Starting point is 00:00:00 all right we're back circling back podcast wednesday my name is will defreeze to my right dave ruff hello podcast world are you doing oj again yeah but that was on a patreon so people didn't get to hear that. The other one, right? You could have sworn on the Patreon. You didn't do the voice this time. You just said what he would say. Yeah, I wasn't really thrilled with how it came out. Probably because I've never done it before.
Starting point is 00:00:37 I thought you did a good job yesterday. Hello, podcast world. What? A lot of people miss it, though. They're not patrons. That's true. Really unfortunate. Can you imagine not being a patron at this point?'t be me even couldn't be me couldn't be
Starting point is 00:00:48 me i got i don't get it if you want to hear more super hilarious things like what i just did you've got to become a certified backer i just don't get people that are out there just listening to like two episodes a week when there's four available weird yeah even if you don't even like the bachelorette or whatever do people people realize that they have back episodes too? You get the full catalog once you subscribe. You get the full catalog. And also, I think we did like 20 minutes on other stuff that wasn't Bachelorette yesterday. We had to go off the rails a little bit.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Actually, a lot of it. We took from their script and we just called an audible and went off script. I broke down the Rangers bullpen. We're almost at the midway point and um yeah i broke down the entire bullpen that was my least favorite part of yesterday's episode yeah probably many people i told dude look we did break down our hobbies which was inspiring stuff or lack thereof just a weird episode man well that was the bachelorette's fault whatever i'm really shook i mean dave you said this morning now that i think about it you said this morning that like twitter moments weren't popping like are we looking at the same twitter
Starting point is 00:01:57 moments because i got everything from whoopi goldberg to the racist parkland kid to are we really doing twitter moments before I get my intro? Oh, what's up? That's Dylan. What's Gucci, dog? Man, great. Everything's great over here. How are my levels, by the way?
Starting point is 00:02:11 We good? Dude, I don't know. We'll never know. People have been talking about how my voice is low. Yeah. Like the volume, I mean. The octave is low. Just to be clear, this is Dylan's fault.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Yeah, I don't know. I guess I wasn't sitting directly in front of the microphone like I used to. I'm not sure. But I think we're fixing it. You normally swallow the mic. I normally do swallow the mic. That's true. But I think today we're good.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Yeah? I don't know. How's it sound, bitch? We'll figure it out. Hey, Ted Cruz chimed in on Twitter. Dylan, I'm doing that. Okay, just to pull back the curtain. I'm just doing that to confirm.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Like, we don't need to talk about that I'm doing that. Why not? Because, like that no one cares that i have headphones on the conversation guys i don't know if you saw this but a texas longhorn from alabama now has the guinness world record for longest horns ted cruz quote tweets first whataburger now this where does it end oh it's from alabama yeah it's a yeah bloodlines from texas well of course yeah do people realize that these politicians like aren't actually sending these tweets themselves so like when you start like
Starting point is 00:03:11 praising them for this stuff and like retweeting that like you're not supporting the actual politician you're supporting their social media guy yeah yeah, people probably don't realize that. No. You're standing for some kid behind a computer screen sending out HootSuite or TweetDeck tweets. Yeah. You've got to give them some credit for putting the right people in place to make those tweets, I guess.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Except for the big orange. I don't think Ted gets that credit after his porn-like. The big orange man. Yeah, the big orange man. That's true. He's doing his own content. The Big Orange Man. Yeah. The Big Orange Man. That's true. He's doing his own. That's true. He's doing his own content.
Starting point is 00:03:47 He's the only one with the keys to that account, I'm pretty sure. He's doing his own. If it came out after the fact that that was a social media intern or something, bravo. Yeah. Because how you could even develop that style. Threatening nuclear war on Twitter. Just some interns like, ha-ha, I'm going to get them.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Just all the misspellings and quotes were just on purpose. Yeah, and threatening countries. I really hate saying this. It's actually a good quote tweet from Ted. No, it's not bad. It's strong. It's topical. It's applicable to him especially.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Like, it's actually not terrible. Thanks to college guy Dave for tagging us in it. I will also say that this Longhorn's horns are pretty impressive. I worry about Longhorns. I feel like those horns are too long. Yeah. They're getting longer. It's got to be hard to walk through doors with that shit.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Yeah, it's like having a 12-inch piece. It's impressive, but it's not very useful. It gets in the way. How do you know? I feel like it's a little bit different than that. I would just imagine. I'm not packing that much, but you can just imagine. It would be a little cumbersome.
Starting point is 00:05:00 What-bersome? Come on. Yeah. Come on. It's exactly like having a 12 inch piece you know what i'm saying like it's like oh check that shit out but like the end of the day it's like man this thing is just in the way yeah but this would be like if you had a 12 inch piece coming out of like your temples right or everyone can see and it was always rock hard this is like having two of them coming out of the side of your head and it was always rock hard. This is like having two of them coming out of the side of your head. And it was always rock hard, and it was sharp at the end.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Some Alabama fan, I guess, sent that to me yesterday, trying to dunk on Texas. Oh, man, he fucking burned you. Got me. Surprised you're here. Yeah. Got me. Impressive steer, though.
Starting point is 00:05:41 It's a steer, David. Why didn't he just... I mean, if I'm an Alabama fan, I just go to the scoreboard like, look, got a really good college football team. Great. You don't have to do this. Get it, man.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Part of the reason I don't talk sports on Twitter, in terms of my favorite teams, is because I don't want to spar with people about stuff. Dude, I've told you this before. I don't talk shit ever about sports because when people't want to spar with people about stuff. Dude, I've told you this before. I don't talk shit ever about sports because when people do it to me, I'm like a little baby, man. It cuts deep, so I don't want to bring it on myself.
Starting point is 00:06:14 I've gotten to a point with my sporting viewing that I am comfortable. I don't need to tweet about my teams. I don't need to get overly upset about them or overly excited. I feel like I'm in a comfortable place, but it also might help that my teams are terrible. When people talk trash about their sports teams, they tend to go low too much.
Starting point is 00:06:37 They'll low blow you. And we're a Michelle Obama podcast. We go high. I don't want to be low blowed, man. It hurts. So they immediately go to Michael Irvin smoking crack in the 90s. podcast we go high i don't want to be i don't want to be low blowed man it hurts so like they immediately go to michael irvin smoking crack in the 90s like all right yeah yeah i guess so i don't know well like did anyone talk shit to you when like the blues won the stanley cup uh if they did
Starting point is 00:06:59 i didn't see it because i've been very heavy on the mute button you got like tweets from people like you weren't even that active tweeting about the Stars playoff run or anything like that. Like you tweeted about it, but nothing crazy. Yeah. And I remember after something like after like game six or something, somebody started talking shit to you and I saw it and I was like, this seems unnecessary. I probably didn't see it because I've muted at least one person on that. My mute hand has gotten so heavy lately.
Starting point is 00:07:23 And people who talk shit after the game has concluded instead of before or during. Those people suck extra. Mm-hmm. Like, okay, you're waiting until it's safe to talk shit. Do it before the game, man. See what happens.
Starting point is 00:07:35 If I'm feeling some type of way and you get in my mentions saying something, like, negative about something I can't control, I'm probably gonna mute you at this point, even if I don't follow you. Yeah, I don't mute that many people.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Oh, I'm a big muter. I have a few people blocked who used to, like, this is back in the Grand X days. People just, it got ugly for a little bit. I don't block people because I feel like that's a hard end to the relationship, whereas with muting, they still think that they're getting to you,
Starting point is 00:08:02 but in reality, you don't see anything they say. I feel like you win by wasting their time. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Two people caught the mute yesterday. Two. Giving people the block gives them the satisfaction of,
Starting point is 00:08:18 oh, I got under his skin. And that sucks. Yeah, the mute doesn't do that. The mute's like, yeah. Then they can tweet the screenshot like, oh, wonder what I said this time. Oh, it's like a badge of honor. By the way, I don't like when people do that.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Unless there's a really, really good story behind it. Like, you just saying, like, Keith Olbermann, you're a fucking pussy. Like, getting blocked. Like, that's not a great story. Dude, my Kirk Herbstreet block was so unwarranted. That was one of the best tweets I've ever sent he blocked me for it remind us he said uh wilton spate the michigan quarterback literally left his heart on the field after the michigan ohio state game and i don't think i you
Starting point is 00:08:56 don't know literally i don't think that he literally left his heart on the field and so i asked so when he said that i asked kirk herbbstreit, who said it, and I was like, so what's his status for the bowl games? That's a pretty good tweet. That's funny. Yeah, he blocked me. I was like, dude, what the hell? He must have gotten a number of tweets. That's really funny.
Starting point is 00:09:17 I was like, dude, that's a good tweet to Kirk. Herbstreit's an empty suit. He's questionable for missing heart. Herbstre street will say stuff positive about michigan and i don't think he actually means it i think it's just because he went to ohio state and he doesn't want to get viewed as a homer sure so he's just saying nice stuff about michigan solely for that reason like he comes up with things in order to get those people on his side he's trying to be like a hardcore journalist,
Starting point is 00:09:45 even though, you know, he wants to cheer for Ohio state. Yeah. I, I don't remember when I lost faith in him, but his, he's had some just terrible top four takes.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Well, then I had Ravel block me and then I had some, like some people tweeted him to unblock me. So I followed him back and then I started following him for like three days. And I was like, actually, I don't even, I don't even want to be unblocked by him. Like this is kind of miserable. So I unfollowed him back, and then I started following him for like three days, and I was like, actually, I don't even want to be unblocked by him. This is kind of miserable, so I unfollowed him. But the point now where if Ravel blocks you, you don't have to tell us. No. We get it.
Starting point is 00:10:13 He blocks a lot of people, and he's like the biggest punching bag on Twitter. Man, I don't want him to ever block me because I really enjoy Darren Ravel. I think I'm one of the few people who, I get he's just a total goober, but it's just so enjoyable. What do you think about his betting scandal? I'm not aware of his betting scandal. What happened? This is breaking news.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Well, he works for the Action Network as their sports betting analyst or something. He covers the business of sports betting. And it came out later that they had been retroactively adjusting the bets that he made publicly to his audience on the action network that they had been changing them retroactively to make it look like he was a better better than he was really then he came out and said that he got confused between dollar values and units like this like when people say like i put 500 units on that whatever so he said he got confused with that and then like as you ran the numbers it's like no you you didn't like this is clear that you guys just change it to make you look better when did this happen recently really
Starting point is 00:11:14 and like the daily beast did some very like actually very uh thorough write-up of it it was not a good look for your boy darren check that out. Yeah. I saw he sent a cease and desist via Twitter to Barstool recently. I'm sure that was a joke, right? No, I mean he... Those guys, they pretend to hate each other, but they love each other, I think. PMT. I don't know about Barstool and Ravel in general. I know that PMT loves him.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Oh. Who knows? I don't know. He was... general i know that pmt loves him oh who knows i don't know he was there was something where he thought he had the exclusive right to tweet the video or something and he responded to one of their things i think he was serious he's just one of those guys man i'm so glad to not be in that world anymore of like uh hey oj just tweeted no he didn't. Nine minutes ago. What did he say? Someone yesterday asked me the best advice I ever got was,
Starting point is 00:12:08 my mother said to me before she passed, Orenthal, you can't let people be, you can't let people and mean speech set you further away from GD. I don't know what GD is. That was the best advice I ever got. And by the way, she was the only one who called me Orenthal. Dude, we didn't come here for that. You're not like...
Starting point is 00:12:29 The responses to his tweets, they're so good. OJ, my wife cheated on me. What should I do? Come on, man. That's so bad. The jury also called you Ornithal too, Juice. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:51 I love that Twitter's just not verifying him. Yeah, why, why is that? Like, dude's got 745,000 followers and, and there's so many fake accounts out there doing fake tweets from him. He's like,
Starting point is 00:13:04 he's the perfect person to verify at this point. The jokes just won't stop. Thank you, OJ. You are killing it. So did y'all see that Pat Mahomes was his clear number one, but with Tyreek Hill's status up in the air, he's debating Baker Mayfield or even Todd Gurley. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:24 What do you think? Is he missing someone? I don't know. Oh, okay. But the responses to that tweet were amazing. Dave, you had a really good OJ joke yesterday in a group text. Oh, did I? Unless you were, like, not intentionally making a joke.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Which one was it? About how OJ's working on his slice? Oh, yeah. Enough time has passed. I mean, I'm sorry to Nicole's family. I wish we could give the source material for why that even came up in that group text. Enough time has passed.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Like, people are allowed to make jokes now. Oh, I know. What are these guys, these athletes who are getting tweeted at? Like, Pat Mahomes. Like, Pat Mahomes isn't taking the bait, right? Like, dude, you got to mash that retweet button. Like, if you're Pat Mahomes, like, you got to quote tweet that with something awesome. You got to throw that tweet from OJ into your group text and say, all right, I need response.
Starting point is 00:14:30 I need to quote tweets right now, guys. You need everyone on. All decks on hand. There's a lot of... Okay. Mahomes will knife through a defense. True. He's a slasher.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Should have been a Bronco. Okay. That's good. He finished his slasher. Should have been a Bronco. Okay. That's good. He finished his tweet with, am I missing someone? And someone said, I can name two people you didn't miss. Oh, don't ever stop. Are there any white wide receivers for the Broncos? White receivers?
Starting point is 00:15:00 Yeah. Because there's so many white Bronco jokes that could be out there. Oh, yeah. If they had Eric Decker still, or if they had, who was that? They had Peyton Hillis. They had Peyton Hillis for a little bit. Baker Mayfield might be risky, but it wouldn't be the first time you took a stab at a Brown.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Okay. That's really good. That's really good. Jeez. Nicole Brown, for those who don't know the connection. Yeah, again, to her family, we're sorry. Yeah. We're not saying this.
Starting point is 00:15:31 We're really sorry. Should we actually get to the show today? Yeah, sorry. Did you intro Dylan? Yeah, I got it. Yeah, this is Dylan. I'm here. What are we starting off with?
Starting point is 00:15:42 We have the words cookout at Dave's on here, which I equate to like weekend at Bernie's. Yeah, only like conceivably we're all alive. What's the status of Dave's crib right now? You've been making some upgrades. I want to have a party. We're going to get on a new coffee table. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Should be in the next five days. You now have a TV situation that is very nice. TV sitches up to par. Yeah. I mean, look, we're ready. I've been trying out some new things. I did some chicken thighs and some drumettes yesterday.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Tried something a little different on the drumettes. I learned a little bit. I thought they were good, but they didn't hit quite like they usually do. So I think I'm ready. I'm ready to have some people over, get some cue going, maybe get Chris down here,
Starting point is 00:16:34 Flying Chris. Hopefully he didn't listen to yesterday's Patreon. He's probably in paradise right now golfing. Are they done? I don't know. Look, as long as Randy's there, I'll be there. He'll be there. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:46 It's all matters to me. Got to clean up the backyard because there's some landmines out there. Oh, yeah. Guy's just dropping bombs. Dude, gross. I'm just kidding. I mean, that's what they do. But, yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Hopefully this weather will cooperate. We can get out there, work the grill, get an apron going. You know I'm an apron guy. You have to be. We're officially in two. Yeah, you got to be an apron guy. I've been looking for a good apron. We're officially in it's too hot for Will to do several outside activities
Starting point is 00:17:20 territory. Klein asking if we want to play an afternoon round of golf. Like I stepped outside yesterday afternoon and I was just like, there's no way that I could feasibly get on a golf course right now. Not only is it touching triple digits this week for the first time this year, it is so muggy. It's so,
Starting point is 00:17:35 it's like extra humid outside. I can't do it. I told Klein I can't do it, man. It's dumb thick. So I did the, um, I had the thing yesterday after the gym,
Starting point is 00:17:45 I did sauna for about 15 minutes. Then I took a shower after I do that. I always finish my shower off with ice cold, two minutes to get the body heat down. And I do this because there's nothing worse than going to a locker and there might be people around and you're trying to, you know, you're trying to be quick and dry off,
Starting point is 00:18:03 but when you're already still hot and like there's sweating. Yeah it happened to me yesterday i thought i was good i got in there and i put tried to put this shirt on and it was like slight it was just sliding over me real slow and i the sleeves were all caught up on the shoulders and i was like dude i'm just sweating through this shirt and i just put it on got home had the back sweat going why do you have any tricks that you do in order to like avoid just being disgusting nothing you could do i switched to organic deodorant because of initially because the aluminum because everyone's saying that aluminum is just terrible to be putting in your body every single day i made that switch and then someone told me that your body starts to adjust and you sweat less i think that's true but like i i still think that like i stink what dave said is a good temporary fix the cold
Starting point is 00:18:53 yeah in your showers i'll call i do the same thing that closes the pores up and brings your temp down but it doesn't last long no do you ever gold bond? Not a gold bond guy. I have, but not in a long time. Before a hot, around a golf? Yeah. If you're a fella, you got to put it on in the undercarriage. I used to keep an entire thing in my bag. Smart. And just use it at the turn.
Starting point is 00:19:16 You know you're playing golf at a good club if they've got gold bond in there. That's an old man thing, but it works. At least, I mean, for nine holes it does, maybe. I also do on the golf course, I take, like, I'll grab a towel and I'll just drench it. Wrap it around your neck? Put it on the neck when you're driving, like, whatever. Like, it's, I used to be very, very ashamed of my sweat when it came to golfing. I don't, I get nervous if somebody parts the cart behind me when I'm taking a shot.
Starting point is 00:19:46 I'm like, I got swamp ass right now. They're going to be making fun of me in their head. Moving to Texas completely stopped that because it was like, you're sweating through everything. It's game over. Brutal out there. The ice towel is big. I'll bring my own. Also, another trick.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I guess we're just going to talk golf real quick. Bring a beach towel. This is sweat hacks. Dude, another trick. I guess we're just going to talk golf real quick. Bring a beach towel. This is sweat hacks. Dude, bring a beach towel for the cart, like for the seat, because that polyester heats up. Dude, that's the worst part of golf carts is the polyester vinyl. I don't even know what it is. Whatever they cover the seats with, it makes your ass sweat like 100 times more.
Starting point is 00:20:21 Yeah. I don't know. Vinyl. It's got to be vinyl. Vinyl, yeah. I don't know. Vinyl. It's got to be vinyl. Vinyl, yeah. I don't know why I said polyester. You can spray it off. That's why it's a good material.
Starting point is 00:20:29 What do y'all want me to dice up? Okay. This is a hundred percent a callback to going to Dylan's Ranch. I need you to put some jalapeno poppers on that. I love poppers. I want to try your pork ribs. Yeah. Yeah, pork ribs.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Let's do some pork ribs. I don't need like a full meal of pork ribs. I don't need like a half rack or anything. I just need like a couple just to try. Sure. Pork, so they're smaller. They're less filling, but it's fine. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Man, this is hard. I'll tell you tell you what can we do some kebabs i love my favorite part of a kebab is just the red onion after it's gotten taken off the grill or a smoker you want some skewies yeah dylan likes skews skews go hard excuse do you go hard man uh what do you what no you're up to something over here. I'm just laughing at Dave saying skewy because that's a caption he used the other day when we were out at that restaurant. Dylan ordered just some straight chicken skews.
Starting point is 00:21:37 That's such a Dylan order at a restaurant. Chicken skewers. I wasn't that hungry, and I just need a little snack. It was a perfect amount of food. It's a good thing to order at a bar if you don't trust the food totally, and you just want some sustenance real quick or something to nibble on. They were good, man.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Skewies. When are you going to try a brisket, Dave? I might do a brisket this weekend, not to spoil this weekend in fun. Whoa. You just spoiled it. People just turned off the podcast. Sunday might be for the lads and also for the briskets. this weekend and fun. Whoa. You just spoiled it. But people just turned off the podcast. Sunday might be for the lads and also for the brisket. You need to get up at like 3 a.m.
Starting point is 00:22:11 If you're having people over, I'd prefer it was like Saturday. I'm not going to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm actually not even going to be here this weekend. No, no, no. So I can't talk. Sunday's going to be a test run on a brisket. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:20 Yeah. Can you get some burnt ends up in there for me? I mean, you guys are really requesting me? Can you just set them aside? You guys are really requesting a ton. Can you just set them aside for your boy? My grill's not that huge. What's the deal with burnt ends? I didn't know what they were before I moved down here.
Starting point is 00:22:34 It's not a Texas thing. People... It's a Kansas City thing. Are they unhealthy? Probably. Because of the charcoal? Carcinogens. Yeah, the carcinogens.
Starting point is 00:22:43 They're so damn good. They are. If you go to Salt Lake and Austin, or I guess outside of Austin. Why don't we, we need to go there. Going there and getting their burnt ends is like, I love them. It's my favorite part of going there. We should go do that. It's BYOB, David.
Starting point is 00:22:57 And they also have wine tasting while you're waiting. Oh, shit. Yeah. Did not know that. There's nothing I love more than a good Texas wine. They're known for that. Hey, I know you're making fun. There are a couple
Starting point is 00:23:09 decent Texas wines. Here's the thing. Dude, I hope you get impaled by a lot more. I'm not going to blow you away. No, no, no. Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:23:15 I can't even talk because I come from northern Michigan where we have a wine region. Those wines aren't good either. I'm not going to act like I'm a wine connoisseur. I don't know anything about it other than when someone tells me that something's good,
Starting point is 00:23:28 I'm like, oh, okay, I can see why this would be good. My issue with like the Michigan and Texas wines is that a lot of the time, the ones that are good have grapes shipped in from places that aren't Texas or Michigan. And the wines that don't kind of taste like grape juice. They're just some kind of like weird juice. I'll throw two recommendations out there, Texas wines. Let's do it. Becker and Messina Hoff.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Okay. Both hold up. Just another thing that you have equity in, and you're just like not telling people. I don't discuss my portfolio. Sally asked me. You're always discussing it. Sally asked me if I was completely like loaded,
Starting point is 00:24:05 could do whatever I wanted, what would I do? I told her, I was like, I would probably move to Napa, open up a vineyard. And she's like, but you don't know how to do that.
Starting point is 00:24:13 I'm like, yeah, I'm so loaded that I don't have to learn how to do it. I can hire someone that's really dope at doing it. And I'll learn along the way. It's not do the really annoying stuff and chill. That'd be sick. So I'd have like three rosies out there just hanging out.
Starting point is 00:24:25 We went to a tasting with a guy who had done just that. The people we went with somehow booked these, they did like three or four private ones. And this guy, he lived on probably like a $3 million lot. And it wasn't even a huge house. But we're in there at his like kitchen table doing a testing. And like, meanwhile, he has all this like modern art. This dude might've murdered us.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Had we been there any longer and he had a Peloton in the corner and we're just sitting there. And then he like handed us the thing that shows how much each bottle of wine was like, how much a case was by far the most expensive I'd ever seen. And I was like, I'm going to sit this one out. I like,
Starting point is 00:25:02 I just like gracious. I handed it back to him. I was like, thank you, sir. Oh man. Like embarrassed my family. It's stressful to sit this one out. I just like, I handed it back to him. I was like, thank you, sir. Oh, man. I've embarrassed my family. It's stressful to go to Napa
Starting point is 00:25:08 just because you can get roped into accidentally spending $300 like in two seconds. Like, oh, hold on. Where'd that $300 go? It's gone. We still get a regular shipment, a quarterly shipment from one of the places. And I tell Sally every single time, I'm like, you got to cancel this.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Like, I don't want to Venmo you for half of this when I don't need to drink this like really nice wine. Welcome to marriage, bud. She called me yesterday and she's like, I've talked to you guys about how we're looking at doing a trip between when she gets done with school and when she starts her job she calls me the other day and she's like trying to talk to me about like her plane ticket and stuff and like hey so we can fly to london for this much blah blah blah and i'm like we're not married yet i don't know why you're telling me this like you're paying your own way figure it out like what am i supposed to do is that really what you told her? Yes. You can ask. I was on speakerphone with the people that she's staying with right now.
Starting point is 00:26:07 And they were like, I could hear them in the background, but I was like, this seems like a you problem. Like, I sounds like you might need to ask for this for like a Christmas present. That's cool. Nice fucking going hard.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Well, dude, come on. Hey, plain tickets aren't cheap, man. A minute ago, I said that you need,
Starting point is 00:26:23 because you dissed Texas wine, you should be impaled by a longhorn. I mean, that would be... I wouldn't want that to happen, but it would be just some sweet irony. Dude, to my credit, though, I did diss Michigan wine as well. I would like you to survive it. I want it to be through the shoulder.
Starting point is 00:26:39 You'd get over it in six weeks. Michigan? Sorry, Texas? It'll never be the same again, though. Texas wine, I'll probably maybe turn my nose up a little bit just because I don't really know. Yeah, it's fine. over in like six weeks michigan or sorry texas will never be the same again though texas texas wine i'll probably maybe turn my nose up a little bit just because like i don't really know yeah it's when it comes to like beer and cider texas is pretty good somebody came to me on twitter saying texas beers are trash there's only one brewery in texas that i don't like no actually
Starting point is 00:26:58 two there's good dude texas is a huge first of all it's not like it's because texas does something different texas is a huge state we're gonna have at's not like it's because Texas does something different. Texas is a huge state. We're going to have at least one brewery that's good. And there's many that are good. But go ahead. Who don't you like? Add them. I don't know if I don't like the brewery as much as I just don't like the one beer.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Yeah, Shiner doesn't really do much for me. It's a very popular Dallas beer. Dallas Blonde? Love Street. Oh, that's fine. There's something weird about the flavor to me, and I don't know what it is. A lot of people guess that up, man.
Starting point is 00:27:33 I'm not one of them. People love Carbock Love Street, and it does nothing for me. The other one, which is, I'm not kidding, is one of the worst beers I've ever had, and I think I might have just gotten a bad batch of it or something, was a wheat beer from Big Ben Brewing Company.
Starting point is 00:27:49 I took one sip and I was like, yeah, I don't want the rest of these. I don't know what to do with them. Carbock does the Crawford Bock, which is the Astros themed beer. Yes. Not bad. Actually a good gimmick.
Starting point is 00:27:58 I won't drink it. It's one of the best looking cans in the game. Dylan, what are your favorite Texas microbreweries? Let's get microbrewery billion. It's one of the best looking cans in the are your favorite texas micro breweries let's get micro brewery and i don't even like the astros um you were saying you saw some cans last weekend that were pretty nice i don't think i said that where were you wait what yeah door i don't think i said that man i don't know my favorite texas micro brewery yeah shit i don't know. My favorite Texas microbrewery? Yeah. Shit, I don't know. There's too many lists.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Look at fake beer guy over here. Yeah. No wonder you're fucking subtle about it. I'm just kidding. Are you actually craft beer guy? Are you just pretending? No, he is. If you were, like, your body,
Starting point is 00:28:37 I feel like your body should be, like, a little bit trash. I'm entry-level craft beer guy. I'm not, like, a hardcore beer guy. No, as far as this podcast, you're the craft beer guy. Sure. I mean, Austin Beer Works is okay. real ale and blanco is pretty good who's more who's more into their thing am i more into meat smoking or are you more into craft beer you definitely talk about it more i feel like i'm entry-level meat smoking see i really want dylan to go like full craft beer
Starting point is 00:28:58 though i want you to be like inside you too here's why here's why i'm not a real craft beer guy, because I don't really like IPAs that much. An IPA is like the craft beer guy's craft beer. Well, it's like the IPA is what a lot of breweries use to get people in the door. They have to have a good IPA. Yeah. I do like IPAs. I love ales a lot. I'm a big ale guy.
Starting point is 00:29:27 It's not the IPA version of it. I don't know the difference between an ale, a lager. It just bites a little too hard for my liking. What about a sessionable IPA, bro? Yeah, there are some good ones. The one at Pine House is really good. Electric Jellyfish IPA. I had a few of them the last week with Dave. House is really good. Electric Jellyfish IPA. I had a few of them last week with Dave.
Starting point is 00:29:46 They're so good. I'm absolutely praying that they start getting more cans out there and more distribution, and you can actually find it a lot of places because I love their beers. Yeah. Speaking of good-looking cans, the beer that I recommend, the Rogue Dead Guy.
Starting point is 00:30:00 What's your name, dude? The Rogue Dead Guy Ale. One of the best-looking cans out there. It's awesome. Anyway. I'm done. The Craft Beer Corner with Dylan. Can we do Craft Beer Corner?
Starting point is 00:30:12 The Craft Corner. Actually, we need to start doing this. The Craft Corner. Yeah, good call. It's where you just drink craft beer and crank. Shouts to Randy who made the Garden Snake video yesterday. He's been doing some video work for us. We might need to start doing the Craft Beer Corner with Dylan.
Starting point is 00:30:24 He crushed that video he sends these things to me like without much of like a description for anything and i watch him i'm like dude this is amazing like how did you do this i was when i realized what he was going to be doing like so he's been sending me clips on snapchat like not not with no audio, just photos of the snake. When I realized he was doing this, I was worried because when we were talking about that, we weren't expecting it to get turned
Starting point is 00:30:54 into a clip or anything. So I was like, dude, is this going to be good? Are people going to enjoy these out-of-context clips? It turns out, yes. Yes, they will. So thank you, Randy.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Shouts, Randy. Did they go microvi? Pretty close. Did a lot. Yeah. It's our most viewed video. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Numbies. How'd we get here? You were going to get impaled by a longhorn. No, but we do need to go to Salt Lake. I have gone on record saying that like, I don't know good wine. I just, oh, dude, no one's going to go to Salt Lake. I have gone on record saying that I don't know good wine. I just...
Starting point is 00:31:26 Oh, dude. I don't think you're going to get roasted for that. No one's going to burn you for that. We did. No one's going to ride real hard for Texas wines. We had Micah and his fiance, Boo Boo, up to our apartment a couple weeks ago. And we had two bottles of wine in our apartment. One was from our wine subscription and one was from a vineyard that we bought a bottle from in Fredericksburg.
Starting point is 00:31:49 We led with the Napa one. And then we poured the Fredericksburg one and Micah was like visibly shook. He was just like, oh, that's not the same. And I was like, yeah, I don't know what you want me to do here. Like it's a free bottle of wine. So like just drink it. But I know it tastes like trash compared to what we just drank. I don't know what you want me to do here. Like, it's a free bottle of wine, so, like, just drink it. But I know it tastes like trash compared to what we just drank. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:07 I don't know that shit, though. Have y'all done Fredericksburg? Yeah. Yeah. It's been a while for me. I'd like to go give it another shot. Becker is out near Fredericksburg. Yeah, Becker.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Yeah. We did the wine tour. That's kind of Texas wine country. Someone once told me that the reason texas wines are so good is because they they were like well no no no the grapes the stress in the dirt because it's so hot makes the grapes better dude wine people love talking about stressing out the vine yeah and i'm like are you sure dude because this is like the fucking this is not that far from like the desert of west texas like yeah this is good wine country maybe that's right
Starting point is 00:32:44 i don't know they've got some decent wine out near lubbock oh i've done that i can't name drop anybody but yeah it's like wine tasting like the the mid-30s bar crawl it absolutely is for sure good call i love wine tasting unsolicited recommendation i'll get more friends from college. Friends from college on Netflix is great. And they do a wine tasting episode and it's honestly weirdly accurate. It's like, yes, this actually does happen. Another unsolicited recommendation.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Do not watch Wine Country with Amy Poehler. Terrible movie. Wasn't going to. Not good. I thought it was going to be like bridesmaids level entertaining. I thought bridesmaids was funny. Turns out this movie was not. I thought you meant Amy to be like bridesmaids level entertaining. I thought bridesmaids was funny. Turns out this movie was not.
Starting point is 00:33:27 I thought you meant Amy Schumer at first. This makes me want to go to Napa, man. It's been a minute. I think Sally's going to do her bachelorette party there. Oh, Dylan, you should go. I won't be invited, so it doesn't do much for me. I kind of want to go, like, just on the low. Let's crash it.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Surprise, bitches. Should we read some reviews? you want to read reviews yeah so we we we realized this morning we haven't looked at our reviews in maybe months we got a lot of reviews in the beginning we're not getting as many now which is natural uh if you are enjoying the podcast please give us a review we love a good five-star review. Yeah. Yeah. And there's plenty of them.
Starting point is 00:34:10 We got some good ones here. We used to love doing this. I hadn't looked in a couple months. Turns out some of our listeners are pretty funny. Yeah. For example, this guy left his first and last name. I'm only going to read his first. This is from Chris. How a boy becomes a man.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Little backstory here. I started listening to Circling Back when I was still a wee lad. I was maybe 110 pounds soaking wet and hadn't touched a woman until the ripe old age of 18. It was a handshake. Fast forward a few weeks later while listening to Circling Back constantly and I became a man. I went from being a scrawny hairless kid to a man all caps i am now coated in hair from head to toe and put on around 150 pounds of raw muscle that's a lot can't be natural but who knows women can't help but throw themselves at me now the podcast will take any average joe and turn them into a man just like it did for me i feel like that might be hyperbole damn i don't know dave why are women flocking to him if he's covered head to toe and hair
Starting point is 00:35:04 might be hyperbole damn i don't know dave why are women flocking to him if he's covered head to toe and hair because he's extra man head to toe like he looks sounds like a wookie very manly here's a five star from bring back the yeet guys being dudes my wife asked me what this podcast is about and i had absolutely no clue how to respond that's that's common a lot it's common i love that okay this is funny here's one from early May. Maybe it's applicable today. Who knows? Serious lesson in conflict resolution. Dave does the best job at de-escalating situations
Starting point is 00:35:34 when Will and Dorn go at each other. Great pod. Five stars. No, dude. If you re-listen to Dylan and I talking marine layers, which we've since made up, Dave does a good job of trying to. He adds comedic relief.
Starting point is 00:35:47 But he tries to, but also he does add fuel to the fire the entire time. And it was just like. He's the one who told you to look up shit on. I just wanted you to pull the data. But it was just hilarious because you can tell that part of you is trying to like mediate, but then the other part of you is just like casually throwing fuel onto the fire. He did a good job of disguising himself as the instigator with comedic relief. Did I gaslight the pod?
Starting point is 00:36:08 I might have gaslit it. You threw it and ran. Here's five stars. Alberto Cortez. This is from April. Dear Dave, I'll unsubscribe from the pod if you don't start introducing Dylan. Huh. It seems like a lot to ask. People ask
Starting point is 00:36:24 why I introduced Dave first first uh honestly it's because i've been doing that for like four years yeah like it's just how it's always been it doesn't hurt my feelings at all so you can keep doing it oh here's a four-star one give it to a four-star you guys want to get real give it to late on us tampa it That's the subject. Will, if you're going to say, I don't do politics, don't try to do politics here, please. It's embarrassing. It sounds like I said something to this guy, or said something that this guy disagrees with, which is exactly why I try not to talk politics ever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:58 Like, this guy heard one thing that I said, which, as someone who doesn't really talk politics that much, I can't imagine I had some scorching hot take. I think I know exactly what it was. I think you said something about European socialism not working here. So, this is why you don't talk politics, because if you do say one thing that one person agrees with,
Starting point is 00:37:18 a dude will go onto iTunes and rate your podcast four stars. You gotta be careful. You can make a very sound just off the cuff comment about politics and if someone like if someone doesn't agree with it they think you're an idiot i'm starting politics they're just someone on reddit called me the aoc of uh circling back that's tough and that's tough more, the more I'm starting to understand what they meant by that, the more I'm just going to start owning it.
Starting point is 00:37:48 She's a content machine. She's a content machine. I can't, I can't figure out if she's very well liked or, or just depends. It depends what side you're talking to Dylan. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:58 She's polarizing for sure. You should try to DM her. You'd have good looking kids. Serious question. I don't know, man. You, she's the one, she's got to DM her. You'd have good looking kids. Is she single? Serious question. I don't know, man. She's the one that was on Twitter and you were like, dude, who is this?
Starting point is 00:38:12 Is she a politician? That's not true, Dave. If she... I know who AOC is. If she's not single, then she has to be straight ignoring her significant other because she is constantly tweeting and doing stuff. She's married to the game.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Yeah. That's got to be tough on any relationship. Yeah. Married to a content machine like Ted Cruz's wife. She's just like... That lady.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Yeah. I mean, he's always just doing the dope tantrum. I can't... When you say this, when you say being married to a content machine,
Starting point is 00:38:39 all I can think about is you sitting on your couch on New Year's Eve doing a face swap with Ted Cruz while Alyssa's in the background asking you to stop and i was him here's a good one from bucks go ahead no i was just as someone sitting at home sober on new year's eve that night like it was the best part of my night bucks van 74 i was literally pulling out as you sent that gross darn did you
Starting point is 00:39:03 say that that was in quotes did you say that wait say it again i was literally pulling out as you sent that. Gross. Dorn. Did you say that? That was in quotes. Did you say that? Wait, wait. Say it again. I was literally pulling out as you sent that text. Maybe like pulling out of a parking spot. I don't understand what this... I know what he means by pulling out. Sounds like he's just using an out of context line to try to get you.
Starting point is 00:39:22 That's poor. Do better. You said it, not him. Have you ever texted me after you pulled out? Yes or no? Of a parking spot? Yes. I know. Just anything in general. I don't. I don't want. Hey, I'm looking up AOC
Starting point is 00:39:40 right now to see if you can actually DM her, Dylan. I'm not going to DM her. Don't DM her. You've already shot this shot with Brie. No, yeah. It turns out you can't. I feel like on a grand scale, this would be a poor move for you and the pod. You're just trying to get me in trouble, aren't you?
Starting point is 00:39:57 Which documentary are you more likely to watch? The one on AOC on Netflix or the Beto documentary on HBO? I'm not watching either of them. I'll watch Beto. That's not the question, Dylan. What are you more likely to watch?
Starting point is 00:40:09 Beto. No, you're going to watch AOC because she's a cutie. That's not true. Hey, little cutie. I got a friend who looks just like Beto. It's funny. Which guy?
Starting point is 00:40:22 We were at a Strohs game and we were convinced everyone around us that it was him. Eugene? You met Eugene? He does not look like him. He looks enough like him to where if you aren't real familiar with who he is, you could be convinced that it's him. And so he was shaking hands and taking pictures with people at the Astros game.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Dude, that's so messed up. That's so funny. But it's easy to replicate what he looks like as far as, like, attire. Yeah. Because it's a plaid button down tucked into some chinos some like trendy sleeves rolled up or something sleeves rolled up and like wherever he's at. So like an Astros
Starting point is 00:40:51 dad cap. He has like a little bit of his shirt on talk to show that like no I've been just grinding. Yeah. Beto strikes me the office. I don't know if this is confirmed and this may be unfair but he strikes me as a braided belt guy. Dude not. No I don't know if this is confirmed, and this may be unfair, but he strikes me as a braided belt guy. Dude, not.
Starting point is 00:41:06 No, I don't think so. Duda strikes me as a braided belt guy. But like a long one to where it hangs halfway down. Duda has a hang. You have to wrap it around the belt a couple of times to take some length out of it. That's such a trash move. Oh, my God. Braided belts.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Yikes. People probably hear us talk about Beto and they think that they can make assumptions about our beliefs and whatnot. Honestly, it's just because he's a content machine from our home state that got the biggest hype machine ever behind him. We never talk his politics.
Starting point is 00:41:41 We only talk about the annoying things he does on the internet. Look, if you're going to go out on stage, and he did this, there's video. If you're going to go out on an auditorium stage on a skateboard, and skateboard across the stage, we're going to talk about it. Did you see that he did, like, I forget. It was some primary thing, and they had a bunch of, like, people walked out to songs, and he walked out to The Clash.
Starting point is 00:42:05 And it was like, dude, we get it. We get it. Which song? London Calling? I don't know. He said that the entire album changed his life. And it's like, yeah, dude, that's the most typical thing you could say right now.
Starting point is 00:42:15 I believe that. Doesn't he have a musical background? Like, wasn't he like in a punk band or something? Yeah. He got a Dewey also. Yeah. They two did? Yep. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Don't drink Dewey also. Yeah. Beto did? Yep.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Don't drink and drive, people. I mean, so did W. Yeah, people get them. I mean, I don't know if people really, I don't know. I don't know if the people who were attacking Beto for the DWI attacked W for that.
Starting point is 00:42:40 I feel like that Venn diagram is something I'd like to see. I just like to keep it fair. Keep it consistent. I mean, yeah. Do we have any other reviews? That being said, I just don't think a lot of his policies are sustainable. At least in the way that he's presenting them now. I think what he needs to do is be
Starting point is 00:42:58 more specific with his ideas instead of talking like in grandiose, broad statements. Hyperbole. Give me a ticket with he and aoc just do it that's a let us have all the content is he hot is beto hot i think he is he politics hot he's he's 45 year old hot his adam's apple is too pronounced it's it's all i can see when he talks he like a guy, he looks like a dad of your friend who would corner you at a party
Starting point is 00:43:27 and talk to you about the training he's been doing for an Ironman for like two hours. And it's just like, dude, end it. Let me go talk to my friends. Why don't you just add Shitto? That's not who I was talking about.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Any other good reviews, Davey? Yeah. Yeah, this person... Hold on. Had to do it to him. Three kings, one pod. Hilarity, life, wisdom, and maybe a sneaky shout's gotten off here or there occasionally.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Some say this trio is life-changing, and they are right. That wasn't great, but that was just a nice review. Some of these have some mean things said about us, and I don't want to read them. You're definitely looking at one right now that has't want to read them. So you know what? You're definitely looking at one right now that has a mean thing.
Starting point is 00:44:08 Yeah. Who is it about? Just, it's gotta be about me. It's probably about me. Will is a bit of a cream boy, but this pod deserved the award. What's a cream boy?
Starting point is 00:44:16 No, I feel like it's something that like five stars. Okay. Five stars. Yeah. No, Dylan might get the most shit on the podcast. I definitely get the most shit in the reviews.
Starting point is 00:44:27 If you drop five stars, you can say whatever you want about me. That's fine. I mean, no. Yeah. Okay, somebody said I'm the Ja Rule of small to mid-sized podcasts, and sir, that is no compliment. Who's Billy McFarlane in this sense? Oh, did you see this one?
Starting point is 00:44:41 No. Oh, okay. They said you've got the Elizabeth Holmes swag on lock. Dude, I'll take that. Dude, she does have swag. No. No, she has none. Are you serious?
Starting point is 00:44:54 She's crazy. Dylan's dedication to the squad rivals that of Andy King. If you guys are unfamiliar with Andy King, I believe he's the guy that was tasked with going to customs. Maybe getting the water? Yes. I don't know who this guy is.
Starting point is 00:45:08 He is the guy who was, as Dave said, tasked with getting the water by any means necessary. What water are we referring to here? The Evian water.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Oh. He was going to use his mouth and I don't know if we're still talking about that. Yeah, we're not talking about
Starting point is 00:45:22 drinking water. He's about to become the number one head bopper. I think that's been as a compliment, and I will take it. Why? Because he's ride or die, and I want him on my team? Yeah. I mean, if I had to do that for the squad, who knows? If you're on a football team and there's 10 Andy Kings lined up next to you,
Starting point is 00:45:39 you know that you're going to at least give yourself a chance. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you might not win, but you're going down fighting. Or sucking. Didn't... Sucking. Who was the media company that was tied up on that,
Starting point is 00:45:56 that we tried to cancel, but I don't think they got canceled? Fuck Jerry Media. Yeah, they ended up just kind of making it out of that, right? I guess. I think there's actual lawsuits that involve them, though. Yeah, I think so, too. I don't feel bad at all for them. Oh, is it because they built their entire business
Starting point is 00:46:13 on stealing content from other people? I said this on Twitter the other day. Like, this, obviously, Fuck Jerry Media is different than the Fat Jewish, but, like... They're in the same... If you're involved with them in any capacity it's a huge red flag those guys suck not only are they insufferable human beings from like an outsider's perspective but yeah they built their entire empire on just stealing shit without credit and then acting like
Starting point is 00:46:36 they're not doing it like acting like their captions are the reason that you're there like we're not there for your captions bud you're screenshotting tweets and taking someone's name out of it. They're canceled. Yeah. Well, we tried. I feel like they ended up just getting muted, and then it was like they just somehow got unmuted.
Starting point is 00:46:54 I feel like, yeah, the internet definitely muted them instead of canceling them. And now we're not standing them, but they're back. There was like a little movement to unfollow, I think, the fat Jewish. Or no, maybe it was Fuck Jerry. And they were actually losing followers at a pretty rapid clip, but I think it evened itself out. That was fun. It's fun to have fun. Thank you for the feedback.
Starting point is 00:47:14 I enjoy fun. You know what you should use when you have too much fun, maybe after a night out or when you're on vacation? Is it Liquid IV? Liquid IV. Hell yeah. It's the fastest most efficient way to stay hydrated. I'll be honest, I've been using it a lot lately. I think that Liquid IV. Hell yeah. It's the fastest, most efficient way to stay hydrated. I'll be honest, I've been using it a lot lately. I think that liquid IV sent us a package with a bunch of liquid IV and I thought that they sent it to all of us and I'm now realizing that they just sent
Starting point is 00:47:34 it to me. How long ago did you get it? Dude, I have so much. Dude, break me off. I will. I will. I actually like that shit. I have so much. It's crazy. The sneaky tastes really good. The passion fruit, the acai, game over. Come on. See, I don't even have that flavor, man. Yeah, I'll bring you guys some. You got to remind me. Liquid IV is the fastest growing wellness brand.
Starting point is 00:47:51 You can find them everywhere, even Costco. You can find their hydration multipliers sold at Costco's nationwide. That's big. They utilize cellular transport technology, CTT. Yeah, that's something I've been working on. It's a specific ratio of glucose which is pure cane sugar sodium which is mine salt and potassium you know what the the symbol for potassium is on the uh periodic table pa no just a k uh anyway when mixed with
Starting point is 00:48:19 16 ounces of water it helps your body absorb more of the water and nutrients you drink directly into your bloodstream it's real easy you got to have a couple of those in your adopt kit overnight kit whatever you use if you're going traveling do the thing underway to the airport you're hung over pop that in a little water you're good i'm going i mean so this is this this holds true with hotels the water in hotels always tastes a little funky. Yeah. You don't necessarily want to drink 16 ounces of that. No.

Starting point is 00:49:50 because I use it all the time because I have like so much of it and you guys don't. I wonder if you can mix a little vodka in it. Dude, chill, dog. Just saying.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Just saying. Let's work on that in the lab. I bet it'd be good. I forgot we put this on here. Do you guys want a wedding update? Please. People on Reddit have said that they want this.
Starting point is 00:50:15 I'm probably not going to do a specific podcast on it. Yeah, but people want a whole pod. No, no. That was tossed around, but I don't know if I want. I don't know if I need that much exposure. But I think I've said this to Dylan upwards of four times over the last five days. Wedding planning sucks more than I thought it would. Yeah, because I feel like you're going to be more heavily involved than a lot of people. Well, it's also that it's in my hometown in Michigan and not in Austin.
Starting point is 00:50:41 So Sally's not familiar with some things. And also, we have to do it long distance it fucking sucks i don't even get to the i'm not even doing the fun part yet where you get to like try food and like do stuff like that that is actually i thought that was going to be overrated just because everyone was telling me oh you'll love that it was tight it was tight yeah food was good at camp lucy shout out to them the only things that we've gotten solidified so far like the only things are i hired my cousin as a bagpiper that's number one love the bag number two we have ourselves penciled in for a venue but like that's still massively up in the air which i've been dealing with for way too long uh we've determined what i would say is a 98 done list of
Starting point is 00:51:23 invitees. That was more miserable than I thought it would be. You really have to look at your relationships and think to yourself, all right, are they more important than this person? It sucks. That part sucks. It's tough. Can I ask you a question about your cousin?
Starting point is 00:51:38 You said he's a bagpipe guy? Yeah. Is he also a sword guy? No, no, no. Okay. He's strictly bags. All right. Wait, why? I just feel like the kind of guy that gets into,
Starting point is 00:51:49 like, actually takes the time to learn the bagpipes might also collect swords. Really? That's not fair. Sally doesn't want bagpipes. That's not fair. I can't believe she's letting you just go loco and get bagpipes. That's a big deal.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Dude, I don't get to go... I feel like I'm not going to get to go rogue that many times during this wedding process. And if I am going to to go rogue it's to get a bagpipe man i love the bagpipe yeah they put me in a good mood i'm surprised you're not getting like uh i don't know like a jazz pianist instead dude that's she's trying to get like don't even get me started like honestly it's so stressful man like we have a wedding planner it's so stressful, man. Like, we have a wedding planner, it's even stressful.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Communicating with wedding planners is hard. Wedding planners, like, they don't have all the time in the world because they work on weekends at the weddings, so they only have, like, select few days or times where you can actually talk to them. Is it true that Sally doesn't want to bagpipe her because she knows it's going to greatly increase the likelihood of like a william wallace joke series like because people are going to go full braveheart i'm going to be doing what's she going to do when she starts walking down the
Starting point is 00:52:53 aisle and sees me waiting there at the end and i'm just sitting there in a kilt and your face painted blue and white yeah but on it like what's to do? Sally. She'll probably turn around and walk out. Did William Wallace have a beard? I've thought about this. Why did... In all these movies, there aren't enough guys with just massive beards. I feel like guys in those times weren't shaving every day.
Starting point is 00:53:17 His... Remember the big lug? That was like his boy, whose dad ended up dying in Brevard. He had a good beard. I guess he did have a beard per all these photos. The only time he didn't have a beard is when Mel Gibson was him. I bet Mel Gibson cannot grow a good beard.
Starting point is 00:53:32 I take it back. It appears as though our man's William Wallace had a dope-ass beard. Like the real one. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, if we're stepping onto the battlefield and i'm a proper english lad and i look across and i see this dude with his face painted going crazy in a kilt with uh a beard yeah that's gonna scare the shit out of me as if he doesn't have a beard ah low t that's another
Starting point is 00:53:59 thing i got people asking me if i'm gonna shave my beard for the wedding i'm like that like you realize i've had this beard for three years. I'm not going to just shave it for one day for no reason. It'd be weird if I shaved my beard and then people saw photos of me and at that point in my life is the only time during this period that I don't have a beard. Question, since you're getting married out of town, do you have a hometown barbershop? since you're getting married out of town who is your do you have a hometown barber shop because you're going to need to get that beard trimmed
Starting point is 00:54:28 up like a couple days before my girl will be seeing me day like the day I leave the day I leave she'll be seeing me my beard needs a couple days to fill in after a beard trim to work itself out so I will be talking to her right before I leave for Michigan. Are you going to tell her what it's for? Because that would really put the pressure on. Like this is my wedding beard. Absolutely. How much time will pass between your beard trimming and the ceremony?
Starting point is 00:54:54 Dylan, it really, truly hard to say. That's tough, man. I can go up to a week and still be okay with my beard trim. Really? Yeah. You're going to get a little. I can handle it. I can handle down here.
Starting point is 00:55:05 So you're pointing at me right now because I have a neck beard right now. I'm actually getting a beard trim this Friday ahead of the wedding that I'm going to. Okay. So I haven't been doing it myself just because I know she can do a better job. None of your friends have beards. No, not really. I have a couple, but many don't. Except for Dylan.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Assuming y'all are still friends. You can't really call this a beard though the only fun I've had the only fun I've had so far was when I finally took the dive the other day and started looking at tuxes you're going white tux right I did
Starting point is 00:55:38 toss out the idea to Sally of me wearing like the white tux jacket with like the black pants but I'm not gonna do that don't i just did that i just tossed it out to her so my problem jacket no no this is like the one that i sent her was a really nice looking jacket are you buying or renting i'm gonna buy you already own a tux right yeah but i'm not gonna wear that it's a really shitty tux like by really shitty i mean like i'm not afraid to ruin it Your groomsmen
Starting point is 00:56:05 Will they be purchasing as well? I haven't figured that out yet Dylan Okay I haven't figured that out yet Okay So Don't throw too much on your plate right now I know you already got enough
Starting point is 00:56:13 Dude the plate's full I know Okay this is interesting Because the last time we talked Like off mic You told me that you were gonna wear Like a zoot suit And you and Sally were gonna learn
Starting point is 00:56:22 Like swing dancing Well the thing is I can't find A suit that matches the cane That i want to use at the wedding that's that's tough that's always the hardest part and the top hats that i've been trying on don't really i have like a weird head shape and so those don't really work yet and you're gonna walk out to zoot suit riot i'm gonna throw back a lot of bottles of beer that night what a shit fucking era that was for stop dude my mom loves it. No, but I mean like... Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and the
Starting point is 00:56:47 Brian Setzer Orchestra? Oh, no. Come on. Who do you think our wedding band is, dude? It's not Brian Setzer. We're getting a Big Bad Voodoo Daddy cover band for our wedding. I'd rather it be Brian Seltzerwater. Is he dead or something? Why'd you say it wouldn't be him? I feel like we could get him.
Starting point is 00:57:03 I bet you could get him for 10k. Dude, I feel like he wouldn't be that much. But to have the full band, it wouldn't be him? I feel like we could get him. I bet you could get him for 10 K. Dude, I feel like he wouldn't be that much, but to have the full band, it's going to be 20 to have the orchestra. I was told that you need to budget for like a really bad-ass wedding band. You need to budget a thousand dollars per person in the band. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:17 That's crazy. Good for them. Yeah. I heard you're getting LC rocks. I keep just making shit up. Don't shout. Do you know who LC rocks is? Well, yes, I do. Sorry getting LC Rocks. I keep just making shit up. Dylan, shout out to you. Do you know who LC Rocks is? Yes, I do.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Sorry. Do you really? Yeah. I think I've seen them at... You probably have. I forget the name of the place. It's near 6th Street. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:36 I wonder if Sherry's still doing their booking. He puts a fan down right in front of him, so it just blows his hair everywhere like he's in a music video during his performance. Pretty cool. I just typed in Brian Setzer Orchestra, and the first thing that comes up is briansetzer.com, blows his hair everywhere like he's in a music video during his performance pretty cool i just typed in brian setzer orchestra and the first thing that comes up is brian setzer.com and then underneath it google notes that this site may be hacked yikes if you go to the site it looks like
Starting point is 00:57:56 this site has not been it looks like they made this on angel fire this might be a zanga page is it zanga please be a zanga i always say zanga i don't know zanga sounds like uh something else maybe it's a cena webo don't go to if it's been hacked yeah what are you doing it's too late i'm already on it i'm already on it is he doing anything in austin no he's doing a big... See, this is upsetting. He's doing a big European swing. Pun intended. Oh, well. I'm running home to my home, I care. Dylan, did you ever have a swing phase?
Starting point is 00:58:36 I think you know I didn't, Dave. You were never really into the big bad voodoo daddies, huh? No, I was not. I thought you were a big swinger. Oh, come on. Only with a baseball bat, am I right? Give it to me, Dave. Hit it one time. There it is.
Starting point is 00:58:52 No. I feel like you not playing golf in the heat is really going to hurt your game, and I feel like you were coming along pretty nicely. You think so? You were hitting the ball way more accurately than in the past. In the past, you were a guy who makes great contact, but didn't necessarily know where it was going. Then the last three or four times I've played with you, you're hitting fairways, you're hitting greens.
Starting point is 00:59:15 Should I start hitting early morning range sessions to keep the game sharp? Get a club, go out. You know what you should do? You should be a guy out in the front of the apartment complex just taking swings. 50 swings a day just cuts you know that's a really nice compliment we said about my game i appreciate that i mean you're still a dipshit for not knowing the marine layer thing but oh don't it's true um kidding no your game's good i just wish you would my only
Starting point is 00:59:39 issue with your game is how wide wide your putting stance is that's your only issue with my game because it looks like you're it just it looks like a guy who's trying to like uh pull one out to left field like you were so wide huh people people ask like who who is the best golfer out of us three and honestly it depends on the day yeah it depends on the nine like i mean we really do trade yeah i've been bad i've been working on some things i've been terrible man if i could put tight hey we have steamer run here is anyone steaming no um y'all want to do a retroactive marine layer steam i have a mini steam but it's i don't even Is anyone steaming? No.
Starting point is 01:00:28 Y'all want to do a retroactive marine layer steam? I have a mini steam, but I don't even know if it's worth turning the steam on. I think you'd better hit the steam. Oh, shit. Yeah, I just hit the steam. Wow, that's loud steam. I just mashed that steam button. Wow.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Better be good. That's the first time we mashed it, so don't ruin it. That's for you, Dave. Are you going to get him over there? You're just whipping it in the air right now. Get over here, Davey. I never go over there. I'll have to come to you.
Starting point is 01:00:55 You? Yeah. All right. Seems predatory. Yeah, I have a mini steam. What? How with it? The way people spell my first name on the internet i forgot on the internet this is gonna end with people doing this yeah you're everyone's gonna do this now all right so you've already
Starting point is 01:01:11 gone down that continue dylan the steam's on people put a second i in dylan like my name is dillion they spell it l l i o n you used to make people call you cash money dillionaire dillionaire was a nickname of mine for a little bit. Was your AIM screen name Dillionaire? For a little bit, yeah. Oh, my God. But I don't understand. I can't wrap my brain around why people would add that second I in there.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Well, they're going to do it. You're going to really hate it now. Do they think my name is Dillion? Dillion? I just Googled Dillion. I put it in quotes. I Googled it. In Urban Dictionary, the first thing that comes up,
Starting point is 01:01:47 it says that it's a dick-sized number, which usually causes women to climax upon hearing it. It's like, oh, how much money did I make last year? A dillion. Really? Yeah, apparently. Okay. A dick-sized number?
Starting point is 01:02:00 A dick-sized number. Combining the word dick with... Million. Million? Or billion. Okay. I think because people are so used to those two words, million and billion, that they just want to add that I into my name.
Starting point is 01:02:13 But my name is not Dillion. Like, no one says that, right? Do you say it in your head as Dillion as you're typing it out incorrectly? No. I don't understand. That's my mini-steam, but I've been steaming on this my whole life because it's... 75% of people spell it that way. I don't understand. That's my mini-steam, but I've been steaming on this my whole life because it's...
Starting point is 01:02:28 75% of people spell it that way. I don't understand. And now that I understand, it's going to get worse now. So, are you just steaming on this because you really wanted to steam on the kid who didn't get accepted to Harvard? Yeah. No. That kid's an idiot.
Starting point is 01:02:45 That kid. It's weird that someone wouldn't get into a prestigious college for something they did in high school. It's weird that someone who's smart enough to get into Harvard on his academic merit is dumb enough to do a stunt like this. Does he know what he's doing by making this a bigger deal? Because I would have never known who this kid was after the fact. And now I know who he is.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Is he just chasing that 15 minutes? This is not how you chase 15 minutes, though. I totally agree. We would have never known about him dropping an N-bomb. And instead...
Starting point is 01:03:15 Do we need to set the table for people who don't know the story? Yes. I cannot be the person that does it. I don't know the entire story. So he is a...
Starting point is 01:03:24 Okay. It starts... It sounds bad at first so he's a survivor of the parkland mass shooting um he survivor he didn't like get shot or anything but he was there had classmates killed and out of that there was i think this is the same thing there was a kid who came out and became like a big gun rights act or i i'm sorry a uh gun control advocate david hogg is his name i'm assuming yeah didn't they call you david hogg at one point didn't i kind of knew that was gonna happen uh so and then this kid came out and he was kind of like the gun rights guy like oh okay so he took a little bit of a different angle fine get a new slant bud i'm not really not really going to dive into that in the steam room.
Starting point is 01:04:08 That's not steam room safe. But in doing so, some screenshots came out of, was it a Google Doc? I thought it was a group text. You said Google Doc earlier. Apparently it was some type of Google Doc. Weird. Okay. And he and his friends were doing some pretty offensive stuff in there.
Starting point is 01:04:28 I don't know the context, but I know there were some hard ends dropped in there and some other things, anti-Semitic. He apparently made some comments regarding Jewish people. Indeed. Of which he is apparently Jewish. He said that he's been going to a synagogue weekly recently. So, I mean, he's just deep in the game at this point. Anyway, he apparently is smart enough to get into Harvard
Starting point is 01:04:53 or at least think he can get into Harvard. But they found out about this, and they have denied his application. I think he got accepted, and they have renounced it. If you get accepted somewhere and they renounce it, your only move, especially in this case when it got renounced because you dropped an N-bomb, your only move is just doing the Homer Simpson gif into the bushes and going to a different school.
Starting point is 01:05:17 Like, dude, go to Stanford and hope that they don't realize what happened at Harvard. He did get, it was rescinded. So he was initially accepted into Harvard, which you got to be very smart. And then that came out not great. And he was 16 at the age, or he was 16
Starting point is 01:05:31 when he dropped his slurs. Do we want to play the clip of him on Fox News talking about it? The terrible comparison that he made? Yeah, because there's more to it. He compares so Harvard, which is founded in like the 1600s or something, is that right?
Starting point is 01:05:48 I think so. They had, like, it was tied to slave ownership, so he made a parallel between Harvard, like basically calling them hypocrites, right? Yeah. Let's play the clip. This is him talking on Fox News. I don't know who the guy he's talking to is,
Starting point is 01:06:00 but this is essentially the kid explaining that his racism should be excused because of the 1600s. Harvard, for people who don't know, Harvard was founded in 1636 by slave owners. It has a long history of racism, sexism, misogyny. But I think that people can grow and people can change. And I don't hold that standard to Harvard. And I think that people can make mistakes. And I don't think that mistakes make you irredeemable, as Harvard showed for me. Fair point. Can I give you a timeout there?
Starting point is 01:06:30 So you're mentioning that they had slave owners in the 1600s. You using the N-word was, what, a year, year and a half ago? Two years ago. Two years ago. A little more recent. Okay. Okay. You did put them in time out man people thought that people did not think that fox was going to take that angle did they no but i did see somebody say in
Starting point is 01:06:52 the mentions i i got lost in the mentions of this earlier just because i thought that this video was so absurd uh but somebody said in the mentions like no see fox news is going to be hard on this teenager kid because they know that they can use it later and be like, no, we were hard on that teenager who couldn't defend himself correctly. And then they just go off on some other tangent about something. Some of the responses to this were, like, one person said, quote, as compared to slavery, what I did was nothing. Like, not a good excuse.
Starting point is 01:07:20 I feel like the people that are sticking up for this kid are Russian bots exclusively trying to create a panic and chaos. Dissension. Dylan Garrett on Twitter said both Harvard and myself has a history of bigotry is a bold angle. It's true. It's very true. I mean,
Starting point is 01:07:39 yeah, a lot of people made this point on Twitter, but like, that's kind of how it works. Like you colleges, they look at your application and they kind of, if you point on Twitter, but that's kind of how it works. Colleges, they look at your application. If you do something like a DUI or you got popped for Coke, then they're like, oh, yeah, you can't go here because it's something you did.
Starting point is 01:07:56 That's how it works. So I don't know. I don't know if there's any prominent people sticking up for him. He should probably lay low and just go to Texas State or something. Take a gap year, change your name, apply elsewhere. What's another Ivy League school? Texas State's not Ivy League, is it? They call it the Harvard of the South.
Starting point is 01:08:16 It's the Ivy League school on the river. Do you guys have a rowing team? Maybe a club one? That's how you know you're in Ivy League school, when you've got a club rowing team, a crew team. I was going to say, is crew and rowing, are they the same thing,
Starting point is 01:08:34 or is it different? I think to people like you and I, they're the same thing, but I think if we've got any crew hardos out there, I think they probably are. I feel like you would have knocked this question out of the ballpark. I feel like that's something you definitely know. The only rowing I'm familiar with is on the machine. I bet John Duda knows.
Starting point is 01:08:51 He probably knows. He would love that you say that. He pretends to be into that kind of stuff. He would love you knowing that. But he's not actually. The Winklevii, he loves them. Or specifically, Armie Hammer playing the Winklevii. That sounds right.
Starting point is 01:09:03 He probably knows. Apparently, it's the same thing.ive. That sounds right. He probably knows. Apparently, it's the same thing. Okay. Okay. That's cool. Rowers sit facing the rear of the boat and wield an oar that pivots in an oar lock.
Starting point is 01:09:13 Boats are called shells. Rowers either skull or sweep. The rowing team is called a crew. So there you go. Dylan, you should do that, dude. You love facing the rear. Jeez. What's your deal, man? You're smiling right now you like it wow dude you love looking back at it
Starting point is 01:09:31 it's a great workout i don't look back at it man it's a really good workout i mean maybe mainly for your for your jaw what what um yeah no it's really good for your upper What? What? Yeah, no, it's really good for your upper back and your legs. Oh, rowing. Are you talking about? Yeah, facing the rear. Dude, he just hit you with the crickets. It was scary. I didn't know what to say to you.
Starting point is 01:09:59 People. Dude, you got the crickets. You just punched the cricket button. I think you're going to hear a lot from people. Twitter. I am? What did I hear a lot from people on Twitter. I am? What did I miss? Did I miss something there?
Starting point is 01:10:09 No, you didn't miss anything. Did you lob one in that I just totally whiffed on? What happened? I don't know. It's hard to say. Time will tell. Or did I put my foot in my mouth unknowingly? No, you did not.
Starting point is 01:10:21 Okay. Man. It was an ass-eating joke. Yeah. That's why your jaw would be hurting. Oh, not. Okay. Man. It was an ass-eating joke. Yeah. That's why your jaw would be hurting. Oh, okay. Okay. Dirty.
Starting point is 01:10:31 Come on, man. Dirty dog. I know some people that like to put your foot in their mouth. Hit the rim shot. Like what Dylan's doing. See, I don't know if we have one of those, do we? Oh, I thought we got rid of that one. I thought we had a rim shot.
Starting point is 01:10:44 What's a rim shot? Is that what you. I thought we had a rim shot. What's a rim shot? Is that what you call it? That's a rim shot. It is. We can't follow up an ass-eating joke with a rim shot. That's why he said it, though. Oh, okay. But that is what that is.
Starting point is 01:10:58 Oh, that's the mail-in. That's the mail-in theme song. You should play that anytime Dylan makes a real hot point. Like, it says something, just drops. Like, Dylan drops the mic. That's his mic drop theme. It's like, oh, here comes Dylan. I need to get a better hold on these buttons
Starting point is 01:11:13 because I don't want to be like the Micah of the buttons where I just don't know what anything is. I know you can label them. My God, that's Dylan music. Not on here. Why not? Just put the little label maker. Dude, I posted a photo, and people started Just put the little by a label maker. Dude,
Starting point is 01:11:25 I posted a photo and people started calling me out for keeping a label maker next to my bed. It's not a label maker. It's a TV remote. Why does it look... Why would I have a label maker
Starting point is 01:11:36 next to my bed? It does seem like something you would have. You're a big label guy. I don't know. From hell or high water, Roger Dorn is in the building. My God.
Starting point is 01:11:45 People say that sounds like porn music, and it kind of does, but it's a wrestling intro beat. Yeah. That's why you're doing that. Well, just for music in general, for you, yeah. I could see you coming out to that. Kind of throw your hands up, turn around, look at the crowd, talk to them a little bit, talk a little shit, spit your gum out.
Starting point is 01:12:04 Hell yeah. I've never seen anything like it. By God, he split them in half. Roger Dorn, he has killed him. If anyone comes at me for trying, or for like messing up these buttons, I just have one thing and one thing only to say. So forget about it, Kurt. Wait till the mail-in today.
Starting point is 01:12:26 If you want some button mistakes. Oh, shit. Yeah, Dave will be on the board today. Who knows what he's doing. I can't wait. It's going to be electric. I'm going to have to really... I'm going to sit on my hands during that one.
Starting point is 01:12:34 It's going to be electric. Can't wait for that one. Should we do this weekend in fun? Oh, yeah. Is it time already? Yeah. Before we do, as always, check out Eisenhower's on Rainy Street in Austin, Texas.
Starting point is 01:12:46 Not only do they sponsor this segment, they pretty much sponsor fun in general. Yeah. They just unleashed a bunch of new drinks and their drink menus. Have we confirmed whether or not the El Dave is going to be there, Dave? We're working some back channels.
Starting point is 01:13:00 They've got the new summer drinks. I said maybe some El Daves for the lads. And if you are a Bachelorette fan, they do their watch parties on Monday nights. Dylan, you've been going to those. How's it? I haven't been yet, Dave. I might make one soon, but I have not yet been.
Starting point is 01:13:16 What? Okay. You said, you told me it was a target-rich environment. And I told you that's not appropriate. Yeah, you told us the other day that you've been hanging out with a lot of bachelorettes on Rainy Street. So by that, you mean that you've been going to this thing, right? Y'all trying to get me in trouble again, man. I don't do any of that, man.
Starting point is 01:13:35 But if you are in a bachelor or bachelorette party, you can't really find a place that's better to cure your hangover or end your night at than Eisenhower's. Make it happen. Dylan, start us off. I have not one thing on the books for this weekend. I'm so excited. These are my favorite weekends,
Starting point is 01:13:51 not doing a damn thing. So who knows where it's going to take me? I would like to get a swim off at Barton Springs at some point. You're looking at me. I'm not going to be here. Not to spoil it. You're going to have to go early. Okay.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Y'all both just totally shit on this idea. No, I know. Dude, I've been wanting to go. I think I'm going Friday morning, actually. It's what? Yeah. A lot more on that later. So, yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:12 That's what I have. I have nothing. You have to tell us more. No, I'm intrigued. Oh, I'm going to Barton Springs. Get a little polar bear in? Yeah. Dylan told me he won't even get in the water. It's so cold. He said it's colder than a lake. Two of the things that Dylan and I have gone at each other. It's so cold. He said it's colder than a lake. Two of the things that Dylan and I have gone at each other hardest about on this podcast.
Starting point is 01:14:29 He said it's colder than Lake Michigan. Since we started this podcast, the two things that have really gotten you and I to go at each other have been the water temperature. And weather patterns. Yeah. That's all we care about at this point. Weather and food are just two things that you and I just don't see eye to eye on. No. We'll get there.
Starting point is 01:14:46 We'll get there someday. Do you have anything else, Dylan? No. I'll be with the homie on Sunday. We have no plans either. We'll probably go swimming. That boy loves to swim. Do you want to speak to
Starting point is 01:14:58 your favorite bar slash restaurant getting shut down? Not your favorite. Darcy's Donkey? Something that we held near and dear to our hearts. Oh, what a drag, man. Look, we even talked about how we were worried about it because it...
Starting point is 01:15:12 Staying in business, that is, because it just didn't fill up with people. I don't know why. They used to put out Instagrams that said, like, we're closed tonight for a private party. And I used to send them to Dylan and be like, dude, they're doing well. Like, people are renting it out.
Starting point is 01:15:24 It's a great location. They have a good beer selection there. Had. Had. It's an Irish-style pub. Was. Was. They served meat pies.
Starting point is 01:15:37 We're going to miss you, Dylan. They made a bomb-ass meat pie. Oh, Dylan. We miss you. It's a shame. And that little patio scene. It's sad. Shouts to Darcy's donkey, man. Dude, the chillest I've ever been
Starting point is 01:15:48 was when I went there with Sally one night. We just wanted a meat pie and some food. Some pints for the lads and the lassies. And I look up and they're playing
Starting point is 01:15:57 World Cup skiing on the TV and it's like raining outside. I was like, dude, this is peak chill in here. There's the World Cup sport. Hey, which shore are you at Lake Michigan? People don't really call it that. Okay.
Starting point is 01:16:11 Is it like, I'm looking at water temps. It looks like Lake Michigan's a little bit. So Chicago shore. This is for today. 65 degrees. Which is about five or probably between five and 10 degrees cooler than Barton Springs. Little Traverse Bay is the bay that Harbor Springs resides on. I think it's the deepest bay in Lake Michigan, if I'm not mistaken.
Starting point is 01:16:38 Do y'all take a dip in the summertime, or is it too cold? So this time of year, June, it's the coldest because it was frozen like two months ago. Sure. So the best possible time to take a swim for me is September. Indian summer, baby. And so you go and like the water's already been warming up for the entire summer. And then September hits and it's like perfect
Starting point is 01:17:00 when it's a nice day outside. That being said, August is fine. June, you're mostly jumping in, getting out. Yeah, 65 is pretty cold. July, you're jumping in and you're chilling. You're forcing the issue because you're like, no, I'm here to chill. I'm not here to jump out of the water.
Starting point is 01:17:17 August, you're hanging out. September, you're hanging out. October, it's done. I need to take a dip soon. Maybe I'll just go to my pool tonight. Barton Springs stays the same temp year-round. Yeah. Because it's, you know, spring fed.
Starting point is 01:17:31 Yeah, that's true. Yeah. What are you doing this weekend, Dave? Like I mentioned, might do a little Barton Springs trip. Sorry for the yawn. Yeah. You know, I don't have a ton planned. And as you all know, that's exciting.
Starting point is 01:17:49 Good stuff, Dave. I'm sure it'll end up. Are you doing a brisket? Sunday's a brisket day. I'm going to have to look up some recipes. How much does a brisket cost? Shout out to the dude who hit me with his wing recipe. I screenshotted it.
Starting point is 01:18:01 I might try that. I don't know. A good brisket's what? Between $20 and $30? Nah, it's not that much. Really? If you go to Central Market or something. I think it's close to $1 a pound. Maybe a little bit more.
Starting point is 01:18:15 For a brisket? Seriously? I haven't bought a brisket in a long time. I might be making that up. I think it's closer to $1 a pound. Maybe it's cheap. It could be between $1.50 a pound. I plan on spending between $20 and1.50 a pound. All right. I plan on spending between $20 and $25
Starting point is 01:18:28 on a nice brisket. I'm going to get a really good one because I don't want to fuck it up. Or if I want to fuck it up, I want it to be because I did, not because it's a bad cut of meat.
Starting point is 01:18:36 The best briskets are at Costco. Is that right? Yeah. I feel like you're going to get... I feel like some Texas hard-o is going to come at you for that and be like,
Starting point is 01:18:45 no, there's just like low key butcher shop on bubble bar. You can come square up with me if he wants to. I know this is a trash place by meat and I'm well aware of that, but it was the first thing that came up. Walmart is selling their briskets for two 26 a pound. Okay. I was wrong then.
Starting point is 01:18:58 It happens. HEBs got them for about 25 bucks. Way cheaper than I thought they were going to be. I thought you were going to say like a good one was like 60 bucks or something like that. If you're Brooks Koepka and you want a Wagyu, it's like 200 bucks. I believe you can get a prime brisket,
Starting point is 01:19:14 but a brisket's not a great cut of meat. Yeah. I don't even know that you need, maybe it makes a difference. I made my first ever pork chop the other day. Bone in? No, no, no. No, I'm sorry. Pork tenderloin, not pork chop. other day bone in no no no i'm sorry pork tenderloin not pork chop i don't know this whole chicken thing that i i brought up on a previous episode it's really been kind of
Starting point is 01:19:32 sticking with me woody breast or something i call it it's it's really messing with me i can't eat chicken that much anymore it's freaking me out So I had to transition to something that I thought was similar. Your boy's been getting pork tenderloin off. Love it. Underrated. I do enjoy a pork tendy. Are you done with your weekend, Dave? Yeah, that's about it. Something will pop up. I'm sure I'll get out there.
Starting point is 01:19:57 I'll run into some lads and lassies. I've got an interesting weekend coming up. Friday, we've got a group dinner with Sally's family, celebrating numerous birthdays and other milestones, anniversaries, a lot of stuff. Then Friday night after the dinner, I have to drive to Horseshoe Bay for a wedding. I will not be doing anything with the wedding party that night. We're not going to the rehearsal dinner, obviously, since we're going to a group dinner.
Starting point is 01:20:24 But then I'm waking up first thing in the morning and I'm going to the pool. Horseshoe Bay pool, it's different. So I plan on doing that all day. The water temperature in that pool? 69 degrees. 69 degrees. I'm a little worried.
Starting point is 01:20:37 I'm putting myself in danger on Saturday of being the guy who gets not only sunburned at the pool that day, but also drinks too much at the pool that day. We have no obligations with this wedding besides showing up and having a good time that's that's the best i'm a little worried that i'm gonna have like a two like two miami vices to cure my hangover on saturday morning then all of a sudden be hammered oh you gotta be careful yeah the crash from those is epic so then we we got the wedding Saturday night, Sunday. Just driving Sally to the airport getting my chill on.
Starting point is 01:21:08 Okay. Alright. Yeah. That's all I got. I think it's going to be a really solid weekend. I can't wait to sweat through my suit and my shirt. Yeah, that'll be fun, man. At the wedding, that'll be fun. That'll be good.
Starting point is 01:21:26 I've only been to one other wedding at Horseshoe Bay. It was all outdoors. It was very hot. I'm a little worried that if this is in the same place, it's going to be even hotter. It's going to be a hot one. Might be able to catch me inside watching some kind of Women's World Cup replay at the bar or something.
Starting point is 01:21:41 Who do they got next? Sweden. We got Sweden. I don't know when. It might be today. Maybe tomorrow. I'm watching that one. Eh. It's the first test for the U.S. Women's National Team. But we'll see.
Starting point is 01:21:56 Nah. When is it? What's going on? I thought it was tomorrow. I could be off on that. I don't know. I'll say this. They're not making it easy to see the scores from this.
Starting point is 01:22:08 If it is tomorrow, which I think it is. Yep, tomorrow at 2. I say we get the lads together. Tomorrow's Thursday? Mm-hmm. I'll go get a pint. Let's pint up. We can't go to Darcy's, which would have been our trademark soccer place.
Starting point is 01:22:24 So I guess we have to go to Eisenhower's. That works for me. It's a very solid alternative. It's just a little further. I like it. I think we can do it. All right. We got anything else today?
Starting point is 01:22:35 Follow Wash Media on Instagram. Oh, yeah. Dave got a gram off yesterday. It was squad. It was intern Bill. What's up with intern Bill? We got to get him in the stew again. Let's get him in.
Starting point is 01:22:51 Should we get out of here? Let's get out of here. Love you. Bye.
