Starting point is 00:00:00 all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from the lodge my name is will to freeze to my right dave ruff so at the risk of dishing out more free ads for this company that makes the metrics strap that we are both wearing yeah don't say the name i'm not until they drop it um the bag that is i just noticed that you can create a performance schedule like in the sleep coach function and you can either do get by which is a minimum amount of sleep then there's perform and there's peak you gotta peak though i am performing today per the results from last night look i need you to peak when you're in here david it's hard to take this
Starting point is 00:00:50 seriously it's hard to speak every day peek in the stew that's all i'm asking well you you peaked in high school wow some people say i haven't peaked yet they called you the peaky color blinder i'm still ascending according to most people i went to twin peaks over the weekend i've got a great menu like peaky color Blinder should have gotten a little more respect on that. I kind of barely heard that when In-N-Out. Tommy!
Starting point is 00:01:10 That's pretty good. Tommy, your HRV is low, Tommy! How's your recovery today, David? Not good. Yeah, we can tell. Dylan, you don't even have one. You don't have a recovery, dude? Dylan lives in 2016.
Starting point is 00:01:24 My Apple Watch doesn't tell me about recovery. Dude, that's sick. Hold on. I got to send a text on my Apple Watch. Cool, dude. Be boppo. Have fun checking your time on your watch, nerd. I mean, it does more than just tell time.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Yeah. Dave and I don't do that because we don't need to tell time, dude. People need to start worrying if Dave and I know what time it is. When you're dick deep in the metrics like Will and I, you don't need time. Imagine getting a text and having to pull out your phone. Like, oh, who texted me? Boom, it's right here. Imagine.
Starting point is 00:01:52 If I'm opening your text, you better be shaking in your boots on the other side of that phone. You don't want me texting you back. I'm doing the world a favor. I feel like you're pretty nice. I'm going to dial back. I'm going to apologize. Dick deep in the metrics is a little aggressive for a Monday morning. I apologize.
Starting point is 00:02:06 It's fair. It's fair. I actually thought that when you said it. Oh, you said dig deep. I thought you said dig deep. I don't know. Which made sense, too, and it was less profane than dig deep. Right.
Starting point is 00:02:16 I was peaking yesterday. About to peak. I had such a good recovery last night that I can peak again today if I feel like it. See, I won't be peaking today. I think I'm peaking. I feel like I'm about to peak. Mid-pod. I'll let y'all know if it happens.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Dylan, you peak early in the pods because when was it the other day? Was it last week, like the last 15 minutes of pod? Dylan didn't say a word. An hour five into pods, I just... You're not an endurance boy. You can't get in the deep water. You're a guy, you need to win it in the first two rounds. Otherwise, I just, you know. You're not an endurance bull. You're not good for, you can't get in the deep water. You're a guy, you need to win it in the first two rounds.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Otherwise, like, you're just gassed. Should we do Dylan's quarterly review live on the pod? I've been better. It's when we have exhausted all conversations. We're just like pulling, like grasping. Dude, shut up. We're not grasping. We're like grasping at straws.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Sometimes we do. That's what I'm like, guys, it's time. We don't grasp. Time to call it. I don't know. Shut up, dude. Cool, I just got an email from the accountants. We don't grass. Time to call it. I don't know. Shut up, dude. Cool. I just got an email from the accountants.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Oh, nice. I owe money. Nice. Nice. Yeah, as someone who hasn't done their taxes yet, I should probably start doing that. I have a month. How much? Just kidding.
Starting point is 00:03:17 I probably will owe two. We all will. I don't know. I don't even want to think about it. I'm just going to see if maybe they'll forget about me with the tax stuff. That'd be tight. That'd be tight. I kind of think about it. Because of COVID. With so many they'll forget about me with the tax stuff that'd be tight that'd be tight i kind of think it's covid with so many people around it seems like the government would just like let some of us like fall yeah it'd be time if they're like
Starting point is 00:03:30 yeah i just don't pay them this year it's not a big deal i have all my tax stuff together i just don't have like two things and it's really holding me back i hate i just hate it probably gonna get that same email dave you guys want Dave. You guys want some programming notes? Yeah. Tomorrow, the stream room, Out Cold. Ever heard of it? Damn fine movie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:53 It'll be live on Patreon. Patreon.com slash circling back podcast. We'll be breaking down every single part of that movie. Do we know where that's streaming right now? I don't. I just go to Prime for everything. Yeah, I apologize if you guys have to rent this one instead of just hopping on your friend's HBO Go password,
Starting point is 00:04:08 but that's just how it is now. They probably own it on DVD. Was American Pie on HBO? Yeah. Fuck. I bought it. And I have HBO. I'm a dumbass.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Yeah, you're dumb. You're stupid. The whole streaming thing, it's still... I'm not quite up to speed on how everything works. Here, let's test something. It's an age thing.
Starting point is 00:04:26 I downloaded an app the other day. It's an age thing. Was it Just Watch? Yeah. I saw it in the Discord when I was creeping. Yeah, I heard good things. And I was like, this seems like a really good idea. Isn't there a song like that, Just Watch?
Starting point is 00:04:36 That's Lady Gaga. You're thinking of Just Dance. No, not that one. Just Dance. You are a little monster. Just Watch. Will you be okay? Unfortunately, for free streaming. Don't believe me, Just Watch. We you be okay? Unfortunately, for free streaming.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Don't believe me, just watch. We're screwed. But it's $2.99 on Amazon. Bruno Mars. Don't believe me. That's probably not it. Well, it's giving us valuable information. It's $2.99 on Amazon.
Starting point is 00:04:56 It's on everything. That's great information. Yeah, if you want to get it on Google Play, Apple's $2.99 as well. YouTube, $2.99. Sorry, we're asking you to drop the bag for Patreon. We apologize, but you're going to have to drop the bag. That $3 I spent on American Pie, just straight to Bezos' pocket, man. I didn't need to do that.
Starting point is 00:05:12 You might as well just Venmo'd him. Ridiculous. How does Amazon not come out with a cash app type deal, a Venmo type? That's a good question. I mean, he probably knows better than I do. Maybe they're just tired of crushing other industry. Maybe he's never going to buy one. That's a good point.
Starting point is 00:05:32 They're just an absolute powerhouse. Who owns Venmo? Is Venmo, do they ever sell out? Like, I don't know the history of Venmo. I have to think they're doing well. Dude, Mr. Venmo. It's owned by PayPal. Vinny Venmo?
Starting point is 00:05:42 Yeah. Hey! Complete the transaction! Big time Tommy here. That's so stupid. How's big time Tommy doing? Keep it OS. Take it ease.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Another programming note. If you hear that my microphone is no longer squeaking, it's because WD-40 just solved everything. Wow. You know what WD stands for? Will to freeze. Oh. Yeah. I was going to say something else final thing happy hour live wednesdays we're giving away an air fryer again this week send your stuff in just tweet it at us dm us whatever i almost think tweeting it at us is the best way to do it i think i think the dms get lost on brett
Starting point is 00:06:21 sometimes when he's when he's like getting all the info i'm a little worried about that okay i got people dming me their meals and stuff i'm like dude you're barking up the wrong tree yeah stop i'm merely a judge other than that we're good you know my dumb ass did this weekend i don't i ordered some stuff online and i paid full price and i'm not happy about it oh no i'm excited to get the stuff in the mail because getting stuff in the mail is like the most exciting thing in the world.

I know I talked like I was going to. You talked a big game. I was supposed to, but things didn't happen, so I didn't play golf.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Classic. Such a tool. It's so classic when tee times fall through. I know, but... I can't believe a tee time that involved Dylan fell through. That's crazy. I had a great weekend, though. What'd you do? We're asking. My sister and brother-in--law came through hung out at the crib with the homie we had a big time weekend with big time tommy with big time tommy dickities had a lot of fun man we uh we ordered in sushi from where how did that travel well we went picked it up it was okay a local
Starting point is 00:09:22 very very close to us It was good Okay It was really good I also did take out sushi this weekend No We should have linked and builded You probably did like Uchiko You fucking
Starting point is 00:09:31 No Okay You what? No we regret We regretted getting it Really? Yeah we were like Yeah we probably shouldn't have spent that much money
Starting point is 00:09:40 You know it's To go sushi Yeah Sushi's about atmosphere as well Yeah it's about getting drunk on, like, sake and stuff. I love sushi, dog. Like, I love it. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:09:51 But you've got a bunch of cream cheese rolls and shit. I don't... Come on, man. I don't do cream cheese. And that's pretty much it. I did sprints yesterday. My knees are hurting. My ankle's a little bit sore as well.
Starting point is 00:10:01 You might be a little tight in the quad. Yeah, I'm... I want to check that. Also, I'm just 36 and I don't sprint anymore. Did you warm up? I was jogging for a while. I went on a mile, mile and a half flat run. I walked some miles yesterday, Dave.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I went on a jog and I brought it down to a walk and then I sprinted. A little interval training, if you will. I've been doing that. You can probably tell, though. It was great, but I'm paying for it. It's weird because they're like, dude, you shouldn't be sprinting. If you're going to add 100 pounds, 110 pounds to your frame, you should not be doing interval training.
Starting point is 00:10:33 I'm just like, no, I'm going to buck the trend. If you're going to be moving offensive guards off the line, you've got to go more sprinting. They're actually asking that I do no activity, just eat. Syrup and peanut butter sandwiches. Really good. Dave does a four-point stance. I can't remember the last time I sprinted.
Starting point is 00:10:53 That's the thing. There's no need to sprint anymore. No one's sprinting. Stop. If I'm sprinting, something's gone very, very wrong. Okay, but on a bike, there's probably time. I know it's not the same. I've sold out on the Peloton. You can sprint on a bike there's try time you do i know it's not i've sold out i've sold out on the peloton that's like you can sprint on a bike i know it's maybe called something different but i mean i've sold out on that but i haven't actually fully sprinted on
Starting point is 00:11:13 feet on the ground it don't start once you're on the bike you're good low impact better for i definitely haven't done it since i moved to austin sprinting is better than just running like long distance if something's going like terribly wrong in the distance i'll do like the fake jog to it and hope that someone gets there before me oh no i'm coming that's you in uh that's you in war zone yeah oh we'll do need help to me it's hot it's hot and you're just like oh hold on i'm coming or shielding up i don't want to talk about war zone um we're going to though we'll talk about it later. I played golf at 7-11 Friday morning with Dan with the Jackhammer. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:50 And enjoyed it. It was beautiful weather. It was very dry, so it was about 67 degrees when we teed off. Ooh, big. Perfect. It was fantastic. I was back home by like 1130. Played pretty quick.
Starting point is 00:12:05 We got paired up with a guy named Dave and a guy named Randy. True story. Wow. Went 48 on the front. Not good. 39 on the back. Great. Felt good.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Thought I was going to take that into yesterday's round and build on it. And I did build on it up until the first green. Played a very significantly nicer course, Lake Cliff, and first tee shot, piped it, pitching wedge to about 15 feet, and four jacked. Yeah, that'll happen. Opening double with the four putt, went full speed on him. And, yeah, it didn't go well from there.
Starting point is 00:12:42 It was just kind of a roller coaster. Why do you have to do speed like that? We'll get to that. Yesterday was an emotional day for me, watching golf and whatnot. I'm going to talk to you about golf real quick because I know Dylan's tee times will fall through. Dave, I need you to be on me for the next month about playing golf with you. What about me, dude?
Starting point is 00:13:05 You're going to fall through. You're pretty flaky. You're the golf flake. I've got tee time scheduled for late July, early August in Harbor Springs, Michigan. And if I go up there and botch this, I'm going to be really upset with myself. You're going to botch it. You just want to get some reps in is what you're saying. Let's play Friday.
Starting point is 00:13:18 I've got the course knowledge. I can't play Friday. Well, I can play in the morning. Klein's coming to town, right? Oh, yeah. Dude, it's June. I don't play golf in the afternoon. I know, but I was going play Friday. Or I can play in the morning. Klein's coming to town, right? Oh, yeah. Dude, it's June. I don't play golf in the afternoon. I know, but I was going to say, I have a pool slot on Friday from 2 to 4,
Starting point is 00:13:31 so I can't give that up. That'll be perfect. Get home by 1. You're not wrong. Get a little snack. Go to the pool. A little snack. I think Sally might be coming with me.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Just bring Dave there if you want to bring a snack. Dave's turned into a big snack though after all his peanut butter sandwich He's a full ass meal Can you imagine if I added 100 pounds to my frame What would that even look like Yeah muscle but like Bryson level max
Starting point is 00:13:56 Like John Gruden's son Deuce How tall is Bryson He's at least 6 I think he's 6'2 Would you be similar if he didn't put on all that weight? Imagine Dylan with all that weight. My frame can't
Starting point is 00:14:11 handle weight like that. I think it can. It can't, dude. I'm telling you. I mean, you do have kind of a weak pelvis, but... I got these little legs, man. I have weak shoulders and small legs. No one cares about your shoulders and legs. Can you confront the allegations that you have a weak pelvis?
Starting point is 00:14:27 I don't even know what a weak pelvis means. Like, what does that mean? You know what it means. A pelvis, it does what it's supposed to do. You know what I'm saying? Support your lower torso? Exactly. Exactly, Dave.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Thank you. Dude. I had a lame, not a lame weekend. I've never done less than what I did on Saturday during quarantine. It kind of felt like I should be out doing something, but I had no offers out there. I got a total of like zero texts from anybody on Saturday. I thought you were going to the family pool. We went on Sunday to that.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Oh, I wish we would have... So... I didn't know you were done. I had known we would have had something for you. I didn't want to step out, step out, but I wanted to do something. I needed an activity. I don't mean go to the club when I say step out. I just mean, like, leave the house, literally stepping out.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Mike and I have this thing where we'll get together Friday night, and then we'll stay up until 1 in the morning drinking, and then we'll feel terrible on Saturday, and then I just won't do anything all Saturday. Play with your dinghy. Yeah. So we got to go sushi. It stunk.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Where'd you get it from? I don't want to out them, because I feel like it would have been good if we were at heb it was raw wasn't it no what raw did you dude did you guys see that video that duty and the chicken that was a good video that's so funny oh man why'd he do that i don't know but i could see like that video could happen to any group of friends and it's like they snatched it away like a like a dog was you know put a marble in his mouth or something yeah like don't do that it was great give me that yeah i saw a number of of uh twitter accounts trying to capitalize on that video just a different version of the dog caption yeah yeah i saw i saw the first one i saw was i think from the original tweet yeah and then i saw a bunch of other accounts where i was like okay so you're just taking the idea
Starting point is 00:16:04 from that tweet and tweeting the the same exact same video yeah yeah i saw like four different ones i was like oh man i mean don't get me wrong i i could see how they got there that's so funny and he was like he like didn't shouldn't eat raw chicken like no it's mine shouldn't eat raw chicken shouldn't i think a dog stomach can handle it though actually yeah there's a there's a school of thought that you should feed your dog nothing but raw foods. Well, okay. Tell me this. If I ate half of a raw chicken breast...
Starting point is 00:16:33 Yes. You would get very sick. Automatically? Like, no questions asked getting sick? Or is it only if there's bacteria and stuff? I think it's... Like, the likelihood is obviously incredibly high. I don't think...
Starting point is 00:16:43 Okay, this... I'm going to get backed out of the paint for this, but I feel like not all raw chicken has salmonella, but it's very likely that it does. That's how I feel about this. It's like you could eat a raw steak, and I think it's less likely that it has, what is it, E. coli? Yeah. Walmart just recalled 42,000 pounds of raw beef because it had e coli that's a lot of beef 42 000 apparently i wronged walmart on the podcast last time we talked about the beef at walmart
Starting point is 00:17:12 oh is it back is it fire i was told i was told by somebody that like maybe my my concerns over the ground beef and stuff might be legit just because i think their ground beef looks different than other places ground beef the way that it's like displayed but I was told that you can get high quality cuts there so I apologize to the slander that I put this person's last name Walton might have been might have been this person happened to be from Bentonville hard to sack wow okay okay so yeah I'm kind of bummed out I thought you were going to be in georgetown so i didn't text you but we uh we did we caught a little uh late afternoon early dinner on a patio not really a patio on the street i saw that dude will if i'm being honest like sometimes i'll think like
Starting point is 00:17:56 i want to hang out and like maybe i should hit up will but then i in my head i'm like you know he won't leave the house right now you don't want to get like i don't the thing is i was in that mood where like i wanted to leave the house just to go do, like, a task. Like, just to go knock something out. There's just nothing to do. Yeah. You should have gone treasure hunting. I did ask you to go to the park the other day.
Starting point is 00:18:14 I know, but I was busy. You were busy. I was busy, man. I'm sorry. Me and Stella just went wild at the park. It's interesting because nobody asked me to go to the park. You were playing golf, dummy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:22 He's right. That's why I didn't ask you. He's absolutely right. Can we talk about this new Bachelor? Yeah. This was big news. Matt James, right? That's his name?
Starting point is 00:18:32 Who? Dude, I was going to do that joke too, man. Come on. Not doing that. Dude, I was very happy when I saw this news on Friday. It was Friday morning, right? Sure. I think it was Friday morning that it all came out because i was like oh this is good
Starting point is 00:18:45 this is good news i'm more excited like i wasn't not excited for claire's season but i didn't i wasn't pumped about it after i saw the cast i don't know how you you cast your oldest ever bachelorette and then not cast like a bunch of dudes and they're like mid to upper 30s hey so is that see is is Claire's season still happening? What I saw from Chris Harrison is that her season will go on. Can I read the statement that Chris Harrison posted? Matt James was signed on to do her show. Oh, he was?
Starting point is 00:19:14 Yeah. Because he's Tyler, she's best friend. He was going to be on The Bachelorette. Wow. That's where they found him. That's how they discovered him. So Chris Harrison posted on three days ago, so Friday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:25 We are excited. This is from the producers, the executive producers, Flex. We are excited to move forward with both Matt James as the new Bachelor and Claire Crawley as our next Bachelorette. We acknowledge our responsibility for the lack of representation of people of color on our franchise and pledge to make significant changes to address this issue. Moving forward, we are taking positive steps to expand diversity in our cast and our staff, and most importantly, in the relationships that we show on television.
Starting point is 00:19:51 We can and will do better to reflect the world around us and show all of its beautiful love stories. That's a good statement. Okay. Rachel Lindsay is not happy about this I was looking into it a little bit It's not that she's not happy But she's saying it's not enough
Starting point is 00:20:10 She said it's the equivalent of posting The black square on your Instagram Which is fine I'm paraphrasing here But it's fine She's saying that The Bachelor As a whole, the franchise Has a systemic racial problem.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Oh. And I don't know if that's true or not. I mean, obviously it's true if they're just now having their first black male lead. I don't know if there's stuff behind the scenes, but if you just look at the pure numbers behind it, there's clearly a lack of diversity in the show. And she might be referring to maybe the the people uh behind the scenes producers and i think chris alluded to that producers people in production which is the exact same thing i just said it differently
Starting point is 00:20:56 so i don't know yeah it's like well there are a lot of people in chris harrison's comments and like i don't want to come off as i'm defending chris harrison because i i'm really not but i did think the people saying that like oh this is a knee-jerk reaction this is whatever would you rather have a knee-jerk reaction or no reaction at all right and so i just it was the proper knee-jerk reaction if it wasn't knee-jerk yes like you can only do so much and i i just – I think that while I don't have, like, that much faith that The Bachelor is all of a sudden going to be this, like, super mega diverse entity, like, at least they're trying to take a step in the right direction and not just stay in their own world. Yeah, why would people have a problem with that? Like, do people want more Luke P.? There's people who are – I think people who don't really watch probably look at it like, oh, too little, too late.
Starting point is 00:21:46 I don't disagree. If someone said that, I'm not going to blame them for being like, you know what? I'm done with you guys. It's too little, too late. That makes sense. I was looking at some of the correct, taking corrective measures. Right. That deserves credit.
Starting point is 00:22:01 I think. To some degree. Rachel, I saw her quote when Peter was announced, and I actually kind of agree. She was like, Peter seems like a really nice guy, but she's like, we've seen Peters for like 26 seasons, and it's boring. And I kind of felt the same way when Peter was announced.
Starting point is 00:22:19 I think we all did. Yeah, no one wanted Peter. No. Just a vanilla white guy. No, he did give us some electricity let's go do you remember what colton told us about how they casted the bachelor his season yeah they offered him all the exact same contract and he signed it like i i'm sure mike was in the mix but we i don't think we necessarily know how they came for this season no for the season when
Starting point is 00:22:41 peter was the bachelor because Mike, they were kind of – I don't want to say that they were – what's the word? Not breeding him for it, but kind of – they're getting him ready for it. They're priming him for the position of Bachelor. And he went on – I remember he went on –
Starting point is 00:23:01 Grooming him. Yeah, they were grooming him. And he went on what's it called? Grooming him. Yeah, they were grooming him. And he went on Paradise. And he didn't really do himself any favors on Paradise, I feel like. He kind of like, he didn't make himself a more engaging person on the cast. And I feel like it hurt him, even though he should have been The Bachelor the entire time. They should have never even sent him to Paradise. And just immediately start taping The Bachelor with him.
Starting point is 00:23:22 His stonk was a little down after that. Yeah, his stonk took a hit. and that's what now we like to see. He seemed disinterested. Well, he was, yeah, it was just, it was,
Starting point is 00:23:30 he probably was like, just give me the bachelor slot. Like I earned this. Everyone loves me. I gotta be completely transparent. I don't know much about Matt James. I know he's buddies with Tyler C, but has he appeared in, he's not a part of anything thus far.
Starting point is 00:23:49 He's completely new to this universe. Apparently his TikTok is fire. He's a handsome fella. What does he do for a living? How does he make an honest living in this world? I don't know. So he was originally cast for Claire's season, which you already said. He – yeah, this article that I'm reading about him just stinks.
Starting point is 00:24:08 It says he used to play professional football. He played for Wake Forest in college and had a brief stint as a wide receiver in the NFL based on the fact that they're not really saying a name in this column. Oh, he was in camp for like the Saints or something. Yeah. Where did he play his – Wake Forest, did you say? Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Shouts to Wake Forest. Honestly, underrated mascot and whole vibe. I don't know if there's – I don't know what Demon Deacon refers to. I don't know if that's going to get canceled. I don't think anybody really does, Dave. It's a deacon that is also a demon, which is quite the juxtaposition. Right, right. Do you guys want to know seven things that we should know about the new star of The Bachelor?
Starting point is 00:24:50 Yeah. Do you guys want to just kind of give me some time here? Oh, he's a real estate broker. Here we go. Oh, real estate professional in the building. Yeah, I've seen him out there. New York City guy. Dude, he's probably so much better at closing deals than Dylan is. Dude, come've seen him out there. New York City guy. Dude, he's probably
Starting point is 00:25:05 so much better at closing deals than Dylan is. Dude, come on. You have to think so. There's no way. He played football, as you touched on. Oh, he loves to give back
Starting point is 00:25:15 and help kids. Huge. I hate giving back and helping kids. Big kid guy. When I see a kid that needs help, I'm like, dude, loser. You would help the homie
Starting point is 00:25:22 if you needed it. The homie's not a kid. He's got enough help. He's a kid. No. He's got enough help. He's a kid. No. He's friends with Tyler Cameron. Knew that. He hasn't appeared on any other Bachelor shows.
Starting point is 00:25:32 This isn't a very good article. He was supposed to. All these articles are reaching. They're just trying to get the SEO. Yeah, and it worked. Yeah. People got me. I clicked it, and I now have a virus because there's 17 videos playing.
Starting point is 00:25:44 So, cool. So, they're still going on with Claire's season, but then they don't. I don't think and I now have a virus because there's 17 videos playing. So, cool. So, they're still going on with Claire's season, but then they don't – I don't think there's a schedule out yet. So, we don't know what's going on. The worst part about this coronavirus thing in terms of the Bachelors is that we're not getting Paradise. Dude, you know what would be the worst? If, like, they did, like, an altered schedule like all the leagues are doing
Starting point is 00:26:03 and, like, they did a Monday-T, just Bachelor Monday, Bachelorette Tuesday, just back-to-back, and we were just four hours a week just having it be dialed. I'd be okay with it. No. Oh, it'd be pain. That'd be too much. I'd be okay with it. I mean, you're getting it over with.
Starting point is 00:26:18 I can't do four hours a week of that show. I can barely do two. No. Oh, and then the three-hour ones. I'm in at this point.'m i'm i'm the trash tv guy now like i i've watched so much love island that my brain is just clouded it's just murky pool water i finished season one of lost god i watched the king of staten island over the weekend i did too what'd you think you dropped the bag twenty dollars for that i dropped the bag it's twenty dollars twenty dollars to rent i thought about you not even thought about you over the weekend. I did too. What'd you think? You dropped a bag $20 for that thing? I dropped a bag. Me as well, yeah. It's $20?
Starting point is 00:26:46 $20 to rent. I thought about you. Not even to buy it. I thought about you when I pressed the rent button. You don't even own it? No. We matched that Dave button. How are they getting away with $20?
Starting point is 00:26:53 Because it's a new release that would have been in theaters for obvious reasons and it's just kind of under the guise that you're going to a movie night. Whatever. It's a cash grab. And they know Pete Davidson's like...
Starting point is 00:27:03 Pete Davidson is one of the most clickbaity celebrities there is at this point and i feel like his movies are going to be similar have you ever seen seen the uh kyle looney uh kyle mooney mooney not looney i used to have a buddy named looney sorry uh this is his real name great nickname where kyle mooney becomes pete davidson like he sees like how how cool Pete's becoming, and he just kind of becomes the Pete Davidson of SNL. No. It's a good bit. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:27:32 It's funny. Yeah, so I don't know. Anyway, I finished Lost. I finished first season. Lost is one step forward, two steps back every episode. Makes sense. In the first season, it was 25 episodes. Man.
Starting point is 00:27:44 It's too many episodes. That show will grab you from the beginning and then it just gets weirder and weirder. I don't mind the weirdness, but I do mind like all of the infighting
Starting point is 00:27:53 is just so unnecessary and frustrating. It's like, and it's like they're not listening to each other. Maybe it'll all pay off, but it's just like,
Starting point is 00:28:02 no, Sawyer, you suck. And Sawyer's like, hey man, I don't have the asthma inhaler. No, you do have it. No, I don't. Oh, he doesn't really have it. Let's torture him.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Let's cut his fingernails off. Like, what? Huh? Sorry, spoiler. That's my preview of Lost Season 2. Dylan, what's your rating on The King of Staten Island? I will give it a B. I'll give it a B.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Solid B. Okay. Not a plus or a minus. Just right in there. 85. It was good. That's fair. It was good.
Starting point is 00:28:35 That's fair. I didn't have like a, oh, wow, this is a sick movie moment. But it kept me engaged throughout. Yeah. You know? Yeah. I had higher hopes for it because all the reviews that I'd seen from people that I follow on Twitter were more raving reviews
Starting point is 00:28:52 than what I had after I finished it. I'm glad I saw it, but I'm not psyched. I mean, Sally paid $20 for it because her Apple TV is set up, so you've got it for free. Wow. Nice, dude. Big for me. But I didn't love it, but it was a good movie.
Starting point is 00:29:06 It would be a good movie to toss on when it's just on a Sunday afternoon when it's on TV. Can I tell you something? I don't think I'm going to drop 20 bucks for Pete Davidson Joint.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Don't. Don't. He actually does a great job in it. I don't mind him. He does a great job. Bill Burr does a great job as well. Bill Burr's in it? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Marissa Tomei is his mom. Marissa Tomei. Sorry. Once the Tomei. Sorry. Once the Tomei thing happened. She's one of my faves. Did you realize that the sister was Judd Apatow's daughter from all this? She's grown up. Yeah, and I'll say this.
Starting point is 00:29:35 She's all grownsed up? She's all grownsed up. I'll say this. Why is Judd Apatow putting her in every single movie he does? Because that's what he does. He's like Rogan on podcasts. He just puts his people on. She was the most distracting
Starting point is 00:29:48 person in it. I didn't think she was that good. And I'm like, you know what? Why are you putting Mae in here? What's it even about? It's about a guy whose dad died as a firefighter. And he grows up kind of like a... He's probably 23 or so. 24. He's lost in life.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Doesn't really have any direction. He lives in, get this, Staten Island. Who would have thought? He smokes a 23 or so. 24. 24, and he's lost in life. Doesn't really have any direction. He lives in, get this, Staten Island. Who would have thought? He smokes a lot of weed. You know, B. Davidson's dad died in 9-11. Right. He's made pretty much a career off of those shows. It was kind of an homage to him a little bit.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Dude, he's not afraid to go there. Okay. Well, you know, I'm interested. Oh, Tomei got you in. Even though Burr's stonk was down after his special, his stonk is back up after his Rogan, and I will give him a chance, especially tell me if Marissa Tomei,
Starting point is 00:30:41 just her performance in My Cousin Vinny is Oscar worthy. And that whole entire movie was Oscar worthy. That movie's great. One of the greatest comedies of all time. It's a great movie. And just, she is just a delight. Yeah. She was very beautiful to me.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Maybe we put that on the list. Stream room list. That is underrated. I loved her. I do want to see where the, until the devil knows she's dead. She is very beautiful Tome Tome Tome
Starting point is 00:31:08 Hey Is big time Tommy Is big time Tommy From Staten Island Yeah he is big time Tommy Is he Staten Island I mean probably I saw
Starting point is 00:31:17 I saw a funny tweet It said Cause you know They're tearing down The Columbus statues Somebody Cause you know Columbus they're tearing down the Columbus statues. Somebody, cause you know,
Starting point is 00:31:28 Columbus is Italian heritage, Italian hero, um, to some. And somebody said they should just replace the, the, uh, Columbus statue with a statue of big time. Tommy.
Starting point is 00:31:39 Oh, that's great. Take it ease. Hey, big time. Tommy unfollowed and refollowed him like three times. Because like his bit, it doesn't really ever change. But I like seeing it every now and then.
Starting point is 00:31:51 I'm like, oh, I love that there's a big time Tommy out there. That's me and Cole Campbell. Oh, I can never unfollow Cole. Cole dropped some heat. He dropped some heat. So what was that course? Was he playing Pebble? You got to think.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Well, where was that? I've heard he goes low, too. He wasn't playing anything. I didn't even see this, and I think I'm happy I didn't see it. You dropped the music video. Oh, we did. But it's like 45 seconds long. Well, he said that he was going to drop a music video,
Starting point is 00:32:17 but given all the things that were going on in the world, he didn't think it was right. And so he waited a week. The name of his song is Louis Vuitton Gang. That's pretty original. Yeah, no one's ever, like, done that before. Talked about, like, Louis in a rap. Well, he's actually doing a little bit more hip-hop.
Starting point is 00:32:32 It's not just him singing. It's more he's dropping bars. Oh, he's got bars. Cole's got bars. Why is his timing so bad? I think you'll find most people. He does, like find most amateur musicians, their timing is just not good. Yeah, he does the karaoke thing where you're reading off the monitor and you're behind, so you have to speed up your words to catch up, you know?
Starting point is 00:32:54 Yeah. He does that in his own original songs. He just needs to practice more. He'll be fine. But it was in his music video. Like, get it right for the video. Dude, he'll be fine. Can we talk about bird dogs?
Starting point is 00:33:07 Can we? Dude, I wore them all Saturday. I told you guys I didn't move. These are performance shorts, but if you want to not perform, trust me. They're there for you as well. So they're good for not performing as well. They're good for both. You can wear these things anywhere.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Imagine shorts that you can lounge in and perform in at the same time. I know. That have built-in silky soft inner liner that makes underwear obsolete. You don't see that anywhere. Just think about that. After today, or after this podcast, I'm going to go home, put my bird dogs on, and I'm going to go run hills. Damn. Probably sprint them, Dylan.
Starting point is 00:33:38 I bet you won't. These things are the best. They're so comfortable. They are. I saw people wearing them before, and I was like, oh, those are bird dogs. Those are good-looking shorts. I've never tried them on. Then I got I saw people wearing them before, and I was like, oh, those are bird dogs. Those are good-looking shorts. I've never tried them on.
Starting point is 00:33:46 And then I got my first pair in the mail, and I was like, damn. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Let's do this. Well, I'm the bird dogs guy from TV. You are. I am, too.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Well, I am, too. Okay. I'm the guy in the background. You are there, yeah. I'm the bird dogs guy in the background from TV. Yeah. I'm kind of the behind-the-scenes bird dogs guy from TV. Like, oh, Dave's pulling the strings, smiling like the curtain.
Starting point is 00:34:06 Cool. You have the executive producer credit. That's all you want. I'll say this. Like, Bird Dogs is the only sponsor to put us on national television. For that, I'm forever grateful. Sure. So major shouts to them.
Starting point is 00:34:15 And, yeah, I'm going to love their shorts forever. These things are comfortable. They're just the best. Go to birddogs.com, enter promo code STEAM, and they'll throw in a free pair of nunchucks. Yes, you heard that right. Nunchucks. You'll get an actual throw in a free pair of nunchucks yes you heard that right nunchucks you'll get an actual weapon along with your pair of bird dogs that's birddogs.com promo code steam and boom a free pair of nunchucks with your pair of bird dogs you will not take
Starting point is 00:34:34 these things off i promise you man shout out to us major shouts to us shout out to nlu for getting a commercial but i mean we had a commercial before yeah sorry they're always riding our jock it's terrible i don't know you know man i think they listen to our pod and take our golf tags out of here well they're gonna love my colonial tags actually can we talk about long gone summer real quick yeah long gone and full of gone kombucha i know dylan watched it dylan yeah i was imagining imagining Dylan getting ready to watch it, and he's just getting some lotion out, some tissue. Did you just watch two hours worth of dingers? I didn't masturbate to that.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Dingers. Yeah. I forgot this was on until I tweeted my panic room from Sunday Scaries last night, and every single person responded that I needed to be watching Long Gone Summer. I wish I would have watched it. How did you botch this? Now, Tal, this is very relatable what you did. I was watching A Lost.
Starting point is 00:35:30 That's not relatable. It's not 2008, whenever that show was on. I think that's a very fair date. It had already started, and it was like 30 minutes in, and I didn't record it on YouTube TV or whatever. And if I wanted to go in and watch it at prime, I think I would have had to have waited till it finished to watch it from the beginning. Yes. So I was like, I'm not going to start this at 10 o'clock or whatever. And so I didn't watch it. I'm going to watch it. So anything I have to offer here will be probably
Starting point is 00:36:00 minimal trash. So I acknowledge that now. I wanted them. They didn't address the steroid stuff until 15 minutes ago in the two-hour documentary. Unique move there. I did see this on the Twitter. There was a mention of him taking the Andrew. I forgot what it's called. Andrew something. They just called it Andrew.
Starting point is 00:36:19 That was early on, probably like 30, 45 minutes into the show. Andrew used to be legal. Over the counter, you could get a GNC. Then they dropped it. Mark McGuire will tell you that it minutes into the show. Android used to be legal, over-the-counter. You could get it at GNC. Yeah, Mark McGuire will tell you that it's over-the-counter. Anyone can buy it. Then they dropped it, and then they didn't bring up steroids or anything illegal until like 15 minutes ago on the show, which was the underlying story throughout that entire process.
Starting point is 00:36:41 That was kind of annoying to me. It was wrong that they did not talk about it for so long. Yeah. entire process. That was kind of annoying to me. It was wrong that they did not talk about it for so long. Yeah. I also thought that they didn't do a good job of storytelling. Yeah. I didn't think that I got much insight into the effect that it had on baseball as a whole, the effect it had on the teams itself.
Starting point is 00:37:03 They needed more Bob Costas. He was the only one who actually broke it down. No one's ever said that i i needed less bob costas at one point at one point bob costas was going through something when they were talking about the records and stuff and he started going down this road he was like i don't even wrote he's like he's like he just started saying like it's dirt on your baseball glove it's roger maris hitting 61 home runs in 1960 and it was just like all right bob you're laying it on a little bit. He does lay it on. He's so horny for baseball. He's so horny for just like classic old-timey sports.
Starting point is 00:37:30 I'd rather listen to Peter Costas. Dude, I'd rather listen to, I don't even know. Just anyone. There also was very little of Sammy Sosa. I saw some comments on Twitter about that. So they interviewed McGuire and Sosa for this. They comments on Twitter about that. They interviewed McGuire and Sosa for this. They showed McGuire a lot. It was basically about Mark McGuire.
Starting point is 00:37:51 It is a good song. I just love Sammy Sosa. Yeah. I think the reason they didn't include a lot of Sammy Sosa is because he's a terrible interviewer. Interviewee at this point, I should say. He's just terrible at it. He comes off as just super phony and uncomfortable,
Starting point is 00:38:08 and he doesn't address the steroid stuff like Mark McGuire does. He still to this day, if you ask him straight up, did you take steroids, he doesn't say no, but he doesn't say yes. I love a good non-answer. He just deflects. He said he's like everyone did it. Let me ask you this. How much does McGuire admit to?
Starting point is 00:38:28 He admits to all of it. Okay. Yeah. You know what was jarring? I did catch a little bit of it. It took him a while, though. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:35 I remember him being a holdout. They were showing some of his early ABs from the A's years. And then they were showing him. It's like his traps just exploded he's got those traps and shoulders like his shoulders are like steep he's talking about he could he could shrug all the weight in the gym all of it just doing shrugs massive he still is he's still the big he's a hitting coach right yeah um he was he was a hitting coach for the cardinals i thought i think he's a hitting coach for the a Yeah. He was. He was a hitting coach for the Cardinals, I thought. I think he's a hitting coach for San Diego now, like a minor league club or something.
Starting point is 00:39:10 I don't know. Interesting. Or maybe the coach of a minor league club. I give this documentary not a B. I wanted more for sure. I mean, talk about the steroid stuff. That was the whole that was the i didn't need them to make it the whole theme of the the documentary because i don't think that
Starting point is 00:39:31 that's like i don't think it needs to be the theme of it i think showing how much it brought baseball back and how much it made baseball the must watch sport at that time like i think that was worth expanding on but to not touch on it for so long was just very weird yeah and i don't know i it it did bring me back i mean i was 11 years old i don't remember all of it but i remember watching sports center every single day and i remember watching espn every single night waiting for them to cut in to a sosa or mcguire at bat i never found either of them to be too likable did you like one more than the other at the time? I was a big Ken Griffey Jr. guy, obviously.
Starting point is 00:40:09 We all know that, dude. Yeah, big Ken Griffey Jr. guy. So I didn't want either of them to break any records. I always wanted to be Jr., but he never did. I didn't like either more than the other one. They're both just kind of... Sammy Sosa was always a little bit phony to me. And then Mark McGuire just didn't have much of a personality.
Starting point is 00:40:27 I gave Sosa a pass back then because he obviously didn't have a great grasp of the language. And so I was always like, okay, he doesn't – it's got to be difficult coming here. And now you're like in the biggest of spotlights and you don't really speak the language that well. the spot the biggest of spotlights and you don't really speak the language that well you know because every you know everybody used to always you know joke about how we would always just say baseball's been good to me all that very very good to me yeah and it's like so i gave him a pass i i didn't really have a a dog in that uh yeah fight though i didn't care i was just like oh this is cool i remember the rangers are trash i remember at time, and I guess I was 15 when this went down, I remember even as a 15-year-old knowing that, yeah,
Starting point is 00:41:08 like these guys are cheating. Like it was kind of obvious. I mean, you don't go from no one breaking the record for however how many years it was into two guys just absolutely crushing it in the same season. None of it made sense. Dude, the Tigers finished 65-97 that year. What year was it?
Starting point is 00:41:27 98. I think the Rangers, that sounds like a year the Rangers yet again got swept by the Yankees first round, like divisional. It kind of was a bummer that the Cardinals didn't even make the playoffs. Yeah, they were not good. I kind of forgot. Yeah. Because you would assume that if you have a guy with 70 home runs
Starting point is 00:41:44 that you'd make the playoffs. You'd put up some numbers. But, yeah, it was kind of forgot. Yeah. Because you would assume that if you have a guy with 70 home runs that you'd make the playoffs. You'd put up some numbers. But, yeah, it was kind of shocking to me. I kind of just forgot because as an 11-year-old, it didn't matter to me if they made the playoffs or not. I didn't like either one more than the other. I think I was more dialed in on Mark McGuire because he always was kind of setting the pace for the home run race. He looked like a cartoon, man. Yeah, and he was larger than life.
Starting point is 00:42:03 But Sosa was more likable at the time now sosa's not likable because he's just kind of weird no he's not kind of mcguire is much more likable because he's very forthright with everything i think i if i had to say i pulled for one i was more of a cubs guy than a cards guy so i was i was always more part i was like yeah i like the cubs better i like their ballpark better and just their entire vibe this is back then crazy seeing how small the bleachers were yes oh my word things have changed stupid small but i don't know not that great in terms of the most recent 30 for 30s that we've talked about on here it's definitely the worst one that's come out during quarantine they mentioned jose canseco for like one minute maybe how did he was he was the
Starting point is 00:42:48 poster boy of steroids why is this two hours and they were teammates why was this two hours i don't know why is this not a three-part series yeah like that dials in on certain things every single episode it could have been so much better than it was when i realized halfway through that this wasn't like a mini series or like a two or three parter i was just like oh they're gonna botch this this is not gonna be good they they left they left um a lot on the table did they i saw a tweet that said that they kind of pinned steroids more on bonds in this yes is that true uh a little bit i mean i didn't get that they kind of just like i mean i don't know if they pinned it on him, but they definitely brought up, like the second they brought up steroids,
Starting point is 00:43:28 they were like, oh, and Barry Bonds showed a bunch of clips of him, and he wasn't mentioned the entire time. Could we just say that all three of those guys should be Hall of Famers? No. Why? Because they cheated. Oh, my God. Are you really one of those guys?
Starting point is 00:43:40 Yeah, look, I don't fault the guys for cheating. I don't like your opinion. No, I don't. If I was a professional baseball player in that era, I would have taken steroids. Hardness take. Listen, I would have taken steroids because you're leaving money on the table if you're not doing it. But if you are knowingly cheating, you don't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. That's my opinion.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Shut up, bitch. Get your fucking old ass why why do you think they should that was a stupid because it's tight yeah because hitting home baseball very tight they saved baseball dylan saved baseball and just because you weren't even watching it you were probably like in college when this was going to save baseball dave baseball was going to be just fine without them were you drunk the entire summer in 98 when i was 15 yes probably that was a good year for the panthers state in 98 lights actually i was drinking keystone back then really wow i mean i just said it was gross so not really yeah right there's also some more sports this
Starting point is 00:44:40 weekend i can't believe dylan's a sanctity of the game guy. Yeah, that's gross. No, I'm not. I just said I would have done it too. I think most people, like, if you can get away with it, it's almost dumb not to. You probably want the season to still be under 62 games. Just like the Lance documentary. They said, like, if you didn't do it, you're going to be pushed out of the sport.
Starting point is 00:44:59 This guy probably doesn't even want billionaires to build their own stadium. But if you cheat, you don't deserve to be honored in that way. I'm sorry. I heard Griffey was deep in the steroid game.
Starting point is 00:45:12 You just couldn't get needles out of his arm. He's a name that never was really brought up. Look at him. He wasn't that big. He wasn't that big. He wasn't small.
Starting point is 00:45:20 He became a thick boy. He became a thick boy. He wasn't wiry. The fact that McGuire and Sosa did steroids, that doesn't detract from how I feel about them as baseball players. It sounds like it does. It really doesn't. I mean—
Starting point is 00:45:31 I just hate—I just love—I love rubbing baseball hardos the wrong way. Nothing better. I don't think I'm a baseball hardo, for the record. I honestly didn't— I don't belong in the Hall of Fame. I didn't think you were until now. Now I'm kind of wondering. Well, you said it like it was a foregone conclusion that I would believe that they belong in the Hall of Fame. Are you from think you were until now. Now I'm kind of wondering. You said it like
Starting point is 00:45:45 it was a foregone conclusion that I would believe that they belong in the Hall of Fame. Why is that? Fucking loser. Why is that, Dan? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Maybe it's because I thought we had talked about it. Talked about what? I thought we... I don't know. It's just one of those things where I'm like, oh yeah,
Starting point is 00:46:00 we probably are all in agreement here. You don't think any of them, even Bonds? No. Dude, give me Bonds. Bonds, if not... Oh, give me Bonds. He broke the record because he took steroids.
Starting point is 00:46:13 He was sick before. Baseball's so murky and weird. I just don't care. No, these guys are incredible baseball players. That's not the point here. You're going to tell me that you found out that one of those guys was drinking their own piss just to recycle the steroids in the system? They shouldn't be in the hall?
Starting point is 00:46:28 The reason why this stuff is banned is because it obviously gives you a huge advantage in the game. Dude, so you can get creatine. They didn't know at the time, dude. Okay. Dude, they didn't know. Okay. This is pretty rich from a guy who's on steroids right now. I know.
Starting point is 00:46:44 I can't really talk with my new EPO. You should get on EPO. I've been on it. Have you ever seen a guy's legs that are on EPO? They're very veiny. Yeah. And gross. There's a guy at our gym.
Starting point is 00:46:55 I haven't been in five months. Oh, that guy. Have you seen that dude? Oh, yeah. I've been feeling my legs every day trying to see if my muscles are popping more. I've been feeling your legs every day, too. Get a measure. Tape measure.
Starting point is 00:47:09 I'm trying to see if I'm losing any weight in my ankles that's hard to do i know i think once you got the you don't have cankles just weigh your ankle i don't want to put that out there but your ankles aren't noticeably like no i don't have like the noticeable calf muscle that like directly goes down into like a bone and whatever tendon filled ankle like my ankles are not they're not bad ankles. They have tendons. They're not great ankles. I think I have pretty average ankles. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Your ankles are nothing to call home about. The guy that we got paired up with on Friday every time Dan's ankles are stupid fuckable though. No they're not. I would go to town. Your ankles are hot dude. This dude every time Dan would tee off and like mash one
Starting point is 00:47:43 this old guy would be like oh oh, he's an animal. Talking about Dan, and Dan's just like, eh. What happened at Colonial this weekend? I don't know. They played golf. It's the first one back. It was the Charles Schwab at Colonial. And it was fun.
Starting point is 00:48:04 I watched quite a bit of golf. So we talked last week. We gave some picks. I threw out Spieth after Dan and I were conversing behind the scenes. He flirted with it. Oh, he flirted. So, look, I don't talk about my finances publicly. That's clear.
Starting point is 00:48:25 But I did have a significant interest in Jordan Spieth at 44-1. And I guaranteed a top 10, which ended up coming to fruition. He was T10. He had the lead through Saturday, right? No, no. He went into Sunday one off the lead. And it was a quintessential modern day Jordan Spieth round or tournament I should say in that there were some absolute bombs drained 30 foot putts saving par
Starting point is 00:48:56 even saving bogey yesterday um there was a four jack I I believe, on Saturday. Friday or Saturday. Gross. Who was involved? Come on, man. We don't do that. We're trying to be a serious pod here. Dude, he just did it, though. Sorry. Four jack. Come on. Dave, you're disgusting.
Starting point is 00:49:16 Anyway, I was playing yesterday, and all I was looking forward to was going home, seeing him win, winning a significant amount of money and um it didn't work out let me just say that yeah you shouldn't two puff and three feet if you're trying to win a tournament he missed like a one and a half foot putt he uh the coverage was i saw okay this is why i don't like gambling on golf first of all i don't like gambling on golf. First of all, I don't like gambling on guys that I like. Because I like Georgia Speed. You had big boy stacks. You had big boy stacks.
Starting point is 00:49:50 Not super big, but enough to where if I would have won it, I would be buying lunch today. I would. We would go to Taco Cabana, and I would buy lunch. So when you bet on a golfer, it's different than betting on a team. Team lets you down. It's like, oh, you know, I fucked up, whatever. Like Jordan, it's like there's baggage there, and you know it, and you like the guy.
Starting point is 00:50:15 He hasn't won in three years, and you really want it to happen. Even if I didn't have money, I would have been pulling for him or HV3. I was pulling for Varner Hart Saturday. Yeah. Admittedly, I didn't watch much. I was tracking it, but Saturday I did watch, but on Sunday I was at the pool the entire time. So I was only getting –
Starting point is 00:50:36 We'd get it. You had a pool slot. I was getting hearsay. No, I was at Sally's parents. I was getting hearsay through the door. So just watching it and, like, yesterday I was listening toay through the door. So just watching it and like yesterday, I was listening to the first few holes driving back from the golf course, and I was listening to this.
Starting point is 00:50:50 I still have the Sirius with my vehicle. Oh, nice. It's the free. Mine already went away. Mine's still free unless I'm paying for it and don't know it, which I don't think I know. You 100% are. God damn it.
Starting point is 00:51:00 So I'm listening to PGA Tour radio, which is actually really nice to listen to on a long drive. It's very soothing. Yeah. It's good. I agree. And they're talking speed. I'm like, oh, no.
Starting point is 00:51:10 It's just up and down. I think he parred or bogeyed one, which is a simple hole. It's a birdie hole. You're losing strokes on the field. He started the back not on fire. Yeah. I was like, oh, okay. But I get home, and I'm ready to watch it even though he's like two
Starting point is 00:51:25 or three off the lead and he's made a bogey they're not showing him and then he made a birdie they showed the next tee and it got him to like two off the lead they show he was playing with marukawa and uh they show him tee off first or they show marukawa tee off and then jordan goes to put his tee in the ground and i'm like wait why why is jordan teeing off after him he had honors there and he kind of says something about like um might be in the hazard and i'm like oh shit he just he put one out about they never showed the shot and then you find out you go look at the the app it's like oh he's hitting a provisional and it's just little things like that it makes it really hard to um when you have a vested interest in one of the guys and he's not
Starting point is 00:52:09 he's kind of getting dropped from coverage a little bit it's really frustrating even though i knew it was a long shot he had about a five percent chance to win based on my my metrics and um it was just not fun it was not fun and then it ended up being Kind of a shit show at the end Daniel Berger At DB Stray Vibin Dude We've loved We've been on this dude since Do you remember the match play Where we saw his
Starting point is 00:52:32 Victoria Was she a Victoria's Secret Or what is she No she was just An Instagram thotty She was just an absolute honey She was a very attractive Instagram thotty
Starting point is 00:52:39 And she was walking around The Dell match play Are they still together Yeah hard to say He kind of You just knew We didn't even know who she was But it was just like Oh that's a girlfriend That's somebody Yeah Walking around the Dell match play. Are they still together? It's hard to say. He kind of – You just knew – we didn't even know who she was, but it was just like, oh, that's a girlfriend or a wife.
Starting point is 00:52:48 That's somebody. Yeah. She put off – Well, she was following a group by herself, like standing away from the crowd. So it was kind of obvious. So, yeah, he's an interesting dude. But, yeah, so Colin and Xander both had a chance. Xander – you saw the horseshoe putt.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Yeah. Which, yikes. Tough. Whoa. Tough scene. And you saw Colin's putt that he just – I don't know if he – I don't think he mishitted it. Mishitted it.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Also mishitted it. Mishitted it. That's correct. So, I don't know, man. It was fun. Good to have golf back. Got the heritage this week. I'll probably put it. Mishitted it. That's correct. So, I don't know, man. It was fun. Good to have golf back. Got the heritage this week. I'll probably put some minor league stacks on somebody.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Like a medium boy stack. Just so I can make myself miserable. Berger's girlfriend has way fewer followers than I thought. How many? Or maybe. Why did I think she was like a 30,000? No. Lower.
Starting point is 00:53:40 64. 69. Lower. 69 and a half. 35.1. That's a little boy stack. 69. Lower. 69.5. 35.1. That's a little boy stack. Yeah. That's actually, I mean.
Starting point is 00:53:49 I mean, it's twice what I have. But I'm just saying. Yeah, you have a tiny boy stack, though. Oh, yeah. We didn't even talk about Bryson. Yeah, I mean, Bryson, do you. Honest question. Honest question.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Yes. Does this make him more likable? Yes. Does it. Do you kind of want to see this pan out? Yes. Me too. I don't hate the idea of science and just getting huge being something that people do in golf. I want to see this happen.
Starting point is 00:54:16 That's kind of the beauty of golf. This point was made on the broadcast. You have Gary Woodland, who slimmed down like 20, 30 pounds or whatever or whatever noticeably thinner and then you have bryson who do the exact opposite and they're both you know right there so it's just i want it to work because like there's so many there's so many dudes like purists who are like oh you know you get in the gym you lose your swing that's what happens to them all your body breaks down i'd like this to be the to buck that trend do you think he's do you think he's using anything illegal? No. No, I don't either.
Starting point is 00:54:47 He knows the spotlight's on him. He's like farm boy thick, you know? I met him. I agree. He doesn't look like he's a guy that's like he doesn't look like Mark McGuire. He just looks like he's been eating a lot of peanut butter. Four to six protein shakes a day. He doesn't look
Starting point is 00:55:03 great. No. No, that's not like the ideal male body looks uncomfortable yeah he just looks wide yeah i don't know i i i don't i've never liked bryson i've never been one of the people that like support him in like whatever but it's like i kind of love this it's like he's gonna be an extra day on the on the d line like right there it looks like he ate one of me before playing the three technique like he he is so huge he can have my weight i'll be i'll give it to him y'all gonna be stunting together on the on the line day you guys just blowing up the uh what is it called stupid they even bryson on the d-line together it's not gonna happen dash brothers. Dash brothers, dude. Dude, it would be. The plug brothers.
Starting point is 00:55:45 If I went on the Bryson plan, like workout and diet, I could maybe get up to like 180. That's the most I could ever get up to. And I would be miserable. It would be the worst. The idea of drinking more than one protein shake a day. Sounds terrible. Drinking one protein shake a day gets real old. He's doing six.
Starting point is 00:56:03 Drinking two, that's going to get old real quick. And then anything more than that is just you're miserable. You're not enjoying this. It can't be good for you, right? There's like some sketchy stuff in those. In what? Protein powder. It depends on what the protein.
Starting point is 00:56:19 Do you know what he's been doing, actually? He's been PostMating all this stuff. Wow, I thought that's been PostMating all this stuff. Wow, I thought that's my... Really? Yeah. Because PostMates is the app that you can get pretty much anything from anywhere at any time. 365 days a year. He must just be living on that app.
Starting point is 00:56:34 Dude, he's living on it. He's living on the app? The smoothie restaurant is on life support down the street from his crib. They're like, dude, Bryson, how many smoothies do you need? I'm out, Bryson. We can't handle all this, man. Dude, we don't have this much. But it doesn't matter, because with PostMates, you, Bryson, how many smoothies do you need? I'm out, Bryson. We can't handle all this, man. We don't have this much. But it doesn't matter because with Postmates, you can get anything, anytime.
Starting point is 00:56:49 If you're like me, you start thinking about what you want for dinner while you're eating lunch. Bryson's thinking about what he wants for dinner the night before. And that's why he loves using Postmates. But I kind of love them even more right now because I can get food delivered without leaving the house or even opening the door. Because given what's going on in the world, they create a non-contact delivery. So when I order from local restaurants, everything gets left right outside my door.
Starting point is 00:57:12 Perfect. There's nothing better. You just open the door. It's sitting there. You pick it up. You give them a wave as they're walking off. Thank you. I'll do my dues.
Starting point is 00:57:19 A little golf wave? Like a boat wave? I flick my cap like I'm Kale. Okay. Kale. They also have Postmates pickup. You guys wear this service? You can order takeout from your favorite local restaurants.
Starting point is 00:57:32 I mean, you could just support your neighborhood's favorite spots right now. Is that what that is? Yep. You just place it through that, and you just go get it. Oh, that's different. I thought they just dropped off a truck because it's truck month in front of your house. That'd be tight. You thought that's what they did?
Starting point is 00:57:45 Yeah. How much sense would that make? They're innovative. That's true. They are in the forefront of technology, which is why you can get anything anytime you want it. Surprised you didn't know that, Dylan. You know how you can get this stuff? All you have to do is download Postmates on iOS or Android, find your favorites, and get anything you want delivered within the hour. For a limited time, Postmates
Starting point is 00:58:02 is giving our listeners $100 of free delivery credit for your first seven days. To start your free deliveries, download the app and use code CIRCLING. That's code CIRCLING for $100 of free delivery credit for your first seven days when you download the Postmates app. Anything you need, anytime you need it, just Postmate

Yo, t let's do a little let's do a little tinky music I'm you know I miss tinky breaks they're fun yeah it's been a while yeah man it's and it's just a nice little time that I can just hang out and talk to you you know oh man I really miss you sometimes I know I know man I kind of wish we'd have linked up and build it on Saturday I didn't you link with me dog it was just

Starting point is 00:58:58 The dining area's open, right? I haven't had a draft beer in months. Imagine linking and building over a pie in a pint. I know. I haven't had a draft beer in months. Imagine linking and building over a pie in a pint. I don't know. Imagine. I haven't had a draft beer since quarantine started. Think I have, Will? No.
Starting point is 00:59:11 You think? I don't know. Dave had one the other day. Yeah. Thanks for the invite. Very jealous. I'm getting a little nervous about coronavirus, if I'm being honest. I've been nervous, but my nerves are picking back up to the point where I think that I
Starting point is 00:59:21 have it all the time. Yeah, it's been in a slump for a little bit, but it's showing signs of breaking out of the slump. I think. Starting to make solid contact again. Yeah, I think people need to realize that, like, we're spiking. People are forgetting that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:36 Yeah, the, well, we got to get back out there sometime crowd is really running with it. Yeah, I'm not going to. You know, people can do what they want, but, like, as long as I see these cases going up, I think I'm going to sit my ass at it. Yeah, I'm not going to. You know, people can do what they want, but as long as I see these cases going up, I think I'm going to sit my ass at home. Can we talk about what Randy did in the studio? Let's give a little quick studio update. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:54 We have a desk in here now with a workstation, cameras and TVs and wires everywhere. I'm not real sure what's going on, but it looks like a real studio now. Here's the deal. With this new setup that Randy had, for all of you out there that want to watch on YouTube over listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify or anywhere else podcasts are found, this is going to make this so much faster for you to watch on YouTube.
Starting point is 01:00:14 Randy's about to have videos up in no time. Really? Yeah. This lag time that he's been doing, he feels bad about it. He wants it to be faster. No one likes a lag. Randy works faster than his machine works. That's what you like to hear.
Starting point is 01:00:24 Because we have this, it's going to start coming to YouTubes near you faster. No one likes a lag. Randy works faster than his machine works. That's what you like to hear. Because we have this, it's going to start coming to YouTubes near you faster. Imagine hopping on the YouTubes and seeing our faces like that. How's your tinky, Dave? Give it a grade. B+. That's good.
Starting point is 01:00:40 It's true? Clear, hydrated. You love to see that. Optimized. Got some cold brew in me. Feeling good. Can you give us a little bird's eye view of why Ted Cruz is trending with Ron Perlman? Oh, yeah. So this was a weird one. So yesterday I saw that Ron Perlman or Hellboy was trending,
Starting point is 01:01:01 and I was like, what happened to Ron Perlman? or Hellboy was trending. And I was like, what happened to Ron Perlman? And somebody on Twitter tweeted, oh, Ron Perlman was tweeting about U.S. soccer. Would you love to see that? Well, this is your lane. He's a big supporter of the United States men's national team. He tweeted, the U.S. soccer team called, and you guessed it,
Starting point is 01:01:22 said they couldn't give any less of a fuck what you think, oh, or what you two dipshits think, at real Donald Trump, at Matt Gaetz. Gatz, doesn't matter. Anyway, I think there was some issue with, like, they said they were going to kneel. Did they say that? The men's national team? I don't know, to be honest. This was hard to follow because there's a lot of threads, a lot of players involved.
Starting point is 01:01:45 They got a little too deep. Okay. Anyway. This might have to do with the Megan Rapinoe stuff and not so much the U.S. men's national team. Okay. I don't really know. I haven't been following too much national team stuff lately,
Starting point is 01:02:01 so I could be wrong there. But I think this might just be the whole kind of controversy that's going on. So Matt Gatz, he is a congressman representing the 1st District in Florida. He chimed in with a quote tweet. He said, This racial justice warrior, talking about Ron Perlman, had no problem in Hollywood portraying the white supremacist leader of a motorcycle game. Hashtag SOA.
Starting point is 01:02:23 Of course, that's a reference to sons of anarchy a show that i did watch and you know what it wasn't great it wasn't terrible some seasons were better than the others it had that hot dude what's his name always forget his name really bad acting in that really shit acting like just the worst absolute turds i know you're talking about but i don't i've never is he australian i think so he's just charlie yeah charlie charlie there's a guy on hunt him there it is there's a guy on love island who looked just Is he Australian? I think so. He's just a hunk. Yeah, Charlie. Charlie Hunnam? There it is. There's a guy on Love Island who looked just like him,
Starting point is 01:02:49 and one of the girls on the show, like two weeks after he had been on the show, he looked so much like him that he got a Sons of Anarchy tattoo on his back. That's lame. So lame. Like the lamest thing ever. But this one girl on the show was like, this is like two weeks after he was on.
Starting point is 01:03:03 She was like, wait, is it him though? Like she still didn't really know because you're cut off from everybody. You don't know if you're actually getting the Sons of Anarchy guy. show was like this is like two weeks after he was on she was like wait is it him though like she still didn't really know because you're cut off from everybody you don't know if you're actually getting the sons of anarchy guy it's the guy who was just in a movie with mcconaughey he's now doing love island his agent needs to needs a raise so anyway so there there's like a back and forth with ron perlman and the reason we're doing this story in comes ted cruz you guys familiar with ted i'm familiar with ted yeah queso guy noted noted lover of queso and um this is this is one of the weirder things so first of all like just the idea of like calling a guy out for like a role he played on a show and like
Starting point is 01:03:47 saying that that would somehow eliminate you from having an opinion on uh so something topical ron perlman's a guy with the the caricature face yes okay super like the most chiseled face in hollywood yeah he's weird it's up there with uh brolin yeah uh so. Chiseled face all stars. Who's your first team all chiseled face? It's got to be Henry Cavill. Oh, that jaw. Oh my God. You guys wonder what my jawline looks like under this beard now?
Starting point is 01:04:16 Not really. I'm kind of wondering. Dude, let's see it. I don't think it's going to be good, but I've been wondering. I don't know, man. Let's see it. Shave live on the air. No.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Manscaped.com. So Cruz chimes in. Listen, Hellboy. He was playing a role, Ted. Hellboy. Does Ted actually think he's Hellboy? This is a move that a lot of these guys do. It's like you diminish them and reduce their opinion by a role they played.
Starting point is 01:04:48 Bill O'Reilly used to do this famously. My parents used to watch The Factor, and I remember being home during the summers and The Factor would be on. He would always – that's how – if a Hollywood guy, if Clooney had an opinion on something, we'd diminish it because he played a role of something silly. Whatever. And it said, listen, hell boy, you talk good game when you've got Hollywood makeup and
Starting point is 01:05:10 stuntmen, but I'll bet 10K to the non-political charity of your choice that you couldn't last five minutes in the wrestling ring with at Jim underscore Jordan without getting pinned. You up for it? Or does your publicist say too risky? So Ted is now, Ted's not challenging Ron Perlman. Chet is, Chet, Chet Cruz, that works. Chet Cruz is actually a great side character. Ted is now like, this is like he's getting a champion to fight on his behalf.
Starting point is 01:05:37 So he is now like signing up somebody else to go wrestle this dude. And this is what Ted does. Ted Cruz is kind of revolting for a lot of reasons. He likes to go out and throw out the most divisive tweets about certain things. And what makes it infuriating is that Ted Cruz is a very intelligent person, one of the most intelligent people in our government, just intellectually speaking. And it makes it maddening that he uses it for what I believe to be a lot of the wrong things. And evil? Yeah, like lasers. and it makes it maddening that he uses it for what I believe to be a lot of the wrong things. Evil?
Starting point is 01:06:07 Yeah, like lasers. Anyway, then he kind of does this kind of stuff. He did it with Jimmy Fallon. Not Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy Kimmel, the basketball thing. He tries to normalize himself and do these little things. It's like, look, I'm a good guy. We'll do some fun gags with the pop culture guys for charity.
Starting point is 01:06:29 And it's like, dude, you're guy we'll do some fun gags with the pop culture guys for charity and it's like dude you're the worst so he's doing this he's signing up this other dude to do a wrestling match with hellboy with ron perlman i don't get it i don't really know jim who jim jordan is but apparently he's got a past um well like ron perlman's 70 years old is he 70 yes i'm sorry but like my my parents are, you know, getting towards 70, and I don't want them stepping in a ring with pretty much anybody at this point. I'm not stepping in a ring. I'm 36. I'm not going to shame Ron Perlman for not fighting, like, somebody with his fists. Right.
Starting point is 01:06:56 He's an actor, too. Yeah, yeah, people forget that. He's not a fighter. He's not actually helping. So Ron Perlman claps back back per this article on heavy.com wait is this the ted cruz holy shit man is this the same guy that let little donnie call his wife a dog and his father an assassin and now kisses his ass yo can i get your autograph man oh boy that's a good tweet it's a good tweet that's a good tweet because uh that stuff is true yeah all
Starting point is 01:07:24 of that happened. Imagine if a guy, like, accused your dad of killing JFK. One of the most significant moments in world history, or in U.S. history at least. And you're just going to let it slide. Now you're just kind of, yeah, I'm, like, with this guy. Yeah. Whatever. I mean, I feel like one of you at this point could accuse like something like someone in my family of doing something outlandish like that.
Starting point is 01:07:47 And I'd be like, all right, like I'm still going to work with these guys, but like, that's a weird accusation to make, but I don't think as many people care about that. So, yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:53 So Jim Jordan was apparently the wrestling coach at Ohio state during that Ohio state wrestling, sexual abuse scandal. And he says he didn't know it. He didn't, you know, his whole thing is like, Oh,
Starting point is 01:08:04 I didn't know this was going on. And it's really absurd that he's involved in this. But now, yeah, he's a rep now, 4th District in Ohio, Republican. It's just absurd. It's just been an absurd three months. Yeah. And Ted is just off the rails now i can't believe ted's not even 50 yet he's 49 years old he's only 49 he's 49 years old he looks like shit
Starting point is 01:08:37 he got that trash ass haircut from shelly luther it's that queso he's got too much he's eating too much queso for a 49-year-old man. You've got to be careful with queso because it can really fill you up, especially if you're doing it pre-meal. Marco Rubio is 49, and he looks way better than Ted Cruz. Marco Rubio looks way better. Way better than Ted Cruz. Whatever.
Starting point is 01:08:59 What a weird situation. Yeah. Do you guys want to talk briefly? Who wins that match? I don't know if you guys. I'm not familiar with Jim Jordan, but you've got gotta think it's him because he's not 70 you gotta take hell boy hell boy he's 70 though yeah but he's a big but he's hell boy is he big in real life he looked he looks like a he looks like a monster but he's first team all chisel we talked
Starting point is 01:09:18 about that well he's he's got i mean he's not a handsome man. He's got really strong features. Super strong. He looks like he's carved out of stone. Yeah. It's great. His jaw, if I punched his jaw, it would break my hand. He's got great villain face, really. So does Sammy Sosa. Did Sammy Sosa not look like he needed to be petting a cat in that documentary last night?
Starting point is 01:09:51 You know he's doing the like the the skin whitening process right yeah it's weird yeah it's weird I just looked up uh shirtless photos of Ron Perlman and I'll say that he's a unit he's a big man yeah I'm not sure I want to mess with him very much so Ron Perlman challenged Ted, and Ted responded by saying, apparently you're soft, you're scared to wrestle Jordan. So Ted won't fight this dude, won't wrestle Ron Perlman. This is an absurd statement. But he will call this dude soft for not wanting to— It's just absurd. I mean, it's— Whatever.
Starting point is 01:10:21 It's weird. I wish I had just stayed in the bathroom. Yeah, you should have. This story just makes me— There's a lot of things going on here you should have can you imagine if i just i was still in there and you're like where's dave yeah the tinky break might have had to end early you want to talk call of duty now will yeah i downloaded call of duty this weekend man i'm excited to hear about this uh i'll believe it when i see it so i was at um a small get together on thursday night for noted uh co-host sometimes of the mail-in podcast lily happy birthday lily and uh when i
Starting point is 01:10:55 was over there and i had a buddy that started talking to me about call of duty and he really gassed it up to me and was like and then drew started doing it and drew can convince me to do anything he's the reason i have a whoop band like drew can pretty much convince me to do anything in the world and i'll do it because drew have one too yeah his recovery's trash really uh and so finally i was like all right i'm gonna go home and download call of duty i had a couple margaritas i was feeling a little saucy so i downloaded it kind of kind of didn't think about it that night how long did it take to download not sure i just did it and turned my TV off and went to bed. And so, uh, Friday I was like, all right, I got some free time this afternoon to, uh, do nothing. I finished Sunday scary as fast as I thought I would.
Starting point is 01:11:34 So I decided to, uh, fire up the PS4 or PS5, whatever it is for. Yeah. Four. I don't have a PS5 yet. And, uh, fired it up and I went into what I don't even know what i did i clicked into like the first thing that i could do i just i got put somewhere and i was in into some random like scape where i just started i walked were you in like a course i'm wondering if you were in training i don't know if i was in training because i was being shot at you'll know it's well they have like people shooting at you but it's like very structured. They're like, go do this task right here. And then, you know. That's not what it was like for me.
Starting point is 01:12:09 They put you in a little thing you walk through, and it has metal cutouts that you shoot, and it shows you how to pick things up and change weapons, stuff like that. I was getting shot at from the second I turned it on. Were you playing online? I stay online, dude. I'm extremely online. But did it sign? So were you online? Turned it on. Were you playing online? I stay online, dude. I'm extremely online. But did it sign?
Starting point is 01:12:26 So were you playing? Like, did it put you in a lobby and you got to see other people? No. It was definitely downloading another part of the game. So maybe I hadn't downloaded the full, like, thing yet. You got the free version? Yeah. I'm on the free one.
Starting point is 01:12:38 And so, I mean, this is going to sound like the softest thing in the world. But as someone who only plays FIFA, like, there's not a's not a lot of jarring things that happen in that game. The second I started getting shot at, my heart rate spiked. I could feel my heart beating out of my chest. Dude, I'm telling you, the same thing happens to me. It's too intense. People are hunting you. Well, did you handle it better than me,
Starting point is 01:13:02 who immediately pressed the PlayStation button to get out of the game and then closed the application altogether and shut the TV off? Are you kidding me? I was like, dude, that was a lot. It's intense. I don't know if I can do this. I lasted less than five seconds. I think I know what happened.
Starting point is 01:13:17 On Warzone, which is the only thing you have access to, you were in the pregame lobby in the lotto. And that is just like a practice 50 seconds before you go into the actual game. And everybody is loaded up. Just unload on each other. Yeah. And I don't know if now they have it so you can't actually kill somebody. Did you parachute down first? It's chaotic. I didn't parachute anywhere.
Starting point is 01:13:40 It's pure chaos. I didn't parachute anywhere. Then I don't know what that could have been. Posse. Positive. I don't know what you experienced, but it sounds like that. Dude, I freaked out, though. I never felt softer.
Starting point is 01:13:52 I was like, dude, there's all these people out there who are playing this game, and, like, they can do that, and they have a steady hand. Like, their head is on their shoulders right. And, like, me, like, I get shot at once, and I, like, turn my TV off. I get it. Just wait until you're doing a solo, you're in a house and you hear footsteps. Dude, I need someone to come over and give me an actual lesson and tutorial. Sounds like Dylan can do it.
Starting point is 01:14:13 No, I don't want him. I can show you how to play the game. When it comes to strategy, I'm really bad. Nothing makes me feel worse in that game. Tell Drew to help you. I took a photo of the controls so that i could have it up while i was like playing the game like i feel like an old man doing this shit it's not good that makes me feel worse at that game than after i get killed to show you the replay of like from their perspective
Starting point is 01:14:34 how they killed you and i'm like yeah no no shit i got killed like i'm climbing a ladder and someone walks up behind me and it puts one on the back of my skull i don't even know what some of these things that you do are. Like, what does it mean to prone? I'll show you later. That's where you lie down. I'm going to prone. I prone some noobs.
Starting point is 01:14:56 I'm still figuring it out, Will. I don't play a ton, but. I'm just scared at this point. I don't know. After you die die you can you can spectate so you just watch
Starting point is 01:15:09 people who are much better than you play you'll learn things doing that if you like actually want to like be competent at the game apparently TikTok
Starting point is 01:15:15 is a great resource for call of duty strategy like they'll show you like what to like what loadouts to do I still don't even know what a loadout
Starting point is 01:15:24 like how to do a loadout like how to make yours I can teach you yeah you like what to like what loadouts to do i still don't even know what a loadout like how to do a loadout like how to make i can teach you yeah you just go to uh weapons or whatever all i know is people stuff people in the game have much tighter weapons than i do yeah is this not a fair playing field like do like more advanced players have more shit that they can see yes uh yeah because like bullshit once or twice a game and you can you can make it more shit that they can see? Yes. Yeah, because like once or twice a game, and you can make it more than that if you buy the loadout marker, it'll drop a box of supplies, and it's got, you know, what you chose as your, you know, you have like seven or eight slots,
Starting point is 01:15:55 and you can put any combo of guns, lethals, non-lethals, attachments on those numbers, and you can pick one from the loadout, so it gives you the shit that you want as opposed to using what you pull out of a crate or something okay the heartbeat sensor is the game changer for me dude it's almost unfair i almost wonder if like they should get rid of it because like it is a game changer this all sounds like bullshit it's so stressful because like i don't i don't want to go in where people have heart rate sensors and stuff. Well, you can get one too.
Starting point is 01:16:27 You can find them in crates or you can put it in your loadout. Or kill someone who has one and pick it up from him. But, dude. I'm going to load out. It's really stressful, man. I mean, the thought of other people that are hunting you and trying to kill you. You get a bounty on you. It just unloads.
Starting point is 01:16:44 Check those bars and those bars go to two. And I switch up kill you. You get a bounty on you. It just unloads. Check those bars, and those bars go to two, and I switch up to three. You know they're inside. Put like 20 rounds on my chest before I even know they're in the room with me. It's just not cool. It's not cool. I'm just like...
Starting point is 01:16:55 I don't think I have a future in this game. They just feast on me, man. I just don't think I have a future. Feast on me. I'm just too much of a bitch. Yeah, that's true. I'm not afraid to admit that. Whatever.

We got anything else, guys? I don't think so. That was a fun epi, though. Had a good time.
Starting point is 01:20:25 Yeah. Anytime we get to imagine Ron Perlman beating the living piss out of Ted Cruz is a good day. It's so lame to sign somebody else up for a fight and talk shit. It really is. That's like me getting in a fight with somebody and then being like, Dylan, can you come out with me? Like, dude, I need your help.
Starting point is 01:20:40 You just step back while I step in for you? It's like trial by combat and you get to choose a champion. I'm not opposed to doing that. Let me be clear. I'm not opposed to having somebody just fight my battles for me if they're more likely to win the fight than I am, but I'm not going to be proud of it. Are we going to get a squad rumble ever?
Starting point is 01:20:56 Ted Cruz put that on his actual timeline. You've got to at least do that in your mentions, hoping that most people miss it. Sorry. Ted, you're better than that. Well, maybe he's not. You're not. Go eat queso.
Starting point is 01:21:08 Should we get out of here? Let's go eat some queso. Bye. You want to go eat queso? Yeah. Let's go eat queso. you
