That's what happens. That's how you know.

That's how you know it's a Dave joint. Brett's here. What's going on? I'm drinking a Waterloo. I have my backup Waterloo when I'm done with the first one. That seems like a lot of Waterloo. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Yeah, you know, when I came back from lunch,

I thought I was done with the first one, and it turns out it was about half full, so. We all just went to lunch together, and I just had a cold brew. Chameleon cold brew, and Dylan reminded me that we have coffee here, in the DeLonghi. Oh, do we?

Great coffee here. Brett made coffee this morning. I did, and it was a debacle. Yeah, he didn't do great. It was an absolute debacle. I forgot the... Well, I... You didn't put a filter in, did you? There's no filter. No, there's no filter. Oh, really? It's unfiltered.

He's never heard of such a thing. Yes, you have, David. This podcast is filterless. But the thing is, there's two water spots because it's an espresso and coffee machine, a two-in-one. Right, two-in-one. So I was putting the water in the espresso spot. And he was wondering why it wasn't brewing coffee.

And I was wondering why it wasn't brewing coffee. So I had to point out to him that A, there's another spot to put water, and B, you're a total dumbass. Yep. I had to point both those things out to him. So did this go better or worse than the time you tried to replace this ceiling tile? Probably about the same. Okay. Probably about the same. Probably about the same.

But you didn't break it, the Delonky, right? No, the Delonky is not broken. Yeah, because that thing was like $1,500. I'm starting to master that thing. Not master it, but I'm getting a good handle on it. It's capable. It can make a... It can do some things. It's tight, man. That's all we want in a coffee maker. It does things? It does things. Yeah.

That's fair. Let's do some housekeeping. I love to housekeep. Some HK? Yeah. Reminder, we've got our South by Meetup, March 17th, 1130, Augustine on Rainy Street. That isn't Tuesday.

That's pretty much the only time he gets on Twitter. He wants to say something to one of us. I like that. Good dude.

Rumors of intern Peyton. Wow. Whoa. And you know she always brings a squad of people that are exclusively above 6'2". Yes. If you roll with Peyton's crew, you're tall. You have to be. It's Peyton.

She's A&M, right? Yes. Okay. Are we going to do our daily shit on A&M bit? We could. I mean, they deserve it. That's all. You have no reason to say that.

I just think it's a cult. A&M, the whole thing is a cult. That's the national. Yeah. Of course. That's kind of the. It is. Everybody I've ever met from A&M, the whole thing. It's a cult. That's the national. Yeah. Of course. That's kind of the. It is. Everybody I've ever met from A&M has the same personality.

Wow. About their school. Have you met Peyton? No, I haven't. Okay. Total sweetheart. That's awesome. She's great.

Like one of the original interns, I think. Maybe. I was shocked when she reached out. Yeah. Well, yeah, but she did a lot for Touching Base, a formerly small-to-midsized podcast, I guess. So how was everybody's weekend? Because you know it is Monday.

It's good. I smoked your ass in golf on Friday. I don't think that happened. Smoked. I don't think that happened, Dave. I beat the shit out of both of y'all at the same time. You weren't even there. That didn't happen either. On golf or like in a fight?

Just in a fight. Oh. We got out of the Pine House? Boxing classes are going to. You guys are so vulnerable right now with how sore you are too. That would be the time to attack. I'm so sore. You still don't want to run up though.

I'm not going to run up on both of you. I could probably take one and then fight the other in like a kind of probably a draw. I don't know man. Okay we'll see. I'll have Klein on my team too so. He's a big old boy. I don't know. Do you think he can fight though? Klein's not the type to throw a

punch though. No. Like you punch Klein he's going to be like man why'd you do that? I'm your friend. Like you're right. I'm sorry. Yeah he'll make you feel bad about it. Before we get into how our weekend went down, can I just take a minute and talk about MeUndies? MeUndies. I'd love to. Intro. Dylan, just stop. Think about this. Imagine your 5th grade

self looking into the future and learning that as an adult, you got an Undies membership. Think about that. Sounds bomb so far. They'd laugh hysterically, right? But joke's on them because MeUndies is known for the super soft undies and their flexible fun membership are you a member not yet well you get you need to be i know sign up if you do choose to sign up you'll get perks like site-wide savings free shipping and new undies delivered to your door each month which is what we get now i have a surplus of underwear courtesy of MeUndies.

It's great. They're generous with the free product. That's for sure. You probably heard that they're the softest undies to ever grace your nethers, and that is true, but it's because they're made with micromodal fabric. Cannot emphasize that enough. Micromodal. What's that?

It's a magical, sustainable, soft as heck fabric made from trees. Yes, trees that make your bits feel like they're floating. I love when my bits float. I wear these things pretty much every day. Pretty much. I'm not the same pair. I'm wearing them right now. I rotate several pairs. Oh, you don't believe me?

You want to see? Pull your pants down. They're designed to be the softest thing you've ever put on your body and offered in a range of sizes from extra small, Brett, to 4XL. Oh, no. Okay. They don't just make undies, though, Brett. They also have loungewear.

They recently had a glow up on that. Check out their new style. Why? Oh, stylee. Excuse me. Micromodal loungewear you can wear in and out of the house. I read that literally. They know they're on every podcast, but that's just because they're looking for true undie domination, which I feel like they have.

They dominate the podcast market, whatever. MeUndies, they've got a great offer for our listeners. For any first-time purchasers, get 15% off and free shipping. It's a no-brainer. They've got the 100% satisfaction guarantee. So to get 15% off your first pair, free shipping, and the guarantee, go to MeUndies.com slash circling back. Again, that's MeUndies.com slash circling back. Yeah, so we have some big news. Okay. I think it's time to just get out of the way.

Kind of teased this earlier, But the reason Will is not here, and the reason we're recording this on Thursday, he doesn't actually even know we're recording this. No. Because as we sit here... His head's so far up his ass, he has no clue. As we sit here, he's in Laguna Beach with Sally. Just on vacation, right?

With his family and with Sally's family. And the reason they are all there together is because they are married. They got married yesterday. You have the volume down, Dave. What was that supposed to be? Tim the Toolman Taylor. Try it again.

You got it from the volume, my dog. Yeah, there it is. That is the official Will and Sally are married chime, I guess. They tied the knot, huh? Yeah. And I don't want to say too much because this is Will's thing to talk about, obviously, and he'll be back. And it hasn't happened yet, so we don't really know how it will happen. Yeah, as we sit here, it hasn't happened yet.

But as you're hearing it, it has happened. It's kind of a weird thing. People will probably know because of social media. Yes. Hopefully we're not breaking news before he's ready for it to break. No, I think he'll be fine with it. I think so, too. And if not, we'll just deal with him when he gets back.

Yeah. I think Sunday night has been the social media embargo. Yeah. Also, Dave and I will be at—we were at the wedding. Oh, Dylan. But we're going to surprise him. He does not know. Sally invited us on the low to show up.

And, of course, they had the reasons for moving the wedding up. It was supposed to be in August in Michigan. Again, we'll explain why it went down the way it did. But, yeah, Dave and I are going. We're going to surprise the boy. So everything we've said in the last couple weeks about people coming into town, plans we're making, it's all been a lie. Yes, we had to keep it discreet.

We had to throw you off our scent. We had to. Yeah, threw me. Sorry for anyone we threw off, including Brett. Threw me for a loop. I had to let Brett know live during a recording just so he wouldn't say something he wasn't supposed to. Yeah.

It was a need-to-know basis thing. So, Dave, you leave tomorrow, which is Friday. Yeah, I'll be there Friday through Monday. And I leave Sunday, which is the day they get married, the day they got married. That's weird. Because Parks has his birthday party Saturday. That actually is happening.

And that's why I can't get up there any sooner. But I'll head out there. I'm so excited to watch these two tie the knot. You're doing how many hours in L.A.? I'll be there for about 20 hours total. I'm just doing one night in and out. Keep it tactical. Tactical wedding.

Got to keep it tactical. So even if I had copped the invite to Parks' birthday party, I wouldn't have been able to go. Right, right. Still should have got that invite. I knew Will would be out of town. Klein lives out of town. Got Brett here.

Brett would have been just Brett. You know, that's lame. No, I can't have that. That's terrible. No one wants that. Would have been fun. Yeah, so I would love to give you details about the wedding because it happened yesterday but it hasn't happened

yet to us so I can't tell you anything I bet it was a great time I bet it was awesome I bet it was very tastefully done I've had this fear because we recorded

this one and Friday's voicemail episode back to back I know what you're gonna say that you were gonna upload the wrong one that I was gonna mix them up I had that thought

that's why I I took it off the card earlier and labeled it so I think we'll be okay but I just feared I was going to spoil the surprise i could see you fucking it up monumentally like that i could too so man the curtain wow the curtain is not it's all the way off now that it's just a behind the scenes look at what's going on here i mean as as long as you didn't like try to um change our platform mid podcast i think you'd be okay. Who would do such a thing? People still think it was a conspiracy, like that we got bought out or something.

Yeah. Oh, really? That would be tight. I saw that get kicked around. Yeah, like, oh, did Spotify acquire these guys mid-pod? Pulled them off iTunes? They'd do something. They'd have to have a pretty substantial four-figure offer before we took that seriously.

Four figs? Maybe five. You've got to think. I'll let you know. If that happens, I'll pull back the curtain mid-pod and announce that. Wow. That's a Brett Merritt guarantee. Spotify just bought us.

Weird. We didn't even talk about it. I feel like we should at least look at the offer. Yeah, I'm excited. I guess I'm going to go back in time. Sure. I'm going to do a real-time how I'm feeling about going to Laguna. Never been.

Never been to L.A. I've flown into LAX, never actually hung out there. I've done SoCal. I've done Del Mar. I guess I've done Newport Beach, which is close. Close enough. I've done one day in L.A. and just hit the hot spots, the whole Hollywood sunset thing, and that's pretty much it.

Yeah, I've got to get my swag up. Yeah. You kind of dress L.A. a little bit these days, though. Yeah, you do. You've got a hoodie and J's. Thanks, man. Working. Yeah.

Tight chinos? Chins. Got my chins. Yeah. Pants so tight they look like they were painted on. But, yeah, I'm very excited. And I can also say it was a great wedding. It was a lot of fun, wasn't it?

I jumped forward in time there. You see what I did? You hit the Quan for like 20 minutes straight. 20 minutes, dude. It was crazy. It was quite the workout. You thought that boxing class was hard. We got tired of you requesting the same song over and over again,

but it was worth it once we saw the Quan. Question, are you and I going to still be sore next week from this class? I don't know, Dave. What if y'all are too sore to dance at the wedding? Catch me electric sliding all over that bitch. Come on. I'm going to, like, pull a lat trying to nay-nay or something. I can't, man.

My arms, back of the shoulders, everything. Do you think Will will be okay with us revealing this? He has to be, right? We needed content. We needed content. He should have taken vacation. What a jerk. He was going to miss Monday's episode regardless, though.

He's back Wednesday night, right? I don't even know the only way he would not is if he wasn't going to reveal it on social media at all because he did mention that he wants a social media embargo for the people there until

it happens they'll announce it on Sunday also they really want people to know that Sally is not pregnant. That's not why they moved the wedding up. They just had their own other reasons that they will explain when they have a chance to. There you go. But she is confirmed not pregnant.

Are you serious? Yeah. I bought a bunch of baby gifts. Oh, did you? Yeah. A little premature. Well, isn't that the truth? Yeah. What were you going to ain't that the truth. Yeah.

What were you going to say, Brett? Something stupid, probably? Yeah, it was something about, like, do we know why it's such a secret, I guess? Yeah. Okay. I don't. It's because they, like, downsized the guest list by a great deal. Yeah.

Myself included. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's,'s like just family and yeah and will doesn't even know that we and some of his like michigan buddies are going to be there it's like just family family and people who are um contractually obligated to be there like us people who are business in business partnerships yeah and so they they wanted they didn't want uh like misinformation getting out there and people wondering, why wasn't I invited to this wedding situation?

They want to avoid all that until they have a chance to explain why. You know weddings be like that sometimes. They do be like that. And again, they'll have their own version of what I just said. Sure. But I think that's just. Makes sense. Check this out.

I had like 14 sponsorships lined up for Will's wedding, so. Did you? Yeah. Oh, that sucks. So we're going to have to bite the bullet on that. I think one of us is just going to have to like. Look, I will fly out to Michigan and fulfill any obligations we might have to a sponsor. Tight.

If I have to. Same. Does that include getting married? Yeah, as we say. Turn it into a golf trip or something. Okay. In tuxedos. Sure.

I'll play whatever you put me in, dog. I'm honestly pretty bummed I can't bring my sticks on this trip. I just want to put that out there. You got to think there's some good golf in the Laguna Beach area. I think there is. The weather looks like it's popping. 60s and sunny. And, you know, I was told I can't bring my gloves, so, oh, too bad.

Hey, you know, me, I'm always trying to work that angle. God, what a wedding that was, though, man. It was a great wedding. I'm kind of bummed that I didn't get to bring my gloves. The fire dancers they had? The belly dancers, how about that? And all the beautiful babies. They even had, like, nude models laid out on the table when we ate sushi off of her.

Yeah, it was kind of demeaning, honestly. It was weird. It was weird. I wasn sushi off of her. Yeah, it was kind of demeaning, honestly. It was weird. It was weird. I wasn't comfortable with it. Yeah. I don't know where to take that one. I don't either.

Sounds fun, though. I think we're in balance talking about it. We got a job to do. Sure. We're content guys, first and foremost. Team content over everything. That's what my tat says. Content over weddings. What would you have to see from the patrons, the backers, the optos,

to get team content tattooed? Team content? Team content. I don't know, but I would incorporate the Micah shadow from my broken leg video somehow in said tattoo. You know what I'm talking about? When he's running up to record me? And it's so funny because you can just see a silhouette of him

holding a camera or a phone running up to me as I'm sitting there writhing in pain from my broken leg. It's so clearly him too in that silhouette. Yeah, yeah. I would get a still of that with team content. Hashtag team content somewhere. If you had a scar, if you had surgery

from that, you could get a tattoo right above it. It says team content, so people ever ask, what's that scar from? Well, let me show you this video. I was trying to get rim. Got rim. You got rim. You got RIM. Okay.

Thank you. You actually getting RIM is kind of what started the whole chain of events of what happened. If you missed RIM, you would have just landed and been fine. In hindsight, you know, I wouldn't take it back. Okay. Because we got some content out of it. You are team content. I got some sympathy out of it from people.

They send you a... Not sympathy. A crowd-sourced got some sympathy out of it from people. They send you a... Not sympathy. A crowd-sourced bouquet of roses or something like that. Some guy hit his group text up. Yeah. Yeah. It's a mail-in callback, guys. I hope whoever that guy was that hit us up on the mail-in,

if you don't listen, go subscribe, leave a review to the mail-in podcast. I hope he follows up with us, because I want to know. Honestly, I'm not going to ask him to screenshot his group text but if he did I wouldn't be mad at him because I just am so taken aback by it. Yeah. This guy, we'll just

say it. He asked his girl, okay. His girlfriend fractured an ankle, got a walking boot not even a cast. And then he hit up this, not the guy who emailed us. The guy who emailed us was involved in this because he was in the group text with that guy. And that guy emailed the group or texted the group text and said, hey, man, you know, she broke her ankle, fractured it. Thinking about getting some flowers for a bouquet, something nice.

If y'all want to chip in. So far, so good. Oh, y'all want to chip in. Y'all want to throw down. So it's not all on me. You know, her boyfriend. Yeah. It wasn't a substantial surgery she went through.

It was pretty common. She fractured her ankle. And was not in a cast. It was so minor that she could walk on it. I'm sorry. If you want to hear our full thoughts on that, go check out last week's mail-in. But That was That was unbelievable

So Will and Sally huh Sally DeFreeze Sally DeFreeze How's that Sally DeFreeze How was the shout Or is it Shout was great Or is it Will Young

Did he take her last name That's We don't know We don't know People are going to call him Will Young It's kind of a tight name actually Yeah I don't hate it Fritz Isn't that his middle name William Fritz Young People are going to call him Will Young. It's kind of a tight name, actually. Yeah.

I don't hate it. Fritz, isn't that his middle name? William Fritz Young? William Fritz Young. Uh-huh. DeFries is a pretty good name. It is. Yeah. It's unique.

It's iconic for him. There's a lot you can do with it. Speaking of names, check out this transition. Do you guys see what Bone did To their name I'm not I'm not Happy about it Bone Thugs in Harmony

You're talking about This got sent to me Like ten times And I didn't click it Because I was like This seems like A gimmick

It doesn't seem real This seems like an onion thing And Finally I did click on it And saw that it was In fact real And I'm not happy about it I know Dylan's

Really not happy about it As the noted Bone Thugs-N-Harmony fan here. Oh, yeah. I'm a big Bone guy. Everybody knows that. They do Gangster's Paradise, right? No, they don't. Okay. That's Coolio.

They do Budsmokers only like we were talking about at lunch today. Did you really think they did Gangster's Paradise? No, that's Coolio. Horrendously out of touch with- I can't ever tell. That's a good thing. Dude, first of the month. Speaking of Gangsta's Paradise, if you were at the skating rink in like fifth grade and that song came on, everybody got fucking lit, man.

That's the song that got all the time. Got out there. You started skating around and going fast. Absolutely. Grinding while you're skating. That was the song in fifth grade. Come on. Oh, yeah.

You want to know what My Generations was? Some stupid ass. Boots with the fur? Candy Shop, dog. Okay. You know Candy Shop and Magic Stick are the same song.

It's the same damn song. They just changed the chorus. I'm going to have to go take a look. It's the same shit, dog. I got the magic... Magic Stick's a better song. I got the magic stick.

Take me to the candy shop. See? It's the same shit. I know if I can hit once, I can hit twice. That's how it goes. Sounds like a. I know if I can hit once, I can hit twice. That's how it goes. Sounds like a Christmas song. Your reflection is way off.

I can hit twice. It's not a show tune, Dave. You know the other one we had? Candy shop. Hello, my baby. Hello, my darling. Candy shop and one, two step. Sierra.

When that song comes on. Sierra. That's essential. The wife of Russell Wilson. One, two step. Harry Con song comes on. Sierra. That's essential. Noted wife of Russell Wilson. One two step. Harry Connick Jr. That's exactly what it sounds like. So Bone Thugs.

What were we talking about? Oh, yeah. Boneless Thugs. From Rolling Stone. Bone Thugs and Harmony changed name to Boneless Thugs and Harmony for Buffalo Wild Wings. Buffalo Wild Wings getting a lot of free stuff on this pod the last couple weeks, thanks to me. Well, that's why this is paying off.

I need to know what the dollar figure was here, how much they sold themselves out for. So apparently three of the four members of Bone wanted to do this, and they've got one holdout, and it's Lazy Bone. And Lazy, he says, is not on board with the new boneless identity. His quote, I ain't changing shit.

Respect. Yeah. In addition to the overarching name swap, three members of the group will also go by new monikers. Crazy Bone, Flesh and Bone,

and Wishbone are now Crazy Boneless, Flesh and Boneless, and Wishboneless. Oh, no. Dude, I love Crazy Bone. He was my favorite. I love all of them, man.

All right? And this hurts 13-year-old me quite a bit. Apparently, a marketing agency reached out to them on behalf of Buffalo Wild Wings. And it happened. Their quote, the Boneless Wings are so good, what if they made Bone Thugs-N thugs in harmony have an identity crisis? This is tough. They still tour.

They were in Austin for Batfest last year. Have we checked Black Twitter? See what they have to say about this? I have not. I'm sure they're having fun on the TL. Honestly, like I said, I was trying to avoid it because it was kind of just depressing. Yeah. Like, get money, get paid, do what you got to do.

But this is an all-time sellout, right? Oh, an all-time sellout. Change your name? It would be like the people who own the rights to the Almond Brothers Band if they changed it to the Almond Brothers Band if they changed it to the Almond Brothers Band for almonds, like big emerald almonds. Here's a question. What would be the circling back

equivalent? Circling You'd probably have to do something with back. Right. Circling back. We just sell out for the actors. Nantucket Tourism Board and just be circling Ack. You don't get that. You're not a Nantucket guy, Dylan.

No, we live here. I noted non-Nantucket guy. The Nantucket airport three-letter code is ACK. Okay. I once knew a man from Nantucket. What'd he do? Anyway. Touching base would have been easier to sell out.

Yeah. Like Westlake Dermatology, touching face. Yeah, you do touching face. Think about it. Ace of spades, champagne, you do touching ace. Oh, dude. You know I only sip Dom, so. Yeah, you know that about Dave?

Dave brought his own Dom to the Freeze Young wedding. I did. Oh, dude. You know I only said Dom, so. Yeah, you know a little about Dave? Dave brought his own Dom to the Freeze Young wedding. I did. It was weird. It's weird because it hasn't happened yet. You got one for Dylan, too, right? No. For himself, man. He's selfish.

Dylan's in the corner drinking champagne, though. Why do... It's weird since it hasn't happened yet. Right, right, right. You gotta buy a Dom. People are really confused. Bottle of Dom for like 200 bucks at a liquor store, and then you go into a club and it's five grand. It'll ever catch you. Right, right, right. People are really confused. You can buy a bottle of Dom for like $200 at a liquor store, and then you go into a club and it's $5,000.

It'll never catch you. It's weird. It's almost like the markup on bottles is really crazy. It's a little bit. Bottle service markups are, you know what? If I become president, that's where I'm attacking. That's your first order of business? Bottle service markups.

You got my vote, Brett. Thank you, Dave. Anything else on bone thugs? I saw somebody said we should be. Did you ever listened to ghetto cowboy sorry which one is that we talked about this last week and you weren't familiar with it but i was like you'll know when you hear it ghetto cowboy yeah let me look it up i don't know man and it's gonna bother it i'm telling you i'm shocked that you'll know when you hear it and you'll be like dude i used to love this song in high school it for some reason is a song that doesn't get any love anymore and it's a great song somebody on twitter said that they should really sell out and be

boneless thugs in e-harmony honestly that's less egregious you think at least people are hooking up having sex instead of having the wings. You know, you haven't really broken into the influencer market with elderly, or not elderly, but middle-aged people like Boneless, Thugs, and Harmony are. Oh, Dave, I know this song very well. He's literally listening to it. You better count your money. It's a great song.

Yeah. You better count your money. Keep going. That's all I'm going to do for now. That's a great song, man. You better count your money. I a great song yeah you better count your money keep going that's all i'm gonna do for now that's a great song i mean it was i sing too much on this part i'll stop i think i think you should sing more i think you're you got a good voice dave thanks did you hear his joke about bone uh bone thugs and it wasn't it was my joke it was harmony eHarmony. That's pretty good. Yeah, that made sense. You know what? I hate to see it happen, but they're not exactly selling out arenas anymore. No, they're not playing a big venue.

They want to cash in. I'm hoping they all did quite well on this deal. You got to think it wasn't a big number. If you go search them on Spotify, does their old name still pop up, or do they repopulate that? Good question. Surely Spotify is not on board with this. I'll check it out on iTunes.

Okay. Speaking of bands selling out, my favorite band of all time is getting a lot of flack for their high ticket prices. Oh, no. Rage Against the Machine, to be exact. That's who I'm talking about. Well, isn't it a comeback tour? Or a farewell tour?

Is it like a... No, they haven't put out a new album since 2001 or something. Actually, 2000. Apple Music has not recognized the change in name. That's good to know. Yeah. But, yeah, ticket prices for Rage, they're doing select venues. But yeah, ticket prices for Rage, they're doing select venues.

It's like $350 for lower bowl, for floor seats, $150 cheapest ticket. Very expensive for a band that is known for criticizing capitalism and the evils of. People are exposing them a little bit. I don't think it's their fault. And to be clear, a lot of that money, I think most of it, if not all of it, is going to causes they support. There's always been that charitable aspect of rage. But I saw them getting a lot of shit on Twitter.

I'm not sure if I'm going yet. They're not playing Austin, the closest place I think might be El Paso, which is not close at all. It's about nine hours away, to be honest. That drive to El Paso has which is not close at all. It's about nine hours away, to be honest. That drive to El Paso has to be something, like boring? I've done it. It's not fun. It's one of the worst drives you can make.

Yeah. But, yes, I don't know. I'm thinking about if I can find a crew to go to, like, fly to Boston or fly to, I think there's a Phoenix show, i would be down to go do it but i gotta find people willing to do it so that's mainly for kj i'm waiting for kj to tell me he wants to go and once he tells me that i'll i'll pull trig i've noticed that the uh and the few tours i've seen announced that like dave matthews is skipping texas all together i believe that seems weird that he usually does the woodlands Amphitheater, whatever that is in Houston.

It's north. Woodlands stinks. Okay. I just say that there's a longstanding Duncanville Woodlands beef from high school. Yeah. Not a major beef, but just a minor one. Woodlands is fine.

I know some fine people from there. Also the home of Blue Jack National. Is that where Blue Jack is? Yes, it is. Is Klein a member there? No. No, he's just played there. He has a connect.

Yes. We need to get a hold of that connect and go out there. I believe it's the closest thing you can come to playing at Gusta without playing at Gusta. Right, you're the biz dev guy. I want you to develop that business. At Blue Jack National? Yeah.

I'll DM Titor, see what he says. Thank you. I'd love to see what his DMs look like. Do you think they're open on anything? Or does Titor Woods have a burner on either platform? He does not put off burner fights. No, he's not a burner guy. I'm going to argue he does.

I'm comparing him to KD. On Instagram only. He doesn't have a Twitter burner, but he's got an IG burner. Like just for creeping? Yeah. Okay, maybe. Yeah. Dylan, what's your burner?

I will not say. I don't have a burner. Come on. I heard you have a burner on Reddit, and you go in there and toss and shade at us. That'd be funny. Kind of messed up, too. But unfortunately, no, I don't.

Not a burner guy. Do you like that joke when someone gases up somebody and somebody responds, oh, we found Will's burner? Yeah, yeah. It's pretty funny. It's funny. It's all right. What else?

All kinds of stuff, David. Can we talk about Postmates let's do it you know when you need a red wine at four sushi at nine breakfast burrito at eight uh Dylan ibuprofen at 10 a.m. Postmate it I've been using it a lot I said this last weekend I went back to back I'll probably do that again very soon.

is this my new favorite? We're a week late on this one. My favorite segment. Is this non-breaking news? This is non-breaking news. Brett, you brought this up before the pod, so I'm going to let you intro it. Sure, this is going around on Twitter last week. There's some virality to it.

There was some virality to it. It's talking about movies that scarred you as a child. Not Scar Jo, per se, although she may have left a mark. But movies that scarred you probably, not physically, but mentally as a child. Not physically. Yeah, I have

one that sticks out immediately, and that is Wizard of Oz. Oh, you weren't a flying monkey guy, were you? I wasn't a flying monkey guy. The witch, the wicked witch, that is. She scared the shit out of me, man. Because she was so wicked. Yeah, the legs sticking out from under that shed,

you know, the whole thing. That leg was a lot. And have you heard the, there are like conspiracies about that movie too. But they actually killed a person with a house? No, I think that's it. No, I don't think that was it either, Brett. There's some ominous sounding

song that goes along to the... Something. The Dark Side of the Moon album. I think I've done this. They say if you press play, the lion's roar, for the MGM or whatever, whatever the movie production company is

you press play on dark side of the moon they say that if you turn down the the audio on the movie it the songs coincide with what's happening yeah like matches up with what's going on on the and i think it's it's it's kind of a stretch i think for the first few you're like oh okay i could see that i don't know who the hell would ever think of that i think pink floyd has come out denied it yeah said it's bullshit but it's something everybody's done everybody's smoked shitty okay, I could see that. I don't know who the hell would ever think of that. I think Pink Floyd has come out and denied it. Yeah. Said it's bullshit, but it's something everybody's done. Everybody's smoked shitty weed and tried to do that.

Even if that's not true, the movie still creeped me out when I was a kid. It's a metaphor for like, like whatever, like the gold standard. There's a lot of like political relevance to it at the time. Like, cause they were talking about getting on or getting off the gold standard and they got the yellow brick road. There's just a lot of the man behind the curtain. There's like,

there's a lot of weird metaphors. Yeah. There's, you gotta be on acid to come up with a story. Unfortunately I'm not. So I can't explain it. I don't do pods on acid. Alice in Wonderland is,

is the same kind of deal where it's supposed to be basically an acid trip. Well, that's just what... Yeah, I think that one more so, though. Like, Alice in Wonderland was just absolutely psychedelic-inspired. Wizard of Oz, I think people were just kind of reading into it more. I don't know. Those monkeys, though, and the witch, man. It was very creepy.

Very creepy. I got it. Scarecrow always freaked me out, too, even though he was like a good guy. It was uncomfortable watching that movie. Yeah. For real. Tin Man creeped me out, too. He was made of tin.

Yeah. He only had a brain. He didn't have a brain. Yeah. He didn't have a brain. That's tough. You hate to see that. It's weird that he was able to communicate without the brain.

Right. Although, did that movie give us Somewhere Over the Rainbow? Yes. Somewhere. One of the best. Right. Although, did that movie give us Somewhere Over the Rainbow? Yes. One of the best covered songs. See, we're not singing anymore, Dylan. Over the rainbow. Okay, Michael Bublé over here. Fucking crooner.

Oh, yeah. Got it, dog. There was a production of Wizard of Oz on ice. That scared me pretty bad back in the day. On ice? Yeah. They did the movie thing on ice. You're soft, dude. Shut up, dude. You said it freaked you out, too. back in the day. On ice? Yeah. They did the movie thing on ice. You're soft, dude.

Shut up, dude. You said it freaked you out, too. Yeah, the movie. Yeah, I can't imagine something on ice freaking me out. The only thing I'm scared of on ice is Darian Hatcher. Pirouettes on ice skates, man. Get out of here. Dude, they had the fucking monkeys and the tornado sounds and the speakers in the rink.

The tornado freaked me out. Yeah. Yeah. It just carried that house around. Yeah. With the person on the rink? The tornado freaked me out. Yeah. Yeah. It just carried that house around. Yeah. With the person on the bike outside? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I think they didn't make it.

Creepy movie. What are y'all's answers? It, the original It, Stephen King's. Well, that's supposed to creep you up. I never saw the original. I know. It scared the shit out of me, though. You never saw the original? Never saw the original. It scared the shit out of me, though. You never saw the original?

Never saw the original. It's a little long. Clowns, man. Is that the one with the clowns in the sewer? Correct. Penny-wise. Get me out of... I did see the new one, though.

I did not. Pretty creepy. That's what I hear. I can tell you what freaked out my cousin. I have a vivid memory of being like four years old and seeing Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Really? In theater.

Don't spoil it. I'm about to. I remember that. One of the opening scenes, the villain takes one of the tunes, because you know it's the humans and you've got the cartoons and they're acting together. Sure. He takes one of the cartoons and puts it in a barrel of acid and melts it.

And my cousin, she started crying when we had to leave. Oh, dang. Which, looking back, I remember being like, oh, God, this is so embarrassing. I kind of get it because, like, hearing about that now, it's kind of freaking me out. I was just a tough kid. You're a badass, dude. We get it. No, not anymore.

Now I can't even take a boxing class without tweaking literally every muscle in my back. You know what they say about those classes, man? They hit muscles you don't know exist. I said that before the pod. I feel like everybody says that when they do something. Brett, you were a kid like two years ago, so which movie scared you? You're cucking my bits now. I'm just kidding.

Go ahead. I have two. One is The Lion King. I didn't love the Mufasa dying scene. That still gets me. That's like a little freak out thing. And then the other is the Jimmy Neutron movie. You guys ever see Jimmy Neutron?

No. He's a Nickelodeon cartoon. In 2001, they came out with a movie. So I was six years old, where all the parents got kidnapped and sent to space. And so I was like, dude, there's aliens are going to come down

and steal mom and dad for a long time. Didn't like that movie. Didn't happen though, did it? No, didn't. Damn. Jimmy Neutron movie really fucked your boy up. Jimmy Neutron. I got to think that most people aren't getting scarred for life from Jimmy Neutron.

I wouldn't say for life, but it got me for a little bit. You look pretty shaken up talking about it, dude. I am, man. The movie Signs. Not Signs, excuse me. Fire in the Sky. Different alien movie. Fire in the Sky.

My dad took me to see it. It's about an alien abduction story. So similar to Jimmy Neutron, only not. Got it. Based on allegedly true events. Someone's encounter. That scared the shit out of me. You should go check out Fire in the Sky if you're into that kind of stuff.

I did say the movie Signs. That didn't scar me, but that was a good movie. It was. Mel Gibson. Joaquin Phoenix. You movie Signs. That didn't scar me, but that was a good movie. It was. Mel Gibson, Joaquin Phoenix. You seen Signs? I saw Signs, yeah. I thought that was well done.

It's been a minute, but. You probably related to the Joaquin Phoenix character. Oh, with the baseball bat? Yeah. Because, you know, you're the baseball guy. Yeah. The guy, he could never hit the big one. Was that like right before Mel Gibson kind of lost his mind?

Yeah. Correct. Post-Patriot days. Turns out he's pretty racist. Anti-Semitic as well. Yes. Hate to see it. Somehow still making movies. He was at the Sabres game the other night in Ottawa.

Clearly filming a role because he looked very disheveled. Dude, that's how he is now. But he was tan and beefed up a bit. Oh, really? Disheveled is the wrong word, but it was purposely long beard and gray and tan. He was definitely filming something.

Okay. I'm looking forward to whatever role that may be. My favorite, when they show a guy out in the wild who's clearly preparing for a role, my favorite's two three my top three Daniel Day-Lewis okay uh Christian Bale yep McConaughey so three borderline method actors is what you're saying yes yeah I don't know if McConaughey isn't a necessarily one but I know Daniel Day-Lewis is. Christian Bale, I have to think, is, right? If he's not, he's definitely like a wannabe method actor.

I have another movie. You guys ever see Alive? Is that where they eat each other? Yeah. I've never seen it, but I'm familiar with the story. Based on a true story. The soccer team, right? The soccer team went down in the mountains of Chile. The Andes.

Right. Of course. And they were not rescued for a very long time, and so they had to eat each other. They had to eat the dead bodies. Cannibal. Of the plane crash. So they let them die, or they killed them? The original fine young cannibals. Well, there's a plane crash, and some people died during the plane crash.

Sure. Oh, yeah. And of course, because it was very cold there, preserved the and they uh oh started to eat them how did they cook them they have like a trigger on the plane i don't recall i think they had a george foreman grill actually come on someone had in there i'm kidding bread fucking being serious. Little human patties? I forgot how they cooked it. Maybe they just put, I don't know. It was uncomfortable. I have no desire to see that movie. It's not a great movie.

It's just like, oh, fuck. Is the whole thing just building up to that moment, or is there a lot more to it? No, there's more to it. A plane flies overhead like a couple days after they crash, building up to that, to that moment, or is there a lot more to it? No, there's more to it. They, a plane flies overhead, like a, like a couple days after they crash, and they thought they were spotted,

but they assumed like, oh, the plane flew overhead, they saw us, so we're going to be rescued in a day at tops. They like started eating all the, the snacks that they had, and the,

they had water, they like rationed the water out, and they're like, oh, if we're bringing you to rescue, let's go ahead and finish our shit. And they didn't, they didn't come.

Damn. See, that's why I always keep a flare gun on me. Pull it out right now. I never show that publicly. I'm not going to show you my flare gun. I bet you have one in your car.

I don't speak of that, but I might. It's in the trunk. When I pull trunk, Brett. Yeah. There's a lot you don't talk about publicly. Just, you know, some things are better left unsaid. Like, oh, you want to know if I got a flare gun, Brett? Yeah. There's a lot you don't talk about publicly. Just, you know, some things are better left unsaid. You want to know if I got a flare gun deal?

Find out. Okay. You pop trunk? You'll catch a flare to the face. Please don't. One that was prime time, like my age group, was the ring. I don't remember that one. Yeah, I just sold it.

I had a lot of money on that deal. Never mind. You want to work for me? Bill Simmons. It's a Bill Simmons voice. Yeah. Will would have liked it. All right.

I honestly don't even know what he sounds like. Go ahead. No, The Ring is scary. No, The Ring is a scary movie. It's the chick crawling out of the well, right? Yeah, out of the well. And then whenever your phone would ring after that, you thought you were going to be murdered.

No, I never thought that. We don't have wells. We don't really run wells here. Do you have wells on your ranch? A well? Water well? Yeah, you do? Of course.

All right, well. Not like the traditional, like you drop a bucket down and pull water up. Not that kind. Like old school. That's what I was thinking no interesting uh yeah no the ring the ring was uh oh dude saw yeah i was like later for me in life but that still freaked me out when i saw saw i i knew i called it within the first like three minutes that it was the guy on the floor oh you're that guy yeah i called it right away you're that guy. Yeah, I called it right away. You're a call-em-out guy. Wait, who was it? I'm trying to remember.

Like the actor? No, I'm just trying to remember how that whole movie went down. The first one, there was a dead body in this room that they were all like, they were all handcuffed to shit inside the room or something, right?

And there's a dead body, like blood coming from his brain and all that on the middle of the floor. He was actually alive. He was the one calling the shots. He set up the whole game. That guy. Seems like a very intricate plan without like the payoff.

I really hope I'm not messing this up because I will be corrected on numerous platforms socially. Probably just multi-platforms. Yeah, multi-platform corrections. Last one I'll speak on Disturbia Remember the Shia LaBeouf one Love Rihanna Disturbia

Is that how it goes? Disturbia That's a great song You know I love RiRi Bad girl RiRi Bad girl RiRi She bad too. Never met a Rihanna guy.

What were you talking about? Disturbia is a Shia LaBeouf one where his neighbor has what looks to be dead bodies in his garage and stuff like that. And he can see it through the window. And the super hot chick comes over and he's like, look it, look it, look it. And then it turns out he doesn't, but then somebody else does. It's a whole thing. Wait, he doesn't what?

The neighbor doesn't have dead bodies in his garage. Oh. Someone else does? Somebody else does. Who's the super hot chick? Sarah Romer is her name. Oh, dude, she's gone on to do a lot of other roles. Ha.

I don't know who that is. I'm sure she's fine. She's gorgeous. Okay. She's doing well, then. Yeah, she's probably married sure she's fine. She's gorgeous. Okay. She's doing well then. Yeah, she's probably married a shipping magnate. Chad Michael Murray, actually. Oh, is he the kid that played Jonathan Taylor Thomas in Home Improvement?

No, that was Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Oh, it was? Then who's Brett talking about? Chad Michael Murray? He's best known for playing Lucas Scott in One Tree Hill. They got to stop using their middle names so egregiously. Just say Chad Murray. Or does that sound too much like a SEC backup?

Yeah, Chad Murray. Chad Murray. Chad Murray's a quarterback at Arkansas. Like highly recruited, dual threat, but just never put it together. Perennial backup, you know, got a Scully out of it. I think it's funny that Michael beat Jordan, just those that be in there, so you don't confuse him with the basketball player. He had to. He had no choice.

He had to. It was either that or just change his name altogether. Yeah. Yeah. Chad Michael Murray's a Buffalo guy, though. Okay, so that's why we're doing this. Here's his spouse's situation. Of course, it goes back to fucking New York.

He's a Western New York guy, too. He's from Texas. I pick my spots, bro. Sophia Bush, married for one year, and Sarah Romer, married currently. Not bad. That's exciting. Cool.

That's all I have on Chad Michael Murray. Anything else on the viral trends for today? I have breaking news in a bit. I want Brett's breaking news, and I want it right now. Hold on. Oh, wait. We got an important announcement. Let me get something out of the way first.

This is very important. I don't think we've announced this yet on Circling Back, but the Roback promo code has changed. Are you kidding? What? It was compromised, the last one. That pisses me off. So now it is Rosie20.

R-O-S-I-E 20. And you will get 20% off your order if you're a first-time purchaser at rollback.com. Dave and I wear the performance tees on the daily at the gym. I'm wearing one of their vests as we speak. Absolutely goes. And it does. They've got new polos coming out all the time, and they're sick. If you send your first-time purchase, proof of purchase, to Will on Instagram,

he will respond back with a video of himself saying something hilarious. Wow. Also, you think he's going to listen to this pod? No. I've been told that they're out of stock in certain hat colors. It's not my fault, nor can I fix it. No, it's definitely on you. This is definitely your fault.

Let Brett know how you feel about that on Twitter and on Reddit, especially Reddit and Instagram if you're really feeling. Across all platforms, really. Multi-platform. I'm a multi-platform guy. Launch your own podcast called What the Fuck, Brett? And just vent about the rowback problem that Brett's having. What's going wrong?

Yeah, I will listen to it. I'll listen. I'll give it my business. Will you rate, though? I'll rate it. Three? Three to five. Yeah.

Oh, okay. Dave, I have a capital punishment thing here for you. Is this Brett's breaking news? Yeah, this is. Okay. This guy in Tennessee, Nick Sutton, he chose his last meal before being executed tonight. Okay.

By the way, this is last Thursday, so RIP this guy. He was a real scumbag by all accounts. He's dead. Chose the electric chair, but... Do they still do the electric chair? In Tennessee, apparently. What are your options? Feels cruel and inhumane.

Whatever you want. Oh. Well, not whatever you want. I mean, so that's to be executed, yes. It might be better than getting a lethal injection in Oklahoma. Yeah. Isn't that so topical for you? Wait, why?

Because they fuck up the drugs. Like a good amount of the time, and you usually don't die immediately. It's a fucked up deal. You got to fix that. Yeah. Anyway, I want you to rate this guy's meal. Can I guess? Yes.

Can I guess just like the main portion? Rate this guy's death row meal. He was 58, so I don't know if that makes a difference. 58 years old. It doesn't. It would for, I feel like if you're young, you're going to go like pizza if you're 22. I was thinking like chicken strips. Is anything off the table?

Can you ask for whatever you want? As your last meal? Yeah. I don't think they're going to fly into Austin and get Franklin's for you. You can't order like specific from specific places. But you can say I want barbecue. Right. Right.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. My guess was chicken strips because I figured this had some tie-in to me, but. All right. Nope. Okay.

How about you just tell us, man? Fried pork chops. Right. Okay. Fried potatoes with gravy and peach pie with vanilla ice cream. You know, I bet that goes. I bet it does, too. Man, I don't know.

Just eating that, that's going to make me kind of tired. I'm going to put on a little bit of belly fat. I just don't know if I want that. You'll be dead soon after. Yeah, but I'm trying to get a fit off in my casket. I just want to make sure my suit fits me. You don't want to look bloated? Yeah, you know.

in my casket. So it's like, I just want to make sure my suit fits me. You don't want to look bloated? Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. I'm still thinking about which way I would... I would pick lethal injection.

You think? Yeah. You gotta think it's just like... I would go catapult. It's just like turn the light switch off. I would go old school, like medieval catapult,

like that they would launch people over the... or boulders at like castles. I would want them to just catapult me like really fucking high into the air. Guillotine?

Guillotine, dude, the thing with guillotines is you're still like conscious for a good seven seconds afterwards. Yeah. I don't want that, I don't think. No, that's true. That's a lethal injection, I'm telling you. I mean, I've held a dog that was put down

and it was like they just went to sleep. Oh, that's, I don't want to think about that. That's a real downer. Well, it was like they just went to sleep. Oh, that's... I don't want to think about that. That's a real downer. Well, it was peaceful considering the situation. Okay. Buddy, you okay? That was my stomach. That was not peaceful.

We're digesting over here, folks. We had a hell of a lunch today. We did. All three of us ate salmon. It was... Yeah, we had bonus salmon. Three guys, one fish. We just ate, one fish.

We just ate that fucking fish. It was good. That's weird. Brett got his with a salad. What other news do you have, dog? Really, that's it. Why was that news? That wasn't that crazy. It was a pretty basic meal.

No, I'm not saying, because it happened today. Oh, okay. As in Thursday. I thought you were going to say he wanted a million M&Ms or something. Yeah, I thought he ordered something real wild. Normally, that's what those stories do. I just like the meal he put together. I do too.

No, it's a well-done meal. Shout out to him. We don't condone what you've done and convicted for. He's killed four people at four different ages, like three when he was 18 and one when he was 38 by stabbing his inmate partner 38 times. Like one for each year he'd been on this earth? Yeah, it's kind of weird how he did that.

Why did he go 38 too? Instead of candles, it was stabbings? Anyway. That would be very different. Most people on their birthday are doing candles, not stabbings. Yeah, you don't see that too often. No. I guess that's how you get the electric chair in Tennessee.

Well, look, congrats to the newlyweds. Brett, did you have something else? No. No, the internet's pretty dead today. He's not like Dan. Okay. Shouts to Dan. Dan just texted me.

It's tough doing breaking news on a Monday when it's a Thursday. And we've already talked about most things. It is no longer breaking. The only other thing I kind of had on the list was the NFL CBA came out, or the proposed CBA, about adding a seventh team to the playoffs. Let's go. We them boys. Need all the help we can get, right?

It just feels like that is too much of an advantage for the one seed. You know? I haven't read into it much. I feel like if there's one league that does not need anything to change in their playoff format, it is the NFL. Playoff wildcard Saturday, sick. So this. Playoff Saturday, wild card Saturday, sick. Everybody likes it. So this would add a game to wild card Saturday, right?

Or at least wild card weekend. Yeah, presumably. I kind of like the structure of it. You've got the early game and the late game. The timing. Each day. The structure. Dylan wouldn't get it.

Dylan wouldn't get it. I don't care right now. Dylan's done. Yeah. And then there's a baseball one, too, that I haven't read into, which is like a team can pick who they play in the playoffs, something like that. We talked about this.

Did we? Yeah. I must have been zoning. You must have been. This is maybe the podcast where you were trying to frantically get our platform reestablished. That could be the one. I actually think that was it. I definitely checked out during that segment to try to save the podcast.

We are adamantly against it, I think. Okay. I feel like we would be. Manfred gets stepped down. He sucks, dude. How do you botch a thing as bad as he's botched this? I kind of have a little bit of sympathy for him on the metal. It's a piece of metal thing.

He said it poorly, but I understand the point he was trying to make. Talking about the Astros thing, Dylan. But I don't understand. Do PR agencies not exist anymore? Are they just getting... Who is running... Astros are a very big operation. MLB is obviously a giant operation. How do they not have the best PR experts in the world?

I don't know. It's a good question. Especially this day and age when, like, everything you put out on social or anywhere can be taken 17 different ways like that let's run that by somebody who knows what they're doing i know that's what we do at wash media llc sure i'm really looking forward to making married guy jokes to will i just i just thought of that yeah what's like what is it like dad jokes, pretty much. Just kind of like outdated. Sure. You know, just kind of like, oh, man.

Old ball chain. Are you waiting on her? That's weird. Yeah. That's a good one. That is a really good one. Why is that the voice that people associate with married guys? It's weird.

Will doesn't sound anything like that. I think those are the guys who do those jokes unironically at this point. Are we ever going to see Will again outside of work? No. Good question, man. We already don't see him. He loves to avoid us. What is it?

He does a lot of dinners with people. Is he just cooler than we are? He doesn't want to be seen around town. He's in like high Austin society. Me and you are just like

fucking the Pesanovante. Whoa. Peasants. I don't get it, man. I know. I thought we were cool. Dylan and I were over here pushing midsize SUVs.

Yeah. Going to boxing classes and shit. Going to boxing classes, learning how to throw combos, four-piece combo. What's up? Yeah, you don't want that. We're doing that.

I'm going to message Andy. We're going to do it tomorrow. Once a week? Once a week. If we can get twice, let's do it. Because whatever, I can't feel like this every week. We'll get used to it. I know.

Sure, sure. Brett, maybe you can. I don't know. We'll see. I don't know if Brett can handle it. I don't know. I don't want him in there embarrassed. That hair, too.

You sweat a lot with that hair? Yeah, I'll throw a headband on or something like that. Or I'll just throw a hat. Did you think the guys in that class like not andy but like the other ones do you think any of them were like actual fighters they're just guys like us who've just been to the class guys like us yeah because this is a pretty base level yeah boxing situation yeah you're gonna fight shitto is that what i heard i don't want to smoke from Shido. He's a big dude, man. He's a thick boy.

You said he's got 30 pounds on you. Were you talking about me or you? I think he's talking about you. He's got dad legs, man. His legs probably... He's got a strong base. Okay. And that hair. I don't want to fight anybody with hair like that.

I mean, I just feel like y'all match up weight class-wise. He might be around my weight. I really don't know. So you think you might do some kind of deal? Like, were you actually... No, I don't. I don't plan to fight anybody ever. Okay.

If you could... I've been looking for somebody just to come beat the piss out of me. So has he. I know, but that's the problem. Yeah. It's like those two things cancel out. You know why two magnets can't, like, touch each other? Maybe I'll just beat both of your asses. I would like that very problem. Yeah. It's like those two things cancel out. You know why two magnets can't touch each other? Maybe I'll just beat both of your asses.

I would like that very much. Okay. You know how they do the NFL? I'm going to have Patrick Mahomes' arm. I'm going to have Tom Brady's brain. Sure. You could build your ideal internet personality. I need some time to think.

No, no, no. I need some time to take. We're doing this. We just hit an hour. We can kill a little time here. This is good. If you could build your ideal internet personality. I'll start. I'll just go quick.

So it jumps your memory, your thoughts. I'm going to take Mike's legs. Wait, wait, wait. Are we doing. I thought you're doing internet personality. So we're taking physical attributes from the internet. There's no rules. It's just right. Okay. Are we building

a fighter or an internet personality? Or both. Or both. Because Michael's legs don't contribute to being a good online personality. Then let's do internet personality. I'm so confused about this. Me too. You just changed the rules. It was your idea. How are you confused? I was building a physical specimen. Okay. Well, then you

set it up terribly. Does this count? But you could take any celeb that's on Twitter, and they're technically an internet personality. So you could just say, oh, I want the Rocks build. You know what I mean? I guess you could, yeah. I'll take Micah's legs, too.

He's got great legs. Okay. I'm going to take Micah's legs. I'm going to take Dylan's, like, forearms. My forearms? Yeah. What? Do I have good forearms?

Are we tracking packages? They're solid. Yeah. They're pretty good. I'm going to take Dave's brain. Thanks. I'm going to take Will's beard. I'm just kind of picking my favorite features of each of you guys.

All right. So this is kind of a guess. Okay. My favorite features of mine are apparently my forearms. That is what you're known for. I didn't know that. For some reason, your right one's a lot bigger than your left. I don't understand.

From kicking ass, throwing right hooks. Oh. Yeah, that's all I got. So that's it? That was a poorly thought out plan of mine. That was bad. We could actually do something with it. We could.

It went in a direction that I wasn't planning on. I don't know. How do you build your internet personality, though? You just take somebody's jokes. You take somebody's tweets. I found the whole thing to be quite confusing, actually. Kind of off-putting. That's what happens when you think up a segment on the fly when you're trying to put content

into an episode. He's trying to be a content guy. We just swatted him out to half court. To be fair, you liked the idea. I do, in theory. We went down the wrong – I think we went down the wrong road. Like a lot of things, they're great in theory. When you try to execute, you realize, like, this wasn't the move, and that's fine.

Especially on the fly. On the fly is tough. Yeah. On the fly with Brett Merriman. Check that out on Patreon. Coming soon. That's hockey talk. Hockey talk.

Also check out Flounder on the fly. At Flounder on the fly. Just an unusual time to plug in there, but it makes sense. You guys want to get out of here? Let's wrap this thing up. Anything else? Brett, parting words? Any other hypos?

I hope you guys had fun at the wedding. That happens. Get optimized. Trust me, we did. Get optimized for tomorrow's Bachelor episode. Patreon.com slash circlingbackpodcast. Only two Bachelor episode. Patreon.com slash Circling Back Podcast. Only two more left. Bye. you
