Chris Harrison voice.
Starting point is 00:04:37 The spookiest season yet. Wow. Do it in Caitlin Bristow voice now. You're really putting a lot of... It's the spookiest... I'm doing Christopher Walken now. The spookiest season we've had so far. Do Caitlin Bristow as Christopher Walken.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Doing Chris Harris as Chris. I don't know about you. I think we're good. I can't pull that. I don't want to see what comes out of your mouth. I can't even do Christopher Walken. I can't, you know. I don't even want... I don't like you putting that on me.
Starting point is 00:05:07 That is the spookiest yet. It's going to be the spookiest season yet. Damn, I'm not going to call you Ja Rule because you don't want it put on you. Damn, Zaddy. Somebody's knocking down a load-bearing wall out there. Do you all hear that? So to pull back the curtain, I had to go to my- Of course, the thing about load-bearing walls is they're walls that bear loads.
Starting point is 00:05:25 You know what, guys? I'm glad you brought that up. Are they actually made out of bear loads? Yeah. This one. That's disgusting. No, they're not, for the record. I just want to just say, hey, we support all our load-bearing walls.
Starting point is 00:05:37 They truly bear the load. Yeah, seriously, man. Without them, like... To all y'all load-bearing walls out there, we thank you for what you do to our structures. Without them, everything would just collapse. Literally. So to all y'all load-bearing walls out there, we thank you for what you do to our structures. We just collapse. Literally. Dude, big shout-out to all the load-bearing walls out there.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Yeah. That's sick. Just imagine walking around with a load on your back. Imagine being a wall. That's what it's like for those walls. Imagine being like a wall that doesn't bear a single load. Like, what are you doing? You're such a waste of my space. They're on different sides.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Get out of here. They're on different sides of the playground. What are you doing? They don't mix. They're like, nah. You feel just totally worthless. Like, oh yeah, I just separate these rooms.
Starting point is 00:06:09 They're hitting the slide. The other ones are playing two-hand touch, shoving each other. Dumbass wall. Just flag wall. Yeah. Dude, barrel load one time. Do your job.
Starting point is 00:06:16 You guys had to stand on the wall, right? If you got in trouble on the playground, it was like, hey, go stand on that wall over there. No.
Starting point is 00:06:21 That's what we had to do. Bad boy shit. Damn. Sometimes if you got in big trouble, it was like, oh, next reset, you're on the wall the entire time. You mean like leaning against it? Yeah, you just had to go stand there. That's a thing.
Starting point is 00:06:31 That is bad boy shit. That's the only way they could keep an eye on you. Yeah. Yeah. Did you guys call them the duties? I always thought it was a weird word to call the people in charge, but we had like the people that watched on the playground were called duties. I would just have fun with that.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Yeah. Look who's the duty today. I think they were called recess aides. We didn't have those because it was just a free-for-all. It was bad boy shit out there all the time. Damn. We could do what we wanted. Not us.
Starting point is 00:06:58 We just went around like just picking on kids and stuff. Okay. I one time drop kicked a dodgeball into the middle of the playground just thinking it'd be funny if the dodgeball went down and it ended up hitting a girl who was not a very popular girl unfortunately and so it was more of a glaring error on my part than it could have been had it hit like a popular kid. Yeah. And I got in a lot of trouble for that. One time in baseball practice this dude named Adam I won't say his last name. Okay. He decided to pick up a rock that was the size of a baseball and just throw it as hard as he could across the field
Starting point is 00:07:26 and smoke some kid in the face. Not ideal. Like, what are you doing? Throwing rocks was a big no-no as a kid. He got in trouble. That was like one of the worst things you could do. Yeah. Rightfully so.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Big time. Big time trouble. I remember when we kind of ran out of ideas for gym class and we played this game where they had a hockey puck and they stood it on this thing on like like a basketball court in the gym and on the free throw line of each side they had this little stand with a hockey puck and you had to guard it and there were dodgeballs you couldn't cross half court much like dodgeball so it was like a high hybrid of dodgeball and knock the thing off the you know like a game
Starting point is 00:08:07 you would play on the beach or something right and uh man i just i winged one and i did not have enough loft on it and i smoked this girl who had glasses on and i just wrecked those things absolutely crumpled them yeah we had a girl who ended up just quitting gym class and on fridays when we would play dodgeball she would just do homework because everyone would just pelt her with the balls it was really sad geez it was fun at the time like i mean yeah it sounds like a lot of fun she probably went to mit or something she ended up going to a very good school yeah she was she's doing she's doing better than everybody else in that class maybe i don't i don't know if we can say that but like she yeah she doing the homework was definitely a good thing for her instead of getting brain
Starting point is 00:08:46 damage from getting smoked by the basketball team the entire time. Should we get some programming notes out of the way? We already talked about spooky season, but as you know, it's upon us. Sorry I jumped ahead there. It begins tomorrow on Patreon. Patreon.com slash Shirkling Back Podcast. If you're unfamiliar with spooky season,
Starting point is 00:09:02 I want to welcome you to the greatest time of year around these parts. It's our favorite content. The studio's about to look a lot different than it looks now. We're about to have a lot of eeriness in here. Ooh, it's going to be spooky. A lot of thunder in here, too. Do you know what kind of thunder that is? Or is that from behind the paywall?
Starting point is 00:09:18 I still don't know why it's called that, but it is fun. What? To come thunder. You talking about this? Yeah, that's it clap thunder we do sound effects yep that's one thing we do anticipation is high yeah if you have a story of your own that's very spooky maybe you had a haunted house maybe you just had a brush with the paranormal make sure to send that in to spooky at watch you had a haunted house, maybe you just had a brush with the paranormal, make sure to send that in to spooky at watchmedia.com.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Dave, how are the stories going so far? Like I was telling y'all this morning, of the 10, so I had already had three earmarked for tomorrow's episode, but last night at halftime of the big game, I decided to check out what had been submitted, and of the 10 that I read nine were not only good not only usable but very good above average so i am i might have a surplus i might have to do like we might be doing spooky season for like the next seven months fine we got it because we got to burn
Starting point is 00:10:17 we can't i don't hate that at all and a few of them you might have submitted some last year and i just didn't get to them and i think some of those are going to be used. People were wiling last year. Check it out. If we just did Spooky Season as just like a paranormal podcast that wasn't associated with Halloween and it was free, I think it would be like we'd just be all-stars. I would be down to do one a month after this. Spooky.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Don't tease me with this, David, because you know how I get. Don't rub our thighs and make us think something's going to happen. You know how I get. I'm not going to piss on your leg and call it rain. That's good. Don't piss down my square-toed boots either. I'm not. Shots to A&M.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Just don't get us too rocked. You can also go follow Circling Back Pod and Watch Media on the Grom. Leave a review and five-star rating. You guys want to hear a couple of reviews that we got over the last week? Ooh, yeah. We got a one-star review. Oh, let's read it. You guys want to hear a couple of reviews that we got over the last week? Ooh, yeah. We got a one-star review. Oh, let's read it. You guys want to get that one out of the way first? Yeah. Because I'm going to read the one-star review, I need the backers
Starting point is 00:11:12 to show up and offset this one-star review by flooding our reviews with five-star reviews. This proves our transparency once again. I think podcasts are only as good. No one's reading one-star reviews live on the pod. Podcasts are only as good as their funniest one-star review. Well, this one isn't funny.
Starting point is 00:11:27 It's a critique. It says, I've never heard so many ads, so many ad reads all the time, constantly. Hey, man, we've got to support ourselves. There's an ad read right after this. You know what? They probably, the Small Business September probably. Oh, I'm sorry. We're supporting our small businesses out there.
Starting point is 00:11:42 If you were new, then maybe you didn't know that we were just doing that to be nice guys. Yeah. We're good people. We're not charging the small businesses. We didn't get paid. No, we did demand they send us product for all of our family and our family's friends. Other than that, though, it's completely free. Spooky29 said, took a leap of faith.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Been a longtime listener, but never pulled trig on Opto content. Finally got myself a girlfriend and gave up my $9.99 OnlyFans and switched to certified Opto backer status. Gave up thoughts for some high-quality thoughts. Five stars all around. How is thoughts spelled? He gave up the original thoughts, T-H-O-T-S, for some high-quality thoughts.
Starting point is 00:12:20 T-H-O-U-G-H. Yeah, Dylan, there's levels. Why don't you pay attention? Very cool. Stop playing grab ass over there. Kingguy124 said, Back again. I've left reviews here before.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Five stars, of course. But they've never been right on the potty. Hopefully this one makes the cut. I've been listening to these guys for years. I've always loved them, but took some time off of listening for a while and have recently picked it up again. And I must say,
Starting point is 00:12:41 it was the best decision I've ever made. Dylan, Dave, and Will seem to all have gotten fun funnier so much so that I am legitimately laughing out loud while listening but somehow as impossible as I thought it was Will's become more cringe as well as more funny thank you thank you Evmon crunny I'm crunny is he related to Wilmon he might be uh and then some other dude just said the opposite of voted. Jdubs521 said Dorn is an old bag of bones. Five stars. I don't know if that's accurate. Did y'all hear the guy at the Ryder Cup, speaking of too much dip,
Starting point is 00:13:13 that before Sergio teed off yesterday, he goes, God, you're the worst. I somehow missed that, unfortunately. And, like, it was uncalled for because Sergio's not. He's not the worst. He's not the worst. He's had his moments of bad. Can you guys pronounce something for me real quick i'm gonna spell something and i want you to pronounce it all right go i n t e r e s t i n g interesting
Starting point is 00:13:37 interesting so i think there's two ways to say this this guy says i can't pronounce the word he said it's painful but otherwise it's an excellent podcast. I say interesting. And some people say interesting. Yeah, I mean, as it's spelled, it's technically a four-syllable word. Interesting. But people just combine them. I always forget that you're the syllable guy. It's very un-Dorn-like to not respect all the syllables.
Starting point is 00:13:58 I feel like you respect the syllable. If someone says interesting to you instead of interesting, does that set something off in your brain? No. Like, why was that three instead of four? You know what? If I read it, I probably almost always say interesting. If I'm saying it in casual conversation, I probably just say interesting.
Starting point is 00:14:15 I say interesting. Do you guys say often or often? I don't know. I say often. Whenever something like that gets proposed to me, I overthink it and I have no clue how I actually say it. Yeah. I say a lot of words differently. Often he will. I say coffee. Whenever something like that gets proposed to me, I overthink it and I have no clue how I actually say it. Yeah. I say a lot of words differently.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Often he will. I say often. I have a hard T. I don't do a T. You know my T's higher these days. Oh, yeah, that's true. It makes a lot of sense. You just threw the roof?
Starting point is 00:14:38 No, but it's above normal. I take no issue with interesting. I don't either. I just don't say it that way. Thank you for allowing us to properly enunciate the sillies. The sillies. The sillies. It's time to recap this weekend in fun presented by Vizzy Hard Seltzer.
Starting point is 00:14:52 The option with something extra makes your choice easier. Am I right? And as the first hard seltzer with antioxidant vitamin C, Vizzy brings something unique and delicious to the table. Grab yourself a drink that can do both with Vizzy Hard Seltzer. You guys, we've been drinking these for months now. And guess what? They haven't gotten old on me.
Starting point is 00:15:08 I'm still very happy with a lot of these. The pineapple mango, watermelon strawberry, blackberry lemon, raspberry tangerine. Watermelon sugar. They're all just still in the rotage. Oh, they're in mad rotage right now. Fun fact, this weekend I happened to pick up a watermelon hard seltzer pack of Vizzy.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Look at you. For the first time. Tried the new flavors. Very good. You didn't get them in the mail? No. Dang, man. Did y'all?
Starting point is 00:15:31 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I actually opened my fridge the other night and I had someone say, wow, you have a lot of Vizzy. And I'm like, yeah, I do. Welcome to heaven. This is a promised land, baby.
Starting point is 00:15:39 That's what you said. Yeah. Probably what I said. I probably offered him one. Hard to say. Vizzy has a lemonade hard seltzer, watermelon hard seltzer, and they have their other just trademark flavors. Go out and get some.
Starting point is 00:15:52 They all have antioxidant vitamin C. That makes your choice a little bit easier and a lot tastier, and it never hurts to add some antioxidants to the mix as well. With Vizzy, you can enjoy a refreshment now with antioxidant vitamin C, 5% ABV, 100 calories, and less than one gram of real cane sugar per can. This is pretty much the opposite of a Sprite at this point. You can either drink Sprite or you can have a Vizzy.
Starting point is 00:16:12 I'd have a Vizzy if I were you guys. Oh, the lemonade flavors are 63 fewer grams of sugar than a Sprite. Think about that. Upgrade your hard seltzer to Vizzy. To find out where you can purchase Vizzy, go to VizzyHardSeltzer.com. That's VizzyHardSeltzer.com. That's VizzyHardSelter.com. And to get updates on their latest flavor drops and more, sign up for their emails at VizzyHardSelter.com.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Again, that's VizzyHardSelter.com. Must be 21 or older. Dylan, what did you do this weekend? Thank you for asking, Will. I had a pretty big weekend. I spent it in San Diego, California. A little guy's trip with my old high school buddies. We went to the
Starting point is 00:16:50 beach, went to the bar, played some golf. I went to the Padres Braves game on Friday night. Watched Fernando Tatis Jr. play. I don't know if you heard of this guy. A lot of swag.
Starting point is 00:17:05 I had a blast. I had a blast. It was an all-time weekend. Did you score the game? You would be the guy that goes and does that. Did I keep my own? No, I didn't do that. What is that? There was a point in my life where I thought people doing that was pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:17:22 What is that? I was like, damn, that's a hard-on move. You can just look up the box score if you want. Why did guys feel the need to do that? What do you do with these papers? Did you bring a mitt? I did not bring a mitt. No, I didn't. I would have
Starting point is 00:17:35 had to pack my mitt. You never had a problem with that. I don't. What does that even mean? I don't get that either. I'll tell you what. Petco Park, San Diego, that is a great ballpark, man. One of my favorite game experiences I've had. It was just very cool right in the middle of downtown.
Starting point is 00:17:55 It's surrounded by, you know, a bar district there, the Gaslamp District. Dave, I don't know about this. They didn't do it in a suburb that has no public transportation in the middle of Dallas and Fort Worth? No. Okay. No. It was a a prime location it was sick man i had i had some bomb-ass tacos there oh that place is sick man it was 18 beer night love that that's so ridiculous were they really 18 i i got a um what what kind of beer was it maybe like a stella or something and it was like 20 ounce beer
Starting point is 00:18:25 and it was like 15 bucks or something and then they're like hey you want to leave a 15 percent it's like yeah i guess i don't know and it was 18 bucks man i feel like that i feel like their park is ripe for having a lot of craft brews from around the area yeah yeah they they did and i then i got a uh some green flash like a magnum pacifico shots Shouts to Dave. Shouts to Magnums. Yeah, a big one. 24-ounce Pacifico. And that, you know, again, was very expensive, too. Wow, this guy drinks.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Yeah, we get it, dude. That's very cool, man. Did you play any golf? It rained on us? Here by this marine layer shit? Shut up. Don't even come in here with the marine layer. Where did it rain on? Mission Beach.
Starting point is 00:19:04 It rained on us. On the course? No. No. Golf was rain-free. Golf was so much fun. We played Coronado. Let me see.
Starting point is 00:19:12 What'd you shoot? What's your handicap at? So I didn't keep my own score. We played a, we played shamble for the first 12. Two different versions of shamble. So 6-6. And then the last six, we played our own balls. So I didn't keep a score. Actually, you know what?
Starting point is 00:19:28 I struck the ball pretty well. I did. How was the back? The back held up, man. Good. I had a lot of fun playing golf, which is great news for all of you who want to play golf with me. Who were you talking to? You guys. Specifically Will and Dave. You two. You and me? I mean,
Starting point is 00:19:43 yeah, maybe. I had a blast. We just want you specifically Will and Dave. What? You two. You and me? I mean, yeah, maybe. Uh-huh. I had a blast, man. We just want you to play around and have a good time. I just want you to be happy. I just don't want you to break clubs like you always do. I won 40 bucks. I mean, not a big deal, but kind of a big deal.
Starting point is 00:19:57 It's getting really old having us go to the 19th hole for a beer after the round, and Dylan's just out getting his clubs out of the lake on 18. It's just annoying. It's like, dude, just leave it. Don't stop that. Just ask hashtag for some new wedges, man. It's okay. He can't hook that up anymore, unfortunately. I wish Dude Perfect made golf clubs. They could just
Starting point is 00:20:16 send us some. Dude Perfect, they've got it in the budget. They could just give us free golf clubs. You know, they really could. They're doing a tour. It's kind of bullshit that Dude Perfect doesn't just give us free stuff all the time. Why are we not getting swag? Yeah, they should just give us golf clubs. Like, give us some Nerf.
Starting point is 00:20:31 They've got the Nerf stuff. Give us some Nerf balls, dog. Not just balls. I want the weapons. I want weapons-grade Nerf. I want a Nerf Tommy gun. Eh, see? What would that sound like?
Starting point is 00:20:43 Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. I was going to say, I don't think that's what it would sound like. What did Davey do this weekend? I'll keep it brief. Played golf Friday with a friend of the show, Ryan. Brett and I did. Fantastic weather. You know what?
Starting point is 00:21:02 I called people out for being too eager to pull out the pullover on the first cool-ish morning in Texas. Well, our tea time was at like 9 or 10 o'clock. I showed up in my pullover and shorts, rowback pullover. Of course. And
Starting point is 00:21:19 went inside, grabbed something to drink, used the gentleman's room, went out to the range, immediately took it off. I was like, this was completely unnecessary. Don't need it. Love that I thought about it, but I was like, I jumped the gun here. No, but it's also an issue here because the amount of time that it takes to change from being pullover weather in the morning right now to just being too hot for it, it's in a second. It just happens immediately.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Dude, and I mean, I'm rocking pants today. now to just being too hot for it it's it's in a second it just happens immediately dude and i mean i'm rocking pants today i'm gonna go home and want to walk the dog or whatever and i'm gonna have to change these pants you know you're gonna have to never mind you see the little front that's blowing through on uh freddie uh it could be a wet weather pattern here for the next few days i saw a high of 82 yeah sign me up might be a little rainy out but a little too rainy to enjoy it but we'll see need to get this cedar out of the air it's uh it's hitting maybe that moisture will knock it down dave speaking you guys mentioned sprite a minute ago and uh i had more sprite friday than i've had in my life because we were
Starting point is 00:22:23 drinking uh dkrs on the course. Some of the bartenders there make it with Sprite. Some were making it with ginger beer. One guy was apparently making it on accident with the Deep Eddy grapefruit. Hell yeah. And all of them were very good and drinkable. I don't even know if technically what I had was a DKR. I think some might call it a transfusion.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Brett's a transfusion guy. Some people call it a DCR. Yeah. What's that sugar intake, player? Yeah, it was, you know, I'm playing golf. Fine. Playing with the boys. I think I want a little bit of money.
Starting point is 00:22:58 I didn't send out a Venmo request or anything, so just hit me up. David-Ruff-2 on Venmo. Very cool. You know who you are, guy in there selling ads. Okay. So just hit me up, david-rough-2 on Venmo. Very cool. You know who you are, guy in there selling ads. Ooh. Is Brett not paying his bets? No, Brett, I think Brett did pretty well.
Starting point is 00:23:16 We have an overall company culture issue where people aren't paying up on their bets. Dylan's butthole is still not bleached. That is not a company bet. Dave does not wear his Arby's polo literally anywhere. It's just... They only drank half his Vizzy the other morning. True. Big facts. Oh, I'd finish it.
Starting point is 00:23:31 He's that much more of a Welch than me. I'd finish it. Were they making your... Wait, were they making your decals with Welches? I wish. You know what? That's what they make Dylan's with. Damn, dude.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Friday night. What did I even do? I don't think I did anything friday night i always just got the kid you know staying at home raising him shit uh i did i texted you on friday afternoon i just told you blatantly i want to get drunk tonight and guess what i didn't hang out with anybody yeah yeah i didn't i did nothing sat at home alone. You kind of teased some stuff, but I knew what you were teasing wasn't going to happen. It logistically wasn't going to work out. But Saturday.
Starting point is 00:24:11 All I needed from you was just a little bit of a little buy-in, and I could have gone over the top, but I didn't get the buy-in as fast as I wanted it. So I cooled my own jets on it. I'll be honest. When you sent that, I kind of let it breathe for a little bit, and I was like, man, I just want to see where he's going with this without me being the the catalyst i don't want to like i get i mean i get it saturday got up it was a yard work saturday morning was fantastic mowed edged dylan uh-huh uh pulled some weeds by hand the way it was the way it's supposed to be
Starting point is 00:24:42 done shout out dallas grass you're fucking dead or dallas grass you're on blast is it dallas or dallas i feel weird saying dallas grass i don't even know i don't even know what you're talking about dallas grass is the pencil shavings they sold me in in middle school come on uh saturday night we had some friends over did a little uh that's where we dug into the Vizzy. Did some ranch waters. Oh, yeah, your little house. Did some rosé.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Yeah, we watched Ryder Cup. Watched Baylor beat Iowa State. Watched the games and whatnot. It was a lot of fun. Had a good time. Randy was loving it. Rhodes was loving it. I thought Randy was at a wedding this weekend in Indiana.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Aurora, actually. Wow. Shots of Randy. Beans were this weekend in Indiana. Aurora, actually. Wow. Shots of Randy. It means we're on party time. Utterly unfamiliar with the reference. Many people. Yeah. Well, that's where that movie was filmed.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Sat down on the couch yesterday, just all-time sport weekend. Back's a little stiff. You see these longhorns play? You got to stop shoot-horning that in, dude. If you're going to bring these lukewarm takes, do it on a sports pod. It's fair. Texas Tech has a family. Maybe take it easy next time.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Chill out. I'm sorry. I'm going to get shit for that one. That's okay. They got their ass kicked. We're back. You can't let them hang 70 on you. That's a lot of points.
Starting point is 00:26:02 That's a lot of points. That's a lot of touchdowns. You give up 35 to them, though, right? You know, when your offense keeps putting your defense back on the field, it's tough. It is. Yeah, they were tired. Yeah, a lot of running. When you put it to scale.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Okay, not getting the support I needed. I didn't do shit. Now, Friday I truly did nothing. I went out to dinner to the worst Tex-Mex restaurant, maybe not just in Austin, maybe in the entire world. I went to Mottie's. And I have to say, that place stinks, baby. Last time I was there, I had a fine time. Yeah, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:26:39 You like Mottie's. It was just terrible. I don't like Mottie's. I don't hate Mottie's. Get that one. There's chicken tacos on the menu that aren't bad. The fact that we can name two things on the menu that we're willing to get tells you everything you need to know about that place. It just stinks, baby.
Starting point is 00:26:51 It's too cramped in there. You can never stray away from Matt's El Rancho's light. The fact that I'm like – it made me appreciate what Matt's does more than I have been for a while. Oh, I went to Matt's last night. I forgot to mention that. Must be nice, man. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:27:03 And then Saturday, you know I woke up. I'm theets last night. I forgot to mention that. Must be nice, man. Don't care. And then Saturday, you know I woke up. I'm the football guy here. I go to football games. I went to my second football game in two weeks, and I did go see the Texas Longhorns beat up on the Texas Tech Raiders. Had a great time. Had a wonderful time. Went home, thought about doing something, and just didn't.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Ended up watching a bunch of TV, which we'll get to in a little bit. And then, yeah, yesterday was the all-time sports day. Just sat around, did my thing. Watched a lot of Ryder Cup. Had a little eye on the old Lions game. You guys see how that Lions game finished out? Pretty exciting finish. Yeah, I wasn't going to bring it up.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Yeah, but since you did. Westlake Zone, Justin Tucker. There's a lot of fan bases out there who claim themselves to be tortured fan bases who claim to have all these issues and who complain about it the most lions fans are at the point where they don't even complain about it anymore they just like take a sip of their beer put it down turn off the tv and just go sit in silence it's just tough out here for us you know i think um brighter things are on the horizon or whatever i don't know yeah i'm sure they are if there's anything we know about the
Starting point is 00:28:13 lions is that they have a lot of ebbs and flows somehow more ebbs right now than anything it's you're ebbing what is an ebb hard to say dude i'd look it up but i don't think you can ebb is that the only context that's ever used ebbs and flows yeah it's almost like it's one word is it no the reflex of the tide toward the sea oh a point or condition of decline. That's too bad, man. Intern Klein? Hey, as you can see in the rundown, it says that I took an all-time nap over the weekend. Yeah, can you explain? Yeah, this is new to the rundown.
Starting point is 00:28:57 I think someone might have just typed this in. It was like afternoon in San Diego, and the boys were heading off to the beach to go play, I don't know, volleyball or some shit. And I decided to hang back. Oh, you're scared of a little beach volleyball, I see. I decided to hang back and I took a nap on the couch. Ryder Cup was on. Volume was at like three or four. The windows were open. Cool breeze coming in. And I could hear waves crashing in the distance. This is a Jack Johnson song. Oh, my God. It was a top three nap I've ever had in my life. It was 45 to 50 minutes long, perfect nap length. It was an all-time nap.
Starting point is 00:29:33 I woke up refreshed. Look at you. There was a cocktail waiting for me as I woke up. I crushed it. Why did you skip out on beach volleyball? Because I wanted to take a nap. Had it been pool volleyball, something that requires much less athleticism, would you have done pool volleyball? Guess what I regret?
Starting point is 00:29:46 Nothing. Would you have done pool volleyball had the lads been playing? I would have opted for the nap. Okay. My body was telling me yes or something. How's that? My mind's telling me no. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:58 He's been effectively canceled. Everything was telling me yes, though, everything. Yeah, I don't think we're quoting R. Kelly on this podcast. Anyway, next time the Ryder Cup is on and you're in san diego mission beach and the the wind is blowing into the doors take a nap and the rider cups on and the rider cups on and the waves are crashing so if you're if you're taking a nap in 2025 yes you will be able to enjoy the only time that's going to apply is it weird that the rider cup instead of like like they're just doing it in odd years now because of covid you mean yeah they just they just shifted the whole sitch
Starting point is 00:30:33 i think so because i unless i'm unless i'm mistaken but on the screen it said like 2025 and i was like so they just bumped everything a year and they're not just gonna like do another rider cup next year in europe and then keep going i didn't you know the way things have been the last couple years it's been so crazy i didn't even notice i'm like what year is it oh you know wow man like it's today monday it is it clearly is but it's one you know what i mean uh the next one is in italy rome just outside of rome italia i am i think the ragazzi is gonna be out to be out. Already putting in the... Just saying to the wife, hey, what if we did another Italy trip and I go to the Ryder Cup?
Starting point is 00:31:10 This is never going to happen. Dave, that's crazy. How many guys have put this out there and how many guys are just definitely going to get shot down a year from now? What if I hit up the Ragazzi? Do you think the Ragazzi would crowdfund your trip? I would never expect them to do such a thing
Starting point is 00:31:26 but but they could Venmo you I don't know who the Ragazzi consists of really yeah that sounds like a you problem can we talk about our friends over at 10,000 real quick? yeah as you guys know I work out sometimes
Starting point is 00:31:41 I'm a workout boy I didn't used to work out but now i do work out and guess what i very much enjoyed training in everything 10 000 at this point hey remember that nap i was just telling you guys about yes i do i napped in my 10 000s and then i wore them straight to the beach from the nap that's because they're athletic and comfortable yeah and they're quick drying i got in the ocean with my 10 000s on i have not swum in them yet uh they're quick drying. I got in the ocean with my 10,000s on. I have not swum in them yet. Do I need to start swimming? They're big-time swimmies, dog.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Dude, these things have a ton of features, like silver ion for odor protection, no-bounce pockets, breathable and lightweight shell fabric with stretch, no-bounce phone pockets, even an optional liner that's so comfortable and prevents chafing. If there's one thing we hate, it's chafing. I do not like to chafe. And they even have the perfect workout shirt, lightweight, breathable, quick drawing.
Starting point is 00:32:28 The stuff is just great. You guys see me wearing it in the studio all the time. I'm pre-training. Really? Pre-training. Yeah. Training for pre. If you're not familiar with 10,000,
Starting point is 00:32:38 it's about time you get yourself familiar because 10,000 makes the highest quality, best fitting, most comfortable training shorts I've ever worn. And at the core of 10,000 are three core training shorts built for all the ways that you train. The interval short, which is versatile
Starting point is 00:32:50 and great for HIIT workouts or as Dylan says, H-I-I-T workouts. That's how it's spelled. Spinning, mat cons, short runs, and anything else you can think of. The foundation short, which is built for durability for tough gym days and outdoor adventures. I actually have a pair of those. Very much like them. But my favorite short has to be the Session short.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Super lightweight, perfect for running, yoga, mobility. Honestly, it's the one pair of shorts that I can put on, and I honestly feel like I'm just not wearing shorts. That's what I was rocking, the Sessions. They are so comfortable. Yes, Sessions. They are unbelievably comfortable. The waistline on those, it fits you perfectly
Starting point is 00:33:21 without feeling like it's clenched to your hips. Oh, baby. 10,000s, they're direct-to-consumer company. No middlemen. We hate middlemen around here. Get them out of here. Get out of here. Oh, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:33:30 You're in the middle? See ya. Stay there. Collaborative Product Development. They have a team of over 200 athletes that test their gear. It's all good. They even have over 10,000 five-star reviews. 10,000 is offering our listeners 15% off of their purchases.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Go to 10,000.cc and enter code CIRCLING to get 15% off of your purchase. That's 10,000.cc and enter promo code CIRCLING. I actually mowed the lawn in mine Saturday. Fantastic. If I'm doing something active, I'm doing something in 10,000. Great lawn mowing shorts. How about this possum story? Dave, do you want to take the reins on this one?
Starting point is 00:34:04 You seem like the possum guy of the crew want to take the reins on this one you seem like the possum guy of the crew big george jones guy rest in peace so i saw this come across the timeline and a couple things jumped out to me and i'll feel free to stop me when this when you have questions basically one of the most sought boudoir photographers in the Southeast and champion barrel racer, Matt Matthews is fighting back after he says state officials swarmed his property and took his opossum. Will you pronounce the O?
Starting point is 00:34:36 I did. Huh? What are you supposed to do with that? Oh, I think it's optional, but sometimes I do it for dramatic effect. I think it is optional. I'm just a possum guy.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Yeah. I go straight to the P. I skip the O. Oh, possum. You do what? I skip the O. No, you go straight to the what? The next letter in the word. Right away, I was like, okay, this is something.
Starting point is 00:35:07 You don't see a lot of boudoir photographers that are also championship barrel racers you familiar with barrel racing don't and have possums isn't that the donkey kong thing no it's where you get in the barrel and you whoever goes down niagara falls first that's not it it's the horse yeah they go around the barrels like cone drill kind of when's rodeo season in Texas? But on horse. It's 365. But no, but when does it really kick up? And there haven't been much of a big rodeo guy. That's a Dylan question.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Dylan's the rancher. As you know, I do enjoy watching a lot of rodeo on television, and I think this year might be the year that I need to start going to rodeos, as I did buy a pair of jeans this weekend. Sorry for not mentioning that during this weekend of fun, but yes, I'm the proud owner of a pair of jeans now. Bugle Boy? Wow, Will owns jeans now.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Old Gene loved a good pair of jeans. He did. He looked great in jeans too. He filled that ass out. He sure did, man. Big Levi guy. Am I correct in seeing that they sent four game wardens to get one possum from this gentleman's house?
Starting point is 00:35:59 If you believe what champion barrel racer Matt Matthews says, then yes. Why did they take his possum? It seems like a lot of game wardens you you have to have a permit to have a possum because it's not a domestic domesticated animal i don't know seems like uh seems like a little bit of an overreach i mean it and it's it's kind of a sad story because the possum's like not great, not doing well. Its siblings nibbled its ear off when it was young,
Starting point is 00:36:30 and it can't eat without being fed a certain way, and it needs help going to the bathroom. So this possum, this old possum, if you will. It only eats trash. It doesn't only eat trash. I think he feeds it a special diet. I think he said sugar-free strawberry yogurt. I think I read somewhere that he subscribes to Far to farmer's possum which just sends a bunch of pre-made foods to their house the company is struggling overall send me all your trash so my possum can go through it and eat
Starting point is 00:36:55 possums aren't the number one trash eating no it's a raccoon yeah it's trash pandas like everyone knows that we're big trash pandas guy. Dylan, I hope we have a happy ending to this, meaning I hope they send this possum to a certain lake in Texas. Of course, I'm talking about Possum Kingdom Lake, the most questionably named lake in Texas. I don't get it. It's just a kingdom for possums. Oh, there must be just like a billion possums.
Starting point is 00:37:22 They've claimed it. This is their territory. Like you're out there trying to pull yourself up on a wakeboard, and you look over, there's a possum on a kneeboard on the boat next to you. Kneeboards, man. Those things are, you don't see those anymore, but they're sick. Can you imagine how sick it would be if you were just like, you were tubing, and then you looked over,
Starting point is 00:37:39 and you saw a possum barefoot water skiing? My tube. Yeah, that'd be so sick. It'd be so sick. Oh, that's what they call it. His little possum paws. That's what they call a possum kingdom. I get it now.
Starting point is 00:37:49 You just see a bunch of possums with like shitty haircuts on a wakeboard boat blasting Florida Georgia line. There's a possum just, yeah, just driving like a little tiny little boat, little possum boat. Drinking fucking shandy beers and stuff.
Starting point is 00:38:00 What was that? Was that a squirrel? The water skiing squirrel? Do you remember that? I feel like that made the rounds on late night TV like 20 years ago. No one remembers this, but there was a water skiing squirrel. How'd they get that squirrel to water ski? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Probably forcefully. It was probably on David Letterman, who doesn't know why KD is called KD. Stupid pet tricks? Anyway. I'm thinking about teaching Rosie how to water ski. Stupid pet tricks? Anyway. Boudoir. I'm thinking about teaching Rosie how to water ski. Really?
Starting point is 00:38:29 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay. Dylan, don't you dare teach any of our dogs how to ski. I won't do that, Dave. No matter how much you like to. Hit the slopes?
Starting point is 00:38:41 Have you ever done boudoir photos? Have I? No. Ever considered it um me personally yeah no i have not it would be my boudoir photoist or i can do it for you dude if you want me to do it i'll do it dave i mean he basically i mean all i need to do is pop top yes i feel like he's already taking boudoir quality photos of me i'm i'm like not that far from just like coming to your house and just taking photos of you
Starting point is 00:39:06 just smoking stuff, mowing the lawn, just getting real dope photos off of you constantly. Do you need my address? You can come by my crib, too. No, man. I actually have you on Fine Fred still from New Orleans, and so I'm going to take that away from you at some point. Have you been tracking me? I did track you one time.
Starting point is 00:39:19 I was like, where the fuck is Dylan right now? Where was I? I don't remember. You were at your house. Oh, okay. I was like, Dylan should be here at this point. And I was like, oh, I actually have him on Fine Friends from New Orleans. That was very responsible of us to do that before.
Starting point is 00:39:31 It says here, Matthews has been rehabilitating opossums for years and releasing them. He is not a licensed wildlife rehabilitation official, a license which he said the state makes nearly impossible to receive. A lot of bureaucratic, you know, gobbledygook the red tape on this one you got to cut the red tape uh-huh he said why did you need four game wardens why did you need three vehicles to surround my house when i have one possum who's not doing anything wrong seems like a valid question the possum is definitely not doing anything wrong what's he gonna do with, man? He was in good hands with this fella. Apparently this guy has a good Instagram following,
Starting point is 00:40:09 and somebody probably narked on him. Hey, shout out to his name being Matt Matthews. A lot of Matt going on there. Well, to be fair, to be fair, I do believe he has a husband. He could have taken the name, and his parents might not have called him Matt Matthews. Matthew Matthews. Fair enough.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Fair enough. I didn't think about that until you said it. If he was in my crew, I'd call him Matty Math. I wonder how that conversation went between the two. Like, whose last name should we take? Like, I could take yours, but then my name would be Matthew Matthews. I was watching some old Succession recently, getting hyped up for the new season next month, and I really enjoyed the part where Tom offered to take Shiv's last name.
Starting point is 00:40:46 He was like, I'm willing to throw a convention out the window if you want me to take Roy. Oh, my God. You know, fun fact. When I was a kid, a little kid, I used to have the fear that I would never get married because no one would want to take the last name Ruff. Ruff is a great last name. It's a sick name.
Starting point is 00:41:02 Yeah, but, you know, when you're, like, in second grade and people are like, oh, Ruff. You're the crime dog. Yeah, I know. I wasn't the crime dog then. That took years to develop. Right. Damn, it must have taken Alyssa a long time to mulling that one over. That's her maiden name.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Pretty good. Pretty good. You know, Parks doesn't have a son. My last name is going to just stop. You know that, right? Yeah. Straight up. Straight up.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Facts. Straight up. Big facts in the whole world. I'm not going to lie. I was pretty psyched to have a son just to make sure DeFreeze keeps going because there aren't that many of us out there. DeFreezeland, of course. The origin.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Yeah, but a lot of them spell it different. Oh, yeah, they're different. Maybe we're different, actually. Yeah. Sorry, I'm literally named different. Very cool. I'm thinking about what Dylan said. It's kind of blowing my mind.
Starting point is 00:41:51 It's cool, right? Yeah. A lot of pressure on that kid. There's a lot of pressure on that guy, yeah. I had the pressure before I had him. Yeah. It was on me, dog. Yeah, but dude, you came up in the clutch.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Yeah. Can I ask you a question, a private question? I guess so. Well, this is not private. Have you thought about donating and freezing your sperm? No, I haven't. Why would I do that? Somebody would have to defreeze it.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Yeah, they'd bring Will in. What? We'll just grab Will's stuff. If you have a last name, I'm going to make a pun out of it during this segment. Just keep that in mind. Do mine next. You don't have to do it right now. I just want one from me.
Starting point is 00:42:23 Dude, I don't know. You're being pretty funny today. This is the easiest one of all time to do. right now, but I want one from me. Dude, I don't know. You're being pretty punny today. This is the easiest one of all time to do. It's rough. Okay, go ahead. Do a pun. You can say, like, it's a rough decision to freeze my semen. That was weak. That was a terrible pun.
Starting point is 00:42:38 That was a terrible pun. As the resident pun guy, Randy is disgusted right now. It was a rough decision. I can't do it. I'm getting worse somehow. Okay, now you're going to do Christopher Walken going to the sperm bank to donate his sperm, but with the stipulation that it takes the last name Ruff. Yeah, I wanted to donate my sperm, but it's contingent.
Starting point is 00:43:03 One condition. Okay. I can't do Christopher Walken. Last name Ruff, please. Walken, no more. Can we see some ID? I'm Christopher Walken, see? Sorry, we don't accept Walkens.
Starting point is 00:43:22 That's good. You have to have an appointment. See, Dave's the pun guy. Damn, dude. Don't accept walk-ins. Perfect. Man. That's good.
Starting point is 00:43:29 How about you can't do trim backie? That's tough. What? Oh, with his last name. With his last name. Yeah. Dude, don't bring up the hard ones. It's going to make it a lot more difficult.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Walk-in. That's another super easy one. Damn, you're cold, dog. Borderline shivery. I met one of Randy's buddies from college this weekend. Did I tell you guys this? Who was it? Were they born at the same hospital?
Starting point is 00:43:50 No, but apparently they called him Randy Trimfrady. Really? In college. Yeah. That's sick. I had not heard. That's awesome. Very cool.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Randy Trimfrady. That is sick. Is that right? Wacky Trimbacky. Dude, that's sick's sick yeah he's nodding yes that's correct oh boy you guys ready for will segment hang on we got more no i'm kidding we don't look at the photos of this guy real quick this is so sad give the guys i know he loves goddamn possum he loves that fucking possum look at that look at that turtleneck he's getting off too damn he's got swag. I'll give it to him. He's a good-looking dude.
Starting point is 00:44:28 He kind of looks like hot Dale Earnhardt Jr. I see it. I see it. I was recently on a friend of the pod, Delph's, Instagram page, and I saw that he had a photo of somebody wearing some of his merch with he himself, Dale Earnhardt Jr. The Delph man. Yeah, shots of Delph.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Noted Caesar salad lover. He loves a good Caesar. I bet he can put one back. You know he's a larger fella. Oh yeah. He's not worried about that. He stands about 6'1 or 2". No, he's like 6'7 or something stupid. He's a big boy. Big boy season. Definitely bigger than Dylan. Can we take a trip down memory lane real quick? He sure is, Dave. You boy season. Yep. Definitely bigger than Dylan. Can we take a trip down memory lane real quick?
Starting point is 00:45:05 Sure is, Dave. You guys ready for this? Yeah. We used to have a different podcast. It was called Touching Base. It was canceled, which is why we now have Circling Back. Oh, like let's touch base on that thing we talked about. And I recently had someone that said they were bored at work on Friday,
Starting point is 00:45:22 and they said they decided to go down a rabbit hole of some old episodes of touching base of which there are very few. I'd like to play a clip from that segment. Ah, that's gross. Uh, let's see. By the way, this is us going through names that were pitched to be touching base. This is the final episode of touching base. Correct.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Correct. This is the final segment of the final episode. Also, we didn't know this is our final episode and we were recording. We thought it just another episode. Wait, this was actually the last Base. Correct. Correct. This is the final segment of the final episode. Also, we didn't know this was our final episode when we were recording. We thought it was just another episode. Wait, this was actually the last episode?
Starting point is 00:45:49 Yes. Before we were canceled. And so this is me listing the names from the email thread that we had. Okay? Unhappy hour.
Starting point is 00:46:00 Crushing it. The lunch break. The break room. The long lunch. Post-grad podcast, cube talk, circling back. I don't hate circling back. Working for the weekend, faking sick.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Then Ross, April 1st, 2016 at 1.49 p.m. sent the email, touching base. Wow. What are the responses to that? Madison responded, touching base is awesome. Dylan Chivary responded, circling back and touching base are A+. So you are also a fan of circling back at the time. I'm telling you, man. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:37 There's one mic. Can I pull back the curtain? Yeah. Do you want to hear something? Okay. So when PGP started as a twitter account and then when i joined forces and voices with my friends at grand x and we were just they were like we're gonna merch make merch so we had like four t-shirt designs raging as the copy machine
Starting point is 00:46:58 some other ones i can't remember one was like the the guy with his head on his desk as we called it sad guy on desk it was our logo for a while sad guy on desk we thought about making a shirt and i think this was my idea so i will take the l and it was touching bass but it was like a play on it was like a bass guitar with like a finger touching and it was like a play i swear this was a real idea that me and uh madison or me and Ryan had. Wow. And I'm so glad we never made it.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Not that those shirts ever sold anyway, but this one was particularly bad. If you had made that shirt and had it tanked, it would have destroyed the name Touching Base as a podcast. It's almost like fate. We would have had to go with Postgrad Podcast. Is that T-Man's idea? Or Unhappy Hour. We would have gone with
Starting point is 00:47:45 circling unhappy hour is good but also just sets the vibe is negative which i mean that's fine but a former former video guy cube talk dvd pitched the idea this was earlier in the segment and i didn't cut that part he said we could call it uh the water cooler than you podcast i don't know if that plays. That is not a good name. I'm not sure if that works. The Water Cooler Than You. During that segment, I laughed in the recording of it, and I laughed in real life right after it,
Starting point is 00:48:13 and they sound exactly the same, and it kind of blew my mind a little bit. The Water Cooler Than You. That's terrible. The Water Cooler Than You. Do you think it is very, very weird and borderline creepy that the final segment was us tossing around names for the podcast
Starting point is 00:48:31 and then us liking the name Circling Back only for us to never record another episode of Touching Base and then the next thing that we record was Circling Back? That's confirmed. 100% positive. It is.
Starting point is 00:48:42 100% positive. It's so weird and so creepy that if I were listening right now and not having known the back story, I would think it was just completely made up. It fits in too seamlessly. Maybe it was subconsciously, as a collective, we knew. We manifested it? Honestly, that might be something to that, yeah. I am an expert in the paranormal.
Starting point is 00:49:02 Check out Spooky Season. All of the hundreds of closed-door meetings right outside the studio of which we were not involved and included probably tipped us off. Are we going to get in trouble
Starting point is 00:49:12 because we came up with the name Circling Back while we were at the former company and now we're going to get in trouble because we're using that name? No.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Do we have to give damages? Whose idea was Circling Back in that email thread? I don't know. I think it was mine. I'm kidding kidding i think it was definitely no ross was touching base i would say ross probably had it though ross i remember ross sending a very long email with a bunch of names and me being like yeah there's probably a name in here i wish i could access that email because i remember the list was we because the whole company was like hitting us with them. And not all of them were great, but we had like 100 to sift through. Some of my favorite things that we did at Grand X were crowdsourced just from the bullpen.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Oh, like what, Will? What? Say, I know where this is going. Harambe? No, I wasn't talking about Harambe. I wasn't talking about those. No, but like we used to just send out an email and being like, hey, we're doing this column.
Starting point is 00:50:08 What do you guys got? And it was just people just piling on this email thread. It was great. It made it very easy. It made it very easy just to write a super viral, not viral necessarily, but a super popular column in 10 minutes because it was like, all right, let's just load this column up with user submissions.
Starting point is 00:50:23 I missed the old bullpen. That was fun. Now we have the pull pin no it's called the alpha lab the science factory the alpha lab science factory see man if we were bunsen burner media that could be the experiment room or whatever the lab lab did we even come up with any other names for circling back or was circling back the only no we name that we just wrote it else was in consideration i can't i can't think of anything else that we might have tossed out it was the clear runaway winner damn how many syllables is the word circling two circling circling circling circle it's three it's definitely two that's three which how many do you choose to pronounce i say circling i think most people do that's super interesting too
Starting point is 00:51:11 you don't say circling so people do circling back welcome to the circling back podcast circle two syllables circling also two syllables hey i'm to say, this guy's being a real circle jerk. You know what's weird is that world is one syllable, but people say world like it's two. But it's really just one. Fire is a similar word. People say fire. I do. It's really one word. That's me.
Starting point is 00:51:37 People don't like that either. Interesting and fire, I guess. It depends on if you're doing fire, F-I-R-E, or F-I-Y-A-H. I guess that's a fair point, Dave. Yeahave yeah fire sounds like you didn't think this through dumbass sorry fucking idiot yeah that's fun that's that i feel like that every like eight months we think about the origin and name and it just blows my mind every time that's worth revisiting like i generally but that's the first, I did not know that that was actually the last. I really did not.
Starting point is 00:52:07 It was literally the end of the episode. Like, could not be further into the episode. I think after that we were like, alright, let's close up shop. Done for the week.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Thursday. Let's go. Weird, wild stuff. I had something to say about this in closing. I don't remember what it was. Is it that you're a dumbass? Doesn't matter. Probably. Yeah. I'm a dumb what it was. Is it that you're a dumbass? Doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:52:25 Probably. Yeah. I'm a dumbass. There. Crushed it. Sorry. Cuts clothing, baby. The sport of business
Starting point is 00:52:34 means demanding excellence from your craft and your wardrobe. Your fits need to be versatile and blending timeless style and comfort so that you look as good as you feel.
Starting point is 00:52:42 And for that, there's Cuts clothing. They've taken a fashion staple. You guys familiar with plain t-shirts? I am. Well, they've refined it combining premium quality with a minimalist aesthetic. And I have to say, minimalist stuff is in right now. You don't want to be doing too much.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Everybody knows that. Yeah, look at like all of us right now. We're wearing very minimalist shirts. Just plain tees, dog. Cuts shirts, polos, hoodies, and crew sweatshirts are made for the man who works hard, plays hard, and never settles for less, all in the sport of business. And they're built for performance in the boardroom, the bar, the gym, the discotheca.
Starting point is 00:53:11 They keep you sharp wherever the game takes you. They took a plane tee, and they made a Tony Stark, baby. That's a Game of Thrones character, am I right? No. Cool. That's an Iron Man character. Right on. Yeah, very cool.
Starting point is 00:53:24 I've seen both of them. You're thinking of Ned Stark. Cool. That's an Iron Man character. Right on. Yeah. Very cool. I've seen both of them. You're thinking of Ned Stark. Yeah. Or Sark. Having some success with that Texas offense. Oh, he's... Wow. Did you hear about Texas being back?
Starting point is 00:53:35 I'm going to give the hat tip to old Casey out there instead of Sark. Okay. Okay. In 2016, Cuts founder Steve Borelli, he set out to create clothes that are ready for every occasion the modern man faces. And what he did? He reinvented the T-shirt. GQ called it the only T-shirt worth wearing. That's high praise from GQ.
Starting point is 00:53:54 I mean, they're gentlemen's quarterly. Wow. And they release something monthly. No one's doing that. You've never read it, Dylan. You're no gentleman. True. I wouldn't say that, but.
Starting point is 00:54:02 You read Rowdy Gentleman, our GQ. Okay. The perfect T-shirt, they accomplished it. And now, they set out to create a fabric uniquely engineered for each clothing style. Consider the new Cuts hoodie, where they developed a Hyperloop French Terry fabric. A textile that's temperature controlled and ageless. You'll never have to take it off, and you certainly won't want to. Or they even have their wrinkle-free Pika Polo,
Starting point is 00:54:27 a design that keeps you fitted for the office, the golf course, at home, the gym, or your next hot date. Shouts all the hot dates out there. Oh, yeah. I'm actually trying to have a hot date this week. I put it out there. I was like, I think it's time for a date night. Where are you going? I don't know, but I'll be wearing cuts, baby.

We're going to go take a little trip down memory lane again. And we're going to go to the stream room, baby.
Starting point is 00:55:04 Not really. we're not actually gonna break down anything but i figured uh that was the the best name for this are you serious i watched that movie for nothing yeah what movie did you watch last night judge dread very cool what are we doing right now uh the mario cast What is going on? Okay, so they're making a Mario movie, and they cast a bunch of people who probably shouldn't be cast in the movie. Is this official? These aren't being floated. This is the actual people who are.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Chris Pratt is Mario. His voice, to me, doesn't sound like Mario. Is he actually going to be doing. I feel like Randy knows the lowdown on this. It's a me. Randy was in Aurora all weekend. Does he say it's a me in the movie? We got Charlie Day as Luigi, which I actually like that one.
Starting point is 00:55:50 I actually think that could be fun. Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach. You're more familiar with her work than I am. I have no idea who that is. She was from The Queen's Gambit, Dylan, a show that you were obsessed with. Oh, the main character. Yeah. She's a very talented young lady.
Starting point is 00:56:04 We have Jack Black. Dave's favorite actor, Jack Black, is Bowser. Oh, the main character. Yeah. She's a very talented young lady. We have Jack Black. Dave's favorite actor, Jack Black, is Bowser. Okay, I can see that. You know what? The only one I really have an issue with so far is Mario. Do you want Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong? I don't hate that. Hey, here's a really stupid question from someone who has no idea anything about this movie.
Starting point is 00:56:27 This is an animated movie, correct? I believe so. And the reason I say that is because I watched or I was reading something about how Robin Williams was hesitant to take the role of the genie in Aladdin because he had a lot of respect for voice actors. And his fear was that if he was going to be the genie in Aladdin, he would end up putting other voice actors out of work by opening the door
Starting point is 00:56:47 for a bunch of A-list celebrities to come in and take that. And so he even had it, I think he had it in his contract for Disney to not use him to promote the movie. Like he wasn't the main promotion point of the movie.
Starting point is 00:57:02 He didn't want them to just use him as like, oh, it's Robin Williams as Genie. Well, I don't know if he started a movement there, but it certainly has been taken over by A-list actors at this point. Yeah, I don't think voice actors even exist anymore at this point. Except for Adim Dizel. Good on him for looking out for the little man.
Starting point is 00:57:19 The other guys. Good for him. I don't know. He made good money in voiceover work. I want to see a Mario movie. I want to see the Super Mario Bros. It's a me! But I don't know how to feel about this movie at this
Starting point is 00:57:32 point. Mario. Fred Armisen is Cranky Kong. Wow. I can't believe they didn't give that to me. That dude's hilarious. They call you Cranky Kong? Why are they calling you that? They call him Cranky Kong. Cranky Kong is the old Bag of Bones. They also have Sebastian Maniscalco.
Starting point is 00:57:51 You got familiar with him? Sebastian Janikowski? No. No. He clearly didn't say that, but similar, if not identical amount of syllables. What was the first other name? Maniscalco? Maniscalco.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Maniscalco. Janikowski. How do you know this so fast? I count them real quickly in my head, man. It doesn't make sense to me. Maniscalco. That was four. Janikowski. How do you know this so fast? I count them real quickly in my head, man. Man, that is some party trick. Yep. Seven syllables. I don't think we're going to do this in the stream room,
Starting point is 00:58:13 nor do I think we're going to go to the movie theater and watch this with Dave and Joker make up. I will watch this movie. Will you do it in Joker make up at the movie theater? I probably won't leave my home as we have a baby. You know what I mean? I don't want to be Guy bringing the baby to the movie. That's not a good move. I'll take the homie.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Does anybody want to go see James Bond in theaters with me? Yes. Yeah. I'd like to go see Top Gun with me in 2023 when it comes out. We get to see Academy Award winner Remy Malek for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. What do you hate more? Bohemian Rhapsody. What do you hate more? Bohemian Rhapsody?
Starting point is 00:58:47 Yes. That's absolutely. Are you ready for what I'm going to say? You're going to say The Pest with John Leguizamo. No, no, no. Ozark. Bohemian Rhapsody. You hate, okay, because you very much dislike both of these.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Yeah, you know, I, you know what this is now i'm not i'm really thinking about it it's tough damn it yeah it's just i just didn't think he was that good and he won the i wouldn't hate it as much if he didn't win the oscar and if people weren't like immediately like oh my god this is groundbreaking performance i It wasn't that good. And the movie itself is milquetoast. Oh, come on. What is milquetoast? It's just like it's a puff piece for Queen. Like they don't get into like they were not allowed to get into a lot of the stuff.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Damn, I'm trying to puff some pieces with Queens. Okay. I don't know what that meant. I'm sorry. Puffs and pieces. Thank you. Do you want to know who he was up against in 2019 for this? It's going to make me mad.
Starting point is 00:59:51 I've never seen any of the other movies. Jonathan Pryce and the Two Popes, Adam Driver, Marriage Story, Leonardo DiCaprio and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Antonio Banderas, Pain and Glory. How does Leo not win that? I don't know. Because the movie was seven hours long. Maybe. It was a fine movie.
Starting point is 01:00:07 I don't know if that year packed a bunch. I'm sorry. I had that incorrect. That was the year Joaquin Phoenix won. Viggo Mortensen for Green Book. Willem Dafoe for At Eternity's Gate. Bradley Cooper, A Star is Born. Christian Bale as Dick Cheney in Vice.
Starting point is 01:00:23 And then Rami Malek won for Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm honestly surprised Christian Bale did not win. Vice was good. They love a good – Hollywood loves a political depiction. Sure. One that kind of lampoons someone they may not like, like Dick Cheney. My lampoons. Lampoons.
Starting point is 01:00:43 And that's surprising. But whatever, man. I don't care. Ozark's... I will at least grant you that Ozark had some good episodes in season one. Bohemian Rhapsody was just never good.
Starting point is 01:00:55 I liked Bohemian Rhapsody. I did. I liked hearing Queen songs. I'll say this for it. It made me appreciate Queen more than I did before, which I already did, but I love their music.
Starting point is 01:01:04 I should also say this. i have a different viewing experience of bohemian rhapsody as i watched it on a plane which if you're watching a movie on a plane and you're en route somewhere that is fun and you're excited for it you're automatically going to like that movie more than you originally would like that movie and i was on my way somewhere i think i might have been on my way to our wedding so yeah i probably yeah you were uh very cool you were yeah you were high on vibes man endorphins and whatnot can i tell you guys something that i watched this weekend that i would implore other people to check out at least one episode of i guess i was scrolling netflix on thursday night thursday evening sally was out at a happy hour that she went to for five hours.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Kind of must be nice. Happy hours. Yeah. So I was bored and I was like, you know what? I'm going to watch something that I wouldn't watch with Sally because there's no way that she would actually want to sit down and watch this. And when I saw that the number one series on Netflix was a show called Squid Game,
Starting point is 01:02:02 a Korean thriller, I was like, you know what? I i'm trying this have you guys heard about this show i have not have you guys seen the hunger games oh yeah i've seen parts of every one of those have you seen the original hunger games the condemned starring stone cold steve austin no yes i had it's amazing i have seen I mean, the Hunger Games essentially saw the condemned, and they were like, oh, we should do this for kids. Weren't there books? Who cares, man?
Starting point is 01:02:30 Stone Cold was the original. Steve Austin effect. Yeah, Jennifer Lawrence took all his clout. He's got a podcast. Squid Game is a show about a bunch of people who have debts, very large debts, whether it's gambling debts, whether it's because they are in financial trouble. They wanted to go to college.
Starting point is 01:02:48 And these people, okay. Hey. Oh, hey. What's a scam without acting like they're a scam? Hey, am I right? And they take these people with their debts and they bring them to an island and they have a money game where they play red light, green light among other children's games. And the winner gets hundreds of millions of dollars, I believe. I'm not really sure how the conversion rate works on this show.
Starting point is 01:03:11 And the losers just get shot dead. So this isn't a reality show. No, no. This is an actual game. Yeah. It is some of the most anxiety-inducing television that I've ever seen. Do you recommend it? I recommend it.
Starting point is 01:03:26 I am three episodes in, and I have to say I am absolutely entranced by this show. Do you watch it on Sunday evenings? I did not watch it last night. I did fall asleep midway through the third episode, so I have to go back and watch the final 15 to 20 minutes. It was because it was late, not because I was not enjoying it. I think I'm just falling asleep like crazy lately during TV time. It's this kid, man.
Starting point is 01:03:49 Yeah. I've drifted off on my couch unintentionally more times than I have in my life in the last, like, month. Dude, it's difficult. And if you have to read the stuff, too, it just makes me fall asleep even faster. I'm telling you, go watch the trailer for Squid Game because you will be so confused. I will give it a shot. I'll give this a shot. The actual scale of the show is shocking.
Starting point is 01:04:12 Like, there's just so much in play. Please just go watch it. I'm going. I just told you I would. Have you started Only Murders in the Building yet? Oh, fuck. That's what I keep forgetting to start. So, no, I haven't. So, you're not starting either of fuck. That's what I keep forgetting to start.
Starting point is 01:04:25 So, no, I haven't. So, you're not starting either of these. It's on what? Hulu. Oh, I'm so in on that. Is it legit or is it legit? Martin Short, Steve Martin, Selena Gomez. It's an absolute delight. Everyone's been clamoring for these three to get together,
Starting point is 01:04:41 and they finally did. Actually, it was so good that it got the top billing of something that I think everyone can agree is pretty much like the who's who of Hollywood. Micah's Read of the Week. Did Micah give me any credit for recommending that show to him? No, he did not. What a jerk. I know.
Starting point is 01:04:58 He's rude. He's rude. Good grief. Speaking of jerks, we've got Brett in the building. Oh, he's a nice fella. I know. I like Brett. I didn't even notice Dylan's little tan until right now.
Starting point is 01:05:10 What? Are you even tan, dude? Did I? San Diego. What? Oh, we got Brett's Breaking News presented by CrowdHealth. Is this the first time that Brett's Breaking News has been sponsored? Your segment is sponsored.
Starting point is 01:05:22 Congrats. A non-small business, yes. They might be a small business. I don't know. Dude, think about all the Americans out there. There's even, like, how more than, like, there's half of Americans are on a high-deductible health insurance plan on the hook for thousands of dollars of deductibles, co-pays, and sky-high premiums.
Starting point is 01:05:37 Boy, they'll get you. I learned that the hard way. I think I chose the wrong plan when we were doing our thing. Everyone's got a tale about getting got by these companies, man. For many people in the U.S. concerned about the cost of health insurance, there are really no good options. You either go uninsured or you pay through the nose for a high deductible plan with questionable coverage, all because of a broken health insurance system.
Starting point is 01:05:55 Dave, you just wanted to make this into a segment, right? Yeah. You want to talk about that at length. Yeah, I've got some talking points. It's like being stuck with an outdated cable TV plan and not knowing about Netflix. Can you imagine? No, I cannot. But guess what?
Starting point is 01:06:09 I've got something that isn't health insurance. It's just a better way to pay medical expenses. I'm talking about CrowdHealth. It's a community of people who are tired of paying for a broken system, a place where you can get a simple, flexible, and affordable way to pay for your health care. Being in the CrowdHealth community, you can save hundreds of dollars monthly and pay thousands of dollars or put thousands of dollars
Starting point is 01:06:27 back into your pocket. Careful there. No, we don't pay. No, no, no. I made my clarification there. Made my clarification. It's flexible. Membership is a monthly subscription. You can start or stop whenever it's convenient for you. And they have simple and transparent pricing, customized to
Starting point is 01:06:43 fit your needs. CrowdHealth lowers your monthly health care costs, and you can see any doctor you want.

And when it comes to membership, like we said, it's a community of health-conscious members who want to get and stay healthy in return for lower prices. Oh, there's incentives. Oh, yeah, baby. Oh, yeah, baby.
Starting point is 01:07:14 CrowdHealth gets rid of the insurance middlemen. Again, these middlemen. I'm starting to feel bad for them at this point. Throw them out the club. Mm-mm. They're done. Unless they sell ads. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:23 And 100% of your monthly membership pays for actual healthcare costs, helping the whole CrowdHealth community stay healthy while keeping more money in your pocket.

It's a community-powered alternative. Terms and conditions may apply. Brett, hit us with that breaking news. Sure thing, Will.
Starting point is 01:08:10 Dylan, since you're riding high off your nap, which I'm sure... Did you hear about my nap? I have yet to hear about it. I'm sure it's a fantastic segment that I will go back and listen to closely. Do you want to go? Shithead kids, crypto, or geomagnetic atmospheric conditions? Oh, well, I'm obviously going to start with geomagnetic atmospheric conditions. That sounds lit. Gak.
Starting point is 01:08:28 It's lit. It's lit because guess what? There's a G2 solar storm on the way, Dylan. G2 solar storm. Okay, solar, sun, storm, G2. What does it mean? G2 is the second highest level of G5, which is the most severe of solar storms. Oh, I was hoping that it was going to rain G2 on us. Gatorade style, baby.
Starting point is 01:08:46 What does that mean for us? Low sugar. That means that satellites may go out? Oh, you're not going to get texts anymore again. What is a solar storm? You got that new phone on you, and you're not going to get texts, dog. A solar storm is when the sun releases a solar coronal mass ejection. Oh, hey, when that happens.
Starting point is 01:09:05 Solar winds unleashed from a hole that has opened up in the sun's corona. Dave? What happened to your corona? Hit the button. Okay, that explains nothing. I don't know what that means, but it sounds kind of scary.
Starting point is 01:09:20 So the sun drank too much corona and now it's going to have a... Now she's leaking. It booted. Here's the deal. If you're in New York or Wisconsin, perhaps, you're going to see the Northern Lights. Scani? Really?
Starting point is 01:09:33 Yeah. Let's fly out there. Wow. Pretty cool. If you're north of that, your cell phone may not work. You guys ever seen the Northern Lights? No. If you travel on a plane up there, they may lose their communication systems periodically.
Starting point is 01:09:47 It's a problem. There's a lot of movies out there that deal with a bad solar storm that notches the world's communication. Dude, we're in trouble if internet goes down. Not just the company, but everybody. Party? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:57 Internet parties are in big trouble. No, no, no. There are 101 episodes as of, or will be as of this week. They just need to call their, they're just going to have to rename. Party. Yeah. It. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:06 Just saying. That's a good pod name. If this thing gets worse than a G2, people will be talking about it. I just want to be, I want us to be early on this. Wow. That's understandable. We called it. We're the, what's the guy's name?
Starting point is 01:10:16 The Michael Berry of Solar Storms. Who's Michael Berry? Dude, not getting a forecast of the UT games is a huge downer at this point. I'm sorry? What? Oh, you're talking about our guy? Scott Fisher? Oh.
Starting point is 01:10:31 That guy's crazy. His contract expired with the university, apparently. I don't know. They just kind of shoot him out. You've got to renew that. Chris Del Conte, you were like, yeah, you're gone. He's got to name his price, man. You've got to get the guy back on board.
Starting point is 01:10:41 No, they've dropped a lot of the bits at the games, and I have to say, it's a good thing. How does the south end zone look? Does it look lit? It's good, except for the longhorn is off-center. No. It does not line up correctly with the goalpost. Dude, there's no way. I'm going to check this out. It's slightly off-center.
Starting point is 01:11:00 And that is a tough thing to know. It's hard to look at that and think about how it's just like three feet to the side. Are they going to put like a logo next to it? Like the something something South End Zone? I don't know. It also sucks because all the people that have the seats in the South End Zone also have access to the field.
Starting point is 01:11:18 I assume that they're very expensive tickets. But instead of sitting in the seats, everyone goes to the field. So it looks like there's just an entire part of the stadium that's just completely empty. It's a tough look for the stadium. It's too bad. Putting it out there. Will, you fancy yourself in the image of a British outdoorsman, correct? Sure. I've taken walks in Britain before.
Starting point is 01:11:40 Well, British outdoorsman Richard Mavor. Mm-hmm. Oh, I know him well dickie mave he has spotted something what in scotland's loch ness scotland did he get the loch ness monster randy help me out he hits with a photo of this look at this just on the kind of not the shore but where the the water begins to drop off that is such a Photoshop. He captured this with his drone. It's a Photoshop. Yeah, that's just not the Loch Ness Monster. Wait, where are we thinking it is?
Starting point is 01:12:10 Right. This is center to left bottom screen. There's one, two, three, four, five, six. There's six kayaks right here ready to go out on a nice little voyage on the Loch. And you're telling me that none of these people seemed that concerned with the Loch Ness Monster? Well, they couldn't see it. They didn't know in real time. He just took a nice little drone shot when they were chilling on the shore
Starting point is 01:12:30 and only discovered this when a YouTube commenter said, hey, go to like four minutes. Look around the water's edge. We don't have the swim that gets swimming? We just have the still? I have the still right now. I've not done my own research. I'm going to have to review right now. I've not done my own research.
Starting point is 01:12:46 I'm going to have to review the tape. I actually did a research project on this in eighth grade. Do you guys want me to bring that up? What did you find? I think it's a white dog place. There's a lot of evidence against the Loch Ness Monster being real. What? Why?
Starting point is 01:12:57 I think the original photo that you see, if you just Google Loch Ness Monster, the guy who took that photo admitted to faking it. Yeah, it's tough. Yeah, it's not ideal. There is just reports of a mysterious monster in that loch dating back hundreds of years, though. I would love to go to Loch Ness. I've never done it. My parents went there when they were at a wedding overseas when I was a very young child, and they brought me back a golf ball that had the Loch Ness Monster on it. Shouts to Nessie. The theory is
Starting point is 01:13:23 relatively plausible, though. Well, it's one of the deepest. I think it's one of the deepest lakes there is. It is. And it was open to the sea not long ago. The statistic that we've only discovered or explored an X percentage of the ocean, and we know there's millions of species that we've never even seen. There's something like that in the ocean.
Starting point is 01:13:45 Like for sure, right? They say it's a plesiosaur, Dylan. You know a plesiosaur. Oh, I thought I was going to guess. They're like the brontosaurus of the water. It's not real. Plesiosaur are real. Couldn't tell you.
Starting point is 01:13:59 Yeah, you're the dinosaur guy. I need to see actual video of this. I'm going to spend the rest of my day looking at videos of this and like zooming in shots of nessie yeah where's the video dog it's on his it's on his page we can go watch it i just pulled the still for the purpose of this podcast i don't know ma'am i'm intrigued brett you have my attention i'm not saying one way or the other but it's something that's definitely worth looking into. Dave is the crypto expert on this podcast.
Starting point is 01:14:31 Dave, you were a shithead kid back in the day, right? No. Okay. Yes. I have a story about shithead kids from California. California teens are scary. What do they do this time? California restaurant has banned customers under 18 unless they're accompanied by an adult okay red rooster burgers and brew said young people are no longer welcome because of recent vandalization somebody unscrewed the the salt shaker to like prank their friend one too many times i got the list here you want the rap sheet dave yeah i guess so they were trying to put a bunch of they were all all just stuffing saltines in their mouths trying to do it in under a minute. That's a thing.
Starting point is 01:15:09 Fries being thrown at employees. A condom left in the bathroom. Oh. Candy being stuck to the ceilings. And condiments being squirted into the wrong bottles and thrown around the premises. Yeah, get these kids out of there. Yeah, I'm fine with this. Customers were sitting on the baby changing tables in the restrooms making out.
Starting point is 01:15:30 And marijuana was being smoked in the bathroom. You're in California. It seems like the least of it. You're allowed to do that, right? Dylan, were you doing this this weekend? Reefer. Were you doing it? No.
Starting point is 01:15:39 You're our California correspondent for the day. I didn't hit any Js. Why smoke in the bathroom? It's California. I mean, I guess if you're under 18, you can't. I don't know what the law is. Recently. Just go smoke it outside.
Starting point is 01:15:49 A neighbor's Halloween display was also vandalized, and we found pieces of it in our parking lot. That's where I draw the line. The owner of Rooster. Red Rooster? Red Rooster Burgers and Brew. I love their burgers. This is why we can't actually do a Wilmont's,
Starting point is 01:16:04 because if we had a bunch of cool teens take over and start fucking shit up, I'm not going to do anything about it. No. I'm going to be absolutely frightened. It's like, no, have at it. Is this part of the Dude Devious Licks Challenge? This is the Dude Perfect Tour. This is all in connection and conjunction with Dude Perfect.
Starting point is 01:16:21 Are we going to Dude Perfect in San Antonio? They're selling out arenas and shit. If Chad would hit us up with some gear and tickets. We're going to the show. Get us backstage. Get us on the bus. Just ride around in the Jerry van. The Dude Bus.

Starting point is 01:17:05 What can I say? I understand. Vizzy Hart-Seltzer. Just a Yingling. Had one at Walk-Ons, which we watched the Florida-Tennessee game at this weekend. It's called Walk-Ons. That's a sick story.
Starting point is 01:17:20 Yeah, fun fact about me. Bistro, spelled with an E-A-U-X. I was buying booze for the get-together on Saturday, and I meant to buy Yingling. Accidentally bought Yingling Lite. I was like, you know what? I'll try it. How'd it go? Pretty good.
Starting point is 01:17:34 Yeah. Pretty good. Very fun. Yeah. Man, sick. That'll conclude this episode. Hey, how'd you golf? You know, I struck the ball well.
Starting point is 01:17:46 That's all we can ask for. The back felt great. Hey, what did the squad shoot on Friday now that we got both of you here? I think I went 47-49. Wow. Only one lost ball, 47-49. That's insane.
Starting point is 01:17:59 Those greens are ridiculous right now. Those are either one or two. 1A, 1B, like the toughest greens, the quickest. Who was your 4 caddie? Did Dave mention his putt? No, Dave did not mention his putt. Was it the first hole? Oh, on one? Oh yeah, a 5 putt at one.
Starting point is 01:18:16 So I put it to the back, on the green, well, back of the green. I didn't know we were doing an impromptu expose him segment. We can expose him. I 4 putted, I think, twice. Who won Wolf? You did. Yeah, that's right. Because he put 20 points in the last hole. He won the last hole.
Starting point is 01:18:28 It's king shit, dog. Yeah, I did five putts. Or four or five putts. Either way, too many putts. You know? Not great. We all fell victim to that. Dude.
Starting point is 01:18:40 Oh, do you get a bad read from the fourth day? No, but I just. No, his read was right. He said, it's going to be fast. He should have said barely tap it, which he said later, because I put a little bit, you know, I'm putting from the fringe and this thing went all the way down to the front of the green. It was, it was so bad.
Starting point is 01:18:58 It was so bad. There were, there were instances where like you, the ball would stop and you'd be walking to, to go do whatever. And then you'd look back at the ball and it would be 30 feet left of where you just hit it. I was like, wait a second. Couldn't complain, though. Weather was great. Oh, beautiful weather. Transfusions, things of that nature. Shouts to Ryan.
Starting point is 01:19:15 I'll catch you next time, man. Shouts to Ryan, for sure. We had Jared on the four-taddy. Wow. Who weirdly lives in my apartment complex. So I got his number. Yeah, we did. We changed numbers. Was he born in my apartment complex. Swag. I got his number. Yeah, we did. We changed numbers. Was he born in the same hospital as Randy as well? That would be, I would not be able to handle that. All these Indiana folk.
Starting point is 01:19:34 He's a nice guy though. But yeah, he's a semi-pro golfer. On the semi-pro tours, which I think are just pro tours, but not the big ones yet. Yeah. They're for semis. They play with a semi. That's one stipulation. That's what fucking Sergio was doing this week.
Starting point is 01:19:49 That was just rocked up. What was that guy doing with the camera? I don't know. He was rocked. I thought he was taking a piss. Oh, on the green? I think he saw that his fly was down and he couldn't get it up. That's what, yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:58 Oh, I thought this dude just had to pee so bad. Nobody would notice if I just pull it out of here. Shall we? Let's go. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
