I just don't like lids i have no ceilings david just a weird deal this this is gonna be an interesting podcast it's gonna be a lot of energy for a monday i don't think the people know what they what we have in store for them dylan what's up fam uh i got some anxiety about the dress situation i get i gotta do tomorrow um so that's like it's hanging over my head and it's really affecting my psyche.
Starting point is 00:01:26 By the time people hear this, no one's going to give a shit anymore. It's going to be like long gone. I'm just sharing it with the people because it's on my, it's at the forefront of my mind right now. Dude, what if you look hot in a dress? I probably will look hot, but that's not the point here. I'm still going to be pretty humiliated. You got to wear me undies.
Starting point is 00:01:41 I'm going to give them a free plug. Okay. Fine. Like the pizza slice. wear me undies i'm gonna give them a free free plug okay fine like the pizza slice pizza slice undies you can't pick out my i'm picking out your okay okay so i got that not going for me i guess you could say well other than that man i'm really happy to be here two straight podcasts you've come in with like some kind of like no you're having no like you got to bring a little bit my. My energy's great. I feel I'm happy.
Starting point is 00:02:06 I just have some anxiety that I'm trying to push away. Have you ever heard of CBD? Yeah, man. Just smoke weed before it, dude. We're in the early bird CBD studio. Smoke weed every day. That's my mantra. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Just blaze up before you go get in your dress and stand in line for barbecue. I've got a CBD vape pen. I'll let you hit. All right, dog. You really want it. Thanks, player. It's fucked up that you're not getting Dave and I barbecue. Dude, it a CBD vape pen. I'll let you hit. All right, dog. You really want it. Thanks, player. It's fucked up that you're not getting Dave and I barbecue.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Dude, it's not. It is. It's not. It's messed up, dude. People, if you want barbecue, you wait in line. Dude, break us off some. I want just one piece of brisket
Starting point is 00:02:39 just so I can see what it tastes like. And you're depriving me of that because you're just... Dude, I honestly... If you're really nice to me, I might surprise you. I really want Will to try it because I can see Will being like
Starting point is 00:02:47 eh it's fine well you know the take you know the take of how most fried chicken kind of all tastes the same yeah it's a bad take
Starting point is 00:02:56 all mediocre no I don't think it is I think when you're in like the mid-range fried chicken I think that's somewhat fair okay and I relate this to barbecue somehow uh
Starting point is 00:03:03 all like the places in Texas where you don't have to wait in line for like a long time. Like a lot of them for me, I'm like, yeah, I don't really have like the palette for this. I taste the exact same as like the other place I went to. You never,
Starting point is 00:03:14 you never had Franklin's correct. Never had Franklin's. You haven't either Dave. Um, I don't think so. A lot of people, a lot of people say Franklin's just like Rudy's. That's exactly.
Starting point is 00:03:22 No one says that. I've never had any kind of barbecue. That's like, I'd say, elevated in Texas. Okay. You've been to Salt Lick. Yes. Does that count? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:32 No. Salt Lick's like an instant. It's like the Matt's El Rancho barbecue. Yeah, I haven't. Wow, that's perfect. I haven't been anywhere yet that's like, you have to go there. Like, it's the best barbecue. The top two in Austin are La Barbecue and Franklin's. Yeah, I haven't been to either. I haven't are La Barbecue and Franklin's, in my opinion.
Starting point is 00:03:45 I haven't been to either. I've always been a big Bill Miller guy. No, you haven't. Someone on my next door app got diarrhea and posted it after reading it, Bill Miller. They didn't post a photo or anything, but they told everybody about it. I had this barbecue in Brooklyn. Here's my diarrhea.
Starting point is 00:03:59 I had this barbecue in Brooklyn that was just really good. It was just two pieces of brisket and some green beans. It was just the best. Let's get to our guest already. We got a special guest. I'm going to let Dave introduce him. Yeah, it's at Flounder on Da Fly on Instagram. It's Clay Guest, noted Duncanville legend.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Yo, yo, yo. Glad to be here, guys. Let's get into it, man. Thanks for having me on today. It sounds like we got into it pretty well. I feel like we could wrap the pot up now. We got into some of Will's horrible takes already on barbecue. I cannot believe this.
Starting point is 00:04:30 I've been in the studio 30 seconds, and he's already dissing Texas barbecue. I'm not dissing it. No, I'm not dissing it at all. I like barbecue. But I haven't been to an establishment yet that people are obsessed with. You know what I mean? Like Franklin. I might bring you some Franklins.
Starting point is 00:04:47 I just want one bite. Okay, okay. Just one bite. You have to come to me, though. I'm not going to deliver it. But why have me? You've lived here how long? The reason I haven't done it is because I don't want to wait in line.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Do you know about the Franklin situation, Clint? Yeah, I understand. You've got to wait in line. It's like a three-hour. Yeah. They sell out for like 10 a.m., 11 a.m., whatever. Yeah. It's like going to Austin and not going to a football game.
Starting point is 00:05:11 I mean, it's something you've got to do. Punch your card, man. Get it done. Punch it. You're not wrong. You're not wrong. You should go with them. I was just hoping.
Starting point is 00:05:20 No, I actually can't. Why not? I can't. You know the story. Clay doesn't listen to the podcast, so he doesn't understand. No, no, no. I get it. I do listen to podcasts.
Starting point is 00:05:28 It's ridiculous. I listen all the time, man. I'm always talking. Yeah, I know. You lost your fantasy football, bae. You got to stand outside. Exactly. Are you in a league, a fantasy league?
Starting point is 00:05:37 Yeah. Do you all do a last place? I'm in two leagues. Get the mic close to the mouth. Oh, okay. His volume is so high. Good job, daddy. I'm bringing the energy. I think we can put it on the shelf bringing it yeah i'm bringing the energy
Starting point is 00:05:47 here uh so no and neither of the leagues i'm in one's a work league and one's buddies you don't you know you don't know i think i thought you were in the league at one time but uh no no last place uh prize reward or whatever you want to call it must Must be nice. Yeah. But I always finish it. I'm a top tier. I'm always in the top tier. Have you ever won a league? Yeah, I did. Oh, nice. So I thought about what I should do is for a league,
Starting point is 00:06:12 which is a good punishment now, is for if I win the league, I was going to go get boudoir photos taken with the trophy that we have and just send them out to everybody and have that as my photo. Explain to the folks at home what boudoir photos are so uh boudoir photos from all the research that i've done are photos i guess a woman takes before their wedding night to give to their husband and they're not like nude photos but they're like uh lingerie lingerie photos sexy they're tasteful yeah tasteful photo so my idea was to be like me
Starting point is 00:06:47 like with this as i am a man of size uh as y'all tell seen by some of the photos dave's posted like with this belt we have a fantasy football belt like me like looking outside a window with a fantasy football belt draped over my shoulder and i think you should do this regardless yeah well i don't think this is like if you win kind of thing yeah i see if i can go viral we'll see is there is there somebody in your hometown of midlothian texas that could take these photos i i have yeah it's there's not there's not the uh you have to go out of town for this yeah i looked it up actually because i did no i think you find a small town boudoir photographer i think that's what they even want to be like a little little shitty one that you're
Starting point is 00:07:25 gonna see it uh like the the two restaurants in town her resume was four years at glamour shots yeah oh shit it'd be the second time you went viral for a football related uh it would it would be yeah so yeah hey explain uh so people don't know you were the original uh zeke elliott halloween costume guy. You went macro viral. That was, thanks to you guys. But yeah, I did. I won a $250 gift card for it, I think.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Was that to Man Outfitters or Yeti? Man Outfitters. Okay. I actually went on... We're not affiliated, so you don't have to gas them up anymore. No, no, no. You can shout them out. They're nice
Starting point is 00:08:05 people uh yeah i i went viral with it they got a good sweater out of it i wore the sweater or wear a sweater uh over this christmas and actually went viral on another photo the one of the horse photo i think you posted oh yeah uh didn't bar still pick up the zeke one yes yeah they did poor uh dave portnoy, their CEO, right? No. What is he? What's his actual title? He's the founder.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Oh, yeah. Obviously, he's the founder. He was a big fan of it. Yeah. I think he saw it and was like, wow, I've got to post this. I reached out to him, actually,
Starting point is 00:08:37 and told him thank you and said a big spill. And surprisingly, I get nothing back from him. Yeah. That sounds about right. That sounds about right so he's not really doing straight about it sounds about right did you get tagged in it we tagged yeah y'all tag
Starting point is 00:08:50 i got some followers out of it i'm not uh i think i'm in like the six seven hundred range on followers so i'm not really huge on insta you're about to blow up though man you're at like what what kind of decision did you have to make when you were trying to go between the and uh oh uh it really was a tough decision and dave told me that he goes man we got to get you a new handle because it's way too long and i still hadn't fixed it yet so i think it's great man yeah once you fix that mic technique for us one time player you are hating i don't know where to put this i've just worried people i'm usually pretty good with mics i talk on them sometimes you know you're a hands guy you're a very boisterous hands guy so it makes it difficult it's okay though no i'm just i'm giving you shit
Starting point is 00:09:33 um the zeke costume uh where was that was that at just some like little house party i think it was a house party with 12 people there okay so was it like did you feel like it got obviously it ended up paying off dividends as far as social media but like at the time were you like man did i did i burn this like i should be like at a costume party with this no i was kind of worried i was like like oh no i was you know i was like thinking it was going to give off a wrong vibe or professional vibe or something that somebody's going to pick it up and you know go like oh I was always going to be the Zeke guy, which I guess I am on this podcast now since we started about it. Well, it started a chain of events on my Twitter account,
Starting point is 00:10:12 at D. Carter Ruff on Twitter and Snap, at DC Ruff on Instagram, where I just post your photos as you send them to me. Yeah, yeah. So I've enjoyed that. It's given me a chronological log of my life that I can keep up with and pass down, so thanks for keep posting those photos. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:10:31 I'll keep the content coming. I'm not like Will. I can't make a coffee table look good. Yeah, you know what it is. I can make some slick back hair and a natural setting. Yeah, you have a rustic style. Yeah. Your trip to Jackson Hole
Starting point is 00:10:47 was just something to behold the entire time. The fits that you got off there, the jacket you bought with the fringe. It was, yeah. Did you buy that jacket just for that trip?
Starting point is 00:10:55 I totally did. I used it in an auctioneering gig. All right, explain that. So you do, you're an auctioneer. Are you certified? So I do it on the side. I don't get any money for it.
Starting point is 00:11:09 I have not been to school for all the auctioneers out there who are like bagging on me. I have not. I just kind of learned to throw some numbers. Do you have a lot of auctioneers bagging on you? Wait, yeah. What community is this? Are you just getting roasted on Reddit?
Starting point is 00:11:20 No, you're supposed to have the auctioneer thread on Reddit. They just go in on each other they're just fucking firing at you it's just really you can't get a word you can't hold it brutal in there you can't dodge it um no you're supposed to in the state of texas you're supposed to be a licensed auctioneer if you receive money or anything for it and i don't receive money or anything for it everything i do is what do you receive? Just a good time. Just good vibes? No, good vibes, man. Lots of good vibes.
Starting point is 00:11:49 And it's a way of giving back. Okay. I enjoy it. It is. Can you give us an auctioneer voice? Hey, you better already have 905. I better have five and a half. Go six.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Now six. Now six. Now I got six and a half. Six and a half. Six dollar bet on out. I can keep on going if we want. That's pretty good. That's pretty good for a Monday.
Starting point is 00:12:04 That's pretty good. Did you just practice that? Since you didn't get certified, did you just practice that? I did. Yeah. For like days? all about it now. I can keep on going if we want. That's pretty good. That's pretty good for a Monday. That's pretty good for an amateur. Since you didn't get certified, did you just practice in front of the mirror for like days? Yeah, I did. I did just practice in front of the mirror.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Well, if we ever have some kind of charity auction, you're our guy. I can give it up, man. A lot of people have to take out student loans to go to auctioneering school.
Starting point is 00:12:18 It's really like a big bubble. It's a week-long course. I've looked into it, but I can't. I have no idea there's an actual certification involved in auctioneering. Unfortunately, I got a real job,, but I can't. I had no idea there was an actual certification involved in auctioneering.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Unfortunately, I got a real job, and so I can't. What do you do? I'm a rep. We have a company, and we're a manufacturer's rep, so I sell things into retailers. Are you a fucking salesman? I hope there's some auctioneer on Reddit right now. He's just like, dude, you just said he has a real job,
Starting point is 00:12:41 as if we don't have real jobs. Well, no. Yeah, it's a tough-ass job. Don't get me wrong. It is. I put a lot of prep into those events. Yeah. I didn't realize you really did that seriously when someone –
Starting point is 00:12:53 Well, I did like four or five years. No, I know. And then like it just – you always show up on like Instagram a couple times a year. I'm like, oh, I forgot. I got one coming up end of this month for a fishing. We got a fishing tournament, and we'll do a live auction there. So check out Barracho Pescador. It's a great fishing tournament.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Raises money for good cause. Is that the one you've been posting about? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Where's it at? Port O'Connor. Oh, hell yeah, bro. Yeah, redfish tournament.
Starting point is 00:13:17 So you got some good big names coming down and some great stuff. When did you make the transition into becoming a fly fishing Instagram influencer? I wouldn't call me that with 600 followers. You're going to have micro influencing. My micro influencing, I was coming back from a fishing tournament, and my buddies all had Instagram, and I was trying to figure out what all these photos and all this stuff they were keeping up with.
Starting point is 00:13:46 So I ended up logging on, getting an account, and only thing I really have to show are phishing photos or where I am. So I'm not, I don't have a whole lot of other good stuff to put out there. That's the last problem to have. Yeah, like what? Dude, I don't have any sick phishing photos.
Starting point is 00:14:02 I don't know what else to throw out. I'm sorry you guys want more from me. Yeah, that's what I got. I'm not... It takes a lot... For you guys to be influencers, it takes a lot of time. You got to set up shop, find the right angles, find all these sun to make sure your photo's right and edit it.

Starting point is 00:16:54 Last time when Will hosted in your place last time, he was just really enthusiastic about it. Yeah. Like overly. Yeah, it was pretty intense. It was intense. I don't think you have anything to worry about up top. I noticed some gray hairs coming through.
Starting point is 00:17:08 I'm on this guy. Dude, gray hairs are great, Clay. Yeah, that's right. My wife likes it. Dude, the ladies love a little gray. She wants me to go gray, so. Hell yeah. Yeah.

But she's a listener and loves y'all. Hell yes. Y'all met her. Wow. Last time we came in town but yeah she's certified mimosas yes she did make mimosas oh yeah when i didn't realize i was going to be driving to the uh so clay took us when when will and i went to a cowboy lion game um it was with clay clay's got some some good seats and
Starting point is 00:17:42 he invited us up so we went and we get to Clay's place. Clay lives south of the Metroplex, Midlothian. And we pull up, and, like, they got mimosas. We're drinking them and pouring me another one. And Clay's like, hey, man, by the way, can you drive? And I'm like three deep. I'm like, yeah, I guess I'll stop drinking, which I wasn't mad about, but it was just funny
Starting point is 00:18:01 because I was like, I was about to just start pounding them. So I'm glad you gave me that heads up. That was a fun day. Well, nonetheless, we all had a good time. This was the first time I got to meet Will. I'm glad y'all had fun, man. Yeah, dude. I asked a lot of questions about Bill.
Starting point is 00:18:14 You should have been there, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe next time. Yeah. You were from Detroit. It was a Detroit game. Yeah, you know, I am a Dallas fan, though. I expect that.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Whatever. We'll get you out to a game, man, for sure. We got to do it. Aren't your seats next to former Longhorn great Roy Williams? Yeah, they are, yeah. He sits next to me. I don't see him as much. Yeah, he comes in.
Starting point is 00:18:34 He comes in for games. I know he played there, but okay. Yeah, played there for a little bit. So give us a rundown, like the landscape of the plus-size Instagram fit model. Well, if you go check out my Instagram page, I'm currently searching for sponsorship. Y'all DM me if anybody's interested out there that's in the plus-size game. But, you know, it's a small niche market.
Starting point is 00:18:56 There's plus-size models out there. And, you know, I'm looking to get into the regular model game, but maybe I got to get my T up to get my weight down. But so far, it's just been a plus-size game. Dude, they get off the most fire fits. And I've learned this because you tag Will and I in probably one a week. Here's what he does. He just tags us in there and then gives his own caption for the photo in the comments.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Yeah, which is kind of dis- I'll be like, I'll sign into Instagram and see the little bubble pop up with like the, whatever, yeah. The noti? Yeah, and it's just this and I'm like, what photo is this? And I click into it
Starting point is 00:19:31 and I'm like, oh, this is just some like- Can you dig through your DMs and share an example? Because I would love to see what- It's been too long. Okay. My notis are too popping right now.
Starting point is 00:19:39 I'm going to work on it. Yeah, I want to see what's going on. Because he doesn't DM, he just comments and just leaves his own. It'll be like a larger man in a tank top and some very short very short shorts and i'll tag dc rough and will defreeze and i'll put like summertime fits you gotta see i mean i guess i can start tagging at circling back pod on it and uh
Starting point is 00:20:03 and maybe they can, can the, I don't know how Instagram works that well. Can the, they see it. If we tag y'all on it, I guess not. We'd have to share the photo. You would have to share it.
Starting point is 00:20:11 So y'all, maybe y'all could share. How did you even break into this market of like finding this stuff? Man, it, it is a wormhole that you do not want to go down. Cause once you're, you can't,
Starting point is 00:20:19 you can't get out of it. There's so much, there's so much content there. There's so many good bits there. Big boy, influencer. Who are like the, who are the big so many good bits there. Big boy influencer market. Who are the big names of that influencer market? I get a good shout out who actually reached out to me.
Starting point is 00:20:32 My boy Showtime. I think it's at Showtime 49. I think I saw him in the airport, but it's kind of like when I first saw Dylan, I kind of got a little nervous. And I didn't want to like go up to him and like just completely reach out to him. But I should have.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Dude, it would have been the gas up of the century if he had a show time. Forty nine. I don't know. What's his what's his name? Name? Oh, man, I don't know that. But he's always I love what he's given. He's always bringing good vibes, telling everybody, you know, to have a good day.
Starting point is 00:21:03 And he's a beast, dude. How is a big day. He's a beast. Dude, how are you not? He's a big man. He's a beast. You need to be in on Spice Adams. My favorite thing about Showtime 49 is that Showtime 49, he does his captions and he capitalizes the first word of every single word in the sentence.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Yeah. Like, no one's doing that. If he comes to Dallas, I need to get a studio. I'll do a pod with him on 5th. He gets off some fire fits, man. Here's a gram he got off three days ago. He's got this dope straw wide brim hat on. I love that.
Starting point is 00:21:33 And a shirt that's unbuttoned, maybe one or two too many. The caption is, damn, Summer, you leaving already? Okay, then I'll holler at you. Oh, that's getting a double pat. That's great, man. He's got tight stuff, dude.

Starting point is 00:27:01 Yeah, we've always said that if we ever go full outdoors, like you're going to be the one to take us there. At some point, we need to do some video content with us. I don't know if it's just fly fishing. I don't know if it's us just shooting clays. I don't know. Here's the deal. Y'all living where you live and not being involved in doing something
Starting point is 00:27:19 is as ridiculous as Will not going and eating barbecue. Okay. I mean, you've got some of the greatest opportunities guadalupe here is a great year-round fishery not only i mean people always think about a flow in it but the winter time here you fish the trout fishing is great there's big fish down there you're close to the texas coast not to mention all the small the lano all the small little rivers you got on here some really good stuff man you know dylan's got he's got a ranch yeah it's tight

You're going to be like, oh, I'm not doing anything this weekend. I'm just going out to the ranch. Talk to you guys later. Man, that's cold. If I were Dave, I'd be beside myself. Us two.
Starting point is 00:28:34 That's fine. Us two. We'll get Clay. We'll get my stepbrother, Zach. That's our ranch. Yeah. You know Zach. It'll be a good time, man.
Starting point is 00:28:42 You know Zach? Yeah. Do I know Zach? Zach is the one I know. Have you met Zach? it will be a good time, man. You know Zach? Yeah. Do I know Zach? Zach is the one I know. Have you met Zach? Oh, I know Will. Will's your other cousin, I know. Will's my cousin.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Zach's my stepbrother. Oh, okay. I was very close. Different people, it turns out. Okay. Yeah. Right on. Good time.
Starting point is 00:28:58 I'm not going to learn that. Clay, what's your favorite Big Cat? Because you're one of many people who, when we do big cat talk, you do enjoy it, but you like to let me know where we've gone a little bit out of bounds and where we're not exactly providing correct information. You're kind of straight. But I got to go, I mean, Mufasa, man, king of the jungle, African lion. Top dog, man, or top cat.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Top cat, also a noted restaurant in Duncanville, if you guys, Dave's hometown. Great fried chicken and fish. Incredible. I think they do a special on Wednesdays. You guys should check it out. At Top Cat, Duncanville. Oh, wow. Have you had the Popeye's chicken sandwich yet?
Starting point is 00:29:38 I was coming back from, I had a show in New Orleans. Actually, I got to fish down there one day, and on the way back from fishing, I stopped and hit every Popeye's, and I hadn't got it yet. I saw your review of it. Yeah, I vlogged it. They had them at the closest Popeye's to us right now. They had them as late as last week. I saw Micah had them.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Micah just went and got one, and I was like, where'd you get that? And he's like, the one right by our place. You should have gone about like 100. I think it's on a low-key hotspot for it, because it's always dead whenever I go there. And I don't think a lot of people know about it. It's also in a really terrible spot where you can't just drive by.
Starting point is 00:30:11 You have to be getting on the highway in order to know that it's there. I think it's a low-key power player in the Popeyes game. It's also brand new. They're going to write a book about it, man. Somebody's going to write a book about the marketing strategies it's done. This is blowing Popeyes up. It's taking them off the charts man We've been talking about it for a long time
Starting point is 00:30:27 You were one of the first guys right For me it goes Popeyes, Halls, then Williams Those are my top three I'll find Dallas Establishment Well I mean Popeyes of course Yeah may as well be Yeah so When we talk big cats
Starting point is 00:30:43 I don't know what our consensus is i feel like the jaguar is a favorite i'm a tiger guy you're a tiger guy yeah that's great they're just so majestic looking big powerful what's the uh what's the story on the mountain lion the mountain lion is something i feel like that's the one we talk about the most because that's usually what's in the news. Yeah. We got anything to worry about mountain lions creeping into, you know, the hill country area? Like, they're on the outskirts, right?
Starting point is 00:31:13 In Texas, in the hill country area, depending on where you're defining the hill country, you mainly find that. I call it home. Yeah. You mainly find them further out west, Big Bend area region, and all the way down, you know, along the border as well. They're not really a problem.
Starting point is 00:31:29 I mean, a problem to some livestock out there, but as far as interactions with humans, you don't have much of a problem in Texas where you get the problem with them is when they are in, when urban sprawl happens and you kind of invade on there. That's what they called me in high school. Urban,
Starting point is 00:31:46 urban sprawl. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, it kind of invades on their territory. So, and they can jump out and gotcha. Hey,
Starting point is 00:31:53 what about that mule deer you were tracking? Oh yeah. Yeah. I posted that video, man. Did y'all ever run them down? Everybody was wanting to know if I got after that big boy and, uh,
Starting point is 00:32:04 cause you're in his domain. Yeah, I'm in his domain. We're trying to get after him. And I'm just going to let you know, I got after a few big boys this year. Oh, really? Yeah, got after a few of them. And, yeah, had some good hunts. What do you mean by get after?
Starting point is 00:32:20 Speak in layman's terms so people know what you're talking about here. We put a good hunt on them, put some good stalks on them and uh and uh we're very successful on getting some some animals you could just say you killed like three deer or something you don't have to i don't think everybody's gonna be offended no yeah we uh i did shoot some deer we we use all the deer uh family and i enjoy eating venison as y'all do y'all like elk Sunday we're doing a bunch of elk Friday it's on Friday
Starting point is 00:32:48 it's a Friday but you can do it on Sunday we did an elk Thursday one time you can really eat but no one's ever done that before you can eat it any day of the week yeah
Starting point is 00:32:54 I love wild game unless you're doing meatless Monday we trapped a badger on our at our ranch yeah I didn't know they were in central Texas
Starting point is 00:33:02 have you been just making like badger jerky and shit no Will shut the fuck up Yeah. I didn't know they were in Central Texas. Have you been just making badger jerky and shit? No, Will. Shut the fuck up. Cool animal. Cool little critters, man. Cool animal that Dylan killed for no reason.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Our neighbor did. Our neighbor did. That's tight, Dylan. Well, you don't want to. They're scrappy. I mean, it's not like people always think animals are going to attack you. They're not. I mean, it's not.
Starting point is 00:33:23 They're scared of you. They're scared. They're going to run before they do. But if you corn, I would not want to get in a fight with a badger. Who you got, Dylan or a badger? Oh, come on. In a cage. They weigh like 25 pounds.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Oh, I like that Clay's just sizing Dylan up right now. I'm sizing Dylan up, man. I'm trying to see what's your leg game like. I have no leg game. Oh, dude, you won't need to stand a chance, bro. What's the largest vicious animal that you could kill with your bare hands? That I could kill with my bare hands?
Starting point is 00:33:44 Yeah. Oh, I don't want nothing. I don't think I could take... No. A Great Dane? No, I couldn't do that, dude. Bigger. I think I could noodle a catfish.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Like a really big... I've never done it. But I think I could handle some... There was like a TV show out on noodling catfish. Noodling is fucking crazy, man. I had a friend who recently went noodling. His stories about it were just insane. You know Dylan on the golf course
Starting point is 00:34:10 plays the noodle golf ball exclusively. Only noodles. Who makes those? Top Fly? Max Fly. Max Fly? No one's talking about Max Fly anymore. No one's doing Max Fly. It's the maximum amount of fly you can have in a golf ball.
Starting point is 00:34:26 We're maxed out with our fly. All right, anyway. Can Dillard take a cheetah? No. Yeah, I can't, man. You can't take a cheetah, dude. Seriously? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Man, you've got some high expectations. They're frail. Look, they're built to run you down in the open field and go for your neck, right? If I'm squared up with one in a cage fight or something. He's running around the cage? Dude, think about taking a cheetah to the mat. It's game over for the cheetah.
Starting point is 00:34:54 They're not strong animals. Their heads are tiny. They've got small jaws. They're built for speed and for running you down. That tiny head is crap. So a cheetah lives in the wild. I'm not saying I can outrun it. I'm not saying you can outrun it, but how does he survive?
Starting point is 00:35:07 He tracks animals down, kills them, and eats them. He kills... Impalas that are the size of you. What is different than an impala in Dillon? A lot. I have hands and thumbs. I have a human brain. I can stand on my...
Starting point is 00:35:21 One has 20-inch blades. I can stand upright. Yeah. That's good, Dave. I'm sorry. Dude, hands and thumbs are huge in a fight. You got to get his neck. That's all you got to do.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Normally, you're in a better position if you have hands and thumbs. If I get his neck, he's done. I just choke it out. I feel like you're overly confident in your thumb game. Do you agree with this? Your thumbs are huge. Dude, your thumbs are... You got bitch-ass thumbs.
Starting point is 00:35:43 You do have bitch thumbs. No, I got tight thumbs. Everyone says I got good thumbs. Your thumbs are kind of... Thumb game's weak, dude. You can take a cheetah game. I can't take... Dude, I'm not saying I can take it.
Starting point is 00:35:52 You think I can take a cheetah? Fuck yeah, you could. Dude, man. I can't even take a large meal of Popeyes. Didn't you get attacked by a bear? Well, that's what I told people at a young age when I started developing stretch marks. I just told girls I got attacked by a bear when i had to take this is this is actually true i
Starting point is 00:36:08 remember that's a great call so yeah so i was like i just got attacked by a bear when i was fishing up in alaska he wanted my salmon clay i got a photo of you from like ninth grade do you remember i got that remember we went mackerel fishing yeah oh it's a great story what was it destin where were we gulf shores gulf shores at a classier than destin yeah at a beach or two church camp there the mega church in grapevine yeah and who's ed young who's the pastor of that church is like one of the best tarpon fishermen in the world competes on the term it's just fly fishing he's fantastic but needless to say this is the greatest day with d. You want to talk about getting Dave in the steam room?
Starting point is 00:36:47 Ninth grade Dave, when some kid tried to take a picture of his fish that he caught on the He did. He got my mackerel and like took in like pose with it. Like it was his trophy. That's messed up. I was like, dude, you didn't catch that. Not to go Obama, but you didn't build that. That's when the steam room started
Starting point is 00:37:05 wow it's your podcast now he's steaming that's amazing that's pretty good it's like asmr yeah dave did not like it but he did dave's been fishing me a couple times we fished we went bass fishing and uh you enjoyed saying fish on every time that we caught a fish. That was at Mountain Creek Lake. We hammered him though, man. We caught, we caught a. Oh, we were dialed. Yeah, we were dialed in parts.
Starting point is 00:37:35 That was when we were early adopters. That was ninth grade. So that was probably like 1998. No, we weren't even in ninth grade. I think we were. We were at, we were in on Abercrombie before anybody. You were in on Abercrombie before anybody. I have to give you props for that. Yeah, I repped it hard.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Back when, like, I feel like Abercrombie had, like, a transition. Well, it used to be a straight-up outdoors company. Yeah. Like, not even, like, a fashion outdoors company. It was, like, Filson or something. Like, it was straight-up meant to be outdoors. Yeah, exactly. And then they were like, oh, we'll make more money by selling to shitty kids in like Southern California.
Starting point is 00:38:06 Or Arlington. Yeah. Or like pretty much literally everywhere. Yeah. And then when they started putting naked people in the magazines,
Starting point is 00:38:12 it was game over. The Quarterly? Oh, man. Have you ever taken The Quarterly? Have you ever taken a Pochette Mode photo of a Quarterly
Starting point is 00:38:20 on one of your accounts? No. I'm going to search Apple Public Quarterly and see if you can get back issues because there are some that I'd like to revisit Apple quarterly and see if you can get back issues because there are some that I'd like to revisit. Weren't they just posting like provocative pictures
Starting point is 00:38:29 of like 15 year olds? We couldn't, like your parents had to go buy you the quarterly. Like it was, it was covered up. Like the old, like the magazines and those dirty gas stations, they get out of black. Yeah, like they straight up had like nude models. They weren't 15, they were of age,
Starting point is 00:38:42 but like they straight up had, I'm looking at like a photo, like photos of it now. They just't 15. They were of age. But they straight up had... I'm looking at photos of it now. They just had 18-year-old dudes wearing nothing. Your Harbor Springs photos look like a where are they now photo spread. Post-ANF quarterly.
Starting point is 00:38:57 They did. They have that weird misty vibe and it's candid. As I look at this, I'm like, yeah, that actually makes sense. No, Clay was a big Aeropostale guy. No, I was not. Okay, so back to big and tall modeling. None of these stores even have good fits anymore.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Like, in Abercrombie, their sizing was so jank. Like, a 2XL in Abercrombie was really like a large. So nothing ever fit there. So I dropped Abercrombie. For Tommy Bahama. Yeah, I did. You're a big Tommy P guy. You know, I'm a casual, relaxed man.
Starting point is 00:39:38 And that's just what I'm trying to spit. You're doing a good job. We got to help. We got to get you involved somehow. We got to get you on with somebody. I'm looking at the index for an Abercrombie & Fitch catalog from summer 2001. An electric lineup.
Starting point is 00:39:53 They had an interview with Kirsten Dunst, DJ Qualls. Do you remember DJ Qualls? He was the weird, creepy kid in Road Trip. The super skinny guy? They also have Jason Schwartzartzman oh really yeah okay from your favorite american pie right dave yeah sean williams scott as well so this is actually american this isn't the latest this isn't the quarterly so they rebranded 2001 which the reason i bring this up is because the the table of contents for this quarterly is actually just a topless chick.
Starting point is 00:40:28 I would hate it if you showed us. Yeah. Like what? Like why are they doing this? Oh, like not even. They're not even trying to get around it. It's just like a topless girl. There's no pixels in that.
Starting point is 00:40:38 No. Abercrombie was wilding back in the day. There's areola in everything. Yeah. Abercrombie was crazy. Man. Dylan, you want to share what you saw at the pool yesterday? Should I? I put you on the spot.
Starting point is 00:40:52 You don't have to. I'm sorry. It was just a young lady in a very aggressive see-through swimsuit. And when I mean, like, very aggressive, like, I could see everything. Like, I could tell the color of her nipple ring like that transparent uh just really aggressive yeah why i don't respect that kind of transparency i don't know i don't respect that kind of transparency that's too transparent it's weird because that pool i know school's back so that takes away from it but there's usually kids at that pool yeah really yeah we? Yeah. We don't have kids at our pool.
Starting point is 00:41:25 It's a blessing. No, this is the gym pool. Oh, the gym pool. Yeah, the gym pool. This is that lifetime. Yes, sir. No, that ain't it. You know what she should have been wearing?

They're an amazing company that is making scrubs stylish and functional for people who deserve it most. For years, all these medical professionals
Starting point is 00:42:23 were forced to wear scratchy, ill-fitting scrubs. It wasn't even for years. They're still doing it. Yeah, they're still doing it. It's gross. I'll walk out of a doctor's office if the dermo or something walks in with some trash scrubs on.
Starting point is 00:42:33 People saying dermo? Yeah. Tight. Tight. Not only were they ugly and uncomfortable, but they weren't designed with innovative technical properties

I do like rubbing you guys the wrong way with Texas a little bit. I love it because I know I can just feel the people at home with the Twitter fingers. That's more of it.
Starting point is 00:44:40 And it's because the only people that talk like hard shit to me on Twitter and stuff are definitely just dudes from Texas that love talking shit on me. And I of it. And it's because the only people that talk like hard shit to me on Twitter and stuff are definitely just dudes from Texas that love talking shit on me. And I get it. I'm different than some of these guys. And so that's kind of why I like shitting on it. But to be honest, if I didn't want to live here, I probably wouldn't live here. I don't have to be in Texas. I feel like it would be hard to do this podcast if you weren't.
Starting point is 00:45:02 But I could leave you guys in the dust. It's not a big deal. We'll bring Klan. Yeah, exactly. I'm ready weren't, but I could leave you guys in the dust. It's not a big deal. We'll bring Clay in. Yeah, exactly. I'm ready to roll, man. Just have Brett replace me. Yeah. I'll have Tim's drive me down here every week.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Oh, that's funny. Hey, what do you like about Texas? I tell you, it's the wide open spaces. Yeah. You know? I like DQ. Yeah. Texas stop sign.
Starting point is 00:45:23 It is the Texas stop sign. Are you, okay, steak fingers, chicken fingers? I'm a steak finger basket boy. Wait, what? I've never even had steak fingers. Oh, God. Give it a break, dude. It's chicken fried steak, basically.
Starting point is 00:45:36 It is. But without the gravy. To be fair, that's not that common, right? I've never seen it on any fast food other than DQ. Don't look at me like I'm crazy. Dude, like Andrews, Texas. There's a place in Andrews, Texas called Buddy's, and it's known as like the chicken or the steak finger capital of Texas.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Like, it's fantastic. Really? I thought that was Dylan's apartment. Yeah. Because your last meal is steak fingers? Chicken fried steak. Chicken fried steak. That was your...
Starting point is 00:46:06 Sure. Yeah. Okay. Which we wronged him. It's not a terrible choice. It's just... It's a comfort food for me, man. It's like finding out that Dylan's a craft beer snob.
Starting point is 00:46:19 It's something we just didn't know about him. The only things that I would actually go to DQ for, now that I think about it, are lizards and hot dogs. That's all we'd get. Hot dogs? Our DQ had like a giant hot dog. Y'all had a DQ in Harbor?
Starting point is 00:46:32 Yeah, we had two. Not in Harbor. You had to drive about 15 minutes away. Okay. But we had two. We had a giant hot dog. You know there's a sandwich called The Dude? From DQ?
Starting point is 00:46:44 Yes. I feel like From DQ? Yes. I feel like our DQs were, like, modified. And it's a chicken fried steak sandwich. We didn't have a whole menu. That they put mayonnaise on. Oh, that's a man. Oh, yeah. I can tell you all about that.
Starting point is 00:46:55 I'm more of a belt buster guy. Yeah. It's the only combo meal that'll bust your belt. That's true, man. Based on what I've seen. I have the menu up right now. But not bust your wallet because fantastic pricing.
Starting point is 00:47:06 You wouldn't know because you only buy hot dogs and ice cream anyway. Dude, you can't leave DQ without getting a Blizzard. Oh, 100%. What's your Blizzard flavor of choice?
Starting point is 00:47:18 You know I'm going Heath Bar. You got to go. I like Heath. When they have their brownie batter one, it's just lit. But it's special edition. Brownie batter's good. You know they can't do that all the time.
Starting point is 00:47:27 So true story about me when I was a kid, I thought Heath bars were spelled, and I called them health bars, and I thought they were actually healthier for you, so I'd eat a lot of them. And I think this might have gone to my large size in my later days. True story. I thought they were health bars. I read it really quick. So you're just eating Heath bars in the morning for school? Yeah, I thought they were called, I thought they were health bars. I just, I read it really quick.
Starting point is 00:47:45 So you're just eating Heath bars like in the morning for school? Yeah, I thought it was like a, you know, like a pure protein bar. Hey, can we tell a story about why you had to transfer
Starting point is 00:47:52 high schools? Yeah, that's a good story. It was, it was, this is why you didn't, I feel like I've heard this, but I forget it. I didn't graduate with Clay.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Yeah, I didn't. I ended up going to, which is great. I love Midlothian. I call it home now. So everything happens for a reason. Like Drake's song, God's Hand. Is it God's Hand?
Starting point is 00:48:08 Is that what he said? It's God's Plan. Oh, God's Plan. I like God's Hand more. It's God's Hand, right? God's Plan. You tried to work that pop culture reference. Dude, I'm so horrible.
Starting point is 00:48:19 We never do pop culture stuff on here? I hope my wife picks it up, but I have to ask her questions because I don't get it. But yeah, seventh grade track practice no mentioning names but a young lady was walking by and we were throwing she has a big duncanville last name yeah her family is like well established there i was throwing the shot put and when i was throwing anyway it wasn't her like she it was when i was throwing the shot put i purposely threw the shot put and my pants were between my ankles so i was exposed and gave a full moon so i had to uh be sent to alternative school because i i mooned
Starting point is 00:49:03 a mooned young lady at track practice and instead of going alternative school because I mooned a young lady at track practice. And instead of going to alternative school, you just transferred. Yeah, I just transferred. I just peaced out. My parents were like, my parents were like, oh, you're, you know,
Starting point is 00:49:12 you're going to get, you're not going to get a good education there. It was like 30 days. I think it was longer than that. They said, I think they thought I was going to get mugged.
Starting point is 00:49:21 To be fair. I could handle myself. Yeah. I think I could handle myself there through the shot put i did the shot but you you intentionally rigged it so your pants would fall yeah yeah i've actually done that wasn't it like the entire girls basketball team uh that's how i have it in my head that you like the whole girls basketball team was getting on a bus to go to a game and you just you just dropped your pants yeah showed them your backside yeah that's what
Starting point is 00:49:44 happened it's uh and then you ended up in a new school district 20 miles south no i went i i bounced around so i went to decalb then went to a little private school and i started high school midlothian didn't you go to highland park for like a day i got i was i did i didn't last long yeah well a bunch of my good friends are from there now i didn't know you just walk up and everyone's like who do you know yeah no they didn know? I felt bad for you because I was like we're in like 8th grade or 7th grade. I was like, dude, how in the park? What? It's a hard time to transition.
Starting point is 00:50:12 We're south of I-30. They don't fucking like us. Now I think it would have been fine, but hey, whatever. But yeah, I did. So now I've always got to be the guy that mooned all these people in Dunkerville. That's my claim to fame there. I don't think I'll've always got to be the guy that mooned all these people in Duncanville. That's my claim to fame there.
Starting point is 00:50:26 I don't think I'll get into the Hall of Fame there for mooning. The Duncanville Sports Hall of Fame for the longest mooned shot put thrower. Did you actually throw the shot put? Yeah. Could you throw throw? Yeah. Yeah. I, like, threw the shot put, and as the ball left my hand,
Starting point is 00:50:42 so did my pants to my waistline. It's a really funny visual. I mean, I've seen you with your pants down before, and I've only hung out with you twice now. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Things happen. Yeah, why do you always get pantsed? I think that started with you.
Starting point is 00:50:57 Dave was, growing up with Dave, you're not safe. Like, it's not, you have a scarred past the ones of us that made it through he was a shithead he was a always a rough combination hanging around him you never knew what was going to happen

Starting point is 00:52:44 Cowboys charges. You know what you're thinking? You're a big Cowboy fan. You don't get to go to any games, but I hope. We'll see. Cowboys, Chargers. What are you thinking? You're a big Cowboy fan. You don't get to go to any games, but I mean. They got a squad, man. The talent on that lineup is about as stacked as it's been in a long time, I think. 10 wins. We got Zeke back.
Starting point is 00:52:58 11 wins. Fuck it, 11. The part of you get excited when you saw we re-signed Zeke. I was hoping I was going to get a sneaky shout-out, like he's back and you were going to throw a photo of me up there. I tweeted. I get you with a tweet. You did?
Starting point is 00:53:10 Yeah. I want to make a bet with somebody on Lions wins versus Cowboys wins. You're wanting, yeah. I need a game and a half, though. That still gives, with the Vegas odds for wins, that still gives you a game over what the Lions are projected. I'll take that bet. We just need to figure out the stakes. I want to do it, though.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Somebody say stakes. Let's do fillets. Should we get some stakes off for lunch? Do you even eat red meat now that you're in Texas? Shut up. You just go get tofu burgers at Whole Foods. Yeah, I just eat ahi tuna burgers. I eat sushi ridos all the time from Whole Foods.
Starting point is 00:53:46 What's that fake meat that's all the rage right now? Oh, jackfish. No, what's it called? Jackfruit? Jackfruit. Jackfruit is weird. I had some at Juiceland in a wrap. They used to call Dave jackfruit.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Okay. It's actually not that bad. A littleumpy though it's weird yeah have you ever handled it raw uh we talking about the jackfruit oh that no it's weird it's it's so meaty feeling it doesn't make sense fibrous when did you handle raw jackfruit my friend's uh wife bought some while we were camping and so we decided to uh we just decided to make her some jackfruit since she couldn't eat the the hot dogs that we were grilling up dude that is so hoity-toity you're over grilling some dogs some brats and here's your jackfruit babe it's weird like i was eating it later in the night and i was like this is not that bad you can kind of make it taste like anything
Starting point is 00:54:45 you want. Clay, you been eating a lot of jackfruit? Nope. I'll never willingly buy it. It's weird. And there's no point in it for me. Why the fuck would I need jackfruit? Why we're talking about it. I hope people hear it in that 15 second fast forward button because
Starting point is 00:55:01 this is hard jackfruit. I'm talking about jackfruit. Yeah. Dylan didn't have much on that one. I don't really know whole jackfruit talking about jackfruit yeah dylan didn't have much on that one i don't think dylan's ever i don't really know what jackfruit is i just know that it's a thing it's a fruit that tastes like meat that sounds this just sounds disgusting yeah it freaks me out i want my fruit to taste like fruit you know what's your favorite fruit uh the the red seedless grape Oh.

Starting point is 00:55:35 One fruit by itself. I mean, I like to make it a party. Mine's fruit by the foot. Shut up. Did you just, like you make the fake tongue with it and walk around the cafeteria? Dave was well known as that kid who walked around with a fruit.
Starting point is 00:55:52 His nickname was the fruit tongue. No, I was the dude who would walk around with a slap bracelet and just like when you weren't expecting it, slap you real hard with the slap bracelet. That's shitty, dude. Did you rug burn people's arms? Oh, man. I'm glad you called it by that name and not the uh improper name i'm pretty sure that yeah sir dylan say i'm native american man yeah he's good clay's clay's um what's your ethnicity

No, I was like, it was only like 2.7% Native American, I think it was. Not as much as I expected. I've always been told I've been Native American.
Starting point is 00:56:40 I think this all goes back to sailors and stuff and people being on the ocean. I think everybody was kind of mixing around. Nobody was 100% Irish. I think we've all of mixing around. Like, nobody's, like, 100% Irish. You know, I think we've all been doing this whole breeding thing for a long time, and we've kind of intermingled our ways. I like that you brought it back to sailors. Yeah, I love it. It's always bringing it back to the sailors.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Always bring it back to the open sea. Hey, one time we went on spring break in Destin. Like, this is in college. And Clay, we went to the beach. Clay brought the Jimmy Buffett salty piece of land book. And we're all out there just doing beach stuff. And Clay's trying to act like he was reading it seriously. I did that.
Starting point is 00:57:11 I did that when I was 19. It was such a bold move. It was such a vibe. Look it back. I have no choice but to respect it. But we flamed you for that. Yeah, I wasn't even reading. I was just trying to look like I was.
Starting point is 00:57:20 I did the exact same thing. I was 19. I was in Seaside. I brought that book. My buddy lent it to me. And I think when he lent it to me, he was like, oh, by the way, there might be some sand in there. I was like, shut the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:57:32 This is like, what are we doing? I hate your buddy already. It's like, why are we acting like we're doing this right now? It's a good book. Did you read the book? I read like half of the book. And then I was like, why am I reading this? Oh, it talks about fly fishing and being all up and down the Yucatan it's cool I it's one of my I've only read like three books so
Starting point is 00:57:50 are you a uh are you a parrot head how many Jimmy Buffett I think I went to my I think that's what got me into Jimmy Buffett man I don't I don't I don't really want to say but yeah I've been I've been far too many more Buffett concerts than somebody should my age. I mean, it's like a religious experience for me. Like, I've got hands up in the air. I'm singing Brown Eyed Girl. You're doing the shark?
Starting point is 00:58:14 I'm doing, oh yeah, I'm Finzen. I've listened to them, like my first CD I ever bought, I think it was Jimmy Buffett's Yellow Greatest Hits in like fourth grade. With the curse. And Red Riding. That's a classic album cover. I don't want you to like, I've been to a lot of concerts.
Starting point is 00:58:32 A lot of Pat Green shows. Well, I saw you just raging, putting a widespread panic on your story the other day while you were just cruising. I did, that's still one of, oh, Panic at Red Rocks. I know that's so generic,
