dave ruff we got some thundies out there.
No one's called a thundie.
Dude, stupid thundies out.
I woke up this morning like, damn.
He's referring to thunder, of course.
Oh, just as you said that,
I looked over Dylan's shoulder out the window
and a massive lightning strike
just happened behind Dylan.
Did you start counting
so we know how close it is?
I'm counting in my head.
That thing's way more than 10. It was pretty far away far away it's pretty far away yeah okay yeah we're good yeah that really happened nice nice little storm sometimes storm off dude as
dave told us earlier it's front season i didn't know that it's still again we lost front blow
through like stalled out got a lot of flooding if you're in DFW specifically Love Field
the best airport
on the planet
be careful
I'm going there tonight
are you really
yeah
I'm jealous
I'm staying at a hotel
really close to it
so hopefully
like I don't have to
deal with anything
yeah we just heard it
it's very far away
yeah it's at least
a thousand miles away
you know they talk
they talk about
April showers
you know
you know what they do though
yeah they bring May flowers yeah that's what I was getting thank you yeah that's how the I talk about April showers. You know. Do you know what they do, though? Yeah.
They bring May flowers.
Yeah, that's what I was getting.
Thank you.
Yeah, that's how the pilgrims got here.
Yes.
Does that apply in Texas?
Because I feel like the flowers are like, they've been out for a long time.
The flowers are popping right now.
Yeah.
Man.
Bluebonnet season?
Come on.
How come you and the homie didn't get a bluebonnet photo?
We've never done that.
I don't know.
Something about pulling off to the side of the road
sits a little...
It's a little bit... I don't know.
Sally wanted to do it with Rosie as a joke,
and I was like, this isn't actually a joke.
You actually want to do this, but you're
posing it as a joke. That's like the humor
thirst trap. Yeah.
It's like, ah, hey, we're having fun.
It's like, oh, you look hot.
Hey, why are blue bonnets pretty much only by the road
and not in the middle of a field somewhere?
I don't know.
I think blue bonnets are a little overrated.
No, they're not.
No, they're not.
Yeah, you can go fuck yourself.
Dave, why is that?
The blue bonnet thing.
I am no longer a botanist.
I gave that career up.
Oh, I thought you were.
I pivoted to media.
I've always wanted that.
I'm sure there's fields of blue bombs.
There are, but not like they are by the road,
man. They just line the highways in the whole country.
Do you think, since it is the state flower
of Texas, do you think there's some kind of
covert state government
Are you calling conspiracy here? I'm just saying.
Do you think
maybe they sprinkled the seeds
just there? Like to really, you know,
to make it a more scenic drive on I-20 or whatever.
Hmm.
No, I don't think so.
Because a lot of our highways here aren't great.
I don't think that's the case.
But it's interesting.
Look it up.
Look it up right now.
Blankets of blue flowers mark the beginning of spring in Texas.
Yeah.
Bluebonnets, the Texas flower, usually bloom from the end of March to early May.
Whether you...
Okay, I'm not going to read this part.
This is from the Caller Times.
Caller.com.
We'll have to review that.
The title of this column is called,
This is Why Blankets of Bluebonnets Thrive Along Texas Highway.
You said title weird.
You almost said it very English-y.
Title.
You said title. Title. almost said it very English-y. You said title.
Title.
The title.
So blue bonnets were named Texas' official state flower in 1901,
but the state flower isn't always blue.
Like, don't tell me about the fucking bird.
What's the state flower of Michigan?
Back to you saying the blue bonnets are
overrated, you try a little too hard
to be anti-Texas about a lot of things.
You need to chill. Thereets are overrated. You try a little too hard to be anti-Texas about a lot of things. And you need to chill.
Dude, they're just not... There's nothing overrated about a wild blue flower on the side of the road.
They're kind of weed-looking.
No, they're not.
Yeah, they are.
Not at all.
They're kind of weedy.
Not at all.
Maybe that's why they grow on the side of the road.
No, I actually already...
It's weedy.
I already Googled it.
He says they look like weeds.
They're not weeds.
It's a wildflower.
If too many wildflowers are trampled, they will die and not go to seed, the website states.
Since many of these flowers are annuals, this means they have to go seed to come back the next year.
Naturally, we discourage picking them.
So I'm assuming that they go on the side of the roads because most people aren't walking or doing anything on the side of highways.
You know, it's a close-
They're also not doing that in the middle of fields in the hill country, though.
Yeah, but don't they exist there not really not as much if you pick a blue bonnet
it's a class b misdemeanor yeah so i i dave you asked what the state flower of michigan is i don't
think that's true at all you asked me the state flower michigan is i don't know but there's a
similar flower in michigan called the trillium Is that a common flower down here? Oh, those are overrated.
No, they're not.
Yeah, they are.
But those grow in the forest.
And so sometimes you can just be...
If you're hiking or something, you can just stumble upon a giant forest.
But you can get in trouble.
If you pick them, you can get in big trouble.
It's like picking the bald eagle.
You can't pick the bald eagle.
No, you can't.
You're not allowed to.
No, sir.
That's flower talk.
I just don't think...
I don't know.
Bluebonnet's like...
It does make it prettier,
but like...
What?
They're still...
They just...
They just die.
Like, they're not like...
Yeah, because they're a flower.
Yeah, but they're like...
It's just like so brief. Flash in the pan, like... That's what makes them... They're cool for a second. Yeah, that they're a flower. Yeah, but it's just so brief.
Flash in the pan.
They're cool for a second.
Yeah, that's what's tight about them.
You're being a real jerk right now.
I didn't know you were such a defender of blue bonnets.
They're super dope.
I'm a hill country guy.
You know that.
You might call it the hill country, but Dylan calls it home.
You just said they don't grow in the hill country.
I did not say that.
That is where they grow.
I just asked. Are we already going to check the tape? hill country. I did not say that. That is where they grow. I just asked.
Are we already going to check the tape?
Hill country along the highways, dickbag.
Okay, I...
What, Dave?
I don't know.
What?
I won't stand for this.
I didn't expect to get into a fight about flowers.
I just won't stand for this.
I thought, if anything, it would be soup today.
Yeah.
The state flower of Michigan is an apple blossom,
which I don't even know anything about.
Don't get me started on soup, Dave apple blossom jeans boots with the fur all that shit
i'm tight with that i'll be honest i don't think i've ever seen like an apple like actually noticed
an apple blossom before so damn it's thundering out there i've i'm worried about our recording
equipment uh yeah me too i'm worried about it picking up crazy signals because you've got a lot of static electricity in the air.
And we've had a history of picking up trash country.
Yeah, so if any like, I don't know,
Brad Paisley's playing in the background right now,
it's the weather's fault.
It would be tight if it was Motown.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, Motown's chill.
You could shit on Motown since it's from Michigan
if you want to keep that train going. Definitely not going to shit on Motown. You know what, I Motown's chill. You can shit on Motown since it's from Michigan.
If you want to keep that train going.
Definitely not going to shit on Motown. You know what, I'm going to respect where you're from.
Okay? Unlike you.
Do you want me to say the things I love about Texas real quick?
No, I don't. Just say DQ.
Have you ever had DQ?
We're not going down the DQ road.
You know it's the Texas stop sign.
Yes, which is a marketing ploy that somehow Texas...
You know you can take a full blizzard and turn it upside down and it won't fall out.
It's the best part of going to DQ.
Hey, is it truck month?
I don't know what truck month is.
I think it's February.
Every month is truck month.
I want to say it's Feb.
Somebody check that.
That's why we need a producer to look up truck month.
Where's intern Bill Forbes at? He's in our group text. That's why we need a producer to look up Truck Month. Where's intern Bill Forbes at?
He's in our group text.
That little shit?
We gave him his first task and he crushed it.
He did.
He did.
He did a good job.
I think he's smart.
I think our intern is maybe smarter than we signed up for.
Let's hold off on crowning everybody who went to UT.
Oh, wow.
Yet, it's hard to get in.
It is.
I'm just saying. I know some people who went to UT. Oh, wow. Yet, it's hard to get in. It is. I'm just saying.
I know some people
who went to UT.
I know some real dumbasses
who went to UT.
Some real butt heads
who went to UT.
Some real shit heads, yeah.
Some real fart knockers.
What?
I don't know.
It's like one guy
I'm thinking of.
There's a lot of smart people
who went there.
Smarter than me.
I mean, look at me.
Well, I'm the smartest person I know. I didn't go there. Mr. Bobcat. I couldn't get in. Honestly, who went there smarter than me i mean look at me i'm well i'm the smartest person i know i didn't go there i didn't i couldn't get in honestly no one
smarter than i took down the longhorns last night by the way intern bill's the smartest person i
know no i am no i think intern bill is no it really is me though but we can move on i feel
like loki wants to fight today and i like it we have an intern i want to clarify because he's
going to get called many names this is an actual intern yeah his name is william so you might hear intern will you might
hear intern bill or i like calling him forbes because his last name is forbes i like calling
bill forbes i like just forbes do you think he got that because like when dave threw him in the
text he didn't have our numbers so like when you started just throwing out bill forbes at him do
you think he put two and two together i think think he figured it out. He probably figured it out. I like Dylan. And he
probably recognized that I have a 512 number, which is Austin, and you don't. Yeah. Dylan,
did you really? No, I have a Michigan number. I'm never switching that. Right. Did you really have
to ask if the number you didn't know on there was the intern? I wasn't really asking. I was just
like, it was just my way of introing him, saying, what up, Bill?
I said, Bill Forbes, I presume?
That's different than being like,
wait, who is this?
It's a classier way of saying it.
Do you know what I hate that people say?
What do you hate, man?
I hate it when people say,
if I was talking to you and you asked me to do something,
I was like, yeah, sure, good, sir.
I hate good, sir.
I don't hear that. People will like a like a polite thing to say
like as a but still joking and for some reason that phrase good sir it just pisses me off i feel
like it's like face that's that's terrible i've never heard that yeah i'm gonna slap a taste out
your mouth if you say that to me good sir unless. Unless I'm in ye old England.
Unless I'm talking to an actual
like knighted human being.
If Nick Faldo's in the room
if Nick Faldo's in the room
I'll say Sir Nick.
I don't think I've ever met anyone
that's been knighted.
He drove by me at the
Dell match play
in a cart.
Somebody was driving him.
Is he a unit?
He doesn't
he looks very
he looks older than you think he is like he looks very old
it's it was kind of sad honestly really yeah well i mean fucking jim dance is just making
him break down crying left and right so i still i'm not sure what what that was i did not need
that on the sunday morning the gym dance is's demeanor at the Masters needs to chill out a little bit
Jim Nance is perpetually in the crank corner
and it's just Masters
you know what somebody should do
this would be
this would be a coup somebody should get some blue bonnet
seats and when they go to Augusta National
just kind of sprinkle them around
don't do that
they will probably like torture you if they found out.
I didn't read the actual story, but look into the guy who got a pocket full of sand from Augusta National.
Yeah.
He was at the Masters.
Because I believe they ruined his life.
Yeah, they did.
Like, find him.
Like, 20 grand.
Like, it was a big deal.
Find him?
Yeah.
I mean, it was a criminal offense.
It was theft.
For stealing sand.
For stealing sand.
Wow.
Like, they took it all the way to...
Y'all got to chill.
Just ban the guy.
Yeah.
Don't ruin his life.
This week on our segment,
y'all got to chill.
We're talking to Augusta Nash.
Y'all got to chill.
Y'all got to chill. Oh, my God Augusta Nash. Y'all got to chill.
Oh, my God.
If we take a break, I'll look the story up and have some actual facts.
Yeah.
It's messed up.
Dude, come on.
Come on, guys.
Have you ever done that? Have you ever taken, you know, hypothetically taken something like that from a nice historical?
The only time I thought about it which i still didn't
see any benefit in it was when i went to in high school we went to the real madrid stadium
in obviously madrid and we got to walk we got to step right next to the field but they told us like
don't touch the field under any circumstances it's like kyle field being a 17 year old like i'm like
oh i want to fucking touch this field but it looks like it was the most perfect grass i've ever seen
we were there in the middle of summer after the season was over so i'm sure they were just like I'm like, oh, I want to fucking touch this field. But it looks like it was the most perfect grass I've ever seen.
We were there in the middle of summer after the season was over,
so I'm sure they were just grooming it.
It looked unbelievable. I think they do this quite a bit in other places,
but when the UT football stadium went from grass to turf,
they cut the grass and cut the top layer of it off to remove it,
and they sold pieces of it to people.
And then they try to like turn their yards into, you know, football field-esque.
I don't know if it worked.
If you actually bought that, you have a problem.
Yeah, that's a little much.
I always kind of wanted a seat from like Tiger Stadium.
They were selling those for like very reasonable prices.
And I wish I would have gotten one.
You missed man cave talk on the Patreon.
Shit.
But that would be tight to have in your man cave. on the Patreon. Shit. But that would be tight
to have in your man cave.
Yeah.
A couple of seats.
Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.
Hey,
I noticed you called it a field.
I call it a pitch.
True.
Very true.
Is that the same thing?
I don't know.
I'm not familiar with this field.
You just got schooled.
Wow.
I just got...
Aren't you the soccer guy?
I'm not a soccer guy.
I just got fucking Britished.
By the way,
it's pouring.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, if you hear it,
it's just absolutely pouring outside. You know what we sure didn't need it though we're getting
pissed on out there yeah we are it's really spitting out there what no one says that it's
really spitting out there dude so so as a this this is this is off the off the cuff i recently
started reading a book called how to break up with your phone per a friend's recommendation
he's like i'm trying to
spend a lot less time on my phone i was like yeah i definitely need to do that i'm scared of my
screen time versus like other people like i feel like if screen time was a public thing made and
everyone could see it that would be terrible it would be the worst but i just have a feeling that
i'm higher than a normal human being i i recognize that i have a problem being on my phone i'm pretty addicted to it i find myself subconsciously reaching for it if i've been
off of it for a few minutes but i don't want to change yet like i enjoy it no it brings me joy
the more i started reading this book the more i started realizing that like dude will
you could spend you could cut your phone time in half and be very just as plugged in yes um
the reason i think about it is because the one app that i found to be
dispensable that was wasting the most of my time i'm never getting rid of twitter i'm not never
getting rid of instagram was reddit uh oh yeah i don't spend much time on reddit see i do and
so now like i haven't checked the circling back reddit in like
48 hours.
It's the longest I've been.
I've been hitting it up for Game of Thrones.
Reddit?
You're a big theory guy.
Well, I just, I like to see what they're saying.
That's the biggest thing that I wanted to do when I was binging Breaking Bad.
I just wanted to check Reddit.
Reddit was tight during Breaking Bad.
Yeah, I imagine that there were some really good theories out there.
I just pulled up a radar.
This ain't going anywhere for a while.
We're getting swamped.
By the way, Twitter right now is so much fun during the final season of Game of Thrones.
I don't know.
It's just hitting so different right now.
And people like you who don't know what's going on, I legit feel bad for you.
I know.
So when you said that earlier, the first thing that I thought of was that is the one downside
of me. Like, yes, it's going to be awesome to
binge and not have any cliffhangers. The memes are
incredible. But the shitty part
for me is that I'm not going to get to experience the real
time entertainment of everything. Yeah.
I'll remember the best memes from this time.
Well, you could catch up for like
the last two episodes. No, I can't.
And watch those live. You could. I'm like leaving town.
I'm like, it's just not happening.
You could watch,
if you,
you could watch three a day.
I already know
too much about this season.
You could watch three a day
and finish it in three weeks.
Yeah, but I'm not
going to do that.
But you could.
I'm literally leaving town
tonight.
On a plane, though.
Yeah, but I'm not
going to go sit like...
You're right.
Then you've got to make up for the ones you miss when you get back. Vacation will do and watch TV. I'm just gonna go sit like you're right then you gotta make up
for the ones you miss
when you get back
Vacation Wilderness
watch TV
I'm just saying
if you wanted to do it
it's mathematically doable
yeah
well yeah
it's mathematically doable
I'm just saying bitch
what if you do
like people do on podcasts
and listen to it
on like 1.5
but you watch it
on like 1.5
that'd be weird
I'm thinking about
just downloading the scripts
and then just like
saying like
oh battle scene.
And then I just keep reading.
Do you remember a picture for the Rangers and the Angels, C.J. Wilson?
Yeah.
He's kind of a good-looking guy, but weird as fuck.
He collected swords and shit.
Terrible Twitter on that guy.
Terrible Twitter.
But he married some South American supermodel, so shouts to him.
Oh, I have.
Anyway, he was so into Lost, he would read the scripts on the planes. On, like, to and from. That's psychotic. I never got into Lost he would read the scripts on the planes.
On like to and from.
That's psychotic.
I never got into Lost.
I didn't either.
He was really into it though.
I will do an unsolicited recommendation.
Mind of Micah reviewed it yesterday.
Huge in France.
I've told you guys to watch it.
I've been thoroughly enjoying it.
It's one of the most entertaining
30 minute comedies I've watched in a really long time.
The mics are picking up this storm, right? Definitely.
Definitely picking up this storm. Sorry, y'all, if it's
hard to hear. Yeah. If it's like a sunny
day wherever you are, just know that we're chilling in the rain right now.
There's literally nothing we can do to stop it.
Just bear with us.
We could build a force field around the house, but I think
that would take too long. Yeah, let's not
do that. You know what we should do do talk about our friends over at harry's
i love harry's who doesn't love harry's people think i don't shave people think i don't need
to use a razor for anything you want to hear a true story this is an honest true story it is i
was in the locker room um at lifetime of course on monday today's wednesday on monday two days ago and
there were two guys at the sink talking about shaving and one of them was trying to sell the
other guy on harry's hell yeah he was like dude he had a he had a bald head like completely you
know big big head but with harry's he had a harried head harry's head yeah and he was like oh dude you
got to get one this is the best razor in the game i almost spoke up and be like, yeah, that's actually true.
Why didn't you give him our promo code?
Yeah, what are you doing?
Yeah, I don't know.
I bet that other guy at the gym trying to sell mine doesn't have a promo code.
He probably missed out on this awesome offer we have.
But yeah, true story.
Just this morning, I shaved my neckline with a Harry's razor.
Oh, wow.
Feeling real fresh right now.
You look really handsome.
Thank you.

Their replacement cartridges are just two bucks each,
which is half the price of, and yes, I am going to add them,
the Gillette Fusion Pro Shield.
Oh, shit.
If you're still using Gillette and you're going to like Walgreens
and asking them to like open up the case, like what are you doing?
You're just pissing money away.
Yeah, in time.
Yeah.
It's stupid.
Give me that promo code.
Luckily...

We played until it was dark out.
Sorry for that, Chad.
Yeah, whatever.
Chad's in Ireland.
Chad doesn't know what the fuck's going on.
Chad, we're not on his radar right now.
He'll hear this on the plane ride back from Ireland.
For the people who don't know what we're talking about,
our boy, hashtag Chad over at Callaway,
got on us one day about saying golfing as a verb instead of playing golf.
He's not a fan instead of playing golf. Yeah.
He's not a fan of us saying that.
Yeah.
The thing is, that's one thing I just don't care about.
Okay.
Yeah.
Back to you. I care about my friendship with Chad.
I do too.
I love Chad.
I just, I mentally am not going to change.
I don't know.
I don't want to overthink it.
I got you.
If I try to do anything in golf, it's underthink it.
I love that you played a full 19. You did the post uh work i'm doing work in quotes 19 or 18 we teed off at 440 and we didn't

Sorry, it's a movie you've never seen.
I just hit my funny bone on the table.
Yeah, good, bitch.
It's not funny.
I didn't mean that.
Yeah, dude, Dylan, chill.
I'm sorry.
Wait, whoa, whoa, what funny bone?
Can we talk about the game? The awesome game?
Not your stupid funny one.
Awesome game?
You're fucking...
It was a great game, though.
Yeah, it was a good game.
Some might say it was a crazy game.
Extreme OAR voice.
Crazy game of hockey?
Yeah.
So, yeah, they were up, the Golden Knights being they, were up three...
You should say we.
Yeah, they were up, the Golden Knights being they, were up three.
You should say we.
Nothing in the third period when there was a pretty brutal cross check, I believe.
Okay.
But it was a controversial call.
This is Cody Eakin.
So Cody Eakin is a guy like, he also plays with the full cage.
I'm assuming he has some sort of like broken jaw or something.
I would be full cage.
But he used to be on the Stars. Stars lost him when the Golden Knights came into the league.
You know, they had that little supplemental draft or whatever it's called.
They lost Cody Eakin.
He's a good player.
Off a faceoff, he does cross-check a dude.
I don't know the dude's name.
And the guy loses balance, and in trying to catch it,
he bumps into another guy who puts him on the ground,
and the guy hits his head.
It was not a five-minute his head it was not a fucking it was
not a five minute penalty it was not a major but that was that was so bad so i did i did a lot of
research on this this morning and i still could be wrong by the rule book because of the injury
is why it was the major but yes on the surface that is a bullshit call. I felt bad for him.
But you can't...
The fact that there was blood coming out of Pavelski's helmet is the deciding factor.
That shouldn't be a deciding factor, though.
Well, that's how it is.
That's not what I'm saying, Dylan.
So if a high stick draws blood like that, then you're going away for five minutes.
Yeah.
Yes, it's bullshit, but it's the rule.
Like, the rule states.
It was a major, what do you call it?
Major what?
Five-minute major.
Five-minute major.
So five-minute power play.
The power play, even if they score, it runs out the entire five minutes.
So the Sharks scored four goals during this five-minute power play.
They scored, like, six seconds into the power play.
Four goals.
They smelled blood. To take the power play. Four goals. They smelled blood.
To take the lead, four to three.
And Twitter, that was some of the most fun I've ever had on Twitter
because I don't follow a ton of people who are that into hockey,
but hockey, Twitter, the ones I do follow are going nuts.
It was basically me and McGannon doing GIFs or YIFs back and forth.
It's YIFs.
He was doing some WCW ones, which, goddammit, I respect that.
So then they pulled a goalie.
There was like a couple minutes left or whatever.
And they tied it up at the end.
4-4.
We're going OT, baby.
And during intermission, one of the analysts, I don't know the dude's name,
on NBC said that was the best period of hockey I've ever watched in my life.
What time was this last night?
It ended at like 12.30.
I'd been sleeping for two hours
at that point. Central time, yeah.
While this is happening,
we've got an elimination
game in the NBA.
We got the Trailblazers, and we got
the Thunder. Who were you cheering for?
Honestly, I was pulling for
the Thunder. I am on cheering for? Honestly, I was pulling for the Thunder.
I am on record as being a Russ guy.
Hard to defend him after this series.
He's kind of done some shit that I'm not a big fan of, mainly with the media.
That's my hot sports opinion of the week.
So that's going on.
Thunder built like a 15-point lead with like five minutes left.
And I sent out a tweet because, you know, the Shark stuff has already happened. And and i'm like oh god we're gonna we're gonna get the hold my beer tweet which the
hold my beer tweet is just it's gotta go it's canceled you know what i'm talking about yeah
it was gonna be like shark score you know x amount of goals in five minutes uh nba colon hold my beer
hold my beer god damn it well it happened so it. Well, it happened. So Trailblazers come back.
Damian Lillard had 50 points
and he had 47
and he had the last shot of the game
and he pulls up from like 35 feet
to win the game
over in Paul George's fucking grill.
Do you see Paul George's quote after the game?
I mean, he's not wrong
that it was a bad shot.
Yeah.
Normally you try to get to the rack there. there damian lillard's on my team and he pulls up with that shot and he misses it he bricks it
i'm furious i'm like dude what are you doing he was way out there but dude he's hit he hit a shot
like this over the rockets a few years ago when the rockets had dwight howard during that era
uh and it's one of the most electric videos
because there's some guy who has a cell phone video from courtside
and it's just raw.
This is just amazing.
He's already memed.
He got memed in a good way.
It's electric.
And this all happened...
Yeah, everybody's carrying him around
and he's looking at the camera.
He has this look like... He knew. He just did that. He knew he was trying to get memed. You think he did? I and he's looking at the camera. He has this look like.
He knew.
Just did that.
He knew he was trying to get mean.
You think he did?
I think he knew the meme was in order. If he had no expression on his face, he knew that he would become a meme because he was
just getting swarmed.
Are people meme aware in 2019?
You have to be.
Dude, the photo is so aware.
Wow.
I think he knew.
He knew.
It was like the meme where the guy's just staring into the camera and everyone's running
around him with their hands on their face.
Oh, the kid with the black rimmed glasses?
Like he had just done something like freestyle?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that's like this exact thing, but on a basketball court with a professional team.
It was tight.
Well, going to bed last night was not fun because even
though i have very little interest although i was rooting for the sharks because i think i don't i
did not want to play the golden knights as a stars fan like in the conference see it would have been
good for the pod to have each of your hometown teams playing each other you're right i thought
about that for content purposes that would have made sense but even though i was invested in both
of these games yeah and the adrenaline's going
and then afterward you want to see what what kind of fun twitter stuff happens so
you know one o'clock rolls around and you're laying in bed completely juiced up fully torqued
fully torqued just juiced up man just popping melatonin it was even though my my golden nights
took the l and then are going home, it was fun.
It was fun to watch.
Last night was one of the nights, like, sometimes I just don't know what to watch.
And I just want to ask the squad to, like, tell me what I need to be watching.
Did you watch, like, When Harry Met Sally or some shit?
No, no, no, no.
No, dude, I seriously went to bed early.
I watched a couple episodes of Huge in France just so I could, like, settle in and fall asleep.
But I was beat.
I want to watch a hockey game
with someone who knows the game really well
so I can ask them questions about strategy
and stuff. Some things I just don't
understand. Dave and I can
watch a game with you. Dump and chase?
I don't understand why they just throw the puck
down and then you just go scrum for it.
Dump and chase. Is that what it's called? Yeah.
What's the point of that? Why don't you
just set up a play and pass it back and forth
because it's really
fucking hard
you have to have like
extremely good skill
when they throw it down
at the end like that
half the time
they don't even come up
with the point
it's about possession
I don't know
it's
you throw it down there
you hope
you can get a good
on the forecheck
I don't quite understand
the substitutions
either
hockey's tight
I just don't get
some of the finer...
Hockey's a sport that takes a while to
watch it in order to understand
what you should be watching.
I really admire hockey. I want to
love hockey. Do you want
the highlight
on the puck? Honestly,
yes. Honestly, yes, I do. It's hard
to follow, man. It is hard to follow, man. Dude, it is hard to follow.
It's so much easier with HGTV.
I don't really know what icing is.
I don't know what offsides is.
My grandpa was...
Seriously?
Yeah, dude.
How do you watch it without knowing these things?
Just get a Google off real quick and just figure it out.
I just get so caught up in the...
I'm living in the moment here, man.
I used to be kind of like you with certain sports
where I was like, I don't really know what's going on here.
And then finally I realized,
Will, you can YouTube anything and learn like defensive schemes in
football in like three minutes let me let me put somebody on notice big will a day one backer a day
one toucher okay he's a he is an ice hockey referee yes so he knows all this shit. Hit us up.
Hit us up.
What medium do we want this?
Just like a bullet point stuff for Dylan.
Email.
Because I know this stuff
but I could not explain it
to Dylan.
Let him leave a voicemail.
He's electric.
Email me, player.
Because it wouldn't be good
for a Patreon.
It would be easy
for a Dylan, though.
I'm not saying
play it on Patreon.
I'll just forward you the email.
He's not exactly
a succinct
deliverer of a message.
True, true.
He's quite long-winded.
Well, damn, dude.
He is.
I love the kid.
He talks, though.
He's a talker.
He's like 6'8".
He's a talker.
Yeah, he's going to fuck you up.
I'll chop his ass down if I have to.
I'm just kidding, Big Will.
I love you.
All right.
When the rugby seven...
I know.
This is going to be very Will.
Sorry.
When the rugby...
What's it called?
God, I'm blanking.
Six Nations Cup was on...
Seven Nation Army.
Yes, the White Stripes song.
When that was on, I was like, Will, you've watched rugby before just because it's kind
of entertaining to have on.
But just Google the rules and watch a 10-minute video.
I did.
It made it so much more interesting.
I'm not going to start watching rugby by any means, it definitely knowing and grasping the rules just made it so
much better that's a wild sport yeah it's tight it is tight those guys scare the shit out of me
they're scary there's nothing there's nothing more defeating than waking up and seeing how
lit twitter was the night before and just being like yeah i'm too late to it yeah i missed the
action i just workshopped tweets in my head with the Damian Lillard photo of him getting mobbed.
I just was workshopping them all morning and I was like, it's too late.
Man, he's cold.
Yeah.
I'm trying to imagine a scenario where they make it out of the West, but it's just not
going to happen.
I think the only way that happens is if the Rockets beat the Warriors in the next round.
Yeah.
I mean,
that's not happening.
Well,
I don't think that's happening.
No.
Although,
his cousin's out.
He's out,
right?
Oh yeah.
Oh,
he done.
He gone.
Quad,
blew the quad.
Dude.
You hate to see that.
Dude.
Yeah.
That sounds awful.
Quad's a big muscle.
I,
I feel like it's got to
be one of the harder muscles to just like tear well did you did you see the photo of him walking
on it yeah you could see like the bulge oh really and people were like yeah that's a blow that's a
just to be clear of his quad they say that about will too oh his oh wow you're talking about
yeah you know yeah i'm sorry he's talking about penis but you're talking about... Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I think he's talking about penis.
But you're talking about his quad.
Yeah, not the tripod.
Okay.
Ew.
It's calming down out there.
Anyway.
Yeah.
It's still coming down, though.
It's still coming down.
God.
I'm coming down right now. Do we have anything else on last night's night of sports
um i don't think so where are we gonna watch these stars games i don't know dave i want to
watch one with you let's go let's talk hockey let's go i can yeah we got to sit down and watch
one with dylan yeah i want to talk hockey with you dudes i could talk to you all day about the
stars but outside of the stars and maybe a few rivals,
I don't know a ton of the players.
Yeah, I'm not that in tune with the current state of the league
just because the Red Wings are so bad.
I'd be wasting my time had I been watching them all season,
and that's been the past couple years, past three years.
So it's pointless.
You'd like them, though.
I'm not very in tune right now.
I'll ride with your stars, Dave.
Tyler Sagan.
I'll ride with him.
He's electric.
He's, like, honestly, like, one of the hottest.
I'm from Texas.
He's, like, the hottest dude in the NHL.
Chicks dig him.
Jamie Benn.
Remember we saw them at the –
Yeah, they were hot.
At the Byron Nelson a couple years ago.
Yeah, it was just a bro pack.
They were walking around.
They got sleeve tats and stuff,
just being hockey guys
with the slick backs.
Man, if Austin got a hockey team,
I would be so in.
So in.
I would be going
to these Texas Stars games,
but they're in Cedar Park,
which is a suburb of Austin,
but it's like 30 minutes away.
I can't do minor league sports.
I just can't do it.
Have you ever done
minor league hockey?
No. Have you ever done college hockey? I'm telling you. I don't think I ever want to. just can't do it. Have you ever done minor league hockey? No.
Have you ever done college hockey?
I'm telling you.
I don't think I ever want to.
Yes.
It is so fun.
Have you ever been to a live hockey game?
Yes.
Dude.
Okay.
In Denver.
I'm not saying first date, but second or third Texas Stars game.
I'm telling you.
It's a lot of fun.
You can get banged for your buck, and they do beer specials.
Can you walk for your buck?
Can you have sex there?
You don't have sex in the stands.
It doesn't matter the level of hockey.
Live hockey is electric.
Yes, it does.
It matters, the quality of hockey you're watching.
Of course.
As someone who grew up going to,
we had season tickets to the Lake Superior State Lakers.
Every single time we went, it was so fun.
I went...
The most recent game I went to, I think I was probably 27.
And I was like, man, it probably isn't going to hit the same as it did when I was a kid.
I just want to see the best...
No, it did.
I want to see the best in the world do it.
We have a...
I mean, the minor league baseball team has been at Round Rock for years.
Then why'd you go to an Avalanche game?
Come on.
Wow.
Klein, that was from Will, not from me.
I'll go.
Klein knows that I'll go at his neck for the avalanche.
I will, too.
That was fun.
Yeah.
Look, it's hard to follow the action in person, too, man.
They move so fast.
Shit.
Rotating in and out, moving fast.
The Stars end up playing the avalanche everybody from
colorado is claude lemieux i don't care who you are klein you can get it too oh shit i the thing
with the avalanche is like from like the mid 90s and stuff is that i i legitimately don't get how
you could actually think that like that was an upstanding team like i just i can't my brain can't
wrap itself around the idea that you could actually support
those assholes.
Wait, hold on.
I'm going to have to put you on blast because let's talk about the Pistons.
Let's talk about the bad boys.
Bad boys season.
See, I was like a little too young for the bad boys though.
Okay.
I didn't get to enjoy the bad boys live, but I get it.
You're a big John Sally guy.
But dude, they, yeah i i don't know
lemieux is a whole different level of asshole yeah the hockey troll is just it's the worst
it's it's the classic uh love him when he's on your team yes we we talked about this recently
like in dominican stew when he was on the lions it was like yeah but even he started to wear thin
but claude lemieux like he was just an asshole.
Yeah.
And seeing him get the shit beaten out of him was just the best.
Who whipped his ass?
Darren McCarty.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think I've ever had a more exciting moment of, like, sports watching
is when it was a regular season game, and they dropped gloves from the jump,
and it was on ESPN.
It was hyped up, and it was just the best.
You know who my favorite hockey player of all time is?
Who?
And he actually did a stint with the Reddies.
That's what I call the Red Wings.
Darian Hatch.
The captain.
The captain on the captain.
Why does every single Dallas star just retire to Detroit?
I don't know.
It seems like they should be doing it the opposite way.
Like you don't want to go to Detroit to end your career.
I mean,
Madonna was ring,
Madonna was ring chasing.
Yeah.
Um,
I think everyone,
I think all those guys were at that point when they were going,
I mean,
he'd already gotten one,
but you know,
he's my not fucking,
let's do it.
Um,
man,
we just did hockey talk.
Dude,
we don't,
it's fine.
Yeah.
I feel like,
I feel like I apologize to any of our hardcore fans who are hockey fans.
Because we probably didn't do the best job.
No, I don't think we did that poorly.
Okay.
I think we did about as good a job as Dave and I do for Game of Thrones talk.
Okay.
Which is like casual observers of what we're talking about.
What's the Barstool hockey one?
Spitting Chicklets?
Spitting Chicklets.
Yeah, we're not doing what's the what's the barstool uh hockey one spitting chiclets like yeah we're
not we're not doing every episode on it but i don't listen to spitting chiclets but that podcast
is held very high in a lot of people's minds which has made me think you know what maybe i need to
start listening are those guys out of chicago i don't know no i think they're i think they're
new york are they yeah i've a lot of people rep them very hard, and I'm very intrigued.
They popped up on my timeline a couple times.
I'm going to hit them with a follow just because I'm back in on hockey.
Like, last NBA playoffs, I was like, hey, Micah, hit me up with some good follows for
NBA playoffs.
He gave me some okay follows.
Oh, you got to hit up me or Ross.
Yeah, I think I ended up hitting up Ross and Ross.
No, I think both Micah and Ross didn't do a great job of giving him to me,
so I just had to go off on my own.
The best account that Micah gave me was at LeagueFits on Instagram.
Yeah.
Which I actually unfollowed.
He did show me LeagueFits as well.
I unfollowed recently.
Do we need to move on?
Yeah, probably.
Are we done with sports? I think so i'm excited to uh have a run at the
stanley cup with y'all yeah this is fun i recently my parents so every time i go home they unload
some shit from my childhood closet on me and it's just like boxes and boxes of stuff right
well one of the boxes that i had yet to open was nothing but jerseys. And that includes my, my first soccer jersey. It is like for a four-year-old, it's the old
Spartans jersey. It's bad-ass. It's really tiny. So that's not the one that you sent me a photo
of you wearing? No, I sent you my Arsenal jersey. And you told me, what did you tell me? You said
it doesn't look terrible. Dude, it like, I mean, you're never going to wear it in public, but like
you should. If we go do like a day drink one day, are you going to wear it in public, but you should one day. If we go do a soccer game. You should day drink one day.
Are you going to wear it to Austin FC games with me?
Yeah, I will.
But anyway.
I can't wait to get Dylan to an Austin FC game.
I'm going to have to show you the pic.
I can't tweet it because I just look like shit because I was hungover and tired.
I guess I could.
Will, you have to drag me kicking and screaming to that game.
No, you'll go to a game.
You'll go to a game.
Where is the stadium going to be again?
Go main area?
I think a little. No, I'm definitely not going. Why didn't they put it in San Marcos. You'll go to a game. Where is the stadium going to be again? The main area? I think a little.
No, I'm definitely not going.
Why didn't they put it in San Marcos?
You cannot get me up there.
They should have put it in San Marcos.
I'm going to get you up there.
No, you won't play.
Yeah, I will.
All right, we'll see.
I wish y'all would listen to me.
You know what?
Put it in San Marcos.
They're not going to put it in San Marcos.
I know, but it would be tight.
Are you saying that's how you're going to get me to go
because I spend so much time in San Marcos?
No, but now that you made the decision.
Dude, I'm glad it's not in San Marcos
because I've said I have no reason to ever go to that city again.
I've only been there once and I left shattered.
Yeah, it'll do it to you.
I'm going to a game in the fall.
I'm supporting the new coaching staff.
Shout out, Spav.
But my point with that was I found some old hockey jerseys,
including my own.
But I also found the time I bought a Florida Panthers jersey.
Yeah, why'd you do that?
I was a John Van Biesbrook guy back in the 90s. Sorry, dude, I had a mini stick
from the Panthers as well. I had a lot.
I think a lot of it was I liked their logo, and their
logo is a big cat. Yeah.
It's a panther, and it's badass. Have you ever seen
the Florida Panthers logo?
Of course. No, I haven't.
It's weird to me how little
you know about hockey. Dude, I get it, though. Dude, I'm from Texas. No, I haven't. It's weird to me how little you know about hockey.
Dude, I get it, though.
Dude, I'm from Texas.
No, I understand, but I never knew this about you.
Do you know how many people I knew growing up I knew playing hockey?
Zero.
Literally zero.
No one played hockey.
Yeah.
You know Dallas is a hockey town.
It's not the hockey town.
I'm showing Dylan a picture of this jersey.
That's a dope jersey.
Yeah, that's tight.
Dave, why wouldn't you send me a photo last night of your prom outfit?
I don't think I have one.
No, I have a photo, but I have not taken a picture of the photo or scanned it.
Okay.
The Real Cat Pat tweeted something about how dudes that wore white tuxes to prom
are just now getting off off probation and it went
like it went micro it's fair and it just got me thinking about like what my buddies wore to prom
and stuff and i have one buddy who wore an all-white tuxedo pink tie in a white yankees cap
tilted to the side oh my god whoa whoa whoa whoa to Oh, my God. And so I sent it in a group text last night to everybody,
and it had just been a long time since I had revisited those photos.
And then I saw what I wore, and I also dress trash for prom too.
And so – put that photo away.
So I looked up mine, and I remembered, like, yeah,
I wore a seersucker suit with this, like, bright-colored tie from J from j crew so like i didn't i didn't do myself any favors there either so i wore a
a coat that i got at like a thrift shop or like and it's not great but it was in good condition
it's white with black lapels and i was going for like a dean Martin, Frank Sinatra vibe, like Rat Pack. It actually doesn't look terrible.
In retrospect, I wish my sister and mom had told me to just fuck right off and to not wear that.
But I did it.
And it could have been worse.
Yeah.
I had a great time.
The reason I asked you was because I was going to propose that I would release my photo if you released your photo.
Let me find the photo.
We can release the photos.
Okay.
Because I don't want to release mine
without somebody else doing it.
Like someone else needs to go
in this with me.
I can't remember what I wore.
It was a long time ago.
No, don't.
I have pictures in my Facebook
buried deep.
Leisure suit?
No, it was a tux.
Did you even go to prom?
Of course I went to prom.
I feel like you were the...
I feel like you might have been so cool in high school
that you went to prom as a freshman with a junior.
I went to prom as a junior with a senior.
So I went to prom twice.
Oh, you could only go as a senior?
Yeah, at our school.
Oh, you had to be a junior or senior for us.
Maybe it was a junior or senior prom,
but it was understood that only seniors went
because no juniors went.
But I had a friend who was a year older than me
and she invited me.
You had way more girls who were just friends than I did.
I grew up with this girl.
We used to take baths together.
I think I have a lot of girlfriends.
Is this the one you sent me a photo of recently?
Stop.
I don't do that.
My senior prom, actually, it's funny because I was in a really big fight with my girlfriend during that day.
So the pictures, we were posing together, smiling, knowing that she was hating me at the time.
So it's kind of a funny memory looking back on.
I never took a love interest to prom, I feel like.
It was always like, yeah, let's just go.
What's love got to do with it?
Exactly.
What?
I didn't love school dances back in the day, but...
Ours were pretty tame.
We weren't grinding like in Duncanville.
We were grinding.
Well, find your photo.
I want to release these.
I will. Should we do it a patreon i'll try to find
mine too not to yeah i'll try to find mine i feel like you're gonna have like the most like
straight laced outfit of all time yeah yeah like i think i just wore a black top you know what i
don't really remember mine are probably worthy of patreon because mine i've probably got some photos
in that thing that are just just. Yeah. I'll release.
I think this is a Patreon thing.
I do not.
Okay, hold on.
Well, let's...
I don't want to sell my friends out.
If I'm going to sell my friends out who also look like dorks in this photo, I need to get paid for it.
That's what I'm saying.
You can touch it up, though.
Cover their faces and stuff.
Yeah.
You don't have to cover up the faces.
They're not special ops or something.
It's just an old prom photo.
Yeah.
No one's going to know who they are anyway true i just feel bad we don't look cool so yesterday uh we recorded our patreon episode we had to do it early because vacation will's
about to be in full effect and before we recorded dylan's told me something that kind of surprised
me yeah dylan's been getting hella meditations off lately. Don't say hella meditations. I've
been experimenting with meditation. I'm two sessions in, so that's not hella. Hey,
dude, you've meditated twice. I meditated twice. Yeah, I did it last night and the night before.
Look, I've been outspoken about the fact that I get anxiety and it keeps me awake.
I have a hard time sleeping. My brain just goes into overdrive
at like 10 o'clock every night
and it wakes me up a lot of the time.
What, Dave?
I was seeing if Will was going to make a Green Day joke.
Let's not.
Sorry.
It keeps me up
and then it wakes me up in the middle of the night
and then in the morning I get up early
and I can't go back to sleep
because my mind just does too much.
So I've been experimenting with meditation uh i use the headspace app which i understand
is pretty popular very popular okay i would say it's the premier meditation sponsor yeah
no this is not spawn this is not i wish it was fun not sponsored if they want to spawn they can
because yeah because i'm i'm here because you have to pay for it eventually i'm giving them
a free endorsement already you're listening at home Don't try it yet. Wait till they're on the hook for for some ads. Yeah. Wait till we make money off of it
Yeah, yeah, don't sign up do the free trial for now and then we'll get you a code later
But man, I just felt so relaxed
After doing it. It was I it was incredible. Yeah, so relaxed
I okay, so two nights ago, I slept one of the best sleeps I've had in a long time.
I also had vivid dreams the past two nights.
I never remember my dreams.
Like stupid lucid?
Do you think those are connected somehow?
Yeah.
Never remember my dreams, but stupid lucid.
I don't know if they're...
I mean, I'm going to go on a limb and say, yeah, I think they might be connected.
Last night, I didn't sleep as well.
I think it's because I stayed up late watching hockey.
You were horned up.
I was horned up for hockey.
Let me ask you this about the dreams are you are you taking any melatonin are you
smoking any of that good no i i took that can affect your day i didn't make you not have dreams
yeah i did absolutely nothing the past two nights not a sip of alcohol if you smoke that good
regularly and then you stop doing it you have crazy dreams yeah i actually yes not me but a pod i listened to uh that'd be
weird it was tight i've always had pretty lucid dreams uh bill texted me yesterday our friend not
not our intern but our friend ross see we gotta start calling him forbes if we're gonna get too
many if we're gonna start calling ross bill or keep calling him that we gotta figure this out
and he was just checking out on me i was like hey what's going's going on? How you doing? And I asked him the same.
He's like, yeah, I'm dealing.
I got my anxieties getting bad again.
He's outspoken about that.
I'm not revealing anything here.
And I was like, dude, have you ever tried meditation?
He was like, no, never done it.
You're just riding with it from day one.
It's interesting to me that he has never tried meditation.
You need to get in the float tank.
You'd think he'd be experimenting with all kinds of shit.
Have you done the float tank?
No.
Do you want to?
You should do it.
I'll go do it.
I've never done it.
I'll do it.
There's one right next to my place.
How long are you in there for?
An hour.
That's a long time.
Apparently it's weird
the first time
and apparently
the second time
is really, really enjoyable
because you know what to do.
Right, right.
Apparently the first time
can be a little...
Can I do a shorter session?
No.
So how long are you meditating for?
The first one I did three minutes
The second one five minutes
It's quick
They have a ten minute one you can select
I might step it up and do a ten
Damn
I only did ten minutes
Yeah, I might do a ten
I figured if I do it
I'm going to really try to do this
I always used to think meditation was kind of weird
But it's not at all
It's not
You're just shutting your brain off
I started doing it this past I guess it was maybe the end of last summer I always used to think meditation was kind of weird, but it's not at all. It's not. You're just shutting your brain off.
I started doing it this past, or I guess it was maybe the end of last summer.
I decided to download the Headspace app and start doing it.
I got it in a regular rotation.
Really enjoyed it.
And I got to the point where I could do it on my own without the app if I really wanted to.
The issue is setting aside the time to do it.
I'll wanted to. The issue is setting aside the time to do it. I'll be honest.
It's part of the reason that I deleted Reddit
and I'm trying to figure out how to be off my phone more
because I don't feel like I'm spending my free time
doing things that I want to be doing.
And meditation is something that,
if I did that every day,
I feel like I'd be very happy, just 10 minutes.
But instead, I'm way more comfortable
just picking up my phone and checking shit.
Yeah, I'm going to try to make a point to do it every day because it's so quick you know what you would benefit from I think
um some long form cardio because a lot of people get meditation through that because like yeah your
mind shuts off unless you're like watching a movie or something but I've been doing how long is how
long do you I mean consider that to be honestly because I, because I don't run long distance or do any of that because it's just not me.
But you go for a run like 30 minutes or something.
Yeah.
Like even if it's just on a treadmill.
I've been doing a Sunday cardio session at the gym.
It's really good for your anxiety.
I do stairs.
Yeah.
I mean, something where you're going and you can just turn off and not think about it.
Actually, I used to run a lot and that it helped mental
mental health anyway meditation who knew well a lot of people your brain wander while you're doing
it still um i i find it wandering and i have to i have to wrangle it back in but the guy is like
he says it's okay he says if your brain wanders like that's okay it's normal you'll practice and
get better at this i was like oh cool thanks man but then when he says that it brings me back down the guy in the app the guy
in the app yeah he just has a really calming voice he just talks you through it it's really cool
he's british isn't it john all he's british it's john all of you god you just made his voice sound
so much more annoying than it actually is british do you think do you think it's weird that the like
the reason you're meditating is to like tune out but you're also plugged into your phone doing it?
That was like a mental hurdle that it took me a little bit to get over.
I mean, I just throw my headphones on and set the phone to the side.
I don't really think about it.
Just a guy talking to you.
Oh, dude.
I'm going to pick your brain right now.
What?
I was going to say mixing a yoga class.
Yeah.
Oh, I'll fuck with yoga.
I've been wanting to get into it.
How do you sit when you do it?
There's a light on my bed, actually.
Crisscross applesauce?
I had a light on my bed.
I didn't do the whole weird...
The thing that was weirdest for me,
and I almost wrote a column about this
when I first started doing it,
was that I never knew what Rosie was doing.
So I'd be sitting there with my eyes closed
and headphones on trying to tune out,
but then I'd open one eye and be like, is Rosie doing anything weird over there and then she'd just be like laying in
the bed just licking her butt and then i'd like i'd start doing it for like three more minutes
and get back in tune and then i'd like open my eye again to see if she was still in her bed and
she'd be gone and i'd be like where is she right now and she'd be like on the couch but that always
freaked me out and finally i was like all right she if I'm right here, she's not going to do anything bad in 10 minutes.
Yeah, I can understand that.
You just shut down.
You just turn everything off.
Mentally, you know?
You don't pay attention to shit.
Sometimes it makes me fall asleep.
That's great.
Not if you do it at like 4 in the afternoon.
Yeah, true.
I do it so I can sleep better.
Get my anxiety down.
I did some weird shit last night too.
What?
So our friends at Early Bird CBD,
they did not sponsor this.
This is added value.
But they hit me up with a sample.
You can get it on their site.
It's a tincture CBD.
It's called New Leaf, N-U-L-E-A-F.
I was like, dude, I want to try this.
So we did steaks for dinner, cook dinner.
Did you marinate your steak in CBD oil? No, I wonder, I'm sure someone's done that. I'm sure
people like cook with it. Um, Rogan's like injecting. I made a pot of coffee at like 6
PM and I drank the coffee with a dropper full of CBD in it. Cause I've never done that. You
were a full dropper. Oh yeah. Okay. Mixed it up and drank the coffee.
And I did some work and then I was like working on, I was just, I was in the zone.
I felt pretty good.
And Liv says she does that too with her coffee.
I'm not ready to do it, ready to do it in the morning yet with the CBD.
You worried that you're going to get too, too relaxed?
Yeah.
I don't want to come in here and be anything less than a hundred percent.
See for me, it's like i told you so i took um i took a full dropper of it of the same stuff you took and i put it directly under my tongue so it just went straight to the bloodstream
took that shit to the dome yeah i did it i they gave or phil stop one of the guys that works for
them justin he gave he gave me one and i was like he's like yeah try this so i did it um it was the it was the most i've ever felt the cd before
and i was chilling so hard and as i told you it was almost like the feeling because i'm prescribed
xanax and i'll take it if i'm starting to like panic about stuff or like whatever if i'm super
anxious it's it was like taking xanax without getting tired
and without feeling like i need to like shut my eyes or at all yeah which is that's a very big
compliment to what it what it felt like yeah i prefer the tincture over the gummy yes personally
me too but i feel like you know what you're getting more yeah well we're just a we're a
mental health pod now yeah that's what we do That's that live effect on us, man.
We do need to go to the float tank, though.
Did you see I did a meme last night?
You got a meme off?
I got a meme off.
It's a tincture meme.
It's the fill.
Oh, you know what?
I did see that, yeah.
I love making memes now.
Well, and if you're trying to find a tincture meme guy, Dave's your guy.
Yeah.
Have you done the flow tank?
No, but I've heard Joe Rogan talk about it enough
that I pretty much have.
I thought you did it for some reason.
Let's go do it sometime.
I'm totally down.
There's a place right between here and...
Right by your crib, actually.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They also do CBD massages
if you want to get one of those off, too.
What?
Really?
That's what it says.
CBD massage.
Man, CBD is crazy right now.
It is the most popular thing ever. No one's doing that.
Massages?
Yeah.
With CBD oil.
That's expensive.
Yeah, I feel like that would cost a lot of money.
Wild.
I want Dave to be marinating his steak in it.
I'm going to do an olive oil massage.
No.
I'll massage you.
What?
I feel like that would be like on Pornhub or something.
Oh, man.
I'm sure. Look it up.
If you do, please just make sure that you wash off
with Fulton & Rourke's 2-in-1 body wash.
Alright. Please, David.
I have bad news, guys.
What?
I need to re-up.
Really?
Yeah.
They hooked us up recently.
Maybe I've got some in a cabinet somewhere.
Because my two-in-one body wash is getting lower and lower every single day.
Oh, dude, I gave you a new big one recently, remember?
Yeah.
You better not lose that. Dude, I might just be getting too loco with it.
I might just be using too much.
There's no way you're going to use that much.
I'm an over-shampooer. Dude, I love just be getting too loco with it. I might just be using too much. There's no way you're going to use that much. I'm an over-shampooer.
Dude, I love it.
I love having a good lather going,
and so I use a lot of it all at once.
You're a lather boy.
I can't speak highly enough about this 2-in-1 body wash.
That's my favorite one.
It's the best.
It's just chilling in my shower.
I mean, it's great.
I also have been using the face cream lately.
Have you?
Good. So have I. I also have been using the face cream lately. Have you? Good.

Should we do this weekend of fun?
Yeah, we should. We have a
yeah segment on here,
but I don't think we have anything going right now.
We can't force that. Yeah.
So, like, unless it comes up organically,
I think we just start going this weekend of fun.
That's fair. Presented by Eisenhower's on
Rainy Street in Austin, Texas. As always.
If you're in town,
and you're letting it rip rip or if you're just looking
for a casual beer
go stop by Eisenhower's
it's a chill sitch
tell them Dave's sitch
yeah tell them Dave's
actually don't tell the bartenders
that you want an L Dave
don't tell them
because like
they just want
they would rather make you
a tequila soda
they're tired of making L Dave
yeah so
go with the sangria though
but just
buddy
be careful
and understand that it's you're taking on a little bit.
It's kind of heavy in that big old mason jar.
When you get a sangria, which you should, just let it register for like 10 minutes before you go get another one.
Or maybe just think about switching to beers or something.
Because one's perfect.
Two will get you on the train two means you are probably making
a a day out of it yeah maybe a night that's not necessarily a bad thing no dylan's turn us off
uh thank you will i would love to um i don't have a whole lot going on actually um what am i what
am i even doing i don't really know. Friday, nothing.
Oh, I'm going to the ranch.
That's right.
Saturday.
So Friday I'm doing nothing.
No plans.
Who knows where the night will take me Friday.
And then Saturday, yeah, we're going to see the cat.
We're going to the ranch.
Me and the homie are going.
A little family get together.
Hey, get a photo of y'all's emu.
Okay.
I think I probably have one in my phone.
Yeah, I don't want to see some old shit.
I want to see some real-time footage.
Okay, can you ride your emu?
I don't advise that.
I've never tried, and I don't plan to.
I think he or she, I don't know.
It's kind of old.
You don't know?
Does it have a name?
Big Bird.
It's a unisex name.
Unisex? Is that the right term gender neutral was big bird
sesame street i know thank you was big bird male or female or was it gender neutral
hard to say didn't he didn't he or she talk had a voice it was male yeah i feel like this might
just be toxic masculinity speaking but i always assumed it was a guy. I did too.
I'm kind of hoping it was a...
It says gender male.
Yeah, I don't know what ours is.
It says species, canary slash muppet.
You should go goose it.
To check for a little ding-a-ling down there?
Yeah.
Hey, get over here.
Hey, come here.
Don't pop me. Okay, now a site is saying that big bird
one of the most beloved characters on sesame street has recently revealed in a fake interview
that he is transgender is not actually male but female okay well keyword there is fake i know
but this is i'm just saying like is this a viral video We're about to find out
We shouldn't
Hard to say
Either way, as long as Big Bird's happy
I think by fake interview
It was like a staged interview
It wasn't like fake fake
We have a brand new horse out there too
You gonna ride it?
She's like five days old.
I gotta go meet her.
They named her Casey Musgraves.
True story.
Okay.
There's some wild names out there, man.
If you do a tweet...
They named the horse Casey Musgraves.
My stepdad named her too.
I don't...
Don't you see Meet Me in the Middle?
Yes.
Oh, come on.
Now you're conflating multiple people.
But they just call her casey
for you should do a photo and tell everybody and tag casey maybe she'll respond she but she might
clap back she's not she's got the twitter fingers ready what is there to clap back about hey we name
this horse after you i don't know like oh that horse is ugly what's she gonna say no she better
not does that horse walk around all bow-legged still she's a fine woman how long before they
can really like bow-legged you know horses when they fine woman. How long before they can really, like...
Bow-legged?
You know how horses, when they're right out of the womb?
I don't think they're bow-legged.
Whatever they are.
She was walking, like, a minute after she was born.
That's wild to me.
Yeah.
Did the homie do that?
Dude, it takes humans, like, a full year,
a year and then some, to learn how to walk.
Why are we so slow as shit? How do... It takes, like, a year year and then some to learn how to walk why are we so slow as shit
how do
it takes like a year
humans
yeah
it took the homie 14 months
that's another thing dude
it's about average
I don't like
I don't know milestones
in kids lives
like I don't know how long
it takes to fucking walk
or talk
if someone asked me
how long it takes a baby to talk
I'd be like
I don't know
three years
much sooner than that
okay
but yeah it took the homie
14 months
damn now he's sprinting all over the place skateboarding rollerblading much sooner than that okay but yeah it took the homie 14 months damn
now he's sprinting
all over the place
skateboarding
rollerblading
shit he skates
not really
he's got a big wheel though
fuck tears it up
no he skates
I took him to skate park
a couple days ago
he's
did you teach him
how to drop in
no he's
well he's doing
the sit down drop in
where he sits on the coping
and then
he won't drop in
from the top
please be careful he's got his helmet on there drop-in where he sits on the coping. Dave won't drop in from the top. Please be careful.
He's got his helmet on.
There was nothing scarier than the first drop-in.
Oh, hell yeah, dude.
I'm still mad at whoever online said that I watched mid-'90s
and all of a sudden became like I said that I skated in high school.
That really chapped my ass.
I think in the skate community, being called a poser is like the worst thing you can get called.
Yeah, dude. So to come at me like that is a poser is like the worst thing you can get called. Yeah, dude.
And so to come at me like that is just.
Well, now it's going to get worse.
No, I mean, it's just not true.
I'll have to dig up my photos of my skate days along with my prom photo that I found.
I'll find some goodies.
Yeah.
Dave, what are you doing this weekend?
We got Stars Blues popping off Thursday.
So I assume game two will be Saturday.
Um,
other than that,
it'll be sports heavy.
We are going to,
I think we're going to do a dinner that Joanne's place.
We keep referencing the place that you were at when you saw the dude on the motorcycle.
I guess people listening today won't hear that story.
Oh yeah.
Friday.
Subscribe on Patreon to hear all this.
I saw a dude fly off a motorcycle.
Spoiler.
Not great.
Not great, but if you want to hear the rest of that story,
you'll have to pay the premium content fee.
$5 footlong.
It's definitely worth it, though.
I don't really have a lot of plans.
Aren't you going to a concert?
Sunday night.
So Sunday night, I'm going to churches.
We know what they say.
Never miss a Sunday show. Oh, churches. We know what they say. Never miss a Sunday show.
Oh, okay.
That's what they say.
Well, I'll be missing
Game of Thrones.
And possibly like
the most epic episode ever.
Yeah, you kind of are.
I'm going to come home
and watch it though.
Yeah, you have to
put your phone away.
I'm going airplane mode
on my phone.
So if you're trying
to reach me from like
8 o'clock through midnight
I won't be available.
Hit my assistant up.
Forbes. I'm going to do something golf related. I don't be available. Hit my assistant up. Forbes.
I'm going to do something golf-related.
I don't have a tee time or anything, but I'm going to get out to the course.
I might go wild.
If the weather's nice and there's nobody to play with,
I might go out there and just say, hey, can you pair me up with somebody?
Wow.
Man.
I have a bachelor party next weekend in Nashville, and I'm playing golf.
I need to hit my new sticks before I get out there.
I need to get you my stars.
I hit them yesterday.
Okay. I couldn't hit anything yesterday sticks before I get out there. I need to get you my stars. I hit them yesterday. Okay.
I couldn't hit anything yesterday on the front nine.
Back nine, I turned it on.
Oh, shit.
These new sticks are something else.
I can't wait to swing them.
What's my problem?
My issue was off the tee, I was wild in the beginning.
But my iron game was strong as hell yesterday,
and I attribute it to the new irons.
I wish it was nice today.
I'd go swing them today, man.
Yeah, something tells me that some shots would be chunky today.
The next few days are going to be awesome.
Yeah, I know.
Car path only, but whatever.
Ugh, nothing worse.
Nothing worse than car path only.
There are things worse.
No, I'm thinking right now.
Thinking, thinking, thinking.
Yeah, nothing worse.
Let me throw one out there.
The Holocaust.
Yeah.
Bad?
Worse. Bad. Yeah. Bad? Worse.
Bad.
Yeah.
But not as bad.
No.
That's 9-11.
I think there's definitely the case that it's worse than Carpath only, but Carpath only is bad.
Right.
Yeah.
Understood.
Yeah.
You're walking and you're getting mud splattering up on your khakis.
Dude, it sucks.
Not as bad as paying full price
and seeing that every green has been punched and sanded
and they didn't tell you, but yeah.
Was that on Monday you said that or yesterday?
Nothing was worse than that. Literally nothing in this world.
It's just like, oh man, cool, dude. So even if I'm
hitting the ball like I've never hit it before,
the score means nothing. I'll say this,
the shitty greens at Lions yesterday cost me
some money. Are the greens not
in good shape there? No, it was just a couple greens like one of the one of the holes was cut very poorly and a putt
that should have dropped just absolutely did not drop and it cost me some money this wasn't me
putting either i this is another person that was on my team putting and i got screwed on two holes
that if the green just was normal you hate to see. You hate to see it. You hate it.
Sorry, Dave.
I cucked you. No, no, that's it.
And then, yeah, churches,
who my wife's really into,
I'll probably become a really big fan after the show.
That's usually how it goes.
I mean,
I feel like you could have fun at that show
without knowing their full catalog.
Yeah.
The lead singer is,
she goes hard. She's good. Where are they from? They're The lead singer is, she goes hard.
She's good.
Where are they from?
They're European, right?
I don't know.
They put out Norwegian vibes
or something like that.
Yeah.
Definitely like Scandinavian.
Yeah.
Scantily clad.
No, no.
I'm leaving town.
That's right.
I'm in vacay mode
the second this podcast gets posted.
I'm actually not.
I have a lot of packing to do. Going to santos mexico are you familiar with this area vacation will no i'm not
cabeza watch baby where is it well that's coming back wow yeah it's my first cabeza watch on the
new podcast um it's near cabo hour hour and a half from cabo going with some friends we're staying at two houses
that are on the same compound together share a pool near the beach and it should be a very
chill sit that's cartel territory yeah oh yeah keep it exciting though yeah could die i know
i got a text yesterday from somebody and they're like hey what time do you get in i was like uh
like our plane lands at 11 40 and she's like all right we're gonna be at this day club if you want
to get dropped off there and i was like getting dropped off there is not gonna work like i i'm
not gonna go into this place with a bunch of bags and then like if i check them at the front i'm
gonna be scared the entire time that like someone's gonna steal all my shit how far is it from cabo
i think like an hour an hour and a half you should probably just drive in and go to squid row
one night yeah i was thinking about doing that i was thinking about just saying screw it just
staying in cabo get all the bottles last time i, I was thinking about doing that. I was thinking about just saying screw it and just staying in Cabo.
Get all the bottles.
Last time I was...
People don't talk about this.
Last time I was in Cabo
was when a big hit happened.
There were dudes hanging from bridges.
I remember that.
People got got, man.
Cabezawatch all of a sudden
went from being a joke on the podcast
to, oh shit.
Like we hope Will makes it back
with his head.
Yeah.
Head intact.
That's what I'm doing.
I'm going to miss Monday's episode,
but I'll be back.
I'll be back ready to go.
Happy for you, man.
I've been looking forward to this trip
for a long time,
so it's going to be a good one.
Yeah, that's it.
It's going to be fun.
It looks like the rain stopped
just in time for this podcast to end.
That's good.
Let's get out of here.
I will say this.
If you haven't signed up for Patreon yet,
this week's episode is a great one.
It is.
We had a good time.
We had a lot of banter prior to the phone calls
and we also went pretty hard on the phone calls.
A lot of weird locker room talk at the end
that came out of nowhere.
Yeah, not to spoil anything,
but Dylan saw a micro penis.
No, not a micro penis.
An inverted penis.
Yeah, even worse than a micro.
I'm still shocked by that. I'll draw you a picture, Dave, not a micro penis. An inverted penis. Yeah, even worse than a micro. I'm still shocked by that.
I'll draw you a picture, Dave,
when we leave here.
How can you draw a picture
of something that's inverted?
It's the Dame Lillard.
Dave just showed me a meme.
That's why I'm laughing.
It's a combo of Dame
and Game of Thrones.
Man, yeah.
That's another thing
about Game of Thrones
is that every single account
is doing everything they can
to cross-pollinate
their memes
with Game of Thrones.
It's kind of what we're doing. You got to strike iron's hot man yeah no i respect it no they really are man it's becoming too corporate bro like every account and they even
do it with like soccer they'll do game of thrones or avengers and stuff like that and they'll just
try to make it into something bleacher report is the number one culprit of doing this god
i can't tell if i love or hate bleacher report i confuse them with espionation and i know that's and they'll just try to make it into something. Bleacher Report is the number one culprit of doing this. Oh, God.
I can't tell if I love or hate Bleacher Report.
I confuse them with SB Nation,
and I know that's probably not fair.
I feel like SB Nation doesn't have their shit. They're like a less having their shit together version of Bleacher Report.
Are they the one that don't pay their people who write?
I don't know.
Deadspin's always shitting on them.
SB Nation?
But what else is new?
I don't know.
I'm a Bleacher Report guy.
Should we get out of here?
We should.
Cool.
See you guys Friday.
Kill, kill.
