Starting point is 00:00:00 all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from our places of residence my name is will to freeze on the screen in front of me david ruff man it felt good to get back in the gym this morning. Thank God for Governor Abbott. Got in there. Got under the rack again for the first time in like three months. It was good, man. How was kissing the homies for the first time? We had a no-kiss rule, man.
Starting point is 00:00:40 We were just doing six-inch spotting. I loved it. Hover hands, hover hips, I love hover hands, hover hips. As I had one plate on each side and, went well, man was doing some high reps, low weight. That's about two inches.
Starting point is 00:00:53 I didn't two inches too much on the spotting, but pretty good. It look, it's risky. It's risky, but you know, if you want to get back in there under the rack, you got to take some precautions,
Starting point is 00:01:01 but I don't even know if my gym is open. Honestly is look, Dylan, do you know if lifetime's open today it's our gym dave and i'm not sure i was actually about to ask you if if it opened today because i i do not know um not not that i would go but um i can see you going if y'all do miss the gym if y'all decide to like if y'all start if you all go to to a patio to a restaurant with another couple, have a drink, maybe some apps, maybe even an entree, I'm not going to hold that against you because I have faith that people are being responsible.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Y'all go to the gym, you're not going to see me for two weeks. I'm staying away. All right. I'm not going to the gym. In fact, i had this conversation with my wife yesterday as i contemplated buying a uh expensive mountain bike no not a boat not a pond and she was like well she was like you should just buy the bike and then just cancel your gym membership and i was thinking about it and i in my head i was like man i could probably
Starting point is 00:02:03 i could probably get away with doing that. I've been doing this home workout stuff so long, and then I was like, there's no way I could deal without the amenities. The sauna thing is just too good. So I will be keeping all gym memberships. Get your hot tub after a long workout? Are you kidding me? I can't.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Absolutely. Dave. The sauna, I miss it so much. Dave, I think you need to cancel your gym membership and make her happy and tell her how much money you're saving. And then just go completely overboard by building a sauna steam room combo in your backyard and just having some giant kind of your own compound. Instead of the Dave Ruff Swing Academy, it's just the Dave Ruff Health and Fitness Club.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Dave Ruff Executive Workout Club? Yes. And's just the Dave rough health and fitness club. Dave rough executive workout club. Yes. And just be like, I canceled my gym membership. Like you told me you wanted, you wanted me to be here and save money. I just have all the, uh,
Starting point is 00:02:54 all the VPs and South, South Austin come over for, and they, you know, pay me like $40 a month and they have access to sauna and steam room and like a hose in the backyard that they can like wipe down with the outdoor shower is just clamped it's like just a hose clamped to the side of the steam room oh dude i haven't been in it i need to talk to you about your guy that you use for wilmonds for your outdoor shower because i'm probably gonna need the same thing he no one's
Starting point is 00:03:19 heard from him in months he went on a paddle boarding excursion and he just disappeared around some peninsula and we just haven't even heard from him it's too bad dude their outdoor shower is just a hose that they strapped to a tree out there davis there's nothing really yeah he's not that good of a guy we asked him we asked him about like whether or not it was like you know how i don't i don't know much about plumbing but i asked if it was was connected to the plumbing system and stuff like that. And he just kind of looked at me puzzled and just went back to work. It was weird. Wow.
Starting point is 00:03:53 You guys see that tweet? Independent contractors are always a real hit or miss. Who's this person in wherever the state is, Kansas or something, who's got the Wilmonds license plate? You guys see that? Saw that, yeah. What are the chances? He's Wilmon. Hey, Wilmon.
Starting point is 00:04:13 I need to find this guy. I don't know, man. Should we take him out? Is that why you want to find him? My lips are sealed. We shouldn't talk about it on here if that's actually the plan. If we're going to put a hit out on somebody, we probably shouldn't talk about it on here if that's actually the plan. If we're going to put a hit out on somebody, we probably shouldn't talk about it on this podcast
Starting point is 00:04:28 that gets half a million listens every episode. That would be like live tweeting your coup of Venezuela with your private army. I'm just saying, that's what it would be like. It's okay. Dude, are you guys aware of how loaded today's episode is? Oh, yeah. If I was going to Dave's cafeteria for high school lunch,
Starting point is 00:04:53 I'd be in the baked potato line right now for sure. Don't you have a baked potato at Wilmot's? It's so obscure. That's how loaded it is. That's our bartender's newborn. We just call him the baked potato. God, those bacon bits that taste like rubber dude i like i like like i don't mind pre-made bacon bits you know like the bacon bits at like buffets when they're just like they're not bits they're just like it's they're incinerated i kind of like it's like just one giant preservative
Starting point is 00:05:21 yeah it's kind of tight i've never been a baked potato guy ever we talked about we talked about this recently like if once you get past the good shit on top of the baked potato and all you have left is like the thick not as cooked stuff and the skin it's like what am i supposed to do i feel wasteful anytime anytime you have to dress up something so much to make it taste good enough to eat it it's not for me. When you get past all the dressing stuff, the potato part is just bland, and I would never eat it by itself. I think that's because you were just putting
Starting point is 00:05:52 nothing but salt and pepper on your baked potatoes. You might like it more if you tried some butter, maybe a little cheese, sour cream. No, that's my point, is that it doesn't taste good unless you put all that shit on there. See, I need... You like pizza? Huh? You like pizza? Huh?
Starting point is 00:06:07 You like pizza? I like turtles. A basic pizza has sauce and cheese on it. That's good enough for me. It tastes good like that. Oh, cheese pizza guy here. Checking in. I would do... With your baked potato, do you...
Starting point is 00:06:23 Go ahead. Do you spin the baked potato? Do you mix it up so the top stuff is in the middle of it or no? Yes. Yes, I do. Okay. Maybe that's your problem. I want like a reheating station.
Starting point is 00:06:42 If I go to a baked potato bar and I'm loading this thing up, I want a reheating station where I can go add a little bit more butter, maybe a couple more toppings and toss that thing in so I can get round two on that. I don't need that much potato round one. I just want the toppings. Hey, what are buffets going to look? Sorry, you're trying to get to an ad.
Starting point is 00:06:55 I'm sorry, but I was going to ask what our buffet is going to look like in a post COVID world. Sneeze guards are only getting bigger. Like life is going to be a big sneeze guard. Yeah. What's Jason's deli going to do? Is sneeze guard yeah what's jason's deli gonna do is this is this the last that's what i'm thinking oh that's that was just wait for a covid sneeze
Starting point is 00:07:11 man just wait that was a problem how many double-headed face wipes has jason done throughout this entire ordeal he's just like oh my god dude we're getting our dicks kicked in right now yeah i don't know. I mean, I used to get reckless. I mean, anything was fair game at Jason's on the salad bowl. They should do a logo in there. I know. They should just put the ice cream machine outside
Starting point is 00:07:35 and let people come by and get their cones for free. I'm going to get you a cone. Yeah, but then they'd have them. We'd go there, and Dave's just going to grab it. God. Coneing reference. I actually wasn't trying to get to an ad read, Dave. Oh, my bad.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I felt like we were going down a road that we would never come back from. I was trying to just gas up the network as a whole. Not only did we have a fire ladies night on uh on happy hour live on friday i mean how could you not be happy about that uh we also have patreon tomorrow patreon.com slash circling back podcast uh the finale of the show that we just can't get enough of listen to your heart and i'm sure we'll have some voicemails on the back end of that uh another programming note i filled in late friday this was a late friday news dump i filled in on club cool barrett Listen to your heart. And I'm sure we'll have some voicemails on the back end of that. Another programming note. I filled in late Friday.
Starting point is 00:08:26 This was a late Friday news dump. I filled in on Club Cool. Barrett and I had a blast together. We talked about everything under the sun. Go check them out. And the Sunday Scaries was pretty hot this week, too. We went down memory lane. Dave jumped on.
Starting point is 00:08:39 It was a good time. Just go check out everything I just talked about. It's been a blast. The listeners who are not into uh listening to your heart they've got to be thrilled about the uh the finale uh that it's this week in our last tuesday episode talking about listen to your heart after that we're back to regularly scheduled stuff and you're you got to be happy about that no we're doing we see y'all we're doing the listen to your heart uh rewatch and so we'll be going back and running it back knowing what we know now we're just doing hindsight that was a surprise yeah sorry i know i'm just so excited to go back and rewatch that first
Starting point is 00:09:16 episode where we got to meet jamie for the first time uh that being said i will i will jump into an ad read now because if you're like me you probably start thinking about what you're eating for dinner uh while you're eating lunch you know i love food yeah that's why i love eating postmates more than ever like postmates is just saving everybody we don't want to go out there and and fight the the public and be in restaurants necessarily so right now you can get food delivered without leaving the house or even opening the door given what's going on in the world, they created non-contact deliveries.

Starting point is 00:10:31 for your first seven days when you download the Postmates app anything you want anytime you need it just Postmate it speaking of Postmates I had Popeyes for lunch yesterday. Really? Why didn't you? What the fuck? I send you a photo every single time I eat Popeyes. Here's the problem. I got the sandwich, and this is the first time I've had the sandwich in well over three months. And I could not wait. I washed my hands, and I put the sandwich on a plate with the red beans and rice, and I brought it in to watch the golf. I put my fast food on a plate if I'm going to watch it in the TV room, you have to just cause
Starting point is 00:11:08 it's just too messy, too greasy. And, uh, I, I didn't have time. Well, I, I was so damn hungry and it was the best. It honestly was probably the best version of that sandwich I've ever had. I not only send you photos of my food. I send you photos from the drive-through when's like, I always send you photos from the drive-thru. I always send you one from the drive-thru itself. I know. And here's the bigger shocker, Will. So the line was about eight cars deep. Popeye's was operating at maximum efficiency. They were going Chick-fil-A style, like car after car just going. And then they got my order 100% correct. Like I got a list of some chicken strips and they gave her the exact number we ordered,
Starting point is 00:11:50 which was a bummer to me because I was looking to catch a few bonus strips, but it just didn't happen. The one by our place has been on a hot streak of giving too many strips lately. It's fucking awesome. It's the best. It's great.
Starting point is 00:12:00 It's kind of great until like you're on day four of eating leftover chicken strips and you're like, fuck, I'm fat right now. What's going on? That's a lot of days of strips. I got two bonus pizza rolls from Pine House the other night. What? They just hooked me up. Yeah. I ordered four and they brought me six.
Starting point is 00:12:17 True story. Yeah, my driver was even like, yeah, we hooked you up with two extra ones, man. No charge. I was like, dude, tip coming your way right now, sir. Honestly, that pisses me off. You got Pine House delivered? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:33 I didn't know they do that. I didn't even know they had delivery, dog. You post made it? That's changed since you've been in Houston, Brett. I post made it, dog. What's your problem, Brett? Oh, there we go. That bums me out.
Starting point is 00:12:46 You ever been a local somewhere where you get hooked up like that? Just like on the reg? Yes. The sandwich spot in Harbor where they do a saran wrap? I get not one, but I get two pickle spears every single time. Ooh, double spears. Double pickle spears. They know.
Starting point is 00:13:03 It's like a 10-cent spear, man. That's huge pickle spears. They know. It's like a 10-cent spear, man. That's huge. They know. They know. I used to get hooked up all the time after I got left off the schedule when I walked into the Duncanville subway. They knew. They knew it was Asiago time,
Starting point is 00:13:16 and they would hook it up with the freshest Asiago. Would they just charge you for the fresh white loaf and then give you the Asiago? They'd give me double meat for the price of single meat that's loco so on my cold on my cold cut combo they would just double it up you know they would pull it out of the little wrap and just double up there and be like no you just had one didn't you wink wink it's a little it was a you know it's a good time in my life that photo of the dude the the sandwich artist taking a photo of the sandwich it resurfaced on my timeline again this weekend and every single time i see it i bust out laughing because if somebody did that to me i'd be like why are you disrespecting my
Starting point is 00:13:53 sandwich like that it was like a lettuce and black olives or something it was like lettuce pickles and black olives it was just terrible well i keep checking the postmates app to see when they're going to add Wilmonds, but for now it's still tied just delivering it to me. Dude, last time I ordered fish tacos, he forgot my tortillas, man. It's getting ridiculous. I know. He's got to – I mean – So I need to sort something out.
Starting point is 00:14:18 I think we might have a competition coming our way through Wilmonds, so just keep an eye out. Follow at Hello Wilmonds on Twitter. I think there is a competition coming because there are two competing Tide accounts and there can only be one. So I'm very excited to see how this pans out. I think I might have to have some kind of competition between these two to see who can actually be the official Tide. The official Hello Wilmonds account will have to endorse one of them and the other one just got to
Starting point is 00:14:43 go. If this account can get verified, which twitter's not doing it like we'll at least do a pop-up restaurant somehow like if we can get verified that's when you know it's real well you need to call jared i think it should be our three-year plan to open an actual like brick and mortar will mons or maybe just a trailer or something no that's not no we can't be the ones opening it our three-year plan needs to be that we license it to somebody who knows how to do this. And we- Who knows what they're actually doing. I don't care if we get a $100 check in the mail every month.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Like we cannot financially invest in a restaurant. That's a fair point. We are the majority owners of the Headless Parrot. So let's not forget about that. The Headless Parrot might be a slight slap. I don't even remember how that happened. It's your main competitor. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:15:32 You know, it's good to have a little competition in the marketplace. It brings the best out of everybody. Until you get bear hugged. Until you get bear hugged and all your chill vibes go away. Yeah. I love a good bear hug though. We're trying to figure out how to buy an actual bear so we can do this, but I don't think you can do that in Austin.
Starting point is 00:15:48 We'll figure it out. Should we bear hug a large to large size sex and smut podcast by any chance? That could work too. We might make a lot of money. I've been making the employees call me daddy lately but they're not
Starting point is 00:16:07 doing it we need to we need to get some private equity guys on the line with with the biggest jaws possible what's wrong with that guy's jaw i don't get it you look like a cartoon man what's going on i watched i was watching a video the other day every night i went down some wormhole i like one of the fucking butthead trump sons was trending on twitter so i went down this wormhole and i was watching old footage of them are there two uglier faces in the world as they were going through their 20s who the trump brothers very ugly oh the trump kids yeah don junior and eric like they had they had some butt-ugly faces. Yeah, but they make up for it with their hundreds of millions of dollars.
Starting point is 00:16:51 I hate to say this because by all accounts, he's a good dude, but, man, Larry Bird just has a face to forget. I was watching him on The Last Dance last night. You know what? Why don't you just take five minutes and get out of here? Larry Bird's such a strays. I feel bad for him. He's got reptile vibes to me for some reason.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Like old ass lizard. I don't know why. Coincidentally, he looks kind of like a bird. And that's his last name. He looks like an animal of some sort. He's ugly. Hey, we're burying the lead here. We can't talk about the last dance finale this quick we have
Starting point is 00:17:26 to we have to start with what the people want to hear dave how about that storm we had the other night dog whoo bubba you're telling me uh yeah friday night man central texas had a little uh had a dry line blow through if you caught us on the live stream, we were talking about what was going to happen that night. We had a pretty well-developed line of showers and thunderstorms coming in from the west. I have to say, as far as Central Texas goes, this was the most electricity I've seen in the air in my time here.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Eyes closed, I could see the lightning, which I know is a weird concept, but you could see the faint flashes even with your eyes closed and the thunder. Buddy, mash that or mash that Garth Brooks button because
Starting point is 00:18:19 it's rolling. Hey Dave, real quick, can you explain what a dry line is? Because that thing came through and it was anything but dry. Yeah, it's the opposite of a wet line. Right. It's the opposite of a wet circle. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:35 It's the shortest distance between two points, and it's dry as fuck. No, so it's just dry air when it hits the unstable, warm, moist air. That's when you get the showers and thunderstorms that pop up. God, I just get crazy age when you talk about weather and meteorology type stuff, Dave. It really gets me going. You should join my executive club. I actually will sit in the sauna with you and talk weather for 20 minutes. Dave actually has a
Starting point is 00:19:05 private Facebook group that he runs and he just lets people in and they just talk weather patterns constantly. I hate to burst your bubble here, but the Headless Parrot is actually sponsoring four storm chases this summer. You are required
Starting point is 00:19:22 to go on all four of them, actually. I would do that you say your marketing budget's huge we uh we actually run a we have another podcast we're about to launch it's just a storm chaser chaser podcast and we just chase storm chasers so like we just follow them around to see what they're gonna do like what are these guys gonna pull over on the highway like what's what's up are they gonna get how close are they gonna going to do. What are these guys going to pull over on the highway? What's up? How close are they going to get to this tornado? That'd be sick if storm chasers
Starting point is 00:19:49 had super fans that followed them around. Dude, get closer! Dude, I'm sure they do. Look what you guys are doing! Holding up signs that are just blowing in the wind. We could have the reality show where we follow around like four different groups of storm chasers and we just capture the infighting and like who's doing
Starting point is 00:20:11 better who's having a great season it's summer of 98 storm chasers what's like the game of storm chasing there's just to get like dope footage of storms or is there some kind of so i think there's going on there's probably an adrenaline rush that goes along with it too i mean that's that's got to be feeding a lot of these people yeah i think it's a combination of all those because you have now it's like kind of at the dangerous point where you have people just adrenaline junkies trying to chase storms and then you have like your legitimate storm chasers who you know much like the movie twister are trying to get data from the tornado. I don't know if they're launching up little metal balls
Starting point is 00:20:50 into the NATO anymore, but they're getting the intel and they're sending it back to the base and they're just doing like the breakdown of the tornado, the winds and whatnot. Do they get sponsors like Monster or Red Bull to wrap their trucks and all that stuff? That's what I envision.
Starting point is 00:21:10 You've got to think so. Okay. I would love nothing more than to see a truck like the Red Bull, the little SUV with the giant can coming out of the back just going right into a tornado. Just rolling up to that EF2.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Do you guys remember last week on Monday's podcast when we talked about how rainy it was supposed to be all week? Turned out it was actually a beautiful week last week outside of Monday and Friday. We had two days of about anywhere from two to four inches each day and night. So, yeah, it kind of just came in lump sums instead of a light sprinkling each day. It's big weather for you, dude. Thank God I laid down that mulch.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Shaking my head. Is Scott Fisher weighed in on any of this? Did he say where this ranked among storms that he's experienced in Austin, Texas? Scott Fisher says. Because that's what I want to know. I haven't followed him. where this ranked among storms that he's experienced in Austin, Texas? Scott Fisher says. Because that's what I want to know. I haven't followed him. He's the only real one.
Starting point is 00:22:12 He's the only real one I trust at this point. He's got his ear to the ground. He knows what's going on. As far as severe storms go, those weren't the most severe. But lightning-wise and thunder, for me personally, Southwest Austin, that was, that was intense. I think you got it worse than us because even though it was a, it was a hell of a storm, it was a hell of a storm for us. But based on, I sat in bed and just watch it out my window. I think you got more smoke down South compared to us because
Starting point is 00:22:40 it was incredible, but it was probably like it. I don't think it was even the harshest one I've been a part of in Austin from my perspective. There was one where I was over at Ross's house. That was during Harvey, where I just remember being like crazy. But that was more rainfall than thunder and lightning though. So I guess we're kind of talking about two different things. We're comparing apples and oranges.
Starting point is 00:23:01 So I'm like, I laid my head down to to go to sleep i've been playing call of duty and i closed my eyes and i was seeing like the flashes like with my eyes closed and then i was always like all right i gotta watch this so i would see these flashes and then in my head i would do like the one mississippi just curious there was one that was the loudest rumble of thunder i've heard in years and it was like four miles away and i was like damn that's powerful what did that sound like right on top of it like that's gonna blow somebody's eardrums out i can't believe you didn't hear more of it dylan although even though i've been to your house i still don't understand where you live
Starting point is 00:23:36 yeah it's um i i'm on i'm i'm gonna co-sign what will says it didn't seem like it was that intense i didn't there were no like super loud claps of thunder or anything like that. It was kind of just low rumbling type stuff where I was. Yeah. That far away, Dave, really, geographically speaking. Where we were, man, it sounded like the angels were clapping cheeks. Might have been. Might have been, dude.
Starting point is 00:24:03 By the way, I would like to confirm that I just went to his Twitter page, and Scott Fisher still starts every tweet with, Scott Fisher says, colon, and then what he has to say. So I love what he's doing over there. It's great stuff. Scott Fisher's eyes just started filling with tears of happiness when Twitter gave him more characters to work with. He was just like, oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:24:23 He was biting the fist just like antonio banderas.gif yeah bernard garrick is right off the jump every time he tweets man like what are you doing yeah he didn't want that sub too he was just like oh my god um i tried to take it never mind actually where the wormhole is about to go down is not worth not worth it right now um can we talk about the last dance which i just finished this morning because my dvr fucked up yeah yes um finale last night really couldn't have been happier with the series as a whole myself. Do you guys have any opening thoughts for this?
Starting point is 00:25:10 I have an opening thought. So he was talking about how the team was broken up prematurely before they got a chance to make a run at their seventh ring in nine years. And it sucks. I agree that he said, he used the word maddening. It sucks that they didn't get a chance to do it. It would have been awesome to see if they could have. But it kind of adds to like the mystique,
Starting point is 00:25:36 like the legend of Michael Jordan. Because there's always like, whenever there's an element of like, oh, what could have been if this happened? It kind of makes it like, I don't know, it just makes it... They went out on top.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Yeah, they went out on top, but like, I don't know, if he had tried for a seventh and didn't win it, maybe he comes back for another year and doesn't win it again, it kind of tarnishes it a little bit, you know, that that's the way they end their run. So it's good and it's bad that it didn't happen, I guess.
Starting point is 00:26:13 I like it when in sports, like when a dynasty like that goes out on their sword and, you know, they get knocked off and it's kind of a passing of the torch. Obviously, that didn't really happen at all. Was 98 the strike year? 99? 99, yeah. The shortened season. Who ended up being the next champion?
Starting point is 00:26:37 Was it the Spurs? I think that was the first year the Spurs won it. Spurs won the shortened season, right? Yeah. Which that doesn't count. Just throw that out. Spurs won the shortened season, right? Yeah. Which that doesn't count. Just throw that out. Spurs don't get that trophy. Oh, shut up.
Starting point is 00:26:49 Nah, throw it out. They had 50 regular season games. Nah, you just got to throw that out, though. What? Nah. Nah. Sorry, Spurs Nation. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:59 I'm a big fan of the Admiral. Love the Admiral, but the other guys can't really count it. I'm sorry. One of the all-time greats um all in all man i i enjoyed this i thought there was a stretch from like episode i would say six through eight were like the best like that was like the meat of it when it was just operating at its highest but the last two were great i could have used a little bit more on the breakup like i would have liked it i almost would have wanted an entire episode on reinsdorf and kraus and like just kind of the what the city of chicago was saying the internal bickering but
Starting point is 00:27:36 i can't complain that was that really made this whole uncertain time thing a lot better so by the way throughout this entire documentary i was wondering why they didn't they didn't interview jerry kraus they were just slamming him the whole time basically uh then i realized that he he died three years ago i had to google that oh that's why he wasn't available for interview they thought about they didn't get the ouija board yeah they're gonna get a hologram but they thought it would be in poor taste to have a hologram talking into the camera yeah get it i thought my favorite episode and this is obviously just because of my where my They thought it would be in poor taste to have a hologram talking into the camera. Yeah. Get it.
Starting point is 00:28:09 I thought my favorite episode, and this is obviously just because of where my interests lie, but my favorite episode was just the episode where they talked about him signing on with Nike and all that. It was just very interesting from a perspective of like, I mean, I like the NBA and stuff like that, but like you'd seen all these clips, and so getting the backstory was cool, but I had no idea that like, had no idea how nike just wasn't that much of a power player until jordan just propelled him there so that was that was my favorite episode but like i do agree with you dave the latter half did seem to pick up a lot and and kind of have more uh i don't want to say like heaviness but like it had a much more of a uh a basis for you know getting emotionally attached to some of these guys. The Kerr stuff last night, I had no idea.
Starting point is 00:28:48 I actually didn't like Steve Kerr that much. And then after this episode, I was like, fuck, Steve Kerr's the man. Dude, Beirut was a wild place. Good band, too. That's right. Also, dude, the Rodman storyline just continues to keep giving and uh i remember him doing that i had no idea he did that in the middle of a playoff run didn't either like smack in the middle of games like uh him the thought of him just like missing practice to go
Starting point is 00:29:21 hit diamond dallas page with the chair is is the best thing that's ever happened in sports. I forgot where I read this. It was probably a Revell tweet. He was fined $20,000 for missing practice, but he made $250,000 for that appearance. It's good business. I'm skipping practice. That don't work out. If the WWF's in town and I can be a part of NWO and make money on it,
Starting point is 00:29:47 yeah, I'm skipping practice. See you later. Dude, Hollywood Hogan. What a great blast in the past. There was a lot of Carmen Electra on my timeline last night, and not to get too H on the TL right now, but she looks amazing. She's been looking great in the interviews during the last dance, and I forgot how H I was as a kid for her. Do you guys remember where you were when he hit any of those big shots?
Starting point is 00:30:22 There's only one where I actually remember exactly where i was and i i think it was the 98 shot so i was only 11 so it makes sense that i wasn't like glued to the tv for for his other stuff what'd you say you're talking about jordan or rodman jordan not rodman rodman didn't make any shots yeah that's what i was looking for. Oh, yeah, dude, I remember watching all those, man. It was, for me, I was, I guess, 15 at the time, and it was must-watch TV for me. I watched every single playoff game that the Bulls were in. That was a fun series for me, the Pacers and Bulls,
Starting point is 00:31:01 because I had become a Pacers fan. I loved Reggie Miller. I just loved what they were doing over there. Mark Jackson just dishing out passes, man. And I even had a pet turtle that I found and I named it Reggie. I had a Reggie Miller jersey, but I remember
Starting point is 00:31:19 being very conflicted in the Eastern Conference Finals and at the end of the day, I was pulling for Jordan. I was like, I'm not ready for this to end. So it was a very tough time for 13-year-old me or whatever I was. I did not know that about you. Did he ever win one? No.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Who, Reggie? No. Yeah. No. Fuck the Pacers, dude. I didn't know that you liked the Pacers at one point, Dave. Man, that stinks for me. I didn't either.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Yeah, Reggie Miller. I loved Reggie Miller, man. He's a bitch. Rick Smith's out there, just casual hooks. I hate Reggie Miller. I like Jalen Rose, but I would have hated him if he didn't go to Michigan. But there's just so, like, I don't know. Obviously, the mouse in the palace adds to my kind of hatred for them.
Starting point is 00:32:05 But every Pacers team I've ever encountered, I'm like, why are you guys like this? Like, you live – Well, what they did to the Knicks, too, the Reggie Miller versus Spike Lee stuff was just so electric for me. Yeah, it was cool. It was a cool time. I just hated them.
Starting point is 00:32:19 And then they added Southwest Texas great Scott Foster a few years later. I mean, come on. It doesn't get any better. It gets better. The best part of – favorite part of that last night's episode was when they did the Space Jam stuff, and they built a gym for Michael Jordan, and they just had like – it was like the 92 Dream Team stuff,
Starting point is 00:32:39 like the scrimmages that were in the Burbank gym while filming Space Jam must have been incredible. That was last week. That was last week. That was last week. Oh, maybe I'm... Well, I watched it before then, so I'm sorry. Come on, Dalton. Brett, you silly bitch.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Yeah, that was nice. I mean, you're not wrong. That was very interesting. Yeah, like... I'll tap out on Space Jam. Yeah, what you said is factually accurate and correct. I'm going to miss this. I'm just happy with it.
Starting point is 00:33:09 I'm happy all around. What are we watching next Sunday night? What do we do? We got the Tiger one next week, right? Did you see all the booty chatter on Twitter last night about like someone had a tweet that was like, no player has done or been that far and away better on uh in terms of just his competitors blah blah blah and then people were like tiger
Starting point is 00:33:30 woods serena williams and it was like the guy was the guy was going back on here he wasn't going back on the take and it was finally like dude go back on this take like there's so much evidence and like not just like you know hearsay it's there's actual facts that back up that tiger woods did so much for golf in the same way that mj did it for basketball like just shut up dude it was a very yeah very good wormhole uh they're at least in the argument and the fact that their individual sports with serena and tiger. It's, you know, I feel like that kind of skews in their direction, but whatever, that's fine. What, Hey, you know what? Have fun with it. Do what you want.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Put your takes out there. Halster the pistols. Tiger. The only difference between, in my eyes, between, you know, Tiger, they both took breaks and, you know, at the peak of their career and stuff, it just was Tiger. Tigers was because he was banging hookers and Michaels was because his father died and he wanted to play baseball. To each their own.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Man. More injury related. I guess. He probably could have come back a little sooner if his life didn't just get completely derailed. That's fair. He had a tough run there.
Starting point is 00:34:47 There's no doubt about it. He's still my all-time favorite athlete. It's okay. He's the big cat. Yeah, Tiger. Yeah, yeah. He's up there for me, too. MJ is probably my number one, honestly.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Man, I didn't realize that he went to six nba finals they won all six of them he got six mvps like finals mvps and they never went to a game seven isn't that wild coach shit dude yeah i think this this pretty much it. I know this was pure propaganda, but I thought Jordan was the alpha going into this, and this just reaffirms my position. Can I put something up on the screen? Speaking to Brett, Brett wanted to talk Space Jam, but these are not the Space Jam Jordans, but these are getting released. These are the Bel Air Jordans, the Jordan 5s,
Starting point is 00:35:42 and these are coming out in the next couple months. Man, I just don't see myself wearing those. Yeah, that's my... I want them in my closet, but I don't see me wearing them. I think Jordans are sick, and I love that it became this cultural phenomenon. I just wish I could pull them off, but as a 36 year old dad i
Starting point is 00:36:05 just i just can't i think you i don't i think you're selling yourself short because you are a 36 year old dad who owns yeezys true yeah but i didn't buy the yeezys and i don't wear them out in public also to be fair to you do wear them out in public i've seen you numerous times but i think your yeezys are the most low-key lezys that you could wear in public. You can walk in somewhere and people aren't going to be like, why is that dude wearing those? They're the most under-the-radar ones that you could have. I was walking into Target
Starting point is 00:36:33 one time wearing them, and this 13-year-old kid was like, hey, man, love the shoes. I was like, ah, I probably got to take these off at some point. I was like, thanks, player. Did you dab him up? He like, thanks, King? Like, thanks, player. Did you dap him up? He goes, hey, fuck you, Dorn. I didn't dap him up.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Was he wearing a hoodie with the hood just on the crown of his head and his hair sticking out the front? He's like, dude, I love you, James. Yeah, he was a hater. Sure. Like, damn, for an old dude, you got swag, player. Nothing's worse than that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:06 You know what's better than that? Me, Undies. Are you guys dreaming of summertime like I am? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

That's MeUndies.com slash circling back that's me undies.com circling back uh skins game was this weekend will will can i bring up one more point from the last dance real quick the food poisoning thing from salt lake city the flu game real quick what do y'all how did they know that was MJ's pizza? I was wondering the same thing. I was wondering the same thing.
Starting point is 00:39:12 I thought that was bizarre. I don't know if I completely buy that. No, I don't buy any of it. Yeah, you don't be like, oh, by the way, this is for Michael Jordan, so make it extra good. No, it doesn't work like that. Yeah, and no one's ever gotten sick.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Like the only time you get sick for pizza is eating too much pizza. You're not getting like food poisoning from pizza. Right. What'd they say they did to it? Well, they don't know. Yeah. That brings up a number of questions. We'll like something else.
Starting point is 00:39:37 They test the, yeah. Like, did they test them and figure out what it was? Did they go back and find like the pizza crust and see that there's like doodoo on it or something? Like what's up? Also, what it was they go back and find like the pizza crust and see that there's like doodoo on it or something like what's up also did this information leak at all ever before last night i mean it's it was called the flu game forever and it was obviously widely believed that he had the flu
Starting point is 00:39:57 and we're just now finding out you know 22 years later that that's not what it was they say flu like symptoms for like anything. Like if you have like a sinus headache, it's flu like symptoms. It's, they use it pretty, pretty broadly, but it's fine.
Starting point is 00:40:13 I found that very hard to believe too, Dave. It didn't make sense to me. What five guys delivered it. Like how, how do they know this was for, for Jordan? There's nothing about it made sense.
Starting point is 00:40:23 The whole squad just got together and went to deliver the pizza yeah weird weird yeah i just want to close the book on that because i felt that was like uh that didn't get enough time people aren't questioning it enough as they should i think yeah i mean i don't my no one wants my thoughts on this because my thoughts are not very nice about it I think the whole situation feels very overblown okay
Starting point is 00:40:52 sorry let's talk about the skins game for for a minuscule amount of time yeah it was fine something to watch I did not get a golf nap in
Starting point is 00:41:04 it raised a lot of money for charity so that's cool uh it it was it was fine it's cool to have golf back it was cool to see those guys matt wolf's laugh stole the show matt wolf i did what i learned yesterday is that i just hate matt wolf which is a good thing to know going forward. It couldn't keep my attention. I got very bored with it very early on. It did pretty much nothing for me. Yeah. I mean, it, it, I, I gave it my all. I sat down, I turned it on and I was like, all right, let's get into this. And then just nobody would shut up. And like every single announcer just kept on going. They had Billray on for what i thought was just the most pointless thing in the world and then it's like all right let's follow that up with a trump interview where he's just taking shots at people
Starting point is 00:41:52 left and right i'm like dude oh that was electric like just show me just show me the fucking players it's not that hard and like dave said like they got to protect the players like i don't care it's just so soft these guys like these players need to be they need to have a personality behind them and we didn't see any of it and there had to have been a lot of people that turned that shit off before like we actually got to see some of the good stuff yeah it didn't get good till like like the last five or six holes and they always say you know you and when it comes to a skins match man you can you only have to tune into the last last five or six. That's what they've always said. Everything that Will said is accurate.
Starting point is 00:42:31 I did think Trump was like the most engaged I was. Like when he came on, I was like, that's when I was paying attention the most. Because, you know, Rory came out before saying that he doesn't have a good relationship with Trump anymore. He doesn't agree with his handling of everything. And I was really hoping we were going to get some high heat from the commander in chief, but did not work out that way. He threw some passive aggressive shots at people, but it was vintage president. But all in all, it was cool to have it on and the coverage was meh. Trump made a good point.
Starting point is 00:43:07 No one told us about coronavirus. We had no clue. They should have told us. They should have told us, man. Like no one had any idea. And then all of a sudden we're just like pandemic, you know, should have told them. DJ playing extremely fast was like the highlight of it for me. Like he did not wait.
Starting point is 00:43:24 I loved it. That was vintage me. He did not wait. I loved it. That was vintage DJ. He was pretty terrible. Ricky was the best player. Rory was fine. Whatever. Matt Wolfe hit some of the biggest wipes I've ever seen. That dude is long, man.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Did he think that he was going to go viral with that mustache of his? Is that why he did it? He's like, oh, man, people are going to be talking about this mustache during the skins game for years to come it's like dude shut up the best mustache to come out of the skins games craig stadler craig stadler was a staple in the back in the day in those skins games and he just crushed it love craig stads do you guys think that kind of of fun to watch them carry their own bags. I thought that part was interesting. But, you know, like I said, it didn't do a whole lot for me.
Starting point is 00:44:12 I want a real golf bag. Are we excited for next week with Phil and Tiger, with Brady? Do we think they're going to execute this is the question? No. No. It's going to be – did you notice like the only, so when they find the announcers finally let the, let the players who were mic'd up actually talk and have some banter.
Starting point is 00:44:34 It was exactly what you thought it was going to be. It was kind of a canned Rory got a FedEx cup line in there talking about how he's won it twice. Like the trash talk was not how they talk trash no and i get that they're they're uh they're neutered on that deal taylor made's got to protect them because those are all taylor made golfers although ricky just plays the taylor made ball which that was a question we had last week um i don't get why but yeah man like you're saying okay like what you're saying is right like taylor made pga tour they need to neuter these guys
Starting point is 00:45:04 a little bit but why can't they just mic these guys up fully and be like guys you guys are on national television if you swear if you say if you drop something unsavory you'll get fined or why not just put a minute delay behind it and then just let the producers sort it out it doesn't make any sense to me but the one thing yeah the one thing i took from it is that you know we've had some interviews go go not great for us in the past like numerous times and i can feel this like discomfort when it starts to happen because i feel like the people that are watching are having that it felt really good yesterday to see mike turrico squirming during the bill murray thing thinking like you know what even even really good people at this still have like a really hard time
Starting point is 00:45:44 containing some of these people and laughing through the awkward jokes that don't land. Man, but he was eating pistachios. That was crazy. How did they not have a better quality stream for Bill Murray? Just send him some equipment or don't do it at all. I completely missed the Bill Murray part. It was wasted. It was the ultimate like in the production meeting beforehand they're like oh
Starting point is 00:46:10 sick idea i'm gonna call bill murray you know caddyshack like bill murray he likes he likes golf he's a quirky guy let's get him on it just could have been better man like i i don't know but the bill murray part like yeah they just could have executed it better like instead they were literally working out his positioning mid-interview he was like well why don't you get a little to the right for the rest of it and then bill murray's just sitting awkwardly like hunched over he should have tariko tariko couldn't get past that he should have just let that go like i there were so many awkward moments from the first hour um i don't know why did you have a guitar and a and a straw hat next to him i love the i don't know i love the idea of tariko just sitting underneath like a palm tree just strumming
Starting point is 00:46:54 on a guitar with the straw hat just like singing stuff singing some an electric guitar at that he's just mashing bar chords on his stratococaster. Who's better at their respective instruments, Michael Jordan at piano or Mike Tirico at electric guitar? Tirico definitely knows the first few notes of multiple songs. Yeah, he knows Time of Your Life and that's it. Smoke on the Water with Mike Tirico. Yep. He should release it now. Iron Man. of your life and that's it smoke on the water with my tarika yep he should really iron man are we done are we done with the golf i just i think i have a terrible take here
Starting point is 00:47:33 and so i'm going to say it i don't think seminal is that tight thank you brett i just i was like they were didn't look awesome they were blowing the course like left and right i was like ah golf twitter was loving that course and They were blowing the course like left and right. I was like, ah, golf Twitter was loving that course. And I was sitting on Twitter. I'll tell you it's, it's sick, but it just didn't translate.
Starting point is 00:47:53 I mean, not to, I had some buddies who were telling me how sick it was. And I, I didn't, I didn't throw the fuego in the group text, but I was sitting there and I was like, I'm not racing to play this course,
Starting point is 00:48:01 nor is it making a short list for me of places I want to play on my bucket list. Like that. It's just not places I want to play on my bucket list. Like it's just not, it did not come across well on TV for sure. Didn't look tight. All I'm thinking is some of those holes, the sand nets that are like biting your ankles and shit have to be miserable.
Starting point is 00:48:18 That just gave me a flash. That just gave me a flashback to our round of golf in Ponte Vedra, but before the players championship where you had to sprint. Sawgrass Country Club. Yeah, you had to sprint off every single tee box because you would get mosquito bites just swinging the club one time. I didn't even take practice swings for the first four holes. No, you would look down and there would be thousands of them swarming you. And it was the only time I've ever almost quit a round of golf because of mosquitoes.
Starting point is 00:48:43 And like five holes in, we were contemplating it. Dude. Even though it was like one of the nicer courses we'll play. Well, fucking Dorn got like, he got shafted, so he got to sit back at the place. And then I was like, man, I'm jealous that Dylan is just sitting at our party mansion while we're getting bit by mosquitoes this entire time. I think I gave Dan my spot. Is that what happened?
Starting point is 00:49:01 I'm trying to remember why I didn't. Yeah, I gave Dan my spot. And when y'all got back and told me about it, I was like, too bad I missed it. Oh, no. Honestly, yeah, it got better. But the first hour was like just people complaining. We were all just in such a bad mood. It wasn't even complaining, dude. It was us huffing around, just pissed off like, fuck, like this is bullshit. Oh, just pissed off like fuck like this is bullshit oh like uh i took my golf towel out of my bag and and put it over my legs in the golf cart because my legs were just getting chewed up and it was like 100 degrees i forgot about that we all looked like frail old women in wheelchairs
Starting point is 00:49:36 like sitting there with like like cold blankets on ourselves because we were just covering our skin it was just so and i think i had one thing of bug spray but i had like one last spritz left and it was just like oh this is not going to cover the squad oh i called the uh i called the pro shop and i was like do you guys have bug spray you can bring out to us oh we'll pay like a premium and they were like we really don't and i was like i don't know how that's possible we didn't pay for the route so i would have paid i would have pooled like a hundred dollars with you guys to like get some goddamn bug spray since we got everything else for free it was like i don't want to ruin this absolutely oh how much like beach cruisers though and tearing through
Starting point is 00:50:14 that neighborhood oh like a like a bicycle gang that was so tight that was the best time i think about that sometimes when i'm on the peloton i'm like dude i would have been cooking had i done a little pally before this shots yeah those bikes turns out weren't made for uh for four mile trips to uh the course that we took the long way that that was your fault that was yeah it was your fault by the way dylan you'll let the guy who's directionally challenged lead the way that's kind of on y'all too i mean what was i gonna i'm worse than you i would have been like clueless oh wow uh dave do you have any i don't want to i don't want to do a full segment on this do you have any thoughts on your uh your team yesterday and their first game back
Starting point is 00:51:00 oh you're talking about munich yes yeah you know it's good to see the boys get back on the pitch you know are you you're low-key russian right now too there's russian oh come on guys that's russian dude no it's not uh it's great to see him out there man i don't even know why berlin man like shows up anymore right because it's like you're not gonna beat munich how much did you actually watch i watched all of it you did i really did did you think the stadium where it was was kind of tight that's all i could think about i was just like dude the stadium's kind of just like in like there's trees everywhere it's great very scenic. Yeah, it was definitely different. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:51:53 I had more fun watching that than I did the golf for the most part, right? I mean, I don't know. It was interesting. As a guy who has watched very little of the Bundesliga, as you might have guessed. I could say it was a good, fun way to pass some time in the late morning here. Brett, you became a Dortmund fan over the weekend by using a chart that led you there. Do you want to tell us how you found your way to Dortmund?
Starting point is 00:52:21 Oh, yeah. So the BFT commenter, he put a chart up on Twitter and it led to Borussia Dortmund? Oh, yeah. So, as a BFT commenter, yeah, he put a chart up on Twitter, and it led to Borussia Dortmund. That skewed Canadian, I just want to point out, which was kind of funny. I was trying to get it there, and I just realized it wasn't going, so I bailed on it. But, yeah, apparently I'm a Borussia Dortmund fan, and then they were up 2-0 immediately, so it was tight. Yeah, they handled them. Borussia Dortmund fan. And then they were up 2-0 immediately, so it was tight. Yeah, they handled them. It was not a big deal. They have a striker that apparently Will's a huge fan of.
Starting point is 00:52:52 Fuck that guy. No, no, no. He might eventually make his way to United, but I have to be kind of against him right now because we lost out on him at the last minute. So it's okay. Too bad. I don't have a horse in the race.
Starting point is 00:53:06 What is Borussia Dortmund? Are they like the the wolves or what's their thing um i don't know they're just obsessed with their color scheme black and yellow truthfully bundesliga is like my i i don't pay attention much to it unless there's like an off week for primary league for some reason so so the german how does bundesliga stack up the league well they're they're top heavy so you know bayern and uh dortmund leaps it leipzig i don't know i i i pronunciations are not my thing we know this by now um they're top heavy so they can they can push their weight around you know generally but like they're still they're they're a top league to watch i'll say that it's better than the french league but in terms of everything else like the spanish league it's going to blow them out of the water
Starting point is 00:53:52 uh they're kind of top heavy too whatever people are going to come at me for this on reddit so i can't wait for that it's going to be really exciting pumped about it i'm even more let's go let's go even more pumped about figs if there's ever a time that we should be standing figs is it now is this are we in peak season i mean like the world changed overnight and doctors nurses and medical professionals immediately ran to the crisis since then they've been working extra long hours hours distancing themselves from their loved ones and risking their lives to save hours they sacrifice a lot lot, not just now, but all year round. So shouldn't we be looking out for them?
Starting point is 00:54:28 Well, luckily, they can wear FIGS. FIGS is an amazing company who had the backs of these awesome humans since 2013. They create ridiculously soft, modern scrubs that help healthcare workers look good, feel good, and perform at their best. Do you guys want to know how they're responding to COVID-19? Please tell us, Will. In response to COVID-19, FIGS has already donated over 30,000 sets of scrubs to hospitals across the country. They've donated $100,000 to the Frontline Responders Fund to help ship PPE and supplies and sent hundreds
Starting point is 00:54:56 of care packages to those who need it most. They've also created their own three-layer protective mask and utilized their supply chain to produce millions of N95 masks and PPE. And FIGS will continue to do whatever it takes to support healthcare workers during this challenging time. These things are not only, they're not only doing good, but they feel good. They fit good. They're packed with tons of features and functionality. They created their own proprietary fabric that features Silvador antimicrobial technology.

Thursday was the day that I followed everybody's tips and tricks and things go pretty well. I'm like, okay, I find a car I like, I test drive it. I say, here's the deal. I don't

We're at the coffee shop heading over to the car place and uh get the text oh we sold it last night oh that's bullshit oh did you show up my dude no my dude went from having the keys in his hand Saturday morning to actually know we sold it last night also had talked to his manager Saturday morning said yeah I got I got the number you wanted perfect got the number you wanted. Perfect. Got the number, got the keys, and here we go. Oh, by the way, it sold last night.
Starting point is 00:58:30 Oh, man, I'd be pissed. Did you go back to that dealership at all? Hell no. He goes, I'll send you more options that I have. I said, fantastic. I'll delete that email real quick. Then I went to dealership number two. And dealership number two, I called ahead of time. This is in a suburb that's 45 minutes away from where I am.
Starting point is 00:58:49 So it's going to be a little bit of a hike. But they have a car that I want. They have the make model trim. So I call. I say, hey, I see you guys have this car. I see it has the, there's no pictures of it yet. But she said, oh, yeah, that's because it just got in yesterday. It's going to take our photographer a couple days to get the pictures on the website okay that's fine get a text from
Starting point is 00:59:09 the sales guy hey uh come in at four we'll have the car and i go can i test drive the car at 4 p.m of course can't wait to see you here okay so saturday's looking up get there guess guess who does not have the car i'm gonna say the deal heating nissan in conroe texas does not oh yeah expose them fuck heating nissan so they just wanted to get you in the building man guess who got in the building and then walked out entirely pissed off and they but they'll they'll make it right for me what was their excuse? they got it from the auction and it just hadn't gotten there yet it's still on the truck man
Starting point is 00:59:51 still on the truck I'm supposed to get a text today sorry man we're getting killed over here these times are uncertain and unprecedented I would be very frustrated with that I didn't know it was this hard to get a Volvo. It's not a Volvo. I thought you were getting a Volvo.
Starting point is 01:00:10 You put out Volvo. I could see you driving a Volvo. Dude, I see 90s are kind of tight. I won't lie. No. There's Volvo. There's Volvo sick. Have you looked at Volvo's website at the prices of these things?
Starting point is 01:00:25 They're sneaky expensive. When I was at the market, I like went to the Volvo website. I was like, maybe I'll check out a Volvo. And then I was just like, never mind. Holy shit. So anyway, so then Saturday. So Saturday we're pissed off. And then I go to dealership number three.
Starting point is 01:00:45 Saturday we're pissed off and then I go to dealership number three and dealership number three is it's uh more of a private dealership so to speak so it's not a it's not a like Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram it's like something motor cars and they just resale they flip you know use car okay and uh I get there actually shaper nope um car is ready to go it's great the whole thing's set up but it's just like sneaky he gives me the keys i literally within two minutes of getting on the lot no no license no insurance tosses me the keys and says go ahead i'll see you in 15 minutes you should laugh hell yeah i should have just left with it yeah he gave it to you he just he gave me the car so i drive around then I get back, and we're looking around. There's, like, scratches on it.
Starting point is 01:01:30 It's pretty beat up as far as a 30,000-mile car should go. And so I'm like, okay, kind of weird. And then we get back to the thing, and there's no talk about the car. Nothing. He goes, you want to come to my office? I'm like does it have like what's the safety inspection he goes oh yeah we took care of all that and so he's just saying he's just not saying enough and then he goes gets in the office and pushes a piece of
Starting point is 01:01:54 paper in front of me with like four numbers on it it's like why are we still doing that and i was like you haven't even shown me the car facts yet he goes oh i have him right here here you go and so i'm like dude there's just no professionalness here sounds like this guy was just disrespecting you disrespect yeah they're very scummy why did you bring what was dylan doing this entire time was dylan just like talking to like the front desk people and like drinking like bottled waters like mini bottled waters and just throwing them on the ground for other people to pick up? No, there was a G-Wagon in the showroom that Dylan kept doing. Hey, I'm just going to check out this G-Wagon real quick.
Starting point is 01:02:35 I ended up buying that, by the way. The G-Wagon? I didn't even tell you. The homie needs a starter car. It's funny because these guys have a reputation. Like used car salesman, it's like the scummiest of the sales industry. And it's actually based in like fat. They are just like shitty people who do anything to get your signature.
Starting point is 01:02:58 No, man. I stay in our used car salesman backers though. These guys will do anything to get a deal done. Major shout. Yeah, those guys are cool. Yeah, you guys are do anything to get a deal done. Major shout. Yeah, those guys are cool. Yeah, you guys are cool. The rest of you guys, fuck you. We hire another sales guy.
Starting point is 01:03:14 I want to see used car salesman on his resume or her resume. There you go. I mean, it's atrocious what happened to me. So long story short, I have no car yet, but I am fully ready to pull the trigger. What's that? What's the plan from here? He's going to keep looking or what? Yeah, I'm going to keep looking.
Starting point is 01:03:36 Okay. I'm going to keep looking. Bro, that's a tough place to be, man. It's a very tough place to be. Yeah, I'm going to give Keating Nissan in Conroe, Texas, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt today and if they give me a call and make it right as they said they were going to,
Starting point is 01:03:52 I'll think about it. But so far, they are... That's a bargaining chip you have now. It is, and I also got the quote for the third dealership. We got to the quote that I wanted we got to the price I wanted and like all the other fees and stuff that I wanted so I
Starting point is 01:04:10 can bring that back to Keating and it's on a sheet of paper and say can you beat this if you if you would have brought if you would have brought Dylan you've all said you have a car right now you might have two cars right now if you brought that mustache with you it's true the biggest mistake and i should have bought the first car was perfect on thursday and i just like wasn't i hadn't gotten my car like a pretty like i hadn't got you know it's just i wasn't ready to pull the trigger that day we also told you to be fair to us we also all told you to to walk out of there before doing anything like we kind of screwed you out of the car that you needed us we also all told you to to walk out of there before doing anything like we kind
Starting point is 01:04:46 of screwed you out of the car that you needed because we were all just like no you got it you got to get the quote and then just get out of there don't talk to them we really did you should not have listened to us don't bring your trade in don't be like be prepared but don't be like ready to sign the deal at that point and now and i up losing out on the car. I think this is our... Brett, have you... Go on, Dave. I was going to ask if you've tried one of those like AutoNation or those big... What is the one that you just go
Starting point is 01:05:15 and the price on the window is the price you're paying? Like the sticker prices. Like CarMax. CarMax. Dude, CarMax is... They're going to screw you on your trade-in. But as far as prices and cars go
Starting point is 01:05:26 they got it they got quite this selection they really do if i did go to i did go to auto nation that was number one and i did get them down from the one sticker price so i have that my yeah huge get this guy dco hat yeah so And that's the one I unfortunately missed out on. We'll see. I'm not in a rush. My car that I drive now is fine. I'm just ready to poultry. That's a good mindset.
Starting point is 01:05:57 That's a good mindset to be in. Once you have your heart set on a new whip, though, nothing's going to slow that down. You are getting a new car. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, and Sally, I looked over this weekend, and Sally's looking at new cars, and I'm just like, oh, great. Cool. Oh, that sounds like fun.
