all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from austin texas my name's will
to freeze to my left david r Will, I'm happy to be here.
I think you know that.
But I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I'm feeling a little bit left out
that I'm not out in the bullpen right now because a lot of people are saying it's a mood.
No.
Possibly a vibe.
No.
The amount of issues that I have with what's going on in the bullpen at this point.
I could get over this during the wintertime.
I could get over this during, like, those cold fall days.
I could understand it during the holidays when you want to cozy up and you want to feel cozy.
What's happening going, like, right now out there?
No.
What is it exactly?
The only issue I have with it is that it's not seasonal.
But I kind of like the vibe.
But since it's a snowy vibe, again, people don't know what we're talking about.
Maybe it's just my pedigree.
Maybe I'm just built different because of the Grand X days when you'd walk in in the morning.
You'd see Dan Rejester wearing a tank top.
He'd have his shorts rolled up so you could see his quads.
And what he would do is he would put on some you know edm music in the morning cue up
sharpie people would be just absolutely partying but what we have going on right now is we have
brett merriman and and he is on his chew grind and what he's doing is he is he's playing stock
jazz music on the youtube on the youtube with uh like a snowy background with like little like illustrations of
like coffee cups that are steaming also it's on our tv not on his laptop so it's just it's like
the first thing you see when you walk in it's just this big mood just lo-fi wintry jazz music
and it's a typewriter and honestly like this seems like something i would be into but i i just think
we need to hold ourselves to a higher standard.
Bro, it's sneaky Hemingway vibes.
No.
Hemingway would be listening to actual jazz music
by actual artists that people enjoy.
Like not Jet GPT composed jazz.
I feel like a man could get some thinking done
in a setting like that, actually.
I kind of vibe with it.
No, we need at least a little more energy or at least like a little more flavor here.
That's all I'm asking.
You know how it is with me, though, man.
The more I think, the more I drink.
Yeah.
I've been saying, man, I'm not drinking anymore.
But I also ain't drinking any less.
Man, ain't that the truth, though?
So you're just drinking the same amount that usually yeah
yeah yeah it's plateaued but yeah really nothing crazy dylan shivery ladies and gentlemen
hey i've been i've actually been a fan of the for you tab on twitter because i'm seeing things that
i um otherwise wouldn't obviously and some of them i'm into but over the last couple weeks it's turned into a major
um live leaky type of vibe i i'm looking at like shootings and like street fights and it's it's
really weird what's happened to my 4u tab i don't know how it went there it's chosen this content
for me it sounds similar to that other recommended tab of yours that's also a
leaky vibe um on instagram i'm talking about of course leaky vibe on instagram what like what
like plumbing like faucets and stuff no like leaky texas remember that one spooky season
it's leaky oh fuck everybody knows that it's leaky texas anyway um dude that's my instagram reels it's all
shitty street fight dude it's it's like watch watch this uh argument outside a bar turn into
a shooting okay then it's like three people laid out on the sidewalk it's like why is that
that's just popping up on twitter yes okay i i purposely i get personally aggrieved when i find
out that i've been scrolling the for you. I get mad.
I'm like, I don't want this.
So I've avoided that.
But no, my Instagram is more like guy talks little guy, some guy my size, like mouthing off to a bouncer.
Then he spits at him and the bouncer just like wrecks him.
He puts him in a coma.
Yeah.
It's unpleasant.
It is unpleasant i'd rather have what
you guys have than what my for you tab is looking like on twitter lately which is just like candles
and political arguments everywhere that's all it is and like i i don't i don't want it typewriter
i don't want it yeah i don't know man uh elon's gotta figure his shit out like he's losing me i
don't want i don't want Twitter for politics.
I want Twitter for really dumb tweets.
I want Twitter for arguments about candles and shit,
like whoever just said that.
That sounds lit.
Dude, you have to personally subscribe to Elon
for exclusive memes.
Exclusive memes.
We need to be careful.
We need to be careful.
You see the Twitter subscription thing?
You can...
It's like a paywall situation.
I haven't really looked into it.
I just know that they're saying
that Elon's going to post exclusive memes.
I don't need his shit.
Yeah, what I know about Twitter
is that any feature that they unroll currently
is probably not something
we're going to have to worry about long-term.
I feel like every day there's a new feature
or they've...
They need to bring Fleets back.
No.
Tell me, lad.
Fleets were the worst.
Fleets was so pointless.
Fleets.
You get it because they're fleeting?
You get a fleet fetish?
They're here and then they're gone.
They're fleeting.
Dude, Dave's trying to put a lot of horny on you today.
Oh, big fucking surprise.
Horny Dave.
I can't put horny on my buddy?
Get your horny off me, dog. You're my buddy. I can't put horny on my buddy get your horny off me dog you're my buddy i can't put horny on you we're putting on me let's put it on each other
i'm not gonna return the horniness i can return volley i forgot about fleets
yeah it made me want to unfollow people who were fleeting i didn't want to unfollow anyone that
was fleeting but i definitely lost respect when fleets started going down i was like uh you're too good for this you don't need to be
fleeting right now credit to twitter for pulling the plug on it at least i don't think i ever
looked at a fleet i mean i probably looked at one but i never had the compulsion to go just
press that little button yeah you want to know why because the idea of fleets is that you post
something that is like you know in the moment and quick and then you you keep scrolling you go by it and and that's the entire
basis of twitter i'm about to say twitter is a fast moving like it's it's very quick you see a
tweet and then it's gone so but now they've got the algorithm on twitter that's like the exact
same thing as like reels and stuff where you're just scrolling i don't do it the only thing i the
only thing i actually scroll like that is TikTok at this point.
And I hardly even use that.
That's a straight up sitting down in the bathroom move for me at this point.
Nothing.
TikTok, that's between me and the toilet.
I bet your TikTok is so horny.
No.
I think you'd be shocked.
I think you'd be shocked, but I don't think you'd be very shocked by what my TikTok is.
Soccer.
It's just like soccer,
people getting dressed and like fucking.
That's you.
Yeah.
I like those relaxing pages where they,
they have like industrial machines,
crushing stuff.
You guys ever go down these wormholes?
No.
Oh,
it's great.
It's just like,
it's just like an industrial like press and then they
put a bunch of skittles down there and suddenly you just see skittles getting crushed and it's
really satisfying to watch highly recommend randy knows what i'm talking about but randy watches like
ai tentacles get crushed it's weird it's much different he watches a different kind of crush
film you're just you're filth randy can can you can you speak to what i'm talking about randy have
you ever gone after that i'm not gonna come defend you that's understandable that's understandable
i take back the tentacle crush okay then yes it's like a big hydraulic press that has like
certain like holes in the middle i highly recommend ever seen them do like candles and
stuff like make candles or crush candles?
Crush candles.
Yeah, I see.
I'm really someone
who stands candles
and doesn't like them
seeing getting hurt.
So seeing them getting crushed
is kind of, you know,
painful for me.
He doesn't like to see
candles get hurt.
Wait till you get to
the industrial shredder
type stuff.
Really?
Damn.
Is that like,
did the guy from
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
sell out?
Is that the final boss? He got an actual job, stopped living in the subway yeah he's like i can't beat these
four turtles man i gotta find something else i gotta pivot now he's works for uh ernst and young
i don't know what the that is it's just a thing yeah i don't pretty big
yeah they were for tpc Shredder got in with Goldman.
Wealth Management.
It made him shave his beard, though.
You understand Shredder?
It's a good gig if you can get it.
Yeah, I know Shredder.
He was a scary fucker, wasn't he?
Yeah.
He was scary.
He'd shred you.
That was the thing about him.
I know.
I didn't fuck with him.
He killed Splinter.
Don't say that, man. The the big rat i don't know if there's one thing i don't
remember about the ninja turtles it's the logistics of everything yeah i think splinter
actually killed him who or tried to i don't know who who was friends with casey jones yes he was
the uh very unstable character who just walked around Central Park
or wherever they were with every piece of sports equipment.
He had a bag full of hockey stick, golf club, baseball bat,
probably the Dude Perfect slingshot, boomerangs,
and it was just his weapon of choice.
Whatever tickled his fancy that day.
Just a jock.
That's what he is.
He just had a little bit of everything.
Also, just kind of a Sting rip-off.
Maybe Sting was a rip-off of him.
But were they also doing a rip-off of Grateful Dead?
Casey Jones being the name?
A lot of moving parts here for the Ninja Turtles people.
I totally get that reference.
Let's talk about it.
It's one of their...
It's probably...
If you went to their Spotify right now, Dylan,
it would probably be in the top five most popular songs.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, they badassified him in their cartoons.
He was pretty tight.
But like in the movie, the original movie,
it was like, dude, this is just some guy.
This guy's got a hockey stick.
There's a way to beat this guy.
Yeah, why is Dan Cortez playing hockey
with a bunch of turtles right now?
He did look like Dan Cortez.
Before we
totally lose Dylan in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
talk, let's get some official
biz out of the way. I'm not going to read

They like it that much.
I'm going to local Austin establishments left and right.

what'd you get into this weekend? Thanks for asking, Will.
Pretty low-key weekend, actually.
Didn't do a ton.
I did go to Home Slice again.
Played the old Zah card.
At this point, do you even have a card?
On Friday.
You're kind of just living out there.
Did you get special clearance from the powers that be
in order to go use it since you were kind of on probation just missed that call hold on
yeah did you did you get any reports or any requests late on during the weekend didn't
actually that's fine i hope it was worth it was a good za did you enjoy it it's always a good
za at home slice man who's you're a man on the run right now.
I like it.
When you go there, do you get a full pie,
or are you just kind of doing your own slices?
Full pie.
What are you, from New York?
No one calls it a pie down here.
I feel like pie's in play.
It's a pie play.
I mean, it's the proper terminology,
but no one down here says pie.
What do you call it?
Unless you're from New York.
Just a pizza?
Pizza.
It's true.
It's a thing.
You're dodging the question.
Well, I got a caprese salad.
They do a fantastic one, believe it or not.
We don't care about that.
No offense.
And then Brittany and I shared a double pepperoni medium za.
Yeah.
It went hard.
Real hard.
About a 14-inch pie?
16?
What glass of wine? New York style. I don't know. 14? yeah it went hard real hard about 14 inch pie 16 what's the last one new york style
i don't know 14 it's a perfect pie for two people it is saturday big day actually i know i i said i
didn't do much that's kind of a lie parks had a soccer game they they took the another l
unfortunately but he had a blast okay and. Unnecessary. Saturday afternoon we went to the Texas football spring game.
Oh.
Got to see a little Arch in action.
How'd that go?
I watched some highlight tape on Twitter.
Dylan, the reason I texted you and asked you how he looked,
our mutual friend in another group text was talking about it.
He goes, yeah, I heard Arch sucked ass.
You know exactly what text was talking about he goes yeah i heard arch sucked ass you know yeah there's there's like some some twitter chatter about him not playing he's 17 they're already writing him off yeah he's he's literally 17 years old man uh he made a couple
nice throws but he's also running with like the third third string o-line anyway yeah he didn't
look great but again i think you'll have time to develop is that where
you got the sun is he supposed to still be in high school it was a sunny saturday yeah i did get some
sun out it was really really hot actually we didn't stay for the full game wait so him playing
against like cupcake teams all high school didn't prepare him well for college football at the age
of 17 i think it's a little early to write off this 17-year-old quarterback. No, no. I think we should just take his stock now.
He's supposed to still be in high school, believe it or not.
Anyway, we had a blast, man.
I had more fun than Parks.
He was really hot, complaining about being hot.
Do they sell beer at that kind of thing?
They do.
Nice.
You know what?
I didn't have any beers.
I had a water because it was really hot.
You know who I did see who had two beers in his hand as he was walking up the aisle was-
Quinn Ewers.
Killshot.
Killshot.
Oh, hell yeah.
He was too far away for me to shout him out.
I would like, everyone had to look at me like,
what are you doing, you weirdo?
Why do you yell Killshot across the crowd?
I watched him from a distance.
He was doing his thing, man.
He had two Carbock Love Streets just stacked up on top of each other.
He sold them frat style, you know?
Yeah, me and my brother were drinking Carbock.
Double stack with one hand. I saw he posted a photo and i wondered if y'all had
crossed paths i saw good yeah so shout out kill shot hopefully you hear this
uh sunday just chill man just mega chill didn't do much laid low
low-key weekend gotta give some love to carbock lager the mexican lager is very good
that's all okay even though i know it's a houston thing they're big astros proponents that's great
they make a good beer dude i i think carbock honestly pound for pound one of my favorite
breweries in in texas the fact that their most popular beer is the love street makes no sense
to me yeah i'm not a big Love Street guy.
Dude, I don't – I think overall it's seriously one of my favorites.
And I don't understand how that is their most popular beer.
Every time I get it, I'm like, I wish I would have gotten something else.
Everything else is better.
Yeah.
They do some things around the holidays, David.
Ooh-wee.
Yeah.
Imagine you're just out there in the bullpen.
You've got some jazz playing you got a typewriter and you just got a holiday edition car box sitting right there
next to your bing bong two two cups of espresso yeah someone's gonna someone's getting some work
done like they're writing a novel does brett just nap when we're out there when we're in here
recording and he's alone out there is he napping on the couch right now just listening to fucking lo-fi
jazz music this is probably his favorite time of day when we're all in here all together and he's
out there alone just yeah you know you guys sometimes i will come in here like i'll forget
to do something on like a weekend and i'll come in for like an hour on like a sunday morning to
just like do it it's easier to do it on this computer you would
be so much happier with what i'm doing in here with musically speaking than what brett's doing
in here right now you got some dead and i'm just letting it i'm letting it rip i might have anything
going dude you might walk in here you might see just van morrison like some vintage performance
rocking out by the way are you enjoying your new record player uh i am i am uh one of the speakers
unfortunately has broken uh which is not ideal.
But the company that I'm dealing with here has been nothing, nothing but understanding.
Ooh, that little crackle, you know, when that thing starts spinning.
When the needle hits.
Ooh.
Did you blow your speaker out?
Honestly, I don't know what happened.
Not sure.
I haven't really tested the actual volume of the speakers to its max yet.
And so it might have just been a faulty thing, but they're replacing it.
I'm happy about that, and I've been happy with everything.
You let Fritz get a hold of your Blink Dude Ranch album?
Did you guys catch Blink's performance at Coachella?
Dude, I somehow missed that.
No.
Did they sound okay?
Disliking Blink doesn't make you cool, Dylan.
Disliking Blink does not make you cool.
I won't put that out there.
They're very popular.
Hey.
I know.
Is it going to be the same set?
There's no way you could know the answer to this,
but do you think it'll be the same set as when they play here?
Dave, there's no way I would know the answer to that.
Because if not, if...
I'm going to watch.
Can I watch it?
They streamed it, right?
I could go watch it.
I believe it was one of their first, if not their first performance all back together
since, since everything at Coachella.
And from what I, from what I took away from that performance, we would be very happy with
that set list.
There's a, there's a couple, there's a couple songs that we can look at and say, Hey, these
are beers.
These are beer songs.
Let's go get a beer.
But overall, I think we're going to be very happy with how it goes.
They sounded good.
Good.
You know, as good as they do sound.
They're widely panned for being a little reckless
when they're playing live.
Maybe not knowing some parts of the songs.
That's okay.
It's bar chords mainly.
It all kind of sounds the same.
I would love to get Tom DeLonge on a podcast
that features a noted segment, The Space Bar,
with Dylan Chivary.
Oh, that'd be fun.
We could really turn the tide with you and Blink-182.
I'd become a Blink guy if I got to chop it up with him
about some space shit.
Our friends Jake and TC at the It's Just Banter podcast
turned me on to the Tom Stivo podcast.
Stivo had Tom on like a year ago.
Is it better than the Rogan performance?
It's much better.
The Rogan one is one of the most,
it's one of the worst pieces of audio ever.
It's saying a lot if I bailed on it
because I really like Tom.
But it's good.
It's Steve-O and they're talking aliens.
You get to find out what he thinks.
It's just bizarre.
You think they're out there, man?
Yeah, what are they?
Yeah, dude.
Steve-O.
Yeah, it's hard. That's something rad. Do you guys have any ultra rides this weekend? Yeah, dude. Steve-O. Yeah, darn.
That's something rad.
Do you guys have any ultra-rights this weekend?
Yeah, dude.
Or should I say how many ultra-rights did you have?
No, I've been sober for years.
Thank you for reading.
Yeah.
That's annoying.
That's an annoying voice for me to do.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, how many ultra-rights do you have this weekend, Dave?
I'm glad you asked, Will.
I didn't have any.
It turns out that I can't afford $20 per six-pack.
It wasn't in the budget. That's elitist beer, in my opinion.
Yeah, but can you really put a price on completely 100% woke-free beer?
Yeah, you can. Okay. All my life, I've searched for a beer that was both hard right and 100 woke free yeah and we found it
uh guys i'm just gonna get out ahead of it i teased this on twitter last night it was um
it was a very very taco filled weekend for uh your boy dave here i i ate a lot of talk i ate
a lot of tacos too david when i of tacos too, David. When I started counting
my tacos last night, when I saw your tweet, I'm excited to go. I'm excited to see how this pans
out. I'm not saying that I ate the most tacos, but here's what happened. And this is the best
part. All part of the same transaction. What? How? Let me tell you. neighbor nick hit me with this carnitas recipe and uh it may it may shock
you to learn that i've never actually made carnitas it's not a thing that i i had in the bag
however he sent me this uh recipe from a guy he's like a super you've probably heard of him he's a
food scientist type but he's got a good recipe you You get like a three pound pork shoulder. It's all done in the
oven. Then you boil it. You make your own tomatillo sauce with some of the, some of the liquid fat,
all that did it about a five hour deal. I was very proud of myself. Had a very productive Saturday,
had a couple of beers. Um, they were not ultra right. I don't really, I didn't look in,
I didn't research to see where the CEO had donated donated but um we'll do that later anyway um from about 5 45 on saturday until about 5 30 last night
24 hour period ish, roughly, estimate. People are saying that I had 12 carnitas tacos. Dinner, Saturday night.
Lunch, Sunday. Dinner, Sunday night. We are no longer in possession of the carnitas. It's gone.
So you had four tacos per set. I was going to say three meals, 12 tacos.
That's four per meal.
Correct.
Are these Little Johns?
I'm going to need Alyssa
to call in here.
I'm going to need Alyssa
to confirm this number.
Who's doing four tacos a meal?
Oh, that's because
they're not fully loaded.
Oh.
They're relatively street tacos.
Did you hear what he said?
I mean, that's what the recipe calls for.
Those look delightful. Those look like a taco day. Hey that's that's what the recipe calls look delightful
that's a good looking taco day i'm gonna share i i don't want those look delightful i don't like
being the guy who's like oh hey please try this recipe but i'm about to be i think it was it
turned out so much better than i thought i was like for sure like these were gonna be mid we're
gonna have to like put a bunch of sauce on them the carnitas by itself you don't even have to do
it like this are really good i was so happy
with it i was texting another group nobody cared but is your uh is your traeger back in biz no this
was all oven oh which is the dope thing wow shred it up you step you uh in like just a little oven
pan call you shredder dog for the first time i was at whole
foods asking where the tomatillos were you know where the tomatillos are over there you have to
husk them yeah i do for sure i didn't know i didn't realize what a tomatillo was
anyway i'm not sure i know what it is just peppers oh yeah it's like a tiny green tomato
yeah they look like little green tomatoes covered in leaves.
Oh, really?
Oh, yeah.
So good, though.
So good.
How about that?
So good.
Yeah, I did.
I just wanted you guys to be aware that I did have 12 of these.
And got to say, last night, started feeling it a little bit.
Like, maybe my body was like, yo, dude, you got to mix in something else. like like we like what you're doing that's cool that you you made this but a little variety because the tum-tum's
gonna flare up if you do anymore luckily we're out but i will be doing this again but i can't i
can't guarantee that i'll ever hit 12 again 12 is is just, it's a PR for me.
People forget that I ate 12 Jack in the Box tacos before a high school baseball game one time.
People also forget that you once ate 37 hard-boiled eggs
at Jason's Deli for lunch one day.
Yes.
I was witness to it.
I was witness to that.
Yeah, it was a wild day.
Those look delightful, Dave.
Thank you.
Those look pretty much right up the alley
of my perfect street taco.
SeriousEats.com is where the recipe comes from.
Yeah, that sounds pretty serious.
These eats?
Nah, dude.
I like my eats to be a little more joking.
Hilarious eats.
Banter filled.
What else did I do?
My son had commandeered the TV to watch.
He's back.
He's in on Bluey now.
He's on his Bluey bullshit, which is great.
So I just pretty much watched golf on my laptop.
I was going back between golf and playoffs.
And I was like, I don't even want to fight.
I'm not even going to like, he can do it.
I'm just in here.
Damn.
Yeah.
He did.
That's how it is.
He busted out the golf cart again, though,
that his grandparents bought him for Christmas or something.
Anyway, it was a fun weekend.
Didn't really get out much, but I had a good time.
Had a total of six beers.
Six beers, Dylan?
That's cool, man.
Yeah, six. Sixer. Yeah. 1999. six beers six beers dylan that's cool man yeah six sixer yeah 1999 1999 that's what's a keg cost keg well you'd have to ask brett but you won't get an actual
answer because brett gets discounts from his guy can get it at cost yeah yeah yeah what'd you do
if i was to tell if i was to ask you guys hey hey do you guys want to go to matzell rancho His guy can get it at cost. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What'd you do?
If I was to tell, if I was to ask you guys, hey, hey, do you guys want to go to Matt's El Rancho tonight?
It's Friday night, busy.
You anticipate that?
What time, what time would you say, all right, let's beat the rush completely.
Let's beat the rush.
How big should we go?
What time should we go?
5.15.
Before 5.30 5 30 and honestly like
5 15 i've got some bad news for people of austin texas the rules no longer apply no the rules no
longer apply um what we're dealing with here is on a scale that we've never seen before
the parking lot situation at matzah rancho has become a significant problem uh they they
simply can't handle the amount of cars that are there anymore and i think it's i think it's for
numerous reasons i think one not enough people are carpooling this doesn't just fall on the
establishment themselves this falls on everybody uh two uh they've cut off too much of the parking
lot for valet.
This is a symptom of just what Austin's becoming.
I don't know if every Tex-Mex spots needs a valet.
I don't know if that's necessary.
I also don't know if you need to cut off that much.
Maybe just say the valet's full.
Their parking lot is tricky, especially if you go at the wrong time. If you were trying to park your car at 5.22 p.m.,
meanwhile, you've already dropped the people off in your car
to go get a table.
You've already sent them in.
I know this move.
5.22, not happening.
Not happening.
You're either parking on the grass
or you have to park across the street next to a Sonic
where your car might get broken into
because you might have some golf clubs in there.
No place hops like Sonic.
Dude, terrible.
Terrible.
Just wanted to put that out there. That's a PSA forsa for anyone out there you gotta get there before five o'clock also not talked about enough uh they have a number of spots that are way too
tiny like they're they have a number of like compact they're not labeled that whole section
back there is for like not even compact cars like for golf carts almost i can usually fit my car
into any parking spot the only time that i can usually fit my car into any
parking spot the only time that i can't do it is when one someone parks like a dumbass or two uh
someone decides to bring their ford f-350 extended cab to the to the parking lot and then park like
an absolute asshole someone's got their h2 you know i can fit i can fit my car in pretty much
any parking spot there but it's going to be. You might have to go climb through the passenger side
to get into the driver's side at some point.
Just putting it out there.
It's tough, dude.
It's tough.
So did you find a spot?
I parked across the street from said Sonic.
Oh, my God.
Dude, how beaten were you?
Did you think about bailing?
I've never done that there ever like dude
i've always found a spot i've always well i've sometimes i've had a circle for a few minutes but
there was a whole community of drifters with me just walking from different locations around
south lamar just walking with me to the restaurant how long was the wait i talked to a nice young
lady well they told us it was going to be about 20 to 30 minutes. An hour later, we got sat down. They have
a traffic problem. How big was your group?
Four adults,
three kids.
Thought 515 was the number, man.
But we will endure.
Had a great meal there when it was
all said and done. Shout out to Dylan
Chivary for putting this on my radar, but I
did, in fact eat
some shrimp enchiladas with some suiza sauce they used to call that the dylan when i would roll in
there he did he doesn't get that as much these days because he gets things poncho yeah i'm on
poncho style shit right now uh i also went back yesterday with noted uh friend of the podcast
michael weiner um we went there a waitress came to our table with a bunch of food we had yet to
order our entrees and she started to say like who had this i look over and i said oh someone hit him with the
poncho style she looked over at me like yeah they did that's a good that's a good call out man yeah
i'm proud of you yeah i was teaching you guys so yeah i went to mats twice this weekend that's
really all i did uh saturday uh it was it was a day um a lot
of people were asking will we know that you ate at a seafood restaurant did you get a seafood tower
no i got vetoed but you know what i did do i had my first cheeseburger since going pescatarian
and i'm happy to report to everybody i fucking miss him it's hard to beat a cheeseburger. I ain't going to be avoiding them.
I ain't eating any more, but I ain't eating any less.
Cheeseburgers are...
They're kind of perfect.
I also have a take on the very thin fries, Dylan.
Ooh.
I think they have a place in time once every year.
And I think I got it out of my system,
but I was enjoying them the other day.
I was just piling those things into my mouth.
They taste good.
Yeah, they do.
They're just so fucking hard to eat.
It's the rosemary.
The rosemary is delightful on them.
The rosemary that's mixed in
with the,
that's a nice touch.
You either gotta like,
you know,
pile them together
like a bunch of sticks
and pick them up
with your fist.
That's what I was doing.
Or you gotta use a fork
or something.
Your boy was fisting them.
Hell yeah,
fist those zaddies. I miss the good old i'm getting vetoed meant your nephew like put like a cherry
bomb in the toilet you were using for his prank show oh don't you're talking don veto yeah you're
like your nephew like told you he was gonna get you a massage but really it was a tattoo parlor
and you end up with like a wiener on your back or something like okay yeah that's good i know i used to feel bad for don vito when he would get dunked on but
then once we found out he was like on aim with like not the best guy not a great look some younger
people humans of that nature some younger that's a nice way of putting it some younger people yeah yeah i didn't
do shit i just ate a bunch of tacos like my man dave dave did snipe me though i i i came up with
my taco number it was eight but i was eating tinier tacos probably also corn tortillas for
the record i was just i was you know your boy's a bottomless pit this weekend.
Did you pack a lunch for work today?
You got finished at all.
You got four more in there?
Why didn't you hit us with the gift of carnitas, dude?
I will.
I will do that, I promise.
I will make more carnitas.
I'm going to do it again.
I'll fucking do it again.
I get it.
The fact that you ate it all, the fact that you ate it all makes me happy.
But if you ever make gumbo again and I see it showing up on people's doorsteps,
I'm going to feel personally slighted.
Yeah, the gumbo, gumbo is kind of difficult.
You know what's not difficult?
Making the decision to put your health first.
And we've all done that using Nutrafol.
You don't have to choose between better hair and better health.
There's a holistic solution for men that promotes both healthier hair
and whole body wellness.
Of course, I'm talking about one of our favorite sponsors, Nutrafol.
Nutrafol is the number one dermatologist-recommended hair growth supplement clinically shown to
improve your hair growth, thickness, and visible scalp coverage.
Nutrafol's hair growth nutraceuticals, they go beyond genetics, and they multi-target
the root causes of thinning hair, which include, but are not limited to, stress, hormones,
nutrition, metabolism, aging,
and even lifestyle through whole body health.
I'm a big Nutrafol guy.
I've been taking it now for probably four or five months in a row.
Honestly, I think you're underselling how long you've been taking it for.
Noticeable difference in my hair.
And honestly, just how I feel.
It makes me even feel better. The wife has noticed the hair thickening. And I feel it makes me even feel better the wife has noticed the hair
thickening and I feel really great about it I will continue to take it there might be someone out
there they're like zoinks Scooby he's already seeing results in four months that's a very
specific person yeah yeah it was shaggy who's shaggy that's why his hair is so shaggy shaggy this is shaggy from
scooby-doo not shaggy from it wasn't right right yeah that one um but yeah like i said dylan like
in the clinical study men show progressive improvement in hair growth in and thickness
after three and six months so this makes sense yeah yeah last time i went to the dermatologist
um i saw they had this they were selling neutrophil
dermatologists they love it i've told you an uptick in the libido as well which like i'm
i'm sharing personal anecdotes here to no i'm not going to get full in an anecdote but right
we get it yeah we can draw it does it does uh help there as well if that's something that you desire
It does help there as well.
If that's something that you desire.
I'm just saying.
Just putting it out there.
If you're into that.
It comes with bonus libido is what I'm saying.
Sprinkle a little bonus libido on there.
Don't mind if I do.
Hey.
Like Dave said to his dermatologist office, and if it's at his, I know that it's at mine as well.

season four, episode four, called Honeymoon States. I had some concerns about how this episode
would follow up on one of the more shocking episodes we've ever seen of Succession. If you
are a Succession person, you haven't watched the episode yet go to our notes in this description
of the episode and uh move forward yeah i was wondering if this episode was going to be
just about you know the the the sad passing of of logan and and you know funeral kind of stuff
but they i mean there was obviously they're at his wake but they got straight into business as well which you kind of love to see from that family oh yeah i thought this was this
was good i i also had reservations or just thoughts like okay this might be like kind of a
maybe they'll do like a meta episode or a concept episode where it's just kendall like
and it started out like that and then uh you quickly get the uh vacuum
dylan loves a bottle a bottle episode if you will dylan might quit watching the show if that happens
i did get back on my lasso shit for the record damn they roped you back in yeah the power vacuum
that's good lasso roped you back in i get it i get. That's good. Lasso roped you back in.
I get it.
I get it.
That's good.
Logan had to die for this season to go from good to great.
I still maintain that maybe Logan should have died a season ago.
Because this is what we've been waiting for.
We've been waiting to actually see things in motion.
At least they did it episode three of a 10 season final season 10 episode final season
here's the thing sorry are we i'm not satisfied i'm not satisfied i've got six epis left i know
but like they're still just they're still just kind of teasing us by by doing anointing two
people right now i get that's kind of what they had to do in order
to you know allow this intrigue to keep going but like i want to see the origin story of whoever is
about to go like absolutely nuclear yeah but this is an interim role so uh you know there's still
like there's still a ceo to be named they should have i think i think it would have been more
entertaining had they made the interim person be someone that these three can still gun for the There's still a CEO to be named. They should have... I think it would have been more entertaining
had they made the interim person be someone
that these three can still gun for the entire time.
I want it to be Frank or something.
Don't underestimate these writers.
Why do I like Frank so much?
And their ability to pull it all together.
I like every single one of the people that is in the C-suite.
I think they're all entertaining in their own respect
because they're all just corporate assholes
who are fending for themselves. It's's great when tom threw his name in the ring
and then was it uh which one was it who was like well if someone were to
to say why you shouldn't be named ceo this might be it was it carl i think it was carl dude you
know what he did absolutely eviscerated tom you know the first thing i thought of when he did that was uh like one of the final love island challenges where shack told ron what the
public might say yeah why he and uh then after anna that's good though it's good it's a good
framing i like that after carl just completely just torpedoed him tom tom just goes jesus carl tom tom's in the heart locker if i'm
tom in that situation though i'm looking at him and i'm being like yeah well you've worked your
ass off for the last 40 years for this country or for this uh company and all i had to do was
you know marry shiv and i'm kind of in the same running as you are right now so you can fuck off also shiv is pregnant yes sorry yeah yeah in real life as well
during this she had it already though right oh yeah they filmed this while ago yeah she yeah
she was pregnant irl and in the story of the show so tom has no clue right right right okay and she clearly is doesn't know how she feels about it yet
she's she didn't receive that news very warmly she didn't receive anything warmly during
yesterday's episode she's yeah she's going through it um what do we think about the little addendum, the document at issue
that we never really got a full accounting for?
It looked like there might have been some tomfoolery maybe going to go down,
but I don't think they did anything.
Made me wonder, and I don't think this is the case,
but remember when Tom told Greg, he goes,
Logan's got this place wired up like there's cameras in
every room wonder if that could come back into play i don't think about that maybe they could
go back not that i think tom was fucking with greg i think it's possible someone other than
logan doctored that or made the markings on it well the way they reacted to it the way carl
they were all kind of like carl and frank like yeah if i'm kendall i'm walking
into that room i'm grabbing that piece of paper and i'm saying all right i'll see you guys later
you'll hear from my lawyers i'm gonna be the ceo in the next like week yeah fuck y'all find
something more current than this i'm ceo dude i'm kind of stoked that him and stewie are potentially
back we needed more we've i've always been in the camp that we need more stewie in this show
like whenever stewie's there shit starts moving and shit starts getting hot and fun potentially back. We needed more. I've always been in the camp that we need more Stewie in this show.
Stewie's tight.
Like whenever Stewie's there,
shit starts moving and shit starts getting hot and fun.
Stewie's like the one guy
I want to hang out with
in this show.
I think Stewie makes Kendall
a much,
Kendall's already for me
one of the best characters
not just in the show
but just in television
in general for me.
When Stewie's in the mix,
Kendall becomes a different person
and that's a great thing.
He's so much more fun
when Stewie's around.
Yeah.
Yeah.
His name's Stewie.
Yeah, he's kind of great.
We've got to talk about Marsha and Carrie a bit.
And Willa, actually.
Willa's comments to Marsha were pretty great.
Marsha, first of all, where has she been?
That's what everyone's been wondering.
Just on the phone with Logan. They had made
a comment earlier in the season that
she'd kind of been, like, haven't heard
from her in a while. Okay.
On the phone with Logan. Of course, maybe you can verify
that with call logs, right? But that
sounded like it was a bullshit. Like, she was just
making that up to be like, no, I'm actually still
very much a part of his life. Yeah, she's trying to get
that bag. Yeah. Now it sounds like she's getting about 60.3 million dollars or whatever
she's getting didn't take kindly to carrie i've always viewed her as a potential existential
threat to logan and in the family and i it just always seems like there was something
something she was up to like she was smart she handled her business um but then when carrie comes
in the carrie scene i that was sad that was sad she got she got poured out right there in front
of everybody i would have felt worse for her if she didn't suck but unfortunately she sucks
literally yeah she she wants she wants the bag you got no right to it she says that
that bag i'm saying like check with the lawyers and logan may have said yeah
i think there's he amended that will that's a hail mary probably not that's a hail mary saying
can you talk to the lawyers yeah i got news if there were some some papers up there in that
office that said you you know, explicitly stated
what he wished would happen,
they're gone if they in any way benefited Kerry.
Because Marsh is not letting that shit happen.
Roman being appointed whatever,
what are we calling this?
Co-CEO?
Co-CEO.
Yeah, he's the CEO.
Roman getting the nod here,
either of them getting the nod is ridiculous.
But like Roman should not be getting, he should not be getting this treatment. roman roman getting the nod here either of them getting the nod is ridiculous but like roman
should not be getting he should not be getting this treatment who's got who looks better on paper
for ceo roman or kendall because we know kendall everybody knows kendall's baggage they don't know
the public doesn't obviously know about the uh uh the dude who died but like his his rehab and drug problems and stuff i don't know
i i don't think roman's built for it no i think robin roman deep down is like a
kind of a softy and i don't i don't i think i mean all of his like stuff is rooted from
insecurity whereas kendall i think is as we're gonna find out i think is i think if i think if i actually had to give like an actual take here i would just probably offer that none
of them are ready for it but i just simply want kendall this is like me talking about casey and
love island i might not think that casey's the best person but i still want i still want him in
the mix so i can laugh that's how i feel about kendall yeah like kendall kendall should not be
ceo of any company let alone like one of
the biggest media conglomerates in the world it's a disaster but like at the same time that's exactly
who i want it to be i thought shiv should have fought a little harder to be like no i'll be the
i'll be the other person it's like she was okay roman she should have been i think yeah they are
right like she really hasn't had much to do with the company at all.
And she's always been the person who's been most visibly maybe out.
She's always been working with those politicians.
She's always been doing that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
Connor just making an offer on the house.
Like during the wake to Marsha, who I guess Marsha gets the house.
Are we still doing, yeah.
Are we still doing spit
spit shakes i don't know you said you're only doing spit roasts these days right
63 mil it's a lot it's not legally binding is it a spit handshake probably not dave you're the
lawyer you tell me that's how i'm gonna start greeting you i'm not gonna shake you back
but then the marsha and
willa exchange was also funny she's oh look at you now that you've married a long way look at us
good for willow great comeback good for willow i'm pumped for willow yeah she's in uh pumped for her
she's in high spirits their honeymoon is is him campaigning throughout like swing states or
whatever that's i was so depressing that's the most depressing part of the entire episode i really enjoyed when uh when they were talking about maybe
potentially slandering logan's name in order to uh get some juice behind kendall and roman
and the scene ended right before the scene ended like you just had kendall go uh yeah maybe uh
because we're like we're at my dad's wake, maybe we shouldn't shit all over my dad.
Like, yeah, but...
But then he went straight back to Hugo and said, go, go do it.
Dude, Hugo...
Hugo's a really good character, but...
Dude, Logan would...
Hugo's trash.
Logan would want him to do this, right?
Yeah, that was his justification, and I think that's right logan wants the stock
price of his company high even from the afterlife yeah he i think he would want this and that's what
that's what i hope they do hugen was his daughter that was the insider trading yeah juliet why would
you tell him that in that scenario i don't know why he told him has anybody ever okay never mind
just the way he had
that conversation with his daughter at the beginning it's like dude you didn't have to put
it in those terms didn't he say you you effed me in the a with a strap on yeah it's like you don't
have to get that specific hopefully he wasn't talking i guess was he talking to his daughter
when yeah i think so it's terrible There's another way to go about that.
Like the last part,
you don't really need to emphasize with that.
Like the point's been made.
And Tom just trying to latch on to anyone he could.
I'm here to serve.
Everyone.
Tom's journey going forward will be very fun to watch.
They're soft for ending the season.
Or ending the show after this season.
We need more.
I need more than just one season
of having someone as an actual successor.
And we're not going to get that.
Is there any chance for a spinoff?
I was just thinking.
A spinoff would just feel,
it would feel grosser to me.
I might be into a Like a spinoff would just feel, it would feel grosser to me. I might be into a Connor political spinoff.
What if they do like,
what if they have a spinoff where like Roman is the CEO
and they call it like Roman Empire?
Oh, that's good.
That's pretty good.
And then suddenly like it's just him.
Because they know Kendall's got other ambitions.
He's like such a method actor at this point. They're they're like yeah we can't get him to keep doing this show
that dad would want it that way yeah yeah yeah did you notice the uh the political guy the guy that
that was speaking when connor was watching and called him like a neocon or whatever
did you recognize him the guy with the glasses that was given that like toast yeah of course okay yeah he's in uh he's in office space he plays what's his face
basement guy yeah milton or something yeah that's him that guy that guy pops up in hbo stuff yeah
he's made a nice little career he took my stapler that guy dude you crushed that that's good dude you crushed
that dude i know i'm really good at that check us out on the stream room did you guys hear about uh
papa escobar's cocaine hippo man i was hoping that was an ad read hey um i forgot to mention
we can talk cocaine hippo here in a sec i I know the body dropped in Austin that we might need to touch on.
We don't need to detail.
Honestly, I'm good right now.
You don't want to talk about the serial killer?
We don't know that.
Speculation.
Also, yeah, let's talk about the hippo instead for now,
instead of the dead body.
I'm concerned.
Although this hippo, I will say, this hippo doesn't have a happy ending,
but hippos in general make me happy. So how does this hippo, I will say, this hippo doesn't have a happy ending, but hippos in general make me happy.
So how does this hippo do cocaine?
It doesn't do cocaine.
Its nostrils are kind of on the top of its little snout.
You got to salt bay it into its little nostril.
It's a very dangerous job.
You guys are familiar with Escobar's hippos, correct?
That's a very well-known thing.
He brought a bunch of hippos to Colombia, and now they have a hippo problem in Colombia. It's an invasive species there.
Well, apparently a hippopotamus, per NBC News, a hippopotamus descended from animals
illegally brought to Colombia by the late drug kingpin Pablo Escobar died in a collision with
an SUV on a highway near Escobar's Hacienda. You guys ever looked up where he spent the last years
of his life? No.
Pretty swag spot.
If you're calling your house a hacienda, it's got to be kind of dope.
Yeah, I mean, he had like a soccer field there and shit.
Just fucking chill-ass little vacation spot.
What's that place in Tulum that you can rent out?
It was one of his old vacation houses.
I don't know.
What are you talking about?
I don't know.
I always avoided Tulum whenever people talked about it.
It's like you can rent out.
You can go stay in Escobar's old house in Tulum it's like oh sounds kind of cool actually yeah yeah yeah that's fine until like you start like taking edible and then you think you're
haunted yeah you take what you take one single early bird and then you start being like huh i'm
in mexico i'm staying at the x house of a drug king pin should i not be here i know you're gonna
try to find some bang bang from someone on the beach?
No.
No.
If anything, I'm hoping that I don't have some dude dressed in all black fatigues drop
in on a rope and have night vision on.
It's been a while since he's lived there.
I think you're probably safe from that kind of stuff.
A dude dressed like our guy Raf from Texas Dives?
Dude, exactly.
Exactly. That's the kind of guy i
want in my dive bar you know yeah she's not i don't want me in my dive bar no look if you walk
into my establishment i'm doing something wrong no offense am i kind of surprised that how fast
does an suv have to be going in order to kill a hippo that suv is probably jacked up too because
a hippo as as most people know it's a very large animal like a chevy with a lift kit oh maybe
maybe a dually could have been a dually sure i mean most suvs are not duallys those are trucks
pickup truck maybe it just had a camper and the person who wrote this story was mistaken
what do they do with all the cocaine inside of the hippo after it gets hit does it just
like poof everywhere and like settle in the street
so sound like cocaine it's gonna be tough to dispose of a dead hippo
can you eat hippo meat yeah i don't know i don't know i'm sure someone's tried it but i
so well the first thing that comes up isn't whether or not you can eat hippo.
It's can you eat hippo during Lent?
That's a good question.
Okay.
What's the answer?
I mean, I don't know.
Despite their bulky bodies, they have strong prey, drive, and easily hunt.
I don't know what that sentence means.
So people often wonder what might be the taste like,
but hippos are commonly eaten in West africa and sold as an expensive delicacy
across northeastern congo which is why they're oh i know i'm thinking about right now never mind
that's a lot of meat hippos are very large yeah apparently it tastes uh is mild less than lamb
but more than beef and is slightly more marbled than usual
venison sounds good circling back more than beef i would i would i would try hippo one single time
yeah what's the weirdest meat you've ever eaten uh snake probably
oh yeah i've had rattlesnake at a brazilian steakhouse in denver
i don't know what the most random meat that i've ever had is i had ostrich once is that weird yeah
it's a bird though you know bird doesn't seem as weird to me it's a flightless bird
like birds eating a bird is i feel like like all birds are generally the same thing to eat.
I get what you're saying.
But I also ate mine at a Mongolian barbecue in a strip mall.
Was it Tan's?
And so you could, it was, no,
but I think it was something very similar.
Tan's Mongolian Grill?
And so I don't even, like you could tell me it wasn't even ostrich
and they just had the the the claim there i've had quail but the most most random meat i've had
had to have been on spring break when i had rattlesnake i ate rattlesnake once
that's all it was in destin destin edge hasten areas i thought
you were doing a bit i did too you didn't eat rattlesnake it's rattling it's rattling when
you don't when you don't do a bit when we think you're doing a bit you didn't go on spring break
and eat rattlesnake you don't know my friend's story we're adventurists what was the restaurant
uh marty's mart you ate a snake at marty's
marty's has really good yeah i heard they have really good yeah you ate taco bell and what a
burger marty's uh southern smokehouse is what it was called and they had smoked rattlesnake
i'm gonna look this place up sounds good it came with a nice au jus what is it called marty's what
southern smokehouse i've heard of that it's closed now though oh really Nice au jus. What is it called? Marty's what? Southern Smokehouse.
I've heard of that.
It's closed now, though.
Oh, really?
Yeah, this is like you have to realize I'm old, not quite as old as some, but I'm very old. They didn't even want cancel culture coming after them, so they removed all the information about themselves off the internet just in case.
They did.
There's a Marty's barbecue in North Carolina.
I don't think that's the one.
You got that T-shirt, right?
I remember you lost that T-shirt. Yeah. But it said said i ate the rattlesnake at marty's yeah oh okay was i there
no you weren't there we went we went together once and we not really but we were in the same
we didn't end up at the same bar and i hazed you you did not like hard hazing i didn't haze you
technically hazing but
you did direct me to do something i didn't haze you. Technically hazing, but you did direct me to do something.
I didn't haze you hard enough.
Look how you turned out.
Y'all are about to suck for y'all.
Yeah, you were right, turns out.
Didn't you make Dave mow the lawn covered in baby oil?
I just made him.
He got very burned that day.
I made him bring me $67 worth of Taco Cabana one night.
That was somebody else and uh
and i didn't pay him back that was somebody else like two in the morning it was sick yeah
somehow i didn't know i even know who that was that did that and like i've never even met this
person i just know i just know enough about the inner workings of y'all's fraternity at this
point all i did was eat one taco and i threw the rest away right in front of his face.
I'd probably go into that garbage
and take those tacos out
if I'm being honest.
Try to think what other
like weird meat I've had.
Quail.
What?
Quail's not weird, is it?
You thought that's where I was going.
Yeah, quail's not weird.
Like that's normal.
It's not, but like
I had quail made into like
we shot quail and they made it into like breakfast sausage patties.
And it was fine.
I was like, a lot of work for this.
Quail and dove don't do much for me.
Dove, yeah.
I've never met a big dove guy.
This doesn't taste good.
I just couldn't get over the crying that the doves did
before you killed them and ate them.
The fact that they can make chocolate
out of those birds?
I've never understood that.
Like, what part of the bird did that come from?
Hey, I don't know if we want to know the answer to that, right?
Also soap, right?
Is it poop?
What?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Dove soap?
It's what we call the brand name.
Yeah, I think the soap's the brand name but yeah the chocolates are just made from the bird oh i guess i didn't realize that sorry yeah so i didn't understand
what you're doing there okay oh it was a nice weather weekend boys yes it was i agree it was
some concerns i had some concerns it was a little a little drizzly
earlier in the in the weekend maybe early friday but me personally i love when the weather starts
to warm up get in the yard digging in the garden it's one of the best parts of spring and sunday
lawn care they make it easier than ever to enjoy sunday is everything you need to get the lawn that you've dreamed of. I got my
Sunday lawn box in a couple of weeks ago, and I didn't mention this during my weekend and fun,
but yesterday got out one of the bags. It has the nitrogen, the molasses. It's their lawn care
pouch. Pop the hose in, do the mist, went out, sprayed the front yard.
It's going to make it look nice and lush.
It's very, very easy.
They give you easy, like very explicit directions on when to do it, what to do.
And they even ask for like a soil test.
They'll send you something.
You can just send them your soil.
Now we're talking.
They'll be like, oh, dude, you need to be doing this, this, and this.
And then they'll send you the stuff.
It's very, very helpful.

That's 20% off your custom plan at getsunday.com slash steam can we talk burritos for a second
yeah i would love that what's going on in the burrito world what happened i missed it um
sometimes when you order a food from a, you can leave special instructions, right?
You know, if you want something done, oh, tomatoes on the side or whatever, you can do that.
In turn, we've been notified about a receipt that details an order, a steak burrito order.
Randy, if you may.
Got ourselves a steak burrito.
Okay.
Add the good stuff.
Not sure what that is.
Can go a lot of different directions with that.
White rice.
They chose one scoop of steak for their protein.
They add the good stuff again.
Pico de gallo, shredded cheese, romaine, sour cream.
Special instructions.
Now, this is where we really get interesting.
I'm going to read this.
Extra cheese, in all caps, to you, hardworking guac shop cheese technician.
I say this.
There are two kinds of people in this world.
kinds of people in this world. People who take from us and whom consume our energies and people who come into our lives and leave a positive impact. That is you. Please leave as much
shredded cheese as humanly possible inside of this burrito so that I may go quietly into the night
with serotonin and dopamine levels that only pharmaceutical medications can rival.
and dopamine levels that only pharmaceutical medications can rival.
That's a lot of cheese.
How many scoops of cheese is that?
What kind of dopamine bump are you getting from that?
I've never gotten a dopamine bump from cheese.
Really?
I do like cheese a lot.
You can over-cheese, though, very easily.
It sounds like we might be in danger of over-chees there's an over cheese situation going on i never have faith that when i actually put
in like handwritten notes and by handwritten i just mean like the custom notes and these things
i never have any faith that they're actually going to read those and actually accomplish them
so i don't do it is that unjust should i have more faith in the the people reading these receipts
probably so i just assume that like if
they see that like there's a decent chance they're just going to gloss over it and be like eh it's
delivered to them does it like they're not going to they're not going to actually complain about
this just just say extra cheese you'll probably get the same amount i was going to give you anyway
yeah can't this guy just pay for like four servings of extra cheese randy i can help you
out here jimmy johns we probably miss these special instructions like that like 40 of the
time so that's that's a lot something big like this like you'd probably miss these special instructions like that 40% of the time. That's a lot.
Something big like this, you'd probably see.
But if it says cut in half in the special instructions
and not where it's supposed to say cut in half,
we'll probably miss that all the time.
Yeah.
And that's not me slighting the workers.
That's more me just thinking,
you're just grabbing receipts and going.
So if there's some special note on it,
I just assume you're probably going to miss it more times than not.
Why upset myself?
This is too much cheese.
Yeah, I'm trying to think where this much cheese would be acceptable.
I mean, this is a burrito, right?
So it's wrapped up in theory.
You're going to take that first bite, and it's just going to pour out.
It's just a lot of cheese.
But is this the only way he can eat his burrito?
That's the question.
That's the question.
Dylan, what?
You look perplexed.
No, I just.
That's a lot of effort to craft a personal or additional instruction, you know?
Was this guy high?
Yes.
Was he smoking?
He got two of these, by the way.
He got two of these, by the way.
This guy was on some sticky shit.
I know I noticed that.
He didn't just want one.
He wants two of these burritos with all the cheese in it.
Maybe the other one was for his lover.
That's too much gas.
Dude, if you and your lover are eating this much cheese before going to bed,
I got news for you.
Those covers are going to smell like toots in the morning.
I want to know where this is from.
You know, it's hard to say.
I assume that the good stuff is something that actually is, like,
something that they say on the menu for this restaurant.
Got to be.
Yeah, it got to be.
Every item has the good stuff added to it.
Because that's just too much good stuff.
There's so much good stuff, and it's just too random. So, yeah, it's stuff added to it. Because that's just too much good stuff. There's so much good stuff and it's just too random.
So yeah, it's truly hard to say.
Maybe they were making this for Kenny Chesney.
Ooh, there's the good stuff cold and there's the good stuff hot.
You see, if you notice on the...
Which one do you prefer?
I don't know what the good stuff is.
But if you had to choose one, hot or cold?
Cold.
Cold what?
Cold good stuff right okay i don't have anything more here but no i don't do that i hoped i hope that this guy got
the uh the amount of shredded cheese that he needed in order to enjoy his uh his mexican food
it conveniently cuts off i i get maybe he didn't want to uh disclose his credit card information
but i would like to know if this man tipped and what what amount he tipped because you know
that's another thing that's a good point if you make a request like this you better be prepared
to tip if you're making me read a restaurant or I'm at an establishment that I
think should have a tip screen when they don't now. And I'm like, wait, wait, wait. I feel kind
of bad that you're not getting, you're not getting the tips that you should be getting. You know,
that if you just work at this similar place down the street, you could probably be getting tips
because they actually have that, that system with ipad yeah have you experienced this yeah or the place that has the tip jar but not the and you're like
dude like i can't nobody's cashless society do you take bitcoin break you off a little sprinkle
some coinage
i thought you're gonna have something to say no i don't no i don't sorry don't can't
get past is the good stuff over here yeah i do kind of want to know what the good stuff is
before we uh convene today can we talk about our good friend billy mcfarland
dylan you were writing him letters while he was in prison and i know that the relationship that
you two grew from that is something that you'll never be able to forget.
Yeah.
Basically, the gist of what I was sending him was like, I still believe in you.
Don't let the haters get at you.
And if there's a Fyre Fest 2, you can expect me to be there with bells on.
You showed me one of the letters that just said, let me be your next Ja Rule.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm not expecting him to partner with me as I don't as I don't
know if I have a lot to bring to the table influence in that regard but um you can you
can count on me being there you think that would be a downgrade because I mean wasn't he
Amrata Amrata Kendall Jenner and one of the Jenners but now he's just Dorn. Don't forget Jaw. Jaw, too.
Yeah.
But Emrata, that was peak Emrata.
Are you saying I'm not at the level that Emrata's at
when it comes to influencing?
She's just got a little bit more clout than you.
Not by a lot.
I don't think she has a tweet that went as viral as your Deez Nuts tweet.
Probably not.
But I think just based on her Instagram performance,
I think she's got a little bit more juice. we're getting a fire fest too he is tweeted fire festival
two is finally happening tell me why you should be invited this was about a week ago um
should we go and uh why should we be invited i if if we got invited i would be in favor of going because it's kind of like when when chipotle
has an e coli outbreak the best time to go is immediately after because you know they're like
they got their shit together like all right we can't we can't keep giving our customers diarrhea we have to do everything by the book we cannot
screw this up so you know this is like his last chance there's no way he's gonna fuck it up again
right he can't botch it nearly as bad as last time it's like when they say like don't get the
romaine lettuce at the grocery store everyone's getting diarrhea and no one can leave their
houses that's when you go get it because you know that they're taking the bad stuff off the shelves right then so you
don't have to worry about it you just gotta throw yourself back in it's the best time yeah so i i
think with that in mind yes i would go will i get invited probably not i feel like we could get an
invite i feel like we can figure this out if we need social numbers we can leverage the scaries
account in order to get an invite for the squad that's that is going to happen you're gonna you're
gonna go to this through scaries like billy like the dms are open all right if you if you get a
free ticket free access are you going you have to you know what would depend dude the coverage like the the content you create needs to see the lineup
yeah i don't know it depends on the lineup man i don't need to remember blink was supposed to be on
firefest one a lot of bands backed out of firefest one when they realized it was all sham when they
saw that sandwich the sandwich is what did them in the living conditions there's never been a time
quite like when the picture of that sandwich first hit Twitter
and we all started just looking around like, oh, this could be good.
This could be good.
It was an all-time Twitter day.
It was a fun day.
There were certain days in the bullpen at Grand X where you just knew that things were
going to be good that day in terms of content.
And that was a day that was up there with the demise of Vine and stuff like that.
There was just
something palpable going on it might be a mount rushmore twitter day and i don't i don't i know
that's a major thing that i just said but no no no i i think i agree with you what does anything
else jump out as a mount rushmore twitter day because i i agree this is there the vine day was
really big vine day was fun because everybody was just that was like more of like a that was like a that was like a happy funeral yeah vine deck yeah somebody likes break the
site because they embedded like 40 vines on like a column it was kurt yeah i did all the best vines
and uh yeah it's a good call and it it it you couldn't load the column because i did so many
embeds the the bandwidth wasn't there. The servers literally were.
Micah must have taken the day off because the servers were not iced down.
Were not iced down.
Oh, man, that's a good question.
I'd like to think about that.
We've done a segment on this before, I think.
Probably have.
Probably have.
At least once every two months, like, something will pop up.
You're like, dude, that was such a fun day at the office.
We've also done a segment on um like
events throughout history that twitter wasn't around for that would have been huge like
oj evading the police for example that would have been a mega a mega day jt jt uh
a halftime show with uh janet jackson would have been an outrageous time to be on twitter
twitter not around i don't remember what year that was.
It was like 2004, 2005.
Oh, yeah, that was about that.
Yeah, dog.
I was talking on MSN Messenger to baddies left and right.
He was talking to baddies.
You see that ish?
Dylan was writing letters to baddies.
Missed it completely.
All right, man.
Good stuff.
Power pack show
he did tweet it in in my least favorite um twitter exchange maybe of all time
mcfarland uh tagged elon musk and said but elon musk fire three definitely needs to be in space
that i'm so i'm not going oh my god for that reason we might we
might have to be out we might have to be out i don't think the logistics are there the tech's
certainly not there can you imagine if if your fucking spacecraft landed and you looked around
and you were like oh shit the camping here is not great where am i gonna fucking sleep these are the moon pies
it's like dude these moon pies looks like shit i'm gonna tweet them they don't even have mars
do they even have service up there how would you get service space link how would you post
