All right, we're back circling back podcast coming to you from the watch media headquarters
in Austin, Texas. My name's Will.
To my left, known traveler, David Roth. They know me. They know me. You step in the airport and you're just known.
I was just, I was just picking my seats for upcoming flights and like, I was like dude you know I'm going middle seat. You know I'm going middle seat.
You know I'm a middle boy.
Dude.
I'm a great middle.
You like to make friends on the flight.
And I don't like paying an upcharge for a preferred seat.
That's pretty much it.
The middle is kind of nice because you always have something you can like fall asleep on
if someone's next to you.
Your neighbor's shoulder?
Yeah, it's annoying when you're on the aisle and you don't have anyone to lean on when
you're wanting to sleep.
That's tough, yeah.
I really hate the pick your seat thing because it really makes you feel like small baller.
Because like, what do you mean?
Okay, the flights that we have upcoming more on this later, they were just booked.
Mine was like just booked.
So I'm going there and I'm like, all right, I'm going to pick my seat.
I'm going to get an aisle.
So in case I have to use the restroom, that's not an option.
And there was one and it was like, we can get this seat for $37.50.
I'm like, ah, here's the thing.
$37.50, huh?
I agree with you.
I think it's ridiculous how the airlines are operating.
My wife would would snap at me and tell me, well, you shouldn't have done basic economy.
I said, well, why like why?
Why does basic economy now mean you can only sit in the middle seat on a Delta flight?
That's right. You know what I would say?
Huh? Hurts nobody.
Yeah. Basic economy.
I got only there was an airline that would let you choose your seat as you Basic economy. I got only there was an airline
that would let you choose your seat as you sat down.
I got a window for all my seats.
I didn't pay. Wow.
This guy's are you more known than Dave?
We're not flying from the same place.
I'm better known.
You're flying a little baller. Austin Berkshaw.
I'm flying from O'Hare.
Mr. Mr. Worldwide.
I believe we have the same flight on the way back, though.
Mr. Global Entry. No, do we? Oh, yeah, I believe we have the same flight on the way back, though. Mr. Global entry.
No, do we? Oh, yeah, I'm on your flight.
No, no, no, no.
We're now on the late flight or unless did you get yours?
Move by 40 something. Yeah, I'm on that one.
So we are.
Well, I must have been.
I must have got rat assed because I'm a.
Hey, sucks to suck.
What is the F and rat stand for?
You know what? Maybe I'll just go in and
I'll see. Yeah, I've done a lot of travel and I'll just
I'll just use that old company card and upgrade.
Do it. Fuck you. Do it.
Upgrade. There's only upgrade.
First class is only 590.
I'm in I'm in favor of Dave upgrading to first class
if Dylan gets an aisle seat.
It's only 590. It's only fair.
It's only 590 dollars.
Dude, if you think about that, that's not that much in the grand,
our national debt is trillions of dollars.
Like $590, not that much.
It's a content play.
I'm gonna be up there just doing content.
You've seen Salgal, what she does
when she's on a plane?
Think about that, but it's me.
Dave's, what do you call him?
Known traveler.
Known traveler with Dave Ruff.
Dude, that's not bad. That's not bad.
That's not bad.
I've got a number and everything.
That's how they know me.
Dude, I'm in the system.
Dylan Shivery.
Thanks for the intro, Will.
Inspired by our friend Dave Ruff over here,
I also am now on Cameo.
OK.
So I need to hop on the cams?
I signed up yesterday afternoon and I did zero promotion.
I didn't talk about it anywhere.
I got a DM at 9.02 PM last night.
Okay.
I'll leave this young man's name out of it, but he said,
Dylan, you rock.
Let me know if you want to make money to make videos
of your footwear and feet.
See, it'd be super easy and it'd mean a lot from you.
Let me know because I'd be super dude.
It'd be super dope.
Hold on.
I'd pay on Venmo or PayPal that preferred.
Please make DMS free.
I didn't know that it costs money to DM people on here.
He paid 299 to send me this message.
Wait, Dylan, there's an on tap market and like I don't get me wrong. I understand. DM people on here. He paid 2.99 to send me this message.
Wait, Dylan, there's an untapped market.
And like, don't get me wrong, I understand.
I understand the logistics around selling feet pics.
I understand the moral turmoil that might be existing there.
I understand, I understand like the possible,
I don't like to use this word in this case,
but like you might be embarrassed.
Like, oh, I'm selling feet pics.
There is more
than $590 to be made here. If I did it, I'm going to move in silence. You could fly in first class
in silence if you just started selling feet picks every once in a while. I think one month would show
you like, oh, this is a life-changing amount of money for my feet. I don't know if it's going to
be life-changing money. You've been blessed.
It's like beer money.
You've been blessed with feet.
I don't have the willpower in me to deny so many people
the opportunity to see my feet.
No one's ever even asked.
I'm one for one on Cameo.
I've got one five-star review.
Do you wanna read it?
Said from the recipient himself,
nice to get a personalized message
from my fave circling back member as my fave blink member
Ten out of ten thought this was one of the weirder cameos. I've purchased that I had to explain to my wife
Probably because your request was that I wish your friend well on his move across the country as either
Tom DeLong or Dominic Hoshick
Okay, okay.
Those are the two options.
You didn't go with the dominator?
I didn't go with the dominator.
I decided to go with Tom.
So, hey.
Hey.
What's up?
I wish you well.
Oh, God.
Hey, Mom, I'm moving across the country.
Happy birthday to my best friend, Tommy. Let's drink
beers on a porch in the backyard. Yeah, I feel like
there's a market for you on there. Anyway, we can play some
beer die. Someone found me. I don't know how. Well, sell your
feet pics, Dylan. You know what I was doing at 902 PM last
night? Sleeping? No, I had one of those moments last night
where you remember a really uncomfortable moment
from your past and you start to overthink it.
And then you start to think,
like, do you think other people think
about this embarrassing moment that I did?
Ooh.
Do you wanna hear my embarrassing moment
that came into my brain last night?
Yes, please.
Okay, I was sitting there
and I don't know why this came into my head,
but I was at a 4th of July party, probably
if I had to guess 15 years ago.
And I went to the bar to go pour myself a glass of wine.
And I got distracted in conversation with one
of my friend's moms.
And while I was pouring the wine and I didn't realize
how much I had poured in my glass.
And my buddy Todd rolled up to me and looks down
at my glass
and he goes, Jesus, DeFries, look at that glugger.
And I had like, my wine glass was like filled
like four fits to the top,
just way too much wine in the wine glass.
And everyone looked at my glugger of wine.
And I was just sitting in bed last night like, damn dude,
do you think everyone thought I like had issues?
Glugger, he said.
Like I had a straight up full like, turvist tumbler just like-
You had a glugger.
Topped out with wine.
Straight up meniscus on top of that thing.
What you just described there is essentially age 35 through age 38.
That's pretty much your entire life is putting your head down at night and then thinking about
some embarrassing moment from sixth grade or like
some shit from like your freshman level economy class
that you're like, oh my god, do they remember me? Does that
person think about me? I always had the anxiety after getting
like hammered at a bar and like the next time I'd have to go
back to that bar and be like, man, I hope the bartender that
over served me is not there. I don't want to see him again.
Like it's going to be embarrassing.
Yeah. I think about, I think about stuff like that too. Not no gluggers involved in mine.
No gluggers.
No gluggers.
Really?
Yeah.
How about handshakes that I fuck up.
I thought you love some big glugs.
Dude, you do fuck up handshakes.
No, I, no, it's not like a regular thing.
Did you, did you ever learn to DAP properly?
Yeah.
You got a DAP problem. I'm a great DAPer.
Are you? Yeah. I had to get DAP in the office the other day. No one called it out though.
Generational DAPage. You're kind of DAP deficient.
There's one really embarrassing moment from fifth grade that I remember very well. Every Friday night in fifth grade,
we went to Playland skate park, not skate park,
indoor rollerblading rink, whatever.
And I think the whole fifth grade was there,
at least the cool people were.
And I was talking to these two girls and a song came on
and I ran out of things to say.
I was sitting there just in awkward,
like 10 seconds of silence.
And I, for whatever reason,
my instinct was to start dancing to the song
that had just come on.
And I was like, and they were just looking at me like,
what's this guy doing?
I just skated off.
And I don't think I ever caught a song.
That might've been the smoothest thing you've ever done.
I don't remember the song.
I like imagining Dylan backing up in his roller skates,
dancing to like- That was when gangster's paradise. I was gonna say that that blew up the skating ring
That was the one where everybody would get nuts at our place too, but it wasn't that song
I would have weird al totally ruined gangsters paradise for me. Yeah
Like amish paradise for some reason just gave me the creeps bad
I hated it hated every single bit of it. The skating rink is when you really realize that there was like a...
There were bad kids, not just like bad kids who were like talking in class, but like kids who would
go behind the skating rink and smoke cigarettes or kids who would be doing some stuff with the
other sex that you shouldn't be doing. But you know, a little bit of heavy petting.
Uh-huh, heavy petting.
We didn't have an indoor skate place.
I didn't have one late enough in life to appreciate it.
It's one of those things I only went to
when I was like four years old and then it went away.
We did have the skate park.
Yeah.
But nothing really went down there.
It was just once a dude's like throwing pieces
of wood at each other and tripping each other as they dropped in. I believe it was on Burnett Road really went down there. It was just a bunch of dudes throwing pieces of wood at each other and tripping each other
as they dropped in.
I believe it was on Burnett Road, no longer there.
That's what's up.
Yeah.
The skating rink in Duncanville is still there and thriving.
Redbird Skateland.
Really?
It's where I learned to play roller hockey.
It's where I learned that I was not in the cool class in fifth or sixth grade.
My dad dropped me off there one Friday night.
I realized I was the only one who brought my actual blades
because I was playing hockey at the time
and everybody else ran into quads.
So the regular roller skates.
Dude, that's tight though.
I think that's tight.
No, they made fun of me, dude.
That's lame.
That's their insecurity.
I mean like, damn, Dave's with this.
The cool kids had the quads.
And I remember like walking in,
looking and seeing like who from the class was there.
And like, I immediately was like, went back, called my house, told my mom, I was like,
can you have dad come back and get me?
Did you all do this? Well, first of all, I was nice on the blades, believe it or not.
Do you all do this, though?
If you showed up to Playland and you had the brakes still on your blades.
Oh, yeah. You got laughed out the gym.
If you couldn't, what do you stop?
If you could, you know, what were you doing?
I didn't know it's like this.
You just got stuffed in a locker. No. If you even tried to T-stop, get out.
Yeah. You couldn't hang out with my crew if you had your brakes still on.
Yeah. If you couldn't skate backwards, sorry, buddy.
Sorry. Damn. I don't think we had even an equivalent here.
Really? Yeah. Y'all didn't ice skate?
No, we had an ice skating rink, but it wasn't that big of a deal.
I don't know. Everyone skied so much that like going to the ice skating rink was just like,
whatever. Like, I don't care. Much, much cooler.
I don't give a fuck about that. Hey, can we make a major announcement?
Randy turned back. He's out of the office. Where the fuck is he?
Where? I don't know where he went. He just didn't show up this morning. Kind of weird.
He's been acting kind of quiet and weird lately.
So maybe he just needed some time off,
but we're going to give it to him.
And so this is our formal announcement
that it's audio week until further notice.
We're bringing audio back.
Next week as well.
Oh yeah, next week's audio week as well.
And so just sit back and enjoy the sounds in your ear holes.
If you want to see us on video when you get,
or when Randy gets back, youtube.com slash circling back.
We also have Dylan's track house.
Dylan has been formally trained on how to set up
Dylan's track house.
youtube.com slash watch media.
See you Thursday.
We'll be praying that it works.
I honestly thought about that and I was like,
wait, did Dylan learn how to do that?
I went through it one time.
Randy, to his credit, gave me excellent instructions.
I have no excuse to not give this one.
You are making fun of the specificity
of his instructions.
One of the steps is turn TV on.
Hey dude, that helps.
That shit helps, dude.
He didn't miss a single step.
Nope, can't.
And right now we're doing a lot of work behind the scenes for the all new
Washed Media shop. Washedmedia.shop will be your destination for anything to burn down in over the
fall. That's right. If you want to burn down in something, we got stuff for you to burn down in.
Man, people are going to like that stuff. I'm really pumped about it, yeah. Washmedia.shop, it will be live likely next week.

Sunday.
I'm not sure I'm going to travel without it moving forward.
Yeah, I just don't see that not making the cut for you regardless.
It's a good flight jacket.
Yeah.

Performance talk about Frankie Valley
My first my first exposure to Frankie Valley Dave was really through my parents
Old East Asian old East Asian just had it going But my I really fell head over heels in love with Frankie Valley's music my freshman year of college
He's in love with Frankie Valley's music. My freshman year of college.
After a big night, buddy would walk into our room
just with a speaker just blasting,
Oh, What a Night by Frankie Valley.
Just letting everyone know that, yeah.
Yeah, we might've blacked out on Natty Lights
at the K.A. house last night.
I knew some dudes that let me in cause I'm a GDI.
Back in 63?
Five?
Back in 63. What? Back in 63.
What a very special time for me.
This guy just hooked up.
This song's just about like, you met a young lady,
you can't get her off your mind.
I don't use this phrase often,
but I think it applies to Frankie Valli.
Something tells me that he was a coxman back in his day.
Do you wanna know his birth?
Yeah. Yeah, buddy. Can you wanna know his birth? Yeah.
Yeah, buddy.
Can I give you his birth name?
Sure.
Francesco Castelluccio.
Okay. That's dope.
Do you think he's ever done like some shows
as Francesco Castelluccio?
It's just too many syllables.
It's a lot.
It's good though.
It's a strong Italian name.
Is that eight syllables?
It's eight, yeah.
Francesco Castelluccio.
Yeah, you gotta change it.
You gotta go with the stage name.
I don't know, man.
Well, if you would have asked me a few weeks ago
if Frankie Valli was alive,
I would have said he died in COVID.
Okay.
And I don't think he did. I think part of him might be dead based on the videos that
have surfaced. All right. Because we don't have any video today, we are simply going to play some
of the audio and let you know what's going on here. Well, I think the audio is not going to really...
Turns out he sounds really good based on the audio. And this is courtesy of our friends at Katatonic Utes.
It's probably one of the best follows out there.
If you have a Friday night and you want to go ahead on an absolute warm hole of musical
content, mostly bad and hilarious, follow Katatonic Utes.
Here's Frankie Valley. This is all concert footage. I'm going to play it now.
Also, we posted this on our story on Circling Back.
Hit me on the grom.
Sounds pretty good.
Sounds just like the record. He hasn't lost his step. Okay, you gotta watch the video.
So you know how there's some controversy about the the commander in chief, the president being a little
old. They're kind of like, all right, what point is this like really, they shouldn't have him out
there, right? For a number of reasons, but he's very old and it feels a little
that's what this is. This is worse. Not for a country, but just for the guy because Frankie Valley is like 90. And they're
trotting them out there and they've got, you know, the rest
of the they've got, you know, they don't have the entire band,
they don't have the other the four seasons there, right?
Those guys aren't around. They've got three younger guys
that are doing like full dance
and they're singing.
A lot of energy actually.
A lot of energy and they're like, you know,
mixing it up with the crowd and they're like-
Choreographed dance moves.
Why is he doing this?
And then they stroll Frankie out.
I mean, dude.
They look like small venues.
He's not getting paid much for this.
Like, why is he doing this?
Dude, he's just got the love of the game, dude. All he knows in life is performing.
There's no way.
He's just an old bag of bones now.
He's not even remotely close to lip syncing. What he's doing is, it looks like an animatronic.
He's holding a mic up to his mouth and they're playing the song over the speaker.
I think Joe Biden truly wanted to be president and be in the situation he was in. I don't think he
wanted out. I look at Frankie Valli performing was in. I don't think he wanted out.
I look at Frankie Valli performing these songs and I don't even know if he knows where he is. We got to save Frankie. Like he's just singing on Muscle Memory alone. I think we... Okay,
if we're going to do an Ocean's Eleven heist, I think we call up Firehouse Subs guy.
No, he loves Frankie Valli. You know he loves Frankie Valli and probably wants to save him too.
You know that he knows like all the back entrances
to all the casinos Frankie Valley's performing in
at this point.
They're not the high dollar casinos.
No.
What's like a real like beaten down circus circus.
Oh no.
Okay.
That's where he's performing,
but not even in like the main venue.
It's like the lounge area.
I would pay, I would pay money for him to not sing
and just tell like stories.
Yeah.
I would listen to Frankie Valli tell stories
cause you know he came across some unsavory characters.
I think his family's putting him up to this
to like pad their...
He must not have been...
Inheritance a little bit, you know?
I think there's a 22 to his head until he gets on stage.
I think when he walks on the stage,
that's the first time he doesn't have a gun barrel
pressed up against him.
He's a Jersey guy, he's a Jersey boy.
Dude, it might be the mob, dude.
Why is the mob not being okay?
What if they're using him as a money laundering?
They're laundering money through Frankie's performances
right now and he doesn't have any way of getting out.
Somebody's gotta make it right.
Somebody has to slide Frankie, I don't know, a couple bands, a couple hundred bands, and
say, just let's call it a day.
I mean, I'm worried about him.
What year was he born?
1934.
Mike, that's too old.
He's so old.
He's old enough to remember World War II.
He's bag of bone status.
Very much so.
Um, I've got fond memories of being like
driving home from like Staken Hill with my my family and like 98.7 K
Love on the radio and just hearing big girls don't cry
and really not knowing what the song was about, other than like a literal
interpretation of the song.
I'm like, what the fuck?
Okay.
They don't cry.
They don't cry.
Should we start a barbershop quartet on the Lolo?
You know what's funny about that?
No.
When he was coming up, he worked as a barber.
Dude, I get it.
Really?
I get it, dude.
Yeah, Francesco Castellucciano.
Or wait, what was it?
If I could get my hair cut,
if I could have Francesco Castellucciano. Or wait, what was it? If I could have Francesco Castellucciano
shape up my mullet, I would do that. There's no way a guy with the last name Castelluccio
would touch your mullet. He would cut all the back of the mullet off and just slick it back.
He would give you the best slick of all time. He would kick me the fuck out of there.
Slicks only is the name of his barbershop. Yep.
out of there. Slicks only, is the name of his barbershop. Yep. Come on down to slicks. Well, Frankie, I hope they bust you out like relatively soon.
Like, I just, I don't, it doesn't feel good knowing that you're out here just like performing like
this. Don't spend your golden years this way. His mouth is barely moving when he's on stage. He
just looks like, he looks like Christopher Walken doing an impression of someone not moving. Yes
Valley has appeared as an actor in Miami Vice as mafia boss Frank Doss full house
Sopranos as mobster rusty Emilio and
Film and so it goes. You know what we We wish him well. We are team Frankie.
We just want the best for him. It's not nice to if it look.
It's the way they're like rolling them out, because like the three other guys,
they'll be like singing. And then when the falsetto part comes on, they kind of like part like this, you know, they open it up and like bring him out.
And he just walks out
And everybody goes nuts. It's walk is generous. It's it's a shuffles. He shuffles out and
Everybody goes nuts. This just to see him
Shuffles is there something to that? Like is there gonna be a point where like blinks up there and Tom rolls out literally rolls out
Most people know just want to see him. Most people know when to call it though. You know, do they? I don't know if they do. You know, I mean, we're talking about this because
it doesn't happen. Willie's not quite like Frankie Valli. No, he's not. No, but he can't hit his
vocals are gone. It's not good. He's like, he has like 60% strength in those vocals. Yeah.
I love Willie, but yeah, seeing him live
is not a thrill at this point.
It's more just like, okay, cool.
This is cool.
I got to see Willie.
This is cool.
Like when you're Frankie Valley's age,
why do you even want to do this?
Do you still love the thrill of being in front of a crowd?
Mafia.
God, I would honestly pay money to hear him
just sit down and just answer questions.
Because when you're around Vegas for that long, this guy's been through the rise of
Vegas, the mob shit in Vegas, he's a Jersey guy, he's got great stories.
To Pock and Cal.
I don't know if he knows much about Pock, but that's a great, I would actually want
to know.
The mob side of Vegas, I know mobs notoriously do bad things. Sure. The mob side of Vegas, I know like mobs like notoriously do like bad things.
Sure.
Like the mob side of Vegas is pretty sick.
Oh, so sick.
Like when we went and played Las Vegas Country Club,
which is where they did a bunch of casino stuff
and everything, just like, it was just cool.
Just knowing like, oh, there were hitters
in here at one point.
You know the legend of, was it Bugsy Siegel?
Eh, eh.
And why Vegas became the city that it is?
No, so one thing I would like to do is I'd like to read,
I'd like to read a short book
about the history of Las Vegas.
According to legend, and I don't know how true this is,
probably 0%, but Bugsy Seagull, mobster,
was driving through the desert
and pulled over to take a piss.
He was like, let's build a casino right here.
And that was the center of Las Vegas.
These casinos always win.
That would be me.
That would be me.
We've been stopping every five miles to piss.
I'd be like, hey, let's pump on here.
Dave, we can't do a casino all over the country.
Dave would build the strip in a day.
That entire stay would be covered if it was up to me.
What would your first casino be called?
Ooh, Golden Shower. Okay. Oh, what would your first casino be called? Oh, Golden Shower.
Okay.
Oh, man.
I thought you were going to say like the Grand Dave.
Oh, yeah, that's good too.
It would be the Known Travelers.
That's a good, dude, that could be a good band name.
That's the name of my travel leisure podcast.
The Known Traveling Band?
It's good.
That could be our barbershop quartet name. Known Traps. Known Travelers is our our fish cover band. I
don't really know how it ties into fish but um how about a
blues traveler cover band? Yeah, they're kind of doing that
right now themselves. What if we had a blues traveler cover
band but it was called Blows Traveler? Okay. Okay. What does that mean exactly? Um just wherever the
wind takes you. Wherever the wind blows you. Did you see
Jack White's uh tour announcement? No. Jack White is
on tour. ACL one time. Um let me let me pull up his
announcement and read it for you guys.
One moment, it says, hello, and love all the people in the world out there.
Lot of folks ask, oh my God,
how many pop-ups are you gonna have, Rolling Stone?
Come on.
These websites are desperate.
Lot of folk at.
God, dude, it's like four.
Dave, this is insane.
What are you doing?
No, I don't want notifications from Rolling Stone
on my desktop.
Like, what are you...
Hello, in love to all the peoples in the world out there.
A lot of folk asking about when we're going to announce
the quote unquote tour dates.
Well, we don't know what to tell you,
but we're on tour already.
It started at Allegiant a couple of weeks ago.
People saying that these are pop-up shows we've been playing.
Well, you can call them whatever you want,
but we're on tour right now.
These are the shows, quote unquote.
We won't really be announcing dates in advance so much.
We'll mostly be playing at small clubs, backyard feats,
and a few festivals here and there to help pay for expenses.
Shows will be announced as close to the show date as possible.
Some shows won't even decide to do until that morning.
I also want to walk through orchard fields
and grab apples off trees at will
and fill my belly full of that fruit
if the desire strikes me.
I'm looking for that cool breeze, you know?
Lots of love and rock and roll to all of you.
And you are blessed for giving that love to others.
We hope that we see you on the road soon.
If not, let's get coffee and a slice of pie sometime.
Music is sacred.
Johnny Guitar."
Like what, dude?
Shut up, John.
Why are you doing so much?
Like, oh, cool, dude.
You're traveling.
Oh, you're a traveling band that's doing pop-up shows,
eating apples off trees, having pie with the common folk.
What a weirdo.
Like-
Have you ever listened to Jack White talk?
He's an interesting feller.
Why does he do?
Why?
It's so much.
You're not Tom Sawyer, brother.
He's a big baseball fan.
Loves baseball.
Who's his team?
Cubbies, I think.
They actually did a draft within the white stripes of his most satisfying sounds
and he picked all baseball sounds.
The roar of the crowd, the crack of a bat.
That's great.
Like if you're like a Jack White super fan,
are you just kind of annoyed like,
hey man, like I would love to just give you
my hard earned money to go see you play live,
but you're kind of making it difficult on me.
He may not be allowed to.
Why?
Contractually.
Yeah, fair.
No, but if he can put out an Instagram like that,
that's enough to get you in trouble
if you can't do it contractually.
He was probably advised against him,
but he didn't anyway,
because he's a bad boy at rock and roll.
Yeah.
He'll probably be doing the thing when he's 90.
Hey man, it's cool, man.
Who else is doing it too long?
Bob Dylan.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah. Is he still doing it? Yeah, he's still doing it. It's Bob Dylan. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
Is he still doing it?
Yeah, he's still doing it.
It's not good.
Mick Jagger at least like.
No, Jagger still got it dude.
50 year old.
He's still got it.
He's doing the appropriate drugs to keep him on the up.
Bob, we're very old, but still very much with it.
Yeah, he's not like, you know,
he's not firing at the pace that he was before,
but like he's still in a good spot
and he surrounded himself with people who can carry a lot.
Does it make Jagger just work out constantly?
I think he does.
Bob Weir does too.
Oh yeah, he told me that.
Bob Weir just does a lot of mace workouts,
stuff like that.
Does he really?
Loves it, dude, he loves it.
His entire TikTok is just him working out.
I like the couple of his songs,
but he's a little bit overrated for me.
Bobby?
Mace.
Bobby!
I was at Lifetime off William Cannon, working out.
He didn't say that.
He might though.
That'd be weird if you saw Mick Jagger at the gym.
That would be weird to see him anywhere really.
I'd be bummed to see like a favorite of mine at the gym.
Why would you be bummed? see like a favorite of mine at the gym.
Why would you be bummed? I saw the guy from Midland.
Because it's different approaching someone in a gym
than approaching someone somewhere else.
You wouldn't be able to approach him.
If it's someone that I really like loved
and wanted to approach and at least just give them like a,
hey, big fan, really thanks for all the work you do,
whatever, one of those.
Like in a gym, I'd be more gun shy.
It's like, I don't want to interrupt this guy's workout.
I interrupted the lead singer of Midland working out.
I didn't interrupt him kidding,
but I did see him up there.
He used to work out there.
Who's the Irish golfer that worked out next to it lifetime?
Shane Lowry?
Shane Lowry, yeah.
Right next to him for like 30 minutes.
A man of size.
Yeah.
Yes.
He's getting after it though to his credit.
I know someone who saw Tosh Oakley
and Devin Bregman working out in Austin
Oh my god. Yeah, they had to stop working out KJ was outside of the gym barking the entire time
They felt unsafe
What were they in town for I think like a book deal some kind of book signing
Certain member of my household I informed that person that those people were in town.
How do you know that David?
And she wasn't that familiar immediately and I showed that person.
And she's like, oh, I was like, ah, I thought it was more of a known thing.
Maybe you'd be like.
Dude, they're famous famous.
That's what I thought.
I guess.
Well, I would recognize Bugman but not the other one
in public. Well, they stopped at Terry Black's first, which I really appreciate it. Not a bad
first stop. When I imagine people who own a swimsuit brand and then pump that brand through their
huge followings, I don't imagine them going to Terry Black's first. Fair point, yeah. It's not a health play.
It's not a stay lean play.
Can we talk Barack?
Yes.
I guess in this case, we might be talking Barack and Roll.
That's pretty good.
Pretty good.
He released his summer playlist yesterday.
I think we've talked about this in years past
and I'd just like to do a quick go-through
of this right now because I still maintain
that there's no way he is putting together this playlist on his own.
No.
He's got everyone on here from Shaboosie,
Charlie XCX, Billy Eilish.
I just don't see him sitting around listening to
365 by Charlie XCX.
It's just simply not happening.
Dude, so many of these are just off the top 40 list.
So a few years ago, maybe even not even a few,
it could have been like last year,
someone found Obama's daughter's Spotify account
and one of her playlists was just straight up like this,
his summer playlist for something.
And it was like, oh, she's just making this
and giving it to her dad.
There's no way that she's sitting around
or that he's sitting around curating this.
Barack's not on whatever,
not Epstein's plane since that's what Trump was on,
but he's on some private jet
just like scrolling through his Spotify.
You think he's a Spotify guy?
He does mix up some oldies though.
I guess, I guess.
But he's got like,
I do kind of believe that he would like
No Diggity by Blackstreet in summer 2024.
That song is always a player.
That Shibuzy song, a bar song,
it's really getting too much play.
Similar to Million Dollar Baby,
they're just getting worn out.
I don't even know the song.
Really?
You know it if you, they're TikTok songs, right?
Like there's songs that blew up on TikTok.
It is quite, it's quite catchy.
A bar song by Shaboosie, but it's kind of song
listen to five times.
It's like, okay, I don't need to listen to the song anymore.
I've made my summer playlist.
Would you like to hear it?
Sure.
These are gonna be my most listened to songs
from summer 2024, okay. As you guys know,
I'm going through Brat summer. Right. Von Dutch, Charlie XCX. I think it might be my most played
Spotify song at the end of the year. I need to dip into Charlie XCX because I'm so unfunny.
Dude, she's like 31. She's right in our wheelhouse. Okay. It's great. I'm going to spin her today.
We Bring the Boom by AJ and Big Justice.
You guys familiar with this jam?
Yeah. The Rizzler.
I bring the boom.
I bring the boom to you.
Does this look familiar?
It's the Costco guys, dude.
They put out a banger song.
The Costco guys?
This guy doesn't even know the Rizzler.
Dude, you don't know the Costco.
You don't know the Rizzler?
I don't know the Rizzler.
Oh dude, you would know him if you saw him, I feel like.
It's like a father and son duo
who just go to Costco and shit.
But they came out with a rap song
that my son's now obsessed with.
Yeah, I spawned it yesterday after you sent it.
My son is also obsessed with this song on my playlist.
I Can Do It With a Broken Heart by Taylor Swift.
Have you been listening to that, Dave?
I feel like that would be a Lyssa fave.
Probably.
You know, it's been getting a lot of play
in the office lately?
Not necessarily around you guys, but me, Randy and Brett.
Chandelier by Sia.
I fuck with Sia.
Dude.
I don't know that song.
Yeah, you do.
You just don't know you know it.
Okay.
This is a whole, do you know it kind of play for you.
And I just, I don't connect.
It's probably her most popular song.
Yeah, I
think that's fair. Give me a stanza.
That sucked. Oh, okay. Edit that out, Randy. Dude, you kind
of low key snapped with that. You did. I'm more of a Frankie
Valley guy. Yeah, I've got Frankie Valli, Oh What a Night 1963,
super disco breakin' by Beastie Boys.
Dave, when's the last time you dipped into Hello Nasty?
Is that Body Movin'?
Yeah.
Body Movin'?
Yes, you should dip into Hello Nasty
for the first time in a while,
because I have to say, if there was any party
that liked Beastie Boys back in the day,
Hello Nasty really lives up to its reputation.
I did like the Beastie Boys,
but I will say one of my least favorite songs of all time is Brass Monkey. I get it. I get it. I
hate Brass Monkey more than anything. I respect that the Beastie Boys paved the way in a lot of
ways in hip hop. They were very influential in a lot of things, but some of their early songs
are just not good. There are some really bad early songs from them
girls Durned earned earned earned earned. That's not a good song either. No, it's not
Sabotage though, you want to talk good. That's one of the best videos of all time. I know that one Cochise do you
Do we want to see Biden's playlist no, it's probably a lot of Frankie Valley I would like to see Biden's playlist?
No, it's probably a lot of Frankie Valley.
I would like to see Trump's playlist straight up.
He puts off doesn't listen to music vibes.
Yes.
I could see Trump having that take.
All right.
I honestly, I think that that's out there.
I think that's a known thing.
Does Trump listen to music? He controls the music at
Mar-a-Lago with a big iPad and a Spotify playlist, David.
There's no way. Dude, this is per Axios, man. There is no
look. They even, they even. What is he playing? That's what I
need to know. Tropical House. He's banging that soldier boy,
dude. Kid Rock. Taste of Sax. He likes Phantom of the Opera.
So do I.
Jesus Christ superstar Elvis heard this article.
Dude, family opera goes so hard.
I think there's an orchestra side of me
that's yet to be tapped.
Phantom of the Opera.
Give me the nutcracker.
Inside my heart.
Give me the nutcracker, I'll go off.
Did you and your boys ever do the nutcracker move?
We called it a hickory nutcruncher.
Can you explain what that means?
A hickory nutcruncher is where you pin your boy
on the ground and then you grab him by the ankles.
Okay.
And then you put your foot between his legs
and you threaten to stomp his nuts.
Okay.
It was like assault.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But in middle school, you know.
We never did that.
We would deploy that probably,
we would deploy that once a sleepover in middle school
of like, all right, let's hickory our buddy.
No, we kept it light, you know, just doorknob, gopher.
Nut taps.
Yeah, just ball game, safety.
You played nutball though, right?
I know you played nutball.
I played nutball not long ago.
I would play nutball on a bachelor party right now.
Ooh, man, it hurts a lot more these days.
What kind of ball you using?
Whatever the bachelor party house has.
I almost think at this age,
we have to go like tennis ball or something. My friends and I were savage. We played with a fucking bowling ball.
Really? Yeah.
Dude, that's sick. Dude, that's sick. Dude, that's sick.
Nutball.
Nutball was good.
Hickory nut cruncher.
That's where you just tell your buddy like, hey, I'm going to send you to the hospital
now.
Yeah, I'm good.
I'm going to ruin the next few days of your life.
Yeah.
I'm going to make sure you don't have kids later.
I'm going to make sure that you have to figure this out and go through a lot of trauma in
life.
I do respect that the summer playlist is still a thing that he's doing.
He doesn't need to do it.
No.
It's pretty extra. It's a way for him
to maintain relevance and maybe make the Utes remember him from a summer playlist and not the
many, many, many drone strikes carried out, including one on American citizen people don't
talk about. But yeah, the playlist is, it's a good playlist. I don't know if he's the one who curates
it, but at the end of the day, you got to respect it. It's playlist. I don't know if he's the one who curates it,
but at the end of the day, you gotta respect it.
It's got a little common on there.
Oh, Nora Jones, love Nora Jones, Dallas' own.
Nora Jones, she's gonna be playing ACL this year.
She is.
I might go catch that piano set.
That would be a good one.
I don't know how that plays at ACL.
She's early in the day, I think on Saturday or Sunday,
weekend, I think. And I think it'll be a nice
little entry point for me into the ACL Fest that year. You know what? I'm just going to go warm
up with some little Norah Jones. Weekend two day, get your wristband. Week two.
Wicked, wicked two. Make it happen, bitch. You won't. You won't, bitch.
I am going to forgo first class on the flights and I'm going to divert those funds to Dave
going to ACL.
You could easily expense ACL.
I mean, I'm going to, it's a content player.
You could write that off.
So much content.
Dang, look at North challenge.
Great.
Actually speaking of music festivals, do you think we'll see Barack Obama at Bourbon and
Beyond September 19th through the 22nd at the Highland Festival grounds at Kentucky's
Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky?
I don't know why you'd miss it.
I do dabble.
What's your, what are your favorite brands?, Kentucky. I do like Burman. I do dabble.
What are your favorite brands?
Oh man, I like the Eagle Rare.
You're a pretty big fan of the Angels Envy, right?
Oh yeah, Angels in the Outfield, Great Flip.
I'm sorry.
If you're not familiar with Burman and Beyond,
it's time to get familiar
because Burman and Beyond's unique
immersive festival experience includes
some of the best music talent in the country.
They got country music, Americana, classic rock,
alternative rock, roots, everything.
But in addition to the music,
they've got a wide range of culinary programs
from some of the country's top chefs,
along with an array of bourbon tastings and workshops
showcasing America's best chefs
in Louisville's bourbon and culinary culture.
Me personally, I'm pretty jazzed on this, boys.
We got everyone in the mix right now.
Stinging Beck on Thursday,
Dave Matthews band at Tadeski Trucks band on Friday, Zach Bryan, Cody Jinx on
Saturday, Tyler Childers and My Morning Jacket on Sunday. I gotta imagine one big
holiday by My Morning Jacket hits absolutely different on a Sunday evening
in Louisville, Kentucky, their hometown. I can't decide which which evening will
be my favorite. Right now I got my eyes set on that Tedeschi trucks band show
That's what I'm most excited for any familiarize myself. I'm I'm in for whiskey Myers. I have to love them love them
So good, we might even be able to meet Maren Morris in the middle. Oh
Dude, I see what you did there. Yeah, we'll be there by the way. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we'll be on the premises
We'll come holler at you. No barking Dylan. For more information on Bourbon and Beyond,
please visit bourbonandbeyond.com. They believe in quality over quantity, so please drink
responsibly. There's a link to purchase tickets in the description of this episode.
Since we're going to be there, should we, I don't know what the the schedule looks like. I haven't seen an itinerary.
A lot of Louisville, Louisville backers maybe.
Hit us, meet us up at the old bar.
There was a pizza spot that we hit during Derby last year that's
owning so much real estate in my brain. It was one of the, we went double pepperoni on them.
Which is such an underrated move. So full disclosure, there's no guarantee that we'll get to like sit down and do
an interview with any of these people, but we can try.
We've been given the contact info for pretty much all these artists.
And I'm wondering if there's, if there's, I don't know, if there's somebody we're
not thinking of on here that would be really cool to talk to that's like a lesser know.
Kelly Craft and the other dude, if you will.
If Brett gets me Hornsby, I'm gonna annoy Hornsby so much.
I would like to talk to Hornsby quite a bit.
Not only because he is the number one
most listened to artist on the golf course,
but obviously his time playing keys with the dead,
his intermingling with the great Rick Carlisle
and Bill Walton, he's got some stories there.
Hornsby would be a blast.
And I've heard him like in interviews,
he seems like a very normal guy.
I want him, I want Hornsby.
Give me Hornsby.
Let's request it.
Do I make you Hornsby, baby? Don't say that to
him. I'm gonna say that to him first. Hey Bruce, do I make you Hornsby, baby? Shagadelic. What do
I, if you want some bourbon? Mary Morris. Do we want to talk to her? I feel like we do. Yeah,
we want to talk to Mary Morris. You kidding? I would like to do a full on Lilith Fair interview
with Melissa Etheridge, if I'm being straight up honest
with you.
So on that PDF, she's the only artist that has,
there's no information regarding like publicist,
booking, any of that.
She has, it's all blanks.
You just DM her.
I don't think she does anything.
We're just DMing her, dude.
I'll just DM her.
It's fine.
Sting?
No. Okay. I'm just DMing her, dude. I'll just DM her, it's fine. Sting? No.
Okay.
I'm just,
I would interview Sting.
You know, Brett is like the biggest
Dave Matthews band fan there is.
He showed up in Austin, Texas with a sticker
on the back of his car.
I know.
Swag.
I've seen him lie like a million times.
Zach Bryan's the obvious answer.
Yeah, but I don't know.
He's the hottest.
I don't have as much to talk about with Zach Bryan
as I do with, you know, Bruce Hornsby and Lyle Love it
I feel like he would be much easier to talk to than those guys because he's in our demo
Yeah, he'd be easy to talk to he would he would mix it up about pretty much anything
Let's see what happens. I may as well try
Matt I put on the request list. I did put matchbox 20
I feel like rob thomas has some stories probably I went to I've got some santana questions I did put matchbox twenty. I
You must have been swimming in it summer 98.
I don't even know if that was on. That song absolutely took over.
It was crazy.
I remember being at the pool
and just being like,
no one's listening to anything but smooth.
Yeah.
Can we talk about something this week
and things that we probably don't need in life?
The Anthony Bourdain biopic.
Why don't we need that?
I'm seeing a lot of backlash.
I don't know if we need it yet.
It wasn't that long ago he killed himself. I think we could
maybe get a little distance from it before monetizing it. How long has it been? If I had
to guess, four years? About that time? I don't know. There's takes out there. One of the takes
I saw was that we already have hundreds of episodes of him
like showing his life on camera.
I don't agree with that take really, because like, I mean,
it was, if you think that he was just traveling around
with the camera crew, just doing whatever he wanted,
like you're mistaken.
Well, the one I saw, people would be like,
if you knew Anthony, I didn't, turns out.
If you knew him, he would hate this.
He would not want this done.
Oh really?
Yeah. Okay.
I don't even know who Dominic Sessa, the guy who's been cast to play him is. Are you guys
familiar with this guy's work? No.
I think it's a losing battle with Bourdain people. Bourdain people can skew hard-o. I think anyone
in the chef community can skew hard-o when it comes to being protective of the chef community.
Does that make sense? Sure.
Chefs are chef people.
Now I don't mean that in any other way
of just like chefs, there's like a code among chefs
it feels like, we're chefs.
No, we don't have to worry about that.
We're chefs.
Bourdain just has such a fan base that's like so about him
that like there's never gonna,
they could choose an unknown and he could crush it
and it probably still wouldn't do that well.
Beloved figure.
Dominic Sessa has less than 100,000 followers on Instagram.
I looked up, I just looked him up.
I don't recognize him.
I've never seen him before.
He's got a-
He looks like he can play the part.
He's got a cool look.
He looks cool.
Yeah.
He looks like you see him like smoking cigarettes and like,
oh, that's about it.
That's all I can really come up with.
But just, he passes the eye test for me
of people that are playing it.
Like, Barrett and I talked about it briefly
on retail therapy, but like,
Timothée Chalamet getting casted as Bob Dylan,
like, what are we doing?
I get he's like one of the most famous actors
going right now, but-
I can kind of see that, actually.
He's too, yeah, he's not gruff enough.
They can gruff him up, though.
I know, but I just have concerns.
Yeah.
Oh, look at him gruff him up.
Not gruff him up.
Oh, gruff him up a little bit.
Yes, this dude's got a little star power, star quality to him. I did watch that show occasionally,
the Bourdain show, and it was so good. He had an aura. He's got it. He had it. I never got as into
it as I wanted to. Insane skibbity riz.ity res. I've been saying that I wish you hadn't said that. What
do you mean? There's no video doesn't skibbity. You can't clip
it. I don't even know what skibbity means. I don't either.
I know it's a word that the young ones are saying I thought
it was usually paired with like skibbity Ohio res. I feel like
that's an oxymoron. What does skibbity mean?
Skibbity is a word that has multiple meanings,
including a slang term in a reference
to a viral YouTube series.
It can mean bad or cool, depending on the context.
It's all about context, Dylan.
You understand what you're saying?
Yeah, I do.
It can also be used to start a conversation
that's filled with quote unquote brain rot,
which is slang for when someone's brain turns into mush
from obsessing over something.
See, this is what, go back to fifth grade,
you're at the roller rink
and you're standing there with those chicks,
you should have just hit them with the skibbity
instead of whatever dance you did.
Yeah.
What dance could you possibly call?
Instead of slinking away,
I don't even know. Snapping your fingers,
rolling backwards from these girls.
It wasn't like I chose like a specific dance move.
I think my shoulders just started to roll
and I was like, just feeling the music.
And I was like, this is fucking so awkward and terrible.
So I just skated out of there.
The hottest girls in school standing in like a semi-circle
while Dylan rolls up on his roller skates,
hits a quick robot and then slinks away.
It was not good.
Not a good look.
I like that you just pulled your parachute
and got out of there.
Well, see y'all later.
All right.
I didn't even say bye.
I just fucking bladed off into the sunset.
There goes Dylan skating off.
Skating out of this awkward situation.
I think I took the next Friday off.
I didn't go back.
You gotta give it some time.
Yeah.
Maybe take a sick day or two of school.
My buddy was hitting on a girl one time
and he buckled. We were
watching I was watching it go down because I was pretty
invested. I wanted it I wanted it to happen. I liked both of
the people a lot. And it's lived with him forever. He just
buckled in the conversation and said, So do you do you like Katy
Perry? Oh, God, because there was a Katy Perry song playing
and we were like, dude, you could not have butchered
that more than you just did.
I've got one that sticks with me outside the movie theater.
And it was like, this is ninth grade,
a young lady who like I had known for a while.
It was known that we like both thought each other
were like cute.
And we saw her outside the movies
and she was with her girls and I was with the boys.
And I went over and her name was her name was Jody.
And I just like, Oh, Jody, I said it just like that.
I go, Jody and she like, look like smiled, like excited.
I was talking to her and I just kind of was not and I go,
so and that's all I had.
Oh, no.
She was like, hey, and then that was it. And I just walked off because I was like, oh, and I all I had. And she was like, hey. And then that was it.
And I just walked off,
because I was like, oh fuck.
And I had no follow up.
Dude, that's so skippity.
It was total Ohio.
That was Ohio, man.
Poor Ohio.
Ninth grade was a tough year.
Ninth grade?
Ninth grade, the hormones are kicking in,
the skin's not great.
Ninth grade is when all your female friends
just don't care about you because you can't drive yet.
You know, the hang out, the older guys,
you are low totem pole.
Oh yeah.
You're trash.
Yeah, trash.
I had oily skin and I was always self-conscious about it
and like, it was just like awkward, awkward time.
I was wearing like really baggy Abercrombie stuff, which turns out like would hit now.
Yeah, you were on it. You're good, dude.
But back then it was like, what?
What is that?
I was just on my ish.
Freshman chicks are the worst.
They're and we even had our own school.
We had a ninth grade school. Oh, we did.
Completely separate.
That blows my mind.
We were like nine grade schools. Oh, we didn't. Completely separate. That blows my mind when people had ninth grade schools.
Yeah, we were co-mingling like crazy.
It was honestly, as far as bad behavior, the ninth grade school was the biggest problem.
Dude, every, I'm not kidding, ninth grade, freshman year, my cousin was a senior, ripped
up star athlete every single day. Every single day, I'd be walking down the hall
at some point and he would pick me up
and put me in a trash can.
That's so mean.
Every single day.
I respect it.
But I think I'm better off for it.
I respect it.
Like I think I'm a better person
because that was happening to me.
Put you in a trash can.
Trash can every single day.
That's good.
I mean, dude, Dave, you were nice with it.
I was hitting that shit.
If I was Jody and you walked up to me and said,
Jody, sup, I'd probably hit you with the sub back.
It was, I mean, it was such a bombing.
I just, and I knew it.
It wasn't like a, how did that go?
How do you think this went?
It was like immediate, like, well, go back to the car
because you had one friend who had his driver's license, got in the car and they immediate like, well, go back to the car because you had one friend who
has driver's license got in the car and they're like, dude, how'd that go?
Not good.
Not good.
It actually went really, really bad.
Imagine outside of me throwing up or shitting my pants, it went pretty bad.
I was talking to some girls waiting in line to get into Ricks in Ann Arbor at one point
and I tried to convince the girls
that my buddy had just gotten done
filming a real world season.
It's like, no, dude, he was just filming it.
Like he's just back.
Like we're celebrating now
because we haven't hung out in a while.
And my buddy was going along with it.
And like one of the girls looked at me and was just like,
even if it is true, that's kind of embarrassing.
Like no one watches that anymore.
How am I not impressed by that?
And I was just like, what?
Like, are you really?
Like, I thought I had this.
I thought it was the perfect lie.
That is a wonderful lie.
Like how do you not fall for it?
How do you not confirm?
What year was this?
Wait a minute.
Like what era?
We were probably, I think we were 23
because I think my buddies had just graduated
and we're like living in the area and stuff.
And so I think it was one of those situations.
True story. They so I think it was one of those situations. Two story.
They didn't buy it.
I thought it was a great icebreaker
if you're gonna lie to someone
to start off your relationship.
Nobody likes you when you're 23.
Exactly, exactly.
Could we talk about a little thing
that happened in New Zealand real quick
before we get to this weekend in Fon?
Yeah, what happened?
There was a food bank and they gave out a bunch of candy.
That sounds nice. Sure. Sounds nice.
Turns out the candy had a bunch of meth in it. Oh, no. What do
you do? What do you do if you get home from work and you
realize that your son has gotten into your meth candy? You put
them to work. You give them like a vacuum cleaner to take apart
and put back together. Says a charity working with homeless
people in Auckland, New Zealand, unknown they distributed candies
filled with a potentially lethal dose of methamphetamine
and its food parcels after the sweets were donated
by a member of the public.
Did this guy know?
I would probably try meth candy.
The guy who donated it?
I would do one single meth candy.
I would try it.
Is this like an elaborate prank?
I would do one single meth candy.
No, you wouldn't.
Yes, I would.
I absolutely would.
One?
Dude, I've done Adderall, took a molecule away.
It's all the same shit.
I'm meth-ing you like candy.
Yeah, but it's meth.
It's a stigma, I get it.
I wouldn't tell people.
You probably know.
Yeah, I'm not gonna go around.
Actually, if I was on meth,
I'd probably tell everyone I was on meth.
Isn't that the one where if you take enough of it,
your teeth will fall out.
Yeah.
You know somebody who's been on Adderall
for a long, long time.
Do they look like that, too?
No, not always, but some people like you can tell.
There's like the teeth.
I don't I don't know if I could identify it, but there's always like the term like Adderall teeth.
I shouldn't say that because probably, I don't know, 70% of people
I know, they're on Adderall their entire lives.
I wish I was like everyone's on it.
Never been prescribed that they knew I would abuse it.
Do a lot of people take Adderall still?
I think so. Vyvanse, things of that nature it. Do a lot of people take Adderall still? I think so.
Vyvanse, things of that nature.
How did people get through college before Adderall?
I don't know.
I didn't do Adderall until after college.
And when I did it in college, it was recreational.
I didn't do Adderall until like my junior year of college.
And then after college, I've taken it like twice since.
I will never take it again.
So I actually probably need to just retract the meth statement. I'll take it again. I'll take it again. So I actually probably need to just retract them the meth statement
I'll take it again. I'll take it again. I'm fine. I loved I would worst hangover I've ever had
Yeah
but I would do it like cuz I drink a hundred if I was on a bachelor party in
Like Cabo San Lucas and we're all heading to the golf course with really bad hangovers and someone's doling that out
Like I'm absolutely taking one. I guess I've never taken it like recreationally
I take it when I just need to get shit done. Wow, and I didn't know we were doing NF Confessions today.
Yeah, what the fuck are you doing?
I'm sorry.
Can Randy edit that out, where is he?
Yeah, Randy, edit that out.
No, I don't know.
I've never taken it hung over either.
I don't know how that would affect me.
That's when I knew I got old.
When I was like 26,
I remember someone gave me one at a party
and I put it in my pocket
so I could cure my hangover with it the next day at work.
And it worked.
Like it was great.
It was a really good hack.
Yeah.
I've never taken it and drank at the same time.
It's like, should I take it tonight and want to blow my brains out in the morning or should
I take it in the morning and be really productive all day?
I don't even know if it's like the Adderall that gives you the bad hangover.
It's just the fact that it levels you out so much that before you know it, you look down
and you've had 16 beers and you're like,
oh, it's like 3.30 AM and I feel fine.
I took it at a wedding one time
and ended up talking to people for so long
that I never even drank.
Like I never actually made it to the bar
to get another drink.
And suddenly I was three hours deep
and I was like, oh, I'm sober.
I'm just sober on Adderall right now.
You just pitched a bunch of business ideas. Yeah. I started a bunch of companies in the bathroom.
Will's got like four LLCs. Will's just starting shell companies.
I got a guy. Yeah, that sounds sick. I got a guy who'll set it up for you.
Yeah. Let me retract the meth statement, but also the fact that someone's out there making meth candy,
I love that. I respect that. You got to keep it away from kids.
I want to go to New Zealand.
It's going to give all the moms even more reason to worry about around Halloween time. It's like, you gotta, you gotta take your candy and get it X-ray.
There's a caravan of meth candy coming here.
And people are like, no one's going to give away their drugs for free.
Calm down, ma'am.
This guy did though.
This guy actually did. That's why it's like a...
They're like professionally packaged in this. Like who's professionally packaging meth candy?
New Zealand seems like it has strict drug laws.
Dude, they're way off on that.
They either have like insanely strict ones or like just none.
Yeah.
I think all this New Zealand talk, I'm thinking I'm gonna go to that Australian cafe
for lunch today.
What Australian cafe?
The one down the street.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I'm talking about.
Proud Mary's dude.
If you want a $13 cup of coffee,
boy do I have a coffee shop for you.
It is good coffee.
It's good coffee.
Speaking of.
The menu is confusing. Oh, we got
Dave. The coffee menu. We'll have Randy take this out, Dave. Yeah. Dave's going to do a pee-pee.
I don't have any jazz music queued up on here. I don't have any jazz music queued up for this.
I was going to queue up to Dave Tinky music. So we just jump into this weekend in fun and by the
time it gets to Dave. Yeah, I guess we can. He's just ruining everything. Bro, let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening.
I'd like to turn off.
Bro, there's a crazy event happening.
Let's just go have fun and then go.
David Ward, bro, let's go.
It's always his. This Weekend in Fun presented by our friends over at Robak.
Robak.com, code WASHED 20 gets you 20% off your order. Dylan,
hypothetically speaking, have we received anything impressive from Roeback over the last,
oh, I don't know, 24 hours? Yeah, they have a new licensing deal with the University of Texas. So,
they sent us some hoodies and some polos that have the burnt orange and the longhorn emblem on there
and they are certified dough.
They're an absolute delight.
The polos have just like little Longhorns on them,
but they also have one of just a hand illustrated
Darryl K Royal Stadium.
It's just a beautiful situation.
We found ourselves in here.
Obviously Texas isn't the only school
they're doing this for.
So be on the lookout.
They might be dropping your school soon.
If y'all have that skippity Ohio State Riz,
I will say some of my favorite branded team stuff
is the Ohio State quarters up.
Like it's beautiful.
Yeah.
It's a beautiful quarters up.
Yeah.
Washed 20 gets you 20% off.
There's nobody out there.
Resson out there?
No, when I didn't see him,
I was afraid I was gonna get T-Boned by a Mondo,
but he's not even in there. Yeah. T-Boned by a Mondo, but he's not even in there.
Yeah.
T-boned by a Mondo.
Dude, the day that the Mondo dude was getting the world record
in the Olympics and they were just yelling Mondo on the screen and it was just me and Brett sitting
in there while you guys recorded too much dip, he was so annoyed with how I would laugh every
single time. It wasn't even intentional. It's just hard to not laugh when you hear the word Mondo
anymore. We need to make something with the word Mondo on it. That's just hard to not laugh when you hear the word Mondo anymore. We need to make a,
we need to make something with the word Mondo on it.
That's a fun one to explore.
I'm just gonna do that.
I'm just gonna do that behind the scenes and launch it.
Is it just gonna say Mondo or something else too?
I think you might just say it's Mondo time
and like the biggest font I can get on a shirt.
Do the Mondalorian.
Oh yeah, forgot about the Mondalorian.
Yeah, that's good, that's good.
Hey Dylan.
What are you getting into this weekend?
Thanks for asking.
Friday, not a big day, got Parks gonna chill
and maybe step out, see a movie or go out to dinner.
What movies are out right now?
He's seen all of them, so.
Twisters?
Or is he scared of Twisters?
His mom took him to see Twisters
and he said it was very scary.
Good for him though, facing his fear.
Probably go swim there or something Friday.
Oh, I'm going to meet the teacher Friday.
We're gonna find out who his teacher is.
Did you like his last teacher?
I can't remember.
She was wonderful, yeah.
Good teachers.
Shout out to her.
Dude, I didn't realize how much drama goes on
in elementary schools and stuff
when it comes to like teachers and classes
and stuff like that.
Is there a lot of drama?
I don't know.
Fritz was put in a class without like any of his friends
and suddenly like there was all this discussion around
like every mom being like, well wait, I'm not happy either.
Okay.
And then suddenly it was like, oh God.
There was some of that last year.
I remember we found out who the teacher is today.
We meet him or her on Friday.
What if his teacher's rod building? Oh no. Oh no.
Yeah, I don't know.
He's going to not learn anything and just go on white water rafting trips the entire
time.
He's just chilling on the desk throwing paper airplanes.
Saturday little family time. Going to either go to Meanwhile and let the kids run around
and play.
Good move.
While we drink a frosty boy or two.
It's gotta be early though, it's gonna be hot.
They have a nitro cold brew on tap there?
Yes, you might see my kids there Saturday morning.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's a standing crew that goes.
All right, that'd be great.
You guys just walk around, you just stand there?
Do me a favor, don't talk to my wife.
Why do you just stand there with your crew dog?
It's a bread situation, we're just stand up.
Is this like Micah's standing tea time?
Is Dylan gonna show up and they're not gonna know
what he's talking about?
Big, big day on Sunday.
Dave and I are going to Greenville, South Carolina.
Dude, you crushed that.
We're going to Greenville, South Carolina.
Greenville, South Carolina. Maybe in a prompt to one. Yeah, Greenville, South Carolina. Dude, you crushed that. We're going to Greenville, South Carolina. Greenville, South Carolina.
Maybe in a prompt to one.
Yeah, Greenville meet up when?
Just us and three people.
We are going to the BMW, what do you call it?
The driving experience.
Speed manufacturing.
I'm gonna call it the Speed Lab.
Their headquarters in the United States.
The BMW headquarters are gonna get a tour of the factory.
We're gonna do hot laps and we're gonna do some performance driving, I believe. The BMW headquarters are gonna need to get a tour of the factory, we're gonna do hot laps,
then we're gonna do some performance driving, I believe.
Something really cool like that.
I'm really excited for it.
They're having us out there.
So thanks to BMW for that.
It's gonna be a lot of fun.
We're there for two nights, come back Tuesday.
I bet Dave beats you on the hot laps.
There's not a chance.
Time-wise.
I've seen Dave drive.
I'd say we should make a bet,
but I don't know if that's gonna happen.
We can make a bet.
Yo, yeah, cause you're gonna miss.
There's no way Dave's gonna drive faster than me.
It's not really fair.
Cause if it's like a red light, green light situation,
like Dylan's at a little bit of a disadvantage.
Right.
I don't think that's gonna be that kind of situation.
I think it's gonna be me smoking your ass on the track.
Okay, buddy, we'll see.
You don't even drift, so.
You don't drift? Nope, he doesn't. We don't even drift. So you don't drift.
Nope, he doesn't.
This dude doesn't drift.
He came and drove stick.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. I'll show you.
All right, fucker.
Anyway, I'm so glad I'm going to drive to it.
Brett is also going to be with us.
The bullet Mondo himself.
I bet bullets sneaky fast on the track.
Yeah, there's no way.
Anyway, that concludes my weekend. Okay. Dave. Oh, Dave's
got the big one. Yeah. Uh I'm actually leaving town tomorrow.
Um where are you going Dave? Hey Dave. Yeah. Where are you
going? Um I'll be flying in to Chicago tomorrow.
Chicago meetup. I'll be renting my car. I would love to do Chicago.
I wish I had another day in Chicago. I would love to go eat. Leave today. More meals.
That's just, it does. The family thing really.
Here, I'll vote to upgrade you to first class on a flight today out. Yeah. Okay. Thank you.
Is Dylan, is Dylan, is Dylan friend enough to do that for you?
I can't believe I didn't get that burger that you got.
I want to try it so bad.
I should have got that.
It was weird. I didn't know how to push you guys.
I didn't want to push everyone too much to go somewhere.
And you know.
Well, it didn't, it just didn't work.
He's like, hey, we've got a reservation for X amount.
And I was like, well, we got like 10 people.
Why we didn't have 10 people?
We didn't have a reservation. We just walked up.
Yeah, we should.
We just walked up and sat at the bar.
We were in the middle of the boardwalk. Whatever. We were doing hot boy walks with Dib and Dots.
I hadn't had Dib and Dots in a long time. So good. I've never had them before. I can't wait for my
first time. On the boardwalk. That's insane. Yeah. They're so good. Then that Segway tour guy just murked us. Even though Randy got mad when we said that.
Does it taste like, is it little scoops of ice cream
in your mouth all individually?
It's a texture point.
Yeah, but like what's the texture?
Little tiny, it's like little pellets
of ice cream in your mouth.
But when they start to melt is the prime eating time.
You don't want it fully melted, but you want like the bottom.
So with each scoop, you get a mixture juxtaposition.
Exactly.
Okay. It's a texture play.
Can you buy this other places
or do you have to go to a dip and dots?
I think you can go, I think they sell them at HEB.
Probably. Oh really?
I think so. Oh, okay.
I'll remedy this then.
I thought you had, I was gonna say,
I've never seen a dip and dots on the street.
If you can find mint chocolate chip, get that.
I kind of think mint chocolate chip is a little overrated
in terms of people's like favorite flavors.
I agree with that.
Okay.
The Dippin' Dots mint chocolate chip is elite.
Whenever I hear someone say that mint chocolate chip
is their favorite ice cream flavor,
I just kind of automatically like think like,
okay, you're not trying very hard.
I agree.
You're not going that deep in the flavors.
No dude, it's elite. So I not going that deep in the flavors. No, dude, it's a leap.
So I'm going to find Chicago. What are you doing in Chicago? Well, not much. Renting a car with
some buddies and we're going to drive to Wisconsin, Lake Como, Geneva area, and we're
going to do our fantasy draft weekend. We're playing golf and we're going to be there until
Sunday morning. And then we'll be taking that car we're going to be there until Sunday morning.
And then we'll be taking that car
and I'll be going back to the airport.
And then I'll be getting on a plane
and going to Greenville, Alabama.
Greenville, South Carolina.
Greenville, South Carolina.
Greenville, South Carolina.
Yeah, that one does a, that's a recent one.
Otherwise, here's the deal.
I typically don't like to have, wouldn't schedule it this way. But this was a the BMW
thing was too too good to pass on. And like we love those guys.
And I'm very, very excited to just make Dylan look like a dumb
ass Dylan's gonna look like a bitch on that track. I'm gonna
fuck it. Dylan's gonna be behind me. I'm gonna throw up a
banana peel and spin out on my head. I'm with that. Okay, I can't wait. I'm going to hit him with that. It's a.
OK, I can't wait. I'm going to do the thing where the lighting bullet and you shrink
and I run your ass over.
He's already tiny.
Oh, like KJ coming through.
Mm hmm.
Anyway, that's what I'm going to do to Dylan on the track from there.
Yeah, we're going to going to do that.
Coming back Tuesday evening.
It's going to be a blast. It's going to be a lot.
I'm honestly not dreading the travel. I'm only dreading the packing. It's the two. It's the
juxto Dylan. Sure. Of the golf trip and then straight into the work related fun trip. I'm
jealous of your Wisconsin. Oh dude. It's not going to be annoying for you to have to bring your golf
bag to South Carolina. I know. I was trying to think of like a ship stick situation to ship them
home would be. You should do that. I know. I don't. think if like a ship stick situation to ship them home would be.
You should do that.
I know, I don't.
Are y'all part of Stick Nation by the way?
What's that? Help me out here.
I follow an Instagram account now
that's just people finding sticks
and like showing how dope their stick is that they found
and they're called Stick Nation.
My son would love it.
Dude, the sticks that these people are finding,
my two favorite accounts going right now
are that account, Stick Nation, my two favorite accounts going right now are
that account, Stick Nation,
and then also I have a guy who I've started following
recently who skips stones.
Oh, I'm familiar with his game.
Yeah.
He put up a 50 spot the other day
and it was just like, yeah, dude, I get it.
That's pretty crazy.
50 skips.
I'll send you the next one that comes across my timeline,
dude.
It's really impressive stuff.
I fancy myself to be a pretty good rock skipper
and this guy's elite.
So yeah, it's gonna be golf and then driving.
The two things I love more than anything.
Will.
Wild weekend for your boy.
Actually, I'm very excited.
I'm going to a restaurant on Friday night
that I haven't been to in a long, long time.
Kanji.
I think Dave's recent trip to Kanji might've inspired this,
but I was notified by my wife
that a reservation has been made.
I'm gonna eat jerk chicken to my heart's desire.
I'll be drinking exactly two red stripes after I have one cocktail to set the
scene. I'm excited though. It's been a minute since I've had some good jerk chicken. Saturday
morning, you guys know what it is, first weekend of EPL, which is why Dave's going to go draft his
fantasy Premier League team in Chicago this weekend. Yeah, I'm going to get him bape.
Get him bape, dude. Get him bape. Yeah, I'm excited. inbope. Get inbope, dude, get inbope. Yeah, I'm excited.
I'm excited to sit on the couch and do absolutely nothing
for the morning and just watch some footy
for the first time in a while, some English footy.
After that, I've been talking some booty chatter
about possibly doing some at-home fajitas on Saturday.
It's been a minute.
I would just like to get on the
grill, you know? Fajitas is a great move on the grill and so I think it's gonna
happen. Who's gonna be in attendance for that? I'm not really sure. It's kind of
in its infancy right now. Okay. You guys have any takes on what I should, kind of
fajitas I should do? I'm thinking about throwing some shrimp on the Bobby. Do it.
That sounds excellent. Think about doing steak and shrimp.
What's stopping you?
Don't do chicken and shrimp.
They're just the grocery run
that I'm gonna have to do at some point.
I don't know, chicken, I'm not very good at grilling chicken.
It's never juicy enough for me.
Yeah, people, it's easy to overcook
because you're really worried about the salmonella.
Sure.
I've never been good at cooking chicken. It's very easy to cook. Rarely
rarely do I take a chicken breast off something and think I crushed that. Yeah. It's usually a
little tough and then what breaking news Netflix has renewed the gentleman for season two. Just
wow. Good. Did you watch it? You watched it. No, I haven't. It's good. I'll test it out. I apologize. I'll dabble.
Sunday, I'm doing something that's long overdue.
On Sunday, I will be collecting a bunch of my old records
and I'll be bringing them to Waterloo Records
in Austin, Texas and selling them to Waterloo Records.
I have some records that I've purchased.
They might've been, you know,
maybe some knee jerk purchases here.
And I'm gonna get rid of some to make some more room.
Maybe get a little-
You gotta get to Frankie Valley.
Gotta hit that Frankie Valley before he passes.
You gotta listen to a lot of Frankie Valley
before this man dies.
I mean, you'll still be able to listen like after.
No.
Music doesn't die with them.
Post-humously.
When Cormac McCarthy died, yeah.
My buddy had told me for years leading up
to Cormac McCarthy's death.
And he was like, read some Cormac McCarthy before he dies.
Just read it while he's still alive
and just know that you're reading
like the greatest writer on earth
while they're still alive.
Just read it now.
Then he died, texted my buddy
and he just texted me back and goes,
you didn't read one page, did you?
I'm like, no.
I feel like you would not like it.
I've been told that his quote unquote dense pros.
Maybe jump right in with blood meridian.
Yeah, I was going to say, should I raw dog blood meridian?
All the pretty horses.
If you want to get really into his stuff, his archives and papers are at the Alkec
at San Marcos, the Texas State Library. Really? That's cool. It's a good library. That's cool.
How about that? I don't know. I need a book to read on this vacation.
Don't do Blood Meridian. No, I'm not going to. No, I'm not going to hit that vacation Cormac.
That seems a little heavy. That seems like a winter drinking whiskey
in the dark move.
Yeah, I think that plays.
Okay.
Dylan's Googling, who is Cormac McCarthy?
I Googled blood meridians, I'm not familiar.
Is there a movie, does he have any movies?
Like, have they- No Country?
I think they've optioned certain things that he's written,
like they're ready to get made,
but I don't think they've actually made any movies.
Or I truly don't know.
Oh, they definitely, I don't know.
Or what was I thinking?
No Country for Old Men?
Yeah. Did he do that?
Is that what I just- I'm just showing how unread I am. We need to get out of here before we sound even more dumb. What was I thinking? No Country for Old Men? Yeah. Did he do that?
Is that what I just...
I'm just showing how unread I am.
We need to get out of here before we sound even more dumb.
We can't have these dumb folks think we're smart.
No, we're right.
We're right, we're smart boys.
Bye.
Smart boys.
I'm smart.
I like it the way it is. Thanks for watching guys!
