Starting point is 00:00:00 all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from the lodge my name's will defreeze my right david ruff lovely day to podcast will oh man what a day a little humid we got pissed on last night. Absolutely just destroyed by piss. Was it overnight rain? No. Okay, I was going to say, I slept through it. It was early evening. Dude, some of the biggest raindrops I've seen at our apartment.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Big boy drops. One of the extreme or severe weather blogs I follow had tweeted earlier in the day, Looks like all the rain is east of 35. Unfortunate. No rain for Austin today. Nope. And they had to amend that tweet. Yep.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Because we got pissed on. Yeah, the rain yesterday was, hey, Parks, let's go stand on the front porch and watch it rain rain. Dude, that's a chill dad-son move. Oh, I love that. I love when heavy rain hits. I always just go outside and uh and check it out did y'all did y'all yes you guys made it there yeah one of my like i can't believe
Starting point is 00:01:11 i'm saying this but like one of my favorite days when we were at lily's wedding was the sunday after when we just kind of sat at that at the house the entire time and just watched the tropical storm just like kind of just chilling there. Watching rain come in is so tight. Covered porch. Game over. Get out of here. Game over. I was supposed to take Randy for a walk, and he was pretty bummed when it started just unloading. Poor Randy.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Yeah, he knows, too. He realizes what that means when he hears that sound. He knew that you blew it and you should have taken him earlier? Well, we did go earlier, but we were trying to take him for a third time. Okay. Three a days. Yeah. That's bad boy shit.
Starting point is 00:01:51 That's tight. Rosie knows that it's raining, but she doesn't really care. She likes being wet, so she'll just kind of chill out there and just run around for a while. It's not fun. Follow Randy and me's. Randy and I's? Randy and me's. Me at DCarterRuff on Snap. I'm back. Add me on the group.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Snap. I was slow on that. I didn't realize you were going to. You're still on Snap? I'm back on Snap. You're on Snap? I'm back contributing. If you sent me a message in the last three months, I have not checked it, and I probably won't.
Starting point is 00:02:26 It's just too many. Can I ask you a question about you being off Snapchat? Are you not using it for the last few months? Yeah. Have you still been getting notifications? No. Okay. Fuck no.
Starting point is 00:02:37 I feel like if you're on Snapchat now, it's like the people who are tweeting you have like four followers. Dude, no one's going to see this. Yeah, but— What are you doing? Okay, we have to keep this. Like, dude, no one's going to see this. Yeah, but... What are you doing? Okay, we have to keep this in mind though, Dylan. Like, we don't use it anymore and we probably had more opens because like we...
Starting point is 00:02:51 I mean, people were adding me from Grand X days because it was in my bio and stuff. So like my opens were taking like a huge dive. For a lot of people who just like are doing it to 30 people anyway, they're just going from 30 to 20. I don't think they really care. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Like, business-wise, I don't think I'll ever use Snapchat again. It's like for tight friend groups, basically, is what you're saying. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Here's why I like it. It's like a Finsta.
Starting point is 00:03:14 It's like your Finsta for... People get wild on there. Like, oh, look, we're shotgunning beers on a Thursday afternoon. Or walking your dog. People are posting people are abusing instagram stories and i think if they had the snapchat alternative or if they had like
Starting point is 00:03:34 a community on there it would help so i am i am trying to raise awareness for snapchat this is not sponsored i do not own any equity in Snap, but I am going to be putting stuff on there that I would not put on Instagram, mainly because I've got my Instagram. I don't get really reckless with it. I have at DC rough. I put stuff on there knowing that there's people like I went to high school with that don't really understand what I do. And I'm aware of that. We're on Snapchat. It's pretty much just listeners. So I can do all the bits I want and not feel like that I'm going to have to explain to someone who I haven't talked to in seven years like what I'm doing.
Starting point is 00:04:17 I think you and I are in the same boat in that I heavily overthink what I do on Instagram. Yeah, that's the reason I don't post much on there. I will think about posting something promotional, and sometimes I'll be like, man, I'll think about one specific person. I'm like, oh, they'd roast me for this right now. Yeah, it's funny how specific you get when you think about people. And it's like, why am I caring about this one person?
Starting point is 00:04:36 I know, it's stupid. It's dropping the world. You'd think that we'd be past that by now, but for me, I'm not. Snap, I stopped using Snap because it was just like, it got kind of overwhelming, and I wasn't looking at anybody else's stories ever yeah i stopped using snap once instagram instituted stories yeah because i was like well this is this is much doper and easier to use and better yeah but i'm going to try to do more randy content on there people like that like it at d carter ruff on twitter. People like that. Add me on the group. Add D. Carter Ruff on Twitter and Snap, for that matter.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Wow. Wow. You just stopped promoting SOB this morning. I love it, dude. At Will DeFreeze is following all those accounts. Add me on the group. Wow. Now's your time.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Now's your time. It's about to go away because we've got some programming notes. I'm not going to promote at D. Chiveree right now because y'all know where to find me already. C-H-E-V-E-R-E-R-E. Abney on the Grom. That's the last Abney on the Grom thing for the day. Maybe. I was never intro'd, by the way.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Hold on, Dylan. That drop, I did say previously that that drop got on my nerves. I'm back into liking that drop. There was just a two-week stretch where I was like, shut up. This kid didn't get... The actual clip didn't get on your nerves. It was the idea of the kid saying it that got on your nerves. His just dumb face.
Starting point is 00:05:51 His delivery is so money. Actually, he was the sweet kid. It was the other kid that, I'm going to fuck with you kid. It was kind of smug. That kid sucks. Lil' Echo. Dude, honestly. How do you know that name so easily?
Starting point is 00:06:00 I've gotten to the point that they're both the same to me at this point. No, no, no. Dude, Lil' Echo is way worse than this kid. The Grom kid is tight. Oh, is Lil Echo the one that clearly needs to wash his hair? Yes. Just one. He's doing the Brett plan, but he's not executing it as well.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Right. It's like, no, you actually have to do other stuff to it. You can't just not wash your hair multiple times a month. You guys got Instagram? He was perfect. He was perfect. The way he talks man i listen that kid talk all day i miss him who's so the other kid is the one that we got the the dylan yeah yeah a little tick tock was it little wasn't it little esco esco little esco he told you you

Sometimes, if you're just chilling at home, you can watch these things on YouTube. You don't have to listen to us anymore.
Starting point is 00:07:30 You can see our sweet, sweet faces just on your television screen. Just our hot, handsome, chiseled faces. But tomorrow, on the stream room,
Starting point is 00:07:36 we're doing rounders. Just an absolute classic that does not get enough talk. It's going to make me want to get the poker chips out, man. I know. I'm not slinging them again. Dude, not me.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Not in these uncertain times. You're out the game. Can't be touching chips. You're right, but how much fun would it be to get a squad card game together? Let's just do an e-game. Man, it's just fun. An e-game. That sounds terrible. There's people doing that. I know, that just sounds
Starting point is 00:08:04 miserable. I used to play hella online poker, like too much. Yeah. When I lived at the fraternity house, my computer, somehow there was a couple guys who didn't have them. One guy, I'm not going to name him. He lived there. You like to smoke cigs. He would just come down to my room. I'd wake up for class, and he would be in there playing online poker.
Starting point is 00:08:23 On your laptop? No, I had a desktop. I'm old so not as old as dylan but um nine months yeah you know uh so i would just wake up to for class and i was like oh what's up i don't want to say his name cool dude he was i mean i love the guy sweet guy you should have made him like pay for it kid i don't know who you're talking about why didn't you make him pay you should have taken like pay for it. Sweet kid. I don't know who you're talking about. Why didn't you make him pay? You should have taken 1% of the earnings. He was kind of a legend. But then it got out of control.
Starting point is 00:08:56 People were coming in to use my computer in between classes. And you're the germ guy, too. People were on their Facebooks. They were probably on mine, probably on message boards. It just got out of control. Oh, I know who it is. Yeah. Johnny Ballgame? Oh, wait, maybe I don't.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Springer. Oh, yeah, Springer. Okay. I just named him. He's in one of my fantasy leagues still. Really? Yeah. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:09:17 I haven't seen him. He lives in Austin. Love the guy. Nice kid. Man. Anyway. Coffee. Smoking.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Also, go check out other podcasts on the Watch Media Network Club. Cool Mail-In, Sunday Scaries. Get in the network. We know you're out there looking for content other days. We're putting out content six days a week. Because, as you know, Saturdays. Saturdays are for the boys. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:09:40 No, Saturdays. Saturdays are for the boys. Yeah, exactly. Man, when are we going to talk Chase Rice? Because I am sour on Chase Rice right now. Dude, just wait. Dude, just wait. Holster your takes real quick.
Starting point is 00:09:54 I hate this guy. Can we talk about, instead of talking about something you hate, can we talk about something we love? Oh, yeah. Is this about Crossroad? Yeah, major shots at Crossroad. These days we're all looking for new ways to stay fit while we're spending more time at home. Cardio machines aren't exactly motivating motivating and the cost of home gym equipment
Starting point is 00:10:07 can add up fast. And guess what? We found a cool new different way to get a great workout for a fraction of the cost. It's called crossrope, the sleek weighted jump rope system that makes working out at home fun. If you have a heartbeat or heart rate tracking device, I challenge you to do some cross rope and monitor it because the heavy
Starting point is 00:10:25 one will spike your heart rate. Oh my gosh. Big time. I was using it for some high intensity training, Dave. You hear about this thing? H-I-I-T. You hear about this HIIT thing? Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:10:35 It's serious, man. Like Dave said, it'll spike your heart rate. It also just like, it burns your upper body because of the weighted rope. You feel it in your shoulders. It's the best, dude. Cool off for a few minutes, you go right back in. That's where the interval part comes in. They've got the one that's not heavy,
Starting point is 00:10:49 and it's just a nice, solid jump rope to have. Yeah, these things are quality, too. That's the one where you can start really getting loco with it. Yeah. Moving your feet, shuffling. Like you're training for a big boxing match or something. Yeah. You know, Mike Tyson status.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Just like Tyson. They're tight. Yeah, they are tight. And if you're short on time, no worries. CrossRub lets you get a killer full-body workout in just 30 minutes. It combines the intense cardio workout of jumping rope with a full-body resistance training so you get strong and stay healthy at home or anywhere else. And I will say, these things are nice.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Very, very nice. I was like, I opened the box. I was like, are you kidding me? It's a high-quality jump rope. There's serious quality on these. Very, very nice. I was like, I opened the box. I was like, are you kidding me? It's a high-quality jumper. There's serious quality on these. Oh, yeah. I wish they would take the handles and make nunchucks out of them. That'd be cool.
Starting point is 00:11:32 They look like they could be chucks. That'd be cool. I mean, as you know, these are durable steel ropes with ergonomic handles. I get why you would want that. If you have a nunchuck, you want it to be ergonomic. Of course. And the patented fast clip system for swapping ropes. Rope weight's fast.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Just real easy to do. You can either get their Get Lean or Get Strong sets, depending on your fitness goals, or get the best value with the Get Fit bundle.

Starting point is 00:12:24 That's Crossrope.com slash Circling Back. This hit the TL, I think, Saturday night. I didn't see it until I woke up on Sunday morning, and I could not have been more happy. The tweet has since been deleted, but if you want to go check it out, you can see it at Circling Back Pod. And it took place at a restaurant. I wouldn't say it's near and dear to us.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Maybe to Dave a little bit more, but not me. I've only eaten there twice. There's a lot of layers to this story because this kind of went from roasting this guy's wife to roasting him. And then it just kind of turned into a Miko, a Miko Sina, just absolute libel fest on the Twitter. Yeah. And it also,
Starting point is 00:13:11 then it, then it just started getting memed and then it got memed. There's many, many elements here we need to discuss. This should probably just be a standalone pod. One thing I found funny, an emergency pod. We should have just ran to the studio yesterday morning.
Starting point is 00:13:23 One thing I found funny is I went to the Mikosina Twitter account to see what they had to say about it. They hadn't tweeted since March. Don't even know what's going on. Why would they? Why would they? They're going to sit there promoting a restaurant they can't open? You're going viral right now.
Starting point is 00:13:39 You don't even know it. So funny. So let me explain why Mik Casina is such a... Should we read the tweet first? Yes, yes, yes. All right, let me read the tweet. This is directed at Mi Casina underscore Tex-Mex. Mi Casina stands for my kitchen.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Yeah. That was some Spanish stuff for you guys out there. It says, My wife, date night after three plus months locked up on quarantine, waiting for shredded cheese as it's the only way she can eat fajitas. We've asked four people going on 18 minutes now, just unreal at the Allen, Texas location. We got to quit blaming hashtag COVID-19 for crappy service.
Starting point is 00:14:16 It's literally the only way to enjoy fajitas is with just a side of shredded cheese. She flat out can't eat it unless it has. Now how people are lactose intolerant? No, not her. She can only tolerate lactose. She's very tolerant. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:31 She's no lactose intolerant. She's poor service intolerant. Let me say this. The plate... So there's a photo. The photo is probably still out there, right? We could probably tweet this. I'm looking at it right now.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Oh, sweet, sweet. Yeah, you just read it. That'd be weird if you had that whole tweet memorized verbatim. The photo looks, there's two plates of shrimp fajitas. There's beef fajitas that look like they're cooked perfectly. There's also
Starting point is 00:14:56 a Mambo Taxi, Mi Casina's signature beverage, that has just not been touched. Yeah, she has not put any work into this Mambo Taxi. This completely torpedoed her entire dinner. I just... I don't... I mean, look, we've all been, like, hangry and pouty when you're getting bad service.
Starting point is 00:15:12 You kind of sit there, like... Yeah, Dylan, we know. You're like, oh, man, this sucks, whatever. But for him... Shredded cheese! But for him to, A, tweet about it and, like, complain and tag the restaurant or whatever, but to include a picture of his wife pouting is next level. What are you doing, man?
Starting point is 00:15:30 Dude, I might understand a tweet, but adding the photo of her just staring longingly at these fajitas. Just enjoy the fajitas. It's ridiculous. They look great. What do you expect to get from this tweet? What's the outcome here? Calm to me. So what's this guy's Twitter handle?
Starting point is 00:15:49 I don't mind plugging it. So I have to admit, Dave, I have to admit that the tweet that I found, I think they did this with a good intention. They cropped out his name. And I think it's because they didn't want people to keep piling on it. His name on there was a podcast. So he is an aspiring podcast entrepreneur. Which, hey, man, I respect that.
Starting point is 00:16:09 You got to respect it, right? That's what we do. He's part of the brethren right now. He's just out there doing content from Tex-Mex restaurants, but he's just doing the wrong kind. His podcast is called Opinionated Much. Hey, you know what? Opinionated Much. Oh. Hey, you know what? Lean into it, man.
Starting point is 00:16:36 If you looked at this guy's timeline like I did when I saw this because I had nothing else going on, I was like, oh, that's interesting. Two weeks prior, he was at the Gaylord Texan. You familiar with that? You'll probably take parks at some point. I've been there. Oh, you've been there. It is like a big family-friendly resort north of Dallas-Fort Worth, just north of Grapevine, right? This big ice production in the wintertime. They've got a big pool.
Starting point is 00:16:55 It's tight. I don't know what their situation is now. It's probably open and in some limited capacity. But he did the same thing to them, pitching about the service. This dude is one of those people. Do you see his Target tweet that he did? No. He them yeah bitching about the service this is one of those people did you see his target tweet that he did no he did a tweet at target too he bought something and target had had fixed a uh i don't know what you'd call it one of those like theft things onto it oh yeah yeah yeah and he said and he was complaining because it was still on there and
Starting point is 00:17:19 he couldn't get it off when he got home and then he he went back to target and they couldn't do it and he was just bitching about that and it's dude, if it is in your nature to like repeatedly complain publicly about service or companies or whatever, you're you're trash. And I hate you. Can I ask you a question? There are so many people who do this and I can't stand it whenever they do it. You have the most followers of all of us here. Yes. of all of us here yes have you ever had someone that you know whether it's a family member friend or whatever ask you to try to get this get something done
Starting point is 00:17:48 online like this because you have a checkmark and a lot of followers no I've had friends asked me to promote like positive things not nothing like this I've had a couple people ask me like hey like do you think you could get further if you tweeted this and I'm like not only will I not get further I don't really understand how this works it will also hurt my career because if this blows up everyone's going to be like why is will complaining about someone else's meal at this random restaurant and like somewhere that's like dude no people don't ask me for that i mean fully but i would turn them down of course what do you think about the move of uh making your wife into
Starting point is 00:18:22 a nationwide meme yeah the like why would you put your wife on blast like this like she looks she's clearly she's leaning against the wall pouting very upset like why would you why would you put this on social media i'd be more upset about the table placement it looks like they're just in a corner over here table yeah like i don't want the fire alarm behind your head i do appreciate that you can see a worker in the background and the dude's just crushing a mask. You can't see it on his polo, but it definitely has Mikasina embroidered onto it.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Oh yeah, dude. And Mikasina, let me get out in front of it. It is by no means the best Tex-Mex joint. It is not. It is. I personally, and I'm a little biased. Will, you've eaten it with me. I think it's good. Some people were saying it's awful.
Starting point is 00:19:06 I'm like, dude, it is not awful. If you go to the one in Highland Park Village, which I've been to a couple times, you'll see Aikman there with his family. You'll see Dirk there. You'll see random Dallas celebs there. I'm a big fan of the one in HPV. I've never been to any of them. Dude, it's HPV.
Starting point is 00:19:23 It stands for Highland Park Village. That means something else. Oh. But Will and i went when we did the uh raging bull raging bull whatever that was uh we went to the one in frisco the one at the at the star so it was really good but eating tex-mex at lunch i don't feel like my head's in the game it's yeah i'm not in tex-mex mode and yeah and the only thing that i can say about meina is that the food is not memorable to me. No. Whereas if I go to El Tiempo, I'm thinking about those fajitas for days after. El Tiempo, it is not.
Starting point is 00:19:56 It is comparable, though. I will say, for me, I think it's better than Matt's. But I think Matt's is a good comp. It's kind of like the Matt's of Dallas. There's multiple locations, though. But their salsa is good. comp. It's kind of like the Matt's of Dallas. There's multiple locations though, but like their salsa is good. The brisket tacos are kind of the go-to everything else is fine. It's, it's nothing to, it's nothing to meme your wife over. Is there anything, if you got to just, you know, hypothetically here, you're sitting at a tax
Starting point is 00:20:19 max restaurant and a plate of sizzling hot fajitas gets set in front of you. What is, what is the one thing that is going to stop you from eating those sizzling fajitas? I'm acting up. Nothing. The fajitas would have to be missing. A hair. Dude, see, for me, I'm the guy that just throws it to the side and says, okay, I'm not thinking about it.
Starting point is 00:20:39 What if you pull it out and it's got the oil on it? Okay, if it's a little tiny hair and you can flick it away, I'll flick it away and not even think twice. If it's a hair that you have to pull, then it's going back. Flick it away now. Here's a sentence that really just ruins everything. Waiting for shredded cheese as it's the only way she can eat fajitas. Is it really the only way she can eat fajitas?
Starting point is 00:21:02 Or is it just how she likes her fajitas? Can I ask this? Because that's a pretty high-end sentence. Did he put a comma before the as? He didn't. Oh. Yeah. Major L.
Starting point is 00:21:12 As it's the only way she can eat fajitas. It's not. It's just not. But they're not even touching the shrimp over here. Dude, that shrimp is begging to be touched. Yeah, you can't let shrimp sit for 18 minutes. Eat the shrimp. It's disgusting.
Starting point is 00:21:27 You know what? This is is just that mambo taxi i i know i've i've been harping on this but like the fact that you can't even you're not even touching that like this is something else yeah dude he's just i think i think one of them is just i i think both of them are just in bad moods and they were just hoping for the world and they did what and anybody else who has gone to a restaurant in Texas since – or not everybody else. I think some people have had good experiences. But largely going to restaurants during this time is not a fun time. Things are different. It's not back to normal.
Starting point is 00:21:56 And so you go to these restaurants and you're sitting there and there's cleaning supplies everywhere, which is great. But when you go to somewhere that has a good atmosphere... There's no mariachi band. Yeah, like, if I can't hear Biddy Biddy Bum Bum, then I don't want to go to Matt's El Rancho on a Thursday. It's different. He also hashtags COVID-19. I guess it makes it more searchable or whatever.
Starting point is 00:22:17 That was a mistake. Imagine wanting to read news about COVID-19. Where are the cases? And you see this woman's pouty face because she didn't have cheese. That might have been his undoing. Yeah. The hashtag COVID-19.
Starting point is 00:22:33 And I mean, whatever political lines you may be on, like, I don't think we do have to quit blaming COVID-19 for crappy service at this point yet. I feel like there's still a little leeway there. Like, I'm still going to – you're good. I feel like I'm still going to afford some time to smother – I don't know. Yeah, no, I've got an issue that I just noticed. Look at his tortilla. Look at his fajita. I have a real issue with his meat-to-tortilla ratio.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Wait, have you – do you have a different tweet-up than I do? Because I'm not seeing this meat. Oh, yeah-tortilla ratio. Wait, do you have a different tweet up than I do? Because I'm not seeing this meat. Oh, yeah, let me show you. Yes, okay. So when I saw him doing that, I tried to look at her plate to see if she had done anything, and she truly has not touched anything. It's just a tortilla with nothing in it. Like, she's not even ready to prepare the fajitas.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Hey, at what point is it rude when you're a patron like this? Let's say you have been waiting 18 minutes for something as necessary as shredded cheese. What point do you get up and go find your waiter or wave down another waiter? He said he's talked to four people.
Starting point is 00:23:42 See, I was actually thinking about this and I have to admit the current the current covid climate in restaurants that's going on i'm a little less likely to stand up and go talk to a waiter because i think i think i would freak out the staff and i don't think i'd want to do that but it's got to get to a point where you're like hey we just we need shredded cheese she needs it find it find a hard-working bus boy who you're like, dude, can you get us some shredded cheese real quick? My wife's going to lose her mind. Pin the busboy against the wall.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Where's the cheese? Where's the cheese? Where is it? Dame la queso. Or dame el queso. Donde? No, dame, I think, means give me. Oh, give me.
Starting point is 00:24:18 I'm not really sure. Donde, where is? Yeah. It's been a long time since I've spoken Spanish. Donde! Dude, Batman would have been so much better if he spoke Spanish do they have a Spanish version Batman they have to
Starting point is 00:24:29 Bane in Spanish would be good Donde esta the bat wish I knew more Spanish for this bit I was going to say how much Spanish do you know not very much Will thank you for asking. Oh, geez. Well, you know, we lost Dylan.
Starting point is 00:24:52 That's okay. That's okay. I think the homie had to take a tank break. Yeah, I mean, should we pull back the curtain for the studio right now? We're taking a few extra precautions in the studio. We've added some guidelines for personnel. Yeah, I think this is precautionary, but I will say that I think that the state of Texas
Starting point is 00:25:11 is probably going to make some changes relatively soon. And, yeah, things just might be a little weird, but we're taking extreme precautions in the stew. And I think Dylan had to go take the homie. The homie was either trying to take off his mask, which is not acceptable he was trying to get a tank off i think it was a tank uh another note on this so i checked this guy's twitter account the next day to see if he was replying to any tweets he had rt'd a few he was kind of leaning into it which i think if you're at that point you have to um but someone did say something to the fact to the matter of like uh
Starting point is 00:25:45 hey must be a tough time in that household today and he goes 100 accurate not a good day to be here like something like that yeah he's getting smoked which makes me kind of like this guy but like in a way that like it's just i feel bad I do feel bad for him. But he did it to himself. Dude, if I did this and Sally was in the photo pouting over some fajitas, there's a 100% chance that she would, like, she would lobby so hard to get that tweet deleted that I would have no choice but to delete that tweet. I get where he's coming from.
Starting point is 00:26:19 And he deleted it, what, like 48 hours later? He should have kept it up. He should have pinned it. He should have just been the fajita guy. I need to see the listens on that pod today. Yeah, it's true. It's true. You know he's going to ride this wave.
Starting point is 00:26:32 His next episode will do more numbers than any he's done. Maybe he can get some sponsors. Maybe we bring him into the network. Do you think he's got a busy sponsor? I feel like that's highly unlikely. Because we do. Yeah. I mean, just talking about this and just looking at their photo,
Starting point is 00:26:52 I'm looking at their fajitas in this photo, and I'm seeing shrimp fajitas, and I'm seeing steak fajitas, and I have to say, you know, this is something where all the options are just, like, there. And if I could combine those into one fajita, it'd taste amazing. And Vizzy lets you combine so many different flavors. Blue Pommy.
Starting point is 00:27:10 You really connected those. Dude, just think about it, man. You brought it together. They're just collab-o-ing everything. Yeah. So it's like a combo plate of fajitas in a seltzer form with antioxidants and vitamin C is basically what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:27:24 It doesn't taste like fajitas, but I see what you're saying. Exactly. They have pineapple, mango, black cherry, lime, strawberry, kiwi, and like we said, blueberry, pomegranate. This is the only hard seltzer crafted with antioxidant vitamin C. Think about that. You don't see that anywhere else, man. It's extracted from acerola.
Starting point is 00:27:41 It's a cherry. It's a super fruit with 30 times more vitamin C per cup than an orange. Imagine eating an orange and thinking you're getting vitamin C, and then someone rolls into the room and they're like, oh, dude, you want an acerola? I'd be like, wow, I didn't know what that is, but it sounds like a super fruit or something. Yeah, it's like, is that a cherry of some sort?
Starting point is 00:28:00 Super fruit. Super fruity. Dude, you're such a better singer than Dylan. Dude, that's not true. I know. I need to re-up on my Vizzy. Same. I got low this weekend, and now it's just exhausted.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Place down the street does not carry Vizzy, unfortunately, so I'm going to have to find a new vendor. The store that I usually get it from was completely out over the weekend. You'll love to see it. You have to think it's the circling back effect. Well, it obviously is, David. What else would it be? You know what I love about these?
Starting point is 00:28:27 They're only 100 calories. Yeah. Yeah. Like, come on. 5% ABV in 100 cals with less than one gram of real sugar cane? Dude, that's what I like. You know, I'm out on sugar in 2020. Everybody knows that.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Yeah. So this is big. Dude, it's huge. Upgrade your hard seltzer with Vizzy. To find out where you can purchase Vizzy, go to VizzyHardSeltzer.com. That's VizzyHardSeltzer.com. And yes, you must be 21 or older. And also make sure that if you're out there drinking your Vizzys,
Starting point is 00:28:55 make sure to tag us and Vizzy in your tweets or Instagram stories or whatever. We want to see all y'all. We want to see all y'all Vizzy bodies out there. I'm trying to party with you guys. Since I'm sold out, I'm going to need to get some Vizzys in my system virtually. Wow. Make it happen. So last night, they did a nice little special on LeBron's decision.
Starting point is 00:29:15 To be honest, I thought it was going to be a 30 for 30. I didn't realize we were getting some weirdly produced, like. It's two hours, man. It was not. What? Two hours long. What? This show. No, it wasn't. It was not. What? Two hours long. What? This show.
Starting point is 00:29:26 No, it wasn't. It was one hour long. I recorded it, and it said two hours. Did you watch it? Yeah. I watched the first half. Yeah, no, it was not two hours. Well, I guess I watched the whole thing, because I thought I was watching the first half.
Starting point is 00:29:38 I recorded it, and it said two hours. I was like, oh, I can't do two hours of this show. Yeah, it was one hour, and it honestly could have been 30 minutes, because they did not have a lot of content. They could have made it into a three-part series if they really wanted to and talked about his time in Cleveland and his connection to the city. So this guy's project is a series, but it's not going to all be on the decision, obviously.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Yeah. This was just one episode. I see. I don't know anything about this guy guy but we were talking before the pod like the first 10 minutes i was about to punch out i was gonna watch it but i was thinking like this is awful because it was like is this about lebron or is this about this journalist's like quest to do the story and it was just like him and it was talking about how crazy times you know it's making it difficult he's having to do all these, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:25 Zoom call interviews with these journalists. And I'm just like, dude, man, just get to LeBron, dude. It was kind of lame. It was very, yeah, it didn't have a lot. It got better. But I did find it interesting that they couldn't even get, what was the dude, Jim Gray? The dude who actually did the decision, like the interviewer, the host.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Like he was like, nah, I'm not going on there. Some crazy putz. I can't stand that guy. He's kind of a boner. Yeah. He kind of seemed like a boner during the interview when they were talking to him about what they were going to do and stuff. Well, that whole thing was a shit show.
Starting point is 00:30:58 Yes. So can I be honest? At the time, I didn't realize how much of a shit show it was. Well, start off, Will, with the most important thing. LeBron's biggest mistake of the night. His fit? What are you doing, LeBron? Like, LeBron's actually regarded now as a pretty fashionable dude.
Starting point is 00:31:15 And I'm not saying he wasn't fashionable. It was 2010. I know this was 11 years ago. And I know that. But I still don't see a scenario where LeBron is making, at that point, the biggest decision of his life, and he's sitting there and he's like, yeah, I'm going to hit him with a gingham button down, a white undershirt, and I'm going to tuck all that into a pair of dark, ill-fitting jeans.
Starting point is 00:31:39 The most visible undershirt of all time. Like, it was basically on his chin. Jarring. Like, dude, Kanye's there. And I knowye went through his whole preppy stage but that was way before what year was this 2009 2009 2010 yeah whatever it was so this is i'm trying to think which uh which iteration of yay we had was this 808 yay or just this is pre-yesus i think yeah uh so his next one was yesus graduation came out in 2007 and so dark, twisted fantasy, that's what we had, 2010 Kanye. So Kanye's back. He's all the way back.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Yeah, and if you saw his fit in there, he wasn't that bad. He was dressed pretty normal. No, he was cool Kanye. God, I miss the old Kanye. Kanye was just wearing a black sport coat with a deep V-neck, necklaces and whatever. And I'm not saying that he crushed it, but at the time he looked way better, whereas LeBron looks like a proud dad.
Starting point is 00:32:34 And my biggest issue with LeBron, yeah, the shirt and the undershirt, but the belt, what are you doing? We're not wearing belts, man. Swagless. Dude, not everyone's not wearing belts. You expect more out of him out of an icon like dave belts are still in man contrary to what you turn your life it's so funny it's so funny you come in here with your belt on your high horse like you're so wrong do you guys
Starting point is 00:32:56 remember where you were when you watched this yes where were you i was at uh my parents house i was living at home i think it – this was in the summer? Yeah, mid-summer. Yes, I was home my 1L year. I do not remember. I was watching with a couple of buddies, and we all had money on who he would go with. And I don't remember even who I had. I think I went with Chicago because the odds were the best.
Starting point is 00:33:20 We were just betting with each other. I think I went with Chicago for some reason. The fact that Kanye was there, I was like, okay, he's going to Chicago. It made sense in my brain. I didn't even think about that angle. That is a little surprising. But I do remember saying that if I was making the decision, I would have 100% gone to Miami.
Starting point is 00:33:37 He should have just done it from the Notes app and avoided all this. That's essentially what he did with going to L.A. You guys know, or I think, Will, you know more about Bill Simmons than I do. They had that thread about how this came from the Bill Simmons mailbag. I saw Bill Simmons getting flamed. How much of this is on Bill Simmons? Because doesn't Bill Simmons, after the fact, say this is the dumbest thing anyone's ever done? Yeah, but it sounds like he pushed for it.
Starting point is 00:34:01 And so I used to read those mailbags pretty religiously. Yeah, thank it sounds like he pushed for it. And so I used to read those mailbags pretty religiously. Yeah, thank you for that. When they would come out, I'd be like, okay, clear my schedule for the next hour. I'm going to read this mega mailbag that he just tossed out. Take the mail in. I don't want to say that I remember this, but I feel like I do remember this actual question. A lot of these questions that would happen, they would find our way to – they'd find a way to a text message conversation with like one of my buddies or something.
Starting point is 00:34:24 And I'm almost positive that we talked about this but i almost feel like one bill simmons is getting too much credit uh two bill simmons that's fair he showed his two true colors in like seemingly promoting it and then shitting on it later and being an anti-lebron guy for a an extended period of time but i get why he was anti-LeBron, like Boston versus everything. Yeah, and same with Wilbon. My fun fact, I like Wilbon just had to shoehorn in, like, oh, he's no MJ. Like, he had to work MJ into the fold somehow.
Starting point is 00:34:57 It's like, yeah, I mean, LeBron's career was like, what, three years old at that point, four years old? Yeah, give him a break. So he got a lot of shit for this, right, for the decision. Yeah. And for very publicly turning his back on Ohio and all that. People, they briefly mentioned this in the show last night, but he donated $2.5 million of which he earned from that show
Starting point is 00:35:19 to the Boys and Girls Club of America. People don't mention that. Why? I don't even know because even last night when they were talking about it it didn't feel like anyone actually cared about that it was like oh but what an asshole right i don't i don't get it it's like well wait they donated he uses platform to earn a lot of money and donated it to a very good cause it was just i think it's a self-indulgence of being like you know what i can stop the world with my decision to shit on my my home state and home team like the audacity to do
Starting point is 00:35:46 that is pretty ridiculous while being very charitable at the same time this looking back on it i'm like this obviously this isn't that big of a deal i but then again i'm not a cleveland sports fan had i been a cleveland sports fan if i've been from cleveland i would have been mad me at the time i wasn't mad i was like oh damn dude the mad now the mads are never going to win a title funny uh anyway uh funny how that worked out but like i do like how he disrupted the power structure of the nba and and i think it's made the nba better it's made it more entertaining it's a 24 7 like news cycle with the nba like now if Giannis like uh like something on Instagram like that the the Bulls put up or something like whoa wait what and it's like oh yeah this is all
Starting point is 00:36:31 possible because LeBron uh teamed up with Bosh and Wade and as much as I hated those three for a long time it's like you know what they did it their way and I kind of respect that yeah yeah now he maybe he should have gone into the show with an actual plan and not had Maverick Carter running up to Jim Gray in commercial breaks like, hey, ask him this. Talk about this. How did they not have an actual producer? I love that LeBron puts his squad up and like, all right, y'all are going to run this.
Starting point is 00:36:58 It's day ones. But you've got to have somebody in there that knows what they're doing. It was so awkward. They didn't even play the most awkward parts. LeBon looks so out of place yeah he does it looks like he wasn't he it looks like it wasn't his idea at all he didn't want to be there he was like 25 26 yeah something like that yeah man it was it's a mega tough scene uh but you know what the the most egregious part of this the uh dan gilbert the owner of the cabs comic sands letter that people forget about like what what was that this is garbage sally couldn't believe
Starting point is 00:37:33 that he actually did it in comic sands last night when we were reading it and i was like you know what i forgot i remember the letter and just being like i don't want my owner putting out public statements like this and obviously it wasn't my owner but uh doing it in comic sans i don't know how he doesn't have someone in his inner circle that tells him not to do that if i do that people are like oh that's will's just doing a bit but if you're the owner of like a multi-million dollar franchise you can't just be doing comic sans you really can't it's like is that the default in his word like does he open word and that's just what comes out? It's total amateur hour is what it is.
Starting point is 00:38:07 But he shamed the shit out of LeBron. He went in on him. Dude, I get it, though. I get it. I get why you would have those feelings. I don't get why you would do that publicly. It was unprofessional. Yes.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Oh, completely. I don't remember what the—I'm sure the Cavs franchise was pretty much trash until LeBron came back. But that doesn't help you get free agents and get big-name players there. Right, right. No, when you're willing to just absolutely flame a guy. I mean, he did—I understand. He did have to have a series of people who would have had to stop him from doing this. And I'm sure that he had lawyers saying, do not do this.
Starting point is 00:38:48 But he's like, he's the owner of the team. It doesn't matter. Yeah. It's the dude's job. It's his career. He can go wherever he wants. I know that if you're from Cleveland or from Ohio, and he's from there, so you feel like he's turning his back on you. But the guy's free to do whatever the hell he wants, man.
Starting point is 00:39:04 In our jobs, we can go and do whatever the hell we want. Why can't he? It pissed me off. You got an announcement to make? Screw Dan Gilbert, man. You're going to work with Bill Simmons. I'm not going anywhere, Davey. Hey, what's up, Dornheim?
Starting point is 00:39:14 I'm bringing back the forums. No, fuck you. Trust me, if the Ringer's hiring anybody right now, it's not going to be Dylan Chivry. Wait, why? That's rude. Because you're a white male. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:39:23 And based on the news cycle surrounding the ringer right now, I don't think they're in the market for more of those. Okay, I would argue that we are not 100% sure of Dylan. Fair. Because there's an adoption in there, right? Yes. My grandfather on my dad's side, so that's where the name comes from. Society recognizes you as a white male, but I'm just saying
Starting point is 00:39:46 one day we're going to get to the bottom of this. I was disappointed to find out that I was shockingly white according to 23andMe. Like, more so than I kind of expected. You know, I'm tan. You just wear bronzer, what's the deal? How are you so tan?
Starting point is 00:40:02 Man, have you ever seen my dad? He's like crazy dark. Yeah. It's ridiculous. He's also got a solid head of gray hair. He's got gray, white hair, basically. Very tan. Yeah. Very tan man. Tan man.
Starting point is 00:40:13 This isn't about me. It's not about you. We made it about you. Yeah. This is about Chase Rice. I'm itching to go in on that. How have we not made a 23andMe joke with Dylan involved in that somehow? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:40:28 That's so ripe for the taking. Drop the bag again. I like how they sent us the test kits, and then they never ended up sponsoring us. And mine got lost. Do you know why they didn't end up sponsoring us? Why? Because the podcast got shut down. Oh, we were going to.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Yeah, yeah, yeah. We had to delay because Dave's got lost in the mail, so now someone else just has all of Dave's DNA. Yeah, I'm the only person to have two 23 threes. And they both, they have like slight variance.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Like one says like 42% Italian, the other says like 48. I'm like, what is it? Not that it really matters that much, but I'm like, how did it vary? Weren't there a set of identical triplets who all did one
Starting point is 00:41:04 and they got got different results? There was a story about it. Maybe. No, I know who you're talking about. It was actually the Twins. Oh, yeah. It wasn't triplets. It was Twins.
Starting point is 00:41:15 It was what? The Twins. I like Dylan saying it without the inflection. It was just Twins. It was just Twins. Hey, guys. Hey, guys. You guys want to come out back, check out my garden?
Starting point is 00:41:26 Twins. Do we have any closing thoughts on LeBron? I'm a LeBron guy. I'll say it. Yeah, me too. I'm a LeBron guy. Don't care. I think he's a good dude.
Starting point is 00:41:34 He's a family man. He does things his own way, but he's never wronged anyone, really. He hasn't. He tried to wrong Dirk in the finals, but Dirk had the last laugh. Yeah, the Mavs. I don't want to mention the finals MVP in that. They mentioned the Mavs, but they're not going to mention Dirk's legendary, historic, top five playoff run for one player of all time.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Not debatable. Don't come at me. I'll flame you. You can't defend a Dirk fadeaway, Dave. You just can't. If LeBron hadn't returned to Cleveland and won a championship, then I would totally feel
Starting point is 00:42:08 for Cleveland fans, but at this point, if you still haven't, shut the fuck up. The story arc is incredible. That's a full-on redemption right there. He brought a title to his people. Can I make an unfair shot at LeBron? Yes. Potentially the biggest mistake of this whole thing was how he celebrated the
Starting point is 00:42:24 title in Cleveland. In his post-game interview just cleveland this is for you and he and like it was kind of awkward because she didn't say anything he goes oh is this like dude that's all you had nothing i mean my favorite and i don't know why i remember this so well but my favorite uh post nba championship interview was just kevin garnett when he just yelled anything is possible and it was just like loving like i was just like dude anything is possible i'm gonna go i should do anything right now good point gage hey gage hey gage come look at this gage guess what this is how i win let's do quotes from that movie now dude let's do all the quotes do the one about holy shit i'm
Starting point is 00:43:06 do it i don't know that you're always saying it yeah you're about to i don't say that dave come on man did you always say it my son is five feet from you right now like what's your problem yeah but it's behind a soundproof window is this yeah you can't hear outside of that window okay yeah if we've learned anything about this office the acoustics here are just great it does sound good i didn't hear any unsavory conversations happening in any other offices on friday when i was recording sunday's oh my god unhinged should we talk about uh the chase rice concert oh this weekend oh i hate chase rice well if you if you've listened to this podcast you know we have we have a we have a history with Chase Rice.
Starting point is 00:43:47 We're big Chase Rice guys. He and Victoria F, Victoria Fuller from The Bachelor, they used to have a little thing, and he was on there. We've gotten a lot of content out of Chase Rice in our day. I feel like Dave's pulling up lyrics and song titles about Chase Rice. No, I'm not. and song titles by Chase Rice. No, I'm not. Chase Rice was trending still on my desktop,
Starting point is 00:44:10 and I looked over and clicked where Chase was trending, but it's actually now Chase Daniel trending. Oh, no. And it's just people pointing out that he's now making more than Jameis and Cam Newton combined. Dude, hell yeah. He has five career starts. Wow. I remember he was lights out, though, in college.
Starting point is 00:44:23 He was a great player. Yeah, I remember watching. I didn't watch very many Mizzou games, but I remember they had one. That was their last year in the Big 12, right? Maybe. They had one. Whatever bowl game they were in, I think they had Jeremy Macklin at the time. I just remember thinking, like, these two are dope.
Starting point is 00:44:37 Dope. I think he's a solid backup, but, man, I forgot how much money that dude makes. Man, he is living. Good for him. And he's from Southlake, so you know he comes from money. So that's great. Do you guys want to run down? Can I give the people a rundown in case they haven't been on the Twitter machine today?
Starting point is 00:44:51 Please. Country singer Chase Rice is taking heat after sharing a video footage of concerts he played in Tennessee Saturday night with footage showing large, packed outdoor crowds rocking out shoulder to shoulder with no sign of social distancing or masks. Rice posted the video of his riled-up audience in Tennessee taken from the stage as a part of an Instagram post with the caption, quote, we back. The video clips were made up Sunday on his Instagram story, even as it became the subject of angry voices on social media. Yeah, the photo is really what did him in here. So there's a variation of this tweet about a million different times on Twitter right now.
Starting point is 00:45:26 And it basically says, like, imagine risking your life to see Chase Rice in concert. See, I don't like that. Yeah, I would risk my life for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Chase Rice. Oh, my God. Look, this guy's an asshole. I don't know how this was even allowed. What about doesn't he have a responsibility?
Starting point is 00:45:41 I don't know how this was even allowed. What about, doesn't he have a responsibility? Like, what about the argument that like, hey, your liberties, your personal freedom to go and risk your life and risk, you know, transmitting that virus to hear some really, really terrible music. What about that argument? You tell people mental health is a thing. People have a right to like enjoy life. They can't enjoy their life by listening to truly terrible country. Are you telling me that? I'm telling you that okay fine you want to die i don't know what regulations tennessee has in place doesn't look like many have you but did they did they break
Starting point is 00:46:14 them to to get 4 000 unmasked people together not because a lot of the places outdoors it doesn't matter i don't know the standing of tennessee right now to be honest like if tennessee's got things under control then there's more of a case for people going because they're like, oh, we're good. If he's doing this in Austin, Texas, and it's like, dude, like, I mean, our cases are worse than we're at the worst we've ever been. Yeah. And yeah. But like, honestly, like as someone who's never seen Jack Daniels and Jesus in concert, I would love to go to a Chase Rice show right now. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:46:45 Have you ever seen Fifty Shades of Crazy? Have you ever seen him perform any songs off Ignite the Night? No, I haven't. I'm sorry. I didn't think so. I'm legit mad about this. I believe that they are top 10 in hospitalizations for COVID. Good.
Starting point is 00:47:02 This is from the COVID Tracking Project. This is from Twitter, so this number could be inflated or deflated. The chances that someone in that crowd had COVID is 100%. Well, here's the deal. Like, it's 100%. These people are on...
Starting point is 00:47:15 Okay. Pro, yes, they are outside. Con, they are crammed in like it's's woodstock 99 everyone is on top of each other also a con no one is wearing a mask also a con it was a chase rights concert so they were grinding wranglers on each other you know that was happening oh not even chino's just denim on denim yeah there was denim on denim grinding to put it in perspective for you uh so many square toed boots there so many yeah uh june 26th which was three days ago uh seemingly around the same time as the concert was this concert on friday or saturday do we know yeah hard to say saturday can't look that up well uh june 26th was the highest uh coronavirus
Starting point is 00:47:59 reporting done in tennessee oh so cool yeah cool yeah Cool. Yeah. I just, I didn't think it was going to be as bad as it was until I watched the video. And I was like, holy shit. There are a lot of people in this place. It's a lot. I have some friends who in Oklahoma, who went to an event, a concert, not a, not, you know, a musician is held, you know, in high regard, like Chase Rice, but in the stage from the, from the audience to the stage, it's about 30 yards of no man's land, no one there. And the entire crowd was spaced apart by about six to seven feet. So people were at least trying to, you know, not –
Starting point is 00:48:36 you know, they're trying to do their best. They're doing their best, trying to have a social life, but they're also being safe. People were wearing masks. There was a way to do it. Do you see what Bill – not Bill Simmons. Jesus, dude, get Bill Simmons off your mind will i can't see what dave chapelle did when he did that that live thing for the netflix is funny youtube channel like the way that they set up the
Starting point is 00:48:55 entire thing was just obviously this is different a stand-up show is much different than a chase rice concert where you know you want to turn up and drink some fireball with the boys but like they just had two seats separated and everybody was wearing masks the entire time. It was like I would have felt safe going to the Dave Chappelle show. But if someone's like, hey, they're doing a Chase Rice show, it's going to be pretty safe. There's no way it's going to be safe. There's no such thing as a safe Chase Rice show. COVID was transmitted at that concert.
Starting point is 00:49:23 It happened. Well, not to mention just the electricity in the air, just because of how good the show probably was stop it like you have to think that that helped transmit he did ignite the night okay okay did you see he played his new song what's it called your love is my antibody david stop it's not what it's called. Okay. I thought he played it. Maybe I got some bad intel.
Starting point is 00:49:50 There's a lot of fake news on Twitter. Man, yeah, I was going to find more intel on hashtag COVID-19, and then I just saw some lady who couldn't get fajita shredded cheese. So kind of defeated the permit. Well, he also, so this concert was... This concert was done with Chris Jansen, which I don't know much about. Do you guys know anything about him? Is that the Dateline guy?
Starting point is 00:50:12 No. Yeah, so... If you want to look up Chris Jansen... I don't, but I will. I'm reading here that... He released a song about coronavirus. Oh, no. Do you guys want me to read some of the lyrics here?
Starting point is 00:50:27 Is it, grab me a sixer of corona, hold the virus? Oh, no, I'm sorry. Chase Rice did. This is Chase Rice's lyrics, but Jansen also did some lyrics. Chase Rice's lyrics were, dear corona, you don't know the heart of a country fan. You don't know that we don't give a damn. So you can reschedule stagecoach, but you got to understand that you don't know the heart of a country fan. Is this real?
Starting point is 00:50:47 Are you making this up off the cuff, or is this real? You can reschedule stagecoach, but you've got to understand that you don't know the heart of a country fan. Let me ask you this. So you're mocking this. Have you seen a study that disproves this, that maybe country music fans do have different enzymes, different immune systems.
Starting point is 00:51:06 You've got to think that they don't. You don't know that. This is just a big middle finger to everyone who's getting sick and losing. People are literally dying from this, and it's just a big middle finger. Well, here's – yeah, great point. I'm about to go woke here. This is my woke COVID take of the day. Hit the button, Micah.
Starting point is 00:51:28 There's not a button. Just hit a random one. Maybe if we hold off on going to really, really high-quality country music shows where we're packed in, maybe we can get back to normal sooner than later. Yeah. Maybe that won't extend this another month or two. Just saying. What about that take?
Starting point is 00:51:46 I mean, I feel like that's a pretty level-headed take for a guy here who does not have many level-headed takes. It's a good take, David. Pat me on the back. It's a good take, David. Pat me on the gram. Pat me on the back. Look.
Starting point is 00:52:00 This isn't going to go away until people take it seriously. It's just not. Like, we're about to start recording from home again, I feel like. I'm pissed off about it. Yeah, not happy about it. Because people want to go get beers with the squad or go listen to terrible music in person. It's just, stop.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Let me tell you this, Dylan. Would it change your mind, would it make you go to a show if you knew the following songs were going to be played live in person? Good vibes. Buy me a boat redneck life power of positive drinking hawaii on me the power of that's not a song like who goes to see this guy even when there's there's no pandemic going on like he's just garbage and now for for my favorite. Who's Your Farmer? Oh, wow. That's good. Is that like Who's Your Daddy? That one's got to slap. Do you want to hear some good news, Dylan, from an artist
Starting point is 00:52:52 that you hold near and dear to your heart? Is this about Gaga? It's about John Party. John Party was doing an outdoor show in Georgia, but those familiar with the concert described as a dinner show where patrons were set up at tables, each with their own 15 foot by 15 foot square, that they were asked to stay within with six foot distancing between tables.
Starting point is 00:53:10 That's my dog. Temperatures were checked at entry and masks were said to be required on shuttles to the venue, although not during dinner or the performance. Oh, he's done. You know, I'm out on John Party. I'm tired of his woke takes. Dude, John Party's a pussy. John Party's such a party guy.
Starting point is 00:53:21 He's such a pee. Dude, he's so tight. John Party's a bitch. He fucking just brings it song after song. He's such a P. Dude, he's so tight. John Party's a bitch. He fucking just brings it song after song. He's a hit maker. Speaking of Lady Gaga, did you know that she was supposed to be featured on Kendrick Lamar's Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe? That was going around yesterday, and it sounds terrible. She was?
Starting point is 00:53:36 Really? Terrible. You mean you listened to it? Yeah, I think. I don't know what. Maybe there was some kind of dispute on publishing or something, but it didn't't get released, but like the track's out there and it's not good. I would like the song less. I like Gaga, but I think I would have liked that song less had Gaga been on it.
Starting point is 00:53:53 Same. I don't need Gaga and Kendrick like doing stuff together. I feel like Kendrick goes too hard for Gaga. I wouldn't say that, sir. Would you go to a Lady Gaga show right now outside, but you're crammed in and you're, you know, Chino on denim? I wouldn't go to, I wouldn't go that, sir. Would you go to a Lady Gaga show right now, outside, but you're crammed in and you're Chino on denim? I wouldn't go to see anybody. I wouldn't go see Elton John. I was going to say, what about James Blunt?
Starting point is 00:54:14 Okay. James Blunt's doing a show. Now you're talking my language. First of all, I don't even like concerts, really, so this is easy for me. But no, just wait a few months, people. Wait. Don't go to a 4,000-person concert shoulder to shoulder, sweating all over each other, dancing. Get out of here.
Starting point is 00:54:34 What are you doing? The literal pandemic. Have we figured out if Victoria F. has commented on this yet? Maybe I sound like a whiny bitch, but I'm just sick of this. No, I mean, you do. There are people out there who are going to say that we sound like whiny bitch, but I'm just sick of this. No, I mean, there are people out there who are going to say that we sound like whiny bitches.
Starting point is 00:54:47 That's okay. That's okay. But people are still getting, look, it's spiking. People are getting sick. People are dying, man. I'm tired of not being able to go get a pint with the lads.
Starting point is 00:54:59 I'm tired of it. I'm going through Victoria Fuller's story right now. Or it's about the Miss Kettergarten no she has not Victoria easy on the Pepsi she has not commented on this yet
Starting point is 00:55:10 interestingly enough is she back with Chase Rice isn't she dating somebody else wasn't she dating Chris Sewells or whatever his name is
Starting point is 00:55:16 the farmer yeah geez she didn't he get cancelled at some point oh well is he the guy who killed someone
Starting point is 00:55:22 he did oh yeah and he left the scene. He did. Yeah, you can't do that. No. No, you can't. He's not in jail?
Starting point is 00:55:32 I don't know. No, I believe it was. Could not prove. I don't know. I'm not going to. I don't know. Sheesh. There's a lot.
Starting point is 00:55:40 We got it. This is a big Monday. The chase. I just can't believe that there's that many people willing to put health on the line for Chase Rice. I'll be honest. I'll be completely honest. When it comes to coronavirus stuff, it definitely started taking a backseat in my mind. I got way more comfortable.
Starting point is 00:56:01 And as numbers seemingly were going down, I was way more comfortable about everything. But in the last week, the numbers have become undeniable and it's like i look at it and i'm like well back to back to where we were in march it's no it's worse yeah it's so it's just it's just you're undeniable oh wow i don't know what are we eating i'm drinking hot coffee for the first time in like three weeks. I'm on another level. It's hitting different. If you're one of the idiots that wants to go to a Chase Rice concert, I'm going to highly suggest that instead of going to the concert,
Starting point is 00:56:31 you just need to get a pair of Raycon earbuds and just listen to Chase Rice on those. Because whether you're working from home or working on your fitness, you want what you're listening to to be what you're listening to, not what your roommates, neighbors, whoever. Once you hear noise from other people, it's over. You want to hear what you're listening to. Everyone what your roommates, neighbors, whoever. Once you hear noise from other people, it's over.

You know, my wife wants to talk to me.
Starting point is 00:57:29 You're sitting at dinner, you just have one in the other. Listen to the game. Hey, hang on. I'm listening to the guys talk about the tournament. Dude, these things are stylish and discreet. No one's doing that. No one's doing stylish and discreet besides Raycon.

Starting point is 00:58:21 St. Louis gun neighbors? A lot of viral tweets. Yeah, the viral tweets were popping this weekend. We're just going in on everybody this episode. What is it? Yeah. But that's okay. These people suck, man.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Yeah, when I saw this, I was like, why is Glenn Guglia from Wedding Singer, why is he outside with an AR? Please don't correct me. I don't know what kind of firearm that is. It looks like something that I would get in a loadout in Call of Duty Warzone. Dylan, you know what I'm talking about. I do. Well, the situation, if you haven't seen the tweet, the video is a little jarring it says a white couple pointed
Starting point is 00:59:05 guns at protesters in st louis as a group marched toward the mayor's home on demand for her resignation a social media video showed the armed couple standing outside their large home sunday evening in their upscale central west end neighborhood of missouri city in the video the unidentified couple shouted at protesters while people in the march moved the crowd forward urging participants to ignore them the woman is seen pointing a handgun at the crowd, and the man is seen holding a rifle. Okay, I started seeing people talking about her handgun etiquette, her firearm etiquette. And I was like, wait, she didn't have a gun. I went back and watched.
Starting point is 00:59:40 I didn't even realize she had a gun because she was being so flippant and like irresponsible with how she was holding it. I was like, whoa, there is a handgun there. That is extraordinarily dangerous. And I'm not even firearms guy and I know that. So the first tweet that I saw was a different one than what I just saw in the article that I'm reading from. And I have to say, the more video that comes out, this already looks bad. The more video that comes out, it looks much, much worse. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:08 Can you answer me this? I have not been able to get a definitive answer. Were there demonstrators on their property vandalizing or doing anything like that? Or were they just walking down the street? It's hard to say. I will say the only thing I know about the geography of this. And I think that there might've been people technically on their property since they have a pretty vast lawn area. It is an absolute pad. But I think these people lack the self-awareness of being like, Oh, they're not going to come ransack our place.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Maybe that was the fear they had. And it's probably an unjustified fear, but it probably was a fear. Well, if I'm'm if i'm in my apartment and i see a huge not my apartment if i'm living in my house and i see a large group of people that are congregating outside of my house yes i'm going to have some concern but i don't think grabbing a rifle and then going out and pointing it at everybody's going to get as much done as yeah just calling calling the police that's what we call escalating the situation doesn't put more of a target on your back yes yeah yeah oh this this is the house guys let's what we call escalating the situation. Doesn't that put more of a target on your back? Yes. Yeah. Oh, this is the house, guys.
Starting point is 01:01:08 Let's fuck it up. And you know what? Let me say this. If I am going to do this, I'm not going to go out in my pink IZOD, my pink Lacoste polo tucked into my pleated khakis with a belt. I'm probably going to put on maybe some athleisure or maybe something a little bit more tactical. I actually disagree with you here. I actually think this is the ideal fit for this guy. This is the Boogaloo Boys, like, M.O.
Starting point is 01:01:30 You also – These, like, generic preppy clothes and then have your big guns and show everybody how tough you are. Someone pointed out on Twitter, I think it was our friend Connor from Barstool, said that his chinos were about four inches too long, the inseam. Well, so not only the chinos too long but so I have a high quality photo pulled off of him right now Dave you wronged him it was not an eyes odd dude put some respect on the name it was a uh it was a Brooks Brothers shirt
Starting point is 01:01:53 so just swallow that pill oh it is a Brooks there's the sheep I actually probably own this shirt and then and then also this is This is a case for no belts Dave His belt is done at least one One notch too much And it's cutting off the circulation to his lower body Or maybe his upper body And it's just hard on him Is that a braided belt?
Starting point is 01:02:17 It's not Here's an HQ version If your button is sticking out from underneath your belt That means that your belt is on too tight This is just general stuff I'm not trying to be club cool right now I'm just giving you some advice I'm trying to be club cool HQ version. If your button is sticking out from underneath your belt, that means that your belt is on too tight. This is just general stuff. I'm not trying to be club cool right now. I'm just giving you some advice.
Starting point is 01:02:29 I'm trying to be club cool. I got to say, man, I just don't know if this was the move. I know Ohio, I believe, has some form of the castle doctrine. Well, this is Missouri. Missouri. What did I say? I said Ohio. Isn't St louis in ohio close uh i believe missouri missouri definitely has some form of the castle doctrine this this house looks like i'm seeing a different video a second angle this house it looks like a castle man it is a castle the i saw i saw a
Starting point is 01:02:59 google maps uh layout of this because after this happened they pretty much started getting doxxed on twitter makes sense it makes sense i mean i don't i'm not i will never support doxxing people like ever it's really fucked up and you should never do that but if you do something like this you open yourself up to pretty much getting doxxed at that point and that's unfortunate but you also are making a terrible decision it's a highly doxxable behavior yes and it's it's just unfortunate that you this this couple took the actions that you know led them down the road of getting doxxed someone discovered some like some old real estate photos of inside the house and has their furniture and they're like standing there too their decor is trash oh i it puts out the vibe of a couple that has quite gaudy taste.
Starting point is 01:03:46 It's trash. They're from Ohio. What do you expect? Oh, my God. Did I say that? Why am I the one getting the heat for hating Ohio? I should get the heat. I mean, I really don't.
Starting point is 01:03:57 You know how often, Mike, you say how much you hate that state. Yeah, you do. Everybody's tweeting me. I'm like, I don't know, man. Ohio is your Scott Burrell. You wake up in the morning just wanting to beat the piss out of it ohio to be better that's why i'm so hard on ohio people forget i uh almost live there and this is just not a good look i i i will say i understand protecting your domicile i understand owning a weapon in order to do that i under i have the
Starting point is 01:04:21 understanding of all these things but this is not how you're supposed to deal with it. Waving a gun on your front lawn? Yeah, you can't. That's not the move. You can't go full Tony Montana and just go out on your front lawn. And she's legit pointing it at people, too. That is rule numero uno. He's not.
Starting point is 01:04:37 Can't do that. You don't point it unless you're willing to fire. Here's a picture. She's literally pointing it at someone's face. You just can't do that. No. That is, again, I don't know Missouri law. Here's a picture. She's literally pointing it at someone's face. Yeah. You just can't do that. No. Again, I don't know Missouri law.
Starting point is 01:04:52 That is probably an actionable criminal act. Oh, sure. Pointing a gun at somebody, I'm going to say assault right there. And these people, I believe, are unarmed, all of them. You can prove me wrong. Yeah, man. Unless these people were breaking into your house with intent on harming you, you can't just go out there with a gun and play like you're going to use it. Devil's advocate.
Starting point is 01:05:10 I mean, you can maybe, but you're going to tactical. Devil's advocate. They maybe had a dry winter in St. Louis, and he's just been bringing this lawn back to health for months, and he's just been trying and trying and trying. And he just dropped so much money having like a new irrigation system put in like and then all of a sudden you see some you see some protesters and they're pitter pattering on your on your lawn like you got to bust out the tule for that right no no you just go out there and be like you just level with them no firearms say look hey
Starting point is 01:05:40 man i put down some weed in the feed a couple months ago it's just starting to grow back could y'all just keep it on the sidewalk, man? I don't want to fuss with you, man. What you're doing here, you know, whatever, man. I'll get you some water, but just please, please. Respect the grass. Like, yeah, this is my Kyle field. This is my college station.
Starting point is 01:05:57 This guy should have just made a sign that just said, like, the mayor's house is that way. Like, don't walk out with a gun and, like, become an internet sensation. Just walk out with a sign that would be like, nope, continue that way. That's where you go to. I hope these people don't have kids. The optics of this. They definitely do.
Starting point is 01:06:12 It can't be worse. Like, you make yourself look like a total jackass, and like I said earlier, now you're a target. I feel like there's an element of, there's a number of people out there who probably don't agree with what's going on. And they probably own a lot of firearms. And there's some people who, like, they want it to go down. Like, when you go, when you put yourself in a situation like this, I know the people were outside their home. They were walking by. But when you go out there with firearms and start pointing it at people and waving it around like that,
Starting point is 01:06:45 you're kind of hoping somebody does something. It's like, find out. You know what? I want this to escalate. And that's a bad look. Maybe. Maybe you're right. You've got to be more level-headed.
Starting point is 01:06:54 And didn't you say these people were like lawyers? I don't know. I thought I heard that. They do something. Whatever they're doing, they're— They do something to get big boy stacks. They've got the stacks. They've got stacks.
Starting point is 01:07:03 They've got the stacks. That is a pad. They do something to get big boy stacks. They've got the stacks. They've got stacks. They've got the stacks. That is a pad. Yeah, I don't think this would have gone as viral had it been not in front of one of the most ridiculous mansions ever
Starting point is 01:07:11 and also if the guy wasn't wearing what he was wearing. If he didn't look like he was about to settle in for some golf or something. Look at that. Look at that picture. Yeah, it's a little. She's reckless. Just reckless. They're both reckless.
Starting point is 01:07:24 She's reckless reckless. Her fit is trash both reckless. She's reckless, reckless. Her fit is trash, too, by the way. Come on. Where was this? St. Louis. Okay. That's where the St. Lunatics reside. It's in Missouri, David.
Starting point is 01:07:33 I know. I'm just trying to figure out where the mayor would live. I'm curious. I like when mayors and governors governors I like looking at their mansions remember when somebody burned down the Texas governor's mansion a few years ago
Starting point is 01:07:49 no they never caught the guy no was it the same guy that poisoned the tree in Auburn I mean it might be remember that dude
Starting point is 01:07:58 that whole situation freaked me out for some reason I was like dude this guy's unhinged he's killing trees yeah 2008 so it was more than a few years ago.
Starting point is 01:08:06 I like that guy's name. Very infamous Bama fan. Was it JT Bowtie? Paul Feinbaum. It was JT Bowtie. He called on the Paul Feinbaum show, right? Yeah. Yeah, I think that's how he broke it.
Starting point is 01:08:19 That was a wild scene. Yeah, he goes, yeah, I'm the one who poisoned the tree. What's that fucker's name? So did the mayor resign? Who knows, man? Who knows? I don't know. I hope all the people there were staying safe and being respectful and everything like that.
Starting point is 01:08:35 I hope they were wearing masks. I've seen a lot of... We've been pretty critical of gatherings where people aren't wearing masks. But, I mean, I feel like 90% of the protests you see of any kind, like most people have a sense to wear masks. Not all of them, but a lot. For any protest, you have to keep in mind that you can become a target if things get out of control and that you need to be able to have a semblance of respect for the other situations happening around you so like protest lends itself to wearing a mask too so dude yeah if i'm protesting in the future like i don't care
Starting point is 01:09:12 if coronavirus is around anyway i'm probably wearing a mask just to like yeah be on the i'll probably wear the screen mask here's a picture of her pointing at someone you just you just dress up as the joker right no that's not a mask that's makeup no you just put, you just do. One day I'm going to come in here with full Joker makeup. For my birthday. For my birthday this year, will you record a podcast with me with full Joker makeup on? That's all I want.
Starting point is 01:09:37 Please don't do that. As long as no one tweets me correcting any of my Ohio or Missouri legal takes, I will do that one. You got to think people are going to listen and not do that. That's all we got today, boys. Man. Just – Quite the weekend.
Starting point is 01:09:56 Just some shit people out there. We just flamed everybody today. Except for LeBron. I'll show LeBron love. buddy today. Except for LeBron. I'll show LeBron love. I used to think that LeBron was the GOAT until the last
Starting point is 01:10:09 dance when I was like, oh man, I'm stupid. People have, when it comes to sports, they have short-term memory. Yeah, I always thought that LeBron was the GOAT until that, and then I started realizing, like, okay. Michael was just a killer, man. LeBron might be the greatest NBA athlete, but he's not going to go down.
Starting point is 01:10:28 MJ went to six NBA finals and won all six of them. LeBron, not near that. I will say, for LeBron to be in the spotlight since he was, like, a sophomore in high school, he was crowned legitimately in high school. And for him to go this long and stay out of any kind of mess. I mean, what's the biggest controversy he's had? The China stuff?
Starting point is 01:10:52 The Daryl Morey Hong Kong stuff? Yeah. I mean, yeah, he made fun of Dirk in the finals for being sick. He would probably say that was a bad look. But nothing. He didn't have to leave the sport to go play another sport because of what seems to be a gambling problem. Wait, all the cameras, he's a good dad?
Starting point is 01:11:11 Yeah. I know. Family man? I don't know. He's a big Taco Tuesday guy. Loves Taco Tuesday. I love Taco Tuesday. We love tacos, too.
Starting point is 01:11:19 I will scream. I reserve the right to yell at my TV screen if the Mavs should face the Lakers in the playoffs. I will. But at the same time, I respect the guy. Even though he did wear this. Basically, what he wore to the decision is what I would wear to happy hour in 2007. Sands belt.
Starting point is 01:11:41 His stylist took an L that day. Should we get out of here? Yeah. All right, tonight, everybody, make sure to watch Rounders. Where can they find it? Everywhere. It's on the internet. I will say, if you want some tricks, Dylan did find out that even though Out Cold is not listed as free,
Starting point is 01:12:01 was it Out Cold that you found for free? It was Dazed and Confused. Always check Amazon Prime before you do any of these things because they might out cold that you found for free uh it was dazed and confused always check amazon prime before you do any of these things because they might have some of these movies for free but we hear you out there we understand uh we've been doing movies that you pretty much have to pay 2.99 for every single time uh i promise cross my heart hope to die i will do we will select a movie this upcoming week that is on net, HBO, or Amazon Prime for free. I just stumbled across my favorite tweet. Huh.
Starting point is 01:12:30 Somebody put, want to feel old? And it's the Missouri gun guy holding his rifle and the had to do it to him kid next to him. Are they wearing the same thing? They're both wearing pink with a version of khaki one or shorts one or khaki pants and uh it's it's pretty funny it's a stretch but it's funny this it's got such like narcos vibes to it i finished zero zero zero speaking so i've i started watching the trailer for that with sally and we decided that it was going to be a little too much
Starting point is 01:13:00 for us it's the most violent show i think i've ever seen i'm not kidding i'm in it is violent yes it is like um if you like sicario huh sicario did you like any part of ozark yeah i think it is a more well done ozark you haven't seen season three yet i don't care i didn't finish season two you're right that you're right expose me that is hypocritical and and but i know i know I just have to be I'm the only person I feel like actually like will stand up for the show even though I don't love it
Starting point is 01:13:29 love it but I have to stand up it's definitely worth watching I think it's only eight episodes it's easy and it's good
