all right we're back circling back podcast live in the early bird cbd studios in austin texas my
name is will defreeze to my right dave ruff i've got two pieces of information that you're going
to want to hear do you want to hear it you told me i was going to want to hear. Do you want to hear it? You told me I was going to, so yeah.
Yeah, I just wanted you to confirm.
On my way in, I was driving up Westgate,
and there was a gas station,
and there was a guy, his car was parked near the road,
and he was just projectile vomiting.
So I saw some old dude puke.
That was cool.
It was interesting to do it that way,
because everybody who was driving into work this morning,
they had to pass this guy.
So he went driver's side.
Yeah.
He's a driver's side.
Second, I just checked Twitter what's happening.
I wanted to see what the moments were.
Per Twitter, Emma Thompson and Hannah Gadsby robot dancing is a mood.
Is it a whole mood or just a mood?
It's just a mood, man.
What did they have to do to become a whole mood, I wonder?
Got to give us more than this.
It's not a whole mood, then.
It's not quite up to standard.
Just don't do it.
It's a mood, but it's not a whole mood.
I think a lot of people wake up in the morning,
they roll over and see what they missed,
they pull up in Twitter,
and they check out what's happening.
They're going to fill us in.
And they scroll down.
Wow, Iran.
They said they have arrested 17 CIA operatives.
That's interesting.
Oh, wow, Equifax.
That's a big settlement.
Oh, it's a whole mood.
Oh, no, it's just a mood.
It's just a mood.
Cool.
Robot dancing.
Who the fuck writes this stuff?
Did they get the riffraff
that got laid off
from BuzzFeed
and they just like
have to do like
shitty headlines now?
I thought you meant
like actual riffraff.
Yeah, it was actually
riffraff.
No, this is
I don't know.
Maybe this is important
to some people.
I don't know.
Dude, I actually have
an issue with Twitter
right now.
Not Twitter, I guess.
But my favorite golf course is getting dragged on Twitter by the Detroit Free Press for the last three days.
What'd they do?
So there's a hole that overlooks Lake Michigan.
And they apparently encouraged people to hit balls into the water off the bluff into Lake Michigan.
It's on their website.
It said, go ahead.
Everyone does it.
Fair. like on their website it said like go ahead everyone does it there and so they wrote this
like really overwrought ridiculous piece about the pollution that it's causing right outside of the
golf course right there and while i understand the sentiment there they're acting like they're
like exposing some like big government cover-up in their article and it's just way too much
information they interviewed a cart girl who was apparently fired from the golf course a whistleblower yeah
who apparently would encourage guys not to do it because of the pollution and they have like
quotes that are relayed from her of guys that are like i don't give a fuck about the environment
a lot and i'm like okay why are we doing this right now guys say a lot of things on the golf
course they don't mean.
They just go for shock value.
But I don't know what to do because I support what they say regarding like,
yeah, we don't want to litter in Lake Michigan.
But at the same time, like, they're just dragging this course.
Hey, do they not have this guy with the scuba gear who goes and gets the balls and then refurbs them and sells them?
They had a guy do it.
Because we have that.
That's how they realized how bad it was because he went in
and apparently it was just like a ton of balls.
But in the article, it also said that they found balls like 400 yards out.
And I wanted to be like,
what dudes are going out there and cranking 400-yard drives into the water?
Well, the pipe already hit Michigan, I think.
True, true.
But I don't know how to feel.
I don't really, I don't think I would do it.
I probably would, but I wouldn't feel like I missed out if I didn't
because I'm not really, I don't really get the allure
of seeing my golf ball land in water.
Feels really good.
I can do that enough on my own when I'm playing.
There are some balls that have like a biodegradable surface,
and then I think some even have like fish food inside.
Oh, that's tight.
You can hit them in the water and then, you know.
Yeah.
We do it all the time at my friend's cabin.
But we would try to go get, we'd try to recover some of them.
But like, obviously you, I don't know.
But, I mean, the Corps made the change on their website,
telling people not to do it.
They apologized.
They've done everything.
And I just feel bad.
So maybe, hey, maybe the rates will go down shouts to arcadia bluffs what's a green fee at
arcadia bluffs looking like uh mid-summer it's not great it's not great i've only played there
twice and both have been at the end of fall i think both times i played with the last possible
day you could play in the season i think i still paid almost 200 bucks holy shit so middle of
summer it's like ridiculous it It's like 350 or something.
That's why I've only played it twice.
So our old driving range in Duncanville
it's not there anymore
but it used to be next to like a lumber yard
and then like a storage unit place.
You know the type
that are really depressing
when you see them popping up everywhere.
Yeah.
We have just so much shit in this country
we need storage units.
So you know they're like made of metal right? The tops have like the really shit in this country. We need storage units. So, you know, they're like made of metal, right?
The tops have like the really loud metal, whatever, roofs.
And if you could hit it high enough and pull it over the fence,
you could smoke it.
And it was the loudest thing in the world.
So we would just be like.
Little dickheads.
We would just be trying to just snap hooks over this fence.
And you just wait for it. and you couldn't see because it
would kind of go over like this little bluff or whatever and you would just wait like well
and it was just it sounded like just somebody's back there just cracking an assault rifle
we used to live on a bluff uh and my dad would buy water balloon launchers and we just launched
them into downtown.
Oh, yeah.
And I remember the last time we did it was because we shattered somebody's windshield,
and my dad's like,
yeah, let's get out of here.
And we just sprinted off.
We had a potato gun growing up.
Those are dicey.
That was like another level of dangerous.
Justin Anthony.
And he lived on the back of this hill
overlooking a neighborhood, basically.
Did he make it himself?
Oh yeah
And this thing shot probably 500 yards
And what was a smokehouse?
What did he use for propellant?
Was it like hairspray?
Yeah, he used hairspray
I was like, man, this shouldn't be this easy
But I'm telling you
Oh, they're dangerous
500 yards, yeah
I think we would cut the potatoes in half
That was nice of you
Shoot two halves
We only would do sweet potato Just because of the lower glycemic index.
For sure.
For sure.
You got smoked by one of those things.
Yeah.
Imagine if you're just riding your bike.
We told Dory it was empty and then we fired it off and it hit him in the dick.
Half a potato just comes out of nowhere and just smokes you.
Do you know the CKY guys definitely had a potato gun at some point?
Do kids these days even know about potato guns?
I don't know dude the potato gun was like in our in our little circle being like you know 10 or 12
that was like ultimate like if somebody did the potato gun it's like whoa they were badass weird
i don't think i ever would have remembered potato guns had you not just mentioned it
yeah i think it's but somebody out of my friends had one. I don't remember who it was. I had a buddy whose mom took the...
He had a copy
of the Anarchist Cookbook.
Yes.
And she took it
and every time we had a sleepover,
we would try to find it.
I think they're shockingly easy to make.
Potato guns?
Yeah.
I'm sure they are.
If you took a high school
physics class right now...
PVC pipe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you took a high school
physics class like right now,
I don't think I'd do well
on the tests, but I think I would knock the experiments out of the park looking back to what
we did i'm like that was really easy and stupid yeah i mean like big erlenmeyer flask guy oh yeah
you i'm just a big meniscus guy hey i'm ready for my intro that's chemistry and we're seven
minutes 43 seconds in i think we can do it.
What's up, Dylan?
What's a meniscus?
You can't hijack my intro.
We're seven minutes in.
Dave, I'll explain it to you.
Because I was thinking like your knee, the front of your knee.
That's a ligament.
When you pour, no, when you pour like a liquid into a beaker or a vessel of some sort.
Okay.
And you fill it to the top.
Is it the curvature at the top?
Yeah.
Sometimes it doesn't spill over
if you do it just right and it creates the little bubble at the top not bubble but it's just water
yeah yeah like foam no no no it like curves like the top of its curved it doesn't spill it's called
a meniscus yeah i think he's right it sounds it sounds weirdly accurate but it will who knows wow
um back up back to me hey man intro this podcast that i've been a part of
for several years now um i'll call it now this is gonna be one of the the best content weeks we've
ever had it's called a hunch it just feels it feels like it's gonna be really really good oh
are you about to leave no oh come on man oh here i have an idea i have an update i just fried this
loser there's a difference there's a difference. There's a difference between
there's a concave meniscus,
which is water,
which goes downward.
Then there's the convex meniscus,
like mercury,
that goes up.
Wow, the quality of a mercury.
Is it in Gatorade?
Indeed.
I actually had some more stuff
on the potato gun.
Let's make one.
With all due respect, Ellen.
The water balloon launcher.
The three man I assume you're talking about.
Where you have two people run up.
Or you just tie it to a tree and you got one man.
That's also a very efficient method.
Or two man, I'm sorry.
You're right.
If you get that thing back though,
that thing can launch with some force.
Oh yeah.
You want to take one of those to the gut from like 10 yards out. If you get that thing back, though, that thing can launch with some force. Yes. Oh, yeah. Yes. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
You don't want to take one of those to the gut from like 10 yards out.
No, that's...
Something I...
Throwing water balloons around your spleen or something.
We never TP'd anything, and I know you did.
You were a big TP guy.
You know what the kids are doing now?
We TP'd a lot.
The kids are doing caution tape.
I like that.
They did it to my sister's place.
I like that.
Can you just buy that like on Amazon?
It's like crime scene Yeah you can
So it looks like
Your house
Has been like
You know
Double murder
But Sally told me
That her family
Was prime candidates
For getting TP'd
Because they had
So many girls
Oh yeah
I had two older sisters
We got TP'd all the time
I can't imagine
How the young family got it
No it was bad
Yeah I imagine
I could see Doc
Getting pissed about that
He apparently
Absolutely hated it.
We got egged.
We got forked.
We got TP'd.
All of it, man.
I can say we never egged.
We thought egging was too far.
Oh, we got egged.
You got to get it off the paint, like the house quickly,
or it'll start to erode the paint.
It was bad news.
I just hate seeing protein wasted like that.
That's a good point.
Sure.
How do you guys feel about egg whites and cocktails?
No,
I've never done it.
I'm not,
I'm not going to go out of my way to get it.
If it happens to be in there,
I'll be,
I'll gladly enjoy it.
I'll take that like six or seven grams of,
of P,
but I think you should start doing your L days with egg whites.
So you can get some protein in there as well.
I don't,
I feel like that's a recipe for nausea,
like eggs with tequila. I feel like that's a recipe for nausea.
Like eggs with tequila.
I like a little egg white.
It's a whole mood for you, isn't it?
It's a whole damn mood.
Why just the egg white, though? Why not the yolk?
That's where I call it good.
I think you just want it for the frothiness.
I want the healthy fats.
I don't think you want the yolk in there.
I want healthy fats.
I still need egg in my drink, man.
It might be good.
Who knows?
I don't think you do. I'm going to egg your apartment. Don't, man. It might be good. Who knows? I don't think it changes.
I'm going to egg your apartment.
Don't do that.
It changes the consistency.
It's not as much as a flavor, I don't think.
You can't like scramble it.
My dad made me feel really bad one time.
We toilet papered somebody and like he brought up, he's like,
what if they're up there and they've got a ladder and they're cleaning it up
and the guy falls down, breaks his neck.
I was like, oh, God.
That's a whole mood you don't want.
That's not, yeah.
What's the opposite of a whole mood?
Canceled.
You told me you had a whole mood this weekend.
That dude's neck got canceled.
Gee.
You know the best way to get TP out of a tree?
You're a hypothetical guy, right?
The best way to get TP out of a tree is just light it.
I've heard that.
It just scares me. I've just never seen it done tree is just light it. I've heard that. It just scares me.
I've just never seen it done in...
Really?
Yeah, I've done it.
It just burns super fast.
Just don't do that if there's a burn ban.
Yeah.
These Texas droughts.
Sure.
We never forked anybody either.
Forking's messed up.
Don't fork people.
Somebody lit a bunch of black cats on my porch one time.
I ran out there.
I couldn't find them.
Someone poured gasoline in our front yard one time.
I'm going to start doing stuff to you guys.
Kill all the grass.
That sucks.
That was fucked up.
I'm going to start doing stuff.
Don't do that.
Head on a swivel.
Dude, I'm going to egg your shit, Dylan.
Yeah, I'm going to stockpile Rosie's poop.
I'm going to know who it is, man.
I'm going to turn you in.
Okay, prove it
don't do the flaming bag of dog poop
we're doing it
that's not a mood
how funny would it be to knock on Dylan's door
he walks out and we have like a water balloon launcher
like 30 yards away
we just let one fly
but it's filled with our piss
god
oh man that's what's filled with our piss. God. Oh, man.
That's, yeah.
What's wrong with y'all?
I'll get the potato gun on your ass.
There was this kid.
You and the homie just have like a cavalry?
Already.
You ever have like a friend growing up
that was just like full of shit?
Like just completely made things up
that were in no way true
and not even close to being
true everyone had everyone there's a kid there's a kid that i grew up with and he he once told me
and i don't know why he said that him and his brother were putting hot water and water balloons
and it caught their grass on fire oh hell yeah i was like man there is no way that's true that's
tight yeah i don't think he has a science to back that one up so the water was so hot the grass just went up yeah no that's tight yeah that's tight if you pour boiling water
on grass what's that dude's linkedin headline right now i think actually he's really smart
fuck he bullshitted his way to a good job type damn it went to like university i don't want to
give up too many details people will find him okay okay Went to like university. I don't want to give up too many details.
People will find them.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Went to like university, Texas, Dallas.
It's like a real math school.
Computers.
Oh, I make a lot of money.
I'm smart.
Can you believe it?
I'm an idiot.
Don't even have a Greek system.
It's like what?
What are you doing, bud?
Cool, man.
Have fun with your meniscus or whatever. experiment you're doing. Who's a dork?
Once you repair mine, I
fucked it up lifting weights.

Because of Stranger Things.
Ah.
Are we doing a Stranger Things season four recap that I don't know about?
There is a show upcoming that we have discussed.
Up what-ing?
Coming.
Anyway.
I believe it kicks off...
Don't look at me when you say that....August 11th. We've talked about it. Anyway. I believe it kicks off August 11th. Don't look at me
when you say that.
We've talked about it.
Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
I legitimately don't know
what you're talking about.
I know what you're talking about.
I saw a trailer for it last night.
You are the most excited
for this particular show.
Sir?
Oh, is it?
Yeah, I can't.
What I was going to do
is just weird.
What?
Nothing.
I just didn't want to do
the session I was about to do.
The session?
Suck.
Session.
Ah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
I diagrammed the word.
Yes.
That is the show I was referring to.
The final line of that trailer is incredible.
Something about how money always wins or something.
And I was like, this is just, I love this show.
Speaking of trailers, though, let's talk Top Gun real quick.
This dropped last week, last Friday, maybe?
Sounds right.
Yeah.
It was a whole mood.
No, it was Thursday afternoon because I was on the golf course.
Okay.
Playing nine.
This is a whole ass mood.
Ew. Okay. Don nine. This is a whole ass mood. This is. Ew.
Okay.
Don't make it gross.
I just don't think anybody's saying what you did,
but that's why you're you.
And,
uh,
so you want to just play the trailer audio?
Just let people listen to it.
Yeah.
Just listen to some like jets flying through the air.
Just listen to Maverick get dressed down.
I'm really excited for this movie.
Uh,
we've heard about, this is one of those things it's been talked about for like two or three years. I'm really excited for this movie. We've heard about,
this is one of those things
that's been talked about
for like two or three years.
Like, oh, it's happening.
Val Kilmer just confirmed.
And I'd forgotten about it.
Almost completely.
So when I saw that it was trending,
I was very happy.
Well, yeah.
And I think I had slight concern
because when we heard Point Break,
another classic 80s movie,
was getting a remake,
they dropped the trailer for that
and the trailer was like,
uh, okay.
Well, that was a straight remake
and they did other shit too.
They took a lot of liberties.
Yeah, and it was just terrible.
This is just a straight up sequel.
So I had my reservations
because I was like, okay,
the other movie in this realm that I enjoyed got botched. And then I watched this because I was like, okay, the other like movie in this realm
that I enjoyed
got botched
and then I watched this
and I was like,
okay,
and as you guys know,
I don't support Tom Cruise anymore.
That being said,
I'm 100% seeing this
in IMAX 3D.
So you are supporting him
in some ways.
I'm going to have Sally.
I'm going to make Sally
buy the tickets
and I'm not going to
Venmo her for him.
Like I was saying earlier,
he's the weirdest guy ever.
I don't support him either,
but man,
he is a badass. He really is. He don't support him either but man he's a badass
he really is he's a bad boy of movies there's a lot of tweets going around it's top it was
tom cruise in 86 when top gun dropped versus now and i mean do that dude has just aged in such a
great way oh no yeah for sure he's in great shape man he's got all that what is it he's got all the
tannins or whatever i would love to to look that, that COVID-19.
Well, you're the, you're the borderline Scientologist.
What is the thing that you do if you have like the good vibes or something?
Well, when he's holding the cans and just like talking.
Is that how it goes?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it's working.
When he's like on the Sea Org.
This is probably not even him at this point.
It's probably some other dude.
Hey, question.
That's a fair point.
So you said this was a sequel and of course it appears to be a sequel,
but why are some of these shots
from the trailer,
why do they appear to be
like a shot-by-shot remake
of the original movie?
I don't know.
The volleyball scene,
the piano scene.
I thought some of it
might have been flashback
because it definitely looks like
Goose at the piano.
It looks like him.
But it's a modern-day actor
and modern-day scene.
I don't know.
But I'm a little confused about that.
Look, the boys are going to get out there
and play some sand volleyball though.
I have one issue with this trailer.
That's what it looks like.
And so are we.
What's the issue?
That it was all Tom Cruise.
We got Miles Teller in this.
How are they not going to show
like one ounce of him?
Jennifer Connelly.
Like what?
Can't we get some of that?
That was a big deal when he got casted. When he got casted, Like what? Can't we get some of that? There was,
that was a big deal when he was about,
he got casted when he got casted.
Is that,
is he a pilot in the movie?
I'm going to assume he was,
but when he got casted,
it was like a big deal.
And like,
they didn't show one ounce of him.
He's a,
he's an A-list celeb at this point.
The jet action in this trailer.
Yeah.
That's what really put it over the top for me.
Do you think the,
the air force feels cucked?
Cause like,
I think, you know, everybody kind of assumes, like, when there's jets,
they're like, oh, yeah, fucking Air Force.
These are naval pilots.
I don't assume that.
I know.
I think that, but the general public, so, like, the Air Force, like, it's kind of their
thing, right?
And, like, to see, like, you know, the Navy get all the fucking love because of Top Gun,
they're probably like, well, fuck, we got to get something going.
So the Navy, they're the ones from the aircraft carriers, we got to get something going. So the Navy,
they're the ones
from the aircraft carriers, right?
Yeah.
Because, of course,
Naval.
Okay.
We know what we're talking about.
No, the scenes
where he's actually
in the fighter jet
and he's going
are so badass.
So badass.
I want to know how they did it.
Is this just really impressive effects on a green screen
in like a giant studio in LA?
You would think so.
Wait, like him in the cockpit?
Yeah.
Because it's not like they can,
from how it looked,
it's not like they can just like
have someone else flying in front of it
and have him in the,
I don't know.
They definitely have a lot of real jet footage.
Yes.
Like, so I wouldn't be shocked if, so that scene where he's flying like 10 feet off the ground in the they i don't know they definitely have a lot of real jet footage yes like so i i
wouldn't be shocked if so that scene where he's flying like 10 feet off the ground in the desert
and it looks really badass then he just goes straight up i'm sure there's a name for that
i don't know it um it's called edging yeah where he just edges the fuck out of it i bet that's real
yeah i'm not gonna doubt anything's i not going to doubt that anything's real
when it comes to the badass shit that is from a distance,
that they're taping from a distance.
But I think they have to put him on a green screen
and not have somebody else flying.
I bet they've got some shots of him actually flying in some way.
But yeah, you're right.
There's probably a lot of green screen.
You know, though, the thing about Tom Cruise is he does his own stunts.
I'm still of the,
he flies his own jets too.
I'm still in the,
uh,
the camp that thinks that he just doesn't anymore.
Oh,
they probably have flight simulators that are really,
really.
Yeah.
No,
I just don't think he does.
I think he's,
he's,
he's,
he's too big of a deal and he's getting too old that like,
if you're a producer of that movie and Tom Cruise wants to do his own stunts,
I'm like, no, if he dies,
all my money in this movie is gone.
I still believe that he does.
I don't believe it.
Because he's just,
he's been saying it for too long.
I've seen, you've seen video of him doing stunts
and even getting hurt.
He dug himself a hole too deep to get out of it.
There's no way.
I'm not saying there's no way, but I believe that he does.
No. He almost died during that
last Mission Impossible movie.
I'm sure that's propaganda
that they just put out. They showed the video.
I don't think he almost died.
Apparently he almost fell off of that
contraption that was hanging from the helicopter.
Oh, okay. I didn't know that.
Yeah.
Please no. Why do you want Tom Cruise to okay. I didn't know that. Yeah. Please, no.
Why do you want Tom Cruise to die?
I don't want him to die.
I saw some people complaining that the song playing throughout the trailer was not the Kenny Loggins hit, Danger Zone.
I'm sure we're going to hear it.
Yeah, we're going to hear it, dude.
I thought that trailer was fucking great.
Yeah. So, like're going to hear it, dude. I thought that trailer was fucking great.
It was a Top Gun theme, right? Yeah.
The trailer was perfect.
So, like, yeah, chill out.
Dude, when I heard those bells,
as soon as I realized The Undertaker wasn't coming out,
I was like, oh, fuck, it's Top Gun.
They have to holster some of the throwback stuff.
Yeah.
You can't just...
What if they just have someone really...
What if they have a Shawn Mendes remake of Danger Zone?
I will be very upset. Oh. And I'll mute them. What if it's like a Shawn Mendes remake of Danger Zone? I will be very upset.
And I'll mute them.
What if it's a whole mood?
That would be not even half a mood.
Who would be the equivalent of like a modern Kenny Loggins?
Like so a guy who can do an entire soundtrack himself.
Harry Connick Jr.
That's what he did for when Harry met Sally.
Is Bruno Mars the new Kenny Loggins?
Maybe.
Maybe.
This Twitter account,
they have
the Top Gun Twitter account that is
putting out GIFs like crazy of
just shots from the trailer.
They're giving out GIFs?
What are you saying?
GIFs.
Sorry, I meant to say GIFs.
There's a Top Gun Twitter account?
Yeah, they're doing a good job, man.
See, I hate to say this. top gun is i i think it's really
great and everything but it's not like i think in terms of how people view it i think i'm on the
lower end of the excitement when it comes to like the original movie i think it's sweet and i i
enjoy it and i like it but i don't get as like psyched up about hearing oh there's another one
and stuff like that.
That being said, the trailer kind of definitely
doubled my anticipation.
I think I'm most excited because Top Gun,
when it came out, an awesome movie.
We were in high school, man.
That would have been big.
It was a long time ago.
And all the special effects and all the action
was really, really cool,
and I enjoyed the shit out of it.
And now we're like, what?
Was it, when did it come out?
80-something?
Okay, so we're 30 plus years later.
Jesus.
The quality of those scenes is going to be so much greater now,
and that's what has me really excited.
This is going to be an IMAX viewing for me.
This will be day one.
How many dimensions are you going to see it in?
I think I'm going to see three.
I'm going to maybe go four. Don't let me. I'm going to get vertigo in that I think I'm going to see three. I'm going to maybe go four.
Don't let me.
I'm going to get vertigo in that theater, but I'll go with you.
I'm going to have to get.
I'm wearing my bomber jacket.
Should we dress up?
Yes.
I need to go with one of you guys.
If either of you see it in 3D, I would love to join you.
Sally cannot see 3D.
Therefore, I'm either going alone or with one of you.
Can you back up for a sec?
Her eyes can't see three dimensions, or she just doesn't like to go?
She gets nauseous.
Okay.
You know, they say that about dogs too.
They can't see the third dimension.
I just like, I'm like.
She walks around seeing everything in two dimensions.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like Mario art.
Mario clip art or whatever.
The paper.
Yeah, Mario paper.
Yeah, what was that?
That was stupid.
Mario clip art. is that what it's
called if i found one over my buddy's house and he was like let's play paper mario i'm like
this next three hours are gonna suck should i fake should i fake like a sickness right now yes
loser um when does it actually drop it just says 2020 oh great actual date yeah so we get to wait
like months for this yeah it's gonna's going to be a summer blockbuster.
It's got to be a summer drop.
Maybe 4th of July weekend.
That would be the move.
Yeah.
That would be the move.
Peak horniness for America.
I'm a little bit surprised they didn't drop this trailer on the 4th of July.
Maybe they didn't hit their deadlines.
I bet.
I honestly think that that might have happened.
Because that would have been perfect.
Everybody would have been
talking about it.
Oh, yeah.
Just at the pool
flipping burgers.
Did you see Maverick?
Oh, let me see your phone.
Let me see your phone.
Can you turn up the brightness?
The sun's really bright right now.
That was me
watching it at the golf course.
Hey, someone turned down that.
This bomber jacket is so tight.
Dude, when he's back at his locker.
Oh, my God.
He snags the aviators.
Are aviators going to come back?
Yeah.
Yeah, they are.
Buy stock in aviators right now. So gonna come back yeah yeah yeah they are but by by stocking in aviators right
now so uh jester's not in it i can't remember the actor's name i don't know let me look it up
yeah apparently he has a long-standing beef with uh who's the producer brockheimer why i don't know
i feel like that's for top Gun 2. Michael Ironside?
Is that his name?
That's what I'm being told.
Show me the photo.
It's him.
I mean, it's him.
For some reason, he's got beef.
I need to see it.
Also, whoever, whatever the actress's name,
the blonde, the love interest,
she won't be in it.
I mean,
if you have beef with the guy who's producing the second Top Gun,
that's going to make like boatloads of money.
You got to squash that beef,
right?
Yeah.
I don't think this,
I don't think this fellow is doing anything like really tight right now.
Kind of owe it to all of us,
to the country.
It's true.
Meg Ryan probably not going to be in this one either.
Correct. Or Anthony Edwards. Yeah. Probably. I know Meg Ryan. It's true. Meg Ryan probably not going to be in this one either. Correct.
Or Anthony Edwards.
Yeah.
Probably not.
Why no Meg Ryan?
That's unfortunate.
Isn't she kind of...
Maybe she will.
Isn't she kind of just do wild ass shit now?
She might have gotten a little weird.
I don't know.
The love interest, Kelly McGillis.
She kind of has a whole new look now.
I don't know.
What does that mean? I don't know. What does that mean?
I don't know if she does love interest roles anymore,
is what I'm trying to say.
Yeah, here's the thing.
She's aged a little bit.
Here you go, Dave.
See, she should have.
Yeah, I've seen this.
I've seen.
I'm on Twitter.
I'm not trying to be insensitive here,
but I just don't think she has the.
You're not trying to be.
I'm not trying to be.
I just am.
I mean, yeah.
She's probably around my age when this first dropped.
So if you fast forward however many years, 30 years, 35 years,
I'm going to look way worse.
I'll tell you what, though.
She was an absolute snack back then.
You know, maybe she should have given her life to L. Ron Hubbard.
They tend to age well.
Yeah.
She'd be doing her own stunts.
If you don't think the Scientologists have a lab
where they just inject
Tom Cruise full of shit
like you're crazy
she was just an
optimization station
yes 100%
oh he's got blood boys
it's like
have you guys heard
when they made Captain America
have you guys heard
what I'm doing
in the name of
optimization this week
no we've been talking
about everything
I'm doing my first
flow tank
oh really
oh cool
I want to see what it
feels like to be in a
fighter jet we'd love to know how it goes because I'm interested but I'm doing my first flow tank. Oh, really? Oh, cool. I want to see what it feels like to be in a fighter jet.
We'd love to know how it goes because I'm interested, but I'm not quite yet.
I think I'm going to do it either tomorrow or Wednesday, whenever I have some time.
It's like 60 or 90 minutes, something like that?
Yeah, they have different plans.
How about like a 20-minute one?
But there's one walking distance from my place.
See, my worry about
if it was too short
is that it would take me
a little bit to get into it.
I've heard that the first time
is more of a test run.
The second time
is when you really
start feeling
completely
void of all your senses.
What the fuck are you doing?
Is that cross Canadian raglan?
I don't know what happened there.
Sorry.
Dylan just started
playing music from his computer.
I didn't know how it happened.
That was definitely
Cody Cannon's voice.
Was that your James Blunt DVD?
Tell us the song.
Live at Wembley Stadium.
Tell us the song, Dylan.
I don't know the song.
It was on Instagram, David.
I clicked the wrong button.
Sorry.
I clicked the wrong button.
Fucking Micah over here.
I know.
That was a total Micah job.
Sorry, guys.
Sorry.
If you're trying to click the right button,
you need to mash that Harry's button.
You guys aware of this?
Yes.
A lot of guys buy disposable razors when they travel,
but this summer, you don't have to sacrifice quality for price.
Harry's delivers high-quality, travel-friendly shave supplies
at a great low price, just $2 per blade.
Yeah.
$2.
And these are the best blades in the game.
They've got their own factory, don't they?
Yeah.
Guess how many people have tried this?
I'd say 10 million.
I'll tell you, over 10 million.
Yeah.
Over 10 million and counting.
That's a lot.
That many people can't be wrong.
No.
Including the three of us.
I always say that.
No.
These guys were like, man, I'm sick of overspending on these blades with all these gimmicks and
all this bull crap and malarkey.
And they were like you
know what let's buy a blade factory in germany that's going to be the tightest blade factory
ever and now hell yeah they've got it all including a 100 satisfaction guarantee you don't need
vibrating heads heated blades handles that look like a prop in a sci-fi movie that's unnecessary
oh no instead this, refresh your wallet
and your face
with a Harry's Trial set.
It comes with a weighted
ergonomic handle
for an easy grip,
five-blade razor
with a lubricating strip
and trimmer blade
for a close shave,
a rich lathering shave gel
that will leave you
smelling great,
and a travel blade cover
to keep your razor dry
and easy on the go.
I will say this.
The cover is like the sneaky best part of this entire thing.
You can't just reach into your dop kit looking for your razor
and risk like nicking your fingertips.
Listeners of our show can redeem their trial set at harrys.com
slash circling back.
Make sure to go to harrys.com slash circling back to redeem your offer
and let them know we sent you to help support the show.
What next?
You guys see this Beto guy?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
He's doing a lot.
So this video emerged yesterday on Twitter.
It was an NBC guy who tweeted it.
Is he part of anything with Beto?
They'll send journalists to cover a candidate's campaign.
So he's just sitting in the airport?
They're supposed to be objective, but their job is to cover.
It's a little press pool.
They ride on the planes with them and stuff, get questions off,
and apparently do some videotaping.
So they're in the airport.
I don't remember where the airport was,
but from across the gate,
there's a video of Beto
just making his staff do push-ups with him.
Yeah.
How does this make you feel?
Annoyed.
Because he knows what he's doing.
He's not doing it just,
oh, let's have a little fun little push-up contest.
He knows that people are going to record it
and it's going to be on the internet
and people are going to be talking about it.
He's just a try-hard.
He's doing too much.
He's doing too much.
It would have been cooler
if he went to the airport Chick-fil-A
and ate a whole bunch of nuggets.
It was like, watch this.
I'm going to eat the fuck out of some nuggets.
Yes.
That would have been better.
That would have been better.
You think I can't eat 30 nuggets right now?
Watch this.
Watch this. I'm surprised he didn't stand on the shoeshine stand
and make a speech to everybody in the airport.
Man.
To be fair, somebody in that video,
I can't tell if it's Beto or not,
is really cranking out some push-ups.
He's getting his reps in?
Somebody's done push-ups before.
A lot of these people haven't. There's some people on their knees. It's always defeating. They have to Somebody's done push-ups before. A lot of these people haven't.
There's some people on their knees.
It's always defeating.
You have to do the knee push-up.
What was the number that we put on how many push-ups you guys thought I could do?
20?
No, I think it was high.
Just straight or in an hour time frame?
No, no, no.
To failure?
To failure.
To failure.
To completion.
I bet you can do 30.
I'm going to say 18.
That's insane.
No,
it's a lot or a little talking real pushup though.
Yeah.
All the way down,
all the way up talking Beto style.
My prime.
I think I did 46.
Really?
Yeah.
That's a lot of pushups.
Yeah.
Are you sure?
Yes.
A hundred percent.
We did it.
We,
we did a competition and I did 46 and then I was beat out by the, I was a second to last person. So I was like, I'm not stopping until competition, and I did 46, and then I was beat out by the...
I was the second to last person, so I was like, I'm not stopping until I have this.
And then the last person who went beat me by one.
I didn't think I would ever say this about you talking about physical accomplishments.
I was going to the gym at this time.
I'm impressed.
Please keep in mind I was going to the gym at this time.
I was doing core and plank exercises on the daily.
That's important.
I haven't been doing that lately.
Just FYI.
Not like you guys planking in that video
that Randy made for us yesterday.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You guys are planking and cranking in that video.
Well, that's what we do.
Right, Dave?
Sorry.
So.
So this is just a, this man is desperate.
Well, okay.
He's not polling well.
Last I saw in the polls, he was at about 2%. Yeah, you need more than that.
You need more percentage points.
I have bad news for Beto as well.
I feel like white males aren't going to get the VP nod at this point.
Okay.
I'm thinking about who...
I'm thinking like...
So presumably it's like Biden.
Let's say it's Biden.
He's not going to pick Beto.
He's not going to go...
He's definitely not.
You can't go white male on white male.
Unless it's like Elizabeth Warren.
I mean, I don't know the relationship between these things.
I just have concerns about his stance right now.
Yeah.
I don't know.
A lot of people I know really like Beto.
Everybody liked it when he was going to unseat Ted Cruz in Texas in the Senate run.
But now when it's time to put your money where your mouth is,
people just aren't, they're not doing it.
They're like, ah, you know.
They like the idea of getting Ted Cruz the fuck out of there,
but I don't know, man.
Ever since the Vanity Fair cover incident,
which I didn't think was that big of a deal,
he did kind of sound like a narcissist,
but yeah, he's a politician.
That's kind of how this works.
Yeah. I don't know. i actually don't hate him i do hate how hard whoever's managing his
campaign tries like he doesn't need to enter this he doesn't need to to to go on a stage in an
auditorium on a skateboard like he doesn't need to do that it's the publicity stunts that he's
doing that are so insufferable like yeah i don, I don't know. I don't know half of his politics.
And I just don't like the guy just solely based on the fact that he's like
playing Baba O'Reilly in a Whataburger drive through.
I think don't do that.
I think that a lot of that stuff.
So his background,
like he was in a band,
a punk band.
So he probably has like a good,
better than most politicians.
Like if you looked at like music they were into and say oh this dude was like deep in the scene that being said like
don't put that to the mainstream well they had something i forget what it was
uh let's see so in cedar rapids iowa they had a hall of Fame event and each of the Democratic nominees
decided to come out to a song
or something
and so all of the songs that people
came out to like Bernie Sanders
did Power to the People
Booker did
Lovely Day, Bill Withers
like
Yang of the Yang Gang
did Return of the Mac.
Oh, hell yeah, Yang.
Are you serious?
Why are we not more in on Yang?
I think I might be.
Elizabeth Warren did 9 to 5.
And then,
Beto did Clampdown
by, I think, the...
Who is it?
The Clash?
Yes.
Yeah.
He's a big Clash guy Yes. Yeah. I think.
He's a big Clash guy.
And it's just like,
why are you trying so hard?
All these other people are doing songs
that people can sing along to and dance to.
Return of the Mack is potentially the best one.
I'm looking at this right now,
and I have trouble seeing...
Bullock did Small Town.
I'm never going to turn down Small Town.
Wait, John Mellencamp?
I think so. They don't have the artist on this because I don't think the character is allowed. I'm never going to turn down small town. Wait, John Mellencamp. Uh,
I think so.
They don't have the artist on this because I don't think the characters
allowed.
I truly hate everything.
John Mellencamp has ever been a part of.
Oh,
come on.
Small town's great,
dude.
I just,
it's cause you,
you didn't grow up in a small town.
I really guess I didn't,
but he stinks.
I was more of a small to medium sized town.
What,
what song are you coming out to at the Democrat when you're running for president as a Democrat?
Coming out, like, just public enemy.
Just some public enemy song.
Wow.
Yeah.
I'm going fucking hard.
Or actually, I'll probably go Rage Against the Machine.
I'll come out to, like, People of the Sun.
That's so aggressive.
Since 1516
Will
your girl Marianne
came out to
Stevie Wonder
Higher Ground
what Tulsi come out to
we haven't talked about
Tulsi enough
let's see
Tulsi came out to
oh it's some weird shit
no
not at all
it was like Stevie Nicks
not at all
ain't no mountain high enough
Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell
okay
Tammy Terrell
Tammy Terrell
I honestly didn't even
like think that
like the female voice
in that got credit
I thought it was just
Stevie Wonder
or Marvin Gaye
well patriarchy so
you hate to see it
Dylan what are you
coming out to
which real just
generic song
from the last two years
are you coming out to
you're beautiful
I don't know man
you should come out
you should come out to
like Soulja Boy or something.
Not the original.
You'll do like, you'll do Rocket Man.
Pretty Boy Slay.
That doesn't have like entrance quality to it.
Like Rocket Man is more of a build up.
I packed my bags.
I'll probably just go to the standard Bone Thugs.
Something Bone Thugs.
No one's going out to Bone Thugs at a Democratic event in Iowa.
I'm not trying to win.
I'm just there. I'm just there for the story.
Ghetto cowboy.
The more we go into the segment, the more absurd
it is that Yang came out to...
Return of the Mack? Yes.
There's a UFC fighter, Anthony Smith.
He actually lost to Jon Jones a while back.
He comes out every time to Return of the Mack.
And I'm always like, dude, this is... I bet he does this because it just puts him in a great back. He comes out every time to return to the Mac. And I'm always like, dude, this is, I bet
he does this because it just puts him in a great mood.
Probably. Because you can't, that song comes on.
Yeah, it's a whole mood.
A big mood.
You walk out to that, you smile.
You're kind of laughing. De Blasio also came out
to a Clash song.
Who do you think came out first?
He cucked him on the Clash?
Yeah. Wait, what song was it?
Was it like London Calling?
Rudy Can't Fail.
I admittedly don't know that much of The Clash.
I only know their pop stuff.
I don't really know much of their deep shit.
But it's like when Corey,
in that first debate when Beto spoke Spanish
and then Corey Booker looked at him
like he had just seen something terrible
and it was like,
oh, it's because he just got Spanish cucked.
He wanted to meme him.
Yeah.
He wanted to become the meme.
At this point,
it's sad that like becoming a meme
might help your presidential chances.
It's true.
Wait, what'd you say you're coming out to?
Me?
Are you shocked that I hit you with it?
American Badass, bro?
That's a good one.
I think that makes sense.
I guess it does.
Edited version,
just in case there's any kids in the crowd. What would you edit? No, you gotta embrace it. What would you edit Badass, bro? That's a good one. I think that makes sense. I guess it does. Edited version, just in case there's any kids in the crowd.
What would you edit?
I'm going to embrace it.
What would you edit badass to?
Bad boy?
No.
I am American Bad Boy.
That does not have the same ring to it.
You'd have to change some other lyrics too
that rhyme with American Badass,
unfortunately, I think.
Dylan, I'm surprised you're not coming out to Gaga because everybody knows you're a little monster.
Oh, that's true.
Yeah.
Born this way.
Hell yeah.
That's it.
I think that actually goes hard for you.
Born this way, Gaga.
Dorn this way.
Get it?
People are like, Dylan, what's your deal?
You're like, baby, I was born this way.
She's just a special talent, David.
It's really unbelievable.
I'm coming out the poker face.
No, come on. But like the breakdown David. It's really unbelievable. I'm coming out the poker face. No, come on.
But like the breakdown part.
Maybe paparazzi.
She starts hitting bars.
Paparazzi goes.
Paparazzi.
I don't know.
I was out on paparazzi.
I'm out on you.
All right, good.
No one's forcing you to stay.
You can leave.
No, I'm in on this podcast.
I'm just out on you as a member of it.
I could definitely do more push-ups than Beto.
I just want to put that out there.
How many can you do?
I don't know.
I know I could do more than 50.
I don't have any idea how many I can do.
I bet I could do 80 push-ups i think i could before burning out yeah
the fact that okay no way the fact that you said 18 for me and then you put yourself at 80 is just
really rude i revised it and said 30 i think i said 18 okay i said 30 i don't but for the record
i don't think he can do 80 i don't think you can do 80 that's a lot of 80s too many i think i could
but 80s too many that's fair no it is lockeds too many. That's fair. No, it is locked here. I did over 100 in high school.
If you did over...
What?
True story.
Dude, I ran like a 615 mile in high school.
Yeah.
If I trained for like a year,
I don't think I could do that today.
Do you do real push-ups though?
Yeah.
Your chest touches the floor.
Dude, I fucking hit...
I lay on the ground.
I just throw myself up.
Wow.
No, my chest doesn't hit the floor completely.
My chest doesn't pop.
I don't have those B-cups.
I'm more of a wide guy, not an out guy.
You're very broad, yes.
Everyone says that about you.
Yeah.
No, but in high school, I did over 100.
No, so you just go.
The key was we would go bang out 10, hold yourself up, deep breath,
bang out 10.
So you just do that as many times.
That's the key is to do it in your head as sets.
Instead of just going like one and counting all the way, just crank out sets of 10.
I think if we did a push-up contest, I think we would have to have a clock.
Why?
I mean, I'm not a...
I think the burnout's the best way to gauge.
But how long do you let people rest for with full extension?
Well, they're not going to...
You can't really cheat the game.
Resting in full extension, you still get worn out.
Yeah, you're still wearing your shoulders.
I wouldn't take any rest.
I would just burn through as fast as I could.
Yeah.
Going in dry, I could bang out right now 40 push-ups without warming up.
You're not going 80.
That's a lot.
If you would have said 60, I would have given you that.
80 is a lot.
Next time, okay.
Next time we run into each other at the gym and it's like chest day,
I'll try it.
I'm going to record it.
But I reserve the right to not let you post a video.
No, no, no.
This has to be live.
This has to be live.
This has to be a live video
from Circling Back Instagram
at Circling Back Pod.
You might be able to do more than me.
That was demeaning.
No, it wasn't.
You might be able to do more than me.
I'm a chess guy.
Everyone knows that about me.
Pull-ups is where I make my money.
I can do a lot of pull-ups.
I have a pull-up guy body.
Small lower body. Decent size upper decent size upper body lightweight 155 pounds coming in lean you were the kid in high school that i hated
chin because yeah because you would get the presidential award for physical fitness because
you could do like 15 pull-ups like it was no sweat and then us thick boys down low like i got i got
tree trunks for legs.
I'm not pulling those up at my age.
I wasn't doing weight training at that point.
And that was the only thing that I couldn't do
to get the presidential award.
I got news.
I never got the presidential award.
In fact, I don't even know what the fuck that is.
Are you serious?
That wasn't a thing.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
You guys didn't do the physical fitness test?
Yeah, we didn't.
I don't remember getting an award.
Yeah, we didn't give them weird names.
Thank you, guys.
It sounds nationwide if it's presidential.
It's definitely nationwide.
The physical fitness test.
Let's see.
Presidential Youth Fitness Program.
We should do the physical fitness test.
It was fucking awesome.
For the next two weeks at the gym,
I'm going to do nothing but push-ups
in preparation for this.
Yeah, we would do it.
You guys never did this?
You had to do,
so you had a series of things that you had to do.
You had to do a shuttle run,
a mile run,
a sit and reach,
like where you had to see how far past your toes
you could get your hands.
That was also the hard one.
That's bullshit.
I can't even touch my toes.
A lot of people would get screwed over for that one too.
And then...
I don't like this criteria.
Let me see.
Like it discriminates against...
They've definitely made this lamer.
Because enough people complained?
Like just the words that they have there that they're using
for this i can't find it now you got to send out a micro tweet yeah like how micro did your tweet go
i can't believe you guys didn't do that it was fun i really enjoyed the shuttle run we did fear
we had field day that was just like the big competition the relay race tug of war no this
was like a thing and then you'd get like um we had a thing like you had to you to run a mile that kind of thing i ran a sub five minute mile in high school that's not true
i was never good long distance man i think i did run between seven and eight minutes which
i don't think that's impressive it's not okay i found i found what you had to do ready
so in order to so the presidential physical fitness test awards uh you had to do. Ready? So the Presidential Physical Fitness Test Awards,
you had to get in the 85th percentile of all kids.
In order to qualify for this award,
participants must achieve at least the 85th percentile
in all five activities represented below.
This is old.
So this is like old school.
This is from 98.
You couldn't quite cut it?
Dude, I couldn't do that
i couldn't do the pull-ups so you had to curl ups let's say you're 17 because in your hometown as
you know sure what's a curl up that's like a sit-up okay you had to do 55 in a minute
okay that seems like a decent number
I'm trying to think of like the fitness test
To get into like the army or whatever
Yeah
Well this I mean like they said
85th percentile David
55 sounds pretty tough
Shuttle run you had to do in 8.7 seconds
Okay
The V-sit
Which is a sit and reach
That's what Dylan was doing this weekend
You had to get 7 inches
Seems like a lot That's what Dylan was doing this weekend. You had to get seven inches.
That seems like a lot.
That's no problem.
Past your feet?
Yeah.
Oh, but your legs are spread?
No, they're not spread.
This is a V-sit.
No, the V is your body and your legs, your torsos. No, but I don't remember exactly what you had to do.
Because no one can reach seven inches past their feet
if their legs are out straight.
You're not giving birth.
Yeah, they can.
Sally could right now.
Oh, maybe that is. Sally could 100 could 100 do it right now i was thinking
the v like an ab exercise you don't know shit there's the v reach and then okay so you choose
one there's the v sit reach where i think your legs are out and then there's the sit and reach
where you have to go 41 centimeters how many centimeters are how many inches are in 41
centimeters there's no way to look that up no No one knows. You can't look that up. It is 16 inches.
So I think there's...
We had like a contraption
that we had to do it on top of.
And then the final things were the...
What?
I don't know.
The final thing...
One mile run.
If you're 17,
six minutes, six seconds.
I can't do that.
I've never been able to do that.
Pull-ups, you had to do 13. Right. Pull-ups, you had to do 13.
Right angle push-ups,
you had to do 53.
13 pull-ups?
Mm-hmm.
What's a right angle?
Without, like,
letting go of the bar?
Mm-hmm.
What's a right angle push-up?
That's not easy.
I feel like that's...
Just, like, on flat surface?
I think that's just
normal push-up.
Okay.
It ain't easy.
It doesn't easy.
So what happens if you win the presidential award?
You just go to the White House and they serve you like five for five?
You just get a tight certificate.
You got long John Silvers waiting on you and you get to meet Trump. It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't do this anymore.
It would be a whole movie.
It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't do it.
Trump got rid of it because he doesn't believe in working out
because he thinks the human body is like a battery.
Yeah.
Good point. I kind of love that take.'s a terrible take i love it though it's just wild my buddy i'm not gonna out him but yesterday he uh his two meals popeyes
followed up with for dinner with mcdonald's oh man one day you can't do that. In fact, no one's doing that.
I was like, dude,
is everything okay?
That's a valid, valid question.
The move,
if you're going to eat fast food twice in a row,
the move is just getting double the Popeyes in your first run
and then heating it up that night.
I don't know which move I hate worse.
Well, no, that ain't it.
Are you serious?
That ain't it.
What about that is not it? You don't like I hate worse. That's well, no, that ain't it. Are you serious? That ain't it. What about that?
It's not it.
You don't like reheated mashed potatoes.
Don't want up on,
it's not bad reheated,
but just like doubling up twice in one day for dose meals.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just don't like McDonald's that much unless it's the fries.
Okay.
We'll replace McDonald's with like whatever you do,
like Wendy's or Wendy's has a better menu.
No,
give me the Popeye's.
No,
I'm obviously. Yeah, but it's Pope a better menu. No. Give me the Popeyes. No, I'm obviously.
Yeah, but it's Popeyes plus.
Should we talk about the British Open?
It's the Open Championship, sir.
I know.
I'm just I'm making it more approachable
for the people at home.
You really are.
I don't you do best.
I don't really care what people call it.
I don't either.
I got this over there.
Yeah, like it's whatever.
To only two of us got to watch it.
Yeah, did you ever figure out
how to turn it on?
I could stream it.
I went to, I guess,
NBC.com
and then my U-verse login
still allowed me to watch it.
Oh, they didn't think
far enough to turn that off.
Yeah.
Good call, guys.
My TV, no.
It was weird.
Well, it wasn't weird.
They're in a dispute.
No, it's weird that I could watch it online
but not through my TV.
Yeah.
As far as the drama yesterday,
there wasn't much.
The only drama was,
at one point,
was Brooks Koepka going to choke out J.B. Holmes.
Like, just have him slowly tap out.
Put him in like a bulldog choke.
Did you see the quote that Brooks had said?
Not this weekend.
He didn't say it this weekend.
This was before the Open.
But he said something about how he would,
if he was playing with somebody slow,
he would purposely tank in order to get put on the clock
so that the other guy would get put on the clock.
He said he would just go hang out in the bathroom.
He'd hang out in the bathroom for five minutes,
which, like, come on, you were taking a dump.
Like, just admit it.
Probably doing push-ups, honestly.
Maybe.
How many could he do?
I bet he could probably do more than me.
Probably.
Although he's a bigger guy.
He could probably do that.
What's his wingspan?
No one knows.
Great question.
But, yeah, J.B. Holmes is the slowest guy on tour.
span no one knows great question but yeah jb holmes is the slowest guy on tour uh it was there were some quotes yesterday one of the quotes was um he mentioned how jb holmes doesn't even
start thinking about his shot until it's his turn to hit like most people you sit there when you
have you know and you're down time and someone else has hit the ball you you he doesn't play
yardage and you put your glove on,
and you choose your club, and you start taking some practice hacks.
He doesn't do any of that until, all right, now my partner has hit.
It's my turn.
Let's start thinking about the shot.
He doesn't play what they call ready golf.
Yesterday, I mean, they were making fun of him on the first tee yesterday
because he had the same distance all week, same club,
and he still didn't even do anything. He changed clubs.
And then he put one out of bounds and he went back
and did it again. And Zinger,
I love Zinger. I know a lot of people
are still out on him, but I
enjoy Zinger in the booth.
He said, dude, he's known he's going to hit here for 23
hours.
That's a good point.
Everybody hits the same club.
It's either like a hybrid or like a three iron, right?
Off of one.
Yeah.
It's the most boring tee shot on the course.
Although it was playing pretty tough yesterday.
He also shot an 87.
So.
I feel bad for him.
But.
I don't feel bad for him.
It is frustrating though.
I don't feel bad for him at all.
I don't like.
I never really liked J.B. Holmes in the first place.
I don't like him when he's on my leaderboard. Holmes in the first place. I don't like him
when he's on my leaderboard.
It can affect your game
if you're playing with someone like that.
Like, it absolutely can.
Think about playing with someone shitty.
Yeah.
That takes forever
and you're like,
fuck,
I have like 10 minutes
between my shots.
Yeah.
It's not even fun to play
with like one of you guys
if you're having a bad day.
I mean,
come on.
It's not.
Come on, man.
You especially,
you get really grumpy.
Come on, man. You're a grumpy boy on the course if you're playing like shit. Yeah, that's not. You especially. You get really grumpy. Come on, man.
You're a grumpy boy on the course if you're playing like shit.
You've been playing good.
You had a good stretch lately.
I had a good run.
You don't have to worry about it, but it's not fun to play with people that are grumpy.
I hear you, man.
Yeah, JB.
I didn't hear his post around press conference.
I did hear Brooks.
You know, Brooks, the Twitter was a buzz.
Apparently, he looked at one of the rules officials
and pointed it down at his wrist.
Yep, I saw that too.
Kind of like, hey, man, let's get it going here, bud.
Yeah, let's move on.
Kepka said, we were on pace for 13 holes,
but I mean, if I'm in a group,
we're going to be on pace no matter what.
Yeah, we get it.
You're in good shape.
Yeah.
No, he's right. That're in good shape. Yeah.
No, he's right.
That was like legit the only drama.
When Tom,
when like after four or five holes
when like Tommy
had had some chances
to cut it to three
and just wasn't making putts,
I was like,
well, this isn't good.
Nothing's happening.
No one's going to make a charge.
You want one person
to at least make it interesting.
I didn't want Shane Lowry
to blow it.
No, that's right.
I didn't want somebody
to push it, get it to two strokes or something
there was so little drama that i decided to go to the grocery store in the middle of the round
yesterday i was like well it's gonna be quiet there let's go and the weather was dope yesterday
they got the big downpour big wind love it that's what you want out of an open championship weather
but you so you tech you texted something and i thought to myself like well like
there's no good
scenario for this becoming interesting because it's either going to be Shane Lowry, like
shitting the bed.
I guess the good scenario would have been Tommy Fleetwood going low, but it got to the
point where it's just like, yeah, this isn't going to happen.
This isn't fun.
And so I got really scared.
Yeah.
I feel like I get more scared in British Opens about guys crumbling just because of Vanderbilt than I do in other ones,
which is not just at all.
It's so there.
Yeah.
No, it definitely is, especially with the weather can change on a dime, right?
But they knew going in it was going to be bad.
They moved up the tee times.
Is there a Marine layer there?
That's a great question.
I had a lot of people asking me that. I told them him to hit dorn up dorn is the expert on that yeah i looked it up now there's in fact there's no marine layer there
it just gets over that part of the part of the world
poor that being said the videos coming out of shane lowry celebrating are really really good
right now yeah he probably feels great today he's raging He's on an endorphin non-hangover thing
where he woke up and still felt great.
He's probably back in having a beer right now.
He's a pint, even.
His first team would like to drink a beer with List for me.
He's up there.
He seems like a cool-ass dude.
He's a first-team good lad.
Good lad.
Saturdays are for the lads now, after him.
Sure, sure.
Did you see my tweet yesterday about his beard?
Yeah.
Yeah.
He needs it.
Yeah.
He needs it.
They were showing
some highlights
from when he won
the Irish Open
when he was an amateur.
Not good.
Completely different human.
Yes.
Looks better now.
You know what?
We haven't brought up
the fact that we watched him
dunk that shot
at the Dell Match Play.
That was tight. I kind of forgot that was him.
That's the one y'all think I didn't see. You did not see that.
You came back like, oh, that was tight.
Dylan was grabbing micro-brews at the stand,
talking to some college kids
with their dad's lanyards on.
Okay.
How much of that's true?
He threw his
club after he made it. I saw the whole thing.
It was very tight. Yeah. It was cool.
It was very, very tight.
It was a cool moment.
Tiger dunked one there, too.
A lot of people confuse him with Mark Leishman.
Yeah.
Because they're chunky boys.
I'm one of them.
Absolute chants.
Leishman's not European, though.
No.
He's Australian?
New Zealand?
Aussie.
Aussie, I believe.
Yeah.
South African?
What is he?
He's Australian.
No one knows, man.
It's impossible to look up to.
You're just naming places.
Those are like all the same to me at this point.
Like the accents, I just can't pin down.
I can't do an Australian accent.
What are y'all shooting Sunday at Port Rush?
Yesterday's conditions?
Yep.
So if one of the worst rounds ever was an 87 by J.B. Holmes,
a guy who was playing well all week,
I think I'm shooting 110.
From the tips, 110.
That might be generous.
How far does it play from the tips?
Hard to say.
Hard to say, yeah.
Some of those par threes.
I feel like that's where you get screwed as an amateur golfer.
When you're playing from the tips is par par threes become par fours for
you.
Cause even if you can get it there with like a big stick,
it's going to be very difficult to get it on the green.
No matter what you might be able to get it up pin high in regulation,
but you're not getting,
I don't know.
It's just a little more daunting.
I mean,
if I got the putter going,
maybe 80.
I felt like I was just hitting it the best out of the entire field yesterday,
but I couldn't make any putts.
Brooks said that.
Yeah, he said something to the effect of no one was hitting it better than me.
I don't think he was wrong.
He was hitting the ball very well.
He missed a lot of putts.
He did shit the bit yesterday.
Yeah, yesterday was not good.
It was nice to see him do that.
I'll be honest.
I did not want to see him. He wasn't going to make a run that strong unless Lowry crumbled.
But I kind of like seeing Brooks be human.
Yeah.
I'm waiting for the takes of...
You know, because he had that statement before the tournament.
When you see me on TV, that's when I play golf.
Maybe he should play more golf.
Cool.
Maybe.
No, I think he's doing okay.
I haven't seen that Fuego take.
I'm sure...
Who's the one that I really can't stand?
Colin Coward?
He'll have that take. he's my kryptonite i'm surprised shambly doesn't have that take i i am gonna look out
for it because i could maybe see it i can't bring myself to follow him on twitter
he'll make you think about lifting your heel off the ground on your back swing
he likes to break down old swings
and talk about why the modern swing is not as great.
Man, I love that kind of guy.
Great content.
I love the old school golf guys who just want to talk about how great it used to be.
Something that is actually great, though, is rowback.
Uh, yeah.
R-H-O-B-A-C-K.
Oh, yeah.
Polos, quarter zips, performance tees.
They got new ones dropping soon.
Are you guys aware of that?
Yeah, I'm very aware, Will.
And the hats.
Yes.
My black hat is one of my favorite hats that I own currently.
It's very, very comfortable.
They are so comfortable and very well fitting.
Yeah.
I'm not surprised I shouldn't be at this point.
Top two criteria in a hat.
Yeah, the quality of rollback is just surpassing everything I could have ever expected,
and I shouldn't be surprised at this point, but it's just such a good hat.
You can also, someone pointed this out to me,
you can also, when you get a polo, you can get a matching handkerchief for your dog.
That's tight.
Yeah.
Wow.
I actually keep my handkerchief, and I have a few.
I keep one of them in my golf bag, and I use it in hot weather.
Are you saying handkerchief?
Yes. Okay, I don't know if I've been saying it wrong all these years, but I always said handkerchief and i have a few i keep one of them my golf bag and i use it in hot weather are you saying handkerchief yes okay i don't know if that's i don't know if i've been saying it wrong all these years but i always said handkerchief i think it's a regional thing
i said chief he says chief okay it's okay you're doing fine well yeah i don't care
my sister hit me yesterday she said hey is is rollback like for like younger folks like
i was like it's for everybody why she's like i was thinking about getting my
dave like my brother-in-law, some rollback.
I'm like, he would love that.
Did you tell her to use promo code CB20 for 20% off?
Yeah.
You have to.
You absolutely have to.
CB20 for 20% off at rollback.com.
R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com.
Do it.
Let's finish up today's episode by talking about a show that we've been kind of talking lightly about all season,
but last night it came to an end.
Season wrapped up.
Aren't there rumors that it might just never come back?
I haven't seen these rumors.
There are rumors.
Big Little Lies.
Last night was the finale.
No, the rumors are there's an issue
on the production side
because there's a lack
of creative control
in some of the parties
that think they should have more.
I think some was taken away
from people
in the middle of the season.
Oh, I actually read this.
Yeah.
There's also concerns about
Who?
Taken away from who?
It's one of the writers.
Yeah, writers and shit
and producers
and started meddling.
Sepinwall.
Alan Sepinwall.
If you type in Alan Sepinwall, Big Little Lies.
He started going wild with the script?
I don't know.
They had to reign him in?
He's a critic, but he breaks it down pretty well.
I did read this.
I can't remember any of it, but I know what you're talking about.
But I also think they're having trouble with the idea of locking down all these people
for numerous seasons after, too.
It's like trying to keep the Warriors together.
It's just not going to happen.
Yeah, that's understandable.
You can't do it. Salary cap and shit. All those big names names and then it gets really popular they're gonna and you know who you know
who is the breakout player that's gonna get paid and i might even compare to the clay thompson of
the girl lord durr yeah even though everybody knew she was a great actress this season she
has just been she was awesome a goddamn wild girl she was awesome this season. Awesome. I mean, you
knew the second she walked in and saw those toys, she was
ripping those into shreds. I knew. Oh, by the way,
if you don't watch
Big Little Lies and you don't want to spoil it or
something,
see you Wednesday. Yeah.
Turn off the episode. Also,
if I give away a major plot point of Breaking
Bad, don't hit me on Twitter
that I spoiled it
because the show's been off the air for a decade, I believe.
Jesse!
Either way, I thought this season was awesome
compared to last season.
Yeah, I enjoyed it much more than I did last season.
It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be.
I had low expectations.
I kind of thought season one was...
I mean, I know it was a book,
and I know they couldn't show everything in the book and whatever, but I thought that it was um i mean i know it was a book and i know they
couldn't show everything in the book and whatever but i thought that it was all just a little a lot
of build-up for a dude falling down 10 steps i was like that didn't really the payoff wasn't
there for me at that point yeah not a whole lot happened up until that last episode for me yeah
but this one was just like their lives were falling apart from the jump. It was great.
What I enjoyed about it was that all of them were dealing with different things.
And it was just seeing... I really enjoyed the character development of seeing how each of them handled the adversity
along with all the other bullshit they had to deal with.
Was it...
Did it surprise you that this season just like it became about,
obviously there was everybody's like personal issues,
but became a custody battle.
Like that's how the whole thing,
that was like the pinnacle of the,
of the season.
I think it was like the perfect storm for what it,
for the season,
because it brought out things that people had to confront.
Like Shailene Woodley's character, like she had, it, it brought out things that people had to confront. Like Shailene Woodley's character.
Like she had, it brought out the courts,
like last night's court scene where they talked about
how she was raped by Andrew Skarsgård.
It brought out like, I mean, it brought in Meryl Streep,
which was what we all wanted.
Yeah, that was weird that ending didn't really,
there wasn't a ton of payoff
and maybe there wasn't supposed to be,
but like,
it was just like,
well,
all right,
she's going back to San Francisco now.
She came down,
taking her ball and going home.
Didn't get the kids.
I don't know.
I thought that there would be more
something after that.
It was just,
I thought that was like
the only payoff though.
There wouldn't have been any payoff
had they gotten like
joint custody or something.
Um,
no,
but they weren't going to do
joint custody.
Yeah.
There was a lot of issues with,
I don't know what other ending
you could have given
the custody battle though.
No,
not,
I'm not saying like
what the judge,
the judge found.
I'm saying more like
just her afterward.
I don't know.
It was like,
I felt like that there should
have been one more scene. Not that there should have been one more scene not that there should have been but i was i was a
little surprised we didn't get some kind of scene with her and nicole kidman after the fact i don't
know it was just her in her car going home and i was like wow that's it that's how she's peacing
out i did think it was kind of cool to see nicole kidman just like go at her in the courtroom and just be like alpha as hell type a and then
the scene like immediately following or maybe it was two scenes later or something of her sitting
in the car with Reese Witherspoon just completely like still kind of disheveled and not knowing
what's going on and thinking she might not be a good mom thinking all this stuff and it was just
like dude like just the amount of stuff you have to grapple with in this situation was just crazy i just enjoyed it i like the dichotomy of the two
what do you think of the ending
um i think if we don't get a third season it's gonna be kind of like what the hell what are we
supposed to like what's going on like what happened um i don't know i mean obviously we
assume they're going into the police station to confess.
Right?
Mm-hmm.
Maybe they're not.
Maybe there's something else going on.
I don't know.
I feel like the way that they left it open for like just ending for good.
Yeah, that's also a possibility.
They're all in trouble.
Yeah.
To varying degrees.
But here's the thing um
zoe kravitz's character like okay so there's i don't know california law but it's like okay
she was she was it was defense of a third person um even if even if let's say that they they wanted
to arrest her for that um like a grand jury is not going to indict her.
They're going to find out all this backstory,
and it's going to be very, very unlikely
that she's going to face a murder charge.
What about the fact that they covered up the story?
Yeah, so obstruction of a police investigation,
false information.
Yeah, but I'm assuming most of them don't have um records
and probation it's like it'll be a minor inconvenience for their lives then celeste
can get hit with a perjury charge right probably wait because during the proceedings the
custody oh she straight up lied about that. I can't remember, but maybe.
Okay.
What did she lie about?
When
Mary Louise's lawyer
was asking her about
her husband dying, getting pushed,
and the whole scene about him falling on the stairs,
she said that
he fell and was not pushed.
Okay. I don't remember yeah because remember zoe i remember paying attention to it and trying to say like trying to think myself like is she
leaving this open like is she not saying everything just to cover her ass either way um
it was tight the scene between this is tight. The scene between Meryl Streep and Kidman at the end,
or I guess not the end.
It was kind of in the beginning of last night's episode.
I thought it was awesome.
I thought the way that Meryl Streep acted,
I mean, the camera was right in her face for a majority of that,
and she was very convincing.
But I guess
it's not really
a surprise.
She was convincing
all season.
Yeah.
She was good.
I'm sure she'll get
a nomination.
I think she'll probably
get a dub
just with her reputation
and her performance.
She'll probably be up
against Laura Dern.
But she's,
but I'm confused
because they must be
waiting for next year's
Emmys because
they're not up
for anything this year.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's gotta be right. Well, that coffee shop
scene with them too was good.
Yeah. Real good. Yeah.
I love seeing it. Laura Dern flying off the handle.
I just need more of that. She's unhinged.
Just give me more. Give me a spin
on it. I want to know how she
rebounds because she's going to be fine.
Whether she breaks up with what's-his-name
or leaves him, she's going to go and she'll
make money. Well, it's not like-name or leaves him, she's going to go and she'll make money.
Well, it's not like she...
Okay, yeah, they're bankrupt.
But it's not like she doesn't have a really good job.
It's true.
So, yeah, they're going to seize a lot of stuff from her.
But at the same time, she's a well-connected human being.
They'll be fine.
Her husband is such a shitbag.
He's so deserved to get his shit smashed in.
Probably got some stock options.
You can sit there with your feet propped up on your toy that you got to keep
and talk shit about sleeping with the mayor.
That seemed a little out of character for him.
I agree.
Yeah.
It seemed a little out of character.
It was like he kind of had a little turn there where it was like,
now he's just a complete dickhead.
I have nothing more to lose mindset.
Like, I'm just going to talk shit now.
I thought early on in the season, I told my wife this.
I said, when he got arrested and all that shit,
I was like, dude, he's going to end up offing himself.
And I thought she was going to come home last night
and he was going to be hanging or something.
But I was like, that might be a lot for the final episode.
But no, instead he just kind of turned into a guy
with an unrepentant dickhead.
Yeah, I'm trying to look.
It doesn't look...
I can't tell what they're
saying about season three.
Major shouts to CNN, though,
just talking about season three
with their headline and then just putting in a bunch of tweets
from no-name people asking for a season three.
That's really great journalism there that they did.
That is such shit.
Yeah.
You guys absolutely crushed that, CNN.
Jesus.
I think Yahoo,
this is completely different,
but Chris Pratt,
we talked about this at dinner the other week,
he wore the Gadsden flag shirt.
It says,
don't tread on me,
the snake, you know?
And Yahoo did a thing.
People were calling out Chris Pratt, and they did the same thing.
They just embedded five tweets from random people who were like,
oh, Chris Pratt's a racist.
Yeah, that's so stupid.
So, okay, you ready for this?
I have the information.
Let's go.
This is from HBO president Casey Bloys.
Sundays are for the Bloys.
He said, I love this group of people.
I would do anything with them,
but the reality is they are some of the busiest
working actresses in Hollywood.
We have deals with some of them.
Nicole Kidman is doing her next show,
The Undoing, with us.
I just think it's not realistic. Okay. That man that's okay yeah i get it to have that
power team together for two seasons it's a good job yeah take your emmys go home yeah i think if
they if they even do one more it's got to be the end like even if they do it there's no there's
never going to be a season four.
I'd put season three, I'd actually give a
decent percentage because I think if people
really show they want it, they'll
be like, you know what, let's do one more.
Let's run it back. I don't think they need it though. Maybe some bonus
content. I don't hate the open-ended idea
of just them going into the police station,
supporting each other, going through it, and just leaving
it up into interpretation. I'm fine with it.
You know what they should do instead of a show is just a podcast.
They should.
They should. That'd be tight.
They can do it on our Patreon.
The little girl with the good music taste can produce it.
This show, my biggest issue
with this show is how all the kids portrayed
are like cool as fuck.
They all dress cool like
the older daughter
had the cool hat on last night like come on nobody's this cool none of these kids are awkward
i mean yeah did you did you see pft comment i didn't even know he watched big little lies but
he had some really funny tweets last night about it did you see them he said uh hold on. I'm going through his stuff right now.
OJ had some tweets recently, Dylan.
I know he did.
Actually, the response to one of his recent tweets was among the best we've seen.
Maybe we'll talk about it on Wednesday.
Somebody, they do a show on The Ringer called Big Little Live.
Not the most inspiring of titles,
but,
uh,
he responded to it and he said,
rolling in the sand,
fully clothed to distract your son from telling you who he wants you to sleep
with good parenting or great parenting.
I was like,
yeah,
that was kind of weird that the son was just like,
you need to be with him.
Uh,
what do we think about him?
Surfer guy,
love interest.
Don't care at all about him.
Dweeb.
Yeah, he's very punchable.
Yeah.
He also said,
no spoilers,
but was hoping Laura Dern
would have killed her husband
by curb stomping him
into a vertically positioned toy train.
Okay.
Okay.
She did hit him in the ribs.
That looked painful.
Yeah.
Bruised ribs are no joke.
I don't even know if that's a bruise.
I think that's a break.
That's even worse than a bruise.
He should just have his ribs removed.
Marilyn Manson style.
He might have to because I think he's getting divorced.
That's true.
Have fun asking your own deep, buddy.
I'm sure he will.
