all right we're back circling back podcast it's monday my name is will freeze to my right dave rough having the fourth of july on a thursday it's great it's ideal until monday rolls around i feel like this is a very low energy Monday. Not for us. I feel like we're all doing pretty well, but across the country. To the backers out there. I think to the general office employee,

this is one of the worst days you could possibly have. Well, the longer the weekend, the worse the Monday. Yeah. That's how it usually shakes out. For your entry-level folk, I think most of them probably had a four-day weekend. Yes.

For your big dogs, your account execs and stuff, it took the whole week. There's a lot of people coming in today who are sunburned. It's a smart move to take vacation over last week. For sure. If you did that and you thought ahead, you're saving vacation days out the ass. Great for you. Is it worse coming back from a vacation, you're saving vacation days out the ass. Like great for you. Is it worse coming back from a vacation since you're the only one taking time off as opposed to everyone taking time off together for a holiday? I get anxiety coming back from vacation because I feel like when I walk in the office, people

look at me like, oh, look who's back. Like this fucking guy. Even if they're kidding, I still feel the guilt. I still feel weird about it. And it still kind of just makes me feel icky. I think vacation is probably worse. And like, if you come back sunburned from a vacation,

like everyone's just looking at you, like get a load of this asshole. Like what's your fucking deal? Like, dude, you had time off to just use it. Sorry. I think is it's Thursday.

The best day for the 4th of July to fall on. Probably. I think Wednesday you can make a case that some offices might make you come back for Thursday, Friday. True. Whereas Thursday, like making people come back on Friday, it's like, ah.

And if it's Monday, Tuesday, you know you've got to start the week off right after your holiday. Yeah. But you do have a short week going into it, so that's not that bad. I'd almost rather have the 4th of July on Monday or Tuesday

and then have a three-day week after than have it on Wednesday and have two days to go back to work after. That's just brutal. I liked having it on the Thursday because Friday and Saturday were low-pressure days. You could just stay in and recoup. You could rest. But if you wanted to get out and get after it, you could a little bit. Well, the cool thing, it's kind of inconvenient when 4th of July falls on a Saturday

because, one, you don't get a free vacation day unless your company just makes it like the friday before vacation day and two you're forced to hang out with like like girls and stuff and saturdays are for the boys yeah that's a big problem a lot of people have had that problem people messaging me, what should I do? I was like, dude, I don't know, man. It's tough, man. I had my longest drive home yesterday in over a decade, and it was fucking terrible. Like, I don't like doing eight-hour drives.

No. Not fun. No, that's, I hate road trips, man. Did you drive through any rain? No, no, all clear. The traffic and everything like that, weather, everything was pretty fine. We had a couple traffic stops

with some people rubbernecking, other people changing tires on the side of the road, which like, we could do a whole steam room segment on people that slow down to look at people on the side of the road. Like, what are you doing?

Were they stopping to look or were they stopping like out of a caution there was there was one and it was the biggest holdup we had and we were like man there must be a bad accident up here what it turned out to be was just a family that looked like they had about a million kids on outside of their car on the side of the highway with the dad changing the tire that was it like the car was far enough off the road that you probably didn't really even need to slow down that much. You just needed to get maybe in a lane over.

And it was as if there was like a 20 car pileup. How much do you fear having to change a tire on the side of the highway? Specifically, if you're pulling over onto the shoulder on the right side, it's on the tires either the driver's side. That's brutal. Like there's always stories like five a year, just in Dallas of people who were pulled off, pulled off doing that,

who just get smoked. Yeah. It's scary. It's scary. I will do what I can to get to the exit. Yes. That's a fear of mine. I mean,

it makes more sense to damage like your car than it does to like risk your life i just because like you're having to trust the drivers you're you're trusting other people to not be on their phone texting because just a little swerve into your under the shoulder you're done and you see uh you see dash cam footage of cops getting smoked they're in just routine stops, too. It's terrifying. Yeah, man. I saw a truck driver just pulled over yesterday, and he just got out of the truck, and he was just doing calisthenics. He was just doing exercises on the side of the road.

He was probably really sleepy. No, it was awesome. Yeah. I loved it. Yeah. And getting tired on the highway, scary. I've considered pulling over and running sprints or something just to get the blood flowing. I've hallucinated like late at night driving after like a long drive.

And I've been like driving and I kept thinking I was seeing deer on the side of the road. And sure enough, there were none. But it was bad. I really should have pulled over. This was pre-podcast. This was pre even having like a phone to look at directions on. I had MapQuest out.

Just to print out? Yeah. The printout with the highlighter. You get the highlighter running over your little map. Yeah, I've done that move many times. It sucks. It does suck. My old car, if you popped open the glove compartment

or the console, there was probably wadded up MapQuest. Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure. What a fucking beating. God, people were so stupid back then. Like, you even had to make sure your printer had ink

in order to, like, do it. Like, develop an app. Fucking idiots. Jesus. Should we get some housekeeping out of the way? Yeah. I think first and foremost,

we need to formally announce that we are going to be recapping this season of Stranger Things. I thought you were going to formally announce that we are going to be recapping this season of stranger things i thought you're going to formally announce dylan oh yeah oh hey guys perfect actually that was great timing 609 and we got dylan what's up dog nice um man i'm just happy to be here as always that's cool man all right so we're doing stranger things recap uh we're recording it tomorrow. Are we releasing it tomorrow?

Why not? Yeah. First half, right? First half. First half of the season. I'm the only one here who's done. Yep. I'm three episodes in.

I got one more for the first half. I watched it all last night, which means I didn't do Big Little Lies, which means no spoilers today. This will exist on our optimized content tier. Yes. Patreon.comcom circling back podcast we also have our friday listener voicemail episode as well as our regular bachelorette episode that drops tomorrow we got two we're getting two patreons off tomorrow no literally no one's doing you don't see that i don't think you can find another podcast that's doing two patreons in one day all i'm gonna want to do is just do an ad read, but we can't. You're going to want to do an ad read?

Yeah. You do love ad reads. I'm going to be... Vainy face kids. After Touching Base got canceled, I was on somebody else's podcast, and all I wanted to do was do an ad read. He's wanting to promote shit. Yeah.

I was like, dude, come on. Let me loose. Let me do it. Secondly, go check out our merch. Watchmedia.com slash shop. We got four t-shirts, two mugs. There might be some other stuff on the horizon. I got bad news.

We got to find an alternative sticker provider. Yeah. The stickers we got are dope, but they took like three months to get here. So I don't think we can justify we do this. They came from Latvia. Shouts to the Latvian listeners. Maybe we'll just make it exclusive to the Latvian listeners so they can get it faster.

They do naked bungee jumping and stickers. That's what they're known for. It's always Lat Day in Latvia. Just straight pull-ups all day. Guys walk around are just wide as fuck all day. Yeah. You guys walk around or just wide as fuck. Damn. Yeah. Looks great in a suit though.

Yeah. I hear that. I hear like there are a lot of tailors there just make a lot of extra cash just altering suits for all the lats. Saturdays for the lats. Saturdays are for the lats. You go up to dudes in the gym with just really impressive lats.

Like, dude, are you from Latvia by chance? Yeah, actually I am. Do you have any Latvian in you? Born and raised. Saturdays are for the lats. Yeah. Dude, I love having some pints for the lats. And finally, our friends over at Fulton & Rourke,

they're doing big things this summer. Are you familiar with Mahana, their summer cologne? I'm a little bit familiar, yeah. It's essentially a party wave as a cologne. If you were to just get wrecked by a Mondo wave that smelled really good, that's what it's like. It includes notes of pomelo, green leaves, and coriander. $16 gets you the solid cologne sample pack,

which it samples all eight of their solid colognes i think that's two dollars per sample you know like you can't get that anywhere else no you can try everything out plus it comes with a 16 coupon code toward your next purchase so basically if you buy anything after even if it's a bar of soap the sample packs are basically free they're just they're letting you just try it out. They want you to earn their business. Look, and don't sleep on the two-in-one body wash. The face wash, which I use every damn day too. The stuff's amazing.

Love it. I can confirm that after I got off my flight the other day, the first thing I did was pull out one of their face wipes, and I just dabbed on it. You got to dab. You dabbed on the face wipe. Yeah. Okay. For circ i dabbed on it you got you got a dab for certain on the face wipe yeah okay for circling back listeners it's even better than that because if you use that same coupon or views our coupon code steam s-t-e-a-m you can get a sample pack for just

12 which means your 12 would get you the sample pack and a 16 coupon use promo code steam for four dollars off the sample pack plus a 16 coupon big time it's loco out here hey did you guys watch the women's world cup yesterday i did man i did too they took home the dub like like we all expected yeah yeah they did um it's a good match i'm really happy that they followed up the penalty kick with a more legitimate goal in my eyes. Not that the penalty kick goal is not legitimate, but you hate to see it go down like that. You don't like to see that. Just for the game's sake, you wanted something else to happen,

just to really drive it home. And then after that, the floodgates were open. They had a million scoring chances. It seemed like they could have made it 5-0. They were definitely the better team the first half wasn't even close i mean neither team had trailed the entire world cup is that is that correct or i might be mixing that up with the stat during the usa mexico game last night i believe they didn't trail the entire

world cup i know you know about the netherlands netherlands didn't concede a goal for like ever um yeah their goalkeeper didn't concede a goal for like ever. Yeah, their goalkeeper. Didn't she win some kind of award? It hard to say. I saw her up there with Rapinoe. There's no way to look that up, so we don't know. I had to turn off the game right after because I was streaming from the car, which

is not ideal. Did you get car sick? No, no. It's just it was. I'll be honest. The Fox Sports app was leaving a little bit to be desired. You were also driving through the middle of fucking nowhere. Yeah, the service was not great, so I had to, like, refresh it a lot of times. Yeah.

Not great in, like, Ardmore. The first half was pretty dominant from the United States, but they just couldn't do anything with it. Yeah, I was very happy with that. I love a good 10 a.m. patriotic sports match gets the gets the juices going for the day

on a Sunday fun to wake up to it's kind of like when like Wimbledon's on watched a little bit of Wimbledon over the weekend it's kind of killing me right now our girl Coco's playing right now

dude that is such a story and I feel like it's getting overshadowed by the women's team. Just because, you know, it just happens to fall on the same weekend. She's playing right now. If she wins today. If she can win right now, it's going to be full cocoa.

She's been unbelievable. I'm all in. I was at the airport bar the other day, and people were just going crazy. They were playing a replay of her match, and people were still going crazy. They were playing a replay of her match, and people were still going crazy for it. It was awesome. I didn't realize she was already on the scene. I don't follow tennis.

Everyone knows that, but I was aware of her existence. Just from a couple years ago, I remember hearing, it might have been Real Sports or 60 Minutes, somebody was talking about this new phenom. To see when i turned it out turn it on and like uh i guess it was the last set i was like oh shit she carries herself like she's way older than 15 it's shocking your boy was not i was not doing 15 year old stuff like that i was letting farts with the bunsen burner then yeah i was a little shithead yeah

i was trying to like slow dance with chicks and like kickflip. I was trying to cop the new Easton. I was asking my dad for it. Dude, I don't want to spoil too much of our stranger things, like recap, but like how psyched were you when Mike just started wailing on his treehouse looking thing with his bat? It really got me hype. I stood up from my couch and I was like, you were just fist pumping. I was fist pumping. I was punching the air.

Champagne. It was tight, you were just fist pumping. I was fist pumping. I was punching the air. Champagne. It was tight. I didn't say champagne. He needs to work on his weight transfer, but. Not a power hitter. He's more of a, he's sprayed around the yard a little bit. Yeah. He puts the bat on the ball.

He'll go oppo for a single. Yeah. But he's not, yeah, he's not going deep. I think what overshadowed the entire Women's World Cup, and I'm not sure if we can even recover from this was the bleacher report tweet that they sent yeah yeah this is the real story here not not that they won i hadn't seen it until dylan sent a text i mean i was off i was offline for most of the day yesterday just because i was driving but like you you sent this text and i was

like i don't know what you're talking about i I went to Bleacher Report, and I couldn't find it anywhere. They deleted it. It was up for, I think, an hour or two. I've never seen so many people turn on one tweet. None of it makes sense. It makes such little sense that it's really just quite impressive, actually. So Bleacher Report tweeted out a picture to honor the women's national team. 15 of the women.

And it's portraits put together of just random people. Random people that represent America. Like you said, not every member of the team is even included in this particular picture. 15 members of the team, so at least 10 are left off. Yeah, a bunch of people are left off. I think they said yesterday that 21 of the U.S. women played in the Women's World Cup. So there's six of them who just got hung out to dry here.

But don't worry, the cast of Friends is on here. Also Iron Man. Iron Man. Also don't worry, a majority of the cast of Modern Family is on there, which is big. I think all the heavy hitters in Modern Family are on here, as well as Stranger Things. Hey, Dylan, how did it make you feel that Baker made this? Yeah. Also, Baker apparently now a noted hat guy.

Yeah. He also got married over the weekend. Who's the hat that he's wearing right now? Because they're getting free sponsorship here. I bet it's not the Roebuck hat. Oh, yeah, the white Roebuck hat. Which he has been known to wear. The cast of Friends is one of the weirdest parts of this,

just because these are photos of them from the early days of Friends. That's a young Joey Tribbiani. That's the only way I remember him. I choose to remember him. That'sey tribiani that's the that's the only way i remember him i choose to remember that's joey that's joey tribiani 25 years ago uh andy sandberg is also on here makes a lot of sense you know i mean brooklyn 99 does slap i can confirm when i think women's soccer i think i think andy sandberg okay i don't i don't think that

i don't think it's all there's no soccer tie-in with most of these people. No. They're just supposed to be people that represent America. What? You got Kendrick on here. And if you look at this, the most prominent celebrity on here is Zac Efron. It's like he's leading the pack outside of the Women's World Cup.

Well, you got Jay- uh jay-z and and uh b yeah but but like even jay-z has like one shoulder covered up whereas like zach effron he's just like out there just doing his thing i just nothing makes sense in this i don't know so kobe bryant and kobe bryant in a in a suit next to lebron in a Lakers jersey. Okay. You got to get Mamba in the suit. Okay. I'm pretty sure that's a picture of Brad Pitt from like the Inglourious Bastards premiere or something. And if you're going to do people who represent America, I mean, maybe Trump belongs in here. I don't know. I know he's not very well liked, but how about Obama?

People love him. He had a really good tweet supporting the women's national team yesterday. Of course he did. Who did? Obama? He always knows what to say. I mean, and Dylan,

you noted before this podcast that, you know, they do have the cast of friends and Matthew Perry is Canadian. Yeah. Chandler being not American. No one's going to talk about Will Ferrell. Just to fill. I don't know.

I mean, not anti Will Ferrell, but it's just a, Hey, let's choose the shittiest photo. Will Ferrell. We can find as well. Yeah. it's just... Hey, let's choose the shittiest photo of Will Ferrell we can find as well. Yeah.

You know what they really should have done? Is that Pulisic? They have Maverick from Top Gun on here, which is kind of funny. Let's tie it. Every time you look at it, there's just someone new that you see. I just noticed, is this Pulisic?

Yes. Yes, it is. How big is he? Not very. He looks like he's a 5'7". Did you watch any of the game last night? I watched the whole game. I watched their game with my brother-in-law

Wednesday or Thursday when they won. He's fucking good. He's awesome. He's awesome. Pulisic. Who's that? He's the great American hope in soccer. He's no Freddy Adu.

No, he just got transferred to chelsea for 70 million pounds i think not dollars he's a badass he's very his ball control this is me talking out of my ass no but there was a moment last night even though they lost to mexico which god that's infuriating he he like went through like five defenders and his ball control with how fast he's going is insane to me a lay person just watching him i'm like oh he's different than all these other guys yes yes uh he is going he's got an unfortunate situation in front of him at chelsea uh they're banned from getting any new player transferring any new players so they kind of

have an uphill battle this season but now that he's in the english league he's going i think he's just going to get even bigger as far as exposure goes because more people watch it than they watch the german league he was playing for dortmund so your rival dave maybe you should be a chelsea guy now i'm gonna have to pick a team at some point like it's gonna happen uh it's so weird but dude bleacher report does this with so many other things i follow bleep it's called bleacher report football but it's meaning it's not it's it's not american football it's the other one and they always whenever something big happens they do a graphic much like this one and they put other sports in there and everyone's like dude stop with the crossover like we're not following this for that,

that reason. I feel like they do it just to get people talking about it. Imagine being on this team. Dude, how's tiger not on here? Imagine being on this team. You win the world cup and you put in minutes like, you know,

you're, you know, everything's going for you. And then you look at this picture and you're not on it, but don't worry. Ross Geller is like, what is going on, dude? Who who the who's

the guy in between jay-z and kendrick the white dude uh he's an actor i think who is that guy i think he's an actor i don't know his name hold on between jay-z and kendrick yeah yeah i haven't i saw that too that's i have no clue dude that's no that's like uh that's an account rep that's a dude who's doing inside sales that's's the dude who did the Photoshop. He was like, wait, I'm going to put myself in there. Let's see if anybody notices. Dude, yeah. Okay, who are some notable? Let's assume that this is a good tweet.

Who are some notable, other than the rest of the women's team? Tiger Woods is a really good one. And the coach of the team. So, Tiger. Notable omissions, you're saying? Yeah. I think Obama should be on here, maybe. Your girl, AOC, I mean, you were talking about that before the podcast.

No. Why don't they just do, why didn't they just do like historical women's players? Just do that like back. That seems like a no-brainer to me. I feel like Mia Hamm deserves to be on here. Yeah, give me some Chastain. They went heavy on hip-hop, but not many other musical genres are represented here. Taylor Swift is represented. Carrie Underwood's on here. Yeah, give me some Chastain. They went heavy on hip-hop, but not many other musical genres are represented here.

Taylor Swift is represented. Carrie Underwood's on here. What? She hasn't... Carrie Underwood, I feel like, hasn't done anything in like three years. Those are the only non-hip-hop, I guess. If you're Venus Williams,

how pissed are you that you didn't get included, but Serena did? She's, you know, she's probably come to terms with that. Your boy Clint Dempsey got included. That's big. See Landon Donovan? They did no favors to his hair.

He's got a tough hairline. Wonder Woman. I'm a big Brie Larson guy. I'm okay with her being included. I don't know. It's funny. I don't know. Leach Report, you guys crushed this.

Good job. They do this all the time. I feel like they do it on Twitter more than anything just because they can get away with it and they know that they'll get quote tweeted. Somebody spent a lot of time on this. Or they just had a bunch of old Adobe Illustrator files that they were like, all right, hold on, just pile them all in.

Let's just get them all in. Had this been me, it would have taken me three weeks. Hey. I think I'd do the whole cast of Modern Family and not have Al Bundy. What's his name? Ed. What's his name?

Ed O'Neill? Yeah. You can say Al Bundy. Dude, he might be my favorite character on that show. Leave him out. He might be my favorite character. Everyone else is on there. And we even got Max from Stranger Things.

Like, okay, Max is fine, but like... Recent character. I didn't love Max last season. She's kind of grown on me. She's better this season. Yeah, she's kind of grown on me. She's actually... She's got some pipes.

So there are only two from that cast on here. Right? Yeah. Max and Justin? Is that his name? You know what? Let me say this. Let me say this.

Tom Hanks should be on here. Also Denzel. Who's the dude directly behind Ariel Winter? That's one I can't figure out. I have no idea. Whose man is that? Did he start Bleacher Report?

He's surrounded by the cast of Modern Family, but I'm pretty sure he's not on Modern Family. Are you talking which guy? The glasses guy? I've watched every episode of Modern Family. I can confirm he's not on Modern Family. Are you talking which guy? The glasses guy? I've watched every episode of Modern Family.

I can confirm he is not on Modern Family. This guy, Dave. That's Luke Wilson. No, it's not. Yeah, I don't know who that is. Somebody had a funny tweet on Golf Twitter saying that how pissed off is Brooks going to be that Brooks is not on here.

Brooks Koepka. Like he's going to use that as motivation. So stupid. Oh, I don't know. It's so bad. It's just so like, I don't want to say it's tone deaf because I don't think it's tone deaf,

but it's just like, what? It's not tone. I don't think it's tone deaf. Although you could argue because they didn't include all the women. But it's just like, it's the most unnecessary thing. Like, you know, the tweets where it's like, no one, absolutely no one. And then it's just like, it's the most unnecessary thing. Like, you know, the tweets where it's like no one, absolutely no one.

And then it's like this. And I'm sure someone's done that and it's done well because like, this is the perfect time for that tweet because nobody needed this. Here's what happened. Here's, here's what happened yesterday. Whoever is the head social guy for Bleacher Report was like, like he got really fucked up the night before in the hamptons and he was like still sleeping on vacation and some intern was like i don't know should we let this rip like i think

it looks pretty dope okay he's trying to make a name for himself they did this to get people talking hey well they it worked how much money for you to get this tattooed on your back on your upper back oh it's it's let's see dylan if the if the women win the 2023 world cup will you get this tattooed on your back 250 grand if the men how about make it the men so yeah if the men win the world cup will you get this tattooed on your back that's a safe bet no i think you're good okay you have to get okay you have to get one person from this their image as portrayed on this tattooed on your back who's it gonna be for me it's the young joey tribiani just because he looks so ridiculous in this photo i'm gonna say for me it's maverick but part of me that's a dope picture part of me kind of wants

alex morgan on my back yeah i mean you can't go wrong with alex morgan where does she stand as far as like skill level on the team uh she's her greatest skill is her speed okay and that's i mean that's not a knock on her like she uses her speed to her advantage like she probably should have gotten that penalty in the first half yesterday and she's not getting in that position without being fast and tall and long let me ask you this now for like a bet payoff who would be the worst person on this to have tattooed on your back i think the dude that we don't know the dude with the big nose behind ariel winter i because i just have no clue who he is i'm i feel like someone's going to call me out and be like oh will he's like some no i think it's ross geller just because he's the most insufferable character okay for me for me it's the unknown white guy between jay-z and

kendrick lamar no clue who he is he just looks like a dude from sales which is tight i respect it but i feel like there's got to be one guy like one person on this entire thing who has had like a bad take regarding the u.s women's team like there's got to be one guy, like one person on this entire thing who has had like a bad take regarding the U S women's team. Like there's got to be one person on here who has accidentally made a statement about how like he doesn't think they should be paid equally or something like that. That would be funny.

So am I, am I right in thinking that each of them pocketed 250 grand yesterday? Uh, I believe so. Wait, say it. Say it again for winning. thinking that each of them pocketed 250 grand yesterday? I believe so. Wait, say it again. For winning, they get 250 each. They each get 250? Yeah.

That's a shitload of money. The prize money for the Women's World Cup is $30 million in total. The purse. So that goes to the Women's National. I don't know who it gets dispersed to. First place, second place, third place. I don't know how that goes. the women's national team. I don't know who it gets dispersed to. First place, second place, third place. I don't know how that goes. Oh, okay. What I did read was that that's 7.5% of what the men's World Cup purse is.

It's that much? Yeah. It's in the billions for the men's. Holy shit. I believe. That's crazy. I think it's in the trillions for the men's. Just trillions of dollars.

Are you serious? No. No, I have no fucking clue. A tr No, I have no clue how much it is. So how much is my favorite Spice Seltzer? If the men's national team won the World Cup, how much would they each get? I think it's two mil. I think it's either one or two mil. I heard this this morning.

I heard a lively discussion about the equal pay argument stuff. By comparison, the 2018 World Cup, the men's World Cup, had a total purse of $400 million. France took home a $38 million check for winning the 2018 World Cup, which is more than the entire women's World Cup purse. I don't know.

I was told this weekend that only six programs in the world, women's soccer programs, are funded. Yeah. So the clubs in Europe, they all have a women's team. Maybe not all of them, but many of them have a women's team. Like Arsenal, there's a women's team. A bunch of the chicks on the Netherlands play for Arsenal, right?

Yeah. So that's obviously something we don't have here. No, we do. We do. I think a lot of women are employed in the United States to play for club teams. Okay. Does someone subsidize the league? Like an organization?

I know nothing about it. Okay. I know nothing about it. Because I know the big... Everybody's like, yeah, obviously the women are badass. I know nothing about it. Cause I know the big, everybody's like, yeah, obviously the women are bad-ass. They,

we want them to be paid more, right? It's the sponsorships. It's the sponsor. They have where they make, they make more, they're more successful. Um,

they bring, have put, you know, the eyeballs on the TV when they're in the world cup, but it comes down to the sponsorships. Aren't as plentiful as they are for the men in the world cup but it comes down to the sponsorships aren't as plentiful as they are for the men in the world cup probably not that's definitely yeah absolutely so that's kind of the big the crux of the argument if you will sure i think because it sounds great to say everybody should be paid the same especially the women because they're like

the most dominant soccer team in the world, arguably. Right. Yeah. Maybe you can't even argue that. I don't know. I don't follow soccer enough. But like, that's the issue. Yeah.

People are making parallels to the WNBA, which I don't think is that fair. I don't think it's fair. Because I think much more people are into the women's soccer team. Who won the WNBA finals last year, Dylan? No one knows. No one I know knows the answer to that question. Who won the WNBA finals last year, Dylan? No one knows. No one I know knows the answer to that question. Micah. I also think it feels different

when it comes to a team that represents your nation. And in that sense, it's like, yeah, well, everyone's representing the nation equally. Like, pay them the same. Just do it. I would understand from the standpoint of like, okay, if people are saying the Arsenal women should make the same amount as the Arsenal men,

it's like, well, okay, that's a business. Club teams are businesses. They have money that they bring in and that directly contributes to how they can pay their players. That's just how it works. I don't think that there's not even an argument there. When it comes to representing your country, it's like pony up.

Pony up. Happens like once every four years. Figure it out. Take your head out. Take your head out of your country. It's like, pony up. Pony up. Happens like once every four years. Figure it out. Take your head out. Take your head out of your ass. It was fun watching yesterday, though.

It was fun. Never had a doubt, really. I don't know why. Would you have scored that penalty kick? Yes. I definitely had doubt.

I was like, dude, this would be, I don't know. There's just been so much emotion and stuff and controversy leading up to this gold medal match or whatever that I could see them just losing steam. And then, dude, the other teams, this isn't the dream team. Like, they're not going to blow everybody out.

They've had many close matches, right? Yeah. So I think it's realistic that the rest of the world is catching up to our women's soccer team. So enjoy it while you can because it's going to get more competitive. I wanted a... No, that's not what I meant to say.

I just had a brain fart. Well, I didn't help with my rant. I'm talking down to people as if I know anything about soccer, so I should probably just fuck right off. Penalty kicks are too easy. They just are. What percentage of penalty kicks are made? I don't know.

They're just too easy. Penalty inside the box. It doesn't seem like that flagrant of a violation to warrant a free goal. Rapinoe's wasn't a well-taken kick. That's not the ideal place to put your shot.

If you can fake the goalie one way, it was fun. Ball went in, that doesn't matter. Dude, she put her in the freeze frame. She got frozen. She froze her ass. That's embarrassing. People need to make a bigger deal about goalies getting frozen like that like you froze me you froze me i froze your ass yeah you froze me once i think i don't care how late the dive is even if the ball's past you whichever side you committed to you have to just dive out no you can't do the late dive because

it's always gonna look slow and bad because the worst is like when you freeze and then fall back and you put like have to hold yourself up with your arm it's like neo shit in the matrix it's like man you just got froze you can't do that and mr freeze in this bitch damn dave yeah how about piers morgan what did he have to say what did he do is he getting done now he he was just such a little bitch i don't know i wanted wanted Alex to score a goal. I did too. And at the end, if you're at the end of that game

and you're up 2-0 and you're in like the 85th minute and you pretty much have it like locked in, if I get the ball, I'm taking a shot no matter what. There's no way I'm passing. I'm getting that World Cup final goal or no one's getting it.

When you're that deep in the game, it's not a team game anymore. I'm trying to get that individual glory. You're not a team first guy. No, I got to get that goal. Did Baker Mayfield care when he found out that he was included in this Bleacher Report portrait? Like when somebody told him, he's just like, oh, cool.

How are you going to include Baker Mayfield but leave Tom Brady off? Tom Brady, Dak Prescott.aron rogers zeke elliott warry cooper these are all americans travis frederick uh sean lee david smith just listing members of the dallas cowboys yeah oh man laden vanderesh what i was with some oklahoma city thunder fans this weekend. Waking up. To Paul George leaving? Yeah, waking up Saturday morning. It was quiet.

PG-13? It was quiet. That was a wild wake up. I went to bed late that night, but I think I had gone to bed right before it happened. What time did that news break? Like 2 a.m. It was so late.

It was real late. I woke up the next morning, and i was planning on going back to sleep and i couldn't go back to sleep i was twitter was too good i fucking i loved it i don't yeah i i feel bad for oklahoma city not the not the franchise but the people the fans because they are really good fans they never they're just i'm not trying to midwesterners you know i'm not i'm not trying to to twist the knife but like i mean they never got it done when they had remind need i remind you kevin durant james harden russell westbrook serge abaca who was their coach then it wasn't donovan was, was it? No, it was Scott Brooks. Didn't Billy Donovan... He's been the last two or three years.

But he coaches for them now. Yeah, he came from Florida. Yeah. With his weird-ass hairline. I feel like it's longer than two or three years. Three or... Dude, they got rid of Brooks. I don't know.

I feel like it's been three or four. It hasn't been that long. I could be wrong about that, but... Have you ever been more excited for a 30 for 30 than this which one the kawaii stuff no the inevitable oklahoma city thunder one oh god we were talking about that uh i don't know it's it's so brutal i just feel bad yesterday was pa Paul George Day. That was funny. Unfortunate. It's tough.

By mayoral decree. He got traded a year, exactly a year after he signed his extension or whatever. And then they named it Paul George Day in Oklahoma City. It stinks when these smaller market teams do well in drafts and build these young teams and then they develop superstars because they're not going to want to stick around too quickly. You mean develop three superstars? Three superstars. Three MVPs.

It just sucks because Kevin Durant's not going to stay in Oklahoma City. You know, I mean, he wants to go to a big market and play with, you know, super teams. Big ballers? It just sucks, man. I know the salary cap's in place to kind of regulate that, but it's not working. It's a player's league, man.

It's not working. I'm going to have some late nights next season in the NBA on the West Coast. Yeah. Dude, this is the best-case scenario. If he was going to leave Toronto, like for just a casual fan, unless you're one to get into a super team like they would have been with Anthony Davis, LeBron, and Kawhi.

Like, this is great. You have so many duos now in the West mainly, at least for this season, until KD gets back in the East. It's going to be absurd. Like the M the mavs they've got luca and kp and i don't even think they're gonna make the playoffs they're gonna flirt with like a seven or eight seed what about when russ gets traded there to dallas there nothing would you wouldn't see me for a few days i would be so infuriated i was talking about brother-in-law who's a uh big houston fan

he's like i think we finished like fifth in the west next year which is crazy uh i don't think it's weird to say that they'll be lucky to finish fifth yeah chris paul is old what and they don't they hate each other that's uh that's the talk yeah well everybody hates chris paul there's you can't find that many people outside of LeBron and Carmel that really like Chris Paul. The Clippers are favorites now to win the title. Are they? Yes.

What? Okay. They went from 35-1 to favorites. Who do they have besides Kawhi and Paul George? They're stacked. Even then, I'm like... Kawhi, Paul George, Pat Beverly, Lou Williams. They're sick.

Like, they've got... I saw them compared to the somebody did a it might have been Bleacher Report compare them to the Dream Team just their roster.

And I was like, damn, that's actually not that that far off. Not the Dream Team, the old Bulls teams. I'll take the Luke Longley Bulls. I'll take Pat Beverly

on my team any day. Hell yeah. That dude's a little bull, man. Did you see what he said about wanting all the smoke? No. He was getting

interviewed on ESPN and he was like, I want all the smoke. That's what you want your teammate to say. Fuck it. Yeah, I really wanted him in Dallas.

That's kind of my big free agency disappointment. He's a dude, I mean, he's the classic, I hated him when he was on Houston.

I hated him last season because he's just a pest, but he's so, he's just a fucking, like Dylan said, he's a dude I mean he's the classic I hated him when he was on Houston I hated him Last season Cause he's just a pest But he's so He's just a fucking Like Dylan said He's a dog man People are saying The Pistons are gonna go somewhere

With uh Derrick Rose Yeah He's a game changer Yeah It's official today So that's big Wow

Yeah Very happy about that Big news up in Detroit man My Rose jersey's in the mail He just went off one game for like 58 points last season. Yeah, he'll have like... What the hell was that?

It was tight. What were you? It was emotional as fuck. It was. Good for him. Yeah. Did y'all see that dude get kneed in the head this weekend?

No, Paul. Dude, wait. We gotta wait. We have Combat Sports Minute coming up. Oh. Yeah. And we're not there yet. Yeah.

Everyone knows that before we do anything... But to answer your question, yes, I did. Before we do anything, we need to talk about our friends over at me undies summer comes with a number of awesome perks i think we exploited most of them this past weekend vacations beach days barbecues but the one perk that outshines them all is summer themed undies courtesy if you guessed it me undies me undies me undies is the only brand brand that lets you eat pineapple while wearing pineapple undies think about that dylan you have photos of you doing that this weekend at the ranch yeah also in the matching me undies pineapple socks big i have some of those yeah

yeah sally was actually wearing them the other day i mean just from a comfort standpoint me undies scientists spent countless hours in their underwear labs testing out the softest fabrics in all the land. And the result? That classic micromodal fabric we've talked about so many times before. It's three times softer than boring old cotton. They sent me a onesie, by the way. I got a onesie. I got a onesie.

I got a onesie. Oh, man. I almost posted your photo that you sent of yourself in the onesie, but that's against code. You can't do that. I had to sign off that you sent of yourself in the onesie, but that's against code. You can't do that. Yeah. I had to sign off on that kind of exposure right now. They've got summer themed prints dropping every single Tuesday.

They also make the softest loungewear pants in the world. And those onesies we just talked about. And finally, you can now match with your pop with buddy bands available in the same prints and colors as our undies. Randy can get some me onies off if he wants to. We were talking about this the other day. I'm very excited about that.

Yeah. He's got to get in there because I got the onesie now. I got to get him in the matching one. We ought to just do a podcast all wearing them. We should. Our studio is pretty hot. That's a great point. Right now, they've got a great offer for our listeners.

get it not bad we just had a we had a podcast it's a classic mix up it's okay oh yeah we sure do it's okay

it's Monday it's a Monday after 4th of July if we thought we were going to get through here scot-free we were mistaken that's on me it's okay let's do

let's do combat sports minute right now. Dylan and I are touching feet over here. No, we're not touching feet. Dave's touching feet. Your foot was a part of it. He put his foot right just squarely on top of my foot.

It was a consenting touch. And just so you all know, the situation here, we are shoeless, so he got a little uncomfortable. Well, you know what? Call you Joe Jackson. You shouldn't be scared of these MeUndies socks I'm wearing. That's called added value, Dylan. I'm not scared of them, David.

So, Dylan, you saw this guy get kneed in the fucking head. I saw the fight end in about five seconds. Five seconds, indeed. Cuban Jesus, Jorge Masvidal. Okay, if you looked at his demeanor right before, is it a bell that starts? How do they go? They do it on the ref. Okay. His demeanor right before the fight started bell that starts how do they how do they go they do on the ref

okay his demeanor right before right before the fight started let's just say that uh it was over okay he was like yeah he looked on his face like watch this and he just stormed out of there well you go dave you're the okay can i ask you a question? Please. This is the Combat Sports Minute. Did he do this just because he was like... Did he know that this guy was vulnerable to it? So he was fighting Ben Askren. Ben Askren is a world-class wrestler. Like, maybe the best in the world. He fought in Bellator for a long time, never lost.

Came to the UFC. His first fight, he won on a bulldog joke one of the better named chokes uh but it was controversial because the cuban jesus won on the bull no no no this is ben askren oh okay the white guy the white guy with the dad boy i was watching it okay i was watching it with uh the caucasian zombie yeah he's he looks he does not look like a ufc fighter he's just a wrestler he's not a striker UFC fighter. He's just a wrestler. He's not a striker. You know, he'll stand up there and throw punches,

but his whole goal is to pick you up, get you on the ground, and wear you out like that. So the thinking for Cuban Jesus, Jorge Masvidal, who, by the way, in his last fight, starched Darren Till, who's an up-and-coming guy in England. Up-and-coming guy? Up-and-coming. He went to England, this guy's home fucking town,

and knocked him the fuck out first round. You can't knock a dude out in his hometown. Yeah, that's... And then he comes in, he does this. It's unfair, too, because, like, in your hometown, you're 17, and, like, that just, it seems like your skill level would change when you go back in time. That's fair.

So he sees, I think his thinking was, if I run at him, he's going to, his inclination is going to be to duck his head and try to pick me up. And that's exactly what happened. So they watch video. They probably watched like, they had somebody watch like 50 of this guy's fights just to see what his

tendencies were. Like, does he, which way does he move his head when, when someone charges him? So yeah, this wasn't, I don't think this is a spur-of-the-moment thing.

I might have missed that. It was like a double knee. This is how I'm fighting from now on. If we get in a bar fight with somebody, I'm just sprinting at them and just throwing a knee at them. You definitely should. Is that like a taught technique to do that? People throw a knee.

I mean, do you see like Muay Thai knees and stuff in the clinch? And some people will throw it. John Jones, who fought later on the card, the greatest of all time, the light heavyweight champ. He has thrown knees like that before. He did it against, I think Shogun, one of his early fights, but. I've never seen a move like this. He just went, no one is flying across the ring there.

It's very rare that somebody starts a fight out like that. Just runs it again. Cause it's dangerous. You put, you're put in a vulnerable position cause you're going airborne. Yeah. I replayed it a few times. I didn't really see much of a connection but dude just dropped it was hard to see that it was hard to see it got him on the uh i think the lower right part of his jaw that's where you knock somebody out and it might have gotten some of his neck too

why is why is the jaw the part that knocks people out i don't understand i don't either i've heard that you have more nerve endings on your chin okay and it's anything that like twists the brain stem so you have the brain stem back here and when your body gets rocked and like it feels any kind of stuff like it turns itself off to protect itself so that's why you see him go limp like somebody gets knocked like flatline they go limp immediately and then the part happened that i hate to see. Yeah, you get someone knocked out on the mat, totally defenseless, and then he just pounds on his face two more times

before the ref pulls him off. Let's pull up. That's a great segue into this Cuban Jesus press conference. This is after the fight. By the way, these two guys hate each other. Ben Askren, he's a troll. That's kind of his thing he talks a lot of shit not like connor style but just more like annoying like he's a little bit

more wholesome and kind of cheesy but he usually backs it up i mean the guy's world class this dude you'll hear it this dude's cold cuban jesus is cold-blooded. You know? I saw some criticism. People say the punches weren't really necessary. They were super necessary. Why were they necessary? What do you mean, why were they not necessary? Because he was already knocked out at that point. But the referee hadn't pulled me off. And my job is to hit somebody until the referee pulls me off.

So to those people, I would say maybe don't watch him and maybe go back to soccer. Yeah, well. I saw some other criticism perhaps of your celebration afterwards. Any regrets at the celebration or your behavior in the cage afterwards? Man, there's not too many people that I've disliked. I have over 50 pro fights, and he's one of them. He talked about my manhood, talked about my culture, my ethnicity. Where do we draw?

Why do certain people get to do stuff online? So you can do anything. Everything is cool before a fight. You're allowed to do and say whatever you want. Like other fighters are not doing. Talking about people's religions, wife, even kids. That's cool. But after a fight, I'm not allowed to showboat and rub it in your face

so you and guys like you could see it and be like, maybe I don't talk so much shit because when I cross one of these real motherfuckers, they're going to make me pay for it, man. They're going to embarrass the shit out of me. And it's not over for Ben either. He still has to deal with me. If I see him at Whole Foods, I'm going to slap that dude up because I don't like him. Why are these two at Whole Foods together?

I don't know, man. You at the hot bar just scooping up some teriyaki chicken? Ben Askren tweeted, well, that sucked. Yeah, not great. After he gained consciousness. Everything he just said, besides the go back after he gained consciousness everything he just said besides the go back to soccer part everything he said i totally agree with yeah there's nothing that he said that's incorrect like talk shit get hit and then like dude you get to celebrate

whoever asked that question i can't stand when people it's some journalists are like well you know people are saying it's like oh you mean some people on twitter or outrage like like you're saying if you're yeah you're saying just admit it be like hey i mean some people on twitter or outrage like like you're saying if you're yeah you're saying just admit it be like hey i don't think it was you know i thought you showboated a little bit like dude that's a worse question than what i asked alex of the chain smokers what didn't you walk up to him like hey man a lot of people are saying that you guys might not have longevity you have to be wired differently to to punch someone in the face when they're knocked out on a mat dude i, I get it, though.

Like, I mean, what if the guy gets up, and then all of a sudden, like, I mean, he's not getting up. That guy's not getting up. But you have to do it. He doesn't have the benefit of, like, watching and seeing that the guy went limp. All he knows is he threw a knee and then fell. And then he himself fell because he just threw a knee. And then, you know, he doesn't know that the guy's out.

Yeah, he probably noticed it after the first one. He's clearly on the just threw a knee. And then, you know, he doesn't know that the guy's out. He probably noticed it after the first one. He's clearly on the offensive from the start. And so when you do a flying kick and you're on the mat, you've got to get up and keep being offensive. And it's not like luckily he didn't get on top of him and just pummel him. They weren't like haymakers he landed on his lifeless body. I don't know, man.

But that's so... The idea of these two guys getting into it at Whole Foods, that just makes me very happy. I don't know, man. But that's so... The idea of these two guys getting into it at Whole Foods, that just makes me very happy. I love it. It's like you're in the soap section and then all of a sudden you just get fucking clocked. You're looking for some grain-free chips. Yeah, you're like,

which flavor of Siete Tortillas should we get? Dude, next thing you know you're getting slapped. Dude, you get slapped up at Whole Foods. You gotta, oh, that sucks. You gotta start going to Central Market

or something. What if you're at a Whole Foods and you see two guys just start slap boxing? It's just like two world-class fighters. Come on, guys. We're at Whole Foods right now.

Who at Whole Foods is breaking that up? Who can break that up? You think there's a lot of employees at Whole Foods? Like, all right, God,

come on. All right, Cuba Jesus. Yeah, like some dude with dreadlocks and a Whole Foods schmock on comes up and just breaks up the fight. A bunch of moms in yoga pants like, all right, guys, come on. Yeah, come on now. There are kids here.

Yeah, man, please. I wonder if there's a backstory. I wonder if they live in the same hometown and they have ran into each other. Whole Foods. They're like fighting over parking spots all the time. Those bags are reusable. Yeah, this motherfucker doesn't even bring a reusable bag. Hey, since we're talking about it,

what happened with Bones Jones over the weekend? He won, but he hurt himself or something? His legs jacked up? So he fought, and no, he's fine. He just got leg kicked. He got calf kicked a number of times, and by the time the fight's over and the adrenaline starts to wear off, you can't put weight on your calf.

That's kind of an underrated part of MMA. You see these little kicks to the calf, and you're like, okay, what's that doing? Well, two or three of those, it's just like getting dead legged. It can wear on you, especially in a five round match. Now the other guy, uh, like when you're hung over and you,

your, your calf cramps up, dude, that, that was the fucking worst. It's exactly like that. I had, I,

it happened to me the other day. And the first thing I thought of was you. It's almost like it doesn't, I don't know if it hurts as bad as it is. It's just like, it's a weird feeling and you're worried that like you might've done something very, very bad.

It's absolutely crippling. Yeah. There's nothing you can do no uh yeah the other dude probably tours acl early on in the fight throwing a kick he threw a kick and you know you throw a kick you pivot his pivot leg didn't uh i don't know if it didn't twist or whatever it twisted at the wrong spot and like yeah so his lateral movement you could see his knee kind of going in and out the rest of the fight. John Jones, his legs are so skinny, man. Yeah. I don't know how he takes any kick or delivers one himself.

It's wild. Yeah. He's got Bill Bowling legs almost. Yo, he's got Dylan legs. Oh. Oh. He's got little calves. I mean, he's a strong dude his brother's a nfl athlete chandler jones i know i know he is uh i'm thinking about becoming an mma fighter i got

i got like heavy ass legs you definitely should i think it takes more than just that people a lot of people saw the photo i posted my shirtless photo from this weekend a lot of people saw that and we're like fuck a lot of people start their mma career at 32 built on mma was it start training dog see what happens this fucking core are you serious dude we've got so many gyms in austin you could definitely go get some amateur fights i'm thinking about it you could fight the guy who fought market micah dude micah was micah was a sneaky hammered out at dinner the other night like sneaky hammered just out of nowhere i looked over and i was like oh he's gone and he was just telling people that we had just met about his fight overselling it so hard like he it made he made it sound like it was like a full like

ufc sanctioned fight and that he beat the living shit out of the guy and i was like okay we need to we need to scale back a little bit like that's not what happened and that now it concerns me that that's what he tells other people like when he's at a wedding he was like oh yeah i was in a fight one time you know what though let him have it yeah it's not hurting anybody he fucking he trained his ass off i mean he sure did he's good he's good in my book it was quite the uh spectacle he did land a couple couple jabs in there. It killed me yesterday. I didn't look at my phone for a while after the women's game

just because I got in the driver's seat. I made Sally drive during the game. And I didn't look at my phone. And then like four hours later, I pick up my phone and I see that Micah asked if I wanted to go to the pool and drink some White Claws. And I was like, fuck. He's like, no, dude, I just crossed the border in Texas.

He just wanted to hop on some claws. That's interesting. It's interesting that Micah's in on the claw. Micah's in. He's in in general. Good. It was weekend at Micah. Well, I'm interested to hear.

I think we're going to talk a little bit about uh claw flavors because i'm a variety pack guy and i've been chastised twice now not naming names but might be my wife because they don't include the mango yeah and apparently the mango is a hot flavor it's good i've tried here i've only had black cherry which is really good but i like the black have you guys seen the Tallboys they're doing now? No. Last night I was getting a sandwich, and they had just Tallboys in the grocery store.

Black cherry and mango flavored. So how many ounces? I don't know. 20 maybe? 24? Yeah. Okay. I mean, legit. probably just 16 right standard

one is 12 so this is off brand you need those extra four all we had was truly is the other day how are they uh much more flavorful and that's not a good thing too sweet like too sweet and artificial tasting whereas like i like the i like white claw because they have a hint of the flavor as opposed to yeah the trulies were just a lot but so we we started pouring them and we we made a suicide one well no one's doing that and we put some fruit in there it was good it was good we doctor fruit inside of that yeah we doctored our trulies sally made a cake for the fourth of july with like blueberries and strawberries on it. And so we had some extras. So we started making, you know, some, some sangria cocktails. How did you live through that? It was hard. It wasn't a bit this weekend. I drank a shit ton of White Claws. It was pretty much all I drank except for like wine at dinner. I, I, I hit my new personal record.

I had a new PR. I think I, I, if you would have, I, part of me thought me thought like okay we should start the White Claw challenge where we just like pour like each flavor of White Claw into a glass and you just drink it. I just want to drink all of them at once. I didn't have a single Claw over the weekend. I know. I was out at the ranch. I told you all that. What? I know man. Wait.

Should we stop recording? Dude. I just want to have you on Margs. Should we just mute Dylan for the rest of the time? Yeah. Yeah, what are you doing? I'm sorry. Look, I dropped the ball. It won't happen again. Do they not have gas stations out there and wherever? The closest one is 24 miles away.

Okay. I did pass him on the way through. Do they have that Drizzly app out there where you can just order it to the crib? Drizzly app? Yeah. You can order order it to the crib? Drizzly app? Yeah. You can order booze. Oh, I didn't know that. I'm going to bleep out the name of that app.

No. I thought that was a different thing. They don't deliver out in the middle of the whole country. They called me Drizzly back in the day. Okay, can we rank the flavors? I'm going to sit this one out. All I've had is Black Cherry, which is amazing. So what's your favorite?

I'll go for me. Let's go from the bottom. Bottom up. Obviously lime. Lime is the worst. And here's, do you dislike lime though? It's not that I dislike it.

It's just that, okay, here's my thing. And this is weird. If I want to enjoy alcohol with a lime flavor, there's other ways I'm going to do it that aren't through a spiked seltzer i'm going to do it through either a something with like an actual squeeze of lime like a margarita or ranch

water or an l dave see but do you think that so lime is the worst flavor hands down and that's not to say that it's bad that being said i'd rather have the lime white claw than no white claw at all sure and i did say that this weekend i didn't try it and i wish i would have i think if you squeezed a lime into the lime white claw it would taste amazing i think it just it's too artificial tasting i think it doesn't taste like actual lime that you squeeze into something and lime's too easy of a flavor to go out and actually make when it comes to mango like i'm not buying mangoes and making drinks with mangoes.

No. So lime is like, I feel like we all have a higher standard for our palate of lime. Okay, next flavor for me. Raspberry? Dude, I kind of like raspberry. Yeah, I think I do too.

I can't, you know what? For me, there's not enough of a difference between that and dark cherry. Black cherry? Black Cherry. Black Cherry? Black Cherry. Buck Cherry. Right? It's the crazy bitch of Spike Shelter.

No. Yeah. Why? Why? It's the only song of theirs I know. Right? What? Buck Cherry?

Their only song. Yeah, I don't think there's that many that you need to know they had a couple other ones anyway um yeah no i'm gonna put raspberry there but look i'm not an expert here i'm willing i can i'm open to other arguments my number one is black cherry my number two i think is actually no my number two is actually, no, my number two is mango. And I think my number three is actually raspberry. I really enjoyed the raspberry. Number four for me is the ruby red grapefruit. I've not had it.

It's fine. It's a very faint grapefruit flavor. And I like grapefruit. It's fine. It's nothing to call home about. It's, I don't know. But then, yeah, last place is definitely our lime. You know, I can think of one that's worse than lime.

It's the blood flavor. I'm just not a big fan of the one that tastes like human blood. I think that they swung and missed on that one. What flavor are you talking about? What is happening right now? Oh, is that not a real flavor? I must be looking at a website that's okay never mind what where are we with the white with white claws stock do we think it peaked this past weekend can it go up any further the uh the

diversity in accounts that are tweeting about it and doing bits with it. It's, uh, it's beyond anything I've ever seen. It's a, it has like a almost cult light falling at this point. I'm concerned that it's going to get like just too mainstream that people are going to be people to be like, I can't do claws anymore. Okay. So I,

I just pulled up a chart. So as, as you guys may have known from, from will to freeze from at will to freeze on Twitter, I was doing a lot of White Claw content this weekend. Pretty much exclusively White Claw. I'm going to show you guys the chart of where my interaction went on Twitter this weekend.

Okay? Okay. This is over the last year. So this is a year's worth of content, and you can see where my interactions went to this past weekend. You found the algorithm that's the claw factor i'm skyrocketing yeah you did it i'm at it i'm at a 12 month high and it's almost double of my previous high so my interactions are just through the roof

if you go to washed media at washed media on instagram one of our uh most liked instagrams is a is a claw meme so there's got to be something to it claws all right now i'm not ready for it to go away we should make a claw shirt we should just do claw merch until they tell don't know how much i mean like they're both they're both beer based very low in carb carbs right yeah neither have sugar as two two carbs two grams or whatever i don't fucking know when you on here. I don't really care unless, all I care about is sugar. I will say that. Calories and carbs,

like I'm not really worried about. It's just the sugar. And they don't have sugar. I had a grand total of zero hangovers this past weekend. That's pretty good. Yeah, that's ideal. I did, but it was because I was drinking cognac in port at my uncle's place. No one's drinking cognac in port. I fucking love cognac in port at my uncle's place.

No one's drinking cognac in port. I fucking love cognac now. I don't like port. I've tried to. I just can't. It's too much. Really? Yeah, I don't know.

There's something about it. I wish I could because like Fraser likes it and stuff. And that would be big for me. Oh, that's a very Fraser beverage. I'm over here looking. I couldn't find it. But you know how you can look up Google search terms and activity on them? I was trying to look into White Claw, but...

The trends? I don't know how to find that. Oh, I can do it. I got it. I'm good at this shit. Yeah, we got this. You're trying to do a deep dive into the analytics? I'm trying to see when it exactly spiked in popularity.

Oh, I see what you did there. I see what you did there. I will pull back the curtain. We have been contacted by, you know, someone that works for White Claw. And so. Really? You're just not telling us this? I don't think we're getting a sponsorship deal.

I don't think they're going to do that. But I think we are getting some free stuff. Is this going to be like ACL? Where we just don't tell people how much money they're giving us and then we talk about it just because they're exactly oh man that's exactly what it is damn it yeah damn and you just you let the cat out of the bag um i can confer okay so white claw's previous oh hold on i need to change my no okay white claw's previous highest interest on google trends was over memorial day weekend oh and that reached about a 34 on the trend scale it's hitting a hundo right now white claw whoa so it's soaring it's so. I'm open to not trying to just be antagonistic towards them,

but I would like to try the Truly just to see. I've never had it. It's just more flavorful, and I don't like that. It's just not as good. I'm not afraid to say that. I remember when I tried White Claw for the first time, like maybe three years ago. It was on a whim because I was doing some market research for different beverages and i bought white claw and

i remember i tried it and i don't know if i talked about it on the old podcast but i had a few people message me on snapchat like dude my wife loves this stuff it's actually pretty good. And this is a while ago. I mean, John Duda wrote a column for a website called postgradproblems.com. And his headline was just White Claws the Four Loko of a New Generation. You got to think there's some SEO traffic going that way. This was a year ago he wrote this. So they've been a thing for a while.

But now they've been, they've been a thing for a while, but now they've reached, they've reached supremacy. They are spike seltzer royalty at this point. He had a bad take here. Okay. He said people aren't getting alcohol poisoning like they were from four locos, which is fair. Uh,

but there is something about the white claw that feels like it does not have staying power. Oh, John, man, you should definitely screenshot that and highlight it and tweet have staying power. Oh, John. Man, you should definitely screenshot that and highlight it and tweet it and then add him. That's kind of what I was saying earlier.

It just feels like too flash in the panty to me. Like it's here and then it's going to be, it's just going to fade. I don't think it's going to do that though. I hope not. But you know how people are. They've been a beast in that sector for over a

year or two i think now they're just reaching meme culture maybe i'm just too caught up in meme culture i'm just like you know i see these things come and go yeah but they were they were something before the memes which is hard to do most people aren't before the memes yeah unless they come out with some kind of um i don't know women's team tweet that has like a portrait of all of america what if they just did that same bleacher report tweet but just with all the white like somebody's claws in the somebody should make that honestly yeah oh that would be terrible if someone made that sent it to us and we posted it or if they just happen to Photoshop our faces into that, it'd be weird.

I am in on white cloth. Like this, like I know it may seem like a bit, I am actually drinking these things and I'm enjoying it. Oh yeah. I think that's been made clear. Like we're not spending money to, to,

to just get a photo off. Like they're refreshing. I do want to try putting like a, a floater on it sometime if I'm really needing to turn things up a little bit. Because there was a point on Saturday when I was like in the water and I was enjoying myself with some white claws. And we're hitting hard. And I was like, I want to I want to be drunker than I am right now. Wow.

They need to start making like nitro white claw. That's like 10 percent. They could talk to us. We could teach them how to optimize. Look, we've already done work. We're working with brands like Callaway. We created their new driver, The Pipe. What was the other one from the other podcast?

I don't know. Go listen to it. We definitely invented something for somebody else. We're planning on doing that. For you guys, Mr. and Mrs. Claw, we'll teach you how to optimize this shit. Not to give away the whole thing, but maybe put a little MCT in there.

Some healthy fats to really get you going loco. If you're trying to twist and turn up, we're the people to talk to. I fucking love White Claw, man. It's the hottest social thing i've i've done since uh country will and i think i like it more it's a lot easier it's a lot more organic for me to do white claw content than it is for me to do country well content yeah that's the difference here you actually enjoy if this means no more claw well i mean luke bryan is still the greatest country artist he He's the king of country.

Like I said, you actually enjoy White Claw as opposed to the other bit. No, no, no. Like, just to be clear, Luke Bryan is the king. I will say that we, I think, I'll speak for Dylan, we enjoy the White Claw more than the other one. Okay. That makes sense. That makes sense. Yeah.

Yeah. Thanks for speaking for me, David. You're exactly right. And I'm also going to speak for Dylan when I say, no, I'm kidding. So White Claw actually says on their website website we talked about this the other day we talked about like what a white claw is it says on their website that it takes inspiration from the legend of the white claw wave when three perfect crests come together this is kind of like our podcast we're each of these crests wait that's actually what it means come together to create a moment of pure refreshment are you making that up they have a

film we were talking about this last week well that we were we were citing an urban dictionary yeah i didn't know that actually had legs to it is it because do you want to listen to their film that they made about white claw real obviously will it's only 16 seconds long, but we can make it happen. Okay. Dave, cord me. And then can we... Okay. Call you James Corden. Please, God, don't do that again. So this is their 16-second film that they explain their...

They explain everything. Okay, I have another point I want to make after this. Well, you can make it now. I'm just getting this set up. It's very rare we okay so like the white cloth thing we're we used to do a job better than anybody on the internet of ruining things yeah like just running them into the ground i miss those days they could have made they could have made a netflix series on us just called ruining things we tried but it and then you look around everybody's fucking room like it's a group effort and i

don't think it's going anywhere i just want to say we're trying our damnedest to ruin this but we're not you know it's not just us i'm not saying i didn't start i didn't start the white cloth stuff by any means at all but when i started doing my own white claw content it was original content like i wasn't like taking inspiration from someone else i just thought to myself like i think there's an opportunity here to go hard on white claws well you deserve a medal i know here's their film it's called white claw hard seltzer pure moments their film it's a they call it a film and which is bold for a 16 minute thing this is an emotion 16 minute or sorry 16 seconds okay yeah yeah yeah all right yeah i didn't i didn't turn this up So I apologize for what's going on right now.

How much are they paying us for this? They should be paying us more. Nothing yet, Dave. Sorry, I made a mistake. I had the wrong USB port. People make mistakes. You really drank margs all weekend? Like margaritas?

Yeah. What's your tequila? I mix it in with other stuff. Hornitos, I believe, is what we use out there. Yeah, you would drink that. Dude, I'm a big Hornitos guy. There's nothing wrong with it. I like Hornitos a lot.

Yeah, so I got news. The USB cord isn't jiving with my lappy. Okay. So we're going to skip it. It's really delivered. You should just give a fake one. Do a different voice and just do the voiceover. I don't think I have the improv skills to do that.

Okay. Can I take the headphone off my ear? Yeah. Yeah, I think we're good. That was a bummer. Yeah, it's all right, though. Yeah, it's a good tease. It's a good tease.

Selmer of Seltzer. Brian Seltzer Orchestra over here. It's hot right now. The whole nation is getting... Call me Chuck Kloster, man, because I'm just writing a hell of tweets about White Claw. Okay. Okay.

And with that... We should probably talk hymns, I think. What's that supposed to mean? You mean the new wellness brand for men for men you're gonna look right at me and say that really i didn't look at this fucking guy i'm gonna stare directly at my computer screen while talking about them just so i don't like wearing a hat anybody 66 of men lose their hair by age 35 i'm not a math guy but i think that equates to two-thirds it's's about two-thirds, yes. And the thing is, when you start to notice hair loss, it's too late. It's easier to keep the hair you have than to replace the hair you've lost.

Is that hairline slowly starting to move backwards? Do you have any bald spots yet? How will you feel a year from now if it's not business as usual up there anymore? Like, just think about that.

Did Coco win her match? That was a strong episode. I'll be honest. I haven't recorded right now, and I haven't looked yet.

Are we sure it's going on as we speak? I don't know. She was next after Serena. Serena won her match. Should we squad up this weekend for the finals? I don't want to spoil this weekend in fun. Only if Coco's in it. I'm not going to spoil my weekend in fun either, but Coco's in it. I'm not going to spoil my weekend in fun either,

but let me just tell you, I've got some time on my hands. Oh. Yeah. Is someone leaving town? I don't want to spoil it. I might actually not be here for a part of the weekend, so I can't commit.

True story. I have a fridge full of a variety pack of a certain beverage because I bought them for the fights. And the other people that were there joining us, they decided to drink some other stuff. So my fridge right now just looks like a goddamn party. I want to drink an entire variety pack some afternoon. Did you ever do the case race in high school?

Yeah. Looking back, it was a really stupid challenge where you just tried to see how much of a case you could finish. We never did that. We did it. It wasn't like we did it often, but somebody, some super white trash guy was like, we got to do a case race.

We're like, all right, yeah, let's do a case race. We like doing case races. I think I drank like 11. Oh. You know. I feel like you're not going to believe this. I finished a 30 rack of Bush Light one day. I don't believe you.

I swear to God. Swear to God. It hard to believe. No, I swear to God. It was over. It was an extended period. Like, I bought the 30 pack. We were partying all day.

Okay. And between like noon that day and 2 a.m. that night. PEDs or no? No PEDs. And 2 a.m. that night. I and 2 a.m that night i did i drank i'm gonna test your blood how many pieces you get off a lot dude so my buddy and i were just like we had nothing to do were you in a lake we had a pool no we had it was a pool day peeing in the pool i didn't pee in the pool i probably peed in the pool um but no we each did it and we were like

we got close to finishing it like we were like 22 in at like 8 a.m or 8 p. Like, we were, like, 22 in at, like, 8 a.m. or 8 p.m. And we were like, yeah, we got to finish this for ourselves. Did you have the moment where you kind of sobered up? Like, even though you're 20 beers deep? You ever had that where you've been drinking beer so long that, like, you just kind of end up like, wait, I'm not that drunk. You're legally drunk, but you don't feel as drunk as you once did. It got to the point where it was like, I'm just hammered. hammered and like i'm losing my hammeredness with every bush light because they're not that they're not high in alcohol percentage like and if you're in your prime

drinking days you can drink a lot this was like my peak of being able to pound booze if i if you sat me down with a 30 pack of bush light right now i could finish maybe eight before i was like yeah i'm sick i think for me 19 was my prime being able to throw them back here. I wasn't in the same range. Yeah. You know what I mean? I was never a- Too stupid to know.

Yeah. I can never take down a ton of beer. Ever. Like I said, this was over like a 14-hour span. That's two beers an hour for 14 hours. I don't know if I'll ever drink more than 10 beers again. I will. 14 hours. I don't know if I'll ever drink more than 10 beers again. I will.

Like, unless I'm at some kind of, I'm normally going to drink a few beers and then switch over. That's all I'm saying. I normally drink exactly one, but like, if I'm really getting like, same, because the thing with me now is,

I don't just drink beer if I'm going to do a date, you know, a day at the lake, for example. I'm going to mix it up. I'm going to have a cocktail, just a, throw something. I'm going to mix it up. I'm going to have a cocktail, just throw something else in the mix. You're going to have an Eldoran beer all day.

Drinking Eldorns. I don't like getting full. And now that I have actual money, when I did that, the only thing I had to drink was that 30-pack of Bush Light because I probably couldn't afford to get anything else at that point.

But now it's like, oh, I'm going to make a nice margarita right now. And that's going to be like five Bush Lights. i had just gotten my like subway paycheck or something i might have like balled out and gotten like some shiner bach then drinking like three and a half and then been like absolutely done because the back of the subway yeah in the back no never in i never drank shiner only coronas and you guys shiner boys between making party i used to be shiner used to be my panic order at a bar. I hate Shiner.

If the bartender got to me too early, I would just panic and go Shiner. I don't hate Shiner, but it's not something I ever order. There's too many beers. It's not craft enough for Dylan over here. True. What craft beers did you drink this weekend, Dylan?

I didn't really do much beer this weekend. I did have a couple of the Carbock Crawfords. It's a Bach, a it's a Bach. And it's pretty good. Those are the Houston Astros looking cans. Those are tight. Those are tight.

Best looking can in the game. Those are tight. They're really cool. And I'm not an Astros guy. That's saying a lot. Carbock's not my favorite. It's a decent can. It's not my favorite

Texas brewery. But they do fine work. Those are good. Yeah. Those are good. God, dude. A lot of booze talk for a Monday.

Yeah. Kind of making me fiend. Dude, you want to go pound? Let's go pound some claws right now. Like, have claws for the bobs. I would go get some claws. Pounding claws on a Monday afternoon. I don't know, man.

I feel like I could drink a white claw the second I wake up, and it wouldn't really, like, affect me. Well, I'm starting to worry about you, man. Jesus. He's waking up reaching for claws. I've had three today. I woke up early for wouldn't really like affect me. Well, I'm starting to worry about you, man. Jesus. He's waking up reaching for claws. I've had three today. I woke up early for the Serena Williams match

and I was just drinking White Claws. Are you getting paid like on the low? I wish. Is there like a slush fund I don't know about? What's going on here? Yeah, can I start expensing White Claws? Like if it's White Claws, can I start expensing those?

Do you guys mind? Only if I can start expensing cold brew. No, we'd lose way more money on you doing cold brew than me on White Claw. You know, I went to, so it was my wife's birthday. My wife. Happy birthday, Alyssa. Made your shouts. Went to a little place called June's.

I should probably wish Sally happy birthday while we're doing happy birthdays. HBD, Sally. Isn't hers today? Right now. Oh, cool. Happy 30th. Oh, Sally. Isn't hers today? Right now. Oh, cool. Happy 30th. Oh, damn. So I went to June's,

and I did a loco movie at a 430 res. I ordered an old speckled hen, which is a great beer. You ordered something else, too. I saw it in your story. I ordered a Stumptown. Oh, that's what it was? So I thought it was a Coke.

It looked like Jack and Coke. I thought you ordered a Coke, and I was like, dude, what is he doing? It looked like I was double fisting, but it was actually just a Stum that they put like on their perfectly blended ice and like a great look like a cocktail glass so it definitely looked like i was just a dude just going hard on the fourth of july sunday weekend i got a uh i got a big dr pepper yesterday at bucky's didn't hate it do you get a two off at Bucky's?

No, I actually didn't have to go to the bathroom at Bucky's. That's too bad. You gotta go in there just for the experience. It's a wasted opportunity. I didn't have to go to the bathroom. If you have bowels... I did get some yogurt-covered pretzels, though, in addition to my Dr. Pepper. At the urinals, they have the hand sanitizer at every single one.

It's awesome. People in Bucky's do not care what you're doing. They will just bust through you. Just like truck stick you in the middle of Buc-ee's. Yeah. Straight chaos. No rules in Buc-ee's. The only thing that I would fix there is their checkout.

It's mayhem. Yeah, I agree with that. Everything else is like an efficiency machine in there. The checkout is just all over the map. Did you buy any like wall art with like a corinthians verse on it no i thought about it you can accidentally spend like 50 bucks in there like it's like it's nothing yeah but like my my massive soda yesterday was like 60 cents that's how they get you was it a bottle dr pepper or like a no no i did in the styrofoam

with their good eye they've got good ass ice gas is usually pretty inexpensive and then they have deals like that like oh come in here and get a giant drink for $0.60. Apparently, their entire business plan is based off drinks, ice, and bathrooms. Also, bedazzled crosses. Yeah, like really generic. Rustic cross. Like Texas flag things that say

like, wasn't born here but got here as soon as I could. Rustic picture frames. Will got a come and take it flag for his vehicle. Nice, dude. They spelled it wrong. C-O-M-E. That's weird. Take it back, man.

Yeah. I did see a guy on the side of the road yesterday who was, his car had broken down. And as we got closer to him, I saw that he had the truck nuts hanging off the back of his truck. And I was like, man, I'm having a really hard time feeling bad for you. Well, dude, maybe he had some issues. He had one of his nuts removed. And that was like a solidarity thing? Yeah.

Yeah. Should we get out of here? Dude, Lance Armstrong should have put truck nuts on the back of his bike. That would have been a flex. Are you in on the tour? His bike? Dude, if there's one thing I don't see me getting into, it's cycling. I respect it,

but it's either soccer or cycling and soccer is going to win out just because it's in the pantheon of background, a good background noise sports. Like it's a, it's a perfect one to have in the background because you just have the British announcer. You're just listening along for like the good sprints. So you just look up for that when they're flying down a hill and somebody might crash. That's it. I just want the viral vids of people wrecking. Yeah. Okay, we can go. All right, let's get out of here.

Bye. Bye.
