Chef Donnie
What's up?
Eddie
Hello, Brandon.
Big Cat
Hello, Danny. Hello, Kate.
Kate
People forget Folgers just slaughters dogs.
Big Cat
They do.
Brandon
They do. They kill people.
Kate
You got to go with Stella Blue.
Brandon
Yeah, that's right.
Kate
They just put them on a conveyor
Big Cat
belt and just absolutely.
Brandon
For no reason.
Kate
They don't do a wood chipper.
Big Cat
No. Yeah.
Titus
They don't put it in the coffee.
Big Cat
They don't convert them to coffee.
Kate
Just a waste.
Danny
Put a muzzle in their mouth so don't bark too loud.
Kate
Yep.
Danny
Slaughter them.
Big Cat
Kill them.
Brandon
It's like whoever the rival was of the ancient Greeks to float across water rather than using, like, wood raft, they would kill sheep and then take out their insides. And like inflate them and float across.
Big Cat
It's a very specific fact you remember just like that.
Brandon
It was kind of similar. Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Danny
Was it more ingenious or freaky?
Brandon
It looked a little freaky deaky.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
Because they were naked. They were all naked back then.
Big Cat
I would say one of the easiest things to figure out. Of course, I wasn't around back then to figure things out, but wood. Wood very much floats. Right. And you. The.
Titus
Yeah. I feel like.
Big Cat
You feel like a raft is one of the first things we came up with.
Brandon
But like, what about. I think it would be easier to get the inside out of a sheep than get cut down wood.
Big Cat
I disagree.
Brandon
Really? If I gave you ancient tools. Yeah, I'm getting the inside out of a sheep fest and you're chopping down a tree.
Big Cat
No, I think I'm chopping down actually. Let's do it.
Danny
How would you cedar?
Big Cat
Like, what do you. I don't know if I'm felling a cedar. I don't need. I don't need a fully grown, mature cedar for a raft. I can just take 10 yearling trees, some saplings. I can take 10 young trees and make a raft. You guys are gutting a sheep.
Brandon
I think that's pretty fun. Should we head fast?
Kate
But then. Wait, you're blowing up the what, like a bullet?
Brandon
Like, you're like blowing up. It's like stomach.
Kate
You gotta get all the.
Brandon
I don't know what it's called.
Danny
Like, there's a.
Brandon
There's a. Like a carving of it. You can see these, like naked men just floating across the river.
Titus
Acquiring that knowledge takes a lot more work than. Yeah, learning that wood floss.
Big Cat
Right.
Eddie
Let's have Rick Got a sheep.
Big Cat
If I'm standing looking at a forest and you're standing looking at sheep, you can get my brain to. To. To the. The raft faster than you would.
Brandon
You didn't know wood floated. I would think I would look at a sheep and I would look at wood. I'd be like one of the sheep.
Big Cat
But do you have the power of observation? If you're standing by a river, you could see a piece of wood floating about.
Brandon
Think about seeing a tree. The first thought wouldn't be like, oh, that. That probably floats. I would be like, that sinks fast.
Big Cat
Well, think. These people have already had to figure out shelter. Guess what they use for shelter. They would cut down trees.
Brandon
That's not floating.
Big Cat
No, but they. They were familiar with the properties of wood.
Brandon
They were familiar with sheep too.
Titus
They weren't familiar with floods intestines there's
Kate
probably trees floating in the flood.
Big Cat
I would. I would assume so, because they were probably eating sheep.
Brandon
And then they saw that and like, what do we do with this?
Big Cat
I don't think so.
Kate
They were using them for condoms, too.
Brandon
Yeah, they were sheepskin.
Kate
No, the intestines.
Titus
Fucked up, man. Mm. It really real fucked up.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
Do sheepskin condoms still exist for the latex allergy bros?
Big Cat
I don't know. I'm not. I'm not big into the condom game.
Kate
I know how some guys roll their own cigarettes. You think there's a guy out there who's like, yeah, make my own, definitely.
Brandon
And he probably. Would that work on you?
Kate
You go back to his place and he's got a. Yeah.
Brandon
If a guy at a bar was just, like, pulled out, he's like, you know, I made this.
Big Cat
That guy shouldn't be near a pussy.
Brandon
A guy that makes condoms, if he
Big Cat
makes his own condoms, that guy's got time. That.
Brandon
Natural lambs, $31.
Big Cat
Yeah, but it's.
Kate
Is that a lot or a little?
Big Cat
I don't know.
Kate
Is it made of lamb or is
Big Cat
it just saying that does say Luxury.
Titus
Luxury.
Big Cat
Luxury condoms.
Brandon
That's what the rich says.
Big Cat
Condoms.
Titus
Oh, yeah.
Brandon
Is this a website just for condoms? DJ Undercover Condoms Dot com. Can we go to, like, bestsellers or worst sellers? I'm going to click away first. So it's not like we.
Eddie
I'd rather pay the extra 19.
Brandon
They're.
Titus
We go to the bargain bin.
Brandon
Yeah, right. Like, what is their clearance?
Big Cat
Condoms.
Brandon
Oh, that's a good logo. That's a sly ass.
Danny
Dude.
Brandon
I never got dental dams. That's a tab up there.
Big Cat
What the. The. That's a lot of condom varieties, I guess. Larger condoms, smaller condoms. That makes sense. Texture.
Brandon
I like that it says smaller and not small.
Big Cat
Spermicidal condoms. Condom accessories, Climax control.
Kate
What's climax control?
Brandon
That probably keeps you from busting quick.
Chef Donnie
How?
Brandon
Maybe thicker or a numbing agent, maybe.
Kate
What are condom accessories?
Brandon
Yeah, right.
Kate
Jibbets.
Brandon
Kate. I swear to God, my first thought was jibbets.
Big Cat
Huh. What's chibbit?
Brandon
Those are the accessories for your Crocs. Maybe. I'm such a loser.
Big Cat
I don't even know what the word broken is.
Dave
This website, not real.
Brandon
Everything's broken except the sheepskin one.
Big Cat
People aren't buying. Gone.
Brandon
I deleted the website just now. Maybe our. Our audience crashed it. They all rushed to it.
Eddie
Oh, man.
Big Cat
All right. What's everybody. What's everybody. What's everybody up to? What are you doing?
Brandon
Who's that in the massage chair. There is no way you can sit in a massage chair. Not look lazy as.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
Oh, no.
Eddie
With your feet dangling like that.
Danny
If you get up.
Titus
I'm gonna work out of the massage chair today.
Brandon
Was in it yesterday. Damn near upside down.
Eddie
Really?
Brandon
It goes pretty far back. I haven't had a chance to use it. Just there's somebody in it at all times.
Big Cat
Like Roosevelt's kid. Like, he looks.
Brandon
Oh, yeah, he looks. He looks like. He's like a. That's a high tech bound boy.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
There he goes. Damn.
Big Cat
Oh, we all need to sit in that before Jerry takes it home.
Brandon
Is he taking it?
Big Cat
Good Lord.
Brandon
Rough day at work?
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah. Rough day in the gambling cave. Is just moving from the couch to the massage chair.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kate
I'm tired of farting in this chair. This one.
Brandon
Where should I fart and watch the act?
Big Cat
Is that Doug?
Brandon
That was Doug.
Big Cat
Well, Doug side. Yeah. Doug's fleeting. Doug's like our bigfoot.
Brandon
I love him.
Big Cat
I still. Can we get chef Donnie in here?
Brandon
You want him?
Big Cat
I just woke up this morning. I saw him. I was walking to the bathroom, and I saw him holding court with the. It was over in the PMT corner. I know a lot of those guys aren't here, but he was holding court with about five guys, and I just was very curious of what he's holding court about.
Brandon
Okay, so if we want to get Chef Donnie in here, one of us has to get him.
Big Cat
Yeah. Could we, kids? Okay. You. You can't walk. I can't walk. I don't have his number.
Titus
Yeah, who does?
Kate
He.
Titus
Is he actually here?
Big Cat
I've seen him. Yeah. Coming out of. Mostly I went to the bathroom and I walked past him, and he was. He had a rapt audience. Like, they were. They were enraptured by whatever he was saying. And he was saying something like. Yeah, we were walking through. We were walking through grass so thick it came up to your waist or something like that.
Eddie
Okay.
Titus
He's telling a story.
Big Cat
He was spinning a tail of. Of something that he did.
Brandon
Titus, when he comes on, ask if he has any skiing coming up because he gets real offended. He thinks people think that he's like. Takes a lot of time off work
Big Cat
to ski, but does he have skiing coming up?
Brandon
Probably. I called him ski boy once and was really mad.
Big Cat
He's.
Titus
I mean, he's never here.
Brandon
Brandon. He's always skiing.
Big Cat
He's here. I saw him.
Titus
I. I mean, tj, can we see the kitchen again?
Big Cat
Could be in that booth over there, right?
Brandon
Camera's dead. I have to reset it.
Titus
Oh, no. The deutsche bracket.
Brandon
Oh, no.
Danny
Sagging.
Big Cat
I think he. Deutsch has to put it up every. Every single day gets here. The first day I got here, the first day of the tournament I got here, and they were all like that. And he has to go over it every single morning.
Brandon
Yeah, you were kind of running out. That's not a very good for tape. Wall kind of running out. Like flat surface. Not a good tape. Look, it's.
Danny
It's.
Brandon
I think he was really, really worried about ripping up the. The paint. It's like a school wall that you would, like, use a pencil.
Big Cat
I mean, we need to get him a permanent wall if he's gonna do this every year. Just get a wall that is a bracket.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
What about that one?
Titus
Have we acknowledged that he misspelled his own name?
Kate
I was looking at that and wondering.
Brandon
I think. I think he was in a real hurry.
Kate
Doit sees.
Brandon
But granted, it's not his name. Not his name.
Titus
Also not as.
Big Cat
Yeah, okay.
Brandon
Maybe he's never written it.
Big Cat
All right.
Brandon
Is that the first time he wrote it?
Kate
Wait, his name's not Deutsch?
Brandon
No. He stole that from a woman from a commercial.
Titus
A lawyer.
Brandon
Yeah.
Big Cat
His name is not Ronnie Deutsch.
Brandon
No, that's a woman.
Big Cat
Is his name Ronnie? No.
Titus
No.
Big Cat
What's his goddamn name?
Brandon
His name's Tom.
Big Cat
His name's Tom.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kate
No, it's not.
Brandon
Yeah, we've done this on the show.
Big Cat
We've done this.
Titus
I know.
Big Cat
We've done other people. You guys.
Titus
No, we've done control on your cars.
Brandon
That might be the. The first time he wrote his name.
Big Cat
Huh?
Eddie
Nailed it.
Big Cat
Also, if he just took the name, he could spell it however he wants to.
Brandon
He already changed the spelling. It's not even. He spells it differently than the lady.
Titus
Why? It just texted us. Donnie's not here right now.
Brandon
Give him a call.
Big Cat
I just saw him at 11:30. He left already. He spent. He spent 15 minutes here.
Brandon
He's probably on right now.
Titus
Let me see.
Big Cat
You should call him and ask. Just call him and see where he is.
Titus
He's not going to answer.
Brandon
You don't think so?
Titus
Not going to answer my. I don't. Let me find his number.
Big Cat
We gotta watch. There's a documentary that just came out about Adina and how they're the most hated hockey team in Minnesota.
Rick
Really?
Dave
Yeah.
Big Cat
Mensey's friends did it. Snapback Sports Crew.
Brandon
Oh, yeah. The guys he invited to.
Big Cat
Yeah. So we gotta. There The. The fact that Adina is the most Hated town in America, basically, is no longer.
Brandon
Nobody recommends documentaries, so I'm gonna have to watch that. Thank you. I got one for you. I got two for you, actually.
Big Cat
Two documentaries.
Kate
Documentaries?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
One doc, one mock one.
Big Cat
He's not answering your call. Has been unbelievable. Yeah, unbelievable. What are your DOC recommendations, T.J. the bowling one.
Brandon
These are pre. Pre recommendations. I haven't watched them yet.
Big Cat
Oh, wait a second. A prere. Wait a.
Brandon
That's stealing value.
Big Cat
That's against spirit of recommendation. Recommendation that's up.
Brandon
I'm recommending you watch it and then tell me how it is.
Kate
Oh, I will watch it. I think I told you guys about the bowling one because we're friends with that guy.
Brandon
Yeah, he was on.
Big Cat
I don't know where the recommendation is now.
Dave
You.
Big Cat
He recommended it to you, and you're telling us to watch it? Have you watched it yet?
Kate
I told you guys to watch it weeks ago.
Big Cat
So you just got recommended. Recommendation cocked.
Titus
I will say Kate has a pretty good hit rate, but she's kind of abusing her power. She is, like, just haphazardly. She's coming in, just fucking spraying wrecks.
Danny
Yeah.
Titus
And I'm like, doused. And Rex. I walk out of the office and I got Rex just fucking ripping off.
Big Cat
But you love docs.
Titus
I do, but it's like, this is too much. This is an all you can doc buffet.
Brandon
Do you like docs or do you like wrecks? Me, you like. Do you watch docs so you can wreck.
Kate
I'm going through a big documentary phase right now.
Brandon
It's been, like five years.
Kate
I know, because I. I feel like that's why I started having kids. My world's a little bit smaller, which is fine. But I feel like I like watching docs because, like, I'm living other people's lives for a minute.
Brandon
Sad. Oh, fuck.
Big Cat
God damn it.
Kate
I watched Free Solo again recently, just for the B roll. I just wanted to be outside.
Big Cat
It's solo, rewatchable, and that's kind of. Yeah, it is.
Kate
I was on the edge of my seat all over again.
Chef Donnie
Yeah.
Brandon
Ben Stiller trying to make pop.
Big Cat
Yeah. And he's. And people are ignoring him.
Brandon
Yeah, I think so.
Titus
Soda Pop or Soda Pop.
Kate
He got kind of defensive about it.
Dave
Yeah, he's.
Brandon
He's a defensive Twitter guy.
Kate
Yes.
Big Cat
I gotta be honest, as famous as he is, I do think if I went to a store and Ben Stiller was standing in the front with a camera crew, I wouldn't bat an eye. I don't think he. He wouldn't he wouldn't inspire me to be like, oh, my God, I gotta talk to Ben Stiller.
Brandon
Most celebrity driven men I've ever met. Straight men.
Big Cat
But I don't know that actors kind of miss that with me. Athletes, yes. Wrestlers, yes. Mantiquers, yes. Actors I don't kind of give a fuck about. If I saw.
Brandon
Not movie stars, but I think if you saw sitcom actors.
Big Cat
If I saw Rest in Peace Malcolm Jamal Warner before he died, I would have freaked out. Yes.
Brandon
Zach Braff.
Big Cat
Yeah. Okay. Yeah, you're right. If I saw Zach Braff, I'd forget.
Dave
Yeah.
Danny
I think now just celebrities are so accessible that they don't really move the needle.
Brandon
The mystique is gone.
Danny
Remember, like, growing up, if you just saw, like, someone who was like, in gym class. Heroes.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Danny
Like, that was like. The whole town knew.
Brandon
My dad saw Danny Glover on an elevator and I stole that from him. Was telling people I did. And that was like my biggest thing that's ever happened to me.
Big Cat
I saw the WCBI sports anchor Joe Furia at the mall one time at Morrison's, eating dinner right before his newscast. And it changed my 1989. It was the. It was the biggest moment of 1989.
Brandon
Did you, like, keep on walking past?
Big Cat
No, my mom was like, hey. And introduced me to him.
Brandon
How'd your mom know him?
Big Cat
My mom knew all the guys back then. She knew every single guy.
Brandon
Interesting. Every single guy.
Big Cat
Yeah. And no. She worked in the Mississippi State athletic department and she had to hook him up with stuff. Anyway, I. I met the local news anchor and that was a huge deal for me.
Brandon
Oh, yeah.
Big Cat
I loved. I love those guys.
Eddie
I saw Chapel Roan got put in hadlock.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah. She fucked you up.
Eddie
Woke up shackled to a radiator.
Brandon
Kind of sick.
Eddie
Speaking of documentaries, though, there was a heated debate amongst two men in their 30s about dinosaurs versus trains.
Brandon
This morning I was on that. I was on a pod. I was on a brain clash.
Eddie
But it extended to after the podcast.
Big Cat
Go on.
Eddie
We had glimpses of old White Sox. Dave back. I think there's a video on Viva and our dear friend Stephen Che was
Brandon
involved in it, so you don't hear it in the video. The argument was, children are oftentimes obsessed with dinosaurs or trains. Boys, young boys. What is the better thing to be obsessed with as an adult? Trains or dinosaurs. And Che took trains. Dave took dinosaurs.
Titus
And the podcast checks out, by the way. I agree. That makes total sense, wholeheartedly.
Big Cat
I'd like to hear Chase side before
Brandon
I determine, of course, but the Podcast is coming out where they really. They. They calmly until the end are breaking this down. But then I left to go record another show, and apparently it got incredibly heated still to the point where Dave came in and yelled at me, like, for some reason. And that's on a Viva camera. But I voted for him. I thought he won the argument. He was still mad at me.
Big Cat
I lean dinosaurs before I hear any of the takes.
Brandon
We were screaming just because dinosaurs are cooler.
Titus
I'm on chase.
Big Cat
Right. Trains, Trains.
Danny
Trains.
Titus
They're functional.
Brandon
That's what purpose.
Titus
They serve. A purpose for an adult. Adult. Yeah, an adult train.
Brandon
And a lot of dinosaur stuff is. Is our guesses.
Titus
That's right.
Big Cat
Yeah, you're right. You're right. And certainly you get into more of what makes a train work and you grow up and you.
Brandon
Train has a negative connotation.
Big Cat
Train maps are fun. Like, there's a lot of band. What? Jay, what was your stance?
Mark
So Dave got to choose. So he went dinosaurs first. So I had trains. No matter what, I do believe trains.
Danny
Wait, this was a debate where you only could pick one you could defer.
Brandon
So if you win the previous debate, you get a choice of. Do you want to take this?
Danny
Or this is a series we're doing at the office.
Eddie
A brain clash on the dog.
Big Cat
How did get determined that trains and dinosaurs were the opponents here?
Eddie
I believe they have people send in suggestions, and that was it.
Big Cat
Okay. All right. Actually, should we just watch the. We have a Viva video. Yeah, let me see that before we do anything else. Podcast.
Dave
I was not.
Brandon
I have not said it's not hypothetical.
Big Cat
This is real life for me.
Brandon
I am obsessed with.
Dave
I didn't ever say that.
Big Cat
Four dinosaurs.
Dave
I didn't ever say that. I said I like science.
Mark
You just said this two minutes ago.
Dave
Did I say I was. Did I say I was obsessed with dinosaurs? Two minutes.
Brandon
That's every day.
Mark
You said, why would it be hypothetical? This is real life for me.
Dave
I already love dinosaurs. I didn't say. You were putting words in my mouth. I said I enjoy consuming dinosaur content. Something I already do. I haven't. I don't do that. I. Oh, no.
Big Cat
Name four dinosaurs.
Dave
I do.
Danny
You just name three.
Dave
Who cares what they're in podcast.
Big Cat
I was so Dave definitely said what he's saying. He didn't say. Right.
Eddie
There is another video.
Brandon
There's so much.
Titus
This is laser tag all over again. Like, I love dinosaur.
Brandon
Dave forgets that. It's like being recorded Prehistoric laser. Every single time. Dave was tearing me up yesterday. I think he Dave forgot, I think, like, the term, like a woman's perspective.
Danny
Oh, yeah.
Brandon
And so he was going around the office yesterday just being like, we need some female juice. He's like, anaka, get over here. We need female juice.
Danny
He was going around asking people, skiing or snowboarding. And it was just a bunch of dudes.
Brandon
And he's like, okay, let's get female views. I was like, ew, dude
Big Cat
argument.
Mark
What would you rather be obsessed with at your current age, trains or dinosaurs? He got to pick first and chose dinosaurs, which is fair. But then he was saying how he consumes a lot of dinosaur content. And I said, YouTube shorts.
Brandon
He was only saying he watches it on YouTube. Jurassic Park.
Dave
And then, and then he rattled Jurassic Park.
Chef Donnie
That's hard.
Mark
And if you're obsessed with dinosaurs.
Dave
I never said I was obsessed with dinosaurs.
Mark
You said, you said you watch Instagram and YouTube content on dinosaurs all the time.
Dave
Not what I said. I. I said. And I hope you back me up because this is. This is how it went. I said that I like science adjacent outer space. I started rattling off all that stuff. Outer space, whatever,
Brandon
the whole pod. That's the only science he could name.
Dave
I'm already consuming dinosaur content here and there. I didn't say I'm obsessed with or anything. I said trains. They don't interest me. I don't care about the engineering behind them. I don't care how they work.
Chef Donnie
To me, they're just a motive.
Titus
I don't care about the science behind them.
Dave
Space happened in the past and millions and millions of years ago. And that's all I said.
Brandon
Can you name five dinosaurs? No. T. Rex?
Chef Donnie
No.
Mark
Raptor?
Dave
Vosaurus. And like all the ones from Jurassic Park. I didn't say. I'm an expert in dinosaur naming.
Mark
Spell Pterodactyl.
Dave
It starts with a P. Okay, that's
Eddie
all I'm going to do.
Dave
I know that's what you were trying to get me. Actually.
Chef Donnie
They just walked on you, though.
Dave
D, A, C, C, T, Y, L.
Brandon
I think that's right.
Dave
Yeah.
Eddie
That's all I'm gonna do. Spells the whole world point.
Big Cat
You there?
Rick
Tune in on Thursday.
Big Cat
Is he here now?
Brandon
I just text him. Okay.
Big Cat
He needs to come. I'd like to have a little bit of there come out here.
Eddie
I was.
Brandon
Is the girl. Is the female juice video out?
Big Cat
We have chairs out here.
Brandon
Do you have that? Danny, was that you filming it?
Eddie
Yeah.
Brandon
Did he say female juices?
Eddie
Yeah, woman juices.
Brandon
There's just. It's an empty office.
Big Cat
No, just curious.
Brandon
And we were Thinking about getting scientifics on the show. What are some science stuff that you like?
Dave
Anything and everything.
Brandon
Like what, outer space?
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Dave
And stars?
Brandon
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Titus
Anything else?
Dave
Oh, yeah.
Brandon
Oh, yes.
Big Cat
Which.
Brandon
Not trains, though.
Dave
What's that?
Brandon
Not trains.
Dave
Not really, no. Yeah.
Brandon
All right.
Big Cat
You don't think there's science that goes into.
Dave
No, there's plenty of science that good. Not the science that really interests me. It doesn't have, like, a list.
Big Cat
All the sciences.
Titus
Space science.
Big Cat
Space, space.
Brandon
What's the science of dinosaurs that you like?
Dave
I. I like the history of dinosaurs. Like, what do you mean, the science of dinosaurs?
Titus
Well, you. You said you like science and that's
Brandon
why you, like, brought dinosaurs.
Titus
So you said the science of dinosaurs.
Dave
I like anything that's just, like, weird and out there and can get my brain going in different directions. Mark.
Big Cat
Like space and dinosaur.
Dave
Some people like. You like sports.
Big Cat
You also like sports.
Dave
I. I kind of hate them at the moment, but.
Big Cat
No, you don't.
Dave
I do. I'm mad.
Big Cat
You love sports.
Dave
I love sports. I'm angry at my favorite sport right now.
Big Cat
Aren't you guys turning the corner?
Dave
No.
Big Cat
Okay.
Dave
They're gonna win at most 70 games.
Big Cat
But they're young and exciting.
Dave
No, they're not.
Big Cat
They are.
Dave
They're not, but.
Big Cat
They are.
Dave
They're not.
Big Cat
Okay.
Titus
All right.
Big Cat
See wins.
Mark
Here's snowboarder.
Dave
All right, we need some female juice in here.
Eddie
We like the female juice. Maybe not for an ad, but.
Big Cat
What do you mean by female juice?
Eddie
You need some girls in the video.
Dave
Yeah, we need girls in the video.
Eddie
So why not phrase it the most grotesque way possible?
Brandon
That was. That was worse than, like, your use of cunt.
Dave
No, I don't think that is female juice. You went that direction, not me.
Brandon
You said it.
Dave
I just meant, like, some added flair to the video. You went the sexual route.
Big Cat
Right, but is that the best phrase to use?
Dave
No, it wasn't. It was poorly phrased, for sure.
Kate
Why'd you ask me to squirt some thoughts out earlier?
Chef Donnie
That.
Big Cat
I'm. I'm fascinated with your views on science.
Dave
I don't really have views on science. The argument was. Or the question was. Here, let me put my headphones on so I can.
Big Cat
Yeah, that'll help. Think of the question.
Dave
It was something like, children oftentimes develop an obsession with both trains and dinosaurs. At your current age, which would you rather be obsessed with? And I picked dinosaurs because it's more interesting to me. And then Stephen started going on about how career or trains lead to, like, more careers or something. I'm like, I don't really care about that. I just want to be entertained when I'm staring at my phone on the shitter, basically. And that I'm more easily entertained by stuff like dinosaurs or outer space or World War II history, facts, just shit like that.
Brandon
If you went to somebody's house and they were like, I have a train table in the basement or I have dinosaur models in the basement. Which one would you rather go check out?
Dave
Are they like real dinosaur bones or something? I would, I would go to that first.
Brandon
They're not real dinosaur bones.
Dave
Okay.
Brandon
Then they're both figurines. One of trains.
Dave
If it was a nice, like Lionel set, sure. Then probably the train.
Brandon
Yeah.
Dave
In that exact moment. Yeah.
Big Cat
I mean, I suggest if you want to be entertained on the shitter, like there's some outstanding trains going through, like mountain YouTube.
Dave
Yeah, yeah.
Big Cat
Very pleasing and very calming and very.
Dave
I don't know.
Big Cat
Okay.
Kate
There's also a lot of big train influencers. Like that guy who's like, here comes dick my butt.
Brandon
Oh, yeah, yeah. And then he's in like the new Top Gear, I think. Or he's in a new. Yeah, he's like a new.
Dave
I don't think I know that one.
Kate
Yeah, he's like sponsored by Chanel and stuff or something like high end brands and everything. But I don't see dino influencers like that.
Brandon
Yeah, where are the dino?
Kate
Yeah, where's the.
Dave
I don't. I don't know if I've came across any actual dinosaur influencers. It's more just the clickbait, like slide through.
Brandon
So that might not even be science. I could just be made up.
Dave
Yeah, totally, totally. But the, the theme around the. It could be made up is dinosaurs. And that grabs me more than a train would.
Big Cat
What'd you think of the new Netflix series came out.
Dave
I haven't seen it yet. That's on the to do tonight, actually. It's on the to do list tonight.
Brandon
What else is on the to do list tonight?
Dave
I don't know. You want to pry?
Titus
Check your receipts.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Titus
Gotta check your.
Brandon
Yeah, you gotta.
Dave
Receipt,
Big Cat
you know.
Brandon
You didn't see Jeff's printer?
Dave
No.
Titus
Oh, man.
Dave
I don't know what we're talking about anymore.
Titus
I can't stop thinking about the printer. Stop thinking about how he has his own handle on the printer. He's got a Yoda.
Brandon
He's got a baby Yoda with his.
Titus
You can't even read the task because half of the page is a Yoda with his. Jeff D Low. Why does he need to have at Jeff D Lowe?
Brandon
Are you a to do list guys?
Dave
Yeah.
Titus
It's his own to do list. He doesn't need the baby.
Danny
So he just had to build a little script code there.
Big Cat
I gotta write. Gotta edit the some video.
Titus
And then I added a little task at the end there.
Mark
I simply click save and boom.
Big Cat
It just prints out all of my
Mark
tasks individually on receipt paper.
Brandon
The little off show you.
Titus
I got my name on it.
Big Cat
Got a little logo there. How's. How's your attention? You made it about three seconds in that video. We've already seen this for you.
Dave
I And then of course when you're
Brandon
done with that was. That was crazy.
Titus
That was insane.
Mark
Ask over.
Big Cat
You just showed me your to do list on your phone.
Dave
Yeah.
Big Cat
You could have just said that. You don't have to show me your to do list. A lot of people have their to do list on their notes app.
Dave
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
We're showing you a video.
Titus
We're showing you.
Dave
I know.
Titus
I need you to watch the video. I. I didn't watch.
Big Cat
You made it a second and a half.
Eddie
I'll play it again.
Brandon
Let's play it again.
Titus
Play it again.
Dave
It's already too much. It didn't grab me within the first one second. Seat printer.
Mark
And then built a little script code using AI.
Brandon
This is too much print out all
Titus
of my tasks are my tasks there.
Chef Donnie
I gotta write.
Big Cat
This is what we were talking about.
Titus
Hold on. Added a little task at the end in there.
Mark
I simply click save and boom.
Titus
Boom.
Danny
So funny.
Big Cat
Had you watched it the first time?
Brandon
You know nobody's ever boomed a receipt printing out there.
Titus
Got the time that I added in
Dave
the to do list and hey, I'm not going to. If it works for him, it works for him.
Big Cat
But he could just write that down.
Dave
He could. But Jeff's an eccentric guy.
Big Cat
I didn't notice this yesterday. You're absolutely right about.
Titus
You can't even read the test.
Big Cat
You notice taking up half the pretty cool.
Titus
And he doesn't need the the Yoda and the at Jeffy Low cuz it's just for him. It's for him. He knows
Danny
someone should.
Titus
Oh man.
Kate
But does anyone else quietly think it's kind of cool?
Brandon
I like it. I brought it up. But I didn't talk bad about it.
Dave
I don't hate it.
Brandon
That's something that I would have.
Danny
It's not functional or convenient.
Kate
No.
Titus
Or cool.
Danny
Four different receipts that don't stick.
Big Cat
Why do you think you had to pull out your phone and show me your notes app. You could have just told me because
Brandon
he's always on the defense and he automatically assumed that we wouldn't believe him.
Big Cat
No, let me read your to do list.
Dave
Actually, I got to make sure there's nothing actually personal.
Big Cat
I won't read anything personal.
Dave
Yeah, yeah, you're good.
Brandon
What would be something like personal.
Big Cat
Let's see. To do list.
Dave
I have to book a flight for my grandmother's funeral. Nick.
Big Cat
Oh, wow.
Dave
That would be.
Brandon
Yeah, I'm glad we didn't bring that up.
Big Cat
To do list. Email HOA and roof people.
Dave
Yeah, I got to get a new roof.
Big Cat
Got some roof issues.
Rick
Damn.
Big Cat
Yeah. To do list. Flights and Airbnb's. That's the grandmother funeral. You know, God bless your grandmother. Sorry.
Brandon
Sorry about that.
Dave
All good. She lived an excellent life. Fantastic woman.
Big Cat
To do list. Lance Milwaukee. You're going to Lance Milwaukee?
Dave
No, I'm. I have to keep reminding Lance that we have Milwaukee on Sunday for the White Sox Brewers.
Big Cat
Sure.
Dave
Yeah. Keep reminding me.
Big Cat
Email Brooks.
Dave
That's Brooks Boyer with the White Sox.
Titus
Yeah.
Big Cat
Okay. And kill Stephen.
Dave
That would be Kill Stephen, Chad.
Brandon
So for somebody who's mad at their teams, there's a lot of White Sox stuff going on.
Dave
Oh, I wanna actually. I'll say this. I want to do a pig roast with the White Sox this summer. You've actually heard about it?
Brandon
No, I haven't heard about the pick.
Dave
You weren't in? No. Okay.
Big Cat
Well, that sounds great.
Dave
We brought it up in the content meeting the other day.
Brandon
Yeah, amazing.
Big Cat
You want to host a pig roast and invite the White Sox.
Dave
Well, it'd be at Sox park in the. For a tailgate. I want the whole company to come. If you can make it, Obviously.
Big Cat
Who's roasting the pig?
Dave
I would get Chef Joe Flam involved, obviously. Chef Donnie.
Big Cat
So it sounds like. Not Chef Donnie because you named a chef before him.
Dave
Well, Chef Donnie, I've already spoken with
Big Cat
him, but how many people are gonna.
Dave
We're gonna have one actual professional chef. One semi professional chef.
Big Cat
So Chef Donnie, not an actual professional chef.
Dave
I mean, he doesn't run a restaurant.
Big Cat
Oh, he has before.
Dave
Okay. So know what I would back from Chef Donnie? He is a professional.
Eddie
You did beat him in the.
Dave
In the banana bread off. Yeah, I did.
Big Cat
If that. You think Chef Donnie's an amateur?
Dave
I don't think he's an amateur. I. I meant it more as like, he doesn't run a restaurant for a living. He. But at the same time, he does food for a living.
Big Cat
Isn't it Fair to say if he didn't work here, he probably would run a restaurant.
Dave
Actually, you know what? That is fair. Yeah. Okay, so I take it back. He's not a. I wouldn't know semi
Titus
work in a restaurant. He wouldn't run it, surely, at one point.
Dave
I bet he would.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
Would it be a successful restaurant?
Dave
I think so, Mark.
Big Cat
Yeah, we're asking Mark.
Titus
You think it would be Dave?
Dave
I don't know what kind of business acumen he has, but I mean, look at it. He can cook food well.
Titus
Yeah,
Big Cat
but you beat him in the banana bread off.
Brandon
And actually you have a new one out with him today, right?
Dave
I do.
Brandon
Everybody go watch another competition. And you guys made meatloaf. Is that one of your other.
Big Cat
Oh, I judged that one.
Kate
I got to try it too.
Brandon
No spoil. It's out, right?
Dave
It is out. It came out yesterday.
Brandon
Oh, how'd you do?
Dave
I lost. However, everyone was like, it's actually. It's like my grandma used to.
Big Cat
It was two really good meatloafs. Yeah, I'll say. You may.
Dave
One was the best I've ever had, which was Donnie's, obviously. And mine was just a standard.
Big Cat
Yours was a solid meatloaf. Yeah, but Donnie's was fucking amazing.
Dave
It was the best meatloaf I've ever, ever had. I don't think I'll have a better one.
Big Cat
And that's the thing. Too many people on the show belittle Chef Donnie and just make it their entire mission to make it. Make him look stupid and all that. And sure, he skis all the time. He's on vacation all the time. Yes, he's a rich kid. Never had to work for anything in his life. Sure, that motherfucker can cook. Yeah, that motherfucker can cook.
Brandon
When he's in his element, he excels. When he's out of his elements, what's the exact opposite of excels?
Dave
D cells incel. He incels on the right track.
Brandon
Yeah. Well, Dave, thank you, my friend.
Big Cat
We're getting rid of Dave already now
Dave
we can keep this up or something. Yeah, we're. We haven't really hashed out this. I haven't heard Steven yet.
Big Cat
That's what I'm saying, because Steven's here. He has a mic too. And it's been all one sided so far. Steven, please.
Mark
Sure. So my argument was just that dinosaurs being obsessed with them at our current ages. Dave, 38, I'm 40. Is that there's no real upside beyond a couple minutes of entertainment. Jurassic park is fiction and dinosaurs haven't been relevant really for millions of years. If you're going to be obsessed with dinosaurs at our current age, your upside is maybe a museum tour guide.
Dave
Why.
Titus
Let me.
Big Cat
Let me stop you there, Dave. Did you listen to his argument when he presented, or did you immediately go into defense mode and get mad?
Dave
A little bit of both.
Big Cat
Not a little bit of both, though, right?
Dave
No, it was a little bit of both. Like, I don't understand why he's. Why an obsession has to lead way to a career. And that was his largest.
Brandon
I think he was saying, like, it's pretty cool when you could be obsessed with something. And then there are the perks of it becoming your career.
Dave
And my counterpoint to that is if your hobby becomes your career, it's no longer your hobby. It's your career. And I like to have hobbies where I just sit and let my brain melt.
Brandon
Your hobby became your career.
Dave
Yeah, it did.
Brandon
Do you regret that?
Dave
And. No, I don't regret it. I love barstool sports, obviously, the white side. And that's. I don't even think that's a hobby. That. That. That was an actual. That is a real obsession in part of me not to. Not like.
Brandon
So the argument was obsession, not what we're.
Dave
Well, what. What. I'm not gonna ever be obsessed with either of those two things, but if I were gun to head. Head to choose one, it would definitely be dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are cooler.
Brandon
That's all you have to say, and then you win the argument. Dinosaurs are cooler.
Big Cat
Dinosaurs are extinct.
Titus
Trains aren't dinosaurs.
Dave
Me there.
Titus
If dinosaurs are so cool, why are they dead?
Brandon
Whoa.
Dave
Evolution, man.
Brandon
A lot of the coolest things.
Big Cat
I don't think that's the correct answer.
Dave
No, it was a meteor, partially. That didn't kill off. That didn't kill off every dinosaur. A lot of them, they say, turned into birds. Evolved into birds. TJ Looked that up. I know that's not a crazy. It's not my theory. That's just a theory.
Brandon
Chickens are T. Rexes.
Dave
Yeah.
Kate
I think it was the birds who survived.
Dave
I think they also evolved into them. I don't know.
Kate
Okay.
Dave
I'm not a paleontologist.
Titus
Let's.
Kate
Oh, evolving.
Chef Donnie
Look at that.
Brandon
During the meso.
Dave
Yeah, take back that little shit eye roll you gave me.
Big Cat
I cannot. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Dave
Not really.
Big Cat
You're just kind of. You're doing the paddle ball as much as you can, and you're still the. The ball still paddling, but you have no idea how to actually do It.
Dave
That's not true. I just proved myself correct right there.
Big Cat
Not really, though.
Dave
You gave me an eye roll when I said, aren't birds like modern.
Big Cat
No, I gave you the eye roll when you said. When I said dinosaurs are extinct and you says, yeah, evolution.
Dave
Well, they're. They don't. They don't exist.
Brandon
They are extinct.
Dave
They are extinct. Yes. Right, but there is a tract of evolution from certain dinosaurs where.
Big Cat
But I.
Brandon
Right, but the dinosaurs are dead.
Big Cat
Dinosaurs did not evolve into being extinct.
Dave
No.
Big Cat
Right. That's what you said.
Dave
That's what you heard me say is getting correct.
Big Cat
Yeah, that is what I heard you say.
Dave
That's not. That's. You heard the context incorrectly though.
Danny
You.
Dave
I meant that there. There was a meter that probably wiped out 99.9% dinosaurs.
Big Cat
Right?
Dave
Correct.
Big Cat
Sure. Yeah.
Dave
The survivors. Because there were some. Obviously life didn't.
Big Cat
Yeah. I just need, you know, evolution didn't kill the dinosaurs.
Dave
No, that's not what I.
Brandon
Let's get trying to female juice. Kate.
Dave
Yeah. Kate, can you help us?
Big Cat
Can we have your juice?
Dave
Danny, can you help us out?
Brandon
Oh, that's one way to.
Titus
Oh.
Brandon
Oh, Dave, we finally turned the corner and don't like Danny.
Dave
Oh, good.
Brandon
You. Why didn't you warn us?
Dave
I let you guys figure it out on your own.
Eddie
The old Dave is coming back, so. And I kind of like that.
Big Cat
I have noticed that a little bit more in clips. You're seeming to dip more into old days.
Eddie
It's been hard to hate you.
Big Cat
You're being a lot dumber.
Eddie
You've been a mature man.
Dave
How am I being dumber?
Big Cat
No, whatever Danny said mature.
Titus
It's hard.
Eddie
It's hard to hate you because you're. You're trying more mature. I respect it.
Dave
You.
Brandon
You stop being a slob.
Big Cat
The beard's good.
Dave
Yeah, the beard is good.
Brandon
You still come in musty every once in a while. I think you forget to take your clothes out of the washer.
Dave
Yeah, I just have a shitty washer.
Brandon
Okay.
Dave
Yeah.
Kate
Really?
Brandon
You're actually musty sometimes.
Dave
I'll. I'll notice it when I'm in here. It'll.
Titus
I'll.
Dave
It'll be a load of laundry that
Brandon
like sat in the wash. You know, Donnie Darko, they.
Big Cat
Wait a second.
Kate
Other people have noticed.
Brandon
You know, in Donnie Darker. Like there's that path where you could see people went. I could find DAV anywhere in the office some days. And who knows?
Dave
I was bad the other day after Chinese workout.
Big Cat
Would a shitty washer make your clothes musty? Or. That's just me dry.
Dave
I have no the shitty. If you. I have a front load washer.
Big Cat
Right, okay.
Dave
So water will stay in the base of.
Brandon
You keep your clothes in the washer when it's done for too long.
Dave
I think that's has nothing to do
Big Cat
with the quality of the wash.
Eddie
It'll do.
Big Cat
I used to when the washer gets done, you.
Brandon
You put it in the dryer and sometimes it.
Dave
Brandon, Brandon, Brandon, Brandon, Brandon. You're just wrong right here.
Big Cat
I'm. I'm not.
Dave
I promise you you're wrong.
Big Cat
The only way your clothes are going to get musty in a washer of inequality is if they stay in there too long.
Dave
That's exactly what I'm even after.
Eddie
So it's not a bad washer.
Titus
It's not the washer. It's you not you're the bad washer.
Big Cat
You said it's a shitty washer.
Dave
My washer, no matter what right now stinks.
Danny
I guess if you're wash. Yeah, you're washing.
Brandon
If you have a stinky washer, that's not a good wash.
Dave
Hold on.
Eddie
Are you the one?
Brandon
They're clean, but they re. Oh, I put my clothes in the stinker on accident.
Kate
I got a front load stinker.
Brandon
Why does it look just like the wash?
Titus
Front load stinker.
Dave
Good luck.
Danny
He's got a stinker.
Brandon
Oh, I meant to clean my clothes. I made them stink.
Dave
Technically clean. They just don't smell great. They've been washed.
Brandon
But what makes things stink?
Dave
Bacteria. Getting there.
Danny
Oh, you guys, they do wash.
Dave
I have
Brandon
clean as well.
Danny
Oh, my clothes are wet.
Titus
And take a big whiff and it stinks. You're like, ma, that's perfect.
Brandon
At least they're clean.
Big Cat
They're clean.
Titus
Oh, smells like perfect.
Eddie
Go on, Dave.
Dave
I'm. I'm not. I'm not.
Brandon
Does your significant other. It's no secret you have a significant other.
Dave
Yeah.
Brandon
Does she ever bring up the must?
Dave
Constantly.
Big Cat
Yeah, right.
Brandon
Do you not. Do you care if you're musty?
Dave
You don't notice it right off the rip sometimes. What? But you notice what I was trying to explain. I have a. I think I would assume it's the washer dryer unit that was originally built into the house. So it was built in 2005. 20. Call it 20 years. The when I close the washer. What the is so funny.
Danny
I can bend that knee. Yeah.
Brandon
All right.
Dave
Whenever. When I wash clothes and take them out and put them in the dryer, there's still water that sits in the basin of the front Load washer that if I close the washer door by habit, it'll stink up the entire thing. Okay, okay.
Brandon
But what I'm telling you is if you took them out immediately when the wash was done and put them in a dryer, I don't think it would have that musty smell.
Big Cat
Just have a water stink.
Eddie
So then what's the point of saying everything you just said if you still just leave your clothes in there for too long and they, they get the mildew smell like you're trying to blame it on the washer, but you're also saying you leave your clothes in there.
Dave
Yeah, no, it's, it's. It's a two part problem. The washer.
Eddie
We're saying it's not.
Dave
I, I have fully admitted to leaving the clothes in the washer.
Eddie
That's for too long.
Dave
Yes. That's what makes.
Brandon
But if everybody knows. Hold on, hold on.
Chef Donnie
I'm not done yet.
Dave
That everybody knows makes a clothes smell bad, right? Correct? Yes. Okay. Now since I have a front load washer, meaning I open the door from the side, not the top. Do you understand? Do you understand the physics behind this? Water will stay in the washer sometimes and if I close the door it and it can't evaporate out then it'll stink up the whole washer for like weeks and I have to get like tablets and bleach and extra shit to clean it out.
Brandon
But to answer this.
Dave
Yes.
Brandon
If you got a brand new washer, a top load.
Dave
A top load, I would not have near the issue.
Brandon
Not if you left them in the washer for too long. They would still stay exactly the same, right?
Dave
Probably, yes. However, this washer also has a perma odor because it's so old and so shitty.
Brandon
But. Okay, answer me this. If you. When it you heard it ding, it's done. You took them out and put them in the dryer, they wouldn't stink.
Dave
Not. No.
Eddie
You're good, right?
Dave
Yeah.
Big Cat
I don't know Your, your, your money situation. So don't. But washers aren't.
Dave
I know.
Big Cat
I expensive.
Dave
I. I'm.
Big Cat
Compared to what they are.
Dave
I'm doing other. I got a roof to pay for too now, right? I.
Big Cat
That $400 we can probably get us a low end.
Dave
I. I've doing it. If I'm doing it, I'm doing it right. I'm spending a few grand not doing it. That it's on the to do.
Big Cat
I don't think it's gonna take a few grand to get a nice washer.
Dave
I'VE already talked to Maggie and sells about it because her husband works with a company that sells washers and dryers. And if I want a decent one, It'll be about $3,500.
Big Cat
No chance.
Dave
Yes, it will.
Big Cat
Chance one. A decent one.
Dave
Washer and dryer. Yes, a washer, dryer combo. Because that's what fits in my house.
Big Cat
$1,500.
Kate
But, Dave, you're comfortable walking around stinking? Do you need.
Brandon
I know that's 33.
Big Cat
$500.
Brandon
Yeah, like you're.
Dave
That's what I was quoted.
Brandon
Like I would say I. Once a week. You smell pretty bad.
Big Cat
That's way too much.
Dave
That's way too much. Yeah, I mean, I'm.
Eddie
I'm walking a mile to the laundromat before walking in.
Titus
You don't notice it when you put it on?
Dave
No. And once a week is a gross embellishment. Come on.
Brandon
What do you think it is? No, he's fine today. I sat next.
Big Cat
No, that smells very good.
Brandon
He smells good today. I sat down today. But there are some days, and I don't think I'm the first person to say this, that you.
Dave
You are actually the very first person I ever said.
Eddie
You leave a trail.
Brandon
Eddie says it.
Dave
I've never heard. Eddie.
Brandon
Is Eddie here?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
Eddie.
Titus
Thank you. So when you wash the clothes, you leave them in the washer too long. They're musty. As you're taking them to the dryer, you can't smell the musk. No, you never smell the most. You. You don't smell it until you wear it to work.
Dave
Leave them in for, like. If you leave them in for, like, multiple days in a row, you would.
Titus
Yeah, but. So you don't notice anything until, like, you smell.
Kate
Unlocks it.
Dave
The heat definitely unlocks it.
Kate
Yeah.
Titus
So when you pull them out of the dryer, do you smell the must? When do you smell the must on your clothes? When, Nick. Usually.
Dave
I swear to God, it's usually when I'm in the office. I'll be like, oh, this shirt's.
Titus
At that point, there's nothing.
Brandon
What was the word you're going to say?
Dave
Stinks.
Brandon
Okay.
Dave
But I don't like for. I don't think I've ever been, like, holy.
Brandon
Have you ever noticed it?
Big Cat
Danny?
Brandon
Yeah. Has chief ever noticed it?
Dave
Yeah, I don't think he's ever.
Eddie
Eddie's coming down.
Mark
Do you use dryer sheets or anything?
Dave
I'm fresh out of them right now. On the to do list, I was gonna. I swear that one's on the mental. It was on that one's in the Met because I was doing laund yesterday and I'm like, I'm out of dryer sheets. I need to order them right now.
Brandon
Did you take your clothes out of the washer in time that time?
Dave
I did, yeah.
Brandon
Okay.
Dave
I. And when I say on time, it's got to be like, the buzzer's got a ding. If I don't. If the buzz doesn't ding, there's nothing
Titus
else we could do but buy a $3,500 washer.
Brandon
Ed, you know what we're talking about? Add you.
Rick
We talking about Dave having the mildew.
Chef Donnie
Yeah.
Brandon
You call it the mil D. You
Big Cat
know, that's what I mean.
Danny
That's the affliction.
Big Cat
That's a thing.
Danny
The mildew.
Brandon
He said nobody's ever brought it up.
Eddie
He said. Yeah, he said, have you ever. Was the first time anyone's ever brought up.
Brandon
But, like, you weren't offended when I was. I thought if that was the first time you heard it and somebody told me I had an odor every once. Well, I think I would have been, like, offended. But you didn't seem surprised at all. Yeah.
Big Cat
You weren't taking it back even a little bit.
Dave
I don't give a. Yeah. I don't care.
Eddie
I don't want to label it smelly guy. There was a time where, like, you're.
Big Cat
We knew.
Chef Donnie
Yes.
Eddie
Your clothes, that smell.
Dave
Yes, I know. And there's been times when I've been in this office, too, and it's because of the exact situation we're talking about right now.
Big Cat
Yeah. And your front loading washing machine.
Brandon
You've noticed the must every once in a while.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Rick
You got a case of the mildews once.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Rick
Yeah.
Brandon
And what's. It's.
Big Cat
It's.
Brandon
The smell is familiar, though. It's when you leave your clothes accidentally.
Dave
Yeah.
Rick
It's not like a. Like a foul.
Dave
It's not body clothes or.
Rick
Correct.
Big Cat
Right.
Brandon
It's not your body at all. It's everything surrounding the clothes you choose to put on.
Rick
You used to have it a lot worse, I think.
Dave
So that's why I don't know if it's a machine. Swear to God, I have scrubbed the out of this thing multiple times. It's got a rubber rim around it. You should have seen it when I cleaned it the first time. It was a horror site.
Titus
Yeah. With like, mold and so it's clean now.
Dave
It's as clean as I can get it.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dave
Until I get a new washer and dryer.
Rick
I'm curious how it looks.
Dave
You probably seen it before when it's pulled up.
Chef Donnie
Oh.
Dave
It's like a quarter inch of water at the bottom maybe.
Brandon
I think most washers have.
Titus
I don't really understand the. You said the physics of the. Does water not go to the bottom of a top loader?
Dave
It drains through the bottom.
Titus
So you don't have a drain in your washer.
Dave
I don't know why it pulls up like that.
Big Cat
No.
Titus
Wouldn't it? Right.
Big Cat
It's.
Brandon
Am I crazy? Do you have a top loader?
Titus
I have a top loader.
Brandon
Then sit back.
Dave
If you've had a front loader. You know what I'm dealing with.
Mark
I have a front loader.
Dave
Do you? How old is it?
Mark
Two years.
Dave
Okay. So it's newer.
Eddie
It's called 20.
Danny
Let's call it one.
Big Cat
Yeah. 20 year old washer and dryer is pretty old.
Dave
I don't know that it's that old. I would assume it's that old. It was there since I bought the place.
Brandon
When did you buy the place?
Dave
Four years ago. Almost to the day. It was April 1, 2022.
Big Cat
Has it been a problem for four years?
Dave
Yeah.
Danny
But it works perfectly. Otherwise.
Dave
It works perfectly.
Danny
Not too loud?
Dave
Nope.
Brandon
But your. And your clothes come out clean. Clean.
Chef Donnie
They just.
Dave
Exactly. They're just here and there smell. You'll have just an odor.
Big Cat
This is almost.
Danny
That's very clean here and there.
Big Cat
Means when you leave them in too long.
Dave
Yeah. But the washer itself has a perma odor.
Brandon
But don't you.
Big Cat
Because you keep leaving the clothes in too long.
Brandon
Don't you think having an odor on them makes them close?
Dave
A front loading washer when there's no clothes in it because it traps the humidity and in. And then it gets all moldy and mildewy and stinky. You can do that if you close the top loading dryer. It doesn't do that.
Danny
My clean. It just has a perma odor.
Rick
If you played the blame game. How much is on the washer versus how much is on not taking it out on time?
Dave
It's like 50. 50.
Big Cat
No.
Titus
Why would you shut the lid on the front loader? How is it any different than a top loader? I still don't understand that.
Dave
Get a front loader and I have a front loader.
Big Cat
I. I don't have any issues with my front loader.
Titus
Like you say, when you shut the lid on a front loader it locks everything in. Would it not do the exact same thing on a top loader?
Dave
No. Because everything comes out the bottom.
Titus
But what but don't they all
Kate
gravity brother.
Dave
I know when you. I don't. When you shut the door on my dryer stinks it up in.
Big Cat
The only difference is where the hole is. That's the only difference. The rest of the every, every washer
Titus
drains to the bottom.
Dave
Yeah.
Titus
And would it shutting the lid on a top loader? If whatever locking in properties of shutting the lid. Wouldn't that apply to the top loader like it would lock in all the mold and mildew and everything?
Big Cat
I don't know. Then why do you say it only happens because you have a front loader?
Dave
It just makes sense in my head. I don't know. I, I, it's because you have a
Rick
washer with a bad drain.
Big Cat
No, because he leaves his clothes in there too long.
Brandon
That would happen with a pristine brand new washer. Top loader even.
Dave
Yeah.
Eddie
You're saying you blame half of it on the fact that you have this washer problem. But then you're also admitting it wouldn't be a problem at all if you took your clothes out.
Dave
That's not what I said.
Brandon
Yes it is.
Dave
I, it's what you said earlier. From the day that I have owned this house, it has been a stinky washer.
Big Cat
You've been going on four years of stinky washer.
Dave
I've had a lot of other. I've had to take care of first in four years. Yeah, yeah.
Eddie
He had. He had rats getting in his car.
Dave
But like that's true.
Brandon
Not, not.
Dave
They chewed up my electrical.
Big Cat
Rats got into your car.
Brandon
I had.
Eddie
We go to his house. There's rat traps everywhere.
Big Cat
Everywhere.
Eddie
Outside in the alley.
Dave
That's not true. We had a guy come put.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I mean. Okay. So what I said.
Titus
What?
Big Cat
What did you just say?
Brandon
What did you. Hey dude, do you hear yourself?
Titus
He said you have rat traps. You said that's not true. We had a guy. That's exactly what he said.
Big Cat
He.
Dave
But he implied that there's constantly rat traps. All we. We had the guy come over for a video to put the rat traps in. There's not like there was always rat traps.
Brandon
He didn't imply that there's always rat traps.
Eddie
He said there's rat traps in the alleys. He said that's not true. We had a guy put rat traps in the.
Dave
I heard. I heard there's rat traps everywhere. And the reason there's rat traps there is cuz that Fasoli looking kid that we did the video with. Were you. I don't Know if you were in that video.
Brandon
Is the video up? Can we see the facility looking? Kid, please be fair to Dave.
Rick
I know what he's talking about.
Dave
Yes.
Eddie
Yeah, but to be fair to me, I wasn't lying at all.
Rick
Yeah, but I think what the you saying that the consistent presence of rat traps may not be accurate.
Eddie
I just said there was rat traps,
Big Cat
that there are rat traps. He said that's not true. We had a guy come put rat traps in.
Titus
That's exactly what happened.
Dave
But there's rat traps in because somebody
Titus
put them in rat traps.
Eddie
I was referring to you said there's a lot of other things you had to take care of first. And I would say including the time there was other rat traps every.
Brandon
But like you're content the past four years just stinking every once in a
Dave
while at the office. I don't give a yet what do I.
Brandon
But you wear clothes elsewhere.
Dave
Here, here, here.
Eddie
What do I care at the office more with people you see every day as opposed to like going out to a dinner with people never see again.
Dave
Could not care a flying less.
Eddie
But I'm saying if you don't care at the office, then you don't care anywhere.
Dave
I would. First of all, if I'm out in public, it's gonna be. It'll be a nicer shirt that like was not going through that wash typically. And how was the nicer shirts?
Brandon
I.
Titus
Where do you wash the nicer shirts?
Dave
Dry cleaner.
Brandon
You go to a dry cleaner?
Dave
I don't. Yeah, I got. I gotta pick up fucking shit for Donnie today. Actually from Istanbul. I have a shipment of dry clean clothes that I have to pick up. Some of which are Donny's that I had to wear of his from when we were in Istanbul a couple weeks back.
Rick
Yeah, we investigated his whole house one time, this whole apartment.
Kate
To find the smell?
Rick
No, just like everything.
Chef Donnie
Like.
Rick
I think the most shocking thing I found was that you're a window open guy without a screen. Like you just leave it like open.
Brandon
Like on the to do list.
Big Cat
I don't mind that.
Dave
On my. On the Juliet balcony.
Rick
In the back. No, in the back. There was no screen when I went to pick.
Dave
I got that window replaced.
Brandon
Ed, you're getting all the angles, man.
Rick
This was a dream, dude. What I want a pov.
Big Cat
He also stepped through his tub.
Rick
He had to take care of that first.
Dave
That was the first thing I had to do.
Brandon
What did you do?
Big Cat
Did you have a men's room label on your.
Brandon
You and him.
Dave
That was
Rick
can of tuna.
Dave
Lovely he loves tuna.
Rick
He got you some bacon.
Dave
Can never have too much bacon.
Eddie
We couldn't find a pumpkin like your old place, so we got you Korean melon instead.
Brandon
That's better.
Eddie
Dave had a pumpkin, though. You're always like.
Rick
Is this where the, like, different video.
Dave
I don't think that's the one.
Rick
Yeah, it's a different video.
Brandon
You, your foot went through your tub.
Dave
Yeah, it was, it was an issue. Yeah.
Kate
How does a foot go?
Danny
What does that mean?
Dave
That's a great question. I was taking a shower and the, the original builder, builders built a place like through shit.
Kate
Okay.
Dave
And they put the tub on. There was two by fours on both ends of it and nothing supporting in the middle. So from the 20 years or so
Brandon
it worked for 20 years, but then
Dave
that literally the week I moved in, my foot literally goes through the, the bottom of the tub.
Rick
It looked painful.
Danny
Final Fantasy.
Eddie
So your foot was dangling in like someone's ceiling.
Danny
There was like Final Destination.
Dave
It was like this much into like 6 inches maybe until the plywood that separates our units. Yeah.
Rick
You sent a picture.
Big Cat
Yeah, I would love to see that.
Rick
When did you move in?
Dave
I think it was April 1, 2022. So almost four years.
Rick
So there had to be like within
Brandon
the April got you with the prank tub.
Big Cat
April 1st.
Dave
Yeah.
Danny
Moved in on April 1st.
Brandon
They paper mached your tub fell through the tub.
Dave
It was instant insurance claim that I still had to pay a ton of money for to redo my whole bathroom.
Eddie
Jesus.
Dave
Yeah, it was, it was bad.
Brandon
Is this, does this house give you fits?
Dave
All the fits. Wait until you own a house. Oh, the blinds everywhere.
Rick
It's everyone even talking about the blinds. Guy from Lowe's.
Dave
That guy. I want to kill that guy.
Brandon
Yeah, I, I sold you blinds. Or he couldn't see.
Dave
He sold me blinds. And he struggled with the entire process it up, the measurements, everything. Yeah. Had to send him back multiple times. It was a pain in the ass.
Brandon
God damn, man. I'm sorry. No wonder you're so on edge all the time.
Dave
Home ownership's a.
Big Cat
You keep saying that. I, I own a house, but my clothes don't stink.
Dave
Right, but it's not going through your bathtub.
Big Cat
What's not going through my bathtub? I don't have rat traps everywhere.
Dave
Like city.
Eddie
A guy put him there.
Big Cat
Brandon, there's. Okay. Anyway, I, I, I don't think it's just home ownership.
Dave
You're going to have rat traps around.
Big Cat
Fair, fair. Fine, fine, fine. But like, if a washing machine is broken or stinks when I Get there, it's not going to stink four years later.
Dave
It stinks 5% of the time, but
Eddie
you're close to 100.
Dave
They don't smell 100. Brandon just smelled it. So he smells great.
Titus
So then it's very obviously not the washer. Not every single time.
Dave
Because I have to scrub it out every week with all the special.
Titus
How could it be the washer if every time you do it it's not like, doesn't make any sense.
Big Cat
Okay, you can't just blame.
Titus
You can't blame the washer. It's not the washer. You can't not the washer.
Big Cat
You can't blanket blame homeownership. A lot of homeowners out there that don't have these issues, Ed.
Brandon
What percentage.
Dave
No.
Brandon
How often does the mildews. Would you say it used to be more.
Eddie
It used to be that damn Supreme Lobster shirt. Like you saw that you head for the hills.
Big Cat
You had a stinky shirt that
Brandon
it was a stinky shirt and he wore it a lot.
Dave
I have many of those shirts, for the record.
Big Cat
Sticky shirts.
Dave
Many of the exact Supreme Lobsters.
Brandon
It was the Chicago flag, but there
Big Cat
was a lobster instead of the stars. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Oh, sticky shirt.
Dave
Make fun of me for wearing that shirt too much.
Eddie
Which I, I, I can't wear it anymore. We all got one. But it's. I might as well be wearing a Day Williams jersey.
Dave
I have, I have. Yeah, true.
Danny
Yeah.
Dave
I have met multiple of that exact shirt. You also have a couple of shirts that you wear constantly that I've noticed. One of them being the Malort's hoodie.
Eddie
Oh, I don't wear that at all.
Dave
You wear that all the time. I've noticed. Which is fine.
Eddie
I'm on the show every day. Please dig and show a compilation of how many times I wore a Black War hoodie.
Dave
There's another one that I've noticed cuz you've made fun of me for. I'm like Danny.
Eddie
Yeah, but they don't smell.
Dave
Sorry.
Danny
A big caveat.
Titus
David.
Brandon
Dave, do you agree, do you, do you concede some ground that your Supreme Lobster T shirt was the stinky one?
Dave
Yeah, it's all. That one stinks to high heavens. It's also a workout shirt of mine. So it'll be like completely soaked in sweat on top of the mildew. Yeah, I haven't worn that shirt. When's the last time you seen me wear it?
Eddie
No, yeah, I think we called you out. We haven't seen it since.
Dave
Yeah, it partially. You haven't seen it since. Partially because it smells of you calling me out for it and partially because.
Big Cat
Right.
Eddie
You gotta hang it up sometimes.
Dave
Yeah.
Brandon
Kate, I get this is your exact type of guy. I completely get it.
Big Cat
I.
Kate
But I want to fix this.
Dave
You want to come do my laundry? All the.
Danny
All you.
Dave
I'll give you my keys at any
Eddie
point, though, where you're like, maybe I should focus on the stinky washer before I hit up the blinds guy.
Brandon
Yeah. Why? Your personal hygiene wasn't like, blinds trumped hygiene.
Dave
Yeah, but like I said, I don't
Kate
want anyone to see how much.
Dave
I think this isn't personal hygiene per se.
Big Cat
That is the clothes that you wear on your body.
Brandon
But like that.
Dave
I shower multiple times.
Brandon
What do you think makes an odor?
Dave
That's a good question.
Brandon
Bacteria Science.
Dave
What does make an odor?
Brandon
I think it's bacteria.
Dave
I think that's one of one way to cause an odor. Yeah.
Big Cat
You said you shower multiple times a day.
Dave
I work out.
Big Cat
Okay. Did you.
Dave
Not to cry?
Big Cat
Did you. Did you fix your tub or do you, like, stand?
Dave
I had to fix that instantly. That was the instant insurance claim.
Big Cat
Yeah. Okay. All right. This is.
Titus
Wow. What an adventure.
Brandon
I need a series of you fixing up your place.
Dave
I would love to do that, but I'm so bad with anything. Tools.
Brandon
Oh, you guys gotta watch. So good.
Dave
Well, whatever. I also live there, and I'm trying to resell the place.
Eddie
Whatever happened to them?
Dave
I don't want to pass crap. That wasn't my idea.
Brandon
Illegal. Shut that down, Sam.
Eddie
Well, they don't have to be involved in this.
Brandon
But if it's. If it's your own place, Jerry could do it.
Dave
That's. I did pitch that. I pitched it to Jerry. I'm like, jerry, I want to redo my other bathroom.
Brandon
What's the matter with your other bathroom?
Dave
I just want to update it. That one's fine.
Brandon
Get a. Get a washer then.
Dave
Yeah, that's on the to do list. It's all. I gotta. I gotta sand my floors. I have to buy a washer dryer unit, and I have to redo the second bedroom or bathroom.
Brandon
All of this before odor.
Dave
I just. I just added that. That was on the list. I said I sand floors.
Big Cat
We prioritize it. Yeah. What do you think Stinky shirts should go to?
Dave
Number one? I think. I think that the sanding floors are probably next because then I'd have to get the washer dryer out.
Big Cat
True.
Dave
To sand the floors and then put them back in. So if I sand the floors then I can just go and get the washer dryer. Let's also just got quoted on the floor sanding.
Big Cat
Let's focus on getting a better deal for the washer dryer. 3500 we're getting taken for a ride there.
Dave
Okay.
Big Cat
So just that I like that you're
Dave
looking out for me.
Titus
Yeah.
Dave
Brandon. Yeah.
Titus
You can get a non stinker for way less.
Big Cat
Right?
Kate
Yeah.
Brandon
What if it's a great looking washer but it stinks.
Dave
I also have to, you have to take this into account. I have to get a combo. I have to have a standup combo.
Big Cat
That's fine. That's. They're, they're, they're plentiful.
Dave
Yeah.
Big Cat
There's, there's a lot out there and
Brandon
we're poking fun at you a little bit. No, I know but, no but I'm saying I think you're going to wind up getting a damn good deal on a washer out of this.
Big Cat
Yeah. You'd also.
Dave
If you want to slide into my DMs with a washer dryer combo. I'll, I'll.
Big Cat
You don't need a top of the line washer either. We just need something that can throw water over clothes. Then we dry the clothes. Have some soap in there and, and that's fine. We don't have to get fancy. We're not buying a Cadillac. Cadillac here.
Titus
What about one of those ones that will wash it and dry it. You don't have to move it at all.
Dave
That's in consideration as well.
Titus
Cuz that seems to be a problem that you have.
Brandon
I heard those break though a lot.
Dave
Something to take into consideration.
Big Cat
Something to take into consider.
Titus
A lot to consider.
Big Cat
But I guess the ultimate thing here is if you let the clothes stay in too long so often it not going to matter what you buy. We got to change maybe the washer
Dave
dryer combo or which is why you want combo is the way to go.
Big Cat
But maybe we change our habits a little bit.
Dave
Yeah, I could do that too.
Big Cat
All right. Dave. Dave.
Titus
Yeah.
Danny
So this has been a blitzkrieg.
Brandon
Yeah.
Ad Host
No.
Brandon
You walked into this and you hands a hornet.
Dave
It was, it was supposed to be
Big Cat
me versus Steven and we never even settled there. No.
Brandon
And but you were backed into a corner and you defended your points and yeah. Stink away.
Dave
Yeah. No, I, I, I have noticed musk the mildew a time or two.
Brandon
But the thing is maybe more.
Big Cat
That's not a good sentence to say out loud, Dave. Yeah, you get that right. If you notice it once he's Self
Eddie
aware of being smelly. That's.
Brandon
And like. Yeah. I don't even think. But at that point I think you notice like there are some days where you've. You've made me flinch.
Eddie
I don't.
Brandon
I don't know how you guys have. Maybe because our studio's next year.
Dave
You walk past and this is something I haven't mentioned yet. And I need you guys to like follow along right here. You know how some people like you have shittier eyes than others? Like, I have pretty good eyes. My sense of smell stinks, so I. I swear to God it stinks my hearing.
Danny
Like your nose still.
Dave
Yes, my hearing.
Brandon
Oh. It's not my clothes, it's my nose.
Dave
You got. You promised. You said you were going to follow along with me. My hearing and my nose stink compared to my eyes. My eyes are awesome.
Big Cat
40 of your senses are. Are bad.
Dave
They're not as good as.
Brandon
They're not like, how's your feel, your touch?
Dave
I think that one's okay.
Big Cat
It tastes well.
Dave
Yeah.
Big Cat
Okay.
Dave
Not as well because of all the years of dipping, but. Yes. That.
Kate
Isn't smell a huge part of taste. You could be tasting better probably if you got. Probably checked out.
Dave
Yeah.
Big Cat
So smell, hearing and hearing. Okay.
Eddie
You said he tasted well.
Brandon
Has your smell always been bad? Damn.
Dave
It's like. It's. I. I feel like it's not the normal threshold.
Brandon
Well, like college you did. You stink all the time.
Dave
Maybe. Well.
Eddie
Oh, that was like that guy in the red shirt.
Brandon
Oh yeah.
Eddie
Leaned up against the tree that he.
Brandon
You might have. Well, pen from Peanut.
Dave
The pants I was wearing were pissed on the night before. By you, not by me. I've never. I have never one time.
Big Cat
Who pissed my pants?
Brandon
The pants you're wearing.
Big Cat
Time out. Time out.
Brandon
Were pissed on.
Big Cat
The pants you were wearing one day were pissed on by somebody else the night before.
Eddie
You pull up that picture?
Dave
Yeah.
Brandon
That is. That is the stinkiest person that's ever existed.
Kate
Wait, how did someone else piss on your pants?
Dave
They were in a laundry basket that got pissed on by my buddy. I can't say his name because he's a doctor now and he yelled at me the last time I did this, but.
Big Cat
And you just took him out of the laundry basket, put them on.
Dave
Yeah, that's exactly what I did. That.
Brandon
You smell like piss in that photo.
Dave
I'm sure I smelled like a lot of things.
Kate
Were they wet? You just put them on?
Dave
No, they weren't.
Eddie
Say Italian beef at 9am they reeked sausage.
Big Cat
My bad.
Dave
They had to have that I don't.
Brandon
So you've never cared about smelling?
Dave
No, I care about it.
Brandon
But you said, you said you don't give a flying.
Big Cat
You did say that about going to work smelling.
Dave
Because I the. It's never been so bad. Like he describes it. He flinches. I have smelled it.
Brandon
You agree that some days it's flinch inducing?
Dave
Yeah. For the sake of.
Brandon
No. No. You've never. No.
Eddie
Well, I think this is the thing with Dave. I think a month from now we're gonna have a different conversation. You're gonna be bragging about how good your sense of smell is and then we're going to resort back to this conversation.
Dave
We won't. Because I've said that. I've said multiple times. I'm like Dewey Cox, I can't smell things.
Brandon
Well, that's like a classic reference.
Dave
Yeah, it, it should be more classic because that's an all time great comedy that doesn't get near the shine it deserves.
Eddie
Do, do miss that Dave that we just saw on there. It's good Dave. You miss that old Dave in the red shirt and the red backwards hat eating the Italian sauce that was in the morning.
Dave
20 year old Dave.
Brandon
That's a 20 year old.
Dave
That's Benjamin. That's at the Mifflin Street.
Brandon
That's a prime of his life.
Eddie
But is any part. You've seen Trek, right?
Dave
Two. Yeah, I think so.
Eddie
Like how he turns into a handsome fellow but then he like he just wants to go back to being an ogre. Do you ever see that guy and you're like, I need.
Brandon
I was back then.
Eddie
Carefree days.
Dave
Really.
Eddie
Damn. He's in there somewhere.
Dave
That was when I was drinking 3500 beers a night and I don't like that.
Eddie
3500. It's the number of the day.
Dave
There's a lot.
Eddie
Much the washer costs.
Brandon
There's nothing about that time of your life that you miss?
Dave
Not particularly.
Brandon
That's good then.
Dave
Everything that I took with it is everything that I wanted to take with it.
Titus
Are you in a good spot with your life right now?
Dave
I think so. I think like are you just had a kid, right?
Titus
Yeah. Midlife crisis. Big time.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dave
Yeah.
Titus
I would say like, I'm like.
Dave
Are you 40?
Titus
Really? No. Well, that's, that's what I mean.
Eddie
It's.
Titus
It's right around the corner, right?
Dave
Yeah. I, I'm staring down that barrel as well.
Brandon
And you're 39 and it's a few weeks.
Dave
No, 38 in October.
Brandon
Okay.
Big Cat
Okay. Yeah.
Titus
I just guessed I love the kid, but I'm ready to leave it all behind.
Dave
Yeah. Yeah.
Titus
One of those deals.
Chef Donnie
Okay.
Dave
I like the dink life personally, but
Brandon
double income, no kids.
Dave
Yeah, that's more my style right now.
Brandon
You're not married.
Dave
I know, but you're a sink. Sink. Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah.
Dave
Legally sink.
Titus
Sink.
Dave
Yeah.
Big Cat
Huh.
Kate
You like the. You have dual income, no kids, and you stay nail dues.
Dave
Yeah.
Brandon
Wait, you're living the dink life. No, you're not. You have a stinky washer.
Big Cat
I like stink.
Dave
I, I. You have the keys in my apartment if you want them.
Big Cat
Okay.
Eddie
Oh.
Brandon
What the.
Dave
I just said,
Brandon
yeah, Kate, that's a good offer. Go do his laundry. What does cake get in return?
Dave
Oh, I thought you're going to get ice cream.
Brandon
What does Kate get in return if she does her laundry?
Eddie
She knows what she offers.
Kate
Yeah, I was, I bought a house that the people fixed up themselves without knowing what they were doing. And it, like, I guess everything just barely passed inspection or so. Like, everything passed, but then, like a month after we moved in, everything started
Dave
falling apart to a T. And it's
Kate
been a very expensive nightmare, but to
Dave
a T. What happened to me?
Brandon
You don't stink, though.
Kate
No, we don't stink, but we also have a very old washer dryer that, like, I should just get a new one, but I haven't done it yet. But I don't stink.
Big Cat
But you would argue that taking your clothes out on time makes a big difference with the washer and dryer that you have. The old.
Kate
I would say if, if one person here came up to me was like, hey, you kind of stink. Next day, I have a new washer dryer. But that's just. I'm not a guy, but I think that would.
Big Cat
It's only been four years.
Brandon
What has your, what has your girlfriend said about the stink?
Dave
She hates it.
Kate
Yeah, she, I bet there's nothing that
Brandon
she likes about it. Yeah, she hates what. So, like, you'll go over, you'll go over to place. Will she, like, immediately?
Dave
She doesn't have a. She doesn't have a washer dryer at her place.
Brandon
But I'm just giving a hypothetical.
Dave
What was. I'm sorry.
Brandon
You go over to her place and you, you have like your, your must. Yeah, she Will she immediately say something?
Dave
Yeah, she'll yell at me.
Brandon
What does she say?
Dave
Your washer dryer sucks. Like, go. Stop leaving your. In too long. Like, hey.
Big Cat
Yeah. So why.
Eddie
No, I know.
Big Cat
You keep making that a compound sentence.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
Right.
Big Cat
Because you keep leaving your Stuff in.
Dave
I think it's 20 years of people leaving in too long where it has a perma odor. But at the same time, I also. The problem.
Big Cat
I would say you're the majority of the problem.
Mark
Wait a second, wait a second. Wait.
Big Cat
There you go. Chad, get in.
Brandon
There we go.
Dave
I forgot he was your.
Mark
Your girlfriend does not have a washer dryer. So. So does she use yours out of
Dave
like desperation for like hoodies? And you will, right? Not for like good clothes.
Big Cat
There's a follow up question here.
Mark
Go do her clothes then stink.
Big Cat
Which smell them. Then no. Then the answer.
Brandon
If you've never smelled them, then no.
Big Cat
Right. So now we're getting back to operator.
Dave
Go ahead, Brandon. I know.
Brandon
Not one of the 5%.
Big Cat
She's a magician.
Brandon
It's not one of the 5%.
Titus
The washer just decides 5% of the time. This will be the time slot machine. Yeah.
Brandon
Dave, would you sign off on this next.
Dave
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Brandon
Okay, we'll just be quiet. I guess you can keep talking, but
Dave
don't ask me a question because I'm also.
Big Cat
Where does she.
Mark
Where does she take her other laundry? She's only doing hoodies at your place.
Dave
She's not.
Brandon
Yeah, she comes over the bag of hoodies. You're my favorite guy on earth.
Big Cat
Yeah, babe, I got to come over. My hoodies. My hoodies are ripe.
Brandon
Oh, it's hoodie day. Here she comes with these hoodies. Hope it's not one of the 5% where they're going to wreak. Hope you get lucky.
Danny
Dave, Dave, I was. I respect how vulnerable and honest and brave you are. You could have just said no.
Brandon
You would have been back upstairs.
Titus
Yeah, yeah.
Brandon
You know, you are an honest man.
Titus
We appreciate it sometimes.
Brandon
Now can. Will you sign off on this? The next day when you have an odor, may I call you down to the yak?
Dave
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Danny
Okay.
Brandon
And you'll be. You're fine. You'll let.
Dave
Yeah, let everybody give us that.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
Wonderful.
Dave
I am waiting for a text back to see how often her clothes. This is my exact text. How off. How often do your clothes smell bad from my washer?
Danny
As usually says, I am very interested in that.
Dave
Okay.
Brandon
He's always just lumping from. You're trying to blame the washer every time she typing back.
Big Cat
We're just waiting for her to.
Dave
You guys can.
Brandon
You're smiling at your phone just seeing her name. Man, that's beautiful. He loves her.
Big Cat
Well, he texts her a lot more than she texts him. There a Lot of. A lot of Green.
Eddie
Green.
Brandon
Can you not hear when you're looking your phone out?
Dave
No, I can.
Big Cat
Welcome back.
Danny
Let's talk.
Brandon
If you guys were dating somebody that one in every. How many days would you say you stink?
Dave
10.
Brandon
You got mad at me when I said once a week.
Dave
He got mad at you.
Brandon
No, why would he get.
Eddie
You said once a week with him,
Brandon
and then you said you stink. One in every ten days.
Eddie
Direct quote was once a week is an over. Embellishment.
Dave
It's probably an over. I said 10.
Big Cat
I mean, once a week.
Brandon
But no, I said once a week. That's like. Okay.
Eddie
If anything, just an embellishment.
Dave
Not an embellishment. No fair. Danny.
Big Cat
Like, way to go, Danny.
Brandon
She hasn't tried to get you to buy a new washer?
Dave
She tries to get me to buy everything. What are you talking about? Literally everything.
Brandon
Like, what else?
Dave
Lots of stuff.
Eddie
Okay.
Dave
We'll just leave it at that.
Big Cat
Sure. But I fear my only take here is I think we could save money on a new washer if we acknowledge it ain't the goddamn washer and it's the fact that you leave the clothes in too long.
Eddie
This is a user error.
Big Cat
Right.
Titus
Why don't. Dave. Why don't you try that for, like. Try that for, like, a few times?
Eddie
10 days.
Kate
10 days.
Big Cat
Just be waiting for the washer to go off.
Titus
How often do you do your laundry? Every 10 days.
Dave
I have loads going, like, around the clock.
Brandon
Do you have those clothes in your washer?
Big Cat
Right.
Titus
You have them right now?
Brandon
I got loads.
Dave
I switched them out before I came to work today. So they're sitting in the dryer right now.
Eddie
Oh, well, that's not.
Big Cat
Do you start the washer when you go to work?
Dave
Sometimes, yeah.
Big Cat
And you let the clothes stay in there all day?
Dave
Sometimes, Yeah.
Titus
I swear to God.
Eddie
Back to square one.
Titus
Say, why don't you try progress? Why don't you try for, like, two weeks? Every time you do your laundry, you make sure the second the washer goes off, you throw it right in the dryer. And you have dryer sheets.
Brandon
Is there anything?
Titus
And then report back and see what happens.
Brandon
What's your hypothesis?
Dave
I think that my clothes have a perma.
Brandon
No.
Dave
Little tinge to them.
Eddie
I thought you were, like. I thought you were, like, accidentally leaving them in there for 15 minutes. Maybe you were caught up in watching a movie, but if you're putting the clothes in the washer before work, you're inevitably not gonna be able to.
Dave
When I said that. No, Danny. Oh, but, like, I'll put them in at dinner time and I'll forget about them overnight. Sure.
Brandon
But then you don't, but you, but you don't re. Wash them.
Big Cat
So. Hold on.
Dave
It depends. It depends on what they are.
Big Cat
We have two.
Dave
No, no, hold on. If it's, if it's just like a bunch of. Because I, I separate my laundry. Not to brag. I think that's a very adult thing to do.
Big Cat
You shouldn't brag.
Eddie
Still smells.
Brandon
Well, what do you separate?
Dave
I used to reds more how I wear them. So if it's a bunch of undershirts that I'm wearing to like work out and that's still all going to the same thing. Could be white, could be dark, doesn't matter.
Brandon
So what you separate?
Big Cat
That's not separate.
Dave
So those are the shirts that are stinky as. Okay. Those ones.
Eddie
Yeah.
Dave
And if I throw one on and I throw a hoodie on and I'll take the hoodie off at work, that's when I'll notice it. Because the hoodie, the hoodie through the hoodie. Yeah, those are the bat like the supreme lobster shirt.
Big Cat
So it sounds like we have two options. We have option one, you put them when you go to work, you put a load in and they sit there all day. Or option two, you do it at night when you get home and sometimes you leave them overnight in the washer.
Dave
Yeah.
Big Cat
Do you see where we've got room for improvement here?
Dave
Yes, yes. Total.
Chef Donnie
Total room for improvement.
Dave
You get home at work, go have
Big Cat
dinner and you come back and you take them out.
Dave
Yeah. I haven't said there is no room for improvement on my end.
Kate
Well, what you guys are forgetting is it's a front loader.
Dave
The front load. It's a shitbox front loader. That's like gross in the inside.
Big Cat
I won't dispute that there are front loading issues that front loaders have. I think your main issue is not washer related. It's. It's Dave related.
Brandon
If you heed Mark's advice and you follow this 10 day challenge of taking out your clothes when the washer's done, what are your chances? You think of stinking?
Dave
Can I ask a different question? Can I phrase it differently?
Big Cat
Yes, I guess. Yeah.
Dave
I think my chances of you guys noticing this stink would be slim to none, so. But there's like I, if I put my nose up to it. No, said you can't smell. I, I can smell. I said I have a less than perfect sense of smell. But us obviously smell things.
Big Cat
Us noticing the stink is is the presence of stink.
Dave
Uh huh.
Big Cat
So he asked you what's the chances they stink? And you said us noticing it goes down.
Dave
If I took them out instantly when the buzzer went off and put them in the dryer and dried them.
Brandon
Yes.
Dave
You guys would notice it would be significantly lower.
Big Cat
So that would be.
Danny
That would be.
Dave
But they would still had. Typically they would still have a little bit of tinge there.
Titus
Okay.
Brandon
So your clothes are forever ruined until you get a new watch.
Titus
All right.
Big Cat
I just want to again tell you I smelled that. It smells like clean. It smells like it has been properly.
Eddie
We have to smell the undershirt now, I think.
Brandon
But did you throw that in your girlfriend's hoodie pile? Probably. Okay.
Dave
Yeah.
Big Cat
Oh God, it's hoodie day. It's Thursday. Oh, here come the hoodies.
Brandon
Lugging over the biggest bag of hoodies.
Eddie
I. I sent the supreme Lobster shirt for reference.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
Is there like a lot of pods we could just click on randomly and Are you wearing the supreme lobster shirt?
Dave
All of them. But come on, Danny, back me up.
Big Cat
How?
Dave
I have multiple Supreme Lobster shirts. Because we. We've one.
Brandon
It's a cool shirt.
Kate
All of them.
Eddie
So like if you're doing podcasts day after day wearing that same shirt, people aren't going to be like, oh, he probably has a lot of them. It's probably. Yeah, I know it's on. You feel like people are going to think this. Even though I have like three of the same shirt, maybe I should not take from the top of the pile.
Dave
What do I care?
Big Cat
What?
Dave
What?
Eddie
That was just the first one I could find.
Dave
Tom Brady Fan 42069 says on the Internet, Dave, you wear your shirt too much.
Big Cat
Sure, sure.
Eddie
But I. It was. It's more because that.
Brandon
But like, do you want your public Persona because you are. You're public facing. Do you want your public Persona to be like a. Like a slight odor guy that wears the same shirt?
Dave
I haven't worn that.
Eddie
Like how cartoon characters are just wearing the same thing every day. We kind of became one of those.
Brandon
Sure. Like people.
Eddie
Griffin.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dave
But he would. Green pants.
Big Cat
He's the one cartoon character that doesn't.
Brandon
He wears the green pants and the white button up.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
So are there a lot of. Like if we scroll through your Instagram, are you wearing that shirt in a lot of posts?
Dave
Not recent ones. Because Danny made fun of me.
Eddie
So it didn't work.
Brandon
You said if somebody comments, you don't care, but it worked.
Dave
Yeah, it did.
Brandon
Okay.
Dave
I was lying.
Brandon
Okay.
Eddie
You were just A walking billboard for Supreme Lobster.
Brandon
I think we made some progress.
Danny
We did.
Brandon
Do you want to not stink or do you.
Dave
Do you. Oh, I don't want to sink.
Titus
Okay, so are you gonna change anything?
Dave
There's not gonna be a single thing. We all know that, Mark. Yeah, we all know that.
Titus
Yeah. We're just gonna wait to get the. The new washer and dryer. It's on the to do list. But you got to sand the floor.
Danny
Sand the floor. And then the perma odor.
Dave
Then I gotta get the Juliet balcony. The Juliet balcony, sliding glass door. That's. That's on there as well.
Titus
And the rack.
Big Cat
None of those seem as important as stinking.
Dave
The rats are an HOA issue, not necessarily a personal.
Eddie
How is the rat problem? Is it fine now?
Dave
I haven't had an. I haven't had to take my car to whatever.
Eddie
The rats are eating through the car.
Dave
Basically.
Titus
Rats eating through the car.
Dave
That. Are you. No, I'm serious.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dave
Didn't happen.
Big Cat
It did happen.
Dave
It did happen. Yeah, well, you're acting like I was making it up or something.
Eddie
No, I'm saying like it was. It was a big enough problem to.
Big Cat
Where?
Brandon
Why would you ever lie about that?
Dave
Well, he. He was looking around the room like insinuating. It seemed like he was just at Mark.
Eddie
Cuz I was telling you.
Brandon
Telling him why old Dave's coming back.
Eddie
Got to get the rat traps.
Brandon
Real paranoid, Dave. Did you know. Did you hear any rats in your car when you were driving or is it just at night?
Dave
They nested there over winter and just chewed through the electrical.
Eddie
They said this smells like a place where we can nest up.
Brandon
Yeah, it's a good spot.
Eddie
I just want to see a rat nest with a supreme lobster shirt in it.
Big Cat
All right, Dave, how. How you feeling about this one hour barragement.
Brandon
You handled it really well.
Big Cat
Barrage.
Danny
And we cherry picked just one household appliance like your other. You have some.
Dave
Oh, no. The rest of them.
Danny
The brand new kitchen, microwave.
Dave
Beautiful chef's kitchen.
Brandon
You have a good fridge.
Dave
Oh, awesome fridge.
Brandon
State of the art microwaves range all.
Dave
I bought them as a package. They're all. They all match. They're all.
Danny
Your hot pockets smell like beaver prostate. But they taste like croc monso.
Dave
Come on.
Big Cat
What do you eat?
Dave
Not that.
Big Cat
Do you eat? Great.
Kate
Dave's a sneaky foodie and he like grows his own food and stuff, right?
Danny
He has a garden. Yeah, let's talk about your garden. That's mature.
Big Cat
That's very.
Dave
I. I did have a lot of seedlings. Pop up over the weekend.
Brandon
Congrats.
Big Cat
I would have got warm. They came right to the surface, huh?
Brandon
Are they in danger?
Dave
Being incubated, so to speak. Air quote in my. You put them in my office right now? Yeah.
Big Cat
Heat lamp. All right.
Dave
I got beets, I got all lettuce, a shard kale, carrots, onions, garlic.
Big Cat
You grow your own kale?
Dave
Oh, yeah. Cow's super easy. Because if you have one, you can just keep growing it.
Brandon
Wow.
Big Cat
That makes sense.
Eddie
Yeah.
Brandon
All right, so it sounds like you have other aspects of your life really in order. Yeah, I would say just that one thing. All the other senses. Very pleasing. You look good.
Dave
Like I would say. Okay.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
What are you not content with?
Big Cat
You look way better than you did.
Danny
Yeah.
Titus
You keep a tidy house, Dave.
Dave
I'm a neat freak.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
So I guess.
Big Cat
No, you're not.
Brandon
Danny Long blinked.
Big Cat
No. No, you're not. All the time, you're not a neat freak.
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah.
Big Cat
You can't be a neat freak if you're. If your clothes smell like toilet 14% of the time,
Dave
my house is completely and totally spotless.
Titus
Huh.
Big Cat
But this.
Eddie
This is what made us go into Dave's house with cameras on our heads.
Titus
So what was it?
Kate
Spotless?
Eddie
I think it was pretty neat.
Big Cat
Yeah. Well, do you see the. The juxtaposition?
Dave
No, I. I do. I do.
Titus
It is fascinating, Dave, because, like, if,
Dave
you know, I wired to keep your
Titus
life in order like that, you would assume that, like. Yeah, because the rest of us find this to be baffling. Like, if our wash.
Dave
I. I.
Titus
This problem, we would fix it immediately.
Eddie
Compartmentalization.
Dave
I understand that. Yeah, yeah, I understand that totally.
Brandon
And the thing is, like, whenever you have any other issue, you're really quick to jump on it. Like, you love having state of the art new. Like, did you get in trouble for your surround sound one time?
Big Cat
Okay.
Dave
But it was. I was headed on a million.
Brandon
What were you watching?
Danny
That was an option.
Dave
It was a nice one. It was opening day.
Eddie
It was Top Gun.
Brandon
You were listening to baseball real loud.
Dave
No, it was opening day, and I had a bunch of friends.
Brandon
Baseball.
Dave
And I was blasting whatever music we were blasting, okay?
Eddie
Oh, I thought it was Top Gun.
Dave
Not that I got a knock on the door for. No, no. I'm respectful of my neighbors.
Eddie
Except when your foot is through their ceiling.
Dave
It wasn't through their ceiling. Thank God. I sprinted down to their unit, basically in my Underoos, to let them know that there might be a mountain of water in their bathroom.
Danny
Now, do you want to Deflect and call other people out for being.
Brandon
Yeah. Is there anything because like you handle this with such, with such class, dignity. Is there anything.
Dave
That's actually why I was originally down here. I have noticed I. Stephen Shea is a dirty car guy.
Brandon
Whoa.
Big Cat
Oh, wow. Wow.
Titus
Oh, like that.
Dave
I'm just joking.
Big Cat
Wow. Stephen Chase got called out.
Dave
No. Steven. Steven's got kids, so it's allowed. Lance had a dirty car.
Big Cat
Lance has a dirty car.
Dave
Lance had a dirty car the other day.
Big Cat
Wow, you're really throwing around accusations. How about Danny? What's talk about his car?
Dave
Do you still have that Sentra?
Eddie
Yeah.
Dave
How's she doing?
Eddie
2006, we'll call 20 years.
Kate
Do you guys keep a trash can in your car?
Eddie
You gotta.
Big Cat
Or at least we don't keep a toilet in our car, if that's what you're asking.
Kate
I keep like an actual little trash can. I change the liner out every time I get gas.
Eddie
I just keep.
Kate
Keeps things tidy. Keeps it neat.
Danny
I think not having a car has improved my quality of life tenfold.
Kate
Oh yeah.
Dave
I touch mine like every three weeks now.
Big Cat
You, you uber to work?
Dave
I walk.
Big Cat
You walk to work.
Dave
I walk.
Danny
Or uber. I mean, which isn't financially that responsible, but like the cost of parking is maintenance, gas.
Dave
I was to my old job, I was ubering to and from every single day. And after doing the math, getting a shitty fifteen thousand dollar car was cheaper than ubering to and from.
Kate
Really?
Dave
Yeah.
Big Cat
I don't think ubering every day is cheaper than having a car.
Dave
That's what I just said.
Big Cat
I was talking to her.
Kate
I'm saying if you're not ubering every day, if you're living in the city or whatever.
Big Cat
I don't know, I, I, I could, I don't live in a city, obviously. I live comically far away, but I don't know that I could ever get myself used to not having, not having the option to get away from here in seconds.
Dave
Yeah, like I'll never not have one either. Even in the city.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Danny
I don't know. I feel ironically more free and independent and able to travel.
Big Cat
Really? Because you don't have to worry about where your car is.
Dave
I also have a carport, so that definitely helps. In the city?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Danny
They're driving in a big city.
Titus
Sucks.
Big Cat
It does.
Danny
It's like trying to play football in a basement.
Dave
I filled up my gas like three weeks ago and I don't think I've touched a car one time since.
Danny
But constantly stopping.
Big Cat
The interior of Chicago is a hell of A lot more drivable. Like the interior.
Kate
It's easy to park here. It's easy to drive here. This is.
Big Cat
It's built to drive around New York City.
Dave
I would not have a car.
Big Cat
No, it's. It's awful. I gotta. We got five ads. I gotta catch up a little bit, so are you. What? Why don't you just do the gauntlet for us today? We gotta have a gun. Well, shortly after the. After I do a couple of ads. Is that all right?
Brandon
Yeah.
Big Cat
Okay. You just go ahead and get up, I guess. Yeah, just go ahead and get up. You're fine. First, I'll tell you about State Farm. In basketball, the great players don't just go it alone. They have teammates, coaches, and a solid support system behind them. It's kind of like insurance. But let's face it, a lot of us probably aren't great at doing that alone either. That's where State Farm comes in. State Farms, a teammate always ready to assist. Help you find the coverage you need. Help you recover from the unexpected. From fender benders to storm damage, or even just a question about your policy. State Farm is there to help provide an assist when you need it.

State Farm with the assist. Coverage options are selected by the customer. Availability and eligibility vary by state, State Farm or the assist Chef Donnie, text
Brandon
me said I'll be in. 20 year old dickheads.
Big Cat
What did we do to him?
Brandon
There's the clip of you saying that he has never worked a day in his life.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, I guess I did say that, but I was just saying that for like, effect.
Brandon
I understand.
Big Cat
Yeah, I understand. Plus, you know, he's never like worked a day in his life.
Brandon
Oh, come on. Yeah, everything he has is sponsored by something huge.
Big Cat
Yeah, you're right. You're right. God.
Brandon
But don't tell him I said that.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Titus
Wait.
Brandon
Sox Dave's one of my favorite people here.
Kate
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Kate
He's fascinating.
Big Cat
Oh, that's going to be the day of tweaked the day up.
Kate
Yes.
Big Cat
Breaking news, a deal has been struck. Rico Bosco and I will be streaming Michigan Bama Friday night at the New York City office. The Pick Central crew is invited. If Bama wins, Rico gets a 10 year deal with his salary doubled. If Michigan wins, a men of honor podcast with Jeff Nadu. A weekly pod running through football and college hoop season. Club Option to extend it a year. Hashtag men of honor, hashtag Nadu, hashtag Bosco, hashtag Michigan, hashtag pump party, hashtag it's all on the line.
Danny
Wow.
Brandon
You said it best from yesterday with
Big Cat
my once in a lifetime wager with Dave Portnoy.
Brandon
You read the terms here. Friday night we're going to be in
Big Cat
the terror dome in the gambling cave,
Brandon
streaming in New York.
Big Cat
Me versus Dave. Alabama.
Brandon
Michigan.
Big Cat
If Alabama wins, 10 year deal, double the salary.
Mark
Unbelievable opportunity.
Big Cat
Michigan wins.
Brandon
I got to do a podcast with an absolute clown.
Big Cat
My arch nemesis, he who shall not be named. From football season to the end of March, once a week. If it goes good from there, he can extend it. Whatever it is what it is. But it's all on the line. The biggest game I've ever watched, the biggest stream I've ever done. It's all on the line. Roll Tide. All right, let me stop you guys there. This is the stakes are again. If Rico's team win, he gets his salary doubled and he gets a 10 year contract.
Brandon
And if his team loses, he has
Big Cat
to sit for an hour a week with a person he arbitrarily hates for no reason.
Brandon
But that will be very generate and he can demand more. I said this on Wake Up Barcelona this morning.
Dave
Yes.
Brandon
This is a win win for him. Yeah, I don't think he thinks of it that way.
Dave
No, he definitely does not.
Kate
What are the odds that Alabama could win?
Big Cat
Michigan's a heavy favorite. Okay, probably an 8 to 10 point favorite. I haven't looked today.
Kate
But it is possible.
Big Cat
It's possible. Alabama's got a shooter's chance in every game. Alabama is like a very high scoring team that doesn't play defense, but those teams have a lot of upset potential. And the ironic thing is the game is, is at the United Center. It's, it's, you know, five minutes away from this office. They're going to be streaming in New York City. But yeah, so there you go. The set you.
Brandon
I think you said it. He's going to end up paying Nadu more for this show.
Titus
Right.
Big Cat
So that's the, that's, that's the ironic part. So Rico is, is it has a chance to win double his salary for 10 years or. Yes, Dave had many options.
Brandon
That's the one he picked Titus.
Big Cat
I'm sorry, that's just the one. That's what he wanted. Or Rico has to do a podcast and Dave is. Dave will absolutely end up paying Nadu probably the double Rico a dollar more. I'm gonna say he's gonna whatever Rico salary is. He's gonna double it for him to do.
Titus
The office is buzzing, by the way.
Big Cat
About that.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
Chef Donnie text, and he said, I'm coming in in 20 year olds.
Titus
He said what?
Brandon
Sorry, I said you're all dickheads.

Yeah.
Big Cat
No, no, I don't.
Brandon
I don't.
Big Cat
Don't listen to that. We will look at you for ever.
Brandon
Hey, who are you rooting for in this? Who are you rooting for? Michigan or Bama?
Chef Donnie
I don't know.
Eddie
Okay.
Big Cat
That's why he's the best in the business.

How are you?
Big Cat
What? You've gotten a lot better looking up at.
Dave
Why are you looking at my horse's name?
Big Cat
Names. Who's that?
Dave
Smoking Jane Shards are two horses.
Big Cat
What? Where?
Dave
Chief. Chief and I own a couple horses. Those are the two names.
Brandon
Where did you see that?
Dave
It was an autofill.
Danny
On the.
Big Cat
What?
Dave
I swear to God. It said Smoking Jane Shards right there.
Brandon
Did it, tj?
Titus
Where?
Big Cat
Where? Here?
Dave
Yeah, right there.
Danny
Those are your horses?
Brandon
That just happens in the autofill. It just happens to be your two holes.
Dave
That is. That's super weird.
Eddie
Did they ever run the Gauntlet?
Big Cat
You have a horse named Shards?
Kate
Have we ever talked about this?
Dave
Yeah, a few times.
Kate
Oh.
Eddie
When did your horse run the Gauntlet?
Brandon
I don't know why it would pop into that one.
Dave
But not Charge is actually really good.
Big Cat
Just my name.
Dave
Both of those horses were really good.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dave
I mean, graded stakes.
Big Cat
Did he. Interesting. I'll be goddamn.
Danny
What?
Brandon
What? What percentage of the horse do you own?
Dave
About five. A little under.
Brandon
Okay.
Dave
Four, seven, eight or something.
Big Cat
All right.
Dave
I'm out of breath from you.
Big Cat
You are Dave. Yeah.
Dave
All right. I'll see you guys.
Big Cat
Appreciate it.
Dave
Thank you.
Danny
Good performance.
Titus
You're the man.
Eddie
You got everything.
Big Cat
What a special, special little guy.
Eddie
What are you missing?
Big Cat
Oh, you probably put it out there.
Brandon
You sat in like Sharon here. You mean you sat in that chair? In that chair as well.
Big Cat
You've been here an hour. Okay.
Eddie
Colder, colder, cold.
Kate
Okay.
Big Cat
Do you know where it is?
Eddie
Do you have it, Danny?
Big Cat
No, she's just leaving.
Brandon
With all the influx of new characters that we've gotten, it's.
Danny
You forget.
Brandon
You forget.
Danny
Well, we had. And have.
Big Cat
Yeah. Some of our old school characters remain our best. And he.
Brandon
There's nobody. That tickles me more.
Titus
That was a master class of digging the heels in.
Big Cat
That's right.
Titus
I was. It was so good.
Brandon
Yeah. But he didn't give up an inch.
Big Cat
Yeah, he. He forms opinions based on nothing and will die with them.
Danny
He evaded every single point of humiliation that he should have.
Eddie
Yeah.
Danny
Been victimized by. In a way, he won that.
Titus
And if he doesn't care about how his clothes smell, then why wouldn't it just be very easy to just be like, yeah, I fucking forget to throw it in the dryer sometimes. Also, if you say, like, it's my fault, I don't throw it in the dryer.
Big Cat
But if you're blaming. If you do choose to blame the dryer and which is. He has done. He's. He's blaming the dryer. Correct. The washer or the washer? Yeah, blaming the washer.
Kate
Front loader.
Big Cat
But if you had a washer that you chose to blame for something, how long would you have that washer?
Titus
Less than a week.
Big Cat
Less than a week. He's been blaming the washer for four years.
Titus
Yes.
Brandon
I grossly exaggerated by saying once a week. He said once every 10 days.
Titus
It's not fair to say we're the same.
Big Cat
That was an over embellishment. Not just an embellishment.
Brandon
My favorite part was like, let's say it's.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
It's got it in 20, 25, let's say 20 years old.
Kate
Getting mad at Danny for thinking Danny was saying he was lying about how many rats he's got.
Dave
Yeah.
Kate
But it was also crazy.
Eddie
I didn't put them there. Someone else put them there. Well, the point remains. You had rat traps.
Kate
Fascinating, man.
Eddie
The real show. The real show is
Brandon
if you saw
Big Cat
that one Run for the Hills.
Eddie
The real show is like two weeks from now when he'll be like, I never blamed it on the washers.
Brandon
Oh, yeah, Find it. Find the tape.
Dave
There's nothing.
Eddie
Okay. I. I misspoke.
Brandon
It's always I misspoke.
Big Cat
He will say, find the tape on something that's absolutely on tape.
Brandon
Oh, yeah, he did it.
Titus
He did it immediately. But Danny said, you have rat traps everywhere. And he's like, no, I don't. The dude came out and put in rat traps. We were like, you just the what? And he's like, I never said that. And that all happened in about 10 seconds.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
Titus, I know you're both white males, but I genuinely think that's your exact opposite, Dave.
Titus
I don't. I don't actually interact with Dave that much. This was a. This was a joy. This was a treat. We both kind of have our own corners of the office. And I forget. You said it perfectly, Brandon, that I forget about him.
Big Cat
Yeah. We're also, like, on opposite Corn. Like.
Titus
Yeah.
Big Cat
He's way over there. We don't. We don't cross paths a lot.
Titus
Yeah.
Big Cat
But boy, when we do.
Brandon
One of these days when he stinks, I'll get him down to you.
Titus
Yeah.
Big Cat
Just running here. I got Stinky Dave today.
Brandon
Yeah.
Eddie
It's like. Sorry, go on to.
Brandon
It's Hot Tub Time Machine. A bit of his that I don't know about.
Big Cat
Oh.
Brandon
I had to look up tub to find the picture of his foot through a tub, and he's tweeted Hot Tub time machine, like, 30 times.
Eddie
That rings a bell.
Brandon
Is that John Cusack thing?
Titus
He's just tweeted Hot Tub.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Brandon
It's about watching Hot Tub Time Machine. This is like Eddie Lacey China Food.
Titus
Oh, this is a machine.
Eddie

Brandon
Have Time Machine kind of night.
Chef Donnie

Brandon
That's a lot.
Titus
Who's tall? Maurice. He watched it, then immediately was like,
Danny
maurice, I need a tall man's opinion.
Eddie
That's Mo, who used to work, but, yeah.
Big Cat
Wow.
Eddie
That's pre John Cusack. So he wasn't even mentioning it for that.
Brandon
A lot of hot subsets. The one in asterisks
Danny
once every 10 days thing happened.
Big Cat
20, 21.
Titus
Yeah. Does he tweet about it?
Brandon
He watch Much as he stinks.
Danny
There's maybe there's a correlation.
Brandon
He's watching Hot Tub Time Machine. Distract us and take it out of the wash.
Titus
I got to see how this ends.
Brandon
P.S. love hot tub Time Machine. Oh, whoa, man.
Titus
Don't even think about loves it.
Brandon
That was when Cusack happened.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah.
Danny
Absolutely hilarious to talk about the masterpiece that is Hot Tub Time Machine. Absolutely hilarious.
Brandon
He really loves Hot Tub Time Machine.
Danny
It weren't.
Titus
If it weren't for Hot Tub Time Machine, it'd be the Most no name actors in the history of no name actors.
Eddie
Yeah, the Cusack thing happened ever.
Titus
Oh, wait. Oh, but then.
Danny
And I love them.
Titus
But then does he go back? It's October 11, 2021.
Danny
Stung it up when he was in

Big Cat
It is game postponed.
Brandon
Oh, he's right back to it.
Danny
He's addicted.
Brandon
Wait, it was the same day a month later.
Danny
November 21st. A little break. Two months.
Dave
Yeah, he's.
Brandon
He's been off the tub for a little.
Titus
That was 20. So that was the last one.
Brandon
The top 14 to 22. Let's say 10 years of just tweeting.
Titus
But wait, hold on. When did he get his house?
Big Cat
Four years ago.
Titus
Oh my God.
Big Cat
April 1, 2020.
Titus
He was right. So then the second he bought his house, he got off of hot tub time machine.
Eddie
He was in that tub trying to make a time machine. That's why his foot went through it.
Brandon
He swore off tubs. He swore up all tubs. That's why he stinks.
Dave
Come on.
Big Cat
Gotta work somewhere.
Brandon
This a new house. No more tubs. Oh my God.
Big Cat
I gotta reach.
Brandon
What a find.
Big Cat

He takes one vacation to ski. That's it.
Big Cat
Well, he's. He went to France to ski, right? Yeah. Then he also. Didn't he have a ski in another one?
Titus
Yes, he did. That's right.
Big Cat
Yeah, he had another one.
Titus
He had that other one.
Big Cat
Yeah, but that's just, you know, he can talk about that. What do we got on the. The old prep sheet, Steve? Ah, you did take the tour. The I'm not doing the tour and bore thing again.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah.
Big Cat
But 51% of the people that voted on the.
Brandon
Y' all who posts an article about Don Gorski doesn't cite the yak.
Big Cat
Oh, boy, did they pull.
Danny
Was it.
Brandon
Were we related in any way to that?
Big Cat
Did they use quotes from our interview?
Mark
I skimmed it, and I feel like they should have quoted the act based on some of the findings.
Big Cat
But Don Gorski has his own book and has been in the Big Mac content game for years. Right?
Mark
Yeah. There were recent quotes because it was about the Big Arch and. Oh.
Big Cat
Oh, he doesn't like it. This was. We did talk to him before he tried the Big Arch. Yes, I think the Big Mac is better. Oh, that's scathing.
Danny
Wow.
Big Cat
That is scathing from him.
Brandon
That's as probably brutal as it can
Big Cat
get during our brief interview Sunday on his landline telephone. Okay, so he doesn't. Doesn't like the wow for people that are younger. Quite the article here.
Brandon
Okay.
Danny
The Big Mac.
Titus
A younger him probably would have liked it, but we'll never know. Damn. 25,746 Big Macs.
Big Cat
I do love them. I do love the fact this man still has a landline phone. I. I bought my house three years ago and the. There was still a landline phone in the basement. It's not plugged up to anything, but I do let it just stay on the wall. I enjoy looking at it.
Brandon
You don't need the real estate.
Big Cat
No, it's. It's tucked away. It's right by a door frame that I wouldn't be able to.
Kate
Well, he is keeping it as an antique.
Brandon
Yeah. Right.
Big Cat
So it is a built in antique.
Brandon
But if you saw a cooler, if you saw a Ken Griffey Jr. Phone.
Big Cat
If I saw a Sports Illustrated football phone.
Danny
Oh yeah, football one.
Big Cat
I would replace it.
Danny
Oh, you had the transparent one where you could see all the wires and you call your girlfriend and twirl the cord.
Big Cat
Kyle. I did have that.
Brandon
Did you have the extraordinary.
Big Cat
The red and white.
Danny
That era was fantastic.
Brandon
We stopped making clear tech.
Big Cat
We did.
Danny
Was amazing. Computer rollers.
Big Cat
You're right.
Brandon
If you buy prison stuff, stuff made for prisons, all their stuff has to be clear. It looks great.
Big Cat
It's like the bags you have to have to go into Wrigley Field or something.
Brandon
Yeah, right.
Big Cat
To a sports game.
Brandon
Did you have the extender cord so you could go.
Big Cat
I did have a long cord. I did. I think I at one point I had a. Like a 50 foot cord or something like that.
Brandon
Damn.
Big Cat
And my room was you know, 10 by 12, so I had no reason to use it whatsoever.
Brandon
Status symbol.
Big Cat
But yeah, there was. I also had a phone. It was a regular phone, but you could program in numbers. So your friend could be speed dial. Speed dial too, I guess. Speed dial.
Kate
Yeah.
Big Cat
But that was like in 91 where that was cool technology. And I thought I was the best motherfucker in the world.
Kate
We had a rotary phone till I was in like middle school.
Big Cat
We had one till I was probably
Brandon
swirl it around 11 on Wake up barstool today. Eddie called his cell phone his camera phone, which really dated Boomer. That's so. Oh yeah.
Danny
That's worse than cell phone.
Big Cat
Yeah, I think I still say so.
Titus
I still.
Brandon
I do too.
Danny
There's a certain age where people still say cell phone.
Big Cat
I don't think. I definitely don't say camera phone. Although when camera phones came out, I was working at Radio Shack and I thought it was the Coolest fucking thing.
Brandon
Oh yeah.
Big Cat
That's ever happened. And the cameras on the first Sprint phones were so fucking bad.
Danny
They couldn't have been worse.
Big Cat
It was one of our. One of our things to sell them was when a customer would walk in, we were supposed to take a picture. Take a picture of them when they came in and then show it to them on the phone. And they're walking in the door.
Brandon
Blurry.
Big Cat
Every single one of them was blurry. So we're like, look how cool this is.
Brandon
Your job was to take pictures of people as they walked in the door.
Big Cat
That was one of the ways you sold the early phones. You were like, damn, you know, this is you.
Brandon
By the way, did you ever have a Game Boy camera?
Big Cat
I didn't have.
Brandon
I did, yeah. That was dog shit.
Big Cat
I was never a big Game Boy guy.
Brandon
What?
Big Cat
Yeah, I was never a big Game Boy guy at all. I don't know why, but it never hit me.
Kate
I had an ipod that could take pictures and video.
Brandon
Oh really?
Kate
And you could like play it real grainily on the ipod.
Big Cat
My first ipod was a knockoff ipod from a brand like, you know, just a cheap but even cheaper than that. And my father in law got it for me and I loved that thing till the day it died.
Brandon
How many songs did it hold?
Big Cat
Probably like not a couple hundred. Yeah, yeah, wasn't that many. I had the entire Scrub soundtrack on it and I would just cut.
Brandon
Damn good soundtrack.
Big Cat
Yeah, it was a damn good soundtrack. That and Jay Z's Black album. That's pretty much all I had on it.
Titus
You think you'll reach a point where you never want the new phone, Brandon, that like. Like the camera. How much better can the camera get? Yeah, camera get too good.
Mark
Can the wants to go back now.
Danny
Well, I'm worried about.
Titus
And like I'll be. What. What update can they. Can they continue to make where it's like I have to have that or is it just starting to get.
Big Cat
I don't know, but I. I think they know what they're doing. I think they know how to string us along and keep. I think 10 years they will do something that makes me go, wow, gotta have it. I can't tell you what that is, but like these, this job that we have, sometimes we have to take video and all that. And I do want to have the highest quality camera. Even though my videos now probably look nothing different than my videos 10 years ago.
Brandon
I bet you they sound better.
Big Cat
Okay, they might sound better. Yeah, sure.
Kate
I don't want the best camera.
Danny
It's getting too clear.
Brandon
Yeah, I don't need content.
Kate
See every pore in my face and every.
Big Cat
But I little. I see people buy the new iPhone and then they all have a video where they. They're. They're like the eighth floor and they'll zoom in to somebody getting in a car across the street and you can see everything. And I've never been able to make my camera do that. I can't. I can't get the new iPhone camera to be as clear as other people can get it. So maybe I'm just stupid.
Kate
Yours probably has a little grease on it.
Big Cat
Chicken grease.
Brandon
Little chicken grease. Oh, there we go.
Titus
Oh, yes.
Kate
Look.
Big Cat
His back from. What are you pointing to me for, pole bunny? A clip of what? I didn't trash you big cats out of town.
Chef Donnie
So you got a result of bullying me when I'm not fucked up.
Big Cat
Brandon, I wasn't bullying.
Brandon
It was.
Big Cat
I was only. I was merely given. I was merely giving a recap of what Titus had said earlier about how you grew up in a dinosaur. You never had to work a day in your life.
Chef Donnie
Which is false. I mean, that's just.
Big Cat
We were talking about the Adina documentary.
Titus
Where'd you work? Southdale Center.
Chef Donnie
I worked at the Dinah Grill. The restaurant.
Titus
Oh, yeah. You never go to South Dale.
Chef Donnie
Southdale is the first indoor mall.
Titus
Yeah, I know that.
Brandon
Ever.
Big Cat
Yep.
Brandon
Brandon, maybe an apology first ever in Normal. He worked.
Big Cat
I didn't say that. I was simply recapping what had been said on.
Chef Donnie
What's the documentary? What do we. What are we talking about?
Big Cat
Snapback Sports. Friends of the program have. Have done a video about the most hated team in high school hockey. Yeah, that's Edina and that's a Dinah. And they. They were simp. You know, Minnesota is known as the state of hockey. It's got a great tradition. And everybody fucking hates those rich pricks from a Dinah. That's what the documentary.
Titus
Why do they hate a Dinah so much, Don? Is it because you never had to work for anything, Titus?
Brandon
Is that what the documentary says?
Chef Donnie
Call me illiterate. You can call me dumb. You can call me.
Titus
I'm saying what they.
Chef Donnie
I actually get pissed if you say. If you talk about my work ethic. Because that's the one thing.
Big Cat
It's a documentary that we're talking about the documentary. That's what they say on the documentary.
Titus
That's.
Big Cat
You're getting mad at us.
Titus
Don't get mad at us, Donnie, because guess what?
Chef Donnie
Your kids are. Guess what? Your kids are rich kids. So Nice.
Big Cat
Oh, that.
Chef Donnie
You think they got to choose that? What? Your kids gonna be all rich kid?
Big Cat
Oh, my God.
Chef Donnie
Yeah. Do they have any choice?
Dave
Nope.
Brandon
They got to get out of there.
Danny
Stuck.
Titus
How's the skiing out there today again?
Chef Donnie
I got. You can go on one ski trip, and now it's the whole fucking. That's what.
Titus
You weren't skiing right now?
Chef Donnie
No. Tanya says actually at a meeting because I'm opening another restaurant on the weekends. But someone that doesn't work hard wouldn't know anything about that, would they?
Big Cat
I did defend you there. That you are a restaurant runner.
Dave
Mm. Yeah.
Brandon
White Sox. Dave came at you a little bit.
Big Cat
Yeah. You run restaurants.
Chef Donnie
Fuck.
Big Cat
Well, it seems like you did. Let's. Let's start over. Let's start over.
Chef Donnie
Well, look, look, you just don't. Don't say I don't work her. Because there's plenty of people that don't work hard here. And you don't lump me in with people that don't actually work hard.
Big Cat
You know what?
Chef Donnie
Fucking one thing that pisses me off.
Big Cat
Fair. I bought your book.
Chef Donnie
Great. You want a cookie for that?
Brandon
You want one of the recipes?
Titus
If you want a cookie, go to page 36. Make it yourself.
Big Cat
Is it possible to get you back on even. Even. Just.
Chef Donnie
Just not. Not when I'm getting slander when I'm not even around. No, it's this, you know?
Big Cat
Okay.
Titus
I've been at work. You could have fought back a little bit, you know?
Chef Donnie
Hey, Titus, I'm here now. I don't gotta be around the clock. I don't work for you, dude. I don't work when you want me to be.
Titus
I'm just.
Chef Donnie
I know it's nothing with you.
Big Cat
Okay?
Chef Donnie
So shut the fuck up.
Big Cat
Well, that didn't. It has nothing. Okay. All right. Anyway, the documentary has fans, like, chanting, daddy's money and daddy's money.
Chef Donnie
There's. You know what? You didn't show. You don't choose where you grow up. So I don't know what the you want me to say to that.
Brandon
And there's rough parts of Edina under the bridge.
Big Cat
Just under One bridge?
Chef Donnie
Yeah. 62 Highway 62.
Brandon
Is the bridge.
Chef Donnie
Nice parts of it.
Big Cat
So top parts of the bridge. Top of the bridge is nice as hell.
Brandon
But the line underneath the painted lines.
Big Cat
But isn't underneath every bridge kind of sketchy?
Brandon
Yeah.
Chef Donnie
So every town has bad parts.
Brandon
Are there any bridgeless towns?
Chef Donnie
Ask Kyle.
Big Cat
I'm sure there are bridgeless towns.
Brandon
There's got to be.
Big Cat
Kansas says that would have to be
Brandon
the Nicest town in this. In this. In the country.
Chef Donnie
Yeah. Anything else? I got to catch a flight.
Titus
Yeah. Do you see the latest?
Big Cat
Where are you going?
Chef Donnie
I'm going to outdoor shoot. We're going to python hunting with Sydney.
Brandon
With shit.
Chef Donnie
Gonna go hunt snakes.
Brandon
Sounds like hard work.
Chef Donnie
Well, it's work. Hey, anything we do here hard. You name someone that's doing brat baking work at Marshall's Court.
Big Cat
Nobody's doing Brack baking work. I apologize if you took that the wrong way.
Chef Donnie
I don't know how else could you have taken that?
Big Cat
I apologize. I said you don't work hard. I enjoy your work. I think you're a great.
Brandon
Did you have the documentary on the Mind?
Big Cat
I think you're a great chef. And a great documentary.
Chef Donnie
I don't know about the documentary.
Brandon
I was talking to Brandon.
Big Cat
But Brandon, I did have the documentary.
Kate
Best meatloaf he's ever had.
Big Cat
Best meatloaf I ever had.
Titus
Well, that's like.
Chef Donnie
Yeah, again, I was gonna make the analogy, but I've already made that one. That's not great meatloaf. Sucks to begin with, but you're the
Big Cat
best I've ever had.
Chef Donnie
Right.
Brandon
So, wait, what was your meeting about? The restaurant. Can you give us a sneak peek?
Chef Donnie
Yeah, I'm open. I'm doing another, you know, another pop up.
Brandon
Can I get a. Can I get in this time?
Big Cat
Yeah, none of us got in.
Kate
I went last time because I can't.
Brandon
I tried to get. I made a reservation.
Big Cat
We couldn't get in.
Dave
Yeah.
Titus
Yeah.
Big Cat
And he wouldn't even pull any strings for us.
Titus
I'll be there.
Chef Donnie
You didn't ask. Titus, you're welcome to come, man. I'll take your money. Happily.
Big Cat
You were not gonna put it on the house?
Chef Donnie
God, not for him. For you, maybe.
Brandon
What if he died?
Big Cat
I just apologize again. What can I do? I don't. I'm sorry I took a swipe at your work ethic. You work very hard.
Chef Donnie
I don't need you to apologize for that. I just. Well, I'm not here. You're talking shit. I don't like that.
Brandon
We thought you were here.
Chef Donnie
It's having a year.
Big Cat
We thought we were bringing you in.
Chef Donnie
You both called me. You knew I didn't answer. You knew I wasn't.
Big Cat
I didn't call you. I don't have your number.
Titus
I called you.
Brandon
No, I was experimenting to see if you would pick up for me and not Titus.
Chef Donnie
No, I was in a meeting. I was gonna pick up for anyone.
Big Cat
I thought you weren't here.
Chef Donnie
Yeah, I was in A meeting?
Big Cat
Where's the meeting?
Chef Donnie
In a restaurant at the place I'm trying to open.
Big Cat
What time's your flight?
Chef Donnie
My flight?
Big Cat
Soon. Are you worried about the line?
Chef Donnie
I haven't even thought about it.
Big Cat
You should now.
Chef Donnie
I heard there aren't lines anymore. No, not in Chicago.
Titus
Do you see the latest? And the guys with no legs.
Chef Donnie
That's a guy without arms and leg. That's a nugget. And that we don't.
Brandon
In the cooking community. That's a. That's a nugget.
Big Cat
But you were gonna give your. Your chair, your money to just guys with no legs.
Titus
Guys with no legs. Yeah, but then the second you said that.
Brandon
Does it matter how they lost the legs?
Titus
A guy with no legs.
Big Cat
Tilt somewhere.
Chef Donnie
Yeah, that's a guy with no arms and no legs.
Kate
Do they catch him yet?
Brandon
Can we do it so easily? He's on the lamb.
Chef Donnie
I was. No leg.
Big Cat
You were gonna fund this guy.
Chef Donnie
I was. I'm a strictly no legs charity. No arms. You're out. I'm sorry. Respectfully. Mark was gonna do no arms. Mincy was gonna keep the money.
Big Cat
Oh, boy. But no arms is also. They deserve charity as well.
Chef Donnie
Yeah, that was. That was. His portion was gonna go to them.
Brandon
Your. Your life would change way more if you had no arms.
Chef Donnie
Yeah, I'd rather have no legs.
Big Cat
Yeah, because you could still. We could put you on skis.
Chef Donnie
Yeah. You could do all the fun and not worry about breaking anything.
Brandon
So would it almost be freeing for you?
Chef Donnie
No. I think it would be a huge detriment.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
Having no legs.
Big Cat
What? What? Can I. Can I shake your hand and apologize one more time?
Chef Donnie
It's fine. Okay.
Big Cat
Is it fine?
Chef Donnie
Yeah, we're good.
Big Cat
Because my relationship with you means. I don't give a. About Mark. He just. With you. I like you.
Chef Donnie
Well, we'll see about that.
Brandon
You would know if Brandon did.
Titus
Tables have turned.
Brandon
Brandon wouldn't even say your name.
Chef Donnie
You're on thin ice, too.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Titus
There we go.
Brandon
Understandably, I've earned that position. On thin ice.
Chef Donnie
I mean, you can't, like. Look, a guy goes on one ski trip, and then you like to start the narrative that I said. He.
Brandon
I'm not the one that started. I'm not the one that started Ski boy. I said you hate it, and no
Chef Donnie
one's ever see that. You just made up Ski Boy. Ski Boy never existed.
Brandon
Wrong.
Big Cat
What's that? Ski Boy?
Danny
Austin and Maresh will have been saying
Big Cat
Moresh calls you skateboard.
Dave
Okay, cool.
Chef Donnie
The same guys that said gay chef. Yeah. All right, let's just start another. What's fake word?
Big Cat
Well, gay chef's a real word. A real couple of words.
Brandon
All those are real.
Chef Donnie
Yeah, whatever. Yeah, I'll go skis. If there was more snow, I'd be skiing.
Big Cat
So you haven't skied in the continental United States this year?
Chef Donnie
I went to Big sky on the weekend. President Martin Luther King Day weekend. Can you not do that? Is that not allowed?
Big Cat
Yeah, but you said you only took one ski trip.
Chef Donnie
Yeah, that one didn't really count because it was ice. It was shitty skiing.
Big Cat
But were you skiing? Were you on skis?
Chef Donnie
You could say that, but you know,
Big Cat
were you on skis?
Chef Donnie
Are you fishing? If you're just out there in the water, yes. Okay, then I was skiing.
Big Cat
Well, I don't want you to miss your flight.
Titus
Yeah, well, you're going to catch pilots.
Brandon
I want. Can you watch that Adina documentary?
Chef Donnie
I don't want to watch what were few.
Brandon
What.
Chef Donnie
What are the main talking points.
Big Cat
But they might be saying.
Brandon
I think they made you guys seem like spoiled brat.
Big Cat
Can you play the trailer for now? Do you have time to watch it at 30 seconds?
Brandon
Yeah.
Chef Donnie
I mean, look, there's a. Yeah, there's a very. There's a nice part of Edina and there's like a dine is a very normal town also.
Big Cat
It's like it's the richest town in Minnesota though for home value.
Chef Donnie
That's not true. Minnetonka, we looked it up today. Look at the houses on or on or no, maybe by school district because it's the best public school education wise and sport athletics. But if you look at the late all houses on Lake Minnetonka, just watch
Big Cat
the trailer and tell me how you think it's going to go. That's all.
Chef Donnie
Sure.
Ad Host
Today we're at a Dinah High School in Minnesota, home to one of the most iconic hockey programs in the country. In their storied history, the boys program has won a record 14 state championships. They've been to the dance over 40 times and have been a pipeline for NCAA and pro talent for decades. Simply put, if Minnesota is the state of hockey where Puck is not just a religion but a way of life, then you cannot tell that story without mentioning a Dinah. In fact, you probably have to start with it. Oh, yeah, and I should probably mention everybody else in the state absolutely hates them. Do you hate them?
Chef Donnie
Of course I do.
Titus
Everyone's against United.
Ad Host
Everyone's against them.
Dave
They're the preppy kids.
Chef Donnie
Yeah. I mean, who doesn't like cake fair?
Ad Host
Why exactly? Well, as someone put it to me recently, Europeans, they don't know to hate Duke, the Yankees, or Notre Dame. You gotta go and see it for yourself. So that's what we're gonna do on the eve of the Minnesota State Hockey Tournament. This is snapback Puck, our journey to find the best experience in hockey today.
Big Cat
Thoughts?
Chef Donnie
Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's the winning. Winning most hockey team in the entire state, I guess.
Brandon
Yeah.
Chef Donnie
Duke and the Yankees is a good comparison.
Big Cat
Well, Duke isn't the winningest team in basketball.
Chef Donnie
Well, people hate them because they're good, right?
Big Cat
Well, I hate them because they're assholes.
Chef Donnie
Yeah. I think it's more that it's. It's such a good team that people get sick and tired of the same.
Big Cat
Certainly, if they were bad, I don't think people would hate them as much.
Brandon
Yeah, but if they were bad and still I think. I think people might like them.
Chef Donnie
Yeah. It's not. Asshole. I don't know. I mean, yeah, it's an. It's an affluent town. What do you want me to say?
Big Cat
But that's what. We saw that trailer this morning. We thought of you.
Chef Donnie
And it's not like a Rolls Royce from Ferrari. Like, that's not. I don't know how to explain it. Like, there's. There's very wealthy people there, and there's.
Big Cat
It's more like Aston Martin.
Chef Donnie
Pretty much right down the middle. Did you have your Honda Civic?
Danny
Did you have your own bedroom?
Chef Donnie
No, I shared a bedroom. I had bunk beds with my brother.
Brandon
Holy shit.
Danny
You have your own bicycle?
Chef Donnie
I had a bicycle.
Titus
Yep.
Chef Donnie
I did have a bike, fortunately.
Big Cat
When did you get your first car?
Chef Donnie
I got an old Ford Expedition that the transmission dropped out of a month later when I was 17 years old. And it was $3,000.
Big Cat
Very relatable. Yep.
Brandon
There we go.
Chef Donnie
And I worked landscaping in the summer and restaurants in the winter.
Big Cat
Oh, that's hard work.
Brandon
Let's make the not. Not that rich Graphics.
Chef Donnie
I mean, I don't fight like, that's. That's. I don't care. Whatever. We have plenty of kids.
Big Cat
Yeah, but here's the.
Chef Donnie
Well off here.
Big Cat
Here's the thing. You do care. Well, I care deeply.
Chef Donnie
I don't. It's just. It's tired.
Titus
It's old.
Chef Donnie
It's like, you know, it's. It's also height where you went to high school. Who gives a.
Big Cat
That's right. Agreed. Nobody cares. What I was telling Titus went to Brownsburg High School.
Kate
Yeah.
Chef Donnie
What is that? Who knows? Who cares?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
I was out for a few days. And I don't know if you guys have talked about this. Any update on storage unit?
Chef Donnie
Yeah, I called my parents and my mom said it's next to impossible to find those jerseys. So.
Titus
Yeah. There's nothing we could do.
Big Cat
But you were very adamant you had the jerseys.
Brandon
Yeah.
Chef Donnie
And there's a chance. And my. I asked my mom. I go, is there a chance that he has the jersey? And I really. I don't even know why I'm saying this. But she goes, there's a chance. So there's a chance. You have my jersey. Mark. Congrats.
Titus
Yeah. No, I told. That's what I told you. There's 100% chance it's your jersey.
Chef Donnie
But can we. Can you not speak in absolutes?
Big Cat
Because you look like a.
Titus
But it is your jersey.
Chef Donnie
You'll look like a fool.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Titus
It is your jersey. And I. You owe me two jerseys. All right, Mark, So how are we gonna. How are we gonna square that up?
Chef Donnie
I don't know.
Brandon
I don't know.
Chef Donnie
Get me to Minnesota. Get me back to my home state and we'll figure it out.
Titus
But I feel like you could do that yourself. You know the way back.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Titus
And you know where the jersey.
Chef Donnie
Yeah, But I have to go to Florida to get the keys. So how am I gonna do that?
Brandon
Wait. The key is.
Titus
Keys are in Florida.
Brandon
Where's the storage? What? Where's the storage unit F?
Chef Donnie
In Minneapolis.
Brandon
Why are the keys are in Florida?
Chef Donnie
Yes. The keys are in Florida.
Big Cat
Who's in Florida?
Chef Donnie
Doesn't matter. Keeper. The keys.
Titus
Are you thinking of the Florida Keys?
Kate
You know he's got to answer.
Big Cat
Florida keys.
Chef Donnie
No. I'm not thinking about the chain of islands off the coast of Florida.
Brandon
No.
Big Cat
Your. Your parents are in Florida.
Chef Donnie
Sometimes. Sometimes.
Titus
Sometimes.
Kate
All right.
Big Cat
I don't want to keep you.
Titus
Sometimes.
Big Cat
I don't want to keep you.
Brandon
I got the beef squashed.
Chef Donnie
I don't know. Brandon's fine. That documentary looks awesome.
Big Cat
So we are going to watch it and we're going to come back and say a Dinah came across way more likable than we thought. Or way less like a woman.
Chef Donnie
Yeah.
Titus
Where are you flying to again?
Chef Donnie
But you have to understand why the entire state doesn't like the team that's the best.
Big Cat
But y' all haven't been the best in a while. Right?
Chef Donnie
Just. We've been.
Big Cat
But you didn't win the. Win it this year.
Chef Donnie
Yeah. That's because this fucker cursed us.
Big Cat
Morehead won it. Morehead's the best. Moreheads wanted two years in A row.
Chef Donnie
The tightest touch. The tightest touch. But he touches. Loses. Vcu, Ohio State, Edina, all lose.
Big Cat
We should go to Morehead and do a documentary about them.
Brandon
Ohio State hasn't been good since you've been a fan.
Titus
That's true.
Chef Donnie
Morehead sick. Morehead's that, like. Honestly, that story is the coolest. They're the Iron Range team. They're from basically the farm.
Big Cat
Fargo.
Chef Donnie
Fargo.
Eddie
Yeah.
Chef Donnie
No more credit to Morehead. It's. It's sick to see someone out of the late conference winning.
Titus
Do you like Morehead, Donnie?
Chef Donnie
Yeah, I do. That's a good joke. Yeah, haven't heard that one. Yeah, the old chant was, we get more head. You know, when you're playing against them, we get more head. Easy. It writes itself sometimes.
Brandon
Really does.
Titus
Where are you flying?
Chef Donnie
Florida, Mark.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Titus
And where are the keys?
Big Cat
Florida's a big state.
Titus
Yeah, exactly. And where are the keys?
Chef Donnie
They're in Florida.
Titus
Okay. Interesting.
Chef Donnie
Different parts, though.
Brandon
Okay, you're not.
Titus
You're not flying directly into the.
Brandon
This sounds like a full blown quest house.
Chef Donnie
I'm not even going close to the key. To the. Where the keys are.
Big Cat
There's a chain going to the Everglades, I would assume, right?
Danny
Yeah.
Titus
Yes, that's right.
Big Cat
By the Everglades. And the keys are very.
Chef Donnie
The keys. The physical keys are not in the keys.
Big Cat
Where are the keys?
Chef Donnie
That is different. That's a harder question to answer.
Big Cat
No. You know where the keys.
Chef Donnie
No, because the keys, they move. They could be in two different places. I don't know exactly which one.
Titus
I have an idea. Idea. I have an idea. I have an idea.
Chef Donnie
I can't answer that.
Big Cat
He didn't say. He didn't ask a question yet.
Dave
Go.
Titus
Shoot.
Big Cat
Go.
Titus
All right, here's my idea. You and I do, like, a national treasure quest.
Chef Donnie
Favorite movie.
Titus
We do a quest, like a road trip, whatever it takes. Planes, trains and automobiles to get our hands on these jerseys. And if you agree to do this with me, I will let you keep the jerseys. But we have to document our entire journey to find the keys, get the keys, obtain the keys.
Dave
Yeah.
Titus
Find the storage unit, find the jerseys. We got to get our hands on those two jerseys. And if we do that, I will. Not only will I give you those two jerseys, I might consider giving you your original jersey.
Big Cat
It's pretty big.
Dave
Yeah.
Chef Donnie
If I want. If I cared about the jersey that much, it's okay.
Titus
You, then.
Big Cat
Yeah, but you cared about the jersey a lot when you saw it.
Titus
On it.
Chef Donnie
Fine, I'll do it.
Titus
No, no, I'm not a great video series. I take it back.
Brandon
You seen the jersey recently?
Titus
I take it back.
Chef Donnie
Okay. That's your loss then.
Brandon
You don't see. Titus signed the jersey.
Big Cat
He has the jersey.
Chef Donnie
Sign the jersey. No, never. Now I'm not.
Brandon
Why would I do it?
Titus
I signed it your name though, so it makes sense.
Chef Donnie
Okay, I'll do it.
Big Cat
We have an agreement.
Brandon
If you guys are going to do a national treasure style quest.
Chef Donnie
Yeah. We might have to go see Chris Bonvino then. To get a new Jersey made, I need a new union. You're paying for it.
Titus
We will, but.
Big Cat
So you're going to have.
Titus
I'll do all of this.
Big Cat
So you got to start in Florida.
Brandon
The Florida Keys.
Chef Donnie
Yeah, we got. It's all map. To map it out and check the files and shit.
Titus
But we'll do. The pit will document like all the paperwork we have to fill out. We'll just. We'll document the entire process.
Chef Donnie
Yeah, well, you can't be in the room for that.
Titus
Well, we have like. That's part of the show.
Chef Donnie
We'll blur it out then you have to be on the other side.
Danny
This would be a good documentary.
Chef Donnie
We'll do two sided glass or some shit.
Big Cat
Could you tell the storage unit you lost the keys?
Chef Donnie
No.
Big Cat
Okay, that would.
Chef Donnie
That would require them to open it then. And that's not possible. I don't want them doing that either either.
Titus
All right.
Brandon
Is there a chance where you would have to break into the storage unit? And would you be willing to do that?
Chef Donnie
Yeah, of course.
Big Cat
What if we could rig it up Mission Impossible style?
Brandon
Do you love breaking into stuff more than cooking?
Chef Donnie
I don't B and E. I'm not a breaking inner. I'm not an enter.
Brandon
Like going into you. Do you like being.
Chef Donnie
I like to explore places that may or may not be broken down.
Titus
You like going so they're already broken. And then you enter.
Brandon
So you're an E. I don't break.
Chef Donnie
I don't break anything.
Titus
You enter.
Chef Donnie
I enter. Yeah. Yeah. I used to do more of that. I still do a little. A little bit here and there. No, I enjoy it. I enjoy it as much as the next guy.
Titus
You only enter things that are already broken.
Brandon
Yeah.
Chef Donnie
So you're next.
Brandon
He's gonna enter you. That was a threat, huh? There's a broken man. I can't wait to. He'll be easy to enter.
Chef Donnie
All I'm saying is you got issues, man. Yeah.
Kate
And I'm gonna enter you.
Big Cat
But we have a video series coming.
Titus
Maybe I don't know.
Chef Donnie
Yeah.
Titus
I thought it was. I thought that was a good idea. But Donnie doesn't seem to.
Chef Donnie
We'll do Mark's quest for the keys.
Big Cat
Mark and Donnie's question.
Chef Donnie
Yeah.
Big Cat
Fine.
Titus
And we'll go to the Florida Keys. We'll start at the Florida Keys.
Chef Donnie
The tale of two jerseys.
Danny
Good name for the. Yeah.
Kate
All right.
Chef Donnie
Work in progress.
Big Cat
Once. When do you have to be at the airport?
Titus
Soon.
Chef Donnie
I got a pack.
Big Cat
Whoa.
Chef Donnie
I gotta go.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
How long are you gone?
Chef Donnie
I came back from my meeting and I just got sidetracked. I'm going for. I'll be gone for a week and a half.
Brandon
And when's your flight?
Chef Donnie
It's soon.
Dave
Three.
Big Cat
Time out. You and her are python hunting for
Chef Donnie
a week and a half and then gator hunting. We're python hunting, gator hunting and fit words.
Big Cat
So a week and a half? Yeah.
Chef Donnie
It depends here.
Kate
Yeah.
Danny
It's a dope fake.
Big Cat
What are you doing after your Sydney video? Because you're going somewhere else, aren't you? That is a week and a half.
Chef Donnie
Sydney and I are going python hunting, gator hunting, and then fishing. And I'm coming back on Tuesday.
Titus
It does sound like a great video.
Big Cat
Coming back Tuesday.
Dave
Yeah.
Chef Donnie
That's a week and a weekend. Week and a half. That's a week by your definition. By mine.
Big Cat
It's Today's Tuesday. Donnie.
Brandon
Yeah.
Chef Donnie
And you're coming back next week on Tuesday. Half the week is over.
Big Cat
That's a week.
Chef Donnie
A week and a half.
Brandon
He's right. Brandon. Chef, what time?
Titus
Walk it off, Donnie.
Brandon
Walk what? He said his flight's at 3. Something.
Titus
Time to walk.
Big Cat
We're all letting him get away with a week and a half.
Brandon
I think he.
Titus
There it is.
Brandon
Oh, chaps is there right now.
Dave
Right? Oh.
Big Cat
It was six years ago.
Titus
So we're taking him.
Kate
And Donnie went to Arkansas for the.
Titus
I don't know. I thought my idea was a good one. Brandon.
Big Cat
It is a great idea.
Titus
I'm starting to think that he's just full of. And he knows that there is no storage unit with the 2 jersey.
Brandon
What was his.
Big Cat
His.
Brandon
What was his video series name for it?
Titus
Tale of Two Jerseys.
Big Cat
Why would the Keys be in Florida even if parents are in Florida?
Titus
I don't know.
Danny
But I scattered about Florida. I want to solve this somewhat close to each other.
Brandon
Chef Mark.
Danny
Chain of thought.
Big Cat
And he's. He's not near the Keys. He's in the Everglades.
Dave
Right.
Titus
We're searching for the Florida Keys, but not those Florida Keys.
Brandon
And it could be anywhere. It's One of two places.
Danny
Yeah, that was something.
Brandon
He's stressed for his flight.
Chef Donnie
I'm.
Big Cat
He's leaving on Tuesday. He's getting back on Tuesday.
Brandon
I met how you felt when Dante called you a charity case.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
And then you just went and did that.
Big Cat
You're right. You're right. I should. But I was feeding into the video, and I'm feeding into.
Brandon
I think a lot of people forget
Big Cat
you're a. I was trying to go.
Brandon
Intentional heel.
Big Cat
I was trying to goad him into appearing on the show. You did, but I didn't realize the clip would get to him before that, and then he would. He would get angry at it. And he has a right to get angry. We do. His point was correct. We have a lot of people that coast around here, and Chef Donnie is not a coaster.
Titus
He's got you two in his crosshairs.
Brandon
But I'm on. I'm on thin ice. I'm still good.
Big Cat
He is absolute worker, and he's a workhorse, and he's always looking for shit to do. So if I were. Not if I. I did say it, so I apologize.
Brandon
So who's somebody that you really think that about?

Oh, that guy.

You might run over our dead bodies to get there.
Titus
Yep. Good move.
Big Cat
You know what?
Titus
Might be what I do?
Big Cat
If throwing me under the bus gets you to where you need to be, do it it.
Titus
Because. And he's not going to see this part. Because if I win him over and earn his trust, you're going to backstab him. That's where the fun. And then we have something.

In this riotous episode of The Yak, the Barstool crew—Big Cat, Brandon Walker, Kate, Chef Donnie, Titus, Eddie, Danny, Dave (White Sox Dave), and friends—reunite for a classic hour-plus of office banter, spiraling debates, and relentless ribbing. The main theme quickly emerges: White Sox Dave’s musty clothes, contentious laundry habits, and colorful home ownership saga. His return (“Angry White Sox Dave is back”) becomes the centerpiece, with a playful but relentless deep-dive into his hygiene, living situation, and personality quirks. The show also detours into the “Trains vs. Dinosaurs” adult obsession debate, office rivalries, and a fiery drop-in from Chef Donnie regarding his work ethic and midwestern roots. It's pure Yak: chaotic, brutally honest, occasionally juvenile, and always hilarious.
Dave’s Hygiene Interrogation (15:00–54:00)
Underlying Themes:
This episode stands out for its relentless dissection of ordinary adult life gone slightly off the rails, with Dave’s laundry drama serving as a springboard for backslapping camaraderie and cathartic office group therapy. Between home ownership horror stories, philosophical debates on childhood obsessions, and a fierce defense of pride and class, The Yak proves why it’s a fan-favorite: real talk, zero filter, maximum chaos.
For Yak regulars and newcomers alike, this episode is a pitch-perfect sample: chummy bullying, office anthropology, and a stubborn hero who just won’t stop (stinking) himself.
