Ben Mintz's Broken Ankle Is Literally Killing Him: Thu Jul 23, 2026

Summary

The Yak – July 23, 2026

Episode: Ben Mintz's Broken Ankle Is Literally Killing Him
Host & Panel: Barstool Sports – Big Cat, Brandon Walker, Kate, Titus, Kyle “KBNoSwag” Bauer, Nick, Dan, Stephen Che, Jay, Tate

Episode Overview

This episode of The Yak centers around two main threads:

1. The comedic saga of Ben Mintz’s allegedly “life-threatening” broken ankle and the Barstool crew’s relentless teasing of Mincy for his melodramatic response to a relatively minor injury.
2. The accidental discovery of the most fascinating small-town mayor in America—“Mr. Mayor” Nick from Cooperstown, WI—whose daredevil lifestyle crystallizes into the new “fella” legend of the show.

The episode intertwines these storylines with the group’s trademark banter, several wild tangents, and the planning of new Barstool adventures involving zip lines, exploding appliances, and Roman candle warfare.

Key Discussion Points & Segments

1. Ben Mintz’s Broken Ankle: The Content Gift that Keeps on Giving

Timestamps: 05:29–15:45, 16:13–25:10, Recurring throughout

• Exaggerated Reaction:
  The crew roasts Ben Mintz for treating his broken ankle as if it's a catastrophic, life-altering injury rather than a typical rolled ankle. “He's pretending like his arms aren't working, his tongue isn't working.” – Brandon (08:01)
• Forced Participation:
  Big Cat admits he insisted Mintz attend a Barstool boat event for content’s sake:
  “If we can't monetize this injury that no one has ever had an injury as horrific as his, what's the point?” – Big Cat (06:08)
• Mincy’s Mood:
  Reports pour in that Mintz is in unprecedentedly bad spirits (“crabby” is the consensus), fueling the group’s amusement.
• Wheelchair Antics:
  The revelation that Mintz tried to leave a boat event in a borrowed wheelchair—nearly stealing it—adds to the ridicule.
• Medical Misinformation and Overdramatics:
  Mincy acts as if the boot is a cast—refusing to walk or use crutches.
  “He was moving like an old mobster who got ALS. Giving up.” – Kyle (07:14)
  “If everyone was incapacitated to the extent that Benjamin Mintz is incapacitated right now, people would die from ankle injuries every day.” – Big Cat (18:44)
• Promotion Opportunities:
  Discussion around how Mincy’s injury became a content goldmine, especially for promotional videos with natural comedic moments.
• Comparing Real Injuries:
  Others recount injuries they've sustained, mocking Mintz’s overreaction (“We threw eggs at Kate when she had a broken spine.” – 40:41).

---

2. Meeting the Mayor: Discovering Cooperstown, Wisconsin’s Daredevil Leader

Timestamps: 70:45–104:12 (main segment), references earlier/later

• Setting the Scene:
  The crew gets in touch with Nick, self-proclaimed Mayor of Cooperstown, WI (a town of possibly 1,000–2,000 people, “I just get elected because nobody else will do the job.” – 71:14).
• Daredevil Mayorship:
  Nick’s claim to fame is a YouTube channel filled with wild stunts—failed zip lines, epic bridge swings, appliance explosions, and “Roman candle fights”—all of which he’s done himself.
  “Wait. This is the mayor of the town?” – Kate (75:56)
• Instant Chemistry:
  The Yak crew is captivated. “This man hasn't been to a home in years.” – Kyle (76:49)
• Plans to Visit:
  Discussion turns to sending Stephen Che and others (including Deutsch and Donnie) to Cooperstown for an on-site visit, to donate a baseball and capture new content.
• Clips and Compilations:
  The crew reviews videos of the mayor’s wild stunts (cutting off his own finger, epic fireworks fights, “six-year-old punches out own tooth”).
• Barstool Adventures:
  The idea forms for a mega-collaboration—Che, Deutsch, Donnie, and the Mayor—plus visits to local hotspots, including the notorious “Bonkers” gentlemen’s club.

3. Riffing on Business Org Charts and Crowdsourcing Knowledge

Timestamps: 51:25–63:58

• Stephen Che earnestly asks about the structure of corporations—Chairman vs. CEO vs. President—sending the group into a tailspin.
• The group calls on Large to explain how boards, shareholders, and company leadership work, in typically irreverent and confused style.
• “He's so curious... We have just such a base level of knowledge. Not even that can't go. We're an inch deep, mile wide, on everything.” – Big Cat (55:54)

---

4. Miscellaneous High Points and Running Gags

• Brandon Walker’s Photos:
  Plans for a “Brandon Walker Art Show Day” based on his “worst photos ever” (03:54–04:31)
• Men of Honor Podcast Meltdown:
  Saga continues as Jeff Nadu wants more money and may quit the podcast, with Rico and the crew gleefully observing (29:51–33:56; 112:03–113:50).
• Kate’s Spinal Injury:
  “We threw eggs at Kate when she had a broken spine.” (40:41)
• Six-Year-Old Tooth Punch:
  “Give us some Harlem shake!” – Watching the mayor’s YouTube, they marvel at a video of a kid literally punching out his own tooth (104:50–105:25).
• Wheelchair Swing:
  Legendary video of a paralyzed friend taking a wheelchair off a bridge swing, again emphasizing Midwestern camaraderie and absurdity.

Notable Running Bits & Callbacks

• Mayor Nick’s daredevil CV, becomes the new “fella Friday” legend
• Sexual innuendoes and physical comedy (“Dance for us, clown” – 02:53; “Feed him sweet tea through the breasts” – 68:36)
• Wasp/Hornet nest hunting with Deutsch Sr. and impending hybrid adventure in Cooperstown

Final Thoughts

This episode will stand out for its perfect encapsulation of The Yak’s chaotic, serendipitous fun: merciless inside-roasting of one of their own, the birth of an all-time character (Mayor Nick) through pure happenstance, and a whirlwind of Midwest Americana weirdness—zip lines gone wrong, bridge swings, small-town politics, and the eternal hunt for viral content.

For Yak Fans:

If you missed the show, definitely catch the mayor segment for a rare instant-classic character, and enjoy the group’s masterclass in the art of comic escalation, turning a rolled ankle and a chance call into an episode they swear they’ll never top.

From the brilliant mind of Nick to Rainey, in what's quickly becoming the most popular new party game around, players are secretly assigned unique roles with the good guys trying to expose the bad guys and the bad guys doing everything they can to stay hidden. Each game unfolds under alternating day and night phases with roles like the cool chick, the shy guy, the gambler, El presidente, the mentalist, the planner, the funny guy, and more. Every round is unpredictable, chaotic and ridiculously fun. Who's the bad guy? Is great for parties, pre games, family gatherings or groups who just love deception based games.

He needs one more show. This is good. Yeah, because we already get way too much of him.

[Big Cat]

Oh, he's back. He ate his chicken nuggets. That fast? You gotta chew, bro.

[Brandon Walker]

I would rather have a sated Brandon than a hungry Brandon.

[Big Cat]

Eat your chicken.

[Kate]

There he go.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh my God.

[Titus]

Oh, here he comes.

[Big Cat]

Come on, eat your chicken. Go for real.

[Kate]

Eat your chicken.

[Big Cat]

Go eat your chicken. He does literally whatever we tell him to do. He's doesn't have a mind of his own. Yeah, eat your chicken.

[Titus]

Dance for us, clown.

[Big Cat]

You didn't have enough of the skewers last night? Brennan ate them all.

[Kate]

Yep, yep.

[Big Cat]

I sell blue coffee. Sell blue coffee. Go right now. Amazon or sellbluecoffee.com and buy yourself some coffee. Some really good coffee. Save some dogs. We were at the Cubs game last night because of our Paws Chicago charity stuff. Saving dogs. A lot of paws. Dogs walking around. Oh, he's sitting right there, so you

[Stephen Che]

can listen to us.

[Big Cat]

Paws. Dogs walking around these offices. So go stellabluecoffee.com now and get yourself some really good coffee.

[Brandon Walker]

And that's all we need to talk about from the Cubs game.

[Big Cat]

No, we have other stuff, Brandon.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, okay.

[Big Cat]

He takes the worst pictures ever with his new camera. Yeah, we're actually gonna do. I've decided we're gonna. We gotta figure out a date that works. But I. And I've given him. I've given him Dom for this assignment.

[Dan]

Okay?

[Big Cat]

He can use Dom. I want Brandon's best pictures. And we're gonna do a Brandon Walker art show day where we're going to put him on easels around the office and we'll. We'll look at all of his photography.

[Brandon Walker]

Okay. Oh, man.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, look at him. He was. But yeah.

[Kate]

L is on there.

[Big Cat]

I think he's just got. He's just got an iPhone that's bigger.

[Brandon Walker]

It's just a big iPhone.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it's a bigger iPhone.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

So now would Brandon agree that the pictures didn't turn out?

[Big Cat]

Oh, look at that. That's some good pictures right there.

[Kate]

Layers.

[Titus]

What you can't grasp is that the telephoto lens, when it's fully extended, is like 12 inches.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah. And he walked up right to a woman's breast.

[Kate]

Oh, I'm sure he was zooming in on titties all night, but he did

[Big Cat]

the manual zoom with the titties right where he just. Like, you could see him walking across.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Big Cat]

Oh, there he goes.

[Brandon Walker]

He's eating a Brandon Walker titty gallery.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah, would be.

[Kate]

That's not a bad idea. Brandon, I know you can hear us. Listen down to sporting events. You take pervy shots.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[Kate]

Women's cleavage.

[Big Cat]

Like, we're expecting a bunch of, like, birds and.

[Kate]

And.

[Big Cat]

And, like, lake and fish, and it's just Brandon Walker zooming in on the cheerleaders on every game he's ever been to. That would be awesome.

[Kate]

That's a good gallery.

[Big Cat]

Except for the high school games you go to.

[Titus]

Yeah, don't do that. Only moms. Only moms.

[Big Cat]

So what's up, everyone? How's everyone doing?

[Brandon Walker]

Really good.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah. It was a fun night for us, too. On the bed.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I got to hear for. I got to hear about this book.

[Titus]

There's some people hurting today. People had like a time.

[Kate]

Yeah, I saw there were some people hurting last night as they got there. People hurting.

[Big Cat]

Tough on crime works. I want. I want to. I want at least the act chat doesn't give credit to anything, but I would like at least a maybe 1% credit because they say I'm never tough on crime. Yesterday during the actual. Tate texted me a text exchange with him and Miny where Miny was like, I don't want to come. I got to rest up for football season. As if he's playing. He's like, got to rest up for football season. Where I sit on a couch all the time. But he's like, got to rest up on football season.

[Dan]

The.

[Big Cat]

The doctor said, don't be on my feet. I walked out of the yak yesterday. I found Miny. I said, you're on that boat. He's like, you really. You want me to go? I'm like, you are going to be on that boat. Cuz if we can't monetize this injury that no one has ever had an injury as horrific as his, what's the point? There is no point. And we monetized it because I heard that the night went incredible for the clients. They loved it. There was natural promotion. Mincy did his job.

[Brandon Walker]

Tate gave me a warning, said, hey, he's crabby and he was a grump.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Because he didn't. Because he. I actually made him work for one.

[Kate]

So how.

[Brandon Walker]

This is probably not for.

[Kyle]

It was.

[Brandon Walker]

So this is probably not to talk about on the yak. I want to do it. I had a conversation with him yesterday. He's pretty upset that we are making light of the injury. And I said I would talk to you guys.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I.

[Brandon Walker]

If it does need surgery, it is going to make us look.

[Big Cat]

Nope.

[Brandon Walker]

He's upset.

[Big Cat]

Don't care.

[Brandon Walker]

He's upset that we're making light of it.

[Kyle]

It was so funny watching him how he picked pissed and crabby. He was.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

He.

[Big Cat]

Because I made him work.

[Kyle]

He was moving like an old mobster who got als.

[Brandon Walker]

Yes.

[Kyle]

Giving up. But like the dude from Breaking Bad who clicked bell.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Yes. He was acting like that his mouth was moving in the same way. He. Like, it's odd. And he even had a moment of realization where he's like, I was so crabby in the interviews that Hannah and Donnie were doing and those aren't out yet. I would love to see them. But he's like, I think it was a bad look how crabby I was. And snippy in the end.

[Kyle]

This is so funny, dude.

[Big Cat]

He has a walking boot.

[Kate]

It's called a walking boot.

[Big Cat]

A walking boot.

[Kyle]

He ascends those stairs. Nothing makes me laugh more.

[Big Cat]

He is pretending like his arms aren't

[Brandon Walker]

working, his tongue isn't working.

[Kate]

His entire body stopped working.

[Brandon Walker]

You would think this is a spinal injury.

[Big Cat]

It's insane.

[Brandon Walker]

And honestly, thank God for barstool sports, because if this happened when he was doing something else, he'd be. He'd be dead.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Oh, yeah, that's right.

[Big Cat]

He can put pressure on that. It's a walking boot.

[Brandon Walker]

Well, if you get the other angle, he does put all of his weight on the boot rather than his other foot. Why he should be doing the left,

[Titus]

doing the opposite way.

[Brandon Walker]

And then, Yep,

[Big Cat]

this guy. I do not feel bad at all. At all, dude.

[Dan]

It's.

[Big Cat]

We've had people. Like I said, Max did the same thing. He was in a walking boot. He was back at work the next day.

[Brandon Walker]

He's really, really, really down.

[Kate]

Ryan. Ryan's entire body falls into a. A pile of rubble.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Returns to work the next day and.

[Big Cat]

And then the doctors, like, put it back together like potato head and Mr.

[Dan]

Potato head.

[Kate]

Ryan comes walking in like this.

[Big Cat]

He's like, ready to work.

[Kate]

Hey. Hey, Mark.

[Dan]

How you doing?

[Kate]

Good to see you this morning. I'm like, are you okay? And he's like, I'm all right.

[Titus]

Be fine.

[Big Cat]

I'm fine.

[Nick]

I'll just.

[Kate]

Fine.

[Big Cat]

What are you doing today, Ryan? Oh, I'm just going to clean up some puke on the court till 4am that's fine.

[Kate]

Yeah, he's the best. He's.

[Titus]

He's the.

[Kate]

He's such a hard worker.

[Big Cat]

And this guy has been. Was asked to sit in a wheelchair on a. On a all you can eat, all you can drink boat, and it's like exclusive movie premiere. How could you possibly ask me to do.

[Brandon Walker]

They treated us so well.

[Big Cat]

We might look like incredible event.

[Brandon Walker]

We might need to get Tate down because Tate describing it just how he's the biggest crab there could ever be.

[Dan]

He's in a walking boot.

[Brandon Walker]

He showed up in a walking boot with a wheelchair and crutches.

[Dan]

Huh? Huh? Oh, he's like Lieutenant Dan.

[Big Cat]

Oh, my God.

[Dan]

He's Lieutenant Dan.

[Big Cat]

At New Year's, he was that crabby.

[Brandon Walker]

The most crabby a man's ever been.

[Dan]

What the was that?

[Brandon Walker]

And if you put him like that, there's no way he's turning around on his own.

[Big Cat]

He's just forced to stare out into the water and.

[Brandon Walker]

Is that you that said Lieutenant Dan? It's really funny.

[Kate]

That is funny.

[Big Cat]

I mean, I said we. No, we were joking.

[Nick]

I saw it.

[Big Cat]

Like, this picture.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I said, like, he's somehow aged 30 years.

[Brandon Walker]

And I think.

[Big Cat]

I need to think. He's a World War II veteran. I need to thank him.

[Titus]

Veteran.

[Big Cat]

Like, I would thank that guy for his service. He looks so old.

[Titus]

I had a VA appointment this morning, and Mincy was moping out front.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, that's right.

[Titus]

Smoking area. He was there.

[Big Cat]

And what happened with the cheese? Sticky cheese.

[Brandon Walker]

The whole boat, though. So they. They had just cleaned up the buffet.

[Kyle]

Small board was.

[Brandon Walker]

The night is ending. The boat is docked and people are leaving. He wheels up and gets the fresh plates they just put out for, like, the next day maybe. And he lifts up all the things. They're empty. He throws his arms up and then just fills up a plate with cheese and then leaves.

[Big Cat]

And just. And just leaves it right next to.

[Brandon Walker]

Didn't eat the cheese.

[Big Cat]

Okay, here it is.

[Brandon Walker]

It's only cheese.

[Big Cat]

He made a. Didn't even eat it. Wheeled away from it.

[Titus]

He wheeled away from his own cheese.

[Tate]

Turn it up.

[Brandon Walker]

His music.

[Dan]

No. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

He's like, you. Mikey's like, you done with it? He's like, yeah, I'm done.

[Dan]

I'm full.

[Big Cat]

He just took a plate of stinky cheese and then. Stinky cheese Deutsch.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah. Which is funny.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Very fun.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

This guy. He's not here today, right, Mince? Yeah.

[Dan]

No, he worked last night.

[Kate]

There's no way.

[Big Cat]

No way. We gotta talk to a doctor.

[Kate]

Huh?

[Tate]

He is.

[Brandon Walker]

Every part of his body quit working. His hair is, like, different.

[Dan]

His facial.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

And it's making me believe that he's.

[Kate]

And he kind of rolled his ankle going down some stairs. Kind of. That's. That was the injury, by the way. Lest anyone forget, he. But didn't tumble down the stairs.

[Kyle]

No stumble, no fall.

[Brandon Walker]

And we discover later after.

[Dan]

But it was just on the sidewalk.

[Kate]

Yeah, it was a slight misstep, Brandon.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Kate]

One slight misstep and he's done for.

[Brandon Walker]

Where's his wheelchair?

[Big Cat]

Someone else.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, somebody else had. I think Tate took it back.

[Big Cat]

I'm so. The fact that you guys are telling me how, like, I love that he had to go because it really was like. And people are going to hate to hear this, but when we go to these events, like, the natural promotion. Being barstool is what people are buying into, where it's not like, hey, we're just selling you something. Like, it's like, We're. We're barstool on a boat and mute. Go watch Mutiny. He did his job perfectly last night because those videos are so good. But the fact that he was that crabby.

[Brandon Walker]

I wanted to work maybe.

[Big Cat]

What a fucking loser.

[Brandon Walker]

If Hannah or Donnie are here, maybe they can talk about the interview. Because I wasn't there for it. But even Mintz was, like, I might have been too crabby.

[Big Cat]

Why is he being like,

[Nick]

get him.

[Dan]

I mean, because he's been rewarded for doing nothing for six years.

[Big Cat]

One fucking ankle injury has taken him out.

[Brandon Walker]

Liam just told me something crazy about the wheelchair.

[Dan]

What?

[Brandon Walker]

That he's coming in to tell you. Okay, that wasn't his wheelchair.

[Dan]

Oh, wait a second.

[Big Cat]

Wait a second.

[Brandon Walker]

Or our wheelchair.

[Dan]

Wait a second. What are you about to tell us, Liam?

[Jay]

That wheelchair did not belong to Ben Mince. That wheelchair belonged to the boat we were on. And they wheeled him far away to a hotel. Annika said you guys could go. Like, it's fine. Go. They said, no, we can't. We need the wheelchair back.

[Kate]

What do you mean?

[Dan]

They didn't take it from, like, a passenger?

[Jay]

No, it was the boat's wheelchair.

[Big Cat]

So he came without a wheelchair.

[Dan]

Oh, then he took. He left.

[Kate]

He tried. He basically stole the wheelchair.

[Big Cat]

He tried to steal the wheelchair.

[Jay]

Oh, he left, essentially.

[Titus]

Oh.

[Dan]

And they said, you can't go any further with. That's our wheelchair. Okay.

[Jay]

They wheeled them really far away.

[Big Cat]

One of the workers.

[Jay]

Yeah, like the guy who pulled them up when upon entry. Like, taking them home, Essentially.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, all the way. Because this was at the very end of Navy Pier. Did they take him to land? I think I have this video. Why was he going to a hotel in Deutsche?

[Jay]

The. Yeah. I don't know. The cheese is the stinkiest cheese Deutsches ever melt.

[Brandon Walker]

And I bet he's. He's been around some real stink.

[Big Cat]

Stinky cheesed him.

[Brandon Walker]

I like that.

[Dan]

I think.

[Big Cat]

No, that's very funny. To stinky cheese.

[Dan]

Yeah, but he didn't do it to be funny.

[Big Cat]

No.

[Brandon Walker]

Liam, did you have the chance to talk to Ben last night?

[Jay]

Yeah, plenty. Was he crabbing, really excited to take a picture with me? He is. There's an ominous cloud wheeling around the streets of Chicago right now. Is the only way to put. He's never been this depressive, by the way.

[Big Cat]

Can we just say, like, if he. If he tries to make the argument, like, we forced him to do something and he re. Injured his foot, he could easily use crutches. That's such an easy fix. If he has to keep weight off it. Crutches have been around for thousands of years.

[Brandon Walker]

I think you're actually right with this one, too.

[Big Cat]

Yes, I'm 100% correct.

[Dan]

Why is he so good at knowing crutches?

[Big Cat]

But you can't be like, oh, they made me put weight on. No, we didn't. We made you go to something you can easily not put weight on it if you can't, even though you're wearing a walking boot.

[Jay]

Yeah. I still think he didn't break his ankle at Nancy's. I think he broke it in the ensuing hours, maybe at home, maybe trying to get to the doctor's office when he was with Dom and Tate. I think it happened in the aftermath.

[Brandon Walker]

The break.

[Jay]

That step. There's no.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that step.

[Jay]

There's no way I'm gonna.

[Big Cat]

What do you think is react.

[Brandon Walker]

Unless, like, I broke it at a concert, going nuts, and there was something that. Like, he wasn't feeling pain as well there.

[Kate]

Yeah. How is that what took him down? Also, if that debilitates him that much, you would think that he would, I don't know, just be constantly.

[Jay]

It's just.

[Dan]

He's constantly broken to the original point you made today.

[Titus]

He.

[Dan]

He want to stay home to rest for football season. That's in seven weeks.

[Big Cat]

Exactly. And he's not playing.

[Kate]

Not playing.

[Dan]

Yeah. Seven weeks. And he just said, we don't know if he's. You don't know.

[Big Cat]

What do you think he's gonna say when I ask him how he's doing today?

[Brandon Walker]

Stable. Stable.

[Dan]

I'm coming along. Why does he look so old?

[Jay]

I think he'll say, like, powering through this ankle still really hurts. This isn't a joke. Trying to figure out crutches today, hopefully in office tomorrow, and then won't be here.

[Big Cat]

People break their ankles.

[Jay]

Yeah. A lot.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

I think it's spread

[Brandon Walker]

the break. The break is going towards brain spread

[Kyle]

to his internal organs.

[Brandon Walker]

We need to, like, tourniquet off the brake so it doesn't eek up.

[Big Cat]

Got to.

[Kyle]

We got to collide. It collided with his amoeba, and they formed a symbiosis.

[Big Cat]

All right, Tate's on.

[Kyle]

He is passing away.

[Dan]

What's up?

[Big Cat]

What was Mincy's vibe? Was he mad that I made him work last night?

[Tate]

No, this is. This is what happened.

[Brandon Walker]

He.

[Tate]

I offered him to roll him around. I said, look, this will be good for you. Like, this is. You've got an opportunity to strike gold right now. It sucks that you're hurt, but, like, you going down the red carpet in a Wheelchair is funny. And he. He declined. And he said everyone's treating it like it's a joke and he just wants to be healthy for football season.

[Brandon Walker]

So.

[Tate]

So then I told him, I was like, hey, like, Big Cat says you have to be there. And then I've never. He was crabby. I've never seen him in a worse mood in his entire life than when he arrived at the. At the boat yesterday.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, no, he said after you told him that when I walked out of the act, he was just like, you really want me to go? I said, yes, you're going. And he's like, oh, okay, I'll go. And I was like, yeah, you're going.

[Tate]

He was still in a bad mood today. I texted him. I texted, was like, hey, man, like, just checking in on you. Hope everything's okay. I know you're hurt, but like, you did. You were the talk of the town last night, and he just liked the message.

[Big Cat]

Oh, he's actually mad.

[Brandon Walker]

No, he's not mad. He's not pissed. He's crabby. It's the. By definition, he's so crabby.

[Big Cat]

Oh, my God.

[Tate]

But he doesn't get, like. He thinks you're all making it a joke that he's hurt. That's the disconnect. You all know that he was injured, correct? You think that the fact that he's in a walking boot with an injury, that an 8 year old would be at school the next day and him like, being carried up the aisle, that's funny.

[Big Cat]

Correct. It's not. We know he has an injury. People have those injuries all the time and are able to move about there. Like, if everyone was incapacitated to the extent that Benjamin Mintz is incapacitated right now, people would die from ankle injuries every day. Think about that. It would be like the number one killer in America.

[Brandon Walker]

Yes. It would pass up heart disease, quick

[Big Cat]

dui, ankles, sprained ankles.

[Dan]

Basketball would be out.

[Kate]

Oh, yeah, basketball.

[Big Cat]

Oh, my God.

[Tate]

But also, Big Cat, you got to think about it. Do you want to keep poking fun at it, or do you want a fully healthy Ben mint for football season

[Dan]

in seven weeks so he can go

[Big Cat]

to Ole Miss games?

[Tate]

This is gonna linger throughout football season. If you guys don't give him some time off,

[Kyle]

he's going to devolve into a gluttonous carcass, and we are going to love it.

[Big Cat]

What if he never walks again?

[Brandon Walker]

There's Big Cat. I think there's like a 30% chance.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Tate]

Well, here's the thing. And Nick, you were in the conversation yesterday, he keeps repeating the same thing. Like Nick said, tough time to get hurt, to hurt your ankle. And he said, no, this is actually the best time. Cuz he got his panic trip out of the way. This is a law on the schedule, and he's got some big panic trips and fall plans. So you guys need to let him rest up now or else that's in danger.

[Dan]

I hate that you're not lying. I bet Widespread Panic's just in like a. Like a two month, just a break. No. No shows. And he's very happy he broke his ankle during that two months.

[Tate]

And he's going to Nashville for like the Ole Miss. I don't know, some Ole Miss game.

[Dan]

Ole Miss. Vanderbilt on Ole Miss. Ole Miss, Louisville.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Tate]

And then also Ole Miss, lsu, I believe is week three. So, like, all jokes aside, he thinks that he needs to rest up this

[Big Cat]

ankle for Those events for September 20th.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Tate]

Football season.

[Jay]

What's his rehab going to look like and revamping towards full progression?

[Tate]

I don't know, because that's where I, I, like, had to have a. A talk with him yesterday. He's in a walking boot. The definition you're supposed. The boot was given to you for you to walk.

[Dan]

Yes. It's built to absorb the pressure when you. When you put weight on it. Correct.

[Tate]

But he thinks it's just like a cast that, like, you need crutches and you need a wheelchair. But, like, it is a walk. He should be in the office walking around.

[Big Cat]

Correct. Oh, Bloodman, you just. You just pop. Like what you just said. Just. I need a video of him at physical therapy where, like, it's like, wow. Man who is thought to be paralyzed is walking again.

[Dan]

That's Ricky Bobby.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, him just with like, with like the B or whatever. The uneven bar or whatever the they're called, where he's just walkers.

[Brandon Walker]

I want him in like the half underwater treadmill.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, he's in the treadmill. Just like, oh, my God, first steps. They're ringing the bell for him.

[Kate]

Tate, at any point did you want to intervene as he's walking up the stairs? And the. The most comical way, like, he. He doesn't know which leg is hurt.

[Tate]

He's putting. I agree. I agree with Quigs when he said this is his favorite iteration of mints. Mine as well. Because, like, before, I don't know if Hank got it on camera. I said, mincy, like, do you want us to do the. Under the shoulder? Carry you up? Do you want us to get crutches? Do you Wanna. And he goes, no, I gotta learn how to do this myself at some point. And it's like, so. So no. Titus did I want to help my guy? Yes. But at some point, he's gonna need to have to learn to walk again, and he knows that.

[Brandon Walker]

Tate, were you down there for the red carpet interviews? I don't know if you heard me say it. He had, like, a moment of realization where he was like, I think I was too snippy in the interviews.

[Tate]

I didn't see his actual red carpet interview, but I checked in on him and he was like, reflecting, and I said, you doing good? He goes, I was. I was. I was snippy.

[Nick]

Like.

[Tate]

Like my red carpet interview is not going to come off good.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I want to see.

[Dan]

I want to see snippy. Been Mintz.

[Jay]

There was also. There was a scream that we heard.

[Stephen Che]

We.

[Jay]

We were right next to Mincy. There was a Mincy scream. It's not recorded anywhere. I don't think it was unbelievable.

[Brandon Walker]

Somebody stepped on his foot.

[Jay]

White Sox. Dave stepped on

[Tate]

and he. I wouldn't call it a scream. I would call it a shriek.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Oh, my God. And there's no way he could feel it through that walk.

[Dan]

Hey. Stepped on top of the walking boot.

[Tate]

I think he brushed it. I think he brushed the walking boot.

[Big Cat]

This fucking.

[Jay]

It was unbelievable.

[Brandon Walker]

I need to edit this video of the captain's helping him off the boat.

[Stephen Che]

Real quick. Could it be argued. So he has these two football games that he's going to go to from a content perspective. Basically, nothing is expected. This is a joy trip for him.

[Dan]

No, that's him going to a game.

[Stephen Che]

He was a pleasure trip for him.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Correct. Does that work?

[Stephen Che]

However, I have to say you could argue that him going to these games and trying to figure out navigating it with this injury.

[Big Cat]

I liked it.

[Dan]

That's only if Tate goes with him.

[Big Cat]

No. So what Steven said.

[Brandon Walker]

And he would still have to be hurt in seven months.

[Big Cat]

We need to get him re. Injured.

[Tate]

Oh, well, we're going to have.

[Brandon Walker]

We got to take him to Nancy's

[Stephen Che]

if he is still injured.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. What if he breaks his other foot?

[Dan]

Just keeps breaking things all the way up.

[Big Cat]

Oh, my God.

[Dan]

What were you going to say?

[Tate]

Just that the first game. The first game he's going to Ole Miss. Wise is. He's under the impression that he remember the. The party he threw at Barstow Scottsdale for the Fiesta Bowl.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Tate]

He said that that went so well that he's going down to Barstool Nashville to throw A similar party. So that's his first trip. And the second one is Ole Miss, lsu. But we got to figure out. We got to get him healthy or else. Or else it's in.

[Dan]

He's.

[Tate]

He's questionable right now.

[Dan]

I believe that Ole Miss Louisville game in Nashville is on a. On a Sunday. The Sunday before Labor Day.

[Brandon Walker]

He'll go down Wednesday.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Tate]

He packed a hunt. A thousand people. IDs checked at the door in. In Scottsdale. You think he can't do that?

[Big Cat]

No, he's right. Because Ole Miss fans won't drink unless they know where. Like, or, you know, Pied Piper tells him where.

[Dan]

Correct.

[Big Cat]

I just. By the way, I text him and said, how you doing today? He said, I'm moving slow, but all right. Great event last night. I said, are you still crabby? He wrote back, crabby, question mark. I said, yeah, crabby. He said, if that means sluggish, yes,

[Dan]

no, ask, say snippy. But he used the word snippy, right?

[Big Cat]

He's getting better slowly. Just hope to avoid surgery. I said, I think you will. You have a walking boot, right? He said, yes. Next three weeks. He knows it's a walking boot.

[Jay]

He does keep bringing up the fear of surgery.

[Dan]

I have a question.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah. He does not. I think the hearing the word surgery really fucked with him.

[Dan]

If I have a broken ankle and I'm wearing a bulky boot that is meant to allow me to walk.

[Nick]

Correct.

[Dan]

And then I walk around lifting that boot the whole time, am I putting more pressure on the injured ankle than I would be if I simply use the walking boot to do what it was designed to do?

[Brandon Walker]

Too much pressure because it's such a heavy boot.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

I'm no doctor, but that.

[Dan]

I'm asking questions.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

[Jay]

There was also a hypothetical floating around last night that I'm curious about some of your guys thoughts. There was cause for concern that mints might roll off into the water last.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah.

[Jay]

He would sing.

[Big Cat]

He wouldn't even fight.

[Jay]

I was wondering if he would like,

[Big Cat]

what if I thought of that. I was like, I hope it goes down.

[Brandon Walker]

If they accelerated the boat a little bit. He flies off the edge.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Jay]

All of a sudden he's 100% percent screaming. He could get out of there. Or he just.

[Big Cat]

No, he just go down and he wants to. Straight down. Yeah, straight down.

[Dan]

You're saying the. The divers would discover him sitting in

[Big Cat]

the chair at the bottom of the seabed.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Crabby.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah.

[Kate]

With his arms crossed.

[Big Cat]

I'm so tough on crime. I might make him play 5 on 5 basketball tomorrow in his walking boot. I might just be like, dude, you got.

[Titus]

We need.

[Big Cat]

We need an extra guy.

[Brandon Walker]

I don't think he will ever be the same.

[Dan]

I think you guys said this is your favorite version of Ben Mintz. It is one of the better ones. I. I kind of like the glimpse into angry Ben Mance. We've never seen. Truly. Fuck you guys. Ben Mintz. I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't mind if we got right.

[Kate]

NWO tape.

[Dan]

Yeah, but he didn't have the. No, he can't do that. He can't keep that up for long. But if he could, like maybe for one day just be pissed off Ben Mintz, naturally, I think that'd be funny.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. God damn it.

[Jay]

I love this.

[Dan]

All right.

[Big Cat]

Thank you, Tate.

[Tate]

Thanks, boys.

[Nick]

Thank you.

[Big Cat]

This guy, man.

[Dan]

We have another major.

[Big Cat]

I feel like being tough on crime. Well, if I. I'm like, I need to get like a sheriff's badge. Starting to. I'm starting to get a lust for it. Like, I want to make him do more.

[Kyle]

That's only.

[Big Cat]

He might have to run the marathon,

[Kyle]

but that's only going to make him more desirable.

[Brandon Walker]

That's good.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Once you learn to accept the mints, life is great.

[Kate]

Mm.

[Kyle]

A lot of people still have it.

[Big Cat]

No, A lot of people are still struggling.

[Kyle]

Probably hate that we find this funny.

[Big Cat]

They struggle with it all the time.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Might just be the. Of our generation. Yeah. It's. Oh, man.

[Brandon Walker]

He's just like. Just when he's pushed, like the way his neck has no strength where it

[Big Cat]

goes, the body goes nuts. Yeah, it's nuts.

[Dan]

And we just saw for the first time. But the image of them singing karaoke, you pan slowly to the back of the room and he's facing away from everybody else.

[Kate]

I want to watch that video.

[Dan]

He's facing out the window because that's how they put him. All right. Everybody's partying. We're having fun.

[Kate]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dan]

Get them going, Za. Everybody's going, having fun.

[Brandon Walker]

Smiles all around.

[Titus]

Even as.

[Kyle]

Why is his neck given up?

[Brandon Walker]

His neck has zero strength left.

[Big Cat]

He could face the chair towards the people.

[Brandon Walker]

But no, I mean, he may have died a couple days ago. And it's all reflex right now.

[Kyle]

All the saltiness is chicken.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, yeah.

[Big Cat]

Oh, my God. What was the other thing? I mean, you know.

[Dan]

You know, man of honor.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, I thought you were talking.

[Big Cat]

I am shocked that Jeff Nadu is not following through.

[Dan]

Is he blaming us and how he's portrayed?

[Big Cat]

I don't know. By the way, I've got an announcement coming. I don't think I'm going to do men of honor. Oh, yeah, he's good. In fact, I think I'm gonna demand more money. I think I'm gonna demand more money. I didn't like how it was portrayed or had been portrayed by this. I think the price of the brick is going up. You want me to do men of honor? I need more money. I haven't signed anything or maybe I won't do it at all.

[Tate]

I'm a little upset.

[Nick]

We'll have to wait and see.

[Dan]

Can we just say bye?

[Tate]

Hit the like.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dan]

So bye.

[Brandon Walker]

He said he was getting $60,000 for this.

[Dan]

For a one once a week podcast. That's one hour football season. Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

That will last three weeks and not because of him.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

This is the biggest win for Rico ever.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, my God.

[Big Cat]

Dancing in the streets.

[Brandon Walker]

Should we.

[Big Cat]

I. I just texted.

[Brandon Walker]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

He's got to talk to Rico. He's.

[Brandon Walker]

But I want him smiling and dancing.

[Dan]

Hold on. I want him to fucking talk about it. I don't want him to fucking sit there and be smiling. And he's like, oh, yeah, the birds are singing. I have no idea what you got. Hold it.

[Brandon Walker]

So Rico's going to pop on. He's going to say a saying that's never been said.

[Dan]

Yes.

[Brandon Walker]

And smirk and you'll be like, all right, Rico.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

He's going to call me Danny Fetish.

[Dan]

He's just going to act like it's good weather in New York today. That's why he's happy.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, it's nice out.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. No, he's. It's this is the biggest day. I mean, this dude's done this like, seven times.

[Dan]

Seven times.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Free money.

[Big Cat]

But you know what?

[Dan]

It's free fucking money.

[Big Cat]

It's for the better anyway.

[Dan]

Yeah, he sucks.

[Big Cat]

And you could also just keep holding them, like. Like the threat of it.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, but.

[Dan]

But when he said, I didn't like the way I was portrayed, he. That's how he portrayed.

[Big Cat]

All he had to do is get sucked.

[Dan]

All I said was, I don't think you got sucked. And he melted down and in the next couple of weeks was just a slow descent into unsuckedness. And that's where we are right now. That's all I said. I said, I don't believe you. He portrayed himself like this.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah. It was just all him in real life.

[Dan]

Yes, correct. Oh, that's it. I knew the weather thing. Hey, Rico, what's up? How you feeling? Good.

[Big Cat]

Family Feud Tonight, Foxwood Stream 6 to 8.

[Dan]

Sure. Big things. But what I wanted to get you on to ask about was Nadu pulling out of Men of Honor, the podcast you were forced to do with him.

[Tate]

Right.

[Big Cat]

What's your question?

[Dan]

Are you happy that he's pulling out?

[Big Cat]

It's a change. Yeah, well, it fits the bill. I mean, he's never really put it in anything, so. Put it in anything.

[Kate]

Put it in.

[Big Cat]

I think you're getting confused with sex and blowjobs.

[Kate]

Never put it in.

[Big Cat]

Tried. He tried.

[Kate]

He's pulling out.

[Big Cat]

He was trying for a quip. He was trying for equipment.

[Dan]

Well, Rico, did you. Did you know this was coming all along, that he was gonna flake and. And. And be. Be this.

[Big Cat]

I think there was a good chance.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I mean, it's a long game. Dan's like, congrats. Got people texting.

[Tate]

Congrats.

[Big Cat]

It's a long game. So it's a long game.

[Nick]

You don't.

[Big Cat]

You don't hold the. The trophy up just yet, but. Yeah, I kind of knew this was going to go.

[Dan]

No.

[Big Cat]

Pathological liar.

[Dan]

Next question. Are you playing golf?

[Big Cat]

No, I am not. I'm having lunch with a buddy, and then I'm heading over to Foxwoods for some stuff. Oh, you look nice.

[Stephen Che]

Thank you.

[Big Cat]

So you can get this at the barstool store. Oh, nice. So congrats, Rico.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Is this.

[Tate]

Are you.

[Titus]

Are you.

[Brandon Walker]

Did you wake up? Happy.

[Kyle]

Idiot.

[Big Cat]

Drive up?

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

No, he never wakes up. Don't say that, Dan. Well, I asked. Remember when I asked here he goes, Rico. I was like, when was the last time you woke up and you weren't angry and you're like you gave me a date. That was like two years ago. You're like a specific date. You're like April 2, 2023.

[Nick]

It's.

[Big Cat]

It's the night. It's the night terrorist.

[Kate]

It's.

[Tate]

I'm.

[Big Cat]

I'm pissing a lot in the middle of the night. I. I don't get great sleep. But, you know, day by day, there's a lot of games still left to be played here, so. Yeah, there's a lot of game left to be played. Well, congrats. And working girls are expensive.

[Dan]

Yeah. Oh, there we go.

[Big Cat]

I need the money.

[Dan]

So there we go.

[Big Cat]

Okay, congrats though. What's the problem, B? What's the problem, Brandon?

[Dan]

By for me saying, there we go.

[Big Cat]

What's. What's your fucking problem?

[Tate]

What do you mean?

[Kyle]

The little comments.

[Brandon Walker]

Play ball, Brandon.

[Big Cat]

Come on, B.

[Dan]

When you said the working girls, I was like, there we go. Way to go, Rico. Let's give us something. That was. That was good. I was enjoying it.

[Kate]

I like that.

[Tate]

I like that.

[Dan]

All right.

[Kyle]

All right, bud.

[Big Cat]

See?

[Brandon Walker]

Play the game.

[Dan]

Yeah, but when I played the game, When I played the game, you stopped the game.

[Kyle]

There you go, Brandon.

[Dan]

Yeah, there you go.

[Brandon Walker]

I have never seen less chemistry between two in my entire. Nothing ever worked. Nothing ever worked.

[Dan]

I was cheering him on. I was in there. I was in the peanut gallery like,

[Kyle]

yeah, go read nothing together.

[Big Cat]

Oh, hold on a second. Man of honor does need a co host now. Brennan, you need another show.

[Dan]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, my God.

[Kate]

Oh, wow. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

This could be great.

[Dan]

No, pass, Pass.

[Big Cat]

Here we go.

[Brandon Walker]

B.

[Big Cat]

Why'd you call him B?

[Dan]

I don't know.

[Nick]

Wacky.

[Big Cat]

Wacky day, you know? Yeah, it is a wacky day. That's true. Wacky, wild and crazy.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Hey, are the boys doing burpees? Are they standing down? Are they doing. Are we back to name that?

[Dan]

It's.

[Tate]

They're doing well.

[Big Cat]

Okay. Nice. Good, good. Okay.

[Dan]

Now can I ask Dan a question? What are the chances.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dan]

That Dave thinks about this for the afternoon and then comes back says, you know what? I am going to give Jeff Nadu a little bit more money.

[Big Cat]

Zero.

[Dan]

Because I want this to happen.

[Big Cat]

Zero.

[Dan]

Okay. All right. Just checking. Just checking. Zero and good. I say good riddance.

[Big Cat]

Will this be the last time we hear of Jeff Nadu? Whether it be in the pickup universe or whatever. Whatever or.

[Nick]

Yeah. Well, you.

[Big Cat]

You bring them up too a lot there. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying that.

[Brandon Walker]

That I think this is the last time.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. No, no.

[Nick]

He.

[Kate]

He.

[Big Cat]

His Story arc is not complete.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

It's on a palm.

[Brandon Walker]

This closes the book of Nadu.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

You're a cat guy, Dan. You like giving people nine lives, myself included. Rightfully so. But, you know. You're a cat guy. I was gonna say Rico. Yeah. Benefited greatly from that. Okay, well, congrats.

[Tate]

Right?

[Kate]

Change that.

[Big Cat]

Mark, I heard you're having trouble with reservations.

[Kate]

What. What does that mean?

[Big Cat]

Well, no, you.

[Tate]

You wanted.

[Big Cat]

You were like, what do I do? How do I get a good table? If you need a meal, let me know.

[Kate]

Oh, yeah, yeah. We were talking about that. Yeah. How does the Rico Jerry reservation.

[Kyle]

Right.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I'm.

[Kyle]

Yeah, I'm in the market.

[Kate]

I've had trouble. I just. I. I haven't tried yet. I haven't tried yet, but I'll hit you up. Yeah, I'll hit you up.

[Big Cat]

Least I could do. We also, we lost. The kid from Virginia was supposed to be one. He was on the watch list.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

He was gonna be one of the best players. His team lost, so.

[Kate]

Brutal.

[Kyle]

We'll see.

[Kate]

Brutal. Yeah, we lost Carl Ravage.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Huge loss for the COVID That's pretty bad, too.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Huge loss for the coverage.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Brutal.

[Kate]

So.

[Big Cat]

All right, Rico, congrats. Accept the congrats.

[Tate]

No, absolutely not a lot of game.

[Big Cat]

I'm giving you a congrats. No, a lot of game, Dan. See, this is what YouTube. You're the big gambling. Don't blink on me. Don't change your underwear. Sit in my chair. Cross your legs, tuck your balls. Like, don't touch my gambling. There's a lot of game left, bud. A lot of game left.

[Kate]

So.

[Big Cat]

So congrats. Yeah.

[Tate]

Okay.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

I'll start saying things you don't want me to say.

[Kate]

Oh. So, yeah, Bosco seems pretty happy.

[Dan]

All right, Hit him good, Rico. All right.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Have fun out there. I love you, Ric. Oh, love you, Rico.

[Dan]

Did we see real anger there at the end?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, seemed like it.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

He just seemed like. I kept saying that. Congrats.

[Kate]

Just answers every question.

[Dan]

Circle back. I'm. Circle back.

[Kate]

Love that.

[Dan]

Obviously, Nadu's been given a great opportunity, and now he's doing this stupid bullshit. And the money date. Whatever, whatever. He's once again flaking and proving to be what he's been so many times before. You don't think there's an ounce of chance? Dave is like, well, I'll give him 80 to further sit on Rico.

[Big Cat]

Absolutely not.

[Dan]

Because you know Rico, tonight when Family Feud hits, he's going to be on the highest high. You don't Think that's the time Dave's going to make an announcement.

[Kyle]

Dave doesn't. Does he hate Nadu?

[Big Cat]

He hates this. This part of Nadu he despise.

[Dan]

I think he. Nothing's nado as far as.

[Big Cat]

No, but he, he likes the existence of him. But this part is just powerful. Yeah. Where he's just like, I'll do this thing. Actually, I want more money.

[Jay]

So.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. No, it's.

[Brandon Walker]

But that's what makes Nadu. Nadu.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Absolutely. Play the hits. It's playing the hit.

[Dan]

It's. It might be the easiest 60,000 and I don't know who said 60,000. That's. Where. Did Tate say it earlier?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, Tate.

[Dan]

But it might be the easiest 60,000 any human beings ever made.

[Big Cat]

Correct.

[Dan]

It's. So it's. It's probably a podcast that lasts three weeks. It's an hour a week.

[Big Cat]

Correct.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Dan]

And you're getting 60.

[Big Cat]

Correct.

[Kyle]

60K.

[Big Cat]

But you gotta understand, like how he

[Dan]

was portrayed by himself.

[Big Cat]

Correct.

[Jay]

All right.

[Big Cat]

To the, to the thing that he agreed to do with Tate coming to his birthday party they threw for himself.

[Dan]

Yeah. And the. And he's going back on the agreement he previously made four Men of Honor podcast.

[Big Cat]

I can't quit him. But I know under. I understand other people are.

[Brandon Walker]

This is the. This is the real last time.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Kate]

It's.

[Big Cat]

It's over.

[Kate]

Has to be.

[Big Cat]

It's over. We'll never hear nothing more.

[Dan]

God, you're so full of shit.

[Big Cat]

Oh, man. By the way, pardon my cheesesteak. If you're watching the game, working late, or just too lazy to cook on a given night, there's only one call to make. Pardon my Cheesesteak. We're talking thinly sliced steak, melted provolone, mouth watering cheese sauce. All loaded up on a perfectly toasted hoagie roll. This is a legit heavy hitter cheesesteak. And if you really want to do it right, grab the big cat combo, cheesesteak, fries and a drink, or the brand new chopped cheese combo. That's a complete meal. It's available nationwide. Delivers easy. Game day covered. Late night covered. So stop overthinking. Dinner order. Pardon my cheesesteak right now. Use code awl for free delivery on pardonmycheesesteak.com Kate. I just saw Kate reply to a tweet that needs to be stated. We threw eggs at Kate when she had a broken spine. Oh yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

We made a run

[Titus]

thinking about it

[Big Cat]

with a walking boot.

[Titus]

I had two small children that I cared for.

[Big Cat]

Hate's spine was. Oh yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Bones were turning to dust.

[Titus]

It's an agony.

[Big Cat]

It's okay, though.

[Titus]

I'm happy that he's good.

[Dan]

Did we do something to pregnant you ever?

[Kyle]

To what?

[Brandon Walker]

To impregnate her.

[Big Cat]

What the.

[Kyle]

Speak for yourself.

[Dan]

Are y' all stupid? I said, did we do something to

[Big Cat]

pregnant you when I was pregnant?

[Dan]

When you were pregnant. The pregnant.

[Kate]

Are y'.

[Dan]

All.

[Kate]

Did we do something to pregnant you?

[Brandon Walker]

To pregnant her?

[Dan]

The pregnant version of you? Did we also do something to you then?

[Big Cat]

That's right. We did have the turkey baster.

[Titus]

That's right. Yes.

[Big Cat]

Could be any of yours.

[Titus]

Could be any of yours.

[Big Cat]

That's not worth a freak out.

[Titus]

Go eat.

[Big Cat]

There's no way this guy is perfect for man of honor. Oh, that was awesome.

[Brandon Walker]

This has to be something underlying.

[Nick]

What was.

[Jay]

We.

[Brandon Walker]

I wasn't even trying to.

[Kate]

No, I. I thought he said.

[Brandon Walker]

I thought he was impregnate.

[Big Cat]

Pregnant.

[Kate]

Pregnant.

[Brandon Walker]

And we all thought that.

[Kate]

We all thought it.

[Kyle]

I was looking up the.

[Big Cat]

It wasn't a one person. We all.

[Kate]

I thought I was about to learn a new word.

[Brandon Walker]

I was like, I don't know what he. We dog pile on him more than most. Wasn't.

[Big Cat]

That was an awesome freak out. Holy. I love that.

[Kyle]

It's real, too.

[Kate]

He's going through it. I think going through it.

[Big Cat]

Dropped his wallet through it. Hey, credit to Brandon. He had it first.

[Dan]

The.

[Big Cat]

The bus. Yeah, espn.

[Dan]

He had that first.

[Big Cat]

He did for anyone.

[Brandon Walker]

He wouldn't even tell us after the show.

[Titus]

Nope.

[Stephen Che]

He was up way past his bedtime last night.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Came in late today. Connor parked in a spot that he usually parks in.

[Big Cat]

Oh, man.

[Stephen Che]

Nice.

[Big Cat]

I saved there.

[Titus]

I think he. Everybody was making fun of his camera last night.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, everybody was giving him. I also roasted him pretty good on the way out, remember?

[Kate]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

So it wasn't the pregnant thing. That's really.

[Big Cat]

No, there was a guy. So the. We went to the Cubs game last night, and with the winners from the pause furball, Stephanie and her husband Scott and their friends, awesome people. And they had one friend who was coming off of like a birthday party weekend in Key West. And in the fourth, fourth inning, I went and sat next to him, and he goes, it's only the fourth inning. And I was like, dude, go home. Like, what are you doing? Just go home. He's like, I can't. I was like, yeah, you can. You're. You're a grown man. You can go home. And so he ended up going home in like the fifth inning. His name was Chris. So Brandon went home in the sixth, and I just Go.

[Stephen Che]

All right.

[Big Cat]

See you, Chris. And the fucking sweet.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

It was so good. Oh, they were just Chrising.

[Brandon Walker]

He's talking to his agent.

[Kyle]

Chris.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, man.

[Big Cat]

All right, Brandon, come on back.

[Titus]

Brandon.

[Brandon Walker]

Colin Compton.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Room for one more on the bus.

[Big Cat]

I kind of want him to go to ESPN now and have Stephen A. Smith, like, bust his balls. Just harass him. Yeah, it's like, dude, it's everywhere you go. Don't worry about it.

[Kyle]

Subject him to constant ridicule.

[Big Cat]

I really did think he said impregnable. I did, too.

[Kyle]

We all did.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Through my memory bank.

[Titus]

I was like. I don't.

[Big Cat]

You didn't, like, remember that Easter joke?

[Dan]

I don't.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah.

[Dan]

It's. I don't know.

[Brandon Walker]

He's still, like, breathing heavy, too.

[Kate]

What is going through his mind? Is he, like, I can't believe I spiked my Chick Fil. A drink?

[Brandon Walker]

Is he mad about losing his drink?

[Titus]

He's probably ordering someone.

[Kyle]

Ashamed.

[Big Cat]

I'm gonna order him another one right now. I'm gonna order another.

[Brandon Walker]

Sweet.

[Kyle]

He's got it.

[Titus]

My goodness gracious.

[Kate]

Man, he's grumpy. He's crappy. Two crabs, two crabby. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I learned something new about Stephen Che last night. That was the first time he's ever been in a suite in a stadium.

[Kyle]

Steven.

[Brandon Walker]

Isn't that really surprising?

[Big Cat]

I know.

[Kyle]

What a day.

[Brandon Walker]

I don't think that's.

[Stephen Che]

I don't think I have been before, but I have not.

[Big Cat]

He kept on saying that, but then he. He said that he. He never. He didn't know what the dessert cart was. Was.

[Stephen Che]

Oh, it was sick.

[Big Cat]

No, it always is.

[Kate]

It's a good.

[Brandon Walker]

What did you get, Steve?

[Stephen Che]

I got a piece of lemon mering cake that was delicious. And a milk chocolate turtle, which was awesome. And then two Cubs cookies to bring home for the kids. Great.

[Brandon Walker]

It's cool that you're doing all this awesome stuff and bringing home tiny little trinkets for the kids.

[Stephen Che]

Thanks.

[Kate]

Go back to Brandon. What's he done?

[Brandon Walker]

Dear diary, this was mint yesterday.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

What's he watching?

[Titus]

Is he talking to

[Big Cat]

Sweet Tea's not available. What the Is that?

[Titus]

I rode in Brandon's truck yesterday up to the game, and he had to make me wait inside for five minutes so he could clean a space for me to sit in. It's tough going in there.

[Kyle]

What is he just junk or.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, it is.

[Titus]

Like, he. Every time he opened his door, stuff just fell out into the street and I kept having to pick it up. It's like, wires and old tickets and Seats.

[Kyle]

He doesn't want to wire souvenirs.

[Titus]

It was things and garbage.

[Kyle]

Rubbish.

[Titus]

Kind of in a stew, but yeah.

[Dan]

All right.

[Big Cat]

I just ordered him more. Do you need his card?

[Brandon Walker]

Fell out.

[Kate]

His wallet did fall out.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, Danny, did you get the edit done?

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

It's just like another two minutes of everyone and acting like he's a paraplegic, like he has three guys helping him

[Big Cat]

at one point get off the boat.

[Brandon Walker]

I DM'd it to you, TJ.

[Big Cat]

Also, Stephen. Stephen was with me when I won the 5050 again last night. It was electric.

[Stephen Che]

That was actually.

[Brandon Walker]

I can't believe it happened again.

[Big Cat]

I can't believe either.

[Kate]

I think I'm just.

[Big Cat]

I think I'm just gonna win it every time.

[Kate]

I think your dominance might be bad for the 50 50.

[Big Cat]

You think so?

[Kate]

I think you're like Yukon women's basketball right now. I think maybe I. But I think you won the second time too quickly.

[Big Cat]

I'm going to.

[Kate]

Needed a little bit more time, but I did.

[Big Cat]

But I. It's weird that it happened two days after big check day, but remember, I didn't win. The first one was October.

[Kate]

Yeah, but it's just. I don't know the optics.

[Brandon Walker]

Why would I ever buy a ticket knowing that you're going to win?

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I'm going to wave. I'm going to. I'm going to pay the guy who operates the camera being like, stay on me for five minutes because I'm going to wave and I'm never going to stop.

[Brandon Walker]

I want the crowd to start booing.

[Big Cat]

I'm going to wave so much.

[Kate]

They start playing behind you, and you're

[Big Cat]

still going to be insane. Yeah. But it was. Stephen just kept on reading the number. I was like, read me the numbers. And he started reading him. He's like, you still with me? You still with me? I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Boom.

[Stephen Che]

There are like nine or ten numbers after the first four.

[Kate]

Awesome.

[Kyle]

Stephen with the assist.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

You guys made wrigley your yesterday.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, we did. We kind of lived. Oh, yeah, we really did.

[Kyle]

24 hours.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Che ingested it.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

So, yeah. Are you a superstitious guy? Is Che gonna have to eat a pebble every time you.

[Big Cat]

Absolutely.

[Brandon Walker]

That's what I'm thinking.

[Kate]

Every.

[Stephen Che]

I was wearing a, say, a Suzuki shirt. His first at bat had a home run.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, true. Then we lost.

[Stephen Che]

That was the only run.

[Brandon Walker]

So, yeah, you're owing to in 50 50.

[Big Cat]

Yes, I am, Steven also, I guess

[Kate]

Cubs have not won since the catch.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kate]

Cubs have not Won a game since the catch.

[Stephen Che]

That's true. All right, we're at Wrigley Field.

[Big Cat]

I asked Stephen, like, there was a line drive hit to say last night in right field. I was like, when you're watching now, are you thinking like, oh, that like, that was me. That was my catch. He's like, nah, that wasn't as good as mine.

[Stephen Che]

I mean, that one wasn't.

[Kyle]

Did your clip, like, take off online?

[Stephen Che]

I don't think so.

[Big Cat]

Oh, no, you gotta post it to

[Kyle]

like, R slash baseball. Yeah, they'll love it.

[Stephen Che]

I did show it to the assistant gm, which was cool.

[Big Cat]

No, he's the gm.

[Stephen Che]

He's the gm.

[Big Cat]

Okay. Offensive. Yeah, no, that was. He was trapped. I. I set up Carter Hawkins is awesome, dude. Who's gm? The Cubs. I. We were talking and I just. I kind of did the thing where I was like, oh, this guy over here. And I brought Stephen in and then he was just for like ten minutes.

[Stephen Che]

Ten good minutes.

[Big Cat]

But I even had his phone out being like, look at this catch to the general manager of the Chicago Cubs.

[Kate]

Yeah. And he watched him.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

He was like, Carter was standing, like, on the balcony ledge. Like, his really. The only escape he had was jumping over. And I saw he kept eyeballing, like, calculating, like, is it worth jumping?

[Big Cat]

This is a guy who has watched more baseball than like 99.9999 of the the world. And Steven's like, have you ever seen

[Brandon Walker]

a catch like this blurry video?

[Kyle]

How do you respond?

[Big Cat]

It was a blurry video.

[Brandon Walker]

What? How do you respond, Steve?

[Big Cat]

I think he said, oh, wow.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah,

[Kate]

wow.

[Kyle]

30, 40 yards.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. Nothing incredible, but it was. It was a nice talk. We had a good chat and I was the one that ended it. I was like, I don't want to take up too much your time. Last question, blah, blah.

[Big Cat]

So he really is like. Like, if a 7 year old knew how to take video of their own highlights and show everyone. That's what. You know what I mean?

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, that'd be dangerous.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

If Huddle was around. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Like, most people go around showing their kids highlights. Steven's like, no, check out my highlights.

[Stephen Che]

First thing I showed my kids this morning catch.

[Big Cat]

And then what'd they say about the catch? We can't really. Is that you, Daddy?

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

You couldn't see me.

[Big Cat]

Oh, man.

[Stephen Che]

And then I gave them the game used balls and they're. My daughter was like, both of them are like, these are dirty. And I was like, well, yeah, I made great catches with like, someone hit him. My T was Like, I want a clean ball.

[Big Cat]

And I was like, oh, tough.

[Nick]

And did you.

[Big Cat]

Was your wife like, where's my ball?

[Stephen Che]

No, she did not.

[Big Cat]

Okay, that have been great if she was just like, what the. How do you not get me a ball?

[Brandon Walker]

Did we ever get a hold of Cooperstown?

[Big Cat]

Yes, hopefully. Hopefully. Maybe today. Oh, wow.

[Stephen Che]

Which state?

[Brandon Walker]

Wisconsin?

[Stephen Che]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Dan]

I think it.

[Big Cat]

I think it could be happening in the next 20 minutes.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, my God.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. We could be getting Stephen Shea into Cooper's town.

[Jay]

Oh, yeah.

[Kyle]

Who'd you even contact? They don't have a mayor.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I know they have somebody like

[Brandon Walker]

a person that lives there.

[Big Cat]

Refer to him as Mr. Mayor. He's. There's. What do you say? Hold on, let me find it. I believe they're. They're chair chair people. He's one of the three.

[Dan]

Half.

[Stephen Che]

Half man.

[Kyle]

All right.

[Big Cat]

He's a chairperson.

[Titus]

Wow.

[Big Cat]

Aren't we all?

[Brandon Walker]

I guess so.

[Tate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I like chairs.

[Brandon Walker]

I'm a chairperson big time.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

How does that position like taking that aside. But if you're in a corporation, chairman of the board. Is that higher than CEO or president? What is.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, well, the chair. The chair. The chair. The board chair can decide on the hirings and firing.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah. They can oust the CEO.

[Stephen Che]

So chairman of the board is the top position in America.

[Big Cat]

Oh, man. Now he's asking questions. Now we're at that point of the show.

[Brandon Walker]

I'm going to say something dumb.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

We're going to get into some dumb. I don't know if he's the top position, but the chair. The board can get the pre. Can hire and fire a president.

[Stephen Che]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

So the person who's like the board

[Kate]

chairman of the board's like the top senator.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

And the president. The CEO is the president.

[Brandon Walker]

Then what's the president?

[Big Cat]

He can't personally get the president fired, but he can bring the board together to vote on getting him.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Is the president or CEO on the board or no?

[Big Cat]

No, usually not. Right, right.

[Kate]

I think my. And how does the buy experience at Fortune 500s.

[Brandon Walker]

I think of succession but I remember ever had.

[Big Cat]

Do you think like as a collective we could put together like a halfway decent resume or like all of us putting our pets put our best stuff. I don't to get hired. We should try to get hired at like a. A Fortune 500 company with just a

[Brandon Walker]

combo Ohio State undergrad masters.

[Kyle]

Yeah. Lifeguard at a haunted lagoon.

[Nick]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

Caterpillars.

[Brandon Walker]

What about caterpillars?

[Big Cat]

You didn't you do the caterpillar exhibit?

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, I was the millipede.

[Big Cat]

Millipede, Sorry. We'll keep that off those caterpillars.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, it's a little bit more enticing. We would have been in on it, wheelchairing overweight people. Yeah, I know. We would not. We're unmirable as a collective.

[Big Cat]

So basically, Stephen, everything we just said about.

[Dan]

We.

[Big Cat]

We spoke confidently about it, but I don't know if we're right.

[Stephen Che]

Zan knows.

[Big Cat]

Oh, Zah. I was just explaining that the shareholders own the company. They elect the board. The board then hires and fires the CEO.

[Tate]

Right. Where.

[Stephen Che]

Where does. The chairman of. The chairman of the board is the top of the board.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that's the top dog. He's the one that's convening the board meeting.

[Nick]

Pretty much.

[Big Cat]

He sets the agenda, calls it.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, but that's the most powerful guy.

[Big Cat]

The most powerful are the owners because they're the ones that focus. The owners, the stakeholders, shareholders, because they're the ones that vote for the people that are on the board.

[Kate]

So it's not like.

[Kyle]

What business are we talking about?

[Big Cat]

Just, I think anything general publicly traded

[Kyle]

on, like, the stock exchange chairman was like, just a broad term, ambiguous.

[Kate]

It's not a linear thing, Jay. It's not like a human centipede, the business structure. It's not like there's a guy who.

[Stephen Che]

Then Zuckerberg, the top dog. He's the owner. Right.

[Big Cat]

So Zuckerberg owns shares in Facebook.

[Brandon Walker]

He has a majority, though.

[Big Cat]

He has. He has the shares with the voting rights. He's the one that elects the people that are on the board.

[Stephen Che]

Right, so he's the CEO and the.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, so. Yeah, well, he founded it so he can stack the board.

[Kate]

He.

[Big Cat]

He doesn't put people on the board that are not Zuckerberg fans. Does that make sense?

[Stephen Che]

Okay, but he is not chairman of the board.

[Big Cat]

I do not believe so.

[Kate]

I have no idea.

[Stephen Che]

So then someone has to be above him, right?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, but he. Man, we need someone to help us. Wait, Large is here.

[Dan]

Large.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yeah, that's right. Is Large over there? We need him. Wow, what a day to have.

[Kate]

Large. Large, we need you bad. Large.

[Big Cat]

Finally, we have an adult.

[Kate]

Large. For the love of God.

[Big Cat]

It just feels like a Big.

[Kate]

Large.

[Nick]

Large.

[Dan]

Help. Large. Get your.

[Big Cat]

Please, Please.

[Kate]

Large.

[Big Cat]

A life alert or something. Large, we're talking about. We don't know. Hey, are you free for a second? Yeah, we're.

[Stephen Che]

We're.

[Big Cat]

We need you on the act. We're in a bad spot.

[Tate]

Gotcha.

[Nick]

All right, bye.

[Brandon Walker]

What's.

[Big Cat]

He's the perfect person.

[Brandon Walker]

He's the founder.

[Big Cat]

Chick.

[Tate]

Oh, man.

[Big Cat]

All right, Che, get your questions ready. He's everything.

[Brandon Walker]

It's his.

[Tate]

Made the company does what he wants.

[Kate]

He does it in his.

[Big Cat]

It's like date. This is also what he wants.

[Jay]

More.

[Big Cat]

This is more to the. Remember how we found out that Minzy's a dog?

[Kyle]

Yes.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And now we're finding out that Che is just a seven year old boy in a man's body. This is perfectly seven year old boy behavior where like my kids will ask me questions and I know the answer to the first couple, but then they'll keep asking and I'll be like, help. I don't know. That's what he does to us.

[Kate]

Right?

[Big Cat]

He's so curious. And yeah. We have just such a. A base level of knowledge. Not even that can't go. We're an inch deep, mile wide on everything.

[Kyle]

Yeah, we really are.

[Big Cat]

And then he keeps asking us to drill.

[Tate]

There is no.

[Brandon Walker]

All Steve does is expose us.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, he does.

[Dan]

He.

[Big Cat]

He's a benevolent exposer.

[Brandon Walker]

Yes, incidental. Benevolent exposure, sir.

[Big Cat]

All right, Large, get in here. We got into some. We, we.

[Kyle]

We need help.

[Big Cat]

Don't mind the Chick Fil A. All right, go ahead. So we put on the headphones.

[Dan]

Yeah. All right.

[Stephen Che]

Large. Welcome.

[Nick]

Hey.

[Stephen Che]

Chairman of the board is a position in a company that is publicly traded.

[Nick]

Right.

[Stephen Che]

But where does that sit? Who has more power between the CEO and president, chairman of the board, the board owners and others. And it appears that Mark Zuckerberg is several of these.

[Brandon Walker]

About a 20 part question.

[Nick]

Yeah, that's a big one.

[Stephen Che]

So explain this to us like we don't know anything.

[Nick]

So if you're a private company, you don't have a board, you don't need a board. But once you decide to sell stock to raise money to do more with your to your company, then you develop a board and a chairman of that board gets elected and starts to make more decisions. So Dave, as an owner, if he was to sell Barstool tomorrow to someplace like Penn, then Penn all of a sudden develops a board. This didn't happen.

[Big Cat]

Do a hypothetical that actually makes.

[Nick]

Okay, so let's say I have a sandwich.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, there we go.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Nick]

So I have a sandwich shop. I live in Jersey now, so let's call it Jersey Mike's. And then I sell it, you know, to like some private equity company. Or I sell it or I go listed. And the people who are now owners are the people who have stock in my Jersey Mike's. So they elect a board, they elect a chairman. And that chairman is the guy who then takes over for me as far as making most of the decisions. Because they're making decisions on the. You're scared half of the shareholders. So you give up a certain degree of ownership and decision making process when you decide to go public. And there's all different, you know, setups. So it doesn't work the same from company to company. Dave's a perfect example. He wasn't giving up creative of whatever and neither did Penn want him to give up creative. But in general, yeah, the chairman of the board does take over the decision making process for the guy who essentially, you know, started the stock.

[Stephen Che]

So they're the top dog.

[Nick]

Yeah, they're usually the top dog.

[Stephen Che]

Got it.

[Big Cat]

But they also need the board to vote on stuff they can't.

[Nick]

Right. So it's sort. Yeah. So it's sort of. We'll pull it back. Like the government. Right. Like is the president in charge or is Congress in charge? Like Congress has been.

[Kate]

Right, yeah.

[Nick]

Understood. Yeah. So. Yeah, so. So Marco's right. So, you know, so you try to move the decision making process to a more democratic process.

[Kate]

But I think, I think Steve wanted like a. Just a linear. Like this guy is number one, this guy's number two, this guy's number three.

[Kyle]

Yeah. Well, it sounds like there's a role

[Kate]

necessarily work that way where there's like,

[Nick]

yeah, so I'm authoritarian.

[Kate]

And then like no one answered. Everybody interested me. And then there's a guy below him is like, everybody answers to me except for the guy. One guy above me. And then.

[Nick]

So Steve, are you. Are you afraid that Jersey Mike's is going to start making sandwiches that I don't like and I won't have anything to do with it because the board is now in control? Because that's partially something that does happen.

[Big Cat]

If that scares you, scare me.

[Nick]

You seem scared when I was talking. Maybe I misread that. I apologize.

[Stephen Che]

I just don't know. I don't think any of us know this.

[Nick]

Okay.

[Stephen Che]

So. Yeah, I'm trying to figure out. Right.

[Big Cat]

We kind of got it.

[Kate]

Can I also like, I mean, that was. This was a. You think, Jay? I mean, I feel like we kind of. We kind of had a basic.

[Brandon Walker]

I would have never brought this up.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah.

[Titus]

I feel like a lot of times like a rich retired lady will be on the board of something, say I want it. Say I have like stock in Microsoft or I work there or something, but I'm just like a low level nobody. Can I be like, you know what I'm running for the board and then like run a campaign like I'm running for high school president or something. Like, how could anybody be on a board?

[Nick]

Yeah. So if you own stock, you have the opportunity to vote, like anyone who's a shareholder. And again, this changes a little bit from stock to stock. But if you have a position in a stock, whether it's a share or it's a million shares, you do get a say in who gets elected. So you could say, hey, listen, I'd like to throw my hat in the ring. And as a small shareholder, you don't have any fucking shot. Right. Because it's diluted a bunch, you know, amongst a bunch of shareholders who don't know who you are and in general. And some stocks are voting stocks and non voting stocks. So you'll have. I used to trade Viacom. Everyone kind of remembers Viacom. Yeah, Viacom and Viacom B. Viacom A was more expensive because you did have the opportunity to vote on what was going on. And Viacom B was more of like a trading vehicle. And if somebody owned shares of Icon B, they had no say on what happened in the boardroom. They just got to take part in whether stock went up or down.

[Big Cat]

And what I was saying to Stephen is when you, when you have a lot of stock in a company like a Zuckerberg, you're gonna make a board. You have the ability to make a board that is very pro. Zuckerberg.

[Nick]

Yeah, and Zuckerberg too. I don't, I don't know the, the, the math of it. Is Zuckerberg, a 51% owner, like, that's where the rub is.

[Tate]

Right?

[Dan]

Right.

[Nick]

You. As soon as you give up a majority in the, in the stock in the company, then you get less and less saying it. You can also be an owner who has a spot on the board, so your voice is also heard. But if you're going to be owner, president, chairman, all that stuff, I, I don't think that often that happens that often. You, you, you create a board to make decisions because you're only one man and you want like a room full of intelligent people trying to make decisions for your company. That makes sense.

[Stephen Che]

Okay, that does make sense.

[Nick]

Okay. Hey.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Dan]

All right.

[Brandon Walker]

Large, you've done the impossible.

[Nick]

All right.

[Kate]

Yeah, you have. That's, that's, that's literally never happened.

[Big Cat]

Okay, great.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah.

[Tate]

No.

[Brandon Walker]

No further questions.

[Kate]

All right.

[Big Cat]

No, no. One, One. One other question.

[Kate]

Large.

[Big Cat]

What. What happened before?

[Kate]

Zero.

[Big Cat]

What happened before? Christ.

[Dan]

How.

[Big Cat]

How far did that go?

[Brandon Walker]

I don't have the.

[Nick]

What Is this Stephen again?

[Big Cat]

No, we had this discussion yesterday or two days ago, and we people were. It was kind of like. What was the mean girl pod? The dinosaurs. Yeah.

[Nick]

Oh, okay.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Jesus lived till 30. So when he was 15, what year was it?

[Brandon Walker]

The 33.

[Kate]

Right, 33.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah.

[Dan]

I was 33.

[Kyle]

We didn't know this.

[Kate]

Yeah, His.

[Brandon Walker]

His age always kind of lined up with the year for him.

[Big Cat]

Before Christ is bc.

[Kyle]

You get that, right, Jay?

[Big Cat]

Before Christ.

[Kate]

So when he's born, that's kind of the easiest one.

[Jay]

Yeah, that was.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. We didn't know how far back it went.

[Nick]

December 25th in Bethlehem was day one. You can count on from there on out.

[Stephen Che]

But then A.D. once he dies, a new calendar starts.

[Brandon Walker]

No, we keep going. We're still in A.D. what are you asking?

[Nick]

You're saying B.C. versus A.D. what?

[Stephen Che]

Wait, A.D. doesn't stand for after?

[Jay]

No.

[Kyle]

Auto Domini, Year of our Lord.

[Titus]

You think that meant after death?

[Big Cat]

Thank you for really pronouncing it there.

[Brandon Walker]

A D. You're telling me AD doesn't mean after death?

[Kyle]

D. So now you get it.

[Stephen Che]

Now I get it.

[Brandon Walker]

There we go. So did you not know we were in AD Right now?

[Stephen Che]

I did. Oh. But you can see where I faltered on that. No.

[Nick]

No. So maybe you guys can.

[Brandon Walker]

I don't know about.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Nick]

History with Stephen, but every time I do, I love it.

[Brandon Walker]

So, Che, when Jesus was six, what year was it?

[Stephen Che]

Six.

[Big Cat]

Okay, here we go. Got it.

[Nick]

It's a big day.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dan]

All right.

[Big Cat]

Large, you're the best.

[Kate]

Yeah, that was Large.

[Big Cat]

You might need to be our on call for these.

[Brandon Walker]

I wouldn't mind that at all.

[Big Cat]

Just an adult.

[Brandon Walker]

He just.

[Big Cat]

We need an adult.

[Stephen Che]

He deals with.

[Big Cat]

Steve, help. All right, I. Brandon's got Chick fil A's here. I'm gonna try to lure them back in.

[Titus]

Like leave a little.

[Big Cat]

Oh, oh. Can you do the Reese's read?

[Stephen Che]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Reese's. There's something for everyone when it comes to Reese's. Kyle got me on those outrageous bars. Unbelievable. They have the. Kate. What are those? Chocolate covered.

[Titus]

Oh, God.

[Brandon Walker]

Little berries there.

[Titus]

I eat them by the bag.

[Brandon Walker]

I know, I know. I do too. I keep it. I eat the whole bag every time I open it. Even though it reseals. Yep.

[Titus]

Brooksides.

[Brandon Walker]

It's the going up there. I looted the room this past weekend, filled up a backpack, left with it, stocked up. I need to already restock. It's the best. We're very thankful for them. Yeah. It's Reese's. These official candy partner of Barstool.

[Stephen Che]

Sports.

[Brandon Walker]

Get your Reese's wherever you shop.

[Titus]

I've been crushing the take fives.

[Brandon Walker]

Just an overwhelming amount of options. I don't know which ones to go with every single time.

[Titus]

It's the Brooksides. They're so.

[Stephen Che]

That's what it is.

[Titus]

They're so good. Yep. And it's. There's fruit inside, so it's.

[Dan]

Convince yourself.

[Titus]

It's. Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

I wasn't expecting Brandon to be gone this long.

[Titus]

No.

[Brandon Walker]

I think. Is he actually mad?

[Titus]

He might be.

[Brandon Walker]

Seems like it. I think that was a pretty easy. We just misheard.

[Titus]

Yeah. You guys didn't want get me pregnant.

[Brandon Walker]

We've all tried.

[Titus]

Don't put yourself down like that. Okay.

[Brandon Walker]

Did you, like. Was it weird for you? White Sox. Dave wearing Pat's jacket.

[Titus]

He lives right near us, and he didn't have a jean jacket. And people were encouraged to wear a jean jacket to the movie premiere last night. And he asked me, kate, does Pat have a jean jacket? I said yes, without realizing. Pat's jean jacket has his last name really big on the back.

[Brandon Walker]

He looks sober.

[Titus]

He looks like an absolute lunatic.

[Brandon Walker]

And then he said, we need to normalize wearing other men's names on our back. He forgot about jerseys.

[Titus]

He did.

[Brandon Walker]

That's a popular item.

[Titus]

Well, Pat gave him, like, four or five different options for a gene. It does. And. And he picked the one that said Cassidy on the back.

[Brandon Walker]

He was flaunting it, which is, like, a unique choice on the red carpet.

[Stephen Che]

He.

[Brandon Walker]

He went around and did this whole move with the thumbs.

[Titus]

We're in quite the triangle now, it seems.

[Kate]

I know. I know.

[Stephen Che]

Because it's.

[Brandon Walker]

That had to have been, like, uncomfortable for me.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Maybe I'll wear it to camp for you.

[Titus]

Would you guys wear a jean jacket with another man's name on the back?

[Big Cat]

I feel like it'd be harder to

[Brandon Walker]

get a jean jacket with another man's name on the back than a normal jean jacket. It's not like a normal thing. Levi's white sucks.

[Titus]

Dave borrowed one from my Pat last night. So he wore a jean jacket to the premiere that said Cassidy and Titus.

[Brandon Walker]

Dave said we need to normalize wearing other men's names on our backs back.

[Kate]

Really?

[Brandon Walker]

He.

[Kate]

That.

[Brandon Walker]

But, like, there's. There's a big product out there with other men's names on the back.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

That you guys wear a lot.

[Kate]

Right. And he doesn't. That's shocking. I know.

[Brandon Walker]

I figured he'd hate that.

[Kate]

He would hate that. Yeah.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

He seems like a guy who's anti jersey for sure. I believe he is.

[Kate]

Yeah, that's. That's stunning that he would. It almost feels like he wore that. Didn't think anything of it. And then when he was called out, he like came up with that reasoning of like, oh, we didn't want you

[Big Cat]

start doing it on Thursdays.

[Brandon Walker]

Why did he pick the cast? Did he know that's Pat's last name?

[Titus]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I don't know. I mean, one of the jean jackets had like a, like chainsaw guy on the back, so that was kind of like a weird thing. But cool. But yeah. I don't know. Teach. To each their own.

[Kate]

I was Cody. Was Cody trying to be KB on purpose?

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, he's mad.

[Dan]

But I didn't.

[Big Cat]

I. I know, I know, I know, I know.

[Kate]

Boy, mistake. I kind of want to pile on him now.

[Tate]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Cuz I kind of feel like he's going to come in and be mopey and then we got to like.

[Brandon Walker]

Brandon, we're sorry we misheard you.

[Kate]

Yeah, yeah, sorry, Brandon. Sorry my foot was in the way when you spiked the drink. Should have given you more one.

[Big Cat]

Oh, what?

[Dan]

He's the worst one.

[Kyle]

Clean that up. Him.

[Jay]

I know.

[Kyle]

Brandon, I'll get your broken cup.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, you want to reuse your old straw? You love that straw.

[Dan]

Yeah, I did like that straw.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh no, dude,

[Dan]

he's the worst one.

[Brandon Walker]

Brandon, we know, we know. It's okay. He's a bad guy.

[Titus]

Nick, put the bosom on. Feed him his sweet tea through the breasts.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, Brandon, you want to eat the. You want to eat the chicken out of a titty?

[Big Cat]

That was. Brandon, can we just say though, it's the worst one in terms of. In terms of.

[Dan]

In terms.

[Big Cat]

In terms of blowups. That one was awesome.

[Kate]

That was a really good.

[Big Cat]

That was such a good one. Like we all were like, we all were like. That was sick.

[Brandon Walker]

Did you break your headphones?

[Kate]

But cuz I think. I think for me what made it so sick was like, it was such a. Like small thing.

[Dan]

Yeah, but small things add up, man.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that's true.

[Dan]

Small things add up. And my hips are sore from yesterday. Connor parked in my spot. Like, like, it's just.

[Brandon Walker]

This was the straw that broke it.

[Dan]

What are you doing?

[Big Cat]

I'm physically trying to stop myself from saying so back to the impregnating Kate. And I did. I stopped myself myself.

[Dan]

I just want to say right now. This is full. This one's full. That one was half full.

[Brandon Walker]

I don't think you'll do it.

[Dan]

This one's full.

[Jay]

Full.

[Brandon Walker]

I Like these amounts.

[Big Cat]

You're also a worse one.

[Kate]

I am.

[Big Cat]

I think your pictures are great.

[Dan]

No, you don't.

[Big Cat]

They actually were better than the iPhone.

[Dan]

You haven't seen them yet?

[Big Cat]

No. When you showed me last night, you had a better picture of the guy with the ball coming out of it.

[Dan]

I'll take them off the memory card tonight.

[Big Cat]

Can we do a. Can we do a Brandon Walker art show day?

[Dan]

I would love that.

[Big Cat]

That would be great. We can get them blown up on easels. Your 20 best pictures.

[Dan]

I would love that.

[Big Cat]

I bet you we could do an auction.

[Dan]

Was Large here.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, he. You would have loved. He helped us understand something that we were really struggling with.

[Dan]

What was it?

[Big Cat]

Chairman of the board.

[Titus]

Chairman of the board.

[Kate]

We, again, like, we weren't really struggling.

[Big Cat]

No, we kind of nailed it.

[Kate]

Stephen. Stephen was struggling.

[Big Cat]

Large just did a better job.

[Stephen Che]

Don't pretend like you guys knew this.

[Kate]

Really said exactly what Large said.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Okay. Remember when Large explained the economy to us?

[Titus]

Yes. That was.

[Kate]

I'm not. I'm not wearing that one. Steve. You're on your own there.

[Titus]

That was great.

[Brandon Walker]

My hair's on.

[Dan]

Oh.

[Titus]

Oh, Cooperstown.

[Brandon Walker]

Yes, Mr. Mayor. How is it?

[Big Cat]

How you doing, Mr. Mayor? Great, great, great.

[Tate]

Hey, we.

[Brandon Walker]

We saw your catch the other day, and it's pretty good for a girl your size. That's some Wisconsin humor.

[Big Cat]

I love it. So. So, Mr. Mayor. Nick is your name, right?

[Brandon Walker]

Yes, sir.

[Big Cat]

What. How big is Cooperstown, Wisconsin?

[Brandon Walker]

We got about, I don't know, 2,000

[Tate]

people, maybe a thousand five hundred. I don't even know. I just get elected because nobody else

[Titus]

will do the job.

[Big Cat]

Okay, okay. So what, is there, like a city hall or anything? We do have a town hall. Okay. Okay. So is there anywhere we would like to donate the ball that Stephen Che caught at Wrigley Yesterday, which was 30 yards on the fly? Incredible catch. He signed it. We wanted. It deserves to be in Cooperstown. And so we thought we would love to donate to you. If you guys would accept.

[Dan]

We could.

[Big Cat]

We could make it a whole thing. We could bring it up to you.

[Brandon Walker]

We would gladly accept this if you deliver us. I could get you an address. You can mail it up here.

[Kyle]

And I mean, as a.

[Brandon Walker]

As a first person to ever, you know, get one in here. We'll give you a signed Christian Yellowsters.

[Dan]

Oh.

[Big Cat]

Oh, wow.

[Tate]

That's why.

[Kyle]

I'm just kidding.

[Big Cat]

We're not giving you that. Where are. What are you doing right now?

[Kyle]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

We cut trees for a living, so.

[Kyle]

I mean, the.

[Brandon Walker]

The mayor doesn't pay Very much so. I gotta just cut trees on the side.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

This is awesome.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Well, Che, any words?

[Stephen Che]

I accept. I. I'm very excited. We will get to this ball.

[Brandon Walker]

I was the one that got to accept.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kyle]

He does that.

[Brandon Walker]

He'll. He'll make it his own.

[Stephen Che]

Thank you.

[Brandon Walker]

There we go. I'm honored.

[Dan]

I'm excited.

[Stephen Che]

We're gonna get. We're gonna get this ball to Cooperstown where it belongs. And thank you very much. I'm honored.

[Big Cat]

We'll be glad to have it, pal. I like this guy.

[Titus]

Me too.

[Big Cat]

I like this guy a lot.

[Kate]

Can we drop it off on the way to camp?

[Big Cat]

I'm gonna. I'm looking right the way.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

So if we go. Yeah. If we go up to Cooperstown, what should we do while we're up there?

[Big Cat]

Good taverns up here.

[Brandon Walker]

You know, a little bottoms up action. We got. We got all start doubled down.

[Tate]

Oh, yeah.

[Big Cat]

There's a couple gentlemen's clubs down the road.

[Brandon Walker]

Bonkers. You got bonkers. Oh, how's bonkers, Mr. Mayor?

[Kate]

Bonkers.

[Tate]

It's. It's. You can get a little more handsy

[Big Cat]

than oval office in Green Bay.

[Brandon Walker]

Sanitizer, I'll tell you that. Shay, do you want to go to bunkers?

[Big Cat]

I want to go to bonkers.

[Kyle]

Have to.

[Brandon Walker]

It gets a little handsy. From what end?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kate]

What side are you up?

[Kyle]

They assault you?

[Brandon Walker]

You're getting assault.

[Big Cat]

Well, you be back and forth.

[Kyle]

Oh, mutual combat.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, look at Bonkers.

[Kyle]

Yeah, I love that.

[Kate]

Bonkers.

[Big Cat]

Oh, my God.

[Brandon Walker]

Incredible.

[Jay]

Hell yeah.

[Tate]

Hold on.

[Big Cat]

I'm trying to map this out right now. I think. I think what we're going to do is. And we'll be in touch with you, but I think what we can do is Che will maybe leave early for camp and he can stop by Cooperstown to maybe during the yak on that Monday and. And give you guys the ball.

[Tate]

We can make it work. We.

[Big Cat]

We can definitely make this work.

[Titus]

I have a question. Can you also get Che up in a tree since you're.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, absolutely. Take up in a tree, throw him out of a tree.

[Nick]

Whatever you want.

[Brandon Walker]

Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

[Kyle]

Wonderful.

[Big Cat]

What'd you say?

[Stephen Che]

Do you guys have zip lines?

[Big Cat]

We can make some.

[Brandon Walker]

I mean, I got.

[Big Cat]

If you look me up on YouTube,

[Brandon Walker]

I got a failed zipline video. That was not good. We'll be doing that really, really soon.

[Big Cat]

All right, well, Mr. Mayor, thank you so much. We'll be in touch. I think it's gonna be in the. Towards the end of August. Shay is going to be coming up and he'll.

[Tate]

We'll.

[Big Cat]

We'll make it look nice. It'll be all signed and everything. And hopefully we can display it in the town hall.

[Tate]

Hey.

[Brandon Walker]

All right. God bless.

[Big Cat]

All right. Thank you so much, Nick. Appreciate it.

[Dan]

All right.

[Big Cat]

See ya.

[Kate]

Thank you, Mayor.

[Titus]

That guy rocks.

[Kyle]

What a character.

[Big Cat]

Oh, here he is.

[Brandon Walker]

Massive redneck zipline fail. We got this other lift down over here. And we're gonna run a zip line over top of these.

[Stephen Che]

That DeMartino.

[Big Cat]

It looks like Cliff.

[Brandon Walker]

So I think this is gonna work.

[Big Cat]

I'm pretty confident about it.

[Brandon Walker]

We're gonna go way up in the air here. And then we're gonna go over there.

[Kyle]

We're gonna.

[Brandon Walker]

We're gonna drop from like. I don't know, like 40ft.

[Tate]

And it's gonna be okay.

[Brandon Walker]

We think a little scared, but it'll work. Okay, bye.

[Big Cat]

Two times 200. What are they doing?

[Brandon Walker]

Physics.

[Big Cat]

This makes me nervous.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, my God.

[Big Cat]

This makes me nervous.

[Titus]

They're going out of a cherry picker.

[Kyle]

Here we go, boy.

[Jay]

Oh.

[Big Cat]

Oh. He wasn't lying.

[Brandon Walker]

The math wasn't right.

[Big Cat]

The math wasn't right.

[Kyle]

What a fail it was.

[Kate]

That's the mayor of the town.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

The last thing being your leader that was said was this makes me nervous. Did it Anyway.

[Brandon Walker]

I left them huddled over like, what seemed to be pretty advanced math.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, they were.

[Dan]

Is that what made him mayor?

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Oh, it had to have been. Yeah. They were doing like Oppenheimer calculations.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Boom.

[Brandon Walker]

Two graphing calculators.

[Titus]

Also. Was that a scissor lift to Scissor lift zip line.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh. I don't know where was surrounded by forest.

[Kate]

He had over a body of water.

[Dan]

Yeah. Small pond there and a road.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

He was willing to die.

[Big Cat]

Has nothing to lose.

[Kate]

That guy was awesome.

[Titus]

What a fine.

[Kate]

The second he popped off.

[Kyle]

This man hasn't been to a home in years.

[Stephen Che]

He had no clue what the population was.

[Big Cat]

No.

[Stephen Che]

None.

[Brandon Walker]

Stephen.

[Big Cat]

This works out perfect. So I just looked at it. It's only a 20 minute detour.

[Kyle]

Great.

[Big Cat]

On the Monday that we're the. I think we're going to camp after the yak on that Monday. So you'll go with maybe Wyatt or someone else with the streaming backpack.

[Titus]

No, I'm picturing a small shed.

[Stephen Che]

I think it'll fit the baseball for sure.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, Jay, you're gonna can it fit a baseball.

Imagine if this becomes like a.

[Kate]

[Big Cat]

And now we're going to go way better.

[Brandon Walker]

Now we're.

[Big Cat]

We have tj. Can we do that? Can we do a. A live yak from Cooperstown? I assume we're bringing all the equipment up, Right?

[Brandon Walker]

There's parking for Mints and Jerry. Are you saying during camp?

[Big Cat]

No, the Monday before. So we're doing camp. Camp is Monday. Like, everyone's getting there. Monday night, Tuesday, Thursday, or Tuesday? Wednesday.

[Jay]

Thursday.

[Big Cat]

I looked at the map. It's about two and a half hours from Chicago, and then it's another two hours to where camp is not out of the way. So he would just go on that Monday morning, do the yak, and then go to camp

[Stephen Che]

Monday, August 24th.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

I love. Just a picture with a gal made the.

[Stephen Che]

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, that's, like, not really a good way to get it into the act, but we have. We have ways to do it. Like, the streaming backpack doesn't, like, connect into our system.

[Dan]

Oh. It's its own thing.

[Brandon Walker]

It sends its own signal out to YouTube.

[Big Cat]

Got it.

[Titus]

What if Jay had to, like, create a quick compilation with this guy of awesome stuff? Like, he's got to blow something up, do a zip line.

[Dan]

We prepare for Che to look that awesome.

[Jay]

We.

[Brandon Walker]

We have a different way to do it that we could do it.

Have more time on the way back.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, but the way back is like, you know. Yeah, but everyone wants to get back.

Is that what they asked? We go back, Drock the man. Do the Harlem.

[Kate]

That's so.

[Big Cat]

That's true. They probably made so much fun.

[Brandon Walker]

Did you get any feeling in your legs from that or.

[Dan]

No?

[Big Cat]

No, I don't still nothing.

[Kyle]

Awesome.

[Brandon Walker]

They were trying to cure him.

[Big Cat]

They're just great dudes.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Nothing like asking your paralyzed friend if he's got feeling in his legs. Drock. Oh my God. What else?

[Kyle]

There's a lot like there's like more epic bridge swings from him himself.

[Jay]

Holy.

[Kate]

This guy. He might be my all time number one favorite guy that we've stumbled across.

[Big Cat]

I think he's gonna win guesses

[Dan]

loaded category at this point.

[Kate]

What I I from the moment he appeared on our screen. Just like the way he set up like his.

[Big Cat]

Should I have him Wardrobe.

[Kyle]

The way his camera was.

[Kate]

The camera was set. Everything. He's standing in a road and. And we think we're about to see a mayor. And I'm not exactly picturing a three piece suit or an office, but like I thought like some presentation of like professional whatever. And it's the guy in a road with a vest on.

[Big Cat]

Filthy. What was he doing?

[Titus]

He's I. My brain was like Charlie Kelly. Yes. Charlie Kelly. Yeah. I feel energized right now. I feel like motivated I guess.

[Jay]

Oh.

[Big Cat]

We accidentally found the greatest fella of all time.

[Brandon Walker]

Truly.

[Big Cat]

We've been doing well every Friday and we just stumbled upon the number one fella. Like it's not even a it, it's a blowout. He's a true definition of a fella

[Brandon Walker]

because no one's watching on a random Thursday. We ended fella Friday.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Forever.

[Brandon Walker]

He's fellow of the year of the millennia.

[Stephen Che]

[Kyle]

Fire jump of death 41 speedway.

[Brandon Walker]

That Harlem Shake killed out of nowhere.

[Big Cat]

Like imagine what the Harlem Shake era when they had that. The videos they made. Roback Roebuck activewear.

[Nick]

Best fit, best feel.

[Big Cat]

Summer wardrobe check. Let's run through what Roback has going on right now because it's a lot swim trunks. Honestly, some of the best designs out there. Quick dry four way stretch and a liner that is so comfortable that you're going to want to keep it in pool, lake, boat, beach. Doesn't matter. These are built for all of it. Then tees. They're tailwind tees are the best beach tee out there. Soft, stretchy and they actually look good. Not some stiff scratchy thing you wear once and forget about. These are an everyday go to and for Polos. The Sweater Polo and the tailwind polo are both filthy. The sweater Polo is a sleeper. Nobody saw it coming from Roback. But it's super comfortable and ridiculously clean looking. The Tailwind Polo's butter soft. Clean looking, easy to throw on anywhere. Honestly, just build the whole summer wardrobe From Roback and don't think about it. Go to roback.com r h o b a c k dot com. Use code Yak for 20 off your first purchase. Best fit, best feel. Roback. I'm gonna see.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

If he can come back.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it might be too late now because he. I think he. He's working and he said he had to get his computer. We'll get him back tomorrow maybe.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Dan]

If he's taking down a tree, that's.

[Brandon Walker]

I don't think that would stop him.

[Big Cat]

You call in because we can also

[Dan]

up on top of a tree better.

[Big Cat]

This guy, man. The greatest fellow ever.

[Dan]

I like that he. I like being left wanting more.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, true.

[Brandon Walker]

Because he could have told us all of that. He doesn't want.

[Dan]

He just dropped the one hit, right?

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah. I want to see him on Price is Right.

[Kate]

Right?

[Dan]

Dude, Chay, was it you that asked about the zipline?

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, he wouldn't have even brought it up.

[Dan]

You're unlocking everything.

[Big Cat]

Oh man, Shay, you're crushing.

[Brandon Walker]

Question is the key.

[Big Cat]

What a question. He really is. He's a glue. Yes, he's a glue to the show.

[Stephen Che]

Wow. Yeah. You accept that guy has so much to uncover.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

They want to knock out the other one.

[Big Cat]

Oh no, enough. The other one.

[Kate]

[Dan]

What a twist.

[Big Cat]

Holy man. How many videos does he have, Kyle?

[Kyle]

He has a lot.

[Big Cat]

He has a lot.

[Kyle]

They're all like seemingly equally epic.

[Big Cat]

He doesn't post no misses.

[Kate]

He has not missed yet as far as we can tell.

[Big Cat]

I don't even know what to say. What do you do? What do you do after this?

[Brandon Walker]

I just need more. I need more.

[Big Cat]

Like, I almost think we should end the act forever.

[Brandon Walker]

It's done. Ending of the act.

[Big Cat]

We've done our job. This was all leading to finding this guy. And we did.

[Brandon Walker]

I always wondered like, what is the light at the end of the tunnel? It's six year old boy punching six year old stranger. So I'm reading about his price is right appearance. He came up to like, do the initial bid for the, like, the first product. He just said $1 million.

[Big Cat]

All right. He's in for tomorrow because he couldn't get on his phone. We'll talk to him till tomorrow. He said $1 million, which didn't.

[Brandon Walker]

They couldn't fit on the board. He had to retry.

[Big Cat]

Can we find his episode?

[Brandon Walker]

We can't watch it.

[Big Cat]

All right. Can you find it though and send it to us so we can watch tonight? I feel like we got to do our research.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

What was the product? What was he guessing the price for?

[Big Cat]

Kyle, what'd you get?

[Kyle]

I'm blowing up dishwasher is interesting. He blows it up epically. And then all of his boys are just fast asleep on the. On the ground.

[Kate]

Well, I gotta watch this.

[Titus]

[Big Cat]

[Dan]

Dishwasher go boom.

[Brandon Walker]

All right. We're gonna blow up the dishwasher for Christmas.

[Big Cat]

You say for Christmas.

[Dan]

They're northern Wisconsin.

[Titus]

It's pretty green.

[Dan]

They're.

[Brandon Walker]

It ain't Christmas. How many people around gonna die?

[Dan]

Okay.

[Nick]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

Oh, okay.

[Kyle]

After this, friends are just asleep.

[Big Cat]

I kind of want to hire him as an editor.

[Brandon Walker]

That's good.

[Dan]

It settles and then. And then. Yeah, that's a good boom. It's flying at us.

[Big Cat]

Holy.

[Kate]

A lot of debris out of pieces.

[Brandon Walker]

This.

[Titus]

Okay.

[Stephen Che]

All right.

[Dan]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

There he is.

[Dan]

Little slow mo left on this. Redo it real quick.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. One more time at full speed.

[Brandon Walker]

Good.

[Big Cat]

[Dan]

[Big Cat]

Oh.

[Dan]

Oh, you just throw one in there. Yeah. Bonus.

[Big Cat]

Awesome jump. Oh, man. We gotta. I think you gotta go to that, Jay, because it clear. Clearly that's a setup they have.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

That's the road from the.

[Dan]

This is all 10 or 11 years ago.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, but they say.

[Kate]

Right.

[Big Cat]

You think they stopped doing that?

[Dan]

They might have been. He might be grown now. I don't know. He's a mayor.

[Big Cat]

It's true.

[Kyle]

He's a mayor.

[Kate]

He gave.

[Tate]

He gave up.

[Big Cat]

That's the old nick. Yeah.

[Dan]

I mean, it's all. None of this is from like the last five years.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yeah.

[Titus]

But I bet Tooth kid is carrying the torch now. We'd hope him and his buddies. Wow.

[Kate]

That's incredible.

[Big Cat]

Kyle, you're true. You're in love.

[Titus]

Just

[Kate]

props.

[Brandon Walker]

Bidding a million dollars on an exercise bike.

[Big Cat]

This is like, you know, everyone's like, you know, there's always. There's someone out there for you. That's what this show just found.

[Titus]

Huh.

[Brandon Walker]

But I don't know who is. He's for everybody.

[Tate]

Funny.

[Big Cat]

You know I'm saying. But yeah, like he, like we found true love.

[Dan]

It was built for us to find it.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

It was instant.

[Brandon Walker]

It kind of makes me how many other guys out there.

[Big Cat]

Right? Right, guys? There's got to be so many. And man, imagine if Jay hadn't asked that question.

[Dan]

As if he hadn't made the catch. Like the whole.

[Big Cat]

We just never would have.

[Dan]

Yeah. It was just going to be a standard interview with a quirky mayor until he said, do you guys have a zip line?

[Brandon Walker]

Che, what made you ask that?

[Stephen Che]

He's up in trees a lot.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, I guess

[Kyle]

he did. He had never did serve time for one of his jumps.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh.

[Titus]

Which is also cool.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Gives him more street cred, right?

[Kate]

He was in for jumping.

[Kyle]

Yeah. Trespassing. Self proclaimed daredevil who took an insane leap from a massive crane has been sentenced to jail.

[Big Cat]

We had to expect that. Tate talked into DO tj. What do you have to say?

[Dan]

He just tweeted it.

[Kate]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

And Dave also just tweeted as well.

[Dan]

Oh, I didn't see that part.

[Tate]

I just got off the phone with Jeff Nadeu and now I'm here to clear up a few things regarding the rumors that are circulating the Internet. Jeff Nadeu may not do the Men of Honor podcast source Jeff Nadeu or that Jeff Nadeu's looking for more money. All right, I just got off the phone with Jeff Nadeu and now I'm here to clear up a few things regarding the rumors that are circulating the Internet. That Jeff Nadeu may not do the Men of Honor podcast source Jeff Nadeu or that Jeff Nadeu's looking for more money to do the Men of Honor podcast source also Jeff Nadu. Here's the deal. Jeff does feel that the initial number he verbally agreed to with Dave Portnoy was a fair number. But now he has sources within Barstool Sports telling him that the show is expected to be a hit. Not just with the fans, advertisers too. And that the number of episodes of the show is now higher than he originally expected. So instead of giving a statement on the matter, he has asked a question to you. What would you do if that were the case? Advertisers love it being filmed before. Pick' em to give more material to pick them more episodes than originally expected. What would you do? At this point, I can confirm that Jeff Nadu would still like to sit down with Rico Bosco and film a podcast. In fact, he personally guarantees that he will at least one time sit down in person with Rico Bosco. But he does say that he has some thinking to do in terms of the actual agreement because again, Jeff Nadu has not signed anything,

[Dan]

which leads to a day response

[Tate]

more episodes than originally expected. What would you do? At this point, I can confirm that Jeff Nadu would still like to sit down with Rico Bosco and film a podcast. In fact, you're right.

[Big Cat]

Told you.

[Dan]

Night night.

[Big Cat]

Told you.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, that's.

[Big Cat]

That's the last we hear. This is

[Kate]

huge win, Brandon.

[Kyle]

Are we gonna miss him?

[Big Cat]

No, no, tj, I just sent you a video, too.

[Brandon Walker]

I think we might.

[Kyle]

I think I will soon.

[Big Cat]

He's not.

[Kate]

He's.

[Big Cat]

He's just gonna keep doing stuff for free. Yeah, he's not.

[Titus]

Come on.

[Big Cat]

We.

[Kyle]

I'll see. We'll see.

[Big Cat]

You just keep running the Green Bay power sweep. It's getting us four yards every time.

[Kyle]

Everything we need for zero dollars.

[Big Cat]

Here it is. This is campaign video. I'm Nick Propson, and I'm running for the town of Cooperstown supervisor.

[Tate]

And when I win. I said when, not if.

[Brandon Walker]

When I win, there's three things that

[Big Cat]

we got to get done in this town.

[Tate]

First thing we gotta do is change

[Big Cat]

the name of this river. Devil's River.

[Tate]

Devil's River.

[Big Cat]

This is Jesus's river. This is the Lord's river.

[Brandon Walker]

Second and most important thing is we

[Big Cat]

got to build the walls wall around our neighboring community. I'm talking about you.

[Tate]

The last thing we got to do

[Brandon Walker]

is we got to stop that war in Ukraine.

[Titus]

How do we get.

[Big Cat]

Incredible.

[Brandon Walker]

And he won.

[Titus]

He won.

[Brandon Walker]

Holy.

[Kate]

Oh, my God.

[Big Cat]

This is one of those jacks I will be thinking about for the rest of the ballot.

[Kyle]

I don't know what happened.

[Titus]

I couldn't focus on the new do talk at all.

[Big Cat]

I'm gonna have to. Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

This guy on a zip line all around Maribel.

[Big Cat]

Oh, my God.

[Brandon Walker]

Twitch sent me. This is also on his.

[Dan]

His Facebook.

[Big Cat]

What is this?

[Brandon Walker]

It's the poorly cropped photo celebrating North Dakota states.

[Big Cat]

And that's him.

[Brandon Walker]

No, I think this is just. He Just likes North Dakota State.

[Big Cat]

No, that's gotta be him.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that's. Oh, it is him. Oh, my God.

[Titus]

It keeps getting better.

[Big Cat]

He just doesn't stop. Holy. I cannot wait for Chad and Deutsch and Donnie to be with this guy.

[Brandon Walker]

That's the ultimate crew.

[Big Cat]

Oh, my God. And it's just gonna give us the whole. Like, we're. They're just gonna make videos, and that's just gonna be camp.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah. Every yak will be watching a new video.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Do you think Donnie would backflip off a crane into a pond?

[Kyle]

Yes.

[Dan]

Oh, yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, dude, he's. He skydives with a parachute he bought on ebay that he never unpacked.

[Kate]

That's true.

[Brandon Walker]

I think he would punch out his own teeth. Yes.

[Big Cat]

Yes.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Do you think the police there have a contentious relationship with their mayor?

[Big Cat]

Yes, definitely.

[Titus]

Kind of want to talk to them as well.

[Dan]

You think they have police?

[Big Cat]

Maybe not.

[Brandon Walker]

Could just not have police.

[Dan]

He might be the police.

[Big Cat]

He could be the police.

[Titus]

True.

[Brandon Walker]

Did he want to win like mayor?

[Big Cat]

I think so. I think he's got all the power now.

[Brandon Walker]

I guess so.

[Big Cat]

I will talk to him again tomorrow.

[Titus]

I mean, I don't know what we're supposed to do. All I think about is, you know, yeah, I'm not gonna sleep tonight.

[Big Cat]

It's gonna be just. This is one of those yaks. I'm gonna get home and I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna tell my wife. Like, we gotta watch and, you know, we gotta watch the act.

[Brandon Walker]

More shit's gonna be coming out.

[Kyle]

Oh, yeah, yeah. He's.

[Titus]

I want to know everything.

[Big Cat]

Oh, man.

[Brandon Walker]

There he is with.

[Dan]

Wait a second.

[Big Cat]

He's a badass, but it said it's local.

[Brandon Walker]

My dad is Nick Prop. No, that is not real.

[Dan]

What happened? It says location is in Maribel, and he wanted to put a fence around Maribel.

[Big Cat]

Oh, that's a good point. Oh, man.

[Titus]

What are you watching?

[Dan]

[Kate]

[Big Cat]

One night. We gotta sneak out of camp and go to Bonkers.

[Brandon Walker]

It's two way handsy.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, handsy to you.

[Brandon Walker]

It's both.

[Big Cat]

Oh, man. All right, let's spin the wheel. I mean, that was. I'm out of breath. I can't believe it either.
