[Kate]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

So I think that's all it is.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

Well, he pushed his body to the limit. He basically. Three days of doing low impact old ancient Chinese workout is no different than him doing like a triathlon.

[Kate]

And he made it a three days longer than I thought.

Canada just scored, so it looks like Canada's gonna win. Curling is hard. I apologize to curlers everywhere. Would you agree?

[Dana]

I didn't throw the stones at all, but it seemed very hard to throw. I never had a take on curling, but I. I thought the guys that scrub or sweep or whatever, I didn't see their use. Really. I thought it helped a lot.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, you did big time.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And it was. I mean, let's be honest. It was the Pete stream.

[Big Cat]

Well said. I'm a curling guy now. I watched this.

[Titus]

It's awesome, isn't it?

[Big Cat]

It's awesome. I apologize to all curlers everywhere and you guys. Yeah, that was because we got the tarps off Mulligan, which is a rule all curlers know you get a tarps off Mulligan. So that was.

[Whitney]

What about. It was so. Is so addicting to you. What do you like about it?

[Big Cat]

I don't know. It's just kind of a vibe. Like, I actually don't. I don't know if I'll ever play again or watch, but I respect it.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Whitney]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

I respect that it exists. It was. It was like. It's very similar to, like, bocce. It's like a bunch of dudes hanging out, you know, playing in a league game, drinking some beers.

[Dana]

Like, I would go hang out at that curling. I wouldn't even curl. I just hang out with the boys there.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Yeah. Like, they had couches and like, they were just. It was just kind of an awesome, like, setup.

[Nick]

It smell good in there?

[Mincy]

What?

[Nick]

Did it smell good in there?

[Big Cat]

No, because Dana was there.

[Dana]

I couldn't stop farting.

[Big Cat]

Dana was farting.

[Dana]

And I'm not even a fart in public guy, but I couldn't stop.

[Big Cat]

The sheets of ice are like. What are they, like 100ft or something? I don't even know.

[Dana]

I could not stop.

[Big Cat]

And it was farting on the opposite side and it smelled bad.

[Dana]

It was me and Kdick were farting. I. I don't like letting them. Letting them go in front of people. But whatever happened in my stomach, I couldn't help it.

[Big Cat]

It was so bad. It smelled so bad.

[Dana]

It was cheesecake. It was cheesecake.

[Big Cat]

You were eating cheesecake?

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

You were eating a casual cheesecake factory mukbang. Of course I'm going to have bad

[Dana]

farce after a mukbang. Come on.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. There was a moment.

[Kate]

Film the mukbang.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Okay.

[Dana]

It wasn't just for fun.

[Big Cat]

There was a moment.

[Kate]

I don't know, dude.

[Big Cat]

There was a moment where I threw one of my rocks was. Stones. Stones.

[Dana]

Stones.

[Big Cat]

Rocks.

[Titus]

Yeah, both.

[Big Cat]

Okay. Rocks and stones. And Katic was My sweeper. And he just wasn't there. And I was like, where the. Is kidding? He's like, oh, he's taking a. He was gone for like, 30 minutes. It's like, okay, I guess that is when you bring your pathetic Titans. That is gonna. You have to. You have to work in 30.

[Dana]

I got scolded more than I've ever gone scold in my life.

[Big Cat]

By who?

[Dana]

By the. The people that work there. Because I was eating an egg roll on the ice.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, you're not supposed to bring food out there. They didn't tell me that egg rolls.

[Dana]

I looked in the whole. There was seven people just being like, what are you doing?

[Kate]

So wait, you had a cheesecake mukbang before then you were just like, I'm going to have an egg roll. Where?

[Dana]

No, the cheesecake. That was at 12 o'.

[Nick]

Clock.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Dana]

This was at 7.

[Kate]

Okay. Okay.

[Mikey Betts]

Come on.

[Big Cat]

Dude.

[Dana]

Dude.

[Big Cat]

That's a lot of time.

[Dana]

I got Chinese food.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I got. I ordered so much. I was just like, yeah, order all the Chinese food. And then they actually did everything.

[Kate]

All of it was a lot.

[Dana]

So much. That stream was so much fun.

[Big Cat]

It was so much fun. And I shout out Tate. L. I mean, listen, the. The. The vocal minority of the chat is going to always be negative. They do an awesome job. Like when people. And like, when they say about the. Changing the rules. So we did change the rules last night. I am technically the rules committee. I think you're also on the rules committee, Titus. I should have called you, but we went the first two hours and the goal was to get 10 in the circle in a row.

[Kate]

I didn't know it was in a row.

[Big Cat]

In a row.

[Nick]

You're fucked.

[Big Cat]

We got. In two hours. We got three in a row.

[Titus]

That was the.

[Big Cat]

So we were basically watching a no pressure stream, you know, I mean, like, we weren't even close to being close.

[Kate]

Did you have a time where you had to get out of there?

[Big Cat]

No, I think it was closed around midnight. But then there was like, they're like, we'll keep it open. But we can't keep it open much past that. So we did get under the gun, but. So I was at 9 o'.

[Nick]

Clock.

[Big Cat]

I was like, guys, this is a terrible stream. We're going to change what we're doing. So we played one on one round robin, and the loser had to get five in a row to get out.

[Kate]

Oh, cool.

[Big Cat]

I lost around Robin. I went to try to get five in a row. The first time I went, I got three and I Was like, I'm going to do it in the first time. This is fucking awesome. Didn't get the fourth shot. And then I don't think I got one in the circle for like 45 minutes. And then Pete was like, can I take over? And we're like, yes, please. He got five. And then we're like, keep going. He got nine. Tenth, he didn't get. But we forgot that we get the tarps. He got the 10th and it was awesome.

[Dana]

It was truly like just. I felt electrified.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. And it. It became a good stream because I think also playing. Heads up, like, got Pete dialed in because we actually, instead of just like I aimlessly tossing stones down, like over and over, we're like, all right, let's play a game. So I think it was a good rules change.

[Titus]

What you were doing wasn't really curling strategy. That's probably why Pete. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Titus]

When you can actually curl them around and throw some guards out there.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Throw them softly.

[Titus]

Knock the other ones out of the way to have it.

[Big Cat]

We were just tossing them and it was boring for two hours.

[Titus]

It was pretty bad.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. But then it got good. Then it got good.

[Dana]

This might be like a throwing stones and glass house type thing. Is that. That's what you said?

[Big Cat]

Sure.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Kind of what you did last night.

[Dana]

I didn't really.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Dana]

I didn't realize how big his stomach was.

[Big Cat]

Oh, Pete. Yeah, he's got a big old huge stomach full of cum. Big cum belly. But I think like with the barstool after dark when it comes to, like, rules changes, because I understand people want to see us suffer. I think though, rules changes that actually make it a more watchable stream. Should always be open. You mean? Yeah, like, to make it more interesting. That's. We should always be down for that. The viewer is the one that I'm worried about, not the people who are like, they need to be punished and punished forever.

[Kate]

And if it's futile and you're streaming for 20 hours, the person that's mad, how many hours are they watching?

[Big Cat]

Right. And what we would not have been able to stream for 20 hours. They would have kicked us out. They couldn't have kept it open for.

[Nick]

Yeah, because the 10 in a row I was watching when you guys were doing that and I got to a point I was like, they're never going to do this.

[Big Cat]

Never. Right. And then. And then we changed it up and it got good. But it was very fun.

[Titus]

How hard do you think that would be for. Nevermind the Olympic curlers. But, like the people that were at the curling. If you asked some of the curling teams to do 10 in a row

[Big Cat]

so they feel like they would be

[Titus]

able to do it.

[Big Cat]

So they said that they go, the guys at the club, they. They play a game where they put five bucks in and then someone tries to get eight in a row, then they put five bucks in. If he doesn't get it, the next person puts five bucks in, they go. They said they usually go like 20, 25 times before someone gets eight. And these are guys that curl all the time.

[Kate]

Members of a club.

[Big Cat]

Right. So it was a pretty tough, tough task. But Pete's the man. I've never seen him happier. It was like.

[Nick]

What?

[Big Cat]

It was like a. It was. It was like when Dwight gets a concussion in the office and you're like, everyone likes him. It was a completely different person.

[Kate]

So for Pete to be palatable, does it just need to be around curling? Yeah, because, yeah, he was pleasant yesterday talking about curling.

[Big Cat]

This guy has been obsessed with curling for two decades. This was the. The second time in his life he's ever curled.

[Kate]

Like to be absolutely obsessed with something and never.

[Titus]

And he's not. He's from. He's from Philly.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Or. But he's not New York.

[Titus]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

Or somewhere around there.

[Titus]

I'll just say. Is he from a place where it's like curling culture? Do his friends do it?

[Big Cat]

No, cuz it said he picked it up as like a 20 year old.

[Titus]

Does he have an uncle that almost made the Olympics one time?

[Kate]

There has to be something.

[Nick]

He need a redemption.

[Big Cat]

Oh my God, look at him. That's goofy ass hat too.

[Titus]

We got team Peterson on the ice.

[Whitney]

Was it in the city? The facility?

[Big Cat]

No, it was just outside. It was like an hour to get to. But it was traffic. It wasn't bad. The Pete. Yeah. I watched the curling this morning, so I'm a new curling fan. Yeah, it was an electric game. Although I do hate that looks so gross.

[Whitney]

So are your forearms exhausted, Dana?

[Dana]

My shoulders, upper back and an ass.

[Titus]

I only watched. I only watched the first hour, but it was so funny how like a half hour in it would show Tate and he's got like eight layers on.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Foot is up and he's like. He's got a jacket on top of a hoodie and he's shivering and all that. And then we cut to Dana sweeping and he's pouring.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I think the sweepers probably had it worse because like they had to just basically engage their core the whole time.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

But we. My legs Are completely shot because we just. I did, like, 250 lunges on with a kettlebell, essentially.

[Dana]

Yeah, essentially. If you. If you go hard on a. On the scrub for 20 seconds, you're out of breath for, like, two minutes.

[Big Cat]

So. But it was fun, man. I'm a curling fan, but I. What I was going to say was, I hate that I've been a curling fan for four hours, and I already want a rule change. I think the sport needs a rule change.

[Titus]

What's the rule change?

[Big Cat]

I think you should count everything that's in the circle, because I watched today, and Switzerland got up and they just. They were. So. They were blank. There was no stones on there. And they had the last shot, and they would miss on purpose to keep the hammer. Like, that's not fun. Want to see scoring? I want to see just every. You know, like, you keep trying to score. So it's not the closest one. It's just every. Every stone you get in there.

[Titus]

Like, it's like darts or something where the outer ring is worth one.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Or something like that. Because it was. It was basically watching it today. I understand the strategy now. Once you get the hammer, if you're up with the hammer, you just don't try you. Because if you. If you. If you tie or. Sorry, if you score, that means the other team on the next, like, inning gets to go last, which is called the hammer. So Switzerland went up 4, 3, and they had the hammer. And they're like, we'll just keep it the whole rest of the game. So we can always go last. Because if you go last, you can just hit them all off.

[Kate]

Do the sweepers rotate with the thrower

[Big Cat]

in a normal game? Or is that like.

[Kate]

They're the pit crew? Just a sweep? Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Titus]

No, they rotate for your four people do two stones, right? So then I think.

[Big Cat]

And they have, like, closers, like the Swiss. There was this lady on the Swiss team that would only throw the last two shots, and she was just the best. Yeah, she just come in and you'd be like, all right, I'm gonna. I'm gonna hit the best shot ever.

[Titus]

That's what Schuster was for us.

[Big Cat]

That was.

[Titus]

Then he would it up every time. Every time. 2014 Olympics would be like, your Schuster in a big spot. He's just gotta. He's just gotta groove it right there.

[Big Cat]

I love shoes.

[Titus]

He would just, like, throw it off the rink. Might as well. And then 2018 redemption.

[Big Cat]

TJ will you text Pete and tell him to. To come on?

[Nick]

Yes.

[Kate]

Whenever he lands the Post op boys are home.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I should have made a rule that you.

[Mincy]

I don't want to.

[Kate]

I don't want to see your orange head.

[Big Cat]

Mikey Betts actually looks okay.

[Kate]

You can't really see his.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. And Mikey Betts, by the way, is going to come on and do his hate list.

[Kate]

What was the rule of. Oh, that's me.

[Whitney]

Mincy's going to a wedding tomorrow.

[Big Cat]

But why? Mincy never comes to the office. Why did he decide he has to be here today?

[Mikey Betts]

He's got a G for Che. And he's told me in great detail about how it would be funny. Wow.

[Big Cat]

And he wants to give it on the act.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Kate]

If we need anything.

[Mincy]

Of course.

[Big Cat]

No.

[Mincy]

Okay.

[Kate]

Come on.

[Big Cat]

Don't you want to know what it is? I guess I do.

[Kate]

Said it.

[Dana]

Big Cat.

[Kate]

He said it'll be funny.

[Big Cat]

I do kind of want to know what it is.

[Mincy]

Oh.

[Big Cat]

Back in his office. Back in his office.

[Kate]

I sat in that spot while he was gone. It's the best spot in the building.

[Big Cat]

You see everything.

[Kate]

You see everything. You are kind of isolated. You have a full table. The best spot to rip cameos all day.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. So Mikey Bets is going to do his hate list because he was pissed that he missed.

[Kate]

Understandable.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, he's working on it right now.

[Kate]

Why did some of the guys have to shave and some didn't?

[Nick]

I asked when I did it.

[Kate]

So that's all you had to do was ask.

[Big Cat]

You asked to get shaved.

[Nick]

I asked to get not shaved. Oh, remember I had the.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that's right.

[Nick]

And I think I. Because I had the least amount of graphs, I think they were okay with it.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Titus]

What's the orange?

[Nick]

Yeah, that's a dye. I think that's like the.

[Mincy]

Then why some red?

[Titus]

The dye to, like, to match their hair.

[Nick]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Whitney]

Like antiseptic.

[Nick]

Yes.

[Kate]

Oh, okay.

[Nick]

All the ones on the sides, like, the back and the sides. That's what that is.

[Kate]

That just stays on.

[Nick]

Yes. Top is like, just like scabbing, like raw punctures. I believe that's.

[Whitney]

He's going to a wedding tomorrow. And I'm like, if I'm the bride, like, don't sit.

[Titus]

Don't.

[Kate]

Please don't show up here in all

[Whitney]

the wedding photos of all.

[Kate]

That's disgusting.

[Whitney]

The whole church.

[Dana]

Mark and Nick. How often you guys shampooing?

[Kate]

I'm like, three times a week.

[Titus]

Yeah, two to three.

[Big Cat]

I ship whoever.

[Dana]

Yeah, I do too. That's. I don't think you're supposed to, though.

[Big Cat]

But who says who?

[Dana]

That's what people. I. I'm just saying, girls, you're supposed to get the.

[Titus]

I do notice, like, having the long hair, if I did it every day would not be good.

[Nick]

Huh.

[Big Cat]

Well, conditioning that.

[Titus]

So, like, I kind of landed on. Yeah. I condition it every day. Yeah. And I. I, like when I first grew my hair out, which was in Covet, I had short hair, like, my whole life until covet, and then couldn't go get it cut at barbers, and I was like, oh, I don't really hate this, and just kind of kept it. Yeah. When I first was growing it out, I would just do the, like, body wash, you know, Like, I would just do it like that. And then as it got longer, it was, like, actually a problem, and I realized I should probably.

[Kate]

You've had really long hair before.

[Dana]

I have good hair, but I'm. I feel like I'm going a little thinner, and I'm worried that I just shampoo too much. Like, you see that. I don't.

[Kate]

I. I think it's probably just genetic.

[Dana]

You see that right there?

[Big Cat]

You're probably just gonna go next year. You got to just hope that a monkey never steals your hat.

[Kate]

That's it. You're not Egyptian.

[Dana]

I call my dad. We can call him if you want.

[Big Cat]

By the way, to shout out Deutsch. He was. He's just good at everything.

[Dana]

He's good at everything.

[Big Cat]

He's good at everything. He was an awesome sweeper last night.

[Dana]

Really?

[Big Cat]

Yeah. He's just. I think he might be one of those guys if you're just like, hey, Deutsche, can you help me with this?

[Titus]

He's just awesome at it, and he doesn't know. He's awesome at it.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Right?

[Big Cat]

He's like, I guess I'm put some in his hands.

[Titus]

What is this?

[Big Cat]

He's just sick at everything.

[Nick]

He'd be a good addition to the Cream team. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

He's also got some integrity because he was on. He was sweeping for Pete. When I was going up against Pete and Pete was bodying me, and I just kept on being like, hey, Deutsch, like, I don't think you signed your contract yet. Trying to put some pressure on him. He was still sweeping his ass off for Pete.

[Kate]

A man of integrity.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Kind of like he passed the test.

[Dana]

Do you think more dudes need to shave their heads?

[Kate]

I think a lot of people will be surprised how.

[Dana]

Yeah. Deutsch looks really good with a shaved head.

[Whitney]

Yep.

[Dana]

I feel like a lot of us might.

[Big Cat]

It's like when white talks. Dave went to get the hair transplant. We're like, wait, he looks good with a shaved head.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Whitney]

There's a Reddit page, our bald, where dudes post. They're like, should I? And everyone's like, yes. And then they do it, and everyone's like, oh, it looks so much better. It's like, dudes before and after, and they're encouraging each other to just do it, and it's, like, really positive, and the guys always look better.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Titus]

If you have to ask if it's

[Kate]

really, really thinning, can I hang on for another year? Let it go, I guess.

[Nick]

Like, I don't think Mincy looks bad bald.

[Dana]

No.

[Whitney]

No, I don't think so either.

[Big Cat]

Oh, man.

[Nick]

Chase. Hair is, like, molding. Did you notice that?

[Big Cat]

Oh, Jay, what's going on?

[Kate]

Oh, it's, like, green.

[Nick]

Yeah. Spots look, like, moldy.

[Big Cat]

Oh, geez.

[Dana]

It looks pretty gross.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. You can get that fixed, dude. Like, you don't you. You paid your bet. I know. It just, like, I have to get

[Kate]

my haircut at this point.

[Big Cat]

Like, so. Yeah, you can get it redyed. The yellow or the spots? All of it. The spots are gonna be done, to

[Dana]

be determined on the yellow, but I

[Kate]

might keep the, like, long buzz cut.

[Big Cat]

I kind of like it. Wait, so you're gonna keep the yellow? It's. It's being considered. Whoa.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

What, are you gonna go to the con? Are you gonna. You're gonna be the combine with this? It's not. If I cut it, it.

[Kate]

I think so.

[Titus]

What happened? You said when you first got it done, you said the spots would.

[Dana]

Would go away.

[Big Cat]

I know. I thought that that's.

[Kate]

That's.

[Big Cat]

I was told that they would start fading in a week, so I was pretty protective of it that week. I wore a shower cap all week,

[Kate]

and then it just is the slowest fade. Like, it's definitely lighter than it was before in the side. Spots have faded, but, like, the top is pretty much as dark as ever.

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yeah. Colt Brennan, rip.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Kate]

White Sox Dave is back. Have you talked to him about his wine mishap?

[Nick]

Oh, no, I didn't, but that shocked me.

[Kate]

Did it shock you?

[Whitney]

Okay.

[Kate]

Like, in the least, him handing the shards.

[Big Cat]

Wait, what happened?

[Kate]

Oh, big cats.

[Big Cat]

Oh, it's a good one.

[Dana]

Oh, it's a good one.

[Big Cat]

He just saw Cons's tweet today.

[Titus]

Oh, this is outrageous.

[Big Cat]

That was because of that when he was like, hey, just.

[Kate]

It is broke.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Like, just throwing this out there. Don't pack your wine, you idiots.

[Kate]

I saw it on Twitter, and I just it boggled my mind.

[Titus]

By the way, duffel bag, right?

[Big Cat]

Oh, bag.

[Titus]

Duffel bag. Like, we saw his clothes.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Like we said yesterday, he's got a

[Dana]

double bag zipper, though.

[Big Cat]

Wait, why didn't he cover it? Wrap it in a hoodie? At least in a duffel.

[Kate]

And he's handing the shards. And then what is he going to do with these shards?

[Big Cat]

Oh, my God. He does have a duffel bag. The pan to the shards, but one survived.

[Dana]

Also, no reason to pay 150 bucks for a ball.

[Big Cat]

I didn't know it was until I paid for it and looked the next day.

[Kate]

He's the most combative person I've ever

[Titus]

met in my life.

[Dana]

Definitely.

[Nick]

Still, this wasn't his fault.

[Kate]

Yeah, it was.

[Nick]

I'm sure he would say it wasn't.

[Titus]

Huh? Just hands him the shards. Why'd the guy take the shards?

[Nick]

Yeah, why.

[Titus]

Why would the guy just be like, I don't.

[Big Cat]

I don't think it's your problem, dude.

[Dana]

You know, they'll let you drink it at really the whole before you go through security.

[Kate]

Oh, like waters.

[Big Cat]

I've seen.

[Dana]

They'll be like, you. Like, sometimes I've had, like, a couple beers in my backpack and just forgot they were in there. You can drink those if you want and depound them. Yeah, like, he could have drank that bottle of wine if he wanted to.

[Big Cat]

TSA has told you to do the beer tweet.

[Dana]

They have. Literally. It does make me uncomfortable when.

[Big Cat]

Okay, so this makes sense now. I saw this, and I was like, why is this a tweet? That's very funny.

[Kate]

It seems like that rivalry has really resparked.

[Mikey Betts]

Oh, it's the best.

[Big Cat]

It's one of my favorites.

[Dana]

But Dave has the upper hand.

[Nick]

Right?

[Mikey Betts]

The Mile. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Big Cat]

Big time. Oh, dude, last night. Funniest moment. We're just streaming for, you know, hour three, Hour four. Dana just looks over. He's like, holy, that guy's got a zillion beer shirt.

[Dana]

He did.

[Big Cat]

It was like an old school from six years ago.

[Nick]

Which one?

[Dana]

It was just like, a gray barstool logo with zillion beers on the back.

[Titus]

He.

[Big Cat]

I talked to him after you had already left, and he was like, yeah, this shirt used to be a completely different color.

[Dana]

I've seen a lot of those in the wild where they're just like, torn up and gross.

[Kate]

Like, that's the type of guy you want.

[Dana]

Absolutely. My fat, fat alcoholics see it.

[Big Cat]

Seeing a dude in a zillion beer shirt in the wild in 26 is like, that was very cool. Like a bald eagle.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Kate]

They got to be all over Cincinnati, though. Oh, dear.

[Dana]

Turf everywhere.

[Big Cat]

That guy rocked.

[Dana]

I wonder how many. Remember the one we sold? The ones that had Dr. Evil on it? Remember those?

[Kate]

No.

[Nick]

What.

[Kate]

Why did I have Dr. Oh.

[Big Cat]

A zillion.

[Dana]

One zillion.

[Big Cat]

Oh, your brain is so.

[Dana]

I wonder how many of those were sold.

[Big Cat]

Your brain is so good.

[Whitney]

There was zillion bottles. Onesies for babies.

[Dana]

Zillion bottles,

[Nick]

zillion grapes. That's still coming.

[Kate]

It's on its way.

[Dana]

No, Chad's che now. That's his thing.

[Big Cat]

All right, here he is, Mikey Betts. Oh, he's gonna do his hate list. He was mad that we. We didn't have him on for hate Wednesday. The haters ball. I should say, though, before.

[Kate]

Can you put.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kate]

You don't need them.

[Big Cat]

You don't need them because they didn't

[Mikey Betts]

put them right there.

[Big Cat]

Oh, okay. So how did you get them?

[Mikey Betts]

I got them all under the comb over. Oh, it's on the crown right here.

[Kate]

How many did you end up getting?

[Mikey Betts]

3,800 graphs. Whoa. Yeah.

[Kate]

That was more than I expected.

[Mikey Betts]

I know. Me too. I'm really excited. It's going to be nice and thick, so.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. By the way, before we start, Mikey Betts brought me back a gift. Do you remember? You might remember, from my hate list on Haters Ball. He brought me back some weed.

[Mikey Betts]

No, it's not weed. It's a weed battery for a weed pen.

[Kate]

Oh, still weed.

[Big Cat]

Wait, it's not even weed.

[Mikey Betts]

No, it's.

[Kate]

You brought him back a battery.

[Big Cat]

Wait, what? That's even worse. Oh, right.

[Mikey Betts]

Sorry.

[Big Cat]

No, my. All my hate list was weed as a gift.

[Titus]

A battery.

[Mikey Betts]

I didn't watch it. I was married.

[Big Cat]

What the fuck? So he still needs the cartridge?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, yeah. We ran out of cards.

[Mincy]

He basically gave you a blunt rap with.

[Mikey Betts]

No, not weed.

[Big Cat]

What?

[Titus]

Look, it's a battery for weed.

[Dana]

Don't they say not great travel batteries?

[Big Cat]

It's just a battery, dude.

[Mikey Betts]

Oh, sorry, man. Jesus. It's a nice gift.

[Big Cat]

No, this is all right. I take back the weed as a gift.

[Kate]

That's a nice battery.

[Big Cat]

Battery gift is the worst gift.

[Mikey Betts]

It's a Grateful Dead weed battery pen.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, because people wouldn't know I like the Grateful Dead while I'm smoking weed. Oh, sorry. Okay.

[Mikey Betts]

Sorry.

[Kate]

There's no way that stoner likes the Grateful Dad.

[Big Cat]

Thank you, Mikey.

[Mikey Betts]

Of course.

[Big Cat]

Wait, give us a recap of the. Of the. Wait, did you just say that you were so mad that we did the Haters Ball. You couldn't watch?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I didn't watch it. Yeah, I was. I was really upset, dude, because it was like 9 o'.

[Kate]

Clock.

[Mikey Betts]

I was like, all right, cool, I'll watch the yak. I'm going go to bed. And then I watched it and I was like, all right, never mind.

[Big Cat]

What the are these guys doing?

[Mikey Betts]

It's kind of mad, but it's okay.

[Big Cat]

So how was the trip?

[Mikey Betts]

Trip was great. What I took out of it is like, dude, I. I kind of, kind of love White Socks Dave, like, he's. He's like him a lot. I hate. I hate that the reaction you guys just gave right now. He's a good guy.

[Big Cat]

He did feel like he was kind of like the mayor of inst.

[Mikey Betts]

He was. I kept saying he was Elvis Presley of Instant Bowl. It was crazy. Like, he had his posters. People were asking for pictures. People were driving two hours to come see him.

[Whitney]

What?

[Mikey Betts]

Yes. Yes, yeah or no? Actually, I think that was from Mincy. I think that that guy drove two hours from Mincy. But yeah, people. People were. People love Dave and Dave loved Instant Bowl. It was crazy. He did. I think he was kind of like over exaggerating how great Instant Bull was because we went to a basketball game and we had a hot dog. It was the worst hot dog I've ever seen in my life. It looks so gross. And then somebody else had and was like, yeah, this is disgusting. And he was like, this is the best hot dog in the world. Like, he is better than Dodger Stadium and all this. I'm like, dude, now, now it's a stretch.

[Kate]

So he loves Istanbul.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, yeah.

[Big Cat]

To a point that it's kind of uncomfortable.

[Kate]

It's strange.

[Mikey Betts]

Like, I mean, the food sucked. Like, it was. It was awful food. I didn't like the food at all.

[Dana]

Why?

[Big Cat]

What was wrong with the food?

[Mikey Betts]

They just have taste buds over there. It's just bad.

[Kate]

So what did you like?

[Mikey Betts]

I like the camaraderie. Is that how you say it? Camaraderie? Yeah, I like the camaraderie and like, just chilling with the guys, getting to know some people, having drinks and some beers, so.

[Dana]

But couldn't you just do that anywhere?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, but it was just nice to be with the boys and obviously get my hair transplant.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Did you guys go anywhere else?

[Mikey Betts]

We went on a boat. We went to Asia. That was cool. The Asian side of Turkey, not much different. I thought it was going to be like China and it wasn't at all. I was like, ready.

[Big Cat]

I was so yeah, because it's not China.

[Kate]

It's still Turkey.

[Mikey Betts]

I thought it was going to be like, more of, like, Asian culture, not Turkish culture.

[Titus]

You thought?

[Nick]

Got it.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, that was bad of me to think that, I guess. But, yeah, I was just excited to go to Asia and I was a little disappointed when I stepped off and

[Big Cat]

it just wasn't just a bunch of Chinese people.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I was looking forward to that.

[Big Cat]

You know, they're like. Like Russia's in Asia, too.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I know. I just.

[Nick]

I don't know.

[Big Cat]

I don't know.

[Kate]

Did everyone love Turkey?

[Mikey Betts]

I mean, I didn't love Turkey. Like, I. I loved Estanov and Bald Stool. All very fun. But, yeah, Barcelona.

[Kate]

Pat quote tweeted Dave when he was

[Big Cat]

bragging about Turkey, saying, like, this is

[Mincy]

the craziest take I've ever heard.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. And Dave doing gay jokes at the. What was he doing? He was doing them at the dinner, like, loud, in a microphone. Like, gay jokes at Pat when Pat was like, yeah, please don't say anything about me being gay. I don't get stabbed.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

So I brought that up to Dave today.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Like, I never said gay. I just said people of his community.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Titus]

What other.

[Kate]

What other thing has a community?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, exactly.

[Big Cat]

Wait, so what was the city you were in?

[Kate]

Instant bull.

[Mikey Betts]

What am I saying wrong?

[Kate]

You're saying instant bull.

[Mikey Betts]

Instant bull.

[Big Cat]

There's no feast. Instant bull.

[Mikey Betts]

Instant instan bull. No, no.

[Big Cat]

Istanbul.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. Instan bull.

[Big Cat]

No, no, no, no. There's no end at the start.

[Mikey Betts]

Oh, it's Istanbul.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I don't give Instant bull.

[Kate]

And the thing they like about Istanbul was.

[Mikey Betts]

Oh, I think I was spelling it I N S T. Instant bull. That. That place, dude, there's a place called the Grand Bazaar. That place.

[Kate]

It's the most visited tourist attraction on earth.

[Big Cat]

It sucked.

[Mikey Betts]

Rats, dude. Just. Just like dirty rats. Like, they're just trying to steal your money and. And they call you fat. And it's like, we saw that. You call me fat for, like, I don't know. It was weird.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Is it because you didn't buy anything?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, he's like, too fat to buy. And I'm like, yeah, I guess so, buddy. Like, do you want me to say,

[Dana]

was there a lot of fat people there?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, there's a lot of fat people there.

[Dana]

Because I noticed is that in Europe, it's the best.

[Big Cat]

This is Anthony Bourdain. I mean, I just found out you've been. You've been passed.

[Mikey Betts]

Dude, I just found out this is a.

[Big Cat]

Like, this is a great travel.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. I just found out he was a chef. I. I thought. Yeah, I thought. I thought he was just a tourist who, like, you know, like, offed himself because of, like, depression. I literally. That's all I thought. I didn't know he was a chef.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

It's pretty cool.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

It's good to know more because they went to, like, a kebab shop that he went to, and I was like, who cares about this guy? Okay, so.

[Big Cat]

All right, so a lot of fat people, a lot of rats, a lot of, like.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, and. And just, like, a lot of kids trying to steal it. Like, not steal, but, like, give me money. Give me money. I'm like, who are you? Get out of my face.

[Kate]

So the best part about turkey was White Sox. Dave.

[Mikey Betts]

I mean, the best part, probably that's

[Kate]

the worst sell of a country.

[Titus]

What was. What was his role in the group? Because he. He got this done last year.

[Mikey Betts]

I think he was just, like, the

[Titus]

ambassador he was going to. Did you find that he helped the group more or that he antagonized the group?

[Mikey Betts]

I think that he did a really good job of, like, showing everybody around that was new to it. Like, the stoolies, for sure. Like, he. He was very helpful and, like, wasn't, like, big time in anybody. He was very nice. So I. I really appreciated that from Dave.

[Big Cat]

Nice.

[Mincy]

Those hair transplants get into your brain a little.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. I'm sorry. I mean, yeah, Dave's a cool guy. I texted that he's the king. To my undertaker.

[Dana]

Is that a tattoo or is that where the three black dots.

[Mikey Betts]

No, that's where the anesthetics or the anesthesia went. Oh, yeah, it was. It wasn't that painful. It was just tedious. Like, the anesthesia. You said they were going to hurt. They hurt a little bit. Like the first two shots. Yeah. And then I think the biggest thing that hurt was the stem cell. When they jam that in the middle of your head, that's what hurt the most.

[Big Cat]

How long did it take?

[Mikey Betts]

Like, seven hours.

[Titus]

Oh.

[Mikey Betts]

Oh, dude. It was very, like. Yeah. And, like, the anesthesia wore off in the last hour, so I felt almost everything. It was so bad. And then they're like, oh, yeah, you could have asked for more anesthesia.

[Nick]

Oh.

[Mikey Betts]

I was like, all right, whatever.

[Big Cat]

And how long is the process till you have full hair?

[Mikey Betts]

Six months or.

[Big Cat]

And wait, hold on a second. You're not allowed to come for two weeks, dude.

[Mikey Betts]

I. I broke that in, like, six hours post op. It was like, the slowest session of my life.

[Kate]

You Busted in Turkey.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, and that's illegal too, I guess.

[Kate]

What?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I guess.

[Dana]

How will they. How do they know?

[Mikey Betts]

I don't know. I mean, that's what I'm saying.

[Big Cat]

Who told you that?

[Mikey Betts]

I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere.

[Big Cat]

There's no way.

[Mikey Betts]

That's pretty. I'm pretty sure it's like, on Reddit.

[Kate]

You didn't read.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, it was definitely on Reddit. Like, you can't jerk off, can't watch porn.

[Big Cat]

So what. What's gonna. What, is there like a chance your. Your hair follicles don't take because you're just still busting?

[Mikey Betts]

No, that's. So I did deeper research too. Like.

[Big Cat]

Oh, no, that's scary.

[Mikey Betts]

It was like, dude, I was in my. My hotel for like six hours with nothing to do. All the Game of Thrones and everything. I'm like, I gotta.

[Kate]

Couldn't watch porn. What did you do?

[Mikey Betts]

I just used my imagination.

[Kate]

Damn. Bets. Yeah?

[Dana]

Masturbation is not illegal in Turkey.

[Mikey Betts]

Dude, for like the first four days I didn't do it, and then I was like, I just gotta do it. And it was post op, so did

[Whitney]

that make it more exciting?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. Yeah, I did. Now it's watching the door.

[Big Cat]

All right, you ready for the hate list?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I. I kind of went a little crazy, so I'll just skip through them.

[Big Cat]

That's a lot of pages.

[Mikey Betts]

I mean, it's all Sharpie, so it's one page each. You gave me like an hour. Yeah, yeah, my head just started going.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

What do you mean?

[Kate]

Because it bled through.

[Dana]

Yeah, three pages, but it's all.

[Mikey Betts]

No, I have like six pages. It's going to be quick.

[Nick]

It'll be quick.

[Big Cat]

Take your time.

[Mikey Betts]

Hate that you guys had a haters ball when I'm not there. I hate people who say raw oysters are.

[Big Cat]

Hate how you don't like raw.

[Mikey Betts]

No, it tastes like mucus.

[Kate]

Thank you. I agree. For you, people like the taste of

[Mikey Betts]

hot sauce and horseradish fried oysters.

[Big Cat]

Fried oysters are incredible.

[Mikey Betts]

Delicious because it's all buttered up and garlicky. I love that.

[Big Cat]

The stuffed oysters.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dana]

Those are the best.

[Big Cat]

You don't have to go too fast. We can digest some.

[Mikey Betts]

Okay. I hate how dumb the NBA is getting.

[Big Cat]

What part of it tanking?

[Mikey Betts]

Tanking. I hate the All Star Game, which I know it's not for me, but, like, it's still for me. I want to watch it. Like, it used to be fun to watch and I know that like, like 12. Me, 12 year old me likes basketball. So why wouldn't the all star game. Why wouldn't 30 year old me like the all star game? Yeah, you know, so I, I don't know. I hate parents that can't control their kids. On a plane yesterday, I was getting kicked like crazy by this kid. And then I, I turned around, I told her, I was like, can you, can you control your kid? And then she pushed him to the middle and started kicking the middle seat for like everybody could feel it then. And then I, I, the other lady turned around, yelled at her. She didn't do anything. And then I called the flight attendant. He didn't do anything. And then she kept putting a, a balloon between the thing like, like, like poking my arm. So I fucking grabbed it and I took it from him. I said, you'll get it back when you stop kicking. And then he kept kicking. So I turned it into a rat and I gave it back.

[Kate]

You know how to make a balloon rat?

[Mikey Betts]

I mean, it's pretty easy. It's just like suck the tail out, turn it.

[Big Cat]

Wait, but you made him a balloon animal.

[Kate]

You gave him a treat.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I gave him, I gave him a rat.

[Big Cat]

So it's.

[Mikey Betts]

Whatever.

[Big Cat]

What's going on with you and rats right now? Heavy rats.

[Kate]

You brought up rats a few times.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. It's like a good word that I could say that it won't get me in trouble.

[Big Cat]

Okay. So it could be a catch all for a lot of.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100. All right. I hate gypsies selling fake stuff.

[Big Cat]

Wait, for real?

[Kate]

Call them rats.

[Mikey Betts]

I hate when rats can't say that.

[Kate]

I don't think so.

[Big Cat]

I didn't know that.

[Kate]

What's that? Correct.

[Big Cat]

I think.

[Kate]

I don't know. It's one of those ones. It's the, it's the jaywalking of slurs.

[Mikey Betts]

Whoopsie daisies. I hate when rats selling fake stuff call me fat because I don't buy it from them.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Mikey Betts]

I hate people who act holier than thou about other people's actions when they're either squares or they're just closet scumbags.

[Big Cat]

Okay, who's that?

[Mikey Betts]

Just anybody. Like, people on Twitter is like, how could you do such a thing? When it's like, you're probably doing some shady shit I wouldn't do. Yeah, just fuck up. Like, yeah, like what I eat does not make you shit. So why do you care what I do? I never understood that. I hate old people who can't understand Facebook post, slash accidentally, like posting as a message. And then I hate when, like, my, like, relatives will call me because they can't understand what I'm posting. Like, I'll post, like, some crazy shit, you know, something funny. And they're like, is everything okay? And I'm like, yeah, it's comedy. Like, it's. It's a meme. I hate that shit.

[Nick]

It's comedy.

[Mikey Betts]

I hate. I hate Italians that say, like, mozzarella and the fucking gravy.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Sauce.

[Mikey Betts]

Those people are the worst. Those are the worst Italian people in the world. Like, just say mozzarella. You're in America. Like, I don't need to hear the mozzarella and the. The bruschetta and all that bullshit. Like, just say it how we are. We're here.

[Big Cat]

What about when Giada says, it's who? Giada, the chef. Chef? You don't know any chef. Now I'm understanding your beef with Chef Donnie.

[Mikey Betts]

I like chef my guy.

[Kate]

You would love Giada.

[Mikey Betts]

Is that the guy? No, it's a woman. Oh.

[Big Cat]

She's attractive. And she says mozzarella and it's attractive.

[Mikey Betts]

That's okay. People who act like Europe is better than America. I hate that.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

I hate how I got fired as a coach in the Rec Club league.

[Big Cat]

Oh, that one's shot at me.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. I mean, episode two, I kind of got a little vindicated.

[Big Cat]

Why?

[Mikey Betts]

I don't know. People in the comments were saying I was vindicated.

[Big Cat]

What was it saying, Justin?

[Dana]

So that he was. It was. He had a team problem. It wasn't a coach problem.

[Big Cat]

But.

[Nick]

But.

[Big Cat]

But then I coached, and we were so close to it. We went to overtime after being blown out by 40.

[Mikey Betts]

But what happened?

[Big Cat]

And if. If White boy Rick didn't. Fucking hot dog of block. Nikki Smokes didn't think he was Allen Iverson.

[Mikey Betts]

So you agree it wasn't the coaching?

[Big Cat]

No, but I got them to a point where we were right on the. Then. Yes, the team did fall apart.

[Dana]

Go watch the documentary.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dana]

After the yak, please.

[Mikey Betts]

I hate when the chat calls me Mikey Cankles. I hate when plumbing.

[Big Cat]

They do that?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, all the time.

[Big Cat]

That one's not going to backfire.

[Mikey Betts]

No. I mean, it's funny, though. Like, I hate it, but I can appreciate that. That's pretty funny.

[Big Cat]

Can I. Can we see?

[Mikey Betts]

Oh, yeah. They usually. They usually stick out. Oh, yeah, they usually stick out.

[Dana]

You have cankles.

[Kate]

That champion C is stretched.

[Big Cat]

But I also. Cankles are not a bad thing. I wish I had cankles like Trent has kinkles.

[Mikey Betts]

I have so much support and I asked Trent once.

[Big Cat]

I was like, you rolled your ankle? He's like, never.

[Mincy]

No, they're manly.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. Yeah. 100. Yeah, exactly. Women have ankles. I hate when Fleming Enterprises plans trips without me. They're in Tampa right now and didn't like they told me, but it was like, inconvenient because it interlapsed, so I was mad.

[Kate]

I hate when you can't go on a trip.

[Big Cat]

You were in Turkey.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I know. I just wanted to be involved. No big deal.

[Dana]

I hate interlapse.

[Mikey Betts]

What?

[Dana]

Interlapse?

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Is that.

[Dana]

Is that a word?

[Titus]

Over.

[Mikey Betts]

Overlaps. Overlaps. There we go.

[Kate]

Intertwine.

[Mikey Betts]

Intertwine. Hate people who do the. Stop saying you're from Chicago if you're from the suburbs. Like, Like, I don't. I hate when people say that because I'm from the suburbs and it's like, dude, who the fuck is going to know that I'm from Addison? Like, if they're like, oh, where are you from? It's like, Addison, right? Just say Chicago. I think that's so dumb. I hate. Where did I go? Oh, I hate how we haven't used geo weather to make Alaska warm to improve the economy. It's like. Like, you know how, like they could change the weather so it could be warmer?

[Kate]

Who's they?

[Big Cat]

Like people rats.

[Kate]

You're a bad gu.

[Mikey Betts]

No, Like, I thought. Didn't they do that in Beijing, like for the Olympics? They changed. I don't know, they removed the clouds.

[Big Cat]

But what do you want them to do to Alaska?

[Mikey Betts]

Make it warmer, like for a real estate. And like, you can get more bit. Like it improves the economy.

[Big Cat]

But wouldn't that have an effect on

[Mikey Betts]

all modified the weather to clear the skies, like, all right. Make it a little bit sunnier.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Kate]

They lessen pollution.

[Mikey Betts]

Isn't that good? Like, yeah, it's good. Hate how the super bowl halftime show turned into politics. Hey, Jack Daugherty or whatever his name is. His content. And I hate authority. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yeah, he sucks.

[Mikey Betts]

I hate how my kid is probably gonna be watching that stuff and then it makes me get into deep thoughts about how scary the future is. I hate.

[Big Cat]

Oh, that one was. Yeah, that one took a turn at the end.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. I hate when people say LeBron is better than Michael Jordan if they're from Chicago. Yeah. Sorry. Whiteboard. Hate that the Bulls have been depressing for the last 10 years. Hate server slash cashiers who have attitudes. And I'm sorry that you're in the service industry. Like, I. I can't stand that. Hate when the what?

[Titus]

What's the one you crossed out?

[Mikey Betts]

I don't know. I can't.

[Dana]

I.

[Big Cat]

Get the tv.

[Mikey Betts]

Can't read that one.

[Big Cat]

Get the TV back. Okay. What is it? What is one.

[Titus]

There's one that. There's one that's crossed out.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I'm not going to.

[Big Cat]

Come on, read it.

[Mikey Betts]

I can't. I can't even read it.

[Big Cat]

It's crossed up.

[Mikey Betts]

Hate that the casino is too far from my house. Hate when the neighbors.

[Big Cat]

You could move.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I can.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I didn't think of that. Hate when the neighbors call cops for dog poop in my own backyard. And then I got get a ticket for it.

[Big Cat]

Wait, what? That's what.

[Mikey Betts]

Remember, you're like, oh, you. You don't pick up your dog shit. Remember that?

[Kate]

Weren't they filming a video at your house, too?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I heard a rumor that you had a warrant out for your arrest for not picking up dog.

[Kate]

I heard a rumor that a cop showed asking for Michelle and nobody knew.

[Mikey Betts]

And I was like, yeah, I don't know who that is, even though that's my name. But I basically was out of town for three days for a work trip, and my dogs pooped in the backyard. And then usually I pick it up when I get back. Didn't do it because I got home late.

[Big Cat]

Out on the course, they're the PGA

[Kate]

Tour's best players, but in the arena, they're prime time.

[Big Cat]

And season two of TGO, presented by

[Kate]

SoFi, is back with lights, cameras, action.

[Big Cat]

We're talking big moments, big personalities, big names in the stands, all on the big screen. Big time matchups with shot clocks, Hammer

[Mikey Betts]

drops, timeouts, overtime, and playoffs.

[Big Cat]

It's city versus city, squad versus squad. The sport just hits different under the lights. It's TGL, presented by SoFi. Keep up. It's golf. Tune in to every match, only on espn.

[Mikey Betts]

Then I had the rough and rowdy promo, so they came over. And then a cop was like, yeah, you've been getting a lot of calls. You missed a court date for not picking up poop. I was like, what are you talking about, dude? And then he basically told me, he's like, if you don't pay this, like, you're gonna have a boring out for your rust by tomorrow.

[Big Cat]

It's your yard.

[Mikey Betts]

It's my backyard. It's a home association. But it's like, that doesn't matter either because it's fenced in. It's my backyard. I can do whatever I want.

[Big Cat]

So your neighbor, your direct neighbors complaint,

[Mikey Betts]

the one over Looking over, like, how much was it? Wait, three days worth. So eight piles.

[Big Cat]

Overlooking where?

[Mikey Betts]

My backyard.

[Mincy]

So it's a community yard.

[Mikey Betts]

No, it's. It's.

[Mincy]

But what do you mean?

[Kate]

What do you mean, overlooking?

[Mikey Betts]

I thought they could see the stories. Like, it's two. Two floors, right?

[Kate]

So it's their yard, too.

[Mikey Betts]

No, they, like, they could just see.

[Big Cat]

They live on.

[Mikey Betts]

I got a very small.

[Big Cat]

Live on top, or they live on top of you?

[Titus]

No, they live next.

[Mikey Betts]

They live across. And the other condo slash townhouse they live in. They live across from me.

[Big Cat]

It's not their yard.

[Mikey Betts]

No, it's not their yard.

[Big Cat]

They just see it.

[Mikey Betts]

They just see it.

[Whitney]

And.

[Titus]

And I. I believe you, but you're 100 positive it's not a shared yard.

[Mikey Betts]

Guys, I'm gonna. I'll take a picture of it. Oh, yeah, poop guy comes today. So, yeah, I got a poop guy because I didn't want to keep getting in trouble for this, so I was like, you know what?

[Big Cat]

You could have.

[Mikey Betts]

When I'm out of town, I was out of town.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yeah. All right, all right, all right. That's fair.

[Kate]

Where'd you find a poop guy?

[Mikey Betts]

His name is the poop guy. I complained about it on Facebook, and then I got an ad. So I was like, it. That person.

[Big Cat]

Perfect.

[Mikey Betts]

I'm gonna use this guy.

[Kate]

He just cleans up poop.

[Mikey Betts]

He just picks up dog poop. It's great. It's like 25 bucks a week. If I had, like, do it weekly. So. Okay.

[Big Cat]

I kind of. By the way, this whole. What you just explained, I respect your wife more. She's been like, it's your dog.

[Mikey Betts]

Oh, she. Yeah, she's like, I'm not, dude. That's not my job.

[Big Cat]

I love that.

[Mikey Betts]

That and trash. Like, she doesn't throw out the garbage. I have to do that.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

The poop guys coming today. Yeah. But you're back. What do you mean? You wanted me to go outside and pick up a poop. A week's worth of poop. I'm gonna do that.

[Big Cat]

Starting to feel like the cops might have been right.

[Mikey Betts]

No,

[Big Cat]

our TV's off, so keep going.

[Mikey Betts]

I hate how people drive in Europe. They just, like, do not care there. There's almost so many car accidents, it's insane. I hate that I got rid of all my Pokemon cards when I was young, and now they're a lot of money. I hate that the Bears moving to Indiana is going to be another slant for packers fans.

[Big Cat]

They're not going to.

[Mikey Betts]

I know, but, like, if they do, like, that's just.

[Big Cat]

I don't think they will.

[Mikey Betts]

You don't think so?

[Big Cat]

I. I don't think everything I've read,

[Nick]

I don't think so either.

[Mikey Betts]

I think.

[Big Cat]

I think that was like.

[Mikey Betts]

Like a.

[Big Cat]

It sounded like the. The state of Illinois was ready to, like, have a meeting and Kevin Warren just. No.

[Mikey Betts]

Showed it.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And they're just using this as, like, leverage. Big time leverage.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm assuming. But I still, like, gotten deep thought of, like, dude, these packers fans.

[Nick]

It's not impossible.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it's not impossible, but I would still bet on Illinois.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. Yeah, me too. I. I love it In Arlington Heights. Would be great. Where are we at? Hate Bulls fans who don't care about division rivalries, like the. The Pistons, the Bucks, the Pacers. Like, they don't. They don't show up to the games or, like, get hyped up for it.

[Kate]

Ed, why'd that make you laugh?

[Nick]

I mean, I just.

[Big Cat]

I don't. Divisions are nothing in basketball.

[Mikey Betts]

That's the LeBron mentality. Like, that's literally like.

[Big Cat]

No, but. No, no, no, that's. LeBron said.

[Mikey Betts]

That's what LeBron.

[Big Cat]

Hold on. But I don't know if LeBron. Listen, I. I don't like LeBron either, but I don't know if LeBron created that. I think it's the fact that it literally means nothing.

[Mikey Betts]

No, he. He created it with. Yeah, I know it means nothing, but

[Big Cat]

some follow along here if. I would get it if, like, it meant anything, but they've created it so that it means nothing in terms of seating or anything.

[Mikey Betts]

I know, but it meant so much,

[Big Cat]

like, when it meant for seating.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I guess you're right. It's still a. I just wish. I just wish it meant more.

[Titus]

Why? How's it LeBron's fault?

[Mikey Betts]

Because he turned the All Star Game into, like, a laugh factory. Because he's like, oh, who needs Easton west anymore? There's no more. Who cares? It's a free for all love. Everybody loves everybody Dumb. Like, just keep it east, keep it west. Have something matter, like, just for fun. And LeBron ruined it.

[Titus]

Those conferences, though.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Dana]

That's all.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, the conferences. There's the east versus west rivalry was pretty fun. Like, oh, yeah, the east sucks. Are gonna get smoked all the time.

[Titus]

You were arguing, but you were talking about the vision.

[Mikey Betts]

I know, but like, so how did

[Titus]

he ruin the visions?

[Mikey Betts]

Because it's a. It's a Dominican Reaganomics mark.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I have a.

[Mikey Betts]

Take that.

[Big Cat]

It's probably going to be. I hate interleague play. I think they ruined it.

[Nick]

Wow.

[Big Cat]

I think they ruined it.

[Dana]

Used to be sick.

[Big Cat]

It used to be sick when it was like, there's a three week stretch in June or I think it was like June or July and they're like, we're going to do interleague play right now and that's it. I don't, I don't need it. You know what I mean? Like, I don't want to be like, hey, we're opening the season with the Mariners.

[Mikey Betts]

Right? That's the problem.

[Titus]

Last year the Cubs didn't have a division team come to Wrigley until like late June or.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, we didn't play like the Cardinals till the end of the season.

[Titus]

It was crazy.

[Mikey Betts]

That's not fun. Like, you want those rivalry games, you want that the other teams fans to come in and like, oh, like have a little like, like space.

[Big Cat]

It's fun. I actually, and I'll even go one further. I actually think they should get rid of interleague altogether.

[Titus]

I'm with you.

[Big Cat]

Like, it was kind of an allure to be like, we don't know how these teams match up.

[Titus]

Yeah, I'm with you.

[Big Cat]

They have no common opponent.

[Mikey Betts]

I do.

[Nick]

Like, what if it rotated like every five years?

[Big Cat]

What do you mean?

[Nick]

Like one year you had interlink.

[Mikey Betts]

You play like a certain.

[Nick]

Yeah, because you are right. I remember buying tickets to Red Sox at Wrigley for the first time. Like 80 years.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it was awesome. It was like a three. Yeah. There's like, hey, this is the interleague time. And then we're going back to the regular schedule now it's just so interspersed that you just. Oh, yeah, okay.

[Nick]

You know. Oh, yes.

[Big Cat]

We're playing the Tigers.

[Mikey Betts]

I feel like they took away the spark of it. Like, like what made it so fun.

[Big Cat]

I also, I also hate the DH and the nl.

[Titus]

Thank you.

[Mikey Betts]

I do too.

[Big Cat]

I, I, I just thought the fact that the game was a little different and then when you get to the World Series, you're like, well, they gotta go no DH in the NL park. Like, that was cool.

[Titus]

It doesn't make sense that there's two MVPs in baseball now.

[Big Cat]

Agreed.

[Titus]

Now if you're gonna have.

[Big Cat]

Good point.

[Titus]

If you're gonna have everybody play everybody and there's no rule difference.

[Big Cat]

Best player.

[Titus]

Why, why have a.

[Big Cat]

That's so true.

[Mikey Betts]

I think we just need to go back in time and just like make things more like valuable, I guess. Because that's the problem.

[Big Cat]

Actually a Good point.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. Because there. It's just now everything is so diluted that, like, oh, here's this mvp. Here's this mvp. Here's this, here's that. It's like, why not work harder for just one big one?

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. Wow.

[Big Cat]

Good point, Mike.

[Kate]

Wow.

[Mikey Betts]

Thanks, guys. Appreciate that.

[Kate]

What was your point, Big cat?

[Big Cat]

But it's okay. We tag teamed it.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, thanks.

[Big Cat]

We both got there.

[Mikey Betts]

Hate that I'm so into the Game of Thrones stuff. Like, I dogged it for years, and then I just found out I loved it. Like, it's so good. It's just like dragons and you.

[Big Cat]

So you.

[Titus]

You dogged it before you watched it or you.

[Mikey Betts]

I dogged it. I was like, you guys are so lame.

[Big Cat]

Did you think, like, millions upon millions of people were just lying?

[Mikey Betts]

I thought they were like, like losers. Like, so dumb. Who's gonna walk? I get this fairy tale shit.

[Big Cat]

I understand it. But it also, like, when there's something super, super popular and I don't like it, it's like, it's most likely me.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's why I. I was like, you know what?

[Kate]

Pokemon's the most valuable IP on earth, and you still on it.

[Big Cat]

And it's me. I understand.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Mikey Betts]

Okay, Nerd. I like. I like Pokemon. Pokemon's good. I hate that I have so many notes on this list. I hate that I decided to use a Sharpie to write this. I hate that. I hate people who complain about Chicago deep dish pizza if they're from, like, a place like Colorado. Like, you have green chili, you don't get to. The deep dish pizza stinks. It's like, you don't get to talk about anything. We have good. And you don't. Like, Like, I can't stand that shit.

[Big Cat]

Deep dish pizza does need, like, a rebrand in the fact that it's not. Not something you eat all the time.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Nick]

But that doesn't make it bad. It's good.

[Big Cat]

It's very good. That's what I'm saying. But I. If I ate it as much as I eat regular pizza, I would not probably like it.

[Nick]

Sure.

[Mikey Betts]

Right.

[Big Cat]

But I. I get it probably once a month, and every time I do, it hits the spot.

[Nick]

Good.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, Right.

[Mikey Betts]

That's. Yeah, exactly.

[Big Cat]

And it's like, I think that people think that that's the only pizza.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

In Chicago. That's why it needs a rebrand. Italian beef should have the reputation deep dish has, but it's.

[Kate]

It's not even a competition because people don't even know Italian beef.

[Big Cat]

Exists right side of Chicago.

[Mikey Betts]

I have a beef.

[Kate]

That's my hate.

[Mikey Betts]

I have a beef hate somewhere.

[Nick]

I think that's because a lot of places have things adjacent to French dip.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Like Philly cheesesteak.

[Nick]

Like, did you like. I heard it's the Buffalo. The beef on weck.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yeah. So had it, but not. It's kind of similar to Italian beef.

[Kate]

That's what the third W in Buffalo. BW3s is.

[Big Cat]

Weck.

[Nick]

No idea.

[Kate]

Beef on the wake.

[Big Cat]

What was that?

[Titus]

You're boratting?

[Kate]

Beef on whack.

[Big Cat]

That's never been done.

[Kate]

Yeah, I've done that for a bit.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. No, it's actually like the. Going to a. A good bar Bill in. In Buffalo is awesome. Like, the perfect meal is like a dozen wings and a beef on whack. It's a lot of food. But I just realized that as I was saying that eating a full sandwich and

[Whitney]

he's not here.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, there it is. Yeah.

[Kate]

Look at that whack chase. Say the line. Say the famous line. Beef on the way.

[Mikey Betts]

All right. I hate that Europe gets so much love even though they're nothing without us. And if you go to, like, Cancun or any other resort In Mexico, it's 10 times better with.

[Big Cat]

Europe's nothing without us.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. So World War II.

[Big Cat]

Do you know about World War II?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I watched a lot of documentaries on Netflix.

[Big Cat]

Now, we obviously had a part in World War II.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, we.

[Big Cat]

We came in pretty late last, Right?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Russia was starting to fuck some shit up.

[Mikey Betts]

That's what you think. So you think. I think if one. If American comes the. What's the. The Amazon show, Like the man on the High Castle.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

That shit happens to Europe.

[Big Cat]

You think so?

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

100. Okay.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. If you. If, if. If America didn't do what they did, they'd be done.

[Big Cat]

We definitely had a significant part, but Russia was fighting.

[Mikey Betts]

What's his face. Who's the guy? The Churchill. He was begging for us to join.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

He was crying.

[Big Cat]

Oh, they had thrown him back. You know the Battle of Britain.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Do you think we.

[Mikey Betts]

A bit. And then they got. They got. What's it called? Blitzkrieg or whatever. They got knocked. Knocked around. What's creed. Yeah, Blitzkrieg. There you go.

[Titus]

But we wouldn't be here without Europe.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. Who cares? Dude, this is.

[Big Cat]

I wanna. I kind of need Mike Mikey as a history teacher. He just. Blah, blah, blah. Who cares? The first 10,000.

[Whitney]

Blah, blah, blah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, blah, blah, blah. 1776.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Stormed the beaches of Normandy and our Boys saved Europe.

[Mikey Betts]

All right. I hate that people act like the carnival cruises are too rowdy, but they look perfectly fine to me.

[Big Cat]

That would track.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, right. Like, it's. I don't understand what you.

[Big Cat]

I mean.

[Mikey Betts]

Oh, for me?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, you're. You're maybe like, putting you on a poster cruise guy.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, it would be.

[Nick]

You're part of the rowdy.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

100.

[Nick]

Correct.

[Mikey Betts]

What does this say? Oh, I hate when the slots hit a bonus. And you would know about this. When you hit a bonus and it's like a 20 payout on a bonus. That's the worst feeling in the world. The worst feeling in the world when it's like, you know, you're all right, cool. I'm gonna make 100, 200 bucks right here. And then it's like 20 bucks.

[Nick]

It's.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, it's absolutely insane. I hate that in Chicago there's no cooler birds like flamingos and pelicans. Yeah, it would be a lot cooler to, like, you see, like, flamingos in. In Lake Michigan.

[Big Cat]

I think we got to figure that out.

[Mikey Betts]

The weather. Oh, yeah, there's another weather one. I hate that they still haven't found out a way to drain the swamp lands and create more real estate in Florida.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Like, all of it's connected, though. Like, if you made Alaska super warm and the Florida swamplands, like, super dry, I think it would probably fuck some other shit up.

[Mikey Betts]

But we can grow anything anywhere now, so who cares? We got the GMO stuff.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Nick]

All right.

[Mikey Betts]

You could grow a banana in Alaska right now if you wanted to. With GMOs.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. True, true, true.

[Kate]

Is that true?

[Nick]

No.

[Big Cat]

I don't know.

[Mikey Betts]

I'm gonna go with it. I'm pretty sure it is. Yeah. I'm pretty sure you just put like one geno code or whatever to grow in snow or whatever and you're good. Hate that everyone victims himself when left handed people literally get told it's righty's world. I feel like the. The left handed people are the most discriminated people, like, in the world and it's only 13 of us and we don't get to say anything about it. Like, there's no. Like, if you complain about, oh, I'm writing on here and the. The thing on the notebook is Crunch Mirror. Yeah, just deal with it. It's like, that's. That's annoying.

[Kate]

When you're sitting next to somebody at a restaurant, you bump them all the time.

[Mikey Betts]

Me and my wife do that all the time because she's a righty. I'm a lefty. I hate it. And so I got to sit on that, got to get up. It's so annoying.

[Dana]

I think think most people are like, that'd be sick if I was a lefty.

[Mikey Betts]

I like being a lefty.

[Dana]

I would like to be a lefty.

[Big Cat]

My son is a lefty.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, lefties are awesome. I just. I think that it's. The world doesn't accommodate to lefties enough.

[Titus]

There's a.

[Big Cat]

Well, there's only 13.

[Kate]

There was a lefty store at Fisher.

[Titus]

Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. I saw that.

[Mikey Betts]

There's a lefty.

[Kate]

There's a lefty store at this.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, they have one in Schomburg somewhere or. Yeah, Schomburg or Glen Ellen.

[Nick]

They're going at Disney too.

[Mikey Betts]

Oh, really?

[Titus]

Go in there, Nick.

[Kate]

I didn't. I should have.

[Titus]

I started playing to think that it was all just like normal. It was.

[Kate]

I think it's upside down notebooks.

[Titus]

I started playing left handed people.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

It doesn't change, but it is for.

[Titus]

Everything's the exact same.

[Big Cat]

We should open that.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, that would be great.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Snickers bar for lefties.

[Mikey Betts]

Like, even my. I got a shotgun and it's a lefty shotgun. So I could put it the. The magazines in the left side instead of like, like, like fumbling around with the right side. It's like you have to pay extra for that, though. Like, that's up. I hate that.

[Kate]

Make the graphic. Mikey Betts lefty.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I'm more concerned that you own a shotgun, but yeah, it was for.

[Mikey Betts]

For deer hunting.

[Big Cat]

Oh, okay.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

How many guns you own?

[Mikey Betts]

Four.

[Titus]

Okay.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, four. Four. Four guns. Yeah. I have my ccl. I don't carry it obviously here, but in my car I always got it.

[Big Cat]

I just think about, like, maybe this is the moment that America realizes we have a gun problem. Mikey. They're like, oh, wait. Oh, wait. This kind of fucked up.

[Mincy]

I'm only hunting rats.

[Mikey Betts]

I hate when people, Politicians in Chicago focus on only the touristy part of Chicago and give no love to the west side slash south side. Like Little village East Garfield Park. I like they. They don't talk about it at all. And like, I think it's more of a slap in the face to the west and the south side than it is to like, promote how good Chicago is with this part. But they don't want to do anything but to help them in the west side of the south side.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Mikey Betts]

I hate when people don't like or don't get the Sopranos. Like when you try to talk about it like, yeah, it just wasn't for me. I don't understand that. Because it's just a great show. Like, it's universally, it's like the Godfather. It's a universally, like, great.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

And people, like, will just knock it because they don't see it.

[Big Cat]

It'd be like someone saying they don't like, like chocolate covered pretzels.

[Mikey Betts]

I am. Exactly, I guess. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Is that you?

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

No, you're right. You're wrong. Really?

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

You don't like chocolate. Okay. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I like them separate.

[Dana]

I feel like you like everything I know.

[Big Cat]

I like them separate. I like chocolate and pretzels.

[Mikey Betts]

Would you ever dip it like. No, warm.

[Big Cat]

I want to eat the pretzel, then eat the chocolate. Then eat the pretzel.

[Nick]

Great flaw.

[Big Cat]

And eat the chocolate.

[Dana]

It's a bad take.

[Nick]

Great flaw. By our guy.

[Titus]

Yeah, I like.

[Big Cat]

By me.

[Nick]

Yes.

[Dana]

I agree with mostly every one of your food takes.

[Titus]

I like therapy shows and I like mob shows. But don't put them together. Please don't put them together.

[Kate]

Oh, that would never make sense.

[Mikey Betts]

I hate how tiki bars close to a fast in Chicago that every time they open like the now it's like, saddle up in Wrigleyville. They don't have the, the tiki bar they used to have.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yeah. So I mean, Wrigleyville is. I, I, it sucks. What kind of like, it's obviously awesome that especially with the fact that, like, the bears might move to Indiana. They made Wrigley that can sustain forever. But yeah, I do miss all those bars on the East.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. Just random bar hopping. Like, very fun. And now it's like always country theme now.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

We doing.

[Big Cat]

They've all kind of become generic.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. But the tiki bar was so different.

[Big Cat]

Like, yeah, just like, well, you got to go to Trader Todd's now.

[Mikey Betts]

Where's Trader Todd's?

[Big Cat]

You know, Trader Todd's, dude, Karaoke bar is karaoke bar. And really, dude, Those favorite. It's on Sheffield. Okay. Belmont.

[Mikey Betts]

All right, let's go.

[Big Cat]

If you go with the ticket stub that I think, do they still do that? You get a free drink. They used to do that.

[Nick]

I don't think so. Your life is going to change.

[Big Cat]

Oh, my God, Mikey.

[Kate]

Karaoke all day, dude.

[Big Cat]

It's karaoke all the time. Yeah, I got a tiki bar.

[Mikey Betts]

I, I go to, like, this one in Wooddale that's literally like half the size of this room. And it's.

[Big Cat]

Oh, we got to go to Trader Todd's together.

[Mikey Betts]

All right, cool. Yeah, we'll do Trader Todd's.

[Big Cat]

It's so exciting. They have a. They have a shuttle that takes you to the stadium.

[Mikey Betts]

Really? Like Reggie's.

[Big Cat]

Like, which really isn't necessary because it's like. It's like five minute walk.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, but they still gotta take the ride.

[Nick]

Yeah. Hell yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

All right. Yeah, we gotta do that. It's not so fun.

[Big Cat]

Definitely. I'm in.

[Mikey Betts]

What is this word?

[Big Cat]

I used to go to Trader Shots all the time after the game.

[Mikey Betts]

Oh, I hate. I hate. I. Like before work I'll watch a tick tock and then like I'll start crying in the car because like some. It's like a sad tick tock and then my eyes get red. And like, I hate that because it's just a bad way to look. Walking in the room or the office. I hate vibe killers.

[Big Cat]

Like a lot of these are fixable, man. Right? Yeah. You just got to move close to a casino. Stop watching tick tocks.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I guess it is like mostly and so.

[Big Cat]

Pick up your chain. Pick up your dog.

[Kate]

Pick up your own dog.

[Mikey Betts]

Self inflicted.

[Big Cat]

Basically are in a good spot.

[Mikey Betts]

It would wipe out half the list. I hate vibe killers. Like, Like I. I'm naturally like an introvert, but I still will go out of the way to like do stuff and like be.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Like force myself. So I hate people. I was like, no, I'm an introvert. It's like, just go out and do it.

[Big Cat]

Stop being Titus.

[Mikey Betts]

I hate that.

[Titus]

This verse world, huh?

[Nick]

What's wrong?

[Titus]

All the things you're saying about the left handers doesn't apply to introverts.

[Mikey Betts]

You're an introvert.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah, me too.

[Titus]

Okay, so why. Why should. Why should we have to.

[Kate]

Why is he killing the vibe if he doesn't want to go out?

[Mikey Betts]

Fun dude.

[Titus]

But that is fun.

[Big Cat]

Sounds like you're an extrovert, Mike.

[Titus]

Yeah, it sounds like you might be an extra.

[Mikey Betts]

No, I'm an introvert at heart.

[Titus]

Okay.

[Mikey Betts]

I love.

[Kate]

Do you like going out?

[Big Cat]

I don't know about that.

[Kate]

Would you rather drink at a bar or at home?

[Mikey Betts]

At a bar.

[Big Cat]

You're an extra.

[Titus]

Would you rather be around people having a good time or be at home?

[Kate]

And the best part about turkey was hanging out with all the boys.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Kate]

It was just.

[Big Cat]

You are not an introvert.

[Mikey Betts]

I think I'm an introvert. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

No.

[Mikey Betts]

100 an introvert.

[Dana]

I like.

[Nick]

No.

[Big Cat]

You know why you're not an introvert? Because you think the Titus hated you.

[Titus]

Yeah. And I never that's why I never said any. I never did anything. I just.

[Big Cat]

You think that people who don't talk to you hate you. The people who aren't talking to you are introverts.

[Mikey Betts]

You need to lighten up more.

[Big Cat]

Like, what does that mean?

[Titus]

What does lighting up mean?

[Nick]

Say, hi.

[Mikey Betts]

Hey.

[Whitney]

Nice.

[Mikey Betts]

And hey.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Going like, good to see you.

[Titus]

Okay.

[Nick]

Mikey, you were told to work from home.

[Titus]

Okay.

[Mikey Betts]

I know.

[Nick]

Would have been a lot of people's dreams. And you barged down the door and

[Big Cat]

you're like, yeah, I know.

[Mikey Betts]

That was kind of crazy. I can't believe I did that, too.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, Yeah. I mean, that was a mistake. A mistake saying, don't come to the office. I mean, Dave said that, right?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, Dave said, don't come to the office. And I was like, okay. And he was like. He was like, why are you in the office? I was like, I'm in Italy right now. And he was like, people are telling me that you're in the office. I was like, no, I'm. I'm in Italy.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And, yeah, that was a mistake. I want you in the office.

[Mikey Betts]

Thanks. I appreciate it. Yeah. He basically said, don't come into the office. And I said, okay. And then I asked you, like, three months later, and then you said, yeah,

[Big Cat]

yeah, come in the office.

[Mikey Betts]

And then I hid in the. The ghost or the.

[Big Cat]

The.

[Mikey Betts]

The room upstairs for, like, introvert room.

[Kate]

Introvert room.

[Mikey Betts]

See, I was an introvert for, like, a year and a half.

[Big Cat]

Our VIP room. Our best room.

[Mikey Betts]

VIP room.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

All right. What else do I got? I hate how strict the rules were in Turkey. Like, you couldn't smoke weed. I think that was so stupid.

[Kate]

But they sold batteries.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. It's so stupid. Like, you get, like, I don't know, like, two to five years for having. We are smoking.

[Kate]

God damn.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. It's insane. It's crazy. But then you could sell Xanax over the counter. It was, like, the wildest thing in the world. I couldn't understand this country. I hate how weed is. Used to be so strict now. And now it's fine. Like, you could just rip a pen wherever, or smoke weed wherever. Like, I.

[Kate]

Why do you hate that?

[Mikey Betts]

Because I was, like, smoking a lot more back then, and then I would get in a lot more trouble if I got caught. Like, it was just dumb. Like, it's. It's dumb that. Like, why was it like that? Why wasn't it like that forever? Oh, yeah.

[Big Cat]

Okay. Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Like, I get mad that you're mad.

[Big Cat]

About the past.

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Mad about it.

[Kate]

But it's fixed.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, they fixed it. But you're still mad.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I'm just. Yes, exactly. They fixed it, but I'm still, like, thinking about it, like, dude, that was so dumb that if I was smoking on a blunt, like, I would get arrested.

[Mincy]

Right?

[Mikey Betts]

Like, I thought that was so crazy. All right. I hate that food has so many calories.

[Big Cat]

It would have been so funny if you followed that up with, like, I hate that women couldn't vote for a while. Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. I don't have that one in here. Hate how soccer is the number one sport. I hate how people. It's not globally. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

But here.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. Not here. Yeah. Yeah, 100. I hate how people blame Tibbs for D. Rose's injury. I hate how people complain about Chicago winter when they get, like, hurricanes and earthquakes. Like, you don't like, that's. I think that's very dumb that you could complain about somebody's weather when you could die from, like, a hurricane.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

I think that's dumb.

[Titus]

Cold won't kill you.

[Mikey Betts]

I hate that there isn't a nationwide Mardi Gras celebration because it feels like they're doing a Super bowl party and we're missing out on it.

[Big Cat]

That's a good one.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. I think it should be nationwide. You should be doing, like, yeah, everything.

[Big Cat]

That's a real. And that's also a really, that's a really good one for an introvert like you.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. Like, yeah.

[Big Cat]

Why are, why don't we have more parties?

[Mikey Betts]

We need more parties.

[Big Cat]

The most non introvert guy ever.

[Mikey Betts]

I'm pretty introvert. I swear to God.

[Titus]

Yeah, he really is. I'm sitting here thinking about it. I think you might be the single least introverted person.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. He just said he wishes there was a bigger party going on. I, I, that's not what an introvert would say.

[Mikey Betts]

Chicago Mardi Gras would go.

[Big Cat]

It would be. I, I, It's a great take.

[Mikey Betts]

I hate bad beef sandwiches at beef shops. Like, if you are a beef shop, you should have a good beef. You should, you should not have some, like, shitty plastic tasting beef or waxy. I hate how the traffic lights in Chicago are faster than the suburb ones. That means you get more red light tickets in the city.

[Big Cat]

I think that's probably more the cameras. More cameras in the city.

[Mikey Betts]

It does. Like, so in the, in the suburbs, it'll be yellow and then you'll, it'll be like three, two longer yellow, one red. Yeah. Way longer yellow.

[Big Cat]

But also there are way more traffic Cameras in the city?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I got a traffic camera that bangs me every time because it's.

[Whitney]

I have one, too.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it's like a. It's one of those ones that's. It's like the. The school zone. 30 miles an hour. If you go, like, 33. Yeah, but it's your frontal lane.

[Kate]

It is.

[Whitney]

Is it right over here? Because.

[Nick]

Oh, the one.

[Big Cat]

There was one right here.

[Whitney]

It gets me.

[Big Cat]

There's also one on Ashley, and I'm

[Whitney]

careful in a school zone.

[Nick]

We were coming up on one going to the Cubs game, and you're like. I'm like, yo, be careful, camera. Because you're kind of going fast, and then you're like, oh, I just get them all the time. I don't care.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that is true.

[Nick]

I'm like, dude, I know exactly where all of them are.

[Big Cat]

But it gets you.

[Whitney]

If you're going, like, one mile an hour over it.

[Big Cat]

Get.

[Whitney]

You see the flash going, like, that's new.

[Big Cat]

And this one's like, no, I am like. Like, I'm paying a significant portion of, like, Chicago's budget.

[Mikey Betts]

Dude. There was a while I just wasn't paying them because my friends was like, you don't got to pay them. Like, the city doesn't own them. And I was like, oh, yeah, you're right.

[Big Cat]

So not right. Wrong.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I got. That's why I got so many boots on my car, dude.

[Nick]

Wrong.

[Titus]

But you know what I love, and I bet we can find common ground here.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Is the. The. When you're driving at an intersection and you see the crosswalk and they put the. The sign up, and it's flashing the. The number of seconds left.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Titus]

So you, as a driver know how much time you have to get to the light.

[Mikey Betts]

You hate that or you like.

[Titus]

I love it.

[Mikey Betts]

Oh, yeah, me too.

[Titus]

Right? Isn't that a great addition?

[Kate]

Yeah, I do love that.

[Titus]

That you see seven seconds. It's gonna turn yellow in, like, seven seconds.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[Mikey Betts]

Because not. And you're not like. Okay. Do I have to break? Can I still do 40? Yeah.

[Titus]

Yeah. See? See, we got a lot in common.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

It's two introverts.

[Titus]

Two introverts who love knowing how much time until it turns yellow.

[Big Cat]

I wish KB was here for the introvert thing. He'd be losing.

[Titus]

He would have fallen out of his chair right now.

[Big Cat]

KB is an introvert.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, for sure.

[Big Cat]

Like, when you have an awkward conversation with kb, that's because he's naturally an introvert.

[Mikey Betts]

I don't think I've ever had an Awkward conversation with kb, a nice guy.

[Big Cat]

Okay, maybe that you guys.

[Mikey Betts]

But maybe I'm not self aware enough to understand that it's an awkward conversation.

[Mincy]

Like you'd want to be an extrovert.

[Big Cat]

Like, you're being humble about it right now.

[Mikey Betts]

I. I feel like I'm more of an introvert. Like at home. I like being home. Like, I don't really like going out unless it's like Thursday or Monday. Thursday or Friday.

[Big Cat]

Monday Night Football. You go to the bar every Monday Night Football.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, but it's off season.

[Big Cat]

But I'm saying you go to the bar every Monday Night Football.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. That's a tradition.

[Big Cat]

That is the most extrovert thing you could possibly do.

[Mikey Betts]

I guess it's.

[Big Cat]

And you're like, I gotta be at a bar.

[Titus]

I gotta.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, but it's Monday Night Football.

[Titus]

Gotta be out.

[Big Cat]

Where are you supposed to watch it? Monday's the number one day of like, yeah, I could chill at home.

[Titus]

Yeah. Restaurants aren't even. Most of them, like, that's the day they take off.

[Mikey Betts]

No one wants to go out on Monday. No, that's the day that wings are 99 special.

[Whitney]

I also feel like introverts shy away from confrontation. And you.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that's another good point. He's yelling at. He's yelling at cashiers.

[Mikey Betts]

I'm gonna try to dial back on that after the Frank fight. I'm gonna try to dial back and start learning.

[Big Cat]

That's not gonna stop.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I guess I am confrontational. I hate how my hair is going to take so long to grow back. I hope. I hate people who don't open up to other cultures. Even though, like, America is the best. They just don't open up to other cultures. Like, Like, I don't know.

[Kate]

Do you hate yourself?

[Big Cat]

That seems pretty hypocritical how. And for everything else you just said.

[Whitney]

Said.

[Mikey Betts]

I said America's the best, but you could still be open to other cultures.

[Big Cat]

Got it. Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

America is the greatest country in the world, but you could be open to Mexico. Mexican food is great. Italian food is great. Polish food's not the best. But like, you could be. You could be open. You know, you can be open. And it's mainly about food.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I was gonna say it seems like very food.

[Mikey Betts]

All right, we're almost done. I hate how people who think that tanking is a good idea in the NBA when there's about to be a whole punishment for it. I hate how Rodman, Grant, Noah and Dang's jerseys aren't Retired. I hate both. Jim Boylans, Scott Skiles, Fred Hoiberg.

[Big Cat]

Not Vinnie.

[Mikey Betts]

He's Italian. Okay.

[Big Cat]

Respect.

[Mikey Betts]

I hate how

[Big Cat]

this shitty Bulls coach was Italian, so I'll never say a bad word about him.

[Mikey Betts]

Oh, I hate how Walter White grew his hair out for the last season of Breaking Bad. It just. He didn't look like Heisenberg, so that pissed me off. Like, I didn't like that at all.

[Nick]

He's undercover.

[Dana]

Yeah. He didn't want to look like.

[Mikey Betts]

I know. I just hated it. Like, it just sucked. I just missed how he used to look. Hate people who complain about Sopranos ending. Like, I. I don't understand what you're complaining about. And then I hate who.

[Nick]

People.

[Mikey Betts]

I hate people who call Tony Soprano a bad guy. So those are my.

[Big Cat]

He was a murderer.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. But he. He had some problems. He had some issues. Like, he was fine. He was a good guy at heart. Italian.

[Nick]

Loved.

[Big Cat]

He loved the.

[Mikey Betts]

He loved the horses. He loved the animals. Like, it's. He's a good guy.

[Big Cat]

Love the horses. Love the animals. Murdered human beings.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. But those human beings made their choice and their decision. Like, they did wrong things. Animals didn't do anything wrong. This. The. If the human did something in that business. Yeah, that's their problem.

[Big Cat]

Kept it in the family.

[Nick]

Yeah. Is Ralph a bad guy?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, Ralphie's a bad guy. He's a bad guy. Kill a horse.

[Titus]

What about.

[Big Cat]

Oh, that's all it takes.

[Mikey Betts]

What.

[Kate]

What about he's a rat?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, he was a rat.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, he's a bad guy.

[Mikey Betts]

He's a rat.

[Big Cat]

He's Italian, though.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, but he's a rat. It's like working for the FBI is an Italian.

[Big Cat]

Oh, you're saying like, actual FBI agents that are Italian?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. Why you don't do that?

[Big Cat]

Oh, I love that list. Mikey. That was great.

[Mikey Betts]

I appreciate you guys. Let me do that. Sorry.

[Big Cat]

You feel better?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I got a lot off my chest, so I appreciate you guys.

[Titus]

Yeah, you got to be exhausted as an introvert. Yeah.

[Kate]

Your social battery.

[Titus]

You have to be just.

[Mikey Betts]

No.

[Titus]

Completely.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, I guess you're right.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

I get that way too, though.

[Titus]

Okay, that's.

[Big Cat]

[Nick]

I what would you say you are, Nick?

[Kate]

I'm introverted.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I don't think so.

[Kate]

You don't think so?

[Big Cat]

No, I don't.

[Kate]

I go to, I don't go to like any I parties. I don't stay out late. I got to get home by like 10. I panic.

[Big Cat]

I But you like have, you are friends with everyone and people reach out to you a lot.

[Kate]

I don't think the introverted means that you like.

[Big Cat]

I think it does.

[Dana]

You're social.

[Kate]

I'm social. Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Kate]

I, I, I, I enjoy being home more than I like being out.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, well, I mean, I do too, but I'm not an introvert. Like, I'm a homebody.

[Kate]

There might just need to be more than like homebody. Okay. Yeah. But like, if I'm out for too long and I won't go out multiple days in a row, I don't really do like Christmas parties or stuff like that. I, I don't know.

[Big Cat]

Also, it is a sliding scale, I'd assume. And if just by the basis of working here, you're not on the extreme side of intro.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Right.

[Big Cat]

You know what I mean? Like Even KB and Titus couldn't be considered on the extreme side, cuz they're able to be on camera and talk

[Kate]

to people for hours.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

You know what I hate?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Give it to us. You get a list if you have some.

[Dana]

That I just have one or orange peeling.

[Kate]

Yeah, that's it.

[Dana]

With your hands. It's so hard.

[Big Cat]

You gotta bite it.

[Dana]

I know, but I don't want to bite it because then it squirts.

[Kate]

How many oranges you eat?

[Big Cat]

You bite the top.

[Titus]

You just.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Do you have a lot of.

[Dana]

Still sucks.

[Big Cat]

Are you talking about real oranges or clementine?

[Dana]

Real oranges.

[Whitney]

It hurts sometimes.

[Big Cat]

Those are when they get the little knot at the top. That's the best though, because that's just.

[Dana]

No, but those are. That's. You don't get that that often.

[Kate]

I had a sense of a teacher

[Big Cat]

in high school that could do it in one peel and that was like

[Kate]

his trick that I feel like that's not.

[Big Cat]

Not crazy hard.

[Kate]

Not that I've done it.

[Titus]

I don't know.

[Kate]

I think it's tough.

[Whitney]

You could do that with an apple too.

[Mikey Betts]

Okay. You're talking about the sumos.

[Big Cat]

Is that what they are?

[Mikey Betts]

These types of.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, those are.

[Kate]

Oh, I hate looking at the top of them.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, but those are.

[Kate]

I don't want to look at the top.

[Big Cat]

That's a handle to. To start the people.

[Kate]

Oh, yeah. You were gonna bite that emerald.

[Big Cat]

I bite them like a grenade.

[Nick]

Oh.

[Dana]

But when you don't have those, it's the worst thing ever.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. When you get one that's like really, like really like tight to it. It does suck.

[Kate]

How often do you have oranges though?

[Dana]

I got.

[Big Cat]

You know what's another one that's brutal.

[Titus]

Like a naval orange.

[Big Cat]

When you up your hard boiled eggs. Oh, yeah.

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Hard enough. Yeah, yeah.

[Big Cat]

They're not hard enough. So. So you're peeling like little tiny pieces like a hundred times. Shell sticks. And by the time you're done with, you're like, I don't even want this.

[Dana]

It's.

[Kate]

It's been tampered with. Nobody's excited to be having a hard boiled egg anyway. And the fact that it's putting up a fight, that's almost the universe telling you wit.

[Whitney]

I love a deviled egg. I haven't had one in a long time time.

[Big Cat]

Get yourself one.

[Whitney]

I might get. I might treat myself to a devil dag this weekend.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Whitney]

All right. Clip it. That's gonna do. That's gonna do. Numbies boys.

[Kate]

Kate's Wild weekend.

[Big Cat]

What do you Got you got another hate.

[Dana]

I haven't done. No, I haven't done a day in a Tries in a little bit. A couple days. I'm gonna do a Chicago dog.

[Big Cat]

You've never had one.

[Nick]

So you've never had one.

[Dana]

Like when Portugal with, like, the pickle and the tomatoes.

[Big Cat]

And you're gonna do all of it.

[Dana]

I want to.

[Big Cat]

Celery sauce, salt.

[Dana]

Yeah. I would like one of the actual Chicago dogs.

[Whitney]

I didn't have a Chicago dog till I moved here, and now it's the only kind of hot dog I enjoy. Like, I can't eat a regular with.

[Big Cat]

You go full. Full with every pickle.

[Whitney]

Yes.

[Dana]

That feels.

[Whitney]

Burger Baron makes a good one right here. Yeah, but it's like. I tell myself it's like a salad a little bit.

[Dana]

Does it have the little green.

[Whitney]

Huh?

[Kate]

Burger bear needs a Kate statue out front.

[Dana]

No, dude, I know it relishes, but this is extra. It looks like a celery sea green.

[Big Cat]

Celery salt.

[Dana]

That's what that is.

[Big Cat]

No, but I think you're just talking about relish that has a different color.

[Kate]

Very green. It's mustard.

[Titus]

Relish.

[Kate]

Onion, tomato, pickle, sport pepper.

[Big Cat]

Celery salt.

[Dana]

Celery salt is like the. The turquoise.

[Nick]

No, no.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Kate]

You won't be able to really see.

[Dana]

What is that on the right.

[Big Cat]

That's relish.

[Nick]

Relish.

[Dana]

But why is it so green?

[Big Cat]

Just how it is.

[Dana]

No, that's not.

[Titus]

I'm with you, Dan. It's too green.

[Dana]

It's too green.

[Titus]

Not the.

[Big Cat]

I just go.

[Nick]

I'm.

[Big Cat]

Onions, sport pepper, mustard. So that's my favorite.

[Dana]

If I do a Dana tries, can I take the tomatoes off?

[Nick]

I mean.

[Kate]

I mean, you have to try it. Have you ever had a Chicago dog without.

[Dana]

Put it on.

[Big Cat]

No, you gotta have.

[Dana]

All right, fine.

[Big Cat]

Dan, it is a lot.

[Kate]

This is your own world. You could do whatever the.

[Dana]

No, I want to do it authentically. I'm gonna hate tomatoes.

[Kate]

Do two episodes, one with one with

[Big Cat]

regular, one with one Chicago dog. One Dana dog. Dog.

[Dana]

One day, and a dog is just.

[Big Cat]

It's just you sucking your. Your own dick.

[Kate]

If I open up Twitter and I just saw that.

[Dana]

Oh, my God. I'm pretty sure we've talked about this before, but I've tried that.

[Big Cat]

That's the least surprising.

[Dana]

But when I was. When I was, like, a lot skinnier, I was. I was thin as a rail. I almost got it.

[Titus]

You.

[Mincy]

You.

[Titus]

You tried sucking your own dick, but not a big.

[Dana]

Down Baconator. No baconators.

[Big Cat]

No baconators.

[Big Cat]

Kind of a.

[Whitney]

[Big Cat]

The other day, she's like, BLT at Burger Baron. Anyone want one?

[Whitney]

It was so early. That's how I figured out. Remember when I lost my car? It was the footage of me. I thought I parked over here and came from this way, but the camera footage showed me coming with a big Burger Bear. Oh, yeah.

[Big Cat]

You like blank it out because you had your Burger Bear in.

[Whitney]

Because it was like 9:15 in the morning.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, he got it. He. I mean, rightfully so. Loathe him or loathe him. Oh, damn. 27 year old shock artist and Berwin resident has an unnervingly large following. An anti Semite who has praised Hitler.

To come on a barstool podcast and like got all these people.

[Big Cat]

I could ask to. To do them. I just say no every time because I'm just like they're just gonna turn it bad.

[Whitney]

Have you ever done like an in depth profile for like one for GQ

[Big Cat]

when we started pmt? But like yeah, they'll like people hit me up. I'm just like, nope. Because I know what you're gonna do. You're just gonna be like. And like the. It's gonna be like this guy's good and barstool's bad and controversial statement. Yeah, right.

[Nick]

Taylor Swift.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I mean Dave has taught me that. I mean Dave did it for a long time where he just like kept on getting got over and over. Remember this one will be different. It's a real sports. He's like, I think it's gonna be good. And then, and then I texted him like after. He's like, nope, it's gonna be bad.

[Nick]

Like that's just funny too. I see a lot of people are giving him about that like guy who pressed him about pizza gate or whatever and you could tell Dave was on the off it cuz that's what that guy was kind of trying at. So.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. And it's just like instantly turns that way way. It's like people actually reach out to me asking for Dave. I'm like, no, he doesn't want to do it. Yeah, because it just always get you.

[Titus]

I want a big feature on Shay

[Big Cat]

dude pictures in like the most inconsequent innocuous magazine possible.

[Titus]

Like one would be good like getting pictures of you sticking your nose in a glass and like doing that whole thing.

[Big Cat]

Or like a. Like a South Carolina real estate magazine. Oh yeah, this up and comer.

[Kate]

I'd love to be on somebody's crazy coffee table.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, we got to get it.

[Kate]

We booked a huge guest yesterday on Somali chai. I got all business Pete been trying to get him for weeks.

[Big Cat]

How'd it go? Great. Is Pete. Did Pete zoom in ever?

[Mikey Betts]

I know he was having flight delay.

[Big Cat]

Oh.

[Mikey Betts]

He said don't wait around for me.

[Big Cat]

Damn. I wanted to give the guy his flowers.

[Dana]

He big timed us.

[Big Cat]

He needed the flowers. All right. Should we do the miny gift?

[Mincy]

Yes.

[Nick]

I mean I guess we have.

[Big Cat]

Oh, Jesus Christ.

[Dana]

Oh, my God.

[Mincy]

Dude.

[Dana]

E. No.

[Kate]

Oh, my God.

[Nick]

Oh, that's so.

[Dana]

Is he. Is he stuck?

[Big Cat]

It looks like a cone head. Yeah. Or like a. Like a. A really expensive, like, vase. The top.

[Mikey Betts]

It is not.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, like a bowl. An upside down salad bowl.

[Kate]

What does that look like?

[Mikey Betts]

Ew.

[Whitney]

I want him to sit up a little so it fits perfectly with the curve of the sink.

[Big Cat]

Oh, my God. All right, yell for him, I guess. Danny.

[Kate]

Oh, I don't want to see him pop up.

[Nick]

Pop up's going to be awesome. Dude.

[Big Cat]

I just text him, so. Oh. Oh, wait,

[Titus]

Don't. They don't show the gift.

[Dana]

What do we think it is?

[Titus]

It's for Che.

[Whitney]

It's from Turkey.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, he seemed really excited about it.

[Kate]

He texted me at seven in the morning.

[Big Cat]

I asked if I was going to be in today.

[Whitney]

What? Could it be related?

[Titus]

Wine.

[Big Cat]

It's got to be like I told

[Kate]

White Sox, Dave, bring a bottle of

[Mincy]

wine back for you.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, whatever wine they paid for that he got for free or something.

[Kate]

Oh, it was a free bottle of wine.

[Mikey Betts]

That's what I'm guessing. Okay, bottle. Line somebody up.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yeah, that makes sense.

[Kate]

So he's giving away something.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

Careful.

[Kate]

Yeah, you might don't have to put it on.

[Whitney]

You don't have to put headphones on.

[Mincy]

How we doing?

[Big Cat]

I need six weeks off to do nothing after this trip to recover.

[Mincy]

Oh, that was fair. But more not off. I meant just more not trapped. That was not it. That was not to do nothing because we have pro day coming up. I'm excited.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, we do know.

[Mincy]

When I said more just I Need to take time off the road.

[Big Cat]

Off the road.

[Kate]

What are you doing this weekend?

[Mincy]

Well, my college roommate's getting married in New Orleans tomorrow, so I. I told him. I told him and his fiance.

[Big Cat]

Are you in the wedding?

[Mincy]

No.

[Big Cat]

Okay. I was gonna say, you would be such a dick.

[Mincy]

No. But I told him I've been very transparent. Like, we've been friends. I've been extremely transparent. I was like, I don't know how I'm gonna feel off the hair transplant and jet lag, but I'm gonna try to make it. But I feel good. So I'm going.

[Nick]

All right. Nice.

[Big Cat]

All right. So what's your gift?

[Mincy]

All right.

[Big Cat]

Oh, also, how you doing with some of the hate going your way?

[Mincy]

I'm doing pretty well with it.

[Big Cat]

Good. I think I want to hear that.

[Mincy]

It. I mean, look, I got thick skin. I realized if I was, like, in my mid-20s, like one of our. Some of our younger employees, like, I couldn't have handled it when I was 25.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mincy]

But, you know, I mean, they can hate all they want. Love that, you know, just keep it coming. Keep as long as they keep clicking.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And then anything for Whitney for the heavy burden he has.

[Mincy]

Well, hey, look, the one thing I do have for Whitney on it was. I thought it was a wild move, him bringing his family into it. On his response, because I'm procreation. I mean, I'm all for that.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mincy]

Like. Like him just immediately saying, like, never make fun of me. I have a family. Good for you. I. I want to have a family. That's great.

[Titus]

Great.

[Mincy]

Like, I'm not any anti. Like, I thought that was a wild move to bring that in on the response.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mincy]

Because I'm not.

[Big Cat]

He's got a lot of hate in his heart. Well, he's just.

[Titus]

It's.

[Mincy]

Look, he just has a negative outlook, but he's a successful dude and I respect everything he's done. You know, I just. I just don't live for the negativity, even though I take a lot of it.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mincy]

But it's all good. He just. He. He was coming at me for, like, months. And like, I. A lot of times on dealing with the negativity, I just kind of just like let it roll.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mincy]

Fall off me. Because if I responded to everyone, I mean, I'd be doing it 55 hours in a 24 hour day.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, true.

[Mincy]

But, yeah, they keep on.

[Big Cat]

Keep on hating enough hours.

[Titus]

That math does not add up.

[Mincy]

Yeah. There's just. There's a lot of haters, but Keep on hating, man. I don't love that.

[Titus]

What about. What about Pat? I noticed. I noticed, Mincy, that Pat is. Is coming after you a little bit.

[Mincy]

Yeah, I mean, look, I like Pat. I had a great time kicking it with him and Turkey and.

[Titus]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mincy]

Look, I mean, I feel like it's

[Big Cat]

a good point from the booth, but

[Mincy]

no, I feel like. Okay, it's like a fine line where if I took this stuff, like, super seriously, I'd be depressed. Like, depressed and have to be in therapy all the time. Like, I know I'm the butt of the joke a lot, but whatever. I mean.

[Big Cat]

Right.

[Mincy]

Keep them coming.

[Titus]

But as far as you guys. As far as, you know, you guys are cool. Like, you.

[Mincy]

Oh, I don't take any of the content. I think.

[Big Cat]

Another good point from the booth. Yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Mincy]

I think we're. I mean, I think we're cool.

[Nick]

Cool.

[Mincy]

You know, people could hate on me on, like. I mean, like, I never can figure out the. It's a thin line here between, like, what's content and what's real because it's all real and organic. That's what makes Bar still great, is none of it staged. It's just all organic. But, like, I mean, I think I have good relationships with all these people hate on me, but maybe I'm wrong. Like, yeah, maybe they hate me, but I'm still here. I mean, I'm here after over five years, so it can't be going that bad.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Mincy]

Upward and onward.

[Mikey Betts]

No.

[Kate]

No looking back.

[Mincy]

Yeah, I can't put the headphones thing over my head, cuz.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, right, right.

[Mincy]

But, yeah, I got a present for Sha.

[Dana]

Nice.

[Titus]

How do you feel? How. How's your scalp feel? Right?

[Mincy]

Dude, I feel way better than I ever thought I would. I, like, the pain was like 4 or 5 on a 1 to 10 scale. Monday, the part where they're shooting, they're shooting the needles in your right and left temple is brutal because that's so sensitive.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mincy]

And that had me squirming a little bit, but the rest of it was manageable, obviously. The. The bleeding and leaking was. I. I scared Mooc.

[Kate]

Do you have full mobility of, like, your head? Can you look left and right? Okay.

[Big Cat]

Oh, there it is. There he is.

[Mincy]

But still, this. But I can. I don't know. I think it's going pretty well. Like I said, I thought it would be worse. I mean, it's kind of itching a little bit, but.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Was it. Was there anyone you bonded with on this trip that surprised you?

[Mincy]

I mean, I felt like, Jack McCarthy and me had a pretty good time.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Mincy]

Talking about life, you know, Know.

[Big Cat]

Cool.

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

That's a conversation I would want to hear.

[Kate]

I would kill myself.

[Big Cat]

Talk about life. I mean, it felt like bullet in the mouth.

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Dead. A dead man.

[Mincy]

Yeah. Well, I think, you know, but I thought overall, great trip, though. I mean, look, getting asked to do that, like, I didn't need the hair transplant, but I think in five to 10 years, I'm going to be real happy.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, you're getting ahead of it.

[Mincy]

Good stuff. Yeah. Getting ahead of it. I had a little ball spot on my crown, but. But, man, we just did some stuff you can't even imagine. Like, when would I ever go to Turkey, Istanbul and Cappadocia and.

[Big Cat]

Well, I mean, if. If Panic ever played there.

[Mincy]

Yeah, that's true.

[Titus]

But. Poker tournament there.

[Mincy]

Yeah, but. But just like,

[Big Cat]

they had Water slide, Lazy River.

[Mincy]

That's a good point. I'll probably go to the Indian.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, but. All right. What's your gift for chess? Okay.

[Whitney]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

Here we go. And it is. Oh.

[Mincy]

To a wine.

[Big Cat]

Bottle of wine.

[Kate]

Very nice.

[Mincy]

We went to a place that makes wine. Oh, I brought him.

[Big Cat]

You bought that?

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Wow.

[Kate]

Very nice of you.

[Mincy]

That is not expensive to the company. I paid for it.

[Big Cat]

Okay, nice.

[Mincy]

But, yeah, it's a bottle of wine, white, made in Cappadocia. So I brought. I brought him. Be good for a sh.

[Big Cat]

Love that.

[Titus]

Thank you very much.

[Big Cat]

Thank you.

[Mincy]

Yeah, I don't know anything.

[Titus]

What do you.

[Whitney]

It's a pretty bottle, Jay.

[Titus]

I don't want to step on. On your toes too much, but, like. Miny, what do you think about a collab with Somali J. With. With that bottle?

[Mincy]

I'll let Shay run the drinking wine.

[Big Cat]

What if you sip it, but then you spit it out?

[Mincy]

Ah, I. I mean, I. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Titus]

I'm sorry.

[Kate]

What about a seltzer? You do a seltzer next to him?

[Titus]

Yeah, I'm sorry.

[Mincy]

Made in Cappadocia or.

[Big Cat]

Or just sniff.

[Kate]

Would you be fine sniffing it?

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Okay, so then you can have them on to sniff it.

[Whitney]

Sure.

[Mincy]

Yeah, yeah, I'd like to do that.

[Big Cat]

Or can I have the bag just covered up?

[Titus]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

All right. Thank you, Mincy.

[Kate]

Very nice of you, man.

[Big Cat]

Appreciate it.

[Nick]

That was nice.

[Big Cat]

That was very nice. Love you too, Miny. It was very nice of him.

[Dana]

What was that last one?

[Kate]

I'm excited to see your hair.

[Big Cat]

Thanks.

[Dana]

What was that last one?

[Big Cat]

Oh, listen, I just. I'm your. I think I am your biggest supporter.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I saw, like, I'M I've been dragged in somehow.

[Kate]

He keeps saying somehow.

[Dana]

Was that.

[Big Cat]

It's like being like. Like I've been drowned. I've been dragged to the depths of the ocean, but it's me.

[Dana]

What did he say that was gonna be a funny.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I. I mean, listen, I know people don't. He's not everyone's cup of tea. But the fact that, like, he is getting so much hate and he just doesn't.

[Whitney]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And that's perfect. That's why. That's. That's way. That's where he wins.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Nick]

He genuinely believes if you. If you say his name, that's he. That's it.

[Big Cat]

But that's the thing. Like, I. I've said this before. There are countless examples of people at this company who. And rightfully so, like, you get hate and you kind of turtle a little and you go into a shell. It's like. That makes sense. Getting hated on sucks. But the guys who can just like, it just wipes off it makes them stronger. Means that you can just keep going.

[Kate]

But he has constant vacations to unwind from it.

[Nick]

True. True.

[Titus]

I. I think we're just scratching the surface with his whole, like, not looking.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

I don't.

[Titus]

I wanna. I don't want to. You know, you were on top at

[Big Cat]

the same time you were touching him.

[Titus]

I don't want to explore it more. But at the same time, I think if we did, we would find.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Titus]

We could run some. Some experiments here and figure out what the hell's going on there.

[Big Cat]

He's like. He's like. Remember the Mike Pence? Like, couldn't be alone with a woman. Woman. He's like an extreme version of that. Like, I can never look at someone who I deem not my boss. I can't go look at that person.

[Mincy]

We have to incorporate that into Mincy Pro day somehow.

[Big Cat]

Yes. Yeah. Right.

[Mincy]

Where.

[Kate]

Where the sound is coming from.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yes.

[Titus]

Or just pick someone in the room and who. Yeah. It's like a. It's like this secret slime action on. Figure it out. That's the only thing that came to mind. Mine. Danny is the secret look at him person. And we time. How long until Mince makes eye contact with you?

[Kate]

What if Danny has a post it note on his forehead? And we'll have Ethan come in until Ethan recognizes. Hey, you have a post it note on your forehead. And then miny.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that's good.

[Titus]

Yeah. Just do something like that.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where we just time it.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

It'll be forever or or even just like a. We make a T shirt that says when you, when you see this T shirt, say something.

[Kate]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Or.

[Kate]

Or it's almost like the baby thing. But to put two people like with

[Mincy]

equal stature at this company.

[Nick]

Oh my God.

[Big Cat]

Oh my God. He'll just look at me, right? You gotta take me out of it.

[Kate]

Like, Dave would be your only matchup then.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, like, oh, that would actually be good if we. I called Dave. I was like, hey, we need you for mincing. We're only gonna need you for like four seconds.

[Kate]

Yeah. We just need to see if Mince looks at.

[Big Cat]

She's gonna put you and me on the other each side of Mince to see which way he looks like.

[Kate]

Winner advances.

[Titus]

Guys being on opposite sides being like m. I need you right now. And he's stuck in the middle.

[Big Cat]

Two phones loads.

[Nick]

Which one is he?

[Whitney]

I like when a magnet floats.

[Big Cat]

Cuz it's. We're going to do our workout in a minute.

[Dana]

I know. I'm low. I'm lowkey. Nervous.

[Whitney]

Are you guys doing it live?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, we do it live.

[Mincy]

Whoa.

[Nick]

Good old Ben.

[Big Cat]

Oh man.

[Kate]

I guess we could keep talking.

[Whitney]

So deviled eggs.

[Nick]

Yeah, a lot of places serve those now.

[Whitney]

I feel a lot of restaurants will like charge, but I feel like they're never as good as like a good communion party deviled egg, you know, they

[Kate]

are at a lot of communion parties.

[Mincy]

Those can't travel, right.

[Nick]

I've never had them. I kind of gross me out.

[Whitney]

I don't want to drink.

[Kate]

I've never had them on eggs.

[Whitney]

That's.

[Kate]

Wait, I did with Dana. I tried with you.

[Dana]

That was a pickled egg.

[Big Cat]

Ah.

[Whitney]

Oh.

[Dana]

Deviled eggs are better than pickled eggs.

[Nick]

Are they that?

[Dana]

Yeah, I mean, I think Dana described

[Kate]

his pickled eggs as two distinct flavors. Can anybody guess what the flavors were?

[Dana]

What were they?

[Kate]

How do you remember there were two flavors that caught your pallet?

[Dana]

I like a lot of pickled stuff. Anything in vinegar I like. Like anything that has that flavor.

[Kate]

Yeah, but not the you I didn't hate. It was a maybe from you dog.

[Dana]

It was a maybe from me dog. But like, like salt and vinegar chips.

[Titus]

Great.

[Dana]

Yeah. You put it on your fries. You dump some malt vinegar on there.

[Kate]

I think it doses though.

[Dana]

Yeah, I suppose.

[Kate]

What is next on the agenda?

[Dana]

The hot dog today.

[Kate]

What's the next non food thing?

[Dana]

I don't really have anything on my list. I was thinking it could just be anything.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Like have you tried a handstand?

[Kate]

I was just going to say handstand I was. Oh, my God.

[Mincy]

I was just going to say, have

[Kate]

you ever tried a handstand?

[Dana]

Tries a handstand. But I've done that before, so it

[Kate]

wouldn't count, but something along the lines of a. Yeah, like a cartwheel.

[Dana]

Like a backflip.

[Titus]

Have you tried to ride a unicycle?

[Dana]

No.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Nick]

Have you tried to watch a silent movie?

[Titus]

Movie?

[Dana]

Nope.

[Kate]

Oh, I would love that.

[Nick]

Yeah. I imagine.

[Dana]

But that. How do I make a video out of that?

[Kate]

Sit through an hour, maybe the best parts.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Or yeah, just do a silent movie. Watch along. An hour video.

[Nick]

I'd be perfect.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

Man.

[Kate]

You have a personality where you can do anything. And I would be intrigued to watch.

[Dana]

Thank you.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Dana]

I appreciate that.

[Kate]

You have a lust for life.

[Dana]

I've been sucking down chicken biscuits. Oh, yeah?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Kate]

I bought him his first box of chicken biscuits in Napa. You know, that's where you have those.

[Dana]

I can't stop eating them. Like, we're going right now.

[Kate]

Chicken and bisc. Chicken and a biscuit. The blue.

[Dana]

Am I going to get sweaty?

[Kate]

It's crackers that taste like chicken.

[Whitney]

Never had that.

[Kate]

Really? You've been poor.

[Whitney]

I know. I love.

[Dana]

You love them, Kate.

[Whitney]

I know. I'm sure I would. Chicken.

[Dana]

It's like ramen noodles on top of crackers.

[Whitney]

Oh, I'll give that a try.

[Nick]

What's your preferred question? Cracker.

[Whitney]

I'm a Ritz gal, I guess, but fancy Ritz with. With whiz.

[Kate]

I would. How'd you peg for a. I used to make.

[Whitney]

We would have Triscuit pizza for dinner when I was a kid.

[Kate]

Was that sauce and cheese on Triscuit?

[Whitney]

Yes. And then you put it in the microwave?

[Kate]

My mom would make that.

[Whitney]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Wait, what is it?

[Whitney]

New York.

[Big Cat]

Oh.

[Whitney]

Little sauce, a little mozzarella. I ate it as a kid in the microwave.

[Kate]

Hate it as a.

[Whitney]

It makes it immediately stale. Yep.

[Titus]

You like club crackers, Eddie?

[Nick]

Clubs are solid.

[Kate]

Are those the thinner Saltine?

[Nick]

Yes.

[Kate]

Never liked them.

[Whitney]

You know what sucks? Those stone crackers. You ever had, like, the stone crackers that almost have, like,

[Kate]

the premier cracker is oyster. When you have, like, the. The ranch on it.

[Nick]

Oh. But not too puffy. Oyster, like.

[Kate]

No, no. It has to be kind of.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

It don't soak.

[Kate]

You know, I don't like the puffy oysters.

[Nick]

Why are you a club guy, Titus?

[Titus]

I like club. All right. Yeah. I'm probably rich.

[Kate]

I associate those with old people.

[Titus]

Slice of cheese on it.

[Kate]

Saltine.

[Mincy]

Should be the old people 1.

[Kate]

Club is a nice and buttered up.

[Nick]

I like a good wheat thin too.

[Dana]

Really?

[Nick]

Yes.

[Whitney]

I love a guy. I'll crush some Wheat thins with some cheese.

[Nick]

It's so good.

[Kate]

You guys just like cheese with an edible plate?

[Nick]

I'll do wheat thins, raw dog with

[Whitney]

a piece of cheese pickle on top, dry.

[Nick]

Wow.

[Whitney]

Try three of those with a deli picker.

[Kate]

Try three.

[Nick]

Trust me, they're pretty good.

[Whitney]

Anybody else joining? Come on, Danny.

[Mincy]

Did you say me?

[Big Cat]

I mean, how's this working?

[Nick]

Are we just handing it off or.

[Whitney]

I think. I don't know. Nobody else. None of you guys are going to join them?

[Nick]

Keeping going?

[Whitney]

I'm certainly not.

[Big Cat]

But why?

[Whitney]

Danny's thinking about it. I wore the wrong. I'm in jeans. I can't.

[Nick]

Are you. Would you say you're extra introvert?

[Whitney]

I've been wondering about this.

[Kate]

I think you are.

[Whitney]

I. I get very anxious about social events and then I'll drink too much because I get anxious. And then I'm like, am I annoying? So maybe I'm introverted.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Whitney]

I don't know. I love going places by myself. Like I love being by myself.

[Kate]

But even being out by yourself. Where does that lie?

[Nick]

Exactly.

[Whitney]

I love talking to people, so I guess not.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Whitney]

Strangers though. I have like an easier time talking to strangers than like people I know. Sometimes, I don't know, I kind of

[Nick]

feel that I hate leaving conversations.

[Whitney]

Yeah. It's hard.

[Kate]

I'm not good at it. I think I go over and the last word.

[Whitney]

You strike me as an extrovert.

[Nick]

I don't know though, because I'm with you. Like when big, like big things. I'm like, I. I don't, I don't want.

[Titus]

It's not good. Yeah.

[Whitney]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Do you think motherhood can.

[Kate]

Could change you from introvert to extrovert?

[Whitney]

A good dinner like.

[Kate]

No.

[Titus]

Motherhood.

[Kate]

Mother.

[Dana]

Motherhood.

[Whitney]

Oh, mother.

[Kate]

Now you're dying to go out?

[Whitney]

Kind of. Yeah.

[Kate]

Ed, I've been to your place and you've built it to where you'd never have to leave.

[Nick]

Yeah, for sure. But I, I'm very. I very much enjoy a small group.

[Kate]

But.

[Whitney]

Yes.

[Kate]

You pride yourself on your party as well.

[Nick]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like. I like. I like enjoying myself. I like having fun.

[Kate]

I don't like throwing parties.

[Nick]

No.

[Kate]

I. No, I get weird when people are in the party.

[Nick]

You don't have that much pressure to like talk to anyone. Cuz everyone's like, ah, he's. He's doing.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

But you want your party to be good.

[Nick]

Yeah, for sure.

[Whitney]

My goal this year is to have more people casually in my house all the time. Cuz like my favorite houses growing up were houses. Like at my grandmom's house. People just came and went all the time. So I've been inviting my neighbors over a lot more. Even if my house isn't like perfectly clean or whatever, it's like trying to get comfortable with people seeing my house when it's not immaculate. And so I can just be like a gathering place kind of thing.

[Nick]

Like on the block.

[Whitney]

He's. He's in the dad's group chat. So all the moms are in a group chat. All the dads are in a group chat.

[Kate]

Jacob's going to need to jump higher if he wants screen time. She's looking like Mincy in the balcony.

[Whitney]

Sorry.

[Nick]

What are you going to say, Titus?

[Titus]

I was like the, the pop in. Are you, are you open to that?

[Whitney]

I am now.

[Titus]

I was, I was in the neighborhood. I thought I'd just stop by.

[Whitney]

Yes.

[Mincy]

Come on in Trinidad.

[Whitney]

Starting to get in on that.

[Titus]

Yeah, yeah, that was.

[Whitney]

We'll just invite our neighbors over on a Friday evening. Now we're just like on over. House is a mess, but whatever.

[Kate]

And I have a shared backyard. And so over the summer I'll be having wine in the backyard and say, you know, they come back home, have a glass. That's nice.

[Whitney]

That's nice.

[Titus]

I know it's easy to like have rose colored glasses about the past, but I do think that's something that has changed drastically. That used to happen, I swear, every day. Yeah. Like my, my parents friends would just be. We were driving by the house, we're going to pop in.

[Whitney]

Yeah.

[Kate]

And it was like seven accepted.

[Titus]

And I kind of wish that was more accepted.

[Nick]

Do you though? Because. Well, it is kind of funny because I think Sebastian has a bit on that. Yeah. Because there's always the opposite.

[Mikey Betts]

Everyone freezes, shut it down.

[Big Cat]

Like nobody. When you hear a doorbell.

[Kate]

Now your army crawling to the door.

[Nick]

Everyone shut up.

[Big Cat]

There we go, boys.

[Whitney]

There is a fine line. Because if you get like me and all my neighbors have a pretty good understanding. I, I think. But I remember growing up like one of our neighbors was always coming over to hang out and it's like sometimes you just want to be with your family. Sometimes you just.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kate]

One of my most vivid memories of childhood. Did you guys have the Schwan's man?

[Titus]

Oh yeah.

[Whitney]

Oh yeah.

[Kate]

So he would all. He would come so often and I remember having to like lay on the ground and pretending we weren't home. It was a blast as a kid, but he was really, really, really. He might have been trying to get with my mom.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Mikey Betts]

It was a lot.

[Nick]

What is that?

[Kate]

He was like the frozen food man. I would get tiger popsicles, and you'd

[Titus]

have a truck that was. That had. Yeah. Frozen food in it. It was like, bring it in order form.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah, really.

[Titus]

And then it had, like, a million doors on the side. That was awesome to watch. The Schwan man working the doors. And he.

[Mincy]

Pop.

[Kate]

Knew exactly where everything was.

[Titus]

Popped this one open slam that.

[Nick]

You guys all called him the Schwan's man.

[Whitney]

Schwan.

[Kate]

Schwan's man.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Mincy]

We didn't have that.

[Nick]

No.

[Titus]

Oh, it was. I never even heard of it was

[Kate]

the amount of doors.

[Titus]

So many doors on that truck.

[Kate]

He was an expert.

[Titus]

Oh, and you could get everything.

[Kate]

Yeah, but it was never, like, the best food.

[Titus]

No, but you could get everything.

[Kate]

You could get everything.

[Titus]

Good Chicken tenders.

[Nick]

And it was all frozen, though.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Nick]

So not a roach coach. Have you ever seen a roach coach?

[Kate]

It's a roach coach.

[Nick]

It's like the. Those people who have the. The. The trucks that. The back opens up and there's a bunch of food and that you can buy. No, like, of a lot. Lunch break.

[Whitney]

No, that's in the military. Like the rifle range. Like, here comes the roach coach. And you could get anything.

[Kate]

Yeah, and it was called that because, like, it was dirty.

[Whitney]

I don't know. I don't know why we called it that.

[Mikey Betts]

I don't know why.

[Nick]

Yeah, but there's like. They'll go to, like, McDonald's and get, like, 50 breakfast sandwiches.

[Whitney]

They. Breakfast sandwiches was huge. From the R coach. Yeah.

[Nick]

They'll get, like, 50 hot dogs. And they just have a plethora of options. Like 50 DE.

[Kate]

They're not their own brand. They go and buy them.

[Big Cat]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Nick]

Yeah. Like, if you. Tj. If you Google it, you'll see. See it. It's. It's kind of sweet.

[Kate]

We could hear people go crazy.

[Nick]

I know I would.

[Big Cat]

Like.

[Nick]

That would be a good Tuesday and maybe supporting people. Tuesday lunch. Just a roast. Coach, look.

[Kate]

You're looking very synchronized.

[Big Cat]

I can't wait.

[Whitney]

I feel sad that more people didn't join them. I thought. I thought this was going to start. Like, people would hear them and everyone would come running down.

[Nick]

How many people are still here?

[Whitney]

Good question. See, again, I'm in jeans. None of these guys. None of you in the cave. Go bolster and send support.

[Dana]

Three, two, one.

[Big Cat]

Arm Circles forward.

[Whitney]

Hell yeah. The novelty that Deutsch is here hasn't worn off on me yet. I, like, went upstairs for something that other day, and I was like, deutsch.

[Nick]

Wow.

[Kate]

I think he's still working on his login because he's like, I got a bunch of blogs in my notes app. So I think once he gets his login, gonna be 50 in a row. About that has long passed.

[Nick]

One login.

[Whitney]

Oh, we got Spider. We got somebody new in the mix.

[Kate]

There we go. Spidey.

[Titus]

That blog on the halftime show, the super bowl, when he posts it in June, is gonna be.

[Kate]

So what is this?

[Whitney]

Oh, somebody else coming. We got one, Rick. Here we go.

[Kate]

They all want to get there for the clap.

[Nick]

Is that how it ends?

[Kate]

I don't know, but the clap is definitely the. That's like the Rockettes kicking their legs. That's what we're here for.

[Big Cat]

Done it four days in a row, dude.

[Dana]

Sweeping my dick and balls all night.

[Big Cat]

Three, two, backwards. Didn't you go curling?

[Whitney]

Oh, wow.

[Dana]

What'd you say?

[Mikey Betts]

And then you went curly.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Deutsche's got some long shorts on.

[Whitney]

Yes.

[Kate]

Some artifacts.

[Whitney]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Deviled eggs.

[Big Cat]

He still hasn't hit him.

[Nick]

Deutsch.

[Kate]

What about. What is that what you call long shorts now?

[Nick]

Just dropping a deviled eggs.

[Whitney]

I might make some this week. You know what?

[Nick]

You should.

[Whitney]

Deviled eggs.

[Kate]

Weren't you supposed to make us something?

[Whitney]

You guys were supposed to come over for dinner. Because that was I've been working on.

[Kate]

We have to show up.

[Titus]

Up.

[Whitney]

Why do you.

[Kate]

Can't just wait.

[Whitney]

Yeah.

[Kate]

You just can't flip that on us.

[Whitney]

The tough part is figuring out what to do with the kids. Cuz I feel like. Although I'm sure everyone. Everyone's very nice to me because we're here. I feel like you don't want to come over to my house and like, you know when a dog's jumping on you and the owner's like, this is fine.

[Titus]

Your kids are jumping on us, biting us. Kids are.

[Whitney]

And I'm sure you guys would be

[Nick]

very polite, but a Cash is a sweet boy.

[Whitney]

He's a sweet. It's a small space, though. And they're high in energy, boys. And so I don't know if that would be fun for everyone. What I'd really like to do is a driveway party.

[Kate]

Those are the best.

[Whitney]

We have a really good giant shared driveway. It's massive. It's like a basketball court size.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Whitney]

And we get the beach chairs out. Semicircle coolers out.

[Kate]

The best.

[Whitney]

Order a Pizza.

[Titus]

When. When you take your kids to the park, do you find that girls are less energetic than boys or less rowdy than boys? Do you find that stereotype to be true through.

[Whitney]

Because I'm the most feral kid at our playground's a little girl.

[Titus]

Really?

[Mikey Betts]

She's awesome.

[Whitney]

She was shoes off the other day when I was like 35 out. She's like always taking her shoes. She's the best. She's really fun. She's like doing a one wheel wheelie. She's like three across the bridge on the. But for the most part, like the gals do, I found we have like a big squad and the gals kind of keep the boys in line.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Whitney]

Like the girls would be like, we're gonna do this. And the boys were like all listen and follow them.

[Titus]

Interesting.

[Whitney]

I don't know.

[Nick]

What do you think is the most elite piece of playground equipment?

[Whitney]

Toilet slide.

[Kate]

Obviously it's never fun.

[Whitney]

What the.

[Mincy]

To you don't.

[Kate]

You're not getting speed.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Whitney]

When you're a kid, a big enough one climbing up one.

[Nick]

The bridge is fun, right?

[Kate]

I like tic tac toe. The big tic tac toe.

[Titus]

And you can only do that at the playground.

[Dana]

Come on, bring me to the playground

[Kate]

so I can do the big tic tac.

[Whitney]

I will say any bridge that wobbles.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. The bouncing is exciting.

[Nick]

Just the useless tunnel.

[Kate]

I loved the tunnel, like underneath of it. Like those wooden playgrounds.

[Nick]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The monkey. I mean, I could never do them.

[Whitney]

There's this playground I take my kids to in the suburbs that has a Sears Tower that they can climb with all sorts of slides coming out of it from. Like it's intense. Like your kid's going to get hurt and it's really fun.

[Nick]

Like the cops. L. In Boston.

[Whitney]

Yes. Uhhuh.

[Nick]

Have you done that yet or. No.

[Kate]

Done what?

[Nick]

The cops. The one that. The cop.

[Kate]

The one in Boston.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah. No, I haven't.

[Nick]

Would you. Would you?

[Kate]

I think I would, yeah.

[Big Cat]

I. It's.

[Kate]

People have struggled to recreate what he

[Nick]

did, but I thought someone recently also got hurt on it.

[Kate]

Oh, really?

[Whitney]

Yes. I've seen a few.

[Nick]

Like a reporter or something.

[Big Cat]

They recreated it, but it seems like

[Kate]

it's hard to do what he did.

[Big Cat]

Did.

[Nick]

Well, you got like. Like you had to wear like a pair of dickies and something.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Titus]

It is just the normal slide. It just was like how he went down at that one side.

[Whitney]

This will always be funny to me.

[Kate]

It's the best video of all time.

[Big Cat]

No, no, no.

[Kate]

Oh my God, it's the best video of all time.

[Whitney]

There they go. They're in.

[Kate]

It is.

[Whitney]

Well, I've heard, because tourists go to this slide now, and they'll go to the bars and then be like, we got to go to the. And the teens have been putting paint down the slide.

[Kate]

No, you come out, people will, like,

[Whitney]

go down the slide at night and come out, and they're, like, purple.

[Kate]

Oh, why was a cop in the

[Mincy]

slide to begin with?

[Whitney]

Because I think people had called in saying, this slide is a problem. And so they went to check it out. Or maybe I'm making. I'm making that up.

[Kate]

But that's even ending up on your belly.

[Big Cat]

Like, that would be hard. Hard. Let alone down at such a rapid.

[Whitney]

All I can think is that he tried to slow himself down.

[Kate]

Like, gun goes off in there.

[Nick]

It has its own Wikipedia.

[Whitney]

Doesn't Pittsburgh also have a really tough one? I thought, I feel like there's a couple cop slides out there.

[Kate]

So they. The Mac Miller Blue Slide Park. But it's like a concrete slide.

[Whitney]

Oh, no, that's not what I'm thinking. The one that always makes me sad as a sports reporter. Who went down. The one at the baseball stadium? Stadium. He broke his ribs.

[Mincy]

Oh, yeah.

[Whitney]

That makes me sad.

[Kate]

Those are the Brewers.

[Big Cat]

The Brewers.

[Nick]

They don't do it on it.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

You said it was the worst ballpark in America.

[Mikey Betts]

They have a slide that. Ballpark, Eddie.

[Nick]

I mean, it's old now.

[Kate]

Correct answer of older playground is Fireman's Bowl.

[Whitney]

Is what?

[Kate]

Fireman's Pole's better than anything.

[Whitney]

Oh, yeah.

[Titus]

Fireman's Pole's really good.

[Nick]

Have you been to the Blue Slide Park?

[Mikey Betts]

No.

[Kate]

No, I haven't.

[Nick]

Conrad's dream.

[Titus]

I.

[Big Cat]

Yes. Now Addie likes to start rumors that

[Mincy]

I'm, like, a fan of the Uzi version.

[Kate]

Danny unironically said booyah two days ago.

[Titus]

Oh, boy.

[Big Cat]

Not true.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Mincy]

Not true.

[Kate]

I said, wait a minute. What did you just say? He said, oh, yeah. And I was like, no, you didn't.

[Nick]

Kind of love that lies.

[Big Cat]

Unless you like it. Then it was true.

[Whitney]

Eddie, when do you start planning for your big party?

[Nick]

Honestly, now that we're talking about this opener, I kind of got to get on that.

[Whitney]

Yeah.

[Nick]

The problem is, is I don't know the date until, like, the block comes up with it.

[Whitney]

Okay.

[Nick]

That makes it hard with the Billy Joel guide.

[Whitney]

Yep.

[Kate]

You need the soul binder. That his name? Spellbinder. Spellbinder.

[Nick]

Yeah. Do you?

[Kate]

You also need the tumbler still.

[Nick]

I know, but I think the Tumblers would be good for you guys.

[Mincy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Nick]

Like that there. Perfect for the court.

[Mincy]

What we.

[Kate]

What do you. Dana looks good.

[Whitney]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Well, how far along are we?

[Big Cat]

We got three, four more.

[Mikey Betts]

Two.

[Whitney]

You guys are doing great.

[Big Cat]

Valley squats, it's coming up.

[Whitney]

I got a shout out the cream team. The toppings bar has been immaculate lately, and the texture of the ice cream spin.

[Kate]

Jacob being on the cream team has to be like the guys that sign up to clean up Chernobyl. Like, he knows it's going to do damage on him, but he's decided he's stuck with it.

[Whitney]

He's been doing crumbled biscoff cookies recently.

[Big Cat]

Wow.

[Whitney]

Incredible.

[Nick]

I filmed a video with them yesterday, and I heard, yeah, they got some good stuff coming.

[Titus]

Here we go. It's coming up. It's coming up right here. This is what we're here for.

[Big Cat]

This is why they tune in. This is right foot back first.

[Whitney]

Oh, Dana's struggling.

[Big Cat]

Everyone's got to get in sync. Make sure you hit 15. Your wrist at the top. Wrist at the top.

[Dana]

Five, four.

[Whitney]

Good job, Spider.

[Big Cat]

Three, two. All right, boys. Right back first. Ready? Oh,

[Kate]

Come on, Spider.

[Big Cat]

Spider, get with us. Spider. Adapt, Spider.

[Kate]

Spider's ruining it.

[Titus]

Spider is ruining it.

[Kate]

All I can look at is Spider

[Big Cat]

wristed top.

[Mincy]

Spider.

[Titus]

Let's get those.

[Kate]

Come on, Spider.

[Mincy]

Spider.

[Big Cat]

Spider. Don't this up.

[Mincy]

How can he not do it?

[Big Cat]

Oh, how can he not do it

[Mincy]

down?

[Dana]

I got no r. You speeding it up?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, Give it another try, Spider. You got it.

[Dana]

They're good.

[Kate]

Oh, they're losing it.

[Dana]

Why couldn't he do it too hard?

[Big Cat]

I think he's got two left. Three, two, one, max. All right, Backward.

[Mikey Betts]

Wait.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I can't do them.

[Dana]

I have really bad knees.

[Kate]

Is Dana out? Oh, this one's brutal.

[Big Cat]

This is actually a hard one.

[Dana]

See?

[Kate]

I mean, this one being at the end, too. It's just not fair.

[Whitney]

I went to post them on my Instagram story. Yeah, with a funny little song in the background. And then it goes right back to your like for you, showing you feed.

[Mikey Betts]

Yeah.

[Whitney]

And it's this random account. It's like when Lady Gaga hired a vomit art artist to puke on her mid performance during south by southwest 2014. It's just a lady. A bulimic woman, bright green all over Lady Gaga as she's singing. I think it's real.

[Big Cat]

Anyway, how many of them are getting

[Kate]

ice cream right after this?

[Whitney]

I know I am.

[Nick]

How many?

[Big Cat]

As many as you can get.

[Whitney]

Oh, I've been doing the Biscoff Cookie crumble with crumbled butterfinger and chocolate. It's been fabulous.

[Titus]

Do knee push ups, Dana.

[Dana]

Never been able to do them.

[Big Cat]

What's the career trajectory for a vomit artist? That's.

[Kate]

That's it.

[Mikey Betts]

To work with Lady Gaga.

[Whitney]

I would imagine it's a pretty big fetish thing.

[Big Cat]

Oh.

[Whitney]

That people might be into.

[Big Cat]

Really?

[Whitney]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Like when having sex, you get puked on.

[Whitney]

Like a dude get wants to get dominated and puked on or something. I'm just making this up.

[Big Cat]

But hypothetically.

[Whitney]

Hypothetically speaking. I would imagine there's a weird market out there for it.

[Kate]

So is that person having sex with the person they're throwing up on or is that person coming in?

[Titus]

It's a great question.

[Whitney]

Genuinely great question. Genuinely don't know.

[Titus]

Great question.

[Whitney]

Don't know. Maybe both. Maybe some artist.

[Titus]

Only what if you find a woman who's a great puker, but she's just like ugly to look at. Totally. Totally unfuckable. But man, her.

[Kate]

Her puke is really coming out.

[Dana]

I don't know.

[Kate]

That's.

[Big Cat]

That's a lot.

[Nick]

Old fetish.

[Titus]

I love how she pukes on me, but she's hot.

[Kate]

But she barely even has indigestion on me. Oh, the boys did it.

[Whitney]

Good for them. And they are sweating. Good job, guys.

[Kate]

Great work, boys.

[Whitney]

I like that he's sticking with it.

[Dana]

Kat, are you caught up?

[Kate]

Caught up on all the Love is Blind tea?

[Whitney]

No, I need to. I'm behind once again, but it seems like the worst guys ever.

[Mikey Betts]

Ever.

[Kate]

Yeah. Yeah. I'll save it. Love is Blind. Ohio. Yep.

[Whitney]

For real.

[Dana]

For real.

[Kate]

So imagine they're shocked when somebody from Ohio isn't hot.

[Mincy]

Oh.

[Dana]

What?

[Big Cat]

So bad.

[Mikey Betts]

Oh, my God.

[Nick]

That's bad.

[Big Cat]

Spider us.

[Titus]

So that was bad.

[Kate]

Dana, you're a bench brother.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I lied to him. I said you're not gonna sweat.

[Mincy]

Wow.

[Big Cat]

Because I knew he wouldn't do it.

[Kate]

Drench. Dana.

[Titus]

That was your first time. Dana Gross.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

What are you guys saying?

[Titus]

Think.

[Kate]

I think you guys are getting really good and it's inspiring.

[Big Cat]

Is there any chance Brandon did it today? No.

[Whitney]

No.

[Kate]

I think you guys should put out a VHS.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Just every day for 100 days.

[Kate]

100 days collection.

[Big Cat]

There's 100 chapters.

[Dana]

I feel better.

[Big Cat]

Day 56, same thing.

[Dana]

I already feel better.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

The body moving.

[Kate]

You going to go get ice cream?

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Definitely. 100%.

[Kate]

Got to cool down somehow. Right? The insides spider, though.

[Big Cat]

That was so disappointing. By spider.

[Kate]

The money.

[Big Cat]

I thought we were going to have six guys all in line. He just was what's wrong with his legs?

[Kate]

The money shop never got.

[Titus]

Never clicked for him. I thought he was sabotaging, honestly.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, he did.

[Kate]

You've said, like, this is open to anybody. Is he still allowed back?

[Big Cat]

No.

[Kate]

Oh, my God.

[Big Cat]

Not until he gets his rhythm down.

[Mincy]

We're gonna see him practicing late night by himself here.

[Kate]

He's not gonna like that.

[Big Cat]

Lucas, I gave you a compliment before you joined.

[Mikey Betts]

He doesn't need to know.

[Big Cat]

I don't believe that I actually did.

[Mikey Betts]

Thank you.

[Big Cat]

I said, you and Tate do a really good job. And the haters, which I. There's such a small amount of haters.

[Mikey Betts]

No, it's the. The really times the minority.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. That was a great stream last night.

[Dana]

Sometimes you have to change it because,

[Big Cat]

like, correct to watch you.

[Dana]

Like, I.

[Mikey Betts]

Some people like the torture of, like, seeing you struggle. But, like, it also is way cooler

[Dana]

if, like, honestly, in a fucked up

[Mikey Betts]

way, it's more fun when you're getting close and you're missing it.

[Big Cat]

Right, right. That was the. Far away, as I said, is if we change a rule, it's to make it better for the viewer.

[Whitney]

Yeah.

[Dana]

We're not going for world records.

[Big Cat]

It's not like we're going to some stat book.

[Mikey Betts]

Like, it doesn't matter if we change rules. It's for entertainment.

[Big Cat]

I would say the only. The only thing I would say to you and Tate is we might want to start testing some of these.

[Dana]

I know that one's a tough one.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

That one we could have, like. Because if you had given me 20 minutes on there, I'd have been like, yeah, let's do four.

[Mikey Betts]

That's fair.

[Titus]

Or if you just like, ask the Curler Curling Club.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Like, what's a reasonable number?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I know, but we also. No one ever just, like, does stuff like this.

[Dana]

Like, they're like, yeah, of course it's tough.

[Big Cat]

But also, you guys went at it

[Mikey Betts]

for four hours, then you got it.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

You know, it's like, if you do

[Big Cat]

it enough times, eventually you might get it. It's tough to use other people's judgment on that when they don't really know what's going on.

[Titus]

Did they have anybody coaching you?

[Big Cat]

There was, like, a couple guys who were trying to help us out, but they were kind of like, you guys suck.

[Titus]

Yeah. No, but before the stream started, there was nobody. That's like, here's the general idea how to do this.

[Big Cat]

No, Pete. Pete was my coach. The man who curled twice in his life. He was my coach. A time thing was cool, though. They. That Was one thing they helped us out with. They're like, if you time it from here to here, you can pretty much know if it's a good shot.

[Dana]

That helped immediately.

[Titus]

The hog Line. Line. That's. Yeah, That's a pretty cool name for a line, isn't it?

[Big Cat]

Take it to the hog.

[Dana]

To the hog.

[Mikey Betts]

Hard.

[Titus]

Did you guys do that?

[Dana]

Hot.

[Titus]

Hot, Hot. That's hot sweeping. You tell someone to sweep harder. You go hard.

[Dana]

No.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Dana]

That needs some help. That needs some help.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Titus]

When I was watching in the first hour, you said the phrase, that's a perfect shot shot at least a thousand times. So never was a perfect.

[Big Cat]

Well, the rule was that if we hit a perfect shot, we could end the stream, but you have to call it a perfect shot. So I just kept on saying perfect shot. I missed that part, like, just in case. Perfect shot.

[Titus]

Okay, that makes more sense.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Titus]

I thought. I thought. You guys, like, legitimately thought.

[Big Cat]

Oh, no, I.

[Titus]

Out the back, I was.

[Big Cat]

I was throwing them, like. Yeah. Like, sideways. I'm like, perfect shot. Because if. If we had hit a perfect shot by accident, not said perfect shot, that would have been disaster.

[Nick]

Is it really, like, the slightest.

[Big Cat]

Oh, it's the. The things move so fast.

[Titus]

You're not supposed to, like, throw it. No, you're supposed to just let go.

[Big Cat]

You're supposed to be moving your body fast enough that you can just let go of it.

[Titus]

Right?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, a push is bad, but, yeah, there would be times where I'm like, oh, that's not enough, and it would just fly. The stopwatch helped a ton with that.

[Kate]

Ton.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Hard, hard, hard. All right.

[Kate]

Are you guys doing the dug dug again on After Dark?

[Big Cat]

Yes, we are March 3rd.

[Whitney]

Third.

[Big Cat]

What are we doing for that, Lucas? I heard there's two teams. No, I don't.

[Dana]

I don't know if we want to

[Mikey Betts]

spoil it now because it's so far

[Big Cat]

out, but, yeah, there's going to be

[Mikey Betts]

more people, and we have a twist for it.

[Kate]

I would love to throw, so.

[Big Cat]

But we're all on the same team.

[Mikey Betts]

Yes.

[Big Cat]

All right, good.

[Kate]

I'd love to throw my hat in the ring so you guys could get mad at me for half the. I can't eat.

[Big Cat]

I would love that. Just come along.

[Kate]

You could scream at me. I can. I can only have fries at some place. I'll have fries and Sprite.

[Big Cat]

That was the. That was the one we did last year. That was when Lucas tried to give me roadhead. Oh, yeah. On camera.

[Kate]

That went under the radar.

[Big Cat]

It was fucking crazy.

[Titus]

Take your Designated Sprite. If any Sprite order I got, tummy

[Kate]

gets full, I take up a seat in the car and I. I'm at a caloric negative by the end of it.

[Big Cat]

Wait, so who's doing it?

[Mikey Betts]

We did have a dropout from the

[Big Cat]

original team from last year, which is Max. I think he's in the cave right now. Kdick, we can't lose K Dick.

[Mikey Betts]

He.

[Big Cat]

He has a commitment. He can't. He can't make it.

[Mikey Betts]

But I think we have a good.

[Kate]

Tap me in, coach.

[Dana]

We could.

[Big Cat]

I. We'd love to have you, Nick.

[Dana]

I'm in.

[Mikey Betts]

We called. We called Rico.

[Dana]

But I'm willing to bump Rico.

[Titus]

No, no, no.

[Kate]

Rico first. But if not, I'd love to be a liability.

[Big Cat]

That would be funny to do like A2 cars and have it be like you Spider. Yeah, the. The guys who can't eat. Yeah, it's just like they got to two and a half rest.

[Kate]

I could have one of. I'll have your Patty.

[Titus]

I can't eat that. I'm sorry. Say that over and over. Get a super cut at the end of the night of Nick being like, I can't eat that.

[Dana]

I'm sorry, boys.

[Big Cat]

No, no, no. Can't eat that.

[Kate]

No can do.

[Titus]

No.

[Dana]

Am I in that, Lucas?

[Big Cat]

Yes.

[Dana]

Oh, nice.

[Mikey Betts]

All right, cool.

[Big Cat]

I don't know if it's pretty much

[Mikey Betts]

just everyone from the curling is in it as well. Oh yeah.

[Big Cat]

Pathetic titans.

[Dana]

A lot of pathetic titans.

[Big Cat]

That's just the pathetic. We should just rebrand it Pathetic Titans After Dark.

[Mikey Betts]

That one's a sneaky, like, actually really fun one. Even though you're doing.

[Big Cat]

Ah, you. You guys had fun. You. We had fun, but it was painful and the ending was incredible. I had ice cream coming out of my nose.

[Dana]

That was the funniest ending of all time.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Can we have a 50? 50 wheel? Whether it's me or Deutsch helping you

[Mikey Betts]

out on the next drive.

[Big Cat]

It was. I mean, any of the ones that are just like the boys having camaraderie is fun. That's like one of those.

[Kate]

Puking with the boys is really, really good bonding.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it is. Because I struggle with it. Cuz I'm like. Like last night I should have just been home and I was like, I don't want to do this. And then once we started doing, I was like, it's just the boys hanging out. Like, fuck. I actually. This is like my favorite part of the job. All right. Good show, boys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Got the wheel for us. Sorry you had to see us. Jazzercise. Chase is never gonna do it with us. He's our only Chinese guy. He's not gonna do it. I actually would love to get wet right now.

[Dana]

Same.

[Kate]

I want those socks.

[Big Cat]

All right. See everyone on Monday. Assign the talk shop or do Yankee

[Mikey Betts]

Bob is the act.

[Big Cat]

It's the act.

[Dana]

Have a good weekend.

[Mikey Betts]

Go usa hockey.
