Tone & Style Notes

The tone is lighthearted, unfiltered, bro-y, but also deeply affectionate. Running gags about “tits,” “puking,” and “street signs”—plus inside Barstool disputes and Super Bowl week exhaustion—dominate. When Ian arrives, the show hits an unexpectedly educational and calming stride, with everyone getting buzzed and waxing philosophical about wine, work, and friendship.

Final Thoughts

This episode of The Yak is classic Barstool: rowdy, rambling, brimming with inside jokes and absurd bits, but also peppered with moments of sincerity and surprising cultural insight. The master sommelier segment with Ian Cobble is a highlight, somehow uniting wine snobbery and bro humor, and sending the crew home in a well-lubricated, convivial haze. Whether you’re in it for sports, bar fights, wine nerdery, or pure chaos, there’s a slice for everyone.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Che, where's your cock?

[Stephen]

Right here.

[Eddie]

Right here, buddy.

[Hank]

What kind of underwear is that? Just a standard issue. White.

[Stephen]

It's white. It's Brady brand. It's boxer briefs. This actually might be the first or second use, probably. They're good. No dick flap, though. It's just white's bold in there.

[Hank]

What about a wayward fart?

[Stephen]

Yeah, No, I have diarrhea today, too, so it's not great. It was the last pair. It was the last day.

[Brandon Walker]

It's the last day.

[Kate]

Last day.

[Eddie]

Last day.

[Big Cat]

Diarrhea.

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Clean it out. How was everyone's night last night?

[Danny]

Good.

[Eddie]

Good.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, Good.

[Eddie]

I had. Remember when I went on Ron.com last week and we were talking about how it's like a weird feeling of. Of when I walk? Like the bonfire at Camp Barstool. It's like the vibe shift happens. Not in a bad way, but everyone's like, oh, no.

[Hank]

You walk into the room and the boss is here.

[Eddie]

Yeah. So I went to a bar last night. I knew the owner, and I got there before, like, basically it was like. It just became like a barstool party. And I was just sitting in the corner and watching people react when they turned around after, like, Dana had been chugging beers, and then he turned around an hour later and was like, you've been here the whole time?

[Hank]

I heard Nicky Smokes, like, dump the coke out of his nose when he.

[Ian Cobble]

Saw you sounded all smoked out.

[Eddie]

I was sitting next to my buddy who owns the bar, and Nicky smokes walks up and he's like, what's up, boss man? I was like, so you're still here? He's like, yeah, but did you see all the work I did today? And he was like, I rebounded. I flipped a coin. And then. And then my buddy was just like, was that. That was it? And I was like, yeah, that was it.

[Hank]

That was the whole tarps off for both of them. That was the whole day in solidarity with Rosillo.

[Eddie]

He did it all out.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah. Kate, you brought Jackie papers out?

[Kate]

I did.

[Big Cat]

I met him.

[Brandon Walker]

Cool guy.

[Kate]

Cool guy. He's a fun guy.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah.

[Hank]

Is he regretting his. His identity being out there? A little bit.

[Kate]

He was actually more upset that Che called him an email marketing manager than the failed gang.

[Eddie]

Bang bang.

[Brandon Walker]

So right. Walked right up to me, introduced himself, asked when I was getting married, asked if I we wanted a third. And then, then he told me about a chick with a pacemaker. Good guy.

[Kyle]

It's so hard. Like I have to mentally pull a string in order to talk.

[Danny]

We'll give you space.

[Kyle]

I can't really commit to a story.

[Brandon Walker]

Why don't you take a few days?

[Kyle]

Probably should.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

How was a dozen last night?

[Hank]

Yeah, you'd be shocked.

[Eddie]

Who won?

[Hank]

It was not Brandon. Believe it or not, Brandon lost, even though everyone thought he was gonna win.

[Eddie]

Was it Dave Portnoy?

[Hank]

Dave actually won.

[Stephen]

So it was actually security guard Pat.

[Eddie]

But I did see security guard Pat. The meme of like, my bro hasn't moved.

[Hank]

And Hank was having a moment. Hank was like, everything locked in for Hank.

[Eddie]

We were doing PMT in the afternoon and we were predicting it and I said, if you had to bet more, safeties in the super bowl are points that Hank gets. Yeah, like you take safety of the Super Bowl. And then he just was on fire.

[Big Cat]

He's on fire.

[Danny]

It was the first three.

[Eddie]

What was he getting?

[Danny]

What questions was a Super bowl question? NBA question.

[Stephen]

The super bowl was a double. So yeah, you got two in the first.

[Hank]

It was who was the halftime show when the super bowl was or no, who.

[Ian Cobble]

Kira and. And then the Eminem doctor.

[Hank]

Yeah, I wouldn't have known at all.

[Danny]

They were both recent. They were in the last five or six years.

[Hank]

He said it was cuz of the Mincy halftime show.

[Brandon Walker]

He remembered it, said nola must be Rams.

[Eddie]

Miny does have a halftime show this year, by the way.

[Stephen]

He does?

[Eddie]

Hell yeah. Pre taped.

[Danny]

Let's see.

[Ian Cobble]

He only told me about that.

[Hank]

Bad Bony.

[Eddie]

Bad Bony something.

[Hank]

Bad Bony Relay.

[Eddie]

Bad Bony.

[Brandon Walker]

Boston Rob was good.

[Big Cat]

Oh yeah, he was awesome. Yeah, we. We asked. I asked him what his niche was and he said street signs. Like, like Rob's like, you guys good this? And we're like, I don't know. I don't know. And then we're like, are you like, what are you good at? And he goes, street signs.

[Brandon Walker]

So we said like, stop. And Yoda was like, exactly, yeah.

[Eddie]

Six year old's good at that too.

[Big Cat]

I. I'll think about it the rest of my life. Boston Rob still like, if we get street signs, I got it.

[Brandon Walker]

And Dave was so perplexed by that answer. He's like, well, like, how many are there in the world? Like, different street signs. And Boston Rob's like, over a.

[Hank]

That's another example of how the dozen. Like, he's one of the smartest guys in the world. K. KB and I were waxing poetic about how awesome Boston Rob is. He's like, manipulative and smart and he's a good poker player. He's a fucking beast. But not for. Not. Not the dozen.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, unless it was street signs, then he would.

[Big Cat]

I mean, we kept waiting. That's why I kept saying, we're down. We're down onto our points. And I was like, we're not out of this because street signs is coming up.

[Hank]

It's gotta be around the pike.

[Big Cat]

Around 10 or 11 actually would be.

[Eddie]

A funny category of like, when. When they do. When Jeff does the bonus round where you, like, keep going back and forth.

[Ian Cobble]

Naming streets until you run out.

[Eddie]

I actually don't know.

[Hank]

Should we go around right now?

[Kyle]

All right, all right, all right, stop.

[Eddie]

I'll do stop.

[Brandon Walker]

So since when do we start in the middle?

[Eddie]

I'm quickly realizing I don't know any street signs.

[Danny]

I'm gonna go.

[Ian Cobble]

Stop.

[Brandon Walker]

Good one. I'll go one way.

[Danny]

Oh, yield Do.

[Brandon Walker]

You're the man, Brandon. Don't be mean to me.

It's gotta be right.

[Hank]

How many people is that if you play Wrigley?

[Danny]

40.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

It's probably like 45.

[Danny]

But do they go all the way around? Yeah.

[Stephen]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

No, they don't do the bleachers. Probably. Yeah. Like 35. 40.

[Hank]

How about our brother, Shane Gillis this summer is playing in front of the biggest comedy crowd that's ever been assembled.

[Eddie]

It's crazy, Link.

[Hank]

It's already sold out to, like 89,000 people just to see comedy.

[Brandon Walker]

I was talking to Feitelberg about doing shows with Bert. He's done just as many arenas as he's done clubs now.

[Ian Cobble]

Jesus.

[Eddie]

That's awesome.

[Brandon Walker]

It's fucking insane. It's so awesome.

[Hank]

Only him. He's the only person that could have, like, the confidence and not be, like, nervous.

[Brandon Walker]

He's like, I'm used to it. I'm used to arenas.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. He probably get nervous if he does a small club.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

There's too few people.

[Eddie]

He just started in the big leagues.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Where.

[Hank]

Who else can do that? Who else?

[Stephen]

You.

[Kyle]

Holy. I would Say you.

[Hank]

I definitely could do that.

[Eddie]

Actually, you 100 can.

[Hank]

That's terrifying. I would suck ass at it. But, yeah, Noah Khan was crushing it.

[Ian Cobble]

Hank was crushing the crowd.

[Big Cat]

Who's. Who's his. There's a lot of white women.

[Hank]

A lot of white women going crazy corporate. I bet that there was probably one to two billionaires.

[Big Cat]

Oh, really?

[Hank]

It was all rich guys. Like a lot of other NFL parties, it's always like, that's an NFL guy. That's an NFL guy. That's an NFL guy. There's none of that. At noon, I didn't see one guy that was like, famous or NFL adjacent. It was interesting. A different crowd.

[Brandon Walker]

All the workaholic guys came to the tonga room with us afterwards.

[Eddie]

Oh, hell, yes. Those guys are.

[Ian Cobble]

They're awesome.

[Brandon Walker]

They're great.

[Eddie]

They're the absolute best. The. I remember what I was going to say. Saw Shefter. You want to play that video, tj?

[Stephen]

Bad.

[Eddie]

Bad for Che. With the shifter jersey yesterday.

[Stephen]

Not ideal.

[Eddie]

No.

[Hank]

You were wearing it around him.

[Eddie]

No.

[Danny]

You.

[Eddie]

No. But he was aware of it.

[Danny]

He was aware of it. You made him aware of it.

[Eddie]

I said, did you see Che today? And he goes, yeah. What was that?

[Danny]

Okay.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Not good. Not good. That's your guy.

[Stephen]

I know. We texted this morning. Let's smooth it over.

[Hank]

What'd you say?

[Eddie]

I'll unsmooth it.

[Danny]

Which one was worse, the shifter or the slur user?

[Eddie]

I did tell him. He did. He was like, what was that? And I was like, well, he was wearing a eater one earlier in the week, so.

[Brandon Walker]

So everything he was wearing is true?

[Eddie]

Yeah. We got sound. Hey. Hey. Che. Got some bad news for you. That's bad?

[Danny]

Yeah. He didn't say anything.

[Eddie]

That's bad. Did you get in a. Did you bite Danny Conrad last night?

[Ian Cobble]

He sure did.

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Why'd you bite Danny?

[Eddie]

What would be the. What is.

[Stephen]

What's the third?

[Eddie]

So you did you. But you bit him?

[Stephen]

Yes.

[Eddie]

What would be. If it wasn't a yes or no question, what would it be?

[Stephen]

Well, there's a lot of testimony. I think Danny is going to.

[Eddie]

Testimony?

[Stephen]

Yeah, we. We spoke in front of a lawyer last night.

[Danny]

Sure did.

[Ian Cobble]

It really escalated.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

I put Stephen in a headlock and then he bit me. Called the truce. After he called the truce, he put me in a headlock and I said, you can't do that. You'd still be in a headlock right now if you didn't call truce.

[Eddie]

This is a picture.

[Ian Cobble]

Look how long your legs are.

[Danny]

That's a hell of A headlock.

[Hank]

We were outside.

[Stephen]

We were waiting. We were waiting for an Uber. I went out there. Danny was already out there with Kate, Johnny Papers, and a few other people and. And Mikey Betts. And then Danny took me from behind and took me down. I was like, come on, dude, let's not do that. So then.

[Eddie]

No, you got him. You tagged him.

[Stephen]

I went from behind and I gave Danny a chokehold. And then I was like, all right, that might have been a little bit too much. I let go. And then we were slap boxing, and Danny slapped me. And I said, all right, that was nice. All right, let's do a truce now.

[Ian Cobble]

Yes.

[Stephen]

Is this correct so far?

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Stephen]

Okay. So we made a truce, and then Danny then put me in a chokehold.

[Ian Cobble]

No, no, no. Yeah, and you put me in the chokehold, Steven.

[Stephen]

Okay, well, Danny put me in a chokehold, and then I said, let go. I'm gonna bite you. And then he didn't let go, and so I bit him.

[Hank]

Where'd you bite him?

[Danny]

That seems fair.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Hank]

Where'd you get him?

[Ian Cobble]

On the arm? It was bad last night. You can't really see it now. Kind of a biter.

[Eddie]

But you bit it up.

[Danny]

This doesn't feel like it's over, guys.

[Stephen]

So there's no video. There's a video that Danny stole from Mikey Betts. Mikey Betts was filming this.

[Brandon Walker]

I.

[Stephen]

Then after that, I got up and I took Danny and I pushed him over a bush.

[Ian Cobble]

Steven called truce. Stephen called truce. Then he pushed me over a ledge, and I couldn't get him to an actual fight.

[Kyle]

Why?

[Stephen]

We were hing around, having fun.

[Big Cat]

How did this.

[Kate]

It was in front of such a beautiful, nice hotel, too. And all these fancy cars were rolling up and people were getting out all dressed up. And then these two were just, like, fighting in the bushes.

[Stephen]

Yeah. And so I pushed him over a bush.

[Big Cat]

And then how did this start? This was just like some fight club. You just had some aggression.

[Stephen]

You just took me down. And then I went from behind.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, but again, you keep saying that. That's not something. That's just a common occurrence. Like, you got. You. You can't just say, we just took me down. Yeah, we don't. I don't go to dinner with my friends. And then we just, you know, he just casually took me down. How did that.

[Stephen]

I don't know, because you. You had the first move, and then I. The second, we just kind of got aggressive.

[Big Cat]

Let me talk to Danny. Danny?

[Hank]

Why?

[Ian Cobble]

I put him in a friendly headlock, and then it escalated because he somehow got to the ground. So I was like this. He tried wiggling out, and then it kind of escalated, right?

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

And so then.

[Danny]

Friendly headlock. Doesn't sound like it goes to the ground, Danny.

[Ian Cobble]

No, he brought it to the ground, though. He was having way too much defense, which. Which escalated.

[Danny]

So you just.

[Big Cat]

Behind the friendly headlock.

[Ian Cobble]

We were talking about something that led to.

[Danny]

Now we're good.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Stephen]

I just got out there and I was waiting for the Uber.

[Ian Cobble]

Jackie. Yeah.

[Eddie]

You were talking smack about Jackie.

[Stephen]

No, I did make fun of his lock screen. What was it?

[Eddie]

Oh, wow. You never do that.

[Brandon Walker]

What's his lock screen?

[Ian Cobble]

You actually could have gotten a shot for that, Danny.

[Danny]

I feel like that's pretty normal.

[Ian Cobble]

No, no.

[Stephen]

I just got outside to wait for the Uber.

[Ian Cobble]

I changed it to Rossillo's story after.

[Stephen]

Yeah, but it was fun. We made up later and we went to a separate bar. Me, Danny, Mikey Betts, and then two people we don't know that were with us, but that witnessed the whole thing. And then we called them.

[Hank]

Call those witnesses.

[Stephen]

I have no. I don't even know their names, if I'm being honest.

[Eddie]

They're just two random guys who are watching.

[Brandon Walker]

It wasn't the guy with the vertical hair, was it?

[Stephen]

Vertical hair?

[Ian Cobble]

Oh, no.

[Stephen]

That guy was cool.

[Brandon Walker]

He got thrown out of the dozen.

[Eddie]

He did?

[Big Cat]

Yes.

[Kate]

The guy who looked like Rufio.

[Brandon Walker]

Yes.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Was he unruly? It was a.

[Danny]

It was. It was not the best crowd.

[Kate]

Crowd was tuned up.

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Stephen]

Parker is my Barry Bonds for today.

[Danny]

We had. We had one corner over there. That was just a problem.

[Stephen]

A real problem. Who?

[Hank]

Which corner? The top right.

[Danny]

No, left by the stage. Yeah, they were. They were doing some things.

[Ian Cobble]

I saw. I'm on a dozen team now. Something tells me you're behind it.

[Brandon Walker]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Eddie]

You're on a dozen team.

[Danny]

Congratulations. Welcome to the show.

[Stephen]

It's Dan two fake people, Luke Canard, and then PMT gifts.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, yeah.

[Danny]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

I remember that.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

You guys are gonna be good, dude.

[Eddie]

That's a solid. Yeah, that is a solid team.

[Brandon Walker]

Gifts is the man.

[Eddie]

Why don't you guys dress like today?

[Brandon Walker]

We were going to walk to Ross and decided not to.

[Danny]

There was a big line. There was a line at Ross. We didn't have time.

[Eddie]

We had to go get our steam anyway.

[Danny]

Yeah, we just. We just. We tried and it didn't work.

[Brandon Walker]

I have some gifts.

[Ian Cobble]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

I do have a surprise for later on in the show to kick up the steam to end in A strong note.

[Danny]

Good. Are they Paris titties?

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

No.

[Brandon Walker]

Did I give you something yet?

[Kate]

I don't think so. No.

[Brandon Walker]

Dragon.

[Kate]

Thank you.

[Ian Cobble]

So sick.

[Eddie]

Kate, how many steps did you end up with?

[Kate]

I'm at. I. I'm at 79 or. No, 89,089. 936.

[Danny]

You're gonna finish in the airport, so I think.

[Kate]

Well, I've only done that.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

What is that?

[Eddie]

This, actually, I feel like you would rock this.

[Kate]

Really?

[Eddie]

Well, Can I give this to you?

[Danny]

Oh, you just received it?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Thank you.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Well, I.

[Eddie]

That's a sick.

[Big Cat]

Brandon.

[Brandon Walker]

I didn't bring it because it's packed, but I got a pretty big katana for Tommy.

[Danny]

Okay.

[Stephen]

All right.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

It's in my.

[Eddie]

You can do that.

[Brandon Walker]

It's in my carrot. It's in my chest.

[Eddie]

Checked luggage. Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

And who else did I get for. Who wants a lunchbox? Che?

[Ian Cobble]

Sure.

[Kate]

Oh, a little bento box.

[Ian Cobble]

A bento box.

[Stephen]

Chopsticks?

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh, nice.

[Brandon Walker]

And I thought the message on it was sweet.

[Eddie]

Nice catch, Jay.

[Danny]

There's his underwear.

[Kate]

Oh, that's cute. That's really meaningful. Look at what it says on the front of it.

[Stephen]

Hi, field of animals. The world is a happier place when I'm with you.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Stephen]

Love it.

[Danny]

Oh, beautiful.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Danny]

That's so, so lovely.

[Big Cat]

Very well said.

[Ian Cobble]

I saw it and thought of you.

[Stephen]

This is very much like the Jeff D. Lowe lunchbox. Three years for you. Yeah.

[Hank]

Are you gonna use that? Stephen, will you use that for real lunch?

[Stephen]

Yeah. I'm a meal prep guy, so, yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

There we go.

[Ian Cobble]

That's nice. Thank you.

[Hank]

That's sick.

[Eddie]

It was a tiny lunch roan.

[Brandon Walker]

Thank you for the.

[Ian Cobble]

The shirt.

[Hank]

I'm so glad. I thought you'd love it. Had you written all over it.

[Ian Cobble]

It's so slowly.

[Eddie]

Ron told me yesterday Sass isn't coming. He was just. He was just trying to incept it.

[Ian Cobble]

I was trying to speak it into.

[Hank]

Existence because I was like, if I can get Dave to say he has a ticket, then I could be like, sash, you have a fucking ticket.

[Kate]

Fly out, dude.

[Ian Cobble]

What the fuck?

[Hank]

He says, you have one. It's not like he's just gonna come, but, yeah, poor guy. I try. Yeah. I asked Dave before the show, and he said that he had. He had made a lot of phone calls and texts about Sass. Whether he was, like. He, like, looked into it more than he's looked into anything sass related.

[Danny]

So was it the dalliance with the bills that cost him?

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Was he an Eagles Fan for a little bit, too.

[Hank]

He supported the team. I don't say. I would say he's a fan, But I try. I mean, I tried.

[Eddie]

Sasser, just buy a ticket.

[Stephen]

He could.

[Hank]

Well, he said he doesn't even want to go because he went last year, Kendrick Lamar already. And he said he doesn't like Bad Bonnie because he doesn't know what the words are.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Hank]

And he doesn't know what the fuck he's saying.

[Brandon Walker]

He said he wants an American performer.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, makes sense.

[Hank]

Puerto Rican. But the. Yeah, it should be a good halftime show.

[Eddie]

I guess that Boney. I don't know any of his songs.

[Hank]

That one song is awesome, but I don't know any of them.

[Danny]

Yeah, I just know the one he used to. For his entrance in wwe.

[Stephen]

That was cool.

[Danny]

The whole crowd sang it. Like I went to Cool song.

[Hank]

Is it that one?

[Danny]

No, different one. No, it was something different.

[Eddie]

I feel like that's, like the. The question that everyone on radio row asks, name a Bad Bunny song. I would be.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, same.

[Kyle]

I just, like, really don't know Spanish right.

[Hank]

And I think that's valid. I don't think that that's like. I don't think you're a bigot for that.

[Eddie]

Wait, is he gonna do all the songs in Spanish?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, all the songs are all the songs, Right? He doesn't do it.

[Hank]

You're not gonna know what he's saying. But they're bops and, like, people jump around. I think the energy is good.

[Eddie]

I do love that the super bowl halftime show is just purely just for rage bait.

[Danny]

Now.

[Stephen]

You're right.

[Eddie]

It means nothing.

[Danny]

It only pisses people off.

[Eddie]

And it's so stupid.

[Brandon Walker]

I was with Fasoli. Me and Kyle were with Fasoli when they announced who it was.

[Eddie]

And. Thumbs down.

[Kate]

I'm excited. I think he's hot.

[Brandon Walker]

He's handsome.

[Kate]

He's a handsome man.

[Brandon Walker]

But have you seen him? Like bangers 10 years ago? What?

[Hank]

He looked like Face Max?

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, he looks Max.

[Danny]

It was.

[Ian Cobble]

He was.

[Stephen]

It was wild.

[Kate]

Wait, really?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Stephen]

What does that mean?

[Brandon Walker]

Like, at the peak of his, like, when he was starting to get popular, he was a completely different man.

[Kate]

Interesting. So we got, like, a jaw, very.

[Brandon Walker]

Pale, redone grills, and, like, a weird pattern in his hair. It was pasty.

[Hank]

I think that they're just trying to get a. Yeah, it's completely different. It looks like Nate on the left.

[Stephen]

He does.

[Hank]

I think they're just trying to get a new. An audience that does not like the most opposite from a football audience as possible. Just Something. There's no overlap. Just someone. Who wouldn't be watching anyway. It's just like. I'll put this on.

The so Mikey Betts said that he was wrong for the Frank argument because he got cockblocked by Nikki smokes. He can't jerk off.

[Danny]

What?

[Stephen]

Yeah. So me, Danny and Mikey Betts were outside last night. We saw you. We saw a couple of people coming in. And so I asked him, like, hey, are, like, things okay with you and Frank? Like, how'd it go today? And he said, yeah, we smoothed it over. And I was like, what is it like having Nikki smokes in your room? Do you guys have separate keys? Whatever. He's like, yeah. He's like, but it sucks, man. He's like, I can't jerk off. He's like, honestly, I don't think that Frank blow up ever would happen if I just was able to jerk off.

[Eddie]

I love that he got blocked from his own hand.

[Hank]

That's probably why he was such a good blocker. Like he probably had. So it was practicing semen retention all football season and was taking dudes heads off.

[Eddie]

It makes sense. He tried to stop jerking off as much and he started getting into like political Twitter and it was bad. Became a bad scene quickly.

[Hank]

Yeah, we need everyone jerking off just.

[Eddie]

So they can chill the up him and Frank. Yeah, I said that I'd do mediation when we get back.

[Stephen]

They're walking around now. They're.

[Danny]

They're.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Oh, are taintess.

[Danny]

That's. That. I didn't.

[Kate]

What does this mean?

[Kyle]

I over Frank?

[Danny]

Yeah, Kyle, you did.

[Ian Cobble]

She's upset. I'm just feeling a lot of like, sensation.

[Eddie]

I think she said.

[Ian Cobble]

What? What did you say we're doing here? Oh, the. It's the giddy up to get it up.

[Eddie]

You got to giddy up to get it up.

[Ian Cobble]

Frank's getting his taint tickler.

[Eddie]

Taint tickler?

[Danny]

What? Oh, she's being serious.

[Kate]

To get a. What's the purpose of taint tickler?

[Danny]

The male G. So Kyle, what you do? Kyle, we passed. We passed Frank in the lobby this morning.

[Ian Cobble]

I could.

[Kyle]

Yeah, I was booked to lift with him at 8 or 8 and you know, I know show.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, that was the first thing you said to us.

[Kyle]

I feel horrible.

[Eddie]

Kyle, Kyle, Kyle.

[Danny]

You can make it up.

[Eddie]

How could you?

[Stephen]

Did you.

[Hank]

Did you forget?

[Kyle]

No, I.

[Eddie]

Grew up.

[Kyle]

Yeah, that was the bad part. Yeah, I just really, very much remembered.

[Big Cat]

Damn Tonga room wasn't for you. Because everyone. Everyone at this company seems like degrees.

[Ian Cobble]

Acting like it's the greatest just.

[Kyle]

I was just entangled in dude discussion for three hours, uninterrupted. Like I had six dudes who I had ongoing conversations with for three straight hours, which was great.

[Hank]

Strangers or acquaintances?

[Kyle]

New men.

[Danny]

Six different conversations. Or just in and out.

[Kyle]

Just go left to right. Dude to dude to dude.

[Hank]

So you can't tell them that your voice is too like. In that circumstance you can be like, I need to be quiet.

[Kyle]

Yeah, it was good conversations.

[Hank]

But you didn't like the bar.

[Kyle]

The bar was really cool. I wish there was no music.

[Brandon Walker]

It was closed.

[Big Cat]

There was no music.

[Brandon Walker]

I guess it was closed that they turned. The band stopped at 10:30. We had to be out by 11. They stopped serving drinks at 10 at a bar.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't understand like the. It was in a hotel close early here. Like all of them close like midnight.

[Hank]

The hotel bar here was closed as well. I know that A lot of our co workers were at the. The hotel bar. And it was closed before 10, I think.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I feel like super bowl. You have to just keep all the.

[Ian Cobble]

Bars open the whole time.

[Stephen]

Is that a Pacific time zone thing because there's no sports on?

[Eddie]

No.

[Brandon Walker]

Yes, I think so.

[Eddie]

That's not it.

[Hank]

Because they're on east coast time.

[Eddie]

You think they close the bars early here because there's no spots.

[Big Cat]

Did the Tonga room have a bunch of TVs?

[Stephen]

No, actually none.

[Kate]

That bar that your friends are had so many finals.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Kate]

I've never seen more TVs.

[Eddie]

That was a cool bar.

[Kate]

Great.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Kate]

That was an awesome bar.

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Wait, so Steven, you think that like the entire Pacific time zone, they're just like every last calls at midnight just because.

[Stephen]

Well, if you're at a sports bar. Yeah. What's on tv? Like tnt.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but that doesn't mean that you can't.

[Danny]

Washing phones.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

You can keep drinking.

[Stephen]

Yeah, but I would assume it's. It doesn't attract an audience. As much of an audience.

[Danny]

You start talking to each other.

[Eddie]

People only go to bars to watch games.

[Stephen]

No, I mean, but if it's a sports bar.

[Big Cat]

But it's not. The Tonga Room's not a sports bar.

[Stephen]

And also they don't have TVs there.

[Big Cat]

Right. So I guess the question would be like, why would the Tonga Room need to close early if they.

[Eddie]

Are you talking about like a Buffalo Wild Wings? I guess I would understand what you're saying. But every other bar in the history of bars.

[Hank]

I think less than like 20 of bars are sports bars.

[Eddie]

And even sports bars.

[Brandon Walker]

You think set of bars do you think are sports bars?

[Stephen]

50.

[Eddie]

No. And even sports bars are not. Like. Like I've. You can stay drinking when the games aren't on.

[Danny]

Some of them are more bar than sports.

[Eddie]

Right. They're. It's just bars with TVs.

[Stephen]

Yeah, I guess that's true.

[Eddie]

You're sounding like a guy who's never been to a bar.

[Danny]

I sound like Mr. Outside Bars.

[Hank]

50% is a lot, I think for sports bars.

[Eddie]

So many.

[Stephen]

Yeah. I guess I'm assuming like every bar that has more than one TV is a sports bar.

[Eddie]

I think. No, I think what you're assuming is ever you've the.

[Stephen]

The bars.

[Eddie]

You've been to 50 of them.

[Big Cat]

You ever gone to a bar with TVs that's not showing sports what are they showing?

[Eddie]

Whatever music videos or movies usually cast away with commercials.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, you're right.

[Eddie]

Just so it's four hours long.

[Danny]

Commercials.

[Brandon Walker]

50% of ours might be cast.

[Kyle]

They always play castaways.

[Big Cat]

I love the music video bars. I don't talk to anybody. I just watch the music video, stand there and stare at the video.

[Hank]

Yeah, there's horror movie bars too. There's some bars that only play horror movies.

[Brandon Walker]

There's a Jeopardy bar in Lincoln Park. Great.

[Ian Cobble]

That's awesome.

[Hank]

Do you guys think that Frank the Tank is the one that reminded Mikey Betts that he needs to jerk off to keep like his sane? He was like, mike, you got to be jerking off more.

[Eddie]

What the hell, Mike? I told you.

[Hank]

I told you to beat off.

[Eddie]

Part of your job is to beat off. I think it is that poison out.

[Brandon Walker]

I love how Mikey Betts was like, I don't want to have to drive him an hour and a half for a hot dog. But he's fine to take him to get his taint stimulated.

[Eddie]

Yeah. They basically. Mikey Betz is like, I'm so horny. That's why I'm mad. Let's get hornier together.

[Ian Cobble]

Edge edging with Tank two video series.

[Hank]

I saw him yesterday, though. He was walking solo up a steep incline hill to do his own hot dog review. To go and shoot and film one of his own reviews. He didn't even need Mike.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Kate]

I have a new respect for him. Doing 20,000 steps a day. That's crazy. I didn't realize that takes. That's like four hours at least. Takes a long time.

[Hank]

Security. Mike said that Dave has been walking everywhere. That they did 26,000 steps yesterday.

[Danny]

Wow.

[Hank]

Dave did.

[Kate]

They started a thing with those sandwiches that everybody in town is going to get those amazing.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Toasted. I had a good. I went to Ocean beach yesterday. Was walking around. I went to this place called the Rusty Ladle. And all they do is different soups. I got like three different kinds. A deconstructed hot wing soup with crispy tater tot crumble. And I'm sitting there eating outside and the woman comes out. She's like, I have to tell you, this is my dad's restaurant. And him, my brother and I are all yackers. We watch the yak every day. I guess I just don't think about west coast being more barstool for some reason. I don't really.

[Eddie]

It's crazy the like the 10 years. Because we were here 10 years ago. We were just walking around. No one was.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Now It's.

[Kate]

Yeah, I was, like, kind of stunned by it, and they were so, so nice. And then I said, come to the dozen. And now I have a big T shirt that says I love soup. So it all worked out.

[Eddie]

Look at that.

[Ian Cobble]

What a come up, Kate.

[Kate]

Yeah, that's my crazy anecdote for the week. I have an I love soup T shirt, and it's cool, but highly recommend. It was so, so good.

[Ian Cobble]

And who doesn't love soup?

[Kate]

Who doesn't love soup? I texted pft. I was like, you gotta get over here. Oh, they had a good clam chowder too, apparently.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yeah.

[Kate]

Like, known for their.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

So I got the bread bowl. I got the. The sourdough with the clam chowder.

[Kate]

And live up to that.

[Big Cat]

We did it together, and we both kind of came to the same conclusion where we're like, this is a ton of bread.

[Ian Cobble]

Taste the entire bread bowl to realize.

[Big Cat]

Like, God damn, this is a lot of bread.

[Stephen]

Everything was bread.

[Big Cat]

Everything's bread. But, you know.

[Brandon Walker]

Did you eat the whole bowl?

[Big Cat]

No, no, we made it, like, halfway and then we tapped out. This is just too much. It's just entirely too much bread.

[Stephen]

One complaint.

[Big Cat]

But it was fun. It was like. Like, eating your bowl is pretty cool. That first. Those first couple bites where you're like, I ate the soup, now I'm gonna eat the bowl.

[Hank]

All parts of the buffalo.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, I'll say it's.

[Brandon Walker]

Say it differently.

[Hank]

All parts of the buffalo.

[Ian Cobble]

Buffalo. Thanks, man.

[Hank]

That's out of respect.

[Ian Cobble]

Oh, yeah.

[Stephen]

Is there a worser alternative than worse? Is there a worse alternative than Manhattan clam chowder? To New England clam chowder?

[Danny]

Oh, that's a. That's a big difference.

[Brandon Walker]

What's Manhattan?

[Danny]

The red.

[Stephen]

It's red.

[Hank]

It's gross.

[Brandon Walker]

Why is it red?

[Ian Cobble]

It's just different.

[Danny]

It's brothy.

[Big Cat]

I learned that from Ace Ventura.

[Danny]

Oh, that's right.

[Big Cat]

You remember that.

[Danny]

Oh, the password to get into the.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Oreos and Hydrox.

[Ian Cobble]

You ever had those?

[Kate]

Hydrox are the worst.

[Eddie]

Worst.

[Brandon Walker]

Hydrox came first.

[Ian Cobble]

Oreos copied Hydrox.

[Eddie]

I just remember big fall off.

[Kate]

Give us Hydra.

[Eddie]

Or you could even just do double stuff and in, like, regular Oreos. Although they nerfed the double stuff. I feel like those have become really. I. I think so.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. It.

[Danny]

Yeah, you guys said that, like, this is.

[Kate]

You know what the best double stuff is?

[Hank]

Oh.

[Danny]

[Brandon Walker]

Then they couldn't have got dirt anywhere else?

[Danny]

I don't think so. Yeah, but they put it in a bottle that said from. From the World Series, so if they got it somewhere else, I feel like they would have put somewhere else on there.

Brandon.

[Brandon Walker]

You guys have been texting.

[Ian Cobble]

[Eddie]

Nice.

[Danny]

Yeah, we got out of the car with him. We did the standups with him.

[Stephen]

We did the.

[Danny]

The interviews with him. We signed the poster.

[Big Cat]

Brandon is his favorite person on planet Earth. It's incredible.

[Eddie]

Wait, Guy Fieri's favorite person?

[Big Cat]

Like, he's a riot.

[Eddie]

Did he see what he said about Eddie last night?

[Danny]

Oh, okay. I feel terrible about that. Why don't you ruin this? This is a good segment.

[Ian Cobble]

What'd you say.

[Brandon Walker]

This yesterday? Brandon said it was the three. You had three of the best moments in your life yesterday.

[Danny]

So you have four kids?

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Danny]

No, I. No, I said it was a top three moment in my life.

[Stephen]

Yes.

[Danny]

You four kids. Yesterday, I had a wild. A wild day of on the Yak. I said the weirdest line that's ever been said on the Yak.

[Eddie]

Kill the puppy.

[Danny]

Then we went down to Guy Fieri, and I had a great day, and I got along with him and everything. Me and Titus, we killed it. We killed it.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Danny]

And then we came back. I lose a dozen. I yell at the nicest person in the entire company. The second it came out of my mouth, I'm like, you fucking asshole. I took Jeff to the side and said, I don't know if I can do these live events. I just. I hate who I am.

[Ian Cobble]

I can't.

[Kate]

That.

[Danny]

What an. What an. Move that was.

[Ian Cobble]

What'd you say to him.

[Danny]

I accused him of cheating. Which is fine. That that happens every time. And I was like, yeah, shut up you fat. And I was like. And. And I was like, wow. I said it. And I was like God damn it.

[Brandon Walker]

And I said that is almost a default.

[Danny]

I spent the whole night just apologizing. I think he's. We're cool.

[Eddie]

But Danny, I. I don't know.

[Danny]

Anyway, we went to coffee.

[Ian Cobble]

Eddie.

[Eddie]

I don't accept his apology.

[Ian Cobble]

Not at all. Yeah, not at all.

[Hank]

Not to Eddie. Bro, you can't say that to any.

[Kate]

No, it's an angel.

[Danny]

This is a two hour show.

[Big Cat]

Anybody but Eddie.

[Danny]

This is a two hour show.

[Eddie]

Guy Fieri talk. Guys, we were stay on track.

[Danny]

Yesterday was a loss and a loss and you're. You're just trying also.

[Kate]

What are you, a toothpick? You think you're all fat.

[Danny]

Of course I'm fat. We're all fat.

[Ian Cobble]

Did you apologize to him in person or call him Danny? Brandon, the. Do you think I did?

[Danny]

I just told you what I did. I spent the entire time apologizing.

[Ian Cobble]

I think you should call him again.

[Brandon Walker]

Can I guess. Can I guess how you apologized?

[Danny]

I texted him.

[Brandon Walker]

Did you offer to buy him something?

[Kate]

Yep.

[Ian Cobble]

Don't bribe him.

[Danny]

I'm gonna buy him a nice bear gift. I already know where I'm going tomorrow. I'm gonna buy him a nice bears gift. We. Call me. We had dinner with him. We had dinner with him and. And. And after the show. So it was. It was all good. I just.

[Brandon Walker]

Feeder. Can you give.

[Eddie]

Oh, you want to eat with him?

[Ian Cobble]

I know what Eddie will like.

[Danny]

No, I felt it was just such.

[Eddie]

A real piece of work Brandon does. I will say he. It was a. The live shows, you lose your mind.

[Danny]

I do and I can't. It's so irresponsible.

[Brandon Walker]

I don't think your fat are targeted though. I think you would call anybody a fat.

[Danny]

You're right.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

That's almost your default.

[Danny]

I mean I did. I. I don't know. I. I gotta. I gotta fix. I gotta fix that aspect.

[Kyle]

I think the profuse apologizing is the right move.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Cuz if someone called me fat, the more they apologize, the fatter I'.

[Big Cat]

Gotta apologize for apologizing.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah.

[Danny]

So we went down to San Jose and we get there and it's just Guy Fieri and the Camaro's out there and he's doing the whole thing and we thought. I took a picture of him by the Camaro. I'm like, oh my God, we're behind the scenes of this. And then they. They mic us up, and we. We get to get in his van with him and ride. Ride from set to set. And it was. It was. It was.

[Big Cat]

And if that was it, I would have been happy.

[Stephen]

I would have.

[Big Cat]

I was over the moon. It was not it. We did the whole damn episode with it.

[Brandon Walker]

Was it a restaurant that you would like?

[Danny]

I can't really even talk about the restaurant at all. That's the one thing I can't say. But it was an interesting place, and they had a kind of an angle with us where Guy brought us, and we experienced things we wouldn't experience, or I at least experienced things I wouldn't experience before. So.

[Ian Cobble]

Kindness, double stuff.

[Danny]

It was fucking amazing. An amazing, amazing.

[Kyle]

What an iconic show that just is so universal.

[Eddie]

It's also one of those shows, like, I'm just happy it's still happening.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I can't say that I consume it a ton anymore. It's kind of like bar rescue, where it's like. But I. I need it to just keep going.

[Danny]

It's always there.

[Big Cat]

It's a show with zero haters.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

You might not love it, but you can't possibly.

[Stephen]

Right.

[Brandon Walker]

His Persona is so perfectly crafted that you forget he's insanely wealthy.

[Stephen]

Oh.

[Kyle]

Oh, yeah.

[Big Cat]

We did not forget. We. Yeah, we. He invited us to his ranch, and then he had to specify which one, and he said the small ranch. It's only 45 acres.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Is the thing that sucks about that is it's not that close to the house, so he's, like, talking to his wife. You get the helicopter doing it. I'm like, God damn, guy.

[Brandon Walker]

Wait, he invited you to his ranch?

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Yeah. We've really got along.

[Ian Cobble]

Oh, yeah.

[Big Cat]

He loves us.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

He actually loves us.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

We were leaving. We were just like, thanks, man. Pre. Can't say thank you enough. We had to get back for the dozen, so we're kind of in a hurry. He's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, guys. You get. You got to get my number.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Puts his number in her phone. And then I don't know what to do with it, though. Brandon's already been texting with him.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I don't know how to break the seal. I don't know what my first text to him will be.

[Hank]

Group chat, maybe.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, do a group chat. All three of us text him the.

[Eddie]

Eddie clip and be like, this is who I really am.

[Danny]

You can't let me have one goddamn thing. One goddamn thing. All right. I left my bag. I Left my bag there, which had my passport in it. So it was very important that I get it back.

[Eddie]

No.

[Ian Cobble]

And I go back to camp.

[Danny]

So I left my bag and they brought it to my hotel last night. I picked it up this morning. I noticed it was really heavy. Guy had taken every fruit or vegetable. Every fruit or vegetable in the entire kitchen. Just stuffed it in my pocket. I had avocados, I had eggplants. I had all these things.

[Big Cat]

What else was in there?

[Danny]

See, he had some funny stuff in there. He had some funny stuff in there.

[Eddie]

Like what?

[Danny]

They stuff a bag of flour down in my bag so that I would get caught by security.

[Big Cat]

Oh, that's good.

[Eddie]

I like that. Classic prank.

[Ian Cobble]

Titus.

[Brandon Walker]

I heard you puked coolly.

[Big Cat]

Was it cool?

[Danny]

That's what Brandon told me, Mark. It was the coolest puke I've ever seen.

[Brandon Walker]

Brandon was like, even he pukes cool.

[Danny]

I didn't know we were gonna talk about on the show.

[Big Cat]

I saw the. Which one did you see?

[Danny]

You were in the front seat, I was in the back seat. Right.

[Hank]

And.

[Danny]

And you were. We knew you were car sick. You were leaning over and. And then you finally got out. And when you got out, I noticed you. You'd puked in a bottle.

[Ian Cobble]

Uh huh.

[Hank]

Bottle.

[Danny]

And nobody noticed. Nobody had noticed you appeared.

[Big Cat]

So I get violently carsick and I try not to make a thing. Like when you're about to puke, your car's moving. Like, yeah, it's decision time. So I had, I had a bottle of water and I dumped it out. And then I just kind of like, just like over here and I just. Yeah, yeah. And then we were stuck in traffic and I. I held on as long as I could. It was like an hour and a half with traffic coming back from San Jose. And we were in the like Tenderloin district or whatever where all the homeless and. Which is close enough to the hotel. Like, I pulled up Google Maps. I like, I was. I was on the brink where I was like, I can't. I don't know if I can stay in this car any longer. And it was like a mile walk. And I was like, fuck it, I'll just walk back to the hotel. And I got out and as soon as I got out, I had to puke again. And I just walked straight up to this little like patch of whatever that looked pukeable. And I just started puke. And I was like, this is so embarrassing that I'm doing. And then I looked up and I fit right in.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, everybody else was.

[Big Cat]

I fit Right in. I was like, oh, this is.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

No one better than I. Yeah, yeah. You thought I was cool puking.

[Danny]

No, I didn't.

[Eddie]

No, you said it was discreet. Sounds like a cool.

[Danny]

It was like. It's like nobody saw it, nobody knew it. And it just like. It was just like if I have to puke and I'm car sick, it. It's going to dominate the entire car. Yeah, it's going to. It's going to be like you. I'm going to be a great big.

[Brandon Walker]

You weren't even making such a.

[Danny]

You make a sound. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I don't know.

[Hank]

How tight is the top of the water?

[Big Cat]

Did you have to fit his dick in it? I'll say that. Like, it is kind of. I had to.

[Eddie]

I'm the opposite puker. I just like, make the loudest as possible people hear. I did it in a car when we. After flag football and I was like, pat, you gotta pull over. And I just opened the door.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Was it car sick or.

[Eddie]

No, I think it was concussed. Remember when we got the.

[Hank]

After the plane.

[Brandon Walker]

The flight?

[Eddie]

Yeah. When we got. We had like the worst turbulence ever and I puked on the flight. And then we were driving back to Brooklyn and I was like, uber driver, you have to pull over.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Unlike the highway scream puking.

[Hank]

You had your hands on your knees.

[Ian Cobble]

So loud.

[Eddie]

I love puking.

[Danny]

No, you don't.

[Eddie]

Yes, I do. Yes, I do. When I do it, it feels good.

[Brandon Walker]

The lead up to puking just isn't worth it. You feel so, so good.

[Big Cat]

It feels so good. It has 100 hit rate.

[Eddie]

It really?

[Big Cat]

Every time I puke, I'm like, I. That feels so good.

[Eddie]

I should do that more.

[Big Cat]

I don't necessarily think that, but I.

[Eddie]

Am like, let's do this again soon.

[Big Cat]

Oh, that feels so good to be. Have the poison out.

[Eddie]

Out. Yeah.

[Hank]

Better an empty house than an unwelcome guest.

[Ian Cobble]

You know, poor Eddie's probably puking a lot today.

[Eddie]

Yeah, he thought you were his friend.

[Danny]

I am his friend.

[Hank]

You thought you could do that in front of Danny?

[Ian Cobble]

I hate to see your enemy.

[Danny]

Danny wasn't there.

[Ian Cobble]

He deleted Lucky. I watched Tweet.

[Eddie]

Where the hell did Lucy's.

[Danny]

I threw them.

[Hank]

Where?

[Stephen]

Oh.

[Eddie]

Oh, because you're mad.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

Did anyone have that sandwich? I heard it was like an hour away.

[Eddie]

I think Tom's picking up some for after the act.

[Hank]

What?

[Kate]

I wanted one. Look at that yesterday. This is like my.

[Hank]

Since Robbie Fox's sandwich is the best sandwich to hit the market.

[Eddie]

Some guy hit Me up and was like, I. My girlfriend works at like, the greatest croissant place ever. So we got croissants over there too. Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Some of the quote tweets this week from San Francisco locals have been hilarious. Some of them hate us.

[Ian Cobble]

Some of them really hate us.

[Eddie]

Like, it becomes. It became like a trial on San Francisco.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah. Cuz of Malasak.

[Eddie]

But then the weird part is people like just being like, san Francisco is beautiful. And then everyone been like, yeah, it took you this long to realize it's like we're just saying it's beautiful.

[Brandon Walker]

Mal got a genuine change of heart and everybody's like you even more.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I was happy.

[Brandon Walker]

He got somebody quote sweeted Eddie sandwich and somebody quotes we it like somebody punched this guy.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Good guy.

[Ian Cobble]

Was it, Brandon?

[Eddie]

That's good. That's good. That's the good stuff right there.

[Danny]

You like that one, Brandon? No, I didn't.

[Stephen]

All right.

[Brandon Walker]

Just asking. That's the most banged up I've ever seen you, Brandon.

[Danny]

Yeah, it was. It was. It was. I did not feel good. I did not feel good about that. Anyway, it's over.

[Hank]

Did you have a talk with like the. With your family afterwards or anything? With the. With your wife?

[Danny]

My wife now has an annual talk with me after the live show where I. I wonder about the future of our. Where I. Where I say, I might have just blew it. I might have. Last year I did one too.

[Eddie]

Yeah?

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah. That was worse.

[Danny]

Last year. Last year I did one where. Where I was the whole night. I was just. I was just wrecked about it. And then this year, I did that to Eddie. I don't know if I can do the live show. I don't think I have the temperament to keep it inside.

[Hank]

I think it's the thing you love the most. You knelt. I hate the crowd like you were Jesus Christ.

[Danny]

The walkout.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Danny]

But once it gets going and I get. I start losing and I turn into the big biggest in the world.

[Hank]

Sore loser.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

With your wife.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Danny]

She was thrilled about it.

[Kyle]

Yeah. And she was just talking about how good of a man you are.

[Danny]

Oh, it was really nice.

[Eddie]

Before or after.

[Danny]

To get to the dozen?

[Ian Cobble]

You let him take a wayo with your wife.

[Eddie]

She's never.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Eating the waymo with your wife.

[Danny]

Kyle can take a whmo with my wife.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Anybody here is going to take a wh. With my wife, it's going to be Kyle.

[Kyle]

I'll let her sit shotgun.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

With me.

[Eddie]

Kyle just pulled up to the dozen. He's got Brandon's wife on his.

[Stephen]

On his lap.

[Eddie]

Oh, man.

[Kate]

Did you see the next level? Who's that? Have been going around?

[Kyle]

No, show me.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, the little box ones. Yes.

[Kate]

I sent TJ a picture of them. I want. This is what I wanted to ride in. I feel weird about the Waymo's, but I felt like I would be very comfortable in whatever. It's like a cube. It's like a. Yeah, like a little character.

[Kyle]

Like a tour. It's like a. Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

So I guess Waymo has an office in the Philippines where if they get stuck, a man in the Philippines just controls it for a little bit with like a joy. Probably a child with a joystick.

[Kate]

Yeah. Look at that thing.

[Ian Cobble]

The hell is that?

[Eddie]

It is nice being able to like, because our security team is the best. And Jose was driving around with me last night and he.

[Kate]

He.

[Eddie]

He just goes as fast as he wants to. But he. We were talking about it like, you can cut off any wayo. They'll always let you in because they have to.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, it's. Yeah, that is nice.

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

It's like they have no road rage, right?

[Hank]

Yeah, you just dummy them.

[Eddie]

There's nothing. They have to stop every time.

[Hank]

Are you allowed to sit in the driver's seat?

[Kyle]

In the driver's seat? I don't know about the.

[Brandon Walker]

No, not driver's seat.

[Ian Cobble]

Shotgun.

[Kate]

What happens if you do sit the driver seat? It will move.

[Ian Cobble]

I don't know. We gotta try it out.

[Brandon Walker]

Somebody's gonna ruin them for everybody.

[Ian Cobble]

Is there a Philadelphia? Yeah.

[Kate]

Yeah. They're gonna kill it.

[Eddie]

Like, all right, let's do Pepsi real quick. And then I will reveal my surprise for everyone who's doing the. The Pepsi Zero sugar Taste Challenge today. Do we know? Take the Pepsi Challenge. Thank you, Pepsi, for sponsoring pepsi. Super Bowl 60 spot brings light to a similar phenomenon of discovery and truth. The Pepsi paradox. The idea that when labels and bias disappear, cola drinkers prefer the taste of Pepsi. A phenomenon that blind taste tests have repeatedly proven. In the 2025 revival of the Pepsi Challenge, 66% of participants agreed. Pepsi Zero Sugar tastes better than Coca Cola Zero Sugar. Pepsi wins on taste. Sometimes you have to flip, flip your world upside down to discover what's been right there the entire time. Talk about doing. Nope. Nope. You deserve taste. You deserve Pepsi Zero sugar. Let your taste decide and try and go try it today. Taste superiority. Time for the Pepsi Challenge presented by Pepsi Nick.

[Ian Cobble]

Hey, guys.

[Hank]

Hey.

[Stephen]

That one's pretty good.

[Ian Cobble]

Come on, Nick.

[Danny]

And there's B.

[Ian Cobble]

What's he gonna choose?

[Stephen]

This is huge.

[Hank]

Back and forth.

[Kyle]

Both seem pretty tolerable, boys.

[Brandon Walker]

I like a reveal.

[Eddie]

Uh.

[Stephen]

Oh.

[Eddie]

Show us, B. Show us, baby. Just so we know. Yeah.

[Danny]

Wow.

[Eddie]

There it is.

[Ian Cobble]

Why do you look jealous, sugar?

[Big Cat]

So that's.

[Ian Cobble]

Good job.

[Big Cat]

Clean sweep this week.

[Eddie]

Yep. Clean sweep. Okay, you guys ready for my surprise?

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So I love this Friday Yak super bowl week because it always feels like we're just hanging out, like the end of a bachelor party, just, you know, reminiscing, whatever. And, you know that moment happens where everyone's a little banged up, a little hungover. And, like, what do you do when you're banged up or hungover over? You start drinking again.

[Hank]

Right.

[Eddie]

Oh, so me and Cobble is back.

[Ian Cobble]

It's got to be underneath. It's got to be underneath.

[Kate]

There he is. No way.

[Eddie]

Let's go.

[Ian Cobble]

I gotta decant these wines.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Danny]

Got a decant the wine wines.

[Big Cat]

Oh, my God.

[Ian Cobble]

What a surprise.

[Eddie]

Oh, man.

[Kate]

I'll be honest. It's only gonna take me about one glass of wine to be right back.

[Big Cat]

Where I was gonna be this morning.

[Kate]

This is the problem. Oh, okay.

[Eddie]

Gonna be awesome.

[Ian Cobble]

Oh, I was not expecting.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I was like, a minute after the show ended on whatever day that was Wednesday, I was just like, if he wants to come back, he's the perfect guy to end the week.

[Brandon Walker]

He's the fucking man.

[Eddie]

He really is. He really is.

[Kate]

I like that you have a best friend now in Guy Fieri, and you have a best friend with a master Selma. I feel like you guys really hit it off.

[Ian Cobble]

Tay yesterday.

[Stephen]

I was hoping he was going to come down to the show yesterday, but he had gone back. He lives in Napa, so it's a little bit of a drive away, but, yeah, excited that he can come back today for a nice end to the week. Be nice while he's getting this to Canton. I did want to bring something up yesterday. Danny.

[Eddie]

Danny's right there. He's the mic.

[Stephen]

Taking an Uber with Mikey Bets last night.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Stephen]

He might be the worst Uber passenger.

[Eddie]

What happened?

[Brandon Walker]

I'm starting to get that Mikey Bets is a scumbag.

[Eddie]

That's why I love him. He's the most scumbag we have. And I say that in the most loving way possible, because having a guy like that around is. Is interesting at all times.

[Stephen]

He would just ask. He. He's at front seat. So he goes in the front seat, ask the driver where he's from immediately, and then we'll try like.

[Brandon Walker]

Like, where are you really from?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Stephen]

Yes.

[Danny]

Oh. To. To form his opinion on the man.

[Stephen]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Like, the guy answers, like, C.T. and you're like, no, but come on, dude.

[Ian Cobble]

That exact same thing happened with White Sox dav.

[Eddie]

You know what I mean?

[Stephen]

But the second driver was from Pakistan. And then Mikey Betts was like, oh, so what do you think of halal sauce? I was like, I've never had halal sauce. And Mikey Betts. This just threw the entire car ride for a loop. Because then he just started bringing up pictures of halal sauce, gave him recipes for halal sauce. Guy's like, I'm not interested in halal sauce, man. But this was 10 minutes, and it was.

[Brandon Walker]

Bets was showing him photos of halal sauce.

[Stephen]

He was saying that I make the best halal sauce. Here's the recipe. This is what I mean. And the guy's like, I don't understand. We don't have halal sauce where we're from. It was. It was a tough ride.

[Brandon Walker]

I wish Danny had 10 minutes of halal.

[Eddie]

He has a mic. Where is he, Danny? I think he's the stick mic.

[Big Cat]

All right, Danny.

[Danny]

See ya.

[Hank]

Taking a huge dump.

[Eddie]

Oh, Danny, Danny, Danny, Danny.

[Brandon Walker]

They were big and pierced.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Danny]

They were perfect.

[Big Cat]

Both of them.

[Eddie]

Both, dare I say the perfect set.

[Danny]

It's a hell of a way to start a Friday morning, man.

[Kate]

Was it barbells or rings? I didn't see.

[Eddie]

Oh, I have it if you want it.

[Kate]

Kind of, yeah, kind of interested.

[Ian Cobble]

Let's go and put in the group.

[Eddie]

I got you guys.

[Ian Cobble]

Don't listen.

[Eddie]

No problem.

[Danny]

It was definitely barbells, right?

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kate]

I rode back from the bar with him last night, but they're not mine. I just want to clarify.

[Ian Cobble]

I would be so much nicer to you.

[Kate]

I hate you.

[Eddie]

I just sent them.

[Big Cat]

The shirt's, like, pulled down, not pulled up.

[Eddie]

This a perfect picture. Yeah, that was like, Theore treated the Matthew Stafford like his kids. Finding out he won the mvp, he like, this is the best thing you'll see all day.

[Stephen]

I just quote to you.

[Eddie]

I was like, nope, that happened at 7am. Oh, man. I'm going take a piss before we get going.

[Hank]

Kyle, what were those pants you were wearing yesterday? I can't stop thinking about them.

[Kyle]

They were brown jeans.

[Hank]

They look nice. Were they double reinforced knees?

[Kyle]

Yeah, with like the. Is it workman style, maybe?

[Hank]

Workman style. They look so nice.

[Kyle]

Getting a lot of brown. And I noticed people are wearing a lot of brown, like brown on brown. And I'm like, I'll join. Yeah.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Workwear looks good on you.

[Kyle]

Thank you. Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Looks legitimate.

[Kyle]

Okay.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Brown jeans.

[Kyle]

It looks good on you too.

[Brandon Walker]

I think I'm too lanky for work wear.

[Kyle]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

I try my pants. Situation's a mess. Kyle, I need help. I. I wear joggers or jean or blue jeans. Brown. Brown jeans would be the next item.

[Kyle]

All I wear is brown.

[Hank]

Like a Viet Cong.

[Big Cat]

So focused lust.

[Ian Cobble]

Kyle, my man, I'm looking at you right now.

[Kate]

Oh, God, thank you so much.

[Ian Cobble]

Oh, wow.

[Danny]

Blue.

[Stephen]

Thank you.

[Kyle]

A brown and olive green.

[Hank]

Those are the best colors. Earth tones. True earth tones.

[Big Cat]

Let's do this one.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, boy.

[Stephen]

No, you can't.

[Ian Cobble]

You can't be your hand.

[Danny]

I can do whatever I want. Don't tell me you. You learned this three days ago.

[Stephen]

We all did.

[Hank]

Smells.

[Danny]

So Titus was triangling at dinner last night.

[Brandon Walker]

Was he trying?

[Danny]

Yeah, he was. He was looking for the triangle.

[Big Cat]

He was looking for the triangle. We tried it.

[Brandon Walker]

We tried it to hold our glasses like this at the restaurant.

[Kate]

It was too.

[Brandon Walker]

It was too heavy.

[Danny]

Just didn't feel good.

[Eddie]

My brain is, like, on a delay right now. Imagine if those were Kate's tits and she was keeping them from us. The entire time.

[Kate]

Every day before the act, I tape them down.

[Hank]

Big cat.

[Eddie]

I don't want to tell you how.

[Brandon Walker]

To do your job, but that's fireable.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Kyle]

That would be in insane. Tom Hanks was dead.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Come on in. Was Bruce Willis.

[Kate]

Oh.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Big Cat]

All right.

[Ian Cobble]

Here he is.

[Big Cat]

I thought it was like a castaway, a circle back to cast Away was that.

[Kyle]

It would have been a good, like, circle back.

[Eddie]

Bruce Willis would have nailed Willis.

[Big Cat]

I'm so excited.

[Hank]

All right.

[Eddie]

Ian Cobble's back. So, Ian, it's been so long. It was so much fun on Wednesday, I was saying. I immediately texted Josh, our booker. I was like, if Ian is down to come back, we have to finish the week with him because you are the all star of the act this week.

[Ian Cobble]

I'm in. I'm coming to Chicago, too.

[Eddie]

Yes. Definitely.

[Ian Cobble]

Love it.

[Eddie]

I'm a little disappointed you went no vest. It feels like maybe you took that vest comment by me.

[Ian Cobble]

You know, I thought about it. I just wanted to show some diversity.

[Eddie]

Okay, that's cool. That's cool. I kind of want to just cut your sleeves off.

[Ian Cobble]

I really like this jacket, though. I would let you, but, you know, maybe not today.

[Brandon Walker]

How was hanging out with the boys after the show?

[Ian Cobble]

You know, the tonga room?

[Eddie]

This is my favorite picture.

[Ian Cobble]

I got tongaed up.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah. Those Mai tais are a little stronger than I thought.

[Kyle]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

I love seeing that.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah. My wife was like, where'd you go that night? I was like, my phone died. Woke up, she's like, I'm not very happy, but.

[Danny]

Look at her face.

[Kate]

Oh, hi.

[Stephen]

Oh, hey.

[Eddie]

How are you?

[Ian Cobble]

She drove me to town.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Hank]

What were you talking with Mikey Betts about? On your left, here we go. Over here. Adam Forone, Barcelona Sports. What were you talking to Mikey Betts about at the bar? It seemed like he was glowingly looking at you as you sipped that long straw.

[Ian Cobble]

I don't really remember much of that.

[Kyle]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

It's probably for the better.

[Ian Cobble]

It was a long day, and I don't remember the long straw or the short straw.

[Hank]

That's great.

[Stephen]

I think that was right after you got there. And Mikey had just gotten the Scorpion bowl, and he was looking for people to part. He was viewing it as a group activity.

[Ian Cobble]

How did you grow your hair out so fast?

[Stephen]

It's crazy. Vitamins these days.

[Eddie]

Give us a little doubt.

[Brandon Walker]

Fire.

[Ian Cobble]

Hello.

[Danny]

That's.

[Eddie]

That's seinfeld.

[Stephen]

No, that's Mrs. Doubt.

[Ian Cobble]

That was definitely Ms. Pie.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Stephen]

So that's the look just for today.

[Ian Cobble]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Eddie]

All right, so what. What do we got? It's Che. Get us. Let's go.

[Ian Cobble]

Well, you guys are all. You guys are on the spot today.

[Hank]

No.

[Ian Cobble]

So, you know you've had this wine before? Not this particular wine, but this is from its appellation, the best vineyard for this particular wine in the world. And if you miss it.

[Eddie]

Oh, I love this wine. Yeah, this is hitting this. What did you say?

[Danny]

It's like, What?

[Stephen]

It's like a basketball.

[Danny]

No, it doesn't.

[Stephen]

You don't get that?

[Danny]

No.

[Eddie]

Women's or men's? You're not gonna answer it?

[Stephen]

I'm smelling again, so.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

All right.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Hank]

Confirm.

[Stephen]

Yeah, the women's 28.5.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Kate]

Ian, have you been hearing from wine friends, being like, what the hell are you.

[Big Cat]

How was your life, Joe?

[Ian Cobble]

No, but, you know, people were, like, wondering what watch I was wearing. So it's so funny because. Because, like, on my way here, I was like, oh, I didn't wear my watch, but nobody would notice. And my friend posted, like, I want some, like, watch blog about what watch I was wearing.

[Hank]

A big face on that one. I was noticing that watch, but I.

[Ian Cobble]

Was like, no one's gonna notice. And next thing you know, oh, people notice everything.

[Stephen]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

They'll find. They'll pick it out.

[Eddie]

This is really good.

[Stephen]

I like this a lot.

[Ian Cobble]

But by the way, a lot of people are Going to the website. Metal. Sold out.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Stephen]

Fantastic.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, everything's.

[Stephen]

Everything. Fantastic.

[Ian Cobble]

Everybody on the bar stool likes wine, I guess.

[Eddie]

Oh, they're. That's so sick.

[Ian Cobble]

So cool.

[Eddie]

Love it, Jay.

[Ian Cobble]

All right, so what do we smell? So you said you smelled a. A balloon yesterday or two days ago. Now you're smelling.

[Stephen]

This is a different type of taste. I do taste, like, a little bit.

[Eddie]

I.

[Stephen]

One thing I don't understand about white wine is some people say everything. Yeah, a lot of stuff. But when people say buttery, I don't understand how that works with grapes, but.

[Ian Cobble]

So it's malacca.

[Hank]

How does basketball work with this?

[Ian Cobble]

Buttery weights makes so much more sense.

[Kyle]

That's a flavor.

[Ian Cobble]

A balloon works with grapes, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

An old couch. What was that yesterday? Synthetic couch. That was on your tasting note.

[Danny]

Vaseline.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah.

[Stephen]

This tastes to me a little bit like a sprinkler.

[Ian Cobble]

Almost like water.

[Danny]

Okay. I thought swimming pools, hose water.

[Eddie]

Like.

[Stephen]

What do you mean?

[Ian Cobble]

Like a sprinkler that hasn't been used for like a.

[Stephen]

No, no, it's a rusty. Wait, are you.

[Eddie]

Are you saying the water out of the sprinkler. The actual. If you. If you, like, put your mouth to the sprinkler.

[Stephen]

Sprinkler, Mouth to the sprinkler.

[Ian Cobble]

So you're drinking out of the sprinkler?

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

No, no, he's not drinking out of the sprinkler. He's just kissing the sprinkler.

[Ian Cobble]

Sprinkler's turned off, not attached to a hose. Listen, I can. I can try to pretend that I understand what that is.

[Stephen]

I feel like I might know what kind of wine this is.

[Ian Cobble]

I think you do.

[Stephen]

Is it Sauvignon Blanc?

[Danny]

Yes.

[Ian Cobble]

And where is Sauvignon Blanc? Most importantly, grown up.

[Stephen]

Own.

[Hank]

You know this.

[Danny]

He told you this.

[Eddie]

Hack and Saack, N.J. break down the word.

[Hank]

Chad.

[Kate]

Yes.

[Ian Cobble]

S. Jersey shores. Good job solved. Sa Blanc comes from Sancer. So the Loire Valley.

[Stephen]

Yes.

[Ian Cobble]

So it's an old. We talked about this when I. When I kind of was on. I wasn't on the show, but.

[Stephen]

So it's France, right?

[Ian Cobble]

It's France. Lar Valley. Sancer. It's an old seaboard shed, basically compressed limestone. You know, you can put it on your floors in your house. Is expensive. Or you can plant Sauvignon Blanc in it. And it's really good.

[Eddie]

This is a really good wine.

[Stephen]

I like this.

[Eddie]

How much was this one?

[Ian Cobble]

This is 100 bucks.

[Eddie]

Yeah, this might be. This might be my wine.

[Hank]

It is.

[Eddie]

What's there yeah, what's it, what's the actual, like, bottle?

[Ian Cobble]

Let's go ahead and can we bring this bottle out?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I want to, I want to take care of it because.

[Hank]

Bring it all in.

[Stephen]

Mercedes.

[Hank]

No, no, know.

[Stephen]

Welcome.

[Kate]

Hello. Hello, welcome.

[Eddie]

Dude, you're so rich that your wife's name is Mercedes?

[Ian Cobble]

That's pretty funny. That's pretty good. So you guys want to zoom in on this?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I'm going take a picture.

[Ian Cobble]

Pascal Cot La Mont. Damn name which means like the damned hill. If you, you know, if you went on to the cobblest, you could find this actual product. And there's some photos in there. It's a 45% slope. Really hard to work. Work. You definitely wouldn't want that job of working the vineyards. But yes, definitely one of the best wines in the world. Objectively. If you go to any restaurant, any top restaurant in the world, they're going to have this, you know, selection likely over 300 bucks. Like on a good restaurant list in New York, for example, what's the average.

[Hank]

Markup of Provo wine? On your left again, What's the average markup on like a wine from how much it costs in the store to how much they're selling it for in a restaurant?

[Ian Cobble]

Like a $20 wine for an actual store, they'll sell it for 30. So you typically mark up 1.5 times. So a 20 wine will turn to 30. A restaurant will usually be about a three time markup. So a 20 bottle cost for the restaurant will turn into about 60. If you're a really nice place that it's hard to get a table, they'll sometimes do five time markup. So 20 bottle wine, good business. 100.

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Oh, so the expensive. I thought that meant the wine was better.

[Brandon Walker]

So did I.

[Ian Cobble]

But it just means, well, depends on how much they're. They're stepping on it.

[Stephen]

Right.

[Ian Cobble]

So some, some places charge $30 for a pizza. It costs them three bucks. Some people charge 15.

[Hank]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Have you been to, have you ever been to Le Ben in New York? Okay.

[Ian Cobble]

It's incredible.

[Eddie]

What was the, what was the. I have the bread record there. No big deal.

[Ian Cobble]

The what record?

[Eddie]

Bread record.

[Ian Cobble]

What? Eating most bread?

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah. Two times actually.

[Ian Cobble]

So how much did you have? Did you weigh?

[Eddie]

I think I had like, like 23 rolls.

[Brandon Walker]

That was disgusting.

[Hank]

I have a video of it somewhere.

[Ian Cobble]

And the butter was nice.

[Eddie]

Yeah. No, I was, I just asked the wager. Like, has anyone broken this record? And like, what? And I was like, I'm going to, but they had a bottle of wine.

[Stephen]

What was was a red wine. It was the most expensive bottle they had was like $2,000.

[Eddie]

And then the. And then the waitress was like, you won't like it. And I was like, well, now I'm getting it.

[Ian Cobble]

Do you know what it was?

[Stephen]

No, no idea. It was very good though.

[Ian Cobble]

It was it red?

[Danny]

It was.

[Eddie]

No, I hated it.

[Big Cat]

You hated it?

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So she was right. But I couldn't let her big dog me like that.

[Brandon Walker]

You got the last laugh.

[Stephen]

Paying them $2,000.

[Eddie]

Yeah. So that bottle of wine, if it's $2,000, it's like a $400 bottle of wine.

[Ian Cobble]

Depends. For really high end wines, they might have spent 6 or 700 and just marked up 3 times. Depends. You know, if you buy a $10,000 bottle of wine, they might mark it up to 20,000. Cuz it's better to make 10,000 in.

[Eddie]

Profit than what's the most expensive bottle.

[Ian Cobble]

Of wine that I've ever had.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Thank you, Stephen.

[Ian Cobble]

Like something from like it's probably 40, 000 a bottle for Magnum, you know? Yeah. Henri Jaya Crow parent two out of Magnum, we had like a bunch of old bottles, like super rare.

[Eddie]

And what's the oldest bottle?

[Ian Cobble]

So this is red Burgundy, Pinot Noir. So for. But there was one corked bottle and it was like 34, 000. It just was like a bad bottle.

[Eddie]

What's the oldest bottle of wine you've had?

[Ian Cobble]

1834.

[Danny]

Whoa.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah. 1834 Madeira.

[Eddie]

It was a good.

[Ian Cobble]

Incredible. These are fortified wines that spent two years around the world right on these boats because they thought that the angels of the ocean blessed them. It turned out that it was just the warm and cold of the day and night that created this complexity. So Madeira is one of the great wines of the world. Paired with chocolate.

[Eddie]

They went all the way around the.

[Ian Cobble]

World two times because they thought the angels of the ocean were blessing the wines.

[Eddie]

But it turns out it was just a refrigerator.

[Ian Cobble]

Now they're doing it. Now they're doing it artificially in attics and things in Madeira. So Madeira is one of the great, great wines of the world. To definitely. To drink.

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Ian Cobble]

Chocolate, cheese and things like that.

[Big Cat]

Does your food palette match your, your wine palette? Like, do you have an elevate? Do you feel like you have to elevate?

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, well, yeah, food and. Yeah, food's definitely. Yeah, that's part of life, you know? Yeah, yeah. So I. We travel. Me and my wife get to travel. Our daughter's been to what, 24 countries or something like that.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I guess. It's hard to eat.

[Stephen]

Daughter.

[Big Cat]

Really good wine. Yeah, she's living.

[Danny]

Her.

[Ian Cobble]

She's living a good, shitty restaurant, know. You know, we'll have salmon, and she'll be like, where's the Ponzu, papa? When she was 5. And I'd be like, we ran out. She's like, what kind of father are you? I was like, this is gonna be. You know, where's the Pellegrino? I was like, we're out of sparkling water. You know, it's one of those. But, you know, she's respectful. She's. She's a great person. She's eight now, so she loves Barolo. She could probably out taste Shea here.

[Stephen]

Yeah, for sure.

[Big Cat]

Napa has awesome restaurants, right?

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, legit.

[Big Cat]

Like, the wine gets all the play. But, like, the best strawberries I ever.

[Hank]

Had were in Napa. Incredible strawberries.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah. Well, you said that very passionately. A good strawberry can be very good.

[Hank]

It changed my life. It's like a top two strawberry.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah. You have strawberries in February in some store. Right. Versus, like, going to a farmer's market, and you taste the strawberry. That's like what drinking great wine is like. Also, you think you know what good red wine is, and then you have something monumental that changes everything. Should we. Should we try next week?

[Kate]

Fine.

[Ian Cobble]

I don't think we have too much time. I have three more bottles if we wanted. All right, we're gonna dump this out unless you want to drink it.

[Big Cat]

Question.

[Stephen]

I'm not a big sauvignon, Blanca, but.

[Ian Cobble]

Question, Rando.

[Hank]

What is the. What's the biggest bottle of wine? I used to think it was a Magnum, and then I saw a picture of something called a Nebuchadnezzar bottle. Is that the biggest bottle, the Nebuchadnezzar?

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah. There's something bigger that's 27 liters. I believe there's something called the premax that. So, yeah, Nebuchadnezzar. And then Primat is like something like 40 liters.

[Hank]

40 liters?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Hank]

Who's that? Is that just for show that, you.

[Ian Cobble]

Know, like, if you're having, like, you know, if you're like a czar in Russia, you know, and you have like a wedding, you'll just get one of these bad boys, and it's a huge one. Yeah. And. Yeah, it'll serve, what, how many bottles? Probably. What is that? Something close to 100 bottles of wine.

[Hank]

Does that. Does that change the quality?

[Ian Cobble]

It ages slower. So the larger the bottle, you know, you have the Same amount of wine with the larger amount of wine with the same amount of oxygen. So it kind of slows it down. And it ages. Yeah, it ages. You know where a half bottle will mature in about 15 years for good Bordeaux, a regular bottle May age in 25 years. And if you have like a Nebuchadnezzar big bottle, it'll taste 10 or 15 years younger. So if you're blind tasting out of a 3 liter versus a 375 milliliter, the. The 375 milliliter will age more like a child actor than a.

[Eddie]

Wait, what's a Nebuchadnezzar?

[Ian Cobble]

Nebuchadnezzar is a big bottle. That's it.

[Eddie]

How many words do you know?

[Hank]

How many street signs?

[Ian Cobble]

That's funny.

[Eddie]

You know, a shitload of words, dude.

[Danny]

That's.

[Ian Cobble]

My life has been just kind of traveling and learning, learning words and, you know, I'm.

[Eddie]

I'm going the other direction.

[Ian Cobble]

Learning.

[Eddie]

Learning. Take words away every day.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

Learning how to. How to live the best life. You know, it's like travel and figure out what you like, what you don't, and what you can recommend to people. And that's kind of.

[Kyle]

Have you noticed, Is there a difference? Is there a, like a variety or variance in inebriation effects from different wines?

[Ian Cobble]

The higher the alcohol, the faster it happens. But yeah, I don't really.

[Big Cat]

You're asking, like, do some wines affect.

[Kyle]

You, like, mentally, physically, differently?

[Ian Cobble]

No, but like, green chartreuse is. Is amazing. So green chartreuse, they use wormwood. These monks in the hills of, of the Savoie in France, they basically do nothing but make wine and meditate and pray not. They don't make wine. It's a sweet liqueur actually, called Green Chartreuse. One of the most famous in the world.

[Kate]

World.

[Ian Cobble]

We drink a lot of it. And that will make you conversational. So you said wormwood.

[Brandon Walker]

Is that what they use for absinthe as well?

[Ian Cobble]

Exactly.

[Stephen]

Okay. Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

And there's like a hundred different wild herbs they collect and they macerate it. And they make this green chartreuse. It's usually about 80 bucks a bottle now. Okay. And you're local, there's a really good cocktail called the Last Word. So if you're going to a bar, like a nice bar in New York, and you're not sure what to drink.

[Eddie]

Last Word.

[Ian Cobble]

Order the Last Word and have that after dinner and you'll get pretty chatty and stay up till four in the morning.

[Brandon Walker]

Interesting.

[Ian Cobble]

And be like, what happened last Night. In a good way, though.

[Stephen]

What do you deal with dessert wines? So some are only for that. Like, you wouldn't.

[Ian Cobble]

Depends on when you drink them. So, like most dessert wine, like Sauternes, probably the most famous one in the world. Chateau d' y Chem is definitely the most famous. Really good, sweet wine from Germany. Like Rieslings, Auslase, Buren, Ausliese, Trachenburg, Auslase icewater wine. Depending on when they pick it, you have these very sweet, like, delicious, like the most delicious apricot jam you've ever had, but with acidity and like, thirst quenching. And you just. You have that with the red desserts and.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

You want to hug strangers.

[Eddie]

I think I'm just. I think I'm just addicted to listening to you say words.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Hank]

Drinking a wine while you do it. It's like watching a good show.

[Kate]

I feel like I'm like.

[Eddie]

None of it is like actually registering, but I could just listen to.

[Big Cat]

I'm getting lost in the swirl.

[Brandon Walker]

I'm having fun.

[Big Cat]

Swirling. I'm just sitting here watching it swirl.

[Brandon Walker]

I've been. You're locked the in on swirl swirling.

[Big Cat]

Dude.

[Ian Cobble]

I'm looking around. You guys are all. Got the. The nice hold. No, that was okay, though. You only did it like that. That was kind of cool. That was good. Remember, you're like, you know, holding by the stem. Remember this one was like more of the douches, you know, hold that I was kind of doing on accident.

[Kyle]

So I'm like a standard straight bar ordering a wine. How do I hold it?

[Ian Cobble]

How often do I look at it? You know, look at it, you know, just naturally, you know, don't make it awkward.

[Stephen]

Straight bars.

[Ian Cobble]

A run of the mill straight bars. She serves you the glass. When she serves you the glass, don't stop looking at it for at least like, two minutes.

[Kyle]

Don't, like, keep looking at it.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, yeah, no, you like it for at least three or four minutes.

[Brandon Walker]

Just stare at her.

[Stephen]

Really?

[Kyle]

Yeah, the swirl. Not too much often. Right?

[Ian Cobble]

So yeah, swirl towards the heart, you know, like this.

[Big Cat]

Towards the heart.

[Ian Cobble]

Or if you're in your right hand, you could just almost like pretend like there's a quarter end of the glass with like a little dot and you're like going around this.

[Eddie]

All right, Stephen, what do you got on this one?

[Ian Cobble]

I'm hoping you guys all recognize this.

[Kyle]

This is my favorite one by the.

[Brandon Walker]

What is this?

[Kyle]

What is this? By by name.

[Hank]

Give him a chance. Let step get. See if Stephen can figure out.

[Eddie]

Sorry, he's still on the sniffing.

[Hank]

I'M sorry.

[Stephen]

I like to. I like to get the sniffing to see if it's going to match the. The taste.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Stephen]

This one is like a. I feel like this is almost like a similar water vessel.

[Ian Cobble]

What smell like water vessel is.

[Stephen]

Is. I don't want to use this as a cop out, but like a lot of the things I smell. Basketball, like rubber.

[Eddie]

A cop out, dude, you might be having a stroke.

[Ian Cobble]

I think he was better with like a half an olfactory bulb. You know, like, you know, like 50 of everything.

[Brandon Walker]

Just smells like basketball.

[Eddie]

Burning almonds.

[Big Cat]

Smell the alcohol, right?

[Stephen]

No, I.

[Big Cat]

You can't smell past the alcohol. Is that why everything's rubber and gas? I don't know.

[Stephen]

I don't know if it smells like rubber.

[Eddie]

Oh, I like this.

[Ian Cobble]

There's a little bit of a petrolina. So go ahead and taste it. Is there sugar? Is it dry? Is there oak? Think about this. Pretty tasty.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I think I'm a white wine guy. Good.

[Hank]

Doesn't stain your teeth.

[Stephen]

This one I like a lot better.

[Ian Cobble]

What do you taste?

[Eddie]

What do you taste?

[Stephen]

I taste green apple. Good.

[Kyle]

Yeah, he's right.

[Brandon Walker]

Okay.

[Stephen]

This one also. And I got clowned for this, but like this one does taste wet. So I feel like the tannin level or the grip is lower.

[Ian Cobble]

It tastes wet. I'm still trying to comprehend what that means.

[Stephen]

When I think, I think it means like. Yeah. Like low tannins and a little bit more acidity.

[Ian Cobble]

Okay.

[Stephen]

I feel like I don't.

[Ian Cobble]

High acidity. Okay, that's correct. A little bit of residual sugar.

[Stephen]

I don't really taste the.

[Eddie]

Oh, you're on with Guy Fieri.

[Stephen]

The oak. So I think maybe this is steel.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah. Old barrel.

[Eddie]

This is old.

[Ian Cobble]

Large, like 1200 year old barrels. Sorry, 1200 liter barrels, not 1200 years.

[Stephen]

This was. How do you say it? Mixed distilled in. In a. In a wood.

[Ian Cobble]

It was likely fermented in large, large old barrels.

[Stephen]

Okay.

[Ian Cobble]

Very large old barrels.

[Eddie]

All right, so what do you got for taste?

[Stephen]

Green apple, a little bit of honey or lemon and Swedish fish.

[Ian Cobble]

Am I wrong?

[Danny]

Swedish fish?

[Eddie]

Yeah, Swedish fish.

[Ian Cobble]

What is you talking about? Like that pickled. What is it called?

[Eddie]

No, he's talking about candy.

[Danny]

You get in the candy probably have never had. You don't know what it is.

[Ian Cobble]

Okay, I don't know that many words. What is it actually called?

[Eddie]

It's a candy.

[Danny]

It's like gummy bears.

[Eddie]

The little red fish.

[Danny]

Like similar to gummy bears, right? In. In the sense that they're gummy.

[Stephen]

Yeah, they're Kind of like gushers without the juice in the middle.

[Ian Cobble]

Okay, so how do you know about these?

[Danny]

Everybody knows about these.

[Hank]

They're in America.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

They're an American candy. I thought he was talking about, like, proper, like, Swedish fish.

[Stephen]

Swedish fish, Yes.

[Ian Cobble]

I go. I go to Sweden like, once a year. I have a wine brand there, and I was like, swedish fish.

[Eddie]

That's a very. Yeah. Easy miscommunication. We're talking about the candy that cost a dollar.

[Hank]

The movie theater.

[Ian Cobble]

I'm clearly. I'm clearly learning about the world, so I'm so happy to be here.

[Eddie]

Oh, man.

[Ian Cobble]

I'm expanding my culinary, you know, vocabulary.

[Big Cat]

Hey, that's your most straightforward review yet.

[Ian Cobble]

I think I can't wait to use it as a tasting.

[Brandon Walker]

All edible things.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

All right. So what is this?

[Brandon Walker]

I think it was pretty accurate. Steve, too. I get it.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

So remember, it has this petrol y smell, a little bit of sweetness. Right. So if that's sugar, it can be one of a few things. Right. Riesling or Chenin Blanc?

[Stephen]

I think it might be a Riesling.

[Ian Cobble]

Okay, so from where?

[Stephen]

I think this is an American Riesling.

[Ian Cobble]

Okay.

[Stephen]

California, maybe be.

[Ian Cobble]

So the. I would probably never bring it. American Riesling, but doesn't mean it's bad. There's some good stuff in New York. You have three choices. You have Austria, Germany, and Alsace. The best sweet ones come from Germany. So this is Mosel Riesling again. I brought an 89 yesterday. This is a 1990.

[Big Cat]

Wow.

[Brandon Walker]

These German wines have been.

[Ian Cobble]

Bring the bottle. So I brought it. I brought it because, remember, I talked about, like, you would if. If you'd never heard a song before, you wouldn't be able to remember it if I played it for you. So this is a. Same vineyard, next vintage. Was hoping you guys would recognize it. This is also 60 bucks. Yeah. Really? Yeah. I brought in 300 bottles from this old seller and the Mosul, like crazy. Like, this wine should be three times the price, but pretty tasty.

[Hank]

Delicious.

[Brandon Walker]

It's delicious.

[Ian Cobble]

You like beef curry? Those like, you know, or like Larry, Stuff like that. Amazing. With Thai food, Vietnamese food.

[Hank]

Why did German wines go so well with food from the Orient or, like, Indian food? Even like a Gewurtztraminer with some Rogan. Josh, I find is a nice pairing.

[Ian Cobble]

That's actually, like, absolutely true. That's pretty funny. Totally.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Ian Cobble]

That's one of my favorite dishes. I love Lamborghini as well. But, you know, normal Northern Rhone Syrah is really good with Indian food. Gewurt shamir is very good. Something about it's very delicate. It's very pure, and it doesn't have, like, a lot of oak intensity. So these are very, like, the residual sugar plays off a little bit of the spice, especially with Thai food. So you have Thai food that's acidity and it has sweetness. And you never want a wine that's drier than the actual food. So a lot of sugar in Thai food and acidity works well with the residual sugar. So if you have a dry wine, wine with sweet food, which you don't think of Thai food as sweet food, but there's actually a little bit of sugar in there. It makes the wine taste tart. So you want the wine you're pairing with the dish to be at least as sweet as the food. That's why you can't have dry wine with dessert. It all tastes like.

[Danny]

Who's dropping their mic?

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Whose mic is Robin?

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, it's probably mine.

[Eddie]

No, you can do no wrong.

[Danny]

By the way, Stefan was about to.

[Eddie]

On the yak group chat. Zah hasn't said anything all week. He hearted the titties.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Ian, are you on Instagram at all?

[Stephen]

Okay.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

Ian Cobble. Why?

[Stephen]

What?

[Ian Cobble]

What's it?

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, I just had to have woken up a little early to see it this morning.

[Hank]

One of our co workers put some breasts on the Internet.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Hank]

Inadvertently.

[Ian Cobble]

Accidentally posted a set. Accidentally. Yeah.

[Danny]

Well, we suspect that.

[Stephen]

Intentional.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, fine by me.

[Big Cat]

Just another day at the Steel.

[Ian Cobble]

I saw a post of you dancing at the Tonga Bar the other night.

[Eddie]

Night.

[Ian Cobble]

That was pretty entertaining. That's. Why was that after I saw you? Yeah.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Hank]

And then again last night. They went back last night.

[Ian Cobble]

That place is pretty fun.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

You would never expect it to be in the bottom of a hotel like that.

[Brandon Walker]

Very nice.

[Kate]

Way down there. Yeah, it's funny. Of all the amazing places we could have gone in San Francisco, we just went to the Tonkar.

[Brandon Walker]

Twice.

[Kate]

Twice.

[Ian Cobble]

I mean, it's. It's a fun place.

[Kate]

Yeah. Creatures, a habit.

[Eddie]

All right, before we do the.

[Ian Cobble]

We got some reds, by the way.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Before we bring out the reds, let's do our last ad. Pizza Huts. Who's going out there? Tj?

[Ian Cobble]

Anyone who didn't do it, who hasn't.

[Eddie]

Done it, you could do it. I don't want to go out there.

[Kate]

I haven't done it. But nobody would know. Who the hell.

[Brandon Walker]

Hey.

[Eddie]

Get out there. No. Oh, look at Connor Griffin.

[Kyle]

What is this?

[Danny]

Get out there.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Hank]

Chug that line and get out there.

[Eddie]

Go out there.

[Kate]

This lady's crushing it. Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

What's going on?

[Danny]

Oh, she's.

[Ian Cobble]

She's.

[Danny]

She's.

[Hank]

Let her do it.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Oh. All right.

[Eddie]

Danny's gonna go out there. Football's better with the big New Yorker from Pizza Hut. Big enough to feed your whole crew for the biggest game. Massive. With slices so big you have to fold them. Don't forget to pizza before the Hut and order the big New Yorker for just $10 for a limited time. The big New Yorker.

[Danny]

So are people just walking down the sidewalk and he's pulling them over to do that?

[Eddie]

I think so. This is awesome.

[Kate]

There's a pretty good crowd out there.

[Eddie]

I'm looking at.

[Ian Cobble]

They're just doing photos.

[Eddie]

What's going on? He's doing snapshots counts with people.

[Stephen]

Ah, for football.

[Ian Cobble]

Is that Hogdale, Dominican.

[Big Cat]

It's okay if you say. If you say zero, but what. What sports do you consume?

[Ian Cobble]

You know, I was a tennis player in college.

[Danny]

Yeah, of course.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah. I watched quite a bit of football. I grew up watching a lot of hockey. I played a lot. I saw. What else? I mean, football, you know, usually when it gets to more of, like, the. The, you know, January. Start watching it.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

But I was a huge Joe Montana fan. 49ers rookie card. Yeah. Big time. But you know what else? I mean, golf. I watched a little bit of golf. I wish I could play better, but it's slightly embarrassing.

[Eddie]

Here comes Hogdale.

[Ian Cobble]

Oh, hell, yes.

[Kate]

All right. He was dancing again at the Tonga Room last night.

[Eddie]

All right, let's see him go.

[Stephen]

Sweet. Ian, I'm glad you're into cards and vintage stuff because Big Cat recently purchased a bunch of 1985 Fleer basketball cards. Okay. They come with the gum.

[Ian Cobble]

Are you going to try it?

[Stephen]

He has.

[Eddie]

Well, we ate the card as well. We actually. We could talk about that later.

[Stephen]

Off cards, you can eat the goddamn.

[Ian Cobble]

Maybe you could use that as a tasting note on, like, an old red.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Oh, it's like Michael Jordan.

[Ian Cobble]

I like the. It tastes like the paint on an old 1985.

[Kate]

Maybe you could help us pair our next yak cards with, you know, next.

[Ian Cobble]

Time I find a wine, it's like an old book coming. Ascending.

[Eddie]

All right, here goes. Danny. A little louder. A little louder for Danny.

[Ian Cobble]

Oh, damn.

[Eddie]

You got it, Pizza Hut. Thank you, guys. Man, that jacket is awesome. Yeah. Coach is the man. All right, let's do some reds. Yes.

[Ian Cobble]

Should we do it?

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Kate]

This is ground getting chatty again.

[Big Cat]

I love this.

[Stephen]

I like the note that you should never have wine that's sweeter than your.

[Ian Cobble]

No, drier than you want it to be. At least as sweet as your food.

[Hank]

Okay. Yeah. Thank you.

[Ian Cobble]

So, like, you had a New Zealand Sa Blanc with a, like.

[Big Cat]

Thank you.

[Ian Cobble]

That lime pie, right?

[Stephen]

Oh, yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

Key lime pie.

[Stephen]

It would.

[Ian Cobble]

It would be disastrous. It would taste like. Tastes like battery acid.

[Big Cat]

Got a triangle.

[Ian Cobble]

Pour a little bit on my shelf. It's first world problems. I mean, let's be honest. If you have bad food and wine pairing. First World problems, Right?

[Brandon Walker]

Yes, you're right.

[Stephen]

But then didn't you say that the Sauvignon Blanc has, like, some, like, limestone and, like, limey type flavor?

[Ian Cobble]

So with that a little bit. Yeah. Lime and sometimes passion fruit and kiwi. A little bit of honey. Depends on the producer, sir, in the vintage.

[Brandon Walker]

Thank you.

[Stephen]

Okay.

[Kate]

Say you find a shipwreck and the bottles of wine in it are from, like, 1200. I don't know when they started making wine. Are you going to get food poisoning or. No, it'll still be good.

[Ian Cobble]

It's going to be epic. Yeah. So they had a bunch of old wine that was from a shipwreck off of Sweden that was found, like, seven years ago, and then they auctioned it off, and it was like, all these wines are kept at, like, 44 degrees. Perfect. There's no light. Right. So they've been sitting in. Perfect.

[Eddie]

They were in. Underneath. They were in the water.

[Ian Cobble]

They were in the water in a shipwreck in the sea.

[Stephen]

Seller.

[Eddie]

Holy.

[Ian Cobble]

And they pulled them out. Yeah, you can look this up. And. Yeah, they auction them off. And they all went for, like, thousands of bottles, like, old Vuv Clicot vintage. Really good vintages.

[Kate]

But it, like, never goes bad.

[Eddie]

And they were just like. They were in the ocean with all the Swedish fish.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, it's, like, surrounded by Swedish crazy.

[Ian Cobble]

That's exactly right.

[Danny]

The Swedish fish.

[Eddie]

That's a good one.

[Ian Cobble]

All right, here we go.

[Eddie]

Yeah, let's go.

[Big Cat]

Check.

[Ian Cobble]

So this is one of the classic red wines of the world. World.

[Brandon Walker]

Does this one have an orange meniscus?

[Ian Cobble]

This does not. It's a little younger. So if you tilt it away from yourself. Right, Tilted away from yourself, you see that slight pink on the meniscus? So that usually means the wine's under three to four years of age.

[Brandon Walker]

Okay.

[Kate]

It's pretty colorful. Look at the legs on this one, boys.

[Ian Cobble]

Golly. What do the. What do the legs tell you?

[Kate]

Do you remember how much alcohol is in the wine and.

[Danny]

Yes.

[Kate]

Whether it's red or white.

[Ian Cobble]

Yes.

[Danny]

Yes.

[Ian Cobble]

Or residual sugar.

[Kate]

Residual sugars. I was just about to say that.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, you guys are. You guys are learning. The Rogan Joe converts for me to reference.

[Hank]

I'm glad. I'm glad you liked it.

[Danny]

He's our most refined boy.

[Kate]

Yes.

[Hank]

I'm a huge for you.

[Kate]

He knows things.

[Ian Cobble]

There's really good Indian food in the.

[Stephen]

City, by the way.

[Hank]

Is there?

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Hank]

There's a lot of multicultural food. Titus kept on getting sushi. It made me jealous. So I got some ramen yesterday.

[Big Cat]

I might get sushi again today.

[Ian Cobble]

Dude, that's a great call. I'm a huge sushi fan. Sushi and Riesling, for the record. Dry Riesling.

[Brandon Walker]

Dry Riesling.

[Ian Cobble]

So dry Riesling from Germany. So if you're at the store, look for like 20 to $30, you know, dry Riesling.

[Stephen]

At a more recent year then I like.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, Yeah. I would get younger.

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

21, 22, 23 right now. But you want to look for a word that says trucken. T, R, O, C, K, E, N. Which means dry. That's less than 9 grams per liter.

[Big Cat]

They said trucking.

[Ian Cobble]

Trucking.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah. That's how you can remember it. Trucking. Yeah. I need some trucking reason.

[Stephen]

All right.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Brando. How you feel?

[Danny]

I'm enjoying this a lot.

[Big Cat]

Why don't you drink wine more often?

[Danny]

I drink wine all the time.

[Big Cat]

You do?

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

So by the way, I brought you guys two cases of wine and I'm. You know my method cab that you guys liked. Yes, I brought. I brought two cases. Just amazing.

[Hank]

Thank you.

[Ian Cobble]

So you guys will have plenty to drink all weekend.

[Brandon Walker]

Thank you.

[Stephen]

Yes.

[Kyle]

Still our angel. You switch hands.

[Ian Cobble]

Dude, I'll. Yeah, dude, I'll.

[Kyle]

Yeah, you can switch hands. Super Jones.

[Stephen]

How many times a week you do wine at home?

[Danny]

I don't. I. Three.

[Stephen]

Three times.

[Danny]

That's a lot.

[Eddie]

Wine drinker.

[Danny]

I usually make one trip a week to the. To the store and get three or four bottles.

[Big Cat]

You kept that from us.

[Danny]

Well, it's just. It's not. I don't drink it to. I'm not. I don't feel like I'm drinking. It's just a nice thing to have a dinner.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Just one. One. And then going about your day.

[Eddie]

I mean, you don't feel like you're drinking it?

[Danny]

Well, I don't know. I don't mean. I. I don't go home and drink. I just have another glass of wine with dinner.

[Big Cat]

Every time I see you around some wine, it looks like you haven't done.

[Brandon Walker]

It in a long.

[Big Cat]

You haven't drank wine in a long time. You're like, oh, I forgot how good.

[Danny]

I do attack wine when I. Yeah, yeah. Well, it's not often you get one of the great wine guys in the world to bring you wine.

[Ian Cobble]

Cheers.

[Danny]

A hell of a day.

[Brandon Walker]

Twice this week.

[Stephen]

So you're exclusively sweet tea and wine, and that's it.

[Danny]

I'll do some water.

[Brandon Walker]

Do you do water?

[Ian Cobble]

You struggle with that.

[Danny]

What do y' all mean? I, I. I know what I drink. I do sweet tea and wine. Yeah, it's pretty much exclusive.

[Eddie]

All right, Stephen, what do you got here?

[Stephen]

My first thought was post office.

[Danny]

Okay, Post office.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Danny]

The outside of the building or just the smell that you get inside of the post office?

[Eddie]

Post office. Okay.

[Brandon Walker]

A little bit of, like, the.

[Stephen]

The stampy.

[Brandon Walker]

Like the adhesive.

[Stephen]

Anybody else?

[Kate]

I actually kind of. I don't get it, but I get how you could think that if that makes.

[Danny]

I got Fertilizer.

[Stephen]

Fertilizer.

[Eddie]

Timothy McAle Fertilizer.

[Hank]

Poop.

[Danny]

Go into, like, a Lowe's, and you go back to the section where the.

[Eddie]

I. I got to say, as much as we make fun of Steven for all this stuff, every time I do it, I just. I got wine.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

That's all I smell.

[Brandon Walker]

Wine, wine.

[Kyle]

Same.

[Danny]

Sauerkraut.

[Ian Cobble]

There's a cool kit called Linz Duvon. N E Z. Space. Du. Space. Vin. I could get you guys one scent, and it's like, each. There's like, 49 or 54 classic aromas. You could give him one, and there's, like, mushroom, and it's like they're all numbered. So you can actually test them. Yeah. And. And actually develop, you know, his. His aromas is learned.

[Kate]

That's in the documentary. You guys would go to the grocery store and just sniff stuff. Like, I feel like that was part of it.

[Ian Cobble]

The documentary, right.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Kate]

You guys were just going around sniffing, you know. Are you still friends with those guys?

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, totally.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

We're all buddies.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

But, yeah, one of my friends didn't pass the master soulmate exam, and supposed loser.

[Eddie]

What a fool.

[Ian Cobble]

He's a master now, but he. He passed all the parts. And they basically said, you know, on the side, if you would have said, like, nectarine versus, you know, you probably maybe got the extra point.

[Danny]

Oh, wow.

[Ian Cobble]

So I shouldn't even be telling a story about that. So he goes to the store. He's depressed. Right. Because it's a 3% pass rate, and, you know, he failed after three times. They take away all your parts. You have to start from Scratch like chutes and ladders. And so he went to the store at Whole Foods in Hollywood where he lived, and he went to buy some nectarines because clearly he needed to tell the difference. And they rang him up as peaches. And it was the guy.

[Stephen]

What a slap in the face.

[Ian Cobble]

But it was the guy who was like the produce guy that came in. Oh, I don't want you to wait.

[Brandon Walker]

Come over here.

[Ian Cobble]

I'll check you out. Was the produce guy and he says, no, these are peaches, not nectarines. He's like, who can tell the difference?

[Eddie]

Foiled by a nectarine.

[Ian Cobble]

But he passed. He passed last year. He's really talented guy. But it's a, it's a funny story. It's slightly sad. It's like, because peaches and nectarines.

[Brandon Walker]

Come on.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Would not know the difference.

[Kyle]

I grew up on nectarines.

[Ian Cobble]

Are we going to blind taste you on Sunday and see if you can tell different.

[Hank]

And he won't look at a peach.

[Kate]

No.

[Hank]

Hates peaches.

[Kyle]

I don't like the fuzz of a peach. Nectarines offer a more smooth finish or sh.

[Ian Cobble]

Getting some details here. I'm learning.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

Now people ask the difference. I'm like, yeah, there's a little, little peach fuzz. There's no peach fuzz on the nectarine.

[Stephen]

Clearly.

[Eddie]

I, I, I have a friend who was raised by nectarines.

[Danny]

Yes.

[Eddie]

My father was.

[Ian Cobble]

Mom and dad weren't around much. So are you guys all Chicago guys or.

[Eddie]

We all live in Chicago now. Yeah.

[Danny]

Or from all over.

[Ian Cobble]

Cool.

[Eddie]

Out on the course, they're the PGA Tour's best players, but in the arena, they're prime time. And season two of TGL, presented by SoFi, is back with lights, cameras, action. We're talking big moments, big personalities, big names in the stands all on the big screen. Big time matchups with shot clocks.

[Ian Cobble]

Hammer Jackson drops timeouts, overtime and playoffs.

[Eddie]

It's city versus city, squad versus squad. The sport just hits different under the light. It's TGL, presented by SoFi.

[Brandon Walker]

Keep up.

[Eddie]

It's golf. Tune in to every match only on espn.

[Kyle]

How lucky are we to wake up in the morning wanting to get out of bed as opposed to needing to? I think that's the greatest leisure in life.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah. Do you hear anything? You're asking me how that's a good thing to be looking forward to your luxury?

[Kyle]

Luxury? It is to.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

You guys all act as a collective force that jolts me out of bed because I'm so eager to start my day because I know it will be filled with Unpredictable.

[Ian Cobble]

It's kind of exciting.

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

Kind of feel the same way coming in here.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

Woke up more excited about life today. No, I was coming here.

[Eddie]

That was really nice, Kyle, the first.

[Brandon Walker]

Time you admitted that you liked us.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Borderline love.

[Ian Cobble]

That was emotional.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

What do you got?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Go back to you bears. What did you say?

[Ian Cobble]

What he say were the antithesis of his nightmares.

[Brandon Walker]

Very poetic today.

[Kyle]

This is my day job. And I'm beyond.

[Eddie]

It's crazy.

[Kyle]

Beyond crazy.

[Brandon Walker]

You with the throat. Like, you've been choosing your words so carefully now, and it's been beautiful.

[Eddie]

The hit rate, like if you go to the compu box afterwards, it's like he threw 10 punches and all. All of them.

[Hank]

They landed everyone.

[Kyle]

So gone is the unway.

[Hank]

Sorry, what?

[Kyle]

The unway.

[Big Cat]

Gone is the un.

[Kyle]

The listlessness I've used to feel.

[Ian Cobble]

I just. Can I get a translation?

[Eddie]

Yeah, no, we're.

[Kate]

We're.

[Eddie]

We're in the same spot as you right now. You're not missing anything, but it was heartfelt.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

No, this is. This is serious.

[Kyle]

On way. Is it? It's E, N, N, U, I.

[Eddie]

And what does that mean?

[Hank]

I didn't know that's how you pronounce that word.

[Big Cat]

I thought you said nodway or.

[Kyle]

I've been wanting to use it.

[Kate]

You nailed it.

[Ian Cobble]

What's it mean?

[Hank]

Feeling of listlessness, dissatisfaction. So your list.

[Big Cat]

On way.

[Eddie]

All right, Stephen, what do we got on this one?

[Stephen]

I think this, and I haven't had one like this. I feel like this is an earthy red wine to me. It tastes like a carrot, but not when you bite a carrot. Like the outside of a carrot.

[Eddie]

So like a root vegetable licking a carrot.

[Danny]

The outside of a carrot, as opposed.

[Ian Cobble]

To the outside and inside are pretty similar.

[Stephen]

If you taste it, then, like, you're tasting, like, all, like, chewed up carrot, but, like, the outsole, like, just that. The hint of car carrot, but, like, there's something there. Do you guys not get that?

[Eddie]

No, I'm not really following the ground outside.

[Hank]

The carrot.

[Stephen]

Yeah, like, kind of like a dirty carrot. You pull it from the ground.

[Danny]

It's like an unwashed carrot.

[Stephen]

Yeah, perfect.

[Eddie]

Pulling carrots out of the ground.

[Ian Cobble]

How many carrots are you pulling out.

[Eddie]

Of the ground in Chicago?

[Danny]

Yeah. And Elmer Fudd comes and puts a shotgun in your face.

[Stephen]

I mean, you get carrots on the street. You gotta wash them off. But there's an unwashed carrot.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, street carrots. Dirty street carrots.

[Hank]

You get carrots on this street.

[Stephen]

What do you guys taste?

[Danny]

And I don't know.

[Kate]

Am I wrong to say coffee? You can say, yes, I'm wrong.

[Ian Cobble]

You know, I don't quite get coffee. Again.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Eddie]

That the nicest way to say you're an ignorant.

[Danny]

Hey, you haven't tried that many times this week. But every time you try, you just failed.

[Kate]

No, I'm aware.

[Eddie]

Thanks again. I'm sitting here and every single thing I taste is just, why, But, Kate.

[Brandon Walker]

If those were your titties, we'd be like, yes, coffee.

[Eddie]

Coffee. Oh, my God, yes. Nailed it.

[Kate]

Damn.

[Ian Cobble]

So I'm tasting a little bit of this kind of raspberry, wild raspberry, almost a little jammy quality, very elegant.

[Hank]

Red currant.

[Ian Cobble]

Delicious. You know, you want some sort of like braised meat with this cassoulet comes to mind. This, like, slow braised bean dish from France. Really good. Cook it at home.

[Stephen]

But is this a Chianti?

[Ian Cobble]

This is not.

[Eddie]

Okay, this is.

[Ian Cobble]

I'll just tell you. It's Grenache from the southern Rhone valley of France called Chateau Neuf du Pap.

[Kate]

I like that.

[Ian Cobble]

New home of the Pope. There's two popes for like.

[Eddie]

No, that's Chicago.

[Big Cat]

Chicago's home.

[Danny]

This is from Chicago.

[Ian Cobble]

Holy Southern Run Valley, France. Basically outside of Avignon, really beautiful area, area. Old vine, Grenache, Sarab, Mavedre pretty much are the typical grapes. There's 13 grapes allowed by law. And yeah, beautiful place.

[Eddie]

I will say, like, drinking nicer wine is. Is a smoother drunk. You know, like, you feel like you're not. Like when you drink not great wine, you're like, oh, this is a headache.

[Hank]

Comes through your pores.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, this one's awesome.

[Eddie]

Kind of a chill.

[Big Cat]

This feels like I'm outside drinking.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, delicious.

[Big Cat]

Feels like a wine I would drink in the summer on.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, like outside. Outside of Levi's stadium in the park.

[Big Cat]

That's exactly right.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, you have this with like, burger. You have it with, like, barbecue. Really, really good barbecue wine.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

So this isn't that expensive. It's like 45 retail. But super good quality Old vines.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

We talk about pairing wine with foods a lot. Is there any symbiotic relationship between wine and music or the arts?

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, I think so. I think, you know, know beautiful music, high tone music, like, you know, classical music pairs really well with the world's classics. If you're drinking something more intense, you know, like Zinfandel from California, some people say more rock and roll, but, you know, I'm not exactly curating music with food and wine pairings these days, but.

[Big Cat]

Some people do what about wine and weather? As I was drinking that, I was like, this is. I'm outside, the sun is hitting my face.

[Danny]

Yes.

[Big Cat]

I don't know why I feel that way, but that's how I feel that way. Do you. Do you do that with wine?

[Ian Cobble]

For sure. I mean, in the summertime, I'm drinking more like unoaked lighter whites, like from Austria, Gruner, Velner, dried Riesling, stuff like that. As the weather kind of cools down, I'm wanting more, like wintry reds, like, deeper, more tannic, more savory wines, you know, darker, deeper, more, more. Just savory wines, like the Rhone valley reds, you know, cold winter night, you know, you're all bundled up, you know, slow stew cookies for three hours, you know, over some mashed potatoes, and you've got this, like, deep, savory red. Versus hanging out on the pool. Hanging out.

[Big Cat]

Oh, gosh.

[Ian Cobble]

Versus hanging out on the pool toy, you know, like a ros or something.

[Big Cat]

You know, you got a guest room.

[Ian Cobble]

That's a good tasting.

[Hank]

Hey, your wrench.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah. You guys all welcome.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

Come to Napa in the summer. We have some fun parties.

[Danny]

We'll.

[Ian Cobble]

We'll do a little, you know, we'll. We'll shoot a episode of my live show.

[Brandon Walker]

What's a.

[Kate]

What's like a wine people rager? Like, things get weird. Do the cigs come out? Do, like, like, people singing at the end of the night, flipping tables?

[Ian Cobble]

Not the cigs, but okay.

[Hank]

Cigars, the weed.

[Kate]

Oh, cigar.

[Danny]

Oh.

[Eddie]

Man of taste.

[Big Cat]

Man of taste.

[Ian Cobble]

Not confirmed nor denied.

[Big Cat]

Doobies.

[Ian Cobble]

Not necessarily some skunk. Just something rolled up. That's all I'm saying. All right. Hello, Sage.

[Eddie]

Just having like a. A thousand doll bottle of wine and then just, like, massive bong rip.

[Ian Cobble]

Getting a GB after a thousand bottles. That's pretty funny.

[Hank]

It makes it amazing.

[Stephen]

So I have a question about, like, going out to eat and having. And like, having a nice dinner, like, date.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Stephen]

What is the appropriate amount to drink? Because, like, for beer drinkers, like, you know, we have guys that can drink like 10, 15 beers, and it's like, not a problem.

[Eddie]

That's not an appropriate amount. But I'm saying, like, what is the appropriate.

[Stephen]

What is the appropriate amount for, like, a couple on a date? If you're going out, you're not trying to get, like, hammered, but it's like you want to have a nice little buzz.

[Ian Cobble]

I would say, like, like start with a cocktail each and then share a bottle of wine.

[Eddie]

That's. That's a Good combo right there.

[Ian Cobble]

And that means, you know, you're at a nice 0.079.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's perfect. There you go.

[Hank]

Where you don't know if it's a dui.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Hank]

Go either way.

[Ian Cobble]

Zyx wvu. But you get one of these breathalyzers called Backtrack. You know, it's good. You just. It's 100 bucks. And you. You know, if you're done with dinner, you blow, and, you know you're under.

[Eddie]

Wait a little bit longer. If not.

[Ian Cobble]

If not, you get an Uber.

[Stephen]

Uber.

[Ian Cobble]

And get your car in the morning.

[Stephen]

There we go.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Are the cops in Napa and Sonoma, like, very busy?

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Because I feel like. Yeah, that's a lot of people doing.

[Ian Cobble]

People are, like, drinking, you know, at the wineries. You don't realize, you know, there's a spit bucket for a reason. You're not supposed to just drink everything, but if you do, maybe you shouldn't drive.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

Because a lot of these wines are 15 alcohol. So they'll get you three times the. The concentration of a. Of a beer on draft, for example.

[Stephen]

Example.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Hank]

There's that movie. There's that movie that's about a guy who fakes the funk as a sommelier. Do you know what I'm talking about?

[Ian Cobble]

Thanks. The funk.

[Hank]

He fakes the funk. Like, he pretends to be a sommelier, but he's. He's like a fraudster.

[Brandon Walker]

Who'S dead.

[Eddie]

Sixth sense.

[Ian Cobble]

You're talking about Rudy Karnier, one that he was faking all the wines with.

[Hank]

Yes. Yes.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah. He's actually really talented taster. He was, but he was blending wines together to make them taste like these expensive wines. So he would take, like, a 1981 Right Bank Bordeaux that was next to the $2,000 bottle, and he would add some Napa Cab and then re. Bottle it and then sell it to these collectors he was drinking with. And he made a lot of money. He ended up getting busted.

[Kate]

Yet how'd they bust him?

[Ian Cobble]

It's called Sour Grapes.

[Hank]

Sour grapes.

[Ian Cobble]

He got busted because he made a wine that had never been produced. So it was a 19. If I remember correctly, the first year that Domain Ponso made Claude de la Roche old vines was 1934. He made some 1929, and he put it on auction. And Laurent Ponso. It's all in the movie.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Ian Cobble]

Laurent Ponso was like, who put the 1929 up? And then it turned out this guy Rudy, and they started investigating him and found out that he was doing this For a bunch of wine.

[Hank]

Could anybody taste that? He was. Was blending it. Is there anybody whose palette was so refined that they're like, oh, this doesn't taste exactly what like what he says it is?

[Ian Cobble]

So he was really good. He tastes a lot of old wine. So when you taste a lot of old wine, you can try to replicate the classics. And he was trusted by a lot of people. So he would sell these wine in these circles because he always had these great real bottles and then. But he was selling fake wine to afford that. But long story short, he was a. As I understand it, he was a very good wine taster and he was very talented guy. He just used it in nefarious for evil.

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Interesting.

[Ian Cobble]

But some people say his old fakes were really good. Like he made.

[Hank]

Who gives a then?

[Kate]

I know, right?

[Ian Cobble]

So now he's doing dinners in Jakarta that you can actually pay and taste like the real 45 Mouton with the fake one. And you actually blind taste and decide which one you like better.

[Kate]

We gotta get you over Jakarta.

[Stephen]

Are we flying? Where's Jakarta?

[Ian Cobble]

Indonesia maybe. I think that's where lives. I think he's in Indonesia now.

[Kate]

People will make a Long island iced tea and it's like five different liquors mixed together. Are you ever like, let's throw a little shard with a little Riesling, stir it up and see what happens?

[Ian Cobble]

No, you got to throw the. The blue la corn and drink the audios.

[Stephen]

That's the.

[Ian Cobble]

Like I'm broken college. I can buy one drink and have $8. I'm gonna get 12 ounces of liquor for my 8 bucks and not be able to walk out. They like serve it in a pint glass class.

[Kate]

Cuz my baby dad will put red wine with Coca Cola.

[Ian Cobble]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

Or what A.

[Ian Cobble]

Was that the trashiest sentence of all time?

[Kate]

With Pepsi. I meant by the way, me with Pepsi? Yeah, yeah, we'll put. It'll mix soda and wine together.

[Ian Cobble]

Okay. Well you know, a lot of, a lot of Asians will do that. So like I ran some high end restaurants in Vegas.

[Eddie]

God damn.

[Ian Cobble]

So people would come in, in Vegas and they'd buy like a $5,000 bottle and they would ask for Pepsi.

[Kate]

Yes, thank you.

[Ian Cobble]

And yeah, and they would add it and I would be like, okay. You know, really 20. Yeah, they like that little sweetness in there.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Ian Cobble]

Their Bordeaux, it was just a big deal. Like especially in mainland China, a lot of people would put.

[Stephen]

What is that called?

[Kate]

He calls it a calamucho. He's like, I'm Making galamuchos.

[Stephen]

I don't know. Okay.

[Kate]

No, that's not a thing, people.

[Ian Cobble]

You know, sounds like you can do it what you want with it, right?

[Brandon Walker]

Okay. I'd love to have a Calamucho.

[Kate]

Okay. When he lived in Austin, we would go to the 7 11.

[Ian Cobble]

Keep going. Oh, yeah, no, this was Spruce it up. You went to the 7 11.

[Kate]

We would get big icy soda, and then we put wine in it, and then we'd walk around the city having kamuchos, and I thought that was fancy.

[Ian Cobble]

One more wine. I got one more.

[Hank]

G. Let's get. Let's get around a giant.

[Stephen]

You draw.

[Ian Cobble]

Wine is so funny.

[Big Cat]

We really have to do this more. This is the happiest I've been on the show ever.

[Eddie]

I feel amazing.

[Big Cat]

I feel so good.

[Kate]

Can I say something creepy?

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Kate]

I like watching people, like, enjoy things, and it feels good to look at big cat in his.

[Eddie]

Oh, I'm just loving it because I.

[Kate]

Feel like you've had the busiest week of all time. And I keep looking over at you just, like, chilling with a glass of wine. It makes me happy.

[Danny]

Yeah. Little.

[Eddie]

What you guys.

[Ian Cobble]

What have you guys been doing after the show? Staying working. Live streaming and stuff like that?

[Eddie]

Yeah, different shows.

[Stephen]

We did.

[Eddie]

We do a live show down the street. There's a bunch of people here who did. We had a live trivia show last night.

[Ian Cobble]

Cool.

[Eddie]

So these are long weeks.

[Ian Cobble]

And you guys are off. You're off.

[Eddie]

Most of us. I think everyone actually here is leaving tonight.

[Ian Cobble]

Today.

[Eddie]

I'm leaving like, three hours.

[Ian Cobble]

So you guys aren't staying in town for the Super Bowl?

[Danny]

No, we're getting out of here.

[Stephen]

Some people from the company are. If they're Patriots fans, they're staying here.

[Brandon Walker]

But.

[Stephen]

Yeah, nobody here.

[Ian Cobble]

So you just become a Patriots fan so you could.

[Stephen]

No.

[Ian Cobble]

Go.

[Kyle]

No, no.

[Danny]

Rather die.

[Ian Cobble]

You all right? Betray your beloved Dolphins.

[Danny]

Send a sweet with Dave.

[Kate]

Oh, this one smells really good.

[Big Cat]

This is good. This is real funk. Gotta check the triangle.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, yeah, I'm noticing.

[Eddie]

I'm seeing the purple that Stephen was talking about.

[Brandon Walker]

What are you talking about?

[Kyle]

What you talking about, bro?

[Ian Cobble]

The wine.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Wait, I guess I'm seeing it.

[Eddie]

I'm noticing purple.

[Brandon Walker]

Look, I'm seeing the purple as well.

[Ian Cobble]

Tilt it away from yourself. It's more like a deep ruby garnet.

[Eddie]

I got that wrong.

[Ian Cobble]

You got purple wrong. You want to know why?

[Stephen]

It's.

[Ian Cobble]

You're looking at a tie dye shirt. You know, I'm seeing a bunch of.

[Eddie]

Colors right up on the tie dye.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

That's purple.

[Ian Cobble]

My dad is like, he passed a certified Salma exam. And, like, afterwards, he would be, like, looking at his brown coat, he's like, oh, the wine has a very, you know, like, brown. Yeah. I'm like. I'm like, dad, could you just try to use a white background? So. So if you, like, have blue jeans on or you're looking at the color, it's probably going to look more different than if you have a white background, so.

[Brandon Walker]

So your dad passed as well?

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, my dad. Yeah, he's retired. Retired. And. Yeah, he just wanted to become a certified somn, so he did it.

[Eddie]

Wait, did you become a master?

[Ian Cobble]

No, no.

[Eddie]

Dunked on him. Love that.

[Ian Cobble]

No, he's. There's four levels, right, to pass the master exam. There's about five in the world that pass every year. About a 3% pass rate after you spend 10 years of preparation.

[Kyle]

So 10 years just to fail, Stephen.

[Eddie]

Just to get. Just to get a peach and a nectarine mixed.

[Ian Cobble]

No joke. I probably shouldn't have told that story.

[Eddie]

No, it's a good story. The fact that he's. I wouldn't have told that story if he never passed. Yeah, the fact that he passed makes it a good story.

[Ian Cobble]

Well, you know, normally, I don't think. Now the tasting notes are like, I think peach or nectarine would be scored, but I don't know what happened where. Yeah, they're like, hey, you should have said nectarine. He was like, all right, I'm gonna go. Yeah. Go home and think if I want to wake up tomorrow morning.

[Big Cat]

Shay, you sniffed that wine 4,000 times.

[Stephen]

I'm trying.

[Danny]

I'm trying to figure out what it is.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. What are you got?

[Eddie]

Give it to us.

[Stephen]

It's not strong. It smells like a branch. Nothing crazy.

[Hank]

Not strong wood.

[Ian Cobble]

Like, not a whole tree. That's actually Congress. Almost like. Almost like executive. A little tree. Bark, maybe.

[Eddie]

A little tree.

[Danny]

It does smell like a branch.

[Eddie]

That would be ch. Ch. Would say like, this smells like the executive branch.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, that would be. That would be pretty hilarious. The executive brand.

[Big Cat]

This is.

[Eddie]

This is a good one.

[Kyle]

The Department of Homeland Security.

[Eddie]

Oh, all right, I'll take the jacket.

[Danny]

Yeah. Oh, you got jackets?

[Eddie]

Hell, yeah. All right. My watch has ended with.

[Kate]

Oh, it has the lamp on it. It has the Pizza Hut lamp.

[Stephen]

Oh, I have.

[Kate]

Oh, that's cool. I have a Christmas ornament of that reminds me of. Book it.

[Hank]

Right?

[Kate]

The books in the summertime, and I get to go to Pizza Hut. I loved that.

[Stephen]

How do you describe the. What is the taste or feeling my mouth gets when I'm swallowing it. And it does taste kind of like boozy.

[Danny]

That's drinking.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah. I mean, on your palate, you're gonna really feel alcohol in your chest. So if you drink it, you're gonna get a little warmth here. So if it's 15% versus 8%, you're gonna get a lot of warmth. Just like if you took a shot of tequila. And.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

Long story short, you're gonna have acidity. You feel tannin on your lips.

[Stephen]

Right.

[Ian Cobble]

If you chew it for about five or six seconds.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I was mesmerized. I'm sorry. I was mesmerized just watching you.

[Stephen]

Fair play this.

[Ian Cobble]

Fair play.

[Eddie]

I've got enough little buzz. I just keep forgetting he's missed out.

[Big Cat]

I looked over and I just. I was like, I can't stop watching this.

[Hank]

Opening his mouth every time.

[Danny]

You got.

[Eddie]

Cool as he looks. I feel awesome. Where my. Wait, this is my hat. This is Seahawks.

[Brandon Walker]

What's your hat?

[Kate]

This must be a good one.

[Eddie]

Like I saw it like this. Does this not look over here like the end of a Seahawks buddy? I didn't sleep last night. I got drunk last night. Drunk again.

[Big Cat]

We're drunk.

[Eddie]

Drunk again.

[Kyle]

We're drunk again.

[Eddie]

Drunk again.

[Big Cat]

We should do the super bowl more often.

[Eddie]

Yeah, we should.

[Big Cat]

That's really. Should.

[Stephen]

Next year's in la.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Stephen]

Wait, is that not. That's not close to. No. Okay, never mind.

[Big Cat]

Five hour drive.

[Stephen]

Okay.

[Danny]

Since the California.

[Brandon Walker]

They do like Christmas in July. Should we do like super bowl in July?

[Danny]

Sure.

[Big Cat]

Super bowl should be more Super Bowls.

[Kate]

Do Napa and Sonoma look down on Temecula wine country. Are they like. Oh, they're trying their best.

[Eddie]

Temecula has wines.

[Kate]

Yeah, I've done many back in my day.

[Eddie]

The only thing I know about Temecula is the guys who fought.

[Kyle]

The guy who fought.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's it.

[Ian Cobble]

Temecula is not, you know, so the cold water that comes down from Alaska, like really cools the. The temperature of the water till about Santa Barbara. Very cold and it moderates the temperature. That's why the wines are so good up here, because you have very cold nights. Right. Southern California doesn't really have cold nights as much. And so. So it doesn't retain as much acidity. So long story short, Temecula doesn't quite have the great terroir. But I hear there's some decent wines. I haven't really had any.

[Brandon Walker]

I was told Sonoma in the Napa region has 50% of the earth's soil types.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, there's. There's more soil types in Napa and Sonoma than all of France combined. Yeah. So there's like. I think there's something like 30 plus. There might be more than I know, but, yeah, there's a lot.

[Big Cat]

Who figured that shit out out?

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, geologists, like.

[Eddie]

But when.

[Big Cat]

What's the history? Like, people just. How.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah, well, there's a lot of. There's volcanoes.

[Big Cat]

How do you. How do. Yeah, how do you.

[Ian Cobble]

Shallow oceans that used to cover part of it. There was volcanoes that erupted, creating some volcanic. There's, you know, different sort of things that happened, you know, 50, 60 million years ago that all came up through technology.

[Big Cat]

Figure that out and then say, that would be an awesome place to. To. To do wine or do.

[Ian Cobble]

Is it like Robert Mondavi kind of realized that the Napa Valley had this. All this potential. But Even since the 1800s, late 1800s, there was this great potential because it has warm days, cold nights, and very poor soils. So poor soils, meaning there's not a lot of rich, fertile soils. Not good for growing fruit. For example, grapevines want very poor soils, and it makes them gain a lot of complexity. Makes the grapes go deep for food to create more personality. So the worst, the grapes. Sorry, the worst, the soil for growing normal plants is better for grapes, rocky mineral soils, and in particular, dry farming. So it's illegal to farm. It's illegal to irrigate vines in France. Did anybody know that?

[Kate]

No.

[Ian Cobble]

It's illegal to water the grapevines.

[Kate]

So in a drought year, they're just fucked.

[Ian Cobble]

You can ask for approval to water, but it'll basically drive. The roots are looking for water, and they go really deep looking for food and water. So it's kind of like if you give your child $50 a day, they're never going to leave your basement.

[Stephen]

Right.

[Ian Cobble]

Same thing with grapes. If you give them a lot of food, nutrients, a lot of water, the grapes stay like a foot or two to the surface. And they make very simple.

[Hank]

So never tell the roots. Good job.

[Eddie]

Never give the roots a hug.

[Ian Cobble]

So the roots struggle. The grapes that struggle make the most complex wines. So 110-year-old vine will make, like, one bottle per vine. The roots will go down 10 stories. Like. Yeah. And so, like, think about. You have, like, thousands of meters of, like, these small, you know, roots that are going down, like, in all these different areas, and they're all absorbing nutrients for, like, a few hundred grapes.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Ian Cobble]

And that's when you. That's when you have like, the truly great wines. I mean, the wines we're drinking here are really good for 50 bucks. Right? But if you want to, you know, pull out the company credit card, Chicago, and we'll. We'll go out.

[Kate]

This is last question for me. Are Napa and Sonoma like, two rival football teams? Are you like, oh, you're a Napa guy?

[Ian Cobble]

No, I mean, those are the answer for everything.

[Eddie]

I would say Napa is over 20.

[Brandon Walker]

I know.

[Ian Cobble]

Napa is more fancy in general. I would say, like, a lot of wine makers are. You know, average bottle in Napa is hundreds of dollars a bottle versus Sonoma is a little bit less, but Sonoma's great.

[Kate]

Okay, so Napa is Shelbyville, and. And Sonoma is like the Springfield.

[Ian Cobble]

I don't know where.

[Kate]

Okay, that was it for me. Signing up for the week.

[Big Cat]

Around the office.

[Danny]

No.

[Eddie]

Steven, did you give us a taste on this one? We'll finish off. Give us the taste. What's up, Dave? You want some wine?

[Danny]

Have some wine with us.

[Eddie]

What's up? What's wrong?

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Oh, no.

[Eddie]

Are you mad at Roan?

[Hank]

He's staring at Kate. Great mood all week. Have some wine with us.

[Ian Cobble]

Pleasure. I'm good, man.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

Paul Stallone's a good buddy of mine. One of the best wines on Way the World.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they were at my house.

[Danny]

They.

[Eddie]

We had dinner the other day.

[Ian Cobble]

Amazing people. His wife. Yeah. Amazing people. Yeah. So you went to Sebastopol, right? And you went to Sebastopol. Cool town.

[Brandon Walker]

Yep.

[Hank]

Yep.

[Eddie]

Did that. We got little Williams Salem, which was great.

[Ian Cobble]

Legit.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I'm being a W guy.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah.

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Ian Cobble]

Awesome. Me, too.

[Eddie]

All these guys can dribble them. They.

[Big Cat]

They like.

[Ian Cobble]

I mean, yeah, but small vines. I saw, actually, that you liked it, and I was like, ah, Dave's got a good palette.

[Stephen]

Thank you.

[Eddie]

There it is.

[Ian Cobble]

Well, it's legit. Like, small blinds, actually. It's amazing. They're awesome, the people. Yeah, it's right outside Sebastopol in the middle of the hills, like this. Just. It's a total treasure.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Very cool.

[Stephen]

Yeah. Wow.

[Eddie]

All right, Stephen, give us your last thing, and then we're going to end the show.

[Stephen]

What are the balls that you like? The. The pink ones.

[Brandon Walker]

Spaldin.

[Stephen]

Spaldin.

[Ian Cobble]

That's a good ball. Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah.

[Stephen]

I'm kind of getting like that.

[Brandon Walker]

If he doesn't say no to that.

[Stephen]

No. How would you describe it? What's. What is a Spaldian?

[Brandon Walker]

It's like a pink rubber ball.

[Danny]

Little pink rubber.

[Ian Cobble]

Pink rubber ball.

[Stephen]

That's what I'm getting.

[Ian Cobble]

This exactly.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Stephen]

Really?

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah. That's.

[Eddie]

Oh, there we go. Kate, something's up.

[Kate]

I'm going to go kill. Okay, I'll be back later.

[Ian Cobble]

Tried this wine. I was like, pink rubber ball.

[Brandon Walker]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Well, Ian, thank you that you've made this week so fun, but what kind.

[Hank]

Of wine is it?

[Danny]

What?

[Stephen]

What is it?

[Eddie]

Tell us what kind of wine.

[Ian Cobble]

What do you. Well, you have to tell me what it is.

[Stephen]

Oh, is there another kind of Cabernet that's not Cabernet Sauvignon?

[Ian Cobble]

No.

[Stephen]

Oh, Cab Frun.

[Ian Cobble]

Okay, Not a bad guess. This is the ultimate pizza wine. So this is Chianti Classico.

[Hank]

I know.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I don't know that many Kean.

[Stephen]

What's.

[Ian Cobble]

So this is. Honestly, if you're going out to dinner, you're having Italian food. Yeah. 32 bucks. This is absolutely money. One of the best wines, price to quality you'll ever buy.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Love it.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I think this is our best super bowl week. It was the best yak super bowl week we've had.

[Big Cat]

Ian, you carried us like Joey Blaze carrying Purdue's wrestling program.

[Eddie]

Thank you everyone for tuning in all week. We spin the wheel. Tj, shout out all of our behind the scenes people. Lisa, by the way, like this, I think there's in no small part. Oh, the. This is the best yak super bowl week we had because this set is perfect inside with the right microphones.

[Danny]

Beautiful.

[Eddie]

Great job. And Ian, you're the best. You're the best forever. Invitation on.

[Ian Cobble]

I'm supposed to come to Chicago for a wine dinner like in the next six or eight weeks. So you guys. But in the meantime, clear the whole wines. That way I can zoom in and we'll keep you guys blind.

[Stephen]

We'll post the picture after work and the people get all these wines.

[Ian Cobble]

Yeah. The Cobalist. Yeah, my website. So look up the Cobalist. My name is Ian Cobble. C, A, U, B, L, E, I, S, T. And all these wines are in the store and ready to rock. We do a daily offer. Every day about 10am we send an email about a small production wine in the world. Talk about the people, the place, the history and a food wine pairing that you can actually make at your house. So try to help people elevate their life a little bit.

[Eddie]

Awesome.

[Ian Cobble]

Excellent.

[Eddie]

All right, well, thank you, Ian. You're the best. And we'll see everyone on Monday back in Chicago.

[Ian Cobble]

Cheers, guys. Cheers.

[Hank]

Cheers.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Hank]

It's time to talk shop.

[Ian Cobble]

Great week, everybody. See you back in Chicago. Have a good weekend. Go Patriots.

[Eddie]

Sure.

[Danny]

All right.

[Eddie]

Love you guys.

[Danny]

Bye.
