Hey, guys, it's Francis.
Dan
Look, life moves fast.
Brandon
Dating is a tough thing to find
Steven
time for and to be intentional about.
Brandon
At least so I thought until I found the league.
Mincy
I've found that the people I've met
Brandon
on the league are people I really
Dan
have a lot more in common with than the people you typically find when you're just aimlessly swiping and scrolling on other dating apps instead of endless searching. I get a curated batch of profiles each day. There's less noise, less back and forth, less flakiness. These are just people I'd actually want to meet, have a conversation with, have a meal with, spend real time with,
Steven
create that meaningful connection.

Tyler
Whoa.
Brandon
Okay. Hello, everyone.
Dan
Hello.
Brandon
How's everyone doing?
Dan
Great.
Brandon
You feeling good?
Tyler
Yeah.
Titus
This is March, baby.
Brandon
March.
Titus
Nervous when the balls are bouncing, what
Brandon
are you nervous about?
Kate
It's just like, too much. So much going on.
Brandon
There's energy everywhere.
Kate
Yeah, it's a good, good nervous.
Tate
Yeah, it's madness.
Brandon
Last week was very fun. That's baseball. Yug off. My only regret is we didn't have the bagpipes go for longer. That literally is the only thing I thought about. It's like, we should have kept them
Kate
going for, like, 20 more minutes.
Brandon
Yeah, 20 minutes.
Kate
Really good.
Brandon
Gone through the wall.
Dan
They would have.
Brandon
And then. And now we have Dave. That tells you how clued in Dave is to the barstool world.
Dan
Yes.
Brandon
Today he, like, organically was like, I'm gonna license. That's baseball.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
I tried to talk you by the clip, tj.
Dan
I tried to talk him out of it. But he wasn't listening.
Brandon
It was wild. See, I was like, okay, Yeah, I guess guys didn't tell him he was also at a horse racing like convention where they basically go to Vegas and sit in. In inside in a convention center and just never go outside and just bet every single track in America. And it's like. It pretty much is degenerate heaven.
Tate
Yeah.
Brandon
And looks awful, but it looks awesome.
Kate
Look. Seems like it defeats.
Dan
I don't know.
Brandon
Yeah, cool. Horse racing. Like you should be outside watching.
Kate
Yeah.
Dan
Here in the clops of the hoofs. They're in the clop gallop. Gotta hear the clomps close. So you went and saw the Statue of Liberty, huh?
Tate
I sure did. In the. In person.
Dan
Wow.
Tate
Yeah, I had to bring Jackie with just to see what she was up against too.
Dan
Was she jealous? A little bit.
Tate
She mostly had no idea what was going on. But still. But still.
Brandon
How was your St. Patrick's Day with her? It was great.
Tate
A little less chaotic than Chicago, which was nice. They don't really go that hard over there, huh?
Brandon
Really?
Tate
Yeah, I hear it's mostly on the main St. Patrick's actual St. Patrick's Day. I mean, but here it just kind of seemed like. I think. I think I've outgrown that. Having to book a bar a week in advance or sneak through the back door of a bar just to stand around.
Dan
I didn't know you had to book a bar.
Tate
You got either buy. Pretty much someone show up at 7am
Dan
I think booking a bar kind of defeats the purpose of going to a bar. A bar feels like somewhere you're like, hey, buddy, you just want to go to a bar?
Brandon
Well, on St. Patrick's Day, it's like every single bar, even the Mexican bar, is like, hey, we're going to.
Tate
Yeah, the one on Clark never has anyone in it.
Brandon
We're going to just put some green stuff up and call it St. Patrick's Day here. How was Kate? Did you go to the pregame with the. The Deutsch?
Dan
Oh, oh, oh.
Titus
K.B. he was out and about.
Brandon
You went out for St. Patrick's Day?
Tate
Yeah.
Titus
Social butterfly.
Brandon
What were you wearing?
Kate
Green sick ass leather jacket. Rugby green and a green leather jacket.
Brandon
Hell yeah.
Kate
But not the bright green. So I looked more stylish than the.
Brandon
That's so sick.
Kate
The freaks in the break room. Yeah, I. I let Cody take me out.
Dan
Oh, Cody.
Brandon
What?
Kate
I let Cody take me out. He had an in at a bar and for like 10 minutes. It was great. Spacious. Not too many People. We had a pool table. We had a table. And then a field trip of like 40 French people came in, took over touch tunes, started playing like, the French national anthem. Started playing like, le.
Brandon
This is on St. Patrick's Day.
Kate
And then just. They just took over the whole bar, I guess French rugby was playing. And then they were just cheering the whole time. And then I left.
Brandon
What bar was this?
Dan
French rugby.
Brandon
Cody took you out to a French rugby bar?
Kate
No, it was a regular bar, but, like a field trip of French people just showed up in hordes. They get off a bus, like, multi gendered. Like, it was. It had to have been like some type of school trip.
Brandon
That's crazy.
Kate
Extremely annoying.
Tate
Yeah, I like.
Kate
I was trying to play like jacku. And they're just. Every other song is French.
Brandon
French national anthem.
Kate
Yep. And then I got bitched. Oh, I got bitched by a traffic volunteer. Oh, like a middle aged pip squeak. Bitched me like a cross. Cross.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kate
He was like a volunteer traffic director. I started crossing the street and he sprinted at me, pushed me back.
Dan
Pushed you?
Kate
There was an ambulance coming, but there was enough time for us to talk about it before the ambulance got there.
Brandon
But he was giving you, like, the.
Tyler
Whoa, whoa.
Kate
And then I spent the whole day, like, I should have fought him, and I'm like, no, I shouldn't have, but I'm still pissed.
Mincy
And I'm like, was he. Was he, like, mad at you or was he, like, saving your life mad?
Kate
No, his mind out.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
Power.
Brandon
Yeah. That is a position where I said,
Kate
don't touch me, man, and it just. I felt like a dork. Yeah.
Brandon
That is a position that is drunk with power where it's like, all right, dude, you can't actually do anything. Like, you can't arrest me. You can't say. You could just yell at me sternly.
Titus
Exactly.
Kate
And that's kind of enough.
Brandon
It does kind of work. Yeah.
Kate
Destroyed me.
Tate
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah.
Mincy
How do those jobs. Is that, like, authorized in some way to. To. For you to do that, or is that just a guy who buys a vest and a stop sign and walks that.
Titus
Oh, it could be.
Kate
It could be. I'm sure you can sign up.
Mincy
Or do you have to, like. Do you have to get the city to approve your.
Brandon
Yeah.
Mincy
Application as a volunteer?
Tate
Well, a lot of other crossing guards, like, at schools and stuff, will be cops and they just get.
Brandon
Yeah. They'll assign the city, will. You can, like, say, hey, we want to. And, like, the neighborhood will pay for it too. Yeah, sometimes.
Titus
Yeah.
Tate
That's a On days like that, that's just like a hall monitor or someone
Steven
trying to get service.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kate
Then I'm like, wait, you know, am I, like, really drunk? Was I being a fool? And I was like, no, like the. The.
Dan
We waited.
Kate
He scolded me. I stood around, and then the ambulance turns the corner.
Brandon
Yeah. That's crazy.
Dan
How do you know it was coming?
Tate
I hate the stop.
Brandon
He was good at probably. Probably the sirens.
Dan
How did he not know what was coming? I feel like both.
Brandon
Yeah. He actually sounds like kind of dominant is Jack. He was. He was trying to save your life.
Kate
Extremely good at his.
Brandon
He was like, not only a good at his job, but like a really good human good person.
Kate
Yeah.
Mincy
Yeah.
Brandon
He was like, dude, I don't want to see you die today. Let me save you.
Dan
But push comes to show they have loved me.
Brandon
Yeah.
Dan
Could you have taken him 100%?
Kate
I mean, fact that I'm even thinking about that. I still am.
Dan
You definitely sized him up.
Kate
Really? I did?
Brandon
Yeah. You could have taken him for sure. What? Sweet. So you guys were with Joey Chestnut and Deutsche?
Kate
I didn't make that scene.
Titus
Yes.
Brandon
So whose apartment was that at?
Titus
This was at Hannah's party.
Brandon
Did I see that picture?
Titus
She threw a fantastic party.
Dan
I got some questions about some pictures that came out of there.
Titus
Okay. Oh, yeah, There was some splits. There was some oldie.
Dan
There were some decorations.
Titus
There were some decorations. Brandon, you and a Speedo all over the tv.
Dan
Right? Oh, how'd that happen?
Brandon
Who's. Wait, whose apartment is this?
Titus
Hannah.
Brandon
Okay.
Titus
Through a great party, she did these fantastic jello shots with little rainbows with two little cloud puffs of whipped cream on them that I'm still thinking about.
Brandon
Okay.
Titus
It was great. She had the big mixed drink things going, but I look out and Joey Chestnut is out on the patio and it was like a good breeze going, okay, there he is. There's Brandon.
Dan
Okay.
Brandon
Oh, that's cool. Brandon.
Titus
But out on the patio, Joey Chestnut's like the center of the. And there's dudes talking to him. And all of a sudden I see this from the kitchen and everybody is like. Like dry heaving and putting their faces. I guess Joey pictures on a gusty balcony ripped a fart so bad that people were almost vomiting their shoes.
Dan
And I never thought of Chestnut farts.
Titus
Dudes came running in and they were like, I have never smelled anything like that. It.
Kate
Like, it like, it's comforting to know that that's what he. Yeah.
Titus
Yeah.
Kate
That's what he should be.
Mincy
Makes a lot of sense.
Titus
And I feel should be honored to be like, I smelled a Joey Chestnut fart. That's rare.
Brandon
You can't be like, Joey, how could you?
Titus
Right?
Brandon
You're like, of course, all people checks out.
Kate
Joe, what have you been eating?
Brandon
This is.
Titus
There's oldie also. I will say so. You know, we're all like, deutsch is deutsche. Is a wild card where, you know, he ran off the one time in the Steelers outfit up to Logan Square, whatever. From here.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
He came up to me with a little bit of fear in his eyes saying, Joey Chestnut is a problem. Is off the chain today.
Brandon
I kind of want to talk to the holidays.
Titus
He's like, I got to think, I gotta keep an eye on him today. And like, Deutsch was like, sobered up, concerned.
Brandon
Is that. Is that. By the way, I was thinking about this and that. I didn't go out on St. Patrick's Day. I went to another birthday party for a seven year old, which just what I do. Side note, I. I got. I. I've never been more emasculated. I did the VR set dive. I feel your pain now. I did the VR set. Spongebob roller coaster. Had to take it off. Got dizzy.
Kate
Nauseous.
Brandon
Yeah. My son did it like 17 times in a row.
Kate
Are you standing up when you do that?
Brandon
No, you're sitting. And I was like, this is actually too much. Had to take it off. There's no worse thing than having a friend visit and having to. And be like, they're a liability and knowing it early in the day. Yeah. Like being like, well, this just ruined like the rest of my day. I have to stay somewhat sober because my friend can't handle this now.
Titus
He might have been fine. He was lovely to talk to. Lovely guy.
Brandon
Yeah. I'm not saying that Joe was that, but that is. Yes, that. That triggered something in my brain where it's like, there is no word like, I'm going to go out. I'm going to have a great day. Oh, shit. Now I have to babysit.
Mincy
Imagine what it would take drinking for Deutsch to say that about you.
Brandon
I know.
Titus
He had fear in his eyes.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
I mean, George has his wild card.
Titus
He was a wild card.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
You don't eat that many dogs.
Titus
Oh, you're right.
Dan
Yeah.
Titus
But he was fun. It was fun. It was a good time. It was nice mixing and mingling, seeing everybody.
Tyler
The Borgs.
Brandon
I want to talk about the Borg.
Dan
Yeah, that's a.
Tate
Is that a newer phenomenon? I know they've been around, but I'VE never seen photos like the ones I was seeing this year.
Brandon
I knew about it, like, two. The Borgs.
Mincy
What are.
Dan
What are you talking about, the Borgs?
Brandon
We're talking about Borgs, right?
Tate
Where do we.
Brandon
Blackout, rage, gallon. This is a new thing kids do. I. I became aware of it, like, a couple years ago. I saw. I think it was either Mifflin or something in Madison. I saw a bunch of Borgs.
Titus
Yeah. And they named the Borgs.
Brandon
Yeah, they named the Borgs. That one is funny.
Titus
Bruce Vader, Ginsborg.
Kate
Yeah, I can get into that.
Brandon
Yeah. Otter and the Sorcerers, and they just. It's just full of vodka and water and, like.
Kate
I'm not gonna make fun of that.
Brandon
No, I.
Kate
That's what I was doing anyway. Except look at that.
Brandon
That's so many Borgs.
Tyler
So.
Brandon
Yeah, that's. I feel like this. That it was. We just did the stretch, and it was like, I. I already feel old. But it was like a true. Feel old because I remember we just use a flask.
Mincy
Yeah.
Brandon
An actual metal flask. That feels ancient.
Dan
Goodness, Grace.
Titus
I always said.
Brandon
Yeah. I feel like a railroad operator now.
Tate
Well, this defeats the purpose, too, because you used to put it in, like, you know, a water bottle, disguise it. But now you can have a gallon.
Steven
Just.
Kate
You're allowed to just.
Brandon
No, they just. They confiscated. The cops were just taking them left and right. The Borgs were getting crazy. Tj, have you borked?
Kate
Probably no.
Brandon
What ages. Who's in the gambling cave right now? I want to ask Rick about board.
Kate
Yeah.
Brandon
Get in here. Yeah, yeah.
Tate
Borgon.
Dan
Borgen.
Brandon
Wallen's food.
Dan
Rick definitely named his after, like, an Indian football.
Kate
Yeah. I'll be getting into his music. He's really good at music.
Brandon
He is.
Kate
I've been listening. I never gave him, like, a fair try.
Brandon
What about as a guy, do you like him? I don't.
Kate
I don't know. I don't know.
Titus
Kristen Cavallary said he lays the pipe.
Brandon
Wait, Morgan Wallen?
Mincy
Yeah.
Brandon
Christian.
Titus
I believe maybe I'm getting.
Dan
I believe she's right, but I believe
Brandon
she said, like, it messed up, that I'm still like, oh, no. That's actually what I was about to say. Be misogynistic. And I'm not gonna do that.
Kate
Here we go.
Dan
It's been years. Hey, Rick.
Tate
Hey.
Brandon
Well, Jay Color is my friend, so it's like, how dare she?
Dan
Yeah.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
But they've been divorced for, like, years.
Kate
I bored before. Mean a lot to him.
Brandon
Yeah. I got his back.
Kate
I did not this weekend. I think I've kind of aged out
Brandon
of it, but they got big, like, my senior year.
Dan
You have Borg?
Steven
Yeah.
Brandon
What were your Borg names actually?
Kate
Whiteboard Rick.
Brandon
Oh, that's so good. How'd you think of that?
Kate
The guy from.
Brandon
The same reason I thought of my burner name. The guy from Detroit. Oh, that's so good.
Kate
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was another one.
Brandon
Why did you answer that real?
Tate
I don't know.
Kate
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was another one. I don't know. I'd have to.
Brandon
You got political with it, right?
Tate
Your ears.
Dan
You know how headphones work.
Tate
Flipped.
Brandon
There we go.
Dan
There you go.
Kate
I like to have one out.
Titus
Oh, make America Borg again.
Brandon
I'm looking up. I'm looking up the best porn. I had a notes app.
Tate
I wonder if I still have. Is this strictly a house. Like a house party thing, or are you. Were you doing this when you were underage, like, outside drinking at a park?
Kate
It was a house party thing.
Brandon
Is it just. Is it just like jungle juice on the go?
Kate
Yeah, it's. So you get the gallon of water. You pour out half the gallon of water, fill it up with vodka, the
Brandon
rest of it squirt in a bunch of meo.
Kate
And yeah, you got a Borg.
Brandon
It actually, like, it keeps you.
Titus
That's cute.
Kate
The hangover is not as bad because you're hydrating the entire time while you're drinking.
Dan
Okay.
Brandon
Some of these make no sense.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
A little Borg patino makes no sense.
Dan
Little Uzi Borg.
Brandon
You're just putting Borg in.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
You're just saying Borg before you're allowed to do that. Adolf Borg.
Kate
Le Borg.
Brandon
James was another one for me.
Kate
Brown versus the Borg of Education. That's a classic.
Dan
Notorious B O R G. Brendan, how
Mincy
do you feel about all this?
Dan
I hate it.
Shock
Yeah.
Dan
I hate it. Mark and.
Brandon
I don't know. Iona. What?
Kate
Bork Malone.
Dan
Brown versus the Borg of Education.
Brandon
That's good.
Dan
That's a good one.
Brandon
That one I like.
Dan
That's the one that made me the baddest.
Kate
When did that hit y'?
Dan
All? I don't know.
Brandon
Pablo escoborg. That's good.
Dan
54.
Kate
No.
Dan
Are you.
Brandon
Some of these are fast at 54.
Dan
Hit us in, like, 72.
Tate
Are your Borg days behind you?
Steven
Yeah, I would say so.
Tate
What's the cutoff age, you think? Is it younger than Gen Z? I don't.
Kate
I don't. I don't think you should be Borgin past college.
Shock
Yeah.
Dan
So.
Brandon
Yeah, because that's a college house party. Or like, when we would go Wait
Kate
in line for basketball games all day. We'd bring a board with us.
Brandon
Well, I assume all the Borgs that were confiscated, that's just. Just a bunch of kids that are underage. I would assume so. Yeah. Like you, if you're not Borging if you can go to a bar.
Kate
Right, right, right, right. Just walking around in the freezing cold.
Brandon
Did you ever get Borg taken? No, we.
Kate
We were still so early to the wave that, like, cops didn't really know what they were.
Brandon
We were just carrying around jugs of colored liquor. How the. Did cops not know what I heard, like, pl.
Tate
Probably green milk.
Kate
They weren't. They weren't confiscating them in mass like they will.
Brandon
Electric blue water. Water jugs. Yeah, I'm sure that's Gatorade.
Kate
Yeah, but we never. We're getting them confiscated in mass like that.
Brandon
Yeah. Look at this.
Titus
Ah, see? Andre dumping a de Bor.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kate
Why is he dumping it so slow?
Brandon
I don't know.
Tate
Dramatic effect.
Mincy
Yeah.
Brandon
Porgs invade Chicago.
Dan
Oh, I hate it. I hate it.
Brandon
Oh, no, that's cool.
Titus
That's cool.
Brandon
That cop collected the Borgs. That's a shitload of alcohol.
Dan
Is Chicago the number one St. Patrick City in the country, or there's some random ones too?
Titus
Someone told me. Savannah.
Brandon
Yeah, Savannah.
Titus
I've heard.
Brandon
It's, like, huge.
Dan
I got to be honest, growing up, I never did a St. Patrick's Day. Like, I never. It was never a.
Mincy
Same.
Brandon
It's a fun holiday up.
Titus
It's fun. New York is good. It's the nooks and crannies, I hear.
Dan
Yeah.
Titus
You see, it's the little neighborhoods in the boroughs.
Tate
Chicago's so good that it's, like, bad now.
Dan
Too much.
Kate
Too overwhelming. Disgusting.
Dan
Like, is it.
Brandon
There's a lot of pressure. It's almost like a New Year's Eve type of situation. It's like you got. I mean, you got guys saying, we're getting ready for the holidays.
Dan
Nothing would ever make me want to go to a bar less than having to make a reservation for said bar. Yeah, that sounds awful.
Brandon
Yeah, I know, but that's. That's not something you would do. That's something. Every friend group needs one guy who's the planner, and he's like, hey, I got us 20 wristbands for this bar. And you're like, great. Okay, I never. I don't think I've ever. But you're actively gotten.
Mincy
Brandon, if you need reservations, you're describing a bar that's going to be packed to the gills.
Dan
Sure.
Brandon
Correct. But that's. Yeah.
Mincy
That sucks.
Dan
Any bar over 75% capacity is awful.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
If there's music going and everybody's with it, then the vibe is actually I've been in some St. Patrick's Day crowded bars.
Dan
You went to the pre game, right?
Titus
Awesome.
Dan
Yeah. Did you go to bars afterwards?
Titus
I went home and I Pat took the kids to a museum, so I cleaned the fuck out of my house.
Dan
You went pregame for cleaning your house?
Titus
Yeah, I was, I saw people going to the bars. I was like, maybe I'll do that. And then I thought about my house being empty and I was like, I could clean the the out of it right now.
Dan
That feel good?
Titus
I felt crazy.
Brandon
I mean, you probably played it right. Like St. Patrick said, you can't. You have to pick your spots. Like either go early and leave early because then you get like the zombies late. Who stayed all day.
Titus
Yeah.
Tate
Everything is sticky by the time you get there.
Brandon
Yeah. Late, like 7:00 o'clock at night. You just have half coherent people.
Kate
That's. Yeah.
Titus
I think the worst. Taking care of your drunk friend who like, you know, you have to slow down drinking. But also talking to people who are way drunker than you is tough. That can be tough.
Tyler
Brutal.
Titus
I could handle a few in a row, but a lot in a row. So I was like, you know what, I got to mop.
Tate
At what age is it? Like maybe, maybe your friend just deals with the consequences of their actions. Like how responsible are you for helping a 35 year old. 35 stay stay alive?
Brandon
Well, the problem is if they're staying. I think it all depends on where they're staying.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
If they're staying at your place, you are responsible for them because then you have to deal with them getting back to your place. If they have like a hotel room, it. I don't care.
Dan
True.
Tate
But it's like hypothetically say they've been there before. They know exactly where you live and how to get there. Like what are you gonna do? Just finger trap yourself to them all day?
Brandon
I guess it depends on how drunk too.
Kate
I'm not. Yeah. Third, my 35 year old homie isn't getting but up by his hair.
Brandon
Sure. You have a friend who's like, he's a. A well known problem when he gets drunk and you're like, you can leave them, but you know that you're almost complicit in a crime.
Kate
Gonna kill him.
Brandon
Yeah. Right.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
You leave them and you know there's.
Kate
They always freeze to death.
Tyler
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah. They lose their phone Immediately.
Tate
Yeah.
Brandon
Like, you won't see them. So it's. Yeah, it's one of those situations they're
Tate
not gonna pay you back for the bail money you spent on.
Brandon
Right, right. You're like, I just.
Tate
Deutsch has had a number of stories where I'm starting to think he is just the most responsible of his friend group, dude.
Brandon
Well, when I. When we hired him, I said to him, I was like, the only thing I have to ask you is like, I, you know, I know drinking is like part of your content, but, like, do I have to ever worry about. He's like, no, I. I just. I honestly just get silent and go home. And I was like, okay, great. Because I was like, I don't. I, like, I love you, Deutsch, but, like, I don't want to every weekend be like, oh, Deutsch ended up, you know, face down in the middle of the street and everyone's taking pictures and stuff. He's like, no, I don't do that. So I think he might be the most responsible.
Tate
Yeah, his PR is almost backwards. Like, he drinks like crazy, but he's a very chill drunk.
Brandon
Right.
Tate
He's not even like taking a shirt off or. Or anything.
Brandon
Yeah, I mean, we've seen it on the case race. He just goes silent.
Tate
Yeah, that's what you want.
Kate
35 beers is his Lexapro every day.
Brandon
It's just how he mellows out.
Kate
35 to 40.
Brandon

Last time, by the time we said the cards are live. They were already gone. So there's a delay between when we say it and when you hear it. Okay. So I will say when the cards are live today and then they'll be live.
Kate
Oh, Race.
Brandon
That's pretty awesome to get it. Yeah, it's a whole new. It's essentially an update to the first. So it's the same pictures as the first cards, but the first cards you signed were numbered to 1, 10 and 25. These are numbered to 2, 5 and 30. So it's. It's. It's new borders. It's new. It's. It's an expansion to the first set of cards.
Kate
I get it.
Brandon
There's twice as many packs available as there was the first time. Perfect. You're limited to three per order. How many are you gonna get, T.J. probably 12 or 15.
Tyler
You would.
Brandon
Those are gonna be awesome. Okay, so what. I mean, we. Titus and I just watched basketball all weekend.
Mincy
Just got ball in the brain.
Brandon
We have ball in the brain. Very fun streams.
Mincy
Yeah. I love Bosco this time of year.
Brandon
Yeah, I.
Mincy
He's at his best.
Brandon
He was. He was quite something. We also had one of the most chaotically ridiculous moments on Saturday where Titus Tate and I were arguing about women's hockey college while Mincy was fighting for his life in the Ole Miss Arkansas game. And then Connor Stallions walked in. Yeah.
Mincy
Yeah.
Brandon
Tate was so heated.
Mincy
It's too much. All of that was like a 10 minute window.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
T. T. I keep laughing about it. Tate turned to me and just so matter of fact was like, how could you? You know, I like to prepare. He is. He's a total prepared.
Kate
Dangerous. Yeah, I am too. But that.
Mincy
And then he. And then he sat down for the rest of the stream and started working on notes in case he bumps into Conor Stallions again.
Kate
He'll be the next time.
Tate
Ready to start.
Dan
Yeah.
Kate
Wild Connor, he just went.
Mincy
He went full mute. He was. Stayed on the couch. He pulls out his laptop, just goes full mute. Does not acknowledge any of the basketball going on. Is just typing away.
Brandon
Y.
Mincy
Getting ready to look one time and he just like shuts the computer. He's like, don't look.
Brandon
Yeah, it was. It was quite a.
Dan
No.
Brandon
Connor Stallions was here for maybe 10 minutes and. Yeah.
Tate
Was he just in the neighborhood?
Brandon
He was here for Michigan.
Tate
Okay.
Brandon
For the Big Ten tournament. And then stopped by.
Tate
Might as well.
Brandon
It was very.
Steven
It was.
Brandon
And that all was happening in like, again. Mincy was like in an overtime battle for his life.
Kate
We were just like, whatever dude, you're arguing about women's.
Brandon
What Wisconsin and Ohio State are. Are about to play. Are we in the championship game or we're just in the final four?
Mincy
We're both in the final fourth.
Brandon
Oh, so we're not even.
Mincy
We play set yet. No, but I mean, come on. Yeah, it'll be. We've played for the national championship the last three years, I think.
Dan
Oh, hockey.
Mincy
Women's hockey. And then we're. We're number one and number two again. We're going to play.
Kate
Oh, yeah. Something to. To really it.
Brandon
We have a dynasty and Satan.
Mincy
We have a dynasty.
Brandon
Trying to comp. Would you say two?
Mincy
When we win this year, we will have another. We'll. We'll have another dynasty.
Brandon
Let me ask you guys a question.
Mincy
Three and four years, definitely dynasty.
Brandon
Okay. Well, yeah, three and four years, definitely a dynasty. Wisconsin's done that pretty much every four years that you can look back in the last.
Kate
In women's hockey.
Brandon
Yeah, we've won four and six.
Kate
Four and six.
Dan
So competing dynasties.
Shock
Well, no.
Brandon
Again, would you say two national titles is a dynasty?
Dan
It needs to get three, I think.
Brandon
Yeah.
Mincy
Dan's doing the technicality that.
Brandon
Well, you don't have a dynasty.
Mincy
Wisconsin, this year we're going to beat him again.
Dan
But if he goes to three, it's a dynasty.
Brandon
Yeah, Right. Which we already have.
Dan
You've won four of the last six.
Brandon
Three out of the last five. Four Last six.
Mincy
We won two in a row. They beat us last year when they cheated in the shootout and the girls skated backwards, which you're not allowed to do. And she won the game winning goal. So we lost in the championship last year to them. And then this year we're going to win it again. And three or Sophie. Four in a row.
Dan
So if Ohio State does this and gets their third, you're not a dynasty anymore because they're the current dynasty.
Brandon
No, we would still be a dynasty, I believe.
Dan
Concurrent dynasties.
Brandon
Well, yeah.
Mincy
And this is what we were talking about as Connor Stallions.
Kate
Yeah.
Mincy
Meanwhile, Mitchy's screaming.
Brandon
Also, Ohio State did not win two in a row. That was just false what you just said.
Dan
Oh, if you're lying about it, then I would.
Mincy
We win.
Brandon
You won two out of three in the same. In the same time length that we won three out of five and also four out of five. So again.
Mincy
Right.
Brandon
We have four out of five.
Dan
How could they win two out of three while you're winning four out of five?
Brandon
We.
Shock
We.
Brandon
We won in 19, 21, 23 and 25. That's four out of five. 20 didn't count because it was Covid.
Mincy
1921.
Dan
1921, 22, 23, 24.
Brandon
Okay, okay. And they won in 22 and 24. We have four out of five or four out of six. Four out of six. They have. They won two out of four the last four years.
Dan
So this weekend is huge.
Kate
Is this weekend or you're playing for the Friday Sunday.
Brandon
But Brandon, you understand what I'm saying, if they win this year.
Dan
Right.
Brandon
They would say that they've won three out of five. We still have three out of five.
Mincy
Brand, let me ask you this as an outsider. As an outsider, your read on this situation. Is he quaking in his boots right now?
Brandon
No.
Mincy
It sounds like he sounds like he's quaking.
Dan
Not a little bit.
Mincy
Doesn't it?
Brandon
Again, they would be. They would tie Clarkson.
Shock
The.
Brandon
The juggernaut of Clarkson.
Dan
Well, we're not going to sit on Clarkson here, are we?
Brandon
I will.
Dan
Seems like if you, if you get a couple good players, you're just going to win two or three in a row.
Mincy
Yeah.
Brandon
What would be more impressive? Four out of six, four out of seven or three out of five?
Dan
The open ended one.
Brandon
We have that right now.
Dan
We're not right now. But I'm saying after this they can have the open ended one. Right.
Brandon
Okay, so we have the dynasty right now.
Dan
But I said when they win, if
Brandon
they win, they're not gonna for five
Mincy
more days and then it's ours.
Brandon
So then when we win, you're just gonna die. You're done with the dynasty talk. You have to be.
Mincy
Yeah.
Dan
I got stuck in a hotel one time with a. With a women's professional hockey league team and they were just maybe surprisingly is a bad word. They were hot. Whoa. They were hot. They were hot.
Tyler
Kate.
Titus
What?
Dan
It was in Philly too. What? The Wrestlemania. And we were sharing the hotel with a women's professional hockey league team. And like, they were all hot.
Kate
You're beautiful.
Titus
My IUP rugby team was smoke shows. They were.
Dan
What was. What was? Your noise.
Brandon
Sorry.
Mincy
Which women? Which sport has the athletes you think, Brandon?
Dan
Well, I mean, obviously we know the answer to that one. What'd you play, Kate?
Titus
Rugby.
Dan
Okay.
Titus
Field hockey. Said we got the plaid skirts.
Dan
You played field hockey too?
Titus
I went to college to play field hockey.
Dan
I thought you played rugby.
Titus
I played D2. I partied too hard and then I played rugby.
Dan
Okay. Yeah, Rugby was your fallback sport.
Titus
Yeah, I went to Europe.
Kate
Two sport college athlete.
Titus
Yes.
Kate
War veteran. You're incredible.
Mincy
Don't tell.
Kate
Talk about sports.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
Badass.
Titus
I went to the D2.
Kate
What a resume.
Dan
Yeah. You're unfortunately, impressive when we pull back the layers and it pisses me off.
Mincy
You want to play on the pros team tonight with us?
Titus
Kind of. I saw you get roasted.
Mincy
I know.
Brandon
Well, I mean, it's crazy. You're playing on the pros team, Titus. Why don't you. Helping out the boys?
Mincy
I'm. I was a Harlem Globetro. I don't understand. I don't understand.
Titus
Did you get to pick or you were told you're playing on the pros?
Mincy
I told Tate. I don't want to say what's going to happen, but.
Dan
Yeah.
Mincy
Yeah. I mean, I'm not. I'm. I imagine the pros aren't going to use me.
Titus
I think so.
Mincy
Imagine the pros.
Brandon
Well, they might have to. I think there's some big time flight issues.
Mincy
Yeah.
Brandon
Come on in. Deutsch. So this is playing.
Mincy
I see one Harlem Globetrotter on that list. By the way.
Kate
Did you, like, look for apartments in Harlem?
Tyler
Is that what they did?
Mincy
I did, yeah.
Kate
They moved to Harlem.
Mincy
Did. Had to move my whole family there.
Brandon
Oh, no.
Dan
All right.
Brandon
That was mean.
Dan
That was the meme you were talking about.
Mincy
Yeah.
Dan
Hey, Deutsche.
Joey
What's up, guys?
Brandon
How was the holidays?
Joey
It was a lot of fun.
Brandon
Put the mic a little closer.
Joey
We started at 7am at Billy Goat Tavern.
Brandon
Nice.
Joey
Had some beers and some breakfast, fueled up for the day, and then went over to Montoya's.
Mincy
Who's we?
Dan
Who?
Mincy
What's the group? What's the crew?
Joey
At that point, it was just me and Mr. Chestnut.
Tyler
Love that.
Brandon
Were you there for his fart?
Joey
I was there for multiple.
Brandon
He's a repeat offender.
Tyler
Yes.
Dan
Were they everything that we hear them to be?
Joey
Incredible. I've never. I've never smelt anything like it.
Dan
Oh.
Joey
But, like, you got to kind of appreciate it.
Kate
The off season or is he still mid season?
Joey
I think he's kind of in the off season.
Brandon
Is there an off season? I feel like he's got like a. He'll just pop up, like. Yeah, I just see.
Kate
And just do like, blueberry biscuits.
Brandon
Yeah. Or like, I. I just ate 225 clams.
Dan
His training is about to offer July 4th, right?
Brandon
Yeah.
Kate
Randomly. When the clam open.
Brandon
Yeah.
Joey
Clams would be incredible.
Brandon
He got paid $3,000 to win the Clam Open.
Joey
I think he just did bagels, which is insane.
Brandon
That's nuts. How many bagels?
Joey
I think.
Kate
Oh, that. His jaw must have been holy.
Joey
Like the Big massive ones with cream cheese, I think cream cheese. I think he did like 17 and
Brandon
three quarters in how much time? 16 and seven eighths in eight minutes. Oh, my God, dude, that's so much chewing. Oh.
Kate
Just in his gut. Biome ready.
Joey
And I think he edged out, like, one of his best friends that lives in Chicago by, like, one bite. Like a. I think it was, like, less than a quarter.
Brandon
Bagel eating champion.
Mincy
What's the purse for these?
Kate
Dude, I love how it's not one thing.
Brandon
It's always. Yeah, it's like always. 5,000.
Mincy
Yeah.
Tate
Didn't you say this is right under hot dogs?
Joey
Like, number two, I think this. And then, like, wings. I think he did, like 245 wings. Maybe in 10 minutes.
Brandon
Bertoletti's been here, right?
Kate
Bertoletti's.
Tyler
Yeah, he's.
Kate
He's a solid dude.
Joey
Yeah, he's the nice competitor. He's the nicest guy.
Brandon
Can we see all the things that Joey Chestnut's competed in?
Mincy
Yeah, I always forget. He's. He's an indie guy.
Brandon
Yeah, he lives. Yeah, he just drove up here. I think he lived in California for a long time, and then he just moved back, like, a couple years ago.
Mincy
So, I mean, that's.
Kate
Is he eaten in 49 food?
Mincy
Is he eating basketball?
Kate
That's right.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
Okay.
Dan
Jalapeno pops.
Brandon
This is a time I had those
Dan
forever 47 grilled cheeses in 10 minutes.
Titus
What's a horseshoe sandwich?
Dan
Oh. Oh, God.
Brandon
Bread, hamburger patty. Eleanor cheese, pork, chicken wings, steak. Oh.
Dan
2008 was nine pounds of pulled pork.
Brandon
Funnel cake. That was probably delicious.
Dan
Yeah.
Tate
Within my first five minutes of meeting Bertoletti, he showed me a picture of his puke after the. The blueberry contest. And it was just straight unchewed blueberries.
Kate
Brain Brian. Oh, brain tacos.
Brandon
Brain tacos.
Joey
God, Danny, you said brain tacos.
Kate
Hard boiled eggs. Is that not to imagine?
Brandon
Oh, hard boiled eggs.
Joey
That was not puke.
Tate
That was his.
Dan
He ate 25 of those cat sandwiches. Those things are huge.
Brandon
Oh, my God. 141 hardboiled legs getting slept on here. Eight minutes. That's crazy.
Kate
In Radcliffe. Oh, yeah.
Titus
He had to have just been swallowing them whole like a snake.
Brandon
Deep fried asparagus. Turkey hole. Oh, my God, this tour.
Tate
Does he have, like, a certain boysenberry piece, a certain line do they're like a food he just can't stand?
Kate
Glazed donuts. 55 and eight minutes. 55 donuts.
Brandon
Oh, my God.
Titus
81 mutton sandwiches.
Steven
Is he the most decorated?
Brandon
Yeah. Look at this. St. Pedro Fish Market shrimp, 7 pounds.
Dan
What's a canteen sandwich?
Brandon
Oh, it's just like, all different versions of sloppy joe. Yeah. Wait, how many went back on the canteen sandwiches?
Dan
He's going all over the country doing. He's got. He's got records all over the country.
Titus
28 pounds of poutine.
Brandon
Oh, my God. Eggo waffles. 81 in eight minutes. Who comes up with that? That championship. The waffle eating championship.
Kate
Ramen noodles at the core.
Tate
32 Big Macs and 30.
Dan
Took him a while with the Big Macs Covet year.
Brandon
Yeah, these are. Him and Gorski got a little. How does he not have, like, a.24
Dan
pounds of red beans and rice?
Brandon
Why are we not just following him around with camera all the time?
Mincy
32 servings of popcorn in 8 minutes at a minor league baseball game.
Brandon
14 pounds of baloney slices in 8 minutes. 14 pounds of baloney.
Kate
Oh, yeah, that was popcorn.
Dan
Too easy to stuff down like that.
Tate
We got a liquid.
Brandon
Oh, then he went. £15 of baloney slices at the ultimate baloney showdown. Jesus.
Dan
Yeah, he had a bad. He had a bad Bologna run in 24. I got it better.
Brandon
There's nothing this man won't eat.
Mincy
What's it like going to dinner?
Kate
Yeah, he went to.
Mincy
Just to.
Kate
Is he ate with him?
Joey
Yeah. He's hilarious. He's super funny. He might be in, like, the top 10 most recognizable people.
Mincy
I meant more about, like, habits.
Dan
Was the order personality?
Mincy
Like, what?
Dan
We just.
Joey
We both just got omelets.
Tate
Like, does it affect your parents? Like, does it.
Steven
Just one.
Tate
Is he ever full at a normal dinner?
Joey
I don't know if he's ever full. I know, but he's, like, health conscious and tries to eat good. He'll be like. He'll do, like, cleanses, but health conscious
Brandon
as much as a guy who's.
Joey
Right.
Brandon
15 baloney.
Joey
Right? Right.
Tyler
Yeah.
Joey
Like, he just went and did a cleanse. I think it was, like, in Thailand or something. And didn't eat. I think he just, like, drank liquids for, like, days.
Brandon
And that makes sense. What did the rest of the day look like? How long were you with Mr. Chestnut?
Joey
We were probably out until like, seven or eight.
Brandon
And he was just going the whole time?
Joey
Yeah, he was going. And he. I mean, thousands of people just constantly coming up to him because you got to think of. It's not like he's on a sports team where, like, only people in a specific area, like, he's. Everyone knows he's America's, like, guy.
Brandon
It's good to know, was he chugging beers?
Joey
We chugged some beers. We shotgunned some beers on Montoya's porch, which was fun.
Tate
They made him stay out there a while.
Kate
Does he. Does he talk to you or treat you as if you're a protege?
Joey
The first time I met him, he, like, grabbed me and grabbed my stomach, and we're just like, so.
Mincy
Yes.
Joey
I think I could get you, like, into this.
Brandon
He's like, he groomed you. He's. He groomed you for hard boiled eggs.
Kate
That's got to feel great.
Joey
Oh, it felt great. But that would be a lot to live. I couldn't handle that kind of pressure, you know? But so he was grabbing me. He's like, eventually, I'm going to need a protege.
Kate
Feeling you. He was feeling your stomach.
Joey
You had it doing that. And then he found out I was 37. And he's like, oh, yeah, you're too old.
Brandon
Oh, no.
Joey
Which kind of sucked.
Brandon
But that does suck. You let him down.
Tyler
Yeah.
Joey
He was disappointed after that.
Tate
What about Bertoletti? Why isn't he in protege talks?
Joey
I think they're. They're right.
Kate
Their rival's already up.
Joey
They're like, right around the same age.
Brandon
It's gotta suck, though, being a competitive eater in the age of Joey Chestnut.
Joey
Oh, any other time, he's coming in first.
Brandon
You're just going. You're just in immense pain to never win. No glory.
Kate
But there's got to be opens and tournaments he's not going to.
Joey
Right, Right.
Brandon
But you got to know in the back of your head, like, well, if
Mincy
he did shows up. Yeah.
Tyler
It wouldn't.
Brandon
It would be his competition here.
Joey
Yeah. So I think he won in 24, the only year that Joe. I think he held out.
Brandon
Band.
Tate
Yeah.
Joey
Held out or whatever happened.
Brandon
And there was a year that he lost after his fiance dumped him. That was. That was. That was tough.
Mincy
Is there any food he's not good at? Does he have, like. Like, Federer has to overcome clay courts, you know? Like, it's just not like, yeah, is
Brandon
there one food that's like, I just can't do it.
Mincy
Can't play on. On clay.
Joey
I'll have to. I'll text him that one.
Brandon
Yeah.
Joey
I want to know if he has a kryptonite.
Brandon
Yeah. Like, not even. Because there's probably foods that he just refuses to eat. I'm saying, like, I think what you're saying, Titus, too, is like a food that he's attempted and he just can't win.
Mincy
He just can't get it down. Right. It just like, won't go down the goal at quite right.
Joey
I think that, like, the amount of pain that they put their bodies through, I don't know if they'd be like, oh, I'm not gonna. I don't know if a food would, like, really matter, you know?
Brandon
Yeah.
Joey
I think it's more of just like eating through pain.
Brandon
Yeah.
Mincy
What's. What's like a retirement look like for him? What does aging look like when you have this as your career? Do you think he's capable of acknowledging that? Like, you know, when he's like 50 years old, maybe I should stop doing this. Or do you think he's just going to always show up at small town fairs and compete in their pie eating?
Kate
Able to give it up?
Joey
That's a good question. But he's so competitive.
Tate
Right.
Joey
I could see him, like, even if he took a year, I think he'd, like, look at the number and be like, that's terrible. Like, next year I'm getting back in there.
Brandon
Yeah.
Joey
Even if he was like 75,
Steven
if.
Mincy
Yeah. I think he's got to have it forever. I think he's going to. Yeah. I just can't imagine a world where he's just not doing this.
Brandon
Yeah. But I also don't want to imagine a world where he doesn't win. Like, I don't want to see a washed up Joey Chestnut.
Mincy
Yeah, that'd be tough.
Brandon
That would kill me.
Mincy
Tough.
Brandon
Yeah. Like, imagine being James Webb. Like, you're just, you're just in pain all the time and you're just like, yeah. Joey Chester just beats me.
Joey
He, he, this guy does like, really well on Tick Tock and Instagram.
Brandon
Oh.
Joey
He does like a bunch of his own food challenges. And yeah, he's very popular, but his
Brandon
record's 40, so he's still 30 off the pitch.
Dan
He's also the undisputed champion of the southern hemisphere, which is half the planet, guys.
Brandon
Yeah, that's cool. Move there.
Kate
Getting 20th place every round. He's still a pro. He's making no money, no glory.
Brandon
Probably gets asked.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
Every time he brings it up, probably gets asked, what's Joey Chestnut like?
Kate
Right. Like, that still puts on a hell of a performance. You'll eat 112 oreos in two minutes just to get 30th place. Then he has to book a flight home with his own money.
Brandon
He's got 200 little smokies, no problem.
Kate
Opens up his pantry and just throws punches it. I can't do it.
Joey
It's crazy how hard 20 is to do, like, my. My buddy from home, like, two months ago. He's like, I want to get into hot dog eating. And I'm like, all right, let's boil up some dogs.
Brandon
I did it. I competed against Joey.
Joey
Yeah.
Brandon
I had 12 and 12 minutes or 10 minutes and I was.
Kate
It's really good.
Brandon
So sick.
Joey
Yeah.
Brandon
That felt like such shit for days. And that is 60 off of what Joey eats.
Joey
My. My buddy ate seven and then went outside and projectile vomited.
Brandon
Oh, man. Yeah, it's brutal.
Kate
I think you would regret it, though, if you didn't give it a. You know, like a real attempt.
Brandon
Deutsch. They do the Chug now, too, at Nathan's. Could you do that? Yeah, the lemonade.
Joey
Well, they did do the Chug until someone projectile vomited.
Dan
Airsoft.
Brandon
Fatty. Who's been on the yak?
Titus
I think they don't do this anymore.
Tyler
No.
Joey
So a guy just started, like, projectile vomiting and they canceled it onto the crowd, which sucks.
Kate
I would imagine that's a common occurrence.
Joey
Yeah, because that's a. That's a gallon of ice cold lemonade. Like, that would be tough to put down.
Tate
Well, what they think was going to happen, of course there's going to be some projectile. Was it purposely aiming at the crowd or something?
Joey
No, he was. I think he was trying to hold it in, but he did squirt it on the crowd back.
Tate
The crowd.
Brandon
Oh, my God.
Tate
It's like the splash.
Kate
If you're in the front, you got to hope for that.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah. Touched by Gods.
Joey
Just have a poncho on and it's like Free Willy splashing you.
Brandon
Yeah, Yeah.
Kate
A little taste of Jordan sweating on.
Joey
A little taste of excellence.
Brandon
Oh, man. But a good holiday overall. Did you go out yesterday?
Joey
I did go out yesterday.
Brandon
Okay. You went to Southside Parade?
Joey
No, I just went out around here.
Brandon
Oh.
Joey
Just kept the holiday going.
Mincy
So what happens tomorrow, Danny? Like, is there anything going on with St. Patrick's Day?
Tate
No, I don't think so.
Dan
No.
Brandon
I mean, there'll be people out, but it's not.
Mincy
That's weird.
Brandon
Yeah.
Dan
Yeah.
Tate
It's not like, maybe a little more people than normal, but. No.
Brandon
Are you gonna go out tomorrow?
Joey
I'll probably have to have a couple.
Brandon
You have to.
Joey
I'll probably have a couple Guinnesses tomorrow.
Brandon
Yeah. I mean, it's the holiday. It's the actual holiday.
Joey
It is the actual holiday tomorrow, so I'll probably suck a few back.
Brandon
Got to. Got to. That's a. I mean, you have to. You have no choice. All right. Deutsch.
Joey
Thanks for having me, guys.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah. Let us know what Joey says.
Shock
I will.
Titus

Brandon
I had a question for you, Brandon.
Steven
Yeah.
Dan
Hey, what's up, mother?
Brandon
So I had to go. I double, double birthday parties this weekend.
Dan
Yep.
Brandon
My son has a broken wrist, so he can't. Like, it was like a trampoline park. And the other one was like a climb zone, so you can't partake. So we just, we just hit the video games. Hard.
Dan
Yeah, hard. Yeah.
Brandon
Me and him, just hard.
Dan
Love it.
Brandon
A lot of claw machines. Yesterday there was a kid who wasn't in my son's class because I was like, I said to my son, I was like, do you know this kid? And he's like, no. Kid just followed us around just being like, can I try this? Can you pay for this? And I just, eventually I just be like, kid, I don't know you, man. Like, what are we doing? He just kept on asking me to just like swipe my credit card on every game. Not the ones my son was playing. Like, I let him get some turns with my son. But then he was just like, can you buy me this? I was like, what?
Kate
He said, can you buy me?
Brandon
Yeah. He was like, I want to try this. Can you swipe your credit on this six? Huh?
Dan
Maybe he didn't understand what money was.
Brandon
Yeah, I don't know. But I was just like, I. I was like, kid, do you got like a. Some, like a parent here?
Dan
I don't know. I'd be Horrified. If my kid were doing that.
Brandon
Yeah.
Dan
I don't know what's crazy.
Kate
You had to. You have to shut him down. You gotta teach I did young or he's gonna grow up to be a pest.
Brandon
Yeah, he had a little pest energy,
Tate
I think you say, like, ask your dad if it's okay. Just so you could see which.
Brandon
Well, I said. I was like, do you have a. Is your parent here? Like they can pay for all this? And again I was letting him get like claw machine.
Titus
Four.
Brandon
Four goes. Go ahead. You get one kid, you know, working them in. But I'm not gonna also pay for another claw machine. Separate just for him after you swiped.
Kate
What would it. Was he. Was he appreciative?
Brandon
Not really.
Kate
No. Did he ever hug you?
Brandon
And I kind of let. Laid the ground rules. I was like, if you get something big, like it's my sons.
Dan
Oh yeah.
Brandon
Because I'm paying for this.
Mincy
Did he refer to you as it was. Were you like Mr. To him or you?
Brandon
No, he just. Just Even. Even. We were playing a video game. Me and my son were playing video game. Playing the Jurassic park game. And he was just like, mid game. He's just like, can I play? And I was like, no, I'm. I'm playing. We're. We're shooting the dinosaurs together. What are you talking about?
Tate
Gotta have your son fighting.
Steven
If you don't know the kid you're gonna do.
Brandon
Yeah, I was like, this is great. If the kid was.
Kate
I'm kind of switching. I feel.
Brandon
No, but here's another.
Kate
His home life might seem son.
Brandon
Okay, but here's the. Here's the alternative. There were other kids who were like, ended up coming over and doing the same thing, but were in my son's class and friends with my son. And I was like, yeah, sure, but
Mincy
this kid you just didn't know.
Brandon
I don't even know if he was at the right party.
Mincy
Steve, what's the weight threat?
Brandon
Just following us around, getting too close to my son.
Steven
Is there a law I. I help. Help coach my son's basketball team on assistant coach. And it's in like this big community center and it is just overrun with kids on like Saturday afternoon. And so I see a lot of kids that I know, and then there are way more kids that I don't know. And maybe like three weeks ago, some kid who I didn't recognize, didn't know was like, hey, can you tie my shoe? And I just looked at him. I was like, I don't know you.
Brandon
Oh, I tie a shoe Steven
Tyler
shoe.
Kate
He found the trustworthy looking adult.
Brandon
I tie a shoe.
Dan
Tie the shoe.
Brandon
I am Absolutely a 5 year old.
Dan
Are you kidding?
Brandon
I thought you were crazy.
Mincy
I don't know.
Kate
I don't know what you're. It could be.
Dan
Yeah.
Kate
He shouldn't be a razor blade in your.
Steven
He shouldn't be talking to strangers like I'm.
Dan
He's in a community center, you know,
Steven
several teammates or coaches or stuff there.
Brandon
Like you're literally in a yours.
Dan
I kid.
Brandon
Yeah. I tie a kid's shoe.
Shock
I want.
Kate
No, you saved his life asking for help.
Brandon
And again I.
Dan
My poor little kid can't tie his own shoe.
Steven
Dude, as an assistant basketball coach of seven year olds, you're tying shoes most of the day.
Dan
Right, but that's okay.
Steven
Shoe for some kid.
Brandon
I don't.
Dan
Oh my God.
Mincy
In the community center where the community comes together.
Dan
That's great.
Mincy
This building is designed entire community.
Steven
There's going to be three other kids shoes on his team. And he's like, oh, that guy will tie it. No, I'm, I'm not.
Brandon
Did the kid trip after.
Steven
I don't know. I walked away.
Titus
You walk.
Dan
You turned your back to him.
Steven
I looked him in the face, I said I don't know you. And I walked.
Brandon
But you got, you got, you got.
Tate
You got two different arguments going here. First you said you didn't tie because
Tyler
you don't know him.
Tate
And now you're saying like I tie enough shoes as is like on my team.
Kate
There's a poor orphan with a broken nose right now.
Dan
Dan was dealing with a kid who was gaming the system, who saw an adult with a little money and he was coming up and he was.
Brandon
And I didn't even know the kid and my son didn't know the kid. And I don't even think he was at the right party because there's like 17 parties going on at once. I was like, you're. I don't think we're at the same party, dude. Where. I'm not, I'm not doing this. And again, when my. My son's friends came up, I was swiping left and right for that.
Steven
Yeah, yeah, that's that.
Dan
You had a kid who just want to play basketball, who just wanted to get back out there with his boy.
Steven
Oh no, he wasn't. It wasn't a game. It was like in the. Like poor kids.
Titus
How.
Dan
How old would you say the kid was?
Steven
7 or 8?
Dan
Oh my.
Brandon
You gotta tie that shoe, Steven.
Dan
I will go on record right now. I don't Care where I am. If a kid walks up, it's a slow.
Brandon
You tie my slide.
Dan
I'm tying the.
Kate
God, what's next? Button my
Mincy
butt?
Kate
My zipper?
Steven
And then some kids got to do the jersey change because they're wearing the wrong color. Like, no. Like. Yeah, I don't know.
Dan
Even the slippery slope is just the other shoe.
Steven
It starts with that.
Brandon
Next thing you know, you got another kid in.
Mincy
Yeah.
Brandon
Sleeping in your house.
Dan
Who cares if you're. If you're tying shoes for every kid in the building? What?
Kate
Yeah,
Titus
it's the. I don't know. You is crazy to me. I'd be like, well, I bet we can find your coach.
Kate
Blow on my tummy.
Tate
That kid's gonna remember that forever.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
Like, even I said to the kid before, I was like, no. To the kid, I said, hey, do you have a dad here?
Kate
Mark 1. Grow up to be Mark Wahlberg.
Shock
Oh,
Brandon
Asian hate.
Tate
I'm at a point with Steve where, like, I don't want to get on his bad side.
Brandon
Yeah,
Kate
I am not.
Mincy
What if he just.
Brandon
What if Stephen just air horn the kid? What'd you say? Get away from me.
Dan
Stephen, I saw your. You and your kid this weekend, and your kid was like, would you please buy me some lemonade, sir? And I was like, yeah, I went and bought him some lemonade.
Steven
Yeah, he did ask that. And I said. I said, no. I shut it down.
Brandon
You shut down lemonade?
Steven
Yeah, he was. He was angling because we met up with Brandon. Brandon was having some food at a table at the card show, and we sat down. We were talking with him for a while, and then my son was like, like, oh, like, I'm hungry too. Like, let me get something. Like, no.
Dan
Started working me for limited.
Steven
We're going home in, like, 30 minutes, so. No, we're gonna have dinner at home. He wanted a lemonade. It was a total scam. He only gets those on special.
Brandon
Kids will do that. They. They just angle for anything.
Steven
Yeah, yeah, he knew what he was sure. He saw. He saw vending machine that had lemonade on the way.
Dan
You're at the card show. It's a fun. It's fun time. Let's boy have some lemonade.
Steven
He had some lemonade yesterday. We went to the card show yesterday.
Brandon
Great.
Tate
It would take so much for me to tell a random kid, like, no,
Brandon
I don't know you.
Dan
Yeah, I. I can't imagine a world where I don't tie the kids shoes.
Steven
Yeah, dude, if you're tying, like, slippery
Dan
slope, though, I've coached Too. Steven, I've coached with all these kids.
Tate
The gateway shoe.
Mincy
Thinking about that opponent. But what about all. Everything that comes after you tie that shoe?
Dan
If I'm coaching third base, third baseman is like, hey, can you tie my shoe? I'd step onto the field.
Steven
I think that's. That's a little bit different situation.
Kate
Yeah.
Brandon
Not at all.
Kate
The gateway drug for pedophilia.
Brandon
Chris Hansen pops out. See, you tied that kid.
Joey
Yeah.
Shock
Wait.
Kate
I kind of like that. I need more.
Brandon
Poor kid dangling his shoelaces everywhere,
Tyler
Man.
Brandon
Steven, I don't know.
Mincy
You all right?
Brandon
Yeah. I don't think our situations are the same.
Dan
Get out of here, kid.
Steven
It's maybe not the same ballpark, but we're playing the same sport.
Brandon
I don't know.
Dan
I don't think you are.
Brandon
I don't think. No, but I. Again, I tried to. I didn't go straight to no either. I tried to. Like, I was just like, hey, dude, like, you know if your parent has, like, a credit card? Because it was. It was one of these arcades, didn't even have the cards you could buy. If I had a card that could swipe, I would have been like, here, take the card. It was my physical credit card that I had to use for every single thing. So I was like, I'm not giving you my credit card.
Kate
Like, his parents probably sent him to you.
Brandon
He's like, oh, dude, I was a Pied Piper with this because my. Again, my son has a broken wrist. So all the other kids can go play. We had to play video games. And then as soon as they see someone playing video games, they just come flooding, and they're like, oh, let's go.
Kate
I'm sure it's rewarding to watch your kids have fun, but I. That has to be kind of hell being amongst that many children.
Brandon
Oh, yeah.
Kate
So often.
Brandon
Oh, the parties. The party circuit is. It's taking a lot out of me. Me. It's every weekend.
Kate
It's too much.
Brandon
You get invited to every party, all
Kate
of your classmates, every single one. Automatic invite.
Brandon
Automatic invite.
Dan
Yeah. Up until, like, eight or nine, it's
Tate
everybody, and you got to keep going. Up until 8 or 9.
Dan
Yeah. Yeah.
Brandon
I would have dropped my son off if he didn't have a broken wrist. Like, I would have just dropped him off and left him there.
Tate
Then he might have to deal with someone like Steve.
Brandon
Yeah, true. Now I have to actually be worried, like, what if his shoe gets untied?
Dan
What if that kid had a.
Steven
The birthday parties typically are pretty convenient times. They're usually pretty quick. Like, usually not more than two hours.
Kate
Oh, that's not bad.
Brandon
Yeah, it's like.
Dan
Yeah, they're quite. And for the most part, the kids. You walk them in there and they'll. They'll find the other kids and go off.
Brandon
No, I have no problem with the birds. It's the specific fact that this is the third birthday party in eight days where the only thing I've done is just go and just do claw machines.
Mincy
Yeah.
Brandon
I've done so many.
Dan
How long's the. In the cast? How long is he gonna be?
Brandon
Three more weeks.
Mincy
Yes.
Brandon
And claw machines. Claw machine. And I hate claw machines. We went home with like 17 rubber ducks that no one ever.
Kate
Yeah.
Brandon
It's just so stupid. And just cheap toys that just. They don't even. It's the.
Tyler
The.
Brandon
The idea of getting them is exciting. And then the minute they get them, it's just. They're just never looked at again.
Kate
Yeah, it's a duck.
Steven
I actually have a claw machine question.
Brandon
Yeah.
Steven
I was at Dave and Buster's, good friends of ours, a couple weeks ago. We were. My daughter wanted a Scooby Doo little stuffed animal, whatever. There were like two or three in the machine. There were two machines next to each other. The one that we were on, like, you couldn't. It was in an area where you couldn't really get to it. There was a machine next to it where there was a guy who was probably 25.
Dan
Yep.
Steven
And he was getting every Scooby Doo and putting it in a bag and then going again. He had no fewer than 15 Scooby Doo's in a plastic bag.
Dan
Steven, you're.
Brandon
You're telling Joey Chestnut of Scooby Doo.
Steven
I almost wanted to fight him.
Tate
But you're telling you don't like stray dogs.
Dan
You're telling. What ruins. Or this ruins Dave and Buster's. And it ruins these places because you take your kids and they won't do something. And there will be adults in front of you that sit there and take everything. And it's crazy.
Kate
That's really.
Dan
You should have hit this. Yes. This is real.
Kate
It's an epidemic of grown adults.
Dan
They will. The big claw machines in the corner, they will go. They will stand there and they will get everything. They have those. You were doing one with toys and everything. But they have those ticket circles.
Steven
Yeah.
Dan
And. And there will be adults with. With tickets up their arms on both sides and kids can't get them. And it's crazy. I think the David Buster's put a goddamn Limit. Age limit on those things. But you probably make a lot of money with it.
Kate
That's just weird.
Dan
What's. What's.
Steven
I mean, it wasn't necessarily, like, a cheap. What's a guy gonna do with all those Scooby Doo toys? Like, they were like.
Kate
You're not wrong.
Shock
He had.
Steven
He had a literal bag and a half full, like, at least 15 Scooby Doo's. And he just kept getting more.
Mincy
No fear.
Kate
I've never been more on your side.
Titus
Maybe he's like the shell shocker for Scooby Doo. Like, maybe that's his thing.
Tyler
Thing.
Dan
Those people suck, dude.
Brandon
I don't know.
Steven
I don't know. I was.
Kate
That could be so mad.
Brandon
Were they, like, rare?
Kate
Scooby doo's got you 16 Scooby.
Dan
But, you know, it's not just a
Brandon
Scooby Doo when you're.
Dan
When you get there and your kid wants something.
Steven
Well, you had to.
Dan
That's all that matters.
Steven
Oh, we were waiting. Yeah.
Kate
Did he know, like, kids were behind you?
Steven
We were two feet away from him, and she was like, no, I want the Scooby Doo. And there was one in the machine, but it was in a spot that was.
Dan
Did you get one?
Steven
We ended up getting one, yes.
Brandon
The problem is we waited him out, Dave. And Buster is also a bar, so it's like, adults are allowed to get Scooby Doos.
Mincy
Yeah. I thought David Busters was for adults. An adult version of the kids arcade. Yeah, but I've only been Chucky twice for kids.
Brandon
Yeah. Chuck E. Cheese is for kids.
Dan
Yeah, But.
Kate
Yeah, you get a flube.
Brandon
No, never mind.
Titus
Danny said he used to go to. Do you guys remember Caesar Land? Little.
Tate
Little Caesars had a regional thing, I guess.
Titus
Had a regional indoor park that. That's where Danny had his birthdays was Caesar Land.
Kate
The Little Caesars amusement park.
Dan
Yeah.
Tate
It was in a plaza, too.
Mincy
No way.
Tyler
Oh, no.
Titus
Y. Danny celebrated at Caesar Land.
Tate
I think it's. It's gone now, though.
Brandon
Yeah. Because the.
Dan
The.
Brandon
The birthday circuit now is like. The places they got. Are insane.
Dan
I mean, trampoline parks changed.
Brandon
Trampoline parks, the climb zones. Like, they got everything.
Kate
We were going to, like, Squiznos.
Dan
We're going to Pizza Hut.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kate
It's always fast food restaurants.
Dan
Pizza Hut had a glass sitting area.
Brandon
My birthdays were just watching the.
Kate
Shut up.
Brandon
With, like, because my. My birthday is always around.
Dan
Oh, you got a good birthday.
Brandon
But it was just like. That was. It was just in my house.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
It was like, oh, yeah, you can invite over a few friends to watch.
Tate
The soup yard parties were still a hit.
Titus
Yeah.
Kate
Yeah.
Dan
I had one party. It was when I turned 4. And I remember it.
Tate
Is there anything new happening in arcade games?
Brandon
No, they've actually, like almost gone back. Like, I. I need them to get better.
Dan
Okay, so. So this is. Most of them are just ticket machines now.
Brandon
Yeah, they're just tickets and claw machines.
Dan
Tickets and claw machines. Tickets and claw machines. Now there are some cool. There's a good updated NBA Jam. And then you got the Pac man on the wall. The wall Pac Man's good. The wall Galaga is good.
Brandon
Do you know what they've done too, with claw machines? They've. They've changed it so that there's claw machines now where you can win every time. But the toy is just such crap.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
So the kids win and they get excited about winning, but it's just. Again, it's just crap. I don't know.
Tate
The claw machine was like a big feat.
Brandon
Yeah, but that, that's when it used to be like there'd be real prizes. It'd be hard to get.
Dan
We were playing for crap too.
Brandon
Yeah. But a little bit elevated crap. And you also wouldn't get it every time.
Titus
Yeah, there'd be like a Tamagotchi. There was always a Tamagotchi in there
Brandon
that was like, I'm not joking. We got 16 rubber ducks on Saturday. Yeah, that's. That's. That's too many things you've wanted a claw machine.
Dan
That sucks.
Brandon
Yeah.
Dan
But I mean, even the tickets you get, you get 5, 000 tickets and you get a Sonic the Hedgehog plushie and a yo yo.
Brandon
You get. You get a, like a one inch wide yo yo.
Dan
Yeah.
Kate
And there's one with sugar. Expensive tech. It's like boxes of ipod touches.
Brandon
Yes. Yes.
Kate
I wonder if this claw will pick up this brick.
Brandon
That's what we yesterday was. It was. It was eggs. You had to get the egg. Like, like little plastic eggs. And inside, allegedly one of them had a key that then would open up and you'd get like a, like a switch. Obviously we didn't get the key. We just got a bunch of little fucking trash plastic toys.
Steven
There were two updates that I saw with games for the claw machine at Dave and Buster's. They have a physical one where the kid becomes the claw.
Brandon
That's cool.
Steven
But it's all like inflatable bananas and stuff that like go in a pool. And then the other thing is they do some like VR stuff. But you got to put on a headset and, like, a bunch of.
Brandon
Oh, that's awesome. I want to do this.
Steven
Yeah, that looks kind of cool. But all the prizes are like. Like, those type of things.
Dan
Grab it.
Brandon
By the way, Steven, I almost zip lined yesterday.
Steven
Did you really?
Brandon
Yeah.
Dan
Where?
Brandon
I'm not telling.
Dan
Why are you so excited?
Brandon
The only reason I didn't is my son's a rule follower. And he was just like. I was like, let's go do the zip line. He's like, okay. They told me I can't. I was like, well, I'm telling you, you can. They're like, the doctor said I can't. I was like, oh, the dog.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
Well, it was a zip line to, like, a climbing range, which I guess that kind of made sense that he was like, what do I do once I get to the end of the zip line? Like, I have to climb all the way through with one arm.
Titus
The doctor looked at Big Cat. He was like, no, zip line.
Brandon
Yeah, I was trying to get. I was just like, come on, your
Titus
dad's gonna try to get you.
Dan
You know, you have an awesome life. If your doctor is specifying zip line.
Brandon
Yeah. Like, let's just do it. And he's like, no, can't do it. I was the kid. He was the adult.
Dan
That's your first broken bone for a kid.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kate
Over and over again. Made you.
Shock
Yeah.
Kate
Made him watch.
Brandon
She watched me. I always was. So. I broke my. I broke every bone when I was a kid. So jealous of the kids that never broke a single bone.
Dan
I wasn't.
Kate
We were jealous of y'.
Mincy
All. Yeah.
Kate
We wanted.
Brandon
No way.
Mincy
Everybody.
Dan
We really did.
Kate
We wanted the signatures. I wanted the red cast.
Brandon
Not when you get to, like, when. I think I broke my wrist, like, three separate times. Not when you get to the third. You're just like this again.
Titus
The worst is the summer, and then you have, like, an Acme trash bag wrapped around in the. In the ocean.
Brandon
Guess what, though?
Titus
Embarrassing.
Brandon
The tech. They have waterproof gas now.
Titus
What?
Brandon
My son's cast has to get wet
Titus
every day so he can, like, go in the tub and stuff.
Mincy
Oh, that sucks.
Brandon
Kate. It has to get wet.
Titus
What?
Brandon
They're like, it has to get wet. He. No, that we're going to.
Shock
We're going.
Brandon
Next week's spring break, so I'll be out. We're going to Scottsdale.
Shock
He.
Brandon
He swims in it.
Titus
That's amazing.
Steven
He's.
Mincy
Can't sign that.
Titus
Remember ours?
Brandon
No, no, they put the. They put the stuff on this.
Mincy
Oh, they still put it on the outside. Yeah, you got to get the.
Brandon
But I was like, I remember having to take like one shower a week with a. With the trash bag over your leg dunk.
Titus
And you had to put a stick in it to like.
Dan
Yeah.
Titus
Drowned and it.
Mincy
Oh, yeah, you're right. Kyle showing up with a cast.
Kate
Yeah.
Mincy
Seventh grade. Oh, my God.
Kate
With a penis on.
Brandon
Oh, it's the biggest thing.
Mincy
You're the biggest star.
Kate
Sharpie penis. A sharpie massive on your seventh grade cast.
Titus
Little Statue of Liberty arm.
Mincy
And you get to leave class like 12 minutes early because. Yeah, yeah, I had a while to get.
Kate
When I had ringworm, I had to get quarantined in one corner of the classroom.
Brandon
Oh, no. They made you.
Kate
No one was allowed to get near me. I was like, it's not that contagious.
Brandon
That's brutal.
Kate
Yeah.
Mincy
Steve, if the kid had broken a broken hand, surely you would have tied the shoe?
Dan
Yeah.
Steven
If the kid had a broken hand or something like that, I think.
Mincy
Yeah.
Dan
What about required a broken bone from the 6 year old?
Mincy
What if he was blind?
Steven
I.
Mincy
What if it was very obviously.
Steven
I don't know how he'd be playing basketball.
Dan
That's good.
Mincy
It might be better.
Dan
That's true.
Kate
Yeah.
Brandon
You know what, Steven, let's do. Since. Since this is topical, let's do the shoe wall reveal. Because you would never tie a kid's shoes. Why don't you go out there?

I've been wearing mine to the gym.
Brandon
Yeah, they're very, very comfortable. Are you going look at those big scissors. The guy. And if any kids have no bowl, Steven will not tie their.
Dan
Nope.
Brandon
Hey, let's go. All right. Let's bring out the bag pipes.
Titus
Super.
Dan
If only.
Brandon
Man, oh man, I love those bag pipers. Did you find that? That's baseball. Clip from TAFE tj But I don't want. I can live with the missed call. I can live with what was the Royals World Series. The Eric Red game. Yeah, but that's. That's baseball. Like, that is baseball. That is baseball, guys. And we'll talk about. We'll hopefully find some more room in the show to talk baseball. We still got fan coming on. We got stock up, stock down. Still going to talk about the south region. It is a packed Monday here on Wagon Marshall. Don't go anywhere.
Kate
I run for president on that.
Brandon
That's baseball.
Kate
I thought that was it.
Brandon
Oh, so perfect. That might be Dave's now.
Kate
Yeah, it's his.
Dan
And I told him. We told him about it in the break and he just. It has not crossed his desk at all. The yog off the. The home by three guys. None of it.
Brandon
None of it.
Dan
None of it has crossed his desk.
Brandon
Those guys rock.
Dan
Those guys are awesome.
Brandon
They were great. Yeah. Jay Swish did like four updates to. To the Yug off on Friday. He just kept on being like. And last thing. There were a lot of excuses.
Dan
Well, they have a couple months to figure out what they're going to do for their home.
Brandon
I think the Yugo Matic is not making its way to Arizona.
Dan
Could they get. I don't know if we left it open ended that they could get a roster change. Could they get an actual NHL player in there? Probably because NHL players are the ones saying that's baseball.
Brandon
Yeah.
Mincy
I'm also worried about team Dana's locker room might be. Yeah, there might be a locker room divide there, Greg.
Tate
So when's the next game of the series? May we don't know.
Dan
We think May we don't want to know.
Titus
2020.
Tate
Yeah.
Brandon
Just question mark, question mark question.
Dan
Is it on them or is it on us too?
Brandon
I think it's on them. I said that we. I the one thing I said to him, I was like, we need to start working like some pyrotechnics, I think.
Dan
Okay. My question was when it's on, when it's Theirs. Are we going to do it live on the yak? Are we going to like take the yak out there?
Brandon
No, I think we'll probably do it. We'll figure it out. Like get maybe a good camera down
Dan
there with Dana and send a video
Brandon
to us or just do it live.
Dan
Okay.
Brandon
Back to us. Yeah, I wanna. I Greg, he kind of looks like Owen Hart. Does he not?
Dan
A little bit.
Tyler
Yeah.
Brandon
And I said, I was like I kind of want Greg to go down from a ceiling like Owen Hart. And Greg was like I'm down.
Dan
Did he know at all?
Brandon
No, not at all. Craig doesn't know a lot of.
Dan
I did get the sense that towards the end that I needed to pull him aside. Like he was taking some of it a little bit personally and I didn't want him to do that.
Brandon
Who gre.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
No, I don't think so. He was unflappable. I talked to him after, he was like that was the best day ever.
Dan
Good guy.
Kate
Good.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
No, he had a great.
Kate
Lord knows what he was thinking.
Dan
Us rooting for for the home by three guys. It's just how awesome they are.
Brandon
Correct.
Dan
Not really ever.
Brandon
And really just for a series for the.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
I don't want it to be a four game series.
Dan
Yeah, yeah. We might have to cook game three. We might have to put in the.
Brandon
Yeah, I mean they get to do whatever they want. They might be might be coming back Chicago.
Dan
They could even say slowest yoks. They could do whatever they want.
Joey
Yeah.
Kate
The patience.
Steven
Can I make a quick announcement?
Brandon
Yeah, please.
Steven
Today's a big day. He's not here right now but Nikki and I came up with a game about a year ago. It is live and it's on sale at Walmart today.
Titus
Yeah, at Walmart.
Kate
It's at Walmart.
Dan
Motherfucker. What?
Kate
Yeah, this is. I played it. It's amazing.
Tyler
Hey.
Kate
What Very fun.
Dan
You and Nick came up with a game that's in Walmart.
Steven
Yes, it came out today in Walmart.
Dan
I have not heard of this at all.
Steven
Yeah, we've tested with a few people. We did a stream that's going to be airing directly after the act on VVTV today and then we're going to be streaming every couple weeks, the next couple months. That's exciting.
Dan
That's amazing.
Titus
Can you tell me like the premise of it?
Steven
Yes, it's a social bluffing game. So it's from four to 10 players. It's called who's the bad guy. There is a character, looks like Big Cat. There's A character looks like Dave and you're trying to figure out who the bad guys where there's a lot of different wrinkles. Where it's unlike some games where you go to sleep for several nights. It could.
Dan
Right. It could be probably similar, though. Yeah.
Mincy
Yeah. Could.
Steven
You could go to sleep for one night.
Kate
It is not that.
Steven
But you try and figure out what the bad guy is. And there's lots of wrinkles where cars can get changed at night. And maybe you're acting under the assumption that you are something and something has been switched. So it's a very, very fun game. And check it out.
Tate
Our next. Our next Chug off is going to be against the creators of Wolverine or
Brandon
will we play it?
Dan
Jay.
Steven
Wolverine. We need like a table surface. It's it. We don't have to play it in this studio.
Dan
Yeah. We don't have that technology.
Steven
We have to. We have to. We have to be a little bit closer because cards get switched during the night. But yes, I can certainly organize a game very soon.
Brandon
I would like to play a game.
Steven
Okay.
Dan
Y' all make me feel worthless, man. You got something in Walmart.
Kate
Walmart.
Mincy
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah.
Steven
That's a big. That's. That's really cool. We are.
Dan
I've anything to. That's that cool.
Steven
Yeah. Thank you very much.
Dan
It's a. I've tied kids shoes.
Brandon
You went mantiquing.
Dan
I did with Steven.
Steven
Yeah. Actually, this will make you feel better. So I don't feel bad. The winds were really bad on Friday here. It was like 50 miles an hour.
Dan
Yeah.
Steven
Blew out the power at my son's school, so he had to leave early. So my plan was to just go with you. He didn't want to go to the card show, but then when he heard you were going, he was excited and he went, whoa.
Dan
Fantastic.
Brandon
Look at that.
Dan
My boy. Yeah, I liked it. He's a cool kid. Good time.
Brandon
He is cool kid.
Dan
Yeah. He likes. He knows what he's like. He knew all the players like my kid. Sometimes we open. He doesn't know all the players. And Chase kid did.
Titus
What was the highlight of the card show this year?
Dan
It was a lot. I had a lot of people like bring me cards like that Dak Prescott rookie. Somebody just gave it to me. And then somebody gave me that Dave Portnoy card. But. But it was. It was a good show. It's a. It's. This is the Chicago one, not the National. National's in August. That one's huge.
Brandon
Where's the National?
Dan
Same place. Rosemont.
Brandon
Oh, In Chicago.
Dan
In Chicago again this year. But yeah, it was. It was fun. I enjoy it.
Tate
Should we be worried about Nick?
Dan
I think just the weather today caused a lot of people.
Brandon
Not yesterday and today. Yeah, it was really bad.
Dan
It's just impossible to get into Chicago.
Tate
Six hour delay.
Brandon
I'm worried about this team. Your team tonight.
Mincy
Oh, same.
Steven
Well, one of the guys is coming in about 10 or 15 minutes.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
I think one of them is going to come do the gauntlet.
Dan
Oh, wow.
Titus
Are any of these guys still playing or they're.
Brandon
I don't. They were stars in there mostly like last any overseas?
Mincy
I don't know.
Brandon
I don't think they wouldn't be.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah, probably. Tyler Hansbrough is like a really good pickleball player.
Dan
When did Chalmers stop playing? I. I like the.
Brandon
Let me look it up.
Kate
Like I wouldn't worry about the skill gap.
Titus
Who's the best player on the Joe's retired.
Mincy
I think he's.
Dan
We don't have any good players.
Titus
No.
Dan
And we always win a game. Are you playing me? Yeah. No, I think I might be staying.
Brandon
No, you're not.
Dan
No, I. I got asked today. Oh.
Brandon
Because it's out to call it.
Dan
You have to call it.
Brandon
Mario chalmers, last played 2023.
Dan
Oh. So he had been.
Brandon
He's a two time MBA.
Dan
15 year career.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kate
Out of Alaska.
Titus
Also big height difference. I was looking at the heights of.
Dan
Yeah.
Titus
These fellas.
Mincy
I feel like Marshall Henderson's gonna be the star.
Brandon
Yes. Psycho T on.
Mincy
On the court.
Brandon
And oh, it says Brandon Paul is still active. I don't know.
Titus
Is there a shot? Somebody throws up a Hail Mary and ends this thing quick though. Like could that happen?
Brandon
No, I don't think it's.
Shock
It's.
Brandon
They're playing actual G. What are you guys playing to full court?
Titus
I think.
Dan
I don't think.
Brandon
No. But what's the score? You're playing too.
Dan
We need. We need to ask tape. I don't know.
Brandon
Oh, I don't know. Come down.
Dan
They're playing one. 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, 5v5. And then if they don't win, it's five. It's six on five and the seven on five, that's eight on five goes all the way up.
Mincy
But it is. It is like. It's not like you described, Kate, where you could just make one shot because.
Dan
Yeah.
Titus
I was thinking that could have one v one.
Mincy
Yeah. If it was that, then yeah.
Titus
Okay.
Mincy
But no, it could be over.
Brandon
My prediction is I think the Joes will win at like 15 to 3.
Dan
Yeah. By that time though the pros are probably sworn to leave.
Shock
Yeah.
Brandon
When do you think they'll win?
Shock
I would be embarrassed if.
Brandon
If it gets to 15 to 1. You guys are.
Kate
Yeah.
Shock
That's bad. That's bad.
Dan
What if the. But what if the person was at one on one.
Shock
I was talking to Coach pft. Nikki Smokes thinks he can win.
Dan
Okay.
Brandon
Against one of these guys. Oh and then.
Shock
But also like Rico Bosco would be a great.
Brandon
No no no wait. Nikki Smokes thinks he can beat.
Dan
He wants. What do you think Dan? You think he wouldn't think he was going to win?
Brandon
I just that's.
Dan
He's a moron.
Brandon
But we learned this remember when scalabrini did the 1 verse 2 these guys scalabrine challenged anyone and guys and he would just dominate them.
Titus
Him.
Shock
Yeah. I think it's.
Brandon
And some of these guys are way way better than Brian Scott.
Dan
What do you play him?
Shock
Tyler Hansbro's here. Can I go get him and come back?
Brandon
Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Shock
We're playing to 11. It's half court until it becomes five on five, six on five, whatever. One by ones and twos.
Brandon
Oh my God you guys that could take.
Shock
I said seven. Lucas said 15.
Dan
It needs to be seven. All right.
Shock
Make that switch. Rules committee.
Brandon
All right.
Dan
He said 15.
Mincy
Said 15. He wanted to play ones and twos.
Dan
1, 2, 3, 4. He want to play 20 games to 15.
Brandon
Lucas. You play the seven.
Dan
Lucas.
Brandon
That is crazy dude.
Tate
Does it make it take it.
Brandon
You can always adjust it during it. That's not something I just don't want to. If we make it seven it goes too quick.
Dan
It's not going to go quick is it?
Tate
Is it make it take it Titans.
Dan
Well the pro.
Mincy
I mean the pro. Well for the pros but.
Dan
Yeah but they don't go as quick as they wanted to go.
Brandon
Right.
Dan
Right.
Titus
Have Rico and Lucas made up? Are they cool now?
Dan
They did make up and then Lucas just kept going at him anyway so I. I doubt it.
Titus
Okay.
Mincy
Wow.
Dan
Which I kind of respect out of
Mincy
Lucas cuz Rico's got his mind elsewhere too.
Dan
Yeah.
Mincy
Like I think. I think now's the time for Lucas to take his shots and not have Rico.
Kate
Yeah.
Mincy
Respond really. Cuz he's. He's locked in on. You know what I mean so.
Dan
Well, I mean say that but they. They absolutely just blindsided and wanting to do this morning on national TV and got the response they wanted to out of Rico. We had.
Tate
We did we saying they.
Dan
We Didn't.
Tate
We were part of it.
Dan
I was a part of it. We didn't do in Bosco on national TV today. That's. That's.
Kate
Yeah. That's amazing.
Dan
Yeah. I don't know if it is.
Kate
Every day
Dan
we were.
Kate
What's he up to?
Dan
Who? He was just playing the same. He was playing the hits. I think he is starting to circle back. You know how he gets in his moods of now. He wants to work at barstool and he wants to negotiate. I think we're in negotiation time, right?
Kate
Yeah.
Dan
I think he's starting to sniff around Gaz. And Gaz is sniffing around him like he's 19. Yeah. This is afterwards.
Brandon
Disavowed. Disavow. That was national television.
Dan
Yeah.
Kate
This scene is also.
Dan
No, this isn't. This is afterwards. It was. We really had a lot of trust. Nobody was gonna cuss there. This is a very slow follow right here.
Mincy
How'd they go?
Dan
All right. Just walked in here to circle around.
Tate
We'll never know how it went.
Dan
Now you wonder what the walk was for.
Titus
Let's go back.
Brandon
See my kids trucks.
Dan
Yeah. This is helpful. Where's he going here? I don't know. But make definitely.
Brandon
Okay.
Dan
That wasn't very eventful, to be honest.
Brandon
No.
Dan
Yes.
Brandon
Shouldn't have done that to him.
Dan
I didn't do it.
Brandon
You're part of it.
Dan
That was Gaz and Dave.
Brandon
I'm gonna find who did it.
Dan
And maybe Fanta. He had a nefarious look on his face. Fanta joined from the New York New York airport this morning after getting off a plane and just set up his camera in the middle of the terminal. And it was just hilarious watching people walk behind him because he is not holding. He's doing his thing. He's. And there will just be kids walking by on their parents leash just looking at him. It was.
Kate
That's a professional.
Dan
Very funny to watch.
Brandon

Brandon
Where'd Stephen go? Stephen, you got any thought starters?
Steven
Yeah, keep bringing up my latest tweet. I have a. Oh, potentially a world changing idea.
Dan
Oh my God. Oh, world change going to be velcro shoes.
Steven
I can't believe this hasn't been thought of before. I thought of this morning while walking my dog. Why are we not throwing snowplows in the front of school buses? This feels like the most no brainer of all time.
Brandon
Ambulances. No school buses. I can see it.
Steven
Yeah, I got an email like buses are delayed this morning.
Dan
Okay.
Steven
Why just have one on the front of the school bus? Problem solved. These are already commercial vehicles, are they not? So like you should have a CDL2.
Dan
No, he's definitely wrong. I just don't know how he's wrong. Don't the plows have to go off the side? Don't they have.
Brandon
I don't think we can go with our knee jerk reaction just being like he's wrong every time. I think he might be right here.
Steven
How I cannot believe this hasn't been thought.
Dan
Something about kids on a snowplow.
Titus
A bunch of kids in the bus. Bus is the first one to see the road ahead of it.
Tate
And wouldn't the school bus kind of have to wake up at like 3am
Dan
all right, the kids not saying the
Steven
school bus and the ambulances are the first ones out.
Dan
The kid gets off the bus, runs around and runs right into the plow part.
Brandon
But that wouldn't. I don't know if that would make it so that the school buses could operate just because they could plow the snow in front of them.
Tate
Right.
Steven
But like think about a school buses is has a distinct area in its district where it's going on some like side streets, some small streets. Probably most of the road is plowed. But there are some streets that probably aren't plowed.
Brandon
But aren't they delayed just because it's slower driving?
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
Not because it's not that they're like, things are getting plowed. It's just slower driving.
Dan
It's also not just the buses. It's keeping the kids and the parents off the road. Too.
Brandon
True.
Titus
And also the bus drivers getting to the bus depot.
Dan
It's everybody.
Brandon
Right. But I like teachers getting delay isn't just that the bus can't drive because there's snow in front.
Dan
The delays for everybody.
Steven
I'm not saying this is like a silver bullet solution for everything. But like for example, ambulance. There are going to be some times if someone is like in labor, someone has a heart attack, whatever. It's snowing out. There's a ton of stuff there. Why are we not just throwing a plow on the front of it? Maybe someone lives in a remote area, it hasn't been plowed yet.
Dan
You're wrong.
Steven
I might have changed the world.
Dan
You definitely didn't. They would have thought about that first.
Titus
But wait, is there rural areas that have snowplow ambulances? There might. Is that a thing?
Dan
I hate it.
Steven
There should be.
Titus
It might be a thing somewhere.
Mincy
I like this idea.
Titus
I don't know.
Brandon
He might be onto something.
Steven
I feel like I think this is snowplows is just like hoarding the plows.
Shock
Oh.
Titus
Like they don't want anybody else because they are very territorial.
Steven
Right?
Titus
Yeah.
Steven
So just give them to everybody.
Brandon
Yeah. You might be right.
Mincy
It might be right.
Brandon
I said when you were gone, like we can't do the knee jerk chase wrong on everything. Like, I think he might be right.
Titus
Cloud trucks are gatekeeping.
Brandon
Ambulance. I still don't feel good about.
Steven
I feel better about ambulance than school bus, to be honest. Just because really it's unpredictable when you need an ambulance. A lot of roads might not have
Titus
been slow it down.
Brandon
I would think ambulances just drive. The ambulances don't just drive around.
Steven
What do you mean?
Brandon
Like they're. They leave to go get someone, then they come back. They're not just like.
Tate
Yeah, when needed.
Brandon
They're not like police officers just driving around.
Steven
I think if somebody lives in like if somebody's having a baby or a heart attack or whatever in like a. A rural area that, you know, maybe the plows haven't gotten to yet. And it is currently snowing. Throw a plow on that thing.
Tate
You know what I saw yesterday? I was on my way to the airport in New York. Fire truck zooms past us with its sirens on. And then like we keep going a couple blocks and we see there's a holdup. It turned out the fire truck hit a Car. And so they. They stopped in the middle of the street. Stopped, like, to whatever scene they were going to report to. To do the old, like, give us your information.
Brandon
Car not getting out of the way.
Tate
I. I don't know. I didn't see the actual crash, but.
Brandon
Huh. It's.
Tate
You would think they would just keep going. That burning. That building's still burning.
Brandon
Yeah.
Tate
I don't know. Never thought about it. Must not have been that much of an emergency.
Brandon
No.
Titus
Right.
Brandon
Did you go into the New York office?
Tate
Yeah, I was there on Friday.
Brandon
Nice.
Titus
How's the apartment?
Brandon
I love the apartment.
Tate
Yeah. I love the concept.
Brandon
Yeah, It's a great concept.
Dan
Yeah.
Tate
I mean, it was a dump, but that's the goal. As soon as they start making more money, get more views, I do think
Brandon
we have to live in it. I texted Tommy. I was like, great idea. I feel like eventually someone's got to live there.
Tate
Oh, yeah.
Steven
Yeah.
Tate
Well, I think that's the whole thing. Like, they will once they make enough money to get a bed. Yeah, like that. But, yeah, just like a garden apartment in Manhattan.
Titus
The apartment.
Tate
Subscribe. Subscribe for Jackie's credit score, please.
Brandon
Yeah, she put it on hers.
Tate
Yeah, I tweeted, like, oh, maybe she'll move to Chicago, buys a second apartment in New York.
Brandon
Not gonna happen.
Dan
Maybe you'll move to New York is what she's thinking.
Tyler
Yeah.
Tate
There's a place to stay now.
Brandon
You got a boom boom pad there.
Tate
Tommy Smokes is who's going to be the first to.
Brandon
In the apartment. That's.
Tate
That's one of the narratives. Tommy's.
Mincy
I thought Dan was about to say he was going to be the second.
Tate
Yeah, we don't need a bed, you dog. Had I known that was Tommy's whole goal, things might have been different, but I found out after the fact. Side note, I'm going back this weekend. Just kidding.
Dan
Okay.
Tyler
Oh.
Dan
Oh, man.
Brandon
Damn. He's part of the Fordham patrol.
Titus
I went to Fordham. You did Fordham patrol? Yeah.
Dan
What?
Titus
That's where I graduated from.
Tate
What?
Dan
You.
Brandon
You've.
Dan
You've gone to nine colleges.
Titus
I thought it was about field 3.9 GPA, baby.
Tyler
What?
Titus
Yes.
Tate
You've lied to us in the past.
Titus
Then you said I. I dropped that IEP. But then, like, 10 years later, I
Kate
graduated from Fordham while you were at barstool. Did you do online classes? Was that.
Titus
No, I, like, went in person.
Brandon
By the way, Cards are live.
Dan
Cards alive.
Brandon
Cards are live. Cards alive. Cards alive. Cards are lied.
Steven
Twitter.
Dan
All right, it's 130. What do you guys think cards alive?
Titus
Cards are live.
Dan
There's twice as many cards.
Brandon
Hopefully this works better, that people aren't gonna get screwed.
Dan
The limit's smaller and there's twice as many cards.
Tate
And TJ's not buying any this time.
Brandon
Cards are live.
Titus
I say 2 minutes, 38 seconds.
Dan
I think it'll be longer. I think it's twice as many cards.
Titus
Okay.
Dan
And the limit's only three packs, not five.
Tate
Six minutes, 37 seconds.
Shock
Four.
Titus
Some fun things. Who was the person Double signing cards? Was it Chef? Donnie was also signed a few.
Dan
Or no. White Sox Dave.
Titus
White Sox Dave signed. There's some fun rogue signatures on some.
Dan
You have the one of one zone.
Tate
Yeah, I want that.
Dan
People that he hates. I don't even know if he's back there.
Titus
And wait, what's the 501? Brandon, you're giving someone 500, right?
Dan
No, no, no, no. Dan put on his cards, Brandon will give you 500.
Titus
Yeah, so?
Dan
That doesn't sound. I didn't.
Titus
Somebody's gonna be 500 richer.
Dan
There you go. When your pack arrives, Brandon will give you $500. You got the again. All right, you know what? Fuck it. I'll do it. Why not? Yeah, why not?
Mincy
Do they have to see you in public? Or they get the card. They can just tweet it at you.
Dan
I think they tweeted at me. And I'll Venmo.
Brandon
$500.
Dan
Yeah.
Titus
Okay.
Dan
They gotta have the card. They can't have a picture of the card. You gotta have it next to their face.
Brandon
I bought a pack.
Dan
You got in.
Brandon
Oh, so, yeah, available. Bought a pack. Okay, one pack.
Dan
We're all buying packs.
Brandon
I mean, I wanted one.
Kate
You've paid for your order confirmation. 120.
Brandon
Halfway gone.
Dan
All right, that's one minute. Really closer to two.
Tate
Take it lost.
Titus
Oh, perhaps.
Dan
You buying more, dan?
Brandon
No.
Dan
Oh, okay. Sorry.
Titus
I had a lovely yacker who is a birder send us which birds we are.
Dan
Yeah, what are they?
Titus
Titus, you are a sandhill crane.
Mincy
Sandhill.
Dan
Oh, that's a good bird.
Brandon
That's bravado.
Titus
Tall, handsome. This is from David, by the way. Birds of house.
Mincy
Oh, I like that bird.
Titus
That's big cat. You're a great horned owl.
Brandon
Okay.
Titus
Entertaining leader.
Tate
Big.
Brandon
Oh, relentless, funny, approachable cat.
Titus
Like.
Brandon
Okay, Titus, great horned owl.
Kate
Yeah.
Brandon
So what is.
Dan
What is.
Mincy
Brandon, you lit up when you heard Sando crane. Is that a bird?
Dan
I pass them. I pass them about every day. Yeah. Okay.
Mincy
Yeah, that's great.
Brandon
Then a great horned owl.
Titus
Yeah, they're. They're the ones with the ears.
Brandon
Oh, that's a badass one.
Titus
I, like, turn their heads really far.
Brandon
Appreciate that.
Titus
Brandon. You're a crested cara. Cara.
Dan
What is that big?
Titus
You're larger than life. Good hair.
Dan
What?
Titus
Temperamental southern what? Heel.
Brandon
Oh, yeah, that is you, Brandon. You could just see that bird saying
Dan
yes.
Titus
Often steals food from others, picks fights.
Dan
Okay, that's a good bird.
Brandon
That's a good.
Dan
What are you, Kate?
Titus
I am a. A kill deer. It's like one of those little piping plovers.
Tyler
Sold out.
Kate
Oh, it's a piping sold out.
Titus
Thank you to everybody who bought him.
Brandon
Thank you, everyone who bought 1000. 5000. Holy.
Dan
We just sold 5000 packs of cards.
Titus
Holy.
Brandon
Shout out the yak. Oh, thank you, guys. Like, I want to do the second set. Maybe, like, I had a. A thought. What if we, like, did them at the national over the summer and we could sell them in person to people? But that was just a thought that came into my head. I don't know if that's a dream come true. That would be.
Titus
That'd be fun.
Brandon
Psycho T, what's up, yo?
Titus
Welcome. Hi, I'm Kate.
Mincy
Hello.
Dan
Hello. Kyle.
Tyler
Good to see you, man.
Brandon
How's it going?
Dan
Yeah, that was the.
Brandon
That was. What's up, man? You excited for this? Here, pull the. Pull the mic in front of your face there. You excited for this?
Tyler
I'm excited. A little worried.
Brandon
What are you worried about?
Tyler
Getting injured?
Brandon
Yeah. That's fair. That's totally fair. Especially because we got a bunch of clumsy idiots.
Mincy
True.
Brandon
Oh, what do you think about that coffee? That's my coffee.
Dan
Have some coffee.
Brandon
See something nice.
Dan
Oh, man.
Tyler
Little. Pick me up.
Brandon
There we go. All right, good. Yeah, Good review. Great review.
Tate
Oh.
Dan
All right.
Brandon
So, yeah, this is gonna be a fun stream. I think it's gonna be. I mean, you guys are gonna come out looking awesome because I don't see you. I don't see you losing until there's probably, like, at minimum 12 guys on the court here. Pull that mic just a little closer.
Tyler
Yeah, so I haven't played in probably five or six years.
Brandon
Okay.
Tyler
It's been a minute.
Dan
And still look in good shape.
Tyler
Yeah, I still work out. Just. I don't play much basketball, but I did get. Get a little work in this week. Worked on the jump hook, but as far as me getting up to about 100, that's not going to happen. Yeah, there's some high consequences for that in your 40, but I don't know. I feel like Jay Will's one of Those guys that probably hoops a lot.
Brandon
Yep.
Tyler
And Marshall Henderson probably seems like one of those dudes, too, so.
Brandon
And you got a couple guys. Doug, just like, he was playing younger guys.
Mincy
Yeah.
Brandon
Two years ago. Don't they have a loyal Chicago guy? Was playing a few years ago. So you got some younger guys in their 20s.
Tyler
Yeah.
Dan
You got Mark Titus.
Mincy
And you got Mark, of course.
Titus
Harlem Globetrotter.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
Are you. Are you awesome? I'm not laughing.
Tyler
It wasn't.
Mincy
That was a fair reaction.
Brandon
That wasn't the way you took it.
Titus
Laugh.
Mincy
I mean, it was a fair reaction.
Tyler
I mean, we got a lot to lose if we come out here and get smacked, too.
Brandon
I mean, you're not gonna get playing
Dan
a bunch of losers.
Tyler
I'm not worried about that.
Brandon
We didn't win a intramural game.
Tyler
Game.
Brandon
We were owing six in intramural back.
Mincy
Yeah. Against, like. Yeah, this office is terrible at basketball. We'll be fine. The bigger. The biggest concern is. You're absolutely right. Is getting hurt. It's just like them being clumsy and. And. And just like them being tired and like a hard foul when you go to the basket.
Tyler
A hard foul.
Mincy
Yeah, like one of those.
Brandon
I don't think you got.
Tyler
I talked to our issues.
Mincy
Yeah.
Shock
We do have refs coming in tonight, too. We're gonna. Gonna take it easy on the pros.
Mincy
I told him Nikki smokes saying nothing. Easy as he just takes your head.
Shock
White Sox. Dave's playing.
Mincy
Yeah. That's the real issue.
Shock
I think Big T's trying to throw. Throw some bows around a little bit.
Brandon
So we'll see. Big T is not.
Dan
He's not. Yeah. He's a pillow.
Brandon
You don't have to worry about that. Are you awesome at pickleball now?
Tyler
I'm not good as I want to be. Probably like the 4 or 5.
Brandon
That's really good, right?
Tyler
5 O's considered, like, pretty. Pretty good.
Brandon
Are you playing a lot?
Tyler
Like four or five times a week to it? Yeah. I was playing with my brother, my younger brother Ben, and he played a lot of tennis. I played a lot of ping pong. So pickleball was kind of the middle ground.
Brandon
Yeah.
Tyler
So we picked up some paddles and played one day, and we both got addicted to it. We love it. He's in construction. He's a developer. And so one day I was standing out at his house, and I was like, yo, we need to move a bunch of your. Your equipment. Let's just put some pickleball courts. So we put in three courts at his house in Kentucky. And so he plays and trains every day. He's gotten on a different level. He's. He's quite a bit better than me, so we don't really pair up much anymore, but my younger brother's a real deal.
Brandon
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah. He can go get a it.
Brandon
Are you living in Kentucky? Are you living in North Carolina?
Tyler
No, I'm in North Carolina. I go back and forth a little bit.
Brandon
But I think I might have asked you this when you came on pmt, but how sweet is it that you just get to wear Carolina blue all the time?
Tyler
It is the best color.
Brandon
It is when.
Tyler
When you're surrounded by it every day everywhere. Like, I don't know. I mean, I look at the,
Shock
you
Tyler
know, it's the, the water tower. It's Carolina blue blue. And I'm sitting there thinking, how much paint did it take to get that whole water tower blue?
Tate
Yeah.
Kate
I've thought.
Tyler
And the fire trucks are blue. I mean, urinals are blue. Carolina blue. I'm just like. I mean, I like the color, but it's a lot.
Mincy
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah. Slapped in my face everywhere I go.
Brandon
So when you go somewhere else, that's when you can pop the Carolina blue.
Tyler
Oh, I rock it regardless.
Brandon
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah. So it is the best color, plus, you know, Jordan.
Brandon
Yeah.
Tyler
Jumpman logo. That's pretty sick, too.
Mincy
Yeah, that's pretty good.
Tyler
I like.
Brandon
Hell, yeah. Is it still Duke? It is.
Tyler
I mean.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
Forever. Yeah.
Dan
Sorry.
Brandon
Thank you. All right, good.
Tyler
Duke sucks. And Duke will always.
Brandon
Yeah, I always tell people that. Yeah.
Tyler
Him.
Brandon
Yeah. Hell, yes.
Tyler
No, it is what it is.
Brandon
I love that I, I, I'm right, right there with you.
Kate
I hate Duke.
Brandon
In the ass, in the face.
Dan
Were you.
Mincy
You were at the game this year when you guys beat Duke on the last second shot, right?
Tyler
I was on the call.
Dan
Yeah.
Mincy
You're on the call.
Dan
I was on the radio.
Mincy
I assumed you were. I assume you're. You're at the game. Did John Shire get punched? Did you see.
Brandon
Yeah, they were still looking for the guy. I haven't slept in four weeks.
Tyler
You know, I told somebody this. You know, I was right there. I was on the radio. I was at the scores table. I didn't see it. I'm not saying he's a liar. I'm not saying, you know, it happened, but if I'm John Shire, I walk into the locker room, I find assistant coach and I, I cold clock him right in his face. I tell him, I'm like, yo, one of these Carolina fans did that to you.
Brandon
Just lied.
Tyler
Lied My balls off to the press and said, we got mugged out here. Yeah. Stormed the court. But what I really like about that is it was a double court storm, which is pretty rare.
Brandon
Yeah.
Tyler
And it was madness trying to get everybody off the court, but it's a beautiful ending. We didn't control one second of that game. Lucky to win it, but glad we did.
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it was also just very Duke. Whenever they lose, they make sure that it's something not about the game, it's something bigger. Yeah.
Mincy
Don't talk about how they lost. Talk about this.
Brandon
Yeah.
Mincy
Larger discussion of port Storming.
Brandon
Yeah.
Mincy
Ethics or how.
Brandon
Or how the games aren't important. And it's just, you know, more about like. Like student athletes, all that. It's like, no, you can't just say, hey, we lost. That's not the Duke way. It was gonna squirt out of it. Do you want to do the Gauntlet? Have they told you. Has Tate told you about the Gauntlet?
Tyler
So I. I've seen it a few times. I'm not really sure what the Gauntlet entails. I mean, I see the corno. That might be a struggle right there.
Brandon
You got this. We've had a lot of professional athletes do it.
Tyler
I'm not going to turn it down.
Brandon
I'm not the only one.
Tyler
Come here. Like, nah, I'm scared of the Gauntlet.
Dan
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah. Might as well give it a run.
Brandon
Yeah. All right, so it's.
Tyler
Get some of your coffee rolling through.
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah.
Dan
There we go.
Steven
Yeah.
Brandon
Put up a high number. You know what, Tate?
Dan
Why don't you do.
Tyler
Do a run?
Dan
You want me to?
Brandon
Yeah.
Kate
Get out there.
Mincy
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah. And that way Tyler can see you do it. What are you going to say?
Mincy
Steven?
Brandon
Brandon's so happy we were doing the B. Cuz you can just leave in a second.
Mincy
Is Psycho T a nickname that you still embrace as you've grown older? Or do you think there will be a time in your life. Life when you're like, that was the old me. I'm not.
Brandon
Please stop.
Tyler
I think even if I did, I'm not really sure it'd go away.
Mincy
Yeah.
Tyler
It's not like I. I ever really fully embraced it. Honestly. The guy who gave it to me, strength coach at unc, he stopped calling me Psycho T once. Everybody else did, so I don't know. I mean, I'm pretty laid back guy off the court, so. Not really sure. It's like a really good description, but. But I get it. I liked it. It was cool.
Mincy
It was meant As a compliment, but. Yes. Yeah.
Brandon
But I think it's now.
Mincy
And now comes awesome nickname.
Titus
Yeah.
Mincy
But I imagine it comes with an expectation. Like if you're out at a bar, someone's like just staring at you, waiting for you to just like smash the glass on your face or something.
Tyler
You know, the college days, I, you know, I could get, you know, get me 10 or 12 beers in me. I, I might do something like that. But nowadays that would be a bad look, especially since I was a professor last semester.
Mincy
You were?
Tyler
Yeah.
Brandon
What?
Tyler
Yeah, so I, I taught a class. I was co professor, sports communication in the journalism school at unc.
Brandon
That's awesome. Have you. I know you've probably been asked this a million times, but have you thought about what you would have made in nil? Because it would have been pretty significant.
Tyler
Yeah, I mean, man, there's some bad NIL deals out there, and I just think about it.
Shock
But.
Tyler
But, you know, a lot of people ask me about that, and I'm glad I didn't grow up or play in the NIL air. And the reason I say that is because the year we won it, we had been together for four years and that's pretty rare now.
Brandon
Yeah.
Tyler
And Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington, you know, Ed Davis, one of those guys, they would have taken a lot of money somewhere else. It would have been possible to keep that team together. And there's a lot of things in college that money can't buy. And I think I got that at Carolina.
Brandon
I agree with that, that I think about that a lot with some of the guys that are getting. And good for them, they're getting the money, but they don't really have a home.
Dan
Yeah.
Kate
The value of relationship building, community building, staying at one school, knowing the ropes, it just the comfort, I think it's.
Mincy
And having a home to go back to. Like you. You now live in Carolina and that's like, that's your, your embrace. You didn't grow up there. Right. But now that's your place. And that wouldn't have been the case probably. If you're bouncing around, you wouldn't have probably gone back to one of the four schools you went to, you know.
Tyler
No, you're 100% right. Carolina will always be home in some aspect. But the other thing that, you know, wasn't really mentioned is like, coaching has kind of changed. I don't think that the great coaches like Coach Williams, some of these other coaches that have kind of retired, I don't really feel like they're able to have that impact because Kids are coming in and out after one year, and that's a huge deal for me. I learned a lot from Coach Williams. Watching him work and, you know, and being able to be coached by him for four years, you know, that was. That had a huge impact on me, how I handled my life, and, you know, it was a good role model for me.
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah. All right, Tate, you ready?
Tate
Tate, don't be nervous.
Brandon
Don't be nervous. So you're basically going station to station. You're gonna start with cornhole. Then you gotta keep kick a soccer ball. Then you got to hit a home run, throw a ball through the flash. IV body armor. Three pointer. Three pointer. Then you come back for trivia. So we'll.
Tyler
Trivia?
Brandon
Yeah, but trivia is not so bad. It's. It's basically just a. It's like a whole board, and you can pick any subject you want to do, and you just got to get 10. Right. You'll see it. All right, ready? Ready, Tate? All right. Three, two, one, go. So you just gotta get one cornhole. And these guys will help. Oh, and then you gotta score, so you get three. These three shots. If you don't score in the first three shots, you can shoot from anywhere. So you can go right up to the goal. Oh, wow. So now you can score from everybody anywhere. There it is. Home run. Is anything above this level right here? That's a home run. Yep.
Dan
Football.
Tyler
Jesus.
Brandon
Three pointer. Three pointer. Nice.
Mincy
Here we go, Tate.
Brandon
Come on, Tate. You had Tyler. Tyler was impressed after the first one.
Tate
Good time.
Dan
Good time.
Brandon
All right, then there's trivia. So see, you can pick any of these subjects. All you got to get is 10. Right? Total, so you can bounce around. Five MLB teams never won a World Series.
Shock
Cherry, lemon, lime, orange, Lime. Never won a World Series.
Brandon
You know, one of them boy Indians, that
Dan
blue.
Shock
No, they won. Devonte Adams, Jordy Nelson, Donald Driver. Blue, Purple. Purple. Sorry. Purple. Honda, Toyota, Ford. Got to be close.
Brandon
Time. 207. It's pretty good. It's a pretty good time.
Mincy
Any of those categories stand out? Tyler, something you would.
Brandon
Wait, the Indians did win one way, way, way back.
Shock
You go to me into that one.
Brandon
Yeah, I did my bad. Raise. Rockies, Mariners, Brewers, Padres. All right, Tyler, you're up. Let Tyler know it's not those categories. It's not those categories.
Dan
Yeah. Yeah.
Brandon
So it'll be totally different. And we'll help you
Tyler
straight from the point.
Brandon
Is Doug here?
Shock
No, he had a different commitment. He's fired up, though.
Tyler
Love that.
Shock
There's a lot of people really excited to play against this guy.
Brandon
Are there any. Are there any people that's a name
Shock
that carried some weight?
Brandon
Are there any people that did not make. Make it who are not going to make it?
Shock
Evan Ravenel is in Tampa. His flight got canceled.
Brandon
Okay.
Shock
Mario Chalmers. We are really hoping his flight's supposed to take off at 2:20. Jay, Will's here. Marshall Henderson's here. Brandon Paul's here. Tyler's here. Doug's here.
Brandon
I think that's enough.
Kate
That'll do it.
Brandon
Tyler signed a waiver.
Shock
Tyler did sign a waiver.
Brandon
So go from here to there.
Dan
Yeah, I got you. We're going cornhole to soccer. Soccer or baseball, but I'll be with you. I'll tell you what to do.
Brandon
All right, Ready? Three, two, one, go. He's a legend.
Mincy
He looks like he's in playing shape, too.
Kate
He is in great shape. He'll be fine.
Mincy
Absolute legend.
Brandon
But it does suck it, like, he is kind of in it. It's a tough spot because guys are gonna try to. Try to make, you know, like, hey, I scored on Tyler Hansen.
Shock
Oh, yeah. There's gonna be so many highlight reels coming up.
Kate
He's a loose cannon too. He said about Duke.
Brandon
He was right. All right, Tyler, here we go. Get going.
Mincy
You beat the Duke at Duke four straight years, Kyle.
Kate
Oh, that is insane.
Mincy
That, like. Like, it's so hard to win there. And he won there for short. Oh, that is crazy.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
Why do they call him Psycho T? Does he have, like, a temper on the court?
Mincy
No, he. He's just like, relentless with his work ethic.
Brandon
He also has, like a very.
Mincy
He's one of. He's one of.
Shock
His face basically begging for more.
Titus
Oh, yeah, Kate.
Mincy
He's one of, like, the five to ten best college basketball players of all time.
Brandon
He was just like, oh, wow. Just a great.
Kate
I remember the name.
Tate
Sure.
Kate
For sure.
Shock
He threw cornhole for a minute. He's gonna shatter at time.
Titus
Brandon, more of a sweet tea guy guy. No.
Dan
What?
Titus
Brandon's more of a sweet tea guy. Brandon's more of a. A sweet tea guy.
Brandon
All right, here we go.
Mincy
Teams in Florida, pro teams in Florida.
Brandon
Yeah, Just rip them. You get those talking the mic and rip them.
Kate

And games to 11. We can switch it to seven if it gets.
Shock
Tyler, do you know the format? Do you know?
Tyler
No.
Shock
It's going one on one. So you guys will have a coach.
Tyler
Willow. Coach.
Shock
One on one. Anytime we beat you, the stream ends and then it becomes 2 on 2, 3 on 3, 4 on 4. And then after 5 on 5, only we add players. So it'd be 5 on 6, 5 on 7, until we finally beat you. So do you think 13 on 5 we would beat you guys? 14 on 5, half.
Mincy
They're terrible.
Shock
We're bad.
Dan
He's thinking about it.
Brandon
Yeah, but who would hope so?
Tyler
I mean, I don't know. I mean, they really want to keep playing and winning. I mean, it could go. Go on for a little bit.
Shock
Well, that's where it gets interesting.
Brandon
If 13 on 5, you can just have two guys just standing under the other hoop.
Shock
I mean, Blutman's playing, Minty's playing.
Dan
Yeah. But if the other team just kept one back to guard them, I think that's enough.
Mincy
Really good shooters playing.
Shock
Tate, Doug Edert.
Dan
No, no, on our team,
Shock
we don't have any really.
Dan
Probably you, right, Shock?
Shock
Yeah, I mean me, Nikki smokes.
Brandon
The thing is, how are they gonna get T Bob's.
Shock
We do have some size T. Bob Cadex playing.
Dan
Oh, that's not big.
Titus
T's a big guy.
Shock
Big T. Tyler, this is what happens. If you beat us 15 on five, you start losing players. So then you start going down 15 on 4, 15 on 3. If you beat us 15 on 3, that's just. That's bad. That's bad news for us.
Tyler
I think you guys would get that.
Brandon
Yeah, I mean, I think. I think 15 on 4 is where it's gonna end.
Shock
I want them. I get like, at any point they can be like, all right, it. I hope they beat us or I hope they go hard until it starts going the other way. If you can beat us like 15 on 4, that's an extremely embarrassing look for bars.
Brandon
Oh, I think it has to be
Dan
seven if you're playing this many games. It can't be 11 every time.
Shock
I agree. It's full court only when it becomes the 5 and 6 and 7.
Dan
So it's half court until.
Shock
Yeah.
Titus
Cuz is there a rule where the big chunk of guys like can't. Half of them can't hang back and cherry pick or we can do whatever you can. Okay. Cuz I was going to say for you guys, I think the biggest issue is cardio. Eventually it's going to be a real.
Brandon
But we're so bad that you could. Like the thing is you guys could. Even if it's like say it's 14 on 5, you could just. Just pack the paint and just be like, go ahead, shoot.
Mincy
That's why I asked who are the good shooters?
Brandon
Right. Because that's like you could just not play defense and let them shoot and they're not going to make more than half of them. And then you just got to make.
Shock
Rico's our shooter. Rico.
Brandon
Yeah. Because rebounds shouldn't be a problem.
Shock
Loyola, dude. Six, seven.
Brandon
Yeah.
Shock
Tyler's big.
Brandon
This is gonna be a fun stream. Very fun stream.
Dan
Any regrets?
Tyler
None yet. I wish I would have dusted off my cornhole game before I came up here, but no, I'm good. I think the young guy is going to be able to go up and down a little bit more than I will.
Tate
Yeah.
Brandon
All right. Good show everyone. Thank you. Tyler, great seeing you. Let's spin the wheel. We do also have the. The State Farm 3. Oh yeah?
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
Let's see it. Yeah. Trailer dropped. Yeah. So State Farm 3 on 3 is coming out I think next week. Next week? Yeah.
Mincy
The barstool basketball.
Brandon
So you can see some of our basketball.
Mincy
The bba. If you're a barstool fan, this tournament is for you.
Brandon
I'm willing to take this year if I can get something better next year.
Mincy
If you're a basketball fan, this tournament is for you.
Brandon
Match for the Wednesday from the State Farm.
Mincy
If you're an association fan, this tournament is for you. Sorry to report your team has voted you off. It's the BBA and we're back. Where else are you going to get your fix of high quality competitive basketball action? The answer, nowhere.
Kate
You think people went hard last year?
Brandon
It's going to be double this year.
Mincy
A lot of pressure this season. There will be drama.
Brandon
Don't take basketball first dog. You're the one taking the first.
Mincy
There will be backstabbing.
Brandon
You ain't winning a chip with this team.
Mincy
There will be basketball.
Brandon
Once the whistle blows, anything could happen.
Mincy
The barstool basketball association season two presented by Staples far March 23, 10am Eastern.
Steven
You're welcome.
Mincy
Let's go.
Brandon
Hell yes. This was a good excited for this.
Dan
All right.
Mincy
Season one was awesome. Season two, very good as well. Yeah, can't wait for it to debut.
Brandon
All right, let's spin the wheel.
Dan
And we're going to spin that wheel. That's what we're going to do.
Titus
Spin that wheel.
Dan
The wheel's going to spin soon. Wheel is coming and as soon as that and see Tyler, what you don't get is we have a wheel and we're going to spin it. All right.
Brandon
Okay, we're good. All right. Thank you, Tyler.
Kate
Yep.
Brandon
See you everyone. Tonight.
Steven
Tyler, tune into Viva tv.
Brandon
Who's the bad guy's friend?
Titus
Sa.
Kate
The.
Brandon
All right, watch after dark tonight. Shout out the yak fans for buying the cards. Thanks for for working with us with that. It was 2500 packs the first time. That was obviously not enough. 5000 the second time. Still sell down in under five minutes. So for series two, maybe we reevaluate and do a couple more. But we love you guys. Best friend in the world.
Kate
All right, love you.
Brandon
See you tomorrow. Bye.
Barstool Sports | March 16, 2026
The Yak crew gathers to recap a wild St. Patrick's Day weekend filled with bar stories, holiday mayhem, Joey Chestnut’s infamous farts, the rise of “Borg” culture among college kids, and—most memorably—Big Cat’s bruised ego after being subjected to relentless begging by a random 6-year-old arcade hustler. The show weaves rapid-fire banter with personal anecdotes, Barstool inside jokes, and signature irreverence, covering everything from children’s party etiquette and arcade game economics to the logistics of competitive eating and the sports-centric events dominating March. The conversation is peppered with debates, light roasting among friends, and unique insights into internet and sports subcultures.
Classic Yak energy: fast, irreverent, and packed with inside jokes and friendly jabs; language is candid and conversational, balancing nostalgia with the specific absurdities and minor tragedies of adulthood, sports, and big group dynamics.
This episode is a prime snapshot of the Yak’s unique mix: chaotic storytelling, rapid topic pivots, plenty of laughs, long-running Barstool inside jokes, and moments of surprising insight about sports, culture, and modern life. New listeners will get both Barstool’s in-group banter and enough context to join the fun.
