Each game unfolds under alternating day and night phases with roles like the cool chick, the shy guy, the gambler, El Presidente, the mentalist, the planner, the funny guy and more. Every round is unpredictable, chaotic and ridiculously fun. Who's the bad guy? Is great for parties, pre games, family gatherings or groups who just love deception based games.

Big Cat
Oh, no. Is he giving an announcement, though?
Brandon
Every time I look. Dana's not touching the card.
Big Cat
Yeah, I. I didn't. I was like, in and out, cuz we were like. I was in. We were traveling on Monday and then the live show and all this. So I've been like, in and out of the whole thing, and I. The amount of times guys. People aren't touching the card is just baffling to me.
Frankie
Crazy.
Dana
What is this, some sort of lone Ranger challenge? What are they doing?
Brandon
I don't want to be a cheater.
Rhett Louder
I can see blind everything right here.
Hank
That's.
Tate
That's okay. The point of blindfold, you can see your feet.
Big Cat
Dude, what is. What were you guys. What were you guys takes on meek Phil scumbag? Huh?
Ella
We didn't really.
Tate
I think.
Brandon
Oh, it happened last night.
Big Cat
No, it happened last night. Oh, yeah.
Brandon
Oh.
Big Cat
So I had no problem with the milk thing. I mean, he's a bad guy, but, like, that's part of the game. This. The spitting is.
Dana
I just don't love the crazy.
Frankie
I didn't like the milky.
Dana
I don't like the milk being thrown at Blutman.
Big Cat
Yeah, well, we can't coddle one guy
Dana
was the nicest guy we got.
Big Cat
But you can't coddle one guy that's not.
Dana
Not throwing milk on him is not coddling him.
Ella
It was too much milk.
Big Cat
It's. It's a competition. I. The milk. The spit is like, crazy.
Frankie
The spit is.
Jack
The spit was like gremlin mode. Also, it's not a.
Big Cat
It's funny watching, like, something about spit has guys feeling like mark Wahlberg on 911.
Jack
Yeah.
Big Cat
Like, everyone. I wish he would have done that. Everyone's like, dude, sad happened.
Ella
Dude, I would have caved his face. No, you wouldn't.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Ella
Men don't throw punches because they're terrified of looking like a. Having a cool devastating punch.
Tate
Yes.
Brandon
I didn't.
Ella
So they push you.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Ella
In front of a swarm of people
Big Cat
they know will break and hope someone will. Yeah. Come quickly. Break it up.
Ella
A shove is what men will do.
Hank
Yeah.
Ella
A lightly shot.
Brandon
There was an around the office of like what you would do if Meek spit on you. I haven't watched it, but I'd imagine there's a lot of people be like, I'll kill him.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
No, no, no. I would say something snarky on the act. Play victim, hope to get sympathy.
Big Cat
Yeah, I do. What Data did. Yeah, I feel like that was. That was illegal. Eliminate him.
Brandon
Yeah, that's it. That's it.
Big Cat
But yeah, something about the spit.
Brandon
Everyone second Meek goes like, are we cool? I'll be like, oh, yeah, man, for sure.
Big Cat
No, you're good, dude. I understand. It's part of the game.
Brandon
I would have done the same if I were in your.
Big Cat
But it's something about the spit. It is a. It is a crazy move.
Brandon
You can't do that.
Ella
Warrants the desire to correct. Beat someone to a bloody pulp. But you just can't do that sometimes.
Big Cat
Oh, man. What a. Meek is really.
Dana
In one day, throwing a gallon of milk on one co worker and then rubbing a diaper, spitting on another. What a way to display your true colors to the entire company. By Jacob Ames.
Brandon
Does Jacob hate Meek?
Big Cat
I guess so.
Dana
I think Jacob has been test piloting, just ripping off takes about barstool people. He did this a couple weeks ago, right?
Big Cat
Yeah, he did.
Brandon
Did more work with one spit than you ever do at this company.
Frankie
Damn.
Brandon
Maybe. Say it. Jesus Christ.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah, that's a. That's a crazy one for Meek.
Hank
I don't know.
Big Cat
I don't know.
Ella
To my face.
Big Cat
I don't know if he knows that Jacob's part of PMT now. Yeah, he does a lot of stuff and he's like cutting clips for us in the Cream Team. Cream team has like a real sponsorship coming up.
Jack
Yes.
Dana
Whoa.
Big Cat
On their first big sponsorship. Yeah.
Brandon
I mean, yeah. So yeah.
Dana
So you're saying Meek is. Is picking a fight with all of you?
Big Cat
Oh, no. I'm saying Meek saying that Jacob, he's done more.
Dana
Oh, I see.
Big Cat
Company than Jacob has ever done.
Dana
Jacob accomplished.
Big Cat
That's it.
Dana
So, yeah, okay.
Big Cat
Meek, he's just. He knows that he's a bad guy and he doesn't care. And that's what his superpower is. That's what I tweeted yesterday.
Brandon
Like, does he actually not care?
Big Cat
I don't know. He does care.
Dana
Gotta care. It's gotta be tough to just be a bad guy all the time. I don't think that guy is. I don't think the human being under Meek Phil is necessarily a bad guy to this level.
Big Cat
I don't know, man. He says some Shitty things to people. I don't like, personally have a problem with him, but, like, I've seen enough where I'm like, dude, what do you. Why are you just always like this?
Brandon
But then spitting on Dana is an extension of us.
Big Cat
What do you mean?
Brandon
He spit on all of us.
Big Cat
Yeah, he did. He spit on all of us.
Dana
Was there milk out of spit?
Big Cat
The milk thing again? I think that was fine. This game is really stupid.
Dana
I know.
Big Cat
I thought it was like. I thought it was an. But I wasn't like, oh, my God, we have this, like, Blutman. How could you do that to Blutman? Like, he's part of the game.
Dana
That's what I thought. He just threw it all at Bloodman.
Big Cat
I think it was the closest one to him.
Frankie
Was it. Is that part of the game?
Big Cat
Yeah, I think so. They were like, shooting in stuff and
Ella
I don't think that was like.
Frankie
I don't think. Yeah, I think that was like.
Ella
Were more like trying to get. They were all getting along at this point.
Big Cat
Wasn't the whole. No. What is Tate in there right now? Is he in the studio?
Dana
Yeah, he's back there.
Big Cat
Wasn't it like, no rules until there are rules?
Dana
We tried to take Bloodman a towel and we were.
Tate
We were.
Ella
I get wanting to weed people out.
Big Cat
Yeah. I think someone. The one thing you could say about Meek is like. And I don't again defend the spit whatsoever. He was the villain that made some of the. Some of that stuff very interesting. He did the Love me or hate me. You watched. There is a little bit of truth in that because it was. I do hate him. And I did watch.
Ella
Hate you watch.
Big Cat
Yeah, exactly.
Tate
The thing about the rules. Yeah. I came in on the day of. There's going to be no rules and we'll react everything. The problem with the spit up until then, we found everything toeing the line, going a little bit over a little bit below you. Yeah, that's fine. We reacted to it as it happened. The spit opened up Pandora's box, which was. Okay, is there truly no rules? Like if. If Dana Beer punched him in the face or if Meek Phil wants to kick, you know, Blutman in the nuts?
Rhett Louder
Is it like.
Tate
Well, we'll react to it when it happens. So that's. We did not eject Meek. We said, dana gets to spit on you. Dana gets. We're either going to hinder Meek or help Dana. And he didn't want to do that. But we couldn't just say, okay, there's still no rules, even though now you Guys are extending what no rules means.
Brandon
How was he when he left? Did he handle his ejection well?
Tate
He was pissed. And then he did. I will say he took a shower, came downstairs, and. And was like, hey, I don't mean what I said about, like, I was playing the game. I was crossing the line. I don't necessarily agree that the ball sweat and the spit was equal. Not equal, whatever. But I was playing the game. They were playing the game. I'm not mad at anyone.
Dana
Well, that's.
Big Cat
Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
Brandon
I'm glad Meek's not mad at him. That takes a big man to say.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah. I just. I. Meek was the villain, and he was.
Tate
He did great at 10 out of 10 on this stream was. Meek did a great job on the street.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Tate
People come away, say, he's an asshole, whatever. Totally fair.
Big Cat
And that's why, like, I put the. I put the milk, and then Dana doing the, like, diaper thing on the handle is, like, kind of the same thing. That's. And then the. The spit is too far. I'm like, that's. That's.
Tate
And if it's not too far, then what? Where's the line?
Dana
Right. What's the blindfold doing right now?
Big Cat
What are they doing? Great moments are born, great opportunities.
Brandon
I got miracle.
Kate
Just woke up in Japan. Another game of beers, beers, beers.
Big Cat
Your tweet, and that's what you have here tonight, boys.
Brandon
What is this? Are they just.
Tate
So we. We went blindfold for Yak. They don't know it's only for Yak, but obviously people are gonna watch yak. They're in there. Just. We're doing things that can mess with them mentally. So we're going blindfold for an undisclosed amount of time, and that's what we're doing.
Brandon
What's the. What's the box?
Tate
The box. So the only two rules right now are hand on golf cart, foot in box.
Brandon
Dude. My favorite elimination. First of all, Ethan doing the layup is the hardest I've laughed at a video in a long time. I don't know. I was so slapstick. He's so disheveled.
Big Cat
Why did he get eliminated?
Brandon
He sang 99 bottles of the Beer on the Wall Too hard.
Big Cat
Did you see it? No, I didn't.
Brandon
I rose when he realized I was.
Big Cat
I just. I was following, like, I had alerts on for Tate, and he would just be, like, another guy eliminated because we were running around yester. Oh, I missed the. Ethan.
Brandon
He was singing 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall. Way too animated and Then he realized both his hands were off, and he froze. And they just tried to, like, hide under the roof of the golf cart that nobody saw.
Tate
Big Cat, he truly gave, like, the highest of hot.
Big Cat
You take one down, pass it around.
Hank
83 bottles of beer on the wall
Brandon
83 bottles of beer on the wall
Dana
23 bottles of beer. Froze.
Brandon
Stop singing.
Dana
And then he just.
Big Cat
Oh, I hope no one saw that.
Frankie
With.
Brandon
Oh, he's just looking around.
Frankie
36 hours.
Tate
So chat Chat's had one save per day, the whole thing. Chad actually used their save on that one.
Big Cat
I saw that. Okay.
Tate
So then the next time was basically. He knew he did it again. He was just adjusting hands, realized he was off for a second, grabbed it. Chad had already used their save.
Big Cat
All right, so that's. So, yeah, he was gonna lose no matter what, because, like, he was. He kept on up that.
Frankie
Yes.
Liam
He.
Brandon
Yes.
Big Cat
And then what happened with Deutsche? They tried to run a pick and roll, and I. I just. So again, I was. I was doing. I wasn't able to tune in, and. And people were just saying, like, oh, Deutsche got eliminated. I was like, what happened? And someone's like, they tried to Blutman and Dana tried to run a pick and roll, and Deutsch got confused and sat down.
Tate
Exactly.
Big Cat
I was like, what does that sentence even mean?
Tate
Deutsche. And I think Dana might fall for the same TR did, which was, we have allowed them to bring alcohol if they want. Deutsch kept asking for Cinco de Mayo.
Big Cat
Margs. Yep.
Tate
So we went and got Margs. We added Deutsch, ended up drinking, I think, two pitchers, tequila, added Margs with Miralax in it. So Dana or Deutsch was drinking that, and then he just. He changed as a person. And they were trying to get Meek to sit down. They're like, oh, my gosh. This, like, this seat would be so warm. The seat would be great. Meek and. And then Deutsch walked over and sat down for 10 seconds.
Big Cat
He fell into his own trap.
Tate
Not, like, sat and jumped up.
Ella
He.
Tate
He. He sat down for 10 seconds. Like, dude, what are you doing? We've been here for 27 hours. The one rule is you can't sit.
Rhett Louder
He's like, oh, fuck.
Brandon
Wait.
Ella
So the trick to get someone to sit was what?
Tate
I think they were trying. My understanding is they were trying to convince Meek to sit and by telling
Ella
them that the seat is so comfortable.
Frankie
Yes.
Tate
And they worked on.
Big Cat
Oh, George's like, I didn't even consider this.
Brandon
Wait, that's comfy.
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah.
Big Cat
He.
Frankie
He.
Tate
And he was Kind of on his way out. He was like, man, what happened? But this morning, he was like, yes, I sat down. I probably shouldn't have done.
Big Cat
But that's how this competition should. Like, that's how people should be eliminated is being, like, tricked almost in the end, where you just kind of like, fade out. Oh, man, that's.
Tate
So that's where we're at.
Ella
So now it's a. Just a pure deprivation challenge.
Rhett Louder
And.
Dana
Oh, wait.
Brandon
Yeah, look, he popped your.
Big Cat
You gotta sit in. Do I have to sit? Are you sitting?
Dana
You're not supposed to sit.
Big Cat
Don't sit. Why are you sitting? And how. Donnie, get out.
Tate
Donnie. Donnie was on the edge of. He's got a wife and kid at home. Whatever, Whatever. And then we made the rule. Hand on the handlebar. He let go. He said it was like an accident, but I also. I think Donnie is very okay with. He let go. That's why he went home. But he was okay with being next.
Brandon
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
Can I see the Ethan layup? Have you guys seen it?
Big Cat
No.
Jack
I'd like to see it again.
Dana
I saw a still shot.
Big Cat
Yeah, I. Because I just saw the picture. I think this is so good. What is he even doing?
Frankie
Oh, this is still.
Big Cat
Wait, hold on.
Tate
Where the ball is.
Big Cat
What happened?
Ella
Wait, wait. He's doing a layup in that picture.
Big Cat
A basketball layup.
Ella
Is he behind the rim?
Big Cat
80s movie record scratch. Like, you're probably wondering how I got here.
Brandon
Spinning so slow.
Dana
He's not spinning at all, but it
Brandon
still does its job.
Big Cat
That could have happened to anybody here.
Rhett Louder
That can happen.
Dana
Yep.
Tate
Deutsch was off the marks here.
Brandon
And then he comes up to the camera and flexes.
Big Cat
Oh, Ethan. I'm happy he. I'm happy he gave this.
Ella
He was meant for this.
Big Cat
I was really rooting for him. Should sell that as a T shirt.
Brandon
The backboard.
Big Cat
That's too bad that he's out.
Frankie
Hell of a performance for me.
Dana
Yeah, hell of a got.
Ella
I've got to be happy with.
Big Cat
Starting with the boys. 99 bottles of beer on the. Yeah, anyone?
Brandon
Dude, that was the first time he's been happy in probably 10 years.
Big Cat
He was having a blast singing with the boys. He broke out a stomp.
Brandon
That's the first time he stomped in a decade.
Big Cat
A little like Irish pub stomp.
Ella
The Lumineers covered.
Big Cat
Get his Mumford and Son on.
Ella
He's about to river dance.
Brandon
I guess life isn't so bad after all.
Big Cat
Here it comes. It was actually kind of the stomp. They put him
Hank
freeze.
Brandon
Looking around, tries to catch I think I'm in the clear.
Hank
Yep.
Big Cat
No cameras.
Brandon
Okay, I'm going to try to pop my head again.
Big Cat
Let me get back in this song. What number are we at? Okay. Yep, I'm back. Oh, here comes again and now.
Brandon
Okay, I'm in the clear.
Frankie
How did it get caught, Tate? The chat's all it.
Tate
Yeah, the chat's on, like, a 20, 30 second delay, so everyone knows when they mess up, they're, like, trying to keep it cool.
Big Cat
And.
Tate
And then the chat just goes. I mean, I've gotten, like thousands of DMs. It's just like this person did this, this, this, this. So it just went whoosh.
Big Cat
Oh, man. What are they. What's the shitting like? Are they getting bathroom breaks?
Tate
I'm actually a little mad that. So I saw you go in there when you got here.
Big Cat
Was, you know, I supposed to go in there?
Tate
No, you can go in.
Big Cat
Oh.
Tate
It was a war zone until we've been. We had to clean it up. We were forced to clean it up.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Tate
It was the worst smelling poop. Poop. There was poop, wet poop, puke, piss. Five buckets of piss, milk, hot sauce, mayo, wet poop. Oh, yeah.
Brandon
So, like, I'm cool with.
Big Cat
But yeah, no, like, no.
Dana
Donnie.
Tate
Donnie first took a shit and it was, like, solid, like pellets.
Brandon
He's a pellet guy. He's a pellet. We've seen him. It was pellets last time.
Tate
And so that.
Big Cat
And then.
Tate
And then they started doing the Miralax and then there was, like, diarrhea. Oh, it smelled. We've had to buy air fresheners. We got Surviving Barcelona setting up soon or whatever, and they're using all this stuff. So we have been forced to clean. Oh, that it would be. It was the worst smell I've ever smelled. And you could smell it deep in the.
Brandon
I heard that there was a piss bucket so full that you had to put a cup in there.
Hank
Yep.
Brandon
Like, kind of like a sinking ship.
Tate
I had to put on gloves and empty out a piss bucket into another bucket.
Big Cat
If we do this next year, I think you need to make, like, a women's and a men's division. And that's not offensive, but, like, women just have no chance with how gross this got. And guys do.
Jack
There's a different toilet situation.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Tate
Annika was a warrior.
Big Cat
Oh, women use the real toilet. Okay, good. No, no. Oh, yeah. That sucks.
Tate
Reed was a.
Big Cat
We gotta have, like, a women's marathon and a men's marathon.
Jack
Just a different toilet. We can hack it.
Brandon
Who's your favorite here?
Tate
Who do I think's gonna win?
Frankie
Yeah.
Dana
Shout out to Dana.
Big Cat
I walked.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
I walked in there. I was like, look, I'm proud of both of you. Blutman, I expected.
Dana
We saw it coming.
Big Cat
He. He could. He pretty much is doing a. The only thing that he's not doing right now is not watching ball, but everything else is his normal life. Dana, I never. He has a. He has a wife and a wiener dog.
Brandon
Yeah. Puppy wiener dog.
Frankie
Yeah.
Tate
I think the answer is if it was just sitting there and you can't leave the room and it's just the outside world, Blutman would be minus 10,000.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Tate
Now that we are doing hindrances, Dana Beers is more equipped to, like, stand there in the same spot, stand there with his hand up, stuff like that. So we're trying not to disadvantage Blutman with that. The one thing, though, but that's.
Big Cat
You can't, like, play to one person's strengths, for sure. Weaknesses.
Tate
The one thing, I think Dana became the favorite when it became these two and standing. However, Dana was given the option. Blutman got an extra large water. Dana was given the option of one water for the rest of the day or unlimited beers. He took unlimited beers.
Big Cat
So is he wearing a glove?
Ella
This is today.
Big Cat
Yeah, he's.
Tate
He's. He wants. Where you have to re up him with some more Miller.
Brandon
So people are bringing up the wife thing. A thing I know is that she told him she's tired of him getting eliminated early. Oh, he better win.
Frankie
I heard this too.
Ella
Yeah, that's an extra.
Big Cat
Yeah. Don't come back.
Brandon
Don't come back empty handed.
Ella
Oh, if that. What a. So what a shameful entrance to your apartment.
Brandon
I didn't have the money because I'm still covered. I'm at least covered in spit.
Big Cat
And the worst part is he's gonna sleep for like 24 hours.
Brandon
So he's not even here for a week.
Big Cat
It's not like coming back and being like, you want to go to dinner?
Brandon
So, Tate, you left the office to finally get some well deserved rest, and then you got back to your apartment and the spit happened.
Tate
Yeah, we had a meeting. So we were down to four, and we were like, hey, we need to get someone gone. So we went straight military rules. And our plan was today to have three people in just like the standoff. As soon as we got Ethan out with the. The hand, we're like, all right, Danny's gonna come in. We're gonna treat these people. Just no challenges, no punishments. We're gonna have three people in the morning. Only call Lucas and I if it's an emergency.
Big Cat
And then it was an emergency.
Tate
As soon as I got home, I laid down, my phone goes off. I'm like, is this an emergency? And it was Ryan. He was just like, yeah, it's a emergency.
Big Cat
I felt so bad for you guys. I was literally walking into the airport and you guys are like, what do we do? I was like, I haven't watched enough to know. Luke is like, what the. You guys.
Tate
Luke is like, cat's out in California and he's on Netflix show all this stuff. And it's like, yeah, I think we have to text him in the middle of the night.
Big Cat
If I could go back and had a little more sense, I would have said that the ruling should have been that Dana could have pissed on Golden. That would have been fair.
Brandon
Tit for tat.
Tate
We wish.
Big Cat
I mean, or caved his face in, right?
Ella
Yeah, you can't. But I guess like, like that actually it does warrant getting your face punched. But the thing is, like, people.
Brandon
Yeah, I think it's a worse retail. Like, Dana was politically smart of not doing anything correct. People just hate Meek all the more correct. Like, if Dana caved his face in, people, there would be people that hate Dana.
Dana
And a punch.
Frankie
Also, that clip would just exist without the context.
Dana
It would just.
Brandon
Dana whomping on a door clip.
Frankie
Yeah, Dana just punching Meek in the face.
Big Cat
Meek kind of like hit Dana too.
Tate
That's like he.
Big Cat
He hit him in a way that was like. Like a woman hitting a man and a man putting his arms down by the side. Like, he.
Dana
Look at him.
Big Cat
I do not.
Jack
That's what led to this yelling match. What led to this escalation.
Frankie
Dana, I think they were in a room for.
Big Cat
Yeah. And they all have a little bit of mental issues.
Jack
Why is he so short tempered? What. What happened?
Big Cat
Dana took his diaper out, which that was also people were pretending that he shoved it in Meek's face.
Tate
Way different.
Big Cat
Yeah, he took his diaper out and he put it on. He tried to rub it on Meek's handle.
Brandon
Was his diaper on bare ass?
Dana
He was.
Tate
He was wearing the diaper and Meek has to touch the bar. So Dana wiped what was touching his balls on what Meek had. So it was like three degrees of separation. It's not like he whipped out his nuts and touched Meek with them.
Brandon
Hardly any ball would make it to Meek's hand.
Big Cat
I'll tip it off,
Jack
but I can also see how that would piss off.
Big Cat
Totally.
Jack
I Think that's a.
Dana
You're also on no sleep and you've been standing for 36 hours.
Brandon
I'm not sure if it warrants a spit.
Jack
No, it doesn't.
Dana
No, it doesn't warrant a spit, but
Jack
it definitely warrants some rage.
Dana
It warrants some anger.
Big Cat
I'm in your mouth.
Tate
I'll give me credit on this. He seemed less upset about the ruling of Dana gets to spit back, and more upset. Like, why are we giving Dana an advantage or me a punishment?
Hank
He.
Dana
So why is Dana sitting now? You're holding on to my ball.
Big Cat
He won a challenge that allowed him what? And so has anyone talked to me today?
Dana
Yeah, he was just here.
Big Cat
Oh, he was.
Dana
He was. Well, right after, mostly. Maybe right before he was clipping wub. Yeah, he was here at 9:30 when I saw him. He was in the gambling cave. I think he had his suitcase behind him. He's about to leave, but he was in. Good. I said, boy, you really made it last night. Made it interesting last night. He said, that's what I came here to do. Yeah.
Brandon
It seems like he's just back at base level.
Big Cat
True villain.
Brandon
That was a pretty good impression.
Ella
Impression.
Big Cat
That's where I think the superpower comes in. I don't. I don't know if it bothers him
Dana
that I don't think he's going to carry it over.
Big Cat
Right.
Dana
Like, he just.
Frankie
Like.
Big Cat
I think he thinks in his head he was kind of right. Yeah. Yeah.
Tate
I don't. I don't think he sees spit milk. I think he sees spit milk and diaper all on the same.
Big Cat
Right.
Tate
And the Internet sees spit as higher.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah. It is.
Dana
That's high.
Big Cat
It is. Spit is, like, the most disrespectful thing you can do to a person. Oh, that's so funny.
Tate
Well, if you guys have any ideas.
Big Cat
Yeah. Maybe come back at the end of the show and we'll.
Dana
Okay.
Big Cat
We'll set the stage for what's going on tonight.
Brandon
I don't know how much Dana has left.
Dana
Dana might be finding some cramping or something.
Big Cat
That glove feels like it's a competitive advantage. I don't know why, but it looks so cool. He's got that.
Dana
I'm worried about whatever's on the roof falling onto Glutman's arm. You can't see it. I'm pooping, right?
Hank
Meow.
Big Cat
Okay.
Frankie
Oh.
Big Cat
Whoa.
Jack
What the hell?
Big Cat
That'd be funny. If he came in. It was like, you just spit, you're out. Spit on the floor.
Dana
Dana looks cool.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dana
That's what I'm saying. The glove.
Big Cat
The glove. He looks like Michael Jackson.
Dana
Yeah, he looks cool. As
Big Cat
he probably is losing weight in there.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
He can't eat like constantly. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's probably good for him.
Ella
He can't constantly.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
When is the last time he loses? Right now.
Dana
When did they eat last?
Kate

Yeah, quite a weekend. Yeah, it was quite a weekend. Fellas.
Jack
The Zach glasses clip made me laugh very hard.
Big Cat
I don't know if you guys caught up with the Zach. What's been going on with Zach?
Brandon
He lost his glasses.
Big Cat
A stripper stole his glasses.
Brandon
Okay.
Big Cat
And then we went. So we went to the strip club on Saturday night. Stripper stole his glasses. Zach recon mission. Went back to the strip club solo to try to find his glasses. Monday morning between the hours of 2 and 8, he really did a search. He checked every.
Brandon
Every nook and cranny.
Big Cat
Yeah, he's mogging everything. Oh, wow. Yeah. Good pick. Yeah.
Jack
And he like needs those glasses, right? Like, he's like blind without him.
Big Cat
He said he has contacts. It takes him an hour to put them in. So.
Ella
So she like robbed him or like, I don't know.
Big Cat
He says it might have been a little. He said the problem with being a glasses guy is that you have to take the glasses off to get titties and face. And he was getting a lot of titties and face.
Ella
Oh, he actually was.
Tate
Oh, dude.
Hank
He.
Big Cat
He went back to the strip club for six hours by himself on Monday morning. We drove from Vegas to LA at 11am on Monday and he was sitting shotgun. And like, PFT. Was like, dude, are you, like, really hungover? He's like, I'm hammered right now. He was. He was partying.
Tate
Wow.
Big Cat
Yeah. Did you see the alarm? The bomb alarm?
Dana
We.
Big Cat
We now understand the bomb alarm needs, like, a raise because I. I tweeted it, I think, Monday. Yeah, he's titties in face guy. I know exactly what he's doing. Not even moving.
Frankie
He's dreaming about an alarm.
Dana
About.
Frankie
That's insane.
Big Cat
There was another one. I'll send you. I think there's.
Frankie
Is that, like a metal.
Brandon
That the same.
Frankie
Is that a medical condition or is that.
Big Cat
It might.
Ella
Has to be.
Brandon
Is that the same alarm that he had in his apartment going on for, like.
Big Cat
Correct.
Frankie
Yeah, correct.
Big Cat
That's the bomb. Oh, and I'll send you another one. Tj. We also have a guest today we can have on in a minute. Do a gauntlet. Cincinnati Red. Cincinnati Red. Tj, I'll send you the other one.
Dana
He.
Big Cat
Yeah, they had to, like, physically, like, pull him out of bed because he was so up. But yeah, Zach, I didn't know he got down like that.
Ella
Did he maintain his, like, same disposition?
Dana
Exactly. Same.
Ella
Despite being fucked up.
Big Cat
There was a moment where we're at the strip club, and I. I was like, I paid for a lap dance for me and Zach, and we're sitting in this room, and we were maybe, like, I don't know, two, three feet away from each other, and there was a wall in between us, and I just kept on, like, hearing an ass slap. And I was like, zach, you good? And he's like, doing great, sir. Having a great time, sir. So it's the exact same disposition. Just titties in face with it. Yeah, with the titties in face and no glasses.
Rhett Louder
He.
Frankie
He also getting up at the strip club with your boss.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Frankie
Bizarre experience.
Dana
Look at this one.
Brandon
What time is this?
Big Cat
This is like 10:30 in the morning. But he did get home at 8. He. He also. I, like, the strip club manager was like, dude, this guy won't stop coming up and asking us about a lost and found.
Ella
You're so drunk, you forget if you ask, you just.
Big Cat
He just kept on asking about the lost and found, and they're like, we do not have your glasses. There's nothing we can do.
Ella
Damn.
Big Cat
He also said he got into a deep conversation with one of the strippers. Had. Was a served. Soft serve in high school, so. Oh, instant connection. Instant connection.
Ella
Oh, she was.
Rhett Louder
That was.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah.
Ella
Part time.
Big Cat
Oh, yeah.
Ella
So they got deep into deep into ice cream.
Rhett Louder
Yes.
Big Cat
He was getting titties in face. Talking ice cream heaven for Zach.
Brandon
Can't think of anything better.
Ella
How did the sphere go?
Big Cat
Sphere was insane. Fish was. I mean, they did nine shows, so they did three weekends. Three shows a weekend, no repeats.
Frankie
That's pretty.
Ella
Yeah.
Brandon
Every concert's like three songs.
Big Cat
No, it's like 18 songs. They did 162 songs, no repeats.
Brandon
That's a lot of songs.
Big Cat
It was sick though.
Brandon
How was our guy Chef?
Big Cat
Chef was amazing. He was a. He was an mvp. Really down for everything. Yeah. Dante. Dante and Jerry o' Connell are best friends now. Dante is the funniest guy ever because he. Every experience he has is the greatest
Ella
experience ever, like, ever seem like that.
Big Cat
Like we were just at dinner and it was like they gave us like a. Like a appetizer and he just yelled out. He's like, this is unreal. This is the greatest food. The sphere. He was just like, this is the greatest thing I've ever seen.
Ella
How did he explains him?
Brandon
After Nicky Smokes tweeted his text, did he approach you guys weird or did he.
Big Cat
We busted his balls. We're like, dude, this isn't. This isn't spring break house. Like, we're not like, I went to. We went to John Summit on Friday night. I think I was there for 15 minutes. And I turned to PFT and Resilo and I was like, we gotta go. Like, we gotta get out of here. There's just a thousand 21 year old girls screaming at the top of their lungs like, we couldn't be more out of place. So like I told Dante, I was like, dude, if I'm going home, like, I'm just gonna go home. I don't care. So he. He corrected it after that. Yeah, he didn't care after that. But yeah, the first night he was like, these guys are so lame.
Brandon
His response tweet to Nicky Smokes was just like, I never said this.
Big Cat
Or yeah, yeah, yeah, I never said this.
Brandon
And two. I was drunk.
Big Cat
Yeah. And then the Delente brothers. Oh my God. Just having multiple Delentes.
Jack
Are they just like, Max, did you.
Big Cat
Wait, did you see? Max's oldest brother is like.
Jack
Looks like Pat.
Big Cat
He's the beef. I know, it was crazy.
Jack
I know. Like, yeah, freakishly so.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Really?
Jack
Yes.
Big Cat
It was like weird to see. And he.
Jack
And there's a hot brother.
Big Cat
They just walk around just being Maxes and like the hand gestures and they're just so. They're so Italian.
Frankie
I love the back of when Max goes back a hand into the palm.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
That's when, you know, I love it.
Big Cat
I think I have a going. I have a clip of. Of one of the Delonte brothers talking, and it was just like, this is. They're just all the same. But, yeah, they loved. The Dante brothers were hilarious. They're. They're just so. So Italian. Like, I caught them at one point asking Dom what his last name was, and Dom, like, spelled his last name. They're like, oh, that's a good last name. Like, that's good right there. That's a good vowel to end with. Oh, yeah.
Jack
Did you hear from any of the potential invitees, that big, long list of anybody being like, I'm on the fence, I might come through.
Big Cat
Shane Victorino was gonna maybe come. Versillo did come on Friday for fish, and then he hung for the cabana on Saturday. Jerry o' Connell came. He was.
Jack
Yeah.
Big Cat
So funny. Yeah, it was. It was a good weekend.
Jack
So I brought a Speedo.
Big Cat
Yeah. He brought a spear. Yeah. Look at them. It is a very relatable thing to, like, find one dude that you don't know on a bachelor party and be like, we're best friends now. That happened in, like, maybe five minutes. They just became. They went to Tiesto together on Saturday night.
Ella
Oh, no, it was.
Hank
It was.
Big Cat
It was the. It was the don, Chef Donnie and Jerry o'. Connell.
Brandon
Oh, that's a dream.
Big Cat
What a trio. Like, that's just the best. Yeah, they were at Siesto, just, like, living it up. And I guess. I guess Dante, the best part, on Friday night, when he shamed us all for leaving, John Summit replied to a tweeping like, you guys missed. He just spilled drinks over on everyone.
Ella
On everyone.
Big Cat
On everyone.
Ella
Like, he got brought up stage.
Big Cat
He kept on saying, like, dude, John Summit wants you on stage. I was like, Dude, I'm 41. I do not want to be on stage with John Summit. Like, I not. Also, John Summit doesn't want me on stage.
Ella
No, no, no.
Big Cat
The coolness factor will go down instantly.
Frankie
On stage for what he was like,
Brandon
stand behind and film him.
Ella
Exactly.
Brandon
To prove that you're about to sleep
Ella
with film at the back of his head.
Big Cat
Dante kept on, like. I think he thought we were at, like, a Chili's or something. He's like, john Summit wants you up there so that we can shout out Max's bachelor party. It's like, no, he doesn't. No, he doesn't. Like, there's just girls everywhere. Yeah, this is Dante. He, like, there's a video I could Maybe get where he just is, like snaking through the crowd in a very weird way. And she's like, what is going on? But yes, John Summit is the man.
Ella
He's the man, but like, nightmare to be on stage.
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Big Cat
The last thing I'd want. Again, he wouldn't want me on stage.
Ella
Right?
Big Cat
Like, here's this 41 year old. Oh, Max's birthday, right?
Frankie
Shout out.
Big Cat
Yeah, Max.
Brandon
Can we hear it from Mac?
Big Cat
Hey, we're gonna stop this song real quick. Everyone take a break in the drugs you're doing. Max Silente is getting married. But that was what Dante. I mean, and he knows everyone. And it's just. We also. We also just were eating dinner on Sunday night before the guys went out. And we got up from dinner and like, three tables over, just sitting by himself, was Glenny Balls. And he just went out with Vegas.
Ella
Ball just happened to be there.
Big Cat
Balls is just like. Yeah, it was an expensive flight to go back on Sunday, so I'm just here by myself.
Ella
Balls were just there.
Big Cat
He was just there. Yeah, he was just in Vegas, huh? So he went out with the boys.
Frankie
I'll be doing.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah.
Frankie
I guess that's where he does.
Big Cat
All right, should we get. Should we get our guest on? Yeah, yeah, go grab him. So it's. It's Rhett. Louder. From the Cincinnati Reds. I think he's a big stooly and yak fan.
Jack
Sweet.
Big Cat
You want to do a gauntlet?
Brandon
He can't.
Big Cat
He can't?
Brandon
No.
Tate
Why?
Brandon
He's on the mound tomorrow.
Big Cat
Oh, wow. Dude, the Cubs are so good.
Frankie
They're so good.
Big Cat
It's awesome. I. I would hate to be a person who freaked out after two weeks of the season.
Frankie
Yeah, like Stephen Che.
Big Cat
You did. You freaked out.
Dana
It's my first.
Jack
Hello.
Dana
Hello.
Big Cat
Rhett. What's up, dude?
Jack
Nice to meet you.
Big Cat
What's up, man? What's up? Good to meet you, man.
Dana
Hello again.
Rhett Louder
Hey.
Big Cat
Hi, again. How you doing, man? Thanks for coming by.
Rhett Louder
Thanks for having me.
Big Cat
So you can't. You can't do the Gauntlet because you're pitching tomorrow. Yeah, that's fair. Sadly, that's absolutely fair.
Rhett Louder
Am I good here?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah.
Big Cat
Pull it on in.
Jack
Welcome.
Big Cat
You gotta let the hair down.
Rhett Louder
If I let it down now, it'll be wild.
Big Cat
Okay.
Rhett Louder
You have to give me, like, 30 minute heads up.
Big Cat
How's it going, man? How's the season going?
Rhett Louder
Good. It's long. It's long. Just getting started, but it's fun.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
This place coming here, it makes it a lot easier.
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
So you. Yeah, I mean, thanks for coming by. This is awesome that you're here. None of the other Reds wanted to come by. Is it because we just keep walking you off?
Rhett Louder
Yeah, I think so. I think. No, I asked, but I wasn't gonna turn it down. This place. Awesome.
Big Cat
Yeah. Did you get some ice cream?
Rhett Louder
I haven't. Zach's not here.
Big Cat
Oh, yeah, he's still looking for Zach's.
Rhett Louder
From my. Or not from my town, but do you remember when he said he sold cars in this town in North Carolina? Yeah, that's where I'm from.
Big Cat
Oh, really?
Ella
So he's selling cars there?
Frankie
Wait a sec.
Ella
What town?
Rhett Louder
You already know.
Big Cat
Come on.
Rhett Louder
I watched the guy.
Hank
All right.
Ella
Rock Creek park pool.
Brandon
Nice one, Kyle.
Ella
Whispering Pines Barbecue. Now I got to pivot. What does being a Red.
Frankie
Yeah.
Brandon
Is this what you wanted?
Big Cat
What does it mean to be a Red?
Rhett Louder
You can go back to whispering. You're all over it.
Ella
So.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Ella
Shell. What county?
Rhett Louder
Stanley County. Stanley County.
Ella
Loud. Family growing up.
Dana
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
In the name.
Ella
In the name.
Rhett Louder
Yeah. Louder.
Dana
Pump it.
Rhett Louder
Louder.
Jack
Louder.
Ella
You guys. A lot of screaming, but lovably.
Rhett Louder
Yeah, I guess so. Hopefully it's lovably.
Ella
Yeah.
Brandon
What makes you say that, Kyle?
Frankie
Good question.
Ella
Yeah, I just saw an old tweet you were talking about.
Rhett Louder
What? An old tweet. Oh, no.
Ella
Talking about your family. Screaming a lot.
Rhett Louder
I don't even know that one.
Brandon
Okay.
Big Cat
They were loud.
Brandon
I might need a nightmare.
Rhett Louder
Double check my Twitter, Facebook. Anything bad on there?
Ella
No, no. Great.
Brandon
It's usually the first thing. Kyle searches. Art.
Ella
Yes. All the key.
Brandon
It's your name and then the word.
Ella
Good artist.
Rhett Louder
Yeah, I haven't done it much lately.
Ella
Unbelievable. Sketches.
Jack
Really?
Tate
Oh, yeah.
Rhett Louder
I appreciate it.
Big Cat
We see some.
Frankie
What do you do?
Rhett Louder
Portraits.
Frankie
Portraits?
Rhett Louder
Yeah, portraits.
Dana
Pencil?
Rhett Louder
Yeah, pencil. I used to oil paint, but that takes too much time.
Dana
Now.
Ella
Sunflower.
Frankie
Something that you.
Rhett Louder
Sunflower.
Ella
You've seen CLE and his kids.
Frankie
Did you have an influence with this?
Dana
Were you.
Frankie
Were you taught this, or is this something?
Rhett Louder
Well, my older brother used to draw and paint a lot, and I just want to be better than him at everything.
Frankie
So it's competitive.
Rhett Louder
Yeah, I just took that. Took our class in high school and. And then just.
Brandon
You should have stuck with it, man.
Rhett Louder
I know. I do it here and there. I just did my first drawing in, like, two years for my engagement picture.
Dana
Oh, wow. That's. That's a baller move, right?
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Big Cat
Where are you doing your bachelor party? Woman planet.
Rhett Louder
Oh, there it is.
Big Cat
Oh, whoa, wait.
Rhett Louder
That's good.
Frankie
That's so that's so funny. You're so competitive that you even take it to art.
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Brandon
The most calming.
Frankie
Well, there's not a competent. There's like, you know, it's like, how do you score that?
Big Cat
Oh, yeah.
Rhett Louder
You're still just can't. No one's judging this.
Big Cat
What are you wearing? Are you wearing a. Like a play sheet?
Rhett Louder
Where all my belt.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
Yeah. This is before they could just tell you the pitch in your ear. So I had to go through a grid on my belt before to get a pitch from the coach.
Big Cat
No way.
Rhett Louder
Brutal.
Brandon
Wait, like a grid? Like it's like a multiplication.
Rhett Louder
Yeah. They would give me like. They would give me like a three, and I'd have to go a oh, three, and then tell me the pitch to throw and I'm like. Half the time you get it wrong. Yeah.
Big Cat
Doing a sudoku while you're trying to get a guy.
Frankie
Why not the fingers with the catcher?
Rhett Louder
Because they steal those. Everybody steals those. With a guy on base from second, they'll just relay it to the hitter and. And you're cooked.
Dana
You never had a guy on base in college.
Rhett Louder
I tried not to, but, you know, they get there sometimes.
Dana
Hey, Chicago Cubs super fan. Stephen Che, are you okay that we have a Cincinnati Red on today? You good?
Rhett Louder
Not today. I'll pitch tomorrow. But you should be fine after the past two nights.
Dana
Yeah.
Barstool Sports Announcer
Tough Ellie last night.
Rhett Louder
Yeah. Tough play, tough play.
Dana
Good baseball talk. Baseball talk.
Big Cat
Steven.
Frankie
Relaxed a little bit.
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Frankie
Be nice to our guests.
Big Cat
Just fucking jumping down his throat, dude.
Dana
Damn.
Frankie
That was crazy.
Barstool Sports Announcer
I think we used every player on the roster. Non pitcher last night. I mean, it went into 10th.
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Barstool Sports Announcer
A bunch of pinch hitters.
Dana
Fun game.
Rhett Louder
Crazy games. Walked out the past two nights. Hopefully we can switch that up.
Big Cat
Oh, look at that smile from Stephen. That's the worst.
Brandon
Sorry, pal.
Frankie
Cubs are hot.
Big Cat
Especially better luck next time.
Dana
Not losing it. Wrigley.
Rhett Louder
No.
Big Cat
New.
Rhett Louder
A tough place. It's always packed, too.
Big Cat
Yeah. It's been electric the last two nights. Yeah. Especially I mean, the rain delay on Monday.
Rhett Louder
And then I showed up. I come out of the dugout because in Cincinnati you have an hour or two rain delay. Like, everyone's gone.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
So I come out and it's packed. I'm like, I was not expecting that at all.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
Probably more people after the rain delay than last night.
Big Cat
What's your favorite unwritten rule in baseball? Oh, oh.
Rhett Louder
Favorite unwritten rule. Pitchers. You kick. There's a ton.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
It used to be like when. When. When pitchers would hit, they would just get Fastballs, like, you would just line it up and, like, if you hit it, you can hit it. But that was probably my favorite.
Big Cat
Yeah, that would make sense. That would be your.
Rhett Louder
Why would you throw me a slide or anything? I haven't hit in. In years. But I don't know. There's a lot in the clubhouse, like, things you got to do, like being a rookie. I got to be there early. You got to stay on your toes. Yeah, stay on your toes.
Big Cat
Wait, are. You're technically a rookie this year because the eligibility. Because you played in 2024.
Rhett Louder
Yeah, I played in 24, but I was hurt last year, so I didn't meet the threshold to I have rookie eligibility.
Big Cat
Still got it. Do you get treated like a rookie?
Rhett Louder
Oh, yeah.
Big Cat
Oh, that sucks. I know you've, like, technically been in the big leagues.
Rhett Louder
Yeah, three years. I'm almost out of it, though. Pretty close to being out.
Dana
He's a Yak rookie. We should treat him like.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, do it.
Rhett Louder
Do it.
Brandon
Che already destroyed.
Rhett Louder
Yeah. That was brutal.
Big Cat
By just saying Ellie's name, you're going
Brandon
to think next time you've come at Che and the Cubs to have something
Rhett Louder
we need to win a game.
Jack
But wait, what's some of the stuff that the rookies have to do? Like bring the bus. Snacks.
Barstool Sports Announcer
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
Bring beer on the bus. Have a speaker. Pretty much just. You got to be on your toes for.
Big Cat
Got to dress up at 11 1.
Rhett Louder
Yeah, we'll have to dress up. I already did that, so hopefully I get an exemption for what you have
Big Cat
to dress up as.
Rhett Louder
In Cleveland, two years ago, we had to dress up as, like, Will Ferrell characters. I was like Talladega Knights.
Big Cat
Oh, that's.
Rhett Louder
We had to walk to dinner, like, five or six blocks and, like, go through the nice restaurant. Just dressed up and in Halloween costumes, basically.
Brandon
They didn't put you with the build.
Dana
That sounds kind of awesome.
Jack
Yeah, I like that. That's cool.
Big Cat
How awesome is Terry Francona? Because that guy, he feels like the most baseball guy. He's the best possible.
Rhett Louder
Yeah, he's the best. He's. Everyone loves him in the clubhouse. Like, he just. He's a player still, basically.
Hank
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
Like, gambling, saving money for, like, Calcuttas and. And all that stuff. Yeah, he's, like, leading the charge.
Big Cat
Does he drive a moped?
Rhett Louder
I don't think so. I've never seen him drive anything.
Big Cat
I think he might be a moped.
Dana
He doesn't.
Frankie
How important are clubhouse guys? That feels like a role on a baseball team that gets talked about is like, he's not. Listen, this guy is getting old. He's not very good, but you got to keep him around because he's a good clubhouse guy. Does that, actually.
Rhett Louder
For sure. I mean, I don't know about if the GM's thinking about that or not, but you have to have. I mean, it's a long year, and you'll get stuck in there, and, like, you get rain delay after rain delay, and you need guys to keep it loose and.
Frankie
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
Especially in a tough stretch, if you get losing, like, you need those guys to keep it.
Ella
Morales.
Big Cat
Yeah, but tell me if I'm wrong. Like, a club clubhouse guys can't really be pitchers, right. Because you guys are on, like, almost like a separate.
Rhett Louder
You can try. Yeah, there. I mean, there is a little bit, but you still get a little bit of saltiness from the position players. Like, playing every five. Like, I play every five days.
Big Cat
Right.
Rhett Louder
Do anything for the day.
Big Cat
Yeah, right.
Rhett Louder
What is this guy doing? Like, being happy, of course. Like, once a week.
Big Cat
Do you ever watch games in the bullpen?
Rhett Louder
No. I wish. I want to.
Big Cat
Why can't you?
Rhett Louder
I don't know. I think you got to be in the dugout.
Big Cat
What are you laughing.
Brandon
What are you laughing at?
Dana
What?
Brandon
Well, Kate's looking the other way, too.
Big Cat
What?
Brandon
Did something embarrassing happen?
Dana
I'm sorry. Sorry, I was just. I sneezed. I was sneezing.
Brandon
No.
Big Cat
Now you gotta say it.
Dana
No, I.
Jack
Okay.
Big Cat
Walked by the Statue of Liberty.
Dana
What are you doing?
Brandon
Tell her I said hi.
Ella
Hands behind your head. Take it, rook.
Big Cat
Come on, rook. Yeah, buddy. What are you gonna tell your fiance?
Frankie
Rhett, draw this to be nice and loose for tomorrow.
Big Cat
That's crazy.
Dana
Oh, I didn't see.
Big Cat
Oh, man.
Dana
Yeah, he snuffed that one off.
Rhett Louder
Yeah. I got to be on my toes here, too.
Big Cat
Yeah. Rookie A.
Rhett Louder
This is crazy.
Big Cat
Our guest.
Dana
So, who you got, Blutman or Dana?
Rhett Louder
I think I want Blutman to win it.
Hank
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
But I don't know, after I saw Meek. What? He spit on Dana. Like. Yeah.
Big Cat
Would you have caved his face in?
Rhett Louder
I don't know. He would take. He had to take his hand off, right?
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah, that's true.
Rhett Louder
It's good. I don't know. Meek spices everything up. Maybe you should bring him back in.
Frankie
Oh, Dana took his shoes off.
Big Cat
I think he did.
Rhett Louder
I think.
Brandon
I think Blutman's had his shoes off almost the whole time. He just put them all in.
Big Cat
Oh, these guys are in hell
Frankie
better than me, I'm telling you.
Dana
He's also wearing a diaper.
Frankie
He's off.
Big Cat
I bet you he's lost, like £10.
Brandon
I think it's just, you know, when you look thinner, when your arms are up. He should just walk around like that at all times.
Big Cat
Yeah, for sure. Ass popping. All right, so you can't do the gauntlet. Do you want to at least do a sporkle for time just to see how you do?
Rhett Louder
We can try it.
Big Cat
Yeah, let's do it. Okay.
Rhett Louder
Nervous under pressure, but yeah.
Big Cat
Did you guys come back this year?
Rhett Louder
Yeah, we'll be back.
Big Cat
All right, so maybe.
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Frankie
What's your best trivia topic?
Rhett Louder
Trivia topic? I'm not sure.
Frankie
What do you feel like you know a lot about? That would surprise some people.
Rhett Louder
I'm like, decent at history. Nothing crazy, though.
Brandon
History. So much stuff, though.
Rhett Louder
It's so.
Frankie
It's. It's everything. It's literally everything.
Brandon
It's not the future.
Rhett Louder
No, it's not the future.
Brandon
It will be.
Frankie
Future is not real, though.
Brandon
I'm surprised it's not the present.
Frankie
The future is just an idea.
Brandon
History is not now.
Big Cat
I feel like you're decent history if you just know a little bit about World War II.
Rhett Louder
Yeah. Just wars.
Big Cat
Yeah, that's what.
Rhett Louder
That's what I was meaning. Watched a couple movies.
Big Cat
Yeah, I watched some. I watched some Hitler stuff. Yeah, I'm decent in history.
Dana
There was a guy named Private Ryan.
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Brandon
It's just tough to say that your niche is Hitler.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
Right. But that's kind of what you're saying.
Brandon
Yeah, that's what you're saying when you
Big Cat
say decent in history.
Rhett Louder
Basically know when they start.
Big Cat
All right, we got one for him.
Rhett Louder
Oh, this is going to be brutal.
Dana
Yep.
Big Cat
All right, here we go. Rhett, you got this. And then we'll.
Frankie
We'll.
Big Cat
We'll figure out what your time would have been. You're doing 10. Yeah, 10. Ready? Waiting for you. All right, go.
Rhett Louder
I don't see anything. Two countries, three face cards. Queen, king, jack. 12. Sport team in California. Angels, Dodgers, Padres, Giants.
Big Cat
Oh, this guy, he knows baseball.
Rhett Louder
Ten things. Baseball, baseball. Hungry caterpillar, apple.
Dana
Does he only know baseball?
Rhett Louder
Black bear, polar bear, brown bear.
Frankie
Holy damn. Seconds.
Big Cat
Good.
Frankie
That would have been.
Rhett Louder
I feel like that's the. That's the hardest part. It's nerve wracking.
Kate
It is.
Big Cat
It is.
Frankie
Yeah.
Brandon
But when you're out of breath.
Rhett Louder
Yeah. You're gonna run around this place.
Brandon
29.
Big Cat
Really good time.
Frankie
Yeah.
Brandon
Put it on there.
Dana
So, hypothetically, would you have struggled with the basketball or the soccer?
Rhett Louder
I think basketball would have been fine. Cornwall had been fine. Soccer I mean, depends on how hard they're trying in goalie. I know that's a big debate here.
Frankie
Yeah.
Hank
Yeah.
Brandon
All right, so let's add a minute to that.
Rhett Louder
Yeah, Just add a minute. Put me in first.
Brandon
Damn good run. Yeah, you've beaten some.
Dana
You beat Avali Rushman, John Summit.
Brandon
We were just talking about him.
Frankie
Kyle, not too long ago.
Dana
Greg Olson, Ben Metz, Colton Kauser.
Rhett Louder
Am I the first red here?
Big Cat
And Jared from Subway you beat.
Kate
Oh, good.
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
That's good. Yeah. I don't know if you're the first red. That's a good question. Do we have some red?
Dana
We haven't had a red.
Jack
Do we list?
Big Cat
No.
Dana
We've had Marlins, Tigers, White Sox, perhaps,
Big Cat
maybe guys that have played for the Reds, but not. They weren't on the Reds at that time. Oh, yeah.
Dana
First, you got a lot of baseball players.
Frankie
A lot of baseball.
Rhett Louder
Yeah. We'll be back. We come to.
Brandon
This is the foremost baseball podcast during baseball season.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Frankie
Yeah.
Big Cat
Look at all the gas. What do you say, Titus?
Frankie
I don't know. I was about to ask, but I realized you're a rookie, so you wouldn't know any other way. I was going to ask about balance the. The scheduling in Major League Baseball. So you are coming back? I. As a. As an old guy. I wish. I wish you guys came to Wrigley, like, five times.
Rhett Louder
Oh, yeah.
Frankie
I wish, like, vision all the time. I was like, 100 out of the 162 games were division.
Rhett Louder
Yeah. The rivalries used to be crazy.
Frankie
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yep.
Rhett Louder
But I don't know what the exact schedule is now, but it used to be, like, 18.
Dana
18 games.
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Frankie
Crazy.
Big Cat
Four divisions. Yeah. That's perfect.
Frankie
Saw the same guys over and over.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Frankie
And then.
Dana
Yeah.
Frankie
Kind of started to hate them.
Big Cat
And it was just like, every time you'd gear up and be like, all right, we can. We can make some ground in the division.
Frankie
Yeah.
Big Cat
You know, we have three games against the team ahead of us, but I
Frankie
bet it's cool to be a player and, like, get a go to every stadium.
Big Cat
What's your favorite?
Rhett Louder
Probably this place is my favorite for sure so far.
Frankie
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
Wrigley's insane. I feel like Mincy a little bit. It's hard. Like, it actually is hard.
Frankie
It's hard to know what the voices are coming.
Hank
I'm sorry.
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Big Cat
Like, yeah.
Rhett Louder
Just looking right here, and I'm trying my best to look this way, and
Frankie
I feel like men's yellow.
Rhett Louder
It's tough.
Jack
At least you looked at us.
Dana
Even either way, giving an effort.
Rhett Louder
I'M trying my best. It's hard.
Brandon
Have you talked. Have you talked to Mint since you.
Rhett Louder
No, he peeked his head around the.
Tate
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
And I was like, oh, there he is.
Dana
He'll ask you when I walk. When I walked out to the bathroom, I heard him talking and I was like, oh, my God, he's found him.
Rhett Louder
No, I messed up.
Dana
I did it because, you know you were in the College World Series, right?
Rhett Louder
Yep.
Dana
And I'm sure he was there. Oh, there's no chance he wasn't there.
Rhett Louder
Yeah, yeah.
Big Cat
He's got a story that.
Rhett Louder
Is he going back this year?
Dana
Oh, he goes every year.
Rhett Louder
Yeah, he was definitely there.
Big Cat
Then he's got a sick story.
Dana
Plus, he's an LSU fan.
Rhett Louder
Oh, that's. Yeah. And he was. He was definitely. Yeah, definitely there.
Hank
What was your.
Frankie
What was your minor league baseball path?
Ella
I love this.
Rhett Louder
I started in high Dayton. Well, I got drafted in 2023, didn't play until 24.
Big Cat
Okay.
Rhett Louder
High Dayton, double A. Chattanooga for like 10 starts in double A. And did one start in A.
Dana
That's a good ballpark.
Frankie
So you did. Were you at any of these spots for very long?
Rhett Louder
The longest I was at was double A for. For probably two, three months.
Frankie
Oh. So. Yeah, that's not long.
Rhett Louder
I wasn't. No, it's different. It used to be you do a year at every level pretty much. Not that, like you got guys for flying now.
Frankie
So is that just all a whirlwind? You're just constantly being told, like, now you're on this team and now you're constantly moving?
Rhett Louder
Yeah, Yeah. I played on four different teams.
Dana
And in 2024, you're a college guy though, right? So, like. Yeah, you have to work your way up.
Rhett Louder
As much as college guys fly now. Well, I mean, Connor Griffin flew as a high school kid, but.
Frankie
What do you mean? But that's Connor Griffin, like, as opposed to the high school? Is that what you're saying, Brandon?
Rhett Louder
Yeah, it takes a little bit longer. Usually the college guys especially, like higher end, like first two round college guys, they'll just.
Frankie
You're more ready for the big time.
Rhett Louder
You're supposed to be, at least.
Frankie
Yeah, yeah.
Big Cat
How fast can you throw?
Rhett Louder
I'll get up to like 96.
Big Cat
That's pretty damn good.
Rhett Louder
Sometimes in the college playoffs, you'll get ramped up and throw a little bit harder. But I'm. I'm a sinker. Slider. Change up. Just move it around slower.
Big Cat
Have you ever thought about doing an EFIs?
Rhett Louder
No, but I said we. I mean, bad for us, we've been losing a couple games lately and had our backup catcher pitching. Yeah, he does not get hit. I think when you pitch a position player, they just don't get hit hard. Yeah, I don't know what it is. He actually had a strikeout. He doesn't mean knuckleball too, I think.
Big Cat
Guys, we had Schwarber in here a couple weeks ago. He said that he. He just always gets out against position for sure.
Rhett Louder
What Skubal told Max when he was prepping for getting guys out, like just lob it with the two seam. Like, I don't know how anyone would ever.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
Why doesn't everybody do that?
Rhett Louder
It's a bad look if you just give up a home run and you threw up 40 miles an hour.
Brandon
It's all about the optics.
Frankie
Kind of the same thing with a knuckleball, right?
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Frankie
The knuckleball looks like you see a guy that could throw a knuckleball well and you're like, why doesn't every pitch do this? But then you catch him on the right.
Rhett Louder
I would not want to come into the. That's why, I guess talk to Tito after. I just threw a 38 on out. What are you doing?
Brandon
So the Miners are kind of a grind, right? It's. It's the lodging and stuff like that and the games. Maybe it's. It's boring. Do you have any guys that are like it? I'm going to be a banana.
Dana
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
A lot of my former teammates have, but they're growing102,000 people this weekend. They're getting paid.
Big Cat
Dude, your stats from your last year wake force are insane.
Dana
Oh, that pitching staff was crazy.
Big Cat
That was a good 14 0.1.87. Erra, you never lost a game and you had 143 strikeouts in 120 innings.
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Big Cat
That's so pretty good. That's so sick. You didn't have guys on second base.
Rhett Louder
I tried not to. They still get there. But by that point, I mean for my freshman year, that video is for my freshman year. So they were pretty comfortable on second base that year.
Ella
But at what point in your career was your MLB optimism above like 80%?
Rhett Louder
Above 80? Probably after my sophomore year.
Ella
In your college of college?
Rhett Louder
Yeah. I wasn't very good in high school. Like, I was skinny. I didn't work out at all. I just showed up and I kind of got lucky to get to wake. And then once they got there, like, yeah, you're gonna have to gain like 30 pounds. So.
Ella
And that does Help.
Rhett Louder
And yeah, I started throwing like from 88 to like 95.
Ella
Oh, my God.
Brandon
God damn.
Rhett Louder
Yeah, I was just doing it for fun.
Dana
Wake is a pitching lab place, right?
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Ella
Also, like, they're like the sexy boys now of the.
Rhett Louder
Yeah, they're. They're tik tok crazy. They just have these edits go about them. I don't know. That wasn't. That wasn't really.
Brandon
As soon as you left, they became the sexy.
Rhett Louder
It's a bad look.
Dana
That sucks.
Rhett Louder
I was holding this
Brandon
now. Now that Rhett's gone, let's be sex.
Dana
There's a couple schools that are known for their pitching lab and being the best pitching lab place.
Frankie
Yeah, we have a literal lab.
Dana
Yeah, well, like a lab coat got the mound in front of all the screens and everything.
Rhett Louder
We have someone from the hospital, like working full staff.
Frankie
Oh, yeah. But science that goes into the pitch.
Rhett Louder
Our park was so small. Like, it's one of the smallest parks in college baseball. So you can never get any pitchers to come because everyone's like, I don't want to pitch there. It's tiny. Give up home runs left and right. So they just built like a multi million dollar lab just to draw in.
Big Cat
Lucas is just wearing underwear.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
Lucas.
Dana
It's ridiculous.
Big Cat
What are you doing? I'm wearing comfortable clothes.
Rhett Louder
Those.
Big Cat
That's underwear.
Rhett Louder
It's not. Can you see my underwear?
Dana
We think that is it.
Big Cat
That's your underwear.
Brandon
Oh, I hope you can't see my tatted thigh.
Dana
Oh, did you see it?
Brandon
Oh, is my tat peeking?
Rhett Louder
He might be in the next wake. At it.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Tate
Oh, yeah.
Barstool Sports Announcer
He's awake.
Kate
Boy.
Big Cat
For sure.
Frankie
How often? Oh, what's this?
Big Cat
Oh, yeah, I told you it was a moped.
Rhett Louder
I never saw this.
Big Cat
Yeah, I just remember Vegas,
Brandon
we love
Jack
you got a pair of slides.
Big Cat
I just vaguely remember reading a story about like, in Cleveland, he just drove a moped to the park every day.
Rhett Louder
That's. That's awesome.
Big Cat
Yeah. That's a baseball guy right there.
Frankie
How often do you work on your pickoff throws?
Rhett Louder
Probably not as much as I should.
Frankie
Is that something pitchers work on? Is that.
Rhett Louder
Yeah. Spring training. Spring training is gonna do all the nitty gritty like I think you guys talked about. You just feel like you do pfp. Like they just hit ground balls back to the pitchers. You do pick off moves. All the stuff that you're not gonna do.
Frankie
That sucks. That would suck.
Rhett Louder
Over.
Frankie
I was a pitcher drilling like, yeah,
Brandon
if I were away, I would never throw it to first.
Big Cat
They.
Brandon
The crowd hates you. Whenever. It's so unfair, automatically you suck.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
I would only do that at home.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Frankie
It is fascinating. Sometimes pitchers get put in spots to do something other than just throw the ball from the mound.
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Frankie
Some of them are like, I, Yeah. The grounders come to them, they're just like, it's crazy.
Hank
I don't know what to do.
Frankie
Yeah.
Big Cat
Why don't you do the fake ball goes by the first baseman more. The fake like, like a pickoff throw in. The first baseman pretends at the ball. You know what I mean?
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Big Cat
Like you kind of throw it away from them and they catch it. But then they, they try to, like they pretend to run to go get it, and then they turn around, just throw it.
Rhett Louder
See, that's probably like an unwritten rule. You do that and then the next time you're one of your guy teammates are up to bat and they get drilled because you're doing well.
Big Cat
You don't, you don't have to.
Rhett Louder
I don't have to hit that street. But then I. Yeah.
Ella
Do they make you get drilled by a fastball? Like cops get pepper sprayed.
Rhett Louder
Gotta step in on the pitching machine before you can play. Get a werewolf. Everybody does. No, they don't.
Frankie
But yeah, you have to understand your power.
Ella
Would you guys rather get hit by an MLB fastball or get tackled by like a linebacker? You get the pads, I don't know, tackled.
Frankie
I don't know.
Ella
The fastball probably hurts more, but the tackle, it can long term, but you can.
Jack
It depends on where it hits me.
Frankie
I would pick.
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
Well, how much? Like, like if you can wear like the Barry Bonds gear.
Brandon
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
You get prep for it.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
Brace.
Ella
Yeah, you can brace.
Dana
Yeah, if you can brace. I feel like I choose.
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Frankie
I don't know.
Brandon
I think, I think I'm changing because the tackle could ruin my life.
Big Cat
When you, when you have to retaliate, does someone tell you or you just know?
Rhett Louder
You kind of know. I haven't had to do it yet.
Big Cat
But you didn't have to do it.
Dana
Wake.
Rhett Louder
No.
Big Cat
Okay.
Rhett Louder
Surprisingly, I bet now with the, with the edits and everything, they might be getting.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah.
Big Cat
Hot boys are getting through.
Rhett Louder
Yeah, I haven't had to do it, but yeah, you, you kind of know and then somebody will tell you.
Frankie
You ever had a benches clearing brawl during a game year?
Rhett Louder
No, actually the closest I've been is in high school in the playoff game. I'm from really small town. We lose a playoff game and one of the parents just down the sideline is chirping at Our guys and our guys. Senior, last game he's ever gonna play. Hops the fence on the parents. Like 18 year old.
Big Cat
I like it.
Dana
Oh, yeah.
Rhett Louder
So we had a clear. We had to clear benches for that. But I kind of just walk over there, kind of just like peeking what's going on?
Ella
Parent being dad.
Big Cat
If it was the mom. Yeah.
Jack
But baseball moms get crazy.
Hank
Oh, yeah.
Jack
They get really crazy.
Rhett Louder
Oh, yeah.
Brandon
Do you ever have the fear of somebody huge charging the mound?
Rhett Louder
Yeah, I don't think about it sometimes. I think about what I would do.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
You just gotta stand there strong and then just hope someone gets.
Big Cat
Hope your catcher gets up.
Rhett Louder
Like, I'm ready for it. I'm ready for it. And then, boom, somebody grabs him. Like, oh, man. I was ready for that.
Frankie
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
You're not ready for it.
Dana
I'd sprint to center field.
Brandon
Oh, yeah.
Barstool Sports Announcer
I'd run away.
Big Cat
I think you just got to do the move where you just take their. You know, I mean, like, you almost do a matador where you just take their momentum. Because then if you get on the
Frankie
ground, you're like, I won Pedro and Don Zimmer.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah. Or I always. I never understood why catchers don't trip. Like, if I was. If I were a catcher and a guy started charging the mountain, I'd just
Rhett Louder
be like, trip him.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Ella
But back.
Big Cat
Now you're on the ground. Yeah.
Ella
I'd rather be the pitcher than the guy who's forced in his head to charge the mound.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Ella
You're running toward him like, yeah. What would I do?
Big Cat
Yeah. You really have to think fast.
Frankie
You take three steps like, this might be.
Ella
Am I that guy?
Frankie
I throw a bunch of. Has anyone ever charged. Not the pitcher somewhere, But if everyone ever been like this third baseman won't stop talking.
Rhett Louder
The. The. The hitter, he got hit by a pitch and then just like karate.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Brandon
But just like dropping the bat and sprinting to left field.
Rhett Louder
I've been waiting for my mom.
Frankie
I would do that. If the pitcher was like a big dude and I was a batter and I was pissed off. I just picked someone else to fight
Brandon
right by the show.
Big Cat
Give me the second base all day.
Jack
The ball boy.
Rhett Louder
Oh, my goodness.
Jack

They text you to tell you they blogged or they text you the link to the blog.
Frankie
Wow.
Ella
A link to the blog is already published. Yeah, they hope you tweeted with any, like, extra text?
Big Cat
No.
Ella
Okay, check this out.
Jack
Is it somebody who frets about their job a lot?
Big Cat
No. I don't know how this started.
Brandon
Are they viewed as a blogger? Primarily, yes.
Jack
Are they in the Chicago office?
Big Cat
No.
Jack
What the hell?
Tate
Are they in New York?
Jack
Do this, Nate.
Ella
I can't tell what type of personality would even do that.
Big Cat
Greg, Greeny, Vindog sends me everything.
Brandon
Respect. Those are good reads.
Dana
Yeah, I saw that.
Kate
Yeah.
Dana
Oh, wow.
Hank
Yeah.
Tate
Oh, wow.
Big Cat
Every single blog, they're good reads.
Brandon
Oh, every single one.
Big Cat
I'm not lying.
Dana
And Dan, you haven't answered him in years.
Big Cat
If you text me something actual like not a blog, I'll. Yeah, that's conversation. Real conversation. Every single blog.
Brandon
The dog's good guy.
Big Cat
I think he actually DMs it to me too, just to make sure that I got it.
Dana
Just covering all his bases, man.
Jack
Yeah, smart.
Big Cat
He just keeps it, you know. Oh, nice. Rhett took a piss in the trough.
Brandon
Oh, no way.
Frankie
Oh, yeah. It's huge.
Brandon
Wait, you got a picture of it?
Big Cat
Tom sent me a picture of him dick in his hand.
Kate
Nice.
Dana
He ran over there.
Big Cat
I don't know. He might have done it earlier.
Dana
Oh, earlier.
Big Cat
Did you guys bring up on. Mostly I assumed that. We're gonna try to get some blue turf.
Dana
What? No.
Big Cat
Yeah, from Idaho, Boise. Selling their blue turf. They're redoing it.
Dana
Oh, I didn't know that.
Ella
Selling that like just a piece or what? Yeah, 10 yards.
Big Cat
Selling its old blue turf. Someone.
Dana
I mean, with the stuff you're buying, this is a no brainer.
Big Cat
Dude, imagine if that whole thing is
Jack
blue over there, installed in there, and
Big Cat
it was the actual blue turf.
Ella
Yeah, that's iconic.
Big Cat
That's. That's memorabilia. That works for you.
Dana
Dude, somebody paid 25,000 for 400ft port. That's a good deal.
Big Cat
Yeah, 400. I don't know how much. I can't.
Jack
400 square feet is turf going for these days. What's the.
Dana
I don't want to be. Is that 20x20?
Big Cat
I have no idea.
Dana
Yeah, 20 by 20.
Big Cat
20 by 20.
Rhett Louder
Right.
Dana
There you go. 8s blue.
Brandon
Nice. I don't think that's a.
Big Cat
That's not a lot.
Brandon
That's not a lot of area.
Jack
$5,000.
Frankie
What is that, like 20ft by 20?
Big Cat
So we're going to get like a. We're going to get a square of blue turf.
Dana
My collector brain going.
Big Cat
We're going to get a spot.
Dana
You could do it.
Big Cat
A whole wall of it. No, no, we're going to put on the ground.
Dana
No, I'm saying what.
Brandon
What I would do if you were still a collector.
Dana
Yeah, but I'm not a collector. I. I'm out of that game. Yeah.
Frankie
Is it the size of this room?
Dana
I think we're a little. I think we're more than 20ft wide.
Brandon
Length. Yeah, probably 20 deep.
Dana
I'm going to say we're 20 by
Brandon
30, but also, I'm not good at that.
Dana
No, no, that feel about right. 20 by 30.
Frankie
This is definitely longer than 20.
Dana
This is 30. Yeah, this is 20. So that's what. I'm guessing that might be more.
Big Cat
Oh, we could blue that six studio.
Brandon
That would be cool.
Dana
We blew Turf to the ACT studio.
Big Cat
That would be so sick.
Dana
But that's $25,000. If we just got like three by three. He was.
Big Cat
Got a little nice square.
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon
If Dana wins this, we'll have him buy it.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dana
If he wants his bonus.
Big Cat
Is there a second? Is there second place prize?
Brandon
No.
Dana
No. Oh, Bloodman's. They're both bare feet now.
Brandon
I think maybe that's the rule.
Dana
Oh, yeah.
Big Cat
What's up, Danny?
Dana
Hey.
Rhett Louder
Hey. What?
Dana
I miss the whole first hour.
Jack
Is Blackman wet or he. No, he just looks.
Dana
No, he is wet.
Frankie
He's that.
Brandon
Oh, they're wet and I think they're freezing them out, maybe.
Dana
Oh.
Jack
Because they must be making them.
Dana
Bloodman is soaked, but Dana's not.
Big Cat
Why is he soaked?
Dana
I don't know, but he looks so to me.
Big Cat
He's not.
Brandon
He's not.
Dana
What's his different?
Brandon
It could be general grime.
Jack
Could be.
Kate
It's just how I'm wired. I don't want to have alcohol in my life. That's how it is. I don't want to have drugs.
Big Cat
Respect.
Rhett Louder
Respect.
Big Cat
That's how I do things.
Dana
Having deep conversation.
Big Cat
I feel the same way right now. He's talking about this because Dana offered to quit if Liam chugs a beer.
Dana
Whoa, Liam.
Big Cat
Dude.
Jack
Liam's sticking with his principles.
Frankie
Listen, I love that about Blutman. He does not bend. He knows who he is.
Big Cat
And I love that about beers that he's just trying to make other people.
Frankie
Yeah.
Dana
$30,000 after my drink of beer.
Ella
What if he just did it real fast?
Frankie
I'm so desperate to bring beers back that I will give you 30 grand to drink this one beer.
Dana
He offered to quit if he drank a beer.
Big Cat
What a shitty way for that to end this stream. Dana would feel like such an idiot. Just chugs a beer. He's like, all right, there you go. You wasted two Days in there.
Dana
When does it end? They seem like, I don't know, gas left.
Big Cat
But that's kind of the exciting part of, like, two left. Like, they. I think this could go all week.
Brandon
I think this ends by an accident. Somebody slides off somebody.
Liam
Yeah, Dana's due for a full accident.
Ella
Getting drunk is risky.
Brandon
It's the longest he's gone without.
Big Cat
Oh, you're right. Getting drunk.
Ella
Is it just really.
Brandon
Dude, I don't know. I think it's a baseline.
Jack
I think he's counting the beer as, like, a food source for himself.
Brandon
Like a. Oh, that's kind of smart.
Ella
Wait, so they are. They're not allowed to eat?
Brandon
I don't think so.
Ella
Or drink water.
Dana
Bloodman got him some water by getting a million retweet and million somethings today.
Big Cat
Views.
Hank
Views.
Big Cat
It would be funny if Dana died of starvation. Like, day two and a half.
Dana
Be hilarious.
Brandon
Yeah, it. It would just be funny.
Dana
Our he just collapses.
Brandon
Wait, who starved to death?
Big Cat
The fastest starvation ever. So you can go, like, what? You can go, like, hundreds of days, right?
Brandon
Yeah.
Big Cat
Data couldn't do with water. Didn't Gandhi do, like.
Ella
Yeah, the number is always.
Big Cat
It's insane.
Ella
You always hear a crazy number.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Really?
Big Cat
Dana just can't make 48 hours without an onion ring.
Dana
Kyle, I'm worried. You got a pivot on this, on these baseball players. They're on to you.
Big Cat
Well, he's what I say, but I
Dana
think a lot of the guys that
Frankie
want to call the office, I'm doing
Ella
it just to play the hits at the point.
Dana
Like, Freelick was a fan last year. These baseball players come in. We get one out of every 25 players on team that are just huge fans.
Brandon
The bigs are filled with Dean heads.
Big Cat
The thing. The perfect combo is crazy when we get, like, three guys, because usually it's one guy's a huge fan, and the other two guys you can get.
Ella
Right.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Liam
How have vibes been today? I haven't tuned in. Who do you think has the lead?
Dana
I think it's pretty. 50 50.
Big Cat
It's really fair.
Dana
And I think the Internet and us are pretty. We're okay with if either win.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Ella
Definitely.
Frankie
Well said, Brandon. That's exactly how I feel.
Brandon
My man.
Frankie
50 50.
Dana
I got your fam.
Barstool Sports Announcer
Danny, you had the most shocking moment of last night.
Frankie
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah. We got to talk about this.
Liam
You guys have never heard that word, the Latin word meaning egregious.
Big Cat
Okay.
Brandon
What.
Dana
What you say?
Liam
Gregorious Act.
Brandon
Agarous act.
Big Cat
I was walking up, so you never come across that word before in your
Brandon
life, or have you always said it like that?
Liam
I was walking up. I was. I was very nervous because I knew Dana was going to hate this ruling and Tate wasn't there to deliver it. And so I was so focused on what I was going to say. The alternative was, like, the punishment and the fact that him and Liam will be able to sit now. And I was like, wait, how do I describe this act? And I was torn between egregious, horrid, and horrendous. And then my brain just put them all together and said, agregoris. Because no one's ever made it far here sounding smart.
Brandon
You're right. And then good career move.
Liam
And then white boy Rick sleep. Sleeping on this one. But no, it was an aggregator's act. I'm standing by it. You guys have probably already talked about this, but where do we stand on the Meek Phil thing? The fact that people are online saying, like. Like saying that we're.
Big Cat
Oh, I don't that many people. No, no, it's. But also, there's also people who are like, he should be fired.
Liam
Yeah.
Big Cat
I don't think that's fair either.
Dana
We'll put him in a room and deprived him of everything for two days.
Rhett Louder
Like, people.
Big Cat
It's not normal circuit. If he spit on someone just out of, like, if we're in the gambling cave.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
On a Sunday and he turned around and spit on someone, then it's like, all right, we gotta have a real conversation.
Dana
Like when Max did a speech in the fall. If he'd have spit on him after.
Big Cat
Yes. Right. Then it's like, all right, we gotta have a real conversation. This is a torture stream.
Tate
He was rabid.
Big Cat
Yeah. No, he looked rabid.
Liam
Yes, he was. I mean, he did that after he was warned. And we were like, all right, calm. Calm down, calm down.
Big Cat
Did you see Dave release the highlight video of him?
Tate
No. No.
Big Cat
It's pretty good. I don't know if you could play with the sound.
Brandon
That's just gonna have him acting worse.
Big Cat
Oh, yeah, no, Dave is. Dave is the number one meek enabler for sure. Because he also doesn't have to spend any time with him.
Liam
Has anyone addressed the fact that today is Meek Mills birthday?
Big Cat
Oh, Meek Phil.
Dana
I always really haven'.
Ella
Meek Phil's trend.
Liam
Meek Mill is going to go on Twitter. See, he's trending. Obviously, it's because of my birthday.
Ella
Who's showing love?
Liam
Going to see a guy spitting and throwing milk on people.
Big Cat
This is highlight tape. I think it's a Meek Mill song. And he's in Surviving. Yeah. Yeah. So, Brandon, you're doing it, huh?
Dana
I'm doing it.
Frankie
Congrats, Brandon.
Brandon
Oh, you regret it?
Frankie
Finally got it.
Dana
Yeah.
Frankie
Got that spot you wanted.
Dana
I'm doing it. I'm doing it.
Big Cat
Do you guys think Annika and Nikki are gonna. Oh, my.
Dana
Oh, that's crazy.
Liam
And Brandon and Nick.
Brandon
Yeah, we will.
Big Cat
Yeah. So we're not doing YAK that week. There's no live programming that week during Survival. Really?
Brandon
Under lock and key.
Big Cat
Yes.
Dana
You enjoy your week off, Titus.
Frankie
So, I mean, it sounds like everybody's got.
Big Cat
If you. If you're. If you're a YAK fan who's upset about that, you can blame Brandon.
Frankie
Yeah.
Dana
What I do.
Big Cat
You're on the cast.
Dana
So is Nick.
Brandon
Last time I was on, I. I don't know.
Big Cat
I just see your face. So it's you.
Brandon
Last time I was on, I. We yacked during the week.
Dana
Yeah, but, you know, last time you weren't as big a superstar as you are now.
Jack
Oh, Nick, you're doing it.
Brandon
Yeah.
Jack
Hell yeah, Brandon.
Dana
You're gonna say hell yeah to me?
Big Cat
It is very funny. That Meek Phil. They announced it this morning, and Meek Phil's on it after everything that transpired.
Hank
Yeah.
Brandon
So what scares me is there's space on that poster for two more.
Jack
What are you thinking?
Dana
I don't know. I don't like that at all.
Brandon
Right.
Frankie
Interesting.
Brandon
Yeah.
Big Cat
We'll figure out the schedule. It's the week before Memorial Day, so I got the schedule for the back half of the week, but I know that we're surviving and shutting everything down.
Brandon
Can we pre record that? Like, one or two.
Big Cat
Good.
Brandon
Sorry. Sorry, guys.
Dana
I said no for a while, and then I ended up saying yes. But I am firmly on the camp that I. I'm probably getting voted out first or second.
Big Cat
Okay.
Brandon
Who doesn't like you? Annika likes you a lot. Dana loves you.
Dana
You and Danny know me. Dante doesn't like me.
Brandon
Dante doesn't know you.
Dana
Glenny. Me and him don't know each other. Really. Ella's probably 50.
Brandon
50 fights. Loves you.
Dana
Fights is fine. Katic is just kidding. Will get me out. He.
Jack
Oh, Glenny, I didn't notice that.
Liam
You're not enough of a threat to be voted out.
Dana
Phil hates everybody.
Ella
Phil will get voted first.
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Frankie
I would assume so.
Dana
Yeah.
Frankie
I said. I said I think Brandon could be taken to the end because he's going to complain about, like, the bed situation.
Dana
Yeah.
Frankie
Like, the food. Sit. Like, he's gonna be like, this sucks. I want to go home, see my family.
Brandon
It's funny around.
Jack
Yeah.
Frankie
And everybody's gonna be like, we should keep them. Wouldn't that be funny?
Dana
Well, they're flying me.
Frankie
Don't vote Brandon out. You wants to go home, Are they? Yeah.
Dana
That was when you're in my own bed.
Brandon
Yeah, you have. You have a room for your wife and kids. Conal visits.
Big Cat
What a cast.
Frankie
That should be your strategy, Brandon. Just campaign to go home so badly that they won't. People want to with you.
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon
That's pretty good. I'm so miserable.
Frankie
God, please vote me out. I just want to see my family.
Dana
Kill me already.
Frankie
It'll be good. I like this cast.
Big Cat
Yeah? Yeah.
Liam
It kind of feels pretty Buddy. Buddy.
Dana
Except for Pat.
Brandon
Yep.
Jack
Yep. Same with Rome.
Dana
It's a good. It's a good mix of big names like Nick and young guys like me.
Big Cat
What's that headshot?
Dana
I don't know.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Ella
What is that from?
Dana
I don't know.
Brandon
You're leaning forward like you're shitting.
Dana
I obviously took this.
Frankie
Oh, my God.
Dana
I don't know.
Brandon
I think that's from our Black Friday photo shoot for mostly this.
Big Cat
You look mean.
Brandon
That's your model face.
Big Cat
I mean, nice beard, though.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
This look good lineup.
Dana
I mean, Annika's looking. The whole top row is looking mean together.
Big Cat
You're serving right there.
Ella
Kind of art.
Dana
Yeah. All right, so there's that.
Big Cat
So, yeah, we'll. We'll figure out the schedule and let everyone know. But yeah, as of right now, surviving shutting down. I think it's shutting down everything. Like wub, mostly yak that whole week.
Brandon
Really?
Big Cat
That's what I heard. I don't know.
Brandon
Jeff D. Lowe has some pool. Yeah.
Dana
Jeffy. There's not going to be any shows on my watch.
Jack
I'm kind of glad because previous years, like, coming in to do the act and there'd just be somebody, like, sobbing in the kitchen.
Dana
And it was awkward. We were sitting here.
Frankie
It was weird. They were doing challenge Last year was last year was the word. The last time they did it far. That was awful.
Dana
This glass closed. And they're doing challenges on the other
Frankie
side, five feet away. And you hear, yo, gun.
Hank
And we.
Frankie
We're told, do not acknowledge it. Do not even. And we're just sitting here like, yeah, I don't know. Helena Troy probably busted. I would her over there.
Big Cat
Let's go.
Frankie
You know, chest pumping.
Brandon
I remember walking in and I had to, like, Kelly Kes was sobbing in front of the K cups, and I had to just kind of like, move her. Get my big cat. Don't mind me.
Jack
Scoot you over here.
Frankie
We'll do us proud, Nick.
Big Cat
Thanks, man,
Frankie
For all of us.
Jack
Glad we have a representative.
Ella
Please.
Brandon
I'm gonna try my best, but we'll see.
Rhett Louder
I.
Liam
You won before, right?
Dana
No, buddy.
Big Cat
No, no, no.
Brandon
It came down to a tiebreaker.
Big Cat
And you won more money before.
Brandon
Oh, yeah.
Big Cat
Donnie.
Ella
Yo, Dawn.
Dana
You look cool.
Jack
Look at the back of his pants. He's got cool pants.
Brandon
Wait, let's. What are the back your pants?
Jack
He's got, like, a little, like.
Hank
I don't know, it's got some on him.
Jack
Like a party.
Dana
Oh, wow.
Hank
What's up?
Dana
Hey, man.
Brandon
Good to see you.
Hank
Good to see you guys.
Big Cat
How are you feeling?
Hank
I'm still recovering a little bit.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
A little tired a little. But better than worse, you know, to go skiing.
Big Cat
Yeah, Better than worse.
Frankie
Better than worse.
Hank
Better than worse. No snow ski. Well.
Tate
Well,
Frankie
Johnny ETU say it ain't so fun.
Big Cat
I see what you like about skiing. Let's say that.
Ella
Yeah, man.
Hank
It's always fun.
Brandon
The Colombian Alps.
Dana
What was.
Big Cat
I was telling them that you. You, Jerry and Dante went to tiesto on Saturday night. All time crew.
Brandon
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
That was a good.
Hank
That was a good crew. We dropped you off at the. The back of the hotel, and then we went. Dante got us. Dante has all the hookups? Yeah, it's like the nicest booth back behind Diesto. And then.
Dana
Wait, Jerry o' Connell wasn't the one with hookups.
Big Cat
No, Dante. No, it was Dante. Yeah. And I was. I. I felt like a loser. But again, I didn't really care because there was just a moment every single night at, like, 1:30, I was like, yeah, I'm ready. So we were at the strip club, and I was just like, I'm getting the out of here. But then they're like, we're going to Tiesto.
Ella
Tiesto.
Brandon
Are you a strip club guy? Chef stuff?
Hank
Not particularly.
Big Cat
Yeah, these were very aggressive strippers.
Hank
Yeah, they were all over the place. Yeah, they were mad aggressive.
Brandon
In what way?
Big Cat
They just, like. It was like. It was like the scene from Field of Dreams when they came out of the cornfield.
Brandon
Okay.
Big Cat
And it just was like they were. They're multiplying.
Jack
Like a salesman at a furniture store.
Hank
Yeah, well, he walked in and they had. They. One person would grab your arm, like, as you were walking.
Big Cat
Yeah. You could take him.
Hank
Yeah, you got. You got yanked around a little.
Ella
Taken.
Frankie
Yanked.
Hank
I didn't get yanked around. No, no. Yank.
Big Cat
No, no. And Dante Was building his. He has a move at the strip club where he sits at the front row and he builds. Builds like legos of $1 bills.
Brandon
Like house of cards.
Big Cat
Yeah, like everyone he's pft. Said that like all the strippers were like, wow, this guy's so cool.
Jack
Like he builds like a house.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah. House of money. Origamis. Yeah, yeah.
Hank
Dante had a great show. Great, great weekend. Besides the first night when he did a recap and then.
Big Cat
Yeah, like, and just he thought he was on spring break.
Hank
On everyone besides you and Hank. He said everyone else here.
Big Cat
I don't know what I did because I went home early on Friday, but I don't know. I made the sphere.
Brandon
I think you get leeway when you foot the bill.
Big Cat
Yeah, the sphere was pretty expensive. That was like that. Yeah, that was.
Liam
How much of what the Don said was a lie. Like at the first night when he was saying he was the only one up and you guys replied, big time lie.
Hank
Yeah, that was a lie.
Big Cat
Hank and, and Jack and Donnie didn't sleep. They were. They. They went right to the cabana.
Brandon
How'd Jack stay up?
Hank
It's a good question.
Frankie
I don't know.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
The pool.
Hank
The pool felt like it was a million years long. We were there.
Dana
It's a big ass pool.
Frankie
Billion years long. Oh my God.
Hank
Still not all that.
Frankie
Oh man.
Dana
What?
Frankie
Imagine swimming in.
Brandon
Did it feel big or did it feel like you were in there for a long time?
Hank
That was what I was going for.
Brandon
Which one?
Ella
I think you meant it felt a long time ago.
Hank
No, it felt when we got. We got there and I thought it was like 3, 4pm and it was 11am Still.
Kate
It was.
Hank
The day felt very long.
Big Cat
It was a very long day.
Hank
It's a long day.
Big Cat
It's a very long. A long day.
Hank
It was a long day, but all time weekend. I don't know if I'll ever be. I don't think I'll ever be able to top that. That's like a once in a lifetime something out of a movie. It was insane.
Dana
But what about your best for party this few years?
Frankie
You just had a once in a lifetime ski trip.
Rhett Louder
You said to friends, well, this is different.
Frankie
I was like a month ago.
Hank
Different category of trip.
Dana
Yeah. Mark.
Liam
Different ski trip.
Hank
Different. Different. Different kind of trip.
Frankie
How many. How many once in a lifetime trips can a man take?
Hank
And well, you get as many as you want.
Brandon
Yeah, I guess all trips are different.
Hank
Get different trips. So I had my once in a lifetime ski trip and then I had my once in a lifetime ski. Ish. Trip. Skiish.
Dana
Do you think that makes it not once in a lifetime?
Big Cat
No.
Hank
I'll never be able to do what I did again in Vegas.
Brandon
So working with Billy Sushi, was that once in a lifetime?
Hank
Yeah, that was a once in a lifetime sushi.
Brandon
The sushi. Once in a lifetime sushi.
Hank
Once a lifetime Sushi.
Frankie
I guess.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
Okay. Everything's once in a lifetime if you think about it.
Frankie
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Frankie
It's true.
Hank
No, what are you talking about?
Dana
Doing the yak every day is not. What.
Brandon
No. We talk about the same Holy. No, yeah, the yak.
Hank
Yeah. But for some people it might be whoever. You have a guest that comes in
Dana
going to the bathroom.
Hank
All right, Brandon, you're missing the point.
Brandon
Every shit's different.
Dana
What's the point?
Hank
It was a. It was a great weekend. This might is all I got.
Brandon
100 years long now big cat deemed you the MVP. Do you think that's.
Dana
That's big?
Hank
I don't know about that. That's. That's generous, but no. There are a lot of MVPs. There's a lot of.
Brandon
I think that's not how MVPs work.
Jack
Who is the best?
Brandon
You don't know.
Big Cat
Best vibes is Dante.
Hank
I was just down for whatever that's.
Jack
You're an important key of the weekend for everybody. If you're.
Big Cat
Yeah, Yeah.
Hank
I was trying to get everyone. I was making sure everyone was up and like when people were trying to take naps, I said, we can't. There's no napping. We gotta go.
Big Cat
We got.
Hank
If you can't stand tonight, try to get everyone on the same page.
Brandon
This was your first time in Vegas? Actually enjoying it?
Hank
Yeah.
Brandon
Are you a Vegas guy?
Hank
If we do Vegas like we just did, then. Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah.
Big Cat
I'm hard not to be when you. I'm back.
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Hank
I'm that kind of Vegas guy. Staying in Sweden, going to the Sphere and the nicest clubs. Yeah. Who's not? But the last time I was in Vegas, we stayed at the Flamingo on the Strip. So.
Big Cat
Yeah, the.
Ella
Quite the.
Hank
Quite the difference in trips, for sure.
Big Cat
Oh, man.
Hank
This one was awesome, though.
Big Cat
Yeah, we had it. It was a little confusing because we had Dom, Donnie and Don. And it was just like we were saying all of them together and everyone was just like, what? Who are you talking to right now? And Dante is fully deaf.
Rhett Louder
He's deaf.
Hank
Can't hear his.
Big Cat
He's just. His volume control would just get out of con. Like we'd be at dinner in one. One second, we'd have a conversation, then he'd just be screaming.
Liam
He talks as if there's an ambulance passing.
Big Cat
Yeah, sometimes.
Hank
Yeah. Dante looked sharp every night. The suits might be.
Big Cat
Oh, yeah.
Hank
Might they bring a suit next time if I ever go back.
Big Cat
He also. They did have a funny moment where he and Jerry o', Connell, their friendship almost ended, even though it was only like, two hours long, because Jerry just said to Dante at dinner, he was just like, I think Jeffrey Epstein actually did kill himself. Dante was like, I thought you were smart.
Brandon
That's the.
Big Cat
That's.
Brandon
That is spitting on Dante.
Dana
That.
Big Cat
How could you? How could you. What time did you guys get back yesterday?
Hank
4, 5, 5:30. And it was two hours in traffic.
Big Cat
Oh.
Frankie
Oh.
Hank
So.
Big Cat
Oh.
Frankie
And then.
Hank
But Jack had to go right to a bocce game.
Big Cat
He's in a box. I saw that.
Hank
He went right from basically the airport, got out, dropped his off, and went and played bocce.
Big Cat
Insane. Yeah.
Hank
I don't know how he did it.
Big Cat
What a monster Beast.
Hank
He's a beast.
Frankie
Least.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
Bocce is the closest sport to sleeping, though. If you had to do one sport when you got back from Vegas, tired, it's bocce, I guess.
Hank
But just going back to a bar after that, that's Tough weekend. Yeah, that's.
Big Cat
It is the closest sport to sleeping.
Brandon
It's up there.
Big Cat
I'm trying to think about any other sport that comes close.
Hank
Shuffleboard.
Brandon
Yeah.
Big Cat
It's kind of like bocce adjacent. Same with curling.
Frankie
Yeah.
Ella
Being like a really bad wrestler who
Big Cat
just, like, lays down, loses.
Ella
And real quick, every man. Any inside jokes? Was anyone overly sentimental? I kept saying how much they love you.
Big Cat
We did speeches on Saturday night, and Zach gave a pretty routine speech, and Dante was like, that was the greatest speech ever seen in my entire life.
Brandon
Dante's great to have in the crew because he'll just hype you up.
Hank
One of Max's brothers gave a speech. Nick. And then he. All he did was talk about the Sixers.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
But that was probably really touching to Max.
Jack
Yeah.
Brandon
Like, wow, that was beautiful. Thank you, man.
Hank
The Delonte brothers were unbelievable. That that was the. That the three of them together is a sight to see.
Big Cat
They're just. They're carbon copies of each other.
Brandon
They will.
Hank
There's a picture of them waking up McCarthy from a nap, and both of his. His older brothers are slapping. Slapping Jack in the face.
Rhett Louder
Like it.
Hank
Yeah. Those three are great.
Frankie
Did.
Brandon
Did Hank sleep through the Celtics game seven?
Big Cat
No. Slept up until it okay. Yeah. He was right. Right? He was right there.
Brandon
Were you hoping that he slept through it?
Big Cat
I thought he was always gonna. Gonna do a. I thought he was always gonna set an alarm. He was also really pissed at us because we got a clip of him sleeping in the cabana, and we were not supposed to put out clips, so it was tense for a minute.
Dana
You broke the rule.
Big Cat
We did, but we were promoting the show.
Brandon
Okay.
Ella
How was that?
Big Cat
It was great.
Ella
That was the show.
Big Cat
It was awesome.
Brandon
Theater looked unbelievable.
Big Cat
YouTube theater. And it was so. The Netflix is a joke festival. Like, it's hard because there's. There's like, 40 comedy shows in a week. So I don't think we really realized when we got into it, like, we're selling tickets against, like, Jerry Seinfeld. You know what I mean? Like, I think he had a show last night, but it ended up being. I think we got to, like, 90 capacity. So it was pretty damn cool. 3,000 people.
Brandon
Is that where they do the Oscars?
Big Cat
I don't know.
Brandon
Is that the YouTube theater?
Big Cat
We are on the wall thing?
Dana
I don't think so.
Kate
The Hollywood.
Brandon
I don't know.
Dana
That's not the Hollywood.
Big Cat
It was awesome. It was a cool show. It was like. We had Jerry o' Connell and Rebecca Romaine, Blake Griffin and Ryan Rosillo. Some memories, some. All that stuff. So it was fun.
Hank
Were you guys gassed for that show or that? Would you have a good.
Big Cat
We recovered a little. Yeah, a little bit. I think a lot of people slept. I went to Shane Gillis on Monday night, which was awesome. Hollywood Bowls, like, the coolest venue of all time. Time. It's like an outdoor theater. That's just sick.
Ella
Gotta get there.
Big Cat
Yeah, you gotta get there, dude. You gotta do.
Ella
I gotta do like you guys just did.
Big Cat
Your bachelor party's coming up.
Hank
I'm honestly impressed. You got it. But you got up at 6am to golf on Monday.
Big Cat
I did.
Hank
You've had. You've had a motor the whole weekend.
Big Cat
I had to. That was. So we were. We were golfing on Saturday or Sunday, and we were at the halfway house at 9, and there was a guy with a badger hat on. I was like, oh, you're a badger. And he's like, yeah, I'm Ted Kellner, who's like, the number one badger donor.
Dana
Oh, really?
Big Cat
Felt like an idiot. And then he's like, yeah, look behind you is Barry Alvarez. So I talked to them. There was a, like, alumni event on Monday. And they're like, come out.
Dana
I was like, all right. Fine.
Big Cat
I gotta come out.
Brandon
Did they thank you for getting the chancellor ousted?
Big Cat
No comment. And so, yeah, I woke up at like 5 in the morning on Monday to go play golf, which was very fun. And Frank. Frank Kaminsky absolutely mogged me. He's so big. We took a picture together.
Hank
I saw it.
Ella
Oh, yeah, it's huge.
Big Cat
It's not fair.
Ella
He looks big.
Brandon
He's.
Big Cat
He's a monster.
Ella
So I believe he's big.
Big Cat
But yeah, that was. That was a long day. And then drove all the way to la. I'm trying to find the Max Brother clip because they're so funny.
Liam
Frank Kaminsky. Was he the first athlete that ever worked for Barstool?

Dana
I'll do the thing after we watch it.
Big Cat
I want to hear what you say.
Dana
Well, I mean, we are ignoring the biggest news of the week and probably the. The month, maybe the year the Chicago outfit was out of control.
Big Cat
Oh yeah, the.
Dana
The Chicago outfit shot Ben Mintz's grandmother sister's husband, folks.
Big Cat
Also known as a great uncle.
Brandon
His life will never be the same.
Big Cat
Could easily clean that up To a great uncle.
Jack
Is there more to come?
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah.
Dana
The reply that happened in the 40s and somebody sent Rip and he said, oh no, he survived.
Big Cat
Yeah, he said, I'll never implying he's
Dana
why he's still alive.
Brandon
His tweets have been nonsensical.
Big Cat
I just found out the Chicago outfit shot my grandmother's sister's husband in the late 1940s. Not sure my life will ever be the same after this. More to come then. Scroll down.
Dana
Listen, I. I respect the. No m. Anybody.
Big Cat
What is that?
Dana
I want to know what the more to come is. I really do.
Brandon
I want to know how his life won't be the same.
Jack
I.
Dana
His guy survived the Chicago outfit. Dude.
Big Cat
His grandmother's sister's husband, again, great uncle.
Jack
Has Nadu commented?
Big Cat
Yeah, he did a podcast with him about it.
Jack
Oh, really?
Big Cat
Yeah. I. I screenshotted the he survived rip, and I tweeted it, and then the dude was like, he's telling the truth. I'm like, dude, that's not why he
Ella
survived after the rip.
Dana
It's so funny.
Big Cat
Yeah, we had everyone mourning this guy from the 1940s.
Brandon
More to come.
Big Cat
Look at. So that's one of the Delentes.
Brandon
Is that the beaven at the Del. That's not the beef Delente elaborate memes
Big Cat
prank where he just put.
Brandon
I should have shown some patience.
Jack
My skull is still.
Brandon
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Jack
There's a still photo where he looks just like.
Big Cat
This is where. Go back. This is where, like, he's. You're like, the hands come out, guys, and. No, that's what it's like.
Ella
They.
Big Cat
They all have that exact same Look. There's only 15.
Ella
This is the 15th time in NBA history that a team has been down 3:1. Now, Kate, you thought you.
Brandon
You know, you found your perfect man in the beef. This is the beef. If he was from Philly.
Jack
Philly beef.
Big Cat
There was multiple times, Kate, where I, like, walked this.
Dana
Whoa.
Big Cat
Oh, yeah. That's not the.
Jack
I was scrolling Twitter and I. I was like, wait, see in the living room or Vegas.
Brandon
That's.
Big Cat
That's Max's brother Dan, and they call him Double D, which I love. He was calling himself that when we were golfing. He's like, come on, Double D, lock in. I love Philly.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
I mean, I got.
Dana
Oh, Jesus.
Jack
Teeny tiny.
Big Cat
So small.
Dana
That's way worse than I thought.
Tate
Hilarious.
Big Cat
Yeah. What?
Ella
Yeah.
Dana
Marty mush.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
That's what Zach did to us.
Big Cat
Yeah. Zach out of you.
Ella
Zach.
Hank
Yeah, he got us. There's a lot to Zach that I. Zach keeps. He's like an onion. We keep peeling a little bit more.
Big Cat
Yeah, he can party.
Hank
That can go. Zach can go.
Big Cat
Yeah, I.
Hank
We had a great time on the last night.
Big Cat
I didn't know that he had that in him.
Frankie
Does he like an onion?
Hank
Because you peel it back and there's another layer.
Rhett Louder
Okay.
Hank
They never.
Dana
Oh, like cake.
Hank
Cake has no cake.
Frankie
So, like, lasagna.
Dana
Cake has layers.
Hank
Not.
Brandon
It depends on the type of cake.
Hank
Cakes like this.
Big Cat
What about like a three layered?
Dana
What about parfaits? Everybody likes parfaits. You ever ask somebody about parfaits?
Hank
Yeah, it's not the same. You're confusing metaphors.
Big Cat
What about like a geological study?
Hank
What?
Brandon
That's not bad.
Big Cat
Like layers. Yeah. To the soil.
Dana
Top soil. Yeah.
Frankie
Way more layers to that than the onion.
Big Cat
Tons of layers.
Hank
Onion is the standard metaphor for layers.
Dana
I thought all the layers are pretty much the same.
Ella
They're all the same cake. You could have onion.
Frankie
Yeah.
Hank
Yeah. I don't have the brain capacity.
Frankie
Yeah, because. Yeah. The way you described it, you peel back a layer and it's just the exact same thing.
Dana
Just more onion.
Tate
Yeah.
Brandon
When I'm peeling that back, I'm expecting more onion.
Frankie
Yeah, that's exactly.
Dana
I know what.
Frankie
You kind of insulted Zach.
Brandon
You never know what's going to be.
Frankie
There are no surprises to Zach. He's exactly what you think.
Dana
He's gonna just keep peeling. It's more.
Frankie
No matter how many times I peel a layer cake.
Brandon
That's a versatile ass, man.
Frankie
I really.
Hank
I got nothing, honestly, for that one. You guys kind of got me.
Dana
Oh, you're conceding defeat that quick?
Big Cat
No, I'm not.
Dana
Oh, so what?
Hank
Watch a famous movie. They'll talk about it.
Dana
What movie? Shrek.
Hank
It's in Shrek. There you go. You waited this long to say that?
Brandon
You know, everybody else was talking. I had to pick and choose my spots here.
Hank
No, you brought up parfaits.
Brandon
No, I didn't.
Big Cat
Layered. Those are layered.
Dana
That was also from Shrek.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
No, it's not. There's no parfait and Shrek.
Dana
I just said the exact line from Shrek.
Hank
Okay. I guess I haven't seen.
Brandon
I believe Brandon quoted Donkey.
Dana
I was quoting Donkey the whole time.
Big Cat
What about turkey club? That's got some decent layers.
Brandon
All sandwiches.
Dana
Any club. Really?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dana
Lasagna was a good one.
Frankie
Lasagna.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
But you don't peel that.
Tate
You don't peel it.
Hank
You peel it on you.
Dana
Oh, I do.
Big Cat
Because the cheese sometimes chop it on Chef.
Frankie
We have Chef.
Brandon
Do we have to worry about hantavirus?
Hank
What's that?
Brandon
Okay, then we're good.
Dana
I think we're good.
Hank
Is it a new one?
Brandon
Yeah, it's a bad one.
Big Cat
And it's starting exactly the same way.
Hank
Where.
Big Cat
It's a cruise ship.
Brandon
It's a cruise ship. And then one person just took a flight and they don't know where they are.
Hank
What else happened on a cruise?
Big Cat
Covid? Remember, there's a Covid boat.
Hank
I didn't know.
Big Cat
That was when we started really making fun of it.
Hank
Okay, so we got a new virus.
Brandon
This one's.
Hank
I'll look into it.
Big Cat
This one?
Brandon
Yeah. I'm gonna trust you.
Hank
I'll do some research.
Dana
I saw a report that it's too deadly to become a pandemic.
Rhett Louder
Oh.
Brandon
Because I know one person leaving the cruise died in the airport, so it, like.
Hank
So it's an epidemic.
Ella
Oh, this is a real virus.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Ella
I thought you're doing, like, a Wendy's setup.
Jack
Oh, but I think it's more of a mouse. People exposed to mouse pee and poop.
Brandon
Chicago has a lot.
Jack
We got a lot, though. Yeah.
Frankie
It's a virus.
Jack
That's why you got to wipe your cans off before you drink out of a soda can.
Brandon
Didn't even think about.
Dana
Okay.
Jack
Or open a can of.
Dana
All right, now unlocked, a new fear.
Jack
Mice go skittering across the top. They pee on the top of the cans, and then you're done.
Barstool Sports Announcer
Going back to layers. How does a pineapple upside down cake work?
Frankie
Great question.
Dana
Okay, I think I can help.
Barstool Sports Announcer
Really?
Hank
You want to take this one?
Dana
Well, it's a. It's a pineapple cake, but it's upside down.
Hank
You put the pineapples on the bottom, bake it, and you serve it.
Big Cat
It.
Hank
You flip it and pull the.
Brandon
But if the correct way to serve it is upside down, then it's not upside down.
Frankie
It's not upside down.
Hank
Well, technically, it's upside down.
Jack
It's like a flan.
Brandon
It would be upside down if it was right side up.
Dana
You make it normally, and then you turn it upside down, Correct?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Hank
You won't know. You put the pineapple at the bottom of the. So the. So when you turn it upside down, the pineapple's on top.
Dana
Sure, sure.
Frankie
So why not just put the pineapple.
Hank
I don't know. It's an antiquated dish. It's an antiquated cake.
Dana
Well, no, people are still doing it, though, right?
Big Cat
Yeah, but it's antiquated.
Hank
It's antiquated. It's like cream pie.
Big Cat
Extremely antiquated.
Jack
Brother, we're still green.
Frankie
Pies are still happening. Trust me.
Dana
Right, Donnie?
Hank
Yeah, I got it.
Brandon
Yeah, you walked right into that one, you dunce.
Dana
What's your favorite antiquated dish, Donnie?
Hank
I don't know. Let's see.
Jack
The fruitcake guy.
Brandon
Have you seen that guy on Tick Tock that's making the president's favorite foods going in order? He just did, like, a trout jello.
Ella
I forget it's always Jello.
Brandon
Yeah, it's like a clear, flavorless Jello with a full trout on the inside.
Jack
They were obsessed with jello in the 50s.
Brandon
I think it's a French dish.
Hank
Trout Jello. Yeah. That was the avant garde era, probably.
Dana
Trout's a French fish, I think.
Hank
Yeah, they had. I met one of those guys.
Jack
I.
Hank
You know the scientist guy who lives in like.
Brandon
Oh, yeah, he looks so awesome.
Hank
Yeah, I hung out with him for a day.
Brandon
Yeah, you just drove to see him one day, didn't.
Hank
Yeah, yeah.
Brandon
You just reach out to.
Dana
Just hung out with him for a whole day.
Brandon
He's almost like a steampunk. Like, a lot of his stuff is like, he has an old timey bike.
Hank
He told me, I'll do the Charleston. We rode in his car. Yeah, it was interesting.
Brandon
Does he live in the middle of nowhere?
Hank
Yeah. Jacksonville, Texas.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Hank
Dr. Parkenstein.
Jack
Oh, the guy who makes all the crazy in his backyard.
Hank
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big Cat
Oh, he's. He's.
Hank
He said he's picking up where Nikola Tesla left.
Dana
I mean, these videos aren't even that big. And you spend a day with this guy.
Hank
Yeah, I had nothing to do.
Brandon
Didn't he make a Tesla coil?
Dana
I drove here. My 1929 Buick started, so I forgotten my tripod at my apartment. So I have made a tripod out of some logs.
Hank
That's his grandma's house.
Dana
Some firewood. Let me set you on that real quick and then I'll get started with the penny farthing bicycle.
Hank
Oh, he wrote, I rode this bike.
Dana
I get asked a lot. Why is the front wheel.
Jack
How hard is that to ride?
Hank
I couldn't get. I couldn't do it.
Tate
Really?
Dana
Yeah. They had not thought of using a gearing system yet. So the front wheel is bigger. This lack of first to make it easier to pedal.
Brandon
I never knew why it was so much bigger.
Big Cat
I thought it was.
Brandon
They didn't figure out to do the same size.
Dana
You squeeze this and it pushes on this solid rubber tire. Let's. Tires are solid rubber on this. The back tire is lacking and I had to cut a piece of wood.
Liam
What does he sound like?
Dana
Brandon?
Liam
Coming in. Cleveland.
Ella
Cleveland Brown. Yeah.
Dana
I had a little bit of Kermit.
Big Cat
Right.
Liam
Did you make any content out of this down here?
Hank
Yeah, I do. I'll send tj.
Ella
Oh, yeah, I remember he put one
Hank
of me on it basically years ago, I think.
Dana
I'm sorry, you said eight years ago.
Hank
No, I was years. I can't remember when I went.
Jack
I mean, a few years ago. He was going pretty viral.
Big Cat
It was pretty often.
Hank
Yeah. Two years ago. Yeah. No, we just became Instagram friends. And then I said, I'm in Texas and I drove three hours, I think to see him.
Dana
Okay, today I'm going to be doing tour of my apartment. So this will be an updated tour of my apartment.
Jack
Is anybody else obsessed with that lady who's digging under her house?
Big Cat
Is this voice?
Dana
Yes, Ron's impression of me.
Brandon
Yes, that's what it is.
Big Cat
Yeah, that's what it is.
Jack
That's what it is.
Dana
I drove this Model T 123 miles round. That's what it is. Have it covered with a tarp because I don't want it to get Nobody
Jack
else besides CJ's following Kayla inside that.
Big Cat
I don't know what that is, but
Brandon
it's like too deep to be a
Dana
bit at this point. What's Kayla doing?
Jack
She has a house in the suburbs of D.C. and she started digging under her, directly under the property of her house. She's like, there's no law that says you can't like dig to the center of the earth under your property.
Big Cat
Talking layers.
Jack
So she. Yes, talking layers. So she got started getting the permits approved and she's been digging a mine under her regular ass suburban house.
Big Cat
Like this woman must have millions and millions of dollars to be funding this, right? Yeah, she must be like an extremely expensive thing.
Jack
But she's gone down far as underneath. And if you see her house in her neighborhood, it's like a pretty houses are pretty close together.
Brandon
Oh, I would hate this if my neighbor was doing this.
Jack
She has developed like an entire mining system complete with. She's taught herself how to weld, how
Big Cat
to dig, how to do everything die in there.
Brandon
That can't be the first thing you said.
Big Cat
Yeah, it is dangerous.
Jack
This is what she does all day long. And then she saves the better rocks because she's going to use those to build like some kind of castle. But she's been. She has antechambers and all these extra rooms now.
Brandon
And she hasn't broken the area of her property yet?
Jack
Nope. She's getting the correct permits for it. They're allowing it. And as long as she fills things in safely, like you can expand your house down if you want to, I guess, as far as you want.
Liam
Is she hoping to find something?
Jack
Nope, she just is like became really too far into it, I think. And now there's no stopping her. She just can't stop going down.
Big Cat
Just let me know when she does.
Brandon
She used to work the House will fall on her.
Big Cat
Yeah, she's gonna. I mean, she was just taking a jackhammer to a big rock alone.
Jack
No, she knows what she's doing.
Brandon
Unless she. But like, she's learning as she goes.
Jack
She's also very funny. She does mini trips and, like, summarizes the cities, like, perfectly.
Brandon
Has she found any, like, fossils or anything?
Jack
She's found some really cool rocks. This is. She pours foam into rocks she can't break, and the foam expands and cracks it for her. She's, like, figured everything out herself. She's super smart.
Brandon
How deep has she gone?
Jack
I don't know. I don't know, but pretty far.
Big Cat
That'd be funny if it was, like 20ft.
Hank
It got shut down. She didn't have the right permits, and she had to stop for a while.
Jack
She had to wait for a while, but now she's back at it.
Hank
She used to be a scientist of sorts.
Big Cat
Oh, maybe she won't die.
Ella
No.
Dana
Donna, go to her house.
Jack
But I've been following this for, like, four years now, and I watch that long.
Ella
Does she have a goal?
Jack
Not particularly. She just keeps going and going and going.
Big Cat
It's a good question.
Dana
Hey, how do you keep up with all the things you're following concurrently? You're constantly following melodrama and these. These quests that people are taking.
Jack
For a while, it was just being nap trapped by my kids.
Dana
Yeah.
Jack
Being stuck in a chair for a long time. I'm not gonna read, so. But I. There's certain fellows that I can't. I can't quit. She's one of.
Ella
You ever get terrified that kids aren't, like, getting into science enough? Don't we need them to.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Frankie
Science.
Ella
We need to incentivize STEM innovation.
Jack
Yes. Yeah.
Frankie
Science, technology, entertainment.
Ella
Entertainment, movies.
Jack
The kids still get ant houses. Remember? That was, like, big in our area.
Brandon
I. I had one until two. Two old.
Jack
Yeah, yeah.
Brandon
Right before I moved to New York.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dana
I got a. I got a kid that's super into space. And it makes me judge the other three kids who aren't into anything scientific because I. But whenever I buy him gifts or stuff, I feel like he's getting so smart about this stuff. And Tommy just wants Robux to spend on his Roblox.
Brandon
Get him an ant farm. Because then you'll start getting attachments in different rooms and different gels.
Dana
Just want to live. Live out your ant farm days through Tommy now.
Brandon
I mean, I might just get an ant farm.
Dana
Okay.
Hank
Have you seen that guy that has a whole terrainium A whole rainforest in his house. The Chinese guy.
Brandon
Oh, no, I haven't seen him.
Hank
He has Canadian Chinese, and he has a.
Big Cat
A.
Hank
An entire. It's like, levels that he has the.
Brandon
What's his first terrarium content is the only content I watch on YouTube.
Big Cat
The ground floor Chinese guy living in Canada or Canadian guy living in China.
Hank
Yeah, Chinese in Canada.
Big Cat
Got it.
Hank
That guy, his house is sick and he has cave. Yeah. This guy. Whoa. Full of my giant variums.
Tate
Of course, here people afford this.
Hank
The.
Brandon
I think they make them for rich people, too.
Big Cat
This is awesome.
Hank
Ground door kids.
Big Cat
And you see our Chinese guy just rage baits people on baseball and does
Dana
drafting work all year long.
Liam
The barely handle a dog.
Dana
We do have a. We have a bad Chinese.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dana
We got a white guy. We got our Chinese guys.
Big Cat
Like, dude, our guy is not. He's not Chinese enough. I wouldn't do anything.
Dana
He's doing. He's doing math on Twitter for fun. Sure.
Brandon
Yeah. But not that. What's that for us?
Dana
Not even good math.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
And then he says everything in perfect fucking English.
Dana
He's already got a mock draft for 2027.
Kate
Yeah.
Dana
Some Chinese you are.
Barstool Sports Announcer
I did. I did cut down on the Twitter math. Although I do miss it, but I've cut down. Have you guys started?
Tate
No.
Big Cat
No.
Dana
Why would we. That. You thought that was our response to you doing it?
Barstool Sports Announcer
If you see it in your feed, you know the answer. You're just not gonna do it.
Dana
No, because when I see it in my feed, I scroll the bottom to see your answer.
Big Cat
Yeah, I started sending.
Dana
Oh, so you're cheating.
Big Cat
I send it.
Dana
I'm not trying.
Hank
What's Twitter, man?
Jack
He answers math problems, like Time for Strangers. Somebody tweets a math problem.
Frankie
A lot of order of operations type problems.
Big Cat
Steven thinks he's Matt Damon walking by, like an MIT chop. And it's just a silly Pemdas question on Twitter. Someone's gonna discover every single one.
Dana
They're fun.
Big Cat
I do love that Chase. Twitter is now, like, just him and
Brandon
Eric Hosmer having make real baseball conversations every day, which is pretty awesome.
Big Cat
Jay's just in the replies. This shit's easy for me. It was easy for you. You do it.
Dana
We got to get a new Chinese.
Big Cat
Yeah. Oh, Kyle, I have something for you. Will you do the Reese's read? I got something for you.
Brandon
Okay.
Big Cat
I hope you don't know it, but I have.
Ella
Oh, it's a fact.
Big Cat
Well, it's.
Dana
Oh, boy.
Big Cat
It's kind of a fact. I drove through a town.
Hank
Barstow no.
Big Cat
From Las Vegas to Los Angeles. That was pretty cool.
Dana
Some fans believe in teams.
Big Cat
Do you know it?
Rhett Louder
Barstow?
Big Cat
No. Okay, go ahead.
Dana
Some fans believe in teams of destiny, but I believe everything happens for a recess. Just think about it. What is the one thing every team or athlete wants? They want a championship. Why? Because half of them are called cups. You've got the Stanley cup, the World cup, the Ryder cup, just like Reese's.
Big Cat
Who is this?
Dana
Is a guy we were just talking about. Luckily, scoring a Reese's cup is way easier than winning a championship. Oh, it's almost like you were tested to get one right now. Because everything happens for a recess. Reese's the official candy partner of Barstool Sports. Everything happens for a Reese's. Get yours@hersheyland.com Reese's. What the hell?
Hank
I'm learning how to do the Charleston.
Dana
Are you?
Ella
That's the Charles.
Brandon
I didn't think that was the. I thought the Charleston is what Your
Dana
body's not doing what his body's doing.
Hank
Because I can't Charleston. Clearly.
Dana
So you didn't learn.
Hank
Well, I did my best. You know, you don't learn it in one go.
Brandon
What's Carlton do? You school?
Frankie
I've never heard of that.
Hank
That's the business school in Minnesota.
Big Cat
Oh, he does like this Carlton Banks
Dana
from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Donnie, business school is business school.
Hank
It's also the business school that I didn't get into.
Brandon
Did you apply?
Hank
Oh, yeah. Applied to every business school.
Frankie
So you.
Dana
Yeah, every business school.
Hank
No, like every school I applied to, I applied to the business.
Brandon
For an mba.
Hank
I got into English. No, for an undergrad.
Brandon
Okay.
Hank
You win and you lose some, you know?
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon
So is life.
Big Cat
So is life.
Barstool Sports Announcer
Didn't Alonso Ribiera come by our off our, like, HQ2?
Dana
Yeah, I got to pick. It was only yak. I got a picture with him or I left the show to get a picture with him. Yeah.
Big Cat
H. So, Kyle, there's a town he's doing foreplay. It's no longer called Slab City. No, Victorville. No, it was a town that this guy, Curtis How Springer, known as the King of Quacks, purchased this town in California in the desert in 1944 and just made a town up Radiator Springs. He ended up not purchasing it, too. He, like. They, like, found out that he just falsified everything. He named it Zizic.
Frankie
Oh, yeah.
Ella
Oh, yes.
Big Cat
It was a movie.
Frankie
Yeah.
Brandon
The lowest grossing movie of all time.
Ella
Yeah.
Frankie
Yes.
Ella
It's cool, but I don't know Anything about it?
Big Cat
Yeah, just the king of quacks. He just wanted it to be the last. The last town in the Alphabet.
Dana
I thought Dana and Bloodmore.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah.
Brandon
Ziz Road.
Ella
Yeah, I've seen this movie.
Big Cat
Yeah, we drove through it.
Ella
Cool.
Big Cat
Curtis House Springer, the king of quacks. That's pretty cool. To be the king of quacks.
Ella
So it doesn't have a population?
Big Cat
No, it's no longer Zizic. Because it found out that he just falsified everything, I think.
Ella
But it has its own, like, exit sign.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Jack
Was.
Ella
That's amazing.
Big Cat
Curtis Housebringer. Yeah. And gave it the. To the area in 1944. And then he just, like, put a bunch of animals and trying to get people to stop, and then they were like, hey, dude, you never actually bought this and took it back from him.
Ella
Yeah, no, received.
Big Cat
Nice.
Ella
Pleasantly received.
Dana
You like that one, huh?
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Hank
Cool.
Big Cat
That's cool. Yeah, that's cool. That's really cool.
Brandon
The vastness of nothing out there is awesome.
Big Cat
Hey, what are you doing here? Let's film the video
Dana
right now.
Brandon
Bosco Industries.
Hank
Yeah.
Big Cat
Beekeeper.
Frankie
Good stuff.
Big Cat
When did you get out of the competition? Monday night. You. You lined up a Beekeeper that quickly?
Dana
We do.
Big Cat
We add it.
Dana
Oh,
Brandon
was it an Eddie plug? Yeah, Eddie's got it all. Eddie's got it all.
Dana
Great things.
Brandon
I'm excited to watch it.
Dana
How's the show?
Big Cat
It's good. Thank you. There's a supermodel. Sit down.
Brandon
See Oscar.
Big Cat
So he just flew out and he was eliminating himself quickly to then do the video. He was. That was smart. He was on. On. He'll be on planes longer than he was in the challenge. So he just. He just got a flight out here to do the Beekeeper video, and then
Frankie
he's like, seems that way.
Brandon
Well, did he know about the Beekeeper out here before the competition?
Big Cat
It sounds like he's like, I'm gonna come out, Bosco.
Dana
What's the issue?
Big Cat
No, there's no issue. I actually said. I complimented you. I said that was smart. You knew you were doing a Beekeeper video on Wednesday no matter what.
Frankie
Yeah.
Big Cat
You were never winning that competition.
Dana
I. I going to give it the
Brandon
best effort I could.
Big Cat
How long? And then it became very clear that
Dana
four of those, like, at least.
Big Cat
Yeah. Camps talking the mic.
Frankie
How long did you last, Bosco? Three or four hours.
Big Cat
Bosco, do you want to have. Do you have anything to say about Vinnie Pinstripes? I don't know who that is.
Dana
I like the Mets.
Big Cat
Just tweet it Yourself.
Brandon
I like the Mets.
Big Cat
You don't like Meek? Just tweet it yourself.
Dana
I mean, it's a fact, but. Yeah.
Ella
What did Pinstripes. What does he think about Meek?
Dana
Well, me quotes with your Pinstripes.
Hank
Yeah.
Brandon
Have you seen the tweet?
Big Cat
No, I don't have access to those accounts.
Dana
Yeah, but he added.
Big Cat
Well, no, it's just on Twitter.
Dana
He added rico return of rb.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dana
I thought the bigger story was you
Big Cat
not wanting the ball.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
Game on the line.
Dana
You keep trying to make that a thing, but that's what it is.
Big Cat
I have to think if you never leave your mother's basement, you have an advantage to never leave a room. That was from Vinnie Pinstripes.
Dana
That's a good observation.
Big Cat
And then Meek said, once again, stop.
Frankie
Hold on. Click on Vinnie Pinstripes. So Vinnie Pinstripes didn't double major tag Meek or mention Meek.
Big Cat
No.
Dana
Oh, he loves the Yanks, though.
Big Cat
He loves. He loves St. John. So that can't be you.
Frankie
No, I just think it's funny you that he didn't even mention Meek.
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Frankie
How do PE was like say it to my face.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon
A lot of bar.
Dana
I was. I had a handshake agreement with Kirk to set up of last showdown. 3 points, 1 point for team clearly up against the wall. Clearly it was a mistake. But I. But Frankie Borelli is a sharp guy.
Big Cat
Granted.
Dana
But I have no problem.
Big Cat
You won with the bat.
Dana
I mean, you lost with the bat on your shoulder.
Big Cat
Yeah, agree.
Dana
But imagine the content if it came down to me and Kirk. A tie game.
Big Cat
I can't. Never happened.
Dana
But that's. That was the plan.
Big Cat
I think you're such a college guy, you don't know how series work.
Dana
I know how series work.
Big Cat
Is it true you don't know how series works?
Dana
He's just running through the exact same jokes he did in the block.
Big Cat
Well, they work. Chad thinks he's being funny.
Liam
Thanks, Dan.
Big Cat
No. What? We missed you this weekend. I couldn't swing it. Yeah.
Dana
Shout out my wife five barrel bike tour.
Big Cat
Very impressive. Was she expecting you to come home after you got eliminated on Monday?
Dana
Does she know about the Beekeeper?
Big Cat
Knew about the beekeeper?
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
So. All right.
Brandon
You get any honey to see you?
Big Cat
Yeah, I just gave it to Jerry because it's too big to fly with
Ella
with that much honey.
Brandon
That's a lot of honey.
Big Cat
A lot of honey and stuff.
Brandon
So.
Jack
Did you get stung? I don't want to spoil it.
Big Cat
I didn't get stung.
Dana
No. The guy, the pro we were with
Big Cat
got stung on the head.
Rhett Louder
Whoa.
Dana
Does he what? He don't care, does he?
Big Cat
No, he's a pro. Are you feeling. Are you really. Are you feeling vindicated with me acting the way he acted? I saw a lot of, you know, Rico was right.
Dana
I mean, you've been proven right a lot. If I could bet on people, I'd be undefeated. Well, but see, never wrong.
Big Cat
Just early.
Dana
Well, what I just said. Well, all right, all right.
Ella
Have fun.
Brandon
All betting.
Big Cat
I don't love you, Rico.
Dana
I don't think he's in that big of a hurry.
Big Cat
No.
Dana
No fights at 6:30.
Big Cat
Also sounds like he was never gonna.
Dana
Never wants. No. And. And that means if that was. That was month. So he just got a full day. Full ass day off.
Big Cat
Well played.
Frankie
37.
Dana
Did he miss pick central yesterday too?
Big Cat
He did, he did. Take. Come back out here. Give us an update before we end the show. Also, you want to talk draft for. Oh, yeah. Parameters or rules or whatever. So what are we drafting?
Tate
Milk.
Dana
And we're doing a milk draft.
Brandon
Am I okay?
Dana
We have bought the. The fake.
Big Cat
Do we realize like Friday we're doing Star wars day?
Frankie
Yeah, Friday is going to be a pretty insane.
Big Cat
Friday is going to be a weird day.
Frankie
Yeah.
Brandon
This is Brandon's wheel start to finish.
Dana
So we, we bought, we bought.
Big Cat
Excited.
Dana
The fake tits. I'm going to sit here shirtless with the fake tit bag.
Brandon
He's all time, mommy.
Dana
We're going to fill. We're going to fill the whatever. You get the milk draft. M I L K. Put it in there and then you sit on my lap and suckle at my teeth.
Brandon
But it's. We have blenders. You're going to mix all the ingredients you draft into milk, then fill up the titties.
Frankie
Donnie, you're joining us.
Dana
What's that for a milk draft and
Big Cat
then teams of two.
Rhett Louder
Sure.
Dana
Thirteen.
Brandon
Three teams of two for drafting or three teams of three if Brandon's all time mama.
Big Cat
Two, four.
Frankie
Oh, yeah.
Big Cat
Three teams.
Brandon
Three teams of two.
Frankie
Three teams of two.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah. No, four. Two teams of two.
Frankie
Four teams of two.
Brandon
Jay, Jay, Jay.
Liam
Okay.
Big Cat
And Chef Donnie.
Brandon
So we're gonna have. I think they're ordering the titties now, so maybe like just three sets.
Dana
Well, the titties get here.
Brandon
Yeah, they're on prime.
Dana
You get titties that fast?
Jack
Yeah.
Dana
Oh, thank you.
Big Cat
Oh, no. One set would just.
Brandon
If you go last, you gotta wipe the nipple down.
Big Cat
You get everything?
Brandon
Yeah. Okay, fine.
Ella
Agreed.
Brandon
Well, there's two different compartments for left and right titty.
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon
So maybe we Spin a wheel for titty.
Big Cat
Okay.
Frankie
Donnie, how often do you eat dog food?
Big Cat
Food?
Frankie
How often are you like this tastes like. But I'll eat it anyway.
Hank
All the time.
Brandon
Do you ever order like a filet of fish?
Hank
I haven't had a play of fish in a while, but I'll eat McDonald's or Taco Bell.
Dana
I have one yesterday.
Hank
Why?
Dana
Because I was hungry.
Hank
Yeah, I ate bad food a lot.
Dana
Okay, well, it's not. He's not accusing you of anything, like using it. Just doing conversation.
Big Cat
On Saturday morning, Donnie ordered like 15 orders of room service for the suite. And it was weird. No one touched the food. Donnie.
Hank
Yeah, that was on. That was my bad.
Big Cat
I walked in and there was just 15 plates just sitting there. Maybe one piece of bacon was eaten.
Hank
Yeah, that was a bad call.
Dana
Awake but not hungry.
Hank
Yeah, no one's hungry.
Dana
God damn.
Big Cat
All right, so Tate, what's up?
Tate
All right, couple updates. One, the next hindrance or restriction? They're about to both be soaking wet. Oh, AC is low as it can be in that room. It is now at 60 degrees. That's as cool as it goes. They're going to be wet.
Big Cat
Do you find that funny boy?
Dana
I'm a spot now. I think for this. Yeah. Yeah.
Big Cat
Okay.
Tate
Undetermined right now of what the liquid is. I think water.
Big Cat
I think water is probably.
Dana
Water is probably the safest.
Tate
Or meek Phil spit that if.
Dana
If he had filled up a vat of spit.
Tate
We were. We were going to play a game. If it was Blutman, Meek left final two of poor or don't pour. They both have to write down. They debate for two hours. They write down what they're going to do. If you write poor, you get to pour it. If you write don't pour, you don't. How do you think they would have voted?
Brandon
Both poor.
Tate
You think Blutman would have wrote poor?
Brandon
Yeah, I think Blutman deaded meek.
Tate
Phil Blum's such a good guy.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah.
Tate
I don't think he would.
Dana
One of the best, but yeah, they're
Tate
going to be wet. And the other thing right now they're all bitching about is Blutman has. Has leaned. He's got a little lean move, but Dana is able to counteract that with. He's allowed to cart shake.
Big Cat
Okay. So that's good.
Tate
We're not. We're not banning lean move. Cuz it's subjective.
Dana
Dana's also taller, so it's got it.
Brandon
Is that the lean he gets a
Tate
little bit of into the forehead.
Dana
That's fine.
Tate
Onto the seat. Yeah, it's fine. Absolutely fine. But then. Then Dana can shake him off.
Brandon
And if anybody sees anything they think is cheating, they should just screenshot it and send it to you.
Tate
I've gotten about six straight foot pics of. Of Blutman.
Hank
See, there's a shit.
Dana
Oh, that's the smart counter.
Tate
Yeah, they keep sending me pictures of Blutman. You're allowed to be on the black line. You're just not allowed to cross it.
Big Cat
So they're gonna get soaking wet, and then what happens after that?
Dana
You're freezing them out.
Tate
I don't want to say, because the chat tells them what's coming.
Big Cat
Okay. All right.
Tate
Yeah. But if you guys have any other hindrances and restrictions, we're all ears.
Brandon
So I text you books or big Jenga blocks. I think stacking something under them for some. Maybe a balance.
Big Cat
I also think I wouldn't mind seeing, like, a half hour where it's just
Brandon
Pinky holding on to Pinky.
Tate
Yeah, Pinky's only. We're debating a couple things.
Dana
One, like, sucks.
Tate
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dana
30 minutes of just.
Big Cat
Yeah, that sucks.
Tate
All right, we can do Pinky hour.
Dana
We can do.
Tate
In our decision making, Dana is just unequivocally more athletic than Blutman. Does that factor, like, Nick's thing of standing on Jenga?
Brandon
Yeah, you're right.
Tate
It helps Dana. But is that part of the game?
Ella
I think you don't add any more obstacles, I think.
Frankie
Yeah.
Ella
Getting to a point where them just standing there without food unless you want
Brandon
to go home, then do whatever.
Ella
Yeah.
Dana
They're 48 hours now, right?
Ella
Yeah, I do feel bad for them, so maybe I do too.
Dana
Yeah, Just let it be. Kind of just ride it out and see what happens. I like. I like water comfortable for Leon.
Brandon
Like, that's.
Big Cat
Well, when you got into this competition, you had to know that it could get to this point unless you had a video with the beekeeper.
Tate
So we think. We think the end all be all if. If we ever want to hit this button. And I don't know if we want to because the chat is so important to our stream. If we do, you're not allowed to talk. Chat goes off the screen, and you just stand there. No one is allowed to enter, and there's no more questions. There's no more speaking. It is literally. They don't know if it's been 30 minutes, 3 hours, 30 hours. No one in the chat can tell them what the score of things is. And it's just them standing there quietly. The first word would be yeah. I'm out.
Big Cat
Wow.
Brandon
We could strobe light them, but.
Tate
But do people. Or is the thing going to be like, all right, well, why would I just watch these two people sit in silence?
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Big Cat
Right.
Brandon
I'll wait for the tweet.
Ella
If I was the audience and I didn't know those guys, but I do and I like them, I would want them to do that.
Frankie
Yes.
Ella
Last man standing till one person just can't take it again.
Tate
Yeah.
Brandon
Winning on a gimmick seems like their biggest ally. Yeah.
Tate
We might even do. We could do. Take your hand off the cart. Literally. Stand in your box silently. Their biggest gimmick right now is their chat. They're interacting with the chat. They're talking to the chat.
Dana
Chat's talking to them, keeping them mentally active.
Tate
If it is stand there. Who cares about the hand? No more technicality.
Frankie
You don't want this to end on. On someone kind of slipping their hand off and put. Yeah, you want it to end because some. One of these two guys is like, I've had enough.
Tate
And they would have to say it.
Ella
Yeah.
Tate
If it's no talking, the only thing to get you out would literally go, all right, it. I'm out.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
Are we opposed to a. Like a small controlled fire?
Hank
I can help with that.
Big Cat
I don't know.
Tate
We can sweat them out.
Frankie
That was very quick.
Big Cat
Ball controlled fire somewhere in the room.
Brandon
That was stink bomb.
Hank
Yeah. Yeah.
Big Cat
That was
Frankie
a lot of thought to that.
Big Cat
Hey, go do Sonny's ready to go.
Hank
I can help with that.
Big Cat
Chase. Stand up would be brutal.
Barstool Sports Announcer
What if you. What if you put them in separate rooms and then just, like, they can't see each other, they can't interact with the child, just whoever.
Frankie
So they're by themselves.
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Frankie
Solitary confinement. But then, like, crazy Jay.
Dana
Yeah, that's kind of.
Frankie
I can't do that.
Ella
You can't make them maybe give them an instrument each?
Frankie
No, that's not a bad idea. Che.
Dana
That's.
Barstool Sports Announcer
I think that's.
Tate
You tell the winner when they were.
Barstool Sports Announcer
The Clemmer thing. Right. Was like, there's no timer. And he just ends it when he ends it.
Tate
So do you tell the winner when they win, or are they just in there trying to guess if the other person went home?
Brandon
If you like the second.
Dana
Yeah, you tell the winner like.
Tate
But think of Dana. Think. Thinks Blutman's still going in three days from now.
Big Cat
I love it. What about. What about rollerblades?
Brandon
Oh, that's the advantage.
Big Cat
Dana, you think I kind of like,
Tate
don't tell the winner when they Won. Yeah.
Big Cat
I.
Tate
We have 20, 000 people watching. Dana having already won solitary.
Brandon
Who said that? Who pitched that?
Ella
Was that you?
Big Cat
I kind of like.
Brandon
Okay, that's fucking off.
Big Cat
The only thing I'll say is I don't. I kind of want to see if they can go like all week.
Brandon
Right. But like Dana going all week alone for sure.
Big Cat
But I don't want to make it so hard that they. I mean, it's your stream tape, but like, if you. If you throw so much stuff at them, it's like.
Dana
All right.
Big Cat
Well, it basically.
Dana
Yeah.
Frankie
It's hard because it's a marathon stream and you're doing a low and slow cook. So, like, maybe just let it ride.
Rhett Louder
Yeah.
Frankie
Like, don't try to keep throwing it in the microwave. Little cooking stuff.
Tate
I don't.
Frankie
I'm trying to.
Big Cat
If they're still doing this tomorrow. That's so impressive.
Tate
Massive.
Big Cat
Yeah. You know, they'd be heroes. Right? So it's like the. More like, you know, adding elements, like to make it really, really hard. It's like one of them.
Ella
I kind of agree.
Hank
Wait, they're. And they're in no bathrooms now too. Yeah.
Tate
Dana is officially on. I'm pissing myself. Blutman has a 30 ounce water, but he's rationing it like crazy because I don't think he.
Big Cat
He's used to this.
Brandon
Yeah.
Tate
He also doesn't want to.
Ella
What would they rather have?
Barstool Sports Announcer
I feel like you should let them
Dana
go to the bathroom, but nobody wants
Barstool Sports Announcer
to see Liam Puss's pants.
Kate
The vanilla ice. The ice cream Pokemon. The worst by far.
Brandon
The Apple Vanillish.
Big Cat
No.
Tate
See how the chat is allowing them to.
Big Cat
This is gonna.
Frankie
Yeah.
Brandon
It's brainstorming.
Big Cat
Devastating for the loser.
Jack
Does the chat have a save today or no?
Tate
The. No saves are. There's the save is like hand taken off thing.
Jack
That's what I'm saying. If that accidentally does happen today, does the chat have a save or no?
Tate
It's a great point.
Dana
That'd be brutal for the person who didn't take your hand.
Tate
Titus is right, though. I really want. It's got to be. Give up. I really hope it's not like, like.
Frankie
But I think. I think part of that then would be what kind of. What big cats.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Frankie
Limit the gimmicks at that point then.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Frankie
And just kind of let it outlast each other.
Tate
I think I would.
Frankie
I was mono Imano instead of like, who can handle being freezing and also a full diaper also balancing on one leg.
Tate
I agree. No more gimmicks like balance on one leg, stand on things. I think if we're going to do mental willpower, we should do no talking, no chat. Because then it's truly you two staring at each other until someone says, I'm out. Like, that's not a gimmick. That's the stream.
Big Cat
What have they been doing at night? They've been sleeping.
Tate
They were allowed to stay with the lights on. They've been sleeping on the concrete. Once Meek, we wanted. We didn't want to end overnight. So once Meek was out, we did a prime time. We set it up for prime time.
Big Cat
You should do that again. Yeah, I think bad night tonight.
Hank
I bad incense. I can burn in there to start.
Brandon
If you have stinky incense, why do
Dana
you want to burn something?
Tate
Because someone brought it up and I
Hank
can't get it out of my head. Palo Salto is called.
Ella
What?
Rhett Louder
What?
Brandon
Anyway, reek so bad.
Hank
It's just shitty incense.
Frankie
I mean, you could. You could get rid of the chat and still let them talk to each other, you know?
Tate
Yeah, for a bit.
Frankie
But like that. Because they'd stop.
Big Cat
Because stream too, if it's total size
Frankie
with the chat ending the chat for them would still like kind of block it out and make sure no one goes in or out. You can still do all that. But like, maybe you don't need to limit them talking to each other because
Jack
I might want to hear too. If one of them starts to reason out loud.
Ella
If one of them starting to break,
Jack
I want to hear them talking about it.
Ella
What do you think they would rather do? Have it be as hard and thus short as possible or easier and thus much longer?
Tate
I don't see how either one gives up. Right now I think that that Blutman is living and dying by being able to interact with the Internet.
Big Cat
What? Why don't you just say there's like a technical difficulty and don't even tell them that, like the chat's gone. Like, be like, hey, we're switching something.
Brandon
Yeah, well, can we just.
Big Cat
Because then they can't right now and
Brandon
think how they act immediately.
Tate
Do that. Lucas can do it right now.
Brandon
Lucas, can you just pull down the chat and see how they react?
Ella
Yeah, let's just experiment with them.
Brandon
Yeah, right. Obviously our peers and friends
Kate
probably say, I had 10 calories in the day and then I congratulate him and that'd be that. But that's a bad excuse because I fasted trying to lead up to this. So I'm building.
Brandon
He just closed it.
Rhett Louder
So there's gonna be a YouTube blur.
Kate
I got all the water I need now. There's no excuse. It's just best on best. Whoever wins, wins. And that's it. Yeah, I got no issue. This is the one guy that I want there. This is one guy I'm okay with losing to. Except deutsche. Deutsche. If I lost to Mincy, If Mincy's still here at this, like GGs. But I'm happy with how this has played out.
Frankie
Okay.
Kate
I'm happy that I'm staying next to Dana. I'm happy that we've bonded in such a nice, kind way.
Jack
Way.
Kate
Now we're going to play the shaky game again.
Big Cat
Enjoy. There's a chat. Not being there.
Frankie
Well, Dana seem to have noticed.
Dana
Oh, he just lay down.
Brandon
They handled it well.
Big Cat
No shakies? No.
Kate
Why?
Jack
This is.
Brandon
Well, if Liam falls as good, his hand's going to come off.
Big Cat
He should have.
Ella
This is tougher than I thought.
Tate
See, what I'm saying about Blutman is
Brandon
that taste
Dana
is something in his mouth.
Jack
Something is beer.
Brandon
If he loses because of a bad
Jack
taste, this beer is skunked. I'm out of here.
Dana
Oh, God. Bloodman.
Brandon
I didn't like that.
Dana
I didn't like that either.
Brandon
Scary came right off. That's the thing. If Blutman falls asleep, like, with the lean, Dana should let him.
Hank
But what's the record for how long someone can just stand up, though? It can't be that, like, oh, he's trying to open.
Dana
This is. This is terrifying.
Hank
They gotta be approaching that.
Brandon
Oh, he should shake it and spill it.
Dana
This is a Happy years.
Brandon
Smart move.
Hank
Are you gonna let him sit at night, Tate, or.
Tate
No, no, they're. They're standing.
Frankie
They're standing the rest of the way. Yep. Well done. Well done.
Brandon
An admirable opponent.
Frankie
They haven't acknowledged the chat. Huh? Lack of chat yet.
Tate
I might do it. We might do a silent hour and see if people like it or not. I do like this.
Frankie
Oh, there it is.
Kate
Good thing you got the time up, though, in the top, right? You guys might want to lose that.
Dana
All right. All right.
Big Cat
Well, everyone tune in. Hopefully it's going on tomorrow. When we come back,
Ella
if they have to stand, then. No way.
Big Cat
Yeah, no, they're definitely not making it to tomorrow. Yeah, you can throw on a break, though, right?
Tate
Kind of. I don't know.
Big Cat
The.
Tate
I think these two have shown that if you let them eat, piss in there, sleep, that they will do this forever.
Big Cat
What if you gave them, like, between now and midnight, you gave them, like, an allotted amount of time that they have to use, like, they have to spread. Like, they can use it however they want. You have 15 minutes standing between now and midnight. You have to declare or sitting. You have to declare when you're using it.
Frankie
That's how the car dealership thing would do it. Yeah, it would do like every like four hours is like a 15 minute break and you can eat, you can piss, you can sit down or.
Big Cat
Yeah, like give, like every like two hours. Give them a five minute break and they have to decide what to do with it. They can sit, they can go piss.
Tate
Big cat. I have a question. As you have the leader of the office, who wins a battle if Surviving Barstool needs that room sooner rather than
Big Cat
later, when do they need it?
Dana
That's all. That's a week and a half from now.
Big Cat
It's a big build out is like, it's.
Dana
Oh, yeah, you're right. I didn't think of the building. I thought it was just the competition.
Big Cat
Yeah. When is it? When is Surviving Barstil need it?
Brandon
My calendar says Surviving Barstool's build starts on Saturday.
Big Cat
Okay. So we're fine.
Frankie
We're fine. Fine.
Brandon
I better not.
Tate
Yeah, that's just. I agree that that's when it started. I guess the stuff came early and
Dana
moved to the parking lot.
Frankie
Yeah, well, yeah, Friday comes around and we're still doing this, then we can start doing rollerblades and.
Big Cat
Yeah, right.
Frankie
Jenga and all that.
Rhett Louder
Right.
Big Cat
Yeah. If they're doing this, I think would
Tate
be cool if Surviving Barstool's filming and they're just in there.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Frankie
We have a show called Surviving Barstool and it's not the one with the two guys locked in a room for a week. The shake.
Tate
I love the shake.
Brandon
At what point is it not worth it? Like the 10,000?
Frankie
I honestly, I feel like if I entered this competition right now, I would not win. If I walk right now and I started doing it, I would. I would not win.
Brandon
Taxes on winnings are 37%.
Big Cat
You can't give up though, now.
Brandon
You can't. It's pride thing.
Big Cat
So much time, like, to lose this will be absolutely devastating.
Brandon
What's that?
Tate
Splitter steel gate. Not for us, but, like, if they were offered splitter steel, do you think they would both split right now?
Big Cat
Yes.
Brandon
Yes.
Rhett Louder
So do I.
Dana
Yes.
Big Cat
They're not.
Brandon
And I think that would go out with a whimper.
Tate
Yeah, we can't. We're not.
Frankie
We're not.
Ella
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah.
Big Cat
You needed that to be like two people who hated each other. Then you could do it.
Frankie
I think. I think you don't necessarily prolong it, but I think you do just kind of say, stand up, give them breaks every couple hours, or you have to do whatever they want. Not long breaks, but just 10 minutes and see if this thing can go to tomorrow.
Big Cat
Yeah, but in the breaks, I think you got to, like, give them the, like, ADD strategy where it's like, hey, you get five minutes. You can do whatever you want.
Frankie
Yeah.
Big Cat
Like, whether it be eat, piss.
Tate
We've had a couple of those. Yeah, we've done that.
Big Cat
Yeah. Because those are. That's where the gamesmanship comes in.
Brandon
If we pour baby oil on them, not to be horny, but, like, the ground would be slick, their hands would be slick, and they'd be shiny and
Ella
sexy on top of that.
Frankie
Something to consider.
Brandon
Yeah, you know it.
Tate
Speed it up. Throw meek back in there.
Brandon
Oh, my God.
Big Cat
Oh, God.
Frankie
Yeah.
Brandon
He's not still around, is he?
Dana
He's got to be in New York by now.
Barstool Sports Announcer
Do you think if they were in separate rooms would go. It would end sooner or later than. Than them across from each other?
Frankie
I don't know.
Big Cat
These guys are warriors. Yeah, they really are. Car.
Ella
You think the loser would rather lose today or, like, make it a week, become, like, a national headline and then lose?
Big Cat
Yeah, we could get national headlines.
Dana
I mean, blman's already got, I think.
Frankie
I think four days.
Ella
It becomes.
Big Cat
I think if you get to Friday, you get to Friday night, people will be like, what is going on here?
Ella
Agreed.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Frankie
Yeah.
Brandon
Is this officially the longest after dark stream?
Tate
Yep, this is. We just switched over to, I think, the. I don't know, is it fourth or fifth? It's. It's. It's longer than Jerry's hole in one. It was Jerry's hole in one. We had another one. Now this is passing both.
Big Cat
Jesus.
Frankie
Damn.
Big Cat
All right.
Rhett Louder
Right.
Big Cat
Well, hopefully they're doing it tomorrow. Our chat is saying that their chat is upset that their chat isn't on
Brandon
the screen anymore because they liked interacting with the guys.
Tate
But, yeah, for sure, that. That's obvious.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah. Where we're at on that?
Jack
Yeah, no, he's shaking again. Poor Bloodman. I just.
Brandon
But that's the kind of go for both of them.
Tate
Doesn't have to lean, but if he leans, Dana's shaking.
Brandon
Is Dana allowed to lean 100. Okay,
Tate
chat that it's all started. Chat wanted. No lean. And then Dana just started shaking. So now we have leans, and shakes
Big Cat
are like, you really should just let
Brandon
him fall asleep and then shake real quick.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tate
What's that ruling? If he shakes so hard that he falls off.
Big Cat
Yeah. Especially if he's leaning.
Dana
Yeah.
Tate
On a lean.
Dana
You're asking us. Too many rules. You listen. Iron Fist over here.
Tate
When there's controversy. I love that last night.
Big Cat
This is a.
Tate
This is fun. But also, like, I'm on the horn with Titus. We're texting Big Cat, but four group.
Big Cat
You gotta remember, there's no right to say yeah. No matter what. Someone will be upset, and you just gotta deal with.
Frankie
Yeah. You just. You make the.
Big Cat
There are people who are mad that Meek got eliminated. And it's like, who?
Brandon
Whatever decision you make, thousands of people will decide to hate you.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Tate
I just wish they could see, like. Like, Ty is, like, having dinner with his families, like, with his baby. It's like, Titus, we need a V check on this. He's sending different angles. I don't think this. He's like, I'm no Meek Phil guy, but I don't see conclusive evidence on this one.
Frankie
Yeah.
Tate
On the palm.
Frankie
Thought his palm was still on it. Yeah, I was breaking it down.
Big Cat
Oh, no.
Hank
Oh, boy.
Brandon
What's the fold down there? No, but, like, okay. Oh, a lot going on.
Dana
Great.
Frankie
I am. I am surprised Dana's still in it. Yeah. I didn't see this coming out of beers.
Jack
Yeah.
Frankie
So kudos to him. Not to take anything away from Blutman,
Big Cat
but, you know, we all sit.
Frankie
Bloodman. I knew he had it in him.
Tate
But what if we make it to surviving bar stool setup up, and then we just say, all right, halftime. Come back. Come back after surviving barstool.
Frankie
That's pretty funny. That is pretty fun. That's a pretty funny idea.
Brandon
Gentlemen, you made it halfway.
Dana
Dana's also good news. Yeah. So he's not leaving.
Brandon
Oh, my God.
Dana
Oh, no.
Big Cat
Damn. All right, let's spin the wheel. Hopefully we see him tomorrow. Everyone tune into it. It's incredible. These two warriors.
Brandon
If this goes to surviving barstool, Dana's getting home to an empty apartment and
Ella
a letter
Dana
and an empty dog leash.
Brandon
Empty dog leash. Nothing more sad.
Big Cat
All right, we'll see you for tomorrow. It's the act. Get your straws.
Frankie
Y style.
Big Cat
Stay for a while. It's the act.
Dana
It's the act.
Big Cat
It's the act. Yeah, it's time to talk shop or do a Yankee Bob is the act. It's the act. Go watch the stream. Bring it home, blood. Love you guys.
Dana
Bye.

Podcast: The Yak (Barstool Sports)
Host & Panel: Big Cat (Dan Katz), Brandon Walker, Dana Beers, Tate, Ella, Frankie, Hank, Kate, Jack, Liam, Rhett Louder, and more
This packed episode centers around the ongoing "solitary confinement" endurance challenge featuring Dana Beers and Blutman, now deep into their third day. The Yak crew recaps recent events in the stream, debates the morality and strategy of aggressive gameplay, and discusses viewer reactions. Sprinkled throughout is the group's characteristic banter, plus segments with Cincinnati Reds pitcher Rhett Louder and stories from Max's bachelor party weekend in Las Vegas, resulting in a lively, unpredictable, and hilarious roundtable discussion.
As always, the Yak brings high energy, irreverence, and quick-witted exchanges. Today’s episode shines a spotlight on the “torture stream” audience phenomenon—they discuss, with sincere curiosity and comedic relief, just how far average guys can be pushed for internet content.
Despite gnarly competition hijinks, the cast stays lighthearted, mixing inside jokes, deep-cut references, and friendship with their signature sports and office gossip.
If you haven’t listened, this episode is a snapshot of Barstool’s current culture: over-the-top competition, ongoing internal feuds (Meek Phil’s behavior is a recurring flashpoint), and a recurring question of "Is this too much?" All this is anchored by detailed play-by-play observation, guest athlete insight, and stories from their real lives—including bachelor parties gone wild, epic weekend benders, and the absurdities of office life.
Tune in for:
For deep-dive live chat, audience interaction, and constant zingers, The Yak in May 2026 is can’t-miss — especially as Dana and Blutman’s contest potentially stretches on for days.
For more, follow the challenge live and catch the next episode for potential resolution... or even wilder escalation.
