Key Themes & Discussion Points

1. Solitary Confinement Endurance Challenge

• Setting: Dana Beers and Blutman are finalists in a multi-day barstool challenge, standing with a hand on a golf cart for as long as possible.
• Recent Eliminations: The group recaps how recent contestants were tricked or tripped up into losing—such as Ethan getting eliminated singing "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" and accidentally removing both hands (11:07), and Deutsch falling for psychological tricks.
• Dana vs. Blutman – The Final Showdown: In-depth speculative analysis on which of the two—Dana or Blutman—is better suited for the contest, and what strategies or quirks could give them the edge (19:04, 19:43, 29:03).
• Rules & Hindrances: The panel debates the fairness of the latest batch of “hindrances”—forcing both remaining contestants to get wet and stand in a cold room (118:05), as well as ideas like removing chat support, silent hours, or even solitary rooms to break willpower (121:41, 125:43).

Notable Quotes

• Tate (on rule escalation):
  "The spit opened up Pandora’s box, which was: Okay, is there truly no rules? ... If Dana Beer punched him in the face or if Meek Phil wants to kick Blutman in the nuts ... we’ll react to it when it happens." (8:21)
• Big Cat (on the challenge’s escalation):
  "If you let them eat, piss in there, sleep, they will do this forever." (130:48)

2. Controversy: Meek Phil’s Villain Turn

• Incident: Meek Phil was eliminated after throwing milk and spitting at fellow contestants, which sparked widespread discussion about boundaries in Barstool's game settings (3:46–10:05).
• Moral Debate: The crew hotly debates what crosses the line in these challenges. Spitting is nearly universally condemned ("It is a crazy move," Big Cat, 5:15), while throwing milk, though gross, is seen as fair game.
• Audience Reaction: The internet is divided—some demanding Meek’s firing, others commending his entertainment value as a villain ("He was the villain, and he was... a 10 out of 10 on this stream," Tate, 9:42).
• Aftermath: Meek’s apparent lack of remorse and ability to reset and return to his baseline is dissected, leading to a discussion of “true villain” personalities (24:18).

Notable Quotes

• Big Cat:
  "Spit is like the most disrespectful thing you can do to a person." (24:45)
• Dana:
  "What a way to display your true colors to the entire company." — on Meek's antics (5:31)

3. Max's Bachelor Party – The Vegas Recap

• Weekend Escapades: Stories from a raucous bachelor party that included a trip to the Sphere for Fish concerts, wild strip club tales (Zach losing his glasses to a stripper and then searching for hours), and an all-star, multi-generation Barstool/guest cast (26:43–43:40, 79:00+).
• Memorable Snafus: Dante’s energetic hype man ways, the Donnie/Jerry O'Connell friendship saga, and boss/employee strip club awkwardness recounted for comic effect.

Notable Moments

• Zach’s Solo Strip Club Recon:
  "He went back to the strip club for six hours by himself on Monday morning ... just kept on asking about the lost and found." (29:46)
• Dante’s Hype:
  "Every experience he has is the greatest experience ever." (31:31)

4. Guest Segment: Rhett Louder (Cincinnati Reds Pitcher)

• Baseball Chit Chat: Rhett shares stories from the big leagues, rookie hazing and traditions, the minor league grind, stats from his Wake Forest days, and the importance of clubhouses and unwritten rules (37:07–58:38).
• Pitching Philosophy: Rhett describes playing with a chip on his shoulder, competitive streak (including with art), and how things have changed with advanced analytics and pitching labs (56:12–57:05).
• Rapid Trivia Game: Rhett impresses with his trivia speed and baseball knowledge (48:57–50:00).

Notable Quotes

• Rhett Louder:
  "My older brother used to draw and paint a lot, and I just want to be better than him at everything." (40:01)
• Big Cat (on spitballs/unwritten rules):
  "I never understood why catchers don't trip (charged batters). If I were a catcher ... I'd just be like, trip him." (61:41)

5. Bachelor Party and Surviving Barstool Preview

• Upcoming Event: Brandon and Nick are set to participate in the next Surviving Barstool, and the ramifications for Yak's schedule are discussed (74:44+).
• Meta Humor: The cast jokes about being “once in a lifetime” Vegas guys and the semi-chaotic overlapping shows/experiences.

Notable Quotes

• Dana (on Surviving Barstool casting):
  "I'm probably getting voted out first or second." (74:42)
• Brandon (on competition strategy):
  "That should be your strategy, Brandon. Just campaign to go home so badly that they won’t." (76:51)

6. Miscellaneous Banter and Deep Dives

• "Layers" Debate: A running joke wonders if onions or cakes are the best analogy for a person with many sides.
• Vintage Food (and Science Content): The group discusses the resurgence of pineapple upside down cake, historic jello dishes, and science content creators who build terrariums and dig mines under their houses (97:45–106:12).
• Creative "Torture Stream" Ideas: The Yak brainstorms ever more ridiculous/endurance-testing challenges (fire, baby oil, removal of chat, silent hours).

In what's quickly becoming the most popular new party game around, players are secretly assigned unique roles with the good guys trying to expose the bad guys and and the bad guys doing everything they can to stay hidden. Each game unfolds under alternating day and night phases with roles like the cool chick, the shy guy, the gambler, El Presidente, the mentalist, the planner, the funny guy and more. Every round is unpredictable, chaotic and ridiculously fun. Who's the bad guy? Is great for parties, pre games, family gatherings or groups who just love deception based games. Game night will never be the same. Shop now on Walmart.

[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.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Ella]

In front of a swarm of people

[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]

Amazing fans.

[Big Cat]

I don't know.

[Jack]

I don't know.

[Brandon]

A lot of the stream.

[Ella]

What did we miss?

[Big Cat]

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]

Your ass.

[Big Cat]

All right, well, Rhett, thanks for stopping by, man. You're welcome anytime.

[Ella]

they want you to check it or.

[Big Cat]

I don't know the dawn. I don't ever respond.

They text you to tell you they blogged or they text you the link to the blog.

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]

[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.

Okay. Yeah, I had a.

[Big Cat]

What?

[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 [e-mail] 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.
