The Yak Presented by Stella Blue Coffee 100% pure Colombian coffee. Get it in the cans. Get the beans. They got espresso, sweet mocha and they have the sweet cream which I'm a fan of this week. It's hard not to like sweet cream. Sweet cream sounds sour cream on the other hand is I like sour cream
Brandon
as well but I don't want that in my coffee.
Dana
Right Sweet cream, perfect flavor for coffee. Stella Blue the best coffee and you are saving dogs lives. Every purchase supports agencies and associations and affiliations that help rescue dogs from a life of torment and needles. Yeah, and malnutrition and sties.
Brandon
We all love saving dogs and I goop some from paws, some from very expensive breeders.
Dana
Bursitis in their dog knees.
Brandon
Sties like I hate it when my dog gets a style.
Dana
Their paws start start going green and then it's like do I amputate it myself or do I spend a million dollars at at the dog hospital?
Brandon
Right?
Dana
You don't know what to do. That's why you should drink still a blue coffee. And we got Dana here Today.
Unidentified Female
That's right.
Dana
But he's here a lot, so.
Brandon
Hey, guys, hold your applause.
Dana
We got Rico here.
Rico
There we go.
Brandon
Let's go. Biggest week of your life, perhaps?
Kyle
Yep.
Dana
It's gotta be.
Rico
Last year was pretty big, but. Yeah, this one.
Brandon
Did you double your salary last year?
Kyle
No.
Brandon
Okay.
Kyle
You could win this bet and come away smelling like a rose or lose this bet and come away smelling like a rose.
Rico
Yeah, it's great opportunity, huh?
Jerry
So does it double for 10 years or is it just double once?
Kyle
You know how much money? If it doubled for 10 years.
Jerry
Yeah.
Rico
That's insane.
Brandon
He'd be a trillionaire.
Rico
Yeah, I'm already a question. No, but that's not three mil now.
TJ
So you mean does it. Is it doubled for the next 10 years?
Dana
Does the doubled salary double every packed, or does it revert back to the.
Kyle
No, I think it's double for it. It doubles and it stays at that level for 10 years. Correct.
Rico
Yeah. And then I work some.
Brandon
What about inflation, Rico?
Rico
We work something out with Dave where. Yeah, it's not just flat double, but potentially. But yeah, we'll see.
Kyle
It's double what it would have been with like standard increases or whatever.
Rico
Sure, yeah, whatever. But, yeah, it's double for 10 years. Put it that way.
Brandon
Have you even thought about the. The other outcome at all?
Rico
Yeah, that was my roommate's first question. Yeah, she's like, how's that gonna go? I was like, probably not well, but
Kyle
you're gonna do a podcast with a guy for one season. It's gonna do gigantic numbers, and when you go back to negotiate, you're gonna say, yeah, yeah.
Rico
I mean, there's opportunity.
Brandon
I'm not.
Kyle
Yeah.
Rico
I'm not walking around doom and glam.
Kyle
I've been sure crying. So if.
Rico
If I did text Brandon. Wait, what did you text me on? Oh, yeah, you text me about something else and then I text Brandon. I'm like, no, good luck. I was like, that's tough.
Brandon
That's up.
Dana
No, good luck.
Rico
And you just tried to, like, again, talk back down. You were like, no, I said it's a win. I never.
Kyle
I didn't win either way.
Rico
But you could say good luck.
Kyle
Good luck.
Brandon
I feel like we're speaking.
TJ
Good luck.
Rico
Yeah, See, cuz, I'm on your side. They cleaned up your.
Kyle
I cleaned up my. Yeah.
Rico
Oh, you did it.
Kyle
I did it, yeah. Yeah. Because they were bullying me out of it. Oh.
Rico
So I got trapped. I thought they did it to you.
Kyle
No, they didn't do it to me that I would. No, I Would have.
Rico
I don't like that. I would have freaked out and clean my up. I don't like that.
Kyle
No, no.
Rico
I cuz I don't know where anything is.
Jerry
I could use a spring cleaning right now.
Brandon
Same.
Jerry
My desk is a mess.
Rico
Yeah, we're at the worst time of year because the sweatsuits have to be packed away.
Brandon
Oh my God.
Kyle
This is the worst time of the year.
Rico
It's just the V. You look at how high the thing goes.
Brandon
It's like, what's your least favorite sweatsuit? Rico,
Kyle
have you been sent a sweatsuit? And you're like, I refuse to wear that sweatsuit. No, if you get the sweatsuit, it's. It's.
Rico
No. There's a guy who keeps tweeting at me. He wants my two Iowa sweatsuits because I've disavowed Iowa.
Brandon
Okay. Are you willing to do give those up?
Rico
I want to trade them.
Brandon
Yeah.
Rico
I earn those.
Brandon
Dana, you seem frustrated, man. Was somebody screaming upstairs while you were trying to work?
Jerry
Yeah.
Brandon
Oh, damn.
Jerry
What? Who.
Rico
What happened?
Jerry
No, I'm. That's not. I'm not frustrated. I think that was. It was funny.
Brandon
Somebody wasn't on a phone interview, really loud, pacing in the middle of the office, disrupting everybody answering questions about themselves.
Jerry
Oh, it wasn't pacing.
Rico
It was sitting like Nikki codes.
Jerry
I was frustrated. I'm good.
Brandon
I like that.
Jerry
I thought it was pretty funny.
Kyle
Just right in the middle of the office. I. It was it. No, I guess who it is.
Jerry
He was in the ghost lounge. But you could hear every word.
Brandon
Every word.
Jerry
I wasn't disrupted.
Dana
For the record, hypothetical person's defense. Was he making like business moves that could really increase profit value?
Jerry
It just sounded like a Ben Mintz tell all.
TJ
Yeah. Every time he's doing a business call, it sounds like he's doing like a
Brandon
document, an autobiography, like audiobook, documentary, testimonial.
Rico
I haven't been. I've been in and out here, so I don't know all the inner things of that.
Kyle
Why?
Rico
I gotta ask a question. Why is nobody talking about Arkansas at 51 before?
Kyle
Okay. Yeah.
Brandon
Oh, there was a lot of value. Oh, man. Everybody.
Kyle
That was. That was Ben Metz's on us. That was his campaign speech last week.
Rico
I walked back in and I got scored a Dave. I go, hey, Dave, do me a favor. Put money on Arkansas 50 to 1. So we stopped hearing about was just like, all right, so.
Brandon
But listen, everybody's rooting for you. Everybody wants. Everybody in this office is dying for Alabama to win for you. I want to get that out of the way, you know. Now if it doesn't happen.
Rico
Good content one way or the other.
Brandon
But if it doesn't happen, does that mean that this other man is hired?
Rico
Probably, yeah.
Dana
A little contract.
Brandon
And what do you think his salary would be?
Kyle
I don't know.
Rico
Probably a penny more than mine.
Kyle
Yeah, I'd imagine he might give him the double. They might give him double what you make.
Rico
I don't know if you could justify that.
Kyle
I.
Rico
You're gonna pay that guy 6.
Kyle
Does Dave have to justify anything?
Rico
6 million a year knowing.
Jerry
Have you seen his.
Brandon
Brandon have the same exact contract? Yeah.
Dana
With doubling your salary. Change your life.
Brandon
Would you be at ease? Would you be at peace? Would you be Zen?
Rico
Yeah, you would.
Brandon
Nothing would make you mad if you got double your money.
Rico
No, I still would probably get kicked out of CVS Self checkout.
Kyle
Yeah, agreed.
Rico
I'd still get mad at what's.
Jerry
Have you been in the office in New York?
Rico
I was in yesterday. Quickly.
Jerry
Is there any. Any angst?
Rico
A little bit, yeah.
Kyle
I think from the. From the pick central guys.
Rico
Yeah.
Kyle
Okay, so they're not happy.
Brandon
Used to be on that.
Rico
Yeah, I was on that. What do you think, Dana? You're a pretty like even killed guy.
Jerry
I mean I like all those guys.
Rico
I do too. That's the. That's thing.
Jerry
It's maybe not. I don't love meek, but you know.
Brandon
Oh yeah, you snap. A rare snap from Beers.
Jerry
It's just. I'm trying to watch basketball. He's in. In the background just fucking making little meek comments. But that's what he does. I get it.
Kyle
It's his prerogative.
Jerry
It's tough. You were on the show for a while and I'm sure you felt like you grew out of it, but yeah, you probably should have said something but I'm sure they would have given you shit either way.
Rico
Right. So.
Jerry
But that's just kind of. It's the right thing to do to say something.
Brandon
Did Brandon. Did you give a heads up before you quit the show?
Kyle
Well, yeah, because I quit on. Because I was moving here. So I. Everybody saw it coming that I naturally had to quit. There was some talk that I'll zoom in, but I was never. That was never going to be something I was going to do every single day. So. So it was different for me. I mean. Bosco, have. Are you ready to announce that you're moving here or.
Brandon
Not yet.
Kyle
Not yet.
Brandon
Okay.
Kyle
All right. Okay.
Dana
Save it.
Brandon
Yeah, we'll save it. Don't spoil it.
Dana
Has there Ever been a Jeff Nadu in your life, like, growing up? Like, maybe it was a teammate or coach, a teacher that killed you to have to share the classroom quarter field with?
Rico
Yeah. I mean, there was people you hated the most. Jonathan Perrina in grammar school, always asked too many questions and talked about trains. Everything related back to, like, was anything.
Dana
Was it personal to you and anything?
Rico
Nah, he just was. He wasn't a bad kid. He was just annoying. An RA in high school. I'm sorry. College. He was the worst. The worst.
Kyle
What'd he do?
Rico
He's just a skill dude. Yeah, he's a dildo.
Brandon
Do you remember your first skill?
Dana
Laterals.
Rico
Like, he said it was a snow. It was a snowball fight. It was 800 of us out on the hill. He goes through like he's in Vietnam. Comes up to me. He's like, you're written up. We start laughing at him. Then he goes to my room, knocks on the door, comes back with the cops, and he's like. They're like, yo, you got to give your id like, you're written up. I was like, does he get a
Kyle
gold star for this?
Rico
The cop even, like, left. I'm like. Then I went and found the RA handbook of seven violations that he violated
Dana
in the process of doing that, committing a felony.
Rico
And the resident director lady, halfway through the meeting was like, all right. Like, you just don't worry about it. It's thrown out. I was like, no, he should suffer. She's like, I know that. Just please get out of my office.
TJ
What's the best revenge you think you've ever gotten, rico?
Rico
Best revenge? I don't know.
TJ
Something like that. You were saying? I feel like you plot and scheme a lot if someone does you dirty.
Jerry
What?
TJ
I said, I feel like you plot and scheme a lot after someone does you dirty.
Rico
No, that was a big text. I apologize.
Kyle
Okay.
Chase
Yeah.
Kyle
I think you would have gotten his question if you weren't looking at your phone.
Rico
Dana goes like this. That was a big text.
Jerry
It was a business thing.
Rico
That was a business text you guys
Brandon
both got on a business.
Kyle
What? Business?
Jerry
Something got canceled. I just wanted to make sure he saw it.
Rico
Yeah, sorry, Danny. Give me that one more revenge thing.
TJ
Yeah.
Dana
Yeah. The best revenge you've ever exacted on somebody that you truly despise. Someone who deserved it.
Rico
I don't know.
Dana
Actually, you ever ruined someone's month.
Rico
What do you mean? What do you mean, I don't know?
Dana
I do know.
Brandon
Oddly specific.
Dana
I don't know here is dramatic.
Jerry
I don't know.
Kyle
The trigger word.
Rico
No. I don't know. I didn't. I didn't know. I don't know. You never know with kb. He's too high value. It's check. I said it on house call when he did it. It's checkers. And he' playing chess.
Dana
I'm not.
Kyle
That was a checker's movie and he
Jerry
just asked a question that might have been a normal question, but I'm also not sure.
Dana
Oh, I'm gaslit.
Kyle
Yeah. You're playing chess too.
Dana
Did I just.
Rico
No.
Jerry
I'm in the same mindset as Bosco. I. I feel like a lot of what KB says. I don't know if it's like a riddle.
Kyle
You just smile and giggle.
Jerry
Yeah.
Brandon
Imagine how KB feels living like that.
Dana
I try to be a normal.
Brandon
Oh my God.
Dana
How do I relate to my co workers without being a Cl. Did anyone ever. Do you ever ruined someone's month?
Brandon
Look at them laughing. They're all laughing. Normal question.
Kyle
Where are we at on the month thing?
Matt
I don't know.
Rico
I never ruined anybody's month.
Dana
All right, the month is arbitrary. It's never ruined someone's time. Like life for an extended period of time. Like you really got revenge and they deserved it.
Brandon
Kyle, I don't know how you haven't exploded yet. Cuz I remember like during attendance in class, people would laugh at you saying present.
Dana
I could. I couldn't say anything.
Kyle
I don't know.
Rico
No, I never ruined everybody.
Dana
Dana's dying is dying at me.
Kyle
All right, let me ask you this. Sure. In my life, I've had mortal enemies and probably despised three to four people. How many have you despised in your life?
Jerry
A lot.
Kyle
Three to 4,000.
Rico
Yeah.
Kyle
I mean, I don't know.
Rico
I'm work. We all carry like, you know, whatever.
Brandon
But is it an ins.
Rico
Some people are drunks, some people are do drugs. Like I'm a was addicted to anger.
Brandon
I'm working on that with this.
Rico
What do you want me to say?
Brandon
With your new potential co host. Was it hate from first sight?
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon
There was no chance of like.
Rico
No. No chance.
Brandon
There's no chance of tolerating.
Kyle
No.
Rico
Because it was so obvious. Like again, we'll probably get into it unfortunately on the pod, hopefully. Unless we pull a upset. But yeah, it was just. It was. It was the habitual lying. That's where it all kind of comes from. Because it was. He was sent. He was reaching out to me. Be a guest. I'm a big fan. I have that documented. And then it was like two weeks later, he trashed me. It's like, all right, well, you can't have both ways.
TJ
You know what I mean?
Rico
So now, fuck you.
Kyle
I couldn't imagine somebody trashing you without even really knowing you. Right. When they first started the company, when they just. When, like, if you were to get plucked out of, like, obscurity in Fulton, Mississippi, and then somebody who's been faceless the whole time decides he's gonna trash you to his people without ever even meeting you, I. That would piss me the fuck off.
Rico
Yeah.
Kyle
Fair enough.
Rico
I don't know what I even said.
Brandon
You sow so much, but hard.
Matt
You.
Brandon
You never reap.
Kyle
You're not a reaper.
Brandon
You're not a rapist.
Rico
I've been trying to. Wait, so is the good one.
Kyle
You reap what you saw.
Brandon
You reap what you sow.
Rico
See, I've been trying to sew back things, I guess.
Kyle
No, No. I don't know.
Brandon
Are you cutting back on.
Kyle
So is what you put in the ground. Reap is what you take out of it. Okay, you got it. So is what you plant.
Brandon
Right.
Kyle
Reap is the harvest.
Brandon
So I guess you've been cutting back on your sowing to prevent from all the reaping.
Rico
Pretty much.
Jerry
I thought you put sod in the ground, so.
Brandon
It's grass.
Kyle
Sod's in the ground.
Rico
Sod's on top of the.
Brandon
Sod's on top of the ground.
Rico
You.
Kyle
Sorry.
Jerry
Continue.
Kyle
So you just stop sewing. You don't sew as much as you used to.
Rico
Yeah.
Kyle
That's smart.
Rico
I think that's accurate.
Dana
Yeah. No sewing.
Brandon
Because every time you do sew.
Kyle
Yeah. Yeah.
Brandon
You get reaped.
Kyle
You get reaped.
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon
Reaped hard.
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon
Rico.
Rico
From behind.
Kyle
From behind.
Jerry
Do you like your. Do you like your road trips? Going out to dinners and.
Rico
No hotels and most. I mean, with the games, they're going 12 to 12. You're not really going out.
Jerry
Yeah.
Rico
After.
Jerry
But, like, I don't mind March Madness. You come here for the dozen or something.
Rico
Yeah. I don't mind being on the road. It's just, you know, it's. It is tough, but it's. I love it. I mean, you're in the mix, so I never complain.
Kyle
What happened with the Dave dinner where he asked for chicken parm and you just refused to book him?
Rico
No.
Kyle
So.
Rico
So it was. Yeah, everybody immediately. That's very. It's a very funny storyline, but I looked at the resi text first, then looked at Dave's, and he said, chicken palm.
Kyle
Oh, you made the reservation before the request.
Rico
Yes.
Kyle
Okay.
Rico
Yeah. So you won't read that part of the story, but that's how it goes. We got a big one tomorrow.
Kyle
Did you find a chicken parm place?
Rico
Yeah, this guy fucking. I tweeted it.
Brandon
But as a Catholic man, does it, does it pain you to. Are you gonna have to eat chicken you don't have to eat Friday?
Rico
Nah. Catholic church got a lot of demons. They can't be enforcing their rules back on me.
Brandon
What have they done?
Rico
Lot of things. Yeah, I think it's more. Might be. Who have they done?
Kyle
Oh boy.
Rico
What?
Kyle
No, nothing. This guy sewing again?
Rico
Shout out Babel. Bronx local joint called Sabaros Delicious. Best in the city.
Brandon
So I'm going to try that. Okay. Yeah. Swing by Sabaro.
Rico
Yeah.
Dana
So Babel, underrated movie.
Kyle
I think it's.
Rico
I think it's party of three now though.
Kyle
Is it?
Rico
Yeah. Big Paulie.
Kyle
Yeah.
Rico
Yeah.
Kyle
You don't seem like you like that.
Rico
That's fine.
Kyle
Okay.
Brandon
What, you don't like Paul going?
Kyle
He's fine.
Brandon
It's not a black spot for you. He's a big black spot.
Rico
He's fine.
Brandon
All right.
Rico
All right. What do you think about the game tomorrow or what do you think about the whole process in terms of. I think there were, there were. People kept being like, oh, he's. Is he not going to take it?
Brandon
It's the most no brainer you have
Rico
to do not to take it.
Brandon
This is the, this is the. One of the rare true win wins.
Rico
Because I think the other thing too, you got to remember with Dave and you've seen it maybe with some people who aren't at the company here anymore, it feels like if you are presented content type opportunities, or in my case like bets like this, like last year was the bus or even, you know, punishments like two years ago, if you start to push back on that or be like, no, can't do it or you know, whatever, he then holds that a little bit or gets mad of like, oh, okay, you're not in it, you're not willing to. You know what I mean? So yeah, you had to take the bet.
Kyle
I tell you what would make me a little nervous. Say it's a win win situation, right? But the same time Alabama and Michigan is happening, who else is playing? Johnny's, Duke, St. John's and Duke, the team you used to be a fan of and the team that you are a mortal enemy of. Basically right now I would be wary of some double or nothing propositions in that cave.
Rico
Tomorrow night, Brandon, we Were looking at a quadruple punch on Sunday.
Kyle
Such as Boat shoes. Yeah.
Rico
Johnny's Iowa, which I didn't even know
Kyle
about, by the way. Nobody cares about your boat shoes thing. It's just you holding a grudge against David Blackman for something that Dan and Dave did.
Jerry
We don't do names. No, he did it because we don't do names.
Kyle
Told me. Yeah, I mean, I. I had my own issues with it, but I don't. I don't sit here on the act
Rico
and say boat shoes because you don't speak in code. You haven't been on house call yet. We'll do a little training program.
Kyle
You'll invite. You'll treat me. You'll teach me how to speak in code.
Rico
You'd be a lot better yet. You never know with the feds, man. Better off speaking in code.
Kyle
Yeah, you're right.
Rico
We got Nick on it.
Kyle
I should watch out. I should watch out for the fit
Rico
we put Danny in. But Danny's bad.
Kyle
Have to speak I.
Rico
With the cartoon characters. They're mad at him.
Brandon
Doubling your money will heal you, I'm sure.
Rico
I got him in with a bunch of guys with. A bunch of guys with nicknames for the reservation. And he called them cartoon characters. They.
TJ
They weren't supposed to hear that all their names were outrageous or Tommy.
Rico
Two times they cut the clip and then they're like, fuck Danny. We're never helping him again.
Kyle
You. You and Jerry, though. How are all your friends named? Nicky Numbers and. And. And Paulie Peanuts and all that?
Rico
That's a. I really do think it's an east coast thing.
Kyle
I think it is too, because I've never named my.
Jerry
My friends unless I mean Johnny Football. He's not from the East Coast.
Kyle
You know what, T. You're goddamn right.
Rico
Like, I'm talking about like. Like true nicknames. Yeah, I mean, like the guy who does my taxes, his name Cheese.
Brandon
Really?
Jerry
I have. I have a Cheese, too.
Brandon
We. Everybody has a Cheese.
Kyle
Everybody. Okay.
Dana
One of the lunch.
Kyle
I have a guy whose last name is Per Minute. Or we call him Cheese.
Jerry
Lunch lady was Cheese.
Dana
Yeah, we like, to her face. We caught her Cheese. Because she had a.
Jerry
My.
Kyle
Oh, no.
Rico
My good friend's cousins are 14. When they were 8 or 9. Growing up, they. We were at some basketball, like, oh, there's Mike in the brown house. I go, wait, what? Why do you call him that? Any little kid. Look, makes you feel stupid. He lives in a brown house.
Brandon
That's a good enough reason.
Rico
Great reason. I thought that was a good One.
Dana
Are you ever like, oh, I'm kind of larping as a mafioso, but this
Rico
is fun in terms of the nicknames,
Dana
in terms of your whole, whole life. No, I don't think.
Rico
I think I'm a pretty. I think when the cameras are off, I'm a pretty boring guy.
Dana
That's what I'm saying.
Kyle
I disagree. I don't think you're boring.
Brandon
Rico, we've had conversations that I feel like I'm in Goodfellas with no camera around.
Kyle
When there's no camera around, I kind of wish there was a camera to see.
Brandon
And the fact that you think you do turn it off, that's troubling. That is troubling.
Dana
You do not.
Rico
All right.
Kyle
And if anything, he might turn it up. Yeah. Cuz when he trusts that there's no camera around, he really.
Jerry
You know what I got upstairs? How many. How many teams are left in the sweet sixteen?
Brandon
He asked that.
Jerry
I got one of those. That's a. That's a classic Bosca. Camera's off. What's the. What's the one you do about taxes? Tax day or something?
Rico
Stock market being closed? Oh, yeah, yeah. That's a good one.
Brandon
You do a daylight savings, right?
Rico
Yeah, yeah. I think Dave should let me do Davey Day trader on national on holidays.
Brandon
Yeah.
Rico
Keep the brand going.
Jerry
Yeah, you're right.
Rico
Yeah, yeah, It's.
Unidentified Female
You know, you do the wedding anniversary one.
Rico
Yep.
Unidentified Female
That's like. It's my 10th anniversary. You guys got married on a Wednesday.
Rico
That's all harmless.
Unidentified Female
That's classic Bosco.
Dana
Did you have like a. I do it all.
Rico
I put a lot of that stuff on Facebook now, Nick. That's where it's all.
Brandon
Yeah, that's the thing.
Rico
Yeah, I had a good one with
Brandon
your neighbors on Facebook. And send. You start group chats with the most random hodgepodge of people. Like one time you sent a screenshot to me in chief, and you're just like, look at this.
Kyle
That's funny.
Brandon
It's. It's always just a new.
Rico
It was definitely something we had talked about before.
Brandon
Maybe so.
Rico
But yeah, like, I had a good one.
Brandon
The fact that you say you turn it off on the cameras, you are with people constantly on Facebook.
Rico
You need a hobby.
Brandon
Yeah, you're right.
Rico
I had a good one yesterday.
Kyle
What'd you do, a good Facebook post?
Rico
Yeah, reply. I'll tell you. Hold on.
Dana
When you were growing.
Kyle
Oh, here, here.
Rico
Where is it?
Brandon
Didn't you have one? Because, ladies, like, I saw this kid at home without his parents.
Rico
Yeah. The lady goes, this lady goes, I
Brandon
saw this kid home alone.
Rico
No, I didn't say home alone.
Brandon
No, you teetered around, really tiptoed around it.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
Saw this boy. I think he stole a toothbrush, running back to his house.
Rico
The one that was. The one that was really good was the day of the snowstorm in January. And I was like, hey, I don't really want to, like, you know, besmirch local businesses, but this is really hard for people who are trying to start the new year off and be active. I was like, I just called. I listed the four golf courses. I was like, they're all closed. I was like, this is people. Like, you're joking, right? Like, I'm like, no, lady, I got an eight iron. I got to try and break 90. She's like, you're an asshole. This and that and then. But that means I got you like, I got a fish.
Kyle
You just keep going.
Rico
It's fun.
Kyle
Are you just doing that for reps?
Rico
Straight fun.
Kyle
Yeah.
Rico
The lady. Yesterday was like. We inspected a deck this week. It looked totally fine. Solid boards, clean. If you want peace of mind before summer deck inspections and deck cleanings. I said, usually when somebody has to get their deck cleaned and inspected, they got to pay extra.
Jerry
Oh, it's six.
Rico
Oh, it's six.
Kyle
Ages, inspector deck. That's nothing to. With.
Rico
Yeah, exactly.
TJ
Is this like a neighborhood watch group?
Rico
Yeah.
Dana
Yeah.
TJ
I'm surprised they haven't kicked you out yet. They're pretty strict over there.
Jerry
I know.
Dana
Did you have a prankster inspiration growing up on.
Rico
No, I just think. I think with social media, like, if you look at the Internet.
Kyle
I don't know, the.
Dana
The Internet.
Rico
Funny replies is. Is always.
Dana
But there's. Growing up as a kid, there was no, like. Like, prankster. Maybe an older guy.
Jerry
Why do you keep looking at.
Rico
Because.
Brandon
I don't know.
Kyle
Why do you keep laughing?
Jerry
He keeps. Because his eyes are darting from.
Rico
Who was the prankster?
Dana
I'm asking you if you had inspiration.
Kyle
Do you only get a break to learn how to talk to each other?
Dana
Me growing up, it was my own dad. So, yeah, he got me into troll.
Rico
Yeah, he was a bowl breaker. Yeah, he grew up with a ton of bulb.
Brandon
Dana's dying.
Kyle
Kyle.
Brandon
Kyle, you are murdering right now.
Jerry
You are murdering. Whatever this is.
Kyle
They're just talking, though, Dana. They haven't said jokes.
Dana
I'm trying to be a man. Like, be one of the guys.
Brandon
Yeah, just. Just talk with the boys.
Rico
My uncles.
Brandon
What could Kyle mean by that?
Rico
My uncles are big ball breakers.
Dana
Yes. Thank you so much. That's all I wanted. He grew up around ball breakers. They were in your own family, Rico. That's what. That's why you were inspired by them in some way.
Brandon
Don't look at me, Rico.
Jerry
Look at him.
Rico
He's your guy, Owen.
Dana
That's why you're pulling these funny pranks now, because you grew up around it.
Rico
I guess
Dana
your uncles were ball breakers.
Rico
Did you. Speaking of, like, New York and ball breakers, did you guys see this video Kevin did about the Brooklyn guy in.
Brandon
In the airport kfc?
Jerry
Are you trying to prank us?
Rico
No, I swear to God, Kevin. I mean, tj. Can you pull that up? Apparently, he's on, like, he's been on reality shows and stuff like this. Nobody's seen this video?
Brandon
No.
Rico
This is one of those things, like, where you make somebody look at your phone and nobody's gonna think it's funny. All right, good to hear. To help. They're not bothering nobody.
Brandon
As long as they can check my
Kyle
bags and get me on my flight,
Jerry
I'm good to go, right?
Rico
I want to get.
Brandon
I want to get to the Bahamas.
Jerry
I want to add it here.
Rico
I like that it's on for real, dude.
Brandon
And the quote by saying bags with a Z. That's exactly how he said it.
Rico
They're talking about the. Obviously agents and Stu like that in the airports. He's like, they're not bothering nobody.
Jerry
How was the airport?
Rico
You don't find any of that funny?
Brandon
I'm not.
Rico
And I'm not, like, trying to.
Dana
Brandon.
Rico
Like, yeah, the New York. Like the stuff we all thought. I don't never find that.
Kyle
Like the. The murder guy. I don't really. I never really found any of that funny. I don't know. But I did think that guy looked a touch like White Sox. Dave.
Rico
A touch.
Kyle
I thought he was, like. He had a touch of Dave in him. Yeah. I'll laugh appropriately next time. I just laughed at the last thing. I was sitting that one out.
Rico
No, it's just a fitting, like anything we have, like, with New York humor, New Jersey.
Kyle
Like, you never found, in fact, any of that funny? Yeah. No, because y' all just kind of make me sick.
Brandon
The man from Mississippi who constantly begs for free shit. Brandon. How was opening day?
Kyle
It was really good. It was the best one yet. Like, the family, really. I mean, they. They knocked it out of the park. I cried.
Brandon
Wow.
Kyle
Yeah. I had a. I had a legitimate tear.
Brandon
What? From what? Overwhelming love or.
Kyle
No, no, no, no. Somebody. I don't. And I apologize. I'll look up your name because I'm gonna email you later. Somebody bought and sent me a 1968 Oxford High School versus West Point High school football program. High school football game. And my dad was a quarterback.
Dana
Yeah, that's.
Brandon
Yeah. I didn't, I didn't know your dad was the quarterback for Oxford.
Kyle
No, West Point.
Brandon
West Point.
Kyle
Yeah. He was the starting quarterback and he was. His name was right there in the program.
Brandon
Did they win that game?
Kyle
Probably not, because we had not really become that strong of a football program yet. That wouldn't happen until the court said, yeah, but as soon as that happened, look out. But yeah, that's pretty beautiful, man. Yeah, it got me real bad. But it was. Somebody sent me that and somebody said a lot of like, there were a lot of hand drawings of me and Titus. There were a lot. There's a starting lineup figure. I mean like the, the people that watch mostly sports are fucking incredible. And the people who watch yak, obviously are incredible too. They're much in one of the same. But it was, it was a fun day.
Rico
I love that.
Kyle
Good, good concept opening. I like that. Yeah.
Brandon
The office is empty today too, by the way. Everybody's at opening day.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
Nikki Smokes, Die Hard.
Jerry
I was wondering, is that just like. Is that cool to just leave?
Rico
I don't know.
Kyle
I don't know. Titus told me he had to. He had to go to his kids soccer game. Game.
Brandon
Oh yeah, his six month old soccer game.
Kyle
Yeah, yeah. He had. He has an excuse.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah. They're starting him young.
Jerry
I'm not. I'm not on, Sheriff. That was like a thing.
Dana
It's a thing. Yeah.
TJ
Probably the combo of Big cat. Now.
Kyle
That guy started here 15 minutes ago.
Jerry
Mickey Smokes is a, is a Marlins fan.
Kyle
Yeah, apparently it doesn't matter. No, none of this fucking matters.
Jerry
No, I'm not, I'm.
Brandon
We're the fools.
Kyle
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Brandon
The absolute fools.
Jerry
I just. If I were going to that, I wouldn't post a thing.
Kyle
Yeah, you'd be doing it low key.
Jerry
Yeah.
Kyle
White Boy Rick. The whole, the whole group. It's an outing.
Jerry
Nice.
Kyle
How did that. By the way, how did that miss you? That seems like your crew that would have grabbed you.
Jerry
I got a dog now.
Kyle
Oh, I think he's.
Rico
Sadly, I think he's aging out.
Jerry
I am definitely aging out, but I got my guys, me and Deutsch.
Kyle
But you are firmly in the group of beer drinkers.
Brandon
You're in the welcoming committee.
Jerry
Yeah, but like I am. There's a difference between. Oh, Eddie's there. I don't know what I'm trying to say. Like Deutsch. Deutsch is single.
Kyle
Yeah.
Jerry
I am married.
Kyle
Yeah. You're settled down.
Jerry
Right. So if I was single, I'd be doing a lot of what they're doing.
Dana
Yeah.
Jerry
And now I have a dog.
Dana
It's kind of impossible, but without the motivation of random like you are.
Jerry
No, it's just I have.
Brandon
That was what was driving you strange.
Kyle
What drives everybody.
Dana
Consciously or subconscious?
Jerry
No, no, no.
Kyle
Strange is possibility.
Jerry
I never. I shouldn't.
Kyle
Yeah, no.
Jerry
I'm married.
Brandon
Yeah, you're married.
Rico
I would like to change the culture. Like if you're aging. Out of the beer guys, let's get a supper club. Let's be dinner guys.
Jerry
I'm not an Asian out of the beer guy. I still crush beer.
Dana
We should do dinners more often.
Kyle
Yeah, we don't.
Jerry
Oh, dinners are the best.
Brandon
Dinners are the best. Every time we do it, we're like, we should do it more.
Jerry
Rico is a great dinner guy. If I. If I can recommend one guy to go to dinner with lots of laughs, lots of good recommendations.
Kyle
Have you and I ever had dinner? Almost certainly not. Right? No, I don't think we've ever been at a dinner with the. Where the other one is present. Even in big group dinners. I can't remember me and you being.
Brandon
I think you living so far.
Rico
Brandon here was the first one, I think.
Kyle
Really?
Rico
Yeah. That was the one at San Fran where you.
Kyle
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Jerry
Really? Say hello.
Kyle
Yeah, well, but you were.
Rico
You.
Kyle
You had finagled your way into the Rossillo corner and. And weren't. You were boxing everybody out and I couldn't get over there to talk to him because you. You told me not to.
Dana
I don't know about that.
Kyle
You made me go sit with my wife. No, I think I didn't want to
Rico
think you showed up late.
Brandon
Actually, I did.
Rico
I was in the big cat corner and then it's. Who comes into the big cat corner also.
Brandon
Brandon, you were so fucking tanked, you wouldn't remember if you did.
Kyle
I was not.
Brandon
Yes, you were.
Kyle
I did have red wine lips that night. I know that. I had a big case of red wine lips.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kyle
Which doesn't happen to me every time I drink red wine. So it's got to be some sort of social faux pas that I'm committing that when it's a big group of people, I always.
Brandon
Red wine, wine lips.
Kyle
If I'm having dinner with my wife, I don't give red wine lips.
Rico
He made three waiters Follow him on fucking Twitter, too. Brandon, did I walk down the hall? What do you mean you don't. Don't you like college football?
Brandon
The guy gotta follow me trying to
Rico
serve this fucking steak.
Kyle
No, not what happened.
Jerry
Brandon, when was the last time you were wasted?
Kyle
My cousin Anna's wedding to her husband Drew in 2007.
Brandon
Like, not able to stand wasted.
Kyle
Yeah. It's the only time in 20 years of being married to my wife that she has driven the car.
Jerry
Whoa.
Kyle
I've never ridden in a car driven by my wife outside of that night.
Brandon
How'd she do? Sober you up quick?
Kyle
I'm sure she did. Well, she drove us home.
Brandon
Were you in the front seat or laying in the back?
Kyle
I was in the front seat.
Brandon
Okay.
Kyle
I was. I was. I had the window down, blowing through my hair.
Brandon
What happened? What happened to that?
Kyle
Just a bunch of. Bunch of wine and beer, I think. And it's just, you know, which is just cut loose.
Brandon
Would you be willing to do that one more time?
Kyle
I don't know if I got that in my bag anymore. I'll have three or four glasses or two or three. Now I'll have one or two glasses of wine.
Jerry
Okay.
Kyle
But I just. I don't really know how to.
Brandon
Somebody just open up Netflix.
Kyle
Yeah, we're watching Netflix now.
Dana
Put on hell or I water.
Brandon
Yeah, let's stand up and enjoy it.
Dana
Was this a level of drunkenness that was more like, I'm an invincible champion or I'm a sad mule?
Kyle
No, I get more like my drunk. Drunk is more like, isn't life the fucking best? Everybody, I love you all the time. I haven't seen you in a while. I just. God damn. We don't get the family together enough. Let's. Let's move next to each other and have a beach volleyball net separating the yards.
Rico
That's good if it's fun. The I love you guys when they're drunk are really tough. Yeah, those guys are really.
Kyle
That's what I was describing, though.
Brandon
No, I was trying to give you a compliment.
Jerry
I love you, man guy.
Rico
I love you, man. Guys are tough, dude.
Jerry
Depends.
Kyle
I'd rather have an I love you, man guy than I, I hate you and want to fight you.
Jerry
Yeah.
Rico
Fighter stink fight guys are the worst.
Brandon
Now I'm just a disappear guy.
Jerry
I Irish exit.
Rico
I blogged it last night. He's your boy, obviously. And I love him. He's a great guy, Moresh. But is getting in a car crash in another country the worst way for Dave to find out that you Work for us.
Jerry
Yeah.
Kyle
Yes.
Brandon
Yes.
Rico
I said in the. In the Mount Rushmore is like you up and he's got to get involved legally. You make him lose a bet or you just give him a bet unprovoked. You leave and then like trash something and then he finds out who you were there or crashing a car. I think crashing car is number one.
Brandon
I think there's some silver linings of like, people coming to do his defense. Be like, he's a responsible guy.
Kyle
He's the fucking best.
Rico
He's great.
Dana
Is the cogs, the wires.
Kyle
Yeah.
Dana
Gears behind so many people and brands.
Kyle
Yeah.
Dana
He does so much for everyone. It is hilarious. And I'm glad that it's being made into a joke.
Jerry
Yes.
Dana
It seems like it reminds me of my cocaine situation, minus the trauma of a car crash and airbag deployment.
Brandon
Yeah, sure will. It's probably pretty expensive.
Rico
The. The earlier tweets in the day though of them being like, it's impossible to drive here. How are we gonna figure this out? Like.
Brandon
Well, Moresh is like his mom and dad lived there. Was his mom. His mom lives there now. I know his mom lives on man. Having your mom live on the Isle of Man is tough.
Dana
Tough.
Brandon
It opens to go. Can I. I gotta get to Isle of Man.
Kyle
A question I. You've. You've been to Europe recently? I've never traveled outside of this country. Outside of the Bahamas. Can you just fly to a foreign country and rent a car and drive? Yeah, if you have a driver's license in Illinois. You have a license to drive in London, England or Birmingham?
Brandon
I think so. Yeah.
Kyle
I did. I don't know that I knew that. I thought. Yeah, you're right.
Brandon
It does seem.
Kyle
I thought you were beholden to just having to be get carried everywhere.
Brandon
Yeah, I guess licenses are.
Kyle
I guess they're transferable everywhere in the country world.
Jerry
They are on the. You drive on the right side of the car. Left side of the road.
TJ
Was the crash due to that?
Brandon
Yeah, I guess they were on the
Rico
wrong side of the road.
Jerry
I would hate that.
Kyle
That's a.
Brandon
That's a total car.
Kyle
I think wreck.
Rico
I haven't heard anybody on the wrong side of the road since forever. I don't know. Whatever. Surprised they. They up that way.
Brandon
What could this. Let's parse this.
Kyle
Yeah. What do we do? What's this bit I was gonna try
Rico
when it's so in my head.
Kyle
Let's do it. Let's just do it. Let's dive in.
Rico
It was the chicken. I haven't heard Anybody?
Kyle
That's the one that crossed the road.
Rico
Yeah, Chicken Chick.
Kyle
You're saying the chicken that crossed the road on the wrong side of the road.
Brandon
Did they hit a car? Because I heard they hit like somebody podcasting, drinking wine. I heard they obliterated her, dude. Is that what they hit? They were studying.
Rico
How would you just. How would you.
Brandon
And got a blitz like four cartwheels in the air.
Rico
How would you describe the crash? I'd say loud and complicit.
Brandon
Okay. Subtle. Subtle. Rico, you're an.
Rico
You're a. He led you into you pile drive. Somebody. I jump on the pile. It's like, flag him, flag him off, man.
Jerry
Off, Off How?
Rico
I'll play with you.
Dana
Yeah, Rico, you're one of them.
Rico
I won't play with you anymore. How are you, scumbag?
Brandon
How would you describe the person in one word? Maybe?
Jerry
Liz.
Rico
No, you're a scumbag. You're a scumbag. You're a scumbag. Scumbag, Scumbag.
Dana
This reminds me of someone on the wrong side of the road. Maybe it's the chicken who crossed the road.
Rico
You're a scumbag. It's a dirty rotten scumbag.
Brandon
No matter what you said.
Rico
I think I would have done that.
Kyle
That was
Jerry
obviously.
Brandon
Wait, is that Quig's editing? Look how fast he's going.
Jerry
Obviously you don't. You never want to get in a car accident, but this might end up being really good for them.
Rico
Oh, yeah.
Brandon
Oh, I think so too.
Jerry
This is the type of stuff you get when you go out and make videos with each other. And this could propel them a little bit.
TJ
What happens when you total a rental?
Unidentified Female
Nikki Numbers ran by it this morning. It was just still there.
Brandon
Still there?
Unidentified Female
Yeah.
Kyle
Wait, Nikki Numbers, they flew out.
Brandon
Nicky Numbers and. Yeah, I'm passing. Is Nicky Numbers Jerry's brother or something? They have the same voice back in this. But Bang Job by National never picking up the car show. Yeah, we're still, we're still chilling on the side of the road here.
Rico
I mean, that's. Police got it taped off.
Brandon
I don't know if that's a half ass tape job. Yeah, Bang Job by the police too.
Kyle
But yeah, they were just out in the fucking country. I mean, listen, I thought they would be in the city, you know, there was some confusion, but they're just out in the. In the wide open spaces. What did they hit a car? Oh, I think it was a head on collision. Correct?
Brandon
Yes, head on there.
Dana
There's not staying in a city, right?
Brandon
They're in Birmingham, but like on an estate Cruffenberry.
Rico
The video of Jerry texting Dave and everybody around them being like, dude, like stop.
Kyle
Like he's.
Rico
I'm just describing it. Head on collision.
Brandon
No, this is ultimately good for. For them.
Jerry
Oh yeah. What happens like legally here.
TJ
Yeah.
Brandon
I don't know.
Jerry
Is this. What's the other person doing?
Brandon
Right.
Jerry
They gotta have no idea.
Rico
None.
Jerry
Who anybody.
Kyle
I would be now right after Dave Portnoy tweets it. If you're.
Rico
Yeah, but like as big as Dave is some random fucking person in London.
Kyle
Yeah, I guess. I guess you're right.
Rico
But they got a lot of shit going on.
Chase
I do not know.
Kyle
It's a lot smaller space than you think. I think it makes the whole world smaller.
Rico
Yeah.
Kyle
Yeah. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they just. Maybe they never even suspect or never. Never even put any dots together.
Chase
I do not know the answer to this. And Brandon, you'll remember this is a classic Fresh Prince episode. But is there a chance they decline the rental insurance? Credit cards offer it and like you're supposed.
Jerry
I think barstool.
Kyle
Barstool's already taken care of everything by the time you get to the counter, right?
Jerry
You think so?
Kyle
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rico
Rentals are like company rentals that shit.
Kyle
Yeah. Well, actually, when I walked in this morning, Caitlyn said, don't talk to me. I got knee deep in car rental stuff and I didn't even know what that meant until this exact moment. So I assume she's. She's taking.
Rico
She gets. I always feel bad, Colin, because she gets the worst. It's always like, hey, yeah.
Brandon
It's one of those jobs where if you're talking to her, you're not happy with the situation, you take it out on her.
Kyle
Yeah. She said you treat her poorly.
Brandon
No, but everybody does.
Kyle
Yeah, Yeah.
Jerry
I disagree with you.
Kyle
That's how.
Rico
That's how you start
Dana
that laugh.
Jerry
There's pretty much. No.
Kyle
See the driver. You want to take that back? Take what back?
Rico
Because that's it.
Kyle
We're just throwing needles.
Rico
But that's over the line.
Kyle
Well, you didn't actually say it about Kayla or. She didn't say that. You treat her fine.
Jerry
This would me up.
Kyle
Yeah, it looks tight.
Dana
Yeah, it does.
Kyle
But they were on the road like you're Francis.
Dana
Oh, man.
Kyle
Yeah, that would me up.
Rico
Yeah, I can't do that. I could barely drive regularly.
Kyle
Do you get this? What?
Brandon
That's anxiety inducing.
Kyle
Get road rage.
Dana
Yeah, you have to.
Rico
I got trapped in high school.
Kyle
Huh.
Rico
I've definitely Told this story before, had a bad day.
Kyle
Oh, this is a setup.
Rico
Storm like that. Drive my parents minivan home with my two brothers and my buddies from Staten Island. Going from Bay Ridge back to Staten island, you got to take like a strip with a bunch of stop signs as you go through. It's Bay Ridge is very similar to New York City blocks. It's just more. A little more suburban. Anyway, we're driving. Lady in front of us is taking fucking forever. And we can't really get around there because everybody's going that way. It's a one lane thing on a street taking forever with beeping. We're beeping, we're beeping. Finally they pull over. We can get around them as we go by. I'm like, the finger out the thing, right? We drove home, didn't think anything of it. The next day, my buddy's dad, who is a. Was working security at the school. Wait till I'm coming down the hallway. And he's like, oh, the cars registered to them. Okay, thanks, thanks. Hangs up the phone. He's like, yo, did you. You guys like yell at somebody yesterday or give the finger to some lady on 69th and whatever? I'm like, yeah. He's like, yeah. They called the school. They described. They came to the school, filed like a complaint. It was a great minivan, like. So then we narrowed it down and. Oh, we ran the plates. That's what they said. They said they ran the plates. The lady came back, never ran the plates, but she just described the. The car.
Jerry
Yeah.
Rico
And they knew, okay, who's a psycho who drives the thing? And they knew it was me. And he just entrapped me to like, admit that I got in trouble with that. Then a couple like two years ago, this lady, what you were. What do you mean?
Dana
Sounds like you were loud and complicit.
Rico
Yeah, I was. Then boys.
Jerry
Just boys being.
Rico
A couple years ago. A couple years ago, I was two in. In front of the. Yeah, the light. And like I backed up and I have the rear view camera. As soon as I hit the back, I'm going like a mile an hour. This lady, like, hits the. The horn like she thought I was gonna crash into her. I stopped the car, get out and counted the feet in between the two cars. I was like, there's five feet. I see the camera, like, relax in the middle of a street. And she was like. Like, even I got. When I got back in the car, I was like, oh, this could end badly. So I've tried not to anymore.
Kyle
Was there A chicken on the road?
Rico
No, no chicken.
Dana
But yeah.
Rico
Yeah. I don't like driving at all. Yeah, I hate it.
Brandon
It's the worst. So that's ah.
Jerry
I like driving in non stressful areas.
Brandon
Yes.
Jerry
Windows down.
Kyle
But not like you take relaxation rides.
Jerry
The back roads. We used to talk about that.
Kyle
Oh, I did. I used to do it every Sunday.
Jerry
No, but we. You gave me. Cuz you're like. You don't know back roads.
Kyle
That's true.
Brandon
You back gate kept. He has back roads.
Kyle
He don't know back roads.
Jerry
I don't think I know back roads.
Kyle
He don't know back roads.
Jerry
I think Mississippi back roads are back
Kyle
until you've got gravel going under your car.
Rico
And then Massachusetts has a back road.
Dana
Well, I mean West Virginia's got the best bath.
Kyle
Yeah.
Dana
We're weaving in between.
Kyle
You got mountainous back roads. Yeah, but like, hang on, Massachusetts.
Jerry
But I would call it back roads because it's like you'd see the water.
Kyle
Oh, that sounds. Instead of going back road, instead of
Jerry
going on the highway, you take the back roads.
Kyle
Yeah. I mean if you're. If you can see. If you can see ocean or bay. Yeah, that's the best. That's what an immaculate back road that is.
Jerry
Speaking of Massachusetts, I'm going back on the 10th to do a. I'm doing an hour presentation at my college.
Kyle
Really?
Brandon

Now, that guy's got kind of like a cool look.
Rico
I didn't think that when I.
Kyle
New England Free Jacks when I did
Rico
that high school speech, I didn't think that was gonna make its wave back to, like.
Kyle
Yeah, that was stressful. Well, that.
Dana
Was that a basketball team or.
Rico
No, it was just a senior class. And then it was funny. I never met the principal of the school till, like, two weeks later. And he was like, hey, I want to introduce myself. And I was like, yeah. He's like, I didn't expect this. I was like, you got some. You got some pabos. Like, that's the Bosco business.
Jerry
Like, you know.
Rico
Next thing you know, your picture of a senior class is viral on the Internet.
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon
Have you ever been asked to do anything like this?
Kyle
I really haven't.
Rico
You would.
Brandon
You're.
Jerry
Yeah, it's fun, dude. It's fun to, like, turn on a little professionality.
Brandon
One hour.
Jerry
I know. I think it's 40 minutes of presentation and then questions after.
Brandon
How many slides do you think that'll be?
Jerry
I don't know.
Brandon
And how do you keep it from getting stale?
Jerry
I might just be like, you guys can ask me questions for an hour.
Kyle
We do have a kind.
Brandon
So, like, do you think there are anybody. There's anybody that's in that class that is watching the yak right now?
Jerry
Probably a couple young. Youngins.
Brandon
Okay, so what if they asked you about what happened in that bog in front of everybody?
Jerry
I'd be like, what do you. What was that, Stonehill? I'd be like, let's go check it out.
Brandon
Oh, the scene of crimes.
Dana
They probably know about anyone.
Jerry
It's behind mariachis. Thursday night bar. Yeah, I'd go. I'd be like, hey, if you want. After this, you want to grab a beer and check it out?
Dana
I'm down and Scott Wieners in the background.
Brandon
Like, what's he talking? What's what? What happened in the box?
Jerry
I'm gonna laugh when I see with the weaned man.
Brandon
All right, practice a straight face, Kyle. Introduce yourself as Scott Wiener.
Dana
All right. And I'm Scott Wiener.
Brandon
Oh, no, he's not doing that.
Jerry
He's not doing.
Kyle
He's not saying his name.
Jerry
Scott Weiner.
Brandon
He's not going to pronounce his name.
Kyle
He's addressing a whole crowd of people.
Jerry
Well, she doesn'. He did it too dramatically.
Kyle
All right, do it very casually then, Kyle.
Dana
And I'm Scott Weiner.
Jerry
Hey, Scott. How are you? Nice to meet you. I'm Dana.
Dana
Yeah. Scott Wiener.
Jerry
Nice to meet you.
Dana
Yeah.
Rico
Yeah.
Dana
And your name is? Sorry, I'm horrible.
Jerry
Dana. Dana Barawi, AKA Dana Beers.
Brandon
Barawi. That's an interesting last name.
Jerry
I'm not gonna say that.
Dana
All right, again, I'm Scott Wiener, just in case you forgot, because I know I'm bad with name.
Jerry
All right. Yeah, yeah.
Brandon
Barahi. Where's that from? Is that. What's that last name? Origin?
Jerry
Egyptian.
Brandon
And do you want to ask Mr. Wiener the origin of. Where's Wiener from? What's the origin?
Jerry
Dude, you guys are me now. I'm gonna be. I'm not even gonna be able to meet.
Kyle
Yeah, you definitely wouldn't laugh without us there.
Brandon
Yeah, you're right.
Rico
I know how to.
Jerry
I know when to turn it on and off. At a. At a call.
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon
But if it's a strange place.
Kyle
Her name is Wiener. You turn it on.
Jerry
Yeah.
TJ
You hear Wiener say, I go by Dana Beers because I like drinking beers. Do you go by.
Brandon
Yeah,
Jerry
that would be nice.
Dana
So Barbie, Egyptian.
TJ
Nice.
Rico
Yeah, man, nice.
Brandon
Return the favor.
TJ
Verdana, would you pay the 10 GS to change your name if your name was Scott Wieners?
Jerry
Can we not do this to Scott Wiener? He's a nice guy.
Kyle
He seems like a hell of a guy.
Brandon
Sure, he's a hell of a guy.
TJ
Dealt a bad name.
Brandon
Yeah, but Wiener's a tough one.
Jerry
You'll be Wiener or Winky.
Brandon
Winky Wieners. At least it could be big. Winkies can't be big.
Rico
My dad worked with a guy. His. I think it was Timmy Hiscock.
Brandon
His name's His Cock.
Rico
Yeah, and then when he left the company, they were like, I guess we rubbed his the wrong way.
TJ
You don't even need Nick.
Rico
My sister.
Jerry
It's classic.
Rico
Went to a school with a girl whose last name was Hiscock. I think her first name was Jessica. So when you say it fast, not great.
Brandon
Jessica is Suck his cock.
Kyle
Just sucker. His cock. Just sucker.
Rico
It's a tough one.
Kyle
I mean, you're really having to slow that down to suck a Hiscock once you.
Rico
Once you hear it.
Brandon
I mean, if your last name's his cock, you don't even need to.
TJ
Jessica. His Cock.
Kyle
We had some bad cocks. So we never. I've never heard of a Hiscock.
Brandon
We had a ton of boners.
Kyle
Boners?
Brandon
Yeah, we had a ton of boners.
Dana
Yeah, with an A.
Brandon
A. R. But pronounced boner.
Rico
Boner was a prominent character on Growing Pains. Growing Pains, Why was that?
Kyle
I don't know.
Rico
Just back then boners were encouraged.
Kyle
Yeah.
Rico
Now they've cut it out.
Brandon
They have, they really have.
Rico
Thanks a lot, Rico.
Brandon
Is it Biden's fault?
Rico
Oh, yeah.
Brandon
That they cut out boners?
Rico
Yeah, whatever.
Kyle
You're dressed really nice today and I want to compliment your appearance.
Rico
Thank you.
Jerry
How about Bosco coming in for one stream, going back for another stream, then coming back for another.
Kyle
Guy's a workhorse.
Brandon
You keeping the miles?
Rico
Yeah, I keep the mile.
Kyle
Okay.
Rico
Just like to save them up. But no, before Brandon like threw that out there, I was saying, I do think Caitlyn's got to deal with a bunch of like, brutal calls.
Kyle
Oh, yeah, I'm sure she does, but she, she does. I think most people, I think everybody here treats her. Treats her well, we understand she's a
Brandon
nervous wreck all the time.
Kyle
That's the walker in her, is that
Rico
she's got 15 year old Steve on there. It's a good team.
Jerry
Yeah, she's.
Rico
And they. And they fucking handle things like, unbelievably so.
Jerry
I would always send her stuff to print for me. And I just found out today I can print from my laptop.
Brandon
You have printer access?
Kyle
I do. When you said I would always send her stuff, I thought you mean you would be like on the plane on the way here, you need to print it to her. You're just talking about from your desk. You would say, caitlin, print this for me.
Jerry
I would text her like, hey, if I email you something, can you print it for me? And then I looked today and I was like, oh, I have access. I can do that myself.
Rico
Why is the office. I don't know how many of you worked in offices. The office printer, though, at all times was like trying to operate a. Yeah,
Brandon
I can't do it. Can't figure it out.
Rico
You would. The people would walk down the hall to make copies or something. Then you'd like, look and they'd be like, is it good? Like, it's like, nah, it's up. Like, I don't know, it just never worked. Who knows?
Dana
It's never advanced. Yeah, but that and audio.
Unidentified Female
Yeah.
TJ
Yeah.
Kyle
All right.
Rico
What do you guys think about the game?
Kyle
I think if. I think Michigan's one of the best teams in the country. But if you were giving me my choice of four seeds throughout the years, I think this Alabama would be one. I would. I would lean towards Titus said it on tv.
Rico
It's going to shoot. It's going to sound stupid. Like point spreads don't really matter at Alabama.
Kyle
No, it could be. If they're hot, they can win by 15. If they're cold and don't play defense, they can lose about 20, no problem.
Rico
It just doesn't matter. Yeah. Like it. You could. You've raised the line to 15. At this point, it doesn't matter. They're. They either have it that night or they don't.
Brandon
Has coach wished you good luck?
Kyle
Is he.
Jerry
I'll take that as Rico talk about it.
Rico
Yeah. I checked in with the boys this morning.
Brandon
Do you feel like with such a heavy thing, do you think he'll think about that at all during the game?
TJ
Jeff's lost some weight.
Rico
You said such a thing. Oh, yeah. I think he'll.
Kyle
All right.
Rico
I think he's dialed.
Kyle
Let me ask it like this. Let's say tomorrow night Alabama wins, right? And you've just doubled your salary for 10 years. But then NATO goes in the post game interview and said, that was for my boy Rico Bosco, 10 years from now. Do you remember that as the night you won the bet or the night Nate Oates shouted you out?
Rico
He already has shouted me out. Do you. Do you forget last year they asked him about the bus?
Kyle
I guess I did.
Rico
And they said, hey, if you win a national championship, does Rico get a ring? He goes, rico's my guy. He would absolutely get a ring.
Kyle
I did forget about that and I apologize for that.
Dana
Them.
Jerry
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah.
Jerry
So.
Kyle
So you've already got your shout outs. You don't need another one. Yeah. Okay.
Rico
That's my guy.
TJ
Have you had to do any behind the scenes planning with your potential future
Kyle
co host partner yet? You had to hide any murder weapons for the team?
Rico
No.
Kyle
Okay.
Rico
No, that's. Cut that out. No, I think there'll be. If the pod goes, I think there'll be a third party who handles all the text.
Kyle
Yeah.
Rico
In my opinion, there'll be no group chat.
Kyle
Lucas is the producer, right?
Rico
I guess. I don't know, but whatever.
Kyle
How's. How's that. And how's that enemy going? Because he seems to have been really taking it to you over recent weeks.
Rico
Yeah, it's frustrating because I didn't really give a about him before.
Kyle
Okay.
Rico
It was a small little thing like, I don't know, Danny, you've been around me a long period of time. In the terms of, like, me getting worked up. Where would you put that? Like a one and a half?
Jerry
On the. On the dug Dug.
Rico
Yeah.
Jerry
Yeah. It wasn't bad.
Rico
It's like a one and a half so now. But that's how it works. Like, I'm the economy.
Jerry
But I was seeing your. Probably gonna have to talk about it. You're saying what your phone was. It was. I would have. I would have been going nuclear.
Brandon
Right.
Rico
I handle that pretty well.
Jerry
A lot of phone calls.
Kyle
Good for you. So.
Rico
But anyway, yeah, it's frustrating because it's like, now it's a way into the orbit and, like, I didn't really care about it before. I did say, like, just make it go away, but that's. Whatever. He's just living off of it.
Kyle
So it is what it is.
Brandon
But can we try to book Scott Wiener for today?
Dana
Maybe just practice with the actual after?
Jerry
Let him be.
Brandon
Reach out and try to.
Jerry
I should have never even said anything.
Kyle
He's.
Brandon
He.
Jerry
I hope he can. I hope he can take a joke. What if he can't?
Brandon
If you're. Grow up, Wiener.
Kyle
He knows how to take a joke. He had. He went to college. He had. He went to high school. He's got boys.
Jerry
What if I get there and he's like, I heard what your boys were
Kyle
saying, what you said.
Jerry
And then I'm all, it's an awkward six hours.
Kyle
That's a long, awkward time.
Brandon
But, like, is he going to be sitting while. While you're presenting?
Jerry
I don't know.
Brandon
You're going to be staring at your. Staring at your PowerPoint people.
Jerry
Students choose to go in. In different classrooms.
Brandon
Okay.
Jerry
Yeah.
Kyle
When is this?
Jerry
Next Friday. Not the 10th. 10th April.
Brandon
Will this be filmed.
Jerry
No, this is. Stop. What are you doing a side eye for? You just looked at him. You did. You gave Brand the side eye.
Kyle
I think he was just react. I think he was just. His head was doing normal head things.
Jerry
This is.
Kyle
Come on.
Jerry
This is cool for me.
Brandon
It's very cool.
Jerry
Let's not.
Kyle
Okay.
Jerry
We're all.
Kyle
We won't. We won't make it a thing.
Jerry
Thank you.
Brandon
I'm happy you're doing this. I'm proud of you.
Kyle
You know where I'm. You know where I'm going in a couple weeks?
Brandon
Where you gone?
Kyle
The wiener dog race.
Jerry
Oh, yeah.
Kyle
Yeah. I'm the.
Jerry
I have a wiener dog.
Kyle
The starfle wiener dog race. So if you want to go there. I was gonna say if mine was before Yours. You could go to the wiener dog race.
Jerry
Do you have a wiener dog?
Kyle
I don't. But I am the grand Marshal of the 2026 Biggest Wiener Dog race in America.
Brandon
Marshall or wizard grand marshal?
Kyle
Grand Marshall.
Brandon
Okay. Yeah. Yeah, That'll be fun.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
And have you practiced how you're gonna open that up or.
Kyle
Don't even know what I have to do. I think I might just be wearing a wiener hat or something.
Brandon
So Dana is presenting at universities and you are the grand marshal of the wiener dog race.
Kyle
Sounds like I win that one, Nick.
Brandon
Yeah.
Jerry
I also have good cholesterol, and KB doesn't.
Brandon
You are an anomaly.
Dana
That's true.
Kyle
That was a pivot.
Brandon
Everything's coming up beers.
Jerry
Sorry, Kyle.
Dana
No, that's true.
Jerry
Made me think of that.
Dana
Cheetos is a Pepsi product.
Brandon
That's a fun fact. Is it?
Kyle
Actually, a lot of things are Pepsi products, aren't they?
Brandon
Does Cheetos own Frito Lay? Does. Does Fritos Frito Lay?
Kyle
I don't know.
Rico
All right. I gotta move some flights around. I got some problems going on right now. But it was great hour with you guys.
Kyle
Yeah.
TJ
Let's go.
Brandon
Thank you.
Kyle
No, no, no, no, no. What do you have to do?
Rico
Well, Dana's tech set off something else that. Yeah, we got.
Jerry
There's an event next week that is canceled.
Rico
Right. So I got them. And then I'm looking at the list and it's. There's somebody supposed to book me somewhere else and they booked me somewhere wrong. I got to go deal with that.
Kyle
You got to go yell at Caitlyn,
Rico
dude, you're going to start that and then I'm going to start some rico.
Jerry
That was a joke.
Rico
Yeah, but it's. There's over the cuz like you've never.
Kyle
You don't yell at Caitlyn. I'm just, I'm just, just don't start now.
Rico
Okay?
Kyle
Okay. All right. All right. I, I, I feel it. Caitlyn. It's fine.
Brandon
Now would be the per time to yell at her because nobody would believe it.
Kyle
She was running when I was.
Brandon
When I was go scream at yes.
Kyle
When I was.
Brandon
Nobody will believe it.
Kyle
She was running on my treadmill and whatever. All right.
Rico
Good hour. Anybody who's. You're in for Alabama. Yeah, you're in fellow.
Kyle
Obviously it doesn't matter who anybody roots for. You win regardless. But I would like nice to win. I think the more entertaining option here is you winning. Yes.
Rico
I'd like to be the bell of the ball at the final four again. That'd be a tree.
Brandon
Do you like being the center of attention?
Rico
It depends.
Kyle
No, it does.
Brandon
When it's good stuff.
Rico
Yeah. Yeah.
Brandon
I appreciate the.
Jerry
Who doesn't.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kyle
Stuff. So it's. I know you can win this bet. Is the. Is the bus bet still.
Rico
Oh, yeah.
Kyle
So you could win this bet, be on top of the world and then. And then St. John's goes around 4. You still got to bust to the final four.
Jerry
Yeah.
Kyle
Which is New York to Indy was a lot better than New York to do, you feel.
Brandon
One more question for me. If. If Alabama wins and your salary is doubled, does that put a bigger target on your back from Dave?
Rico
Probably.
Brandon
Is there a chance your life gets worse?
Rico
Probably. But I mean, he. He thought of it. I didn't bring it up. Sure. It's not like I was pestering him for 10 years.
Brandon
Yeah.
Rico
Like. Like. Or for that bet, so to speak. Like, whatever. I didn't bring it up. He brought it up. That's why these content, you know, he knows what he's doing. But yeah, probably. It's probably a target because I think every time those checks go out, he's probably getting more and more mad. But whatever.
Jerry
Is there any.
Rico
I think. Yeah.
Jerry
Stipulations with if you don't make it 10 years?
Rico
No, I probably should put that in before I sign.
Kyle
Yeah.
Rico
Put it on the roommates.
Kyle
Yeah.
Rico
Why would I not make it 10 years?
Jerry
I don't know. I'm just saying maybe you.
Kyle
Yeah.
Rico
That sounds like somebody rooting for Michigan. No, I'm not.
Kyle
I was like, somebody rooting for a lot of.
Jerry
You know, I'm a RICO guy.
Dana
I know.
Jerry
Yeah.
Rico
But it's a possibility I won't make it 10 years.
Jerry
So I'm not saying, like, die or anything out there.
Kyle
I think he's saying getting yourself fired by attacking a co worker.
Rico
Yeah, I haven't done that.
Kyle
Oh, me either.
Rico
In a while.
Brandon
In a while.
Kyle
Yeah.
Rico
I mean, there was the thing last year with the I attack. Yeah. Kind of.
Kyle
Like, I do like the guy I
Rico
gave a little, like, stunt.
Kyle
I do like the fact that the. The. The guy that you did throw the can at. You guys are just friends, right? Yeah.
Rico
That was horrible.
Kyle
Guys like each other.
Rico
That was. That was that. He didn't do a damn thing wrong.
Kyle
You guys get along though, right?
Rico
Yeah, he didn't. He didn't do anything wrong. That's how, you know I was fucked up. I needed help. So. Yeah, you got a bottom out to build yourself back up.
Kyle
Agreed. But a huge salary from what I've heard a huge salary isn't. Isn't the answer to everything, Rico. So we still gotta. Still gotta be.
Rico
Makes a lot easier though.
Kyle
It really does.
Brandon
I mean, if you're making. If you double your salary, you could buy your mom a house. She could move out of it as soon as she moves in.
Rico
I would buy a lot of underwear.
Brandon
Underwear, huh? For yourself?
Rico
Yeah.
Brandon
Right away. You want like a different pair every day.
Rico
That's the goal. That'd be the first thing I did. If I hit the lottery.
Brandon
Would you buy three like a year. 65 years worth of money. You've long said that.
Rico
Into underwear and socks. I really do.
Kyle
You'd buy 365 pair of underwear so you don't have to. No. Reuse. 100 disposable underwear. Is your. Is your thought of be the first
Rico
thing I do 100.
TJ
A laundry thing you don't like?
Rico
Yeah, I just. Just like, why not?
Kyle
You have a front loader?
Rico
No, I got. They. They make these things to break now.
Brandon
Yeah, they do.
Kyle
They make a lot of things to break.
Rico
And there's one appliance guy left in the whole world who like fixes things.
Dana
They make what to break?
Rico
You don't even want to do the.
Kyle
Everything.
Jerry
Every tech.
Brandon
Every new tech is made to break land obsolescent underwear.
Rico
Brutal. So.
Jerry
But.
Kyle
All right. Go.
Rico
All right. Let me go handle this.
Kyle
All right. Coming back.
Rico
Are you back tonight?
Kyle
Yeah. Right. Okay.
Brandon
Oh.
Kyle
All right. Well, just.
Dana
Here we go.
Kyle
Give me a Wrigley hot dog. Just give me. Give me a collector's cup.
Dana
Yeah. Is there anyone looked into this? Tj.
Rico
What do we.
Dana
It's illegal, but it's happen.
Unidentified Female
Yeah, that's why, like, your. Your phone might stop working after like 1.75 years when your contract is 2 years.
Jerry
Is there anyone around that could be. Sit in. I have a meeting.
Brandon
Let's go to the cameras.
Kyle
Yeah, let's. Let's. I think it's pretty. Well, there's. Yep. Yep. Maybe the upstairs and see what we got up.
TJ
Yeah.
Kyle
Mintz is not there. I bet this is bad.
Brandon
It's. I'm phenomenally jealous.
Kyle
Unbelievably jealous.
Jerry
Let me see if I can move some around.
Brandon
No, it's.
Dana
It's.
Kyle
How long's the meeting? Why don't you go to the meeting? Come back.
Jerry
No, no, no.
Kyle
I just have the meeting here.
TJ
I could sit in, but I will need to get up soon.
Unidentified Female
Skiing's got pulled, by the way.
Brandon
I know.
Kyle
What.
Brandon
Yeah.
Dana
What does that mean?
Kyle
Pulled in the game or Pulled from the start.
Brandon
He got shelled.
Dana
Scheme.
Brandon
But it seems to be o' Neill Cruz's fault. It's.
Jerry
It's.
Kyle
Oh, I was going to. Damn it.
Jerry
Cones are pirates.
Brandon
Your number one West Virginia Mountaineers are my number one.
Kyle
I was gonna bet Soto to homer. He didn't. Home.
Brandon
I ordered pierogies to the office, and Nick didn't help.
Jerry
I'm a sauerkraut guy. Potato guy. I didn't like it.
Brandon
You didn't like the pierogi, which is surprising.
Jerry
Yeah, I thought I was gonna love it.
Dana

Yep.

I think I can. I know the level of professionality.
Rico
And not go to the beer.
Jerry
Yeah, yeah.
TJ
One of the slides should be a beer slide, though.

Brandon
Is there a slide that's going to be about handling natural disasters?
Kyle

Brandon
Emergency response.
Kyle
It's you in a FEMA jacket with a beer tap. What bush should have done.

Brandon
Do you want to do a test run of the presentation to us?
Jerry
No.
Kyle
Okay. Has West Virginia ever asked you to do anything?
Brandon
They've never acknowledged me once for anything really, Ever, Ever.

Dana
Mick Guinness.
Brandon
Split the patty. It's McDonald's and beer with Wiener.
Dana
Split the beef patty.
Jerry
Yeah.
Brandon
You're trying to get that middle piece of bread in a Big Mac.
Dana
And again, I'm Scott Wiener.
Jerry
If you guys are watching, I'm very excited. This is all. This is a comedy show,
Brandon
Professor McGinnis. You're going to crush.
Kyle
Yeah, you're going to. You're going to kill it.
Jerry
I like public speaking.
Brandon
This is your first presentation in person to the class though.
Jerry
A second. This is like different. I've done one like Q A.
Kyle
But how far along in your career were you when you did that?
Jerry
That was two years.
Kyle
Two or three years ago. It's fair to say you've. You've come a long way since two years ago, right?
Jerry
I guess.
Kyle
I mean, you were in good shape. Sorry, my bad. Yeah, you know what? Never mind. I moved here, got married. Yeah, you're a different man now.
Jerry
A dog.
Kyle
You put. You're putting a lot of emphasis on that dog. Like you've, like.
Jerry
That's a big step in life, dude.
Brandon
It hasn't even gotten hard yet. I bet. Is it just sleeping?
Jerry
Oh, he was humping me for the first time last night.
Brandon
No kidding?
Jerry
Yeah. You're talking about the dick.
Kyle
Huh?
Dana
Oh, he's talking about the dick.
Brandon
Wait, so I said it hasn't gotten hard yet. And you thought about your puppy's erection.
Jerry
What are you talking about?
Brandon
Just like the act of having a dog.
Kyle
The difficulty of having a dog.
Jerry
Not. Not.
Kyle
Has your puppy's dick gotten erect yet?
Dana
I can't believe that happened.
Brandon
That is horribly.
Dana
I thought you were maybe playing into it.
Jerry
Oh, no, no.
Brandon
Oh, you're talking about his car.
Unidentified Female
The last three times you talked him about his dog, it has been about penis.
Brandon
Yeah, I Guess.
Dana
Kind of enough.
Jerry
You said, has it gotten hard?
Brandon
It hasn't even gotten hard yet.
Kyle
Right? Raise it the dog.
Jerry
All right.
Brandon
I said, it hasn't even gotten hard yet. It's probably just sleeping all the time.
Jerry
I can't explain why my brain.
TJ
It was all the wiener talk.
Dana
Yeah, yeah, wiener.
Jerry
Nobody did hump my arm.
Brandon
Oh, the contraire, Nick. It has gotten hard for the first time last night.
Dana
And is humping imply an erection? Like.
Brandon
No.
Jerry
No.
Kyle
I think it's erection practice for a puppy.
Jerry
Yeah. You can get it. I don't think you can get a boner as a puppy.
Kyle
Probably. I don't know.
Dana
God.
Jerry
15 weeks old.
Kyle
I sat and. I sat and watched muskrats last night.
Brandon
You watched muskrats?
Dana
But, yeah, no one's ever seen muskrats.
Kyle
I was sitting on muskrats or nutria, whatever, I. In my lake. Or groundhogs that swim. I got four of them, and they were around their den. And I'm sitting on the dock, and they're just coming in and out. And one will come in, try to fuck, and the other dude will chase him out. And then. Then the one muskrat would chase the other one and start fucking in the water. They were just fucking right in the water. So it wasn't. They were trying to be private or nothing. So I just watched 4 Muskrats. Otter. Not otters.
TJ
I was gonna say groundhogs that swim. Are you thinking of a beaver?
Kyle
No, that would be a beaver. I know what a beaver is. I think it's a muskrat.
TJ
I don't think I've ever seen one.
Jerry
Yeah. I couldn't tell you what a muskrat looks like.
Kyle
It looks like a rat that swims.
Jerry
Really?
Kyle
Yeah, otters.
Brandon
Backyard used to have a ton of them.
Kyle
Otters are long and slender and sleek. Beavers have the tail and the teeth. And this is just. This, just like an oversized rat. That's. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Brandon
Oh, they're not bad.
Jerry
I like them.
Brandon
Yeah, it's got a back.
Kyle
That's exactly what I saw. Yeah. That one. That one there, swimming with his tail. There were four of them, just. And I always thought there was one that lived under my dock.
Jerry
Were they.
Kyle
But there were four.
Jerry
Were they getting after it?
Kyle
They were getting after it, Dana. They were swimming. They were swimming out. And then when. When. When one would swim out, another would swim in, try to get the pussy. And then the.
Rico
At.
Kyle
One would circle back, say, ah, get away from me. You're not getting that pussy. And then it was. It was. I think it's mating season.
Jerry
Sounds kind of.
Dana
It looked really fun to throw a muskrat.
Kyle
Yeah, I could have seen that. I don't. They weren't as big as that one appeared to be. It would have been more like instead of throwing a football and more like, you know, the plastic footballs cheerleaders throw when a high school team touchdown. Yeah, it would have been throwing one of those.
Brandon
Interesting.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
Was it a river otter?
Kyle
It wasn't a river otter. Otters are sleek and narrow. Yeah, this was. This was more. Not sleek and not narrow.
Brandon
Interesting.
Kyle
And I was elite at catching those plastic footballs from cheerleaders. Just want everybody.
Dana
I think they did that at our place.
Kyle
They didn't do that. Is that a south thing?
Rico
No.
Brandon
I know we had little.
Kyle
When your team scores a touchdown, do your cheerleaders go into their bag and throw flash of footballs in the stands?
Dana
Seen that.
Kyle
Okay, well, that's just me.
Brandon
I'm aware of the little plastic footballs.
Kyle
Yeah, I had a collection and many. So wiener. Huh?
Brandon
Oh, you're Dana.
Kyle
Your dog's cock.
Brandon
Oh, you're.
Jerry
I can't believe I said that about my dog. I mean, I can, but.
Brandon
Yeah, Very believable.
Jerry
Sometimes I amaze myself with how my brain reacts to things.
Brandon
You're an interesting cat. Speaking of interesting cat, I got an Evite to like. Your cats are hosting a party at your house, Kyle.
Dana
We. They're not actually. So.
Brandon
Yeah. Okay. Yeah, but it has their full names. Yeah, Pinky Raquel Malink Rockwell. Raquel Malinky.
Dana
It says Malinki.
Brandon
It says Malinky on my cat. Evite.
Dana
We didn't agree to that.
Brandon
And Piper Jones Malone.
Kyle
Thank you, Malinky.
Jerry
Nah.
Dana
Yeah, she was having too much fun.
Brandon
Yeah, you might. Piper Raquel.
Jerry
It's just.
Dana
It's Piper Michelle Jones.
Brandon
Why does it say Piper Raquel Malinky.
Kyle
Oh, that was Pinky. Malinky.
Brandon
Pinky. Malinky. I'm sorry. And Piper Jones Malone's trying to have
Dana
fun with the invites. I want to be a real party.
Brandon
Well, now. And it's a picture of your cat.
Dana
The whole party's a joke.
Brandon
Spreading his.
Kyle
Why is your cat spreading his.
Dana
That's a funny pick.
Brandon
Did you not get the Evite, Kyle?
Dana
I didn't get the. It's. It's a big deal. It's our first housewarming thing.
Kyle
You guys didn't.
Dana
I've never had anyone over my plate.
Brandon
This will be my first time being somewhere Kyle has slept.
Kyle
Mine too.
Brandon
You're gonna go.
Kyle
No, I didn't get invited. You guys didn't agree on Malinky.
Brandon
She just snuck Malinky.
Kyle
That's a big.
Dana
It's like something we would say, like Pinky Malinky. Whimsically like. Oh, Pinky Maliki.
Kyle
Oh, Pinky.
Dana
Not her name.
Kyle
Get over here. Pinky Malinki.
Brandon
That's gonna be an argument for later.
Rico
Yeah, it is.
Dana
It's not that funny to me. Hate it. Yeah. Hate it.
Brandon
Yeah.
Rico
Yeah.
Brandon
Because I think that's, like, her legal name now.
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon
Also, it's the first time I've ever seen Pinky.
Kyle
And was Malone similarly added to Piper Jones?
Dana
Right. We have to have that. Talk about who takes the creative liberties in the household.
Brandon
That's kind of your area of expertise.
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon
There's a little bit of an overstep.
Dana
Stick to the laundry, the dishes, the vacuuming, the. In ordering all the decor.
Brandon
I'll name the cats. Now that you got a bigger place, are you gonna get a third?
Dana
We were thinking about it, actually. It's. We can't. It's just too crazy.
Brandon
Three cats is.
Dana
Three cats is the cats is crazy.
Kyle
Yeah. The cats officially run the house. At three cats, the two cats, you've still got a fight.
Dana
They're so easy.
Kyle
I know they're easy.
Dana
More of these things to observe.
Brandon
But what's more.
Kyle
But then, like. Like, at that point, at 3, it's like, oh, that's. That's the place with the cat.
Dana
But they both are so different, and they bring me joy in two totally different ways. I don't know. A third might more joy.
Brandon
You're not covering more poop. You don't have hair on you.
Kyle
No, you're not.
Dana
No. It. There is no downside. Literally none.
Kyle
Well, the problem is what 3 does 3 become 4? Does 4 become 5?
Brandon
When does it end? Every time you get a bigger place, Are you going to get another cat?
Kyle
Yeah, if you eventually. Are you in the suburbs with a yard overrun by cats and kittens?
Dana
I don't know. I love. I think I would love heaps of kitties.
Kyle
I love cats, too.
Brandon
I do, too. I wish I wasn't allergic.
Dana
And I thought. I always thought, like, oh, kittens are the cute ones. And then you develop an affinity for growing grumpy, fat, old cats.
Kyle
Their personalities are like us. I mean, they're. They're. They're. You know, they are making a cat happy or making a cat like you is. Is quite the accomplishment in life.
Dana
Life.
TJ
Get the Maine coon, Kyle.
Dana
Mans are a lot you love man. I do, yeah.
Kyle
Since your videos, the people who love Maine coons look like they love it. I don't know if I, I would be scared. I got one of those big cats tried to rub its belly and it would maul me. How could something like that.
Brandon
Could you integrate that with regular cats though? Cuz that thing's.
Dana
I don't know.
Kyle
Yeah, it's gigantic.
Dana
I don't know how that would work.
Brandon
Would you ever go hairless?
Dana
No. I think those are very ugly.
Rico
I love them.
Dana
I don't dislike them. They're just visually hard to look at for me.
Kyle
Okay.
Dana
I think I could develop a love for them though. Nothing against them.
Kyle
I just want a good solid orange cat.
Dana
Yeah, I do want an orange.
Kyle
I want an orange really bad.
Brandon
Or.
Kyle
Best cat I ever had was an orange.
Dana
I want a real fat orange cat.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kyle
I think orange cats are the best cats. Yeah.
TJ
Do people like seek breeds when cat shopping or is just go by color?
Kyle
I think rich, rich, rich people do, right?
Brandon
Yeah, yeah. But those are cats that look like leopards. Yeah, yeah.
Kyle
Or the per. The. The. The fat faced.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sheiks love cats.
Kyle
Do they?
Brandon
Yeah, I think sheiks are buying chic like cats.
TJ
Isn't it Marlin's man who has like seven Maine coons?
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon
I wouldn't be shocked at that point. You get a dog though.
Kyle
Yeah. If you got a Maine Coon, you, you basically have a dog. I mean they, they're. But there is this one TikTok account of this guy that just will sit in his recliner with his feet up and let his Maine coon. The Maine coon will lay on his belly and he just rubs him for the entirety of the video.
Brandon
Do you have a cat?
Kyle
I have Fluffy, who is my cat, who I had from Fulton.
Brandon
If you laugh at Fluffy, you're fucked with wiener. And has Fluffy gotten a boner? Brandon?
Jerry
Fluffy is just. I don't know why that triggered a
Dana
laugh, but yeah, it's funny.
Jerry
He's had a Fluffy and he was a piece of the cat.
Kyle
Or the buddy.
Jerry
The buddy's dog.
Kyle
What? The dog was Fluffy.
Dana
The dog was third character.
Jerry
And we always used to do a voice.
Kyle
You gotta understand. When I got Fluffy, it was too.
Brandon
What was the voice?
Dana
Dating.
Brandon
What was the voice?
Dana
Dude, you're about to make me laugh. You're about to get me laughing.
Kyle
You're sl. You're actually slapping your knee. You are physically slapping your knee. Me?
Jerry
I, I called my buddy Joe. We used to love saying Fluffy.
Brandon
Fluffy.
Dana
We're almost done.
Brandon
Voice call Joe right now.
Kyle
Just do the show by yourself, Dana.
Brandon
And just be like, hey, remember your. Was it a dog?
Jerry
Yeah.
Brandon
And then he'll do the voice.
Kyle
Buffy. It was like, British.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kyle
What was.
Brandon
What was going on there?
Jerry
Why we used to do that?
Brandon
What was going on there?
Jerry
He's not gonna expect this. He's probably worse.
Kyle
Thank God my cat's name was Fluffy.
Brandon
He's probably Cubs game with smokes.
Dana
You wouldn't say Fluffy like Fluffy.
Jerry
Fluffy.
Kyle
Fluffy.
TJ
Just say that when he answers.
Dana
Yeah, yeah.
Brandon
Are you high?
Jerry
No, I don't smoke weed.
Kyle
Sounds like show's not answering.
Jerry
Didn't answer.
Brandon
Brandon, did you get a little buzz last night?
Kyle
No, I didn't. I forgot to do it. I went to bed very early last night.
Dana
Oh, did you hand off some of them can?
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
I'm finally the fucking plug. I wanted to be the plug. For how long?
Kyle
I got a stream tonight, but I'm gonna do it tomorrow night. I'll let you know. Can't wait.
TJ
Do what?
Brandon
Sip a little marijuana.
Jerry
Mm.
Kyle
Very, very, very, very little.
Brandon
Very, very, very, very little.
Kyle
Promise it's very little.
Brandon
I swear to you, bro.
Kyle
Okay. All right. Cause anything more than very little, I get paranoid.
Brandon
It's less than very little.
TJ
I haven't dabbled with those. Are those, like, edibles where it takes a while to kick in the cans?
Kyle
Yeah.
Dana
My experience is they take shorter to kick in. They kick in pretty fast.
Brandon
I ordered one at dinner last night
Dana
on tap and have them at restaurants.
Brandon
Yeah. And I had to go home.
Kyle
My sleeping is just off. Two nights ago, I slept an hour and a half. Last night I slept 10 hours. Probably because I slept in that. But anyway, my nights vary like that. I'll have one elite sleeping night and one awful sleeping night. And I can't stack. I can't stack decent. I can't just sleep seven hours a night. I'm extreme one way or the other.
TJ
Do you have a panic attack, Nick?
Brandon
Yeah, I sure did.
Dana
At the eatery.
Brandon
At the eatery. At the range kitchen.
TJ
What makes you think going into it. Because you don't smoke a lot at all and. But you're just like, this will be fine.
Brandon
I've been, like, super on edge and struggling to sleep. So I was like, let's try this. It was working at home, so I got brave enough to try it out and I just had to go retreat to the basement.
Dana
Yeah, I get it.
Brandon
I just. I can't get. I don't understand that people that can socially do it. What Is this drinking THC drink?
Jerry
Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I've never done that.
TJ
It's the inconsistency. Someone will hand you a pen. It'll be like, oh, I can't draw.
Brandon
Yeah.
TJ
And then someone else will hand you on. And you'll be on Mars.
Brandon
Yeah, it's. It's. It's a coin flip every time. I was due for a panic attack, though. Did Joe just text you?
Unidentified Female
Dana?
Rico
Yeah.
Jerry
This kid's taking a nap.
Kyle
He can't.
Jerry
He can't watch it right now.
Brandon
That's the best.
Kyle
Is he locked in the room with him?
Jerry
Oh, you know, your kids taking it up. You don't want to be on the phone doing the Fluffy voice.
Dana
He was taking
Kyle
Fluffy. I gotta have the voice, though.
Brandon
I know. I need to.
Jerry
I don't know. I want to laugh. I think we had our. One of our friends had a dog named Fluffy, and he had a funny voice, and we. He would always say Fluffy.
Kyle
Anyway. Yeah, I have a cat. His name is Fluffy. He lives at my mama's house now.
Unidentified Female
Okay.
TJ
Fluffy's just bawling.
Jerry
The.
Kyle
Fluffy.
Jerry
Is he Fluffy?
Kyle
When I got the cat, it was like 2018, and my. My kids were like. And, you know, what are they now? 17, 13? They were like nine, seven. You know, they were all. And I was. The kids named it Fluffy. Yeah. Yeah.
Jerry
It's a good name.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
How are the new birds adjusting a new bird?
Kyle
The new birds are doing very well.
Brandon
Is the rabbit still alive?
Kyle
No. Well, the rabbits at my mama's.
Brandon
Which mama's in the Down south, she took them.
Kyle
She took the rabbits and the guinea pigs. Yeah. Which. I don't know how many guinea pigs we're at now, but. But the bird, the new bird is a singer.
Brandon
Is that good or bad?
Kyle
It's good. I love. I love the birds singing in the house. I love feeling like the birds are there and. And my wife is taken to them. She. She will put the cage. We brought a big, big cage. And she'll put the cage out on the deck on a warm day. She'll put them by the window. She moves them. She bought a tree for them, so.
Brandon
Sounds like they have a pretty good life.
Kyle
They have a pretty good life. And the new bird is adjusting well.
Brandon
And how's the. The widow?
Jerry
He.
Kyle
He picked right up with his new piece. Oh, yeah? Pick right up with his new piece. He's doing well.
Brandon
They're fucking.
Kyle
I don't know if they're fucking, but I think they're. They have a nice rapport with each Other. Okay. And she just talks constantly. Maybe he's in hell.
Rico
Yeah.
Brandon
Maybe in a cage with a talking bird.
Kyle
Screaming ass bird. Yeah.
Brandon
Man, oh man.
Kyle
She's pretty too. She's just a yellow that I can't even describe. Like a. A yellow with a little green tint that gets yellower as her head. It's. She's a beautiful bird.
Dana
So pretty.
Brandon
Oh, we haven't done a single ad, have we?

No. You should do one.

a c k dot com Brandon Lau 2 for 2 or 2 home runs in his Pirates debut.
Dana
It's got to feel good. All for baseball and individual.
Kyle
It's an. It's the most team oriented individual sport in the history of the world.
Dana
If you think about every real
Jerry
action
Dana
in baseball is individual relying on someone to catch a standard.
Kyle
It's an individual pitcher gets an individual hitter, but that hitter only gets. He gets one ninth of the at bats. Every. Every single batter has the same amount of. So like it's. It's the most individual sport inside the most team sport.
Rico
It is.
Dana
That's why I feel like it would be hard to truly feel the interconnected team spirit that is required in big games.
Kyle
So I think that's. I think the opposite is true. No matter. You can be the best player in the world and if you bet third and I bat fifth, I still have to hold up my end of the bargain or we're gonna. We're gonna. It's like basketball. You could get 25 shots, I could get no shots. We're both going to get four bats.
Dana
But it's more of the mindset in the air of I'm doing this for my team.
Kyle
Yeah.
Dana
So I have to step up.
Kyle
Well, sacrif, you know, if I get a single, you need to move me over to second base. You know, if I'm a pitcher And I give up a ground ball. You need to field it and throw it to the first baseman who needs to do his job. Like, I think it's. I think it's a very team driven spirit. It's not like the teamness of hockey where we all fight for each other. Right. But it's more. More than. Yeah, like a basketball player can take over a game a baseball player has to be a part of. I'm just.
Brandon
No, you're good. You're doing well.
Kyle
Yeah.
Dana
Yeah.
Jerry
Should we answer Chase question about redwood trees?
Kyle
Yes, please.
Brandon
Let's guess what the question's about.
Kyle
Yeah. Okay.
Jerry
You're not gonna.
TJ
Okay.
Kyle
Would you.
Dana
Is it about.
Kyle
Would you be scared of a tree house in a redwood?
Jerry
No. Okay.
Brandon
What wood makes the best chair?
Jerry
You're not even gonna be.
Dana
This is about redwood trees? Is it about.
Jerry
It's about a redwood tree and a bird.
Kyle
What? Well, okay, if you're.
Brandon
If you heard. Is a redwood the best tree to live in?
Jerry
Nope.
Kyle
If you're. What?
Jerry
Let me just tell you.
Kyle
Would you be scared to nest in a redwood tree?
Brandon
Yeah. Is it too high even for a bird?
Jerry
If there is an afterlife, would you rather be a giant redwood tree or
Brandon
a bird of your choice? Reincarnation. Give me the living thing.
Dana
Give me the one that can.
Kyle
Well, they're both living.
Dana
Yeah, but like not anonymous. Move around the one that.
Kyle
What if being a tree rocks?
Brandon
You want to be stuck st. I'm talking to the wrong person, Kyle. You'd want to be stagnant for hundreds of years?
Dana
No, I think this is just hanging
Kyle
out with the other tree buddies in the woods.
Brandon
What if you're planning next? Somebody you can't stand?
Dana
I think the better hypothetical would be like a redwood tree or like a. A pin worm.
Brandon
Yeah, that's. That's the closer one.
Chase
With a bird.
Kyle
You are.
Dana
I'd rather be a bird of your. I'd rather be a bird than some of you guys.
Kyle
Well, let's. Yeah, let's establish your choice of bird. What? What? What. What bird are you choosing?
Brandon
Your peregrine's falcon or Danny Conrad.
Dana
There we go.
Brandon
Let's go around the office. Tj, Put up the pole.
TJ
Peregrine falcons are sick.
Jerry
They're fucking sick.
Kyle
Yeah.
TJ
Che. What would the pros be of being a tree? Any tree.
Chase
You're out of the food cycle.
Kyle
Like you are. No. You can get killed. By you. You can get a. You can get. Get fucked up.
Brandon
You'd be a tree next to mints.
Chase
Yeah, but. Hundred years, theoretically, a bird could Be someone's prey or be attacked or whatever.
Kyle
You could get chopped down.
Brandon
But it's a bird. It's a bird of your choice.
Chase
A tree is. I'm envisioning like a protected forest.
Brandon
Like, you're good.
Kyle
So you're thinking the best possible tree. Average bird. Bird of your choice.
Chase
Bird of your choice.
Brandon
So, Che, if you were reincarnated as an animal, would you want to be in a zoo?
Chase
Depends.
Kyle
On what?
Jerry
What kind of animal?
Chase
Like, do I need all the space?
Brandon
Zebra.
Kyle
That's a great animal to ask.
Chase
Center of attention.
Brandon
They're not this.
Kyle
I don't think there's ever a zoo where the zebra is a center of attention in.
Chase
It's in its own exhibit. It's a center of attention.
Kyle
Well, yeah.
Chase
The only thing zebras always.
Kyle
No, zebras never have their own exhibit.
Brandon
No, they're always in there with like a. They're always in there with something else.
Kyle
They're always in there with something else.
Dana
They're in there with antelope and zebras are wallpaper. Yeah.
Brandon
Savannah exhibit.
Kyle
Yeah. They're in the big open field.
Brandon
Granted, they're necessary for zoos.
Kyle
Yeah.
Chase
I mean, they're pretty. It's not like zebras should at a zoo. And I'm pretty sure do always have enough room.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
I don't think they need too much. So you'd want to be as you'd be a zebra in a zoo rather than on the savannah.
Kyle
It's not a terrible life. No. No. This one over here thinks. Thinks duck exhibits are the way to go.
Brandon
No, I've never ever once said that.
Jerry
Oh, boy.
TJ
God damn it.
Brandon
I mean, actually, you're putting up a pretty good fight.
Dana
Danny, you got.
Kyle
Danny, you're up against the best bird.
Brandon
Danny, you're kind of popping.
Jerry
Yeah.
Dana
Like a baseball batter.
Kyle
That's a hell of a bird, though. That's a top five bird.
Brandon
200 miles an hour in a free in a nosedive. That's crazy.
TJ
We're doing top five birds. No way is peregrine falcon making it,
Kyle
I think the fastest bird in the world. The fastest animal in the world.
TJ
Gray African macaw.
Kyle
Who is putting a gray African McDonald.
Dana
Imagine being a macaw. But you're gray, right.
Kyle
Why would you want to be?
Brandon
Danny, it's owl, eagle, falcon. Those are the. The three.
TJ
Yeah, I was up there.
Kyle
Let's.
Brandon
659. Let's do them all.
Kyle
Yeah.
Dana
I got nothing left to say.
Rico
Yeah.
Dana
Talk about baseball.
Kyle
There were so many seagulls.
Rico
Yes.
Brandon
Let's do every single one.
Chase
Hear Me out. Hear me out. I think if you get to pick your choice of bird. You know what? What I do not think is a bad option. That I think everyone's gonna think sucks.
Kyle
This gonna say pigeon.
Jerry
Pigeon.
Kyle
I knew I could tell the way he was pursing his lips all day. You get to on people. You just get to have people food right around you just don't fly around eating trash and walking around people's feet.
Brandon
And people hate humans.
Chase
But it's like it's. It's. It's edible.
TJ
But imagine any bird that's like native to the streets like that.
Kyle
Yeah. You're putting yourself in a city. You could be a bird out in the woods and never see a person.
Brandon
You could soar the skies. You could go off waterfalls. Pigeons eat crumbs and homeless corpse.
Dana
You can wake up and be like, I'm gonna fly to Heidi Klum's house
Chase
and look in our window.
Jerry
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah. I'm gonna go. Oh, I would peep my ass off if I was a bird.
Dana
Being a bird with a human brain would be.
Brandon
I'd be perched on Sweeney's balcony 247 and she'd love it.
Kyle
Saweeties.
Brandon
See on sweet on saweeties.
Jerry
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah, dude.
Dana
Yeah.
Jerry
Yeah. That's a good point.
Brandon
Oh my God. Make that tier list. I'd rather bird or Danny and choose.
Kyle
We'd rather be with your brain. The human brain.
Brandon
I would rather be that now.
Dana
Oh, yes.
Brandon
But imagine being a tree with your brain. They'll be torture.
Kyle
Probably boring. Yeah.
Dana
Yeah.
Chase
Get the sun every day.
Brandon
So could a bird.
Kyle
But a bird bird you're gonna. What's best case scenario? You live five years, live 10 years. Tree could last hundreds of years.
Brandon
But like, what's. That's not living.
Chase
Oxygen quality is probably gonna be really good.
Brandon
Okay.
TJ
Being a three is like being a vegetable.
Kyle
If you're in the. If you're in the woods with being
Dana
a bird right now would be so sick.
Brandon
My God.
Dana
I would go fly to the Florida Keys myself. Literally fly. Take a dump on Macon, Georgia.
Jerry
Yeah.
Brandon
On making.
Rico
Yeah.
Dana
Make sure and then go to the Keys.
TJ
Ch. You'd wish to be a pigeon and you just be right outside of the.
Kyle
This
Dana
the worst option for bird.
Chase
No. You got friends.
Kyle
So do other birds. An owl in. In Alaska.
Brandon
Pigeon is one of those animals where, like I could see you torture and kill and I'd forgive you pretty quickly.
Chase
There's certainly the. You know, if Mike Tyson snatches you up and you know he loved pigeons or. Right.
TJ
That's probably Best case scenario for a
Chase
pigeon, rip that pigeon's head off. But you're. I think you guys are underestimating the loneliness factor. Like, if you're a tree in the forest, you're surrounded by other trees. If you're one of these great birds, you're on your own most the time. Birds have bird buddies, at least travel.
TJ
They migrate together.
Kyle
There's a lot of birds that travel.
Brandon
And the perks of being a tree is like a bird. You get to live in that tree. Tree.
Kyle
It's true. You basically have the perks of being.
Rico
Yes.
Dana
Rather be a tree.
Chase
But yeah, the life cycle is.
Kyle
He did say redwood. Correct.
Chase
I assume that's the best giant.
Brandon
You're right. You're. It's the best tree.
Kyle
That's a.
TJ
Is it.
Kyle
I'll be goddamn. Stephen. Goddess. That was. That was. That was good. I enjoyed that.
Jerry
Boys, I'm sorry.
Rico
I gotta head out.
Kyle
You know what? Go to your meeting.
Dana
Your meeting.
Kyle
What did y' all read for Roebuck?
TJ
Rob?
Kyle
See Dana, Ari, Blue Diamond Growers, Blue Diamond Almonds and more are the flavorful nut mix. Mixed nuts, level almonds, cashews and pistachios, and three signature blue diamond flavors. Honey roasted smokehouse roasted sea salt. Freshness guaranteed. 5 grams of protein per serving. Other mixed nuts are stale, bland. They can't match Blue Diamonds flavor and freshness upgrade to the flavorful nutmeg, Blue diamond almonds and more. And in basketball, the great players don't just go it alone. They have teammates, coaches, and a solid support system behind them. It's kind of like insurance, because, let's face it, a lot of us probably aren't great at doing that alone either. And that's where State Farm comes in. State Farm is a teammate, always ready to assist, help you find the coverage you need and help you recover from the unexpected. From fender benders to storm damage, even. Just a question about your policy, State Farm is there to help, provide and assist when you need it.

State Farm with the assist. Imagine just being at Wrigley right now, the wind blowing through your hair, beer flowing through your beers.
Brandon
Oh, my God.
TJ
How's the pole doing, tj?
Brandon
I didn't know we could just go. I guess, because.
Unidentified Female
60, 40 falcon.
Kyle
Wow. Danny coming back.
Brandon
You're the man.
TJ
New way of getting humbled, Dan.
Kyle
If you get 40 against a bald eagle maybe.
Brandon
No, peregrine falcon's better than baldi.
Kyle
What are you doing? Okay. All right. Don't be crazy. Paragon falcon is a top tier bird.
TJ
Can we see a picture?
Brandon
Danny?
TJ
Green real.
Kyle
Have you ever seen it when it. When it. When they zoom in on it as it's going down to kill people?
TJ
Very familiar with these critters.
Kyle
They're the fastest out 240 miles an hour. Oh, Danny, they're the fastest thing.
Dana
Why is that?
TJ
Oh, I thought that was one of you.
Kyle
Do the image. Do the image of 240 miles an hour. Do the image search of when. Like a.
Brandon
And it's only beating there.
Kyle
Look at that. Look at that diving ass bird right there.
TJ
All right.
Brandon
This should be like one of the better days of your life.
Jerry
Life.
Kyle
You're. You're doing. You're putting 40% up against.
Dana
Putting up 40.
Kyle
You're putting up 40 against the fastest animal in the world.
TJ
Hey, mom, I didn't lose that bad bird.
Brandon
God, slightly under half the people that watch this show would rather be me than a bird.
TJ
At least they know my name, though.
Rico
Mom.
Kyle
If I were up against a paragon falcon, I'd settle for 25%, Mike.
Brandon
I think that would be a win.
Kyle
Yeah.
Dana
Yeah.
Kyle
I'd settle for 20. And you got 40.
Brandon
And this is.
Kyle
They're complaining.
Brandon
This is me finding out. Your absolutely popping.
Kyle
Yeah, you're the fucking man.
Dana
40%.
TJ
All right, guys. Really turned my. My mind around on this one. Thank you to everyone who voted.
Brandon
Would you rather be like White Sox Dave or a robin?
Kyle
I think being White Sox Dave is probably pretty fucking awesome.
Brandon
I think so too.
Dana
I honestly do. Yeah.
Kyle
Yeah. I think being around White Sox Dave can be taxing and trying sometimes, but being White Sox day, like being Mincy,
Brandon
being Mincy, that's the best life on earth, right?
Kyle
So. So, like, being around Mincy sucks. Being Mincey has to be fucking every
Brandon
second of his life is bliss.
Kyle
Yeah. And being White Sox Dave, you're right. All the time. You're the fucking. You scored 30 touchdowns in junior high. You're the fucking man.
Brandon
Fuck.
TJ
Yeah.
Chase
Your clothes smell and you're aware he doesn't care.
Kyle
Yeah, it doesn't matter to him. What would be your bird matchup, Nick? It's you or you against an Icelandic snow owl.
Brandon
No, no, I think it's probably like an emu.
Kyle
You against an emu?
Brandon
Yeah.
Dana
Could be good.
Kyle
You're routing an emu, though.
Rico
I don't know.
Kyle
I. I think you're rallying it.
Brandon
Ostrich Would be close. Could be fun. It'll be fun to run fast.
Kyle
Yeah. Kyle, obviously you're against a penguin.
Brandon
I agree. Macaroni.
Kyle
Yeah. You're against the Penguins. 1.
Unidentified Female
Kate just had a list of all of our player comps. All of our animal or player comps.
Brandon
Kate did that.
Kyle
Somebody.
Unidentified Female
Somebody sent it to us.
Kyle
We don't listen to Kate.
Brandon
Read it out loud.
Dana
I didn't know that.
Kyle
T. What do you think? Oh, she hadn't been here the whole time.
Brandon
No, I think she's here.
Dana
Where's Kate?
Brandon
Did she make it to the beach?
Kyle
I hope so. She did. She did?
Rico
Yeah.
Kyle
Nice.
TJ
I'm curious how that flight went.
Kyle
Well, it looked like they got. I mean his two check marks were four hours leave for the airport and two hours be at the gate, so.
TJ
But she was not sitting next to her kids.
Kyle
Kids sitted.
TJ
Seated.
Kyle
Okay, come on. That was a point. That's a point for the falcon.
Brandon
Brandon, can we watch you cry?
Kyle
No, I don't want to watch that. It was. I don't know but I. I want to feel because I like I it. A tear legitimately came out like it wasn't. It wasn't even like a. Like a haha. I'm gonna act sentimental.
Jerry
It was like.
Kyle
It got me. It got me real good. I don't know if they clipped it so pinned on.
Unidentified Female
On mousey sports words.
TJ
How often do you cry?
Unidentified Female
We don't want to watch it.
Kyle
Not very often.
Brandon
Amazing.
Kyle
Not very often.
TJ
Do you guys cry all the time?
Kyle
I'm gonna say three times a year I cry.
Brandon
I've been trying to put myself intentionally into cry situations. I was watching adopted boys get their first birthday cakes.
Kyle
That's good. Yeah.
Rico
Yeah.
Brandon
That really got me.
Kyle
I. I have a good country music cry night once every six.
TJ
What are we throwing on?
Kyle
Oh, I'll throw just anything. Any old sad country. Just a sad country almost started. Just play one sad country song, put it on the radio and let it go to wherever it goes.
Brandon
I watched a old country music video of Travis Tritt.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
Walking up to this chick was trying. This really hot blonde gave her a
Kyle
quarter and told her to call someone who cares.
Jerry
Yeah.
Brandon
He was the man.
Kyle
He was the fucking man.
Brandon
It's the coolest. I think a guy. A white boy's ever been me and my.
Kyle
Me and my friend Bradley Barton is going to the Masters with me. One of our things we do to each other is just every now and then will randomly send an image of Travis straight album cover from the 90s because he. His Album covers were just close up pictures of him old country out looking like the fucking man.
Brandon
Were very poorly designed. But they do have a strong branding mullet earring. Yeah.
Kyle
Like the. The entire. Usually maybe a blue jean vest like it was.
Brandon
But Travis Tritt's biggest song is look
Kyle
at, look at Travis. Look at Travis Trent just being Travis Stretch.
Brandon
There's no bird.
Kyle
That's all his album Trip. That's all his album covers are just pictures of him looking fucking sweet.
Brandon
What's the.
Kyle
What's.
Dana
What's.
Brandon
What's his biggest hit?
Kyle
Oh, Great Day To Be Alive.
Brandon
Probably did the lyric about him not shaving but then maybe shaving into a Fu Manchu.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
Bother you. It kind of contradicts itself.
Kyle
No, I guess you're right. I never thought about that. I. I always thought that day that he described didn't sound all that great.
Brandon
But I think that's the point.
Kyle
He had rice cooking in the microwave.
Rico
Right.
Brandon
But still, it's a great day to be alive.
Kyle
Okay. All right. Well, it just seemed like he was set. He set out to tell me what a great day it is when really I guess the. I'll be goddamn. The lesson was every day is a great day to be alive.
Brandon
You want to try to do the trit day with me?
Kyle
Well, you got to have rice cooking in the microwave.
Brandon
Well, Fu Manchu.
Dana
I know this song. Yeah. Oh, what a song.
Kyle
I need to see the lyrics. I'm having trouble stopping my brain. No, that's a great song. Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave and it's a goofy thing I just got to say hey, I'm doing all right I think I'll make me some homemade soup I'm feeling pretty good and this isn't a hard day to do.
Dana
This is describing like a bucket list type of day.
Kyle
No, it's just. I think it sets out looking like it's going to and then it's just Talking about a normal day. There's some hard times in the neighborhood, but why can't every day be just this good? It's been 15 years since I left home Said good luck to every seed I'd sown There really ain't much to
Brandon
this day, his day. He didn't do shit.
Kyle
He didn't do a goddamn thing.
Brandon
That lazy motherfucker.
Kyle
You know, the Tim McGraw day is harder. They're riding a bull named but he's
Brandon
living like he dies.
Kyle
That's living like you were dying. This is just. This is just a regular day.
Unidentified Female
Both mention Fu Manchu they sure do.
Brandon
Both different types.
Kyle
Yep. What? Well, the other one named the bull name Fu Manchu.
Brandon
You broke teach.
Kyle
And he says I might go get me a new tattoo. Do I might take my old Harley for a three day cruise.
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon
He's just sitting on his ass.
Kyle
Soup and rice.
Dana
He ain't doing soup and rice.
TJ
I love the country songs that are just so country.
Kyle
Yeah. You name the babies, I'll name the dog.
Brandon
Which one is that? What's that?
Dana
Danny, which one is that?
Kyle
That's certainly never been a song out
Brandon
there with the crickets and the frogs.
TJ
I worked at a country bar for like flake.
Dana
Sh.
Kyle
That's an actual sauce.
Jerry
Yeah.
TJ
And then what's the other one? Well, I took some pills and she took the dogs.
Kyle
Yeah. Oh, it's all gone down. Do you just remember the songs about dogs?
Rico
About the dogs.
TJ
She's gone to her mom.
Brandon
Brad Paisley. I'm going to miss her.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
One for the boys.
Kyle
Tommy Walker's favorite song of all time.
Jerry
Really?
Kyle
Not a letter. He knew how to. He knew how to sing that song when he was four years old.
TJ
Who was first? Nitty Gritty or Garth Brown Brooks?
Kyle
Nitty Gritty.
TJ
Nitty Gritty.
Kyle
Yeah. That was like. That song came out like 87.
Brandon
Wow.
TJ
I'd work at this bar and every. There'd be a live band every day of the weekend. And even on the jukebox, you could only get country music. I got Stockholm syndrome. But everyone would close with.
Brandon
Did you start to like it, though?
TJ
Yeah, a little bit.
Kyle
Every.
TJ
Every band would close with. What's the Garth Brooks.
Kyle
I got Low friends in Low Place.
Rico
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dana
Who was the. Who was the first or the one in your era? The country star who was more for the women. Like, we had Luke Bryan and Sam Hunt, who were heartthrobs.
TJ
Thomas.
Brandon
Billy Ray.
Kyle
Well, even further. Billy Ray's a good one, but even further than that. I was. One of my earliest memories of my grandmother was her playing Conway Twitty.
Brandon
He was for the ladies, for the hoes.
Kyle
For the hoes. Conway.
Brandon
Conway Twitty.
Kyle
Conway Twitty was for the man.
Brandon
There's no way.
Kyle
The old sex appeal, the old back in the 60s and 70s and 80s love. Conway.
Brandon
Wait, you said your mama.
Kyle
My great grandmother, who was still alive when I was a kid, would have Conway Twitty on all the time because
TJ
she was like, good looking.
Brandon
Or did they just have.
Kyle
No, no, they just had to sing. They had to sing lyrics to make a woman feel good looking.
TJ
Was he good looking?
Kyle
I Don't know.
Brandon
I just know from family guy.
Rico
Yeah.
Kyle
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Conway Twitty. It's always so good. Yeah. One of the songs was I want to lay you down or something.
TJ
Really?
Kyle
Yeah. All of his lyrics would be like. Like, hey, I want to.
Jerry
You.
Kyle
But he would come up with ways to say it that I didn't know
Brandon
Conway was a dog.
Kyle
Like, yeah, I want to lay you down. I want to. I want to. I don't know. But he was. He was a dog.
TJ
Doggy style.
Dana
Has the country s ever went global?
Kyle
Garth is global, right? I don't think Garth is global. Garth can go. Garth sold out Ireland like a week straight.
Brandon
That's not global. Has. Has a country. Has Toby Keith ever done China or Tokyo?
Kyle
No, I. Garth could. Garth global.
Brandon
You think Garth could do Tokyo?
Kyle
Garth could do any city in this world.
Brandon
Garth Brooks sold out.
Kyle
Garth could do Rio. Garth could do Tokyo. Garth could do Sydney. Garth could do any country.
TJ
I don't know.
Brandon
Because Even I think McGraw is bigger than Garth.
TJ
Yeah, even like the bands.
Kyle
You're out of your mind. There ain't no way McGraw's not getting a million people in central park.
TJ
But even the bands like Florida, Georgia line, they transcend country. You'll see them on the top 40 and stuff.
Kyle
But so did Garth. Garth did at the time. Garth is the biggest thing that ever hit country music, guys.
TJ
I know. I'm really saying, like, was he also.
Brandon
You're the. You're the expert here. I'm willing to bend.
Kyle
Garth could do any. Any city in any country in the world.
Brandon
Sell it out.
Dana
I wouldn't have known.
Kyle
Yeah, I think he could. And I know, like, Ireland, like had to make. Had to change laws because when he
Dana
came there, you're right. The Internet saying Garth Brooks has huge international live draws, notably Ireland, but overall reach is heavily u. S. Centric. They're also saying Shania Twain.
Kyle
Really?
Brandon
Oh, yeah.
Dana
Massive success in Europe, Asia and Australia. Australia makes sense.
Kyle
Yeah. Yeah. Australia is almost cheating.
Brandon
Well, they have country stars.
Kyle
Yeah.
Dana
Yeah.
Kyle

Brandon
Go for it.
Kyle
How many ads we got left?
Brandon
Fat stack of papers.
Kyle
I've just got one left.

Brandon
Oh, your fancy baseball team?
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
Oh, you invited me to be in that league.
Kyle
I did, but then we filled up on spots. We had more homies from back home do it, and I wasn't able to get any barstool people other than Jeff, DLO and Ebo and Clemmer. And Mintz is mint in it. And tj.
Brandon
Yeah, and tj.
Kyle
And Aaron from upstairs.
Brandon
Aaron, too?
Kyle
Yeah. Don't ask me which one she is, but she is upstairs, okay? I promise you. Aaron's upstairs? Yeah.
Brandon
Okay.
Kyle
Correct.
Unidentified Female
Yes.
Kyle
And Catherine as well. She's also up there.

You got to be me.
Kyle
Catherine's in it.
Brandon
That's.
TJ
That's.
Brandon
You've gone too far.
Kyle
And Hinkle. Hinkle's in it.
Brandon
Now you're with me.
Kyle
Yeah. And Liz Gonzalez is in it.
Rico
Just one.
Kyle
Gonzalez is in it. Yeah. Blackjack. Fletcher.
Brandon
Danny, what would Hinkle say if Brandon asked him to be in his fantasy league? And again, this is not for the viewers. This is just for me.
TJ
I'm really happy you invited me to be part of your league, but I have to tell you, I might not be paying much attention to it.
Dana
Yeah, that was good. So that was good.
Kyle
Not only do you do the inflection, but does every sentence he ever say require a but?
TJ
Oh, it's all terms and agreements.
Dana
Constant caveat.
Kyle
Yeah,
Brandon
Just maybe so the people at home can understand your impression. Should we spy cam him real quick?
TJ
Oh, he's not gonna talk, but yeah.
Brandon
You don't think.
TJ
Love to.
Dana
No.
TJ
I mean, I sit next to him all day. That's. That's how I hear.
Unidentified Female
I think he's often watching.
Dana
Oh, is he?
TJ
Okay, I like your imitation of me, but I don't think I say sure many times.
Dana
Yeah, I'll give you that.
Brandon
Yes.
TJ
No, that's a big one.
Brandon
Yes, but.
TJ
Sorry, Matt.
Kyle
Danny, do you have one of everybody in the office?
TJ
No, I'm not good at impress.
Kyle
Yes, you are.
TJ
But, like, if you. If you.
Brandon
I stole White Sox, Dave. From your.
Rico
You.
TJ
They're all, like, C minus. They don't sound like.
Kyle
I think that's all it needs to be, though.
TJ
Except for. Except for Stitch. I could do Stitch.
Jerry
Ho.
Brandon
Yeah, we don't work with Stitch.
Kyle
I mean, there's guys out there that
Brandon
would be so sick.
Kyle
I made a career. I'll see. Minus impressions.
TJ
True.
Dana
You drop them casually. You're not like, oh, look, at this impression.
Brandon
Right.
Dana
Right. Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah.
TJ
I'm not like or anything.
Kyle
Like.
Dana
Yeah, I would.
Rico
I would hate.
Brandon
That would be very.
Jerry
For.
Dana
Yeah.
TJ
Can't just bring it up for no reason.
Brandon
Peregrine Falcon just took the biggest.
TJ
Why don't more people who are good at impressions become like singers? You see like a comedian who perfectly
Dana
mim sing this amazing song like that.
TJ
Yes.
Kyle
It's a good question.
Brandon
When people are good at impressions, they just say the stuff that person would say.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
I want to hear what that person wouldn't say.
Dana
That's my thing.
Brandon
Yeah.
Dana
When I it from a. Yeah. Comedically make them say something off the wall.
Kyle
Right.
Dana
That would be funny.
Brandon
But now, like, with AI did you do the Colin Coward thing yet?
Kyle
No.
Brandon
He uploaded his just, I guess, consciousness to Fox Sports and you can just ask AI Colin anything and he'll give you a response.
Kyle
You can ask k AI Colin Coward anything.
Dana
Anything based on data that like he. He. He said based on sports.
Kyle
Or can I ask him how to decorate, I guess my second patio.
Unidentified Female
So this is something that like Jerry came into this studio and pitched this show on doing like four, three years ago.
Brandon
He did remember selling.
Dana
Yeah.
Unidentified Female
What if barstool sold their license or their. Their library to AI to create like back ends? And that would be what? That would be the same thing. You would have an AI branding or an AI big cat that you could talk to. I don't think it's a good idea.
Brandon
You don't? Or do I feel like that's going
Unidentified Female
to cause more issues than solve problems.
Brandon
Well, we'll just do podcasts for us. You can make it that people could
Kyle
hear, but you can make it say anything.
Brandon
Yeah.
Jerry
Yeah.
Brandon
But I think Colin Fox Sports app
Kyle
launches AI version of Colin Coward and
Brandon
I think it's like open format
Matt
the past 10 or 11 months.
Kyle
Why is this?
Matt
I have been working. This is him with really smart people in our tech department at Fox and we developed something. We. We took a couple of years of all of my shows a poor app and we downloaded all my shows. It's called Sports AI and you can find. Just launched on the Fox Sports app. So speed it up right there. And they have downloaded every show of mine for the last two years. So it has my cadence. I think stylistically it sounded like me when I first heard that. Really raw. When I first heard it 10 months ago. I thought it was the craziest thing I've ever heard in my. Could ask it questions. It gives amazing answers, much like this show does. And so you get the Facts. You get the opinions. Just go to the app. Ask me anything you want about sports or. And you'll get me or the AI version of me. So to give you a little bit of an example of how it works,
TJ
again, give away your job, give away
Matt
your life, and it's on the Fox.
TJ
Why would they need them anymore?
Matt
You can download the app. I. I think you'll get a good.
Brandon
I think TBOB had him resolving some pretty political issues.
Kyle
Really?
Brandon
Yeah.
Dana
Yeah.
Kyle
That's the thing that people don't know about T. Bobby. Super political behind the scenes.
Brandon
That's right.
Kyle
Yeah.
Unidentified Female
That's not what Jerry peaked or pitched. I was. I didn't realize.
Brandon
What did Jerry pitch?
Unidentified Female
Jerry pitched like, so you could do like, make Brandon dance. And then they would have source image from the yak. That that's how they would know what Brandon looks like. So that's how the AI would like, learn what Brandon looks like.
Dana
Like.
Kyle
Okay.
Unidentified Female
Or like make a podcaster dance. And the source imagery would look sort of.
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon
Ambiguously.
Unidentified Female
Like Brandon.
Kyle
I could make you. I give you a choice. You can be the best impressionist in the world or the best dancer.
Brandon
Dancer.
Kyle
Best impressionist in the world. Are 75th. You'd be top 10,000 dancer.
Brandon
Dancer.
Kyle
Best impressionist in the world. Top 2 million dancer.
Brandon
Impressionist. That's my line.
Kyle
Dancing is a. Is a skill.
Brandon
I mean, top 2 million dancers probably still pretty good.
Kyle
Really good fucking dancer.
Dana
Yeah. But like, where. Where are you, Cat? You can't casually do that.
Kyle
I think you. But I think you can find. If you find yourself in a situation where dancing is required and you can fucking rip it. You're the man.
Dana
The only situation is a performance of you dancing, dancing.
Brandon
No wedding. A bar.
Kyle
If you just break out sick dance moves at a wedding and nobody's expecting it, you're. You're the.
TJ
Yeah. You're gonna be naturally dancing more than you are naturally doing impressions. So I think dancing will come in handy more.
Brandon
Would you rather be a very passable singer or an amazing impressionist?
Kyle
Passable singer. Yes.
Dana
Passable impressionist.
Kyle
You go. Amazing impressionist. Passable singer can get you that. That's going to open a lot of doors too.
Brandon
I would rather be good at just doing all accents than impressions.
Kyle
Very good at impressions or very, very good at drawing
Dana
impressions?
Brandon
Impressions.
Kyle
Okay.
Brandon
Impressions.
Kyle
All right. Yeah.
Brandon
What's the final poll? Danny v. Bird.
Rico
Oh, God.
Unidentified Female
53%. You're making gain.
Kyle
Do you win or do you lose?
Unidentified Female
He lost by 3%, Danny.
Brandon
Take that.
Kyle
That's. That's a That's a coin flip against a peregrine.
Brandon
I would be skipping out of here.
TJ
Thank you to everyone who voted. I got a lot to think about. No, I appreciate it. I still don't think peregrine falcon is the top five bird.
Kyle
You need to learn about the paragraph.
Brandon
Yeah, that's pretty silly of you.
Kyle
You need to learn about the great horned owl.
TJ
Even the.
Kyle
A peregrine falcon is walking the dog on any owl. I mean, the owls are great and cool. A peregrine falcon is the best falcon and it's the fastest animal on earth.
TJ
That's cheating, though, Flying when it's soaring down.
Kyle
No, no, no, that's not.
Brandon
Then why doesn't every bird do it? Danny.
Kyle
Right?
TJ
You drop a cheetah from an airplane,
Brandon
this is not going 250.
Kyle
This. This isn't merely going at the speed of being dropped. This is turning yourself into a missile. It's a missile.
TJ
Listen, I'm grateful, All right?
Brandon
Imagine going into a rabbit at 250 miles an hour.
Unidentified Female
Power.
Brandon
I mean, imagine being one of the best feelings.
TJ
Free will, Thumbs.
Brandon
Yeah, thumbs are cool, but you'd have to be.
Kyle
Danny.
Brandon
Yeah.
TJ
They made the right choice. I'm not complaining.

TJ

TJ
Give me his number.
Kyle
Are you in the Tommy group? Church? I don't think I am. Because you get. You would get.
TJ

TJ

Kyle

TJ
He's on spring break, right?
Kyle
He is.
Jerry
All right.
Kyle

Kyle

Brandon

Kyle

Dana

Brandon

Kyle
Yeah, but why didn't he just say that?
TJ
He would have voted me.
Kyle
Why didn't he just say I got to go United Center.
Unidentified Female

Rico

This episode of The Yak brings the usual chaos and locker-room banter, with Dana (“Dana Beers”) prepping for his big upcoming college lecture, Rico Bosco on edge about a massive 10-year salary bet hinging on Alabama’s NCAA tournament run, and the crew riffing on everything from revenge to office politics, animal hypotheticals, and the glorious, questionable value of being a top impressionist versus a dancer. Classic Yak: no topic is sacred, everything’s up for jokes, but underneath it all are legitimately funny insights on work, rivalry, and personal growth in Barstool life.
If you’ve never listened to The Yak, this episode is a perfect entry point: it’s the cast in full, riffing and roasting, but also revealing, in small doses, the real anxieties and successes behind Barstool’s carnival. You come for the laughter, but you end up actually caring about whether Dana will bomb on stage, if Rico’s bet will make him a target, and just how many more “Cheeses” you have to meet in real life.
