Trust no one and accuse everyone. And who's the bad guy? The official Barstool sports social deduction game. From the brilliant mind of Nick to Rainey. In what's quickly becoming the most popular new party game around, players are secretly assigned unique roles with the good guys trying to expose the bad guys and and the bad guys doing everything they can to stay hidden. Each game unfolds under alternating day and night phases with roles like the cool chick, the shy guy, the gambler, El presidente, the mentalist, the planner, the funny guy and more. Every round is unpredictable, chaotic and ridiculously fun. Who's the bad guy? Is great for parties, pre games, family gatherings or groups who just love deception based games. Game night will never be the same. Shop now on Walmart.com.

Nick
What's up guys? Kyle. Hello, my man.
Kate
Well done.
Kyle
You look cool in the White Sox hat.
Nick
What?
Kyle
You look cool.
Donnie
I just flipped it forward.
Nick
Do.
Donnie
Thank you.
Nick
Do dudes wear that? Because it looks like it says sex. I think that's why Smokes does it. Right. Because he loves sex.
Kyle
He would wear one that set like was ironic that said sex in the white socks.
Kate
But that.
Nick
Oh, looks like an E. Does a little bit.
Donnie
Yeah. I wear it because it's black.
Nick
Yeah.
Kyle
I feel like it's one of the more intimidating logos in sports. When I see it on a license plate here, I'm like this guy's an asshole.
Nick
Really? Yep.
Donnie
Because you associate with the like the region of Chicago heartbreak.
Kate
Right on Cuba. Here's White Sox day.
Nick
White Sox logo with assholes.
Kate
That was a great.
Gab
Why asshole?
Kyle
I say when I see a car license plate where like, you know the plate frame people have like the White Sox plate frame. My brain is just like, asshole.
Kate
Yeah.
Kyle
In an endearing way.
Nick
I don't think they're White Sox fans. I think it's the only way to get an all black plate. Right.
Gab
Kate, I. I have family from your area, your neck of the woods. The south side is so similar to Del.
Kyle
I know. I Did I tell you, we just bought. We have this guy. We went to a game two summers ago, and the salespeople, they're desperate.
Gab
Oh, yeah.
Donnie
It's tough.
Gab
I know.
Kyle
So this guy was sending us care packages, birthday cards, because we went to one game and we were in the nosebleeds and I felt I was like, this guy's got to make a living. So we bought a 10, 10 games packet for this year. Cuz it's so empty. It's great. If you have young kids here, they just crawl around the seats at the top. Nobody's around. It's fantastic.
Donnie
Crawl around the stadium. This is the White Sox.
Nick
The Chicago White Sox.
Kyle
Yes. I'm telling you
Kate
as a jungle gym for a stadium, basically.
Kyle
But. But like, it really, like, I've been to Wrigley, I've been to White Sox, and I'm like, oh, we're a White Sox family. That's for us. 10 game ticket. You got a whole section to yourself. The kids can climb around.
Nick
How many of the ten have you gone to?
Kyle
None yet. But I got. Already got tickets to Pope at night for sure.
Nick
Going, oh, I'm really jealous for that.
Kyle
But we're going to pick and choose based off the fun items they give out in the beginning, probably which games we go to. Where am I going with this? Long story short, yes, I find something comfortable. I feel more comfortable there than I. I love Wrigley. Wrigley's really cool and it is special when you go, you're like, this is magic. This is awesome. But I do feel like, ah, you can really let loose down at the.
Gab
I feel like that's a very fair descriptor.
Kate
Yeah.
Nick
Wow.
Kyle
You guys say that in a loving. I say that in a loving way. But yeah, we embrace that, though.
Gab
It's like Philly, like I said.
Kyle
Yeah. When I see the license plate, I'm like, but I don't mean it in a. Like, I'm like, totally. Yeah. If that makes any sense.
Kate
And we also don't want you a Wrigley, so we're everybody.
Kyle
I know, I know.
Donnie
Stay away.
Kyle
Yeah.
Donnie
So they. Are they one of the worst performing franchises in ticket sales?
Gab
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kyle
There's, like, bars around that are like, hey, if you just come to brunch here, we'll take you to the game and get you a ticket for free. Like, there's like, that's how cheap.
Nick
How are they on Twitter followers? They have over a million Twitter followers.
Gab
I think they have a million on the dot. They were one of the last.
Nick
Pirates don't have a million yet, but
Kyle
to me, those are some of the best. Like, when the Mets super, super sucked. When I lived in New York, I loved going to Mets games because the fans have kind of given up. So they're not even mean. They're just like, hey, we're outside eating hot dogs.
Gab
Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
Kyle
There's a good vibe.
Kate
It sucks.
Nick
If you're a baseball fan.
Gab
Yes.
Kyle
My kids are climbing past you on your feet and. Yeah, no, that's probably fun. When I went to an A's game, I. It was the same vibe. I was like, this is amazing.
Gab
I was gonna say, I thought they dipped under when there was, like, a bot purge.
Nick
Is that a.
Kate
This could be a huge season. That logo, it gets a million.
Nick
That almost looks Reichy.
Gab
It does look Reiki. It looks a little Reiki.
Nick
Like, maybe this is black and red.
Kate
Yeah, white. Red.
Kyle
Yeah.
Gab
In the 80s, they did. They had red in their uniforms.
Nick
On an armband.
Kyle
Ste. Reich.
Nick
Oh, 3rd St. Yeah, that's pretty good.
Kate
Kate.
Nick
Wait, that was.
Kate
Wait, no, that's a good baseball Nazi joke.
Kyle
Thank you.
Nick
I'm trying to think of one. I'm trying to think of one.
Kate
Really?
Kyle
Jay, you gotten any 911 ones?
Connor Griffin
That was worse seeing it again later, but.
Nick
Oh, you rewatched.
Gab
Yeah, I had to walk away, Stephen. I. I know I am probably the least eloquent speaker at the office, and I even had to do a shirt tug on that one.
Nick
Wow.
Connor Griffin
It was tough.
Nick
Are you bad in awkward situations?
Gab
I would say yeah. I don't know. At this point, I don't. I don't give a. Enough. If whatever they think they think.
Kate
Like, help me understand why you thought that the. The culture joke was crossing a line, but the 911 joke was fine. Why. Why you thought, like, so a joke about. Like, just make it a joke that was, frankly, at our expense. Like, that was the culture. The Culture joke was like, we have a lot of white guys at work here. Am I right?
Connor Griffin
Yeah.
Kate
Like we're the. Or the punchline. And you said that one is. Is over the line.
Connor Griffin
Well, I didn't want to discourt. Like, you don't know who's in the audience. So clients that are buying stuff, bars, I don't know if people are buying it for what shows or whatnot. So I didn't want to devalue our product to be like, hey, you're only going to hit these demos if you work with us. That's obviously a joke. So I didn't want to do that part. The 911 thing, I mean, who's not making 911 jokes?
Kate
That made it so much funnier because the way you set it up where you're like, guys, I have a really risky joke and I don't know if I should say it. And then you told us what it was. I was like, oh, my God. So what you're going to say in front of them is going to be just the. The most vanilla ever.
Donnie
That's what I assumed. Yeah.
Kate
I thought it was going to be most vanilla joke. And you open up with J.
Donnie
That was great.
Kate
And your delivery is unbelievable.
Connor Griffin
Thank you.
Kate
Like, when you're the Chicago Fire, thousands of people died.
Nick
Yeah.
Kate
Killed thousands.
Nick
I think, like, just having the balls to do it is the biggest hurdle. Like che, you have 90% of what you need.
Connor Griffin
Thank you. Thank you. Yeah.
Kate
Just need the joke.
Connor Griffin
Just need jokes.
Kate
Last 10%.
Kyle
You're built for the jokes. You just need.
Kate
You just need the.
Nick
And you were put on the spot and I think we saw the best case scenario.
Connor Griffin
Yeah. I think it went way better than last year. So.
Nick
Yeah. Yeah. I, I text Wong to come in. Weird night for you.
Stu
Oh, yeah. I. I had a good run, but I'm just getting. Just non stop.
Nick
Yeah, you're toast. You're done.
Donnie
You're toast.
Nick
You stopped a. A boy that you've taken under your wing from ass play. Yeah.
Stu
People are like, dude, you're not letting him get his shine. I. I don't know. Is that shine?
Gab
No, I honestly plug. If I had unlimited money. I was not even unlimited money. I was thinking of texting and be
Ike
like, don't do it.
Gab
I will pay your debt that follows you for.
Kate
Oh, you were a voice of reason, Donnie.
Stu
No, I mean, I.
Nick
And then he never told him not
Stu
to do the butt plug. I just, I fired out a tweet without really thinking about it. I guess it came off a little conti.
Gab
Just because I don't think so.
Stu
But I was just trying to point out the absurdity of the situation of, like, you know, Rico Bosco. I was sure he was looking forward to a week in Vegas. Like, he's gone and now this far in the week, we got this guy Goldfinger there who. I mean, the context is Goldfinger. Since January, he's been on something called a pip, which is like a performance improvement plan, because he's made multiple mistakes. Like, not just on my shows, on other shows. And when you're on a pip, you make one more mistake, you're fired. And he made that mistake last week. And, like, I've been making sure no one makes any drastic decisions, and then this thing comes up and he's sent out. I want him to have that opportunity. The whole thing with Una went down.
Donnie
Yeah.
Nick
Dave told him to go, but then.
Stu
Yeah. And I thought that was good. We got some content out of that. Kelly Keegs him out, and then the whole crew wanted him to stay. So I'm like, all right, this must be good content. And then another day passes and, like, the only content I'm seeing is people just ridiculing him in the comments, being like, oh, you can't speak. Is this kid. Is he autistic? And then the whole blood plug thing comes up. So if that is, like, he was getting his shine, I don't know, it just.
Nick
I think it came from a place of compassion. From you?
Stu
Yeah. Like, I'm trying to help him when he's in a really tough spot with the production.
Donnie
It's also fair to be frustrated with him, I would imagine.
Stu
I mean, this spring break thing, I'm not frustrated. Like, nothing that he does in Vegas can, like, affect his job or anything. So I'm not frustrated with the Vegas stuff. Like, it's all issues unrelated to Vegas.
Nick
But he also doesn't have any desire to be content. So I don't know if he wants to be the butt plug guy. I think he might. He would probably regret that.
Kate
Yeah.
Stu
Yeah. I mean, I think he was like.
Nick
But now you're.
Stu
I think he was very excited to go out there and actually be in some content. And he probably looks up to a lot of those people. So if they're all like, stay, stay, of course he's going to stay. It just. It got to the point I don't know if he was really helping himself.
Donnie
Yeah. He absolutely could not have inserted a butt plug in his. Like, he just couldn't. Like, I know. I could see why people Outside of the company would want him to do that.
Stu
And I don't know if this is true. What I heard is that his dad called Jacob and was like, can you. Jacob, can you tell him not to do that?
Nick
That's the last call a dad wants to make.
Gab
Yeah.
Nick
I mean, Kate, you have a boy son.
Kyle
I said to him before the show. I was like. I was. I was about to like, DM him and be like, I know I'm not your mom or whatever, but, like, time out. I was. I was like, kind of panicking.
Kate
Yeah.
Gab
I'm kind of. Kind of glad we're all on the same page with this. I thought I was going to be the lame one here.
Kate
No.
Donnie
And, like, it's nothing against him.
Kate
He's a. I don't. Well, I'm.
Donnie
Yeah, I'm doing too wasted.
Nick
Yeah, he got drunk and he's. He's.
Kyle
If I was 24 and you were like, staying like, thank go, God, and
Nick
off camera, I would do that for way less.
Kyle
Yes, totally. I've got one.
Nick
It's meant for pleasure, but I don't
Gab
know, your dad would probably encourage it.
Nick
Yeah.
Kate
Yeah.
Nick
This was your grandfather's. And this forest is it.
Stu
So what's the reasoning behind a butt plug? Does it feel like, great on your prostate?
Nick
No, it feels incredible. And just having some that feel feeling of somebody just having that complete control over.
Kate
I've heard similar.
Stu
I'm kind of intrigued now. I would do it on camera, but.
Kyle
And when you have one, you get one with the horse tail on it. And you. You, when you have your hooves on you, feel like the whole thing's complete.
Kate
There's. There's a pretty good chance he comes in his pants.
Nick
I think so.
Kate
It's like at dinner, right?
Nick
Because it just, like presses that button.
Kate
Yeah. Pushes the come button.
Nick
Yeah.
Donnie
It'd be funny if he turned into, like a confrontational on it, like just bullying everyone.
Nick
He's, like, speaking coherently.
Donnie
Ah, set him to what?
Nick
A flaw in the man that our cum buttons in the ass.
Kate
Yeah.
Kyle
Yeah.
Nick
Or.
Donnie
Yeah.
Kate
Or maybe it's.
Nick
It's kind of like the. The magic mouse.
Kate
Maybe God was trying to tell us something the whole time. We're just not listening. We're just defying God by having heterosexual
Nick
sex and the perfect shape to reach it as a pen. That's all in the master plan, man. No, Donnie, I think it'll pass, obviously. And every.
Stu
Yeah. I mean, to be fair, my tweet was not the reason he left. He hadn't even seen it. And Then I asked him, I reached out. I was like, dude, did my tweet have anything to do with this? And I don't know. He claims it was because he saw Una was back home in North Carolina.
Nick
Yeah. He's going through some. I don't think he was in the state to puts anything in his ass.
Kate
No butt plugger otherwise.
Nick
Yeah. Right, Right. But, yeah, maybe we're all lame and old.
Kyle
Yeah. Maybe the younger generation's thing is. But they don't drink. They just.
Nick
We just. Just ask.
Kyle
Play.
Stu
Yeah. I mean, 8k in credit card debt at his age. I. It is.
Nick
It's scary.
Stu
A bit of an issue. I'm sure that would have been nice to get paid off.
Gab
He should just drop his Venmo. I'm sure he probably make a lot of money on it at this point.
Stu
I'll make up for that tweet by just tweeting out his demo. I'll donate 100 bucks.
Nick
I just think it got misconstrued and that. Just like the fans of the. The Shore House are rabid.
Kyle
Yeah.
Nick
And that's. I guess that's a success.
Stu
Yeah. Goldfinger has an army, but it's like, where was this army, like, while he was doing content and everyone was just on him in the comments.
Gab
Yeah.
Stu
Where were you guys then?
Gab
Is that the most you've ever gotten? Because I saw it this morning. It was pretty relentless.
Stu
Yeah. I don't know. I mean, it's like wor.
Donnie
What you think it is.
Kyle
It's actually worse than that.
Stu
Yeah.
Kate
You have a high approval rating, Donnie.
Gab
Yeah. Yeah.
Nick
But it just takes one thing.
Kate
Yeah.
Kyle
Yeah.
Stu
I think it's good for everyone through experience at least once.
Nick
And if that's what you go down for.
Kyle
Yeah.
Stu
Yeah.
Gab
You.
Kate
I used to think you were a likable guy, Donnie, but when you stopped the 24 year old from shoving a butt plug up his ass and crossed a line.
Stu
Yeah.
Donnie
Yeah. Reality tv, it does make people rabid.
Nick
Yeah.
Donnie
It makes them lose the nature of it. Like, they don't. They're not humanizing these people. They want them to be animals.
Stu
Yeah.
Donnie
Like, when I watch it. Yeah. I want the worst case scenario for the cast.
Nick
Mm.
Stu
And there are some people at this company that get a lot of shit. And I'm honestly very impressed with how they handle it. At least. Like, it looks like they're handling it well. And it's like, I don't know if I would handle it as well as they do.
Nick
It's tough sometimes. Especially, like, if you get like a mean DM and it's like exactly what you're self conscious about and believe it.
Stu
It's just like, oh, yeah, that's the worst. When the hate has like a kernel of trut. That's when it hits.
Kate
Some of the.
Donnie
The boys are very observant.
Nick
Kudos to them, chef.
Kate
You get a ton of hate. How do you handle it?
Ike
Just try not to let it get to you. But clearly it does.
Nick
If there is a kernel of truth, I will try to change myself, but try non stop.
Stu
Who.
Ike
Who are you referring to specifically? I'm.
Nick
Walked in late Wonton got himself into a pickle.
Stu
Yeah, the. The spring break fans are very upset and blaming me for the reason that Goldfinger went home.
Ike
Why did you tell him to get out of there?
Stu
No, I didn't. I just like, pointed out the absurdity of the situation and what was going on. I do regret saying I mentioned that he has, like, loads of work to do back here. We. We like, had already found someone to cover that. So I like, regret saying that that was just me being a cunt.
Nick
And maybe like, we're hypocritical because, like, have we ever done ass stuff, you and me? We did.
Kate
We did.
Nick
On the doing the most.
Ike
Yeah, we did ask play, but we
Kate
sent Donnie into the bathroom to show Chase ass hair.
Nick
That's true.
Donnie
Yeah.
Ike
I've done ass stuff, I guess.
Nick
Oh, my God, you guys did. Maybe we're jealous that we didn't have Goldfinger to do that too.
Ike
I've never had to do it for my. Never got to do it for money.
Reed
Right.
Ike
Love of the game.
Reed
Just.
Nick
We'll paycheck.
Ike
Right.
Nick
Again, earning a paycheck.
Kate
No. We could get Dana by the end of the show to shove a butt player.
Nick
I think it would take like one text.
Kate
Yeah.
Nick
And a.
Kate
Please tell them it's worth 100 points.
Nick
Yeah, there it is.
Stu
And if Brie was still offering 30k, I'd be like, yeah, Sam, you should just do this.
Ike
Yeah, she offered 30k.
Nick
No, she offered 30k to. To Nick Nikki Smokes.
Reed
Damn.
Ike
That's kind of nuts for the butt plug. She did.
Nick
Yeah.
Stu
Yeah. For something that, like, some men actually enjoy.
Kate
So it's like Smokes didn't do it.
Nick
No, I don't think so.
Kate
Wow.
Gab
He can't have one person on this earth thinking that he has done anything gay whatsoever.
Nick
But if it's not a penis, how's it not. How's it going? Yeah, that's a genderless butt plug.
Kate
You're a woman. Is giving you a Sex toy. And that's fair that she wants to put up her ass? That seems pretty straight.
Gab
That's very fair.
Donnie
I. I agree.
Kyle
I think if you painted the anal beads like little basketballs or something, then it would be, dude, yeah, let's make them sports balls.
Nick
Yeah, It's a draw.
Kate
Beer on the side.
Kyle
Yeah.
Nick
It's got the Broncos logo on it.
Kate
Football logo. I mean, I love bumper stickers.
Nick
I love butt plug.
Ike
I. I argue butt chugging is gayer than that. And we've had some guys do that.
Nick
Yeah, yeah, we have. Do you think that's gayer?
Ike
I think. Is it. Something's going more. It's fully.
Gab
I think that's just more boys being boys.
Nick
Yeah, well, jackass, because you're not getting pleasure.
Kyle
Gay men aren't butt chugging.
Kate
Yeah, right.
Donnie
Actually, gay dudes are drinking, like normally.
Kyle
Yeah.
Ike
Yeah.
Donnie
Straight.
Kate
Yeah.
Ike
But it's more the tube going up your ass.
Nick
I don't know how far the tube has to go.
Ike
I would assume deep.
Kate
Why would you assume that? Just.
Ike
I don't know. That's the first assumption.
Donnie
With it, I would assume it just needs to just.
Nick
Just break the threshold. Yeah.
Ike
Touch the lips a little bit and then it sucks it in.
Nick
Probably you have.
Ike
Dude, they say that the. Your bottle has more taste buds than your tongue.
Nick
No, they don't.
Kate
Yes, they do. Why are you saying taste?
Stu
Donnie, you'll be come up on that.
Kate
Are you sure it's not nerve endings?
Donnie
Nerve endings? Taste buds.
Ike
I swear. I heard taste buds. Someone look this up.
Kate
If it was taste buds, you would just be tasting constantly.
Ike
No, it doesn't.
Kate
It doesn't work every time you poop. You would be like, wow, that tastes like. So wait, it's a good.
Gab
Don't taste on your.
Kate
I don't know.
Ike
I haven't. I. I just heard this.
Stu
Oh, okay. So it doesn't have taste buds, but it contains taste receptors.
Ike
Okay, what does that mean?
Stu
Function of anal receptors. The taste receptors found in the anus and lower tract are ectopic, meaning they are outside the usual taste system. They act as chemo sensors to help your body monitor nutrient content.
Kate
So not even metabolism. That's not taste.
Gab
All right, but he's directionally correct.
Stu
They can taste.
Nick
That would be the worst. The second worst sense for my to have. I think taste smell would be. The smell would an. That could smell.
Gab
What if you had two eyeballs?
Nick
An ass that could see? That would suck.
Ike
Yeah, just be dark most of the day.
Nick
Most. When would your see?
Ike
In the morning when I get My sunlight. I did that. And. Well, when I had a patio.
Nick
You.
Ike
You would. Would you actually try it once? Yeah, you gotta try everything once.
Nick
Wait, Sunning. Sunning.
Stu
The gooch.
Ike
Perennial. Sunning. Perennial.
Stu
Oh, yeah.
Ike
Apparently it's got tons of benefits. You know, if anyone's telling me you get healthier by doing something, I'll try it once. It's like the mat, which I still
Nick
use, but, like, was your patio.
Ike
It was in Harlem.
Nick
What does that mean?
Kate
Wait, how could you just, like, bend
Gab
at the waist and, like, pull your cheeks apart and like.
Nick
I think you'd lay on his.
Gab
There's the sun.
Nick
Yeah.
Ike
No, I was in a lounge chair with a little mirror.
Nick
Oh. Direct the sunlight. You had a little. You had a taint mirror.
Kyle
You had a prison magnifying glass.
Ike
I stole from the dentist a little time.
Nick
You stole from your dentist?
Gab
I need this for my.
Nick
Did you actually steal from your dentist?
Ike
You can buy them online.
Nick
Okay.
Ike
Jay knows. Jay has a couple sets of dental equipment.
Nick
Jay, do you.
Gab
Wait, Jay, don't you have, like, sets of dental.
Ike
You have dental equipment at home, right?
Stu
Water floss, Shepherd's hook.
Donnie
You have a shepherd's hook?
Connor Griffin
Yeah.
Donnie
That's that thing that scrapes?
Connor Griffin
Yeah.
Donnie
I've always wondered why they don't tell us to just have that ourselves.
Nick
Scrape your own enamel off, though.
Connor Griffin
I mean, I usually to get some food or something if it's quick instead of like, if I do a whole floss routine at night. If it's like after lunch or something, just go get it real quick.
Ike
That's the worst part of the dentist.
Reed
I don't think anyone will openly.
Connor Griffin
Oh, I like it.
Ike
The scraping. I don't know.
Nick
I don't like the sound. I love flossing.
Connor Griffin
It feels so good when you're done.
Kate
Yeah.
Connor Griffin
Like you got a whole new mouth.
Gab
Shay, you like the dentist?
Connor Griffin
Love it.
Gab
I. I'm on your side. I actually enjoy cleaning every six months myself.
Connor Griffin
I'm on the four month plan, brother.
Gab
Oh, wow. Three times a year.
Connor Griffin
Yeah.
Nick
Spotless. But that's because of. Is that because of your. Your eating habits? You don't.
Ike
Because it's so acidic?
Nick
No.
Stu
What causes cancer too?
Nick
Michael Douglas.
Ike
Not true.
Gab
I actually heard that.
Stu
Throat cancer.
Gab
Yeah.
Nick
Do you have a concern of that, Steve?
Connor Griffin
Die doing what you love.
Nick
That's true. That's true. All right, so what.
Donnie
What did we miss? We got Connor Griffin.
Nick
Oh, yeah? What's going on with your boy?
Kate
I don't. He went to a. He went on a date with Rochelle. Nothing seems to have happened And I'm left wildly unsatisfied. But if that is, in fact, a conclusion to this story arc, if that is in fact, all Connor Griffin has to offer is what we've seen so far. So I have to believe there's more to it. But also, it seems plausible to me that he talked this big game, backed himself into a corner, realized his two choices are to a porn star publicly, which he doesn't really want to do, or be a guy who's seen as like, a. A coward who couldn't stand step up in the moment. I don't think you're a coward.
Nick
You don't want to. A porn star publicly.
Gab
I don't think so.
Kate
I don't think so either. But the problem is, is that he's. He's. He should have just said that. He should have just nipped in the bud when, like, it popped up. He should have been like, I don't want to do that, and then just left it at that. But then he's, like, kind of teasing everybody. And, like, he was body. He's kind of like, yeah, I'll go to Vegas. We'll see what happens. I don't know. And, like, he gets on the plane and he's, like, very coy about everything. And that's the problem, is that if he would have just said, I'd have been like, okay, I respect your decision. But then he. He wants. He wants the validation of. From all of us for thinking he's going to do it. So we're all, like, locked in on it. But then he got out there, I think, and he's like, what do I do now? What's my play now?
Nick
Are you mad at him?
Kate
No, I'm. I'm mad at him from a content perspective because this is. If this is all he has, I. I think he's got something else up his sleeve. I think he's been. He's been cooking on something. I don't even know if it's Rochelle related.
Nick
He's got this meek that filmed this. Yes, I. I know his work. I see him in the reflection of the cheek. Should make that his profile picture.
Donnie
Yeah, his profile.
Gab
I got a question. Is that real?
Nick
There's no way, right?
Gab
Well, I have no idea. I can't pick out a fake ass.
Stu
I'm not. I. I can pick out when someone's clearly fake because, Zata, please, a girl will have really thin legs. And then it's just like a diaper. Like, I think that's what they call it. Diaper butt or I will say certain
Kyle
pants can shape you into.
Nick
But that. That was.
Kyle
I mean, those. Those are pants. Yes. That was fantastic.
Tate
And Nick, I'd have to. I'd have feel, but.
Nick
Okay.
Donnie
Okay, you'd have to feel.
Nick
Next flight out.
Kate
Yeah, there you go.
Stu
I've been 100 out on BBLS once I learned that there's a smell to them.
Nick
Wait, they have a smell?
Stu
Yeah. After you get your bbl, there can be a lingering smell. So your butt just has like a butt smell?
Nick
I guess that's a. A find.
Stu
I don't know what.
Nick
Pretty dangerous procedure. Your ass might stink.
Kate
Your. It.
Nick
It is dangerous though, right?
Stu
Oh, yeah. Very Kanye West.
Ike
They can explode.
Nick
Yelling, I thought she died.
Gab
Lipo some cosmetics.
Stu
A bbl.
Nick
Damn.
Stu
She passed away. I mean, I do think Mintz getting a BBL would just be incredible content and he would look like a more normal person.
Kate
Yeah, he needs like.
Stu
It wouldn't be like, oh, my God, who's this freak with a bbl? I'd be like, you look somewhat normal.
Nick
He'd be hot if he got. Yeah, he'd be really good looking.
Donnie
I think, like, businesses are using fat asses as like, their sole means of promotion.
Nick
Like what? Businesses, like restaurants, they're using fat asses.
Donnie
They're not even trying to hide the fact that they're like, they're filming a girl with a fat ass and they're just locking in on the ass. I know you're promote, like their.
Ike
It's mostly pizza restaurant.
Kyle
Well, that's because that's where the taste buds are.
Nick
Oh, yeah.
Kyle
It's the ass.
Nick
You're gonna love our.
Kyle
Your ass is gonna love this pizza.
Ike
That'll be a fun restaurant, tasty menu for your ass.
Nick
Would it.
Ike
In some places? I don't know.
Nick
I guess. No, it's just not for me.
Ike
But who is that girl Connor Griffin was shooting hoops with?
Kate
Cat. That's Catherine.
Ike
That's a different girl.
Kate
That's just Catherine.
Ike
Okay.
Kate
This is Catherine.
Kyle
You can call her Calf Catherine.
Kate
I don't. I don't know. It's like Dante's friend, but I think she lives here and she's sucked every man.
Nick
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Kate
That's what they were saying yesterday.
Nick
Dante's friend that lives here, Chef.
Ike
No, no, no, no, no.
Nick
Okay.
Ike
It's not. I didn't.
Kate
Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Ike
Yeah. That's not though.
Kyle
What?
Ike
No, his.
Nick
The gay sticker girl.
Kate
Yeah. Remember when. Remember when Donnie photoshopped that sticker of Remember how he, like, made the sticker, which, like, took, like, hours?
Nick
He went to Adobe, erased Dante's shirt.
Kate
Yeah.
Ike
It's a very simple process.
Kate
And made the sticker that says I'm gay, and then sent it to the
Nick
girl, and then she was like, you never take me out. And he said, what time? What time are you coming out?
Kate
Yeah.
Ike
All right. Yeah, that was an old episode. We can go. You guys can go back and watch that if you want, but that's.
Kyle
Oh, I don't recall.
Ike
Yeah, it's fine.
Kyle
Okay.
Donnie
You think a pot, like, a part of Connor Griffin's plan was just to, like, showcase his, like, romantic stature? Like, because, you know, he kind of did put on, like, a. Yeah, like a cool swap.
Kate
He was kind of killing it.
Donnie
Yeah, he did well conversationally.
Kate
Right. Tate did text. We have a side group chat with the mostly sports people. We just left Connor out of it. And Tate's in it. He told us that Connor was complaining to the restaurant that he was given a dull knife because he couldn't cut a steak. He was trying to cut a steak, and it wouldn't cut.
Nick
Oh, no.
Kate
No one else at the restaurant was having a problem with their knife or their steak, but Connor just got the one dole knife.
Nick
Default.
Donnie
The defection of my knife.
Nick
You're on a day with a porn star. You can't cut your st.
Kate
She cut it for him. She cuts it into little pieces. Oh, no.
Donnie
Do you think he was waiting for more of an opening from her? Like, hey, do you want to come back to my place?
Kate
I don't.
Kyle
She.
Kate
She. If you. If. Gab. If you could pull up the goodbye, like, she. She's trying to kiss him. Kind of like the goodbye.
Gab
Oh, yeah.
Donnie
That was more of like this.
Kate
Watch this.
Nick
Oh, oh. Oh, yeah.
Kate
She is.
Ike
She.
Kate
Does she. I mean.
Stu
Oh, yeah.
Kate
She's trying to. At least you got at least right.
Ike
You can at least catch.
Kate
Yeah.
Kyle
Look, her hands all over.
Kate
And I don't. Again, I'm not telling them how to live his life, but he did kind of create his own prison.
Connor Griffin
The wor. The worst part about this video is that Connor's taking home leftovers.
Nick
I was just the leftovers bag.
Kate
Pre cut. He, like, before you box this up, could you cut it into.
Stu
Take it in the back?
Nick
Did he explain himself on the recap show? I missed it.
Kate
I don't know. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't watch. I have no idea.
Gab
Do you think that she would have him do porn stars just for sport? Like, Random guys.
Kate
I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.
Stu
I don't enjoy having sex with fans. Like, they. They will seek that out.
Donnie
Probably not as homogeneous as you think they're.
Ike
But it's like, do you work on your day off? Like, if you were.
Nick
You know, you podcast when you get home. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stu
But no, a lot of them are in long, kind of actually steady relationships.
Kate
Yeah, I kind of do. Just.
Nick
Just without a mic.
Donnie
Yeah.
Nick
Let's talk. Yeah. Well, Kyle, you. You brought up just Johnny Sins jerk off.
Donnie
Yeah.
Nick
There's just no way.
Gab
There's no way, right?
Donnie
No, I think it's. It's one of those things where the more you do it, the more you need to do it. Maybe like an addiction.
Gab
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Donnie
Any substance.
Kyle
Like, does Dale Earnhardt speed but, like, on his way to the grocery store.
Donnie
Would.
Nick
Would Rochelle Connor, the way she. On camera.
Kate
Great question. You could compartmentalize and like, the work is the work.
Nick
This is different because I'd imagine a lot of the things aren't convenient or fun. It's just visually appealing. Very appealing.
Kate
Yeah. I don't. I don't know. I want more from Connor and I. I don't necessarily want him to. No, the porn star. But, like, just the way he got out there was in my. From where I'm sitting was a little mysterious. He was a little coy about, like, the delays, about the baggage. About, like, left at 10:30. He left, like, way later. We found flights that were from Chicago to Vegas that were leaving sooner than that. That he did. Like, when you missed your first flight, you could have got on these three flights. You didn't get on any of these. You got on the last one. Like, why is that? Just a lot of questions. And can I give you. And I want to trust. I want to trust him because he is a guy who will do this. He will. He will, like, kind of have something cooking. And then voila. This was what I had planned the whole time. So, like, hopefully there is a big reveal at some point, but if this is in fact where it ends, then that's a little bit of a dud.
Nick
Can I give you a theory? I'd imagine Rochelle's very busy, and I think she does want to sleep with Connor. Maybe she was like, this is when I'm free. It's right, you know, a couple hours after you land. Oh, did he get cold feet and intentionally miss his flight? Oh, and not take a sooner one.
Donnie
We had a window of time.
Nick
A fuck window. Yeah.
Kyle
That would be kind of perfect.
Connor Griffin
Since we've gone live, there's a clip posted from the recap show, and Connor recaps his date with her shoulder.
Kate
Okay, let's.
Nick
I would like to see Connor.
Gab
She was right. You had a bit of a date last night.
Kate
A lot of good things about girl.
Gab
Was that like a fantasy type of situation? How would you characterize that?
Reed
I don't. I don't think it was a fantasy type of situation. I just think it was two friends grabbing a dinner, having a nice time. And, I mean, Rochelle's great. Rochelle's an awesome.
Gab
Oh, she seems like a peach.
Reed
Yeah, she is. Absolutely. And it was great to have Tate there. It was great to have Reed there. We had a nice, nice little dinner. I mean, take it back me up. The dinner was spectacular. The place that Rochelle had picked out was like, we should go here. Worked out great, and it was a fun two hours, two and a half hours together.
Gab
Do you feel like you're getting pressured to have some type of relationship maybe that you're not ready for with her?
Reed
I mean, yeah, I'd say 100%, but, yeah. I knew coming out here, I was like, yeah, you know, we can hang out. But I knew that, yeah, there. There was not going to be much further than that. I mean, I still think it was fun. I still think hopefully people enjoyed it, but I don't see anything else. Also, I'm also pretty sure that she would be totally fine hanging out with other people on this cast and potentially exploring those options. I don't know. I think she might be around today. We'll see.
Gab
Who are you talking about?
Reed
I. We were here in the building in kic. She just loves kic. And.
Stu
And.
Reed
And
Ike
you gotta tell.
Reed
You gotta tell.
Gab
Completely naked. Yeah.
Kyle
Rubbing her nipples. She was rubbing her nipples on FaceTime can confirm.
Connor Griffin
Exactly.
Gab
How'd that make you feel, Katie?
Kate
Gotta see her naked.
Kyle
Not enough to jerk off.
Nick
The most absurd things. Here
Kyle
he was humping, literally humping the floor, being like, Ms. Rochelle, Ms. Rochelle. What should I do in the middle of Hakasan Roan? I was mortified.
Stu
It'd be great if she gave me some pointers. I mean, she's been around.
Gab
Yeah, professionally.
Kyle
Yeah, professionally.
Kate
All right. Yeah. I don't know. There it is. I mean, that was boring. As if we're being honest. That was my point is, like, my whole point. And it's driving me crazy. And at some point, I have to just look in the mirror and be like, I have to stop expecting stuff. Connor Griffin, the man. I know. Good, bad, or otherwise, when you put a camera in front of him and you're like, hey, man, this is content. He's like, oh, it's. He turns into date Mike.
Reed
Yes.
Kate
He's like, oh, oh.
Reed
But he.
Kate
Everything, whether you like it or not, like, he's going to try to, like, rise to the moment and deliver like some bang out content.
Reed
Right.
Nick
He has.
Kate
No pun intended. But like, he's. Right now he's just kind of like, yeah, we went to dinner.
Nick
And that's what makes me so on edge, because I think he has the best foresight in the company. He plans. He plans right. Well, very far in advance. So I don't know what this is.
Kate
I have no idea. And I'm. And I'm frustrated.
Donnie
And this is not me pressuring him to have sex with. It's not about sex.
Kate
No, no.
Donnie
This is getting a little bit weird.
Reed
Like.
Gab
Yes.
Donnie
Like rooting for your colleagues to fornicate for theater.
Nick
Right.
Donnie
And I don't think I'd be satisfied with that. I. I want him to do something funny.
Kate
Right.
Kyle
Yeah.
Kate
Or like, I want. Yeah. I don't. I don't know. He. He also.
Donnie
I mean. Yeah, yeah, it would be. It would be.
Kate
It would be.
Donnie
I think. Yeah. I guess I do want him to her.
Kate
Yeah.
Ike
Is he staying tonight?
Nick
I think so.
Ike
He's got another chance.
Nick
I think a lot of people are tapping out though, right. We lost Izzy yesterday. That's when I stopped.
Connor Griffin
I was like, I'm done with this show.
Donnie
Yeah.
Kate
Once we lost Izzy, Catherine's out. It's like, what's the.
Kyle
The.
Nick
Oh.
Kyle
But now Reed's been unleash and Meek's done.
Nick
Oh, Meek, done what?
Stu
I thought. I thought he was just subbed in with Mikey, Bets, and Reed.
Kate
Yeah. Feel like we're limping to the finish line here.
Stu
Oh, what's a big. How can they end this in style?
Kate
I don't know.
Stu
Head to the tunnels underneath Las Vegas.
Ike
That would be.
Gab
Yeah. Is that the most viewed YouTube video in Barcelona history?
Nick
I think so.
Ike
100.
Nick
You and Bibs?
Stu
Oh, yeah. I was with Chef Donnie.
Ike
I shot that shot that I filmed.
Stu
Donnie filmed that. And we almost got shot because as we're walking out of the tunnels, you can't see shit. And Donnie just got his camera up and he accidentally filmed these two guys that were down the tunnels trying to score crack. And one of them reached for his gun and started pulling it out. We didn't even know this happened at the time. And we walk out of the tunnel and our guide was like, dude, dude, like, that guy, like, was almost gonna shoot you.
Ike
He almost got shot.
Nick
Is that your most. The closest near death experience you've both had?
Stu
I mean, you do a lot of dumb.
Nick
Oh, yeah. You jump out of planes.
Ike
Yeah. But as far as near death, that's as close I've been to getting shot.
Stu
I'd say mine was probably alcohol poisoning. In College, I had a.406, I think, which is like 50% of people die. Yeah. Yeah, that was. That was not good.
Kyle
What was the occasion?
Stu
I had a waterproof cell phone. It was like the first waterproof cell phone.
Donnie
Say no more.
Nick
You gotta celebrate that.
Stu
Invented this drinking game where you drop your cell phone into the drink and then someone calls it and you have to chug it before it goes to the answering machine. And everyone was like, that's the coolest thing I've ever seen. Do it again. Do it again. And this was probably at, like, noon. And then kept on doing it and then, like, started with beers and then was doing it with mixed drinks, and then went to a pre game and then another pre game, and then we went to our, like, winter bash, which was like a big dance. And on the way there, I think I just passed out in the middle of the street. Woke up in the hospital. I felt fine in the hospital, though, because I think they had probably drunk
Gab
you full of all the.
Stu
Yeah, yeah. But when the nurse was taken out the iv, though, she completely it up, and I just started squirting blood all over my pants. So I had this big, like, blood splotch on my khakis.
Kate
You were doing all this in khakis? It was a formal rager. It was a formal event.
Stu
I think I had, like, that's cargo behavior.
Titus
Yes.
Stu
And then when I finally got back to my house, all my roommates were like, holy. Did you explode? What happened? Yes, blood all over my crotch. But no, that was. That was a dark time of my life because the doctor there was like. The only people I've seen, like, recover as fast as you have from this are, like, homeless people that get brought in off the streets that are drinking, like, a bottle of vodka a day.
Nick
So that's scary.
Stu
But no, I didn't die. I'm doing good. Probably took me a week to recover.
Ike
We could have died in Tajikistan A couple. Couple times.
Stu
There was an avalanche.
Ike
Avalanche. ISIS killed someone. Like, the week before we got there in the same spot we were. We were at. Remember that?
Stu
Yes. Yeah. Someone was riding a bike through Tajikistan.
Ike
Trampled by a horse. Could have easily happened yeah.
Stu
We had our guy Jamal protecting us.
Ike
We made that fake video with Kate. You remember you called in an airstrike on the Taliban for us, Right?
Kyle
You guys had me dressed up in camo and everything. I'm pretty sure.
Stu
What was that called? What was the movie? Me and Chef Donnie made a fake movie with our guy and we had Kate play the military.
Ike
That was so funny. We pull over on the side of the road to film that. We were filming a fake Taliban. Like you got captured by the Taliban and Kate saved our ass.
Stu
I feel like we need to find this.
Nick
Is that a scary thing to fake stand?
Ike
We were really thinking like that back in the day. Yeah, we weren't really thinking.
Kate
When's the last time you thought Donnie?
Donnie
Yeah.
Kate
When's the last time you. Before you made a decision like construct. I really need to stop and think about this. I need to weigh all of the. The pros and cons.
Ike
Oh, never. Well, next to never.
Gab
Don't laugh at him. I don't think I've ever that either.
Nick
Oh, like we're going to laugh.
Kate
You never. When you bought your house, like, you never. You didn't sit down and say, do I want to make an offer on this place? Of course you did. You wasn't.
Titus
It was.
Gab
I kind of just walked in and I'm like, yeah, I'll take it.
Ike
See, I'm the same way. I'm. I have a problem where I buy things online without doing any research, whether it's the right product or not. And I just have stacks of things that I didn't read the instructions fully and it was the wrong. Or like buying flights for the wrong date. Like, oh, I've done that. Yep. Yeah. So I never. To answer your question, mark.
Reed
Not.
Ike
Not often. There's no constructive reasoning. It's mostly fly by the seat of the pants.
Nick
It's working.
Reed
Yeah.
Ike
I don't. It's. You know, it works until it doesn't. And it works again.
Gab
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nick
Good mind.
Donnie
Way it goes.
Nick
We have to defend Sass.
Kyle
I know. Bar for bar.
Nick
Dude. Perfect.
Kyle
Yeah.
Nick
I'm Tyler. Who was it? Was it Tyler? Tony?
Gab
Of course.
Nick
I'm voting him my second least favorite member of Dude. Perfect.
Kate
Wow.
Donnie
After.
Ike
What'd they do?
Nick
They stole Sass's video. Completely complete ripoff. Complete ripoff. What? Five years later, thinking nobody would know. Oh, the. That's like the most viral video. We're talking about the most viral barstool videos. Is this an alternate angle?
Gab
No, this was the original.
Ike
That's crazy.
Kate
Yeah.
Nick
The call with his mom.
Gab
When I saw this, I thought it was like an odess ass. It was an actual rip off.
Kate
Yeah, rip off. Just note for note, do they have
Ike
the Dukes part where they say, how are you gonna pay rent?
Nick
No, I think they chose to cut that part.
Ike
That's the best part of the video is Duke's going, so how are you gonna pay rent?
Nick
So Sass was like, he broke down like a genius breakdown of that video. And I guess Duke said something stupid every single take. And that was the least stupid take. And he had to put it out because the draft was happening.
Donnie
How are you?
Ike
Hell yeah.
Nick
Oh, I miss him.
Donnie
Oh, yeah. So Sass's video was so good, but it worked for a reason. Tyler Toney. It doesn't work because he wants to get drafted and he actually thinks he might be able to even like overlaid real highlights of himself.
Kate
Right?
Ike
So it's not the same.
Stu
Have you guys seen the dude? Perfect hq.
Nick
Yeah, a little.
Stu
Little jealous. It's probably the only HQ that could
Nick
rival this perfect dude. I've been to some good HQs. The Stern Pinball HQ in Chicago is one of the best HQs I've ever been to. Solid HQ.
Ike
Bad agencies are good HQs.
Nick
They have good HQs.
Ike
Back in the day. I think ads have kind of. It's not like a fun house like it used to be.
Donnie
Yeah.
Ike
Oh, they found it.
Stu
That's kind of.
Nick
That's pretty beautiful.
Stu
It was gorgeous country. A very beautiful country. And then I forget Kate's cameo. I think it's towards the end where she calls in an airstrike.
Kyle
This is another thing. I like vaguely remember this, but don't. I'll be shocked to see. Whatever.
Stu
So I think the premise is that Jamal just saved me from the Taliban.
Nick
Who could this be?
Kyle
U.S. military.
Stu
My name is Wonton Don. I was kidnapped by the Taliban a week ago.
Kyle
Oh, Bomber, you know your exact coordinates. We could send somebody to help you.
Stu
A shepherd by the name of James Cook just saved me.
Kyle
Huh. Okay.
Nick
Are you doing an accent, Donnie?
Stu
I'm just trying to act scared. You will help save his sheep.
Kyle
Mean, we'll. We'll try, but I need to say this again more clearly, I guess. Where the are you?
Stu
He's driving me back to the embassy right now and he gave me clean water.
Donnie
You are doing it.
Ike
You're doing. You're acting like you're boring.
Gab
I've noticed this about Donnie. He does this to every culture and every language.
Ike
He'll.
Gab
He'll put on like a Chinese accent.
Stu
You'll be like, it's not Chinese accent.
Donnie
It's.
Gab
It's an accent.
Stu
And he'll be like, I speak, like, really slow when I'm talking to a foreigner. Because I'm just assuming that their English isn't great.
Gab
And it's always awesome.
Stu
And so, yeah, their English is usually fine.
Nick
Yeah.
Stu
And I just, like. I'm trying to make the words, like, easier to understand. So I'm like, you have. Do you know how. Yeah.
Gab
And it's like, yeah, man fears.
Stu
And they're like, yeah, sure, dude.
Gab
Every time.
Stu
No, that's a serious problem. I get called out for that constantly. I don't know. I just. Because I know when, like, a foreigner is like, if someone comes up to me and is speaking Spanish, like, I need them to go slow if I'm gonna comprehend any of that. So then I just do the same when I'm talking to foreigners. But, yeah, that's a problem I'm working on. I'll get it fixed.
Gab
I don't think you should. I think you should keep doing it. It's funny, okay. It's really funny because you do the same accent no matter what language you're speaking.
Nick
Is Donnie, the reason you have such a, like, obsession with travel now?
Gab
Definitely part of it, for sure. Because I never left and then country until the Dominican. I was 22. Yeah, right.
Kate
Oh, wow. Really? That was the. The. That was a great video, you guys.
Ike
I love.
Gab
That was some of the most fun I've ever had here.
Kate
That was the first time you left the country?
Gab
Yeah.
Kate
Now you have the bug. Like, where else have you gone? I mean, Turkey, obviously.
Nick
Turkey.
Gab
Twice. Austria, Switzerland, France, Germany. Belgium.
Reed
Damn.
Gab
Italy.
Kate
Wow.
Gab
Got a trip booked to Ireland.
Kyle
Panama.
Gab
Panama.
Stu
I've had the pleasure of taking you and Nick out of the country for the first time.
Nick
That's right, Nick. Just a Tijuana we walked into Tijuana. Yeah.
Stu
The birthplace.
Nick
Caesar salad.
Ike
Boom.
Nick
That was awesome.
Gab
I promised I wouldn't step foot in Canada until it was with KB and Windsor, but I don't think he's ever gonna.
Donnie
I put the finishing touches on my app.
Kate
Shut.
Gab
Did you?
Nick
Actually, no.
Donnie
Yes, Kyle. Yes, I did.
Nick
You've said it's been in the mail for the past, like, four years.
Gab
He lied to me. He lied to me about that.
Donnie
I did.
Nick
So either you're a felon. Felons can't get past.
Donnie
You'll have to wait for something to
Ike
come in the mail. Depends.
Stu
Oh, so now you're just waiting for your passport to arrive?
Nick
Have you taken the Photo.
Donnie
Oh, I filled out an application online.
Gab
Did you go to the interview or whatever?
Donnie
I didn't do any of that.
Gab
Okay, so what, you.
Ike
You've never left the country?
Kate
No.
Donnie
No.
Ike
There's no wrestling tournaments? You want to go see Greco Roman, Dagestan?
Donnie
Yeah, no, I. No, I do not want to do that. Yeah, I would want to leave. I do want to leave the country.
Ike
Badly not to see men.
Donnie
Actually, the best wrestling tournament, one of the best in the country, is happening right now in Las Vegas. What a glorified legend. Hit me up late at night asking if I was in Vegas.
Nick
Who?
Donnie
Dayton. Fix.
Reed
Holy.
Donnie
Yeah, he's the physical embodiment of amateur wrestling.
Nick
So when you saw a message bundle
Donnie
of dense combat muscle, what was your
Nick
reaction when you saw a message from.
Donnie
I was like, starstruck. Four time runner up.
Nick
I think. I think Brady's going home now, too. So there's a spot open at the Shorehouse or the Spring break house.
Gab
How long are they going to be out there?
Reed
Is he.
Kate
Three more weeks? I think indefinitely.
Nick
Well, Dante's staying another week. Right.
Kate
For Max.
Nick
Bachelor party.
Ike
Dante's coming out. He's gonna meet us at Max's bachelor party, which is next weekend.
Nick
So I don't know if he's just staying.
Ike
That's way too. I mean, that'd be impressive. He could stay.
Nick
That's the place for him.
Ike
Really.
Nick
Didn't have a residency there.
Stu
Yeah, he used to go at least
Gab
once a week, I feel like, regularly. Yeah.
Ike
That's crazy.
Nick
I mean, him reacting to Rochelle. Yeah.
Ike
We spent a week in Vegas and it was
Stu
soul sucking.
Nick
Yeah.
Stu
That's when, like, we were trying to do everything on a budget. We actually filmed a video. Las Vegas on a Shoestring Budget. We went and got 99 cent shrimp cocktail. But, yeah, that was a really depressing week. But then I went for Dana's fake bachelor party, which was like, all expenses paid. They flew us out first class and I was like, oh, Vegas isn't half bad.
Ike
My only experience in Vegas is the week with you where we stayed at, like the.
Nick
One of the Flamingo.
Ike
The Flamingo?
Stu
Yes.
Ike
And then we camped in the desert.
Stu
Yeah. For the Storm Area 51 raid, when everyone was going to.
Gab
They're going to like, Banzai Charge or whatever. Is that what it's called?
Stu
Rudo Run. They're all going to Naruto Run.
Gab
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ike
And no one did.
Gab
That's like the weapons thing, right?
Nick
Run with your arms behind your back.
Donnie
Back.
Stu
Yeah, yeah. No one did. We were. We were There. There were people there at like three in the morning and they're all singing songs like threatening to run. But then a bunch of people with guns being like, you're not gonna do.
Ike
Don't do it.
Stu
That's how I ended up on Ancient Aliens. And that's actually how I got doxed, how my real name and. And town came out.
Nick
They used your full name, right?
Stu
Yeah, Full name, full town. I. Because I was very intoxicated at the time. But when I watched the episode Waterproof, I was actually pretty coherent.
Kate
Khakis on.
Stu
But I tried to tell him my name was Wanton Don. They're like, if you want to be in the show, we're going to need a real name. Your real hometown. And I put being on Ancient Aliens over doxing myself.
Nick
Absolutely.
Donnie
For sure.
Kate
Worth it.
Stu
100.
Gab
Did that guy with the weird hair comment on anything you said?
Stu
No, he's usually not on site. They usually just probably record with him.
Nick
Is he still doing that bit with his hair up?
Gab
I think so. I'll watch Ancient Aliens when I'm perusing around on like a Saturday morning.
Ike
Yeah. How do they keep.
Gab
I think it's just reruns.
Stu
I love all the ufo. Yeah, it's been in the news.
Ike
What happened now the guy's dead.
Gab
It's getting weird. It's 11 now, right?
Ike
Multiply that by five and a half.
Kate
What?
Gab
Right.
Donnie
What is that?
Ike
The math is wrong. The math doesn't check out.
Kate
So multiply two by five.
Donnie
Yeah, that's 10.
Kate
Get 11. Yeah.
Nick
Plus one.
Reed
Just go. Yeah.
Nick
You're close. You're close enough. Can we see a. I love Dante. Dude.
Donnie
Dante.
Nick
White Sox. Dave, I. I hate to break it to you live on air. He's my favorite guy.
Gab
That's. I. I love Dante, too. I can. I can see why he'd put him above me.
Nick
The reaction to seeing Rochelle. Ryan.
Gab
I don't think I've seen it. Can we pull it up?
Kyle
Nick, you pointed out. Everybody watch for the lick of the lips.
Tate
That's what.
Nick
I was starving.
Donnie
I couldn't stop laughing at that.
Nick
It was the lick lip that made me realize that, Dave. It's. It's the meme of Andy dropping Woody and picking up buzz. And I'm sorry. And it paid me to do it. And you'll probably get first place back here.
Gab
I was just about to ask, what can I do to recoup my spot?
Donnie
He's so good.
Kyle
You excited to see me?
Stu
How old is she?
Ike
Oh, my God.
Nick
He's in shock.
Kate
What does he Say she's walking away stunned.
Ike
I've never seen him. That's so timid.
Nick
I know, but then I might have gotten sent. She thought he was gay.
Stu
I saw that too. I assumed it was real.
Donnie
This is the best.
Nick
What does he. What does he say under his breath there?
Donnie
Say, nice work?
Kyle
Yeah, yeah, something like that.
Stu
I love your work.
Kyle
Maybe.
Kate
I don't know.
Nick
There it is.
Gab
Confused. Like he didn't know she was coming or something.
Ike
Well, that makes sense.
Nick
Dante looking confused, huh?
Ike
Yeah, that one checks out. She got sent out, I think.
Nick
She did, yeah.
Ike
About the food that they.
Kyle
Chicken fingers.
Gab
Yeah.
Ike
They're eating, like, a big plate of food.
Nick
Oh, that's real.
Ike
That's real.
Kyle
Yeah.
Kate
That's Tate's reporting. Oh, that.
Ike
That's real. Yeah.
Kate
Yeah.
Ike
He's so feminine.
Kate
Did Connor unbutton a extra button on a shirt?
Nick
It looks like it.
Kate
He maybe. You know what? I take it back when I said he has another trick of his sleeve. I didn't see that one.
Nick
The buttons?
Kate
Yeah, the extra button showing chest. That checks out.
Kyle
I just saw this video where this girl was hitting on a guy in a bar and her big move was she. It's like one of these kind of things where you get them like this, but then she takes her finger and she undoes every button on his shirt, like, so fast. Is that possible?
Ike
That would tick me off.
Nick
I would be so pissed.
Kyle
No, no, the buttons didn't go flying. She, like, undid the buttons so fast on his shirt.
Donnie
I wanted sorcery.
Kyle
Yeah, Like a finger trick. And he looked like he was in love.
Ike
They had to be snapped. Were they Magna buttons or snap?
Kyle
No, no, they were like real button buttons. And she. The way she did it.
Nick
Every single one.
Kate
Why would that piss you off?
Ike
It's the integrity of the shirt. You're not supposed to do that. You're supposed to do one.
Nick
Yeah, it's a. I hate when a shirt has loose buttons.
Gab
Yeah.
Kate
Some integrity.
Ike
Oh, I thought it was so cool.
Kyle
I was like, you don't do cool
Ike
tricks, in my opinion.
Nick
What if a dude did that to you?
Kyle
I'm wearing a button up pocket shirt.
Nick
You would have a button shirt underneath.
Ike
You ever have button. You ever have button pants instead of
Nick
the zipper almost exclusively? Yeah, I prefer it.
Kyle
What is wrong with you?
Nick
I like it. You can't leave your zipper down. And I'm a big. I do that a lot. I leave my zipper down a lot.
Ike
Really?
Nick
Yeah.
Gab
One of our jeans, former jean sponsors. It was an issue.
Nick
They would always fall down.
Gab
Always, always Yeah, I just forget to
Nick
zip it back up.
Kate
My jeans are. I like the button ones, too.
Nick
Yeah.
Kyle
Yeah.
Kate
And I think it's finally, like, one more button. Like, they have, like, four buttons, but the bottom two you leave permanently buttoned, right?
Nick
Yeah, I prefer it.
Kate
And then you just undo the top two, get your big fat out.
Reed
Right.
Nick
It's better for fat man. Or you don't have to worry about putting up your fat in your pants.
Kate
That's like I said, fat penises.
Nick
Yeah. The zipper, it's, like bulging so much that the zipper leaves, like, an imprint. The teeth.
Kate
Nothing worse than a busted zipper.
Nick
You know, just if I get aroused slightly.
Connor Griffin
I have a question about the Connor and Rochelle dinner picture. How do you guys feel about sitting on either very close at a circular table at a restaurant or same side of a booth?
Gab
Never, ever, ever. Same side of.
Ike
I've never done that in any.
Gab
In any setting ever.
Nick
If it's a square table with four seats, but you're with your significant other. I like taking the corner, though.
Kate
Side city.
Nick
Yeah, that's fine.
Kyle
Especially if there's a view, if you guys are both looking out at something. But other than that, I would not sit in a booth. Neck with nobody else. I would not sit in a booth. Next.
Kate
Circular booth. No, you don't sit next to.
Nick
Can't do that.
Reed
You don't.
Donnie
But because of a stigma. But, like, I don't see why that should be weird. Right.
Kyle
I feel like it's hard to talk to somebody.
Nick
Yeah. But I think that was just for, like, a filming vantage point.
Ike
You do this.
Nick
What do you do?
Ike
Opposite side. If this is the booth.
Kate
What if your chair is the booth?
Ike
If so, imagine. Yeah, so imagine this is a big booth. Okay.
Kate
Mark your chair.
Reed
Yeah.
Ike
Picture times 10.
Kate
Okay, so now there's 36 booth.
Ike
It's on the other side. You go at the far corner.
Kate
Okay.
Ike
I don't know how hard that is to understand.
Gab
What restaurant were they at? We know that.
Nick
I don't know.
Gab
I would assume it was higher end.
Ike
Right.
Gab
Do you think he had to, like, zip through the menu and hit the kids menu to order the chicken tenders?
Ike
Oh, I got.
Kyle
That was sent.
Kate
That was.
Ike
That wasn't real.
Donnie
That was fake.
Nick
Oh, I got. I fell for that right before this.
Gab
Okay.
Nick
I've been falling for all of pony
Kyle
and the chicken tendies. Got me.
Nick
That's just so believable.
Kate
He did order.
Gab
So believable.
Kate
He did order the same drink. Right. That was real. I think. I think Tate said he like a watermelon margarita or something.
Gab
That sounds.
Nick
Oh, I don't know.
Kate
That's what I'm not gonna drink.
Nick
Shame.
Kate
No, no, no. I'm not drink shaming. What I am shaming from Connor is that he. When he goes to a nice restaurant, he does not know what to order and he just waits for someone else to order and then he just follows their.
Gab
That's dick. A couple years ago when him and I were having to go out like once a week to a nice restaurant, the you could tell he didn't know how to navigate a yes or menu.
Nick
How does he always look 2d in photos? Always just looks like freshly printed flat Stanley. Yeah, it's every photo taken to him.
Ike
Well, the central one of Dante doing the international code for the.
Nick
That was believable too.
Kyle
I thought that was real as well.
Nick
Is there a way we can have Connor call in?
Donnie
Did you talk to him?
Kate
Mostly we did, yeah. Yesterday with you. But no, I didn't call it today. No. Because I kind of like the way I left it when you were on the show was like he's. He's got either got something cooking or this is extremely boring. And either way. Yeah, I don't know. You can call him.
Nick
I'll do an ad and then. Yeah. Roback Roback Activewear. Best fit, best feel. Spring is coming. Which means the Roback Azalea collection is back. Your favorite azalea design in several colors, new designs and new products. Second. Secondly, Roback has launched two new products that you should all know about. First, their Tailwind sports shirt might be the most comfortable nice shirt out there. It's made for date night. The perfect combo of looking casual but nice and still be comfortable. They also released a sweater polo that we are here for. It's great stretch fabric making it very comfortable and breathable. Use code yak Yak for 20 off your first purchase. 20 off all polos, hoodies, sports shirts and more. Just use code yak and over roback.com. yeah, maybe. Is there a way we can send him a zoom link gab I send him. Oh, thanks. If you were in Connor's situation, what are you doing?
Gab
It's.
Tate
Listen, it's. It's a tough spot. That's why I'm not there.
Stu
It's a tough spot
Ike
to be in
Tate
when the bright lights and everybody's chirping and commenting and all that, you can't lock in. It's tough to. It's tough to lock in in that environment.
Nick
Correct me if I'm wrong, you have some experience.
Tate
I. I Do. And I, I kept it on the DL. It wasn, you know, I wasn't being discussed as it was happening live on the Yak and all that nonsense, so. I feel for him. He's. He's in a tough spot.
Nick
But would you recommend it to Connor?
Tate
I mean, do it.
Nick
It's a hell of fun.
Kate
It's fun.
Stu
I mean, he will open.
Tate
Actually, me not. But yeah, not do it. It'll be hell of a time.
Stu
But what are the downsides to banging a porn star?
Nick
I think it's the fact that your
Stu
parents find out that.
Nick
And, like, I'd imagine future dating would be tough. Like, I think some girls wouldn't love that. You're very on record sleeping with a porn star.
Ike
If it's not film, though, what's the difference?
Stu
Yeah, I assume he would wear a condom, too.
Nick
You guys are being mature.
Stu
Not to say Rochelle's dirty.
Kyle
That's like, there's rubbing tugs everywhere here. Like, a lot of guys go to
Ike
rubbing tugs in Chicago.
Kyle
Yes. Dude. Hello.
Stu
Wait.
Kyle
The Avenue island you live on, like,
Kate
right off steel. Okay.
Nick
Know this.
Kyle
It's there. Yes, there.
Kate
I, yeah, I, I, you said that, like, this is just a known thing. It's like, on the tourism board.
Kyle
Yes.
Kate
Chicago is the land of rub and tugs.
Donnie
It is the land who picks out your townhouse.
Kyle
Be weird. There's actually, like, a. He actually told me this. There's a site you can go to find all the. Okay. Anyway.
Ike
Okay.
Kyle
A lot of dudes, I think not a lot, but there are dudes that, like, do that. And I think if I was dating and I found out a guy went to, like, like, I would be like, probably not for me. You're probably not for me. I don't know.
Ike
I know that's different because you're painful,
Kyle
but I'm saying, like, well, you're right, but, like, it's the same kind of stigma. I think if I knew he had banged a porn star, if it was a great story and it was for the plot, maybe I could see me being like, all right, like, but you're right. I don't know.
Ike
Could be a training session.
Kyle
Not that there's anything wrong with porn stars. I, I, I follow a bunch.
Stu
In China, getting a rub and tug isn't really seen as cheating on your
Nick
spouse, is it more medicinal?
Stu
If you've had, like, a hard day at work, you might, might stop off at the rub and tug parlor and get jerked off and then go home to your wife.
Kyle
Well, this is. I'm talking about when you're dating now. I'd be like a pat. I'm exhausted. No, I wouldn't.
Stu
The, the most up. No, I know was this was like maybe a 17 year old and him and his dad would go get rub and tugs together. It was like a father son.
Kyle
Oh, God.
Ike
Yeah. That's strange.
Kate
That is.
Stu
Yeah.
Nick
Couldn't do that. That I couldn't even do a rub and tuck. I'd be really. I'd have to be down pretty bad.
Kyle
I can't even get a massage or like my feet done because I'm so worried about them and so self conscious of them that I like can't chill. I like can't enjoy that.
Kate
What, what does that mean?
Gab
You just assume they're all hookers?
Kyle
No, no, no. I'm saying like I. I'm like, I can only imagine getting like. If I had a dick, getting my. I'd be like, oh man, is her hand.
Nick
I wouldn't know what to do when
Kyle
somebody's like giving me a massage. I'm like, they don't to want to be doing this.
Nick
Dave, I'm sure you get. I'm sure people think you might be a rub and tuck guy.
Gab
I would imagine.
Tate
Yeah.
Nick
Have you ever gone to one?
Gab
No.
Nick
Okay, Chef.
Gab
I didn't know this was at.
Nick
Yeah.
Kyle
Why?
Gab
Well, I know that I'll tell you
Kyle
where, but I'll tell you where after.
Nick
Is it like everywhere? Is it pretty apparent?
Gab
Yeah, that's what like, I know there's a bunch of like random massage parlors up and down Chicago Avenue, like right around here. The. I just assume they're massage parlors. They're all rubbing tugs.
Ike
What gives it. What gives it away? Is it like a swingers? How they. They put a lantern in their window?
Nick
I heard it was like a pineapple. I heard if they use a foot in their icon, a foot in their logo.
Kyle
What's a big one? What's a big one?
Ike
Yeah,
Kyle
the front door. Like there's. I feel like you can tell. Am I crazy?
Nick
No, no, it's.
Ike
I've never looked that hard. Is it illegal?
Nick
There has to be something.
Stu
Only if they've been traffic. Yeah, like.
Kyle
Yeah, no, it's gotta be.
Nick
Is that.
Gab
Yeah, that's the Bob Kraft thing.
Stu
Yeah. Bob Craft happened to be at a spot.
Nick
What was the place called?
Stu
The girls were traffic. That's why there was a sting. But I'm sure other ones are okay.
Nick
I don't know. That seems like prostitution, right?
Stu
Yeah. When I was growing up, everybody talked about Providence, Rhode island being the hand job. Capital take. Just filled with rub and tugs.
Nick
Where did Glenny Ball say he loves getting a new root? Nor root. What's it called where they just massage your back with tits?
Donnie
Montreal.
Nick
But what's the massage called?
Ike
I've never heard of this.
Nick
Nuru Noru massage.
Connor Griffin
Nuru.
Reed
Yeah.
Kate
They take their tits, and they massage
Nick
your back with the bare tits.
Ike
That's not a massage.
Kyle
No, I think they covered themselves in
Donnie
oil, and they, like, they just slide up and down you.
Kyle
They use you like a slip and slide.
Nick
Glenny would be tough to do that.
Kyle
Yes.
Stu
Glenny had a hilarious story back in the day, but I'm like, something about him having a giant bag of white pasta sauce that he either, like, was gifted at the rub and tug parlor or brought to the rub and tug parlor.
Nick
The halal white sauce?
Stu
Yeah, it could be the halal white sauce. Have him call in and share that story. He was very open about it, but I don't know how to find it. I just searched Glenny Ball's white sauce tug, and nothing came up.
Connor Griffin
Actually, I have a rubbing tug story where this is a long time ago. This was, like, early 20.
Donnie
Wait, wait, wait.
Nick
Okay, let me just get comfy.
Connor Griffin
So I haven't gotten a rubbing tug, but I did go to one not knowing it was a rub and tug. So I like to get massages. I think that's great. So me and some buddies went to a massage parlor trying to get a. An inexpensive massage. So we get there, and immediately I notice things are a little different.
Nick
Can I interrupt really quick? I'm sorry. Didn't your buddies, when they came to visit you recently, go get massages, too?
Connor Griffin
Yeah.
Nick
Is this a thing you guys do?
Kate
Yeah.
Reed
Okay.
Connor Griffin
Because we usually, like, play basketball a lot, and we're now. We're older, so. Yeah, that's, like, not crazy, I don't think. But. So we went to this massage parlor my buddy found on Yelp. And we get there, and it's definitely different because, like, normally, if you go, sometimes they'll just be like, it's not like a couple's massage, but you'll be, like, kind of in. In, like, rooms or curtains next to each other, and it's all pretty on the up and up. But this one was, like, in its own room. We were all separate, like, doors closed. And then the masseuses were dressed much differently than you would think. Like, normally you go in, and they're like, all right, like, get down to your underwear or whatever and go face down on the table, and they'll come in and massage you. You never really see them if you keep your eyes closed. But this one, the lights were fully on and it was just like, all right. Like they start out doing a regular massage, but then at one point the massage is terrible and for like five minutes they go like, all right, turn over. And I was like, okay. And then go hand job. That's like no, like Swedish massage. English, not first language of the. The person.
Nick
I could tell by the voice you were doing.
Kate
Whoa. Job. Whoa. They're dressed differently. What does that mean?
Connor Griffin
They were just like provocative more scantly. Whereas like normal are in like not scrubs, but like.
Kate
Yeah.
Connor Griffin
Some type of comfortable massage wear.
Nick
They were dressed like scantily clad.
Tate
Yes.
Nick
Like what?
Connor Griffin
Not like a bikini or that, but like pushed up and stuff like that. And definitely not your typical young, attractive, not young. I would say probably 50. Not ugly. But.
Nick
But you do have an ugly masseuse plug, right?
Connor Griffin
Yes, I do. But yeah. So we. We got out of there. Pretty. Pretty cool. The. The most awkward part was the negotiation. After we agreed that like I wasn't gonna get those services. I was like, okay, can I just pay you the rate for a regular massage? Because we're already here. And it didn't go well. So we just left after a couple minutes.
Nick
Did any of your buddies.
Ike
Did they.
Nick
That all happen to them too?
Connor Griffin
Yeah, we all had pretty much the same experience.
Stu
None of them said yes.
Connor Griffin
None of them said yes.
Kyle
That's. There's a. I'm telling you, I guess I live in that corridor because. And then there is one that kind of looks like it could be. But it's some of the moms in my mom's group go there and get massages. Like just a straight up little mini spa. But they said a few of them that have been there said men have walked in expecting, expecting and that they're always like, no, no, no, no, this is not wrong vibe. Like go down there.
Ike
Is is there the same option for women? Like a fingering?
Kyle
That's a good question. I don't know.
Stu
Could one emails get a happy ending
Gab
themselves to see how. How fast they can get it?
Nick
Like a leaderboard.
Gab
Yeah, yeah, like the yak.
Nick
I mean, I guess it's. Yeah, it'll be more efficient, get more custom.
Kate
Add that to the gauntlet.
Ike
Dude.
Kate
If they're just come after, hit one three, run over there, get jacked off, hit the other three.
Nick
There has to be something that's done it doubles.
Donnie
Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I think it's a. Eddie.
Gab
Has Eddie has said that publicly.
Stu
You sure?
Gab
Are you sure? I'm fairly.
Kate
Were you just out? I'm. Huh.
Stu
I lived in China for eight years. I have gotten one and it was not a great experience, so I didn't go back.
Nick
I feel pretty empty after.
Stu
I had friends.
Nick
Yeah, yeah.
Stu
It was. It was a 40, like 40 year old woman. She was not into it. And I was like, yeah, I didn't really see the appeal, but I also had friends that would go on a weekly basis out there.
Kate
But it's like.
Nick
Is it advertised, like on the windows there that this is a no. Oh, is it illegal?
Stu
I think technically illegal. What would happen is they would keep on popping up. Popping up to the point where like there was a hand job parlor on every block. And then every like three years, the police would come by and just shut them all down.
Nick
That would be the most fun bar crawl.
Stu
Yeah.
Nick
Keep on going.
Stu
Yes. And. And those places you'll go. Yeah.
Donnie
Oh, that would be like the worst bar crawl ever.
Nick
It would be good for two bars.
Stu
Probably one for me.
Nick
Yeah.
Stu
I think I'd get my fix, but yeah. No. And then all of a sudden there'd be none. And then they would slowly pop up,
Kate
pop, pop, pop, pop.
Stu
And then they would do another raid and shut them all down.
Kate
Huh.
Kyle
As I think Mike Rainey, who's the comedian who's been in here a few times, he's talked about like down by the Eagle Stadium afterwards, and it's just like a room full of dudes in McNabb jerseys waiting their turn. It's like really depressing and like, sad
Nick
that after an Eagles loss, has to be a horrible place, I guess. And Eddie, Eddie loves him.
Kyle
I'm going to send you guys pictures on my walk to pick up my kid from daycare and you guys tell me whether I'm right or wrong. How many?
Stu
I don't know if we'll be able to tell just from the outside.
Kyle
I think you'll. I think you'll be able to tell.
Ike
Danny Conrad might have to go investigate.
Nick
That's a good idea.
Gab
Jim Jeffries, the comedian has a really good standup where he. He's from Australia. He. One of his childhood friends that he stayed in touch with through his adulthood, took that guy's younger brother who has muscular.
Donnie
Dave, you told this story as your own before.
Gab
I know.
Nick
Oh, wait. Yeah. You lied to us that it was Jim Jeffries on the Yak.
Kyle
When did I do that? You did.
Gab
Only, yeah, it wasn't on the end.
Nick
You said you took a buddy with Muscular dystrophy.
Gab
Yeah, that was on. That might have been on anus or something.
Kate
I don't know who.
Gab
Can't sleep maybe.
Nick
Yeah. You've stolen that.
Ike
Yeah.
Gab
Yeah, it's. It's absolutely piss pants.
Ike
Funny.
Nick
I think it was on the yak. I don't know though.
Gab
I don't think it was on the yak.
Nick
So I just open one of those up and then like interview.
Stu
I just searched rub and tug on Google Maps and the spot came up. That's 0.1 miles away. Gets a. A 2.8 out of 5.
Nick
What are the reviews?
Stu
They. They must mention rub and tug or else it wouldn't just pop up in my search.
Nick
Unless it's in the comments.
Ike
Like.
Kate
Like.
Stu
Yeah, it's probably in the comments somewhere. And then okie dokie spa comes up too, as I. I don't want out
Kyle
here, say alleged.
Stu
Yep. No, these seem like legit perfectly good spots. Yep.
Connor Griffin
There was a place in New York that was right by MSG that you need a password to get in. I think that's kind of cool.
Nick
That is cool. That makes it a little bit. Did you know the password, Steve? How'd you know about this?
Connor Griffin
Buddy? Frequented the.
Kyle
I always thought next door to that office there was the. The spy store I wanted to go. And underneath it was the pole dancing class.
Nick
That has to be the coolest people that are going.
Kyle
Yeah.
Ike
Oh, I went to the spy store a lot. Yeah.
Nick
It was right next to.
Kyle
I was always too intimidated.
Ike
No, it's very disappointing, unfortunately. But it is like the guy that runs it is a guy that dresses like he wants to be a spy. Black pants, like a white shirt tucked in and super slick back black hair and. But everything is very on.
Gab
On.
Ike
Impressive that he has spot. It's more for like creeps. It's like little cameras you put in your pen and like foot Peeping Tom gear. It's for peeping Tom.
Kyle
That's why I always thought it was hot. It was right above the pole dance class studio.
Reed
Yeah.
Ike
The guy now I think about, he dressed more like a peeping tom than a spy.
Nick
Okay. It was like mirrors for your shoes to look up.
Ike
I was in this. That vein of oh, interesting. It was a lot of just like, like, how can I hide a camera in like the, the. The most inconspicuous way to look at other people.
Kyle
Do you guys ever think about that when you're peeing in an Airbnb or like you're.
Nick
Oh, yeah.
Kyle
Sometimes I'm like, I better not do this in A weird way, just in case. Not that I would do it in a weird way, but, like, I, I, I can't.
Donnie
You want to press the, the.
Kate
You want to pee in a cool way.
Kyle
I don't want to, like, I don't want to, like, slop down or really let it go. I, I'm just, like, trying to be normal just in case the videos out there want to have a normal pee.
Ike
I've been in Airbnb where they had cameras set up in multiple spots inside, which was. I didn't love. But then they, I guess in legally, they're not allowed to look at the footage unless there's a crime or a lawsuit, so.
Kate
Oh, so they, they definitely didn't look at the footage.
Gab
Yeah, they probably did.
Kate
Yeah.
Nick
Mince, text me. Me and Stu are in the office for the yak if you guys need anything, just in case.
Gab
Yeah, text Stu to Come on.
Stu
Is Mint's going to Vegas or was
Nick
that ruled out, shot down,
Connor Griffin
stood it. Get attitude. Family Feud.
Nick
Whoa. He'll be. Oh, my God. Him with Steve and wait, so what is.
Donnie
We have the, the squad.
Nick
No, I think there's a tournament.
Donnie
Oh, but it's still the play in tournament.
Ike
Yeah.
Connor Griffin
Yeah. So the playing tournament will be Monday or. I don't know if I should say it, but it,
Gab
I think it has. Yeah.
Reed
Yeah.
Connor Griffin
Oh, it's live to tape. That means it's live, right?
Ike
To tape.
Connor Griffin
Okay, well, I don't know what live
Nick
to tape means either.
Ike
Live is you. It's live, and then you don't edit it and it comes out later.
Nick
So what's live to tape?
Ike
That's live to tape.
Stu
Okay, wait.
Ike
Okay, am I, am I wrong there?
Stu
I don't.
Kyle
Wait, I thought it's live and then
Kate
like, you can edit it, but we'll
Kyle
just play it out later right as live.
Ike
So you. But it's not live. But it's not actually live.
Connor Griffin
But it's not airing.
Nick
It's airing live.
Ike
No, you're just not editing the footage technically. So you film it all and then you put it out later as a live show.
Connor Griffin
But it's gotcha.
Ike
Nothing's edited or changed, so it feels like a lot.
Kate
It's the same.
Ike
It's like a. It's like.
Connor Griffin
Yeah, we're filming it soon.
Ike
It's like late night tv. They claim it's live, but all that was Pre recorded at 5.
Connor Griffin
We're filming it soon, so. Yes.
Reed
The.
Ike
You're shocked by that?
Nick
Yeah. I didn't know that.
Ike
You didn't know live TV Is not actually late night tv. Is not actually at late night.
Nick
No.
Ike
They do that all day.
Nick
4pm, 3pm no, no.
Stu
Saturday Night Live is live.
Ike
Saturday Night Live is live. But like any of the late night shows. Letterman, Colbert, you name them, they all
Nick
shot during the day.
Ike
Yeah.
Kyle
Daily show and Colbert was shot in the evening.
Nick
She worked.
Ike
But still not act like at midnight when they were coming out. Yeah. I think celebrities want to go to bed.
Nick
That's got to be.
Ike
That's why they do it so early.
Nick
We want to do a live show, but all the celebs are sleepy tired. Once Mark gets back, I think we should try to call.
Donnie
Probably should get Connor Tate.
Tate
So I just got word that they're. So I texted him. He's on do not disturb. Got word that they're on their rest hour. How do you guys want to.
Nick
Oh, he's at nap time.
Donnie
Yeah.
Tate
How do you want to.
Nick
I don't want to wake up calling.
Tate
All right, cool.
Nick
Yeah.
Tate
Oh, yeah, read. Apparently he's available. Pets is around.
Nick
Yeah. Oh, yeah, they got. I guess. Let me do an ad.
Donnie
Yeah.
Nick
Do you want to do.
Kate
We'll do.
Nick
Yeah, do the cups.
Donnie
Oh, you want me to do an ad?
Nick
Yeah.
Donnie
Oh. Some fans believe in teams of destiny, but I believe everything happens for a Reese's. Just think about it. What is the one thing every team or athlete wants? A championship. Why? Because half of them are called cups. Half Stanley world rider, just like Reese's. Luckily, scoring a Reese's cup is way easier than winning a championship. It's almost like you were destined to get one right now. Because everything happens for a Reese's. Pick one up today. Everything happens for a Reese's. Get yours@hersheland.com Reese's.
Nick
Good work.
Kyle
Yeah.
Nick
Yeah. Let's talk a ton of them this week. Oh, the marshmallow ones are hurt.
Gab
Kate, I got a question for you. Was it hard to readjust back to civilian life when you got out of the military?
Nick
Did you have to sleep on the floor?
Stu
How was your ptsd?
Kyle
Yeah, it was pretty good. It was good.
Nick
How are you with fireworks?
Kyle
How was it? It was weird at first. It was. I'm not gonna lie.
Donnie
Like, coming out matinee.
Kyle
Well, like you're.
Ike
You don't.
Kyle
Yeah, like that in the middle of the day.
Connor Griffin
Whoa.
Kyle
What time is it?
Donnie
I can relate.
Kyle
Yeah, yeah, no, that's pretty much it.
Nick
It.
Ike
Do you miss being around, like, a lot of people all the time? Like the team aspect of being in the military?
Stu
Camaraderie.
Ike
Camaraderie. That's the word I was like, I can't never pronounce that, so I skip it.
Stu
The sisterhood and brotherhood.
Kyle
This is kind of similar. You live near the people you work with.
Stu
Yeah.
Nick
Go to war every day.
Kyle
Go to war every day.
Ike
Is there a lot of drama in the military?
Kyle
Yes.
Ike
Really?
Kyle
Oh, my God.
Nick
Is it like. Is there love triangles?
Kyle
Yes, there's so much like. And the, like the trope of, like, the dudes falling in love with the strippers kind of thing. It's like, all true. There's like, so it's like a lot of young people get married really young.
Nick
Yeah.
Kyle
They're dumb. And like, said with love, the Camaro trope.
Nick
Is that true?
Kyle
Very true.
Nick
What car did you buy?
Kyle
People just getting all kind. I bought a Hyundai Sonata that the windows didn't work and I had to open the doors. I would ride with my elbow and the door opened. It was so hot in California.
Gab
Anyway, I have a cousin who was in the Air Force, and she, I would say, is an average looking woman. And I. I say that I.
Nick
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Gab
The conversation got sidetracked a little bit. I was originally asking because I'm wondering what they're gonna be like when they get back.
Nick
Let's break down what you just said. But your average looking cousin.
Ike
I.
Gab
And she said that she got what? What. What would she need constantly in the military?
Nick
What would she need to improve for? In your head to be.
Gab
Well, I mean, she's in her 50s now.
Nick
Oh, okay.
Kate
So she's an attractive woman who's just older.
Gab
Yes. Okay, we'll say that. I. I'm trying to be nice.
Nick
Pretty.
Gab
I don't know.
Ike
Maybe.
Gab
Probably.
Ike
Yeah.
Gab
But I. That's why I asked the question.
Donnie
You don't know.
Gab
Said it was just relentless.
Nick
What does your cousin look like 20 years ago?
Donnie
Dave. And be honest. Yeah, we don't need an average.
Kate
Look, we're not doing average. We're not doing this. She could lose a few.
Gab
I'm not flat ass. I will not chase the ball.
Nick
But on base, she was, what, like out of 10?
Gab
What's average? What's your average?
Nick
5,
Gab
but that's relative to everybody.
Kate
What?
Ike
What?
Stu
Wait.
Ike
Yeah.
Nick
What do you mean?
Stu
What's your average? What's the average type of girl you hook up with?
Ike
Like.
Gab
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Stu
What is average? Banging sevens or average out of 10?
Ike
It would be right in the middle.
Gab
I understand that. Like, that makes perfect sense. Yes. However.
Stu
Hold up.
Ike
Done.
Gab
Let me. Let me continue. Port Noana's Pizza scale. He says seven. One is like the average pizza. It can shift a little bit.
Nick
Neither average to me is 5 out of 10. Okay, but that's just my crazy ass.
Gab
All right, that's just your crazy ex. But was that the case in the military?
Kyle
I hate to say it. It is. You do you are aware that because you are a rare commodity.
Gab
Yeah.
Kyle
It makes you a little more in demand. Yes. And then, like, so say they call them, like, deployment tens. So, like, I was a deployment 10 because I was the only one for miles in the middle of the desert. So. But then. And then if you put a little love spray on, you're like a 20.
Nick
What's love spray?
Kyle
Just any kind of thing if you smell good.
Ike
Really?
Kyle
Because, yeah, it's all stink and they're whatever. It's like, if you even smell good, you could be an ogre. But dudes are like, oh, that's hot as. It's like the. The standard.
Nick
So your. Your average. Your homely cousin had to have been crushing.
Kate
I want to hear more about this cousin. What celebrity does she look like?
Nick
Yeah, could you, like, just for a visual aid.
Gab
Yeah, we're not doing this.
Kate
What?
Donnie
MLB player
Stu
Renee Zelwe.
Gab
Frank Thomas.
Donnie
I've kind of been getting, like, some propaganda that's, like, working on me, like, making me wish I would join the military. It's like young dudes who are in, like, Guam or Japan, just, like, Okinawa, drinking beer.
Nick
She was in Guam.
Donnie
Sunset, like, and it seems like it could be a blast.
Kyle
I. One of the spots I lived, Camp Pendleton. There's, like, camps all. Camp Pendleton is massive, but there's camps throughout it. Like, they're almost like little towns. And the one I got to live on for the longest was on the beach. So we had this beautiful California, Southern California coast to ourselves. And I got to live, like. And so every night after work, we would, like, go drink beers and watch the sunset on. Over the Pacific. Like, we went surfing every morning before work. Like, it was damn, like a magical. You wouldn't understand.
Kate
And you gave all that up just to be here And.
Kyle
And then, like, you're with your best buddies all the time. Like, and the. I don't know, it really. Military people are, like, some of the funniest. Like, I don't know, it's just like shenanigans with, like, all your best buddies 24 7. And it is, like, pretty. Pretty cool. They are some, like, insane, like, the most ridiculous characters you could ever meet. And you're all, like, fortunate to be together and it's like really fun.
Stu
I'm sold.
Ike
I had a buddy stationed in Alaska. He just was always skiing. It looked like a dream.
Kyle
Yeah?
Ike
Yeah.
Nick
Were you jealous? Very.
Ike
Yeah. Very.
Nick
Kate, when you got out of the military, wasn't there like a. Is there like a buffer period where if war breaks out, you still get drugged back in?
Kyle
They call they. There is. There was like a few year period, but it's like. I don't think it's ever. There's that movie Stop Loss.
Nick
I haven't seen Stop Loss.
Kyle
It was an MTV movie with.
Tate
With.
Kyle
I think he died in the car crash.
Donnie
Paul Walk.
Kyle
I believe he was the one in it. I don't quite remember. But yeah, you could get Stop Loss, but it's like super rare. It's like has to be like crazy bad. You're supposed to check in every however many months, and I never did.
Ike
You're supposed to register for the draft, which I'm just finding out recently.
Nick
They do it automatically.
Ike
You don't have to self register.
Nick
I think you register to vote. They also. You register for selective service.
Gab
I. I thought I did it when I got my license.
Kate
License.
Ike
That's okay. Organ donor. You have to re.
Gab
When you're 18, like redo it, I think.
Nick
Oh, okay. I think I did when I registered to vote.
Kyle
Have you seen. Is it Korea? South Korea.
Nick
You have time.
Kyle
It's where it's almost like a reality show. They'll go up and they'll tell you whether you're about to go to the military. Like drop to their knees, like sobbing and like. Yeah, the videos from it are crazy.
Gab
It's just. Don't they actually like coin flip for it?
Kyle
They've like game showified it where it's.
Gab
I know, I've seen them.
Ike
Yeah.
Kyle
Are you going to the military?
Nick
Well, my favorite is mandatory.
Reed
Right.
Ike
Do that with the Air Force where they do. They figure out what. What they'll be, what plane they'll be flying and people like that. I love watch.
Nick
I love watching people react to their plane.
Ike
But I think they choose. They know like you put in which
Kyle
ones you put in your favorite. The same with what base you're going to after you go through boot camp. You get to pick. Here's the top few places I want to go. And then you find out where you're actually going.
Nick
And same with flight attendants. They pick. They put their number one city they want to be stationed in.
Kyle
Really?
Nick
Yeah.
Donnie
That's another job I'd like to do.
Nick
Flight attendant. Attendant.
Kate
They all.
Nick
They all want like Chicago and then seeing them devastated when they get Pittsburgh is. It's a good watch, boys.
Donnie
Double trouble.
Nick
We'll start with Reed. Reed, can you hear us? Yeah. How we doing, man?
Titus
Chilling, dude.
Kate
Hell, yeah.
Nick
You got the official go ahead from big boss man that you're off the leash. What does off the leash read mean again?
Titus
Like, I don't know if I'm gonna be, like, great for the show because I don't drink, and. But, like, I'm just gonna be. I guess, just be a chiller.
Donnie
But, yeah, just be yourself, Connor.
Kate
Yeah. Like, you don't have to. The opposite show is not drinking. I mean, this isn't. This isn't a drinking show. If it was, Deutsch would have been.
Reed
Right.
Nick
It would have been a mega star. Reed, you being yourself has worked out incredibly.
Reed
Yeah.
Titus
So that's. Yeah. I'm just gonna be.
Nick
Yeah. And are you bummed that Brianna's gone?
Titus
Yeah, for sure.
Nick
Yeah.
Titus
For sure.
Reed
Yeah.
Titus
Yeah, for sure. But I think it's fine, right?
Nick
Yeah.
Kate
How'd you leave things with. With Brie?
Titus
I mean, dude, I, like. I didn't really, like, talk to her at all because, like, I was
Nick
kind
Titus
of cutting clips, so, like, I wasn't. I didn't really talk to her, like, at all, except for, like, in those. In those clips that all of you guys saw.
Nick
But you have. You have her number?
Titus
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I. I do. Yeah, I do have her number. So, like. Like, I don't even know if I'm.
Ike
I'm gonna text you.
Kate
Yeah.
Donnie
What are you gonna say?
Kate
Did you say.
Stu
That's what I'm saying.
Nick
That's what I'm saying.
Donnie
Like, Reed, what would you say?
Kate
Did you say goodbye to her?
Titus
No.
Kate
Well, then text her that, dude. Just be like, hey, you. You left her before I could.
Titus
Yeah, no, So I, like, I do have her number, but, like, I'm pretty sure she's talking to a guy, too.
Kate
That's all right. Are they married with us?
Titus
I don't know, though. Like, Yeah. I don't know if I'm gonna text her or not just because it's like, well, what the.
Stu
Like, let me ask.
Nick
Let me ask you this, and I don't want. You don't have to divulge too much personal information. Have any chicks from your past reached out after seeing this, thinking they fumbled pretty bad?
Titus
Oh, no, she. The girl that's friends on me has not.
Ike
Okay.
Nick
It'll happen.
Ike
Yeah.
Titus
No, it's been crazy, though. It's been crazy these past, like. Like four or five days. It's just been absolutely insane.
Kate
You've been there three years.
Donnie
Imagine.
Kate
Read.
Titus
Oh, I've been there three.
Nick
You're there now.
Gab
Feels like you guys.
Donnie
You're there.
Titus
So I've been there three.
Kate
I think it's been three.
Nick
Right here.
Gab
You are there.
Kyle
You're there.
Nick
You're still there.
Titus
No, I said there. I said there.
Kate
Yeah, but you're. You're there.
Titus
Yeah, yeah.
Kate
Which would be here for you.
Nick
You.
Donnie
How was last night? Did you get.
Reed
You're.
Titus
Dude, you're confusing me.
Stu
Titus, are you doing this on purpose?
Donnie
Reed, Titus is with you.
Stu
Is Titus with you?
Nick
Yes, big time.
Kate
You would be here, right?
Nick
No, he's there.
Kate
Cuz you're there.
Stu
Shut up.
Titus
Titus.
Kate
If you're there, then you should say I'm here.
Nick
No, cuz he's not in Chicago. Titus.
Kate
No, I'm here.
Titus
I'm here.
Kate
No, we're here.
Gab
You're here.
Nick
Yeah, we're there.
Donnie
Don't you get it?
Titus
I'm there.
Kate
Yeah, you're not. You could just do this for hours.
Nick
This is Abbott and Costello. Connor Griffin. You must be somewhere urban.
Ike
Looks like a Batman.
Kyle
Are you in a Michelle's face?
Reed
I'm in the room where they've been doing the. The confessionals. It's like this weird little. It's actually like a hidden room that we got back here.
Nick
Is it behind a bookcase?
Reed
Yes. Everybody else is asleep and I didn't want to wake them up by being out in the regular suite, so I came back here.
Nick
I'm sorry to wake you. I know this is your designated sleep time.
Reed
No, it's fine. I. I couldn't fall asleep anyway.
Nick
You seem well rested. Mark's disappointed in you and that has to feel pretty bad.
Reed
No, I'm fine with it. Yeah.
Kyle
Okay.
Reed
I saw Mark's clip and everything like that. I don't know what to say.
Gab
Mark was just saying that Reed's got to just keep being himself. Before you guys hopped on, he was saying you got to do the exact opposite of everything going out there.
Reed
I have to not be myself.
Gab
Yeah, you got to pull a Costanza and just go against your every instinct.
Reed
I mean, maybe. I don't know. Yeah, the whole thing. I. I don't know exactly what would have been a good payoff aside from, yeah, I have sex with her, which I was not going to do.
Kate
Yeah, sure. And that's. There are other. The Connor Griffin I know doesn't just say there's only one path we can take here year.
Donnie
That's.
Kate
You see content everywhere. Your whole you're you, you, you, you, you, you, you give Connor Griffin an assignment. You say, make content out of this. You go crazy. You go wild. You don't, you don't miss a flight and you're stuck in the hoe, in the, in an airport for hours. And, and send three tweets that just say, like, miss my flight.
Nick
The Conor and love has four to five contingency plans.
Reed
Yeah, I think when it comes, you know, I, I already the, the, if you could call it a bit with Rochelle, like it already felt kind of inorganic and I didn't want to make it any more inorganic by adding on all these like pre rehearsed and pre thought out things. I thought it was just best to just go to dinner and have like a fully authentic time. And hate and Reed, I thought documented it. Great. Like the, the views were great, engagement was great. I thought it was all solid. But yeah, obviously the payoff at the end, probably it was like, it was like the ending to a movie that you really maybe enjoy, but then the ending kind of sours it for you and you're like, oh, now I really didn't like the movie. So I don't know.
Kate
Yeah, but also like, as you're watching the movie, you're like, oh my God, this movie kind of sucks. But the spinoffs could be crazy. And then you find out from the studio there's just no spinoffs. So what are you, what are you doing out there, Connor? What are you, are you done?
Reed
I mean, I, I, I'm gonna be around today. I mean, everybody is dropping like flies. Like everybody's out of here. And so I'm going to stick around, but I don't know exactly what I'm going to be getting into. Yeah, I guess my, my main storyline with Rochelle, if you can call it a storyline, is over. But I don't know, I'm just going to be here for a good time.
Nick
Do you understand our suspicion with missing the flight? The other flights going out to Vegas, you still got on a late one.
Reed
I totally, I understand that. And in hindsight I wish I would have made the first flight and I could have gotten on that one and not had the problems at the airport. Because then, yeah, I guess I, I got you guys that I was like building up to something grand or like that was not the case at all. I was just going to come out here and see where it went again. Like, this kind of came around as a product. Like, I didn't think I would be like a good fit for this show or anything like that. And it kind of came around last minute as, oh, Connor's like, he's got to go out there. So I. I went along with it and I thought we still made some pretty funny content and everything like that.
Ike
But did you notice she was trying to kiss you at the goodbye? Did you pick up on that?
Reed
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gab
You think you.
Reed
Yeah, I mean, I guess you say, I don't think I had a great time with Rochelle.
Kate
You did well.
Donnie
You performed well on the date. You're really good at it.
Reed
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Donnie
And I could tell you were nervous and you. You battled through it, kept your composure, kept your swagger.
Ike
Read.
Reed
Yeah.
Nick
Read what?
Reed
There's a line that I was very cognizant of.
Donnie
The problem is, we want to see you, I guess, embarrass yourself, fail miserably or do something insane.
Nick
I want somebody to walk in on you. Reverse cowboy.
Reed
I don't know about that, Nick. Yeah, no, I. I think that's part of the reason why I was like, yeah, should I even be going out here in the first place? Because I'm. I'm very aware of, like, you know, I'm in a. I think I'm in a good spot right now in my life personally. And I'm like, also, it could all just go to shit if I do something really, really stupid that I regret. So. Understood that for good reality tv. I apologize. But again, I was like, I don't
Nick
think I was entertained by the date
Reed
anyway, but I'm having a good time with everybody.
Nick
Reed, what would you have done in Connor's shoes?
Donnie
Yeah, you were there.
Titus
I honestly probably done the same thing as Connor. Honestly.
Stu
Yeah.
Nick
It's a nerve wracking situation to be in.
Titus
Yeah. Like, especially like, in front of camera like that. I. Yeah, I probably would.
Kate
You say. And when you say you would have done the same thing, you mean you would have had Rochelle cut your steak for you because you couldn't figure out how to use a knife?
Titus
I probably wouldn't have done that.
Reed
Right.
Nick
You would have been able to cut your own steak.
Donnie
Read. What happened. Was that. Was that something that happened?
Reed
No, that did not happen, Reed.
Titus
I honestly don't even know. I honestly don't even know also.
Reed
I just. I don't want to cut you off. Right. Sorry. I. I want to point out, like, I. I was listening to mostly sports. I don't know if it was yesterday or Wednesday after I left or whatever, but everybody. Everybody on the show universally agreed, like, oh, yeah, if we were in that spot, we'd never be able to go
Kate
through with it again, Again, again, Again. Connor, you're focusing on the sexual intercourse with Rochelle. Ryan, I'm putting that.
Donnie
That's.
Kate
That's gone. Push that aside. That's not what I. I'm talking about. Yeah, what. What else. What else are you doing
Reed
with her? Or just in general?
Kate
Just in general. Dude, you're in Las Vegas. You're Connor Griffin. You're content Connie in Las Vegas. And you're sitting on your hands, you're pouting a little bit, You're. You're shrugging your shoulders, and you're saying, I don't. I don't know why I'm here. And it's. And for a guy like me, who's the biggest Connor Griffin fan in the world, it's infuriating. Get your head out of your ass and go do something.
Reed
Yeah, I mean, later today. We still got plenty of time here, and we'll be doing stuff.
Kate
All right.
Reed
But I. I don't know. I. I thought.
Kate
He's broken. I don't know what. I don't know what's going on.
Donnie
We just can't scratch it.
Nick
How were you guys. How did you guys react yesterday to Izzy leaving?
Reed
Oh, tough. Heartbreaking.
Titus
Yeah.
Ike
Same.
Nick
Yeah.
Kate
All right.
Reed
Yeah.
Kate
All right.
Reed
I apologize more.
Kate
Yeah, we'll read. All right.
Reed
What.
Donnie
What now? Are you well rested? How do you feel?
Titus
I'm pretty tired, I'm not gonna lie. But, like, we're gonna. We're gonna go, right?
Kyle
Can you say what's on the itinerary for the afternoon Friday night? Vegas?
Titus
Connor, you know.
Reed
Yeah, I think we're. We're hitting up a pool, and then I think we're gonna be going to a bar crawl. And then I believe we're winding the night up at another club.
Kyle
Okay.
Reed
I'm thinking that's the full game plan, but it'll be another late night. We'll probably be out until like, 4 or 5 in the morning.
Donnie
Reed, you have an outfit for the club?
Titus
Yeah, I'm gonna probably just, I think wear this one.
Nick
Looks good.
Donnie
Yeah.
Kyle
Yeah.
Nick
Maybe no undershirt, because Connor Griffin, you were showing chess yesterday, and that seems a little bit.
Donnie
Good read. That's a great shirt.
Nick
That's a good shirt.
Titus
Right? Right.
Kate
What kind of pants? What kind of pants? And shoes.
Titus
I got, like, these bar hearts here. I'll stand. Outfit of the day, right?
Kate
Yeah. Yeah.
Kyle
OT Date fit check.
Kate
Let's see the.
Donnie
Do a little kick.
Ike
Yeah. Let's see the shoes.
Kate
Step up on the chair.
Donnie
Pick up the shoes.
Nick
Jump up, try to kick your own butt.
Kate
Get on the chair so we can.
Nick
Oh, can't see the shoes.
Kate
All right, I'll show the good jeans.
Kyle
Pretty cool.
Donnie
I mean, show us the shoes.
Stu
Read from this angle, so.
Nick
Oh, yeah, Nice.
Donnie
Casual, classic cool.
Nick
A classic sneak.
Titus
Like, I feel like it's a fine outfit, right?
Nick
It's a perfect, great outfit.
Titus
All right.
Kate
Yeah, boys, wear that for anything, really.
Nick
Connor, your outfit.
Reed
I gotta figure it out. I think I'm gonna be doing zip up shirts.
Kate
Yes.
Reed
Zip up shirt. I got a zip up shirt.
Donnie
Fully like all the way
Kate
or just a little bit?
Reed
It's like a. I guess like a quarter zip.
Nick
Oh, okay. A quarter zip T shirt.
Ike
Sounded like a latex shirt.
Reed
It's from Abercrombie. And then I got some, some Uniqlo pants probably. And then we'll go from there.
Nick
Some unique little pants. God damn. Cannot wait.
Connor Griffin
Wait.
Nick
All right, all right, Connor.
Ike
I know.
Kate
All right, boys.
Nick
I know. I. I have full faith. I have full faith you will entertain.
Kate
I think he's got me right where he wants me. Oh, yeah, I think that's, that's what's going on here. And Connor's got.
Donnie
Got something.
Kate
He's got a bomb he's about to drop.
Kyle
Also, did you guys hear? Brianna Chicken fry has a Penn State butt plug.
Nick
No kidding.
Kyle
So do with that what you will.
Nick
Okay.
Kate
Relle was a distraction. It was a. It was a diversion. Get your attention over here as I'm doing this over here.
Ike
Yeah.
Nick
Connor, do you, do you believe Nikki smokes in the showers or do you think showers are not a. Not a possible place to.
Reed
I. I don't, I don't. I don't believe Nikki.
Donnie
No.
Nick
Yeah, nobody could in a shower.
Reed
I don't believe Nicky Smokes did that.
Ike
Yeah, especially so no one believes it on the cast either.
Reed
No, no, I'm saying he didn't do it in the, in the shower.
Donnie
Yeah. That's not a place, but I think he did it.
Reed
Yeah. Otherwise, I don't know. I. I believe that he did, but you know that, that is another part of this whole thing is that I think the vibes amongst the guys are down and now we're at like 11 guys on the cast here.
Nick
Oh, it's a whack ratio.
Reed
Right.
Donnie
I'm about to send some, Some wrestlers over there. Yeah, they actually are trying. I don't know what if I have the power to do that, but thank you. Yeah.
Kyle
Everyone gets woken up by being grappled with.
Donnie
With that could be the move.
Kate
Yeah.
Reed
The when. When we're going out to these. These bars or these clubs or whatever the case is. You know, we talked about a little bit on the recap show. There's just so many bachelorette parties out here and so many people who are engaged or married. Also you. We've been to. Yeah. Some places that there are people who they just don't want to be on camera, which is totally fine. I. I get that completely. So, yeah, it's been tough for smoked and other smokes, I think, to do exactly what they want to do. But we'll figure out a way today.
Kate
Reed, let me see the view from your. Your place. You got a good view.
Titus
Oh, yeah, it's not bad. It's not like.
Nick
Yeah, it's not bad.
Stu
Is it sick just having your own room?
Kate
Look. I mean, look at that.
Ike
Wow.
Kate
Look at all. Yeah. Yeah, right?
Titus
But yeah, no, it's unreal having my own room, bro. I can just chill out here, like, kind of whenever I want. It's awesome.
Nick
Read.
Donnie
Are your emotions fluctuating a lot? Because you're getting these, like, never before experienced highs. Are you.
Ike
Are you.
Donnie
I'm more. Do you have any come down?
Titus
Honestly?
Connor Griffin
Yes.
Titus
Dude. It's like these clips are just going so like viral and it's like, it's.
Donnie
It's.
Titus
You can't even like, put it to
Donnie
words in a way, you know, it's overwhelming.
Titus
Yeah, it's very.
Donnie
Don't be.
Kate
Yeah.
Donnie
If you. If you want to sit out from some content or take some days off, like, not today, I guess, but.
Titus
Oh, yeah.
Gab
Yeah.
Donnie
No, you gotta let re breathe.
Titus
Yeah. No, it's definitely. Dude, it's been awesome, though. Like, it's. It's generally been the most like, insane. Like four or five days. Three. Three, Titus.
Kate
Three. Right. How long? When did you get out there?
Titus
I got out here Tuesday.
Kate
Oh, so this would be four then.
Nick
Yeah.
Kate
I apologize.
Titus
No, yeah. Like, it's just been a wild ride. For sure.
Donnie
Yeah. Are Danny and. Or Tate available?
Titus
No, Tate's available. I think Conrad's gone.
Donnie
He left.
Kyle
He's got a Miami bachelor party.
Nick
Miami? Me?
Ike
Yeah.
Kate
All right. All right.
Nick
Well, thank you, boys.
Reed
Thank you, guys.
Nick
Yeah, good luck. Proud of you both. Proud of you both, man.
Titus
See you later.
Nick
See you.
Reed
Love you, boys.
Nick
See you, Connor.
Donnie
Love you.
Stu
Peace out. Reed,
Nick
how do you think Mikey Betts is going to do tonight?
Gab
Oh, he's been rich and he is going to dominate tonight.
Nick
Oh, speaking.
Reed
Look at that.
Kyle
Is this real or is this.
Stu
I want it to be I think that's real.
Nick
The boys that took him to Turkey. When should this be taking? When should. When should the hair transplant be apparent?
Gab
Three, four weeks from now.
Nick
Okay.
Stu
No, I think it's like six months. It's then like six to nine months.
Gab
I noticed it when I was in Arizona for spring training, which would have been March after the December transplanted. That's when I looked in the mirror and I was like, holy, it's working. So it's like three, three and a half months, and it's been about two
Ike
and a half for him.
Nick
Did you see his mohawk photo that he.
Gab
Yeah, yesterday.
Nick
Way it looks that that wasn't.
Kyle
Looked a little sparse.
Nick
Looked a little sparse.
Kate
It's.
Gab
It's getting there. Don't. Don't discourage the kid.
Stu
Miny is extremely pleased with his hair. Tr already.
Gab
His is thick as.
Stu
Already had to hear about that.
Donnie
No.
Nick
Numerous things I would have to actually say.
Donnie
No, he's still glaringly bald.
Stu
I think he still needs some time.
Gab
No, he needs time.
Nick
You said sick as like, you were describing your average.
Gab
I was. I was talking with respect to what it used to be my average.
Kate
How was her personality? Woman. Yeah.
Gab
But only I originally asked that question because I feel like these guys are gonna come home. Like, you ever seen the before and after pictures of like, World War I soldiers?
Nick
Probably haunting, but no, I haven't.
Gab
They're. They're very haunting.
Reed
They're like.
Gab
I feel like that's what they're gonna.
Nick
Dead behind their eyes. Yeah. Are we gonna see like, like they. Are they going to take a week off after this to, like, sleep and hydrate?
Kyle
I would.
Gab
When do they get back?
Nick
Saturday.
Donnie
Yeah, they're going to just drink more.
Nick
Yeah, they're going to come back here. Be thankful they can go, oh, I love this.
Stu
That's the problem. If you just drink for five and then sober up, you're not just hungover for a bit. You also have this, like, mental hungover where you just like, feel.
Gab
I get that.
Nick
Yeah. Five day binges sets you back.
Gab
I remember I'm in college. I don't know if this is. I'm like, this happened, but I don't know if I'm imagining that this only happened to me, but I drank for like five or seven straight days, like, heavily, like just getting faced out of my skull. And the first night I didn't, I had the most horrific nightmares I've ever had in my entire life.
Kyle
That's when I got sleep paralysis. College is after benders.
Titus
Yeah.
Stu
Yeah. I used to get Sleep paralysis like three times a year.
Gab
I get all the time.
Stu
I do too do all the time. Still.
Gab
It's to the point where I. When I know it's happening, I'm seeing all these goblins in my bedroom that I know I'm sleeping. I just ignore it. I'm like, oh, it'll, it'll end soon. Yeah, I see. I see the monster. Yeah. Not goblins, plural.
Nick
It's just one goblin.
Kate
A goblin. Maybe it's your cousin.
Nick
What is your off base cousin?
Kate
Your off face cousin has just been
Nick

Stu
Neutrophone came on board for bald stool. No, those videos are dropping the first two weeks of May.
Nick
Fantastic.
Ike
Oh, yeah.
Stu
Would still like to get you on a season three Chef Donnie.
Ike
I'm in. I'm in for season three. Let's see it.
Nick
It's fine. Yeah, that's like he's gonna go, that's textbook.
Kate
It's just gonna take no corners.
Stu
Okay, I can see.
Nick
What is that? Norwood one corners.
Gab
Yeah, it's a little Jack McCarthy in the corners.
Ike
Yeah.
Stu
Yeah.
Ike
Might as well get ahead of it.
Tate
It.
Nick
Yeah. And then.
Stu
Yeah, See, I thought, yeah, like, Pat weren't like, like they didn't need one immediately. I think they'll appreciate the fact they got one in six years.
Gab
Right.
Ike
That's what I mean. It's a preventative care.
Kyle
I think chefs are like deployment 10. Like, like chefs have a little more wiggle room, dude. Chefs.
Nick
Chefs are allowed to like have an eye patch or a missing tooth or still hot.
Kyle
Be like I just watched as an old movie chef with Jon Favreau.
Ike
Great movie.
Kyle
And I was like, like he's kind of hot to me in this cuz he's cooking. I don't know what it is. I never had a thing.
Donnie
The thing with chefs but I think
Kyle
like chefs can be a little wacky looking. But it's hot.
Nick
There you go, Donnie.
Kyle
See?
Ike
Thank you. Appreciate that.
Stu
Matty Matheson, he's a chef. Sounds like a. A weird looking dude, but sure, sure, he pulls a ton of puss.
Ike
It'd still be fun. It'd be fun to go to Turkey. And like you said, I think we were talking about going skiing before potentially.
Gab
That's why you miss it. Year last flash.
Kate
That's why he wants to go. Free trip to ski this year.
Ike
We can go ski before and then go. We can all get skis and transplants.
Kyle
Is there skiing? There's a dumb question in Turkey?
Gab
Yeah.
Stu
Yes.
Kate
Oh, there is pretty.
Ike
It's pretty good.
Stu
If I go back though, I'm trying to go in like a warm month.
Ike
Okay, that's fair enough. You can go skiing in India too.
Kyle
If anyone where is like the craziest ski resort ever.
Ike
India.
Kyle
Nevertheless, in India chaps had that question
Gab
the other day that blew my mind. The most glaciers in the world country. Do you know what it is?
Nick
Was it Pakistan?
Gab
Pakistan.
Nick
Huh?
Donnie
Pakistan's amazing.
Ike
Yeah. I mean there's ski good skiing in like Afghanistan. But India I think is the most that you can actually it's like attainable to go to and easiest access. And then craziest is the fact that the way the Indians run the ski resorts is pretty crazy.
Nick
Pretty wild. How so?
Ike
What do they do?
Donnie
Can't imagine.
Ike
I mean imagine the line system. It's. You try to get. It's pretty organized. There's. The line system doesn't exist. Just from the videos I've seen.
Nick
Is it just like.
Gab
It's just.
Nick
Is it an overcrowded people just hanging
Donnie
on to the ski lift?
Reed
Yeah.
Nick
Cramming into the train lift.
Ike
But the snow looks good out there, man. And it looks like, you know, it'd be a. It'd be a fun one. It's a. It's a battle that you did. India, though. How long were you guys in India?
Stu
I was there for maybe 10 days.
Ike
Yeah, that's where you got the sickest you've ever been. You said it was.
Stu
Oh, no, that was in the Philippines.
Ike
Okay. That was me that then. Man, I was confusing.
Donnie
Yeah.
Ike
What.
Nick
What you confused Donnie with you?
Stu
Yeah. You think so?
Ike
Well, the sickest I ever got was in India. I was just wasn't sure if that was him.
Kate
Why would you. How do you not remember that?
Ike
I do remember. I was confused whether.
Kate
Why would you. If it was him or you or you.
Nick
How do you remember Donnie? You got to admit, that's a. That's a pretty goofy one.
Ike
That was bad.
Gab
I understood what he was saying my way out.
Nick
You got to stop having his back because it doesn't have.
Gab
I speak his language a little bit, I think. Yeah.
Ike
Thanks, Dave.
Nick
We have a few more to burn through. Chevy draft season is here, which means everyone suddenly thinks they're a gm. Which is when you realize some picks just make more sense. Like having a Chevy Silverado. Silverado has the power to haul pretty much everything. Gear, grills, tailgate setups. So whether you're driving to a draft party, a road game, or towing a boat into the lake, you just need a truck with strength, reliability, and the drive to go the distance. The same DNA you'll find in a Chevy Silverado is a capable and dependable as your top tier draft pick. Silverado shows up to get the job done. It won't flinch when the pressure's on and doesn't take plays off when it comes to trucks. Make Chevy Silverado your number one overall pick. Check out the current offers and build your own ChevySilverado. Chevy.com Chevy thank you so, so much. Did. I didn't watch variables press conference before the draft yesterday, did it?
Stu
I didn't see that either.
Nick
Titus, did you or no Che, did you?
Kate
I'm trying to think of what a.
Kyle
It was like a. I read, like, the text of what he said, and it's like a classic.
Nick
So he. He admitted it, right? He's.
Kate
It was more like admitted.
Kyle
Yeah. I didn't live up to the professionalism of something. I need to be with my family.
Kate
Now he's trying to take full responsibility without even saying what he's doing. Like, I. I'm. I am taking accountability despite not saying what I did.
Nick
Racini took the route I would take. Delete Twitter.
Donnie
Yeah.
Kyle
Well, should have done it.
Kate
Crawl into a hole.
Nick
Yeah.
Ike
Move.
Nick
Move to maybe Guam.
Gab
Yeah.
Nick
Yeah, yeah.
Ike
Naming the kid. Her kid. Michael's.
Stu
Correct.
Nick
We don't know, though, if, like, maybe that was, like, his call. Maybe he picked it and she was like, Ravel's call? No, no, her husband's. Oh, how do I. Yeah.
Kate
Crazy.
Gab
I feel like it. How much input does the guy give for names?
Nick
It depends if, like, maybe his dad passed or. I don't know if there's a sentimental meeting.
Gab
Maybe Michael's just the most standard white guy name ever.
Ike
It's no electron.
Nick
You're Dave.
Stu
Yeah, but nowadays, everyone tries to have a really funky, unique name. I think it's fine if someone wants to just go with Michael.
Gab
No, no, that's fine. Yeah, it's fine. But, like, I don't know.
Reed
I.
Kyle
One of my kids middle names. Yeah.
Ike
Is it a 50? 50.
Nick
But it's first naming off.
Kyle
Yeah, that's true.
Ike
Yeah.
Stu
Yeah. I would say names. It has to be an agreement between the husband and wife. It's not like, oh, I'm just gonna let my wife name all the kids.
Ike
We could let the kid pick Titus.
Kate
Did you have the guy technically named our daughter?
Ike
Really?
Kate
I suggested it and she was like, I like that. Yeah.
Donnie
Oh, yeah.
Kate
Nice.
Ike
Yeah.
Nick
That's you.
Kate
Yeah.
Nick
Kate.
Kyle
It was a collab, okay. We were both throwing stuff out, and then we had an overlapping circle of ones that we both agreed on, and then we narrowed it down, like, together.
Ike
It'd be funny if you took part of each name and collabed one that he likes, one you like, and then combine the name together. Yeah.
Nick
All right, Donnie, let's each say a name, okay. That we like for a future tribe. We'll combine them.
Ike
Okay. Guy or girl?
Stu
1, 2, 3.
Nick
It's up to you.
Stu
Same time.
Nick
What do you want? Guy or girl?
Donnie
We'll count you down.
Nick
All right, you ready? Yeah.
Donnie
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Nick
Samson.
Ike
Cameron.
Donnie
Okay, now, Donnie, you put them together.
Ike
Samson,
Nick
I win again. I got my way.
Kyle
Sam. Apostrophe runs.
Nick
Yeah. I like Samron.
Kyle
Yeah.
Ike
Samron. Jeremy, Do a girl.
Kyle
Now do a girl.
Ike
3.
Kyle
I like this game.
Donnie
3, 2, 1.
Ike
Maryland.
Donnie
Maryland.
Ike
Mary Bell's going for Marie.
Nick
Okay. You could still go. Marie.
Ike
Marie, what was yours?
Nick
Bella Marabella.
Ike
British. Yeah.
Gab
Maribella's.
Donnie
Belly.
Stu
Belly. Belly.
Ike
Bellaria.
Nick
I don't think that's. That's not a good one.
Stu
That's when you poop out your belly button.
Nick
That's right. Yeah.
Gab
Yeah.
Ike
So if anyone wants to use those, feel free.
Kate
Did that.
Nick
Did that happen to you or other Donnie in India Color?
Ike
That happened to me. India. I was Sick for, like, four days.
Nick
How many days were you in India?
Ike
A month.
Kate
How'd you hear Name you just, like, once you started working for Donnie?
Gab
Yeah.
Ike
Common misconception, Mark.
Nick
It's a. It's an Elton John thing.
Tate
Right?
Nick
Didn't Elton John take, like, his bassist's name? Oh, he's like, yeah, me too.
Ike
No, Donnie and I are both independently. Not Donnie's at the same time.
Gab
Why did you go with the wife?
Ike
I don't know. That's just how I chose to spell it. And he went I, E. Did you
Gab
misspell it originally and just kept the company.
Stu
Which is why I'm fine. If you want to just call me Wonton, we can simply.
Nick
That's what I typically do.
Stu
Because most people do not know that you spell mine with a I, E.
Ike
Yours with a Y. Yeah, yeah.
Stu
I mean, they're both fake names at the end.
Ike
It's true.
Nick
Did you test any other names out before Donnie?
Ike
No, I.
Nick
What's your rap name?
Stu
Z. Stu.
Nick
Okay. That's pretty good.
Ike
Don't your friends still call you Stu, though?
Stu
Yeah, my friends from high school. Most of them call me Stu. And I got some friends from college that call me Stu. But there already is a barstool stew.
Donnie
There's. Well, this is interesting.
Nick
I love what's happening.
Donnie
I had no idea your name wasn't digging what's happening.
Nick
I really, truly. It's like Chris Angel.
Gab
He does look like he's gonna start levitating.
Nick
Oh, he's done.
Kyle
That was.
Gab
That was it over there for.
Nick
There was a man that looks like a sailor crossed
Donnie
a striped mime.
Nick
The sailor has just, like.
Donnie
He just posed like Jesus in the middle of the court.
Nick
Yeah, like that statue in Brazil.
Ike
Well, that's the autographed. That's the art department that builds all of our sets, so they.
Donnie
Could that be.
Ike
I know.
Nick
Building a statue.
Ike
I don't know. A Jesus asked what could that be?
Kyle
Sprinkle of steampunk aura about him is like a cool.
Ike
Oh, I love a steampunk.
Nick
I do, too, Donnie. I really do.
Kate
What does that mean?
Reed
You don't.
Gab
Aesthetic.
Ike
Steampunk. It's an aesthetic.
Kate
A steampunk. What does that mean? I just said. You said, I love a steampunk. And, like, you love the aesthetic. You love, like, a person who is steampunk.
Ike
A woman.
Nick
You like a steampunk woman?
Ike
Yeah, sometimes.
Nick
You're looking for a steampunk gal.
Ike
I'm looking for. To be hon. I'm looking for a woman in stem. But steampunk Would be fine.
Kyle
What?
Nick
What?
Stu
Oh really?
Nick
You're looking for a woman in stem?
Kate
Yeah.
Stu
So you. Yeah. You want to find STEM is kind of everything smarter than you?
Ike
No. Yeah. Science, technologies and. And mathematics.
Stu
Engineering.
Ike
And mathematics.
Stu
And mathematics.
Nick
Yen. But like Donnie, you want a woman in stem? Are you searching in the right place?
Ike
No. God no. You know, it'd be nice because he's women in stem.
Nick
Dante hiring any STEM women?
Ike
I would just ask questions like, you know, if I had an astronomer girlfriend,
Nick
I'd say, so what's you with an astronomer girlfriend? Be perfect.
Ike
The going on up there all the time.
Nick
Orion's belt.
Ike
It's constantly constant conversation.
Nick
Would you date an astronaut?
Ike
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Stu
That's a dream.
Nick
I know one.
Gab
She'd be like, that's a dream.
Ike
Cuz you can bang in zero GS.
Stu
So few.
Nick
I don't know if that'll be good banger thinking. I think you need weight.
Stu
Maybe you could figure it out.
Ike
We could try kind of just.
Stu
You could easily just move her up and down.
Nick
I don't know if it would fly.
Stu
Be like it's almost like human sized flashlight.
Kyle
But you would need to be anchored to something.
Ike
You could test it in the water. That's how they train.
Nick
That's not fun. No.
Ike
Yeah, yeah, don't do that. Never mind.
Kyle
That would be in the water, not holding on to anything. If you're just floating right.
Nick
And underwater. I'd get sick.
Ike
Well, you get sick doing anything.
Nick
Yeah.
Stu
Mainly just boats.
Nick
Boats every time.
Stu
And eating bread.
Nick
Boats and bread.
Ike
The two bees.
Connor Griffin
Those are.
Kate
Yeah, That's the ones.
Nick
Just the two beats.
Kate
How are you gonna go about finding a woman instead, Donnie? How are you gonna make this dream?
Ike
I would say like just hang out in college, but that's a weird thing. That's for the teachers. You're on for the professors, not the students. You want to date.
Nick
A professor.
Ike
The TAs, the. The in between. TNA. 30 year old TA.
Kyle
Have you ever seen out in the city? Every now and then in New York City, there'd be just a guy on the corner or near the parks with a telescope, like a portable telescope. And it was like part of a program where they'd show you. Like you'd be walking by and some stranger with a telescope be like, you want to look at the moon? And I'd be like, absolutely. Yeah.
Ike
That's awesome.
Kyle
Happened to me a few times. You set up outside.
Nick
You are so gettable.
Kyle
I know in hindsight, as I'm saying it out loud, I'm like, like maybe that was a trap. I got to see Jupiter and the moon and stuff. Anyway, you set up outside a bar and you pretend like you can't figure it out. A lady in STEM's gonna come out and be like, do you need any help?
Ike
I like this.
Kyle
I'm an astronomer.
Ike
I actually. I've asked for my. On my Christmas list for a telescope for the last two years. Never got it.
Gab
I got one for Christmas when I was like 10. It was sweet.
Kate
Who are you submitting your Christmas list to? You're a single man.
Nick
Yeah.
Donnie
What do you.
Kate
Who are you? What does that mean? I shall have a Christmas. Do you probably do that somewhere.
Ike
I'm too old to make me want to get a Christmas.
Kate
Where do you submit. That nails it to the North Pole.
Nick
Do you write it out?
Donnie
You write it with your hand.
Kate
You write out a list.
Ike
I make a. A short list.
Kate
Yeah.
Ike
Yeah. Now I used to submit it to the big man. Now it's just the parents, but every
Nick
year they're like, what do you want?
Ike
I'm like, I. I don't care. It doesn't matter. And then this is the first year I was like, a telescope would be cool.
Stu
They're like, like, get it.
Ike
They said no. And then I just got socks and underwear.
Nick
A damn. Yeah.
Ike
But tell.
Gab
That's all I wanted.
Ike
Kate, that's a good idea.
Kyle
Yeah.
Ike
That's better than hanging around science fairs.
Kate
STEM girls look like Dave's cousin, though. Yeah, that's consider traditionally, though.
Donnie
Ah.
Ike
Depends.
Kate
Yeah. Guess you're right.
Ike
Or I could just get. I could go to the hospital a
Nick
lot, find a nurse.
Ike
Well, yeah, nurse would be. That's technically stem.
Stu
The lowest.
Ike
No, I didn't say that. I didn't. I didn't say that. I didn't say that.
Donnie
There's a steampunk eye doctor on YouTube that is there? Actually, yeah, I use it.
Ike
Yeah, send me that.
Nick
What do you mean you use it?
Donnie
I use it for. Yeah, I guess I watch it, but it's more of an experience.
Nick
Can you find us the steampunk?
Donnie
I use it to regulate my central nervous.
Nick
We might have enough pool to get you a dude date with a steampunk eye doctor.
Ike
Well, the lady that.
Donnie
I think you could pull a great steam.
Ike
You know. You know Michael from Vsauce.
Nick
Yes, of course.
Ike
Okay. Ever he does a podcast now with a woman in STEM who's seems very nice. I don't know.
Nick
What's her name?
Ike
I forget.
Nick
Okay.
Ike
She just does the math and it looks great.
Nick
Would you like to watch her do Math?
Ike
Oh yeah, I do. I watch videos of people doing like complex problems. I watch things I can never even comprehend.
Nick
There's this like young Harvard professor I watch doing advanced game theory and I love it. I don't cons, I don't absorb a single thing.
Ike
But it's great.
Nick
Yeah, great.
Ike
See, that's what I would do if I had a girlfriend that did stem just.
Nick
But the girls you're dating aren't doing math.
Ike
I'd watch them do math. No, simple math though. Very like that's useful math.
Nick
But like, is that a thing? Like do you try to like set them up to do math to see how they are at it?
Ike
Like I play 301 with girls and we do math that way.
Nick
Is that darts?
Ike
Yeah.
Nick
Is this her? Kyle?
Ike
Oh, you weren't kidding.
Donnie
That's her.
Nick
Wait, wait, this is just asmr. She's not a real eye doctor.
Kyle
AI.
Donnie
Well, that's what I was saying. That's what, that's what I meant when I say I use. Use it.
Nick
But I don't think she's an actual in stem.
Reed
No.
Nick
Okay.
Donnie
No, but no. Yeah, you.
Kate
Can you imagine? That was a real thing. Is that real? Was. Is that even a real woman?
Kyle
I don't know.
Nick
She didn't look real at all.
Ike
Could have been AI.
Donnie
I don't care.
Ike
That'd be nice though. A themed doctor instead of, you know, get the traditional lab code. A steampunk doctor to mix things. If I was a doctor, that's how I would drive.
Nick
I don't know if I would feel good as a patient.
Ike
If you had a goofy doctor. Yeah, it's a good point.
Kyle
I saw a post from a woman who went to a gynecologist and the whole room was like Harley Davidson stuff
Nick
all over the wall.
Kyle
I don't know.
Ike
Yeah, I don't know. You know what? On second thought, yeah. Doctor should be boring.
Nick
I think so. No, it isn't boring. Donnie.
Ike
Something. You're on a plug.
Nick
Nascar.
Donnie
Yes.
Nick

Kyle
I think Spider's gonna be there.
Nick
Spider got me in nascar.
Ike
I went to Tall Dago. It's awesome, Nick.
Nick
And you're.
Donnie
What, are you betting on it and.
Nick
Yeah, it's fun. Yeah, it's fun, but it also rips my heart out.
Kate
I know.
Nick
NASCAR had overtime.
Ike
Yeah, they do.
Nick
Yeah.
Ike
Crazy. I didn't know that either.
Donnie
How. What would warrant overtime?
Nick
I guess I don't know, but I
Donnie
just thought I had.
Nick
I bet a guy that won and then just 10 extra laps. He came in 20 20th.
Ike
Oh, they do that. Like, they add stuff. It's kind of like soccer. They have extra time with. For injuries.
Nick
I learned that out.
Ike
They have too much caution time. They'll add time.
Kate
Yeah.
Stu
We went to a race down in
Ike
Mexico City that was unbelievable that. The Mexico City. I didn't spend enough time there. You've done a couple stints down there, right?
Stu
Yeah, just two.
Ike
Okay.
Stu
Both for nascar. One to promote the race and one to watch the race.
Nick
But I'm going to a bachelor party down there. That's cool.
Stu
It'd be a great spot for that.
Ike
Yeah.
Stu
Just don't get the tiger burger.
Nick
I don't think I found a guy like me.
Stu
Yeah. Yeah.
Nick
Made of tiger.
Stu
Yeah.
Nick
It can't be.
Ike
No, it was.
Stu
There's this, like, market there, so I filmed a little. Whoa, that's weird. Video. And I got a lion steak and a tiger burger.
Nick
Are they allowed to kill those?
Stu
I guess.
Nick
Also, those aren't in Mexico, are they?
Stu
They have, like, farms down there where they're, like, raised sustainably. And I guess it's legal. I mean, I don't condone it.
Ike
Yeah.
Stu
Definitely not worth it. But if I had to pick the line, steak was a little, little bit better than the tiger.
Kate
How much was it? How many? Like, I can't imagine they have a lot of tiger meat.
Stu
It was in the country.
Kate
Not expensive, but really wasn't that expensive.
Nick
Was it cut with beef, maybe?
Stu
The lion steak looked fairly fresh. It. It wasn't good. It was just super tough and chewy. The tiger burger looks like it had been in the freezer for maybe 10 years.
Nick
Okay.
Ike
And you ate this right before we got on a flight?
Stu
Yes.
Nick
That's.
Reed
Oh, my gosh.
Stu
Yeah.
Ike
Gamble. That's a game.
Nick
That's a huge gamble. When we went to Alaska, we had, what, bear?
Stu
Yeah, I think that guy did service.
Nick
Yeah, he had bear, but it could Only be roadkill, which I didn't.
Stu
Yeah, love.
Nick
And it was. Okay. I would rather had to.
Stu
I guess if you eat bear meat and they've been eating a lot of blueberries, it's got a blue, like, tint to it, and then it's got like a kind of a nice berry aftertaste.
Ike
I thought bears were riddle of Paris.
Nick
They are. They have to, like, cut it with beef berries or.
Kyle
Bears. Bears.
Nick
Bears. Bears.
Ike
Bears. Bears, Bears.
Nick
Another fear for Kate.
Ike
I heard bear paw soup is, like, the way to do it if you're
Stu
gonna make bear moose lip stew as well. Yeah, that.
Ike
I could see that up for us. Lips are delicious
Nick
Gab you have ready?
Kyle
Let's get out of here.
Nick
Donnie's craving lips. We got
Ike
boys.
Nick
Thank you for coming in.
Ike
Thank you.
Kate
Great way to end it.
Nick
What? What's the taste of lips?
Ike
Just spin the wheel.
Kate
Oh,
Nick
no, no, no, no, no, no.
Kyle
Big cat's not here.
Ike
We can't do without Big Cat.
Kyle
He doesn't have to.
Titus
What is reverse?
Nick
We Everybody but one person.
Ike
No.
Nick
What? We have have to do it.
Kyle
That was miserable the other day. Oh, I had to pick my kid up from school in man pants. I found from around here just a giant pair of. Enormous pair of pants.
Gab
Do any of the moms around the neighborhood ever ask you, like, what the were you guys doing? And you have to, like, feel gu.
Donnie
Not coming back messy all the time?
Gab
No, I like, I don't know, like a clip. Reaches almost just.
Nick
Just haven't changed yet.
Stu
Oh, I guess he's just asking, do your neighbors, like, follow your comments?
Gab
Yeah, that's what I'm asking.
Kyle
No, I don't think so.
Stu
Okay.
Gab
Do you hide it from them? Are you ashamed?
Kyle
Not ashamed or anything, but I just. It just like, doesn't come up.
Nick
Yeah, so.
Kyle
And I'm not like, look at this. So does it come up for you with your neighbors? Anybody?
Ike
Yeah, but yeah.
Stu
Yep, it's come up.
Kyle
Yeah, I'm sure.
Nick
I think we have to do this.
Kyle
Yeah.
Nick
Titus, you're in charge.
Kyle
Oh, this.
Ike
Titus.
Nick
I think Kate has seniority.
Kate
I think we do it Monday, I think.
Ike
Yeah, Monday.
Kate
I think that's how we did it last time. And that's because the. The whole point was they were wet the whole show.
Nick
Oh, yeah.
Kyle
Oh, yeah, that'd be Link.
Nick
Oh, yeah.
Kate
I thought that was the. The Wheel of Revamp we were doing.
Ike
Yeah, and it's Brandon's idea.
Gab
He's not even here.
Ike
You guys should have to wait for him.
Donnie
We're doing it Monday.
Kyle
Yeah. That's true. You.
Gab
I'm actually a little disappointed Brandon's not here. I'm supposed to help him raise his children based on our last convo on the yak.
Nick
Oh, yeah. That hasn't happened yet, and I think he's been kind of dropping the ball when it comes to father.
Gab
Well, Brandon, I'm going to whip him into shape.
Kate
Part step one. Brandon's not with his children. Like, he's. He's traveling.
Nick
Would you go up there?
Kate
And they need a father right now. You should just go up there now and just start.
Gab
Yeah.
Nick
All right.
Gab
You mow the lawn. You go pick up all the dogs.
Ike
Yeah, yeah.
Kate
I think.
Gab
Get out of line. You get to.
Kate
You know, I think we do it Monday.
Gab
Smack them around.
Kyle
You're going. Go be Brandon's kids.
Nick
Okay, Have a good weekend, everybody. We'll do that first. We're not doing that.
Stu
Okay.
Nick
No, no. We want to be wet for the whole show. But you're still on the wheel.
Kate
You're still on the wheel.
Gab
Shop or do a Yankee Bob is the act.
Tate
It's the act.
Kyle
Hey, guys, TJ Will be back on Monday, and hopefully I'm not here, so I won't get wet, but see ya.
This episode of The Yak features the regular crew (Kyle aka KBNoSwag, Nick, Kate, Donnie, Gab, Ike, Stu, Reed, Titus, and guests) discussing a wild array of topics, from baseball fandom and awkward White Sox chatter, to a heated debate about content boundaries, spring break house hijinks, and the curious case of Dude Perfect allegedly ripping off Lil Sas' viral video. The tone is raucously casual, with the classic Barstool energy: stories, ribbing, and pithy observations. The episode also samples life in the Barstool content machine, with reality TV-style shenanigans and an ongoing conversation about the line between good content and exploiting coworkers.

This episode showcases everything that defines The Yak: sharp, irreverent humor; tight-knit group dynamics; and an endless loop of inside jokes, content critique, and self-aware commentary on the pressures of performing for an audience. There’s a hilarious meta-analysis of what makes for “good” Barstool content—and how sometimes doing nothing is the right move. The butt plug and Dude Perfect storylines serve as the episode’s thematic anchors, but it's the relentless tangents—ranging from dentistry to steampunk romantic interests—that provide The Yak’s signature chaotic entertainment.
Great for listeners who love Barstool’s style, enjoy reality TV ruin, want to understand internet content factory pressures, or just crave unfiltered banter.
