It was foggy, too. That was foggy. What does Fields of Abernathy sound like? Athenry. Is Athenry by a lonely harbor wall. Nobody. Why do you know all the old Irish sad songs? That's what I sing to my kids at night. You sing Athenry to your kids? And he got murdered by the baby. Smashed in by the English with his teeth all over town. So what's the. What's the foggy do then? That's a sad. Look up the Chieftain's album. Sinead o' Connor really rip your heart out with that one. It's sad. Do you sing that to your kids, too? Out of the Foggy. Do you sound pretty good when you sing. Yeah. Thank you. Are you sneaky Irish, dude? I have a Celtic tramp stamp above my asshole. I've never seen your. Yeah, Brandon, have you seen my duh? I've never. Why do you think I've seen your ass? You've never looked around when you're railing. I am shocked. You haven't even tried. I was just about to say I would not be shocked. Just like, once when he first started. Like, how did you not know she's Irish? All her stories are huge. Family. They're all wasted. Yeah, I don't know. I know. That's an Irish stereotype. She's guilty all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But are you, like, super Irish? Like my skin. I got pretty. I've gotten spots taken off already. You're 100 Irish, aren't you? Pretty much. Well, yeah. 100 can't be pretty much. I believe so, yes. You're just being intentionally vague right now. And I'm not judging. If some of my great greats had some rogue. Okay. All right. I don't know what they're doing. I don't know what I am. I. I don't know. I have no idea Past. What My grandfather. What? What? Southern people don't care. We don't care. I think they don't want to look. All have lineage. We're just white. We're American whites. I was one of the. There's like Northeast, like Irish Catholic. We make it our it up until like my mid-20s, it was like a huge part of my identity. Yeah. And then my actual family from Galway was like, cut it out. Yeah. They don't appropriate it. You're a plaque. They call plastic patties. Plastic patties. Yeah. You're like a wannabe. Was your house decorated in Irish emblems and big. I was telling somebody yesterday. I've talked about it on here before. My parents threw like the biggest St. Patrick's Day party in town every year. But your parents threw the biggest everything party in town. All your stories. Are you going behind the shed while they get drunk in the driveway? You know when your parents are hammered in beach chairs on the lawn? Yeah. Yeah. Plastic patty is a slang expression sometimes used as a derogatory term for a member of Irish diaspora who places great importance on Irishness. Have you been to Ireland? Yes, a few times. And is it like, like. I know it's like a joke. They don't love it when people are going back there, going to see family or tracing their roots or my grandmother's from this town. They don't mind. They don't really care. We have family. I still talk to all the time, like in the DMs. I have family in Galway that we've visited that I think are awesome. And they. I think they kind of look at us like, okay, nerds, but they're nice. So you have relatives that are 100% Irish right now? Yeah. Not in America. Back. Do the people in Ireland like your Celtic tramp stamp while they're fucking you in the. All of Ireland. Yes. All of Ireland is very. The ones who keep their eyes open. There's actually old sad Irish songs about it. Looking through the eyes. Coming on the stamp. And we're coming on the stamp. Yeah, yeah, that. I didn't even realize that was made up. Sounded like a real one. Coming at a stamp. Yes. That dude's puffing out his pipe as he had in a fifth leaf to the clover. Anyway, that and more. My special comes out. Eastern Joey Every lot in San Francisco. That's on your YouTube, I believe. Correct. Be on my YouTube. I'll post a link after the episode. Anybody else Irish? Yeah. Danny. What are you? I'm about like 70 Irish. Yeah. Daniel Conrad. I'm like you, Brandon. I have no idea. I have no idea. As far back as I've traced it, it's Indiana. Yeah. I can get to western Clay county in Mississippi. That's as far as I can go. But is that like, your parents? That's my grandparents. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't go past 1920. We every wedding reception. Like, half the songs are Irish songs. Not kidding. I'll stand around like, chanting them. It's a whole. So St Patrick's Day a huge deal to you. Yes, normally not. Not these days. The rap fuckers and all is at Irish. Yes. Pat. Yeah. Should we do like a 23andMe thing and just fully lean into whatever culture? Yes. It turns out, like, I'm German. I just like, yeah. My people, you know. Yeah. Okay. I'm actually. That would be cool to do like a commitment day with the hats. Style hats. I'm actually glad you asked that question because I've always been curious about 23andMe. How does it work? They collect data on you have your DNA. Yeah. And then they don't. Didn't they get busted? They can frame you for crying. They definitely don't do anything bad with it. Okay. I don't know. No, you get to. You get. You send in your blood. You send it. Yeah. Well, how does the blood interact with the computer? If you swab your mouth. Swab your mouth. It's also. They can use it, like, if you have never been entered into. Sorry I'm late. By the way, if you've never been entered into DNA database. Like, if you commit a crime, they can now use it in. Like, they can be like, oh, well, you're. Here's your dad's DNA. Here's your mom's DNA. Oh, you did the crime. Yeah, I think that was the. Was that the guy in Idaho? Was it? Did he. Is that how he got. Oh, we'll do a rain check on that. Like, I think he never was on any database. He'd never been arrested. But they were able to. That's crazy. Cross reference crazy. That's crazy. To be a murderer and be like, but I do want to know where I'm from. It's a risk I'm willing to take. Yeah. I know people who have found family members, like, they didn't realize grandpa was a dog. Oh, yeah. And, like, sired some, you know, illegitimate kids and they've, like, invited this person to, like, family events now. Well, isn't that how that one creepy doctor got caught? Like. Oh, yeah. Using his sperm on, like, three. Yeah. The Indiana doctor. Yeah. Titus, That's. That Was it? Could be. Yeah. Like a lady was like, I have 400 brothers and sisters. What the fuck? And he didn't even. He wasn't even fucking him. He was just putting it in there. Yeah. So what's the. I think he had, like some weird fantasy of, you know, siring all these children. It's like modern day Genghis Khan. Yeah, right. So bizarre. Except it was just like Indiana town. Yeah. Where everyone worked at the Subway. He's got a lot of sandwich artists to his name. You nailed it. That's it. That's what we do. That's what we do in Indiana. That's how we do. Yeah. That's your culture, Titus. Yeah, that's right. That is my lineage. Those are my people. How's everyone doing? We ready for the curling match today? Oh, yeah. Double or nothing. Don't think Donnie understands. Double or nothing. I don't think Donnie understands anything. No. Did it. Did a dinah win last night? They did. Three to one. Woo. Boys were buzzing. Oh, there's the. That's huge. Really? This was a cool moment for me. That banner. He might kill you. That's a beautiful moment. Yeah. Does he know that it's 100? His jersey now? I haven't talked to him since I confirmed it, but, yeah, I sent you guys. Yeah. Yeah. I was DMing with the guy who sold it to me and he was. Word got to him that we were talking about it on the show. And then he was just telling me the story of how he got the jersey, how he proved that it's his. He sent me all these screenshots, all this. All this video evidence. This he did. It was just like, on. I wasn't even asking for it. I was just like, cool, man, thanks. And he's like. And another thing. I was like, yeah, thanks, man. He's like. And another thing to keep in mind is. And he just kept going. And I was like, this is crazy. The moment I knew that it was Donnie's jersey was when he said, they do let the players buy their jerseys if they want them. He might have missed the deadline for that, though. Yeah. That's it, Right? He's closed. Donnie did miss the deadline. He missed the deadline. No doubt about that. Yeah. I love that guy. Saying it was hard to find an on ice photo of him. Yeah. Brutal. Oh, man. Yeah, he's got it all down. A little too much shoulder. Yeah, A little. A little too. This is dialed in. Yeah. Zoom in on the boy life. Yeah. Yeah. And then he said he sent me links to all like these games that were posted on YouTube that have, like, 300 views. I don't know how he found them. Yeah. Yeah. So I didn't really care if it was his or not. I wanted to control them. But it's 100 his. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It was already his. Enough for. For. I wanted the idea of it being his. Get under his skin. But now I have confirmation it is 100%. Whatever. Even if he has a full warehouse of jerseys. So none of those are his. So the question remains, what does he have? Nothing. I don't think he has. I don't think he has any. Parents are just lying to him. Yeah, his parents are putting him off. Yeah, we put it in storage. They have no idea where anything is. Storage in another state. This was the video they did. Wait, 2015. There he is. No, wait. Is he getting clowned? Oh, is that real? Yeah, it is. Yeah. That was their cheer video from 2015. Varsity only allowed. Here are the boys. Yep. Some abs, huh? And one more. Sophie and Ed. Bang. Oh, yeah. Donnie, does he have lines? Yeah. Yeah. Benny, wake up. We gotta go home, man. What? When's the video? We finished the video, dude. It's over. I'm going home. What? What? Oh, yeah, that's good. Does he know you found that? I don't think so. Yeah. Oh, he's gonna be so heated today. Wait, what? Nice. Nice. Was he getting clowned? Constantly. All right. Those are actually Maddie's pants. These are Maggie's pants. I took Maddie's pants. All right. What? Why did they film that? I don't know. What was that? The editor wasn't that. We watched it at length. That was an extra instructional video where they taught their fans what to cheer in the stands. Got it. And the cheer was Hornets, Hornets, Hornets. Yeah, that's what they taught him. Can I hear that again? Hornets. Hornets, Hornets. Oh, that's good. It's not bad. Might have been Hornets. Hornets, Hornets, Hornets. So the video wasn't very good. Wasn't very good. But it could have just been Hornets. Hornets. Could be. What can you do to get revenge on you? Is there anything. Oh, he's. He's so far behind. Well, I was thinking about this because I, I, That's. I do. Yeah. I do kind of want him to give revenge on me insofar as, like, I want this to continue. You want it to be a rivalry. Right now it's a blowout. Yeah. Yeah. So I do want him to put together a nice little run. The problem is I feel like his revenge is just going to be like taking a on my car. Right. You know, like it's going to be slashing your tires, flashing my tires, or there's a piece of lumber through your windshield. I wonder who this could have been. Yeah. Because the ideas I heard him brainstorming were he. He walked up to Connor Griffin and he was just like, do you have one of Titus's jerseys? And I was like, Donnie, I don't know if that's gonna. Where's this? Is that really gonna hit? If you that would encounter. Yeah, he seems like he's always this rivalry. He's gonna, he's just gonna perpetually be like three steps behind. Yeah, I think so. You're gon. Next thing he's going to still be looking for one of your jerseys. Right. When he could just buy an Ohio State jersey with your number. Right. And say it's your jersey. Done that. Well, the problem is I don't think his anger is too much. He can't get clear headed enough to launch a proper attack. That's why the only way he's going to attack is just. Yeah. Setting something on fire. A crime. A crime. Yeah. He's going to commit a crime on me and my loved ones. That's okay. And that's part of the game. I understand that. I had to sit my family down and explain it to him. Lateral. They're in the, they're in the firing range right now. I wonder where he is. By the way, the poker boys both busted yesterday. Oh, they're in the tournament today. Oh, wait, did they not m did well. Oh, he did. He finished sixth. Oh, that Miy won like $1,400. Oh yeah, I saw the one where he's like Ethan out. Yeah. But Miny Miy finished six out of 92 players, I think. Oh, what do you win? $1,400. Got six out of 92 players for 1407. That's really good. Yeah, he put in work last night. Damn it. Ethan was out so fast. Ethan was out quick. He's probably out of the next tournament already. Is the other tournament going on right now? It is. So tell me how this works. They. They have a bunch of tournaments leading up to the tournament. No idea. Me either. And then you can buy back in. Sometimes the World Series of Poker is like a tourist. The, the event you're thinking of is the World Series of Poker main event. Sure. Kind of fucked up. Tweet that update. Is he. How is he Destroyer a lot. I kind of like that he's Destroyer. Is there a hashtag I thought I caught a destroyer. Hashtag he. Yeah, not in that one, but in a different one. Brutal for Ethan. Out. He's out. Very out. You guys are gonna see. He's gonna show you. Oh, I'll show you destroyer 2026. Click that. It's the new version. The year of destroyer. It's probably some awesome weapon we shot at Iran or. That would be. Yeah. Yeah. I'm guessing the recap video isn't out yet. It's just him. Huh? These are his recap videos. Oh, it's just him. I'm going start doing recap videos. The poker tournament. I put tournaments, I play. We'll try to keep them quick. We'll try to dumb down the language as much as I can for people. Re. They don't. They don't is what it is. All right. First poker tournament of 2026. I played the $500. Oh, it's just like he's 500,000. Him saying like, no, there's no clips, there's no graphics. It's just him explaining the next day what the poker tournament. I played him yesterday was. Was that a real soft table? Definitely thought I was the best player. And I'm not like cocky. I mean, I. I'll tell you, Destroyer is not. Destroyer is not cocky. Arrogance. Not in destroyers. Humble man. That probably like 48k doing pretty good early. Yeah. I'm Bo already. There's like. I know that I am also. I'm also like guilty of this because, like, no one wants to hear about your bets. But there's something about poker talk that like, I instantly just. My brain just shuts off. Yeah. Cuz I can't. I think it's just visual and I can't follow along. Like when they start talking like eight, you know, I had a four on the third button they use. I'm just like. I don't know, a little off putting. Yeah. Because they know they're talking to an audience who doesn't quite understand. Yeah. Still use that terminology. Just tell me if you're mad or not. See, this is the. This is the time. These are the type. What even happened yesterday, I don't know. But now I see. All I know is that we move. He's playing injured. That's a good recap. Yeah, that's a good believable. His newest update, he's playing injured. What do you mean? You got cigarette smoke in his eye. Oh, no, he looks bad. Smoking a quick cigarettes before the main event. And I have gotten smoke in my left eye. This is My horse. I'm pretty much going to be playing blind, so there's that. We move. I need to, I need to start signing them to contracts and have like injury outs for me. You stub your toe on the day of the main event, you owe me all the money. Back. Back. That's crazy. Yeah. Little cigarette smoke. How does that happen more often? Yeah, I mean you can't count camps in. Can we train one of our best boys to know how to play poker and go to these things? Cuz we send absolute creatures we, we don't have. We have a lot of creatures. Yeah, we got a couple best boys. I don't know what you're picking from. I bet you that whole tournament. Who you talking about? What do you have in mind? Who, who is our best boy? Probably Joey. Yeah, you got to be your guy. Who Godamn. What are we going to do? Jack, take off your hat. Take off your hat, Jack. Oh, they're not watching. They must be watching war. Oh no, they're or they're watching. Yeah. There's basketball on too. What if we rent like contractors? Yeah. Jack, take off your hat. Hey Jack. Jack, take the hat off. Jack. Boo. Oh, there's Donnie. Yeah. Here, we'll start at one. I. Max wants to be. Max is busy till one and he's like, I have to be a stone again. He's a good stone. Yeah. So he was like, I, I. Could you please wait? I was like, abs, I think I want to be a stone. So fun. It's double or nothing. But what's more than anything, what's the double? What's Donnie not? Donnie doesn't have anything, right? Oh, he has, he has his away jersey. He doesn't have it though. He's putting up the wager. I'm saying he's just. Well, you're in a no lose. I mean even like what. So you're gonna. If you lose today, you lose something that he never even had. Never even had in the first place. And it also just say double or nothing again. And if you win, you just, you just keep, keep holding it over his head. Yeah. Have him sign it for you. Yeah, but I want to be a rock. Because the way you guys talk about it. So fun, dude. Yeah, sounds so fun. He want to just push each other in a chair. After we were doing it yesterday conjoined where like we had like a train of like five rocks connected all thrown as like one caterpillar. That was very exciting. I saw you boys just hanging out, just having a great time. That's what it's all about. We also. Dj, did you hear the update that. How much Was this target? $2,000. Yep. And we now have to move it. What? Yeah, because it's just directly over the body armor logo. Can it be. They pay for. Can it be put back down? Not that one. We have to just spend another $2,000 somewhere else. Why can't. So we're gonna do that. Why? Yeah, we did put it directly on a body armor logo. We're putting it by the ping pong table next. Can I ask a question? Why. Why do we need to buy another. What do you mean? Why can't we. There's a circle in the middle of the court. Yeah, that's true. But this one is official. You know that. I do know that. That's my. Could do the circle in the middle of the. We had a circle the whole time. We've had a circle the whole time. What company is that? Yeah, they're. They are making out Stickers R Us. I don't know. What if you just. Who's buying them idiots over it? No, they make like, signs. Graphics. Like a signage company. Yeah, it makes sense. They actually clean up signage companies. Their goal is to make 20250 a year. Yeah. And this has been a good year. They just doubled it because we put it on top of one of our other logos. Didn't think that one through. What? That thing doesn't come up or. I think if you start peeling it, it's gonna all like. I don't know. They. They sell 20 250. $1 use targets, correct? Yep. Incredible business. Yeah. You can make any sign you want. Yeah. Like, I think they make any sign. Yeah. Interesting. They make custom graphics. All right. Yeah, I know. We were told if we use tape, it would damage the floor, so we had to use vinyl. What if this was Chef Donny Court? Yeah. You know how they do the courts? Or like Coach K Court. Yeah, signs. But it's. We'd have to put a picture of them. Put a picture. It'd have to be a Donnie Dome. Really embarrassing picture. Embarrassing picture. Misspell his name. He hates it when I hate. He hates Donnie the I. E. Oh, hates it. He hates when his fake name is misspelled. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Chef Donnie from. If it's not his name. Because he was Donnie's guy, right? No, but I don't. Then he just took his name. I think it's Donnie before Donnie. Well, no, Donnie was Donnie. Donnie's not Donnie. Donnie's not Donnie. But Donnie was Donnie. Donnie's Zach. Andrew. Yeah, he got the nickname when he was in high school. He would go to the school and his friends called him Don as like a. As like a joke. Joke. It was, you know, as high school boys that he was just the Don. He carried himself like a don. And one time he was in class and a teacher asked what he was acting up and they asked, what's your name? And he just said, I'm Don. And then it became Donnie. And then that went away. It went, wow. How much research did you. I did a lot of research on this. You're the worst enemy in the world. And that's. That's the story there. It was high school. I was sort of his nickname. And it stuck. And it got to a point where, honestly, nobody calls me Andrew anymore. They just all call me Donnie. Then that just kind of became my name. I'm just really glad we're friends. So you go home from work and do this. It's either this or spend time with my babies. Yeah, right. You're gonna do. Not now, babe. Busy. No, it excites me. He completes you. It's crazy. You have a glow. Yeah. On air. The last days. I mean, I don't know, I'm like kind of dealing with the midlife crisis right now and searching for purpose and I think I found it. Yeah? Yeah. You thought the child would do it, right? No, that's a 30 year old, 29 year old, legally. 29 year old man named Donnie. Not named Donnie. I just feel he's everything for you. I need something. I think you're yearning for him to sweep you off your feet with. With like a prank, right? Oh, yeah. You want him to. I want him to. Like a good one. Yeah, like really, really, like really shoot. Like a nice month long, like slow play. Yes, you want to. But again, I'm worried that that's gonna be. He doesn't have that in his bag. Like. Yeah, I might have to help him out. Yeah, I might have. I might help him. Yeah, yeah. Prank yourself. But it can't work because as good as it is, you're just gonna be happy and proud. I know. Which is the worst response. No, I mean, if he catches me off guard. Well, yeah, you're right. I will just be proud. Unless. Yeah. You have the entire town. History of a dino. You know everything about him. And a dino. How can he catch you off guard? That's true. He has to invent a time machine and go back and prevent your birth or something. Yeah, that's it possible. I'm starting to think Mark was the hypnotist. Yeah. Never goes in the same room. You did come to New York a couple times. I did. I pop in. Yeah, go. Go find those videos. Is there like a. Am I in the background in New York in like 2022 or something? Yeah. And me and Donnie are interacting and I didn't even realize it. I don't know. Who's to say? Who's to say? Well, you also own. That's baseball. Yeah. Yeah. That was weird. You don't even need that. I'll give that one to the streets. You get fight over that. I can't get over Dana. Just like, he's so bad at this. Just being like that. That's baseball is mine. And then a minute later being like, you know, as the. That's baseball guys say. Not good. That speech he gave yesterday with Lucas was so perfect until he turned and saw it was Lucas. Yeah. You gotta clip this and send this to the home by three guys. This is what you win. No, hustle him. Yeah, this is. That's baseball, guys. Oh, no. Dana, He's a good enemy to have. That's just. He keeps it light. FCS opponent in week one. Yeah. Yeah. Tj Are we waiting for Don Gorski to try to call in? Yes. I bought his book. Oh, hello. It's over there. I gave it to Joey. It's. It's. Yeah, it's a. Oh, it's big. It's a big log. It's not really a story. It's just. It's almost like one sentence of every day. Oh, give us a day. Well, let me do an ad and give us what is the variety.

I still haven't done my Chinese workout yet. I. I just opened to a random page right before we started and it was the day of his 4,000th Big Mac. Okay, read it to us. I actually. I can't find that page off Rip. But I can tell you that his takeaway was that he was more happy about having a wife and child and that it was more important than the force of thousandth Big Mac lady. Clarify. So here's a random page I just opened to before. So, 2002. Before I planned my 2002 trips, I had temporarily seen every MLB stadium again. And I had temporarily seen the brewers play in every MLB stadium. Temporary. Yeah, the whole book's coming. I think he means because new stadiums get. He said, Don, he's on. Oh, he's on. Are you here? Yes, I'm here. Hey, Don or Ski? Don, thank you so much for joining us. We were. So this all started earlier this week when the Big Arch came out. And our question was, does the guy who eats all the Big Macs, which we then figured out was you, Don Gorski, go buy his book? Would he be eating a Big Arch? And so we got to lead with that question. Will you be trying the Big Arch? Yeah, I probably will. I saw my son last night, and I picked him up for bowling, and he was saying, dad, I tried that Big Arch. I'm gonna have to get you one on Sunday. You're gonna have to try it. And I said, I suppose I probably will. So it'll probably be the only one I ever eat. But I say, see these Offer to buy one. I'll probably have one with them. Okay. What if you like it more? What happens? That won't happen. I'm really hooked on my Big Mac, and that's what I like. Yup. So how many days in a row have you eaten a Big Mac? Well, the last day that I missed was November 23rd. Two and a half, 2000. So I've gone, you know, over 25 years now without missing. But since May 17th, 1972, I've only missed eight days out of all those. So in your book, it. You had 9-11-01 written down, and it didn't say you had one on that. That day. Is that true, or did you have one on September 11th? Yes, I did. Okay. What time? That had to have been the worst one, right? Yeah. I don't know. I don't really grade what, you know, which ones are the best or which ones are worse. Always. But like I say, I just see Big Macs every day. I just enjoy them a lot. And once in a while, I do get a bad one. But you seem to have dated happens and it doesn't matter. You seem to have them in pretty cool locations. Like, I saw you had them in Alcatraz. A lot of baseball fields. What would you say is the. The best location? You had a Big Mac? Oh, I guess I really never thought about that. I mean, I enjoy having them just at home here even. Okay, this is where I eat most of them. And we got a kind of a nice view out our back patio and stuff. So I. I enjoy eating them at home, but I also enjoy eating them everywhere else too, that I can. What was the most unique Big Mac you've ever had? Whether there was something in it that shouldn't have been or it just tasted different than the others? Well, like, even in my book, I think I mentioned. I think it's probably on the back cover somewhere. I had a Big Mac in Kearney, Nebraska, I think it was in 2000. And we were going through there and we had Big Macs for lunch. And I told my son, I said, boy, I think this is the best Big Mac I ever had. Because I don't know what was different about it, but maybe the meat was really fresh or something. I think they were saying that McDonald's had never froze their meat at all. So I think that probably made a big difference. At your local McDonald's, do you even have to order anymore or do you just walk in and they got you ready? Yeah, like when I walk in, somebody will yell, don's here. And then they start making Big Macs. I only go there. I go. Only go there twice a week. I go there on Mondays And I buy six and then I go there on Thursday and buy eight. That gives me my 14 for the week. Wait, you're eating? Where are you. What are you doing with the Big Macs after where you are you keep in the fridge? He's free, probably. Yeah, I keep them in the fridge or the freezer. I've gotten so used to eating microwave Big Macs my whole, whole life that I. I guess they call it an accustomed taste or something. But I really like eating microwave Big Mac, so. Wow. I eat two fresh ones each week, and then the other 12 are all microwaved when I'm hungry. Wow. Like I said, you're doing this for the love of the game. I don't eat. Damn. I just don't eat them until I'm hungry, let's put it that way. Okay, what about on special occasions? Do you go out to nice dinners? Or is it say, no, it's all Big Mac? Well, no, we go out to eat once in a while and stuff. And, yeah, I'll have something. But if you notice, if I go out to eat with you, I'll probably have a real small portion of something or whatever, because I still eat my Big Macs every day. Yeah. The way I am and stuff. Yeah. I read that when they. When the Big Mac switched to shredded lettuce, you were pretty upset over that. Is there any other changes that you didn't like? No, the shredded lettuce was the big one. Because I told my son right away, I said, you know, that's probably going to mean the patties are going to get smaller and stuff, because they used to just put, like, a leaf of lettuce on there, you know, and that was pretty flat. I knew once the, you know, you should put shredded lettuce on there, that's going to make a higher sandwich. And then I just figured the patties would get smaller. And now the patties, they get smaller through the years, and that's just part of the, you know, the American culture, you know, things get smaller. What. What happened on November 23, 2000? All right, that was Thanksgiving Day. And I was always in the habit of keeping my Big Macs in the freezer and stuff for holidays and stuff like that. And my wife had me doing this thing where I was supposed to rotate them every so often because she hated that if I left them in the freezer for months at a time. And so I had eaten the ones that were in the freezer, and I forgot to restock them before Thanksgiving Day. And so I was kind of shocked when got home from work and I opened her freezer and there's no Macs in there. And so I knew all McDonald's were closed. And so, like I say, I just. There was no way to get a Big Mac. But I know the manager of my McDonald's, she would have opened up and made me a Big Mac if I would have called her. But it was my mistake. And I don't make anybody do anything, you know, for something. I made a mistake. It was just one of those things that happened. But. Yeah, like, were you feeling, like, withdrawal, like a day without it after so long? Like, did it feel few. It had to have felt very strange. Oh, yeah. My family is really used to me, you know, like, we ended up going to my sister's place for Thanksgiving. And my wife's very patient with me because she knows I get really hyper when something like that happens. And so even though I knew every McDonald's between our place and my sister's place, the up in Amro. We stopped at every McDonald's and just to check to make sure every door was locked, you know, so it's just one of those things, like when you're a person like me and you're kind of hyper and stuff. You got to be. You know, you have a half a sense of saying, hey, I tried my best. Yeah. Yeah. What about then the next. Oh, go ahead. I was just gonna say, by the next day, then I'm over it, you know, but like I say for the day that it happens, it really does perk at me. You could say. Yeah. What about sides? Don, do you ever get fries? Do you ever get nuggets? Do you ever. No, I very seldom get any. Anything else? I might have fries once a month, but I would say even that's kind of gone by the wayside. I think it's been a couple months now since I had fries. I ate more of the. The nuggets and stuff when my kids were little, like, they'd have Happy Meals all the time and stuff, so if they didn't finish their nuggets or they didn't finish their burgers, I'd always finish them up. But after they grew up, then I really never had nuggets or anything else ever again. Wow. Do you feel an extra connection to McDonald's because your name is Donald? Do you think there's an extra draw there? It's good. Point out. Well, I don't know. Every once a while, people point that out and say, hey, your Name's in the McDonald's thing. It's like, well, I never really think about that, you know, have you. For me to become the way. To become the way that I. That I am, There's a lot of factors that, you know, filed into it. Yeah. Have you ever tried a Whopper? Oh, no. Yeah, I had one Whopper. My life. It's in the book. Some guy offered me $5 Vita Whopper in 1984. So. In 1984, I remember that. I think it was January 4th of 84, and I. He said, I'd give you five bucks to eat a Whopper. And so I ate a Whopper and he gave me five bucks, and I used that money to buy Big Mac. There we go. Oh, man. Incredible. That's. You are correct. It was 1984. I'm looking at. Happened at a bowling alley. How. Don, what are you. What are you averaging? Bowling. I'm down a little bit this year. Last year, I was closer to 200. But this year I'm right around 193 in almost all my leagues. That's good. But like I say, they're oiling the lanes a little bit different. And so I'm having a little bit trouble, you know, getting used to conditions again. Have you. Have you rolled a 300? Nope. I just had my highest game ever. Maybe about a month ago, I had 289. It just seems something always, you know, breaks up a possible 300. I mean, I've had a lot of games with 11 strikes, but there's always that 110 pin or some other goofy pin that cost me the big one, you know. What frame was the 289? Which one did you. Did you falter? See, it was a ninth frame, I think. Was it when I had a nine spare, and then I struck out in the 10th. I think that's how it goes. Oh, man. How many. Hold on, hold on. Okay. Yeah, I think. Oh, yeah, wait, now this game, I think that was 10 strikes in a row. And then I got a nine there for my 11th. Yeah. So it was the first 10. Damn. I had. I think it was a four pin. Have it all. Yeah. You said leagues. How many leagues are you in? Okay. Like, I'm retired, so there's a lot of senior leagues in pond life. So I bowl in four leagues. Love that. And I always like bowling. Like, for me, people say, you know, like, I always throw like I'm trying to kill somebody. But for me, it was a good. I worked a lot of years at the prison, and I used to make believe the kins were inmates, so that helped my bowling a little bit. Oh, man. So you're up in Wisconsin. Have you ever been down to Chicago to Hamburger U? Okay. Like, was that at Oakbrook or middle of the city? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think the. The new corporation. Aren't they where the old Ultra Rent Free show used to be? Maybe believe so, yeah. Yeah. Anyhow, when I had my 15,000, Big Mac was in Chicago for the Jonathan Brandmeier radio show. And then I ate 15,000 on a show, and then I drove to Oak Brook, and then I had a Big Mac, 15,001 at the corporate. Corporate offices there. They had a McDonald's inside your buildings. And so that's the only time I really been in McDonald's of anything down there. Okay, when's your next milestone? How close are you to the next one? Oh, that's a long ways away. I mean, you know, I just passed 35,000 last year, so now 40,000 you're looking at 20, 32. If I don't die before then, you know, so what, when you. When you hit the milestones, you eat them in the McDonald's, or do you. Are you like. Yeah, it doesn't matter. I'll just eat it at home. No, like. Okay. For, like, the. The ones that, like when I. When I hit 10,000 or 15,000, all those. I know. I generally have those in some public place. Okay. Like my McDonald's. Like, they've had celebrations for that inside of McDonald's for me for 20,000, 25,000, 30, and 35,000. So they prefer that I celebrate at the McDonald's I go to because they just want to kind of let them. Let me know that they appreciate me as a customer and stuff like that. So I say, like, last March, March 15, I hit 35,000. And so we had a celebration type thing at the military McDonald's that I go to all the time. And I was able to get. I bought free Big Macs for everybody and stuff like that. And so it was a good time. That's awesome. Don, I have a question. How are you keeping track of this? Is this a computer program? Are you doing this by hand? No, it's all by hand. I don't have no computer. I don't have no cell phone. So no data. There's no app. No data. And then one more question. When you had your first Big Mac, did you just know this was the rest of your life? Good question. At the moment, I felt like it was, you know, wow. I actually ate three the first time I sat down. Wow. I'm sitting there like, man, this is the best sandwich in the world. And, you know, I had told my dad when I was 10 years old that someday I'd probably eat at McDonald's every day. But he didn't really think that would happen, and he kind of laughed at me later on in life when I was still eating at McDonald's. So. But, yeah, it was like, this was the best sandwich ever made. And I knew I was never going to learn how to cook. And then I, you know, I married a gal that really didn't cook, and so everything kind of fell into place. And I can eat my favorite food every day. Incredible. Be in pretty good shape, too. Don, I got a. I got a non McDonald's question. So you're. You're calling in from a landline right now. I assume you don't have a smartphone. You know, do you have a computer? Do you go on the Internet ever? No, I Need my wife's help to go on Internet. God bless. That's. That's incredible. That's why he's so healthy. Yeah. Well, you know, the thing is. Okay, another thing that's factored into that, like, when I was a prison guard for 25 years, we couldn't have a cell phone, we couldn't have a computer, nothing at the prison. And with us guys working double shifts all the time, and then we go home, sleep, go back to work, what the heck would I need a cell phone or a computer for? Because we're just working all the time and all the time. And so by the time I retired in 2011, it's like, why do I even want to bother anymore? So that's what kind of happened. Love that. Do you have a better. Yeah, you're better set for this world than the rest of us, that's for sure. Yeah. Don, were the prisoners aware? Were they like, hey, our guy today is the Big Mac guy. Oh, yeah. A little silver lining. Ye. I mean, I wish I got a buck for every time they told me where to stick my Big Mac, you know, because there were a lot of abusive words about it and stuff like that. But, like, when I used to get on TV shows and stuff like that, they said the cell house would be rocking, you know, so they all knew who I was. And, you know, like I said, there was a kind of a respect for what I was, and I always respected them, even though, you know, like I say, some of them are pretty cruddy guys, you know. Is your son still a prison guard? No, actually, I. Both my sons are prison guards at one time, but now one of them now works for a company that makes, like, you know, Harley Davidson signs and stuff like that. And my other son, he switched state jobs, and he now he's an auditor for the state of Wisconsin. So when you're both doing better, you know, having better jobs than having to deal with inmates all the time. When you met your now wife, did you have to explain to her, you have a Big Mac every single day? And was she about it? Was she excited as well? Well, okay, like. Well, that's what's kind of funny. Okay. I met my wife that was in September 22, 1973, and I met her, and I told her, I'm one of these guys, that I'll write you a letter every day and stuff like that, you know. So that's what I did. And I remember I was gonna write you my first letter, and my mom says, don't tell her about The Big Mac thing, you know, I didn't, I couldn't help it. I told her about the Big Mac thing, the first letter, you know, and. And she was always fine with it, you know, and. And actually I was actually working 40 miles away from where she lived and we were barely dating and she was already driving all the way to Hartford, 40 miles one way. And she dropped me off fresh Big Macs and stuff. Wow. She knew it was important to me and, you know, everything worked out. Like I say, once we got married, we just kind of made an agreement that he would let me eat Big Macs every day. And as long as I never blamed her for not cooking. I love that. Are you still saving every Big Mac carton? Yeah, I still do. I say the house was kind of running out of room, but when film crews and stuff come to our house, that's what they like to see. They like to see the proof and stuff like I had for Guinness. And like I say, the best place to see it is in my basement. I used to have a room with a pool table in it and now it's just Big Mac carton. Just like people like to see is when I uncover the COVID covers the boxes and then they can just see hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of Big Mac card from the Big Macs that I ate over the years. And does your kind of impressive. That's a great. You know. Yeah. Does your house smell like that of a McDonald's? No, it really doesn't. My wife is really pleased with the way I keep everything organized and stuff. And so, you know, the house is just loaded with McDonald's stuff, but I keep it all organized. And like I say she's fine with it. Don, is there any competition whatsoever? Like, have you ever talked to the guy who's eating the second most Big Macs on earth? No, I never talked to the guy, but Guinness World Records, I think it was like back. This was a long time. I think it was in 1995. They told me there was a guy, I think in Houston that was up to fourth. No, it's up to 5,000. Whoa. And he couldn't take it anymore. Everyone wants to be done. No one can do it. Yeah. Was there anyone else in the. The specific food item? You go ahead. Oh, there was nobody else that like I said, Guinness was really good about letting me know how my record is and if anybody else is interested or whatever. And I tell people, don't try to break it because you aren't going to break it. And like I say, a Person like me can do eat like that and still be healthy, but not everybody else can do that. Yeah. Have you ever had one wet while Wet? Like you were sopping wet and then ate one? What do you mean? I myself have spoken wet. Yeah, yeah. No, I won't. You know, I. I gotta be totally dry person before I eat. A big definitely. Yeah. You list the site where JFK was shot as a why did it happen site in your book. Do you have any theories on what you think happened there? Oh, I think I. I just believe that there's that one gunman. I think, you know, some guy. One guy could just do that, no problem. Yeah, I mean, like. Like for us guys, you know, like, as prison guards, we had to do training for a rifle and stuff like that. And, you know, you won't believe how good a shot some of us guys are. You know, I mean, you know, they put them targets way down the field, and now you. Hey, you know, they would like you to put one. You know, put one dead center or, you know, maybe where, you know, where the heart is or something. And, boy, a lot of them guys, they can nail it, you know? So, like I say, there's a lot of sharpshooters out there. Last one for me, Don. You have bowling, euchre, Big Macs. Do you have any other hobbies or anything else you're, like, super passionate about? Oh, cribbage. Oh, yeah, I play cribbage about four times a week. There's a. Like I say, I do a lot of stuff for older people. I mean, I know I'm old too, but I do a lot of stuff for older people. Like, I'll take them to the grocery store or get them newspapers. And then there's one lady I play cribbage with because her partner died, you know, and she really is pretty lonely, so she just asked if I just like cribbage. So I do that. So, yeah, there's stuff like that I do. And then one of the things I spend a lot of hours on is I write a lot of letters. I probably could be called a chronic letter writer. I still write to my wife every day, even though she doesn't read them anymore, but still write them and stuff. But I just love, you know, writing letters and stuff. And then I do a lot of walking and stuff like that. I love to walk like here. We live out in the country here. And so I tell the wife, I'm gonna go around the block, and out here, a block of six miles, so I'll Do a six mile walk and stuff when the weather's good and stuff, so. Oh, wow. Yeah, I keep. We both keep our. Keep very busy for a couple. Wow, that's great. Well, Don, you're. You're the. You're the best. And if you do end up ever coming back down to Chicago, we'd love to have you by the office. And this was awesome. We really appreciate it. Well, thanks for having me on your show. I know I'm kind of a weird guy, but. No, you're the best. You're the best. The fucking. You're the best of the best. Got it figured out? Yeah. Oh, thank you. Okay. All right, well, Don, let's stay in touch if you ever come down here. We'd love to. We'd love to see you. Okay. Well, if you want me to come down here sometime, you ought to send me a dress or something, because I don't have you on the Internet or, you know, anything like that. So when people want to get a hold of me, they write me letters. Okay. Yeah, maybe we'll do a cut. Maybe we do a Cubs brewers game at Wrigley. Okay, well, like I say, I've had a Big Mac at. In every baseball stadium, football stadium, and NASCAR track, so enjoy doing that. Okay. All right, well, we'll. We'll do it. We'll set it up. All right, well, thank you so much, Don. We appreciate it. All right, well, thanks for having me on your show. Right on. See ya. I have never been more jealous of a man. Yeah, he's the best. He figured out his life and just did his life. I clutched my heart. The best of the best. He still writes for a letter every day. Quite literally. The best of the best. That's a guy. That would be that guy. Even if he never had a Big Mac. Yeah. I'm skeptical going in, but he. Me too. Life the way he wants to live. He doesn't even want fanfare. He doesn't want anything. Like, he just did it. And then eventually he got to such a big number. They're like, hey, we should write about this. Be like, oh, yeah, I guess. I guess I have eaten a lot of Big Macs. He retired in 2011. Yeah. Now he's just going to games, ripping big. Walking. Walking around the block. Now the microwave part, that's a little. That's. That's okay. I was shocking when he said that part. What do you mean? You get eight on Monday, but you can see how the Thanksgiving thing happened. That was. I'm like, I'm sad Retrospectively, Like, I want to think about Thanksgiving. Like, that's just every Thanksgiving from now on, I'm gonna think of Dawn. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's. I mean, Thanksgiving. You want to eat what you want. He couldn't do that. That's. That's the worst. Him and opening up the freezer. Nothing. And not to blame his wife because she seems beautiful, but, like, you know, making him rotate him, I don't get. Yeah. But she did go to every McDonald's. Yes, that's true. Good point. Just. That's a second. Make sure before they were dating, she would bring him freshies. 40 minutes, he said. I think hyper might have been a word for angry. I think he's like, I get hyper. He writes about having, like, an obsessive compulsive. So I think he locks in on. Yeah. Things. You should hire him. I should. Yeah. And be like, hey, Don, your only job is to eat some big. Yeah. You don't have Internet. You don't have a field. Call it. Put it out. Just every single guy who doesn't have Internet. You really do. Yeah, we don't have that yet. Oh, my God. Look at his face. I actually think now that I'm thinking about it, like, if Don would be open to it, I would 100% send Deutsch up there for a week to just be like Deutsch. All you gotta do is eat a Big Mac with Don in his. In his kitchen for documented. It'd be incredible. You'd find that dawn, too. Like, Joyce just goes, finally. Yeah. A Donnie. That's not. Yeah. That was born at dawn. Deutsch just goes over there for five minutes every day. Then he's like, all right, see you tomorrow. What a. The best. I want them. Yeah. I want the rights. I want those two to beat. Having a simple conversation would be the funniest thing. You know what we could do? Maybe. Let me look real quick. He takes care of the old people. I know. He plays cribbage with somebody who lost their partner. Still goes bowling with his son. It's not too far, but. What a guy down at Barstow camp. Oh, my God. We're gonna be up. Oh, my God. There. Well, Is there a McDonald's in that town? There was, right? Yes. I think two hour drive having him come and just have a. Have all of us eating a Big Mac. And we just gotta get sponsored by barstool camp. One of our sponsorship McDonald's. We all just sit and have a Big Mac right by the lake. Oh. And then he Just he, like, like. All right, Don, thanks so much. Appreciate it, man. Take it easy. I thought that was going to be a at most two minute interview. No. We could have gone. So many more questions. We left some meat on the bone for. For the next time we see Don. That's not the last we're going to see Don. There's a lot in there. He was like in a hurricane. Like there's a lot of that's happened when you look like. Great question from Kyle. Has ever eaten one wet? Wait, gotta be dry. Gotta be dry. One of the rules. Not once was he. Not one time. Always dry. Also likes that, obviously. But open minded. Tried the big arch. I was kind of surprised. Yeah. Gonna have one get a Whopper in 1984 for five bucks. Five bucks. It also seems like everything's in that book. Like, a lot of his answers are like, yeah, that's in the book. That like, he had it. 84 was a weird year because that was the year he tried a Whopper. And he also had to get his third hepatitis shot after being scratched by an inmate that was a carrier. That's in the book. That's in the book. That's a weird. The book is just the. And what happened. Yeah, it's just a captain's log. It's. Yes. Yeah, that's. It's everything because of. And he admits this. So I'm not, you know, adding it, but because of his, you know, compulsive needs, he like has to count and catalog everything. He's constantly writing. He's writing letters all the time. In a way. Is his wife one of the luckiest women because she married a man, does not expect her to cook. Sounds like he does the cleaning around the Big Mac containers. Like. And he. Right. He. He seems like the perfect husband. I don't get the feeling he's not cheating on her. Yeah. Oh, no, no. I don't get the feeling. No. I've had340,000 every day. We'll see in every ballpark. I just get 14 on Sunday. Keep them in the freezer. I tried a fat in 1984 for $5 for five. I've never tried a wet. Only got to be dry. Oh. Oh. This is really everything. It's everything. Literally everything he said. Yeah. December 16th. What year is this? The years are like the 2005. My nephew, Adam Zaleski was married at 2140 Big Macs. And this is ominous. The next update is December 22nd. I talked to Alzaleski. Marries 89 year old father for the last time. Oh, it's all there. He died 20, 000 Big Macs ago. Yeah. That's a long life. That's a good life. How many Pig Macs legally I'm 4, 800 big max. I mean he already knows when the next 5,000 is coming up. He knows exactly how. Yeah. He clocked it 2032. What a guy. I kind of wish I had a better catalog of my life. Like is that. Yeah. I'm jealous back on it. Like I'm kind of interested in random that happened to him. Yeah. It would be nice to have Tommy Smokes does a sentence a day about his life, I think. Yeah. Which. Oh my God. November. November 1, 1991. John Zaleski and Teresa were getting a divorce. This made no sense. Imagine. Imagine being John Zaleski. This made no sense your whole life. I might have to read this whole book. It's actually really good. It's great. I think he doesn't understand like a disruptions and aversions. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Is there a chance he's written more letters than in Big Macs? He might be a guy who does log everything that he does. Yeah. This. How do you come still writes his wife a letter a day. That's crazy. That's for a guy. For a guy who doesn't love inmates, he sure behaves like one. Same thing. Writes same thing. Writing letters. She's right there. August. August 13, 1997. Officer Hawkinson offered to buy me McDonald's but I wasn't hungry. If I'm not hungry, I don't eat. That's it. That's the up. That is the key. He must have felt like. Yeah. Hawkinson just look like an idiot being like. Like there's no way I'm getting a no for this. Yeah. You want a big mat offer the biggest guy. Biggest automatic. Yeah. Yes. A layup. Big fat guy did. Oh, that would feel like. No. You got to look inward. He couldn't do this. That would ruin me 35,000 times officer to you. He's never attempted a favor again. It's like Tiger not wanting to you in his prime. Yeah, that's. Yeah. He. No thank you not imagine the brutality. Oh, Don Gorski. Unbelievable. The best of the best. Hell of a bowler too. We need more Don Gorski's. We do. He really exceeded expectations. He was. Wonder how many Don Gorskis are out there though just writing letters every day doing what they want every day off the Internet. Probably more than you think. We would never know we wouldn't know. Off the Internet's the most impressive part. I. Does he up? He logs. Yeah. Living in the country, guys. He logs everything. April 7, 2001. So when did he say he met his wife? 73. 73. So this is April 7, 2001, he said. I took Mary out for perch for the fourth time since we met. Wow. How many perch days is that? What is it? Yeah, it's fish. Fourth time, fourth perch. It's the fourth perch. Went out to a Friday fish fry. Pretty serious. You want to go to 9 11? Yeah, I did see what he said. That's the first thing you did. Yeah. It didn't. Yeah, he didn't write about any burgers, but Guinness came by his place 10 days later. He was supposed to go to a baseball game September 15th. That got canceled. Yeah. No, this is. So this is how he found out. September 11, 2001, I went to work after returning from my Buffalo, New York trip. At 9am I heard on the radio that a plane had crashed in the World Trade center building. New York. I went in the security office because I knew they would have a TV on. When I saw the burning World Trade center building on tv, I said, we'll be going to war with somebody for that. I knew that was not an accident. It was an attack, like the attack on Pearl Harbor. As the day went along, the other attacks proved it was no accident. So the west got attacked. He got it. Yeah, he nailed it right away. Oh, my God, this is so finger on the pulse in the back. He has like, kind of like FAQs and you know, little things like that. And yeah, he's. He cites one of his saddest days as visiting ground zero. Whoa. Yeah. Such as appropriate. Yeah, he's got a good head on the shoulder, quick hitters where he's just. Did he say when he started counting? November 2, 2004. I was voter number 867 at the town hall today. He was voter? Oh, yeah. He voted in the presidential election. Probably putting Bush back in there. Everything in. In 84, which we know is a weird year because he took the money to eat the Whopper. He says he was a little strapped for cash and one of the things he did to make money was he dug an outhouse hole for $70. Oh, come on. That's. He's a hard working man. Here's the Red Sox breaking the curse. The Boston Red Sox won the World Series. After I ate my 2200 second Big Mac. It's just everything's on the Big Mac scale. So he buys them at the restaurant, brings them home. Home. He talks about how he's eating them at ballparks and racetracks and all that. The restaurant itself doesn't do anything for him. Like does he? No. He had to buy Big Macs for everybody. When he celebrated the, the milestone he said he went in and bought goes in he bought. You would think they were like There doesn't seem to be relationship between the. He should never have to pay for a Big Mac ever. Well, his restaurant put the sign up for it. Seems like his local restaurant rides for him. Okay. It seems like he does have. It doesn't seem like he's interested in checking off a number of McDonald's. Like I, I feel like that would go hand of like I want to hit every McDonald's in the country and hit a eat a Big Mac in every McDonald's. Brandon. This dude goes to baseball games, bowls, eats burgers and loves his wife and lives in the country. Yeah. And he hates change. November 30, 2007, I ate my first piece of new Juicy Fruit. Longer lasting taste gum. I hate it when they change the products I use. I love man who eats big bag every doesn't like new things. Yeah. The longer lasting gum was just. Come on guys. What the are we doing? Juicy Juicy Fruit. It's a really interesting dude and he's got a lot of garbage in his basement he's collected. Yeah, I don't think garbage with the shredded lettuce like I thought. Okay. No, it's going to make the burger taller. He saw it coming. Interesting. This is, didn't he say he takes the boxes and see. Yeah, that's. I, I, I've just been tipped off that there's a barstool sports employee that outspokenly hates hates this guy. What Bring him everybody forward. I'm guessing White socks Dave and I want you to fight this person to the death. Are they, are they not in this office? But I have a podcast clip from this office talking about Don Gorski very negatively. Oh no. You like to watch it. What is it us? Wait, can we ah. Is this gonna be a good look for us or a bad look for us? I think it's gonna be a bad look for the person maybe is the person in this room. No, no, no. I'm gonna bring this guy up because somebody that loves fast food more than you. The goat. Don Gorski. Don Gorski. And this Jeff hates this guy. Wait, you think he's. I've hated this, this John Lennon Looking ass liar for years. A 70 year old Wisconsin man and he is the world record holder shoulder for the most Big Macs eaten in a lifetime. He's eaten almost 35000 Big Macs. Jeff. How can you hate this guy? He's full of. Oh, this is the. He's a piece of an Christmas. I gotta make sure there's. There's Big Macs getting made like in the house. I. He puts him in his freezer. He goes and he buys X he puts in his freezer and he's gonna get out of the house. He's like disrupting his family's meal. No, he's not. No, they're not. They're not. No, I don't. I. We have to get. We have to get Jeff on now. Give me Jeff. Bring me Jeff. Somebody better us out. Jeff right now. Better. Oh, that's devastating. God damn, Jeff. What he said isn't even. He. He tells in his book that he likes that he looks like John Lennon. So he's not mad at that. How much of the book did you read? I assume I was looking for interview questions. I was under press. I. But the fact that he puts them in his freezer means he's not. No, he's doing the opposite. Yeah, he literally just. And he just said my wife doesn't complain about McDonald's because she doesn't want to cook. Jeff is a very habitual man too. He eats a lot of the same things. I like when Jeff hates for theaters. I do too. I think it's really amusing. I think this is one of the best rivalries. Yeah. I just want to say team Don hardcore. But I do love that this exists. I don't think we'd have a counterweight to this. I want the quote card. That piece of what asked about the man who eats Big Mac. Don Gorsy's literally not bothering anybody. He was. No. When he had. When he missed his burger on Thanksgiving. It's because of his own mistake. He didn't want to convenience anybody. Yeah. Jeff says that he's a piece of John Lennon ass. Oh, that guy. Any shortcoming Don has is the first one to admit. He's just like, I get a little hyper. Maybe I'm not that interesting. It's like, dude, you're. You're awesome. You're perfect in all ways, man. Oh, let me guess. He's helping old people grocery shop in his town. What a piece of dumb. Nobody plays cribbage anymore, Dawn. I was prepared to not like him. I'm I'm not going to lie. That's why I will give Jeff this, like, without talking to him. You don't know. You just make assumptions in your head. And we're cynical, and we are. We love to hate. When I first saw the book, I was like, this guy is a weirdo and an idiot. But then I heard him explain everything, and I'm like, now I'm in. You just got to meet the person. But if Jeff listens to this part of the yak and still thinks that Jeff is wrong, I. I have a feeling he might. If he doesn't retract. He's a piece of. Yeah, he needs to. I don't want to get him on and retract, but I want Jeff. I don't want him to retract. Yeah, like, yeah, like, I want him to go harder. You guys fell for that? That's crazy. Big Cat. That's the most you're reading, man. Yeah, dude. It's mess. You can fall into that incredible sky. Just logs everything. It'd be a great bathroom book. I. You know, you can't really read straight through it, but it's kind of like a flip to a page and be like, okay, where was. Dive in, dive out. Yeah. Whoa, wait, hold on. What'd you find? He knows the date of everything. Yeah, and he. And he was right about the best one he ever had. It's on the back cover. It is. Kearney, Nebraska. It was number 17. 355. How far is that? I recall. What was the. What was the fourth purge date? Did you guys. Oh, that was 2001. Okay. Do you remember what. Or maybe 2000, 2004. Who? I don't know. Those are in the 2000s. It does sound kind of exhausting. Like, because I found the sixth perch date. Oh, good. 2003. Like, every time a new stadium gets built, he's like, I have to. God damn it. Yeah, but I think he likes it. I think he really sneak the Big Macs in. Like, are you allowed to bring a Big Mac into a baseball game? I mean, that's Don Gorse. I think he's allowed. Jeff. Oh, my God. What's up, Jeff? What do you have to say for yourself? I just heard a name drop. Someone said Don Gorski. Yeah. If you hate him, I hate you, and that's. Sorry. No. Jeff, state your case. I mean, I, I, I. He's a huge enemy of mine. I don't. Like. I think I, I think he. I think he's a liar. How, How. Why is he A liar. Document all boxes, Jeff. How is he a liar? He's a huge enemy. He's a huge enemy. I'm guessing. I'm guessing. Like, he. I mean, I think he probably throws a burger in the trash now and then and keeps the box. That's not out of the realm. No way. He also took part in that documentary Super Size Me, which ruined the super size fry. So he's a. A terrorist in that sense. Terrible. Yeah. Not a fan. Never been a fan. Never. Like, you called him a piece of. Well, we. We just. He's a piece of. We just had him on, and he's the nicest guy ever. What the. Quite literally the best of the best that we have. He. Everything you said in that clip we just watched was wrong. He does not disrupt anything in his family. He said that his wife doesn't like to cook. All he does is. Puts his Big Macs in his freezer and then puts them in the microwave. Volunteers time to spend with old people only. Yeah. He plays cribbage with a widow. Writes his wife a love letter every. Don't back down, Jeff. So, yeah, you're. You're a piece of for a second. He has not up. He has not disrupted a meal at any point in his existence. He's definitely done that. Okay, well, he doesn't bother anyone, really. Does it bother you people? Wait, like, oh, that's what you're. That's what you're eating today. I got a Big Mac in my pocket. What about his book? Yeah, yeah, I'm not about that. He documented every burger he's eaten. No, he doesn't have a Big Mac in his pocket. He. He goes on Mondays and buys eight. And he goes on, what, third Fridays, Monday, Monday is six. Thursdays, eight. Okay. Yeah. And then he puts them in his heats. One that day. Fresh. And then he puts them in his freez. When he gets home from work, he eats his Big Mac microwaves. Microwaves that. He likes the taste. Yeah. I stand by and I don't like him. There's a little bit of shame inside of me right now, I'll admit that. Well, you got to go back and watch the interview, and maybe it'll change your mind. Or maybe it won't. I hope it doesn't. That's. I hope it doesn't. Jesus, what a get. There you got Gorski. He respects his adversary. If you really want to show him up, you should have a Big Mac wet. That is one thing. Never done it. Never done it. Well, yeah. Yeah. Wow. I got I. I have. I have to stand my ground. Unfortunately, I don't like him. That's it. It's so good. This all started because of super siiz me, Jeff. Is that how he got in your radio? Yeah. I'm not a big fan of Super Size Me, which I think the guy who made that is dead now. He died during COVID Yeah. He's a huge nick to fan the gu. That Spurlock and I am. And followed you earlier. Yeah. The only guy to ever. By the way, the only guy ever cancel himself during the Me too movements. That was crazy. Like just a heads up. Yeah, that was kind of wild. Yeah, it was super like that. I didn't believe him. This. This goes back to when we had when. When Troll Balins was doing Lights Camera barstool with us and we talked about Gorski for like an hour. I think Trill hates him too. Trill can't hate him. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think Trill liked him. I don't think Trill liked. Oh, no. Are you a Dale Lamoro guy? Jeff? Dale. Hold on. Wait, wait, wait. Who is. Hold on. Dale Amro is the. Is that the. The Domino's pizza box? Yeah. He folds the boxes fast. Folds the box. No. That guy's a legend. That guy's a legend in the game. But this is just. This is just the cynicism in you. This is proving that the way Don Gorski lives life is correct. You're cynic. You're the opposite Don Gorski. You spend all day online watching everything. He doesn't even have the. And you love. You love new products. Yeah. Enemies, limited time offerings. I love ltos. They're great. I tried the. The big arch. The new. I bet. I'm sure. I'm sure Don hates the big. No, he hasn't. No, see, this is where you're so wrong. He's going to try the big arch on Sunday. He probably won't like it, but he's going to try it. Oh, wait, I thought he only eats Big Max. He does. He does. What a rival. Oh, Jeff, you're being a. Is getting him a big arch. He's gonna eat his Big Mac too. You know, again, you got me the old people cribbage thing. That got me a little bit. I'm a little. I do feel off my rocker a bit now, but it's okay. I'm. I'm gonna. I'm gonna. I'm gonna hold firm. Tough. Big cat's gonna hire him, Jeff. Yeah, he's gonna have A dozen, too. He's got a dozen. No, I didn't hear him say final answer. Sorry, Don. Sorry. No point to hire him. We're gonna have to write a letter. Yeah, he said if you want to contact me, you need to write me a letter. We'll have to wait a week to see if he accepts. Oh, man. I mean, the first immediate HR complaint I'm gonna get. Yeah. Fired. Wow, this was a shock. I ran out of the movie theater to take this. What could this even be about? Gorski. You had to know it was Gorski. Wow. Did we. Did we talk about Dorsky on fictional debates? I don't think so. I don't think so, Jeff. I never thought about him. I mean, if. If we brought him up, it was probably me being an SO. All right, well, listen, listen, listen to us. Talk to him. He is, like, the nicest guy ever. I will. Yeah. I mean, look, like I said, I'm going to stand my ground, but it doesn't mean I don't feel like a piece of now, so. That's okay. It's honorable. One of my greatest enemies, I guess. I guess the only silver lining is there is a 0% chance Don Gorski saw you talk about him. He literally does not have the Internet. He called in landline. Landline? Yeah, landline calling. Landline, phone only. So don't worry, you can say whatever you want. He will never get back to him. He can write him a letter if he wants. Yeah, he can all. Gorski writing a letter. It probably be a love letter. Yeah. Probably be like, you know. All right, thanks, Jeff. Get back to your movie, man. On his ass forever. That was perfect. Yeah. Yeah, that was. They are, like, exact opposite. Yeah, I didn't think about it. So you pushed it out? Yeah. Jeff loves the new releases. It's all over the Internet. All over the Internet. Watch the Internet all day. Very similar. Yes. He just. He's. He was in the movie theater. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's. That's Don's bowling alley there. That's. Alley is movie theater. I do respect Jeff not backing down, but that is if he watches that interview and then is like, yeah, he's still a of piece. Piece of. He could say he doesn't like him, but if he says he's a piece of, then I think it's Don Gorski's. The opposite of a piece. That's the funniest guy you could hate, though. Oh, man. Do you think if Don Gorski played the dozen, he would Be the best player. Respectfully, to Brandon and Kirk. No, no, I don't think. Odd. No, he doesn't have the Internet. Doesn't seem like he watches. He remembers everything. Yeah, I understand why you asked the question, Steve. He's got a. He's got a stupid. I don't think he has any hobbies, though. Good at baseball. He does baseball. Yeah, baseball, fine. But. But like there's no music, movies. Fair, fair, fair. Pop culture. Zero percent celebrity mashup. Sandwich. Mashup. Might be a newspaper mashup. Yeah, he definitely has a newspaper subscription. Yeah, that's how he gets his news. Is anybody else feeling excited that we had this call? Because if he does a second book, we're in it. Oh, wow. We're in Don Gorski's next. Next book. Yeah, there's gonna be a second book. Tell you that I got already written. I gotta writing every day. Barstool Gorski would be. Did he write his books by hand? I don't know. Send it in. He's got to be a typewriter guy. We gotta get him to camp. We gotta get him to camp. He's gotta come have a Big Mac with the fellas. Was 22 477. The record. Because it's an odd time to choose to write. I guess just right when he started writing. Yeah, right. Or when the book. When he finished the book. Yeah. Yeah. Couldn't wait. Twenty. What's the la. Yeah. What's the last log in there? It's like. Great question. Like 25,000 big. A little bit. Just finished writing my book and then that's the last. Ate a big one. Real meta. Imagine just wandering into a Barnes and Nobles and just walking out with that. I wanted to learn. Well, I'm picturing walking past Big Cat in first class on a plane. Oh, yeah. Reading that. No, the. The ending is. There is no. He does the like frequently asked questions. But the last log is I saw eight MLB games in 2006 to raise my total since May 17, 1972, to 628 games. Damn. I ate 727 Big Macs for my total. 21, 802. With 703 receipts from 2006. I think him and Frank would get a long. Yeah, they are similar. Yeah. Travels. Big Cat. Your next tattoo has to be a passage from your favorite book. It's just so pure. Like, this does not. They got a divorce. This does not make sense. This does not make sense. A great tattoo. That's my favorite Gorski quote. That sounds like a Philosopher does not make sense. I might get that. Yeah, it's about this couple's divorce in a Big Mac booki I've been real divor lately. I've been reading Gorski. It does sound. It sounds like Tolstoy. He has a list of people who bought him a Big Mac over the years. It's only like 15 long. Oh, he doesn't say yes very often. Yeah. April 1st, 2003, Jimmy Kimmel 19,029 for his show. And then like, yeah, it's Oprah Winfrey. Jimmy Kimmel. And then it's a bunch of the officers that worked at the prison. You got to get in that did the guy. No to ever make it. August 3, 1991. Brother. Brother. Randy Gorski knew I needed an Indiana Big Mac. Indiana Big Titus subway. Good, good. They're a little different than bones. Krause bought him a Big Mac in December 1999. Why do I know that? Cones. Kraus. Someone from here needs to go to Kearney, Nebraska and get the best Big Mac in the world. Yeah. On a rumor that they never freeze their meat. And then he threw it in the freezer. Yeah. Went home. Oh, my God. So he's got foods eaten other than Big Mac. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's like a half a page. That's not even a full chart. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. He's had steak seven times in 30 years. Yeah, he had steak three times in two months. Was a passage I read Ponderosa four times. Carson four times. Prime rib five times. Times. And then lobster and perch. Oh, it kind of likes lobster. Oh, perch. Of course. Oh, my God. Oh, this book is incredible. I just missed this. Coincidences. Here's a page. Yeah, get into that. April 27, 1988. My mother dies on my brother in law Bill's birthday. Yeah, it is. This isn't really coincidences. June in 1990. Tornado grazes our house on my sister's nance Nancy's birthday. These aren't coincidences. This is his life story through the prism of a Big Mac. This is the opposite of a coincidence. This is his. April 26, 1991. My brother Randy sees me on on TV at a ball game in Baltimore. That's not what it hurts. Okay, now this one is best book of all. I got a coincidence. I found one. Here's a real coincidence. This is May 4th 4th, 2004. My first grandchild takes first steps on Big Mac's 36th birthday. That's divine intervention. Wow. Oh, man. Lightning strikes our satellite dish on Brother Danny's birthday. Not a coincidence. Yeah, but what are the other things happen on it. Oh, my God. Oh, no. Oh, no. Coincidence. December 27, 2005. My father in law has a stroke on her 30th wedding anniversary. Oh, damn. Lived in same house as Kenneth Robley who died at our wedding. That actually is a. Wait, somebody died at his wedding? Yeah. Wait, how is that not its own coincidence? That's its own coincidence. A guy who died at his wedding. We had to find out that he lived. It said died at. At our wedding a dude. And then they moved into his. That could have been the book. Gorski back on the line. Yeah, it's called Till death do us part. Unbelievable. Wow. The original red wedding. Yeah. Wow, man. Death at a wedding. There's no way he met a guy who went to their wedding. Died. It says died at our. Who died at our wedding? I don't know if they have his. I don't think he has his wedding. What year did. He was already married when it started. Was he? I don't know what he's saying. What'd he say? So they met in 73. Okay, we might be able to find. We might be able to find the way that go to September 22nd. That's when that is. Can I give this to you and can you read it to your kids to fall asleep 100% on 1974. Oh, Saint McDonald had a farm and he died as we said. D. Oh my God. Barstool sports discovers literature. All right, we got to find this red dude. You like flip the pages and there's different on Big cat. Hurry, go to another page. Another one. Flip around. I kind of something on this one, bro. December so 30th. So he got married December 27th, 1975. All right, here we go. Okay. All right, here we go. We got wedding. Wait, it's 2 cents sentences. Wait, 1975 only covers like 12 pages. Big Mac. All right, here we go. December 27th, 1975. There were never any thought about eating my 2000th Big Mac on my wedding day because it wouldn't work out. It would have involved skipping days and I couldn't do that. One memorable moment of that day was at the reception. A neighbor of Mary's, Kenneth Roble, fell over dead from an aneurysm. My brother Arnie is a doctor, so he tried to revive him, but he wasn't able to. I had never met Mr. Roble until the reception line after the wedding. Wedding. Years later, Mary's parents would buy him his home next to ours when we moved to Fond du Lac where the stroke happened. Conspiracy. A guy dies and then they bought his house. Oh my God. Years later. And that was all. That was all. Somebody died at his wedding is they tried to revive him. There's got to be some real little tidbits. Yeah. Unbelievable. One interesting thing that happened. Dude, you got married. Unbelievable. All right, Don Gorski. Love him. Love him. Should we curl? Let's curl. Oh, Kyle. I searched all over Tik Tok last night, found one. Found one. What? Oh, I send it to you. No. Oh, of me. Yeah, tj, I'll send it to you. Here it is. Yeah, I sent it to him. I need to say this into the void because if I tell any of my friends, they won't get it. And if he hears it, he'll literally recoil in disgust. I am deeply, biologically attracted to KB from Barstool. I watch the every single day and I've reached a point where it's not even 40,000 likes or the clever one liners anymore. I'm just staring. It's honestly so bad. I know he'd hate it. He'd probably think I'm a parasocial freak. But have you seen his brain? And like, his actual face is so cute. He's genuinely so hot. And I am 10Xing my way into a crisis. Kyle. Wow, that was good. As it gets. All right, Kyle, I. Yeah, you have a speech. I am uncomfortable. I appreciate that. Hell yeah. That was very kind. She's so uncomfortable. Is that the. Yeah, she was right. You said that you were hot. No, different, Differently. You guys are on fire this week. Well, two hot boys. See Danny. Oh, I was just wondering if it was AI. No, Dan, Dan, Dan. 40,000 is a suspicious amount. 40,000 likes. But what did you feel in the moment? God damn it, Dan. I knew it. I was gonna say 40,000 likes and none of us. There was a moment where you're like, this is sick, right? Yeah. That moment lasts forever. Dick Cat. Did you write that prompt? Evil man. Not just his brain, his baby. That's. I was like making AI chick talk about kb. That moment though, was great. I gave you the moment. Damn, I'm old. I didn't even think for a second. I was like, she's good call Danny. Oh man. Danny got me right away. God damn it, Danny. I'm sorry, Kyle. Damn it. Oh man. Let's curl. Damn. I'm disappointed. It was too many likes. If that had less likes. Cuz I was like, 40,000 means that there's a movement. I didn't watch it. This week's. Finished it during the act, so then I just sent it right to TJ. If that had like, 900 likes, I would have been, like, without doubt. I mean, I guess I never should have done 900. Yeah, yeah. But that one moment. So, yeah, this one doesn't exist. So. Yeah, it actually doesn't exist. Those are words that could have been said, correct? It came out of. They could come out of a mouth. Yeah. Ladies, let's get some. Let's get some. The reality is, in the whole wide world of Tik Tok, not one person. Oh, I didn't search. I don't even open Tik Tok. Okay. Yeah, no, there's definitely some out there. So they're out there for sure. I don't got to find them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to look for pretty hard. Would have been. Was that mean? No, it's perfect. That was really funny. Danny blew my spot up. It would have been mean if you let it simmer. I would have let it simmer for, like, maybe five more minutes. It was actually pretty mean of Danny. Yeah, Danny blew it up right away. Way. I'm trying to help you, Kyle. I don't want you to get Cat. Oh, we needed him to have a little bit of the. You called out the office on the Internet. Who Love you. Yeah. Yeah. Damn, I'm a fun. This is going to inspire a movement. They're going to stitch it with that one. It's going to create real ones. Yeah, yeah. No. Do. Do not. It did make me uncomfortable. Titus, do you want to. Yeah, it is uncomfortable. Do you want to tell Donnie proof? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Get Donnie. I gotta pee anyway. Donnie. He's gone. Come in here. Oh, no. I'm just gonna tell you what we're gonna do. No, just relax. Relax. Very similar outfit. The. You're an elite troll. We're going to give you some evidence. You're in a girl. Just. It's fine. Just don't worry about it. How much evidence is it? Is it. Just don't. Just sit down. We got to move that every time. What you sipping on? Have a seat, Titus. There's. There's paperwork that proves. There's no paperwork. What is it? An official stamp with like a. Like a. A baseball card? It got notarized. No, it didn't. Shut up, Nick. I'm sick of this. Let's see the paperwork. Well, let's maybe. Let's wait for Mark. Yeah, yeah. Let me shut the doors. And not let them in. Well, there's a giant wall here that's missing. There's a door. If we can shut them. Wendows. Really? We shut them out. They're doors. Ish. What's the evidence? He was talking to the seller. He's been. Well, the seller can. Who? The seller is a weirdo problem he had. The seller seemed confused, convincing. Come on, let's. We won, like, big game last night. Yeah, I know, but let's. This, dude. Let's lock in for this. Yeah. I got a hat trick in the first period. Yeah. Natural hatrick. First period, three to one. You watch? Did you watch? Of course I watch. Who do they have next? Let's lock more head. It's gonna be tough. Got more head tonight. All right. It's gonna be tough.

You're doing yoga, clearly. But what. Why are we watching this? Yeah. I mean, dumb video we made in high school. What do you want me to say? Everybody's done it. Titus has everything in your life. Yeah. That's terr. I mean, terrifying. What does he do when he leaves his office? You. You. You. Yeah. All day. Yeah. I can't compete with that. I. I can't. I got other shots. I got a lumberyard. I got hobbies. Got mine, right? I got hobbies. Look, man, I don't. You Have a child, man. I can't. I gotta call Child Protective Services now. Spending more time on young. You're watching young boys in high school than you are your own kid. That kid's gonna be up. Yeah, it's pretty good. Did they tell you the news? I don't know, man. I just asked him why he was wearing. Why were you wearing Maddie's pants? And he didn't like that. But we didn't tell him any other news. We waited for you. Yeah, I mean, I. It's your jersey, Mark. There's no. There's. I like that. I. I love that you still think that. It's nice. It's like believing in Santa, Donnie. It's. It's. It's 10,000%. Your jersey. The guy. I got it from the school. He. He goes through all. He was. He was going frame by frame. He said there was a cut of the jersey that. That was only used that year. The yolk went down. Yolk went down. The yolk. And they had to change it because they changed it after that year. Look, you might. You buy. Did you buy your jersey? Yeah. My jersey? Yeah, I got it. I got both my jerseys. I was wearing my jersey in college. We saw it on Venmo, so. I don't know how you would have my. My jersey. Oh, that big picture. Did you leave it at college and end up in the Goodwill? No. Look, I'm going home next week. I'm shooting a video in Minnesota. Go to my storage unit, paperwork. And you're certain that if I can get in. If I can get in cross state lines, I'm. So. I'm crossing state lines by. Oh, I. I thought you said you. I don't know if I can get the keys and everything. I need to get. There's a. To be able to get into the storage unit. It might not be possible. Don't your parents just have the keys? If everything works. If everything lines up correctly, yes. Your parents should just have the keys to the storage unit. Multiple sets of keys. Keys. How does that. How should that line up? You rent a storage unit, you lock your stuff in there, you keep the key. That's not. Factor authentication brand. That's how it works. Two keys. I don't know where the key. What I'm saying is, you pull up the messages with the seller. Yes. Jersey that you have, Donnie, is from one of the first three years you played on jv. The jersey I have is your senior year. This guy's a weirdo. Senior jv. Senior year. Jv. Yeah. Yeah. I was on your side, John. Donnie, until they said they do let players buy their jerseys if they want, then he might have missed the deadline for that. Yeah, that's where I was like, oh, no, Donnie. Definitely something I would miss. Yeah, I mean, that's. That's where I was like, I was on your side up until I read that line. I was just like, oh, boy. I know, but I'm not our guy. I had. But I have my jersey in college, so that's where I'm. We'll find out next week. That sounds like something I. I do. What about this? Donnie says, I don't think that's true, cuz. No. Chris Bonvinino made the same jerseys of the. For the two years. We didn't change the. They got new kits once I left, but we had the same style. They. They were rocking for the. The last three years. But them giving these ones. Yeah, I mean, that's. I mean, come on. That's. AI slop. Max the chairs out there. AI slo. All right. AI slot. So what percentage do you think that's Mark has your jersey? I don't know. Higher than I would like to admit. Well, I have. I have the jersey that's in the storage as well. That belongs to me. Yeah, you got to sit that back. Yeah. Yeah. No, we're going to see. It's his. It's mine. We're curling for it. We're curling for it. We're curling for. But as of right now, he owns. Sure. As of right now. But as of right now, it's a storage war. Yeah. So. Right. If we can get it. If we can get it, he owns it. But not if you win the curling. Yeah, which. But if I win, I get the. The white jersey as well. Yes. Yeah. If I remember to buy that one. At this point, I don't know. But you were so certain that you just had them. What happened? My parents said they have them, so it's. I don't think they would. I don't know. I don't think they would be lying. All right. Are you ready to curl? Do you want a redraft? We'll allow that. You got used to your stones yesterday. No, I want to lose. I don't want Mincy as a stone. He's not here. Good. Perfect. You have to get. And Ethan isn't here, so you also got to make a new pick. Okay. How about this, huh? You have to have something prepared. I'm thinking. I was thinking. Brandon, there's a crop of boys up there. I'll Take Ebo and please, place of Ethan. That's a even swap right there. I'll take Hank, then swap. Okay. All right, let's go. Two even swaps. Yeah, perfectly. You ready? As I ever can be. Yeah, I don't think you are. Fire up. Yeah.

Somebody did suggest should they be doing an even number of ends so that they get an even amount of shot rocks. I don't know if that's a curling person question or not. Yeah, I don't know why they've settled on odds. I'll. I'll go throw that. They said curling is even numbers so that each team gets the same amount of shot. Maybe that's just how many chairs we have. I think it's probably more of a chair thing. No ends is how many times are being thrown. Not. Oh, oh, oh. Pardon me. Like in curling, they do 10 N's, 10 ends of eight rocks each. No, no. The last rock doesn't go. You don't know. Curly, respectively. You don't know. I'm telling you, they do even numbers. I agree, but the last rock does not have anything to do with the amount of rounds you do. You don't. That is what. No. The last rock goes to the team that scored. You guys watch gin for five minutes. It for a decade. What you just said made you sound really. You're making an ass yourself. I love. Shut your mouth, buddy. No, that's not how it works. When you score, they know more than. They know more than everybody else. They know more than everybody else. Let them. Let them make themselves. Brandon Walker making an ass of himself. Damn, that was stupid. That's a new. That's a new low, Brandon. That's a new low. That's a new low. Do whatever. Do you. Whatever you want. Do whatever you want. There Needs to be an even number of rounds and curls. Curling. There's a. Listen to me. This is what's coming to us from the curling experts. There needs to be an even number of rounds so there's an equal number of hammer throws. You know, the hammer throws those. Switch round around based on who scores. It doesn't matter. That's not. Yes, it is. Human curling rules are different. Yeah, this. This. Actually, it doesn't matter. Knock yourself out. Y', all. Y', all. Y' all do it how you want to do it. Hope they're happy. Hope you're happy. Sorry, B. Walk. I don't think you understand how the hair. He got cheated out of a round yesterday. Hope you're happy. Do it how you want to do it. Donnie, you got cheated yesterday. He's mine for Mr. Probably should still be good. Just. Yeah, don't throw it away or nothing. Just put it right back down. You guys don't know how the hammer works, and that's okay. Just say you don't know how the hammer works. Just say it. I got. I got thrown under the bus here. T.J. just say it. Sorry. Just say you don't know how the hammer. Lame. I know how sports work. Get ready. Let's go. What are we doing? Curl, curl. Traffic. Friday. Traffic. Curl. Big Cat. Brandon, let me ask you a question. If Titus throws first in the first round, who throws first in the second round? Way too many round, Donnie. No. Oh, no, I don't. Let's. Girl, let's curl. The Kennedy's backed up today. Big Cat. It's Friday. Traffic, traffic. Sitting here, watching you guys sit around. Sitting here, watching you guys sit. Sitting and sitting. Curl, Curl. Yeah, they should. They should curl. They should curl. We're ready. Got to curl. What are we doing? Curl, curl. Do however many rounds you want to do. Know what? We'll do six rounds. No, do five. You want to do five? Jacob's on my team. You want an hour of planned entertainment? Special comes out this Sunday, March, 8pm Eastern. Girl, they're not starting. It's almost like the more you can tell them to curl, the less they do it, the less they curl, the longer it's going to take. Chair. No, we're not looking for the chair. Joyce is in the chair. Brandon, you might have to get in there, speed this up. What are you guys doing? We got chair disputes. Don't wave me off, Donnie. Yeah, you were on his side. We. We have to go six. All right. We're going six rounds. Going six rounds, but you still don't understand how the hammer works. Just go. What do you want him to do? Curl. Shut up and curl. Go first. No, they got first. I'll let you have they're talking about Deutsch going up to Don Gorski. I feel like Deutsch was built for Wisconsin. He really I feel like he that's. If you told me that's where he was from, I'd be like, oh, of course. To me, Maine and Wisconsin kind of similar vibe. We're catching a lot of interesting people out of Wisconsin. Go G. Go, G. Why do you push God damn. I don't even know why you're mad at him. Gentleman's game. He got a jerk. Where is he from in Wisconsin? Fond lock. Is that nice? I think it's it's right outside Milwaukee. Why have I heard of it? Lake Winnebago by Appleton and everything in Wisconsin. Yeah, I think it's decent. All right. We're curling. First throw. Little Evan It. That's it. Wow. That's my captain. That's a great wow. That's once in Evans like. You're getting short. Donnie, blast him. Focus, Donnie. Nick, shut up. He's. He's. You're not. You're not. I tried to get you got. You're going to suck, Donnie. The people that are against him, he thinks are on his side. Yes. Oh, see? Oh, hey. Foul play. Get him out. I'll out. I'll be a Get out. Place him out. That's not gentleman curling. Spitball. No. Foot down. No, he's out. He's out. That's not gentleman curling. That doesn't matter. Still didn't touch the ground. Stop making up. Move. That's not the spirit of this game. You don't want to win like that. You don't want to win like that. Get him out of here. I want to see his foot. He changed his whole body. Body. He was scooting. It has to be Nikki smokes to everything now. Unless we let everyone do that, which I think would ruin the that's not ground sanctity of the girl. He's out. Yeah, you can't do that. And then he put his hands up. What What I do. I don't think he did anything. He's the worst dude I know. You're a stone. Smokes nothing more. Stones don't have arms. Statues Human stones do. All right, mark with the second throw. Oh, this is a blocker. Or is he just trying to youo should be racing for impact, right? Oh, it's it's really Good. Whatever. Oh, it is. Is really good. Wow, Marcus putting on a clinic. That's the problem. New Jersey. Mark, we're in a bad spot. Oh, no. So mentally, chef Donnie feels like he's already out of it. Yeah, I know. They got a blast. I'll blast Tom Hannah, blast all over. You got this, Donnie. I don't know if blasting's the move. Oh, wait. The whiff. Oh, little blast. There goes Tom. Horrific blast. Oh, that is funny to me. Yeah. I love this. I really. Here comes Deutsch. Deutsch, I think, is the best stone. Max. Max. I was gonna say Max is pretty good. Might be a little soft. Oh, that's a blocker, though. Okay, chef. Starting. You're right. You got this, bud. That was smart, cuz. Even a blast. Episode three. We're done. The show's done. You got. What is it? Is it the encouraging tone? I don't know. I don't know. I think he has trust issues. Yeah. I think he slept yesterday. He said the only person in here you trust is. Oh. Oh, big cat. That's nice. Straight for Max. Good stone. That's what we do. Wait, both are still in, though. And red. Red would be sitting. Red is still winning two here. Okay. They still have two. Little extra push there. Again, Bou rules. It depends who's closer. It's very close between evo and big. Yeah, we might need to pull out the measure again. What's he going to do here? Oh, Rick, can you steer the chair? I think I'm confused by that. I think leaning a little bit. We've learned that keeping your feet off, it makes it curve big time. So having your feet down definitely helps. Okay. Yeah. It stabilizes the wheels so you're not going everywhere. And I think the way they, like, spread their weight as much. Yes. Nope, nope, nope. Never had a chance. Horrible. To the right of those two. He's just not as consistent. So it's hard. Comes m. Oh, he's gonna have to do some loop de loops here. Our first Indian stone of the day. Oh, no. He's lined him up a little bit too good. Will also be our last. What r Brush. Lean back. Lean back. His head gets snapped off. Oh, that's a good shot. That's a really good shot. She's curving. Oh, she foot, foot, foot, V, V. Did she put her foot down? No, she's wearing giant slippers. She's wearing giant. Giant support. If anything, her putting her foot down might have hurt her. Yeah, or she would have gotten closer without putting her foot down. Oh, they're not. Oh, look at this. Max is definitely. She footed. She footed. Her and smokes are perfect for each other. Challenge foot. All right. Official challenge she foot. Well, what would it matter? She. She. She footed. But it might have helped you. She would have gotten. Stop the. Did it hit the ground? Did she put. I don't know. I don't. Another angle. I don't think she put her foot. I think she's clean. It's legit. I'm not seeing. I think. Well, as clean as she could be after smokes. She lifted one up. She did not put one down. Thanks, Brandon. Who scored? So what's the score? Score there? It's one nothing, Titus. One nothing, Titus. So Dottie went first or. Sorry, Mark went first. It's the second end. Who goes first down? Tj, do you feel good about this? You feel good about what happened? I just saw a tweet. I know, but do you feel good that. Now I'm in the fire line here. Blame the guy on Twitter. All right, go. Whoever wants to go first, go first. I don't care. I don't care. Learn curling, bro. Damn. All right. Tell you something. Yeah. It's a bad to be this. This dumb about truth. TJ set you up. Ulceberger set us both up. Brandon was set up. He was. Look at this. Wow. That is unbelievable. That is class. Now, how will Nikki smokes cheat here? This has like. He's an aggressive stun. Watch the feet on smoke Smokes. He's used to rolling, but not until big arm. What's he doing? Why is he doing that? He's in, though. Most of the Yellow stones did that last time. They just didn't get called for it. Yeah, all the Yellow Stones guys are wiggling. Big Cat did it. Nobody said anything. Yeah, yeah. That's all the extra. It's all gamesmanship. This is human curling off. No. Big Cat was just as dirty as the rest of them. Right? I agree. Tj. Tj, I'm talking to tj. You're a stone. I'm doing about Fantasy Factory Big. Oh, that's pretty good. That's great. In the middle. Yeah. Whose side are you on? I locked in. What do you want me to say? Big Cat, whose side are you on? It's a great cur. You can't compliment him or speak against him. Instead, the guy's locked in. He's curling his balls. I mean, it is true. He's going for a blast. Stones don't talk. St. Oh, he's blasting. Will it work? Oh, oh, what a. What a lean. Uhoh. Uhoh. Uhoh. That's one sledding. But if Mark. Mark. Just putting somebody in front of Max. Oh, Ebo got Alpha there. I think we're looking at another deutsche block. If I was to guess, I think he's. Just get him inside the circle. Brandon, tell Donnie to lock in for me, all right? He knows his co host. Oh, no. All right, Donnie, lock in Donnie right now. Lock in one time. Focus, Donnie. You got the. This, Donnie. All right, folks, Red is winning so far with Max in the middle. Straight as an arrow. Going to ramp into him. Has a lead. That's. That's. That's what he does. That's what he does. That's what he does. He does the push. He does the push. The cat straight push. Yeah, I did. Yeah. Look clean. Are you allowed to do that? No, he's right. The yellow team is. Oh, he's going right through. Oh, Resh could have just pushed. No, it's okay. He's out. He's out. These stones are trying to be main characters. They are. All right, so yellow is up right now. Yellow sitting for two here. You're up two zero, chef. I know. Lock in, chef. What is way too. Way too short. What the. These. Yeah, Yellowstones. Yeah, Jacob. Yeah. It's not doing him anything. Yeah, you gotta aim, Donnie. That stone was doing too. Oh, Jacob, you were the stone. He's blasting. Oh, Foot. Foot, Foot. That's foot. That's foot. You might need a replay. Hey, Mark. Big has been dirty the whole time. Big cat's been dirty the whole time. That was foot. Maybe this is why they don't play with humans. That's foot. That's curling. This. These stuff. These stones think they're the star of the show. Oh, he admitted to it. That's curling foot. Yeah, but these stones are the star of the foot. We need get them out of there. Whole new crop of stones. Yeah, get him out of there. A little less out. What do we call them out. You guys are the rest. That's. He put his foot down to stop it rolling out. We have to put ours down now. Foot down. You had. You had no other choice. You got Donnie, Donnie, Donnie. This is a new low for you. The one rule is a foot can't touch the ground. It's the one rule. What are we doing, guys? What are we doing? Are we taking them out or not? No. Keep them in. You're welcome. Is this how you want to partisanship? How you want to win? What do you make the Call, then. The stone can't make the call. Okay, make the call. Brandon. You're the curly ref. He's out. He's out. Get out of there now. Get him out of there. Yeah. Good call, Brandon. Brandon, good call. He's out when he gets back here. None of us backed you up on that. Okay, well, he. He pushed, first of all. I know. We just let him push. You got to just stay still. Anah has taken her shoes off to avoid any allegations. That's a roll, a curl. Don't look. Line. There we go. That's good. That's. And yellow takes the lead on the last throw. Oh, one one. Our the lead of that game. Score one one one. You got to. You. You got to stop. That's what you got to do. You got to stop. How many we playing? Six. Six. We took a vote and knocked you out of that one. Yeah, that's fine. I said I'd be out, okay? You don't know what he's talking about. I wasn't arguing that. Good smash. I said he should stay. Got smack. See Stones. Can't talk. Do it again. All right, it's 11 through 2. 11 through 2. Put your feet down. You know, Brandon, I got to ask. Is it smart to be going with Evo as your first stone? He's easily movable. I don't know he's easily movable, but he's been so good. I mean, he's starting off in the target. He's very accurate. Right. But only to inevitably get pushed out of the target. Watch his toes. Get out. Due to his low height and weight. But I think he's. I think he's just most confident with Ebo, and he's most confident at the end with Rick. I've noticed that as well. Oh, Ibo takes a sharp left. Good stone. Oh, it's a good stone left on this round. Are we ruining the court, by the way? Is this. Oh, yes. Okay. Certainly. Yeah. Who cares? Okay. Yeah, you're right. You're right. It's curling. Let's get another court. This thing's all gonna be ice by Monday. This guy's extra. We're gonna have to watch. Yeah, the arms out. You gotta hate that if you're the thrower. Limbs are everywhere. Yes. Oh, no. That was terrible. Doing a lot lot with the penny. Worst case scenario, disastrous. Back. He didn't. He's not moved. No, he's talking about Titus. Titus. Oh, okay. All right. Wow. That's good. It's good. Start. Lock in. Donnie the witch took A big exhale there. Looked like that was a. A sigh of relief in the. Nothing funny about curling. There's nothing funny about human curling. Oh, my God. Donnie, you're choking. A nice little ricochet here, though. Okay. Gonna push him in. Look at that. No, no, guys. God damn it. He's stone. Stones. Relax. Y' all gotta stop. Thank you. Yellow team's doing that every time. Every time. Thank you, Brandon. Go work. All right. That was a good job, Brandon. Yeah. Someone needs to take them down a nut. Just curl like gentlemen. That's all I'm asking. Gentleman's game. All you're asking. And I don't think that's asking for too much. All right, Maresha. Oh, the sharp left is getting everyone here. We need a dry mop out there. These yellow boys are pissing me off. Donnie, lock in. Oh, that seemed good. Straight throw. He's curling and curling, that boy. The court really has a slant. Were we built on it? I feel like Donnie is starting to. To think that the green line is the line. Cuz he's going short. This is huge. Take a commanding lead right here. Oh, that's a good throw. I don't know. Hot. It's a little hot. Rick, slow it down. Oh, no, man. I'll say. Rick has been this up. Yeah, Rick tremendously. Rick sucks. Not a good stone. Y' all want to talk about. About anything else? The versatility of peanut butter. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Great source of protein as well. Thinking about that. Yeah, I mean. I mean, just let. He thinks he can do anything. Getting outrageous an is in. Who's closer? Saw Deutsch yesterday. He was Deutsches. He was sitting at the desk. He was just sitting at his desk. And I said, how are things? And he said, I work here now. Thank you. That was so funny. I can see that sitting here. I was wondering why you're in this office. So that should be a point for Titus, right? Is that it? One point, Titus. We're halfway through. All right. So only halfway. Two, one. Yeah. No, right. Two, one. At this point, you might as well wait around around for traffic to die down. Right? Yellow team's gotta calm it down. Is this legal? Shouldn't be. Why? Why? Stones can't rock while you're still moving. Stones can't rock. What do you guys want? Stones can't rock. I know, right? Wow, that's brain, I think. No, no scooching. No scooching. All right. You are a. You are an inanimate object. That's what you are. Easy. He's not your Wife talking to men. Why you hollering? Well, he's really good with e. No, he might be too fast. Too fast? Oh, too soon. Now that. See, but that's a proper stone. That's a good stone. Way to not do anything, Ebo. But easy to push him out. He's easily, easily bonked out, easily displaced. I'm with. Leading with evo now. Watch this mother scoochy smoke, folks. Oh. See, the problem is you guys stop. Stop doing. No. Yeah. No. He's doing, like, a McTwist on that thing. Like, he's. Can. Can the stones not stay still Doing tricks on it. Get him out. Oh. Ejected. You're spinning your wheels. Oh, big cat's in here. You can spin wheels. I said you can't spin your wheels. I said you can't spin your wheels. You guys got to understand. You got to understand. Can I give you a little context here? Yes. Can I give you a little context why team yellow is doing all this stuff? Donnie is dog at this. Yes. He is so bad at throwing. We can't let you skirt the rules. I understand, but we're trying to help so bad that you should be allowed cheat with him. Dude, your throws are so bad, but you have to try to help. It's one thing if you cheat. I understand. I, I know. Listen, I, I. I'm telling you, though, it's not like we're trying to cheat, like, in a nefarious way. It's just he's so bad. Guys need to be more discreet. Jacob, hold. So bad. Every throw is the bad throw. Get better at cheating. Okay. All right. Yeah. We don't want to make that call, but you make. We have to make the call. But you have to understand what he's saying. Like, we're dealing with a guy who is. You want a good series? Now you go straight. No, he doesn't go straight. Like, we're dealing with a guy who cannot curl. Curl. Hear you. Okay. Oh, sorry. Sorry.

And Jacob sitting right in front of the camera, thankfully. All right, Donnie is up one right now. Jacob, move one yellow on the board. Oh, I'd hate to be a stone in the smash zone right now. Jacob, you make a better stone than a door. A window. So this is nice. He might have a towel here. A little hot. Too hot. Too hot. All he has to do is if it. You can just put him inside the circle. This should be a point. Oh, is Evo closer? Oh, no. Oh, Big Cat's gonna be upset. Oh, did Red have the lead here? Oh, they did. It's Titus. It's a point for Titus. Pardon me. Yes. Three, one, Red. Three, one. Three, one, Three, one. And that was the very first stone. Yeah, you were right. Ippo hung onto the end. Huh? Double or nothing. What you say?

He's the worst person we got. Max, he sucks. What do you want me to say? Deutsch is also in a different chair. Deutsch is in a different chair. Deutsch can have his own chair. The only one in the silver box. Oh, that's a micro dirtier chair. Do not tell Donnie. Oh, it's pretty good. A great spot to be right in front of the target. Blocking anyone else from coming. Can only go within. Deeper within the target at this point. Get on his team, Big Cat. It's a perfect shot. That looks like a perfect shot. Oh, my gosh. Does Donnie not get the rules by now? Donnie, do you not understand? I don't think he knows what he's supposed to do. Donnie, the red, white, and blue circle. He doesn't. He's gonna have no jerseys Left. It's gonna be out of clothes. Triple or nothing. Right or left? You're going to. You're going to go left. Rick has not had a good, good moment yet. Will you go right this time, Rick? Rick doesn't have it. Rick sucks. Yeah.

He stopped himself. He's out. How? How? How? He stopped himself. He stopped himself. That would have helped. That would have helped. Do. Right in the middle of. No, he stopped himself himself after he hit the. Why are they doing that? That was a perfect roll. He didn't need to put his stop himself. He didn't need to do that. Clean boy. Oh. Feet were down. Feet. What is. Wrong rate of contact. Look at that. He put both feet down. Is there a human curling injury? Do we have an injury? No. He's out. Right in the middle of the thing. Donnie, get your stones in order. Your stones are a problem. Guys. No feet. Oh, look at this. Look at this. Look at Mark Titus. Oh, wait, wait. He won't stop. Oh. Oh. He's in. All right. He's in. Now all you gotta do is get inside that big blue circle. Late now, but they could have argued. Deutsch should still be in the middle. It's too late now. I think he was gonna get Mark. Come on, Mark. He's right. You're right, Donnie. That was crazy. That was crazy. I'll. I'll stop him from there. Punch me. Where? Jacob? Weird guy. Touch me. All right, you know where to go. Don't, honey. Too fast. That's another point for mark Titus. It's four one. I mean, four. One. Two left. Four one with two left. That was the fourth end. That was the fourth end. I. I was mistaken before. That's what T.J. j. Said. You. You didn't score two at one point, did I? I believe he did. Did he? He did. What about him? I don't. Did he? Did he? It was one nothing then. It was one one, then it was two one, Right. Are you sure that was the fifth end? I'm not sure of anything anymore. Brandon. Yeah. Are you going to look? Should I hold him? I just said kill. What? Hold. Hold. We're going to the. To the V to see if it's been four or five ins. Okay? Oh, my God. There's one nothing. And it was one one, then it was two one, then it was three one. Yeah, they've all scored one. So it's. It's. It's been five, right? Or did I get two? Hold on. That was five. That was five. Ladies and gentlemen, after five ins, it is four to one one. There's one end left. It all comes down to this. It all comes down to this. All right, so he needs tj. Why don't you that up? We had it right until you corrected me. You the man. All right, this is rally time for Donnie here. This is rally time. Nikki Smokes is already cheating. See? Natural. Nope. Same as always. Yep. All right, but that was good ethics from Nikki Smokes. I like that. Good effort, Donnie. Still, That looks good. That's nice. That's. That's real. Mark Titus. That's nice. What can't you say about Mark? I mean, the guy can you human curl. A guy can human curl. We're just watching differently matched teeth. Yeah. At this point. Just might as well cheat at this point. Hey, Donnie, you're running out of stones. Rick just doesn't have it today. No, he does, but Mark Titus does. Mark Titus does. Yep. Of course Mark Titus has it. Oh, the big cat is taking. Wow. Oh, wow. Penny has come off in regulation. Yeah, I mean, listen, this is. I'm out. Good choice. It's just a difference in curlers, man. The worst curler ever. He doesn't get anything into the. Now, wait a minute. You might want to wait a minute minute. No, I can't. Well, I'm out right now. That was the throw of the day. That was the throw. Throw of the day, Donnie. But he has to score. He has to score three. Mark tight his hand, so he has to. He has to keep Tom closest, and he's got to get two more. All Mark has to do is really knock Tom out of the way. It'll be over. All right, Donnie, get these two in. Donnie, if you get these two in, you can tie. Oh, Hank with a fresh Hank. A fresh Hank. His eyes are. Can't go with the eyes closed. Just sleeping. Oh, I was going through. I think. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's Over. Over. Did you guys see me hit the hydraulics? Yeah, that was. I was. And we said at this point, just let you do it. You going to concede? Are you conceding? No. Doesn't know what it means. Wants to take Max for another ride. That's. There you go. Hey, at least for the scoreboard, let's get another point. Let's get respectable here. Hey, let's get in. Four, three, final. And she's been your best stone. Four, three, final. Oh, no. You failed again. You failed again. All right. It is over, Mark. Titus, was it? Four, two, handshake. Donnie, come here. Yeah, you get both of his jerseys. That's a tough game on the curl. Have a seat. Nick left. Have a seat, Donnie. Where do you think it went wrong? Are you just really bad at ice sports? What do you think this is? It's curling. In what world is this? You never played hot, you didn't play past JV hockey, and now you can't curl. I'm just reporting on what I saw. You're. You're never getting food again. Oh, my God. No. Oh, I apologize. Doesn't matter. I'm sorry. No. At this point, I'm wondering, like, do we just keep playing until Donnie wins one? Yeah. I mean, I know what other jerseys are out there that I, I, I offered him up his Social Security card. To which Donnie said, that doesn't matter. It's just three numbers. Know what I meant? And I'm not going to. Is that what he said? I mean, yeah, there's a valid explanation for that. I'm not going to say it. I'm not going to dox myself. Don't dox yourself yourself. But even he only has a three banger. Valid. But Cat, I don't think he'll ever win curling. I don't think. I don't think so. I don't think he. He just can't curl. He had all the help in the world. The man can't curl. And I love the guy. We tried to cheat so hard for you, Donnie. You're cheering for the other team the whole time. No, I wasn't. I didn't even have my A game today. That wasn't even. I wasn't even good. I was not cheering for the other team. Titus, that Deutsch shot. Deutsch was. Was a non factor. And then he made the adjustment and it was a perfect shot. Yeah. Dance sports fan. And he respects great sports. Corre. Correct. Donnie's not even that bad. Titus just. Oh, Donnie sucks, though. Donnie got It. Donnie does suck at it. I mean, let's just. Let's call it spade a spade. Donnie sucks at it. Joey, when are you going to Minnesota? I. Yeah, I. I did offer on mostly sports. If you have trouble with the storage unit or you're not able to get the keys sorted out in time, I will be in Minneapolis the first weekend of April, and I. I'd be happy to help. Yeah, Joey, that's sweet. Perfect. Thank you, Joey. That's very nice of you. Go pick up the tickets, joey.com. yeah, check that. Of course, the paperwork with the keys. The paperwork. It would have to be sorted out by that time. If it wasn't, by the time Donnie does the white jersey, is it, like, the same fit? Is it the same cut? It would have to be, right? Question. Yeah, it was a dumb question. It has to be so. Because I promised that one to Deutsch. So now me, me, Max, and Deutsch are going to go out on St. Patrick's Day wearing the jersey. Yeah. Right. Clean rebus. Yeah. Well, I mean, you got to get it the next couple of weeks. I'm gonna have to, quote, treat that and say, dudes rock. Yeah. Yep. Have to. Well done. Yeah. It's just a shame the yolk goes down so far on that year. I know that year's kind of know. It's good. It does it. So we know it's 2015. That is true. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Nice job. What do you. What? What? What? What do you want? Good. Well said. What do you want? What do you want? All right. Take all my jerseys. I don't. Who cares? Yeah, but you don't probably don't even have them. You want my bantam? You want my peewee jersey? You want all of them? Yeah, I think he does. I think that's where we're going. Just take them all. You know, that was on the table. I go great on the baby. Have Donnie. What if I set up a room in my house as the. The Chef Donnie Museum? Like, we got the World Compton Museum here. You can. You can be one of my bathrooms. That'd be awesome. Honestly, that's kind of cool. Hang up on your. Cool. As long as there's a bidet. What? Make sure it's time to sauce. There's gonna be. Yeah, I'm a bidet guy. Well, let's hope the room. You didn't say what room. I guess now we should hope it's a bathroom. There's just a bidet. That's one thing you have. Guys are both bidet, guys. Oh, look at us, Donnie. You both like water. What's your favorite? Yeah, what's your favorite thing about a bidet? Mine's in the water. Squirts up in your butthole. What about you? Nice. You like something else? Pretty much the only thing it does. He's right. Dis your ever say not now I'm covered in mud. No, that more. No more mud today. No. No. What's the point anymore? Yeah. This sucks. All right, well, I mean, incredible week of yak. Yeah. I feel like so much happened. So many jerseys. Of course. Acquired so many jerseys. Miny Pro day. Gorski. Gorski. What a week, man. Gorski versus Jeff DLO is going to be a rivalry to keep an eye on. We're just. We're just getting rivalries all over the place. Yeah. Okay, let's spin the wheel. And next week is. Yeah, you're another big week. Yeah. Thursday, Friday, game one and two of the. That's baseball. Baseball competition. Big shows. Five minute verbal recap of Mincy's poker tournament yesterday.

Great week, everybody. Love you guys. See you Monday. Bye.
The Yak crew gathers for a lively Friday show, mixing their usual banter and inside jokes with a much-anticipated interview: Don Gorske, the Guinness World Record holder for most Big Macs eaten. The first half of the episode delivers plenty of Yak camaraderie—discussing ancestry, Barstool rivalries, and curling tournaments—before transitioning into an in-depth, hilarious, and strangely touching conversation with Don Gorske about his Big Mac obsession, simple Midwestern life, and unexpected internet rivals.
Notable Quotes:
Quote:
“I just wanted the idea of it being his jersey to get under his skin, but now I have confirmation—it is 100% his.” – Titus (28:24)
Memorable Moments:
Yak crew unanimously backs Don:
Exuberant, fast, a little mean (in a loving way)—the Yak at its most breakneck: inside jokes fly, arguments and pranks are ironic and affectionate, and the crew displays both mock cynicism and genuine sentiment, especially after talking with Don Gorske. The episode balances rapid-fire comedy with flashes of sincerity and the odd detour into internet beef.
This Yak episode is a showcase of everything that makes the show tick: goofy office games, running bit rivalries, encyclopedic knowledge of Barstool lore, and the ability to sincerely admire the world’s quirkiest people. The Don Gorske interview may start as a curiosity but turns into a surprisingly heartwarming account of one man’s honest, purposeful life—serving as both a comedic oddity and an (unironically) inspiring lesson on fulfillment, consistency, and loving what you love, no matter how weird it seems. Plus, it sparked the most unlikely Barstool rivalry yet: Don Gorske versus Jeff D. Lowe.
