Every round is unpredictable, chaotic and ridiculously fun. Who's the Bad Guy is great for parties, pre games, family gatherings or groups who just love deception based games.

[Ron]

Oh, we went right to it, I think.

[Brandon]

Are we back?

[Kyle]

Check.

[Brandon]

Do we actually work?

[Ron]

Hello?

[Brandon]

Why?

[TJ]

Who.

[Brandon]

Who's in the booth right now?

I'm here with Stefan.

So here's my question and I'm not, I'm not trying to be a dick, but it does bother me at this point because three out of the last five shows you had technical difficulties. A lot of people watch this show. We put in a lot of work. Everyone works really hard here. Why the fuck aren't we testing it every single day? Like when we make a switch? Why aren't we testing it? Why are we testing it a million times? Why are we testing it before the show is live?

[Stefan]

We test it. However, this is a new system. It's a little different than the last one and it, it is a little wonky. We are getting backups in place. So if this does happen, we'll at Least have a backup that we can switch to without having to start over. So.

[Brandon]

But that. So that right there, what you just said, that makes no sense to me. Why didn't we have a backup when we switched to the new system? We just went to a new system. We're like, hope it works. That makes no sense.

[Stefan]

Correct.

[Brandon]

Like, I feel like we're cutting corners on some of this, and that's what bothers me. If. If breaks usually 7. We've been working together for a long time when breaks. Like, I'm not someone who gets upset like. Like right away. Like, I. I understand there's some things are just out of our hands, but, like, three out of five shows and not having a backup and not having, like, a secondary plan for this is, like, that's nuts.

[Stefan]

Yep.

[Brandon]

Now I'm happy. You got relish hand.

Yeah.

[Mark]

Yeah, you did get relished.

[Stefan]

Great.

[Brandon]

More where that.

I wish you'd gotten more.

[Ron]

Is it.

[Mark]

Is it your.

[Stefan]

I want it. I want it on record when this breaks. Like, I. And it's not just you guys. It's like, we're not trying to go out of our way to.

[Brandon]

I know you aren't. But like, to say there's no backup plan, and then being like, we're gonna get a backup plan. We switched our entire system over with no backup plan. That feels like crazy to me. All right, I don't want to yell at you. I want to yell at Pete. So no Pete on zoom. No, no, I want to yell at Pete because Pete. I had nothing to do with it, but I like to yell at. I know you do, because Pete can take it. And I don't feel bad when I yell at Pete because he just sits there, he drinks his cum, and he's like, oh, nothing we could do.

[Ron]

He's still.

[Brandon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kyle]

That grosses me out, by the way,

[Brandon]

dude, he's been doing it all week. I've been seeing him all week, drinking. All right, we can talk after. I don't want to ruin the whole show.

[Ron]

Welcome to the Yak.

[Kate]

Are we on?

[Ron]

I would like to apologize. I don't know if it went out the first time yesterday. I started the show by poo pooing deut and white socks Dave going out to storm chase. I thought 10. Terrible idea. Horrible. Stupid. Don't send these idiots out there. And these idiots went out there and. Unbelievable. Like, everything that happened was unbelievable. Yeah. They see a tornado, they react to a tornado, everything. They get exactly what they want. But then the second things go bad, they. And the Guy that was driving them. They hop out. They end up helping, they end up getting. They did everything unbelievably right.

[Brandon]

Selfless.

You got to get Dave down here.

[Kate]

Dave.

[Brandon]

Dave. I spoke to him this morning. Is like still very shaken up. Didn't sleep last night.

[Jack G]

Wow.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

In a tornado.

And then everything he had to do.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

He said one dot. I don't want to tell the story.

[Kate]

Deutsche was rattled.

[Kyle]

Maybe get Deutsch too, because he might have his own side of the story.

[TJ]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Go get the boys. I'm sorry I got mad. I'm mad for the fans. That's really what it comes down to. I'm pissed because the fans are the most loyal fans in the world. And. And I want them to have a good product. And I take pride in that. So I apologize. We'll figure out after to have a backup plan or whatever.

[Ron]

The

[Kyle]

same thing happened to Jimi Hendrix and the who when he puked Woodstock

[Brandon]

and swallowed his puke and died.

The Woodstock festival.

[TJ]

Oh.

[Kyle]

Just non stop audio issues and.

[Brandon]

Is that true?

[Kyle]

Sound distortions no one could hear.

[Brandon]

Is that true?

[Kate]

Yeah. Jimmy Page put his hand in relish.

[Brandon]

What happened with Stephanie.

What is relish?

[Stefan]

You.

[Jack G]

Yeah. We didn't explain that. Yeah.

[Brandon]

Who's to blame for that? And thank you, by the way.

[Jack G]

I'll take credit for it now.

[Brandon]

Okay.

[Jack G]

Yesterday I just put some relish in the bag of Reese's that Kate usually eats. And then this morning, Stefan out of nowhere went to eat those Reese's and he got relished.

[Kate]

Put his hands in a big bag of relish.

[Brandon]

So you hadn't relish handed yourself yet?

[Kate]

Nope.

[Jack G]

Should have been.

[Kate]

Stefan took a bullet for me. So good. Just a green bullet for me.

[TJ]

Dave.

[Brandon]

How long do we think Dave keeps this Goodwill Day?

[Kate]

I think he's probably going to ruin it during this conversation.

[Brandon]

What's wrong? Brandon? What's wrong? Brandon?

[Nick]

What?

[Stephen]

What?

[Kyle]

More. What?

[Brandon]

No. He's the last person I want to see. Wait, wait.

[Ron]

No.

[Stefan]

He just said other stairs.

[Brandon]

Always eager to work.

[Kate]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon]

Get the out of here, Mincy.

[Stefan]

He's.

[Brandon]

This would be the worst show for him to come on right now because I'll just. I'll get upset.

[Mark]

All right.

[Brandon]

Hey, White Sox Dave and Deutscher here. Gentlemen, can we play the clip from. You guys saw a tornado? How far away were you from it?

[Nick Bartholomew]

100 yards.

[Deutsche]

He kind of went through the back end.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Yeah.

[Deutsche]

Of it.

[Brandon]

Are you guys still rattled?

[Nick Bartholomew]

Yeah. Yeah, we. So I didn't say it online last night, but there was three dogs. We found two of them. We thought the third one was gone under the rubble, but I got a call like 15 minutes ago. They found the third dog alive.

[Mark]

That.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Yeah.

[Deutsche]

Good. Wow.

[Nick Bartholomew]

That lifted like a gigantic weight off my shoulder. I did not want to come in

[Brandon]

this because you were like teary eyed when I was speaking to you this morning talking about that third dog.

This is a part of storm chasing where it's like, it's crazy to see a storm and then the aftermath is nuts with. Holy shit.

[Kate]

What were you guys feeling in this moment, seeing it come down? Were you scared yet? Or were you like the way.

[Nick Bartholomew]

The best way I could describe it, no one here hunts, but it was like the first time I hunted. It's in an unbelievably absurd adrenaline rush. Like a euphoric high almost.

[Brandon]

And will you be doing this again?

[Nick Bartholomew]

I didn't. Like the end of the night.

[Jack]

No.

[Dante]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Deutsch.

[Kyle]

You experienced no urge to flee.

[Nick Bartholomew]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Deutsche]

I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't do it again.

[Nick]

Wow.

[Nick Bartholomew]

If that wouldn't have happened, I would have brought the whole office tomorrow, for sure. Storms, it was that cool until that part that made it very real. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brandon]

So the tornado.

[Nick]

Go.

[Brandon]

Wait, go to the end of that. Towards the end of that. It goes like in front of them.

[TJ]

We.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Yeah, so it cuts over right here. You can't even see the house right now. So I. It was never in my eyesight at any point until.

[Kate]

But that's where the house was.

[Nick Bartholomew]

That's right here is where the house.

[Deutsche]

Yeah.

[Nick Bartholomew]

So all of that shit.

[Kyle]

I would have made him stop.

[Brandon]

Well, I mean, they're doing their job, I guess.

Is that another storm chaser?

[Nick Bartholomew]

Yeah, that's another storm chaser. That is Adam Lucio, I think is his last name. He's apparently like the best in the house. That's the barn across the street. We. There was someone in it, but they found him. Yeah, it was. It was a like house, barn. Yeah.

[Brandon]

So this happens, then you guys get out and you just start trying to help with the. With like the wreckage. Right.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Like there's the phrase, you can't believe your eyes. I didn't believe what I was looking at. I really didn't. It was that. It was that absurd. I did not like compute what was going on. Until I get to like outside the other car because the car in front of us was blocking all the wreckage. I didn't even see the house in the street. And then I'm walking towards it. I see a toilet in the Middle of the road. And then I look to the right, I'm like, holy. There's a guy's arm sticking out. And a couple of these guys had, had just seen it. So we sprinted over there. We had the stream going and everything. It was, it was super up. I didn't like it.

[Brandon]

Damn, I loved it.

[Nick Bartholomew]

It was an awesome day until that.

[Brandon]

You guys did a very good thing, obviously.

Yeah.

When did you feel good about that?

When did you guys get back?

[Nick Bartholomew]

2:00am yeah.

[Stephen]

Gee.

[Brandon]

So after you help with the rubble, you got everyone accounted for then you guys.

[Deutsche]

We had a four hour trip back. We had to drop off Nick's brother Dave. And that probably took like four. Probably took like four hours.

[Brandon]

So I didn't realize this, but this is kind of what someone was saying that storm chasing, like they'll go chase the storms but the minute that the storm passes, like they get out and help.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Yeah. So someone was telling me that I guess Doge cut the National Weather Service funding a bunch and now they don't have like the best technology to predict where tornadoes are going to hit. But the tornado chasers have the best technology.

[Brandon]

Yeah. That's why Ryan Hall, y', all and, and Max velocity, like they're actually doing an incredible service.

[Nick Bartholomew]

So Ryan Hall's got, I guess a, A not for profit organization that's tied to his actual company that helps people that experience what we saw last night.

[Brandon]

Yeah, yeah. Tj, if you can put the, the, the link in there, I, I donated last night and tweeted out. But yeah, it's, it's like, it's just devastation on some of these small towns. It's crazy.

The four hour drive back, did you guys even speak or just sit there?

[Deutsche]

No, it. Honest, it went by really quick cuz it, I think if we didn't see a tornado, it would have been a

[Nick Bartholomew]

shitty, like it would have felt like 10 hours.

[Deutsche]

Yeah, would have felt 10 hours.

[Nick Bartholomew]

But it just, the adrenaline was going. So it was still court. It's still coursing through. My hands are still shaking. Like that four hour trip back flew like.

[Deutsche]

Nick was on the phone with like people from CNN trying to sell his video.

[TJ]

Trying to.

[Deutsche]

That part was kind of interesting seeing how that was done. People that he knew in other parts of the country were asking him to

[Nick Bartholomew]

like look at mom.

[Deutsche]

Yeah, his mom was in northern Kentucky and she had a tornado pass her house by like a half mile, I think.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Half mile.

[Deutsche]

He was telling her to like get into the pantry. So it's cool. What he could pull up on his computer.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

I tuned into Ryan Halyal and Max Lossy last night. It's nuts. Their ability like they were. They'll just be like, hey, this is the county. It's coming. Get, get in your basement in like the next 15 minutes. Like that. So they are doing incredible.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Destroys the theory that they're just. No, I see fun.

[Nick Bartholomew]

No, not completely. There were a couple people out there that like they went and looked at the records. You're like, all right, they're fine. Let's go and catch the next one.

[Brandon]

Yeah, those are the kind. That's what we're saying. The content creator part of it is.

[Ron]

Is weird to me, but there are.

[Brandon]

It does seem like there's the majority of people who are out there and especially Ryan, Holly all and Maxi are doing the right thing and trying to help people. Yeah, it's crazy, but if you guys

[Kate]

hadn't been chasing that turn, those people would have just there for a long time.

[Nick Bartholomew]

We were just upstairs. I got the, the Google Earth view of the house and I was looking at it on Google Maps and a literal one in a billion shot that hit this house. There is nothing but cornfields and this little tiny like 400 square foot house on the corner of a street, nothing around it. And it just smoked it.

[Brandon]

Damn.

Deut. You were saying it was a miracle. Like you said, they were like halfway out the door when it hit him or something.

[Deutsche]

They must have been like both on the way out the door. I think the dogs ran out before them because it was just a roof on top of rubble. Like if they didn't get out the door, they would have been crushed, caved in. Yeah, yeah. I still don't know how they're alive.

[Brandon]

How were you speaking to them as you were waiting for the ambulance?

[Deutsche]

They had like, the woman had like a sense of humor. She was like cracking jokes. They were like, she handled it incredibly

[Nick Bartholomew]

good spirits, possibly as well as she possibly could have. They were more worried about finding the dogs. Like I don't want to send them the address or say it online, but there was a. There's a tree line a couple hundred yards. It would have been east of their house. I saw the dog running from that tree line, so I don't know if he likes got spooked in around out there. The tornado lifted him out there, but he was like hundreds of yards away.

[Brandon]

Damn.

[Kate]

Wow.

[Brandon]

Damn.

[Dante]

Wow.

[Brandon]

Well, thank you guys for going out there.

[Jack G]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

That's incredible.

[Brandon]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Deutsche]

I mean people in the comments were like, you guys are doing this. You might See something you don't want to see.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Deutsche]

I mean, I never really thought. I'm like, yeah, we're going to see it going through like a corn field or exactly. Snap a couple trees. But yeah, again, it was a really cool. And like, it's bad. We were like high fiving and like excited to just see it. And then all of a sudden you look over and. Yeah, it was pretty.

[Mark]

I think that's how we all thought it was just sort of. You guys are just goofing around. That's kind of. We were doing it for chasing a little bit.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Yeah.

[Mark]

Adrenaline and. Won't this be kind of funny to have the boys out?

[Deutsche]

Yeah, yeah, that's what I was. Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

[Ron]

And.

[Mark]

But no, this. I mean, this is like in a roundabout way, this is way better, you know, like, this is.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Broken legs.

[Mark]

Literally saved you guys brave as fuck

[Kyle]

for getting out of the car.

[Brandon]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Deutsche]

I mean, what's also nice is the storm chasers. A lot of them are like either firefighters or they're certified and they all have first responders.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Deutsche]

And they rush out and they have like blankets and stuff. I mean, we didn't. I didn't really know what to do. I just was like looking for their dogs.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Deutsche]

But which.

[Kate]

Very helpful.

[Deutsche]

It's weird because you don't really know. There's not much you can do. You just kind of wait for it.

[Nick Bartholomew]

30 minutes to get it took out. Yeah, I. I don't. If we weren't there, they might have still been under that rubble. There is nothing around them. Absolutely nothing.

[Brandon]

Jesus.

[Mark]

You could live.

[Kate]

Aside from that part, obviously, which was the heaviest part of the day. Do you have any other notes or thoughts about storm chasers or the day where, like, was there, like, highlight, like, was there. I know that's heavy. But like, do you have any other.

[Nick Bartholomew]

It went from one of the absolute coolest things I've ever done in my life to that. If you remove that. I like I said, I would have taken anybody who. I would have hit him up. Nick, by the way. Who? Nick Bartholomew, who was our storm chasing coach or whatever. Awesome. He was awesome. Dude, Stooly. Big fan. Great dude. Would have had whoever wanted to go if there was a storm tonight. I'd be like, let's go. Let's go do it again. But I don't want to do that again because of that. I'm sure he says they see that shit all the time. I did not like that.

[Jack G]

No.

[Mark]

Damn.

[Brandon]

All right, well, thank you, guys.

Boys, try to, like.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Yeah, donate, please. I'm gonna set up a gofundme for her directly. I got her number. All three dogs are good. Couple cats, I don't know, but.

[Brandon]

Wait, what?

[Nick Bartholomew]

A couple cats that I haven't heard of so far, but the three dogs made it. The three people are fine. Broken leg, maybe a broken hip, a couple scuffs, but.

[Kyle]

Oh, you could have done a little more.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Deutsche]

You don't know where to begin digging.

[Nick Bartholomew]

You can tell them about the other animals if you want. Deutsche.

[Jack]

I don't.

[Deutsche]

Okay.

[Dante]

Well,

[Brandon]

no, I mean, we can.

[Deutsche]

So the woman.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Now that I know the third dog.

[Deutsche]

Well, there was one point where I lost. I lost it a little bit. Was because I knew that. I knew they were okay. The dogs were accounted for. And I went to get water and I turned the corner and Dave was cutting chickens heads off.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Yeah, there was a couple of chick. They had a chicken.

[Brandon]

What?

[Deutsche]

And I guess there were some injured chickens. I didn't know what was going on. He was putting them out of their misery.

[Nick Bartholomew]

There was a couple of chickens.

[Brandon]

Not our Dave.

[Nick Bartholomew]

No, I was. Yes.

[Stephen]

What?

[Brandon]

You just turn the corner and do ripping?

Why you have to do that job.

[Jack G]

Job for the farmer.

[Deutsche]

I literally peed in my pants a little bit from, like, so shocked.

[Brandon]

Did anybody tell you to rip the chicken's heads off?

[Nick Bartholomew]

She did. She did. I'm like, ma', am, I don't think your birds are going to make it. There was a couple of chickens, and was it a.

[Brandon]

What the.

[Jack G]

Was it a smooth process?

[Deutsche]

He had, like, a very dull knife, and he was.

[Mark]

What?

[Stephen]

Also sucks.

[Jack]

Stop.

[Ron]

Hold on, hold on.

[Brandon]

I thought you were going to say sharp knife.

[Mark]

No, it.

[Kate]

It was.

[Brandon]

No, it wasn't. He, like. He was like, you hold the knife.

[TJ]

I held the knife.

[Brandon]

It was.

[Nick Bartholomew]

It was plenty sharp. The chickens. One of the wings were completely up, and it was. You could tell, like, dying. Dying. But it was trying to live. It was trying to walk around. I didn't have a choice.

[Kate]

Yeah, yeah.

[TJ]

No, no.

[Brandon]

It just caught me off guard.

[Jack G]

It's like.

[Nick Bartholomew]

It's like a nervously just cleaned, like, 15 turkeys with Sydney Wells and Texas. So I have been a little desensitized to that. But, like, I was. These chickens were, like, literally dying in front of me. I had to do it.

[Brandon]

Yeah, right. The right thing. But Deutsch, you were turning.

[Nick Bartholomew]

How did you react?

[Ad Read Announcer]

What.

[Stefan]

What.

[Nick Bartholomew]

What scene did you walk?

[Deutsche]

Like, I walked around the corner of the car, and you were, like, on a knee, just sawing one of the heads. Off. And you know how they say, like, they live for.

[Brandon]

They were. Cuz it was dull.

[Dante]

Yeah.

[Deutsche]

They lived for a little while, like, shooting.

[Nick Bartholomew]

I got its head off in a second. It was. It was quick and as painless as I could make it.

[Jack]

Yeah, good.

[Brandon]

She told you to, like, go kill my chickens.

[Nick Bartholomew]

I told her. I'm like, ma', am, your chickens are. They're dying right now. And she's like, go put them out of their misery.

[Jack G]

So it was like a quick. It was a quick chop.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[TJ]

No.

[Brandon]

How many?

[Nick Bartholomew]

Pin it down and went like, how, like hard. Two.

[Kyle]

Two.

[Brandon]

And the cats.

[Nick Bartholomew]

I didn't see the. I didn't see one cat. She said there was a. At least a kitten. How many did.

[Deutsche]

There was a cat and a kitten.

[Nick Bartholomew]

A cat and a kitten. Six rabbits. And one of the rabbits was hopping around, I guess, but I didn't see it.

[Kyle]

Good sign.

[Nick Bartholomew]

I'm just glad the dogs are okay and the people are okay. Yeah, I would imagine they were going to eat the chickens anyways.

[Deutsche]

You were talking about possibly taking one home.

[Kyle]

The chickens would have been.

[Brandon]

You were talking about taking a chicken home.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Needed a home in my stomach.

[Brandon]

Those people just lost everything.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Yeah, I know, but you're gonna take their food.

[Jack G]

Chicken break.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Yeah.

[Deutsche]

Well, it's probably. It's probably still there.

[Jack]

Rotted.

[Deutsche]

It was probably.

[Nick Bartholomew]

I would imagine that it's still just chilling there. Unless coyotes or something got it.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Oh, you did the right thing.

[Kyle]

You did do the right.

[Brandon]

You did the right thing.

[Nick Bartholomew]

And Ronnie, I. I was watching it die right in front.

[Brandon]

I would not have been able to do that.

[Jack G]

No.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Like I said, I just done it with Sydney, so I. A little desensitized to it, and it was dying in front of me, and I didn't like it, but it had to be done.

[Brandon]

Okay.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Well, thank you, boys. Appreciate.

[Nick Bartholomew]

It was insane.

[Brandon]

Everyone, please donate.

[TJ]

Yeah, donate.

[Nick Bartholomew]

I'll like. Yeah, make a gofundme or something. I got her number. I'm going to give them a few

[Brandon]

days before I reach out.

Dave, try to, like, do something light today.

[Kyle]

I. Yeah, take it.

[Nick Bartholomew]

I have not something.

[Brandon]

Yeah, right.

[Nick Bartholomew]

A wink. I am going home after this and sleeping the rest.

[Brandon]

Go watch some World Cup.

[Mark]

Yeah, do something silly.

[Kyle]

Yeah, go. Yeah.

[Mark]

Be a little silly.

[Kyle]

Shut up.

[Brandon]

Someone give him a raspberry.

[Mark]

Yeah,

[Brandon]

yeah.

[Mark]

Blow your tummy.

[Brandon]

Yeah, yeah. Blow his tummy.

[Kyle]

Let's run a raspberry train.

[Brandon]

Blow his tummy.

[Kyle]

Come on.

[Brandon]

Oh, that was good. That was good.

[Mark]

That was fun, right?

[Brandon]

That was silly.

Is he smiling?

[Kate]

Smiling?

[Mark]

I think we gotta institute that as a company.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Something dark happens.

[Mark]

Yeah, you need to pick me up. Just get a raspberry. Oh.

[Brandon]

Oh, you had a death in the family. Get over here. Let me raspberry your ass real quick. Ron, you missed quite a start to the show, buddy.

[TJ]

I was just watching the tail end of it there. What the.

[Mark]

Yeah, I mean, you're putting me in a bad spot.

[Kyle]

As soon as Deutsch started the dull night, when he said the doll, I lost it.

[Brandon]

I lost that. We have to laugh at it.

And then you were like, how dull?

And he goes, barry. Yeah. I was waiting for sharp kn.

[Jack G]

Knife.

[Brandon]

I went. He's like. It was a very dull knife.

[Mark]

I had a little pee in my pants as I saw Dave.

[Brandon]

I turned the corner and Dave's just ripping.

[Ron]

Don't tell the story.

[Brandon]

Is that. Is that peed on? Oh, what's up? Oh, guess what.

[Ron]

He doesn't work either.

[Jack G]

Is he not in the office anymore?

[Brandon]

Where are you?

[Ron]

He was just.

[Jack G]

He was here yesterday.

[TJ]

I'm at the.

[Ron]

I'm at the Vic.

[TJ]

All right, hold on.

[Brandon]

I'm. Do Roback read. You're gonna have to listen to it. Roebuck activewear. Best fit, best feel. Roebuck just drops new products you need to know about first. Swim trunks, quick dry, four way stretch. Built in liner. Pool, lake, boat, beach. These things are built for all. During the read. The liner is so comfortable, you actually want to wear it.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

I don't want to belabor this, but what the.

[Stephen]

What.

[Brandon]

What.

What happened?

It did, bro. The yak broke again. Three out of the last five days, it's broken.

I was. I don't know what broke me. And some. Maybe someone can tell me, but I was told that on one occasion.

[Stefan]

Dante.

[Brandon]

The one was.

[Nick]

Was.

[Brandon]

It was Dante today.

[Unknown/Ad Voice]

Not the man.

[Brandon]

That's a program.

[Stefan]

The program.

[Brandon]

There's a program.

[Ron]

We're asking for trouble.

[Brandon]

God damn it, Pete. You put us on Dante and then.

Yeah, the whole office runs on Dante. We came running

him on digital audio network through Ethernet. Oh, okay. So what the.

[Jack]

Well, the.

[Brandon]

I One of them, I was told was the intro just had black on the end. And then when it went to black, everyone freaked out and rebooted everything.

[Stefan]

Not to tell myself that was a different show.

[TJ]

Okay.

[Brandon]

But we had one where we didn't start for 15 minutes. That was Monday. This one.

What happened on.

[Jack]

What happened there?

[Brandon]

I don't know.

[Ron]

1. We had 16 tries at the intro.

[Brandon]

Yeah. And we need a backup. Where's the backup, Pete?

[Ad Read Announcer]

What?

[Brandon]

I mean we, we've got.

We've got it there.

[Jack]

I don't know.

[Jack G]

We gotta figure.

[Brandon]

We gotta figure out why this is why I wanted him on. Because he doesn't give answers.

[Nick]

He just.

[Brandon]

Yeah, we got to figure it out.

[Kyle]

I don't know.

[Nick Bartholomew]

I'm not.

[Brandon]

I'm not there.

[Mark]

How certain are you that tomorrow's show will start and. And complete without a hitch?

[Brandon]

Not certain at all based on what I'm hearing.

Okay, well come. Come back here and fix it.

I can come back in like July.

Oh, you fixed piece of. All right, get him off.

[Jack G]

Look, he looks eyeball this right?

[Brandon]

I hate him like a skull be this guy.

[TJ]

He accused me of lying to him.

[Brandon]

What?

[Ron]

Did you lie to him?

[TJ]

No, I told him. Oh, God's honest.

[Brandon]

Is he still on? Get him back, get him back. I need him back for something.

What was the lie he told?

[Kyle]

He.

[Stefan]

He.

[TJ]

Honestly, I feel like I could get out of the lie if. Or to get out of the accusation of the lie if I told him that you wanted to do something.

[Brandon]

Yeah, yeah, let's wait till he comes back on because I want it.

[Deutsche]

Because.

[TJ]

And he was like, well, you could have told big cat that. And I. I don't even want to say it out loud to you so you can tell him. So. Yeah, it's not collusion.

[Brandon]

He's a liar so he'll.

[TJ]

He'll know that there's not collusion.

[Brandon]

No, Pete. Okay, Rome's not a liar.

Rose never lied.

[Ron]

Rome's being accused a lot.

[TJ]

Unless I was. Unless I was being impish.

[Brandon]

Yeah, but that's different than lying. That's just you being.

[TJ]

But this wasn't impish. Nothing about this was impish. This was just me.

[Brandon]

You're a rap, Scott.

[TJ]

I've rap scallion ways.

[Brandon]

Yeah, exactly. Are you guys ready for the Dustin final tonight? Final four?

[Ron]

Who are you talking to? You talking to Mark and Nick and kb? Yeah, everyone.

[Brandon]

I guess it is everybody.

Are you ready?

[Ron]

I'm ready. Ready.

[Brandon]

Are you nervous, Brandon?

[Ron]

I'm not nervous. I just. I was telling Mark earlier I've Long since realized the dozen version of me is the worst version. So I just. If I can come out of this tonight.

[Brandon]

You have a lot of bad version saying this.

[Ron]

Win or lose, be likable. It'll be a win tonight.

[Brandon]

Pete, you are. You are doing a stake off with Rico.

Sorry, I can't hear you.

You're doing a stake off with Rico. I can't See, he's lying again.

See, I think it's a connection here in the. In the theater.

No, it's probably ours.

[Stefan]

I'll have to.

[Mark]

You got bad, Dante.

[Brandon]

I'll be back to you on whatever this is about.

Pete, you are doing a stake off with Rico, and you can hear me, and I know you can hear me, and that is happening.

[Ron]

Hey, Pete, it's Brandon.

[Brandon]

Can't hear you.

[Kate]

So are those orbs of color?

[Brandon]

I'll reach back out and circle back on this, but let's put a pin in it for now.

All right, great. I'll text you. I'll text you.

[Unknown/Ad Voice]

All right, thanks.

[TJ]

Okay.

[Ron]

All right. You look fat from this.

[Mark]

You got the Soc.

[Jack G]

So.

[Brandon]

Yeah, go ahead, Ron.

[TJ]

Thank you. Yeah, that's what I mean. I. I texted him and I said, will you do a stake off with Rico? And he said, I think you have the wrong number. And it came up green. And I really thought that he had changed his number. And I saw him in person, and he said that he was just on purpose trying to get out of it because he doesn't want to do any content that I'm a part of. Absolute scumbag.

[Brandon]

Yeah, but now he's doing it.

[TJ]

Yeah, now he has to do it. Now he's. Yeah, he has to be in.

[Brandon]

Is Pete anti. Ron?

[TJ]

I think he kind of. I think he kind of. Is he. Where is he ever? Because he's not out here, and he's not in New York.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[TJ]

So where is he? The mountains?

[Brandon]

I don't know.

[Ron]

He's out here now, but he's not here.

[TJ]

And when he's in New York, he's not there.

[Ron]

When he's there, he's not there.

[TJ]

Yeah, he's like a paradox, huh?

[Brandon]

He doesn't exist. Kaiser Soze, and he's running us all on Dante.

[TJ]

America runs on.

[Kyle]

Really? The program name, it's crazy. It's an acronym, too.

[TJ]

It's Alpo.

[Kate]

What is it?

[Brandon]

Yeah, I could totally see Pete, like, you know, in like, five years. Barstool's bankrupt. I'm like, where'd it all go? And he'd just come up with some type of Code that took like, you know, a cent off every dollar we earned.

Yeah, I've been skimming.

[TJ]

Yeah, I could definitely see it. He's got him and Andrew. Remember Andrew Barber?

[Brandon]

Yes.

[TJ]

I think he.

[Nick]

They.

[TJ]

They probably had similar deals.

[Brandon]

Can't trust them.

[Kyle]

Didn't Andrew Barber get who's robbed us in the most comical way from the inside?

[Brandon]

There have been some actual.

Yeah, yeah.

[Kyle]

Some funny ones.

[TJ]

The guy that worked for Dion that stole a car.

[Brandon]

Yeah, yeah.

I was thinking that was a. That was one. That was a doozy.

Thinking of another one, huh? Might have been a sales one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That whole crypto thing. We had to put our Social Security over in banking before.

Yeah, that wasn't. Yeah, there's been some interesting.

[Ron]

That was taking a lot of money on that.

[TJ]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

You won that?

[Ron]

I didn't win Yalls money, but I ended up tripling the money they gave me.

[Mark]

Wow.

[TJ]

You did?

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Actually, the worst version of you is. Is dozen. What's second worst version of.

[Ron]

I don't have a. No, I don't have a.

[Brandon]

Third worst version is right after you wake up from your nap every day. Fourth worst. We're going through the versions.

[Ron]

I think I have one bad version. I think it's a dozen version.

[Brandon]

That's it.

[Ron]

I don't think I'm bad at all times in the dozen. But on stage I can get a little.

[Mark]

What are you. What are you going to do tonight to ensure that we don't get bad?

[Ron]

I don't know. I just got to relax.

[Brandon]

I don't think there's anything you can do.

[Ron]

I think the fact that I won last year helps a lot. I'm not as nervous about.

[Brandon]

Because. Didn't you say something. Did you say something bad during the Super Bowl?

[Ron]

Not this year. No.

[Brandon]

No, it wasn't.

[TJ]

You didn't call someone fat fuck. Yeah. See?

[Brandon]

And that was after you won.

[Ron]

Why? Ron?

[TJ]

I'm just reporting the news.

[Ron]

Yeah, okay.

[Brandon]

What? Hey, Brandon. What?

Don't try to make Roan the bad guy.

[Ron]

No, I just.

[Brandon]

If you win this year, will you break up your dream team that you've created?

[Ron]

I do think. I personally think. And this is something that Jeff has thought about for a while. I don't know if we're at that, but I think a draft would be great for the dozen. Just a kind of a restart for everybody.

[TJ]

How old do people have to be to be draft eligible? 18, the US and how about. Is there a cap on the age of the draft?

[Ron]

Well, no, actually, 16, because Tommy will be 16. I want Tommy on my dozen team.

[TJ]

Yeah, he's built for it.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

I think there should be a team of, like, mints, Jack G. And somebody else. And if they beat a team, your team's disbanded and done.

Yeah, they're the death team.

They're the death team.

[TJ]

Where did Jack G. Come from?

[Brandon]

Dude, he's something.

[TJ]

He is.

[Brandon]

I don't know.

[TJ]

Where did he come from, though?

[Ron]

From the bar stool factory.

[Brandon]

Colorado film school.

Yeah, he's local, but then he went to college in Colorado.

[TJ]

And where. When did he. He's bursting onto my scene, but I. I think that he'd been. He must have been around for longer than I've been aware of him.

[Jack G]

He was an intern last summer.

[Brandon]

I didn't know anything about him until he was placed on.

It's kind of the. It's kind of the read arc where it's like, we have a bunch of people around here and sleeper cell you. And until an adult asks them a question, they can kind of stay under the radar. But then once someone asks them a question, they're like, whoa, you break the seal. What's with that? Yeah, Like, I remember when Reed first came out, I was like, this kid can't be real.

That's something. Yeah, he is.

[Kyle]

Jack was more of a delayed effect for me. Like, we. He became our producer, and I thought he was a regular guy.

[Brandon]

He's not.

[TJ]

He's not. Oh, he was doing, like, Dion. Dion impressions.

[Stephen]

What?

[TJ]

He does a. A spot on Dion impression.

[Brandon]

No way.

[TJ]

Like, a perfect Dion impression.

[Brandon]

Stephen, get Jack G. In the booth. I want to hear. I don't want to see him. I want to hear.

I want to hear Dion.

[TJ]

I don't want to see audio.

[Mark]

I'd love to hear it.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Mark and Kyle. It may. It wasn't my fart.

[Ron]

All right, guys. What the.

[Mark]

I swear to God, it wasn't mine. And I wish.

[Kyle]

I think.

[Brandon]

I think it's mine.

[Mark]

I would take credit.

[Brandon]

It was done in post. That was a like. That was like a Wilhelm scream of a fart. It was classic.

[Jack G]

The lack of the lac all. Yeah. The lack of a reaction made me think this was a premeditated bit.

[Ron]

That fart went through a journey coming out, man.

[Brandon]

Did you hear the fart, Kyle?

[Mark]

The other two of us would have reacted.

[Kyle]

I haven't watched this.

[Brandon]

It looks like I shook it out of my ass, and I don't think

I did manga whatever.

[Kate]

I cannot.

[Brandon]

And I'm looking at all of us

[Mark]

like, it could be all of us. If you watch each guy individually it's

[Brandon]

like when the chipmunks go getting the best head mar.

[Kyle]

You look pretty guilty.

[Mark]

Yeah, it looks like it could be me.

[Brandon]

Okay, here we go.

[Mark]

Manga.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Whatever.

[Brandon]

Left cheek sneak me.

[Kyle]

I don't believe this.

[Kate]

Nick. Come on.

[Brandon]

I don't think it was my fart. I don't recall.

[Kyle]

It's not. Nick doesn't fart. Mark doesn't either.

[Brandon]

What do you mean?

[Ron]

He doesn't fart farts.

[Mark]

But the mic is up by our. Our mouth.

[Jack G]

A good point.

[Ron]

That was a loud.

[Kyle]

Not like that.

[Mark]

In order for it to be that loud on our mic.

[Brandon]

Was it your throat?

[Mark]

That would have been thunderous if it right. The other two of us would have right heard it.

[Ron]

Jeff would have heard it.

[Mark]

Yeah.

[Ron]

Was it on the stick mic?

[Brandon]

So it makes me think it was the stick mic and that group and Greg.

[Mark]

It was great. Yeah, it was Greg.

[Brandon]

Oh, yeah.

[TJ]

That was on the live broadcast.

[Brandon]

Yes.

[TJ]

And everyone heard that. That's not. That's not doctored.

[Brandon]

No, I don't think that's incredible.

[TJ]

I don't know. I don't if it's neither of them. Kyle, how could it. You just said both of them don't fart.

[Kyle]

I know. And I take credit for mine like it's a performance.

[Mark]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Your farts don't sound like that. Yours keep one tone.

[Ron]

Yeah. Yours are more blunt. Is that.

[Jack G]

Is that right?

[Brandon]

That's how his sound.

[TJ]

Yes.

[Deutsche]

Is that true?

[TJ]

I didn't know that.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Jack G]

So it's whoever had a mic next to someone's ass that was Right.

[Mark]

Whose ass was miked is what we got asked.

[Jack G]

And that. Would it make sense if it was the handheld? He just had it.

[TJ]

Honestly. Who are your opponents?

[Kyle]

But if it was someone from in the crowd, we would have heard laughter. How did no one respond?

[Brandon]

Because that is the. That's funny.

[Kyle]

I think it's doctored.

[Brandon]

It could have been Bob Fox on Zoom.

[Ron]

Bob.

[Brandon]

Oh, did you guys see. Looks like Bob. Yeah, that me up, dude.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Is that real?

[Jack]

Who?

[Stephen]

The.

[Brandon]

The chick that looks like Bob Fox.

[TJ]

I don't know.

[Brandon]

She's got like a 10 out of 10 body, but she's Bob Fox.

[TJ]

Oh, wow.

[Brandon]

Is that real, Bob?

[Kate]

I didn't know. That's not real.

[Brandon]

Is this real?

[Kate]

No, dude, that is not.

[Brandon]

Is this real? Oh, that's Robbie. F. Robbie.

[Kyle]

Is that.

[Brandon]

There was the girl that looked like Tommy Smokes.

[Kyle]

Ben Shapiro's sister.

[Brandon]

Oh, I know her.

[TJ]

Who?

[Kyle]

Isn't that somebody? Yeah. Of a similar ill.

[Brandon]

I think she's even busty.

Yes, likely. AI.

[Nick Bartholomew]

All Right.

[Brandon]

Good.

Yes.

Is that bothered?

[Jack G]

We don't know if it was the face or kids that were AI'd.

[Brandon]

Oh, my God. That was up. Whoever did that.

There was the chick that looked just like Tommy and she had the videos of her getting juiced. And it was very weird to see.

I don't remember that.

Yeah, it was really awesome.

[TJ]

That was a weird.

[Brandon]

It was Tommy's face. Face moaning to this. Oh, yeah.

[TJ]

Did it feel good in your body when you were watching?

[Stefan]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

What is really good? What is Juice your to sleep.

[Jack G]

Oh, yeah.

[Stefan]

Okay.

[Mark]

Juice.

[Brandon]

When you said juice, I thought it was like when Kyle juiced. No, 7th Avenue.

[Ron]

I thought taking steroid.

[TJ]

No, it's Nova Scotian Sl.

[Brandon]

Yeah, it is.

[Mark]

Juice your to sleep.

[Brandon]

Yeah, that's right.

[TJ]

So it couldn't have. It could have been Robbie. There's no way it could have been Clemmer. Footage from the episode. His farts definitely sound like a 2008

[Brandon]

sports action fantasy comedy adapted from a manga.

[Mark]

Manga.

[Kyle]

Whatever.

[Brandon]

That's. That's 100. Look at Nick's body.

[Ron]

Go back.

[Brandon]

Look at Nick's body. He leans back.

I do.

That's kind of doing a.

[Mark]

That's how I think.

[Kate]

Or the fart.

[Brandon]

That's it.

No, because if I lean back, I would tighten my cheeks.

[Kyle]

I recognize that. Reverse fart. Search that into the audio database. It's a sound effect.

[Jack G]

It has to be.

[Brandon]

Is that a game for numbers?

[Mark]

For comments?

[Brandon]

If so smart.

[Jack G]

Well, why were you squirming like that?

[Brandon]

Nervous. But I don't think I can when

[TJ]

I try to ride the fart.

[Ron]

He does when he listens to a question. I've noticed that.

[Mark]

I think it's. I think it's pretty damning for me too. Like I stood up and I like, adjusted as well. But you. You're way worse.

[Brandon]

Well, if you could all lean back. Right. Kind of do that. Do your ass cheeks tighten?

[Ron]

Doesn't really affect me.

[Brandon]

I don't know if a fart would get out.

[Ron]

I could fart in a lean.

[Jack G]

That sounded like it was escaping.

[Kate]

How could you not fart in a lean?

[Brandon]

Pretty easily.

You were like,

Oh, no. Disproven myth busted.

[Ron]

I don't.

[Kate]

What?

[TJ]

How do you have those?

[Brandon]

That's.

That was Danny's mouth.

[Kate]

I thought it was big cat again.

[TJ]

Yeah, you can do it.

[Brandon]

Wow, that smells so bad.

[Ron]

Farting right in my face.

[Brandon]

Oh, my God, that smells so bad.

[Jack G]

Brandon's mouth was open.

[Brandon]

Oh, look.

[TJ]

How do you even have that much fart control? That's insane.

[Brandon]

I. I would own It. If it was me, It's a perfect fart.

[Kate]

You guys would have reacted like, I can't believe. No, none of you reacted.

[Jack G]

Do we agree that was a fake fart? That was like, the remote.

[TJ]

We gotta get the database.

[Kate]

Such a perfect.

[TJ]

Can we get going to APM and listen through to the fart sound effects?

[Jack G]

That was a licensed fart.

[Brandon]

Is Gucci here?

[Mark]

I don't know.

[Ron]

Probably.

[Brandon]

Yeah. Did you see my text?

[Ron]

So.

[Brandon]

So Jack G's on zoom. Don't show his face. Just have him do Dion. All right, Jack G, do it.

[Jack]

Do what?

[Ron]

Dion.

[Brandon]

Do your Dion impression.

[Jack]

He's like. He's like. All right, boys, let's bring it in. Let's bring it in here. All right, first off, I want to thank God.

[Kyle]

Jack, did you start.

[Brandon]

Jack, that is so bad.

[Kate]

What the.

[Jack]

I'm not great at it.

[Mark]

I wanna.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Put really up in practice, talking to the guys. Keon Sanders addresses the team because I think maybe that's.

[Mark]

That's.

[TJ]

What's the physicality.

[Jack G]

There was zero change in his voice.

[Brandon]

Oh, man. I'm pretty disappointed.

There wasn't even an effort.

[Jack G]

Check.

[Ron]

Right?

[Kate]

Did you guys just make that up? Put him on the spot?

[Brandon]

I didn't.

[TJ]

I walked into a room, and they were like, you gotta hear.

[Jack G]

She's.

[Jack]

That's my boy right there.

[Brandon]

Okay, Jack, wait. Are you doing it?

[Jack]

All right, boys, let's bring it in. Let's bring it in. Down said hook.

[Brandon]

That's a quarterback.

[Ron]

He's a coach of this.

[Brandon]

Why would he say that?

[Kyle]

All right, Jack, you've been around him. Say something that he would actually say to his players.

[Jack]

Okay? He's like. He's like, I ain't doing. I ain't doing one of that bull junk. Get that bull junk out of here.

[Brandon]

This is so bad.

Oh, Jack. This sucks dick, bud.

Dude. Jack, that is not an impression.

That's your voice. Do you think you just sound like Dion?

[Jack]

I mean, that would be pretty cool.

[Brandon]

All right, give us something else. Give us something else.

[Jack]

He's like. He's like, we coming. We praying. We coming. We playing hard. That's what we do here.

[Brandon]

Oh, my God. Maybe worst impression ever.

Roan, did you set him up for failure?

[Jack]

I didn't.

[TJ]

I swear. I was on Surviving Barstool, and I walked into a room, and Cody Lanza was like, you have to hear his. His impression. And they were all sitting around listening to his impression fresh off of him doing an impression of Dion. It wasn't something I came up with. It's something that Got dropped into my lap.

[Jack G]

But did you hear it? And it sounded like Dion.

[Deutsche]

No.

[Brandon]

This is your first time here?

[TJ]

I don't. He wouldn't. He, like, got too shy, I think, when I walked in, so I never heard it. And I've only ever, like, known that he does it.

[Mark]

Wow, that was terrible.

[Kate]

Jack, do you have any impressions that you do think you're really good at?

[Jack]

No, not really.

[Brandon]

Any others that you do on your free time?

[Jack]

No, not. Not many, actually.

[Brandon]

So it's just Dion.

[Mark]

Just.

[Jack]

Just Dion? Yeah. That's kind of my specialty. But it seems like a.

[Brandon]

You got nothing else. I feel like you got something you're holding back.

[Jack]

Yeah, I'm just not. I mean, like, I can do impressions of, like, my friends.

[TJ]

Okay.

[Mark]

Yeah, do one of those.

[Brandon]

One of your friends.

[Jack]

Like my friend Timmy. He talks really high like this. Hi, guys. How's it going?

[Brandon]

Wait, just do goo. Like do an image search for just Timmy. Just a generic image. And then do it again. Hold on.

[TJ]

Because I could kind of see that.

[Brandon]

Yeah, yeah, I want to see.

[Ron]

I want to see Timmy's do. Talk fast.

[TJ]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brandon]

Okay. Oh, no, no. Do a real person. I want to see a real person. Timmy.

[TJ]

Human Timmy.

[Brandon]

Maybe pull up Tim Duncan.

[TJ]

Okay.

[Ron]

T bone. Maybe.

[Brandon]

All right, all right, all right, Jack, you ready? Hold on. All right, go ahead, Jack. I'm Timmy.

[Jack]

I like to go play baseball with my friends.

[Kyle]

Jack. This is one of your friends?

[Jack]

Yeah. Like from summer camp, a long time ago.

[Brandon]

Oh, depression of a boar.

Yeah, of course.

He has a high pitched voice.

[Kyle]

From how long ago?

[Jack]

This is probably in 2013.

[Brandon]

And you haven't talked to me since?

[Jack]

No, I haven't. I don't even know if he's still alive.

[Brandon]

Oh, no.

[Mark]

How old are you?

[Jack]

I'm 23 now.

[Brandon]

So is 10.

[Mark]

10. Yeah.

[Brandon]

Oh, my God. And you, do you do that impression to a bunch of people who don't know who Timmy is?

[Jack]

Yeah. It makes it better, right?

[Stephen]

No.

[Brandon]

No. All right, who else you got?

[Jack]

No, it's kind of it.

[Jack G]

You got a Donald Duck in your bag.

[Jack]

I can't do Donald. I can do. I can do. I can do a little British. A little British here.

[Brandon]

All right, hold on, Jack.

[Kyle]

Figure it out.

[Brandon]

Jack, you got to lose service or something.

Give us David Beckham and then. Hold on a sec, Jack.

[Ron]

I just wanna.

[Brandon]

I wanna. I wanna just be able to. To visualize this. TJ's pulling it up. All right, go ahead, Jack. Do your British, mate.

[Jack]

It's David Beckham here and we just got off the pitch. It is the fourth game of the match and can't wait to go play

[Brandon]

football with my bugs. Jack, you were dog at impressions.

[Jack]

I thought I had it there.

[Brandon]

Just got off the.

[Jack]

But maybe we could do, like, some, like, lessons and learn how to become better at doing this.

[Brandon]

Yeah, okay.

[Ron]

All right.

[Brandon]

I like that.

[Ron]

All right.

[Brandon]

Thanks, Jack.

[TJ]

Jack, was I. Before you go, was I misrepresenting the story at all as far as what happened with. With Cody? That they were kind of like, he's got this impression. He's got this impression.

[Jack]

No, you were right. It was just a really bad impression.

[TJ]

Got it. Got it. Now I see that.

[Kate]

Are you in an Ubers?

[Stefan]

Yeah.

[Jack G]

Where are you going?

[Kate]

Listening to you.

[Jack]

We're headed to the dozen. Me, Tyler, and Owen.

[Brandon]

Okay, guys?

[Kate]

Oh, yeah.

[TJ]

Awesome.

[Brandon]

Okay.

[Jack]

All right.

[Brandon]

All right. Thanks, boys.

[Mark]

Good stuff.

[Stefan]

Jack.

[Mark]

Jack.

[TJ]

Bye, Jack.

[Jack]

See you guys.

[Brandon]

See ya. Unbelievable.

[Kate]

He will. Since doing the trip with you guys is how I got to know him a few weeks ago. Never talked to him before, before that, ever. And now he'll just approach me out of the blue. Like, you turn around, he's there, and you have no idea what he's about to say. He always says something that you could never guess in a million years what he's about to talk to you about. And I love it.

[Jack G]

He came up to me today. He's like, I'm really nervous. I have to shop for furniture for my new place. I've never shopped for furniture before.

[Brandon]

He's like, what do I do?

[Jack G]

Where do I go?

[Kate]

Hey, how you doing? He just walks up and starts telling you something that you're like, what?

[Jack G]

Do you have any advice on how to shop the best way?

[Brandon]

He was up above us, and I was walking to the kitchen, and he just got back with Chef Donnie from Joe Thomas's ranch. And I was like, oh, how was it? He was like, dude, craziest story. I asked Joe Thomas who his favorite director was. I was like, well, who was it? He said, he doesn't have one. And then he starts dying. And I'm like, that's not a crazy story, Jack.

[TJ]

It's very tame. Almost no story there.

[Kate]

No,

[TJ]

he's great.

[Kate]

He's a joy.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[TJ]

Jack G. So when did he get put on anus?

[Kyle]

A couple months ago.

[TJ]

True.

[Kyle]

Maybe three.

[TJ]

Seems like he's doing a good job. Seems like he's grinding, keeping you guys in line. He was, like, telling us when the hard outs were and stuff like that. Like, he's. Yeah, like, yeah, do whatever. He's like, no, I'M keeping these boys.

[Kyle]

He's about it.

[Mark]

Yeah, he's.

[TJ]

That's valid.

[Kyle]

Passionate, I guess.

[TJ]

Passion.

[Kyle]

Whatever that's worth. I like him a lot. Very likely he's got to move. He's moving into a new apartment, but he's got to wait for his roommate to get back from Vietnam.

[Ad Read Announcer]

What?

[Kyle]

Yeah, I guess he's just there.

[TJ]

So he can't move without his roommate.

[Brandon]

And he really wants us to record an episode of Anis from his apartment. He said it'll be awesome.

[TJ]

Gotta try it.

[Brandon]

I guess so.

Oh, man.

[TJ]

What'd you tell him about buying furniture, Danny?

[Jack G]

He was like, where do I go? What do I do? I'm like, furniture store. Good start. Maybe Facebook. Marketplace.

[TJ]

He's like, let me get a pen,

[Jack G]

Marketplace. And just ran away and went on his laptop. Got to work.

[Kate]

He also wants to host like housewarming party where none of the dudes can drink till there's a hundred chicks there.

[Mark]

How big?

[Kate]

Until they hit a quote.

[Brandon]

That sounds terrible.

[Kyle]

100 chicks and deliverance.

[Brandon]

He wants to project deliverance onto all the chicks.

[Kyle]

Deliverance doesn't start until 100 chicks arrive.

[Kate]

That's right.

[TJ]

So that just won't happen.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[TJ]

I've never been at a party he's going to fix.

[Kyle]

He's boating with 15 girls this weekend.

[Mark]

Wow.

[TJ]

What kind of boat?

[Ron]

I don't know.

[Brandon]

I don't ask him follow up questions. Yeah, I don't ask him questions.

No, we don't.

[TJ]

He just presents info. Fascinating.

[Brandon]

He just brain dumps to you.

[Mark]

Oh, yeah.

[Kyle]

Oh, yeah.

[Jack G]

He's always very specific about the amount of girls he'll be hanging out with. Yeah, like I'm hanging out with eight girls this weekend. He's like, I'm gonna invite 100 girls to the party.

[TJ]

15 girls.

[Brandon]

And he does. He still doesn't have a girlfriend.

[TJ]

Right.

[Brandon]

Because that's when he's gonna start working harder.

This is the weekend.

[TJ]

my Father's Day present is, and it's tickets to Norway against Senegal. Whoa. Which is sick.

[Brandon]

That is sick.

[Kyle]

Is that in New York?

[TJ]

In New York, where you can root for. I don't know.

[Brandon]

I think Holland's so likable.

[TJ]

Yeah, he is. And he's a stud. He's younger. He's like Jack G's age. He's like 25. Yeah, he's a stud. And then I also saw videos of their crowd and they do like a sick, like, rowing celebration.

[Brandon]

They're like, oh, you gotta go.

[TJ]

They do it all together. But it's a bit on the nose to go with Norway.

[Kyle]

First the African teams.

[TJ]

Huh? Say again. Say that again.

[Brandon]

The African team.

[Kyle]

I like to root for the African teams.

[TJ]

Yeah.

[Jack G]

Why

[Brandon]

Pieces your white guilt.

[Mark]

Yeah.

[TJ]

Prove you're not racist. I like.

[Kyle]

I don't know. Maybe that is it. I like the way they celebrate and like the way they come together.

[Mark]

It's.

[Stefan]

Yeah.

[Mark]

It seems for the people.

[TJ]

Seems like a blast. But my wife was like, she. She said I ordered a USA jersey to wear because I didn't know what to wear. I was like, no, no. I feel like that would be a bad look if we just showed up.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[TJ]

Repping usa. But I guess we got to pick us pick a side.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Colors team.

[Kate]

Who has the best uniform? Did you look?

[TJ]

I think that the. The Norway jersey is pretty cool.

[Brandon]

Looks like their flag.

[TJ]

It looks pretty.

[Stefan]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

You might red.

[TJ]

Yeah.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

And the Holland after he spelled Orlando wrong on his Instagram story.

[TJ]

Did you See that didn't his.

[Brandon]

His apology for spelling spelling Orlando wrong

[TJ]

was perfect with two O's at the front.

[Brandon]

He spelled it Ornaldo.

He looks fake. Yeah, he does. So perfect. He's a true, like, Viking.

[Kyle]

He could be the global star, right?

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Oh, yeah.

And it's funny because.

[Kyle]

Or Mbappe.

[Brandon]

We had Rob Stone on who hosts a bunch of the World cup stuff, works for Fox. And I asked him, like, who's a guy who everyone's going to know about after? And he said Holland. And I was like, I feel like everyone knows about him. But then I realized Jerry bought his rookie card like, six years ago and that's all I've heard about. Jerry's just trying to like. I think his retirement savings is in a Holland rookie card, and that very

[Kyle]

well could be the case.

[Brandon]

Ronaldo next.

[Kate]

His post apologizing was very funny.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Not even allowed to write something wrong now in this perfect world. Sorry to all the perfect brothers and sisters out there. Apology.

[TJ]

That's hilarious.

[Kate]

It looks kind of like you, Brandon.

[Ron]

No, though.

[Kate]

Okay. A little bit.

[Brandon]

Have you guys heard Alexi Lawless's music?

No, dog. By the way, that is one of the greatest booze ever. I don't know if you guys have tuned in at all, but Alexi Lawless and Zlatan and Tyrion re. They hate each other and it is awesome. Like, openly despise each other and have to do a show together every day for the next like 40 days.

Can you relate?

[Dante]

Yeah.

[TJ]

Is what. What is Alexi Lawless doing with those two from, like a player accomplishment standpoint? Like, those two dudes are international super duper star gods who are the best at what they did ever.

[Brandon]

Lawless does.

[Ron]

We just had to have an American.

[Brandon]

Lawless was pretty fucking awesome for his time. Like, when 96, he looked cool as fuck. He played and he played in Italy. He played in the first division of Italy when Italy was like. Had a really good Series A. And. And soccer was nothing in America.

[Dante]

Like.

[Brandon]

I know, I know. Like, he's nothing to those two guys. But I do think that his.

[TJ]

He's better than I'm giving.

[Brandon]

His resume has been changed a little by the fact that like, 94, no one played youth soccer like they do now. And he was playing in Italy.

[Mark]

Yeah, he wasn't good.

[Brandon]

He was. Yeah, he was.

[Mark]

I mean, when he's. He's on a panel with. With Terry.

[Ron]

I'm saying.

[Brandon]

But I'm saying, like, yeah, he. He deserves a little bit more credit than I. If people. He's not on him. It's like. Yeah, was. We were a country that just didn't have soccer.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Right.

[Mark]

And that's. That's how he got the job.

[Brandon]

But do you have to be good to be on the panel?

What's up, Dante?

[TJ]

Foremost, bro.

[Brandon]

You still mad at us?

[Ron]

Here, grab this one. All right.

[Brandon]

But you. You swerved us the last two days.

[Dante]

Well, I don't want Brandon. I don't want Brandon to get up.

[Brandon]

No, he did.

[TJ]

He got up.

[Jack]

Here.

[Brandon]

Roan, take Brandon seat.

No, Ron, don't leave. I know you have to leave eventually, but don't leave now.

[Dante]

No, I do not want Brandon to get up for me. Last person here. I want to do.

[Ron]

Okay.

[Brandon]

All right, so what's.

[Ron]

What's good?

[Dante]

Danny left.

[Brandon]

You got everyone up. All right, go back. Go to Danny's seat.

[Dante]

All right.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Dante]

Ron, sit down.

[Brandon]

You sit in your seat.

[Ron]

All right.

[Brandon]

So what's up, Dante? You were. You were mad at us.

[TJ]

Never mad.

[Brandon]

Yesterday you were a little mad.

[Dante]

I was not mad.

[TJ]

I just have had a bad string

[Dante]

of yak appearances and bad things happening after, so I. I want to. I need to stay away.

[Brandon]

Did you know that our entire company is run on you?

[Ad Read Announcer]

Was what?

[Brandon]

You're the backbone of the company.

Our entire system that we run is Dante.

[Dante]

I mean, you said.

[Brandon]

I'm not lying. Look at that. Pete came on, and I asked him why the act keeps breaking. And then Stefan was like. It was Dante.

Oh, yeah.

[Dante]

The audio network.

[Deutsche]

Yes.

[Dante]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

It's you.

[Dante]

Dude. It's crazy. We ran that at Wrigley with the car. It's like the most comp. Does someone here run that?

[Brandon]

Yeah, they.

[Dante]

Who is it? Because they have to be the smartest person in the company.

[Brandon]

Oh, they don't run it well. All right, he's back.

Dante's up and running.

[Dante]

That's crazy.

[TJ]

What if it is linked to you and, like, when you're in a bad mood.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[TJ]

Stops, like, shut. It starts shutting down.

[Dante]

Bro, that. That system is. If you take a look at it, your brain will hurt.

[Jack G]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

So you've collabed with them before?

[Dante]

No, we do all of the audio and video and everything at Wrigley Field runs on that system. And it is. It's. It's the scariest thing in the world to look at. I don't know how people operate it. Run it. So the fact that you're using it here. Very impressive.

[TJ]

But the show keeps crashing. That system keeps crashing for this.

[Mark]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

It's not like.

[Dante]

Actually, it's got to be user error. Dante can't fail, no offense.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Yeah.

[Ron]

So, Dante, what's it look like out there?

[Dante]

We're getting our asses kicked out there, not gonna lie. Yeah, a lot harder than thought it was gonna be. I thought we were gonna have a lot more hands, but what is it?

[Brandon]

Just who are the hands out there?

[Dante]

I'll tell you what, this Nick kid, this intern, he's like 16 years old. Badass.

[Ron]

Is he?

[Brandon]

We have a young boy.

[Dante]

Badass kids.

[Brandon]

We have a child.

[Dante]

He's been out there all morning with me. He's fucking. Has not complained once. Keeps asking, like, what else can I do? What else can I do? Like, Nick, awesome guy. Devin, the other intern, awesome.

[Brandon]

Nice.

[Dante]

Spider helped for five minutes.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Good.

[Dante]

Five minutes more than I expected.

[TJ]

He said he's getting tickets for him and Clemmer for the architecture boat tour, so he probably had to bail.

[Dante]

That tracks.

[Ron]

Sounds amazing.

[Mark]

What are you guys actually working on right now?

[Dante]

Where do. We're cleaning up years and years worth of shit.

[Brandon]

Yeah, what you've been finding anything gross?

[Dante]

Shit like what a fat. There's a fountain back there. Like water. There's in the back corner, there's like

[Deutsche]

a

[Dante]

retainer wall with a fountain built in the middle that was completely covered by ivy that we totally ripped out.

[Brandon]

Is it a functioning fountain?

[Nick]

Sick.

[Dante]

I don't know if it works, but at one time.

[Brandon]

Can we.

Can we zoom and take a look at what the progress. All right.

[Ron]

Okay.

[Dante]

Yeah, you can go back there.

[TJ]

So, wait, what. I'm sorry, I'm a little bit late. What is the exact plan and how are you doing it?

[Dante]

We're going to make it, like, very nice and usable back there.

[TJ]

Nice, like how?

[Dante]

Just another thing to make the Chicago office even better than the New York.

[TJ]

What kind of like, will it be for people to look at or walk through or. No, no, it's like a rose G. No.

[Kyle]

What are we talking.

[Brandon]

We're gonna, like, wrestle.

[Mark]

Yeah.

[Jack]

Oh.

[Jack G]

Oh.

[Brandon]

It's for, like, activity.

[Ron]

Horseshoe.

[Brandon]

We can tickle.

[Dante]

We can do UFC 539 back there.

[TJ]

It's that wide. I thought it was like a narrow strip.

[Dante]

Is it a bit pretty big? It's way bigger than you'd expect. And now that we've cleared it out, it's. It's good. We're gonna be able to do a lot of. Back there.

[TJ]

Were they pouring ice cream out there or something?

[Brandon]

The beige.

[Dante]

Listen, I wasn't gonna bring this up, but since you did.

[TJ]

Yeah.

[Dante]

All the shit I got about messing up stuff that we don't technically own and like worrying about code and city. Shit. Yeah. They're dumping fucking cream back there.

[Brandon]

I can't even tell you.

[Mark]

Cream.

[Dante]

And on top of like 250 pounds of hay. Like.

[Brandon]

Oh, cream and hay.

[Dante]

Dude, the shit that I saw on Monday.

[Brandon]

You see any vermin, Horse, dessert?

[Dante]

Lots. There's lots of creatures back there because

[TJ]

they had an unlimited supply of cream.

[Kate]

Look how small.

[Brandon]

Oh, you really did clear it up, Dante.

[Dante]

Yeah, bro, I wish. Show the contractor bags. We filled up 60 something contractor bags.

[Stefan]

60.

[Kyle]

Show the bags.

[Brandon]

Let's see the bags.

[Dante]

They're under the. They're under the track.

[Kate]

I want to see the fountain too.

[Brandon]

This looks perfect for like a holy two kids.

[TJ]

Or like a rap battle or something. Yeah, or like a battle. You could have like NFL street play back there.

[Brandon]

Yeah, like that.

Good Lord.

[Mark]

Tony Hawk.

[Brandon]

Yeah, That's a lot.

[Dante]

And to the. That's half of them. We got rid of. We got rid of half of them.

[Brandon]

Good job, Dante.

[Ron]

Yeah, thank you, Dante.

[Brandon]

How are you not sweatier?

[Kyle]

And is anyone allowed to help?

[Jack G]

Yes.

[TJ]

Have you been filming it? Is there going to be like a musical montage of you cleaning it all up? Is that what go hard?

[Kate]

I don't know. Clean up montage.

[Jack]

Trying to get it done for the four.

[Jack G]

Our building.

[Brandon]

Yeah, we got a big stooly

[Dante]

landscaper coming by at 5 tonight before he takes his wife to the dozen tournament. Peter.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Shout out.

[Dante]

Peter.

[Brandon]

Shout out. Peter.

[Dante]

He's going to measure and assess for us and then he's going to help load in some dirt and sod with us this weekend.

[Brandon]

And this is completely fenced in, right?

[Dante]

Yeah, it's all us. It's going to be sick.

[Kate]

Do you find any proof that like there is a little troll or somebody living back there?

[Dante]

No.

[Mark]

There.

[Dante]

Before we took over the office, when that was when the gate was like, not locked up. There was definitely people back there? Yeah, yeah, there was some up.

[Brandon]

Like what? Needles.

[Kate]

Is this the fountain?

[Dante]

No, Fountains way down the other end.

[Kate]

Okay.

[TJ]

The hell.

[Ron]

What is that?

[Kate]

What is that, though?

[Ron]

War relic.

[Dante]

So this used to be. Before it was a battery factory. This used to be a dairy processing plant.

[Ron]

Oh, they. They store cheese, Right.

[Dante]

Cheese warehouse back in the like Chicago meat packing days.

[Kate]

Don't get poison ivy.

[TJ]

Twist that knob though, Wyatt.

[Dante]

I wish.

[Brandon]

Wrench that open.

[Dante]

I wish that worked. But yeah, the reason I. I stopped by is I need to proposition you for a little boost in budget.

[Brandon]

Okay, what are we talking?

[Dante]

Obviously, I'm gonna keep it as low as possible, but if I could get clearance for 50% more than you allocated before.

[Brandon]

So the problem is I don't remember what I allocated, so I can't answer yes or no because I.

[Dante]

Okay, I'll text you.

[Brandon]

Okay.

Can we guess?

[Ron]

Do they allocate ten grand?

[Brandon]

I think it was a little less than that.

Okay.

Was it five?

[Dante]

Ten grand would be great.

[TJ]

What would you do with ten grand, Dante?

[Ron]

What? How much do you fucking need?

[Dante]

I think we can get it done for like 7,500.

[Brandon]

I thought. I thought that's what I allocated, so. Yeah, you're good.

[Dante]

Okay.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Dante]

Awesome.

[TJ]

What are you gonna do with 77?

[Kyle]

I don't know.

[Mark]

What.

[Kyle]

What are you adding?

[Dante]

Sod. We need to. We need to add topsoil before we add the sod, because we're gonna grass it. And gravel. Gonna gravel the, like, entry area because that's gonna get lots of foot traffic and I don't want it to get trampled. And then down the far end is going to be all. Soddy's going to build a garden. It's going to be awesome for his show.

[TJ]

Bocce courts.

[Brandon]

Bocce courts.

[Dante]

We should get back. I think maybe next year we can do it.

[Brandon]

Okay, now you. You've been the one that's been spe. You've spearheaded this project. Do you get naming rights?

He already has the whole system.

Dante, is it called?

[Dante]

I think the plan was. I wanted to. So I wanted to make a surprise. I think we're gonna do, like, Stella blue.

[Brandon]

Oh, backyard. Cool.

[Dante]

I have a painter coming who's gonna paint.

[Brandon]

Oh, mural.

[TJ]

What about getting, like, a lawn care influencer to come through and maybe do it?

[Brandon]

Oh, those guys are the best, bro.

[Dante]

I tried so hard, but they're like.

[TJ]

They said no.

[Dante]

No one. They didn't say no. Just no one. Like, bitch.

[TJ]

Did you not think that's dangle enough bait? Should we dangle more bait?

[Dante]

If you got. You guys have way more reach than I do. If you can get somebody to come help.

[Kate]

Oh, Brandon, Brandon, remember that story you were talking about where you're like, this is an outdoor, like, patio store, and it's crazy you went there. It's in Chicago or north of Chicago. They have all this for your patio and your porch and your roof deck.

[Ron]

Oh, you're talking about the great escape.

[Kate]

The greatest. They DM'd me that. They DM'd me. And they were like, you guys ever want.

[Ron]

Oh, if they want to get involved, that great escape.

[Dante]

Unbelievable.

[Kate]

Yes.

[TJ]

They're the best.

[Kate]

Yeah, they're. Aren't they the best?

[Dante]

We love them.

[Brandon]

Their Prices are incredible.

[Ron]

All Yak fans should go to the Great Escape and they should DM us.

[Kate]

But anyway, they did DM me. And I don't know if I responded because I felt bad, because I was like, there's really nothing. I. I have sales, but okay, I'm out.

[Dante]

That would be huge.

[Brandon]

Okay.

[Dante]

All right, thanks, guys.

[Brandon]

All right, get back to work.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Dante]

Thanks.

[Jack G]

Love it.

[Dante]

Thanks. This was a good turnaround for me.

[Ron]

You've done it, Dante.

[Brandon]

By the way, we still got to plan our. Our next trip to Vegas. Because I've been thinking about it. I've been watching. Yeah, I've been watching this.

[Deutsche]

Oh, no.

Oh, I like that pool.

[Mark]

I like that pool.

[Brandon]

But yeah, Vegas. Vegas is the absolute best. Grab your bags, pack for Vegas. We'll see you there this summer for the summer tournament. There's also the NBA summer league starting in Vegas. And that's.

[TJ]

That's gonna be so fun.

[Brandon]

I keep talking about it, but it's gonna be the best summer league ever. With the amount of draft picks loaded,

[TJ]

so stacked, I want.

[Mark]

I want a vet to play in that. Just to make a surprise appearance. Like, vets will do that at pro ams. You know, they'll just like, show up and.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Mark]

Play in the pro Ams. Why doesn't it like.

[Brandon]

That would be fun.

[TJ]

Sometimes there's like, fourth year guys who are like, trying to hang on.

[Mark]

I want like, Anthony Edwards to play in summer league.

[Brandon]

I want Jalen Brunson to cement that he's the best player in the world.

[Mark]

I him to show up and go and play.

[Brandon]

By the way, have you guys seen the next parade today? It's quite something.

[TJ]

It looks like a booty.

[Brandon]

What's going on?

[Kate]

The booty fight.

[Brandon]

Incredible.

[TJ]

Is that a girl got Pulled off of a stoplight and replaced by a girl who immediately pulled her ass out and started twerking.

[Brandon]

Twerked in her face.

[Kate]

So the other girl was literally fist fighting the other woman ass and punching her ass.

[Brandon]

I posted it, tj.

[Nick]

Wow.

[Kate]

It was. I don't know if we could check.

[Brandon]

Yeah, we.

[TJ]

Cuz it's like the angle.

[Kate]

Hold on.

[TJ]

Okay, this isn't an angle I've seen.

[Brandon]

You got to scroll a little. Tj, Keep scrolling.

[Kate]

Wait for it, wait for it.

[Brandon]

This is when it's. This is when it's going to start. You're like, oh, this is nothing. Oh, it's something.

[Ron]

Whoa.

[Kate]

Wait.

[TJ]

And then.

[Dante]

And then.

[Unknown/Ad Voice]

Oh.

[Kyle]

Oh.

[Brandon]

And she's slapping her and she's working.

[Kyle]

She's actually trying to beat her up via ass.

[TJ]

Trying to beat her ass.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Oh.

[Brandon]

Oh my God.

[Mark]

Oh. Taking down everything.

[Kyle]

She doesn't mind.

[Kate]

Doesn't care even a little.

[Brandon]

By the way, shout out that lady for having the orange undies.

[Jack G]

Oh yeah.

[Brandon]

She was not enough credit that she went all the way.

[TJ]

She was planning to.

[Mark]

Knew that was going to happen.

[Jack]

Holy.

[Brandon]

I think it looks bad, dude.

[TJ]

There were the. The video of the people trying to get off the subway and the stairs are stationary.

[Brandon]

Oh, I saw there was like a

[TJ]

third move to walk off the subway stairs and more trains are dumping out. Like I heard somebody said four and a half million people. That. That's. Hell no.

[Brandon]

I'm fetal in this.

Yeah, that would freak me out.

[Dante]

Out.

[Kate]

Also remember how hot it gets down there?

[Jack G]

Oh, yeah.

[Kate]

Like it was a heat. That's hard to explain. Yeah.

[TJ]

Ass. Everything about it looks terrible. The. The people bringing the Chick Fil A through the crowd.

[Brandon]

Oh, that guy was a hero.

[TJ]

Hero.

[Brandon]

Brandon, you should actually find that guy. Give him a scholarship.

[TJ]

But how are they going to get back through that crowd? No one's gonna let forward.

[Brandon]

KFC tweeted that one. Did you see that one?

[Ron]

No, I didn't see it.

[Brandon]

This guy was. I mean, he's clearly like an Uber Eats delivery guy. And. And he just kept on doing his job.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Two of them through everything.

[TJ]

It must have been a bodacious order. Look at this massive order because there's two of them.

[Brandon]

Look at this guy. Oh, it's two of them.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Just fighting through the crowd.

[Mark]

Wow.

[Brandon]

You gotta get their lunch. Yeah, that's stuck in the subway.

Video is also at 5:30am oh my God.

[TJ]

That's so.

[Kate]

I think it was Gaz who brought up. I know. It's like historic to have the parades there in New York City. But why not Central park or somewhere

[TJ]

where I know where the whole safely and it's long and you can spread it out instead of just everybody packed into the streets.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[TJ]

And it's not just like the streets. It's like it down there. It was like that's like pre this. That's like 1700s city planning.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[TJ]

Like the streets aren't straight arrow. Yeah, it's terrible.

[Mark]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

I don't know why they didn't do Central Park.

[Kate]

Yeah. I think they need to maybe change it sometime, but who knows? Who am I?

[Ad Read Announcer]

Did you guys see what happened to Tyler K today?

[Brandon]

Yeah, he got. Did he almost get arrested?

[Ad Read Announcer]

He. Tyler Colic white player on the Knicks gets accosted by police who think he's

[Stephen]

not part of the team.

[Kate]

No way.

[TJ]

A white shirt too.

[Mark]

Oh, no, bro.

[Brandon]

I'm on the team.

[Mark]

Oh, man.

[Brandon]

He had a good sense of humor about it. I think he's said. I think he tweeted like, they don't even know I'm on the team.

[Mark]

It's happened to me.

[Kate]

I couldn't get into the bar a few times. So I get it.

[TJ]

The cow Bridges brought his dog to the parade. I kind of thought that that's like, yeah, the dog. That's going to be an anxiety inducing day for the dog. The dog doesn't get it.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Mitchell Robinson's trucks were awesome.

[TJ]

Yeah, he's a goat truck.

[Brandon]

He got to do big ass trucks.

He got. He loves big ass trucks. He's like a country boy and he loves trucks. He drives them to MSG for games, but they allowed him to put his truck in the parade. And when I say truck, you're thinking like a pickup truck.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

He has lifted like monster truck.

Like, chase, buddy. Look at.

[Kyle]

Oh, that's his truck.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

How sick is this truck?

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

How do you know it's his?

That truck is awesome.

[Kate]

He drives these to work.

[Stephen]

Work.

[Brandon]

Yeah, he drives us to MSG to work. It's nine to five.

[TJ]

That doesn't look that fun, to be honest with you type of stuff.

[Brandon]

Yeah, it would be fun if you had like, if you got invited to like an office building on the path that you could like be in air conditioning looking down on it.

[TJ]

Yes. But there's barely that. Except for Jack Mack. Jack Mack's building is he. He posted an Instagram this morning being like, I have a private balcony for this. And I didn't even know that this was the parade route. He said that he could have got laid off of it, but not able to get laid because he didn't call the huzz.

[Brandon]

Oh my God. Post parade is unbelievable too.

[TJ]

He could have had during parade.

[Brandon]

Oh my God.

[TJ]

Unheard of on the balcony.

[Brandon]

What a scene. What's up Brandon? A little smirk?

[Ron]

No, I'm just thinking about post parade pussy a little bit.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Ron]

During parade pussy was fun to think about too because I was doing like, like. What time does it start? 9:00am Daylight noise outside pussy doing an

[Mark]

experts parade when you win tonight?

[Ron]

No, this one's just going to be more low key.

[TJ]

Has any of your.

[Ron]

Can we get oldie here to ruin my moment again?

[Brandon]

Didn't you tell him to go on stage?

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Have your set him up for failure championships?

[Ron]

No, I didn't tell him to go on stage. He came on stage. I told him I'm going to kiss him on the mouth after we win.

[Brandon]

Got it.

[Ron]

He came to get his kiss a little too quickly.

[Kate]

That's okay.

[Ron]

I didn't mind.

[TJ]

What wrong. Have your favorite teams won championships? Have you ever been in a parade adjacent situation?

[Ron]

So no.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Dolphins.

[Ron]

Dolphins have not won in my lifetime. Mississippi State has not. Has only won baseball in my lifetime. The West Point Green wave have won 14 times in my lifetime. So Braves had many a parade down Commerce street in front of Braves 1 too. Yeah, the Braves too. Yeah.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Ron]

The Braves have won twice in my lifetime. Yeah. Probably win it again this year.

[TJ]

True.

[Kate]

I went to the women's soccer parade in New York City.

[Brandon]

Was it crazy?

[Kate]

It was great.

[Ron]

I'm sure that was fun too.

[Kate]

It's really cool.

[Brandon]

Was it like. Were people like stuck trying to get

[Ron]

out of the subway swapping recipes?

[Kate]

Yeah, we were all barefoot.

[TJ]

Was it crowded at like it was?

[Kate]

Yes, there was a ton of people there. But no, it was nowhere near.

[Ron]

Do they use the same parade route every time in New York? I know they don't have a whole lot.

[TJ]

Yes they do. That's like the historic parade route.

[Kate]

And then in like bronze on that route gets cemented the latest parade. So you can walk up and see all the parades that have been.

[Ron]

Oh, I see.

[Kate]

It's like the canyon of heroes or something like that.

[Brandon]

There it is.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[TJ]

They should have done the Puerto Rican Day parade route.

[Brandon]

What was that one?

[TJ]

It's got to be the. I think it may be in Brooklyn.

[Ron]

Oh that back in the.

[TJ]

Somewhere where The Rickens are 20s to the 50s.

[Ron]

They were just Yankees were parading every year.

[Kate]

The Puerto Rican Day parade was just here this past weekend and I live right on the edge of it and it was crazy. It Was fun.

[Brandon]

Oh, you were at the Gotham fc. Wait, is their team named after a.

[Ron]

No, no, she was at the.

[TJ]

The World cup in 2019.

[Kate]

That was a big deal. It was World Cup.

[Mark]

Oh, there we go.

[Brandon]

Brandon, you want to hear something crazy? Do you know there was. It was more days between this Knicks championship and their last one. Yeah, Then their last one and Babe Ruth's debut for the Yankees.

[Ron]

That makes sense. Like 19.

[Brandon]

Okay, fine.

[TJ]

Me, I thought that was in. It's remarkable people respect you but hate your kid.

[Ron]

1920. It's 1920.

[Kyle]

1970 sounds about right.

[Brandon]

Yeah, right.

[Mark]

Checks out actually. Yeah.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Ron]

I could have about the same 53 years. That makes sense. I mean it's dozen day. Dude, you're not sliding that past me. Bring the walker up in this.

[TJ]

Are you worried that if you try to mute your who you are as a person during the dozen that it will make you a less good player?

[Ron]

Yes.

[Brandon]

He can't. He's gonna stomp around. I can make it about himself. Are you worried yell at his teammates? Gonna steal his own teammates ball?

[Ron]

I never yell at PFT and Fran.

[Brandon]

No, you just take their questions.

[Ron]

When do I take their questions anyway?

[Mark]

You're worried about Jeff asking questions that cover a broad range of topics and not just your specific interest. Are you worried about that at all?

[Ron]

And I'm gonna take that, that mild dig and criticism and just respond.

[Brandon]

You worried there's not going to be a celebrity mashup? The second question that you guys always get because you have a dream team.

[Ron]

And I again hear that criticism as well. And I think you're both valid in your opinions and you both have your right. And I just want to shout out the troops and the first responders.

[Brandon]

Oh, that's really nice.

[TJ]

That's impressive.

[Mark]

Beautiful big cat. How do you feel with the dozen final four being here and having set out?

[Stefan]

Great.

[Mark]

I was thinking about you.

[Brandon]

Incredible.

[Mark]

I saw you after we clinched the final four and I was like, yeah, that's right. You just didn't.

[Ron]

I watched.

[Mark]

You sat out the entire season.

[Brandon]

I think I watched. Has to feel great about five questions of one of your matches. That was about it. Yeah. I mean you guys look like you're having fun. Yeah, it's great.

[TJ]

Jake Malisek is a weapon.

[Brandon]

So is that for him?

[TJ]

Are you practicing your talk on like are you going to shit talk Mal Sec? Probably not. Like he's a good looking boy. Like, are you going to shit talk Gruden? No. He's powerful.

[Ron]

No, but there have been teams that like when we get there and it's Dave on the other side or if it's Kirk on the other side, you know, adversaries. Guys that I've gone back and forth with. Yeah. But like tonight it's Gruden, Frank, Jake. No problem with them, you guys. No problem with any of you guys. And then I have no problem with.

[Brandon]

You're going with the wrong attitude.

[Ron]

No, I don't want to call any of you cancelable words tonight. I don't want to say a cancelable word. I don't want to.

[Jack]

I don't.

[TJ]

If you called me the N word, I would kind of take it as a compliment.

[Brandon]

Yeah, that'll be sick.

Who would you call the F word, Tommy?

[Ron]

Probably not any.

[Brandon]

I call them all Malasak.

[Mark]

Malasa.

[Brandon]

Rainey.

Yeah, let's do. Let's do, like. Let's get you prepped for the dozen. Let's just.

[Nick]

Just.

[Brandon]

Yeah, let's assign a slur to every single person.

[Ron]

Huh? No, I like.

[TJ]

Yeah, you could say dago and wap.

[Brandon]

Oh, yeah, you should call Glenn a wop. No, all. The whole team.

[TJ]

They're all w. We're all greasy.

[Ron]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Brandon]

Kyle, does it feel good that you're giant in this photo?

You are giant, Kyle.

[Kyle]

That's what. Yeah, that's what I think I look like. Oh, no.

[Brandon]

I put my hood up, but it made me look.

[Kate]

Tiny little face.

[Ron]

It's crazy that France front center every time I was like, me and Pft started the team.

[Kate]

They have to have someone good looking.

[Ron]

Oh, fair.

[Brandon]

Gruden's got a nice Dennis the Menace face going. Yeah, he looks really rubbing it in your face.

[Kate]

Frank looks cool as hell. Frank looks like he's in a rockabilly band.

[Brandon]

Frank's there for business.

[TJ]

He can't button his.

[Brandon]

He's about to give you a wedgie.

[Mark]

Nick and kb, are you. Are we worried about meeting Frank in the final?

[Brandon]

No, I think that'd be awesome.

[Kyle]

I think that.

[Brandon]

And I would be. I would be happy if we won. I'd be very happy me if he won.

[Mark]

Okay.

[Kyle]

I would.

[Dante]

Yeah.

[Mark]

I didn't know about the animosity.

[Kyle]

I think that would be perfect.

[Mark]

Okay.

[TJ]

That would be awesome.

[Brandon]

That's not happening unless Brandon gets a question from 2011. Jeff. What?

[Ron]

Who would.

[Brandon]

Who knows who Bruno Mars is

[Dante]

now?

[Brandon]

You'll get Alan Jackson.

[Ron]

I don't answer the music questions. That's all. Fran and PF2 or balance team with Brandon.

[Brandon]

You're gonna do the People Love the Cosby Show.

[Mark]

The one show you watched or the one of the two movies you've seen.

[Ron]

And I appreciate that criticism, Mark. I just want to give a shout out to all those out there less fortunate than us.

[Brandon]

Dedicate this win tonight to the first responders.

[Ron]

To the first. I'm doing it tonight for the troops and the first responders.

[Brandon]

I love that.

[Ron]

That and puppies.

[Brandon]

Very nice.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Technically, white socks. Dave and Deutsch are first responders.

[Brandon]

Yeah, they're like pre first responders. Well, that doesn't.

[Ron]

That's not a really zero with.

[TJ]

Zero with.

[Ron]

Yeah, they didn't really respond. They were just kind of there.

[Brandon]

Pre. First responders would be the tornado.

[Ad Read Announcer]

To be a first responder, you have to get a. Do you have to get a call or some type of.

[Brandon]

Yeah, you have to respond to something.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Respond to anything.

[Brandon]

They responded.

[Mark]

Respond to the tornado.

[Brandon]

The house.

[Ron]

Yeah. Just met the tornado there. Like they were friends.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Quite literally first responded.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Okay, heroes.

[TJ]

Heroes.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Ron]

I think the people that showed up right after them were the first responders because, again, they were at the scene when it happened.

[Brandon]

I can't get over the dull knife. Me neither. What a scene that Deutsch walked into

that woman's under her house, and she's like, dave, I need you to kill my birds.

Here, take my jealous knife. Here's my dullest night.

Have to please, Dave.

Whisper into their ears as you cut. As you slowly saw their heads off.

[Ron]

That chicken was probably fine.

[Brandon]

Yeah, the chicken's still alive.

[Jack G]

Could have lived easier.

[Ron]

Ryan Hall, y' all gave us a ton of shout out.

[Jack G]

No way.

[Jack]

He was good.

[Ron]

Not only shouted you out for donating. Shouted. Shouted everybody out. Shouted. Shouted a whole. A whole lot of them out. I don't believe Max Velocity did the same. He. He used our platform and never mentioned this one time. So interesting.

[Brandon]

Oh, is that true?

[Ron]

Cannot refute these allegations.

[Ad Read Announcer]

He did.

[Nick]

No, he did. He did tweet. He did tweet, So I guess that counts, right?

[Ron]

Sure.

[Nick]

What I was hearing, though, is. Is Ryan was like a minute behind yesterday, which is.

[Brandon]

Oh, no.

[Ron]

I don't believe that to be true at all.

[Brandon]

Oh, no.

In a minute. In tornado time, is everything separation of life and death.

[Ron]

Just throwing out accusations that just aren't true.

[Nick]

I mean, I was on Max.

[Unknown/Ad Voice]

People.

[Nick]

People were.

[Ron]

Shut up saying that. Shut up, head.

[Mark]

I got my first taste of watching Z watch soccer. How was it yesterday?

[Brandon]

Fun.

[TJ]

Was he a psychoanating?

[Mark]

Yeah, fun. It was very confusing because I know Z's an Arsenal fan, and the Arsenal guys, a lot of them were Playing for England in the biggest soccer tournament in the world. And Zah was, like, getting mad that they were playing and it was a

[TJ]

very club over country.

[Mark]

Yeah. Saka was, like, coming into the game and he was like, no, what are we doing? And I was. I was very confused. But you explained it to me. But, yeah, it was an interesting perspective. I've never really seen someone.

[Nick]

His hamstring fell off the bone last season. His Achilles is almost off the bone right now. So I don't know why he's. Why he's out there, but. Yeah, not club over country.

[Jack G]

Which.

[Dante]

Yeah.

[Mark]

You, like, hate England big time.

[Nick]

So. So the one that I.

[Mark]

Do you hate England because you hate England, or do you hate England because Arsenal players play football for England?

[Nick]

I. I hate England because I hate certain aspects of England.

[Mark]

Okay.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

You're. You're messy over Ronaldo, right?

[Nick]

I'm a Ronaldo over Messi guy.

[Brandon]

Why?

[Nick]

Messi says wrong.

[Brandon]

So stupid. You look so dumb, dude.

[Nick]

Messi. Messi, the most protective player in the history of football. Did you see the other game when he stomped on the. When he stomped on the guys and he didn't even get it. He didn't even get a yellow.

[Brandon]

What about when Ronaldo scored all those goals away? He doesn't anymore. He hasn't in over a thousand minutes.

[Nick]

I mean, I'm not gonna back him, but tough. Look, this. This past game, but Ronaldo's done it in England. He's done it in Spain. He's done it in Italy. Messi's only done it under Pep Guardiola in Barcelona.

[Brandon]

Well, and also he won a World cup.

[Nick]

And Messi can't do it. Messi can't do it on a wet night of Stoke.

[Brandon]

What about World Cup?

[Nick]

Nah, nah, that was. That was. That was. That was more Martinez than Messi.

[TJ]

I like that.

[Ron]

Most goals ever in World cup history. Correct.

[TJ]

It was Martinez. Yeah.

[Nick]

With Miroslav close, I guess.

[Ron]

MBAs. Mbappe is going to pass him. Seconds.

[Mark]

But Bagan pass Mbappe.

[Brandon]

So passing the torch. But Ronaldo has, like, what, he's got, like eight goals or something in the, like, seven World Cups he's played in.

[Nick]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Brandon]

That's pretty cool. He sucks at.

[Nick]

At international level, but club level, he's done it all.

[Kyle]

It's pretty shitty.

[Brandon]

Yeah, shitty. Shitty. He's holding him hostage to do.

[Mark]

There's no Lawless.

[Brandon]

They're basically Titus.

You got to listen to a song. Kicking balls.

[Mark]

Kicking balls.

[Brandon]

Oh, it's the worst.

[Dante]

You would love.

[TJ]

What genre?

[Brandon]

Alternative.

[TJ]

Oh, nice.

[Brandon]

No, it's like alternative to what Almost like Butt rock.

Kicking balls.

[Kate]

Is it like an AI song or it's.

[Brandon]

No, no, he has a Spotify. He has some tunes.

[Ron]

Who?

[Jack]

What?

[Kate]

Oh, that guy?

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Jack G]

Okay, don't scare him because Gates.

[Kate]

Okay. I didn't realize that was like a real.

[Mark]

Kicking balls.

[Brandon]

Kicking balls is so good.

[TJ]

Guys, I have to skedaddle. It's been a fun week. That's my music.

[Mark]

The.

[Ron]

And that's. That's wrong.

[Kate]

What the.

[Brandon]

Who is doing that?

[Ron]

Hell yeah.

[Brandon]

Thank God this didn't happen during like Deutsch.

How did you get the Phantom beard?

Oh my God.

[Kate]

The Phantom came out of nowhere. He must have come out of the darkness.

[Brandon]

Oh, I'm so happy.

[Ron]

[Stefan]

All over the country.

[Ron]

Everybody check out your schedules. Check out a Phantom's coming to see you. Phantom.

[Brandon]

Did you get caught in that weather last night?

[Stefan]

Not too bad. All right, I was in Milwaukee a little bit.

[Brandon]

What has changed since the last time we've seen you?

[Stefan]

Well, not only do I have this cape.

The party never stops.

[TJ]

Cops.

You're going city to city, day to day.

[Stephen]

This is.

[Brandon]

You're going to Detroit right after this?

[Stefan]

That's correct.

[Brandon]

Holy.

For the people coming to your shows or that want to come, what can they expect?

[Stefan]

You can expect ghoulish rock and roll and a good time.

[Jack]

Hell, yeah.

[Kate]

Hell, yeah. You've seen anything spooky lately? Been any good? Cemeteries.

[Stefan]

I've driven by many cemeteries, but nothing is scarier than being in a traffic jam.

[Kate]

Words. Amen.

[Brandon]

Are you still subbing?

[Stefan]

Yes, but this tour has been so good, it might be time for a permanent summer vacation.

[Ad Read Announcer]

There we go.

[Ron]

Yes.

[Brandon]

Oh, you're the man, Phantom.

[Kate]

I got a text this morning from the Phantom. He's like, I'm in town. Can I come on the Echoes?

[Stephen]

Always.

[Kate]

Always. Yes, please.

[Brandon]

Always, Anytime.

[Kate]

Hell, yeah.

[Stefan]

And thank you for having me back on the yak.

[Brandon]

Yeah, sure.

[Kate]

For sure.

[Stefan]

And I got a new album out I should probably tell you about called Revenge of the Phantom.

[Brandon]

Oh, Revenge for what?

[Ron]

Yeah, what happened?

[Stefan]

Well, it's my revenge against the music industry.

[TJ]

Good.

[Stefan]

We don't need them. I don't have a manager, booking agent, or record label, but I play ghoulish rock and roll all over the country.

[Brandon]

And you have

[Stephen]

cape.

[Stefan]

And I have a cape and a belt and a guitar.

[Brandon]

Yeah, that cape is pretty sick.

[Ron]

Pretty sick cape.

[Stefan]

It's a wonderful cape.

[Ron]

Can you stand up?

[Brandon]

And I just want to.

[Kate]

He's got a scorpion in his bolo tie.

[Brandon]

Oh, my God, this cape.

[Kate]

Yep.

[Ron]

Don't sleep on the belt.

[Brandon]

Oh, yes, man.

[Stefan]

Cape was made for me by the great Dorian Alberti, who is Sarasota, Florida's top Elvis tribute artist and Phantom AD wardrobe artist.

[Kate]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Brandon]

There's a custom cape. You didn't say that.

[Stefan]

Yes, it's a custom cape.

[Kate]

Phantom. Sorry, go ahead.

[Kyle]

Kyle, how is life on the road? Do you take a bus?

[Stefan]

I take a mid size sports utility vehicle.

[Brandon]

Oh, my goodness.

[Stefan]

But maybe we'll upgrade to a bus at some point.

[Kyle]

Do you sleep in hotels?

[Stefan]

Hotels, Airbnbs, wherever. They'll have me under a pool table.

[Brandon]

It's the Rockstar lifestyle Phantom.

[Kate]

[Kate]

his house if you.

[Stefan]

Oh, I would love to.

[TJ]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Is there any. Where's the weirdest place you've played?

[Stefan]

Well, I played at a haunted house in Des Moines called the Slaughterhouse.

[Ron]

That's. That kind of checks out, though.

[Stefan]

You.

[Ron]

A haunted house?

[Brandon]

Was it a haunted house like you could buy tickets and go through, or is it a haunted. Haunted house?

[Ad Read Announcer]

Spirits.

[Stefan]

Oh, you can buy tickets and go through. And they have a Speak Easy lounge where I played. But it also is a extremely terrifying haunted house.

[Brandon]

Are you afraid of ghosts?

[Stefan]

No, I love ghosts very much.

[Brandon]

Okay.

[Stefan]

And they love me from. From what I can gather.

[Jack G]

[Brandon]

It's just Basically you'd be good at it. Well, there's two versions. One is what we play where you just. Basically it's just people online who have. Have low following. So think like 2, 3000 max. Ish.

[Jack G]

Okay.

[Brandon]

And just weird guys. Who. Who's the guy who's swimming in his pool? That one stuck with me. Remember him?

[Ron]

[Brandon]

No, no, no.

[Ron]

They're just doing it for the love of the no.

[Brandon]

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

And he didn't understand it at all.

[Stephen]

Like.

[Brandon]

All right, so the. A perfect example would be not anymore. Because he's got a little bit of a following the wave fighting guy would have been a great fella.

[Jack G]

Okay, like.

[Brandon]

Like a guy who's doing something online for pretty much no. 1.

[Ron]

That's how Kate found that guy.

[Brandon]

But it's a tightrope walk because you can't go too sad, right?

[Kate]

Is he still alive?

[Brandon]

I don't know.

I'm Leonard Carpenter, better known as Leo the Immortal.

[Mark]

Yes.

[Jack]

I want to show you my genius

[Brandon]

backyard pool, which only costs about $200, but I can do a full swimming stroke in it because I've dug a trough. That's right. Just tie myself to the shed. Oh, yeah.

[Kyle]

This is what we're looking for.

[Brandon]

And he has what, a thousand followers?

Leo the.

[Kate]

He still only has a thousand.

[Ron]

Did he?

[Brandon]

Dougl, look at him. Oh, I'm so happy this is what I remembered. Cuz I really didn't want to be bummed out.

[Kyle]

But there's the camera.

[Brandon]

Tied himself through his shed. Oh, backstroke.

That's pretty good idea.

[Jack G]

So do you bring him in here or you just.

[Ron]

No, let's do his video.

[Brandon]

We just watch him and we.

[Ron]

We've always done like a bracket.

[Brandon]

Like, when's the last time he's posted?

Oh, no.

[Ron]

Oh, wait.

[Jack G]

20.

[Kyle]

20.

[Brandon]

Oh, no. Did he write.

Did he write Conan the Barbarian?

Yeah. Or something.

[Mark]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon]

Most Conan novels.

[Stephen]

Most.

[Brandon]

Not all.

Okay.

Oh, no. Leo. Do we lose Leo? No chance. He said he was immortal.

This would be really disappointing.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Did you guys see The. I didn't. I don't even know how I got targeted with this ad. A lot of people from Barcelona, I think, either liked or retweeted or whatever on Instagram. The Italian dad who had, like, his first Instagram post was cutting bread in half to make a sandwich.

[Brandon]

No.

[Ad Read Announcer]

Yeah. I think he's ineligible for this now because I think he has too many followers. But it had, I think, like 2 or 3 million views. I sent it to CJ1.

[Mark]

Bernie probably be disgusted at that video, huh? Seen bread shout out the first responders.

[Stephen]

My very first Instagram post. And today I'm going to show you. Hi, this is Peter. This is my very first Instagram post. And today I'm going to show you a trick that's going to rock your world. We have here an ordinary piece of sourdough bread toasted very nicely. And we are going to make a sandwich. Now, most people make a sandwich, they cut it this way and they fold it over. And I'm going to show you how to make a full sandwich on this slice of bread right out of the toaster. Hold it. Don't cut yourself.

[Brandon]

No way. Oh, boy.

[Ron]

How can you not cut yourself?

[Stephen]

A sharp knife.

[Kate]

No.

[Stephen]

Got to get it started. And while the toast is warm, hopefully even hot, you will be able to slice your bread through the middle. And voila. You now have a full sandwich out of one slice of bread.

[Brandon]

Well, that's two.

[Ron]

Well, now two slices.

[Kyle]

Incredible.

[Ron]

Use that in your slice.

[Mark]

Incredible. I love it. I love it.

[Brandon]

Oh, he's good.

[Kate]

There's only two sandwiches.

[TJ]

Whoa.

[Stephen]

Oh, Instagram video post.

[Stefan]

The.

[Brandon]

Who are the. Who are the. Was it the Walmart guys?

[Ron]

Yeah. Oh, they were.

[Unknown/Ad Voice]

They were.

[Jack G]

They weren't part of a. Oh, the depressing Walmart guys.

[Ron]

They were the knockoff Costco guys. But they were not.

[Kate]

They posted again recently. I feel like they had a break and then they popped up on my feet.

[Ron]

How are Costco guys doing? How are they doing?

[Kate]

They seem to be doing.

[Ron]

Seems like the fads over a little bit, but they're still going.

[Kate]

Seem to be. Still going. Yeah, they're back.

[Brandon]

Oh, he's old.

[Ron]

He's really grown.

[Brandon]

But this shirt.

[Nick Bartholomew]

1998.

[Brandon]

It's been like that since I can remember. I mean, I don't think it's that

[TJ]

much to ask for.

[Brandon]

And these shorts are still $15. And when are they ever going to get on rollback?

[Ron]

Oh, no.

[TJ]

We're Walmart guys.

[Brandon]

No holiday is complete without the seasonal aisle impressing. Unexpected cameo alert.

[TJ]

We're Walmart.

[Brandon]

Guys, of course they're going to prepare to be homeless by checking out the camping aisle.

[Nick Bartholomew]

Sad.

[Stephen]

Okay.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

Hey, do you think someone unalive us in our sleep had an air mattress?

[Jack G]

Yeah.

[Nick]

I know, right?

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Stephen]

Okay.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

All right. See you, Brandon.

[Mark]

See you, Brandon. Gotta go study. Gonna go hit the sporkles. Get warmed up.

[Brandon]

He's not gonna be able to contain himself tonight.

[Mark]

I don't.

During the tornado talk, when I was. I was gathering, right? And I hollered upstairs. I would say, upstairs, somebody talks to me, and I say who I want. And they gave him to me. And when he heard upstairs, for some reason, he thought that meant everybody upstairs can go to the yak. And he lit out and came down here. I don't. I don't know why. He must have an idea or something. Yeah.

[Jack G]

Because he was like, y' all need another.

[Ron]

[Brandon]

be a test tonight.

I think he's gonna be outside greeting people as they come in.

[Brandon]

That's nice. That's the type of job.
