Main Event: Ben "Mintzy" Mintz's PowerPoint pitch for a Barstool-branded cruise

---

EPISODE OVERVIEW

The episode centers around Ben Mintz (Mintzy) pitching his idea for a Barstool-themed cruise. The show’s hosts dissect Mintzy’s preparation—or lack thereof—for his PowerPoint pitch, the cruise's concept, logistical issues, and its (thin) business prospects. Along the way, the group dives into a classic Yak tangent: debating soups, discussing nepo babies, the business of business, and wild Barstool office antics.

Despite skepticism and relentless ribbing, Mintzy eventually delivers a makeshift PowerPoint and outlines his vision for the cruise. The episode is loose, chaotic, and irreverent, epitomizing the camaraderie and roast-heavy banter that define The Yak.

EPISODE SECTIONS & KEY MOMENTS

1. Dinner Banter, Appetizer Philosophy, and the Deep Soup Dive

(00:36–13:00)

• The group opens with jokes about family dinners, reading menus more than books, and food talk.

  • Quote – Menu Reading:
    "Have you read more words in a book or on a menu?" — Big Cat (03:34)

• Intense debate: best appetizer strategy, "star dish" theory, lobster bisque supremacy, and whether chili counts as soup.

  • Quote – Soup Philosophy: "Lobster bisque is Don Staley. South Carolina." — Big Cat (07:27)
  • Quote – Soup Realness: "You're a fat slob if you get [lobster bisque]. You're just licking cream." — Kyle (06:48)

• Various soups get roasted (gazpacho, pumpkin, avocado) while others are elevated (gumbo, matzo ball, French onion, chicken and dumplings).

---

2. The Real Reason Mintzy's Doing the Cruise Pitch

(21:00–24:00)

• Producer TJ shares that Mintzy was hinting (not directly asking) for help from multiple Barstool staffers about making his PowerPoint.

• Group suspects Mintzy is outsourcing the actual slide creation—again.

  • Quote:
    "If his producer created the PowerPoint, I will throw the PowerPoint out... Not a single person will ever step foot on a cruise ship again." — Big Cat (22:01)

---

3. PowerPoint Gate: Rule Laying and Exposing Mintzy

(24:00–33:00)

• Mintzy confesses his "editor" made the PowerPoint with him on a Zoom, but Mintzy "came up with ideas."
  • Quote:
    "I did all the creative stuff, but he created the PowerPoint." — Mintzy (28:29)
• Hosts mandate Mintzy make his own presentation from scratch, unaided, in one hour.
  • Big Cat’s Challenge: Mintzy can bypass the task if he agrees to jump off the cruise ship during the event (Mintzy turns it down, worried about surviving). (29:24)

---

4. Live Mintzy PowerPoint Supervision & Ridicule

(33:00–56:00)

• Producers (and the audience) literally monitor Mintzy as he struggles to make a PowerPoint alone. TJ and Tate babysit, reporting back: Mintzy can't format slides, struggles to insert images, calls his editor again.
• The group places bets on whether he can manage basic formatting or change fonts.
  • Quote:
    "If he changes the font, I'm impressed." — (34:46)
• Universal agreement: Mintzy’s low-level business skills are, ironically, perfect for a Barstool cruise pitch.

---

5. Barstool Cruise PowerPoint—Mintzy’s Big Moment

(92:14–107:32)

• Mintzy presents his "DIY" PowerPoint with the following elements:

  • Concept Name: "The Inaugural Barstool Cruise: The Pirate Ship Takes to the Sea"

  • He credits wanton Don and Eddie as the original idea guys.

  • Logistics provided by industry partners (specifically Johnny Trongan; repeated confusion about the name—"Johnny Trombone").

    • Quote:
      "Shout out to wanton Don and Eddie...I just want to be transparent and give them credit." — Mintzy (93:10)

  • 4-day cruise itinerary: Opening night in Miami with Pop Punk, sail away party with “Jammy Buffett” band, private Bahamas island for games and DJs, Dead night (Grateful Dead cover band), return to Miami.

  • Talent Activation: Stand-up comedy from Barstool personalities, live podcasts, competitions, "Nicky Smokes & Annika Singles Night," chef demos, basketball tournaments.

    • Quote:
      "What are you doing?" — Big Cat, referring to Mintzy’s role on the cruise (102:26)

  • Sponsor Integration: DraftKings, High Noon, Pink Whitney, Pardon My Cheesesteak, Stella Blue Coffee, Raising Cane’s.

  • Struggles with images are crystal clear—Mintzy can’t find the Yak logo or upload images except stock ones from PowerPoint.

    • Quote:
      "I searched on the stock... 'insert images'... and that's it." — Mintzy (106:27)

  • Final Slide: "The pirate ship hits the sea, who's coming with us?”

    • Quote:
      "If you build it, they will come. I believe." — Mintzy (107:11)

• The group grills Mintzy on logistics, talent costs, legalities (casino location), and the economics (“Wouldn’t it be sweet?” becomes the joke title for the pitch).

  • Quote:
    "Wouldn't it be sweet?" — Big Cat, after listing all Mintzy's pie-in-the-sky ideas (105:16, 113:22)
  • Mintzy miscalculates the basic math (3000 tickets x $3000 is $9 million, not $900,000). (115:15)

• The group is generally entertained by Mintzy's dogged pursuit and lack of business acumen but admits diehard fans would buy in.

  • Quote:
    "I'm not gonna say no." — Big Cat (109:21)

• Next steps: A Zoom with the cruise company and possibly pitching to Dave Portnoy.

6. Classic Yak Derailed Tangents

(Throughout, highlights below)

• Soup Talk (00:36–13:44): Above, but worth noting it’s long and features some memorable dunks.
• Nepo Babies (49:00–51:07): Group defends Nepo parents as just helping their kids—“like an Asian tiger mom” (49:38).
• Business of Business (64:12–66:46): Speculation on what businesspeople actually do—calls, PowerPoints, graphs, "putting a pin in things."
  • Quote:
    "Business is just emailing people you're going to circle back." — Kate (65:12)
• Cosmetic and Sperm Banks (68:00–71:17): Strange insights: “women get salmon sperm injections,” sperm bank processes, redhead donors.
• Acapella Groups & Rugby (86:12–88:51): Musing on grown men having kitchen jam sessions, and the fun of being in an acapella group, transitioning to rugby comparisons and trans athletes ("nothing burger" effect).
• Mintz's Role on the Cruise (109:51): Playing poker, lifeguard, cannonball contest—hyper-specific, mostly ridiculous.

NOTABLE QUOTES/EXCHANGES BY TIMESTAMP

• 03:34–04:04:

  — Banter about Mintzy’s formatting limits.

• 93:10:
  "Shout out to wanton Don and Eddie...I just want to be transparent and give them credit."
  — Mintzy, admits the cruise concept is not original.

• 102:26:
  "What are you doing?" — Big Cat
  "Whatever I'm called to do. I'm gonna be around." — Mintzy
  (Hilarious lack of clarity on his role)

• 105:16, 113:22:
  "Wouldn't it be sweet?"
  — Big Cat, summing up Mintzy’s daydreaming approach to event planning and the go-to refrain for the pie-in-the-sky ambitions.

• 115:15:
  "If 3,000 stoolies are paying $3,000 a ticket, that's $9 million, not $900,000."
  — Producer TJ, correcting Mintzy’s bad math.

---

HIGHLIGHTS & MEMORABLE MOMENTS

• Mintzy’s Struggle with PowerPoint:
  Multiple segments where the hosts joke about Mintzy’s inability to do basic PowerPoint functions, needing "babysitting," and his default "chin rub think face." It’s clear his technical skills are bottom-tier, which the show finds equal parts endearing and infuriating.

• Open Admission of Outsourced Work:
  Mintzy's quick confession that he relied on an “editor,” and the group’s resulting demand that he do the work himself, is played for considerable laughs.

• The “Wouldn’t it be Sweet” Thread:
  This phrase becomes the group’s shorthand for Mintzy’s chronic lack of concrete planning or responsibility.

• Creative Contributions:
  When pressed, Mintzy lists exactly which ideas were his and which came from others (labeling slides “NM” for “not mine”).

• Final Reaction:
  Group ultimately humors Mintzy’s ambition with a “maybe,” conditional on more business sense and a real plan.

---

IMPORTANT TIMESTAMPS

• 21:00–24:00: PowerPoint outsourcing confrontation.
• 28:29–29:54: Mintzy admits he didn’t do the PowerPoint and is ordered to make his own.
• 92:14–107:32: Mintzy’s PowerPoint presentation and Q&A.
  • 92:33: Opening line of his pitch.
  • 93:10: Admits idea isn’t original.
  • 102:26/104:45: Challenged about his purpose on the cruise and budgeting.
  • 106:35: Hilarity over his search for the Yak logo.
  • 107:06: Summing up: “If you build it, they will come…”
  • 113:22: “Wouldn’t it be sweet?” refrain.

---

OVERALL TONE & TAKEAWAYS

• Banter-heavy, self-deprecating, openly mocking of Mintzy’s lack of business/tech skills.
• Genuine camaraderie shines through—relentless razzing is affectionate.
• The episode typifies The Yak: conceptually chaotic but deeply entertaining for fans.
• Mintzy’s “cruise” is a fun bit and the subject of real deadlines, but no one is seriously expecting it to work unless heavy hitters (like Dave Portnoy) get involved and real planning happens.

---

Bottom Line:
Mintzy’s Barstool Cruise pitch provided comedy gold, set a new low for PowerPoint competence, and reinforced why The Yak’s blend of creative chaos is irresistible to fans. The cruise will probably never happen—but if it does, expect “Wouldn’t it be sweet?” to be printed on every ticket.

[A]

Big cat? Have you read more let more words in a book or on a menu?

[B]

Menu for sure, for sure.

[F]

I might be a book.

[A]

One book is how many menus.

[B]

Yeah, but that's what big cattle's page. I've been to Cheesecake. I'm just thinking about on menu 54. I'm thinking about how many times I've been in a Cheesecake Factory and that menu is extensive.

[C]

You're a scholar.

[A]

Yeah, that was your eighth grade summer reading.

A library for venues I bring a bookmark.

[B]

[B]

Sir, are you ready to order? No, I'm actually only halfway through.

[A]

That's all for tonight.

[B]

The kids menu should be forever.

[G]

All orders come with.

[A]

Yeah, but I think people will take advantage of it.

[B]

Yeah, I know but that's like the kids menu rocks.

[C]

If we're doing delivery, I just want a small item.

[B]

Right.

[C]

I'll add that on right on the.

[B]

Kids menu and I just do the hack. If I just order, I order every time I Order dinner at a restaurant or like delivery. I order like my kids are two, like three. Magnus von Magnuson's like strong men. And I'm like, well, you're gonna have the kung pao chicken, a quesadilla, a hot dog and a slice of pizza. And then they have one bite of one thing. And I'm like, well, who's gonna take all this food?

[A]

Oh, man.

[C]

Oh, no, you're fat ass. Yeah, that's me. No, I'm kidding.

[B]

No, you couldn't shame me.

[C]

I have two strong opinions on lobster bisque.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Both kind of conflicting are the ones the.

[B]

The strongest.

[C]

First, it doesn't get better in the soup department.

[E]

Oh, that's the best soup.

[C]

There might be soups that can. Wow, can't talk anymore. That can be as good.

[B]

Yeah, I think you might be right.

[E]

It's. It's damn good.

[C]

But if you're saying like, I'm a chicken noodle guy, fine. Head toilet.

[B]

Head toilet.

[C]

Broccoli, cheddar, head toilet.

[A]

I had chicken noodles, load of baked potato.

[E]

Okay.

[B]

Can I ask a question though?

[C]

I think it's bisque and chowder.

[E]

What are you.

[B]

Are you counting chili?

[C]

No.

[B]

Okay. See, that's what I don't like when people say chili's not a soup, it's a soup. You eat it the same way as every other soup.

[E]

It is A good clam chowder I.

[C]

Think is on the same.

[E]

Is as good as a good bit.

[B]

Clam chowder has too much of a variance.

[E]

It does.

[B]

You get a bad one, it's basically like, well, I have food poisoning.

[E]

Agreed. You don't want to eat that lobster piss, though. You get a really good one. I feel like you're scraping the bottom of the bowl really quickly.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. And that's not a lot there.

[C]

That's my conflicting opinion. You're a fat slob if you get it. You're just licking cream.

[E]

You are. That's all you're doing.

[B]

If you have scraping almost table full.

[C]

Of apps, you don't need to be licking cream in between.

[A]

Conflicting.

[B]

So. So chili, you're just not counting. Cuz chili I think is the best by far.

[C]

Yeah, agreed.

[G]

It's so good that.

[E]

But Chile has built its own neighborhood with its own houses.

[B]

That's how dominant it is.

[E]

Yeah, but it is. It is transcendent.

[B]

Chili is Yukon women's basketball.

[E]

It is transcendent soups.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

I think the bisque is right in the soup category. It's a one seed right now.

[B]

Lobster bisque is Don Staley. South Carolina.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

I am on the exact opposite side of this.

[E]

You're anti bisque.

[A]

I like my broth transparent.

[B]

You also are a woman.

[C]

Get this guy in a cola.

[H]

I do love a good noodle soup.

[E]

You're a clear scoop guy.

[F]

You got the.

[C]

Yeah, that's the palate of, like, a bullied tween.

[A]

Minestrone, French onion.

[B]

You're a bulimic girl.

[C]

Okay.

[E]

Is it clear?

[A]

Well, yes, when you get underneath of the cheese.

[E]

Yeah, but you ought to get underneath of the cheese.

[A]

Yeah, I said transparent.

[B]

French onion is almost like deep dish pizza, where it's like every now and then, but it's. It's a process.

[E]

It's a lot.

[B]

And like the big piece of bread. Yeah, it's a lot.

[C]

Yeah.

[G]

It's very filling for a soup, but I wouldn't say that's dweebish. French onion.

[B]

I like French onion. I'm saying I like deep dish, but it's like, you know that when you get into French onion, it's like, all right, buckle up.

[G]

Right.

[B]

I gotta wear a different shirt.

[G]

Time and place, Kyle.

[E]

I think lobster biscuits as close to an auto order as I've got. If I see lobster bisque on the menu.

[B]

How far from the it?

[E]

I don't care.

[A]

What if It's a hot day?

[B]

You're in Davenport.

[E]

Lobster biscuit is a decent soup for a hot day.

[B]

Davenport, Iowa.

[I]

Teacher cream.

[C]

We're not doing this.

[E]

I mean, I kind of. Broccoli. Broccoli. Cheddar is good. Kyle, you're. You're wrong on that.

[H]

You know what people sleep on borscht.

[B]

Oh, what a cake. I was gonna say I can trash more of these. Like, gazpacho is trash.

[H]

And a little bit of sauce.

[A]

Gazpacho is a bloody Mary.

[B]

Yeah, gazpacho's gross.

[A]

Broccoli cheddar. Broccoli cheddar is a dip.

[B]

Yup.

[C]

French onion was a dip for me. I was dipping the bread in. Dipping.

[B]

The bread's already different. Do they have chicken dumpling? Because that one, That's.

[H]

That's a high.

[B]

Chicken dumplings, the man's version of chicken noodle. That's like, hey, I'm a man. I'll get the chicken done.

[E]

Y' all consider that's just basically eating.

[B]

Chicken pot pie in a soup form.

[E]

So good soup. Down south, we just have chicken and dumplings. I'll never consider a soup, even though.

[A]

It'S soupy, you put in a bowl.

[E]

Yeah.

[H]

What's the Cajun stuff with the sausage?

[E]

It's ice cream soup, then gumbo.

[H]

Gumbo? Is that a soup?

[E]

If it is, gumbo is way high up.

[B]

Gumbo should be number one.

[E]

Then.

[B]

Also, pumpkin soup is trash.

[E]

Pumpkin soup's awful.

[B]

Avocado soup. Never heard of it. That's something. Nick.

[E]

Has anybody here ever had she crab soup? No, it's. It's as good as lobster bisque. It's elite.

[C]

See, I agree. Yeah, I agree.

[E]

I don't know. She crab soup is incredible, though.

[A]

She crab.

[E]

It's basically bisque with bits of crab in it.

[B]

I like that.

[E]

Yeah, it's rich. It's creamery. It's creamy. It's savory.

[B]

Blue crabs.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm not. I'm not gay.

[H]

Oh, and they're.

[B]

I only eat she crabs. Straightest soup you can eat. The. Pull up that list. I just want to see. I just want to trash on a couple.

[E]

Let's just hate.

[B]

Let's just hate. Let's do a hate. I think Manhattan clam chowder sucks.

[E]

Oh, the red. Yeah, it's not good.

[A]

Beef stew is the best.

[B]

Beef stew is incredible. You're absolutely right. Beef stew is so.

[A]

If you're counting bisque, you're counting. You're counting stew.

[B]

I think stew is incredible.

[H]

I love a good.

[E]

I thought we were hating.

[B]

Okay. Yeah, we're back.

[E]

Gazpacho. Garbage.

[B]

Gazpacho is just garbage. Like, oh, because the Spanish do it. We gotta do it. No, that.

[H]

What's that? Cold soup?

[A]

Butternut squash.

[D]

Gazpacho's cold.

[I]

Yeah.

[D]

Pozole is delicious.

[H]

Yes.

[B]

That's tomato soups. I actually don't think could even be on there. Because you just need.

[E]

It's.

[B]

You're doing it for the grilled cheese.

[E]

Look at that. Borscht. And she tried to.

[H]

Dude, I'm telling you.

[E]

Look at it.

[H]

I'm telling you.

[A]

Borscht is for when you get skunked and you pour.

[H]

No, here in the neighborhood.

[C]

Bathe in that warm, salty ricotta and.

[B]

A. I'll say this ramen doesn't get enough credit. Ramen.

[C]

Oh, ramen lovers are really, really high on it.

[B]

I've been on a ramen kick.

[C]

Ramen or ramen's top tier.

[B]

It really is. If you get the real ramen, it's.

[E]

Good split pea soup. And get the out of here.

[B]

What's menudo?

[E]

That's a music group.

[C]

Yeah, you're right.

[B]

With.

[A]

Have we talked matzo ball?

[H]

Ricky Martin saying how much I love matzo ball soup on a cold day.

[B]

Corn chowder is pretty good.

[I]

Too.

[A]

Most soups are good.

[B]

We ones in here that are just.

[A]

We went in with this with a hating mindset.

[E]

Soups are good.

[H]

Ooh, a Greek like lemon chicken orzo.

[B]

I'm in for that. Yeah. With rice.

[A]

I think soup has the same hit rate as Breaking Bad episodes.

[B]

That gazpacho is the flop.

[E]

I'll be honest.

[G]

Yes.

[E]

The most popular one, the most famous one's chicken noodle, and it doesn't make the top 10.

[B]

Can we just pause for a second and just. This bitch said borsch.

[E]

That bitch over there said borsch.

[I]

Look at it.

[H]

Hey, I'm going to bring some in.

[E]

Oh, you're not.

[A]

Hey, none of us got fucking skunked. I don't have poison sumac neighborhood that makes.

[H]

I go by myself once a year.

[C]

That's orphan food. Yeah.

[A]

That's some olive.

[E]

That's twist. Max.

[F]

Tomorrow.

[E]

Tomorrow.

[H]

So good. Shock a lot. Ukrainian village. If you're in Chicago, go get there.

[A]

After a long day of cooking.

[C]

Pockets.

[B]

So good menudo.

[E]

I don't want tripe.

[G]

No.

[H]

What is tripe? I've seen it, and I don't understand how.

[E]

Stomach. It's the lining.

[I]

Yeah.

[E]

Get the trip innards.

[H]

I agree with TJ on pozzole. That's a good suit.

[I]

Yeah.

[D]

There's a really good one in Wicker Park.

[A]

Your credibility's in the super polished.

[B]

Yeah, you are. You know what? You don't want to hurt soup's feeling.

[E]

You want her soup for being a.

[B]

Little bit of a little baby about rules.

[H]

What's gross?

[E]

You're doing participation trophies with soups.

[H]

What's wrong with this?

[A]

Are you expecting a text from Borscht thanking.

[B]

Okay, so here's my take. And this might sound stupid, but, like that soup. If you're going to a Mexican restaurant, just give me the fucking tacos and burritos. Same with sweet and sour soup. If I'm going to a Chinese restaurant, I just want the.

[H]

On a cold, snowy day in Chicago, you don't want a nice, spicy, meaty.

[B]

No.

[H]

Delicious, wet.

[B]

There are certain. There are certain. There's our soup.

[E]

Oh.

[B]

There are certain places that you go, like certain cuisines you eat. You're just like, I'm going for this. I'm not going for the soup.

[E]

Yeah. I'm not going to Mexico for the soups.

[F]

Right.

[B]

I'm not going to a Chinese restaurant for the soup.

[H]

You don't. I'm not going to chicken tortilla soup.

[B]

Miso soup on a cold day.

[C]

What about soup Last.

[E]

I do like Miso. Soup.

[B]

Pft.

[D]

Dropsuit.

[C]

Cocktails. Cocktails. Entree, then soup.

[E]

No, I can't do soup last.

[H]

I can't. I can't drink with soup.

[A]

It's almost like ending a meal with, like, a hot tea.

[C]

Yeah, that's what the dudes. Dude. I was dining with, like, coxswains last night.

[B]

What?

[E]

Cox.

[C]

Like, former coxswains.

[E]

What little guys? The.

[B]

The little guys.

[D]

Star.

[E]

There's a single star.

[C]

Rowers.

[B]

No, but those aren't rowers. Those are the guys that yell at the rowers. They're the little guy.

[E]

They're the captains.

[A]

Are they? Are they?

[E]

Who's the guy that just is the. Is the main.

[C]

I was.

[B]

No, no, no. I was with cox is who sits at the end of the boat. He's usually really short, and he just yells at them. Row.

[H]

Yeah. They're built like a jockey.

[B]

Yeah. They don't do anything.

[E]

That guy, you had dinner with him.

[B]

Look how tiny he is. He's so tiny. They're always tiny.

[C]

These guys were Ivy League coxswains.

[B]

Yeah, but that's basically like, I wasn't genetically good enough to run, so.

[E]

The best coxswains, though.

[C]

Yeah, you were.

[A]

Were they ralphed up as well?

[C]

They were. Everyone was in Ralph. My server hunted fox for Dartmouth.

[B]

Are you going to start ralphing?

[C]

It doesn't work.

[A]

Why not? I think.

[E]

I think it works beautifully.

[B]

You look awesome.

[C]

Kind of lame.

[B]

You have a Ralph body.

[E]

Yeah.

[H]

Yep.

[E]

You're asking me?

[B]

You put me in Ralph, and Ralph is going out of business.

[C]

Oh, like, if you showed up in that.

[E]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ralph appreciates you, right?

[C]

That wouldn't quite work.

[B]

No.

[C]

Yeah. But they had dinner. Is all we have.

[B]

Did you guys. He's gone. Stephen Che. He's gone. We've lost him.

[A]

Yeah. Super Bowl.

[B]

Yeah. It's got to get out there.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Did you guys.

[E]

He doesn't get enough hate for his vacation.

[A]

He takes a lot.

[B]

Okay, did you guys see the clip from Wake Up Barstool today? Because I hope you didn't. So I could.

[E]

I did not know.

[B]

All right, so the question was, are the Patriots likable? And we were basically like, drake Mace seems likable. Mike Vrabel's likable. Who do you think Stephen Shea said is very likable?

[C]

Matt Collins, Stefan Diggs.

[E]

Yes.

[C]

No, he did.

[B]

And we just sat there. We're like, what? And he's like, what? He's very likable.

[A]

And then his defense was like, that incident happened in 2025.

[B]

Yeah, a month ago. But there's Also other stuff.

[C]

Yeah, there's some rotten.

[B]

Do you remember the Vikings video of the locker room when they're like, who would you let date your daughter? And everyone's like, I don't know. But definitely not Stefan Diggs. Literally every single guy.

[E]

Anybody but Diggs.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

He had, like, two chicks in his hotel at the same time.

[B]

That's the guy.

[E]

He had. He had six kids last year.

[B]

Something like that.

[A]

Well, did you see him on Family Feud?

[E]

No. 1.

[A]

His hint was leave it blank, and he buzzed and said N.

[B]

And he also, like, I feel like we didn't end well in Buffalo. No, Minnesota.

[A]

What was the video with the drugs he does.

[B]

He didn't really have. He just was like, what?

[F]

He seems fine.

[B]

Yeah. I think he. I think he was confused, maybe likability with name recognition.

[A]

He was like, well, he's a big name.

[E]

Just name him.

[B]

Yeah.

[G]

So he doubled down.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Is the clip.

[E]

But I think Stephen just likes you. If you can be a good NFL football.

[B]

No, he just doesn't have any knowledge of anything that help happens outside of.

[A]

The way off the field. Issues don't exist.

[E]

His. His images of athletes don't take damage either, ever. Damage just doesn't exist to him.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Unless they play poorly.

[B]

Yes.

[E]

That's damage.

[A]

That's big, that guy.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

And that guy's a bum.

[G]

Kate, anything you'd want to say to Stephen if you were here right now?

[H]

Great choice, Stephen. That sounds.

[A]

But it was like immediate. It was like bang, bang.

[B]

Yeah. It was like, so, so quickly. I got a challenge for you.

[E]

Our first show in San Francisco is Monday. He left on Tuesday morning.

[C]

Yeah.

[I]

Yeah.

[E]

Okay.

[B]

I saw your C.J. stroud on anus. Great, incredible clip.

[C]

Oh, my. Yeah.

[B]

I have an impossible challenge for you.

[F]

What do you got?

[B]

Do the same for Geno Smith.

[C]

I can.

[B]

You can.

[C]

He's in a different galaxy.

[B]

Geno Smith, how good he is, you know? Smith got traded to the Raiders from the Seahawks. The Seahawks immediately made the super bowl, and the Raiders are the worst team in football. And the only common denominator is Geno Smith.

[C]

When you look at him as a dk, I guess as a man, as an athlete, overall, you can't compare him to other NFL players.

[B]

He's a bum.

[C]

Remember him at wvu? Was he a guy? When he was a guy?

[A]

He was.

[J]

I forgot.

[A]

I forgot he had a game with eight touchdowns.

[B]

I forgot about West Virginia.

[C]

You have to remember, like, how good he is and how hard it is to succeed. I can.

[B]

It'd be so sick. To just be such an awesome athlete. Athlete like that. Like, we have DeAndre Hopkins on tomorrow's PMT. And he. He. He was on Clemson basketball. He was just the best basketball player in his state.

[C]

That's sick.

[B]

But he's like, no football.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[F]

No, but he played.

[B]

He played. He was like. He got like 10 minutes in his career. Oh, I didn't know that Dabo was like, you got to stop doing this. But he was playing on the Clemson basketball team while also playing on the football team.

[A]

Got beat by Geno Smith.

[B]

Yeah. And he said that he wanted to play soccer, but his dad wouldn't let him or is someone in his life. His mom wouldn't let him. He wanted to be a goalie. He would have been an awesome goalie.

[A]

He would have won a World Cup.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. But to just be that good of an athlete where you can be like, oh, yeah, the sport I'm known for. Don't forget in high school, I was the best in my state in two other.

[C]

Right. And that's my argument.

[B]

Yeah. No, you're right.

[C]

You're criticize their NFL performances, but you can't. Like, I think people look at them as actual scrubs.

[B]

I do.

[C]

Like, even, like, Sam Darnold doesn't really have the respect he deserves.

[B]

No, that's true.

[A]

People don't believe in redemption.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

They're stuck at their lowest points.

[B]

They just take whatever the. Yeah, we're just stuck. We have like a freeze frame of someone. We're like, that guy's that forever.

[A]

You're the monographic.

[B]

It's actually why I'm one of the worst gamblers of all time.

[E]

Because you can't divorce yourself from the earlier feelings. Yeah.

[B]

You see. So you see a team suck, and you're like, they suck forever.

[A]

Indiana.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Or you see a team like, I. Oh. Oh, fuck. God damn.

[E]

We were rolling.

[H]

I was about to say something so sporty.

[B]

God damn it. We're just. Does sound work.

[D]

No.

[B]

We're back.

[E]

Oh, we're back.

[B]

We were rolling. Now we're not anymore.

[C]

We have a PowerPoint today.

[B]

Oh, maybe Oregon was the other one. When Oregon had Helfrick.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

And I was like, but Oregon's supposed to score points all the time.

[E]

You never adjusted from that?

[B]

No.

[E]

Like, Virginia basketball. Have you adjusted to that?

[B]

Yeah. No. They score.

[E]

Yeah, that's what I know it me up. Yeah.

[B]

Wisconsin basketball.

[E]

Yeah. I haven't adjusted to any of that. I still won't watch a Virginia basketball game because I don't want to watch 43 to 41. But they don't play like that. Yeah, they don't play like that at all. But we're stupid and dumb.

[B]

We do have a PowerPoint today, and we think that maybe he didn't do it.

[E]

So there's some controversy here.

[B]

No way.

[E]

According to tj. You all know tj, by the way.

[B]

I pumped up Chef Donnie. He's good.

[A]

Oh, was he down?

[B]

I don't know.

[E]

He shouldn't be down.

[B]

I texted him last night, and I was just like, listen, dude, he's our number one boy.

[A]

He worked on stuff after the show. He was perfect, okay?

[E]

He's. He's the best boy.

[B]

I said. I said. I said, chef Donnie, you couldn't be more different than Mincy. I hate Mincy. I love you. You actually have worth and bringing money, unlike him. Fair now. It's fair, right?

[E]

Very.

[C]

Yes.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

He said, I appreciate that.

[A]

That's quite nice.

[E]

Nice to hear. All right.

[B]

What were you gonna say?

[E]

According to TJ Yak producer yesterday, Mincy was walking up to producers behind the scenes and not asking for help, but, like, hinting around at sentences that would create an opportunity for them to help him correct tj.

[D]

I saw him walk up to Quigs and he was like, yeah, you know, so I got this. I got this Yak PowerPoint tomorrow. I've just been, you know, trying to Google, like, how to do a PowerPoint presentation. I don't know if you know anything about that.

[E]

Mm, yeah.

[D]

Trying to insinuate Quicks to offer him help.

[E]

Yep. So he did that. And now we believe Tate has uncovered that he was on the phone with a His producer back in Louisiana. Which, by the way, I think. I think him getting help from a non barstool person is. Is more fair than him getting, like, quicks.

[B]

All I'm saying is if he. If his producer created the PowerPoint, I will throw the PowerPoint out.

[A]

The one caveat was you have to make it.

[B]

And we will. And I will make a pledge to everyone in this company. Not a single person will ever step foot on a cruise ship again.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Oh, wow.

[F]

Wow.

[B]

A ban cruise. We will update everyone's contract. If you go on a cruise ship, you're fired.

[A]

Harsh, but fair.

[E]

What have you told Shay? Seems like he probably would be a.

[B]

Cruise guy for sure.

[E]

What are your fair.

[C]

If he's hearing this right now and he didn't do it, what should his move be?

[B]

Do it.

[C]

Do it now.

[B]

Do it. Yeah, do it asap.

[E]

But he oddly doesn't listen to the show. He Just sits up there waiting for the call.

[C]

Yeah. That is the guy.

[A]

No.

[G]

No way.

[E]

Oh, no.

[G]

Least shocking thing of all time.

[B]

If the guy walked him through it and Mincy created it, I'll accept it. If the guy created it and sent it to Mincy, well, that's what he's gonna say. We need to look through his email.

[G]

And like, he. He was already asking for help. I imagine before he even had PowerPoint downloaded to his laptop, he didn't even try.

[A]

This was the one thing he had to do all day yesterday.

[E]

And yet today, I do fear that we're. We're bogging down on him doing it, which is good. But let's also consider the fact he is pitching a cruise. That the idea was somebody else's.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

The idea was either wanton Dons or Eddie's or something. It's Mercury.

[C]

Is this going to be funny?

[D]

No.

[E]

No. So what are we going to be, a chore? I don't know.

[C]

What is our plan?

[A]

I think. I think Mintz overheard somebody bring up Barstool Cruise, and then he saw Donnie doing a presentation, so he had the idea to take those two ideas.

[G]

What benefits do you think he'll say this will have for Barstool?

[B]

None.

[E]

No, he'll say some. He'll say it'll grow our brands or something like that. The fans will get, I don't know.

[B]

Water slide.

[A]

The thing is, like, we would go.

[B]

There'S a water slide. He'll do.

[A]

We would go and, you know, do stand up, do live yaks, do other stuff. Dozen. What would he do?

[B]

Water slide. That's actually the. That's actually how we'll know if he did it or not, is if there's a water slide.

[D]

Slide.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

You say water slide. What if there's a lazy river on the ship?

[B]

That's true.

[E]

What if all of this is just a ploy to get back to a lazy river?

[A]

I think all roads lead to lazy river.

[E]

I agree.

[B]

I have another option that he can take when he comes in here. Should we get him in here?

[E]

I'll go do it.

[H]

Curious.

[B]

Oh, man.

[G]

Him having to stay in a lazy river for, like, a day would be pretty funny if the rest of us are just.

[A]

But the thing is.

[H]

No, just.

[G]

Just the idea, like, maybe someone's not even filming him. You just check on him every. Every four hours.

[H]

No one's allowed to acknowledge him on the cruise. He's like a ghost.

[I]

We'll see.

[A]

We'll know by the first slide if he made this.

[E]

Yeah.

[H]

Yeah.

[B]

There's a buzz in the office today. Three hours coming.

[A]

I thought that was like some of the best content of last year. It was fun.

[C]

Yeah.

[H]

I'm excited to watch.

[C]

I hope we just get some pure.

[B]

Just bad basketball. Yeah.

[F]

I.

[B]

By the way, I'll just say this because I. I don't think it's spoiling anything.

[E]

The.

[B]

Not a twist, but Danny and KB are embedded with the refs this year. They're going to be refs.

[G]

I wonder which one of us they're going to take it out on.

[B]

They can make calls. Okay.

[A]

Yeah, you're.

[C]

Any advice? I don't really know.

[E]

Make every files are.

[B]

Make every call.

[C]

Okay.

[G]

I think we're looking for certain things while the real refs are looking for other things.

[C]

I'm more. I'm gonna like police conduct.

[B]

Okay.

[G]

I like that.

[B]

I hate wine. You have to hit someone with a text guy.

[F]

I don't.

[C]

I don't like whining.

[B]

Just wait. Wait for a blowout and then hit someone.

[A]

Would you penalize somebody for being a.

[C]

I don't like that either.

[B]

Show me your technical.

[C]

Oh, it's got to be like the T sign.

[B]

Yeah, but there's certain ways I don't like it.

[C]

It was weak. Can I get the right gesture?

[B]

It is. It's like that, but I've also seen it. And I wouldn't. The sassy way. I've seen that before.

[G]

Just the lowercase T. Yeah, do it.

[H]

Hello, little fingers.

[A]

Benjamin.

[H]

Look at this fine gentleman.

[B]

Ben.

[C]

Greeting.

[B]

Come on, sit in. Get in here. Before you do that, a quick tax act read each new year seems to come with message. With the message that who we are isn't enough. That we're supposed to begin again as someone new. But what if you didn't have to rewrite yourself to grow? What if real changes was already happening quietly, naturally, from within? That's exactly what.

[E]

Oh, boy.

[A]

Steve's in the air.

[E]

Be a pro. Oh, boy. All right, here we go. Oh, boy. Boy, oh, boy.

[C]

Oh.

[B]

Oh, boy.

[A]

He must have been in a hurry to get out of here.

[E]

Get to the next sentence though. He gets back on point.

[B]

Let's call him. See? Hopefully he's not in the air yet. Wow, it's hard to be a pro in these situations, Brandon.

[E]

It really is. And.

[B]

Oh, what happened the next. The next line is, that's exactly what neutrophil believes.

[D]

Come on.

[B]

He just put a neutrophil ad inside of Tax act.

[D]

I'm doing it.

[B]

Sure you do it.

[D]

[F]

Tax Act.

[B]

I'm texting him right now. I'm saying, hey, Stephen, quick question.

[I]

What the.

[E]

Yep, that's a good question, too.

[B]

All right, Miny, how we doing? I would like, before you start, to just say a couple things. One, you're about to give us a presentation on why we should get in the cruise business, Correct?

[F]

Correct.

[B]

Okay, so first thing I want to say, if we find out you didn't do this presentation, every single person who works here is never allowed on a cruise ever again.

[F]

Okay. I will say I worked with my editor. That helps. And I was on a Zoom call with him and we did it together.

[B]

What does that mean? Did you create the PowerPoint?

[F]

He, like, we went over all the ideas together, but he helped create the PowerPoint.

[B]

Did you create the PowerPoint?

[F]

So I was talking with all the ideas, but he helped edit it.

[E]

He was putting it into a PowerPoint. He emailed it to you.

[C]

Did you write.

[B]

Right, correct.

[F]

Yes. I went through all the ideas. I brainstormed with the company. Went through, like, y'. All. Y' all see, like, I did all the creative stuff, but he created the power. Okay, so if that's of Nolan Void, then I'm being transparent.

[B]

You're dismissed. Go create the PowerPoint guy.

[I]

Got it.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

By the end of the show today.

[F]

Transparency.

[B]

Great. Great job on the transparency. Go create it.

[C]

Your. Your work.

[B]

You have to create the PowerPoint.

[E]

You look nice.

[B]

You look great. You should wait. Oh, do you want to hear option two or question two?

[F]

Yes.

[B]

Because actually question two would get you out of creating the PowerPoint.

[E]

I will.

[B]

Right now. You don't even have to show us the PowerPoint. I will say yes to everything that you're proposing under one condition.

[F]

What's that condition?

[B]

Would you like to hear the condition?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

When we get on the cruise, you.

[A]

Have to jump off.

[F]

Okay. Is this when it's full or like, is it standing still at the dock or is it.

[A]

No.

[B]

Middle of the ocean?

[F]

Okay. What are the chances I could survive? I have no idea if I can survive that. I'll do. I. I'll do it over.

[A]

Over making a PowerPoint.

[F]

No, no, no, no. Okay. I'll go get to work on that.

[B]

Okay, Sounds good. Damn, he really wants this.

[I]

Yeah.

[F]

The one. The one that's worked on is, like, probably. It's pretty buttoned up.

[B]

Yeah. I'm pretty sure when you. If you jump off a cruise boat.

[A]

You'D like your dad.

[B]

Death.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

Okay, well, I don't want to die.

[E]

Okay.

[B]

All right. I don't want you to die either.

[A]

I'm going to work in the PowerPoint from scratch.

[G]

Do you have PowerPoint on your laptop?

[B]

You have basically one hour to get this done.

[F]

Okay.

[B]

All right. Someone can come. Someone can show you, like, can open up PowerPoint for you. But then you got to do it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You're allowed to have someone open it for you.

[E]

Yeah.

[G]

Like, the technical side.

[B]

Then you just write it and you do the PowerPoint.

[E]

May I say something?

[B]

Yeah, please. He was very honest.

[E]

His idea, his. His collaboration on there was. He said the words.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

And the other person took the words, typed them, and put them into the PowerPoint.

[B]

And if that was harsh to me, first of all, I don't care. Second of all, the whole point is I want to see him create a power that was.

[A]

That was like.

[E]

That was.

[B]

That thing would be so buttoned up and perfect appeal. Yeah.

[D]

I'm looking at it.

[C]

It's too good.

[B]

It's too good, right?

[D]

It looks like a very, like, concise.

[B]

Yeah, no, I don't want that.

[H]

We don't wish I had, like, a see. I'd like to see what he's doing right now.

[D]

Should we make him do it on Google Slides and we watch him edit it live?

[C]

I don't like this.

[H]

I just like, is he going up to other people right now trying to wait?

[C]

I think it would be funnier to watch him make it.

[I]

I agree.

[B]

Okay.

[E]

This editor of his has done 10 times the work for Barstool that he has.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[A]

Who's the guy?

[E]

I don't. Whoever it is has done so. Has done work for. All the work mens. Has presented ever has come from this guy.

[A]

I think it's a different guy.

[E]

I don't think we paid him a dime.

[C]

Outsourcing like Filipino labor.

[J]

The kids.

[E]

Oh, the laptop's coming out.

[B]

Okay. No, he's got this.

[H]

He's doing it himself for sure.

[B]

It's always charging.

[D]

So cleaned up Today it's an 11 slide. PowerPoint.

[B]

Let's get Tate. Let's get Tate.

[D]

Well, Tate's got to be looking at him right now.

[B]

No, I know Tate. Tate's got to follow him. And then take. And sit in Steven's chair when. When Mincy comes back.

[A]

Donnie did the around the office live office hours today. And I think Mintz was trying to say the Widespread Panic concert was actually a ploy to market for barstool or to get.

[B]

There's always.

[E]

He's taking to the people.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

I think I'm watching. I'm watching as Deutsch builds Battle Beers.

[A]

Oh, is he doing.

[C]

He is building something.

[E]

Oh, you're right.

[B]

This is. This is Picasso.

[C]

Oh, man.

[B]

Okay.

[E]

When you were talking about our collection of dudes yesterday, about how it sets us apart, we just got Deutsch and all that. They're all here today. And we can line them all up and look at them.

[A]

Yeah, just look.

[C]

They all are here.

[H]

Yeah, Oldies here, too.

[A]

We could just have him stand still in the tunnel and just have. Walk down and walk away.

[B]

Oh, there he is. Hey, what's up, Tate? Tate, follow Mincy and take notes because he's got to create the PowerPoint. He's coming back in, so you can sit in Steven's chair while he. While he gives it to us. On it. All right, see ya. Hey, Rony, our guy is here.

[H]

I'm just gonna fist bump you. I'm not getting up. Being lazy. Hello. Good to see you.

[I]

What's going. I was just due to Minty. He just ignored us as we walked in.

[E]

We're like, he's got work to do.

[B]

He's got work. He's. He's got an idea. Barstool combined with cruises. And I told him he can. I will hear his idea if he creates a PowerPoint and presents it to us. I gave him this prompt yesterday. He came in and I said, did you create the PowerPoint? He basically, like, was. I said the words, and then someone else created for me. So I said, go right now. Create the PowerPoint and come back.

[I]

So he's frazzled.

[B]

He's got. He's got. He has an hour to create a PowerPoint.

[I]

Some busy work. Yes. How many slides do we think is controversial?

[G]

The editing was speaking.

[B]

Yeah, he was just speaking to someone on the phone as they created a PowerPoint for him.

[C]

Can we get him in a room and have him filmed without his knowledge?

[B]

Well, Tate's with him right now.

[G]

Can we watch it be edited live, TJ or.

[B]

Oh, yeah, put him in a studio.

[C]

I want to see what he would do.

[G]

Just types out the. And then there's like a five.

[B]

Text him and tell him what studio is the best.

[D]

Say, do you want to do that? Or do you want to have him do, like, a Google Doc that we could watch him?

[G]

Probably the Google Doc.

[D]

Literally watch.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

Yeah, take the.

[B]

All right, I'm going to tell him and Tate, and then we can put him in one of the studios, right?

[D]

Yeah, put him in. In mostly sports. Have him sit at the door.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

There's going to be no flare to this PowerPoint, right?

[F]

I.

[G]

12 point times.

[E]

I don't see how it becomes anything politically.

[A]

I don't think he's a transition guy.

[E]

I don't think he'll be able to save a file.

[A]

No.

[E]

An email. I don't think he can do it.

[C]

Save a file, anything.

[E]

I don't think he can do anything.

[I]

No star wiper or whatever.

[A]

No, no, no. If he changes the font, then I'm impressed. But I think the Times. New boy.

[B]

What's up, Roan?

[I]

I miss you guys. Like hell.

[B]

It's you, dude.

[I]

Like, damn crazy. So good to be out here.

[B]

Good to see you.

[I]

How it. The red shoelaces give such a nice pop to the boots.

[C]

Those are nice.

[B]

These boots are kind of uncomfortable. They're like. You know when you put on boots and you. You really feel like you're wearing boots. Yeah, like I'm just trudging around.

[E]

Heavy, huh?

[A]

I Googled them on commercial break on Wub.

[B]

Yeah, they were actually on the clearance rack at REI. They were, like, 75 bucks.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Swear to God.

[E]

REI.

[B]

They're not even my size. That's why they're 12 and a half.

[E]

I went to REI. Struggling, intimidated.

[I]

What are you doing around a clearance rack?

[C]

I did not like to hear that.

[B]

I bought them for the Bears playoff games because I went to the first one and just sneakers, and I couldn't feel my feet for, like, a week.

[A]

Oh, Taylor's disappointed.

[B]

Tate looks disappointed. Disappointed.

[E]

Tate's perpetually disappointed, though.

[B]

Yeah.

[H]

Yeah.

[E]

He's just got a disappointed face.

[B]

Ron, your Meek Phil video last night. Oh, boy, was that good.

[I]

I need to. I need to release. The people are mad that I didn't release all the unreleased files.

[B]

And I actually kind of side with those people because you put them through torture and they get no shot.

[A]

Are you protecting Phil?

[C]

It will.

[I]

So I got the word. I got the word. I'll tell you what happened. It was so Kelly Keys got sent in to get rage baited, and he was like, I can't. I can't do girls. I can't rage bait girls. And, Kate, you tell me if I'm right on this, but I was, like, meek. That's Actually sexist to be like, I can rage bait guys, but I'll treat like girls with like kitty.

[B]

Yeah, no, I. I would.

[H]

And also too, like, Kelly Keegs can take it.

[B]

I mean, yeah, he's like, put it on a quote card as well. Meek. Phil, I can't do girls.

[I]

I can't do girls. And so then we. Then we una. Right after that and he kind of was like, I'm up to the challenge. And he said some. She said like almost unspeakably nasty things.

[B]

I saw her tweeted. She was just like. He said I was worthless.

[I]

He overcorrected.

[H]

He overcorrected.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm gonna need you to kill yourself.

[B]

Here's a gun.

[E]

Really?

[I]

And it's like I wanted him to split the difference also. But with a video, word got around that he was trying to rage bait people. I said it was going to be a debate, but if you know you're going to get rage baited, you steel yourself against it and you kind of can just laugh it off. But if you think it's a debate.

[B]

When was this filmed?

[I]

Last week.

[B]

Have you noticed a change in Meek at all? Max is worried that he might have neutered him.

[I]

This further might have not neutered him. I don't think I have the capacity to neuter him, but I think it just made him. He's like realizing that his actions have consequences in real time.

[B]

That was Matt when Max. I didn't like that Max did the. Everyone in this room.

[I]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

But also like, everyone's like, ah. Like in this setting.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

Like I told Meek after when he was like, was, did I do something wrong? I was like, no. But you do understand in the gambling cave, you are the most annoying person.

[I]

Totally.

[B]

And he does get that.

[I]

And I think he's fighting against it subtly because he's going up to people being like, hey, like, do you really like that parlay that you put in? And stuff like that. He's like starting the conversation as opposed to being the one who just receives the con.

[B]

Because I do like Meek. But it is okay to say that he's is wildly annoying.

[I]

He does it on purpose.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

I know this is his first time reading his first time what he's been sewing, but this is his first time.

[B]

Yeah.

[I]

He never has reached.

[B]

This is a situation. Like in 10 years he's gonna write Max a letter being like, thank you for changing my life.

[I]

Yes. You really might. That might have been the seminal moment.

[A]

He was a reap victim in the cave.

[B]

He really Was that was an exchange where everyone lost his mattress. Max also felt bad after.

[I]

I'm surprised Max lets himself boil over to that extent because he's such a smart guy and might have been me.

[B]

And PFT at halftime being like, dude, he's walking all over.

[I]

Which is what I did. Is that Una situation. It's like, you're really gonna let him act like that?

[B]

Like, Max, this is your home, and he's just walking all over you.

[I]

Meek was like, on Beach House. How come everybody online rates you 10th out of all the 10 cast members?

[E]

O. Oh, I guess.

[I]

I mean, you're a relevant. Oh, man. He was on her ass.

[B]

It was. It was a great video.

[I]

I guess we got to put it out, though.

[C]

Yeah, she wants it out.

[B]

If she wants it out, then.

[E]

Yeah.

[I]

Well, she was just. She was like, did you take it out or did Meek take it out? And the answer lies in between. I think it was an editorial decision.

[B]

Yeah.

[I]

And. But she was like, if Meek took it out, I was gonna call him a for it.

[H]

Yeah, I got that. If she wants it out, you gotta put it out there.

[B]

It would actually be funny if we did, like, a yearly cuts where it's like, you're watching Meek Phil just destroy Una. And then it switches to Dante and Nicky smokes, debating abortion.

[E]

The cutting room floor.

[I]

I could bring him out here to rage bait you guys if you want.

[E]

Oh, we're good.

[B]

We get it every Sunday. Literally get it every. Every Sunday.

[E]

I get it Monday morning.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

I don't want to look at him.

[G]

Did anyone manage to offend him at all during the video?

[I]

Well, him and Clemmer raced.

[B]

Yeah, I saw that.

[I]

He bodied him, took it to a race. Yeah, he raced Clemmer. So I guess I don't know if that counts as offended.

[E]

What do you say? Raced? What do you mean? I didn't watch the video. I was going to watch it, but I didn't watch it.

[I]

It was like they had a foot race.

[E]

An actual foot.

[I]

It was like, you want to take this outside?

[B]

Yeah, it's a race. What's happening in there, tj?

[D]

I don't know. The Internet's in hell, by the way.

[B]

Oh, no. Are we cutting in and out ass? Oh, that sucks. Internet's in hell, Kyle.

[I]

Congratulations, dude.

[C]

A lot's been happening.

[I]

Your birth, your birthday.

[C]

My birthday?

[I]

Yes.

[C]

Yes.

[I]

Yeah.

[C]

Thank you, Ron.

[I]

I didn't get to wish you it over over the Internet, but I would have loved to.

[C]

You're always very kind.

[I]

Thank you.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, Miny Tate, just text me Mincy. His first move was to call back his editor.

[A]

No, you can't.

[D]

Yeah, he walked in here. He said, am I. I want to clarify if I'm allowed to call for help.

[B]

No.

[E]

Oh, wait. No, no, no. What. What if he has. Do I use.

[G]

Yeah, for, like, technical reasons.

[A]

Well, then he do any of it whatsoever.

[B]

I said that Tate could open PowerPoint for it.

[E]

Okay. All right.

[B]

Are we back, TJ, or.

[D]

No, no, my Internet's totally out now. Oh, oh, wait, no, it's about. It's, like, bumping in and out.

[E]

So what are people seeing? Anything? Nothing.

[H]

I've gotten some tweets saying that people can't hear us intermittently.

[A]

That's bad for a pod run, right now.

[B]

Do we got to hit a hard reboot?

[D]

I don't know.

[C]

Was that you?

[E]

What's that? Or you?

[I]

No, it was not me, baby.

[E]

Velociraptor.

[H]

Parrot sound.

[I]

That was not me. It had nothing to do with me. Kate. I said I called someone a. Do you think it Calling us a someone a is. Is negative to women?

[H]

I think that's originated. It was, like, supposed to be, but I feel like it's. It's been a thing for so long now that it's just kind of a blanket because I'll find myself saying it sometimes, too.

[E]

So you'll call somebody A. I. I.

[B]

Feel like I. I think it's funnier to call a woman a. Yeah.

[E]

You're a Wisconsin chancellor.

[B]

Yeah.

[H]

I don't mind calling somebody A. You're being a dick.

[B]

Yeah.

[I]

Right.

[H]

Dick.

[C]

Or a dickheads and are similar.

[H]

Yeah.

[C]

In hue.

[H]

Yeah.

[C]

Both pinkish. Yeah.

[B]

Explaining that, by the way, Brandon, to, like, people outside of barstool was always. I was at, like, a. A Christmas party, and someone asked me something about, like, oh, where are you going for, like, college football? And I was like, well, we can't go anywhere because I called the chancellor UW anti football, and they laughed, and I was like, but it's okay, because it was a woman. And they're like, what? Yeah, it's actually funnier.

[I]

That's funny.

[B]

Better.

[E]

Yeah.

[H]

Be weird if you called her A. I feel right. That wouldn't make sense.

[E]

Well, her leaving, and I think if.

[B]

You call a man a pussy, like a man of status a pussy, you are kind of being a little misogynistic, probably.

[E]

Her leaving means you won.

[B]

I.

[E]

Correct.

[B]

She left for an Ivy League school. I won, without a doubt.

[I]

Now, if you had called her aunt.

[B]

Well, if I had done it on Australian act.

[I]

Know that. And then that'd be back to funny.

[H]

Right?

[I]

And that circles. Right.

[B]

There we go.

[E]

We're trying.

[D]

There's just no audio now.

[B]

Charades.

[H]

Yeah. What's that? Hat game.

[C]

We.

[E]

A silent film.

[I]

Little chaplain.

[H]

Should we go black and white and just jazz hands?

[C]

Do you. Are you hip to Chaplin?

[B]

Are we doing the show, Chuck? Yeah.

[I]

I don't know. I don't know much about Chuck. I know that he entered a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest and came in third. But I think that that's the extent of the lore.

[C]

I'm talking about Charlie Chaplin, the man.

[I]

That's what I'm talking about.

[E]

Chuck and Charlie.

[C]

Are you saying he actually got third in his own look alike contest?

[B]

Are we back, tj? Out on the course, they're the PGA Tour's best players.

[A]

But in the arena, they're prime time.

[B]

In season two of TG, presented by.

[A]

SoFi is back with lights, cameras, action.

[B]

We're talking big moments, big personalities, big names in the stands all on the big screen. Big time matchups with shot clocks, camera.

[A]

Drops, timeouts, overtime and playoffs.

[B]

It's city versus city, squad versus squad. The sport just hits different under the lights. It's TGL, presented by SoFi. Keep up. It's golf. Tune in to every match.

[A]

Only on espn.

[I]

Why? What do you have on Chaplin?

[C]

Steffinson, I think he's like. I guess he's the most famous person of all time.

[E]

You've been on this for a while.

[B]

You have been, right?

[I]

But we put me on.

[C]

We haven't consumed his work. I saw a clip and it was a kind of enchanting.

[B]

These balloons have been fucking rocking your world for like a month.

[E]

But his fame.

[C]

His fame had an omen for the man. His fame had a death in my life.

[E]

All the people that made him famous are dead. His fame hasn't transcended at the same level as it was in 1977 when he died.

[I]

Are you saying just like he does his talent?

[B]

Hold up.

[I]

Why does your voice sound so soft?

[C]

I just got my throat worked on.

[B]

I can burp now.

[H]

Surgery.

[I]

Really?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. That's sick.

[I]

Can I hear one? Can I hear a burp?

[C]

No, I can't do it.

[B]

We need a cola.

[C]

But it's up. My voice. It's like tripping out of my mouth, gasping for air.

[I]

Is it.

[C]

Is that my third close? Is that for all of the positive side effects they told me aren't happening? It's just a negative.

[I]

You sound like you're a quarter of the way to rfk.

[J]

Just.

[C]

Yeah, I feel Like I'm dying.

[A]

How many people have gotten this procedure?

[C]

A fat like a thousand.

[A]

That's not a lot.

[C]

It's not enough. It's not enough.

[A]

Not nearly enough.

[C]

It's not enough.

[B]

That's very much in the experimental zone.

[H]

Yeah.

[I]

Just to burp. Just to be able to burp.

[C]

And I. I did abs. I had some last night.

[B]

You had some burps and it.

[C]

Yeah, and it was nice. Like, I. I got to finally have, like, a real meal with drinks.

[G]

You're choking up.

[C]

First time in my life.

[I]

That is the dream.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You choked up about this meal.

[I]

Did it hit like that?

[C]

Revolutionary.

[I]

Was it nice?

[C]

It was so nice. I was eating with coxswains.

[E]

The.

[I]

The rowing.

[C]

A lot of former coxswains.

[I]

I heard that coxswains have to know how to row at the same level as the rest.

[C]

So good at rowing.

[I]

They're still good at rowing. They have to be in the same sh.

[J]

Shape.

[I]

It's not like they could just. But they're all short, skinny and, like, short.

[B]

They are short.

[I]

But it's like they're saying just, I can't.

[C]

Short guys can't dine.

[B]

No, I'm saying can't find dine. You keep saying coxswains. Like, it's like, incredible. I would rather be with like a coxswains.

[C]

Former coxswains are like wealthy, old money guys.

[B]

I don't think it was coxswains you were having dinner with.

[I]

Were they jockeys?

[C]

What were they then?

[B]

I don't know.

[E]

Well, how would you know?

[B]

The way you keep saying coxswains. Like, they're not. I don't think coxswains are like.

[C]

They had like, rowing emblems on their.

[H]

Travel in a group.

[B]

Cricket, maybe.

[E]

How'd you end up with these? Coxswain?

[B]

Wait, but you also were Ralph Lauren.

[E]

Were. Were they.

[A]

Were they just wearing it?

[E]

Polo Coxins would be in Ralph Lauren, baby.

[H]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Do coxin shop at Ralph Lauren.

[C]

I think coxson are short plot twist.

[E]

I think rowers.

[B]

I'm sorry, I just. So.

[C]

I don't think it was short guys.

[B]

I don't think they can row.

[A]

I didn't know short people did the whole restaurant thing.

[B]

Huh?

[I]

Jesus. I know. Coxswains have to learn how to row, though. I know. They have to do the same work rest of the team. They can't just be like.

[B]

Like a really light, skinny respect on them.

[E]

They got to bark out orders. Right. And if they don't know how to row, they don't. They don't know what orders to bark out.

[H]

And I think the team would resent them. Right. If they got to just sit there the whole time.

[E]

Oh, I bet there's some swing index on the team.

[B]

I show rowers are like basically the best athletes ever. Like, have you ever tried to row?

[E]

Thick thighs.

[B]

It's really hard.

[C]

That's a good argument.

[E]

Thick thighs. Yeah.

[B]

Like they're. They're just all.

[E]

All.

[B]

They're like swimmers but harder.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Because they do. They have the same body type as swimmers.

[A]

We have our drier swimmers.

[B]

They're drier swimmers and it's more difficult.

[E]

Ponticio is a rower.

[B]

Like, have you ever tried to get a rowing machine and row a thousand a thou? Like 1k? It will kill you.

[H]

Oh, how fast they go. And what's the max?

[E]

Oh, they go fast as.

[C]

It doesn't look sweet.

[B]

It doesn't look sweet, but it's like. It's an insane workout.

[C]

Oh, it is.

[B]

This is the whole box.

[I]

Are there any regattas on the river out here? Maybe we get out to a regatta.

[C]

A nice place.

[H]

Philly. That's a party.

[I]

Yeah. That's like a high profile regatta.

[H]

Yeah.

[I]

The dad veil.

[B]

Ivy's Ivy League schools are like big.

[I]

Rowers and boathouse rows. Right?

[B]

Yeah. I feel like every Ivy's on a. On a river boat. Yeah. They do it up in Columbia.

[H]

Columbia, right.

[I]

Harvard has a good one.

[C]

Who's the best rower in college, Individual or team? What's he looking like?

[B]

I also feel like Stanford might be dominant rowing.

[C]

Cal, they're great.

[I]

Yeah. Yeah. They feel like it's a money sport. It's got to be a money sport. All the good rowers from my high school could. Could like guarantee themselves an IV scholarship.

[B]

And they were beast athletes. Right.

[C]

You had rowing. Rowing.

[I]

We had a. We had. No, we had like an elite rowing program.

[H]

That's what Lori Laughlin did. Right. She pretended her kids were great rowers.

[B]

That's right.

[H]

It was rowing.

[B]

I still don't think she did anything wrong.

[E]

She's just trying to get her kid ahead.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Couldn't hold.

[C]

Just.

[A]

Couldn't she have just paid for her collar?

[B]

Probably. But that whole documentary was like. I feel like they're going after the wrong thing here.

[A]

Her daughter ended up with a Lordy all's right.

[H]

Yeah.

[I]

I feel like par.

[A]

Par daughter dates Jacob a Lordy.

[I]

Really?

[C]

Wait, what?

[F]

I thought.

[B]

I thought that was an award that she won.

[I]

No.

[B]

Yeah, it is an alordy alls right.

[H]

Have you seen them together?

[B]

That is like a. That's. That's something you win for writing A really awesome book.

[I]

I would.

[C]

Yeah, that's what it sounds.

[I]

I think that the parents of nepotism babies are doing nothing wrong in the same way, like an Asian tiger mom is doing nothing wrong. They just want a better life for their kid.

[B]

Yeah. Like, no one's get, like, I don't care that, like, Kurt Signetti is the definition of a Nepo baby.

[I]

He is.

[B]

Even his dad was a coach.

[D]

Was he?

[B]

Yeah. But it's funny to claim him as a neighbor.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

62. Like, this guy got everything handed to him.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

King Nepo babies.

[H]

Do you guys watch that Garth Brooks documentary?

[E]

Yeah, the one you told me to watch. Yeah.

[H]

He didn't want his daughters to become Nepo babies, so every summer, he made them build, like, a real size engineered industrial bridge across his property.

[E]

He made them do manual labor.

[H]

He made them, like, build a real ass bridge.

[A]

It doesn't change the fact that they're Nepo baby.

[H]

I know, man.

[E]

He bought a train car and cut it in half to make a bridge on his property and made his daughters do it so they had to work for something.

[A]

Isn't, like, the biggest reason you work hard, Brandon, to give a good life to.

[E]

Yeah.

[I]

Yeah.

[E]

My kids to.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, it does bum me out that, like, this isn't really a Nepo baby industry that we're in.

[E]

It's gonna be. Wait till Tommy gets 18.

[I]

What about Mike Go.

[B]

Yeah. Although he. He grinded, he did get, obviously, help. And he's open about it. I think it's that buck or. But I think it's the guys that are like. They're like, yeah, I got. I got. That most people don't get yet, but.

[E]

I agree with you.

[B]

Like, if I could help my kids get a better life, I would do it in a heartbeat.

[E]

The Terry family, that was a Lori Laughlin thing.

[B]

I was like, she's not the villain here. It's the fact that colleges are so hard to get into that you have to get to this point.

[I]

And the best jobs are, like, a job in, like, acting or, like, God forbid, someone live a regular, like. Like a hard office job life. Like, that's hard. That's way harder than working at bar stool. Cool.

[B]

Nick Reiner, fun Nepo boss. Oh, my God. Too soon. Nick Reiner, Nepo baby.

[E]

Yes.

[I]

Thank you.

[B]

Do a whole rant about, yeah, this is why Nepo babies are bad, actually a Nepo.

[E]

All right.

[A]

He's copying and pasting.

[E]

He's copying and pasting.

[A]

He just can't do it.

[B]

He's physically cannot do This a lot.

[H]

Of hand motion going on here.

[B]

Tj. Are we good now?

[D]

Seems like it tech is saying it's a.

[E]

It's.

[D]

It's a bigger than Internet thing.

[A]

Well that's under the fucking bigger than Internet in general.

[D]

Internet is struggling. I don't know cloud players what they.

[B]

Kept do we needed to email everyone tell them to get off wi fi.

[D]

Sure. The encoder is receiving bad information.

[A]

The encoder.

[B]

But are we good right now?

[D]

Seems like it.

[I]

It's gone.

[B]

By the way, Ron, I know every time you come on it's just basically like, hey, this thing you did was awesome. But the rant you had about about taking care of your twins was so funny.

[I]

I didn't mean that to come off as complaining.

[B]

No, I don't think it did. It was more just like. It's so reality.

[I]

So all encompassing.

[B]

Yeah. But also it's like salmon on the floor.

[I]

Greatest, greatest joy of my life. But it is that they're just pass dude.

[H]

Huh?

[C]

Twin babies like you. That's.

[H]

That's a whole other level.

[E]

So.

[C]

Double the double. Like the worst burden everyone has.

[B]

Yeah.

[I]

Yeah. I mean it's not the worst burden though, Kate.

[F]

Oh.

[H]

Because it's two things at the exact same time, right?

[I]

Yes. It's the exact same time.

[C]

From a labor standpoint. From a workload.

[I]

Yeah.

[C]

We're mostly the blessing.

[A]

Did you always want more than one kid, though?

[I]

Yes.

[A]

So there.

[I]

And they came. They came a month early. So my wife was pregnant for eight months. So she averaged four months of baby for pregnancy.

[A]

She's very lucky.

[I]

Lucky, right. Yeah. Yeah. Four months a baby.

[D]

Yeah.

[I]

That's lucky.

[B]

Oh, that's easy.

[J]

Yeah.

[B]

That's.

[I]

You complaining for right Tell.

[F]

That's it.

[H]

I mean, what a lazy bone.

[I]

27 months for most times. If you want to cheat. She really did. She just jumped on the fast pass. But yeah, it is so fun. But. But anytime you always. You have to do it alone. Especially with the dog. The dog definitely throws a wrench into it.

[B]

Did you ever think about naming your kids Adam Second and Adam iii?

[I]

I did.

[B]

I wanted that would have been so badly.

[I]

But I just don't want them to know which one came first.

[B]

Do you think that anyone does that with twins?

[A]

Gives them the same name?

[B]

Yeah, but no, with second and third.

[I]

George Foreman.

[B]

Yeah, but those were those twins. He didn't call his kids George.

[E]

He had a bunch of kids. There might have been some twins in there.

[C]

You want to steal them with Donnie's.

[B]

What?

[J]

No.

[B]

What?

[C]

Donnie said something was as easy as cooking on a George Floyd grill.

[A]

It's in doing the most. Coming out. He said George Floyd Grill.

[I]

Which Donnie Chef, I know, I've been watching, but I just wanted to make sure.

[B]

Please tell me. Please tell me he didn't. Did he have a George Foreman grill?

[A]

No.

[J]

Oh.

[B]

Because I like him cooking on a George Foreman grill and calling it a George Floyd grill and then pressing down with no.

[F]

We were doing something.

[B]

Like, you just got to get both sides.

[J]

Oh, my God.

[G]

Johnny was downtown with George Foreman.

[B]

What's up, Titus?

[D]

I got Tate on the phone.

[B]

Okay. Yeah.

[D]

Question.

[B]

Yeah, go ahead.

[F]

Hey, just a quick rules question here, Mincy. So Mincy collabed on this with the company that had him down in Mexico, and they gave him a lot of these ideas. He wants to know can he include those ideas Ideas or only the ideas that he came up with?

[B]

He can include those ideas, but he has to put them on a slide, being like, not my ideas.

[F]

Okay. So he's just got he so like, kind of label. Like, he has a Nicky Smokes and Annika host a singles night. That was the company in Mexico. Just label that as such.

[B]

Label it. And he has to expand on it.

[E]

Okay.

[B]

So he has to add, like, a sentence being like. And this is how I would, you know, think about it. Yep.

[F]

Understood.

[I]

All right, bye.

[B]

They. Titus Miny came in and cop to it right away that he didn't make the slide show. So we then sent him off to make it.

[F]

And I.

[J]

If I'm understanding this correctly, that is a live.

[B]

Yes.

[J]

Look at his screen.

[I]

Didn't Nicky Smokes and Anaka adjust to a singles night in Philly?

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

Did they.

[I]

So that company didn't come up with that. Barstool came up with that.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Who's this?

[B]

Mincy's a big. Like, if he hears an idea floating in the wind, he's like, yeah, that's my idea.

[I]

I thought of that.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, man.

[I]

Why is he wearing a suit? And then I don't have to ask why you're wearing a suit. You just look so damn good in it.

[J]

BBA Year two for the presentation.

[G]

They're sitting close.

[H]

All right.

[E]

That's a small couch.

[I]

Big enough to nap on, though.

[E]

Big enough to basically sleep on. Yeah. Not even nap anymore. I was three and a half hours.

[A]

You're getting, remember?

[E]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

On that little thing.

[E]

Deep, deep into it. Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

Ron, when are you going out to San Fran?

[I]

I think Tuesday.

[B]

Okay, nice.

[I]

Why'd you owe me?

[C]

I heard you weren't from whom you are. Yeah. Oh, great.

[I]

Where'd you hear that?

[A]

Sass coming.

[C]

Someone who would say that.

[J]

Who's spreading that.

[I]

I'm trying to get Sass out there because his beloved Patriots are in the Super Bowl.

[B]

Yeah, these an giv. He gave tickets of assault solely. He did.

[C]

Yeah.

[I]

Sass did.

[B]

No, Dave.

[I]

Oh, yeah. That's what I mean.

[B]

So he's going.

[I]

Yeah, I think it's attainable.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Well, I would love Sass ass day for a ticket. Oh, we need it so bad.

[H]

So good.

[I]

That'd be so sick.

[B]

Just be like, go ahead, call him.

[I]

Or have him dick down in the snow. I'd like to see.

[E]

That's what I'm saying. For something went dick down in the snow.

[B]

He deserves a ticket with his fiance's.

[A]

Parents watching, reminding everyone that he had the Patriots dynasty. Every year was a Super bowl. And then when they were bad, he was just like, I'm a Bills fan. And now he's back.

[I]

Yeah, he's never missed.

[F]

He's never missed.

[C]

You're allowed to do that.

[B]

He's. Did he make it down to Dallas?

[I]

Yeah, I think so.

[B]

Okay.

[I]

So I saw him texting about. I saw them posting about him bringing an ounce of kush down for the Telluride Bush boys.

[B]

What's Bush gaming from your perspective? Because we have a different perspective.

[I]

A big distraction.

[B]

Yeah, we have the same perspective.

[I]

A big distraction from the, from the main thing.

[B]

Well, the, the, the, the funniest part is Sass has a shitload of free time and then Mook and Jerry think that they're Sass. So they're like, oh, yeah, we have also the free time.

[I]

Sass was also on like a only do son of a boy dad contract.

[B]

Right.

[E]

That's what I'm saying.

[B]

Yeah.

[I]

And then he. I think he just got off of that contract, but.

[B]

Oh, he did.

[I]

I think he just. I think Sass just got paid.

[E]

Did we pay Sassy?

[B]

Oh, whoa. And he's. Now.

[I]

And now he has to do other things. Oh, now he gets to do other things.

[B]

That's a problem.

[I]

I think that this is going to be one of them, but I don't know. It's. I mean, they have merch, they have good hats.

[C]

It's a. It's hot. And it's valuable, right?

[I]

Is it valuable?

[C]

Does it. Does.

[B]

Well, I don't know. I still have not been able to figure out how we get to the point of making money.

[I]

Right.

[F]

What if they.

[A]

Yes, but then stream on a cruise.

[E]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Oh, I just saw. Pardon My Cheesesteak got added Yep, there it is. Celbu coffee gets added to everything. Think Mincy does.

[E]

His idea to get something sponsored is always Stella Blue Coffee.

[B]

Yeah. Coffee on the ship and grateful.

[E]

And that comes from you one time jokingly saying you would sponsor something and he thinks he's a client for the rest.

[B]

I don't even think it was me joking, saying I was a sponsor. I think he literally was like, I'll drink Stella Blue on Wake up Miny. I said, okay.

[E]

Oh, wait, it's DraftKings High Noon Pink Whitney, Pardon my cheesesteak and style Blue coffee.

[B]

Okay.

[E]

Okay. All right.

[B]

Again, how do we make the money?

[G]

Yeah, he's basically saying we could make money if all these sponsors agree to.

[B]

But they're, that's us. I don't think he understands how.

[D]

Also, I, I, I think he's gonna do a whole DraftKings pitch here. And I think that would only be legal if draft. If this cruise was floating to DraftKings legalized states.

[B]

Got it.

[A]

Okay.

[I]

A river cruise.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Riverboat with barstool grass.

[I]

Greg. Yeah, I vaguely am familiar. I don't know about his river.

[B]

What's his, what's next up?

[J]

Yeah, he's a legend.

[E]

He's from Missouri.

[B]

Let me ask you a question. Do you know Green Greg?

[C]

Yeah, he did the whole green thing.

[I]

That does sound vaguely familiar. But what was it? What does it have to do with the riverboat? He was riverboat gambling.

[B]

He, he's, he's our Missouri guy.

[I]

Yes, I'm familiar with that. And I was familiar with him saying fire Andy Reid, etc.

[B]

Yep. And everything that it. Since he got hired, everything has gone wrong. Mahomes Tours, acl, they moved the stadium. Yeah, he's perfect. He also. The winner of the worst idol we've ever run.

[I]

Was. It was bad.

[F]

Oh, man.

[E]

Oh, my God.

[I]

Ron. I just wanted to your guys.

[B]

He beat out a guy who just read like seven pages of a blog to us in a presentation.

[A]

Nice guy. He came in second.

[E]

Very nice guy.

[B]

Good dudes. But Greg is perfect.

[I]

Yeah, he sounds incredible, but I just don't understand how he riverboat gambles.

[E]

Well, he lives.

[I]

Oh, God. By the Missouri River. Where's this the genesis of this whole idea? Is it from when Chaps and Donnie were talking about a cruise?

[B]

No, Mincy just wants to go on a cruise.

[I]

Oh, he wants to go on a cruise.

[E]

But yes, the genesis idea came from somebody else. It was, yeah, Donnie.

[I]

And he's taking ownership of their kind of.

[E]

Correct.

[A]

So we would go on the cruise with Mincey and do Our jobs while he cruises.

[E]

Cruise? Yeah.

[I]

Amazing.

[A]

So he's not missing work?

[I]

Yeah, he's, he's a grinder. But I thought in that clip they were like, we couldn't get like Big.

[B]

Cat to go, yeah, I'm not going.

[I]

On this, but I seemed like he's pitching you to be on the cruise.

[B]

I, I also gave him the offer before Tyson Roan, you, you came in here. I gave him the offer that I will accept everything he wants to do and fund everything he wants to do with the one condition being that he has to jump off the cruise boat. And he thought it.

[E]

He did think about it.

[B]

He thought about it hard.

[E]

He asked about the logistics of it.

[B]

He's like, would I survive? Like, probably not.

[I]

Cuz if the impact doesn't kill you.

[B]

Yeah, you're just gone.

[I]

The sharks.

[B]

Yeah, you're gone.

[I]

Guaranteed sharks.

[F]

Don't understand how to get this text.

[H]

Can Mincy swim? Can't see this.

[E]

I, I, it seems like he would be a better swimmer than you think.

[H]

Okay.

[I]

He can swim.

[H]

He can.

[I]

We did a event at the AUB casino in. He jumped in a lazy river.

[H]

I've seen him do shallow.

[E]

That was three and a half feet deep.

[H]

I've never seen him in deep.

[A]

Yeah, it's always a lazy river.

[H]

Yeah.

[G]

I don't think we gave that enough attention. He can't change the font size.

[B]

Imagine if we got Minty in a motivated river.

[A]

Mincy's only in rivers and Susans.

[C]

Can we spice this? How do we make this better for us?

[B]

I don't know.

[C]

All I'm doing, I think it's pictures.

[B]

It's the, I mean, it's not. Yeah, he's got.

[C]

Tell me. We want pictures. We want smut.

[B]

We need pictures.

[I]

There has to be a little smut.

[C]

Little bikinis, attention grabbers.

[I]

It, it can't be bare bones.

[E]

Cuz.

[I]

It looks like he just has a white background.

[G]

He doesn't know how to change the font size. He's not going to know how to insert an image. No offense.

[A]

Tate's life has to suck.

[E]

I know.

[B]

I was going to say Tate really should get, get.

[I]

He just has a permanent look of like, consternation on his brow.

[G]

It's like having a bad dog.

[J]

He's close, but it feels like he loves it. Tate.

[E]

Yeah, Tate. He attacks this assignment.

[C]

He's killing.

[G]

I mean, he used to teach children.

[J]

I think he likes the micro moments and then the macro. He's like, I can't believe this is my life. But, but it is kind of Funny to be just standing next to Mintz, having a conversation with him. And Mince.

[E]

Can't realize.

[J]

Doesn't realize he's just recording the entire thing.

[A]

I love Mintz's default think face is the chin rub, though. He did that in a lot of videos when he is processing. It's cliche.

[H]

I love. If I saw him in a cafe right now, I'd be like, oh, look at this businessman doing real work.

[I]

Yeah, they're busting their ass.

[H]

Never know.

[I]

I'm always curious what real business people are doing. At the Delta Lounge this morning, there was, like, a table of them all, and they all had their laptops out. One guy walked away to take a call, and I, like, glanced at his screen, and he doubled back to his screen and shut it just so. I was just like, it was that important. But what could he.

[C]

Such a different universe. I. I almost think it's fake.

[I]

Like, that's what I mean.

[C]

Calls are fake.

[I]

Are they just doing this? Are they just making PowerPoint?

[C]

What could they possibly be doing that's so important.

[I]

Important that he went back and shut it? It was just like a long email with a lot of typos, a lot of red squiggles under it.

[B]

Just looking at graphs.

[I]

And what are the graphs? Who's even making them?

[H]

That's. Actually, we all have business friends, and I've talked to them and asked them, and I could not tell you. Like, people I've known my whole life.

[A]

I don't know my friend's jobs. Don't ask.

[C]

No.

[B]

Never ask.

[A]

Don't know what they do.

[J]

Everybody tells me that they just sit on Zoom meetings and. And just sit there.

[B]

Yeah, but then who's.

[J]

Who's doing the shit then? Yeah, everybody's sitting there.

[C]

They're planning who's.

[I]

Who's doing?

[J]

Making the happening.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

I don't have any friends in business. What I just realized I have a teacher. I have an alcohol salesman. I have a doctor. I have another doctor.

[A]

Well, what is business?

[E]

I have no business.

[B]

Yeah, business is very general.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Is alcohol sales business?

[E]

I think business is just emailing people that you're going to circle back.

[H]

Yeah, definitely.

[B]

Graphs.

[F]

Following up.

[A]

It's graphs and putting a pin in.

[B]

Things and being like, how do we get this deal done?

[A]

What do I need to do?

[B]

Yeah.

[J]

Do you have anybody that works downtown? Brandon.

[H]

Oh, what does Art do? He seems like a business.

[F]

Anybody?

[E]

Oh, well, he owns a pizza joint.

[A]

Pizza mogul.

[B]

It's a business.

[E]

Yeah. It probably counts.

[J]

Anybody commute downtown?

[E]

No, I don't have any downtown people?

[H]

I have friends that do, but I don't.

[E]

You gotta understand, where I'm from, downtown and the county are separated by half a mile.

[A]

Aisle.

[C]

What is like the citadel? What do they do?

[B]

Citadel?

[C]

Not the Marines Academy, the company.

[B]

Oh, the bank.

[I]

It's got to be a bank.

[C]

What do they. What do they do?

[I]

Loans, Money.

[E]

What's a Citadel?

[I]

There's a company called a Bunk.

[A]

What's Cisco?

[C]

It's.

[A]

They're just solutions.

[I]

Those are systems.

[B]

Yeah, School.

[H]

They do all the food and uniforms and legit.

[B]

Who?

[H]

Cisco.

[F]

What uniforms?

[E]

Cisco does a lot of food.

[H]

I think they also do Pong songs.

[J]

Unleash.

[B]

Like.

[H]

Like company. Like, am I crazy? To Cisco.

[E]

Oh, you're right.

[I]

You're right, you're right. And there's always trucks.

[E]

Are you thinking of Cintas?

[I]

No, no.

[E]

Cintas's uniform.

[J]

One Cisco.

[H]

Mozzarella sticks and uniforms.

[B]

Oh, really?

[E]

I think you're. You're. I don't think they do uniforms. I think they do frozen foods. I think Cintas is the uniforms.

[B]

Who does logistics.

[C]

What is logistics?

[H]

Oh, I'm thinking of Sysco.

[J]

Yeah, yeah.

[H]

This is different. Cisco.

[J]

Two different CISOs.

[E]

I think it's.

[B]

What is it?

[E]

That's. I like a logistics or planning thing.

[F]

Planning.

[G]

Great. Like Dave used to.

[B]

What about travel?

[E]

Yeah, there you go.

[A]

Cisco's wholesale.

[B]

Oh, wow. About.

[I]

I had a friend who was in business, and I dug in one time and I was like, what do you. What do you do? And I found out that his business was butt cream and that he sold butt.

[B]

Probably know him, but probably do all.

[I]

Your sales rep. And it came in, I think, a red tube or something like that. And he. I was like, well, so what's like the new innovations? And he's like, we're adding face cream. And the face cream is the same thing as the butt cream, but we're putting it in a blue tube.

[C]

But it's that same exact cream.

[I]

It's the same exact cream. And they're just labeling the butt cream as ice cream. And that's what they're doing. Doing. That's.

[J]

It is genius.

[I]

That's business.

[H]

But women love that stuff.

[I]

But cream.

[H]

They love stuff that, like having, like, you know, they've actually. This was actually going on people's butts. But if you put it under your eyes.

[B]

Yeah, women put creams.

[H]

Really?

[I]

No, they're doing weird stuff with creams.

[H]

People put hemorrhoid cream on there.

[I]

Salmon sperm, Kate.

[A]

Salmon sperm is in creams.

[I]

Speak for. Speak for the women. Race on this one, people.

[H]

Foreskin.

[C]

Salmon. What?

[B]

What?

[I]

Salmon sperm.

[F]

Forski.

[A]

Talking about caviar, slugs, snails.

[I]

I'm talking about salmon sperm face cream that women using all the time.

[H]

I have a friend that got, like, a salmon sperm facial.

[I]

They get injections of salmon sperm into their face. And from my understanding, there's just salmon at the salmon farm who just have to get jerked off all day as their job.

[B]

But this is kind of one of those situations where. Where we got to be careful because. Yeah, I don't want to know. I just. You just got to look hot, right?

[I]

However, the sausage. Whatever.

[B]

Yeah, I don't care how.

[C]

The sausage as the audience.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Right. Just give me the sausage. Okay.

[I]

Salmon.

[E]

Does salmon come come in glumps? Like in glumps? Glumps like that.

[H]

I'm gonna glump some.

[D]

Yeah.

[J]

Pink come.

[I]

They got pink.

[J]

Beautiful.

[C]

How do you donate sperm? Can you just do that or be, like, smart enough?

[E]

I always thought that was just a TV thing. Banks and all that.

[B]

I had. I had a buddy did it. He. He gave sperm and plasma.

[A]

Plasma hurts to give, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[H]

My dad used to sperm for beer.

[C]

Money, but any dude could just be, like, father a child.

[B]

I think it's like. I mean, it's kind of up to jump over that hurdle to be like, I might be producing life.

[C]

What is the screening process?

[E]

Do they really pay you for it?

[B]

I'm pretty sure if they pay you.

[E]

For it, then any poor guy could do it.

[B]

Well, I think there is a screening process.

[H]

Talked about this guy before those. The guy from Brooklyn who, like, meets women at Starbucks. He like, I'll go into the bathroom and jizz first, and then you go in with the turkey baster.

[B]

Oh.

[H]

And like, he has, like, 80 kids around New York City, and he's just, like, the most dad in New York City for free. It's like, yeah. He's like, I'll do it for free.

[B]

That's like that doctor in Indiana. Remember that documentary? Yeah, that was crazy. Just had the whole town as kids.

[A]

Aren't they trying to get redheads to bust? Aren't they going extinct?

[B]

Oh, really?

[A]

That's what they're asking for at sperm banks.

[I]

Redheads. Yeah, but don't the parents just. Don't. Don't they pick what they want out of, like, a magazine?

[A]

I think you can now.

[C]

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

[I]

You guys are deep on class.

[A]

We love them. Did you see him almost ice cream Max?

[C]

Almost?

[I]

I didn't see that. I just thought he was on stream. Anna de Armas. He was just on stream with the Armis last night talking about body counts.

[E]

What's clavicular?

[J]

What are any of those words?

[H]

It was jester maxing that.

[E]

Stop talking to each other like you know what's going on. What? What are you saying? What's a clavicular?

[I]

So he's. I think that he's like the original. Not the original, but he's like the apex looks maxer. Which is when ugly dudes bust up their faces to make them look better. And so you could like.

[B]

Is that possible?

[I]

Jawline.

[B]

Can I ask a dumb question? Does he have good clavicles? I don't know why the. The name.

[A]

And his shoulders are his weakest.

[I]

Point point. Yeah, he has a narrow. He actually has a narrow frame for a look. Smacker.

[A]

He pioneered bone smashing.

[B]

What?

[D]

That's when you literally take like a hammer and you hit it against your jaw like a thousand times.

[A]

His parents took his timer away, so he thinks fist.

[D]

Yeah. And you can get a sharper jawline.

[F]

Yeah.

[I]

And then he ran someone over and then he got super famous. And now he's streaming with Anna de Armas.

[B]

With everyone.

[H]

Yeah, he's at the club.

[D]

Him and a bunch of the other worst people on the Internet like, went viral for singing the Kanye Hall Hitler song in the club.

[E]

But Kanye apologized.

[A]

Yeah.

[I]

Yeah. Because he probably saw these dudes. He's like, I do not want these carrying my legacy on.

[C]

Oh, my God, they're twins.

[H]

Oh, no.

[I]

That's so insane. Who noticed that? Did you guys notice that?

[I]

What was that? Movie.

[E]

Movie.

This will help. He went with the flow, though. I thought he. He took it in stride.

[H]

I get tagged in fights all the time.

[A]

Oh, yeah, the gay couple that looked like me and Kyle. We reached out to do a video with. I don't know if we told you guys, but they were like, never contact us again.

[C]

First off, we don't look alike.

[A]

Yeah, they. Yeah, they were like, first off, no, we look nothing alike. We did. Secondly, never reach out again.

[I]

They were insulted by it.

[G]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[I]

Oh, my God.

[B]

That means you were right on the money.

[C]

Yeah.

[I]

Everyone can't be the better person in better looking person in a doppelganger situation. Someone's always punching down, down.

[B]

Yeah.

[I]

No even playing field of a doppelganger.

[E]

I had a high school riff this morning.

[B]

Yeah, I saw that guy.

[E]

I got. I got High School Rift.

[B]

He didn't look that much like you.

[E]

It was pretty close.

[J]

Yeah, it looked like how you used to look.

[E]

He had my old. Now he had my old haircut.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Not. Not my new one. Not my new banging haircut.

[I]

So damn good.

[B]

I'm supposed to get so banging.

[I]

Yeah.

[J]

Is that it for you? You think you're gonna reinvent your hair at some point, Brandon?

[E]

No, I think. I think I'm where I'm gonna. Although this. There's a. There's a different life that I lead where I end up being this a high school basketball ref looking like this guy.

[A]

You think you're happier?

[E]

Probably, yeah.

[F]

No.

[I]

What? You would always yearn? Yeah, I always yearn for more.

[E]

But here's the thing, Ron. I. I have now and I still yearn. I yearn for. I yearn for Mississippi cow fields.

[I]

That's human nature.

[E]

Yeah. I'll never stop yearning earning.

[H]

Yeah.

[I]

But at least you've tasted greatness. Yeah, you have.

[E]

By the way, you want to move out here? You want to buy a house?

[I]

I'm thinking about it.

[B]

Branson's in the business selling a house.

[I]

Are you getting. You're getting off your land?

Oh, no.

[B]

Okay.

[E]

Homes up by you.

[E]

I have two up there and one in miss. Yeah, but I bought. I bought my mom my house so she can move up here. She lasted six months into the winter.

[B]

Winner also. Don't do that, by the way. Thinking about it. That was mean. Don't do that.

[I]

You're not think about it.

[B]

Don't. Don't do that. I think so mean.

[I]

I think about the idea.

[J]

Your thought is. No, no, is still a thought.

[B]

That was just ripping.

[I]

Is there just a chance chest she'll come up in the summertime?

[B]

Yeah. No. Yeah. Looks like she'd be your child. That was me.

[E]

What she does, though. Yeah.

[I]

No, she looks cute.

[A]

Brandon, did you know Caitlyn found out that her mom was moving in four days on the yak?

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

No, no, she.

[A]

Your mom forgot to tell Caitlyn.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah, that's something.

[E]

We're a. We're a family.

[C]

Take care of behind the camera.

[D]

We're.

[E]

We're an awkward group of human beings that happen to be related.

[I]

I don't think your mom is awkward.

[E]

She just forgot to tell Caitlin she's moving.

[I]

I think she just. Yeah. Yeah, maybe.

[E]

Yeah.

[I]

I thought she was very sweet every time I met her and had a boisterous personality.

[E]

Did you Motorborough?

[I]

No, that was Dan.

[A]

Is mama on the lamb?

[E]

No, I know where she is. She's. She's just. She's getting out of here. She's getting the.

[I]

Out of here, but she'll be back in the summertime.

[E]

Actually.

[B]

Credit to her for telling you.

[E]

Yeah, she's going back to.

[A]

Yeah, she didn't have to.

[B]

She didn't have to.

[C]

Communication open.

[B]

Skip town.

[E]

She's going back to warmer climates where there's currently like a foot of ice on the ground and power.

[B]

Did you guys get pounded by snow?

[I]

It wasn't a Pounding. Ah. It was like 8. 8 inches.

[C]

That's a pound.

[E]

That's a pound.

[I]

Yeah, but it's like we didn't have to deal with it. Like nobody had to like shovel.

[B]

Yeah, you didn't have to deal with it.

[E]

There's people that had to deal with it.

[I]

Well, in. In Brooklyn, where I live, nobody shoveled their. Nobody was like, we have to go out and shove shovel. It's all apartment buildings.

[C]

They don't do that.

[A]

Did your socks get wet at any point in time?

[I]

I got a little bit of snow in my shoes today.

[J]

Does it get cleared out? Does someone else shovel?

[I]

Yeah, like that. My building has send someone outside to shovel it and then I walk around and stomp in the snow a little bit. I don't know.

[E]

I'm gonna get a blower. I've decided I'm gonna. Yeah, I stopped yesterday to look at them. I think today I might stop and buy one.

[I]

You've been shoveling?

[E]

I've been shoveling, but I've also just been giving up on lot. Like I can drive over it. So now I don't want to give up anymore. I want to. I want to attack it with the blower. So I'm going to go get a blower.

[B]

It just feels so good to just. Mission accomplished.

[I]

Yeah. Cuts down on heart attacks.

[B]

Yeah.

[J]

Got to blow it.

[G]

You're going to help the neighbors do.

[H]

[B]

He's trying to do it.

[I]

You got it.

[E]

Maybe I'll. I might help my. My neighbor across the street. He's a good one. I think his name Rob.

[B]

Oh, no.

[I]

Does this mean it's a dirty picture they tweeted out?

[D]

Do any PowerPoint experts know if copying a. And pasting a Google link into a slideshow will make the photo appear it's presented?

[J]

Come on.

[B]

Oh, no.

[D]

That's where they're at right now.

[C]

Let's get that picture.

[I]

Brandon, this might be an uncouth question. Is your mama. She.

[E]

She ain't.

[I]

She ain't dating anybody, is she?

[E]

No, she's not to my knowledge. No.

[I]

I told you yet.

[E]

Yeah.

[I]

No, I. I might find out four days before the wedding.

[E]

I might. I might.

[H]

I don't think she's a hot ticket item.

[B]

That's what I.

[I]

That's why I'm asking.

[H]

I feel like dudes are. Would be in a 55 and up community. She'd be like the most desirable.

[I]

Right.

[G]

She's looking for anything.

[A]

You bring that number down.

[B]

Could I call dibs if anything happened to my wife?

[E]

No.

[I]

Yeah.

[E]

Oh, I think you can.

[B]

I think I just did. I think I just. Dibs.

[I]

I think that'd be nice.

[C]

Yeah.

[I]

There's way more chopped people in the 55 up and up.

[E]

I know I, I know. I, I, I'd rather not think about it.

[A]

You'd have a real rich daddy.

[B]

Dude.

[A]

Christmas would be amazing.

[B]

A Cox and D about under the tree.

[C]

A little Coxon as your papa.

[A]

Big cat watching you open up your gifts.

[F]

Oh.

[C]

Oh, big.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Did you try to circle back to Cox?

[I]

Stop.

[C]

I realize you meant bitcount, which is funnier. But only a little bit funnier than Coxon. Still fox.

[F]

Why did you think I assumed Cox.

[C]

Coxon has.

[E]

We're just hammering the Cox Cox something there with Cox boys.

[C]

I googled the pronunciation before the show.

[B]

I had to get it on. Oh, flooding the zone with Cox.

[E]

We got a Yak.

[F]

Wow.

[B]

That's a big development. Good.

[I]

So he's writing in a live yak on the boat. Is was what it seems like.

[B]

Yeah.

[I]

You're so you're gonna have to be there.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean we, we distilled it. It's us doing work while he does the water slide.

[E]

We need to buy yak at least a skull. Yak skull. Yeah, we need a yak skull on the wall.

[B]

Cool. We. The eight year anniversary.

[I]

Last week it was just the eight year anniversary.

[B]

Eight years.

[I]

God damn.

[B]

Eight years.

[I]

That's so sick.

[B]

Cuz it's always like in my head the yak is like the new show.

[I]

Yeah.

[C]

It feels new years, but like Gonzo feels like decades.

[B]

Oh my God. You. Your rivalry with Gonzo was one of my favorite of all time.

[J]

Time.

[C]

That was a different lifetime.

[I]

He hated your ass.

[B]

He hated your ass.

[C]

Yeah, I was.

[F]

He can't.

[B]

He was all up in your ass all the time.

[A]

Did you push back?

[B]

No, it kind of got.

[E]

Yeah, but Kyle didn't like him either.

[B]

Yeah, no, it was mutual.

[C]

Yeah.

[I]

Well, we just got Pug.

[B]

Yeah, dude, take care of him. Pug is.

[I]

He's such a gem.

[B]

Pug is the absolute best.

[A]

Best.

[B]

Make sure you tap in with him too.

[I]

I've been tapping in.

[B]

Okay.

[I]

What does he like?

[B]

No, you misunderstood that. Understandable. He rates and reviews beers on the tap it app untapped. Untapped. And all of them are. All of them are the exact same.

[J]

He likes everything.

[B]

Four out of five. Pretty good beer.

[I]

I, I will absolutely be tapping in with them.

[B]

It's the funniest thing. I, I maybe it's just. I get a kick out of it. It but it's the most like 60 year old dad move. Like we went to Lake Tahoe, we would just go out to dinner. I'd just be like. I'd just be hovering over him, being like, you're gonna tap in. Like you're gonna tap in.

[E]

And he did.

[B]

Yeah, he tapped in right in front of me.

[I]

I mean, he's in tap in heaven. Out in New York. There's taps everywhere. Yeah, taps abound. We were talking about the New York or the New Jersey governor. Mikey. Cheryl.

[B]

Okay.

[I]

Anyone know about her?

[A]

He.

[E]

He.

[I]

So much of her. Her name? Mikey.

[J]

Mikey.

[I]

Isn't that a little bit spunky?

[A]

But the last name is Cheryl.

[H]

Cheryl.

[I]

Right.

[B]

Flip it.

[I]

Yes. It's shocking, but he knew a ton about Mike.

[B]

What's up with her?

[I]

I think she's just a spunky girl. Girl.

[B]

Cheryl.

[I]

I think she's getting done, according to him.

[H]

Okay.

[I]

Navy helicopter pilot.

[C]

Wow.

[B]

Oh.

[I]

Mikey.

[B]

Familiar with your game?

[H]

Georgetown. Fancy.

[B]

Oh, it's Rebecca Michelle.

[I]

Oh. She really wanted to go masculine.

[B]

It's Rebecca Michelle. Cheryl.

[I]

She had three chances to have a girl name and she picked Mikey. Mikey. Cheryl. Yeah, he was putting me on. I didn't really know about Mikey.

[H]

I remember my elementary school bully was a girl named Michael Allen.

[I]

Whoa. You can't even be mad at her.

[B]

No.

[H]

Yeah.

[I]

Michael Allen.

[H]

Good. Yeah. Yeah.

[I]

Her poor dad, too.

[H]

It goes deep.

[I]

Michael Allen.

[H]

She's lovely now.

[F]

Wasn't her fault.

[I]

Is she. Have you seen her recently?

[H]

No.

[I]

So how do you.

[H]

I was a little afraid at my high school reunion. I was like, is Michael gonna be here?

[I]

She's just cracking her knuckles in the.

[H]

Room, waiting to beat me up.

[I]

Where's Kate? Where's man.

[H]

Michael. No. Girl. Michael. No.

[B]

Michael Allen.

[H]

Yeah.

[I]

Have you. Do you know anything about her? What's going on?

[H]

No. Haven't seen her since elementary school. Not that I'm still thinking about her.

[B]

Oh, Roan, I forgot to ask you. How was Sass with Aaron Judge? Were you guys sitting together?

[I]

No, we just saw each other after the fact. He was. He didn't say. He didn't say a plum word to him. He didn't say anything.

[A]

Did Sass care?

[I]

I think that he was, like, excited, but he didn't know. He doesn't know how to, like, manifest his excitement. Yeah, I think some of the other standup comics from New York, he said the one dude, Derek Drescher wad. He was like, II Captain to him or something like that, I think. I don't know. I guess. I guess he really means a lot to Yankees fans. I was excited to see him, but I'm not a baseball fan. I'm not a crazy Yankees fan. But TJ I'm sure has a different perspective.

[D]

I mean he's.

[I]

He's the second best baseball player in the world.

[D]

Mainlining towards all time legend without a.

[B]

Rank, without a pinstripe.

[D]

That's what would get him.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Without a pinstripe to his name, I.

[I]

Mean, how is he even going to get a pinstripe if the Dodgers exist, it needs it.

[C]

It's true.

[F]

Probably.

[D]

Probably wasted his two best shots at.

[J]

It, but should sign with the Dodgers.

[I]

He should.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

If he needs to be a Yankee legend. Needs to get a ring. Yeah. Sign with the Dodgers.

[J]

Sass like baseball like that?

[B]

No.

[I]

He was on a softball team for.

[A]

A little bit, but no, he wasn't.

[J]

Part of me is a little surprised Sass even knew who that was.

[I]

Yeah, Yeah. I, Someone must have told him cuz he said. I think he said like he looked at him and he just like nobody else was making a big deal of it. So he started to doubt whether it was actually Aaron Judge.

[A]

Have you ever pressed Sass on his depal stretch?

[C]

That's mysterious.

[B]

It is mysterious.

[I]

It is super mysterious that he has Chicago back of a Chicago background.

[A]

I live close to the DePaul campus and like when he was in town I was like come over. He's like, I can't go back that.

[F]

Like the.

[B]

For like six months.

[C]

For a year, right?

[B]

No, because Covet hit.

[I]

Yeah.

[B]

He went for the first six.

[C]

He was.

[B]

Yeah.

[I]

And then got hired halfway.

[B]

2019 fall.

[J]

That's crazy.

[G]

What did he say happened? He just left after.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I can't imagine him in like a burgeoning friend group.

[I]

Yeah. Like going to a kickback.

[B]

Yeah.

[I]

Or like after.

[C]

Or having a new group of dudes.

[B]

Or like having like a dorm with another person.

[E]

Right.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I think he was in an improv troupe.

[I]

No, he. It was an acapella group.

[A]

Okay.

[I]

Okay.

[A]

Yes.

[I]

He was like. It was the base in the acapella group. I secretly would have loved to join acapella group in college.

[E]

Yeah, it would have been great.

[B]

Those guys always look like they're having the best. I. I got in my algorithm. The, the dudes that all look like they work at Merrill lynch. Just standing.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And they're in a group called like the Pips.

[H]

It's the Wisconsin guys, right?

[B]

No, I don't.

[H]

Wisconsin has an acapella group that's been going. They. You can hire them if it's your birthday. On campus and then they go up and then it's your birthday, so, you know, I'm about to ride.

[I]

They find you on the street.

[H]

They find you on the street and they're like a grind all over you.

[B]

I think about these, like, dudes that I think they're.

[I]

Are they older?

[B]

Yeah, they're. Well, they're mixed of age. They look like they're the best friends. They all have, like, spin drifts or IPAs out, and they're just a cheese board. And they're just standing in a kitchen just jamming.

[I]

That's so nice.

[B]

Yeah.

[H]

And just in someone's house.

[B]

Yeah.

[I]

Being able to harmonize. Kitchen will be so nice.

[B]

Right? Just with your boys. Just be like, hey, what are we doing tonight? Let's just get some tracks down.

[C]

Yeah. That's what you would do if you went back.

[I]

Sure. Some of them are gay, but some of them aren't.

[C]

Feel like I'd be like a midsize trans chick if I went back dominating a rec rugby league. I'm one gnarly psychedelic trip away from, like, being that playing for, like, the DuPage Derby Dames.

[I]

You look that new.

[B]

Definitely has.

[I]

Rugby.

[C]

I think I'd be, like, great at women's rugby.

[I]

Like. Like carrying them. Carrying rock or you're. Yeah, you're just lay the lumber.

[C]

I'm like a strong dude.

[I]

You are. You are. I think that you could lay to the lumber.

[J]

You would be good at women rugby.

[I]

You think you have wig?

[C]

I think I would be, like, pretty at a rec league. Not, like, professional.

[I]

Not yet. Is there pro. I mean, Kate. Kate, you played.

[H]

There's pro men's rugby.

[I]

No, no, that's not. But you know what he's talking about. But they, like. I wonder if there's a situation where you know how girls basketball teams have guys that they can practice against. If you could kind of practice against.

[C]

The girls rugby, I'd like to see.

[H]

I played club rugby, and we did. Did have players that had transitioned. So, like, men that were. That were now women.

[E]

Oh, they do.

[H]

And pretty good.

[C]

Pretty damn good.

[B]

No, they did fine.

[C]

It was fine.

[H]

It's kind of a nothing burger. Kind of a nothing burger.

[B]

TJ found the acapella group. Look at these guys. These guys all drive super gurus.

[I]

So nice.

[B]

Yeah.

[H]

There is a boys.

[A]

I think this is just a party of gay men.

[B]

I don't know. What are we this, like, am I accidentally gay?

[E]

Oh, college.

[C]

They look rich.

[B]

There's so many of them, and they're all different ages. Those guys rock Come on, Uncle Cracker.

[C]

In with the boys.

[B]

So you said. That's awesome. They were in my algorithm. I was like, this looks like fun.

[A]

So you saw this and you're like, I missed college.

[B]

No, it wasn't college. Like, these guys are all.

[H]

Yeah, some beers are.

[B]

Dr. Philadelphia, you should go do a video.

[I]

Go hang with these boys. They might be. They might. They might all be gay.

[H]

Oh, my mom would have jam seshes in our house growing. Growing up.

[A]

Like, what do you mean?

[H]

Like, her friends and stuff. Everybody would bring instruments over and, like, on a Sunday, they just have, like a jam date and they'd all bring music and, like.

[A]

Were they drinking?

[H]

Yeah.

[I]

Okay.

[A]

Were you not playing in the street?

[H]

We would go walk on the train tracks. But they would have, like. It wasn't acapella, but they'd sing like, Peter, Paul and Mary and stuff. They were like, is that weird?

[C]

No, no, that's fun sessions.

[H]

It was like sing along days. Not acapella, though.

[I]

They play guitars.

[H]

Yeah.

[I]

And what?

[H]

Any other tambourine action?

[I]

Maybe a steel drum? Cheeky.

[B]

Oh, steel drums rock, man.

[E]

Yeah, they do.

[I]

They set the tone.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You hear a steel drum, you're just instantly in a great mood.

[I]

You're in the islands.

[B]

Yeah.

[I]

Oh, here they come.

[B]

Oh, they're ready to go.

[I]

That was in unison.

[H]

Looks like four photos.

[J]

Is the sound effect guy in the acapella group? Always Sound effect guy guy.

[I]

I think in the pentatonix. He is.

[E]

Yeah.

[I]

In the pentatonix.

[A]

Pentatonix has a sound effect guy.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Which one is he?

[H]

Give me a black. What's the sound effect like in, like, the bass?

[D]

The guy.

[J]

The guy.

[I]

Yeah, that kind of.

[A]

There was that one guy in all the 80s movies, Spaceballs and whatnot.

[E]

Michael Winslow.

[C]

Yeah.

[I]

Yeah. Police Academy.

[A]

Is he still kicking?

[E]

Oh, yeah, he's still doing it and he's.

[I]

He's crushing it.

[D]

Does he have.

[E]

He'll show up on Fallon every now and then and do some. Do some sounds awesome.

[I]

He's amazing. He can probably do a steel drum.

[E]

He can do heavy metal like. Like a. Like a Roses song. The whole thing.

[G]

Does he want to come in here?

[B]

No, he can go. They can go in there. He can talk in Chase. Mike, get it plugged in. Let's go. Miny. Let me do the last tax act read.

[F]

I think so.

[B]

Okay. I'm happy that you did it yourself.

[F]

We got a. I believe we have a non slide presentation. Wow.

[I]

Pretty good.

[B]

Okay, walk us through it.

[F]

All right. The idea is the inaugural barstool cruise the pirate ship takes to the sea.

[E]

All right, now wait. So the first line there is written in a big, big font and the second line is in a smaller font. So the second line is not quite as important as the first line line.

[F]

I guess not.

[E]

Okay, and how did you arrive at choosing that size font for the first one?

[A]

I think I might be default.

[F]

I. I just. Yeah, the default. That's what it was.

[G]

Title font.

[B]

Or were you worried at all about, you know, like actual pirates? Molly pirates.

[F]

Well, what I was worried about with the idea is shout out to wanton Don and Eddie. And this is an idea that's been floating around the office for long before my brain thought of it. So I want to give a shout out.

[E]

Well, you remember your brain didn't in.

[F]

Yeah, but I. I'm here to bring the logistics of the idea.

[B]

There we go.

[F]

But I don't want to. You know, wanton Don's been talking about.

[G]

This for a while, but it's there behind the opera.

[F]

Yeah, but I just want to be transparent on that and give them credit.

[J]

So every word is capitalized. Does that mean this is the official title of the. Of the. The cruise? Would it be the pirate ship take? Is that part of the title?

[F]

Like that was just like a little slogan? Like a little slogan? Like little add on.

[J]

Okay.

[F]

Yeah, yeah. The cruise was the cruise. The idea as the inaugural barstool cruise.

[J]

Got it.

[F]

The pirate ship takes the sea was. I don't know. I thought it sounded okay, so can you.

[B]

Can you give it to us like animated here?

[F]

Like, the inaugural barstool cruise the pirate ship takes to the sea.

[B]

That's what I was looking at.

[E]

All right. Y.

[B]

That's exactly how I envisioned it in my head.

[E]

Okay.

[F]

Okay, second slide. All right. Info of our business potential partner. Over 20 years of experience and over 100 cruises and music fest thrown in the Mexico and the Caribbean dating back to around 2002. They've the founder of Jam Cruise. They're throwing their 22nd this year. Next Super bowl weekend. They've done 14 holy ships, which are huge EDM cruises, they can handle all the logistics from renting the boat to lodging to the pre party, the island excursions. They got it all buttoned up. They were pioneer in this industry. And then the big thing, we can host 3,000 stoolies.

[E]

So this was kind of their idea too. Somebody in Mexico approached you and said they could handle this for you.

[F]

Like I said, wanton don.

[E]

No, no, I'm not worried about them.

[B]

What's the person's name? Mincy.

[F]

The name I give is Johnny Trongan.

[B]

Johnny.

[A]

Oh, that's the guy you thought was Johnny Trombone.

[F]

That does rhyme.

[A]

No, but was there a video of you pitching a talk with Johnny Trombone.

[F]

To Mook? Maybe.

[C]

Other guy?

[F]

Yeah, maybe.

[E]

So in Mexico last week, somebody approached you and said, we can handle this for you. We heard about this idea. We can do it.

[F]

Yeah. So it kind of came up. Like I mentioned, like, we needed to do this, like a barstool collab. I think this could be huge. And I was hanging out with the owner and his wife and their whole crew, and they were like. They saw the numbers on Instagram and the feedback and the reach and they liked me. And so they're like, let's try to make it.

[E]

So to recap real quick, this is your idea that came from someone else. This is your PowerPoint that someone else did. And this is a crucial point.

[F]

I did this power. I did this PowerPoint.

[A]

Okay, quick question. So on the Donnie stream today, did you say that, like, you didn't just go to this panic show to party, you went for, like, business?

[F]

Yeah, clearly I'm here to clear my name of all these false charges. There's actually a business idea behind on me going down there for four nights in Mexico.

[A]

So you had this idea before the people approached you there?

[F]

I thought I did have this idea.

[B]

What was the business idea for going to Mexico?

[F]

Well, I was looking to build this relationship with this company.

[B]

So you were doing business in Mexico with Johnny Chango?

[F]

Yeah, I mean, it's all. We'll call it networking.

[B]

Got it. Okay.

[E]

All right.

[F]

Hey, I'm trying to bring some money back into the company on behalf of us.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

So that's true, but.

[B]

No, I know it's a scary thought.

[F]

Okay. I'm trying. I'm trying to. You know, you. I know you talk about our best man being important.

[E]

This is a.

[B]

This is a Ben Affleck goodwill hunting situation.

[F]

Okay. Can we go to the next.

[B]

Definitely. Got a retainer from someone.

[I]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Oh, okay.

[E]

Oh, I like that one.

[B]

Oh, okay. It's gonna be a little hard. Yeah.

[F]

I couldn't figure out how to get this built up. Up. I was having trouble with the font. So that's it. Yeah.

[E]

You might have to read this one to us.

[B]

What was the trouble with the font?

[F]

I. I guess I wrote too many words and I didn't know how to blow it back up. And so we had. We had a problem.

[A]

This looks like a milk and honey poem.

[I]

RM Drake PO.

[F]

I mean I. Yeah, I. This was. This. I was definitely struggling with this for a while.

[B]

Maybe that should have been the name of The.

[E]

The.

[B]

The PowerPoint trouble with the font. O a Ben Min store.

[E]

It looks like if you look at a map and the Minnesota down to Louisiana is like a. A chef cooking something. It looks like it's in that shape.

[A]

Shaped like Alabama.

[B]

Shaped like Alabama kind of is.

[E]

Can you read?

[F]

I can read. I can read. I can read it.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

All right. So potential just hypothetical itinerary. The. The crews would look leave from Miami and it would be a four day deal because you know, it's like a proof of concept. Nobody's going to want to commit to like a week. You know, on the first one you'd have an opening night party in Miami. I mean this is all potential. I can't speak for anybody in town.

[E]

I'm just throwing it like you're about to though.

[F]

Well, yeah, but I'm just throwing out ideas. I don't know I'm allowed to do that.

[E]

Sure.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

I thought on the opening night party would be Pupp Grow playing. Playing. Big huge opening night party we could do it at. We have a ton of potential clubs and bars like venues in Miami like Choice or whatever.

[I]

So we're not on the cruise yet.

[F]

Pop punk is the opening night.

[B]

Punk have to get on the cruise.

[F]

If they don't want to, they can just play the opening night party.

[B]

Pretty sweet spot you just got yourself in.

[F]

But the welcome party would be punk in Miami. The night before we set. Set sail.

[E]

Okay. Okay.

[I]

3,000 people.

[F]

Yes, 3,000. 3,000. Still dualies.

[B]

Okay.

[F]

Okay. Day two. It was like board the ship like mid to late morning and we had a set. The idea for the first night on the ship is a come sail away party with Jammy Buffett.

[B]

Oh yeah.

[F]

And when they've got the relationship Jamie.

[B]

Buffett know they're attached.

[F]

I was told by my. The potential partners that's they. They know them and that I was very reassured that that was okay. Wheels were in motion there and that. That this did not seem like a.

[A]

Stretch so do you know this act or that Good.

[F]

I've heard they're really good. I've never seen them, but people that love Jimmy Buffett love them.

[E]

Is boarding mid to late morning just according to your schedule or do you.

[F]

This was hypothetically what I was told and sail away like 6 or 7pm party.

[B]

Okay, great.

[E]

Sure, sure.

[B]

Great.

[F]

Then the next day you cruise. We're going to go to a private island in the Bahamas. So we're going to be a private island. The idea was maybe a Dante the Don DJ set on the private island.

[E]

Do we have access island?

[F]

Yeah, we have access to property. I'm telling you this. They've been doing this 20 something years. We got the connection.

[G]

Dante does love all that.

[F]

We got all that figured out. But the idea is DANTE the dawn DJing and then some kind of integration of some of the bar stool stuff we love to do, whether it be Olympics, games, whatever on the island or.

[B]

We'Re doing that for the people.

[F]

Sure. I mean, or we can do it with the stoolies.

[B]

Okay.

[F]

But the main idea was Bahamas. Private island.

[B]

Okay.

[F]

The Night three. Grateful Dead night presented by Stella Blue. Coffee.

[B]

Wow.

[E]

Okay, That's.

[B]

That seems like I have to be there.

[I]

That's very good.

[F]

We'll play a Grateful Dead. We don't know which band it would be. There's a lot of options. They're not worried about that. We're gonna have Big Cat pick whatever Grateful Dead show he wants to play. Love that he gets choice of your favorite show. All you.

[B]

Okay.

[F]

And then Stella Blue would be the sponsor of that.

[B]

Okay. Okay.

[F]

Then day four, we would sail back to Miami because I was looking at like a four day, four day kind of deal. All right.

[B]

Seems pretty fun.

[F]

I've got. So that was the little bit of itinerary. Now we've got some talent. The next slide is the talent integration.

[B]

Okay. We're getting a little bit bigger.

[F]

Okay.

[E]

All right, Nick.

[F]

So talent integration. While we were on the ship, got to feature our standup comedy guys that rule. Nick Sass, Francis F. Gates, all our stand up guys. Crush. That would be a huge hit with this. Cody, Luke, of course, Kate.

[E]

Kate, Bernie Mac, of course.

[G]

Girls alive.

[H]

Yeah.

[F]

Brandon, Kate, Tommy Smokes.

[B]

Okay, well.

[G]

Too far.

[F]

I should have wrote eight people. I'm sorry.

[B]

Okay.

[F]

The MOOC's hilarious. I feel bad.

[A]

Don't feel bad.

[F]

No, I mean, y' all know what I mean.

[E]

Yeah, he's who I would leave.

[B]

Don't get her.

[F]

No, I love Moot. Whatever. All right. The potential for live shows like live yak would be unreal. Whether it be yes, on the cruise, using all the amenities we've got with how creative y' all are. Or on the private island also, you know, could you incorporate some podcasts or mostly or whatever. I don't know. That's. This is above my pay grade. But I do think the act would rule on a cruise.

[B]

I gotta. Well, no, you know what? Finish this slide and I have a question.

[F]

Okay. Wonton Don live streaming, backpack around the cruise. For sure.

[J]

For sure.

[F]

Danny Jackal going around interviewing people, kind of stirring the pot like she likes to do.

[I]

Okay.

[A]

Okay.

[F]

These are my ideas. So the ideas that are not mine or say NM on it. And they were suggested to me. So we're just being transparent. On the ideas are mine and they weren't sure. They suggested a Nikki Smokes Anaka singles night, which I thought would be kind of funny.

[J]

Who suggested that?

[F]

The. The trombone.

[J]

Oh, the partner.

[F]

Yeah, yeah, the partner. If it says the end. Look, I'm. If I'm nothing but transparent, I'm not taking credit for anything I didn't think of. They have a basketball court on the ship. So if we wanted to do a basketball attorney, we could do that. He. Even though, you know, obviously we've done that. You could have like, food wise, you could. You could do stuff with Chef Donnie or bring in chefs. You could do pizza night with pizza places. Like we could. They really want to push, like better food, not just cruise food. Like a lot of potential for good food. Also, pardon my cheesesteak we have. That comes later with the sponsor thing, but a potential part of my cheesesteak eating competition I think would be fun. And they also suggested a White Sox day versus Captain Khan, like challenge around the cruise, random activities.

[B]

I have a question. Two questions, actually. One, what are you doing?

[F]

Whatever I'm called to do. I'm gonna be around.

[B]

Okay.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

Sounds like you're having a great time.

[F]

No, I'm gonna be around.

[B]

Is there a talent fee?

[F]

I can't speak for that, but I can.

[B]

Got it.

[F]

But I can. But I do have.

[B]

Cuz like, if I'm telling everyone, you got to go on. You got to go four days and work all four days on a cruise. They should be compensated.

[E]

And I'll just say the yak is going to demand a hefty price though.

[B]

Oh yeah.

[F]

As you should.

[A]

Getting sass and Francis do stand up tough.

[F]

As you should.

[E]

Okay.

[F]

Okay.

[E]

There's.

[B]

Yeah.

[I]

What about ballpark? Like. Like give us. Sounds like you're unauthorized offer.

[F]

Well, here's my thing.

[B]

Sounds like your budget has the yak with Danny Conrad.

[E]

Ben, I think you're going to find half a million to get a yak.

[B]

Okay, well.

[F]

Okay, well, look, all I know. Look. 3,000 stoolies, potentially. I don't know the exact cost, but I know it'd be a few grand a person.

[E]

So.

[J]

Grand.

[F]

So 3,000 and say if it's 2500. Three grand, I mean, you're looking at 7:50 to 900. Right? I mean, I know the overhead is going to be big, but at least we got something coming in, you know?

[B]

Okay. Okay. We're assuming.

[E]

I was.

[B]

I feel like we're maybe doing this entire idea and just no one is making money. Except. Except, like. No. Yeah. No one.

[F]

No one. Don't think that. So bringing in seven, that's not. That's not a. I. I don't.

[E]

I mean, Jammy Buffett's not going to.

[F]

Be free, but I mean, it's like bringing in 750 to 900 and people coming. That's.

[E]

But, but, but my money's got to go out too.

[B]

You realize, like, our. Our talent here time is actually like, we don't just. If someone's like, hey, come do a live show. We wouldn't just go do a live show.

[F]

Understood. Understood.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[F]

No, no, but that's. But I was trying to think like 3,000 people. People paying a few grand.

[B]

All right, we'll figure out the money. Keep going, Keep going.

[F]

Okay, next up, the price charge.

[J]

20 grand or something.

[F]

All right, Sponsor ideas integrating our sponsors, DraftKings. They could. We could do. They have a casino on there with. We could do custom felts and chips. We could do a sports lounge. Their idea, they were asking about Stu, Jerry and Megan. High Noon could be a potential alcohol sponsor. This thing for the pre party on the. On the ship as well as the main music stage. Pink Whitney as well is like the official vodka drink of the trip. I feel like that's an obvious integration with people still drinking on the trip. The Pardon My Cheesesteak could be. We could have Pardon My Cheesesteaks all over the cruise. We could have an eating competition. Stella Blue coffee all over the ship, as well as the Grateful Dead night for the obvious Stella Blue reference. I think that's pretty organic. Organic. And then I think late night raising canes. Let's have some chicken strips after these. All right.

[I]

All right.

[B]

I think a new title for this presentation is just Wouldn't it be Sweet?

[F]

Maybe so.

[J]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. Like, wouldn't it be sweet yeah, maybe.

[G]

We want to stray away from cruise food. We're gonna have cheesesteaks with vodka.

[B]

Wouldn't it be sweet?

[F]

It would be sweet.

[B]

Yeah. Like custom felts. Wouldn't it be sweet?

[F]

Yeah. All right, and then now. Okay, so now the picture thing. I, I, I, I've got a Grateful.

[B]

Oh, wow. Sample.

[F]

Got a Grateful Death.

[H]

Is that on a cheese steak?

[A]

That's on a.

[C]

What is this?

[F]

I don't know what it's on. They, I tried. I had a High Noon logo I was trying to put on there folding instructions.

[B]

You know we can't just use their logos, right?

[F]

Well, this, this is a stock logo, right?

[B]

No, I'm saying, like, on the. We can't just be like, okay, yeah, yeah.

[F]

The next logo I have was.

[B]

Yeah, okay. All right. Now we're cooking. Yep.

[F]

But I couldn't find that logo.

[B]

It's hard to find.

[E]

Would be hard to find that.

[B]

Really hard to find.

[C]

Wait, what couldn't you find?

[F]

Couldn't find the yak logo. Pictures. I gave you pictures.

[C]

I don't know, but what couldn't you find?

[F]

A lot of things.

[B]

The yak logo, KB Bar. Would we ever find something like that?

[A]

I, what did you.

[B]

I've been looking everywhere for it.

[F]

I searched on the stock. I, I, I Googled how to add pictures to a PowerPoint hit insert and stock images and search, and that he.

[G]

Was using the PowerPoint database.

[J]

There it is.

[B]

Got it.

[F]

All right. And then I got a Jimmy Buffett picture.

[B]

Oh, wait. Oh, that is him. That's him. Was this, Was this a black and a third of your slide presentation was just these pictures?

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. All right. Yeah.

[F]

And then I said, the pirate ship hits the sea. Who's coming with us?

[I]

Oh, and then we, I, like, you.

[B]

Left us on a cliffhanger.

[F]

There you go. You gotta always leave them wanting more.

[B]

And you actually, you made it perfectly accurate because there's no one underneath it yet.

[F]

If you build it, they will come. I believe. I think there's, I mean, I really do think there's a lot of good ideas here.

[C]

What's the next step, Ben? Zoom meeting.

[F]

Yeah, the next step would be a zoom meeting to go over logistics that are so far above my head when it comes to throwing live events and stuff at this company, but I do. My thing is I, I truly believe in my heart of hearts that Stewie's.

[B]

Would come, that I have no question about it. I just don't again, know how we'd make money on it.

[F]

Okay, well, like I said, my thought was if it's 3,000 stories and this thing costs a few grand, that's like.

[C]

How much is that?

[F]

Could that be 900k?

[J]

Make it cost more, right?

[F]

Yeah, let's make it cost like we'd have. We'd have to.

[B]

One million, one million. One million a person.

[A]

People that run the boat and the crew of the boat and whatnot. Take a cut of that.

[F]

Well, there's going to be overhead for sure. That's why we got to get sponsor.

[A]

But if sponsor pink Whitney, pard my cheese steak.

[B]

And that's us.

[F]

That's us. But I think we could find other sponsors. I think this idea. There's buzz. I think a lot of people love this idea. People love, you know, love to come hang out with us for a few.

[J]

Is there a hot tub on the cruise ship?

[F]

Hell yeah, there's a hot tub on the cruise. Dude, this cruise they got.

[B]

Is there a water slide?

[E]

Water slide.

[F]

There's everything.

[I]

Is there girls?

[C]

Yeah. What's that going to be like?

[J]

Yeah, that babes.

[H]

That's it.

[F]

I feel like people, people would come.

[B]

Can we make it a hot girls only?

[F]

I'm not here to judge. All women are beautiful in the eyes of God.

[B]

What if I said we can do this idea but you have to stand like. Like a roller coaster. It's like you have to be this high. You have to stand at the front and be like. You have to be this hot and you judge them.

[C]

You want to give them all women are beautiful, give them a sample.

[I]

Or like what about girls get in like girls get in free or something like that just to kind of. Or like half off just, just so they can kind of get through the door type of deal.

[B]

And I don't want any fat guys either. So we're gonna have to. We're gonna have to stop that.

[E]

Well, half of us can't go.

[B]

Yeah, I know.

[E]

Damn.

[F]

This wouldn't be. Probably get 20 or 30 more off.

[G]

I gotta gain some weight.

[B]

Oh man.

[F]

But look, obviously this preliminary idea and a lot has to be buttoned up. It's above me. But I do believe we have something that could work.

[B]

I'm not gonna say no. I'm not gonna say no.

[E]

It's not a terrible.

[B]

It's amazing.

[F]

Maybe we gotta. I gotta get out and hit the sales and probably bring in some non bar stuff.

[J]

What about the. What about the meny fans though? Those, those people out there that like.

[F]

Want to see people come.

[J]

What are you gonna do for. What are you promising to the miny fans that want to Come on the cruise with Mincy.

[B]

Oh, what about this? Miny drives the boat.

[J]

Oh, now we're talking.

[F]

I'm down to drive the boat. I just hope we. We can come back from.

[C]

But what are some things you could do?

[B]

Drive the boat.

[F]

Drive the boat. Lifeguard at the pool.

[E]

You do like so sit by the pool.

[F]

A late night lifeg.

[I]

Or if like, you have a limbo.

[F]

Play some indoor tennis. If they got like an indoor.

[B]

Oh, yeah. What about. What could you play some poker?

[F]

I could. They have poker. Maybe bobbing. Bobbing for apples competition.

[A]

You could race people on the water slide.

[F]

Who could beat me in the bobbing for apples?

[J]

Cannonball into the pool.

[F]

We had. Oh, they did suggest. Not my idea. They had a k cannonball idea. That was not me. That was someone else.

[B]

He just does a cannonball.

[F]

But who can beat K in a cannonball?

[J]

Oh, that's great idea.

[C]

Got to do that.

[F]

That was. That was an idea idea by them.

[B]

Okay. It's a maybe.

[F]

Okay.

[A]

That's pretty good.

[F]

Not a total fail, right?

[B]

Let's go.

[D]

No, no.

[B]

Definitely not a total fail. Let's go to the next steps.

[F]

Okay.

[B]

Which are?

[F]

Which are. I think the next step would be a zoom call with this potential partner and company with our, you know, higher ups to see if logistics this is possible on money.

[B]

Love it.

[F]

I think that's like you said, it comes down to dollars and cents, and I get that. Especially with all the talent we have here and commitments and time and families. I get all that. That was why I said four days total.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

Because nobody. You can't commit to five, seven days. Here, try proof of concept. That can't happen.

[E]

I know he ran it by you, but I feel like he should at some point mention it to Dave Portnoy.

[B]

Yeah, I think we should get Dave on a zoom and have you pitch this to him.

[F]

Whatever we got to do.

[E]

Okay.

[B]

I'll get that set up.

[F]

All right.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Thanks, Ben.

[J]

Good stuff.

[B]

Great work, too.

[F]

Appreciate that.

[B]

Is tape back there still?

[H]

Yep.

[B]

Tay.

[C]

What?

[B]

How did that go?

[C]

The.

[B]

The pictures threw him for a loop. Yeah, that was tough.

[F]

I should have left the. He thought all pictures were stored on the computer.

[I]

Oh.

[B]

So he googled how to add a.

[F]

Picture, and it was like, insert.

[B]

Go to your pictures. But he had done.

[J]

Ah.

[F]

He's like, there's no pictures of the yak on this computer.

[B]

You have to go to the Internet. Yeah. Lander, bathroom break.

[I]

I think he deserves a cut if it. If it goes big, like he deserves a big piece of the pie. Sure.

[B]

I really. I'm. I'm more interested in this. If we can figure out a way for him to drive the boat, I think that would be a.

[I]

It has to be a big ass.

[B]

Yeah. Captain Mincy.

[I]

Yeah.

[B]

So there's a little danger in it.

[H]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, I don't want to go on a cruise and just have fun. I want danger.

[I]

Yeah.

[H]

He's got to park the boat when we get to the island. We can't get off unless he parks the boat.

[B]

One person has to board the ship with COVID O.

[J]

That's.

[F]

What was that?

[E]

Poop cruise.

[H]

A barstool cruise.

[F]

For sure.

[H]

Be a poop cruise.

[B]

Like monkey pox. Just a little bit of danger.

[J]

Eliminator cruise.

[E]

Yeah.

[J]

It's just.

[I]

You have to find them a wheel.

[A]

A giant wheel of everybody on the cruise, and they spin it once a day, max. 3,000 days.

[D]

I think he's undercutting the price. Also looking at similar cruises. The Jericho cruise is like. I think what we spawn this conversation on their nicest rooms are $3,000. Like, the highest level of.

[B]

Yeah. Again, it's. It's. Listen, I'm gonna. I'm gonna hear him out and see if we can get another meeting. But it is contingent on all of us providing free labor.

[G]

Well, not to mention every. Everyone's flights. Yeah.

[B]

We don't. Listen. It's just overhead.

[D]

I think he's considering it. Like, what if we did barstool camp, but instead of barstool camp? Barstool cruise. But Barstow Camp relies on having a huge sponsor.

[B]

It's the. Wouldn't it be sweet?

[I]

Yeah.

[A]

Get our Internet to work on land.

[F]

Right.

[B]

It's like.

[D]

Oh, yeah. Not even the tech side of, like, let's do a yak from sea.

[B]

Like, this idea. I'm not poo pooing it. The idea would be sweet.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You could actually. Actually execute. It feels like we're far away from that.

[D]

Yeah.

[G]

I don't know. He's.

[B]

But wouldn't it be sweetest?

[J]

We've taken the first step, though.

[B]

Yeah.

[J]

So there.

[A]

He'd have a blast.

[I]

That sound lady was getting handsy with.

[B]

Who's this John?

[E]

We got some creatures at this company, man.

[B]

Who's Johnny Trombone? Who's talking to, like, Mincy's, like, the president of Johnny.

[C]

What?

[A]

Johnny Trombone's a recurring character. There was like, when he was pitching a mook about following along his Mexico trip on. On mooc. Can't sleep. He was like, yeah. Johnny Trombone might film.

[E]

Might be somebody he made up that's.

[G]

Like a cartoon musician.

[B]

Is Min just talking to himself?

[I]

Tyler Dir.

[A]

He makes soap.

[B]

He doesn't exist. Oh, man. Did I do DraftKings Casino? I did not.

[D]

Also, his estimate was a zero off. If there 3,000 stoolies paying $3,000 a ticket is $9,000,000, not $900,000.

[B]

Oh, so we could. Oh, so now we're making money.

[D]

Oh.

[A]

Oh, he just stumbled.

[D]

If 3,000 people bought tickets at $3,000 a pop, that's $9 million. Okay, I guess you would throw, like, the food and drink vouchers and, well.

[B]

And also the cruise ship.

[A]

That's gotta be expensive, right?

[I]

3,000 was the nicest room.

[B]

Well, let's just make every night room. Let's just say every room's a suite. Every room is sweet. Sweet.

[E]

Oh, man.

[D]

Offer one bonus that means Mincey will come and visit you in your room. And one bonus that means Mincey definitely won't come and Visit you. Charge $500 for each.

[E]

Oh, man.

[B]

Okay. Good show. We got to do some three on three.

[A]

Oh, excited for it.

[B]

Roan, you're here tomorrow.

[I]

Here tomorrow.

[B]

Love it.

[D]

Need Plinko ideas.

[B]

We need Plinko ideas. We need to come up with that tomorrow.

[D]

Activities for San Francisco.

[B]

Activities for San Francisco. Cisco, Ron will be here. We'll do that tomorrow.

[I]

Can't wait.

[B]

Get that done. And then Chef Donnie's got his dream presentation on Thursday.

[C]

Nice.

[A]

This will change the world.

[B]

He said that? He had an incredible one last night.

[E]

He invented a new way to dream, guys.

[B]

Invented a new way to dream.

[G]

Yeah, can't miss that.

[B]

All right, let's spin the wheel.

[I]

Is that tomorrow? Chef Donnie's tomorrow.

[B]

He is doing it on Thursday.

[D]

Thursday.

[B]

All right, see you for tomorrow.

[C]

Straws.

[E]

Shout out.

[D]

Roan. Sorry about the Internet. Sounds like there was some sort of massive issue. I don't know what. It all worked itself out in the end. Full feed will be on the podcast if you desperately missed anything in there. All right, love you guys. See you in a motorbike.
