I'm the coolest one out of all of us. That was incredible. Like, really, really slow. Yeah. Yeah. Hello. Tak. We're talking. Oh. Sellbluecoffee.com sellbucoffee.com ready to drink cans, cold brew. My brain just top grounds. All of it. All of it. All good coffee. Brandon. Brandon, not a coffee guy. Drinks still blue coffee. Really? Two a day. Yeah. Two a day. Two a day. I like the cold. The cold ones. Yeah. Yeah. So go get it right now. We were talking. So Zach is here, Dana's here. KB and Nick are out. I knew Nick was out. Didn't know KB is out. I love Kyle Bauer to death. He's one of your favorites. It might be your favorite. He might be my number one favorite. You guys all see how I react to him. You gush, just stare at him, love him, lust for him. Yeah, if need him. The entire tailgate Nick sorted tail was me trying to send a hidden message to Kyle that I'm willing and able to leave my family for him. You're willing to stretch this whichever way he wants it. Yeah. That was all that was. Those are all hired actors. Yeah. Yeah, and I was just trying to send Kyle a message. Hey, look, we could have a life together. You were staring at him throughout the entire process with all that said, the guy refusing to tell us when he's going to be out pisses me off to no end. He told me it like, he, I walked by him this morning, I was like, oh, are you out today? And he goes, oh, yeah, I am. And I. So I have to bring it up to him. I have to tell him, like, be like, hey, are you out? I have to ask him. Because Nick told you two days ago. Nick told me two days ago. And part of this is because part of my anger right now in this moment is as they were leaving the office today, they just were talking tremendous amounts of about the Juggernauts. And I was offended, man. In the arena, they're like, you guys stink. That other team stunk. Yeah. And we needed a burp today, and we needed a burp. So. So he'll be back tomorrow. We're gonna, we're gonna. That, that's all aside. What a night. We got a lot to unpack. I'm so sore. I couldn't believe you're my horse. How many people were watching? It was. We filled in. I was like, holy. We filled the Oklahoma City Thunder Arena. It's almost like I should have been doing this the whole time. Yeah. Yeah. God damn. It was that brutal to watch us lose that game. And agonizing, agonizing. Terrible slow motion car crash you saw coming towards the end. It just. When did it all turn? Well, we all know. We all know. We all know the moment it turned. Yeah. If you have the clip, tj, the moment it turned was when white boy Rick, with three minutes left and up eight, which, again, three minutes left, up eight in a, in a men's rec league with no shot clock is like a 99.9% win probability. It's ready to go. And Rick had a monster block that he then celebrated like he had just won the Super Bowl. Me and Tate both looked at him and said, what are you doing? I should have called the timeout in the moment, but I want to burn my last. I didn't know he was going to do that. I didn't. We were all screaming at him, all right, play it, TJ. And then that was a turnover, and I think it was a three on that possession. Fouled them and then a three. I thought the ball had gone out of bounds because of the way he reacted. Yeah, I, I, I, I was so confused. Yeah. So, so confused. So that. That was when it started to crumble. And listen, I think there's definitely some blame on me, although, you know, unbiased people Would say, hey, this team lost by 40 points every single game. Then I came in and got them to overtime and my plan actually worked. Yeah. Not take a single three. Or the fact that one of their star players can't even get through a segment talking about it without eating a Slim Jim. Yeah. Getting out of breath. Well, we. Listen, I saw. I saw the team on Monday when we practiced. I said on this show we were the worst conditioned team in the history of basketball. So the plan was to slow it down. As we did, we did save for Last shot with 2 minutes left in the first half. And that way. And I told everyone before the team, you take a three pointer, you're out of the game. I told Tate, don't, Tate. Tate isn't a very good shooter. I said, tate, your job is to just control the game. Possession wise. We did all that. We shot 60% from the field. You did everything you could. This is coaching, though. I mean, this is. This is how coaching works, is. Yeah, you get done and you look at it and you're like, I. What else could I have done? And so the big thing that I look at myself when I looked in the mirror this morning and I said, hey, what could I have done better? I. I would say we might have been able. We might have not wanted to stall the last three minutes the way we did. But even that was a good strategy. We just had a fucking rockhead Nikki Smokes on the floor, who just taking shots. Yeah. So your one directive was don't take shots. I said, and he took three. Yeah. So, Brandon, I don't know if you watch the game. The end of the game, we're up with three minutes left. There's no shot clock. The whole idea is if we can hold the ball, they're going to have to foul. I know we can't shoot free throws, so we'll get in the double bonus. But, like, eventually they're gonna have to start following. We're gonna get in the double bonus. Yeah. Two times under two minutes. Nikki smokes just shot the ball like 15 seconds into the possession. Missed both. He was trying to be the hero. So we never get in the double bonus. And what happens is Ebo and Connor miss front ends of free throws. And we need one more point to win the game. And listen, by miss, I mean that Evo mess was. Yeah, it was bad. That was one of the worst messages. And here's the other. Here's the other problem. I. Ebo is not. Nikki Smokes is a better shooter than Ebo. Nikki Smokes probably should have been in the game. I couldn't trust Nikki Smokes to not shoot. Yeah. Also EO. After the second one, I had to pull him. EO's better at everything else. I would. I would defend the first one. He was it. It was like 40 seconds of. He was three feet away from the basket with nobody there but Steven. We were. The whole point was they have to start fouling and we get in the double bonus. But we can't shri. I mean that should. That should be. But the whole point, the whole reason we. You see what I'm saying? We can't shoot free throws. We need at least two every time. I. Yes, but we have to go through the one on ones to get to the double. We went. We were right it. We were one away from being in double bonus. I think that was. Yeah, we were. They had nine fouls. White Sox. Dave lit us up. Yeah. What did he do? Say no? Their star player. I think he had 30. I know their star player look like White Sox. Dave. Yeah. Player is White Sox. What are we talking about? He was such a good shooter. Brandon. Brandon. He was a lefty shooter. White Sox. He literally was White Sox. But I probably should have kept the pedal on the metal, but I just didn't. I thought we had run out of gas. I mean, the second half we kind of just never had gas. We were actually being a game that's competitive though. Right. That was really fun. So we lost. You know how sad this is that like I'm. I'm coping with all this stuff that I. I basically said to myself on the drive in this morning, like the, the. The path of a champion is like, you gotta. You gotta learn how to lose small. You know, I mean, you lose small before you win small, then you can win big. I'm sure we had never been in game pressure before. That scratched an itch though, for. I'm sure a lot of us of like, okay, it's fun to play games that we don't get blown out. Right. Okay. Game pressure. Does that change your perspective on playing the playoff game? You guys going to play? Well, we're going to play the one seed, so. And now we're not playing the playoff game. You don't want to play. I already like, we have to throw a team out there. Not. No, just for respect on the league. For the league. No. Tell the league the coach said that if we don't win a game, we're not going to the playoffs there. No playoffs should ever have. No. But the documentary is done. It's more just for out of respect for, for the other team that's showing up. I don't want to just no show. No, no, no. Five guys. Just send five guys. Like, that's the ending of the documentary. That no showing is fine as long as you give proper notice. Okay, that's true. Do you think those guys are going to be like, oh, the only way no showing sucks is if you show up and the other team's not there. They're probably really excited to like beat the out of us again. Yeah. What if you beat the one seed though? No, it's the, the season, Brandon. We couldn't. We can't win a game. Wow, that's easy, Nikki. Nicky Smokes, the biggest head case I've ever. I don't understand it. I truly am because he had moments in the game where he actually shot and he shot well. And if you look at the box score, pull up the box score. We got rid of every box score. The juggernauts have had this season has been Nikki Smokes. One for ten from three. I cleaned that up. He didn't shoot bad. He just. I'm so. He doesn't. I had to keep benching him. He was three for six. He just, he, he's never played basketball in his life. I had. I've been curated four separate occasions. Brandon. Is he like that every sitting him down? Is that every game with him? Like every time you post up? Every time you'd post up, Nikki Smokes would cut straight to you and his defender would be like, yeah, I guess if I'm standing, that's. Might as well try to just steal it from Dana. That's my number one problem is I've been saying, year I'm a post guy, I need the post. And you saw it. We isolated me in the post and I was a beast. But when we don't have a problem. No, the problem is when we don't have a coach to like tell us what to do, it just gets so messy. And then I'll get the ball and there'll be seven people around me. But White Sox, David and Mikey Betts smirking. I, I have something I would like to say. I respect it. I have no problem. Me neither. Smirking. I mean, he, he deserved to smirk. He didn't. I did tell him before that. So when we got there, I told Mikey Betts. I was like, you're gonna, you're gonna play tonight. And then we did a warm up shooting right before the stream started where I do this warm up where everyone lines in a single file line. You start by shooting two footers. Just. I want to see the guys get the ball in the hoop. I wish we got two footers. I, we might. Can we find the footage? I don't know where. I don't think we got it. Somebody tweeted it. Who? I don't know. I know. That was, that was a different warm up. There was cameras there in a row. Was there not cameras there. I don't think we caught that. We need to get that. Okay, someone get on that. If we have that on. What you got? It wasn't on the stream. It wasn't. It wasn't on the stream. But they had cameras out. I know. I'm the only one that has it. What was it? It was him. So the drill is you shoot two footers. Everyone's got to make a two footer. Then you take two steps back. We took two steps back, four footers. So if you make it, you come out of the line. So Mikey Betts was the only one who hadn't made it. He took. I'm. I don't want to, I don't want to do hyperbole. So I'm going to say 12. I think it was 12. I think it was 20. Easily double digits. 12, four footers that he missed in a row. Four footers. Yes, four footers. It was not. He's not exaggerating. It was. It almost got to a point where it looked like he was playing the carney game. That you can't win. Yes. The way the ball was rolling out of the hoop. And at that point I was like, this is just, this was, this was just. I have it on my hard drive somewhere. We gotta find it. I'll go find it after this. Or do you want me get. Yeah, yeah, go, go get someone on it. We got. I'm the only one that has it. I'm the only one has access. So I know you can't give someone your hard drive. No, it's a mess. What do you mean? I'm very messy with my footage. My hard drive is very like if I told them where to find it, they wouldn't be able to find messy footage. You just bring your laptop down here? Yeah, have someone bring their laptop. Okay. Yeah. Could someone bring my laptop? My orange hard drive that's plugged in? Yeah, get that hard drive. It's messy. But I, I, I, I cr. I should have kept the team together because I think the overtime. We weren't. Our head wasn't in after the Last. So it was not. But we did not have next place. That was on me. That's 100. The only time is 100. The play was gonna work. The Connor Griffin play was going. Did I? Yes, it was gonna work. He was gonna elaborate for everybody. No, it was gonna. He just got fouled. Ebo got fouled. He says he didn't get fouled too. He says it was a bad call. By the way, I have another Slim Jim. Yeah, of course, Dana. Speaking of the refs, we have one of the refs here. I invited him into the office. Can we get him in here? I would like to talk to him. He's actually here. Yeah, he's right. He's. He's. He's here. We brought him in. Was anyone giving the refs a hard time this time? I kept on. Yeah, there he is. I kept on yelling. I've always wanted. That's the ref. No, where. Oh, him. Yeah. I thought he was the guy in the back. Oh, yeah, that is the ref. I kept on yelling. One of, like, there's two things that I was looking forward to doing as a coach and I always want to do. One was the old Bo Ryan. Bo Ryan used to coach Wisconsin, and he would. If someone made a mistake, like five seconds in the game, he'd pull them. He'd pull a starter. So Nikki Smokes had to turn over, like 30 seconds of the game. I pulled him. I always want to do that. That felt great, didn't it? Felt so good. And the other was our ref here. What's your name? Sorry? Andrew. Andrew, here, put this. Well, not a great job. I kept on yelling to Andrew every time there's a call I disagree with. I'd be like, you owe me one, ref. And I'd be like, you owe me two. That's two. I don't think he was listening to me at all because he's on the far court. I was listening. Okay. I also told you before the game that it was my birthday. That didn't help. Yeah, it wasn't my birthday. I was just hoping that you'd be like, oh, it's this guy's birthday. Andrew. What? What? What happened at the end of the game? So at the end of the game, pull that mic up to your face. Yeah, pull the mic closer to your face. Thank you for coming in. Of course. Hey, happy to be here. You're a tank. You know, I played a little football back in the day. All right, there we go, Andrew. But at the end of the game, I'm obviously in the Backcourt, so I'm not in the front court where the foul occurred. So we come off the timeout there with six seconds to go, and I went home after the games. I had three more after the Juggernauts game last night. And I'm watching on YouTube, and you know, our scorekeeper, he does a pretty good job. He's been there a few times. Six seconds happens. You can tell the foul happens right before the buzzer. They make the first miss the second, we go to overtime. I don't know how we got in that hole to be in an overtime game situation. Was there any part of you? Because you're obviously. I mean, I would assume you. You. You're. You're here right now. You. You know us. You. You are a barstool fan. Was there any part of you that was like, hey, for the. For the show here, let's just call it games. Let's get these guys a win. As much as I would have loved to get you guys the first win in your first game. Coaching the Ugger Nuts. Yes. On my fake birthday. I know it was on your fake birth. I definitely wanted to see it happen with me as the ref. Yeah. My first Juggernauts officiating game. You know, I've been refing in the league for quite some time, but, you know, didn't get one of the Yugger Nuts games yet this year, so I was, you know, hopeful in the back of my head. But I'm. You're a refer. Ref. Got to respect that big cat. But think about the call that you could have made, how electric it would have been. Waving it off. Waving it off. He's a he. He's. Were you the one who called the foul? I did not call the foul. Here's my issue there. It was there. Also the part that I. When I watch it back, I think the clock didn't start correctly, but there also was, like, five fouls before. Yeah. Y' all found. I can't be that mad. All right, here's. Here's. Here it is. Six seconds left. Foul. Yeah. Foul, Foul, foul. Oh, so that was. Yeah. Also shout out. Shout out, white boy. Rick, watch Rex just not doing anything. Rick's a big guy. Yeah. Go get a rebound. I'll be over here to celebrate. Crazy tweet about this. He was crazy defending himself. No, no, he said jokes. Yeah. He didn't blame the refs. Like smokes. Yeah. His tweets. I mean, what about that call on Smokes? Like, it was definitely a good no call on my end yeah, no, that was a total. He pushed off two guys. Yeah, yeah, I'm standing by my call. Okay. No call, but yeah. So how was it? Like, I feel like I wasn't too hard on you guys. No, not at all. I had worse. I was just calling. I was just telling you how many you owed me. Did you know that you were walking into this? I did. So I actually was not even supposed to be at that gym yesterday morning until I got a text saying, hey, Andrew, you want these games? And I knew it was your guys league, so I was like, yeah, I'll do it. And then I see the tweets, like it's gonna be live streams. Then I'm getting there. I'm like, geez. I walk in, I'm like, oh, we got cameras on. And obviously we had to start the game. And you know, I was there by myself to start the game and yet multiple cameras. I'm like, oh, the heat's on. And then. Yeah, because the other ref didn't show up till late. Yeah. So you really wouldn't go back if you could change it. I mean, I do respect it. You gotta respect that big cup. I wish I important. But remember when we had to move the scoreboard at the beginning of the game for the stream? Yeah. So it wasn't even in my peripheral there. Oh, it's like I can't even see the time play on the court making sure everything's okay. It wasn't even in my view at that point. And also it was the right call and I think he called. He does a good job on the scoreboard. It was before. I've done multiple games before. It was before the buzzer. Sounds like it's just. I think we just blew it. Sounds like you. You guys did a great job. They did do a great job. Scoreboard man. And the refs did a great job. What do you think, Zach? I appreciate the integrity in his refereeing, certainly. Yeah. I mean you called a good game otherwise. I just. And again, we were so mentally weak that we were just so hung up on the six seconds that we were cooked in overtime. If you could lie, bet the game in overtime, it was the most. The easiest. This other team's going to win. The exact opposite of next play mentality. Correct. The entire team, we all were just higher team was bitching. All of them. I don't know how you guys are owing six. We're bad because they've only played. They've only played six games. Yeah. You mean like how we're not owing. Can You. Can you. Then I saw the other teams after your game, and I'm like, you guys could easily be three and three. Okay. But can you at least attest to the fact that this is very solid competition? Like, there's some teams that are really. Yeah. Yeah. It's. It's one of our better leagues for sure. Thank you. And I like all the haters who are saying we stink in other leagues. Yeah. In that league. So, yeah, they're pretty. Thank you. Yeah. Ref. Andrew. And by the way, the reason why we were even close in that game. You saw it. That we were playing at a snail's pace. Oh, yeah. Like, I'm counting, like, forever. Whenever we got Tate going up and down the court. What is going on? I'm like, your game plan must have been working. I mean. Yeah. You something. Yeah. We just went as slow as slow could be. Limiting as. I mean, if I could have so slow. Thought I was gonna have to call a backcourt violence. Yeah. It would have been bad for Live stream. But there was a part of me when we up. When we up. When we went up to nothing, I was like, let's just go corners just. And just drain this clock. Which would have been. It would have been fun. It would have been fun to win a game. But we didn't win a game. I mean, you guys were using Rick and Tate. I know. In the paint. I know. Yeah. All right, Andrew, thank you. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Wish you guys luck in the playoffs against the 1 seed. No, we're not. We're not playing. Oh, yeah. You don't get to play in the playoffs. You don't win a game. That's my rule. I know. Hey, but if you stuck to your game plan, you might be able to beat anyone. That's just not true. All right, well, does that rob you guys of a game chat? Do you get paid by the game? No. It won't affect much, though. Okay. All right. All right. There you go. Have you had to kick anyone out of the league? What's the worst that someone's been. I've had a few technical calls. I had a guy come up, you know, get in my face after we gave him two technicals in that game, telling me, like, I'm the worst ref he's ever seen. Where'd you learn how to reflect? And you kind of just laugh. I like the smile. Laugh. Have fun with it. Yeah, I've played the sport. I've played in the league. That sucks, though, when people play this league. This league. Oh, God damn. Yeah. Played in the league. Played in the league. You never know. That's all right. Well, thank you. Thank you, Andrew. Appreciate it. Good job, Refin last night. Yep. Thanks, Andrew. What do you think, Zach? I think Andrew did a phenomenal job. Good. He did. But what if they make a playoff? What if. What if? That's what I just. Just. They don't want to hear it. They don't. You didn't watch last night then. Oh, boy. But you'll never know if you don't. Zach. You guys, you gotta go hug him. I gotta give him a hug. Tell him. Hey, you forgot Andrew. You forgot your hug. Yeah. What a nice fella. Where is he? You better call him. We gotta. There he is. Oh, get in there, Zach. Zach, get in there. Get in there, Zach. Stephen blocking. There you go. Good guy. Yeah, good guy. Make sure Andrew gets some ice cream. Hey, what are we looking at here? Hey, Rick. Hey, guys. Just totally froze on that last possession, too. Instead of crashing the glass. Frozen the clutch moments like I did my whole basketball career. Discussed it with myself. I'm a champion. But right now, I'm a loser. You're not a loser, Rick. Get that out of your head. You're a warrior. Says Smokes. Rick says, love you. Smoke says love you too, brother. For life. 4L guys. That's what you guys kiss after that. We're taking this one hard. Yeah, Lost hard. You look like a death eater. Right? Kind of brings you back down to earth after Indiana. Yeah, we're back down the earth right now. What was going through your head with the celebration? I was just. Emotions were running high all game. I was screaming like an idiot after any good play I made. And yeah, I got that block. It was probably one of the coolest blocks I've ever pulled off and just froze. Started screaming and I lost this. The game. None of. Like, we don't miss the free throws. We don't have like the six second controversy. If I just held onto the ball there. Yeah. The ball. Or like this is on me. You not going for a rebound at the end of the game. Yeah, that. Yeah, that you seeing you, I didn't really notice it, but yeah, terrible. Were you. Were you getting ready to celebrate? Is that why you froze? Hey, I just like you had a. So I. I contested the initial layup and then I guess in my mind, like, that was it. And it just kept going and kept going. It was the longest 6 seconds ever. Look at you. What am I doing? What am I doing? You're not even close to the action. No, I'M not. You're not the only one, though. You're not the only one. Yeah, he's a warrior. You're the biggest guy on the floor when we could use a rebound. Yeah, there was that. Yeah. It's okay, Rick. Sorry. You played great. Yeah, you did play great. Played awesome. You hit all your. You hit almost all your free throws. Six for seven. I. That's. I'll take that all day. 100 from the. 100 from the five assists. Yep. Red shorts. Didn't get a single field goal on me, but there we go. It doesn't matter. It's inexcusable. This is fuel for next. Yep. I'm gonna watch. I'm fuel for spring. Oh, we're playing that. Watch those two clips every single day this off season. Oh, we're film. Film study. That's going to be on loop. Okay. What not to do, boys. Can we hang. Can we, like, hang a picture of it in the locker room? Might have to. Yeah. Yeah. Motivation. Did you guys bring champagne last night? No, I did not. Oh, I heard a rumor that maybe you did. No, I mean lost Nikki might have. I don't know. Okay. I feel like he probably always brings champagne, though. Yeah, I like that. Jacob brought a date. Yeah, that was very funny. The cream queen, the chat was calling it. Oh, no. Cream queen. Oh, no. Yeah. Front row courtside. Courtside seats. How romantic. All right, Rick. Hey, listen, you fought your. Your balls off. All right, thanks, guys. Don't. Don't beat yourself up. We lost as a team. We all had a part in it till springtime, boys. He's pretty upset. The only one who won last night was Mikey Betts. And again, I have no problem with him smiling because he should be rooting against us. Oh, because I didn't play him. Andrew got a cream. Yeah, Andrew got it. Look at that face. There you go, Andrew. Look at that face on Mikey Betts. Oh, I'm so happy. That's like the wit face. Did you find the. The. No. There's like two misses. You can see that. Oh, but it was a. I think it was 15. 15 in a row. Yeah. Mikey Betts, his wife. That text message he posted, his wife being like, you drove 120 minutes or two hours to not play in the game? Why didn't they play you in the game? I was planning on putting him in as a human victory cigar. That was my plan. What about this? What if we drew up a play for Mikey Betts? The ultimate redemption at the end of the game to hit the three cold off the bench. Yeah. Imagine. Would have been incredible. That would have been a story arc. I'm bad we didn't get to see the Connor. Turns out, Connor, I had it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I was, like, so proud of myself for thinking on the fly of my content brain just firing. I was like, oh, yeah. We're down to. It was a win. Win for you. I was like, this is. This is perfect. This could not be more perfect. Yeah. And then either you drop the winning play or you drop the winning play and Connor misses. Yeah. Both are wins. Yep. I was so. I was so excited. Screen evo. Reject the screen. Go baseline. Dana, you're sitting in back street for Connor. Spot up into three. Okay. Go baseline. Connor, three. Oh, it would have been great. Would have been so good. Just a shot attempt would have been great. Oh, man. Well, turns out, did you really like watching us try to be athletic live? So, yeah, I'll be doing that more often in the future. Were those guys. I didn't. I know Ebo got fouled, but were they capable of pulling off the instructions you just gave them? That play is. It's called Hammer. Right. And it's a play that I. The first time, I probably was taught it by a coach. I was in third grade. Right. So I felt like they would be able to run it. Was it shaping up like. I don't know. I haven't. I haven't talked to the boys. I don't know how the. Our side was ready to roll. Okay. And you were pretty key to that. I was my guy. I could tell was good. Was going to get screened. Okay. Good Honor was going to be wide open. Any thoughts from you, Che? You played well, Che. Yeah, I played fine. I thought. I thought it was our best game this season by far. It was fun to play with lead. I thought Dana played it excellent. I thought Rick played great. I. I will defend Tate. He's getting crushed because the box score, but yeah. You told him not to shoot. Yeah. I thought Tay was really good. Yeah. Everything, right? He did everything. Yeah. And I told him that because he. He's not really a shooter anyway. And I was like, don't worry about shooting. Just control the game. Those are box watchers. Yeah. Not game watchers. They didn't watch the game. No, we were. If you. Once you see the documentary, you're going to see when Tate's not there, how bad we are at bringing up the ball. Like, I went to the game last week. We didn't have Tate, and it was one of the worst basketball games. I've ever won. Have you seen this big cat? Just watch Connor Griffin the whole time. Finally had the offense. Oh my God. Are you kind of upset you don't have one more game to coach to see if you could do it a little bit. You've kind of hinted that basically everything you've been saying now and then the group talks last night. Everything you're saying is leaning. It sounds like you're coming back for years. I got a taste for it. Yeah. It's fun, isn't it? It's fun. Well, I will say the, the reason why I would. Would come back is that's the most coachable group of guys. They. They bought in right away. Even Smokes. Yeah. Yeah. They practice hard. Smokes didn't take a three. The end of the game he did want to be hero. He definitely was thinking in his head this is going to be me being the hero and scoring these points. Seemed like they were all really affected by your. Your quote unquote personal text to them saying they're all the best on the team. Yeah, well, I actually then reversed it when I, when we. Before the game, I said, hey, now you guys know I've said this to everyone individually and then I reversed. I said but I meant it. Each one of you is the most important person in this game. Wow. Just trying to use a little motivation. Fired up Tate said that he is detected like Big Cat said, I'm the most important guy. How long is the off season? Yeah, how long is it? I mean I'm sure we could sign up for one in like two weeks, but I'm probably not. Probably the spring I would say is next. Let these episodes come April. We could do March right after March Madness. Well, no, that's not possible. March Madness is. Yeah, let's call it April. Yeah, it's called April. That gives us plenty of time to work on our mistakes. Are there just constantly league starting out there? Well, I was thinking we could maybe we're talking maybe we could do a softball in the summer. Yep. I would make this an intramural. A whole intramural type of thing. We just got to figure out a way to not have a target on our back. Flag football. Because that is part of the problem here is that we're just a team with a target on our back. Do they do like full contact football anywhere? That would kill all of. What? Are you fucking kidding me? You have been. You've said nothing on the show. But I'm so sore. I'm so sore. One football game would kill You. That'd be so fun. A full. It'd kill all of you. I would love to watch that, though. Yeah, I would watch it. We would have a great bull. No, you would. If you think basketball looks like Titans, we have our Titans. You got a couple guys. But if you think basketball looks like it's going slow. What do you think? You guys in football, it actually Deutsche's knees are bad. But Katic, we'd have a sick offensive line and it's about it. Yeah. If there's full contact leagues out there. No, hit me up. Do not hit him up. No, not. We're not letting you do that. Really bad idea. Such a bad. Well, maybe one of the worst ideas you've ever had. And you're a guy who made us spend $15,000 on a gas station pump that we don't use. I want to use it. I want to go use it right now. Come on. Yeah. Go. Go, yugwan. I'll go yog one. But I don't put the earpiece in them. Ah, no, wait, wait. Get Lucas. We'll have him yug one. I want to use it. I'm gonna move my desk down there. Yeah, to the Young station. Yeah, he said he was so you can just be there. I want to use it already. We haven't had guests come through. I know. That's right. That's. That's on us. Yeah.

NG Co Audio Limited time offer One of the funnest promos going has everybody taken the last 24 hours to soak in and relish the individual performance? The greatness that we saw yesterday? It was, it was, it was carrie wood striking out 20. It was, it was, it was one of the greats of all time. I went back to rewatch clips and was like giggling out loud in my bed last night. There's like six or seven moments that on their own would have been the funniest moment in an episode. Kate I legitimately think the moment when that cancer slide came up first and said talk about Danny's cancer is the funniest moment I can remember. Yeah, I think I cried three different times yesterday. Look how also look how tired. I keep saying look how tired. Look how tired to PMFs. You reminded me of that Ojai Mark, the escape to PEMFs. You must first understand and that. And so I told Donnie because I text him after, I was like, great job. I'm very serious about the do science. Yes. Very serious. But I told Donnie, I was like, when you do the dreams presentation next week, we need it the exact same way. Like don't, don't try to don't. Like look for spelling mistake. Like just dump your brain into it and then we'll just, you know, decipher everything. Yeah. Take an hour to do it too. Don't, don't. Yeah, don't. Don't do anything you didn't do this time. Ect. Ect. Ect. And also you using AKA just However the CIA, the CIA had to stop the dolphin burst get too smart. They were scared the kids would be too smart. They thought dolphins dolphin bursts. CIA had to step in. CIA had to step. They're like, nope. The. The more I attacked about that. Really? Yeah. What is. Oh, but six women in the 90s wanted to give birth with the dolphins. They wanted a dolphin assisted birth. One of them's name was Sarah and she was the OG of the group. Because when they got to Israel where they were at this resort at dolphin sanctuary, the government found out about it and said, hell no. Know that is absolutely dangerous. You might get an infection, the baby might get an infection. Y' all might get attacked by a wild animal in the ocean. You cannot give birth with the dolphins. Right? Five women backed out and said, fine, okay, we cave. Sarah said, hell no, I'm still doing this. She went into labor at midnight, went down to the beach with her husband and this other midwife slash doctor. I'm really not sure what she was. Anyways, they had a heated pool with a glass bottom that they put into the Red Sea. And the dolphins all congregated around Sarah while she gave birth to a little boy named Samuel. It took about three hours. The baby came out healthy. There were no complications, which hallelujah. Because if you've ever had a baby, you know that you want to be in a hospital because there's a lot of complications that can go wrong. Sarah was just above all that, though. She ain't give a. Sarah even said that she was petting on these dolphins while she was in labor with her baby. I can't imagine a crazier birth story. And I bet those five women that missed out were so damn jealous. But this isn't the only story of a dolphin assisted birth. However, it is the only story I can find of it actually going down and it actually happening. A lot of women have births, but they couldn't do it for some reason or another. Like this chicken Hawaii wanted to do it, but unfortunately she went into labor while on land. So her baby wasn't able to speak dolphin upon birth like she thought it would. Honestly not sure why. Donnie, watch this. Probably you've given birth twice. Yeah. Do you regret not involving dolphins? I. I wish I had now I wish my little rat are dumb as hell. Rat. I forgot about rat. You're a parent. What do you do with your little rat? They speaking. There's so many things. Speaking of rat, Kate, did you look how tired did you get the phone call? The worst phone call today. Oh, the school's closed tomorrow because of the cold. CPS canceled. Yeah, I know. I got it too. Yeah. Fuck. I was looking forward to this week because all the days off they'd had. I'm like, we're finally out of the holiday woods. Yep. And they're off tomorrow. Are we going to talk about it doesn't affect anybody who's watching, but tomorrow's weather is the most terrifying thing I've ever thought about in my life. You see, if you're outside 10 minutes, frostbite, the wind chill is negative 40. You got the number. Number one. Blob guy right next to you that can. It's over. Brandon Blobs here. Yeah. Even the south is getting snow. We're getting everywhere this winter is going to be. Not everywhere. Oh, the atmospheric blob. It's a blob. Okay. Not California, not everywhere. It is everywhere from like Dallas to Charlotte is. Is going to be snowed in this week. I hope you guys enjoyed your time in Chicago because our time has come to an end. Okay, what is, what is the blob? It's a air pressure system in. In one of the seas to the left. And what happens is it comes over. The big air pressure system also knows the blob comes over the United States. We're pushing air down. Air is getting pushed up. But air is getting also pushed down from the. The top continent, the super cold one up top. Okay. Canada. No way. Even colder. And Antarctica. What is Antarctica? Arctic air. The top continent air, the super cold air that we can't go touch comes down, hits Chicago because we're like in this little bubble. So the blob is something that we need to respect and understand that it's gonna be really bad. It's not good. Like it's gonna be. I know that sounds anticlimactic and I'm. But you said our time is done. Yeah, that was. I should have been that honest. I should try to reel back. I don't want to fear anybody. We just don't want to fear. I'm afraid. Are you gonna Goodwill hunting one day and just. We go to your apartment, you're not there and you're. You're back in Florida. But here's the thing with Zach. He is built for this because he doesn't go anywhere. But he looks intimidated. Looks fear. Needs his video game. Are you feared? Am I. Am I feared? Personally? Yeah. Is it safe space? Yeah, terrified. Okay, good. Yeah. Zach, give me. I want to be prepared for the whole array of what? The floating trees. Guys in Minnesota, give me the best case scenario and the worst case scenario. Good question. Best, Best case scenario. We don't lose anybody. Worst case scenario, we lose several good men in this just in our office or in the Midwest micro. This office Macro. Midwest. You think we'll lose multiple people? I do worry about the Youngs going to the bar and then thinking they're still gonna go on a Friday. Tomorrow. Friday. Yeah. Oh, fuck. I was gonna go to a bar tomorrow. See, this is what I'm worried about. Is it tomorrow? Yes, tomorrow. Well, for us, tomorrow is like the Blob for Us Tomorrow. The high is minus three. Tomorrow's the worst day. Oh, these weather channels had the audacity to say high of negative 3. High of negative 16 last night. Last night it did not snow in Chicago, right? No. Between seven and nine o' clock at my house, it snowed at least five inches. Whoa. Unbelievable. I. My. My daughter went to youth group at 6, it was clear skies. She called me at 8:30. Daddy, I can't get out of the parking lot. I spun out and I had to go. I had to go get her. It was that. It was. It was awful. This weather up here, man. Oh, you got daughters driving. She's 17 now. Oh, shit. You're fucking old. It's old. Very old. I didn't realize how old you were. Fucking old, dude. I have minus three. Speaking of tomorrow, I don't know if I'll miss the back half of the act, but. But Art's coming down Chicago. Art's coming. Art's coming. Can Art come visit? Yes. Okay, we have. We have the. What's his name? The magician. Yeah. Tomorrow. Yeah. So spellbinder might make spellbinders coming tomorrow. Are the dubs gonna be okay in minus 10? Yeah. How's he. Well, dude, he doesn't have him yet. All right, he does. Are you talking about balloons? The balloons might be in trouble. But his spellbinder says that he's booked, he's ready to go. Yep. We're. Yes, we're talking with legal right now about specific things, but yeah. What? I love that. Like music. Music and whatever. He needs to spell bind, he needs to be given access to it. I need to be spellbound. Yep, Agreed. But I love the idea of you needing to talk to legal. That tells me the act is gonna be. We gotta run this by legal before we turn him loose. Sign a waiver for their brains. Whose Art? Tiny Dick Art. It's my friend Art. Well, tomorrow he will be. No, we'll have Tiny Dick. Yeah, there's no way he's gonna have a big dick tomorrow. You guys are all coming to my side of the aisle tomorrow. No, Dana, Dana, here's the thing. I'm not allowed on the Yak to have friends of my own. Or anytime I go out and I hang out with somebody like Art back in Antioch, they have to make up a name like Tiny Dick. Art as fuck. Aj or all the guys. Everybody. I say, hey, I hung out with him this week. They have to belittle them. And AJ, I got. I got friends up in. That's AJ. Yeah, but AJ is not like an old 47. Why do you keep saying old? That's a new school. Yeah, that is. That's like a school name. AJ's like. When was the last time you heard of an AJ? That was. There's older AJ's than me. That didn't mean that was AJ Foyt. That wasn't an old like chirp. I was just saying you've said old ever since. I haven't heard of a 45 year old AJ. There's AJ's, there's older AJs. Okay, who? AJ Foyt. He was a IndyCar driver, right? That's exactly right. Yeah. Jay feely the best. AJ Feely Brzezinski. Wait, he wasn't Krasinski J. Styles, right? All right. AJ Styles. I take it back. AJ's like right in my generation. All right, I take it back. But you. I was not meant to be a chirp. Can I have a fucking Slim Jim? God damn. How many Slim Jims are gonna throw you? I also threw one that's eaten when you weren't looking. You just picked it up like it was. It grew on a tree for you. I'm gonna throw two because we'll do the Slim Jim ad. Because look at Dana, he's on his fifth right now. This is four and five. Four and five. This who snapped this week segment is presented by Slim Jim. Brandon just snapped. Oh, not really.

Does it have to be a bad. I would say Rick snapped after the block. Yeah, Rick snapped big time. Yeah, Rick snapped Oh, some of the gals and other folks are snapping about the. The main image for the newest rat race coming out. Oh, they think that they were all made to look ugly on purpose. It. I looked at it after seeing one of the chirps. I looked at it. I was like, they might have a point. Let me see. Kadik is upset. Cater's got a lot of bad thumbnails. I mean, these pd. You can't get upset about thumbnails. I think everybody. Other people. No, I think this one might have been intention. They might have a point here. They got done a little dirty. A few people look at Cadix chins. Oh, yeah. That's certainly not the best image of Tommy. He looks like a pug. Or I could see why Anakin smokes hugging. Like, Hannah's eyes are a little uneven. She's gorgeous. This isn't the usual, like, thumbnail job, though. Usually Shane will, like, outline your worst features. Yeah, the Viva TV1 Classic Tandem of Danny Jackal and Mints. Yeah. The kidic, I think, is the only one who's got a real complaint here. There was many complaints. People were snapping about this morning. Tommy. Tommy. Yeah, you're right. I love him. Yeah. The ladies are. Are not. Wow. Huh? Can't complain about thumbnails. No. Yeah, yeah. No, I've lost. Right? That's right. You just can't look at thumbnails. Thumbnails or thumbnails. Yeah, thumbnails. Gotta snap into a Slim Jim. Thumbnails are coins. They give us really teeth too. Yeah, they do whiten our teeth. It's nice. I do appreciate that. It's like free dental care. Yeah, you're exactly right. Good point, Zach. Same to you. Brand great. I didn't say a point. You got a lot of them. Just take it. We get an Internet dental plan a certain amount a year to get thumbnails whitened. I feel like no one should have yellow teeth in the year 2026. You could buy white strips that work overnight. You know, do white strips work? I think they're really bad for your teeth. Yeah, they make them real sensitive. What you say? I don't know. I was just skeptical. I did see a video recently where it said, soak your toothbrush in vinegar and put some salt on your toothpaste, and then it whitens. But it also did it with, like, fake teeth and a dummy. So hard to say. That might burn your gums a little, but who knows? Whenever I wear a white T shirt, I know that mine are in bad shape. Humbling. Oh, Contrast. A little contrast action. You guys ever see, like, the veneers all glow in the dark? No, veneers glow in the dark. Yeah. So you, like. You'll see, like, screenshots from, like, nightclubs and stuff, and everybody's having a good time. And you can see who all has, like, veneers because they just glow in the dark. Apparently implants do, too. What? I've seen that implants are what, like, breast implants? Titties glow in the dark, like, through the skin. You could see it. That would be awesome. That'd be kind of cool if I went in a dark room and Invisalign. Yes. Yeah. Tate did. Really? Talked about. Yeah. I just lost my retainers, and I. So I had to go get new ones. They don't let you buy just one anymore. They only sell them in sets of four, so it's like, over a thousand dollars. And you will lose them because they're clear. They're gonna start in it. Oh, it's great. Yeah. You should do it. Okay, cool. No, you gotta just. You don't need to. Yeah, it's character. Did you have braces? No, I had a snaggletooth. That's why I had a real wild card in the front. You gotta go traditional braces. You can't lose the trays. I know. I would have rather. What are you looking at? Thinking about you eating a Slim Jim. Good point, Zach. Watching you eat your ninth Slim Jim of the show. I'm good. Keep feeding Jay. How's Somali shape? Have you found a wine yet? I found one this morning that I did like, this morning. I don't. Yeah, it's the easiest time. What episode are we up to? 7. There been seven of these? Yeah. I don't know how to pronounce it, Kate. There weren't seven. Morning sunshines. No. Gerwund's Tremener. Huh? Oh, Gerwurtztraminer. Yeah, it's like juice. Yeah. Yeah, the German wine. Yeah, I like it. So we're gonna keep trying. Say it again. How do you say it properly, Kate? I'm probably butchering it, but Gorztraminer is gourdstraminer. Yeah. Pretty good. Pretty good. White wine. Sounds like there's a penis in there somewhere. It's kind of sweet, right? It's like juice. So I actually didn't have the. The notes of sheet for this, so I'm positive what's in it, but it tasted like honey and apple and kind of smelled like a shoe store and a leather Belt, but good honey and apple is taste. And the smell was shoe store. Shoe store. And a leather belt that did. Just tell me exactly what it smelled like. If it smells like shoe store. Yeah. Did you guys see our. Speaking of magicians with Walter the Spellbinder coming in tomorrow? Did you guys see what Oz did? No. What do you do? He predicted before the season that it would be Rams Broncos in the Super Bowl. The final score of Rams 23, Broncos 14. Can we see the clip? Yeah. Dana, the Broncos, isn't it? It's the Broncos in your mind, am I right? I Knew it was 23:14. Is that the score? Show me your hand. But wait, Matthew. Matthew, stop. You could have thrown to anybody in this room. Yes. Kyron, what's your jersey number? 23. Colby, what's your jersey number? 14. I mean, if this is true, we got to burn him. Yep. Seriously? Yeah. Well, this was. This goes back to you asking if he could give you picks and plays and all that, and he didn't. If he knows this, we got to burn him. I think that might be my one dying question at this point. How does he do it? He. He knows people's childhood friends. He knows information that there's no way you could obtain by just looking at someone or whatever he claims he does. You think there'll ever be a day that he'll just tell everyone, like, hey, this is what I'd done? No, no, that'd be cool if he did put a gun to his head or something. We don't have him. We. We should get him like once a year because they tried to last year in New Orleans and he bailed. Is there another guy doing this? Oh, or we got our guy. Camp David. David. David. Shout David. I think the mentalist stuff is there. Greg the Mentalist. I don't think there's. I think O's has the cornered the market on like celebrity appearances and NFL teams. Are there any. Guys are like pretty good at it. They're like. Yeah, they 60% of the time they kind of. Or 40% of the time they kind of fuck up a little bit. Yeah. They're like two digits off of your social. Yeah. Every now and then I'd like to see one of those guys mess and just. Ah. And I see what you were going for. You. Good guess, but it's actually was Bucky Cox. I mean, the FBI has to be using O's at this point, right? Right. Yeah, you'd think. Yeah. It feels like a misapplication of his talent. Right. He like entertaining NFL teams. He, like, guessed Joe Rogan's PIN number. Yeah, he was like, what the. That's a big cat. By accident. Yeah, he did it by accident. Oh, really? Because you had the wrong PIN number. No, I was. He. He was trying to guess my phone screen, like, the number to unlock my phone, and my brain is so stupid. I was thinking of my PIN number and he got. He guessed the PIN number. That's even scary, right? Actual minor. Because, like, you can't be like, oh, he was doing it by, like, looking at my phone and where, like, the grease stains are. He was literally. I just had gotten the numbers wrong, but he guessed the right because he, like, he went to unlock my phone and it didn't work. And he's like, what's going on? And then I was like, oh, I gave you my PIN number. I don't even want to be around this guy. It's crazy. Crazy. He's crazy. He's crazy, man. Yeah. These guys are crazy. Someone should do something about that. What do you think, Zach? If we have the Mentalist, what do you think? The FBI has good points. He's just like the. The fun, forward facing mind reader. What if we. Born by dolphins? Oh, my God, he's Samuel. He's the mind reader for the public. Yeah, he's the one they put out when we get to enjoy. Who's baby? Samuel. Right, the dolphin baby. Oh, that was the dolphin baby. Yeah. I already forgot the baby singer. How can I forget baby Samuel? Oz. Oz. Say he ran a marathon every morning too, in Central Park. I thought it was 100 miles or it was something crazy. Like he did like, an ultra every morning. He ran from the tip of Long island to Manhattan. I know. He did that, like, mega ultra marathon. Yeah, one of those guys. This guy's doing too much. He's doing a lot. And I don't think we should have him in every year. He makes me feel uncomfortable. But think of if. What if he says the Bucks every year? What if he says Tom Brady in the Bucks every year? And every year Steven's like, me. Holy not Bucky Cox is my favorite trick I've ever seen. Yeah, it was crazy. That was crazy. He's a maniac. Yeah. By the way, speaking of the cold, is he on tj? He's gonna join in a minute. We got the coldest guy in Hawaii. Wow. We found him. Formerly the coldest guy in Chicago. Yeah, we found him. The update photo was not what I expected. Him. Yeah, he jacked. Yeah. I think he made a Twitter just to reply to us. And he has the sign. He must really love that sign. Do we know his name? Oh, the. The sign, by the way. Looked like in great shape. They went through a whole game and then playing. Oh, he deleted it. Yeah. Oh, no. Someone mean to him or something? I hope not. I think his name. Of all the people to be mean to. Un. How do you say eu? You mean to Kate. Yoon. Please. Yoon. The coldest human on earth. He looked warm as hell in that picture. Yoon. Yoon. Son. We saying that right? Followed by big. Deleted the tweet. Damn. Wow. Okay. All right. Well, do we know it? Have we been in contact? All in. He's zooming in. Yes, he's zooming in. Yeah, we found him. Good. Zach. Good thing you're here because you saw how cold he was. I'm excited. I wasn't lying about any of that. Oh, no. Whatsoever. He. He just didn't take out his sign the entire second half. Human was determined to get on tv. Yeah. Pronounced Oon or un. I apologize. You're. You're a Florida boy. How cold were you? He's a Hawaii guy. Oh. I lost my feet at the tailgate. Brain. That's what I heard. It was frigid. Do you ever find your feet again? In big cat's car. He left. There he is. Love Chicago and the Bears. But very happy to be back in Hawaii. He looks so much happier. Looks so much warmer. This. This has to be taken before he left. Oh, maybe. Good call. Wow. Signs in good shape. But wait. He hadn't left Waikiki yet. Good call, Steven. Wow. He really. Why? Why? Why did it have to be. Could be. Right. But why? Why would he take it before, like, yeah. Game. Are we sure that's the same. I don't know. All right. I don't know. That might be AI. That's just AI. Are we getting worked? That might work. Are we getting worked. That's just AI. That guy's way younger. Because I was going to say he does. Way younger. This is when he was the coldest man in the world. World. Right. That and also why I think it's the same guy. Let's look at this photo. Is this. Zoom in on the fingers. Does he have like eight fingers? No. That looks good. But you're right. The sign is perfect. But why would you take a picture of the sign on the beach before he goes to the game? Right. It doesn't make. He didn't know that worked. I don't think so. I think that's the same guy. I think that's how cold he was. But the sign is so perfect. He looks so much younger. Does everything about sign look the same? He could have a home sign and away sign. Good. Good point, Zach. His wedding ring is on his right hand. Wait, zoom in on the sign again. But the sign. Zoom in on the sign. Matched perfectly. All right. Okay. Enough Waikiki to see a Bears playoff victory. We got the palm tree. Go back. Spot the difference. Same exact sign. I think we all look a little different depending on the season. Even the. Look at the ik. I kick. Like. See how the eyes and K's are a little off? Yeah, they're exactly the same off. It had to have been before, though. Had to have. Stephen had to have been right. What would compel a man to take this picture? What would compel a man to think for sure he was going to be on the broadcast if he brought this sign to the broadcast? Because that's. That's a thing. That's what I'm saying. But what if he doesn't go to these dudes go to these NBA games and, like, I traveled all the way from Brazil to see Fred Van Vliet, and then they throw him on an NBA broadcast. That's why we deleted. Is it. The person felt bad that they made an AI photo. Have we talked to him or just DM'd with him? This is a random. He's very hairless. Like, his arms are so smooth. Very hairless. Sorry. Never mind. He's perfect. He's perfect. What's up, man? Just kidding. Thanks so much for joining us. You're. You're welcome. Yeah. So how was the flight back? Oh, good. All good, man. Everything's good. Okay. So did you listen to what I said on. Pardon my. Take it on the Yak about the game? I did. I did. Was that a fair assessment for how cold you really were? Let me take this off. Okay. So actually, this is working better. Sorry about that. No, it's actually. It wasn't a fair assessment because almost everything you said was true. Something's a little exaggerated. But as far as how cold I was, I was colder than you. I said you were the coldest man in the world in that moment. You, you, you. Because, like, when we got to our seats, you were all pumped up, and it was like, all right, here we go. And obviously, the Bears, you know, lost the game. But when the second half hit was, did you buy a sweatshirt at halftime? So here's what happened. So I went out to get warmed up, and I don't know if you knew, because of my commitment, I stayed the whole first half and the whole first. Like I could. Second half. But I needed a break during the. During the halftime. So I went out to warm up. Then my friend came out and he insisted I take one of his layers because he said he's so warm. Here's the deal. Here's the deal. Because just in case people are thinking, man, that guy from Hawaii, he's. He's quite dumb. What the heck? He's so underdressed. You know what? I wasn't sure I was so underdressed because what was important to me, and this is the aloha shirt I'm wearing. I don't even remember I was wearing this aloha shirt in front of you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember. So this aloha shirt is a medium. Because I'm a medium. And as I try to layer up and have the aloha shirt as last, I couldn't put on that much clothes. So I said, man, I'm gonna freeze. But it's okay. I gotta represent Hawaii and Hawaii's gonna be proud of me. And. And I just gotta do it. I gotta suck it up. I can do it. Yeah, but listen, you didn't get on tv, but you got, you know, you. You got on. On the act. That's a good consolation next best thing. Yeah, that was. That was. That was fantastic. If you do that. And I even appreciate it, you know, all the roasting. Because like I said, it was mostly true. Yeah, no, listen, I. It was all in good nature because I. You. You're. You're a passionate fan, and we. We were getting a kick out of it. It's just when the second half hit and you were. You were vibrating at one point, like you were shaking. I was vibrating most of the game. And I think my face. My face, regardless of how I was emotionally happy on the inside, my body just froze. Like. Like I was just frozen. I couldn't even change my facial expression. And I don't know if you guys knew, but the few times I turned around to look at you guys, you guys had this look on your face and your eyes just like. Like, this guy is crazy. Yeah, he's old. But you. But you didn't say anything, but. I know, but one of you guys, that was like two seats to the right of you at one of my turns, said, hey, when you're going back to Hawaii. Yeah, almost immediately. And it was. I said something like that. And he just went, good. Yeah, his good was. Yeah, you need to get back to somewhere warm asap. It was, it was quite an experience. And yeah, the, the second half, you didn't, you didn't bring the sign out because it was just so cold. That picture, two of you. Sorry, it's not the most flattering picture, but I do think it captured like. You look like a different person. You look like a different person. I was frozen. You gotta realize I was like you said I was going with this the whole game. Unbelievable. You caught it perfectly. I had no idea I was looking that much like a homeless bum from Hawaii. It was perfect. You captured the moment at the same time. I have no regrets because I had a blast. Yeah, I was freezing. And you're like, you're like your description, the coldest man on earth. I may have been the coldest man on earth, but I was still happy. And you know, the Bear fans are fantastic. You guys behind me, you guys were fantastic. The guy to the right of me after that four quarter catch, he hugged me so hard I thought I was gonna fall down. I mean, these strangers. And then, and here's where I, I gotta give a shout out to the people in front of us. The people who had that first row. I think they're season ticket holders. They told me at the beginning of the game, we got you because we know when the camera comes around. And every time the camera come around, came around, they told me the camera's around and they started, they scream. I don't know if you noticed, they scream louder than me. Yeah, yeah. They were trying to get you on there as well. I know, I know. How cool of them. But, but still, the camera guy didn't look our way. I know, I know. He didn't look up to us. Yeah. And I'm going to exaggerate. I actually think if the camera looked my way and I got on the Jumbotron and some of the Bears looked at it, I know they were motivated to win that game. But seeing me in that state and my hope for a playoff victory, maybe I could have given them that little extra more motivation and we could have won the game. I love it. I love it. It. Listen, there was, it was, it was, it sucked. We lost. But it was a special night. Like being just. When you get in those cold games, you're just like, we're all in this together, just trying to survive this. We are, we are. Hey. And you guys were so cool because when I came and first thing I asked you guys if I could hold that sign and if you guys said no, I would have just held that on my chest and belly the whole game. But I remember distinctly you saying, no, man, we understand. That's cool. And so, yeah, present your character and who you are, because I gotta apologize. I don't know how much I obstructed your viewers, but I apologize. It was only, like, a couple times. There's one that was. The ball was in the air, and you got it up, and I was just like, I don't. I don't think they're gonna get the sign while the ball's in the air. But no, it was. It was a good time, and it was good to see, like, yeah, you. You had all the. The enthusiasm flying all the way from Hawaii, so that's awesome. I did. I did. All the stars were aligned. And before the game, when I was walking outside and inside the stadium, Bear fans are so great because they saw me walking around with a roll poster. Like, half a dozen people said, hey, what does your sign say? And then when I showed it to them, they wanted a picture. Some people even wanted a picture with me. And then at least half of the people I encounter said, if we win, it's because of you and that sign. Hell, yeah. Yeah. But we lost, so I gotta take the blame. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. The loss is on you. All right, well, hey, we really appreciate you zooming in. If you're ever in Chicago again, come by the office and come check us out. Yeah, would love to, guys. And like I said, the roasting was fantastic, and I. I just appreciate it because at least now Hawaii gets the, you know, the rep that I was hoping to give it. Yeah, you get a story. Yeah, you get a story. And like I said here, my. My problem is that I wanted to wear this aloha shirt, and I'm a medium. You can't put that many jackets under a medium. Yeah. Yeah. All right, well, thank you so much. We appreciate you, man. Hopefully you stay warm. Me too. Thank you, guys. Go Bears. All right, see ya. Okay. Same guy. Great guy. I want to tell him he was good. Five guests this week. Yeah. I want to tell him he was jacked. That picture is so perfect that he's the same guy in that and how different he looks. The cameraman probably thought he was panning to a dead man. I was nervous there when he showed. When he looks 40 years old than who we just zoomed with. I was nervous when he. When he set up that joke, he was gonna be like, I felt fine. And it's like, oh, I misjudged that. He's like, no, I was actually colder than you said. Also. That's such dude logic to be like, well, I had to wear my medium. Oh, you had shirt on top of the. Could have just wore the flower necklace. Maybe when you're out in cold and you. You have realized that you made a mistake. You made a mistake there. It's the most helpless feeling in the world. Yep. It's already too late. Because if you're. If you're in. If you're. If you're out there and the heat is 100 degrees, you can walk under the concourse, be in shade for a little bit, maybe find something you do water cold. Unless you're going in a suite. If you're selling the concourse, there's no escaping it. It's the worst, too, seeing, like, at a game like that, seeing the people that, you know are going to a suite because they have, like, one jacket on. God, there was guys with their shirts off at the end of the game. Yeah. I mean, there's always those guys. Yeah. I don't know how they do it. Yeah. I almost think it's sometimes worse when you, like, misjudge the weather for, like, a late Cubs game. Yeah. Like the lake effect and it just drops like, another 20 degrees and you're sitting there. Yeah. In shirt and shorts. Yeah. Yeah. All right, so we were right, Zach, calling him the coldest man on earth. He's certainly the coldest man on earth. That's a good sample size of what the cold can do to you. Yeah, good point, Zach. Yeah. And it's going to be significantly colder this weekend. Yeah. None of us are holding signs by 25 degrees than it was. Yeah. But none of us are sitting out for four hours at a game. Oh, no. Any live events. Got to cancel them. Shut up. I don't think they're doing live events. You think they're doing. Is it going to be canceling maybe blobbed in Denver? Oh, yeah. You're going to Denver. Yeah. On Sunday. It's gonna be blob. I think you're gonna be fine. Dimash could be okay. It's all east of Denver. Okay. All right, live bet, lads. The only blob going to Denver is you guys. Literally, a winter storm is just gonna go across the whole middle of the country. Denver is 24 degrees on Sunday. Oh, that'd be great. Okay. It's during the day. It'll be sun. Brandon. I think, like, the south is supposed to get slam. Yeah. It keeps moving north, tightening up, but, like, Tennessee and Kentucky are going to get Hammered Memphis is going to get like three feet. Yeah. And then there's going to be a lot of ice to the ice is the problem down south. Splitting trees. Splitting trees, taking out power. It'll be out forever. I miss Christmas one time because of an ice storm. Yeah. There's just a big map that I just keep seeing that's just purple everywhere. Yeah, it looks bad. It's all below us too. I know. Yeah. Will the live bet lads be betting stadium completions this weekend? I don't know. Well, since I'm a Patriots fan, I'm sure there'll be. Maybe I'll be wearing some Patriots gear so I won't be yelled at this time. But I don't want. I don't want the city of Denver to hate me. Live BET lads can wear. I don't know. That's a thing. Maybe. What's this? But there's no cheering. That new live bet lads press box, that is too plasma, Right? Are you guys gonna wear like a weird hat or something? Some goofy. Yeah, the lad hat. Okay, cool. Cool. Cuz otherwise we would. How does the. Dana. How's the van get there? I think we hired someone last time and I believe one of the guys up front is doing it. One of our security guys because I noticed it like leaves. It. It leaves where? It makes a one day trip or something. It doesn't leave like two days in advance. I had nothing to do with it. Yeah. I just show up and live bet. Be a lad. Yeah, you do. What a light. I thought you guys were road tripping. No, I wish, man. I thought that was part of the fun. I would like to. I would like to road trip. I don't. You just get in the van. I shouldn't have said that because now we're gonna have to leave. You don't want to do that at all. You guys getting stuck on the side of the highway at minus 3 temperature. I've had 7. It's good protein. It is good protein, but it's, it's, it's filling. All right, what do we got here? Are you into truffle? Yeah. No, you aren't. Yes, I am. How do you. How have you never tried sushi but you had trouble. I used to work at a pizza place and they put truffle oil. All right, all right, all right, that's fair. You had truffle oil. Yes, truffle. But if I smell truffle, I'm in. You're. Yeah. I think everybody is. I think truffles overrated. I'm not a big fan, I think. I don't know how you come to that conclusion. Fries? No, thank you. Yeah, this. That makes me, like, recoil. No, I don't like it. It's a bad take. And it's like, sticks on you. It's like a. But it's a good smell. Good stick. Yeah, I don't like. I'd rather be covered in that than anything else. Really good stick. No, I'm not a truffle guy. Truffle fries? Really? Nah. If I get somewhere and they got truffle fry. I mean, truffle butter. Yeah. Thank you. Lather me. Lather me. One of those things that makes people feel fancy, but it's like lobster. It's just like a sea critter, you know? Lobster is also good. Lobster's really good. Yeah. I get some melted butter. I guess melted butter makes anything good, but. Do you think truffle pigs like their life? What's a truffle pig? Oh, the ones that sniff out the. Yeah, Yeah, I would think so. All right, Jay. Well, we answer those two questions. They don't like it. No, I have a further question. I have a further question. Do. This is the dumb. Do pigs in general like their lives? Yeah, yeah, we'll let you answer a pig in. Yeah, like, they really enjoy being pigs there. Aren't they almost always captive? No, there's wild hogs we don't remember. Feral hog. But isn't that black Hog down. Isn't that why, like, machine guns are illegal because of feral hogs? Yeah, well, feral and. And, yeah, but they're not legal because of the hog. Wild hogs are thriving. What? Well, that's like one of the big defenses is, like, if there are wild hogs, you fucking shoot all of them. One of my. One of my good friends from. From. Or one of my friends from west point has a YouTube channel. David Ellis, he's yacht. Yacht. He has a YouTube channel. It's all about him. He has over 200,000 followers now. It's. It's all about him trapping hogs. He has a big hog trap. How do you. How do you see it? Trapping them in. He's a gigantic. About the size of this room, maybe a gigantic steel trap that you hang over the ground. You hang it there for about four or five days. You put corn down. The wild hog group gets there, and you. You. You YouTube. You not Bluetooth it. You, like, press a button, trap goes down. Hogs are trapped. I want to see it. Y', all. Y', all, this is 300,000 subscribers. Just leave it out. Look at that second one. We've done this before. Yeah, we did go. Mostly, though, we've done it here as well. Oh, what is this, Mississippi? Yeah, they've just that many wild hogs running around. There's wild hogs on my property down here. Oh, my God. Yeah. Dude, they're massive. Yeah, they'll like, bite you and stuff. Oh, they're bad. Yeah, they'll. They'll you up because they'll charge at you, but they're. They will you up. Does he kill them all there? I didn't realize it was that. Oh, yeah. It kills every single one of them. Shoots them. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You eat them like you make bacon with them. They're not. They're not great. They're. They're really greasy and gamey, but they're. They're. Yeah. So they like their lives? They love it. They don't like getting trapped and killed. Oh, shit. So is this when he's about to drop the hammer on him? Yeah. No, they freak. Oh, they. No, Kate, don't feel bad for these guys. Run, you idiots. Run. Get a free meal. You may kill Old Yeller. Aren't they the ones that gave Old Yeller rabies? They would eat your babies in a second. Yeah, it's over, boys. But there are. Kate, there are thousands of thousands of thousands of these. Imagine being the leader hog. That was like, guys, I found the best. Yeah. Are any of the boys just, like, so embarrassing still eating or are they just going, you see one hog? Dana's trying to look for the relatable one. Representation matters. Still eating. That one's eating a Slim Jim. Yeah, that's my guy. Show him shooting them. Oh, no, he never shows himself shooting them. You also don't trap them. Don't they like the land up? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They really people. They're like, bad for the. They root up the ground. They'll tear your yard up. They'll tear everything up. They'll hurt your animals. He's also. He was. He was a beaver trapper too, trapping beavers. And he calling turkeys pretty much all the outdoor stuff. Were you a hunter? So I'm a fisherman and an outdoorsman, but I like to just sit in the stand and watch the deer. I can't kill an animal. It's why I'm an outcast of my family. So, no, I'm not. Yeah, I, I, I come from a hunting family with hundreds of acres of hunting land, and I can't. I would go hunting with them Dove Hunting. Deer hunting. And I would always act like my gun was jammed or, oh, I didn't see him. And I just. I don't know why I have that gene. I. I cannot pull the trigger and end an animal's life. I. Y' all have seen. I. If a spider walked through here, I'd take tissue and take it outside and drop it. I don't. We'll try it tomorrow. There'll be doves here. I'm not gonna kill those two doves. We'll see. About what? About an ant? I will. Usually not with them unless they fuck with me. If they bite me, yeah, I'll grab them, but I'm not gonna fuck with them. I don't know what my mom does. Yeah. I don't fuck with her. But there wasn't a traumatic story. Yeah. Were you, like, holding. One time, Uncle Doug took me to. And the one time I did kill something, I didn't like the way it reacted. I was in sixth grade. I killed it. So your first kill was probably too young. It was writhing on the ground, and I didn't. Like. I was like. I don't. Don't. Don't let me. Don't make me do this again. So I just. I've been, like, deer hunting, and I just. I. I would make excuses for why I couldn't pull the trigger. Yeah. I didn't see him, Daddy. Well, he was right there, and. Yeah. And then. Yeah, but I can fish all day long. I don't have any moral problems with hunting. You want to go kill an animal, Danny? You go kill an animal. I will enjoy it. Yeah. You get mad at me every time I kill a centipede again. Just put them outside. It's a long walk. It's really cold out there. I don't like killing animals. That's. That's it. I'm. Have you ever done the catfish? I think we talked about this a long time ago. Have you done the catfishing that you like? Just hand. Yes. Graveling. Okay. Noodling graveling. Yeah. Good at that. I don't really have the stomach for that. I have done it before. Again. My Uncle Doug does it. You just. You go find a hole in a bank or a log under the water. You reach in, you feel it, you grab it. I come from my neighbor. My neighbor that had the catfish in the strip club. He can do it, but that water's all brown. You can't see. I'm terrified of what might be under there. I feel like if you're a hot gal in a Bikini down there. Who can do it? You're numbies. Hannah Baron. They're always. Hannah Baron. Does it. Yeah. I have a potentially very dumb question. Yeah. Once the catfish is on your arm, right. And you pull it out of the water. Yeah. What's next? Are you punching it? Are you. How are you getting it off of you? You get it off of you. You put it in the boat, you put it in the cooler. You put it wherever you're gonna put it to keep it. You don't throw a little jab, though. No, you don't. You're not fighting the. It's not a fight. Not a fight. You're simply going into its home using your hands as the far superior animal and grabbing it and then killing it. Just give it a little jab. Yeah. It's not a wave, Danny. It's a. It's fish. Fish fighting. Fish fighting could be the next step, though. But then catfish fry, right? Like, we're not just noodling to noodle. No, we're. We're frying up catfish. That's good to know. Yeah. I'd like to invite you to a fish fry. I would love that. Bread. That'd be the invitation. Yeah, very much. Awesome. The fish fries are incredible. I didn't realize y' all did it. I thought it was a completely. I thought it was a completely southern thing. I thought fish fries were ours. And I get up here and every Friday at these restaurants and supper clubs in Wisconsin, Illinois is Fish Fry Friday. Fish Fry Friday. Oh, yeah. And it's. It's catfish. It's. It's. It's walleye. It's perch. The perch is unbelievable up here. Wisconsin's huge fish fry. State massive. Never knew it. What. What smell is that? What are you eating? A rice cake. Rice cake? I didn't have lunch. Okay. Depressing. You want a Slim Jim? They know. Might look okay. Zach, how's the video games going? Didn't. Didn't play too much last night. Not trying to. Trying to. Time management wise. Trying to stay off the game a little bit, you know, I'm trying to even some things out. Okay. Working on that. Well, maybe just not play till 5am though. Yeah, no, that's got to be out. We're out on that. We're doing pt Put me on this thing where if I do, I'm doing late alarm. So, like, I'm setting an alarm for 12, and then when the late alarm goes off, it's like, hey, it's time to wrap it up. So it's been a Great video game. Oh, I see. I did dabble for a little bit. Yeah. So what do you do if you don't play video games? Price? Watch YouTube. What do you watch? Twitch? Well, they. Unfortunately they had to cut half the half the staff of Victory outdoors. So they're just doing some what into the season. We got permafrost in the ground. Of what outdoors. Oh, sorry. It's a Victory outdoor services concrete company in Wisconsin. He watches people pour concrete. Oh, I watched that. But it's. You should check it out. It's actually pretty. It's pretty nice. They set the forms, you know, set the felt. Set the form. Yeah, it is good. They had to cut half the crew because, you know, with the permafrost it gets so cold you can't work on the ground. They've been doing. I'll bring them back in the spring. Yeah, definitely. I just been doing upkeep on the shop. What do the guys do that get cut? There's a lot of shop up. I don't really. YouTube too. Yeah. So they're just around in the shop all day now. They're just like upkeeping it. So like getting it clean. Clean up the trucks, you know, sanding down the rust on the trucks, repainting them, getting all the gear ready for next season. Then they go into plowing. So like to do. Since I can't pour the lots now, they're maintaining the law. So we're talking about salt in the parking lots, plowing the parking lots. Manual labor. YouTube's pretty big. Oh certainly. Yeah. So you watch him plow snow. Yes. How's that? Pretty satisfying. I can't imagine. No. You ever messed with concrete yourselves act. Do some amateur stuff, some tiny stuff. Yeah, I've like set a umbrella like by the pool. That was cool. That's sounds cool. Yeah. All hand mixed stuff in like a wheelbarrow though. No, nothing out the truck. Yeah, show. Show us them plowing snow and walk us through what. What the cool part is. It would be a victory. Yep. Oh, here we go. Yeah. You know all these guys names? We watched this. Yeah, Big Ray. Yeah, we've gone over this. This is. I watched this video last night. You watched this? This is the one I watched. This is when I went to bed to last night. Who's that guy? That's boss man. Why are you acting like you're tired already? Kind of sounds like Brandon. I did think. Yeah, by the. There's. There's nothing stopping you from doing this. I keep saying you got to get a plow I saw three. Three or four snowplows working in unison. This guy sounds like Brandon, does he not? He did overhang. We need a plow for the skid. Lower and just keep it here. He sounds like a won time Done. That's the ego. Yeah, he does. Yeah. Still nothing, huh? Okay, I would like the action as opposed to what? Yeah, they're just walking around, just getting ready to do deal. So there's. There's no plowing in this video. Oh, they buy a plow video 40 minutes long. They buy. You watch them buy a plow. Yeah, they went. Got it. He's plowing. Oh, that's right. He 20 minutes away to his boys driveway. But he was upset. He got the wrong truck for the job. That's what I was trying to do the first time. Plow. It's still standing. Ah, it is. This is my number. I actually hate this at the first time, but it was too much snow. Look at that, man. I can see where this would put you to sleep, though. It's like. So my theory on shows you watch before bed is like, you want to be kind of entertained, but not too entertained that it keeps you up. You don't want to beast before bed, and it also makes noise. You can't beast before bed, but you can have beast. You do beast before bed? No, no beast before bed. Okay. Do you ever see a train with a plow on the side? This is so many views. I went down those rabbit holes. Oh, he fires the guys on camera. Why do they look so happy? Him? They'll be back next season. What do you say to him? Wait, what do you say to him? He just says, I let my guys. I don't think he. I don't think he does the let go on cam or like the hold off on cam. He just lets, you know, up front, like, hey, a couple of guys got to go. But he kept Tino, kept Big Ray. Oh, thank God. Tino. I was nervous about Tino. You know, Tino's always hiding the porta potty, they say. Really? Yeah. He's always get away from. Where's Ceno? He's got a gas station. To the porta pot. That's what they say. He's hiding out. Yeah, he's a hideout guy. We need to get you up there with them. I've got a poor concrete. Have they ever, like, done a fan video? No, no collab. He makes it very well known, like, hey, this is a. I know we're making a show here, but this is private property. This. This Business we got going on. Nobody come to my domain. But can we get in contact with them? Be like, hey, would you have back on a hall for you? I could try shooting an email. Yeah. Where are they located? Wisconsin. Oh, yeah. Not too far. You'd want to do concrete. That would be the. That would be your number. They're like, yeah, we'll let you do whatever you want. Well, again, I guess you just have to immerse with the guys. You just have to give it a go, whatever. What would you. Because we talked about it yesterday. What would your make a wish be? What everyone's make a wish. A rubber mat. Yeah. Let's go say yog station. But do they do it for adults? No. 17 and under. They should do adult maker wishes. There might be versions of that. I know there's one for veterans. I was gonna say it might end up just being like my favorite porn star. Yeah, that would be a lot of it. They have a mini one. I. I don't know if it's only for kids too. It's called like bare necessities where you basically get. Can get something like three grand and under. But yeah, you. You have to go trip. So like, you know, if you want to meet the Cubs, wait till they're in LA playing. Yeah, right. And don't just say you want to meet one player. Say the whole team. Oh, you know. Yeah. Then that one player might be able to come to you more easily. And plus then he just obviously. Oh, good point. Right. But should have done the mat. Yeah. So we got to get you make a wish concrete pour. I like watching them do it. I don't know if I'll be good at pouring concrete. But you, you would love being out there with him though. I just, I wouldn't want to get in way of the workflow. But if they. If it wouldn't impede their workflow, I'm in. Okay. I just don't want to step. I don't want to step on they got going on. I want to get in the way. Yeah, because like the video, they're like, they go to clients, houses, you know, I mean like he's running the. He's like pouring driveways for accounts that like, you know, he's got to keep a relationship there. I don't want to make it. I don't want to get in their way. I feel like you're the most trusted. You would not, not kill a relationship. Wait, where are they located? They're in Wisconsin. I know a guy who lives close to Wisconsin who Has a big yard. What if you had a job for them at Brandon's house? Then they had a reason to be there. Yeah. Oh, like Brandon needs a. Needs a poor. Needs a slab. Just tell them he does, you know. Oh, what if. How much it would cost. Yeah. If we cemented over his. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. One road. Kfc. We'd have to see if Schmidt goes to. Goes that far. The zoning wise. The concrete company uses. They do concrete only? No. So because I'm thrown off by the snow plowing. That was just them plowing their own property. The pl. Yeah, that was the shop plow. I just assume any guy who lives in a northern area and has a truck, they just like, well, I'll make money snowplowing. Yeah. Which makes sense. But their business is concrete. They just plow for fun. First and foremost is concrete. Okay. A lot of residential work, so driveways, patios. They do get into some parking lots, and then they pivot to snow in the winter. And arm wrestling, of course, always ripped. They just put that gym in the shop. Oh, that's in the shop? Yeah. Shots. Pretty sick. That's so sick. I'm acting like we don't have a gym here. Oh, man. Imagine working in a place in the gym. I want to go pour concrete. Is that Brian Shaw? Who's Brian Shaw? Like one of those strongest men in the. Oh, yeah, it is, tj. Yeah. Damn. I got fired as a landscaper once. Why? Didn't know how to use the. The stand up mower where you're, like, on it and moving around. I couldn't figure it out. What do you mean? They just came, kept putting me on and trying me out, and I just couldn't do it. Wait, but so they. So, like, do we. They taught you how to do it? I was there for six days. On the seventh. The seventh. Sixth or seventh day, they were like, all right, we need you to start mowing on the stand up mower. It was one of those 360 ones where you. Yeah, I just turn around, figure it out. They're like, dude, what part didn't you figure out? It's tough. It's. It's like, there's turns and it's like not a wheel, right? And you go left, two handles, like this. Is it one of those? Yeah. Oh, so it's like chewing gum and walking. It was. Yeah. And I just couldn't do it, and they fired me. And also one time I was. Yeah. How many chances did you get? Like, it was like I had a day to Figure it out. And I just couldn't do it. Were you close? No. Then to this day I'm like, It gives me, it gives me a like. Because I was a good ass weeder and a good. What's a weed whacker? And so I was like, I have potential in this business. And then it kind of shot me down. Yeah, I couldn't do the stand up mower. Sorry to hear that. It's all right. Wow. He got high. He got fired because he couldn't turn on the mower. I could turn it on. I got fired from a mowing job after one day. Really? Yeah. Look at us. Because I, I got mad at a fat guy and intentionally mowed in his face. What do you mean you mowed in his face? I was mowing a piece of property by a cabin. There was a fishing cabin and I was. And this guy came out of the cabin, this rich guy came out of the cabin and got in the boat that was tied right up next to it. Not to fish, but just to, just to bother me. He said, go do something else. And he was just fucking with me because he was rich and I was a poor 19 year old. And I said, all right, you gonna sit there? Fuck, I'm gonna mow anyway. And I mowed and it blew the shit right off in his face. It was great. That had to have felt. It felt amazing. And they said, you leave right now. No, I, I, it's a one time. I, it's, I just. That guy that fat. Yeah, yeah. Probably died of a heart attack. I'm fatter than he is. But still man. Oh, I wasn't saying to be the man. That's just what happened. Still the man. That's just what happened, man. You the man, Brandon. That's just what happened. Happened might be to me. I have a buddy who lost some fingertips in a mower. Yeah. Kept, he kept holding the thing down while he went to clear a grass. Can't do that, can't do that, can't do that, can't do that. I was a construction laborer and it was a father and son who owned it. And the son just started taking over when I joined. And so anytime they had a job, the son would like lease out the jobs to union people like plumbers, etc. But I was non union and the dad would always be like, go to this site and like bring me back the tools to the shop, blah blah blah. But every time I went to a site I risked basically having Scabby the Rat out in front of the building. If anyone caught me, he's like, if anyone. If anyone asked who you're with, you just run. One day, someone asked me who I was, I just looked at them and ran. Just ran. Prevented Scabby the rat from being outside of the site. There's a big scabby rat down the block right now. Yeah, that could have been me who caused it. You just ran? Just ran. How far did you run? Just straight to the truck. Got in the 90. I thought you'd be like Forrest Gump. You ran to one coast and then ran to the other coast. I don't think he really did that number. Forrest Gump? Yeah. No, he did it. It's in the movie. It was right there in the movie. I don't think he ran from one coast to the other coast. Don't think he did it. You think he's got it in him? I just don't think he did it. That's all. That I'm not saying. I'm not doubting the man's ability to run. I just don't think he ran to the west coast and then the east coast and the West Coast. Mike Posner did it. Well, that's not the song they use. Is. Are we at. What's going on in the gambling? You can go your own way. Is the ref still there? No, it's just a bunch of. I don't know. Those. Those. Hey, guys. I don't know, Rick. I'm actually kind of happy this happened to him. And just the fact that you can never get too high. Yeah, that Deutsch. Yeah, Deutsch here. Hey, Deutsch, come in here. Hey, Deutsch. Oh, we had a meeting of the minds this morning. Deutsch, get in here. That's not true. Yeah, we did. Oh, no. Oh, listen, they've got a new idea. Yeah, it's either going to be drinking beer.

I mean, even coming from New Hampshire, I've definitely never felt it as cold as it's supposed to be. Yeah, it's gonna be cold. How you feeling? I feel great. How's the knee? It feels okay. Okay. I think it was an IT band issue that really tightened up after playing pickup for the first time and, like, five years trying to prepare for the men's league game, which was a bad idea. Yeah. But I foam rolled it out. What's an it band? It's the side of your. I think it connects the hip down to, like, the knee joint. Really? And it just got real tight and it was pulling as soon as I foam rolled it. It felt better, but it kind of just felt like I was playing with, like, it didn't hurt. It just felt like I was playing with, like, a prosthetic leg. Tight. I couldn't get any. I mean, if they realized that, they could have just, like, walked by me every single time. Yeah. You didn't have much mobility. No, we figured that out. Would you get a prosthetic leg for content? Oh, I don't think so. Not. Not a leg. Good call. Army, Maybe a couple fingers. What about a prosthetic arm that ended in, like, a beer mug? That would be pretty cool. Okay. All right. So what was the big idea you guys had? Oh, this. This was Mikey Betts and Deutsch. They called me and Katie. Okay. I had a call from Mikey Betts saying, come down with Katic, please. I love this idea, but. So this requires four of you. We. We're just guests on this show. Okay. All right, what do we got? The. The show. The. The show idea is more bets. I just had this one idea that I thought was going to be fun. Okay. It's going to be Battleship, but with beers instead of. Instead of the. That's why we got this guy instead of the ship. I think it would just be an awesome pregame. Even if it wasn't going to be content. I've just always kind of wanted to do it. Yeah, that'll be beers now. Now I'm in a spot where I think I have a good group to. Yeah. Do it at any point. We're going to do battle beers. So you're Going to have a grid. You're going to put beers. At certain points, the grid's already made. You get hit, you chug the. If I say G4 and there's a beer there, you drink it. Yep. Correct. Okay, so I think it's like between the four or five different ships, I think it's 16 or 17 beers. Beer drink. Beer drinking is on the rise. That. That's not too many beers. It's like eight each. If they hit quickly, it could be. Yeah, it could be a lot. And it's not like there's no ping pong. You're not like. It's not beer pong or anything. You're just saying the numbers. Yeah. Right. So you're just playing Battleship with beers. Yeah. You're just. One side says a number, the other side does or does not drink a beer. Then they switch turns. And you do that for as long as it takes. As long as it takes. But I was thinking it would be pretty funny to do a bit like, get a woman to be like, I'm really worried. I don't know what he's up to. He's not getting back to me. And then show us. And we're all in, like, tighty whities with, like, sailor hats on. Why Battle. Battle Beers. Playing Battle Beers. Why are you in Tidy Whitey? I think it would just be funny. I agree. I mean, I'm seeing it. Oh, it's like she's. What? There's a thought bubble. She's wondering, I wonder what he's doing with the guys right now. I wonder if he's cheating on me. She's talking to one of her girlfriends. And you're in your underwear. Rare saying G5. Yeah. Hit smart. I feel. Yeah, I feel now that I'm actually thinking about it is a lot of beers. Because this game is going to take about 10 minutes. It'll be quick. There was also an issue. The. Our grid's a little bit smaller because Mikey was eyeballing out the squares. Oh, I gotta see it. Where is it? It's set up on the ping pong table. I'm not sure if eyes. We have eyes on that. Get eyes on the ping pong table. I want to see the battle beers. Oh, oh, oh. That is very small. Why did you got all that surface area? Why did he. We got to make it. Oh, my God. There's. Yep. Well, I guess we could. Are they equal? We could tape a couple of sheets together and make it look a little. I guess we have a couple days to work on it. Yeah, yeah. Don't rush this one. No. Yeah. No. You have a date set. You really flush this idea out. Next Wednesday after basketball. Next Wednesday after basketball. A test run or just a live run? Okay, yeah, actually, for you guys. Ideas? I don't think there should ever. Should be a test run for the beer. I did just go into it. Are you sad that you're not gonna be number one anymore? What are you talking about? At the Yug station. Wait, he hasn't gone yet. So when's he gonna do it? He does go. He will be. Let's go. Right now. Right now? Yeah. All right, Go. But are you sad? No. I mean, I always knew that, but you had the number one for a while. He knew when Deutsch came in, it was going to be a matter. Yeah. All right. Imagine if I was like, Deutsch, I really want to hire you, but I can't because I got to stay. Warning at Young Station. Stay here, Deutsche. I'll go get the. The Yugs ready. I'll get the beers ready. The first one. Usually do two. Sure. I'll do three. I'd like to warm up with a couple. I didn't. It usually doesn't go down very quick. I only have four cups. Wait, can we. How do you only have four? Wait, I don't want. I don't want you to get Just hammered right now. Deutsche, do you have anything? Oh, no, you're doing. No, he's drinking tonight. I'm gonna get drunk tonight anyways. Yeah, I was gonna say we'll do one. We'll do. We'll do one, but we got to do another. Maybe next week. We got to do. How many can Deutsch drink before Lucas's finishes? One. Yeah. That's a man. That's a special. That might get those drunk. Oh, yeah. Get it set up. You know, pour the beer. Wow. He said he only has four cups. How is that. He's only got four mugs, dude. Also, can he just. We. We ran out of budget. We got. We thought of everything except what to drink it out of you like the Ugg station. Deutsch. Pretty cool, huh? Love it. Yeah. Oh, it's a great idea. Oh, what? Oh. Oh, this just made me realize. Can we. Can we see the content we got from Mexico? Day one. So riveting. It's the greatest. I wanted to ask about this because, like, which. He's posting completely different stuff on every website. Yeah. Instagram is where I saw it. The content that I saw first was. Was Tate Tweeted. This out last night. Just got this video of Mincy from Mexico. Yeah, his phone just doesn't work. I want the produced one that he obviously emailed some clips to somebody and they put a track on it. Yeah, we have a day one vlog from Mexico. Needs a patreon when he started at the airport. Yeah. And his quote. Well, I'll just let him. Yeah, yeah, the quote was something. I'm sorry, what are we looking at here? This is mincing in Mexico. Let's check it out. Mincy sent me this clip from Mexico that his buddy snagged of him. What are you not getting, Kate? That is obviously Mincy. That's obviously Mexico. Where, Where's Mincy? Right. There he is. Oh, fire. Oh, yeah. Okay. The vlog though, was just. I, I didn't give me a headache. It's day uno. All right, we are now in Cancun, Mexico, about to go through Immigration is so bad outside, so that's positive. I got to run, go through immigration and the great people Cloud 9 got a shuttle picking me up there in Riviera. I think it's like a 45 minute hour ride, but it's like 2 o' clock right now, so we should be good on time. It's 7:30 show time tonight. Vibes are high, vibes are exquisite. When are they not? Take a tour of the Hard Rock Riviera. M just got here for Panic at La Playa. It's like 13th one. It's the first one I met though. Damn it. And that's what's important. Shout out to Cloud nine, guys. Most important, unbelievable hospitality from Johnny Jordan up there. Freeze it right there. We're about to take a little. He's doing, he's about to do a tour and you would think you take your, you go to a certain place there, you take your camera, you say, all right, this is that, this is that. Or you could just, as you're on the golf cart going by all these places, just show them in a scrolling manner. Yep, sure. That would be the lazy man's way to do it. All right, I'm sorry, continue. You. Yeah, he gives you the intro to nothing. You think that music is. Huh? Yep. That was him talking about going to the water park. Not going to the water park. Just talking about going to the water. Yep. And that is the outside of the water park. Yep, it's in there behind those cabanas. It is the blurriest shit. Right? Yeah. I. So, Chris, it feels like I'm there with you. We've. We've advanced technology to an incredible place. He's shooting. I don't even understand 100 of this on the golf cart. How does it come this blurry? He doesn't say, slow down, stop. Let me get a little bit of this for. For them. I will say his poor editor probably. It probably doesn't look this quality when he makes it. But then Mincy like. Like will download the video in an area with no WI fi or something. Yeah. It's just so bad. And there's the. There's. Okay. Oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm getting sick. This is his content. This is where I'm like, is this on purpose or is it genuine? It's genuine. So if it wasn't, it blows my mind. His biggest week was when Tate got. This is just a fence. Wait, that was just a fence. His biggest week ever is when we sent Tate with him to document. So he knows if he documents it and does a poor job. Right. Get more Tate weeks. But I don't think he thinks like that. Oh, that's the patented Mincy's Mincy Pan. Yeah. Or it just makes you really dizzy. Oh, that's it. Oh, yeah. At the end, he's talking to us the whole time. Yeah, he was talking. He said. And shout out Big cat who said he didn't care if I went or not. Thank you for the endorsement. That meant so much to me. It meant so much to me. Just can't understand what the endorsement actually is. What's that still? Yeah. What's the. What's the top middle? Day three here. Panic in laa. We're out here at the beach stage. There's Cannonball. Why the hell all stars at 3:30. But let's talk about what happened. Oh, he did say that he was going to give us some water stuff. Panic comes out, they open. Greta, it definitely could not have been me yelling, we own you, Georgia at Hottie Toddy. Oh, I bet it was. That's him after the Sugar Bowl. A great opener. Love Bite. Absolutely. One of my favorite songs. Literally viral. I mean, so bad we're paying him a salary. First set was really good air. Anytime you get an airplane is great. But then they played Pusher man for the first time since Noine 2021. Oh, wow. Kind of fitting to play that song in Mexico. Probably love that. I'm absolutely a huge fan. If we walk each other home. It's like my favorite new song by Panic Conrad to end it. It's a real solid first set. They come out. Second set pin it got Like a little dark and heavy. I thought the second set, the JJ Kale Travel Light cover, Big Surprise, Valley Sandwich. Hadn't heard me in the double blues in a little bit. The. Are these words? It's going to be -5. All stuff I like, but kind of have like a darker, heavy theme. But then they kind of just like pulled you out of it late in the second set with a Blue Indian. And then look, I mean, always. Where's the Cannonball? Moving back to Mississippi. Before I lose my mind. I always love Blackout Blues to end it. And then the encore. He's just great. I mean, anytime you get a Buffalo Springfield, for what it's worth, I feel like that song, it's a 60 year old song and it's aged perfectly. It applies to everything going on in the world right now. And then they sent us home happy with Climb to Safety, which people could love or hate. I freaking love Climb to Safety. He loves them all. My favorite lyrics ever. Tom will slowly bow. His ability to remember the entire set list is kind of impressive. You're running like a rabbit. Stick your finger in the die. Oh, oh, oh. Here we go. Hide Your Window Wind. Stage 330 Rage Festival. What if Mincy had one? What if Miny had one of those traumatic brain injuries that Chef Donnie so desperately wants? He comes back and he's. He's like, really good at content. I know. You just said it, but tomorrow we will be driving in negative 5 temperatures to get here. He, this afternoon will be maybe standing in that water, that tropical water, watching his favorite band play. That's right. All right. Yeah. No, good, good, good. Listen, you said. I mean, he. He gets. He gets a salary, but he's. He will never get a raise. He will never get a bonus, so will just root for inflation. Inflation will take care of it. In 25 years from now, Mincy will be making like a quarter. That's all you got to do. Well, you ready, Dana? Oh, ready. All right. Does Widespread Panic, like, know him? Do they, like, say, hey, thanks for. Do they reach out to him at all? No. Will you do the Flavortown read before we get this? Yug Station? What a value for Flavor Town. There you go. Oh, Dan, I don't know if I will. Why, you have it right here. Look at it. Oh, geez. Yeah. The. The playoffs are here, and it's time to raise your game. Wait, what's that coming down the tunnel?

I think I would look older than anybody has ever looked before. I think you could pull it off. Do they still make those, like, the librarian glasses you're talking? Yeah, he's talking about the beaded almost. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll. I'll look into them. I do lose everything that I ever. That's why I can't really do sunglasses. I just lose them.

What ethnicity are you? I don't know. I just kind of made it up. I kind of like, it was a play off of Borat. Okay. Yeah. And so one day I was with my friend, and we were just like, going back and forth, like, talking, like, random accents. And we went into my sorority house for lunch, and the new members were looking at us like. Like they. They thought we were foreign exchange students. So I was walking with my other friend and she's like, what if we just like. Like, post on my Tik Tok cuz she had four followers. She's like, what if we just post on my Tik Tok you talking like that and see if our friends find it? And then I started talking like that, and then more than our friends found it. Holy 1.2 million. Yeah. So then I went that. Oh, it went away. But the tagged one at the LSU game, that was like, my first video that blew up, and I was just getting really excited. We're at the game and I've never been to football like this before. It is. I'm having so much experience. You're really good at. About to get another touchdown over there.

He's surviving. Right there, Zach. One day at a time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good points. Do you think when people talk about barstool and they're like.

The Yak | January 22, 2026 | Barstool Sports
Featuring: Big Cat, Brandon Walker, Rone, Lil Sas, Kate, Steven Cheah, Dana, Zach, and Guests
This jam-packed episode centers on the aftermath of the Yuggernauts' latest rec league basketball heartbreak—with Big Cat reflecting on his (almost) triumphant turn at coaching. The team dissects key moments of collapse, invites the game referee in for a postmortem, welcomes new faces to The Yak office, and veers into the show's signature blend of sports banter, Midwest weather trauma, YouTube deep-dives, food debates, and classic Barstool shenanigans.
Big Cat’s Coaching Recap & Regret
The Yuggernauts finally played a competitive game, only to lose in overtime after leading by eight with three minutes left—Big Cat took over as coach and nearly engineered the miraculous win.
Main regret: The decision to “stall” for the last three minutes, with the team failing to execute the plan for holding possession and getting to double bonus (free throws).
"If you have the clip, TJ, the moment it turned was when white boy Rick, with three minutes left and up eight...Rick had a monster block that he then celebrated like he had just won the Super Bowl...and then that was a turnover, and I think it was a three on that possession." – Big Cat (15:47)
Key criticisms: Nikki Smokes wouldn't stop shooting despite explicit instructions, exhausted players, and missed free throws at the end.
"Your one directive was don't take shots. I said, and he took three." – Big Cat (20:12)
Internal Accountability, Coping, and Coach-Player Dynamics
The “loss” is processed with equal doses of pain and humor; the team agrees they've never been under game pressure before, and this was a step toward not being a punchline franchise.
Big Cat jokes about recruiting tactics, motivating players with personal texts, and calls his group “the most coachable group of guys.”
"The path of a champion is...you gotta learn how to lose small before you win small, then you can win big." – Big Cat (27:40)
Playoff “Dilemma” and Team Decision
Ref Andrew is welcomed to candidly discuss the end-of-game officiating, shot clock confusion, and what it's like reffing Barstool’s circus.
"As much as I would have loved to get you guys the first win...I definitely wanted to see it happen with me as the ref. But I’m a ref, gotta respect that, Big Cat." – Ref Andrew (40:32)
He explains the potential of calling a “foul before the buzzer” but stands by the result, confirming the right call was made.
The hosts heap rare praise on Andrew for his integrity as a ref.
Memorable Moment:
"I kept on yelling to Andrew every time there's a call I disagree with: 'You owe me one, ref!'" – Big Cat (45:13)
White Boy Rick appears to self-flagellate and explain his infamous celebration/gaffe that sparked the team’s collapse.
"I got that block—probably one of the coolest blocks I’ve ever pulled off—and just froze. Started screaming and I lost us the game." – Rick (1:00:55)
The group reassures him—pointing out collective failures, missed rebounds, smirking opponents, and unforced errors precluded any single scapegoat.
Polar Vortex Meltdown
Barstool Chicago’s ongoing rivalry with Midwestern winter sets in: school is canceled due to wind chills of -40, and the “blob” (giant cold front) threatens to freeze the universe.
"Tomorrow's weather is...the most terrifying thing I’ve ever thought about in my life...Atmospheric blob." – Brandon Walker (1:15:03)
Extended discussion on how unprepared transplants and natives alike are for this kind of deep freeze.
Live Bet Lads Travel Talk
The “Coldest Man in the World” Calls In
Viral Bears fan from Hawaii (Yoon) who was “literally freezing to death” at a Chicago playoff game joins the show, retelling his ordeal and Barstool’s good-natured ribbing.
"You were vibrating at one point, like you were shaking." – Big Cat (1:34:19) "I may have been the coldest man on earth, but I was still happy." – Yoon (1:38:10)
YouTube, Concrete, and Snowplows
Zach dives into his love for Wisconsin-based “Victory Outdoor Services” channel—pouring concrete, plowing lots, watching shop maintenance, and contemplating a Make-a-Wish style collab.
"You watch them buy a plow? Yeah, they went, got it...He was upset, he got the wrong truck for the job." – Zach (2:20:10)
Truffle, Slim Jims, and Food Hot Takes
Extended debate on truffle fries (“overrated”), meat sticks (“snap into a Slim Jim!”), fish fries, and the ethics of trapping wild hogs.
"I think truffles overrated...Fries? No, thank you." – Kate (1:55:09) "Fish fries are incredible. I thought they were just a southern thing." – Brandon Walker (2:30:22)
Ministry of Mincy: Live from Mexico
The show ridicules Mincy’s blurry, rambling “vlogs” from a Widespread Panic festival in Cancun.
"He will never get a raise. He will never get a bonus. So we'll just root for inflation." – Big Cat (2:48:42)
Meet Liz—The Fake Foreign Exchange Student
Beer Chugging, Battleship, and Tighty-Whities
Yug Station Relived
Live in-studio beer chug content: Office legend Deutsch downs a beer in 1.8 seconds, impressing fellow Yakkers.
"What would you predict is your actual time on this? —Maybe a little under two [seconds]." – Deutsch (2:53:33)
On the critical collapse:
"We all know the moment it turned...White Boy Rick, with three minutes left and up eight...monster block, celebrated, turnover, they hit a three. That was when it started to crumble." – Big Cat (15:47)
On team spirit:
"The path of a champion...you gotta lose small before you win small, then you can win big." – Big Cat (27:40)
On coaching frustrations:
"I told everyone, you take a three-pointer, you're out of the game. ...Nikki Smokes just shot the ball like 15 seconds into the possession. Missed both." – Big Cat (19:50)
On Midwest winter:
"Tomorrow's weather is the most terrifying thing I've ever thought about in my life...If you're outside ten minutes: frostbite!" – Brandon Walker (1:15:03)
On the “Coldest Man Alive”:
"I may have been the coldest man on earth, but I was still happy." – Yoon, Bears fan (1:38:10)
On new Barstool staff:
"So I'm a fake foreign exchange student. I came up with a bit...and then I started talking like that, and then more than our friends found it [on TikTok]." – Liz (2:55:20)
On Mincy’s content:
"We’ve advanced technology to an incredible place...He’s shooting 100% of this on the golf cart...how does it come this blurry?" – Rone (2:46:50)
This episode delivers everything The Yak is known for—raucous, self-aware sports talk, workplace carnival energy, and deep-dish Midwestern relatability, capped with viral fan interactions and beer-fueled team spirit. Essential listening if you want a front-row seat to the Barstool Chicago universe—no matter how cold it gets.
