Episode Overview

This chaotic, laughter-filled episode of The Yak brings comedian/author Sam Tallent and DJ duo Two Friends into the boisterous Barstool universe. The crew delivers their signature blend of irreverent banter, absurd personal stories, and playful roasting, all layered with Sam Tallent’s quick wit and bold one-liners. The second half is dominated by a surreal saga: Mincy, a recurring Barstool character, brings a date (a pickleball influencer) on a midday tour of the office, leaving the whole crew alternately bewildered and entertained as they debate the boundaries of work, content, and audacity. Meanwhile, there's plenty of cross-talk about sports memorabilia, bodily mishaps, DJ culture, and the wild “content” ecosystem at Barstool.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Tall Guy Woes & Joking on Height (03:00–18:00)

• The team humorously laments the "waste" of tall genetics among Barstool's crew ("an inordinate amount of pathetic titans").
• The argument: Tall guys should be conquering worlds or doing great things, not sitting in a podcast studio.
• “If I was three inches taller, I’d be world famous. Take over Europe.” — [Big Cat, 17:44]
• Banter leads to jokes about health risks for tall men and the legitimacy of their careers.

2. Titus’ IndyCar Adventure (06:00–12:30)

• Titus shares detailed insights from his high-speed experience in an IndyCar (up to 190 mph), including the fear and exhilaration.
• “It was the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my life, honestly…you’re so slow compared to real drivers.” — [Titus, 07:09]
• Anecdotes about feeling “carsick,” the smoothness of the ride, and difference between real drivers and guests.
• Parallel drawn to “men who go to space and never see the same again” [09:56].

3. Infamous Sports Banners & Memorabilia (02:50–05:30)

• Ongoing bit: the hunt for “embarrassing” sports banners, like FSU’s COVID-canceled Final Four and Mississippi State’s baseball title, with plans for content stunts.
• “You’re buying thick moments of lapses in judgment.” — [Sam Tallent, 04:12]

4. Squanto, Smoking, and Mashups: Freewheeling asides (14:00–20:00)

• Absurd, winding chat about Squanto from U.S. history—“Imagine being a pilgrim and a Native guy just goes, ‘Hi, I speak your language.’” [Big Cat, 15:19]
• Tangents about school days, “patches” for sobriety, random sports, and social superlatives.

5. Sam Tallent and Dana Debate On-Life Changes, Body Image, and Comedy (25:00–47:00)

• Dana discusses losing 100 lbs and the resulting “sexual renaissance” and self-image confusion.
• “Every 30 pounds you lose, that adds an inch to your penis.” — [Dana, 25:20]
• Sam and Dana lampoon the trope that comedians must be fat to be funny.
• "If I ever did a lot of bits where I sat in pies, maybe I'd worry about losing weight..." — [Dana, 47:50]

6. DJ Culture with Two Friends: Mashups, Corporate Gigs, and Brand Evolution (56:00–79:00)

• Two Friends, DJ duo, discuss their “Big Booty Mix” series, the art of mashups, and experiences from massive shows to soul-draining corporate gigs.
• “We’re friends first, DJ duo second.” — [Two Friends, 56:50]
• Past gig horror stories: playing for empty rooms, “a ladder is brought onto the dance floor—a real low point” [68:30].
• “We've always tried to make it feel live and organic, with drumlines and horns.” — [Two Friends, 59:21]
• Reflecting on branding: initially featured “booty” art, then pivoted after feedback even from their moms.

7. Live Show Energy and Dealing with Odd Crowds (74:00–76:00)

• Q: What’s harder—doing comedy while the whole room’s dancing or DJing while everyone’s laughing?
• Two Friends share their approach to fatigue (“over two and a half hours, even a DJ set gets physically punishing”), how they keep shows high energy, and opening for themselves at their own events.

8. Mincy’s Date: Office Tour as Romance (Approx 103:00–141:00)

• The centerpiece subplot: Mincy brings a date (a pickleball influencer) on a “tour” of Barstool HQ—during the middle of a workday.
• The crew’s incredulity: “Who brings a date to the office? In the middle of the day?!” [Big Cat, 129:39]
• Mincy claims, “You gotta use all the tools at your disposal… 42, firing boys, what are you gonna do?”
• “We’re out here… I mean, anytime there’s a chance to hang out with beautiful women, I’m gonna try to do it.” — [Mincy, 117:37]
• Lengthy, farcical inquisition into Mincy’s thought process, boundaries, and whether this counts as “content.”
• Big Cat wavering between frustration and amusement: “I’m soft on crime because it’s so ridiculous. And what else is he gonna do?” [131:03]
• Running joke: Mandate that Mincy’s only allowed to go on dates if he brings them to the office—“you are no longer allowed to date at night or weekends.”

9. Meta Commentary: Barstool's Content Ecosystem (143:34–148:38)

• The crew reflects on the value of having offbeat, disruptive personalities (“the premier animal at the circus”), defending the “content” role Mincy plays, despite confusion or aggravation.
• “He is our grizzly bear on a unicycle." — [Big Cat, 144:06]

The Episode’s Tone & Vibe

Classic Yak: loud, quick-witted, relentlessly self-deprecating. There’s a mix of affection and exasperation in the roasting. The guests fit the chaotic energy (especially Sam Tallent, who is both instigator and observant straight man, dropping clever lines and delighting in the disorder).
The conversations spiral naturally—one minute it’s the merits of being tall, next it’s trivia championships, then a long aside on the gender of rivers, and suddenly a live, detailed breakdown of an office faux pas.

---

Useful for Non-Listeners

• Barstool fans & podcast comedy lovers: This episode typifies the “anything goes” Yak energy—deeply unserious, heavy on running jokes, and driven by strong recurring personalities (Big Cat, Mincy, Nick, Dana, etc.).
• Sam Tallent fans: He gets ample space to riff, plug his book/tour, and throw out existential jokes about the weird life of comics.
• DJ/Music fans: Two Friends provide funny, honest behind-the-scenes insights into the reality of the DJ grind, from huge shows to playing for nine accountants at a corporate party.
• Anyone interested in internet/bizarre workplace culture: The protracted saga of Mincy’s “date as content” is performance art in absurdity, exploring blurred lines between life and online persona.

---

Final Note:
If you like unpredictable, sometimes aimless banter with real laugh-out-loud moments, escalating bits, and a funny peek into this uniquely dysfunctional office, this is peak Yak. You’ll never schedule a date at 3:30pm at your own workplace again—or maybe you will.

[Big Cat]

Hello, it's the yak. Welcome in sellblue coffee.com go right now. Stellblue coffee.com we actually were at Pause earlier today. We did a little adoptathon. It was a lot of fun. We're trying to save a thousand dogs this year. We're drinking right now and our friend Sam Talon is here. He's also drinking it.

[Dana]

I can't get enough of this stuff.

[Big Cat]

And he also like liquid crystal meth.

[Sam Talon]

And he came in, he came in

[Big Cat]

to the studio and he said, where's, where's old Kev?

[Dana]

Yeah, yeah.

[Big Cat]

And we're like, who are you talking about? He's like, you know the, the, the, the big southern guy.

[Dana]

I said that's perfect.

[Big Cat]

That is perfect.

[Sam Talon]

The stately southern jet. But then you said don't bring that up on the show.

[Dana]

Yeah, I thought the man's seven. Because I was like, that's a dumb name for like a big man. Well, a man from the South.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dana]

His name's actually Brandon.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah, his name's actually Thomas.

[Dana]

What?

[Sam Talon]

It goes by Brian.

[Dana]

This thing goes all the way to the top.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

Don't, don't keep pulling this.

[Dana]

What's he running from?

[Eddie]

A lot.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Anxiety. Crippling anxiety.

[Dana]

I bet he, like, was mean to someone very powerful in Clarksdale and had to flee.

[Big Cat]

I also heard a story about old Kev that.

[Dana]

God damn it.

[Big Cat]

That. That someone told. A birdie told me. So obviously you guys have watched my memorabilia the last week where I've just been trying to buy everything. I did buy an NBA Finals. I don't know if you guys saw it. I bought an NBA Finals banner from that hung in the concourse of the Phoenix Suns arena and I gifted it to Ryan Roso. I was hoping he would not accept the gift so I could hang it,

[Titus]

but he accepted it.

[Sam Talon]

He flew back with it.

[Big Cat]

We're sending it to a nice 14 foot banner that was just like outside of probably where you could get like chicken finger.

[Sam Talon]

I saw the clip. It's a beaut.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

When he dies, you're gonna put it over his casket, like.

[Big Cat]

Yes, yes, exactly.

[Nick]

So.

[Big Cat]

And then I'm also hot on the trail. The FSU Covid banner, which I'm very excited for because I think the coach might come up here and we might. We might do some content. And then it was told to me that Brandon is trying to get the 2021 Mississippi State Bulldogs National Championship baseball banner.

[Dana]

Now who's Brandon?

[Titus]

What?

[Big Cat]

I don't think he understands what I'm doing. No, that's just a real banner.

[Sam Talon]

That's something a lot of people.

[Titus]

Why would he want to. We're not in school.

[Big Cat]

We're not putting that up.

[Titus]

That's crazy.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

And he wants to take that prideful thing from the school.

[Titus]

Take it from the school.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

You're buying thick moments of like, lacks of judgment.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, exactly. Like embarrassing banners that like this FSU banner and credit to fsu because they're. They're like, yeah.

[Dana]

Why?

[Big Cat]

Like, this would be funny.

[Dana]

We.

[Big Cat]

You know, it's a ridiculous banner. Can you find a picture for it?

[Titus]

TJ made sense at the time.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Titus]

In that one. Ish. But they like kind of saw what they were thinking. But then like one month later you're like, what the.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, they. I texted like a bunch of people at FSU and like they had to dig deep to find it in like the storage units.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Cuz you wouldn't hang this banner anymore.

[Mincy]

No.

[Big Cat]

Number four ranking. Final ranking.

[Titus]

The rationale is cancel. Yeah, you hang final four banners. The tournament was canceled. They were four. They were like, yeah, we would have made the. And then, like, one week later, someone was like, that's dumb.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. But then we should take.

[Dana]

That's such a waste of silk.

[Titus]

We should take that.

[Big Cat]

But Brandon's like, I want a championship better.

[Kate]

Yeah. He's completely.

[Dana]

Well, he has those big bay windows in his plantation, you know?

[Big Cat]

Yeah. His farmhouse.

[Dana]

He wants to drink sweet tea and fan himself in front of it.

[Sam Talon]

You're joking. But this is all true.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

I bet he has a stately manner, and I would love to go praise the gardens with him.

[Sam Talon]

You're probably welcome anytime.

[Tate]

I got his own pond.

[Dana]

What?

[Tate]

Oh, he has a pond named after him.

[Nick]

That's right.

[Sam Talon]

The Brandon Walker.

[Big Cat]

We got the mayor to name his. The pond after him for his birthday.

[Dana]

I bet that was pretty easy to achieve.

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Well, no, the. The mayor.

[Dana]

Then I met the mayor of Possum. Junct.

[Sam Talon]

A lot to do.

[Big Cat]

No. So he lives. He lives, like, close to the Wisconsin border in a small town. And the mayor came on, and the mayor was like. We asked him.

[Titus]

He.

[Big Cat]

He basically was mayor. He was forced to be mayor. He was like, I don't really want to be doing this.

[Sam Talon]

We were like, won't this piss other people that live on the pond off? He's like, I don't care.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. He's like, I gotta do this for one more year, then I'm done.

[Dana]

Yeah, I like ATVs. That's my thing. The lake's poison.

[Sam Talon]

Anyway, Titus, I want to hear about your trip.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yeah. You were in India.

[Titus]

The coolest thing I've ever done in my life, actually. It was awesome. Yeah. We did two laps in the car,

[Sam Talon]

but you hate everything.

[Big Cat]

Hold on, hold on. The coolest thing. You won the Chili's Three for me.

[Titus]

I won the Chili and Jeff. DLO did just say that I was the. The defensive player of the year in the dozen this year.

[Sam Talon]

Wait, you won defensive player in trivia?

[Titus]

Yeah, he broke that news to me, which I thought, wow.

[Big Cat]

Wait, the season's over.

[Titus]

I was also surprised.

[Sam Talon]

I don't know if we have another match, so I think nobody can catch you.

[Big Cat]

Got it.

[Dana]

It's all about hustle and want to, man.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah, you're a stalwart.

[Titus]

I gotta. I got a hand up when other teams were asking questions or trying to

[Dana]

answer questions right in their face, putting your hips into them.

[Big Cat]

We.

[Titus]

We went like, I. I didn't get an official number, but I asked Connor Daly, who we had on the act, and. And we. Yeah, we set it all up on. On here. I asked him. I was like, how fast were we going? He was like, probably like somewhere between 180, 190. Maybe, like, maybe touched 190 fast as. But what was crazy to me is that the. The drivers are going like 40 miles an hour. Like 30, 40 miles an hour faster than that. We were going extremely sl. Hard, standard, like extreme. Like, if. If you go that fast in the race, they immediately say, this is an emergency. You have to get off the track.

[Big Cat]

Right.

[Titus]

You're so slow. And I was. My pants the whole first lap. I was just like, oh, oh, oh.

[Sam Talon]

Did you make sounds that you've never.

[Titus]

Oh, yeah, yeah. It's just a lot.

[Mincy]

Oh.

[Big Cat]

Oh.

[Titus]

And then by the time the second lap happened, I. I calmed down a little bit and I took it all in and I was like, this is the cool. I will never do anything this cool ever again. That's amazing. It was awesome. Turning down turn four and you got like the home stretch with the pagoda and the start finish line and the whole thing. It was so cool. It was. It was really, really cool.

[Sam Talon]

You're glowing, Mark.

[Titus]

Yeah, it was.

[Sam Talon]

You came in here after the birth of your daughter as well, and it wasn't even close.

[Big Cat]

You were waiting.

[Titus]

Yeah, no, this is.

[Big Cat]

This is better than that because I.

[Titus]

I'll probably have another kid. I won't do that again.

[Big Cat]

Oh, wow.

[Dana]

You don't know, it's funny to think of the idea of, like, you know, when people hit their heads and then they can speak, like, perfect Mandarin or something.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah.

[Dana]

It's like you get above 175 and you can just speak, like, fluent Cantonese.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Ebo. Did you see Ebo? He looked. Yeah, he looks like an indie car.

[Big Cat]

Stunning.

[Titus]

Ibo didn't want to take off the fire suit because he thought if I walk around the track, people think I'm a driver. The practices are open to fans.

[Dana]

Still looks good.

[Titus]

So there are, like, a lot of fans there. Like, they. They open up the track all month and people can go out and stuff. So, like, the drivers will stop and sign autographs and take pictures and everything. If Ibo kept his suit on, I think he would have been stopped like a thousand times.

[Big Cat]

He's got the right build, too.

[Titus]

Oh, yeah. He's got the swagger. He's got the fast glasses on.

[Kate]

What did it feel like on your body? Or was it so smooth of a ride. You didn't really feel it.

[Sam Talon]

We want to hear about your balls.

[Titus]

It was. It was the. So it wasn't as taxing as I thought it would be. Like, I was scared that, like, my bowels were just going to empty immediately. You know, it felt like a smooth roller coaster. If you've ever been on, like, a coaster that does, like, the zero to fast real. One of those. One of the ones where they just hit the button and, like, away you go. It was like that, but it was extremely smooth. Yeah. And. And the. The, like your head's just kind of like, going like this the whole time, but that's. You know, you kind of get used to it. And they strap you in so tight you can't really move.

[Nick]

Wow.

[Sam Talon]

But you said this a once in a lifetime thing, but you loved it. But you have no desire to.

[Titus]

Oh, I'm going to do it again.

[Sam Talon]

Okay.

[Dana]

Okay.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, it's one of those once in a lifetime things you've got to keep doing.

[Titus]

Yeah. It's like a. It's like Chef Donnie's generational trips. He goes on, like, every single one once a month.

[Big Cat]

Did you have any control of the car? No.

[Dana]

No.

[Titus]

Evan's not.

[Sam Talon]

You'd be dead.

[Big Cat]

I think that's next. Next year.

[Titus]

Next.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I didn't know if there was, like, a double. Like, it would be fun if they even gave you a steering wheel that did nothing.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Just to feel something made of phone.

[Titus]

Oh, it was.

[Big Cat]

It.

[Titus]

It simultaneously was like a snap of a finger, but also felt like it was like I can replay, like, every specific moment in my head where, like, it feels like it took, like, a week almost as I replay it. I don't know. It was. It was incredible.

[Dana]

It's like when men have space and they can never look at Earth again.

[Titus]

That is kind of how I felt. Yeah.

[Kate]

They get really sad, right?

[Dana]

Yeah. Because, like, they've. They've ascended beyond the realm of man. And that was you yesterday for, like, how long were you in that car? Like, four.

[Titus]

It was five miles. Okay.

[Dana]

So.

[DJ 1]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Not. Not long for them at all.

[DJ 2]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Did your couple minutes become rigid or, like, is there any kind of, like, blood to the peen? It seems like it was.

[Big Cat]

Any pre. When you got out?

[Sam Talon]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Did you soak your suit? Oh, yeah. That's why they have to wear those

[Sam Talon]

suits, the fire suits, for build up to the neck.

[Titus]

Put on the C suit.

[Sam Talon]

But, like, you know, when you're on, like, a swinging ship, it's almost like an odd sensation on testicles, but it's you kind of want it.

[Titus]

I. I didn't. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

The. The, like the bottom of your stomach.

[Titus]

Yeah, I get carsick easily and that didn't factor in at all. So, like, it was. It was really smooth.

[Big Cat]

You get carsick easily?

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Mincy]

He puked in San Francisco.

[Big Cat]

Dude.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Titus]

I usually drive.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

And he was going 190.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. That was good.

[Tate]

You've been to the race a bunch. Did you learn anything that you were like, oh, I really didn't know that.

[Titus]

I did. And then I forgot it all.

[Tate]

Okay.

[Titus]

They were explaining all the technical stuff to me and I'm very stupid.

[Big Cat]

Well, you learn they go fast. Yeah.

[Tate]

I just want to sit in the

[Sam Talon]

car and go, does it seem easy? Because it looks easy.

[Big Cat]

It is incredibly.

[Kate]

Yeah. Don't do this.

[Mincy]

No, it does not look easy.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it does.

[Titus]

Those guys are insane. They're actually agreed. Death like Connor. Connor Daly was. Was standing right next to the car. Like, when we get done, I hop out of the car and I. The first thing I said to him is like, you're out of your mind that you do this. And yeah, that's when he pointed out. He's like, you know what's crazy is that we go way faster and there's. There are other cars trying to pass you. Cut in front of you.

[Kate]

Right.

[Titus]

It's. It's. I don't get it. I don't get what. There's something wrong with your brain chemistry if you want to get into that.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

So you're running away.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Dana]

You're just trying to get away from an uncle.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Or.

[Sam Talon]

It's all.

[Tate]

Imagine if those guys saw a woman on a lawnmower.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, they'd lose their mind. What is she doing?

[Titus]

So I.

[Tate]

So fast.

[Titus]

I'm so excited for the race, though. But yeah, it was. It was awesome. And I do think it, like, if you are. If you are a hater that thinks it's easy. That was.

[Dana]

That's.

[Titus]

I open.

[Big Cat]

Oh, that doesn't make us haters.

[Dana]

What's it make position realistic people. No, it doesn't.

[Big Cat]

Look, see, driving in a circle and being like, easy.

[Kate]

It looks impossible.

[Sam Talon]

16 year olds can do that.

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Titus]

So that is true.

[Dana]

If there's any IndyCar drivers out there, I don't want to besmirch your contributions. I went to the Indy 500 and I was blown away.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah. Is it your favorite event?

[Titus]

It's my favorite anything in the world.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Again, you won the three for me.

[Titus]

I know.

[Big Cat]

I keep forgetting about that. What the you talking about, dude?

[Titus]

Yak Gauntlet Championship, Indy 500 dozen. Defensive player of the Year.

[Dana]

That is a good credit. Yeah, it's a good cv.

[Sam Talon]

Anyway, we make fun of defensive player of the Year. You were lights out.

[Big Cat]

You were.

[Kate]

You were good offensively. Yeah, I would be pissed. You got trivia defense.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. What does that mean?

[Dana]

Slap the buzzer out of their head heels.

[Titus]

Oh, yeah, that's.

[Big Cat]

Why are you guys ranked sixth?

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Dana]

People are saying he's the Theo Ratliff of trivia.

[Big Cat]

I mean, congrats. That's huge. He's gonna go off.

[Kate]

I'm gonna look him up.

[Dana]

Theo Ratliff was. He was like the poor man's Dennis Rodman. He was really fun out there. He would get, like, 15 rebounds and, like, somehow negative three points every game, but that's fun. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I put KB onto something today that kind of blew his mind.

[Dana]

Nobody Pyongyang.

[Sam Talon]

Something with gang.

[Big Cat]

Oh, wait, hold on. Let me do Roebuck Roeback activewear. Best fit, best feel. Spring is coming, which means Roback's Azalea collection is back. Your favorite azalea design in several colors. New designs, new products. Secondly, Roback has launched two new products that you all should know about. First or Tailwind sports shirt might be the most comfortable. Nice shirt out there.

[Dana]

It's a great shirt.

[Big Cat]

It's made for date night. Perfect combo. Looking casual, but nice and still be comfortable. They also released a sweater polo that we're here for. Great stretch fabric, making it very comfortable and breathable. Use the code yak for 20 off your first purchase. That's 20 off all polos, hoodies, sports shirts, and more. Use code YAK and head over to roback.com rh O-B-A c k dot com. No, I was talking about Squanto.

[Kate]

So my understanding of Squanto, like, I

[Big Cat]

was reading a book with I. The. The Tree House. Is that what the. The Magic Treehouse books.

[Sam Talon]

There's a school bus that's magic.

[Big Cat]

No school bus.

[Kate]

You said you went down a rabbit hole. You're talking about children's book.

[Big Cat]

I read the children's book to my son. Then I was like, let me. Let me look into this Squanto guy. You go, magic Treehouse. Let me look at this Squanto guy. The office blows my mind, dude.

[Titus]

Squanto taught the white man how to plant stuff.

[Big Cat]

Squanto knew English.

[Sam Talon]

They knew English.

[Big Cat]

The pilgrim showed up, and Squanto was just hanging out. He's like, oh, I speak your language. How crazy that would be.

[Kate]

That this is all folklore? No, everything we know about Thanksgiving and

[Big Cat]

the first pilgrims is a real man.

[Dana]

Quit saying Squanto. Why? Sounds like we all hit our heads. Who's Squanto?

[Big Cat]

He's a real man.

[Sam Talon]

You don't know Squanto?

[Dana]

No.

[Big Cat]

He was kidnapped. He then converted to Catholicism.

[Dana]

Oh, you mean.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, you know him by.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah, and then. And then.

[Titus]

Oh, do you know him, Dana?

[Nick]

That's like two towns away from.

[Big Cat]

Oh, Dana.

[Sam Talon]

Wait, you grew up two towns away from Squant?

[Kate]

What's his last name? You might know some of his school.

[Nick]

I don't know.

[Dana]

Probably o'.

[DJ 2]

Leary.

[Big Cat]

But dude, imagine being a pilgrim showing up to America and then there's just a Native American who speaks English.

[Dana]

What's up, guys?

[Big Cat]

That's gotta you up so bad.

[Dana]

Yo. Howdy. Hey, what up?

[Sam Talon]

Welcome, ladies.

[Dana]

Drink free

[Big Cat]

Squanto. I mean, unfortunate way for that to happen because he got kidnapped and then slaves and all that stuff, but still pretty cool that he spoke English.

[Dana]

Yeah. He got caught up in the gears of progress.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Nick]

He died in Chatham.

[Dana]

A lot of guys have died in Chatham,

[Nick]

a beautiful town.

[Big Cat]

This is like 400 years ago.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah, but yeah, Chatham probably wasn't always nice.

[Big Cat]

They probably didn't have calzones yet there.

[Sam Talon]

He died in 1620.

[Kate]

Did you play against Chatham or Plymouth a lot? Did they have any.

[Titus]

They rocked slightly.

[Kate]

Brown.

[Nick]

Yeah, one kid was really good. C.J. ward.

[Kate]

Feathered.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Did.

[Sam Talon]

Did you play against Native American?

[Dana]

He.

[Nick]

I don't know if he was Native American. He was slightly tan.

[Dana]

He was just Sicilian.

[Big Cat]

He's been outside for too long.

[Sam Talon]

Did he have long straight hair?

[Nick]

No.

[Big Cat]

Did he speak perfect English?

[Dana]

I think. And probably Portuguese, knowing the area. I'm Sam, by the way.

[Nick]

Hey, Sam. I'm Dana.

[Dana]

How are you?

[Nick]

How are you, brother?

[Dana]

You're a hulking man.

[Nick]

Yeah, I'm one of the pathetic titans we have.

[Big Cat]

What? Yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah, we. A lot of them.

[Dana]

It wasn't me.

[Big Cat]

It was Nick that was now plenty of us. He realized. He came to the realization a couple months ago that we have just an inordinate amount.

[Kate]

Unbelievable size.

[Sam Talon]

It's a lot of off in here.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

A bunch of like, dudes that are 65 that should be doing anything besides what we're doing.

[Dana]

They should be like arena football.

[Sam Talon]

How tall are you?

[Dana]

I'm six four.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

You're about to piss off Kyle.

[Dana]

It's an honor.

[Sam Talon]

You're a waste.

[Kate]

It's unbelievable.

[Dana]

What? Because you. You would like to have more stature.

[Kate]

I would, but it's like you think

[Dana]

we're wasting it because we're not a

[Kate]

representation of the average man.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

And it makes me look.

[Big Cat]

He thinks guys our size should be doing something more with our lives.

[Dana]

Oh, you're included.

[Mincy]

I don't feel.

[DJ 2]

Yeah.

[DJ 1]

Oh, yeah.

[Dana]

Huh. Dana, right?

[Nick]

I know.

[Dana]

Classic Kyle.

[Nick]

Do more.

[Titus]

Kyle ran the calculus on what he would be able to do if he was taller.

[Sam Talon]

If you said he was like 3 inches taller.

[Big Cat]

Take over Europe.

[Kate]

I said I'd be world famous.

[DJ 1]

World famous.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

We know.

[Dana]

What you're gonna do is see 2070, unlike us.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kate]

That's not how it works.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it is.

[Nick]

You don't see a whole lot of old tall.

[Dana]

We'll be dead and buried. We get blood clots from all the pussy.

[Big Cat]

All the big important business meetings we

[Dana]

have to sit in, all that money we're carrying around. I, I, I've heard this argument and I, I empathize, but I don't think you're missing out on anything. Man, my knees hurt.

[Big Cat]

No, he is. You're, you're doing the thing where.

[Dana]

What? Being nice?

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Lying about how cool it is to be huge.

[Nick]

Come on, man.

[Titus]

Do the thing. We all agree.

[Nick]

I got bad. I had arthritis, I think.

[Dana]

Yeah. From going down on so many women.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah.

[Dana]

You got neck pain.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Dana]

I'm sorry. This is clearly a long running thing, but as the new pathetic titan. Welcome. Thank you.

[Nick]

Welcome. You should see the roster.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. You have.

[Sam Talon]

It's everybody but Kai.

[Big Cat]

You fit in perfectly here.

[Dana]

It's just a bunch of like 10th grade bullies who are now 37.

[Sam Talon]

That's all it is. Yeah, that's all it is.

[Big Cat]

Speaking of which, did you see there was like. I walked in today and there was this.

[Dana]

Hey, man, we're kidding. Come on, we're joking around. Don't step on the turf anywh. If you were taller, you could have reached the handle.

[Kate]

I went to fart. I was trying to fart outside.

[Dana]

Kate likes it. I farted into the hallway.

[Sam Talon]

You got out of your.

[Dana]

And farted into the hotel room, into the hall. That was fun. Some guy gave me drugs last night and I ate them way too late. And I think I'm still a little.

[Tate (mentioned)]

What kind of drugs?

[Dana]

It was some candy that he said was like, you know, insano candy. It's insane.

[Eddie]

Oh, candy.

[Dana]

He's in the merch line. He has 30 seconds to be like. This is a proprietary blend of CB and thc. And you eat it, but make sure you don't have any mango juice. Like someone's Dragging him away.

[Big Cat]

Did you guys see Nikki smokes today? I mean, I know he's a douchebag.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

He sat in the kitchen for hours just doing this.

[Tate]

Drake out.

[Big Cat]

Not talking to anyone, just letting everyone know that he's listening.

[Kate]

He was bopping like a silhouette in an Apple commercial.

[Big Cat]

He was dancing around, not conversing anything like that.

[Sam Talon]

He did this on mostly sports too, but he took AirPods out, so he has two different sets of headphones to listen to Drake today. He said he's not listening to it anymore. He's hearing it.

[Big Cat]

Look at this.

[Titus]

There's a chance he has AirPods on underneath that.

[Nick]

Look at.

[Big Cat]

Look at what he's doing.

[Dana]

He's performatively enjoying Drake.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, my God.

[Big Cat]

Oh, that ending was brutal, Dana.

[Dana]

Oh, rip him in half.

[Nick]

This is.

[Dana]

That stinks.

[Nick]

This is unfortunate.

[Dana]

I was happy for Shane that he got to go up there and.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that was cool. One of the videos.

[Dana]

It meant a lot to him.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

No one's making fun of him in group chats anywhere. No one's phone is physically hot from receiving messages.

[Big Cat]

He's treating it like it's like a sports team, like winning a championship.

[Dana]

Well, I think you. It's like, you know, stuck with them. So he's cheering for the. The Cleveland Browns.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Since it's the opposite, sports fans treat their team like. Like they're Drake.

[Big Cat]

What do you mean?

[Kate]

I don't know.

[Big Cat]

Ready to go. I was ready to go down the road.

[Sam Talon]

I was good. Abandoning it immediately.

[Dana]

And I was saying the Cleveland Browns because they're bad at sports, not due to the skin tone of the artists in question. I want to be very clear right here. Yes.

[Nick]

Yes.

[Dana]

Where's Kevin? Did you know Brandon's name was Brandon?

[Nick]

It's not Brandon.

[Dana]

Yeah. It's Thomas.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Sam walked in and said, where's. Where's Kev? Kev? Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

He was a big ass.

[Nick]

Kevin. Kevin.

[Dana]

And I also. I honestly thought his name was Kyle, but I went with Kevin because I thought it was. There was an end at the end of it and there was. It's Brandon.

[Kate]

So have you met Kyle?

[Dana]

Has anyone met Kyle?

[Sam Talon]

That's a really good question, Sam.

[Big Cat]

That's true.

[Dana]

He has a real Kyle.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Are you pissed I'm Kyle? I know you are. Are you pissed about us being tall?

[Kate]

Honestly?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Oh, you kind of look like. He kind of looks like Deutsch.

[Big Cat]

Are you talking about Sam right now? Yeah, yeah. He's in the room.

[Dana]

Put up Deutsch.

[Big Cat]

He just talked about you like you

[Sam Talon]

Were object if I said to him,

[Big Cat]

he's a bearded lady behind.

[Dana]

You look like Nick Rochefort, so.

[Nick]

Yeah, I do look like Nick.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Nick]

I don't know who Nick is.

[Dana]

You don't know? Put up Deutsch.

[Sam Talon]

That's Deutsche.

[Dana]

Oh, this is like a guy with cheekbones. Yeah. I look exactly like him.

[Big Cat]

He's one of our pathetic titan.

[Nick]

Hey, there's me.

[Dana]

What's Deutsch's deal?

[Big Cat]

He drinks beer.

[Nick]

He's the best guy we got.

[Dana]

That's like me.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Drink beers.

[Dana]

I quit drinking beers, But I would. I drink a bunch now to impress anyone in this room.

[Nick]

Should be on the case. Race.

[Titus]

I would.

[Dana]

I would crush on that. Honestly, I would come out of retirement for the kid.

[Big Cat]

We owe one this summer.

[Dana]

I would come out. Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

Would you give us your sobriety chip?

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Dana]

I mean, we collect. I'm not sober.

[Sam Talon]

Dana used to go around town collecting them. Yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Dana]

By force. He'd put them on people upside down and shake.

[Big Cat]

He'd put a hole in them and put them on his keychain.

[Dana]

Yeah, right.

[Big Cat]

Like scouts.

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

He's like. Like squad the judge.

[Big Cat]

Sam, this is Deutsch.

[Sam Talon]

Okay.

[DJ 1]

Sleeveless.

[Dana]

I like that.

[Big Cat]

That's beer, too. Yeah.

[Dana]

Down the hatch again.

[Titus]

Once again, Drake rules.

[Dana]

Drink it.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Drinking beers is sick.

[Nick]

I have gotten a ridiculous amount of people DMing me being like, hey, man, love your content. Like, you've. You've made me drink again.

[Dana]

That's good.

[Sam Talon]

You're a hero, Dana.

[Dana]

My first novel, people would hit me up, and they're like, I quit cocaine. And then I read your. Your book, and now I'm actively on cocaine.

[Sam Talon]

Made me want to do it.

[Dana]

That's great.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Welcome back.

[Tate]

There were shows. I quit smoking. Then I'd watch certain shows, or they made it look so good.

[Big Cat]

I'd be like, well, yeah.

[Tate]

Back again.

[Dana]

Emily in Paris. I was sucking down six. Yeah.

[Titus]

Madman.

[Dana]

Yeah, Madman. Yeah.

[Titus]

It's good smoking.

[Dana]

You like drinking beers and being huge.

[Nick]

Yeah,

[Dana]

man.

[Nick]

We got a lot of those guys.

[Sam Talon]

You might need to change your bio.

[Titus]

That's your B.

[Sam Talon]

And I'm all out of huge.

[Dana]

Yeah. Just kidding. It's a picture of your penis.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, boy.

[Nick]

That's a whole thing. So we don't talk about my penis.

[Big Cat]

Oh, okay.

[Tate]

Well, we do a lot.

[Nick]

Is it little? Oh, yeah.

[Dana]

You're lying.

[Nick]

I don't want to talk about it.

[Dana]

But let's see it.

[Nick]

Because it's all I do when I come on this program. I would show it, but, you know.

[Sam Talon]

But what?

[Nick]

You guys should run YouTube for.

[Dana]

For this event out here.

[Big Cat]

That's not why you would. That's what's stopping you, YouTube. Stopping you from showing everyone your penis.

[Nick]

I'm kidding.

[Dana]

Okay, you guys should do an event where you put everyone's through a hole and then everyone has to guess them online.

[Big Cat]

We did. We basically did that with our. We all measured independent.

[Titus]

Came very close to doing.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, we came super.

[Tate]

Guess what the show average is.

[Dana]

5. 2. 5.2.

[Sam Talon]

No, I think we have some liars

[Big Cat]

on the Z's back there. You forgot about Z. Oh, yeah.

[Dana]

So 5.6.

[Big Cat]

No, we're 6.26.

[Sam Talon]

Hard.

[Dana]

Yeah, hard. Okay. Hard school. Hard school. I bet someone's skewing the average. Yeah, we've done.

[Big Cat]

Her clit is enormous and wide.

[Dana]

Prehensile.

[Big Cat]

Super wide.

[Dana]

Open a jar with it.

[Sam Talon]

It's like a frog tongue.

[Dana]

Yeah. I'll tell you what. I lost £100 and now my penis is out of my body.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Sam Talon]

Oh, it's a. I heard every 10 pounds lose, like it adds like a little bit of length to penis.

[Dana]

It's every. Every £30 you gain an inch. Wait, whoa.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Gain an inch.

[Nick]

What?

[Big Cat]

Wait, how did you lose all the weight?

[Dana]

I quit boozing and got on a semi glutide.

[Nick]

Is this true?

[Big Cat]

There you go.

[Nick]

The penis thing.

[Dana]

Yeah, man. Yes, I lost.

[Titus]

Oh, my God.

[Dana]

There he is.

[Big Cat]

EJ.

[Dana]

Wow. Typing with his hands.

[Big Cat]

Folks, I did 30. Every 30 pounds.

[Dana]

Yeah. So now I have like a. It's not worth three and a half inch penis.

[Tate]

But if.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Wait, you lose the. If you lose 35 pounds, then your dick shrinks an inch. You're saying no, no, no.

[Sam Talon]

What?

[Dana]

Because you're losing all this, like, tissue that your penis has been swallowed by.

[Nick]

But what about. Is it a flaccid or boners?

[Dana]

Come find out, big guy. No, it's flaccid. And now it's like you go through life, you have your penis, you're like, that's what you got. It's not getting any better. And now there's a. There's a couple extra guys hanging out down there.

[Nick]

I'm very intrigued.

[Stephen]

That's the one reason you want to lose weight.

[Nick]

My ozempic hasn't been working. I mean, I'm stuck.

[Dana]

Have you been tooting it or shooting it?

[Nick]

I put it right in my belly.

[Dana]

Yeah, but you're on it your way through it, huh? Have you. I had any success?

[Nick]

This is my third time on it. The first time I lost like 40.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Nick]

The second time I tried to beat it. And I beat it. And now I'm trying to do well, and it's. I'm just not losing weight.

[Dana]

That's okay.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Dana]

It's all about the process, man. Are you still. Are you still sucking them down? Oh, yeah. That might be an issue.

[Nick]

It is. Yeah.

[Dana]

But that's okay.

[Sam Talon]

You also eat. You're eating constantly.

[Nick]

Yeah, but. Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

You came over to my house, like, last weekend. You were covered in crawfish. Just covered head to toe in crawfish.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

Disgustingly.

[Dana]

Came from Mardi Gras.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah, I think so.

[Nick]

I love food. What do you want me to say?

[Titus]

We used to have a ton of beef jerky sticks around this office.

[Sam Talon]

Just empty boxes.

[Titus]

I don't know.

[Big Cat]

Dan's eating them all.

[Dana]

Dana.

[Titus]

Where they went.

[Dana]

Let's take it out of the wrapping.

[Big Cat]

Good protein has invisalign. Started to curb your appetite because.

[Nick]

Yes, Actually, take it. Yeah, for sure.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Because you can't snack.

[Nick]

No. Like, it's annoying to take out.

[Big Cat]

Right.

[Nick]

Right.

[Dana]

You're glowing up now, Dana.

[Nick]

I'm trying.

[Dana]

Good for you.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Dana]

I think you're a stud.

[Big Cat]

A competition.

[Titus]

Yes.

[Nick]

I'm doing the opposite of what married men do. I'm trying to get hotter.

[Dana]

Hey, I'm trying to get hotter. And I'm happily married.

[Nick]

Yeah, it's fun.

[Kate]

Then you catch yourself, and it's embarrassing.

[Dana]

Want to catch you. Kyle, get over here. Well, so Kyle's like a, you know, Olympic. Olympic wrestler. I mean, you could take me down. I'm just trying to diffuse this awkwardness here. Sorry, Kyle. You know, I'm a big fan.

[Big Cat]

First time. It's like the. The awkward Kyle moments. First time?

[Dana]

No, no. I think we have a long history. Yeah, I know.

[Kate]

Exclusively that.

[Dana]

Yeah, yeah. Kyle, I'm. I come in peace, man.

[Kate]

I know.

[DJ 2]

All right.

[Dana]

It's all Dana. Dana's pure evil. We were getting along, and then the malevolent cloud came in.

[Nick]

Sorry. I'm a piece of.

[Dana]

No, come on, Dana. Come on, Dana.

[Nick]

Fat piece of.

[Dana]

You're not that fat.

[Mincy]

Yes.

[Big Cat]

There you go. You got it.

[Dana]

Now the adjective you're not.

[Big Cat]

Add one more there.

[Kate]

Dumb fat piece.

[Dana]

You're not a drunk. Dumb fat piece of. Your teeth are good.

[Big Cat]

Don't do that to yourself, Danny. You might get. What if you get, like, super hot?

[Nick]

I have it in me. I used to be, like, number two Hawkeye at my high school.

[Big Cat]

Oh, really?

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Who was number one?

[Nick]

Timmy Driscoll.

[Kate]

What about the man I met?

[Dana]

The Timmy Driscoll?

[Nick]

The Timmy Driscoll.

[DJ 1]

Did the rankings?

[Big Cat]

Did you ever Touch one or. No?

[Nick]

No.

[Dana]

Who decided? The principal?

[Nick]

Just.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Dana, would you ask who is the

[Kate]

man I met at your soiree?

[Nick]

Oh, Ryan.

[Kate]

He's. You're above him, I guess.

[Nick]

Not anymore. Okay, now I've fallen. I'm in, like, the triple digits now.

[Sam Talon]

They do it at your reunion.

[Nick]

Al Pompio. He is so hot now. Al Pompio, dude.

[Big Cat]

El Pompio.

[Nick]

He wasn't as hot in high school,

[Sam Talon]

but now he's hot as our high school did ugliest.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

And we. I remember our ugliest kid, but I don't say his name because he did

[Nick]

it as a superlative.

[Sam Talon]

No, but our. Our middle school did. Best legs. I still have the yearbook.

[Nick]

What?

[Sam Talon]

Yeah. Guy and girl.

[Kate]

Grade school.

[Stephen]

Grade school.

[Titus]

Best couple.

[Kate]

Best legs.

[Sam Talon]

I know, but I could.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah, I know. The guy and girl that won best legs. Adam Hammerquist is the guy won best legs and fastest.

[Dana]

Well, let's go hand in hand. I guess so.

[Big Cat]

Fastest was a big deal.

[Sam Talon]

He's.

[Big Cat]

He's still the fastest. A big deal.

[Sam Talon]

That was social.

[Dana]

Current school.

[Mincy]

Yeah, that's a big deal.

[Dana]

In the Northeast, you guys all love racing each other. We do love to foot races. Yeah. That's a weird part of that culture up there.

[Sam Talon]

Fast wasn't cool. Where in Colorado, I've just, like.

[Dana]

I've only seen two, like, adult male foot races, and one was in Providence and one was in Manchester.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. But, like, very important foot races when you were the fastest kid. That's cool.

[Dana]

Well, yeah, but they learned behavior.

[Big Cat]

Adults. Like, I've embraced a man in many years.

[Dana]

Well, there was, like, thousands of dollars being wagered at this bar in Manchester

[Big Cat]

that I can't explain.

[Dana]

People running. Yeah. So I just attached.

[Big Cat]

That's just. That's just a gambling problem.

[Dana]

Sure.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

And that's also endemic up there.

[Big Cat]

Oh, man.

[Kate]

This New Hampshire.

[DJ 2]

Yeah.

[Kate]

How do you like it up there?

[Dana]

I love it up there.

[Nick]

You're from New Hampshire?

[Dana]

No, no. But I really enjoy the Northeast.

[Big Cat]

Are you living in Colorado?

[Dana]

I live in Detroit.

[Big Cat]

Oh, really?

[Dana]

To det.

[Big Cat]

We. Do we know that?

[Dana]

I don't know.

[DJ 1]

When did you.

[Big Cat]

When did you move?

[Dana]

Two years ago.

[Big Cat]

Okay, so we did know.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dana]

I'm right across the water now.

[Kate]

It's growing.

[Dana]

Right. It's thriving.

[Big Cat]

I like Detroit.

[Dana]

It's great. It's a great downtown. Everyone stoked you're down there spending money.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

No one's, like, you know, shooting guns in the air. There's not, like, bands of marauders like most people think.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Windsor's across the water if you want to feel better about Detroit White Sox.

[Sam Talon]

Dave loves Windsor.

[Dana]

Yeah, well, he's probably got a secret family up there. Maybe the only reason to visit. Yeah. Come to Detroit, everyone.

[Sam Talon]

I would love to.

[Dana]

I mean, you'd love it over there.

[Tate (mentioned)]

I mean, Eminem kind of gave a bad pr. I think that's why everyone's a little afraid of Detroit.

[Dana]

I'm just saying, guys like you thrive quiet, handsome men with mustaches.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, you're going to get in there.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Tate (mentioned)]

All right.

[Dana]

I see a lot of dudes like you downtown with, like, three beautiful blonde women who all went to the University of Michigan. And he's just, like, over it.

[Big Cat]

Michigan State. Michigan State has hotter chicks.

[Dana]

I don't. I don't appraise the young women. I bet you.

[Big Cat]

I'm just trying to get you to be. Get you to be correct. Okay. I want you to get.

[Big Cat]

so Sam, Steven, has he met. He met a man that he did at the bank and he. He enjoyed his time conversing with that man for. About football that he wants to go on a second date with him, so. Oh, yeah, Telling Stephen to call him back.

[Dana]

Yeah, man.

[Big Cat]

Asking him out.

[Dana]

You know how hard it is to make a friend as a grown man, right? Yeah, bro.

[Stephen]

And he, like gave me his business card when I felt like that was not a necessary thing.

[Dana]

Is there a market age difference between the two of you?

[Stephen]

I'm probably five or six years older.

[Dana]

Okay, so you're older.

[Stephen]

Nothing crazy.

[Dana]

So he's not grooming you because sometimes you have a 55 year old man who's like, come on my boat.

[Stephen]

Yeah, no, I met him in his place of work. It was like a natural, organic.

[Tate (mentioned)]

You're at his place of business. I feel like it was completely appropriate for him to give you a business card.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, no, that means he likes him a lot.

[Sam Talon]

But does he give that to everybody? Do you have a pile of them?

[Stephen]

He had to go into like a drawer to get one.

[Kate]

He went out of his way.

[Stephen]

I mean, he had more than one, but.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Oh, I didn't know that part.

[Dana]

Did he write his, like, did he write on it at all? Did he personalize the business card?

[Stephen]

No, he.

[Mincy]

No, he didn't.

[Sam Talon]

Wait.

[Stephen]

But then I tweeted this that I made a friend of the bank and then PFT texted me later that day and was like, what bank was it? And he had a similar interaction with this guy last year, but remembers it.

[Dana]

That's great.

[Big Cat]

So, yeah, this guy's popular.

[Dana]

This guy's a boy charmer.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

And they have the same name spelled the same way.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

And they don't care if they're called Stephen or Steve and Steven.

[Big Cat]

Come on, tell him.

[Titus]

Say the line.

[Dana]

Come on, say the line.

[Stephen]

We called him yesterday.

[Sam Talon]

No, no, Steven, we're talking about him.

[Stephen]

Black guy.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

This is big man. Yeah, you really need to, you know, put more threads in the tapestry of your life.

[Stephen]

So. So we called him yesterday, didn't pick up. And so I just had his business line then left on voicemail.

[Dana]

Let's call him and see if he'll answer for Sam. Talent big in the community.

[Stephen]

So he gave me his card. So I was like, all right, I've kind of pestered this guy enough. I left him a voicemail. Let me email him. So I emailed him, and this is the exact email I wrote. Hey, Steve. This is also Steve from the other day. Bucks family met at the your bank here. Also wanted to reach out because I'm in sports media. I do a daily show called the Yak. We talk sports, pop culture, everything in between called the Yak. A lot of my job is to document my life. And after exchange, I made the tweet that I made a new friend at the bank. It turns out this guy named Eric, who also goes by PFT commentator company, met you last year and debated Jaden Daniels versus Caleb Blames with you too. Want to see if you're free today to come swing by and talk ball? We taped us over a mile away from your office. Here's our address. It's 12 to 2. Let me know if you can make it. So I thought that was, like, an appropriate email because obviously disclose, you know what this is. And even if I called him, we'd say, you know, we're coming on YouTube show. So he wrote me back with his bank email. I was like, hey, I'm sending you a separate email, but this is awesome. So he sent me something from this personal email, and the subject was. It's all caps. Steve. It's Steve from the bank. Oh, you're in.

[Mincy]

You're in.

[DJ 1]

Steve.

[Dana]

It's Steve.

[Stephen]

So he said, emailing you here due to bank restrictions. I would love to, Steve. Unfortunately, I'm stuck at the office today. Is it possible to do this for a Friday in the future? So I. I think that this is. I then called him, and I think this is, like, good and bad, because I think good. He's totally down to play ball and, like, come in and chat bad.

[Dana]

One quick tip, Steven. Don't describe your budding male friendship as Come play with us. You don't want to. It's not a playdate.

[Sam Talon]

It might. I mean, kind of.

[Big Cat]

It actually is exactly what our parents.

[Dana]

If I was courting a new male friend. Friend, and I was like, hey, you want to see the. A place designed for guys, by guys. And then you bring them in here, and it's all grass and, like, you know, he's out there. That'd be huge.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Stephen]

Or I mean, he played ball growing up, and, you know, we have a basketball court here, so it'll be great for. For future because we're.

[Big Cat]

How do you know he played ball.

[Stephen]

We talked about that.

[Big Cat]

Oh, okay. I didn't know that. Oh, you got deep.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Stephen]

So this is. I called him and I think the good and bad is good. He's willing to come in and do all that bad is that he now then, like, looked me up and whatever. I was like, oh, you, like, apologize for, like, not knowing who I was. And I was like, oh, yeah, don't worry. Like, I wouldn't expect anyone to, like, just wanted to, you know, hang out and talk. So I think that he was like, he is excited to do that, but also views this as a potential, like, opportunity, which maybe, you know, who knows? But like, sports media opportunity, like, he can do more of that.

[Sam Talon]

Which having a bank teller here would be sick.

[Tate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Well, you think he's gonna want a job? Well, I mean, he's not wrong that, like, writing him here.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

That's pretty much 75 of the way to getting a job.

[Stephen]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sam Talon]

So.

[Stephen]

So I just want it to be. I want this to be like, more of like a he could be my friend as opposed to just tell him

[Big Cat]

that your opportunity, like, hey, I don't want you to get the wrong idea.

[Stephen]

I, I, I tried. I tried to do that over the phone. I don't know if I fully got there. Maybe it did. So all. I'll tech. We agreed to coordinate, and he can't today. We're obviously close next week. So the week after Memorial Day, one of the first two or three days, he will be here.

[DJ 1]

Love it.

[Big Cat]

What about this?

[Dana]

Bring him to my shows at Rosemont this week. Bring him to Zany's Rosemont. You guys can sit there together for 90 minutes, not say a word except just nudge and be like, this guy's crazy.

[Big Cat]

You pay full price. Yeah.

[Dana]

That's my friend from work.

[Sam Talon]

That's great.

[Stephen]

Are tickets still available?

[Dana]

Yes.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Yes, they are. Zani's Rosemont, Sam Talon. Or bring him to Madison next weekend at comedy club. That's right. Or if he's into Grand Rapids, I'll be at Dr. Grin. You guys could make a three, three weekends in a row coming to see your favorite comedian.

[Sam Talon]

Comedy clubs. Dr. Grins. Yeah, that's a good one.

[Big Cat]

Have you been to Madison? A bunch. I'll give you some tips.

[Dana]

Yeah, baby. I love Madison. That's like the best comedy club in the world.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I've heard that.

[Dana]

It's so good.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Their green room has Papa Shot in it.

[Big Cat]

That's awesome.

[Dana]

You're just up there, like, sweaty. Then you have to go on Stage. And you leave the machine on. Don't take my score down. If you guys ever have Sam Morrell in here, have him play Papa Shot. That guy is so good at Papa Shot.

[Big Cat]

Is he?

[Dana]

Me and him just.

[Big Cat]

He came and played. He played basketball with us.

[Dana]

I believe that.

[Big Cat]

I think. Yeah.

[Titus]

Yeah, he did.

[Dana]

Is your buddy. Does he. Does he enjoy laughing at the irreverence of life? Well, if so Zany's Rosemont Night.

[Stephen]

I would assume so. So maybe that's a possibility.

[Sam Talon]

It's actually going to tell us you have a book coming out.

[Dana]

Well, September 22nd, but you can pre order it now. Yeah.

[Tate]

It's not murdery, is it?

[Dana]

It's so murdery. But it's also erotically charged. Oh, yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Pre order it now from Random House Brute by Sam Talon. I'm leaving this one here. Give it to Kiss Sam.

[Sam Talon]

I'm hovering over the cancel pre order button. You're leaving that here?

[Big Cat]

We are.

[Dana]

After.

[Titus]

After this.

[Big Cat]

Kyle got to hold some cats this morning.

[Dana]

[Big Cat]

Hell, we went to pause this morning

[Sam Talon]

[Big Cat]

Kyle, he. You. You were correct, Kyle. You're like, I don't feel like we talk enough about the.

[Kate]

It's always about the dogs. The dog event.

[Mincy]

[Kate]

Saving the dogs. Let's get some dogs adopted. Meanwhile, there's just rooms and rooms of neglected kittens. Like, putting on a show. Like a royal rumble.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, we did watch a royal rumble. Yeah. That was sick.

[Kate]

Pure cuteness and no one at the glass looking in.

[Dana]

Well, my. My grandfather had too many kittens on the farm. He would put them in a pillowcase and then throw them in the river.

[Sam Talon]

They did that with Milo and Otis, too, Right?

[Dana]

Happened to them.

They're famous.

[Big Cat]

Yes.

[Dana]

Wow.

[Kate]

And now my life is just a scattering of cats. And it's amazing.

[Dana]

Are you itchy?

[Kate]

Never.

[Dana]

That's good.

[Kate]

Well, my rectal itch.

[Sam Talon]

Has it gotten worse?

[Kate]

Yeah, it's just.

[Big Cat]

That's unrelated.

[Sam Talon]

Is your ass allergic to cats?

[Kate]

Plateaued in 2010 and it's just been consistent. Every night your third eye is crying.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

That sucks.

[Nick]

What do you mean?

[Dana]

You know, like your butthole, where the poop comes from.

[Nick]

Yeah, you just itchy ass every night

[Kate]

as soon as I lay my head down.

[Dana]

You need a different pillow.

[Sam Talon]

But you enjoy. You enjoy scratching.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

I said one time that it's almost worth the pleasure of scratching it. Relief. But it's not. It's becoming a problem.

[Dana]

You need gloves.

[Nick]

Is it like during the day? Is it.

[Kate]

No, Nothing.

[Sam Talon]

Just at night.

[Kate]

Nothing during the day when you can

[Dana]

finally sit with it and, like, think about it.

[Sam Talon]

Are you going wrong on it? How you scratch?

[Big Cat]

You're probably.

[Dana]

You're not using a brush, are you?

[Sam Talon]

Are you properly wiping to a fault?

[Big Cat]

Which I need.

[Kate]

Everyone says I need the bidet.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

You're abrading your hole.

[Sam Talon]

No, you.

[Big Cat]

Because I haven't figured out how. Is there a button?

[Mincy]

Yes.

[Big Cat]

Where?

[Sam Talon]

It's a knob. It's a. Turn it.

[Big Cat]

All right. Maybe I don't have a bidet.

[Sam Talon]

What do you have?

[Big Cat]

I have a. The toilet. I. When I walk in the room, it lifts up its seat.

[Titus]

Okay.

[Dana]

Greets you.

[Big Cat]

It's.

[Nick]

It's.

[Big Cat]

It warm. It's a warm seat, which is incredible.

[Nick]

What?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I think there's a. There's water spraying, but it's not hitting my ass.

[Titus]

You need to open up a remote. That came with it.

[Big Cat]

I don't know. I gotta find it.

[Sam Talon]

Wait, where's water spray?

[Big Cat]

Like, kind of just like. It's almost like a fountain inside of me.

[Titus]

A toilet or something.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I don't know. I gotta figure out. There's got to be a button. I can't. I haven't.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Figured out all in Japanese, so it's tough to tell.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Nick]

You have to. Do you have to wipe with the bidet?

[Sam Talon]

You could dab dry.

[Titus]

Yeah, I have a blow dryer on mine.

[Dana]

Wow.

[Titus]

I don't. I don't like the feeling of it. So I still dab dry, doesn't it?

[Dana]

The heat.

[Big Cat]

Do you have a seat?

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

His seat's weird.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I keep thinking I'm pissing on my balls.

[Titus]

I Had I got one because my

[Big Cat]

balls are warm and I'm like, what's going on?

[Sam Talon]

Wait, where are your balls?

[Dana]

Why are your balls.

[Big Cat]

I'll put your balls. My balls on the seat after I'm. You know, if I'm doing.

[Sam Talon]

You don't put your balls on this.

[Big Cat]

I'm doing a long sit. Like a long ass sit.

[Dana]

Pissing on your balls is brutal. Yeah. You ever pee outside when it's really cold or. I also have a small penis.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. My penis is small enough that I could pee on my balls.

[Dana]

And you're just wetting down your bag. Then you have to go back in the tent.

[Mincy]

But when you.

[Big Cat]

And then when you wipe, your balls are kind of hitting the warms. I mean, the seat is. It's like hot almost.

[Dana]

Well, the water stove. And it sure is deep.

[Big Cat]

It's nice, but it does. It's a weird sensation waking up. We're standing up after.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

You're like, what's. Am I wet?

[Nick]

I think I'm missing out on the toilet game.

[Titus]

Yeah, you are.

[Sam Talon]

Dan.

[Dana]

This.

[Titus]

You would love it.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Nick]

I've had a standard toilet my whole life.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I was a standard guy until same.

[Kate]

Literally no innovation.

[Sam Talon]

[Sam Talon]

Tonight.

[Kate]

[Sam Talon]

No, people want to see the log.

[Nick]

Yeah, they want to see.

[Big Cat]

Is it actually you put your camera in the toilet.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, let's see it emerging.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, let's.

[Titus]

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah. On your phone.

[Dana]

Chuck Berry pod.

[Big Cat]

Dana's phone. Tries it.

[Dana]

Oh, yeah.

[Nick]

No, no, no.

[Dana]

What's that device you have in your hand?

[Nick]

I don't know. It's just. I think it's a.

[Big Cat]

It's to.

[Dana]

Nice rippers.

[Sam Talon]

They work on their grip over all that stuff.

[Dana]

And just over here. Dude, look at that meaty mitt.

[Nick]

I just saw a picture of you. I was looking up your Twitter. You. You were pretty big.

[Dana]

I was a go. Yeah. I was a.

[Nick]

You lost a lot of weight.

[Dana]

I'm down.

[Kate]

Congratulations on the discipline aspect.

[Dana]

Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, there's really been no discipline whatsoever.

[Kate]

Really.

[Dana]

I just like, shoot myself with the shit my wife actually does. I quit boozing.

[Kate]

But that's extreme discipline.

[Dana]

Yeah. But I was it. Hated it, man. I hated being hungover.

[Big Cat]

Hated it.

[Dana]

I like pot. That's my way to go.

[Kate]

Me too.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Titus]

How is your self image now that you've lost all the way bad, man? Do you still see yourself as A big man.

[Dana]

I never. That was the issue. When you're a big fat wad, you never look at yourself in the mirror and think, wow, what happened?

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

You're like, wow, it's party time. Excellent. You know, surfs up, schools out. And my wife was nice the whole time. She never made me feel like the fat ghoul I was.

[Big Cat]

She was an enabler.

[Sam Talon]

Were you big when you met her?

[Dana]

Oh, yeah.

[Sam Talon]

Okay.

[Dana]

She made me get bigger. I was wrecked. Yeah, I was huge. And I also was wearing, like, overalls, and I had, like, one of my glasses. Arms wasn't on, so I was just, like, missing an arm in my glasses and was like, hello, little lady. Yeah, I looked like the Yellow King when I met my fucking boy. Yeah. Overarching.

[Sam Talon]

Gross.

[Dana]

So, yeah, my body and now I don't know how to dress. I just, like, have these clothes and I look like your dad after a skin cancer scare. I don't know what I'm doing.

[Nick]

Is that the guy from True Detective?

[Dana]

Yes.

[Nick]

Yeah, I could see that.

[Dana]

Yeah. Literally there was, like, tour promos of me in the south that said, like, the Yellow King returns. And I was like, I'm 26. This hurts me. So, yeah, I'm feeling good. I'm on the bicycle. I'm in the garden. I'm using my body a lot more. It's a sexual renaissance. But I don't, like, walk around thinking, look at that sweet piece that is. I say, look, I look like my grandfather after he got sick. That's what I think.

[Big Cat]

I assume you have more energy.

[Dana]

Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm thriving, man.

[Sam Talon]

Are there people. Are there people that assumed you were sick when they saw the transformation?

[Dana]

Well, I didn't know how many homosexual fans I had.

[Sam Talon]

No kidding.

[Dana]

Yeah, because there's all these guys online talking about my body.

[Sam Talon]

Are they disappointed?

[Dana]

I don't know. Okay, well, they're not nice all the time. They're very catty. Yeah.

[Tate (mentioned)]

What are you now, if you were

[Big Cat]

a bear before, you've been reclassified?

[Dana]

Me?

[Tate (mentioned)]

Yeah.

[Dana]

I don't know. Like a warthog, maybe in like a. Like an armadillo.

[Big Cat]

It's like a defensive lineman turning into an offensive lineman. You have to announce it 100.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Update your roster.

[Dana]

Like I was at the end. And now they're making me play tight end so I can stay on the team. I'm still just a vibes guy.

[Titus]

Do you worry?

[Dana]

Don't lose weight, America.

[Titus]

Yeah. Aren't. Isn't. Isn't the idea that the comics are supposed to be Fat. Like, they're funny if you're funny if you're fat. Do you worry about that at all? Like, no, you're not as funny now that you're.

[Dana]

I didn't do a lot of bits where I like, sat in a pie or slapped my.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, look how hard we laughed at that.

[Dana]

Maybe Zany's rosemary.

[Big Cat]

Did you. I mean, Brisilo just keeps. He just keeps saying the meanest things. He said. He said that I am a waste of a great frame.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Frame.

[Big Cat]

That's so mean.

[Dana]

Oh, yeah. People talk about my wrists.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, they're like, you have such a good frame.

[Dana]

I have my mom's wrist.

[Nick]

I understand that though.

[Big Cat]

No, I get it. But it hurts.

[Nick]

Yeah. Like, I have a. I could be. This canvas could be right bolted.

[Big Cat]

But that hurts.

[Nick]

It does, yeah.

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Same for you.

[Big Cat]

I'd rather someone be like, hey, you're fat.

[Nick]

Right?

[Big Cat]

Like, okay, cool.

[Dana]

You'll never get better.

[Big Cat]

Right. But a waste of like, you could have been all State and you're just a fucking.

[Dana]

I was all State.

[Sam Talon]

[Dana]

Football.

[Nick]

So sick. Oh, yeah.

You play ball?

[Nick]

I played kinda. All right. I quit senior year. Ah, they weren't throwing the ball enough.

[Big Cat]

Dan is a Hooper.

[Dana]

They weren't throwing the ball enough.

[Nick]

Oh, we were to run first offense and I was a. I was a decent receiver.

[Dana]

Okay.

[Nick]

And they just didn't throw the ball. And I was like, this is.

[Dana]

I don't play a Georgia Tech's offense.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Yeah. Damn.

[DJ 1]

Hang on.

[Nick]

Massachusetts wide open South Shore. Massachusetts.

[Dana]

It's.

[Sam Talon]

It's all running Squanto's turf.

[Dana]

Squanto.

[Sam Talon]

My guy Squanto.

[Dana]

Sounds like something you would yell on a bar in like the South Bay at 2am get the out of here. Squanto.

[Sam Talon]

Is there a sandwich? High school Dana.

[Nick]

Yeah, that's the one that.

[Big Cat]

The kid who picked him up and raped him.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, the kid that raped him was flip.

[Nick]

That was cohesive sandwich. That's where my siblings.

[Big Cat]

Siblings won.

[Sam Talon]

Your. Your siblings went to sandwich?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Dana]

We never called you.

[Big Cat]

Did you ever talk to your brother?

[Nick]

Yeah, he's not a. He's not a camera, but.

[Big Cat]

What did he say?

[Nick]

They said that I did it.

[Big Cat]

Dana through Dana used to play catch with his hamster. He and his brother when he was a kid. And one time the dog just snapped it out of the air and ate it. Jesus.

[Nick]

Everyone has bad hamster stories, though.

[Dana]

No, that's one of the worst stories I've ever heard. Yeah, you projectile the little meat nugget. And your dog snatches like me to

[Nick]

meet a big cat.

[Dana]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

Stainless killed possibly three of his pets.

[Sam Talon]

We know for sure. Your cat hammy.

[Big Cat]

100%. Cat let out the door. Killed or no, Cat rolled over. Dog let out the door. Kill.

[Dana]

You rolled over and switched your cat.

[Nick]

Allegedly.

[Dana]

Oh, you smothered a living being.

[Nick]

He was 26.

[Dana]

Okay, that's fine.

[Big Cat]

That is such a ridiculous age.

[Sam Talon]

I honestly think that's a.

[Nick]

That's a whole grown human that's seeing this.

[Big Cat]

26.

[Sam Talon]

Put him out the end of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest.

[Kate]

A real age 26 is terrifying. That means I'll be 55 with my cats.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

I had a similar thing with a girlfriend in high school.

[Stephen]

Yeah, you rolled over.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Nick]

You ever pissed the bed? Oh, yeah, I've done My ex girlfriend in high school, I pissed the bed with her in it.

[Dana]

She probably floated away with all your urine.

[Nick]

Yeah, yeah. I just told her it was sweat, though.

[Dana]

Oh, I've done that. Oh, yeah. They're like, why is it yellow? It's like I'm gross, stupid, and that's

[Sam Talon]

way less gross than this yellow. Sweet.

[Dana]

You ever dumped the bed?

[Nick]

No.

[Sam Talon]

You've never dumped the bed?

[Dana]

Oh, yeah, I was in. Actually, yeah, I was in Australia with Tim Dillon opening and then he left and I stayed for a week in Melbourne. And Tim didn't drink and I didn't. I drank at the time. So as soon as he left, I drank like a hundred beers with the Australian locals at my solo show and then went to Hungry Jack's afterward and ate like three Whoppers. And then I woke up afloat in just diarrhea. Like blackout, die, die. And I was staying at that hotel for the whole week. Like this was day one. So I had to put all of my bedding in the pillowcase and then just like over the shoulder through the lobby.

[Stephen]

Like you're running away?

[Dana]

Yeah, pretty much.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Black sweat.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Honey.

[Dana]

Yeah, Relax. I slept in a bare bed that was stained with my own diarrhea.

[Titus]

Nice.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Real quick, what's the actual lifespan of cats? They could live up to 26, I think.

[Kate]

Yeah, they're typically in the 20s.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

26, that's scary.

[Kate]

I don't like that now because the

[Sam Talon]

cat you just got you will be in your 50s.

[Titus]

That's a huge commitment.

[Big Cat]

That is.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Tate (mentioned)]

It's a kid.

[Dana]

That should be like my grandpa swallow.

[Sam Talon]

That's more of a commitment than a child.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Because 26 kid doesn't want to be around you at 18

[Titus]

hours.

[Dana]

It's like a turtle.

[Titus]

Wow.

[Kate]

I did underestimate the jump from two to three.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[DJ 2]

Oh.

[Big Cat]

Has it been wrecking you?

[Kate]

It's not wrecking, but it's annoying. It can be really annoying.

[Nick]

Why?

[Big Cat]

What's going on?

[Kate]

The new one turned the other two into more social beings. They're trying to like establish their dominance and now they're just all over the place.

[Big Cat]

Oh, no.

[Kate]

But it's not bad. It's like an amazing sight.

[Big Cat]

They keeping you up at night? No. Do you leave them out of the room?

[Kate]

No, they. They come in.

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Yeah, all three.

[Dana]

How big is the. The space you live in? Like an apartment, A house?

[Kate]

It's just big enough for three. It's a two bedroom apartment.

[Dana]

Okay.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Dana]

So they have their own room.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Good. Yeah, it's tough making space. That's what Stephen's trying to do with other Stephen right now.

[Big Cat]

I can't wait to get Steve.

[Dana]

You should get your brother on. And you should get that brother on. Oh, man.

[Sam Talon]

Then he's Rosemont brothers and tickets just sold out.

[Dana]

We gotta. I'm gonna go get the two friends guys and bring them in.

[Dana]

Oh, good. Is it Chandler? Oh, but Chandler and Ross.

[Sam Talon]

I have bad news about Chandler.

[Dana]

Oh, no. Yeah. What happened?

[Sam Talon]

You serious? I don't want to break this news to you.

[Dana]

What happened?

[Tate (mentioned)]

Chandler died.

[Sam Talon]

It was dead.

[Dana]

What? It wasn't swimming, was it? I always told him not to swim. Stay out of that hot tub.

[Sam Talon]

You're gonna hate what I'm about to say.

[Dana]

Don't do it. Yeah.

[Mincy]

Wait, Steve.

[Tate (mentioned)]

What did Steve say to you in the email that made you think you might have ulterior motives?

[Dana]

Now you asked for $100,000 to show up.

[Mincy]

Let me see.

[Sam Talon]

People think there was somebody with ulterior motives in the office yesterday, too.

[Dana]

Who was it? Courtney Love?

[Sam Talon]

Yes.

[Dana]

Damn it.

[Stephen]

What?

[Big Cat]

Yes.

[Tate (mentioned)]

What are you talking.

[Sam Talon]

You don't know about this? Maybe we bring Tate in for this.

[Nick]

Oh, yeah.

[Stephen]

What?

[Tate (mentioned)]

Yeah, I might know. Refresh my memory.

[Sam Talon]

Just somebody brought somebody in that made.

[Dana]

I bet you guys get people coming in here and, like, hiding cameras in the bathroom.

[Sam Talon]

Well, we had to do that.

[Titus]

We had a camera in the shower.

[Tate (mentioned)]

We don't hide them.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah, we had a camera in the shower. We didn't realize. And one of our employees, one of our biggest crudgen, was showering and saw the camera.

[Dana]

Huh. Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

Big T cannot be fired for a multitude of reasons.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Kind of wild. Big T was showering.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Titus]

I never would have thought.

[Big Cat]

Hello.

[Tate]

What's up?

[Sam Talon]

One of you guys here?

[Titus]

Guys, take can hop up.

[Mincy]

No, no, no, no.

[Nick]

Oh, my God.

[Sam Talon]

No, no, no, no, no. Kate, no. Walk in.

[Tate]

Hi.

[Sam Talon]

Two friends here.

[Dana]

Gentlemen, hello. I'm Big Cat. Hey. Thank you.

[Stephen]

How we doing?

[Mincy]

I'm Nick.

[Sam Talon]

Very nice to meet you back.

[Dana]

How we doing, guys? I'm Brandon.

[Sam Talon]

There we go.

[Stephen]

That's more believable.

[Dana]

Hello there.

[Nick]

Yep.

[Dana]

My first microphone. Oh, come on, man.

[DJ 1]

Sorry.

[Tate (mentioned)]

We didn't mean.

[Sam Talon]

Boys. No, no, no, no. Boys, welcome.

[Nick]

We weren't talking about anything important.

[Dana]

No, no. There's a pervert who's hiding cameras in the.

[Sam Talon]

Get a camera in the shower when his office first open.

[Dana]

You know, that's just boys being boys.

[Big Cat]

That's fine.

[Dana]

So welcome to the Yak, man.

[Sam Talon]

This is the rundown.

[Dana]

Yeah. So this is, you know, just the home for. For sports and just everything in between. You know, we like to chop it up like chefs of the mind. Yeah. And who are you guys?

[DJ 2]

We are two friends.

[Dana]

Okay.

[DJ 2]

The Zi were DJ duo and we are friends.

[Dana]

Fantastic.

[DJ 1]

Friends. Friends first, DJ duo second.

[Dana]

And DJ is musical, right?

[DJ 1]

Correct.

[Dana]

Very good. All right, question.

[Nick]

Who would love to be here right now?

[Titus]

Who?

[Nick]

Tommy Smokes.

[Sam Talon]

Tommy Smokes.

[DJ 1]

We go back with him. He was. He. We do. We like. So we're actually in town because tomorrow night we're doing Big Bootyland, which is our big show where we premiere the next volume of our Big Booty Mix series. And Tommy Smokes was the host of Big Bootyland Boston.

[Dana]

That guy's ass is huge.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yeah.

[Sam Talon]

He has childbearing hips.

[DJ 1]

He did great. He was walking around the venue interviewing

[DJ 2]

fans, and he was great.

[DJ 1]

Did some skits.

[Dana]

He was great.

[DJ 1]

Yeah.

[Nick]

The Big Booty mixes.

[Kate]

You guys are great.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Listening for so long.

[DJ 2]

Oh, yeah.

[Kate]

Brought me so much joy. I love that you saved my life.

[Dana]

No, but I really do know the booty mix. This is songs that celebrate the rump.

[DJ 1]

You might think that, but not really.

[Dana]

Okay.

[DJ 2]

They can. They can really be anything. But we're not against that.

[Dana]

Sure.

[DJ 2]

Either, you know, they can celebrate the rump.

[Dana]

Well, I want to make that clear. That it's both sides of the aisle. You're reaching across and you're slapping that thing.

[DJ 1]

Yeah, that's right.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[Dana]

But consensually, right? No rape.

[DJ 2]

No rape.

[DJ 1]

Definitely consensually.

[Sam Talon]

All right, good. That's really good.

[DJ 2]

All right.

[Dana]

We got a lot of guests on here.

[Sam Talon]

We have.

[Dana]

Not on this show every day. Where are you guys from?

[Kate]

The boys in.

[DJ 2]

We're in la.

[Nick]

La.

[Dana]

Los Angeles.

[DJ 2]

But we love Chicago. It's great.

[Nick]

Hell, yeah. We call it a mashup.

[DJ 2]

Big Booty mixes are mashups and stuff. And obviously we have other stuff going on too, but. Yes, I would say that's a. That's a good phrase.

[Nick]

I'm such a mashup guy.

[Kate]

Yeah, I know.

[Dana]

I like mashed up.

[Nick]

Such a mashup guy.

[Sam Talon]

I've never been to a DJ set before live. Ever, ever, ever.

[Kate]

That is.

[DJ 2]

That's crazy.

[Dana]

Really, like, going like this.

[Sam Talon]

So I was going to ask, what do I. What if I went? What do I do in the crowd? What.

[Dana]

Don't bring your masturbatory aid, whatever you do. We did these once, of course.

[DJ 2]

Did you?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah, one of us did.

[DJ 1]

I think you'd be surprised, like, our show if you came tomorrow night. It's. You'll see families with kids. You'll see people, you know, younger people, children.

[Dana]

At The Asterix Show.

[DJ 1]

100.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Yeah.

[DJ 2]

All ages.

[Dana]

This is the liberal future they wanted.

[DJ 1]

Yeah. But we like to do a little bit of everything you're gonna hear sing along, throwback songs, new stuff. We have our drum line, our saxophonists.

[Dana]

You have a drum line live?

[DJ 1]

We have a drum. Not every show, but this is like our big show of the summer, so.

[Dana]

Because that is my big issue traditionally, with your more electronic music, is that there's not enough of the organic experience.

[DJ 1]

Well, that's what show we try to infuse a lot.

[Dana]

All right.

[DJ 2]

We got a lot of it.

[Dana]

All right.

[DJ 1]

Guest singers to pop in.

[Big Cat]

Raekwon.

[DJ 1]

No, he was unavailable.

[DJ 2]

He was unavailable.

[Dana]

We asked, who do you guys have?

[DJ 2]

Is it Raekwon or bus?

[Dana]

Yeah, yeah, you gotta go.

[Big Cat]

That's the vibe.

[DJ 2]

I'M getting.

[Sam Talon]

I never understood that phrase. Because bust is a great option.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Or jits.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, my God, you're right.

[Dana]

You know.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

So it's like, hey, what's not to love?

[Sam Talon]

Or hall of fame player. You get a love.

[Dana]

Sam, Jerry, Bus.

[Kate]

Oh, yeah, he's not. He runs when he comes in.

[Sam Talon]

I think last time you were here, he comes on about out once a year. Like, you guys hit the lottery.

[Dana]

Yeah, Brandon left last time I was.

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

You heard his car take off. Yeah, well, he.

[Sam Talon]

He loves to leave.

[Dana]

So. Gentlemen, drugs appropriate for your shows?

[Sam Talon]

Yes.

[Dana]

Come down some.

[DJ 2]

Actually, maybe we made the joke the other day. What if in the intro I'm just like, chicago, how are we feeling? Who's on drugs?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[DJ 2]

Some people scream.

[Dana]

It's just like, leave a bunch of children. Get out.

[DJ 2]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

You have a problem.

[DJ 2]

The family event.

[Dana]

Yeah. It's a sober space.

[DJ 2]

Yeah.

[DJ 1]

I don't know. It would be interesting to get the data of like the breakdown of. Of what type of drugs, alcohol, sober, the whole report. Because I would say maybe not. We don't necessarily fit some of the stereotypes as maybe some other DJ sets.

[DJ 2]

It's not as ravy. I would get. I would have to guess.

[Dana]

Or as rapey. Right.

[Big Cat]

I.

[DJ 2]

That I would hope.

[Nick]

Right.

[DJ 2]

I hope actually, like, the overall levels in. In dance music is low, but me too.

[Dana]

You know, we all hope that.

[DJ 2]

We all hope that.

[Dana]

But then you got the stats.

[Sam Talon]

He's nuts, guys. Lost his mind out of his gore.

[Dana]

This is good. This is good stuff. You guys are at Bootyland, I'm at Zany's Rosemont. We should do a collab.

[DJ 2]

I'm down.

[Dana]

Come over and ring the booty gong at my show. And then I'll come down and dump it out for y'.

[Big Cat]

All. Yeah, great.

[DJ 2]

I. I need to know more about this Booty Gong.

[Dana]

So you get a get.

[DJ 1]

You get.

[Dana]

You have a girl's butt and you spray paint it with gold. Like, spray paint. And then you get like a fish or a mallet and you just whack that thing.

[Sam Talon]

But that would almost be better with a flat.

[Dana]

You hear the crash of that Booty gong. Booty Gong.

[DJ 2]

Let's go back real quick.

[Dana]

You can have this.

[DJ 2]

You have fish or a mallet.

[Dana]

Whatever you want. Whatever they're selling at the market.

[DJ 2]

I like the Sam.

[Sam Talon]

Is this pre planned?

[Dana]

No, this is called riffing King.

[Sam Talon]

I can't do this. I know I can't do this.

[Dana]

Well, luckily there's three competent professionals who know how to riff on butt stuff. But I think you get a huge ass up there, and you have your, like, your VIP fans come up and spray paint it. And that's, like, one level.

[DJ 2]

That's what the VIP pack is, right?

[Dana]

And then people can bring their own mallets to slap that thing. And they have, like, a giant, you know, goddess up there.

[DJ 2]

I'm really enjoying mallet.

[Dana]

It's a fun word. Two L's, like, mine. Talent. Samtalent.com for tickets.

[Sam Talon]

Wait, are you guys competing live shows this weekend?

[Dana]

No, these guys probably sold a million tickets, and I'm trying to sell out four at the Rosemont Club. Well, what day are you Tonight and tomorrow. Okay, and you guys are tomorrow, why there's no tickets sold? Because there's a big Venn diagram. You guys are one cheek, I'm another cheek. We smash them together in Chicago and comes out for one being a coordinate.

[DJ 1]

Last time we did, we were here a couple years ago. We were the same Taylor Swift. And that was.

[Dana]

Oh, my God. And you guys are like, you're my tails hooked, right?

[DJ 1]

Yeah.

[DJ 2]

We ended up having fireworks, and apparently, what? The venues were next to each other. And we had fireworks at the end of our show, but her show was still going on. So we get all tagged in all these random Taylor Taylor tweets of, like, why would Taylor do fireworks in the middle of this song? It doesn't fit the lore at all. I'm so confused. Just like, people. People, like, they gave her.

[DJ 1]

Like, they were. Yeah, they were upset.

[DJ 2]

Like, it doesn't make sense to me, Nick.

[Nick]

I'm fascinated by him.

[Sam Talon]

Well, you said about me. This isn't my guy.

[Dana]

Oh. I belong to America. Are you guys originally from Los Angeles, Louisiana?

[DJ 2]

I was born in New York, moved around. All right, la. Fifth grade.

[Dana]

And where'd you guys meet to create

[DJ 1]

this colossal middle school? Seventh grade.

[Dana]

Nice.

[DJ 1]

Best friends for 25 years.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

So you met in seventh grade when you start making music together after high

[DJ 2]

school, when we were graduating high school. Okay. So we were kind of, like, doing friend.

[DJ 1]

Normal friends doing friend first and then.

[DJ 2]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Doubled it.

[DJ 2]

Yeah.

[DJ 1]

It was right. It was right when, like, dance music and DJs were kind of becoming a little. It was still early on, especially for, like, America, but we would go to, like, some music festivals, and we're just like, all right, well, let's. Let's see what this is all about. We just went on Google and we said, how do you. How do you make dance music? How do you.

[Nick]

What's the white panda? Remember white panda?

[Dana]

Totally remember. Remember pretty lights of course, yeah. Colorado Zone.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

[Dana]

A lot of bad shows. I got forced into going to there. It's cool. Because I don't know much about electronic music. I'll be honest. I like rock and roll. I like drums, but I do like jungle. Your thoughts on jungle?

[DJ 1]

You know, not too familiar. I know a lot of people that go. But I, I don't, I don't have enough experience to.

[Dana]

You need to be on crack cocaine.

[Sam Talon]

What is jungle?

[Kate]

Is a, it's a British style.

[Dana]

It's like.

[DJ 1]

Well, are you talking about that? There's a band called Jungle, too. Are you talking about the genre or the band?

[Dana]

Genre.

[DJ 1]

Oh, okay. I thought you're talking about the band.

[Dana]

No, again, I'm not well versed.

[DJ 1]

Got it.

[Dana]

Yes.

[DJ 1]

The style is cool. We don't necessarily incorporate too much of that in our own. Yeah.

[Dana]

Are you guys doing like, like club bangers, like, let's all go in the parking lot type music? Is it like horny music? Like wet, like, condensation?

[Nick]

Really? Good question.

[DJ 1]

That's a good question.

[DJ 2]

I would say a little bit of that and a little bit more of,

[DJ 1]

like, A little more wholesome, too.

[DJ 2]

A little wholesome, too.

[Dana]

Is that hole because the butt thing.

[DJ 1]

Yeah, right, right.

[DJ 2]

Yeah, exactly.

[Kate]

It's fun, upbeat.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah.

[Kate]

You say a lot of like, progressive house dance.

[DJ 2]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[DJ 1]

I like your, your adjectives feel a

[DJ 2]

little better than maybe dance, dance music, which is a whole umbrella.

[Dana]

I love dancing.

[DJ 1]

Yeah.

[Dana]

I think everyone in this room, maybe not, but most of the people in the room love dancing.

[DJ 2]

Raise your hand if you like dancing.

[Kate]

I, I, I'm too self conscious.

[Sam Talon]

I don't, I'm not too self conscious to dance.

[Nick]

I'll go nuts if I'm in the right environment.

[Dana]

Yeah, man.

[Nick]

Will you like a wedding or like.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah, you're the wedding guy.

[Nick]

But like, I'm not sitting around, like, moving my hips, you know?

[Dana]

Now let me ask you this. As we're, you know, obviously this is a barstool show, so it's whites only. So do you think that, like, a lot of guys who might be listening to this, this demographic will come to your shows and then they're liberated by the music and they're boogieing and woogieing.

[DJ 2]

Can't speak to their liberation.

[Dana]

Okay.

[DJ 2]

But definitely they're, you know, we welcome everyone.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[DJ 2]

Shows.

[Sam Talon]

Sam, how would you like if you were doing a comedy show and everybody was dancing?

[Dana]

I would really hate that.

[Sam Talon]

Okay.

[Dana]

I would hate that. I do have, like, kind of a frothing, like, they're kind of like wild in there these days. And I gotta like this back.

[Big Cat]

You freaks.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah, you gotta tame them a little bit.

[DJ 2]

What's worse, a comedy show where everyone's.

[Dana]

A comedy show. Yes.

[DJ 2]

Or. Or a DJ set where everyone's laughing.

[Sam Talon]

They're dying.

[Dana]

Laughing.

[Sam Talon]

That would kind of feel good, right?

[DJ 1]

I don't feel a little like. Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, that's a great.

[DJ 2]

I, I would say I'd prefer the comedy set with dancing.

[Dana]

I don't know if there's some good 2C going around that show and everyone's having a giggle that's taking the world.

[Kate]

I've heard. I'm interested.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Yeah. We should take Toosie on Sunday.

[Sam Talon]

Have you. Have you. I would, but.

[Dana]

Huh.

[Sam Talon]

Have you dabbled?

[Dana]

The guy last night gave me the. The edible. Oh, that's what I said that there was 2C in there.

[Nick]

Okay.

[Dana]

I was like, sure, I'll eat this at 1am in a hotel near the airport. And I don't think there was.

[Sam Talon]

Okay.

[Dana]

I just kind of feel scared today. Yeah.

[Nick]

Have you guys ever had like a three way A venue?

[Dana]

I bet you guys have.

[Big Cat]

For sure.

[Dana]

They're really good friends.

[Kate]

They have.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

That was your question.

[DJ 1]

Right.

[Dana]

Moving on.

[Nick]

Have you ever had like a place that just like, like flopped and nobody was like. It was dancing.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Like a venue.

[DJ 2]

Okay. So like you're saying the show was bad from the start because no one was there or the show was just horrible.

[Nick]

Just like the, the crowd was just.

[DJ 2]

We've had, I mean we've had a couple.

[DJ 1]

There's some like pro. You know, we'll get booked for like a corporate thing or a private thing and those, those are hit or miss. There's been some ones that are actually great, but.

[DJ 2]

Well, some of these corporate events or private events, they could have the time of their lives and we could have fun in the end. Like it was, it was a good experience.

[Dana]

Points.

[DJ 2]

But when there's like nine people in like suits in front of you.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

It's pretty.

[DJ 2]

It's way more intimidating than being in front of 10,000.

[Nick]

Right. I've always, I always wondered about that.

[DJ 1]

But then they, they, like you said, I feel like they usually have a great time at the end.

[DJ 2]

At the end they were like, oh my God, that was amazing, guys. I was like, was it?

[DJ 1]

Yeah.

[Dana]

That's the same experience doing corporate comedy.

[DJ 1]

Yeah.

[Dana]

You're in there and you think you're eating your own ass and you want to go outside and get shot in the head. And then you offstage and everyone's like, oh, My God, that was a double.

[DJ 2]

I'm like, you know what?

[Mincy]

Great.

[Dana]

Yeah, I have. Can I have the huge check now?

[DJ 2]

I, I put my full effort. I, I tried to make everyone have fun. I'm glad you had fun. But we've seen it all to your question.

[Titus]

Definitely.

[DJ 2]

There's, you know, I've always wondered like,

[Nick]

what it's like if for like those

[DJ 2]

corporate type of outings, we actually like those. I mean, every DJ will have their, their nightmare shows and that's more like if something goes wrong or no one's there. Like we have some friends that have.

[Mincy]

We.

[DJ 2]

We will share pictures and they're mostly earlier career pictures, but where it'll be like, look at this show. And we have this, these one Canadian friends and they, they have this epic picture of. Basically it was a nightclub, don't even know where it was. And they took a selfie from the stage and basically the. There was. Everyone left the show, but they still had like an hour to play.

[DJ 1]

So like there were zero people.

[DJ 2]

Zero people on the dance floor. Sizable venue. Sizable venue. They like, no one told them to stop, so they just keep going. And then the GM of the venue brings a ladder, like a, maybe a serious ladder, like a 12 foot ladder just to the middle of the dance floor and starts changing a light bulb, like during their set. That was a low point, I think. So they just took the selfie and be like, you know, this is, this is where I'm at. So everyone has those and we share them and it's fun to laugh.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

You know, if global tragedy happened mid show, would you break it to the crowd?

[DJ 1]

That's a great question.

[Sam Talon]

Thank you.

[DJ 1]

I don't. Luckily, I don't think that's happened. There have been like, there have been some like, medical things, which is always really navigate. Yeah. Like you see, you know, a circle of people pointing like, hey, help, help.

[DJ 2]

That gives me like George Bush in the, in the elementary.

[Titus]

Yeah, right.

[Sam Talon]

Somebody whispering.

[DJ 1]

But also, you know what it's like, how would, like, we don't. How do we find out about this tragedy too?

[Sam Talon]

Right.

[DJ 2]

Someone whispers in your ear, right?

[Sam Talon]

They whisper in your ear.

[DJ 1]

If our like tour manager ran on a stage and said like, like there's been a national tragedy.

[Dana]

China, is it our responsibility?

[Sam Talon]

I think like, hey, if anybody wants to go, we're going to keep going. But then you drop the baby. Oh, you guys need to do that.

[Tate (mentioned)]

There's a nationwide pandemic.

[Dana]

If like a bomb went off, you guys are playing here tonight. A bomb goes off in Seattle that you have 30 minutes before everything's irradiated and turned to glass.

[DJ 2]

In Seattle, though.

[Dana]

Yeah. But you guys are on stage and you're like, we can either tell them and ruin it or we can, you know, just.

[DJ 2]

I. I go back to what Eli says. It's kind of like. Like, if our tour manager whispers in our ears, like, okay.

[DJ 1]

No, I think he's. At this point, though, I. Knowing him, he would probably wait. He would probably say, hey, I don't want it. I don't want to ruin this vibe. So let them do their thing. And then they could, you know, at least claim ignorance.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[DJ 1]

Then after he goes, by the way, great show.

[DJ 2]

But, yeah, usually it's not a whisper. It's more of like. Like, you know, for DJing here, like, he'll write something on a phone, like a phone sign type thing, and we'll read it. Usually it's. It's more like of a, you know, logistic thing. But once in a while, you know, he could pull off Bomb and Seattle.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

Just wear Attack on his phone.

[DJ 2]

I'm like, okay.

[Dana]

Blood in the streets, Keep boogieing. You guys remember Girl Talk?

[DJ 1]

Of course I saw him. That was one of the, like, Coachella 2008 or something like that.

[Dana]

The name always turned me off. I never wanted to listen.

[Sam Talon]

Really?

[Dana]

Girl Talk. I have enough of that at home.

[Mincy]

Oh, yeah.

[Dana]

Now nag. That's a fun joke.

[Sam Talon]

Is that what that is?

[Dana]

Live, I was living in Ithaca, New York, on a commune, and Girl Talk played at Cornell. I remember we all descended to sell acid, and we went there to, like, you know, roll our eyes. It was a hell of a fucking show. Yeah, that was maybe the only. Like that. And, like, you know, Pretty Lights are the only, like, DJ shows I've been to. And they're fun. You guys should go.

[Mincy]

These two,

[Dana]

they have to be there, you know, because they want their passports back. But we. Here's what we're gonna do. You're all gonna come to Zany's Rosemont, and then you guys go on at what, like, midnight?

[DJ 1]

No, this is actually. This is an early one. We're early, like, 9:15.

[Dana]

So everyone go to their show tomorrow and then come to my show.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[DJ 1]

Great time.

[Dana]

Are you.

[DJ 1]

Well, we do have the after party, too, so.

[Dana]

Where's the after party?

[DJ 1]

Remova Theater.

[Dana]

We gotta get there.

[DJ 1]

Yeah. So maybe I'll go to your show.

[DJ 2]

Come through, let us know.

[Dana]

I really need to, in my old age, get better at embracing cool young guys doing stuff that makes me jealous. And that's that's probably why I don't like DJs in general because they were always like slapping you know, away women that had like asymmetrical haircuts that I wanted to bend bed.

[DJ 1]

I feel like DJ's bed.

[Big Cat]

It is.

[DJ 1]

Sometimes it does feel sexually embarrassing to tell people that, like our profession is dj. I feel like it just has a bad connotation a lot of times.

[Dana]

You're right. You are right. Yeah, yeah.

[DJ 1]

But I feel like, I don't know, we, we treat it very seriously like a normal job, kind of. So I feel like, yeah, sometimes I don't. I say like, oh, I'm. I'm a music producer.

[Nick]

Right.

[DJ 1]

Just to avoid having to say, you were saying a Beat Smith. That's a good word.

[DJ 2]

Beat Smith.

[Dana]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Wow.

[DJ 2]

In like an Uber. Yeah.

[Dana]

If someone funk monger you, I just

[DJ 2]

say it's good too. Sometimes you can say some random thing like, I'm a librarian, but I say,

[Dana]

I work for Boys and Girls Club of America.

[Stephen]

Oh, what a.

[DJ 2]

That's a lot of follow up questions, though.

[Dana]

I know. And it's fun to be in an Uber for a half hour and be like, I'm changing lives.

[DJ 2]

You're saying. All right, fair enough.

[Nick]

How old are you guys?

[DJ 1]

32.

[DJ 2]

Yeah. 33.

[Nick]

Oh, come on.

[Kate]

So you've been doing probably like weekly, like late night shows after parties.

[DJ 1]

We graduated college in 2015 and the, the first, like year out of college was, was a little slower, just kind of more like building it all up, you know, working on a lot of music. And then since 2016, pretty much on the road every weekend, weekends.

[DJ 2]

But then we have like the most like normal, like, you know, during. We'll go to sleep at like, you know, 9:30pm yeah. During, during the weeks.

[Dana]

You got to find the balance.

[DJ 1]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Because you guys are, you guys are out on the road. You're, you're, you're God's on stage and then you can go home and it's like, what the hell do you do something about. I think figure it out now is young men. That's my only advice as a guy who's been on the road a long time.

[Sam Talon]

Sam, how old are you?

[Dana]

39. Oh, come on the road. Since I was 18.

[Sam Talon]

Okay.

[Dana]

I was in bands before that, so I'm a husk.

[DJ 2]

But yeah, if you, if you're going to bed late on the weekends, it's. I don't know. For me, some, some people on our team probably keep that schedule.

[DJ 1]

We, I feel like we turn it on and off. Pretty quickly somehow. Like, we'll. We'll be. You know, we'll be out till 4am and then the very next night, we're back home and in bed at a normal time.

[Dana]

Up at 6am are ladies in the crowd, like, dumping them.

[DJ 2]

Not never.

[Sam Talon]

Okay.

[DJ 1]

Not never.

[Dana]

You see a couple good answer sets.

[DJ 2]

Yeah, it's happened for sure.

[DJ 1]

Men, too.

[Dana]

You guys ever be like, dump them out slots?

[DJ 2]

I. No, I don't say that specifically because of the climate.

[DJ 1]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

Do you say that?

[Dana]

No.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, okay.

[DJ 2]

Why not?

[Dana]

Because I do my show in Spanish.

[Sam Talon]

That.

[Mincy]

What a.

[Sam Talon]

What a nightmare.

[Nick]

That would be so bad.

[Dana]

Lo siento.

[Sam Talon]

Are you guys ever board up there but have to fake it?

[DJ 1]

That's a good question, too. I think not. Not a ton.

[Dana]

But it's on the ones and he's on the twos. Like, how does it work?

[DJ 2]

There's enough to do.

[DJ 1]

Yeah, they're also.

[DJ 2]

They, you know, you have to. We're moving around. There's stages. We're at microphone. You're obviously, like, mixing in between songs. So there's. There's plenty to do.

[DJ 1]

Yeah, but I would say there's been some. Where it's like, you know, if it goes past two and a half hours, gets to three hours, where it's like,

[DJ 2]

it's over my limit at that point.

[DJ 1]

It's not even boring. It's almost just like a little painful where it's like, I'm ready to wrap it up. And you're also thinking about the crowd. You're like, it's hard. You know, it's hard to. Our show is very, like, add high energy, not a lot of lulz. And so it's hard, you know, at some point you're like, all right, like, people's legs. Let's tie this with.

[Dana]

Right. If it's all bangers for two and a half hours, it's like, how do you fucking close?

[DJ 1]

Exactly.

[Dana]

That's funny because, like, I'm on stage trying to fucking kill. And then at the end, like, 10 minutes to go, you see him in the crowd and they're like, yeah. And. But with you guys, they've been on their fucking feet using their whole body for three fucking hours. I can't imagine.

[DJ 1]

You must land even longer because they're like. Like, for example, tomorrow night, we are actually the first opener for ourselves as well. So we're starting at like 6pm Two checks.

[Dana]

Well, my man bid.

[DJ 1]

So we do like, a throwback Fun set for 45 minutes. Then there's a couple other openers and Then we come back on to do the main set. So if you are there from the beginning and even earlier, if you get like a meet and greet thing, you're there.

[DJ 2]

Packs you were talking about.

[Dana]

Yeah, yeah.

[DJ 1]

People are there for no joke Mallet on the seven hours.

[Dana]

Fuck the work day.

[DJ 1]

Yeah, it's a. It's a workout.

[Dana]

But that's a great way to throw a show because you guys are coming out, you're opening, and then you're bringing on the. The openers, who I assume are friends of yours or you admire them.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Yeah.

[Dana]

So it's kind of like, hey, we're throwing this party. Thanks for coming. 45 minutes of y' all doing throwback jams, and then it's like, now we're bringing out the.

[DJ 1]

Totally.

[Dana]

Yeah, that's cool.

[DJ 1]

Yeah. No, it's been.

[Dana]

I like that you're putting on the youth.

[Nick]

How long does it. Does it take to usually make one of the mixes?

[DJ 2]

Big Booty Mix, I would say we're doing a lot of things during it, whether it's, you know, making other music or setting up for, like, other shows and stuff. But a long time.

[DJ 1]

Yeah, almost a full year at this point. Just because the show. It used to just be we make them and then you throw them on the Internet. Now we've kind of created the whole, like, Big Booty Land side of things, and that's the whole live premiere of them. And it's like. It's just a big project. There's a lot of departments and people involved. You know, the visuals, the lighting, the. The audio, the drummers, the horns, the singers, the. It's just. It's a lot.

[Dana]

Have you guys always been booty centric? Have you ever delved into, like, other parts of the. The form, like, Titty land or, like,

[DJ 2]

like, Big Booty line?

[Dana]

It's really.

[DJ 2]

It's really not about butts. You know, it's more of a. I'm

[Dana]

having a hard time believing.

[DJ 2]

I can tell. I. I trust.

[DJ 1]

What if I told you it's actually spelled B O O T I E? No.

[Dana]

Yeah. Make me mad.

[DJ 2]

Now you're angry.

[DJ 1]

But we did so early on, like, Big Booty Mix, Volume one through six or seven, they were.

[Sam Talon]

Wait, what?

[Dana]

There's seven Big Booty mixes, and you're not all about booty.

[DJ 1]

What if I told you Tomorrow night is 27?

[Nick]

What? What?

[Dana]

Yeah, now I'm.

[Sam Talon]

You've missed the first 26.

[DJ 1]

You know, the first seven, though, was. The artworks for them would be just like, a girl's ass with, like, you Know, a tattoo that says, two friends, volume one mom. And then our moms literally complain. They're like, guys, like, I don't. It's a little misogynistic. Like, maybe you should think about the artworks then.

[DJ 2]

Scared of, like, changing the branding. So then, like, the next three were, like, empty bikinis.

[DJ 1]

Oh, bikinis.

[Big Cat]

Like, on, like, L. Then the next

[DJ 2]

four were, like, butts on, like, gnomes and yard figurines.

[DJ 1]

There was, like, a bell pepper. Look up. Like, look up volume 13. Because there's like a. It's like a yellow bell pepper that looks like an ass. So that's, you know, toeing the line.

[Dana]

14. You took that pepper and you put it in a human ass.

[DJ 2]

No, 14 is where we lost it. That's a license.

[DJ 1]

14 was just a license.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, look at that.

[Nick]

Oh, hell yeah.

[DJ 2]

There you go. Oh, and there's a clean version.

[Sam Talon]

When you boys first started, was there a discussion on if you guys wear helmets on stage?

[DJ 2]

You know, it was trendy at the

[DJ 1]

time, obviously, and sometimes we look back and we're like. Like, that would have been nice because.

[DJ 2]

Well, would it have been nice?

[DJ 1]

I think. I think the people that wear the helmets.

[Sam Talon]

So hot, right?

[DJ 2]

So hot.

[DJ 1]

But there's rumors that some of those helmet wearers can just have a sub and they can stay at home and send out the sub.

[Sam Talon]

A Blue man group, right?

[DJ 2]

I don't think they do.

[Dana]

Some of them have doms, too.

[DJ 2]

I don't think they do it.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Do you feel pressured into starting a gimmick ever since Stevieoki did the throwing cake things at his live shows?

[Dana]

Does your dad own Benihana?

[DJ 1]

Unfortunately, I do. Like, Benny Hannah fun.

[Tate (mentioned)]

I. I like.

[DJ 2]

It's fun to be able to figure out, like, things that people look forward to. I would say they know even, like, knowing their team and stuff. Like, that's like, a whole thing. Like, it has to be a special baked a special way so it doesn't stick on people, so it doesn't ruin the floor. So really, it's like he got sued

[DJ 1]

by someone one time because it, like, hurt their neck. So now they, like.

[DJ 2]

I thought that was for, like.

[Tate (mentioned)]

And he's aiming for the face every time.

[DJ 2]

Yeah, he's got.

[Tate]

He.

[DJ 2]

No, he has an absolute cannon.

[DJ 1]

We have like, a whole, like, notepad that we add to throughout the year.

[DJ 2]

And some of them are insane.

[DJ 1]

Like, the ones that, like, for example, we have our saxophone is. We shoot fireworks out of his sax now. And that started from just, like, an idea where you write on the note and the whole team has access. So someone's like, what if we shot fireworks out of the sax? I'm like, okay, let's look into it. And. But some of them are like, yeah,

[DJ 2]

we have horrible ideas.

[DJ 1]

We had a hot dog shooter.

[DJ 2]

That's a hot dog shooter. I think we, we nixed it because

[Dana]

Dana's listening, you know.

[DJ 2]

Well, it's like, you know, you kind of want to a. Interact with the front row. I don't think that's going to go well, you know.

[Dana]

Yeah. With a feet away blasting them with

[DJ 2]

sausages so now and then also if the venue wasn't like these things are meant for like stadiums. Like they go hundreds of feet. What are you supposed to do? Just hit the ceiling and like let it.

[DJ 1]

We have some that are also just very half baked. Like not no details yet, but it will just say like Moses part the Red Sea.

[DJ 2]

What does that mean to you?

[DJ 1]

Yeah, then we never really got farther than that idea.

[Nick]

You guys ever go to a barstool blackout?

[Dana]

No.

[Nick]

But Jay.

[Dana]

Dante.

[DJ 1]

Dante, we. We go way back with Dante. Dante booked us at some the of his clubs early on.

[Nick]

Yeah, those were wild.

[DJ 1]

We were, we were just sitting in the. In the gambling cave with Dante and he was reminiscing. He's saying he misses the foam.

[Big Cat]

The foam part is Dante in the cave right now.

[DJ 1]

He was. I don't know. I don't know.

[Big Cat]

No, cuz I was. I was wondering if he was listening to this conversation and think he gone. Please don't bring up the time that I hit a. A chick with a bottle cork in the front row. I'm not going to bring it up.

[DJ 1]

Yeah, don't.

[Sam Talon]

That was big of you.

[Tate]

That's.

[DJ 2]

That's the rookie movie. You know, it's of kind going to come out fast. You gotta. You gotta really shoot up.

[Dana]

Are you guys in relationships?

[DJ 1]

Yeah, we. I'm married. Have a little. Little boy.

[Big Cat]

It's beautiful.

[Dana]

Congratulations. Is it difficult to navigate that?

[DJ 1]

Yeah, I mean he's. It's. He's only seven months, so it's still new. But I think figuring out, you know, home during the week usually and then.

[Big Cat]

I don't think he was asking about the little boy. I think he was asking like with all the thrown at you, were you

[DJ 1]

asking about the little boy or the.

[Dana]

You know, I'm asking about just what it is to be you man. Because I feel like I'm on the road, I have a wife. It's not easy. And you guys are like, you know, in front of like women dressed in dates.

[DJ 2]

We've all pretty, like focused. You know where it's.

[Dana]

You know, where are you guys getting.

[DJ 2]

You get trapped in that world real quick.

[Dana]

You guys were pounding early on. I imagine you guys pounded.

[DJ 2]

Honestly, we were always kind of in relationships. I will say the rest of our crew, not so much sometimes.

[Big Cat]

They pounded.

[Dana]

This guy. This guy reeks like this.

[Big Cat]

He is.

[Dana]

There's a real hound up there.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, dude.

[Mincy]

Yeah, man.

[Big Cat]

For you.

[Mincy]

Little trickle down.

[Sam Talon]

You still pounding Rex?

[DJ 2]

You know, actually he's. He's actually not the. The worst offender. There's. There's some other people that aren't here,

[Sam Talon]

but he's up an offender.

[Big Cat]

No, this guy's up.

[Dana]

Let's not describe getting his worst.

[Big Cat]

He cried at your wedding day. Cuz it just meant more for him.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah, it was the best day of his life. When you got mad married.

[Big Cat]

Why are you crying, dude?

[Sam Talon]

Do so much pounding when your DJ homie gets married.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yes. Oh, well, thank you guys for stopping by. You guys have a whole week, huh?

[DJ 2]

Yes.

[Big Cat]

Wait, are you throwing. You're throwing out the first pitch tonight.

[DJ 1]

That's the plan if we get.

[Big Cat]

Got to go on the rubber.

[Nick]

Nice.

[DJ 2]

I know, but I've. I've watched some horror. Horror stories.

[Big Cat]

Have to go on the rubber. We both play baseball, so you're fine.

[DJ 2]

That was center field. But like.

[Sam Talon]

Okay.

[DJ 2]

It's more like warm. They don't let you warm up. You're on a new rubber. You know it's not.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, but you got it. You will be judged if you don't.

[DJ 1]

What are they doing? I'm going to the road. I. I hope they just make you throw it.

[Big Cat]

You should get on one. One of you should get on the other one's shoulders. He can cat. That would be cool as.

[DJ 2]

That'd be sick.

[DJ 1]

He's on my shoulder.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get a big trench coat.

[Nick]

That would be cool.

[DJ 2]

Little Rascals.

[Big Cat]

That would be awesome.

[DJ 2]

I love that.

[DJ 1]

I'm a lefty, he's a righty. We were saying we could just like hold the ball together. Oh, I don't think that would go very well.

[Big Cat]

Oh, that'd be really cute.

[DJ 2]

That'd be more of like a 50 cent outcome where. Yeah. Hits the ground and.

[Nick]

Yeah, that'd be tough.

[Titus]

Dribbles.

[Dana]

That is unique though.

[DJ 2]

Yeah.

[Nick]

The first ones to ever do it maybe.

[DJ 2]

I don't know.

[Big Cat]

You should let him get in the box so he can hit a home run off you so you can get more.

[DJ 1]

I don't know. I don't know if that would go well. When's the last time you played baseball

[Dana]

that probably wouldn't go well. Yeah, definitely better for you guys. Okay. All right.

[Big Cat]

Well, thank you guys. Thank you for having us. Appreciate y'.

[Dana]

All go see them Saturday after my show.

[Nick]

[Big Cat]

Yeah. What? Yeah, I was like, so tune in tomorrow or Monday.

[Tate]

After the yak. I was sitting in my little cubby hole out here eating lunch, and he walks by with this, like, gorgeous woman.

[Sam Talon]

Six inch heels.

[Tate]

Gorgeous. And she was dressed to the nines and everything. And he is taking around introducing her to people. And so I got. They stopped in front of me and I stood up and I was like, am I supposed to, like, know who this is? Or is this, like somebody who works here now or what? So I introduced myself and he just said her first name. This is blank. And walked away. I was like, oh, okay. And I texted you. I was like, mincy's walking a gorgeous woman around right now.

[Mincy]

What's going on?

[Sam Talon]

And showed me a picture of her.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Yeah, I was talking to him like 10 minutes ago. I said, what was that yesterday with the girl here?

[Mincy]

He's.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Oh, second date.

[Dana]

And Stephen, you can't get this banker down here for the first date.

[Tate]

Brought her here on a drive.

[Sam Talon]

He just keeps getting in the middle of a work.

[Tate]

In the middle of a work day.

[Sam Talon]

Brought her here over and over.

[Tate]

Apparently a pickleball influencer.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

God is dead. That's a job. Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

Thousands of people just lost their faith.

[Big Cat]

So what was the.

[Sam Talon]

He had a date. He brought a date here.

[Big Cat]

Just brought a date here.

[Tate]

Yeah, but she was like, very beautiful.

[Big Cat]

But what did he say? Because he. He definitely said that it was not a date.

[Sam Talon]

No, he told me that it was a date.

[Tate (mentioned)]

He told me it was a second.

[Big Cat]

It was his date.

[Sam Talon]

Second date was an office.

[Big Cat]

She went somewhere. She might not have known that it was after.

[Titus]

There.

[Sam Talon]

It was after they got lost together.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, he's using this place as a date.

[Tate (mentioned)]

She was in a nice black dress. He was in a.

[Titus]

His.

[Sam Talon]

His camp hoodie. His shirt, it's more stain than hoodie.

[Big Cat]

It was a shocking average sec couple.

[Sam Talon]

This one would boggle your mind.

[Dana]

The disparity.

[Big Cat]

What.

[Nick]

The shocking image. Just seeing the.

[Sam Talon]

She said some lines that were concerning to Tate, and I want Tate to say.

[Titus]

All right, hold on.

[Big Cat]

Get Tate down here. I'll text him.

[Tate]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Very beautiful. Well, if you guys want to bring a really hot woman on a secret date, bring her to the Madison Comedy

[Sam Talon]

on St. We go.

[Dana]

Or Grand Rapids. I'll be in Austin Rosemont tonight.

[Tate]

I might try to go to Rosemont. That'd be really fun.

[Dana]

Everyone's laughing and going, this is great. We love this.

[Tate]

Went out there to see Francis last time. He was great.

[Dana]

Oh, yeah, the France man.

[Big Cat]

Wait, this chick is hot.

[Tate]

I know. She's, like, legit. She was gorgeous. Like, stop in my tracks.

[Sam Talon]

I was like, I'm sure it's. There's no ulterior motives.

[Big Cat]

Mince is a creature.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Sure.

[Dana]

Good call not handing you the phone, because I would have just liked all of her photos.

[Big Cat]

What the hell? What's the. What's the catch here?

[Tate (mentioned)]

Well, pickleball influencer.

[Dana]

Yeah, I.

[Sam Talon]

Coming down.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I mean, I just texted him. I don't know if he's here. I think he is. What the.

[Tate]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Yeah. The Mince man.

[Dana]

Mincing it up. Chop suey.

[Sam Talon]

I want to pull security footage of the tour. I really want to see or. But I think Tate overheard a lot

[Tate]

of it because he just told me. He didn't tell me who she was or why she was. It was just very. He was like. I feel like he was, like, showing her off to every.

[Tate (mentioned)]

This is my second office.

[Big Cat]

What is he doing? He doesn't even work. He's just bringing dates.

[Dana]

He's quite the phenomenon in the middle

[Tate (mentioned)]

of the day, too.

[Big Cat]

The middle of the day? Dates.

[Dana]

He's the proxy for the viewer into the world of barstool. Are you calling her?

[Big Cat]

I'm calling.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Dana]

Hey, you're hot.

[Nick]

What's your deal?

[Dana]

What does Mincy have on you?

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Tate]

And are you okay?

[Big Cat]

This to me, like. I'm fine.

[Mincy]

All right.

[Big Cat]

I don't know where he is.

[Dana]

Hopefully she's still alive.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah, I think there was a line of something, like, somebody was like. She said something about working here, and she said, hopefully one day we can

[Tate (mentioned)]

cut out the middleman. He is here.

[Dana]

Who?

[Big Cat]

Mincy's gonna here. Oh. Text him. Tell him. Go get him.

[Dana]

Grab.

[Eddie]

You want me go get him?

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

What?

[Sam Talon]

He showed her. He showed her where he sits, and he said, this is where I sit. Jack puts a camera on me here all the time.

[Tate]

Did he say that?

[DJ 2]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

What?

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Dana]

What?

[Nick]

Really?

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

He's probably showing a different woman around right now. Hasn't been.

[Sam Talon]

But I feel like this is the third time he's been honey potted.

[Tate]

Is that Him.

[Kate]

He's on the run.

[Tate]

He's on the move.

[Big Cat]

Go get him excited. It's about time. Where's Tate?

[Sam Talon]

I don't know.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Did he come back after pause?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I think I saw.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah, I talked to him in the office.

[Nick]

It's got a wedding every weekend.

[Big Cat]

He does have a lot of friends.

[Tate]

He's in that age range.

[Dana]

What are in these jars?

[Big Cat]

This is dirt from the Oakland Coliseum, which we all actually ingested on Tuesday.

[Sam Talon]

Out of a cup.

[Dana]

I'm not even ready to dirt, bro. Out of a that. Go Bronco goes.

[Big Cat]

Fake breasts.

[Dana]

Fake breasts.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah, we made a concoction and sucked

[Big Cat]

it out of a fake tit Tuesday. It feels like a hundred years ago. Thank God that was an alternate.

[Dana]

You just made your own tits and sucked them.

[Sam Talon]

We bought tits to give a picture

[Big Cat]

part to be losing. There's Kev.

[Dana]

Oh, yeah.

[Sam Talon]

Kev was all time titty.

[Tate]

Kev was the breast.

[Sam Talon]

Go to the nipple.

[Dana]

Wed Kev, baby.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah, buddy.

[Dana]

He loves it. That happened on Tuesday, huh? Well, glad I wasn't here on Tuesday.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[DJ 1]

[Big Cat]

Is the correct. Oh, what?

[Dana]

The sheep.

[Tate (mentioned)]

He's coming.

[Dana]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

They went on a. So he went on a middle of the date.

[Mincy]

There he is.

[Big Cat]

Hello.

[Tate]

Hi.

[Mincy]

How we doing?

[Big Cat]

Good.

[Titus]

What's up?

[Mincy]

Where do you want me sit?

[Big Cat]

Right there.

[Nick]

Probably go around.

[Big Cat]

No, no, don't sit in Kyle's. Yes, sit right there. Yeah, go around.

[Sam Talon]

Probably have to climb, rotate chair and then spin around.

[Tate (mentioned)]

I guess he's got this. Can't. Can't interfere with nature. Nope.

[Big Cat]

Oh, this is tough.

[Dana]

Here, sneak through right here. Oh, Titus.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Here, here.

[Big Cat]

Sit in Danny's seat real quick.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Right here. Right, right.

[Big Cat]

Miny, did you. First of all, how much Xanax did you. You have in your luggage?

[Mincy]

I had three.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Dana]

You rehearsed that response?

[Mincy]

No, I mean, it was truthful. I just didn't, you know.

[Big Cat]

Did you go on a date yesterday during the day?

[Mincy]

I mean, it was like 3:30.

[Big Cat]

That would be during the day.

[Mincy]

So. Yes.

[Big Cat]

What. What time was act. What time was lunch?

[Mincy]

Like I went and ate it. 3. 3. I think we were there from 3:15 to like 3:45.

[Big Cat]

And then you brought her back here?

[Mincy]

No, she came by before.

[Stephen]

Oh, before.

[Big Cat]

Was that part of the date?

[Mincy]

She likes bar stool. So I was like, hey, I'll give you a tour for 15 minutes and then we'll. We'll go eat and then I'll come back to work.

[Big Cat]

Okay. I don't really know all my follow ups.

[Mincy]

Maybe not.

[Big Cat]

You're using my studio to.

[Mincy]

I Mean, I, I, it had.

[Titus]

What the, that's crazy.

[Mincy]

It hadn't, it hadn't progressed to that level yet. So, you know, I don't know.

[Big Cat]

But you just, you were like, hey, yeah, just come sit in the PMT studio.

[Mincy]

No, I was like, hey, I was like, hey, I'll give you an off. I'll just give you like a walk

[Big Cat]

around the office during, during the work day.

[Mincy]

Well, I waited till after the act.

[Dana]

You should tell her that she has sex with you. You'll get her a job here

[Sam Talon]

again.

[Dana]

That's like a classic.

[Mincy]

You got to use all the tools at your disposal. You know, we're out, we're out here at 42 firing boys. You know, what are you gonna do?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I don't think anyone else is doing that, but, you know, you are, you are one of one guy in terms of. Yeah, I, I, I'm not mad. I'm, I don't really, really, I don't really know what to say. I don't. Because, like, if I was, if I got mad, then I'm, then I'm a block. You don't want to be that dude.

[Dana]

Hell no.

[Sam Talon]

So are you mad if he doesn't get laid?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, because that would meet, that would look bad on us.

[Dana]

Ask if she wants to pickle your

[Big Cat]

sad the PMT studio and like, nothing happens. You gotta close that deal, dude.

[Mincy]

I mean, she's beautiful woman, you know, we're trying.

[Dana]

Yeah, we're trying for children now.

[Big Cat]

Does she like you for years.

[Sam Talon]

You.

[Mincy]

I don't, We're.

[Sam Talon]

How, how you meet?

[Big Cat]

How you meet?

[Mincy]

I met her at a restaurant in Greek town I go to all the time through a mutual friend, a buddy who lives in the Tilted Kil.

[Big Cat]

What? So what, so you just went there and she was there?

[Mincy]

She was there with my buddy and I met her.

[Big Cat]

Got it. And then this was the second date.

[Mincy]

Yeah, we went to, we did like a church brunch Sunday deal.

[Big Cat]

Hell yes.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, so.

[Mincy]

So it's been daytime.

[Dana]

Woman of faith, Captain.

[DJ 1]

Yeah.

[Titus]

What was the thought, what was the thought behind the date being at 3:15pm

[Big Cat]

yeah, you, you done double dates in the middle of the days?

[Mincy]

Yeah, that was. So the first one was a Sunday, though.

[Big Cat]

She goes again middle of the day.

[Dana]

She's dating her boyfriend at night.

[Titus]

Yeah, I don't, I feel like that's not a common time to, to take someone out on a date. But, like, you know what? So are you just behind?

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Are you progressing towards the night? Like, are you, Your first date was at 10:00am Second date was at 3:00'.

[Dana]

Clock. Now we're gonna sundown.

[Mincy]

We'll see.

[Sam Talon]

Dinner.

[Mincy]

We'll see.

[Sam Talon]

Have you been in contact?

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

What'd she do for a living?

[Mincy]

She's in like social media and marketing. She's like. Works for pickleball. She. Yeah, she does stuff with like pickleball.

[Dana]

It's a really growing, you know, it's growing sport.

[Stephen]

You know, Mincy, at the lunch the other day, are you picking up the tab? You going Dutch?

[Mincy]

We picked the tab up.

[Dana]

We, we.

[Big Cat]

For me, that bar stool.

[Mincy]

No, no, there was no there, there, there. There's no expensing of.

[Big Cat]

Hey, wait a second. I don't have my credit card in my office.

[Titus]

That's why it was during work hours.

[Mincy]

No, I. I definitely did not expense and it, it went on my debit card.

[Big Cat]

I don't think I. I think my only reaction is like, good luck.

[Mincy]

Thank you.

[Dana]

I think you got this.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, like I can't have a. You better close just here.

[Dana]

I'll be her. You be you. All right, let's try and seal the deal. Oh, Mincy, what a great date we just had today. It's 5:30. I'm really moved by this.

[Mincy]

Yeah, I think we got to go to the night one for to figure that out.

[Dana]

I'd love that.

[Sam Talon]

I don't think he's role playing with.

[Dana]

If you offered me a job, I would have sex with you for sure.

[Mincy]

I'm pretty confident. If anybody in this company is a spot to offer people a job, it ain't me.

[Sam Talon]

Has she shown any interest in working here?

[Dana]

Every girl's dream.

[Mincy]

I mean not. I don't know. I mean she likes barstool. I don't think it's anything like beyond that, but okay, but you know, I'm me. What are you gonna do? You know, we're out. Like I said, we're out here at 42. You know, we're trying to do the damn thing. We're out here, we're out here fighting. You know me. What are you gonna do? We're trying for a little post type breakout here.

[Kate]

What did I miss? Were there any twists?

[Big Cat]

No, no.

[Sam Talon]

She sat in big cat seat.

[Big Cat]

She sat pft seat. She.

[Sam Talon]

She just the eyeball to the PMT

[Big Cat]

studio and sat kb.

[Tate]

Did you miss this whole thing?

[Dana]

I'm gonna go smell that chair real quick.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

It's time for our next segment.

[Big Cat]

Wait, what time was that? We were here.

[Dana]

It.

[Mincy]

It was about. She came at like 2:30.

[Big Cat]

We were like sitting right outside the PMT 3:30.

[Mincy]

It was after I made. Well. Well, in my twisted, convoluted head, I was like, if you're gonna come by, you can't come by till after the act.

[Big Cat]

You know why?

[Mincy]

Because y' all are feeling. You know, I figured after the act, it's, like, a little more laid back for visitors.

[Dana]

Work day's over. After the act.

[Big Cat]

This is crazy.

[Titus]

At the office on a Thursday.

[Eddie]

Well, let's say.

[Big Cat]

Let's see how to date at the office on a Thursday.

[Dana]

I think it's a good angle, man. Our game respects game. I see what you're up to, young blood.

[Mincy]

What are you going to do?

[Dana]

You know, like I said, I mean, offer her work.

[Mincy]

I can't do that. I can't. I can't. I cannot offer any person on earth gainful employment at bar.

[Kate]

Yeah, look, I play right now.

[Mincy]

Yeah, but that's not. I don't.

[Sam Talon]

What did you talk about on the date?

[Big Cat]

Was there not any part of you that was like, it's Thursday in the middle of the day day. Exactly the time to have a date.

[Mincy]

Well, I mean, the real.

[Sam Talon]

Don't look at the clothes.

[Mincy]

Well, I mean that.

[Big Cat]

Even. Just, like.

[Dana]

Well, to be fair, his. His watch was inside her.

[Big Cat]

Brick watch. Go get him now. All, like, just even remotely being like, you know what's a weird time to do a date? 2:30.

[Mincy]

Well, okay, so.

[Sam Talon]

Or did you want it when people were here?

[Mincy]

No, no, the thought was, it was originally scheduled for Thursday night, but she was leaving town Friday morning, and so she was like, hey, can we do late afternoon instead? And I was like, yeah, well, yeah, okay. That was. That was what happened, because it was scheduled for. It was originally planned for Thursday night. And then she said, I.

[Big Cat]

Like, I kind of. I'm kind of shocked. And, like, in a. I. I don't want to say respect.

[Sam Talon]

I don't.

[Big Cat]

I almost said that word, but I don't. I don't. But I did. You know, like, I'm. I'm inching closer and closer to the line of, like, respect.

[Dana]

But no. Well, if he brought her here.

[Big Cat]

Can't say that.

[Mincy]

I can't say that.

[Dana]

If you brought her here.

[Big Cat]

Help me, Titus. Help me. You see the angst?

[Titus]

Yeah, I see what you're saying. It's the audacity. There's something about the audacity that you're just like, I have no more cards to play. So funny.

[Tate]

Crazy.

[Sam Talon]

He's innovating. What were your stops on the tour? Like, where'd you go? Around the office, meet.

[Mincy]

She got. We Gave. We did both floors, went through studios. You know, I told her no pictures of out there of stuff for next week because I've already spoiled enough stuff on that in my career.

[Big Cat]

Did you show her where you sit?

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Did you. What did you say when you said, this is where I sit?

[Mincy]

Said this is. I'm up here with all the content people.

[Dana]

Did you say, if you want to take a seat and you point at your face? That's a good move.

[Sam Talon]

That's how Sam met his gal.

[Mincy]

I didn't think about that.

[Dana]

Well, if he brought her here at night, no one could see how hot she was. So that's. I think that's the one.

[Titus]

Yeah. If the date was at night, would you have brought her by?

[Mincy]

No. I thought.

[Big Cat]

Oh. So, yeah.

[Tate]

So then.

[Big Cat]

There. That.

[Mincy]

That.

[Big Cat]

That's it right there.

[Dana]

I get it.

[Mincy]

Well, I mean, I just thought that.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that. That. Just. Thank you, Titus. Yeah, that. That was a very important. I rest my case.

[Sam Talon]

So the.

[Mincy]

The.

[Big Cat]

Finally we got the exact question I was looking for.

[Sam Talon]

The chick that you brought. Brought in Scottsdale. She was also, like, a sports creator, right? Is that your type?

[Mincy]

I don't know. I never really thought about it that way.

[Dana]

Your heart's just open, and you're looking to fill it with love.

[Mincy]

Look, here's. I mean, this is an unrelatable truth of life. I enjoy hanging around beautiful women, brother. I mean, I'm good, you know, I mean, I just. Just. Anytime there's a chance to hang around beautiful women, I'm gonna try to do it. Okay.

[Dana]

Reach.

[Mincy]

You know, it's. I mean, it's never. And I'm good.

[Tate]

Hang out once.

[Sam Talon]

Are you guys texting or still conversing? Is it going well?

[Mincy]

Yeah, we're texting.

[Dana]

Good.

[Mincy]

I will say.

[Dana]

Any photos in the texts?

[Mincy]

I mean, she posted. I could never read. So the women thing. Okay.

[Tate]

It's just.

[Mincy]

I. Reading women is just a mystery of life that I still can't figure out at 40.

[Sam Talon]

Stop that.

[Mincy]

At 42. But, I mean, she. That she threw the pickup on the IG story, so I thought the.

[Sam Talon]

That was good sign.

[Mincy]

I think it's good.

[Dana]

But, you know, it's good.

[Mincy]

It's good sign, you know? So who knows?

[Big Cat]

I forgot. Mantis almost got fired for this. Yes, I. I completely blanked that out here last night.

[DJ 1]

They went to the bar.

[Sam Talon]

Our bar.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Stephen]

No, you just brought the date here.

[Dana]

Correct. You're in a bizarro world who just

[Big Cat]

brings strangers into our office? Like, what makes you think you can do that?

[Mincy]

She seemed cool. And safe.

[Sam Talon]

It doesn't matter what she thinks.

[Eddie]

I don't care.

[Big Cat]

But what time was that date?

[Sam Talon]

That looked like it was night.

[Tate]

It was late that night.

[Big Cat]

Think you have the authority to be like, yep, I'm gonna go.

[Mincy]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

In the office.

[Mincy]

I'm now reconsidering. This is a poor decision.

[Dana]

I think it's.

[Big Cat]

But I actually, weirdly, like, I see Dave's anger there. Mincy basically got fired for that. The middle of the day is just so baffling that I, like, can't I just put my hands up?

[Sam Talon]

I think he just owns you.

[Eddie]

Big.

[Tate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Soft on crime. Soft on crime. What are you gonna do?

[DJ 2]

I am.

[Big Cat]

I mean, I call it crime. No, I. No, he is a criminal. He's a criminal. He's stealing.

[Dana]

He's a thought criminal.

[Big Cat]

He's a criminal. I'm soft on it. I was hard on it for a little bit there, but I, I did not. I had no idea this was going on. I saw a text, well, after the fact being like, did anyone see the chick Mincy brought by?

[Sam Talon]

And I thought you had the office of Buzz.

[Big Cat]

I thought it was like, an ad deal or something. That would have been stupid. I thought it was.

[Dana]

It was.

[Big Cat]

I don't know what I thought it was. I didn't think it was a date. That's crazy.

[Dana]

I'm happy for you game, you know, Good luck.

[Big Cat]

Oh, my God. This guy, man.

[Kate]

What's next?

[Big Cat]

It's just crazy.

[Nick]

The smirk.

[Kate]

He did exactly.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I can't. I'm stuck. Like, he's a soldier, dude. I can't. I, I can't.

[Kate]

He doesn't skips. He.

[Big Cat]

I don't want to.

[Kate]

Avoids boundaries. And he did what he had to do. It was bring her here.

[Big Cat]

We might actually make it. We might reverse it. Be like, Mincy, you are not allowed to go on dates unless it's dirty.

[Titus]

You have to bring every date.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Every single date has to be the middle of the day at the bar. Still office on a 30. You are no longer allowed to date at night or the weekends.

[Sam Talon]

Were you looking? Did you try to find Big Cat to introduce her?

[Big Cat]

So I called, definitely.

[Mincy]

No, no, I caught you. You were coming out, leaving after yak, and she was. When I was out front. You remember yesterday when you were. You hopped in the van, leaving even, like, I, I, I. Oh, is this

[Big Cat]

a chick that tried to kiss me?

[Mincy]

No, I don't. She never saw. She never saw you. No, but, like, I was. I was meeting her out front when you, when you were leaving after the act yesterday because you. You saw me when you walked out, but you were all business. I said. Because I gave you.

[Big Cat]

Like, I wasn't leaving. I was doing a commercial in the.

[Mincy]

The parking lot. Okay. I gave you like a one because

[Big Cat]

it was 2:30 workout.

[Sam Talon]

I don't know how to respond to that.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yeah.

[Dana]

After the act.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, he was leaving, trying to give you 2:30.

[Mincy]

I tried to give you. I got. Tried to give big cattle. What's up? But it was an all business.

[Dana]

He just walked right by, you know, cameras on him.

[Titus]

So you said. We. We showed Dave's tweet and you said, like, I kind of. Now I get what it's. What. What do you get? Like, as you're. As you're thinking back on it, like, what do you think? Like, yeah, maybe I shouldn't have done that.

[Mincy]

Just this entire interaction in here has kind of got me thinking that. But, you know.

[Titus]

Yeah. Like, what specifically? Like, why. Why do you think that? Why do you think this is so humorous to us?

[Mincy]

I get why it's humorous, but.

[DJ 2]

Yeah.

[Titus]

And I'm asking you why. Yeah. What. Like, what is.

[Mincy]

Like, how could my brain, like, think that that's like, okay, you know, like, I just think it's.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Mincy]

But I just like, oh, I don't think it'll be that.

[Titus]

But like, what aspect is it the middle of the day? Is it the bringing a date? Like, I'm trying to figure out. Trying to figure out if this is gon.

[Sam Talon]

And how so you could be here.

[Titus]

Yeah, I want to be here to see it.

[Sam Talon]

Well, you will be here.

[Titus]

Like, you're redoing it. What do you do differently? What do you think we're. We're. What do you think you're here for?

[Mincy]

I think I.

[Titus]

Because I don't.

[Sam Talon]

I.

[Big Cat]

This is a problem.

[Titus]

I don't think. I think you actually.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Now I'm going to save you, Titus. This is the problem, Minty, because he is like, I am soft on crime, but, like, there is. There's nothing else for him to do. There's no job.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Do during the.

[Dana]

The day.

[Big Cat]

So a date actually is. Why not.

[Titus]

Why not? You got nothing else.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Like there's nothing else going on.

[Sam Talon]

Holy.

[Titus]

Yeah, you kind of said like, I get it. I don't. I don't

[Big Cat]

get it.

[Titus]

I don't think he's putting it together.

[Big Cat]

I think I might have to make it so that he will only do dates during the day.

[Sam Talon]

Did you offer. Did you tell her to go sit in. Pft. Seat or did she Want to.

[Mincy]

I just gave her to her and she. She was. Yeah, she just went and sat there.

[Dana]

She doesn't have a key.

[Mincy]

She wanted to pick of the part of my take. Studio.

[Big Cat]

Is she pissing the bill straw?

[Mincy]

I don't think so.

[Big Cat]

Okay. That would have been worth it. Just. Wow.

[Nick]

Is she gonna see this?

[Mincy]

I'm sure.

[Big Cat]

I mean, I don't feel bad about that. She. She came to the office in the middle of a work day and like,

[Sam Talon]

I feel like that's fair.

[Big Cat]

That's totally fair game.

[Titus]

Post a picture.

[Big Cat]

If she came at night and it was like not posting pictures, like, all right. Yeah, that's totally off limits in the middle of the day.

[Dana]

This is also the. That pickleball's got in a while. It's not all torn ACLs on Grandpa anymore.

[Big Cat]

Mints.

[Dana]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I. You are. You.

[Mincy]

You're owned. You are owned.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, but we're. But I'm trying to now I'm. Listen hand up soft on crime. But I do at least realize. And kb you'll back me up on this.

[Tate (mentioned)]

The.

[Big Cat]

The content fact part of this. This guy is the content.

[Tate]

It's just.

[Big Cat]

Just watching him is just fascinating.

[Dana]

He's the sin eater.

[Big Cat]

So how can we. So Mincy, I'm gonna say this right now. I hope you have a future with this girl. You are not allowed to date her unless it's in this office.

[Titus]

You have to bring her by.

[Big Cat]

You have to bring her here every day. You want to go on a date with her?

[Mincy]

Okay.

[Kate]

And where is she now?

[Big Cat]

She's good now.

[Mincy]

Going to Fort Lauderdale today.

[Big Cat]

Okay, so when's the. When are you gonna ask for another date?

[Mincy]

It would probably be in a couple weeks when she's back in town. It's going to be like early June.

[Big Cat]

Like, I want the next date. I want the next date to be you in the gambling cave watching the yak. Be like, hey, want to go see a movie and just watch the yak?

[Sam Talon]

Why can't they just watch a movie? Watch the mummy.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Forrest Gump screening at. At noon in the gambling game. We'll get a blanket in there and do the pop.

[Dana]

Do the popcorn trick.

[Big Cat]

I want Mitzy on like an official. In the middle of the day. Like the whole thing.

[Mincy]

I'll feel it out. Let me see what I can do.

[Dana]

We.

[Big Cat]

I bet you will, you dirty dog. On that couch for Brandon, the pull out couch. We can make you a room. Maybe you can ask her if she wants to go back to your room.

[Dana]

And it's just the Bathroom.

[Big Cat]

Oh my God. Yeah. No, I want you to. I want you to ask her to. To see a movie and it be in the gambling cave.

[Mincy]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

But other people are allowed to be in the gambling cave too.

[Dana]

Gambling.

[Mincy]

Okay.

[Dana]

Playing mahjong.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Yeah. Blutman will be sitting next to you right there.

[Mincy]

All right.

[Sam Talon]

Did Tate respond?

[Big Cat]

No, he hasn't responded.

[Sam Talon]

Did Tate meet her?

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Did Tate get her number? Where's Tate? He hot?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I guess. Congrats.

[Mincy]

I don't know that.

[Kate]

How is. How what is? Her beauty

[Sam Talon]

immense.

[Kate]

She met the threshold. If she was less beautiful, you probably wouldn't have done it.

[Mincy]

I mean, I'm not all in it just for like. I'm not that shallow, you know, I'm all about total package. Good personality, you know?

[Dana]

It's not just like a little 42 man.

[Mincy]

Yeah. Not just like.

[Sam Talon]

She's not 42, is she?

[Mincy]

No.

[Sam Talon]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

Oh no, that'd be gross.

[Titus]

No 42 year old woman. Can you imagine even know they made him that old?

[Nick]

What are you thinking about, Big Cat?

[Big Cat]

I. He's just. He. He keeps. He keeps surprised.

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I just don't know how because I thought I knew all his moves.

[Kate]

Oh.

[DJ 2]

Huh.

[Big Cat]

Cuz we've.

[Titus]

This one was, I guess this one. So he thinks he's like pulling a fast one on you and that like kind of bothers you. This one he wasn't even trying to pull a fast. No, he walked straight up to your face. Walked straight into the studio.

[Sam Talon]

He said, do something.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. And again the fact he's trying to get. He's trying to get laid, it's like I can't as a guy, I can't be like, dude, don't do that. Like no.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Come on, man.

[Titus]

What sets you off with him is when he's like, will you send me to Louisville?

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Right? And it's like, dude, I know doing what you're.

[Titus]

You're doing for the ufl and then

[Big Cat]

you're like, this one was just straightforward, right?

[Titus]

It could not be more straightforward.

[Big Cat]

He ran power eye and we couldn't stop it. Marilyn. He just four yards in a cloud of dust. That's the miny method. Now

[Sam Talon]

you've evolved.

[Big Cat]

Can't stop it. He's going to line him up. He's going to run the same the Green Bay power sweep right down my throat and I can't stop it.

[Dana]

He's running the trap on that ass.

[Big Cat]

Hold the guard. I'm in space. Just getting pancakes.

[Dana]

Yeah. You're gonna ear hole by Mincy's sex game. Oh, my God, that's fun. Oh, man.

[Big Cat]

All right, Mincy, this is called a book.

[Mincy]

Looking back on it, the time timing during the work day was not smart. Because it's. Because it's like not why you being the leader of this office, right? Like, what if everybody was doing that? You can't have that, you know, what

[Big Cat]

are people doing during the workday?

[Mincy]

Working.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[Mincy]

Yeah, I could see why this.

[Big Cat]

It's actually so funny because even if he didn't bring her to the office, that's still crazy to go have like a date at 3:30 in the afternoon on a Thursday.

[Dana]

I think it's normal if you're like Zach Braff or something.

[Sam Talon]

That's about it.

[Dana]

It's a graph and the list ends. If you're like going on a penny farthing bike ride around, that's fine for midday, but like, hey, do you want to go to the office and meet?

[Sam Talon]

He's not here, but here's his chair.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, sort of the PMT studio video.

[Sam Talon]

Did she ask you to take her picture or did you just do it?

[Mincy]

Josh, she asked me.

[Big Cat]

Oh, my God. All right, so next date has to be here.

[Mincy]

Okay, all right, I'll ask. I mean, I can't promise she'll say,

[Big Cat]

but not at night. You're not allowed here at night.

[Mincy]

Okay. Unless it's after dark, I'm sure.

[Big Cat]

Yes. If you're actually working my co host,

[Mincy]

after Dark, I'm in there a lot.

[Big Cat]

Oh, your co host.

[Mincy]

It's a working title, but as of right now.

[Big Cat]

Does he know about this?

[Mincy]

Oh, yeah, yeah, it's he pulled. It's like cycles where he strips me of it and gives it back. But anybody said, currently we're doing good and, you know, so we are.

[Big Cat]

I really wish he was here because he. He overheard a bunch of this. Tate.

[Sam Talon]

I believe so.

[Titus]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Sam Talon]

Was he there?

[Mincy]

For what matter? Everybody. Yeah, everybody.

[Tate]

Everybody. Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

I didn't. I didn't.

[Big Cat]

Everybody. Everyone met her. She wrote a blog.

[Sam Talon]

We need to pull tapes. Guess.

[Nick]

Blog.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Wrote a blog.

[Dana]

We're calling Tate.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, we're calling Tate.

[Tate]

Calling Tate.

[Big Cat]

I actually. And this is one of those times where, like, I don't care that people are like, you're soft on crime because it's so ridiculous.

[Titus]

So ridiculous.

[Big Cat]

And what else is he gonna do? He's not doing anything else that's gonna.

[Titus]

Like, there's no opportunity.

[Big Cat]

This is the. Yeah, this is.

[Titus]

There's no opportunity. It's not like, if Miny wasn't doing this, he was.

[Big Cat]

Right. Right. Like, yeah, we. The nuclear codes got lost.

[Mincy]

Nothing.

[Sam Talon]

Nothing's on that back burner.

[Big Cat]

Right?

[Sam Talon]

Like, the inbox didn't grow.

[Big Cat]

Wake up. Mincy didn't get out yesterday. Okay.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Who cares?

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Titus]

That is the time you usually record.

[Mincy]

Yeah, we just. We gotta. Anyway, we got. We gotta figure out.

[Titus]

We gotta.

[Mincy]

We gotta get creative ideas. It wasn't doing well. We gotta get Tuesday. It wasn't doing that well, but it is.

[Big Cat]

Like, this is the whack pack thing. Like, he's got. He's a fabric of this office for doing like this. It's like this is the value.

[Titus]

That's right.

[Big Cat]

Oh, you're fascinated.

[Kate]

Don't change.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, right.

[Kate]

I don't think you have the capacity to. But don't. This is good.

[Dana]

What you ever done, Mincy Cam? You know, like.

[Big Cat]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, yeah.

[Dana]

Good.

[Tate]

We actually have someone who goes with him on trip sometimes. Just to document.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, just to document.

[Mincy]

Oh, speaking of that.

[Big Cat]

Incapable of making content on his own. You.

[Sam Talon]

You don't have the ability to look inwards. You could say it, but you can't do it.

[Titus]

Yes.

[Dana]

Very good.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Mincy]

Yeah. Speaking of that, I. I might have something to ask you about on that front for fall.

[Dana]

Do it here.

[Mincy]

Yeah.

[DJ 1]

No.

[Mincy]

So let's go. If we're. While we're on this.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah. Let's just go.

[Mincy]

Okay. So, Tate, now.

[Big Cat]

Wait, wait. Let's do Mad Libs in this. Give us the. Give us the. The date.

[Mincy]

September 18th.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Mincy]

I don't think this one's gonna be hard to figure out. Figure out all Right.

[Big Cat]

Hold on one second.

[Mincy]

I think this might be the most obvious thing that's I've ever asked.

[Big Cat]

One second.

[Titus]

September 18th.

[Big Cat]

September 18th. So this is. You look up the Ole Miss schedule.

[Dana]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I'm gonna look up.

[Sam Talon]

Play LSU on the 19th or 19th.

[Big Cat]

19.

[Mincy]

I meant 19.

[Big Cat]

Widespread.

[Mincy]

Nope, nope. They had panic. Hadn't announced September yet.

[Titus]

Oh, you're going to. It's LSU Ole Miss.

[Mincy]

It's the Lane return to auction.

[Titus]

It's the. It's the racism off.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, yeah.

[Titus]

The two programs that are.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Where'd you go?

[Mincy]

I feel like 60 years ago.

[Big Cat]

You know what? No, no, no, no, no. I don't want the answer. Bad idea. All right. So. So what? What's the pitch?

[Mincy]

The pitch is that's going to be the biggest, most hyped up game college football this year because Lane coming back to Oxford and all the bad blood. And I've already said it. So Tate and I are doing UFL Columbus in a couple weeks because we have the two UFL deal. But I've already. We've already reached out to T. Bob and we think. Tate, me and T. Bob for LSU Ole Miss in Oxford. And we think we sit in student section.

[Big Cat]

Say I. I don't say we.

[Mincy]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

I think it's your trip.

[Mincy]

I think this.

[Big Cat]

Because I. I can guarantee you that Tate doesn't want to go to Ole Miss. You. On a Saturday when Ohio State's playing.

[Dana]

Well, it's.

[Mincy]

Tate does want to go. He's. This is the one that, you know, we. We. He does want to go.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Dana]

Just.

[Mincy]

Tate. Tate wants to go.

[Big Cat]

Keep with the.

[Mincy]

I. I thought that adding T. Bob with the LSU dynamic would make it a lot better content on the road. And I also, you know, obviously.

[Big Cat]

Hold on, hold on. Hold that thought. Tate.

[Dana]

Hey, what's up? Do you.

[Mincy]

Are you here? No.

[Big Cat]

Okay. Do you. Did. Do you want to go to lsu? Ole Miss?

[Tate (mentioned)]

Yeah, I would definitely go to lsu.

[Big Cat]

But do you want. Like, is it. Is it because he's. Mincy's sitting right here right now saying, you want to go?

[Tate (mentioned)]

No, no, no. That's not the Benny. I said this big cat. I like doing it with Ben. I'm concerned about over saturation. So I want to do like tent pole events.

[Mincy]

Right.

[Tate (mentioned)]

And this is one. He said like Mardi Gras or College World Series or this. I do agree that this is something I would be interested.

[Big Cat]

Okay. All right, good. So. And then what happened with the date yesterday? Can you give us any intel? Because it's. It still just shocked us yeah, she's a.

[Tate (mentioned)]

She's an influence, A pickleball influencer.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Tate (mentioned)]

And they were just doing the tour,

[Eddie]

and I heard a little bit of

[Tate (mentioned)]

the tour, and Mincy was just like, yeah, this is where I sit. The Yak likes to put their cameras on me here.

[Sam Talon]

Here.

[Tate (mentioned)]

And he was just, like, showing her the office. And then I asked her. I was like, what are you doing? And I was like, are you, like, getting the, like, employee, like, show around? And she's like, no, unless you guys

[Mincy]

want to hire me.

[Titus]

So.

[Tate (mentioned)]

So Ben was being very nice to her, but I also think she may have ulterior motives.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Okay.

[Tate (mentioned)]

I asked Ben if. I asked Ben if I could post a photo, and he said yes, anytime post posting a photo with him and a hot girl improves his status. And then I went to. But there was backgrounds of surviving stuff. And then he said, unless they're surviving barstool, I've already that up once.

[Big Cat]

Got it. Got it. Okay. Okay. Yeah. All right. Well, yeah, it's quite something. He's shocked.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Do we have any plans for this, or.

[Big Cat]

What do you mean?

[Titus]

Is this.

[Tate (mentioned)]

I didn't. I haven't been watching. Is he talking?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sam Talon]

He.

[Big Cat]

He's. He still doesn't realize how crazy it was. But I am demanding that his next date with her happens in the office. Movie date in the middle. In the gambling cave in the middle of the day.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Let me know if you need me to document.

[Big Cat]

I would. I would actually like you to document. Yes.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

Okay. Okay.

[DJ 2]

Bye.

[Big Cat]

What movie are you guys gonna watch? Something that you know all the lines.

[Dana]

Radio.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Mincy]

Major league.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. I want you to say the lines before they.

[Mincy]

The Bob Euchre. Major League's my favorite. Just a bit outside. That's all we got is one hit.

[Tate]

One real panty dropper.

[Mincy]

Damn.

[Sam Talon]

Hit. Yeah, that'll do.

[Titus]

This is awesome.

[Nick]

What a Friday, man.

[Titus]

Just another day at the Stool.

[Big Cat]

Just another day at the Stool.

[Sam Talon]

Cool.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Sam. Talent. Two friends.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Foley.

[Dana]

Who could forget about two friends? They were great in here.

[Sam Talon]

They were great, good guys.

[Dana]

They were solid guys.

[Tate]

Booty. Big booty mix.

[Dana]

Big booty mix. You like big booties, Mincy?

[Mincy]

Sure.

[Dana]

All right.

[Titus]

Oh, more of a tip, man, by that answer.

[Big Cat]

So here's. Here's the. Here's really where we're at right now, which sucks for me the most because he now realizes that he kind of up. So he's gonna try to come up to me and apologize and explain that I don't want to talk to him off the air. So, like, Now I've screwed myself because now I'm gonna have to have a follow up with him and I don't want to do that.

[Titus]

That's right.

[Mincy]

All right, so no follow up. If no follow up, no text.

[Big Cat]

Don't want. No text, no talk. No, I want. When we end this show today, I want to. I know.

[Nick]

Okay, but you can't go home because

[Stephen]

it's a work day.

[Big Cat]

Well, he probably has a date. I'm gonna sit around and wait for the next date to show up.

[Sam Talon]

Is you've brought here.

[Big Cat]

Absolutely not.

[Mincy]

I mean, I brought my sister by.

[Big Cat]

Well, come on, dude.

[Mincy]

Have I brought the other ones by here? Oh, oh, you. Taylor. But she's come in for shows and stuff. Friend of the program for sure. I think that's it.

[DJ 2]

You.

[Big Cat]

You going forward, you have to. You have to be dating out of here exclusively. And you have to. You have to let Tate know. Hey, I got a date today.

[Mincy]

Okay?

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

Well, if it's content, can you expense the dates

[Dana]

you.

[Big Cat]

Nick.

[Dana]

Now we're talking.

[Big Cat]

You.

[Dana]

Nick, Good question.

[Sam Talon]

I got you. Mensy.

[Big Cat]

Don't even do the thing where you walk by me wanting me to say something to you and I don't say anything and you keep walking by me. Okay, you know what move I'm talking about?

[Mincy]

Yeah, you do?

[Sam Talon]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mincy]

It's usually when you're sitting goes around office. It's what he. It's what he's sitting in the office. It's what he's sitting in the office and I'm just kind of like poking around.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Like, hey, you're more annoyed by the impending conversation. Correct.

[Big Cat]

100%.

[Titus]

Anything that he's done.

[Big Cat]

This is hilarious. Like I don't care.

[Titus]

You're just like, now he's going to talk.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, like the soft on. I don't care. This is funny. Content to me because it's so outrageous and it's only him. I just don't want to have to just have like him try to explain his. This situation off air while I'm like trying to walk quickly by him.

[Mincy]

Okay, say, say less. Got it.

[Kate]

Do you feel like you further solidified your authority over him?

[Big Cat]

No, I. I can't do. He's. He's. He's like.

[Kate]

He's another child of mine punching magnet of steel.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, you can tell. You can.

[Mincy]

I never thought of it that way.

[Dana]

Oh, that was like we might have

[Big Cat]

to go to like, like, like true. Like what I do with my kids. Like we might have to go to like a sticker system or Something. It's like, if he earns enough stickers, you can have a date. Yeah. I don't know what else to do. And people are gonna be like, oh, you should fire him. It's like, no, dude, he. He does. He entertains me in a up way. I don't know what else to say. You grew them back, E.B. he's fascinating.

[Sam Talon]

I. Yeah.

[Big Cat]

No other human being would do what he does.

[Mincy]

What?

[Stephen]

This is an hour plus of yak fodder, and this is a storyline that will continue.

[Big Cat]

Yes.

[DJ 1]

We're going to have.

[Big Cat]

I can't wait to. To watch him watch a movie in the middle of the day with a blanket under a blanket with his date

[Dana]

under a blankets. That's serious.

[Sam Talon]

The move.

[Dana]

That's third base.

[Big Cat]

I'm still so nervous. I might need to, like, get the security to. You should probably get separated because I know he's gonna try to talk to me.

[Dana]

Right.

[Mincy]

You've made it plenty clear. And you won't be hearing from me.

[Big Cat]

All right, you know what? Why don't you leave now so that way we don't leave together. I don't want to walk out the

[Mincy]

same door, because then you're gonna have a great weekend.

[Big Cat]

See you, buddy.

[Mincy]

Gotta get hot in Battle Creek, Michigan. And poker.

[Eddie]

Let's go.

[Big Cat]

Oh, there we go. We got the poker coming up.

[Dana]

Yeah, ma'. Am.

[Kate]

All right, all right.

[Titus]

See? Oh, no.

[Big Cat]

All right. Get

[Sam Talon]

te. Do you have the security tapes?

[Big Cat]

What do you say?

[Dana]

There you go.

[Big Cat]

Can't say anything.

[Tate]

So pleased with himself.

[Sam Talon]

So the way he was grinning.

[Big Cat]

I hate that part. That part I hate.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Titus]

He's loving it.

[Sam Talon]

We're all his.

[Dana]

He's got the perfect weapon.

[Titus]

His aha moment was his aha. Like, oh, I get it now. I shouldn't have done that. Was just pulling up the tweets. Like, we almost fired Mantis for this.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Titus]

Like, oh, it was just Dave saying we might fire you.

[Big Cat]

I will say in a weird defensive mincy, he did. Mantis did it at night. Like, truly trying to make sure that no one saw it. Miny was just. He robbed a bank and date brought daylight.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

And the bomb exploded all over his face.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. No, this didn't phase him at all.

[Dana]

No, no, no.

[Big Cat]

This.

[Kate]

That was bulletproof. Very bizarre for me.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Kate]

You guys were bullying him to Smither. Like, he was leaning against smirk him Sparkus, and he was moaning and coming about it. He was impervious to. You said you were saying the meanest

[Big Cat]

things possible, but they're not mean. They're not mean because they're just factual. I, I, that's the one thing I've changed with him is I will just tell him straight up like I do not want you trying to talk to me. And like he doesn't care. I said he's not like oh, that hurts my feelings.

[Dana]

He's like, okay, offer her sex in exchange for a job. And he, I was joking obviously. And then he says well I can't really get anyone a job here.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a good point. He wasn't morally opposed.

[Dana]

No. He's like that's a good angle man. But hell, I don't really have a higher firing position here.

[Big Cat]

You were uncomfortable the way I was talking about him.

[Kate]

No, it was just so unique and bizarre like that. He's 42 and not a 12 year old in a juvenile detention center.

[Dana]

Just scared straight.

[Big Cat]

He does entertain me. I don't know what else to say.

[Kate]

Me more than anyone but like people are getting mad at us for supporting

[Big Cat]

I'm, I'm over people getting mad about because like people are going to get mad about it.

[Dana]

It is what it is.

[Big Cat]

It is. This whole barstool world is supposed to be crazy whack pack reality. Yes. He's a piece of human being who takes advantage of everything and everyone. I understand that. But he does do stupid that is then entertaining and is like we can't have a bunch of people walking around who are like perfect employees who are straight laced. That would be boring. This is that be boring. This he is the what I want. He is the premier animal at the circus Circus.

[Sam Talon]

He is our.

[Big Cat]

He is our. He is our grizzly bear on a unicycle.

[Tate]

Do you think any part of him brought her around here yesterday? Cuz it caught right away like she was super dressed up and everything. And I, I was like whoa, what is going on here? And do you think he was sitting there waiting for us to bring it up today?

[Titus]

Yeah, that's why he was smiling.

[Sam Talon]

He probably told her like they're going

[Titus]

to talk about you talk about or something.

[Big Cat]

And then here's no, but here's where I'm okay with that because she is revolted by him. She just wants a job here.

[Titus]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

So like that part I don't. So it's like everyone's taking advantage of everyone and then we're taking advantage of Mincy to use it as content. So it's basically something she likes. It's a human caterpillar of just. Yeah, of just everyone's getting their lick but he thought.

[Tate (mentioned)]

He thought we were going to be like, oh, look at this.

[Sam Talon]

You're the man.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Great time to bring her around.

[Tate]

Like, he would have been bummed if it didn't get brought up.

[Sam Talon]

I would bring my mother here at night.

[Nick]

Yeah. I wait till the weekend or like a Saturday night.

[Big Cat]

I just.

[Nick]

Don't his brain make it.

[Sam Talon]

It's infrequent, entertaining.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

It's.

[Dana]

Oh, he's like the guy that Vikings had that was like the simpleton and then would make him eat the berserker mushrooms to like. Because they would.

[Sam Talon]

He does that on his own accord, though.

[Dana]

They would all drink his piss.

[Sam Talon]

That's why we have him.

[Dana]

Yeah. Get the power filtered through him and he drink his piss.

[Sam Talon]

It's exactly like that.

[Big Cat]

What are you going to say, Steven?

[Stephen]

I look at it. He. And I think he's being criticized for this. I don't view him as having the same job as everyone else.

[Big Cat]

No.

[Stephen]

And I think in his. His specific job, not description, but basically his. His roles and responsibilities, he's doing a great job.

[Big Cat]

Correct. Correct. He doesn't. I. And I agree with you, Stephen, that that's the part where people get a little disconnect. He is not the same as everyone else. He is. He's our special boy that has. Just because he doesn't. It's not. If Titus said it, it's like he went on a date at 2:30.

[Nick]

What.

[Big Cat]

What else would he been doing? Nothing.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Stephen]

That's not you being mean. That. That's like.

[Big Cat]

That's facts.

[Stephen]

He'll just be sitting upstairs and, you know, doing radio calls.

[Dana]

He just like bumps around in here. And then you guys give him like $150,000 a year.

[Titus]

That's right.

[Big Cat]

I don't think it's that much. Thank God.

[Dana]

That's his job.

[Titus]

No, this is his job. Doing. Doing what he did today is his job.

[Big Cat]

That was incredible job by him.

[Sam Talon]

He should ask for a raise.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. And he also is one of the only people that like, you can say whatever you want to him and it does not affect him.

[DJ 2]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

So that's a characteristic that a lot of people who get mad about Mincy, like, if they got. Well, no one would act like Mincy, but if they got the. That Mincy got, they would. They would crumble.

[Dana]

No, but he's a steel punching bag.

[Big Cat]

His dude, his. His tweet, anything. It'll be like 50 replies right away. Everyone just being like, kill yourself.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And he does not care.

[Dana]

Dude, he's impregnated my algorithm. More than anyone at once in there.

[Big Cat]

That's the other part.

[Dana]

It's his red face at a buffalo wild wing. It's wor. Working MC ate his keys.

[Big Cat]

That's perfect. That's perfect.

[Tate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

That's how it works.

[Nick]

Today was the best day of work he's had in probably since he went on the trip.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

And he's not a shallow guy.

[Dana]

No. Let's get that boy.

[Tate]

She just can't be over 35.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

I don't.

[Tate (mentioned)]

I don't know how to answer when my parents are like, what's wrong with him?

[Big Cat]

Nothing.

[Dana]

Fetal alcohol syndrome.

[Big Cat]

No, he's like. He's like such a rare, like, benevolent narcissist. Like narcissists usually are. Like serial killers or evil.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Or like billionaires that are, like, squashing, you know, every other small company. He is that guy. But then he doesn't have any motivation to do.

[Sam Talon]

Be.

[Big Cat]

To do anything. He's a pathetic narcissist.

[Sam Talon]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Yeah. That's it.

[Big Cat]

Like, if he made something of his life, he'd be a serial killer. Yeah.

[Tate (mentioned)]

My parents will expect me be like, oh, he's, like, dumb. And then I'm just like, narcissist. Like, wait, what?

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Yeah, I would have thought.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that's. That is his true trait. Because, like, when. When this happens and we. On him, he's just like, well, they're talking about me. That's narcissism. You know, 101 where it's just no

[Dana]

news is bad news.

[Sam Talon]

No, he loved that.

[Big Cat]

He Love.

[Eddie]

Loved that.

[Big Cat]

Loved it.

[Dana]

Even him leaving was like a complex Rube Goldberg situation. He bumped. I spun because he was bumping around. Spun out, couldn't figure out how to get in your chair, so he had

[Tate (mentioned)]

to go to that chair plenty of times, too.

[Big Cat]

Let's hope that he. He holds his end to the bargain and doesn't try to talk to me, because that's really the only. The only downside is when he tries to talk to me off air, and I want to put a bull in my head.

[Tate]

Right before the date, he had cornered me in the kitchen with a great. With an idea for you specifically.

[Big Cat]

Oh, God.

[Tate]

That you will be cornered about.

[Big Cat]

No, I might just be like, we don't talk unless it's on the mic. That might be my new toilet. Yeah. No, tell me.

[Tate]

It has to do with the blind side. That's all I'll tell you.

[Sam Talon]

Huh?

[Big Cat]

What?

[Tate]

Don't worry about it.

[Big Cat]

He knows the. He knows the family.

[Sam Talon]

He wants you to buy him a picture bed What?

[Big Cat]

What is.

[Tate]

I'm just gonna. No, I.

[Big Cat]

No, I need to hear it.

[Tate]

It's some. It's a memorabilia piece.

[Big Cat]

Oh.

[Tate]

Tied to. Tied to the blind side.

[Sam Talon]

Dude from the blind side is the athletic director at UL Monroe now.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Dana]

Viny wants to buy the guy. Let's get him.

[Tate]

That's coming your way, just so you know.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I'm gonna pass. Anytime he comes up with idea, it's a pass. He has to do it naturally, like a date. You know what I mean? And now do you think he'll get another date with this girl?

[Sam Talon]

I don't know.

[Tate]

I don't know.

[Big Cat]

Now she's.

[Titus]

Is this what she wanted?

[Sam Talon]

She was willing to go on one date with dy. Like, where's this at?

[Dana]

She's smart.

[Nick]

She'll play into it.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

She's staying in Fort Lauderdale forever.

[Tate]

Yeah, she seemed very nice.

[Dana]

She was great. She lit up the room.

[Tate]

Yeah, she did.

[Dana]

She was a star. Taken from the sky.

[Big Cat]

But she went on a date with Miny, so. So, like that.

[Mincy]

That is.

[Big Cat]

What do we.

[Sam Talon]

She is a motivated person.

[Dana]

Viny was like, you like Lucy.

[Kate]

That's actually a sign.

[Titus]

That's a sign.

[Kate]

That's somebody you want on at the firm.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, she's like, no different than Dana holding on to a golf cart for 40 hours. Like, that's what going on a date with M Is like. In the face.

[Nick]

You'll eventually get rewarded.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, this. This. This is. This is hell on earth. But there's something at the end, I

[Sam Talon]

think when the photo of her in the PMT studio popped up. I've never had that feeling before.

[Dana]

That was a transgression.

[Big Cat]

Oh, maybe we should do that for an After Dark. Just find, like, the hottest chicks who want a job, and they have to keep their hands on Mincy for the longest.

[Sam Talon]

And he's just smirking the whole.

[Big Cat]

Smiling the whole time.

[Kate]

Green Berets right now.

[Dana]

Touch my head.

[Sam Talon]

Is there any reason to be a good person?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I think there is. I think you sleep better at night. Although Mitzi probably sleeps better than everyone here.

[Dana]

Probably.

[Big Cat]

He probably has zero worries, lowest stress. Yeah, I hate to say I don't

[Tate]

think he's an inherently bad guy.

[Big Cat]

No, that's the thing. Yeah. He's a benevolent narcissist.

[Dana]

He's a classic bumbling simpleton. Yeah, it's a great trope.

[Big Cat]

I like the guy, but he's got schemes, too.

[Tate]

So he's a poker guy's calculating sometimes.

[Dana]

Well, he went to Ole Miss, right?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, for, like, 15 years.

[Dana]

They don't let anyone in there.

[Big Cat]

Oh, man.

[Eddie]

All right.

[Dana]

Probably has a booth at Proud Larry's in Oxford. Probably. Yeah.

[Nick]

What a show.

[Big Cat]

All right, so next week we got the replays. Sam, Shout out one more time.

[Dana]

Rosemont this weekend.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[Dana]

Then Madison Comedy on State, Grand Rapids, Austin. Samtalent.com. you can pre order my new novel, Brute. It's about a hitman in Paris doing one last job.

[Sam Talon]

I've done it. The hardback.

[Dana]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Dana]

Well, I'm going to leave this one here like I said, so you can read it right now.

[Sam Talon]

Can't wait.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. So we'll hopefully see you back when you're.

[DJ 2]

When your book goes.

[Dana]

I think September 22nd. I'm gonna do that day in Chicago. That's the day it comes out. So I'll come back. Maybe Mincy will have some new sweet piece of ass he's tricked into blowing him.

[Big Cat]

And I guess the only thing I'd leave everyone with is like, if you're gonna. If you're gonna go on Twitter, in the comments section, wherever you want to go to complain about Mincy or soft on crime, guess what? Nothing's changing. So you're wasting in your breath.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Use it for something else.

[Dana]

He's.

[Big Cat]

He's.

[Nick]

He's unbreakable.

[Titus]

Can't quit him. Cannot quit him.

[Tate (mentioned)]

Do we think that she thought it was a date or is she like, this is just like a business meeting?

[Big Cat]

Ah, that's a good question.

[Nick]

Yeah, we should get her on.

[Tate]

Cuz from then if a guy was

[Dana]

like, reply back if you want.

[Tate]

Hey, do you want to come back to my job with me?

[DJ 2]

The arm, the state be like the arm on top.

[Nick]

Makes it look like a friend. A friend zone.

[Titus]

Who took the picture?

[Dana]

Yeah, she looks like his nurse took Mincy out for pizza. It's his favorite. He says it's like cake with sausage on it.

[Big Cat]

Oh, man.

[Dana]

I don't know the guy. I could. I should quit being mean to him.

[Big Cat]

No, no, you.

[Dana]

No, no, no. I think that you guys know exactly what you doing and it's nothing but dollar signs. Moving on.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, I mean, the fact that you did.

[Dana]

Until the allegations surface, he's in your.

[Big Cat]

He's in your algorithm eating his own keys. Like, that's exactly what we're looking at.

[Dana]

Yeah, it's like Miny thought the toilet was a hat and now he's stuck.

[Big Cat]

I do think there are people who have like, found out about barstool through Mincy clips.

[Dana]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Big Cat]

And then like, what is this? How is this person alive? Employed.

[Dana]

He's a lol.

[Big Cat]

And then they just come in and they're like, oh, there's more stuff. Stuff here.

[Tate]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

So I should have said that because he's gonna.

[Nick]

He's gonna love that.

[Dana]

He's gonna eat that up. I think he's a puppeteer. And you guys are all attached to string.

[Big Cat]

There's definitely part of that. There's definitely that.

[Kate]

He's floating down the street to the market, reveling in the fact that he's entangled in a romantic web with a beautiful vixen.

[Dana]

His feet aren't touching the ground as he floats.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[Sam Talon]

Until he gets trapped by a box propped up by a stick.

[Dana]

Right? Yeah. Cuz there was a hot pocket in there. It was actually just a photograph of a hot pocket.

[Sam Talon]

Oh, the amount of painted on tunnels he has to run into.

[Big Cat]

Oh. All right, let's spin the wheel.

[Sam Talon]

Tj, you stick around after this. Eddie and Brandon's vlog at that arcade. It's going to.

[Big Cat]

Oh, nice. Nice. Awesome. Please, everyone do that.

[Sam Talon]

And then watch the. The ax next week.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dana]

Oh.

[Big Cat]

All right. So next week Yak will be live playing replays for the entire week. So hop in the chat.

[Dana]

So not live.

[Big Cat]

Enjoy it.

[Dana]

So the opposite of live.

[Big Cat]

The show will be live during. It will not be. It'll be a pre recorded show from our history. But it. You can act like it's live.
