What?
Nick
Whoa.
Dan
Nick. Hold on, hold on. You don't think that. You don't think there's A lot going on. What if Odyssey.
Brandon
We're talking Odyssey today, in a way.
Dan
What if.
Nick
What if we didn't talk about one of the topics?
Dan
I actually don't know which one you're talking about because you kind of hate both of them.
Nick
What if. What if we didn't talk about sending somebody to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, for talking about your girl's third floor complete dud of. For what? Everybody. What I said was going to happen. What if we just didn't talk about it and the venue was too small? What if we didn't provide oxygen to the Paradise?
Brandon
No venue's too small for head they.
Dan
Dude, the venue was too small. They tried to do Lollapalooza in the Chicago theater.
Kate
He never had a shot.
Dan
It ain't gonna happen. Or, or, or
Nick
he was. He's unsucked because he was never sucked. And you guys let him play a sucked character, and it turns out he's not sucked.
Brandon
Okay, I feel like we can wash our hands with that one. Done.
Nick
Done.
Dan
Okay, what about the fact Done gets a haircut every 10 days to do
Brandon
the before and after.
Dan
Is that before?
Rico
There he is.
Dan
All he did was just sit up.
Gaz
We can't let this go.
Dan
Dude. Sit up.
Brandon
T.J. show me the left again.
Haley
Was the shoes thing.
Brandon
He looks like. Yeah, he looks horrible.
Dan
Yeah.
Mark
Yeah.
Dan
Gross, dude. Oh, new man.
Nick
New man.
Gaz
Better post.
Brandon
We just need the same picture, but one's black and white.
Dan
Did you see someone? I, I can't remember who did it, but they, they took the clip and they counted. He brushed his hair, like, 150 times.
Nick
184.
Dan
184. Sounds like you're interesting.
Nick
Well, I, I, I follow. Very hot soup. He knows what he's doing.
Dan
Got it. Yeah. I think that's, what, 184 times to brush that hair?
Brandon
Is that like. Is that what Marsha Brady did?
Haley
Yes.
Brandon
Is that where you.
Dan
I was like that clip of LeBron. Remember when he was just brushing his hair and he just has no hair.
Nick
Brushing skin.
Stephen
Here it is.
Gaz
Is this after the haircut?
Dan
Yeah, this is after the haircut. There ain't anything there.
Brandon
What's changing?
Nick
Nothing.
Brandon
Is he maybe trying to get stray hairs out? Good God.
Dan
Tate without a hat also always just shocks me.
Kate
What is that outfit Tate's wearing? What is he called? Like, what, what goes through his head when he's. It feels like he was trying to, like, dress up.
Dan
Yeah.
Kate
Came up with. He's like, this is going to be a nice event. So I should.
Gaz
Ohio formal sports rider gear banquet ass
Dan
Ohio suburban dad who can't quite get his dick hard.
Brandon
Yeah, that's.
Nick
Yeah, that's
Brandon
when he dressed like that, I'm like, yeah, you were a teacher for 10 years.
Dan
Yeah. Jesus Christ.
Brandon
95. Okay.
Gaz
But, like, look.
Brandon
Look at the focus on his face too.
Nick
That brow is furrowed.
Dan
Can we at least talk to Tate?
Nick
Yeah, so do whatever you want.
Dan
I mean, listen, I agree. Like, that party looked. I. We said it on the group chat. We were discussing it on Saturday, that I was shocked with how small tiny Mykonos is.
Brandon
I mean, they call it tiny Mykonos.
Dan
Yeah. But still, it was insane. It was so small. We also should give Rico a victory lap.
Brandon
Yeah.
Gaz
Were there any wins? Like, there. There were Latinas there.
Brandon
That's huge.
Gaz
So, like, that requires some, like, tactical skill to even acquire them, right? Yeah. He lauded for that.
Dan
Yeah.
Gaz
Oh, yeah. Yeah. It wasn't a flop.
Brandon
Every party I've ever thrown is an open door policy for Latinas. Never has happened.
Kate
Never happened. No.
Gaz
Never once I've ever achieved that.
Brandon
Right. That's big. The robot robots.
Gaz
That was pretty cool.
Haley
Dancing robot, Right. In Lancaster. I was a little surprised.
Gaz
Right?
Nick
Yeah.
Brandon
They don't like tech there.
Haley
Yeah. I didn't think that was.
Gaz
I mean, that's kind of sick.
Dan
Yeah, that was sick. The moment where Nadeau had to change his. His jumpsuits because he said he looks like a painter.
Haley
Yes.
Dan
And they changed to a different jumpsuit. He's like, oh, that's it.
Gaz
Yeah.
Brandon
This one looked ridiculous.
Dan
Like, these momentary glimpses of him, like, almost getting it, like. Nah, it's all just. It's very funny fodder.
Jeff Nadu
Mm.
Dan
You don't think so?
Brandon
I think you're a good pinata.
Dan
The pinata was great. Him playing Minecraft at the bar, I
Haley
fell for that one. I thought that was real.
Dan
What are you talking about? The pinata was real?
Jeff Nadu
Yeah.
Dan
This is him playing. Playing his Nintendo Switch. The Scar bar.
Nick
I guess if any piece of content brings out Sintel, then we're. It's good.
Stephen
Yeah.
Dan
I mean, listen, the party sucked the, like back, and for, like, Tate documenting it, I was interested. I mean, there was just the. The house tour. Nadu lives in a house that, like. I think he's so deep into being, like, mafia adjacent that he's like, I can't get a lot of furniture in case the feds show up. I mean, like, I got to get out of here.
Gaz
Minimalistic.
Dan
Yeah. Yeah, he's a minimalistic king.
Haley
I liked the big spoon, fork, and knife on his kitchen.
Kate
Yeah, that's I just. I don't know.
Brandon
I don't see him hanging that.
Kate
I don't see him hanging that either.
Dan
What?
Brandon
I don't see him purchasing that or buying.
Kate
More questions than answers. When I saw his place, I thought
Haley
the house came pre furnished.
Dan
That one cord, that was a brutal cord.
Kate
Yeah.
Brandon
Kind of look like an Airbnb kind of. Just a lack of furniture. I'm not saying it is, but.
Dan
Oh, it's interesting.
Kate
But there was the picture of him and his sister though, so how could that true?
Stephen
Yeah.
Dan
No, I'm not saying it is.
Gaz
How could he get. How could not forget Airbnb wouldn't have that.
Kate
For that to be the case, Danny, he would have had to taken that picture to the Airbnb and staged it to make it look like.
Gaz
I would love to believe that he staged this entire thing, but then he just seated head.
Dan
Yeah. Take it in here so easily. Also, Tate being in the middle of a like a. A really like intense Latina fight in the back of a car at 2 in the morning in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Kate
See, this is how Tate dresses. This is the tape.
Nick
Right.
Kate
Know and love.
Dan
Right?
Tate
What I mean.
Kate
But then you, when you take off your wearing your outfit was like, yeah. Oh, this is a. This is a formal party. So I need to dress up, do
Tate
these like trips or whatever and I, I want to wear something comfortable. So I always. But if we ever like go out, I just put on like a Roebuck polo and it's like. Yeah, like I'm not. I can't just show up in like a browns T shirt to Yorgos. But also I'm not. I don't care if anyone thinks I look good there. So I just throw on like comfortable. I look like I wear my teacher stuff.
Kate
It is stuff.
Dan
Oh yeah, look at you.
Tate
That was me at your ghost.
Brandon
That looks more like student.
Tate
Yeah.
Dan
There's something about you. Not without. Without hat. You like tra.
Gaz
It's like that.
Dan
Is that Ohio?
Gaz
You're going to Blossom Music Festival?
Tate
I mean that's a seventh grade English teacher.
Nick
21 Jump street posing as a child.
Dan
I'm with you, Tate, though.
Stan
I'm out on.
Dan
I'm out on fashion shaming. You looked fine.
Tate
Thank you, Danny.
Dan
It's not fat.
Nick
Wasn't shaving, by the way, when they were doing it. You didn't say anything.
Dan
I also want to clear. It's not fashion shaming. It's more that like it's. He just looks like a totally different person.
Kate
Yeah.
Dan
So it's not. Has nothing to do with the shirt. It's good shirt. I think it's just the hat that when you take off your hat, I'm like, who is this?
Mark
Yeah.
Mincy
Yeah.
Kate
And it's the mindset I know that you have as you're getting ready, you're like, I gotta get dressed up.
Tate
No, that's not.
Dan
I gotta put on my best. Yeah.
Nick
I thought you were just going for, like, sportswriter dressed up.
Tate
No, I definitely just try and look
Nick
comfortable, what a sports writer looks like when they dress up.
Tate
Yeah, that was my life.
Mincy
Yeah.
Dan
He's not even a sports writer, though, in that he's like an intern.
Nick
Well, he's a journalist, though.
Dan
Yeah.
Nick
Undercover. Yeah.
Kate
All right, tape.
Tate
What's up, guys?
Nick
To which. To which I said before we dive into this, and I know we're going to dive into it. Tate, because of his hard work, has blossomed into a weapon. He is a weapon of journalistic integrity.
Dan
Yeah.
Nick
We. We put him on the scene, shit's gonna pop off, right? Like, maybe we wasted Tate on Jeff Nadu. That's all I'm saying.
Dan
Oh, I don't know. I still thought there were some funny moments.
Kate
I did too. I was people. I. Yeah, just because I never went
Dan
into this weekend being like, tate's about to document the greatest party that's ever been taken place.
Nick
Well, y' all gotta understand. The boys getting married soon. We only have a few. We only have select amount of weekends left, because as soon as they get married, she's going to put the end of this.
Tate
Big assignments only.
Nick
This shit's over.
Tate
Like Chef Don reunion.
Dan
Tate's committed to the job.
Tate
Facts.
Rico
You're right.
Dan
I think I give up weekends.
Nick
You do?
Mark
Yeah.
Dan
41. What I'm saying. You don't.
Nick
You don't give it up to go watch Jeff Nadu get haircuts.
Dan
But I do stuff that I would rather not do.
Kate
I think you actually like it. Yeah.
Tate
The assignments are my favorite part. It's come back. It's like we did an overnight stream, then we come back, then we have another. It's a lot.
Dan
Yeah.
Tate
But I love the document. It's my favorite thing.
Brandon
Did the Latinas know Jeff's name? Do they walk in and go, Jeff and, like, kiss him?
Tate
We. How do I want to say this?
Brandon
Were the Latinas.
Nick
You just say yes or no?
Tate
They. Here's my thing. I was going to come. I was going to come in.
Nick
Just say yes or no.
Tate
They knew who Jeff was.
Nick
Yes.
Tate
They called him Jeff.
Gaz
Did he pull you aside and make you promise not to talk about anything?
Tate
There Were a here.
Nick
Yeah.
Tate
My official stance is this. I was going to come in today and say. And he was. He was very nice to me. He was very welcoming. Took me into his home, introduced me to his family.
Kate
Was that.
Tate
Showed me his.
Kate
It was. He showed you his.
Tate
Yeah, he showed me it. Showed me what, Eddie? His big dick.
Kate
What did it?
Tate
Oh, he showed me his blow job. Pick the pick.
Dan
Oh, yeah.
Tate
He showed me a blowjob pic. That's cool. But I was
Nick
all right.
Tate
So, like, I thought. I thought the graphic.
Kate
Okay.
Tate
I thought that I was going to come in and be like, Jeff, it was great. You guys saw what happened. Yes. I thought there was a lot of entertaining content. The haircut and the shoes. And then it was an absolute swing and miss at Yorgos. That. But now I'm seeing him on Spaces today and he's saying the reason the party stunk is cuz I was there and I was withholding footage.
Mark
Whoa.
Tate
And I was withholding footage that made him look good. He texted me, he's like, why didn't you post everything?
Dan
So is there stuff that you need to post?
Tate
Hey, let me tell you this, Jeff. If there were things, if I posted everything, you would not look good today. You're saying I withheld. He's like, you interviewed my barber? Yeah. The first words out of your barber's mouth is like, I'm not an interesting guy. I didn't withhold anything to make him look bad, but I did withhold things that would have made him look really bad. And I don't like the narrative coming out of this phone call that I recorded.
Dan
Yeah, no, I agree with you there.
Tate
I called you. I was pissed.
Dan
Called me. I somehow got wrapped up in this. Then I had to text Jeff and he was like, what do I do? I was like, dude, you gotta. You gotta let him fucking do his job. We talked about it on the act. We said everything is gonna be fair game. If you don't want it to be fair game, don't have him come. We easily will have Tate not come, but once he comes, it's like, that's it. That's the deal.
Tate
Can I tell my side of the story?
Gaz
Yeah.
Tate
So are you guys familiar that the. The party got or. I called off the documenting for about three hours.
Mark
Yes.
Tate
I left his house, I called Dan and I was like, dan, I'm asking for your permission here, but, like, I want to go home. Like, this is. This is no longer unbiased. So DJ Matt, the Trap King, posted a promo video on his Instagram story. And he was like, yo, like Jeff personally invited me. We're at Yorgos tonight, third floor. It's gonna be like a movie. It's gonna be bumping, but the line's gonna be crazy. So don't call me and be like, DJ Matt, can you get me in there? Especially if Tone's being a at the door.
Dan
Because Tone could sometimes be like that.
Tate
They are. Yeah, they're strict. So to me that means like if Tone's being a hard ass at the door. Not like Tone is a. Well, Tone saw that promo and called Jeff because he thought DJ Matt called him a. Oh, and his own bar. Tone. Tone owns the bar.
Dan
Yeah. Yeah.
Tate
So Jeff, first of all, Jeff sent me an Annika.
Jeff Nadu
Like the.
Tate
I just don't like the idea that like I was secretly or I was recording this anonymously. And it was like a fellow. Jeff takes the phone call and he's like, basically like record this. He's like, tones calling. Tone's calling, right? Showing me the phone, walking around. I think the video made Jeff look bad.
Dan
And it wasn't on speaker, right?
Rico
But.
Tate
But he was showing like.
Dan
But he said he texted me. He's like, it wasn't even on speaker. I'm like, so then why can't we post it? It's just you talking into a phone.
Tate
I think my hunch is this. And this is where I'm like, jeff, if you're gonna say I ruined your party, I'm gonna give more of my side of the story.
Mincy
And.
Tate
And it is. Tone was going to. Tone said DJ Matt can't be here anymore. And so I'm like, dude, as funny
Gaz
as like DJ Matt, because DJ Matt, did he call?
Tate
He said that Tone was a being a.
Gaz
But he called him a. Like Phil Jackson called momentum a. Like it's out of praise.
Tate
No one understood that.
Kate
But respect.
Tate
Like, he was just like, he's being a hard ass at the door. So anyways, he's like, I think Jeff was nervous that. That at first it was funny. And then Tone was freaking out being like, no, no, he's not your dj. And Jeff realized the party is in
Brandon
danger cuz it would just be Silk.
Dan
Yeah.
Tate
And we were promised Matt and Silk, so our disagreement. He's going to say that it was like personal conversation. I think it was. He was pacing around the room, realizing his party was in jeopardy. And he was now pleading with Tone to allow DJ Matt to still work there. And I'm like, dude, the best part of this is not going to be your haircut. It's going to be you either losing your dj, the party getting canceled. You have to smooth it all out. You calling DJ Matt and he's like, well, no, that was a personal conversation. And I just, I very much disagree that personal info was shown. I really think.
Dan
Yeah, it just.
Tate
The party was in jeopardy and he wanted the party to look good.
Dan
Does this make you like Mincey more?
Mincy
Yeah.
Dan
Oh, man, that's brutal. Sorry.
Tate
Yeah, just because here's the thing. Like, it, it really. I was gone, I was out. And then what actually happened was legal. Paul messaged me and he was like. Because I told Dan, I was like, dude, if I can't post this phone call, it would have been the story of the weekend that the party think of. This was Ben Mintz and his entire party collapsed because the owner was mad at DJ Silk. And then he had to call DJ Silk and then he had to do a three way, like negotiation. Like, he didn't mean. I'm like, dude, this has to be documented. We wouldn't have let mints fly like that. So I went back to my hotel and I'm like, unless I can post this, I'm not doing it legal. Paul messaged me that Pennsylvania is one of 20% of states that if I did post it, it is a felony.
Nick
But not if you couldn't hear the guy. Right?
Haley
Speaker.
Tate
That's where I'm saying. Because one, he wasn't on speaker but Nadu saying like filming him. He was showing me his phone and letting me listen in. So it's like, dude, don't say I was filming.
Kate
What damage would you have posting and have done? Like, if it was the party was in danger, but the party was already in danger is what I'm saying. Like, he already like Tone and Tone and tj, Matt, trap king. They are the trap king and Tone.
Gaz
Yeah.
Kate
Were already at odds.
Tate
Correct. And he.
Kate
Whether you post the video or not, they're already. They got to hash that out. I actually think that would have helped the party because it would have set the bar extremely low. All the chatter would have been like, this party's gonna suck. It' to happen. And then when the dude walks in and you post the video that the party did happen, that would have been a moment and instead the opposite, you know?
Nick
Yeah.
Kate
Typed it up so high.
Dan
I totally floor Yorgos for third floor.
Tate
Now that was a movie.
Dan
It was very funny seeing like random people tweet being like, why am I seeing all this about third floor?
Kate
As a guy who is.
Gaz
People can't avoid it.
Dan
Yeah.
Kate
I. I've been team suck the whole time, you know, and it was a tough, tough. It was a tough day for. I did sit my daughter down and explain to her Jeff Nadu was in fact not sucked at his big dick.
Brandon
Consolation. Feels good.
Kate
It feels good. Yeah. That's a small win for us. I knew we were in trouble. Those of us on team sucked. When you just did your walkthrough of the third floor and no one was there yet.
Dan
It was time.
Tate
Small. I couldn't believe it.
Dan
So small.
Tate
When I did a walk through during the day. This is crazy.
Dan
What was the ratio at the party?
Tate
A lot of dudes there, but he. He'll say this. I'll give him credit. He said he only knew 5% of the people there.
Nick
Oh.
Tate
He was like, my crew was on the vip and then the people there were just like, the people they just
Dan
wanted to be part of.
Gaz
What was he thinking or expecting to happen, though? Were there circumstantial woes that threw a wrench in one of his master plans to have a banger? What happened?
Tate
I think. And listen, I'll just call it like it is. He definitely wanted to roll out the red carpet and be. And get all the good stuff. And then everyone be like, damn, he threw a banger. He had a driver pick him up. He had. He got his hair cut. He got his dick sucked the problem. And so, yeah, he did. He picked us up in a Mercedes. It was really nice. His apartment was really clean. A lot of things were going really well. We even the cigar bar was. I think it's like 600ft from Yorgos. And had a driver pick us up. And it's like, he wants this red carpet roll. And all of it was like, all right, this is a lot. This lot. His mom called him in the middle of it to thank him for flowers for her birthday coming up. Like, everything was like, is this scripted? Is it not? Is it scripted? Is it not until the very end when I'm sitting there while the big booty Latinas are arguing and the one girl's like, why the Are we even in Lancaster? Like, what are we doing here now? I'm like, no.
Kate
Oh, no.
Gaz
Where were they? Imported bro Jersey.
Tate
He got him a hotel. Oh, 775.
Kate
When did you notice? Was it when Tone and again. DJ Matt.
Gaz
God.
Kate
Was it when they were fighting? What was the moment that you felt like Jeff was sensing things were not going right? Yeah, I think that was a little unraveling here.
Tate
That was the first sign of it where it was like, hey, that's too personal of a phone call. It can't go out. And I'm like, dude, I don't think it was a personal phone call. I think it was, like, the first sign of, like, this party might not be a. A banger. And I still. I'm still like, yeah, he was entertaining, but until the very end, he was talking to one of the girls. One of the girls that he picked up. She didn't meet us until your goes. He was talking to her, and then she didn't really give him much attention throughout the night. She was talking to someone else.
Brandon
Oh, and he's been working on this
Tate
one for a while, for sure.
Dan
Brutal.
Tate
So that's when he left. He's like, oh, things didn't go how I wanted.
Brandon
I felt a tin. Like a tiny little spark of sadness when I saw him party.
Nick
Yeah, right.
Jeff Nadu
Yeah.
Dan
But he was like, it's just not
Gaz
how I respected that so much, though, because, like, I feel like a fraudulent top getter would at least try to stage that he got head and lie about it.
Tate
Yeah, I felt bad, and I do feel bad. He was. He had been talking to the girl. He brought her in, she brought her friends. It didn't work out. He left.
Dan
I think if he went with the baby blue tracksuit, he might have gotten sucked.
Tate
Looked like a painter.
Brandon
He did look like a painter.
Kate
Did you talk to the girl at all?
Tate
I. I didn't really talk much to the girls. I talked like. That's what I'm saying. Like, I talked to the driver. It was just me and the driver. On the way home. I was like, so do you drive for Jeff often? He's like, no, I just met him this the first time. It's like, yeah, now all of this is starting to not look good. If he would have got sucked, I think he would have looked awesome.
Kate
Awesome, dude.
Dan
Brandon would have had to bow down.
Mincy
Yeah.
Brandon
It's tough to look uncool if you get sucked, though. Like, everybody's cool.
Tate
Getting sucked for sure.
Nick
Can you imagine if he'd gotten sucked?
Dan
It would have been all time and again, like, all of us got.
Tate
Jeff, I'm sure you're watching this. The reason I'm saying this is because I was. Everything was cordial, and then I just. McCarthy sent me your spaces. You're saying that I was the reason the party was lame and that I didn't post the good clips of you? Dude, I got clips of you that you do not want to go out there. And I was. I did have a heart it didn't look good that you got unsucked.
Dan
Damn.
Kate
Do you think. I mean, you are publicly broadcasting a party. Do you think maybe there's an alternate world, stupid. Maybe your presence in the. With the backpack on and the hair parted over and everything.
Mark
Yeah. Do you?
Dan
Yeah.
Kate
Or a buzzkill.
Dan
You're like in Rain Delay.
Kate
Yeah.
Haley
Cuz Anaka said she had a great time. Anaka was like, that was fun.
Nick
Yeah.
Tate
So good. She left after an hour.
Brandon
I mean,
Tate
I don't like being told that I was the re. Like I was there to do him a solid and I was giving him a good edit.
Brandon
I feel like none of us could get sucked. No offense and nothing to you with you around.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
Like if everybody knew I was going to get sucked, I would never get sucked.
Dan
You'd be like, I'd like to suck you, but you're your third grade teacher.
Brandon
Yeah.
Tate
11:53. What time did Jeff say we got there? 11:11.
Gaz
Oh no.
Dan
Oh no. That guy.
Brandon
That's a.
Gaz
That's a guy who is very close. That is the face of a man.
Dan
Happy man.
Brandon
Oh my God.
Gaz
You can feel the tingle on his car.
Brandon
There is very few times do I smile like that.
Haley
Sorry. Did he like leave the VIP area to mingle and mix with people at all or like that narrows your chances against.
Gaz
Right.
Tate
Yeah, it ultimately, Kate, what happened? No, he sat behind the. There was a rope and people would come over do. And then he had a bottle of tequila and he'd be like, shot, shot. And he'd give him one. They'd take it and then he would stay there. He definitely like 100 fact invited that girl thinking that that girl and her friends was going to make it look good. But then when she was his like only number one fish in the pond and wasn't interested, that's where it's like, well, you're not talking to anyone else.
Haley
Yeah.
Stan
You're not.
Tate
You don't have any other girls here. You don't know the people out there. So that's when he decided to leave.
Brandon
Was she imported as well or homegrown?
Tate
They're from Jersey.
Brandon
Okay.
Tate
I know he got him the hotel. He told me. And Anaka was like. Because Anaka was talking about her hotel price, he's like, yeah, I had to pay 775 for these girls to come from Jersey.
Mark
Wow.
Brandon
Tell you how he knows.
Gaz
707.
Tate
There's three girls, so maybe they got multiple rooms and.
Kate
But he had his eye on one of them because I'm fascinated by one. How he could do this to himself. Why?
Rico
Yeah.
Kate
Why put himself in this position?
Dan
Yeah.
Kate
If. If he doesn't like, he.
Gaz
I'm with you.
Kate
He very obviously had a plan.
Tate
Yes.
Gaz
Right.
Kate
So he's like, I know that people think I'm a fraud, and even if I am a fraud, I'm gonna execute this plan and people will walk away thinking I'm the man.
Gaz
Right.
Dan
You have it set up.
Kate
So what was the. The plan was that that girl. There was one girl in particular. It wasn't like, I'm gonna go to the party, we're gonna see how it goes, and maybe I can convince one of these girls it was he. Your assignment, whatever her name was, is to look like you're gonna suck me.
Rico
Right.
Kate
That's what we believe.
Dan
It's basically like you have. You have one chance to just set it up so it looks like there's a sucking.
Brandon
But what happened? Wouldn't like a tried and true liar like that have a contingency?
Tate
That's what I'm saying.
Kate
That's why.
Stan
Yeah.
Gaz
We're all. We're all. Yeah.
Tate
That's where. So that's my big thing. Like, even throughout the day, when we went to go get his new shoes, it's like, oh, he gets him every 10 days. He facetimes her. He shows her the women's shoes. He buys her a pair of shoes. So I think the whole thing was roll out the red carpet, show this great car. I have this nice clean apartment, how I get new shoes every 10 days, how I get a haircut. And everything added up until the one girl that he brought to suck had no interest in the suck.
Mincy
Right.
Tate
And not even really didn't talk to him at the party. And then it's like, wait, was everything the whole time?
Nick
Yeah.
Kate
Has she ever sucked him before?
Tate
He had been talking to her for a while, but.
Kate
But yet. That's so risky, dude.
Brandon
Yes. To get a big gamble. Is it risky if you're talking to a girl for a while, she's coming out to visit you on your birthday?
Kate
That's true.
Nick
Maybe.
Haley
Yeah.
Kate
It's a great point.
Gaz
Kind of. You have some hope.
Tate
Yeah.
Dan
Do you ever think about offering?
Stan
No.
Dan
I was just as like a team guy, you know, and everyone's gonna.
Tate
Nadu's gonna be mad. And they do. I. I said, I saw.
Dan
I've offered him.
Tate
It's. Dude's got big dick.
Brandon
I would trade away people believing that I get sucked for saying that I have a big dick.
Gaz
Amazing takeaway.
Stephen
Yes.
Dan
Absolutely.
Brandon
Fair trade.
Kate
And he has. And You. You saw proof that he has been sucked before.
Tate
Still image. Yeah, still image.
Kate
But you would. If. If the question is, has he ever been sucked in his life? You would say, yes.
Stephen
Yes.
Tate
I would better confidently say, okay.
Nick
Okay.
Haley
Circling back to the house, besides a picture of him with his mom, was there any other things that was like, this guy definitely lives here.
Brandon
He.
Haley
Sorry. I feel badass.
Tate
He lives there.
Kate
I'll say this.
Tate
He 100 lives there.
Haley
Okay.
Tate
It was also spotlessly clean.
Brandon
Guest book in the front.
Tate
Yeah.
Dan
Multiple rooms.
Rico
Yeah.
Kate
He hung the knife and fork. We think he did that himself.
Dan
Yeah.
Tate
I don't know if I was to say a follow up and I.
Brandon
Did he make sure you were out by like, 10:30? What time did you leave the house
Tate
on the last night?
Haley
Oh, no.
Tate
You didn't stay there, dropped him off and left.
Kate
Yeah.
Tate
The big. What was I about to say? I'm sorry. Oh, the. The follow up has to be this. And I. People are hating on him. He did get unsucked, and it does poke a lot of holes in the story. There has to be a follow up where he and like a Nicky smokes or whoever have some sort of broad off.
Dan
Yeah.
Tate
Because he got.
Dan
Have a broad off.
Tate
He did. 0.0.0 games.
Dan
Yeah. We got to have a. He showed Brandy the second broad off.
Nick
Hasn't he already had a broad off?
Tate
Did he have a broad off and then.
Nick
And then Rick, who wasn't in the. Brought off, walked away with this girl.
Tate
I didn't know that before.
Dan
Rick working for.
Gaz
He lost
Kate
my boy, Rick Barton.
Tate
I didn't know that.
Dan
Yeah.
Kate
He bought a ticket. Bartman.
Tate
He put all his eggs.
Brandon
Fan interference.
Dan
He had a half court shot for a million dollars.
Tate
He did. He put all his eggs into one basket and then struck out with that and left. So it's like, does he have game? I can't confirm he did. He thought buying the shoes and getting the hotel and bringing the girl in was showing that he had game.
Nick
Okay.
Brandon
Was this the girl that was photographed?
Gaz
Like.
Tate
No.
Brandon
Okay.
Tate
Oh, wait, I'm sorry.
Brandon
The. The one he was standing next to in the entrance. Yes, that was her. Okay.
Dan
All right, let me do an ad real quick. And then we got someone on. If you're watching the game, working late, or just too lazy to cook on a given night, there's only one call to make. Pardon my cheesesteak. We're talking thinly sliced steak, melted provolone, mouthwatering cheese sauce, all loaded up on a perfectly toasted hoagie roll. This is a legit Heavy hitter cheesesteak.

Rico
No, nothing. Stretching.
Jeff Nadu
What's up?
Nick
Stretching.
Brandon
Stretching your face.
Kate
You stretch everything.
Dan
I don't know how you. How you feeling, Rico?
Rico
Yeah, I mean, it's the same thing I've been saying for years. He lies like a rugby. I don't know why anyone's shocked. Like, Brandon knew it. Brandon. As much as Brandon hates me, which we don't know why, but yo.
Nick
Yeah, so that's a mystery.
Rico
Okay.
Brandon
Are you.
Dan
Are you bummed?
Brandon
Are you bummed out that he has a big dick?
Rico
I don't know. If you're not going to use it, it's kind of like having a nice garage.
Mincy
Right.
Nick
It's just like that.
Dan
What. So what was going through your head during the day? Because there were some moments that, like, it looked like a funny day.
Rico
I was worried about Noah Khan canceled on us. But, you know, things cross your desk. All the good ones. Scalp tape. So I saw some of the highlights. Low lights, I should say, but, you know. Yeah, it doesn't surprise me.
Dan
Okay, so big win for the Riders. Writers feel good.
Rico
No. I would just say it sheds light to the rest of the world who had any doubts.
Dan
Right, Right.
Kate
Not the demeanor I was expecting from Boston.
Nick
Also, I will point out you do have to do a podcast with this guy within about a month. Right, Right. Are you prepared?
Rico
Why wouldn't I be?
Nick
I don't know.
Rico
I just asked.
Dan
This is just test.
Rico
That's tickle me behavior, Brandon.
Dan
Tickle me what?
Brandon
You're right, Bosco. I agree. I agree.
Gaz
Spot on.
Nick
It's a. It's a standard question that you guys are still beefing and battling and all this and you gotta work together in a month.
Rico
Yeah, it was a big bet. Yeah. There's a lot of money on the table.
Dan
Are you going to be doing the show in Chicago?
Rico
Yeah. I don't know where that came from,
Dan
but I'd like to live audience. Well, that's. We could do a live audience.
Kate
Live audience would be awesome.
Dan
We could sell tickets a barstool people.
Nick
Or.
Dan
No, I'll sell tickets to A live audience and let you share in the profits.
Nick
A lot of witnesses, I think he said.
Tate
First two confirmed in Chicago. And he's debating between walking in and just clocking Bosco in the first one. And then being like, I'm done or forcing him to do it and collecting the paycheck.
Brandon
There has to be a security guard present, right?
Dan
Yeah, of course.
Nick
He's not clocking Bosco.
Dan
No, no, I will. You got to worry about a guy
Rico
who knows how to manufacture or manipulate time clocks. You do have to worry about that.
Dan
Oh my God, I forgot about that. That was one of the funniest things ever.
Tate
That was one. And what are we talking.
Brandon
What is this?
Dan
You guys didn't see this, but Nadu said that he got fired from his previous job because he started his time clock when he left his house. And his boss was like, that doesn't count. So boss, like, he was supposed to like, work from like 8:30 to 2. And his boss was like, what. What time do you like, get in every day? And he's like, well, I leave my house at 8:30. He's like, but that's not part of any in workload.
Gaz
Asleep.
Tate
Yeah.
Nick
He clocked out when he got home, right?
Dan
Clocked out when he got home.
Brandon
Oh my God. You should be what the job was, right?
Gaz
Yeah.
Nick
Yeah.
Dan
And also he had pretty standard 9 to 5.
Tate
Just before. Just before we had our like, argument and the tone call, he told another story about how him and his buddies used to commit fraud with like cell phones and steal money in that way. And that didn't go up because, like, I'm telling you, there. There were things that he said where it's like, all right, dude, I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna put. So I'm still mad that he's saying that I gave him a bad.
Kate
So the, the.
Gaz
The damning confidential archival footage you have, is it embarrassing or is it just like him?
Tate
I'm interested to see what his reaction to this response is, and then I'll answer that question.
Gaz
Okay.
Brandon
Rico, do you think you could throw a better party at the third floor of your ghosts?
Dan
Good question. I don't know.
Rico
I don't know. I don't know any 37 year olds that throw their own birthdays, but I would imagine so. I mean, it's. With 26 people I saw in there,
Tate
like eight of them knew them.
Rico
Yeah, I might be able to get eight people I know.
Dan
Oh, Rider convention.
Kate
Rider takeover.
Gaz
Bash banger off.
Kate
I'm happy for you, Bosco. Yeah, huge win. You don't seem happy for yourself. And that's all right. You. You seem to.
Brandon
It almost seems like there's been a weight lifted, though. Pure vindication.
Rico
Yeah, I. I've been. I mean, listen, it's. It's not all my own credit like, you know, Rip to Barry did, but this is.
Nick
It's all true.
Dan
Like, this is all true. So you got to think about Barry. In moments like this. He would.
Nick
Yorgo's third floor.
Rico
It's just. It's really a shame. It's really a shame.
Dan
Yeah.
Rico
You think of the. The guys who came before you stand on the. The shoulders of giants. Yeah, something like that.
Dan
And for. For anyone listening who doesn't know who Barry is. Barry's the guy who actually died chasing the dude.
Gaz
That's right. I remember this.
Kate
He.
Dan
He passed away.
Gaz
Did pass in California, man.
Rico
Yeah, a lot of great info.
Dan
Yeah, he had a lot of great info. He would have loved last. He would have loved Saturday night. Would have loved it.
Brandon
Rico, did that look like a lived in house to you?
Rico
Yeah, there's more to that.
Tate
Did you believe I know what you're talking about? He lives there, though. That's a fact.
Brandon
Okay.
Rico
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tate
But Bosco, what are you gonna do if. Yeah, if. If your mom or dad. Yeah, exactly. But why is that a problem? If your mom gave you a house for a dollar, would you be mad?
Dan
No, no.
Rico
I'm hoping Dan gives me a house for a dollar.
Dan
You'd have to move here.
Rico
I'm just saying, in general, I mean, I would.
Gaz
Oh.
Brandon
Oh, shit.
Gaz
Credible. Do you.
Brandon
That's Rica. That's a pretty good deal.
Gaz
Life changing amounts of money you'd save.
Kate
It's a good deal with a garage.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
Would you be able to design the rooms? Big cat?
Stan
Yes.
Mincy
Okay. Fair.
Brandon
Fair trade.
Dan
Imagine you just walk in, it's like, here's the. Here's Blackjack Fletcher's room.
Brandon
Oh, my God.
Dan
Catcher Trista. Then we're going to go to the master do suck room. Just a horror movie. Rosco has to live in the cricket. Danny Fetish got the relief.
Rico
Yeah, Relief picture in the basement, yo.
Dan
Yeah. Danny Fetish would have a hell of a time getting that house set up, that's for sure. All right, Bosco. Thanks, man. Congrats.
Nick
Yo.
Kate
Congrats, Bosco.
Dan
Yeah.
Gaz
Big weekend.
Stephen
Big one.
Mincy
Wow.
Rico
The truth shall set you free.
Brandon
Wow.
Dan
There you go.
Kate
Kind of got like a lot of ball left to be played attitude, it seems.
Nick
Yeah.
Dan
Which is smart by him because he's done victory laps.
Kate
Yeah, he Was not victory lapping at all.

Dan
Yeah, he won't do.
Brandon
He didn't seem excited about it.
Dan
He won't take it easy.
Brandon
It's a good deal.
Haley
Tate. How cute is Lancaster, though?
Tate
I do like it.
Haley
Isn't it adorable?
Tate
I do like it. And I'll. And I'll say one other compliment to Nadu. His sister was a very nice, very. She was a very pretty lady. Bosco was wrong. She was a very nice lady.
Haley
Heard she was lovely.
Brandon
Does she have the same, like, mannerisms as Nadu, or is she like.
Nick
Yeah, he's just.
Tate
Yeah, they're always.
Dan
Yeah, a little bit.
Tate
A little bit. Yeah.
Dan
All right. Nadu's on.
Brandon
Jeff, congratulations on the big piece.
Jeff Nadu
What's up, guys?
Haley
Yeah.
Dan
How are we doing?
Jeff Nadu
I'm doing great. How are you?
Dan
I'm great. So overall, what would you say your goes third floor. How did it rank Saturday night?
Jeff Nadu
I wouldn't say it was the best night I've ever been. Had. Been there. But again, like, I. I hear people upset, like, oh, it wasn't what we thought it would be. What more would you want? Do you want me getting a blow
Dan
job in the middle of the dance floor correctly? You just nailed it.
Gaz
Exactly why we were watching.
Dan
Not want that 100. Why we were watching.
Jeff Nadu
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't Think that was ever going to happen? You know, it seemed like people wanted LeBron to announce his decision at the party at midnight. Like that wasn't going to happen.
Dan
Nope. That. That would have been too much. Just the blow job.
Nick
Yeah.
Jeff Nadu
And also, do we actually know I didn't get sucked? How do we know someone didn't come over at 3am I would have told everyone.
Dan
Yeah, you would have treated it instantly.
Jeff Nadu
But again, I. I had a great time. You know, it got a little dusty towards the end, but it is what it is.
Dan
Yeah.
Brandon
What about the chick that you had your eye on for a while? It didn't. Just no chemistry.
Jeff Nadu
What happened there has nothing to do with chemistry. We're speaking right now. We were both drunk. Things happened. I'm not gonna hold it against her. I'm also not gonna discuss her, okay? I've talked to her off and on for a long time, so we're not gonna. I'm not gonna involve her in this, okay? What?
Dan
What, Brandon, what are you thinking?
Nick
Do you have beef towards that? Do you have beef towards Tate and the way he produced this whole thing? The way he put everything out frozen.
Dan
Look at that.
Tate
Big question. The big question.
Gaz
Spit.
Mincy
Great.
Kate
Freeze.
Nick
Also, the answer was, we both got drunk, so we didn't suck.
Tate
The way he answers this question, people get drunk.
Nick
They're more likely to suck.
Gaz
We were too loose.
Brandon
Every time I end up sucking, it's because of booze.
Tate
I don't know if he's watching the way.
Nick
Answer.
Tate
This question is very important.
Nick
We're gonna get him back. I'll ask the question again, okay? You'll. You'll. You'll get. You'll get your answer. I want to make sure that you get your proper. Jeff.
Dan
Jeff, you're back.
Jeff Nadu
Yes.
Nick
All right, here's my. Here's my question. Do you have beef or animosity towards Tate and the way he produced the content, the way he put out the content, the way he represented you?
Jeff Nadu
No, I like Tate a lot. I thought some of it was. Do I think that there was ulterior motives? Probably, yeah. But I think for the most part, he was very fair.
Nick
But you said in your spaces that he was. He kind of made you look bad willingly.
Jeff Nadu
Yeah, I think there were some things that he left out, but maybe he felt like they weren't good pieces to put out, so he didn't put them out. Look, I don't.
Kate
What did he leave out? Just tell us now.
Dan
Yeah, yeah.
Jeff Nadu
Like, I would have liked to have him. Like. Like, one of the things he One of the people he spoke to kind of righted some of the wrongs that were fed by the scumbag that was just on before me. And those weren't kind of.
Dan
Oh, are you guys. Are you guys not cool? Who, you and Rico?
Jeff Nadu
No, Enrico.
Brandon
Since when Rico?
Mark
I didn't know that.
Jeff Nadu
Rico, we're gonna start talking about Nikki.
Nick
Stop doing that. Stop doing that.
Brandon
You keep.
Dan
You keep saying the N word.
Nick
My father fair. He. He said some things he shouldn't have said, but you shouldn't also.
Dan
We got the N word going now.
Jeff Nadu
He does it all the time.
Tate
And words on the table.
Dan
The N word's been presented.
Nick
Nobody said just. Just. It's ridiculous.
Jeff Nadu
This ain't about him anyway, though. Let's go back to what we were saying, though. Yeah, there were a couple things, but all in all, I think Tate did a great job. Look, maybe people think it's weird that I get new sneakers or get a haircut all the time. I like doing it. That's what I'm into. I mean, Brandon, you watch wrestling and you're like 50
Tate
every time.
Nick
That's fine that you said that. That wasn't that funny. Overlapped at that.
Dan
No, I didn't.
Jeff Nadu
But you can't talk about. I mean, some people like to buy cigarettes, some people like to buy, you know, whatever. I like to buy sneakers. I don't like my sneakers creased. There's a multi billion dollar business called sneakers. People buy them.
Nick
Oh, yeah. They were unaware of sneakers.
Jeff Nadu
You're just like, you don't. You have, like, little figurines.
Nick
I do, I do, I do, I do.
Brandon
So you donate your. Your sneakers after 10 days?
Jeff Nadu
Yes, I give them a good.
Nick
And. And Jeff, I would like to just point out I have no issue with you getting your haircut whenever you want. I have no issue with you getting sneakers. You do whatever makes you happy. I just thought it was ridiculous we let you play the character of this dude gets his dick sucked all the time. So we documented it, and then. You didn't get your dicks.
Dan
Yeah. You didn't get.
Jeff Nadu
Well, well, hang on there, Brandon. I got a feeling towards the end of this video, we're gonna basically have you get on your fucking knees and shut up after what we're about to show you.
Nick
But a real quick, show me a video of you getting your dick sucked.
Jeff Nadu
No, hold on. Let me explain the haircut as well. Okay?
Nick
Nobody's question.
Jeff Nadu
Hold on. Do you see the fade? Do you see the lines?
Dan
No, wait, get closer, get closer.
Brandon
No, it's not good.
Dan
Hold on, hold on.
Nick
I see an acre of forehead.
Dan
Get your head down a little. I gotta. You gotta really get in.
Gaz
Look at you.
Nick
Like a baby's ass.
Brandon
Unfortunately, it's crispy.
Dan
It actually looks a little hair.
Gaz
Crispy.
Dan
It's crispy.
Brandon
It's undeniably crispy.
Dan
Okay. Sweet.
Kate
What.
Tate
Get on your knees.
Dan
What do you have at the end that he's gonna have to get on his knees for?
Jeff Nadu
Well, let Tate. Well, let's let Tate answer that.
Tate
Oh, about the size of his. Your dick.
Jeff Nadu
About everything.
Nick
Yeah, he said.
Tate
Yeah, I said.
Jeff Nadu
I said.
Haley
Nu.
Nick
You.
Tate
You. You welcomed me in your house, you introduced me, your family, you showed me. You getting a blow job.
Brandon
Can I.
Tate
Can I. You have a big dick and you got some.
Brandon
So you. You saw his big dick?
Stephen
Yes.
Brandon
The whole thing?
Tate
Yeah.
Brandon
And so the penis wasn't in a mouth.
Tate
It was a blowjob.
Dan
Is that part of the tour? If I come to your house, I could see that. It's like, here's the big spoon getting my dick sauce.
Jeff Nadu
If you ever come to my house, I'll show you the video.
Dan
Okay, great.
Kate
Jeff, what about the allegations that you rented an Airbnb and that's not your real house? Do you even have time for those allegations?
Jeff Nadu
It only has my. Yeah, I rented an Airbnb and put my father's ashes on the. The table in the front.
Dan
It's a nice touch, portable for an Airbnb.
Jeff Nadu
I mean, it'd be hard to prove it because it does have my address on, like, the deed and. And, And. And the home insurance and everything I have. But, yes, my car's rented, the chain's actually fake. That whole jewelry store is fake. Nothing's real in it. Everything's fake that I have.
Kate
I don't. I. I believe it's your place, but the. The spoon on the wall, that's the. That's the only thing that gave me pause because I. I just. I don't see you hanging that.
Jeff Nadu
It's actually a spoon, fork, and a knife. Whoa. And I did all the decorating in that house. I like the blue carpet, like, the little rugs. I made sure it was minimalist.
Dan
Yeah.
Nick
So what.
Jeff Nadu
What.
Dan
What about the spoon?
Nick
You.
Dan
You put up that spoon, fork, and knife?
Jeff Nadu
Of course I did.
Nick
And. Okay, I'm saying in that house.
Jeff Nadu
Well, I say I will have a little. I did have a little help with a little decorating, but all in all. Yeah.
Nick
Are you in that house now?
Jeff Nadu
Yeah.
Nick
Okay. It's just the phrasing was weird in that House the way you said it.
Mark
Yeah.
Dan
Can we see them? Can we see the big spoon and knife?
Nick
Yeah, let's see that. Yeah, sure. Hang on.
Dan
Cool, cool, cool, cool.
Brandon
He's about to get another duck.
Dan
Don't trip over the cord.
Jeff Nadu
Yeah, I gotta. I gotta get that cleaned up.
Nick
What? Cord is like Ethernet cord.
Dan
There's a cord that just goes across.
Jeff Nadu
Unfortunately, the router had to go in
Dan
another room, so that's a ridiculous course.
Brandon
How long have those rooms been empty?
Mincy
Jeff, are you.
Jeff Nadu
Whoa, now.
Dan
Oh, wait a second.
Mark
See?
Dan
So they're. They're kind of. Oh, interesting. Can you. Can you eat. Can you eat cereal with that spoon?
Nick
Oh.
Dan
Oh, my God.
Brandon
Damn.
Dan
So they. They double as actually something you could eat with? Yeah, yeah. Tate, do you feel okay with his answers so far?
Tate
Yeah, I feel. I feel okay with his answers, Jeff. I saw the spaces. You're saying it was. I was the reason the party wasn't.
Dan
Show the cord to Brandon.
Nick
Let him answer Tate's question.
Rico
Yeah, I'll answer.
Nick
Hang on.
Dan
Look at this chord.
Jeff Nadu
How the hell do you flip this thing?
Dan
There it is.
Brandon
Oh, yeah.
Dan
That just makes.
Brandon
That's a hazard.
Dan
It's not great.
Jeff Nadu
I gotta figure it out. That's one knock on this to one knock on this house. I gotta figure out.
Dan
Yeah, yeah.
Tate
Jeff, I gave you a good edit. I don't like the narrative that. That I didn't.
Jeff Nadu
Yeah, I think, again, 9 80, 90 was very fair. And. And other than that, you know, there was a little. Little. Look, the big thing was obviously that the fight between us about the call. We figured it out. All in all, you did. It did a nice job.
Kate
Did you ever get it back after the. The DJ fight tone and what. Who was it? DJ Matt?
Tate
Matt?
Mincy
Trap.
Tate
King.
Kate
Trap King.
Haley
Yeah.
Nick
Did you.
Jeff Nadu
I'm sure Tate talked about it. It was just something between those two. Most of it had to do with other things that didn't have anything to do with the party. It was just. It's a private call.
Kate
I want to know about your headspace, though, so you clear that up. Was there ever a moment after that where you're like, we can still have a banger party and it's still going to go? Or was it like that was the moment when realized things aren't going to go according to plan?
Jeff Nadu
Yeah, because it kind of. It messed the day up a little bit because, you know, there were some other things I wanted to do as far as before the party, and it just. It made it a little negative. Throw in the fact that Tate had to Leave for a period of time that kind of threw off the. The thing. So. Yeah, I wish it wouldn't have happened, but. Yeah, it is what it is. I saw those guys last night and they were all very happy. They seemed like they had a good time. So.
Dan
Okay, you know, what's it?
Haley
Nothing.
Kate
What's DJ Matt like?
Tate
He just. He was good, man. Yeah, he kept going. Jeff, Jeff, it's your birthday.
Nick
Jeff.
Tate
That's what I'm.
Kate
That's what I. That's what I said.
Jeff Nadu
Listen, they brought me a cake. Well, they didn't bring me a cake. One of the girls brought me a cake. She bought the cake with her. But it was fun. I had a good time. What more do you want? What more did you want?
Dan
Well, and you know. You know the answer.
Kate
You know the answer, Jeff.
Jeff Nadu
Yeah. You wanted me being blown on camera.
Mark
I know.
Dan
Yeah. That's not that hard to ask.
Jeff Nadu
I will always tell Barstow this. If you want to get into the porn business, I'm in.
Dan
I'll do it. Oh, okay.
Nick
You've always said that.
Gaz
Yeah.
Jeff Nadu
Yes. Hire. Get a. Get ourselves a nice castmate and we'll do it.
Nick
Okay.
Dan
I didn't know that was on the table.
Jeff Nadu
Yes, I'll make my debut one night at One Night with Nadu.
Tate
Oh, I'm there.
Brandon
What do you mean?
Nick
No, you're not there.
Tate
I'm not there. Brandon's my new book.
Nick
Yeah, we gotta regulate how we.
Brandon
Oh my God, you're getting sick.
Jeff Nadu
Also, I did want to put this to bed. I did not hire the robot. I don't know who ordered that.
Dan
Oh, thank God.
Nick
We were worried about that one.
Dan
That was a great.
Jeff Nadu
I had nothing to do with the Transformer, man.
Dan
The robot was the best part of
Brandon
the credit for that.
Haley
I have a quick question. When it became clear that things. She was maybe nervous or whatever and you were going unsucked. Possibly. Did you ever think about leaving the velvet rope and mixing and mingling with the other ladies there? Or were you afraid that were they. She would get even more upset or something?
Jeff Nadu
I was. Listen, I was so drunk at the time. I don't know. People were fighting with each other. It was a fight. There was a fight in the girls bathroom that I don't even think Tate knew about. That happens. There were. There were people fighting down the steps that go up the place. People just acted stupid. It got too crazy. But her and I are fine. The fight in the car was crazy too. That wasn't even about me.
Nick
Why were they. Why were they fighting? Did you not pay them all the time.
Stan
Same.
Jeff Nadu
Funny.
Nick
Thanks.
Jeff Nadu
Yeah, well, look, Brandon, you could call it what you want, but when some. When. When I have a girl that I talk to and she comes down here, do I pay for her and her friends to go out to dinner? Yeah. That's what men do. You don't do that.
Nick
Thank you for telling me what men do, Jeff. I appreciate that.
Jeff Nadu
Yeah, we know you're. We know you're the Casanova. We get it.
Nick
I don't know how the.
Jeff Nadu
Do we always have him on when I'm on. He's a fucking hater.
Dan
He's on the show.
Nick
I'm on the fucking show.
Jeff Nadu
I'm tired of this motherfucker, man. You never give me credit for.
Brandon
It is weird that Brandon's always on when you're on.
Jeff Nadu
Yeah, he just said that. The whole thing. The thing's real.
Nick
And you still don't believe he saw a still shot that you googled off the Internet. I got it. Wait, everybody knows.
Gaz
Was it a still image, Tate, or
Jeff Nadu
do you see a video?
Gaz
Was the appendage attached to Jeff to do? You saw his face?
Tate
I saw his face and his dick. Yes.
Nick
Ow.
Tate
He showed me.
Dan
No, no.
Haley
How does one do.
Nick
It was taking the picture.
Gaz
It was the vantage.
Tate
It was.
Brandon
How is it face, dick and him?
Tate
It was.
Jeff Nadu
Because it's a. It was through the mirror.
Tate
Yes, through the mirror.
Brandon
Oh, you saw the mirror?
Tate
Saw the mirror. I saw the lady. Was the mirror in Vegas and I saw.
Kate
Was it the mirror in Vegas?
Tate
Was it in Vegas, Jeff?
Jeff Nadu
Yes.
Nick
I gotta think about it.
Kate
Oh, my God.
Tate
Saw it. I did see that.
Jeff Nadu
You know what?
Kate
Yeah, this is.
Jeff Nadu
Table this. We'll table this until whenever meta vodner happens. Hey, Brandon, you'll see it soon. When I come out there, I'll show it to you so then you can finally believe it. Okay. You want to see it so bad.
Nick
I still won't believe it. Jeff. Men of honor. You think it's really gonna happen?
Dan
It's gotta.
Jeff Nadu
Oh, it's. Oh, no, it's gonna happen.
Nick
No, we keep saying it's gotta, but
Dan
I want to do live audience.
Nick
I don't think either. You said you're gonna punch Bosco if you see him.
Jeff Nadu
Yeah, it's. It's definitely going through my head like a mic stand. Like this in the side of the face. Oh, that would be beautiful.
Dan
That's walk out, brother. What do we give a shit?
Kate
What are we waiting on?
Jeff Nadu
I don't give a about simple. I'll go to jail for it.
Kate
Starts football season oh, it's a football. Yeah, it's a football podcast.
Jeff Nadu
So we're gonna do it, and he's gonna do it every week. I'm gonna make sure he does it. I'm gonna put him through hell because, you know, he wants to run his mouth all the fucking time. So I'm gonna make him sit there and do it with me. So, yeah, live audience would be awesome.
Dan
All right. We might get a live audience. Chicago, by the way, too.
Jeff Nadu
I do want to end this with something.
Dan
Yeah.
Jeff Nadu
You know, all these fucking riders, they all claim to be these fucking big. Tough guy. Not one of these motherfuckers showed up. Not one. So you could have showed up to the fucking venue and try to put Pull some dumb. You didn't do nothing about it. Derek from the chat. A clown who spent an hour on a stream talking about my party. Hey, tough guy. Don't you live like two hours away? I thought you were gonna come slap me. You didn't. None of you did anything. Not a thing. What?
Dan
Well, maybe it was because Big Tone was being a. At the door.
Jeff Nadu
He wasn't even at the door, by the way.
Dan
Okay, okay, okay. Because DJ Matt did tell me that that might happen. That is fact.
Jeff Nadu
That was. That was a funny promotion, I will say, by him to do that. But, yeah, it caused a lot of problems.
Dan
Yeah. All right. Thank you, Jeff. See you.
Kate
Thanks, Jeff.
Dan
Time to see you. Men of honor.
Mincy
Men of honor.
Mark
Yeah.
Jeff Nadu
Looking forward to it. Let's do the live audience.
Dan
Yes, I'm in. I would love to. Live audience for men of honor.
Kate
So the original argument was that he didn't get sucked in Vegas. He has video proof of that. And he still somehow lost.
Tate
And here's why.
Kate
He fumbled porn and he's down to Dupont.
Tate
Yeah, here's why.
Kate
But he. He just came away from this as a loser despite.
Tate
He just needs game at your ghost. Because the problem is he did show me a still image of that. But if everyone's argument is he pays for this and he faked the car and he did this and he flew the girls in and he got them dinner and he got them a hotel and then he left without the girls, like.
Dan
Yeah, you gotta show you could make,
Tate
you know, reasonable doubt that that girl was not right. Like, he didn't pick her up at the bar.
Dan
Right.
Tate
So that's why I'm saying to do. I think you gotta. I think you have to show that you have some sort of game. We need the bra without bringing someone in.
Dan
Yeah.
Tate
Bringing in the closer to close the game.
Gaz
Like, we know. We know he has. He has money.
Dan
Yeah.
Gaz
Which is cool.
Tate
It is cool.
Gaz
Has a big dick.
Dan
That's so cool.
Gaz
Which is cool.
Jeff Nadu
Yeah.
Kate
So, like a bit like, like.
Dan
So he's got a crispy haircut.
Kate
Like, I guess like a good. Like a good size big or like, this is like, almost too big.
Tate
So if you saw the interview I did with him Friday night, I laid out like a bunch of.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah.
Tate
And he picked the. And he picked the Phoenix Energy.
Brandon
Yeah. That would have anybody.
Mincy
He goes.
Tate
He goes, this might be too short. And I was like, all right, dude, go. The Phoenix Energy might have been too short. Ask Eddie. Call Eddie. Call Eddie. Yeah, that'd be exactly.
Mincy
There you go.
Dan
There you go.
Stan
Brandon.
Tate
Wait, hold on.
Brandon
But it's correct width.
Tate
Probably a little. A little.
Nick
Okay.
Dan
Yeah, I can see how that works.
Brandon
Could you suck. Could you suck Nadu's dick?
Dan
Me?
Brandon
Yeah. Do you? Yeah.
Dan
Like, physically?
Brandon
Yeah, sure.
Tate
So, yeah, the official answer. He has been sucked. But I do not have proof. That shows that he has game. Has game to get sucked. Yeah.
Mincy
Right.
Dan
Okay.
Brandon
So maybe he. Maybe he doesn't get a lot of quantity. Maybe he's more of a lover. He got devastated that the one girl. And he quit.
Dan
He caught feelings.
Brandon
That's it. That's. Maybe that's why he's ashamed at his 37. Or maybe he just doesn't get any birthday bash.
Dan
Yorgos, third floor.
Nick
That he threw.
Dan
He drew for himself.
Stan
That he left.
Stephen
Tate, I have a question. Were there any grape leaves passed around at the grape.
Dan
Good question.
Nick
No.
Tate
No food. No.
Kate
No food at all.
Jeff Nadu
No food.
Tate
No food.
Nick
Zero food. Nope.
Dan
Damn.
Mincy
Zero.
Kate
Whether it was there food on the second floor you could go down and get.
Tate
It was like, kind of like sports bar.
Rico
Bar.
Tate
And then it was restaurant. Yes. And then it was third floor.
Dan
Then it was Mykonos.
Stan
Yeah.
Dan
A little tiny.
Kate
Do you want a serious assignment or a semi serious assignment or do you, like. You have a skill for this?
Tate
I love it. But what Brandon said is I want to do it like, I think Chef Donnie's reunion. Or like, big. Like something that you guys would be good.
Nick
Yes.
Tate
In if we did. I don't know the example. Deutsche, Dana, Kate, Oktoberfest. Like, those things are great. Sell it, whatever. But I don't just want to do little.
Kate
Let me ask you this. If you're on an assignment with Nadu or Mincy and you uncover something that's, like, huge and serious and, like, groundbreaking, would you chase that lead? Like, if you found out that, like, Nadu Is, I don't even know who shot jfk.
Dan
Oh, yeah.
Kate
You found out that the guy who shot JFK was.
Tate
Yeah.
Kate
Would you. Would you be like, oh, that's cool, man. I gotta get back to the party? Or would you be like, now, let me follow this lead?
Tate
Honestly, I probably would have had to call Dan.
Brandon
Yeah, the guy that actually killed JFK's here. But. But, like, would you ever want to do undercover work? Like, would you wait outside of the shoe store, the Goodwill, to see if the air Force's donation is true? Every 10 days.
Dan
Yeah.
Tate
Yeah, I got some. Like, that's what I'm saying.
Dan
Would be sick.
Brandon
A stakeout would be cool.
Tate
Like. And does Nadu seem like. I'm not saying the car's fake. The house is his. Do you think that if Nadu was driving a Mercedes, you would have not known about it until.
Dan
It's good. Good points.
Kate
Great point.
Brandon
I feel like we would have known a lot sooner.
Kate
Yeah.
Nick
What's the.
Kate
What's the biggest personal mystery now?
Brandon
Why did Mince have that by his bed? Another person you have friction with, but luckily he has something to help with that.
Nick
That's a mystery. Is that a mystery to anybody?
Tate
But the empty condoms box.
Nick
I don't.
Tate
Is that a mystery?
Nick
I don't know.
Brandon
And he had. He chose bare skin. Is that Was his.
Tate
Yeah, bear skin. Studded.
Brandon
And I know he put on the studded inside out so he could add it, make it feel better for him.
Nick
He didn't take a bath. He didn't shower between Tuesday and Saturday.
Dan
Yeah, no, I mean, he's disgusting.
Gaz
He's here. I saw him. He's reduced to nothing. He's about to die.
Dan
There's never been an ankle injury that's taken someone out more thoroughly than this.
Brandon
Somebody put an out of order sign on the elevator so he just wouldn't come upstairs.
Mark
Yeah,
Dan
smart move.
Brandon
Yeah.
Haley
You see Deutsche put toilet paper on his wheel?
Brandon
No, I didn't see that.
Nick
All right, you have any idea who put the out of order sign on the. On the elevator?
Tate
I know exactly who did.
Dan
I do, too.
Kate
I think I know, too. I think I know.
Nick
Oh, I just assumed it was tape.
Tate
No, no, no, no.
Dan
It wasn't it.
Nick
Okay.
Tate
It's my guy.
Dan
Oh, no. Yeah. I mean, he's. He's like.
Brandon
He gave up on crutches.
Dan
He broke his ankle.
Nick
No, the crutches were out there.
Haley
Well, I think.
Tate
Well, I brought him.
Nick
Oh, okay.
Haley
Did they not discover he bought kid crutches? That's why they tried to extend them to the end. I think Deutsch was like, these are for, like, adolescents. Like, these are not for grown.
Mark
Got it.
Tate
Yeah. What happened was. So he texted me last night. He was doing practice on his own out in the.
Nick
Brandon, I want to take this tweet real quick. Just busted so bad. Trying to practice crutches. Landed on my right quad. This is your quad, correct?
Rico
Yeah.
Brandon
How do you land on that?
Nick
Land on your quad. How do you land on the front of your.
Gaz
Land on your.
Tate
Trying to get security footage from the.
Nick
To get him landing on his quad.
Tate
Yes. I want to see what it looks like.
Nick
Okay. All right.
Tate
But, yeah, he was doing crutch practice. He fell. He was yelling. Someone had to come help him. And then I was like, hey, Mincy, I'll come get you tomorrow. He wanted to come to work but couldn't. So I was like, I'll come get you. Let's do wheelchair. And he goes, no, I need to learn how to use crutches. But between that conversation, he called his mom, and his mom said, if it's that dangerous to use crutches, why don't you just stick to the wheelchair?
Dan
And crutches, notoriously, are very dangerous.
Nick
Very dangerous. Yeah.
Dan
A very, very difficult thing for someone to master.
Nick
Children who break their ankle are given crutches every day. Every. Every day of the year.
Tate
When, like, a kid breaks his ankle. Like, when do you go back to school?
Nick
Right away.
Dan
No, again, this is. This is. He broke his ankle and he's treating
Nick
it like it's Michael Scott. It just is.
Dan
Yeah. Max broke his ankle and was here the next day. He went to the Super Bowl. Like, he did everything.
Tate
I'll tell you this. I know this guy, though. He's not milking it in his brain. Like, he. He.
Nick
What's he doing? Why is he facing the other way?
Dan
Can't turn around on his own, dude.
Gaz
He cannot move.
Nick
That's just his office.
Brandon
Now, is he good at operating the wheelchair on it?
Dan
No.
Tate
And he keeps doing this thing. I push him and he uses his. I said, mincy, just put your feet up and I'll push you.
Dan
You can't do it.
Tate
Bloodman had to be jammed in the back seat of my car because Mincy still has to lay down in the back seat.
Haley
Why?
Dan
Broken ache ankle.
Kate
What? What?
Dan
Brandon, he.
Nick
He broke his ankle.
Dan
I know.
Nick
Teddy broke.
Dan
Kinda kind of broke his ankle.
Nick
That's not a. I mean, he's lucky
Tate
they used the B word.
Gaz
I'll say that.
Brandon
Really?
Kate
Yeah, I saw the.
Nick
Oh, wait, wait a second. Wait a Second. What. What are you saying?
Gaz
I.
Tate
It is a broken ankle. I just know that he would be doing the same thing if the lady was just like, yeah, you. Fractured or sprained, whatever. There's just a lot of people messaging me. Being like, that was way too snap of a decision. And it's not like she never followed
Kate
up and said, like, the next thing
Tate
was, I need you to put more weight on it so I can get a better, better X ray. And he's like, I can't. So that was the only read we got was.
Gaz
It was like a questionnaire diagnosis.
Tate
Yeah. She's like, all right.
Gaz
Took his word for it.
Tate
Yeah.
Gaz
Oh, interesting.
Kate
So the only time the word broken was said was that first.
Tate
Yeah. Right away.
Dan
Yeah.
Kate
Interesting.
Dan
Interesting. Oh, gross.
Nick
Saturday afternoon at 4:55pm first shower since.
Gaz
Oh, no.
Nick
Difficulty level was a 5 on a 1 to 10 scale. Not awful. If. If. If the shower difficulties are 5, it should have been taken, like, Wednesday.
Dan
I think there's a chance he might
Brandon
die from this, but that. You know, he has that face when he has the bare skin rolled on.
Tate
Oh, yeah, Practice.
Dan
He's doing reps. Oh, all right. Tate, you did a great job.
Brandon
Great work.
Nick
Thanks. Hey, look, you're the best at this.
Dan
Yeah. Yeah. Awesome.
Nick
We just got to get you better assignments.
Kate
That makes you. Are you.
Tate
I really look forward. Like Dave, Dan, Gaz. Send me the next one. I love it.
Mark
You.
Kate
The high's been good. I saw the. You. You missed the wedding. She was upset.
Dan
I saw you enter the Charles Barkley clip.
Nick
I'm worried. I'm worried one of these days she's gonna get really mad.
Dan
Send her the Charles Barkley clip.
Tate
I'll send her the Charles.
Dan
Charles Barkley said he doesn't go to weddings or funerals.
Kate
I do have an assignment.
Mark
Florida.
Tate
What do you got?
Kate
Chef Donnie owes me two hockey jerseys.
Dan
Yeah.
Nick
Now we're talk.
Kate
I would love for you to get
Brandon
to down in Florida.
Tate
She made some good points. Her best one. I didn't realize this. I forgot. Like, last year, I wasn't on the Ohio State Michigan stream, and I was really mad about it. I was on Thanksgiving, and I spent the entire Thanksgiving just, like, looking for receipts.
Dan
And listen, those stats, she. She gotta get over that one.
Nick
You're gonna be doing that the rest of when.
Stan
When.
Dan
When Eber Fl didn't call. Timeout. Lions. Bears. Two years ago, I. I spent, like, the entire Thanksgiving in my garage, I think. So I like. You gotta just.
Tate
I'll give her credit.
Gaz
She. Oh, nice.
Nick
I was just asking What's a garage?
Dan
Oh, yeah, I know somebody who can ask.
Tate
She loves the assignments.
Kate
Like an unused penis.
Tate
She knows what I signed up for. I love it. It's my favorite thing. But, like, when I'm not supposed to be working when I'm at Thanksgiving, like, you don't need to be checking Twitter. So that's what. That's our deal.
Kate
Yeah. All right.
Tate
All right, guys.
Nick
Thanks, Tape.

Mark
Brandon?
Nick
Now wireless.
Dan
I have something that we could do real quick.
Nick
What you got? Oh, you. You said you had a story from this morning. Oh, is that just for us?
Dan
I do, but I also have something to unveil.
Nick
Okay.
Dan
Stephen, would you like to go out there with Wyatt? Maybe there's some ropes set up.
Stan
Yep.
Nick
Is this a.
Dan
It's Banner Day.
Gaz
Oh, wow.
Stan
Oh.
Nick
Oh, my goodness. We've been waiting for Banner Day.
Dan
Banner Day. Yeah. Banner day.
Nick
At what point will we be. Almost 100 banners?
Dan
We're getting there.
Nick
Like, we won't be able to play basketball on Fridays because it's just too many banners.
Dan
Yeah. Banner days happening. You guys missed a hell of a show.
Mark
Who?
Dan
It wasn't here on Friday. Oh, just Nick.
Nick
I was here, but they. We had 50.
Dan
I was falling.
Nick
Yeah, it was.
Mincy
And the one guy that.
Dan
Yeah, What a troll.
Mark
That.
Dan
We gotta follow up. So Eric from Super Troopers said that he tore his Achilles and couldn't do the gauntlet. And we're like, now you gotta do it. Turns out he's got a prosthetic leg. He was born with one leg, so I know I did just with us.
Kate
He had to have been.
Nick
No, he's 100. Was just.
Kate
Yeah, yeah. He said he tore his Achilles four weeks ago.
Dan
Yeah.
Haley
Turns out he's been, like, a motivational speaker for, like.
Dan
Yeah.
Stan
I mean.
Dan
Badass. Total badass.
Haley
Yeah. Awesome guy.
Nick
Pretty good.
Dan
Stupid.
Haley
He does workout videos.
Kate
I think he was shooting jump shots.
Mincy
He was in all the P90X videos.
Dan
Yeah. Okay, you ready?
Kate
Awesome.
Nick
What. What is Che doing with the bat?
Dan
I don't know. Steven, you ready?
Nick
What's a bat gonna do? How many we got? Three. Three banners.
Dan
Three banners.
Nick
Geez Louise. Yeah, we do. I see them now.
Dan
Here we go.
Nick
That a boy, Steven.
Gaz
Yep.
Brandon
Did he think that would do it?
Nick
Just. Just give it a. Give it a yank. Give it a tug.
Mark
Pull it, Steve. Whoa.
Dan
That one's beautiful.
Nick
All right, for podcast listeners, Washington state volleyball sweet 16 in 1997. I know what two of them are.
Kate
Oh, no way.
Dan
String broke, Steve.
Kate
No way. Stephen.
Nick
Has he never unveiled a banner before?
Dan
God damn it.
Gaz
Seemingly never.
Dan
So what do we do with that one? Throw a ball at it.
Tate
Throw a ball at it.
Stephen
It.
Nick
Throw a ball at it.
Brandon
Yeah, it's all tied up up there.
Kate
Oh, I agree with Kate.
Brandon
Oh, God.
Stephen
Oh, God.
Nick
Oh, don't break another string.

Brandon
This is the worst banner day we've ever done. That's bad.
Kate
Holy.
Dan

Kate
Is that serious? Was he joking around? Yeah.
Brandon
There were men here this morning putting these up. Right. Is that like.
Stephen
Yep.
Brandon
Do we get a ladder? I don't know if we have a ladder high enough.
Dan
Get Donnie on the crane.
Brandon
Yeah, crane.
Dan
What the. Steve.
Brandon
Why is everybody saying ball? It might do something.
Haley
I'm sad.
Kate
That's your instinct in a gym is just throw a ball.
Mark
Yeah, throw a ball at it.
Dan
Get it on Stuck. All right.
Kate
I actually love the idea. Just throw a ball.
Dan
Steven, you cannot leave that court until you get those banners down.
Gaz
Figure it out.
Dan
All right, first throw.
Tate
Not even close.
Dan
Oh, man.

Did he talk to you about sandcastles at all?
Dan
Yeah, and I got Quite the story about sandcastles. Quite the story about sandcastles.
Haley
They're gonna take our Internet out.
Dan
Wow. Nadu has never tweeted the words Mercedes Benz or Mercury. Huh? Yeah. You'd think a guy like that would tell everyone that he drives a Mercedes.
Brandon
He would. He would say that every day.
Gaz
Right?
Dan
What do we do now? This is when we. I wish we had Buddy Deutsch, by the way. The I. I. It's like when you buy a car and then you see car, the same car everywhere. Like, maybe a block and a half from my house was a massive nest.
Gaz
Yeah. You're looking out for him.
Dan
I'm seeing him everywhere. I was like, God damn it.
Brandon
I talked to Deutsch yesterday. I was in the office for a second, and he said his dad got pulled aside at, like, the grocery store, like, 10 times by fans, and he was confused because he didn't know the yak was live.
Dan
Yeah, that's. He did a whole live with us on Friday and then said to Wyatt in the car, said to Deutsch in the car, like, hey, when. When are they airing that or something?
Gaz
I thought it was, like, a movie in production.
Dan
Yeah.
Haley
I'd like to see a picture of the ankle, see how it's doing.

Oh, yeah.
Dan
Oh, medieval.

Gaz
We had a boy in town.
Dan
Ah, I had to.
Gaz
I wish I was there.
Dan
There's actually a really funny stoolie that he told me something that bummed me out afterwards, but it also might end up in one of us getting really, really hurt. He said that? So he was really nice guy from Tennessee. Came in for the Stella Blue golden mug.
Gaz
Nice.
Dan
He's the one who's. He asked about you and I said, you know, Kyle, in these situations, I
Gaz
would have loved to have been there.

Gaz
Yeah. Thank you.
Mincy
Stood.
Dan
Ain't no way he brought us fighting sticks.

Haley
Like Kubatons.
Dan
Yeah. His wife was like, this is stupid. They're not gonna want it.
Tate
Yeah.
Dan
And then when he told me about it, I was like, no, no, no. For Death Match, we want them badly. He's gonna mail him to us.
Gaz
Oh, please.
Dan
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's gonna mail us fighting sticks.
Gaz
We got it. We have to.

Nick
Like that happened on the first hole.
Haley
Okay, but wait, what?

Brandon
Did you wipe your ass with any diaper?
Mark
Yeah, wipe my ass with my underwear.
Kate
So that's a diaper.
Nick
Oh, no, shitty under the inside and the outside of your underwear.
Mark
Yeah, there's everywhere by the end of it, but not everywhere. Don't make it sound like it.
Haley
Was that like a.
Dan
You said that or was it like
Gaz
a short like a schmear or a log?
Mark
It was like a baby, probably.
Kate
Yeah, baby.
Mark
Yeah, baby.
Kate
And your underpants contained the.
Brandon
But did that like.
Dan
Did that like a droopy.
Mark
No, it wasn't that big. You guys are understanding it wrong. You're misunderstanding it.
Brandon
But did you're like desire to subside after that or did you.
Mark
No, I kind of. I Don't know. I still. I should. After the round, when you just left
Kate
your diaper out in the woods.
Mark
I buried it, Mark. I buried it. It's 100 cotton.
Brandon
It'll. It'll go away quick.
Mark
I don't know.
Gaz
It's biodegradable.
Haley
Wearing khakis.
Mark
I was wearing no spandex or not spandex. What do you call it?
Brandon
What about the pants?
Mark
Polyester.
Brandon
Okay.
Mark
Pants are fine.
Tate
Inside.
Brandon
At what point in hole one did you. Is as soon as you drove, when you exerted some.
Mark
No, I was approaching the green. I was walking up to the green to make my second shot.
Gaz
Did anyone know or.
Mark
I knew right away.
Gaz
Well, you did.
Mark
Yeah.
Brandon
It was your.
Nick
It wasn't surprising.

Kate
You got. You did.
Gaz
Par. Par. Despite this fiasco.
Mark
Yeah. Thank God the guys were slow.
Gaz
He can golf like that, dude.
Dan
He's good golfer.
Gaz
How'd you do?
Dan
Not good until the end. First three holes good until the. We were behind some slow guys. I had a stare down with it.
Mark
They were bad. Slowest I've ever.
Dan
But they were so brutal. Stared them down on a Monday.
Gaz
They know what it was like.
Dan
I think they. They were. I tattled on them.
Gaz
You tattled on them?
Dan
Well, I told the ranger. I was like, hey, can you let him know? Because we were at the point where it was not fair enough. It was. It was. The people behind us were then standing next to us waiting as well. No, it was like, dude, we can't do anything about it.
Mark
It was so bad. They were in a foursome and then they'd split off. Two people in their group said, we're gonna leave these guys. Yeah, it was that bad. They were bad.
Dan
They were lining up every putt like it was the masters.
Brandon
Oh, like that.
Gaz
They were that kind of slow.
Mark
Yeah.
Gaz
And they were like, that's even worse.
Dan
Yeah. And they were, like, putting their car. There's little that you can do. Like, they were putting their carts right in front of the green. So they would putt and then they would have to go walk and get their cart and then, like, put it off. So you can just walk off the green.
Kate
You had a 20 minute poopy diaper delay and you still caught up to him easily. Yeah, that's. That's awesome.
Mark
Well, thank God they were slow on the second to Be honest. I would have been. It would have been another hole with that in my pants.
Dan
Yeah. I was very confused. I said to Max, I was like, why is he running all the way into the woods to take a piss? And then he came back. He's like, yeah, a diaper.
Mark
Diapered happened.
Tate
Did you.
Brandon
Were you able to clean with water? Did you bring, like, a bottle of water out there?
Mark
No, but I waited till there's a porta potty on the hole seven.
Kate
Yeah.
Brandon
Oh, nice.
Dan
So you just went there.
Mark
Yeah.
Brandon
And wiped?
Mark
No, I didn't bother. I got. I think I got most of it.
Dan
You didn't need to wipe.
Mark
I just watched my checking, wash my hands, and then, you know, the porta pot. Oh, I'm pretty. It's pretty clean. It's pretty streamlined. When he gets down.
Brandon
What do you think made you yourself a lot of.
Mark
I. I spent the last four days eating nothing but lobster, mussels, and clams.
Brandon
Oh, wow.
Nick
Yeah.
Brandon
Family reunion, right?
Mark
Family reunion. Yep. Yeah.
Brandon
Did you build a sandcastle?
Mark
So this is. That's embarrassing. I don't know.
Nick
That's embarrassing.
Brandon
You just yourself.
Dan
He told me, and I was. I was embarrassed.
Mark
Yeah. I didn't even tweet out the pictures because I was pretty embarrassed. Turns out alligators are harder to make. To make than I gave credit for.
Brandon
Did you try to make an alligator?
Mark
I tried to make an alligator.
Dan
Tried to best his uncle with what his uncle does best.
Brandon
His bread and butter.
Haley
Yeah.
Mark
Yep.
Dan
And he got dummied by his uncle.
Mark
And then my classic wasn't even that good this year. My classic was on. And then, well, the real company got random.
Stephen
What?
Mark
Practice day. Practice day. I was making a classic, and I
Nick
thought, what's a classic castle?
Mark
A classic castle.
Haley
Okay.
Kate
Castle.
Mark
Bucket and pail or bucket and shovel? And bucket. And I had to. I doordashed my own shovel this year. I thought I was really prepared. And then these kids on the beach saw what we were doing, and they made their own sculpture out of nowhere. Made. They made a car on the beach, which was better than anything I made. And that pissed me off, too. Yeah. Little kids.
Dan
What did your uncle say when you did the alligator gator?
Mark
He kind of just laughed because he knew I had. I had no shot.
Nick
Yeah.
Dan
Why did you do that?
Brandon
How was his gator?
Mark
Because I got in my head after. After that, I said, maybe I should. This will be the year I've beat him at his own game. And so you.
Kate
It was just you and your uncle, the only two in the competition, but
Mark
he's been making alligators and other people do, but no, only. Only to that have a real chance
Gaz
or you got second place?
Mark
Well, no, because it didn't. The actual day got rained out, so. This was in practice. I was a warm up practice day. It's just.
Dan
Did he make an alligator in practice?
Mark
He didn't practice.
Dan
So he just laughed at you being like, dude, you seriously going to try to make an alligator?
Mark
Do you want to see my alligator? I don't know how to project it.
Brandon
Yeah, actually project it to me.
Kate
Were the kids that beat you in the competition?
Mark
Those kids were just like next door
Dan
they were doing for sport and they
Mark
you up and it was kind of annoying. Yeah.
Nick
How good of a car did they do?
Mark
You said pretty. I mean, it was. They sat. They could sit in it.
Nick
They could sit in the car. Holy.
Dan
And you made a shitty alligator.
Brandon
Kidding me.
Mark
Yeah, but again, who brings a car to a beach?
Dan
It's like everybody
Mark
that kind of.
Kate
That pisses
Nick
they could sit in the car.
Kate
Would drive a car to a beach.
Brandon
Was this the. Was this the Enriquez side?
Mark
No, this is the other side. The. The j. Oh, the other. Well, Johnson side. I guess.
Brandon
You're half Johnson.
Nick
Yeah.
Mark
Okay. But I did have a nice emote.
Nick
Got a nice moat.
Mark
Yeah.
Nick
Just a little hole, you dig.
Mark
Michael's name is Dick Johnson. It's kind of fun.
Dan
Oh, is it?
Gaz
Yeah.
Brandon
Okay, wait.
Mark
The guy that Richard Johnson. Dick Johnson.
Brandon
His name's Dick Johnson.
Dan
Building the alligator.
Mark
Yeah. So.
Kate
Wow.
Mark
I'll give you a couple angles in mind.
Dan
This guy just bodies. You left it right.
Brandon
Do you have a picture of his. Of dicks?
Mark
No, he didn't go. I told you.
Jeff Nadu
Oh, yeah.
Brandon
He doesn't go.
Dan
He doesn't need practice.
Mincy
No.
Dan
Here's my Donnie's slaving away in practice day.
Brandon
How many people showed up to practice my alligators?
Mark
Embarrassing. Just me. And then the cousins were around.
Dan
So you're the only one who practiced.
Mark
Yes, because I wanted to. I thought I was like, I can't go and talk this game about me winning and lose. And now we'll never know. At least you got rained out. I'm gonna.
Stan
No, we.
Dan
We know that you would have lost.
Gaz
Yep.
Mark
Okay, well, I'll send the car into.
Nick
Yeah, I need car.
Dan
I see his car. This is great. That's your alligator.
Mark
That's my classic. No, that's a good classic.
Dan
He thought your classic alligator.
Kate
That's your classic Donnie.
Brandon
That looks more like an elevator.
Mark
Show the side profile.
Brandon
That blows.
Gaz
Oh, barf,
Dan
Bro. You can't call this a classic.
Mark
I wasn't even done yet. I wasn't.
Dan
That sucks. Nothing classic about that.
Mark
That's halfway through. You don't even see the shells I put in that.
Nick
Halfway to what, though?
Haley
Six in it.
Brandon
What was your inspiration? Is that Trojan?
Mark
I don't know what the inspiration was. I was just building. You were playing Lincoln Logs. You ever doing any. Anything crafty in your life?
Nick
Yes. Was your alligator worse than that?
Mark
Yes, my alligator is pretty.
Dan
Oh, man. That was so dog. I don't know how you.
Kate
I thought that was the alligator.
Dan
I could have been better than.
Brandon
Platypus brother.
Kate
It was.
Mark
It was tough and it was bad and I.
Dan
Donnie, here's the car.
Mark
I had the wrong kind of sand for that one, though. I didn't want to walk down to low tide and get the right kind of sand. Yeah, no, it's not my best. It's not my best. It's been 10 years since I've competed,
Dan
so the fact that you've been going to war with the classic, like that's never gonna. Look, if there was. If you're the only person in the competition, they still wouldn't get.
Mark
A lot of things went wrong. Okay. Usually I'm used to the general store having more bucket options, so we had one. And usually they have different kinds of stencils and so. Yes. Yeah. Was it a bad classic? Maybe.
Kate
Maybe.
Mark
Yeah.
Kate
Got it.
Mark
But was it first step? Did I have all the right tools? No.
Dan
Do you have a picture of your uncle's gator?
Mark
I can see if you.
Dan
Yeah, I would love to see that. Look at the classic, Donnie.
Kate
That is dog.
Mark
And then here's the car.
Dan
Oh, my God. Wait.
Nick
Those are the kids that beat six. Six years old.
Gaz
Those are preschoolers.
Dan
Oh, no. They're sitting in their car.
Mark
Yeah, it was a tough. It's a tough break.
Brandon
Wait, you said you didn't want to get the right sand.
Mark
You didn't walk down wetter sand for alligators? For sculptures?
Dan
Yeah, of course for alligators.
Nick
Well, why didn't you. Why did he just go get the wet sand?
Mark
You know what?
Dan
Practice day.
Mark
That's a tales old as question. As old as time.
Dan
Yeah, not really as old as time.
Mark
Could the sand have been wettery?
Nick
Can you find your uncles?
Mark
No, I can't.
Dan
What do you mean?
Mark
Because I looked, but I text him
Dan
and ask him for a picture.
Mark
He's got it only on like DHS or whatever you call that.
Nick
Dick Johnson's gonna want us out.
Dan
Vhs.
Kate
What does that mean?
Mark
Old camera film like pictures?
Nick
Yeah.
Mark
Can we get a picture printed? I don't know if it's digitized is what I meant to say.
Dan
Let's get a picture of a picture. I want to see how good his alligator.
Mark
Okay.
Nick
If I know Dick Johnson, he wants his alligator out there.
Mark
I'm gonna ask for the family album.
Dan
The classic is so bad.
Nick
Classic on what?
Kate
I legitimately thought the classic was an alley.
Dan
Yeah, me too.
Brandon
Did any of the other Johnsons laugh at your castle?
Mark
Not outwardly, but I don't know.
Dan
Definitely afterwards, when you went to sleep at night, they were like, did you guys see that?
Brandon
That's the Enrico's half of them.
Kate
Have you ever won this competition?
Mark
No, never.
Kate
Okay. Thank God.
Mark
I just thought after all these years I'd come back like well prepared and.
Nick
But why did you think you haven't practiced. Right. In 10 years.
Jeff Nadu
That was practice.
Mark
Yeah.
Nick
So why did you think you were all of a sudden no fault.
Mark
Blind confidence.
Dan
It also is making me realize that there is no such thing as practice day. You just started dog stuff and called the practice day.
Brandon
Yeah, right.
Mark
Which makes me think.
Dan
That makes me think that I could
Mark
have been better on real day if
Nick
and some six year old saw it and they're like, this guy, we're going
Mark
to build a car. Yeah, but who knows? They could have had help. I didn't see all.
Dan
How does it get rained out all day?
Mark
We just. The beach was windy and rainy though, so.
Dan
But there was not another day that you could have done it.
Mark
That was the last day. Well, not everyone got in till the end. It was.
Dan
You got to. You got to plan that back.
Kate
Not everybody got there four days early. Skipped out on the France game.
Mark
Oh, Mark, please don't start with France, Frank. Well, I was there for the beginning and my cooking segment, the Costco. Don't say that.
Dan
Cheeses.
Mark
Now don't bring. Don't bring Costco into this. I don't ever shop there. Nothing against them, but I don't seems like it is. Those were homemade.
Nick
Okay.
Gaz
What else was on the itinerary at the reunion?
Brandon
Any other competition?
Mark
Anything a little odd or nothing out of the order? I don't think you'd say.
Gaz
Did you cook for your family?
Mark
Yeah, we did a lobster boil one night. I cooked.
Nick
Sounds amazing.
Mark
It was.
Brandon
Any traditions that you guys.
Mark
No, this year was way more like. Usually it is kind of out of hand. This is the first year ever and brought significant other. So people were on their best behavior.
Stephen
Did you bring wolf?
Mark
No, I made that joke. I said I should Be allowed to bring Wolf if everyone could bring their girlfriends and. And boyfriends. My mom said that's not nice. Is not. Not allowed. But no. I got a prison bed. I got to sleep in the shittiest prison bed with my other brother that was single. And then what are you gonna do?
Brandon
You had to share a prison bed?
Mark
It was. We had to share a trundle bed that was. Looked like it was for prisoners, but. Yeah. No, that's what happens. Everyone else on their best behavior this year. It wasn't like Christmas circa 2025.
Stan
Whoa.
Mark
What happened last Christmas is a lot of shirt off. Wrestling blood.
Dan
Christmas.
Mark
Yeah, Christmas Eve call Christmas.
Nick
Shirt off. Wrestling blood.
Mark
Shirts were off. There was blood and there was wrestling.
Brandon
Was the blood because of the rest and maybe pants.
Mark
Too much pantsing and too much. My mom said no, not tapping this year. She was pretty strict on not tapping.
Gaz
Not tapping.
Kate
Yeah, she said.
Mark
And knocked that off. Which we did.
Brandon
Was it full? Pantsing undies, Cocking balls.
Mark
Yeah.
Dan
Love that.
Rico
Yeah. Magic.
Brandon
That's Christmas Eve.
Mark
Yeah. Until someone walks in and you wear a dun. With some. There was a dunce cap that had to be worn a couple of pants ins in a row. Other than that, it was standard.
Brandon
Did you just have a dunce cap on hand?
Mark
Yeah, we have.
Dan
We have a cone.
Mark
We have a cone. We have a dunce cone. I gotta get started on the burgers, but I'll.
Dan
Yeah.
Mark
If I get a picture of the crocodile, send it to TJ or the alligator.
Nick
Well, since you were around your parents, did you ask about Mark's jerseys that you owe him?
Kate
It's a great point.
Mark
I forgot about that.
Nick
I bet you did.
Mark
They're kind of. They might be losing it mentally and like physically. So I don't know.
Brandon
Oh, no. I'm really sorry.
Mark
Well, not actually. Not.
Kate
All right, so we should go get them now.
Mark
Still in their 60s, but we should go. We should get them before.
Kate
Yeah, we should go get 20 years.
Mark
They're in good health. They're in good health.
Gaz
Yeah.
Brandon
We have 20 years to get it.
Mark
My parents, the jerseys. I don't know, but I. I don't want the.
Nick
You should get them this summer. You should go ahead and get them.
Mark
Well, you can. We can get them together. I don't know if I want to do that with you. How about this?
Kate
Let's hate go with you. Let Tate go with you and document the journey to find them.
Mark
Okay, that's fine.
Dan
We can do it with the negotiation.
Kate
That was easy with Mark.
Dan
No, no, Mark does not.
Kate
No, Tate will go and you.
Mark
Okay.
Jeff Nadu
Right.
Mark
We gotta try. Yes. We gotta track down exactly where they could.
Kate
Tate's like the best journalist in America right now.
Mark
All right, we'll talk.
Kate
We'll just cover this.
Mark
Probably a summer activity.
Nick
Yeah. We're running out.
Kate
That's why we want to do it now.
Mark
It's probably the fall. Probably a winter activity.
Nick
You just said summer.
Mark
Because we have to go to somewhere warm, so. Yeah, it's the winter.
Dan
Wait, what?
Nick
Yeah, it hates to go somewhere warm.
Dan
I thought you're making burgers. They're not in Minnesota.
Nick
Yeah, they're in Florida.
Kate
He believes they're in Florida. Starting to think maybe he's losing it.
Mincy
Yeah.
Kate
Just lying about the.
Nick
He himself told that story with relative ease. We asked about the sandcastles. He said, well, actually, that's embarrassing.
Dan
Yeah.
Haley
Yeah.
Dan
Very embarrassing.
Brandon
But he was right.
Gaz
He's right.
Nick
I saw a point on the Internet the other day. It was actually DM to me. Donnie. Donnie seems pretty unassailable in guest of the year rankings, but Buddy Deutsch is going to be a problem come into the year.
Brandon
Gonna be tough.
Nick
It's gonna be a hell of a race this year.
Haley
Yep.
Kate
Oh, Buddy Deutsch.
Haley
Yeah.
Kate
He gave us everything, especially if it comes to camp.
Haley
Yeah.
Nick
Yeah.
Brandon
Do we have an update on that?
Kate
Can we make sandcastles? A camp?
Nick
We have the sand.
Kate
There's sand, right?
Nick
There was water. Not a lot, but there was a little. Yeah, there's sand.
Haley
Yeah, there's a little sand.
Brandon
You just gotta get the right pail.
Nick
I don't know if there's castle building sand, you know?
Mark
Yeah.
Nick
We could ship some sand in.
Dan
Kyle?
Gaz
Yes?
Dan
Are you mad at Zach?
Nick
Oh, no.
Dan
Did you hear what. What Zach's been doing?
Gaz
No.
Dan
Zach is six one, man.
Gaz
He.
Dan
He tells everyone he's five' eleven.
Gaz
I love that.
Rico
Why?
Gaz
I do that too.
Brandon
No, but what do you say you are?
Gaz
I'm 5 11.
Jeff Nadu
Right.
Dan
But to, like. It feels like it's like kind of a slap in people's faces.
Tate
Oh.
Gaz
Like, it's like, I go to a school in near Boston.
Dan
Yeah. Like, he's like. He's over 6ft, and he's just walking around saying he's 5 11.
Nick
Yeah.
Haley
Why is he doing that?
Dan
He says he.
Haley
He.
Dan
He knows that he's 5 11. He doesn't know if he's like, over six feet, but he is, so he's being humble.
Haley
Trying to be.
Gaz
Yeah, Right. I understand. Putting it in, like, a dating profile or telling people via text, like, hey, I'm 5 11. Then you surprise them.
Rico
Right.
Dan
But he just says that and then like, I guess he was at the bar and there was like multiple people who were 6ft and he was taller than them.
Gaz
Damn. I guess it doesn't matter height, right?
Dan
Yeah. True, true, true. It was fun night Friday though, Steven.
Gaz
Did anyone get to anything?
Dan
I think there were some. Some of that.
Rico
Yeah.
Dan
But I don't know. I left after the game.
Haley
It was fun though. It was a perfect. It was like perfect night. It was so pretty at the stadium too. And like. Yeah, it was good.
Dan
I didn't like that the white boy, Rick, I think probably Stephen J. Made him tweet it. Being like, look how locked in he is with like two outs to go down three. Leaving out the context that Stephen Shea bet the Cubs plus two and a half.
Stephen
Yeah.
Kate
So he did.
Stephen
He didn't know that.
Dan
Bet for the Cubs to lose, basically.
Nick
Yeah.
Stephen
No, then they could win.
Dan
Yeah, I know. But if they. If they lose by two, you're happy.
Stephen
Not necess happy, but.
Dan
Well, yeah. You won your back.
Nick
You are locked in.
Stephen
Yeah. Me and Doug are betting next batter and stuff. It's fun.
Dan
It's a good time. We had.
Brandon
The rooftops are sick.
Dan
Yeah. Is that for some reason? We've done it two years in a row and it's like it always just. There's a nice squat. It's just me, Titus, Big T and Ebo. Two years in a row in the back. Yeah, we just ended up just hanging out.
Kate
Yeah.
Dan
Having a great time.
Kate
I did the228 challenge successfully.
Gaz
Two beers.
Kate
Two beers, two hot dogs. Eight innings.
Stan
Love.
Brandon
That's impressive.
Dan
Oh, I guess I did the 228 as well.

Brandon
Delicious.
Kate
Can someone fill me in on what's going on with Bush? Yeah, I saw there was drama. I. I can't make sense of it. I never can. I love all those boys.
Brandon
These boys are lightning rods for heat.
Kate
Yeah.
Nick
Dave Portnoy said on web this morning his words, not mine. They are close to being shut down. But Sass. So Sass tweeted about Austin the other day and said you're going to be a full. Going back to full time assistant. Is there actual beef there? Are they play? I don't seems like it.
Brandon
I don't know if it's real.
Haley
So Austin, right?
Brandon
Yes.
Haley
He is kind of in control of the finances of Bush Gaming.
Brandon
No.
Tate
Was.
Nick
He's washed his hands of it.
Haley
Oh, he's washed his hands of it now. Now. And so then after they lost, I guess he kind of snarkily tweeted GG like good game.
Mincy
Right.
Dan
Blah blah.
Haley
And so that's when Sass was like right back at him. GG go back to being or something like that.
Dan
Go back to full time assistant. Yeesh.
Kate
Wow.
Dan
So I also.
Brandon
But the coach is also mad at the players.
Dan
Yeah. I think they all were turning on each other.
Haley
Mad at everyone.
Brandon
It's been very fun.
Gaz
This is better case scenario than them just doing well.
Brandon
It seems like the real issue was there was no practice.
Dan
No practice, no scrims. Yep.
Brandon
Scrimmage.
Dan
Yes. Some of the shorthand I don't follow very well.
Brandon
Same but.
Haley
So Austin's not involved at all anymore. Was that his choice or was that.
Dan
That was his choice a couple weeks ago.
Brandon
I think they chalked scrims with faze yesterday which.
Tate
So that was after.
Brandon
Oh, that was bait to do after
Mincy
they had been eliminated from the challengers league, which is like the minor leagues. Essentially the. One of the pro teams that was still in the pro finals was gonna use them as practice scrims. Yes. What's offering to pay them to practice to help them warm up for the final.
Gaz
Pretty cool.
Mincy
And they were just like, nah.
Dan
Why?
Mincy
I think they just didn't want to go and I don't know, it sounded like they just like, didn't want to do it. And everybody was like, that's bad etiquette from these players that are trying to make it into the pro league.
Dan
You got to scrim if someone asks you to scrim.
Nick
Tj, my hands up for a question, especially face. Brandon, I'm going to ask you. Is this a sport that has a season like. This was a season ending loss.
Mincy
This was the championship. Yeah. This was the last event of the season. Yes.
Nick
When does it fire back up?
Mincy
When the new game comes out.
Dan
Which is when?
Gaz
In the fall.
Kate
Tj, put this in. Put this in NFL terms.
Dan
Yeah.
Mincy
Team that was expected to at least make it to the super bowl, eliminated in the second round.
Dan
But not the Super.
Mincy
Didn't. Didn't make it to the conference finals,
Dan
but not the Super.
Nick
We expected them to make the Super Bowl.
Dan
It's not the end of challengers, okay.
Mincy
This is the. The highest level that they could have.
Dan
And there was a player that like, disappeared and went to the hospital.
Stephen
Yeah.
Mincy
I don't know what the details were on that story. And then also the coach was like, then like drunk on like a podcast saying stuff that may or may not have been true. That.
Nick
Wait, who's the coach? And there's a coach.
Brandon
Temp.
Mincy
Temp.
Brandon
Temps. The coach.
Mincy
All the.
Gaz
All the.
Mincy
Every card.
Nick
I can't get a permanent coach.
Mincy
No, his name is.
Brandon
His name's Temp.
Mincy
Good joke, though.
Gaz
So this seems all better for fanfare.
Brandon
Definitely.
Stan
Right.
Gaz
From a content perspective.
Nick
All right, all right, all right, all right, real quick.
Brandon
But it's the off season.
Nick
There's a coach, there's an owner. That was Austin.
Brandon
This was never an owner.
Nick
I thought Dave gave Austin ownership.
Brandon
I think he was in charge of financials.
Nick
I thought that made him the owner.
Brandon
Oh, fuck.
Nick
Okay, so Dave is still the owner. There's a coach, there's an owner. Jerry Sass and MOOC are what, 0% owners? Are they coaches?
Mincy
No.
Nick
Are they?
Kate
Oh, what?
Brandon
They're like the. The front facing the mouth? They're the entertainment. They're the front office entertainment sector.
Gaz
The mcs, the executive producers.
Nick
There's.
Kate
Players have no financial stake in it. Huh, I didn't know that.
Nick
So they don't play and they don't have financial stake, but they are the front facing. We're showing this to the world through our eyes. That's what they are.
Brandon
Yeah, but they do play. No, isn't Sass good.
Nick
They play not to this play on the team.
Mincy
They play the same way like we play five on five in the office after work on Friday. Poorly recreationally.
Kate
Okay. But this might be a good thing for them.
Dan
Yeah.
Kate
If this is just what they carve out for themselves.
Dan
Yeah.
Mincy
There's also a gm.
Kate
It seems like it's.
Nick
There's a what?
Dan
There's gm.
Mincy
There's also a gm.
Nick
Who's gm?
Mincy
Jace.
Dan
Jace?
Nick
Who's that?
Dan
I've seen that name.
Gaz
Yeah, me too.
Mincy
He's been in the office.
Nick
I, I, I, I just, I'm not.
Brandon
I, I think are maybe our numbers and Jerry.
Tate
Cool.
Dan
Yeah. No numbers is Jerry.
Gaz
Yeah, that is a guy.
Dan
Numbers DM me yesterday.
Brandon
What did numbers do?
Nick
Numbers doesn't have your number.
Dan
He said, hey, I've never met him. I would happily give him my number. He said, hey, Dan, this is Nick, Jerry's friend. We spoke on the phone a couple times before. I don't know if you remember me. I'm the guy who Jerry tried to hook up with Hannah. And you shut it down immediately. Understandably so, but still hurt a bit recently. Saw your interview with Tony Romo. I don't know if you know this, but I am his number one supporter. I was thinking maybe to make it sting a little less, you could send him a text and tell him I said hello. Maybe set up a meet and greet phone number call from.
Brandon
Oh, he is Jerry.
Dan
He's Jerry.
Nick
That's okay.
Dan
He's Jerry to the point where.
Jeff Nadu
Yeah.
Dan
He thinks that whoever I interview, I now am in good enough friends. I can be like, hey, I get your number one supporter.
Nick
I'd like to set up a meet and greet.
Dan
Can I give him your number? Oh, he's on the prowl.
Gaz
Yeah,
Haley
no, he's just playing for bush.
Brandon
I saw somebody dressed up as a fairy in the venue. Shoot me a dm.
Kate
Yeah, he's good.
Brandon
Yeah, I saw they tweeted out Family Feud this Thursday.
Kate
Easy.
Nick
Brandon is Thursday or tomorrow, so 23rd.
Dan
Oh, it is Thursday. It was the 21st for some reason. Celebrity Family Feud. Me and my family are going to be playing for the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas.

Dan
So I miss Stu. I can't wait for back in the mix.

Brandon
It's really good.

Gaz
On Largest podcast.
Dan
Oh, he can eat. The guy can eat. He's gone to Eaters Anonymous like three times.
Nick
They're beating it every time.
Dan
Every single time. Every single time.
Haley

All right, World cup, what do you want to talk about?
Stephen
I told Zah when I got in here, I think I'm out on soccer. It was.
Nick
Coverage was great.
Stephen
Coverage was great. The product was.
Dan
What did I say right before that game? Did I not call it?
Stan
He's like, all of America's gonna quit it.
Dan
I was like. I was like. Right before the game, I was like, there's a really good chance that Spain makes everyone hate soccer.
Stan
And we had the whole country too.
Dan
Yeah, that's what they do.
Stephen
It was so, so unwatchable. Like, kids were screaming to change the channel.
Nick
But it wasn't just Spain. It was Spain's dominance and it was Argentina's response to that dominance. All the flopping and the.
Dan
Well, that's because that was the only chance they had.
Nick
I know, but that's so outmatched. That's still. That. That's not watchable to a lot of Americans.
Kate
Oh, messy look. Messy tattle tale and tough look.
Dan
No, that's crazy. Gotta do it. Gotta do it. That's the rule.
Kate
Dude, goat dude.
Dan
You can't do that.
Brandon
You can't cover your mouth. That's.
Dan
Can't cover your mouth.
Brandon
That's like the number.
Dan
Oh, no. Spain was Spain. Spain was the best team so far. And away they lit up one goal.
Nick
Yeah, they are tournament. They made France look like that too. But right.
Dan
That France game was boring.
Nick
As too. But like that. That one Argentina guy when he had a ball going over his head and he was running and he just stopped so the guy would run into him. Like that was. That's.
Dan
Yeah, they got to do it. The housery. Yeah, they almost did. They almost pulled it off.
Nick
But the tournament was great.
Kate
Dressed a third place game, Steve.
Dan
That was fun.
Stephen
It was, but yeah, I did not watch the third place game.
Nick
Why are you so above this?
Kate
That was the most fun game of the tournament.
Dan
But yeah, what it's though. Do you not agree though? It's that you watch the NFL preseason.
Kate
Yeah, it's.
Dan
But yeah, like Mbappe won the Golden Boot because he scored the most goals. Yeah, that's.
Kate
Yeah. But if Mbappe beat someone other than Lionel Messi, would you care.
Nick
Were they gonna split it?
Dan
No, I'm just saying.
Kate
Well, it is, but this has been the rule forever, right?
Dan
I know, I know. I just think it's crazy, like the third place game, people, because they just basically stat padded.
Kate
I think I might be anti Messi. I think that's kind of why. I don't know. It's washing over.
Dan
Yes.
Stan
Titus.
Kate
Yeah, I don't know. I think it just sort of happened watching the final.
Dan
He's 39 years old.
Kate
I think him tattling. I was. I think everyone was like, Argentina is very unlikable, but at least they have Messi. And then I was watching in the final mess.
Dan
Great. Sir, he had to. Is that standard Z?
Kate
Imagine another goat doing that.
Dan
He had to. They were so outmatched.
Nick
Michael Jordan.
Kate
Yeah. MJ be like, sir, he dressed.
Stan
No, Denny. It's the first time it's been.
Kate
I was like, wait a second.
Gaz
Yeah.
Stan
It was in response to a. A Vinicious Jr. Racism incident.
Brandon
So, like, every soccer fan was like, that's a move.
Dan
You don't normally see that.
Rico
It.
Stan
It was the first time. First time we've seen it pretty much this tournament was.
Dan
This year was the first time.
Stan
The rule was the tournament was not even this year.
Nick
Did anybody get red carded for. In the tournament?
Dan
Yes. In the group stage.
Kate
Yeah, one guy.
Dan
There we go.
Stan
Boom.
Dan
That's what it was, Stephen. It was basically like watching a. Like a AFC north game where they're just punting back and forth in seven to three. That's what it was.
Stephen
The collision where the guy went head over heels at the end of the first half was so funny. But outside of that, the game was terrible.
Kate
That was funny.
Stephen
Halftime show, though.
Dan
Yeah, get the Muppets.
Brandon
That's a huge get.
Dan
Shakira and Bieber.
Stephen
Bieber was weird.
Dan
Ted Lasso.
Brandon
You didn't like that? He did a slow song.
Stephen
Yeah. Also, you got one song, right.
Dan
Was that not the most. I was saying this, like. Did you guys watch the beginning before the game started? No, that was the most. Most, like, obvious. No, duh. Tom Cruise is gonna in, like, introduce the whole game.
Kate
Yeah, we got double Cruise.
Dan
He's always like, if there's a global audience. Tom Cruise. He has nothing to do with soccer. Yeah, of course Tom Cruise will do this.
Kate
But he. He talked live. And then they're like, let's throw it to the. Yeah, the pre produced thing. Yeah, it was Tom Cruise again. It's double Tom Cruise.
Dan
Oh, man. So you're out on soccer, Stephen.
Stephen
It was. It was a tough watch. I had to take after. And obviously I'm American, I'm biased and I like football. I would rather.
Dan
It's not obvious.
Stephen
Clean shot. Clean shot. I would rather watch the NFL preseason Hall of Fame game. No, I don't even think it's.
Dan
Totally disagree.
Kate
World cup final.
Dan
Couldn't disagree more. The NFL hall of Fame game, you don't see even play anyone anymore after the first drive.
Nick
It's. It's useless.
Dan
It's not even the first drive.
Stan
Oh, you're right.
Stephen
You don't play anyone more action than yesterday.
Nick
Not really, though.
Kate
I mean, but there have been. There was like super Argentina to get
Stephen
a shot on goal.
Nick
But Steven, there was like. There was a moment, like, in extra time, in stoppage and extra time where you're like, is Argentina gonna fucking steal this?
Dan
Yeah, right. That was the whole. That was the Draw. Like the game was bad. The drama was. Was elite in the fact that Argentina was so over outmatched and they somehow got to penalties.
Nick
And the Spain. The Spain goal was fucking sick. That pass back where he. Where he hit it back towards the field to play, that was incredible.
Dan
They almost got to penalties. Like that was the whole goal. Because like if they got the penalties, they could have easily won the game and it would have been like an all time. How did this team win? But yeah, I mean, it wasn't. I'm not defending the actual gameplay. I. I was. Every time they would just get it and they would just be like, you know what? Let's pass it all the way back to the goalie.
Nick
But this can happen.
Dan
Try. They'd be like standing like 15ft from. From the goal and they'd be like, let's reset. Let's go all the way.
Nick
It's gonna happen in the final, right? When one team is so much.
Dan
Yeah.
Kate
And it happens in football all the time. Yeah.
Dan
This is Spain.
Kate
Add football games all happened in the Super Bowl.
Dan
Spain.
Kate
Yeah. Super bowl is not good this year.
Dan
Spain perfects. Like. Remember people hated the Tiki Taka.
Stan
Yeah. They used to just pick from the same.
Dan
Yeah.
Stan
From same folks. They keep the ball.
Dan
To think they just. All they do is pass it to each other and they just keep it away. They play monkey in the middle.
Stan
A final. You're gonna do. You're gonna do what you have to do. Argentina had to do that to stay alive. Because if they tried to play like Spain did, they would have been blown out completely. You would have enjoyed that. But they plan to win, right?
Stephen
As. As a person trying to. I would. It was an appointment television. It was like, everyone in the world's gonna be watching this. We're all gonna watch this snooze fest.
Kate
That's so funny. The third place game was right up your alley and you didn't even give it a chance. Third place game was like everything you would have wanted in soccer, Steve.
Stephen
Yeah. I mean, if there were stakes on it, then I would have watched. Third place. Is that who.
Kate
Who won there were worse. Yeah.
Stephen
Are they going back to a hero's welcome?
Nick
Not a hero's welcome, but. No, but if they're better than losing. Yeah.
Brandon
They both went like.
Stephen
Didn't they. Didn't the main guys, like get subbed out almost instantly or pretty.
Mincy
No.
Dan
Bobby played like the whole time. Pretty much, yeah.
Nick
And Jude Bellingham scored in the last. He scored the last goal.
Kate
But what is that? Yeah.
Dan
They should put Stakes on it. It should be like, automatic. Qualified for the next World cup or something.
Stephen
That'd be cool, even.
Dan
Yeah.
Kate
Yeah, it was. That was an awesome game.
Dan
So sick.
Kate
So, like I was watching a video game.
Gaz
Nothing to lose. So is the takeaway that soccer is a product for Americans?
Nick
That World cup was great. I thought it was my favorite summer. Summer distraction in a long, long time.
Haley
Yeah.
Nick
It's including any Olympics. And that was great. That was a great month of sports.
Dan
Yeah. And it's on dirt. Like, that's why the one four years ago sucked, because they did it during December.
Nick
Yeah. I'm going to miss it every day.
Dan
And we're getting the World cup again.
Nick
12 years.
Dan
Yeah.
Nick
Not that I'll be around, but Chicago better get a game. It's Chicago. Didn't get it. Didn't get involved in this thing.
Dan
Good for it. We're gonna get it again, right?
Stan
Most likely.
Dan
Yeah. Most likely because of the whole continent
Nick
thing that they're massaging the next one to knock out two continents at 1A3.
Dan
Three.
Jeff Nadu
They're doing.
Mark
Yeah.
Dan
Doing a game in Australia.
Stan
Yeah. So South America for the. For the.
Dan
Oh, South America.
Brandon
Yeah.
Stan
The South America is the north grow ones. Africa is Morocco, Europe is Portugal, and.
Dan
And then they're doing the next one is Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia, Middle east, and back to.
Stan
Back to North America.
Nick
Who's gonna be the main host next time? Is it mostly gonna be in Spain
Dan
and Portugal or I would imagine Spain.
Mark
Right.
Stan
That's a point of contention right now, if I'm not mistaken.
Haley
Okay.
Stan
Of which who gets the important games and all that?
Nick
I imagine like Barcelona or Madrid gets the final.
Kate
Right.
Nick
I mean, it's not.
Stan
Yeah. I assume they got the new estate.
Nick
I assume that said Barcelona.
Dan
Barcelona.
Nick
Is it Barcelona?
Dan
Barcelona.
Gaz
Yeah, they say that.
Nick
Sorry.
Haley
I love that sports talk. Hey, you guys see Jimothy the raccoon with short spine? Yeah.
Nick
Talked about this. Oh, we did, didn't we not?
Dan
No.
Nick
Oh, we talk about Jimothy. We talked about Jimmy.
Dan
Wait, he's got rabies, right?
Brandon
No, no, he's got a little.
Haley
He's got a short little body.
Dan
Wait, he's got rabies, though, in the daytime? Yeah, that's concerning.
Brandon
Yeah, they're going to have to.
Nick
I'm not putting Jimothy down, guys.
Mark
No.
Haley
I'm obsessed with him. There's pictures of him as a baby.
Dan
Get Jimothy out of here.
Nick
What? You. You can't have been on Muang the way you were and now you're not on.
Haley
Are you kidding?
Gaz
That's pretty good.
Kate
That's horrifying. All right.
Haley
Oh, he's cute. He's.
Kate
And he's like, that's adorable.
Brandon
That's cute.
Haley
He's chilling with his family.
Brandon
Is he in, like, constant pain?
Haley
I don't think so. He's like, always out scavenging. The neighborhood loves him. Jimothy.
Kate
I don't like his name. I will say he is cute as hell.
Haley
But you don't like. I like everything about him.
Kate
Jimothy's a terrible.
Haley
As long as he's not in pain.
Kate
Jimothy is like a Reddit. That's right.
Brandon
That's an epic.
Kate
Mustache on their finger.
Brandon
Called themselves don't love Jimothy.
Haley
Come on, look, he's got friends.
Dan
He's doing parents. Parents.
Nick
That's his parents.
Mark
Oh, come on.
Dan
Are we not concerned that these raccoons are out in the middle of the day? I thought that was very consistent.
Kate
Is that a thing? Yeah, throughout the day. They have rabies?
Dan
Pretty much. They're not. They're not day animals.
Jeff Nadu
No.
Kate
I knew that. But I guess, yeah, like it's a
Dan
tell that they're out isn't always a sign. But it's very common for mothers to forage for extra food for their kids.
Nick
Seattle's probably a very raccoon friendly environment that they're not worried about being out in the day.
Haley
Right? What?
Dan
I ain't with the day raccoon.
Gaz
Hell no.
Kate
No.
Dan
They should be sleeping.
Kate
Hell no.
Dan
Hell no. See, raccoon in yard is perfectly normal for a Kinsburg.
Nick
Oh, yeah. They can do whatever they want.
Brandon
That's good. Glad Jimothy's just needs a new.
Mark
New name.
Mincy
Yeah.
Nick
Plus it's, you know, Pacific Co is west coast time.
Haley
Yeah.
Nick
Get up earlier.
Stan
I don't.
Nick
I don't be knowing. I don't. I'm just saying.
Dan
You're just saying to say.
Nick
I'm just saying to say, brother
Kate
Brandon, you ready for college football? You getting the itch now?
Nick
I am.
Dan
What was that clip today you were flipping over?
Nick
Oh, yeah. Dave was just doing his Michigan thing, so I just flip over.
Dan
Okay.
Nick
Ah.
Haley
Oh.
Brandon
Do you have like a bunch of takes prepped for your solo show?
Nick
I'm ready. I'm ready. Two weeks. Two weeks from today.
Kate
You're gonna bring the heat.
Nick
Probably gonna bring the heat.
Stephen
Titus.
Kate
Love that y. I'll be tuned in then. In that case, I will be tuned in.
Nick
Yep. Brandon Walker, college football. There he is.
Haley
Oh, elevating it.
Nick
What's he got on his phone?
Kate
Why is Minzy drop the order.
Dan
I don't know if this whole, like, elevator being down thing is a good idea if he's gonna sit there.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah.
Nick
Oh, yeah.
Dan
Lutman. That might have backfired.
Mincy
It doesn't look a good position for your ankle.
Jeff Nadu
If it's.
Nick
He's got. His ankle's on top of his broken ankle.
Dan
Should he be in your pain right now?
Brandon
He's using it as an ottoman.
Mincy
Broken ankle.
Nick
Are people signing his sock?
Brandon
Looks like it.
Dan
I think you agree it's a mistake.
Nick
Is that T. Bob?
Dan
He's so pathetic.
Stephen
Come on.
Dan
What?
Gaz
He is.
Dan
I mean, the. He didn't shower for four days. He fell down using crutches. What other word am I supposed to use in pathetic? Is that not a fact?
Brandon
No, you're right.
Dan
Like, I've never seen a broken ankle take someone down like this. Like, kids get broken ankles, and they're just fine.
Brandon
You're just. You're on him, and he can't do anything about. He's right there in front of the screen. Oh, man,
Nick
I can't look.
Dan
All right, let's spin the wheel.
Jeff Nadu
Yeah.
Dan
Give it a good stretch. Good, good, good, good, good stretch.
Nick
Yeah.
Haley
There you go.
Dan
Stretch it. All right. See for.
Rico
Love, you guys.
Mincy
Thanks for watching. See you tomorrow. Like the stream. Bye.
The Yak’s July 20, 2026 episode centers around the detailed breakdown of Jeff Nadu’s flamboyant and, by most accounts, ultimately ill-fated 37th birthday party, as documented by “Ohio’s Tate.” The crew dissects the highs, lows, myths, and memes surrounding the event—whether Nadu proved his reputation as a “ladies’ man,” the party’s chaotic highlights, and what really happened behind the scenes. Additional segments showcase the group’s trademark banter, with sidebar discussions on sandcastle competitions, summer banner raisings, and the dysfunction of Bush Gaming. The signature Yak humor, running bits, and lived-in chemistry are on full display.
This episode of The Yak perfectly captures the Barstool brand of comedy: reveling in the awkwardness of an over-hyped party, skewering friends and rivals alike, and finding the absurd in everyday happenings. The Nadu bash becomes a vehicle for dissecting insecurities, performative masculinity, and the eternal quest for digital “receipts.” Meanwhile, side segments—banner-raising, sandcastle disaster stories, the foibles of esports, and Cheah’s soccer tantrums—ensure a rapid-fire, laugh-heavy listen.
Conclusion:
Nadu’s birthday bash becomes a modern Barstool legend—not for wild party success, but for its very public unraveling and the Yak’s merciless but hilarious forensic recap. Whether it’s “suck” receipts, beef over banner day, or debating the etiquette of bringing in contracted party guests, the crew ensures that absolutely nothing is safe from scrutiny, and everyone’s foibles become weekly canon.
