Roan
Hey, this is PFT from part of my take a terrible call by the refs. A back breaking interception in the red zone. Brutal clock management. At the end of a half when the season has you ready to snap, don't break. Snap into a Slim Jim instead. Slim Jim is not just a meat stick. It's the og. Slim Jim is the bold spicy snack that snaps back. No fumbles, no bad calls. Just bold flavor that can never be sidelined. So if your team has you feeling like you're ready to snap, call a timeout and snap into a Slim Jim.
Dave
The act sponsored by Stella Blue Coffee 100 pure Colombian coffee. A good pick me up according to Tyler Hansborough. And each purchase saves dogs. Literally. Still a Blue. It's more than just great coffee. It's about giving back. Yeah, I think you can go go to the website. The ready to drink cans are here.
Nick
Great work, Roan.
Danny
See you guys. Holy crap.
Nick
The office is a buzz. And I think it's because you're here.
Danny
Oh yeah, I'm sure that that's why.
Nick
Don't be sarcastic.
Kate
Always a mood lift.
Danny
I'm not a mood changer, but I'm happy to be here.
Nick
You're definitely. We are.
Brandon
I was miserable.
Nick
You keep me on edge. I just can't be comfortable.
Danny
Yeah, that's definitely way more. Way more accurate to what's going on. So good to see you all.
Nick
Nick's back.
Dave
Yeah.
Roan
That's big.
Brandon
Oh yeah.
Danny
You are.
Roan
Yeah. Wait.
Danny
Oh. Cuz. Where were you?
Nick
Scottsdale.
Titus
Oh yeah?
Danny
With Rigs.
Brandon
Yeah.
Danny
How was it?
Brandon
You Got trapped out there.
Nick
You're just one another.
Danny
That's so nice.
Nick
Yeah.
Danny
How's Scottsdale this time of year?
Dave
That is a gay name for a city.
Nick
Scottsdale.
Danny
Two guys. Yeah.
Nick
Yeah, you're right.
Danny
One owning another guy.
Nick
There's got to be a gay couple name. Oh, yeah, you're Scottsdale. Oh, you must be Scottsdale.
Danny
There we go. What's going on in Scottsdale?
Nick
Spring training.
Danny
I've heard people disparaging Scottsdale recently and I do not like it.
Brandon
I think it's a lot of saying what's.
Titus
What's. What's not to like.
Danny
I think they're saying that it's one. One of. They're pairing it with Austin, Nashville and one other city as like completely fair.
Dave
The overrated do she transplants.
Danny
The douchey transplant. Overrated cities.
Kate
A lot of bachelor bachelorette party.
Danny
Yeah.
Kate
Yeah.
Dave
But what the is going on in Phoenix? The city of Phoenix. Close your eyes and try to picture Phoenix.
Nick
Yeah. What's a landmark?
Dave
I've never even seen someone posted there in a picture.
Nick
If you're a tourist, where do you go in Phoenix?
Dave
Who's going actual city of Phoenix?
Nick
I've never been.
Dave
You go to Scottdale? I guess. Have you heard of anyone go. I'm going to do a long weekend in Phoenix proper.
Kate
Went to Phoenix to check it out and ended up dipping to Scottsdale.
Titus
Right.
Kate
I did the baseball stadium. I did a baseball game.
Nick
Okay.
Kate
But drove around a little bit and I was like, oh, okay, yeah, I'm going to Scott.
Dave
I'm not saying it's bad. It might be fine.
Kate
But this was pre, like, I guess not the beginning of the Internet, but I, I probably. If I had done my research, I'm sure I could have a great time.
Brandon
But is this fair?
Nick
He's doing that.
Brandon
Is this fair to Phoenix? I feel like Scottsdale became Scottsdale because people wanted. They just built a better version of Phoenix and then called it Scottsdale.
Nick
New Phoenix guy.
Brandon
Yeah, I'm just, I'm just saying Scottsdale, Phoenix are. Oh, you know, kind of the same thing.
Titus
That's fucking huge.
Kate
It's one of those kind of dead downtowns where people don't necessarily super live downtown. So on the weekends, like a Houston
Brandon
situation, like why would Phoenix build certain things? Because they're already in Scottsdale. So.
Danny
Yeah.
Titus
What's going on there?
Kate
Oh, what's that?
Titus
Golf course. This is you. Phoenix. We don't want to be a part of your city.
Kate
I did the Phoenix Botanical Gardens. I did the Salt river tube.
Nick
But Kate I don't think there's a city where you wouldn't enjoy.
Kate
Yeah, I enjoy. But I did kind of end up dipping and going to the outskirts of Phoenix.
Brandon
Yeah. But I'm like that. I enjoy most cities.
Kate
Yeah.
Danny
The fact that there's a Glendale in Phoenix and a Scottsdale.
Nick
Oh, my God.
Danny
Which Dale are you? Whose Dale are you?
Roan
Hey, Ron.
Danny
What's up, brother? How are you?
Roan
Great stream last night.
Danny
Great shoes today.
Roan
Thanks.
Danny
Do those propel you forward when you run?
Roan
Sometimes I don't really run very fast.
Danny
That's such a. That's like. That's the future of shoes right there. That. Like that. That slope that they have on the front of those.
Roan
How's. Oh, Nick's. What's up?
Danny
Hey.
Roan
Haven't seen you.
Nick
Yeah, that's my bad. No, it's the weather's fault.
Roan
No, we did weather. We did wake up Arsenal this morning.
Brandon
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Nick
We spoke.
Dave
That's right.
Roan
Roan, incredible job coaching last night.
Danny
I thought that were you 18 and one. Was it?
Brandon
Yeah, I guess you were a lot in one.
Titus
Incredible.
Nick
But you lost the last game of the year.
Danny
Yeah. That's all that matters. That I'm the Patriots.
Roan
Yeah.
Danny
I'll forever be forgotten. But I thought that it was. It was so fun. And I literally did nothing except for make sure J Will was high and that the boys were.
Brandon
Did a good job on that Jason Williams.
Titus
That was unbelievable.
Roan
Oh my God.
Nick
Those West Virginia boys are different.
Roan
I saw Black Twitter got a hold of it. We're like. He could have said it at this moment.
Nick
Which one were they talking?
Brandon
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Nikki Smokes
So are we. It ain't got nothing to do with it. That's right. They blazing. Cuz I'm an NBA champion. You ain't. You ain't. With a hairy ass chested.
Brandon
You ain't.
Nikki Smokes
Cuz you a. You got a we. You ain't got no mother. What's that? You got me up, cat. You got me up. You do this for this. I don't do this for this. This ain't. This is real. I'll knock your ass this real. But this ain't barstool. When I'm with it, bro, I'll you up. You talk to me like that? Cuz you got me up.
Roan
That's. You got me up.
Brandon
Hell yeah.
Kate
It's different.
Roan
It's something about it.
Dave
There it is.
Roan
Yeah. The. You got me up though. It's basically saying like you have made. You have put me in a spot now where I can't be held accountable for what you've done.
Nick
Because you have your fault.
Roan
Yes. Yes.
Nick
I can't believe you let. You got.
Roan
Yeah, you got me fucked up. And if I, like, start beating your ass, it's your fault.
Nick
The biggest mistake you made was you getting me fucked up.
Roan
Yes.
Nick
Don't do that again.
Roan
Oh, man. It was so.
Danny
I always thought it was like, you're. You've got me. Your perception of me is incorrect.
Roan
Oh, I thought he was saying, you got me up. Like, I'm now up to a point where I'm gonna. You up.
Brandon
No, you're wrong about me.
Roan
Oh.
Nick
So, yeah, I thought he was being like, I'm frazzled because of you. It's like the hardest. That's what I would say on the court.
Dave
You got me frazzled, man.
Jackie
Take the hardest way of saying there's a misunderstanding.
Titus
I believe we have a misunderstanding.
Jackie
What did Nikki even say initially?
Roan
I think he fouled him.
Brandon
No.
Kate
Well, he was holding his hand up, saying, Nicky Smokes was saying, I got a ring and you don't.
Nick
Which was.
Kate
What does that mean?
Roan
He won a ring for me.
Dave
Oh, he won the 1v1
Titus
rose toward him. Nikki Smokes holding up, looking him right
Kate
in the eyes and being like, I got a ring. That's why I got a ring. And you don't know. I was like, I don't know.
Nick
Is he Smokes a Heat fan?
Brandon
Williams won a ring for the team that he roots for. Correct.
Danny
And he went to the school that he roots for it.
Brandon
Huh.
Nick
He really loves theaters, so maybe that's
Kate
what fucked him up.
Titus
Yeah, Smoke said that. I didn't know that.
Nick
That's crazy.
Titus
That's insane.
Nick
Oh, he does have it fucked up.
Kate
Am I right? That's what I saw him. He was holding up his hand and saying, like, I got.
Dave
Yeah, he was taught. Yeah, he mentioned.
Titus
Oh, he went light on him then.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
Was Smokes. Did Smoke. I hear correctly that Smokes thought that, like, he was like, I have a
Brandon
legit chance before the started.
Nick
Yeah, this is your fault, big cat. How you've built a place where he
Dave
can think that, where he wins playing against us.
Roan
That was. I mean, it was. It was just a pathetic titan fest.
Danny
Yeah, I gave. I gave Jason Williams a lot of chances to kind of like, back off of that today to when he recorded and he's like, it's still Nikki Smoke.
Roan
Yeah.
Danny
It wasn't just the heat of the moment.
Roan
He was. Him dropping to the like, no one likes you here. It's like Jason Williams has been in this office like, twice yeah. He's like, I know for a fact
Danny
I've never said that to him. So he's picking it up from somebody else. Like, who is he picking that up from?
Roan
I don't know.
Nick
In the air, like, immediately you walk in this building, it's make fun of Brandon Walker. Nikki Smokes, bad guy.
Danny
Yeah. I don't know. Who's that?
Roan
Yeah, that stream. That stream was awesome.
Danny
He also was like, what did that. Who's that? Sideline reporter. I said, kate, she's great. And he was like, well, what did she mean when she said she's not a real woman?
Brandon
No.
Dave
He thought, no.
Roan
Well, yeah, because after that heated moment, Kate went up and Jason Williams was like, don't bring a woman around me right now.
Kate
He wouldn't say what he wanted to say because I was a woman and I was like, I'm not really a lady.
Roan
You must have me up. Yeah.
Dave
Probably didn't understand what that meant.
Kate
No, he didn't.
Danny
You definitely had him.
Dave
People don't realize guys like J, Will
Titus
and me are really like, oh,
Brandon
you never look shorter.
Roan
Yeah, he looked so short.
Titus
So shorts. Look how short he looks. I can't stress enough. Those were the actual shorts. That. That is.
Dave
That's what you were.
Titus
That's what I. Yeah, that's what they gave me to wear at the time.
Kate
In real time. Did it strike you as these are giant shorts, or was it so normal that you were like.
Titus
No, they. They were bad then and they're worse now. They've aged. They started out horrible and they've somehow.
Roan
Yeah.
Titus
Even worse.
Roan
I feel a little bad too, because, like, you guys, the pathetic Titans would have been in trouble Anyway, but Kamari McGee was incredible.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
So I pointed this out on mostly sports, and I don't mean it to. To be mean to Kamari McGee, but like, he. He didn't have that great of a college career.
Roan
No, I mean, he was. He was significant. He was.
Titus
My point is, is like the levels to basketball players are insane.
Roan
Six points a game.
Titus
He averaged six points a game at Wisconsin.
Roan
Yeah.
Titus
And last night he was unconscious.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
Literally against 15 guys. He's just dribbling through them, like toying with them, but also like, fundamentally sound at the same time. Getting his shot also.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
For the record, I think I texted him at 5:15 and was like, can you do this? Yeah, tape. And then I was connected him and Tate was like, can you be here by 6:15? So he literally just dropped whatever he was doing and came and just beat 15 dudes.
Dave
He probably Had a blast.
Roan
He always said he was the best time.
Kate
Yeah.
Danny
Him and Doug Eater running like a trap. Like you. They're like both like about six feet, maybe like a shade under if you average it. But they're just. Every passing lane was there. They're just like so. Yeah. Their hands are so active. They're so big and space.
Nick
And what's their gap to them to Jason Williams?
Roan
Immensely.
Nick
Right?
Brandon
Yeah.
Dave
Yeah.
Nick
So like the boys confidence that work here. They have to be rat. We need barstool camp bad.
Danny
Yeah. They need to get Max. Was losing it the most?
Roan
Well, there was no organization on the team. Joe's none.
Danny
Yeah. Yeah. Who's that? Who's that fault too?
Roan
I don't know. I mean, I think PFT was trying, but then we also have a bunch of guys who think they know what they're doing.
Nick
Like White Sox Dave.
Roan
Yeah, White Sox Dave. The ending clip might have turned it off. It was the most white. Like the whole thing is over.
Brandon
He took the mic from Kate.
Kate
Yeah.
Roan
And he's just screaming for no reason about God knows what.
Kate
I didn't even know what he was mad about because he was so.
Titus
I haven't seen this. No.
Roan
Did you find it?
Jackie
I. I tweeted it.
Brandon
Yeah. It's just a.
Roan
It's at the very end of the stream.
Brandon
It's about him and he's mad.
Roan
Right after they won a very successful stream. Like 35, 000 people watching live, three hours long. White Sox Dave really wasn't part of it. Like, he was part of it, but it wasn't.
Kate
That's why I didn't get why he was mad.
Roan
Yeah, we didn't see him a lot. He doesn't really play basketball.
Kate
Excellent after dark stream. Even though the guys are still screaming.
Roan
Hold on.
Kate
Timeout, guys.
Brandon
You won.
Nikki Smokes
Well then.
Danny
Okay, okay, okay. Because I was gonna get it to do.
Nikki Smokes
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Danny
Cause you started looking at me like,
Nikki Smokes
give me the ball.
Brandon
You took the mic.
Nikki Smokes
He was demanding the ball. I was listening to the ball.
Kate
Thank you.
Roan
That was it. That was the end of the stream.
Titus
What's he angry about?
Nick
Used to be like that every day.
Roan
Yeah.
Kate
Yeah.
Titus
Who were the main characters on the. The Joe side? Dana who stood out.
Roan
Dana stood out because it felt. Felt like Dana. He just kept on getting fatter somehow.
Brandon
I don't know really?
Nikki Smokes
What?
Brandon
What?
Roan
Like it was. Yeah, it was just cuz, like he looked heavy. And then he took off his shirt. And he was also like missing a couple, like, easy layups. Nikki smokes obviously. Main character always through his shoes at the end. Yeah. The strategy of the Joes being like, we're only gonna shoot twos. The thing we suck at when we have a significant man advantage was so bizarre to me.
Nick
I.
Roan
They can't shoot.
Max
I will stick up for. I thought the strategy worked when it was like, 15 on 5, but then when it started whittling down.
Brandon
And it never worked.
Roan
No.
Nick
Did you guys win when it was 15 on 5?
Max
We had no chances against them on the inside.
Roan
Of course you got good shots. It was 15 on five. It's making the shot right.
Max
But we would not have gotten.
Roan
We got a lot of open looks.
Max
We would have not.
Brandon
There was one side for good.
Max
Anytime we got the ball automatically turned.
Brandon
There was one time, I believe it was 15 on three. They got a rebound, and they start to turn up the court. Tate says, go. We got numbers. It's 15 on 3.
Danny
You always have numbers. Every layer of the floor, there are numbers.
Roan
Every shot is a good shot because you're open. You just. I said this to you before, Stephen, in the cave, because you were. You were pretty. You're pretty optimistic.
Max
Yeah.
Roan
And I was like, we can't shoot.
Max
We were very close to winning eight on five, I believe. And then after that, the wheels just fell off.
Roan
But if you were like, I know, obviously maybe feel different playing in it from a viewer's perspective, any. They were going at, like, 75 max. And then whenever it got closer, like, oh, yeah, we'll just turn it up a little bit.
Titus
Yeah.
Roan
And then we'll definitely win.
Titus
Yeah.
Roan
You could feel that there was just a lot of coasting, and then like, oh, fuck, it's five.
Brandon
Five.
Roan
All right, we'll win this game.
Titus
I won't speak on the. The actually good players, but as a guy that was on the team and my first. So my plan last night was to not play. My plan. Cause, like, Tate asked me if I. I. I was like, I don't. I mean, like, if you want to put me on the pros, I. I think it might be funny if you just put me on the end of the bench. That's what I did best. I'll just sit there and pretend like I might come in. But then as it started to go on, like, I could tell, like, guys wanted breather.
Danny
Yeah, we needed it. We needed you.
Titus
I was like, it. I'll just get in there. But I. I made the mistake of waiting until it was like, five on eight. And at that point, it's just chaos. It's not Even basketball.
Roan
Yeah.
Titus
So I think, like, from my perspective, and I talked to the guys on the team, you're, you're, you're kind of coasting because you, you don't even really know what to do. Like, every instinct you have, a basketball player, you just throw out the window of, like, where you're supposed to go on the floor, how you're supposed to handle the double team. So you're just kind of floating around. And then I think, yeah, when the games got close, that's when, like, Brandon Paul and Kamari McGee were both just like, it. I'm just going to take over.
Roan
It was just.
Titus
And not try to pass the ball or anything else.
Roan
And as long as they get the ball in bounds, it was. Yeah, it would get a good shot.
Danny
It was 15 to 3, and I think we were losing. At one point. We were 15 on three, and we were losing. And I took a timeout, and I was like, all right, let's, like, run some kind of, like, like, screen at the top of the key. And they're like, you, we can't run anything. There's nothing to run. There's no plays. There's no action.
Titus
Your instincts as a basketball player is like, let's work for a good shot. Let's take the ball to this part of the floor. Let's. It's just like realizing it's like the chaos.
Danny
It's like the Japanese videos where, like, two players playing against a hundred little kids.
Nick
Yeah.
Roan
There was a moment like that where they were trying. I think Jason Williams was throwing the ball into Marshall Henderson, and we had, like, eight pathetic Titans just standing over Marshall Henderson.
Danny
Pathetic Titans come from kb.
Roan
He said, we're the house of pathetic Titans.
Dave
I think you said that. I was implying it.
Roan
I, I think you. I, I, no, because you had a hilarious riff about it, how we just have so much wasted size in this building.
Nick
Roan, you're six feet.
Roan
Yeah.
Nick
You're six.
Danny
One for nothing short. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
Roan
But we just have a bunch of dudes, I think.
Dave
Well, I think we're just like. They're average.
Danny
Right.
Dave
Well, with the, the confidence of a professional.
Roan
Right.
Dave
Sometimes.
Roan
And also, like, the IDEA that, like, 200 years ago this would be a house of kings. We're like, you know, Warriors. Yeah, Warriors, Gladiators. Instead, we are just pathetic Titans.
Danny
Do you think this is what, like, the 300 actually look like? Like, obviously in, like, the movies, like, they all have abs, but, like, is this just what, the 300?
Nick
Yeah, it was just all kic,
Danny
but
Roan
we have like, we have like six dudes over six feet or. Six.
Dave
Yeah. You guys are so massive.
Brandon
I said, wait a second.
Dave
Like, stand up.
Kate
I did not understand this. All I knew is he was pointing, saying, I have a ring or something.
Brandon
I will not let fake news be spread. I never told Jay will I have a ring and he doesn't. I said, I have one too and you want it for me. Big difference. Okay, that's just as bad.
Kate
Pardon me.
Roan
I didn't understand that you're trying to own him.
Brandon
I have a ring too. You want it for him.
Nick
Roan's.
Danny
Wait.
Dave
I think he said.
Nick
Oh, he's saying the heat ring is his ring.
Dave
Well, I think he was paying homage.
Danny
Oh, so he has multiple rings then.
Roan
He's got three.
Danny
He's actually got three.
Titus
And I have more than you.
Roan
Yeah.
Nick
And the one you have. I do too. Smokes owns it.
Kate
Yeah.
Danny
I gotta tell Jay Will that he's gonna be pissed.
Roan
But it was. That was a stream that, like, you could tell slowly, like, broke containment of barstool, where I had the people who like, don't really watch barstool start texting me, being like, what is going on? And you could just tell, like, even like ex athletes being like c. Which has to feel good for them.
Dave
Yeah.
Titus
I think. I think the more we do these pros versus Joe's things, the athletes are going to want to be involved.
Roan
Oh, yeah.
Titus
I think. I think it's very fun for them. I was a little worried, especially Hansborough came on here before the stream. It was like talking about, I'm scared to get hurt or whatever, which is fair concern. I was worried that some of the guys last night would like walk away and be like, that was a show or what. They all seem to have a great time.
Roan
Oh, yeah.
Titus
They all seem to love it. And I think when the last couple still sleeping at all, if you're a basketball player that. That we might reach out to in the future, like next year to do that. And you watch that. Like, I don't know how you won't want to be in.
Roan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Brandon
Tom.
Roan
Tom Crabtree who played for the packers said, do football next. Like, yeah, absolutely not.
Danny
Football versus basketball would be cool. Look at that.
Nick
Nice feet inside.
Danny
Oh, oh, oh.
Nikki Smokes
No way.
Brandon
We're counting that.
Roan
We got to count that.
Brandon
That's the cool factor.
Roan
We gotta count that.
Brandon
Capable of doing that.
Dave
Facilities who came out the best on barstool.
Roan
Can you find that clip of them guarding Marshall Henderson? Because it was so funny. I think it was like 15 on four. 15 on three. Yeah. Deutsch for sure.
Kate
I know. At the end, the Joe's whole thing was just get the ball to Deutsch.
Roan
Yeah.
Kate
He's the only one who can score.
Dave
I saw a chief makes him. He looked nice.
Brandon
Oh, Tate put one in Hansboro's eye at the very, very beginning.
Nick
See, that's what these guys are risking. One play.
Brandon
Yeah.
Nick
Like Brandon, when you scored on Titus.
Brandon
Yeah.
Nick
That's what it tweeted. Yeah.
Danny
But then the.
Nick
The.
Danny
The good thing for the pros is they had the redemption of being able to score again and again and again.
Nick
Yeah. But they can't tweet out that clip of, like, look, I scored on. I scored on Mike Cadence, dude.
Brandon
Watching Hans get in.
Jackie
Yes.
Brandon
Watching Hansboro drift into a little psycho T mode every now and then was.
Kate
Yes.
Roan
His eyes.
Danny
One of the last few games, he was like. Like, just maybe just like a couple runs. Like, we'll keep it short. And then by the end, he was like, a couple more like. A couple more like, let me keep running.
Titus
He didn't want to come out.
Danny
He didn't want to come out. He was having fun. I think he was just genuinely having a good time.
Roan
Yeah. And. And J. Will was so. That two on two game was so impressive.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
I know I shouldn't be impressed by it, but him just casually hitting every
Danny
three dice was saying it during the game. He's like, this is just like, this is what NBA players are. This is what, like, pros are. That just like, he's 50 years old and just is so casually. Like, if you were.
Titus
If you were to reminisce on Jay Will's NBA career, you. You might not ever mention that he was a decent shooter. Like, just like, he wasn't known as a shooter.
Roan
Right.
Titus
And yet he's so good that he could just casually, at 50 years old, after not touching a ball for however long, just hit everything.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
It's crazy. Just crazy. I don't. Are other sports that way or am I just aware of it because I'm a basketball guy? Where, like, it feels like the perception of the people on the couch are that they. You know, like, you see a guy brick three shots, and you're like, he's a bum. Not that, like, you're better than them, but, like, I think the. I think. I think there's a. There's a. A lack of respect for basketball talent.
Roan
Correct.
Titus
More so than other sports for some reason.
Roan
The only other one I can think of is I think people the way MLB Players throw the baseball, not even pitchers. I'm talking about position players, outfielders. I don't think anyone fully realizes that. Yeah, that could be like guys throwing from the wall to second base on a rope. Like, if you go stand at the wall and try to throw to second base, you're not gonna get it there. Yeah. You know, or. Or like from third to first, like 85 miles an hour. That's not a pitcher. And he's throwing it that fast.
Titus
Yeah, that's a good one.
Roan
I think those ones like, you're like. Because it looks so cat. They make it look so casual.
Nick
I think basketball's too accessible. It's in every. Every driveway. You go out there and you make three shots. You're like, I'm just.
Titus
Yeah.
Dave
Can you see a pro do poorly against the Celtics? And you're like, oh, he sucks.
Titus
Yeah. Well, I mean, Kamari McGee is a great example of like a guy who I imagine the last few years when he's at Wisconsin, there were Wisconsin fans at times where they're just like, this guy sucks. You know, like he misses three in a row or something. And you're just like, this guy's. And then you watch him. It's like actual crazy. Just average Joe's. And he's just. He's incredible.
Roan
Yeah.
Dave
Everyone's a bomb in the NBA. Everyone has gotten bomb allegations.
Titus
That's right.
Danny
Washed allegations.
Titus
Rome.
Brandon
Can we talk about j. Well's friends?
Danny
Of course.
Brandon
He just had two friends. I guess they're in their 50s and they just were in the corner hammering beers all night. Just. Just enjoying. Had a front row seat.
Danny
So one of them, he's like, seemed
Brandon
like the coolest guys of all time. Just friends from West Virginia, I assume.
Danny
He's like, my son lives in Manhattan. He's a model. The one's got a model son that lives in Manhattan.
Brandon
He did have a good looking glint in his eye.
Kate
The guy with the good hair.
Danny
He played Robert Redford.
Kate
Yes, he did.
Danny
Yeah. A little bit of a Robert.
Brandon
He's just rolling around with two 55 year olds just that enjoy watching him do things.
Danny
They had a flight out on a private jet this morning. So one of those guys is, I think ungodly rich.
Brandon
Oh, it was those guys with the. I knew they had a flight.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
When you said they had a flight. 10:30 and they left at 10:15. I was like, God damn.
Danny
Yeah, they have a private plane just waiting for them. I don't know who that. I don't know who. I think that that's A perk of having NBA ties is, like, for the rest of your life, you'll have access to untold riches and wealth. They just played Michael Jordan's golf course.
Roan
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rich guys want to be friends with J. Will.
Danny
It's so nice.
Roan
Yeah, yeah.
Danny
He has. Yeah. Insane little circles that. But that's. They were nice guys. Were they nice to you?
Brandon
They were. They were terrific.
Danny
Or were they.
Brandon
Were they drinking on whatever they could get their hands on out of the kitchen?
Danny
Yeah, they were luscious.
Brandon
Yeah. But I. I just. I watched them the whole time watching him, because they were actually, like, rooting for him.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
Like, I. I talked to him one time, said, hold on, I gotta see if he makes this. All right.
Danny
He gave one of the guys a weed. The guy thought it was like a weed edible, but it was actually like a weed, like a liquid capsule, like a fish oil pill type of thing. And he. So the guy bit it in half and it just, like, exploded all over his face like a gusher.
Dave
Why did he do that?
Titus
Exactly.
Brandon
Sure.
Danny
Why?
Roan
Stephen, what was the vibe like for the Joe's team? Not good.
Max
So it started off really good, and, like, Rico started the whole stream with a one on one and, you know, kind of got bodied, and it was just kind of fun because he scored. And it's like, all right, we got one. You know, every game it looks like we were scoring one or a little bit more. So it's like, all right, we're getting close. And then by the time it was eight on five, like, it became very competitive, and we're all like, all right, this is the round. We're gonna win. And we did come close. I think we had a shot to potentially win the game at 85. But then obviously, you know, we didn't. But as the stream grew longer, we all started just screaming at each other. And, like, Dana and Chief were, like, legitimately yelling at each other.
Brandon
Mm.
Max
White Sox day was yelling at everybody. Max was screaming at everybody. But I think that was kind of.
Nick
There was.
Max
There was two schools of thought once, you know, things kind of got down to it, and Max was of the ilk, like, we have to get the ball inside. We suck at shooting. And then the overall strategy going in was like, we gotta just shoot twos, do not drive the ball or shoot a one. It's a waste of time. So I think the. The differences in philosophy were clashing. And then also every time we did try to get the ball inside, someone either not shoot, miss, or turn the ball over, which led To a lot of headbutting. So it was. It was an interesting stream.
Kate
Yeah, Max was screaming a ton after the cameras went off. He was, like, still yelling, even over by the pizza.
Roan
Look to your left.
Nikki Smokes
50 dudes on the.
Titus
I about. I about lost it late in the. Dude on the court.
Roan
I'm out looking for Chiefs. I'm not telling you for cheap. Looking for you to someone.
Brandon
Let's have a go.
Nikki Smokes
I was just letting you know I was open. How does that help the ball? You know what?
Roan
I won't say a word. I won't say the ball was turned over because maybe the next time down,
Nick
Chief was letting Dana know that he was open. On what point of the. The night was this?
Brandon
Yeah, I believe this was before.
Roan
Why did we start taking off our shirts?
Brandon
I don't know. All the big boys did it at the same time.
Roan
Yeah, they gave. Max's jersey was way too short. That was mean what they did to my boy.
Brandon
Oh, T. T couldn't even put his jersey on.
Kate
He had to cut it.
Titus
He had to cut it when it was 15 on 2. And it felt like the numbers were so overwhelming. There's just no way the Joe's could lose. And like, no matter what the pros could do there. There's just no way.
Danny
And.
Titus
And we. And the pros had the wrong two out there. Like, we. You know, at that point the night I think even we started, it was J.
Danny
Will Marshall Henderson, because it was just like, those two dudes are going to do some, like, goofy shit with the basketball.
Titus
Yeah. And the two that should have been out there maybe were probably gas. So it's like, you know, it's. Yes, whatever. So, like, the night's winding down. You're like, all right, let's. Let's let the Joes win this one. And then Dana has a wide open layup and throws it to a trailer. And the trailer was J. Will. And the entire. The entire Joe's team just lost their fucking mind. Oh, I lost it. That was so funny.
Danny
Chief and Dana yelling at each other with smiles on their face like, they. They are both nice guys, but they're just like, you shut the.
Roan
Yeah, you're.
Jackie
No, you're a great stuff, Dave just being like. I saw he wasn't open, but I passed it to him anyways because Tate told me to. Like, how do you deal with that? Boss man said, yeah, we got it entertaining stream.
Titus
We gotta do more of those.
Roan
Yeah, yeah.
Titus
What would be next?
Kate
I'll say a quick thing. I noticed Blutman's Blood coming directly out of his skin looked like molasses.
Nikki Smokes
Really?
Kate
It was.
Nick
Well, he only eats gummies.
Kate
Okay. It looked like gummy blood coming out.
Roan
Strawberry.
Brandon
Yeah. Strawberries.
Danny
No, but his blood is like that. It had a pinkish shoe. It had a pink lemonade like look to it.
Nick
Yeah, that's the gummies.
Titus
Show us the boo boo Bloodman.
Kate
It sprayed across the court on the other side. I don't know how it got as far as it did.
Max
That was the combine injury.
Roan
Repeat injury.
Sass
Is that a redhead thing? Because Mook had a scab for like two years.
Nick
Yeah, Mook's skin ripped open. We had a stink bomb go. It was too stinky for his skin.
Dave
The stink gave him the scar.
Sass
There is another price versus Joe's in a couple weeks.
Danny
Oh.
Brandon
Oh. What?
Danny
Tease it.
Sass
Yeah, it's on. It's on. It's on.
Dave
Yeah, it's perfect. It's like the handball.
Roan
Oh, we did this last year. That one was tough.
Sass
That was dodgeball.
Roan
What did we do handball too? Oh, we did dodgeball. You're right. We had the hand.
Brandon
We had handball teams here. Yeah, that's.
Roan
They're gonna us up.
Sass
Let's get some quarterbacks.
Roan
They're gonna us up bad. But those are pros.
Danny
Yeah.
Nick
And a different sport, I guess.
Roan
Yeah. By the way, Roback. Roback active wear. Best fit, best feel. Spring is coming which means Roback's azalea collection is back. Your favorite azalea design in several colors.

Brandon
I saw Tommy Smokes run across running very awkwardly.
Roan
Well, he doesn't run normally.
Brandon
Yeah, it was. It was weird.
Roan
By the way, Stephen Chase's son is here today. I already told him if he needs his shoe tied, I got him.
Brandon
Yeah, nice. I'll tie that shoe.
Roan
I got you. I got you, brother. Still so funny.
Danny
He's a ball knower too. Who?
Brandon
He is a ball know.
Nick
You could just name somebody and I'll say the college.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's Very impressive.
Roan
He's a good kid.
Nick
I think it was Eddie. Eddie wants to use him as a phone. A friend for the dozen.
Max
Funny.
Roan
That'd be so funny. What's up, Roan?
Danny
I miss you guys. I miss you guys like crazy. We. I'm. I'm here for. Because we have the one on one to one later on today. It should be fun.
Roan
Yes.
Danny
It should be.
Roan
Very excited.
Danny
Do you think everyone's legs are going to be dead for that though? I don't know if like, if, if like Nikki Smokes won it last time. But is, are, are his legs dead? Did he get rid of his. Should he throw out his shoes?
Brandon
He's got to redeem himself though. I mean J Will kind of took his soul last night, so he's got to get it back.
Danny
He told me at one point last night he said I'm not coming tomorrow.
Brandon
Oh, he did take his shoes off and throw him as far as he could during the last play. Right.
Roan
He's. He's. He does that during basketball.
Brandon
He throws his shoes.
Roan
Yeah, he'll throw his shoes. He'll throw the ball. He's our most temperamental basketball player. Even in pickup.
Danny
Really? More than the all those other temperamental guys we saw? Yeah.
Roan
I just pointed to one.
Nikki Smokes
No, you wanted that way.
Danny
There's a shoe. I didn't see that score. They played a run.
Roan
Oh man. If they had gotten to one, that would have been.
Dave
Did anyone come out of it like, yeah, I can low key compete with these guys.
Brandon
Deutsch would be the only one. But he, he's a no too. But he's. He's a softer no than everybody else.
Nick
I don't think Smokes. His confidence can be shaken.
Brandon
Yeah. It has to have been. He was.
Dave
Did he score at all?
Brandon
Not very much at all here and
Kate
there, but not a ton.
Dave
I bet you could probably give the Pelican Six convince on Zion.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
And then Marshall Henderson slept at Mincy's house.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kate
On the tiniest.
Nick
On the smallest.
Roan
Take a picture of a sleeping man.
Nick
But like Mincy has been hosting people that are smaller than him.
Brandon
He has an air mattress.
Danny
Yeah.
Nick
What was going on?
Danny
I met Marshall Henderson yesterday and he was, he was the man. He was like. It was so funny that. Just like remembering the guy who was so intense during all of his games. Going up to that still image he has. Going up to the crowd talking his was so sick. And then he was like talking about how he like hurt his hamstring playing softball and he was so nice and like he still had some game, but, like, you could tell that, like, you know, he's 35, but, like, when he was getting dressed, there was one point where, like. Like he had been inside for a while, and then just like a puff of smoke came out of his mouth, like in the middle of the conversation, like he had already been inside. It's not like he just hit something. It was just some smoke that was residual.
Nick
Yeah.
Danny
Lodged in there somewhere.
Nick
It's like a corner.
Danny
Yeah. He just had a little bonus.
Titus
Yeah. I feel like if you asked him how the stream went, he would have no idea what you're talking about.
Dave
Yeah, I guess the pros also being very retired and high change.
Titus
I really think, think if you put. If you put Brandon Paul and Kamari McGee out there for the. For the 15 versus 2, and you told them, like, you guys win this, we'll give you like 20 grand or something, they would have easily won.
Brandon
They would have won.
Titus
They would have won 15 on two.
Danny
Yeah. Brandon Paul said he had two other basketball workouts that day. Like, he was. That was like the most tired version of him.
Titus
I wonder what would have happened. I kind of wish we could have seen it. What would have happened if. If the pros won 15 on one, would the Joes have had to just do 15 on none?
Roan
Yeah, yeah,
Kate
yeah.
Titus
See how long that would have taken.
Roan
Pass it to Deutsch.
Danny
The Loyola boys were sick too.
Brandon
Oh, yeah, that's it. Yeah.
Titus
I like the loyal.
Danny
Oh, wait, so that bed is in his room?
Roan
Yeah, it's that. Right. Deutsch might have brought it himself.
Sass
Well, I think Ethan slept on it. Slept on it.
Roan
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Titus
So that's the couch, Marshall.
Nick
That's a room. Maybe Mincy slept on it.
Brandon
Because, listen, there's a chance Marshall Henderson was so high that he walked right past that air mattress to the couch.
Titus
Fell on the couch.
Roan
Yeah. Also the idea Mincy might have slept on the. On the air. Right.
Nick
They were talking.
Roan
Be together.
Nick
Yeah.
Danny
Like a sleepover. Yeah. Talk yourself to the last second you're awake. Why did he tweet?
Nick
Yeah, that is weird to take a photo.
Sass
Gotta take a pic of this guy sleeping and tweet.
Roan
It's dead asleep.
Brandon
Okay. Did mints mean he has to call into the show or he has to call in sick? Because Marshall Henderson, you might have to
Sass
call in big cat to skull America.
Dave
Oh, I see.
Titus
Okay.
Roan
O.
Brandon
My mistake.
Roan
Yeah.
Danny
I mean, his. His time in Ole Miss was amazing.
Roan
Yeah, it was.
Danny
It was so fun.
Roan
He was such a demon.
Danny
Yeah. I was like, unleash some of that demon. He's like, that's long gone. That's a long gone part of me.
Roan
Oh, man.
Danny
I was like, unlock it.
Roan
It's got to be somewhere because I saw it somewhere with J Will and
Danny
Psycho T. Originally, that first game, we wanted Rico against Marshall Henderson, like Demon on Demon. But when we found out that he doesn't have like demon anymore, it's just like, all right, let to go get the win sent out. Brandon Paul. Who's sick. Well, how tall is he? What's he, six, four?
Brandon
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had to have him stand next to me because women were dming me asking if he was single and how tall he was.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
So I had. Yeah.
Roan
Good looking guy. Yeah.
Brandon
I mean, there was a time there when it was seven nothing. Seven one, seven nothing. Every single time we had to just invent to talk about until it got to like 8 on 5, 9 on 5. And there was a. There was a 30 minute stretch where it was competitive.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
But once it got past, once it got too many people.
Danny
There's a critical mass where there's too many. Yeah.
Roan
It is crazy too, thinking about like we didn't have a seven footer. Could easily add it.
Titus
Yeah.
Roan
Like imagine we had a seven.
Nikki Smokes
The hut.
Roan
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the hut.
Danny
Us up bad out there.
Kate
Got us up.
Roan
Oh, man.
Kate
You know what? I liked? You discovering that Jason Williams had a Mayberry tattoo on his leg.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
He had Barney fife tattoo. He had Barney Fife. He had Andy Griffith. Griffith. He had the entire cast of. And I just. I never knew it. And he said it was for his dad, which is amazing because my dad's favorite show was Iany Griffith show. And I would never get tattoos, but. And also didn't like my dad, but he had an incredible.
Kate
Yeah, he had a whole leg sleeve
Brandon
and he had the Mayberry sign like it was. It was awesome.
Danny
You guys are birds of a feather.
Brandon
We're very, very similar. Except.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
One major difference.
Danny
You got three rings. He's only got one.
Brandon
One major, major difference.
Titus
I came out so easily.
Brandon
He would.
Nick
He would never say that about you.
Brandon
No, we've talked about it. We grew up in very similar.
Titus
Me, an NBA legend.
Brandon
Similar.
Roan
Very, very similar.
Danny
Very similar guys cut from the same cloth.
Brandon
There can be one major difference of basketball building and everything else be kind of similar. Right.
Nick
You're better at trivia, I bet.
Roan
Yeah.
Brandon
Maybe.
Danny
You got a ring?
Brandon
I do have a ring.
Titus
You have more dogs antiquing. Yeah.
Nick
Did you tell him about your man?
Brandon
You're joking. But he came in mostly today, and he was fascinated by my trinkets and my stuff.
Titus
And he said, like, in a good way.
Brandon
Yeah, he. Yeah, he, like. He saw my Larry Bird. He was like, what's that? He asked about my Martinsburg, WV helmet.
Jackie
Spend money on all this.
Brandon
And then he said, how come you don't have any Jason Williams stuff? And I said, hey, it's at home. And B, I'll have more next time you're out here.
Danny
So do you actually have some?
Brandon
I have a signed jersey.
Danny
Really?
Jackie
Huh.
Roan
That counts?
Danny
Yeah, it counts.
Brandon
Yeah.
Danny
I just saw Danny in New York.
Nick
What was Danny doing out there?
Danny
And it was sightseeing.
Jackie
Weren't you Empire State? I was on the Empire State Building, and there was a. We're on the top floor, and there was a lady. Her scarf fell off, went in the air, wrapped around a heat lamp.
Brandon
We were like, whoa.
Jackie
Oh, could we be witnessing history right now? Unfortunately, we didn't. And they got.
Nick
You wanted the Empire State.
Jackie
If it's gonna burn, it better be while I'm on.
Nick
I'll be cool.
Danny
Was o' day in there.
Roan
I no longer works there.
Sass
What.
Danny
What building does he work for?
Dave
I'll tell you where.
Danny
Surely he works for another building.
Sass
For the Burrow of Manhattan.
Nick
Now he works for the city.
Sass
I think he. I think he runs, like, the boroughs. Communication.
Brandon
Oh, so he works for all the building.
Dave
The office of the Manhattan Borough president.
Nick
Are you friends with him on LinkedIn?
Dave
Communications.
Titus
Wow.
Dave
Starting in January of this year.
Brandon
That sounds pretty big.
Nick
So he went from building to this whole city.
Brandon
Mm. What's next?
Nick
The world, I think.
Roan
I feel like he's just perfect to be mum. Donnie's tweeter.
Danny
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Nick
Yeah.
Danny
That's a great job to have. I mean, tj, can we look up what the New York City budget is? I think it's like $116 billion. He's got to be rolling in it.
Roan
Nick, how much FOMO did you have last week?
Nick
Week on an unbelievable absurd amount. When I saw those bagpipes come out, it was. Everything was perfect. That the ref you had?
Brandon
Oh, ref.
Roan
Tom.
Nick
Oh, my God.
Roan
He's our ref for life.
Nick
Yeah, No, I was in Scottsdale for a 70th birthday/retirement party, and I was just not talking to anybody. Watching the yak.
Danny
It was.
Roan
It was quite something. I can't wait for Games 3, 4, and 5 a year from now.
Brandon
In Scottsdale.
Roan
Yeah, in Scott.
Nick
And then went 6 and 7 2.
Roan
Three years from now.
Nick
Okay.
Brandon
See?
Nick
Yeah, I'LL be there for that.
Roan
Yeah, yeah. Make sure you're here.
Danny
Filler brother in.
Brandon
What.
Danny
What. What happened?
Roan
We had the yug off. Oh. And it was Dana Vers the home by three guys. We had game one and two, and we. We brought out all the stops. We had bag.
Danny
Oh, I saw the. I saw an anthem. I saw the guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Roan
Sneaky. Actually, the one thing that, like, kind of went underneath the. The cracks is the. The acapella group was one of the funniest moments having those kids come out here. And they. We had.
Brandon
We.
Roan
We got a college acapella group for game two.
Danny
No way.
Roan
And they came out after the bagpipes. They did not know what they signed up for. Nailed it and then left.
Brandon
They were so good, though.
Roan
So good. But, yeah, it was the whole thing. We had a first pitch.
Danny
I think deep down, every guy does want to be in an acapella group.
Dave
Yes.
Danny
And there's a couple things in the way. It's like the skill and the perception of, like, acapella group.
Roan
Those guys in the Philly area that are on everyone's algorithm. We talked about them. Yes, that. Those guys. This is dudes, rocks. They're just standing around next to a nice Trader Joe's spread in their, you know, gap button downs.
Danny
Everyone wants that, but, like, there's just. No.
Nick
I think everybody wants to be, like, the deep voice guy that comes in at the end. That's the star of the show.
Roan
Yeah.
Nick
Oh, what a dream.
Kate
Who in here is our Soprano? Which are these boys?
Roan
These guys? These are my guys.
Danny
It's our high notes soprano, Frankie Valli.
Kate
Yes. Who's our Frankie Valley?
Nick
Did we say all these guys were gay?
Roan
No, I don't think so.
Nick
I think we came to the price.
Titus
Sure are.
Roan
I want to hang out with them.
Nick
Yes, you do.
Titus
But there you go. Rowan. That speaks to the perception, like, dude.
Danny
Yes. It's the perception, like, there's just not guys who can just be free and Exactly.
Nick
How does it become an Ivy League thing? Is it hard to do? Do you have to be smart?
Danny
No. I don't know. I. I think that just the way they carry themselves, it's like.
Roan
It's prim and proper.
Danny
Yeah. It's like a club that you're not in type of thing.
Brandon
I have an acapella friend.
Nick
Sass was in one at the Paul for, like, a short period of time.
Danny
Yeah. Well, then he left. But I think that they were. I think they were really good.
Nick
Were they?
Danny
Look at the time they competed.
Kate
The Wisconsin.
Nick
He Wasn't there for any of the competitions because they made proof that he was.
Danny
Yeah.
Sass
Sass was on Rogan.
Danny
What?
Sass
Yeah, for like point one seconds.
Roan
Wait, let me see.
Dave
Really?
Brandon
So it's him and Portnoy about Facebook.
Dave
Hey, wait, what? Yeah.
Roan
Oh, he's a giant.
Nikki Smokes
Oh, nice.
Kate
They're looking up something else.
Roan
Oh, that's great.
Danny
So he's on Jamie's algorithm. Awesome.
Dave
Yeah, that's what it means.
Sass
Down it.
Dave
Joe was kind of into it.
Nick
I could tell.
Roan
I think Jamie's a low key stoolie. I think Hank might have talked to him.
Danny
He came to a pop punk show.
Roan
Yeah.
Danny
And we, like, spent the night with him.
Roan
Yeah, that's.
Danny
He was so nice. He was just like the nicest guy that you could ever imagine. You'd never think that he was. He had the power of governments in his hands.
Sass
It's the goat.
Nick
He's a king maker. He could pull up anything.
Danny
Yeah, he could pull up anything. Pull up somebody by their bootstraps. They also. Jordan Jensen talked about Francis one time on Joe Rogan. She was like, Francis Ellis. She's like, oh, wait, no, I mean, Jason Ellis. So twice.
Nick
That's pretty good.
Roan
And really on the minds.
Danny
They're circling the drain.
Roan
Really close.
Danny
They're definitely circling the drain.
Max
Can we talk about Trader Joe's for a second?
Roan
Yeah, sure.
Titus
What.
Max
Where does that fall in the tiers of supermarkets?
Nick
Is that special?
Max
I feel like it's not in elitist, but it's also not.
Nick
I think it's high end. Feels like it's high end but not expensive.
Brandon
It's its own thing. Right.
Roan
I think.
Sass
Yeah.
Roan
If you go to. If you shop at Trader Joe's, that's kind of the only place you shop.
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah.
Roan
Like your whole pantry is just Trader Joe's.
Brandon
It. It's high end.
Titus
No, I'm the opposite. I'm a sniper at Trader Joe.
Brandon
You are.
Roan
I didn't know they had them elsewhere.
Titus
And I go, like, specific snacks. Specific.
Dave
Yeah.
Kate
Their snacks are unparalleled.
Titus
Oh, my God.
Nick
Thanksgiving dinner chips.
Brandon
They're freezer aisles. Elite.
Titus
We don't grocery shop at Tradie Joe's. Three things. And we're going to Trader Joe's.
Jackie
Would you put it in the same category as like an Erwan? Like, specialty?
Danny
I don't know.
Roan
I don't know what that.
Kate
Like a poor man's erewhon?
Nick
Yeah.
Danny
Yeah.
Jackie
It's the one that sells like the four of these.
Kate
No, no, but I'm saying compared to our one.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kate
Where a straw. A Single strawberry is like $40.
Brandon
I have done the full grocery chips at Trader Joe's, and I always find those a little unfulfilling. The best way is what Titus said. What's the best way to go and get five things, by the way.
Roan
Erewhon and aloe. Those are the two brands that I honestly think I like, try to dig into what they are. Someone come arrest me. Just be like, you can't.
Nick
Tommy smokes. It didn't make any sense.
Roan
Yeah.
Danny
I think aloe actually has just reached its tipping point.
Roan
Really?
Danny
Yeah.
Roan
I would know. I. I honestly, I'm not trying to.
Nick
KB's clad in aloe all the time.
Dave
Where like. Yeah, like.
Roan
Yeah, but you could.
Dave
It's. They're making too much. Yeah.
Danny
I think that they're. Yeah, they're mass manufacturing. The quality is going down. They're just slapping a logo on anything. Babies are perfect. Time to jump in.
Titus
The pores have got their hands on them. What is it?
Roan
It's gym.
Kate
Too accessible.
Danny
I think it's gym. Where?
Dave
Athleisure.
Roan
But is it. It's also like a physical location.
Titus
Is it not a store?
Dave
It's a retail.
Roan
Oh, it's a store.
Danny
It's not like an equinox.
Roan
I thought it was like a cold tub in, like a sauna.
Dave
Oh, they might have that, but it's not.
Danny
There's a store by me that does not have that.
Roan
I mean, everything I know is from following Sophie Julia barstool things.
Danny
Oh, she's aloe.
Roan
I think she was Kelly Stafford. Okay.
Kate
Okay.
Dave
Kind of my circle.
Nick
That's your people.
Roan
Yeah. No, this is not singing bowls. I'm intimidated.
Dave
Just look at that.
Brandon
Hey, you would. They would stop you at the door.
Kate
Yeah.
Roan
And Erawan is also a grocery store. Oh, it's a smoothie place.
Nick
That's Justin Bieber's wife.
Brandon
It's nowhere.
Kate
Haley Bieber's.
Nick
She has her own smoothie.
Kate
I think Conan had a smoothie there briefly or something.
Danny
Really?
Roan
Is Erewhon everywhere?
Sass
No, it's like Beverly Hills.
Kate
Beverly Hills. I think there's one more. Maybe in the Hamptons or something like that.
Roan
Got it.
Kate
But everything costs just an insane amount of money for some reason.
Danny
Huh. Before the blizzards in New York, the Trader Joe's had like three hour lines.
Roan
Yeah, they do have.
Danny
Which I think that makes me. That makes me believe that people who are Trader Joe's loyal are only Trader Joe's people. Because there's other grocery stores in New York. Or maybe they just really needed those Thanksgiving chips.
Kate
Not to brag. Did you know that women in Japan are paying like, a thousand dollars for these bags?
Nick
No.
Kate
Like the original Trader Joe's bags. I don't even know why I have this.
Dave
People are bringing those to the gym.
Nick
Did the really.
Kate
They're, like, hot right now.
Nick
Did the woke mob come for. Didn't Trader Joe's wasn't like Trader Jose's for their Mexican stuff. Trader. Didn't they use the. Change the names of the.
Roan
I like that.
Nick
I thought it was fine.
Kate
Yeah.
Roan
What would be the Asian one?
Nick
Trader Jo Jo.
Danny
Yeah.
Kate
I feel like they've had a ton of recalls lately.
Titus
Really.
Dave
To bring the vibe.
Roan
Recalls at a supermarket.
Kate
A ton, though. Out of Trader Joe's recently. It's, like, been a problem.
Roan
Can I just say, blatantly, like, I. I don't respect recalls.
Brandon
You don't listen to them.
Roan
Nope.
Titus
Yeah, I don't.
Roan
I've had recalls.
Brandon
All right.
Roan
Before Trader Ming.
Brandon
So what if it was ground beef recall? Ground beef recall. You don't eat ground beef. Right.
Roan
I'm just gonna play the odds.
Brandon
All right. Your car recall.
Roan
Nope.
Brandon
You don't even check what it is?
Roan
No, it's like one.
Brandon
She definitely check what it is, though. If it's like the brake stop working at 30,000 miles.
Roan
Yeah, I'm just not. I'm not recall guy.
Kate
Any Stu Leonard's heads in here from the East Coast.
Danny
I'm familiar with their show.
Nick
Stu Leonard.
Kate
Oh, it's. Oh, it's like an Ikea youa have to walk through a certain pathway through the end. Every section has its own animatronic show,
Brandon
and that's the problem.
Kate
So you. Well, they just. They just unleashed a new animatronic on the oranges. It's an orange that dances like. You go into the dairy section, and the cows, like, churning butter. Singing, like churning. Churning all the butter. And it makes you. It's an experience. You go to the bananas and monkeys swing down for the cheese.
Brandon
No, you're right. But the problem is. Let me freestyle my way around the grocery store.
Danny
Right.
Titus
You can't.
Brandon
Don't tell me. The only way I can go around the grocery store.
Kate
It's a specific layout. And if you spend more than 50 bucks, you get an ice cream cone on the way out.
Titus
Huh.
Brandon
Which everybody should just get an ice cream cone.
Kate
Yeah. There's shows all throughout.
Brandon
Yeah, it's. That stuff's neat. And the kids love. Seems like a lot, but it is. It is fun for the kids. But again, you can only. You can't go backwards no, you can't. You can only go forwards and you can only go in the order they want you to go. And I hate that.
Kate
Yeah.
Brandon
Sometimes I like to start in produce, but sometimes I like to start in cereal. Sometimes I like to start in meats. Sometimes I go right to the meat counter.
Titus
We've compared notes on this before, Brandon. It takes me three hours at a grocery store.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
To get five things I love. I wander like crazy.
Brandon
I love it.
Jackie
Are you ever annoyed as a parent if they have like those distractions up in the grocery store and the kids want to go?
Brandon
No. Those are useful.
Kate
That's ideal.
Roan
Great.
Jackie
What if you're like, let's get a move on.
Brandon
Because you can say if you're on an aisle they don't want to be on, you're like, all right, well we'll be at the train in like two minutes. Just. Just relax.
Roan
And kids want to go to a grocery store. Then the minute you're there, they're like, let's go home.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
We actually have to shop.
Brandon
You need some things to distract.
Kate
You need some freebies and little cups every now and then. That's helpful.
Roan
You gotta open a couple. Couple bags while you're going.
Jackie
Just leave them in the car.
Brandon
I used to take my boy to the Wegmans in New Jersey and they have just a little cafe there. We would. We would shop for a while and stop and eat lunch and then go back.
Roan
Yeah, that's good.
Sass
They used to have a whole like kids area at Wegmans with like a play place, Jungle Gym, Nintendo 64. I was like begging my parents to go to Wegmans as a kid.
Brandon
Yeah. Ohman's rule.
Nick
Kyle, did you ever go in the Eaglet's Nest at Giant Eagle?
Dave
I wasn't allowed to shop it anywhere other than Reese. Oh yeah, my dad worked there. Yeah.
Nick
Yeah. I was at the Eaglets nest playing Echo the dolphin. You can't relate.
Brandon
Wow.
Dave
You had to play Echo the Dolphin
Nick
and the Eaglet's Nest?
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
I wrote my book at. What is Giant Eagle in Upper Arlington.
Nick
Really?
Titus
Yeah. I didn't. I wasn't a coffee.
Nick
Were you in the nest?
Titus
I wasn't a coffee drinker back then, but I. They had the little cafe.
Nick
Yeah.
Titus
There and.
Roan
Yeah.
Titus
I just want to get out of the house.
Nick
I love a giant eagle.
Titus
Actually wrote my entire book at a grocery store.
Dave
That's a good spate today.
Kate
Oh, the eagles.
Dave
I respect that.
Nick
I was in there gaming in high school.
Danny
But your dad was working at where.
Dave
Respects.
Danny
Why is it that. Why is this? Respect.
Dave
It's the name of Dave Respect. It's one of his names. It's his last name. Oh, second Dave respects Christians his last name. Yeah.
Danny
Got it.
Dave
Very regional. The Upper Ohio Valley.
Danny
Got it. Wow.
Dave
Yeah.
Danny
What was your dad doing over there?
Dave
He was catching robbers.
Danny
What?
Dave
He worked in loss prevention.
Danny
Really?
Dave
He was really good at it.
Kate
What was the most common thing stolen from the grocery store?
Dave
He never told me. There was like, he did like some big cases like. Like long standing, like steak thieves, people investigations. Big thing. And yeah, there's this guy from Moundsville who was stealing cart fulls of steaks like every day. Getting away with it finally took him down.
Jackie
Be tracking down people.
Nick
Like, how long was he doing it for my dad? No, the guy stealing the stakes.
Dave
Weeks, maybe months.
Nick
Your dad should have got that sooner.
Dave
And a really, really no. Make sure.
Danny
Is that like over a thousand dollars to a point?
Dave
Grand theft to a Ben.
Sass
Some stores will do that. They'll build a case.
Danny
Ah.
Jackie
Don't they have that weird rule where they can't hold them? Like they can only just chase them.
Sass
And I think Target does that.
Dave
So now it's crazy. They have biotech now. So you're like, you can't get away with it.
Sass
They'll wait for you to have a felony's worth of stealing and then they'll take you to jail.
Titus
I always heard that about Lowe's. You could just take whatever you want.
Nick
Yeah, like.
Titus
Like the hard.
Danny
Up to a grand.
Roan
Yeah.
Titus
Up to a certain amount.
Kate
You can put it on the wheel. Put it on.
Titus
Yeah.
Danny
Shopping at Lowe's now. I mean now it's probably the loss prevention guys are out of business because they just put everything behind a lock. Like cvs, Dwayne Reed, all these places. Now everything is behind. Behind a wall.
Dave
But he started in Jersey or Staten island at shop, right? And he said that was a different whole different beast. Because those guys will just say no.
Danny
Yeah.
Roan
A bunch of Rico's walking around, they'll
Dave
take something and just be like, yeah, I'm not giving it to you.
Roan
Imagine security guard Mike if he wasn't on the right side of the law, like having to.
Danny
He.
Roan
He would. I would just talk you out of it.
Kate
Yeah.
Danny
Your dad wrestling security guard Mike in a Staten island in New York. Staten Island.
Dave
I think he was like getting physical. Of course he treated it like a sport. Kind of was.
Danny
It's probably pretty fun.
Dave
You'd get up in the seat, thrill. It sounded like the way he spoke about it. Yeah.
Danny
He said he get it in the ceiling.
Dave
You get up in the ceiling. I'd be shopping for yogurt with my mom, and I'd hear a voice, Chunky, from the ceiling. Call me Chunky. You'd call me Kyle Jones. For some reason, I kind of stuck the dead.
Roan
Yeah.
Danny
The first name.
Nick
Do you guys see the Pittsburgh Pirates put out a shirt that just says hoist the cones, and nobody knows what that means. Everybody's trying to figure out what. Hoist the cones.
Danny
Yeah.
Nick
Nobody knows what it really means. Somebody guessed it was for, like, a promotion they did in 2019. And they're trying to. But it's just.
Danny
I know.
Nick
I need to get a hoist the cone shirt so bad, though.
Roan
Yeah.
Dave
It's just something.
Kate
Okay, wait, is it cone singular?
Nick
Yeah. Hoist the cone.
Nikki Smokes
No.
Danny
1 hoist.
Nick
That's what the Pirates fans say 44.99 for. You gotta hoist the cone.
Kate
HTC.
Nick
That's what.
Danny
Yeah.
Nick
That's how you know you're a Die Hard.
Roan
This baseball promotion season, the Mallards have a. They're giving away, like, captain's hats for the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. And people were pissed.
Kate
I saw that.
Titus
I was wondering.
Kate
They're having a whole night.
Roan
I feel like enough times passed. We could do a wreck of the.
Kate
Yeah.
Roan
Old night.
Dave
Yeah.
Roan
People, like, people actually died. It's okay.
Brandon
But it was like 50 years ago.
Roan
Yeah.
Titus
That's as far as, like, themes go.
Nick
That's a weird thing.
Roan
It's kind of a funny one, though.
Titus
What about spongebob? What about. What about
Danny
K Pop?
Roan
Please.
Nick
Yeah.
Roan
I. I feel like if you open up the tragedy, you got a whole
Brandon
new world of themes you can do.
Kate
Yeah.
Nick
New York Jets.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
A lot of out there.
Titus
Would that.
Roan
I mean, listen, the women's. I mean, the. The men's MLS team. Chicago Fire.
Titus
New York Jets.
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah.
Nick
What?
Brandon
What?
Kate
Yeah, there was a big fire here.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
I don't want a mallard.
Nick
Has there been a Colorado Avalanche that it was based off?
Brandon
Probably.
Danny
Were there any famous Washington Bullets?
Roan
The Miami Hurricane, certainly. Yeah, there's some, like.
Danny
Was the Washington Bullets. Is that named after Lincoln's assassination?
Nick
I think so.
Roan
And then they got rid of it after another assassination. I want to say they stopped it after. Yeah.
Nick
Remember the M, but with their logo on it. Oh, man.
Roan
That's funny. I added.
Kate
Remember the. If it was just Edmund Fitzgerald night. I could see.
Brandon
But they put their logo on the captain hat.
Danny
Yeah.
Nick
You can't do that. Oh, what was the school that did their gloves on? MLK for a Graphic state FSU did.
Brandon
Yeah.
Nick
Yeah, that was a tough one. You just can't modify things.
Dave
Urban Outfitters put out a blood splattered Kent State like.
Nick
Oh, no way I remember that Jersey
Dave
or a crew neck. Yeah.
Roan
What
Brandon
he's doing. Tomahawk chop.
Roan
Yeah.
Kate
Oh, my God.
Titus
I remember SpaghettiOs had a 911 tweet.
Danny
They did.
Roan
Didn't. Like there wasn't like a Hilton or something that did a.
Kate
Free muffins.
Roan
Yeah, free muffins for 15 minutes. It was like time to the.
Nick
Oh, when they hit.
Danny
Yeah.
Dave
Oh, no.
Roan
Yeah.
Titus
God.
Brandon
What was the SpaghettiOs tweet?
Titus
It was the. The spaghetti remembers.
Roan
To those who lost in 9 11, the hotel will provide complimentary coffee and mini muffins from 8:45 to 9:15.
Titus
It was the. The cartoon Spaghettio. The American flag. American.
Danny
Yeah.
Nick
He was bummed too.
Roan
Yeah, there we go.
Titus
No, he wasn't.
Nick
Oh, nope. He's licking his lips.
Dave
Pleasure.
Nick
If he was weeping, maybe.
Danny
Where's the mouth of the SpaghettiO? Is that all?
Nick
I don't get where. Then where's the tongue go? He doesn't make any sense.
Roan
Yeah.
Danny
It's just a small slit of mouth at the top. Or is the whole circle the mouth
Sass
or is it a big tooth?
Brandon
Oh, no, it's a circle.
Nick
Because it's an O. Yeah, it's.
Roan
It's.
Nick
It doesn't make any sense. That thing couldn't live. What's the most recent tragedy? You could have a memorial, like a. A giveaway night for.
Roan
It's a loaded question.
Nick
I don't think you do Pearl Harbor.
Brandon
That.
Roan
No, no.
Titus
Yeah.
Danny
Genghis Khan's death.
Nick
Yeah, yeah.
Danny
Probably enough challenge.
Brandon
You could do a Titanic night.
Nick
You could do a Titan.
Roan
Definitely do a Titanic night.
Brandon
Definitely do a Titanic night. Could you do the Titanic? The. The recent one?
Sass
The.
Brandon
The. The.
Jackie
The Explorer submarine.
Kate
Oh, the submarine, yeah.
Danny
Submersible.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kate
Ocean's Gate.
Danny
I don't think you could. I don't think anyone.
Brandon
Titanic Knight.
Danny
I don't know.
Roan
Those guys kind of were stupid.
Danny
Yeah, they were. You give out like controllers for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Roan
I watched the documentary. He was an. He just kept on firing all their compliance people. Clients. People like. Yeah, that's gonna blow up. He's like, all right, well, you're fired.
Danny
If he had died alone, you can, like.
Roan
Yeah.
Danny
In your own way. To stupidity. But Dar, winning other people to stupidity
Titus
is a kid on there, I think. Right?
Roan
Yeah.
Dave
But then it turns out, like, it's like the ideal way to die.
Nick
Yeah, Right. You don't Feel anything? It's done.
Danny
That does sound perfect.
Roan
Tj, I found the. I found the moment. Why? It's actually the time stamp. Yeah. Watch this. This is when I was like, this is just. Look at them following Marshall Henderson around.
Nick
I didn't even see him.
Roan
Perfect.
Brandon
Did you see.
Roan
Come on, guys.
Brandon
Did you see M's hard foul of that guy?
Danny
That was two.
Roan
Seven pathetic Titans falling around Marshall Henderson. Oh, there is blood.
Danny
Little raspberry ass blood.
Nick
Tate, stay.
Sass
Nick came up with. With pathetic Titans.
Roan
Oh, Nick.
Nick
Yeah.
Dave
I knew it wasn't quiet.
Roan
I knew it wasn't me.
Titus
Intimidating.
Dave
Figures.
Titus
But absolutely lousy.
Nick
It's a. It's a warehouse of pathetic Titans. Yeah, but that's. Tj, put the camera on me. I'm trying to go viral real quick. Want to point at myself?
Danny
Wait.
Brandon
Get the.
Danny
Get the mic out of the way.
Nick
Do it.
Roan
Yeah. Oh, yo. Yeah.
Sass
Like the guy from Rock.
Nick
Sass from Rogan.
Roan
That out, Brandon. We do this. American Home Shield.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
I got you, American Home Shield.
Brandon
I got you, dog.
Roan
You got me, dog.
Brandon
All right.
Nick
From
Brandon
breathtaking buzzer beaters to jaw dropping upsets, tournament season is full of ups and downs. But don't let unexpected appliance and home system breakdowns add to the emotional roller coaster. Seriously, nothing kills the vibe faster than watching your bracket implode or having your AC unit do the same. Thank goodness AHS steps in like the ultimate bench player for covered home system and appliance issues. Things like your ac, plumbing, electrical and refrigerator are bound to break down. And without a home warranty, you'd have to go to one on one with those expensive repairs. Luckily, you can team up with American Home Shield for a home warranty that can help protect even your oldest appliances and home systems. AHS will repair the covered item, and if they cannot repair it, they will replace it. Homeowners insurance is a good start, but it's not the whole game plan.

Plus, as a benefit to select plans, you can video chat with live repair experts to help fix home hassles over the phone. American Home Shield. Don't worry. Be warranty,

Kate
Don't worry.
Brandon
Yeah, be happy.
Roan
Warranty.
Brandon
Okay.
Danny
Yeah.
Nick
Nice.
Kate
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
Brandon
All right.
Nick
See you around. See you around.
Danny
What'd you do in New York all weekend, Danny? Not fun. Not freaking funny.
Jackie
Seriously.
Brandon
I just laughed. It was. I'd say it was funny. I just laughed. Left.
Jackie
We visited the apartment.
Nick
How's the head?
Danny
Oh, yeah.
Sass
And.
Nick
Yeah. You hit it off the beam?
Danny
No.
Nick
Oh, I thought I was.
Jackie
I was very conscious of them.
Nick
Okay.
Jackie
Going into it.
Titus
Okay.
Jackie
You guys need to set up a ring cam there, by the way, for every time someone gets beamed.
Danny
That sounds expensive, though.
Nick
You're in the hole right now. Right?
Danny
We have to make rent. We're almost there, though. We're getting closer to rent this for this month if people will. They could DM or they could Venmo Jackie. For access to the A lost episode or get. We're getting closer to it, but it's not quite there yet.
Jackie
And then my flight was delayed, like, six hours Sunday, so. Went to West Village, went to that records shop. Ever seen that one on Instagram? Revival when they got the characters.
Danny
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jackie
And all them.
Danny
Yes.
Jackie
What else did I do? Can I ask something?
Brandon
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Jackie
You know how they have all those hot dog carts on, like, every block on New York? What is, like, the drunk food in New York is going to one of those hot dog carts? Worse than, like, the dollar slices for me.
Roan
Dollar slices are good?
Jackie
I think so.
Kate
With extra sauce.
Brandon
Oh, that's good.
Roan
Because their heat used to get halal once a week.
Danny
Yeah. And I'd steal that.
Roan
Yeah.
Brandon
First meal I ever had in New York was one of those right outside the office.
Jackie
So you're saying you like those.
Kate
That sauce? Yes.
Roan
Huh.
Nick
Used to steal it, Ron.
Danny
I would steal pizza lunch once a week.
Roan
Yeah.
Nick
Like Marshall Henderson chilling out. Like, have you turned down being a rascal? A little bit. Has fatherhood toned that down? Are you still a rascal?
Brandon
We just don't know.
Danny
It's less so. Actually, I was. I think I put some beans upside down on Jackie's desk or something like that.
Jackie
Excuse me.
Nick
I put a. I put a Slim Jim in Brandon's hairspray last week.
Danny
I mean, it's alive and well out here because of Spider.
Nick
Oh, yeah.
Roan
Well, you're also.
Danny
You.
Roan
You've. You were a rascal for so long that you can now be a rascal by not being a rascal.
Danny
Right.
Nick
It's more.
Roan
Everybody's always on expecting it for you
Danny
to be like, what?
Roan
So when you're not, you're actually being a rascal?
Danny
Or. No, it wasn't Jackie's desk. She was filming it. Maybe. Who's be. Whose desk was I beaning?
Roan
You're beating Clemmers.
Danny
Oh, Clemmer's death.
Brandon
Oh, you just kept being in his. Right, right.
Roan
Yeah.
Danny
Yeah. Well, there's so many black beans around. We have a lot of black beans in that office.
Brandon
Why do you have so many black beans?
Danny
They are the best beans.
Dave
Yeah.
Roan
Beans in the computer.
Danny
That's a hilarious video.
Roan
All time. All time video.
Jackie
And then what'd you do to Tommy's backpack?
Danny
Fly nugget in his backpack.
Dave
Yeah, you're still.
Nick
You still got it, but it's like, tons of mints.
Roan
That was Pete.
Danny
Yeah, Pete. Pete Carbon filled it with mints.
Dave
100 chips in my jacket pockets.
Roan
Yep.
Nick
Stole Frank's chocolate football potato chips for everybody.
Roan
No, that was for everyone.
Danny
That was not. I don't think that was me in retrospect, but that's that boy who cried, you know? Yeah, that's always just gonna fall on me. But it's hard to manufacture it like other people. Like, you need to have an environment of doing all that kind of stuff.
Roan
Who'd you throw a cactus at 2?
Nick
Me. Did you put needles in somebody's seat?
Roan
That was Frankie.
Danny
He knew about that beforehand.
Dave
Frankie.
Danny
I did. When I first got Tick Tock, I did a video.
Dave
Borderline. Not a prank.
Danny
Well, they did a voodoo doll of me, which is also not a prank, but I did a. One of my first Tick Tock videos was throwing people in the office scissors and just seeing how they react. And I think that got, like, get taken down right away by Tick Tock. They're like, you can't do this.
Nick
Every. Every Friday, I would steal Rudy's space bar from his computer. I took it off.
Danny
That's good and harmless. Instead of throwing scissors, you got. You boys ever getting any locker room pranks back at State?
Titus
Oh, back at State. Yeah. The other. There's some mischief I think bordered on hazing, maybe at times. I don't know. A lot of, like, I. I talked about it on macrodosing. And then Biz called in and talked about, like, shouting people, the piss bombing, all that. A lot of. A lot of, like, bodily fluid and, like, kind of gay stuff. Yeah, that was like. That was big in locker room.
Danny
Is that. Is that all done now. Is that. Can you not be gay anymore?
Titus
I don't know. But that was like the go to was always like, put your. Put your nuts on someone put nuts on set. Like, yeah, I'm gonna put my nuts on your shoe that you have to wear later. And it's like, don't be. Better not put your nuts on my.
Dave
Yeah. So many balls.
Kate
Balls.
Titus
You're pissing or like, you're.
Danny
But like, does belt. Does balls even leave, like a residue even? Like, is it can. Is there a traceable.
Jackie
It's like a power thing.
Titus
I think it's.
Roan
Yeah, yeah.
Danny
Like you in someone's shoe, obviously.
Titus
So, yeah, we weren't very creative. It was just stuff like that. It was just like a constant stream of, you know, pissing.
Dave
It was a lot of balls.
Titus
You shouldn't piss.
Dave
We acted like balls had more power function.
Titus
Yeah.
Dave
You can only do, like one or two things with your balls.
Titus
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Roan
I don't know why this triggered, but did you guys see Dukes's VCU guy came back over the top after the piece.
Nick
His entrance to that video was unbelievable.
Roan
He was a lot of balls talk.
Dave
No, I like that guy.
Roan
I didn't see.
Danny
Yeah.
Dave
Yeah.
Nick
That guy owns dude prison.
Roan
Because the VCU played Dayton on Sunday for a chance to go to the
Dave
tournament and they beat them.
Roan
Yeah. And they own them. So if you find it. Tj. What Is his name not Jeff or something? It's not Jeff.
Brandon
Yeah. Here we go.
Danny
Yeah.
Max
Dayton, baby.
Kate
Oh, it's a grown man, you know.
Roan
Oh, yeah.
Brandon
To beat a man, you gotta beat the man. And you ain't beating but your little nubs off. Baby. Take that stinky little sticky, sticky hand towel and wipe your tears away. Cause you're used to having jizz on your face anyway. Baby, we beat you as almost as
Roan
much as Dugs bro beats off watching Heated rivalry. Me and my geriatric pickleball group could smoke your ass.
Brandon
I hope you don't have nut allergies, because you're gonna be tasting these nuts for a long time, bitches. Now say it with me.
Roan
Sweet. You know, that dude and his group of friends, like, had so many heated rival jokes.
Nick
Oh, yeah.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
Oh, what are you doing Watching Heated rivalry. Who this new phone? Not Jeff. Not jeffred Fruit.
Brandon
Not just Jeff.
Roan
Red Fruit.
Nick
Followed by a big cat.
Titus
And greer301followers.
Dave
Yeah, somewhere on a boat.
Roan
Dudes bro at prison. Dudes can't get away from him.
Kate
I just picture his wife, like, doing dishes in the kitchen. Being like, oh, Jeff's down by the lake. Yeah, look at him down there walking, making his videos. Making his little videos. Oh. Oh, Jeff, Jeff.
Roan
Remember we said.
Brandon
No, it's more. It's not.
Nick
It's anybody.
Kate
Oh, it's not.
Danny
Couldn't be more wrong, Gary Jizz on the fate. What does that imply that they just get this? Yeah.
Roan
Stop saying. Stop telling that 25 year old online you raped him. Please, Jeff, you get excited about your team.
Kate
Just because you and your pickleball friends
Nick
think it's silly doesn't mean he's still coming at Dukes. Even though Dukes did a career180. Yeah, crazy.
Titus
Dukes got out of the game.
Roan
I mean, Dukes, we. We on the. On the stream on Saturday. We. We. We facetimed him and it was like a moment. Oh, it was the game. Dayton scored with, like a second left, and all the guys on Dayton came on the court, which could technically be a technical foul. So I called Dukes. I was like, let's watch the last second together. And I was like, dudes, that's a technical foul. And Dukes just goes on me. We're like, no, dudes.
Nikki Smokes
What?
Roan
He's perfect and he's the best. Out of him.
Danny
It's the freaking best. What's he still doing? Lacrosse?
Roan
I don't know.
Danny
Lacrosse. Content.
Dave
Yeah.
Nick
Like, so he was born to passion,
Roan
being Wall street finance.
Nick
Yes. Everything's perfect for it. Speaking of people Titus loves, can you guys tell me how Greg was?
Roan
Greg was Greg.
Dave
Greg.
Titus
Yeah, it was. It was exactly what you wanted it to be, Nick. It was Greg. At every turn, he left.
Nick
I don't know if this is good or bad.
Roan
He left it all out on the court. It? Yeah, all of it. All Greg that he could give. He gave.
Nick
Could you describe to me what that was?
Titus
No, he had to be there.
Roan
Yeah. A lot of confusion.
Danny
Well, he stayed till. He stayed through the streams, right?
Roan
Yeah, he said till Saturday night.
Danny
Oh, so not Selection Sunday?
Roan
Not Selection Sunday. That was interesting. I don't know. I don't know if that's on Greg. That's probably on our booking team. That's probably on Jack McCarthy. Yeah. There's Greg.
Nick
This was during the national anthem?
Roan
No, this is after you won. Oh, yeah.
Jackie
I've been getting dms. People are so confused by Greg. He's like a barstool plant, but they don't know why.
Roan
Yeah, he's confused.
Jackie
He's an enigma.
Titus
Yeah. Bloodman told me that Greg went up to him at some point while he was here and said that when all this Is over. Which I don't know what that means. When all this is over, he wants to go back to being just him. As in reference to being green Greg. And I just thought that was a hilarious premise that, like, Greg pulled Blutman aside and he's like, you know, man, when all this is over, I just want to go back.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
It's been such a whirlwind.
Titus
It's like I've lost. I've lost sight of who I am.
Nick
He's burned out.
Roan
Yeah.
Titus
My loved ones don't even recognize me.
Roan
Yeah. They were doing. They were. He was huddling with Deutsch, but they were, like, lightly caressing each other every time they huddled.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
Watch this.
Brandon
They were hugging.
Roan
He was really hammered by Greg.
Sass
More so than maybe ever everyone else.
Roan
It's kind of like resting in his chest.
Titus
I love that picture.
Roan
Greg is hammered.
Brandon
Like a middle school dance.
Kate
I like the Deutsch rolled with it. Very supportive.
Roan
What are they doing?
Danny
The light touch is so finger tip touch.
Roan
He kind of put his head in, like, the. The small of his back.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
There he is.
Brandon
There's our warrior.
Roan
Yeah. He looked like Waluigi.
Nick
Is that a mustache?
Roan
Yeah.
Nick
When we do bar swaddle, Missouri next year, do you think. Do you think we'll get somebody's good?
Titus
When you.
Danny
What was green, Greg? What do you mean? What does he want to go back to being?
Roan
He was just green in one video.
Brandon
Did a video by a pool outside at night, and the lights came up and made him green.
Titus
His face was very green.
Roan
Yeah. So they just became green gray.
Nick
But he's done with the gimmicks. He wants to go back to the classics.
Danny
So he wants to be green.
Nick
What made him.
Roan
Well, no, no. And then he came here last week, and he wore a green tracksuit the first day, but only brough one green tracksuit. And then St. Patrick's Day was Saturday. He ran out of green stuff.
Kate
Yeah.
Danny
Two had to wear a different color.
Roan
Yeah.
Titus
He. His heart's not in it. When all this is over, people probably
Danny
didn't even know he was celebrating St. Patty's yeah.
Roan
Happy St. Patrick's Day today. Forgot to wear green. Pinch me.
Nick
You. You want to be. You want that?
Danny
Pinch me.
Roan
Pinch me, daddy.
Nick
Oh, did I wear red? The opposite of green.
Danny
Brandon, go ahead, pinch him.
Brandon
I'm not pinching him. He called me daddy.
Roan
Pinch me.
Kate
No, you're wearing a kind of St. Patrick's outfit today.
Brandon
I got my money green socks on. I got my one year friend anniversary of me and Hannah Montoya. Shirt on.
Nick
Did you get that or did she?
Brandon
I did.
Nick
Wow.
Brandon
Yeah, I out gifted her on our 11 year FriendVersary. That's why she keeps walking out. She just walked out here and she held up a bunch of sweet tea that she bought me.
Dave
Wow.
Brandon
But I stopped drinking sweet tea.
Roan
Yeah.
Danny
Why?
Brandon
Two months ago.
Nick
Two months ago.
Danny
What?
Brandon
Because I have titties. I'm trying to get rid of them.
Danny
I'm sure that'll do it.
Brandon
Why? Why was that dismissive like that? No, no, said it, I'm sure. Yeah, but he said it. Do it. But he said it. He said it in dismissive tone like.
Roan
No, that wasn't.
Brandon
No, no. You said it like it's not gonna happen. Like. Oh, I'm sure that'll do. You said it's sarcastic.
Roan
Yeah. Sweet tea will definitely give me cities.
Brandon
You were flipping and. Oh, you were flipping.
Jackie
He's our guest, Brandon.
Brandon
He was. No, but he can look at me. He knows he was flipping. Look at his face. Look. That's his flipping face.
Danny
I guess I was a little flippant. I guess I was a tiny bit flippant. I just think that you. The, the potential of a great man is in there. I was talking about this on Son of a Boy. Dad. Today I watched the surrounded video where the Jillian Michaels talks to 20 people who are. And I won't say the O word. Obese is not a word that they say anymore. It's fat. It's back to being fat.
Dave
They label themselves. Yeah.
Danny
As fat and fat bodied. But her contention was about the. The negative corollaries between being fat bodied and long term health.
Dave
What was her contention?
Danny
That that sweet tea is not going to get rid of titties. She basically was like, it's part of
Brandon
the, part of the process.
Danny
Yes. Okay, so there's more of the process.
Brandon
I'm also walking.
Danny
Okay, that'll do it.
Roan
Yeah, I'll do the Chinese workout.
Brandon
I'm trying to get more days. I'm doing more workouts at home. Did you see? I saw. I soft launched my gym set up this morning.
Roan
Yes, this weekend.
Brandon
Yeah. So how'd you do that? I'm gonna hard launch it. I featured the gym in a mantiquing video.
Kate
I picked up on that. It was in the background. He had all his gym stuff.
Brandon
I was soft launching it so that when the spring gets here and I can open the garage, I'm gonna hard launch it, so. Oh yeah. And the boys have started working out too.
Roan
Oh yeah.
Titus
Subtle.
Danny
That's a nice ass gym. Yeah.
Nick
God, Damn, Brandon.
Brandon
The sick gym.
Roan
Yeah, it's pretty nice.
Brandon
Shout out to the boys at William. Oh, I didn't buy it.
Roan
I got it.
Brandon
I inherited. Yeah, he got it for the William Strength. Guys were bringing it here, and then they couldn't bring it here, so they took it to my house.
Titus
And those posters are. They're not there anymore.
Roan
Those would get in the way of working out.
Titus
You didn't just leave those right. Right there.
Brandon
I'm gonna ask you where you think those posters are right now.
Roan
They're there in your truck.
Nick
They're right there.
Brandon
I stepped over them to get out of my house this morning.
Danny
Yes.
Roan
It's too much stuff.
Brandon
It's not too much stuff. Look at the wall space I have. No, I'm gonna fill it up.
Roan
It affects us. We were talking about it.
Brandon
This. It doesn't affect. It affects.
Titus
We were talking.
Roan
Yeah.
Titus
If it didn't affect me, then I have to let it go. You tell me it does affect.
Brandon
Three ways it affects you.
Roan
I'll tell you one way. Easy.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
You on the weekend, you need to be doing nothing but sleeping.
Danny
You need your rest, Brandon.
Roan
Yeah. And instead you're Manti King.
Brandon
So there's one way I didn't Mantique on the weekend. This weekend.
Roan
What are you talking about? That was this weekend.
Brandon
I went Friday night. And Manti.
Roan
All right, well, that still is rest time. You need to go when you. When you get home on Friday, you need to close your eyes. You need to wake up on Monday.
Brandon
48 hours of sleep.
Titus
Yes, I think so.
Roan
Yes.
Nick
What percentage of your $2.8 million contract goes to Mantiing?
Brandon
It's not 2.8, and it's more like 5.5percent maybe.
Nick
Okay.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
Okay. Other way. It affects us.
Brandon
Oh.
Titus
I mean everywhere. The studio. There's everywhere.
Brandon
You guys encourage this? You asked me to do this.
Roan
No, this was just to get more space.
Danny
Brandon. Let's look at the psychology.
Brandon
The mostly studios. The mostly studio, you've got Dale Earnhardt everywhere. Okay.
Titus
But organized. What's inside?
Roan
What's the end? You don't display any of it.
Danny
Why do you accumulate? Why do you feel the need to display?
Roan
You display. There's no way you display.
Brandon
I'll show you my walls.
Roan
That was. That was like 15 posters.
Brandon
Yeah. What's the third way? That's only two.
Nick
Do you think you can narrow down your interests to where you're only looking for Dak, Prescott or dolphin stuff?
Brandon
I just like the hunt, man. I like to do what I like to do, and I don't bother you guys about what You.
Roan
Oh, third way is you leave early to go mantique. Something.
Titus
That's right.
Brandon
I have never left early to go manti. I have never once left early to go mantique. When did I leave early to go mantique?
Roan
I'm sure there's.
Brandon
I left Friday at the requisite time. I left exactly when I was supposed to leave.
Roan
There's been other times.
Danny
Kyle, what do you think the psychology behind why he accumulates.
Dave
I think he doesn't like the items. He likes the identity items give him.
Brandon
I'm sitting right here.
Nick
I'll tell you right now. Because he couldn't have him as a kid.
Roan
Yeah.
Brandon
Right. I'm here.
Dave
Oh, it's a trauma response.
Nick
Yeah.
Danny
It's a wound he has.
Nick
That's.
Danny
That's the. The original wound.
Kate
These items are an armor.
Brandon
I know.
Kate
Really, it's a. That's not machine around him that you.
Roan
$100 a week for therapy or $1,000 a week of Greg Maddox memorabilia.
Titus
Everything he buys, he thinks it'll fix him, but it actually deepens the wound somehow. The paradox.
Nick
Another bandage on something that needs stitches.
Brandon
I just like the cool. I think that. I think they're cool.
Roan
Yeah.
Brandon
I like them.
Roan
Schrodinger's hole.
Brandon
That's right. I. I enjoy this. It gives me joy. Hello. What would.
Roan
He just doesn't even. He doesn't even look at it, though. He just buys it, then puts it in a pile.
Danny
Yeah.
Titus
In the mostly sports studio.
Roan
So it's not, like, displayed for like. Oh, I like looking at this. He likes the buying of it.
Brandon
I bought that for you. I bought that for you.
Roan
Yeah. I love it.
Nick
I don't. I don't know if you did.
Roan
And I also think you.
Titus
Whoa.
Danny
Wow.
Roan
Yeah. And I also think he buys it so that he can keep buying more. And we don't have this type of deep conversation. So he's like, I got you this. You can't say you got a rush. Yeah. That I'm trauma buying.
Brandon
You're saying I bought the gift for Dan. For myself.
Nick
Yes.
Roan
Yeah.
Nick
Not because you wanted it. Because the rush of purchase.
Brandon
Saying, when I. When I buy you things, I buy it for my.
Nick
That Jerry West I have hanging up in there.
Brandon
You really nice gift, by the way.
Roan
Great gift.
Nick
I love Jerry West. Brandon smiling ear to ear.
Jackie
What's the difference between you and a hoarder?
Brandon
I enjoy. I. I put my stuff up.
Roan
They do think a hoarder probably has more room in their truck.
Kate
Yeah.
Brandon
My truck is wide open right now.
Titus
A hoarder also is typically more the. You know, just stays in one lane. Like, they collect, like, one thing. Yeah, they collect Rome. Would you like me to send just newspapers or something?
Nick
He's great.
Roan
I.
Nick
We're attacking you. You're great at gift giving.
Brandon
Thanks.
Roan
I didn't even notice he was here.
Brandon
Who, me?
Roan
I.
Danny
Right there.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kate
Oh, well, the gift giving is by design. It makes it harder to criticize him for it.
Nick
Right.
Danny
You have stuff, too.
Kate
He's not giving you a gift. He's buying himself time.
Roan
Correct.
Danny
Grace, right there is a narcissist. There is, like, narcissistic gift giving. There's, like, something that is a real thing. I'm not saying that's what he's got,
Brandon
but, like, why would you say it when we're talking about me?
Danny
I'm talking to Kate.
Roan
He's talking to Kate.
Nick
You guys think young Brandon would have loved. Loved, like, all these little toys? Oh, yeah. But he probably didn't have any, right?
Brandon
But, like, yeah, that's right.
Danny
I guess not.
Brandon
I don't. I don't. Kane, I don't talk to you about the stupid you do your free time, and I don't talk to you, Titus, about the stupid you doing your free time. And you, Danny, we're worried about you. How about me and you, Roan?
Roan
Well, in our defense, we don't. We don't shove it down everyone's throat.
Titus
I don't bring our stupid to the office. We don't spray it all over the place.
Roan
Right.
Brandon
I'm bigger than my studio's character.
Nick
I have an ebay package coming today.
Brandon
Yeah, you do it just as bad as I do. And Steven J. Was at the same show I was at the other day.
Danny
You know, who kind of does it to Francis, but, like, with Mott with. You buy old pre owned stuff and he buys, like, new. Yeah, but he also searches for, like.
Nick
He buys, like, cutting edge tech textiles.
Danny
Yeah, like.
Nick
Like, aren't even general public yet. It's like a new wool.
Danny
Unreleased. Yeah, unreleased fabrics,
Roan
by the way. Speaking. Nick, you. Do you feel a little bad about playing all that Pokemon Go now that we found out what they're using it for?
Nick
I never submitted anything.
Roan
That's a lot.
Nick
Never submitted any of those photos. I never. I've never done one of those scams.
Roan
Do the app passed?
Brandon
No, help me out. What? What does Pokemon Go?
Roan
Remember Pokemon Go? You had to go around and collect the Pokemon in the wild. Of course, they're like, yeah, that was just an AI app that they have now have photos of the entire world that everyone's done. I never submitted data capturing 30 billion image AI map.
Nick
That's not that many.
Roan
Niantics has photos and scans collected through the Pokemon Go and its AR apps have produced a massive data set of more than 30 billion real world images.
Kate
I think that's what 23andMe did too. Selling all our data.
Roan
Yeah. Oh, yeah, big time.
Danny
What are they? Who? What AI is it? I don't know, just a new one we don't know about.
Roan
Yeah, just more Pokemon.
Jackie
Well, Dante claims, like, Pokemon Go is selling it to companies like the robot deliveries.
Sass
Yeah, the. You know, the little robots that drive around the city that deliver food. It's like, it's giving them the navigation information that they would need to, like, get around the city.
Danny
Have you seen the guy that argues with his AI online? Yeah, yeah.
Nick
He lies to it.
Dave
It's hilarious.
Danny
Or he'll be like, can you back me up on this?
Sass
Did you see
Nick
Americans especially saying thank you to AI Sending a separate text to the AI Saying thank you is costing billions of dollars and draining lakes.
Danny
Yeah, yeah.
Nick
So there's like a push being like, stop thanking it.
Danny
Of course they want you to do that. Nick, I. Are you on open claw?
Nick
No. I don't know what that is.
Danny
It's like a new AI that's like, supposedly like the best. It's like a personal assistant.
Kate
Oh, the necklaces.
Danny
I don't know about that.
Kate
Oh, people are wearing, like little AI necklaces that are like their best buddies. Now that there's a documentary about. Of course. I'm so annoyed with my documentaries, but there's a documentary about it and it follows these people who, like the necklace becomes their best friend and they're getting tattoos. They're like, the necklace is my owner. Like, they. It like, gets so deep the neck. The necklace, like, ordered this lady, like a dildo and controls it. It's like, it's.
Nick
Whoa.
Danny
It's crazy.
Titus
It's horrifying.
Sass
Is on Claude.
Nick
Oh, he is.
Roan
Oh, is that the one who's giving the gambling picks that lose?
Sass
I don't know. I think this is like, you can set up a. Basically an AI assistant that you can have, like, run a storefront for you when you don't have to do anything with it.
Danny
Like, or like, it's. It's the most advanced one. Like, they'll. It like, doesn't take no for an answer. So it's. If it's like, make me a reservation at Le Bernard Ardennes. And then it's Most other AIs would be like. Like there are no reservations at Le Bernardin. It's all booked up. This one will like insatiably find a way to the point of making a fake voice and phone number to call the restaurants. Kind of like find ways to get to the bottom of it.
Nick
I'm not really using AI too too much.
Danny
No, I wouldn't.
Nick
When it first came out, I thought it was like a fun gimmick, like talking to smarter child, but I don't know, it's led me astray.
Danny
What about restaurant reservations, Nick?
Nick
I haven't tried.
Roan
Yeah, we got a guy for that. Jerry.
Danny
Oh yeah, Jerry's got us. Jerry is your AI. Honestly. Really, dude.
Roan
The AI? Kate, do you think you could. You could open a university and the entire curriculum is just documentaries? Do you think you do a four year syllabus?
Kate
I think I could. I've been watching a ton of them.
Danny
Docu.
Nick
What a dream.
Kate
Yeah.
Roan
You just learn the most useless information, but you have an answer for everything.
Kate
Gives you a good chit chat for the bars.
Titus
Yeah.
Kate
You know.
Nick
Are there too many documentaries?
Kate
No, I don't think we have enough.
Titus
I would go to your school, Cape.
Roan
I would too. Yeah.
Kate
You're a dog.
Titus
I love that.
Danny
Did you watch the Louis Theroux documentary about the manosphere?
Nick
That's.
Danny
Yes, that's already on Netflix. Oh my God, it's so good.
Roan
What is it?
Danny
There's a new Louis Theroux documentary that just came on Netflix about.
Roan
Supposed to know who that is.
Dave
Yeah, he's the best.
Danny
He's like the famous documentarian. He did, he just did one about. You'd know isra. He did one about North Philly. He has a bunch of famous ones, but he did one about like HS Ticky Talkie and like alpha males. All the. All the alpha males, like Andrew Tate acolytes. And it, it's. It's pretty brilliant. It's a great look at a shout out. No. Oh, it's. It's. These guys are like. They make us look like soft put.
Roan
Cuz at one point, like probably like 10 years ago, we were that.
Nikki Smokes
That.
Danny
Yes.
Roan
Everyone's like, we were the boogeyman of.
Danny
Yes.
Roan
Masculine.
Danny
And this is so far past that.
Sass
This is like the clouds of the world.
Danny
Yeah.
Kate
On steroids though. Like. Yes, that was.
Roan
Yeah, they're all.
Kate
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yes, you're right.
Nick
Kate, have you seen a documentary you didn't like? Like this is bad or this is boring?
Kate
There was some, some that like people were super into that. I just didn't get into. What's the one. He was the murderer, the neighbor, the. It was like one of those. It was like a murder one.
Danny
I didn't really love the Jinx.
Kate
The Jinx.
Nick
Oh, I liked that one.
Roan
Oh, that one was good.
Kate
It was. I just like. For some reason, I watched the whole thing, but I was. I didn't, like, super love it, maybe just because it was depressing, but Harlan county was depressing, but it was still good. It's crazy doc, highly recommend.
Titus
And I very. I went out and saw that immediately.
Kate
Do you watch the Barkley marathons yet?
Titus
I haven't had time. March Madness right now.
Kate
Okay.
Titus
So it's hard.
Brandon
Hard.
Kate
It's really good.
Titus
It's become difficult.
Danny
A live documentary. A basketball documentary.
Kate
Oh, yeah.
Danny
About a tournament, but real time.
Titus
Okay. Look at me after March Madness. I'll watch you watch it. I'll watch it.
Kate
Please chat with me about it by the coffee machine. I'd really appreciate it.
Danny
Watch this Manosphere.
Kate
Once I sent you one.
Danny
I know, I know.
Nick
I feel so bad.
Kate
No pressure.
Nick
You're putting a lot of pressure.
Brandon
You bring.
Nick
Yeah, there's a lot of pressure.
Kate
Just bringing it up again for the 20th time.
Nick
I'll watch it.
Danny
Just watch it.
Kate
It's about an alcoholic comedian and that.
Nick
What the.
Kate
Okay.
Danny
You'll love it Will resonate.
Kate
He kind of turns it around. It's great.
Titus
What do you guys do with your recommendations? You get a lot of them. Like, how do you filter them? Is it. Is it based on who's giving them to you or what the topic is?
Danny
I need to hear it a couple times, I think.
Titus
Yeah.
Nick
Yeah. I'm kind of an. I love giving. I hate getting. I feel, like, a sense of pride when I find something myself.
Titus
Okay.
Roan
I also keep my recommendations, like, who gave them to me to myself. When I'm like, if I go home and I'm watching something with my wife, I don't want to be like, yeah, Hank told me to watch this.
Danny
Why are we doing this?
Roan
I'd just be like, no, no.
Brandon
I just.
Roan
I heard this is good.
Nick
Roan stole Fish Market from me.
Danny
I did.
Titus
Yeah.
Danny
I mean, you recommended it so many times. It's like I'm using it as a recommendation. Have I. I don't think I've recommended it, though.
Nick
Okay.
Danny
I've been gatekeeping your recommendation, keeping it for my own. I took a couple people there, though, and they loved it. I mean, it's just.
Nick
They added a doorknob.
Danny
They did?
Roan
Yeah.
Danny
I haven't been There.
Kate
No, that is the best feeling, recommending something that. That people like. Really like.
Roan
Yeah.
Kate
Great.
Roan
Coming back with a smile.
Danny
It's hard.
Nick
Yeah, really hard.
Brandon
I made eye contact with a guy I like out there.
Roan
There.
Brandon
Who? Cody.
Titus
Oh, no, no, he's lying.
Nick
Where were you?
Brandon
Had some good eye contact with Cody.
Danny
I was like, you know that. I, I. Since you weren't in the original bracket, I have you playing Cody in a play in all. You're out now.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
Where you got to go?
Danny
You begged to be in.
Brandon
Don't, don't, don't.
Roan
Don't do.
Brandon
Don't do this. No, I said.
Danny
Texted me and said, please can I get in?
Brandon
Yesterday, did you try to steal my spot?
Danny
Yeah. And you said you're going to take Nick's spot. He. You said Nick doesn't want to be in it.
Nick
I signed up.
Brandon
I didn't think you signed up. You've never played basketball with.
Nick
I always have to commentate where you got to go.
Brandon
I wasn't home yesterday. I. I was here all day. I need to go home. I'm not going to be home Thursday and Friday. I have a chance to go home today. I'm going to go home.
Jackie
And right after you said you were cut from the same cloth as Jason Williams.
Danny
You guys.
Brandon
I said we were similar in ways.
Nick
You're not. You're not stopping at any retail.
Brandon
I'm similar to any.
Roan
Any pit stops?
Brandon
No, no, no. I just realized Thursday and Friday and I'll be here last night.
Roan
You almost said Saturday and Sunday there. That was close.
Brandon
At least. At least Thursday and Friday I'll be here. Yeah, and I'm gonna be here all night. I was here all night last night. I got a chance. I have a chance to go home today, and I got to do something tomorrow afternoon. So I just. Sorry I did that up.
Danny
So I got to rewrite the bracket now.
Brandon
You've said it was a playing game.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
Right. So that's not rewriting a bracket at all.
Nick
So Cody's onto.
Brandon
Let's just tell Cody to take a hike.
Danny
No, Cody's onto the next race. I mean, Cody's back where he was.
Brandon
Okay. Now.
Danny
Yeah, he was. He's back to where he was. He was getting demoted to a playing game so he could play against you.
Brandon
Okay.
Jackie
No pit stops, huh? Depends how held up the chick Fil a drive.
Brandon
Well, it depends. No, it depends on what you call a pit stop.
Roan
And you haven't played any of this bracket. Right. Spider and I have been talking a lot of to each other Today.
Danny
That's gonna be real nice. Max was pissed that he's a 8 seed because he made the semi final last year, but the selection committee is. Rico Bosco. Yeah.
Jackie
Tom Lay went on a run last year.
Titus
I got some questions about the seatings.
Danny
Okay.
Titus
White Boy rick at a 15 seems absurd.
Danny
So white boy Rick was the 2 seed and then Rico Bosco said that he's a tears guy and he bump. We bumped in. We kept the same pairing, so he has the same route out, but he got bumped down to a 50.
Nick
Okay.
Titus
Okay.
Danny
And he gets the ball first. I mean, lower C gets the ball first. Unless it's worked out another way.
Titus
I feel like Ebo and Connor Griffin in the first round is. Is a tough draw for both of them.
Danny
Those are two heavy hitters. But it's also, you know, it's the. It's the couch boy storyline that we can guarantee.
Roan
You need some good first.
Danny
We need a guaranteed good first round match.
Titus
If you're a serious contender to this thing, you shouldn't be worried about your draw. You should just go out and win.
Danny
You play who's in front of you.
Titus
Yeah, right.
Danny
You play who you play.
Roan
Is my boy Zach in there?
Danny
I believe so.
Brandon
All right, Good.
Danny
Zachary Zach.
Roan
Well, no, we didn't. We didn't pick Akron.
Danny
But he's. Doesn't he have Z?
Roan
He picked Akron to win it all. And then when bracket busters. We had the chance to take AAN and he said no ucf.
Nick
How'd they get these sweatsuits?
Roan
I don't know. They got me one too.
Danny
Where are those sweatsuits? How are those available in the city of Chicago?
Roan

Brandon
Yeah, that's.
Roan
I got us a second White boy Rick.
Nick
Wait a minute.
Roan
Yeah, I got myself a pair. Love it.
Brandon
The hell?
Roan
That's Connor Burns. He just started today. Really talented guy.
Brandon
Chicago guy.
Roan
Bears. Yeah. Covers the Bears. Yeah. By the way, I think that. I think that clip might be from. He's had a couple misses, but he also. He's. He knows the Bears well. He did have one tick tock. That was like chase Claypool. Ryan P.S. is cooking again.
Brandon
Oh, cool.
Nick
Hell yeah.
Roan
He interviewed for PMT intern last summer and we're like, this guy's awesome. But we're like, we wanted someone who is a different fan base, so. But he's. Yeah, he's good. So he's gonna be in the mix. We'll maybe have him on the act tomorrow.
Nick
I walked past him this morning ignoring him because I thought he was Rick and I didn't want to talk to Rick.
Roan
Yeah.
Nick
And then I had to double back. It's like, oh, nice to meet you, man.
Roan
Yeah, he's a good dude. So. Yeah, look at that.
Danny
I like him.
Titus
Yeah, we don't like. We don't need Rick then.
Roan
No, Rick is completely expendable.
Brandon
Oh, okay.
Titus
All right.
Nick
Don't go. Don't go crazy now.
Roan
Now.
Nick
He's one of our biggest.
Roan
He is.
Danny
Well, how big is this guy?
Roan
He's pretty tall.
Danny
Could he hoop? Does he. Can you find Cody in the plan?
Roan
Find the Claypool one. It's very funny,
Danny
fellows. Even ladies. What are we doing with our footwear this summer? Is there anything that he go to's that. That I should be. I should be buying.
Nick
You guys want to try to show toes?
Brandon
I got no toes out.
Kate
I've been not wearing open. I'm self conscious about the state of my feet. I don't think they're that bad, but I also don't think you really want to look at them.
Roan
Here we go.
Nikki Smokes
Oh, we got. Some more wide receiver. Let's go.
Roan
I literally just look at trades and I trade more people.
Nikki Smokes
We still might, but wow. Chase Clay Pool to Chicago. Oh, my goodness.
Roan
Such a bad trade.
Titus
I love it.
Roan
Yeah, he loves it.
Kate
He's going to fit right in it.
Roan
Are you dressing cooler, Ron? Because those are cool guy pants.
Danny
These are Just cart heart. But I am going double knee pants because I have. I have knobby knees. Oh. I have very sharp knees.
Roan
Those are cool guy pants though.
Brandon
He's always dressed cool.
Roan
I know, but I think he's getting maybe cooler.
Danny
These are just regular car heart pants that are just double. I'm wearing more double kneed pants, I'll tell you that much. But it's just to protect the knobbiness of my knees.
Brandon
I didn't know double knee.
Titus
What's double knee mean? What does that.
Danny
You see how there's just double the fabric. Extra, extra piece of fabric over like the knee.
Roan
Oh, but is that a problem where everyone like you see double knees? You're like that guy must have knobby knees.
Danny
Yeah, probably. It's like an indicator. It's like a push up bra for
Nick
guys that won't last in the summer. Right.
Danny
That's what I'm. That's what I'm worried about because I know how to, to how to wear double knee pants. Like I can't wear these all, all year round.
Roan
Are you actually self conscious about your double knees or your knobby knees?
Danny
I mean I'm aware I'm not like, oh, I can't my knob because like
Roan
of all the things we self conscious with the. The knees got to be lowest.
Danny
They are low. But they are not. But they are knobby.
Brandon
I.
Danny
At the bar stool combine or whatever the, the, the thing we did the super bowl where we were. We're like high jumping or whatever. One of my greatest athletic achievements. And I remember that all that was a great.
Roan
Yeah. We were on the same team.
Dave
Team.
Danny
All, all Will Compton could talk about afterwards is how sharp my knees looked cutting through my sweatpants. And it's just like a day that should be a joyous day right in my life. All I'm thinking about is how angular my and. And knob knobbed up my knees are. Yeah.
Jackie
I didn't want to say anything but
Nick
really Danny has behind closed doors brought though.
Danny
I mean. Well, I'm glad I'm addressing it, but yeah, I don't, I don't know. I don't know what to do with pants in the summer.
Roan
I love your knees the way they are. Are.
Danny
They're so knob. They're so knobbed out.
Jackie
Borrow. Borrow Titus's shorts.
Roan
Oh, okay. Never mind.
Danny
Look at that. Look at that.
Nick
I think those just look like knees, man.
Roan
Yeah, they are.
Brandon
They're all that knobby.
Danny
They're pretty.
Nick
Yeah, that's. Oh, wow.
Dave
Oh yeah.
Roan
Blur that tj.
Nick
They're Triple knee.
Danny
Gross.
Roan
That is the worst, though, when someone points out something like that.
Danny
I've never thought that.
Roan
What the. I just had knees. And now for the rest of my
Danny
life, I have knees. I have to double. I have to put extra fabric. I need lapels for my pants.
Brandon
Yeah, that's kind of one of those things our fan base will tell you about if you tweet out a picture. That's normal.
Roan
Yeah.
Brandon
You get told, wow, nice fingernails. Or nice. Nice knuckle on your third finger.
Nick
The thing I miss the most. Before this, I used to wear shorts.
Roan
Yeah.
Brandon
No more. No.
Roan
Yeah, we have. People also will just say that we have like Hank falling because his leg fell asleep. Some guy diagnosed him with pancreatic cancer. Yeah. Remember when Glenny Balls tweeted a picture with out his shirt on? Someone's like, dude, you have breast cancer.
Nick
But that one nipple was so much bigger than the other.
Roan
It's like, Jesus Christ, man. It's just a picture.
Danny
Yeah. Doctors online, people are assessing things, but
Brandon
has Hank made an appointment to check on.
Roan
I don't think so, but. But yeah, big pancreas.
Danny
He has a severe health issue, so I think just had a dead leg
Sass
from sitting down too long.
Roan
This is totally not true.
Sass
It's very common misconception. I'm almost 99 positive.
Titus
This is chronic pancreatitis.
Kate
Username Big pancreat.
Roan
Changed it once he. Oh, he got on the case. I think he was probably hoping to get.
Jackie
That's not what happens when your leg falls asleep. You don't just collapse like that.
Danny
Do you guys like it more when you could see people's faces saying their takes? Or did you like it when there was like anonymity where the thought just existed on the Internet in a tweet?
Brandon
I think it should come with faces.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
I think everything should be accompanied by
Danny
a face because there's like a judgment. Like a two way glass of judgment.
Brandon
I can't say anything anonymous to you going down the street. Right.
Danny
Got it. Got it. So bull works against people who are just being nasty on the Internet for no reason.
Brandon
I think it's a cloak that's. That people don't deserve.
Danny
Got it. I like that.
Roan
The Internet would be a lot nicer of a place if everyone had to have their like name and face right next to it.
Nick
Or meaner.
Roan
No, I don't think so.
Titus
Like, your address is posted.
Roan
Yeah.
Nick
Yeah, that's smart. That's good.
Roan
You want to say we suck.
Titus
Yeah. Know where you live before.
Danny
Or that we have knobby knees. Like, let's see your knees.
Kate
Yeah, show me.
Roan
Knee it up. Yeah, but then that always backfires. This guy probably has perfect knees just right in your face. Oh, you want to see my knees, bro?
Brandon
Well, have you ever seen a set of knees and been like, those are perfect knees. Have you ever judged a knee before?
Titus
I don't think I've ever.
Roan
Now I'm gonna be on the hunt. It's like. It's like buying a car and seeing your car everywhere. Tj, those knobby knees. Everywhere.
Danny
Yeah.
Nick
Has there been like a buzzfeed article of like the hottest knees in Hollywood?
Brandon
Damn, this got some knees on her.
Kate
But you know what? You don't notice knobbies if you have nice calves or something like that. That distract. You know what I mean?
Danny
Well,
Roan
let me see those calves.
Brandon
There was something.
Roan
Oh, no. Yeah. You got nothing. How are those cats even supporting those dobby knees?
Kate
Grown.
Nick
We only notice your shitty calves.
Roan
Don't get me started on the ankle.
Nick
Oh, yeah. If only there was something good around them.
Danny
I do have weak ankles.
Nick
We followed up. Your tiny penis just framed by horrible.
Kate
No, the rest is great.
Brandon
Boom.
Roan
Roasted.
Nick
Good one, Kate.
Brandon
Yeah, you're on fire.
Nick
Hey, I really want nothing, Ron. I'm awaiting your response.
Kate
I was being chased.
Danny
And that makes it worse. That makes it way worse.
Nick
She was telling you the God's honest truth.
Danny
That's how she really felt.
Nick
You're a straight shooter, Manion.
Jackie
Don't listen to her own.
Danny
You have nice knees. That's easy for you to say, Dan. You have perfect knees.
Nick
They are the best.
Danny
Stout legs and nice knees. Is Titus. Is that why you would always just wear those super baggy pants back in college?
Titus
Yeah, yeah. And. And my calves too. I didn't have good cats either.
Danny
That's why the shorts are so long behind the paywall.
Brandon
I noticed. And I didn't notice it when it was happening back in the day, but I noticed that not only they gave you the baggiest shorts possible, but it was a form fitting.
Titus
It's a form fitting jersey.
Roan
Yeah.
Brandon
And. And pants down to your.
Titus
And I didn't get. And I know what some people might be thinking. They're like, well, you were the worst player on the team. They gave you the shitty combo. No, no. That's what everyone wants wore.
Kate
Were those heavy? Yeah, it looked so thick.
Titus
The shoes are so short. The shoes I wore were from that era too. And they each weighed like two and a half pounds.
Kate
They look like Ronald McDonald's shoes.
Titus
Heaviest shoes in the world. I don't Know, I guess it was cool once when you were in it.
Roan
Did you feel cool?
Titus
I, I, well, I never did, but
Danny
it'll all come back again.
Brandon
I mean, that's the thing. I don't remember thinking they were preposterous back then.
Titus
I didn't think they were preposterous, but I, I do remember thinking they were baggy. I was like, this is crazy. I can't even Dr. Between my legs so much.
Dave
Who did your laundry?
Titus
Yeah, that was, that was our final four team right there.
Kate
You're right. Dribbling that like impedes dribbles.
Dave
Dent a Camry if you threw it at the door. Threw a pair of those.
Nick
You're right.
Dave
Car. Why would you dent them?
Danny
Dent a camera.
Nick
One of the more common cars, I guess.
Danny
Yeah, the most where it used to be.
Brandon
Is it most stolen still up there, right?
Danny
Yeah, it's not like CRV in a lot of states is the most.
Nick
I don't know, like Ford F150 in a lot of places now.
Roan
I saw a dude do a CRV meetup and it was pretty cool.
Kate
I loved that. Yeah, I used to have one in my catalytic converter.
Roan
Got cool.
Nick
Damn.
Kate
Oh, and my wheels.
Roan
No one gives us credit to crv. You said it was just a strip mall. It's like we're doing a CRV meetup and people showed up.
Sass
There's a whole community of people that meet up with Honda elements. You know, that square.
Nick
Oh, was that the car the hamsters used to drive?
Sass
Oh, that was the Kia Soul.
Titus
Look at this.
Sass
Honda Element meetup.
Roan
Oh, that's cool.
Sass
Just a bunch of dudes. Yo, we all got this Honda.
Roan
Honda.
Sass
You want to park them next to each other maybe.
Kate
I had an Uber driver to Midway who was in an Altima club here in Chicago.
Dave
What?
Titus
Really?
Brandon
There's a club for every car?
Kate
For Ultimas. Yes.
Jackie
Not every car.
Dave
You were proud.
Kate
Is there a crummy car?
Nick
Oh, that'd be Roan. You gotta see Danny's shitty car. Really sucks. No. Think if your knees and calves were combined into a car.
Danny
Danny, show me, please.
Jackie
I mean, it's 20 years old.
Danny
Got a 20 year old car.
Jackie
I should do that though. Just a crummy car meetup.
Danny
Yeah.
Jackie
The worst car.
Dave
Is it actually filled with.
Nick
That would be awesome.
Dave
Food crumbs are gross.
Jackie
Oh, no, it's just the exterior that's disgusting. I mean, I'm not, I'm not slobbish in there because I barely ever drive it, but it does make a very big humming noise. It's nothing to brag about. She has not.
Roan
Oh, man.
Jackie
Ever. Sixth base.
Nick
Yeah, it's a whole new sport.
Danny
How do you get around when. When she's in town.
Jackie
I mean, I live, like, downtown in the city, so the train a lot. But if I'm ever going to the suburbs or, like, running errands.
Danny
But if she's here. You don't do that. You don't go out to the suburbs or run errands. No Northbrook Court time. Or Uber.
Nick
Good old Uber.
Danny
You Uber to Northbrook Court.
Nick
When's the next time she's in town?
Jackie
I don't know. Probably gonna be a while.
Nick
Take her to your car.
Jackie
Should be turning right back around.
Brandon
Wait, you wouldn't pick her up at the airport?
Jackie
I have before, but not the last time.
Roan
No.
Nick
In your car?
Jackie
Well, my. It's a complicated situation. My car is, like, all the way in Roscoe Village. I keep it by Frento, so I have to take a train. If I want to go get my car, then it's a whole ordeal.
Roan
Drop a pin for me. I want to. I want to go visit your car this week.
Nick
Okay.
Jackie
What if it's still there?
Kate
What if you parked it in the lot and we. If we get to pick it out? If we can figure out which car is yours. We only get one pick.
Jackie
I think you'll know.
Kate
And if enough of us pick, then we get to see your.
Jackie
I had a period where I was leaving here for, like, a weekend and stuff instead of Roscoe and your boys, the PMT crew was like, get this car out of here.
Nick
Danny. If you kept the doors open, you had a thing on the front that said free. Would it be taken?
Jackie
Yeah, but then probably just abandoned. Like, it would be probably a car.
Roan
Tomorrow. Bring your car tomorrow. We're doing live. Yak out of here.
Nick
Let's do the. Yeah, let's cram it.
Roan
Come on.
Jackie
We gotta cram it.
Brandon
I want to cry. I want to cram your car.
Jackie
I did just have to get the tires replaced.
Roan
I want to cram the.
Brandon
Are y' all worried it's not going to be as bad as Nick says it is?
Nick
Kyle's been in it.
Jackie
It's really not.
Kate
Not.
Dave
I've been in it.
Jackie
Yeah.
Danny
Yeah.
Jackie
We drove to do that out of order sketch at that farm, and it was humming the whole time. Yeah, it sounds a lot worse. Like, literally sounds worse.
Kate
It is embarrassing to have a loud car.
Brandon
It is.
Nick
We stopped at a mall to buy a Bongzilla.
Danny
Oh, yeah, North Court.
Nick
It was close to there?
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
Were you
Brandon
not far off? Yeah.
Jackie
All right, I'll get my car.
Titus
Roan, do you have a car?
Danny
I do.
Titus
In the city?
Danny
I do.
Nick
Didn't Francis make fun of it without knowing you had one?
Danny
He like. He, like, severely dis. He was like, no car disgusts me more than Alexis. And he disparaged Alexis for like a good. Like, he's like. It's like the person who wants to be rich but isn't actually rich car. And they don't hold a candle to a Mercedes or a BMW. And I was like, I just within three months bottled it and felt great about it until Francis disparaged.
Roan
Doesn't he drive a Tesla?
Danny
He does.
Roan
Come on.
Jackie
I actually had two other cars that were like 20 times worse than this.
Danny
Really?
Jackie
88 beige Oldsmobile. That's my first car.
Titus
That's sick.
Nick
Yeah.
Jackie
It was repellent. And then my. When I passed down to my brother, it was ninth.
Roan
It was the car.
Nick
That's what was stopping from getting here.
Dave
You guys ever try to off a
Danny
car in a car in a car or.
Jackie
Because, I mean, desperate times.
Roan
Yeah. Oh, it's a high school.
Jackie
Driving up the lovers lane.
Roan
Moving all the. The booster seats just doesn't kill the booze.
Jackie
I don't think anyone ever wants that.
Dave
Used to be popular.
Jackie
I don't know if it was by choice. Just.
Nick
It was all you had.
Danny
And the seats, when it was popular, it was just a bed bench.
Roan
Yeah, right.
Danny
There was some bucket seats.
Dave
Yeah.
Roan
Anyone wants Vanny Woodhead, they can the
Dave
new one just really hard.
Roan
That one becomes a bed in the back.
Dave
That would be ideal.
Roan
Yeah.
Danny
When you say it was repellent, like, I think a lot of dudes are trying to off the strength of their car. They're like. And I don't know. Okay. You might be able to tell us, like, from a woman's point of view, like, is. Are women in general. Like, that guy drives a nice car now. I want to him him me never.
Kate
But there might be ladies like that. Like, there are ladies who like those lifted. Like, the more Casey lights it has on it, the more. I don't know. It's never worked on me.
Danny
But we're like a nice brand of a car or something like that. Like, swinger style. Like how they're just driving around in cool cars.
Kate
Like, I'm probably the wrong person to ask.
Danny
Fair enough.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
Because you.
Brandon
You just see an ugly fat dude across the bar and you're already like, is he funny?
Nick
Yeah.
Jackie
To be riding a scooter could have a.
Titus
We do treat cars as extensions of your personality.
Max
Oh.
Nick
Oh, yeah. Maserati.
Sass
Mike, upstairs.
Jackie
Shouldn't.
Roan
Yeah.
Titus
Really shouldn't.
Kate
But I saw a thing that was
Roan
like, I walk around with a little more swag since I got my new car. Yeah.
Kate
Really?
Roan
Oh, yeah.
Kate
Okay.
Roan
Oh, yeah. Just a little, like.
Brandon
Not like your old car was bad either.
Roan
Yeah, but it was kind of like a. A mom could drive it. I don't know if mom's driving my new car, Kate.
Nick
I bet there's a car you'd be like, okay.
Roan
Black.
Nick
Yo, Camino. I could see you being like, that's a guy I like. Or is it just not car?
Kate
Like, Pat had a crummy car when we first started dating. He would pick me up in Austin. We smoked cigs in. It was like a beater.
Danny
Yeah.
Kate
And I loved it.
Dave
I think girls are more attracted to how guys drive the car.
Danny
Like, if you can't drive, it's like, that's a ick.
Dave
Recklessly but coolly.
Roan
Yeah.
Kate
He was a cool.
Dave
Not safe.
Nick
Was.
Kate
And I think it was windows down. I did, like. I do, like, stick shift. I think that's cool.
Brandon
Yeah.
Roan
I mean, that's a man.
Danny
That's valid.
Roan
Never drive a stick shift. My. The problem with my car is that Jerry just cucks it because his car is. Is all black and just way bigger. He's just a tiny man with a
Brandon
booster seat and a handicap spot.
Titus
And he parks closer than you.
Roan
Yeah.
Danny
It doesn't even clock to me that regular dudes can buy a Lincoln Navigator or a Yukon or a. Like, that's, like, Uber XL black, exclusively. Like, dudes just can't have that. In my mind.
Roan
It's also impossible to get around or
Danny
park in, like, a lot.
Roan
Yeah.
Danny
Yeah.
Kate
Certain fancy cars kind of get, like, dudes that are too into the gym. Give me the. Like, are just not for me. And it's same with, like, guys that are too into how fancy their car is and stuff. Like, well,
Roan

Titus

Roan
I'm so ready.
Titus
What the hell?
Roan
Tournaments.
Danny
What the hell?
Titus
Bugs Bunny filled out a bracket.
Roan
Oh, dude, they. They keep dropping random brackets. I saw Sydney Thomas, but Bugs Bunny, he's a.
Titus
He's a fictional rabbit.
Brandon
Yeah. Who.
Roan
Who?
Brandon
Bugs Bunny. Oh.
Sass
So I had us do one in this exact styling just for Connor. I figured if they could do Bugs Bunny, then.
Roan
Yeah, young gravy. Pick Wisconsin.
Nick
Yeah, but this is.
Brandon
We're listening. This is Bugs Bunny.
Titus
It's Bugs Bunny.
Roan
What are you guys pretending Bugs Bunny isn't real?
Titus
Thomas, the difference between Sydney Thomas and Bugs Bunny, right?
Brandon
Bugs Bunny is a bug Bunny.
Jackie
Bugs Bunny icon was in a movie. She was.
Titus
Wasn't Cartoon bunny.
Danny
Similar.
Kate
You guys don't do a bracket for your pets?
Roan
No.
Kate
Okay.
Brandon
Not anymore.
Kate
Okay. I know some people do that.
Nick
Wait, how are the new birds?
Brandon
Good. Got a good new bird.
Danny
You got birds?
Brandon
I. I've had birds.
Roan
One died.
Brandon
One just died.
Danny
Pheasants or.
Brandon
No, just parakeets.
Danny
Oh, caged birds.
Brandon
Were you part of. Yeah. Were you part of the film festival a couple of years ago?
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
You came out and did that, right?
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
One of the movies had a bird parakeet. And Caitlin had got it, and they were just gonna. So I took it home.
Danny
They were gonna what?
Brandon
They were gonna just take it back or something. And then I.
Roan
We were gonna eat the birds.
Brandon
We were gonna eat the birds, and I took it home and got it a partner. And one of them died recently. But I got a suitable partner.
Roan
Let me see.
Jackie
Danny, it's terrible. Try to send to tj.
Danny
Is your parakeet depressed after the death.
Brandon
They're supposed to be in pairs.
Danny
Right?
Brandon
That's what it's called that. And I was worried that it was gonna be depressed and kill itself. But it didn't. He's. He's going on. How would a bird do that?
Danny
Starvation. They just wouldn't eat.
Roan
Fly into the wall or the sun.
Nick
Can birds die that way?
Brandon
What?
Max
Flying into the wall or window.
Roan
That's like the number one.
Jackie
How would they not die?
Dave
Can birds just like jump off something and like I'll not fly things?
Brandon
Maybe. I feel like they have. Their instinct is a trigger that wouldn't let them do that.
Danny
I think it's hard for humans to even do that.
Brandon
Yeah.
Danny
Like if you try to jump off the top bunk.
Nikki Smokes
Oh.
Roan
What?
Brandon
God damn it.
Nick
That's my old car.
Brandon
I was about to.
Kate
I missed it. Flash it again.
Jackie
No, don't.
Roan
Oh my God, Danny.
Nick
That's so sick.
Kate
Look at the rust.
Brandon
That's so sick.
Danny
Six inch rim.
Nick
Oh, that's amaz.
Roan
Rolls up in that. Ready to eat.
Brandon
You eating?
Kate
Looks like a cartoon.
Titus
Look how nice that is. Look at those beautifully bushes.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
The nice little slow gated driveway. Oh, Danny, you got that up there.
Jackie
Like deliver hot dogs in that car.
Nick
Oh, that is the perfect hot dog delivery man.
Kate
Them
Jackie
is the oldest.
Nick
So awesome.
Dave
The old delivery cartoon like pig would drive.
Brandon
Is.
Jackie
Is the old delivery driver dead? Like has he just been completely killed by Uber eats?
Nick
I still see Domino's car.
Jackie
Yeah. Sometimes you see some branded cars, but it just used to mean more when it was the guy who was actually employed by the restaurant.
Kate
Yeah.
Jackie
They're dead like 30 minutes or less. That's.
Danny
But what do they do? Because those guys are still alive. But it's a whole different class of dudes that are doing right.
Jackie
Can you still even call a restaurant and be like. And just make. Make a delivery like that? That's the only. That's the only way that not outsourced pizza places.
Dave
Yeah, we're spoiled in big cities. Have you ever tried to use a delivery app in a small town?
Kate
Oh, that's when you're drunk at night.
Dave
It's just one like it's always like a woman and she's like, she'll. She'll call you and be like, yeah, I'm going to get it.
Danny
And they make no money. Like if you work delivery in a small town, you'll work for eight hours and make $12. Yeah.
Dave
They make nothing.
Danny
Come around the back.
Max
We got it.
Dave
We're being.
Roan
Can we see the. Do you have the recent car. I mean, the current car.
Jackie
Not a picture of it.
Roan
No, sorry.
Danny
Yeah.
Dave
I haven't been maniacally hungry in a while.
Danny
You want a GLP one?
Dave
Like, food is so accessible now. Oh, got it before delivery. Like in college. Do you remember how hungry you would get at night?
Kate
Yes. Yep.
Danny
Before the DP dough came.
Dave
I was saying, with no options. It's like 3:00am Yep.
Roan
Kyle, I got peptides. I'm too scared to use them, though, but I got them.
Dave
Which ones?
Roan
I think it's a vitamin B and then maybe a human growth hormone maybe.
Kate
Perhaps.
Roan
Yeah, I think so.
Dave
Let's meet.
Roan
I'll bring it in.
Dave
I want like an injection. Circle goal.
Roan
We need to see if he's doing it.
Danny
So is Max already started?
Roan
PFC is doing his calf. Max is doing. He's. He's on Ozempic.
Danny
Where?
Brandon
Max.
Danny
But where. Where's it going in him?
Nick
Yeah, right.
Roan
No idea. He's just done it once.
Danny
Oh, okay.
Roan
So he's back on it.
Danny
I mean, there. There should be a safe injection site here the way that there is in like.
Nick
Yeah, the safe needle.
Roan
Yeah, I'll show.
Danny
Are you in charge of them here at this office? Because Jet skis. In charge of them at our office.
Dave
I'm not really interested.
Danny
Oh, yeah.
Kate
Is that what people keep theirs at the office fridge?
Danny
No, not the office fridge, but he just kind of coordinates. He's like, this is what you need. This is the stack that you need to be on.
Roan
Yeah. I have a doctor for us if you want to. He'll meet with.
Dave
Yeah, let's do it.
Roan
Okay.
Danny
You're gonna get on him or like,
Dave
I feel like it'll be underwhelming.
Danny
I mean, your frame. You're maxed out on your frame pretty much.
Dave
I. I plateaued.
Danny
Have you.
Dave
Yeah.
Nick
Yeah.
Danny
I feel like you.
Roan
So we need to get on it.
Dave
But what would it do?
Roan
I don't know. I'm too scared to do it. I have to get the balls to do it. They've been sitting in my fridge for three days.
Danny
Some people are like, I. My beard's fuller. I sleep deeper. I speak Cantonese now.
Roan
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for. Cantonese.
Danny
Yeah, it'd be so nice. Or Mandarin would be the.
Dave
I think too many genetic losers are now becoming, like, beastly and attractive. And we have. I think some people are just genetically a dork, but now they have, like, a chiseled chromosome. They're jacked and they're confident, but you're still. You can't lose the dork in you.
Nick
But the thing is, the genetically gifted are now turning into dorks. Kim Kardashian ripping pokey on.
Roan
Yeah.
Danny
And taking the L hats.
Roan
Yeah, yeah. It's all up.
Nick
Everything's too gray.
Danny
You guys see the androgenic is. He's patting his shoulders.
Nick
Yeah, I saw he had plastic filler.
Dave
Yeah, I saw that.
Danny
He's got like push up bra like tissue paper in his shoulders. What androgenic was that on? Clav stream. Tj.
Titus
I hate hearing that.
Roan
Oh my God, that looks so bad.
Sass
He's fixed at him. There's a guy that got his wig ripped off like a week ago too.
Roan
Why is he wearing them?
Brandon
Tough like an umpire.
Danny
He does. He's so shiny.
Roan
Dude, he's so shiny.
Jackie
Isn't it kind of pointless if people know that you just stuffed it?
Brandon
Right?
Danny
You know, I don't know.
Kate
I can't stop thinking about, like, if you're these guys. Parents.
Danny
Yeah.
Kate
Like what? What are you thinking? You just like live your dream.
Jackie
I'd rather be made fun of for my naturally bad shoulders than for stuffing pads into my shoulders to make them look bigger.
Sass
Clives dad will call him and be like, you gotta fucking figure something else out because this is not working.
Nick
But he does it on stream.
Sass
Please stop doing this. Well, everything's on stream, okay? Their whole lives are on stream.
Roan
Yeah.
Danny
Yeah. What's clav on for? 30, 30 days straight right now? Yeah, it's.
Sass
He's doing a subathon.
Roan
He's ripping off Club Clemmer.
Danny
Yeah, basically. Oh, if Clemmer started looks Max. If Clemmer did all the.
Roan
Oh man, that would be some good content.
Danny
Yes.
Roan
Oh my God. Clemmer gets on the hgh.
Nick
Phil would be in danger.
Danny
Or if they both did it and they just did an arms race.
Nick
A literal arms race.
Danny
Yeah. That would be amazing. Like clever wants all of his content to be like, let me put everybody in a room and like mess with them. But it should be using his own body as a playground and a petri dish to try and like see where we can expand it.
Roan
Let's push him to the limit.
Danny
Yeah.
Nick
He should open up a P.O. box and people can just mail him stuff and he'll inject it.
Roan
Yeah.
Nick
Put it in his body.
Kate
I think about his tap dancing video. I was just gonna say it's one of those. Every month I'm like, clever tap dancing.
Danny
I haven't. I watched this.
Jackie
I watched this. I watched like two weeks ago.
Danny
I've never seen this.
Kate
I will genuinely Pull it up sometimes and just.
Roan
I don't think I've either.
Kate
You've never seen Clem chaps.
Jackie
It's. It's like horrific.
Nick
It was like a weird, eerie, French claymation vibe.
Danny
Yeah, he's a marionette.
Nick
Yeah.
Danny
He's shaped like.
Kate
But I would watch him do anything, really. It's.
Jackie
Yeah, it was.
Danny
Well, I could. Peptides. Chad out. Clemmer,
Nick
you should.
Dave
Yes. Really, like, go online. Like, that's.
Danny
His whole frame.
Dave
Could be completely born to be built like that, but.
Roan
Oh, my God.
Dave
Never mind.
Danny
Hello, my darling.
Jackie
So eerie.
Nick
It's so eerie.
Brandon
The video you played, a funeral.
Roan
Plumber would be a perfect funeral home director.
Jackie
Oh, yeah.
Dave
Yeah.
Roan
Built for that.
Nick
Yeah. He could be the body.
Danny
He looks like the only entertainment in town in the old west.
Nick
I was just gonna say that. He belongs in a saloon.
Dave
Spearfish, South Dakota, got a tap dancer start.
Danny
Start.
Roan
Tap dancer west of the Mississippi.
Jackie
He started sneakily injecting Clemers with ozic. Just watch. Skinnier. What happens?
Danny
Oh, my God. He said he's put on some weight, though. Anytime you ask him, he put on £20. No, I don't know where, but he. He swears by it. He swears there's £20 in him somewhere.
Roan
All right, Ron, great to have you as always.
Danny
Thank you, guys.
Roan
Do the one on one on one.
Danny
Appreciate it. Thank you all for having me.
Roan
All right, let's spin the wheel.
Brandon
Deal.
Danny
I think we're gonna do Slim Jim like freaking crazy.
Roan
Brandon, do you have a Slim Jim badge? I didn't see one.
Brandon
We don't have one in our.
Danny
The Buffalo Wild West. Chicken sticks. Slim Jim.
Max
Yes.
Roan
You can do it, Steven, if you have it. We don't have it.
Max
All right, let me rip it.
Danny
They got some right here. They look amazing.
Max
Well, obviously last night with the stream, Max is the one that snapped. When you feel like you've had enough and you're ready to see snap, snap it to a Slim Jim instead. Slim Jim's iconic snap turns any moment of annoyance into satisfaction. We love meat, and Slim Jim is the ultimate meat stick to satisfy your meat cravings. Available in multiple sizes to match your hunger. You can't go wrong with the OG Stick. But if you're looking for something more, try a monster or savage size. Or load up on the short sticks for your meat stash at home or office. When life makes you want to snap, snap it to a Slim Jim. With its bold, meaty flavor, iconic spice, and signature signature snap, Slim Jim is the smoked meat stick that helps you reclaim the moment and snap back at the world. Snap to a Slim Jim. Grab one today. Everywhere snacks are sold.
Nick
Good work.
Dave
Go work.
Brandon
All right. Spin it, T.J. spin that wheel.
Danny
Hello, my darling
Kate
glamour. We got customers. Come on out.
Danny
Why don't you try my proprietary tonic? It'll soothe what ails you.
Roan
All right, we'll see everyone tomorrow.
Danny
Get your straws.
Dave
Yeah.
Brandon
It's the act,
Danny
it's the act. Yeah. It's time to talk shop or do Yankees love? It's the act,
Roan
it's the actual.
Sass
Love you guys.
Brandon
See you tomorrow.
Sass
Bye.
Main Theme / Purpose:
This episode of The Yak is a freewheeling recap and roast of Barstool Sports' latest "Pros vs. Joes" basketball stream and general catch-up on office shenanigans, health and fitness trends, junk food, car pride (and shame), and in true Yak fashion, ribbing on each other’s hang-ups from gym habits to collectible hoarding. It also explores wildly tangential topics – from viral meme streams, trash supermarket pranks, to body anxieties and the odd suggestion that cohost Klemmer needs to get on the "looksmaxxing" bandwagon.
The Yak on 3/17/26 is a dense, hilarious, and chaotic look into Barstool’s internal world—equal parts sports, life, and roasting. Big stories: the fallout from the Pros vs. Joes game (with group analysis of virality and embarrassment), self-improvement culture (and all its potential for content gold), a blizzard of random, niche debates, and existential ribbing about why people buy so much stuff, care so much about knees, or why anyone would inject anything at all. Throughout, the crew affectionately skewers both themselves and each other, creating the kind of in-group dialogue that’s Barstool at its best.
Fun challenge made during the episode: Should Klemmer get on "looksmaxxing" for content? The jury—and the wheel—are still out on that.
