Trust no one and accuse everyone. And who's the bad guy? The official barstool sports social deduction game. From the brilliant mind of Nick to Rainey, in what's quickly becoming the most popular new party game around, players are secretly assigned unique roles with the good guys trying to expose the bad guys and the bad guys doing everything they can to stay hidden. Each game unfolds under alternating day and night phases with roles like the cool chick, the shy guy, the gambler, El presidente, the mentalist, the planner, the funny guy, and more.
Brandon Walker
Every round is unpredictable, chaotic and ridiculously fun.
Che
Who's the bad guy? Is great for parties. Pre games, family gatherings or groups who just love deception based games. Game night will never be the same. Shop now on Walmart.com.

Brandon Walker
and if you win, you can fuck me.
Big Cat
Yeah. That's actually a fact.
Che
Yeah.
Dana
Wow.
Big Cat
Anyone could really fuck you. But this.
Brandon Walker
Oh yeah, Yeah. I mean this, there's another word for it.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
This person gets the front of the line.
Brandon Walker
Yes.
Big Cat
Dibs. First.
Dana
You.
Brandon Walker
You're gonna be buying up your own product.
Big Cat
Yeah, I might try to get my own golden tickets.
Brandon Walker
You can have me whenever.
Big Cat
Lay some hammer.
Brandon Walker
Listen, it's a power dynamic, dude.
Big Cat
As. As a wise philosopher once said, if the. If the Knicks can come back from that deficit, I could put meat on anything. Wow.
Dana
That's true.
Kate
Wise.
Brandon Walker
Wow.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nikki
Sweet.
Dana
Yeah. Who do you think it might have been?
Kate
You think?
Nikki
I hate to admit this, I might have tossed the mute button on Nikki lately.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nikki
So I didn't see it.
Big Cat
It's just every single event is just, if this can happen, I can do meat on anything.
Zach
Oh, say that specifically.
Big Cat
Yeah, he specifically said that.
Brandon Walker
But that is, like, a cool way to go through life. If they cure cancer and you're just like, oh, my God, I can any I want.
Zach
That's more of an analogy for, like, coming back from something.
Big Cat
I. Yeah, I don't. If Chud the builder can say it, I. I could.
Brandon Walker
On anything.
Zach
Yeah,
Big Cat
the Knicks can come back from 39 in the NBA Finals. I can put meat on anything. Smokes,
Reed
shout out. Nestler.
Zach
Wait, was it 39?
Dana
No, no, 29.
Zach
Not at all.
Brandon Walker
Right, 27.
Dana
29.
Kyle Farmer
29.
Brandon Walker
Oh, yeah. We could put meat on anything.
Big Cat
Yeah. Just as Stephen Che predicted. This guy possible.
Brandon Walker
Che, you owe me one unit.
Big Cat
Why are the.
Dana
Why?
Big Cat
What's going on there?
Che
No, no,
Big Cat
wait.
Brandon Walker
Did you cut your hair in the middle of the series?
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
Oh, my God.
Dana
It looks good.
Big Cat
It looks good. FPS 60. He's middle of the series.
Dana
He's getting ready for them fat women in San Antonio.
Brandon Walker
Those boys are crystal in there.
Big Cat
Yeah. What is. Did I say it wrong?
Dana
TJ, 60 FPS.
Kyle Farmer
You got.
Nikki
That's close.
Big Cat
Oh, okay.
Reed
Other words, there's.
Big Cat
What is the difference, TJ, what are we doing?
Dana
What are we working about 30 FPS?
Zach
We're more fluid.
Reed
We're twice as as fluid.
Brandon Walker
You boys in there, everybody. We're moot.
Dana
We're more fluid.
Nikki
Yeah.
Reed
These cameras have the viewers at home are seeing twice as much yak per second.
Brandon Walker
Holy. So we only need to go an hour.
Big Cat
Wait, does that mean we've, like, if
Kate
I do we look uglier?
Big Cat
Do I have twice as much meat?
Brandon Walker
Yes. Well, no. It's wiggling fast.
Reed
It would take twice as many frames to show your meat.
Dana
Right.
Brandon Walker
If his meat was moving, you'd be seeing more meat per frame. More frames of meat.
Dana
Seeing quicker meat.
Reed
Normally, when you're watching the act, there's 30 little pictures that are put back to back to make up one second of video. Now there's 60.
Nikki
If you were to fuck to completion, it would be 30.
Zach
Oh, it's frames per second. Yeah.
Nikki
You know, instead of a minute, you
Brandon Walker
say it cuts it. Yeah, I get it.
Nikki
If you were to. To completion on camera, it'd be 30 seconds instead of a minute.
Zach
You guys are misunderstanding this completely.
Kate
So if.
Dana
Right.
Big Cat
Aren't you. Aren't you a video guy?
Zach
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Wait a second.
Nikki
I don't know. I don't. I don't know any of the. The technical stuff. I just edit. I'm not good at the technical stuff.
Big Cat
I don't understand.
Kate
Wait, can you explain the benefit of it?
Brandon Walker
We look better.
Reed
It's clear.
Dana
Yeah.
Nikki
Yeah, it's good. It's a good thing.
Kate
Is. Is that a good.
Zach
Why is that a good thing?
Big Cat
No, that's a bad thing.
Kate
Exactly.
Nikki
It's a good thing for the viewer.
Brandon Walker
Zoomed on you counting pores.
Kate
Slap the.
Big Cat
Our imperfections.
Kate
Slap the filter on, mama. No thanks.
Dana
Look at that.
Big Cat
Yeah, we close that, Jacob.
Nikki
It's good for the viewer. It's bad for us.
Reed
Not in higher resolution. It's just. There's more frames.
Kyle Farmer
Okay.
Kate
I still.
Reed
So camera.
Big Cat
No one can understand anything. We could stretch. Nothing has changed.
Dana
There's better cameras. Guys. It's better. Better.
Big Cat
Shit.
Dana
Better.
Zach
That's it.
Dana
That's it.
Big Cat
Better quality.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
Anyway, back to Che. It is his world. The biggest comeback in NBA Finals history. To then get Shea on the path to going to watch his team win the championship and make his prediction of Nixon 5 true all along.
Zach
Truly miraculous almost.
Brandon Walker
How many years of Steve have we had? Year of the Steve. Because it feels like he has a
Dana
lot of good years as the Bucs championship.
Che
2020. Yeah. Or technically the year was 2021, but. Yeah. Say 2021 ain't part of the show since 2018.
Dana
So two Steve.
Zach
That's the biggest thing that's ever happened to you. Right?
Dana
Wait a second.
Che
Yeah. I have a big announcement.
Dana
You have a big announcement?
Kate
What?
Che
Yeah.
Dana
Are you prepared?
Che
I don't think you guys are prepared. It's something we talked about on the show. A momentous day in the Che household today.
Big Cat
You lost your virginity?
Che
No.
Big Cat
You told your wife you're gay. Guys, get in on it.
Brandon Walker
Get in.
Kyle Farmer
Wait.
Big Cat
Get on.
Dana
Did you tell your wife you're gay?
Kate
Hit a smaller dog with a golf club?
Big Cat
No.
Dana
A second flood has hit your house.
Che
No, but I. It's closely marked as.
Dana
Okay.
Big Cat
You finally were diagnosed with autism.
Dana
Oh, we're having fun.
Big Cat
Free. Get in. Get in.
Dana
Diagnosis.
Big Cat
She's about to say.
Zach
Just say it.
Nikki
You're not Asian.
Big Cat
Good answer.
Dana
Good answer.
Kate
You felt a poop come out of your butt.
Che
My dog got her period.
Big Cat
Oh, what the. That was what it was.
Kate
This guy still get coming. He still got me.
Nikki
What's wrong with you?
Che
I. I told you, I'm not prepared for that. I woke up and it was like, all right, here we go.
Big Cat
But if. By the way, I think this whole conversation confirmed the autism thing.
Dana
Yes.
Brandon Walker
Monumentous day.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah.
Kate
I mean, do when she's on her period.
Dana
Oh, my God. Why ask questions? That's about it.
Che
Put little boy. Little boy underpants on her backwards to have the tail.
Big Cat
You're such an. Dude. Why did you say that to us?
Che
Well, we talked. We talked about. We. We had talked about on the show. I was like, what's going on at. What happens when this happens?
Brandon Walker
Can we have the Atlanta Braves guess what happened in Chase house this morning?
Big Cat
Yeah. You put little boy underpants on him.
Che
Yeah, back.
Big Cat
Wait, what?
Dana
That's what he just said.
Big Cat
Backwards.
Dana
Little boy underwear.
Big Cat
But why little boy underpants?
Che
So they fit, but then the tail goes through like the. The wiener.
Brandon Walker
That's what.
Che
That's what the dog doctor said.
Brandon Walker
So wait, Che. You said you weren't prepared for this, but you said you weren't prepared for this months ago.
Che
Yes, but I brought up on the show, so I figured I'd close the loop.
Kate
Did you have, like, a dog period? Go bag ready.
Che
No. No. Quite surprising, but, yeah. I mean, I. I knew. I talked to the. The vet a couple months ago. Be like, what happens when this happens? And I brought up on the show.
Dana
Stop. Why are we talking about this?
Brandon Walker
Yeah.
Dana
Why are we actually discussing it?
Che
It was a life update we had talked about on the show.
Dana
Wanted to give you guys the update.
Big Cat
Walk us through, step by step, second by second. How this happened. Give it to us in 60fps. Woke up this morning.
Che
Woke up this morning, was snuggling the
Big Cat
dog in one second.
Che
I got out and was like, what the hell is that?
Big Cat
Shay just told us about his dog's period. Daddy's trying to give me a cheeseburger. No, Johnny, I gotta run.
Reed
So you want me leaving the kitchen for you?
Big Cat
Yeah. Did you only make me one?
Reed
I know this is yours.
Big Cat
Did you make two? You only made one?
Dana
All right.
Big Cat
Just give it to me. You put ketchup on it. All right, thank you.
Dana
Hey, Chef.
Brandon Walker
What's up, Chef?
Dana
How are you?
Big Cat
It's good, thank you. Thank you, chef. All right, go ahead.
Che
Step by step, asking for a ketchup on a day like today.
Dana
I don't want to be here right now. I don't Like, I don't enjoy this. I don't think this is a good segment. I'm opting out.
Big Cat
His team just had the biggest comeback in the NBA finals history.
Dana
This is a bad.
Big Cat
Leading with his dog's period.
Dana
This is a bad segment.
Kate
God damn.
Brandon Walker
I'm real over stimulated right now.
Big Cat
Yeah, it feels like we haven't even started.
Brandon Walker
No, this is pre show banter.
Che
All right, we're done. We're done with that. We're done with that.
Big Cat
No, I want. I want.
Dana
I want.
Big Cat
I want to know what happened.
Che
But nothing really happened. You just see it and that's it.
Zach
Did you show your kids?
Dana
They were.
Che
They weren't. They weren't there. I FaceTimed my wife. I was like, face. Oh, what are we doing now?
Big Cat
Was it on a rug?
Che
Bed sheet.
Brandon Walker
Oh, ruined.
Che
No.
Dana
Ew.
Che
Throw it away.
Zach
That's way grosser.
Brandon Walker
Oh, still perfectly good.
Big Cat
Get rid of it, Trey.
Nikki
I think my dog's been coming on me a lot.
Brandon Walker
What?
Big Cat
I can't.
Brandon Walker
Brandon, take me.
Big Cat
Don't beat the Braves.
Nikki
I. I don't know what it is. I. I don't know what dog come looks like, but it's like I keep getting this yellow stain all over my shirt. It's not piss. It's like slimy. I know it's not. It's nuts, man.
Che
It is.
Nikki
He keeps humping the out of me.
Zach
Is that slimy?
Nikki
I. I looked it up, but I hope he doesn't have like a bacterial thing or something. But it's just like, it's yellow and
Big Cat
dude, the Knicks just had the most comeback of all time. What are we doing? Dog come. What are we doing?
Nikki
I. Yeah, I was disgusted.
Dana
Yeah.
Matt Olsen
No.
Big Cat
What are we doing?
Che
Crazy comeback. Insane.
Big Cat
Do you disavow the fans throwing eggs at Wemby's head? Yeah, that's up at some point. Do you think there's maybe. It's maybe just not one fans now that we've.
Che
Yeah, no, it's. It's a. I'm not saying it's the majority, but there are group. So when I saw this, I thought that it was like a beer can or soda can or something like that. That would be horrible. Egg is definitely less worse, but still bad. They could trim.
Big Cat
Like, I think it hit the. I think it hit the street sign, not him.
Che
Oh, really?
Big Cat
Yeah. I don't think it hit him in the head because he didn't react like it hit him in the head, but it did crack near his head. Watch this. See?
Zach
Yeah.
Che
Oh, yeah, right.
Big Cat
Misses head. I Mean, it doesn't make it better.
Che
Yeah, no, it's.
Kate
It's.
Che
That's up.
Big Cat
That was the most shocking game.
Brandon Walker
I like, unbelievable.
Zach
I only watched the last five minutes,
Big Cat
but yeah, I was just sitting. Sitting at the couch like, what is happening? What is happening? What is happening?
Nikki
You could. You could kind of feel it was coming too, like, pretty early.
Big Cat
You could, but you also couldn't because it was like the Knicks had to play their asses off in the third
Nikki
quarter to cut it to 15 and miss.
Kate
Yeah, I thought they were dumb for.
Big Cat
And the spurs are so dumb and young and stupid and. Oh, Wendy, so dumb.
Che
Free throws.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Che
And I think they win the game if Kat doesn't tip the inbound pass because Stefan Castle was open.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nikki
Yeah.
Big Cat
Or if Aaron Fox doesn't have the two worst possessions you could possibly have.
Che
I was the last, like two minutes. I was like standing up in my regular floor living room watching it. And when Josh Hart missed that last, I crumpled to the ground because I
Nikki
thought that was like regular floor.
Big Cat
Josh Hart got saved by Dear and Fox.
Zach
You think Dear and Fox went unconscious or he wanted to be the hero who made the shot?
Big Cat
No, well, he. He made two.
Dana
Fuck.
Big Cat
He. I actually the second fuck up was worse than the first.
Zach
The one where he took the layup with six seconds.
Big Cat
That bad? But I also understand his momentum's going towards there. Like he's lefty.
Zach
Kind of like that attitude.
Big Cat
The him helping. He would. He got caught ball watching on the last possession. He just started helping on Jaylen Brunson. When you have Victor Wembanyama playing him on the perimeter. And then his guy, OG just ran, sprinted from the three point line and tipped it in. If you just put a little bit of a body on OG there, he doesn't get that tip. That was Dear and Fox's fault too.
Brandon Walker
Okay.
Big Cat
And he's their vet.
Dana
He is.
Zach
I've heard of him.
Big Cat
I mean, he's not like old, but he's.
Brandon Walker
He feels like he is, though.
Big Cat
Yeah, he's what, like 20, 26.
Dana
Yeah, 26.
Big Cat
Which is old for the Spurs.
Nikki
Yeah, it was smart by like, people are kind of shitting on the Brunson shot. But, like, no, it was smart because Wemby was out and with Wemby so far out.
Kyle Farmer
Nope.
Nikki
Like. And he's the only guy that's gonna grab a rebound.
Big Cat
I actually, I don't know if this is giving too much credit to Brunson, but I actually think that part of the shot was as soon as is Dear and Fox Came over.
Che
Yeah.
Big Cat
He's like, they, we, we. They don't have the numbers on the rebound.
Nikki
Rebound.
Big Cat
Yeah. You have enough time, it either goes in or you have a really good chance.
Che
I think he got a little shell shocked from the possession before because like they same exact thing. Had the chance to essentially win the game. And he gets bait into almost a 24 second violation and turns over. Yeah, I think I was like, first good look is going up and he. I mean it was a clean look. It was from 32ft.
Dana
Probably crazy.
Che
Incredible. Incredible fitness.
Big Cat
And it's over
Ethan
now.
Zach
Che, what did the Knicks coming back to win due to the monetary and sentimental value of your upcoming ticket?
Che
Monetary value increase greatly. Just because I did bet nixon5 and then also bet. I bet basically the exact results of the games after game two. So I think if they win it's.
Zach
It's.
Che
If they win on Saturday, depending on who's mvp, I'll clear between five and seven grand.
Zach
Yeah, but it's just such a bigger game. Yeah, it's like the biggest game ever. It's like having it.
Che
We're gonna be in the building with the trophy. Whether it comes out or not is up to the players on the court. But I mean we're gonna be there with that. That's exciting. So I can't wait. Memes and Zach and I were texting a lot last night and it's just. It's surreal. I mean that game was the most Dead game I've ever seen.
Brandon Walker
Or so you thought.
Zach
Compare the difference of the game in terms of musicians you're going to see live
Che
for games four and games five or first half, second half had they
Zach
lost compared to now that they won.
Dana
Gotcha. All right.
Che
If they had lost would be like seeing I'm gonna don't be compared to one that I've been to. So this would be like seeing you don't have Daisy and Alicia Keys live in Times Square, which. It would be an amazing thing. It'd be huge. It would be very New York. But I feel like now that they won, this is like the peak. So I'm going to see Metallic at the Sphere. It's that okay.
Zach
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Nice.
Zach
That was good. Yeah.
Nikki
Bas.
Zach
Yeah.
Kate
Welcome. Hi.
Reed
Hi. Hi.
Che
Some lineup. Braves players stop now.
Kate
Matt. Kate.
Matt Olsen
Hello. Nice to meet you.
Che
Awesome.
Big Cat
Al Farmer and Dylan Lee too. Come on in, boys. Yeah. Dana. Just hang out. How you guys doing? Great.
Brandon Walker
Very good.
Big Cat
Yeah. Go. Headphones on.
Kate
Hello. Welcome.
Big Cat
Happy you guys come by.
Dana
Yeah. Braves. Oh yeah, look at us.
Big Cat
Brandon's done.
Dana
That's my team always been my team never.
Brandon Walker
Braves won. Dolphins too.
Big Cat
Are you guys wearing the same.
Dana
Wait, what's going on?
Matt Olsen
I didn't have to match, but these are like travel suits. We're going straight to the.
Big Cat
Oh, nice. I just noticed that.
Matt Olsen
Yeah, they let us travel comfy now.
Kyle Farmer
That's for sure.
Big Cat
Here, put the mic in front of you. Right there. That one.
Nikki
That might be.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dylan
Who's your favorite brace player?
Dana
Dale Murphy. Okay, right now or right now? All time? Right now. Probably my guy right here.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah.
Zach
Who is the dude who got stuck in traffic?
Dana
No, it's Austin Riley. What am I talking about? He's Mr. Mistake Guy. Yeah, it's Austin Riley.
Dylan
Sorry, traffic.
Zach
There's a picture. Who got stuck in traffic on the highway and showed up real late to his start.
Dana
Really?
Matt Olsen
This year? Oh, yeah. No, this is like way back, right. It's like somebody got on 285 and just kept riding it around. That's like the.
Dana
It.
Matt Olsen
It's a circle around Atlanta. And he kept looking for the exit
Zach
and oh, he couldn't find.
Matt Olsen
He just kept searching. I heard about that.
Zach
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah, that counts.
Brandon Walker
Oh, you're always talking about that.
Big Cat
Yeah, that was like I actually have before.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah.
Big Cat
Who was it? Oh, who's the former Cub who he played for? He pitched for a million teams. Why can't I. I'm blanking on his name. He threw no hitter and had nine walks. I think this is gonna blank me. But he. He missed the Cub spring training game because he just like. He got lost and it was just like. How did you get lost? You go to this. You go to the facility every single day. I can't remember. I'll come up with it.
Dana
Well, there was the one. Also the story one time didn't. Was it Freddy that got stuck on in the ice storm and Chipper had to get on the four wheeler and go get him.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah.
Dana
Which I never knew that.
Zach
That these are all very funny scenarios, but they're not good like tails. They probably were way better at the. In the moment.
Dana
Yeah, you're right. They don't live on in. In saying them five years later doesn't sound that cool. Just get off the highway, dude.
Big Cat
Edwin Jackson, he played for every pitch
Dylan
for a lot of. Yeah, everyone, everybody, everyone.
Big Cat
I think he had. Yeah, no hitter with like seven or eight walks.
Nikki
Just like.
Big Cat
What's going on?
Dylan
Well, so the Freddy thing was during the snowpocalypse in Atlanta.
Dana
That's right.
Dylan
Where like the traffic was terrible. I was stuck in. I live in Atlanta, not The traffic. You were there, too. Probably.
Big Cat
But you live in Atlanta.
Dylan
Yeah.
Dana
That makes sense.
Dylan
Well, I live in Valdosta, Georgia, now, but I grew up in Atlanta.
Big Cat
Oh, okay. I was gonna say my wife lives there. To be a brave and live in Atlanta.
Che
Yeah.
Dylan
No, it's pretty ideal.
Big Cat
That'd be crazy if you're like, I live in Cincinnati, but I played super commuter.
Zach
But did you say you live in Valdosta?
Dylan
Valdosta now, yeah.
Zach
So isn't that pretty far?
Dylan
3 and a half hours. But, you know, you rent a house in Atlanta.
Zach
You ran out.
Dylan
My parents still live in the same house I grew up in, though. I mean, I played against him in high school.
Dana
Oh, really?
Matt Olsen
Y.
Zach
That was. It's a big football town, right?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dylan
Lounge County. Yeah. Big time title town.
Big Cat
Matt, by the way, I didn't ask this. Are you gonna. You're gonna be a Hall of Famer?
Dana
It's a good question.
Big Cat
I think you are. I saw some stats the other day, and I was like, oh, that also, my friend's gonna be a Hall of Famer.
Matt Olsen
A long way to go.
Big Cat
But, I mean.
Nikki
Yeah.
Big Cat
You know what? Let me be the first to congratulate you on making the Major League Baseball welcome.
Dana
Thank you.
Nikki
Agree
Zach
on a monumentous day, too.
Brandon Walker
What's today, Jay?
Dana
God damn it, Kyle.
Che
My dog got her periods.
Matt Olsen
Congrats.
Big Cat
You guys didn't think that was gonna be what was said, huh?
Kyle Farmer
Yeah.
Big Cat
No.
Dylan
Damn.
Kate
He's been waiting for a while.
Brandon Walker
And you'd think it would get everywhere, but no. You put little boy underwear on the back of the dog on backwards, so you could put the tail in a little. Little pee pee hole.
Nikki
Y.
Brandon Walker
But again, congratulations to you.
Matt Olsen
Yeah.
Dana
Yeah, yeah. Hall of Fame, though. That's. That's also.
Dylan
Are you breeding this dog? Is that the thing?
Brandon Walker
It's not my dog.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dana
Steven. No.
Che
Just want to get our spade. I have to wait till the first.
Dana
Yeah.
Nikki
Oh, geez.
Brandon Walker
You have to wait.
Big Cat
Perfect reaction. Oh, geez. Oh, geez.
Che
Is that.
Big Cat
I don't know, Jay. Did we.
Dylan
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Is that a rule, Steve?
Big Cat
He's our special boy.
Che
It was the advice from the doctor. Just part of life.
Dana
Okay. Yeah.
Big Cat
Just part of life. Just part of life. How's. It's fun having a team in that's doing really well. I know you guys lost last two, but you guys still have the best record in baseball.
Dana
I think so.
Matt Olsen
I don't know.
Dana
Actually, I think so because we had,
Big Cat
like, the Rockies in last year. That was tough.
Dana
Yeah. Yeah.
Dylan
I was on the Rockies last year.
Big Cat
Were You. Why didn't you come in?
Kate
You.
Big Cat
Some of the guys came in. It was like, August. I think we made a deal with them. We're like, we'll make a deal with you. Like, we won't look at the. The standings anymore.
Zach
Yeah.
Dylan
I probably had. Was having a bloody Mary or something.
Big Cat
It was not fun.
Dylan
No, it wasn't fun.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah. Doing. I mean, they're beating the Cubs right now, so. All right, you guys want to do the gauntlet? We have a lot of MLB players who've done this.
Che
Let's do it.
Big Cat
Who's. Who's the best MLB player?
Dana
I think it's Hicks, right? It might be Liam Hicks. I believe is.
Big Cat
Look at the whole. So this. How many have we had?
Dana
Oh, wait. So Sean Burke. Got him.
Big Cat
Go down. Zach Agnos. Dude, we've had a.
Dana
All of them guys. Pretty much every MLB white guy.
Big Cat
Yes. Skeens was bad.
Matt Olsen
Who's the worst?
Big Cat
Keep going, Skeens. Is that. Is that the whole end of MLB Skins. Skins can't throw for. Yeah. Yeah. So wait, who's. Who's number one? Oh, Sean Burke. Agnes Agnos is really good. Yeah. So there's some good guys up there. You guys can.
Dylan
Matt. I think Matt's gonna do pretty good because he's, like, that kid that, like, is good at all the PE Sports. You know, like the ping pong.
Zach
Volleyball.
Matt Olsen
Say I'm good at reindeer games. Like, yeah. You know, the little, like, ring on a. On a string, like, drop it in ping pong
Big Cat
and base Baseball.
Brandon Walker
Baseball.
Zach
Yeah.
Big Cat
And major league superstars.
Zach
You can't be like, I'm the guy who's good at fake sports.
Brandon Walker
Take me to a carnival when I'll impress you. I'll get you so many teddy bears.
Matt Olsen
I. I joke around with our strength guy a lot that I'm, like, the most athletic, unathletic guy ever.
Zach
You also can't say that. Legitimate superstar. Say that America's pastime.
Big Cat
You have 307 home runs in Major League Baseball. You can't say, I play really good at cornhole for an unathletic guy.
Matt Olsen
Like, if you watch me do a broad jump, you'd be like, o get
Nikki
me on a claw machine.
Brandon Walker
We're kind of piling on. I'm sorry about that.
Matt Olsen
No, I like it.
Big Cat
Yeah. Claw machine. I'm so good. What about the fact that you can hit 100 miles an hour with movement 400ft?
Zach
I'm good at, like, whimsical.
Big Cat
Oh, I guess. And also the hardest thing in the world to do. Hitting a round ball with a bat,
Brandon Walker
you tear me up.
Big Cat
All right, who wants to go first?
Dylan
Oh, I got a question real quick.
Ethan
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dylan
Do you ever get into the argument about what is the hardest sport to do?
Big Cat
Yes.
Dana
Okay.
Dylan
Is it baseball? For sure.
Dana
I think hitting a baseball is where.
Zach
Well, the heart is the hardest thing to do. And then what do you mean by difficulty?
Dylan
Like, physical, like no one else can do it.
Zach
Like, I.
Dylan
Like, I can probably go out there and play four downs in football, but I don't think a guy.
Zach
I think it's pretty agreed upon that it is like hitting my.
Dylan
Can't come in the batter's box.
Zach
Yeah.
Big Cat
The problem is, it's hitting a baseball is the answer. But also, you guys don't look like the best athletes.
Brandon Walker
Sure.
Big Cat
So that's what kills you.
Dylan
I think the best athletes are in basketball.
Big Cat
Yeah. I think basketball has the highest level of skill that people don't understand.
Che
Sure.
Nick from Norfolk
Where.
Big Cat
Like. Like that whole debate of, like, football and basketball. Could you, basketball player, play football? Could football player. I always. I always go back to, like, if you had an NBA. If you had an NBA roster in here right now and you had the 12th guy, the guy who doesn't play any minutes, and he had just. Was shooting in the gym, he just wouldn't miss. Whereas, like, sure. Anyone regular, like, would miss, you know, 60 of the time. He would just hit every shot.
Zach
Basketball players have made the NFL.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Zach
Someone from our hometown.
Dana
Right.
Brandon Walker
Nick?
Big Cat
I. I don't know who you're talking about.
Zach
He's an Atlanta Brave or. No, he was an Atlanta Falcon. Who doesn't matter.
Dana
Is Brian Jordan.
Zach
He was a college basketball player.
Big Cat
Like Antonio.
Zach
Good one. Good one. Okay.
Dana
Yeah, C.J. good one.
Big Cat
Yeah. But hitting a baseball is definitely a hardest specific thing.
Kyle Farmer
I thought you were saying throwing's actually kind of hard.
Big Cat
Throwing is hard, too.
Dana
Yeah.
Zach
You really made me suck.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Zach
C.J. goodwin.
Big Cat
Do you guys. Do you guys laugh at the people who throw out the first place?
Zach
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, for sure.
Big Cat
Okay, that's good. What about. You have to like people who don't
Dana
go to the rubber.
Big Cat
That's.
Matt Olsen
No.
Kyle Farmer
I mean, it's understandable.
Big Cat
Really.
Matt Olsen
No, you gotta.
Big Cat
Thank you.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
That's. I'm gonna trust.
Matt Olsen
Respect the game.
Dana
We're putting him in the hall of Fame just for our discussions. Dude, he's okay.
Dylan
There's a lot of hall of Famers on the Braves right now. That future are there. Acuna him.
Kyle Farmer
Crystal's got to be up there.
Big Cat
Yeah. Chris Hill, for sure.
Dylan
I mean, got some young pitchers I think Fuentes, he's 20 right now.
Che
I mean, he.
Dylan
I'll be 48. Still watching him pitch.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dylan
So there's a lot.
Big Cat
Hey. Oh, here's something. I asked Ozzy when he came in on Tuesday. Have you guys noticed the difference in. In blooper. Oh, the new blooper.
Kyle Farmer
There is a difference.
Dylan
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dana
Is he a bad blooper now or.
Big Cat
I missed the old blooper. The old blooper and I used to
Dana
have a rival would fight. Yeah. Yeah.
Big Cat
I think there's a new blooper.
Brandon Walker
Like the person inside of blooper.
Dylan
Yeah.
Big Cat
No kidding. I don't know. I could be, but I did. I. It's not off to a good start because I asked Ozzy, I was like,
Dana
is there ever a time where you're
Big Cat
like, get this guy out of here? And he's like, yeah, bloopers. Just try to make it all about himself. I gotta feel out the new blooper. I don't know.
Dana
Yeah, I gotta.
Big Cat
I gotta see what the old blooper and I.
Matt Olsen
You should reach out to him.
Big Cat
Yeah, I should. I should hit up the blooper. The new blooper. All right, who wants to go first?
Dana
I'll rip it.
Big Cat
Yeah. All right, wait, so here's. So do you. Did they tell you everything that you're doing?
Matt Olsen
No, but I think.
Big Cat
All right, Brandon can walk you through it. The most important thing, though, is when you finish everything on the court, you have to come here and do trivia.
Matt Olsen
Okay.
Big Cat
And then the trivia is TJ Will pull up. This is not going to be it, but this is going to be exactly like it.
Dana
Right.
Big Cat
So it'd be different questions. You just have to get 10 total, and you can jump around to any topic. So, like, if you just know all the states in bordering the Mississippi river, you can just rip that. So you can hop around to any topic. You just got to get 10 total. All right, makes sense. We'll help you out, too.
Kyle Farmer
Is this a part of the five minutes that Skins didn't do?
TJ
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Kyle Farmer
Oh, that makes sense.
Big Cat
Yes. Who was it who came in from the Tigers and he didn't get Tiger, largest jungle cat. Yeah, I don't have. Dude, you play for the team. Yeah, that is. That has tripped up.
Brandon Walker
It was the guy that didn't know what vowels were but didn't care. Yeah, it was the. The coolest move. We were like, name of valleys.
Dana
Like, don't.
Brandon Walker
Don't know. Next.
Big Cat
That is something unique about baseball that I. I do enjoy is, like, there's guys on the roster that are like, yeah, I stopped doing school at like 15.
Matt Olsen
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big Cat
But then even the guys who like went straight to, you know, got drafted right out of high school, they're just like, yeah, I don't.
Kyle Farmer
Some of those guys got passed through high school.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
Right, right. And they're very open about it. They're like, I don't know. Okay, Are you ready, Matt?
Dana
Nope.
Big Cat
Okay, you got this. You got this. So Brandon and Che will be on the court to help you out. You start with that.
Dylan
We're watching.
Big Cat
We head out and watch them.
Zach
You can sit.
Dylan
You could just.
Brandon Walker
It's up to you guys.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Zach
Or if you want to go out and.
Kate
No, if you have any commentary you want to on them a little bit, that's fine.
Big Cat
Yeah, no, I'm not gonna do that or support.
Dylan
The questions are tough.
Kyle Farmer
You're a Pokemon fan.
Matt Olsen
Congrats.
Nikki
Yes.
Zach
Yeah. Nick, Big time.
Dana
You.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Nice, man. What are you. The game's cards?
Kyle Farmer
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
What are you going with?
Kyle Farmer
I got like Mario and Luigi. Oh, no.
Brandon Walker
Okay. They made some collabs.
Reed
I was gonna say Those are like 15,000.
Dylan
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Those are expensive.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
I'm like 40% through having all the shadowless firsts.
Kyle Farmer
Really?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
I don't have. I don't have Charizard yet.
Kyle Farmer
You rip any packs yet?
Brandon Walker
No, I'm too afraid.
Kyle Farmer
I mean, that's a lot of money.
Brandon Walker
I'm way too afraid. You buying like an original set?
Kyle Farmer
No.
Brandon Walker
Okay.
Che
You should.
Kyle Farmer
No.
Dylan
How much does an original set go for?
Kyle Farmer
Some of the hollows are six figures.
Dylan
Yeah.
Dana
Wow.
Kate
Holy.
Zach
Are you newly into it?
Kyle Farmer
No.
Zach
Oh, you.
Kyle Farmer
My mom used to throw away, so now that.
Zach
Yeah.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Now what if, like your like closest friend on the team shamed you for buying children stuff?
Kyle Farmer
Well, they did. And then like the next year they bought cards.
Brandon Walker
So there we go.
Zach
Jocks are starting to do it.
Dylan
Sales. A big Pokemon guy too. He's got a bunch of cards.
Brandon Walker
I'd imagine their. Your collection is better than mine. That's a nice one, Nick.
Kate
What was in the city this past weekend? They were every Pokemon Go Fest. Pokemon Go Fest was here. And everywhere you looked there was just people in like Pokemon hats and backpacks.
Kyle Farmer
I think it's been like 10 years.
Brandon Walker
It's the 10 year anniversary. And then there's the. The fossil museums happening here.
Kyle Farmer
I saw that.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Kyle Farmer
Took my kid to the aquarium and I saw nice. Like, maybe I should go there, take the off. Yeah.
Big Cat
I have the record there for most pets on the stingrays. Not a. Not a brag. Statement of fact.
Kyle Farmer
Did they have to tell you a couple times it's only like two fingers. You're just grabbing it.
Big Cat
I was. I was just petting them all. I was just going numbers. Just hitting them all. Are you ready, Matt? All right, Here we go. 3, 2, 1, go.
Dana
There we go.
Big Cat
Oh, he is good at. He is good at the whimsical games.
Kyle Farmer
Oh, he gotta almost roll his ankle right there.
Kate
That would have been tough to explain.
Dana
Maybe
Big Cat
he's good at baseball.
Kate
Oh, shoot.
Big Cat
Oh, is really good.
Dylan
We're going to pace for right here.
Brandon Walker
What are you.
Zach
He's on pace for about a minute.
Big Cat
Everything he's got to make.
Zach
Got to make this.
Brandon Walker
Drill it.
Dylan
Come on, come on. Are you kidding me?
Kyle Farmer
There it is.
Big Cat
All right, here we go.
Dylan
Layup.
Kyle Farmer
Half court shot. Oh, other side.
Big Cat
All right, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Nikki
Oh, you got it.
Big Cat
Here we go, Here we go. 12 sports teams in California. Rip those A's.
Matt Olsen
Dodgers, Padres, Chargers, Rams, Giants, Brown Bear, Grizzly Bear, Black Bear, three face cards in poker.
Big Cat
Bear, three face cards in poker.
Matt Olsen
King, Queen, Jack.
Big Cat
Oh. Oh. Oh, my God. D.J. you. Him. Wow, that's.
Zach
Oh, my God. Wait, 107.
Big Cat
He would have had it if T.J. didn't him. Oh, no.
Dana
What do you do?
Big Cat
Spelled queen wrong.
Zach
Pretty much broke the record.
Big Cat
He broke the record. That. That's a record. I think we should go to va.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah, we gotta challenge it.
Big Cat
That was incredible, Matt.
Dylan
That was insane.
Zach
I told you, we're not leaving.
Matt Olsen
Where's tj?
Big Cat
Tj, what do you say for yourself?
Dylan
Is he the period dog?
Kyle Farmer
Who this man?
Big Cat
Okay, what'd you say? Tj, welcome to the show. Oh, he's not. He's not apologizing. That was the record, tj. Oh, it was you with the record there.
Kate
You would have been in our rafters.
Kyle Farmer
Matt, do it. He's a guest on.
Dylan
That's great, tj.
Dana
It's all right.
Big Cat
I don't like the way Jack. Did you misspell queen there?
Kyle Farmer
No, he put an extra E on it.
Big Cat
Oh.
Kyle Farmer
A couple times, I think.
Big Cat
Let's see that, because that was incredible.
Kyle Farmer
Hey, can you check the time on that? I think it was like 103.
Big Cat
Oh, man. Dude, that was insane. You were right.
Dana
You're good.
Zach
He's dead, right?
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
Now you can say that. You could say yeah. Yeah.
Zach
I'd argue it's everything, though. So that's land fake.
Big Cat
You now have the number one time for anyone outside of this. No, no. Anyone?
Kyle Farmer
Anyone?
Big Cat
Baseball and anyone outside of this office. Titus has the record.
Matt Olsen
105 was.
Brandon Walker
Yeah.
Big Cat
Titus.
Matt Olsen
All time.
Big Cat
That's all time. But we've also done it like, you know, Titus has probably done it 25 times.
Dana
Okay.
Matt Olsen
Whoa.
Brandon Walker
Can we check the. Wait a minute.
Kyle Farmer
Here we go. We got the replay.
Dylan
Here's replay.
Big Cat
What? Yeah. No, he's done. But look at how. Look at tj.
Brandon Walker
Dude, we weren't lying.
Kyle Farmer
He's struggling.
Kate
Wait, Nick, look. He would have had the record struggles
Matt Olsen
between the last one.
Dana
He's like, oh, my gosh.
Matt Olsen
Tj.
Big Cat
Oh, and then a triple E. Now, tj, you don't. You don't. Like. You're not friends with Titus, who produced most of his shows, right?
Kyle Farmer
Oh, that makes sense now.
Reed
Yeah. I would never get paid off by anybody on the show.
Big Cat
W. Queen and then Queen with three E's is what the difference is between the. The all time record in.
Brandon Walker
Dude, typed ween.
Big Cat
That was incredible.
Kyle Farmer
We put an on that.
Zach
What you did was statistically harder than hitting a fastball.
Big Cat
Is that yeah. Yes. Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Also smiling. You should be pissed off.
Matt Olsen
No, it's fine. I mean, that was good showing. I was proud of myself. Clanking a few to start, but.
Zach
Yeah.
Big Cat
How many. How many gauntlets have we run, TJ? And how many have been sub 367? And how many have been sub 130?
Dana
12.
Big Cat
So 12 out of 367.
Zach
I'm not a math guy, but that's once a month.
Big Cat
Yeah, that seems like crazy.
Zach
What you did was like once a month.
Matt Olsen
I mean, somebody's gonna hit a ball tonight.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Zach
What a day.
Big Cat
All right, who's up next?
Brandon Walker
No, I'm not going.
Big Cat
You got him. You gotta do it.
Dylan
I'm gonna be screwed on the questions.
Big Cat
Yeah, you got this. And if you get the questions right, TJ will not type them correctly, so.
Zach
Yeah, we have this. We have the same name.
Big Cat
Yeah, you do.
Zach
Same exact name.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Zach
First and last Bauer is farmer and German.
Dana
Really?
Zach
Yeah.
Big Cat
Dang. No way.
Dylan
That's pretty cool. But I'm not German.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah, I was gonna say, good thing
Big Cat
we speak English, brother.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah.
Big Cat
Bowers.
Dana
Farmer.
Ethan
German.
Zach
Exactly. Same name.
Kyle Farmer
Related.
Brandon Walker
Trevor.
Big Cat
Trip.
Zach
No, no.
Dylan
That down pretty quick.
Big Cat
He's just a huge fan of his. Yeah.
Nikki
No, not.
Brandon Walker
Not baseball playing.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You like all the outside of baseball stuff.
Dana
The rest of his catalog.
Zach
He's made some. Yeah.
Kyle Farmer
Podcast and everything, Right?
Zach
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah. All right, Kyle, you ready?
Dylan
Yeah, I'll go.
Dana
All right.
Big Cat
Before we do that, Roback activewear. Best fit, best feel. Roback Just dropped some new products you need to know about first. Swim trunks, quick dry four way stretch. Built in liner, pool, lake, boat, beach. These things are built for all of it. The liner is so comfortable you actually want to wear it. They just dropped a sweater pole. You'll catch us rocking it this summer. It has nice stretch fabric with a clean look and the tailwind sports shirt most comfortable. Nice shirt. I put on date night, dinner out, whatever. You look good without feeling like you're suffocating. That's the move. Roback.com R-O B A C K.com use code Yak for 20 off your first purchase. Best fit, best feel. Roback have you guys. You guys have already played the Cubs, right?
Kyle Farmer
No, we're playing them later.
Big Cat
Oh, you're coming back Chicago.
Matt Olsen
We did at home. We played them at home.
Big Cat
We got to get you back on pmt. Also I need you for something else. We do. We do a Dingers only league. I think I've told you about this where the stat, the only stat is home runs. This year we're going to maybe try to find a time when guys can zoom in when we make the pick, see if you want to be on.
Matt Olsen
Okay.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's going to be fun. Dinger's only league. Chase still has to pitch against a college or what do you do? Semi pro. That's the punishment every year. Chase is gonna shelled.
Zach
He has to pitch against mlb.
Big Cat
He has to pitch versus a college team. He's gonna kill.
Matt Olsen
What does he have to throw?
Zach
Like gonna strike one out.
Big Cat
He has to throw. Yes. One six outs.
Brandon Walker
He's gonna throw a perfect game.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Kyle Farmer
Like a blitz ball or like actual baseball.
Big Cat
Actual baseball. We've done it two years in a row. Max pitched against the Savannah Bananas and then the year before PFT pitched against uic, the college team here. So it actually went better than we thought. Because guys, I mean you guys tell me like when a position player comes in there's a lot of pressure where you like you're not used to someone throwing that slow.
Kyle Farmer
I want to start throwing on the mound.
Big Cat
Have you done it yet?
Matt Olsen
A pitching or pitching in a game? No, I want to.
Kyle Farmer
You can throw some knuckleballs.
Nikki
Yeah, yeah.
Kyle Farmer
He talks about not throwing knuckleball. Oh yeah.
Big Cat
You gotta get in the game.
Zach
When's the last time you pitched competitively?
Matt Olsen
High school.
Big Cat
How fast?
Matt Olsen
So 2012.
Big Cat
How fast did you throw?
Matt Olsen
I could get up around 90.
Zach
You think you could do like do well against a Division 1 team?
Matt Olsen
Yeah, I mean it's tough because, like, I play first base and my throwing program in the off season is not ideal by any means. You know, I just kind of get my arm loose so my arm would probably fall off. But no, I wouldn't do well against Division 1 team.
Kyle Farmer
If you look at whenever they throw the ball around, you'll see him grab like a knuckleball or. You'll see. I started telling some people and they started noticing it. Every time he throws it to Ozzy, you'll see like a different grip. He's throwing some messed up stuff.
Matt Olsen
I'm working on my stuff.
Big Cat
I believe that.
Brandon Walker
You guys ready out there?
Big Cat
You guys ready? Kyle, he's gonna. You. You.
Dana
Them.
Big Cat
Yeah, totally them.
Brandon Walker
Has Brandon tried to get a first pitch out of you guys?
Matt Olsen
No. We should get him one, though.
Brandon Walker
I'm helping you out right now.
Dana
I already got it.
Dylan
You got a first.
Matt Olsen
He's already in.

He didn't actually run it. So we just put that in there. Just see people's reactions.
Nikki
There you go.
Big Cat
We were like one for a hundred on getting a reaction out of that. We don't like. Only one person's ever reacted to.
Brandon Walker
Really? Yeah.
Big Cat
No. CM Punk. What did he say?
Brandon Walker
He said, oh, no.
Big Cat
Yeah, he said, oh, no. That most people are just like. They just kind of skirt by it. They're like. These guys really have Jared. No, he's in prison. But when he gets out, he'll do it.
Che
Yeah, sure.
Big Cat
All right, you ready, Dylan? I mean, go backwards. Hat for the three point shooting.
Kyle Farmer
I don't think that's gonna help me.
Big Cat
Yeah, can't hurt.
Matt Olsen
You can't, Can't.
Dylan
You could still beat me though, if you come in here and get 10 answers. Right?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dana
True.
Kyle Farmer
150 is pretty good.
Zach
150 is great. You're on the court. Time was probably the record.
Nikki
It was.
Kate
Yes.
Nikki
Really?
Brandon Walker
Yeah.
Zach
The best sport time ever.
Dylan
You Matt?
Dana
It was pretty good.

Reed
Second shot.
Matt Olsen
Charlotte.
Reed
What was it under 30 seconds off the court.
Big Cat
And what was Matt's. Wait, so. So you do have a Prince Albert piercing.
Kyle Farmer
No, I was saying that he should be able to get that.
Big Cat
Oh, okay.
Kyle Farmer
Like, that should be an easy one for him.
Big Cat
I thought he had one. No,
Brandon Walker
you didn't answer very quickly.
Big Cat
Yeah, you had. You don't have one right now, but you've had one.
Zach
You've had one.
Dylan
No, no, I've given one, But I.
Matt Olsen
Nice.
Dylan
That's a fact. I've given one. Yes.
Big Cat
All right, Dylan, you ready?
Dylan
Real person.
Big Cat
But wait, what do you mean?
Dylan
Nothing.
Big Cat
Who'd you get?
Zach
What did you give it to? You said not a real person.
Dylan
I don't know. Ask his dog.
Nikki
I don't know.
Brandon Walker
He is a girl dog.
Big Cat
Yeah. Wait, so Matt was 38 seconds on the court, and Kyle was 30 seconds on the court.
Brandon Walker
Yeah.
Big Cat
Damn.
Nikki
And then.
Dana
And.
Brandon Walker
Wow.
Dylan
That took a long time to answer this question.
Big Cat
That probably is the fastest the court that's ever been done on the.
Zach
Had to have been you only.
Dana
Yeah.
Zach
Missed one thing.
Dylan
The goalie's terrible.
Big Cat
Yeah. It's actually. You.
Kate
Actually.
Big Cat
You might have run the Roll his
Kyle Farmer
ankle the first time he. You kicked it, and he went like.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dana
Who?
Kyle Farmer
The goal.
Matt Olsen
Oh, really?
Kyle Farmer
Yeah.
Big Cat
That might have been the perfect gauntlet, Kyle, because you the fastest ever on the court and one of the dumbest in the seats. It's the perfect gauntlet. Like, you entertained us every which way.
Dylan
Story of my life.
Kyle Farmer
I thought you were gonna get it easily on the QB stuff, you know?
Dylan
Listen, I got a 910 on the SAT twice. Like, I was, like, going to take the SAT. I got a 910 on it. And then the guy, a recruiter at
Big Cat
Georgia, you even practiced, he's like, hey, man, o.
Dylan
Took all. My mom, put me in all the classes. And my mom said.
Nikki
Or the.
Dylan
The recruiter at Georgia said, hey, man, we need you to take it again. I was like, all right, that's fine. I got the same score. Both sides of it.
Brandon Walker
Like, after tutoring and everything.
Dylan
Tutoring, everything. My mom and dad must have wasted five grand on classes. Sure.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dylan
Same score.
Big Cat
Thank God you can play baseball.
Dylan
Instantly.
Big Cat
Dumb. Oh, all right, Dylan, you got this.
Kyle Farmer
I guess it can't be worse than answering than that. So.
Dylan
No, no, you can't be better at me shooting.
Kyle Farmer
No, I'm definitely not gonna be better than that.
Big Cat
Go hat backwards. I'm telling you, that's.
Matt Olsen
It's a pro tip.
Big Cat
It's a mistake. Yeah, he's nervous. Yeah, yeah, he's nervous.
Dana
He doesn't want this.
Matt Olsen
No, he really doesn't want to do this.
Big Cat
Let's all agree. Hey, let's just agree, like, no matter what happens, like, we don't make fun of.

Big Cat
Oh.
Zach

Dylan
So skin was doing this for five minutes?
Big Cat
Yeah, I can't remember what he's. He sucked at trivia for sure, but he also. I feel like he wasn't good at the other stuff, too.
Kate
Coincidence? We got two of our fastest times on the day. We double sped up our footage.
Brandon Walker
Oh, my God.
Big Cat

Big Cat
Like, how did you. Kyle? How did you know you didn't get Sosa McGuire.
Kyle Farmer
Four Bond movies.
Big Cat
I should have said 98 populated cities in Asia. Two Nolan Ryan, two first names of the parents of Bluey. You have kids, Bluey? Yeah, I don't watch Bluey.
Dylan
Brandon Johnson.
Dana
That's fair.
Big Cat
Go back to the teams in Florida. Let's keep going with the teams in Florida. Yeah, Rain Johnson might be right. There you go. I don't know teams in Florida.

Jared from Subway did beat you though.
Kyle Farmer
That's fine.
Dylan
He's a fictional person streamed in prison.
Big Cat
Oh man, I feel like you didn't really want. You didn't want it after.
Kyle Farmer
After cornhole I got hooks into this.
Big Cat
Oh, okay.
Brandon Walker

Kyle Farmer
My father in law is a great, a huge barstool fan.

Brandon Walker
You almost beat him by a minute.
Kyle Farmer
If I can. If I can pitch like him, I'll be good.
Dylan
You're doing pretty good. Good.
Dana
What did go wrong with skin?
Big Cat
I think it was trivia, but also I feel like he sucked on the court too.
Dana
Yeah, he wasn't good out there either.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah, what do you mean either?
Dana
I mean his comparison to his trivia.
Kyle Farmer
I got you.
Brandon Walker
Damn.
Dana
Brandon 1985.
Big Cat
Oh, Matt, by the way, do you want.
Brandon Walker
It's not like the third time that's happened.
Big Cat
Do you want some of the dirt you played on?
Matt Olsen
Oh, is that from Oakland.
Dana
Yeah.
Matt Olsen
I actually will take it.
Dana
Yeah, you got to.
Brandon Walker
We ate some a lot.
Dana
Yeah.
Kate
Literally all of us.
Dana
Did you?
Big Cat
Yeah, I have. I have jars of it.
Kate
Yeah.
Kyle Farmer
Why did you eat it?
Brandon Walker
Mixed it in with how.
Big Cat
Don't ask.
Dana
Baby food out of it.
Big Cat
I ended up.
Dana
Ate it out of my titties.
Big Cat
I think I bought.
Kate
Yeah, we all suckled that out of. Randy.
Big Cat
I've been collecting random things. Like, actually, after this, you guys should go. If you go to the bathroom back there. I bought a trough from the Bill Stadium that's fully functional. If you want to piss in it and sign the wall, that's cool. But, yeah, we've been collecting random stuff. I got that banner. See that banner? That's a real banner that FSU put up.
Matt Olsen
Cancel.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, they put that. I got the Boise Blue turf coming for some of that.
Matt Olsen
For where we're gonna. Right there.
Big Cat
That turf? Yeah.
Matt Olsen
That's pretty cool.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
So I'm just collecting random.
Brandon Walker
That's the best response you could. Yeah. Pretty cool.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dana
Pretty cool.
Big Cat
Yeah. Looks.
Brandon Walker
That's what you're doing it for.
Big Cat
That's from San Diego to get charged up. That's from the old Qualcomm stadium.
Dylan
How'd you get all that stuff you
Big Cat
want, like, ebay, auctions? And now I'm getting targeted. People are just selling their random, and I'm buying it.
Nikki
Pretty cool.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
Yeah. The cold splatter's the best.
Matt Olsen
What if we could get you a blooper suit?
Big Cat
Yes. I'll burn the out of.
Matt Olsen
Would you wear it?
Big Cat
I'd make someone else wear it.
Kyle Farmer
And then you'd beat him up.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Matt Olsen
I'm guessing there aren't multiple of those.
Big Cat
There's got to be at least two, right? I mean, it's got to be a backup suit.
Che
Yeah.
Kyle Farmer
Because it gets pretty nasty in Atlanta.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Matt Olsen
It's gonna be so hot.
Kyle Farmer
Disgustingly hot.
Kate
Hey, cat, how did Blooper start hating you?
Big Cat
I don't know.
Kyle Farmer
He must have said something about the Braves.
Big Cat
I think he just. I mean, it was smart by him because, like, the social media, he'd be, you know, blooper. Because it was a new mascot. You don't really see new mascots very often.
Kyle Farmer
I think he was the one running it, too. So you actually hate that guy.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kyle Farmer
I gotcha.
Big Cat
He's somewhere else now. He told me Detroit.
Dylan
Yeah.
Big Cat
So he's still a rival.
Kyle Farmer
You might just be getting some random Detroit line.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah.
Dylan
He, like, had, like, a. He was walking around, like, the dugout, like, giving everybody Hugs saying, like, this is my last day. And he was very emotional.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nikki
It was weird.
Big Cat
Were you emotional?
Zach
No,
Big Cat
no, no.
Nikki
Good luck, man.
Dylan
Good luck, man.
Kyle Farmer
You got to pay.
Nikki
Like, where are you going?
Dylan
I got the mascot, the lines. I was like,
Zach
I don't care, man. I don't know.
Che
You.
Big Cat
You got called up to the NFL.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah.
Zach
All right, well, see you.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dana
What about. What about the Freeze? Is there an emotional attachment?
Big Cat
Oh, yeah. He actually is badass.
Matt Olsen
I think there is.
Big Cat
There was better.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah, there was a better freeze. I don't think it's the same guy.
Big Cat
Oh, really? He's so fucking fast.
Dana
So, you know, if you got the good freeze on, like a. Like, you get a better freeze on Saturday than, like, a random.
Kyle Farmer
There's a little freeze. There's a big freeze.
Dana
There's a little freeze.
Kyle Farmer
And Triple A, There was one of them.
Dana
Bridge six freeze.
Big Cat
He's the guy who races random fans. What inning does he race?
Dana
The six.
Big Cat
Yeah. In the outfield of the Brave Stadium, and everyone. And the fan gets, like, a huge head start, and he just always dusts.
Kyle Farmer
There needs to be, like, a PT sponsorship, like, right by our bullpen because somebody pulls their hamstring, like.
Big Cat
Yeah, right. Yeah.
Dylan
I like the tool race, though. The tool race is good.
Big Cat
What's the tool race?
Dylan
Home Depot tool race. I think that's in the fourth.
Nikki
Fourth.
Kyle Farmer
It's early.
Big Cat
Okay.
Dylan
And they practice going around during our bp. You see them practicing without their mask. Like, they're doing all these cool jumps and stuff. They drill each other. No pun intended.
Big Cat
Oh, it's kind of like the. The sausage race in. In Milwaukee Tools.
Dana
Are we talking like, a hammer?
Dylan
Hammer drill.
Dana
Oh.
Big Cat
Oh, I'll be.
Dylan
The Drill never wins.
Big Cat
He.
Dylan
I don't think he's ever won.
Kyle Farmer
He wins at the end of the year all the time. He does, like, one. One game a year.
Dana
Seems like the Hammer's got long strides.
Big Cat
That's hilarious. Look at them. Well, thank you, boys, for stopping by.
Matt Olsen
Yeah.
Big Cat
You guys. That's awesome. Ice cream dabble.
Kyle Farmer
Calvin will allow it, hopefully.
Big Cat
Yeah. Cal Raleigh came in.
Matt Olsen
I'm doing it strictly because.
Big Cat
Yeah. Cal came in last year, got the ice cream. He hit, like, six home runs that weekend, Multiple.
Kyle Farmer
Maybe I won't touch the ice cream.
Big Cat
I will say, though, the wind was blowing out.
Matt Olsen
How does it work for pitchers?
Big Cat
Oh, that's good.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah. That's what I'm saying. I don't know.
Big Cat
I don't know.
Kyle Farmer
I'm not trying to.
Big Cat
Yeah, no. And just so you know that, like, if any of you do anything good in the next, like, three or four because of that, we'll take credit for it.
Zach
Yeah, we will.
Dylan
Make sure to tune in.
Big Cat
Yeah, they'll be like. It'll be like two weeks later, and. And someone hit home run. Be like, yeah, Bump.
Brandon Walker

Good read.
Dana
That was fun.
Brandon Walker
Fun, guys.
Kate
Yeah. They might be my new favorite team. That's come through. Also, Dana, I have a compliment.
Big Cat
Yeah?
Kate
I feel like if I didn't know barstool and I didn't know baseball, which I don't, and you were walking with them right now.
Dana
That's what I said.
Kate
Oh, you did? I'd be like, this guy plays pro baseball.
Nikki
Yeah.
Dana
You look like you're dressed just like him.
Nikki
Thanks, guys.
Kate
Fit right in.
Dana
It's the I mean, obviously you'd probably be somebody that's like out with an injury for a while.
Nikki
Well, for sure.
Dana
A lot of weight.
Nikki
It's the South Boston outfit. It's just a hat like this. Joggers, sneakers, and a white tee.
Dana
Oh. If you say they're all. That was exciting.
Kate
Okay.
Dana
What?
Brandon Walker
What do you mean a hat like that?
Nikki
Like a trucker hat type of thing?
Brandon Walker
Okay.
Dylan
Okay.
Nikki
Yeah, usually it's backwards.
Brandon Walker
I never knew.
Nikki
That's not really a South Boston thing.
Dana
That's. No, it's kind of like everywhere in the entire thing for like 25 year old dudes.
Nikki
Never mind. I was dumb. My bad.
Brandon Walker
Brandon.
Dana
Yes, Nick?
Brandon Walker
You backed out on the best night of my life.
Dana
So I didn't back out. It was bad weather indoors. I. You're right. But I had to get home just in case my family had to go to the safe room.
Kate
You did send us a crazy picture.
Dana
I did. I didn't even put that out. I should have put that out. But driving home was very, very stormy. And I was driving last one of the last turns before I get to my house and a trampoline just blows in front of me. Just right, right, right out in the road.
Brandon Walker
Some twister shit.
Dana
Yeah. And I did stop and take a picture of it, but it was. It was in. Today's gonna be worse. So I couldn't even go today. But it was the greatest night of your life.
Brandon Walker
It was amazing.
Nikki
How big was the trampoline?
Dana
Standard size trampoline.
Brandon Walker
I went to a magic mansion and you're asking trampoline size?
Nikki
Well, I'm worried about this person's trampoline that left their backyard. That's like a fun thing.
Dana
Yeah. Sorry. Hope they got it back through the night.
Brandon Walker
Like sworn secrecy.
Kate
What?
Brandon Walker
You have to put a sticker over your phone camera and they just give you a map.
Dana
But wait, wait, really? Hours pass, but Connor said he got a shrimp put on his shoulder.
Brandon Walker
The magicians,
Zach
he got a what?
Brandon Walker
Every magician just kept on going up to Connor just being like, hey, look at your shoulder. And they just had something on there every time. This one dude just had a fried shrimp on Connor.
Kate
Oh, wait.
Brandon Walker
It was like doing a card trick. And I don't know if it was because Connor was wearing like this velveteen padded jacket. And it was perfect for just like he wouldn't feel it. But everybody, we came across like five different magicians. They were doing a trick. They're like, no, the car's not in here. Look at your shoulder. Always his shoulder.
Dana
What are your Thoughts on his eyes in the picture.
Brandon Walker
Don't like it.
Dana
Okay, all right.
Zach
Don't like that meme.
Dana
Connor had the Connor Griffin eyes.
Kate
Oh, wait, is this edited?
Dana
Really get in there.
Kyle Farmer
No,
Kate
ladies.
Dana
When he's got the eyes like that in the middle, he does look like the magician that hosted you.
Kate
Also, the orange glow on his face is menacing.
Brandon Walker
That's horrifying.
Zach
He dressed like that on his own.
Kate
That looks like Phantom of the Opera mask.
Brandon Walker
I. I panicked because, like, Dante. It was after Aachi game yesterday. Dante was walking out of the office with his suit jacket, which was crazy. Then Connor had his and his bow tie. I was just going to wear a brown suit, so I had to pivot. I did a bandana around my neck belt buckle.
Big Cat
It's more normal.
Kate
But is this place like. It's like an Ikea. You walk through the front door, and you have to follow a pathway through this mansion, and there's magic everywhere you turn.
Brandon Walker
Or I get.
Kate
Or do you.
Brandon Walker
God damn it. I guess it is. I guess it's like an Ikea. And you stop halfway through to eat.
Kate
Oh, so you do roam through this house. Magic is happening.
Brandon Walker
No, it's like you have three rooms that you have to hit on your way out, but other than that, you're
Zach
like, it's up to you.
Kate
Okay.
Brandon Walker
And it's this beautiful mansion.
Zach
It.
Big Cat
It was great that you guys were all, like, tweeting, like, what a night after, like, the greatest NBA finals game.
Brandon Walker
Yeah. We were watching in, like, the crowd of a show, but it was. It was unbelievable. And Dante is the best person to hang out with ever. Ever world class listener.
Dana
Really?
Brandon Walker
Yes.
Zach
How do you react to the magic?
Big Cat
He's just so curious.
Brandon Walker
Shrieks. Everything was a shriek louder and higher pitched than the last. And then one time, when Connor got the shrimp on his shoulder, Dante flailed back in awe so rapidly that he snapped his chair in half. It was unbelievable. Great time with the boys.
Nikki
Wow.
Dana
Yeah. I really wish I'd have gone, but,
Kate
you know, how many other guests were there with you?
Brandon Walker
Wasn't. It was like. It was a huge facility, so you didn't really see too many people, but, like, if you pop in and watch one of the shows, it was like 15 to 20 people.
Kate
Interesting, huh?
Brandon Walker
A blast.
Big Cat
Those guys were awesome.
Dana
Yeah.
Kate
Yeah, they were great.
Big Cat
Matt Olsen, love those, man.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
We've known him for, like, five years now. He's just the coolest. And he. He is going to be a hall of famer. Yeah.
Dana
He's killing two home runs on the
Big Cat
night he's got three. He's got 307 home runs and he is only 32 years old.
Kate
Old.
Big Cat
So he's probably got another five years of like, high level, good baseball. He's gonna be. He's gonna. He's gonna touch 500 home runs. I think everyone. Everyone with 500 home runs and without steroids.
Dana
Correct.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah.
Dana
It's a magic number.
Kate
Am I right that the teams that are doing well, that come through, like, remember the Orioles when they came through, they all were very fun.
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
And they're probably just in better moods, right?
Kate
Yeah, it's like good moods, good cohesion. There's a vibe.
Nikki
He's hot.
Brandon Walker
Yeah.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
Matt Olson, very handsome.
Nikki
Hot as.
Brandon Walker
Yeah.
Dana
Yeah. What a life.
Big Cat
Seriously.
Brandon Walker
I'd imagine it's pretty hard, though.
Kate
Yeah.
Dana
Yeah. But if you're good at it and you make it look easy.
Brandon Walker
It's still not easy.
Dana
No, it's not easy at all.
Che
He kind of looks like Killian Murphy.
Dana
What? Not. Not. Not. Kinda.
Big Cat
Not only is that wrong.
Dana
Well, wait a minute. I saw Low Killian when he looked down.
Big Cat
Not only is that wrong, but there's l. Baseball player who looks exactly like Killian Murphy.
Dana
Oh, who? That's the White Sox guy right there.
Big Cat
Tyler Glass now.
Dana
Oh, you're right.
Big Cat
He, Tyler Glass.
Che
You don't think.
Big Cat
Now look up Tyler Glass now. He. Tyler Glass now is Killian Murphy. So. Oh, so.
Brandon Walker
More so.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah.
Big Cat
Now literally, look at that one with his. When he has long hair.
Nikki
Yeah, he's.
Big Cat
He is him.
Che
You're right. Brandon, I have a gift for you.
Big Cat
Oh, yeah.
Dana
This is really a gift for me.
Kate
We want to wait till KB is back.
Big Cat
Yeah, let's wait till Kyle's back. Also, we have an update. I don't know if Josh can see the Dubuque mayor's mad at us.
Che
Why?
Big Cat
Because real boo hoo. So the Buke mayor we thought was just not coming on because he didn't like us. And then he emailed Josh back and was like, hey, I'm hearing word that you guys said some mean things about. What's that all about?
Brandon Walker
He's defending his city.
Big Cat
I'm happy to have him on to explain to you.
Dana
Let me tell you something, mayors. If the yak calls and asks you to come on, it's time. Yeah, go time. You got to go. And if you.
Matt Olsen
If you.
Dana
If you email us back and say, I can't do it today. We got to trash your city. No, that's us being assholes.
Big Cat
You can say, you can't do it today. But then when you say you can't do it in general, yeah, we're out.
Dana
Let's go. Time. It's wartime, right? And that's when we go to Ball Town. That's when we go to Dickieville.
Big Cat
Dude, I'm so excited for Ball Town.
Dana
Ball Town.
Big Cat
We have to set that up. That's. I know we do this a lot where we. Where we talk about something and then don't follow through. I really want to go.
Nick from Norfolk
It's.
Dana
It's four hours away. We can get to Ball Town.
Reed
Stefan said he's. He's spent where his family has spent a lot of time.
Brandon Walker
Stefan has roots in Baltimore.
Dana
What?
Big Cat
All right, forget Ball town.
TJ
That place.
Brandon Walker
79 Stefans live there. That's all you hear.
Dana
That's like a storm.
Brandon Walker
Their national anthem.
Reed
Look at this comment that was on the Tick Tock from yesterday.
Dana
I love. I love the old man that runs around with the person doing the gauntlet. He takes it so serious. That's not really. I don't really know that I'm.
Reed
I'm old is the concept of, like, somebody that doesn't know the show.
Dana
Well, let me just see the reply. See, somebody had my back up there.
Kate
Like, that old man. He's a feminist.
Dana
They just got you. Yeah, I'm a feminist icon. Thank you.
Kate
Kicked.
Brandon Walker
That has to feel good every day.
Dana
Feminist icon. Yeah. It doesn't pop up enough. It pops up, like, once every two weeks.
Brandon Walker
You need more than that.
Dana
I'd like it to pop up, like, twice a week. That'd be good. It's always a good feeling.
Kate
Also, we got a DM Yacker. His family is from Bald Town, and we showed his grandma's house on the Google maps. And that bench overlook was like, his family's bench overlook. And apparently. Great roofball house.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Kate
So we're getting some. I feel like. I feel like I've already been to Ball Town. I feel like I know the place.
Big Cat
Yeah. I think the plan. What we should do is we should go. We should figure out a Friday, and then we should do a, like, leave right after the yak on a Thursday. Spend the night in Ball Town.
Dana
Well, near Ball Towns.
Big Cat
Like, we might have a place.
Kate
We might have a place.
Dana
Oh, we have a place. We.
Big Cat
Sorry, that was in the group chat.
Dana
I was watching the game.
Big Cat
No, that was literally, like, this morning.
Dana
Mostly sports. Ever heard of it?
Brandon Walker
Wait, did you come. You came into the office later than normal today, right?
Dana
No.
Big Cat
Yeah. And he. He made the security guys put up cones for his spot.
Dana
I did not make the security guards.
Big Cat
I literally talked to Mike as I left. He's like, hey, just so you know, Brandon made us do this. We're all set.
Dana
Mike is messing with you. I asked if I could put the cones out in my spot. And when I came back, Mike had taken the liberty to get like a sign and do tape and do this big production and hullabaloo.
Brandon Walker
You just asked for cones.
Dana
I didn't ask for hullabaloo. I just said I'm putting the cones in my spot. And today I got here at 4:30, so I didn't even need it. Tomorrow's the day. I'm gonna get here at like 8 because I'm bringing my wife tomorrow.
Kate
You know the cleaning crew wipes his butt for him.
Brandon Walker
I do.
Dana
That's not true.
Kate
He doesn't ever have to wipe.
Brandon Walker
What is her name?
Dana
Well, we have more than one personal cleaning crew. There's a night cleaning crew.
Brandon Walker
Okay.
Dana
Jose is on the night cleaning crew. His daughter was here the other night. I gave her a piece of candy. So you.
Big Cat
Yep.
Dana
Well, I deserve that. Gave her a Reese's because everything happens for a reason.
Brandon Walker
Nice organic re.
Big Cat
So.
Dana
So deal with that. Where's my kid? Kyle?
Kate
Sky.
Dana
Okay, Jay, what are we talking about with my gift? I don't know.
Che
I said wait till Kyle gets back.
Kyle Farmer
I don't know where Kyle went.
Dana
Did he leave?
Brandon Walker
Is he checking on his bike?
Dana
But he went that way. Is he running away with the Braves?
Brandon Walker
He might be.
Dana
Might be running away with the Braves.
Brandon Walker
Clip made. I'm going to be giggling about clip for the rest of the.
Dana
I was. I. I heard the. The roar from out there. I do miss the moments when I'm out there doing the bullshit. And I heard probably the biggest laugh I've heard in a long time. Yeah.
Big Cat
Kyle Farmer's the man.
Brandon Walker
Yeah.
Big Cat
He said that he immediately walked off the yak and he had a text from his friends being like, you're the dumbest.
Brandon Walker
It was body parts with three letters and he went clit, nose, and nip.
Dana
I don't. I don't mean to slow down, but do we have clip? Yeah.
Big Cat
Oh, man.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, Right?
Nikki
That's awesome.
Dana
There's a lot of body parts with three letters.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, I think it was eight. The piercing that goes through the urethra.
Kyle Farmer
He's got it.
Big Cat
What? Oh, yeah.
Brandon Walker
Oh, you split.
Big Cat
Oh. So he was actually answering for the Pierce.
Brandon Walker
I don't know.
Zach
Three letters?
Big Cat
I think so.
Kate
Either way, still a while.
Big Cat
Still crazy.
Kate
Still. Still a fascinating answer.
Big Cat
Oh, man.
Che
You guys pumped for the World Cup.
Dana
Yeah, we'll be Hell yeah. Yeah.
Kate
Mexico.
Dana
Get starts started. What?
Big Cat
It starts 45 minutes live stream immediately following New York and also after that Doug stream where I think we're going to be. No, I'm playing. I got to beat the old one I haven't beat. So we're going to do Doug stream after the World cup stream and I'll be giving away some money in the chat for if we keep the sales going on stbluecoffee.com
Nikki
I just want to say pretty mad at you guys.
Dana
Oh, all right. Nobody gave me emotionally. I think we can handle that.
Nikki
Nobody gave me a condolence for the weenie walk getting canceled yesterday.
Big Cat
Oh, Nick, is it because of us?
Brandon Walker
It was the weather.
Nikki
No,
Brandon Walker
no, the ween. All the walkers were very supportive. They were on the Love Am clip.
Kate
They're very funny.
Nikki
I didn't hear from you guys when
Dana
it got canceled yesterday.
Big Cat
They.
Matt Olsen
They even.
Big Cat
They didn't. Didn't say anything about my comment.
Nikki
I haven't heard directly, but you know,
Dana
was it about a big woman?
Nikki
Were you not here for it?
Dana
No, I remember. Oh, oh, I thought you meant you commented on like their Instagram.
Big Cat
No, no, no.
Dana
Sorry about that.
Nikki
No, no, no one's mentioned the big woman potentially.
Brandon Walker
Were you disappointed that the walk was canceled?
Nikki
Oh, yeah.
Brandon Walker
And how was Ralph?
Dana
I don't think he knew.
Brandon Walker
Okay.
Big Cat
But he came all over me because
Brandon Walker
he busted on you.
Nikki
It was rescheduled for Saturday but I won't be here so I'll wait till next Wednesday.
Dana
Oh my God.
Nikki
You went to a wiener thing, didn't you?
Dana
I went to the biggest wiener dog
Nikki
that's dogs around, dude.
Big Cat
Yeah, I think we have the video from it.
Dana
No, I don't think we do. What's that gift? Shay? Kyle's back. Oh, wow. It's actual. Actual gift.
Zach
What is it?
Kate
It's actually pretty good.
Dana
How do you. How do you all know about this?
Big Cat
Chase said. I want to show you something real quick.
Dana
Oh, wow. Thank you, Jay. King of the South. Brandon Walker.
Big Cat
What if it's the bed sheet?
Brandon Walker
It's the period still perfectly fine.
Dana
Oh, oh, oh.
Zach
What is it?
Dana
Is this what I think it is?
Zach
What is that on the.
Dana
Is this the. Is this the key to Norfolk, Nebraska? Is this okay? Brandon, want to get that for you.
Zach
Brandon, Throw it against the wall.
Dana
Brandon, give it to me. Shut the fuck up, dude. Is this the. No key rests here. Within this space though one awaits in another place. This empty box is but a clue. Norfolk holds the key for you. Whoa.
Brandon Walker
My God.
Dana
Your key awaits in Norfolk. Contact this guy to unlock. What's next?
Che
Oh, no.
Big Cat
Steven.
Brandon Walker
Hey, did you get conned, Steven?
Kate
Steven told us it was.
Zach
There's no key.
Big Cat
Oh, no. Steven.
Che
I. I didn't want to open your gift. He said he sent me the key.
Dana
I got to contact Nick Stevenson to unlock. What's next?
Big Cat
You have to go to Norfolk.
Dana
I gotta go to.
Zach
Jay scheduled a one on one with all of us to tell us that he had the key for you.
Big Cat
Literally pulled me aside with like a
Brandon Walker
genuine one on one Private Brandon.
Big Cat
He pulled me aside. He goes, check this out. And I was like, what? He's like, I got the key to Norfolk, Nebraska for free.
Kate
We were so excited for you.
Dana
Your key awaits in Nor.
Zach
Go get it. That's so much worse. You just got punished.
Brandon Walker
Jesus.
Che
The guy reached out to me, was very legit and was like, we're sending it. They sent it Monday. And yeah, I didn't open it, obviously, because I thought I wanted to leave that for you.
Brandon Walker
Why is that a fork?
Kate
What does it say underneath it?
Brandon Walker
Is this a restaurant?
Dana
Because saying it wrong feels so right.
Nikki
People call it Norfolk Nor Fork.
Dana
People call it Norfork. I'll call it Norfolk. You have to go right now?
Kate
Yes.
Dana
Driving into the weather.
Big Cat
Oh, that's such changes gave you work.
Dana
Wait a minute now. A visitor's guy didn't.
Big Cat
I got duped.
Zach
You really did get.
Che
That was not meant to be.
Kate
The box showing all of us. It's like I have the.
Dana
I could go the River Point district. It looks incredible.
Zach
Yeah. You can kayak through the city.
Dana
Go to Elorn Valley Museum and Research Center.
Big Cat
Oh, no.
Dana
I'm so sorry. I'm so excited to.
Che
I'm sorry. Yeah, I got got.
Zach
Was anyone going to be around that area in the next week or.
Dana
No, I'm going to Norfolk, Nebraska and getting the.
Zach
Wasn't Ben Mintz going to be in Omaha?
Brandon Walker
Right up the road.
Dana
I'll chop you in the face. All right. Interesting facts about Norfolk. In 1868, German farmers asked what a post that a post office be established for their town.
Zach
German what?
Dana
German farmers bowers be established for their town of Norfork,
Zach
home of thorough Ravenscroft.
Dana
Really?
Big Cat
Who. Who's that?
Kyle Farmer
It's the.
Zach
The Frosted Flakes tiger.
Dana
Is it? Oh, he also did the voice the Grinch song. Did he not? Johnny Carson was more than that.
Zach
I'm high.
Big Cat
This has been a week.
Zach
Yeah, we try. We tried this. We just sampled this infused beverage.
Big Cat
What else?
Zach
It has like a delayed Effect. I went to the bathroom to try to, like, breathe manually.
Brandon Walker
I ran out.
Zach
I've been looking at you. I thought you were too. You're doing a better job than me.
Dana
But no, then you looked over at me.
Brandon Walker
You went like this.
Dana
And I don't know what that was.
Zach
Trying to tell you not.
Brandon Walker
Why did you do that?
Big Cat
Why?
Brandon Walker
You went like this down your eye.
Nikki
I wanted to be looking at my face.
Zach
I wanted you to bow.
Brandon Walker
Selfie camera.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dana
I gotta email this guy.
Big Cat
Oh, man. What?
Brandon Walker
It was just sitting up in our studio with this can of thc, and
Zach
I, I just took a little bit.
Brandon Walker
Oh, man.
Nikki
Ravenscroft, Kyle.
Zach
Thorough Ravenscroft.
Nikki
Is that real?
Zach
Yeah.
Kate
I can't look at Nick.
Big Cat
It's been a chaotic show.
Dana
Yeah, man.
Big Cat
So, I mean, I, I, I blamed it on Stephen for. In my head for starting us off, and that.
Brandon Walker
That's what really threw me into disarray.
Big Cat
Yeah. Are you, Are you.
Brandon Walker
Why don't we get this guy?
Dana
No, it says email him.
Big Cat
Yeah, tell him to come on. Yeah, let's get him on the Zoom. Send. Send the email to. To TJ and Josh.
Dana
Will.
Matt Olsen
Will.
Dana
Will. How about send it to Josh?
Big Cat
You send it to Josh.
Dana
Yeah. Okay. All right.
Big Cat
Kyle, when you were out trying to catch your breath in the bathroom, I said that we, the Dubuque mayor, we actually have a beef.
Che
Yeah.
Zach
It's not.
Big Cat
He emailed us.
Zach
It's. No, forever.
Big Cat
He emailed us and was like, I'm hearing that you guys trashed Dubuque. What's going on with.
Zach
Oh, that's what he said. I thought, what? But he's trying to come on now.
Big Cat
Well, he said he wasn't going to come on. We trashed him. Then he's like, hey, I'm just hearing that you're trashing Dubuque. What's up with that? So now I'm trying to get him on today to be like, here's the deal, man. You said you weren't coming on, so we had to trash you.
Zach
Are you sure you're going to be able to live up to the, to the rejection that you've planned?
Big Cat
What do you mean?
Zach
You're going to reject him? Yeah, definitively, yeah. What if he wins you over with charm and just general kindness?
Big Cat
I'm in for that.
Zach
Because I feel like he's gonna play
Big Cat
that, and I'm in for that.
Zach
And you're still gonna reject him?
Dana
No.
Big Cat
If he's super nice and it's like, hey, misunderstanding, be like, oh, cool, dude. We love you.
Zach
You sure?
Big Cat
Yeah. I want I want you to get as many keys in the state of Iowa as possible.
Zach
This is for me.
Brandon Walker
Have we had optics on this guy? Is he. Could he kick our ass?
Big Cat
I don't know.
Kate
Because that would make me respect him again too. What if you had a gun?
Big Cat
What if you had a hundred keys in Iowa?
Brandon Walker
That sounds like an Oscar winning movie.
Nikki
How the. Do you know Thorough ravens from Norfolk, Nebraska.
Zach
They don't have many.
Big Cat
Oh, oh, yeah. Now we can this guy up if we need.
Dana
I don't know.
Kate
He looks like a Baldwin brother. Does he not?
Brandon Walker
A little bit.
Dana
I don't think he does.
Brandon Walker
I was agreeing.
Kate
Okay.
Dana
Like, it's like Ian Rapaport's dad.
Brandon Walker
Okay.
Che
Yeah.
Zach
Let's treat it as like a. A showcase. Let's see if he can win us over.
Dana
Like I still.
Big Cat
Yeah, I agree.
Dana
Got right 100%.
Brandon Walker
Che pulled me aside this morning. Like Whisper told me it was like. And then if you could do some research on Norfolk, that would be great. All for this.
Kate
He was so excited about it. I almost feel like I saw the key when he showed the. But like that's how.
Che
Yeah, they told me they're sending a key. Can't open the guy's gift.
Dana
Okay.
Che
Got hand up.
Dana
You're sending me on a scavenger, huh?
Brandon Walker
Is that like the director of tourism of Norfolk?
Dana
Maybe.
Kate
I will say he's the only mayor to take the initiative to do this so far.
Dana
I don't know if he's a man.
Che
They have a. I think that guy is the director of communications. But they sent. They have a very, very active Facebook page. And I guess when you said that you wanted a key to the city, they clipped it and were like, should we give Brandon the key? And yeah, he reached out and all seen on the up and up and said they were sending the key and.
Dana
Well. It's okay. It's okay, Jay. I'll play his game. Okay. He wants to play a game?
Big Cat
Yeah. Let's go. Let's go, scavenger.
Dana
I'll play a game. I'll play a game with it.
Che
How far is that from us?
Dana
Eight hours.
Brandon Walker
Oh, they have cards.
Dana
I gotta go to Omaha anyway.
Brandon Walker
Oh, wait, really?
Dana
Yeah, I gotta pick up my banner. Oh, yeah,
Big Cat
by the way, let me do a quick ad. I've been thinking because we went to Vegas, what, a month ago? Had the best time ever. Yeah, I kind of got the itch to go back.
Dana
Really?
Big Cat
Like Dante. Yeah, come in back. You want to go? We. You haven't planned your bachelor party yet? Let me set the Stage for you. All right. We can gamble. We can go to the pool. We can go to the sphere. We can maybe get some dirt bikes.
Che
Really?
Big Cat
I. I don't know about the dirt bikes.
Zach
Get dirt bikes.
Big Cat
Yeah. Race dirt bikes. I'll figure that out.
Zach
You said enough. Golf, pool during the day. Sphere. That's like. Like gamble. Yeah, that's what I like.
Brandon Walker
Edm.
Big Cat
Should we do it?
Zach
There's gonna be that.
Big Cat
It is the best place for a bachelor party. So you want to do it?
Zach
It doesn't have to be my bachelor party, but, like, I'll attend.
Big Cat
Okay. All right, well, I've been. Yeah, I've been thinking. We got to get back to Vegas. So go to Vegas. Grab your bags, pack for Vegas.
Zach
Oh, this isn't.
Big Cat
We'll see you there for the summer. For the summer tournament. What? Oh, also NBA.
Zach
Serious?
Big Cat
Or like, you like what?
Matt Olsen
I just.
Big Cat
No, I do want to go back. That's genuine. And I had so much fun. I want to go back.
Che
A summer league.
Big Cat
NBA. Summer league.
Nikki
Yup.
Big Cat
It's probably gonna be the best summer league ever.
Nikki
The Bonsa.
Big Cat
Considering all the guys getting drafted, Peterson, that's gonna be incredible. Summer league.
Nikki
Oh, yeah. Say the. Say the. Say the date.
Big Cat
You gotta go to Vegas. Dana, by the way, have you been playing 32. Zero?
Nikki
Yeah, I got it on my second try and I haven't gotten it since.
Big Cat
Same.
Nikki
I think they do that on purpose.
Big Cat
I got on my, like, 10th.
Nikki
I think they. They try to get you early so you get hooked. Coming.
Big Cat
But I didn't even win the tournament.
Nikki
I won the tournament.
Big Cat
I've never won the tournament.
Nikki
Team was sick.
Big Cat
It's actually the best game. I know that everyone's made this game. That one's about.
Dana
Yeah.
Nikki
It just brings you back so many names.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, I like the football one.
Big Cat
Football one's good. This one. Have you played this one?
Brandon Walker
I don't know basketball well enough. I tried this one.
Dana
Played a little bit. Yeah. With Titus on the show.
Big Cat
Nice.
Brandon Walker
I tried the World cup one, too.
Dana
I can't.
Big Cat
No idea.
Brandon Walker
I know that. That was a challenge.
Big Cat
No idea what's going on there.
Brandon Walker
I've been playing a lot of Redactyl.
Big Cat
What's Redactyl?
Brandon Walker
It's like Wordle, but you get a redacted Wikipedia page and you guess word by word in the article. Then you have to guess the what article it is.
Zach
There's so many good, like, daily phone games now.
Kate
Can we do one? Can we do a Redactyl?
Brandon Walker
I don't even know if it's Good.
Dylan
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
So the. This Wikipedia article is a ten letter word followed by one letter.
Dana
One letter.
Big Cat
What the fuck, dude?
Zach
What is one letter one?
Kate
Like Tolkien rr.
Brandon Walker
Oh, yeah, forgot the J.
Nikki
Where's the toll?
Zach
These are all like.
Kate
Okay.
Zach
Prepositions and.
Dylan
Right.
Brandon Walker
So just guess a word.
Zach
These are all very clit. Guess a word.
Brandon Walker
Yeah.
Big Cat
Then can you. Can you get. Oh, hints. Can we get a hint?
Brandon Walker
Yeah, we can get a hint.
Reed
I guess if you type a word in and it's right, it'll.
Big Cat
It'll populate.
Zach
Already there. Maybe like first. First or last? It's everywhere.
Big Cat
Ignorant.
Brandon Walker
It's like you were looking right at 50 of them.
Big Cat
How could you?
Zach
I'm trying to brain.
Brandon Walker
He threw both of his hands up at you.
Big Cat
Those are already there.
Brandon Walker
He was shaking your skull.
Zach
Yeah, I'm trying to actually figure this out themselves.
Reed
I think somebody in chat guessed it.
Big Cat
What?
Kate
Oh.
Brandon Walker
Oh, they already did it.
Zach
Che. Yeah, there have been blank, blank, blanked.
Brandon Walker
And I've also been playing tune tones where it could.
Zach
Men.
Brandon Walker
Six men.
Big Cat
Do they show us?
Brandon Walker
You could click the word.
Zach
That was a really good guess.
Brandon Walker
No.
Dana
Come. Men.
Brandon Walker
So this is a boring podcast.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Kate
Okay.
Big Cat
That's actually kind of. I just wanted a rare combo of boring podcasting and boring visuals.
Brandon Walker
No.
Big Cat
Oh, yeah. Unless you're in. Usually when we do boring podcasting, it's great video.
Zach
No.
Dana
And usually you gotta sacrifice one. We sacrifice both.
Che
Yeah, we're.
Big Cat
We're doing both.
Brandon Walker
Doesn't sound or look good.
Zach
I hate that.
Brandon Walker
Whoopsie days.
Nikki
Do we find out what it is at least?
Big Cat
Yeah, Was watching.
Dana
You know what? We probably should have.
Zach
I think we could have had fun. People could have played along at the very least instead of talking about lousy it. Oh, this is such lousy podcasting.
Dana
I'm sorry. I apologized. I think we probably could have gotten that.
Brandon Walker
We all have our daily games is all.
Nikki
I'm going to Washington D.C. this weekend.
Dana
No, you and my widespread.
Nikki
No, me and K, we. Now that I say it out loud, doesn't sound much better than what Mincy's doing, but we're trying to build the biggest beer Snake ever for ufl.
Brandon Walker
That's beautiful.
Nikki
It is. It's gonna be awesome.
Brandon Walker
But how big is the biggest beer snake?
Nikki
1239, I think.
Zach
But does it require the beers or the cups to be finished?
Nikki
Yes. I mean, unless people are pouring them out, which is frowned upon in the beer community.
Zach
Where are you doing this?
Nikki
Washington, D.C. but like, at an event at a UFL game.
Dana
Yo, it's a championship.
Brandon Walker
It's their Championship.
Nikki
It is me packed.
Brandon Walker
Who's playing?
Dana
It will be. Yeah.
Nikki
What? Louisville and D.C. oh, nice. If you could. If you see us, come say hi.
Dana
I imagine they'll see you if you're. If you're gonna have 1200 cups in a row.
Brandon Walker
You'll probably have your shirts on though, right?
Dana
Yeah.
Nikki
Good one, Nikki. We're pretty predictable. You're on the same hp. Dive up the middle every time.
Big Cat
Power sweep every time.
Dana
It works.
Big Cat
Oh, man, it works.
Dana
That's fake.
Big Cat
Yeah, it does work.
Nikki
It doesn't get old.
Big Cat
Works, man.
Nikki
Yeah. And there's a. There's a. Isn't the UFC fight on Sunday?
Kate
Yes.
Big Cat
Oh, is that Sunday?
Kate
Robbie and Jack Mac are there right now. Like on the White House lawn.
Nikki
No.
Kate
Yes.
Big Cat
Prelims start at 4pm 4pm Sunday. And then the main card is when?
Reed
Probably like six.
Big Cat
Oh, I don't know. Okay.
Dana
Paramount plus Great sports weekend, man.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dana
NBA Finals, Stanley Cup. World Cup.
Big Cat
World Cup.
Dana
NBA Finals, UFC at the White House.
Nikki
That is just over.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nikki
So fast.
Big Cat
Well, no, the World cup is right. Literally starting.
Nikki
No, I know, but once that's done, it's just like.
Dana
And then. Are you closer to football, though?
Big Cat
Are you already saying the World Cup's over? No, we haven't started it.
Nikki
I don't know what I'm saying.
Big Cat
I think you're. You're sad that the NBA Finals.
Nikki
I am.
Big Cat
That's maybe only one more game left.
Nikki
That's basically what I was.
Big Cat
I was a little like. I was. That comeback was so incredible that I found myself being like, I can't believe you're about to do it. And I was like rooting for the nick. I didn't have a bet on the game. And besides, props. But the. I was a little sad. That was like, now Saturday might be it.
Che
Yep.
Big Cat
Yep. Because like, I was kind of looking forward to E6 would have been awesome. I do think the spurs might win on.
Dana
They could get six and then they could.
Big Cat
Because I, Stephen, assess this statement.
Che
Shoot
Big Cat
the spurs three years from now would dog walk the knicks. So in 2029, this spurs team is question didn't seem just as good, if not better than the Knicks. They are literally just too young and they up games in monumental ways. Game two and game three years.
Che
We're going to be a lot older.
Big Cat
No, I'm saying this year's Knicks team versus three years spurs team. Like you can pinpoint this series to be like the spurs are just not ready for it. Mitch Johnson has been atrocious. Like Wemby missing free Throws.
Dana
And they're one veteran.
Big Cat
Be throwing it off. Steph Castle. They've just blown games.
Che
Yeah.
Big Cat
I mean, I'm not saying it's asterisks or anything. It's. The Knicks are. Are part of winning the title is you have to have the ability to. To be good in these big moments that the spurs just can't. It's just like such a defined, to me case of a team just too young for the moment.
Che
Their youth and inexperience has cost them two games this year.
Big Cat
Yeah. Right.
Che
And that's tough to overcome.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Zach
Seems like the type of guy to respond really well to, like, extreme defeat and agony and like, become a much better person.
Dana
He's gonna have that chance.
Big Cat
Yep. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Dana
Well, I think the Knicks are going to win in six now it's over. I don't think after what the spurs just did, they can walk into that building again and win a game six. And I don't think the Knicks, this group of 12 Knicks has the ability to. They now have three shots at winning a championship. And that group of players is not going to go over three.
Big Cat
Yeah. And the spurs aren't going to go three and O in big moments.
Dana
Correct. I do think the spurs and the Knicks are very evenly matched. I would even say the spurs might be a slightly better team, but that doesn't matter when you. One team closes like champions and the other does not.
Big Cat
Yep. Agreed. So. Holy shit. You. You were the lone person who picked the spurs on this show.
Dana
I did think the spurs were the better team. Yeah.
Big Cat
Steven. Does he get off the list or just keep him on the list.
Che
It's fine. He was 51.
Dana
Yeah.
Che
He was kind of painted into a corner.
Dana
I think it's a great finals. It's been an incredible basketball.
Big Cat
This is one of the best.
Dana
And I would rather, if I was a rooting interest, I'd rather the Knicks win. They haven't won in 53 years. I want to see. I want to see it. I don't see the next one.
Big Cat
I agree. I. And also, like, I don't think I. I think we need to get a few more spurs beat. Fans beat up. Like, we haven't finished that.
Dana
Yeah.
Big Cat
And maybe we're not done with that.
Brandon Walker
Hey, do you think you're in danger now, officially?
Che
I'd hope not. I mean, it's me, memes and Zach
Brandon Walker
and you keep saying that.
Che
Well, I mean, we'll be traveling together and stuff like that, so it's not like, think I'll be in a Corner. But I think there's going to be a lot. I would be surprised if it's under 25. Knicks fans.
Big Cat
I think it's be a shitload of Knicks fans.
Che
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Is there a chance you'll weep?
Big Cat
Yes.
Dana
Wow.
Big Cat
Definitely. You need. One of. You has to have the Google glasses.
Dana
Okay.
Big Cat
Just so you know. Just remember to get that.
Dana
I think.
Big Cat
I think in Jordan's closet, they have some.
Che
Okay.
Big Cat
But I want that. I'm excited for you boys. I can't believe that it worked out like, the way that first half went. I was just like, this might be it. They might be going to San Antonio to watch the spurs just suffocate the Knicks.
Che
I was questioning everything at halftime. You guys were all checking on me. Like, morale check. How's it going, Big cat? I'll give you credit. You were the positive person in the group chat.
Big Cat
I was. I was being nice to you.
Che
I think you said, there's plenty of time.
Big Cat
Plenty of time. And I was back on Rutgers. Yeah. And I was like, it's the. The biggest story of this entire series is how did the Rutgers men's basketball team with Dylan Harper not make. I think we can all agree on that.
Nikki
He's so good.
Big Cat
He's. Dana. He's so good.
Zach
And he.
Big Cat
They didn't make the tournament.
Nikki
They might have two generational players who. That's my take. The Spurs.
Dana
I.
Big Cat
It could be. It could be three, I guess. Steph Castle might not be generational, but Steph Castle.
Nikki
I don't want to get ahead of myself, but Dylan Harper's so good.
Big Cat
Steph Castle might be the next. Like, Seth Castle is going to be their third best player of this core. And I. He reminds me of Jimmy Butler.
Nikki
He's got a little kawaii in him.
Big Cat
Yeah, a little. But maybe not the shooting of Kwai, but like the Jimmy Butler. Like, it's a dog, just like in the bully. Like, gets to his spots and, like, defensively can just shut you like that.
Che
Yeah. He was my biggest worry going into the series because you kind of know what you're gonna get from Wemby. Like, he's gonna be. He's probably the best player in the world right now. So, like, you know that. But Castle has the ability to be very good and also potentially. I'm not gonna say shut down, but, like, limit Brunson and I thought it was very interesting last night. There was a minute left in the game. Castle stepped out, and Brunson was trying to call for a review because he was trying to get Castle fouled out because he didn't want him on him.
Big Cat
Yeah. Wemby's problem though is he's. He's a big dog that thinks he's a little dog sometimes. Yeah. You know, he's like 150 pound dog that thinks he's a Chihuahua. Like that end of the game, he was just, just floating out.
Che
It was gas.
Dana
He felt again the whole second half. The two day versus three day rest are huge for him.
Big Cat
Yes, huge.
Dana
And now the series is nothing but three day rest. So if there is a little window crack, it's. It's because of that. I also.
Big Cat
It's weird. Everyone's like, oh, yeah, well, Wemby's like, he's gonna be great. But oh, he'll probably get injured because big guys, I think he's more. I think he's more in line with like a Hakeem or like Kareem than like a Shaq or. You know what I mean? Like some of the big guys that get hurt. Like he is. He's so. He's so skinny. Like Kareem didn't. Kareem played forever.
Dana
And he's not carrying too much on his frame, right? Yeah.
Che
I mean, there's not really much to go off of. Of comparables because like, nobody's really had a body like that. Like, we're seeing Chet right now.
Big Cat
Taller Durant having some issues.
Che
Yeah, Taller Durant. What is the public, non Knicks fan perception of Wemby right now? Is he an asshole?
Dana
No, I don't. I think the Knicks have created this version of him. That's just ridiculous. I love him where he's a cocky asshole or he's a dirty player. Like, that's just you guys being too sensitive in the moment. I think he's just the face of the league who's not quite ready, who's getting his LeBron 2007 moment.
Nikki
It's like everyone, everyone wants the 90s back. And then he's actually being a little bit of a prick out there. And then they're like, oh wait, that's too hard.
Dana
Well, the Knicks are also just beating his ass up because that's the best way to beat him. They're just being physical as shit with him and when it. Whenever he pushes back every now and then they're like, oh my God, he's pushing us.
Nikki
Yeah.
Dana
And that's the way you got to beat him. That's.
Big Cat
Yeah, I think it's like, it's, it's. You could look at it and be like, Wemby Is being an asshole or Wemby sticking up for himself. He's basically saying, don't shove me around. I'll fight back.
Che
I think the only thing I would point to is the Brunson shove. Like, that was a bit unnecessary. Oh, I mean, and Alvarado the game
Dana
before, but, like, Alvarado shot his leg last night. And how was that not a flagrant foul?
Che
I did not think. I also didn't think the Wemby flagrant foul was a flagrant foul. And there's the story.
Dana
Alvarado attacking his leg was a flagrant foul. When they were away from the play and there was no reason to even touch him.
Che
He, like, lifted him up and then one before. Like, I didn't. I didn't think that was unnecessary follow through. I thought he, like, grabbed him for a second. Was like, what am I doing?
Dana
Why is he touching him at all?
Che
He was trying to box him out. I. I would be surprised the Wemby flagrant foul isn't rescinded today. Because if he gets another one, then he's suspended. Technically.
Dana
Yeah. All right.
Nikki
Good ball talk.
Dana
Yeah. Love a lot of ball talk. A lot. A little ball talk, not a lot of ball. Oh, you are right.
Brandon Walker
Kate didn't like the ball talk.
Kate
Oh, Reed.
Dana
Oh, boy.
Kate
By the lake with a girl would be unreal.
Dana
I think I might take shroom soon. This is from Reed. Maybe by the lake with a girl would be unreal. I feel like. Might not send this tweet out because. Scared what my bosses might think. Big cat.
Big Cat
Yeah, get him in here.
Kate
I feel like people think mushrooms are different than what they are.
Dana
I have never tried them. I don't know what I think they are.
Zach
I feel like people think that it's like a trip fest.
Big Cat
Yeah, no, that's what I think.
Matt Olsen
No.
Dana
What are they?
Kate
Unless you accidentally take too many. But it's kind of hard to do that.
Dana
I think of you seeing, like, psychedelic. Psychedelic colors in the air.
Nikki
What I've heard is, like, it opens. Opens up your mind and makes you, like, feel things that you. That you might not have felt.
Dana
I don't know.
Nikki
What am I trying to say?
Dana
Like, in a bog, like, thing, like,
Nikki
things become more clear to you, like, your thoughts.
Dana
Thank you, Nick.
Zach
Yeah. Not the biggest shroom guy I've never indulged.
Brandon Walker
Would you want your mind opened?
Dana
Like your butthole in the box?
Kate
Like, to gape your mind?
Nikki
Stop talking about the box. Yeah, but I'm afraid of drugs, so.
Che
No.
Dana
Yeah.
Kate
Because if you started thinking about space.
Nikki
Oh, exactly.
Brandon Walker
That's over.
Nikki
Yeah, no, I mean, it'd be if I was guaranteed to not freak out. Yeah, I would do it.
Dana
We have a guest.
Big Cat
Oh, we have a guest. Oh, I think our guest could be one of two.
Dana
Could be one of two.
Kate
I feel kind of.
Big Cat
Well, Dubuque mayor might be on anytime.
Brandon Walker
Oh, I'm afraid I think we might
Dana
have Nick from Norfolk, Nebraska.
Big Cat
Oh. Ah, hey, Nick.
Reed
What's up?
Big Cat
How we doing?
Nick from Norfolk
Doing good. How are you guys doing?
Big Cat
We're doing great. So you sent Brandon on a scavenger hunt?
Nick from Norfolk
Well, you could call it that, yeah. You know, I respect Mr. Walker just like the next guy, but no one's going to get a key to Norfolk, Nebraska without coming to this great place.
Dana
Okay. All right. So you're telling me the key is mine for the taking, but I gotta. I gotta come to Norfolk, Nebraska to get it correct.
Nick from Norfolk
And I can guarantee a great time. Have you ever surfed before? You can surf in Nebraska. You can come surf in Norfolk.
Nikki
We'll.
Nick from Norfolk
We'll treat you like the king that you are here.
Dana
Oh, God. Can I just. Can I leave now?
Big Cat
Yeah, come right ahead. How far away is it?
Dana
Eight hours.
Zach
Was it man made tubing and kayaking rapids that run through the city?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nick from Norfolk
Yep. So we have a. We have a river that goes through portion of our downtown. And the past couple years we've turned into like seven drop structures. So you can kayak it, you can surf down it. It's great, great experience. And who would not want to see Brandon on a surfboard surfing on the north fork of the Elkhorn River?
Dana
Well, Jeff D. Lowe has us in prison next week, but as soon as I can come out there, I'm coming out there.
Big Cat
Wow, perfect.
Nick from Norfolk
We would love to have you. We'll roll out the red carpet for you.
Dana
Okay, well, I'm coming to get my key. How are you gonna come in to get my key?
Zach
You gonna pay for your own flight or.
Dana
I'll probably just drive. Eight hours. Probably. Probably. Nice.
Brandon Walker
That's a pretty.
Nick from Norfolk
If you need help with the expenses, Brandon, just let us know.
Brandon Walker
We can do be vulnerable. So you need help with the.
Kate
Nick, are you from Norfolk? Am I saying it right? The T shirt message?
Nick from Norfolk
Yeah. No. So, yeah, Norfork is. What is the correct way? Those that say Norfolk. Those. They got lost.
Big Cat
But yeah.
Nick from Norfolk
So I'm about. Originally I'm about 4 bars from 40 minutes south of Norfolk, but I've been
Kate
here for almost 10 years.
Dana
I always just talk about Norfolk. Because Johnny Carson grew up there.
Nick from Norfolk
Exactly. You could. You could visit the Johnny Carson statue. We have. His boyhood home is here as well.
Dana
Now we're talking.
Zach
There we go.
Dana
Let's go, Brandon.
Zach
And you got thorough. Ravenscroft
Nick from Norfolk
Regis. We heard you. When you said. When you said Norfolk, Nebraska, there was a lot of people that. Their jaws dropped like. Wait, what did he just say?
Dana
Well, when I was In Omaha in 2021, I almost took a day trip out there, but I chickened out. Something. Something happened. I chickened out. My producer wanted to lay in the bed and eat cookies or something, but I. But I've always wanted to come Norfolk, Nebraska, because Johnny Carson's my number one guy.
Brandon Walker
A lot of notable people.
Big Cat
Who else is notable from Norfolk? Nick?
Nick from Norfolk
Notable?
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nick from Norfolk
Johnny Carson's.
Big Cat
What?
Nick from Norfolk
We. I feel like we latch on Johnny Carson a little too much, but he's.
Big Cat
He's.
Nick from Norfolk
I mean, he's the guy.
Big Cat
Is there anyone else, though?
Nick from Norfolk
You're looking at him, honestly.
Kate
Okay.
Brandon Walker
Actors. Athletes. Voice actors.
Big Cat
Anyone else?
Nick from Norfolk
Oh, yeah, the guy. The Frosted Flakes guy.
Brandon Walker
Oh, no.
Big Cat
What's his name?
Nick from Norfolk
Ravenwood or something. Brandon, help me out.
Dana
It's thorough. Ravenscroft, I believe, is what's going on.
Nick from Norfolk
So you guys know more about Norfolk.
Reed
Look at him.
Big Cat
Daryl Ravens.
Kate
This is a real thing.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
Brandon Walker
This was just a kv.
Kate
Youth brain.
Big Cat
No, Ravenscroft.
Nikki
Yep.
TJ
Yeah.
Big Cat
Good.
Zach
Yeah.
Dana
Good pool.
Big Cat
Nice. Go ahead, Nick.
Nick from Norfolk
I was just gonna say, we know, Represent. Late night tv, the greatest breakfast cereal as well. So why not. Why not come get a key from Norfolk?
Dana
I'll see you in a couple weeks.
Big Cat
I don't know about greatest breakfast cereal.
Dana
It's up there.
Nikki
It's really good.
Big Cat
Mount Rushmore.
Dana
Tony Frost place is comfortably on Mount Rushmore. Yeah.
Big Cat
No, no, I said Mount Rush.
Dana
Okay, okay.
Big Cat
I don't know about.
Nick from Norfolk
I mean, if you're talking about Mount Rushmore, that's. You can say it's one of the greatest.
Dana
Yeah, but you did say the greatest.
Brandon Walker
I think it could be argued for the greatest.
Big Cat
I don't.
Dana
It has an argument. Listen, I know cinnamon toast. Be tough.
Big Cat
You're taking Frosted Flakes over Lucky Charms. I think that Lucky Charms. I think if I had to have
Brandon Walker
one cereal for the rest of my
Dana
life, I think I'm taking Frosted Flakes.
Zach
It was better. There's better flavors and textures.
Big Cat
I mean, if I'm taking one cereal for rest of life, I'm taking Cheerios.
Nick from Norfolk
Right? Just regular Cheerios.
Big Cat
Yeah, just straight down the middle. No. Yeah, for the rest of your life. Better for the rest of your life. Dude, when you're Like Cinnamon Life Toast Crunch has a cinnamon likes.
Nick from Norfolk
If you're doing Cheerios, you might as well do Honey Nut. I mean.
Dana
Correct.
Big Cat
No, because, listen, I like to put, like, a little banana or blueberries in my banana.
Dana
Blueberries.
Big Cat
You can't put that with Honey Nut.
Brandon Walker
You like that more than the cereal.
Dana
You can put bananas with Honey Nut.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Nick from Norfolk
Honey Nuts.
Zach
You Absolutely. I used to do that, too.
Big Cat
Sweet.
Dana
No, it's not cereal sweet.
Big Cat
Listen, I'm not saying. I'm not stumping for cheers. I'm saying if the rest of your life, you only get one cereal, I think you got to go with the most basic one.
Dana
But that's what's miserable.
Nick from Norfolk
You know what?
Kate
You're gonna.
Nick from Norfolk
You're gonna feel that's a mistake after the first bowl.
Nikki
Thank you.
Dylan
Thank you.
Big Cat
All right, Nick.
Brandon Walker
Thank you, Nick.
Dana
All right, Nick, I'm coming. I'll let you know. I'll email you, and then we'll. We'll go from there.
Big Cat
Thank you so much, Nick. We appreciate it. Very funny that there was not a key in there.
Nick from Norfolk
Well, we. We want him to come experience the great things that we have to offer.
Big Cat
Yeah. It was a great moment. So thank you so much, Nick.
Dana
Kick.
Reed
Yep.
Big Cat
Awesome.
Nick from Norfolk
Thanks, guys.
Big Cat
See ya.
Kate
There you go.
Nikki
Not to suck up, but Reese's Puffs are my favorite cereal.
Big Cat
Yeah, I. I listen, if you said.
Dana
Oh, yeah.
Big Cat
If you said to me, you gotta have us, like, give me a bowl of cereal, like, tomorrow. I'm not taking Cheerios. Because there's like, 10 cereals that are
Nikki
for the rest of your life, right?
Big Cat
Saying rest.
Nikki
You'll never get sick of it.
Big Cat
Right? You're just like, you gotta have something. I might actually go check.
Dana
I think that's a crazy way.
Big Cat
I might go checks.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah.
Big Cat
You don't like checks.
Kate
That's eating cardboard.
Dana
Oh, what? It's always Cheerios.
Big Cat
No, it's not. Do you know what checks are?
Dana
Yeah, she's right. I'm gonna check.
Kate
Cinnamon Life is great.
Big Cat
Checks is Chex is not cardboard.
Brandon Walker
Checks is boring.
Dana
It's boring. Why do you want a plain cereal? Okay.
Big Cat
Rest of your life.
Dana
Trying to live 90 years.
Brandon Walker
Are you confusing rest.
Big Cat
You're not leaving 90 years if you're eating Cocoa Puffs every day, buddy.
Brandon Walker
Restaurant life with every day.
Ethan
Yeah.
Zach
Is it the only cereal you can eat or.
Matt Olsen
Yes.
Big Cat
I'm saying, like, you have to eat it every day for the rest.
Nikki
Oh, that's a whole different conversation.
Dana
That's a whole different one. Cereal. Rest of your life right now. What is it?
Nikki
You got to Eat it every day.
Dana
Fruity Pebbles.
Kate
Oh, my God.
Big Cat
We're doing a UFL read real quick. Can you guys. Can you give the people a preview of what you're gonna do? What? At the game. Beer Snake.
Dana
And how you gonna do it? Take my shirt off.
Big Cat
Yeah. Yeah.
TJ
Are you.
Big Cat
Yeah, of course. Yeah.
Dana
It's going to be hot as.
Nikki
I love that.
Big Cat
Why are you guys predicted? No.
Dana
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
The free space of the bingo card.
Big Cat
Cal, she wouldn't even put it on
Brandon Walker
the iconic green mic.
Big Cat
Doesn't even give you the option.
Brandon Walker
Oh, a Dana K. Bingo card would be so fun.
Nikki
It'd be like four spaces.
Brandon Walker
Every space would be a free space. Oh, I got tongue out.
Dana
Twenty.
Brandon Walker
Beer.
Big Cat
Drink a beer.
Brandon Walker
Oh, you guys gotta make one.
Nikki
It wouldn't be much to add the same every.
Big Cat
Eat something fried, drink a beer, take shirt off.
Dana
Wowed by something simple.
Nikki
Wouldn't even make. You can't even make five in a row.
Big Cat
Reed. What's up, dude?
Reed
What's up, bro?
Big Cat
How we doing? You could do some shrooms.
TJ
Yeah, I think I want to for sure.
Big Cat
So do them.
TJ
Is that okay?
Big Cat
What am I gonna. I don't know.
TJ
I was kind of scared of, like. I don't know. I feel like taking shrooms is kind of, like, frowned upon now. You know what I'm saying?
Big Cat
I think it's the opposite.
Brandon Walker
How about you take them and at the peak of your high, you give big Cat a call and make sure it's all right.
TJ
Or I just like. Yeah, I just like, kind of like film all of it. You know what I'm saying?
Brandon Walker
That's not a bad idea.
Zach
Oh, yeah.
Big Cat
I wouldn't do that. No, if it was your first time. No, no, no.
TJ
It's my second. Okay, second.
Big Cat
All right. But. And I want to do it with
TJ
a girl, though, so I need to find a girl to kind of do nice. I feel like that'd be kind of fun. You know what I'm saying?
Dana
Why a girl?
TJ
Cuz to just like, touch be.
Big Cat
No, to be with a girl. Not to be my dick. No, no.
TJ
To be with a girl, like, on shrooms.
Nikki
Like, that'd be.
TJ
That'd be like. Like insane. Like, I just like. What's up? Just, like, see her, like, curves.
Kyle Farmer
Yeah.
TJ
And beauty, you know, it's like a special moment.
Big Cat
Yeah.
TJ
You know, just like.
Brandon Walker
You grazer soft.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Reed
Good.
TJ
Yeah.
Nikki
100.
TJ
But I need. I need a girl to do that first.
Brandon Walker
So put on application.
TJ
Yeah. Really? You think I should.
Zach
Who's your top candidate right now?
TJ
Like a girl. I Don't know. She's got to be in Chicago, right?
Zach
Because you don't have anyone. Any options.
TJ
I do have a couple, but, like, not like, I don't know if I'd feel, like, comfortable kind of doing shrooms with them, you know? Because that's like an intimate kind of moment, you know?
Nikki
Read. What if. What if she was wearing red?
TJ
Then I would never take shrooms with her, dude.
Dana
What if she.
Nikki
She was wearing a sweatshirt and she took it?
TJ
Oh, my God, dude. I don't even know.
Big Cat
He doesn't like the color red.
TJ
No, I don't like red.
Big Cat
We're not here. When we talked about this. He doesn't like the color red because it's so close to his name.
TJ
Yeah, I'm sorry. You don't know that, though.
Zach
Yeah, I know I did.
TJ
I definitely should have told you that. That's my bad, bro.
Zach
Yeah. I thought you said something else after that about taking a sweatshirt off.
TJ
Oh, yeah. No, Wait, what? I switch it off.
Zach
I don't know.
TJ
Oh, no.
Matt Olsen
Yeah.
TJ
Yeah. Are you. Are you high?
Zach
No.
Kate
No.
TJ
That's what I heard. Oh, I. I heard. I heard you're high.
Big Cat
No, dude, I also.
TJ
Dude, being high on here would be crazy.
Big Cat
Be chill about it.
TJ
Yeah, sorry about that. Sorry about that, guys.
Big Cat
What's going on? Reed's World right now. I saw you did an Instagram post. Didn't make it.
TJ
Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
Big Cat
I was brutal.
Brandon Walker
What happened? You post?
Big Cat
Yeah, like, first Instagram post since I've blown up. Thank you, everyone. And, yeah, just kept on hitting next, next, next.
TJ
Oh, okay. Well, Cat, because I don't think we have any pictures together.
Big Cat
Let's take one. Yeah, no flick up.
TJ
Yeah, dude. Yeah, we'll for sure have to take one, and then I'll post it on my.
Brandon Walker
Well, I thought he was gonna want to do it right now. Yeah, yeah, one day.
Reed
Do it.
Big Cat
At some point we'll get.
TJ
Oh, you want to do it right now? Okay.
Matt Olsen
No, no.
Big Cat
My first post on Instagram changed my life. I love you guys. Look at this. You and Brie, everyone. Yeah. Yeah.
Brandon Walker
There's my hoodie.
Dana
It's you and the boys.
Big Cat
Yeah, there it is.
TJ
Yeah.
Big Cat
There's Donnie. You've known him for, like, two seconds.
TJ
Yeah, dude, I up double Dante.
Big Cat
Yeah.
TJ
Yeah, because he just. Yeah, he takes a lot of pictures.
Big Cat
Yeah, I don't.
TJ
Dude, that's the problem. I don't take pictures at all, to
Big Cat
be honest with you.
TJ
But, yeah, no, definitely. We'll have to take a picture.
Dana
Walk over here. By big cat.
TJ
And just take a picture.
Dana
Yeah.
TJ
And just like post it right away, I think.
Nikki
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
TJ
Hey, dude.
Big Cat
Hey, you have that option and, and
TJ
caption it the cat.
Nikki
Let's go.
Big Cat
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
TJ
I like that for sure.
Dana
What pose you're gonna go with?
Big Cat
I don't know.
Dylan
We'll figure it out.
Dana
Do you want to be a selfie or you need somebody to take it?
TJ
No, no, I think, I think it's. Yeah, I think a selfie is more like intimate, you know what I'm saying?
Matt Olsen
All right.
TJ
I like that for sure.
Big Cat
We do. The last day.
Dana
Yeah. What is it? Dj?
Reed
Pepsi.
Dana
Pepsi. Look at us.
Brandon Walker
Mikey Betts said Reese's Puff as well.
Dana
I've been wanting to drink this Pepsi the whole time.
Brandon Walker
I've been sipping on mine.
Dana
Pepsi. Zero sugar. The best tasting. Zero sugar. Cola is preferred by nearly two thirds of Americans in a nationwide blind taste test.
Brandon Walker
Ooh, nice, Kate.
Dana
You have to wonder who the third would be. Kate. For soccer fans gathering around the food, Pepsi is match day beverage. It brings out the best in every bite. Watching soccer and eating food is delicious. When you have it with Pepsi, it's like your team scoring a last minute game winner. It just tastes better. Match day deserves Pepsi. Food deserves Pepsi. Brandon Walker deserves Pepsi.
Brandon Walker
You're goddamn right.
Dana
Thank you for Pepsi. I look at the boys out there.
Kate
What if Reed on mushrooms is just a normal dude?
Brandon Walker
Oh, my God. I don't like how this feels. That's my normal guy voice.
Dana
It sounded a lot like Tom Tucker.
Brandon Walker
Thank you.
Dana
Yeah, you're welcome. Tom Tucker holding a gun finger gun
Kate
up to his head.
Dana
Why is Big Cat? Was Big Cat always backwards?
Kate
He is holding a gun.
Brandon Walker
No.
Dana
Or did he change? Oh, that's giving him options. All right. Well, folded arms there.
Nikki
You gotta go up high. You gotta go up high with the arm.
Dana
Yeah, he didn't do many down low.
Nikki
That's getting the chins in there.
TJ
Me in the cat or the other cat? No, I. I just said me.
Dana
Wow. Really seeing the magic happen right now.
Kate
My mom's group taught me you use another phone's flashlight to shine on you and then you take the picture with another phone. Everybody looks really good.
Dana
Is that okay? Never mind.
Zach
Is any. Is anyone in your mom's group, like way younger than the rest of you guys?
Dana
Kyle?
Kate
No, we're all pretty old.
Dana
They're older.
Zach
That's good. Oh, they are, are they? Are their kids the same age?
Kate
Yeah, but they're also way better looking than me. Am I right?
Dana
She's with some Some foxes. They're foxes, Kyle.
Kate
Yeah, it's like a freakishly milfs. Great looking group.
Zach
They think I did see some. Yeah, they were.
Brandon Walker
You had. It was a beautiful group of moms.
Dana
The hot mom.
Nikki
Can I see?
Brandon Walker
And they were fun off camera?
Kate
Certainly not.
Nikki
All right, fine.
Kate
They are fun.
Dana
Did they. Did your mom group prefer any barstool employees?
Kate
They loved Dante and they loved Cody.
Dana
Cody.
Kate
Cody has a picture with all of them and they like, want him to join the book club.
Dana
Dante.
Kate
They loved Cody. They could not believe he was getting married.
Big Cat
What?
Matt Olsen
Why
Dana
is it posted? Yeah, yeah, it's out there.
Big Cat
Yeah.
Dana
Oh, wow.
Big Cat
Wait till you guys see it.
Matt Olsen
That's fire.
Big Cat
Cat, you were fire too.
TJ
What's up, Dana?
Nikki
What's up, dude?
TJ
I feel like I haven't talked to you in like, forever.
Nikki
I know. Yeah.
TJ
I gotta start talking to you more.
Nikki
Yeah, I know, dude.
Big Cat
I feel like Cat. Just another day at the stool fire, dude.
Kyle Farmer
Wow.
Dana
Wow.
Nikki
Did you do the. A whole lot of pictures you taught
Big Cat
me with the cheeks? Oh, no.
Nikki
You gotta start doing that.
Big Cat
My new move is to go hands in front.
Kate
What's the cheeks?
Big Cat
Yeah, sucking a little.
Dana
Sucking your cheeks like a fish.
Big Cat
Did you do you go hands in front? I go hands in front now.
Dana
I took an awesome.
Big Cat
Oh, I did go to the Stella Blue Instagram. I took an awesome picture, Dana, where I just. I was literally just flexing.
Brandon Walker
Flexing.
Nikki
Really?
Big Cat
But it looked so awesome.
Nikki
Yeah, I've been having bad gut pictures lately.
Big Cat
Right there. Look at that. Look at.
Kate
Whoa.
Big Cat
Dude, that might be my new stance.
Dana
Whoa.
Che
Yeah.
Big Cat
Just holding my arms and just flexing.
Brandon Walker
I just can't even look at bodies. I thought Max was you. That's how. That's how you typically look.
Big Cat
That's the new. It's like you're holding a golf club at all times. Yeah, that's my.
Matt Olsen
A new.
Big Cat
That's my new move.
Dana
Zach copy you there or you copy Zach?
Big Cat
I don't know. Z. Zach's got his own swag.
Dana
I don't.
Big Cat
Yeah, that's Zach's hand. But I. I feel like as guys, we don't have. We don't have like, good. Like, hey, this is my go to.
TJ
Like. No, I. I totally agree with that.
Big Cat
What?
Nikki
There's a picture of that. You taught me how to do the cheeks. And you look, look, your. Your jaw looks so chiseled.
Big Cat
Oh, yeah. Just sucking in.
Nikki
But I've never been able to do it.
Big Cat
People are so obvious do it though, that. It's like people get on me for being obvious.
Nikki
You look chiseled. I'll just send to the act.
Dana
Oh, God. And Dana, you look horrible. Oh, Dana, Dana.
Nikki
Yeah, I tried to do it. I tried to do the.
Big Cat
Oh, yeah, that's me.
Dana
Just.
Big Cat
That's me biting both of my cheeks.
Nikki
Is that how it.
Big Cat
Dana, what is. What was going on with you?
Dana
I don't know, Dana.
Nikki
I was there in the mullet stage.
Big Cat
It was weird beard, dude.
Matt Olsen
I know.
Big Cat
It looks like you have pubes on your face.
Nikki
I know.
Dana
Where were y' all going? It's a private plane.
Big Cat
I think that was maybe a rough and route. Oh, that might have been.
Nikki
That was Indy 500 party.
Big Cat
Oh, yeah.
Kate
Look like.
Big Cat
Yeah,
Nikki
yeah. Look at this. Look at. He tried to teach me that I didn't know how to do.
Dana
Your fingers are even fat, Dana. Oh, yeah.
Big Cat
Oh, God. Yeah, those look like I didn't even.
Nikki
Look at me in that.
Big Cat
They look like little smokies. Put a little tooth picking them and eat them.
Dana
Oh, fat baby fingers.
TJ
Yeah.
Nikki
But now I. I still try to do the. The cheek thing and I can't figure it out.
Big Cat
Oh, man.
Reed
All right, I got something.
Dana
What you got?
Reed
There's a clip from the yak one month ago today.
Brandon Walker
Oh, no, Brandon, I can't wait for you getting hats.
Dana
I can't do hats.
Brandon Walker
Not yet.
Dana
No, I don't think I'll ever be able to do hats.
Kate
What about visors?
Brandon Walker
Not you're.
Zach
You're thinking too narrowly.
Brandon Walker
You're thinking.
Zach
You're thinking of baseball cap.
Dana
You're thinking of fedoras.
Zach
There's so many more hats out there that you could.
Big Cat
Yep.
Zach
You could get it.
Dana
If I walked in, give me any variety of hat. If I walked in here tomorrow wearing a fedora, you fight. You six would have the grandest time of your life.
Brandon Walker
It'd be the best thing that's ever happened.
Zach
Oh, my God. A cowboy hat brand.

Dana
What hat screams? I'm doing quite well.
Kate
Hat with a feather.
Dana
A hat with a feather. Like, all right. Cam Newton feather.
Kate
Yeah.
Dana
Okay, done. You think I just reach out and get Cam Newton's hat guy? Probably not. That's probably not.
Brandon Walker
I think Ron knows him.
Dana
Ron knows Cam Newton or Cam Newton's hat guy?
Big Cat
Hat guy.
Dana
All right. Reach out to Rome. See if I can't find me a hat guy. I owe you guys a hat. I. I acknowledge that. I apologize.

Nikki
Oh, my God.
Big Cat
Please, please, Brandon.
Kate
You have to.
Big Cat
You have to. Brandon, in next week, just surprises with the tall Atlanta Braves.
Dana

Brandon Walker
We need the tall.
Dana
Need tall Braves.
Big Cat
Tall Braves is.
Reed
Way to go, Google Cam Newton hat.
Dana
Okay.
Big Cat
Oh, man, that's funny.
Dana
What if I find a better hat there?
Big Cat
No, there's no better hat than that.
Brandon Walker
That's the best hat in the world.
Dana
All right, all right.
Dylan
Come on.
Dana
How much?
Nikki
One.
Dana
$450.
Big Cat
Holy crap.
Kate
Oh, that joke's gonna be totally worth it. We're gonna.
Dana
Yeah, you're right.
Big Cat
We're gonna remember it.
Brandon Walker
We've spent more on significantly less.
Dana
Yeah, you're right.
Big Cat
All right. Good show today, boys.
Dana
It was a show.
Reed
Ethan posted a game one preview for the World cup, if you want to.
Dana
Oh, yeah.
Big Cat
Let's see it.
Reed
The World Cup.
Big Cat
With that, I feel like the Braves. Whoa. Oh, I'm old.
Ethan
Welcome to of World Cup Vacation, a video. I will be doing every game of the World Cup.
Big Cat
I'll put these out.
Ethan
Kickoff a little excited now, so I'm
Big Cat
just doing it now.
Ethan
We're about two hours away from an hour and a half away from kickoff.
Dana
Typically.
Ethan
Want to.
Kate
Are we sure we didn't just make him up?
Ethan
I don't know.
Kate
This is our imaginary friend in a
Ethan
cave going to win the World Cup. It's never really that easy if you pay attention to these tournaments.
Kyle Farmer
Beep.
Ethan
So, yeah, I'm just gonna give it to you straight. I have a lot of biases and stuff. Ethan, what are your credentials? I don't know. Wearing a Jean Philippe Mateta French kit. Not many have those.
Zach
So.
Ethan
Match one of 104, Mexico versus South Africa. The opening match of this World Cup. In Mexico. And we'll just start right off the bat and saying, I will never pick the Mexican national team to do anything ever. Not in this lifetime, not in the next lifetime.
Kyle Farmer
Never.
Ethan
So that being said, I will go for a 11 draw with the South Africans. I don't think either side necessarily has the firepower. Is there a world where this could get out of hand and the Mexicans win? Like three. One, two, one.
Dana
Not exciting.
Ethan
That two one's really not out of hand.
Brandon Walker
But yeah, it elevator exciting.
Kate
Videos from yesterday.
Ethan
I won't be picking he and then
Kate
posted a photo of the dog taking a. And the leash was between its legs and it was taking a on the leash. And then he had to address people being mad at him for letting the dog on the leash. So if you look closely, the dog
Big Cat
is on the leash.
Brandon Walker
And again, this is his one job.
Big Cat
Oh my God.
Kate
Make a video rebuttal. His only for anybody accusing him of letting the dog on the leash.
Ethan
Making this video to address the allegations that there was poop on the leash. There was no poop on any leash.
Big Cat
Not that leash.
Ethan
Certainly not that leash. It may have looked like it, but that leash was fully away from ever
Big Cat
being in danger of covered. Is he okay?
Zach
No, not at all.
Dana
Just a hair.
Nikki
I don't know if I've ever seen someone with that hair.
Brandon Walker
I think he's starting to disappear, dude. He's like slowly going opaque.
Nikki
It's like a1of1 hairstyle.
Big Cat
He looks like. He looks like a hermit that has just come out of the woods. Been living in the woods for 15 years by himself.
Nikki
It sticks up.
Big Cat
Shaving his. He's been shaving his face with a clam.
Nikki
Like dog ears. His head is.
Big Cat
What is it?
Brandon Walker
He's like shaved. It's not that he doesn't care because you can tell he's shaving this side. So like, there's a plan.
Big Cat
He looks like a streamer that was like went to like the Philippines prison. And it's like 485 days and they finally released.
Zach
Unbelievable.
Kate
Well, his uncle's like. They took the couch. They are moving. So maybe he's to going. Going through a change.
Big Cat
I need to see. I think he's got to go slip back here for. For Vegas. Yeah, we gotta do something about that.
Reed
Is that soon?
Big Cat
Yeah, I think it's fourth of July. He's got to get cash. He's got to come get cash. All right, great. Great yak everyone. Yeah, that was a lot of fun.
Dana
I'm out tomorrow.
Big Cat
Back on Monday. Okay.
TJ
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
We got to end this.
Big Cat
Yeah. Kyle and Nick, you get. We got to get you out of here.
Zach
Stuff to do.
Big Cat
Got to get you out of here.
Brandon Walker
Oh, me?
Kate
We're good.
Dana
No, no, it'd be funny.
Big Cat
All right. See you tomorrow. Talk shop is the act.
Dana
It's the act.
Big Cat
All right.
Zach
Stay tuned.
Reed
Here. We'll kick you over to the soccer stream.
Kyle Farmer
Love you guys.
Reed
See you tomorrow.
Big Cat
Bye.
This chaotic edition of The Yak features the usual crew—Big Cat, Brandon Walker, Kate, Nick, Dana, Rone, Lil Sas, Steven Cheah, plus special guests Matt Olson, Kyle Farmer, and Dylan Lee of the Atlanta Braves. The episode is a classic Yak blend of absurdity, sports banter (mainly NBA and MLB), inside jokes, and guest-driven fun. The central thread is Steven Cheah’s "gift" for Brandon—a scavenger hunt for the "key to Norfolk, Nebraska"—but the show also includes MLB "Gauntlet" challenges with the visiting Braves and dives into everything from dog periods to the NBA Finals.
As always, the vibe is irreverent, ridiculous, sports-obsessed, often crass, and fully self-aware—classic Yak.
This episode is a quintessential slice of The Yak: sports meets absurdity, guests up for anything, and a running bit that pays off with a ridiculous scavenger hunt. If you like your sports podcasts with zero respect for the fourth wall (and plenty of poop/silly body part talk), this is a must-listen.
