2. The Art of Sliding into DMs: Titus' Story

• Core Segment: [13:10–15:32]

  • Titus reveals how he met his wife through Instagram DMs.
    • Reluctance at first: "A mutual friend was just like, you should... connect with her. And I was like, that's weird." (13:35, Mark Titus)
    • His approach: Instead of standard heart eyes or flames, he replied to stories—even non-funny selfies—with crying laughing emojis.
    • Results: "She said the reason I caught her eye was because... I was negging, got to get it, slow down." (14:19, Mark Titus)
    • It stood out because it was different from thirsty or obvious responses.
    • Actual start: She eventually messaged, "What the f*** is your problem?" and it turned into a real conversation leading to their relationship.

• Notable Quotes:

  • “That’s legitimately the first communication I ever had with my wife was a crying, laughing emoji on Instagram.” — Mark Titus (15:32)

• Discussion about DM etiquette, liking stories vs. posts, whether men stand out in Instagram comments, and whether setting up friends is dead.

• [13:33–18:14] Current vs. Past Generational Approaches

  • Connor: Younger people rarely get set up by friends now; “I don’t think people are proactively saying, hey, I have this friend who I think you’d be good with...” (16:29)
  • Group consensus that being set up by a mutual friend can carry extra credibility and comfort.

• [27:13–29:32] Networking and socializing with clients, and the discomfort of being at “upfront” events as content, with Mark and others humorously recapping Barstool’s “platinum dinner” snub (“they actually don’t have a table for you, can you just tend bar?”).

• [31:13–32:55] On Barstool personalities (like White Sox Dave) attempting stand-up, with playful critique and behind-the-scenes anecdotes.

---

4. DM Culture, Dating, and Privacy Concerns

• [21:12–25:02]
  • Connor shares discomfort with DM screenshots; Titus and KB suggest he’s overthinking, as long as he’s not sleazy.
  • Users discuss Instagram’s “vanish mode,” privacy, and whether IG, Twitter, or TikTok is the ideal venue for DMs.
  • Flirting vs. embarrassment: The group notes any screenshotted flirtation will always seem awkward out of context.

---

5. Esports ‘Bush’ Team and Barstool Video Game Ventures

• [44:00–47:30]
  • Update on the Call of Duty challenger team “Bush Boys”; their roles as GMs, the social media hype, and event success.
  • “Nobody has ever paid attention to the Call of Duty challenger scene... It’s a big f—ing deal. They’re breaking through big.” — Connor (45:58)

  • Quote: “If you take a woman to a honky tonk and you don’t know how to dance, she is gone. She is not yours.” — Kyle (53:19)
  • Not enough in-person group activities now; group classes as a method for adult friendship.

---

7. Life, Work, and Whimsy

• [87:10–88:32]
  • Mark discusses fear of time moving “too fast” and the internet concept that “adding whimsy” to life can slow perception of time.
  • KB’s suggestion: “I think the best way to make time move slowly is to constantly suffer and have horrible days.”

---

Overall Tone & Takeaways

The episode’s energy is a mix of playful hazing, introspective conversation, and NSFW absurdity—true Barstool fare.

Meanwhile, discussions about hobbies, office culture, and family life keep the conversation grounded and relatable.

[Kyle]

It's the best coffee.

Definitely.

[Kyle]

For sure.

[Connor Griffin]

Yep.

[Kyle]

For sure. For sure.

[KB]

And you're supporting us. You're funding our trips. You're funding my trips to Polynesia. You're saving dogs.

You're going to Polynesia.

[Connor Griffin]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Titus]

I always forget. Yeah, I always forget. We have scoof. Hosting.

[Connor Griffin]

Hosting. Yeah.

[Shay]

I mean, don't be nervous, I guess.

[Kyle]

Connor, what a week.

[Mark Titus]

If you already took T. Bob's job, might as well.

[Connor Griffin]

I didn't take T. Bob's job.

[Mark Titus]

But you thought about it.

[Connor Griffin]

No. No, listen, it was fun. It was fun to wake up barstool, but T. Bob's coming.

[Kyle]

If the Fox execs came up to you and were like, we want to stab T Bok T. Bob in the back and make you the host.

[Connor Griffin]

No.

[Kyle]

What do you say?

[Mark Titus]

What if the Fox execs came up and said, either the show ends or you take over out of respect for

[Connor Griffin]

T. Bob, I'd say then. But then, do I have too much power? If I'm then deciding whether or not the show ends, I'd say T. Bob is the guy, and then we'll go from there. I'll lay my jersey down on the table for T. Bob.

[Shay]

He's not listening.

[Mark Titus]

So we lose out on so much money, people would probably get fired.

[Kyle]

A lot of people on the street.

[Connor Griffin]

But again, I am not

[KB]

I 10 dogs.

[Connor Griffin]

I mean. I mean nothing to that show.

[Mark Titus]

Matt Tanton, the producer, you want him fired?

[Connor Griffin]

No, no. Matt's a great guy. So is Jeremy. So is everybody. But no, I was just there temporarily for the week, but it was fun. I had a blast. And Nick just came to me, like, two minutes beforehand, was like, hey, you want to yak today? I said, sure.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah. That's how it went down.

[Connor Griffin]

Been a very, very fun.

[Mark Titus]

I had to get you away from Mince pulling everybody aside, telling them the same. Same story about winning money.

[Connor Griffin]

I haven't gotten it yet.

[Mark Titus]

Okay, you're due.

[Connor Griffin]

I have not heard it, but actually,

[Mark Titus]

do you just want to walk by and see if he gets you?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, actually, here.

[Mark Titus]

Let's see. Where is he telling? Probably cornering somebody.

[Connor Griffin]

I'll be right back.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Careful.

[Mark Titus]

All right, Good luck. Yeah. Host is gone, so. Oh, there he is. Getting somebody.

[Kyle]

So.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, it's.

[Kyle]

Oh, he was. He was heavy on Arkansas, and Arkansas got absolutely smoked last night. And people both last night and this morning are treating Mintz like a very close relative. Relative of his has passed because he was close with.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kyle]

And they're just like, Mince, I'm so sorry, man. About Arkansas. He's like, yeah, it's all right.

[Mark Titus]

You know, doing the rounds, telling, I'll be okay. This one's a hockey thing.

[KB]

Oh, people are feeling for him.

[Kyle]

Yeah, people. He was lava hot. Like, that was his. That was his.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Thing for a little bit was that he. He just does not miss. And then he missed in a big way.

[Mark Titus]

Last but Iowa and Green Greg. Yeah, he was running down the streets.

[KB]

Did you see that Green Greg get paid?

[Mark Titus]

Green Greg? I mean.

[Kyle]

Yeah. Pay Greg running through the. The strip mall in suburban Kansas City was Greg.

[Mark Titus]

Is that what he was doing?

[Kyle]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

He's getting less green. He's been doing it.

[Connor Griffin]

Come on, let's go. We did it. Well, he did it. Let's go. Let's go.

[Kyle]

Yes.

[Connor Griffin]

Iowa. It was always Iowa.

[Mark Titus]

And Papa Best sees that and gets it. I get it. I get.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

I should. Yeah.

[KB]

Champion.

[Mark Titus]

I feel bad for.

[Kyle]

Jerry did say he wasn't giving any money to Greg, right?

[Mark Titus]

He did say that.

[KB]

How was the team? He's teammates with Jerry, and they won how much money?

[Kyle]

30 grand, I think. Ch. You're on the team. How much ch.

[KB]

You won.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Me, Jerry and Greg, 30 large.

[Kyle]

If.

[Danny]

If Iowa wins on Saturday, it gets boosted by Experian, another 10k to 40.

[Mark Titus]

And who do they. Who will they play?

[Danny]

Illinois.

[Mark Titus]

Damn. What a tough task.

[KB]

Elite.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Look, he's. The green is still on, but it's not enshrouding him like it used to be.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Fascinating.

[KB]

What are you gonna do?

[Shay]

How'd it go? Connor?

[Connor Griffin]

No, he's too busy talking to Annika about how his pools open up soon.

[Mark Titus]

Oh, no. Shut up.

[Connor Griffin]

No, no, I'm kidding. But he was talking about hoops. He. About, you know, Anaka, Arizona alum. So I think they were just talking about.

[Kyle]

They're talking about Arkansas, right?

[Connor Griffin]

Well, they were talking about the game and how much. Yeah, it was just.

[Kyle]

That's what I was saying when you left. Like, everyone's treating Miny like. Like someone close to him died because he was. He was so in on Arkansas.

[Connor Griffin]

Oh, yeah.

[Kyle]

And it's just funny to watch him just be like, yeah, no, man, I thought. I really thought.

[Connor Griffin]

I really did, but he kind of disregarded me. No.

[Mark Titus]

The days after he wins something big or I think about not coming in. Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Really? Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

That's what he did. Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

I did not see this. Okay.

[Mark Titus]

He ended up getting like three. 500 bonus bet or something.

[KB]

Wow.

[Danny]

Three $847 in bonus bets.

[Mark Titus]

Okay, nice. Because he took Alex bump mark.

[Connor Griffin]

I'm telling you, by the way.

[Kyle]

You are.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

On the baseball. One good man.

[Connor Griffin]

20 cents. I'm going to put it in.

[Kyle]

20 cents to win $250,000.

[Mark Titus]

Oh, yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

My three pick. Parliament Rockies to win the NL west, the Nationals to win the NL east, and the Angels to win the AL West. And the. The Nationals and Angels are both 1 0.

[Mark Titus]

Oh, my God.

[Kyle]

The Rockies haven't played yet. We're a half game back from the Dodgers from winning this bet.

[Mark Titus]

What's your cash out right now?

[Kyle]

18 cents.

[Connor Griffin]

It's my favorite thing.

[Mark Titus]

If the cash out gets to like, $4.

[Kyle]

I think I have to do it.

[Mark Titus]

You almost have to do it.

[Kyle]

Yeah. It's big money to draft kings over a barrel at that point.

[Connor Griffin]

He texted, the group chat, the screenshot of when he placed the ticket, and I. I got goosebumps whenever. Whenever he. He makes that bet every year.

[Kyle]

Plus 124 million.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Plus 124 million. It fires me up every single time.

[Mark Titus]

But, you know, I like those odds.

[Kyle]

There you go.

[Connor Griffin]

I'm going to tail it. I'll be on it.

[Mark Titus]

Nice.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Kyle, TCU shout out. Do you think that was intentional they

[KB]

tweeted KB going to have that in relation to one of their players, but then the initials. Kb.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[KB]

Rifam Zuzu. Lickety lickity zuzu.

[Mark Titus]

Which is.

[KB]

Isn't that their chant?

[Mark Titus]

No way.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't think so.

[Mark Titus]

I feel like if you would were to say that you know the answer.

[KB]

I. Yeah, I don't. I remember they were in the championship a few years ago.

[Connor Griffin]

They were.

[KB]

I remember hearing that something about. It was something.

[Mark Titus]

Dr. Suan Blackman sent me to TCU instead of Georgia for that one to do. Man on the street.

[Connor Griffin]

I remember that was one of the saddest videos I've ever seen.

[Shay]

Thanks, man.

[Connor Griffin]

Not because of anything you did. You did everything that you could do, but that's a terrible circumstance.

[Mark Titus]

They were, like, down by 60 in the first quarter.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, 65.

[Mark Titus]

And I got sent to TCU on, like, it was like, a break.

[Connor Griffin]

They were on break.

[KB]

They were on break.

[Connor Griffin]

Nobody was there.

[KB]

Cinderella, run.

[Mark Titus]

Riff Rambazu.

[KB]

Oh. So I was, like, kind of close or spot on.

[Mark Titus]

A lucky guess.

[Connor Griffin]

Lickety, lickety, lickety licky zoo, zoo. Wow.

[KB]

Oh, give him hell, TC. Oh, it is Dr. No, it's interesting.

[Mark Titus]

More like a Dr. Seuss.

[KB]

Oh, and I. Yeah, that's what I thought.

[Connor Griffin]

Okay.

[Kyle]

Yeah, that's my team.

[KB]

I don't have a team. Last year was Iowa State.

[Mark Titus]

Now it's tco.

[KB]

Yeah. I don't know. I like. I like how they lean in. Purple to purple. Rare.

[Mark Titus]

Oh, no, have that.

[Kyle]

That as fat.

[KB]

KB gonna have that.

[Connor Griffin]

All the replies.

[Mark Titus]

Wait.

[KB]

Oh, it's KB Fast.

[Mark Titus]

Maybe on the roof.

[KB]

Wait, who tweeted it? Tcu Barstool.

[Connor Griffin]

No, Wait.

[Mark Titus]

What's the football.

[KB]

What's the other video?

[Mark Titus]

Scroll down. Tj. What's the video with him in the hat?

[KB]

Go.

[Mark Titus]

Scroll up.

[Connor Griffin]

Opposite of that.

[KB]

Yeah, that Regio. I wanted a Pinot Grigio and some head.

[Mark Titus]

Oh, they got some hits.

[KB]

Dude, I'm a TCU guy. I love their mascot.

[Shay]

You know, it's a really. A really underrated video of yours. When Rudy accidentally puts a chair on

[KB]

your toe during the stream. Yeah, that was a big controversy.

[Mark Titus]

That was like a Tom and Jerry Yelp.

[Connor Griffin]

You let out the loudest scream ever. Immediately.

[Shay]

Yeah, and you took it personally.

[KB]

You guys tried to denounce my Yelp.

[Mark Titus]

I thought it was a bit performative,

[KB]

but it hurt nonetheless. A lot hurts.

[Connor Griffin]

Oh, I. That original video of KB and Ebony. I just started following Ebony on Instagram. The best follow that I've. I've ever made.

[Mark Titus]

Her stories.

[Connor Griffin]

Her stories are crazy.

[Mark Titus]

There's a world out there that I have no idea. She teaches me things.

[Kyle]

What's she up to? Give me an example.

[Connor Griffin]

It's not even what she's up to. She just lets out her thoughts.

[Kyle]

Oh, she does a lot of, like, selfie videos.

[Connor Griffin]

No, no, she types it out.

[Mark Titus]

It's almost like a journal. Yeah, it's almost like a journal. And she's like, need to suck some dick.

[Connor Griffin]

My.

[Mark Titus]

Tasting like water.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

She's like, you know, love a man with a big nose. It's easy to sit on or. Yeah, like, stuff like that.

[Kyle]

And this is your favorite account, you said.

[Connor Griffin]

It's. It's. It's funny. I'll just be, like, looking through my stories and everything, and then I just pop up on Ebony and I read what she has to say. I'm like, okay, there you go. I know what she's thinking for the day, and then I move on with my. With my life.

[Shay]

Are you throwing a rogue heart on a story here and there?

[Connor Griffin]

Not. Not just rogue, like. Yes.

[Mark Titus]

Is that how you flirt?

[Connor Griffin]

That. No, not how I flirt, but it's how you could, like, plant a seed.

[Mark Titus]

You're a single man now.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Kyle]

Do you.

[Mark Titus]

If you see a girl that has, like, 400,000 followers, she posts a picture of her flat tummy. Do you. Do you like it? In hopes that she'll like.

[Connor Griffin]

No.

[Mark Titus]

Do you like posts like that?

[Connor Griffin]

No, that. That's way too out of the range. Okay. It's got to be way, way.

[Mark Titus]

Because we work with dudes that'll just be like, yeah, I'm going to like that. She'll see this.

[Shay]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

No, no.

[Kyle]

There's dudes in the comments of hot girls that are just say, you're so beautiful.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

And that doesn't stand out. Doesn't work, right?

[Connor Griffin]

No, no. Unless you are.

[Kyle]

Feel like.

[Connor Griffin]

No. Unless you're the equivalent of her attractiveness, but in a male. Like, if you are that smoking hot of a dude, then yes, maybe you could grab somebody's attention like that. But you're not doing.

[Shay]

Try reposting it.

[Mark Titus]

Oh, post on your story.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, maybe. No, especially now that these days, like, not many people are posting on the actual timelines.

[Danny]

A whole lot.

[Connor Griffin]

A lot of the time they're just posting on their stories. So. Yeah, I'll show love to a. To a story every now and then.

[KB]

What?

[Danny]

Didn't I feel like Mandy Moore got married to a guy who likes a regular dude who just slid in her dms?

[Mark Titus]

No way.

[Kyle]

Really?

[Danny]

I think so.

[Mark Titus]

Because probably nobody's Doing it. And so he was probably. Her shit's probably dry. Her inbox is dry.

[Connor Griffin]

Okay, I thought you're talking about something else.

[KB]

I thought you're talking about FA Dry. Former coach of the TCU Horn frog football.

[Mark Titus]

Oh, FA dry.

[KB]

FA dry. Back in the day. Same with CE Crunk anymore.

[Kyle]

And Taylor Goldstein's relationship from DMS to Dream Wedding. How about that?

[Mark Titus]

Look at that dude. But wait, who. But who is he?

[Connor Griffin]

Is that the dude he's got?

[KB]

But he's got to be nobody hate that dude.

[Shay]

He looks like a formerly popular band's manager. He's not just a.

[Mark Titus]

He can't just be a guy.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Oh, she was a fan of his band.

[Mark Titus]

Oh.

[Shay]

Oh, I nailed it.

[KB]

And she followed him for a band.

[Kyle]

All right, all right. Come on.

[Connor Griffin]

But still. Dms. Oh, whoa.

[Shay]

[Danny]

All right, that changes my whole narrative.

[Kyle]

What? What?

[Danny]

Which I thought that she didn't know him and he was just a fan of her and was like, when he.

[Kyle]

No, it was the opposite fan.

[Connor Griffin]

She slid into his.

[Kyle]

She slid into his DMs.

[Mark Titus]

That's Riz now.

[Connor Griffin]

DMs are great.

[Kyle]

That's how I met my wife. I'm not kidding.

[Mark Titus]

You sleep in your dms.

[Kyle]

I, I, I had like, a, A mutual friend. I don't know how to describe it. A mutual friend was just like, you should. I, I, I know of this woman that you should pursue. And I was like, that's weird. And I was like, what does that mean? And they were like, you should just like, she. Here's her Instagram. Like, connect with her.

Yeah, like, through my wife was. She worked in sports media, so it was like, just like a friend of a friend type thing. And he's like, I think you guys would be great together. I was like, that's, I don't know how to go about this. I'm not of that general. Like, this was not part of my dating lifestyle. So I was like, what do you. What I do? There's like, just slide into the DMs. I was like, what the does that mean? And so what I did, and this is a true story, she would post on Instagram and I would swipe up and do crying, laughing emojis. They'll tell you. If she was here and you asked her, she'd be like, yeah, I thought something was wrong with you.

[KB]

Like, the longest time you did this multiple times.

[Kyle]

Yeah, she. It would just be, like, innocuous, where she was just like a selfie.

[KB]

Yeah, she Was like, why are you laughing, Mark?

[Mark Titus]

Yeah. She posted a picture of herself.

[KB]

You're like, this is hilarious.

[Kyle]

She said the reason I caught her eye was because, like, other dudes that were sliding into DMs were, like, hard emojis or, like, heart eyes or whatever. And she. And, like, I was negging. Got to get it. Slow down.

[Mark Titus]

Yes, please.

[Kyle]

I nagged her.

[Connor Griffin]

Whoa. Oh, my God.

[Mark Titus]

It's like watching man on Wild Knievel

[Connor Griffin]

without.

[Kyle]

Without realizing that's what I was doing. Because I just. I was so stupid with, like, how to. To be. But the.

[KB]

The laughing wasn't contextually appropriate.

[Kyle]

It was a time like. Like, there was one time she went with a friend to. To Disneyland and they went down what's the Splash Mountain?

[Shay]

And she.

[Kyle]

She, like, had, like a. It wasn't funny at all. Yeah, it wasn't even close to funny, but I was just like, yeah, that's funny funny. And I did that for a few times. And, yeah, she. She's.

[Mark Titus]

So did she send the first words to you?

[Connor Griffin]

That was a big time.

[Kyle]

What the is your problem? Yeah. And then. Yeah, that's kind of how it started. And then at some point, I think I said something to her. I was like. I think she was like. She posted like, a story where she was like, in my neighborhood, and then I was just like, oh, I live around the corner, or something like that.

[Mark Titus]

Oh, it works out.

[Kyle]

I don't know. Yeah, I went from there.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

That's. That's legitimately the first communication I ever had with my wife was a crying, laughing emoji on Instagram.

[Mark Titus]

So you're onto something, Connor.

[Kyle]

So there you go.

[Connor Griffin]

Well, I didn't know it to that extent. The story.

[KB]

I think that's the safest way to meet a partner is through a friend.

[Mark Titus]

Definitely.

[KB]

Both parties are at their most comfortable.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

And, you know, they're normal.

[Kyle]

It was sort of a setup, but it was also set up in a very bizarre like, that it just did not feel natural to me. So I wasn't sure he was. My friend was like, you got to slide into her DMs. I was like, I don't know how you do. What does that even mean? Because I. It just seems creepy to be like, you're high and someone said we should have sex.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Right.

[Mark Titus]

Meeting through a friend is great, too, because, like, the pressure to not break up, to ruin the friend group is immense.

[KB]

Yeah. So then. Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

But that is something.

[KB]

S. Out of fear.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't think, like, my current generation and generations, like, below Me, I don't think people are really setting people up anymore.

[Mark Titus]

No?

[Shay]

No.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't think people are proactively saying, hey, I have this friend who I think that you would be good with. Like, you guys should meet up. I don't think that happens a whole lot anymore.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Whereas it used to be seemingly much more of common practice. Yeah. But now with everything.

[Kyle]

Well, how would you handle that? If I. If I had someone that I thought

[Connor Griffin]

was good for you, I. I'd go out with them in a heartbeat. If. If I had the. The patented Mark Titus recommendation, which I absolutely would, because I take all your recommendations.

[Mark Titus]

I think I have somebody for you.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah? Yeah. Okay. Why? I would jump at the chance.

[Mark Titus]

You're in.

[Connor Griffin]

Sure. Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Okay.

[Connor Griffin]

Do you think now. Now you're scaring me.

[Kyle]

Why?

[Connor Griffin]

Because I. I know you. But I. I trust you. I'm gonna trust you on this one. Okay. And I will go through with. If it's a blind. It. Whatever the case is, I'll do it.

[Mark Titus]

Deal.

[Connor Griffin]

But I also know that you have a devious side to you.

[Mark Titus]

No, I do not. Yeah, I do not. That's a lie.

[Kyle]

Connor, you know women better than anyone.

[Connor Griffin]

I mean.

[Kyle]

Yeah, that's true. Do you think they like that? The idea of them being set up? Or did they. Do you think they feel like they're cattle or something? Like.

[Connor Griffin]

No. Yeah. Not. Not to speak for women or anything like that.

[Mark Titus]

You're the mouthpiece of women.

[Connor Griffin]

I. I guess so. I guess so. No, I think that it would be probably preferred because of how digital the. The world has gotten and how much dating is done over DMs and stuff like. Which obviously, like, that's still fun and everything. That's still great and dating apps still great, but I think there is a lack of in person stuff that this generation is typically associated with. And if they're being set up with by a real person in real life, with a real person in real life, then that would be.

[Kyle]

There's something preferable. There's something to be said about someone vouching for this.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, exactly. It's extra credit.

[Mark Titus]

You're putting your reputation on the line.

[Shay]

I think once you get to, like, your 30s, it's slim picking. So they wouldn't take it as an insult.

[Connor Griffin]

That too, like, you don't even care

[Shay]

what you look like, what you're like, as long as two people are single. Like, oh, you should talk to this person.

[Danny]

Our matchmakers as a profession, I feel like those are still very prevalent, but I feel like maybe for older I

[KB]

think they're picking back up. There's a resurgence.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, that was Danny.

[Mark Titus]

Would you recommend going on a reality show and having thousands of people pressure her into doing it?

[Shay]

Helps get the hard part out of the way.

[Mark Titus]

She had to save her career.

[Shay]

Yeah. Crying after sex on a live stream works every.

[Mark Titus]

That's. That's beautiful too, man.

[Shay]

But back to the liking the stories. I feel like the heart being the go to is, like, way too aggressive. At the bottom, though, it should be, like the thumbs up, if anything.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Shay]

And you were saying you throw a heart here and there, it might not be the move, because then if you see that girl in. In real life, it's the equivalent to the guy in the corner not saying anything.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

It's like, no, no. That serves in many ways as a precursor to then opening up the. The conversation later on. Or if you do see them in person, you at least have.

[Shay]

I think girls are out on the solo. Like, the solo Instagram story. Like, I don't think it's doing enough.

[Mark Titus]

Did you see the rapper? Somebody was screenshotting. He kept on. He's like, always sends, like, D7F6, and they're like, what? He's like, I'm just trying to get a snack.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

And, like, so many women would be like, yeah, he did that to me too.

[KB]

That's so good.

[Kyle]

That's good.

[Mark Titus]

And everybody's just like, yeah, he got me too, bro.

[KB]

I would spam that if I coined it.

[Kyle]

That's good. That's really good.

[Shay]

Love it.

[Connor Griffin]

This. This is. I mean, very funny. It's a great line, but as Mark knows, it's part of my problem. Screenshots at dms. Was he the one who released these dms?

[Mark Titus]

No, but also, he's a famous rapper,

[Connor Griffin]

so perhaps I just. Airing out dms. I hate Conor.

[Kyle]

Hates that dudes can't be horny online anymore.

[Connor Griffin]

No, it's not. It's not just horny. It's just, you know, respect the. The privacy.

[Mark Titus]

I. I would love a Snapchat of half your face doing puppy dog eyes responding without me when she says she has to shower.

[Connor Griffin]

Carson Beck. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, no, not that down payment.

[Kyle]

Is Instagram still the app of choice?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, for sure.

[Shay]

They got Vanish mode.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Which I didn't realize was a thing. I heard that in a. There's a 21 Savage song I heard that in, and I was like, what the hell is that? And then I actually experienced. Oh, Vanish mode.

[Mark Titus]

But vanish mode. It can still be screenshot, though, right?

[Connor Griffin]

Yes, but as soon as you exit out of the conversation, then you can't go back to it. And I found that out.

[Mark Titus]

The day your DMs leak will be, I will be at the office, 5am I will do, like, a salt gargle. Ready to speak. I would be. I want to be talking clear.

[Connor Griffin]

No, there's nothing bad in my dms. It's just. Yeah. Like, if I'm reaching out to somebody, even, like, there have been situations in the past where professionally I've been talking with people and everything, and I don't

[Kyle]

want that out there.

[Connor Griffin]

I want to keep that to a personal conversation. So.

[KB]

Got you.

[Connor Griffin]

That's just me.

[Mark Titus]

But, like, is there anything, like, a compliment you've sent a girl that could, like, any sort of.

[Connor Griffin]

I mean. Yeah, like, out of context. And I think this has been talked about on the show before. Anytime you're trying to flirt with somebody and it gets screenshotted and put out to outsiders who aren't in the conversation and obviously don't have that relation that you and this person have. The girl, guy, whatever. Like, it's gonna be weird. Like, it's going to be viewed as.

[Mark Titus]

I think you're overthinking it, though, because, like, if I saw yours actually come out.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

I would just be like, yeah, he's a single guy doing this.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. But at the same time, you know, it can definitely be interpreted as like, oh, this horn ball and blah, blah. Oh, like, he has no.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, you might be overthinking, but if it was. If I saw your, like, Instagram profile picture sending a message saying, like, that belongs, I would. It would be the best thing that ever happened, probably. Titus.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Holy. The. Who's the Maroon 5 guy?

[Connor Griffin]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Your body.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[KB]

Holy.

[Kyle]

Oh, holy.

[Connor Griffin]

Oh.

[Mark Titus]

I'm naming my.

[Connor Griffin]

That was one of them, right? That was one of the messages. Yeah. Yeah, no, I'm not. I'm not doing anything like that. Nothing too crazy.

[Shay]

But you're not going in the Twitter dms, right?

[Connor Griffin]

No. Yeah.

[Shay]

That's weird.

[Connor Griffin]

That's heinous.

[Kyle]

That's reserved for Penn State quarterbacks.

[Connor Griffin]

Yes. That's for Drew Aller. Brady Quinn as well. Brady. Brady Quinn and I have been in the dms.

[Shay]

But are people sliding in DMS on Tik Tok?

[Connor Griffin]

Not. Not that I've experienced. Just because my. My DM or my TikTok is still relatively new.

[Shay]

Slide in the Connor's DMS, girls, if

[Connor Griffin]

anybody wants to follow us. But, you know, I have to follow.

[Shay]

Just sign it.

[Connor Griffin]

I. You know, I haven't Experienced it.

[Mark Titus]

Were you asked to do summer house or spring? Spring house, Spring break house.

[Connor Griffin]

I wasn't, but Brandon was trying to get that started.

[Mark Titus]

Would you want to. Are you could. Are you a Vegas party guy?

[Connor Griffin]

I've never been to Vegas.

[Mark Titus]

Really?

[Kyle]

Never. Never been to Vegas.

[Connor Griffin]

We talked about this when we had a Rochelle Ryan on the. I've never been to Vegas, but I

[Kyle]

don't think I was here when Rochelle Ryan was on.

[Connor Griffin]

That's true.

[Kyle]

It would have gone down very differently.

[Connor Griffin]

Very, very differently if I was.

[Kyle]

If I was here. It would have gone down.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, no, I've never been to Vegas.

[Mark Titus]

Oh, we were pressuring you to try to sleep with him.

[Connor Griffin]

Yes, absolutely.

[Mark Titus]

Without.

[Connor Griffin]

And I. I had. I had people just calling me a bunch of different names for refusing to. To go.

[Mark Titus]

Were you dating somebody at the time?

[Connor Griffin]

Okay, no, but I mean, yeah, I just. I was in no position to fly out to Vegas and with the spring break, spring break house, I would be in no position to say no. Like, if they asked me, like, yeah, sure, I go. But I also don't think that would be.

[KB]

But do you want to go?

[Connor Griffin]

Not necessarily.

[KB]

I think it would be. Would it be valuable?

[Kyle]

Do you.

[KB]

Do you think to your.

[Kyle]

It's okay to want to go. Say you want to go.

[Mark Titus]

That's how Danny got on.

[Kyle]

That is.

[Mark Titus]

He was a late addition.

[Shay]

They don't like that on the show.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, you don't get asked back for next season.

[Kyle]

That's true. Brandon's idea for Connor is for him to get sunburnt. And then every single clip of Connor is just him, like, putting aloe on and just like, have a good. Have a good time at the bars, guys. I gotta stay home.

[Connor Griffin]

And I mean, that would legitimately be. I'd like to think, yeah, I could have fun out there, but it would be a bunch of, like, me just being an absolute corny dude like that. That would be the con.

[Mark Titus]

But, like, can you hang? Like, are you the same type of socialite as Nikki? Smokes and Katic?

[Connor Griffin]

Fuck no.

[Shay]

Yeah, I think that's good, though. You need the contrast.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, maybe.

[Shay]

It's funny, that's what they could call you, the contrast.

[Connor Griffin]

Katic was on Love this morning. And like, every single commercial break is just like, I would just love a beer.

[Kyle]

He's just like.

[Connor Griffin]

And he would say like that. I just want. I want two beers, three beers, four beers. My dude, it's like 8:30 in the morning.

[KB]

He's thirsty.

[Connor Griffin]

Exactly, exactly. But I cannot keep up with that.

[Kyle]

Speaking of that, you see Ella Griff is. Oh, making some waves on the Internet.

[Mark Titus]

She did have the worst take ever.

[Kyle]

Yeah. As, as we say in bar, in the critics, as we say in Barstow parlance, it broke containment. I had people, I had people texting me, like, you, do you work with her? Do you know about her? Like, what, Tell me everything.

[Mark Titus]

And it's just next to Katic, who's wearing his hat comically sideways, like agreeing and then he fist bumps generation.

[KB]

It's the difference between weekdays and weekends

[Connor Griffin]

is like night and day.

[KB]

Back then everyone used to go out

[Connor Griffin]

like every single night and always had fun. Nothing was stopping them.

[Kyle]

Now it's like, oh, dude, I got work.

[KB]

Like, guess what? Everyone has a fucking job.

[Connor Griffin]

And you're going to have that job

[Kyle]

until, I don't know, for how many fucking years. Yeah, go off.

[Connor Griffin]

I love the UFL logo in the top.

[Mark Titus]

They're getting their page views for the people criticizing her. Get her.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. There was a quote that's like how

[KB]

south park would depict bars.

[Kyle]

That's exactly right.

[Connor Griffin]

There was one quote tweet where it was like, yeah, if my job was to wear gray sweatpants and sit on a chair and talk into a microphone, like, yeah, I could go out, but that's not my job. And I was, oh, I hated to see Elliot get, get roasted like that, man. But it was very funny. It was a very funny clip. Yeah, it's, it's one of those, it's, it's like when she had the clip

[Mark Titus]

of how much she was spending at

[Connor Griffin]

$70,000 or something like that at the bars. Crazy. Yeah, they Ella Kck smokes. They, they live a different life than.

[Mark Titus]

I wish I had that energy.

[Connor Griffin]

I, I, I don't know. I don't. I'd like to think I could still

[Mark Titus]

be, but even when I was that age, I wasn't going out on weeknights.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Shay]

I think everyone could relate to that. We all went out more when we

[Connor Griffin]

were younger in college.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Shay]

But it's just tough when you're working at this job.

[Connor Griffin]

There was a client event yesterday and even that I was like, oh, like Thursday night I was weirded out by the boys at Goodnight John Boy and so.

[Mark Titus]

Oh, it was at Goodnight John Boy.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Okay. Did you go?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, I went for a little bit

[Mark Titus]

just to close deals.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Make some money for the company if they need me. But I only talked to a couple of clients and then I was there for a little bit. TJ was there.

[Kyle]

Are you good in those settings, Connor?

[Connor Griffin]

I think so.

[Kyle]

Like, I can Yes.

[Connor Griffin]

I could do small talk. Like I can, you know, ham it up a little bit and, and talk to some people. And they were really. Everybody there was really, really nice. And they do love Barstool and they love the vibe of, you know, obviously they're big time sponsors and they're. They're looking to partner with us and they love the relationship and everything. Yeah, exactly. And we're at Goodnight John Boy and there's basketball on and there's great music and people are dancing. Like.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, they.

[Kyle]

They think you made the company some money last night.

[Connor Griffin]

No. Oh, I, I think because I was. We tj, we were really only talking to like pre existing sponsors. Yeah. I think it's like a marketing group where it's like, hey, you're a partner of Barstool now. This is kind of what that entails. Right?

[Mark Titus]

I. I could have worse at those. I couldn't be worse of those. Me and Dana went to one in at the super bowl and I was just a wallflower. And then I finally, this dude came up to me was like, hey, man, like, how's yak? And I was like, yes. And I was talking. And then I went to MB and I was like bragging. I was like, I was talking to that guy. I was talking his ear off. Crushing. And she was like, he works at Barstool was just a sales dude.

[Kyle]

What was the one event we did here where you guys were like, bartenders?

[Connor Griffin]

Oh, my.

[Mark Titus]

Oh, yeah, there was a dinner we got invited to.

[KB]

Golden Dinner. Yeah, it was the, the Platinum dinner.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

That was pretty, pretty, pretty insulting, huh?

[Connor Griffin]

What? It was pmt. Were you involved in that too? Was it?

[Mark Titus]

Everybody on shows here was invited to a dinner with clients. They turned that room into like a restaurant. The kitchen. Donnie was cooking a meal. And then we got dressed nice for it and they were like, hey, we actually don't have a table for you. We're gonna have you 10 bar.

[Shay]

Was it was the point for you guys to be like, funny telling jokes? Well, no.

[Kyle]

So I think the point was pretty slap in the face, pretty put together.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

And then. Yeah. But they did send an apology email with a grubhub gift card, which really.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Which was nice. And then the second you remember the, the all hands, when there was the card collecting, you had to go into each studio. Oh, they moved ours to the Will Compton bathroom. And they were like, you guys have a crossword running up in anus. And if anybody wants to take a break and do a crossword with you guys, we think that would be cool. And then we were just in there alone doing crosswords.

[Shay]

The grub. But I. I'm a fishing scam.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

That was Pete getting me.

[Connor Griffin]

Those happen way too often.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Pete would just send out an email with.

[Mark Titus]

He loves doing that.

[Connor Griffin]

You. You earned a reward this year. You know, you got a gift card, you know, tap. To redeem it. And then. It's psych. It's a fishing bait email. Now you have to take this mandatory training on how to combat phishing, which is just. But he does. He gets off to it.

[Mark Titus]

He.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. What are you gonna do? But I don't know if we have another one of those. I think they shifted away from doing those big, like, upfront events.

[Mark Titus]

I want to say.

[Kyle]

Yeah, the. The one.

[Connor Griffin]

Remember when.

[Kyle]

The one with little skittles.

[Connor Griffin]

When.

[Kyle]

When Shake.

[Connor Griffin]

Happening during the day. I think one of those is happening. Happening soon. Okay.

[Mark Titus]

Jay. Jay, Any new material?

[Connor Griffin]

I got.

[Danny]

I was at a pause event at the. In like, last fall, so not necessarily affiliated with Barcelona, like a partner program, whatever. And I was at a, like, dessert table, getting up some food, and then someone approached me and was like, hey, I saw you two stand up in your office. I was part of the crowd.

[Shay]

It was.

[Danny]

It was awful.

[KB]

That.

[Danny]

That was truly one of more horrific experiences.

[Mark Titus]

That's awesome.

[Connor Griffin]

I. I've seen Che perform in a room twice, and both. I mean, not that time. That time was a little bit rough, but you rebounded totally fine. But. But both times I've seen you out at a theater or in a comedy club, like, you completely dominated the room. Like, everybody in the room was just locked in on you and your presence, and you fucking crushed it. And I. I'm amazed every single time.

[Mark Titus]

You have stage presence, Steve.

[Connor Griffin]

Yes. Thank you.

[Danny]

When did you see me?

[KB]

He does.

[Connor Griffin]

I saw you at the Laugh Factory, and then I saw you at Pup Punk when you.

[Danny]

Oh, yes. Yes.

[Connor Griffin]

Both times were electric.

[Danny]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Shay]

Anyone in here know who Cliff DiMartino is?

[Connor Griffin]

Dave's crowd.

[Mark Titus]

I. Dude, I do think that footage is somewhere at Corey film.

[KB]

I haven't seen it.

[Mark Titus]

The White Sox. Dave one was incredible because he wasn't nervous. He was feeling prepped.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

And I've told this, but it's just so funny.

[Connor Griffin]

It's.

[Mark Titus]

He was like, if I forget what I'm going to say, I'm just going to say that the white socks suck. And so he goes up on stage, and he's like, the White Sox fucking suck. First line out of his mouth.

[Connor Griffin]

He came back to us, like, three Times

[Danny]

the group of us that was there couldn't have been laughing harder.

[Shay]

I know. Yeah. I don't want to pile on. It's obviously a hard thing to do. But there was one point where he's like. He had a great joke going. A great setup. He was like. You heard Dave from Barstool was coming and, and you see this, this, this small guy with no hair. And then he just immediately went back

[KB]

to the white side.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Shay]

He kind of dropped the portnoy.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Like it was a good setup. But yeah. No. Oh no, no, wait.

[Shay]

Even I would feel bad for that.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Shay]

I think we did like a. A773TV on Barstool Chicago. YouTube. Okay. And Dave's performance was in it. If that's what you want to call it.

[Connor Griffin]

That. That's pre hair transplant. A 4 minute version and a 12 minute version. Which one do you think it is?

[Danny]

He was only up there for about four minutes.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

It wasn't gotta be the four. And again it's. It's a really nerve wracking.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Shay]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

So I don't wanna he kudos to him for even getting up there.

[Shay]

Ed.

[Mark Titus]

Crushed.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

Sounds like

[Connor Griffin]

I'll be perfectly Kurt. I had no idea I was going on stage at this very moment at all. I thought I had like 20 minutes

[Shay]

to prepare which is what I typically do.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't do any preparation. I just like show up and do.

[Mark Titus]

I don't know who he's facing.

[Connor Griffin]

And here I am on stage at one of the best comedy clubs in all Chicago.

[KB]

Give it up for Laugh Factory.

[Shay]

We can't. This is mean.

[Mark Titus]

Because you have to be very brave

[KB]

now right off the bat.

[Connor Griffin]

I'm, I. I have to apologize to the audience. I have to apologize because I know you guys saw that you were about to buy tickets to go see David Barstool perform. Stand up.

[Shay]

And here I am a short fat

[Connor Griffin]

with

[KB]

not very much intellect on anything.

[Connor Griffin]

And I'm just talking to you guys like that's a waste of your guys money. We can't do this.

[Mark Titus]

This is mean to do to him

[Connor Griffin]

while he's not here. I'm trying to pop dock myself on stage right now.

[KB]

But I do apologize right off the bat.

[Connor Griffin]

I got to.

[Mark Titus]

I got to ask.

[Connor Griffin]

I. I see one person right here. Are there any socks fans? There it is.

[Shay]

In the audience rather. We can't do this.

[Connor Griffin]

You want to watch the KB getting his foot stepped on? Clip and yeah, I would like that.

[Mark Titus]

I think this was performative.

[Connor Griffin]

Ow.

[Mark Titus]

Yes.

[Connor Griffin]

I'm sorry.

[KB]

Acknowledge how Bad.

[Connor Griffin]

I honestly, I'm gonna. I'm gonna keep it real.

[Mark Titus]

Are you wearing like a. An African hat?

[KB]

Pan African. Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Okay.

[KB]

Would have loved everyone.

[Mark Titus]

I'm gonna be honest, number one. I'm over it now.

[KB]

I don't even feel it anymore. No, I'm still feeling.

[Mark Titus]

I'm gonna be honest, number one. I said one.

[KB]

Do you think that was a fake reaction?

[Mark Titus]

I think it hurt, but I think you made it louder than it needed to be.

[Shay]

It was so quick.

[KB]

Oh, it was not. That means it was natural. It was instantaneous.

[Mark Titus]

It wasn't natural.

[KB]

Yes, it was. You can't.

[Mark Titus]

Nobody enunciates owl that much. You heard O and W so clear.

[Kyle]

The.

[KB]

The. The metal leg of the chair dug into my.

[Mark Titus]

What?

[KB]

Metatarsal.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, ye.

[KB]

In that little bony.

[Mark Titus]

And then you divot. You try to show us the mark on your foot. And you raised the wrong foot like so you didn't act. I don't think it happened.

[KB]

I was numbing in shock.

[Shay]

That was like a catheter insertion.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, that was.

[Shay]

To be clear, I wasn't making fun of Dave for being bad at stand up. It's just when he's nervous, he does things that other people wouldn't do when they're nervous. Like, people would normally just shut up and not be like, does anyone know this super fan of ours?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

Yeah, the intro was. I mean, it was a little sloppy, but it was like, fine along the line.

[Shay]

That's what you want.

[KB]

Any intro show up for that?

[Shay]

Dave. Not Dave. Telling well, well formulated jokes.

[Connor Griffin]

Nick, do you have any new stand up coming up? Are you gonna be.

[Mark Titus]

I have a show. I'm doing a show. Julio, when he's in town.

[KB]

When's that?

[Mark Titus]

I don't know.

[Connor Griffin]

Well, you're going to get dinner in April with Bader, right?

[Mark Titus]

Dude, I felt bad, but then not Chris Bader, friend of the show, good comic. Text me. He's like, hey, man, I'm at the table. And it was like 6:50. And he was like, I've been here for like 20. And I'm like. Called him. I was like, what are you talking about? He was like, I'm at dinner.

[Kyle]

And I said.

[Mark Titus]

We were very clear. We were getting dinner Sunday. And I looked, I went, I was like, open up your texts. And our only text was like, you down to get dinner? I said, Sunday, question mark. He said Sunday, exclamation point. That was our conversation, but that was

[KB]

the entirety of it.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Supposed to have dinner with Nick Duran, right? I text wrong. And showed up four Days early. Just going to.

[Mark Titus]

I forget that he's old because instead of blacking out that woman's phone number on the business card, he used the highlighter tool.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

Oh, I see it.

[Mark Titus]

He put the red circle with the highlight.

[KB]

Transparent attention to it.

[Kyle]

Really?

[KB]

I mean, that is a good tactic to get like an impromptu dinner with Nick.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, I would.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah. Because I had just finished eating and I was like, do you want me to come and. But he said no. So I'll see him Sunday maybe.

[Connor Griffin]

Lux Bar is a nice spot.

[Mark Titus]

Good chili.

[Connor Griffin]

Really?

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

I did not know that. I still have to get to that place. You guys had a place good ribs around here that you would go to anchor. Yeah, I still have not been there.

[Kyle]

Classic.

[Connor Griffin]

Very different vibe.

[Mark Titus]

Did a Batman scene in there.

[Connor Griffin]

No.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Okay.

[Mark Titus]

Dark Knight.

[Connor Griffin]

I'll get there. But yeah. Poor Bader. I saw that was very funny last night.

[Kyle]

I've been consumed with college basketball and I haven't been able to keep tabs on Miresh. What's the latest there?

[KB]

What is.

[Kyle]

How's he handling it?

[Mark Titus]

I think potentially the best thing that's ever happened to him. Yeah, he was con. He was pretty down in the dumps when I. We text him and I was like, dude, like this is going to be good for the everything. And he was like, how?

[Kyle]

How?

[KB]

I'm just like, trust me, like, I understand his panic.

[Mark Titus]

Oh, definitely. Definitely. And yeah, it's. You never want to be the guy that totals the car abroad is what they say.

[KB]

I heard he scratched it up. So I texted the group chat. Surely there hasn't been a hiccup, which sounds like a move. Knowing that the airbag deployed.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, both.

[KB]

And the car was total. That was probably super traumatic. Head off.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Shay]

Like.

[Mark Titus]

And you're probably pretty sore after that and shaken up.

[KB]

It's definitely.

[Shay]

Yeah, it sucks.

[Connor Griffin]

I didn't see the explanation of what happened.

[Mark Titus]

Wrong lane, I guess is what making a right turn. I. I didn't want to ask too much. I don't want to pry because I doubt he wants to rehash it for the hundredth time. But right from the text that was sent to Dave, it looks like they just. Right side.

[Connor Griffin]

Okay.

[KB]

Would have gotten anyone.

[Mark Titus]

Sure.

[KB]

You drive on the right naturally. It's instinctive.

[Mark Titus]

Even if the wheel is on the right road.

[Kyle]

Oh, here he goes.

[Shay]

I make the left turn onto the road. We're just on the right hand side of the road.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

There's no getting around. Like what? What?

[Shay]

I unfortunately did. I did unfortunately turn. There were no cars coming at us or going with us to like, indicate that, oh, we're in the wrong. The road's kind of windy. It's again, no street lights.

[Connor Griffin]

Pitch black. Fast street, too.

[Shay]

Yeah. I think the speed limits, like 40ish miles per hour.

[Connor Griffin]

We were, we were going under the speed limit.

[Shay]

Yeah. We were going like 37, I believe. We make the turn. It's like a turn, blind corner. We turn that corner, and then all of a sudden there's two cars, like, probably like 700ft, 800ft away from us. And it's like they're coming right at us.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Shay]

And I'm like, holy. So, like, again, American instinct, turn right, just get into the grass. And I see there's like a patch of grass. And she also, her British instinct turned left to get another.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Shay]

So we just make the same turn. Fortunately, she didn't have anybody in her passenger seat. We both collided on the passenger side and the airbags go off. I've never been in a car where airbags go off. There's like airbag smoke.

[Connor Griffin]

This is all like.

[Shay]

I was like, is this really happening right now?

[Kyle]

We have some footage of some of

[KB]

the guys getting out of the car.

[Kyle]

And it looks like it's just on fire. Oh, it's a war.

[Connor Griffin]

It was a war.

[Shay]

We were like, numbers was. I think numbers was like, it smells like smoke. Everybody out immediately.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Shay]

And like, I'm like, firefighter. I can't even remember how to open the door. I'm like, trying to figure out.

[Connor Griffin]

I was like, I'm gonna die.

[Shay]

I'm gonna die right now.

[Connor Griffin]

I was like, I can't go out in a blown up car. That's not how I go crazy. Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Scary.

[Kyle]

He's in good spirits.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, seems to be.

[Connor Griffin]

He's got the entire Internet behind him.

[KB]

Yeah. It's become a joke, which is perfect.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

There's the Internet behind him.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

I think they're not clowning them. They're.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't think so.

[KB]

British Internet. Found him.

[Connor Griffin]

That.

[Mark Titus]

That is what you don't want. That is what you don't want.

[Connor Griffin]

I. I had British Internet on my ass about the, the Bonnie Blue shit. They thought I was a cuckoo, but unfortunately. Yeah, that was the thing, I think. True British.

[Shay]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Titus]

We just got to move on.

[Connor Griffin]

They're tough.

[Shay]

Has there been a resurgence since she's gotten pregnant?

[Connor Griffin]

No, no, no, no. But the Mirage, everybody's just saying, like, free Moresh till it's backwards. People organizing free. More rash walkouts. Out of school, out of. Out of work. And everything.

[KB]

Really?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

That's so.

[Mark Titus]

I've never understood the free till they're backwards. Till it's backwards.

[Kyle]

So random people are coming up to you?

[Shay]

Yeah. Like, I was just standing right there minding my own business, and, like, five Indian dudes, like, formed a circle around me and they were like, boy, why'd you crash?

[Kyle]

The comment.

[Shay]

You act like. I chose to, like, crash.

[Kyle]

Like, you might be the most famous person in.

[KB]

In the Challengers.

[Shay]

Like, yeah, I mean, I didn't want to crash the car. I was like, driving here is hard.

[Kyle]

Like, shit, I drive him, idiot.

[KB]

And I was like, shut the fuck off.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, I get it. I crashed the car. We'll talk to someone else.

[Mark Titus]

And the thing is, Moresh, like, did the. They were having trouble finding somebody that was able to go. And so he has been swamped. And he's like, I'll do it. Like, volunteered to go and help them out.

[KB]

Last minute slice everything.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, I do you still get cuck reminders? Like, how often?

[Connor Griffin]

Once a week. Yeah, just. That's my life.

[Mark Titus]

You get like a DM that just says, yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Not exactly. It'll be into different variations of it. But yeah, what. You know, people will say, you know, go clean up some jizz. Like, you can't talk. You can't talk sports. You're your shag janitor.

[Mark Titus]

So that's one that broke containment.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. And for sure.

[Mark Titus]

Did that get back to your folks?

[Connor Griffin]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, they knew about that one. Very, very interesting. Speaking of dating, very interesting to bring up. Not that I was bringing it up, but when girls would, like, look me up.

[Mark Titus]

If you Google Connor Griffin now, now,

[Connor Griffin]

the stool, if you throw barstool in there, they might show up. But now when you just type in Connor Griffin, it's the not MLB player, but he will be for the Pirates, sure.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Like, that pops up. So I'm in the clear.

[Mark Titus]

Finally. Connor Griffin.

[Kyle]

There you go.

[Connor Griffin]

And maybe. Maybe it's not right away.

[KB]

What about Conor Griffin Jizz?

[Connor Griffin]

Maybe. But yeah, that popped up a couple times where there were girls were like, were you with Bonnie Blue?

[Mark Titus]

I'm like, no, there he is with Jizz. There's.

[Connor Griffin]

There's just movies right next to. Yeah, there's movie right next to it.

[Shay]

Nate on the second row.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. No, yeah. People thought forever that Mooby and I were dating just because. Yeah, that guy looks slightly like me.

[Shay]

Oh, you told us that.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, you did say that.

[Connor Griffin]

So, yeah, that was not. That was not the case at all. But the. The bush boys like, at an event like that, they're. They seem to be mega stars.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, it does seem to be that way. And it looks like a cool event, too.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, I know. Mark was saying the other day, he was like, you know, you didn't.

[Kyle]

I was. I had worked under the assumption for a long time that Bush wasn't real. And it was like a theoretical project that they talked about because everyone involved is so funny.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

I thought that this was like, just some elaborate bit that they were doing. And every piece of content I see from them is like, maresh getting in a car wreck type stuff. Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

You don't see the video games.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

So I have to like video games at all.

[Kyle]

And also, Jerry talks about ideas he has all the time. So I thought he was just coming on here just like, if we just get. We just need a little more money to get Bush off the ground. And I just thought that was like his. Like a thing he was just doing.

[Mark Titus]

It's three funny guys that, when they're doing that, don't attempt to be funny whatsoever. Which makes it pretty hilarious because they're dead serious. Like, they. This is a bit. This is business.

[Kyle]

Yeah. So. But they're. They're killing it, I guess.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. No, they are.

[KB]

Yeah. In the scene, they. They're massive.

[Mark Titus]

Like.

[Kyle]

And even the negotiations with Dave, it just felt like. It all just felt like that was the content, wasn't the video games. It was this idea that we're trying to build a team. So I never thought the team was real, but it's real. And they're winning. They're winning tournaments. And for, like, this is a big deal where they're at right now.

[Connor Griffin]

They are.

[Mark Titus]

They're playing right now. Right.

[Kyle]

But none of our guys play no matches.

[Connor Griffin]

No, no.

[Kyle]

Our guys are. What do they do? What are, like, put it in football terms.

[Mark Titus]

GMs.

[Connor Griffin]

Yes.

[Kyle]

They're all three, like, code GM.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Shay]

Is that normal for other video gaming teams?

[Connor Griffin]

Esports teams all have GMs.

[Kyle]

And what is Moreshu? He's. He's the. The.

[Mark Titus]

He's doing the video.

[Kyle]

He's the driver. He's the driver.

[Connor Griffin]

This is by far the biggest thing that's ever happened to the Call of Duty challenger scene. Yeah. In terms of eyeballs.

[Mark Titus]

Damn.

[Connor Griffin]

I get. Nobody has ever paid attention to the Call of Duty challenger scene.

[Shay]

So what do you need to be a GM if you're not good at the game? Can anyone be a gm?

[Mark Titus]

A platform, I guess.

[Connor Griffin]

I guess.

[Shay]

Is that it?

[Connor Griffin]

GM is like an organizer. These teams also have a Coach and

[Shay]

they're like, they scout other people trying

[Connor Griffin]

to assemble a team. Yeah. Assemble a roster.

[Mark Titus]

It's been very entertaining.

[Connor Griffin]

I have people from high school who I haven't talked to in years who hit me up and they're like, what are the bush boys? Like, Just yesterday, my old buddy Jackson was like free Moresh. Like he just texted me out of the blue and I hadn't spoken to him in forever. And then my, my close buddies who I do talk to regularly and they'll ask about work occasionally, but not a whole lot. They're. They're all in on everything Bush. So that's a big fucking deal. They're breaking through big. Mm. Were you ever Call of Duty guy?

[KB]

No.

[Connor Griffin]

No.

[Mark Titus]

You're a Halo boy.

[KB]

Halo. Xbox.

[Connor Griffin]

Said I'm an Xbox guy too. And I feel like that's not the popular thing. I feel like I would get clowned if I would say I'm an Xbox guy.

[KB]

It seemed like it was a little bit. They were pretty equal, but a little bit lower than PS2.

[Kyle]

Xbox lost the war, right? Did they that over right? T.J. didn't I believe they said that

[Connor Griffin]

they're done doing hardware after this current.

[Kyle]

I thought you had told me that

[Mark Titus]

damn PlayStation just raised their prices after.

[Connor Griffin]

First a console that's been out for five years. PS5 Pro is $900 now that's a.

[Mark Titus]

That's the price of like a pretty entry level gaming PC.

[Kyle]

Wait, so they put it out? They put the PS5 out? Yeah, sold it for a while.

[Mark Titus]

But like I remember they were impossible to get like four years. Like every Walmart had one because that's

[Connor Griffin]

how dominant Sony's been in the console war. Wow. Over the new Xbox. Damn.

[KB]

Wow.

[Connor Griffin]

Had no idea.

[Kyle]

I can't watch the Call of Duty. It's like it's. It's too much. And we had it on in the, in the cave and I want to support it, you know, or whatever. It's just like chaos.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

I can't, I can't play the game either. Just. I have no idea what the. I. I am like 10 seconds late to everything that's happening.

[Connor Griffin]

He'll. He'll be just sitting over there in the lobby. Like you walk in through the front door and he's just there. He's on his phone and he's just watching it early in the morning. Like he just, he lives for the shit. Yeah. But yeah, that, that is not, not typically what I gravitate towards. But the. They're doing great and they're bought in Very bought in.

[Mark Titus]

But do you have a hobby like that or is it just sports? Just consuming sports.

[Connor Griffin]

That's the thing. I've been this the year. I'm gonna find, like, a real legitimate hobby outside of sports. Salsa dancing will happen. I'm gonna take salsa dancing lessons. I'm gonna sign up. Why?

[KB]

Yeah, that'll change people's perspective of you. Cooler. Oh, yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Cool.

[Mark Titus]

Connor.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, no, I just think, when will

[Mark Titus]

you bust out the salsa dancing?

[Connor Griffin]

Oh, dude. Bye. So I got the idea. It was right around the Bad Bunny halftime show, and there were a bunch of people.

[Mark Titus]

Like, how close?

[Kyle]

During

[Mark Titus]

football.

[Kyle]

Right around.

[Connor Griffin]

No, no, it was before or after it was the lead up. And then after my entire algorithm on TikTok, my feed was just nothing but salsa dancing videos. And it's a very.

[Mark Titus]

I don't want to say sexual, but it's sensual.

[Connor Griffin]

Sensual is the right word. And I'm seeing these dudes that are just on fire on the dance floor and they're just. With these like, gorgeous women and they're. They're salta dancing. I'm like, this looks pretty cool. And it was just like every single, like, video I was scrolling past, which is salsa dancing. And I said it would be cool. The one, the. The one thing my, My grandfather said. He said a lot of things. He said a lot.

[Mark Titus]

He was rendered to only say one thing.

[Connor Griffin]

He was a one trick pony. No, one of the things that my grandfather always said because he and my grandmother, they'd go out dancing like six nights a week back in like the. The 40s and 40s and 50s. But he said he was like, the number one thing you got to do is just learn how to dance. It's the ultimate cheat code. I was like, okay. I was like six years old when he said that.

[KB]

Maybe applicable to the 50s.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, maybe it's.

[Connor Griffin]

But I think dancing is still. Still a skill.

[Mark Titus]

So, like, if you went out to like a bar. What's a bar you go to here?

[Connor Griffin]

Old Crow Wrigleyville, after you would salsa dance there. No, you can't salsa dance there.

[Mark Titus]

Right.

[Connor Griffin]

That's why I was thinking we talked a little about most sports, maybe line dancing, but do line dancing.

[Mark Titus]

So what type of music do they typically play in the bars you go to?

[Connor Griffin]

Typically, you know, pop, maybe some country. It's not.

[Mark Titus]

I think you need to take a hip hop dance class.

[Connor Griffin]

No, I can't. I can't do a hip hop dance class, Connor.

[Shay]

Break dance in the middle of Declan's. You need a partner.

[Mark Titus]

The thing with dancing Is like, it's tough to just break out.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. But you could go to specific because

[Mark Titus]

if you're not good, people are going to think you're a loser. And if you're really good, people are going to think you're a loser.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, well, I think people think I'm a loser regardless.

[Mark Titus]

Right.

[Connor Griffin]

That's kind of. Kind of my thing. That's kind of. I've realized that that's part of my, My draw. No, I. I think there was something. The main thing was that I just wanted to take a class.

[Mark Titus]

That guy in the Penn State jersey in the high C lipstick, really hot. Dancing in the middle of this crowd.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Okay. When you put it like that. Yeah. Not great. But there's something to taking a class because I realized too, like, just in the terms of making friends, so many of my friends to this day are because, like we took classes together in elementary school or we took classes together in college.

[Kyle]

I'm gonna make salsa friends.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, let's make some salsa friends. Like, because it's a, A continuous thing once a week, I'm assuming it would be for prolonged period of time. You're. It's recurring. You're seeing the same people over and over again. You're. You're sharing in the, the language of dance. And ultimately I think it could possibly result in some fruitful French.

[Mark Titus]

But fruitful French is the. Is this for chicks?

[Connor Griffin]

I mean it. I think everything in life could be deduced to chicks.

[Kyle]

Like, chicks like dancing.

[Mark Titus]

They do.

[Connor Griffin]

Yes.

[Kyle]

I think they like.

[Mark Titus]

And like, I think. I think if you dip a chick and you do like the very close to the neck kiss kind of thing that they do.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kyle]

And a lot of dudes don't dance, Connor, so you would.

[Connor Griffin]

That, that.

[Kyle]

I agree. I agree with grandpa.

[Connor Griffin]

My, My grandfather said pop.

[Kyle]

Pop. I agree with him.

[Connor Griffin]

There was the one thing he said,

[Kyle]

but it is a cheat code. You ever, you ever been to a line dancing situation?

[Connor Griffin]

No. Actually, no. I was in a. I went to a conference in Nashville when I was in high school. And so it wasn't even a drinking thing. We were all enraged. But we had a line dancing thing there at the.

[Mark Titus]

What was the conference?

[Connor Griffin]

It was, it was a. And then this is going to be like a loser thing. It was a student council conference. It was a. It was a nerd thing.

[Kyle]

But what was the line dancing thing you just said?

[Connor Griffin]

It was. It was. They rented out a bar for all the people at this, all the students at this conference to go to and there was a line Dancing thing on the third floor.

[Mark Titus]

Was it like an icebreaker or.

[Connor Griffin]

No, no, it was a legitimate like social hour to like end off the conference where it was like, let's get all these kids together and you know, they could. We could have Shirley Temples and punch and whatnot and they could go dance on the dance floor.

[Shay]

Well, line dancing has to be the least sexual dancing.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, all of them.

[Shay]

It's someone telling you what to do the whole time, right?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Some hotline dance girls.

[Kyle]

That's where you are wrong.

[Connor Griffin]

That's another thing.

[Kyle]

If you take a woman to align to a honky tonk and you don't know how to dance, she is gone.

[Connor Griffin]

Yes.

[Kyle]

She is not yours.

[Mark Titus]

Some cowboy you are.

[Kyle]

You will lose her. Ask me how I know.

[KB]

I know.

[Connor Griffin]

How do you know? Yeah, but don't they.

[Shay]

Is that the one where they tell you what to do every time? Like steps?

[Connor Griffin]

I mean. Yeah, everybody's.

[Kyle]

You're thinking of the Cha Cha slot.

[Shay]

Oh, that bar I was talking about yesterday. They would have line dancing every Monday or so. I thought maybe it was called something else.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

No, the real place is like everyone knows it but you. And it's all. I don't know how they know. It's just like a song will start playing and they like hear the beat or something and then they all just kind of like in unison or like. And then they'll all like woo at a random time and clap.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

And you're just kind of sitting there like, what the. Yeah, but that's crazy. It's awesome though. I, I, I, I've gone probably 10 times in my life and they're so far.

[KB]

They're a blast.

[Kyle]

They're so.

[KB]

I would go to the Dusty Armadillo and I'd be liquored up on 99 apples. The confidence of Legolas. I would just. They would all be line dancing very seriously.

[Kyle]

Oh yeah.

[KB]

The whole floor. And I wanted to be a part of it. So I would just like walk in the middle and I was just like a traffic cone.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

Standing there getting in people's way. You have to learn it first.

[Mark Titus]

But the thing is, it's going to take so long to learn and become proficient for a skill that you'll use twice a year.

[Kyle]

Yeah, that is true.

[Connor Griffin]

But it's like Connor would.

[Kyle]

You wouldn't use it twice a year, would you? You'd be.

[Connor Griffin]

Why I would there. If I learned how to do it, I would seek out those types of events because it won't just be like, oh, yeah, I'm At a bar on a Friday night and then boom, A line dance or assaulted dance breaks out. These are, as Danny said, like, they'll have specific nights where you go to a bar and it's like, hey, this night, Tuesday night, Wednesday, whatever. We're. We're doing this. And people flock to these things.

[Mark Titus]

Have you done any research on salsa dancing lessons in Chicago?

[Connor Griffin]

I. I've looked up certain places, but I just. The timing of it right now is off because we madness and we're going to be going on the road in a little bit. So I'm trying to figure out when the best time would be to do it.

[Shay]

Would you care if you got paired with a man

[Connor Griffin]

Z laughing in there? I mean, for the. If it's for class, you. You have to do it. Yeah, yeah.

[Kyle]

My hands are tied.

[Mark Titus]

For class.

[Connor Griffin]

For class. For class. But yeah. No, some type of class. Some type of. I even was looking like, you know, is it like, I don't know, some type not. I'm trying to think what would be another class you could do?

[Shay]

Cooking.

[Connor Griffin]

I wouldn't do cooking.

[Kyle]

Pottery.

[Connor Griffin]

Pottery Might. Might be something. Acting.

[Mark Titus]

I did a pottery night in Pilsen on as a date, and I walked in there and it was erotic pottery. And everyone's just making the fattest dicks you could ever imagine.

[Connor Griffin]

It's just like, well, dude, I mean, I was talking about my tick tock algorithm. Occasionally there will be. That's a genre on tick tock of hot girls just doing pottery. Yeah. And they. They definitely play into that.

[Mark Titus]

They over water it.

[Connor Griffin]

They over water it and they let it get very, very narrow and high up. And then it's like, very, very narrow. No, no. Like, I was just making a bowl. Yeah.

[KB]

Yeah. When it comes to classes, you have to really enjoy the process.

[Connor Griffin]

Right.

[KB]

Because if you take a kickboxing class and you do it for years,

[Connor Griffin]

you

[KB]

get to a point where like, what are you gonna do with it?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

Have you taken a kickbox?

[Connor Griffin]

No.

[KB]

It's like, I don't want to. Like, I feel like I'd be pressured to use it.

[Connor Griffin]

Right.

[KB]

So I'd be out looking for fights to kick somebody in the chin craving. That would probably look whack as maybe.

[Connor Griffin]

Maybe.

[Kyle]

Connor, are you good at not being good at stuff? Like, are you?

[Connor Griffin]

I've never been.

[Kyle]

You mentally handle not being good. Oh, you play beach volleyball and you lose everything. Maybe that's the answer. But like, could you. Could you start doing something and, like, just suck ass but still have a good time at it?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, I think I could because I

[Kyle]

like, if you don't have, like pottery, if you don't have a knack for it, but could you still, like, enjoy yourself or at a certain point would you be like, I suck at this. I want to go.

[Connor Griffin]

And going to KB's point, I think I could really enjoy the process and realize, like, I like, if I haven't. I don't know the last time I like drew, but I like to draw. I'm not good at it, but like, that can be a fun thing. I mean, it's. I don't know, 10 years ago since I drew something, but like, yeah, I'm not good at it. I still enjoyed it. So. Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Do you feel like that? Could you take any class and become good at anything?

[Connor Griffin]

No.

[Shay]

Okay.

[Connor Griffin]

God, no. But I do think I. I think I got some rhythm. I think I could maybe do some dancing on the.

[Danny]

On the dancing front. This is a question for the room. Are you guys dancing at weddings?

[Connor Griffin]

I feel like that, yeah.

[KB]

Oh, yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

But I stick to crowds. Yeah. Or I like being the circle that the fun guys in the middle of. And I like being the guy that urges other people to go into the circle.

[Connor Griffin]

Hypes up myself.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Danny]

If you just finish your cake and the wobble comes on, you know, hyper specific.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah. I don't. I don't do that.

[Connor Griffin]

I am not happening at every wedding.

[Mark Titus]

I'm not doing any steps or anything like that. I'm just kind of moving.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

I don't know any of the dances. I don't know.

[Connor Griffin]

Okay.

[Kyle]

I. I know of the song, the wobble. What is. I don't know.

[Danny]

I know it's Wobble baby, wobble baby, get in.

[Mark Titus]

But I don't know the dance.

[Kyle]

I don't know the dance.

[Connor Griffin]

Oh, no, you, You.

[KB]

It has like, yeah. 50 year old DJs and a chokehold. They can't give it up.

[Connor Griffin]

Well, when that song first came out, it was. I was in middle school and so that was all the, the dances that we would go to in middle school.

[Mark Titus]

You'd be wobbling.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. CYO dances. Saint Alphonsus. Yeah. It was a good time. So you know that that's an automatic yes. Even if. Even after two plates of cake. That's a. That's a yes. We're getting on.

[Mark Titus]

I have to be pretty drunk.

[Connor Griffin]

Really? Yeah.

[Kyle]

Yeah. I'll dance at a wedding, but you know, I'm not Max.

[Connor Griffin]

That video Max is awesome.

[Kyle]

I've never been a Max at a wedding. But no, I'll get out there.

[Mark Titus]

I don't really dance at concerts.

[Connor Griffin]

That's different, though.

[Mark Titus]

I. I sweat your head, I swear.

[Shay]

Say. Nodded.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't know how you would dance at a concert if you're in a seat. If you're confined to this, you know, telephone of a space, telephone booth of a space. I don't know how you. Unless you were in the pit or, you know, like that. No, I'm standing, but I'm not. I can't fully dance unless I'm, like, moving my. My arms up and down. But that. That's pretty much it. I don't have any real estate. Need to move around.

[Shay]

Always enough room to grind.

[Connor Griffin]

That's true.

[Mark Titus]

Danny.

[Connor Griffin]

What was. You guys remember the first time you got grinded on?

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, I was late.

[KB]

Really late. Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

Is that up fronts.

[Danny]

Youngs do that still is grinding still.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't think. I don't know. I don't think so. I mean, I don't know.

[Kyle]

Imagine.

[Connor Griffin]

I. I don't. I think this generation, they're. They're just. They're different. They're not doing a lot of the same stuff.

[Shay]

They're either not touching themselves at all or they've taken it up several notches. Like, it's way more sexual than grinding now.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Go to.

[Shay]

Go to a young. A young school dance.

[Connor Griffin]

I'm okay.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, go.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Oh, yeah.

[Kyle]

He.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, there we go. Let's see.

[Mark Titus]

Nobody getting massaged. I sat in the massage chair for the first time. Danny told me to put on heavy need. Have you done the massage chair yet?

[Kyle]

Yeah, it's incredible.

[Mark Titus]

It gapes your ass.

[Kyle]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Mark Titus]

It spreads your ass.

[Kyle]

It's really in there.

[Shay]

I told you.

[Mark Titus]

And I was a little grossed out of how many of just, like, gross People have been gaped on that.

[Kyle]

Yeah, it's a great chair.

[Mark Titus]

Really?

[Kyle]

I did one.

[Connor Griffin]

How long were you in it for?

[Shay]

You did the full thing?

[Mark Titus]

I did the full cycle.

[Connor Griffin]

Is it what, 10 minutes? Yeah. Okay.

[Mark Titus]

It was pretty great.

[Shay]

Yeah. I heard you moaning.

[Mark Titus]

I did, yeah, of course.

[Connor Griffin]

Does it start to hurt? Like a good type of hurt?

[Mark Titus]

What do you mean?

[Connor Griffin]

Like, a KB could probably speak to this more, but like a good massage, really getting in there to the point where it's like, I'm kind of on the verge of not being in pain, but it's a. A pressure that I have not experienced. But I kind of like it.

[Mark Titus]

Yes.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

And I like that.

[Connor Griffin]

Have you been in that massage chair, kb?

[KB]

No, I haven't.

[Mark Titus]

It's ass centric, dude.

[Connor Griffin]

I'll try it out. I haven't been in it either.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, hop in that afterwards, maybe. Who's upstairs?

[Connor Griffin]

Mince.

[Shay]

Who else?

[Connor Griffin]

A lot of. A lot of people have been out yesterday and. And today. Annika, Graham.

[Shay]

Where's Bets?

[Connor Griffin]

I don't know. You start a new show with Mikey Butts, Danny.

[Shay]

Yeah, we are, but not for, like, another month or so.

[KB]

So don't promo it.

[Kyle]

Don't promo way too soon.

[Shay]

I was gonna have him do it, but. Shrinkage. It's me, Bats Deutsch. We've talked about it on here before. We'll be taking live callers, I believe, every Wednesday night Deutsch is produced. Yes. Please, please do not take our advice seriously.

[Mark Titus]

This is.

[Shay]

I think I have to say that

[Mark Titus]

every time I think. I don't know if I said this. Anyway, it's like Armageddon, where you're teaching the. The drillers to become astronauts. You're teaching Deutsch to become a producer. How? You've done test runs.

[Shay]

Yeah, I'm gonna need one of those grabber sticks for the. The gag button. I feel like if Deutsch is behind the case. Just in case.

[Mark Titus]

No, I mean, it will. The live callers, if and when it ends, it will be a giant fireball. That will be great.

[Shay]

It'll be great, right? Yeah. I'll be wishing I crashed a rental car.

[Mark Titus]

And every meeting that we've been in, like, the content meetings, is like. And Danny's the responsible one, so he is to blame if it goes bad.

[KB]

Yep.

[Shay]

I was just recruited as, like, third mic, basically. And now it's like, all right, you're the chaperone. But I'm excited. I'm grateful for the opportunity.

[Mark Titus]

When's it start? April.

[Shay]

End of April. Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Nice. Perfect. Good logo.

[Shay]

Great logo. Shout out Hanko.

[Connor Griffin]

Hanko did that?

[Shay]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Hank was the man.

[Mark Titus]

I like it.

[Connor Griffin]

But is that an ankle impression? Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Oh, yeah.

[Kyle]

Everyone.

[Mark Titus]

My favorite thing. It's my favorite thing. I haven't heard it, dude. I think you should be a little bit more assertive to get to the. The spring break house if you want.

[Connor Griffin]

But I. I have no real urge to. I just. I. Yeah, I don't know if that would be my fit. I like.

[Mark Titus]

But like, that's kind of the point.

[Kyle]

That's what makes it interesting is that maybe it's a little something different. It's a different perspective.

[Connor Griffin]

I'd be off of most of sports for a week.

[Kyle]

Even better.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Set you up for that one.

[Mark Titus]

And like, especially like switching into content fully.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Like, I think it's a good way to get your name out there.

[Connor Griffin]

Maybe. Yeah. Potentially I'd have to.

[Mark Titus]

Is it. Is it like the. What.

[Connor Griffin]

What.

[Mark Titus]

What has you skittish?

[Connor Griffin]

Just trying to figure out what exactly my lane here your should be. Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

People want to see you be yourself.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[Kyle]

And I think you would feel pressure to be something you're not potentially.

[Connor Griffin]

Especially if after the first day or two, you know, Dave is getting involved or Big Cat's getting involved. But yeah. Connor. Connor's not doing anything. Like he needs to spice some things up.

[Shay]

Mop up after smokes.

[Connor Griffin]

Mop up after sm, folks.

[Shay]

I mean, unbiased opinion. I think it's more entertaining to watch a normal person go crazy than watching potentially be crazy.

[Connor Griffin]

Potentially. Maybe.

[Danny]

Maybe would help the tick tock.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Like numbers. Wisely, it would work. And that's why if somebody asked me, like, absolutely, I would do it. But I'm not forcing myself onto it because I also think they have the cast. No. Don't they have the.

[Mark Titus]

Might be flexible.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, maybe.

[Mark Titus]

But I would love to see it out there.

[Connor Griffin]

Thank you.

[Mark Titus]

And how old are you?

[Connor Griffin]

26.

[Mark Titus]

It's like a last hurrah.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, I know. Until I settle down.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

That is something I. I think about a lot.

[Mark Titus]

Settling down.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, Like, I think about it a lot.

[Mark Titus]

Marriage or what?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. You know, moving to the suburbs. White picket fence. You want that? I mean, I love Chicago. I love this city. And there's still plenty that I. I have to do here and like soak it in and enjoy living in a major city.

[Shay]

City.

[Connor Griffin]

But yeah, eventually I don't want to Be in a city forever. I wanna. I wanna get to the burbs.

[Shay]

How many kids? Cats. Dogs. Give us all of it.

[Connor Griffin]

Two or three kids. Only dogs. Maybe two. Yeah, maybe two.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

So they could be friends, but, you know. No. No cats. Nothing against cats. Just.

[KB]

Would you be a stern parent?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[KB]

What about a vulnerable dad?

[Connor Griffin]

I think. Yeah, I think you could be both.

[KB]

On, like. I'm gonna be honest with you. There's a lot I don't know. I know you think I'm omnipotent. You know, I know you think I'm invincible. I know you think I'm a genius. There's so much I don't know when it comes to parenting, when it comes to raising you, but I love you so much.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, I could do that. Listen. Yeah, I know. I'd get tips from you. You. Kid psychology was what you were within the beginning. Right. Or what was the official label for what you were doing and

[KB]

sped.

[Mark Titus]

Okay, gotcha.

[KB]

Special ed.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. But for babies. That's what it was. Okay. Because I was trying to think of what exactly you were doing with young kids at first. Okay. That makes sense. I gotta phrase that. Not like. Not like that.

[Mark Titus]

You asked that to back when you were in college, too, in your journalism.

[Connor Griffin]

I did not ask that. But no, I. I Titus.

[Mark Titus]

Talk about this a lot.

[Connor Griffin]

You.

[Mark Titus]

I don't know if you've publicly said it, but you say you have. You could exonerate Joe Paterno.

[Connor Griffin]

I've never.

[Mark Titus]

You've implied that.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, no, I think there was. There was a book, and I haven't looked at the book or anything like that, but there was the. The book that got sent to us on opening day yesterday of the whole Joe Paterno angle to it all and everything like that. Yeah, there was.

[Kyle]

Someone sent a book that was basically Joe Paul didn't know, and Connor's, like, eyes lit up and he was like, oh, interesting.

[Connor Griffin]

I said it was an interesting book. Interesting book.

[Mark Titus]

That's just. You want to add if he didn't know, because he should have known.

[Connor Griffin]

There's not just. There's a lot to the story. There's a lot to the story. But yeah, yeah, listen, it's. It's. There. There's, you know, obviously the scandal happened in 2011, and they're obviously was the initial, like, media wave and everything like that. And then there's been a lot that's happened afterwards that.

[Shay]

Is there anyone else on your side?

[Connor Griffin]

No, I don't know.

[Kyle]

This is what he was doing at camp.

[Connor Griffin]

Oh, yeah.

[Kyle]

I Remembered at camp. It was like the funniest setting.

[Connor Griffin]

Well, I know. Yeah, that was. We. I don't know how that came up. We were talking about it at one of the lunch tables over, like, breakfast or something like that. I don't know. I don't know how it came up.

[Kyle]

Camp bar stool.

[Connor Griffin]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Titus]

I don't.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't bring it up. Like, I. It obviously comes up because people, you know, ask me about it or they. They make jokes about it or they're like, you know, harping on that or whatever. And then one thing led to another and we were like getting into the story and everything like that. And yeah, we just got into this full, like, discussion about it. But, yeah, no, it's a. It's a weird thing.

[Mark Titus]

How old were you in 2011?

[Connor Griffin]

I was 11. Yeah. Every. So 20. 26. I'm 26. Every year. I'm.

[Mark Titus]

And you were a die hard Penn State fan then, right?

[Connor Griffin]

Not die hard, but a fan to the degree, yeah. But I grew up.

[Mark Titus]

Did it shatter you?

[Connor Griffin]

Not necessarily, no. Because I was. I was still, like, kind of not clueless about the. The scope of it all, but I didn't grasp at the time, like, how big of a fucking deal it was.

[Shay]

And then eventually, still haven't, it seems like.

[Connor Griffin]

Well, I know. I mean, it's the biggest sports scandal of all time possibly, and it's up there as one of the biggest ones.

[KB]

It's the grossest.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, yeah. No, and it's a massive, massive stain on the university and everything like that.

[Kyle]

You guys will be better this year, though, in terms of, like, the coach. The new coach you have.

[Connor Griffin]

Yes. Then the new coaches is a good team. Yes, yes. Very, very excited for that. But, yeah, but every single time I ever say it, every single time, you know, I would talk about Penn State football throughout that whole period, whether it was middle school, high school, always was met with, you know, you know, the Sandusky. And it obviously still happens. So. Yeah, it's just part of the territory, I guess.

[Mark Titus]

He's sneaky. Still alive.

[Connor Griffin]

He still is.

[Mark Titus]

I think people assume that.

[Connor Griffin]

No, no. Yeah, he's still in jail or prison. Technically, you know, he's alive.

[Danny]

Have you ever talked with and recorded conversation with Roan about it? Because wasn't Roan one of the first people on it from, like, the school newspaper?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, so I have not talked to him about it. And then Jeff D. Lowe was in the student section at the time. It was called Paterno Ville. Changed it to.

[Kyle]

Roan was like, he worked for the student newspaper as all this.

[Connor Griffin]

I think it was with the Collegiate, which is the. The paper at the time. Yeah.

[Shay]

Whoa.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't know if he was, like, breaking the news or anything like that, but he might have been critical.

[Danny]

He had full details.

[Connor Griffin]

He might have been critical of Paterno just in general. And then that broke. I don't know exactly the story. I'd have to talk to him about it. But, yeah, Jeff D. Lowe was. I believe. I don't think this is breaking news, but, yeah, he was. He was part of the. The students who at the time were like, it would probably be a good move to change it from Paternoville to Nittanyville.

[Shay]

He had it printed out on receipts. Change the name of Paterno, Bill.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. But, yeah, if you go to Beaver Stadium and you. There are students who camp out ahead of the games and everything like that, that. It's Nittanyville, they'll be intense and everything like that, waiting to be the first ones in the stadium on Saturday and everything. And it's Nittanyville. That's what Jeff D. Lo did back when it was paternal. Then he switched the name.

[Kyle]

Wow.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Yeah. Pretty wild.

[Kyle]

How about that?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. But I. Again, I was just in middle school at the time, so I was not, like, fully, fully into the world of just how big it was. Yeah.

[KB]

Anyway, Joe Paterno appropriately vilified.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

But

[Mark Titus]

what could follow this?

[Connor Griffin]

Butt. Yeah. I'm very curious to hear the butt.

[KB]

Nightmare scenario.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Shay]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Bad scenario.

[KB]

Yeah. Define like, he did everything wrong, but finding that I would. He died at the worst time, I would kill myself.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah. He was so old, though, it probably would be easy to move him.

[Connor Griffin]

Cancer. Yeah. It's tough. Very, very tough time and still. Still persists. But.

[Mark Titus]

And when did they take a statue down?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, they took it down in 2012, and it's still around, but nobody knows where it is.

[Kyle]

You still have your football team. That's all that matters.

[Mark Titus]

I mean, if Big Cat wants to buy stuff that colleges are getting rid of.

[Connor Griffin]

Oh. I mean, yeah. I mean, that. I don't know where that is, but I don't think he would be able to get his hands on it.

[Danny]

So.

[Shay]

So it's in your closet. It sounds like.

[Connor Griffin]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. But I. There was a whole thing where, like, people were trying to find where it was, and nobody's been able to find it, but it's still around.

[Kyle]

So I'm excited for Big Cat's pursuit of these.

[Mark Titus]

Is that, like the. The Us Sphinx, like we're trying. It's buried somewhere. We're trying to find it.

[Connor Griffin]

Kind of. Kind of.

[Mark Titus]

They did find a new sphinx right? Underground.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Egypt.

[Connor Griffin]

Oh, I don't know.

[Kyle]

I didn't know that.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, I'll look into it.

[Mark Titus]

New sphinx out.

[Connor Griffin]

New sphinx dropped.

[Mark Titus]

If they melted down Joe Paterno and they were selling like like necklace into like little coins, would you buy one?

[Connor Griffin]

No.

[Mark Titus]

You wouldn't?

[Connor Griffin]

No, I would not buy.

[Mark Titus]

What if it went to like a good cause

[Connor Griffin]

still? Probably.

[Kyle]

I mean, what if it went to a bad cause?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, no, no, I'm not fine. If it went to a bad.

[Kyle]

If it went to a really, really bad.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't, I don't buy. Really? That's that like you guys are always into like buying. Brandon in particular. I don't buy stuff really. Not a whole lot.

[Shay]

It's because we're poor.

[Connor Griffin]

Connor. Yeah, maybe that's it. I don't know. But I just. I can't get behind the thought process of I'm gonna commit a significant financial investment in just having something to have it. I'm not there yet.

[Mark Titus]

Is your apartment decorated?

[Connor Griffin]

A little bit, but yeah, that, that's barely.

[Mark Titus]

How is your apparently decorated?

[KB]

Yeah. And we're. We're going like tropical watermelon.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

Tropical melon. It's a lot of like pale honeydews and pinks.

[Mark Titus]

Okay.

[KB]

Which I'm fine with. I like that scheme. The woman is pitching some things that are more pink than tropical.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[KB]

And the other day I finally got. We got a painting in the mail and it was the Eiffel Tower. And I was like, oh, I like this. It was just the, the stock.

[Mark Titus]

Stock image in the frame.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

I complimented her taste in the Eiffel Tower.

[Mark Titus]

So what went in the frame?

[KB]

It's gonna be like a. Like splatterings of pinks.

[Mark Titus]

Okay.

[KB]

Yeah. So yeah, I'm just leaning into it. I don't mind. No, I like pink as a color.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, it's nice.

[Connor Griffin]

It is nice. Yeah. What's any update on Goldfingers apartment?

[Shay]

Still feels.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah. He wants. We might do a like a pre recorded episode of Anus there or something. Yeah, yeah. In the blue.

[Connor Griffin]

That'd be surreal.

[Mark Titus]

It'll be unreal.

[Connor Griffin]

Kb, are you liking the new area though?

[KB]

The new area?

[Connor Griffin]

Are you in your fairly new area?

[KB]

Yeah, yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Okay.

[KB]

Yeah, yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

But it's

[KB]

significant downgrade. But I love it.

[Connor Griffin]

What do you. What do you mean downgrade? In what respect?

[KB]

I mean the neighborhood is not nearly as nice and built up and modern. But I like the apartment a lot more. I like my home a lot more. And there's a. There's a park across the street and I like to walk laps. Yeah, that's big for me.

[Connor Griffin]

Okay. I like that.

[KB]

So I can walk laps through the park.

[Connor Griffin]

That's very nice.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Your old apartment had a lot of problems, right? Wasn't there?

[KB]

No, just like a. Two murders and a flood. Otherwise it was a great apartment.

[Mark Titus]

Did they ever catch that guy?

[KB]

I don't think so.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[KB]

He killed someone in my apartment.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

And there was like a helicopter surrounding your apartment for hours. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[KB]

Like a real hostage situation.

[Mark Titus]

And then it turned out he was never in there. He just got out somehow.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Wasn't there. Didn't somebody get killed in your lobby as well?

[KB]

Yeah, but she was already dead.

[Connor Griffin]

Oh.

[Mark Titus]

Oh.

[Kyle]

Nothing to worry.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

That's just.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, man. And you're in a worse area now.

[Danny]

Yeah.

Upgrade to the flavorful nut mix, Blue diamond almonds and more.

[Connor Griffin]

We're talking to people from Blue diamond last night. Really great people. Great people.

[Kyle]

Are they good people?

[Connor Griffin]

Very good people.

[Kyle]

If they were bad people, how would we handle that?

[Connor Griffin]

I don't know. We don't have to worry about it because they're great people.

[Kyle]

Guess we'll never know.

[Connor Griffin]

Also, Experian Che is killing it in bracket booth. Yeah, it's crazy. Big, big Bracket busters. Iowa going to the elite eight.

[Danny]

I'm a big fan of Experian and they are boosting the payout 10k more if Iowa makes to the final four.

[Kyle]

So what if they win at all,

[Danny]

the contest will stop. I did place a Futon Island. They're 45 to 1 to win.

[Kyle]

You like this. I would see you like you like. You like what you're seeing out of them.

[Danny]

Yeah. There's a cool loophole in if you place a bet, a futures bet within the state of Illinois and Illinois wins the whole thing. Futures bets are refunded on the tournament.

[Kyle]

Oh, how about that?

[Connor Griffin]

Very interesting.

[Danny]

Because you can't bet on just miss something.

[Mark Titus]

Very interesting. Or was that just a filler?

[Connor Griffin]

Che talking about bracket busters and the odds that Iowa has to win it all right now, 45 to 1.

[Kyle]

You guys had a Rico on yesterday. Yeah, I. I talked to him last night in the cave. He seems to be in way better spirits about tonight than I anticipated. Was that the situation?

[KB]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[KB]

Seemed too shaken up. He seemed level headed. He had a sense of humor.

[Kyle]

It was.

[KB]

Yeah, it was just.

[Mark Titus]

But it almost seems like he's.

[KB]

I'm sure that'll.

[Mark Titus]

He's accepted. Alabama probably won't win.

[Danny]

No, he. I asked him confidence level one to ten. He said nine.

[KB]

He seemed. Yesterday he seemed very prepared for Alabama

[Mark Titus]

to lose and I think that's. That's worst case if Bama loses. And then he does this podcast with Nadu and he's fine. Dave would be livid if he's just like.

[KB]

And he's cool about it.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Shay]

I also just saw Meek Phil set. His goal for tonight is to make Rico cry. Meek Phil, they asked, is your goal to make Rico punch you? He said no, I want to see him cry. He's gonna have to deal.

[KB]

Sometimes I forget that he's not like a. Like a jungle cat. He's human.

[Mark Titus]

Right.

[KB]

And he knows the implications and he knows that like the worst case scenario would be him to handle this in a very healthy manner. So he has to.

[Connor Griffin]

It's.

[KB]

It's a weird to like blow up

[Mark Titus]

to help himself do, but I don't think it would be fake if he does blow up.

[KB]

That's the thing he is good at.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

He doesn't have to fake it, but subconsciously he knows like there's like a little catalyst I do his subconscious where it'll. It'll go off easier because he knows it will help him professionally.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Shay]

They also know how to still like goat him though. Like the Thing with the. What was it? The fake. The jumps.

[Connor Griffin]

Oh, the jumps.

[Shay]

Like he was actually mad.

[KB]

Oh. You know, his emotions are very real.

[Shay]

Yeah. I'm saying if he ever was, there would never be a need for him to fake it because they know exactly how to make him actually mad.

[KB]

Right.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah. But like, we were poking fun at him yesterday. He was laughing along, so I don't know what changes

[Connor Griffin]

there were. Megan brought it up on web today where she was like, is there a scenario where if Michigan does win, Enrico has to do this podcast with Nadu if he sticks to it. Is there ever a chance of Rico actually growing a little bit of a liking to Nadu, or is that best

[Kyle]

friends out of the.

[Connor Griffin]

Not necessarily best friend. Although that would be funny. It would be a great redemption story. But just he can at least tolerate him. And they actually put together a pretty decent product of a podcast.

[Shay]

I'd say yes. Just because I don't think you can hate him any more than he does now. He can only go down.

[Connor Griffin]

It's only going down. Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

I don't know.

[Connor Griffin]

There might be something else, dude. I don't know. But I'll be locked in. I. I can't wait to see that stream. Also, the. The element of the pick central guys being there.

[Mark Titus]

When are they. Are they legitimately mad at Rico or were they expecting him to leave this show, though?

[Kyle]

I don't know. I'm the wrong guy to ask.

[Connor Griffin]

I mean, based off of.

[Shay]

I. I've heard. Legitimately mad.

[Connor Griffin]

Based on what I've seen. Yeah.

[Shay]

Seen, I should say, was that there

[Connor Griffin]

wasn't really much of a conversation about it and they were kind of blindsided. So I don't know. But apparently. Yeah. If Meek is already planning and has stuff up asleep and whatnot, what's he.

[Mark Titus]

What's he going to do to make Rico cry?

[Connor Griffin]

I don't know.

[Shay]

It's a great question.

[Mark Titus]

I don't.

[Kyle]

Yeah. Rico's not. He's not gonna cry. He's gonna probably get angry.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Be my guess, he'll probably get if. I know. I think I do.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

He might throw something.

[Connor Griffin]

Is Phil.

[Kyle]

He might scream. Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Is he being instructed to do this or he just wants to do this?

[Mark Titus]

I don't know.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't feel enough.

[Mark Titus]

I don't know.

[Connor Griffin]

He's an enigma.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't grasp it.

[Kyle]

But I will say of all the Sweet 16 games, Michigan, Alabama was probably the least interesting.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

And now it's the most. You know, it's everything.

[Connor Griffin]

It's got a lot of juice.

[Kyle]

Yeah, the Juice.

[Mark Titus]

Let's see.

[Connor Griffin]

Any fun weekend plans for anybody I know? Mark, you'll be here watching a ton of hoops, having a time.

[Mark Titus]

Cons is asking if he can have a small percentage of Rico's doubled salary as a stipulation for allowing him to return to Barstool.

[Connor Griffin]

Ah.

[KB]

Oh.

[Connor Griffin]

Might have a claim.

[KB]

That's. Yeah, I.

[Connor Griffin]

That was.

[Mark Titus]

That was a while ago.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Shay]

People don't forget.

[Connor Griffin]

Nonum Spill. Employees text discussing hypotheticals before tonight's big stream. 10%.

[Mark Titus]

I just don't think you can retroactively if you've already forgiven. Yeah, yeah, but, Titus, have you forgiven for wanting to get you fired?

[Kyle]

Oh, Bosco.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Oh, I forgot. He did that.

[Connor Griffin]

Did you.

[Kyle]

Oh, he did do that. When I first got hired here, he tried to get me fired.

[Shay]

That's at least 5%.

[Kyle]

Yeah. I should get a cut. Yeah. I forget a little bit of his salary. Yeah. Yeah, that's a great point.

[Mark Titus]

Everybody should go with qualms and be like, I deserve a percentage. Oh, he's making less than he is now.

[Connor Griffin]

The. The con stuff was. Was way before my time. So was the. The Big T High Noon.

[Mark Titus]

That was before you.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, that was before me. So I. I'm still.

[Mark Titus]

You lived in New York.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, I was in New York for a little over a year.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Shay]

But when was the Big T high noon thing?

[Connor Griffin]

20, 21. Early 22, I think.

[Shay]

Oh, I thought you'd been here longer than that.

[Connor Griffin]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Kyle]

I just said like that. Oh, no, no, no.

[Connor Griffin]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So, yeah.

[Mark Titus]

How long have you been here, Ky?

[Shay]

No, no, more than that.

[Mark Titus]

It's 20. 26.

[Connor Griffin]

6.

[Shay]

Oh, my God.

[KB]

Coming up on 8. 8. So 7 and a half.

[Connor Griffin]

Crazy.

[KB]

But it feels like that much.

[Mark Titus]

It feels exactly like that much, right?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

Which is good.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, I guess. Time's moving.

[KB]

Time is not flying.

[Connor Griffin]

You prefer it that way to not be flying. It's just going steady.

[KB]

Eddie, when you look at it from the perspective of barstool.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, it has it.

[KB]

But, like, still, like, the years go by so fast. The weeks do.

[Mark Titus]

But I've been paranoid.

[KB]

So much happens.

[Mark Titus]

I've been paranoid with how fast time is moving. It's scary, it's poor. I. I hate it. And so I was looking up tactics to, like, help your mind feel like it's going slower. And people say you need to add whimsy to your life.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

But I don't know what. Or how to do that.

[Connor Griffin]

That.

[KB]

I just saw this too.

[Mark Titus]

Were you having the same absurdism? I don't know if it was exactly that.

[KB]

Approach situations with, like, optimistic curiosity.

[Mark Titus]

Yes.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Which I think I do the opposite.

[Connor Griffin]

No.

[KB]

I think the best way to make time move slowly is to constantly suffer and have horrible days.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[KB]

Horrible. Long. Mundane at best, torturous at worst.

[Mark Titus]

Oh, yeah. Like when I had a desk job, it was. I was. I had a post it notes where I would tally the minutes.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

If you want time to ooze, maybe, like, give up food.

[Mark Titus]

Honestly.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

Get really hungry.

[Connor Griffin]

I. I saw a story about. I think it was Kevin James. He fasted for, like, 41 straight days. Yeah. Something along those lines.

[Mark Titus]

I think Joe Rogan did 31 yeah,

[Connor Griffin]

yeah, that could be a way.

[Shay]

He wanted to one up. Jesus.

[Connor Griffin]

Maybe that 41 mark.

[Shay]

You can't do that.

[Connor Griffin]

No, no, no, no. Right.

[KB]

Something. Or do something crazy.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

There was a man named. What was his name?

[Mark Titus]

What did he do?

[KB]

I think his name was Troy. Greg. Yeah, Greg with three GS.

[Connor Griffin]

Okay.

[KB]

G R, E, G, G is on death row. It was like, a landmark case in Georgia. And the day before his execution, he escaped. Him and three fellow inmates orchestrated this elaborate prison break. It worked. One of their aunties drove them away, went to a bar, a biker bar in North Carolina, and got beat up to death. Oh, yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

What?

[Kyle]

Whoa.

[KB]

Yeah. Not to be confused with.

[Connor Griffin]

Well, that.

[KB]

That is a Troy. Greg. Yeah. Then there's an. A fellow named Greg. Troy.

[Mark Titus]

Oh, okay.

[KB]

Easy to confuse also with a quarter dozen GS. And Greg, who is an alum of TCU. Oh, he is an illustrious swimming coach of the great Troy. Yeah, I think he won the golden goggles, so.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

That's who you've been into, those two

[Connor Griffin]

guys you're on the Wave.

[Mark Titus]

I've been into. I think his name's. I think his name's Bum Fardo. Yeah, you know Bum Fart?

[KB]

I've heard of him.

[Mark Titus]

He's a Florida Keys, like, drug mule that used to be a fireman, but he would drive, like, a lime green car. He always wore, like, hot pink.

[KB]

Someone sent me him before.

[Mark Titus]

He.

[Connor Griffin]

He.

[Mark Titus]

He was on the lam and he ran away. And I guess Jimmy Buffett hinted to where he was in one of his songs. So I don't know if Bomb Farto's still with us.

[KB]

Where is he?

[Connor Griffin]

Dead?

[Mark Titus]

Pronounced dead. No, he ran away, like, right before. I believe he was supposed to go to trial.

[KB]

Amazing.

[Mark Titus]

So Fardo was on the run, but, like, they were trying to put up wanted Bum Fardo signs, and people kept stealing them.

[KB]

Yeah, I would take.

[Mark Titus]

I would take that in a heartbeat.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Gotta have one of those lines.

[Connor Griffin]

How are you guys finding these guys?

[KB]

Do you get Wikipedia?

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, every link is crazy. Everybody. Everybody has a Wikipedia page. Everybody has a controversies tab. And Kyle brought up, like, they always sneak in jabs into your Wikipedia. Who are you talking about? Task.

[KB]

I was looking at a bunch of old baseball players in ta. Yeah. And it's like, also, he died penniless.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, Just.

[KB]

Okay.

[Mark Titus]

Don't need to sneak that.

[KB]

Didn't need to say that.

[Connor Griffin]

That. Yeah, I gotta get on that Wikipedia.

[KB]

It's fantastic.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't have any guys I don't know. You have a Bum Farto. I don't have anybody like that, but that's a good one.

[Mark Titus]

You probably do it with like Star

[Connor Griffin]

wars characters that you know or something, right? Oh, yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Quadrant Arrows and Quadrineros.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

My favorite guy.

[Connor Griffin]

You know, I'll figure something out.

[Mark Titus]

But what's, what's going on with Star Wars? Anything coming out?

[Connor Griffin]

The Mandalorian and Grogu coming out in May with Pedro Pascal Scorny Weavers in it. Grogu and Grogu Yoda and then Starfighter. Yeah. There's Ben Quadranieros.

[Mark Titus]

That's my favorite guy.

[Connor Griffin]

Pod racer.

[KB]

I wouldn't call him a guy.

[Connor Griffin]

Why not? Specimen.

[Kyle]

That, that's just not a good.

[Mark Titus]

I feel like he and I have similar builds.

[Shay]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

So I've always been drawn to, Drawn to him.

[Kyle]

Gosling, who plays him in the movies?

[Mark Titus]

Ben.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't know the voice.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, it's probably.

[Kyle]

Oh, it's a voice.

[Connor Griffin]

Might be Matthew Wood, maybe. But then Gosling is in a Star wars movie that's gonna really. Next year. Starfighter. Ryan Gosling. I need to go see Project Hail Mary.

[Mark Titus]

What you're doing this weekend.

[Connor Griffin]

I'll try and figure out a time to go. I don't know if it'll be this weekend because a bunch of hoops. Oh, it'll, the games will be on later at night, so maybe. Yeah.

[Kyle]

Tomorrow and two on Sunday.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

You got time?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, I'll do that. Then I'll go this weekend. Great.

[Danny]

Three hours of trailers.

[Kyle]

What?

[Danny]

Three hours with trailers.

[Mark Titus]

With trailers.

[Connor Griffin]

But yeah, I, I, I, I like the trailers. So do I. Yeah. So I, I would go for the full three hours. Yeah.

[Danny]

Block of time.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, I like the trailers. I, I like the whole movie theater experience. It's one of my favorite things to do. Going solo to the movies, great feeling has.

[Danny]

Has anyone ever gone to the movies specifically to see Sigourney Weaver?

[Connor Griffin]

No.

[Danny]

To like, what Would she be as successful if her, if she just was named like Jane Davis. That's a very recognizable name.

[Connor Griffin]

Well, no.

[Shay]

What is that?

[Mark Titus]

I don't.

[Kyle]

What's the question? Well, she's a box office draw. Is that what you're asking?

[Danny]

Yeah. And would she be as successful if she had a regular name? Sigourney Weaver is a very memorable name.

[KB]

Why are you picking her out? Any other random actress we just talked about.

[Danny]

Oh, what the hell.

[Mark Titus]

Her real name's Susan. She chose Sigourney.

[Connor Griffin]

I want, correct me if I'm wrong, I want to say when actors are getting like their SAG card, like they

[Mark Titus]

have to come up with, like a.

[Connor Griffin]

They can't, like, repeat names. Yes.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

A lot of actors have, like.

[Mark Titus]

But how'd she get that name?

[Connor Griffin]

Alternate names as a result.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

I guess Avatar is the only other thing that I would have seen. I mean, Che. A lot of her work.

[Mark Titus]

Alien.

[Connor Griffin]

Her biggest work was. Yeah. In the 80s, so. Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

I feel like she's a draw.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Shay]

They were trying to convince Leo to change his name to Lenny Williams.

[Mark Titus]

Really? His name is Leonardo DiCaprio. Perfect.

[Kyle]

It's pretty.

[KB]

It is a mouthful.

[Connor Griffin]

I think Leonardo DiCaprio has the best name of anybody in the world. Probably in the way. Really in the way that it flows, the way that it has that, like.

[Kyle]

What about Iranian chess prodigy Cena? Move Ahead Dead.

[Connor Griffin]

Wait, that's an actual person. See, this is the thing I need. I. I don't have these guys. I'm not.

[Kyle]

That's a pretty good name.

[Connor Griffin]

I'm not hip to these people. Then that's. That's actually a really good one. But in terms of. Yeah. Star appeal, major celebrities. Leonardo DiCaprio has an unbelievable.

[KB]

That name hinges on being a star.

[Connor Griffin]

Correct.

[KB]

If he was just in your slack. Holy.

[Kyle]

Yeah. The chess grandmaster.

[KB]

Young goat, Seen a move ahead. Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Dude, you got to get guys.

[Connor Griffin]

I gotta get guys. I don't have them. I'm not on Wikipedia like that.

[Mark Titus]

But there was a. We talked about him today. But there's a Tokyo Sex Whale.

[KB]

Tokyo

[Mark Titus]

Sequale.

[KB]

But it's pronounced. Yeah.

[Shay]

Who's he?

[Mark Titus]

He was in prison with Nelson Mandela.

[Connor Griffin]

Oh, okay.

[Mark Titus]

And he's also the host of the Apprentice. South Africa.

[Connor Griffin]

That is so. Oh, yeah. There he is.

[Kyle]

Tony Sex Whale. Tokyo. Tokyo, Tokyo.

[Mark Titus]

He got the nickname because he did karate.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. It's really helpful. Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

You're Tokyo now.

[Connor Griffin]

That rocks. Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

I think you're gonna be Tokyo Sex Wallet.

[Connor Griffin]

Do you have a nickname, a nickname at all when you were growing up? No, nothing.

[Mark Titus]

No, I never have, Nick.

[Connor Griffin]

That's it.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, it sucks.

[Connor Griffin]

Aside from Clicky, I was trying to think of something that you would have, but, yeah, I couldn't think of any.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

No.

[Mark Titus]

And, like, my last name isn't conducive to just calling me by that. You can't really shorten it.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. No. Dan. Did you have a nickname? Danny?

[Shay]

I can't say it on air.

[Connor Griffin]

Okay, Fair. Fair.

[KB]

No.

[Shay]

Dan the Man. You know, nobody was calling.

[Mark Titus]

I guess everybody was calling me Dan the Man.

[KB]

No way.

[Kyle]

Holy. It's Dan the Man.

[Shay]

It was.

[Kyle]

Damn. The man was going to be at this party.

[Shay]

It was my aim. Screen name. I was hoping it would stick.

[Connor Griffin]

Damn.

[Shay]

Did not.

[Connor Griffin]

And the Man. I mean Fairness.

[Mark Titus]

Radical.

[Connor Griffin]

Con. Radical.

[Shay]

No one ever called me that either. But I was hoping it would stick to.

[Connor Griffin]

I mean a Conrad is a. Just a great name.

[Shay]

Dc.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Dc Yeah. I just. But if there is somebody I know, that's Dan immediately they're Dan the Man.

[Shay]

Were you Griffetti?

[Connor Griffin]

Griff's crazy prime dog.

[Shay]

You should go buy Scoof more often. Like change your handles.

[Connor Griffin]

The scoop Goof maybe do it. We'll see. But even like Sam in the tech room, I call him Sam the Man. Even though that doesn't even rhyme.

[Mark Titus]

Sam the Man.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't know. I just like I anything like that. Like a three letter word that kind of resembles man. Like the man.

[Shay]

Eddie. Eddie tried getting Danimal to stick with me for years.

[Mark Titus]

That place really terrible.

[Connor Griffin]

I love Danimal.

[Kyle]

Eddie's pretty sneaky. Good at.

[Shay]

Yeah. Nicknames.

[Mark Titus]

What's he called? Doug?

[Kyle]

I don't know. I don't know if he's good at it.

[Connor Griffin]

Pizza guy.

[Mark Titus]

Applesauce Doug.

[Kyle]

He's got a unique brain for it, I'll say that. Like last night I was watching. We were watching the Purdue game and the key. And he was in the cave watching the Purdue game and he called Purdue the makers. And I've never. And all in my entire life growing up in Indiana and being around Purdue basketball, I've never once heard anybody call them the makers.

[Connor Griffin]

No.

[Kyle]

Like here we go, Maker. He put some money on Purdue and he's like, here we go, makers.

[KB]

You just coined that out of thin air, I think.

[Kyle]

I don't. I've never heard in my life.

[Mark Titus]

I've never seen a shirt that says

[KB]

makers in reference to making the shop pots.

[Connor Griffin]

Boilers.

[Kyle]

The boiler breakers.

[Connor Griffin]

Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

[Shay]

He used to call Dave Portnoy.

[KB]

Yeah, he was never even thought of that.

[Shay]

He was called Portnoy Dante. Oh, you can't do everyone else call him Prez.

[Mark Titus]

Come on, Kyle. You called a dildo a dough the other day and I didn't love it.

[KB]

Felt like that has been done.

[Mark Titus]

Really?

[KB]

It felt like it was of the

[Connor Griffin]

culture of the culture of the.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, dildo culture.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[KB]

Well, I'm about to get in good with Dykes.

[Kyle]

What?

[KB]

Sonny Dykes, the coach of tc. If their football account is tweeting about me, then maybe.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, you're gonna be in his radar.

[Kyle]

Sonny Dykes Connor. That's a good name.

[Connor Griffin]

Sonny Dice. Yeah, right. He. I don't know if he's been to this office. No, he wasn't at this office. Tcu. We, Dawson used to be working with us and he would bring, like, TCU guys through all the time.

[Mark Titus]

He was hanging around with the chancellor.

[Connor Griffin]

He'd hang around with the chancellor, hanging around with Sonny Dyke. Sonny Dykes, I think, was his head coach. And the, the quarterback, Max Duggan, I think was here.

[Shay]

Dawson got picked for Kate Dayton quit the company.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, he really did. He really did. There are still some that have to be done, right? Malice still has to be done. Mal.

[Shay]

Sec.

[Kyle]

Jerry.

[Shay]

Steph. Kate said she was waiting for the weather because, I don't know, she wants to go bird watching or some.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mark Titus]

There probably some like that.

[Kyle]

Probably.

[Shay]

What's your middle name?

[Connor Griffin]

Connor Francis. Which people laugh at for some reason.

[Kyle]

Chuckling.

[KB]

Yeah, you're about to get me chuckling right now.

[Connor Griffin]

I used to get teased for that. I was like, but nobody calls me Francis.

[Shay]

What's cfg?

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, cfg.

[Mark Titus]

Connor Francis Griffin.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Family name.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Yeah. But you know, the, When Brandon says bfw, like, he's just making up his middle initial. Like, I actually do have the middle initial.

[Mark Titus]

F. What's your mom's first name?

[Connor Griffin]

I'm not getting into that. Not getting into that. You know, she's doing okay. Before you guys ask any questions, she's fine.

[Mark Titus]

What's she doing?

[Shay]

We know.

[Connor Griffin]

I, I, I don't, I don't know what she's up to at the moment,

[Mark Titus]

but trying to picture. I'll give her a picture what she's doing right now.

[Connor Griffin]

I'll give her a call.

[Mark Titus]

Is she running in slow mo.

[Connor Griffin]

She's not. Wait, yeah, that, no, no, I'll give her a call later. Are you going Baywatch? Is that what you're bay. Watching?

[Kyle]

My mom, she's getting out of a pool.

[Mark Titus]

Where is she slowly getting out of pool?

[KB]

Where is she living now?

[Connor Griffin]

I'm not, I'm not saying you can't

[KB]

tell me where your mom lives.

[Connor Griffin]

No. Because if I say it, then you guys automatically will be like, oh, my God. You know, and then you go, let your mind have a field day. And I'm not doing that. Not doing.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, a field day with your mom.

[Connor Griffin]

Not like that. Not like that. It is very funny because she will not watch any of this shit. She does not watch the act. Rarely, rarely, rarely will she watch mostly sports, but she does tune in to wake up barstool. And she does tell people in the neighborhood, like, oh, like, my, My son's on national television. It's on FS1. Like, if you Want to check it out and everything and. Yeah, even that I'm still worried about even though it's more buttoned up and we can't really talk about a whole lot of stuff on there. Yeah, stop, stop now.

[Mark Titus]

I'm not a fan of buttoned up stuff.

[Connor Griffin]

No, no, no, I. I still. No, she is. She is a fan of buttoned up stuff, Nick. Because that's the one thing that she will watch because it's still semi professional. I mean, not really professionals. And we can't really get into this type of. That you guys pull on other shows about.

[Mark Titus]

Does she just watch it at home on tv?

[Connor Griffin]

I don't know where you're going with this next question.

[Mark Titus]

No, yeah, just. Yeah, nice tv.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Okay. Probably.

[Mark Titus]

It's a big set.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, exactly. She. She still. She dvrs it. She still has a DVR machine. Yeah. I don't know why, you guys, but

[Kyle]

yeah, she watched on Thursday.

[Connor Griffin]

I think she did watch yesterday.

[Kyle]

She watched yesterday. I was on.

[Connor Griffin]

Actually, no, I didn't. I didn't talk to her at all yesterday. I don't know. I didn't even. She didn't text me or anything like that to tell the. Tell me that she was watching it. So I don't know. She probably was. She probably was watching it later at night. Yeah. She knows who you are.

[Mark Titus]

Should. I had a cock slip.

[Kyle]

I've met her. Yeah, you don't bring around the office.

[Connor Griffin]

There's a reason for that.

[Kyle]

What? What's the reason?

[Connor Griffin]

I mean, like, like, first of all, this is back when Malasek was working here. Malisek cornered her for like 10 minutes and was just talking to my mom. Yeah.

[Shay]

Worry about there.

[Connor Griffin]

And. And then he comes up to me afterwards and he's like, dude, she's great.

[Kyle]

He's a bad guy. Yeah, he's a bad guy feature Mom. And then it's just immediately.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Sexualizing her.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Yeah.

[KB]

Crazy.

[Connor Griffin]

No, I. I brought her here. God. It was pretty much right when this office opened and it was on a Friday. And typically on Fridays people leave here earlier and they go about their weekends and everything like that. And for whatever reason, that was the one Friday where everybody was here.

[Mark Titus]

I'm sure it's not coral.

[Connor Griffin]

No, but I didn't tell her. I didn't tell anybody.

[Kyle]

Everybody was here.

[Connor Griffin]

I didn't tell anybody that she was coming.

[KB]

Everyone was here. No, no, she was coming.

[Connor Griffin]

I didn't tell anybody that she was arriving to the office at that day. Nobody knew. And I brought her in thinking like, yeah, everybody Will be out of here by then and it'll be fine. I'll show around, whatever. And Mark and Brandon are just like for whatever they're having like a sandwich in the studio like coffee for no reason. Like they, they were never there that late in the day except for that one day. And so I'm showing her the most studio and I walk in, I'm like oh fuck. Brandon and Mark are still here. And then they met her and from there it's, it's all history.

[Kyle]

Sure is. Yeah, it sure is.

[Connor Griffin]

But you know, she's doing, she's doing all right.

[Mark Titus]

That's good. That's really good.

[Kyle]

She's not watching right now.

[Connor Griffin]

No, no, she's not good.

[KB]

Okay, great.

[Kyle]

Makes me comfortable.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, probably, probably will have no idea that I was even on the show. But tell her no, I'm okay. Yeah, that's fair.

[Kyle]

Did people growing up sexualizer your friends?

[Connor Griffin]

No, never.

[Kyle]

Never.

[Connor Griffin]

I, I think what, what you find Mark, is that this office is a bunch of perverts and I, you know people could go out there their daily

[Mark Titus]

lives and it's weird to Fetish 2 Giants titties.

[Connor Griffin]

You have to be a real sick. You never met my mom.

[Mark Titus]

I saw here. No, I saw a photo.

[Connor Griffin]

Okay. Yeah but there, there has never been an instance where yeah you have met her in person or anything like that. So yeah, I think it's a bit odd personally to be, you know, odd spelled o dd you're a funny guy.

[Mark Titus]

Oh with two Ds.

[Connor Griffin]

You're quick.

[KB]

A bit odd.

[Kyle]

She's not watching right now. Right? This is like cuz I can, I can I. She's not watching.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't think she's watching her.

[Kyle]

She's got

[Connor Griffin]

and yeah you notice I,

[Kyle]

I, I did not. I saw them first because like when she turned into the doorway, I saw.

[Connor Griffin]

I, I don't bring up anybody else's wives, mothers, girlfriend. I don't bring anything up but people they feel, they feel comfortable talking about my mother. So it is what it is. I guess

[KB]

she brings me up also.

[Kyle]

You talk about my wife spread on her. Yeah, no said on air that my wife spread was phenomenal.

[Connor Griffin]

You guys make it out to be a bigger thing than it is. Your wife is awesome. I've never said, I've never said it. I've never said anything about. Oh my God, your wife. Oh like no, but she's a great lady and her spread her the, the spread that she cooked and you could go back and watch the tape of me saying that when I Said it was a good spread. I was talking about the food. I said verbatim the food. It was a good spread that you put together for Halloween. When I was over at your place, we were trick or treating, handing out candy. You did put Mark's mom on the table. I didn't know. I didn't put Mark's mom on the table.

[Mark Titus]

I thought moms were on the table.

[Connor Griffin]

No, that was your. Your father who put her on the table.

[Kyle]

This is why, pervert.

[Mark Titus]

Is it all downsides when we talk about your mom?

[Connor Griffin]

See, I can't answer questions from you.

[KB]

Why?

[Connor Griffin]

Because I know there's a follow up question that's a trap. That this first question.

[KB]

Talk to him like a colleague. Converse.

[Connor Griffin]

Ask your question again.

[Mark Titus]

Are there any downsides? Like is it all downside? I should say, when we're talking about your mom.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, kind of.

[Mark Titus]

There's no big perks.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, exactly. I. I know you and that's why. Yeah. You're very smart. You're a very smart guy. That's why. You know, having fun. When. When you ask me, it's Friday.

[Mark Titus]

There's nobody else here.

[Connor Griffin]

There's literally nobody here.

[Mark Titus]

Because I got the bottom of the barrel.

[Connor Griffin]

No, no.

[Mark Titus]

You'd been my first choice. Thank you. A wonton could come in.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Spread right now, though.

[Connor Griffin]

But yeah, as soon as.

[Mark Titus]

When he's done getting spread.

[Connor Griffin]

As soon as you asked me to come on. And specifically the fact that it was you.

[Mark Titus]

Well, no, I like working with you. You're very easy to work with.

[Connor Griffin]

I love working with you. There we go. But I also know that. Yeah. Sometimes I.

[KB]

It's.

[Connor Griffin]

I can't anticipate what you're about to do now.

[Mark Titus]

It's 150 on a Friday. This had to.

[Connor Griffin]

Just, just.

[Mark Titus]

We need to get to the finish line.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. True, true, true, true, true.

[Mark Titus]

How can we finish?

[Connor Griffin]

Let's do it. Do we got an ad? Do we. Do we have an ad? We got American home shield. Can we do this? Tj? That's the last one. All right, cool. From breathtaking buzzer beaters to jaw dropping. Oh, yeah. Is full of ups and downs. But don't let unexpected appliance and home system breakdowns add to the emotional roller coaster. Seriously, nothing kills the vibe faster than watching your bracket implode or having your AC unit do the same.

[Mark Titus]

It doesn't say busted.

[Connor Griffin]

Thank goodness. Does not thank goodness. AHS steps in like the ultimate bench player for covered home system and appliance issues. Things like your ac, plumbing, electrical and refrigerator are bound to Break down. And without a home warranty, you'd have to go one on one with those expensive repairs.

AHS will repair the covered item, and if they can't repair it, they'll replace it. Homeowners insurance is a good start, but it's not the whole game plan.

[Mark Titus]

I was laughing about something else.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah, definitely not the. The language in the. In the ad copy.

[Kyle]

She's not watching right now because I. I have something else I'd like to say.

[Connor Griffin]

What do you got to say, Mark?

[Mark Titus]

Just don't listen. Take your headphones off.

[Connor Griffin]

Okay.

[Kyle]

I'm just messing with you. We can move on. We can move on.

[Connor Griffin]

Oh, yeah, man. It's almost the end of the show. We can move on.

[Kyle]

What's Chef Donnie up to? Because I'm getting sent all sorts of various insane things.

[Mark Titus]

He is so in his element.

[Kyle]

He is capturing snakes. He is just posing, holding guns. Meanwhile, the clav guy.

[Connor Griffin]

Yes.

[Kyle]

Clav.

[Mark Titus]

Clavicular. Clavicular. Kill the gator.

[Kyle]

Killed a gator. Right as Donnie is.

[Connor Griffin]

It might have already been dead.

[Kyle]

Oh, it was already dead.

[Connor Griffin]

ClA might have shot. I. I don't know the full story.

[Kyle]

Right. As Donnie's posting with gators. With gators and guns in his hand.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Is that interesting?

[Mark Titus]

It is, yeah. Is he. Next up.

[Kyle]

Donnie's insane. He's actually insane.

[KB]

He's insane.

[Mark Titus]

He's saw the.

[Kyle]

You saw the snake video? Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Just grabbing it.

[KB]

I saw the picture. I didn't see the video out of the woods.

[Mark Titus]

He was, like, doing donuts on, like, one of those fan boats.

[Kyle]

Look at this.

[KB]

Oh, hell, no.

[Connor Griffin]

The dogs. This is wild. Is he with Sydney? Yeah.

[Kyle]

Like, he doesn't have experience doing this.

[Connor Griffin]

Right.

[Kyle]

He's just. It's just like, it. I'll Just go grab the snake or grow up. I think you just wrangling. Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

This is not something he's experienced with whatsoever.

[Connor Griffin]

Got you, son. It's crazy. What are the dogs? Are they trained to help snuff them out? What are they?

[Mark Titus]

I think the pythons are pretty invasive down there.

[Connor Griffin]

Okay.

[Mark Titus]

So you're meant to go get them.

[Shay]

Connor, we're really holding back with all this wrangling snakes talk.

[Kyle]

Yeah. Speaking of wrangling snakes.

[Connor Griffin]

Get it. You cut it out, dude. Just take a load off.

[Shay]

Grab a meat stick.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Into like a. Something totally different.

[Shay]

Come on.

[Mark Titus]

What's on your mind, Titus? Because you're gonna go into the weekend.

[Kyle]

Yeah, yeah, I'll just. I mean, she's not watching. Because you've only seen a picture. You haven't seen her walk away.

[Mark Titus]

No, I'd love to. I'd love a gift.

[Kyle]

Yeah, that's what I'd love, a gift. And that's what I would like to point out.

[Mark Titus]

I've seen a gif of your mom.

[Connor Griffin]

Mom.

[KB]

She's trending on gly.

[Connor Griffin]

On tenor search gifts.

[Kyle]

You think your mom would watch Beach House?

[Connor Griffin]

God, no chance.

[Kyle]

No, because you would tell her not to or because she just would not see her son in that life.

[Mark Titus]

A pretty supportive, proud mom of you.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Shay]

She just not go on the Internet?

[Connor Griffin]

No, I think they're. No, she'll go on the element, but it's mainly just like, Facebook. She's not on really, like, anything like, oh, I'm gonna go on TikTok and see. No, she's not doing anything like that. She's definitely not on Twitter. But I think it's an element of, like, I took a very different path of getting here. Not an extremely different path, but in the sense that when I first started, I was so far away from the typical barstool world, necessarily. Like, I was. Was very professional journalism, and I'm going to be a reporter, and I'm going to be doing all this type of stuff. And then further along as I got into college, and then obviously out of college, I strayed very far from that and wound up at this place. And, yeah, it's not necessarily what you would have expected. And that's why I think partially with Wake Up Barstool, where it is traditional linear television and it's more PC, it's easier to explain. Yeah, it's easier to explain. Whereas, yeah, the. The other stuff that I do is not easy to explain, and it's definitely out of the realm of what she thought I would have been doing. For a career, if that makes sense.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

So, yeah, she. She's not super hip to.

[Shay]

At least he didn't end up like a janitor.

[Connor Griffin]

It's true. It's true. That's. That's another thing.

[Shay]

She.

[Connor Griffin]

I don't think she knows anything about that.

[Shay]

About the Bonnie Blue.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Shay]

Nothing's janitor.

[Mark Titus]

No, not yet.

[Connor Griffin]

You know, see, yeah. I'm sure Mark will probably text her later and, you know, do whatever. Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

A parents weekend here would be a blast.

[Connor Griffin]

Parents weekend would be fun.

[Mark Titus]

Would be very fun. Content.

[Kyle]

You've been around my mom more than I've been around yours, correct? Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Yes.

[Kyle]

So you're.

[Mark Titus]

It's mom debt.

[Connor Griffin]

And I've been extremely respectful every single time.

[Kyle]

It's a matter of opinion.

[Connor Griffin]

That's.

[Kyle]

No, it's a matter of opinion.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. Yeah. I get along very nicely with both your parents and specifically. Yeah, your mom. Mom.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

But your dad and I also went to a football game together and had a blast. And at your wedding.

[Kyle]

See, this is what I'm saying.

[Mark Titus]

Keep. Keeps piling on.

[Kyle]

Like, I don't. I don't cross any lines with your mom. I just. So mine. Mine is just all up here. Yours is like, you're actually.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah. One of my favorite parts. Not to get sappy or anything. One of my.

[Mark Titus]

What part?

[Connor Griffin]

Stop. One of my. One of my favorite parts about working here is the relationship that I form with Mark and the fact that there is very much an age gap between us.

[Mark Titus]

Jesus.

[Connor Griffin]

Like, a big age. But, like, I've been to his house, like, probably more than anybody that the.

[Kyle]

Your top five just in the world.

[Connor Griffin]

Probably. Yeah. Yeah. And I. I've, you know, obviously gotten to know his family, and his wedding was a. Awesome night, and I got to go to that. Which was. I was super grateful for technically, we were the bachelor party for you.

[Kyle]

That's right.

[Connor Griffin]

Which. Yeah, I. I just. I love the fact that I've gotten to. To get to know the Titus family a little bit and be integrated into his whole. His whole scene. And it's always great to get a text from Mark, like, hey, rally the boys together, you know, once every six months. He's like, let's just go to the bars or something like that. It's fun.

[Shay]

It's good that a big gap didn't get in the way of anything.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[KB]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

I can't say anything on this show without you guys. Yeah. Twisting it and turning into something. We got. We got the wheel. It's 156. Che, you got anything?

[Mark Titus]

All you guys want to do is twist it.

[Connor Griffin]

You got anything? I know you've been very, you've been very quiet. I know, I know you got, I know you got some thoughts if you want to get them out.

[KB]

Yep.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

Something to do. What's a, what's a profound question that's been lingering on your mind, Shay?

[Shay]

If not, just spin it and see if we get wet.

[Danny]

Yeah. Well, let's get the wheel started. Connor, your mom has some giant tits.

[Connor Griffin]

Just. That was just not even beating around the bush. That was. Stop, dude, stop, stop, stop.

[Kyle]

Dude.

[Connor Griffin]

What?

[Mark Titus]

What are you doing?

[Kyle]

Come on.

[Connor Griffin]

I, I, I love tell you right bush. I love tell you right bush.

[Danny]

[Connor Griffin]

Really good. I think they're queuing up for a game.

[KB]

Let's go, bush.

[Connor Griffin]

We'll kick.

[Mark Titus]

Yes there.

[Connor Griffin]

Cool.

[KB]

Take them over

[Mark Titus]

Yeah, I think so.

[Connor Griffin]

I, I look forward. Oh, go ahead. Did you. Isn't Brandon out on Monday? Didn't he say that? Is he?

[Danny]

I don't know.

[Kyle]

He might be.

[Connor Griffin]

Okay.

[Kyle]

So at some point next week everybody will be back.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Shay]

Yeah.

[Connor Griffin]

I look forward to just watching and, and not, not, not being, I mean,

[Mark Titus]

[Connor Griffin]

Not being this rotation.

[Mark Titus]

You were phenomenal. You filled in seamlessly.

[Connor Griffin]

Okay. Okay. Thank you guys for having me. I appreciate it.

[Kyle]

Are you into the show right now?

[Connor Griffin]

Huh?

[Kyle]

Are you ending the show?

[Connor Griffin]

I would know. I was going to leave before anybody. You could keep it going. I'm leaving before anybody else says anything because I know you already. I could see your face. You are. You already have something. You already have something loading up. But anyway, guys, I'm leaving. Thank you guys for having me. I love this show. Love everybody watching and it's a blast. So thank you.

[Kyle]

I guess that's it for all of us.

[Connor Griffin]

Yeah.

[Mark Titus]

Have a good weekend, everybody.

[Connor Griffin]

I'm not saying anything else. That's baseball, baby. Go watch the bush and then watch the streams tonight. Let's go, Bama. Love you guys.

[KB]

Bye.
