Francis
Hey, guys, it's Francis. Look, life moves fast. Dating is a tough thing to find time for and to be intentional about. At least so I thought until I found the league. I've found that the people I've met on the league are people I really have a lot more in common with than the people you typically find when you're just aimlessly swiping and scrolling on other dating apps instead of endless searching. I get a curated batch of profiles each day. There's less noise, less back and forth, less flakiness. These are just people I'd actually want to meet, have a conversation with, have a meal with, spend real time with. Create that meaningful connection. Join me on the league, download the app, and apply today.
Brandon
Hello, it's yak sellbluecoffee.com.
Danny
hell, yeah.
Brandon
Now, ready? Drink cans, cold brew, everything. So, bluecoffee.com. where's Nick?
Danny
I don't know.
Brandon
Where's that guy?
Cliff Barackman
Nick?
Danny
I'm right. I'm here. Danny's here.
Kyle
He's a teledoctor appointment.
Danny
What?
Titus
What's he telling doctor? Your symptoms?
Brandon
Telling a doctor who's gay?
Kyle
No, it's over the telephone.
Brandon
Oh, I guess that would probably make more sense than what we signed up for.
Kyle
Some service. He gave blood. And they're gonna tell him, like, the approximate date and year he's gonna die.
Kate
Yeah, I saw him naked in the phone booth. I was curious.
Danny
I wouldn't. I don't want to know when I'm gonna die. I'd like to be surprised. Spoilers. Nothing.
Francis
Definitely want to know.
Kyle
20. No, 20. 2097. And each year will get progressively worse. But you'll get hornier.
Brandon
I would not. Steven, you're crazy to want to know. When you die, you can live your
Francis
life to the absolute maximum. If I knew I was gonna die next week, then I'd be like, all
Titus
right, I'm gonna go skydiving.
Brandon
Wait, what did you throw at him?
Danny
Did you throw that like he's a dog?
Nick
No, I just thought.
Brandon
Do you think that you have son is here?
Danny
Do you think that's a golden.
Brandon
Not only that, but you threw the thing we threw. Mikey. The Mikey.
Danny
Why did you throw that to that kid?
Brandon
That was crazy.
Kate
That was over the hand throw too.
Danny
That wasn't like he was going to fetch it.
Nick
Wait, timeout, okay? Chase. Kid was in here yesterday and he was playing with them. He was like having a great time with them.
Brandon
Oh, no.
Danny
With his hands.
Brandon
With his hands. Oh, look, he's coming back to fetch.
Nick
I know. He's getting it. Okay.
Brandon
Oh, Nick's gonna get it. Nick steal it from him.
Nick
I thought this is something fun a kid would like. And when my kids are here, they like to find the fun. Little goofy.
Danny
No, don't.
Nick
Here. He's the cutest.
Brandon
He is very cute. And a great, great Spider man pajamas.
Nick
If I was a kid, I know what kids that age are into and I think they'll have fun with it.
Danny
But you threw it past him like he was gonna go.
Nick
He wasn't gonna come in here. Oh, no, no, he can have it.
Brandon
Oh, throw it back. Yeah, yeah, Throw it back, throw it back. Throw it back, throw it back, throw it back.
Titus
Yeah.
Nick
Great throw.
Brandon
Ready? We're not playing fetch with the boy.
Nick
No.
Kyle
Ready, Sit. Set.
Danny
I think he is ready. That was a terrible throw.
Brandon
Throw it back, throw it back, throw it back.
Nick
Here it goes.
Brandon Walker
Good toss.
Nick
You are super strong.
Danny
Go get it. Fetch.
Brandon
That was legit.
Brandon Walker
Fetch.
Nick
Is.
Brandon Walker
Is it morally wrong to play fetch with your child?
Brandon
No. It doesn't matter. No, Kate just did it. Like, didn't say anything to him. Just saw him walking by.
Titus
Oh, wow.
Brandon
He just saw him walking by and just threw that. Bye. Bye.
Brandon Walker
Just chucked it at him.
Danny
Good throws.
Nick
No, I just. I didn't think that was gonna be on camera or anything. I just was like, hey, kid. I think he would have enjoyed it. So I tossed it.
Brandon Walker
Brandon, you gotta have another.
Danny
I know.
Brandon
He's so cute. So he was like. He said he introduced himself as T. Bob. And T. Bob was like, no, you're not. You're Bob.
Brandon Walker
You're just Bob.
Brandon
Yeah, the T is silent. Yeah. But wait. So, Steven, you're. You're wrong on this take.
Danny
You want to know the day and time you're going to die?
Francis
Here's the option. Yes.
Brandon
Here's the thing. Everyone wants to act tough. And I'm. I Do this from time to time, too.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
Except for all the animals I could be.
Danny
You say you could beat up coyote?
Brandon
I definitely could. Saw Mikey Betts video. Definitely could. Everyone who's like, oh, I want to know when I'm gonna die. If I was gonna die next week, I'd go so hard. No, you wouldn't. It. If you. If, if, if. If someone could tell you definitively that you're going to die next Tuesday, you know what you do? You'd be in a puddle.
Brandon Walker
I would kill myself.
Brandon
So sad. And just like. Just like you wouldn't do anything crazy. You just spend as much time as you could with your wife and kids for those last four days. That would be so sad.
Brandon Walker
Even if it was 60 years, you would be counting down those seconds.
Brandon
Yeah, but everyone's like, oh, yeah, I'd go jump out of an airplane and try. No, you wouldn't. It would just be the most tragic, terrible thing Now.
Francis
I think it's more tragic if you don't know. Everyone's surprised. Like, you'd make sure everything's set up. You know, funeral arrangements are super annoying. I'd want to get like, those things.
Brandon Walker
It would ruin your life, Steve.
Brandon
So you want to spend the last
Danny
few days doing paperwork, do your own arrangements.
Francis
You make it easier for everybody.
Danny
You'd use your time to do. To do paperwork. Like you just said.
Nick
I would probably do that too. I'd want my funeral. I'd like, plan it out.
Titus
Yeah.
Francis
Sucks you don't want to leave your.
Danny
But here's a. Here's a thought, Steven. If you. If you found out you're gonna die in two years, so you spent the next two years skydiving and rocky mountain climbing and all that. Why don't you just live like that anyway?
Francis
Because you.
Brandon Walker
That's the moral of the story, right?
Danny
Just. Just live like new.
Francis
Then I would just.
Brandon Walker
But you are going to die recklessly. You might not.
Francis
Bunch of shit.
Kyle
Drive reckless.
Titus
Well, other people could die.
Cliff Barackman
Yeah.
Francis
If I knew I was gonna die next week, I might rob a bank.
Cliff Barackman
Oh, no.
Brandon
If I knew I was gonna die next week, I would. I wouldn't tell a single soul. And then I would just drop, like, the eeriest things to. Of you personally.
Danny
You. You'd leave gambling pics.
Brandon
No, like, Tuesday, if I. If they're like, hey, you're going to die Tuesday, I would just. Like, on Monday, I'd walk up to Kyle and just be like. Just so you know, like, all I ever wanted was for us to be together and then walk away and have that be the last thing I ever say to you.
Brandon Walker
I'd use it to torment Kate.
Kyle
I have a burner substack account where I kind of touch on that. Yeah, the thing you mentioned.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah. Just imagine just walking up to everyone and just leaving them with something that will just rattle their brain for the rest of life.
Nick
You know, it'd be cool to pick up. Pick a beef with somebody you really can't stand to the point where they lash out publicly.
Brandon
Yeah.
Nick
And you know you're gonna die.
Danny
Yeah, you're right. Make them look bad.
Nick
That would feel good.
Brandon
Yeah.
Danny
I don't know.
Brandon
If Ken Rosenthal died right now.
Brandon Walker
Oh, yeah.
Nick
You'd be in trouble.
Danny
Well, you're in it, huh?
Brandon
Not really.
Brandon Walker
Yeah.
Danny
You just threw the bomb out, and it's.
Brandon
It's the most. No, it's. It's. Well, first of all.
Danny
But, like, real media guys are acting like you're just the.
Brandon
You.
Danny
You. You said the. You went at Christ or something.
Brandon
I haven't seen any of it.
Danny
Okay.
Titus
I say he's short.
Brandon Walker
No, that's Kyle, your least favorite thing, people. He did something annoying.
Kyle
Short does something bad, and then it's like, he's tiny.
Cliff Barackman
You know what?
Brandon
I came, and we'll go back to Ken Roosevelt, but I came to the realization last night that Judge has it in reverse. Judge struck out three times. Judge was trash in the wbc. Every time Judge has a big moment, strikes out. I'm like, that guy is way too
Danny
tall, too big to fail.
Kyle
So you're saying, like, when he fails.
Brandon
Yes, he. When he fails, I'm like, that he is too tall. And that is a joke that a behemoth of that man cannot do anything right.
Kyle
He should be succeeding.
Brandon
Right.
Kyle
Kyler Murray gets it, like, the real unfair way when he succeeds. And you're like, how's he doing when he does poorly? It's. Oh, he sucks. And he's a. It's not.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
But Aaron Judge has, like, the waste of everything. Like, he. Wait, he wasted all his height.
Kyle
It seems like he's been doing fine
Brandon
for himself all these big moments. Anyway, Ken Rosal. It was Britain. We do so many. Everyone in this room knows this. We do so many programs. So much live stuff. So much. Like, we're in front of a mic so much of the week. Sunday night is midnight. We've just gone through the bracket. WBC ends. He pops up on the screen. I'm just like, oh, fuck that guy. I don't like him. And never in a million years did I think it would be like, an actual story.
Titus
That's all. You said it.
Brandon
Well, I was like, get him out. Like, I don't want him on in baseball anymore. And then. And then it just became like. It wasn't like a well thought out takedown. It was. It was a complete knee jerk. I fucking don't like that guy. And then awful announcing, I think, blog,
Brandon Walker
like, six times yesterday about this.
Brandon
Yeah. They just kept on scrolling so that
Brandon Walker
somebody calls him short.
Brandon
Yeah. Then. Then a bunch of people were like, he's so. I don't understand where it's coming from.
Brandon Walker
Oh, weird.
Danny
Didn't everybody return on him after the Brewers?
Brandon
Yeah.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
Then I had people texting me, being like, you got it wrong on Ken. I was like, all right, my bad. I really didn't think it was a big deal, but it became a big deal. But anyway, I. I changed when people got mad about the Netflix move for pmt. I changed my Twitter settings. So I don't. I see, like, 10% of my mentions now.
Danny
Okay. Oh, cool.
Cliff Barackman
It's a great line.
Brandon
Wonderful, wonderful. I just don't. I see. It's. It's a setting that you can change where you just see the people you often interact with and people you follow.
Danny
Okay.
Brandon
So, like, if I. If someone I've replied to, I'll see them, but for the most part, you don't see anything. It's great. I just live my life, Brandy.
Brandon Walker
You should do that.
Cliff Barackman
It's.
Danny
It's.
Brandon
Brandon, it's awesome.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
Like, I didn't know that I have to do. I didn't know this. This was a big deal until I went home on Monday, and my. Or maybe it was yesterday. My wife was like, hey, what's going on with you and Ken Rosenthal? I was like, what do you mean?
Kyle
It got to her?
Brandon
Yeah, it broke containment. But I didn't even see it.
Danny
Oh, okay.
Brandon
So it has not bothered me at all. And maybe I was wrong. He can stay in baseball. I do think he's a jerk, but I don't care.
Danny
Did. Has. Has Fox anything?
Brandon
No, I kind of forgot that he worked. That was the other part of the knee jerk.
Danny
Huh?
Brandon
Someone, like, someone pointed out, they're like, he's technically kind of a co worker. Like, oh, fuck, you're right. My bad.
Francis
Same.
Brandon
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Have you guys ever crossed paths?
Brandon
No. Well, one time.
Danny
Well, how did that go? Oh, I told the story.
Brandon
I don't want to. I don't want to keep the. Ken. Awful announcing, just watching everything and just aggregating everything.
Danny
Oh, I got it. Hey, awful announcing. Don't aggregate that, by the way.
Brandon
You guys agree, though? Like, if they. If. If you took everything you said and they made an article of it, like, everything would be a story.
Brandon Walker
Worst guy of all time.
Brandon
Yeah, we're. You can't. You can't take everything out of con. Like.
Danny
Yeah.
Kyle
Off of women.
Kate
Whips toy at a child.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
I can't wait to see KB in the thumbnail of this next vlog.
Brandon
I don't want to tell the story because it's a. It's a story that will make my friend Kyle upset.
Danny
That's fine. Don't tell a story.
Brandon Walker
Did you not see him because he was so tiny?
Brandon
I saw him on an airplane.
Brandon Walker
Was he kicking his feet?
Cliff Barackman
Yeah.
Nick
Did he dangle?
Brandon
When the seat belt light came off and we had landed and taxied, he made the quickest move to stand up on his seat to get his overhead. Oh, good move. He did it fast. It was athletic. Sorry, Kyle.
Titus
Oh, man.
Danny
Oh, sorry out there to Ivo and Dave.
Brandon
It's not a big deal. It was a very athletic move.
Titus
And it was quick. You said it was quick.
Danny
It was so quick.
Brandon
So quick.
Danny
So he was showing off his lateral. His quickness, his burst.
Brandon
Incredible fast twitch muscle.
Brandon Walker
Was it adorable?
Cliff Barackman
Slightly, Yeah.
Brandon
I did reach out an olive branch to. On today's pmt. I didn't realize that he does his bow ties for als. I've had a family member die from als, so if Ken Rosenthal wants to ever bond over horrific diseases, I'm in.
Brandon Walker
All right, that's good. Yeah, you extended that.
Brandon
We're ready to go.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
So I think that's the only thing that you guys can get along on.
Brandon
Just have a conversation about how horrific als.
Titus
Yeah.
Danny
Can't talk about the Cubs, but can talk about.
Brandon
Yeah, we'll do that.
Titus
Talk disease.
Brandon
Yeah. So I don't actually hate him. It was very. What I thought was a nothing comment that just became. Yeah, a huge deal. It's kind of like the Taylor Swift.
Titus
I did think that people. I'm surprised. I thought people did turn on him after the Brewer.
Brandon
Well, I mean, the Bruce thing was a bad look.
Titus
It was terrible.
Connor Burns
Terrible.
Titus
So I would have assumed that now is the kind of the window to take shots at Ken Rosenthal. Yeah, apparently not.
Brandon
Yeah, I guess not. Good for him. If anything, he should actually thank me for getting everyone to say how awesome he is. Like, that was a cool move by me.
Nick
Yeah. He got to see he has a support.
Brandon
Correct network.
Nick
That wouldn't have happened.
Brandon
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
This is crazy.
Brandon
That, that.
Kyle
What is this?
Brandon
This is from last year.
Titus
Yeah. Look at.
Brandon
And that. That is bad. But it's the. It's the other one.
Danny
It's this one.
Brandon
Look back and she had the hand.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
Like, come on.
Titus
This guy.
Brandon
Was that second.
Danny
Was that not a brief apartment?
Kyle
This is why people.
Brandon Walker
Was that. Yeah, that could be.
Nick
Oh.
Brandon
Oh, that's. You see that?
Danny
The hands facing down. That's an apology.
Brandon
Yeah. This like how the. The guy just got up as you.
Titus
Down is my bad.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh. Are you okay?
Danny
What the.
Titus
This guy.
Brandon
How could you be there?
Danny
I thought the hand was down.
Brandon
No, the hand was very much up.
Francis
Wow.
Titus
Yeah.
Kate
And the head shake.
Titus
What. Dare you.
Brandon Walker
Oh, yeah.
Titus
I was about to ask this player how this moment feels and he took that from me.
Deutsch
Wow.
Kate
People are defending his mind, but he
Brandon
can stay in baseball. Cuz I think one of my things I said was get him out of baseball.
Danny
Oh, but you're allowing him to be in baseball.
Brandon
Yeah, I'm cool with it. I'm going to walk that part back.
Kyle
Okay.
Brandon Walker
He's in baseball.
Brandon
Oh, it's so funny. But yeah, it's. It's like maybe five years ago I'd be bought. I'd be like, oh my God, what'd I do? What is. Yeah, we got the tournament. Come on, we're moving on.
Titus
Tournament. Which is a good remind. I was. I didn't even think about that. Venezuela doesn't have a tournament.
Brandon
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Oh, that's so awesome.
Brandon
They're not allowed to watch.
Titus
Yeah. That feels good to know.
Brandon
Did they? I did. I wasn't obviously rooting for Venezuela, but it does mean so much more to them.
Danny
Yeah. I'm jealous of how they feel.
Brandon
You see that video? The guy.
Danny
Oh, yeah. On the street. So I didn't see that video. I saw a lot of videos of just them. The post game interviews were incredible.
Brandon
There's a guy on the street watching like on the oldest television ever in Venezuela and like living and dying with it.
Kyle
And that's what they.
Brandon
We've got the tournament and they had
Danny
an abundance of hot women in the crowd.
Brandon
Oh, yeah.
Kyle
Is it because their situation is so economically and politically calamitous that we like kind of aren't upset and we're happy for them.
Danny
But even like Dominican Republic when we
Kyle
play, devastated that the U.S. yeah.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kyle
Country with, you know, 10 times the population, who now has children devoting their life to baseball, travel and special clinics.
Danny
Yeah. As part of our training coming up
Kyle
as kids and we still lose. Then we blame it on Our lack of cohesion and like, does that help when you're trying to hit a 95 mile per hour?
Danny
I think there's a, There's a certain doing your job.
Brandon
Yeah. Look at this. Like, come on. That's incredible. That's insane. That's so good.
Brandon Walker
Also over baseball. That's an American cultural thing. That's a cultural victory for us that it's so huge everywhere else.
Brandon
Right. But like I was, I was watching the game last night with the split screen.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
With NC State, Texas. That guy. I can't compete with that guy. Kyle.
Danny
The cohesiveness is if we send nine guys up there and they're trying to hit a home run every single time, they don't string singles together and they don't string singles and double. Like we strung nothing together throughout two days.
Kyle
You can go up there and Launch angle.
Brandon
Yeah, launch angle ruined baseball.
Kyle
Okay.
Danny
There's no. There was. We never put anything together. We never had the. This guy get a hit followed by this guy getting hit, followed by this guy getting hit. We manufactured nothing.
Kyle
Can you control that with passion or
Danny
you can control it by, by, by buying style too.
Brandon
Like, it was actually reminiscent Titus of the. Of game five in Milwaukee. Watching last night where it's like, just get a couple guys on base and we just couldn't do it.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
We're just.
Cliff Barackman
Home run.
Titus
Everyone wants to be the hero.
Deutsch
Yeah.
Danny
But I, I really do look at Dominican Republic and Venezuela and those teams that were playing how much. How fucking happy they looked.
Connor Burns
Right.
Danny
Playing it. And that went over to the fans. I was jealous about how they felt when they won and not. Not in the sense that we're a loser. I was just like, that looks fucking awesome.
Brandon
Yeah.
Cliff Barackman
But there's.
Brandon
It is. It is like Canada is like a peer. So when we beat Canada it's like, haha.
Kate
Yeah.
Brandon
Like even France in the gold medal game.
Kyle
It's because they're a third world country mostly.
Brandon
Probably.
Danny
Yeah.
Kyle
Which is comforting to know that it's like there is a genetic aspect and you don't have to send your kids to travel. Definitely just adopt a Caribbean boy.
Brandon Walker
Simple as that.
Kyle
I think they're just genetically better. I don't know if that's racist.
Danny
Mm.
Brandon Walker
Brandon, you should try to blindside. You said your wife was interested in.
Danny
She's. She's wanting to adopt. Yeah. We had a. We got a fresh batch of checking the male babies last week. Yeah. I could get me a left tackle baseball player.
Brandon
I mean, you're not going to adopt unless they start having like babies at Steven Jim's.
Danny
It's first of all. And you. And see, this is why you're full of. You know.
Titus
Oh my God, what if someone snuck a baby on the shelf?
Brandon
You didn't have to have it.
Danny
Oh, stop.
Brandon
Brandon's like, oh my God, I need this.
Titus
I have to. By the.
Brandon
It would go perfect next to my dream team poster.
Kyle
I was like, what gym is he going to?
Nick
What autograph on a baby's head would
Kyle
make you your gym?
Danny
If I get like Julio Franco baby. And you know, cuz we talked about it before the show. It's Jim and Steve's and you know that it's Jim and Steve's in Wagan. It's not Steve and Jim.
Kyle
You go to the gym and what else after.
Danny
No, I go to Jim and Steve's Wakean. That's where I get my stuff.
Brandon
Steve's a burger shop. Jim and Steve.
Kyle
This dude goes to gyms all the time.
Brandon
Yeah, you should just start saying that. I'm going to the gym.
Danny
I'm going to the gym today.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah, of course you are. So we got to get a baby there. He's flipping. Remember the old posters at like.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, the Spencer gifts?
Brandon
Yeah, he's flipping through babies. All right.
Brandon Walker
Not bad.
Brandon
Oh, someone's wearing an old school Vancouver grizzlies jersey.
Brandon Walker
Oh, that'll be enough for you.
Kate
That would be enough for you.
Brandon
Comes in a cup, baby in a cup.
Danny
Steve, how much you got on this baby?
Titus
Bobblehead, baby.
Danny
I haggle.
Titus
Pick it up and shake it. Gotta have that.
Brandon
By the way, are you guys aware of what's going on on the court right now?
Danny
I saw you talking about Deutsch. Yeah, Deutsch is working on a project.
Brandon
He's building his bracket. His beer's bracket. There he is.
Kyle
Yeah, he is working.
Brandon
He's working. He's not. Can I build that beer bracket? I was like, sure, dude.
Danny
Oh, he's going to lay them on their sides.
Brandon Walker
Oh, those are the shells.
Danny
Oh, yeah, I guess he is.
Nick
Oh,
Brandon
that's smart.
Brandon Walker
This is. You're watching a man achieve his dream.
Brandon
This is. Yeah, this is it.
Titus
He.
Brandon
This is Oppenheimer and the bomb.
Danny
But does that. Does that.
Brandon Walker
This is his nirvana.
Brandon
Oh no.
Brandon Walker
Did it break?
Brandon
Oh,
Brandon Walker
oh no.
Nick
That might be a.
Danny
Might have to fix some sort of.
Brandon
I told him, I was like, can you start doing this during the actor so we can watch the progress now
Brandon Walker
did he not think to put the
Brandon
beers vertically where they're designed to give it a test?
Brandon Walker
Well, he put the Are the.
Kyle
The.
Brandon Walker
I don't know, because the shelf. They're individual shelves.
Danny
But he doesn't have room there.
Titus
Right.
Brandon
They also.
Danny
No, that's not vertical.
Brandon
I also don't really know what. What did he.
Brandon Walker
What's the difference between this and a bracket?
Brandon
Is he drinking 16 beers tomorrow?
Brandon Walker
He must be.
Kate
I think we just have to have to watch him do it first, then we'll understand more.
Danny
That's rolling off again, right? Yeah.
Kate
Gravity wins every time.
Brandon
Mad science.
Titus
Yeah.
Cliff Barackman
I don't.
Titus
I don't get the idea either.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
I feel like tomorrow and Friday is interesting in the sense that he'll drink 16 beer.
Brandon
Yeah. Championship.
Titus
But then it's just like things.
Brandon
You have, like, two beers.
Kyle
We know what we're gonna get out of it.
Brandon Walker
The viewership drop off is going to be, oh, Deutsch is about to have one beer. Oh, is it the championship? And then what's he do with the Champion beer?
Titus
But he doesn't have the beer until the game's over. Tune in the national championship. Watch me watch the game. And once it ends, I will drink one beer.
Kyle
Yeah.
Titus
It feels a little backwards. You should drink one tomorrow. Like, 16 on champion.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, but can't do it that way.
Titus
He's. He's the beer guy. I'll let him flush it out.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
Flesh out his idea. We'll have to see it.
Brandon
By the way, T. Bob just gave me an update. His son wouldn't walk away. Said, I'm not a puppy. I'm Bobby.
Nick
No, wait, for real?
Brandon
Yeah.
Danny
Yeah. And Tate, you. You did that? You treated him like a puppy.
Nick
I thought he would think the toy was cool. He was looking in here, and I was like, oh, is he looking?
Kate
You literally said, fetch wave to awful announcement.
Kyle

Kyle
Irreversible damage to his identity. And he probably said, like, I'm not a puppy.
Brandon
Maybe. I know.
Danny
It might have had a question mark on it.
Brandon
Probably.
Danny
I'm not a puppy. Right, Daddy?

Nick
Do you guys see that meteor?
Brandon
Yes. So loud in Ohio.
Kyle
You see there's iron was loud.
Nick
It was a sonic boom. It was rock.
Brandon Walker
And now a bunch of people are rushing to Ohio to try to get pieces of it because it's valuable.
Nick
Can we send somebody to find it? 22 pounds of this thing.
Brandon
I mean, we could send someone a big boom. He's in the middle of building a beer. Brass.
Danny
That's right.
Brandon Walker
Oh, yeah.
Danny
So I mean, it's just awful right now.

You can see it going over Pittsburgh.
Danny
Lorain County, I believe.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, that's where they're seeing them.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
Many Ohioans and some Pennsylvanians this morning was actually caused by a meteor. It's one of the stories that we're
Kyle
tracking for you this hour.
Brandon
Videos taken by eyewitnesses show the bright shooting star streaking across the sky, including this one captured by one startled driver's dash cam camera.
Cliff Barackman
Oh.
Titus
What the was that?
Danny
I was okay.
Brandon
Says the meteor was traveling about 40, 000 miles per hour, which he added is fast for a human but slow for a meteor.
Danny
Oh.
Kyle
Oh, it's pretty slow. Yeah.
Titus
Slow meter. I could. I could take that meter yard.
Brandon Walker
That's a slow ass.
Titus
Me square that meter up.
Nick
Yeah, you could probably hit that with a Baseball bat.
Brandon
Yeah. Aaron Judge wouldn't.
Kyle
Pretty cool.
Danny
It's not gonna get the sound this.
Nick
There is video of the sonic boom somewhere out there. When it broke through, it like shook things. It was like such a crazy loud.
Titus
But I would like landed in Ohio.
Nick
Yes.
Titus
A 22 pound chunk of it did it up.
Nick
I don't know.
Titus

Nick
Okay, this better rule are gonna feel silly. Come on.
Kyle

Nick
Wait, why Ohio?
Kate
Gotta ask Bigfoot.
Brandon

Okay. This is gonna blow everyone away.
Danny
Oh, good boom.
Brandon

Nick
Right?
Danny
Damn good boom.
Brandon
That's a really good boom.
Brandon Walker
And it's still going.
Danny
Birds. Shut the up.
Brandon Walker
That would scare me.
Nick
Look, it did change the bird pattern.
Danny
Yeah. Those birds ain't got nothing to say.
Nick
That's a big band. Thank you. Freedom enthusiast. Yeah.
Danny
And Bigfoot. This is Ohio.
Kate
Listen, this is like the closest will ever be to finding Bigfoot. It's now or never. They should be sending in like SEAL team six.
Danny
This was a. A lot. So Ohio. Is it just one like group of frat bros in a big suit or.
Titus
I don't know.
Kate
What gets me is like the whole. People say they've been with their dogs and their dogs are used to seeing bears. But then for the first time ever, the dog is trembling and like for. For like the next 20 minutes they're used to seeing banners and it Portage County.
Danny
Sorry.
Kate
I think people. People are under the impression Bigfoot is some clumsy oaf just walking through the woods. But apparently very quick.
Kyle
You're speaking as if you fully believe.
Brandon
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Danny, you sound like a believer after this.
Kate
If we don't get him. Now that I'm done believing.
Brandon Walker
Well, it's like approach Dante rubbing off on you?
Kate
He's approaching. No, he doesn't even believe in this.
Danny
You want to go look for him?
Kate
Bigfoot is approaching.
Brandon
It'll find them. We just send Stephen Che with his dog. Yeah. It would 100 he come across him.
Danny
Eight foot figure with long arms. I'm not sure if that was a
Kate
ten foot hairy man or Bigfoot.
Brandon Walker
Can we book one of these guys?
Brandon
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Dylan Omni.
Brandon
Josh, if you're watching any text him Stephen or TJ.
Danny
8 foot Sasquatch.
Brandon
I would love to talk to one of these guys.
Danny
This is all right. Around the same time, face to face with a ten foot black figure.
Brandon
Stephen, can you text Josh stilt Like gate shoulder pivot or TJ Kenny, the whole torsoder.
Nick
So he stinks a little.
Danny
How close did you get to him?
Brandon
You smell.
Nick
Smell him.
Brandon
It's a viral ad.
Kyle
It's.
Brandon Walker
Is it for a movie?
Kyle
Our stunt?
Brandon
Yep.
Kyle
Is there something.
Danny
Are you saying that with certainty there's
Brandon
beef jerky coming for everyone?
Nick
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Brandon Walker
Damn, I hate that.
Danny
And we're getting. We're getting Jack beef jerky or some type of deodorant.
Titus
Yeah, that makes sense.
Brandon
It's coming.
Brandon Walker
Or a movie. Yeah, it's coming because that Smile movie had people going to games and smiling the whole game. You remember that?
Brandon
That was weird.
Kate
What were they doing for their. What was the ad campaign there?
Brandon Walker
They were just go. They were having actors go to games and just, like, sit behind the glass and smile the whole game.
Danny
I. I got got for a second a couple weeks ago by the Jeopardy.
Nick
One.
Brandon
Yeah.
Danny
I was a Gosling. It was Gosling on Jeopardy. That had the most ridiculous answer ever. And he got rewarded for it because he's in this. What's the name?
Brandon Walker
Project Hail Mary.
Danny
Project Hail Mary's threw up a Hail Mary in Final Jeopardy. And I thought it was an actual episode of Celebrity Jeopardy. And I quote, tweeted it for a second, I was like, if this happened to me, I'd burn the fucking building to the ground. And then two more replies or two replies to the original. I was like, oh, okay. Fuck, they got me.
Brandon
Were you deleted?
Danny
Oh, I delete all the time.
Brandon
Oh, yeah.
Brandon Walker
Do you?
Danny
I don't believe in Yalls rules. I delete all the time.
Kate
It's just pointless on Twitter because if you don't refresh, you're still going to see that tweet that you deleted like a half hour.
Danny
That's fine. I got it within, like, seconds.
Kate
Still doesn't matter.
Danny
Well, the alternative is me looking silly.
Brandon
Yeah, that's part of the game.
Danny
Nobody wants me looking silly.
Brandon
You got to own up when you. When you fuck up.
Brandon Walker
What level of seriousness do you want
Danny
to be taken, Big Cat? I fuck up enough that I don't need Ryan Gosling. Fuck up.
Brandon
Yeah, but like, those are. They can't bother you. Like, I had a fucking coach, a wrong report every now and then just be like, whatever happened, I had a
Danny
coach on web this morning come on and say, oh, you're the guy that had. That missed on all 12 playoff teams last year.
Brandon
You did?
Danny
Yeah, but I only missed on 11. So he's full of shit now.
Brandon Walker
He looks foolish.
Danny
I got Miami in there. What Coach, was it McNeese? McNee State.
Brandon
Sounds like he left a mark on you.
Danny
Yeah, and I'm gonna tell you his name. I'm gonna tell you his name right now. That's what I'm gonna do.
Brandon
You interviewed this man?
Danny

It's fucking gorgeous.
Brandon Walker
Wow.
Brandon
This is brand new.
Brandon Walker
That's brand. Oh.
Danny
Oh, it's gorgeous.
Brandon Walker
Oh, that looks cool.
Danny
Mr. Woodchuck would love that.
Kate
Who?
Danny
Mr. Woodchuck.
Brandon Walker
That's Dave Coulier's puppet from Full House Thornton.
Brandon
Look how sick that thing is.
Danny
Yeah, that's awesome.
Kyle
That's awesome.
Danny
Why they just build cool in Idaho.
Kyle
Everything is everything.
Brandon
Land.
Danny
They just build cool ass.
Kyle
Nothing bad happens there.
Brandon Walker
Doesn't. Isn't the Northern panhandle all Nazis?
Brandon
Yeah, yeah, correct.
Nick
But outside of that, it doesn't matter.
Danny
I mean, Idaho's. I hear that Idaho's big. Nazis only have one part of it.
Brandon Walker
Is that where Fleming's from?
Danny
I think that's where his parents move.
Brandon
Parents live there, right? Okay, yeah.
Francis
Yes.
Brandon
Montana.
Danny
Are you making the implication there's Nazi Naziism there?
Brandon Walker
No, I think he's from Beaver Fall. I thought he. Beaver Falls.
Kate
He's.
Danny
Because Boise's not Nazi, right?
Brandon
No, I'll announce and get that impression. So wait, Kyle, you still need to go to Boise. We talked about this. You and I have talked about it. You. You stuck with the Airbnb that only has two bedrooms.
Kyle
Yeah, it's right by the arena. We got guys that will sleep on the floor. We have guys that. I told her have to sleep on the floor. We have guys that'll sleep on the couch.
Brandon
So is there enough room though for
Kyle
five and a two bedroom? It'll be fine.
Brandon
But is there enough room for you guys to wrestle?
Kyle
We'll be r. I know.
Brandon
You'll be wrestling. You and the boys get together, you wrestle.
Kyle
Yeah, I'll be paying for the apartment.
Cliff Barackman
You.
Connor Burns
No, you.
Kyle
You don't understand. We will be.
Brandon
Oh, yeah, no, I understand. You'll be wrestling.
Brandon Walker
You. You were like, giddy. You said this is like the best day of your life.
Kyle
Friday is the best day in sports
Danny
because of March Madness.
Kyle
Because of the quarterfinal round and the semi final round. Nothing is better. Imagine if there was no NBA.
Brandon Walker
Okay.
Brandon
Okay, great.
Kyle
Imagine how much that's like. And then March Madness. This was the pinnacle of the sport.
Danny
Oh, I see.
Brandon
Yes, I got what you're saying.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
This is it.
Kyle
Guys were playing for their lives, are playing for their legacies.
Danny
Do they do it all this weekend?
Kyle
Yes.
Danny
It goes from here to championship this weekend.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
Okay.
Kyle
32 man brackets.
Brandon
Oh, we got a four goat situation going on. The 133. Yeah, crazy.
Kyle
Four goats in one way classes. All freshmen never heard of four goats. These boys are so good. There's nothing I want to watch more than these four 14 boys. Actually, five. You count. Larin, who's Jesus?
Brandon
When are they all going to. Are they all matched up, like, in the same. How big is the bracket for 133?
Kyle
They're all 32 man brackets.
Brandon
So four goes that the goats can meet up semifinals. Oh, so they're all one seeds.
Kyle
One, two, three, four.
Brandon
Yeah, love that.
Brandon Walker
So it. What are the odds it'll be all of them there?
Kyle
Pretty high. But anything can happen because there's other guys. The returning champion is the seven seed.
Brandon
He's not even a goat.
Kyle
Not anymore. Damn, these freshmen are so good from every position.
Brandon Walker
So wrestling's about to boom then, right?
Kyle
Yeah, it's about. Yeah. Are you guys excited?
Connor Burns
I.
Brandon
When you talked to me about the four goats, I got a little juice.
Titus
Why didn't. Why doesn't one of the goats just go up a clock?
Brandon
That's what I asked Titus.
Titus
Why doesn't he just. I realize because goats.
Kyle
Goats don't avoid and evade. That's why it's so special. It's four goats. Like, who's gonna be the real goat?
Brandon Walker
And so do the others lose goat status?
Danny
Have to.
Titus
You have to.
Kyle
They've been interchanged.
Brandon Walker
So this is bad for the sport.
Brandon
We're gonna lose three goats this weekend.
Danny
Yeah.
Titus
This is brutal.
Brandon Walker
This is horrible.
Kyle
Yeah, this is bad for the sport. I'm gonna lose so many fans. So many casual fans.
Danny
Wait, if there's four of them and one wins as a freshman, the other a sophomore, another one's a junior, another one's a senior, they could all be goats again.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
No.
Danny
I don't know.
Brandon Walker
A dude that hasn't won in three years could be a goat.
Brandon
Goat has to win multiple times.
Danny
I don't fucking know, dude.
Connor Burns
What?
Brandon
Can I get one of the goats?
Danny
How are you gonna get a goat?
Brandon
I want to. I want to ride with one of the goats.
Brandon Walker
You say the names.
Brandon
Put me on to the second best goat. I don't want the first best.
Kyle
That's the thing.
Brandon
They're all the same.
Brandon Walker
They're all the goat let.
Titus
They're all one goat.
Kyle
Jax Forest is who you're gonna want to watch.
Brandon
Jax Forest. Where does he wrestle?
Kyle
He glues men's eyes to the screen. There is nothing I want to watch more than Jax Forest, who was started as a high schooler this season, wrestled at the Power Raid at Canon Mac. The Big Macs.
Brandon
Yeah. Where does he wrestle out of.
Kyle
Then he's like, oh, I'm going to Oklahoma State.
Brandon
Okay.
Kyle
And he's just been throttling everyone. Besides Aaron Seidel, who is my goat? Oh, I think he's the most dynamic
Brandon
from where does he wrestle?
Kyle
Forest is the most exciting. Forest might be the best of all. Time, though.
Brandon Walker
Who's Blaze?
Danny
Everybody.
Kyle
Then Marcus Blaze. Oh, I want that guy prospect of all time.
Danny
What if he goes to Penn State?
Kyle
He's the three seed.
Brandon
And where's he wrestle from?
Kyle
Blaze is at Penn State, Right? Ben Davino, who just beat Blaze.
Brandon
Tell me.
Kyle
And he's from Chicago.
Brandon
Okay, what school?
Kyle
Ohio State. Okay, maybe root for Ben Davina. And what about in the four seat? Aaron side up from Virginia Tech is who I think is gonna. Even though I would never bet against Jax Forest. So I don't think he's going to win.
Danny
What?
Brandon Walker
So Kyle, who is your goat of this?
Kyle
I'm in a goat pickle. I'm going to go pickle with team. Boys weigh 133 pounds.
Brandon Walker
Oh, you hate to be in.
Brandon
That is a quote card.
Danny
Wait, there's an if.
Kyle
It's go Ryan Crook. He's hurt. Lucas Bird is the champ with the tall girlfriend. The much taller girlfriend.
Nick
Oh, I love that kid.
Kyle
You know him?
Nick
Yes.
Kyle
So like this.
Danny
How tall is the girlfriend?
Nick
Very tall. And they love this.
Kyle
Look at number eight, Aaron Seidel, the best wrestler I've ever seen. Kyler Larin, one of the most exciting, swaggiest wrestlers I've ever seen. Zan Fuga. He can do anything at any moment. Who is Jackson Blum?
Brandon
I want Zan Fugit.
Kyle
I don't know these rankings.
Nick
Yeah, it.
Kyle
He was a Cinderella last year.
Brandon
Yeah, he won it all.
Kyle
He made the semis as like a very low city.
Brandon
Got it.
Kyle
So who's excited?
Danny
And that's just one class.
Titus
One class?
Kyle
Boy one to ten.
Kate
It was a great preview.
Brandon Walker
Are the other classes exciting as well?
Kyle
Yeah, a lot.
Brandon
Just.
Kyle

Brandon
I'm kind of into that.
Danny
Don't like that.
Nick
They're very fun about it.
Danny
Tall people.
Nick
He doesn't give a shit. He's a ride or die for her.
Danny
Shouldn't mix the tights.
Intern
He won Natty last year, right?
Kyle
Yeah.
Danny
Yeah, he sure did.
Brandon
Yeah, but I like this because, like, people make fun of him and then he could just them up
Brandon Walker
so easily.
Kyle
He would.
Brandon Walker
How tall was he?
Kyle
He would dematerialize your organs.
Brandon
I like that.
Kyle
I Think he's five four, five three.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, I'm excited for it. I need to pick somebody out I want.
Brandon
You gotta. Can you text me when it's about to go down?
Kyle
I would start with the 133 pound weight.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
No, text me when that's gonna go down.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
Well, I would like to watch.
Kyle
Yeah.
Nick

Brandon Walker
Where's the arena? What arena is this in?
Kyle
Is it the queue?
Brandon
What is the Rocket.
Kyle
The Rocket Mortgage.
Brandon
Yeah.
Nick
Does it sell out? Is it like a packed.
Kyle
Yes. Yes.
Brandon
And you're not gonna try to beat traffic this year because you're right next to it.
Titus
No.
Brandon
Good.
Kyle
You'll be there, the whole thing.
Titus
Love that.
Brandon Walker
P.J.
Francis
duke is minus 400 for 155. 157 pound winner.
Brandon
What are the odds for 133? The four goats.
Francis
133. Jack Forest. Minus 190. Ben Divino. Plus 190 Marcus Blaze. Plus 350. Aaron Seidel. Plus 450.
Kyle
And that's my guy, Jax Forest.
Brandon Walker
Jax.
Danny
Aaron Seidel. Sounds like a name that's been famous before.
Nick
Sounds like a 1950s name.
Danny
Yeah.
Kyle
He's so good.
Danny
But so is Jack's Ford.
Kyle
So good at offense, he's so good at defense, at scrambling, he's so good riding, so good at turning.
Nick
How do they decide who gets to be on top
Kyle
after each period? They flip a card and if it's your color, you decide. Top, bottom. Are you neutral or defer? Yeah.
Brandon
Do you defer?
Kate
That's how you impat.
Brandon Walker
Why do you flip a card?
Nick
Yeah. Wait, really? Why?
Brandon
Got to make it. What? We've been flipping coins.
Kyle
They don't have the thousands. They don't have the budget for that many coins.
Brandon Walker
The coin has to go to the facilities.
Kyle
Come on.
Nick
Is it just by seed? Like, who's.
Brandon Walker
What Colors are on the sides of the card.
Kyle
Colors are based on, like, what you're. If you're. There's red and green. If your singlet looks more green than the other guy.
Brandon Walker
He's not lying.
Danny
Oh, really?
Brandon
Oh, my God. Oh, wait.
Titus
We gotta get one of these
Danny
wrestling cards.
Kyle
You put the green or red anklet on your ankle and then I get romantic about anklets. Just the way, kid. The way these stars, these beasts, like, put them on, take them off. I notice everything.
Nick
They wear anklets so much.
Brandon
Yeah.
Nick
This is real.
Kyle
Nothing is more romantic in wrestling than the. Than a champion taking off his anklets after a bit. Okay, maybe we'll do it slowly. Maybe he'll do it fast. Maybe he'll throw them in the air, pretend to shoot him with a gun. You never know.
Nick
It's like a wedding garden.
Kyle
I don't know.
Brandon Walker
It's like a garter.
Kyle
Yeah.
Connor Burns
I don't.
Brandon Walker
How is this not blowing up?
Kyle
Right. Right.
Danny
So do they, like.
Nick
I never heard of this.
Danny
Send their anklets to the Wrestling hall of Fame? They collect them, do they. What do they do with their anklets afterwards? Do they put them, like, on a. They frame them.
Kyle
They got to give them back the next guy.
Brandon
They ever think about doing this? Not during March Madness.
Kyle
16
Danny
is there. March Madness.
Brandon
I understand, but, like, you, like. I do want to watch. You've got me juiced up about it. But, like, what?
Brandon Walker
It has steep competition.
Brandon
It's basketball.
Kyle
Yeah. You got. But I don't.
Danny
Women talking.
Kyle
I honestly don't think casual fans, like, they might turn it on. But like, you. Then you're gonna see two dudes just holding on to each other for three minutes. This sucks.
Danny
Beautiful.
Kyle
But I get it.
Brandon Walker
What would you do to help grow this then?
Kyle
No, I'm not too interested in growing. I don't think it'll ever reach mass appeal. Energy. I love Wise and I'm. I think we got to stop with the. Let's grow the sport to outside fans.
Danny
Yeah.
Kyle
Let's make it as good of a product as possible for the people who are fans.
Brandon Walker
But what about growing it enough to where it doesn't have to fight for programs getting cut?
Kyle
Yeah. That'll never happen. Cal Baptist just cut their program.
Brandon
I. I like your approach, though, because I think that happens too much with these sports where it's like, lacrosse is probably the biggest one where it's like, respect lacrosse.
Titus
Right.
Brandon
Like, what about.
Danny
It's.
Brandon
It's there for the people who want to watch it.
Kyle
That's what it is.
Brandon
Yeah. And that's great.
Titus
Yeah.
Kyle
I don't need it to be right. Mainstream.
Brandon Walker
Is Doug excited?
Kyle
Doug's excited. He'll be coming through.
Titus
Wait, so you have a. Oh, my dad.
Brandon
Yeah. I thought you meant our Doug. Yeah, you're Doug.
Kyle
He's invited. Yeah.
Brandon
Our dog did a crazy move this morning. We were doing the Chinese workout on Instagram Live, and I was like, doug, you want to hop in? He's like, gotta do something. He then went and took a. And sat in the comments.
Kyle
Sat in the car.
Brandon
He was just commenting on the Instagram
Brandon Walker
Live while he's taking a. I thought Doug got engaged. I was like, hey, did you get engaged? And he said to Who?
Kyle
He did say that.
Brandon Walker
Yeah. Pissed me off.
Danny
He also met.
Brandon Walker
No, he didn't.
Danny
I thought cream today.
Brandon
Tom Crean was here.
Danny
No, Tom Crane was on Zoom. On wub.
Brandon
Yeah.
Danny
And somebody said, hey, we got a huge Tom Crane fan here. It's Doug. And they took a camera and Tom Crane is like, I like Doug.
Brandon Walker
How could you not?
Danny
That's where we were. I love it.
Brandon Walker
Is your dad going to get in any hijinks, you think? Is he going to get handsy?
Brandon
Is he gonna wrestle you?
Titus
Does he have a favorite of the goats?
Kyle
He like. He's a Jack's Forest guy. The number one Never.
Brandon
Are there other dads?
Kyle
The biggest goat is still in high school.
Brandon
Oh, wait.
Danny
We gotta go. Coming.
Brandon
It's another one.
Kyle
This Bo Bassett kid is such a.
Titus
He's.
Kyle
He's the best in the country, bar none. And he's a senior.
Titus
What weight class is he?
Kyle
He'll probably be 49. For the help.
Intern
I have a guest on Zoom boy.
Brandon
Oh, you have a guest on Zoom.
Intern
Yeah, we have a Bigfoot expert.
Brandon
Oh, wait, an expert or someone who saw it?
Intern
Expert. Long time field researcher since the 90s. He was on animal planets. Finding Bigfoot. He needs to do it now because he's going to a Bigfoot museum in one hour.
Brandon Walker
Yes, course.
Nick
Yes, please.
Intern
Cliff.
Brandon
Cliff.
Danny
Hey, Cliff.
Brandon
What's up?
Titus
Cliff?
Brandon
How you doing today, Cliff, thank you for joining us. I know you got a busy schedule. What. What's going on with the. What this is guy.
Brandon Walker
This guy's awesome guy.
Brandon
Yeah, no, it's great. I like the shirt, too.
Kyle
The name.
Cliff Barackman
Oh, yeah. I'm a huge fan of burritos. And I wear. I wear it proudly.
Brandon
I love that. Cliff, what's. What's going on in eastern Ohio right now?
Cliff Barackman
Oh, well, yeah, I think it's a lot of hubbub, honestly. I mean, I think there's probably some. Some kernel of truth in there. Like somebody probably saw a Sasquatch. I live in Oregon, so Ohio's honestly a little out of my jurisdiction, you know, but from what I understand from trusted researchers that I know in Ohio, there's probably a couple sightings. Apparently, one of the witnesses was pretty young, so his story, I was told, at least his story isn't exactly congruent with what he said earlier. But, you know, he's 15, so. And he's a human. People are kind of inaccurate sometimes about what they say, but from there on in, I think it's just a lot of like, maybe social media or influencer hype is what I'VE seen. I haven't seen any real strong evidence out of there, But I've heard a lot of hubbub, So, I don't know. We'll see.
Brandon
Now, cliff, what you just said is interesting. You just, you just casually said, yeah, they might have seen a sasquatch, as if that's. That's. That's real.
Brandon Walker
That seems like big news.
Cliff Barackman
Well, no, no, not at all. Sasquatches are seen fairly, Fairly often, actually. I did a. In fact, I did a sighting report Where I live. A young gentleman saw one just up in Welch's, Oregon, on March 1. I was out there on the 2nd. I found a footprint. I found a track way, in fact. No, no. Sasquatches are seen More often Than you would expect. You know. And mind you, this is my world. I own a bigfoot museum Called the north american bigfoot center in oregon. So that's kind of a big antenna for that, draws people in. And we hear a lot of reports, Sometimes very, very recently after they happened. But I don't think I'm exaggerating at all that I would say in the last 30 years, I've heard. I've spoken personally to several thousand witnesses. I don't think that's an exaggeration in the slightest. Now, what about you, though?
Brandon
Have you seen him?
Cliff Barackman
Yeah, yeah, him. No, I've seen one. I've seen one, maybe two. I'm not sure. Neither one of my sightings Was very good, and maybe I was mistaken. But there's been two times that I think I probably put my eyes on a sasquatch. But again, like I said, they weren't great sightings. One was from a great distance. The other one is through a night vision technology. But I'm still looking for a clear daytime, up close and personal, you know.
Brandon Walker
So is Ohio out of their range? Is that odd to be that far?
Intern
No.
Brandon Walker
Oh, no, not at all.
Cliff Barackman
No, no, not at all. Not at all. A lot of people who are unfamiliar with the subject Think that sasquatch Are only resident in the pacific northwest. And that's kind of because all of the early researchers Lived in the pacific northwest. And it's kind of, you know, that idea where the victors of the war get to write the history. It's kind of a case like that. But it turns out sasquatch is just like Pretty much every other large mammal in north, Have a continent wide distribution in suitable habitat. Sasquatches are much more rare Than black bear, for example. But black bear and sasquatches Seem to inhabit the same kinds of habitat, Therefore, probably the same ecological niche.
Brandon Walker
Do we need to have any fear of sasquatches?
Cliff Barackman
Oh, I don't think so. I mean, you should. I mean, you should give them the wide berth. They are large, wild animals, Whatever they are, no matter how human like they may end up being Once they're recognized as a species. But, you know, if they were out to get us, I would argue there'd be very few of us left, you know, So I think we're okay.
Brandon
What about, like, if you see a sasquatch, what are some of the things? Like, if you have maybe a tiny little air horn or like a seven iron, Are those things that you could maybe defend yourself with?
Cliff Barackman
I don't know, pull a camera out? They seem to be very camera shy. They wouldn't like that, I guess.
Brandon
Okay, so has.
Kate
Has the ring cam changed the game at all? Are you getting more photo evidence? Ever since I came around.
Brandon
Not.
Cliff Barackman
Not because the ring cam specifically, Although I do have a piece of footage From a. From security camera up in Washington on the gentleman's property. And he was lucky enough to see the animal Just moments before it walked in front of. On that side of the house, you know, so. Yeah, but technology in general has increased the number of photographs and videos that have come in over the years, you know, with everybody has a phone in their pocket and stuff. But even that gentleman that saw The Sasquatch on March 1st that I mentioned up in welch's, he said that he didn't even think about pulling out his phone because he was just, like, looking at it, going, oh, God. And it scared him, and he left. He didn't even think about filming it.
Titus
Cliff, do you see yourself as more of a scientist or like an adventurer?
Cliff Barackman
Oh, neither one, really. I mean, I have a weird career path. I mean, I'm science minded, and I think that's the important part. I'm not a scientist, actually. I don't have any degrees like that or anything. I have a degree in jazz guitar, it turns out, you know, But I'm a scientifically minded amateur, because this is. Bigfoot is one of those subjects that even after the species is proven to be real, the academics and the field biologists Are going to have to interface with the public because we're the ones that. We outnumber them. So we're the ones, I guess, that see them more often as a whole, you know, a handful of scientists versus everybody else. Well, everybody else is statistically, you know, Has a better chance of seeing a bigfoot. Right. So I think that this is one of those cases that a citizen scientist like myself, someone who does want to do the field biology in an amateur sort of way, is going to be very, very helpful to academics.
Brandon Walker
Cliff, what would you say to sway a non believer?
Cliff Barackman
Oh, I don't. I don't bother. It's one of those things that either you're kind of familiar with the evidence or you're not.
Brandon Walker
Yeah.
Cliff Barackman
And most people aren't. It's as simple as that. And I get it. It's no big deal. But I would say this, that I encourage skepticism. I think it's great because the truth can always withstand the scrutiny, no matter how hard you look.
Brandon Walker
Good line.
Cliff Barackman
And Bigfoot is one of those things that the harder you look at the evidence, the more you. You're going to. It's hard to look at the stuff, in my opinion. I mean, I'm completely convinced, besides my two lousy observations and all the experiences and the footprints I've seen and all that stuff, it's hard to really do a neutral examination of the evidence and walk away saying, it's clear there's nothing here at all. It's ridiculous, in my opinion, to think that way. The subject is worthy of investigation.
Brandon
Why haven't we ever found a dead Sasquatch then?
Cliff Barackman
Same reason you don't find naturally dead bears and mountain lions. And I want to emphasize the term. It is true. Naturally dead is the key word there. You find dead ones that have been poached or cleaned on the side of the road or roadkill or something like that. But large apex predators. An apex predator is something that nothing else hunts and kills. So bears, mountain lions, Sasquatches, humans, that kind of thing. We prey species don't get to choose where they die because they're killed and eaten. Apex predators do kind of get to choose where they die. They just don't know they're going to die when they're out there doing their animal stuff. Right. So they probably squirrel themselves away. Well, maybe not squirrel. I probably shouldn't use that word. Hide themselves away in an appropriate place for them to get better. Kind of like what we do. We go to bed, right. And then one day they die instead of getting better. And then the flesh is eaten away. The hair is eaten by moths. The bones are eaten by the most plentiful animal in North America, by biomass. The deer mouse and wood rats and porcupines eat bones, and coyotes eat bones, and deer and elk also eat bones. That's where they get the calcium for their antlers. Yeah, so the short answer is they're recycled pretty quick.
Danny
Oh, so when this thing happens in Ohio, it was like eight sightings in two days. That doesn't make you, like, want to get on a plane and go to Ohio and check it out?
Cliff Barackman
My understanding is that most, if not I'm going to say most, because I don't really know. Most of those witnesses have not been vetted necessarily. I think someone takes a report and just puts it out without even finding out if the person's real or not, you know. So I think that that's the danger with this stuff, especially when social media outlets and influencers and news reporters get involved, is that they're just putting this stuff out there, and then every joker in the area starts submitting the reports, True or not. But people who have actually had observations are probably doing the same thing. So I don't know. I think that the Ohio thing is a little overblown. Although Ohio is very good for Sasquatches, certainly.
Nick
Oh, are there any other countries in the world that are big on Bigfoot, Sasquatch, or is it just the United States?
Cliff Barackman
Oh, no, absolutely, absolutely. Well, I mean, Canada would be an obvious one, of course, but also overseas in Asia. I have personally looked for Sasquatch. Like animals, they're not called that over there, but in China and in Vietnam and Australia has a history of these things, oddly enough. Indonesia has a different species of unknown ape species that walks bipedally called the Rang Pendek. And IBU Gogo is another one over there in Indonesia. Yeah, in Africa. One of the gentlemen just died. His name was Gareth Patterson. He was an elephant researcher. And actually back in the 70s, I don't know if you saw that movie Born Free, he was one of those guys. He was studying elephants and started running across Sasquatch things in South Africa. So, yeah, no, the United States is not the only place in the world within this a tradition of unknown hairy bipeds.
Brandon Walker
All the reports describe a smell. Can you just.
Titus
What is.
Brandon Walker
What would that smell like? What could we compare that to?
Cliff Barackman
Actually, not all the reports, only about 10 to 15% of reports have a smell associated with it. But. And, but dance. To get more directly to your question, over the last 30 something years that I've been doing this, I've had, I guess, the quote unquote privilege of smelling these things three times. And each time one was in the Siskiyou mountains of California, that one was in the Sierras, and then the other one was in Kentucky. They all three smelled exactly the same. And It's a very, very sharp smell and the best words I could wrap around it is dog crap Parmesan.
Danny
So you have two sightings and three smellings?
Cliff Barackman
Well, yeah, two lousy sightings. I mean they're nothing to brag about or anything, but. Yeah, but I found tracks. I've recorded them vocalizing numerous times. Yeah. I mean they're a normal species of animal here in North America and you can in fact run across them.
Titus
Them.
Cliff Barackman
It's not like seeing an interdimensional shape shifting UFO riding critter or something like that.
Brandon
It's.
Cliff Barackman
They're mammals. They're. They're primates.
Brandon
Has Jack. Jack Slink's beef jerky made your job more difficult?
Cliff Barackman
Oh, well, I mean, I love Sasquatches in general. So when they make a cartoony sort of version of something like that, I, I kind of celebrate it. I don't really, it doesn't really get representation matters.
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What? Yeah, do you? Okay. What's your favorite burrito?
Cliff Barackman
Oh, I like carne asada a lot.
Brandon
All right, good.
Cliff Barackman
Oh my God. Yeah, it's just, it just. I love it.
Titus
Would you eat a Sasquatch burrito if presented with an opportunity?
Cliff Barackman
I don't know. I, I doubt it. I like to respect the animals.
Titus
Okay.
Cliff Barackman
You know, but. Yeah, but it's like, I don't know. Would you eat a human one if one gave that? I don't know. I don't think it's appropriate to eat great apes of any type.
Brandon
Sure, sure.
Brandon Walker
So if and when you see one,
Cliff Barackman
I hope they're not delicious for their sake.
Kyle
Yes.
Brandon Walker
So if you see one and get, get a closer, a better sighting as opposed to your lousy ones, do you think you'll be fearful or will you weep tears of joy? Like what is that moment going to be like for you?
Cliff Barackman
It's hard to predict that sort of thing. And I find that most of my predictions are. Go wildly wrong. But I would like to think that I would film the thing. I'm sure it would be very scary because, you know, I go alone a lot and that's most likely how it's going to happen is I'll be walking along and there'll be one above me or below me. And whenever I run across any large mammals, especially at close range, it is a little spooky, you know, I mean even El can turn on you and you know, tear you up a little bit and stuff. All large mammals deserve a wide berth and I'm sure it'll be a little Little scary. Have there, have there been any. Get that chance to find out.
Brandon Walker
Have there been any killings of humans by Sasquatch?
Cliff Barackman
There's been a few reports of them, but. Like the Ape Canyon incident, for example, in Mount St. Helens back in the 1920s. But I, again, we wouldn't hear from the people who didn't survive.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Cliff Barackman
So that's problematic there.
Brandon Walker
You know, what, what do the, what
Francis
do Sasquatches or Bigfoot eat? And then are there excrement found regularly in hikes and things like that?
Cliff Barackman
Okay, I will take that second question first. I, yeah, certainly they poop. There's been a. I know. I only know of two reports, and I didn't speak directly to either witness of them. Somebody seeing them take a dump. One of them was standing in the middle of a river and let it flow at that point. So I don't know. And the other one was told to me by Dr. Jeff Meldrum, who recently passed away in September. And he was, he interviewed the witness. I think it was a tribal cop on the Yakima Reservation in Washington. And he was following one at a distance, and he saw it let loose with some, with some turd, and it buried it like a cat. So I'm not sure about that.
Brandon Walker
Very interesting.
Cliff Barackman
I mean, yeah, it is interesting. And I'm sorry, I forgot the first question.
Brandon Walker
Do we know what they eat?
Cliff Barackman
Oh, yeah, yeah. They eat all sorts of stuff, actually. And I think their diet changes throughout the seasons, just like all the omnivores. I think their diet is very similar to that of a, an American black bear combined with, you know, like, like native species, Native humans, like Native, Native Americans who are living here and first nations people. If you take away the fire technology. So I think that's the main difference. But, yeah, everything's on the menu. If you, if you're a Sasquatch, what
Brandon
other you, you mentioned jazz guitar? What other interests do you have? Or, like, if I were to hang out with you and just be like, we're just gonna talk about Sasquatch time.
Cliff Barackman
Oh, no, actually, I mean, Sasquatch is my, my work in my life. But I, I have a wide variety of interests, of course, because, you know, you have to be balanced in some sort of way. And certainly being, being an eccentric weirdo like myself, my life has become unbalanced in many ways over the years, so it's always a struggle for me. But I, I, I live in the woods, so I really enjoy taking care of my property. I, I, I'm an Amateur astronomer. I've got a pretty nice telescope. I love gardening. I. I play. I play jazz guitar soloing in small groups and that sort of stuff.
Brandon
Oh, yeah, you got it all right. Cuz I was like the man. Cliff might just only talk about Sasquatch. Sounds like you got a pretty well rounded life.
Titus
What a life.
Brandon Walker
And where's your museum again?
Cliff Barackman
My. I have a little museum called North American Bigfoot center outside of Portland, Oregon, in a town called. Check this out. Boring Oregon. Yeah, they're awesome, right?
Brandon
That's sick.
Cliff Barackman
All right, well, nothing against the feed store, but we're the most exciting thing in boring.
Brandon
All right, well, Cliff, thank you so much for joining us on a wh. And I think if we get some more of these sightings, we're gonna have to have you back on.
Cliff Barackman
Yeah, go ahead and give me a holler anytime. This was fun and thank you for accommodating me. I have to. I'm going out to the Willow Creek Museum right now to help them with their archives and their collection. And because my life is all about Bigfoot, and luckily I love it.
Brandon
So thanks so much, Cliff.
Deutsch
Yeah.
Kyle
Cliff, wait, wait.
Danny
One more, one more, one more, one more.
Kyle
What right now is the single most compelling and comprehensive piece of evidence that Bigfoot exists.
Cliff Barackman
It's not that I get asked that a lot, and it's honestly more nuanced than that, which is a hard, difficult for not. Not you guys specifically, but because you're asking good questions. And a lot of media doesn't, honestly. But the media likes short, snappy answer, soundbite stuff. But Sasquatch is one of those subjects that is subtle and nuanced. And so when people ask me what's the best piece of evidence for Sasquatch, to me, that's like asking which of these jigsaw puzzles is your favorite. And it's not about an individual piece. It's about how it all fits together as a mosaic. And such things are like the footprint cast evidence is fantastic, for example, and it shows characteristics of not only human footprints, but also other primate, other great ape footprints, like a mid tarsal pressure joint or I'm sorry, a mid tarsal ridge. You know, they have flexibility in the mid part of their foot, I guess is a good way to say it. And you can. No matter where or when or by whom these footprints were cast, many of them show that same feature. Or if you take the native accounts, some of their. The traditional native stories about these animals describe known ape behaviors that weren't discovered until Jane Goodall And Dian Fossey did their pioneering work in the 60s and 70s. So it's not a single piece of evidence. It's actually how all the evidence kind of fills in this jigsaw puzzle. And when you're done, you're looking at a picture of a wild primate in North America.
Titus
Wow.
Brandon
Awesome.
Kyle
Good answer.
Brandon
All right, well, thank you, Cliff. We really appreciate it.
Titus
Thanks, Cliff.
Cliff Barackman
Thank you, guys.
Brandon
Appreciate it. Have a good one.
Kyle
Take care.
Brandon
That guy's awesome, Cliff. I'm rooting so hard for him to get a good sighting. He's.
Brandon Walker
He deserves one.
Brandon
Like the fact he's only had two and they're iffy.
Titus
Yeah. If he sightings.
Brandon Walker
So the past two guests we've had with the Big Mac guy and him, they have life so figured out.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kyle
He's the embodiment of every 30 plus year old man who's ever been given therapy advice and listened to it.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kyle
Living.
Nick
He's well rounded.
Brandon
Living super happy. Favorite life.
Brandon Walker
He's has hobbies.
Brandon
He has land garden.
Brandon Walker
Cliff Barackman.
Danny
I, I. The only thing that left me confused was his lack of enthusiasm for the Ohio store.
Brandon
Yeah.
Danny
I would have thought he would be like.
Brandon
Well, he said that he's a 15 year old kid and he's probably been
Brandon Walker
burnt by sightings so much.
Danny
All right. All right.
Nick
I don't think he admitted it to. I feel like the Northwest does. Is that the top left corner?
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah. You got it.
Nick
I feel like they've got that. Not that they're gatekeeping Sasquatch, but I feel like they really.
Danny
That's Bigfoot country.
Nick
That is Bigfoot country. And I feel like they're.
Titus
Yeah.
Nick
He was cool about it, but I feel like they are a little hesitant.
Titus
Yeah. If you're down south, Brandon, and someone tells you there's a good college football game going on in Canada, are you hopping on a plane and flying to it?
Cliff Barackman
Yeah.
Titus
Are you just like, all right, I'm sure. Good for them.
Danny
Whatever.
Kate
There's eight of them. Maybe.
Brandon
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
He never, he never called it Bigfoot.
Brandon
Yes. 100% like it's real.
Danny
His museum was Bigfoot Museum.
Brandon
Right.
Brandon Walker
Oh, was it?
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
Point.
Nick
He was saying Ohio. He wouldn't say Bigfoot for Ohio. He was saying, oh, they might have had a Sasquatch. But he wasn't saying Bigfoot. I'm thinking like Northwest.
Danny
Talking about two different things.
Kate
I think rule one is that big Sasquatch is a species.
Intern
Bigfoot is a guy.
Brandon Walker
Is Bigfoot like their president?
Titus
Yeah. I spent most of his life one
Brandon
Bigfoot Yeah, me too.
Danny
So Bigfoot.
Brandon
The lockdown spots.
Danny
Yeah, he's the number one Sasquatch.
Brandon Walker
Yes. And maybe they pass that title on.
Danny
What about Little.
Brandon Walker
Little Foot?
Brandon
Wait, can we see? Do the. Do the. Do the State Farm. Ask real quick, Bryn, but can we see tj? Like the best video footage?
Titus
Oh, no.
Danny
What?
Brandon Walker
What?
Titus
Look at the. Look at the yak chat.
Kyle
What'd he do?
Titus
Wyatt texted us that Jeff DLO just walked by my desk and said this guy's full of. Oh, no.
Danny
Let us believe something.
Brandon
Jeff D. Lowe, of all people. And I like Jeff, but he. Of all people, Jeff should embrace the Big Mac guy, the Sasquatch. Jeff is those guys.
Brandon Walker
Jeff is one of them.
Brandon
He's a. He's got a. A bunch of dolls in his house.
Titus
Right?
Brandon
And he watches movies religiously. He is an embodiment of like. And again, Jeff is living a great life. Like, yeah, I like my passions, and I just go head first into him. That's no different than Sasquatch.
Brandon Walker
Jeff and I have. Like, our texts are all just new products that are coming out.
Brandon
Right?
Brandon Walker
That's all it.
Intern
Like.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, I guess he.
Brandon
I think he's gatekeeping nerds.
Danny
He is doing.
Brandon
Because that guy was a nerd. But in the best way. Like I say, Cliff is a nerd. I mean that as the highest compliment.
Danny
I think he'd agree.
Brandon
Yeah.
Danny
Yeah. In basketball, the great players don't just go it alone. They have teammates, coaches, and a solid support system behind them. It's kind of like insurance, because let's face it, a lot of us probably aren't great at doing that alone either. And that's where State Farm comes in. State Farm is a teammate, always ready to assist. Help you find the coverage you need and help you recover from the unexpected. From fender benders to storm damage, even. Just a question about your policy. State Farm is there to help provide and assist when you need it through the State Farm mobile app, a network of 19,000 local agents and online@statefarm.com. so don't just go it alone. When you need help protecting what matters most. State Farm is there. State Farm with the assist Coverage options are selected by the customer. Availability and eligibility vary by state. State Farm with the assist coverage options. Oh, I just read the same thing. That's on me, Steven. State Farm with the assist. State Farm.
Kate
Great work.
Titus
I do love the idea of Jeff just hating all the other guys arrivals. The Funko pop collector who makes graphics for how the best way to watch the Olympics.
Danny
What do you mean? He's had 5,000 Big Macs.
Titus
Celebrates when his favorite movies win Oscars as a championship that he won. That guy is like.
Brandon
Like those.
Titus
Those.
Brandon Walker
Kyle, did you see speaking of wrestling, the phenom out of West Virginia, six years old.
Brandon
Who.
Brandon Walker
Professional wrestling, though.
Danny
Oh, we got a person, a phenom,
Brandon Walker
a professional wrestling phenom. Burt Texas.
Danny
Oh, my God, he's six years old.
Brandon Walker
From Welch, I think, or. Or from Wayne, maybe.
Danny
I gotta get on Burton.
Brandon
Oh, no.
Francis
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Burt Texas is up and coming in the world of wwe.
Danny
He's.
Brandon Walker
He's. Next up, Brandon Bart.
Danny
Texas. Yeah. Five years old.
Brandon Walker
Oh, is he. Might be an old photo. He says you're Texas. Toast to people.
Titus
That's pretty good.
Kyle
What has he done?
Intern
He. He was like watching wrestling. He was like, I want to be like that. So he made up a character.
Danny
And it's a good character. Yeah.
Intern
Viral enough.
Brandon Walker
And now he's Burt Texas.
Kyle
It's not burnt.
Brandon Walker
Burt.
Kyle
Burt Texas.
Nick
Do you see the pizza spinner guy?
Brandon Walker
Oh, wrestling.
Danny
Oh, yeah.
Brandon Walker
So cool.
Danny
That's one of those that pops up every now and then. But he's. There's a couple of guys on the indies. There's him. There's Cocaine.
Brandon Walker
Oh, cocaine is good.
Danny
He wears a cane suit that's white and he calls himself Cocaine.
Brandon
I like that.

Intern
Invisible man.

Brandon Walker
There's a. There's a lot of penis.
Danny
A lot of penis guys will do moves with their penis.
Brandon Walker

Danny
A penis.
Brandon Walker
No, that might have just been you, Kate.
Danny
No, there's the pizza guy.
Intern
They did a wrestling show at a Jewel.
Nick
That's what I'm talking about. There was a Jewel Oscar here. People were grocery shopping and they got to the back of the store and they were like, what the. Oh, there was just a full wrestling match.
Intern
Karen Cross was there.
Danny
Brandon carrying Cross was there. Yeah. Boy, how the mighty have fallen, huh?
Brandon
Well, damn.
Danny
I mean, he was in WWE last year. Now he's in Jewel Oscar.
Nick
But how do people find out? Like, I want to go to a wrestling show at the Jewel Osco.
Brandon Walker
I wouldn't go stumble upon those things.
Danny
Yeah, Luigi Primo is a good name too.
Intern
Stephen Flow is one of my favorites on the end. Yeah, he wears like five flannels and he comes out to an even Flow remix that just goes. Stephen Flow is all the lyrics.
Brandon
Oh, that's good.
Danny
Good. Deutsch is just working huh.
Nick
He's still on that same row?
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
I need to be able to visualize. Hello.
Brandon Walker
Do we think this works?
Brandon
I mean, what. What is works? He drinks the beers. The.
Brandon Walker
The actual structure.
Kate
The beers don't fall down.
Brandon
Yeah, I think. I think it works. I don't think we'll be wowed. No, we will.
Danny
How many different spots in the office and silos are we going to have stuff for beer drinking? This is right around the corner from the yuck station.
Brandon
Here we go.
Brandon Walker
All right.
Brandon
Now we're cooking. Okay. And he got it color coordinated, too.
Titus
Wow.
Nick
Take him so long to cover up.
Brandon
Oh, my God.
Kyle
64.
Brandon
It's just a huge project. It's a. It's a grown man alcoholic science project. That's all he's doing.
Titus
He.
Danny
We're.
Brandon
We're doing a science fair for.
Nick
And they're going to be warm.
Titus
They're going to be very warm.
Brandon Walker
Temperature.
Kyle
Probably gonna want Duke soon too, so.
Brandon Walker
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah, he's gonna get thirsty.
Danny
What the hell? Took us
Kyle
like, the west region.
Brandon Walker
All right.
Cliff Barackman
What.
Brandon
What happens to the beers that lose? They just.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
What is he.
Kyle
Is he not drinking them all?
Danny
No, I think he drinks the loser.
Titus
Right.
Kate
And advances the winner.
Brandon Walker
So he will be drinking them all?
Cliff Barackman
No, all.
Titus
But yeah.
Danny
Okay.
Nick
He. Wait. Sorry.
Titus
So over the course of the next three weeks, one man will drink 63 beers.
Brandon
Correct.
Titus
Over the course of three weeks.
Danny
So we have a champion, which is
Brandon
also the same man who drank 63 beers probably last weekend.
Titus
Right?
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
Right, Right.
Brandon Walker
But yeah, this is on top of the 100 he'll have in these next three.
Danny
This one didn't get a color unless he did say.
Intern
This is not the first time he's done.
Connor Burns
Done this.
Nick
Oh, he tried, but.
Brandon
Oh, yeah. What's that color? Come on.
Nick
Fall apart. Right?
Brandon Walker
BYU's needs to be a Pepsi.
Titus
Is it.
Brandon
Oh, yeah.
Titus
Is it annoying anyone else that's facing
Danny
the same way he was facing the other one?
Brandon
Oh, Deutsch.
Kyle
Yeah, he's got a.
Brandon
Wait, wait, is it. Is it least go up? Oh, is it lowers?
Danny
That's the only one. Oh.
Brandon
Oh, De. Get in here. Deutsch.
Nick
I know he can't because of branding, but it would be cool if each of the beers was from that town, right? Like a small brewery kind of thing? Like.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, no, I think this is pretty much.
Nick
You're right. Never mind.
Danny
Get in here.
Brandon Walker
Yeah. This is all.
Brandon
I'm gonna do an ad real quick. From breathtaking buzzer beaters to jaw dropping upsets, tournament season is full of ups and Downs. But don't let unexpected appliance and home system breakdowns add to the emotional roller coaster. Seriously, nothing kills the vibe faster than watching your bracket implode or having your AC unit do the same. Thank goodness. AHS steps in like 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. Luckily, you can team up with American Home Shield for a home warranty that can help protect even your oldest appliances and home systems. AHS will repair the covered item, and if they can't repair it, they'll replace it. Homeowners insurance is a good start, but it's not the whole game plan. An AHS home warranty helps cover things that insurance doesn't, like breakdowns caused by normal wear and tear on the stuff you count on every day. So while you're stressing about your bracket, don't stress about unexpected breakdowns. American Home Shield has your back. Plus, as a benefit to less select plans, you can video chat with live repair experts to help fix some hassles over the phone. American Home Shield. Don't worry. Be warranty.

Titus
I got a problem.
Brandon
We got a problem.
Titus
Do you see it? You see the problem?
Deutsch
I think it looks pretty good.
Brandon
But do you see the problem?
Titus
There's one problem.
Kate
One thing is not like the others.
Deutsch
Oh, yep, we do have a problem.
Brandon
What's the problem?
Deutsch
We have a can facing the wrong way.
Brandon
Yes. Are we gonna redo that does that
Brandon Walker
up everything that could.
Deutsch
That could have happened to anyone. Yeah, I'll just get back in there and take the sticker off and put it the.
Brandon
Oh, that's an easy fix.
Deutsch
That's an easy fix.
Titus
Okay.
Brandon Walker
Are you excited?
Deutsch
Super excited.
Brandon Walker
You've done this before?
Deutsch
This is my third year in a row.
Brandon Walker
And what were your findings year one and two?
Deutsch
Oh, it's. You just drink the loser as you go. I'm picturing myself over there with, like, a walkie talkie, and you guys just let me know.
Brandon
Yeah, like, game over, final.
Deutsch
Sienna's down, and I just go up, get it.
Kyle
And so you have no. There's no implications. You're not rooting for any specific team. You just want the game to end.
Deutsch
If I'm thirsty Yeah.
Brandon
What about how warm it's going to be?
Deutsch
Yeah, that's the one thing. It's just going to be room temperature, but that's fine.
Brandon Walker
Is this the biggest scale you've ever done this to?
Deutsch
This is the highest ceiling.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, sure.
Connor Burns
What?
Brandon
So tomorrow you're gonna drink 16 beers.
Deutsch
Yes.
Brandon
And then Friday, 16 beers.
Deutsch
Yes.
Titus
And then. Well, Saturday, eight beers.
Deutsch
Well, I'll drink more, but those are going to be the ones that.
Brandon
Right now. How do you think? Because Dave will be here. How do we feel like Dave? Because we'll do this on stream. Like, we will.
Danny
We will say.
Brandon
All right.
Titus
Right.
Brandon
Game's over. Deutsch. Go get. Go, go. Take one down for sure.
Titus
This is actually a great question. How will Dave.
Brandon
How will Dave respond to this? Because I'll actually. I mean, I don't want to put pressure on you, but, like, after Ohio State TCU ends, that's the first game tomorrow. I'm probably going to be like, hey, Dave, you want to come over and
Danny
watch
Brandon
Deutsche about to drink the loser.
Deutsch
Yeah. I don't know how he's gonna take it. I mean, it kind of looks like a child did it, but I'm trying as hard as I can. That took me a long time to do those bubble letters. I did highlights around the letter.
Brandon
Like, it looks good.
Brandon Walker
It does look good.
Deutsch
That took up most of my day yesterday.
Brandon
I mean, by the way, I also want it on the record, Deutsch. I don't care how Dave responds because you're. You're mine.
Nick
And.
Brandon
Okay, I. I love this. I love you. But I'm just. I'm wondering because, you know, I. It sometimes happens where Dave comes to this office. He'll see something or say something, and then someone will get self conscious. I guess you'll drink, I think. I guess you'll be drunk by the time he gets self conscious.
Deutsch
I need a little bit of a buzz. For sure.
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah.
Titus
There's a chance Dave likes it, though. Yeah, he could be, like, a chance. He thinks it's, like, absurd.
Brandon
I think what we should do, too is we should maybe tomorrow get it set up. So, like, when the first elimination happens, we all go over there.
Deutsch
Yeah.
Brandon
Maybe get a ribbon. Should we ribbon cut it?
Deutsch
Yeah. That'd be like, the best day of my life.
Danny
Okay.
Brandon
All right. We're gonna ribbon cut. So we gotta get a big ribbon tomorrow. We'll ribbon cut it and then like, first game final, we all just come over and clap up Deutsch. Drinking a beer.
Deutsch
I did meet Dave one time here When I applied for the PMT internship and I had the briefcase full of lobster rolls.
Brandon
Yep.
Deutsch
And I asked him if he wanted a lobster roll out of my briefcase. And he just gave me a look and just said, no, this will be my second time.
Brandon
Okay. I think he's gonna be in a good mood because he hasn't been losing in gambling. He didn't gamble last weekend, and, well, I guess with horses, but. And he finished the first draft of his book, so he's probably gonna have Michigan.
Titus
Michigan's good. There's a lot.
Deutsch
What if I had a copy of the first draft of the book?
Brandon
How would you.
Danny
How would you.
Brandon Walker
What are you gonna do with that?
Brandon
And how would you.
Deutsch
Yeah, I guess just thinking about something I had. I'd been doing some light reading, but I guess it's not after.
Brandon
No.
Deutsch
Oh, no, no.
Danny
Are you gonna drink it? What would you do?
Deutsch
No.
Brandon Walker
Oh, you just want it, like, as an accessory.
Brandon
Can we get though the COVID If we can get the COVID we can put it on a other book and then maybe you put it, like on
Deutsch
my desk like I had been.
Brandon
Yeah. You know, it might creep them out.
Danny
Yeah. I think he'd be like, how the. Did you get that?
Deutsch
Yeah,
Brandon
it's gonna be electric.
Deutsch
But are you kind of seeing the vision now?
Brandon
Oh, yeah.
Deutsch
I think at first you were looking at me like.
Brandon Walker
Like and so, like the grand finale, the championship game.
Deutsch
Maybe we do a beer boot. We'll do something special.
Brandon Walker
Okay. Yeah.
Connor Burns
Yeah.
Brandon
What, like a beer boot? Like a quarter full?
Deutsch
No, like. Like one of the 60 ounce boots.
Brandon Walker
Oh.
Brandon
Because it'd be funny if it was
Danny
like a 60 ounce boot, but just the one.
Brandon
Oh, right.
Deutsch
Yeah. That would also be good. I'm open to. I'm open to suggestions.
Danny
Okay.
Nick
Are you chugging the losing bear or you're just like, they lose the game.
Brandon
Oh, good question.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah. I didn't think about.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
Are you gonna make us, like, are you gonna slowly drink it?
Deutsch
I haven't thought that far ahead.
Brandon
What did you do last year?
Deutsch
Last year, just in my apartment, just slowly drinking it.
Brandon Walker
You built this on your apartment wall?
Deutsch
I'll see if I have pictures of the damage.
Brandon
Did you.
Brandon Walker
What? Was it the same, like.
Deutsch
No, it was just drywall. So the command strips just stuck to, like, what ripped off all.
Brandon
Did you make videos of you drinking the beers last year?
Kyle
No.
Deutsch
Yeah, I did make some. I did make some.
Brandon
Okay. Oh, this is far better what you're doing this year. Yeah.
Deutsch
I'm also like, I tried to think about not ripping the wall using painters tape this year with the material, I'll use just like. Like a black electrician tape.
Brandon
Now, did you pitch this exact idea to the Kelsey's?
Deutsch
No, I just did it.
Brandon
Oh, okay. Because I would have loved to see that.
Deutsch
No, Jason, like, collab posted it with.
Brandon
Oh, okay, nice. I'll collab post with you tomorrow.
Deutsch
That would be huge.
Brandon
Yeah, for sure. Yeah, for sure.
Deutsch
Yeah.
Intern
All right.
Deutsch
Well, what do you think, Titus?
Titus
I love it.
Deutsch
I took a little. I took a little extra time on the Ohio State.
Titus
Yeah.
Deutsch
With the outline, if you can get it.
Titus
I'll be honest, I'm. I'm now even more nervous that we're
Deutsch
the See the black.
Brandon
Yeah, no, that's a huge.
Titus
Like the first beer you could drink for this bracket could be Ohio State, which would be so, so devastating.
Deutsch
Yes.
Titus
So devastating to be the first team eliminated.
Brandon
All right, go fix TCU and just keep rolling.
Deutsch
Okay. Sounds all right.
Brandon
Love it.
Deutsch
Thanks, guys.
Brandon Walker
It's a good idea.
Brandon
What is going on around here?
Danny
It may look like a kid did it, but he's trying his hardest.
Brandon
Trying his hardest. Try me hardest.
Brandon Walker
He's.
Cliff Barackman
It's.
Danny
He's.
Brandon
The fact too. That sneaky one where he was like, do you like the bubble letters? Because. Took me all day yesterday. He.
Danny
He's at the same time our most. He's our most put together guy, but he's also our most.
Brandon Walker
It took him 24 hours, right? 64 words.
Nick
Not now, babe. You know, I'm swamped.
Brandon
Work was a. I'm happy. I said. Because I. He said to me this morning, very casually, he's like, hey, can I. I. Can I do my beer wall? What if I said no? I guess that was never even a
Brandon Walker
p. That was weird of you to even think.
Brandon
Yeah, I just.
Brandon Walker
There we go.
Brandon
But like, what if he had done all that and I was like, actually, no beer wall this year.
Danny
But that's just not a world you would.
Brandon
Yeah, you're right. You're right.
Nick
And all is right with the world.
Danny
Like, we'd have to check and see if something was wrong with you at that point.
Brandon
I can't wait for tomorrow when we just get to all go over there. She's like, everyone, let's go.
Brandon Walker
Is going to hit.
Brandon
He has to go for the first one. I'll be there for every single one.
Nick
He needs to just slowly drink it while. While Dave stands there.
Danny
Just what happens in the middle of
Brandon
30 dudes watching another dude drink a beer slowly?
Danny
So what happens in the middle of the day when there's three Game one. One game ends. Another game.
Brandon
We might get a little backed up.
Danny
Okay.
Brandon
Yeah, we might have to do some cleanup work.
Danny
Okay, so I might have knocked three down at one time.
Brandon
Maybe I won't get up for every single one of them. Maybe we'll just go to him. Every single one one of them. Like, hey, this game's final. And then we're just like, go to the Deutsch cam.
Titus
The game's not truly final till Deutsch drinks the beer. Yeah, you're not full. You're not truly eliminated until every day
Brandon
I'm tweeted from, like, Evil the Stool. I can tag the Viceroy account, be like, see this? Yep, it's over.
Titus
This is the new fat lady singing do drinking your beer.
Nick
Not over till Deutsch drinks beer.
Brandon
Tj, can you tell the.
Danny
Wait a second.
Brandon
Wait a second.
Titus
Over Till Do Champ.
Brandon Walker
When we do, like, the national champion shirts, one of them has to just be a white can that has his hand right now.
Brandon
Yes, actually. That's a great shirt.
Francis
Yeah, it is.
Brandon Walker
And it just says undrank underneath.
Danny
He did it all day yesterday. But he's doing Kansas. He goes now, right? No, I thought he's just doing tape
Intern
and can watch all day yesterday.
Brandon Walker
Oh, he's done it.
Kyle
Took five.
Danny
Those five took him all day. He has 59 left.
Titus
No way.
Brandon
No, no, no.
Danny
All right, see what he's doing.
Titus
Hold on.
Brandon
Yeah, you're right.
Intern
And he had to put all the shelves up.
Kyle
Wait, he has still. He has to color them now?
Brandon
No, he did stick.
Titus
He did all the stickers yesterday.
Danny
Oh, okay. Stickers are done. I see.
Titus
Yeah, I need tape up.
Brandon
Can we get. I'm going to get someone to help.
Brandon Walker
Wait, can we get De. An actual intern? Yeah, just to see what he has them do. A kid that's out of college. Want to drive your Deutsch intern?
Brandon
Is there someone upstairs who's not doing anything right now?
Danny
Come on. Safe bet.
Titus
Go. Come on.
Kyle
Now
Danny
look at Rick trying to hide.
Brandon
See how you could out Also, Luki, you want to get a camera?
Danny
Oh, is there anybody up there not doing anything?
Brandon
Mikey, you want to help?
Danny
Can you.
Brandon
Can you just tape Deutsch's beer cans? All right.
Connor Burns
Love it.
Brandon
Let's go.
Nick
Nick, did you ever find out what raise the cone meant?
Brandon Walker
Hoist the cone. I guess in 2019, they did a waffle cone with a progey in it. Yeah, and that's
Nick
okay.
Brandon Walker
And so I guess that now they're trying to do a viral thing for their pierogi cone that whenever the Pirates do something good, you're going to. Titus. I was like that, but now I love it.
Titus
Now you love it.
Brandon Walker
Hoist the cone. All right, Pirates fans, hoist the cone. Hoist your pierogi waffle.
Danny
Sing it for me.
Brandon Walker
Come on. Hoist the cone title.
Nick
I kind of love it.
Danny
Oh, can't leave yet.
Titus
It was like a 2011 Reddit meme.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, it's like bacon narwhal. Yeah. Oist the cone. All right, Pittsburgh fans, you know what time it is?
Cliff Barackman
What?
Kate
Such a weird usage of hoist
Nick
a kielbasa pierogi Swiss cheese cone.
Danny
Hate how much I want sauerkraut and Russian dressing.
Brandon Walker
Well, Brandon going, oh, no, we're going to.
Brandon
They.
Brandon Walker
They have new hoist the cone T shirts with a picture of the cone on it now. Cuz it was. The other one was causing confusion.
Danny
All right, are you getting us. Are you getting us multiple hoist the cone shirts?
Kyle
I'm.
Francis
I. I'm.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, I should. I'll get.
Kyle
And you got to wait for a certain time.
Brandon Walker
I don't know. You just got to hold on to your proof.
Kyle
Can't eat it. Don't eat. Remember, if you bought don't eat your sausage ice cream cone.
Brandon Walker
Titus, I'm watching you. Just 180 right now.
Brandon
What are you talking about?
Brandon Walker
Hoisting the cone?
Titus
I mean, if I go and experience it myself, I'll be converted. That's a fact.
Nick
It's one of those.
Brandon Walker
It's going to be the biggest thing in sports.
Brandon
By the way. I just told Deutsch. I was like, Nick came up with the idea that we'll do a T shirt with the champion, and he just goes, holy.
Brandon Walker
That. Like, if my team won and I had undrank.
Brandon
Yeah. That's the beauty of these guys. The kicks, the Danas, the Deutsches. He just. Just the. The level it takes to. To get them super impressed is so low. And it's such a great, like, characteristic in such a, like, terrible, jaded world where you can just say something to them. You're like. And they're just like, oh, my God, that's so sick.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, this goes back to, like, barstool. Like, working here makes you feel like the man.
Titus
Like.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, that made me feel like the man.
Brandon
Yeah, you got a. Holy.
Brandon Walker
That was awesome.
Cliff Barackman
Holy.
Brandon
So who.
Kate
Who was he doing this for the past two years? Like, his.
Brandon
I think he was Garage beer. Yeah, he had. I think he had a little advertising deal with them. Now we got Mikey Betts helping.
Danny
So Mikey Bets lost his desk yeah,
Brandon
we're going to make him. He wants a super desk.
Danny
That's super desk.
Brandon
He's been talking about a super desk. I don't really know what a super desk looks like, but get him a super desk.
Danny
Oh, I kind of want him rising up above the. The.
Brandon Walker
That'd be cool.
Danny
What, the. The fence up there?
Brandon
Yeah.
Danny
Out over. If he's, like, eight feet above it, but yeah.
Nick
Lifeguard stand.
Brandon
Yeah, he wants that super desk, and we're gonna figure out a way to get him a super desk.
Kate
I think that's just a stacked double desk, like, in the office. Yeah.
Brandon
Mega desk. Yeah. I think he wants to be standing and, like, hovering over people.
Danny
He doesn't want to stand.
Brandon
I kind of sounded like he wanted.
Danny
He's like me. He's a sitter. He's a sitter. You tell me. Mikey Walker's a sitter.
Brandon
I gotta say, Brandon, I, I have become such a sitter. It's crazy.
Danny
Yeah, we're all sitters here.
Brandon
I don't stand for more than, like, a minute.
Danny
That. That workout you're doing is your most standing.
Kyle
You don't stand throughout the day.
Brandon
I, I, I refuse to stand.
Brandon Walker
Sit all day, then I rush home so I can sit.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah.
Danny
If I come visit you in one of your studios, I'm just looking for a chair.
Brandon
Like, we did the one. I lie. We did the one on one on one. One to one yesterday, and everyone was standing around underneath the hoop, and I was like, nah. Yeah, I ain't standing. I'm sitting.
Danny
Oh, I'll pull a chair out to those things.
Brandon
Yeah, it's pathetic.
Kyle
Standing's a waste. You're not burning calories. You're not comfortable. You should be walking as a man or sitting.
Danny
I think I do burn calories standing.
Brandon
Yeah.
Danny
Shitty.
Brandon Walker
I am at standing how you go home and lay down. Right. You're not a couch user.
Brandon
You go instantly, bad habit.
Danny
Straight to the bed.
Titus
In.
Brandon
Do you go with your jeans on?
Kyle
Never.
Brandon
You take them off.
Kyle
Oh, my God. I hate. I hate jeans.
Brandon Walker
I'll nap in the couch. I fall asleep on the couch in jeans and just nap.
Danny
I napped on the couch yesterday. It was great.
Connor Burns
I'll.
Brandon
I don't. I go in my bed sometimes with jeans.
Connor Burns
Really?
Kyle
I hate the way denim feels on my, like, upper legs.
Danny
And you'll end your night in jeans?
Brandon
Not end, but, like, I'll, I'll, like, go and be, I don't know, from the hours of, like, eight to nine. Then I'm like, all right, I'll be
Brandon Walker
in this until I go to bed.
Brandon
Yeah, I don't.
Brandon Walker
You change. You're Mr. Rogers.
Danny
I. I change into play. I play clothes as soon as I get home.
Titus
Really? What. What are you playing?
Kyle
Yeah, that sounded icky.
Danny
Oh, I got work clothes. I gotta play. The second I get home, the shoes come off, I go barefoot, and I put some sweatpants.
Titus
Your Garfield socks are not your play clothes.
Danny
I wear cartoon shirts. This is my work clothes business. This topps hoodie, this 3x hoodie, and. And these jeans I've worn every day. These are my work clothes.
Brandon
I just imagine Brandon just getting home, getting right into his play clothes, coming back downstairs, and he's just got, like, a little. A bunch of, like, a toy train sits down. All right,
Brandon Walker
I know you're sitting in a turtle sandbox.
Brandon
Got my play clothes.
Danny
Y' all don't change when you get home? No, I change as soon as we wear.
Brandon
Like, I wear jeans or jog, but I'm like, job.
Kyle
I would.
Titus
If I had, like, a suit and tires, I would change a medium immediately.
Danny
I don't think I've ever worn jeans in my house. As soon as jeans come on, it's time to leave.
Titus
Our work clothes are what people change into, Correct?
Brandon
Correct.
Titus
So what my brother, I think when he gets home from work, he's like, oh, nice.
Danny
Jeans, shorts, or usually basketball shorts or sweatpants.
Brandon
It is a very underrated part of this job that we don't respect enough,
Danny
that we just get to dress like this.
Brandon Walker
Wearing jeans on Friday at a work at work was the biggest rush.
Brandon
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Jeans to work.
Brandon
Oh, yeah.
Titus
Yeah.
Kate
Getting to wear a hat all the time.
Brandon
Yeah. Like, oh, yeah. What am I going to wear today? The black sweatshirt, the blue sweatshirt, or the gray sweatshirt? Tough choices.
Danny
Yeah. Have I worn that hoodie this week?
Titus
Yeah.
Nick
You guys will never know the best feeling in the world.
Brandon
Oh, I do.
Nick
Oh, you do?
Brandon
Yeah. When I wear Spanx.
Nick
Yeah, that's right.
Brandon
Spanx.
Nick
How good does it feel?
Brandon
Spanx is incredible.
Nick
The best feeling in the world.
Brandon
Orgasmic.
Nick
It's incredible. And once it's off, you can call me with the coolest opportunity in the world. I'm not.
Brandon Walker
You're not putting it back on.
Nick
Never goes back back on.
Brandon
Now he's humming.
Nick
Second I'm in the door. Right out the sleeve.
Brandon
What are the chances he puts a beard the wrong way again? High.
Nick
High.
Brandon Walker
No, he.
Danny
Look at this.
Cliff Barackman
Look at this.
Danny
Factory over here gave him.
Connor Burns

Danny
You said Bets wanted to be a stander. He's sitting on the floor.
Brandon
Well, look at that chair. That's a.
Danny
There's a chair right behind him.
Brandon
That's a tiny chair. That's a child's chair.
Nick
Big. Do you still wear Spanx ever?
Brandon
No.
Danny
No.
Brandon
I mean, yes. Sorry. Oh, no. Oh, no.
Danny
Zoom in, Mikey.
Titus
Pull it up.
Danny
Pull the pants up.
Brandon
I'll wear Spanx for when I wear a suit.
Nick
Got it.
Brandon
Because that's. I just feel like I look like
Danny
just tightening it up, huh?
Brandon
Yeah, just I. I just never feel comfortable in suits.
Danny
Have you lost any weight?
Brandon
Weight? Not really, but I feel stronger.
Danny
Good, good, good.
Brandon
I. I maybe have more muscle.
Brandon Walker
I don't know.
Brandon
Doing push ups every day with a Chinese workout.
Danny
I'm trying to get control of my diet before I do anything else.
Brandon
Yeah, that's a.
Danny
That's a hard. I've been working on my diet, cuz if I don't. If I don't change my diet, none of it matters.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm. Day 30 was today in a row.
Danny
Wow.
Nick
Of the Chinese workout.
Brandon Walker
That's impressive.
Kyle
And now you're probably motivated to just keep it going. Indefinite.
Brandon
Got it. I think I'm gonna start adding some things.
Brandon Walker
Oh, my God.
Brandon
20 minutes.
Nick
I do think it's cool that you stuck with it. That is hard to stick with something.
Brandon
Trying. It's. Yeah, it feels weird. Like I. Some days will not do it till late and I'll. I'll feel off.
Nick
Yeah.
Brandon
Like I got to do it in the morning.
Nick
Have you heard from the guy anymore? That's. That started it.
Brandon
No, but he had a post the other day. It was like, I've plateaued and my back hurts again. I was like, oh, no. Yeah, bro, I'm.
Danny
You here.
Brandon
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
The man in way better shape is in pain.
Brandon
I check. And he's in a wheelchair. God damn it.
Brandon Walker
The workout killed me. The workout has paralyzed.
Kyle
He quit it.
Brandon
No, he's still doing it. But he like I saw a post. He was just like. Yeah. Plateaued and. And my back pain came back like, oh, man.
Kyle
Okay, so he's not improving and he's injured.
Brandon
Yeah. I'm hoping he turns it around. I hope maybe he's just got to break through.
Cliff Barackman
Yeah.
Brandon
We had a good group today. We had new hire Burns. Burnsy Barstool Burns. I think I'm going to call him Burnsy Connor Burns. White Boy Rick. White Boy Rick does not want us to call him Kevin. So should we call him Kevin?
Danny
Yeah, we can give that to Kevin.
Brandon Walker
Give Kevin to burn.
Brandon
No call.
Danny
Oh, my God.
Brandon
Or Kevin. We call Him. Kevin.
Danny
I think we give. We give Burns the choice.
Brandon
You want to be Kevin Burns to get in here?
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
I gotta feel it out. I don't know. Burnsy kind of feels weird.
Kyle
That's like a Burns. I wouldn't be able to say, but
Brandon
Burns also feels weird.
Kyle
Yeah, it hurts.
Danny
Yeah, Rick is just.
Brandon Walker
That's some high quality.
Brandon
Rick gave me, like, a real, like, how long is this gonna last? I was like, probably like a week or two. Yeah, just call him.
Nick
Good.
Brandon Walker
I had it with Zach also.
Danny
Forever.
Brandon
All right, Connor, those your headphones? Yeah, they might.
Danny
No, no.
Titus
First time.
Connor Burns
Sorry.
Danny
That's all right.
Brandon
Where are your headphones? Oh, they're right there.
Cliff Barackman
To your left.
Brandon
To your right. To your right. To your right.
Cliff Barackman
Right.
Danny
This is a tough. You say this kid Rick.
Brandon Walker
Oh, Burns.
Connor Burns
I'm already tweaking, man.
Danny
You're good.
Brandon
All right, so you don't want to be Connor. Everyone calls you.
Connor Burns
Hold on, hold on.
Brandon
Okay, so that was.
Connor Burns
That was Tate who brought this whole thing up, and these are way too small, and I might have just broken. Broke him. No, that was Tatie brought it up. And I don't care. I'm down with either.
Brandon
Okay, but what about Kevin?
Brandon Walker
Yeah.
Nick
Did you have any nicknames growing up?
Connor Burns
It was always just Burns.
Nick
Okay, so.
Brandon Walker
So what's your middle name?
Danny
Yeah.
Connor Burns
Edward.
Brandon
Oh, Barcelo. Eddie. Barcelo Eddie. Okay, so Burns. It's Connor Burns. Burnsy.
Danny
Whatever you said.
Connor Burns
I'm out on Burnsy.
Brandon
Okay. Out on Burns.
Kyle
Kevin is not your name.
Danny
Why? Are you out of.
Brandon
No, but it's white boy Rick's name.
Brandon Walker
But Rick gave it up.
Connor Burns
I'm out on Burns.
Brandon
Why? Made him give it back.
Brandon Walker
Yeah.
Brandon
Day.
Danny
Yeah.
Connor Burns
I had this one football coach who used to call me that, and my dad hated him, and he hated that, too.
Brandon
So, you know, that's a good. Out on the Burns.
Nick
Out on Burnsy.
Danny
You know, that's making us. Making me want to say Burnsy, probably.
Connor Burns
I don't mind it. I don't mind it. He always did. I don't really.
Danny
Okay. All right, fair enough.
Kate
Bar still burns.
Brandon
CB.
Connor Burns
Yeah, CB's okay.
Brandon Walker
Barstool burns is what they call, like, girls peeing after smokes up.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kyle
All right. So that's your name.
Francis
Yeah.
Brandon
We're excited to have you here, man.
Connor Burns
Yeah, I appreciate it a ton. These past, like, two weeks have just been the wildest two weeks I've had in a long time. And I appreciate it a lot.
Brandon
Really.
Connor Burns
It's a great opportunity, and I'm really excited to be Here.
Brandon Walker
You're welcome.
Brandon
Do you live. Yeah. Do you live in the city or you live in.
Titus
Yes.
Connor Burns
So I live, like, right over by Wrigley now. I moved up here in July after I graduated.
Brandon
Okay, nice. Oh, so you're like, 22?
Danny
23.
Connor Burns
23.
Brandon
Love it.
Deutsch
Yeah.
Brandon
Love it. Get young.
Danny
Yeah. So you're younger than Rick.
Connor Burns
Younger than Rick.
Nick
Nicer. He's very nicer.
Danny
Nicer than Rick, maybe.
Brandon
Do you have a better huddle tape than Rick?
Connor Burns
No, I have a horrible huddle.
Brandon
Okay.
Intern
All right.
Danny
Yeah, more entertaining.
Brandon Walker
It's horrible. Those are your highlights. You got to pick up.
Connor Burns
I think I only have, like, one on there. Or I have zero. I don't really remember. I played football my freshman year, and then that's when it went from, like, not being, like, fun anymore, you know, to, okay, let's be serious. And I hated every second of it. And that's when I got into doing media stuff, and I realized I'm better at talking about football than I am about actually playing it.
Brandon
That's a good realization.
Connor Burns
Yeah.
Brandon
And also, you had the coach calling you Burnsy.
Connor Burns
No, that was not that. This is when I was, like, really young.
Brandon
Oh, wow.
Connor Burns
This. There's roots to it, man.
Danny
Okay.
Kyle
Was it malicious the way he called you Bird?
Connor Burns
No.
Kyle
Why did your dad hate this, man?
Connor Burns
Because I forget why we sucked that year. I do remember that. I don't even remember specifically which coach it was, but I remember my dad just getting in the car after practice one day and just screaming about this. He usually yelled at me. Well, not in a bad way. I love my father death, but, no, he did yell at me a lot because I always up at practice.
Deutsch
It was deserved.
Brandon
We're trying to figure out his. His name.
Connor Burns
How we doing, Connor? Good to meet you.
Danny
Oh, that's Connor. Like Connor.
Brandon Walker
Don't worry, Connor.
Francis
He's.
Brandon Walker
He's an idiot.
Brandon
We do have too many Connors.
Connor Burns
Yeah, you guys do have a lot of Connors.
Nick
Captain Cons Conor.
Brandon
Connor Griffin, Big T Memes.
Danny
Connor Mook.
Nick
Yeah, big.
Brandon Walker
Oh, my God.
Brandon
We have five
Intern
as well.
Brandon
Damn it. Why did we get so many Connors?
Danny
I don't know. I always thought we were collecting jacks.
Nick
Wait, however many Connors? Like, what if we called you D? You know, or, like, whatever the cool 7 for 7 is.
Titus
What was that noise?
Nick
I'm trying to do another, like.
Brandon Walker
Wait a minute. No, no, that might dip.
Titus
Might stick.
Kyle
Hey, that's a good idea.
Danny
Barstow did. No, wait,
Brandon
here comes.
Titus
I hate barstool, but I love D
Brandon
Spelled D.
Kyle
All right, you know what
Nick
I was trying to say.
Danny
Du.
Brandon Walker
What do you think D. K signed
Nick
you with sound like or something?
Brandon
If he was the seventh, it's not the worst.
Connor Burns
It's not the worst, man.
Brandon Walker
Would you rather be that or Kevin?
Connor Burns
Probably Kevin.
Danny
Oh, hey. I was sure you were gonna say duh.
Connor Burns
No, no. And he hates every second of it. And that's the funniest thing ever.
Titus
Did you guys know each other before this?
Connor Burns
No, but we talked on Twitter because so many people just think that he looks exactly like me. And it would always be like, are you White Boy Rick? Or he would get vice versa on his page. And that's how we started talking to each other.
Nick
Other.
Titus
Okay.
Kyle
Are you strictly.
Connor Burns
What is it?
Kyle
Football or all sports lifestyle? Men's performance.
Brandon Walker
Performance.
Connor Burns
Men's wear much there? Not. I mean, not much there.
Brandon
The fit you got on right now, the Air Monarchs with the black socks, these are the statement piece.
Connor Burns
I would put money out there that I have the most comfy feet in the office.
Titus
Right.
Connor Burns
These are the greatest shoes ever.
Brandon
That's crazy. Deutsch is about to make a new brand bracket for that.
Brandon Walker
Really?
Connor Burns
Okay. The Air Monarchs, they're getting.
Brandon Walker
You're like a one seed.
Connor Burns
Yeah, no, I will. I'll take a one seed, 100%. But my content wise, I don't know. I mean, Bears football is always number one. 100%. And then after that, I use. I didn't grow up in a baseball family at all, but over the past five, six years, one of my best friends at college, he really got me into being a guy who watches like every single Cubs game. You know, I used to be, if they're on, toss them on. But now I love them all over. The Bulls and the Blackhawks, even though they both kind of suck. But. Yeah, no, just all over Chicago Sports
Brandon
in Illinois State Rollbird.
Connor Burns
Yes. Illinois State Roll Birds. Big game tonight. Nit after shitting the bed and Arch Madness. But I have a problem with them because I'm buddies with a couple of the guys on the team and I'm like. I can't really express how I truly feel sometimes.
Brandon
Yeah, no, you gotta. That's tough. Yeah.
Kate
Start doing Hoosiers content.
Titus
Just like. What do you wanna. What do you want to say about him?
Connor Burns
You see, it's hard. Shout out to my boy, Ty Pence. He's a dog.
Brandon
Oh, is he the one who. The bed.
Connor Burns
No, he did not. He is a baller, man. It's just. It's really disappointing. What happened? They put in all this Money. I became an nil donor. All this. They brought in so many donations, and then. And just. Absolutely. The bed. They brought back all these guys. Johnny Kinzinger. His brother's on Wisconsin.
Brandon
Okay.
Connor Burns
He's a Badger, and he got offers to go and play there, and instead he decided to come back, and it was this big old thing, you know, One more year with all the boys.
Brandon
Did you guys win the conference? Regular season.
Connor Burns
Preseason favorites, everything. We get to our first game of the conference tournament and get smoked by Northern Iowa. And we had a buy, too, which makes it even worse.
Brandon
That does suck.
Connor Burns
Yeah.
Brandon
That's brutal.
Connor Burns
Yeah.
Brandon
By the way, blue diamond almonds and more at the. Are the flavorful nut mix. Mixed nuts, Leveled up almonds, cashews and pistachios, and three signature blue diamond flavors. Honey roasted smokehouse roasted sea salt. Freshness guaranteed. 5 grams of protein per serving. Other mixed nuts are stale, bland. They can't match blue diamonds. Flavor and freshness upgrade to the flavor nut mix. Blue diamond almonds and more. All right, well, we're. We're pumped to have you.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
I got to figure out this name thing.
Connor Burns
I. I think.
Danny
I think it works.
Brandon
I'm gonna call you Burns.
Kyle
Burns.
Connor Burns
The Burns even slips every once in a while. I don't mind it.
Kyle
Yeah.
Danny
I can't be Burns without Burnsy. Kind of.
Connor Burns
No, it slips in there. Yeah, Every once in a while. But, no, I think that Burns is just cemented.
Brandon
Were your parents pumped that you got this job?
Connor Burns
Yes.
Brandon
Okay. That would have been great if they were like, that's a bad career choice. And then we called you Burnsy and really made enemies. That would have been.
Connor Burns
No, he was very excited.
Brandon
Okay. That's awesome. That's awesome. Okay, well, pick one.
Kyle
Data or degeneracy?
Connor Burns
Data or degeneracy? What are we talking about here?
Titus
Straightforward question.
Connor Burns
Probably degenerate.
Kyle
Categorically. When you cover sports, do you think you do it more from. Oh, you like.
Connor Burns
Oh, more degeneracy.
Brandon
1,000%.
Connor Burns
You know, I don't try.
Kyle
Unhealthy?
Connor Burns
A bit. Yeah. I don't try and be like a know it all, you know, stats nerd, whatever. But I like to have a good eye on this team and, you know, everybody who's on here and everything. But no, I don't try and come off as, like, a nerd or anything like that.
Brandon
Have you done any draft prep?
Connor Burns
A little bit. I'm kind of falling in love with Kaden McDonald in the first round.
Brandon
Okay.
Connor Burns
But I'm starting there, and if we don't draft a defensive lineman with our first round pick.
Brandon
Pick.
Connor Burns
Not good. Not good.
Danny
Are you moving to northwest Indiana when the Bears do.
Connor Burns
So I actually went out there and
Brandon
he did it with. With our guy.
Deutsch
Gfed?
Connor Burns
Yeah.
Danny
Oh, yeah.
Brandon
He went. Drove from Soldier Field to northwest Indiana
Connor Burns
and we did a tour of the town. And I will not be moving to northwest Indiana. Not shot at anybody from there.
Brandon
The Bears aren't either.
Deutsch
No.
Connor Burns
God. They're going to Arlington Heights. It's what Once JB and the boys in Springfield.
Danny
Finally. What. What is.
Brandon Walker
I don't know, but he seems to be walking by intentionally. Is he going somewhere? Where's he going?
Kate
Turning right back around.
Brandon
Why is this man following Mincy?
Brandon Walker
Yeah, where is Mincy?
Danny
Second guy.
Brandon Walker
So we just fell. He did a lap just to.
Danny
He did. He just circled around.
Brandon
This guy lost.
Kate
His plan was to walk past and he doesn't know what to do now that he already did it.
Danny
What?
Brandon Walker
Oh, did he bring a friend in and he's like, I'm gonna.
Nick
Was that a walk by and get him?
Connor Burns
Yeah.
Danny
What was the picture of him?
Kate
Jacob's painting of him.
Brandon
Oh. Oh, he's putting up in Jacob's wall,
Brandon Walker
but that's all that's over there, that stairwell.
Nick
Oh, is that guy the artist? The art?
Brandon Walker
No, Jacob did it. Oh, yeah.
Danny
Jacob has a gallery.
Nick
Yeah, I know that.
Brandon
All right, Burns.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
Thank you.
Titus
Yes.
Brandon
We're excited.
Danny
And we're out on do thanks to
Brandon
dude is on the table. Kevin is still very much in the running too.
Danny
I don't mind. Kevin.
Brandon
Yeah, Kevin kind of.
Danny
It's shocking. We don't have a Kevin, Kev.
Kyle
We have seven Marshall.
Danny
Kev.
Connor Burns
You could just call me White Boy Burns, too.
Brandon
White Boy Burn.
Nick
That has a ring to it.
Connor Burns
I'm kidding, Ricky. I'm kidding.
Brandon Walker
It's called Rick.
Danny
Kidding.
Brandon
Yeah. Oh, Rick is burning. Or Rick could just be a Connor.
Danny
We could just change Rick's name.
Connor Burns
That works too.
Danny
Can we call Rick?
Kate
I already did it once.
Connor Burns
Yeah, he looks like a Connor, too. Well, he looks.
Brandon
He does. You are kind of a.
Danny
He looks just like you.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
So he does look like a.
Danny
Okay, exactly.
Connor Burns
But like, if you saw the two of us standing next to each other, do would you think that one of our names is Connor? Rick? Like, which one do we look like more? I think it's Connor 100%.
Danny
Yeah, but I mean, Kevin would be in the guessing.
Brandon Walker
Yeah.
Brandon
Are you willing to maybe lighten your hair a little bit bit? Because that's the only thing that's kind of missing in the summer.
Connor Burns
It usually does get lighter.
Brandon
Beautiful.
Connor Burns
I just need the sun, man.
Brandon
I just. I like this that we just.
Connor Burns
I also think that he has more hair than me, too, so.
Brandon
Well, Rick's a little intimidated by you, and I told him. I was like, listen, man, this is a.
Brandon Walker
A.
Brandon
A moment like you. You bring in another one, either you're up for the competition or not.
Connor Burns
I said that we're going to be best friends. It's just going to take a bit.
Brandon
Maybe enemies.
Connor Burns
Yeah. I asked him if he wanted to go and film content at Cubs opening day with me, and he said yes.
Brandon
Okay.
Connor Burns
So we're. We're starting the friendship slowly.
Titus
Yeah. He looks like a big fan.
Brandon
Yeah, he looks really happy.
Connor Burns
See? Double thumbs up. I love it.
Brandon
All right. Thanks, Connor.
Connor Burns
Appreciate you guys.
Brandon
We got to figure this out, man.
Titus
In front of him. Yeah, thanks. Thanks, Cape.
Brandon
Yep.
Titus
His fan was just right in front of him.
Nick
Funny.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
Was a big fan.
Nick
Big fan.
Brandon
Big fan. Burner. Burner.
Kyle
Burner.
Brandon
Burner's not burner.
Danny
Burner still burner.
Nick
No, there's that comedian who goes by Burner.
Brandon Walker
Hannah Burner.
Brandon
Oh, look at this.
Danny
We're almost there.
Nick
They're cooking.
Brandon
I Now Iowa is purple.
Danny
I don't know.
Brandon
And why is Iowa purple? That looks like northern isles.
Brandon Walker
Oh, no.
Danny
Oh, those teams shouldn't be beside each other. Right.
Kyle
Northern Iowa would be purple.
Cliff Barackman
Oh.
Danny
Oh, no.
Titus
Yeah, that's right. He's got the. He's got it right.
Brandon
Oh, he nailed Clemson.
Nick
Oh, Florida's perfect. That's very Florida.
Brandon Walker
It's like a kindergarten class.
Danny
It's more Miami than.
Brandon
But remember, he's trying his hardest. It was so genuine. He's like, I am trying my hardest. Little ran out of little.
Brandon Walker
Little sometimes running out of space and crunching the letters.
Brandon
Louisville. Okay.
Brandon Walker
You know when they, like, let, like, a dying child design a shirt? Like, that's what this is.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
Josh Allen will be wearing this bracket on the way to the game. Damn, he's good.
Nick
It's perfect.
Titus
When I went to the. The bathroom, as I was coming back, Deutsch, I. I, like, stopped to look at it, and Deutsch is like, do you get it now?
Danny
Yeah. Said that to me, too.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
Oh, you see the vision?
Titus
Yeah, I do. Now I get it.
Brandon
How is he going to space the other side, though?
Titus
Which we never didn't get. We never was. Just more of the why.
Brandon
It does look cool. Like, zoomed out with all the colors.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Is that.
Brandon
Is that okay? Yeah, I kind of.
Brandon Walker
That's a Boss talking to. Oh, yeah, you zoom out the colors.
Brandon
Oh, like, cool colors. Deutsch.
Danny
Thanks, Dan.
Brandon
What is he.
Danny
So y' all kind of want them all to fall at once, though?
Brandon Walker
Yes.
Nick
I was just thinking, if a meteor
Brandon
booms over, it's also so funny that, like, when he finishes this at, like, 9pm tonight, he's gonna need a beer. Yeah, he's gonna be thirsty.
Kyle
I gotta drink. Howard,
Brandon
Someone passed me. Umbc. So thirsty.
Brandon Walker
Who was the bearded man? Mincy was walking. That was a weird moment.
Kyle
Yeah. What was he doing?
Brandon
These are our best guys right here. See, this is. This is also not to bring it back to it, but, like, when awful announcing writes these all article. All these articles, like, barstool trashes Ken Rosenthal. Like, look at us. Yeah. This is like a who the cares. Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Like, do you want these guys out in the wild?
Brandon
Yeah, but, like, do you actually care that I said something bad about Ken Rosenthal? I'm overseeing a beer bracket right after
Titus
we talked to the Bigfoot expert.
Brandon
Right. Well, how are we taking any of this?
Titus
Told us that he smelled Bigfoot three times, but seen him twice. Lousy sightings.
Brandon
What was. What was the.
Danny
What was the.
Kyle
Smelled him thrice.
Danny
Dog crap.
Brandon
That's been my day. Then you're like, yeah, barstool sports trashes. Kevin. Who cares?
Danny
Free smells. Two sites.
Brandon Walker
He's got to get those stats up.
Brandon
Yeah, well, we tried.
Danny
We called him because of Ohio, and
Brandon
he couldn't need him to see one,
Danny
so it couldn't be less impressed. With eight sightings in two days in
Kate
Ohio, he was definitely gatekeeping for that part. He had to have been, wouldn't you? That'd be like a drop everything.
Danny
Yeah. I think I got to get on a plane and get to East.
Brandon
This guy deserves to see one. Stephen, we do. DraftKings.
Danny
You got it.

Titus
Well, he's so pure.
Brandon
Great. He's just great.
Francis
We have a train that runs often directly outside. Does that shake the wall at all? No.
Danny
Right? No. But I think if we're on the wall over there, maybe.
Brandon Walker
But I think the adhesive might not hold.
Nick
Kb, how you been doing with the train?
Kyle
It's nothing to me.
Nick
Okay, so you're already passed it out.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kyle
No, no issue.
Brandon
Oh, you live near a train now?
Kyle
Yeah, yeah.
Brandon Walker
Oh, yeah. You weren't here.
Danny
The.
Brandon Walker
You're on the platform. You could see as your.
Brandon
Oh, yeah, I remember.
Titus
See the cr.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
What about the cats said that Cats
Francis
adjusted to the train.
Kyle
Oh, the cats love it. We have more space. They're having a blast.
Brandon
Do they have their own room still a bigger room.
Danny
Oh, wow.
Kyle
They have more. Yeah, yeah. They're loving. They're loving it.
Brandon Walker
Do they use their room?
Kyle
They use everything equally. Yeah.
Brandon
They sleep in your bed.
Kyle
Piper. Always the youngest. Once in a blue.
Brandon Walker
I love how you always say the youngest because you want to protect its identity. Zuckerberg putting the emoji over his baby.
Danny
Yeah. I don't know why, but Troy looks especially elementary.
Brandon Walker
Well, that's because it's like a boy's
Brandon
name now it really looks like a boy.
Kyle
Now we're at a preschool.
Brandon Walker
Troy.
Nick
Troy. What did you bring in for show and tell?
Titus
Why would Nebraska be blue?
Brandon
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Does he only have so many colors?
Nick
No, wait, I think those were already. He didn't color this rectangle work.
Brandon
No, I know, but he had the colored markers.
Nick
Yes.
Brandon
No, he had the colored rectangle. He could have picked any.
Titus
Could have picked a red rectangle and
Brandon
then Troy black or something. I don't think he has black.
Titus
Doesn't have black.
Brandon
Black. Is it. Is she. You need black.
Brandon Walker
There's a lot.
Brandon
Yeah, because there's. That's just like a good.
Danny
That's basketball.
Intern
He's working as hard as he can.
Connor Burns
He's working
Danny
the end of McNe.
Brandon
He definitely forgot that.
Danny
Wait, all his big hands are like that.
Brandon Walker
Oh, yeah, he does.
Danny
Lightning bolt Nebraska.
Titus
Oh, go find.
Brandon
Yeah. He doesn't know how to draw a net. Let's go up to. Wait, what's unc? Let's see. Let's see. Reveal on unc.
Nick
Bubble ends are sneaky.
Brandon
Here we go.
Brandon Walker
Here it comes.
Brandon
He just never gets that second part all the way down.
Cliff Barackman
Point.
Brandon Walker
Never touch.
Brandon
Oh,
Titus
why would you not be blue?
Danny
What?
Brandon
What's going on here?
Titus
Oh, I can't look away.
Intern
Is it a pattern?
Brandon
I don't think.
Cliff Barackman
No way would he.
Kyle
Patterns.
Connor Burns
Wait.
Nick
Unless he just.
Brandon
Wait.
Nick
He might have gone the order.
Brandon
You might be right. Oh, what do you mean?
Kyle
Pattern?
Brandon
No, it's not. No, it's not. It's not. Cuz you see green. Green right there.
Intern
He was doing an order.
Brandon
Yeah. Yeah.
Danny
North Dakota State, Michigan State. Got their colors right.
Intern
It's got to be. He's only got, you know, 10 greens, 10 reds. But. Yeah, why would he.
Danny
It's like he doesn't have orange or black.
Intern
I mean, he is working as hard as he can.
Titus
So it will be nice to have like a big bracket.
Danny
Yeah.
Titus
Display in the office.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
So that this will serve as that.
Brandon
I guess for a guy to just be drinking it.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
That'll be the best shirt.
Titus
It's the only drinkable bracket I've ever seen.
Brandon
UNC Purples drive me nuts.
Brandon Walker
Listen, if they win them eliminated, his
Francis
ends are M's, but he doesn't finish it.
Kate
Yeah, it's like 2/3.
Brandon Walker
You're right.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Brandon Walker
That Troy is.
Kyle
He's got 66% of an M. All right, Troy. Good beer can.
Brandon Walker
Troy can.
Kyle
Good work, Troy.
Kate
Looks like the toys are US F.
Brandon
Thank you for sharing with the class, Troy. You can go back down. Sit in your seat.
Brandon Walker
I bought a can. All right, Troy. Very good, Troy.
Kyle
Ronnie's gonna love it.
Kate
That's a really good vcu, though.
Nick
Yes, it is.
Kate
That looks typed.
Nick
It doesn't match the others at all.
Brandon
It's typed.
Kate
Yeah, it typed,
Brandon
Oh, Illinois's green.
Titus
No.
Brandon
What?
Brandon Walker
No, that's the exact opposite of, oh,
Brandon
Illinois's green and purple. Do you.
Nick
That's better for me?
Brandon Walker
No idea.
Brandon
Gorge. Get back in here. Whoa. Come on. What is that.
Nick
For when the shirt comes out That'll be even more confusing to people.
Brandon
Oh, wait, there's some orange.
Brandon Walker
It's orange.
Danny
Yeah. The colors are okay.
Cliff Barackman
Yeah.
Brandon
I thought it looked purple for a sec. What hap. What. Why is Illinois green?
Titus
What are we doing with the colors?
Brandon
What's Illinois doing green? Why is UNC purple?
Deutsch
Okay, I'll tell you why. Because you. You guys are rushing me.
Brandon
Oh, we didn't mean to rush you.
Deutsch
Oh, we. We have. I just found those in, like, the hallway where you could. There's a bunch of stuff.
Brandon
All right. We got to get more.
Deutsch
There's name tags.
Cliff Barackman
Yeah.
Deutsch
There's only four different colors of name tags. If it was, like, red and it worked for Louisville, I was going to leave. Leave it. If not, I was going to cut it out.
Brandon Walker
Okay.
Deutsch
So now I feel like we have a production going on. So you want us to back.
Brandon Walker
Like, didn't you already. Don't you already have these all written?
Deutsch
I had these written, but, like, I was going to cut out the ones where the colors don't make sense.
Brandon Walker
Okay.
Deutsch
Now I feel like we have the production line going.
Nick
I like it now.
Deutsch
I'm not throwing up my best work right now.
Brandon Walker
I think it's your best work.
Brandon
Well, we can. We can go back and clean it up, right?
Deutsch
We can go back and clean it up.
Brandon
All right. So can I buy you some more?
Brandon Walker
I like how raw this is.
Kyle
Me too.
Danny
Do.
Brandon
Yeah.
Danny
I think there's.
Brandon
But, like, Unc. Can we just get UNC blue? Like, that will drive me.
Nick
I kind of love it.
Brandon
All right, fine, Fine. I won't mess with this.
Brandon Walker
Put out a purple shirt that says unc.
Brandon
All right, you're right. You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.
Kate
Yeah.
Deutsch
How do you do it?
Kyle
You're doing great. Yeah. It's coming together.
Brandon
One, and you're trying your hardest.
Deutsch
Appreciate it.
Brandon
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
It is an ambitious project, and I think it looks awesome.
Titus
Go to the Illinois can.
Kyle
It's us.
Brandon Walker
The one vertical.
Titus
If Illinois wins it all and we throw that on a.
Brandon
But that actually is kind of special.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
Like, you'll never see another green.
Titus
That's the only one in the world.
Brandon
Yeah.
Deutsch
What do you think now?
Brandon
I think we have to root for the weirdest color combination to win it all.
Nick
I love it. I think it looks more fun on the wall with all the colors.
Deutsch
Okay.
Nick
It's like a bag of skittles.
Titus
We noticed your ends are your capital ends. Has anyone ever pointed that out to you? You, like, they're interesting.
Kyle
They're like a light one we love.
Brandon
They're perfect.
Deutsch
Okay.
Brandon
Okay. You get. You're like 75% of an M. Okay.
Deutsch
Yeah.
Titus
Yeah.
Deutsch
I've never had any complaints about them.
Brandon
Complaints? Not a complaint.
Titus
Just that I bought that the second mc.
Deutsch
You don't think that looks kind of like a lightning bolt? That's what I was. I was going for a lightning bolt.
Brandon
Oh, hell yeah.
Titus
Oh, hell yeah.
Nick
I like it.
Titus
That's sweet.
Brandon Walker
No, you're doing. It's.
Brandon
I'm so excited for the first beer to crack tomorrow.
Deutsch
I know. Oh, I can't wait.
Titus
Oh, man.
Brandon Walker
So when you're all done with this, how bad are you going to want a beer?
Deutsch
Pretty bad.
Cliff Barackman
Yeah.
Deutsch
Yeah, for sure.
Cliff Barackman
Yeah.
Deutsch
I mean, it's going to take a while. It's going to take me a while to do this.
Brandon
Yeah, No, I said like 9pm okay. But you have all the. As long as it's done by the tip tomorrow.
Titus
Right?
Brandon
We're good.
Deutsch
That was the plan.
Brandon
We're good.
Deutsch
I have some more shelfing coming. I might need some more command strips. I didn't know they're going to need two command strips per shelf. So are.
Titus
Are you worried about them rolling off the shelving that you have?
Deutsch
I'm putting. I'm putting tape at the front of the shelf, so hopefully they don't.
Brandon
Yeah, that would be disaster if we come in tomorrow. There's cans everywhere.
Deutsch
That happened in my apartment one year. I was just hearing phantom. Phantom drops. And there's just beer all over. There's normally just beer in my living room carpet. There was beer all over the guest.
Danny
Guest bedroom, so it's beer everywhere. And I was just.
Deutsch
Beer everywhere.
Brandon
Wait, you did it in your guest bedroom?
Deutsch
Yeah.
Brandon
Did you have any guests during the tournament?
Deutsch
No, I never had any guests.
Brandon
Oh, okay. Oh, you just had.
Deutsch
They just slept on the couch. There's nothing in there except for just, like, junk. Just a beer wall.
Brandon
That would be funny if you had a guest and you're like, you're gonna have to sleep on the couch. I. I got my bracket. Yeah. I can't.
Deutsch
Yeah.
Titus
I think if this goes well, you got to do it for, like, every playoff.
Brandon
Yeah. I mean, World Cup.
Titus
Yeah, World Cup.
Brandon
World cup will be off.
Titus
Awesome. I love playoffs.
Deutsch
Stuff like this.
Danny
All right.
Titus
Do, like, seven Beers for the NBA playoffs.
Brandon
NBA.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah, the Seven Beers.
Brandon Walker
Best series.
Titus
Amazing. Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah.
Deutsch
That could keep me around for a little while.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
Job security.
Danny
Worry about that.
Brandon
Oh, the Seven Beers will rock.
Brandon Walker
Who's your favorite baseball team?
Deutsch
I don't really care that much.
Brandon Walker
Okay, never mind.
Brandon
What would you do? Would you drink? Well, how would you do the seven beers?
Danny
I think you just.
Brandon Walker
Seven of each just go by.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon Walker
Whoever's been drank. Because the goal is to be undrank. A champion is always.
Titus
Yeah, true.
Danny
Once you get your fourth beer drink, you're. You're done, right?
Titus
Yeah, but it would be nice.
Brandon
Look at the end of the four beers, the playoffs. It's like. Oh, the Avalanche. 141 in the first.
Cliff Barackman
First.
Deutsch
There's bigger clear shelves I've come across.
Danny
Yeah.
Kyle
Longer, longer.
Brandon Walker
Those are pretty small.
Danny
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Titus
He'll think of it. But, like, don't.
Brandon Walker
Just eventually. Maybe like a magnetized kind of board so you can arrange to. How you want.
Deutsch
Yeah, that would be easier.
Brandon
We could get. Listen, I'm invested.
Titus
I want more brackets already. We haven't even started this one.
Danny
Whatever you need, you'll get.
Deutsch
I appreciate it, guys. The. The challenging part is putting the electrical tape, like, into the actual bra, I guess, to show where it's moving.
Brandon Walker
A lot of measuring. I'm sure.
Deutsch
A lot of. I got a Amazon day measuring tape.
Brandon
Okay.
Danny
I bet we had a measuring tape somewhere.
Deutsch
Oh, I just kind of wanted my own for my dad.
Danny
Fair enough.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, if he's going to be the bracket guy.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
One, he's got to be able.
Danny
Get him the best.
Brandon
Have his own tools.
Brandon Walker
Have you guys talked to Deutsch since St. Patrick's Day weekend?
Brandon
I have in passing.
Brandon Walker
Oh, how was it?
Deutsch
Yeah, I came. I came.
Brandon
Oh, yeah, we did.
Connor Burns
On Monday.
Deutsch
Came on and talked about it.
Brandon
Yeah. A great holiday.
Deutsch
I didn't go out yesterday.
Brandon
Yeah, so I had a question about that when we. It was Tuesday before you started working here. You said you'd only, like, drink like once a week.
Deutsch
Yeah, I've been out of control since.
Brandon
Okay, all right. All right. So I was wondering that, cuz, like,
Brandon Walker
how many days a week has it been since you've moved here?
Deutsch
Would I move here? February 1st, 2nd or something like that. Super Bowl.
Brandon
You're gonna tell me. I don't know.
Connor Burns
What.
Deutsch
What was the date of the Super Bowl?
Danny
The 6th.
Deutsch
February. Yeah, so I've been going out, like, at least five or six nights a week since then. I need to get it. I need to get it back to, like, two, too.
Brandon
It's a good thing summer's not about to roll around.
Deutsch
Yeah.
Titus
Slow down.
Danny
I'm sure.
Brandon Walker
Look at FSC.
Danny
Tweet.
Titus
Great performance in the Pros vs Joe's, by the way.
Brandon
Yeah, I Was.
Titus
You're one of the few bright spots on the Joes.
Deutsch
I was surprised. My legs felt fine, but I want to get. Yeah, I'm looking to get back into it a little bit.
Brandon
All right. Get back out there.
Intern
All right.
Deutsch
Thanks, guys.
Brandon
Deutsch.
Brandon Walker
Oh, what a likable guy.
Brandon
He's so perfect. Are you talking about Hulk?
Danny
No,
Brandon
he's so perfect. He's just the bracket guy. The beer bracket guy.
Brandon Walker
We also has beer Battleship.
Brandon
Yep.
Titus
He's such a nice guy too.
Brandon Walker
Yeah. The nice.
Intern
Yes.
Titus
I thought he'd be right. He presents as like, kind of weird when you first meet. Meet him, but.
Brandon
Well, he is weird still.
Brandon Walker
Oh, phenomenal.
Titus
But I think he's.
Brandon
It's a good weird.
Francis
Yeah.
Kate
Yeah.
Kyle
I've been quiet, but I. I'm still to this day just. Just as wild as I've ever been.
Brandon
Oh, yeah.
Kyle
Contain myself now around him.
Brandon
He's my hero.
Kyle
Something. I don't know what it is. I know what it is, but it's more. It's something else too.
Nick
Uhhuh.
Brandon
Yeah. There's something to him. Him that is just like irresistible.
Titus
I thought. I guess. Yeah, he is weird. I thought. I thought there was a fear that, like, once he got into the mix.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
There'd be too much of it. Like seeing him every day would be like.
Brandon
He's a real.
Titus
Too much. And that's the exact opposite.
Brandon
He knows his place.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
So perfectly. And doesn't push it to places that it doesn't need to be. Yeah. He's great at that. Like. Yeah. He's not just. Just being weird all the time. He's a normal dude who is weird, but in a great way.
Titus
He also waits to be called on.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
He'll just go. If you never talk to him, he'll just go sit right over there.
Brandon
Yeah.
Titus
For days at a time.
Kyle
He'll go bend and.
Titus
Yeah.
Kyle
On the other side.
Brandon
Yeah.
Kyle
Yeah.
Titus
He's incredible. I love him.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brandon
Greatest free agent pickup.
Titus
I think so. I think so. Go.
Kate
Most beard chuggers are like hardos. Meanwhile, he's coloring and he's the nicest guy ever. I think that's it.
Brandon
Five. Five nights a week. Cuz I was thinking about.
Kyle
He's been out of control.
Brandon
Control, out of control. But again, it's out of control. Is just going silent. Just getting bombed and going silent. There's a great. In control. Yeah. Like that would. It wouldn't work for him if he was like a crazy, boisterous, like insane drunk. It wouldn't work.
Titus
Yeah.
Brandon
No beers is proac.
Kyle
He's got.
Titus
I imagine he has more bars to hit here, more people to go out with other than this high school football coach at the.
Brandon Walker
Yeah, this is all fun.
Danny
We have a constant stream of.
Brandon
Well, yeah, he's kind of living like, you know what, in college, when, like you lived with your. Your buddies and you're in college, it's like you could always, no matter what night of week, you could just find someone who'd want to go out. He's basically doing that again.
Titus
Yeah, yeah.
Brandon
Where it's like he can just cycle through the whole office. Be like, you want to go out on a Wednesday? Our concierge, he's our welcoming.
Danny
Makes it happen for everybody.
Brandon
We do have a great welcoming party now. Him and K. And almost got more
Danny
welcomers than we have.
Brandon
Yeah, yeah. Because it is a good skill where it's like someone comes and they're like, oh, barstool's so crazy. Like, go out. It's like, I'm going home, dude.
Titus
But these guys, they'll go out with.
Brandon
They'll go. They'll take you.
Danny
We really are turning into the foremost beer drinking company in the world.
Brandon
Who are bringing back beer. Oh, Penn. He nailed Penn. All right.
Brandon Walker
All right, Kyle, have fun.
Brandon
All right. See you, Kyle.
Titus
See you, Kyle.
Danny
See those goats?
Brandon
Remember to text me when the 133s start.
Brandon Walker
I'm so excited for him.
Intern
What time was his flight that he just sprinted out of here?
Brandon Walker
It's soon.
Francis
He.
Brandon Walker
He is the opposite of me.
Danny
He should have 2:30 probably.
Cliff Barackman
Yeah,
Titus
yeah.
Brandon Walker
He would be devastated though, if you
Danny
left at 2:30 like that or if you left a 205. What time would your flight be? 8:30.
Brandon Walker
No, if I left at 2:05 from here.
Danny
Yeah. Six. Six.
Brandon
Yeah,
Danny
yeah, yeah.
Brandon Walker
And I'd be on pins and needles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man.
Danny
Have any more ads?
Brandon
No, I think that's it.
Danny
All right. No more yak this week. We'll see you Monday. Wait, some of us will see you Monday and see us on mostly tomorrow. And then we'll be streaming from the cave all day.
Brandon
Yeah. And Brandon will be streaming with us Thursday and Friday, coincidentally, when Dave will be here.
Danny
I was. I was pimping out the stream and telling everybody to watch. You're. You're throwing me under the bus. Oh, you told me to have energy today and I did. And you repaid me.
Brandon
You did actually have great energy.
Danny
I know. And then you repay me. Throwing me right under the bus.
Brandon
I appreciate it. I gave you a punch pump up before I was like, I want some good. Brandon. Today you were great.
Danny
Yeah, I brought the energy and, and what did I get for it?
Brandon
Throwing under the bus.
Danny
Right under the bus.
Brandon
What happens if Dave stays through Sunday?
Danny
I didn't say I'm not coming Saturday or Sunday. You just said that.
Brandon Walker
What are you shopping for today?
Danny
I don't know. I can't wait to get up there. Kind of find out when I get there.
Brandon
Oh, you need some more stuff. It's been almost four days.
Danny
Yeah. But I'm itching to open something so I'll probably open a couple of tops boxes.
Brandon
Oh.
Danny
Cause I haven't had a chase in a while. While.
Francis
What's your ideal pull?
Danny
Just, I, I, I mean if I could get. I've been opening the golf boxes looking for a Tiger auto. There's only 25 though.
Brandon Walker
So you'll get one, I'm sure.
Danny
Yeah, I think two have been claimed.
Brandon
And how much those boxes go for?
Danny
165 bucks a piece.
Brandon
Where can I buy them?
Danny
Jim and Steve's.
Brandon
Where else could I buy them?
Danny
I don't know where are you trying to say?
Brandon
I just want to, I would love to get a Tiger auto and eat the.
Danny
No, I'm aware that there's a fucking Michael Jordan rookie in there. That was my dream and you just piss on it.
Brandon
You can. I already told you that's yours.
Danny
Yeah, but you haven't officially yet.
Brandon
Yeah, no, the stipulation is if you ever try to resell it, I buy it back for a dollar. Otherwise it's yours.
Danny
I can walk out of here with that today.
Brandon
100%. But if I, if I, if, if I ever catch wind that you're trying to sell it, it's mine.
Danny
I don't collect a cell.
Brandon
I, I understand but I'm just letting you know that part. I think that's a fair deal. I'm not going to take money from you for Brandon.
Brandon Walker
That just means it's yours.
Titus
Yeah, you should sell it, Brandon.
Brandon
He would
Brandon Walker
if you brought that up to Jim and Steve's and you offered to buy it. No, he said you could have anything in this store.
Brandon
I would never could have the store.
Danny
Oh, they got like 30 of them, dude.
Brandon Walker
Do they?
Danny
No.
Brandon
Jim and Steve's?
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
Do you, you know Jim and Steve?
Danny
Jim. Jim is dead. It was Jim and Steve. It was his dad and his son. The son is now Steve is Steve.
Brandon
He's become son's.
Danny
Jim.
Brandon Walker
Son has become Jim.
Danny
But it's Steve's shop. But he started with his dad.
Brandon
Does Steve Have a son.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
Jim Jr. Is his name Jim.
Danny
I assume Jay's J.R. jim's in the name.
Brandon
I love that.
Danny
Yeah.
Brandon
And then he's got to have JR and jw.
Danny
Huh?
Brandon
If they just keep going back and
Danny
forth, I think they might for the
Brandon
rest of the, you know, time.
Danny
I think they might. But yeah, it's Steve and JR now. But they kept name Jim and Steve's. I love them. They're great.
Brandon Walker
Do you have a deal worked out if like you talk about them so much?
Danny
No. Shockingly up here because Brandon, shockingly haven't given me for all this promotion. Not a goddamn thing.
Brandon
Tell them B Dub sent you.
Cliff Barackman
Yeah, that'd be awesome.
Brandon Walker
Awesome.
Danny
Yeah.
Intern
They put a bunch of for you aside so you can come get it.
Danny
Yeah, of course they do, TJ but can you just let me bust the balls for a second? They've also given me.
Brandon Walker
Oh, my God.
Brandon
My God.
Brandon Walker
Undrinkable.
Brandon
That is going to be the best shirt ever.
Intern
Be pretty cool.
Brandon Walker
Really cool.
Brandon
Oh, my Do. Come here.
Danny
Do.
Brandon
Let me see another one. Do we have another one?
Intern
Just some guy just made it.
Kyle
Zach.
Titus
I Wonder child.
Brandon
Zack, back.
Brandon Walker
My God. A little smaller maybe, but deut.
Danny
Oh, I think it's perfect.
Nick
Yeah.
Intern
Like a box logo, like chest.
Brandon
Check this out.
Titus
Look at this.
Brandon
This is what we're going to do for the champion.
Brandon Walker
Undrinkable.
Deutsch
That's pretty good.
Brandon Walker
Awesome.
Titus
What are you going to do with the can that goes Undrank talking to Mike?
Deutsch
That's a good.
Danny
That's.
Deutsch
I'd probably use it to barter with somebody.
Brandon
No, I. I think. I think we've got to start another, like, level above it with all the champions.
Deutsch
That's a good idea.
Brandon
So like, we have every champion in every sport this year. Oh, yeah, the Undrank wall.
Brandon Walker
But I'm interested in the barter that you were talking about.
Brandon
Yeah.
Deutsch
So, like, if Ohio State won.
Titus
Sure.
Deutsch
I'd like trade you that for like a Donnie jersey.
Titus
Oh, okay. One of my three Donnie jerseys.
Kate
Yeah.
Deutsch
Whoever want to try to get something
Danny
out of you own one jersey. He's never given you the other two.
Titus
I would. I would want you to send the can to the school so we could
Brandon Walker
put in the rafters can hanging in the right.
Titus
In fact.
Brandon
Yeah, we gotta hand our hang our cans. I would love to see all the champions from a given year hanging in the raft.
Titus
I was gonna say, if Ohio State does win the national championship, I will personally guarantee that we could hang the can in the Shawnstein center rafters.
Deutsch
That would be huge.
Brandon
But yeah, no, but dude, think about it. It's like, who won this year? There they are hanging.
Deutsch
What about like a really nice, tastefully done trophy case?
Brandon
That would work too.
Cliff Barackman
Yeah.
Brandon
You. Yeah, Lock and key. It's like we make a big ceremony. Hey, we're putting them in the.
Danny
I think that would be red velvet. Like where the tunnel sign is. There's just a. There's a trophy case.
Brandon Walker
Wait. Yeah, that actually.
Kate
Security guard.
Titus
That would look sick. Really fucking cool.
Brandon Walker
What if it's a fridge with a glass fridge front?
Deutsch
Wow, that would be good.
Danny
All the ideas.
Brandon
Oh, my God. We got this. I would love to have a visual representation of every champion. This barely made it.
Brandon Walker
Oh, boy, do I need them to win.
Danny
St. Mary's barely getting there.
Brandon
Deut. Do you realize what. What. What has happened occurred today on this. On this yak.
Deutsch
No.
Brandon
We are never going to have. Have a playoffs again without a bracket.
Brandon Walker
You have a job for life.
Brandon
You are. We are beer bracketing every single playoffs. Little League, World Series with some Pepsis, Capri Suns.
Deutsch
That's a good idea.
Brandon
Oh, man.
Brandon Walker
Dude, I need masters. I need 75, some kids with Arizona shirts in Africa.
Brandon
Yeah. This is incredible. Deutsche way to go.
Deutsch

Alongside the Sasquatch discussion, the group debates how they'd handle knowledge of their own mortality, reviews NCAA wrestling's "four goats," and unveils Deutsch’s ambitious NCAA beer bracket project.
