Every round is unpredictable, chaotic and ridiculously fun. Who's the bad guy? Is great for parties, pre games, family gatherings or groups who just love deception based games.

[Stephen]

Wait.

[Kate]

Thank God we got this new computer.

[Pat]

Damn.

[Brandon Walker]

I didn't know tech got so good to where we see waterfall videos.

[Dan]

What were you about to say, Steven?

[Stephen]

That was the Bellagio.

[Kate]

The front.

[Stephen]

There might be a water show coming with that.

[Dan]

Whoa, ducks. What are these? These are.

[Stephen]

Those.

[Kate]

Are those things on the water?

[Greg]

Bagio.

[Dan]

This is like just sports team had

[Brandon Walker]

a very close call with their biggest rival.

[Sass]

Both team. Both teams have been trading leads.

[Ryan Hall, y']

All

[Sass]

it came down to a few nail biting seconds with the home team taking the victory. It puts them in first place, but

[Kate]

better yet, gives them a real contender

[Brandon Walker]

shot at the international. Oh, he sucks. At a very close call with their biggest rival.

[Dan]

I'd like to welcome all of you.

[Sass]

Some of you are familiar faces to

[Dan]

the program and some of you are

[Sass]

here for the first time.

[Greg]

Thank you all for coming. Who's using these?

[Danny]

Get all of your thoughts on this

[Sass]

exciting event and that have occurred.

[Dan]

What? These people suck.

[Brandon Walker]

This is eerie.

[Dan]

Why are they so bad at it? Yeah, we could hear she up too.

[Kyle]

Yeah, up.

[Greg]

Are those robot people? You know what I mean?

[Dan]

Oxymoron. Kate. Kate.

[Ron]

What?

[Greg]

Like AI people? Are they robot people?

[Dan]

Are they robots?

[Kate]

They're fake people.

[Dan]

Are they robot people?

[Greg]

Dante's gonna flip her over.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, yeah.

[Kate]

Oh, okay.

[Dan]

Dante's in a war path right now.

[Kate]

I've heard of another fight Dante went in on.

[Kyle]

Somebody else called somebody a. Yeah, really?

[Dan]

A behind the scenes person who's not content.

[Brandon Walker]

A what was the. Was that person being a.

[Kyle]

That's all I heard.

[Kate]

I don't think that guy is a.

[Brandon Walker]

No, I'm.

[Kate]

No, I would never call that guy a. What? What? Apparently, Dante wants to refresh the. The Backyard.

[Dan]

Yeah. No, he does. I know that.

[Kate]

Yeah. But that's what they argued about, because

[Dan]

I don't know if we actually own the area.

[Kate]

I see. And when he was told we might not own the area, he called the guy a pussy.

[Dan]

Yeah, I think so.

[Brandon Walker]

Because what Dante must put in, like, bocce courts and stuff.

[Dan]

Yeah. Which I'm not the worst idea I've ever. Yeah, no, no, I've greenlit that part. But I do think there's a element of, like, if we do this and draw attention to it, the city can be like, hey, that's not yours. So how much money do we put into something that could be taken away instantly?

[Danny]

Yeah, I. I think it was more about, like, this person who shall not be named was just giving them attitudes, like, well, do it yourself, then. It wasn't like a permission thing. It was a tone thing.

[Dan]

I will say I've heard more about this backyard than any other thing. Nothing.

[Danny]

Several group chats.

[Dan]

There's. And there's. There's been multiple people who've taken attempts at this and not. It's basically the Bears stadium. There's not a shovel in the ground. It's been years.

[Brandon Walker]

I remember Chef Donnie's brother used to weed whack it. He kept it real nice.

[Kate]

Oh.

[Brandon Walker]

When he was an intern.

[Dan]

That is nice.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Good boy.

[Dan]

He is a good boy. A lot better than Donnie.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Greg]

Southside Donnie.

[Kate]

Oh, cool.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, yeah.

[Ron]

There's a fucking monkey.

[Dan]

Yeah, we got a monkey. What do you think about that monkey?

[Ron]

That's crazy.

[Brandon Walker]

Honestly. It's 12:11. You missed a ton.

[Kate]

That's crazy.

[Kyle]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Kate]

Jared Fogel,

[Dan]

look at that monkey.

[Ron]

The monkey is just.

[Dan]

He's doing his.

[Ron]

What's he doing?

[Kate]

So we got that. We got that boy Sass coming.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Second hour.

[Dan]

Second hour, so.

[Ron]

Love that.

[Kate]

Yeah. Be fun.

[Dan]

Sass and Ron, potentially, I think I might take a ball game in with those boys tonight.

[Brandon Walker]

That's what they were saying.

[Greg]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Little old ball game.

[Kyle]

Like a. Yeah, right.

[Kate]

Baseball.

[Dan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. PCA last night. You should be a PCA guy.

[Kyle]

I am. Joel the barber tells me about him, and he seems awesome.

[Dan]

Yeah. Hit a cycle last night. Reverse cycle.

[Kyle]

Yeah. What is that?

[Dan]

Well, he did. Went in reverse. He had a home run, triple, double single.

[Kyle]

So impressive.

[Dan]

Then might have gotten.

[Kyle]

Who cares? That's still a cycle, right?

[Dan]

Yeah, yeah, no, it is. It's actually perfect, though, because it gives all the PCA haters just a little morsel.

[Brandon Walker]

And Dave.

[Danny]

White Sox.

[Brandon Walker]

Dave leads the charge in that.

[Dan]

Yeah, he's he.

[Brandon Walker]

We'll take anybody, text anybody who was rooted for the Cubs once.

[Danny]

He's.

[Dan]

Yeah, yeah. He's got a little PCA derangement syndrome. Although he's come around a little bit being like, all right, hands up. He. He might be a good major league

[Kyle]

baseball player, but is that what we want in sports?

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Rivalry, hatred, delusional.

[Dan]

I don't want other people to like my guys.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Dan]

I want them to hate.

[Kyle]

Healthy. Yeah.

[Dan]

Yeah. Feels good. It gets the juices flowing, you know. Stephen, how's day two of being a champion in this office?

[Stephen]

The best. It was nice to have Wake Up

[Brandon Walker]

Today talk to talk some sports for Wake Up Today. You had the most triangle hair I've ever seen.

[Kate]

Really?

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah. You really? Did you, did you edge it up?

[Stephen]

No, for wake up, I got a shower the night before just because it's so early. Oh, I don't like that triangle or no.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, I'll wake up. If you pull up, wake up.

[Greg]

You don't have time to look over the computer. That's a triangle.

[Ron]

That is just.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, he just looks like it was

[Ron]

a perfect shrine over the cone's covering your face.

[Brandon Walker]

I didn't want to air it out on national television, but every time it was. It was perfect triangle.

[Stephen]

Big Toblerone.

[Brandon Walker]

Yes.

[Ron]

Big Tobe.

[Dan]

Oh, yeah, yeah, look.

[Kate]

Very true.

[Brandon Walker]

Great work, brother.

[Dan]

Also, Stephen J. Like, he, he screwed up on the one thing that you get to do after a championship. He didn't rank Jalen Brunson number one overall.

[Brandon Walker]

Ranked him lowest on the show.

[Dan]

Yeah, like the whole point of all, it's.

[Stephen]

That's, that's very reasonable.

[Dan]

The whole point of winning a championship is you get to go walk around and just be like, yeah, my guy's number one now. And then you're like, no, he's not. Like, well, did he just win the title? Yeah, was the best.

[Kyle]

What is he saying?

[Dan]

What do you mean?

[Stephen]

I had Nikola Jokic number.

[Dan]

Yeah, he's being a cuckoo.

[Pat]

Well,

[Stephen]

I'd follow this stuff pretty closely. And he was never ranked in anyone's top five before. I mean, he's great player, all time player.

[Dan]

I follow this stuff very closely. You're talking about top 10 lists.

[Stephen]

Well, just like the NBA season, like kind of jockeying for position of. Of different players and yeah. Where they ranking against each other. I thought that was a very fair assessment.

[Brandon Walker]

Are you going to the parade, Steve?

[Dan]

No, I think Memes is going to.

[Stephen]

He was debating.

[Kate]

Yeah, you should go to the parade.

[Kyle]

The parade hasn't happened Thursday, but the Players have been getting wasted.

[Dan]

Oh, yeah. Actually it's better because once the parade's over, then everyone kind of dissipates. So we're gonna have tornadoes tomorrow?

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Dan]

No. You don't believe in the hype?

[Kate]

I think they're a little south of us.

[Dan]

Oh, okay.

[Kate]

Yeah, that I80 corridor.

[Danny]

Anything south of theirs, we still crank the horn regardless.

[Kate]

Yeah. The same place that had it last week is in like champagne. Peoria.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, that's pretty far down.

[Kate]

Yeah. And then we might get a couple. But I don't think we're in the.

[Greg]

We should put an intern on the roof with the crank.

[Brandon Walker]

It's not a bad idea.

[Dan]

We lead the league right now in cranks.

[Brandon Walker]

No, tornadoes.

[Dan]

Tornadoes. We have 145 or something.

[Kate]

I thought. I really thought moving north was going to get me out of tornadoes. It's gotten worse.

[Brandon Walker]

Is that the natural disaster that you're the most afraid of?

[Kate]

Yes. I'm terrified. When I was 12 to 15 year old kid, I was deathly afraid of weather.

[Dan]

This is today, just five minutes ago. A sleeper tornado.

[Brandon Walker]

That sounds like the worst con.

[Greg]

Or today.

[Kate]

Tomorrow's the bad day. Tomorrow's the. That's the. Today's not even.

[Dan]

Are we gonna get sleeper tornadoed?

[Ron]

I'm not summertime shy, baby.

[Kate]

Yeah, nothing like that.

[Brandon Walker]

It's a. I'm sure Los Angeles their fair share of tornadoes.

[Kate]

Y' all see the tornadoes last week? They were very photogenic tornadoes.

[Ron]

They were.

[Kate]

They were majestic tornadoes.

[Greg]

People covered it really well. They. These tornado chasers are getting good.

[Kate]

Okay, so have you seen. Have you guys seen like the dots of chasers on these storms now it's getting to the point where now traffic is forming because of how many chasers. It's all chasers and it's way dangerous because of how many are out there.

[Brandon Walker]

Is it a lucrative biz?

[Dan]

I think that's the. I think that's because of the content. Contentification of our entire culture.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Anyone can just snap a quick video, go viral.

[Kate]

Right? But there will be hundreds.

[Ron]

Are they doing it for money or for the thrill?

[Dan]

I think, I think we're doing it

[Kate]

like, I think real first, content second.

[Dan]

I think there's some that are thrilled, but now there's content.

[Kyle]

Content first.

[Ron]

You can make that much money off

[Dan]

of the stuff, I guess, if you get a good one.

[Danny]

Right?

[Kate]

I mean, Ryan Hall, y' all is making bank. He's got to be.

[Dan]

Who's that?

[Kate]

Ryan Hall, y'.

[Stephen]

All.

[Kate]

He's the weather guy that goes live every time there's an event. And he has a network of chasers that he can just tap into their car, their dash cam and show wherever they are.

[Dan]

Ryan Hall, y'.

[Kyle]

All.

[Kate]

Ryan Hall, y'.

[Kyle]

All.

[Kate]

Yeah, he's. He's big. I watch. There'll be 200,000 people watching him.

[Sass]

Whoa.

[Kate]

From, From, From. Maybe even more.

[Ron]

Chasers aren't doing science, most of them. No, they're just trying to look, they're just trying to.

[Kate]

Although I think they're in this.

[Ron]

Are they doing the thing where they spill the balls into the thing?

[Dan]

They have like, they have the ball things above the car. That's the me game.

[Ron]

Yeah, it's a me game.

[Brandon Walker]

Why couldn't it be a self driving car?

[Kate]

Well, no.

[Brandon Walker]

Forget I said anything.

[Dan]

Yeah, that would feel safer.

[Brandon Walker]

I don't want those. I don't. That's like the last people I want as an enemy.

[Dan]

The self driving cars.

[Brandon Walker]

No. Storm chasers.

[Ron]

Oh, it would be a thrill. I mean, I see the. I see the appeal of that. I don't want to do it, but it makes sense. Someone was just like, I. I do it because I feel alive.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Kate]

I would like to see a tornado. I've seen one up over an open field.

[Dante]

Yeah.

[Greg]

You can do a whole tourist week with them.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Greg]

Like riding their vans and stuff.

[Kate]

I've never seen a tornado like over an open. Like a beautiful tornado.

[Kyle]

Nick.

[Dan]

I just want to go back to. The last people you want to piss off is storm chasers. Do you think they create the tornado?

[Brandon Walker]

No, no. I just think they're a naturally dangerous people.

[Ron]

They're psychos and what.

[Dan]

I have no problem pissing them off.

[Brandon Walker]

Really.

[Dan]

What are they going to do?

[Brandon Walker]

I would rather there's a lot of other enemies.

[Dan]

I'm not a storm. They're going to chase me.

[Kate]

But they proven they can chase.

[Brandon Walker]

They can chase. They know where to get like tornadoes are unpredictable and they get them unpredictable. They'd get me in a second.

[Dan]

But they're not unpredictable because we've had. I've heard about this tornadoes for like a week.

[Brandon Walker]

Their paths are.

[Kyle]

They're not like assaulting it. They're not like trying to remove it. They're not like shooting at it.

[Ron]

Oh my God.

[Greg]

Fire. That would be. Probably feel really good.

[Kate]

I think the, the broader area is predictable, but you can't predict where it's actually going to be. So you got to. That's. That's where the chase.

[Dan]

I bet you I can find a tornado tomorrow.

[Kate]

You could not find a tornado tomorrow. All the things you say, man, I beat Up a coyote. I could do this. You can't find.

[Dan]

Well no, the coyote is true.

[Kate]

You cannot find a tornado.

[Dan]

Tomorrow. Tomorrow you're going to make me go chase a tornado.

[Kyle]

Kind of ask backwards. If they're just chasing it just to chase it. That's stalking a serial killer. Just to watch them do their thing.

[Dan]

Right. The whole part of the chase is you catch.

[Kate]

And what way could they stop it?

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Kate]

You think they're going to lasso it and, and tie it down.

[Ron]

That would be sick.

[Kate]

So rotating wall of wet.

[Ron]

Do you think they just tried to lasso it?

[Dan]

It's also kind of weird that they're like chasing this thing that's going to destroy and kill people.

[Kyle]

Yeah. And it's kind of selfish because he always had like their tattic girlfriend and the, the passenger.

[Brandon Walker]

They have the most alt girls. Dude.

[Kate]

I think somebody through that one of them got in trouble last week because he was chasing and he was on camera and he went to a place tornado just passed and he panned the camera to somebody who was trapped in rubble.

[Dan]

He didn't help him.

[Kate]

And I don't. I think he might have eventually put the camera down and help him. But I might have. But he's like, look at this rubble. And there's just somebody under there.

[Ron]

Yeah. The weather people kind of get off on the big storms. That is.

[Kate]

It's like destroying lives online is really weird now. I've been following this shit for a while. But now if a tornado, if there's a big tornado. NATO outbreak predicted for tomorrow. Right. And we only get three small tornadoes. There will be people online just sad as sad like this is a bust. This is terrible. I can't believe we didn't have one. I, I can't believe we didn't have an F5 that killed hundreds of.

[Dan]

Right. Like I'm not a kink shamer but I think I'm going to start shaming this.

[Kyle]

They want it. Yeah.

[Dan]

Cuz it's. It's kind of up that they're rooting for destruction.

[Kate]

You know. It's a storm chaser. Who? You know Pate. Josh Pate.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Kate]

He's a storm chaser.

[Dan]

Oh, so he does that better than you too.

[Brandon Walker]

Chicken.

[Ron]

Chicken break.

[Dan]

Chicken break. Time out early. It's early. He used it early. Oh, I mean that was so easy. Come on. What am I supposed to do there? His problem is that he. When he gives me alley, oops. What am I not supposed to dunk him?

[Brandon Walker]

I bet you there's not an account that's like saying that Josh paid is having a good or bad hair day.

[Dan]

Yeah, true. He stays as consistent as consistent. Guess cats

[Brandon Walker]

Brandon's got that.

[Dan]

That was an early chicken break. Early chicken break.

[Brandon Walker]

We do have a lot of chicken out there.

[Dan]

Get the extra time timer going, tj.

[Brandon Walker]

I like adding extra time.

[Dan]

Yeah, yeah. Every.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Yeah.

[Dan]

Because Brandon's doing it to just try to move the clock. So let's get a timer up every time he stands up. And that will be what we add to the end.

[Ron]

Oh, yeah.

[Dan]

At two o'.

[Ron]

Clock.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Like how you make up for the snow days at the end of the year.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, yeah.

[Danny]

Every show.

[Dan]

But don't. When he comes back in, tj, take the timer down. Don't obviously stop it, but keep it, you know, like, whatever. If it's at two minutes, keep it at two minutes. And then every time he gets up, we'll run it again and then we'll tell him at the end, let's get

[Danny]

dead silent when we see him say, all right, now we could start back up again.

[Kate]

Time.

[Dan]

No, I'm saying don't even tell him the time. So that way at 2 o' clock when he's like, oh, finally I can get in my car. We're gonna be like, oh, let's go to the clock.

[Kate]

All right.

[Dan]

We got an extra five minutes here. Makeup time. It's Tuesday.

[Brandon Walker]

That boy's just gonna leave.

[Danny]

I think he's purposely queuing you up to make fun of him. Wait, what's the reason?

[Brandon Walker]

What's Tuesday?

[Greg]

He's on the move. He's got across the gym.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, tea time. Is Fidalberg here?

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Ron]

Danny, what did you do to Corey Feldman?

[Danny]

Oh, yeah, what happened with him? It was some medical emergency on a flight.

[Ron]

Flight back to la. I saw he was hospitalized.

[Kate]

That's.

[Dan]

That's the curse after spending time with you, Right?

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Danny]

That's just a coincidence. I don't know what him and Don were talking about, but glad he's probably some serious. Yeah, they didn't get to dabble too much into the conspiracies, but Jerry was telling him about some good ones.

[Brandon Walker]

So until we meet again, I defended you, Brandon.

[Dan]

I think you're better than Josh.

[Kate]

Pete, that's fine.

[Ron]

Thank you.

[Kate]

Thank you. That's fine. Many things, and I don't even storm chase.

[Dan]

Right. I know. So he's better than that.

[Kate]

Yeah, he is better me than that. Right. He's willing to do it. I'm not willing to do it.

[Ron]

Right.

[Kate]

Would love to see a gorgeous tornado, but I'm I'm not gonna.

[Dan]

Is there ever a time when Josh paid is going toward to a tornado and you're like, man, I wish it would just sweep.

[Kate]

Oh, that's my, that's my guy. That's my guy. I, I.

[Dan]

But what if there was an accident?

[Kate]

All right, listen, you know, would it

[Dan]

even be called an accident if he, if he fell into it?

[Kate]

Yeah, if there was something that kept him out, like for six months, the entire football season, and he ultimately recovered. Yeah.

[Dan]

One of those tornadoes that keeps you out just for the football season.

[Kate]

Yeah, like an ACL tear out of a. Yeah, I don't know, something like that.

[Kyle]

What is their ultimate goal?

[Dan]

Tornadoes.

[Kyle]

The what? The chasers.

[Kate]

Oh, I think. Yeah.

[Dan]

Just see it.

[Kate]

Just want to see it.

[Greg]

I think the thing they always say is we're trying to gather info so we can help people predict them sooner.

[Kate]

That's what they say.

[Greg]

They always say they're saving lives.

[Kyle]

They want the worst. They want the worst.

[Ron]

Worst.

[Dan]

They want the worst.

[Kyle]

They want Bixby, Oklahoma, in the stratosphere so they can get pictures. Full blown homes with kids spilling out the windows, falling through the air.

[Brandon Walker]

They pray for that.

[Dan]

They, they want Dana Beer showing up with a couple cases.

[Kyle]

That's.

[Brandon Walker]

That's how you know it's a bad tornado. Beer.

[Kyle]

He's coming up.

[Kate]

He should be a storm chaser. Just follow the storms with. Yeah, with coolers of beer.

[Dan]

I mean, he would die instantly. Him and Kick would just drive right into a storm. It is so sweet.

[Danny]

Try to beer funnel out of it.

[Brandon Walker]

The wind would feel so good on their shirtless torsos.

[Dan]

All right, I'm. I've got some more details on the Dante beef. Let me read it real quick. Talk my shelves. Oh, yeah, here we go.

[Danny]

There were some words exchanged.

[Kate]

Well, that's quite the.

[Danny]

He was just dressed like the Joker, unironically.

[Kate]

Oh, that is Corey. Corey Feldman.

[Danny]

I wouldn't lie to you.

[Kate]

I thought that was a lady.

[Brandon Walker]

Danny, you look good. I didn't know that was you. Yeah, it took a while to process.

[Danny]

Thanks.

[Kate]

Dante kind of got the crazy eyes going. Connor Griffin. Crazy eyes.

[Danny]

No, there's a big flash.

[Kate]

All right. Okay. Well, yeah, they were scared of Dante.

[Dan]

Okay, I got words exchanged. All right, I'm gonna say Dante. Maybe

[Kate]

these noises are something.

[Dan]

Oh, yeah. So. So this person who, who does a great job, who runs base our entire building, they were trying to coordinate and this person was like, hey, you can just ask the building owner, Jeff. And Dante was like, basically was like, that's not the building. Owner. And the person was like, I've met him many times. I deal with him all the time. That is the building owner. And then Dante said, why are you being a.

[Danny]

Yeah, this is a tough one. A crazy guy versus a mean guy. Like, I don't know him that well, but that's. He's arguing.

[Kate]

Stern. Yeah. Matter of fact. Yeah, he's a matter of fact guy that I. You know, for two years, me and him were like, we would just. I would be the first one in, second one in. We'd be here together before Web, and we just got along as the old Ron Swanson thing. We got along by never speaking to each other.

[Brandon Walker]

I think being strictly business here is, like, pretty refreshing.

[Kate]

Yeah. Unbelievable. He don't. He doesn't suffer anything. Like, he's a no nonsense kind of guy.

[Brandon Walker]

All right. I can walk past him without. Past my lunch plate, and he won't say a word. I walk past.

[Kate]

He doesn't require help.

[Brandon Walker]

Like two potatoes. I'll be like, yeah, two potatoes. Potatoes.

[Kate]

All right.

[Dan]

Did you get.

[Brandon Walker]

All right, did you get two potatoes?

[Ron]

Two potatoes. Two potatoes.

[Dan]

I'm gonna read the blue.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, he says,

[Dan]

you guys tell us if who's in the wrong here. I'm gonna read the blue, which is. Chris is his name, who works here. And you read Dante.

[Brandon Walker]

Chris is pretty high up.

[Dan]

Yeah. And you read Dante. I'm gonna start here.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Dan]

Okay. Just have him ask the building owner for the code.

[Kate]

He has it.

[Dan]

You can ask Jeff.

[Kate]

I don't think that's his name. I think it's. What does that say? I think it's Rush or something weird like that. He doesn't. I don't know where we are.

[Brandon Walker]

You guys are.

[Kyle]

What is this?

[Brandon Walker]

I've lost.

[Dan]

Let me.

[Kate]

Let me do it.

[Ron]

Start from the top.

[Dan]

Brandon Zonte. Okay, Just have him ask the building owner for the code.

[Kate]

He has it.

[Dan]

You can ask Jeff.

[Kate]

I don't think that's his name. I think it's Rush or something weird like that. He was Ken Griffin's partner at Citadel. Can I just be honest? Glasses.

[Dan]

Jesus Christ.

[Danny]

Rounded out a little.

[Kate]

He was Ken Griffin's partner, Citadel. He owns, like, the entire 12 blocks surrounding us. Mega billionaire.

[Dan]

I'm pretty sure I know the owner of our building.

[Kate]

Why are you being a dickhead? I'm being polite and normal.

[Dan]

The guy that owns our building is named Jeff. I've met him several times. If you need to get work done at the building, let me know and I can assist through the normal channels.

[Kate]

Okay. All right.

[Dan]

Yeah, yeah. That's just Garland.

[Brandon Walker]

Whoever.

[Danny]

Whatever his name is is irrelevant.

[Dan]

Right.

[Kate]

And also ask the guy. The guy that you read was not being a dickhead in no shape or form.

[Brandon Walker]

I do like just guessing. His name is Rush.

[Kate]

Jeff.

[Dan]

No. So Dante's trying to add a hose for the back area and wants to tap off the building water supply, which I would have. Our normal guys do have asked which Dom has been telling him to talk to me, but he won't. So he. Dante won't talk to Chris. And when I reached, he told me he knows the building owner and it's good. So Dante thinks. I think so.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Get him down here. I think he thinks he knows the building owner, but he doesn't.

[Brandon Walker]

Jeff or Rush?

[Dan]

Jeff is the building owner. So who I. And that is confirmed because I've also met the building that is multiple times. Multiple times.

[Brandon Walker]

Is his name Jeff Rush?

[Dan]

No. I don't even know where he's.

[Danny]

I think he was claiming the one guy actually owns the building and Jeff is just a manager. But either way it doesn't matter.

[Dan]

No. You're asking Jeff.

[Kate]

No.

[Dan]

And again, Chris's job is to deal with the owner of the building.

[Kate]

So he knows probably at least once a week. At least.

[Kyle]

Yeah, he said I'm being polite and normal.

[Dan]

Yeah, yeah. Dante. Polite and normal.

[Brandon Walker]

As he went on after he called

[Dan]

him a dickhead after he tried to mansplain who owns the building incorrectly. Incorrectly. To the person who deals with the building owner often.

[Kyle]

Hey, dickhead.

[Brandon Walker]

I'm being nice and normal.

[Kyle]

Polite.

[Dan]

Oh, man.

[Brandon Walker]

He's been a little testy.

[Dan]

Yeah, I know this court thing which hopefully gets resolved today, but still. Yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't excuse everything.

[Danny]

He's coming.

[Brandon Walker]

I'm glad he's doing would.

[Kate]

It does sound nice. He's putting effort into the back of the building if.

[Dan]

Yeah, I'm down.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, no, I'm. I'm glad. He's being nuts.

[Kate]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[Dan]

Yeah, yeah, no, he's being nuts.

[Stephen]

Nuts.

[Dan]

That was a great. Just. I was watching back that clip of Gruden sitting down and be like, you guys know Electric?

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Greg]

I saw crew saying a DJ needs to put it in the front of his set.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Greg]

Have you guys heard of this?

[Dan]

Electronic dance music Roback. Roback activewear. Best fit, best feel. Roback just drops new products you need to know about first. Swim trunks, quick dry, four way stretch. Built in liner, pool, lake, boat, beach. These things are built for all of it. The liner is so comfortable you actually want to wear it. They just dropped a sweater polo.

Roback. Dante. What's going on? The building owner's name is Jeff. Yeah.

[Dante]

What does that have to do with anything?

[Dan]

Because that was where I feel like it started to devolve. When you were texting with Chris and you were like, I think I know the building owner. It's this guy. This guy. And not.

[Dante]

Not me, my general contractor, not me.

[Dan]

What do you mean?

[Dante]

I never said I know the building owner.

[Dan]

No, no, But. But you called Chris a.

[Dante]

Because he was being a.

[Dan]

No, he was just telling you what the building owner's name was.

[Dante]

No, he told me to, like, like, off. Basically.

[Danny]

We read the text.

[Dante]

Don't ask me for it.

[Danny]

We read the text.

[Dante]

So you can have your guy talk to the owner. I was just. I was just having, like, a normal, casual wait.

[Brandon Walker]

Did he tell you to off?

[Dante]

No, but he was basically like, how do I talk to them?

[Dan]

I think that's how it went.

[Dante]

I was like, he doesn't even need a. He doesn't even need access to it. If you could just get in there and take a picture of it, that works. Just like, being like, if this is easier for you. And he was like, have your guy talk to the owner. Like, oh. Like, he was, like, just being a prick.

[Dan]

No.

[Danny]

What if it was more like, oh, just have your guy talk to the owner. Like, how do you know that was the.

[Max Velocity]

To.

[Brandon Walker]

You took it as dismissive.

[Dante]

Because he was like, I think I know who the owner is. I have several conversations.

[Dan]

Well, yeah, he does.

[Dante]

Okay, that's great. I wasn't trying to be an asshole. I'm. Have I been a dick about any of this, Dan?

[Dan]

No, but this one.

[Dante]

Why do you think that I'm, like, trying.

[Dan]

No, I read the text. I read the text.

[Dante]

Yeah. I'm just trying to get this done. And he's, like, on top of me about every single little thing. I'm just trying to be, like, cordial about it. The same thing just happened upstairs in person, which you guys got. I don't want to talk about because this is just going to come back on me. And he's just going to be even worse. So I don't know why we're doing this right now.

[Danny]

Maybe we reread the text and you tell us where you think he was telling you to off.

[Kyle]

Wait, so this was all over text?

[Dan]

He doesn't even have mass. The building owner for the code. He has it. You can ask Jeff. I don't think that's his name. I think it's Rush or something weird like that. He was like Ken Griffin's. I'm pretty sure I know the owner of our building.

[Greg]

Now.

[Kate]

I'm pretty sure I know the owner of our building.

[Brandon Walker]

I could see it being.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Kate]

I don't believe it was dickheadish.

[Dante]

You gotta. You missed the ones before all this too.

[Danny]

Send them.

[Kate]

Were you. Do you really feel like you were being polite and normal though?

[Dante]

Yes.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Dante]

I'm terrified of this guy. He's a fucking asshole.

[Kyle]

You respect him. Yeah.

[Dante]

I don't want to be on his bad side. No one does. But you just are. He's just, like miserable and mean to everybody.

[Kyle]

You've talking to him in person in the past and you've sensed like a dude.

[Dante]

I asked him. I told him that my key card didn't work to get in the building. And it was like.

[Brandon Walker]

That was Stefan.

[Ron]

That was a pretty good Stefan.

[Dan]

All right.

[Dante]

So you know I'm right. Well, you're acting like you don't know.

[Kate]

What. No, no, no.

[Dan]

I'm.

[Dante]

Go ask anybody.

[Dan]

No, no, no, no. I don't think he's. I. Listen. I. I don't. He's. You're the only one that he respects. I think he's got a lot on his plate. Listen. I'm not gonna deny that. That I. I am not the best judger of these types of situations. 100. I'm not. I'm not gonna do the Katy Perry, Ellen DeGeneres thing where I'm like, he's been nice to me. The only thing I'll say is the backyard. We don't know if we own it. So that's why it's a little bit tricky. And he's told you that.

[Dante]

I understand. And as we agreed. I just want to get it done, not make a big deal out of it.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Dante]

Just trying to get it done. I'm spending money out of my own pocket, Dan.

[Dan]

Well, I told you you could. I told you I would spend money on it.

[Dante]

But I'm trying to just get it done so that it's done and nice and then we're done with it. And then it's nice. No One's going to fucking be mad that it's. I agree with that anymore.

[Dan]

I will. Maybe we'll do mediation when Guden comes out as son of a boy dead, he can watch you and Chris talk.

[Kate]

Oh, boy.

[Dan]

What is there.

[Dante]

What. What is there to talk about? I'm doing everything that he's asked me and told me to do.

[Kyle]

Did you talk to Jeff?

[Dante]

I don't know Jeff, my. What about Rush, my guy who was. Who we need to put in a faucet. Said he knows the building owner. That's all I mentioned.

[Brandon Walker]

Who's Rush?

[Dante]

And Chris took offense to that and acted like I was, like, going around him or something.

[Dan]

Where are you at with Nicky Smokes?

[Dante]

Nowhere, dude. I got bigger things to, like, worry about.

[Danny]

They're coming on shrieking tonight to settle it. It'll be out tomorrow.

[Dante]

Oh, I'm not.

[Danny]

You confirmed with Bets twice. I'm in the group chat. I also told him I didn't know.

[Dante]

I didn't know. I didn't. Dude, we don't. I'm not doing that.

[Dan]

Let me reread Rough and pouty.

[Danny]

We're literally. We're literally.

[Dan]

[Kate]

Dante, can I ask you a question?

[Dan]

Have I not been supportive of your intentions?

[Dante]

Yes, you have.

[Dan]

Yes. So I. I'm fully supportive of them. I want you guys to just figure it out so that we can get it going.

[Dante]

That's what I've been doing for a month now.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Dante]

And every single, like.

[Dan]

All right, I'll talk to.

[Kyle]

So why. We're making so much.

[Dan]

I'll get us. I'll get us back on the right path.

[Kate]

Can you. I don't know what your plans are for back there. Can you elaborate on what your plans are for?

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, maybe if we get it out in the ether.

[Dante]

I don't really want to talk about it because then people that, like. I just don't want to, like. You want to do it city or.

[Kate]

Yeah, just want to be nice, like,

[Dante]

people to, like, get it. Yeah. To interfere. I just want to get it done. Get it nice and then it's done and we can use it.

[Danny]

So when Bets put you in a group chat with me, you. Nikki Smokes. Deutsch. And you said confirming you guys for tomorrow to come on rough and pouty and you thumbs it up. What did you think you were approving?

[Dante]

I didn't see Nikki on it, I swear.

[Kyle]

I thought.

[Dante]

I thought it was Mikey. Just sending a group text like reminding about tomorrow.

[Dan]

Forget the beef with Chris.

[Kate]

Oh, oh, I got headphones back.

[Brandon Walker]

Did the power just go out?

[Dan]

Oh, we're about to lose.

[Kate]

No, because the lights are still on over the. No, somebody just changed the lights.

[Danny]

Baylor's revenge.

[Dan]

Dante, forget Chris, forget Nikki smokes. I just want you to be in a better spot because I love when you're happy. That's really all that I care about.

[Brandon Walker]

And you were stringing together these months of just bliss.

[Dante]

I know. And I was. And I was the whole. And the whole time I was just waiting for the other shoe drop. And it's dropping.

[Dan]

It's dropping right now.

[Kate]

What's going on?

[Dan]

What time are you gonna know about your course?

[Dante]

So I get this fucking text today from the state's attorney. The case had to be continued to 624 as I was unavailable and have been out the past couple weeks. But I'm back in the office next week. This was on me. And I will give you an update on June 24th. We've brought in a member of the state police regarding the extent of the violent nature of the assault by someone trained in martial arts to further justify the 10 year plea deal. Thanks, I'll be in touch.

[Brandon Walker]

So you just got to wait more.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

That sucks man.

[Kate]

Sorry about that, Dante.

[Dante]

Eight days, so that sucks. It's like this. It's like the just never ends.

[Dan]

I'm going to figure it out with you and Chris. I think. Can I just say. And I'm not defending either side.

[Kyle]

He.

[Dan]

There's a ton of liability and like weird whenever you start like having do construction and like sprinkler rooms and tech rooms and all that stuff. His job is to basically protect us from any accidents or liability issues. That's his job. So like by nature his job is going to be. I don't want to say dickish is the right word but like buy the book.

[Dante]

Totally, totally understand.

[Dan]

Okay, so then we'll get it. We'll get it figured out.

[Dante]

He sent me a coi, which I seen a million times. Forward it to my gc. GC said why are you sending me this? I don't even know if there's anything done. I just.

[Dan]

General contractor.

[Dante]

I just want to see where Certificate of insurance. I just want to see where the water lines run to see if there's like a tie in outside. There's one way down here by this side of it, but it's turned. It's like turned off and like capped or something. I don't know.

[Brandon Walker]

Can you start doing like, non invasive type stuff out there? Like, we're clearing everything. That's a good step. That's a big. That's a big stat.

[Dante]

Yeah, we're cleaning everything.

[Dan]

All right, we'll get. We're gonna get back on track. I. I'll be on it.

[Kate]

All right.

[Dante]

Yep.

[Dan]

All right. Love you. I love you.

[Dante]

All right. What is your problem now?

[Danny]

You just cancel on our show. Come on.

[Dante]

I'm, I'm. I'll come on your show. I don't want to rehash the Nicky Smokes thing for the millionth time.

[Danny]

I bet she's gonna cheer. You're off. When you go upstairs, I'll let him deal with.

[Kate]

Fine.

[Dante]

You told me that you were having a therapist on to talk about, like, girl problems.

[Kate]

Both. Oh, that'll be good too. All right.

[Dante]

I don't need. I don't need to.

[Danny]

That's fine. But if, like, you just say that in the text.

[Dan]

All right, Dante. I love you guys. Things are better.

[Brandon Walker]

Hot streak.

[Dan]

That was a great face.

[Max Velocity]

O.

[Kate]

No.

[Dan]

Oh, no.

[Brandon Walker]

Shrinkage tonight.

[Kate]

So you're just pulling out GC and coi. Like normal.

[Ron]

That was pretty up normal.

[Kate]

Oh, oh. Thought I got a laugh when he got back over there.

[Dan]

Those are normal things.

[Danny]

Chuck's following him.

[Kate]

Looks like they already escaped.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, bets.

[Dan]

And they're. I mean.

[Kate]

Oh, fuck. Look at Crane. Greg.

[Ron]

There he is.

[Kate]

Oh, my God.

[Dan]

In a long time, former life, I used to work in like, construction.

[Ron]

Home build.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, you say you do know.

[Kate]

I don't guess I knew that.

[Brandon Walker]

Go back to green.

[Dan]

The worst thing ever was trying to get the certificate of occupancy. Coo.

[Brandon Walker]

That's the best hire I've ever made.

[Kate]

Look at that dude.

[Greg]

He's so happy.

[Dan]

Did I never tell you guys the story that the so part of my job, I used to have to go to the Department of Buildings, which is actually not too far from here. And I have to go. I'd have to go and wait in line and sit with this woman while she went down the checklist for certificate of occupancy. Coo. Before anyone can move into a building, you have to have a certificate of occupancy. Basically being like, yeah, the sprinklers work. Like, displays are going to burn down, the walls are good Everything, you know? And it was the worst. It was just such a pain to have to go there and, like, beg her to, like, actually, like, check things off and do her job. And then one day, my boss called me in the office, in his office, and he sat me down. I thought I was like, I'm in trouble. He's like, did you read the news today? I was like, no. He's like, yeah, they did a raid on the. On the Department of Buildings, and, like, a bunch of people got arrested for giving bribes. And he's like, have you ever done that? And I was like, no, but the fact that I could have.

[Greg]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Like, this woman that I dealt with weekly was literally just taking, like, a hundred bucks.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah. I was wondering how much a bribe.

[Dan]

It was nothing. I would have paid in a second. How much?

[Brandon Walker]

That would have made your life a lot.

[Dan]

Oh, so much easier. I didn't know. I didn't know it was an option.

[Kyle]

So what was the waiting process for her to check a box? What did she have to decide or do in that time frame?

[Dan]

She just. Basically, it was a city worker who would work the hours they wanted to work in that. Like, if I came in and you're like, oh, yeah, I'm going on lunch. And, like, can you just look at this piece of paper? She's like, I'll be back in an hour and a half.

[Kyle]

You just have to wait.

[Dan]

She's like, that kind of stuff.

[Kyle]

Yeah, but it's just checking a box.

[Dan]

It was getting all of the inspectors to come out, look at everything, then bringing it in, being like, we got this, this, this. Can you give us now the actual certificate? And printing the certificate was her job, and she would make it so hard because I guess in retrospect, in defense of her, I wasn't bribing her, so why would she give me any. Any, you know, the time of day

[Ron]

you go to the back of the line.

[Dan]

Yeah, Like, I'm not giving her bribes.

[Ron]

Bribers to deal with.

[Brandon Walker]

Danny, what did you do before barstool?

[Danny]

A lot of things. I was in construction. I was, like, a laborer. Worked at a bar. I was a lifeguard. My first ever job was one of those people at o' Hare who are just rolling people around in a wheelchair.

[Dan]

You did that?

[Danny]

No way.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, you had been so good at that.

[Dan]

Wait, did you ever get to drive the cart?

[Danny]

No, never. I didn't graduate, so.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, those guys are Dick.

[Dan]

Oh, those guys.

[Brandon Walker]

Those guys are.

[Dan]

Yeah, but they run the place.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, but they're. They're honk.

[Dan]

Happy. I know.

[Danny]

Yeah. Very hard.

[Dan]

But just driving around an airport must be awesome.

[Danny]

They'll tap you too, if you're in the way.

[Kate]

Oh, yeah.

[Danny]

Honk.

[Brandon Walker]

So wait, did you have to go through security every day?

[Danny]

Yeah, a lot.

[Dan]

Where'd you park?

[Danny]

I would just take the blue line because I lived close enough to it, but. Yeah, you would. You would average like 8 miles a day walking around there, and you wouldn't be able to end to the very last flight of the day.

[Dan]

Oh, so you'd have to go sit on the like. Yeah, in the gate.

[Danny]

And people don't realize that's a tip job.

[Brandon Walker]

What I've never realized people get a tip.

[Danny]

So you weren't making.

[Kyle]

Where you were pushing people? Yeah, like disabled people.

[Danny]

Disabled people or just fat people.

[Max Velocity]

And were you.

[Kyle]

Were you putting them in the no cart?

[Danny]

No, they could do that themselves.

[Brandon Walker]

So you're the guy that waits in the tunnel at the end of the plane and for the.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Jerry ever have to wipe a butt?

[Danny]

Oh, no. God, no.

[Greg]

I always thought those people were, like, pre arranged to be there part of the. So wait, did. But then, like, those people know it was a tip job.

[Danny]

Like some. Someone who's probably been in a wheelchair their whole life probably got the gist, but, like, the unaccompanied minors are obviously not. That's. Well, that they're not getting in a wheelchair.

[Dan]

You had to walk miners.

[Danny]

Yeah, but, like, you creep, dude. Well, they're like nine and obviously you can't, like, touch them if they run away. You just have to, like, corner them. You just have to, like, keep an eye on them and like, chase them down in the airport. Kids get out of walkie talkie.

[Dan]

Did you have runners?

[Kyle]

Oh, you were a kid, too? Yeah, it was my first ever kids playing.

[Dan]

Did you have.

[Ron]

Yes.

[Danny]

Yeah, I had a runner.

[Dan]

You had a runner?

[Danny]

Yeah, I just. I chased her for, like, I don't know, the equivalent of like three blocks.

[Dan]

She was that much faster than you?

[Danny]

Yeah, kind of. She got a head start, too. She. Because she went to the bathroom and then I didn't realize that.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, wait, were you just waiting outside of the ladies room for a child?

[Dan]

Baby, why'd you run?

[Danny]

I don't know. They're putting up a tantrum. Like, maybe they're going to visit their divorced dad who they don't like, so they just, like, don't want to go there.

[Dan]

I think it's probably your fault they

[Danny]

were in it could have been.

[Brandon Walker]

Would you get pissed if there was somebody that was pretty able Bodied that just sat down in a wheelchair.

[Danny]

Yes, big time. Just a guy who's too lazy to

[Dan]

walk, who doesn't realize what a job.

[Brandon Walker]

It's terrible.

[Danny]

I.

[Kate]

For a while.

[Danny]

Sorry.

[Brandon Walker]

No, I wanted to. I. I wanted to kill myself. I had to go into this building, put my phone in a Ziploc, like a bag that I couldn't use it. And I was just placing fine print on the back of a medicine box. Like as a designer, it just made me want. I couldn't look at my phone, couldn't go on any other eight hours.

[Ron]

You had to put your phone away.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Uhhuh.

[Dan]

But that's a good thing to have a job that, like. I do think that part of, you know, this company is. There's some people who went straight from

[Brandon Walker]

college, support going back to. That is the only thing keeping me going.

[Dan]

I did cold calling for. Oh, like people at dinner being like, hey, I need your money.

[Brandon Walker]

It was so People just hated you.

[Dan]

Hated me, dude. Hated me.

[Danny]

I was a non union laborer too, for a construction gig.

[Brandon Walker]

Right.

[Danny]

And like, and like, well, so during the process, the dad who was like this, this vet, he was like a fighter pilot, just a stern guy. He was handing over the business to his son. So his son started taking over operations and he would contract out all people, part of a union, like electricians, plumbers, blah, blah. But the dad would send me over and be like, go pick up my tools, bring them back. And I'd be like, if I get caught, the. That rat is going to be out in front the next day. So I'd have to deal with that. Just sneak in and out. Wouldn't recommend it.

[Brandon Walker]

Kyle, did you get paid to try to get booze sold to you underage?

[Kyle]

Yeah, I would, yeah. Wear a wire and try to. You wore wire to arrest my peers, like, who worked at convenience stores.

[Brandon Walker]

It was your classmates.

[Kate]

You were a wire dude?

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Holy fuck. I don't trust you.

[Kyle]

Wear a wire and try to catch people.

[Dan]

Are you in a big van?

[Kyle]

Police cruiser?

[Danny]

Okay.

[Dan]

I. I didn't know if it was like an unmarked van that you would.

[Kyle]

It may have been, yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Did you have a fake ID or were you just trying to buy.

[Kyle]

No, they would. I would just try with my underage id and if they sold it to me, I. Yeah. Ruined their life.

[Dan]

You were. Was there like a code word?

[Kyle]

100 bucks.

[Dan]

Would you say code word when you.

[Kyle]

We were on like walkie talk. They were listening in.

[Dan]

Yeah. And then they'd be like, oh, got him.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Could you try to like, Charm them.

[Kyle]

Yeah, I was really like, there's one dude I knew not well, but, like, I really wanted him to fuck up.

[Brandon Walker]

Then you had to see him in school, like the next day.

[Kyle]

No, he was juvenile.

[Sass]

Oh,

[Kyle]

Never saw him. Yeah.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

You put some guys away.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Dan]

You're a hero.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Ron]

It was like you were forced into this role.

[Kyle]

No, I actually, like, didn't call different cops to try to get. I heard they were doing. Yeah, I really wanted it.

[Brandon Walker]

My Buddy Josh, easy 100 bucks. Worked at a gas station and he like, he knew, like when you walked in.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Max Velocity]

Bad news.

[Kyle]

I know. Gave him the look. Nah.

[Sass]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Would you ever see a friend and you'd give him like a.

[Sass]

Don't.

[Kyle]

No, I duh. I wasn't lying, which I feel bad about. Yeah, I was about to say I was lying, but I did do that. I think it's really scummy.

[Dan]

You gave, you gave. You gave your friends a tip off.

[Kyle]

I was so afraid of the cops.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

You chose to work with me that you called.

[Ron]

You are the cops.

[Kyle]

Yeah, I'm the cops. I never, I never busted. No, it never worked.

[Dan]

Oh, you never got anyone.

[Kyle]

No.

[Brandon Walker]

Did you get fired because you never got anybody?

[Kyle]

No, it was just like a freelance gig.

[Brandon Walker]

Okay.

[Sass]

Yeah.

[Dan]

That's hilarious. Kind of thrilling.

[Kyle]

It was.

[Dan]

That's a thrill.

[Brandon Walker]

I would be nervous.

[Kyle]

It was embarrassing because every time I'm like handing them my 15 or 16 year old ID and they're like, no.

[Brandon Walker]

What booze did you pick out to get?

[Kyle]

It was always like smearing off.

[Dante]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Hey, some.

[Dan]

Oh, man.

[Kyle]

Yeah, that was.

[Kate]

That is.

[Brandon Walker]

It's funny.

[Dan]

It's funny, but it's.

[Kyle]

Yeah, I atoned.

[Dan]

Did you guys have Attacking. Did you guys have. You guys have bar raids at your. At your colleges? Yeah, that. Those are the worst. They would just shut the front. The cops would just come in and just shut the front door and then just turn on and go through the

[Kyle]

entire bar and just arrest everyone.

[Dan]

They just card every single person because.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, because there were some bars that were notorious being like, yeah, you could go here if you're 12.

[Kyle]

Yeah, the Mexican restaurant.

[Brandon Walker]

The Mexican restaurant.

[Dan]

Always the Mexican restaurant.

[Brandon Walker]

Dude. I would walk in after getting second in the science fair and go get like four margaritas. Just pissed.

[Kyle]

I didn't win a bunch of 17 year olds on margaritas. Throwing chips on the ground.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah. Like they're peanut shells.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

What a time.

[Danny]

We'd be like 17 and we'd see like, the underclassmen start catching on. Be like, 16 year olds. Are Here.

[Brandon Walker]

This bar's too far.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Too old to go.

[Dan]

Here I officially have stopped getting carted ever. And that sucks.

[Kate]

Oh, yeah?

[Dante]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Not at all.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Yeah.

[Dan]

Because even you'd get it every now and then where you just be like, I'm just doing my job. Got a card, everyone.

[Kyle]

But not even that.

[Stephen]

No.

[Dan]

Now it's just over.

[Brandon Walker]

I like forgot my wallet to go to dinner one day and I was like, I probably can't get a drink. And I still tried. I was nervous as. And just. It was kind of disappointing.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Kate]

You. It was. Disappointed you did not get carded. Yeah. Okay.

[Dan]

Although I had the opposite today because the Bulls hired Thiago Splitter and he's. I think he's like 30 days older than me. Same year, birth year. And someone called him a young coach. And I was like, all right, that's good. All right. Because that's gonna end eventually. Because like now I'm at the. Remember the. The moment you realized that you're older than everyone you're watching on like, Play Sports is like, man, there's no one left. Now I'm at coaches where like, it used to be if a coach got hired at like 36, I'd be like, oh, that's cool. That's my age now. If a coach gets hired at 36, I'm like, I'm. I'm older than, like, way older.

[Brandon Walker]

You finally went from the age of like a quarterback. You're begging to retire to a young offensive genius coach.

[Dan]

Yeah. And now I'm. I'm actually aging out. A young offensive genius coach. I'm more like defensive coach who's been. Should have been hired a few years ago.

[Kate]

Yeah. Seasoned.

[Dan]

Yeah. His team won two games, but his defense was awesome.

[Brandon Walker]

And Brandon, you.

[Danny]

It's over.

[Brandon Walker]

The game's past.

[Ron]

You're too old to hire. Yeah.

[Dan]

Too old.

[Ron]

Like Bill Belichick, Unc.

[Kate]

If you're. If your team hires a 47 year old coach, they just. They're just getting ready to hire somebody again.

[Dan]

That's a retread.

[Kate]

Yeah, that's.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Kate]

What's the fucking point? What's the fucking point?

[Dan]

What's the old.

[Ron]

That's a Bosco with Patino at St. John's yeah. Might work out, but like, what's.

[Kate]

What's the fucking plan here?

[Ron]

That long.

[Brandon Walker]

You're a Mike McCarthy.

[Kate]

Yeah. I feel like you're Mike McCarthy.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Thanks.

[Kate]

You're welcome, Danny. I worked at the airport too.

[Danny]

What'd you do?

[Kate]

I was on the outside.

[Danny]

Stewardess.

[Brandon Walker]

Danny, that was savage.

[Danny]

Daniel, there's male stewardess.

[Dan]

Oh, so good.

[Ryan Hall, y']

So good.

[Brandon Walker]

Walk away.

[Dan]

Oh, man.

[Ron]

All right,

[Dante]

all right, all right.

[Kyle]

He's back. Okay.

[Kate]

Br.

[Ron]

What is that sweatshirt?

[Kate]

It's a minor league baseball. I believe it's the Kenosha Kingfish is their actual name, but this is their alternate identity of Kenosha keepers. It's a lighthouse.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, I thought it was a ketchup bottle.

[Ron]

I thought it was a baseball and a baseball bat.

[Kate]

They are, I believe, right on.

[Ron]

Interesting logo.

[Kate]

They think they're right on Lake Michigan and.

[Brandon Walker]

Lighthouse.

[Kate]

Lighthouse.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Cool.

[Ron]

Yeah, that's a lighthouse.

[Stephen]

That's cool.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

I want to go back to airport.

[Ron]

Were you the.

[Brandon Walker]

The.

[Kate]

I was.

[Brandon Walker]

That's a dream. Actually.

[Kate]

I was. I was outdoors. Actually, I did, too. It was a small airport, so. So on Tuesdays and Fridays, I was on the desk, and I was checking people in. But on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, I was outside doing this. You know, this. This whole thing right here with the wands and parking the plane and then getting in the plane and taking the bags out and driving the bags around to the conveyor belt.

[Brandon Walker]

This had to have been a tiny airport, right?

[Kate]

Tiny airport, yeah. One gate.

[Brandon Walker]

What were, like, the common flights?

[Kate]

We had four flights a day. They were all going to Atlanta. It's Atlanta and back. Atlanta and back. Just Delta flights getting people to Atlanta to connect. We had a 6am flight, a 2pm flight, a 5pm flight, and a 9pm flight.

[Dan]

I'd have to imagine there's some lifers there that you were working with.

[Kate]

There were some people I. Yeah, there were some people I didn't like. There were some just. It was. It was a collection of creatures. I was. I was there about two years, but I enjoyed the outdoor days, the indoor days. I hated.

[Dan]

I didn't release opening at the blowjob factory.

[Kate]

No, Dan. 911 happened.

[Stephen]

Oh,

[Dan]

so you thought you got to go suck off a bunch of. And the Air Marines.

[Kate]

The airline industry crashed, and they laid us all off a month later. Damn.

[Brandon Walker]

So you're a victim of 911 and yes.

[Kate]

Not well.

[Danny]

Oh, my God.

[Kate]

I don't think I want to say it like that. But then I, you know, then I caught on at Radio Shack a couple of months later, and you caught us.

[Ron]

History.

[Dan]

I'm a big break in Radio Shack.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Ron]

Here I am now.

[Kate]

I did at Radio Shack, I did my name tag. I did come up with the. I was BFW on my name tag.

[Brandon Walker]

That's BFW.

[Kate]

Yeah. I became BFW before when I was making 625 an hour working at Radio

[Brandon Walker]

Shack during the zip zap craze.

[Kate]

I was. Nick,

[Brandon Walker]

I remember you charged the cars on the controller. There were six big.

[Kate]

There were bonus.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, I remember that.

[Kate]

They were.

[Brandon Walker]

They rocked.

[Kate]

Oh, tiny little.

[Dan]

I remember this.

[Kate]

And then you could also. You could, like, switch out the tops. You can switch out the body.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, they were great.

[Kate]

You could be, like, a whole mechanic for your zip.

[Brandon Walker]

That was a busy. That was a boom for Radio Shack.

[Kate]

One of the. One of the great things about Radio Shack was I got to go in the parking lot and we had a Lightning RC car, which is a big one, you know, $300 RC. Yeah. And my job. We were next door to a Walmart. My job was to drive the car around the parking lot to make people go, oh, what's he doing over there?

[Brandon Walker]

That's a Radio Shack. I've always wanted to be the guy in the mall in the kiosks that, like, throws a plane to get killed.

[Dan]

Oh, yeah. Speaking of zip zaps right now, did you Shaq.

[Brandon Walker]

Did you.

[Dan]

He doesn't do a lot of commercials.

[Brandon Walker]

No, no. Your first. You worked with your first love at Radio Shack, right?

[Danny]

What was his name?

[Brandon Walker]

Because I think we've talked about this before.

[Kate]

I mean, I was. Have we?

[Danny]

Yeah, obviously.

[Sass]

Huh.

[Kate]

And I also worked at Blockbuster. I would work days at Radio Shack and nights at Blockbuster.

[Dan]

That's good.

[Kate]

And that was a one, two punch

[Brandon Walker]

of just that had been in the same strip mall.

[Kate]

Decrepit old business. No, it was about a half mile down the road.

[Brandon Walker]

Okay.

[Kate]

Yeah. Just changed my shirt. Was it cool working Blockbuster, huh?

[Brandon Walker]

Had to have been.

[Kate]

It was. I did enjoy working at Blockbuster. It was. It was pretty fun.

[Danny]

Or some perks.

[Kate]

Well, you got the movies. Like, if a movie came out on Tuesday, you got to. You got to take it home on Friday. So, like, Spiderman came out.

[Dan]

It's not much of a perk.

[Kate]

But if your movie. If your weekend is built around. If your weekend is built around watching a movie with your best gal and you're like, spider man comes out. Right, Right. But I got it tonight.

[Dan]

But let's just say regular Joe Schmo movie comes out on Tuesday, you just go rent it on Thursday.

[Brandon Walker]

It wasn't out yet.

[Kate]

Here's what.

[Brandon Walker]

Wasn't available.

[Kate]

Here's.

[Dan]

What are you talking about the Friday before?

[Kate]

Yes. Oh, why would I. Why would it be the Friday after, baby?

[Brandon Walker]

You know, I get movies four days late.

[Dan]

That's what I was saying.

[Kate]

Oh, you got it early.

[Dan]

Got it.

[Kate]

Got it early. And and video games. You would get early and then, you know, be me being a hoarder and a collector of the cutouts. I would take the cutouts.

[Danny]

Oh, my.

[Kate]

I had a Spider man cut out. I had a. I had a Twister cut out. That was just like the Independence Day cut out. It was a bunch of. I had a bunch.

[Brandon Walker]

That's a good perk. Now I don't. This is not an old joke.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Were there vhs is there?

[Kate]

We had. We still had a VHS section. It was DVDs all the way around the wall. Video games in the front, left, middle was vhs.

[Brandon Walker]

Were you a rewinder?

[Kate]

No. No, they didn't actually. Maybe we were at the tail end. I don't remember doing a lot of rewind.

[Brandon Walker]

Okay.

[Kate]

It was like 2001. 2002.

[Brandon Walker]

I love hearing about your past.

[Kate]

Yeah, I got a lot of jobs, man.

[Stephen]

Did you have a Brandon's Pick section or were you.

[Kate]

I did. I did. I had Best in Show. I had O Brother, Where Art Thou?

[Brandon Walker]

I changed so much.

[Kate]

I had Hot Shots.

[Dan]

Broke back

[Kate]

when did. So today's theme is I'm gay.

[Danny]

Clip it.

[Brandon Walker]

It's kind of funny.

[Kate]

Tombstone.

[Dan]

Yeah, that's a good clip.

[Kate]

And I had five picks. Best in Show, Hot Shots. Oh, and that thing you do. That's good.

[Dan]

Those are good.

[Pat]

Slash.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Dan]

You know what? This just jogged my memory. Is Sharper Image still a store? Oh, that was the most futuristic place ever. That kind of didn't predict any of the future catalog because they would just like, you know, oh, you want a massage chair. You want a weird gizmo that doesn't do anything. But it was such a cool store. It felt like the most high end place in the world.

[Brandon Walker]

It was expensive.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Ron]

Airplane catalog type store.

[Greg]

Yeah. It sold everything that you could get on airplane catalog.

[Dan]

Dude, airplane catalogs rock.

[Ron]

I love them. That.

[Dan]

It's like, where else would you like. You don't realize it until you open it up and then you're like, oh, yeah, I do need a globe to hold my whiskey.

[Ron]

Yeah. I need it badly. Yeah.

[Dan]

Oh, I do need an oversized chess set.

[Kyle]

Floating smorgasbord.

[Brandon Walker]

They did have a lot of floating. I think they were banking on a lot of stuff.

[Kyle]

People eating breakfast in the pool.

[Greg]

Yeah.

[Dan]

I need an awesome garden gnome.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Floating garden gnome.

[Kyle]

Electronic gnome.

[Ron]

Cool.

[Dan]

Yo, I love Sharper Image. Can we find one of those old. Yeah, I'm gonna find one of those old magazines.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Check it.

[Brandon Walker]

Brookstone. Is that Brookstone?

[Dan]

Okay. Oh, all right. We got a guest.

[Greg]

Who?

[Dan]

It's Ryan Hall, y'.

[Kate]

All.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, my God, dude.

[Kate]

It's Ryan Hall, y'. All.

[Dan]

Ryan Hall, y'.

[Ryan Hall, y']

All.

[Dan]

What's up, guys? What's up, Ryan? Thanks for.

[Kate]

Hold on. I got this big cat.

[Dan]

Yeah, go for it, dude.

[Kate]

You're the fucking man.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Oh, well, I appreciate that.

[Kate]

That's all I had.

[Dan]

Dude, this setup is incredible.

[Kate]

Yeah. I'm telling you, he goes live every. Every time there's a weather event. And there's just people watching everywhere, man. I mean, talking everywhere. Don't even have to be in the path of the weather.

[Dan]

Yeah. All right, so, Ryan, we got some questions because there's. So we're in Chicago, looks like. Actually, let's start with this. What are we looking at tomorrow?

[Kate]

Are we. Are we.

[Ryan Hall, y']

I'm not gonna lie. It's looking pretty bad.

[Dan]

Okay. In Chicago or just, like, south?

[Ryan Hall, y']

So it is. It is going to be worse south of Chicago, but it's. It'll get a little rowdy in Chicago, too.

[Dan]

You'll.

[Ryan Hall, y']

You'll actually see more storms than the people who are going to get the worst storms. So you'll have thunder, hail, lightning, the whole nine for a longer period of time. But, yeah, the. The people who are in real danger, in my opinion, are south of Chicago.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Kate]

That part of Illinois beat up, man. That's been catching it. Yeah.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Ryan Hall, y']

It's been nuts.

[Dan]

So, all right, so we were. We were talking about storm chasers. It feels like you could tell us if we're wrong. It feels like there's a lot more storm chasers than there used to be. Is that just people looking for content, or are they doing it because they truly love chasing storms?

[Ryan Hall, y']

I think that people are just finding that it's a lot more accessible nowadays to be a storm chaser. Everybody's got really good cell service. Everybody. You can get a Starlink, put it in your car, and stream to the Internet. This stuff wasn't possible before. So there's more storm chasers online that can inspire other people to become storm chasers. And when somebody just randomly decides that they're going to be a storm chaser, it's very easy for them to appear on the Internet in front of everybody.

[Ron]

Right.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Which wasn't the case 10 years ago.

[Dan]

Right. Now, the other part, we were wondering if you're a storm chaser, like, these are nasty things. And so is there a part of, like, a storm chaser where you've got to kind of check it at the door, where you're.

[Ryan Hall, y']

You're.

[Dan]

You're in your car, you're excited to see this tornado. This tornado could kill people. It's destroying people. But you're also excited. How do you wrestle with that?

[Ryan Hall, y']

I. It's different for all the storm chasers. Some of them are a little bit more open about it. Some of them are a little bit more like, okay, I'm out here to see a dag on tornado today. Let's go. You know, some people get, they do get excited about it and some of them are very careful with how they present that excitement. Because you got to think you're in some, some small towns and you're driving around places that literally might get obliterated by a tornado.

[Dan]

Right.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Nobody in their right mind is happy about that. Right. But it is inevitable it's going to happen whether they're storm chasers or not. And the storm chasers are there to witness the power of mother Nature. And they don't want to see your house get torn down, but they do want to see the incredible thing that it's a tornado. So it's, it's something they all wrestle with.

[Ron]

Are, are these people more thrill seekers or scientists, would you say?

[Ryan Hall, y']

It's a mixture of both. It's a mixture of both. There's a, there's probably more thrill seeking than science going on out there, but there's also a whole lot of science going on. And even just like video of tornado is scientifically relevant. Right. There's some videos of tornadoes that have allowed scientists to learn thing about. Learn things about tornadoes that they didn't know before. So even somebody out there that doesn't have like a fancy Dorothy twisters machine to chuck into the tornado, even if they're just filming it, a lot of times that is valuable.

[Brandon Walker]

How did you get into this?

[Ryan Hall, y']

There's something wrong with me. Ever since I was a kid, I've been obsessed with the weather. I wanted to be a storm chaser. I've been storm chasing quite a bit, but it's just kind of turned into this thing where I call what I do sort of like the NFL red zone of weather. I'm pitching back and forth to a bunch of different places and storm chasers and stuff. So I don't go storm chasing myself anymore. I'm in this room watching the radar and orchestrating everything.

[Dan]

So what do you do in like the off season?

[Ryan Hall, y']

Well, there is no off season. We cover blizzards, we do hurricanes, we'll do severe weather, which technically this time of year is supposed to be my off season. This is what I'm supposed to be out you know, doing stuff. Not in this dark room here. But for whatever reason, this June has been nuts. We normally see these kinds of storms in the spring or in the fall. It's very uncommon to see this kind of stuff in June, which is one of the reasons everybody's so concerned about tomorrow. The, the amount of humidity that we're going to have tomorrow with the amount of wind shear that we're going to have is something that we really haven't seen in a very long time. So we don't know exactly what's going to happen, but we know it's going to be bad.

[Brandon Walker]

What natural disaster excites you the least?

[Ryan Hall, y']

The least?

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Probably a hurricane. They're just like big washing machines. I don't know how anybody is excited about that.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Dan]

What about a seiche wave?

[Ron]

What?

[Ryan Hall, y']

And I mean, that sounds, you know, more. That's better than a hurricane, I guess.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Kate]

What did you just say?

[Dan]

If you guys don't know, I do.

[Danny]

Tell them though.

[Dan]

It's like a tsunami in a lake.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, really?

[Dan]

Yeah. Massive wave. Yeah. Sage wave.

[Brandon Walker]

God damn it.

[Dan]

Standing wave oscillating in an enclosed, partially enclosed body of water.

[Kate]

You don't know anything.

[Dan]

I just said it. What are you talking about? Sage waves?

[Kyle]

He did say it.

[Dan]

I've been on sage wave walk before watch before.

[Kate]

Well, Ryan, you, you've, you've blown up the last couple of years. Your channel's blown up. You know, people are, you know, it's, it's been, it's been good for you. How you, how's, how's that?

[Ryan Hall, y']

It's cool. It's cool. This is like my dream job. I always wanted to be the weather guy.

[Max Velocity]

That's awesome.

[Ryan Hall, y']

But I didn't like the, you know, working in the TV weather world because you really only get to do the weather for like three minutes. You know, you work a normal job, it's full time, but you only get three minutes on the air to actually talk about the weather.

[Dan]

Right.

[Ryan Hall, y']

So I say I sit here literally for 12 hours a day sometimes and just non stop cover, cover the weather in the exact way that I want to. And as the channel grows, we're just investing in like more cameras. We got tower cameras up all over the United States to try to catch the tornadoes. We got more storm chasers out there. We pay some, some of these storm chasers pretty good money to make sure that they're out there. I mean, some of them drive. It's incredible how many miles they drive. They're driving from Kansas to Illinois. One day, and then they're going all the way down to Alabama the next day, and it's quite a lot back

[Dan]

to the Sage Wave. Were you familiar with that, or did I give you something new that you'd never heard of?

[Ryan Hall, y']

I have heard of it, but I'm definitely not very familiar with it. You've refreshed me on that.

[Dan]

All right, well, if you need a Sage Wave watcher, I don't live far from the lake. Brandon and I had a little bit of a disagreement a few. Few minutes ago. He doesn't think he worked at the blowjob factory. Oh, my God. No, that wasn't our disagreement. Our disagreement was I said that I could find a tornado tomorrow in Illinois. He says no chance.

[Kate]

He's an inexperienced. No nothing, nobody. And he thinks he can just go. Go south and he's going to find tornado because that's how he thinks he's confident he can do everything.

[Dan]

All right, let me give you my. Let me give you my credentials.

[Kate]

Okay?

[Dan]

Clean driving record. One fender bender that totaled my Avalon going five miles an hour. When the bears parted ways with Brian Erlacher in 2014, I believe 12. Maybe drive a range Rover now. Pretty nice vehicle.

[Brandon Walker]

Sturdy.

[Dan]

Sturdy, can drive fast.

[Brandon Walker]

How's Your eyesight?

[Dan]

Eyesight, 2020. Could I find one tomorrow?

[Ryan Hall, y']

Listen, tomorrow, anybody in central Illinois and western Indiana could probably find a tornado. But here's the thing. Here's the thing. Tomorrow they're going to be moving at like, 60 or 70 miles per hour. The tornadoes are going to be moving that fast, so you're not going to be able to outrun it if someone starts coming at you.

[Dan]

Well, I don't know if you heard the Range Rover comment, but, yeah, I could outrun that. Yeah, I'd be fine.

[Greg]

Ryan, do you have a call that you're most proud of?

[Kate]

Just a real ass.

[Greg]

Like, you were in early on the radar and you, like, saved a whole town kind of thing. Does anything stand out like that?

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Do you guys remember hearing about the Mayfield, Kentucky tornado in 2021?

[Kate]

Sure.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Yeah, yeah. That was kind of one of the first severe weather events that I went live for in the way that I do now, like, all day. And we were talking about Mayfield probably three hours before they got hit, and a lot of people in that town were watching. Some people even got in their cars and left town because they were watching our stream. And when they came back to their homes, their home was completely gone. So I think we did save a whole lot of lives during that.

[Dan]

Yeah, yeah. Because correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not. I don't know much about weather except seashreef. But like hurricanes, you know, like a week before tornadoes, you just don't know, right?

[Ryan Hall, y']

Yeah, yeah. You know, the general area. But it's, it's not until right before they happen until you know like what street they're going to go down.

[Dan]

Jesus. That's nuts.

[Stephen]

I have a question for people that are weather noobs and don't subscribe to a lot of the stuff daily. What is the best weather app to Check? Is it AccuWeather? Is it Apple weather just like on your phone?

[Ryan Hall, y']

Or ask Alexa or if you're just looking for like the day to day forecast.

[Dante]

Yep.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Any of them. They're all just as bad as the other one. There's not one that's like specifically better than another. But if you want like real time radar, if you want to track the storms tomorrow, weather wise, is the one that I go for weather.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Kate]

I. Ryan, I don't know. I, I watch your stuff and I really enjoy, you know, watching your stuff. Where are you from? Obviously you're Southern like me.

[Ryan Hall, y']

I'm from eastern Kentucky.

[Kate]

Oh yeah? Hell yeah.

[Dan]

Nice. Now we're talking Appalachia.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Yeah, yeah. Deep, deep. Right next to West Virginia. Ashland, closer down to Pikeville.

[Ron]

Oh yeah.

[Kyle]

You're a country boy.

[Ryan Hall, y']

I like middle of nowhere.

[Dan]

Yeah, we were, we did Kentucky sports radio today.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Talking hollers.

[Ron]

Talking hollers.

[Dan]

Yeah, we were talking hollers. Are you, are you a Kentucky Wildcats fan?

[Ryan Hall, y']

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan]

All right.

[Ryan Hall, y']

I, I'm pretty much a one track guy. I'm mostly like weather.

[Max Velocity]

Love that.

[Dan]

That's so awesome. That's so awesome. So you could tap into how many, how many people will you have on the ground tomorrow?

[Ryan Hall, y']

Oh, we'll have like 15, 20 stone chasers. Yeah.

[Dante]

Wow.

[Ron]

Wow.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Greg]

Wait, last one for me. As a anxiety lady. Damn. In the minivan with my kids and I'm driving through central Indiana and I see a twister coming. Do I a. Because I read a few different things. You get out of the car and you all lay flat in the lowest place possible. Do you stay in the car and just go the wrong way down the highway to get away or do you go under an overpass?

[Ryan Hall, y']

Okay, so the last thing you want to do is go under an overpass.

[Greg]

Okay.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Definitely do not do that.

[Greg]

Okay.

[Ryan Hall, y']

But if, if you are in a situation where you literally see a tornado coming and it's coming right for you. Yes. The best thing to do is to find like a ditch or something and get out of that.

[Greg]

Get out of the car.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Yeah, yeah.

[Max Velocity]

You, You.

[Ryan Hall, y']

You're going to get thrown around in that car. Even in a weak tornado, you're way worse off inside of some sort of mobile vehicle than literally laying on the ground. But here's, here's the thing. I always tell everyone it's actually really easy to avoid being in that situation where you're driving down the road and you're surprised by a tornado. Like, right now, we know pretty much all the roads where there's going to potentially be a tornado tomorrow.

[Kate]

Right.

[Ryan Hall, y']

So if people were to, like, really be cognizant of the forecast and be aware of this stuff, you could avoid those routes or get whatever you need to get done tomorrow, today and not have to be caught in a tornado. That's the best thing is to just look at the. Where the tornado watches are, look at where the forecast is, and try to avoid that area completely. And you'll never in your life be in a situation where you accidentally need to go hide in a ditch from a tornado.

[Brandon Walker]

Have you ever had a close call?

[Ryan Hall, y']

There's been a tornado or two that's came close to us. Down here at the weather house is what I call this place. But no, nothing. Nothing really. If I'm ever really close to a tornado, 90% of the time it's because I want to be there.

[Ron]

So.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Yeah.

[Dan]

Is it true tornadoes are more scared of you than you are of them?

[Ryan Hall, y']

Absolutely.

[Brandon Walker]

That's good.

[Dan]

I do actually have a myth question because, like, we live in Chicago and it's always like, oh, yeah, tornadoes can't come to the, to a city because of the buildings. Is that true?

[Ryan Hall, y']

Oh, no, that's. That's not true at all.

[Dan]

I say that all the time.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

I use that to call myself.

[Dan]

Okay, why. Where did that come from?

[Ryan Hall, y']

I don't know. I hear stuff all the time. People say crazy stuff about, like, the reason why tornadoes can't happen here or there. Every city believes they have some sort of dome around them that protects them.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Ryan Hall, y']

And like, every city says that. So the, the, the. The truth is, is the reason you don't hear about a tornado hitting Chicago all the time or any big city really, is because tornadoes are rare. And compared to cities and towns and stuff, they're.

[Max Velocity]

They're.

[Ryan Hall, y']

They're small. So even though we get about a thousand tornadoes a year, the odds of one hitting directly into even a big city are astronomically low. It's going to happen one day. But it's just not very likely to happen.

[Dan]

Got it.

[Brandon Walker]

But it could tomorrow.

[Ryan Hall, y']

It could.

[Max Velocity]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Okay.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Kyle]

So it's just because most of the country is rural.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Yes.

[Dan]

That makes sense.

[Kyle]

It's.

[Greg]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Oh, wow.

[Dan]

That makes a lot more sense.

[Brandon Walker]

What I thought was, city, you're safe. And if they're. I'm in one, I go under an overpass, which is just wrong.

[Dan]

And they're more scared of us.

[Ron]

It's just like, under an overpass in Chicago. Like, I'm the same. Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

I'm, like, bragging to you guys, you're

[Dan]

in a bathtub scared. You're in a bathtub in your car with a toaster.

[Stephen]

I have. I have one more question about weather content creators. Are there any, like, beefs, or do you think any of those other guys are hacks or are you guys kind of all friendly?

[Ryan Hall, y']

I think we're mostly friendly. There's definitely beef.

[Dan]

There's.

[Ryan Hall, y']

There's competition out there. Some people, you know, especially on the ground with the storm chasers, you know, it's. It's competitive. They're all trying to get the best shot of the storm. They're all trying to be as helpful as possible. And they're all really good people, by the way. Even the thrill seekers, at the end of the day, they're doing a lot to help. Like, if I've. It's scientifically proven that if I can show my audience of live video of a tornado, they're more likely to take that seriously, versus me just showing the radar of some red and green blobs.

[Dan]

Big time.

[Ryan Hall, y']

It helps out a lot.

[Dan]

Yeah. All right, well, Ryan, you're the man. We love having anyone on this show who's, like, super into something, so thank you so much for joining us. And, you know, we might have you back on again, hopefully tomorrow. There's not a lot of destruction. But we really appreciate you joining us.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Yeah, absolutely. Anytime, guys.

[Dan]

And we're. And everyone. What's your YouTube? It's just Ryan Hall, y'.

[Dante]

All.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Ryan Hall, y'.

[Dante]

All.

[Dan]

Dude, when did you come up with that?

[Ryan Hall, y']

Right when I made the channel. I. I think I was. I've got a little bit of that Eastern Kentucky accent, so I wanted to make sure everybody knew what they was getting into before they even clicked.

[Dan]

Yeah, that' a genius one, that one.

[Brandon Walker]

Like, that's a good one.

[Dan]

That's probably like 50 of your success. It's Ryan Hol.

[Max Velocity]

Probably.

[Dan]

That's pretty awesome. Yeah. All right, thank you so much, Ryan. Appreciate it, man.

[Kate]

Thanks, Ryan.

[Ryan Hall, y']

All right, see y' all bye.

[Dan]

He's a man.

[Brandon Walker]

Brandon Walker. What a put on.

[Dan]

Yeah, way to put us on.

[Ryan Hall, y']

I'm.

[Dan]

I followed him right away.

[Kate]

I'm gonna be watching. I'll watch him tomorrow.

[Dan]

Red zone for tornado.

[Brandon Walker]

What a good idea.

[Kate]

South of us. I'm still watching him.

[Danny]

Yeah, Brandon, he was just in the waiting room listening.

[Kate]

You're holding. He does do the red zone. He'll be in there and he'll be like, let's go out. Let's go out. Oh, we got. We got tornado approaching this town. Let's go to this camera. Let's go. That camera. Let's go. This driver, he's all over it.

[Dan]

You guys really didn't like my saf.

[Dante]

Hated it.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, well, I mean, you're just. You're trying to impress a man in front of us.

[Greg]

Kate, I've seen videos of people under underpass.

[Dan]

Yeah, it's like the worst thing to do.

[Kate]

Video. 30 years old, and that was a little baby tornado. Tornado.

[Sass]

That was a little.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Dan]

Oh, wait, you know what video?

[Kate]

Oh, yeah, it was a. It was a famous video that all the weather people, like, fight against. Because this one guy's like, get under

[Greg]

the girders and everybody doesn't. They all survive.

[Kate]

But it's. It's a baby tornado. It's. It's a little. It's a little wind baby little one. It's a little baby one.

[Greg]

I'm not getting out of my.

[Kyle]

I'm not getting out my car. Not doing that.

[Brandon Walker]

No, I don't think you understood that. You have a Range Rover.

[Dan]

Yeah, no, that part was definitely lost. And I'm well versed in sash waves. I just remember the safe. It was like 2013 or 14. We had a bad, bad storm in Chicago. And I was the derecho. Remember the derecho? It was. I think it was called a derecho. And I remember watching the weather and they're like, be careful. The sage waves. If you're a runner on Lake Michigan. I was like, what the is a sage wave? It's basically just a mini tsunami that can happen in the lake.

[Kate]

That's pretty quick. Waves.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Can I get eyes on a sash wave?

[Greg]

Yeah, I'd like to see one.

[Dan]

I. Yeah, I think. I mean, there's been videos of like people just getting smoked by waves when they're running on lake.

[Danny]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Those are seas.

[Dan]

I think. So maybe they're. Maybe sage waves are more cool thing to say.

[Ron]

Sh. Wave.

[Kate]

All right, here we go.

[Greg]

Okay.

[Dan]

Oh, what is the sage.

[Kate]

Okay, they're Big.

[Brandon Walker]

I'm going to call it early.

[Max Velocity]

Underwhelming.

[Brandon Walker]

So how did br. That day.

[Kate]

I. Ms. Reinhardt, just show us the damn wave. Oh. Oh, that's okay.

[Greg]

Yeah, but.

[Kate]

All right.

[Greg]

Oh, look at those ice balls.

[Brandon Walker]

Icy conditions to yield damaging ice shoves that literally push millions of pounds of ice onto shore. Strong winds over Lake Erie on February 24th and 25th, 2019 pushed a 10 foot wall of ice ashore, prompting police in Hamburg, New York, to issue voluntary vacuum.

[Dan]

Yeah, listen, stage waves are probably not that cool. It's a cool thing to say.

[Kate]

So we had Ryan Hall, y'.

[Ron]

All.

[Kate]

You asked about Stage one.

[Dan]

It was one question of many questions. It was a great interview.

[Dante]

You.

[Kate]

You.

[Brandon Walker]

You just snuck a picture of him.

[Kate]

I did.

[Dan]

He did.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Dan]

I'm happy you put us onto him.

[Greg]

Yeah, we should have asked him. Everybody's talking El Nino. I guess it's back again.

[Dan]

No, it's. Wait, is it El Nino or is it. Oh, no, it's the super El Nino.

[Greg]

It's the super El Nino.

[Dan]

Which means we could have a very warm winter.

[Greg]

I know.

[Dan]

Which would be awesome. God, yeah.

[Dante]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Super El Nino means. Sorry, Titus. May cover your ears like. A shitload of rain and flooding in Southern California.

[Ron]

Oh, my God, have you seen the

[Dan]

wedges popping off in a dry, warm winter Midwest?

[Ron]

The weather here is way better than California.

[Dan]

I also saw something. Something.

[Ron]

I don't know what I'd do if it rained.

[Dan]

There's like, some blob of. Of cold air that sits in the Arctic, and people are like, it's about to collapse. And if it collapses, we all die.

[Kate]

What?

[Brandon Walker]

How do people know? Why would we all die?

[Dan]

I don't know.

[Kate]

People are always saying, man, like a

[Brandon Walker]

second ice age, we're gonna be fine.

[Dan]

Yeah, something like that.

[Brandon Walker]

That's not good.

[Kate]

We'll probably be fine.

[Dan]

Yeah. Here it is. Old blob Atlanta. Sign of weakening ocean currents could lead to cooler.

[Kate]

This seems to be great news, actually.

[Sass]

Yeah.

[Dan]

No.

[Greg]

Yeah. We heat up, so it'd be good to cool off a little, Right?

[Kate]

Everybody's bitching about global warming. This is cooler climate.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Kate]

We don't want

[Brandon Walker]

ominous.

[Kate]

Seems like it's getting cooler.

[Dan]

Oh, no.

[Brandon Walker]

We get so many ominous signs.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Ron]

We ever get good news? No.

[Kate]

Also kind of troubling that we don't. Can't know exactly what. Like, we're worried about ominous signs.

[Dan]

Whatever happened with the ozone, do we fix that?

[Greg]

Remember, everyone's worried about hairspray and stuff.

[Brandon Walker]

It was thinning.

[Dante]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Yeah. I thought if you just Sprayed an aerosol. Can you just put a hole right above.

[Greg]

I thought there was a hole somewhere over Australia.

[Kate]

It was in the south.

[Kyle]

I would leave the house trying to protect the ozone.

[Dan]

Oh, I would do the opposite.

[Brandon Walker]

I just spray outside to warm it up.

[Dan]

Trying to take it out.

[Greg]

Yeah. I took the ozone hole very seriously.

[Brandon Walker]

Wait, do we have a hole?

[Dan]

I don't.

[Greg]

There is a hole somewhere.

[Kate]

There was a hole. It was in. It was, like, over Antarctica.

[Greg]

Right.

[Dan]

But then it fixed itself.

[Kate]

I don't know if it naturally cycled.

[Dan]

Why can't we just make a new ozone layer?

[Danny]

It's a great question.

[Greg]

Good question.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah. We know what it's made of.

[Dan]

We're doing everything else.

[Kate]

I don't be knowing, man.

[Ron]

I don't know. Man, I don't know is crazy.

[Kate]

Don't be in. Don't be in central Illinois tomorrow.

[Danny]

That's my advice.

[Ron]

Waves. How am I supposed to.

[Dan]

Are meteorologists, like, TV meteorologists? The most amount of education for the least amount of respect?

[Ron]

Well, now I, I, they do have respect.

[Kate]

I do think it's fun for certain people to be like, oh, my weatherman got it wrong. But, like, local weathermen in small markets are revealed.

[Dan]

But I'm saying, like, oh, look at this. Oh, the weather girl told us this, like, that person went to school and learned a lot of.

[Danny]

Once they get to that point, though, are they the ones doing the research or.

[Kate]

Oh, no, they, they generally know what they're talking about.

[Danny]

So, like, the, the hot girls you see as the weather ladies, they're really just in the lab all day?

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Are they, like, watching the All 22 breaking down?

[Kate]

They're trained film.

[Dan]

Or are they being handed a piece of paper?

[Kyle]

They're not in the lab.

[Kate]

No.

[Ron]

They know the meteorologists, they know what they're doing. But I do, I agree with what you're saying.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Ron]

That they're not respected.

[Kate]

Right.

[Dan]

Because they always get it wrong. We're always like, oh, idiot.

[Ron]

I think most people are like, weathermen are stupid.

[Dan]

Got the apps now. It's like.

[Ron]

Told me it wasn't gonna.

[Brandon Walker]

I full. My first idea of celebrity was the local weather.

[Dan]

No, I understand that you're saying, like, now, especially with the, you know, technology that everyone has, you have it on your phone, they get no respect.

[Kate]

I had Dick right 20 years ago.

[Dan]

I'm all in on what you're saying, because 20 years ago, to find out the weather, you'd have to turn on the tv.

[Danny]

Only choice. Yeah.

[Dan]

But now I feel like they still go to school for a really long time. And everyone's like, who cares?

[Kate]

I've talked about this guy, but Tupelo had a weatherman that got laid off two years ago, and Tupelo rioted.

[Dan]

I love that shit.

[Kate]

Went. Went crazy.

[Dan]

His job back.

[Kate]

Oh, yeah, Got his job back. Then he kept the job for a month after they hired him back due to public outcry. And then he said y'. All. And he went on his own and he went. He went like, Ryan Hall.

[Brandon Walker]

He's like a solo.

[Kate]

Yeah, but he's amazing. Max. Max Lawpond. Matt Law Pond. Matt. Matt or Max.

[Danny]

It's Matt.

[Brandon Walker]

Sounds amazing.

[Kate]

Unbelievable guy. I fucking love him. Yeah.

[Dan]

Because it's not like you just do

[Kate]

it on your own.

[Dan]

No one owns Le Phillies.

[Greg]

Weather guy was like, everybody.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Depends on who you talk to.

[Kate]

Dick Rice.

[Brandon Walker]

That was yours.

[Dan]

That was.

[Kate]

Yeah, well, Dick Rice and Tupelo and Brian Owings.

[Dan]

Dick Rice is a good name.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Dan]

That's what you do when you. Your dick goes into.

[Kate]

Your dick's not working when you get your dick wet.

[Dan]

Oh, I dropped my dick in the toilet after.

[Brandon Walker]

After. You got to put it in Rice.

[Dan]

Put it in a bag of Rice. Oh, I soaked too hard.

[Brandon Walker]

Got my dick wet last night.

[Dan]

Mormons be doing Dick Rice all the time. Oh, Brandon, you want to do NASCAR read? You want a coffee?

[Kate]

No. No, I don't. Thank you. Thank you. No, it just makes my. It makes my short game go to. This Sunday, NASCAR is taking over San Diego. Palm trees, Pacific Ocean views all set to the soundtrack of fighter jets and stock car engines. The biggest stars of the sport will push limits that have never been challenged before and make history that's never previously been imagined. This isn't just any race weekend. It's a full throttle edge of your seat waking the hell up kind of spectacle. Every second matters. Every moment is filled with electricity. And when the green flag drops, anything can happen. So grab your friends, get the snacks, and lock in your picks as we get ready for a Sunday that delivers exactly what NASCAR fans live for. At 4pm Eastern, only on Prime. Don't miss a NASCAR Cup Series. Battle it out on Naval Base Coronado this Sunday at 4:00pm p.m. eastern on Prime.

[Brandon Walker]

Coronado's so sick, it's beautiful.

[Kate]

Hello, Rome.

[Kyle]

Tell me about it.

[Brandon Walker]

The island off of la. San Diego.

[Kyle]

San Diego.

[Greg]

They have the Hotel Del Coronado.

[Brandon Walker]

I stayed there.

[Dante]

Very hot.

[Dan]

It's lovely, boys. Hey, are you familiar with Ryan Hall, y'?

[Dante]

All?

[Sass]

I don't know if I am.

[Max Velocity]

No.

[Dan]

We just. It was actually a thrill. He Just came on the show. He's. He's the Scott Hansen of tornadoes.

[Kate]

Yeah. Weather. He's a weather guy. Really?

[Dan]

He literally is in a. He's in his room and he said that he has like, tomorrow we're supposed to get tornadoes. He said he can tap into 15 different storm chasers during like.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Live stream.

[Brandon Walker]

When do you guys fly out cameras

[Kate]

all over the country?

[Sass]

Tomorrow for sass.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Dan]

You guys are.

[Brandon Walker]

You're not leaving.

[Dante]

Really?

[Sass]

Yeah.

[Dan]

There's gonna be tornadoes tomorrow. Ryan. Holly all told us all about it.

[Brandon Walker]

Bad. Well, if Ryan said it, I believe it.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Sounds like you don't.

[Kyle]

Oh, I do.

[Sass]

Oh, that was a little sarcastic.

[Kate]

Yeah, that was a little disappointment.

[Dante]

Not at all.

[Sass]

No flippant.

[Kate]

Is.

[Ron]

Is he.

[Brandon Walker]

Is he an actual storm chaser? He just watches this. Used to be, but now he has a fleet.

[Dan]

He's Scott Hansen.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Greg]

Does he have outsourced it?

[Brandon Walker]

What's the car. Is this. Was this Titus's seat?

[Kate]

No, he sits over there.

[Brandon Walker]

No, is. How's it gone? What's that car that they use for this?

[Kate]

Like that van with Dominator.

[Brandon Walker]

The Dominator?

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Dante]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

That thing's sick.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

What's the Dominator?

[Kate]

That's read something he drills into the ground. Timber. Yeah, I believe so.

[Brandon Walker]

It can. A tornado can just like go over it. I saw a video of them going.

[Kate]

Right. Yeah, there it is.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, that looks like the Dominator, huh? If you had to guess which one. God damn.

[Dan]

Holy.

[Brandon Walker]

The thing that's funny about it is just like. It's clearly like he just made it.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

He's like, this is completely storm, and that thing would be in a million pieces. Tornado.

[Dan]

Oh, shit.

[Ron]

They're.

[Dan]

They're saying Max Velocity is better than Ryan Hollyo.

[Brandon Walker]

Who's Max Velocity?

[Ron]

Max Velocity.

[Brandon Walker]

I mean, with the name.

[Dan]

There's a hat. There's another guy, Big Max

[Dante]

back here.

[Dan]

Tell us about Max Velocity.

[Pat]

I had to. When Ryan hall was on, I had to block my ears. I tweeted the second he popped on. I made sure that people know I am Team Max Velocity.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, is it guy exactly like the same exact guy.

[Kate]

My guy has way more subscribers.

[Dan]

Yeah, but Max is an incredible.

[Kate]

My guy's good.

[Dan]

That's his birth name, I assume, right?

[Kate]

Max Velocity, my ass. It's a Ryan Hall, y'. All.

[Dan]

What a name.

[Brandon Walker]

Show me Max. I have a feeling we'll be talking to him.

[Kyle]

I. There's a. I'm ready to flip to Max.

[Dan]

I love.

[Dante]

Look at.

[Dan]

Wait. Real beef.

[Brandon Walker]

How'd you get into Velocity?

[Pat]

So it was, I forgot who it was in the cave a couple months ago that put me on. When we actually was during the winter when we had one of our winter storms put me on. And now anytime he's live, I literally have him on his background tv. He's awesome.

[Dan]

Imax, that's great.

[Kate]

Background tv.

[Sass]

Are there, are there enough storms going on simultaneously that necessitate whip around coverage?

[Pat]

Yes, there are. They're live. Like.

[Ron]

And you guys are, you guys are watching this? There's a storm and Boise. And you're like, I gotta, I gotta watch all about this.

[Kyle]

What are you just watching like rain?

[Kate]

I might be in on storms, guys. It's life threatening weather.

[Brandon Walker]

Do you have like a classic?

[Kyle]

I've seen a storm.

[Dan]

I think I'm in on this.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Do you have a classic you could recommend that I could watch?

[Kate]

Oh, catch up on some April 27, 2011.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh my God.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Okay.

[Kate]

Oh my God.

[Sass]

Really?

[Kate]

You get into April 27, 2011, you'll come out a different fucking man.

[Brandon Walker]

Are there any storms that you watch where you're like, this isn't doing it for me?

[Kate]

Yeah, there's a lot of bus. I, I, you'll start telling jokes during the bus.

[Dan]

We talked about this. But I, I still think like we're the only country in the world with weather.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Dan]

I think I don't have the worst.

[Brandon Walker]

I think it's awesome.

[Kyle]

I think of like Indonesia. I think of them getting just tormented by the gods.

[Brandon Walker]

Dude, they're always just prudent.

[Kate]

They're underwater.

[Dan]

24 like rain, simple Tsunami.

[Kate]

Haiti.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, Haiti's always in.

[Dan]

The hurricanes are always coming.

[Brandon Walker]

No, Haiti's always. He's shaking.

[Dan]

Hait's kidnapped. Haiti's shaking.

[Kate]

Oh, that.

[Kyle]

Let me tell you something. Nothing is going right in Haiti.

[Dan]

Oh, no, I know, I know about some of the that's going on in Haiti. They're, they're eating people in Haiti.

[Kyle]

There's nothing going right.

[Ron]

Yeah, Haiti is.

[Dan]

Who's running Haiti?

[Kyle]

Haiti's the gangs are running Haiti.

[Dan]

Are they in the World Cup?

[Greg]

Yeah. Really?

[Dante]

How they doing?

[Kyle]

We should, we literally should go steal them and give them a safe haven.

[Brandon Walker]

We should house the Haitian.

[Kyle]

House the Haitians have them.

[Brandon Walker]

Aren't the Haitians up to no good here too though? That became racist.

[Sass]

If you're up to no good in your own country, that's fine.

[Brandon Walker]

If you go to someone else, they're

[Kyle]

up to no good in the sense that they have zero opportunities to ever experience.

[Sass]

There's no good to be up to.

[Dan]

Yeah, I Saw Pete Mitch album, the old sports writer. He's got, like, a school in Haiti.

[Sass]

Really?

[Dan]

Yeah, he's created a school because, like, none of the kids are learning.

[Sass]

Mr. Beast might have had a school in Haiti, too.

[Brandon Walker]

He's got a school everywhere.

[Sass]

Yeah, Beast. He just dropped schools.

[Brandon Walker]

Did Kai so not build a school?

[Ryan Hall, y']

No.

[Dan]

Mr.

[Sass]

Beast did a Dreamers University.

[Stephen]

That's right.

[Brandon Walker]

That's in Haiti this year.

[Dan]

Mr. Beast did a Beast games in Haiti and only one person got to get out.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, yeah, yeah. He adopted one adult. Taking one lucky Haitian home.

[Dan]

Wait. It's vacant.

[Kyle]

Haiti.

[Dan]

Oh, President vacant.

[Greg]

Put it on the wheel.

[Kate]

Damn.

[Kyle]

The gang took over.

[Brandon Walker]

It's got to be mincy. No government.

[Sass]

No one wants to wait. There's no government in Haiti.

[Brandon Walker]

The gangs run the country.

[Dan]

That's what I'm saying.

[Greg]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Why they do. What if they're just doing, like, a really good job and it's like the whole gang thing is kind of. It's just to keep people out.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

They want to keep the riff raff.

[Dan]

Show me where Haiti is on the map.

[Kate]

Shares the island with them, everybody.

[Brandon Walker]

The weather's great. So do you need a passport to go to Haiti, or could you just go? You can just show up.

[Kate]

I certainly need one. Why?

[Dan]

Oh, that's.

[Kate]

Don't know.

[Brandon Walker]

We got to show the gangs.

[Kate]

We gotta have the passport to get out of our country, right? To get.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, I don't think so. You can just leave. Can you just fly to Haiti? Are the gangs, like, operating the airports?

[Dante]

I don't know.

[Brandon Walker]

That's what I'm. Yeah, that's what I'm wondering.

[Dan]

Speaking of which, it's been about four years, Ron.

[Pat]

Huh?

[Sass]

Oh, I have a trip I'd like to make.

[Brandon Walker]

Things are better there now.

[Dan]

It's escalated a little.

[Sass]

I was just trying to learn about the history of Iran. Do you know about it, Kate? I feel like you. You would have, like, a good oil.

[Greg]

That's all I know.

[Dan]

Weren't they fully westernized?

[Kate]

These were amazing.

[Brandon Walker]

I've talked to a Vader about it.

[Dan]

Yeah?

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

It's beautiful.

[Sass]

Like, was, like. He was, like, obsessed with, like, Europe and, like, he was in France and Italy, and he wanted to make everything westernized. And the Ayatollah was like. Khomeini was like, we're not doing that. He just wanted to. He just wanted to make it, like, nice and. And fun. And I don't know why.

[Pat]

What.

[Sass]

What things about that bothered the Ayatollah. He wanted to have, like, better infrastructure. And I don't know if it's religious

[Dan]

freedom, but yeah, I've seen pictures of like 70s and Iran and it's like

[Brandon Walker]

you looks like chicks got them.

[Dan]

Yeah, they're at universities and stuff.

[Brandon Walker]

And then a few Haitians.

[Greg]

Afghanistan was like that.

[Sass]

Yeah. It looks so awesome. It is my life journey now because of this show to eventually go there, but it's not the time.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, no, I don't think you can. You have like a pretty busy schedule right now.

[Dan]

We had a women's soccer league timing.

[Brandon Walker]

Look at this.

[Sass]

You have bikini, jet skis, Lake Havasu. It looks at her. And they also had like a ton of money when they first they were like, they had oil and then they're like, oh, we should sell this for a ton. And so they quadrupled their oil cost and they, everybody, they, they had like crystal houses. Like the entire house was like they just had the richest upper class of all time. But that like nuked the dollar. And so everybody started hating the shah or not the dollar, their currency. Everyone started hating the shot. And that's when the guy Khomeini came in and said, we're actually going to do my way. And since then it's been bad. It's been bad. Yeah, it's been bad. But I just thought there was like a way out of it. There's no. It doesn't seem like there is. I don't think I can solve this for them.

[Dan]

No.

[Brandon Walker]

It'll be amazing if you did over here. Was that what you were like? That was your intention when you were Google?

[Sass]

Yeah, I was like, let me like maybe there's something they're not seeing.

[Dan]

I got a free afternoon, see if

[Kate]

I can fix

[Brandon Walker]

up on Widows Bay

[Sass]

or figure out Iran 10,000 foot view of it. Like maybe they just haven't looked at it from Iranians.

[Dan]

They're too close to the problem, Right?

[Kate]

Exactly.

[Kyle]

Open to it. Why don't you try this?

[Ron]

You're going to Goodwill hunting Iran.

[Sass]

Probably easy for me.

[Ron]

The shock board.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, you solve Iran and your fault run away.

[Sass]

Maybe they just need to be told it's not their fault.

[Kyle]

Persian hoes are gas now.

[Sass]

No, he's right though.

[Brandon Walker]

Come on.

[Sass]

He's right though.

[Kyle]

Yeah. A lot of them still have like an extreme affinity for opulence and gold

[Sass]

and Shaws of Sunset is a show about that on Bravo.

[Greg]

That show's crazy.

[Sass]

Yeah.

[Dan]

What's the best Bravo Right now I need to get back in.

[Sass]

I mean, summer house.

[Dan]

That's it.

[Brandon Walker]

But that's about to change, isn't Summer house every night. That's Love Island. Oh, that's crazy.

[Dan]

I want. I want a house.

[Sass]

Salt Lake, Rhode Island. Rhode island is good. That's brand new.

[Dan]

It just started.

[Sass]

Just started. You couldn't.

[Dan]

Are they trashy?

[Sass]

They're the word. They're. Yeah, yeah, they're trashy.

[Dan]

Hell yeah. That's the thing is like I liked a little bit of the trashy they have.

[Sass]

Like there's one woman on Rhode island that has a. A husband for six months of the year and then for another six months of the year it's. That's just someone else's husband. Oh, and this is in Rhode Island.

[Brandon Walker]

That's a pretty. Do you think he prefers one half of the year more than the other has to? Yeah.

[Kate]

Why would you just go full time?

[Brandon Walker]

Such a shitty hat. My winter hoe.

[Sass]

Wait, why wouldn't he go full time? What Brandon? What do you mean? Well, if with one of the.

[Kate]

He likes one 6 months and hates the other 6 months, why not just go full 12 months with the one and a patent?

[Sass]

Well, I think one is the having the cake and the other is eating it too.

[Dan]

Imagine the sex on the last day of school.

[Sass]

Oh yeah.

[Dan]

I'll see in six months. Maybe he'll try anything.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah. Go eight and four.

[Sass]

That'd be devastating to lose two months. Cuz I think he's wealthy enough to be able to do it. Have you watched it all?

[Ron]

That's not awesome.

[Dan]

Wait, that's not a wealth thing though. That's not like once you get to a certain amount, you get to have

[Sass]

two wives somehow it is for this guy.

[Ron]

It's a great idea.

[Brandon Walker]

That's sick. If you could support two wives.

[Dan]

Does she have two husbands?

[Sass]

No.

[Greg]

What does he do?

[Sass]

He's like kind of like a mystery figure on this show. I don't know. He's like very.

[Brandon Walker]

Is he on camera?

[Sass]

I don't, I don't remember. I'm not sure.

[Dan]

All right, I'm in.

[Kate]

So when he just single second. When he's gone to his other wife for the six months, she's just single?

[Sass]

No, she's absolutely not. Yeah, she has like her rich husband at bay.

[Kate]

Oh, okay.

[Dan]

Yeah, but did she get any dick?

[Sass]

Yeah, I don't think she's. I think she's completely deprived of dick for six months.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, that's why it doesn't back. And she's ravenous.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh yeah.

[Sass]

It's like the videos of like when people are about to feed their dog once a day.

[Dante]

Yes.

[Brandon Walker]

Spinning at the door.

[Sass]

Yes. Dude, but it just started like two months ago. Like you. There's probably like six episodes. You could get in like from the ground floor and watch all of it and just fall in love.

[Dan]

Yeah. Because they aged out a lot of the housewives. They retired a bunch of them.

[Sass]

They're like starting a bunch of new shows too. I think they're offering barstool personalities spots on Bravo shows now.

[Kate]

Whoa, who? What?

[Sass]

I'm not sure. I don't know if this.

[Greg]

Is.

[Ron]

Bravo.

[Dan]

Do you guys. Are you guys familiar with green Greg?

[Brandon Walker]

I don't think so.

[Ron]

You seen his clips?

[Dan]

He's next up. Of course he's next up at barstool.

[Sass]

I saw his yesterday. Yeah, he was crushing it yesterday. All green.

[Dan]

Yeah. I don't think you get it. Sass.

[Brandon Walker]

No, I get it.

[Dan]

He's green.

[Brandon Walker]

I love it.

[Sass]

He was in a short sleeve suit.

[Brandon Walker]

I've got a little bit of a green going as well. All right.

[Danny]

Okay.

[Brandon Walker]

It's a saying. Greenhouse.

[Dan]

Hey, it's cool to just let Greg have green, I think.

[Brandon Walker]

I wonder.

[Dan]

You don't have to. Come on, Take it from him.

[Sass]

What are you saying?

[Brandon Walker]

That was so up. Yeah, I'm just saying, you know.

[Sass]

Did you say you have a green hat?

[Dan]

It's green Sass.

[Brandon Walker]

I've got green pants.

[Ron]

Well, let's see.

[Kate]

Greg just green pants.

[Brandon Walker]

Those are hardly green. That's green. That's green.

[Greg]

Yeah, it's a cool shirt.

[Dan]

He doesn't see.

[Brandon Walker]

He didn't like me saying that I'm also green.

[Dan]

That's a pretty cool shirt.

[Ron]

Green shoes too.

[Dan]

You don't want to cross.

[Brandon Walker]

Little hint of green on the shoe.

[Ron]

Dude, you got more green than.

[Brandon Walker]

Green is the one thing he has and you just rip from him.

[Dan]

That's mine.

[Brandon Walker]

There might be a couple other greens.

[Sass]

Those are olive pants.

[Brandon Walker]

It's olive, not green.

[Kate]

Oh, damn.

[Ron]

I heard yesterday Greg bet on Spain against Cape Verde and everyone was getting. It was like one of the biggest upset. Even though it's a tie. 00 is like one of the biggest upsets ever in the World Cup. And he found out after the match that verde is Spanish for green. It's like, what have I done? And everyone in the cave was blaming him for the result.

[Brandon Walker]

Greg, did you like green before we made you green? Greg?

[Dan]

No.

[Sass]

Oh.

[Greg]

Oh, yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

So this was like, awesome that we dream come true. I've always wanted to green. I was just never brave enough to do it myself.

[Dan]

You guys let me come out of my show

[Ron]

green.

[Brandon Walker]

Turquoise, Brandon. Oh, shit.

[Kate]

Yeah, that's. I guess I am what's your new name?

[Brandon Walker]

We're gonna call you that now.

[Sass]

You do wear more turquoise than probably anyone else on this show.

[Kate]

This is probably the first turquoise I've ever worn.

[Brandon Walker]

I think you wear the most colors on the show.

[Kate]

I wear a bunch of colors.

[Sass]

Pastels. Light colors. Light and soft colors.

[Brandon Walker]

Very preppy.

[Sass]

I can't wear a bright, soft color. My skin tone doesn't match it. I bought a yellow shirt last week. Just.

[Max Velocity]

And I don't.

[Sass]

I don't fucking know why.

[Kate]

You don't have confidence to wear it.

[Brandon Walker]

I can't do it.

[Sass]

No. A yellow shirt.

[Dan]

Yeah, I did too. I bought a yellow shirt. Open it up. I bought like a few different shirts and I looked at it.

[Brandon Walker]

I was like, nope.

[Pat]

Yell.

[Sass]

What color yellow is yours?

[Dan]

It was like mustard, not mustard. It was like kind of a. Not neon. It was like a closer neon green than yellow. Kind of like a light yellow sunflower. Yeah, something like that.

[Greg]

You guys gotta let me drape you.

[Danny]

You.

[Kate]

You can't drape us.

[Dante]

I would love.

[Dan]

I'll never ever let you drape.

[Sass]

I'm doing people's colors. You do colors?

[Greg]

See, I had it done to me and it like was life changing. Even though for the past month, nothing.

[Brandon Walker]

Falling asleep to a Japanese lady doing color.

[Greg]

It's so peaceful. And I think if you guys knew your colors, you would go to the next level.

[Kate]

But what qualifies you?

[Dan]

Fine. You can drape me.

[Greg]

Anybody can see it. It's like so obvious once you get draped. If I drape you in gold and you're a cool summer, forget it. Everybody will see it right away.

[Sass]

Do you possess this skill?

[Greg]

I think.

[Kyle]

Okay, then do somebody.

[Greg]

I don't have the drapes on me right now. I need to order a kit.

[Ron]

I give zero thought to this stuff. I just throw on.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Dan]

And I cannot explain how cool of

[Greg]

an experience this was.

[Brandon Walker]

We started off by seeing whether or not we were cool or warm toned.

[Greg]

And we look. He's doing.

[Dan]

Would be really funny if I did this. And they're like, black shirt,

[Kyle]

black tea, black joggers.

[Brandon Walker]

Drops a legends tea around.

[Dan]

Some mugsy jeans and a legends tea. Yeah, you're good to go.

[Brandon Walker]

That'll be $5,000.

[Kate]

You got this done?

[Sass]

Yes.

[Greg]

I had a full bald cap on and like the white thing. And then they.

[Brandon Walker]

Why do you have a bald.

[Ron]

What does that mean?

[Greg]

Cuz you need all color removed from you. You need to be just a face hair anyway.

[Brandon Walker]

Have your hair when you.

[Ron]

You're wearing the.

[Greg]

After which they tell you what Color your hair should be. I should go silver. Cuz I'm a silver.

[Dan]

I'm a cool s. Wait and hold on. Let me guess.

[Brandon Walker]

They.

[Dan]

They have the ability to change your hair color.

[Greg]

No, they don't, but.

[Dan]

Well, that seems stupid.

[Ron]

Yeah. They shaved your nose down a little.

[Greg]

They do sell a whole line of makeup.

[Stephen]

How.

[Brandon Walker]

How much was this procedure? It can't be more than eight.

[Greg]

Pat got it for me for Christmas. It was like very expensive.

[Kyle]

So do they give you the clothes?

[Greg]

There's a lady here. They are all across the country. It's like one main company does these.

[Dan]

Booker, can I. I'll pay for it. Yeah, let's get draped.

[Greg]

Oh my God.

[Kyle]

Do they give you the clothes of the color they.

[Greg]

No, no, but they give you.

[Sass]

There's no clothes.

[Kyle]

So I go there and they're like, your color is maroon. And I'm like, now what? They're like, go get some maroon.

[Greg]

They give you this.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, I have 12 pieces of felt. Get out of here.

[Greg]

Guys. They give you this full thing. You know when you go to the paint store and they have all the color swatches.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Greg]

They give you your giant fanned out color swatch that you can take to the store.

[Brandon Walker]

The paint store sells paint.

[Kate]

How do you know they're right?

[Greg]

Because you can see it.

[Dan]

Exactly what I thought this one would look like. Color.

[Brandon Walker]

Color anal.

[Ron]

Okay, can we watch one and we can guess like without.

[Dan]

Wait, so Kate, I want to book them though. Yes, I will. We will do this on the end.

[Greg]

This would make me so happy.

[Brandon Walker]

She's gold. But wait, no, she's a silver.

[Dan]

She's guessing which.

[Greg]

Oh, wait a minute. Everything you see, you guys are lying. If you can't see which one is it?

[Dan]

This is the most coveted palette.

[Greg]

Especially there's a coveted palette. Everybody wants to be gem tones. 100% true winter.

[Brandon Walker]

Wouldn't that be more difficult?

[Ryan Hall, y']

So cool.

[Dan]

Like if you get gold saturated.

[Greg]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

To go out and find gold that looks fun. Metallic gold.

[Sass]

I have to dress like King Tut

[Brandon Walker]

for the rest of my life. I have to look like CeeLo Green on the red carpet.

[Greg]

No, they give you like a ton of different colors.

[Sass]

We have this C3PO outfit.

[Greg]

I'm going to book this and I'm so excited.

[Sass]

I'll paint gold chest plate.

[Dan]

I want to get. I want to get pal.

[Brandon Walker]

I have to look like a Trojan

[Kate]

warrior from now on.

[Pat]

Dude.

[Greg]

Well, and beforehand I want to guess cuz I think I could name what I think he.

[Sass]

Can you guess now what do you

[Kyle]

go off of, like, face shape.

[Greg]

It could be a little bit of. You're gem tones. You're a gem tones guy.

[Sass]

Most coveted color,

[Dan]

Green.

[Greg]

Nothing else. You got a little bit of red.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Greg]

In your tone. So you'd actually be a silver, not a gold.

[Dan]

Oh, is it.

[Greg]

If you were to get your ear pierced, you would wear a silver earring, not a gold.

[Kate]

You're just saying.

[Brandon Walker]

That's why you haven't pierced your ear yet. You didn't know, but you're actually a gold.

[Greg]

Even though.

[Kate]

Even though what you're.

[Brandon Walker]

Hey, you're guessing. You would typically be a silver, but. But for some reason. Oh, I can't wait.

[Greg]

I'm gonna book it.

[Sass]

It is fascinating.

[Brandon Walker]

Let her know that we're gonna be mean to her.

[Sass]

Wait, what was your. What was your answer, though? So what colors look good on you? What are your, like, colors that you're supposed to.

[Greg]

I'm a cool summer, so I can only do like, pastels. I've said this on here before. She said no more wearing white ever. But I. But chick fil a ice cream white, she said, which is a slightly off, deeper white.

[Brandon Walker]

She said chick fil a nice color.

[Greg]

Exactly.

[Dante]

Like.

[Greg]

Like your pants will look great on my Brandon.

[Brandon Walker]

You got to know that color.

[Kyle]

What is chick fil a ice cream.

[Greg]

Brandon's always wearing chick fil a ice

[Sass]

cream just right by his mouth. You should. What you should do is these are

[Brandon Walker]

my colors to test if this is, like, real or not. You should get a new person and see if you're a silver again.

[Dan]

Yeah, yeah. You do need a second opinion.

[Brandon Walker]

Buy a bunch of different color shirts and then you walk out here and if we get hard, we.

[Greg]

No, I've stopped wearing black, and for the most part.

[Sass]

What about booking two people when you book? And don't tell them that they're both coming in and so have one do them. And then you could kind of not only test everyone's colors, but test the industry to see if they're. If it's quackatology, that would kill me, anxiety wise.

[Greg]

But I. I think it would be good. Gun.

[Brandon Walker]

Can I ask how much this. This thing was that you went. That you did?

[Greg]

I'll have to ask Pat, but I think it was like $500.

[Kyle]

I want to see the How I made.

[Ron]

Hold on. How I made $700,000 last year.

[Dan]

Oh, my God.

[Kate]

Wait. Elegance.

[Greg]

It's timeless.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, my God.

[Dan]

She doesn't shout or scream.

[Greg]

She enters.

[Sass]

Okay.

[Kate]

I want to be her.

[Greg]

Yeah, that's you. This is your palette. Yay.

[Dan]

This is a skill you can learn.

[Greg]

I teach.

[Dan]

Teach this comment training below for info. This is how I made comments.

[Sass]

So she makes.

[Dan]

It's also just confirmation bias at its best. Because you go in, this expert tells you this is your color. Then you wear the color and you walk around feeling more confident. You're like, yeah, this is my color.

[Ron]

And then people see that you're confident. They're like, wow, that looks great. Yeah. When really all you've changed is your confidence.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

No way to measure.

[Ron]

And then it snowballs.

[Dan]

And really just go to a therapist and talk about your relationship with your dad.

[Greg]

I literally have my color squatch out at the store and I'm like holding it up to shirts even though I don't end up buying anything.

[Ron]

This is.

[Greg]

But I'm close.

[Dan]

This is crazy. I'm in.

[Greg]

It's 250 to $500 for an in person. Is like typical for these.

[Brandon Walker]

So per.

[Kyle]

Per.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh my.

[Dan]

Do you think she could do. Do you think she could do like the. What banners we should go after?

[Greg]

She could probably the office.

[Dan]

Yes. I. I imagine the office is not going to go well.

[Brandon Walker]

A lot of colors. She might get like a migraine as soon as she walks in.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

I'm getting so much energy.

[Dan]

My banner, of course. And ca.

[Brandon Walker]

Canceled tj. That's so funny.

[Dan]

Hit it, tj.

[Greg]

Oh, virtual. She could do it virtual.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, my God.

[Kate]

Every.

[Dan]

Every time Brandon gets up. Because he gets up like four times a yak. We're running extra time on him now.

[Ron]

Like stoppage time.

[Dan]

So we have stoppage time on the bottom. Yeah, that's what. He's a crude already today.

[Brandon Walker]

That's actually not that bad.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Danny]

Yeah.

[Dan]

He's done. Okay.

[Ron]

Is he going?

[Brandon Walker]

I feel like this golf is gonna be long.

[Dan]

This one might be a while.

[Sass]

Why is he walking straight over to the golf simulator?

[Brandon Walker]

Is that what he does?

[Ron]

He's got a tea time later. He's gonna get warmed up.

[Kate]

Wait.

[Stephen]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

He just went to go golf.

[Dan]

How is Gruden on? Son of a boy.

[Kate]

Dad.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Great.

[Sass]

He's incredible.

[Dan]

He's just.

[Sass]

He just can tell stories. I can't believe how.

[Brandon Walker]

When's that episode come out? Tomorrow.

[Sass]

Over the break.

[Dan]

There goes Brandon.

[Sass]

Where is he? What was he just doing over there?

[Dan]

Grown. So are you wearing a knee brace right now?

[Sass]

Yeah, I have a knee brace on underneath these. These big pants.

[Dan]

Are you gonna get surgery?

[Sass]

I have to get surgery.

[Greg]

What happened? How'd you hurt it?

[Sass]

I tore my meniscus.

[Greg]

Doing what?

[Sass]

Just living. Yeah, by getting old Old. It's so washed up and old of me.

[Dan]

Does it hurt every day?

[Sass]

It never hurts.

[Dan]

So then don't get surgery.

[Sass]

I said, it's going to eventually get worse. It'll lock up.

[Greg]

How'd you find out? You heard it.

[Sass]

I heard it.

[Dan]

But wait, so. So how long is surgery? Like, the rehab?

[Sass]

It's either going to be, they take out my meniscus and it'll be, I'll be good the next day, but then in 30 years, I'll have bone on bone arthritis and maybe need a knee replacement. 30 chance of knee replacement in 30 years or I get surgery. 2 weeks in a brace, 6 weeks on crutches, 4 months until I can do anything.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, I'm having to take it out.

[Dan]

Silver lining. You will now be able to be like one of those classic sports radio collars. Be like, yeah, I tore my meniscus.

[Sass]

It was.

[Pat]

I was fine.

[Sass]

Get your ass back out there.

[Greg]

Back out there.

[Sass]

Rub some dirt on it.

[Dan]

Yeah. Derrick Rose Tours Academy acl. I tore my acl. I was golfing. Three months later,

[Sass]

dude. An illuminating thing that Gruden said was, he said that when he was in Philly, he would listen to.

[Dan]

Yes.

[Sass]

Sports talk radio.

[Greg]

Yes.

[Sass]

I didn't think any of the people listening.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Sass]

I didn't think any pro athletes listened to sports talk radio.

[Dan]

Do you know what I think? Because that was. Obviously, he wasn't head coach. I think he might have been doing that as a guilty pleasure because they were bashing the head coach.

[Sass]

But then he said, he, he said

[Brandon Walker]

he was getting mashed.

[Dan]

He was.

[Sass]

He just turned it on one day

[Dan]

and they're just going after him.

[Sass]

Yeah. They were just destroying him.

[Brandon Walker]

He said, someone said, like, if Jon Gruden had one less IQ point, he would be a plant.

[Dan]

That's a great line.

[Sass]

Would it? I think it would make people go harder on sports talk radio if they knew that there was a chance that they were listening. Or do you think it would make people more empathetic?

[Kate]

No. Former.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Sass]

Yeah. They would have to be like, I,

[Dan]

I know this is working.

[Sass]

Like last season, the Eagles, like, like Kevin Patul is probably getting killed. And he was probably.

[Dan]

He was like, house egged.

[Sass]

He got his house egged. He probably was listening.

[Dan]

He still works for the Eagles too, right? Maybe not.

[Sass]

No, he's on the Dolphin staff now.

[Stephen]

That's right.

[Kate]

Oh, yeah.

[Dan]

I met Sean Manion. I asked him, I was like, you ready to get your house egg? He's like, hopefully not.

[Sass]

The reports on early reports on him. I mean, it's based on not much but that he's a evil genius.

[Dan]

Yeah man, it can't be worse than it was last year.

[Sass]

Jordan my lotta said that if they locked the three smartest people in the room in the building in one room together, it'd just be him three times. Whoa, this is a great quote.

[Brandon Walker]

It doesn't even make sense that that also implies you don't have anybody else smart.

[Dan]

Yes, yes, that might be Jordan. Myolata's concussed just seeing three Sean Manions all the time. See when you do your ad read.

[Stephen]

Yes, from the minds of Nick Torani and myself comes who's the bad guy? The latest social deduction game made for four to 10 players. The game is perfect for a night in with the friends or family or a full on game night. Try to figure out if those you trust most are lying directly to your face. Pick it up [e-mail] today for under $15. Again, who's the bad [e-mail]?

[Sass]

i don't want to give too much away about the interview, but we also were peppering him about who he would take from barstool to a coaching staff and Stephen, your name. No didn't come up.

[Dan]

This guy already has enough.

[Sass]

I'm just, I'm just reporting the news. Stephen, that's awesome.

[Stephen]

That's great to hear.

[Sass]

It says that he could take you with you and you would do great.

[Dan]

Stephen's on an all time heat.

[Kate]

Yeah, that's, that's, that's about enough.

[Stephen]

That is really cool to hear.

[Sass]

Yeah, you had to be.

[Dan]

I just do that.

[Brandon Walker]

We're gonna cut it out of the episode though. What am I leaving? You guys don't cut anything. No, you just keep forcing trouble, brother.

[Kyle]

Tomorrow.

[Brandon Walker]

I leave tomorrow.

[Dan]

What time's your flight?

[Kate]

No time for fishing.

[Brandon Walker]

2:30.

[Dan]

All right. So you're not leaving. You'll be on the act tomorrow.

[Brandon Walker]

It's gonna be a tornado.

[Greg]

For real?

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, like, like a hundred damn tornadoes. That's really sucks to hear, Ron.

[Ron]

You got pulled like that. Like you. You're coming here for the dozen and the whole crew just fall.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh yeah.

[Ron]

That's crazy.

[Sass]

Well, I was just leader.

[Ron]

I. Yeah, it's.

[Sass]

It's been. We were just talking about how easy it's been this week. Like we're banking ahead for the break and we just want to have like some variance and I was just like let's just bank. And I, I'm trying to get them to stay longer to, to just keep on banking. I'm Like, I think we finish. I think we can knock the summer out. I think we can speed run the whole series.

[Kyle]

I thought about that.

[Ron]

Oh, do the whole show.

[Dan]

Yeah, the whole show.

[Brandon Walker]

Finish it.

[Sass]

Do the finale.

[Kyle]

Dude, going on like a meth bender and doing like four a day for six months.

[Ron]

That's like a game.

[Kyle]

Your career is set.

[Dan]

It is kind of, because we do something similar. Like when we go to super bowl or like Lake Tahoe where we just get like eight interviews and it's like, this is awesome.

[Sass]

Yeah, it's nice.

[Brandon Walker]

Especially Gruden.

[Stephen]

It was like.

[Sass]

Yeah, you just sit back and just let him cocks.

[Dan]

Yeah, the best.

[Greg]

Best.

[Sass]

The other one we did today, not as good, but.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, yeah, that one was. That was Francis's fault. No, that was great. And you guys have like water in this building where you can. It's huge. Yeah, dry the throat. You can wet the throat after podcast. Exactly.

[Sass]

KCK has just been sending me pictures of him pouring waters down the drain. Just flexing on me. That you guys in a drought in New York? It's a bad drought.

[Brandon Walker]

Big drought.

[Sass]

And Katic and Ella got there for something. They were shooting and they're like, what's going on out here?

[Brandon Walker]

What's going on?

[Dan]

Yeah, that's like the first sign. They just don't send us water anymore.

[Kyle]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

They're closing the doors.

[Greg]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Excuse the lights on your phone. They're parching you guys out.

[Ryan Hall, y']

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

Rig said the phone flashlight's better than any flashlight, dude. He said that in passing five years ago. And you bring it up so much.

[Dan]

When did he say that?

[Brandon Walker]

He pulled out his headphone. Is the most powerful weapon.

[Kate]

What?

[Brandon Walker]

In like a company wide meeting. It was like when we were with like Penn still. I was sitting next to you and you. I think you were just like, come on.

[Sass]

He stood up and talked.

[Brandon Walker]

No, he said it on. He was in Arizona or something. He was like on zoom.

[Sass]

He was like.

[Brandon Walker]

And he held up his phone and he was like, this is the most powerful weapon on the planet. He like wiggled it a little bit too ye. This right here?

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Sass]

I don't know.

[Dan]

I'd take one of those, like nuclear drones they have.

[Brandon Walker]

Definitely give me a gun.

[Dan]

The ones that are just like seeking out a single guy in a pit, taunting them before they kill him.

[Brandon Walker]

What's more dangerous? Somehow man with a gun or Rigs with the phone.

[Dan]

Well, that always ends up on Twitter.

[Sass]

Yeah. I was watching a Twitter video yesterday of like a military style plane trying to evade multiple like missiles that were just Chasing it. Like just going everywhere that it went. Just dropping other like bombs to try and like flares. They hitting the flare. But they had so many flares. A lot of flares to even just dodge them. I think eventually they got them. You got to eject.

[Brandon Walker]

That shit's crazy. The siren might be a problem.

[Dan]

Yeah, yeah. I'm going to have to take it away. I'm going have to take it away.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, is that what that is? Someone just like very slowly. Yeah. Ominously cranking the crank is going to be.

[Dan]

Stop cranking.

[Kyle]

Who's cr. Who's cranking?

[Dan]

Stop cranking.

[Brandon Walker]

Who's ideal? Who the is.

[Sass]

Dude,

[Kyle]

good crank.

[Brandon Walker]

Great crank. Love that. Love that. Crushing it.

[Dan]

All right, we have a guest.

[Brandon Walker]

No way.

[Kate]

I'm not. I'm not in here for this.

[Dan]

No.

[Ron]

You guys.

[Brandon Walker]

Velocity.

[Dan]

Max. What's up, Max? Dude, just had Ryan Hall, y' all on and we didn't know that there's like competing weather guys.

[Kate]

There are.

[Stephen]

Yeah, there.

[Max Velocity]

There's really two of us in the. The national weather space right now, so.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Brandon Walker]

I like your neon sign, man.

[Kyle]

Thank you.

[Max Velocity]

Appreciate that. I got that like four years ago off Amazon.

[Dan]

So when did you. When did you become Max Velocity? Because. Incredible name.

[Max Velocity]

Yeah. So I actually had somebody in my chat back in 2022 when I was doing a weather live stream to like, I don't know, maybe a coup. People say you should name yourself Max Velocity. And I'm like, all right. Sounds like a cool name. Because before I was named North Texas Weather center, and that's really lame. More fun.

[Kate]

So we're.

[Dan]

We're in Chicago.

[Dante]

We.

[Dan]

We had Ryan, Holly, y' all on because we started talking about tornadoes. Are we fucked tomorrow?

[Max Velocity]

I think it's going to be more to the south of Chicago, but I honestly think tomorrow could be a really big outbreak. I mean, we're probably talking multiple long track strong tornadoes and they are going to be going so fast. I mean, we're looking at storms that are moving east at like 70 miles per hour.

[Kyle]

Yep.

[Max Velocity]

So it's going to be, I think, a really long day. I think Chicago might miss out on the worst of it, but I definitely still think there's a risk of. Of tornadoes up there even too.

[Brandon Walker]

What if you were to fly out of Chicago tomorrow around 2?

[Stephen]

Is that.

[Brandon Walker]

Is that not looking good?

[Max Velocity]

I think 2 is going to be okay. I think anytime after 2 is going to be a little bit more tricky though. I think storm will be around like four.

[Brandon Walker]

And what about 232?

[Max Velocity]

30. Oh, you're starting to cut close and

[Sass]

you're going east too. That's the direction that they're going. 70 miles an hour east.

[Dan]

So. So Max, how did you get your start in this?

[Max Velocity]

Yeah, so I'm actually a degree meteorologist. I went to college at Embry Riddle in Daytona Beach, Florida. It's a pretty small university, graduated back in May of last year. And I've been doing this full time for pretty much three or four years now, at least national wise other. But graduating from college, I actually had the freedom to do this legitimately full time. I mean before I was juggling this and also doing college, which was basically 90 hours a week. So still doing a lot of time per week since I'm owning a business. But it is, it takes a lot of time out of you, especially when you're doing weather like this, especially national. I mean, you know, the last couple weeks we've been live, I think nine of the last 12 days or something crazy. So yeah, there's a lot of weather that's happening right now.

[Ron]

Time in your life, you did the green screen thing. You stand in front and do the, do all that. The.

[Max Velocity]

Actually funny enough, I have a green screen back here.

[Ron]

Oh really?

[Max Velocity]

We have used it, we have used it on stream. I, I've never gone to the TV route though. I have done like a couple of, I don't know what you call but like basically shadowings at TV stations where I would use the green screen. I, you know, do like a one day thing with like a, a degree meteorologist, but I haven't done that in years. But I've done the green screen before, just never like actually as a job.

[Brandon Walker]

You have the voice for it.

[Ron]

Yeah. You seem really good on air, obviously.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, yeah. And is your actual name Max?

[Max Velocity]

Yes. Oh, yes, My name's Max.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Max Velocity]

And my last name's not Velocity, but

[Brandon Walker]

I kind of want it to be.

[Dan]

Yeah. And then how many are you gonna have guys on the ground tomorrow that are chasing these storms?

[Max Velocity]

Yeah, we, we have dozens of storm chasers. They're gonna be out there. Thousands of live cameras. I mean it'll be pretty crazy. I think we have a pretty solid team of about 12 storm chasers and then we have a lot of other ones that we utilize as well, so. So yeah, we have a lot of people out there. It's, it's like a whole hands on deck kind of day.

[Sass]

What.

[Dan]

Are there any storm chasers that double dip and do Max Velocity and Ryan Hall, y'?

[Ron]

All?

[Max Velocity]

Yeah, so there's some people that Are, like, exclusive with Ryan or exclusive with me, and then there's a mix of people that are kind of just, you know, just out there. I mean, they're not with anybody in particular, so. Yeah, there are certain select people that are with one or the other, not both. But a lot of the time, these storm chasers, even though they are exclusive with Ryan or me, they're usually on the same storm, so.

[Kate]

Right.

[Max Velocity]

Honestly, I think it has more just do with the personalities and the perspective of what they're looking at on a storm. So.

[Ryan Hall, y']

And.

[Brandon Walker]

And do you.

[Dan]

Do you give, like, bonuses for bigger storms?

[Max Velocity]

Sometimes, Yeah. I mean, just. It just depends. I mean, if the chaser's doing well, then, you know, it. It just. It all varies.

[Brandon Walker]

When you're hiring a new chaser to the squad, what do you look.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

What's the recruiting process?

[Max Velocity]

Well, there's a lot of different things you look for. I mean, one, the chaser themselves, they have a really good personality. They kind of blend with the brand like we have. I mean, we. We definitely consider bringing them on. Their audience as well can play a factor. We are partnered with a weather app called Weatherfront now, and so that kind of plays a little bit of a role, too. But, yeah, honestly, it's. It's, I think more of just a likability thing. Like, if I really like the chaser and they're out there a lot, and it just makes sense to bring them on. Like, we're going to bring them on.

[Ron]

So should we send someone to. Can we get someone in the mix?

[Dan]

Yeah, I mean, I. I asked this question, Ryan, but the. So we're in Chicago. If I were to get in my car tomorrow, do you think I'd be able to find a tornado?

[Max Velocity]

I. Honestly, I would probably say no. I mean, you could if you position yourself perfectly, but with how fast these storms are going to be moving, you're gonna have to go, like, 80 miles per hour.

[Dan]

Well, hold on, hold on, Max. I didn't give you. I didn't give you the whole. I. I drive a Range Rover. Okay, so does that change your answer?

[Brandon Walker]

All the bells and whistles?

[Max Velocity]

If you got all the upgrades on the vehicle, I think you'll be able to get.

[Dan]

Oh, I. I got them all.

[Max Velocity]

You got to buy the most premium version of the Range Rover.

[Dan]

I got that.

[Kate]

Okay.

[Dan]

Z. Zah. Here is your biggest fan, Max.

[Pat]

Big. I mean, it's a big moment. Big fan up here. Thank you. Thank you. I just want to pass on a message. If you could tell Riley congratulations on the Graduation. I greatly appreciate that, but I'll be watching you. I'll you tomorrow night. I'll be locked.

[Max Velocity]

Awesome.

[Pat]

Tuned in.

[Stephen]

Sounds.

[Max Velocity]

Sounds good. Appreciate that. I'll let him know.

[Dan]

Any other questions for him? Oh, I did also ask Ryan, is it true that tornadoes are more scared of us than we are of them?

[Max Velocity]

Yes.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Stephen]

Wow.

[Dan]

That's true. That's good. That's good to know.

[Stephen]

We had kind of a group question about the ozone layer.

[Dan]

Oh, yeah.

[Stephen]

I use, like, sunscreen for my kids. That's like the aerosol.

[Dan]

This is not bottles.

[Kate]

What the.

[Stephen]

What is.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, my God.

[Kyle]

This feels like.

[Stephen]

Is that.

[Sass]

Is that bad?

[Stephen]

And does that affect the weather?

[Dan]

That was not the question, but go ahead.

[Ron]

We are not asking this. Try to say. This is a group question.

[Dan]

What do you know about seiche waves?

[Kate]

God damn it.

[Max Velocity]

Seiche waves?

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Max Velocity]

I'm gonna be honest. I've never even heard of them.

[Pat]

Wow.

[Kate]

All right.

[Dan]

I taught you something today, okay. They're like tsunamis in a lake.

[Kate]

Interesting.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Kate]

Oh, have you.

[Max Velocity]

Have you guys heard about the chemtrails?

[Dan]

Yeah. Those are real?

[Brandon Walker]

No. I like this guy on Facebook.

[Max Velocity]

It is unbelievable how many people think chemtrails are a thing.

[Brandon Walker]

Like you.

[Max Velocity]

I posted a photo of a sun halo on. On Facebook one day, and there was, like, a nice little iridescence, like, you know, rainbow looking thing, and then there was, like, one long, large contrail behind it, and everybody's like, oh, they're spraying the skies again. I'm like, are you.

[Brandon Walker]

Are you kidding?

[Sass]

But I have seen that there's a lot of weather manipulation going on in Dubai, that they're creating artificial rain in arid climates like in Dubai. Do you think that that's something that we have to worry about in the United States at any time?

[Max Velocity]

It's so small scale. I don't think it makes that much of a difference to, like, our weather, for example. I mean, it's. Or even, you know, Dubai's weather. I. I don't think it's, like, enough to really prove that, like, the weather modification thing is making a dramatic change to, like, us see tornadoes or anything like that. So in my opinion, I think it's just so minuscule right now, and it's really on small scale. I mean, they've been doing it in California, too. They've been at least trying certain things, but I. I haven't seen anything or any proof that it's actually making a major difference to our weather pattern.

[Sass]

Is there a way to maybe slow down a tornado? Maybe perhaps blowing wind counterclockwise there are ways.

[Max Velocity]

You know, I'll be honest, though. Like, I think a lot of them are just not, not like feasible. I mean, you need like a really, really large fan. We're talking not even like the big ass fans that you can buy at Costco. We're talking, like, you're gonna need something that's like at least a thousand feet tall, probably to really slow anything down. So I, I just don't think anything's feasible. Maybe one day, though, I don't know, maybe. Maybe like the, the military will figure something out and like, I don't know, fly to them and maybe it'll stop it. I don't know.

[Brandon Walker]

What if you dug a really big pit?

[Max Velocity]

A big pit.

[Sass]

Oh, and it falls in?

[Dan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

And then I don't think.

[Max Velocity]

I don't think it'll make that much cover it up. It would, it would have to be like, you'd have to like, make like a large pit, like at least a mile or two wide, probably from like west to east to make any difference. And if a tornado goes right up that pit from south to north, it's still going to be down.

[Brandon Walker]

Like, to save these towns, we got to dig out a mile wide.

[Dan]

What if you just. What if you catch the Tasmanian Devil at the bottom of every tornado?

[Max Velocity]

That would be interesting.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Brandon Walker]

All right, Maybe.

[Max Velocity]

Maybe we'll see that tomorrow.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Max Velocity]

What's going to happen. Be happening tomorrow? It might happen.

[Dan]

Stephen, go ahead, ask your question. Let's ask one more question. Go ahead. The aerosol.

[Stephen]

Okay, so if you're spraying spray paint, does that affect the ozone layer? And how does that affect the weather?

[Max Velocity]

So the ozone layer stuff was a lot, A lot of the aerosol stuff happened like decades ago. And so if you know about, like, Australia, for example, and like down in the Southern Hemisphere, there's this really large ozone hole that has been going on for, you know, decades now. I don't think it's as much of a problem nowadays as it used to be because, like, back in the day, they did not know that this was even a thing.

[Danny]

Thing.

[Max Velocity]

Nowadays, most of these sunscreen brands and stuff like that do not, like, affect the ozone layer. So I think for the most part it's not as much of an issue. There are certain products, I think, that still do affect it, but I don't think those are like, I don't know if they're even legal in the United States. I can't remember. So.

[Dan]

All right, well, Max, thank you so much. We'll tune in tomorrow and you're the man for coming on in such short notice.

[Max Velocity]

Absolutely. Thank you for the time. Appreciate that.

[Dan]

All right, everyone. Go subscribe to Max Velocity. Thanks, man. Max.

[Brandon Walker]

Z, you were right.

[Dan]

Those guys.

[Pat]

Brandon, my guy dog walks.

[Brandon Walker]

Dog walks on a leash.

[Pat]

That's my guy, Velocity.

[Dan]

Come on, man.

[Kate]

Half the followers of My Guy Velocity was damn good.

[Ron]

Good.

[Brandon Walker]

He's got the name.

[Greg]

Great voice. Great voice.

[Ron]

I like his presentation.

[Kate]

Ain't no way you watch how many will be watching Ryan Hall, y', all, tomorrow.

[Ron]

Ryan Hall. We'll say.

[Dan]

Yeah, Ryan Hall, y'.

[Ryan Hall, y']

All.

[Ron]

If you could get Max Velocity in Ryan Hall. Setup.

[Dan]

Yeah. Ryan Hall. Y' all looked like he was a setup that, like, made the weather.

[Sass]

Do you think that they ever break a storm together? Like when Adam Schefter and Ian Rapaport, like, both. Both release a trade or something.

[Ron]

She just lit. She just goes, yeah.

[Kate]

I finally saw Chay in the window

[Dan]

as you said that.

[Ron]

CH was like.

[Kate]

Yes.

[Ron]

Like.

[Dan]

Yeah, now you're speaking my language wrong.

[Brandon Walker]

Z, what was your question about Riley's graduation?

[Kyle]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Pat]

So Riley. Riley is one of his lead analysts that he cuts to every single time he missed the last stream. Actually, was it the last stream?

[Ron]

You're just proven, you know, ball.

[Pat]

He missed. He missed two streams ago because he had. He had a graduation thing. Big fan.

[Stephen]

His own graduation.

[Pat]

His own graduation.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Pat]

He has a degree. I think it's a bachelor's in whatever the. It's called meteor or whatever.

[Brandon Walker]

Thought you watch it all the time. You don't have meteorology.

[Kyle]

Big fan.

[Sass]

You said 99 of the word meteorology or whatever.

[Dan]

Put the full tip in.

[Pat]

Dude, English.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, yeah, you were teasing.

[Kate]

English.

[Pat]

English. Came to Zimbabwe on a ship.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, good point. Good point.

[Pat]

Whatever the.

[Dan]

Oh, all right.

[Brandon Walker]

That was awesome.

[Dan]

[Brandon Walker]

Extra time.

[Dan]

All right. Extra time. All right. There it is.

[Brandon Walker]

There we go.

[Dan]

Every time you stood up.

[Brandon Walker]

New thing.

[Kyle]

You are here forever.

[Dan]

[Kate]

Dude.

[Kyle]

Good.

[Dan]

He actually.

[Pat]

[Kyle]

Smart move.

[Dan]

100% leave. He's so gone.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Greg]

Super sweet.

[Dan]

That's the thing with Brandon, is he. He doesn't do it as a joke when he says he's leaving.

[Brandon Walker]

No, leave.

[Dan]

He just leaves. Whether the show's over or not, he's out.

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, he's gone. Tuesdays you don't. He watches the clock.

[Danny]

Oh yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

He will be on the traffic app. He had logged into his country club. I watch his phone a lot of the show. Logged into his country club's portal. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kate]

There he is.

[Sass]

What were you doing with Brandon this weekend?

[Brandon Walker]

Went to see Nate Bargazi.

[Sass]

Really?

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, it was great.

[Sass]

That's nice. Was he funny?

[Brandon Walker]

He was funny, but I realized he looks exactly like my dad and that was weird. He does kind of look like your dad. He looks exactly like my straight ass dad. And that I didn't realize until I saw him.

[Sass]

Someone was complaining recently that he's too well dressed, that Barazzi is too well dressed. Did that bother you at all?

[Brandon Walker]

He's wearing a hood hoodie, you know. And what did that make you feel? Anger?

[Sass]

Yeah, it was pissed question from that extremely well dressed man over there.

[Brandon Walker]

Great show. But what was up with the hoodie? Yeah, come on, man, you're a comedian. Take yourself a little less seriously.

[Dan]

Oh, man. Yep, warming up.

[Ron]

There he is. Playing.

[Dan]

Nice shot.

[Brandon Walker]

Gin's filming it.

[Greg]

This

[Sass]

green's bought in. Man, I can't wait till chase on. On Gruden's staff.

[Brandon Walker]

I. Dude, I genuinely think it's a matter of time.

[Sass]

What do you. What position do you think you'll have on the staff though?

[Stephen]

Che, probably quality control.

[Sass]

And what does that mean?

[Stephen]

That's where you start.

[Ron]

What does that. What does that do? Was that day to day?

[Stephen]

That's just like running the errands and like helping out, cutting up film for. For guys and depending on what your position group is, but yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

So if you got that job, would you take it?

[Stephen]

No, I love it here. This is my favorite job.

[Brandon Walker]

What if they were gonna pay you like $10 million a year?

[Stephen]

I mean, that would never happen. But no, I love it here. This is. This is the best job I can get off.

[Sass]

How about that film watchers Instagram account though? Are you watching his top 10 plays of the year?

[Stephen]

Dude, you're the only person that messaged me about that. I was. That I was legitimately starstruck when I saw that guy at the Madden bowl last week. That was very, very cool.

[Dan]

Oh yeah, that kid's awesome.

[Sass]

Yeah, he's awesome. Yeah, he's great.

[Stephen]

I was the first person to ever ask a picture to recognize him and ask for a picture.

[Dan]

You were?

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Brandon Walker]

That's pretty sick. That's pretty cool.

[Dan]

That is Pretty cool.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Sass]

How. How young is he? He looks like he's like 23. He'll be older, but he. He knows ball big time.

[Dan]

And he gets so excited.

[Sass]

Yeah.

[Dan]

So excited about just any type of wrinkle.

[Stephen]

He said he.

[Dan]

Ben Johnson puts a tight end in motion for the.

[Sass]

Oh my God. Yeah.

[Stephen]

I asked him how he got so educated on. He said he was a center in high school and then just really took to the like analytical part of it and the play calling and just watches. He said during the season he's watching like 60 hours of tape a week and then he's taping I think 20 and then another like 5 to 10 for editing. So that guy's just all ball.

[Sass]

Absolute grinder. All balls. All ball grinder.

[Kate]

Yeah.

[Sass]

So nice.

[Dan]

Love that.

[Sass]

I can't wait to see what your guys colors are too. What if Titus winds up being a tie dye?

[Brandon Walker]

Oh, that'd be perfect.

[Ron]

A lot of sense. Be great for my current wardrobe. Yeah, I wouldn't have to change my much sass.

[Dan]

I hope you get stranded here.

[Brandon Walker]

It's definitely a possibility.

[Kate]

Forever.

[Sass]

It's possible cuz your guys first flights got canceled on the way out and your whole itinerary got canceled.

[Ron]

Yeah.

[Sass]

Did you even get on the 230 flight?

[Brandon Walker]

Yeah, already on it.

[Sass]

Bail from it, bro.

[Dan]

Cancel that.

[Brandon Walker]

I got to go on the road on Friday.

[Kate]

Where?

[Brandon Walker]

North Carolina. Wilmington.

[Dan]

Buy tickets.

[Brandon Walker]

Buy tickets. Dead Crow Comedy Club.

[Dan]

There we go.

[Brandon Walker]

Uncle Website dot com. Nah, I didn't put them on the website. Ah, didn't feel like it.

[Dan]

Good business decision. All right, that was extra time.

[Ron]

Extra time.

[Dan]

Let's spin the wheel.

[Brandon Walker]

Oh yeah. We started doing this thing at the end of the show.

[Dan]

And we're good. All right, see everyone tomorrow.

[Sass]

It's the act.

[Dan]

It's the act.
