Yug Station – Episode 2 with Hannah Montoya
Host: Dana Beers (Barstool Sports)
Guest: Hannah Montoya
Date: November 1, 2025
Episode Overview
The second episode of Yug Station continues its boozy tradition as host Dana Beers welcomes Hannah Montoya for a lighthearted and chaotic beer-chugging showdown. The main theme remains: friendly competition, nonsense banter, and attempting to outdo each other on the now-infamous Yug Leaderboard. The episode progresses with Dana, Hannah, and off-mic producers discussing leaderboard tactics, personal bests, and the joyfully absurd spirit of the show.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
The Leaderboard Rivalry (00:55–03:00)
- Dana reminds listeners of the Yug Leaderboard standings: “Big Cat's in the lead, I'm in second, so I don't—Big Cat, do you think I'm allowed to change my score?” (Dana, 01:10)
- The playful banter highlights a recurring question: Can hosts and guests retry or improve their leaderboard scores?
- Contestants (and producer Caitlyn) debate the logistics and fairness:
- Dana: “No, if you get better, that's the score. All right. You could be second and third right now.” (Dana, 01:30)
- The tone is unserious and teasing, reflecting the show’s irreverent culture.
Beer Chugging Antics (03:15–06:00)
- Technical difficulties add to the chaos as the group realizes they need to swap out a keg:
- “We got to change out the keg. But we do have two beers.” (Producer, 00:35)
- The hosts and guests banter about preparation and who drank the most during tests.
- The main event: Dana’s turn at the chug is clocked at 11 seconds, though confusion reigns about timing and scoring.
- Hannah’s turn follows, but no specific time is announced for her until the episode's conclusion.
Scoring Confusion and Not Taking It Too Seriously (06:30–10:00)
- Dana’s philosophy: “My scores don’t count until my eighth beer. Except the first one. Just trust me on this, all right?” (Dana, 09:10)
- Hannah and the (off-mic) team tease Dana about potentially making up the rules as he goes, questioning the integrity (with good humor) of the competition:
- “I'm starting to think you made this all up just to drink. It’s like you don’t care.” (Hannah, 09:20)
- The podcast’s charm is its nonsense—everyone embraces the silliness and zero-stakes format.
Episode Sign-Off & Leaderboard Update (11:20–End)
- The episode wraps with the final scores:
- “11:58, Hannah Montoya, third place. Congratulations. That's Yug Station, episode two.” (Dana, 11:40)

- “This is so dumb, but I love it so much.” (Dana, 11:50)

Summary
Episode 2 of Yug Station leans into its freewheeling, beer-fueled fun with Dana Beers, Hannah Montoya, and the Barstool crew.

As Dana puts it, “This is so dumb, but I love it so much”—and that’s exactly the point.
