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)
• Everyone acknowledges the ridiculousness, but also the fun:
  • “This is so dumb, but I love it so much.” (Dana, 11:50)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

Summary
