The “Yug Leaderboard” competition lives on, with plenty of mishaps and irreverent humor. Season two promises even less filter, more beer, and a renewed dedication to the art (and disaster) of live podcast chugging.

For returning listeners: The Yug Station’s energy is undiminished—Dana and crew are just as wild, and the chug leaderboard antics are as unpredictable as ever.
For new listeners: Expect an unfiltered, comedic, and very Barstool-style take on beer, banter, and broadcast mishaps.
