Thank you
Missed you too
Yeah
Missed everybody
You feeling better?
I am feeling better
Yeah
A lot better
You making it here safely today?
I did
I had a rough couple weeks
But this
We're not in the city
We're well outside the city
Right
So you guys are a lot closer to me
Than you were in the city
That's a fact
We drove an hour to get here
And how far
We had to drive an hour north
Right
I had to drive 45 hour north. Right.
I had to drive 45 minutes south.
You live so far away.
I live very far away, yes.
It is so great.
You live in Illinois or Wisconsin?
I live on the Wisconsin line. Okay, I'm trying to figure that out.
And I love it.
Yes.
I love it.
I love it here.
I was happy to see you.
Not as happy to see, I mean, Ben Mintz.
I mean, he's the king of the south.
He's literally the king of the South.
But we've got to reclaim the throne.
We've got to do some work for him.
We've got to do a lot of work.
We've got to read.
Not a big deal, but you knew I was going to be here today
because I texted you last night and said, I'm good to go.
I got cleared by the doctor.
And then you went out and bought him a plane ticket.
Correct.
Did you get him a return flight?
No.
I don't think he didn't want a return flight.
He said he wants to see the vibe.
So we're recruiting Mincy to Chicago.
Hank's taking him out to dinner.
PFT's taking him out to lunch.
Nick's doing a gangbang with him.
And I said I'd drive you to the airport.
Really?
On an airport?
Wait a minute.
What?
The airport ride?
Yeah.
What about the gangbang, dude? I feel like I'm more surprised by the airport ride than the gangbang? Yeah. What about the gangbang, dude?
I feel like I'm more surprised by the airport ride than the gangbang.
Yeah.
That makes no sense.
I guess that's a really bad bar for me then.
Yeah.
Yeah, wow.
Big Cat being a decent friend instead of group sex with Nick is the shock.
I mean, that's just such a nice thing, airport ride.
I feel like this is a special recruiting visit, Dan.
I'm getting some five-star treatment.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, yeah, obviously everyone tuning in right now,
the big news was yesterday.
It's fucking crazy.
Barstool is back owned by Dave.
It's awesome.
I'm excited.
We can say rape.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just wouldn't like a good excuse.
Well, I remember the day that – all right.
So a lot of people are going to say like everything changed.
I truly didn't think that much changed.
Under Penn, I know people are going to protest this.
There are definitely some things that are better now that we're going to get to do like we weren't allowed to say rape.
But like for the most part, this show was running without very little edits.
Yeah.
But yeah, it's still exciting.
I'm not diminishing.
Yesterday's awesome.
I'm so excited.
I actually, Majestic will be here in 20 minutes.
Oh, yeah.
That's true.
That is the stripper.
Full nude this time.
We could just do a list of the things.
Completely nude.
What else?
Brandon and Nick, you guys had a segment.
So we had a segment that Dave cut off.
That's right.
I don't know if we can put that out. Also, we had
the segment that when
Tommy won the raffle. Oh, yeah.
The raffle lottery. Oh, that's right.
Which we can now do again.
I changed what I said. Oh, wait, you owe
Tommy $700. Yeah, I do.
But that actually, no, that's, no, no.
Yes, you did. No. Wasn't that
the deal? It was points.
It was points. It was very clearly points.
Who's to say what a point is?
Who knows what a point is?
Does anyone know what a point is?
But, yeah, it's exciting.
I'm very excited.
It's awesome that Dave bought back Barstool.
Yeah, I don't really know what else to say besides it's awesome.
They said we can also drink during, like, sponsored events.
Oh.
So Kyle and I will be blacking out for bowling. Yeah, so we're bowling
today. We're doing a 16-person
bowling tournament today.
I think it's on the part of my TakeYouTube.
But yeah.
Che bowled last night.
Che bowled last night.
We're doing a bowling tournament today.
What was I supposed to do last night?
Prepare to win.
Kate's going to give birth live on air now that we don't have any regulations.
Oh, wow.
Ben, have you ever seen birth?
I have not.
Wait a minute.
Can we show him a video?
We won't show it on the screen, but Ben, I want you to watch a birth right now.
Live react.
Oh, yeah.
Let's do that.
Let's watch.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's a good idea.
I can try and blow it out.
Can't lose parlay's back.
Oh, okay.
I was actually thinking about that.
Yeah, watching live.
But we still do gambling content, right?
Yes.
Okay, I was curious about that.
Yes.
I'll talk to you about that after.
But, yeah, everything is going to be great.
I'm very excited.
So good to have you back, man.
Thank you, Brandon.
I want to say this.
Brandon was texting me every two weeks checking on me all summer.
Oh, shit.
That's nice.
That's nice of you.
That's weirdo behavior.
Did your...
Making sure he was gone.
I don't want to watch this. Is it going?
Is it playing?
What do you describe it?
It's a Hulu commercial.
He monetized the live bird.
I was shocked by the Hulu commercial. You were looking at a bird. Now I saw a Hulu commercial. He monetized the live bird. I was shocked by the Hulu commercial.
You were looking at a bird.
Now I saw a Hulu.
It is a Hulu commercial still.
All right.
What's going on?
Describe it.
I'm seeing a building.
Can we zoom in on his eyes?
I'm seeing a woman.
Keep going.
I still see clothes on.
Maybe this isn't.
Is this a live bird?
Oh, I think not.
Oh, wait.
Oh, what do you got?
What do you got?
It's not too graphic.
Oh, the woman looks in pain.
I see some real pain.
I see some discomfort.
What else do you see?
I'm very happy that I'm a man right now.
Okay.
Okay, she's staring.
Women look concerned.
I see concern. Oh, I see staring. Women look concerned. I see concern.
Oh, I see pain.
Look at agony.
You're seeing things that aren't physical.
You're really feeling this.
Oh, oh.
Something's about to come out, and then it switched the cable.
5G home internet.
Right as something was coming out.
Oh, there we go.
And now there's, looks like a little one with a little –
a little beanie on.
Oh, that was fast.
They put the beanie on.
Yeah, and it looks like she's twirling some food.
The baby's already out.
The baby's out.
Kissing the baby.
So it didn't get too graphic.
All right, I've got to find a different one.
I was getting mentally prepared.
Let me see.
Yeah, I feel like if you prepare for the worst with all y'all,
then you're not going to be disappointed often.
Yeah.
Okay, let's do two girls, one cup.
Have you seen that?
Have you heard of that?
Oh, okay, this should be great.
Yeah, why you?
What are you?
No, remember the Cooper Cup thing for fantasy?
Oh, yes.
Or two dudes, one cup was the thing.
Yes, we liked Cooper Cup.
Yeah.
Talk for a second while I pull it on you.
Talk about two girls, one cup.
I need you to talk about the accident.
Did your life flash before you arrived? Yes.
You thought it was dead.
I thought I was dead, yes.
Can you name the list of six people you reached out to?
Yeah.
No, the only people in the company that knew, besides my sister because it was her car,
were Nick, Big Cat,
and the Unnecessary Roughness 4.
Or I guess 3 because I'm the fourth one.
So Jack, Katie, and Casey.
Those are the only people in the company that knew that I had a wreck last week.
But I was driving down the interstate, and it was a huge storm,
and the wind took me and started me into a hydroplane, and I was out of control at 60 miles an hour.
For how long, like seconds?
Seconds, yeah.
But I started spinning.
Is there a part of you now knowing what has transpired in the last 24 hours and that Mincy's
back that you wish that God had just taken you?
Yeah.
I would have gotten a huge spotlight when I died.
Yeah, that's true.
Yes.
Oh, imagine if you died right before Mincy came back the day before.
Well, no.
I would need like a week before.
I would need a week of spotlight.
Then he comes back.
He takes it away.
So, yeah, I think the timing would have worked out.
I probably should have died that day.
That would have been a funny, like, I'd imagine Barstool has something in place for when any of us die.
I think, like, we'd have, like, a homepage, BarstoolSports.com, black and white, a photo of us.
I'm almost certain nothing's prepared for anybody.
No, Jeff D. Lowe is a sicko.
Jeff D. Lowe has them all made.
He has all the graphics made.
Yes.
No, he – it was – so I think it would be cool if it was like yours
slash welcome back, Mincy.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like a double – yeah.
So is mine in black and white and his is in color?
Very colorful.
Yeah, it's like two-faced.
Yeah.
All right.
That's fine.
That's fine. Again, welcome back, Mincy. It's beautiful two-faced. That's fine.
Again, welcome back, Manzi.
It's beautiful to see you. Speaking of which, are you ready to announce what you're doing next?
What you're signed up for or no?
Oh.
I've got...
What are you talking about?
The thing I mentioned off the air?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
What do you have going on?
I'm in this vibe.
I think it's like the turning 40 thing.
But I just... You look great. Thank you, man. I'm real like... You know vibe. I think it's, like, the turning 40 thing. But I just, I don't know.
You look great.
Thank you, man.
I'm real, like, you know, life's still real fun,
but I think it just makes you a little more serious about stuff.
Yeah.
I guess, I mean, Brandon would know, but I guess none of the rest of y'all do.
Still not drinking?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's no problem.
Chugs?
No, not too bad, man.
I'm doing good.
What do you mean, not too bad?
I don't know.
I got no comment.
Good.
Selective sobriety is one of my favorite things in the world.
I just really, really just think alcohol is bad.
Yeah, yeah.
But what about weed?
I'm not against that.
What about mushrooms?
I mean, people like to open their minds other ways.
Acid?
I'm not judging by what people do recreationally.
When was the last time you did acid?
I don't know.
That's a good question.
I don't want to answer that.
I got no comment whatsoever.
Okay, okay, okay.
But I do have a new perspective on life.
Yes.
Oh, okay, all right.
That makes sense.
So if you know, you know.
Yeah, but it's like a second.
There's been this whole second act vibe where like turning 40
and the end of the barstool thing was the first,
and this is like the beginning of the second.
And I'm just, like, really.
Would an act one end on?
Yeah, but then it just – and now with this happening, it really feels like it.
Shut up, Kyle.
And, you know, I'm really just – the health stuff's been real.
Like, you know, I'm on, like, day 44 low carb,
and I'm running 15 miles a week.
I'm lifting weights.
And, you know, and expanding.
Like, I felt so positive about that.
You act 10K and everything that happened with that. So, I went out. That wasn't – that didn't say positive long. lift their weights and uh you know and expand and like i felt so positive about that yak 10k
and everything that happened with that so uh that wasn't that didn't stay positive long yeah but i
mean it did for two days yeah that's true yeah you went from a 10k to a three hopefully when i run
the saint jude half marathon in memphis i don't do something stupid get fired three days later
no but i signed up is that what you're doing yeah i signed up so thing? Yeah, I signed up. So I did the 10K with 6.2.
I signed up for the St. Jude in Memphis in December.
And that is how?
13.1 miles, half marathon.
It's going to be a first half marathon over 10 years.
When is it?
December the 2nd.
What are we thinking time-wise?
I got to add that.
I think the goal would be 2.15.
I think getting under two hours is like nine minutes.
That's going to be tough.
But I think I can do 2.15 or 2 or 220. It's going to be a little cooler.
What about 205?
I mean, I don't know. I can do it. I think I can run
it if it was right now. I don't know if I can run 205.
Are you going to have a runner or a
pace setter with you? I've got my buddy
that's like my mentor that
runs a ton and runs ultras and
stuff is running it with me and kind of coaching me on it.
So I will have help. I didn't know you had a mentor.
Just a running mentor? No, he helped me. He quit drinking like six months before me. it, so I will have help. I didn't know you had a mentor. Just a running mentor?
No, he helped me.
He quit drinking like six months before me.
Wait, what about the woman with the weird voice?
Oh, yeah, she's at the Women's World Cup right now, actually.
What?
Playing?
No.
Oh.
That's not impressive.
That's not impressive at all.
Is that like 60 bucks?
Yeah, your trainer went to New Zealand.
New Zealand, though, you know, it's a big commitment.
No, but don't know.
But no, but it's good.
I just feel real.
I feel very youthful.
And that's good.
It's a good thing.
There we go.
Yeah, you popped your top yesterday.
Someone's in the NBA finals right now.
It's like, well, are they playing?
No, they just bought a ticket.
Yeah, but I mean, going to Australia or New Zealand.
It's a long way away.
It is, but it's like vacation.
It's a hell of a flight.
Yeah.
Do you want to watch Two Girls, One Cup?
Do I have a choice?
No.
Okay.
The new barstool, my friend.
I'm going to get some serious phone.
As soon as Dave took back barstool, Big Cat made me show my cock to him.
Watch.
Zoom in.
Zoom in to Mincy.
Oh.
Keep going. it's fine.
Oh, dude, this is...
They're both doing great now, those ladies.
This is bad for the recruit.
Oh, my God.
Oh, I saw that.
That's what Chicago's going to do?
No, no, I was just welcoming you back.
It's good to have you back, Mincy.
It is good to be back.
It's an insane two and a half months
That you went on
Like insane
The whole thing is stranger and fiction
I was saying that earlier
I have a question for you Mincy
Do you
Was there a moment when Dave called you
Where you thought about negotiating with him
Because you are number one at Brick Watch
So were you like Well I don't want my job back where you thought about negotiating with him because you are number one at Brick Watch.
So were you like, well, I don't want my job back?
You kind of got demoted.
When he called me on this one, he just said,
we're going to switch this for Brick Watch, the barstool.
And I said, yeah, of course I'm in.
Do you have any questions for him?
No, I'm just amazed at the last three months.
Yeah, no, I had a good run.
The Vegas thing.
So I'll say this.
He's now acknowledging you.
No, but I'll say this. No, the acknowledging you. No, but I'll say this.
No, the Vegas thing, nobody go to Vegas for six weeks ever, man.
That's a three-night town.
And that six weeks in that desert.
That feels like something everyone should know.
Yeah, I mean, you should know.
I also was getting the shit kicked out of me. Don't go to Vegas for six weeks?
Won't do it, yeah.
Yeah, that feels very, you had to learn that the hard way.
I did.
It was a long time.
I also didn't help that I was getting the shit kicked out of me at the poker table.
So that probably made it a little less fun.
Did I invest in you?
Yeah, but I actually made day three of the main.
I got like $2,500 out of $10,000.
I mean, at least I didn't do – that's not nothing.
At least I gave some hope.
Yeah.
That's cool.
Those six weeks in Vegas.
Brandon, what have you been doing besides getting COVID almost dying in a car? I have a car wreck too. Yeah. That's cool. Those six weeks in Vegas. Brandon, what have you been doing besides getting COVID almost dying?
I had a car wreck, too.
Yeah, in a car.
So I moved out here, and I was fishing every day.
And then I had the car wreck, and then I got COVID.
Do you think you just had bad luck?
I think I might just be a shit person.
Okay.
And it just comes home to roost in different ways.
I think I probably get what's coming to me a lot of times.
But I'm glad to be back, too.
So thank you for welcoming us back together.
The tandem.
Yeah.
Mincy and Walker, just like nature intended it.
Now, Mincy, enough about Brandon.
Are you worried at all about Brick Watch not, like,
the footprint in the south if you do move to Chicago?
I've got something.
I've still got some stuff in the works I'm excited about.
Okay.
I've got some projects.
So you would have a way to make sure that the South still gets their brick watches?
Yeah, I'm still going to work on some stuff with that.
I've got some promotional ideas.
I was afraid the sales would drop if you left.
Yeah, no, I think, you know.
I shouldn't have played a lot of sales.
How the video with your dad.
Yes, we got one.
Can you pull it up, TJ?
How does that happen?
You didn't see this?
I did not see it.
Well, no one did.
Yeah, you couldn't really.
Jack McCarthy shot it, clearly.
My stepmom shot it.
My lovely stepmom shot it.
And she was concerned when it looked so grainy.
She's like, you can't use that.
And I thought, well, you're wrong.
Oh, yes, I can.
People are going to pull up.
How was it?
What phone do you have?
Dude, I just think I gave her the phone,
and she forgot to wipe my screen off.
What?
You got to do, right?
I mean, that's been apparently.
I've made video.
I usually forget to do it.
I don't know.
But he was still very happy.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It looks good on him.
Yeah, my dad.
It's a sleek looking watch.
What is the one you're wearing right now?
What kind is that?
What type of model is that?
What type of features are looking at?
It's a beautiful silver watch.
I couldn't tell you the model.
I should know.
But I don't know, man.
I don't know if I was bored to be on watch.
So, you know, I'm just out here doing. It looks great. I wish I know if I was bored to be on watch. I'm just out here.
I wish I could read.
You haven't learned the watches yet?
I'm like, you know, there's the silver ones, there's the black ones.
I got the blue ones.
Old habits die hard.
Yeah.
My old man's looking good looking at 74.
It's just vintage
Mincy. The whole video.
He's looking good at 74
Well no we can't tell
Brazilian security cam
Yeah
It looks like they're doing like a POV
If you were a bottle of Crisco
Like watching this video
Like sitting on the countertop
Like that's what it was
Did you know when you hit send
He knows
When it was filmed Did you know when you hit send? He knows. Were you looking?
He knows the plays.
Look, I didn't know.
When it was filmed, I didn't know anything.
There was a critical error?
I mean, she gave me the phone.
I was like, why is this video so blurry?
She's like, you can't use that.
And I was like, why can't I?
Like, who says that?
There's no rules.
There's no rules.
Well, one.
I'll tell you what else. I know someone who loves Dave Portnoy is my old man. Yeah. Well, one. I'll tell you what else.
Someone who loves Dave Portnoy is my old man.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
God, yeah.
He loves him.
Can you walk me through the cameo that you got after you got canceled?
Who did you get a cameo from?
Crazy Bone.
So, yeah, okay.
That was Crazy Bone.
When you're like, no, obviously I had your back from the get-go.
I thought that that was a crazy move, and I didn't want you fired.
But when you were like, look, guys, I just paid the guy who sang the song to be like –
I didn't pay for it.
So my buddy, he was a huge stoolie.
My buddy, Justin Truesdale, big poker guy, big stoolie, he surprised me with it.
He spent the $200.
He's like, I have to do this.
$200?
He spent $200 on it.
That's all it takes to be not racist or demanding $200?
But he was just like, I have to do this for you.
He thought about it.
He's like, this is too good, and he sent it to me.
And so my buddy bought it for me and surprised me.
I didn't pay for it.
I think it cleared you.
It cleared him.
Did he explain it in any way, too?
Was he like, here's the situation?
Yeah, I think obviously he did. He's the situation? Yeah, they obviously did.
He talked about it for two and a half minutes.
He's like, I kind of have an idea what happened.
Now, did you see the incident happen to a live streamer named Fousey?
Oh, yeah.
He reacted way better.
He reacted how you showed up, Mincey.
You got to practice.
You got to take notes and practice just in case.
For the future.
Yeah, I pretty much felt like I was having a panic attack for a couple hours.
Can you play that video with no sound, TJ?
The reaction video of that guy?
Not Mincy's.
You know who I'm talking about?
I'm having a real stage fright.
No, no, no.
You're good.
I'm not going to be you unless you don't.
You were talking to Kyle.
You can see he had the same thing happen to him where he was doing a – he was rapping, and it slipped.
And then his reaction, though, like, you need to start doing this every time it slips for you.
Okay.
Every time it slips.
Well, I mean, it's going to happen.
So you're not even the last guy to do it on a live stream.
Yeah, no, he's not even the last one.
Look, watch.
You can tell the exact moment.
Oh, getting up, getting up.
By the way, how's our video and audio today?
Is it good?
All right, let's go, boys.
I figured it would be better in a bowling alley than an actual studio.
Yeah, I didn't sleep last night.
That devastated me.
So I'm happy we're back, all the way back.
Mince, after this, can we do like a role-playing kind of thing?
Yeah.
Can you try to sell a brick watch to Brandon?
Could you go through the steps of how you were selling those watches?
Okay.
We had a pretty good little initial sales boost.
Yeah.
I was a lot more about when I promote the sale that you're not just buying.
You're buying an elite fine watch, but you're also buying a brand and supporting.
Yeah, yeah, wait.
Sell this.
Wait, hold on. Let's
role play this whole thing. Minty, you stand up.
Brandon, you stand up. Alright. And you walk
in... And you see he's not wearing a watch.
Brandon, you're pretending that you're looking for
watches right here, okay? Right.
And then, Minty, you help him out.
Okay? Okay.
Good day, sir. Hello?
How are you doing, Brandon Walker?
How do you know?
How the hell do you know him?
He's that good.
Oh, are you a fan?
That's Brandon F. Walker, right?
We restart the scene.
Also, you should probably greet me.
If he's a fan, it's your store.
Okay, here we go.
Here I am.
How's it going?
It's going good. The weather's fine. Hungry, but other than that, I we go. Three, two, one, go. Here I am. How's it going? It's going good. We're going good.
The weather's fine.
Hungry.
But other than that, I'm good.
Well, you know what would make yourself and your image look a lot better?
What?
Your wrist looks awful empty, and I think you could use one of these brick watches.
What brick watches?
Something like the Silver Guy.
I mean, look at it.
It's elite.
This brick watch right here?
Is that the actual name for it?
The Silver Guy?
The Silver Guy.
Silver guy.
We got the silver guy, the black guy.
I think you already got a good outfit.
You're sure you're looking good.
Thank you.
A little nice watch on your wrist.
Sure.
Hope you flex on everything.
All right.
And not just so you buy an awesome watch.
Do you have them in my size?
I'm sure we can find them in your size.
I might have to actually go to the store and get them fitted.
No, we're in the store.
You're in the store now.
You never got the guy's name either.
Brandon's curious about competitors.
Well, I know this.
It's a beautiful.
Get his name.
I thought I knew this.
No, you get his name.
Don't know his name?
No, you don't know his name?
Kyle, jump in.
There's a second customer.
Okay.
Kyle, get in there.
Get in there.
Kyle, you're the manager. You're the, jump in. There's a second customer. What? Okay. Kyle, get in there. Get in there. Kyle, you're the manager.
I was previously.
You're the manager.
I want a brick watch as well.
Oh, okay.
Well, then I think I'm the man to make that happen for you.
I already have a Rolex, and it's getting a little worn out.
Well, then it's time for a new watch, and this is a better.
As good as a Rolex.
And this is a better value, too.
It's better value.
It's a better quality.
Dude, it's a great to delete watch.
Stephen, step in.
What makes this quality? Stephen is the manager. Stephen, it's a great to delete watch.
What makes this quality?
Stephen is the manager, Stephen, please.
What makes this quality better?
My Rolex is perfect quality.
Dave Portnoy put his name on the line for the watch. Should I buy a Rolex? Is that what you're telling me?
My Rolex is fine, mighty fine.
Turn off the camera, everyone.
Stephen's here. He's the manager.
This guy seems to sell me on a Rolex.
You're going to have to spend five on a Rolex. You can get this
value on this brick watch for 40%
price. Wait, where can I purchase
this? It's only his third month.
All kinds of
great options.
This is Ben. He's new to Brick Watch
Empire. I
see that you're kind of looking around the store.
Do you have any plans today? No, none whatsoever. Because I think you might have an appointment later, maybe for dinner. Maybe you're kind of looking around the store. Do you have any plans today? No, none whatsoever.
Because I think you might have an appointment later, maybe for dinner.
Maybe you're going to meet your wife or your family.
Why do you think that?
You look like a man who could use a dinner.
How are you guys both so bad?
What's happening?
Either way, whenever you have an appointment, you're going to need to know what time it's at.
Sure.
And something that you don't have right now.
I have a cell phone.
Sometimes, especially here in Mississippi, the service is terrible.
Steven, you just got to call it.
There's a fire at your house.
Oh, no.
That's your real name?
What the fuck?
Oh, no.
Oh, you're not going to leave?
Steven, there's a fire coming.
I'm getting a call that there's a fire at my house.
Oh, okay, yeah.
Say hello, Steven. Hello? It's your wife, Big Cat? Steven, there's a fire coming. I'm getting a call that there's a fire in my house. Oh, okay, yeah. Say hello, Steven.
Hello?
It's your wife, Big Cat.
Yeah, there's a fire.
At our house?
Yeah, and you got to put it out because no muscular men are here to put it out.
Damn.
I was in the middle of a sale, but I'll be right there.
Okay.
All right.
So we're back to you.
We're back to me.
Well, you still need a watch, right?
He still needs a watch. A? You still need to watch.
I think a lot of people need a watch.
Yeah, I'm watchless.
And, you know, I've been looking at a Breitling.
It's about $2,500.
Can I see that?
You get a better value for a brick watch.
Less than $2,500.
Can I see it?
Also, elite watch.
Can I keep it on?
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh, nice.
Let's see.
Look at this.
Putting it on.
Oh, this is good.
Okay. I keep selling to these guys. Yeah, nice. See? Look at this. Putting it on. Oh, this is good. Okay.
I keep selling to these guys.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, look, when you buy a brick watch, you're buying an elite watch.
But you're also not just buying a great watch.
You're buying values.
What makes it better than the competitors?
Look at it.
I mean, it fits well.
It looks pretty standard.
I think it looks pretty sleek. You know, you get a good size. It fits well. It looks pretty standard. I think it looks pretty sleek.
You know, you get a good size.
Fits good.
Tells the right time.
What are you looking for?
Are you looking for the black guy or the silver?
I've never heard of a brick watch, but I don't think silver would look good on me.
Also, for nice occasions when you're dressed up, you're going to look a little snazzy.
You're going to have a little more confidence, a little energy.
Nice watch on your wrist.
Is this a quartz watch or is it automatic movement? I think it's automatic, but I'm going to have to little more confidence, a little energy? Nice watch on your wrist. Is this a quartz watch or is it automatic movement?
I think it's automatic, but I'm going to have to go find that out.
Okay.
Okay, thanks.
Yeah.
I think I need to go to the factory where they're made and, like, learn everything.
Do you have a passport?
No.
I didn't think that through when I said that.
What are you going to do?
All right.
Well, can I see it?
Where did Big Cat go?
I don't know.
The watch left Big Cat, which who knows what that could mean. All right, well, can I see it? Where did Big Cat go? I don't know. The watch left for Big Cat, which who knows what that could mean.
But I feel like we can buy pretty much.
Take a seat.
Take a seat.
I don't think I'm going to buy a watch today.
Not today.
Hopefully have some hot gambling picks start the year
and get you a good watch.
All right.
Big Cat's gone rudderless.
Hey, guys.
Oh. Sorry. Did you go toderless. Hey, guys. Oh.
Sorry.
Did you go to the bathroom?
Oh, no.
What happened?
I just went to the bathroom.
Did the watch come back from the bathroom?
What watch?
Oh, okay.
I see how it is.
Now I just, I thought I was a watch salesman and needed to rep the brand.
I didn't go.
Were you selling watches?
I don't know if you call it selling them, but I was attempting to.
Oh, I didn't even see that you had a store.
I didn't go to any watch stores today.
Go to BrickWatchCompany.com.
Can I see one?
You could see one before you walked off.
I don't know.
I got one in my car in Louisiana.
I could show you two.
You keep one in your car?
Connor has your watch.
Yeah, he pocketed it.
He stole it from me.
Okay, good.
It's in safe hands.
Wait, you keep them in your car?
In New Orleans?
Well, I mean.
Oh, we got to walk through your video of you, the screenshot of Quiggs got of you on the highway.
Yeah, Quiggs was going hard on me on the highway.
Quiggs was going hard on me on the highway.
Well, he actually got the call yesterday that he got rehired, and he took – someone was taking video of him.
Yeah, Tyler Moody was with me.
Can you find the screenshot of the actual –
it's the wildest picture ever of a man on the highway.
Mincy is driving on the highway.
Where were you going?
I was on I-20 in north Louisiana between Shreveport and Monroe.
I was on my way to see my dad and then go to New Orleans to fly here.
Love it.
Yeah.
New Orleans still has the carpet in the airport?
The airport's looking really good.
They got a big renovation the last two years.
Oh, nice.
The whole new terminal.
Yeah, it's good.
Do you know which one I'm talking about, TJ?
Wait till you see this.
Those shirts are looking good.
Look at this.
That's a picture of Mincy driving on the highway.
This is not a parked car. What highway. This is not a parked car.
What vantage?
This is not a parked car.
Wait, what?
That was not a parked car.
How fast were you going, Mincy?
You're on the interstate, right?
Take down Mincy's shirt so you can see it.
I had my cruise on like 75, you know?
I had my cruise going, you know?
What was the moment that you just took your hand off the wheel?
Wait, but like what?
What pedaling is pedaling?
I don't think he's got it.
He's got it right.
It's too.
I got my cruise controls on.
I'm going 74, 75 on cruise.
I go five over.
I'm concerned.
You know, I don't.
Man, spreading.
Feeling pretty fiery during this phone call.
Yeah.
Phone call of a lifetime.
Man. Dave. No call of a lifetime. Man.
Dave.
No hands.
No hands.
That's the most casual driving ever.
There we go.
I'll tell you what, though.
It's like how Peter Griffin drives.
And you got in a car accident, right, Brennan?
I did.
That was very traumatic to look at.
I did not enjoy that at all.
This is just tempting fate.
You got your hands on 10 and 2.
Yeah, I'm just flying off the interstate at 60 miles an hour.
Do you have to buy your sister another car?
We were, no, no.
She had left it at my house, obviously, because she came to New York,
and then we were about to retire that car anyway,
so now it's going to retire with a little bit more damage.
It didn't get totaled or anything.
It just got damaged.
I was telling people it got totaled.
There wasn't that much damage other than psychological.
Wait, so are you being a pussy about it?
I'm on your side.
That's traumatic.
Right, but it wasn't totaled.
It wasn't totaled, no.
What was, like, if you looked at the car,
were you like, that's a nasty wreck?
You'd be like, hey.
Or you're like, oh, someone hit him.
No, no, you'd be like, wow,
somebody really rear-ended the hell out of that car.
Did the airbags break?
Wait, just rear-ended.
Mirror popped off. The mirror popped off? The just rear-ended. A mirror popped off.
The mirror...
The passenger side mirror and the...
That was a no to the airbags.
And the taillight. The airbags did not
come off. No, the airbags did not come off.
Did they have to tow the car away?
Or did someone come and
drive it?
Did they put you in a space blanket
and they drove it home?
The car got driven home.
Oh, man.
I was so worried about you.
I was fucked up.
Brandon.
The car was fine.
The car was fine.
I wasn't fine.
Did you hydroplane into the shoulder or the median?
I hydroplaned off the shoulder.
There was a rail that caught me and pushed me back onto it.
Onto the road?
Were you pumping brakes or what?
What were you doing?
No, I just.
You stepped on the brake?
I don't know if I stepped on the brake or not.
I don't know.
Did you really take your hands off the wheel?
For a second, yeah.
You were like, Jesus, take the wheel?
That's kind of, yeah.
But the car looks as good as new.
Car does not look as good as new.
If it was photographed from the front, we'd be like, that's a nice car.
It'd be great, too, if Brandon got in this car accident, he went to the hospital, and
they're like, he's like, what's wrong with me, Doc?
He's like, you just haven't had water.
Yeah, I drank enough water.
He just looked dehydrated.
It has nothing to do with the car accident.
You have diabetes.
Everything's fine.
And then I got-
I thought it was Jaws of Life.
It wasn't Jaws of Life.
I never said it was Jaws of Life
I did not ever say that
Did you have sex that day?
No, I haven't had sex since
And it's been a week and a half
But the COVID was in the right
When you said your life flashed before your eyes
Was there one particular
Was it like the worm farm?
It was my wife and kids
Paramedic pulled me out.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
This is like a Ricky Bobby
like fake on fire situation.
No.
He pulled you out.
That implies window.
Did he open the door?
No, he opened the door, yeah.
Pulled you out like both arms
or did he just take your hand?
At first he said, get out.
He opened the door, get out. Get out. Open the door and get out.
Dude, you're being weird.
I'm not minimizing your trauma.
You are. That's exactly what you're doing.
Your trauma is real, but just hearing
the fact that the paramedic
just opened the door and
grabbed your hand like you're
a damsel getting off a boat.
Hey dude, you can't park here.
Were there other cars near at all?
Well, it was in the middle of the interstate at that point.
It was a three-lane interstate, and it was straddling lanes two and three.
So he got me out, walked me to the side of the road, and then he got in the car and rolled it to the side of the road.
No. It was like a night or during the day? It got in the car and rolled it to the side of the road. No.
Yeah.
It was like at night or during the day?
It was in the day.
Okay.
About 5 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon.
Yeah.
Did any other cars stop and get out?
One other guy did, but once he got there and saw that everything was fine,
he left quickly.
Yeah.
Okay.
So that was about it.
I remember the guy's name.
I wanted to, like, hit him back up.
His name was Dwayne. Dwayne and his last name started with a D, but I can't about it. I remember the guy's name. I wanted to hit him back up. His name was Dwayne.
Dwayne and his last name started with a D, but I can't remember it.
So I got to hit him up and try to find him.
Give him a brick watch.
I can't afford that.
I thought you got all the money when you came to Chicago.
I got it before I came to Chicago.
And then you bought a house.
We have breaking news, by the way.
Breaking news.
This is a Jersey Jerry exclusive.
Former champion and king of the South, Stuhl Mincy,
will be joining Smocking with Titus and Ken Jack for season four of the dozen
upon his return to Barstool.
The Wonton Don will remain with the club.
Hell yeah.
Wow.
It's a good team.
Yeah, man.
Got a little rivalry with the Yak, too.
Do you?
I thought they did.
No, no rivalry.
Y'all put it to bed.
We don't have rivals.
No rivals.
Oh, Smokin', yeah.
Smokin', yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, Ken Jack's the worst, but that's not a rivalry.
Yeah.
A rivalry means that both teams win.
Yeah, right.
They don't win.
I got to say, I love being Titus on my team.
He's always rocking the shirt.
I mean, dude.
He's rocking it right now.
Two teams in a row for Titus.
Unless he owns two.
Oh, he owns multiple, yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Awesome.
I'm glad somebody.
You guys have never met, right?
We met in Lake Charles.
Oh, that's right.
On the stream for the national championship.
That's right.
That's right.
He's your biggest fan.
Wait, so you're back in trivia.
Does that make you a little nervous?
Because, Brandon, wait.
How many?
Nothing can happen in trivia to hurt me anymore.
How many titles have you won?
Oh, we won one.
First ever inaugural champ.
Wow.
And, Brandon, you?
I mean, Coley won that one.
Brandon, you have a title?
Coley did play a very significant role.
I will not doubt that.
Brandon, do you have a title?
I have two runner-up finishes.
Two incredible runs through the tournament.
Including beating you guys.
Yeah, I mean, we suck.
I do that daily dozen, and I get the top row right every time,
and everything else I get wrong every day, every single day.
I don't even click the celebrity mashup.
I've never gotten one of those either. I get no chance.
I do three or four, but they're at the bottom.
None of the sports.
Oh, yeah.
See, I just do the top three and then I just quit.
You guys should make a team.
Ooh.
Ooh.
He looks like a Frank Etta to me.
Want to wake up?
Want to wake up?
Brandon, aside from fishing, have you gotten anything new,
like new local things?
Well, I bought a car.
I have a Jeep Wrangler now.
Very cool.
Whoa!
Anything in the community or new hobbies?
No, no.
I haven't really gotten out in the community yet.
I'm getting my kids ready for school next week.
We've been to a couple of Cubs games.
Actually, we went to a Brewers game first.
Which is closer.
Which is close.
Much significantly closer.
It's so nice to go to Milwaukee. It's like 42 minutes. I is closer. Which is close. Significantly closer. It's so nice
to go to Milwaukee. It's like 42 minutes.
I love it. Milwaukee's beautiful.
That's my airport now. I fly out of
Milwaukee. Oh, really? Yeah. I mean, that makes sense.
And it's very easy.
But yeah,
it's just mostly getting used to it. And the house
is still pretty much empty, but we're
trying to add to it as we go along. Have you met any more
neighbors?
I know there was some feedback that you had the smallest boat in the neighborhood. And the house is still pretty much empty, but we're trying to add to it as we go along. Have you met any more neighbors?
I know there was some feedback that you had the smallest boat in the neighborhood.
Well, you guys deemed it the smallest boat in the neighborhood.
You told us that.
They all have pontoon boats.
I have a fishing boat.
So strictly size talking.
They have bigger boats, yes.
So my neighbor across the street, he has a boat, and it's bigger than mine. And my neighbor right beside me, she has a boat, and it's bigger than mine.
And then neighbor two houses down who really likes me.
What do you mean really likes you?
He just really liked me.
What does that mean?
How did he get the chance to really like you?
I think I bought the asshole's house in the neighborhood.
Oh, that's awesome.
That's awesome.
And they're all excited to meet me, I think.
Would you say your neighbor? Oh, that rules because everyone's like, man, we're so happy that guy's awesome. That's awesome. And they're all excited to meet me, I think. Would you say your name?
Oh, that rules because everyone's like, man, we're so happy that guy's gone.
We're happy you're not the old guy.
That's a great, great spot to be in because you don't want to buy the house that everyone loved those neighbors.
No, no, no.
Like, oh, cook for everyone, you know, hosted everyone.
The guy even said, I don't know you at all, but I know you're not him.
Oh, wow.
This is like people celebrating his demise.
Funeral, yeah.
His death.
It's like one of those.
Has that happened?
Did your person who lived there die?
No, he didn't die.
Would you say your neighbors are more friendly in Illinois or New Jersey?
Oh, my God.
I didn't know how unhappy I was in New Jersey until I got here.
I really didn't.
Dude, I feel the same.
I did not know how unhappy it was there until I got here.
Like, the people are just so much better.
It's so much friendlier.
And I was making the best in New Jersey, but here it's so much better.
And you got the asshole's house.
That is a great, great, like, great little house.
You're right.
You never want to fulfill the legend.
You never want to follow the legend.
You should try to buy the asshole's house.
I should, yeah.
Has Tommy bounced back?
I know he was in a pretty serious committed relationship.
Tommy's ready to go.
Are they doing long distance?
Other than the COVID that Tommy has right now, which is tearing his little body up.
Horrible video that you sent.
That video hurts my soul.
You deserve that.
Wait, why?
Well, you didn't believe that I had it, so I had to send you a video of Tommy suffering.
So on Monday, all these videos will come out.
Monday, we did, it was a complete future me thing where we had to do, like, three different big-time commercial shoots with Rob and Corey and Steve.
And everyone here knows this, but for people at home, like, when Rob cory get in a commercial shoot they are they're
super talented but it's it's exhausting because it's a big thing it's a big project it always
looks great but it's a lot involved so they're like you can do you can do one every day for the
week or you can just do them all in one day and i was like give me them all in one day so we did
like basically from 8 a.m to 6 p.m commercial shoots and one of the commercial shoots was
brandon dressed as a woman and he called in and said. And one of the commercial shoots was Brandon dressed as a woman.
And he called in and said he can't come, so Jake had to dress as a woman.
And we were like, this is bullshit.
You don't have COVID.
And then Brandon sent me the saddest video of Tommy having COVID.
Would you add some what hurts?
He said everything.
Everything.
Everything.
And me being me, I did not relent.
I was like, that's bullshit that you would make.
You know Tommy's a great actor.
Like, that's bullshit you would make him do that.
So I'm happy he's feeling better.
Yeah, he's feeling better.
We're coming through it.
You should have been there for the shoot.
We're going to dress you as a woman anyway.
I don't know.
But Jake's ass in a dress.
Oh, man, I wanted to fuck him so bad.
Oh, God.
I did.
I did.
You can say that now.
Oh, yeah. So today we have did. You can say that now. Oh, yeah.
Today we have a pro bowler in the mix.
A pro bowler.
Not to be confused with, like, a good NFL player.
Correct.
Correct.
A pro bowler.
Yeah, no, this is going to be, I don't know, do we have the bracket, TJ?
We didn't learn our lesson from roofball at all.
No.
I think he won his, no, no, no.
All right, so I think there's two different things.
One is a pro bowler who's here to just show us how cool it is to be a pro bowler.
Coolest outfit I've ever seen on a sports person.
And he's got the hair.
And then there's a sweeps winner who won a regional tournament to be in this.
That guy probably is going to win it all.
What are we doing?
Again, have not learned.
Have not learned our lesson.
But it'll still be fun.
Do we have the bracket?
No.
So is it individual or is it teams?
Individual.
16 individuals
and then I think first round is going to go concurrently.
So everyone's just going to roll.
And then when we get to eight, we will start doing the broadcast booth with, I think, Jake, Nick, KB, everyone involved.
Should be fun.
And I think you get this big trophy.
And Steven practiced last night.
Well, we all practiced before this.
I didn't realize that we would have open lanes to just kind of.
You didn't.
No, I thought we were just going to come here, we're going to do sound check, and we're going to go.
Steven, what would you put your odds at winning the 16-man tournament?
I mean, the guy who won the tournament to get here has to be like, I would think, minus 175.
I believe you're on his side of the bracket, the stacked half.
Fuck.
That's fine.
So, I mean, we've got to hope Carl wins. You made the bracket. Yeah, no, I just can't remember how egregiously unfair I made the bracket the stacked half. That's fine. We gotta hope Carl wins.
You made the bracket.
I just can't remember how egregiously unfair I made the bracket.
What fella are you going up against?
I'm going up against Hank.
First round you're going up against Hank?
Yeah, it's gonna be a tough match.
And then if I beat Hank, I think I have to play
Megan Making Money. And then if I beat Megan
Making Money, I have to play Sidney Wells to get to the finals.
Tough road for me.
I'm playing Sidney Wells in the first round. Oh, maybe you aren't get to the finals. Tough road for me. I'm playing Sidney Wells.
Oh, maybe you aren't on my side.
Very tough road for me. A gauntlet.
Group of death.
Good luck. I should have just given myself a bye.
Like a fifth round bye.
You could do that throughout the whole tournament if you wanted to.
Maybe I'll play Mincy instead.
Maybe I'll give Mincy a ride.
I'll give Jerry too.
I don't know if I'm going to be able to show Jerry something special, though.
I'll give you a bite of the second round to face me.
Oh, man.
I don't think I've bowled in literally 19 or 20 years.
So if you had to make odds in this tournament,
I don't even know if you could make odds high enough on me.
So if you're stacking your bracket, that's probably a good matchup for you.
I feel like Sidney Wells has the best aim of all of you.
So I don't know.
Oh, that's true.
Oh, here we go.
We have a bracket.
All right, we have a bracket.
All right, it's me versus Hank.
Oh, it is.
So Mincy versus Megan.
Okay.
And then that's who I play in the quarterfinal.
That's ridiculous.
So the hypothetical you came up with to go easy on yourself Is what actually happened
Jay and Sidney Wells
And then Nick and White Sox
Dave are the first round matchup as well
I'm telling you White Sox Dave is going to be good
I can see him spending a lot of time
I can see him spending a lot of time at Bo and Ellie's
So that's my side of the bracket
And the other side is Brandon
The other side is stacked
So stacked
That's the sweeps winner side of the bracket, and the other side is Brandon. The other side's stacked. Oh, so stacked, dude.
Darian.
That's the sweeps winner.
Darian?
Yeah, Brandon versus Chief, Darian versus Carl.
Carl's dangerous.
KB versus Dante, and then Eddie versus Titus.
Wow.
Yeah.
It's a very lopsided bracket.
Titus is, he was kind of.
Not very good.
No.
Eddie might be good.
Isn't he a bowler?
Well, that's a fat comment.
That was exactly what that was. Eddie.
That was mean, Kate.
Eddie looks like a bowler.
Is that the worst sport to say to someone?
Yeah, you have a bowler's body.
Poker player bodies are rough.
I don't know if it's sport, though. No, bowlers. This pro player bodies are rough.
I don't know if it's sport though. No, bowlers. This pro bowler guy
here.
I'm not going to sound like a creep.
He looks hot.
Is he smoking hot?
He's got the look. He looks pretty fit to me.
He looks pretty good.
I can't believe your car wasn't totaled.
What was the extent of the damages?
How much money would it cost to fix?
Is it one of those QVC things where you put the plunger on and then you just hit it and it comes out?
Pour some hot water on it.
Like $25.
Yeah, could I watch a TikTok and fix your car with a hair dryer and hot water?
It's not really fixing the car.
It's fixing the brain that was driving the car.
Yeah, right, right, right.
It was torn up.
The car itself could be fixed.
We could handle it pretty easily.
So have you gotten back on the road since?
I have.
Is there, like, PTSD?
No, well, I drive the speed limit, but I'm good.
Like I said, I bought that Jeep, and I'm happy with it.
Yeah, that's a truck.
Yeah. I feel like a man.
Yeah, that thing won't...
I four-wheel drive now. Oh, wow.
What was the car? What was the make of it?
Unless you already said. Go on.
Go on. Yeah, what was it?
I need a better image in my mind.
I like it. Chevy Tahoe.
Oh, my God.
That's like the best car to get in an accident with.
The impact was about 25 feet behind me.
There was like seven seats in there.
Okay.
I can only tell six people about this.
That's why.
Like, how do you determine your list?
I mean, I guess obviously unnecessary roughness for people,
but, like, to make the cut of people you tell about.
That's your fave five, right?
Well, no, I had to tell them unnecessary roughness because I was missing an episode.
Okay.
So, otherwise, and then I told Dan and Nick.
You told me.
I didn't tell anyone.
And then I don't know why I just didn't tell anybody.
I didn't have any reason to tell anybody else.
I wasn't doing anything with anybody else.
Yeah, I mean, I thought it was like you were in the hospital, you were airlifted
to the hospital and all that stuff, so that's why I didn't
tell you. I mean, there was, when he grabbed me, there
was air as I stepped into the
on to the interstate, so you
could say I was airlifted.
If you want to say that, I wouldn't
say it, but you can say that I was airlifted from the scene.
I can't believe the guy fucking drove.
By tomorrow, I would love to get the paramedic's name
and have him call in. I want to hear his recap.
I want an accident report.
I can't
believe he drove the car off the highway.
Calmly, too. He calmly did it.
I was freaking out.
Wait, so how long were you just sitting on
the highway screaming?
Screaming? I wasn't screaming.
No, I wasn't doing that. What were you doing? You were just sitting on the highway screaming? Like how long? Screaming? I wasn't screaming. No, no, I wasn't doing that.
It's a run spider scream.
What were you doing?
You were just sitting on the highway?
You didn't try to drive it yourself?
No.
I'm piecing this all together,
and that means you got in the accident,
and then you were sitting there.
Well, they called the cops.
Then they called the cops.
Who did?
The guy and his wife, Dwayne,
and the paramedic and his wife.
He was off-duty paramedic.
Wait a minute. What? Wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, wait. Dwayne and the paramedic and his wife he was off-duty paramedic he was off-duty
paramedics we didn't arrive in a paramedic vehicle huh was he driving an
ambulance no but did you go in an ambulance? No. Was he going in an ambulance? No. No.
I went, but anyway.
How did you get home?
Huh?
How did you get home from this?
I was driven home in the car.
Who drove the car home?
The Tahoe?
My uncle came and got me.
But anyway.
Wait, wait.
Your uncle?
Your family?
No. I have many uncles.
Anyway.
Explain who drove you home.
After the cops came, it was about three hours after the accident,
because there was a big...
They said the car's okay to go, and they said,
you're okay, and I drove the car the rest of the way.
I got there about three hours after I was posted.
Nothing that you sent me.
How did he break it to you?
Okay.
No, this is true.
Everything I said is true.
Had a bad wreck today
driving in a storm in Illinois.
Wind caught me
and knocked me out of control.
Yep.
Hydro planed off the road
and hit the retaining wall.
Yep.
Paramedic pulled me out.
Dwayne.
Off duty.
He kept me under observation
for four hours.
That's true.
Three hours.
It was three hours.
But you were,
I thought,
so when I read that,
I was jaws of life.
Paramedic dragged you out of the car, and they put you in the hospital for four hours.
It was an off-duty paramedic who gently walked you out of the car, and then you sat on the side of the highway for three hours.
I did not get into the ambulance.
Okay.
They did look at me.
An actual paramedic did come look at me.
That's the truth. That's the truth? Yeah. Dwayne was not a into the ambulance. Okay. They did look at me. An actual paramedic did come look at me. That's the truth.
That's the truth?
Yeah.
Dwayne was not a paramedic.
I mean, he was not an on-duty paramedic.
But a real one came.
They did look at me.
They gave me the whole test.
Dwayne just passing?
He happened to be driving by?
I think Dwayne was in the car behind me and saw the wreck.
Dwayne, if you're out there, we need you badly.
That's the best thing ever.
Oh, my God. But the observation is need you. That's the best thing ever. Oh, my God.
But the observation is true.
All that, the ambulance is true.
And the trauma's true.
The trauma's very true.
The trauma's true.
I think us trivializing it is probably better for your psyche,
knowing that it wasn't as traumatic as you were.
You were just a giant pussy.
I knew eventually I was going to be on the act,
and you were going to trivialize it.
I have been traumatized about the future event of this.
Way worse. Yeah, this now
supplants the car wreck.
This is now way more traumatizing than the car wreck.
Can this bowling tournament be the Brandon Walker
Memorial Tournament?
Hydroplane Memorial.
The hydroplane survivors. Do you guys have
a ribbon color that we could wear?
Do you get a tire sponsor?
You're like hydropl playing through the lanes.
Oh my god.
I love you, Brandon.
I miss you.
Have you missed the action of the office
being in the camera, being in the mix?
When I couldn't come the other day,
I didn't like it because I wanted to get back to work
and I wanted to get back in the group.
I want to see the boys.
I have a question.
Our wrestling's Golden Boy made his debut and I heard it wasn't great.
Gable?
Yes.
Yeah, I don't think it's been very good.
What happened?
Well, I don't think he's got the on-screen charisma that they want.
They booed him like crazy.
Can they give him a voice?
That's what's going to happen.
They booed Kurt Angle the first time.
He's trained to just win matches and not be a person.
He'll have to get used to the crowd.
Can he give him a mic guy?
Maybe.
I don't know.
Yeah, why not do that?
He needs a mic trainer.
He needs a mic trainer.
Is there a Chad Gable who's pretty good?
Oh, he's great, yeah.
Yeah, he was an Olympian.
Yeah, he's fantastic.
How was SummerSlam?
It was good.
Really good.
You win it?
I didn't go.
I was traumatized from the Dwayne incident. And COVID. And COVID? I didn't go. I was traumatized from the Wayne incident.
And COVID.
And COVID.
I had COVID.
What about wrestling with the new era?
The actual show?
Yeah.
I think the show's dead.
I think the show's dead.
What?
Are people posting on it?
Yeah.
Nick and Big Trouble Vin Bishop are still doing some stuff, but I've given up.
I'm just letting it die on the vine.
I got other stuff coming down.
You know, I'll always replace shows with new shows.
You've got new shows.
I've got new shows coming.
You just plant your show farm and you just go out there once a fall and just pick up
all these new shows.
You're the king of pilots.
Yeah.
That's true.
I think you might have the pilot record.
I don't think so.
I mean, I think I might have the unsuccessful pilot record.
But, I mean, you've had a lot of shows.
All of yours just succeed.
Yeah, no, I haven't had as many as you, I don't think.
Well, there was Morning Sunshine.
Morning Sunshine.
That was always meant to just be a COVID thing.
You did have Van Talk.
I did have Van Talk one episode.
Thanks, man.
Oh, yeah.
Wow.
That was funny for a moment yesterday when people saw the ESPN press release
and they're like, Van Talk's back, not seeing the Penn press release.
And it was like, wow, we got to catch up here, guys.
Got to catch up on what's going on.
So you were trending.
Congrats.
You've trended how many times?
About a dozen times.
We've been good on that.
It felt good to be back.
I knew I was back when that happened.
It was the funniest thing.
You roll out of bed in trend.
But the funniest thing is that Barstool won International Cat Day 2 and me 3.
I was like, man, Cat Day.
I was like, wow, that's a pretty funny one.
Yeah, I got the 2 at one point.
When's the last time you've been viral, though?
I feel like my grainy video did pretty good the other night with my dad.
It was like 6 million views.
What is literally viral?
Yeah, what's literally viral?
That's a lyric from a song.
Oh, no, don't.
Don't touch that.
No.
Yeah, it's a lyric from a song.
What are the other lyrics in the song?
Shine Through the Blight of You.
What band?
Panic.
We've been to Clear.
Oh, Widespread Panic.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They sometimes say MF and viral, and sometimes it's literally viral.
But let's just maybe cool it with the lyrics.
Just do original thoughts.
Yeah.
I love doing it.
I mean, you've got the soundtrack of life, though, you know?
Come on.
You've done soul searching?
Yeah, I feel good.
Meditation?
Yeah, we've had a good few months, you know?
I really do feel like, though, I was kind of spiraling a little bit,
the Vegas thing, for a couple weeks in mid-June.
And then late June I fixed it after I went to Red Rocks.
And I've just been doing way better, eating healthy.
You said before the show you were like,
I really thought I was about to get really good at gambling again.
Like you said, you were going to have to get poker.
I thought I was going to have to because I thought I wasn't going to be able to have a job for three or four years. Yeah, you thought you were going to have to get really good at gambling again. Like you said, you were going to have to get poker. I thought I was going to have to because I thought I wasn't going to be able
to have a job for three or four years.
Yeah, you thought you were going to have to get really good at poker.
I was like, well, I better get my poker game sharp.
It's not sharp, apparently.
So I'm glad we, you know, still have it down.
Poker, you can get unsharp?
Apparently.
Wow.
I don't know.
I had a couple.
I didn't know that.
I cashed Carolina, Maine, but that was about it this summer.
You cashed Carolina, Maine?
Yeah, but that was May.
That wasn't June or July in Vegas.
Which Carolina?
Cherokee, North Carolina.
Okay.
Mountains, beautiful.
That is nice.
Yeah, man.

Beautiful flavors.
It's all some merch out now, too, huh?
People in caps and shirts.
Yeah, strawberry and lime. I heard they unlocked the fridges as soon as the news came out yesterday.
Did they?
They went through the office and they unlocked all the fridges.
They threw out the key.
They said, High Noon's for everybody.
Damn.
Yep.
It's good to be back.
I mean, obviously, you knew about it.
Like, I didn't know.
Like, Dave just said to me he had a big announcement Tuesday, Monday night.
And I'm like, well, Dave always has a big announcement.
Like, what does that even mean?
Yeah.
But he really did have a big announcement.
Whenever that email goes out, like, the sudden, like, there's a meeting today when nobody was there.
There's always scuttlebutt.
Everyone's like, what's going on?
What's going on?
I think Erica sent the email to everyone on Tuesday morning being like, meeting, meeting. There was a lotuttlebutt. Everyone's like, what's going on? What's going on? Erica sent the email to everyone on Tuesday morning.
Being like, meeting, meeting.
There was a lot of water cooler gossip ahead of time,
wondering what it could be.
How's Rico doing?
I really didn't know.
I don't know.
Rico, listen.
Did not know.
There was a moment.
I'll just say this.
There was a moment when everything was happening where I was talking to Dave.
I was like, you're going to get Barstool again, all that stuff.
And we had a nice little laugh being like, this means Rico can just do like 60 one-year deals for the rest of his life.
Yeah.
And that was a fun moment.
We were just laughing about all the one-year deals.
He's going to be one-year deal to death.
Literally, he's going to die with a one-year deal.
Yeah. Hopefully, he dies at the beginning of the one-year deal to death. Literally, he's going to die with a one-year deal.
Hopefully he dies at the beginning of the one-year deal.
That would be for the best.
Yeah, family gets paid out for the entirety of that year.
That would be unfortunate if he died at the end of it.
Has he responded?
Has he said anything?
Has he been radio silent?
No, I think he went on Barstool Radio today.
He's in Aruba this week.
Yes.
For people who didn't see the meeting, he caught a lot of shrapnel.
Not even shrapnel.
I mean direct shots from Dave.
Correct.
During the meeting.
Correct.
And then I think on Barstool Radio, which is back.
Yeah, it was on Barstool Radio.
Yeah, I mean, I don't.
Penn never stopped Barstool Radio, so that was a serious deal. The whole yak kept on – when we were told that Sirius was taking Barstool Radio,
the channel off, that's when we were like, let's keep doing the yak.
So it was never like – Penn was like, you can't do a live YouTube show.
So those weren't one and the same.
Mincy, the live shows, is Wake Up Mincy going to come back?
It's definitely being discussed.
I feel like there's a lot of unfinished business
with that show. After the
incredible two-week run we had.
The run came to
a screeching halt.
It was a glorious two weeks
till then, man. We were really hot, too.
People were digging it.
It was show six, right? Or show seven?
Yeah, but it was three a week.
I mean, come on.
Oh, okay.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
Yeah.
Will it still be live?
I think we're going to have to do a 10-second delay. Isn't it insane?
Isn't it really insane how it all worked out,
the fact that you pre-taped after the NFL draft?
And then we were like, how could you pre-tape a live wake up with Mincy show?
And then the next one you did live, that happened?
Yeah, Dave asked me at one point, he goes, did you do that on purpose so you didn't have to do live shows?
And I was like, how could you ask that?
I was like having like a complete panic attack.
That's a good intentional choice to make.
But it was like, he called because Dave said what happened.
Right after the show, Dave called me, and he was super calm with me about it.
He's like, look, apologize on Twitter.
I remember it so vividly, too, because I was freaking out.
Well, you said it in the lyrics, and you also said it wasn't like Brandon's accident.
It was like Brandon's accident where you didn't end in the ER.
So you're fine. like Brandon's accident. It was like Brandon's accident where you didn't end in the ER. Mm-hmm.
So you're fine.
Right?
Yeah.
Yeah, I was not fine mentally for a few hours for sure, and then I kind of calmed down Monday afternoon,
and I sent Erica this four or five paragraph buttoned up
super apology on Tuesday, just like it's an honor to be part of Barstool.
What is a super buttoned up apology?
For me, that's anything.
Can we read that?
No, my Barstool email is gone.
Oh, shit.
No, but I was just like, it's an honor to represent Barstool,
and I'm so sorry I put you in the spot and all that.
And she sent me back, like, two sentences.
It was really funny.
She was like, she's like, you know,
obviously you made a very reckless and idiotic mistake,
but it was not intentional.
Don't ever effing do it again.
And thanks for the apology, Erica.
So when she said that, I was like, okay.
You're back.
I'm not, like, I'm going to get suspended or something.
You know, I think I'm going to be all right just by her saying that but then Wednesday like Dave called me Wednesday morning and he's like look
you know I fought for you I don't know what Penn's gonna do and second he said that I'm like I'm
like right when he said it I'm like there's no way I'm and then Erica called me super upset yeah
it was bad yeah was there ever a part of you that was like, this is kind of a relief, I no longer
have obligations, quotas,
report to Dave. Yeah, you did.
You were working your ass off. There was
one immediate relief was I got off
Most Dangerous Games. Oh, yeah.
I didn't want to do that, and then I heard. Yeah, yeah.
Don't spoil it. Don't spoil it. Don't spoil it.
Okay, but. Don't spoil it. Don't spoil it.
No, the only thing that was a relief, because Big Cat,
I was, because I, we were texting because I remember I sent you the J-Rad review. Yeah, yeah only thing that was a relief, because Big Cat, I was, because I, we were texting,
because I remember I sent you the J-Rad review.
Yeah, yeah.
I was at a concert.
Yeah.
Thursday night, it was like, you know, the whole internet's waiting to hear from you,
and Mincy's texting me like a dead show review, but.
Yeah, no, it was a very, it was just a perfect Mincy touch that everything happened, and
you, I think, tweeted even, like, statement coming tomorrow, and then we didn't hear from
you for an entire day.
There's a Tinder.
And then I got a text from you and i got a text from him that night being like i'm at j-rat it's sick and
i was like we're still waiting for the statement you know it's funny like after it happened though
i literally had like a thing i was like well i can either like sit around and mope at home or i
can just get on with it so i just like go to a concert yeah never miss a sunday show no i mean
i went to like fortnight They got Thursday through Sunday.
I mean, it was a very fun show.
Did you see Dead & Company this summer?
I didn't.
I saw three nights of J-Rad.
I'm mad I missed Dead & Company, though.
I don't want to keep harping on the event, but one more thing.
The dude you were with.
Frasco.
How did he react afterwards?
He was cool.
He's big.
He's got a record deal with Sony.
He's blown up.
Is he white?
I feel like he's Jewish, the front white.
Okay, all right, okay.
No, but he's blown up.
Because I thought you had to get out right there.
I felt bad with him, but he's a maniac, and we're still boys.
I feel like he's Jewish. I feel like he's Jewish. jewish okay no he's a nut job though like he's
like i'm telling you he's the most entertaining artist yeah character there is i love it but like
after the show what did he say he was like yeah thanks thanks for having me he was just like oh
won't do this again well well he was apparently he was like there was a whole plan for him to play
music and stuff and he apparently was out on frenchman street, there was a whole plan for him to play music and stuff.
And he apparently was out on Frenchman Street until like 5 a.m.
He showed up late, showing age, struggling.
And I think, you know, I don't know.
I think he was pretty happy to get out of there.
I can't wait for Wake Up Mincy to come back.
I can't wait for Wake Up Mincy to come back, too.
Yeah.
Hopefully in the Chicago studio.
I have not ruined my relationship with Stella Blue.
I hope Wake Up Mincy is right.
No, come on.
You just said Chicago Studio?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll talk to Stella.
What?
Chicago Studio.
Is that a possibility?
Would you consider it?
I'm on my recruiting trip.
You're doing the gangbang and the majority of it.
Do you want to come to the gangbang?
Do you want to go to the gangbang?
Yeah.
What type is it?
What genre of gangbang?
Y'all are the ones talking about that.
What type would you go to?
If you could order off the menu.
One that had a lot more women than men.
But how many?
Not really a gangbang.
If there were ten people in the gangbang, how many women would you want in it?
You don't want too little.
Or too little men.
You don't want too many.
Too many means that they're going to be gangbanging each other,
and then it's like, well, they might not be focusing on you.
That makes it gay.
What's the perfect, yeah, what's the perfect?
I mean, I feel like that.
You technically would be at a gay gangbang if there was.
Yeah.
I feel like that would inspire more performance.
Right, but how many, because you understand the concept here.
If you have ten women and you and Nick,
and there's only so much man in the two of you.
So now there's a couple women.
And they're getting impatient.
Yeah, they're in the corner doing stuff.
Now I say, hey, Nick, how was the gangbang?
And Nick says, it was great for a gay gangbang.
It was a little gay.
Oh, with too many women?
Yeah, the women are being gay.
Women can be gay. Should have started there. the women are being gay Women can be gay Should have started there
Should have started there
Women can be gay
Of course
Right
People can be who they want to be
They actually are
Jerry's largest constituency
In Arlington Heights
Yeah
He's going for the L's
Yes
He's going to take the L's
L's for JJ
Okay, so now
Answer the question
I guess
I guess if we only have two of us And there's eight, that's a tough ratio.
Yeah, right?
Yeah, how would you go about it?
I mean, I feel like I'm not that strong.
I mean, I probably need one more male help, right?
Oh, okay.
Three and six.
Three and six or three and seven.
Well, you could do two women for every man.
You could do four and two.
Do you know how fractions work?
Yeah, 67%.
66.7%.
Two out of three.
Four out of six.
Four.
What?
Right?
I'm now lost.
Oh, you said.
But if you had eight women, you could just have four women and two guys
instead of adding another guy.
I didn't know.
I thought I had to have ten.
No.
I think six is the number.
Six is the ideal.
Four women, two men. I like that. I think we got it. I think six is the number. Six is the ideal. Four women, two men.
I like that.
I think we got it.
I think we found the optimal number.
Is that really a gang bang if there's only two of you?
I don't think so.
That's not a gang.
Oh, no.
So we do have four.
So how many people are in a gang?
It has to be at least three.
No, that's a crew.
That's a crew.
A crew.
A gang is four?
Probably.
I thought you were the one man gang. Posse, I feel like. That's a posse. Gang is four. Posse is four. Squad? A crew. That's a crew. A crew. A gang is four? Probably. I thought you were the one man gang.
I feel like that's a posse is four.
Gang is five?
Posse is four.
Squad?
A squad?
Wait, so that's enough, right?
Would that not be a gang bang?
Five?
Six?
Oh, you're saying the gang has to do the banging.
Oh, yeah, and they're going to bang you.
So, yeah, you're right.
It has to be ten.
I think you guys, unfortunately, are going to have to attend a gang bang.
It's going to be ten women, two guys, and there will probably be extracurriculars.
You're going to go to a gay gangbang.
What do you mean by extracurriculars?
The women.
Oh.
Loving on the women.
Yeah, I feel like that would inspire a better performance.
But you are okay with the fact that you're going to a gay gangbang.
Like, it's here lies Mincy once attended a gay gangbang.
I mean, that's the women to man ratio.
Right, but that's all that it says on your obituary.
I feel like worse things have been said about it.
But the thing is, wanting more guys there is also gay.
Yeah, right.
You're kind of stuck.
Paradox.
Yeah, I mean, I feel like it's a no win, but it would be fun.
Yeah, no.
There's no win in this game. Maybe let's just cancel it.
Of you fucking four women at once.
No win.
You know what?
Just cancel the whole thing.
This is too much of a headache.
Yeah, so you're going to do that, and then, yeah, you're going to be recruited.
I mean, the pitch is that you would – we need you in the office.
It's nice to feel wanted.
You're not going to – come on.
What are you going to do in New Orleans?
There's no sportsbook to bring to the people anymore.
I know.
No, I thought about it.
I can give you a piece of Brandon's studio.
The content's coming out of the office.
No, it's a contact company.
I can't give a piece of that studio.
I'm not – I'm very open to it.
I'm very open to it.
I'm not coming in here closed-minded.
I'm not letting you get on that plane until you give us a verbal offer.
Oh, wow.
So it's like the full college football commitment.
Want to get you some gear with your name on it?
All right.
Who's your celebrity crush?
Good question.
Who's my celebrity crush?
Great question.
I've got a few.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't know about Crush,
but it was really cool getting to meet and hang out with Rochelle Ryan this
summer in Vegas.
Who?
Like a porn star?
Rochelle Ryan.
Yeah, you can.
That's a suitable answer.
Blake turned her down.
She was –
Many times.
I was in the Stanley Cup Finals game five when Vegas won it,
and I've only been to one hockey game in my whole life,
and I got to go to this and see them win the title.
You know what that stands?
Because Rochelle Ryan's been in the office before,
and she's, like, the best.
She's a very nice woman.
Yeah, we got to hang out at the game.
So that stands.
Yeah, we did content.
She was awesome.
You did content with her.
We shot some games.
We shot some videos.
Oh.
I had my clothes on, unfortunately.
It would have been a lot cooler if I didn't.
Damn.
Yeah, but that was fun if I didn't. Damn. Yeah, but that was fun.
I didn't ever know.
It was crazy to me that she, like, DM'd me, like,
hey, I saw you were going to be at this game.
I really want to meet you.
I'm like.
She's a big stoolie.
Celebrity crush DM'd you and, like, approached you.
Yeah.
That's insane.
I remember.
I've never had a porn star DM me before, okay?
It's a big deal.
It's a big deal.
You know?
All right, so if it wasn't Rochelle, who counts, by the way?
Yeah.
She's a wonderful woman.
I would just meet her.
Okay.
Who would be throwback?
Maybe vintage childhood.
Well.
If you vintage childhood.
That makes it weird.
I mean, like, always liked, like, watching Save the Bell, like, Tiffany and Ruthie
Sentinels growing up.
Always liked her.
Okay.
She was definitely, let's say, one of them.
That'd be cool. Rochelle, Ryan, and Tiffany and Ruthie Sentinels. Hell yeah, man. I always liked her. Okay. She was definitely one of them.
Cool.
Rochelle Ryan and Tiffany in Brisbane.
Hell yeah, man.
All right, just guys talking shits.
All right.
Like I said, I couldn't get over it. Like I said, the porn star thing, you know, that's a new world.
You never know where Barstool will take you.
Did you ever think you had a chance?
Not really.
But she was cool.
Whatever.
I mean, define chance. Like you're like, hey, we she was cool. Whatever. I mean, define chance.
Like you're like, hey, we could start dating.
Not like, oh, she's a porn star.
No, like, this is going well.
Something that means something.
Yeah.
I mean, I feel like I could go hang out with her.
It'd be cool.
I don't know if it would go anything from there,
but I wouldn't have a problem texting her saying, hey, let's go get married.
Yeah.
I wouldn't have a problem sending her a text saying, hey, let's go get it.
We were in good enough
shape. She gave me her number.
Steven, you want to do the last ad?
Yeah, Z Biotics. We all have busy lives these days,
especially Mincy, just traveling all over the world,
flights day after day,
new gigs.
Can't afford to waste a day stuck on the
couch because of a few drinks the night before.
Z Biotics is the answer we've all been looking for.
Z-Biotics pre-alcohol.
Probiotic is the first genetically engineered probiotic.
It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking.
Here's how it works.
When you drink, alcohol gets converted to a toxic byproduct in the gut.
It's this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for a rough next day.
Z-Biotics produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down.
It's designed to work your liver, but it's designed to work like your liver,
but in your gut where you need it most.
Just remember, drink Z-Biotic before drinking alcohol.
Drink responsibly and get a good night's sleep for your best tomorrow.
Every time I have a Z-Biotic before drinking, it makes such a difference the next day.
Even after the drinks, that's all.
Even after drinking the night before, before I know what I'll be able to do,
Z Biotic's just the best.
If you're going to be having a nice night blacking out bowling or drinking out a bunch bowling,
Z Biotic's before is the move.

Thank you.
Steven, how are you feeling about this tournament?
I feel good because this counts as my name wheel thing.
What?
Because this counts as my name wheel thing where it landed on bowling.
Yeah.
You look like a bowling chair. Thank God.
Can we get an hibachi chef here?
Yeah, let's knock it all out.
Actually, there's hibachi, I think,, right in Japan, not too far from here.
We could maybe do that tonight.
You got a hibachi on the wheel?
We landed on hibachi.
Did you land on hibachi for you?
Yeah, that was mine.
Oh, it was TJ's.
Well, I don't know why I see you.
Whoops.
You had karate classes on your wheel.
What would you think of, Mincy?
Who had being good at math?
I'll go with KB.
Okay, all right.
Good answer.
What was that?
I said if I said the word hibachi and you could think of anyone in this room, who would you think of?
What about gong?
You.
All right, man.
The way you're enthusiastic.
What about kung pao chicken?
I can see Stephen Chay.
Oh, okay.
I do love Kung Pao Chicken.
There we go, yeah.
Hibachi got a pair of specs.
That's Buddha Ben's territory.
That's always going to be his territory.
He's the Hibachi guy.
I've never caught the shrimp at Hibachi.
No.
Never.
It's impossible.
Never caught the shrimp.
I like the onion.
I'm on Gen 3 diet still.
Gen 3?
Third day, I'm on Gen 3.
You're on day three? Yeah. I'm down eight pounds. No, Gen 3? Third day, I'm on your diet. You're on day 3?
Yeah, I'm down 8 pounds.
No, you're not.
Yeah, I am.
In how many days?
Three days.
Do you know how bad I eat and how much water weight you can lose?
That's easy, yeah.
Like, if I stop eating french fries and donuts for one day, I lose 5 pounds.
But you just have to get over the one to two week hump.
Then your stomach shrinks.
It stops craving that shit.
I know.
That's what I'm going through.
It's great.
Are you?
Yeah.
I always have an ice cream problem in summer.
It's like, man, it's two or three times a week.
But down in New Orleans, you've got to be eating a lot of carbs.
I had this really good ice cream place three blocks away from my house, Creole Cranberry.
It was a real, real problem.
But desserts aside.
No, but no. I'm off it.
I mean, I'm not.
You're off what?
Just sugar completely.
Do you think red?
As a trainer?
No.
What about the picture?
No, that was a long ago.
That was older.
That was in the first act of life, not the second.
You find it, TJ.
It's a new day.
You find the mincey, no sugar, no sugar, all car.
I love it so much.
What if I just ate ice cream?
David Bowie got very skinny drinking milk and eating hot peppers and doing cocaine.
That's horrible.
Which part?
It's not about milk, hot peppers, or cocaine.
It's about looking good.
Yeah.
No cocaine.
Nothing that boosts the dopamine.
Okay.
You could do Halo Top.
And the thing is with Gen 3, you earn rewards.
Oh, your new protocol?
Oh, yeah.
Do you give the rewards out?
No, you have to set up your own reward basis.
Maybe you stay off your phone for 12 hours.
You get to eat ice cream.
Okay.
You should give out the rewards.
Yeah, you should.
Some of my clients do want me to personalize their own protocol, which is.
Wait, you have clients?
The entire protocol was you just getting a bunch of dollars.
You missed three generations of protocols for me.
Yeah, three.
We're on Gen 3 already.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Is he your only client?
Do you plunge?
Do you cold plunge?
Yeah.
I've done it once, but I can't say I do it regularly.
What's the consistency?
Once.
No, I heard it's a real thing.
Do you Q-tip your ears?
The last time I did it in 2019, I like, no, no, no.
I put a Q-tip in.
No, but it like broke in my ear.
And then I had like hearing problems for a while.
It was stuck in there?
I like did it too hard.
Is it still in there?
I don't know, but it's like.
You don't know? You don't know. Does it have a Q-tip in your ear still? still in there? I don't know, but it's like... You don't know?
You don't know.
Does it have a Q-tip in your ear still?
It was bad.
I don't know.
Get it out.
I had like a traumatic...
Did you ever get a brain scan?
I mean, I do eardrops.
I'll do like ear drops in my ears.
It's probably in your frontal cortex.
It just migrated.
It's behind your eyeball.
You have a lobotomy via Q-tip.
Yeah, it was bad.
I felt like my hearing was bad for like six months after.
You remember getting it out.
I just put it in too hard.
You said it broke off.
I felt like part of it did.
Do you ever remember it coming out?
I never remember a Q-tip staying in there, but my hearing was bad.
Did you ever get...
For like six months, I didn't feel like I was hearing.
You never went and saw a doctor or anything?
No, I got a powder thing. Yeah, I mean, I didn't feel like I was here. You never went and saw a doctor or anything? No, I got a powder thing.
Yeah, I mean, I didn't like it.
Brandon would go on hospice care if this happened to him.
It's over, guys.
Guys, I got bad news.
I'm off the yak.
My final song.
A little Q-tip in my ear.
Q-tip in my ear.
They're taking me off the ventilator.
They're putting me to sleep.
They're putting me down, guys.
I can't imagine losing a Q-tip in your ear and not getting it out.
No, I mean, it just like.
That sucks.
I'm going to be off balance forever.
I'm kind of only not here for six months after that.
I mean, it was like a, it was like something like my ear felt like it was kind of like squeak.
Like it wasn't open the whole way or something.
No, that's cute.
That's cute.
That's like a top five worst feeling.
It wasn't good.
And you just had that for so long.
It got better, and then it got back to 100%.
Your body absorbed it.
And now, since then, I do ear drops to clean my ears instead of Q-tips.
Oh, that's smart.
Because I don't feel like I'll jam them up. Yeah. It's bad. I kind of want to see you ears instead of Q-tips. Oh, that's smart. Because I don't feel like I'll jam them up.
Yeah.
I kind of want to see you go back to Q-tips.
Get back
on that old horse. See if you can
tame it. Oh yeah, here it is.
Still no sugar.
Fear not.
And that's Missy's meal.
With bread,
baked beans that have like the most sugar. Blue bread, baked beans that have the most sugar.
Blue-egg barbecue, shout out.
Mashed potatoes.
There was no sugar in that.
No, clearly not.
I actually defended you on that because I think the exact same way.
If it's not candy or ice cream, I'm like, no sugar.
I can't conceive of the fact they'd put sugar in something else.
The four pieces of white bread probably screwed up.
I thought the baked beans were the funniest.
Yeah, that's tough, too, because they do have a lot of barbecue sauce.
But the four huge pieces of white bread, I think, gave me away.
What else we got?
Yeah, you going to be on tomorrow, Mincy?
Yeah, I'm here tomorrow, man.
Mincy will be on the act tomorrow.
We're going to be back.
I've got a one-way flight here, you know.
Announcements to the people, to the Yak listeners,
I know that I was kind of a pussy yesterday,
bore my soul.
Bored my soul.
I'm feeling better today.
We're going to get back at it.
I'm starting to figure out solutions.
So one of them is I don't like that studio that we do the Yak in
right now in the temporary office.
So we will be switching to a couch
figuration, something a little bit more
relaxed. I watched some of it back
and I was like, we look so stiff and uptight
because we're all sitting up at this fucking desk.
So that will change. That will
change. Even this is better. Yeah.
Yeah. So that would, because I know that we
have the temporary studio for probably mid-September, late September.
So we'll make sure that we do it in a more comfortable setting.
We also are going to have to do our travel episodes.
Yeah, we're going to do some travel episodes.
Taking the act to the people.
Well, we got to do a sleepover at Brandon's house.
That's right.
We should do that.
We got to do it before it gets cold.
Yeah.
Come on.
It's ready.
Let's do it.
Most beautiful backyard.
Also, John Rich did the investigates of Ben Mintz.
He has another one coming out.
Yes.
Very soon.
Are you aware of this?
Me?
Wait a minute.
No, no, no.
I thought that's what you meant.
I'm sure.
That one got me pretty good.
Who's he doing?
Am I allowed to say?
I have the trailer.
Yeah, we have the trailer.
All right, so let's watch the trailer.
I had no idea.
Yeah.
Oh, I guess.
Where is this?
I have to say we had a good trip.
Great trip.
Uh-oh.
Oh!
Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh, yeah. I wonder how Will took this.
Yeah.
Is Will aware of this?
I don't know.
I don't know if he'll know.
Interesting.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I just saw the bar still bar there.
Do those still exist to us? Yeah. Those are still ours? Yeah. Oh, know. Yeah. I just saw the Barstool bar there.
Do those still exist to us?
Yeah.
Those are still ours?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
How does the brand – Barstool bar.
Okay.
The Barstool bars are ours.
The casinos, obviously, are not.
Anything in a casino –
None of the bars are called Sportsbook?
No, they're just the Barstool, like, River North stuff.
Also, there were some people asking me, like,
what happens to the bets that they have right now?
That is all the same.
Like, Barstool Sportsbook is the actual sportsbook is going to,
at some point in the next couple months, switch over to ESPN bets,
but look exactly the same.
So if you have a bet.
Same software, okay.
Yeah, and I will probably bet with ESPN bets.
So it's like, you know, like, that's all the same,
so don't worry about that if you have a future.
Don't worry about your wood shampoo either.
Yeah.
You can still drink it.
It's still delicious.
I'm surprised there's no playoff to ESPN.
ESPN and Penn.
ESPN.
Oh, wow.
I was surprised because they used to call ESPN ESPN.
I was surprised.
The more you said that is surprising.
Yeah, but everybody used to call ESPN.
I'll play devil's advocate.
I'm not surprised at all that there wasn't that.
Okay.
I just thought it was a very obvious thing.
What a coincidence.
I just thought it was an obvious thing.
Overlapping sounds.
Yeah.
So how would it have looked?
That's Pim.
Convince me to be surprised.
I just remember they used to call ESPN.
Right, right.
So what would it have been?
The announcement Pim.
ES Pim. Okay, now I actually am surprised. Yeah, that's pretty good. Right, right. So what would have been the announcement?
ESPIM.
Okay, now I actually am surprised.
Yeah, that's pretty good.
You're right.
No, you're right.
Now that I'm visualizing. I couldn't visualize it.
But, I mean, I just remember that was ESPIM.
Yeah, so ESPIM.
Like that's how you used to call it.
Yes.
Okay.
Last thing.
Bowling.
Oh, yeah.
Wheel.
Bowling is going to be live.
It's going to be on the part of my take YouTube.
So we have to reset all the cameras. It's going to be on the Pardon My Take YouTube. So we have to reset all the cameras.
It's going to be live in 35 minutes.
So it's going to be awesome.
Boss will return to the King shirt.
Here's who we got competing.
Big Cat, Hank, Mincy, Megan, Chase, Sidney Wells, Nick, White Sox Dave,
Brandon, Chief, Darian, Carl, KB, Dante, Eddie, Titus.
If there's anyone who doesn't show, Kate will be in.
Yeah.
Kate, I'm sorry you're not bowling.
Tune in for fucking Darian.
You can help with the announcing, too.
Also, do we have that video of Rico falling on the bowling alley?
Oh, yeah.
Where he flips on the...
I just would maybe like to close out with that.
Awesome, awesome video.
Just for fun.
He's trying to break the record.
The Brandon Walker Memorial Bowling Tournament. Sponsored by Firestone. Hydroplane with that. Awesome. Awesome, awesome video. Just for fun. He's trying to break the record. The Brandon Walker Memorial Bowling Tournament.
Sponsored by Firestone.
Hydroplane Awareness.

Brandon, you just went and had a little fun.
Sounds like a blast. You just l through a puddle, this is the tournament for you. Brandon, you just went and had a little fun. Sounds like a blast.
What a blast to puddle.
Okay.
Great yak, everyone.
Great to have you back, Mincy.
We'll see everyone tomorrow.

Maybe we'll be able to do couches tomorrow.
I doubt we can switch the next one.
No.
Is there anybody else?
Great to have anybody
else back.
Caitlin Walker is here.
We haven't seen her
in a while.
Oh, yay.
Great to see her.
Always good to see her.

devastated without you.
I'm not me without you.

That's a fact.
I told you.
No. No. Okay. I love you, Brandon. You know I fucking love you. I missed. That's a fact. I told you. No. No.
