Frank is back. We will let Frank on in the end of the show. He just came in hot today. We just wanted to catch up with Brandon because we haven't seen him in a while. Fun little anecdote from Frank's return I was like I thought Kate was here She'll be here at 1.30 I said to Frank

We have a full house Because I thought Kate was here And Brandon's back for the first time in a week and a half So we want to catch up with him And he was like I'm back for the first time in two weeks and a half so we want to kind of catch up with him and he was like well i'm back for the first time in two weeks and i was like well brandon's dad died and frank goes not to one-up him but my dad had a kidney biopsy yesterday i was like so that's not one

alive but then did you know what he said as you walked away what he said as of right now as of right now he's alive so if he ran over here now said, as of right now. As of right now, he's alive. So if he ran over here now and said, my dad just died, we'd have to put him on the line. We'd have to put him on. We'd have no choice. I thought that was an interesting anecdote where I was like, yeah, we haven't seen Brandon and his father die. He's like, well, my dad saw the doctor yesterday. Brandon, did Frank reach out to you?

He did not. I do have a list of people that did not. I didn't expect him to. So back Frank. Everybody dies. Not everybody gets kidney biopsy. That's true. That is actually a fact. That is true. Oh fuck. You're absolutely

right. You're kind of like that huh? You're absolutely right. Frank will come on at the end but he also needs like a simmering down phase because he came in shot out of a cannon. The Braves have won 14 straight. We wanted to catch up with Brandon. We wanted to see our boy brandon who's back and and it's good to have you back we missed you thank you um how's it feel to be back let's start doing venmo requests not to fire up frank yeah like i literally said i was like to f like poke the bear he's like don't do

it don't do it don't do it uh brandon can I ask you a real quick question? Yeah. Did you at least attempt to use your father's death to get wrestling back? There were conversations that I thought about having, yes. Because I would have done that if I were you. It wasn't that. It wasn't the dad's death. But yesterday, I did put out a blog about something that happened in wrestling. And I could have done like a youtube and i would and i was going to say listen my dad just died and i could not be working right now but this is how much i love this shit look at me but i didn't didn't

you wouldn't believe his last wish erica just all he wanted was right i visited him the last time and he said just tell me please Rasslin isn't canceled. Just please interview Jerry the King Lawler one time. It's like, nope. What about the rumors that he couldn't take the dozen loss? Oh. That was the weird. That's the one that.

He died the day after that went live. And I'm like, I'm already sad and I can't. Yeah, that was rough. But that actually helped you in a weird way because it was like people can't be that mean to you. No, you're correct. They had to tone down a little bit because I did have an actual real-life tragedy happen. But it was a – So savvy move to cover up your dozen loss by killing your father. It's like the opposite of Rocky and Mickey.

Yeah. Tip of the hat. We did miss you a lot, though, Brandon. Thank you. I appreciate it. Welcome back. Feels good to be back. You're not going to Omaha, right?

No. We got Idol next week. I'm staying here. I'm not going. I think it's fucking sickening that somebody like Casey, she hasn't paid attention to college baseball all year, and now she's going to go and act like a big fan of college baseball. It's crazy.

It's fucking garbage. That is garbage. Fake ass shit. What happens if Ben Mintz wins the title? You know, good for him, I guess. I'm not paying attention to it. When does it start? Friday.

Cool. Tomorrow. Cool. 16 minutes? Yes. All right. So, that would suck. It'd be fine.

Good for him. What else? What do you want to catch us up with? Your day. It's a Brandon Walker day. It does feel good to come back after two weeks of being off and then immediately being forced to say something funny. Yeah, yeah.

So do it. Tommy Walker has been doing a lot of things lately. Oh, okay. Tommy Walker day is coming up fast. It is. It is. Have we decided which day it actually is? I don't know because it can't be July 13th.

Have you guys seen the shirt? Oh, yeah, because we got the, yeah. Yeah, so could it be July 15th? Or July 14th? Well, that's a Thursday. Right. Does that work? I don't know.

Yeah, why not? Well, I'm also going to be in Mississippi all July because I don't have anywhere to live up here. So July 14th then sounds like it doesn't work. Well, me and Tommy can fly up. Yeah, the Tommy Walker booth that we have cooking. Sick. That would be awesome. You and Tommy got to fly up for business?

Hold on. Tommy should compete in the mini golf tournament. Literally on his birthday. Yes. I'm stamping that as Tommy Walker has an invite to the Barstool Invitational. Yeah. So I could fly up, he could play in the tournament, and we have Tommy Walker Day the next day.

And that would be really funny, too, if you're just playing with your son the whole time, and whenever you get in a close competition, you're like, it's my son's birthday. Yeah. Just throw that at him. Yeah, all right. The grand prize is a two-handed katana oh and then we'll go we'll roll it right into tommy walker day the next day we'll do a big draft

oh my god what a day that will be we're all getting him a different medieval weapon for that sounds good he just found it he just found his sword the other day it was hidden but we're moving uh so it was in a box and he found it and the first thing he asked me was dad which end would i kill somebody with? Probably both if you're good with it. Yeah. Can we just flash the shirts that we have in works? I know they're not done.

Half a second. Yeah, half a second. Maybe give him one full second. One full second. Give him one full second. What do you think Tommy's going to do if he sees someone on the street wearing this shirt? It'll be... That's what we said when they're nationwide.

People are like, I know that kid. That would be so funny. It would be better that somebody recognized the child than they, like, what's that boy on your shirt? Yeah, it's true. I like Tommy, but I would show absolutely no mercy if he was in my group. Oh, wow. On his birthday?

On what? No, I would absolutely stop him. Oh, about golf? Yes. Relax. His grandfather just died. Oh, wow. On his birthday? On what? No, I would absolutely stop him. Oh, by golf? Yes. Relax. His grandfather just died. Oh, I was saying, I like Tommy. Okay, well that doesn't mean anything if you just said you're going to kill him. No, I'm not going to kill him.

Well, in a golf tournament. Yes, I will kill him at golf. Now we have to have that as a paragraph. I don't think that was a full second. Yeah, flash it again. Yeah, flash it. Just leave it up because it's not even finished. No. That is going to be, it's not finished.

But we are going to sell these shirts. You know what we should do? Okay, well, I don't actually know. We're going to sell these shirts and we're going to get Tommy a big present. I'm going to get him a big fucking present. All right. I'm going to get him a big. I don't know if we need to do that.

I'm going to get him a car. I don't know if we need to do that. Can he drive yet? He can't drive. Well. This summer I am going to get him a pig. I don't know if we need to do that. I'm going to get him a car. I don't know if we need to do that. Can he drive yet? He can't drive. Well. This summer, I am going to try to teach him. But it's his car. Yeah, it is his car.

He'll just sit there for five years? I don't know. You decide. You're not allowed to drive it. No one but Tommy's allowed to drive it, and it's also- We're going to do weekly checks on the mileage on the car. Yeah, just sit there for four years. Make sure no one's driving his fuel.

Yeah, and it's- You just got him a really pimped out golf cart. What kind of car? What kind of car? Probably an Escalade. Yeah. That makes sense. That's a good first car.

Starter car for Tommy Walker. Whose car is that in the driveway? That's my kid's. We're not allowed to touch it. We're not even allowed to look at it. If we need a Cadillac, we know a guy. Yeah, that's true. Joe Sinatra.

Now tell me this. Is it legal to drive a golf cart just around? I don't think so. Well, not's true. Joe Sinatra. Joe Sinatra, yeah. Now tell me this. Is it legal to drive a golf cart just around? I don't think so. Well, not for Tommy. If you say you want it. I think it's street legal, isn't it? No. No.

It doesn't have seat belts. They also don't go over like- You got to go to Teach Tree City. You got to go to- What's the one in Florida? Fuck. Gasparilla, I think, is like a golf cart community. Riggs says it's a golf cart community. Isn't Fire Island? A lot of islands do that. Fuck. Gasparilla, I think, is like a golf cart community. Riggs says it's a golf cart community.

Isn't Fire Island? A lot of islands do that. Yeah. It should be more commonplace. I think it should because they're not dangerous and they're very efficient. Thicker sidewalks. I always thought the eight-person one like at airports was sick. Oh, they're awesome.

You could somehow convince yourself to be like 11 years old, drive your friends to school and that thing. How do you get on that? You just fake an injury. Or be old or fat. Yeah. Old or fat. Got them three different ways.

Yeah. Have you been on? No. You've never? I can't do that to my pride. I can't be that guy that gets on. Oh, you could do that to the pride. Would you have been on Big Cat?

No. I would if I felt like I needed to get from point A to point B and I didn't want to walk. I'd definitely fake an injury for that. Now Brandon, you spent the better part of 2019 getting fat shamed and I never understood why. Why are you using that

voice? Sounds like you're interviewing. So why are your hands like that? He's consoling. Sounds like you're interviewing. Like 60 minutes. AB's He's consoling. This is his. Sounds like you're interviewing. Like 60 minutes. KB's way of consoling is becoming Barbara Walter. I had man hugs with most of you. The most awkward was with KB.

Yeah. Because he did it while I was sitting. We didn't man hug. We did. Well, yeah. You know what they say. It's hard. Yeah.

Why haven't we man hugged? Well, because we haven't seen each other until just now. Want a man hug? I didn't man hug you. I just clapped for you. You led a standing ovation. Yeah, that's true. Let's see it. Man hug.

Going right for the hug. The man part is you missed the man part. No, he did the man part. He did the fist in the back. No, no, no. The man part is you miss the man part. No, he did the man part. He did the fist in the back. No, no, no, no. The man part is you dap and then you bring it in for the hug. No, I go real hug. A hug is never first.

Yeah. The manliest hug is a real hug. That was a woman's hug. That's a man who's not scared to do a real hug. You just woman's hugged him. To his other man friends. I mean, that was a good hug. It was a tight hug.

I appreciate it. A hell of a hug. Hell of a hug. Brought some wires there. And now he's chick hugged him. Oh, fuck. Sometimes you need a good chick hug. Should we talk about the elephant in the room? Alright, fuck. What? Huh? What is that?

He's the elephant. That's the thing. You're not fat. What are y'all doing? That's the thing. You're not. You're not fat. What are y'all doing? No one sees you. We're building you up. No, everyone on this show used to shame him. Yeah.

But I would never see you walking down the street and be like, look at that fucking fat dude. Technically speaking, if you went by the body mass index, you are obese, but you're not. I think it's just because for a while you were taking your shirt off for a lot of things. I think you're as fat as I'm short. Yeah. How'd this become the subject is all I'm saying. It's not. Also, you're kind of...

He's making this about him. By complimenting Brandon, you're trying to make yourself... We went to the Mean Girls thing yesterday and KB surrounds himself with dudes who are like six inches shorter than him. He's like Tom Cruise. Yeah.

All the doors are modified. Yeah. KB is the tallest one in his crew by like a foot. There's one street in New York where there's a tree branch that's low enough for Kyle to have to duck, and every time he's with a girl, he diverts down that one. Hey, watch your head. Oh, what the fuck? It always happens. Alright, so

yeah, you're not fat. Thank you. Big time fat guy move with very low socks. You can just make your socks lower and lower if you're feeling self-conscious. What? Oh, that tells you. What the hell does that mean?

That has nothing to do with it. What are you talking about fat and socks? What? I think fat guys look good in higher socks. Yeah. Agreed. I wear cap socks every day. Yeah.

You think low socks make you less fat? Yeah, because Brandon's got fine athletic ankles, so he's showing those off. The more y'all say I'm not fat and the more you come up with these reasons I'm not fat, it kind of feels like y'all think I'm not fat, and the more you come up with these reasons I'm not fat, it kind of feels like y'all think I'm fat. No, I don't think you're fat. I do think you wearing a bra is a good move, but I don't think you're fat.

You're definitely not that fat. I would hate that. Yeah, I didn't like it. Only this show would have a guy come back because his literal father passed away And just gaslight him into me I'm not gaslighting

No I'm not either I was talking about another show I wasn't talking about this show It's a different show No the outfit in the room was The fact that Stephen Che is now the commissioner Of a fantasy baseball league Football league With like some of the best baseball players in MLB.

Were you in a group chat with them? Yes. How is that going? Can you just read it? Okay, so I'll read some of the parts. Oh, you're in it? Well, no. Dave was sending me some.

He was tweeting it last night. Oh, no. Yeah, so Dave was sending me some of it. All right, so let's just back up real quick so everyone knows the Tommy Pham Jock Peterson story Tommy Pham slapped Jock Peterson in the center field during a rain delay about three weeks ago and it turns out it was a beef over a fantasy football like disagreement uh then we got more news about it Mike Trout was the commissioner Tommymmy fan was like mike trout was a terrible commissioner crazy story hilarious story flash forward dave gets invited to this league mike trout was like i don't want to be commissioner

anymore can you find a commissioner he's like i got just the guy for it enter steven che steven che then uh when dave's, I have just the guy for it, Stephen Che quote tweeted it. Can we show the quote tweet, please? Can we show the quote? No, no, no. Can we show the quote tweet, please? So, yesterday, nothing was happening

in terms of the world of wrestling or anything. Just a casual Vince McMahon story about passing a secretary around like a toy and paying $3 million. What kind of toy? Sex toy. Okay, okay.

A female, an actual human being as a sex toy, and this all came out, I don't know, like around, I'd say like 5 o'clock, and then this was, when was this tweet? 503. 503, Stephen Che. 546, 45 minutes later, Stephen Che. Che was back. You did this a month ago. What was the situation?

The Foo Fighters. Foo Fighters. Yes. I mean. It was the number one trending thing. Yeah. On Twitter, Vince McMahon, and then you were like, here comes the bad guy. I just thought of a commissioner who could restore order, and I was like, okay, well.

Yeah. Yeah. Still up? You didn't delete it? There's no Bud Seelig. No, too many people were like, oh, bad timing, and I didn't know what they were talking about, so then a lot of people posted pictures of the article, which was sad. To his defense, there's not a lot of Bud Seelig gifs out there.

Yeah. Actually, can we check that? I did search for Adam Silver GIFs. What's the Bud Selig GIF? It's probably the one from Milwaukee. Mika's batting like five for five. I do have to eat lunch. Can I go out on top? Can I go out like Steve?

You got to go to 130. Yeah, that's the one from the tie, from the all-star tie, when he's talking to the umps. Nope. That's it. I'm going to eat lunch, eh? I'm going to use that one, T.J. I'm going to use that one. That rules.

Yeah, so I wanted to send a little bit of an opposite statement. Like, I would clean the game up, so I thought, oh, Vince walking in. Looks like he's in charge. I mean, I had zero clue that that had just broken. Okay, can you go back to the tweet, T.J., because I want to also tell this part of the story. So if you scroll down, I then said Stephen T.J. I announced that if Stephen T.J. can get a back to the tweet, TJ, because I want to also tell this part of the story. So if you scroll down, I then said Stephen Chay. I announced that if Stephen Chay can get a team in the league, I will fund it.

I will fund the buy-in. Wow, you're back. It's a high-rolling league. And Stephen Chay, keep going, keep scrolling, keep scrolling. Stephen Chay said, how much, or no, hit the tweet and then scroll to the replies of everyone being like, Stephen Chay, you fucking idiot. Yeah, all these people, tough timing, all this stuff and then scroll to the replies of everyone being like, Stephen Che, you fucking idiot. Yeah, all these people, tough timing, all this stuff. When did this all come out?

Keep going, keep going. Only Stephen would do this, and it's just so perfect. Keep going. It was like within the hour. Keep going, keep going. Also, the Stephen Che news guy really let me down on that. Yeah, he did. Oh, is it a guy that updates you on?

Yes, he did. Keep going. Yeah, Schefter really should have tweeted about this. He probably could have. Keep going. Definitely could have. Let's see. Are we looking for you?

We're looking for a tweet that says, do you have an extra three million? Oh, yeah, there we go. First question, do you have three million to spare? So this is obviously this person is talking about the settlement that Vince McMahon said. Yeah, I know you didn't. Oh, I didn't even put that together. Yeah, I know you didn't. I know you didn't. So he said, you know, $3 million was the NDA that Vince McMahon made the quote unquote sex toy,

who was a real person. He paid that person for hush money. Stephen Che texted me and was like, you'll really fund my buy-in? Someone in the replies said it was $3 million for the buy-in for this fantasy football. Oh, Jesus Christ. Che. This is how confused Che can get. I mean, baseball players make like a ton of money. I'm Justin.

No, $8? $3 million. That would be like for a fantasy football. I have some skin in the game. For the record, boys, I don't know if you know the whole story. I can get their money back. First gets $34 million. That's the second dumbest text he sent.

Yeah, so then the other, the dumbest text is Shane Bieber, who is a pitcher for the Indians, or Guardians. Won a Cy Young couple years ago. Won a Cy Young. Pretty well-known name. You don't have to be a huge baseball fan to know it. He's in the league. And Stephen Che.

We should clarify that i do not know anything about it we talked i think i said on the yak a month ago i probably named 10 to 12 active players he said is there a baseball player named bieber or is this really just a b so on the group text with the whole league is this really um one of the one of the people said like hey everybody introduce yourself so d so Dave and Che can save your numbers. And one guy just wrote Bieber. And I was like, holy shit. And this is at the time where I think it's a $3 million buy-in.

So I'm like, okay, well, playing with the big boys. That is kind of, all right. We can't make fun of him. This is incredible. He's in a group chat with Mike Trout and Manny Machado. The best baseball players in the world. Has Trout said anything to you? I can't tell. Not everyone has introduced themselves, so I have a bunch of random notes.

We really need to see the text. But you said the group chat is just to turn into conversation, and you're just in there. You're the commissioner. You can't be shy. At least read something. I have a lot of them are West Coast guys. Demand everyone tells you who they are. Are you talking about asserting dominance?

There's one last text that didn't get made public that's very funny. I don't know if Dave tweeted it. I just sent it to you, TJ. Just make sure there's no numbers on it. I don't think there are. Oh, that would be great. Oh, yeah, that would not be great. That would be so fucked.

Oh, my God. This is what... Oh, my... That could be good for us. We would make headlines. Yeah. Just to remind people, Dave has just unleashed Stephen Che, who this show knows very well,

into a group of Major League Baseball players, millionaires. Like, they have no idea what they're about to do. I'd like to point out it's also a league of guys who have already slapped each other. Correct. They've already shown they've got the ability to get mad at each other, and now Stephen fucking Che is in it. Is Fam and Jock back in it, or in this? Jock is, Fam is not. Why? You've got to get mad at each other and now steven fucking chase yes fam and jock back in it or in this i jock is fam is not why you got to get him in dave is taking fam spot okay so that's

how it all started liking men yeah it's incredible real quick how did dave get into i know dave's famous but i don't know but the whole story is just incredible the fact that this story like was basically the biggest story for a couple days in the sports world, and everyone was joking about it. One of the funniest stories pretty much in the last year in sports. And now Stephen Chay is the commissioner of this fantasy football. It's amazing. So I walked past his desk.

We did Hot Eyes before. I'm like, Steve, you have anything you're bringing into the league? Maybe something funny? He's like, no, but I am looking at draft dates. And he's got a spreadsheet of the guys' available dates late in the season of when he could get them on all the baseball schedules all the baseball schedules like player x player y he wouldn't i don't know if the full list of guys in the league has got out yet but i don't believe how many players are in this league there's 11 and then there's 12 there's one group that shares the team. It's co-managed. Okay. And then so can we see the text I just sent TJ?

So this is Steven Che. So 12 team league, couple questions. And then Mike Bustakis, who everyone should probably know. That means two. Here we go. Oh, that's amazing. Off to races. Like this is going to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

This needs to just be its own show. I was in tears last night texting with Dave, realizing what he had done. Stephen Jay just being unleashed on these things. This is so awesome. Unbelievable. It's Applebeats, too. Very happy for you.

This is awesome. Very busy guys who are playing Major League Baseball. Stephen Jay, pull that back up again. were the questions let me see the questions in there auction or snake draft one qb two b super flex league what's faab free agent acquisition budget like a different way to do waivers i mean if they're i i was assuming that these are like guys are uh huge fans guys they were talking about it before. Puffle Meets 2. Awesome. Unreal.

That's a great reply. Puffle Meets 2. That's crazy. Oh, man. The question I have, though, is Dave going to be like, yeah, this is the muscle, and back Che? Like, yeah, he's the commish. Like, I brought this guy in.

Like, respect him. He's going to go all heel, turn him against it. He's shitting on him the whole time. Immediately. So either way, hilarious content. So that tweet or that text. So this is all happening very fast. This happens from, I think, like 6.05 to like 6.30.

So I'm getting a bunch of texts. I'm trying to keep up with Twitter and respond to all these texts that I'm getting. And, yeah, so I don't know anything about baseball. So, you know, as people are introducing themselves, and that's when Big Cat's texting about some stuff so i text him back about the bieber thing so he responds like i have to tweet that so i'm like all right whatever but then i'm like all right maybe these guys won't see it but then dave in the group text with everyone sends that and it's like hey shane this is pretty pretty tough with the new commission thinking

you're justin bieber so uh yeah d Dave not super backing me, but it's fun, and I thank him for the opportunity. Yeah, he's just guys. Steven's just going to get roasted every day, and he's going to be like, yeah, they're my buddies. You're not in the league? Well, so that's the part is I really, really am trying to get him in the league. I think he should be.

Because I want to add an extra element of content where Stephen has a team. I fund the team, so I'm the owner of Stephen Che. So then we can criticize and I'll actually give shares of Stephen Che's team to everyone on this show. And we'll own Stephen Che and we

can micromanage him to death. One of the guys, or I'm not really sure. Yeah, KB, my guess. That would be incredible. One of the guys, or I'm not really sure. Yes, KB, my guess. That would be incredible. One of the guys is a Cubs guy. Who? I'll tell you after, but he's a... Let me look. I have the list.

I don't trust any of your baseball knowledge. That's actually hilarious. You can make his team publicly traded. You're selling off chairs. It's unbelievable. Yeah, this is going to be... It'll be like Larry. Remember when they sold pieces of Larry?

Yeah. Larry was publicly traded. Steven, you're going to get slapped. Yeah, that was a pyramid scheme, huh? You've been slapped? Oh, yeah, by this. Yeah. Actually, one of the things I did this morning was download the video of me slapping Nick.

And I have that in case things get out of hand. You should probably go ahead and send that now. Against me? Send it now. No, against the group. Yeah, you should go ahead and send that to the group. Send it now. Against me? Send it now. No, against the group. Yeah, you should go ahead and send that to the group. Send it now. Well, Shane Bieber's response to it was like, how soon can we get Che Clown Nose shirts made?

Yes. So I let him slide with that one just because I had no idea who he was. I'll let them bully you. Wait, yeah, you're already soft as a commissioner. I said I'll let that one go. You say that? I'm here to enforce. You know, it's their league. Have a You say that? I'm here to enforce. You know, it's their league.

Have a fun league, but I'm here to enforce the rules. It's your league. It's yours. It's the Stephen Chase. You've taken ownership of the most famous fantasy football league in America. Yeah, it really is. Yeah, it's quite the honor. It's an absolutely insane.

This is like a dream for you. Are you going to be in charge of approving trades? Yeah, oh yeah. Will you always approve them? I mean, it depends on what the trade is. No dream for you. Are you going to be in charge of approving trades? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Will you always approve them? I mean, it depends on what the trade is. No, not necessarily. But if both the teams agree. I mean, if both the teams agree and it's a fair trade, then for sure.

Are you going to block the draft results and everything? We're getting into all that. So, yeah, I'll have more concrete. Yeah, are you like a your team, your choice type of guy? Or are you like the bigger power, the B, should decide what everyone's team, like what happens with them? If we have a trade, do I get autonomy of my own body slash team? I mean, if it's a choice, he wants to have their autonomy. Yeah.

Talking about fantasy football. Talking about fantasy football, yeah. Yeah, like if it was a woman playing fantasy football, I'd be like, listen, honey, you don't know what you're doing. Yeah. Classic. Wait, don't play fantasy football. Okay. Just kidding.

Just kidding. Nice try. Oh, man. All right. What else we got going on? What if somebody's inactive? What if Trout is starting a guy on a buy? Oh, good question.

I mean, that'll certainly get called out. And then Texan probably to a higher level. Oh, certainly. Who's the higher level? Probably put on blast to the world. There's a higher up? Oh. Wait, so what are your, like, can you maybe make, like,

10 do's and don'ts that you can send the league to set expectations? I'm trying to just kind of figure out what's going on. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Do's and don'ts right now that you can send? Yeah. And I want a wheel to decide what he sends. And number 10 is most importantly, have fun, boys. Yeah, this is your league. Have fun.

So my first suggestion was like, how do you guys pick the draft or they just said out of a hat? So I said, oh, what if we integrate the yak? We do it on the wheel. And what did they say? Like, what the fuck is that? The person that I talked to said that was a great idea. Oh, who i don't want to reveal them yet just say it i don't think i don't think i don't think the league is public yet like with like who's in it and like if espn like all these networks are interviewing guys like i don't know that they necessarily want that out there do you

think that you your name will be mentioned in an inner a clubhouse interview at some point yes i think it will be. Mike Trout is asked. I'm anxious to see what nickname every part of this is. It's so unbelievable. We made fun of him for thinking he could affect Aaron Donald. I'm starting to think he's Forrest Gump

or something. It's one of those moments that we're actually not giving it enough credit for how crazy it is. This was the biggest story. This fantasy football league is so popular. Right.

It is what everyone was talking about and thinking about. Yes. Mike Trout had an interview that went viral talking about being the commissioner.

Now Steven is. On the job. Even Jay is. Now you can't make car payments. Even Jay just replaced Mike Trout. He can't even make

his own car payments. He's running the league. My auto payments are set up. Oh my't make car payments. Even Jay just replaced Mike Trout. He can't even make his own car payments. He's running the league. My auto payments are set up. Oh, my God. So unbelievable. Quite the turn of events. Yes. Quite.

Paul's asleep in the barber's chair running a multi-million dollar league. There's a flashlight app on his phone. I need him to get a team. I really need him to get a team. I don't think you do. I think it's good enough with just either way. Then it blurs the line too where he has to be

commissioner but he also has to be fair. It really puts him in a pickle. If he gets in the league and wins it, they're all going to leave the league. The league's going to be over. Which would also be funny. That would be hilarious. One thing those guys enjoy. We don't give him any of whatever he does will be right. Yeah. It will

be the best case scenario. Can we show Dave's tweet where Stephen's introduction into this league? I think he tweeted that, right? Where Stephen introduced himself. I have a question. Did Dave come up with Stephen Chase's answer or did Dave ask you and you were like... No, Dave did. He was like, I got just the guy. I'm surprised you're not in the chat

just for like observance. I don't want to be. I want to be as far away from this as possible because I know what's going to happen. These guys are going to hate Stephen Chay's guts. Okay. And I don't want to have to defend my guy. And then you'll be a guilty person. Yeah, I can just be like, oh, I have no idea. I'm not a part of this.

I just want to be a fly on the wall who gets to laugh at all of this. I don't know if he sent that. I'll just read it out loud. All right. So this is Stephen Che. So Dave introduced Stephen Che to the group. And this is Stephen Che's first text to the

group. Do you have it, TJ, or should I read it? I don't have it. I don't think you tweeted it. Stephen Che said... No, no, it's up. It's up. Oh, okay. It's in the blog. Shout out barcelsports.com. Oh, yeah. This is Stephen Che's introduction., no, it's up. It's up. Oh, okay. It's in the blog. Shut up, BarstoolSports.com. Oh, yeah. This is Stephen Che's. I already hate it.

Introduction to a bunch of. Hello, gentlemen. Oh, God damn it. I appreciate the trust to run this high profile league. My name is Stephen Che. Oh, Che. You may be familiar with the zero RB strategy, which I invented in 2009. Oh, fuck you.

Anyway, I have been playing fantasy football for 22 years, and I'm honored to be your next commissioner. This is your league. I'm here to help make it fun and ensure it is fair to all participants. He sent this to Mike fucking Trout. That's what they're looking for, right? The best baseball player on planet Earth right now. Tell me Moustakas gave him another zinger, please,

because I'm already rooting for him to win the fucking league. Yeah, Moustakas is the people's champ. He's the people's champ. A couple means two. He's a fast learner. Yeah. Yeah, he's just a media. The kid I grew up with played minor league with him.

He was his best man at his wedding. Stephen Chase literally is fantasy football. Yeah, all right. That story means nothing, Rico. They started razzing me a little bit. Who grew up with you? Oh, they started razzing you? A kid I grew up with.

What did they say? They played through the minor league syndicate with me. Break the razzing. You got razzed? That's a real story. Oh, my God. That is unreal. A photo was taken almost 10 years ago, but I can assure you my stance on bitch-assness

has not changed. None of it will be tolerated. Wait, I've seen this photograph many a time. Is that not Photoshopped? No, that's a real photo. That's the slogan you had on? That's a real shirt you wore to the Grand Canyon. That's your Grand Canyon shirt.

That's my Grand Canyon shirt. We don't know who sent that? That's like the number one family destination. What he's right, though, it takes a unique, can't be a bitch. That's unbelievable. I went up and what did your dude say? What is this? No bitch assness.

Steven. No bitch assness. Right off the grand canyon. Say what you want about me, but I can take a good razzle. Is that like Nike? Is that like a finish line shirt? Steven, you need to keep a journal this next year. Yes.

And like sell it as a movie. Judd Apatow, somebody. I just imagine Steven being like alright we're going to see the Grand Canyon today everyone ready like yup

got my shirt picked out no bitch assness who sent that Jay I don't know so I don't have everybody's number yet so I don't know

was it Trout I think it was one of the three guys that Dave named so it could have been Mike Trout go to snapchat and add you're being so casual Steve I know well because this is the thing Steven and I know Steven so well now he literally knows no one in major league baseball I have heard of Mike Trout I know he's on the cover for a video game he plays the angels so it'd be like

if Aaron Donald sent a picture of you. That'd be crazy. That'd be nuts. Now you're speaking my language. It's even more. It's like Patrick Mahomes. Aaron Donald's obviously an incredible player, but he plays defense. Mike Trout is the best baseball player in the

world. I've been told that. That's wild. I've been told that. Jesus Christ. This is the perfect role. He's not Jesus Christ. This is the perfect role. This is the perfect role for you. It's so unfazed. That's the thing. People were asking me this morning, are you intimidated?

I was like, no, because I have no idea who these people are. Why what? A bunch of non-football playing pussies? Do you respect these people? Yeah, they're at the top of their profession. Do you respect their profession? Can you text them right now and just say, when did you guys realize you weren't going to make the NFL? You should.

They're going to razz you. You've got to razz them. You've got to razz back. Send out ratings graphics. Your backup's here if you want to go eat lunch. Yeah, that works. All right, good show, boys. Yeah, Rico.

Rico, incredible. Yes. Good job, to go eat lunch. Yeah, that works. All right, good show, boys. Yeah, Rico. Rico, incredible. Yes. Oh, good job, Rico. Way to go. Short doses. That's the best way, Rico. That's how it works. Okay, we've left planet Earth, just so you know.

Well, we've just been discussing the fact that Stephen Chay is the commissioner of Mike Trout's Fantasy Football League. Yeah, what a world. Nothing makes sense. Nothing. Nothing makes sense anymore. It kind of inspired me, though. Yeah, what a world. Nothing makes sense. Nothing. Nothing makes sense anymore. It kind of inspired me, though. Like, oh, anything. You can do anything.

Yeah, but it just happened out of dumb luck, though. Right. Steven also, like, this is. We work here. Right, you're right, you're right. But this is going to fuel him so much. I walked by him today. Can you zoom in on my face?

I got to show you the look he gave me. It's going to make you guys want to puke. So he was sitting at his desk, and he looks up, and I'm walking by. I'm just walking by, and he goes like this. I was just like, what the fuck did you just do to me? He's like, what? I had my hands. I think I was typing or maybe using a mouse or something like that,

or maybe on my phone. And then you were walking by. You came into my eyesight. My monitor was facing you, so you came into my line of sight just so hey oh god it's like he's built perfectly for this because he doesn't take damage he's 100 armor at all times and they're not going to be able to get to him and he's gonna he's gonna thrive i really hope there's a huge controversy. Another wrinkle of this is I think Dave must like you a lot.

Yeah, I mean, I think Dave and I have always had a good relationship. We all thought, yeah. No, I don't think Dave hates me. No, he doesn't hate you. They literally were like, we need a robot dork who will follow the rules to a T. And he was like, I got the guy. The premier robot dork who will follow the rules to a T, and he was like, I got the guy. Right. The premier robot dork.

You think your robot dork is good? I got the newest model. All the bells and whistles. We have the robot dork 3000. This is the robot dork they couldn't even dream of in 2005. NASA's been trying for this for years. Elon has dumped billions into trying to figure out a way to make a robot dork like ours. And he's just giggling about this, too.

Like, it's just... That's funny. Were you, like, psyched? It's just guys razzing. Yeah, I was definitely psyched. It was more just like a... I know that it is a huge deal, but I. You had a feeling it was coming?

No, no, no, definitely not at all. It's hard to, because I'm completely unfamiliar with their environment. Yeah, it's not my realm at all. Yeah, but you're the man for this job. I am the man for this job, absolutely. Are you nervous at all? No. No, of course not.

No. Robots don't get nervous. Question? I was saying before, because I don't know all of these. I don't get nervous. I was saying before, I don't follow baseball at all. He doesn't know who any of these people are. He thought Justin Bieber was in this league. It's Shane Bieber who won a Cy Young.

At some point, will you try to tell these guys how to eat pussy? Oh. Steven, you should. You should put that as your Ten Commandments. In your Ten Commandments. Everyone must eat pussy the Steven Che way. No fence painters.

Yeah, no fence painters in this league. Quick, can everyone send me a quick video and just show how they eat pussy? I just want to make sure that we got the right men in this league. Don't forget to use the bottom lip. Okay. Oh. Dice. I don't know if he was talking about his or hers. got the right men in this league. Don't forget to use the bottom lip. Okay. Oh, my God. I don't know if he was talking about his or her.

That just ruined the entire thing. Bottom lip? He's not real life. He's not real life. So weird. People think, people, after the Vince McMahon gif, that was the other part, Kate, that I don't know if you saw. Vince McMahon was basically trending number one trending in Twitter and

Steven used a Vince McMahon gif not realizing the story had just been leaked but he people are like yo I think he's self aware it's like no I don't there's he will never become self that's the thing about robots he will never do this

on purpose people like oh this is shtick. He had to have known. He literally did not know. Vince McMahon, sexual, like, whatever lawsuit that's happening, it's not NFL news. Adam Schefter didn't tweet it. It didn't happen right in front of Stephen Che's face. Correct.

Those three things, if you can't check any of those boxes, Stephen Che has no idea. I don't even know who would tweet Vince McMahon news, but I definitely... The Wall Street Journal tweeted it. You think I follow the Wall Street Journal, bro? Get out of here. Oh no.

Do you follow the Wall Street Journal? I do follow the Wall Street Journal. It was really hard not to see the news almost instantly. It was everywhere. I missed that one. Missed that one. I don't know what else we got to talk about.

Does this mean Fantasy Football Factory is coming back? Yeah, we are going to do it. I'm going to produce it. We're going to do it a lot more. We're going to integrate props in the sportsbook. I'm sure there's going to be some MLB League talk on there. Yeah, you should probably just rename it commissioner chase fantasy football podcast fuck it'll be an awesome podcast yeah so you can have them on this case frank's coming around again

i want to have them back on to catch up with him Today was the day that He couldn't come back on my comeback day Your comeback day and also Stephen Che Commissioner day Because he came in and he just started screaming about the Mets Screaming Part of the schedule in the league And just making fake things up

He's like we have to go play in LA And then Sunday night baseball And then at 1 o'clock the next day we're playing Atlanta in Atlanta and I looked at the schedule and I was just like, no. You called him out and he said, it's not the truth but it sounds like the truth. Yeah, it feels like the truth.

It feels like the truth. And he just won the argument. That is a good comment. It feels like the truth. If you're in the same division, don't you have the same schedule as other teams in your division? It's a different order? That doesn't feel like It feels like the truth. If you're in the same division, don't you have the same schedule as other teams in your division? Yes, correct. Just a different order? Correct.

Okay. That doesn't feel like the truth, though. Fair. Oh, man. I don't know what else. I want to hear about his road trip, though. Yeah, I do. We will have him on.

Oh, actually, I would welcome a smooth ten minutes. Yeah, TJ, can I send you a picture to pull up quick? Oh, yeah. That's fine. No, he's just there. Frank! He's not going to hear that. Definitely can't hear you through.

Try it. There he goes. There he goes off into the world. Good luck, Frank. Marcus Davenport cut his pinky off. Yeah. Until next time. We'll get the tank back on.

Maybe tomorrow. The whirlwind got itself in a big hurt. There's always a Thursday every seven days. It is true. There's Thursdays all the time. Should we spin the wheel? Yeah. Probably should.

Probably should. We prepared for... Is Tommy Pham Asian? Is that Vietnamese? I think it... Half. Really? Like half.

Half. Top. That's outrageous. TJ, can you pull up that picture I just sent you? I got an Italian top half. I got an Italian torso and an Irish leg. Oh, brother. Bad luck.

I emailed it to you. What is this? This was Frank's last raw dog, and he posted last night. I was cracking up at the tags he used. I filled his soda review today. Oh. Let me try. It started off with a Mets rant.

Of course. And then it... Ended with a Mets rant? Oh, ended with a score, but the middle, there was a spill. Tangible. What body part did he get on? Just the table. That's what he calls his stomach.

All dogging. Shot in historic Washington, D.C. Some of the video was shot by Coach Duggs. Just give him the full credit. No, no. Hell no. Wait a minute. Some of the video was shot by Coach Duggs.

Was it a multi-channel shot? Whoa, whoa, whoa. How does that work? Go ahead. Can we see these texts? Yeah. Can we zoom in on these texts? Sports, Florida, D.C.

Barack Obama. George Bush, Washington, hamburger hamburger hot dogs MLK Martin Luther King Howard University Presidents Ben's Chili Bowl Black History Raw Dog and Chili Black Owned Raw Dogging on the Road

Get him in And B-A-R-A-K Obama Just in case I'll call him I want to see what And B-A-R-A-K-O-B-A-N. Just in case. I'll call him. Call him. I want to see what... I want him to tell us which parts were shot by Coach Doug.

We watched the video and edited by... He hits every one of those topics. Yeah. That would be amazing. Yeah. Or like the next hit piece, they search like black history. So if you've ever talked about it, I'm like, yeah, right there. Yeah, what are you talking about?

Howard University. Oh, man. Yeah. He's on his walk right now. I think the weirdest one is all caps hamburger. No. That's not. I don't know.

I think it was all that because he was in D.C. It was probably the place, right? It's probably the place. It's a black owned business. Yeah. I think the only phone he would answer here would be Ubiquette.

I don't think he would answer anybody else. I don't have his phone number. Me neither. We just contact each other via DM. You don't have Frank's phone number? He's never asked for it.

I don't have Frank's number either. Give him my number. Actually, I don't think I do either. I liked cheese being wedged in between two other things. Can we see the video, though? I want to see if we can catch the parts Doug's shot. I don't know.

Oh, there's him. Okay. There is him. Okay. He is right there, front and center. Big git. Huge. Here he is.

Oh, okay. Perfect. Let's get him back on. Oh, here. He can sit here. Hold on. Okay. Let's get him back on. Oh, here. He can sit here. All right. Hold on. Okay.

Brandon, get up. Well, okay. Frank. Frank. Welcome back. Welcome back. How's it going, everybody? Hello.

Come on in. Come on in. As you know, it is Tank Thursday. I told you we'd have you on at the end of the show. We had to have a... Here we go had to have a welcome back Brandon first. Brandon was out for a week and a half. So good to have him back. Yeah, were you?

He's got you beat. A week and a half he was out, Frank. I was out a week and a half. I was on the road for 15 days. Whoa. Okay. So I didn't choose to go. I had to go because I had to plan a funeral.

Yeah, my condolences for that. Thank you very much. That's nice. Appreciate that. Frank, we were just looking. So first of all, how was the trip? The trip was fun. I think I drove Doug's nuts.

No. Yeah. Was he I drove Doug's nuts. No. Was he shooting some video? As soon as Doug's walked in this morning, he said he was trying to kill himself and Frank. It was the most candid Doug's has ever been. I was like, welcome back. He said, I tried to kill myself. Frank pulled the pills and Doug's was like well he slept the

entire time I drove for 40 that's got to be a terrible feeling if you're Doug's. I'm driving and Frank is recharging. You get to your destination, you've got to fully charge Frank. What do you think annoyed him the most? Mets. Yeah. Mets are what you said. Well, basically because the Braves have the easiest schedule in the history of baseball. In fact, this weekend the Chicago Cubs are having Honor Die

Braves weekend, and instead of root, root, root for the Cubbies, it's going to be root, root, root for Atlanta. And at the end of every game, the Cubs are going to hold the Braves up and bow down before them as they lose every game by 20 points. That's a fact. A lot of black history

this week. TJ, can you find just real quick the upcoming MLB schedule? Who's got the toughest remaining schedule? Obviously, it's the Mets. Oh, obviously. I'm sure that we'll back that up. Look who they – while the Braves are winning 14 in a row against the worst teams, including the Oakland Ass – that's their new name, the Oakland Ass, no longer the Oakland A's's because they are ass.

That's right. We got it. Axe fact. Very literal joke there. Meanwhile, the Mets are playing the Dodgers. They got the Astros coming up. They played the Padres, the Angels. They're playing the Brewers.

So this is MLB's strength of schedule remaining. Let's scroll real quick. So Rockies have the hardest schedule remaining. Keep going. Keep going. Oh, they're the Braves, 15. Oh, no. I thought that was the Mets.

It's the Giants. It's only 30. Mets have got to be top. Oh, there they are, 26th easiest schedule. How about we look at who's played the hardest schedule so far? Okay, yeah. I think that has the same thing. All right, here we go.

And Phillies, who are in your division. All right, we're scrolling. We're scrolling. Oh, Fleming. Oh, there they are. Right around league average at 13th. Okay. Right behind the ass.

Yeah. I mean. How about we. This data does not compute. How about we look at the Sanctus schedule in June? Okay. Well, I mean, yeah, you might have a case there. Let's look at it today.

Yeah, yeah. Who are the Braves playing today? They're off. So that's a win. So they're going to get ahead. The Mets are going to lose another half game on their lead. This is September 2007 all over again, and Busteroni said that it was the greatest month in baseball history.

September 2007. Things kept getting worse, huh? Oh, wait, Obama. Let's talk about it. Yeah. We have your raw-dogging most recent episode up. We were just curious about a couple things. What shots did Duggs do?

Only when I'm on camera. Only when you're on camera so no b-roll so you do the b-roll yes wow okay okay so you didn't want to just give him full credit he only shoots me when i'm on camera yeah That actually checks out. And then the tags? What tags? On the blog. You do that yourself? You add the tags at the end of your blogs? No, that's done by Kurt Ward. He's my editor. I'm a good editor.

So he added all those tags? Yes. Oh, those tags at the bottom? I put those in. Yeah. Okay, those tags at the bottom? Yeah. I put those in. Yeah. Hot dogs. Hot dogs. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. MLK. Those guys. Sports, Florida, D.C., cheese, George Bush. Washington hamburger.

How's a hamburger? It was a good hamburger. Okay. Hot dogs, MLK, Martin Luther King, Howard University. Was it on Howard? Yeah, what did you do there? Yes, it is. Okay, all right.

That makes sense. Presidents? Yes, Presidents eat there. Okay. Ben's Chili Bowl? Nothing's wrong. Black history? Yeah.

It's June. It's June. Right. That's not. You're saying black people can't be gay? Is that what you just said, Brandon? I just want to make sure that I have you on your record. If you're searching for the video, you're just like,

I know it came out in June, but I don't know anything else about this video. You know what... Like history. You know what's funny is we did like 16 raw dogs in the 15 days we were traveling. And one of them ended up being in a, I would say, predominantly LGBT neighborhood in Dallas. Hotdogging is dangerous there. I know it might be June, but this strikes me as the neighborhood.

There's the shops around it. The flags and everything, yeah. And the hot dog place we went to was called Hunky's. Maybe that should have been the hint. Oh, no.

So I'm doing the raw dog. So that one, I guess I'll release next week. I'm excited for that. You went to the grassy knoll. Yes, I did.

Any evidence? Did you connect any dots? Oh, obviously that's where the shot came from. Much easier shot. So that had Prince and Barack Obama on it. No Prince tag. Yeah, they have a...

You didn't tag Prince. They have a nice mural. They have a, which one do we call it, a baseball history mural too over there. That's a good B-roll. It is. It is a good B-roll. It is. It is good B-roll. Oh, that bums me out. I just, Frank, you just triggered a memory.

There used to be a place in Boys Town in Chicago called Pie Hole. It was a pizza place. You would have liked it. Answer the phone, Pie Hole, what hole do you want? Oh, nice. Yeah, it was nice. It was a cool little. But, yeah, I really like Ben's Chili Bowl. It's like there's some history to, nice. Yeah, it was nice. It was a cool little... But yeah, I really liked

Ben's Chili Bowl. It's like, there's some history to it, too. Yeah. I've heard of it, yeah. What was your best, what was the best rated

dog out on the trip? Oh, I forgot. Most of it was triples and doubles. There wasn't really... No home runs? There really wasn't a home run.

What about Blooper? I saw you with Blooper. You know I fucking hate that fat fuck. Did you go against the family? Did you go against the family, Frank? I felt violated. Okay, all right.

So he violated you. Yes. Okay. Frank, you're wearing a big hat. The Braves haven't lost a game since you... Wore the Braves hat? The streak started before that. Yeah, but they... It continued. before that. Yeah, but it continued.

Continued. Yeah, but in all fairness, they played the Oakland Ass, the Pittsburgh Pirates, who are probably the worst team in the National League. Wait, so you're saying that the Braves might not be good, they're just playing poor opponents? In the 14-game winning streak? Yeah.

The best team they played is the Arizona Diamondbacks. So they might not be good. Yeah, well, that's the schedule the rest of the season. They have the softest schedule in the history of baseball.

Can we pull that back up, TJ? It's softest. It's soft. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, that's opinion based. Frank, what are you

doing? That is. And yesterday, the Nationals and the Braves walked out together holding a tattered Mets shirt. Yeah. We need Quigs to get that still of you doing that. Oh, yeah.

He already has that. Okay. It's already up. In fact, it was Blooper and Screech, the mascot of the Nationals. Screech is the mascot? Why are mascots drawn to you, it feels like? I don't know. Yeah.

DJ Kitty. DJ Kitty, yeah. But, yeah, Blooper, he came up to me. He had a replica ring on his string, and he was, like, dangling it from me. And then I reached out for it. He pulled it away. Oh, no. He got caught by that prank?

Kept on falling for it. Old ring on his string. Then he threw his hat on me, and the Braves scored a couple runs. He wanted me to high-five, but I did not high-five. All right, thank you, Frank. He's a pervert. He's a pervert and a creep. I mean, the Braves are just killing me.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, even when the Mets are the best team in the National League, the Braves still get everything they want. They get to play Oakland, Pittsburgh, the Colorado Rockies, and the Washington Nationals. And the Washington Nationals decided to – What did you guys listen to in the car? Yeah.

What did you – You and Doug, when you were driving, was it music? Was it podcasts? I would put on like the Sirius XM, 80s channel, 70s channel, and Yacht Rock. Ooh. I would put on the SiriusXM, either the 80s channel, 70s channel, and Yacht Rock. By the end of it, I think Doug just was going nuts with that. He doesn't like Yacht Rock? You know what it is? They play the same songs over and over again.

In 15 days of it, it gets a little monotonous. So, Frank, knowing the Braves have won 14 straight, in this room, would you say you've had the worst last two weeks? No. Okay, wow. I've got no relief. It's like you stopped at Kate. Kate's a woman.

Oh, every week is bad for her. Your eyes didn't get to me. They really didn't. Why'd they stop at Kate? No, I didn't stop at Kate. I looked at that direction, and I got to see Brandon as well. Okay, all right. I'd say he probably had the worst two weeks.

It's probably Vince McMahon. Oh. Oh. I mean, he might have it coming. He's still got a fan in the booth, so there's one. I mean, is AEW going to become the top wrestling association now? No, nothing's going to happen. Here's the thing about Vince.

That story that came out about him is probably not even top ten worst things he's done this year. So, he'll be fine. True. So, you know, it's just kind of. Brandon, was that other guy? You know who I met on the road? Can you shut up, Steven, please? Who did you meet?

The mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee. Aiden. Aiden. Yes. I took a picture withne. Ane. Yes. Took a picture with him. And Jacobs. Yes. Shockingly small guy when you take a picture with him.

Really? Well, he wasn't the tallest guy I met on a trip. He was the tallest guy you met. Seems like a leading guy. Don't give it away. Don't give it away. Save that. I'm going to go ahead and bite.

To be revealed at a later date. Oh! Hey, I knew it. Motherfucker. Son of a bitch. You rock, Frank. You're a fuck. You know that? God damn it.

You got us good. I'll answer it for $35 on Cameo. This is, Frank, this broke my heart. I'm not going to lie. This picture broke my heart. It broke my heart. Just a little bit. The hat looks good on you, though.

It does. It fits well. It looks too deep. I was not a willing participant. Okay. I feel better knowing that you didn't consent. You were basically... I mean, you're... You were hat-raped.

Your thumb is up. You have... Wait, that's actually on him? It's a skewed thumb. I thought it was photoshopped. Is that photoshopped? I thought it was photoshopped. No.

That's real? Blooper's hat? I thought you weren't... Oh, it's... It is Blooper's hat. You're wearing Blooper's hat? I thought they photoshopped a Braves hat on. He put it on top of me.

And you couldn't take it off. Take it off. That's not a thumbs up. That's skewed. That's not a photoshop? No, that's actually Frank being held hostage. You can see the thumb. It's sideways.

He's saying, please come help. Yeah, and there were kids around, so I couldn't do anything to blooper. Yeah, right. But if there were. What are you going to do? That motherfucker would be. You were going to make him bite the curb? It would be a different story. Yeah, he'd be if it weren't, if it weren't, what are you going to do? That motherfucker would be... You were going to make him bite the curb?

It would be a different story. Yeah, he'd be... Like American History X, yeah. He'd be in raw dogging, if you know what I mean. Yeah. I hate the Braves so much. I would root for the Yankees

in a World Series against them. Wow. And I have rooted for the Yankees twice against the Braves. The Braves are the team I hate the most in baseball. Frank, now this video, you were. In danger.

Yeah, and this is what, 90? I don't know how much. It wasn't 90, but it might have been like a soft 70. Soft 70. We're still fucking. Yeah. Had some bat speed there. Bam.

Hell yes. Fuck yeah. Sounds like you had an incredible two weeks. Yeah, it was. It was. I was burying my fucking dad I had to see a lot of people that he owed a lot of money to This has been a very costly couple of weeks

At the Braves They have won 14 in a row By the way I did go raw dogging. With who? In a town called Brandon, Mississippi. Very nice place. Is that your town?

It's just a town. It's named after some governor from the 1800s. I'm sure he was a good guy. Brandon from Mississippi in the 1800s. Oh, man. He's probably a fucking cool-ass dude. Cool-ass dude. Zara, you want to vouch for him?

You know, now there's only 14 states I've never been to. And I did you the service of tiering them based on visitability. Well, I've now gone to more states since then. Okay. Did you check out Kyle's response? Yes, I did. What are the 14 states? Real quick. Alaska, Hawaii.

Ah Frank what are you doing July? Or a week off? Um I'm gonna I'm going to probably be going to the four Hall of Fames. All of them? Four Hall of Fames? Yes. Where's the Hockey Hall of Fame?

Canada. I've never been to Canada. I'd like to get you in that airport. See if we can get you in a situation like that. Ian, you should drive the Southwest one time and see the national parks, knock off those states. That would be fun. I'd also like to go back to Yellowstone. I could say hi to my parents.

It's flooding now, and the homes are getting ravaged. 10,000 cattle just died in Kansas from overheating. It's a mess. It's beautiful. Frank, where are you going with this? We're Hall of Fames. Abe's coming. Oh.

Your godbrother. Hell yes. No, your godcousin. No, your godbrother. Godcousin. Godbrother. Godbrother. I thought it was god.

Godbrother. Job dog. That'll be fun. All right, let's spin the wheel and end the show Frank it's good that you're back There is definitely a presence that Is lost when you're here Also just That's it right there

Oh my god Fuck yes I want the shirt Not to give away everything for Idol because we want to we want to keep a lot of things under wraps

and surprise the contestants but I'll just say this one on Wednesday it's full barstool immersion day so there's different challenges they have to do and one of them Frank the New York Mets play at 220

that day so they're going to have to do a stream with you go easy on them brother The New York Mets play at 220 that day, so they're going to have to do a stream with you. No easy on them, brother. Yeah, yeah. So good luck to them. Imagine if they just all were like, no, we don't want this job.

You know what else we did? We did some minor league baseball stadiums. I think my favorite place, even though it was kind of hot and sweltering there, was a place in Arcadia, Oklahoma called Pops. It had 600 types of sodas and sadly I couldn't bring them. Oh, that's where the picture was from. I saw that great picture. That was Arkansas, wasn't it? No. Which one?

All the soda pictures? I guess there's been a lot of soda pictures. There's like a wall of sodas. Also, it's Uranus. I saw that. What was that? Was it barbecue? It's a place where they have fudge, so you can get fudge from Uranus.

Oh, yeah, it makes sense. It's like a roadside curiosity in Missouri. And we wanted to play mini golf there, but the mini golf was closed. It went everywhere. Jesus Christ. You know where I was? At a goddamn cemetery. There in a six-foot hole putting a meth head in it.

That's what I did. I love you, Brandon. Thank you, Owen. I think we all do. Thank you, Owen. I think we all do. Thank you, Owen. Is there a little bit, though? I mean, he's back with his people, the worms. Oh, man.

Jesus Christ. Oh, my God. Even I thought about not saying that one. I ain't cosigning that one. I am. Big stab. That was objectively funny. I am. Big stamp. That was objectively funny. Funny joke.

It is. Also, this is, you know, I've been in contact with Brandon. I do feel very bad. I've shown my remorse. You were first on the text list. I was. That's such bullshit. I didn't care about you.

I texted him. It was really not fair. But I was also, I mean, I was told before I was really not fair. But I was also. I was told before I was part of the grieving process. I lit a candle. Who was second? Nick was second.

I went to the USFL games. We're done with that. Let's do the wheel. Let's do the wheel. That was perfect. Your comedic timing is so perfect, Frank, and you don't even know it. Jesus Christ. Go to birddogs.com, enter promo code yak,

What a great show this has been. guys reset it yeah we had another reset people were not happy also brandon you're going to be very upset about a couple additions on the wheel what okay i don't want to do okay is it hot chip and double ritz

yeah yeah i drink milk yeah double ritz is the thing that you described the other day. Yeah, and Hot Chip is the next punishment wheel. Remember when this just started out as a wet wheel and that was enough for us? Not about us. We can't even get wet anymore. Hot Chip has arrived, by the way. It's on my desk. It will ruin someone's day.

So what do you... You just have to eat it at the beginning of the show? Of the next show. If Hotship gets taken, we'll decide who has to do it. And then the next show, that person either can quit Barstool or show up and do the Hotship. Bye. I would lean towards quitting Barstool. Yeah, I know.

You're not a... I'm not a spicy guy. He's not a spice guy. He's not a spice guy. He's not a spice guy. All right. Frank, I'm seriously driving around the Southwest that week if you want to come. What week? That week we have off in July.

Like I said, I'm going to do Hall of Fames. Yeah, four Hall of Fames. Come on. I could probably do that as well. Sorry, Owen. One day. One day. That would be nice.

That would be nice. What day is sport? I think I drove Doug nuts enough that he doesn't want to go to the Mets game on Saturday. Oh, yeah. He's just a break. We should probably check on Doug. Sick of it. Wellness check.

I imagine him playing in bed going, after two weeks of it, you're going, the horror. The horror. The horror. The horror. See everyone tomorrow. Good yak. Great yak. He didn't spin the wheel.

Great yak. Yeah, we did. It was dry. It went on dry? Dry, yeah. You good? You okay? I'm not okay.
