00:00 All right, the rundown, the 26 of September, Jeff D. Lowe, two champions of the world,
00:12 trivia champions, also, among other things, Kirk, mini golf as well, potentially maybe
00:18 the Ryder Cup tune into the Ryder Cup all week long at 2 p.m. Eastern on the Barstool
00:22 YouTube. Enrico Bosco, also a champion. How's it going, guys? Oh, good. Very good. Very
00:26 good. Good. I just got the notification that this computer I'm on might die. So this will
00:33 be a real this will be a hectic Bosco moment. And while Rico's figuring that out, maybe
00:40 need some qualities. Maybe Rico got a little more rest. He beat a fee to remember the charger.
00:43 There he goes. A mattress for mattress would have helped that out. Help you feel restored.
00:49 Function to your best mattress. I'm here to help you if you're trying to look for the
00:52 right mattress. There's sleep experts receive over 200 hours of sleep training. Help you
00:56 match with the right mattress, bedding, accessories, all that and more. I moved recently, got an
01:00 air mattress from mattress from fantastic low price guarantee, confident that you'll
01:05 find the perfect mattress at the best price. You're not totally satisfied after one hundred
01:08 twenty nights. Get a new one from them. They'll pay you with a new one. Visit your store near
01:13 you or go to mattress firm mattress and may TTR ESS firm dot com. The right mattress matters.
01:20 Firm will find yours a bunch to get to as Rico. Oh, there we go. We good. We good. Bosco.
01:30 It's going to die. But yeah, talk quick, I guess. Dictator. Tell us what to do. Tell
01:36 us what to do. Dictator. All right. All right. Relax. I mean, like, you know. What is what
01:43 is your problem now? One second, Rico, before you go any further, I just did a look like
01:47 eight months ago. One guy tweeted he doesn't like when Jeff hosts a rundown. So he's trying
01:50 to do it. We're going to turn the run down. It was it was it was more than four people.
01:55 We're going to turn it. We're going to turn out with a definitely completely change a
01:57 rundown right in the middle of the entire force. We had the dozen once you won tournament.
02:02 We did change the tournament. We changed the tournament. When did you turn midterm? Midterm?
02:06 Yeah, midterm. It for everybody. Well, no shit. Yeah. For everybody. But still, it's
02:11 changed midterm. And fan fan said it's not like the normal dozen. They want to be able
02:14 to, you know, play along with the question. I think that's a very fair critique. It was
02:17 a it was what I should have done from the first place. I'm known to change. I change
02:22 it. The next exhibition, it was a fun exhibition game. People over to our YouTube page for
02:25 the real thing kicks off. You know, you're still up to your title defense. Kirk was,
02:30 yes, eliminated by Frank. I did I we found it. I gave you I even gave you an answer you
02:35 should have gotten fair and square. Frank gave me fair and square, but I don't like
02:39 changing stuff. Fair. No, I mean, the couple's question was wild, but that's fine. Evens
02:45 out the couple's was. But I need to know. So I retired them unretired today. I need
02:50 to know before we get to all the stories of the day, the rhetoric, whatever you guys want
02:53 to talk about. Is Rico Bosco actually retiring? But I need to find because now, Jeff, you
02:59 know, we're not. Yeah, this. Yeah. Yeah. You know, people are salespeople are all on top
03:04 of the doing a great job. We need to know before we dot the I's and cross the T's. Do
03:08 I actually need to find a team with me and Quigley or is Rico Bosco back on team in the
03:12 hand? First match of the season. I don't I got to tell ZD this is going to be ZD against
03:17 team in hand. Dave, Eddie Clem against Kirk Quigley's and. Well, in person, it's not in
03:25 person, it was it's not it's not an in-person event. That's that's it's not. I won't. I
03:30 won't let the Patriots win and they don't play. They don't host the game the next year.
03:35 I would have. You don't think I'd want that shit in Boston. It's not like relax, Jeff.
03:39 Jeff. Jeff made it clear he doesn't want us to host the defendants. There's another rule.
03:43 It's not nothing. Nothing gets the crowd going like Zoom, Jeffy boy. So it is what it is.
03:48 No, no. See now. But now this this is like this is like going after the mean girls about
03:52 their content. So apparently it's you know, everyone's up. I hope that everyone's up in
03:56 arms and that happens. Jesus. We're good. I got charged. All right. We can we can speak
04:02 freely. I was concerned. I was I was I you don't want me smashing things in Dave's office.
04:09 Yeah, listen, I mean, you tried to break up the team when you change the format. You know,
04:13 I said it, though. I don't I don't know. This game gave me everything I could. If you want
04:17 to retire, I don't use the notion. I don't like this the second or third time you said
04:21 it where it's like, I want my own team. I never wanted. No, you just said I didn't say
04:25 that you brought that up on your own, which I find interesting. No, no, no, no, no, no,
04:29 no, no, no, no. Hey, when. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
04:33 whoa. Take it easy. Fair enough. Easy. When when did I bring it up on my own that I wanted
04:38 my own team? That's been a narrative that is another dictator. Big Cat D might be something
04:44 with the D's. I'm saying is if you want to retire, you've earned it. You won a championship.
04:50 Another D Durham. You're a big part of that. I thank you for that. I shake hands. We'll
04:54 always be friends. You'll always be a soldier, a loyal. I'd even bump you up, I think. Well,
04:59 in retirement. But if you are retired, that's great. I have no problem. We love you, but
05:04 we need to know. I mean, we're like I got to find a free agent. You're putting me you're
05:08 putting me in a terrible spot. It's like when who the hell read to somebody retired late
05:12 at one point. Was it Jordan? Somebody I forget after a draft or whatever. And the team was
05:17 hams. I need to know. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how much higher I can get, but
05:23 I can't. Is there a commissioner? Nothing. I can't. I can't. Commissioner of this league.
05:29 I work. Yeah, I work. I work for you. So you know what? I hate the guy. But to quote Drake
05:38 back to back, I'm back. All right. He's back. He made a hand officially back in the saddle.
05:45 How many teams in history have repeated his champions of the dozen? It's never happened.
05:49 Rico, three experts are on a three. Pete, no. Oh, that's true. Yeah, the experts always
05:55 win. That's true. Good point, Dave. By the way, Brandon, PFT and friend to an extent,
06:00 though mostly Brandon, because he's in such a negative heat. Brandon said he would like
06:05 if someone else became the meme character of the team.
06:08 He's like, because we just get to the mountaintop every year. Then it just ends with me being
06:11 just humiliated in front of everybody. How can they say mountaintop? Only three of us
06:17 have been to the mountaintop. Yeah, but then you've knocked them down. OK, well, we can
06:21 change up the analogy there. Yeah, you the two of you are are two of eight active people
06:26 in the dozen to win a title. Obviously, Coley no longer here. Mincy's back. So was seven.
06:30 Now it's back to eight minutes. When is the we flirted it? When is the ring ceremony?
06:34 When is the team dinner like watching? Yeah, I mean, I get it. Once I hire producer, that'll
06:40 be one of his first or their first priority. I will say more men, fewer men. Oh, no. More
06:46 men have walked on the moon than have won a dozen trivia time. Drew, keep that. That's
06:51 part of it, too. Like, you know, I you know, the offseason, I'm not looking for more money.
06:55 I'm not looking for the ball more. I just want the dinner. I want to hang out with the
06:58 guys and relish in the championship. Oh, I mean, there's nothing more exciting having
07:02 dinner with Quigley. I always say that great electric personalities got to keep this team
07:06 together. I'm saying, yeah, absolutely. And Quigley's hilarious. He is on Twitter, not
07:12 in person. Yeah. Yeah. The dozen regular season, the the 16 teams we dropped this year, it's
07:18 less teams this year. So the bigger teams are going to play more. That will start in
07:22 November. But starting in October, there is a play in tournament Chicago. They added keys
07:27 to some other teams. You're going to macro dosing who you guys be. Marty Mush as a team
07:30 with Joey Chestnut and NHL Ironman Keith Yandle. So it's a real mixed bag of people for those
07:37 teams will get into the league. Doesn't in November sports. Let's just I don't want to
07:42 talk about them. Can we can we agree the Mac Jones thing is ridiculous and there's no need
07:46 to touch on that topic. The video is dumb. I mean, there's nothing there. Nothing. I
07:50 mean, if we did it great. But I didn't actually I kind of want to question is is the video.
07:55 So there was another angle that was posted of you can see he does kind of do this. What
07:59 was the original video from Sauce Gardner, the least incriminating video ever posted
08:03 on social media? It was a reporter that used to be the ESPN's athletic now. Diana Rossini
08:09 Rossini. She's acting like this is like the freaking Kennedy assassination. Like there's
08:13 nothing nothing there. Nothing. Where do you guys stand on? Steven Shea had had an insane
08:20 comment on the live stream last night where he said person he is. He is an insane person.
08:26 He said he said, is it I'm misquoting him a little bit here. Basically, it was like
08:31 for the betterment of the people. Is it OK to say we can take out one guy as in Jalen
08:35 Hurts so they never do that sneak again? Like, do you I like the sneak. I think more teams
08:40 figure out a way to do it. I have no problem. Chase Chase so much hate that he wishes injury
08:45 upon a star quarterback. I think you can only root for injuries privately. Right. It's like,
08:51 you know, you're in front of your TV, like save it. I'm in my own basement. I'm yelling
08:55 and screaming like you can scream, tear out his ACL, put him in the hospital. When you
09:00 get on the streams, a little decorum, as Kirkwood know, as one of the premier gambling guys
09:04 at this company with that golf show, you know, you don't root for torn ACLs on a live stream.
09:09 Well, I'm getting ready if we if I am part of the surviving bar. So if I get to do the
09:14 streaming of these playoff games, these football games are practicing. I'm actually practicing
09:17 studio right now. So it's. Can we get a let's go? Let's go. Oh, what the fuck? Yeah, I'm
09:29 ready. I think I'm ready. I think, yeah, I should be fine. I heard you're not doing the
09:34 Kirk Minahan show during surrounding Barstow because of baseball playoffs. You're going
09:38 to be. Yeah, that's only fair. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's too focused. Speaking
09:43 of golf, though, so check out the Ryder Cup writer like blogger writer Rico is in the
09:48 bag for Kirk Kirk. Part of that coming to a close from what I know has a really great
09:54 ending that last couple of days here, 2 p.m. Barstow YouTube, the regular Ryder Cup, the
09:59 professionals starts this week. It is my I'm an Olympics person is my second favorite sporting
10:06 event ever. I'm obsessed with the Ryder Cup. Kirk, that's the first first time we're really
10:13 friendly here. Well, during the Ryder Cup, you're a big fan as well. Do we think the
10:17 USA can break this this 30 year drought of not winning in Europe? I do not. I've been
10:22 picking Europe all year and I actually think. I was saying before the show I should have
10:27 bet them and they were like plus 180 plus 190. Now it's almost even. I would pick Europe
10:31 this year if it was in the US. I just think they're a better team, especially with Ludwig
10:36 now, who is a star. He's going to play with it looks like he's repaired with Hoblin. They're
10:40 going to play together four times like Europe one through eight now has no weaknesses. We're
10:45 in the past, you know, in the first two days and there's eight guys out.
10:48 And the guy is not great. They're just as strong. So like, yeah, I think they're going
10:52 to win and I think they're going to win. I think it'll be over like mid Sunday morning
10:58 when you're watching it here. I think they went by like three four points. There was
11:02 that would be that'd be there. There's few advantages in sports quite like Europe in
11:08 Europe for the right like like I never get that feel when it's here. There was that one
11:12 year in Valhalla where you felt like but even then it's just like it felt like they just
11:16 beat up. There was a better squad. But there's just something it's it's I almost hate listening
11:22 to it. It's like it's like as an American like fuck man, it's getting embarrassed over
11:27 there. I don't know. I don't I look through our own Danny Rap, your good friend Danny
11:31 Rap. He did a ranking of the of all 24 players and I read through this morning and I didn't
11:38 think they were to win to begin with. And I read it like the more I'm reading this,
11:41 I don't think they fucking stand a chance.
11:42 And the best player in the world to now have is the best player in the world right now.
11:46 Rama is obviously up there at McElroy. They have three of the four or five best players
11:49 in the world in the US best player by a lot of Sheffler and he's also the worst putter
11:55 on the planet right now. Like he's going you've got a different punty coach. He flew in from
11:58 there. He's a mess. Yeah, that's he was wasn't he wouldn't they have the picture and getting
12:03 lessons yesterday like the opening series. Yeah, like the best non-tiger ball striking
12:08 season in like 40 years this year. Like if he had putted like the number was if he had
12:12 an average putting your in Torrey, he would have won like nine times. Then you want twice.
12:17 So I mean look if he turns it around great, but I just think but it's going to be the
12:21 only thing I hate about it. It's just the reality of situations. Most people like I
12:25 think it starts at like 2 on Friday and Saturday to it. I'll be up watching it. But I mean
12:31 it does suck if you live in the West Coast. Well, Jeff, you're I looked I was looking
12:36 at times yesterday. It's going to be 1030 the night before for you tomorrow night Thursday.
12:39 It starts to put that in the morning like when a lot of the big stuff ends. It's kind
12:42 of a bummer a single star for you. I think it like 1 a.m. on Sunday. So yeah, that's
12:47 snakes ratings wise. But yeah, I'm just happy Europe doesn't have fucking the fat slob Colin
12:52 Montgomery as like an honorary captain because I grew up hating him for my grandfather and
12:56 my dad. But the question I'll ask this obviously I'm rooting for more a cow a shepherd. I bet
13:02 on all those guys. So I'm rooting for the US. The one question I have maybe it says
13:07 a golf simp or a guy who just loves outings. Is there any way or would it be fun for this
13:14 to be a scram if there was a scramble at any point in this thing? Like why don't we get
13:19 four guys who maybe wouldn't have made the cut and it's worth a point. So like how many
13:24 guys are on team two, four, six, eight, 12 each, 12 each put 13 through 16 and you go
13:29 out as a foursome and there goes out of the foursome and it's worth one point and we get
13:33 to watch it whether it's cut ins. I think there's something fun about watching guys
13:37 go maybe minus 22 on an 18 hole scramble. Maybe that's just a simple minded type of
13:44 take but I'm interested as both of your opinions.
13:46 Jeff, go ahead. I think I love the rider again. I'm a traditional as the rider cup. I think
13:53 for things like the writer cup like I've done events with friends where it's like a yearly
13:57 writer cup style. We abandoned alternate shot because if you don't have evened up panty,
14:02 it's a fucking nightmare. You'll see over the next three days. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's
14:07 ours is different because it's, you know, it's comedy centric, but if it's if you're
14:10 not playing the cameras and for laughs, it's a disaster. I think if they did that though,
14:13 it would, I think you need to add a day. It'd be like Thursday scramble day. I like, I wouldn't
14:17 replace any of the current format. They should do what they should do. Rico is they should
14:22 do like a Thursday, almost like a legend scramble where you have like in like Freddie and whoever
14:29 yes, spur. Yeah. You're a part of it. All these guys and have them do some sort of scramble
14:34 for that's actually not bad. I think within the competition, probably too goofy for the
14:38 rider cup for the president's cup. Yeah. I'm over the president's cup. Can anybody really
14:42 win it? They're probably gonna, cause it's all matched. So like, I guess you're having
14:47 scrambles, but I guess if you go total score, like what are we really looking at? They're
14:50 probably, it'd have to be, it'd definitely be two man. Four man scramble would be the
14:53 day. That's what makes it fun. I mean, they're throwing darts at going Eagles on par fours.
14:58 It would only, it'd have to be a two man thing for sure. I mean, a four man scramble would,
15:03 would shoot, would actually shoot like 52 or 50. That's fun to me though. That's good
15:10 to watch. Yeah. They should. Yeah. Yeah. I get that. Um, I like that though. The legends,
15:15 maybe the legend scramble is a good way to like, to do that. Yeah. The other, the other,
15:20 the last has fun with the part three. They let the kids play like, yeah, I love that.
15:24 I love that. Yeah. Um, running around the greens. I don't love that, but yeah, we'll
15:28 see. Maybe you have, they can pull one out. Would, would end a long drought. I also last
15:32 note of that. I, I saw a tweet. It might've been from our guy, Danny rap again. He talked
15:36 about how like militaristic, like Zach Johnson, he's like locked out of that. That always
15:41 worries me. That just gets me. Once you do that, you're going to lose. You can't. Yeah.
15:44 That's that's never, that's, that's the kiss of death of the writer. I respect Zach Johnson's
15:51 many tours overseas in his life as a military guy. But you know, uh, yeah, when they get
15:57 into that stuff, it's like, shut, just shut up. Like play, just play. I saw even like
16:01 Sam Burns is like shaved his head with USA. It's like, if you lose, you're like such an
16:05 idiot. What can you do? Have we seen the outfits? Cause there's been some iconic outfits over
16:10 the years. True, true. I haven't, no, I haven't seen it yet. Do we know what they are? Uh,
16:15 no, no, I did see a couple. They seem fine. Yeah. Nothing like the 99 in Brookline, like
16:20 the, the crazy shirts. Right. I haven't seen those. I like them too. Oh yeah. I mean, they
16:26 obviously have a different, if they had had gotten the piss beat out of them and not come
16:30 back from that, those would have obviously significant. That is true. Here's the, here's
16:35 the annoying thing. Uh, is it going to be raining over there? Is it going to be cold?
16:39 Am I going to be watching this Europe shit that I watched? Okay. I was, I was looking
16:42 last night. I hate the British open. It's fucking raining. It's gray. It's one in the
16:46 morning. This is in Rome though too. It's not, you know, wet. Yeah. Yeah. Um, go USA.
16:56 Uh, Kirk, I know people call you Kirk prime. You're such a big Dion guy. Um, one second.
17:02 I just want to say when I wake up every morning, I thank him. I think of him. He's there. He
17:07 shines down on me. He died for me and he lives again for me. Praise him. Go ahead. Well,
17:13 this actually surprised you. I did more viewers for the ad. Maybe it didn't. Maybe now I'm
17:18 saying out loud more viewers for Colorado, Oregon in the blowout. Then, um, that's gonna,
17:24 that's, that's going to catch a headline. It's Saturday night. Everybody's Saturday
17:28 night has always been dead for TV. Yes, it has. Jeff always been dead for TV, Ohio state
17:34 in Michigan and even my school, your favorite school, Penn state, the big, the premier big
17:39 10 schools, they, and, and Notre Dame, they don't get outrated. That is not a normal thing
17:44 at all. That's not normal. And prime time. Yeah. That's not normal whatsoever. Michigan,
17:51 Ohio state, Penn state, Notre Dame. Those like that, like a couple of the SC teams are
17:55 in there as well, obviously, but I wasn't surprised though. I wasn't surprised to see
17:58 it. Yeah. The hype has been so crazy. Yeah. I mean like, you know, the next one, probably
18:02 not so much, but this was like sort of the story of the country for, and then there were
18:05 people like me who also just tuned in rooting for him to get his brains beaten. So, you
18:11 know, there was that crowd too. So I, yeah, it doesn't, it doesn't show. Yeah. What were
18:14 the numbers? Uh, Colorado game average 5.2, uh, 10 million viewers. Uh, Notre Dame, Ohio
18:21 state was 5.19.98. Obviously a significant, I mean, that game was over from the gun, Colorado,
18:27 Oregon, things to pass the time during barstool survivor, uh, doing the old Mike and the Mad
18:35 dog guess the ratings maybe on Monday. Oh, uh, let me tell you something, Mikey, right
18:40 now, four o'clock, uh, Yankees, white socks, Jimmy key pitched, uh, and there was a rain
18:44 delay. I'm going to say, uh, 11, six local 12, four national. Good boy, Mikey. Good boy.
18:51 Close. Yeah. Good boy, Mikey. Good boy. We can do that. Yeah. Uh, 24.3 million viewers,
18:57 for example, for Kansas city, Chicago. I mean, the NFL is just, it's stupid. NFL is stupid.
19:02 It's so it's insane. Um, yeah. Surviving bar. So you're gonna be doing, there'd be a lot
19:07 of stuff going on in the evenings after like those days rap. I I've, I've thrown my hat
19:12 in the ring to be the temporary Kirk Minahan show producer. I hope so. Yeah. Yeah. Rico
19:16 will be on there as well. Yeah. We're, we're going to have a good time. Do you have, I
19:20 mean, I don't want to talk. I, I don't even like that. I even mildly answered on radio
19:23 because I'm hosting. I'm like, I know, I know everything I'm helping produce. I know the
19:27 challenges, but so I won't give like a favorite pick. I do think there's some people who kind
19:30 of, they dip over into other areas. Like I think gas kind of dips over into everyone
19:35 fights. I think those people may have like a headstart at the top, but I think it's very
19:39 even do you guys have a, any, a strategy that you talked at all? Like, I don't know. I would
19:45 say my strategy, I'm not going to give anything away, but I am sort of the less is more school
19:49 on this one. I think, I think the guy who comes in day one guns blazing is just looking
19:55 at his head chopped off. That is the one thing I said. I said, the one thing I will say is
19:59 I do think the first person out is the person who goes the hardest on day one.
20:03 Or unless everyone else has got together as somebody, they feel like they need to target
20:06 and get rid of, I don't know. Could be, I don't know if that's, I have no idea if it's
20:10 me nobody's told me, so I don't know, but yeah, I'm going to go in and kind of get a
20:14 feel for the room. These are not, these are not with all due respect to everyone here.
20:19 These are not intellectual giants. So, you know, I have a feeling I'll be able to ascertain
20:24 where everybody's coming from, but there's also some people in there that know how to
20:27 play the game really, really well. So I'm just, I think I would put myself in the observer
20:32 category for the first, if I could stick around for the first 36 hours.
20:36 There's there's also to this Rico, I want your thoughts on this for those wondering
20:40 the schedule for how we're filming it on the first Sunday of surviving barstool, they're
20:44 going to arrive. We're going to tell them what's going on. There's going to be a little
20:47 strategy, a little discussion, then a challenge. And then we're breaking for like five and
20:51 a half hours to watch the NFL.
20:54 Yeah. People can stay right. People can still strategize. So my, my thing is, there's me
20:59 someone who goes way too hard while people are, you know, they're getting their bets
21:01 and they're watching the NFL. That person is the one I think they're going to go way
21:05 too aggressive. I have a couple of, I have a couple of people in mind, but yeah. Yeah.
21:10 Yeah. That's I think Rico's put this way. If I don't win, uh, I want Rico to win. Like
21:15 I'm just, you know, he's, he's my, he's my brother. He's my soul. I followed this man
21:21 through, uh, through guidance, uh, as a leader and it's been the road back. So, you know,
21:26 we started the segments religiously, you know, I know people don't want me talking religion,
21:30 but you believe in a higher power.
21:31 Kirk's been the higher power. So, you know, follow that as a may, uh, I'm going to follow
21:35 his lead and we'll see where we go. Maybe we're sitting on the stump next to each other
21:39 in the final two.
21:40 All I know is there may be a moment in this Jeff, I don't want to give anything away where
21:43 Rico will have to choose between his two skips. I would imagine that that is probably a certainty.
21:49 Kirk, I don't know if you're new here. I can see that happy. The first minute I was
21:54 giving a tease out Rico. I understand how the situation works, but I'm just saying,
21:58 I think there might be a third member, a high ranking member compared to maybe Silvio.
22:05 Who's now starting his own crew in a city that rhymes with a smog. Oh, and he might
22:11 be putting your feet to the fire even more of which skip I choose there. You know what
22:17 I mean? Yeah. Well, again, I mean, we need to go to war with cities. We'll go to war
22:19 with cities. That's fine. The only question I did have, do you get any kind of excused
22:22 absences? See, I'm not taking one, but it's brunch day for gas, like in the city with
22:28 the models. So like, does he get, if anyone wants their three hours, I will give mine
22:33 gas can actually have six because we know he's not watching Patriots games till the
22:37 playoffs, you know, and he puts on the one Jersey of a guy he's never heard of.
22:41 So if we get excused absences, I would like gas to go get the mimosas and get boozed up,
22:46 you know, and do what he does. I'm this. I've again, I've I love my show. I love the dozen.
22:53 I love it. I love all the other stuff I thought I love for bars with America. There is nothing
22:57 I've been so excited for this company like this. This upcoming show was Robbie Barstool
23:02 is this is going to be a lot of big personalities. This is going to be a war, a flat out. The
23:09 question is like, I'm willing to go all the way. Like there are people who I am friends
23:13 with who I'm willing to ruin friendships with permanently. Look, I have a new four-year
23:18 contract. So what do I care? I'm willing to ruin. I'm not counting Rico by the way, is
23:23 not one of those people to be very clear. He's figured as much. Yeah. But there are
23:26 guys where I'm just like, look, we need to go to war. We'll go, we'll go to mattresses.
23:30 No problem. Are they willing to go to the mat? We're going to, we're going to find out.
23:33 We're going to find, it's not going to be like that pathetic rapport, a Hank golf match
23:39 with Hank, with Jerry and Francis fist bumping each other and saying, Oh, gentlemen's rules.
23:45 And this is a lot of fun. Like none of that, none of that bullshit. This is going to be
23:49 ugly. Ugly. Does everybody get a vote at the end? Um, you don't have to give it away. You
24:00 don't have to give any away. Don't give anything away. It'll be, uh, yeah, I'll, I'll, I'll
24:05 avoid saying, I think all that's going to be pretty public before it all starts. Like
24:08 we're not going to be, we're not gonna be too secret about a bunch of things. Cause
24:11 we kind of want like a really pretty traditional straight game play. Um, it's not going to
24:15 be as like people, there are 14 people eliminated over the course of five filming days. It's
24:19 not going to be as wacky as people think. Um, like there's, it's, it's going to be packed.
24:23 Like it's a lot of stuff. Yeah. 14 wrinkle. I thought it was 12. The 14 is a new wrinkle
24:28 as well too. So as of when a couple of days ago, right? Yeah. Still. But I mean, Oh, I
24:34 thought you meant like just now I'd thought you maybe didn't know that until I just said
24:37 that. Yeah. Nate and Jersey, Jerry added to the cast. Um, last thing here, uh, before
24:43 we wrap up, was Jerry walking around the kitchen asking like, Hey, you took my spot or I want
24:48 to be in as well to the person in New York who was doing that. Or the Jerry just happened
24:54 to get added by his own thing. Like that's cool. But did Jerry also campaign? Cause there
24:59 was somebody campaigning in New York. This is why I'm here. This is why I want to do
25:02 this. I like this. This is, this is already like you already, I want to be in the game
25:10 starts. The game starts in, uh, let's see here. 10 days and Rico already has two targets.
25:16 There's already, there's already two circles. The game has already started. Who's the second
25:22 one? Natan gas. He made a brunch joke. And then he just made a Nate joke. That was a
25:26 Jerry joke. Wasn't it? No, no, absolutely not. Jerry. No, I didn't think so. Okay. This
25:32 is, this is going to be, it's going to be something. I it's just, it's, it's truly member
25:38 that. And then we'll wrap it. Remember the, the tweet that Kevin put out about like the
25:42 powder keg for the awards and it being fine. This show is the powder. It's already been
25:48 lit. The fuse has been lit. Like I, it's starting to really, the more you survive in this thing,
25:53 like, you know, day three and I love the guy, but I'm going to be sleeping on the floor
25:57 next to Rico and Nate. Like, you're not going to be in a good mood. Like, and it's just
26:01 going to make sure you get a room. I'm not going to, I have night terrors and I walk
26:06 and I get this calf.
26:07 But we're brothers. I want to go through that with you. That's fine. I don't want to, I
26:12 think I should, I really should live stream myself sleeping. I think that's great content.
26:17 I agree. Absolutely. Yeah. The nightmares and the fucking calf. Had somebody mapped
26:21 out the office yet? Cause Kirk, you will be running three miles in the office every day,
26:24 right?
26:25 Four miles. I saw Steven shade that idiot say I run three miles a day. I run every day.
26:29 The sheriff run at least four miles. Uh, my great friend, Chris Clemmer sent me a video
26:34 of a 15 loops around. What's his, what's the guy, the runner, what's his name? That's right.
26:39 Vibs did run around the office 15 times around as a mile. So I'm going to have to do at least
26:43 60 of those each day, which I'm going to do. I'm going to, I have no problem doing that.
26:49 I mean, like, you know, they haven't, I'm I I'm, I'm no diva. I didn't ask for a treadmill.
26:53 Didn't ask for anything. So I think everybody should be even. So I'm gonna do 60 laps around
26:57 the, uh, around the office.
26:59 That is I've behaved for nine months. We're nine months into the recovery tour and to
27:03 Kirk's point, like he said, this is a war. You're going to push the limits. I'm going
27:07 to be sleep deprived. Like this could be back to depression, horrible, like scumbag asshole,
27:16 the one everybody hated. So I don't know. It's, it's tough. I'm going to be towing that
27:20 line. We'll see what happens. I'm bigger than my problems, but I might not be bigger than
27:25 sleeping on the floor next to certain people. So we'll see.
27:29 A hundred grand on the line. We're gonna talk about WGA strikeover, but I will talk about
27:34 a show that didn't need the WGA and that is Kirk Minahan live show. Sacco $10 on bar stool
27:40 pay-per-view. Uh, I've already purchased, excuse me, only once. I only did it one time.
27:45 I know you've asked some fans to maybe try and buy more than once. I'm happy. I'm 50,
27:49 60 times. I've been told. Yeah. Make sure you go buy that a bar stool.tv/ppv is the
27:56 link you're in a producer search. You thank God you're out of time. Cause you added yet
28:01 another name this morning. This will guy is an absolute fucking character, but you're
28:07 going to pick your producer on set producer, maybe producers.
28:10 Yeah. We say goodbye to Coney. We say hello to the new producers, six candidates. Now
28:15 they're all insane. And we have a live minivan wedding, John is fiance Joanne. And we have
28:24 teased a live sex show between the two. They're in their seventies. Uh, which is not pay-per-view
28:29 is fine. I think, I think that woman, she seemed with like with it. She's in her seventies.
28:34 Yeah. She's in the mid seventies, I believe. Yeah. Yeah. And what was the cup? What was
28:39 the, the, the clam was out at the last live show.
28:43 She was hammered the yeah. The, the vagina. Yeah. I mean, that's the thing. I counted
28:46 the rings around her vagina. There's 72, she's 72 years old. Interesting. Yeah. So yeah,
28:51 she's the only person ever to get drunk at a minivan live show. So, uh, yeah. So the,
28:58 the producer search, like you said, Jeff has been totally insane. Including a couple of
29:01 people, John Richard produces this show. He wound up bowing out and, uh, what have I,
29:05 I think the full six for those not in the loop. What are the full six? I'm not sure
29:09 I can recall. Let me think there's Andrew Augustus whose stock is dropping as you know,
29:14 whack Mike Montante, who you hate because he's a, he's a, he's a, what's what's my call
29:18 it? The guy we hate, um, uh, Mick who stinks, Miku pretended that he did one episode podcast
29:26 with the Vegas shooting, pretended it's the Saudis went after him and smashed his house
29:30 up. Uh, uh, will from today, John from Scranton, who's on heroin. And I'm forgetting somebody
29:37 who am I forgetting Dave Coleman, Coleman, Oh, Coleman, Coleman. That's the problem.
29:41 Coleman, like any other job in the world, Coleman walks in and he's next to a guy like
29:45 will or the heroin guy. And you're like, well, I'm hiring this guy. He's so competent and
29:49 so good for my show. It's like, can I hire him? I want to, but I don't know. And I don't
29:55 know. I won't know until I'm driving up there. I think on Saturday, I completely, I don't,
29:59 I was telling you before, I have no idea. The guy today was will today was pretty fucking
30:04 incredible. He was Pacino thing was that's what's good. The outfit. I mean, he's wearing
30:09 joggers and a fucking shirt and tie and a weird jacket, but I didn't think of this as
30:13 a way of marketing it. If you are into elderly pornography and you don't even know about
30:17 the show and you're watching this, you can get that.
30:20 I think we're going to make that happen. I think pay-per-view is all, everything's a
30:23 play, right? Rico. She's yeah. She said she's got to do it over a sheet though. I was listening
30:28 to that thing gets knocked over. We give the people a thrill. We cut a couple of holes.
30:32 Yeah. Yeah. It's like a Kirby enthusiast episode. Yeah. I mean like when there's enough passion
30:36 in the show, we show some wrinkly ass cheeks from the back. They flip the ability as ass
30:41 cheeks. Like exactly. Yeah. Everything's on play. Now you're selling it. Thank you. Yeah.
30:45 You, you tuck your head on the giveaway play by play. It's going to be, I'll do my best.
30:50 On Saturday tonight, most dangerous game show. Roan, the diabolical Roan will help crown
30:55 the second champion of this show. Spider Megan making money. Grace O'Malley and Rudy, Rudy
31:01 June to a final four of that show. 8 PM Eastern on the barstool YouTube channel. Also the
31:07 writer cup at 2 PM on the barstool YouTube channel and the 7 PM last two final four spots
31:12 determined in a dozen one V one Nick versus Fran and KB against Clem. What is the, uh,
31:18 what one on one thing, what the, how does the eating challenge work on that tonight
31:21 in the middle? How does it work? Yeah, actually the, we, we, I will announce it. Now the championship
31:27 is just a game of knockout. Uh, we're going to go to basketball court. Yeah. I got to
31:32 talk to those writer cup editors. I got a good edit the first day. And then the next
31:38 two, they completely took me out. Like I wasn't even there. What do you mean? Uh, in North
31:42 Carolina, I was there the whole thing. And then they just made it look like I wasn't
31:45 there for the second day. And the third day we really just, we really just started the
31:48 second day is, you know, Rico. So maybe you'll be on there as it goes on. All right. Yeah,
31:52 maybe I was there for the three, but it's, Oh, this, this old Bosco's already starting
31:57 to creep back. You can tell this is a caddy first day. He made a couple of mistakes. Second
32:02 and third day, zero mistakes, zero mistakes. Exactly. I believe that. I believe that 0.0.
32:07 Yeah. Um, that's it. Thank you to masters from mattress from thank you for watching.
