00:00I mean, Lamar Jackson is having his best year by far, and he's had two MVPs award-winning.
00:05Yeah, that's fair.
00:06So, I think we're going to see how it plays out.
00:07I think Josh Allen's probably going to win it at this point.
00:13Rundown Monday, December 16th.
00:16We got Tate.
00:18We got Donnie.
00:18I'm Stephen Che.

00:52Overreaction Monday.
00:53Obviously, football was yesterday.
00:55Some big games, certainly.
00:56I think the Lions and Bills game was, you know, entertainment-wise, one of the best
01:03games we've seen this year, 48-42.
01:07The Bills win.
01:09The Lions lose.
01:10Dave Montgomery has an MCL injury that he's going to get a second opinion on.
01:15Starting quarterback Carlton Davis broke his jaw.
01:17Their best defensive lineman left, Aleem McNeil, towards ACL.
01:20So they're kind of decimated.
01:24This is kind of a fun watch, you guys.
01:25Do you think the Bills, who do you think is a bigger Super Bowl contender right now?
01:29The Bills or the Lions?
01:32Tate, I'll start with you.
01:33Yeah, I mean, I know Gruden shredded you yesterday on the shred line for saying the obvious,
01:37but Josh Allen locked up the MVP, and I think the Bills.
01:41The Bills, the Chiefs have one loss, right?
01:44So, like, they're going to be the number one seed as of now, but wouldn't you take the
01:47Bills against the Chiefs if they were to play?
01:51You disagree.
01:52The Chiefs are just their boogeyman.
01:54I don't know.
01:56Josh Allen's such a monster right now.
01:57I know.
01:58I also don't think he has the MVP locked up.
02:00Really?
02:01Did you see what Lamar Jackson did yesterday?
02:02I did.
02:02I know he played the Giants, but, like, I mean, Lamar Jackson is having his best year by far,
02:07and he's had two MVPs or more.
02:09Yeah, that's fair.
02:10I think we're going to see how it plays out.
02:11I think Josh Allen's probably going to win it at this point,
02:14but I don't think it's fully wrapped up yet.
02:17How do you think the Bills can catch the Chiefs?
02:20Like, the Chiefs just keep winning, and I think whoever has that home field advantage
02:23is going to have a huge advantage in that game, obviously.
02:26I really don't like how the NFL does their playoffs now.
02:29It's seven teams, then one team getting the buy.
02:31I feel like it just makes the one seed, like, too advantageous,
02:34because before, you know, the number two seed would get the buy,
02:37and that's obviously a major advantage.
02:39So, you know, you're playing for that now.
02:40It's like, all right, well, the one seed is, you know, going to be locked up by week,
02:43you know, 17, probably.
02:4517, 18, you know, what is it, Matt?
02:48I guess we're just jostling for seeding at that point.
02:51But yeah, I mean, it's a bit of a mess.
02:53Donnie, who do you like out of these two to win it all?
02:58Well, full disclosure, I watched zero football this weekend
03:00because I was on a flight from Mumbai, India to Istanbul.
03:04As one does.
03:04Which was like seven hours, then a layover,
03:07and then an 11-hour flight from Istanbul to Chicago.
03:11Before you go on, what is the entertainment like on those long flights?
03:15There are TVs in seats, right, or no?
03:17On the Mumbai to Istanbul flight, the TV did not work.
03:22Oh.
03:22There was nothing.
03:25Luckily, I slept that entire flight.
03:27On Turkish Airlines, they did have a TV, a bunch of movies.
03:30I watched Twisters, I watched Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,
03:34and I watched It Ends With Us,
03:36which is like a chick flick about domestic violence.
03:40All right.
03:41Yeah, I guess it's a chick.
03:43It's a film made for females,
03:46but it's important.
03:47It's important for men to watch too.
03:49I think domestic violence is bad.
03:51Yes, yeah.
03:52Put me on record as well, bad.
03:54The Barstool Runtown disavows domestic violence.
03:56I'm going to go ahead and say the whole company disavows it.
03:58Yes, yeah, exactly.
03:59You're right, it's not just the Runtown.
04:01I'm going to do that for this one.
04:02But a huge, Turkish Airlines doesn't serve ginger ale,
04:06and ginger ale, I don't know why, but everybody loves it on planes.
04:08It's the number one in-air beverage.
04:10I know Hank agrees with me.
04:12I'm a tomato juice guy in the air, only in the air.
04:16No, thank you.
04:17I'm out at all times on that.
04:17Only in a Bloody Mary.
04:18That's the only time I think I have ever consumed tomato juice.
04:21Pretty good.
04:22Try it next time, because, and I read something about,
04:24read, I saw a blurb about something where it,
04:29because you're so high, your taste buds are different,
04:31so it hits differently when you're whatever, 30,000 feet up.
04:34It's good.
04:35Okay.
04:36All right.
04:36I can't promise I'll try it.
04:39In terms of the NFL, I mean, I want anyone to win it besides the Chiefs,
04:42because I feel like the Chiefs win one more.
04:45It's going to be a lot of comparisons with the Patriots.
04:47Yeah.
04:48A lot of, yeah, Mahomes, Tom Brady comparisons,
04:52and yeah, I don't want that to happen.
04:55I want their goat status solidified.
04:58I would love to see the Bills win it.
04:59Yeah.
05:00I would love to see the Lions win it for, I mean, those guys,
05:04I mean, I guess Bills fans and Lions fans have just had a rough go of it.
05:07It would be cool to see those fan bases get together and at least,
05:10I feel like if that was Super Bowl week in New Orleans,
05:12I feel like it would be less like rivalry shit talk,
05:16like we're going to kick your ass.
05:17That doesn't mean to like both fans just being like, isn't it cool to be here?
05:20Yeah, I think that would be a fun vibe.
05:23Well, when the, I know it's different because the Cubs are one of like the
05:25marquee teams in baseball, but when the Indians played the Cubs,
05:28someone was going to break a stretch of like hadn't won one in forever.
05:33Obviously, wish the Indians would have won,
05:35but it feels like that kind of where like those will be two teams where
05:38someone's going to break the barrier and win a Super Bowl.
05:41Yeah, speaking of breaking the barrier, Jonathan Taylor did not do that
05:45with the goal line yesterday.
05:46A big, a big story, but this is a continued problem.
05:51It started in 2008, I believe, with Deshaun Jackson.
05:55It was 2009 against Dallas where he kind of threw the ball.
05:58That was very blatant.
05:59This one was very close.
06:01You kind of have to slow it down, look at a different angle,
06:03and be like, oh shit, he really did drop the ball.
06:05But how, Che? A fraction.
06:06How, why do we have to slow it down and look at the fraction?
06:10It's tough. There is a line judge right there.
06:13No, I'm saying like, why is Jonathan Taylor even making it close?
06:18Yeah. I feel like an old man yelling at clouds,
06:20like a dude that's never played in the league,
06:22but like it ain't that hard to just run through the end zone.
06:26Yeah, drop it at the end of the end zone.
06:28Yeah, and that's everyone's take though.
06:30So like, Che, you're our football ambassador.
06:32What are you going to do to change this?
06:35I mean, you got to coach him, like I said,
06:36like to run through the back of the end zone with the ball.
06:38Like, there's no advantage.
06:40This wasn't even one where he's like stretching,
06:42like, I can get it if it's a guy and it's, you know,
06:45third and goal or fourth and goal,
06:47and you're stretching out to cross the pylon,
06:50and you know, it gets jarred out, you drop something.
06:52That is somewhat explainable.
06:56This one, where Jonathan Taylor has broken away from everybody.
06:59There's no one within three yards of him,
07:01and he is crossing the goal line, not even at full speed.
07:03He's, you know, starting to slow down.
07:05You gotta get past that line.
07:08I would, I think this is a running backs coach thing,
07:11and wide receivers coach, and you know,
07:13full head coach everything, offensive coordinator head coach.
07:15You gotta teach him to run at least halfway through.
07:18I would coach it to run through the back of the end zone
07:20with the ball.
07:21Do the Gronkowski spike, if anything.
07:24Yeah, do anything to just get in the end zone with the ball,
07:27because this was not only, you know,
07:29from a betting perspective, very annoying.
07:30Jonathan Taylor, I'm sure, ruined a lot of parlays
07:32and bets and all that stuff, but from a game perspective,
07:35the Colts were winning 13 to 7 at this point.
07:39They could have been up 20 to 7, been in full control.
07:43Instead, you know, this is the rule that Rich Eisen hates,
07:46but you know, you drop the ball before the goal line.
07:49It goes out of the end zone.
07:50So not only do you not score, you give the ball to the other team.
07:54No points on the board.
07:55They have the ball now.
07:57The Broncos went on to win this game.
07:58This was a pivotal game.
08:00The Colts were in the hunt.
08:02They were 6 and 7.
08:03If they win this game, they take the Broncos down a notch.
08:05They were then on the tiebreaker over.
08:08There would be a one game difference separating them.
08:10I mean, they would be right there.
08:11Instead, this happens, and now their season, essentially,
08:15is over, which is a crazy way to end it.
08:17Yeah, I saw Jack Mack said he'd never done it before,
08:20but he tweeted that he will be sending his first ever Venmo
08:23request to a professional athlete,
08:26and I don't know what to say.
08:27I don't know.
08:28I feel like an idiot suggesting it.
08:30Like, it's obviously not going to happen,
08:32but we have to do something to deter these dudes from doing
08:35this, because it matters to their team.
08:37It matters to the fantasy players.
08:39It matters to the betters.
08:40That was a pivotal drop.
08:42What are we going to do?
08:43Are we going to fine him?
08:44I would guess he's going to get a team fine.
08:46He should get something, because he screwed.
08:48I mean, it's fantasy football playoff and championship
08:50weekend.
08:51Yeah, yeah.
08:52That's a long touchdown that turns into a fumble lost.
08:55Yeah.
08:56It was the fantasy football world championships
09:00this weekend in Nashville.
09:02I saw Dana Beers and Mincy.
09:03Mincy riding a bull was great.
09:05Mincy just absolutely locking down Larry Fitzgerald.
09:09Did you see any of this footage that Dana was tweeting?
09:11Yeah, yeah.
09:12I watched.
09:12Dana did a great job.
09:13Mincy talking the guy's face off.
09:16Yeah.
09:17That was quite a scene.
09:18How do you think that went down?
09:19Because, like, Larry Fitzgerald obviously is not there,
09:21because he was just, like, he's being paid to be there,
09:24whatever.
09:25So he has to interact with everyone
09:29and keep a straight face on.
09:30Man, they really put him to the test.
09:32Mincy had him in a seatbelt.
09:34Yeah.
09:35Yeah, that was.
09:36We've all been there.
09:37Yeah, but it's Larry Fitzgerald.
09:39Yes, I know.
09:40Yeah, but we also, like, when we're here,
09:42I guess we're all, you know, working
09:44and have our things to do.
09:45But, like, he, I'm sure, was supposed to, like, meet
09:47and greet, you know, for the most part everyone
09:49and just kind of go around and mingle.
09:51And talk to Mincy for half the time.
09:53Absolutely in the torture chamber.
09:54I've seen that curled hand point as I, like,
09:58shimmy to the bathroom.
10:00Larry couldn't do it.
10:01The wildest thing about their time together,
10:03I think, was the photo.
10:04Did you guys see the photo?
10:05Did you see Mincy's stance in the photo?
10:07No, I didn't.
10:08He went full, like, sorority.
10:10Doug, can you pull this up?
10:11I believe Dana tweeted it.
10:14Where he does the, you know how women sometimes
10:17if they're in a picture, they'll do the, like, foot down.
10:20The squat action thing?
10:21No, not the squat action, but, like, the toe down.
10:25To, like, kind of flex the leg a little bit.
10:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:27He did that.
10:28And whatever he was wearing, sketchers,
10:31in a photo next to Larry was just so fucking funny.
10:33I love that.
10:34I mean, Mincy is a Southern gentleman.
10:35He's a sorority-trained SEC guy.
10:38I have a very dumb question.
10:40Like, what exactly are the fantasy football
10:41world championships?
10:43Like, what teams are competing in that?
10:46Go ahead.
10:46So, basically, DraftKings puts on these qualifiers
10:50all year round.
10:50And you have to, instead of, like, winning big money
10:53in the daily fantasy, you win a ticket
10:55to the world championship.
10:57And I believe the winner of yesterday's world championship
11:00I think got, like, $2.5 million.
11:02Holy shit.
11:03People can't see this, but Doug is getting absolutely
11:05bodied by Twitter log.
11:06And right now has no idea what his password is.
11:09We'll put it in.
11:10Yeah, we're stalling over here.
11:12He's, like, he's got one foot.
11:13So he's not doing the tippy toes,
11:15trying to seem taller.
11:16He's just got this crazy pose with, like, one foot up.
11:19And it's Dana, Larry Fitzgerald, and then Mincy,
11:21and Mincy doing this pose.
11:23It is quite the sight to see.
11:27All right, let's move on from those guys.
11:31I want to talk about, I think, the biggest
11:35story in the football world, really,
11:37was Travis Hunter winning the Heisman, obviously,
11:40on Saturday night.
11:42Congrats to the big cat.
11:43$200,000 cashed in his 41.
11:46Yeah.
11:4741 ticket.
11:48And is that his biggest win of the season?
11:50Yes.
11:50Yeah.
11:50That's his biggest win ever, I believe.
11:51Biggest win ever.
11:52Holy shit.
11:53200 grand?
11:54But the story about this, Jack Mack
11:55did a really good job chronicling it,
11:57is Travis Hunter's girlfriend or fiancee?
11:59Fiancee.
12:00Fiancee.
12:01OK.
12:01Ugh.
12:02What?
12:03Why'd you go, ugh?
12:04Oh!
12:04Well, because nothing to do with her physically.
12:07She's an attractive woman.
12:09But I think, as a general rule, people should, ideally not,
12:17and it's not 100%, you shouldn't get married to someone
12:19you met in high school or college,
12:21just because you are going to be stuck in those patterns
12:24for a long time.
12:25You're not really going to have the chance
12:26to develop and grow up.
12:27So Travis Hunter is, what, 19 years old, 20 years old?
12:30So the person that he is with now.
12:32Is it girlfriend, though?
12:33Can we check on that?
12:34I feel like you see that a lot in the pros, where
12:37people stay with their, it's either their high school
12:40or their college sweetheart.
12:41It's someone they were with before the pros.
12:44And maybe they do that because they know,
12:45once they get into the pros, it's
12:47going to be hard to just, like, the chick is going
12:51to be kind of after one thing.
12:53Sure.
12:53You know you're an NFL player, and you
12:55know they're at least first interested
12:58because of the money.
12:59Where these girls, it's like, oh, they like me for me.
13:01That's true.
13:02But this just reminds me of most college relationships,
13:06where things are not going great,
13:07and she's kind of given the cold shoulder.
13:09It comes to light that she doesn't stand up
13:12when he gets announced as the Heisman.
13:14Last to stand, first to sit.
13:17I actually don't have a problem with the first to sit,
13:19because he embraced her first.
13:21So like, OK.
13:21Yeah, it's her turn.
13:23I think it's OK to sit and make room for other people.
13:27But for Coach Deion Sanders to basically nudge her to stand up
13:32is a tough look.
13:33And then all these other things come out with her,
13:36you know, kind of not giving a kiss on the sideline
13:38during his last game, all this stuff.
13:40And then I think maybe the craziest one of all,
13:43did you guys see the video of the sponsored Adidas event,
13:46where she's just three feet away from him,
13:48like, mean mugging all the people
13:49that are trying to take pictures with him?
13:51Just a lot of bad vibes come from this one.
13:53Donnie, what is your take on her in general?
13:59I mean, when she didn't quite stand up,
14:01like, some people were saying, you know,
14:03maybe she just wasn't trying to make it all about herself,
14:05which is fine, you know?
14:08OK.
14:09She was still clapping.
14:12When she's getting annoyed at him
14:13having to, like, take a bunch of photos
14:15or sign a bunch of autographs, it's like,
14:17you're dating, like, the best college football
14:19player in the country.
14:20You've got to get used to that.
14:22That's the price you pay to have a very successful fiance.
14:28So yeah, she needs to get over that,
14:30or just find a new boyfriend, because it's only
14:34going to get more intense when he goes to the pros.
14:38Yeah.
14:38I didn't love it.
14:39Tate, where do you stand on this?
14:40I mean, I thought the most interesting part
14:42of the whole story is the background of him
14:47trying to make her his girlfriend multiple times,
14:50like, growing up.
14:51And she just wasn't interested, because he wasn't her type.
14:55It just feels like, you know when she became his type,
14:59or her type, was when he became a top five NFL pick in the draft
15:03and was going to be the Heisman.
15:04I don't want to, like, say you don't like that.
15:06But I'm telling you, the way her face
15:10is expressed in all of these moments, like, damn,
15:12I got to deal with this.
15:14Yeah, I don't know if she'd be with him
15:16if he wasn't the Heisman Trophy winner or the.
15:18I don't know about that.
15:19Because if you're with someone, because they are, whatever,
15:22going to be a top five pick, Heisman Trophy winner,
15:23all this stuff, college football superstar,
15:26wouldn't you embrace this?
15:27Like, if you were seeking that, I would think that you're like,
15:31oh, this is great.
15:32This is exactly what I signed up for and more.
15:35Instead, she's looking a little bit uncomfortable and unhappy
15:39in all of the spots she is, whether it's the sideline.
15:42So do you think she's, like, happy when they're just like.
15:44Do you think she appears to be the type of girl
15:46that is pleasant to go to the movies with when there's
15:49no cameras around?
15:50She doesn't look happy doing anything right now.
15:53It's not fair.
15:54And this is not really an indictment on her.
15:56She's, whatever, 19 or 20 years old.
15:58And, you know, I think just people that are together
16:04when they're 20 years old are not the same person they
16:09will eventually be in life.
16:10And I think, you know, I'm sure both of them have a lot
16:12of growing up to do and all that shit.
16:13But they're just in an infant relationship.
16:15Like, they're in a very young relationship.
16:18And they, I don't know if she's ready for it.
16:20Did you see Travis defend her?
16:23No.
16:23Yeah, Travis.
16:24So there's a new part of the story.
16:26Travis went on and he does his, like, livestream or Twitch
16:29or whatever.
16:30And he went pretty hard at people that are going hard
16:34at her.
16:34And he said that she's crying and she's been drinking
16:39way too much because of the hate she's been receiving.
16:42And she doesn't deserve it.
16:44I think she got used, like, too used to playing hard
16:48to get and being, like, you know, the princess in the
16:50relationship.
16:51And now the tables have sort of turned.
16:53That's a great point.
16:54Yeah.
16:54Yeah, he's the crown jewel in that relationship now
16:57when it took him a lot to get her the first time.
17:01Yeah, good for him.
17:04But yeah, I mean, also drinking too much when you're,
17:07like, a sophomore in college.
17:08I mean, what's the bar for that?
17:10It's only going to get worse.
17:11Yeah, what's the bar for that?
17:12All right, let's move on.
17:14Something I wanted to talk about.
17:16I don't know how deep you want to get into this, but
17:19what the fuck is going on with, or actually, hold on,
17:22we'll do this first.
17:23Pop-Tarts unveiled the single greatest trophy in all
17:26sports, a built-in toaster.
17:28Yeah.
17:29Now I saw that they put it in.
17:31Do you think that's a functional toaster?
17:33Or it has to be.
17:34Oh, yeah, they eat at the end.
17:35So it's got batteries in it.
17:37That could be a safety header.
17:39Or, yeah, but you don't want a trophy that you have
17:42to plug into the wall to work.
17:43Iron, I would think, like, it's, like, the retractable
17:46cord, you know?
17:47Oh, so, okay, then, yeah.
17:48I got it being battery-powered.
17:50There's no way that they're going to plug this trophy
17:52in at the 50-yard line after the game when they hand
17:55it to someone.
17:56And now it's...
17:57They're not going to toast a Pop-Tart at halftime, are they?
17:59I bet you they do.
18:00It's a bit of a safety hazard because, like, a lot of
18:02those guys wear chains.
18:03What if he's celebrating when his chain gets in the
18:05toaster, electrocutes, like, goes up around his neck,
18:09boom, he's dead.
18:10Common problem.
18:11My biggest problem here, no offense, Riggs is my
18:13guy.
18:14Doug, you got to go to Riggs' Pop-Tart rankings.
18:16They're down there in the blog.
18:19Wildberry, strawberry, brown sugar.
18:21Wildberry's very good.
18:22It is good, but there's a...
18:23There is a Pop-Tart that is not in the top five that is
18:26being snubbed right now.
18:28Is it Hot Fudge Sunday?
18:28S'mores?
18:29S'mores is a...
18:30S'mores, yeah, yeah.
18:30And Hot Fudge Sunday is great, too.
18:32S'mores is, like, an American classic.
18:34Yeah, I agree.
18:35It's a little too thirst-inducing.
18:37Like, you need a giant jug of milk or a water bottle
18:42to consume one of those.
18:43I mean, all Pop-Tart flavors are good, but, like,
18:45Frosted Strawberry and then Frosted Cherry both in it,
18:47that's, like, somewhat duplicative.
18:49Like, they're having one at two, one at five.
18:52Like, there's not that crazy of a difference between them.
18:54Yeah, I agree with that.
18:55There's no chocolate representation in Riggs' top five there.
19:00Sometimes, if you're having those for breakfast, sometimes a bunch
19:02of chocolate can be a little too heavy first thing in the morning.
19:05It's true.
19:06Maybe I'm just soft.
19:07They're good throughout the day, though.
19:09All right, let's go on.

20:30Congrats.
20:31SimpliSafe is the absolute best.
20:33I can check in on my living room, my outside.
20:36My mailman comes at like 730 at night.
20:39Really?
20:40That's way too late.
20:41Like I'll get an alarm or an alert being like movement outside your
20:46house.
20:46What the fuck's going on at 730?
20:48Fun fact, Tate's a homeowner as well, but back in Ohio.
20:52Yeah.
20:53You didn't sell it?
20:54I rent it to my... He had just bought it.
20:57Yeah, just bought it.
20:58Oh, when he got the job here. Two days before. Closing costs.
21:02Do you feel comfortable telling people how much it cost?
21:05Well, let me say this.
21:07You don't have to.
21:08I mean, I was just shocked at how cheap you can buy a house in Ohio.
21:12Oh, okay.
21:13Yeah, we don't have to talk about it.
21:15Just long story short, if you remember when I was first getting
21:17hired, Francis and some people like looked up my like address and it
21:22got cut from the rundown, which is fine.
21:23I'm not mad about it.
21:24I don't live there.
21:26That is the house that I bought and fixed up and I thought the person
21:29renting it from me was taking some absolute ricochet shots during
21:33that rundown and I was just like, yeah, that's not my house.
21:37Yikes.
21:38All right, let's talk about unidentified flying objects.
21:46What the hell's going on in New Jersey?
21:49And I guess some part of Pennsylvania. Depends on who you ask.
21:52I think it's like south of New Jersey-ish.
21:53So many drones only at night.
21:58Coming around in groups, it seems and it looks like there's red and green
22:03lights on them, which is very festive, but also very confusing.
22:07So I'm hearing reports like around Tom's River Ridge, which is like
22:11kind of South Jersey and also in Pennsylvania.
22:14Some people are saying they're coming off of the water, but like nobody
22:17really has an answer for this.
22:18The government isn't really answering for this.
22:20New Jersey, I believe the New Jersey governor or whoever to like
22:23sent a memo being like, we need to know what these things are.
22:26What the fuck is going on?
22:28Yeah.
22:29I mean, there are some people who are being like, dude, they're all
22:32just planes.
22:32Like I've looked at all the footage there.
22:34Like they can all be explained as either planes or satellites, which
22:38I mean, I guess I could see people from New Jersey just kind of making
22:42a big deal out of nothing.
22:43But I've also seen a bunch of videos where it's like that is not a
22:47plane and it could be something that the US government knows exactly
22:51what's going on, but they can't say anything.
22:53Like say if there's like a Russian nuclear sub off the coast and those
22:56drunk that those drones are monitoring it.
22:59They can't announce that to the public.
23:01Like they got to keep that kind of top secret.
23:03I mean, I saw a clip of Trump saying like the government knows exactly
23:07what's going on and it's about time.
23:08They told the public I have no idea.
23:11Do you guys have any theory?
23:12I mean, it depends on who you ask.
23:14There's there's a million different conspiracies.
23:16Obviously, they could be aliens.
23:18They could be a fake alien attack.
23:20I see some people loving that theory, which is that we're about to fake
23:23an alien attack.
23:24So then we can beat the aliens and tighten up the order of the United
23:29States and kind of restrict society a little bit Trump's out there.
23:32Listen, all I'm saying.
23:36Either the government knows what it is, which they have to or else we
23:41would shoot him down.
23:42There is no way the video.
23:43That guy shooting his gun at him is there's yeah, there's no way that
23:47so like the I don't know if it was the press secretary or whoever it
23:50was spoke for the Pentagon, whatever it was.
23:53Someone was like, yeah, we just know they're not bad guys bullshit
23:56that the United States government doesn't know what those are and
24:00we're just letting them fly.
24:02Yeah, especially because a lot of spots have the technology.
24:05They have this little gun that you just pointed a drone and it takes
24:08out the radio signal whatever and then it drops from the sky.
24:11Wouldn't we do that in a heartbeat if we couldn't identify what they
24:14were?
24:15Yeah, because even if it's just a bunch of people fucking around, I
24:19don't think the government would want like that many drones.
24:21You don't check Nelly.
24:23Every you don't have the engagement check rules of engagement.
24:26I mean, there's the freedom of speech.
24:29There's the freedom of the press.
24:30We do.
24:30You do not have the freedom to potentially be a bomb in the airspace.
24:35If we didn't know what those were, we would shoot him fucking down.
24:39I mean, do you think it's like if theoretically, theoretically, I don't
24:43know what to believe.
24:45Theoretically, if they are aliens and you take one out, are you starting
24:51a?
24:53Cross galaxy war.
24:57That's what I'm saying.
24:58Like it, but I think you need to find out exactly what they are first
25:01and then some do you do you subscribe to a belief that they could still
25:05be unidentified objects or do you think someone knows and like Donnie
25:09said, maybe they just can't tell us and the reason is because it's way
25:13above our pay grade in our our safety layer, but there is no way that
25:17the United States is truly just in the dark on what these are.
25:21What if they just show up one day?
25:22Like, how are you getting background factory?
25:26How are you getting all that stuff?
25:27You shoot those motherfuckers down.
25:29You have to Che dude, you have to yeah, you at least shoot one down.
25:34So then you can take a closer look at it.
25:36I mean, what if it's like a bunch of bros on 4chan and they all got
25:39together because there's crazy drone technology now and they're like,
25:42let's like freak out the entire state of New Jersey with this coordinated
25:46drone display because have you seen the drone displays in China?
25:50It's wild what they can do with drones.
25:52Now we should throw in a clip.
25:54Like they do these crazy drone shows there where they're all synchronized
25:57drones and they can like form moving objects in the sky.
26:02It's arguably cooler than any fireworks display I've ever seen.
26:06They can form crazy shapes and then change into, they can go from like
26:11a dragon into a running man and they do these shows all over China now.
26:16So like, I'm sure some people in the U S would have.
26:19Yeah.
26:19So like two, one, it's counting down.
26:23That is somewhat what they look like.
26:26Um, but it's like, I don't think it'd be a foreign country cause it's like,
26:29why would a foreign country needlessly antagonize us?
26:32Like they're not like, what are they gaining from this?
26:36I just like freaking out a bunch of people in New Jersey and then like maybe
26:41really pissing off the U S government.
26:44A lot of people are saying that it has to be safety related somehow.
26:47Like the government has to know what it is, but they're not able to tell that
26:51they are sniffing bombs or whatever it may be.
26:54I don't know.
26:55It's it's to the point where I don't know who's been saying it, but they
26:59either need to shit or get off the pot.
27:00Like you either need to tell the American people, listen, we, we are not
27:05going to tell you what it is, but it's safety related.
27:08Or if you really don't know what they are, get them out of the sky.
27:11So I don't really follow much news.
27:15This is kind of breached my world, but what is the popular conspiracy
27:19theory with this?
27:21Well, according to pug, he said it's aliens protecting us from other
27:26aliens.
27:27Yeah.
27:27Oh, that's sick.
27:29But that, uh, that's just, uh, something I heard pug say.
27:33I do believe aliens are just us in the future.
27:36I think the, the biggest like mainstream conspiracy is that they are something
27:43to do with the U S military and we know exactly what they're doing.
27:46It's just, we don't know what we're doing.
27:48Yeah.
27:48That's the most believable.
27:50Okay.
27:50Cause there's like one video.
27:53I'll send it to you so you can put it in.
27:55But like that, that is not just like a normal drone.
27:59Like, right.
28:01Yeah.
28:01That that's not some 14 year old flying his drone up.
28:04No.
28:05Like what the hell it's like rotating around.
28:09What the hell?
28:12I saw UFO in Jersey once it was way bigger though.
28:14A hundred percent UFO.
28:15Che confirmed.
28:16Yes.
28:18Um, it's like three years ago.
28:19I guess right now, Venus is like, or, uh, Saturn
28:23is the brightest that it's ever been.
28:27Um, at the moment.
28:28So people are like, maybe they're just like seeing planets.
28:30Cause, or also this time of the year, there's a couple asteroid showers that
28:35like are happening, happening over New Jersey.
28:38So it's like, maybe people are just seeing the shooting stars, the asteroids
28:42and mistaking them for drones, but whatever it is in this video is not a
28:47planet, not a shooting star and not some kid's drone.
28:51Hmm.
28:52Um, interesting.
28:54I will, this will be one we continue to monitor.
28:56Yeah.
28:56Uh, Donnie, uh, Thanksgiving is over and you are back from Turkey.
29:01Uh, yes.
29:02How did it go with bald stool?
29:05It went as smooth as it could have gone.
29:07You know, uh, the last minute I ended up bringing eight stoolies.
29:10I didn't vet the stoolies at all, but like that was the original plan.
29:15All right.
29:16I'm going to like venom and I'm going to choose maybe the six people that
29:19seem the most chill or who would be the most entertaining for content.
29:22But it was so last minute.
29:23I was like, if you can make these dates work and you can afford it, just come.
29:28They were all awesome guys.
29:29Um, yeah.
29:31Well behaved.
29:32I probably had to be more worried about my own coworkers behavior
29:35than the stoolies behavior.
29:37But yeah, everyone got along.
29:39I could see this doing a season two, three, four, five of the series.
29:44Istanbul is an awesome city.
29:46I think the procedures went well.
29:49I mean, we're not going to see the full effects for six months down the line,
29:53but a lot of fun.
29:55I think the only thing I would change is the first night we did a welcome dinner.
29:59I got bombed.
30:00And then the next morning wake up and it's like, Holy shit.
30:02I got to give like 16 people a tour of a foreign country now.
30:07Um, but yeah, it was awesome.
30:10Like I'm sure you guys have seen all the clips, but now we're going to be
30:13putting out like four to six long form vlogs, recapping all too.
30:17Yeah.
30:18Nice.
30:18What was the, what's your one favorite story from the trip?
30:21My, I love seeing the White Sox Dave do it with the ice cream, but I mean,
30:24that's just, I mean, I think the footage.
30:28Wait.
30:28Oh, the yeah.
30:29Yeah.
30:30When he got, he was the first person to beat a Turkish ice cream guy.
30:33Yeah.
30:34I mean, it was just shut out.
30:37That's the Nova.
30:37They were the clinic that, you know, hooked us all up.
30:40Um, I think it was just absurd that I had free range in the clinic.
30:45So at first I'm wearing, I'm dressed like I'm going to the club.
30:47I'm wearing a leopard sports jacket and I can just walk into all the operating
30:53rooms, like while it's going on while they're getting the needles into their
30:56skull.
30:56And I, I think that content is going to be hilarious.
31:00I kind of had my own little office in the clinic where I could take a break
31:04and eat a kebab.
31:06Um, eventually I think someone was like, Oh, is that sanitary for him just
31:09to be, you know, not wearing any gloves and just like wearing his normal clothes
31:15and being in the operating room.
31:16So then they made me put on a doctor's outfit, but I got free range to film.
31:21Whatever.
31:22Nice.
31:22Uh, favorite story.
31:25Was there an MVP of the trip?
31:27Who would you say was the best, best traveler for us?
31:31Um, White Sox, Dave handled himself very well.
31:37Eddie, who has not traveled at all.
31:38Like I was shocked because I like planned some group activities and like the moment
31:43we land, I'm like, all right, we're all going out to eat.
31:44And he was like, Oh no, I already got an appointment at this barbershop, like 10
31:49minutes away.
31:50And so I thought he was going to be a little more like nervous.
31:52Like his first time he had ever left North America and he's just going out on the
31:57streets, like doing his own thing.
31:59Um, so I was shocked to see that.
32:02Uh, but White Sox, Dave was, uh, yeah, probably the MVP of the coworkers.
32:08I haven't, don't think I've picked a stoolie MVP yet, but they were all great.
32:13Um, shout out Paolo.
32:15Maybe a shout out Paolo.
32:17Yeah.
32:17Shout out Paolo.
32:18Our Canadian stoolie, strong Canadian accent.
32:21Hilarious dude.
32:23Um, yeah, I mean like all, all the stories are like really liked White Sox, Dave.
32:29Um, yeah, I think, and White Sox, Dave just came back cause he's used to doing
32:34content where the content revolves around people shitting on them.
32:38Yeah.
32:38And then that week in Turkey, he was, he was only getting compliments like, oh my
32:41God, you look so good bald.
32:43Like, and so, yeah, he was on cloud nine.
32:46Um, what's another story that we got?
32:51Damn.
32:51I'll, I'll, I'll have to think, but we got lucky in terms of the weather.
32:55It was pouring rain.
32:57The, uh, first, like the two days where everybody was just getting surgery, but
33:01then we had a day off at the end.
33:02The sun came out, we rented a yacht, went for a nice little cruise.
33:06The first morning I woke up, the jet lag was crazy.
33:10And, uh, I freaked out cause I guess they were taking everybody.
33:14The first group of people to get their procedures at seven in the morning.
33:17Yeah.
33:17And I woke up at nine.
33:18I didn't know that.
33:19And I, like someone had already shaved Dave's head.
33:21So I was like, oh shit, I got to get to the clinic.
33:23We were staying on the European side.
33:25The clinic was on the Asian side.
33:26So I just run out of my hotel.
33:28I get in a cab and I'm like, take me to Asia.
33:30I got to get to Asia.
33:31There's like a big bridge.
33:33And then the cab driver like refused to take, to, to go over the bridge.
33:36And so then he just drops me off on the highway and I'm just like in the pouring
33:40rain, just trying to wave over a cab to get to Asia.
33:43I finally made it and was able to film the rest of the procedures, but yeah.
33:48Yeah.
33:49Looking forward to those, uh, videos.
33:52Um, one final thing, uh, if you care to address the, uh, not elephant in the room,
33:59but, um, there was the piece of, uh, I don't know who took it, but, uh, maybe in
34:05a vlog, uh, you talking about, uh, how Dave didn't like bald stool.
34:09Dave then went back on a name show and said that he did like it.
34:12Like he was just kind of caught off guard that it was mentioned.
34:14Thoughts on that whole exchange.
34:15I don't know if you've heard, if you've listened to the unnamed show yet.
34:18Um, yes.
34:19Yeah, I did.
34:19And I, I talked to Dave on the phone.
34:22Um, yeah, he said that was just because like he saw a clip of white socks, Dave
34:27and Nikki smokes getting hair transplants.
34:30And he was like, yeah.
34:31Like, am I supposed to be like pumped about that?
34:34It was not anything geared towards me.
34:36Me and Dave had another conversation.
34:39This was maybe three weeks ago about something that happened
34:42outside of the bar stool bar.
34:44I wasn't going to make it public.
34:46Cause I was like, it's just going to make like, um, obviously I don't want to make
34:49the bar look bad, but, um, not me, but someone else had like posted a clip of
34:56that and he was just upset about that.
34:58He's like, if you have a problem with someone that happens at the bar, still
35:00bar go directly to me and talk about it.
35:03Cause at the end of the day, I own the bar.
