Nailed it

Juan Benet Ramsey is WAY too clever to be something a player came up with. I feel like that should have been obvious.
Keenan
Was it the Raptor that distracted Devin Booker mid free throws? That should earn him a spot in SBP

My favorite part of this episode is when they said Sean was handsome

The coyote is goblin mode 😂😂

Sean did mantiscalco before mantiscalco - “triple venti mocha choca frappa” is literally a joke mantiscalco does today in 2022

It doesn’t make any sense that Disney keeps giving the part to Bang Rodgeman when Mr. Shonk Lemons is sitting right there
Marc Davis
Forget sebastian maniscalco... I want to just clemdawg do sebastian the crab
Rizzo
Lakers are chic fil a cause they're big and evil and everyone kinda hates them but also sort of can't help but enjoy it
The Flagrant Ones
You can find it on the livestream post for the video or brawlers tiers.

In defense of Chuck the Condor: he’s a good dancer; kids love him; he has a younger brother (or son?); he has lots of outfits; I once saw him do the crate pyramid challenge and successfully dunk off the top level (on his birthday no less)!

How does one watch this live stream

The disrespect to the Phoenix Gorilla and Benny the Bull is the angriest I’ve ever been listening to this podcast
The Flagrant Ones
No plans to release it as a podcast at this time. The video stream is available on the video tier.

Perfect call back opportunity for a Sebastian impression- Do Sean's classic "got a safe space for you, snowflake... 6 feet under. REAL safe down there."
Andrew Doerfler
juan benet ramsey just like me fr fr
Rocky Choad
Is the livestream ep going to be released as audio only?
Sammyfein
The BrooklyKnight (not a typo, it was actually spelled that way) was such an incredible travesty for us Nets fans, we went from the arguably GOATed (without sauce, probably? What do y’all think?) Sly Fox, to a non-cartoon, Sauron-looking knight MFer with armor and a sword. I hope the Nets decide to do a mascot again in the future

Corny-ass Nick Wiger

Hey Hayes, happy Thursday, hope everything is going great in Los Angeles! I know you said not to bring it up, but I just had to mention that a couple of years back I made a $19 donation so that you'd do an impression of the Grape Lady and you never did. Totally fine, I understand that you just got overwhelmed with requests (!) so no hard feelings, just send the $19 back whenever you have a chance. God bless.

The corny man himself
