00:45It's the RUNDOWN.
00:46It is Tuesday, January 7th, 2025.
00:51Damn.
00:52I had to look at the corner.
00:53I did not know.
00:54That's a full week of 2025 in the books.
00:56Wow.
00:57Yep.
00:58Is it?
00:59I guess.
01:00Yeah, yeah.
01:01No, yeah, it is.
01:01But it's weird because it's a Tuesday.
01:02Yeah.
01:03I get it.
01:04It's seven days in.
01:05Seven days in.
01:06How's it been?
01:07Pretty mediocre so far.
01:09But I will say we chose
01:12we could either have a giant Christmas party
01:13or catered lunches all of January.
01:15We all picked catered lunches.
01:17That's right.
01:18It's been a highlight of every workday.
01:19I wouldn't go to the party.
01:21I've never been to a barstool Christmas party.
01:22Till like 8.15.
01:24That's you?
01:25Yeah, I'd show up 7.30, out by 8.15.
01:27I would go and embarrass myself
01:29and maybe lose my job.
01:30So we all lucked out.
01:31Or end up with pizza like you did with Large
01:35whenever you had the 40 hands.
01:37The old New York Christmas parties were, yeah.
01:39That was the thing.
01:40Which is why it's for the best for doing the lunches.
01:42It's been nice.
01:43Yeah, I'd get drunk and end up hooking up
01:44with Chuck Naso or something.
01:46Yeah.
01:47That happens every time.
01:48But anyways, let's get to the topics.
01:51A bombshell lawsuit from a former Fox News hairstylist,
01:54let's just skip Bayless,
01:56offered her a million and a half for sex.
01:59And in that lawsuit, it also brought up Joy Taylor,
02:03who I believe's brother was Jason Taylor, the dolphin?
02:08I have no idea.
02:09But Joy Taylor, she used her sexuality to get jobs
02:13from a network executive.
02:15She was sleeping with him.
02:17She was also sleeping with her then, your future co-host.
02:20Is this like confirmed?
02:21No, that's what it said in the lawsuit.
02:23Okay.
02:25That seems like a weird,
02:27it seems like a weird, what do you call it?
02:30Ricochet shot.
02:31She's going for Skip Bayless, but also Joy is a whore.
02:34And then she complimented Colin Cowherd,
02:36said he's been nothing but respectful.
02:39So it's interesting.
02:42If any of it is true, there is some damning evidence,
02:44like her co-host Emmanuel Acho, is that his name?
02:47Acho.
02:48Acho, he deleted a lot of tweets mentioning her
02:52and videos with her.
02:54And none of them were like, oh, we had sex.
02:56No, none of them were just like, hey, I fucked Joy.
02:58Right, right.
02:59But yeah, that's a little bit damning.
03:02But Skip Bayless, I think his yearly salary
03:04was four million, five million, a lot of money.
03:07But offering 1.5 for one little romp?
03:11There's not a person, well,
03:14there's not a person on earth
03:15that I would wanna pay $1.5 million to have sex with.
03:17Who are you thinking of?
03:19Who?
03:19Like historical.
03:20You'd have to go historical.
03:21Yeah.
03:22Teddy Roosevelt.
03:24Oh, wow.
03:25He would manhandle you.
03:25Yeah, rough rider.
03:27Rough rider.
03:28But like 1.5 million back then would be so much money.
03:33Yeah, it's probably like a $8 million romp.
03:36Yeah, wow.
03:37Which one of you was telling me,
03:38because Skip Bayless is married, right?
03:39So yes, that's what the hairstylist said to him.
03:43She said, Skip, you're married.
03:45And he said, aren't you Muslim?
03:48I bet your dad had four wives.
03:50Jeez.
03:51Whoa.
03:52His dad died recently.
03:53Oh.
03:54And then he like clammed up
03:55and she walked out of the room.
03:57Not great.
03:58Yeah, that's the end of the proposition.
03:59Who would have thought Skip Bayless possible scumbag?
04:02I don't know.
04:04Somebody was telling me, I'm paraphrasing here,
04:05but he was on part of my take and talked about
04:08like him and his wife have separate bedrooms
04:10and he told her.
04:11He always tweets about his wife though.
04:12He seems like a wife guy, Ernestine.
04:14Is that her name?
04:15I think that's her name.
04:16He always tweets about her.
04:17I think he's been married multiple times
04:18and he did tell his wife like sports come before you.
04:22Like when they first started dating.
04:24That's any red-blooded American.
04:25True, that's true.
04:27You gotta lay that down.
04:29Yeah.
04:30But yeah, that's all.
04:31Fox seems to be falling apart.
04:33Jason Whitlock, who used to work there,
04:35said he never fell for her giant rack and peanut butter skin.
04:39Jesus Christ.
04:41Oh, God.
04:43Even T.O. was like, that was out of pocket.
04:45Yeah, T.O. was like, hey man.
04:49Or maybe it was Antonio Brown that T.O. was like,
04:51that's out of pocket.
04:52I think it was.
04:53Was it?
04:54Yeah, it's because he was like,
04:54nobody tried to fuck Jemele Hill.
04:57Oh, wow.
04:58And T.O. was like, that's a little out of pocket.
04:59That's a little too much.
05:01But it's gonna be interesting
05:02to see what happens over there.
05:03Also, the ESPN exec, have you seen a photo of the guy?
05:08No.
05:09That's a midlife crisis if I've ever seen one happening.
05:12He's like 70 years old, but like big coif of like
05:16bleached blonde.
05:17Oh, good volume.
05:18It looks like a wig almost,
05:19but you see the picture and you go,
05:22well, that checks out a little.
05:23If true, it checks out.
05:26Whatever.
05:27Yeah, if you're gonna be a scumbag,
05:28I feel like you have to have regular ass hair.
05:30If you want to blend in.
05:31If you want to be an asshole,
05:32at least have regular hair.
05:33But assholes are so drawn to weird,
05:37like you said, coifs.
05:39A lot of coifs.
05:39A lot of coifs in the asshole community.
05:41Or push back.
05:42Yes.
05:43Brandon Walker.
05:44Or bald.
05:45Damn.
05:47Enough about scumbags.
05:48Let's go on to the next topic.
05:50Kim Jong-un.
05:51Also a scumbag.
05:53Good coif.
05:54Big coif.
05:55Huge coif.
05:57Maybe the best in the biz.
05:58Yeah.
05:59Say what you want about the guy.
06:00Volume incredible.
06:02Kim Jong-un has banned hot dogs.
06:04People caught with hot dogs
06:06will be thrown in North Korean labor camps.
06:09Is there a reason why?
06:11Did they say why he did this?
06:12To American.
06:14Oh, is that really?
06:15I would bet,
06:16we haven't clicked open the article about it,
06:19but I would bet that it's to American.
06:21Because it's the national pastime.
06:22Is that like how we called French fries freedom fries
06:25when France wouldn't pack us up at first
06:26in the Middle East?
06:28We're like, fuck France.
06:28They're freedom fries now.
06:30Is that what he's doing?
06:30Yeah.
06:31Leather jackets, microwaves, Bibles,
06:33designer shoes, sports cards, weed,
06:34iPhone, slang, porn, K-pop, and YouTube.
06:37Yeah.
06:38That's because it's westernized.
06:39Wait, jeans have been banned?
06:40And they used a Chicago dog on there.
06:41Wow.
06:42They banned jeans?
06:43Wait, let me see that list again.
06:45So they banned jeans, leather jackets,
06:48microwaves, Bibles, designer shoes,
06:51sports cards, weed, iPhones.
06:53They banned slang.
06:55Imagine getting high wearing jeans
06:57and trying to microwave a hot dog.
06:59You'd get nuclear strikes right there.
07:01While you're playing some K-pop and jerking off.
07:03But you know he likes all this shit.
07:05Yes.
07:06Did you know North Korea,
07:07him and his dad has like the most,
07:09had the most extensive movie library
07:13from around the world in the entire world?
07:15No.
07:16He was like a known cinephile.
07:17Wine and movie, it was like an incredible movie guy.
07:21And actually kidnapped two actors
07:24from South Korea once that he wanted to make live together.
07:26Anyways.
07:27Yeah, they did all kinds of kidnappings.
07:28And Kim Jong-un, also huge movie guy.
07:31Yeah.
07:32But he liked his movies with cheese.
07:34And he ate so much cheese it almost gave him the gout.
07:36Wow.
07:37Yeah, I'll be damned.
07:38The disease of kings.
07:38Oh yeah, he's accusing western culture
07:40of infiltrating the, that's tough.
07:42We covered this already,
07:43but the North Korean soldiers
07:44who were going to Ukraine to fight,
07:47they all got caught gouging on porn.
07:50Yeah, they were jerking off big time.
07:52Were they really?
07:53Oh yeah.
07:54It's a whole thing.
07:54Huge jerking off.
07:56Yeah, I could just see him enacting prima nocta
07:58where he goes up to weddings,
08:00he's like, I want those hot dogs.
08:01Yeah.
08:02Those hot dogs are with me tonight.
08:03That's the most surprising aspect.
08:05He probably just wants all the hot dogs for himself.
08:07That's it, yeah.
08:08He has hot dog bowls like Chipotle.
08:10What a dickhead.
08:11Yeah, I'll be damned.
08:13I don't care if I get canceled.
08:14Fuck you, Kim Jong-un.
08:15Whoa, brave.
08:16Oh, Nick, chill, man.
08:17Okay, you're right.
08:19I might, yeah.
08:20Nah, he's a, oh well.
08:23Yeah.
08:24Me and Donnie interviewed a dude
08:25that escaped from North Korea twice a couple weeks ago.
08:28He escaped twice?
08:28Yeah, it's on the Drop a Pin pod,
08:29make sure you subscribe.
08:31But he was talking about in labor camps,
08:33they only, he would eat 50 grams of corn three times a day,
08:3750 grains, like kernels.
08:39And then whenever they were done,
08:42because they were so hungry,
08:43they would shift through their own shit
08:45to eat the kernels again,
08:47because they were so hungry.
08:48Jesus Christ, how'd he go twice?
08:50Huh?
08:51He escaped once when he was like 15,
08:54and his dad lived in China.
08:56His dad was half Chinese, half North Korean.
08:58So he was allowed to go to China.
09:00He escaped and went across the river.
09:02His dad had a taxi waiting for him,
09:04took him to his house.
09:05And then like three months later,
09:07his Chinese neighbor heard him talking
09:11in the North Korean dialect,
09:13turned him in, they came, got him,
09:15put him in a prison camp for nine months.
09:17And then after that, he escaped again.
09:20God damn.
09:21And then he finally got to America.
09:23That is insane.
09:24Like years later.
09:25It's one of the craziest stories I've ever heard.
09:28Listen to it on Drop a Pin.
09:28Drop a Pin.
09:29Great podcast, appreciate it.
09:31Next up, Shaq versus Dwight Howard.
09:33I love this.
09:34Outside of sports, obviously, two retired centers.
09:37Shaq just tweeted at Dwight Howard.
09:39Just randomly out of the blue,
09:41or did something prompt it?
09:42Yeah, I think Dwight Howard went on a podcast
09:45and said some slight shade about Shaq.
09:49Because they've had like a beef going back
09:51from when Dwight Howard wore the Superman cape.
09:55That's during the dunk contest.
09:57Yeah, because they were talking about Dwight.
09:59I think when Dwight came in the league,
10:00he said something like he wants to be the best big man
10:03in Orlando Magic history.
10:04And that's where Shaq got drafted number one overall too.
10:07So they've always had this like back and forth.
10:09Shaq got really pissed about the Superman thing.
10:11He really did.
10:12Because he, I mean, Shaq has had this-
10:13That's a pretty common nickname
10:14for people that are good at something.
10:16Yeah.
10:17But he, I mean, did you see the MTV Cribs tour of his house?
10:19It's Superman shit everywhere.
10:21This whole house is Superman themed.
10:22Like he made it his whole,
10:23his like comforter on his giant circular bed
10:26was the Superman logo.
10:28Got a huge tattoo of Superman on his arm.
10:30Yeah, so okay.
10:30So he's very protective of the Superman thing.
10:32Very protective of the Superman.
10:33So he just tweeted at Dwight Howard.
10:36The fact you think I care about you is funny,
10:39but I won't ever bring your name up again.
10:41Sensitive big man.
10:42A jokester that can't take a joke.
10:45Won't ever say your name again.
10:48Ever.
10:48Ever again.
10:49Damn.
10:50Have a great day and now you have been deleted.
10:53Have a great day.
10:54Hashtag I never cared.
10:56Hashtag trust me.
10:57I gotta say, not a great way to show you don't care.
10:59There's like 40 more hashtags.
11:01You can't send somebody a paragraph
11:03and then hashtag it I never cared.
11:04Don't care.
11:05You're done.
11:06We're done.
11:07There's like legit probably 20 more hashtags.
11:09I will admit saying you've been deleted is tough.
11:13All right, you're deleted.
11:15You're fucking deleted.
11:15That's a Brandon Walker move.
11:17So wait, what did Dwight Howard say back?
11:19This is what I like about sports.
11:20This is when I get interested.
11:23Dwight Howard said, I know you care
11:24cause yo insecure ass been hating
11:27and talking shit for 20 years.
11:32That's really stupid.
11:33That's like the, that was just like the E
11:35on the top of an eye chart.
11:37I'll go letter by a tie.
11:41You too big to be this insecure,
11:43which I agree with Shaq could just like ride off
11:46into the sunset and just do his spots
11:48and be the best center of all time.
11:50He's doing stuff with the general.
11:52He's DJing.
11:53He has his own line of office chairs at Staples.
11:56And for my money, he's the most dominant player
11:58ever to play in the NBA.
11:59Ever.
12:00There's no debate over that really.
12:02And like early Shaq would have been amazing now
12:06cause he could run the floor.
12:08Right.
12:08Like he wasn't always that huge, huge, huge.
12:12It's Shaq really, really, really does crave the limelight.
12:18Oh, big time.
12:20So Dwight Howard was just on Dancing with the Stars.
12:22The rest of the quote, I think he's right.
12:24Jealous of Kobe, Penny, Dwight, jealous of Charles too.
12:27Go, go move around big, lazy, insecure ass.
12:32I still have that long five paragraph direct message
12:34you sent to me a couple of years ago
12:35telling me that I'm not that great to hate
12:38and you still doing it.
12:39It's 2025, grow the hell up.
12:40The 52 year old thing is where that's a checkmate.
12:43Like you're 52 years old.
12:45I think that's like a default response.
12:48Like, oh, you're 40.
12:49You can't do that.
12:50You're 30.
12:51You can't, like, I don't know.
12:52It's almost like tweeting back a picture
12:53of somebody's profile picture.
12:55But 52, 52 is a little right.
12:58It happens to me all the time.
12:59I get a 52 year old ass.
13:02I'm like, I'm only 30 something.
13:03Please stop.
13:03Somebody called me a boomer the other day
13:06and that really fucked me up.
13:08But I also do like when super rich,
13:11well off people who don't need to be doing it
13:13also have low enough emotional intelligence
13:15to get sucked in because like I'm dumb
13:17and I get sucked in.
13:18You catch me on a Sunday, I'll start tweeting at people
13:21when I know better.
13:22I know better, but every now and then
13:24I'll still get sucked in.
13:25And it just feels good to see somebody really well off
13:28and better than me get sucked in.
13:30Not as much as you used to, though.
13:31Because I enjoy it.
13:32No, no, I'm getting better.
13:33You used to be a big responder.
13:34Oh, when she first started here?
13:35If I was hungover on a Sunday scary
13:38and you, like, called me ugly in the DMs,
13:39I would, like, I would, like, I would make a whole,
13:43like, fine, I'll go tell where you are.
13:45I'll go tell the McDonald's you work at
13:46that you said I have a mustache.
13:47God damn.
13:48But then, yeah, no, it was embarrassing.
13:51It was bad.
13:52It was only, like, the first two, three, four years
13:53I worked there.
13:54That's when I got over it.
13:55It's fine.
13:56I kind of want to do it.
13:57It feels good every now and then.
13:58Okay.
13:59I'm back.
14:00Yeah.
14:01If you do it, if you're not anonymous and you do it,
14:04you have to be prepared for hungover Kate to come.
14:06All right, let that be a warning.
14:08Let that be a warning to you.
14:09But yeah, that's a nice, that's a good beef, you know?
14:13Yeah, I enjoy this.
14:14I think Dwight won that round.
14:16I do, too.
14:17I also like to picture, because I know,
14:20they both have kids, right?
14:21Oh, yeah.
14:22I know that their kids are like, dad, come on.
14:25Especially Shaq's kids are probably like, dad, come on.
14:27Please, dad.
14:29Or they're like in the family group text like,
14:31dad's at it again.
14:32He's fucking whatever.
14:33Anyway.
14:34Surviving Barstool is back tonight.
14:38Yesterday's episode was All Time.
14:40Yes.
14:41The Pink Wedding.
14:42Horrifying thumbnail of Jeff Delo.
14:44Did you guys see that?
14:45Yeah, it was.
14:45I can't believe Jeff Delo signed off on that.
14:49I still don't know who won.
14:52Well, that hasn't been decided yet.
14:53I know, but like, you've been working here, I would know.
14:56No, I mean, the last one hasn't even been decided yet,
14:57because it'll be live.
14:59Yeah, we don't know who won.
15:00Yeah, no one knows.
15:01They don't even know.
15:02It's next week.
15:02I've been watching and I haven't.
15:04Holy shit.
15:06I'll be damned.
15:07Yeah, nobody knows.
15:08Holy fuck.
15:09There is no winner yet.
15:10Kate has no idea.
15:11So I've been tweeting that and saying that,
15:13and I'm like, I still don't know who won.
