RIP beef and mangold. What Mangold said was true. The YAK is truly a bright spot for so many people every day. Love you guys
Out of respect to Nick and Beef this will probably go down as the shortest episode of the yak ever. W Big Cat. Way to lead. RIP to two GOAT humans
Valid crashout from big cat this chat is brutal.. can’t imagine how they are feeling. We got to see just a small part of how incredible both these guys are. Rip nick and beef
Mangold was one of us. He clearly watched every single episode of the Yak and loved the show as much as anyone. I’m glad that he got to tell the boys last week how much the Yak meant to him on behalf of fans for whom this show helps get through difficult times. Rest in peace to a Yak superfan.
Respect to big cat for calling chat out. RIP Beef and Mangold
Thank you guys for taking care of yourselves and making a short show, while also going live in the first place for us. Yaks are a huge part of my day. Thank you all for what you do
Shoutout to BC for putting those commenters in their place. RIP to Beef and Mangold
I trust your guy’s judgement in these situations but I just want to say that fans would have understood if there wasn’t a show today. Hope you are all okay and thanks for the show
I hate that they spend even 1 second listening to/reading chat trolls....The dozens of people who watch LIVE are not a true representation of the fans. Ignore the trolls, the silent/quiet majority are with you. Much love.
I’m so glad Nick was able to come on the Yak one last time. It’s a gut-punch to get that news and then Beef in quick succession. Hat-off handshakes to the big gentleman.
