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’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.
Mangold told the truth, the Yak really does bring so much brightness to my life and to those of many others. The ability to find a sense of community through pure joy and laughter is something I never thought I needed until finding this show. As someone who watches everyday hearing the news of Mangolds passing yesterday was especially hard and then to hear about beef today makes it truly as sad day for Barstool and our community. My thoughts and prayers go out to their families and to you guys on the Yak that bring this community together for us to enjoy day in and day out. Love you guys!
As someone from the UK, I thank the yak for introducing me to people like beef and mangold. Love getting to know an eclectic array of unique people and sharing in the highs and genuinely share the grief in the unfortunate lows. Love to the yak, yakkers and beef and mangolds family. Shout out Stanko as well. and fuck the chat
