Donny saying apples to oranges instead of Tomato Tomahto was so perfect
I love how Titus calls Cheah out—there’s just no way this isn’t a bit from him. Cheah might be the best rage-bait engagement farmer on this app, and he absolutely knows what he’s doing with that chair tweet.
Dean seeing every pitch like its a beach ball at the moment.
“You’re debating like a concussed Pop Warner player” is one of Dean’s absolute best. I can’t hold it together in public rn
My favorite part of the Yak is the times you hear Zah dying laughing in the booth
