About this episode

The episode discusses fantasy football lessons, tattoos, the USMNT's World Cup exit, and Big 12 football.

DK has an old sailor tattoo rotting on his arm that reads “Volume Is King” (03:12) under a rusted anchor. So many quarterbacks can run now that Craig is starting to doubt a five-year tattoo (11:25). Watch 'Wild Hogs' to connect properly with DK’s years-old chest tattoo (18:24); Heifetz will always buy the dip (45:29). Dive in to get the full list of the crew’s Summer 2026 Memento Tattoos, new Polaroids to add to the catalog (48:49), Monster Energy Big 12 (01:07:59), and USMNT’s embarrassing World Cup exit (01:10:34). Craig also continued his Millennial Banger takeover of DK’s band mentions after shocking the world with Usher’s "Love in This Club" on Monday’s episode. Write all of this down!
