Insights
1The 12-Hour Yak Promise Resurfaces
An old clip from February 2021 reveals a promise by The Yak crew to host a 12-hour show if their YouTube channel reached 100,000 subscribers. With the channel currently at 81,500 subscribers, the crew acknowledges the outstanding commitment, discussing potential formats and challenges for such a marathon broadcast.
A Twitter user flagged an old episode where the 12-hour Yak promise was made upon reaching 100,000 subscribers. The current subscriber count is 81,500.
2Ben Mintz Pranked Live on Radio Over 'Vandy Whistler' Incident
Following Ben Mintz's viral confrontation with the 'Vandy Whistler' at an SEC baseball game, The Yak crew orchestrates a series of prank calls to Mintz while he is live on a Birmingham radio show. Callers invent increasingly absurd stories of the Whistler's heroism, such as saving a child and curing a brain tumor, to undermine Mintz's stance.
The Yak crew calls into WJOX in Birmingham where Mintz is a guest, with callers 'Doug from West Point, Mississippi' and 'Shel from Murphy'sboro, Tennessee' fabricating stories about the Vandy Whistler saving lives.
3Kate's Accidental Edible Adventure at a Military 'Top Gun' Screening
Kate recounts her experience attending a special military screening of the 'Top Gun' movie on the USS Intrepid after consuming a 10mg edible given to her by Chaps. Unaccustomed to edibles, she describes a night of intense paranoia, visual distortions, and social anxiety while surrounded by high-ranking military personnel in dress uniforms.
Kate details feeling her mouth was '3 feet across,' her heart 'pounding,' and struggling with basic tasks like using the bathroom or talking to officers, all while on a battleship.
4Frank the Tank's Edible Experience and Unfiltered Commentary
Guest Frank the Tank consumes a 10mg edible live on air, leading to a gradual and humorous shift in his demeanor. His commentary becomes increasingly disjointed and observational, culminating in a series of bizarre insights and non-sequiturs, much to the amusement of the hosts.
Frank takes a 10mg edible at noon. Throughout the segment, his eyes become peaceful, he makes observations like 'The Yak backwards is K,' and struggles with basic wordplay.
5The 'Hanging Wedgie' Wheel Punishment
The Yak introduces an 'elimination wheel' to determine which cast member will receive a 'hanging wedgie' as a punishment. The tension builds as names are removed, eventually leaving Chay as the recipient, who expresses a mix of apprehension and a desire for 'content.'
The wheel is spun multiple times, eliminating various cast members until Chay's name is the last remaining, making him the subject of the hanging wedgie.
