My Top 5 Moments From Barstool Beach House
Damn, I can’t believe Barstool Beach House is over. Four weeks felt like four minutes and somehow also four years at the same time. Hands down, it was the best month of my life. Never in a million years did I think I’d have the official green light to openly get fucked up, hook up with coworkers, and call it “work”… but that’s exactly what happened. And honestly? I couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out.
The drama, the chaos, the laughs, the love it all came together in this absolute shit show of a beautiful clip show. There were so many moments that narrowing it down to five felt borderline impossible. I’ll probably end up rewatching clips, shaking my head, and asking myself, “How the hell did I not include that one?” But for now, here’s my personal Top 5 from Barstool Beach House:
5. “Does Anyone Have My Vape?”
Probably the most viral moment of the trip and honestly one of the funniest things I’ve ever witnessed in real life. The beauty wasn’t even just the clip itself, but the buildup to it. Dante had been stressing all day about no one showing up to his set, so me and Katic went around telling random people that Diplo was downstairs just to fill the dance floor. Shockingly, it didn’t work. By the time we made it back, there were maybe five of us when Ella grabbed the mic, asked the bar if anyone had her vape… and the beat dropped right on cue. Me and Katic’s reaction says it all. Pure, unplanned perfection.
4. Katic Pulls a Girl by Drawing Plays
I’ve seen guys run some wild pickup tactics in my life, but this one was different. My guy straight up grabbed a whiteboard, started breaking down blocking assignments, and somehow turned that into making out with a girl. Was she in it for the cameras? Probably. But the fact that he wrapped up the play call with “So… you wanna make out or something?” and it worked? That’s Hall of Fame behavior. Could not have been prouder.
3. Meek Phil’s 8 Green Teas Cure Autism
There is only one Meek Phil, and the man continues to prove it every single time he steps out. We ordered a tray of eight green tea shots….. for the table, obviously. Any normal human being would’ve asked who they were for. Not Phil. He just locked in, assumed they were all his, and threw back every single one like it was nothing. No hesitation. No remorse. Just greatness.
2. Annika Checks a Troll in Real Life
I’ve seen Annika pull off some fire outfits, but nothing turned me on more than watching her roast this troll face to face. This clown had been making videos all week shitting on the cast, even got embarrassed by Katic the week before, and then had the audacity to show up saying, “No beef, I’m just a fan.” Yeah, no shot. Annika cut him down with one of the coldest, most confident checkmates I’ve ever seen. I’ll be honest… lifelong erection secured.
1. My Conversation With Dante
In my totally biased opinion, this is the clip of the show. Not because I’m in it, but because of how completely unhinged Dante sounds while somehow believing we’re the crazy ones. I’ve watched this five minute exchange more than any other clip in my life, and it kills me every single time. It wasn’t just funny, it was art. One of the greatest interactions I’ve ever been a part of, period.
