Upon the release of the episode, fans flocked to Barstool’s social media to express their excitement. Comments ranged from admiration to playful critiques, with one fan noting, “Watched the clip. Didn’t sound like Dave as the voice actor. Funny clip still, ”while another enthusiast proclaimed, “That’s awesome! Can’t wait to see it!”A third player added, “Ok, that’s pretty cool!”
