Guaranteed Human.
Hey guys, it's us.
The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe.
I'm Kevin.
And I'm Nick.
And guess what?
We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it.
But, you know, tired and sick.
Tired and sick.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you.
you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life?
That is not the look of an innocent man. Is everyone lying to me about who they are?
I felt such desperation. I felt it was what I had to do.
Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, it's Edwin Castro, also known as Castro 1021.
And I'm Kunky, his best friend, and business manager.
And we've got a new show called The 1021 Podcast.
I'm taking you behind the scenes on how I became one of Twitch's most popular streamers.
We also love sports.
And with the World Cup right around the corner,
we'll be breaking down the biggest storylines ahead of the big tournament here in the USA.
Listen to the 1021 podcast on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome to the only pod that is not chopped.
Inside the bus.
You have myself, Jack, Cooper to my left, Garrett, Mitch, J.P. Jared, and Chopzilla himself, Matt Malone.
Our new official producer.
Let's go.
Congratulations.
Grats on getting the job.
We were discussing this early.
earlier in the shop, our producer, Matt, is eerily similar to a local internet celebrity.
Steiny of the Knelt Boys.
Local.
What?
Local.
Local.
Local internet celebrity?
I don't know, dude.
I'm just saying.
Worldwide.
International.
He's in Israel.
But yeah.
All right.
He is.
We've got some things to discuss today.
We might go over Jim's stereotypes.
Yep.
We are going to go over the appropriate length for men shorts and why.
there should be a universal length
that is not sold in stores.
We'll get to that.
And then maybe we're going to rank our top three
most chop humans that we can think of.
But we'll save that from the end.
We should mug a little bit.
And Matt, Matt will be God tier.
So he's not involved in that.
But let's just get into the gym stereotypes.
JP, I feel like you should lead this.
Yeah.
You share a lot of passion behind this.
The other day, I was at the gym.
And I felt moved to,
try to take a national stance on a band that I think needed to happen.
And the ban that I put out there on my Twitter was,
as of I think the end of September,
three inch in-seam shorts will no longer be allowed at gyms.
Then by the end of December,
people that wear their hats like this,
like Matt at the gym,
will also be banned.
And the response was pretty decent.
I think a lot of people rallied around it.
I thought about saying even five inch in seam shorts because they don't really fit for me,
but I know a couple of people around the bus wear the five inch seam shorts, so I didn't want to.
It's nothing that I would like stand 10 to.
I don't have anything to argue.
I just like five inch in seam shorts, but I'm like, I stand with you.
If you said five inchers were out, I would even stand with you.
I'd still wear them.
What's the reasoning behind you liking them?
Truly, just like anything longer, like because I've owned other shorts too, I just feel like I look goofy.
and that's like literally it.
I don't feel good to five inch in-seeing shorts either.
No, I'm saying anything longer than five-inch.
Oh, you do feel good.
This is not an...
I just get a large.
Right.
But this isn't a take I'm willing to be like you should...
Like, it's just like I like them.
Yeah.
But...
Well, that's what I was saying earlier.
Like, they're pretty short.
I don't know why six inch in-team shorts are not a universal thing.
It goes five and then seven.
And we have even eight for like the N-1 players.
Target has seen for Mitch.
Yeah, for me.
Mitch is versatile in the short game.
I have plenty of different shorts.
What are you at today?
I don't know.
He was pretty standard today.
No, those are seven.
They're usually two of shins.
Are those seven?
No, that's just more bare.
I don't know.
These are just a large.
Mm.
I don't buy.
O.G.
Yeah, I don't buy shorts off of the.
Yeah.
Or whatever.
But like the one, the one pair of shorts that we're all talking about that are like,
and one that those are five.
Yeah.
Those are from college.
They were like, like our team store.
Like you had to buy them just kind of like,
they had like Susky on.
Did you have to buy them?
Did you have to buy them?
Do you have to buy them?
Yeah, we had to buy them.
You played football for the school.
Yeah, I know.
So D3,
that's crazy.
D3,
they can't give you any,
like, clothes or anything.
So for Susquehanna,
we got two T-shirts and two shorts,
and those were what we worked out in an orange and a maroon.
And they had your number,
like, back here.
So you had to buy any Susky gear you see me wearing.
I had to buy.
That sucks.
Susquehanna,
Coach Perk,
you should give me gear because of the amount of,
some updated gear would be nice.
Three and a year.
because I'm wearing
the stuff all the time.
You're getting free publicity.
I know you guys use me for recruiting.
Like, shout out my jersey right over there.
Big one four.
But yeah, I need new Susky gear.
But yes, those shorts that are down to my knees.
When are you going to put those in the rafters?
Never.
I love those shorts.
The only thing is, like, I was going to say the only thing that sucks about them
because you guys think the length sucks.
I like it.
But like you can see, like if I'm wearing like black underwear,
you can see through.
You can see the outline of it too.
I was going to say if you're wearing no underwear.
Then you can just hang in brain.
That's a long hanging brain in those shorts.
It's fire though,
dude.
Are those 11 inch?
Dude,
they're legitimately down to like here.
Dude,
they're not even like,
they're not only down to there.
They're like balloon pants.
They're baggy.
Yeah.
They're so comfy.
In high school,
I think it was either my freshman or sophomore year,
doing summer workouts.
We're all of us were so stoked to get our shirt and
shorts that we were going to be wearing and bro i was like one of the last people to get them and so
i had some xl shorts but even then i was like yo this actually goes so hard i probably look
so tough we had uh we had a similar thing at mars hill where we got our workout gear you got your
practice gear sweats but everyone got an excel depending on your height size universal i mean if you were
like one team one dream we didn't have like a massive guy on our team weight wise but
but like everyone got XL.
So we had some dudes that are like 5-6, 5-7 rocking long-ass shorts.
Kind of goes hard in lacrosse.
It was so, I mean, guys would end up just rolling them,
but like my sweats were XL.
And then if you practice and it was snowing or raining,
it's so heavy.
Yeah.
And you're just like, you know,
the whole idea our coach said was like,
you wear heavier gear.
Like when you practice on game day,
you feel a little lighter.
Yeah, I mean,
my favorite pair of sweatpants I have are like these black pair
that I've had since like freshman year of college.
They are baggy as hell.
Like I don't even wear them into the shop because they're like the heel and like the leg is just
starting to get frayed and stuff.
And I know I'll just get worked for having them wearing them.
But I love.
I love like.
First cold day, please wear it.
Like how Jack loves like baggy t-shirts and like baggy sweatshirts.
I like that, but like for like sweatpants and for like sweatshirts and stuff like that.
I just want to be like wrapped up.
Like a skin tight tea and then baggy pants.
He likes the viral.
dance videos on TikTok and people are in those dance studios and they have the baggy.
I think those pants are.
I do like baggy pants.
You all know those brown pants I wear that are literally like triple XL.
God, those are so comfortable.
Are they actually triple XL?
No, they're actually like my size but made that look like that.
But they look like.
My buddy Sam, he bought five XL pants recently.
It's like this guy who like sells them.
What do you do with the waist?
I think he's got a drawstring on it.
Okay, so that's how mine is too.
Yeah.
And then he wears E.
pairs it with a 5xLT.
And he's like,
I mean,
he's an average size guy.
We might have to slay me.
I might have to hop on this.
Is equipment issue day in high school not one of the best days ever?
I didn't have it.
Really?
What do you mean you didn't have it?
Like I'm talking about you.
You just get like your jersey.
I mean,
stuff like that.
Yeah.
I mean,
I guess that was fun and like getting your practice penny was fun,
but you just walked into your locker room and then your equipment was
Oh,
we didn't have a locker room.
We were a club sport this time.
We didn't drive 10 minutes off.
Yeah, went to state.
What up?
So you had to buy your gear.
M-U-S?
Literally the private school in Memphis.
He stepped outside the box.
And beat the, what do you do?
Oh, wow.
I thought you were talking about Matt.
No, no, Matt Richardson.
Don't get me on that, dude.
Hey, do your job.
Hey, so Matt just tried to speak.
Yeah, he's our producer, but you're not supposed to stop.
Just because you're full time.
But, yeah, no, we didn't have it.
Being a club sport, our coach wasn't school-affiliated.
clubs for had a we only got like one game on the school soccer field which was garbage that's dirty
gerald was got arrested the day before yeah it was kind of tight ran from the cops it was awesome what'd y'all do
exhilarating uh just at a house party oh you wear my autograph helmet and then um for golf they didn't like

Hall of fame cleats.
Maybe number one.
The white ones I still wear for flag today.
We might have to do that as a, uh, inside the bus graphic like cleat, like,
cleat like, pick your favorite cleat.
Dude, we should all wear our cleats for an episode.
Click clack.
Just could just come in like a full uniform.
Who was that kid in click clack?
AJ Hawk.
Clay Matthews.
Clay Matthews.
Click clack was like, um,
those black kids.
Yeah, it was.
but what I thought like Vernon Davis
didn't he do it?
It was the Under Armour commercial right?
Yeah.
I don't even know you're all talking about.
I think it was before you were born.
I know AJ Hawkins is in.
Click, Clack.
Protect his house.
Oh.
You know the brand Under Armour?
Yeah.
Under Armour?
Those were the cleats too.
We had the spikes that you had to twist in and out.
The vapors?
No, no, no.
The Underarmic.
Oh, no.
That was like the whole click-clack thing because you get that tool and you like
crank them in.
And then you like you replace them and you just get these.
Oh, for like, like, like Greg Olson was talking about.
You just get these two inch plugs that will just pierce a hand if you step on somebody.
I had insane like high top under Armour cleats in high school.
Did you have the Cam News?
Yes.
Like literally as tall as my socks are.
And they were honestly kind of nasty.
They were like, I remember some of my buddies got them and you're like, yo, those are fire.
They were.
Especially for the cross where it's like, they're already expected us to be douchebags.
It's like, let's just take it up and I.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I was always Adidas, naturally.
I saw read these Adidas cleats from ASU
Yeah
They gave us
They're actually fired
Yeah I had the like
The oddies zeros
That were like six ounces or whatever
Those are the best
But like they
They were so uncomfortable
Yeah
And like cutting in them
And like you feel like your foot's about it
Just go through it
But
I see Jared has his mic down
Because he can't really talk about cleats
Yeah
You do have a funny
Like
Bro has the best kicks in here probably
Yeah
Most expensive
But looking back
You do have a funny
High School story
Of when you were on the track team
Oh, yeah.
Have I not told that on here?
No.
I mean, it's a 10-second story because that's my track career.
I just, I tried out.
My dad's like a big runner.
He was fast.
Yeah, everything was fast except for me.
My dad's like a big runner, so I was like, you know what?
Like, I'm not playing football.
I'm not doing this.
Steps.
I do, yeah, rub the steps.
Slate the day.
Shut out, Mike Beaman.
And I was, I'll do the track team.
Tried out.
I think everyone makes it.
It's mostly like football players condition.
I don't know.
We were like in sixth or seventh grade.
We weren't even in high school.
school yet uh go to all the practices i'm like by far the slowest guy like i try out for the track stuff
and they're like you're not doing that shit so then i think like they decided i'd do some long
distance thing but then the time came for a meet and they're i mean it's a school it's a public school
system we have a million buses and i'm just like oh what time's the meet coach and he's just like
we don't have enough space on the bus for you i was like not enough space on the bus like you got
enough space on the bus and he's like now like the bus is full and then
So that happens, and I'm like, that's fucking crazy.
So then I just see my friends, like, posting videos on the way of the track meet.
Half empty, but, like, they had space on the bus.
I know.
Shout out Coach Flanders.
He's like my friend's dad.
I'm like, I'm close with the guy.
And then I quit the team.
And then, like, the next week, everyone got their gear, like, y'all were saying.
Oh, so I never, like, would I have gotten?
I don't even know how teams work.
Like, would I even know for track.
Like, they got, like, uniforms and, like, I don't know what they got.
And also, like, at our school, you don't get cut.
track and cross country you don't even get cut you just don't compete yeah so is that what i had like
because he didn't say like you're done he was just like you're not coming to the meet
so you could have showed up the next week yeah oh yeah i just quit because i was like so i'm just
i can't compete i was just running to run i'm just running that's how you got into rap that was
true what to rap like filming rap music videos oh yeah yeah i was trying to figure out the
connection yeah because then i just did journalism yeah that was my next choice and then that's what got
I got out of all lacrosse conditioning because golf season was in the fall and it was amazing.
We ain't running to golf.
Was your golf season, did your golf season start before the school started?
Yeah.
So it was done like first week of October?
It would go a little longer because of like regionals, districts, state and all that kind of stuff.
It's warmer down here too.
We did have at least one tournament before school because we would get our lockers early and then
so many times I got to leave school early because of matches.
Yeah, our golf team was like done because in PA gets colder.
Like first week of October and then it's like, oh yeah, we have a golf team.
They're already done.
But like they started two or three weeks before school.
We even started obviously because of the summer and stuff.
We were nasty my senior year.
What's y'all's like most heartbreaking high school loss?
Oh, dude.
Also, side of know, I feel like y'all's school probably had some drip.
For Christian?
Yeah.
What was your mascot?
What were your colors?
Red and black and we were the Cardinals.
Oh, that's why you're a Cardinals fan.
No.
I mean, I didn't play football when I was at Fourth Christian.
I did at Keller and they were whatever, but Fourth Christian had like...
Your grays were bad.
Physical didn't go through.
They had like sickness.
We had sick like blackout uniforms, like a mad black helmet.
Oh, we look good.
Yeah.
I was watching, but we look good.
We had like those underarmour like.
They almost look like Texas Tech.
Yeah.
That's nice.
That old template.
Yeah.
They look good because we were winning.
Right.
I don't know what they look like now.
I was in the locker room after a game for like two hours with like three of my buddies just crying after a game.
It's my senior year.
The Friday night.
It sounds like it sounds like going in his head.
Yeah, bro.
It was like it was our homecoming year.
Our homecoming year.
Yeah.
Homecoming game.
And it was like it was against a team that like we should have kind of.
We should have beat, obviously, but it's the fourth quarter.
We're driving down.
We get into, like, high school field goal range.
Like, it was going to, it was like a 40-yarder.
And we had, like, one of my buddies on the soccer team was our kicker.
So we had, like, a soccer guy that could kick the ball pretty good.
I was the holder.
Go out there.
I dropped the snap.
Oh, no.
Tony Romo.
Yeah, didn't even give our kicker a chance.
Like, the odds of him making it were so slim.
But that's crazy.
Did you try and roll out and, like, hit foul deep or something?
You already know.
It fell to the
Wait, did you, did Fal go to the same high school?
No, I found it through different.
Might as well have.
But like, so, but like,
I was buying.
He didn't, like, it would have been like this longest make he's ever made, like, even in practice.
Yeah.
So, like, but I didn't even give him a chance to, like, try.
So then we went into overtime and we lost in overtime.
And I'm like, this is all my fault.
Oh.
The reason, the reason we're not going to go 500 this year is because of me.
Like, I was mad at you?
What?
Was it?
Was it?
at you? I don't know if he was or not.
He probably still thinks about it.
But yeah.
That was his moment. Can you call him?
No, I don't have his number.
But we went into
the locker room and I was just
down there for like me,
Alec and this other kid.
We were down there for like two or
three hours to the point where my dad had to come down.
He's like, let's go.
Mitch. It's time to, it's time to go.
Put the fries in the bag. But it was
that was my
most heartbreaking.
Oh.
I feel you, man.
Yeah, I was...
And then I went up and like...
Wait, aren't you supposed to schedule like a knockdown team for homecoming?
Like a shitty team?
So you win?
Because it's homecoming?
It was supposed to like so like...
Not to like insult to injury.
For sure.
It wasn't like it wasn't like a knockdown team.
They might have been the knockdown team.
It was a good match.
Yeah.
We were the knockdown team for other team.
Oh really?
Like the team that we were playing like we should...
It was a good...
It was like a good type of game.
You play both ways, obviously?
No, actually I...
My senior.
year I played safety and I played the first game and I didn't like tackling and then my buddy's dad
was our defensive coordinator. He's like, hey, I'm going to take you off the defense. I'm like,
that is completely fine. I'm all that. But I, but I was like a part returner kick returner offense.
So I did everything else. Yeah. Field holder. Yeah. How'd you get that job? I don't know.
I just hands. I just kind of did it a couple times and I could also throw in case we wanted to do like I
punted for a couple games too in case we wanted to run a fake. Um, like it. It's,
It was just, we had like 30, 40 guys on our team.
And there was a point where we almost had to forfeit a game because we only had 26 healthy guys on our team.
Like we were, we were that bad.
It was Jared could have suited up with y'all.
No, for like Jared probably would have played.
I feel like our team was so big in high school.
You and Bradshaw and went there.
All the guys.
All the kids that were playing baseball who we knew were athletes, like they could have played football, but they were like, no, I'm not trying to lose.
And it's like, well, if you help us out, maybe we won't lose.
lose.
Yeah.
It was like the entire school like low key hated the football team because we like sucked.
Did that our team suck too?
Did I ever tell you all about my my most athletic moment against Rashad Bateman in high school?
No.
I didn't tell you about that.
Yeah.
It's it's fake.
I mean, it's a real story.
It's all fabric.
It's a real story.
So like y'all did any of y'all do young life?
Yeah.
So I did young life.
And there's like a pageant at the end of the year.
It's like one guy from each grade.
I don't really even know what the point of it is.
like it's, I don't know, you compete and it's like you do these certain things.
And like the talent show portion, I don't know why I decided.
I was like, I'm just going to get like Rashad.
Like, because I think I was a senior.
So he just graduated.
And he was in town like for Christmas.
And I was like, hey, can my talent just be like, I beat you in every sport on stage?
And he's like, yeah.
So then I like, I just like dunked on him.
I like caught a ball over him.
And then I got to tell.
I was being a make of a kid.
I got to find if someone has a video of that.
I'm about to say there has to be a video.
Because I mean, it was like in front of it.
Just let this guy let me win.
Dude, because it was like,
some of the dudes,
some of the dudes were like actually trying talent stuff.
They're like,
I'm going to juggle.
Like,
I know how to do this.
And I was just like,
I walked up there.
I was like,
I'm going to beat Rashad Bateman in every sport.
And then I just did it for,
you've had a more athletic moment since then, though.
A dad combined,
you showed out.
That was,
that truly was like,
now my,
is this what sports felt like?
We all peaked in high school.
Jared is currently peaking.
He's ascending.
Was your young,
thing like your mr. high school no i was that too i was mr tchs

young life is like a christian group page though it was called like mr christmas something

Oh,

Actually,
senior year I did do it
and...
Yeah,
I took my
name out of the
hat because I was just
going to use it
and that's how I did
my promposal
because they were like,
okay, JP,
the question for everybody
was if you could ask
one person in the world
any question,
who would it be
and what would you ask them?
There we go.
I'll ask Samantha Hamill
if she would go to prom with me.
She said,
I said no.
No.
Just kidding.
I was what I was like prom poses is a good thing.
Did anybody have any cool prom poses?
Oh, dude,
that's a great question.
I only went one time.
I,
and we left early.
Prom was fire,
bro.
Dude,
we went to prom and left early
just to go to the after party.
A prom itself was
so fun.
Oh,
no, dude.
We got to fix y'all's culture
down there.
I was a sophomore going.
That's why I would have went to Ravenwood.
We freaking invented the culture.
Kalia Costa.
I went to Ravenwood.
What was your story, Coop?
My son was not even a,
A prom-posal.
It's like a homecoming.
Like asking me to homecoming.
Mine was homecoming too.
Yeah.
This girl, her name was Blair.
Her dad was the coach for like one of our division rivals.
Head coach.
But she went to Keller.
And like we were cool.
So like I was going to ask her to homecoming.
Get the sign ready.
Like I'm with my boys.
They're kind of like hiding off to the side.
I go knock on her door.
The door opens to like their whole football, like the rival football team.
Like they're having a meeting.
It was like.
And he was there with the science.
Dude, how good football is in Texas, that's even more scary.
Yeah, and they were good.
Like, they were better than Keller.
They were good.
The quarterback was there as the coach's son.
Like, all the scope.
It was just a bunch of,
Kyler Murray.
But they all opened the door and just, like, start laughing.
Oh, my God.
I was like, I thought, like, I thought, like,
I thought, we'd never heard this.
I thought I was stood up by my, like, I thought I was getting prank.
Yeah.
And it was bad.
And then, and I was like, uh, is Blair here?
And they laughed.
and went and shut the door and I was like
I almost like just laughed
yeah yeah
laughing so hard like off to the side I was like
I just got I just got pumped
dude and she opened the door was like surprise
it's happy and yeah like she said yeah
but it was like it was still
because I was like
it was already ruined
you gotta be kidding
dude that her dad opened the door
I'd have been so nervous
I honestly think I would rather her dad open the door
that is the whole like fossil ridge
starting off it's just laughing
that is dude that's
gold though. I guess when you're like 13 14 they're all like seniors juniors they're the
coolest people in the world yeah they're not from my school but like they're right even worse
I'm just like these are like yeah these are legends yeah can I get your autograph
I was like uh I was bad the one I did like I was in journalism too and I like we had our school
paper and for one like I was like our May edition or April edition it's like hey like I was so we
were suit like our journalism class was super like close and like we were friends i was like
do you mind if i ask hannah to prom on like the back of the newspaper
so it went out like so we did bag pages yeah we did it and like it was it like went out to the entire
school and like the entire school knew that i asked hannah to prom so it was actually kind of sick and then
another another another another time another time this was homecoming and it was still hannah i put
like it was like super late and I didn't really want to think of something crazy.
So I put like homecoming on my driveway as we were coming up and she saw it.
No, I just spelled it right.
She saw it.
And she was like, is that how you're going to ask me at homecoming?
I'm like, yeah.
She's like, that's bad.
Oh my God.
So I had to re-ask her.
Oh, yeah.
We dated for like three or four years.
Dude.
Damn.
This one girl.
Sounds great.
She's awesome.
Homecoming was just not a thing at her high.
high school. Yeah. It was almost like
people, I don't even know if there was
a homecoming dance. It was big. Do you guys have any
dances at all? Prong. How'd you
prom? I think we had like a freshman year one. I got
asked to prom my sophomore year and then
I don't think I went
through your senior year. But I went with one of the girls
Jack came with us.
And it was sick. Yeah. And
yeah, we wore
fitted flat bills. Flatbills.
I mean like Falsmore Orioles. I had crazy
long hair that swooped over.
Yeah, it was fun, you know.
It's always cool being the sophomore because you see all like the slutty girls who are like just going after seniors.
Yeah, it's like, I'm here too.
But for different reasons.
I'm an option.
Yeah, but it just wasn't like a thing for us at all.
No, homecoming was not the standard for us.
Everyone just was too cool for it.
I think it was a generational thing.
We're like over like the course of 15 years, every class was like, we don't do homecoming.
This could be a dumb question.
Was y'all's homecoming?
Like did y'all wear like the girls wear the best?
big moms and like that's what they're called like
like the big decorative stuff.
We did that in like
they just wore these like little
The boys would wear one on their arms.
Y'all know I'm talking about?
I gotta show you all what I'm talking about it's called like moms and garters
I think.
Do we?
But we wore that in a flower.
Yeah.
That sounds like a little flower.
Yeah.
Dude our school would make such a big deal like literally like for every dance.
We would we like I wouldn't even prepare this much as an adult now.
We would rent a party bus like everyone would get hammered on this thing.
You ride around for like because you rent it like six hours.
Ride around by two.
hours and just like get drunk show up to the dance in high school yeah just embarrassed yourself at
homecoming or prom for like an hour and like everyone else like thought they'd be too cool like they'd go to
the dance like try to look cool we would just be like drunk and like just jumping like just jumping around
like actually like and the teachers liked it they're like they're like they're like they're like
enjoying the party and then like we would just vodka on your breath literally the water bottle filled
with dude there's this picture of me it was like when i was on prom court or i don't know what you call it
like i didn't win but it's like the like when you all
have to stand up there and like you have to show up at a certain time I'm just hammered just
drenched and sweat from rod on this party bus and like my parents like I don't think they knew
I drank back then so I have a picture of me with my family and I'm just like my hair is like
dripping on my face I'm just like that's when the eyes were born yeah and it was just and then
you'd go then we'd rent a lake house after because there's like a lake like 30 minutes away just
everyone would stay at this house it was the best parties I've probably still ever been to
our main goal for prom was to get to better than brunch the after party the last party the
Yeah, after prom was
Bro, my, the after parties I had for prom were ass.
I got yelled at three hours after one.
You're like, by your girl?
Yeah, because I won prom king.
Yeah.
You can't have all wins.
Yeah, I won Prom King that night and then.
Which was on.
Like, I was so happy.
My girlfriend at the time did not win.
The one picture I have.
That's what he starts.
Yeah, she, she was in the back.
Is that how all proms were?
That's how I worked for.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I thought it was like a.
Like, yeah, a couple.
No, no, no.
There was a female winner, but she had independent elections.
Yeah.
And then you have to slow dance with the other person.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was like one of my best friends.
We left.
We're like, let's go.
It was one of my best friends.
Girlfriends.
Who won it.
So, like, it was kind of like weird, but it was also like, I was cool with her.
And then we went to the after party.
And it really wasn't much of an after party.
There was like 10 of us.
They just went to my buddy's house and had like a bonfire.
No girls.
No, it was all like the dates.
But it was.
But we's, I was literally.
So 10 couples or five?
couples. It was like five couples. And I was in the car for like after party two hours.
Actually, it was a movie. Trying about that field goal. Just getting yelled at by my girlfriend because I didn't go up and celebrate with her. And I'm like, ha, I won. You didn't because I had people during at lunch like during the week leading up to prom. I had people come up to me like I voted for you, but I did not vote for Hannah.
So she was like, was she not liked not very well, which should have been what should have been. What should have been.
I hope you're doing good in your career.
Probably not.
Damn.
Dude, this one stupid.
Go ahead.
Say it.
No.
We'll bleep it.
No, she still follows me.
No.
It's like we're still kind of friends.
I can't say it.
Never mind.
When you drop the field goal thing,
were you senior?
I wanted to dance with.
Okay.
I'll make sure.
Because I'll be here junior.
I was a senior.
I was a senior.
We,
I was about to say,
we quickly got through like the saddest like loss.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We share the same one.
We share the same one.
We share the same one.
But I'll let Jack take the the one we share.
But my senior year, we came in second in golf and state and lost the state championship in lacrosse.
Oh.
Yeah.
We went 30 and 0 in the regular season for golf.
And lost by four strokes.
Were you the number one?
Who? Me? No, I was five.
Their golf team was cracked in high school.
Yeah.
They were so damn good.
Yeah.
But at LaCross, we played MUS because at this time it's still a club, so we're playing private schools.
And MU.S and McCauley were like the notorious, like they would just trade off championships.
There had never been a public school to win the state championship.
And we're up 12 to 9 with like two and a half minutes left.
All we have to do is literally hold the ball.
12 to 9?
box and I don't know if it's like after two minutes or something but like if you step out of the box it's like a turnover you do it back that happens they go down four unanswer goals and they win in the last like five seconds and it's like no one gave a shit about lacrosse which is rightfully so this game there was a shit ton of people there and it was at father Ryan it was a father Ryan and oh dude and one of our buddies we were going to go to their house like if we won their parents like
yonking party and everyone's crying like we're not doing it and like an hour later we're like
all right we're going to go still and the day before so yeah like jack said we were like the public
school like reping and the day before we play macaulie and it's a tight game and jack actually
had like a pivotal ass goal to get us to the state championship that's the one where you like
dropped it caught it bro damn Mitch has heard this and my little spreading and then we uh
It's lacrosse.
That next day, I swear I was walking into that field and was like, no one can fucking stop us.
And that day, up until those last couple minutes, they couldn't do anything about it.
And then it was gone before you knew it.
I don't want to put blame on anyone.
Oh, Garrett.
He doesn't listen.
He says his name.
No, I'm not going to say Matt Richardson.
I know.
I know who you're talking about.
Ross English.
I love you, Ross, but we should have had Madden.
He was a younger kid and he was a sophomore, but he was by far better.
and he was tiny
But yeah
He was tiny
But Ross was a really big guy
But like he was a senior
It was like his last game
So I think the coach was kind of trying to be like
We had a division one offered
Freshman goalie on our team
Oh he's freshman
Or sophomore whatever it was
I don't know he was young
But if Matt
I swear again no disrespect
But if Maddie Ice was in goal
It wouldn't have even been close
Yeah brutal
And then we just got to school
And they're like yeah
We'll cross is gay still
Yeah
I'm going to prom still
Yeah that was tough because after that game
I had to go to my senior what was like
Your graduation party
Yeah
I had to go to mine
After the game after the game
Oh yeah I definitely came too
And I just remember like being in the car
Like I'm not fucking going in right
And I just remember Butch like giving me a beer
And just was like take your time
I just sat in the car and just was like bawling my eyes out
It hurts bro crush that beer
Dude what was yours?
We got second place in state championship my junior year.
Soccer.
Yeah, it was brutal because we were out playing the other team,
but we hit the post probably six times.
And they had, I don't know if they had a single shot on goal.
And with two minutes left, our center back,
a ball gets played over top to nobody.
And it takes like this weird bounce.
And he goes down to like settle it with his chest or something
and just handballs it in the box.
with two minutes left.
They score on a PK.
When they're doing the trophy ceremony,
like nobody from our team goes to grab the second place one.
So I go up there.
I have a photo of me just like solo.
But dude, the worst part, like four weeks later,
we're at my friend Jeff's house.
And it's me, Jeff Mitchell,
and Mitchell's the one that handballed it.
And we go, we walk upstairs,
and Jeff's dad has a rerun of the state championship game going on.
in the last minutes like trolling Mitchell and we all come upstairs like Mr. Brady what are you
watch it he's like oh my bad you know nothing turns it Mitchell just sees it and just walks back
downstairs because after the game once we lost the game was in Columbia Mitchell tried to walk home
like the whole ceremony is going to see Mitchell on the other side of the fence walking but we did
we won the next year and I brought the second place trophy for a pregame
speech and uh i was like y'all remember this feeling from last year i was like screw that feeling and i
tossed the trophy and the whole locker room just starts like kicking it like never again
and we won was Mitchell a senior when he was a senior but he won't state his sophomore year so he does
have a ring our soccer team was twice we lost i i went on varsity my freshman year oh gotcha got
got you got you we lost junior year one senior year i used to love going to our high school soccer
game. Dude, the crowd is fun.
They were so good.
Great place to smoke weed at. For sure. Yeah.
All the lights were off, but on the soccer fields, you could just
hit some. One time I did, I did smoke and I think I was 15, got dropped off, show up.
My mom always knew if I had smoked weed.
And I always thought I could get away with it. And she's like, why are your eyes so red?
And I'm freaking out. And I'm like, mom, like, so defensive.
I'm like, I got a hit in the eye with a water bottle. In my head, I'm like,
Like, checkmate.
And then she's like, so why are both of your eyes red?
And I'm literally in my bathroom upstairs.
And I just strip fully naked, turn the shower.
And I'm like, get out.
I'm taking a shower.
I,
she didn't say anything about it,
but I'm just panicking the whole night.
And so I,
it could have just been put to bed,
nothing be said.
I go downstairs for breakfast to go to school tomorrow.
And I go,
I'm like,
watch,
I'm about to double down.
I'm like,
I'm like,
why are we so weird last night,
mom?
She's like,
I know you're smoking weed.
There.
There was a moment Jack and I had been smoking and I dropped him off at home or whatever and I get this random text like on weird amount of time after that's like why did I get why do I have eye drops?
And I'm like I was getting set up by my mom.
She's like text Garrett.
Yeah.
Because I literally made Garrett after after that me getting the water bottle sickness.
I the next time I was like Gary you have to take me to Kroger.
I have to have eye drops.
And so I get him, I'm like, I'm good.
And she finds the eyedrops.
And she's like, you're smoking weed?
I'm like, no.
I'm like, I got to hit me in the eye with a fucking water bottle.
Yeah, Jack, that text, I was like, this is either.
Garrett was so smooth.
I was like, I know what this was.
Yeah.
That's when I started calling my mom by first name.
The way the text came through, I was like, this is, he needs a life saving moment.
He was like, your eyes were itchy.
Your eyes are ill.
Jack, the next day was like, like, thank God.
God.
Dad, tell you all about that thing when I was high in class and I got that scholarship.
Oh, yeah.
I didn't hear that one.
This is, that is funny.
This is like something I'm like, I don't even know if I want to stay on here.
But I think I might have told my parents, but either way, they know I've smoked weed before.
We would just hit, like, dad pins.
I didn't do them that often in high school, but we like had just hit one, which is just like so high.
And I'm not good with weed at all.
I don't do weed at all anymore.
They all know I'm so bad with weed.
You should do weed again.
I should try.
No, I should.
Because I had the worst experiences, but I did it in class.
I was high in class.
I don't even remember where we hit it.
And then I'm sitting there.
And I guess like I had applied for a scholarship recently.
Like I wasn't thinking about that.
Like our door on the classroom has like glass around it where you can see the hallway.
And you just see like principal, assistant principal counselor like maybe like a student
eight or something is like recording like either on a phone or like a camera.
And we're all just like what the hell?
And me and my friends are bugging.
What is going on?
They come in, they're like, Jared Beeman.
I was like, what is going on?
And they're like, you won the whatever scholarship.
And I was like, uh-huh.
Like shit.
Yeah.
And then like, we're all smiling and taking pictures.
I'm just, then I forgot who I've told us to.
Then they're like, now we got to pull you from class.
Then they bring me, they bring me to the guidance office.
And they're like, for some reason I have, I don't remember the details of this because this doesn't make sense.
But you have to like fill out this essay thing.
as like the final thing.
I don't know why.
You'd already won it.
And I literally just refused to do it.
Like I was sitting in there with them.
I'm like,
I can't do it.
And they're all sitting around me like literally just write like yada yada yada.
Like this is for like a sponsored thing.
Fine print says we know you smoked weed.
Yeah.
And then I just didn't.
And like I sat in there for like 10 minutes and I can't do it.
I'm sorry.
And they're like this is however much money.
It wasn't anything crazy.
And I just left that room.
Went to my dad's class term.
And he's like oh, congrats.
I was like no fuck that scholarship.
I didn't win it.
He's like,
what are you talking about?
I just went to sleep in his office.
Like I'm high.
Yeah,
I just laid down his office
and then he had to have known
what was going on.
I had a tough high at school moment too.
That was my only one.
That's crazy to go to school high.
Well,
I was already there.
So fun.
I was so scary.
It's fun until some shit like that happens.
It's fun when you're sitting in class and you're just like,
what the hell?
And then like that's the worst thing to happen.
Everyone comes in.
In the school parking lot for the whole class.
And it was not even,
weren't even smoking.
weed. It was like K2
like
here got geeked out on spring day
bro almost lost them
entirely for real
I just remember
you almost flatlined
I don't think I could have
it was only up from there
but let it go to this
parking lot getting our friends
epic avalanche
and hotboxes car
and then I get outside
I'm like dude I feel insane
and I sit down
aesthetic shit you get from a gas
yeah yeah yeah not designed to
sit on the ground for a 15 year old boy
because I'm like everything's starting to like move
really hard and I so I sit on the park
on the concrete and lean up against the car
and behind our high school is Granny White Park
and the trees are just like
violently like moving back and forth
and the guy I'm with like
just windy it's just probably probably was
the guy was with was like weirdly
like he'd be talking me but like he'd be like right here
and then he'd be like over there
and like dude bouncing around
and I just was like holy shit
like what is happening I thought I was like in this forever
and it'd been like 20 minutes
wait but you gotta tell when you gotta go back in the school
I had to go back in
and the class period had ended
and then spring day started
so spring day like the second half of school
was just like free for all yeah roam around campus
and I had told
my teacher
I was like, I got to go to the bathroom.
She's like, dude, like, it's the last period before spring day.
Can't you, like, hold it?
I was like, no, like, I got to go now.
That was, like, my out of the classroom.
But I had to go back and I'm still just, like, faded as fuck.
And she and I are the only people in the hallway.
And I'm, like, nearing her classroom.
And she was like, how the bathroom going?
I was just like, windy.
I think my shit's in there.
Like, I got to get out of here.
It was terrifying walking back in there.
Everyone's outside.
I'm the only student in the bathroom.
building.
It's even smoothier.
It literally felt like 21
Jump Street when like
the eyebrows come down
to a mustache.
It was just like,
uh,
solo in the school.
It's hilarious.
It's so quiet.
And I knew where all my friends were.
Half of them ditched.
And the other half were like outside playing soccer.
Like having you're like so far away.
Dude,
it felt so far.
You needed a ride over there.
Luckily,
Miss Mouth was,
ask Miss Fugate.
Was I get a ride?
Oh yeah.
She was a chiller, though.
For sure.
Could have been way worse people to run into in that whole way.
Like Dan Winfrey.
Could have been.
Austin Winfrey's there.
He was the guidance counselor and football coach.
Oh, was he head football coach?
Yeah.
And he did the same position every day during like class periods.
He just stood like this and he wouldn't say anything.
He'd just knock you.
And that's it.
And it honestly sucked for Austin.
I mean, just to have your dad.
Yeah.
In my class alone, the principal, vice principal,
guidance counselor, football coach
all had kids in my grade.
Dang.
Sucks for them.
Dude, my dad being a teacher was so
like fun.
It's just an hour.
People would just skip class and go sit my dad's class.
Marketing.
You just told stories.
Marketing.
Y'all have marketing?
Yeah.
What?
It's like we had pathways.
Shout out CTAE.
That's who I went and spoke to
when I went to my high school.
CTE.
C-T-A-E.
Yeah, C-T-A-E.
I think I said it too quick.
It's like the career pathway thing.
None of those cool classes.
The only one I did was like Homeck and I chose
HomeX like under it. Yeah.
Like we just like would fuck around and like cook
horrible. That was one of them.
Now you'd have definitely done media.
For sure. Yeah. Because I did media all four years.
My senior year I was like an intern.
So I got paid to do all day after school shoots.
Dang. Yeah. That's how it should be.
And I like my last three periods were just in media.
And then I had dual enrollment. So like Monday, Wednesday,
Friday, I had first period English.
Tuesday, Thursday, Thursday, no first period.
go straight in to PE2 second period.
Then I have third, fourth, fifth period,
actual academics,
and then sixth, seventh, and eighth were all media.
It's almost exactly what I did in high school.
Why smoking weed was fun.
We had,
we didn't have PE two my senior year.
No, it was new.
I just did like college and PE.
Greenville County Schools system did me dirty.
They got me behind A ball.
My school kind of sucked.
Dude, you know, one of the CTAE classes
is like early childhood development.
It's like learning.
I guess if you want to work in the medical field
with kids specifically, it's all about like babies.
And when I went back to my high school to speak to classes,
they like put me on the schedule to talk to one of those classes.
I don't know why.
Like it was mostly marketing classes and media classes.
And I go into one.
I'm like, all right.
I'm like, who in here is interested like a media?
And like no one raises their hand.
I'm like, what the fuck am I here?
Did they have like the little fake babies?
Yep.
And that whole thing.
Did you all take the class?
But yeah,
they had to like carried around.
I don't suck.
Did you guys have periods?
Did you guys have blocks?
We actually, we changed to happen.
You had both?
Yeah, we did like block schedule.
Would you like more?
What's better?
I like block schedule more.
I honestly don't even know.
Was it like four classes a day?
Periods or five.
Because it's just like 55 months or something.
Is periods the quick one?
Yeah.
I like those better.
You had four classes a day and then like we had like a flex period.
So it's like you had English social studies and then like something else.
But every class was like an hour and a half long.
And then flex period was like 45 minutes.
and then would it flip like the next day you'd have your other yeah so flex yeah so it was like
that and then like flex period whenever you had flex you being lost the day of the week would
change the day of the week would change so like it's like flex period too so you go back to your
second block and then just do that it was it like it sounds confusing now but like you were just in the
same I just don't want to be in a class for two hours in high school dude no we've switched
halfway through my high school career we went to period two hour class either so yeah
chilled.
Oh, like last week.
It's like, yeah.
Dude, who was the creative journalism teacher?
He was also like a football coach, or at least on staff.
Can't remember his name.
Super Chiller.
I cannot think of his name.
It's going to piss me off.
But we basically just watch movies all day.
Dude, my dad halfway through the block would just turn Shark Tank on.
We watched Slane Blade one day in class.
I remember being like, all right.
Here's your marketing for today.
Kevin O'Leary.
Jack and I saw
One of the teachers at our high school at Ponderu every year
And that was
That's hilarious
That's fire
Yeah that was a fun
Seeing a high school teacher in the wild
While you're in high school
You might have to tell the Mike Beanan's story, bro
My first concert
I ever went to is bass nectar
If you're up with bass nectar
Like heavy like
Especially when we were in high school
I feel like they were doing a tour
Because so many of my friends went out of them
It's a place called Lime Light
rest in peace limelight it's right next to the titan stadium outdoor concert uh back then the ides
you could cut out a number from the phone book and then it matched perfectly with the font and color
of your id so like as long as it didn't actually pull it out you could pass so like it was 18-up
concert i looked like fucking 18 when i was like 24 so like do math 15 they're like who are you
i get in i'm having fun and i run into my head coach that's like my lacrosse coach and like the
next day I go to practice but at the thing it's like one of those stare-downs kind of like
garrett and his English teacher in the hallway and where I'm like I'm fucked and then in his head
I'm not realizing he's like I'm fucked yeah and then he comes up to me and he's like we're not
going to talk about this right and I was like nope and then in my head I'm like damn I kind of
have him cornered like he's not even realizing that I'm 15 here like so this is what leverage is
literally shut up beans yeah I my one teacher mr. Hertzler he's the man still
I'm actually just texted him earlier this week.
He would just be like, yeah, we would always go hang out in his class, like before school started.
And he's like, yeah, I mean that my friends had a, like he called like getting drunk and going out.
It was like a wine party.
So we would come in after the weekends.
Like, Ms. Hertz, so you have a wine party this weekend.
He'd be like, yeah.
And we were like, oh, that's so sick.
Dude, you get drunk?
Yeah, exactly.
My dad called it Mountain Dews.
Like when he was in teacher mode, he'd like, anyone had any?
Like, we had Mountain Dews like this and be like, did you all have Mountain Dews this weekend?
Like, and like, it was like plausible deniability almost to talk about.
it in class
that's funny
I gotta bounce
