Fat Chance Podcast - Solo Family Feud Ep.188

Episode Date: January 15, 2026

Where are these 100 people from that are asking questions to?

Go. I pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. Take it away. One nation under God, indivisible. With liberty. And justice. For all. All right.

I don't think that's right. I don't think that's right. That was right. Okay. I think we should start every podcast with a little prayer like that. It's not a prayer. I know. To some, hey, to some, it is.

That's true. I think also it was a weird way to start your school day. It really was, yes. Well, I went to a Catholic school, so my school day was the Our Father and the Pledge of Allegiance. That is crazy. Every day, yeah. You're just, it's almost a little, like, military kids, you know. It varies.

Stand up tall. Say your stuff. And it's like, yeah, it's ingrained. And you remember, I don't think. You just got over the intercom and the voice of God was like, all right, everyone would bow their heads, the name of the father, son, the Holy Spirit. And then when you were done, this like nice peaceful Lord's Prayer,

like, all right, I pledge of allegiance to it. It just felt it was a weird transition. I think they should switch the national anthem out with just the Pledge of Allegiance before, like, baseball games. Oh. It's quicker. Yeah, it's very much. Yeah, it's very quick.

But it's weird. It's weird. Oh, yeah. Also, National Anthem is pretty weird. It's a lot about bombs in there, you know? Yeah, a lot about bombs. We like our explosives. And we don't like our explosives.

Yeah, we do and we don't. But yeah, it's wild. But yeah, I think there's some, I mean, if we had to pick songs, we'd probably, you know, have better songs to put in front of the National Anthem. What if you had, like, what song do you think K through eighth should start your day with? Enter the Sandman, obviously. A little thunderstruck action. You tell me, that's not going to get the people pumped?

How long, how long do you think if every school day like kindergarten started with Thunderstruck? And they're like, all right, wherever the longest Thunderstruck ended, that kid gets an extra 15 minutes of recess. How long do you think a group of kindergarters would it take them to figure out, all right, the 13th one always gets 15 minutes of recess. Yeah, I mean, that's a good problem, like problem solving thing. Someone do that. Our little, our friends that are teachers. Try it.

Get rid of the Pledge of Allegiance for a day. Thunderstruck for a year and see if one kid figures out that 13th in line is, you know, extra recess time. Because that kid should probably move up. Yeah, I do, is it 13? Is 13 the number? I have no idea. I just shot out of a number.

But it's like, I didn't know if. You know what I mean. Like, you know. Oh, yeah. We've all played Thunderstruck like the game. Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, I think there's so many better songs we can start a day with that.

It would be so much fun. I like Inter Sammon or Thunderstruck. That's a good one. Really, really get them going. Mm-hmm. Let's get this. Let's get this day pumped, you know? Yeah, why not start the day with a little extra energy?

Who needs to make it? It's like a walk-up song. It's like a walk-up song to your day. Oh, absolutely. You've had that conversation with someone. Like, if there was background music throughout my day, I'd probably be 10 times more productive. I'd also probably have way more broken bones.

Oh, I think I would talk slower. Really? I think it would romanticize your day, you know? you'd be like, you'd be probably like walking to the beat instead of, you know, you'd be, you would, you would, you would slowed everything down. You'd only upset. Saturn Night Fever is playing. You know what I'm just? If someone could control your background music, though, they definitely could control your life.

Like, all right, hey, he seems a little down. Let's throw on some wiggles. Let's see if he peps up a little bit. Speaking of controlling your life, I believe there's a ghost touching your sheet over there. Yeah. Um, this place is now haunted by two, two gremlins. Very fast growing kittens. Kittons?

The kittens. Yeah, they're now beating the shit out of each other. Oh, good, good for them. Good for them. Yeah. But should we get to the game right away? This might be a shorter one. We can make this short today.

I know you got places to be. I got places to be. Yeah. Um, well, we're, uh, We're going to play. Actually, go grab a beer. I think a beer would be great for you. Okay.

I'm not drinking right now, but I will grab a beverage. Is that okay? Oh, yeah, go grab a beverage. Go grab a beverage. Yeah, I'll grow a beverage here. Hold on. Luckily, we're so close to the beverages. There we go.

Yeah, I decided to do a good, like, two and a half weeks of sobriety leading up to my buddy's wedding this weekend. Just, you know, really let the alcohol pack a punch for the wedding. What are you trying to be a lightweight? Wait, what are you doing? You know what? You ever like, I'm not doing dry January. It's that damp January kind of thing.

I didn't start it until after you left on like the third. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not drink until the 18th kind of thing. But it's just sometimes you need a little cleanse. You need a little break. Yeah, don't get a little juice cleanse in you. Well, we're going to play the family feud today. Oh, I like, I don't know if we do that.

I swear to God, if one of these. these ghosts knocks over nine picture frames that are leaning up against the wall right now. We should, if I was good, I would get a kitten camera for this. Yeah, just have a GoPro on him. Yeah. Yeah, we're going to play the family feud

what's a, what's a, and it's like chicken and that. And he goes, dragon. and there's like no way that that's going to be right and then it's one person said dragon and they realize that charlie was when they took it yes i have seen that i have seen that so uh yeah last you know what is your camera rolling oh yeah we can be probably flip it

let's do that and then we'll do the last one the last one the best for last where are my two ghosts Usually when I can't see or hear them, they're up to no good. Starting making trouble in the neighborhood. What little fight? My mom got scared. Said you're moving with your aunt and uncle in Bel Air. A whistle for a cat came near.

The license plates said fresh in there were dice in the mirror. How white could you think we could make the fresh prince of Bel Air song? I think we could probably do it all. Probably. All right, I think with that last one. Name something that ruins a bar vibe instantly. Too many drunk people, like a too drunk of a guy. I'm going to say...

That is correct. Bright lights. Yeah. Bright lights. That's number three? They're out of booze. Ooh. No food?

I'm going to give it to you number five. Last call announcement. Last call. Okay. Bad music. That is number one. Bad DJ. Bad DJ, bright lights, last call.

Two more. What makes a bad? Not a lot of seating. No. Angry bartender. Expensive drinks. Too many dudes. Here you go.

Number two. Fighting. I would argue that ruins a bar night. That could enhance it. And number four, someone crying. As long as it's after the fight, I don't think. That is how you play. Family feud.

I think those things could ruin a bar night if they're directly related to your group or yourself. But if you're observing a fight or crying, it's like a car accident. You're deer in the headlights. You cannot look away. I love it. When I was back home, went to, like, a small town bar in Union Grove, Wisconsin, walked in, and there was a man basically asleep at the bar.

It was 8.30 at night. And the bartenders were talking. One lady's, like, we looked, and she's talking about how shitty her baby dad is. And I was like, I fucking love it here. And they're like, well, we need to kick him out. And she went to kick him out and goes, sir, I need you to leave quietly and politely this time. I was like, so he's done this multiple times before.

And I thought it was a great 30 minutes I was in that bar. None of it had to do with me. And there was bright lights in there, which did kind of ruin it. Yeah. I mean, a good Tony bar is in posting up and just seeing all the shit that goes down is always very fun. Oh, I love it. So many memories of that. obviously we posted up for the heartbreak that was this past Saturday.

And that one, it was a real kick in the gut. But we posted up for a long time. We were posted up probably from like two till the end of the game. And we were at double Ds where, and we won some raffles. I'll tell you what. Good. At least you walked out with your head. We walked.

Yeah, we walked out. with some prizes. Our dignity wasn't intact, but everything else was there. So, yeah, won a lot of silly stuff. We didn't win any of the big, big ones, but we won some of the funner ones. They had, like, like, at halftime, they gave away a huge bag of stuff. And the bag ranged from Packer ornaments to a shirt that said I pee and pools.

So... That's someone cleaning out their closet. and that is our friend Evan won that. So then he put it all on. And at halftime he put it all on. Like IP in Pools, he had this weird hat thing that they put on. And they have like a chicken thong thing that he put on too. And probably about halfway through the fourth quarter,

I look at him and I'm like, you're going to need to take that off. I'm going to tell you right now, we haven't played well since you. put it on. We have to take that off. Yep, take it all off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and he reluctantly. He was like, why?

No, no, no. It's not my fault. Because he was having a blast. People were, like, coming up and, like, talking about it. I, I, I mean, it needs to take that off. So, yeah. Yeah, it's, it was an unfortunate circumstance. I thought when we walked into the bar, we, we sat at,

it seemed like it was three to one Packer Bears fans. By the end of the game, I looked around. I'm pretty sure there was, like, five of us Packer fans. and it was a Bears bar. And I realized it was a Bears where they started ringing the bell every time the Bears did well, which took me an entire half to figure out.

But, I mean, I was leaving. They were chanting like, fuck the Packers. And you know what? Have fun. It's fine. If it wasn't the Bears, it wouldn't have really hurt as bad.

Yeah, for sure, for sure. And also, it wouldn't hurt as bad if they would have won out right, like it killed us. You know? But like every year, it's, my dreams kind of, and childhood kind of died this weekend with the Packers doing Packer things. And then, I mean, a childhood great Rogers is probably done as well. So it's like, football just kind of like, to me, when the Packers are out and I really don't have a specific person I'm rooting for, football's over.

Oh, yeah. It's done the Super Bowl. Don't know when that is. don't care. I, I, for me, I'm, this one, this one hurts just because it was the Bears, it was, uh, an end of an era almost of sorts in, in a lot of different ways. And, um, I think, I think for, for me, it's going to take some time for me to, I don't watch football for the rest of the weekend. I mean, I had it on, on my phone and just checking

the score, be here and there, but I did not put it on TV. I was, I just watched Rogers. Yeah. I didn't even watch the, I didn't even watch the, Last night is kind of watched his stat line, so it wasn't going good. Oh, they screwed him. It was just... Yeah. Yeah, so, Texxan is a good defense. You knew that was going in.

You'd be dumb to take the over like this guy did. So, but yeah. And then, so it's been a, it's been just a rough weekend, but it helps the shows. I'll tell you how much, because we have two shows this weekend. I was worried that the Packers were going to play on one. And I was like, oh, man, I'm going to have to like pay every free. It is, it is a little freeing.

I do have to admit, when the season's over, I'm just like, I feel like I've been, like, released. I'm no longer handcuffed to football. Like, my Sundays don't kind of reside around. There's a bad analogy, but it feels like you're in a bad relationship. Yeah. Does that make sense? It's like, it's like it's, it's not like, it's not helpful. healthy for you.

Like you get upset, you sweat, you panic, and then you have some relief, and then if it doesn't go well, you're upset, you know. Yeah, I shouldn't be at a bar on a Saturday night with my heart racing, wondering if someone miles and miles away is going to, you know, pull through for me. And it's just, it's not the case. It's not the case. The Packers have an unhealthy relationship with me, and it's addictive. Take too much of my life.

I will say that. And it's, yeah. I guess it's going to come through. We just cut and we're back and we're leaving. So three, two, one.
