The boys chop it up and interrogate Zane over whether or not he has had any ladies come after him just because he is a professional athlete.

I don't remember anything else. That's how blacking out happens. It's not like a slow ease in. It's like you're at a good level and you're like, I'm having a great time. And then it's like, bang, you're blacked out. I fucked up. Will you get me? You wake up in your bed.

Yeah. What happened last night? I don't even want to know. Welcome to the it's Been A While podcast. I'm Jake and I'm a grass daddy. That's Spencer. He's a grass cousin. And that's our friend who plays for the Salt Dogs.

I just had to get it out of the way because... I had to mention it. I had to get it out of the way because that's kind of our thing. When we're all out at the bars together, that's our go- move is to go our friend plays with us all though and just just because you hate it i do i do hate it um you have to get it out there it does but always leads to a good conversation with whoever the hell you say usually hey it's because we usually hook you up and we usually do it to like a milf or a hot waitress i mean it's not like we're just saying it to some fucking like kid that's gonna beat your ear for your autograph or something yeah well i'd be i'd be uh concerned if there's a kid at a bar that's a good point um this is zane everybody he is um

first time uh guest of the pod um you came to us at the golf course about a year ago during the off season, right? It was about a year ago. I actually moved. I got a snap memory. It's been a while. So two days ago was when I officially moved out here. So I think I got the job at the Ridge two weeks after that. So almost a year.

So was that like the only job you applied for like what made you want to come out to the golf course well well i needed a job and i just opened up indeed and it was like one of the first jobs oh really up and i just saw wilderness ridge i was like oh shoot i think working on a golf course would be pretty fun i applied and craig called me the next morning was your first was because i feel like a lot of guys are like i like to golf right because it's kind of well known like if you work there you'll probably get a golf there yeah i mean i just picked up golf probably four months before that and i was like you know what there's probably gonna be some maybe some free golf working on a golf course hell yeah why not

you know that doesn't happen that often at the ridge but you know it only times on occasions yeah i mean we're usually pretty busy out there but sometimes we make time honestly fall more so than a couple times that we golfed together like all of us when you golfed with us was like my first time ever golfing out there so i think there was a paradigm shift when you came like i don't know yeah yeah he's got this aura about him you know what i mean it's like it's the kind of aura that a workplace needs where it's just uh you're kind of like the guys let's stop fucking taking ourselves too serious here i mean we're just working on a golf course kind of a vibe you know what i mean yeah yeah you gotta keep it light we still get

our work done though but like exactly i keep it upbeat you know because uh you know there was a lot of uh cancerous you know personalities that worked here in the past and you know i just that's not my vibe go ahead and name the name don't name the name um but yeah But so I would say Zane, after giving some time, proved that he was more than qualified to be in our friend group. And we took him in, took him under our wing, and he joined the... Our friend group really doesn't have a name. I feel like there's some friend groups where it's like the boys or the whatever. We don't really have like the fam. Or you know what I mean?

Like we don't really have a name. It's just kind of. We're kind of just a group of misfits. Basically, our whole fucking friend group is on different spectrums of each goddamn group. I mean, yeah. We're on a spectrum, all right. If you look at us, like. I mean, half of us are fucking on pills, and I don't even know what else, but...

One of us is on milligrams every time he walks out of his house. Yeah, you can't get out milligrams. First thing that goes in my body is caffeine and nicotine before breakfast. Just the essentials. That usually is my breakfast. And then you got him, you know. Yeah. Gotta take that bong rip.

Every day before he leaves the house? Really? Every time he goes out. Yeah, gotta hit that bong. Fucking A. I mean, you do what you gotta do. On Fridays, he goes, he's like,

you know, I'm gonna go home, I'm gonna hit the bong, gonna get in the shower, do some homework, gonna hit the bong again, and then I'm gonna go out. I like how he mixed in schoolwork for that regimen. Yeah, he normally has like a quiz or something.

A little bit responsible. I'm gonna rip my bong, get some higher education. I'm sorry, what? Rip my bong again. Hop on some Hell Let Loose. He might. I hopped back on that. Oh, fuck that game.

I know, you hate that game,, fuck that game. I know. You hate that game, and honestly, it is pretty frustrating. But I actually was able to snipe a little bit last night, and it was pretty fun. Yeah, until you have a fucking 40-year-old virgin screaming over the mic. There was. What are you doing? And there literally was. He was talking so loud, I had to mute him.

Because I was like, normally, I don't really care if there's, like, chatter going on. Because he wasn't talking directly to me. But, like, he was talking so loudly, I could barely hear the fucking, like, gunfire. Like, he was talking so loud. They take that shit so goddamn serious. Hell Let Loose is, like, a realistic World War II video game. Like, it's... There's no kill cams.

It's damn near, like, a role-playing game. There's no kill no kill here it's damn near like a role-playing there's no kill cams it's one bullet will kill someone yeah it's like a role-playing game and when you kill someone there's no like notification on the screen to let you know that you killed them other than if you see like a spray of blood or hear like a ping if you hit him in the helmet so even if you shoot at someone you don't even know if you killed them i don't know how well i do on that game i'd just be raging yeah it's it's pretty difficult really rage when the fucking people you're with are raging maybe i should be serious enough maybe i should play that game because i'd just be trolling just talking shit i feel like yeah that's one of the approaches you could take or if you were with a group of guys

that you were like communicating with yeah if you were with a group of guys that you were communicating with. Yeah, if you were friends, it probably wouldn't be terrible. But I don't know. I come from the OG Cod days, and that would just start coming right out of me. What would? Do you want to name a couple words? I don't even know what you're talking about. Good point.

So before we get any further And maybe to curve that conversation I'm thirsty We have a tradition on this show Where Jake gets thirsty About five minutes in We have a tradition on this show Where we go off the script

That didn't exist to begin with And we drink a couple Sudsy alcoholic beverages And we just kind of let it rip so uh and so you how many episodes have you listened to let's say about 10 10 10 yeah it's about 20 percent of them 10 out of what 56 52 i think this is our 56. But, so you don't know exactly about the mini fridge, right? No, no. Okay, so the mini fridge I purchased, I'm going to give the shortened version. I purchased off the dark web, okay, from a guy in Guadalajara.

It was actually off a Timu? No, it was from Guadalajara, Mexico. This guy, he was a gypsy, and he took this from a village that was ransacked by a bunch of, you know, I don't know what. I don't, I'm not going to say any, you know, racial slurs here. But basically, there was a family that was wrongfully killed, and a curse, so to speak, lies within the mini fridge where, you know, you plug it in, and after a certain amount of time, beverages will appear inside. Maybe I've already had a couple. I don't know. It's a mystery to all of us when we sit down and convene on this platform.

We know how much I love to drink. There we go. That's the only thing I needed to hear, Spencer, if you would. You got to do the owner knock. He's gone a couple times. And honestly, I think you, aside from being a grass cousin, because Ben said he's a grass unk. So what does that make me? I don't know.

I think we'll figure it out. Maybe by the end of the episode, we'll see where you lie. But I honestly, maybe you should just be the dedicated mini fridge manor. He's really good at manning the fridge. I mean, the last time Cam was on, I was manning the mini fridge. I think everyone wants me to shut up. I hope it's inside then. Oh. Oh.

Ooh. We got the food light. but light on those mood lies I can't even I don't even know if we've ever drank these on here before I don't even know the last time I had a Bud Light probably mean either honestly No, I always been a while That's just the best sound in the world right there. It's a pretty good going wow isn't that just the best sound in the world right there it's a pretty good sound kind of just gets me going it's like a budweiser it's funny when um like doing that in the break room in the morning how you know it's kind of like a smack open oh fucking when i open an energy drink and you see which which guys have a pavlovian response to the can opening because

they'll like look over like they don't even like the can opening? Because they'll look over. They don't even intend to. Like, oh, dad loves to look over when you hear that. Wait, who? I don't even. Oh, dad. Who's oh, dad? Darius.

Darius? Oh, dad. It's like a rush of dopamine. Yeah, it's like, am I going to get a treat right now? Yeah, it's like a spark of memories. Yeah. Dude, I don't even move. Why?

Because you know you're going to have one coming to you, like you don't have to work for it? Or what do you mean? When I hear that smack of the energy dream, I don't know, I'm half asleep until like 8 a.m. Like ish? I'm not that bad, generally, of the sound. And he just used the morning as an example. I think we're speaking more like I'm not that bad generally of the sound But it doesn't

And he just used the morning as an example I wasn't like you spring to attention like a Like a robot that just short circuited I mean like a Just like a you look over Because it's just your natural response to be like What's that person drinking? I don't know if I look over

Maybe it's not that deep I don't know I just thought it was I mean I think it is I'd like to see what everybody's drinking Sorry Well I mean, I think it is. I'd like to see what everybody's drinking. Sorry. Well, I mean, I know Jake drinks the rain, the superior energy drink.

I've been on the monster. You drink monster. I've been on the monster java wave. It is. Okay. Too much of a good thing is bad. I can't just drink a rain every day. You got to switch it up, man. It would lose its edge.

Just like you rotate your fungicides. Let's bring this back to grass real quick. I'm just kidding. We never talk about grass. Just like you got to rotate your fungicide groups, you got to rotate your caffeine intake. Yeah. You got to switch it up. You got to keep your body guessing.

Yeah. Monster, rain. What do you got? Ghost. I can't do the Celsius. Those fuck me up. Why? Was it you that was saying you got sick?

Yeah. Well, so I got one one time. I was like, oh, you know, this isn't half bad. It tastes pretty good. And it just fucked my stomach up. It got all bubbly. It gave me the shits. I thought maybe it was something I ate.

So I drank another one. Same response. I was like, Celsius is not enough for me. I like that natural caffeine. I got to have that fucking stuff that was cooked up in a lab. Okay. What? You told me to save up in a lab. Yeah. Okay. What? You told me to save this for the pod.

Oh, yeah. Speaking of that goddamn Heineken out there that him was drinking. Okay, yeah. So, yeah, what? So, when we got in the van on Friday and Zane was rustling around in the back and there's the Heineken back there. He goes. I was going through all.

Yeah. He's like, yeah, that's been in my van since I got it. So probably like four or five days ago. That Sixer? Yeah. The whole thing or just one bottle? The whole Sixer was just in the back of his van. Well, maybe he got a new one.

I doubt it. I don't know. I doubt it. We all know Ben. They couldn't have tasted great. When he got here, did he at least put it in the fridge and chill it down or drink it warm? I don't think he put those in the fridge. I think he just set them right down on the coffee table.

I didn't think anything of it because I didn't know. Yeah, you weren't in the van yet. But he said he put them in when he got the van on that Monday. And they sat in there all week. And it was hot last week. It was. last week. It was. Marinating.

I don't understand people who can drink room temperature beer. Trace kind of did that once. He was like, you can help yourself to a beer. And I was like, walking over to the fridge, he's like, it's right on the counter. And I was like, and I popped one open, and I'm like, maybe he just got them, so they were still cold from the fridge at the store. Yeah. I went to drink one, and I was like, you know when when you open a room temperature beer and it's super foamy. Oh, yeah.

And I was like, you know, I don't know what piss tastes like, but I'd imagine it's something like a warm beer. And I went and I went and like took a swig of it. And I'm like, mmm, thanks, buddy. I could maybe do a warm beer if I'm really drunk and I need something. Oh, no. That would be... Because I would instantly puke. If I was drunk and drink a warm beer, I think I would instantly...

It would be done. I think I shotgunned a room temperature beer once. And the foam from it made me throw up just foam. It just backfired on you? Yeah. It was backing up on me. I'm not usually a... Sometimes it's hard for me to drink a beer that's been in the fridge for like a little while.

Like a little too long. What are you talking about? So it can't be too hot or too cold? No, no. Because if it's pre-opened, it'll get flat. It's like a flat soda. If I have beer in there for like two weeks in the fridge and I'm just like, ugh.

What? Oh, yeah. What are you talking about? Like a fresh beer that's two weeks old? Yeah. Dude, I've drank a three-year-old beer, and it's tasted like beer. No, I can't do it. It's got to be a mental thing.

There's no way you can taste a difference. I don't know. I'd rather just throw them out and get a new case. Okay. Well, that's... Ben's like, I'll drink it right out of the van. Oh, yeah. Ben will drink anything. That he did. He's like, oh, this will get me fucked like, I'll drink it right out of the van. Oh, yeah. Ben will drink anything.

That he did. He's like, oh, this will get me fucked up. I'll drink it. So you joined our friend group about a year ago, and I think it was right around the time of Halloween because we hadn't really hung out yet, and that was the first kind of thing we invited you to, and I remember you didn't come. I didn't. And it was... I remember you were within the friend group enough

where it was like, it wouldn't be weird if you came, but I think you were a little, like, I don't know all that great. Yeah, I was still warming up to the boys. The boys? The boys. That's just what every boy friend group is called, the boys. Yeah. But I didn't go.

You should have. You should have. I should have. It was a pretty good time. Yeah, because you guys started telling stories about it. I was like, shit, maybe I should have went. I just re-listened to the episode that we talked about it. And you were on. It was you, me, and Cam.

Because I'm not just that self-absorber. I like listening to my own episodes i do it for research purposes okay i'm trying to i'm trying to better my craft i'm trying to listen to myself in the past i say um and uh so much i'm like oh my god you know i was never gonna say it but i do listen to some episodes and you you start doing that and it kind of where i'm trying to think and i'm like um and i'm like i'll be like you know mowing tea bags or something i'm like fuck jake spit it out you're like maybe he should you're like he should follow a script jesus christ

so in that episode we were talking about how cam did a liquor cam. He's on top of it. Dude, I told you. That was impressive. The second that empty can hit the table. Yeah. He knew I was on my last sip. I had to make sure. We're about on the same pace. So Cam did a liquor stunt where he took an entire handle of Tito's and went into the middle of the room and went,

thank you guys all for coming. And then he hitted it up and just started pounding it. And I didn't find it even remotely funny. I just went... After Cam kept going and Jake came to realization, he lunged

forward to stop Cam. I was like, he put it down and I was like, go throw up right now like this isn't funny this is how people get alcohol poisoning it's like full dad mode at this point and then and then he's like i'm gonna go piss and i was like go with him and make sure he fucking throws up like this is not funny and then he came back and he's like it was water and i was like what and he's like we were cleaning up the kitchen before people got here and we had this empty handle of tito's on display we planned

it the whole time yeah um filled the whole so we filled it up water yeah he didn't he pulled the long con on us he had it sitting there off to the side i think he had it but he didn't tell everyone else he only told like a couple people so there was a handful of people there that thought he killed himself that night. Yeah, he had it like underneath the island. And he like grabbed it out. That's a great prank. Have you ever seen those videos where people like prank like inexperienced drinkers? And they hand them like something like that full of water and

they take a poll on it and they're like oh like they act like it was because they have no idea and they want to seem cool that's the end of my story um so some people do that on like your 21st give you a shot of water well at the end of the night i feel like that's kind of the general practice of like it's your 21st birthday and you're going out tonight so you should go drink water drink water like no connor on my 20 verse connor got me so fucked up and he gave me like four shots of water in a row and then the fifth one was a fucking shot of tequila. Oh, fuck. Why were you drinking shots of water instead of just drinking water? Because he was trying to play that I was so fucked up I couldn't taste it.

And then the fifth shot was a fucking shot of tequila. And I was like... You started sucking his dick? No. I went outside and puked all over the sidewalk and walked back in. You were like, another round. Oh, yeah. That makes me think of the first time I ever drank liquor. You're like, so that's what happens after the 10th round.

Jose Cuervo. All right, go ahead. That was a dumb joke. So the first time I ever drank hard liquor, I was 16. Obviously, I've experimented with the beers you know got a little you know i've hit the buzz and i met my get over that i met my friend brennan's 16th birthday party and it's you know it's like all our baseball team like brad and coincidentally he's also like the head coach of our travel team like it's his house and that's dad like we're all in the basement hanging out and we're like we're like just you know drinking a little beers that we stole you know i took some from my dad's

fridge whatever you know and one of like just some random so because they went to a different high school and they showed up and they had like a couple water bottles full of vodka and he hands one to me and i've never had vodka before and i'm just sitting there and i'm just drinking it just drinking it and like probably within an hour... This water burns. To be honest, I don't even remember being like, oh, this is bad. I thought it was good.

It was just going down like water. And I drank the whole thing. What kind of vodka was it? I ain't got a damn clue. You just showed up with water bottles full of vodka. I wonder if it was diluted. I don't know. Straight vodka?

I don't know. How could you drink straight vodka? That's like spray down your guzzler yeah i don't remember well i mean after how fucked up i got after that night i couldn't tell you what it really tastes like but okay probably like it might have been it might have been about an hour but i drank that whole thing and obviously i blacked out i'm 16 i've never drank liquor before i drank an entire water bottle full wait when did he bring it to you what where were you at we were at it we're at his house for his like birthday party we're like in the basement like so he's got like a patio out back and we're all like just sitting in the chairs

you know hanging out bullshitting you know talking he just brought out some waters some waters like i knew i knew it was like alcohol and but i just was drinking and i was holding on to it and just caught in the moment i'm drunk and i'm just kept drinking it and i look down it's gone and i just it could have been it could probably an hour probably make that whole thing in an hour and that's about then about 10 minutes after that i don't i don't remember those in a day yeah probably over an hour especially not when you're 16 and an inexperienced drinker. What are they, like 12 ounces of? Probably, a water bottle?

Probably at least 16. Oh, 16 ounces of fucking. Okay, so anyways, I black out. And the next thing I remember is like my friends helping me into like Brennan's room. Because like I was asleep in there tonight. On like the ground, we had like a nice little bed set up I remember just projectile vomiting all over his bed all over the ground and like there's like five or six of us in his room and I remember I'm face down like this like on the ground like in my own fucking puke and that's and then everything else I don't remember and then

I remember like a knock on the door. And it was Terrell. He's our baseball coach. And he opens up the door. And he goes, what's going on in here? And I'm face down in my puke. Throw up everywhere. And I remember my buddy going, oh, I think he had some bad pizza. Bad pizza. Yeah, because we had like a bunch of little Caesars.

Smelled like vodka. Oh, dude. And he goes, Can you spill your hand sanitizer? What the fuck? And he just goes, He goes, All right, clean it up.

And he walked away. Did you have a game that day or something? No, this was like, This had to have been like a Wednesday or something during the summer. Because we had a tournament that weekend. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. It wasn't Wednesday. We had practice.

And I go, this story I remembered. I go, hey, Terrell, do you remember Brendan's 16th birthday party? And I threw up all over his room.

He goes, yeah. I go, it wasn't a pizza. And he looks at me and goes, I know. I know. I go, you did? He goes, I ain't stupid. And now that I'm, like, older and 27, like, I mean, it was obvious as shit. We were all fucking drunk.

But I just – I loved the fact that he was just, like – he just let it happen. You know what I mean? He's like, all these kids, like, it's a birthday party. They're drinking. They're experimenting, having fun, whatever. Like, obviously, he learned his lesson. He's face down in his puke right now in my son's room. Like, yeah, he learned his lesson.

No insult to injury there. He's like, if that doesn't scare him off of puke, if that doesn't scare him off of drinking,, if that doesn't scare him off of drinking me telling him that that was a bad thing, I'm sure he's going to fuck with you. Yeah, I think he knows it was a bad thing when he woke up with his own puke. You're like, oh my God, you knew? And he's like, dude, I saw half of my bottle of Barton's missing on the counter. I had an idea.

Yeah. When did you discover that you loved Pendleton? Okay, I don't even. Yeah. When did you discover that you loved Pendleton? Okay. I don't even... Do you still love it? I love Pendleton. I love whiskey. How many times do you have to throw up on Pendleton to not drink it anymore?

Never? Never. Never. Fuck. You had a rough night at Cairns last year. That was a rough night. I wasn't going for Pendleton that night. Because you were having a bonfire, and I was like, you know what?

Some whiskey would be good. It was Pendleton. No, no, no. But I went to the liquor store. I wanted Buffalo Trace because that's my go-to for a casual drink. Settled for it. And they didn't have anything, and I look around. And the lady that worked at the liquor store, she was kind of cute.

I'm not even going to lie. And she like walked by. She's like, she's like, you finding everything all right? Obviously not. And I can't find the fucking Buffalo Trace. You're like, I didn't know. I go, shoot. I go, you guys have Buffalo Trace?

She goes, no. And I'm like, I'll strike a conversation. I was like, you know, I see an opportunity here. And so I go, well, you know, go to my buddy's bonfire and i want to get a bottle of whiskey what you know what would you recommend she pointed out like a couple whiskeys and they all look i didn't never had them before and she goes it's pendleton midnight's pretty good i go well i've had regular pendleton i've never had pendleton midnight which is like and it was like 100 proof and regular pendleton's like what 85 80 like 100 proof yeah that'd be 50 yeah so i was

like well well i was like well she recommended pretty strong yeah she recommended like three whiskeys the first two looked like dog shit so i was like well i just asked her i might as well get this and that's how i showed up with the pendleton that's like the night courtney accidentally tried to kill me and she got me a bottle of Captain and she's like you have to drink all this before the full moon so this was on New Year's Eve and she got me like a 750

Captain and I pour myself like my normal drink and I'm like this is fucking strong what is going on and by the time I drank like half the bottle I look at it and it was fucking captain 100 poof and i was like oh no and then like it like right after right after i looked at the bottle i was like oh no and then like five minutes after done i don't remember anything else.

That's how blacking out happens. It's not like a slow ease in. It's like you're at a good level and you're like, I'm having a great time. And then it's like, bang, you're blacked out. You wake up and you're just like, will you give me a nap? You wake up in your bed. Yeah, you're like, what happened last night? I don't even want to know. You wake up and there's like half of a handcuff on you and it's like sawed off.

Oh my god, dude. You remember Cole, right? Yeah. So I don't know if I told the story on the pod and I don't know. I'm sure he'd be okay. The bird story? No, no, no. I'm sure he'd be okay with me sharing it.

I'm not going to share it in its entirety entirety but basically he is under the impression that he was drugged at the brass rail this um and i'll tell a shortened version of it um where i know where is you where basically he was like i only had six drinks in total two at each bar night throughout the whole night like i had two here we came here had two there we came to the brass rail and i had two there i was obviously feeling good enough like fine because he drove his friend home and he said he dropped him off and the last thing he remembers is backing out of his driveway to drive himself home well um essentially he went home woke up rachel his girlfriend woke up at like four in the morning and she's like why is there fucking water running and she goes to the bathroom and she realized it's not coming from the bathroom

she looks in their indoor closet and cole is pissing on the wall and then she's like what is happening and then he like came back to bed he like sat on the edge of the bed and that was about when he started to come to like i don't know if he just peed out the last of the roofies or i don't know why but well but then what then this is what made me think of it when you talk about like waking up after a blackout granted this wasn't a blackout this was we don't know we don't know what we can assume yes he was like i was like last thing i remember was backing out of my friend's driveway so i like went outside to see if my car was like destroyed like i don't know how i got home and i was like going outside to see if it was like the wolf of wall street thing where he thought he got home fine.

And then he goes outside and his whole car is destroyed. That's what he thought it was going to be. Yeah, I've never blacked out. Never? Oh, I have. Really? I've kind of browned out a couple times. I've came probably close.

Coin flip, probably. You're a very responsible drinker all the time. It's like you you know your level you're kind of like that's why i always count my cans really i titled i think i kind of count your cans because like 15 is like basically my max that's 15 that's a good amount i mean you're i mean that's that's a lot that is a lot but you're a big dude you're a big dude you can handle 15 that's a lot but i don't think I've really strayed over that, because if I start getting to the point where I'm starting to get too drunk, I can just feel it, and I'm like, this

can... This is... The point of no return. I have definitely a good enough drunkenness where I don't need to add anymore. I can let this fucking paper off. That's when I hit the... When I hit that point, and then I'm just like the kool-aid man and just fucking keep going why i don't know but i think stop with hard alcohol isn't that an alcoholic

i don't have to drink every day well but i don't that's fair i think it happens typically more with hard alcohol because you're like i'm gonna take these bam bam bam i don't really feel bam bam and then it all hits you at once and now it's got it's too late see that's why i don't like mixed drinks like whether i'm making them or at a bar because every time i i don't know if i'm putting one shot in two shot three shots and then mixing it or like how deluded it is with the soda whatever i'm mixing it with. Where like if I take like six shots, I know what six shots is going to do to me. Or if I take four, eight, whatever it is. Right.

Like it's more control. Like I'd be like, oh, if I take six shots, I'm getting to this level. And with hard alcohol, it's also the speed at which it's going down. That is true. A typical shot of 40% alcohol, 80 proof, is the alcoholic equivalent of one 12-ounce beer. If you take six shots in a row, that's like shotgunning six beers in a row. That'd get you pretty fucked up. Yeah, it will. Just a little lesson for you out there count your cans i'm gonna i'm always

gonna say that we should make a shirt called count your count your cans know what your number is okay don't push your numbers yes if you're responsible though because for your birthday i drank 22 throughout the entire day my birthday this most recent birthday i didn't count my cans so i don't even know how much I had to drink. And that was honestly kind of a frightening thought. I only know because the next... And the year before that, I kissed my mom. But always count your cans.

We'll let that out. Know your number. Know where you're at. There's an um. Zane. Count your ums. I had a... Count your ums. I had a... Count your ums.

I thought of this funny story. Play a game with Zane. This isn't a game, but this is kind of a fun topic. I should have came up with a game. I was thinking about it. We can always do another episode. Yeah, and you're not going anywhere. Especially not to New York. Yeah, and you're not going anywhere. Especially not to New York.

Yeah, thank goodness. You fought back that um, dude. I wanted to say it. That's why he listens. I thought about putting up a sign. Clap, thumbnail, and um. Because I always forget to clap before and after.

You should get one right there, Neon. And then I want to start recording thumbnail thumbnail thumbnail images more to try to create better engagement those beers i've only had two shit and then a um to remind myself not to say um so much but usually my games entail i don't know i don't know if this is kind of a shitty thing of me usually my games entail... I don't know if this is kind of a shitty thing of me. Usually my games entail, I go, what is something you think you have knowledge of? And I'm going to quiz to see if you actually do or not.

Like with Cam, it's like movie quotes. Or with you, like your Minnesota Vikings. You obviously know Cam probably doesn't know it. And that's what the fun... That was kind of the whole basis for the Step Brothers game. Because I would say. You're setting him up for failure. Yeah.

And it's funny. No, but I would say. No, it's because he says he knows him. And then Jake would say a quote. And Kevin goes, what's that from? I'm like, your literal movie that you say you watch every week? Yeah. He's like, oh, I didn't know.

I'm like. Oh. Anyways. Obviously not. I think it's his ADHD. He just can't. I don just can't i don't know i don't know there was another game we played where we like we blinded that yep we blind taste tested beer so we kind of were testing our own each other's knowledges but i don't know i'll come up with

the game i'll get in the lab cook something up But the thing I wanted to talk about was, and I don't know what made me think of this, but the other day I was at work, and I think I was listening to a podcast where they used this term. They used the term trophy wife, right? Do you know what that term means? Yes. So they, you might know where I'm going with this. There was a girl at my high school that...

I think someone was like, what do you want to... What are you trying to pursue as a career after high school? And I think... I swear to God, she just goes, I'm just going to just be a trophy wife. I'm like, that's not a profession that you can strive for. First of all, you need to be hot for that yeah i think you're just kind of born into it you're not i mean you're kind of born into it you either you either got it or you don't i'm like i don't think you know i don't know what kind of guy

would take you as a trophy wife maybe if you wanted a participation ribbon but so anyways i don't know i thought about i i just couldn't like i didn't really like this person like her friend group she was in i kind of didn't really like any of them i found them annoying but just the that was just the sugar on like the frosting on top of the am i saying that it's cherry on the cherry on top the cherry on top. The cherry on top. Yeah, there you go. The frost. The cherry on top. She said her career choice was trophy wife. It's like, that's not. You can't put that. Is that a major in college where you just go and fucking work out?

I don't know. I don't know, man. There's some wicked majors in college. There really is. So, he plays for the Salt Dogs. Yep. Was drafted by the Salt Dogs. Yep. Was drafted by the Brewers. Mm-hmm. And we point, like we said at the beginning of this episode, sometimes we'll kind of troll you.

Because I know... I like this. You've talked... He got some thirsty bitches on you or what? Because that's what he's getting at. Yeah, you've talked to us about this before where you're like, I don't like really talking about it. And that's why we troll you because you're like, there's some girls that are just like, oh. And it's just like so just like fake.

Just like, what's the word I'm trying to think of? They're just fake. They just want to be his trophy. Setting up a false front. A dependopotamus? Disingenuous. Okay. So just disingenuous.

They're just trying to get with them to be a trophy yeah basically so or they're like a professional player and then you're like yeah play for the salt dogs and they're just like how much money do you make so the term like i don't know if we or like athletes use is like they're called a depend upon us which is basically a woman we wouldn't know anything about that I'll explain it but it's basically I mean I guess it would be even like a groupie But it's like a woman that pursues

Like an athlete Or Because of their status Whether it's like a singer or just a high profile Man like quote on quote Like a high profile man they want to Sleep with him basically to better their ego right because that way like when they wake up they can tell their friends like oh i

slept with who's soup like so and so whatever and it makes themselves feel good about themselves or like it's a woman like like oh he's in the nfl or he's like a this and that and they try and get like knocked up so like they can get their. You know what I mean? It's like they're dependapotas. They're depending on someone else's status to better themselves. That's kind of like Tyreek Hill. Yeah, or like Nick Cannon or something. I don't know. Well, Tyreek Hill has like 10 kids now.

Or even like Trevor Bauer. Like the Trevor Bauer story with that woman that basically ruined his career. I don't know if you want to go that deep into that one. I have this exact question written down. Has anyone tried to steal your precious seed? And if so, have you had to Drake any of them? Meaning put hot sauce in the condom when you're done. So if they try to get a little pleasant surprise and they're a little coochie mama. What?

Yeah. I can say the files. I guess I could say I could think of one time. Now, this is a specific question because it's about like steal your seed. But the general question still implies. Has anyone like have you ever been like this is a specific question because it's about like steal your seed but the general question still implies has anyone like have you ever been like this is so you're just trying to get at whatever it is that you think that you're going to gain from just being with me not just because you want to be with me i mean especially when i was with the brewers because like

obviously during spring training or whatever, like there's bars all around all the stadiums or whatever. And you're pretty high class at that point. Yeah, and, like, it's very – like you could tell an athlete apart from a frat boy pretty easily, you know what I mean? Especially to, like, that standard of level we're playing at. So, like, that and being in Arizona, like Scottsdale, Arizona State, they'll flock to whatever table you're sitting at.

So they just kind of congregate near you. Yeah, and it's very – I mean – Is it pretty obvious where you're just like, normally this would never be happening? Yeah, if I was back home in Seattle, this would never be happening. But I'm in took if i was like back home in like seattle like this would never be happening but i'm in arizona right now spring tanning is going on like this doesn't happen to anyone girls don't just come up to you oh no never and initiate conversation with you yeah like even like yeah like that situation never happens so what is that like to have a girl just like fawning over you and you're just like, this is so disingenuous.

I mean, part of it is, I've got to say, it's probably got to be nice. I mean, it is, but it's also like, you know, you're wasting my time. Right. And you know what they're doing. Especially if you're after a relationship. Yeah. Like a lot of guys kind of like it because it fuels their ego. It boosts their ego.

And it boosts their ego because, you know, especially like you're an athlete. Getting treated like royalty. Yeah, you already have like an inflated ego. A lot of guys do, but I don't know. God, I do not want to know what kind of asshole I would be if I was in that situation. There's two different. I can only imagine. I don't know.

I feel like there's two different types of athletes. Because if I were to look at all the teams I've been on, you got the half that are married, just playing because they love the game and living the family life. And then you got the degenerates. Is there a lot of salt dogs that are like married? I'd say it's like your teammates right now.

Yeah. I'd say majority of our team are either like married, engaged, or in like a, like a serious, a longterm, like serious relationship. I'd say at least five or six were probably married.

Oh, good catch. But I'd say at least like, I'd say four or five were probably married like another three to four that were engaged and then i'd say like the rest are in like a serious relationship so those guys you're saying are just like true gamers they love baseball and they just are grateful that they're able to have a career of it and provide for their family yeah and then the other side of it are guys that are like i like i'm the shit like i like like i am an athlete and like

so i mean he kind of falls no no no no no no no no no it's not it's not black and white it's no yeah i wouldn't say i'm a dude. I would not say I'm a dude. I've had some very intoxicated, deep garage conversations with Zane. And I know. I got you, buddy. I know you're not that kind of guy. We've had really good garage talk. And not even just that. Even just at the golf course where you've told me, okay, let me put it to you this way.

Would you work at this golf course if you didn't have to? No. Exactly. I just love working. If you think he's not humble, wanting to go weedy just to pass the time, that's about as humble as it fucking gets my friend i i feel like i mean i've played what i just finished my fifth year professional baseball i feel like i get miss i don't even know the term for this miss like judged um like i feel like like i've talked to like a lot of girls and they'll be like

pegged in the wrong hole like that did not sound right it did not wrong pegged wrong yeah whereas like pegged you wrong like say if like like i'm like talking to a girl and like we're talking for a while and she's like oh like you're really nice like this and that like like why are you single like like obviously i've run into a like a lot of bad relationships or women, and I'm obviously looking for the right one. But my first impression of you before I started talking to you was you kind of come across like a douchebag. But then say we talk for a couple weeks, you're actually kind of nice, blah, blah, blah.

At what point in the relationship or talking standpoint do you come out and say, yeah, like I play baseball? I don't bring it up because that's actually – That's a good question. When you're starting to get into a serious relationship, at a certain point you have to bring it up. Yes, because you got to – Yeah. They have to get to know you.

At what point do you bring that up? Because you don't want to just like first state be like, yeah, I play for dog yeah and because you're not that kind of comes back to like that type of person yeah and that kind of comes back to like you know the two different spectrums like you got the you know the egoistic guys and then like the guys that are like like they love what they do and they feel grateful like we'll go to a bar and like the first like they'll meet a girl and be like oh i play professional baseball they're like you like oh, what do you do? And they're like then this is like oh I play professional baseball like they'll slip it in right away Cuz like they know what they're doing cuz like they know like a lot of like oh really

But so when you go out like that, do you just kind of like you just like oh actually I tell fake stories Okay, so fake stories. So if someone says, what do you do? Because you're obviously out with the team. It depends on who I'm talking to. If we went out to a bar right now after this, and you struck up a conversation with a girl, and she said, what do you do? What would you say? It's completely... It would be different if she was with us.

No, no, no. It's not different at all. If she said, where do you work? What would you say? Willard's Ridge. Hey. That is not different at all. If she said, where do you work? What would you say? Wilderness Ridge. Hey. That is my job right now. It would be different with us than if he was with the baseball team.

So, like, during the season? Yeah. Like, if you're out at the bar with your team, they're obviously going to know. Okay. I got a funny story for this. They're not in fucking uniform. Well, I mean, if there's that big a group of guys correct me if i'm wrong a group of baseball guys probably looks a little bit more

like civilians than a group of football guys yeah oh 100 or like an nba or basketball player right but even at the same time like it's like i'll go back to like the situation say if it's just like some like drunk like girl like you know she's like more on like the situation say if it's just like some like drunk like girl like you know she's like more on like the slutty side she's just like trying to hook up with you and you're like not interested you know what i mean and it's just like i could be like oh yeah like i play baseball and it's like but it's game it is but but like say if like i'm just like totally uninterested like i'm just trying to hang out with the boys we're inside a bar i'll like we all have done this but she'll be like oh what do you do i'll be like uh like me and my friends we're just in town we work construction like for alignment and she's

like oh no way i'm like yeah there was a storm last weekend like a lot of powers down so they like brought us in from like the next state over so we're just kind of like helping out she still wants to fuck you you're just like yes because you want to fuck me for this yeah exactly because of my ass and baseball pants yeah but it's just it's so much fun because like say if like you two are on my team like they'll hear me say that and be like but yeah my friend they'll like join and be like like yeah like we've been like we just got out of lineman school so we're just trying to get all the hours we can and it's like we'll just like run this fake story off for a while and obviously like as as it goes on like they start to figure it out unless they're a complete bimbo

right but they'll be like no you're not like y'all look like like athletes or something like and we're like okay yeah we're actually just in town playing baseball and they're like oh we knew it and you're like well i don't use rope to climb the poles i'm just fucking really i'm just fucking buff just climb up there just hold on to the wire you know what i mean just yeah use these yeah from using the wrench and climbing up all those telephone poles i will you're like i like to jog yeah only on the weekends you're like well we don't have a bus so we have to run to all of our job sites we have to carry all our equipment on backpacks right that's funny um because yeah we not not too long ago we kind of we sometimes do it to you just to troll you like there was one time we were at a stars game and we said it to a kid and he was like i think

i know that guy and we were just like oh that was kind of one of the times that backfired that was the only that was the only like most of the time i did like i'm like kind of annoyed but like i'm not really because like it like it cappies when you told that like remember that mexican family and like we ended up like talking with them for like a couple hours like that was great i that was like no way like i told him my whole story and like he was like they were like really big like dodgers fan we ended up like talking about baseball for like an hour. That turned into a great conversation and a great night. Would it piss you off if you were like trying to talk to a girl you actually were interested in? We're like, he plays for the Salt Dogs. You'd be like, no way.

Would that probably piss you off more if it was like someone you're actually trying to have a genuine connection with? Probably not because I think that would just – you being like the quote-unquote wingman. Because then it's like, oh, fuck oh fuck you know like I guess I do yeah kinda you know fuck but like I said if I was a fucking soul thug

everyone would know it wouldn't be a hidden secret to each their own oh but that that situation I do remember that when the little kid was like hey I think I know him

and you were like yeah he plays for the salt dogs but like I was like belligerently like drunk you know what I mean I'm like this is just like it was a snake night yeah it was

but like I don't know you know what I mean like from my perspective like I just I feel like it's like it was in passing we're like our friend plays like i just i feel like it's like it was in passing we're like our friend please thank you yeah sorry i'm like i have i have 30 fucking

cups in my hand yeah i'm an athlete can you fucking tell me what i mean like but i hate i hate that stigma the like athletes like you know the social media athlete like they wake up eat their three square meals they drink a gallon of water today yeah i work out five days a week blah blah blah and i'm like you get to professional sports steel cut oats and egg whites you know what i mean 90 athletes like whether it's baseball football basketball like i mean i've met you know you know a few guys in the nba nfl but like on the weekends, they're hanging out, drinking beers, eating pizza. I bet there's a large percentage of people.

It's very casual. There's a small amount of athletes that actually stick to a strict diet. Well, I was going to say. I'm not saying like. Derek Henry is a strict-ass diet. Really? Oh, yeah. No fried foods.

No gluten. No blah, blah, blah. He could have celiac blah blah maybe a celiac i mean no he's just like that's how strict his diet is i was gonna say i bet there's a large percentage of professional athletes that are like yeah obviously the paycheck is fucking great like i'm taking care of my whole family's taking care of but when i go out i wish i could switch it off and no one knows me you probably yeah like a high you're talking like a high profile like lebron or like like shohei otani like someone like like a big applebee's i think fucking wing deal like but everyone is fucking just staring at well i think like if you would take like an average like nfl player that's like like a punter or kicker and you know they're making

really good money but like you think that's a sweet spot that is a sweet spot if you take their helmets off and they go out in their crowd they're not gonna look any different exactly we can't fucking tell like that kicker took its helmet off like in everyday clothes who's like talking to i think i was talking to Ben where I was like, I feel like any time I go into Hy-Vee and I see someone wearing all Husker gear, I'm like, is that a Husker player? I was like, I wonder how many times people have thought that about me. Because you're like 6'6", 260 or whatever.

If I wore a Husker shirt and a Husker hat and they always wore slides. Have you ever noticed that? They never wear... I feel like they're probably so tired from workouts and stuff. They're like, I'm not going to tie shoes if I don't have to. I'm just going to the grocery store.

That brings in the topic. Eli that we work with, he said he sees Ty Robinson at Hy-Vee all the time. I feel like that's the thing. They're always at Hy-Vee. I think they might have a deal at Hy-Vee all the time. I feel like that's the thing. They're always at Hy-Vee. Yeah. I think there's a – they might have a deal with Hy-Vee. Probably.

I think that's one of our sponsors. They literally have a cutout. I bet it's a sponsorship. Anyways. They want them to go there so people see them and they're like, oh, shit, so-and-so shops here too, so I should go to Hy-Vee. They get all their food here. Right.

I don't know. Probably. So I think I might start doing that. I might start just like wearing only Husker gear. Just troll people. And then they ask like, yeah. And slides. With third string tight end.

And then just start walking around with my chest out. Yeah. Third string tight end. Just start walking around with my chest out. Do you know how many people would believe me? A hundred. Dude. If I was like, yeah, I've been to the Huskers.

They'd be like, what's your name? I'd be like, Jake Hill. I just transferred. I'm a transfer portal. They'd be like, oh shit. Where were you at? And i'm a transfer portal they'd be like oh shit where were you at and i was like fucking see washington oh my god i think i heard about you and i'm like yeah i'm basically gonna like i was talking to matt rule and like dylan and like we're gonna make we're making some big moves and i think we're gonna dude we're gonna make a run for the ship this year they'd probably be like fuck yeah let me get your autograph can i

get a selfie and be like yeah yeah dude you need to do that it'd be like the inverse of like it'd be like the inverse of me like i go out and i'm like yeah i'm a lineman you could be like yeah i play for the huskers i'm telling you right now you need to start mic'd up hyvee trolling dude i'm telling you right now with the tiktok and youtube that's a specific thing too no one's done that pretending to be a husker football player you got a lot of good ideas for like vlogs and you just need to make it happen. I think I think the pro I think going to a golf course with a bag of probes be like like, oh, shotgun is beer faster me. I'll give you 12 probes. Oh, yeah.

He wants me to do the Ronnie Deutsch thing. And I'm like, I don't have. I don't. But I don't. True. You don't. But you don't. I mean, he was like, he was. Did you see the video You don't. But you don't. I mean. He was at like a.

He was. Did you see the video of him? Oh, he does tailgates, dude. I know. He just sits in the tailgate. Imagine how many frat boys. Every frat boy fucking golfs. I just saw.

I think it was like his most recent video. He was out like. It looked like he was outside a frat house at Ohio State. Yeah. And there was guys just in a line. And I'm like. I can't fucking do that. It was Wisconsin.

It was Ohio State. Yeah, but if you go to like. He just did Wisconsin. I swear to God it was Ohio State ohio state yeah but if you go to like wisconsin god it was ohio state he did wisconsin with the garbage beers i wish i could shock and i'd do it oh whatever whatever they he's like a he he's on tour he's not he's like a comedian on tour but for beer drinking where he just goes to college towns and just out drinks everyone and just makes fucking what a money hand over fist dude what a lot i wonder what his tolerance is everyone is everyone in the comments is like 400 and you caught a good buzz i'm like caught a good buzz he just shot like 15 beers in a row yeah he goes he goes behind the nearest port-a-potty

probably just fucking i would hope you could rally him full circle all right i have another thing jotted down here we're at 55 minutes typically we go about an hour but you know what in the spirit of me being like an hour 20 last one and zane being on um because basically i theme all my topics around something funny that i thought of and I'm like how can we form this into a topic so the next topic and this is going to be a huge jump to the left here but and your guys's um high school and this can still tie in because we're getting a little more of your backstory and your guys's high school what was the bullying like? Was there any bullying? Oh, yeah. But you were at a small high school. Okay.

What was your graduating class size? Ten. Holy shit. Bro, if you're a bully, the whole town knows. We had nine Americans, one foreign exchange student. Holy fuck. Okay. That's crazy.

That's crazy, man. So there was bad bullying? What kind? Like physical? Not really physical we'll get to my joke in a minute but but keep going I'm interested

there was a lot of mental bullying okay that was kind of what mine was like a little bit oh yeah if you were like if you didn't play sports you were an outcast and you got... You were a bundle of sticks. Well, yeah.

If one kid didn't play football, you didn't have enough to fucking make a team. Oh, fuck. He played eight man. Yeah. Did you really? Yeah. No way. Now they play six man.

He played six? Yeah. Fuck it. Just play five football. Why don't they just play two and touch or recess? We need six-man. Yeah. We'd be getting a lot of money for these fucking helmets and shit.

If you didn't go out for any sports or anything, oh boy. We're going to have to do co-ed football. Oh boy, it was bad. Hey, Becky, you're the center. The girl with the nicest ass is the center? Jesus Christ. It was bad. Hey, Becky, you're the center. The girl with the nicest ass is the center? Jesus Christ. It was bad. Okay, what?

I'm sorry. We went from bullying to sexual harassment real quick. All right, what? Lights are hitting. Okay, what was the bullying like there? It was just a bunch of mental games. Just like, oh, you don't play football? Pussy.

Bundle of sticks. That and, like, if they would, like, try to, like, oh, you don't play football? Pussy. Bundle of sticks. Then, like, if they would try to, like, lunch was really bad because the teachers were kind of like. The clicks? Yeah, if you were like sat at the. What click were you in? The jock click. Okay. I'm jocking them.

I'm jocking them. Show up Friday at school with the letter jacket. Yeah, you had the letter jacket on and the toothpick and you were leaning up against your like the convertible car or whatever i don't know like grease probably i didn't play basketball but i did football and track you you could totally do a grease character for halloween oh i could yeah anyways yeah but yeah like if you sat at the wrong table oh you hear about it oh yeah it would be the entire lunch period the in that group would like if they sat too close to the jog group it'd just be the entire period like what the fuck are you doing like who the fuck do you think you

are it would just be like the that's not necessarily that's just and then after that's like verbal bullying yeah and then there's no physical like shoving into lockers or swirlies but then after that it would just be like the the rest of the week into the next week and like if they just snowball it's just snowballs oh yeah i was say... I mean, the jocks really bullied each other. We used to do this thing where... Is it like hazing or they're like, I don't like this dude. No, it was just kind of like, well, you play football, so we know we can fuck with each other. And a lot of it was like, we would do like, if you're walking down the hallway you kick the back foot out

so they don't try to make them trip oh yeah and then i don't know if that's really bullying i feel like that's more like that's more like it's not bullying until the one kid caught the edge of a locker and busted out his fucking teeth then we're throwing hands or like i was gonna say really like it was like verbal like mental stuff with yeah everyone else and then like if you're in that clique it's like the football clique like yeah they basically fucked with each other so i was gonna say uh did you did you want to talk about yours i was gonna say that's just a completely... Because you're from a smaller town, right? I'm from here, Lincoln.

Lincoln? I went to Lincoln. I guess Lincoln... That's right. My graduating class was like 50-ish. See, that's still really... It's pretty small. I went to a pretty small high school, quote unquote,

but our graduating class was like 300-something. That's like a small school for Washington, so it's just a completely different high school this could be really interesting because you had insanely small big and kind of somewhere in the middle so going from insanely small to yours i bet you saw all sorts of shit dude like or what was it like bullying wise and you had diversity like that wasn't me my that was my first he did that was gonna be my first point is like there's a lot more like diverse crowd right like different like ethnicities oh yeah i didn't personalities to be honest i didn't see my first like black person in real life until i was in college see like that's just like that's just wild to me like that you associated with as a classmate no like just as in general at all in real life yeah because no school around well i didn't come

up to lincoln ever or go anywhere like would you say a lot of a lot of people from here are like racist no no see I don't I wouldn't say that because it's just like we aren't diverse like yeah there's no diversity like and like I would say people like from Nebraska there's really no racism it's just I don't think so either it's a majority white but it's like oh it's a people are very nice but like it's just like it's just like in all the surrounding towns where us like around us we're the same size and by kind of different i mean like that that didn't sound right basically there's no racism it's just they're few and far between yeah it's just yeah nebraska's really made up of two big cities and and that's about it.

The rest of Nebraska's... Which aren't even really... In comparison, I'm talking in the general whole of the country, it's not a big city. But yes, for the state, it's a big city, but... 200,000 is not... When in other parts of the country, you're talking about millions, multi-millions. To me, Omaha is fucking huge. Right.

And I hate going into Omaha. Right. Okay, so what was bullying like at your school? I mean, so it's completely different. Because if you take a look at the lunchroom, you have the band kids. It's like 30 to 40. They would all eat lunch together. Then you have the athletes. And then you have usually like... Did you have, like, the band kids. It's, like, 30 to 40. Like, they would all eat lunch together. Then you have, like, the athletes.

And then you have, like, usually, like. Did you have different teams? You guys keep talking. I get a piss really bad. Do you have, like, different team cliques? Like, you have your baseball team, your football team, your soccer team. And it's not, like, if you look at the football team. Yeah, like, if you look at the football team, like, not everybody's, like, friends. Yeah. Because it's all different.

Black people would usually click together. Then you have the anime nerds type thing. They would all hang out. It's all separated throughout the high school. But if you look at the lunchroom, you really wouldn't notice. But everybody would hang out together. If you would go into my lunchroom... Would you say everybody just looks the same?

How they dress, how they acted. Everybody was more similar. You obviously have that couple weird kids. That's just like anything. If you were in the sports if you were in the sports you were in the jock group yep and yeah that's it like that's the entire like football especially like if you were i would say if you're good like if you were a good like football basketball baseball player like that's who you hung out with and And then you had, like, the nuts. Ours wasn't even good. Like, my senior year, like, if you were on the football team

or basketball team or track team, like, we all, like, were, like, together. And that's seniors through freshmen. That's where, like. We're, like, all in a line. Yeah. Well, that's where, like, we different. Like, so many people tried out for football, basketball, and stuff. Like, you had the varsity JV and C team. But, like, the varsity, like, the good athletes, like, we different – like, so many people tried out for football, basketball, and stuff. Like, you had the varsity JV and C team, but, like, the varsity,

like, the good athletes, like, that was, like, a group. And, like, everybody else is, like, kind of, like, oh, you're on the team, but we, like – Like, not in, like, a dick way. Like, you're just not, like, associated with them. Age might have had something to do with it. And then, like, hazing was a big thing, too. Like, I remember my freshman

year of baseball me and my best friend anthony like we both i remember like it was a big deal because like i mean we were we were both very good at baseball like just sports in general well yeah i mean you got like we made yeah yeah yeah like yes like i was i was always like i was always the best player on the team growing up and then then when I got to high school, I remember I tried out for baseball. And, like, a senior. Like, did it piss the seniors off? Like, I remember a senior, we had, like, TV productions together. And, like, there was, like, probably three, like, varsity baseball players that were seniors.

And they're like, oh, dude, like, what team do you think you're going to make? Like, oh, I think I'm going to make varsity. I'm like, no, dude, like, you'll play JV. It was like, there's no way. I was like, no. You're like, no. I dude like you'll play jv it was like there's no way i was like no you're like no i was like i was like actually like answer i was like no like i really think i'm actually i did end up taking one of those kids' spots yeah but like i was like no i think i'm gonna make varsity like i remember when it came out like they're like oh yeah you're on varsity you're like just be better dude i was like cool like i didn't like i was never like

arrogant about it but like i made it like i just kind of went about my way, but it pissed a lot of them off. I remember the guy that played second base was a senior, and he kind of ended up making errors and stuff. I remember we were playing our rival, North Kitsap, and it was mid-game, and I went into the fourth inning. I ended up getting two hits, getting a couple RBIs. Our freshman year, we went undefeated, and I helped us beat our rival, who was also undefeated at the time we beat him.

We were like 15-0. They were 15-0, and it was a big deal. But there was a lot of – I got hazed like a motherfucker. I remember during practice after I made varsity, we used to practice at – it was like the old Berman and Junior High. It's like an abandoned – the whole school is still're still there but it's abandoned but we still use the gym and that's where we practice baseball inside because i'm yeah washington rains all the time and would you call the do you use like the rubber balls yeah would you call them would you call

them safety five they're called safety five we call them incredible balls really yeah because they're like i fucking hated those yeah you don't get a true bounce. No. Nope. God, I hated that gym. It was like yellow lighting and it smelled like crack. Dude, it was horrible. Everybody hated it. But I remember one day, like all the seniors came together and they wanted to like haze me and Anthony because freshmen run varsity. That's bullshit.

Like stop being so good. You're like, I can't help how good I am. I kind of just, so my brother was a junior and like they were all his friends so like i knew who they were like i've like i wouldn't say i hung out with them because like you know i was a freshman i hung out with like the freshman but like i've you know what i mean like they've been over to my house like my brother hung out with them like i know who they are they know who i am you're gonna hang out with the guys that are in your grade but then you're gonna get lumped into the higher up guys yeah because like that's what i'm practicing because most of the other freshmen were on like

jv but like now i'm hanging out with all the juniors and seniors now and because you play with them yeah and but they want the hazemies and like one day at practice they're like all right like we're like we're gonna do we're gonna paddle you and anthony i was like paddle paddle like and so they go get coaches. Were the coaches not there? Oh, no, they didn't give a fuck. What? Dude, our coach was so cool. Ours didn't either. Grab my bongo.

Dude, we were so, like, dude, I could tell another story, but our coach was, he was very cool. Don't say anything that you shouldn't. I won't. Okay. So I won't say that. But he was very cool. Like, he was actually probably one of my favorite coaches growing up.

Our coaches didn't care about hazing either. But he was, like. There's a difference between hazing and hustle. It wasn't like bullying. Like, fuck you, we're going to haze you. It was like jokes. Like, oh, you know, like the olden days. We're going to haze you because we're older and you're younger. It's like initiation.

Right. It's just like a way of. Yeah. I mean, ours was getting respect. When they told me, I was like, okay like whatever anthony was that way too i was like i think i'm man enough to do this school hazing at my school there's some pretty bad hazing in my school like i'll put you in a locker and fucking piss through the cracks or what i don't know okay so like i don't even know what it was there was like elephant trains and huh i don't know oh like

making you guys walking and holding each other's dicks yeah that that happened i love where like i got a haze that's like sexually assaulted no that sounds like that's some blue mountain state shit and then there was like we're gonna do oil changes and there was like where's my pocket pussy there was like uh taking like cold ass showers right before practice and then i want to see how small your dick ain't get like there was there was some pretty rough stuff. Yeah. Not because I'm gay, but I think it's funny. Dude, I got hazed more as a sophomore than I did a freshman. But that's when I took a senior starting position as a sophomore.

Oh, it was bad. I about quit football. I was done. Why? Because they were putting you through some rough shit? Oh, yeah. I went to hell in practice. Well, let me lighten the mood a little bit. Yeah.

I went to fucking hell. So the bullying at the school I went to was a lot more naughty. You also went to a Christian school. Yep. I went to Lincoln Lutheran. It was like a private school. I feel like that's a little different. It was lot all the way here yeah clean your shit up in my presence hey tuck that shirt in get your uniform on so we didn't have uniforms we didn't have uniforms that's good

so i would say the bullying was not even like verbal. It was psychological. It was like kind of like intellectual bullying, kind of off colored remarks. And also like some families that were there had pretty good money. So the clicks were like a financial click. Yeah. Like my parents are rich. It did not always devolve, dissolve, revolve. I don't know.

We know what you mean. It didn't always come to the richest kids hang out together and the different like middle class kids. There was some athletes and whatever. Boy, daddy's a lawyer. some you know athletes and whatever and and the whole lawyer all the different like girls i didn't know what the fuck was going on with that either but basically that was kind of like popular and unpopular and also like upper class and lower class the bullying was very psychological. It was kind of like, I'm better than you, and I know I am, and you know that you're lower than me because my family goes to this church, and my family has more money than you. And I'm going to let you know. Also, not really even let you know.

I'm going to just be a dick to you. Yeah, just don't give you the time of day. Yeah, they're just like, I don't even associate with you. Yeah. I don't even hang out with you or talk to you at all because I'm only going to talk to the people I like and want to associate with. Also, some of it had to do with like, I had three brothers that went here before me. So, since sixth grade, all the teachers know my last name. So, I'm better than you. Yeah. So, it's like a last name type thing all yeah there was a lot of that's how my school was like a hierarchy is that like it's kind of a hierarchy yeah and like the coaches are like definitely a small town like ours is like if

you had the right last name right like you're gonna be just fine you're more likely to start over someone even if they're better than you just because of your last name it was that sort of thing they did last names so being really being a christian school like was there ever any like fights there was zero fist fights dude zero see that's we didn't have any ends the worst it ever got was maybe in like middle school. Someone shoved someone else. That was more.

I've seen some brutal shit. I'm sure you have a football field. Like not even during contact sports. Do we have really bad in football? Like helmets getting ripped off. None of that. And our coach would just sit there. And then after like,

it was like kind of getting over he'd blow his whistle but he wasn't gonna do anything he let the players just duke it out like right if you're gonna fucking i like you're gonna go at it like that is a good i feel like that's a realistic approach to life where it's just like like these two kids in real life if you get in a fight with someone there's not going to be someone someone's not going to say worthy to break it up and save you no if you want to fucking knock heads with someone you're gonna have to suffer the consequences like obviously if it gets to some point really break it up as if the one other player like

wasn't like trying like if it got too far it's like you step in like all right like that's enough but like if they're both going at it he's just like hey let it be both willing hey yeah say you said something kid you gotta you're gonna get your ass beat and then if it gets to some point like all right all right he's had enough it's like i think i think this world needs more of that you know what i mean builds character teaches you a lesson uh yeah i'll take one more. So the funny joke, and again, this whole conversation stemmed from just something that some guys that were in two grades above me said to me once just in passing. And I was just like, thinking back, I sometimes will think about it, and I'll be like, that was so unnecessary for them to say. And it should get a good laugh. So it was like at a basketball game or a volleyball game.

This is where the psychological, I don't even know if you would consider this bullying, but it was just an unnecessary statement that I feel like they said to make me feel bad for whatever reason about myself I don't know so it was that like a basketball or a volleyball game and I went and got um it was either nachos or a pretzel I think I want to say it was a pretzel um with cheese you know on the side you know those little plastic things where they give so I went the cinnamon I went and got that for whatever the reason the cheese was like kind of dark i don't know why it was like darker and i was like it was so weird because like the bullying quote unquote it was like even if you

thought you were like friends with someone or like talking with someone or like making you know being friendly with someone they would sometimes still say something like outlandish shit yeah and it's just like out of pocket are you still trying to like just make me feel bad like so what happened was i was talking with these guys that were two grades above me standing with them in the student section kind of talking with them and i go and i get this like soft pretzel with nacho cheese allegedly and i come back and i start eating it because i'm hungry and i wanted a snack or whatever and one of them just goes that cheese looks like chester cheetos cum and i go am i supposed to go like I don't know

how to respond to this should I go throw this away you know do I do I continue to eat this do I like laugh this off and be like yeah it is and it tastes fucking good you know what I mean

or I'm like what am I supposed to do with that you know what you're right it does I can't eat this fucking shit what am I supposed to say how do I respond to this

this is what I mean this is what I would consider psychological bullying where he's like am I supposed to feel bad about eating this? Like, am I making a joke or is he shitting on me? Was it a joke? See what I mean? Like, I guess that is psychological bullying because you don't know.

It was the most unnecessary comment that was... That cheese looks like chester cheetos cum so if i keep eating this am i like gay in your eyes because i'm eating like yeah yeah dude's gay did you have any like altercations with your rivals oh oh fuck like sports you? Yeah. Like your rival schools? Oh, fuck. No. We did.

It was bad. Ours was bad. We talking like physical altercations? Oh, yeah. Ours was bad, dude. I don't think we ever did. But we vandalized. So, actually, that same year we went undefeated in baseball.

So, North Kitsap had this giant rock out front of their school. It was like just a huge boulder, not just a rock. But it was – I had to drop that in there. But anyways, it was like painted their school colors. This guy is lit with the SpongeBob memes. Dude, I'm always on top of him. Dude, he is all over those SpongeBob memes. This was before my time, alter the one that we did

hold on hold on let me just finish real quick let me finish real quick but they had this giant rock and like they said it had their school name on it it was probably their colors like yeah but like all the athletes like write their name on it and like we beat them and we were undefeated like because we played them twice we beat them the one time that was the story before we beat them again we're at their place. And all of us got in like, we all got in our cars and we drove out there. They were like purple and yellow. We were like blue and gold.

And we took spray paint. I was navy blue and gold. Were you royal blue and gold? Royal blue. But we took spray paint. Maroon and gold. Maroon and gold. Okay. So we took spray paint.

We spray painted the whole rock. And we wrote BHS, Berman High School. We painted it all blue. And we left. What was it, and we wrote BHS, Bremerton High School. We painted it all blue, and we left. What was it? BH what? BHS, Bremerton High School. What? Bremerton.

Bremerton. Yep. You said it so fast, I was like. Sorry. B-R-E-M-E-R-T-O-N. The reason I was asking this is because I thought you said Bremerton. Bremerton. Birmingham?

Like, peaky folk and blinders. Anyways. Yeah. Yeah, that was like the only, we were like, ha, like, like, fuck you. We won. This was before my time. But our rivals, one of my buddies. Learn how to have a conversation.

One of my buddy's dad. One of my buddy's dad. He said, so we all played on grass fields. So he said at the beginning of the season, they went out to our rivals, which is like seven miles away. And they spray painted jets across their 50 yard line and the grass died. Oh, so they had jets and like spray painted across their field for the entire year. And it was just like dead grass. That's funny.

That's that's that's that's sad. Oh, it. Oh, it took some bad altercation so you remember your uh pound of pint partner ice yep my mom and you remember what she said to you i went to college so when she was in college so i went to college. Okay. That's enough for me. He needed a sub for his pound a pint partner. And my mom stood in for him. Second place, baby.

And he goes, can you pound a pint? Like a beer. And she goes, I went to college. It was enough for me. And they got second place. That's a great line. So the college she went to, I don't even know. Shout out Mama Kim. I don't know legally if this could have any impact on her now so i'm gonna leave it ambiguous the college she went to was rivals with another college

a few miles away i'm trying to i'm trying to think how i can i don't even know both in nebraska i don't even know if Peru had a rival. Both in Nebraska within 50 miles of each other, I'll say. I'm trying to leave it ambiguous because I don't know if there's any legal repercussions or not. My mother and her friends went and they wanted to burn the letter of their school into the other school's game field. And they took gasoline out there and wrote the letter in gasoline and someone was like what the fuck are you doing up and they scrammed before they could light it so like you that the gas killed the grass and so their letter was burnt into their field but killed it killed the grass yeah they did it in like maroon

how can spray paint well i guess if you don't use like turf safe spray paint maybe yeah they did it this was like i mean they didn't use marking paint tom didn't go out there with his gun and no yeah it often fuck what we do without that guy they did it in maroon too so it like before it like kind of like grew out there was just like a maroon jets and then it died so they wrote jets yeah damn it's my buddy's dad said it took him from like 10 p.m to like 3 a.m oh my god how many cans did they use they must have wrote it a lot because they did. You said your dad? No, my buddy's dad. He said they did bubble letters.

So what, they have headlamps out there? This is going to look good. They probably just took the big old truck out there. They probably pulled their cars out on the field, honestly. They took their time with it, sounds like. How many you got down there? Just a few. One, two, three, four.

Oh, okay. Just a regular Monday. You guys have each down there? Just a few. One, two, three, four. Oh, okay. Just a regular Monday. You guys have each had four? Mm-hmm. And I've had five? I guess that's why I'm the top cheese. Yep. They don't call you Soup V for nothing.

No one calls me Soup V except for you guys. Yeah, because he's a Soup V supervisor. It's supervisor for sure. It's going to catch. It's going to catch. It is. It'll catch. He's a big deal around here.

I will. There was some debate about whether or not we would raw dog it coming to this episode. I'm glad we all did. We all came directly from work. We're going to do a jersey swap. That's another story. I don't know if we should tell that story or not. We should do that.

I already told that story. I already told that story. We should do that on the podcast. I'd be down. Jersey swap. I'd be down. We'll go upstairs and look at it. Yeah.

Mine's too small. With that being said, I think that's a good spot to end it. Thank you guys all for watching. This has been another episode of the Grass Studies Podcast. Zane, thanks for coming on.
