Marquis Pouncey snapped the ball so high it would have gone over the actual Big Ben. Like it was, that was the start to the game. Then our Hall of Fame QB throws two of the worst picks he's thrown in his entire career. And then it got bad. Happy Friday, Macon. Hey, damn it. I still don't have a comeback for Happy Friday. Hey, Chris, happy Friday to you, man.

That's a good one. Okay. It's natural. Got a pack show today. Yes. Dave Damashek of the minus three with

Jeff Schwartz he's joining us to talk we're just going to shoot the shit about championship teams that we would have liked to have been on I mean for much of my life I would have liked to be on just about any of them you got on to a couple

got on to a couple but as you look back through history and really this started by talking about Browns and bills You've got two teams in the NFL who are starved for championships, fan bases who are really passionate, blue-collar cities. These guys, if they could win this weekend,

you're going to feel the tension in the air. You're going to feel it down in your plums. If you get Cleveland in the AFC championship, if you get a Buffalo Cleveland AFC championship, the Rust Belt is going to be on tilt. Buffalo part of the Rust Belt? I don't know. Western New York, probably not.

Will you look up the Rust Belt, please? Sure, I'd be happy to do that. Bill's have a better shot, you know? I agree. The Rust Belt is a region of the Northeastern and Midwestern United States that has been experiencing industrial decline starting around 1980. Yep, Buffalo's part of it. No, Buffalo is not part of it, is it?

Buffalo just missed out on being in the Rust Belt. Depends on which map you look at. I see some including Buffalo. Oh. Okay, rust belt proper? Perhaps. Anyways. We here in the middle of Virginia are the only ones not in a region

according to one of these maps. You got the rust belt. Oh no, that says frost belt. I think Buffalo misses the Rust Belt. Officials. Suffice to say that whole region of factory stuff is going to be, they're going to be on tilt

if we get a Cleveland Buffalo AFC championship. So we're going to run through some of the championship teams we'd most like to be on in the spirit of I mean because those would be two amazing teams to be on the Bill's first Super Bowl, the Browns first Super Bowl the thing about the Browns is they had it going on

before the Super Bowl era they won some championships back in like the leather helmet days right and we're going to go into the way back machine talk historical teams that have won chips which ones would we like to have been on there you go there we go he's a pro at setting segments up none taken okay he sets up a good segment then he's good in the

segment how many co-hosts can do that got a haircut also got a haircut how do we feel about the haircut not good i catch myself in the mirror i feel bad about myself i mean what more can you say about the haircut yesterday i wanted this to be a surprise the haircut me to you a surprise gift if you will. And then I saw you pulling out of the neighborhood. Now you live near the front of the neighborhood. Not a lot of privacy. People coming and going.

I live back in the private. It doesn't matter. Yeah. So I tried to cover the back of my head. And you didn't notice. We were on the phone. Did I say that? We were on the phone and you said,

and then I tried to not let you see that I had cut off. So you had the haircut before I saw you the other day. Just, yeah. Can we talk about this? Let's not bury the lead here. I'm playing with like what, slime or whatever my kids are really into right now. You buy literally just like putty and it's like slime. So I'm at the kitchen table.

You know, like in the movies when somebody's stalking a happy family, you're always looking from the outside of the window in and people look really happy, but you can't hear them. We were like in a perfect three minutes. sequence of that and Meg goes, oh my God, Macon's right outside. And I look outside and it's dusk at this point, which is always when stalkers come around. And Macon's standing, staring into my kitchen window with his dog on the leash. I have been there for a while. Yeah. I mean, but there's so many. I mean, you could call. I was like, how are they at several points? I thought you had seen me

and we're looking at me. Here's the thing about it in the light that you decided to, show up in my driveway. It was hard to see out. It's brighter inside. You can see us better and we can see you. But it was just, man, it was very American beauty of you. I haven't seen it. Now, in my defense.

I want to clarify something. I don't remember why the guy was standing outside of somebody's house. Did he fuck somebody in that movie? No, he got no buns. So I'm not insinuating that you're standing outside my house, getting ready to get buns. I'll tell you exactly why I was standing outside your house. Zoe Rabbit and I were on a walk and I was cutting. through your yard

to make the, it was a cut through. You know when you're on a walk and you can make a cut through? Yeah. It was just a cut through. I cut through the front on our way back. It was a pretty substantial cut through. It would be like cutting half of the piece of steak.

It would be like having a piece of steak. If my property was a piece of steak, you would be cutting the property in half with the route you chose. Yeah, it was, I was trespassing. It was an aggressive. have cut through. And then I stopped on the cut through to stare in your window at your family. Did your dog make a poo in my yard? No. No, that would have been great, but no. Zoe knocks it out right away and then we're on our way. Fun dog. Yes. Well,

well trained. Well, fuck off. She is well trained. She's just a little exuberant. She also has a muzzle on. It's not a muzzle. It's a gentle leader. And all of you dog owners out there and dog lovers, you know your gentle leaders. It's not, she has. She has a has full range of motion, bro. She hasn't bitten anything. She's not a muzzle, all right? Why was she breathing hard? It was like she couldn't breathe in that thing.

She can breathe. She went to camp today, by the way. Shout out canine campus. What are they waterboarding her there at home? She's in a fucking muzzle. Bro. They just... Bro.

Zoe likes your kids. I like to look in at your family, look in on your family. just checking on us just checking on you that's good thanks for having the haircut

bad reviews so you didn't get it as a surprise for me I made a deal with my wife so this has nothing to do with me I know it was like you didn't want to admit

that your lovely wife who certainly deserves to have you looking just like she would prefer you to look because I don't sit here looking at you if I think your cool haircut is gone and that's a bummer.

It's not really fucking with my like, you know, it doesn't change the way I feel about you. If I were married to you and I thought it was a dirty haircut, I might have the right to grab a note in the subjection box. I just asked to turn the new year and we've done that. And now I'm back to me, but it was a great 11 months. It really was sort of cool.

Legit? Yeah, it was cool. Like I didn't think, not that I looked cool or am cool, But it was cool to kind of be somebody else for a little bit. You know, I've button downs and khakis for 35 years and got to break out a mustache, long hair. You looked a little like Jacks from, what's the biker?

Sorry, I'm eating Chick-fil-A here. What's the biker movie? No, Biker Show. Sons of Anarchy. Yeah, it was you. Wow. Yeah. I haven't seen it.

Yeah, well, all the chicks liked them. All the biker chicks liked them. You could have had a lot of biker chicks that would have been all over you. Instead, you chose to cut your hair. Now I'm back to looking like freaking Prince William. Yeah, but not the one who's going to become king. No, that one. No, I'm saying like whoever's.

Yeah, Prince William. He's not becoming king. Yeah, it's Prince. No, William is. Harry won't be. You'd be Prince Harry more so. If you were in a medieval setup, you would look like the guy who's perpetually mad in the background with the haircut. That haircut you had a week ago,

did a lot of things for you, dude. Yeah. You would look like the guy in Braveheart that, I think the guy threw him out of the window in the castle. You're not going to believe this. You haven't seen Braheardt. But I haven't seen it. God.

The upstairs castle window, the guy got mad at him and just had had enough of his shit and he threw him out the window. He landed on the concrete down there. All the village people were just aghast. Well, I'm back to looking like a real estate agent. So for all of you homebuyers and sellers out there, let's get back to work. Yep, root beer. Official.

We're going to need to talk about that. Yeah, we can't make it the official soft drink of the Greenlight Pot. Recently made Pearl Islands pulled pork platter, literation there. We just made it the official pulled pork platter of the Greenlight Pod. I have like a four out of ten funny retweet. I'm going to do of that here next time. I don't remember. All right, that's great.

Yeah. So we have Damashek, who's going to talk with us about champions, and we've got a nice mailbag for you. All right, without further ado, let's get to, we say that a lot, without further ado. Yeah, you know what recruits always say these days? What? Hey, love my coaches and teammates. With that being said, I'll be entering the transfer portal.

With that being said. All of them. All of those little. edits, whatever they're called, every single one includes with that being said. All right, it's time for Dave. Damn, Dave, Ashck. You're wearing gold shoes. Elsie Greenwood is the guy who lined up next to Mean Joe Green on those Steelers.

Ria, that's crazy. He lined up. He played the same position and everything as you. He was gold shued and he wore, like, at a time when you weren't allowed, like you had to toe the line with what your teammates wore. But for some reason, he was allowed to wear gold high top. If you see any highlights of the Steelers from the late 70s, you'll always see. So he was the swag dude.

Kind of, yeah. Oh, and he also had like the Kareem goggles before Kareem had him. Yeah, he had a good look to him. Kind of. And yeah, that steel curtain, obviously everybody knows Mean Joe, perhaps the greatest nickname in pro football history. Then you had Elsie Greenwood in the gold high tops. And then you had Fats Holmes, who he is the greatest answer to like, what would have happened if social media.

had been around when. Fats Holmes once he was he once what he was I think he was bipolar and he thought the police helicopter was following him on the highway so he shot a gun through the roof of his car at the police and it's like a scribe because it happened in the 70s it's like oh Fats Holmes he was a character you know yeah you're damn right I feel like there was so much of that the 70s imagine I mean like some of the stuff that like people do now They get taken the task force. It's like, yeah, Fatsholm shot a gun at the police. At a police at a lookout.

Coach, you look tired this morning. Yeah, running back took a hostage last night. I was up to 3 a.m. Like, what the fuck? People talk about Juju. Everybody. Well, what I do hope comes back for real is the best thing would be, like, you think about Juju Smith-Schuster.

It's like, what impact does this have on the Brown? Like, wait, are they going to, wait, that made, that made them try hard? Yes, day. I am on team, they try harder. No, you're not. We're parking our cars in different garages here, as you would say. I can't wait to hear, I can't wait to hear the map on that. No, no, no, it doesn't affect Juju's play.

Juju played well the other night, right? He was great, but the, wait, the Brown's defense, the secondary in particular, tried harder? Yes. Oh, come on. It was a playoff game. Well, they didn't play that well, did they? I mean, they gave up damn near 50 points in a win, right?

Well, would they give up 32 points or something? I went to sleep. What was it? Whatever. It was not enough. I know you don't even want to think about that game. I'm sick. I'm sick of my balls about it.

I was told 20. I was told all bad stuff was going to be left behind in 2020. And so far, if you've watched the news or football games in Pittsburgh, I have been lied to in. trade and I don't care for it. Whatever it was, yeah, I mean, I love, the thing they need to bring back, though, by the way. Randy Featner. No, he is not going to get brought back.

And by the way, because one time we were at a Kenny Chesney concert, we met him and he, he wasn't too kind talking about my man. He was disrespectful and rude. To a, to a coach I like. Is that true? Well, he just kind of. Yes. He was dismissive, wasn't he?

He was a jerk. There was no other. He was there. He was there. There's no other read. He was just a mean, rude, jerky guy. How about that? That's funny.

Everybody always says he's done. Yeah. And how are we saying his name? Fitch. Feetner. Feetner. Feetner. Just one of those fucking names, dude.

Not going to work. Coach out. Heardner. Dude, Randy, Randy Feakner. I guarantee you that that has something to do with Pittsburgh talk, that it got warped into that. Jujoo. He's Claypool, dude. He talks stuff after the game about the brownies.

Dude, I don't know if Raltisberger should come back. Mason, do you see what Mason Rudolph did to the Brines the week before, dude? I don't know. Is that how you talk up there? Dude, that's how we do. That's how we do. Yins Yun should come on out to Picksburg. Is that where the Yinser comes from?

Yeah, that's one of those Jensers. Because people say Yins? Yep. Oh, yeah, that's where Yins comes from, sure. I had no idea. It was one of those things you always see and you smile at. You're like, they're talking about that thing, and I never know what it means. I have to tell you about one thing.

I saw you were Kibbitt's in with Big Cat and Rosillo, and I have to tell you, I want somebody, I was at a dead show forever ago, and somebody, somebody slipped me something. Hot leaf, and that someone, mushrooms. That someone was me who slipped, who did the slip in. But anyway, I was so delighted that during the drums, the iconic moment in dead shows when they would go on 20-minute drum riffs. I decided, you know, you know who would love this is my mother. I got to go call her.

And these are the days of pay phones. No cell phone. And I was talked down off the ledge. Like, don't call your mother like this. I'm like, but she'll, you know, she's a delightful person. And I think she would really love this experience. And I want to turn her on to it. In hindsight, I'm glad I avoided that call.

But still. It could have been Mike Leach is the point. Randy Featner. Yeah. So I should have called him to fire him. Makin doesn't listen to our pod, Dave, and that's okay. Macon's a big boy, got job. Yeah, that's right.

I do not listen to this show. So he doesn't know what you're talking about, but the other day we were talking about how me and Danny used to drunk dial, Mike Leach. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Probably won't do it so much now. I got a drunk dial from you and not you in.

I can't speak to his level of sobriety, but Gus Johnson one night. Yeah, one night I... Really? Yeah, because I knew he was... We used to talk about Gus Johnson. He had Gus Johnson energy. So one day, this is a good one. I'm glad you brought it up because I would never volunteer this because it feels like a name drop.

But like I was in, I was at the, I don't know, it was a rich, four seasons, Marina del Rey. You know the hotel, or not the Beverly Hills, Beverly Wilshire. I was in there for something in L.A. this is a nice hotel too. And you know what I love about it? They have a quiet bar. Like they have like one of those chill bars. So I go down there.

That was in, that was in Pretty Woman, right? Probably the one. Yeah, with the hooker and Richard Gear. Beautiful love story. Julia Roberts. I'm joking.

I was trying to piss you off. It is a beautiful love story. The movie is not about a prostitute. For everyone out there. Yeah. This is, this isn't a high end call girl. This is this is a streetwalker who Richard

Gear picks up. and they fall. Here you guys are policing tears of terminology of sex workers. Who I respect. I respect it. I respect it too. But I'm not going to,

just because it's Julia Roberts, I mean, in the movie, she was a hooker, yes? What? Is that being debated now by Macon? Well,

Macon looks like he doesn't. I think Julia Roberts is America's sweetheart. She's a Hollywood treasure. She is. She is. She was portraying a hooker, though.

No, for sure. I've moved on from that. I'm saying all time, I'm America's sweetheart. She's my number one. Well, okay, but the work she did for those families and Aaron Brockovich was unbelievable. It was very noble of her. Yeah.

Since her being a hooker in the movie is reflective of who Julia Roberts is. I mean, I guess she was a class action lawsuit hero as well. It is a fun conversation. Who's the most like what actor is most like a character that they portraying right now? I would think it's James Woods character and Casino. Oh, you know. James Woods is kind of gone off. the deep.

Bit of a heel turn. Yes. He's become Roy Cohn. He got confused and thinks he actually is Roy Cohn. Or James Voight and Anaconda. How about when he comes out of that snake and winks? That's one of the worst movies of all time. I love that movie so much.

It's too good. Yeah, crosses the line into being marvelous. Exactly. It crosses right over the line. What were we doing? What were we talking about? I'll tell you one other one, Malcovich. Malcovich is considered one of the great.

actors of the last whatever 30, 40 years. And yet he has, he doesn't get taken to task enough for his atrocious, atrocious accent and rounders. Give you, give that to me and he's money. What? This is a hot take. You're doing a cartoon, Russian person? What are you doing, John Malign? I'm, I'm really, how did the English people do good American accents? It is weird how we've vended that out. so many of our best roles for American actors have now been loaned out to people from around the world. For some reason, Australia churns out. Look what they're doing.

Yeah, it's weird. They're giving our jobs to, yeah, it's just globalist society. Yeah, I, for one, I'm going to put my foot down. And I'm not watching another movie. You're the British person. You're done, Idriselva. I also am curious about, like, what the math was when they were shooting Star Wars. Like, all the bad guys were all English people.

all British. That drives me nuts. But all the good guys are American accent, except for Canobi. Kenobi, now, oh, Obi-Wan, Canobi. Now, that is a name I've not heard in a long, long time. But aside from that, everybody's American. I have so with you, that irritates the shit out of me. Shouldn't they have had German accent? Also, societies that they just gave English accents to and made them speak English,

when clearly they weren't English, English, speaking societies. That drives me crazy in movies. I was at the bar with Gus Johnson. That's where I was. Oh, yes, yes, please. So I was at the bar. I'm sitting next to Gus Johnson, who I had never seen in my life. So I didn't recognize him. And I make small talk about something because there's like a game on. And he turns to me and responds in Gus Johnson's voice. And I almost spit my drink out. And I tried to play it cool and act like, didn't want to do that. Are you Gus Johnson? He reckoned, well, he didn't recognize me. It just came down to I play football. He calls football. I sat there with Gus Johnson for probably three hours that night. It's awesome. Great guy. Oh, man. What a thing that would be. Yeah, I would love to have a guy like

Gus Johnson or even one better, John Fasenda, the late great voice of NFL films. Just describe my daily deeds while NFL films music swells underneath. It would really add some gravitas to I want Kevin Harlan. Kevin Harlan is all. You know what? I talk about bragging, not humble bragging, but straight up bragging. You're friends with him? No, I, I, no, I've kibbiched with him a few times, a lovely, lovely man.

But I had him called Damashek throwing a touchdown pass to Damashek, and it's the best. It's one of the great things that I have. You make that like your doorbell when you get something like that. What am I doing? I got to make that my ringtone. You're right. People just open your door. and that's what happens.

Damashak, rolls to his right, throws. Touchdown, Damashick. Oh, it's great. How about the black cat call? That's one of his old time. We got to get him on this show. He's the best, and he's down for all that stuff. Macon's got a connection?

Yeah. Digits might even be in this here device. Okay, you guys triangulate this. We got to get him on the show. All right, so Dave's on to talk about everything awesome that we just talked about for the last 20 minutes, but also to talk about the bills and the Browns,

the ring that would ensue, the experience that would ensue, which franchise would you rather be a part of that first championship team? Like right now, could be the last week in the playoffs that we can have this conversation because they're both alive.

Would you rather be a championship team? team Cleveland Brown or a championship team Buffalo Bill Macon. Buffalo Bill. Probably because of LeBron James. Those folks have had a title. Yeah. Buffalo, what else is doing? I mean, it's the bills.

They went 0 for four in the early 90s. I think you would be immortal in Buffalo, whereas, yeah, a Brown Super Bowl would be terrific, but you're not going to be on, say, a mountain rush. more like you would be if you're Josh Allen bringing back ring number one. The Browns won the Super Bowl on Sunday night. They beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh. Everything's gravy now.

Yeah, it would be a fun celebration and everything. But you're really not going to do much better if you're the Browns than beating Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. I like that you almost kept on your objective hat as a Pittsburgh Steelers fan who just went through what he went through the last week. And that was a very fair and balanced. synopsis there. At the end, there was a tangent, you know what, you guys, you guys are still little brother. You're still the Burr House. I'm just sick about it. I'm sick about it. I'm never getting it back either. Can't unring the bell now. They're now no longer required to sit at the kitty table. Now the Bengals are sitting there all alone. And it hurts me because at least I

have dominance over that entire state was always something. So that's interesting then, like, why don't we ever put the Bengals in this conversation? I feel like when you think of tortured franchises, maybe it was because the Bengals got there too, but I mean the bills, they didn't lose as spectacularly as the bills did in the 90s. But they had their little run there where they had close calls. It's worse, I think.

Like if you've never done anything, then it's embarrassing kind of and you're kind of in on the joke. Are lovable losers who never do anything? What creates jagged self-esteem is like if you're a chiefs fan and you're like, what if you're 50 or 60 or whatever and you're a chiefs fan and it's like, we are a tent pole franchise in pro football. We are responsible for the AFL and we played in the first Super Bowl. And then we won the fourth Super Bowl as the last AFL team.

We are an essential team to the pro football experience. and then we don't go to another Super Bowl for 50 years. That would mess you up in a smaller way. I vaguely recall as a little kid that the Steelers won four Super Bowls. And I knew that and it was like, well, that's my birthright then, correct? And then the 80s happened. And then it created what you're talking to right now, which is like, I don't know what to trust. I don't know how to feel.

Am I supposed to be self-confident? Am I supposed to, you know, be down in the dumps? I don't know. But like that's what happens to, that's Bill's fans right now, you know? I would rather be a bill. I would rather be a bill. Last week I thought there's probably no more valuable championship ring in sports, like hypothetical ring.

But the bills do challenge that. So it's an interesting discussion. Outside of them, like Hallmark kind of franchises, Mariners don't have a ring, obviously. The jazz, I feel like, would be ones that could use one. The Pacers, that's such a, I mean, Hoosiers, the movie, which sucks, but it's all about basketball and high school basketball. basketball there. Wait, are you one of these people who now has gone back and decided you

dislike Hoosiers? I never started liking Hoosiers. Really? It's just, I say it to irritate him, I think, and anyone listening that likes the movie. I like the movie? Yeah. I don't, I'm, I'm non-plussed by the movie. Oh, nice. Yeah. You just look like a guy that likes Hoosiers. I mean, he measures the hoop. I can get down with that. That's about it. It's good. I went to IU. I went to I, you. I went to Indiana University and Gene Hackman is kind of like a precursor character to Bob Knight and all that. Now, I've since gone back and decided I don't like Bob Knight. Right. I have a basketball. It's signed. It used to be one of my prized possessions. I have no idea what to do with it now.

Really? Yeah, I have the same thing. Oh, someday I got to tell you my story about my Bob Knight interview experience. I interviewed him as I was about to graduate from Bloomington, Indiana. That's intimidating. Yeah, we had a, we had a, We had a great run-in together. It was quite a tale. T's, that's for later on, though. No. No, who's yours? I mean, let me tell you.

I mean, this Norman Dale, talk about a team, I wouldn't want to be on that one. I know they won the title, but he's a real jerk the whole way through it. And he's basically chasing around Jimmy Chitwood's Guardian, and they end up making time. And Barbara Hershey's hard up, and she's digging up five. on him. The movie sucks. Everything that's happening in the movie on the surface looks awesome, but it also kind of sucks. What's good about the movie, I will say, is that as opposed to so many sports movies, which you would think would just be rudimentary stuff, is like, hey, if this is a basketball movie, get cast some people who look like they know how to play basketball.

Most movies don't even bother to do that. Right, right, right. You know, go watch Teen Wolf and you'll see what I'm talking about. The, but Hoosiers, not only do the, those kids look like they know how to play basketball. They look like they know how to play basketball in 1952. They all do like the two-handed shots and they dribble like Bob Coosie with the ball in front of them. That was well done. No, they were really, it was a, it was truly a period piece. I said bangles, chargers don't have one. You're hockey guy, Winnipeg Jets. They don't have one. That would, they'd light, they'd light that place on fire, right? If the standard is nobody's ever won a franchise that's never won one. But the one that's weird

is, you know, it's the same thing is kind of like, man, the Knickerbockers are in New York City, and that's the capital of basketball and all of that. It is, it does stink that the Knicks aren't good, and basketball is better when it is. The Maple Leafs are in the center. That Toronto is essentially the nerve

center for the NHL. Absolutely. And they stink and they watch the, it's one thing to watch the Blue Blanche Rouge dominate them like a big brother. But then, you know, you have all these other to Calgary's won cups. Edmonton had a dynasty. In our lifetime, we haven't seen the Leafs do anything.

And that place is waiting to explode. Yeah. No, I mean, that'd be a good one. That'd be like the Yankees never having won a thing. Precisely. I mean, it's exactly what it is. I, uh, if they could get one, that, that would just, I mean, it would be nuts, nuts, right? I mean, that parade, if we get back to parades.

By the way, are parades, are parades done for? Did you see Tuscaloosa? I'm talking about parades that are, that are lawful. Yeah, I don't think you should call that other thing a parade exactly. Yeah, that thing was a germ orgy. It was like Debbie does Dallas for novel coronavirus. Did the Chiefs do one?

The Chiefs didn't do one 12 months ago, right? I think that, yeah, they did because they were the last team that had a parade. That's why when we were talking about the whole point of this segment, as I explained earlier, was, you know, it's, it's what team would you want to be on? What championship team would you want to be on? And the criteria is whatever you want it to be, but like the run, the history, the city you want it in, the people, the coach, you know, whoever.

Like the Raptors, you got to figure, they should at least be in the discussion because although their journey there was borderline asterixie with the injuries, You're one of the last biggest parades. I mean, that Toronto party had to be nuts. So I think that they should be in the conversation. That's a good one.

I mean, but the last decade has really been all about the sports gods writing those longstanding wrongs for a lot of long-suffering fan bases. The Cubs, I mean, that would have been the greatest. I lived on the north side. I lived a block north and a block east of Wrigley. How mad were you when you woke up somewhere else the next morning? That didn't happen while you lived in Riggily. though. Man, I was there. I left there in 98 in the, right after the, um, the Sosa 66 home run

season and they played the Braves in the playoff. Um, but they had the one game playoff before that. I mean, it was, it was just, uh, as much fun as it could be. You know, when the whole, it's a funny thing. Like, you, you think it would be great to, it was, we're just talking about this, this morning with Jeff Schwartz. Um, and he brought up like, I'd want to be a champ in New York city more than anywhere else because then you're a god in new york city forever it's like not really i mean i was so much going on there well i went to the super bowl with the you know with the seahawks and broncos and i mean all week you would never have even had an idea that there was a super bowl going on you get consumed by the city whereas just i'm not even winning it in that town and being in a part of it

but just indianapolis that super bowl week the entire thing revolved around it and i think there's something in between like i don't know if i'd want to live in green Bay, Wisconsin. You know, like Pittsburgh would be a great, I mean, obviously, is a great place. That's the right size place that's like fit for a parade. And, yeah, I'm sure you guys do parades well. You got a lot of practice. Oh, yeah.

Streets, that type of thing. No, you're not into it. Parades suck. Are you fucking kidding me? I mean, I know you had a great experience and iconic experience. But for anybody else outside the people riding on the floats, parades suck. Yes. Oh, no doubt about it.

Yeah. Unless you're like a avid fan of a team. like if you're if you've been waiting to party for a very long time I think it would make a lot of sense but you know like if I'm a moderately devoted fan of a team yeah it's gonna fuck traffic up it's noisy there's a lot of drunk people I woke up the night

before the parade in Philly at four in the morning thinking I overslept because it was so loud out in just the city people were chanting and yeah it's it's a lot like Thanksgiving Day parade here comes Macy's I did go. I made the mistake. I did go to one parade when the Penguins first won the Stanley Cup. I went to that. And I'm with you, Makin.

I'm sure it's great fun if you're in one of the cars sitting up on the back waving to people like a senatorial candidate. But yeah, go to the airport when they fly in and the heroes come in under the cloak of night and they hold up the trophy. That's the fun atmosphere. That's the cool one. That's the real parade. What about, I was going to say, if the Packers win, we've tried this takeout here, but I don't know what you think. Packers win this this year.

I don't know if I told you this. Packers win this year. They should do the parade just in Green Bay. Don't take it to Milwaukee. Don't do anything else. And I don't know if they did that in the past, but I don't care how tight the streets are. Just get two, three buses and make dudes in lawn chairs superstars. Like literally drunk people in their own front yards, freezing cold, shirts off.

They deserve it. Yes. Listen, I'm not going to argue with you about that. Because you can't. COVID, you can't do some huge parade right now. No. By the way, now you make me think of maybe the Packers don't have to go to Milwaukee, but the Brewers or the Bucks. You know, they all get it up there with their uniforms and everything. The baseball team is named after beer, and we don't celebrate that nearly enough. And the Bucks, their color scheme suits that atmosphere and everything.

That's a big one for me. like the Cleveland Browns, by the way, as a uniform versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. If you put that game, if that were two like Florida teams, you'd be like, what in hell? How'd you come up with those horrible colors? But in the Rust Belt, it defines the region. I think that would be great. Yeah, I'm with you for that one. You know, speaking of Philly, I don't know if I have asked you this before.

Do you think I want an engage, if I have known. no rooting interest, objectively. I always kind of think, like, well, we're the better, like we're talking about with the bills. I'd like to see the bills fans get a Super Bowl ring. And if they're playing like the Rams, then I certainly would take the bills because I know which fan base cares more. It seems to me that Philadelphia is too tough a sports town, that they scare people out of town. Like Carson Wentz, I could make a case that Carson Wentz would be a little better off right now if he were in almost any town

other than Philly or New York. If you put, or maybe that would be rough on him. Absolutely. You might not even notice some towns. There are people like this thing of like the local media and the fan base like, hey, we're tough. It ain't for everybody. We'll chase you out of town if you're not good.

Like, are you really helping then? Is that a good thing to be? Like what? Yeah. I, uh, if he was in Jacksonville, you might not really notice. Like, James Winston for years was like, a fringe thing that people were talking about

like every first take it was Carson this year. I mean like the amount of turnovers that damn Carson had this year you'd do that any year with James and it was right. You know it just depends on your market. Tampa's not as big a market you know if he was in Jacksonville obviously the same and I think

you know Indianapolis some market like that he's better often as well. I don't know man you know the the flip side of that coin is what makes that successful run so fun because it is like high stakes. And if you're like me, you got out before it got bad.

So you only saw the good. You know, like I've never been skewered after a really bad loss there. I've never been in a locker room where, I mean, 2018 was bad for a while. But I never. I mean, look, if you, if you crawl through a river, a shit and come through clean on the other side, then yes, then you're a god for all of time in Philly. I'm sure that's extra satisfying. But I just mean that idea of like chasing guys out of town and everything and being proud.

It's like a pride thing. Yeah, I don't see the point of being. You're not doing a good job for your team. I don't see the pride and like being like, we will run you down on message boards. We will make subreddit threads and talk about your family. It's not for everybody. Yeah.

And I'm not just talking about Philly here. I mean, like, I mean, just any big city that's, you know, got that kind of vibe of it'll eat you up and spit you out. You're like, okay. Thank you. Thank you. I was hoping for a welcome. What do you got, Make? You want to start us off?

Sure. He said, sure. I'd like to be a member of the 1992 United States Men's Olympic Basketball team. That's a good one. It's a great one, in fact. Also known as the Dream Team featuring Christian Leitner. Closest result in eight Olympic Games

was the gold medal game a 32-point win over? Croatia. Croatia. Nicely gone. Really? Croatia was the closest one in their tie-dyes. Barkley led the team in scoring by more than three points. Going to eat a waffle fry now if that's okay.

Followed by Jordan, Malone, Chris Mullen, and Clyde the Glyde, friend of the program. Magic and Larry on that club. I mean, if you're going to be called, if you're going to be a member of a team, might as well be the one immortalize as the dream team. hit us at the right time as kids marketable group I think that was exactly when we started to pay attention speaking of your fast food I think every cup from McDonald's

had the dream team wrapped around it for sure if you will yeah I'll go dream team with my de facto number one overall if I could say 20 this isn't 2020 hindsight I said it before that in fact I remember watching the 88

Olympics and when they when John Thompson was the coach and they lost that one and that was the first one and the sky was falling and that's when the wheel started going like we should send we should show everybody what we can do if we send our actual best players to do it. Yeah, I mean it would just be, it would, I never, I guess maybe I undervalued it as like an adult. I've never thought of the dream team as like, wow, that's amazing what they did. It was just amazing who they were. I mean, like USA winning in basketball will never amaze me.

no but it was but at the time it was like hey our college kids are good enough we'll go we'll we'll send them and they'll uh they'll whip up on the rest of the world and then they lost that one it was like all right now we got to show the world and that that was fine to do it and it was cool but that should have been it it should have been like that's the one we're just we'll just show you what we can do i just kept because i because you knew it was eventually going to catch up and they caught up with them more quickly than i thought it would but i thought you keep running the NBA guys out there you're they're going to lose everybody lose loses it. You do not

for a win forever. Should have just sent the message. And then when Brazil wins the gold medal in whatever, 2004, whenever they win it, you just go like, just remember what we did to you. Don't make us do it again. Who you got next? Okay.

Let me go off the board here. Won't be selected. The 1918. Off the board. It's your board. The 1918 Boston Red Sox. Now, they didn't have the benefit of of future site.

They didn't know that they would be the ones referred to for nearly a century. Yes. They have the bonus of two months later. World War I is over. How wonderful is that? Oh my God, they had the best off season ever. We win a ring.

The World War has ended. Babe Ruth is still on the squad. I mean, I, uh... Damn, that's a good pull there. It doesn't get much better than like winning a ship. and then like making out with people in the streets. Right. Because that's what everybody did when the war ended.

Yeah. Yeah. You ever see that picture? Yeah. That was going on everywhere. I've seen that one. I could roll through a ton of them, but I don't want to steal your guys. In fact, I mean, I think Dave probably has something coming from the year 1976, a team I'm familiar with as well.

I'll give you two. I'll give you two here. Okay. I'll give you two. Go two at a time. Okay. Well, the 73 Knicks should be considered, right? Willis Reed, Phil Jackson, Bill Brown.

Bradley, Walt, I mean, Studio 54, if you're into that, which I'm not. But I can imagine you don't even need to be into that to enjoy Studio 54. And it's New York City and they beat the Lakers, man. That was like a big deal. But I'll tell you who's actually on my list. Their honorable mention, the 68 Jets. You know why? Why?

Because they weren't that good. And Joe Namath wasn't that good. And they just fucking, they hit it out of the park. The whole AFL thing, you're partying in Miami with Broadway Joe, and then you go back to New York City. So the plane leaves Miami and you're hung over and you go back to New York City. You throw a fucking fur coat on and then you go to Studio 54. And everybody knows cold weather fur coat Studio 54 is like Tiger Woods red polo

or whatever he's got on when he's really rolling. you want to go to the cold, cold weather studio 54 parties. I, listen, I think you nailed that. That was near the top of my list too. Yeah, the Super Bowl three jets. Listen, just riding Namis Cotails. I mean, the greatest NFL films clip of all times is the one where he's shooting pool at the height of his powers.

And they're talking to, and he's like, I don't know why everybody's making the big, and by the way, he's from Beaver County, as is my mother, which a lot of my pals have had a lot of fun with. that my mother's from Beaver County. But anyway, Namath with that funny... How old are we now?

Well, listen, that's... Yeah, I know. These, uh, he's from Beaver County, so he has the Pittsburgh accent, but then he moves to Tuscaloosa. So he has this super warped. Talk about funny accents. Ronnie Cycly,

Ronnie Cycly, who was a center for Syracuse. Yeah, I remember him. And then he was Greek. And so he had a thick Greek accent, but then he lived in, New York for too long. So then he had a Greek New York accent. But Namath has this funny

Pittsburgh Tuscaloosa accent that's the best. And he's not a thrower. He's a passer. And he's like, I don't want to have a drink with a young lady. I don't know why that's become an evil in me. I don't want to be why that's become an evil in me.

I don't know. And then he shoots the shot. He goes, look at that shot. Yeah, he's the best. Name is the coolest of one. I'll tell you what. That, like, for you to have those two accents and one that's a hybrid that's like an exotic accent that makes you make it. No I mean like when women used to meet him they were like he's kind of cute

did you hear his accent too? I think he's exotic. I mean it's a different yeah that well I've heard what his pickup lines were and they were straight to the point yeah pretty much and why why would he I'm sure he never hustled a day in his life but what a what a fella that would have been a good that would have been a good squad to party on I think all of us were privy to one of his pickup lines.

That's what I'm saying. I want to kill you. Basically it. I think it was a little bluer than that at the height of his powers. Super Bowl 3, by the way, I wrote down for the three teams that I would want to be on in Super Bowl history. The halftime show at Super Bowl 3 was the Florida A&M band. Ooh. The rattlers.

That would be, I don't know if that would be as good or better than Beyonce. That would be much better than the halftime shows we get these days. I'm pro-band. He's very pro-band. Pro-band. But J-T in Minneapolis. Justin Timberlake, yeah. And in Houston, it was Gaga who folks thought jumped in from the top of the stadium.

When you get home from the Super Bowl, you realize all the viral shit that happened during the game. You like turn your phone on, you find out things. Like if I played in that Super Bowl with the Janet Jackson thing, I wouldn't have known about that until like midnight. I got a lot of texts like, hey, Lady Gaga just jumped from the sky. she just skydived into the same. It was like, nah, she dropped like 10 feet from a wire.

You saw it in real time. I was at the, in the early days of that, I went to the, the 01 AFC title game when Drew Bledsoe came in for Brady and upset the Steelers. Another upsetting painful loss there.

But it was the early days of the network. So like, let's put a pop act at halftime. And it was Cheryl Crow. And the Steelers were getting upset 14 to 3. And the people were upset as well. And Cheryl, I just remember her coming to the microphone and going like, how you doing Pittsburgh?

And people, it's like, boom. It was, it was, it was just horrific. I saw Cheryl Crow in a concert inadvertently. Inadvertently. Yeah, inadvertent Cheryl Crow concert. I was going to Willie Nelson concert and she was playing right next to. Do you call Mike Leach? No, I was thinking about calling Mike Leach.

Let me go, let me go UNLV, 19. Nice. Take that Dukeies. Last non-major like seven conference champion, right? Larry Johnson, Greg Anthony, Stacey Ogman. Vegas strip,

like in college, wise guys like hanging around your parties and shit, like these guys went pro and thought the parties sucked. That's how cool it was to be pre-camera phone. Like,

their life was blue chips, dude. I mean, in Las Vegas. And it's 90. It's not 20, it's not 20, 21. Yes, dude. Vegas has come a long way. So it still had a little bit of a small town charm like cool,

Sinatra, I bet there were like saloons, saloons and stuff is how I'm picturing. And then mobsters. Just saloons and mobsters. And that was your, that was like, if you went to another campus, you were probably like, what the hell is this? What a cool run for them. And they each,

and they each probably had about a half million dollars in their, pocket at any given time. What a cool run. Swingers. Swingers was 96, just for reference. Yeah, that feels right. 85 bears for me.

Yep. They're the epitome of they're actually the only real example. If you name a team and a year year team, it's them. 27 Yankees. 27 Yankees.

People don't know it as well as 85 bears. Now part of that is a team. times passed. Okay. That's a good list. That's a funny list. If I say a year, can you associate the team with that? That's up there.

27 Yankees. I would say 92 dream team. Everybody gets that one. There's a Bulls team, whichever one you think is the most. 69 Mets, but you're right. That's in the top three or four for sure. There's only a couple of them. And they're gods.

Like, honestly, when we won in Philly, it was like, all I could think about was, was them, like pictures of those guys coming back at halftime. Like, people were thinking, you know, you're competing for a Super Bowl and you're thinking about the party or whatever. I'm thinking about the halftime in 2050. And like my ass is just like, I don't know, 2050, maybe I'm not going to be that old. But I'm so in 2050, I'm only going to be 65 or whatever the fuck I'm going to be. Lord willing.

Lord willing, which there's a mailbag question about that. I'm going to be just on a walker on my way out to midfield. It's probably not going to be that dramatic, but I used to always watch those things like when dudes came back and I thought that was really special. And that's what the bears embody. Like they're just immortalized, man. And like Mongo, bro, we used to watch in New England before that run,

Matt Patricia used to put on after long days of training camp. Everybody just wants to go to the fuck home. 10 o'clock at night. he would turn on this like E-60 or something on the bears, the 85 bears and we'd have to watch it. And at first guys were like, man, fuck this dude. Like I just wanna go to sleep. I wanna pack a dip.

Just wanna like get out of here. And by like the fourth day, we were just clamoring to see the end of it. Even though you know how it ends, all those personalities, man. It was like a movie bro. And so I would just put the 85 bears probably near the top.

I would probably go, they're probably my top three. Somebody else? Sounds like fun. That's a sports, obviously diehard sports town and the bears are king, even with Michael Jordan.

The bears are all in the Cubs and whatever else. Always the most important thing is, is the bears in that town. I lived there for a while, like I say. And that's right. I do think that they got a little bit lucky that they didn't catch Marino again.

Marino with them in the Orange Bowl. They catch them on the fast track of New Orleans in the Superdome six weeks later. I think the same thing happens. I think the dolphins could have vanquished that team, but they got upset by the Patriots. Also, we need an update. This, I want one thing.

We need the 85 bears are one of those defenses. Yeah. That happens like about once a generation, that they're just this knuckle, that they're this knuckle ball team that just, they ride the defense through the playoffs and, and they steal a Super Bowl. It's like the 85 bears, the 2,000 Ravens.

The Jags almost did it. in your year, 2017. I do have this question for you, that. Is the Rams defense sufficiently good that it could pull that off? Because that would, that's the only thing that could really, really root. There's two good offensive teams this year. Right. They can't do.

I hope not. If, could they beat Green Bay? Yeah. In, in a vacuum. Could they beat Ken City one game? Like, magic happens. Jared's like hits on a couple shots. You know, like the 50-50 boy through the cup.

the other day. You get a defensive touchdown. Yeah, that could happen. But to do it two, three times now, it's going to be tough. And I hate that because they have a historically good defense. They really do. Here's one. Let me give you a few that I definitely

wouldn't want to be a part of. We mentioned the Bulls. I wouldn't want to be you saw the documentary. I wouldn't want it to be on the Jordan Bull. That seems no no fun. Like Scotty Burrell. You bitch. Oh, this is great. What's it going to be like being on on the Chicago Bulls.

You just get called a bitch every day. I'm one of the 85 best human beings at something, and I'm getting put down every day by this jerk. I have no interest in that. Same goes. The 2012 Ravens, I talked to guys as they came out of that Super Bowl, not that night,

but like in the ensuing months. And I would say to them, like, no jive. Is it a little annoying, always answering questions about how special it is for Ray Lewis? Like, it's like, there were other guys on the team, man. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It would suck to always, like, it's the same thing kind of like on being on Jordan's team. Like, oh, well, so he gets all the credit. I'm just riding the coattails. And the Ray Lewis one was more annoying. If you're anybody else on that team, like, hey, the rest of the lot of us are better than Ray at this point. I mean, if you're at Reed, you know, at that point, what year did Ed hang it up? Might have been even that. Oh, no, he went, you know, talk about those lists of guys.

that look weird in jerseys and you forget that they were even on that team he was on the texans after that i for i completely forget about that but yeah it wasn't too much that's that's the franko harris of the seahawks i would not want to be on the um also on the anaheim ducks when they won the stanley cup they literally uh why there's a second hockey team in southern california is inexplicable and they and it was proven they win the stanley cup and then unlike any other parade in history they bribe people to show up there. They're like free hot dogs and the governor Schwarzenegger is going to show up. And they're like, fine, we'll show up.

And then they have to run the parade down Disneyland, Disneyland, for real, like Disneyland Main Street. It's like, well, no one else is going to show up. It's going to be embarrassing when they're like three dozen people here. Yeah, it's just like it was the worst. You look at your friends winning in some cold city that cares about hockey. And it's probably just like, I, I, um, what are it? a team that 95 Nebraska was mentioned. John mentioned 95 Nebraska. He's like, you'd be a god

in Nebraska. I was like, but you'd be a god in Nebraska. You know, like, that's the one thing is like, of all the places to be a god, where is that on the totem pole? I like the idea of, I go one further with that kind of stuff. If I were 17 years old and I was the best running back in the country and I could go anywhere I wanted, I wouldn't go to U.S. see to be another in the long line. Another great tailback. A tailback you. Fah, what do I want to be added to that list for? I'm going somewhere that has no history so that I go down so that as soon as I retire to be compared to. Right. I want a statue of me. I don't want to just be like, oh, then was wait. Oh yeah, Damashek, he came after Marcus Allen and then before Reggie Bush.

Like, I don't remember. Like, I don't want to be a part of that. I want to be the only one. Yeah, exactly. Nebraska. That's a good call. Nebraska for me. on the list doesn't make it. Another one that doesn't make it along these lines, 2007 New York Giants only because whenever you bring it up, somebody's going to say, oh, David Tyree, the helmet catch.

You're on that team, huh? Yep, yep, yeah. That's the team. And I know they stop the Patriots from going undefeated. So you might argue a great team to be on, but helmet catch I would get sick of. Okay, let me zag here.

Okay. I'm a D. Lyman. Pretty good year for those guys. Like when you think about whenever somebody wants to beat a quarterback rushing for, the thing in the brain that goes straight in the microphone is, you know, like the Giants that year when they got after Brady, that's the formula.

But wouldn't you be more pissed off to hear helmet catch for the rest of your life? No, I would be so like, it's just everything, actually that would be, I'm surprised I don't have them on my list. And I know it's painful for Eagles fans and I didn't put our run. If I wasn't on the team, I'd put our run on the list.

I wasn't on the team and it's not on my left. I mean, not even close. That's okay. I'm just telling you, me personally, I was there, dude, and it was cool. 87 Lakers should be fringy at the very least. I just, because I know this, they had a hot tub, if you know what I mean? Like at the facility, they had a hot tub in the arena. They had a hot tub in the back.

The owner would join them in it. That's what you need to know how lawless it was. Yeah, they had a hot tub. Did they have a hot tub? They had a hot tub. It was 103 degrees, I think, not too hot, not too cold. A lot like your hot tub. Yeah, I like to go 102 if you want to come.

The Lakers liked it 103 and 87. And you have to consider, I will, but you know, I said let's get a hot tub Saturday. You never hit me up. Well, you disrespected my hot tub on Twitter.com. I saw that. The weak-ass hot tub. No, no, no, no, no, no. there's some green stuff growing around it,

but the hot tub itself, the bones, it's got good bones. Yeah, it's solid. Your hot tub's got good bones. Yeah, great setting. All right, so here's the deal. They had a hot tub that had no moss on it. It's not just that there's a hot tub and all those things are going on, but you're also teammates with a guy named A.C. Green, who probably

didn't like that hot tub alone. And I would have just wanted to be on that team to every, after the game, every night, be like, AC, you're getting in the hot tub? AC, you good? Hey, like watch A.C. Green have to walk by the hot tub to get into the locker room. Just the disgust on his face. Me and Kurt Rambus would be tight.

I know me and Kurt Rambus would be tight. Pat Riley's cool. Yeah, that keeps pretty awesome. Fringe benefits would be, I mean, that has to be number one. I don't care what college town where rich alumni are slipping your cash and all the co-eds. Lakers in the 80s. And by the way, you could bet, like, it wouldn't just end it like, Jack Nicholson. I bet you he had to be like, I'm having a party. Come by, Magic.

That had to be going on. Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure. People were bringing little canvas tote bags or like little overnight bags into the forum. Like, they were like Jack Nicholson was like, he would walk in with a fucking bag and they'd be like, what's in the bag? You spend the night? No, I'm getting in the hot tub with the guys. nicknames also matter.

It's hard to beat the Showtime Lakers. Yeah, no, that's pretty cool. We've talked about the dream team. Yeah. 27 Yankees had Murderers Row. Underdogs. Yeah. Okay.

A 1980 U.S. hockey team, they get miracle on ice. That's number one. Take it away with those guys, Dave. Well, if you're 19 or 20 or whatever, and you win the gold medal, it's the greatest upset 40 years, 40 plus years later, it is the greatest. upset in North American sports history, maybe in sports history. So you have that, like, just to take you through to imbue you with a sense of self-confidence. Yeah, right.

It's very much like that. It's very much like for the people of Cleveland. So happy for them. Six-point favorites. Congratulations, Baker. You did it. Now, if I may get back to my- Talk to your hockey.

Talk about your hockey team, Dave. I don't want to. I don't know if I want to anymore. I've never heard Dave this some dude. Did Feigener know that they didn't have any corners? There were no cornerbacks for the Browns last week. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You should be playing Benny Snell over James Connor, FYI. But nah, all you. Marquis Pouncey snapped the ball. Not, I mean, obviously. He Max Garcia did it. If he, it was way worse than Max Garcia. Pete Manning put his hand on it. Markis Pouncey snapped the ball so high it would have gone over the actual big

bad. Like it was, it was, that was the start to the game. Then our Hall of Fame QB throws two of the worst picks he's thrown in his entire career. And then it got bad. I want to hang out with Jim Craig who shut down the Russians in the semi-final. He had Jim Craig between the pipe stood on his head. Then he went out on a twister. Then he developed a serious alcohol problem and had to go to rehab for a long stretch. But so what? Let me give you a what if. Okay. That is close to home for you that you may not like. The 2017 Minnesota Vikings. If the Vikings, if you jerks wouldn't have dismissed them from the title game,

they would have returned home. I think that swing is so crazy. And people always say Minnesota nice and all that. The people there, like, I don't even know. I can't imagine the equivalent for Steelers fans. If it's like, we're in the title game. And then the Super Bowl is in Heinz Field next week. and then we lose and then that team comes into Heinz field to play the Super Bowl.

I don't know what. Oh, that would be so sick. I don't know. That was really tough. That was the Vikings would have done it. That was a twisting of the knife. That was a twisting of the knife situation. And the Eagles fans are such jerks.

They couldn't have cared less. That's just not true. Oh, you guys were all doing the skull thing to them and everything. That's a fun thing. They were. It's a fun thing. Listen, I think taunting after the game. By the way, I'm all for anything.

The Vikings fans who seem like fine people, okay, I'm not somebody who gets real worked up or hates fan bases. Makin will tell you, I have a hard time hating our college rivals fan base. The Vikings people who seem like five people, they took this shit from Iceland. How's that? So like when the Eagles fans did it, we're just passing it on. And then so on and so forth. Somebody else is going to get it next. That's just part of it.

Paying it forward. We're paying it forward. I misunderstood. Yeah, that's all they were doing. They were paying it forward. But if they would have won that Super Bowl in their home joint, after they get the Stavon Diggs catching, they go and play the Eagles,

and if they beat the Eagles and they come back home, and they beat Brady in the Super Bowl, that would have just been, you know, that might have been the most satisfied, especially for a team that themselves has lost for Super Bowls, like the Bills fans. That what a punctuation out. They never got to Valhalla.

I want to do. There you go again with that. I want to do the year test. I say a year. You guys see if anything comes to mind. What? The 86. Mets.

Mets. Oh, yeah. Of course. That's a good one. I mean, on the brink, Mookie Wilson. And that's a fun team, too. Doc Gooden, Gerell Strawberry, Lenny Dykstra. That's one.

Energetic team. Yeah? That team, it was like they never slept in pursuit of greatness. Never slept. Or vagina. Either one. Yeah. That's right.

But that's right. The hard party teams that I wrote down, you got the Mets of 86, Snake Stabler and company, mid-70s Raiders. By the way, I don't like the Raiders because they were the Steelers' rivalry in a certain stretch there. But read the book on Snake Stabler. I mean, it's just, it's crazy how much fun that. That has to be maybe in the guy for most fun bunch to be around.

They need to make a movie about him. It's really the best. It's really crazy. And then the early 90s Cowboys. The early 90s Cowboys were maybe too much fun. I don't even know if I could keep up with the tails you hear. Same thing with the Mets. They lived hard.

But I love their attitude that we would come into town. We'd beat you. And then after the game, we would steal your ladies. That was their agenda. And I loved it. And they accomplished it all. And they had a great home field for that, didn't they? The Cowboys?

We're talking about the Cowboys, yeah? Well, we're talking about 86 Mets. Oh, I was so. Okay, I thought the Cowboys were coming in town to steal your ladies. They probably were doing that too. They probably had their White House, and then they played on the road. You're a real estate agent. I am.

Sell me the White House. Licensed. Are you talking about Cochayana? No, the White House that the Dallas Cowboys used to go to do that and other things. Did you know about the White House? Sure. Yeah. It's written about. Yeah.

You don't know about the White House. It's not a bad thing. Um, you're so pure. That's why. They did cocaine and had intercourse at this house. Like that was, that was the thing. Pure as you say, I would say pure is a common adjective preceding cocaine. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is. Making watch Miami Vice. Yeah. Lick your finger and shit. Like taste it, put it in your gums. Uncut. I see the movies. I don't know anything about cocaine, bro. Like I would be the worst cop on a cocaine raid. I think we could all, but we all think

we would be able to divine what pure cocaine and not because we've watched movies and we could also figure out whether or not a bill is counterfeit. You know, like, because we've seen enough movies with it. You just hold it up to the light and with the cocaine, you just put it on your finger and then put it on your gums and if it like tingles or something,

you go, that's some good shit, man. And then, and he right, and then if you take an eraser to a bill, like somehow like if you do that, that tells you whether or not it's counterfeit. Yeah, we've learned a lot of things from TV and movies. I'm sorry, Macon. Go back to the Mets of 86.

Metz of 86, I, well, they get the boost. They get the Buckner boost. I mean, they were on the brink. Then they win game six and win it all. So, yeah, I think they make the list. I was not familiar with this White House quite, quite ugly. Yeah. Do you know what they did in it?

Well, yeah, drugs and stuff. Yeah, but they bought it as like a unit or the Cowboys. Was it the Cowboys, the actual team bought it? Their other homes so close by, the neighbors, there must be no HOA. You know what it was with the White House? It was kind of in a twisted way like your parents telling you, are you like drinking? Drink this whole bottle.

My parents never did that to me. You like smoking cigarettes? Smoke this whole pack. You guys like cocaine and hookers? here's a house. Yeah, or it's like the teenagers. Like, you can drink here, but we need your keys. You're not leaving.

Yeah. It's a White House. It's literally constructed from cocaine. It goes away as you enjoy it. Coach, I hate to tell you, but there's no more drywall. Whoa, look at that picture window. Look at the picture window Nate Newton put into the joint. Beautiful.

I stayed up late. It was a long weekend, but mission accomplished, fellas. By the way, Nate Newton, I love that Bammore. Bam Morris, the Steelers running back. He gets arrested. It's pulled over, and he has six pounds of weed in his car when he gets pulled over. And it's like, six pounds, sweet Jesus. And then a year or three later, Nate Newton gets arrested with 600 pounds in his car.

Yeah. Maybe it was 60 pounds. Either way, that's a lot of weed. That's a lot of bud, man. That's a lot of bud. I am just not the type that could live on the edge like that. And I pass no judgment on people selling marijuana, cannabis. But I could not live on the edge like that considering federal laws and such.

Have you ever shot at a police helicopter? No, not like your boy on the Steelers with the chucks. 213 pounds for Nate Newton. All right. 83 NC State has to be mentioned. 16 Cubs have to be mentioned. five million people at that parade you would have hated that team you got a real parade envy thing going on

no I've had plenty of parades I mean they make one bobblehead of you had a parade and you're all obsessed with parades parade is okay you remember how you used to like the best party in college and you look forward to it once a year like whatever the best party was you dreamed about it

you were afraid to get a sinus infection before it you slept like 10 hours the night before it or you planned to and then your buddies came over and you got drunk and you slept six hours. The Whartland Street block party. Yeah or Fox Fields. Whoa, whoa, you just put an ass on Foxfield? I couldn't remember which one it was. I really don't give a fuck to be honest. Or yeah, the Wortland block party or whatever dude. He's offended. I mean, that's really bad. There's a horse race here that Lord knows I have put in a ton of hours and miles at. I've run the race every year. I mean, I I was running the race.

We've run the race. We used to go in my conversion van. It's called Dennis the Menace. I knew you already were someone who lived, not merely survived, but I didn't know you had a conversion van. I had a conversion van. It is currently in the woods at my farm with foliage growing out of it. Dennis the Menace has seen better days.

1927 Yankees make the list for me. They actually make the list. Murderers Row 19 games ahead of the next best team. They were great. Babe Ruth, here's the problem with that. You know, you talk about the parties and if you're a single guy at that point. And we've talked about this before because we were talking about period pieces. You like, you like Downton Abbey.

Yeah, you don't have to say it like that. I like Downton Abbey. You like Downton Abbey? Yeah, I would like- You like Downton Abbey. Nobody in Pittsburgh has ever watched that show. Not a soul who... I've never watched the show.

The question was, one day, was, hey, if you could live during any period piece show, what would it be? He was like, I would love to live in Downton Abbey. I was like, 1920s, everybody smelled. Pre-World War II, everybody smelled, man. And so, yeah, you were the kings in New York, but you were hooking up with a bunch of smelly chicks. No, I agree.

You know what? The chicks had that, they have the, the, the sauce and the glass carafe, and then they spritz with a tube. Yeah, what all that looks like to me is like, uh, the stuff you spray. in the bathroom after you make a bomb. Yeah, that's what it is.

I mean, like, so even when you walk into a bathroom, if it smells like potpourri, you know it's not, it's just masking something. That's kind of the state you're in constantly. Now, this is something we park our cars in the same garage about. I agree completely about this. People ignore that, I mean, how spoiled we are with our deodorants and perfumes and such.

I mean, and it was not to Long's point. I mean, if you lived in, the 1500s. Forget about anything else. Subsistence, farming and hunting, just so that you could see another day. The stench alone would make me want to check out on that. Yeah, I think about the same sort of thing. What air would I, oh, I'd love to be one of Gatsby's friends and hanging out at his house and everything like that. But Chris Long is right. And also, by the way, too, the other thing, I don't know how you make it in a world that doesn't include TV. I, I, it's really, I think it might not be bad.

Oh, it would be great. I think it might not be bad. I think a world without phones would be wonderful and I'm on my phone nonstop. Somebody said Twitter stock was down this week. I was like, you know what? I know it's for, you know, and it's a reaction to a good thing, but I don't care if it keeps going down. Fucking get rid of it. I'd love to not be on Twitter anymore.

It would be great. I really do agree with you. TV is a bridge too far. I mean, TV is, uh, populates. TV's taught me more than any human being ever. Exactly. You wouldn't be, you wouldn't have all those thoughts in your head,

all the brilliance that allows you to make content. If you didn't have a TV, who would Dave Damashek be without a TV? He'd be, uh, he'd be a farmer and he would like his life even more. A yinzer farmer. I'd be reading books and stuff. Who would want that?

With candles and shit, with like a, with like a feather pen, writing letters and shit, boarding a, schooner that's going to take six months to get somewhere. Oh my gosh. Picking up the waffes of my wife's stench from the other room. No, thank you. You wouldn't know, but you wouldn't know about the stint. You would think it was normal. Yeah, you got a point there. You would have the same stanch.

How about this is a little bit not team, but I would like to be a cornerman for Ali. If I could be a cornerman, because then your address is the world. Anywhere you go, you are the king. Allie, one of the great coxmen of all time. surrounded by ladies wherever you go. What's that man? What, Coxman? Yeah.

Womanizer. Oh, okay. I didn't know. I'd never heard that term. Oh, yeah. Really? Oh. Sure.

Yeah. Great. Yeah. Yeah. Cotsman. Great with the ladies. Dave, I assume it's because of where you're from.

Do you know that everyone else calls him Ali? Ali? Ali. No, they don't. No, they don't. No, they do. Ali. Muhammad Ali.

Muhammad Ali. Yeah, but you're saying Ali. saying Ali every time. I think Muhammad Ali and Ali, Ali, Bambayé, I just watch that documentary again. It's the best. When we were kings, if you've never seen that. Talk about what would somebody be like if Muhammad Ali had lived in the age of social media, I don't know what.

He would go out there. He would, at press conferences, just break out in rhymes about people. He's like, I'm so, you know, like, I rasseled a brick. I'm so bad. I make medicine sick. Like it's crazy. Is that a real one though? That was the bar that you got from that.

That's awesome. What, I mean, imagine if, if like, it's like, what do you think's going to happen this weekend, Baker Mayfield?

And he just started telling rhymes that were offensive to the cheap. Baker just does office jokes or references, which is, here we go. We go to Cleveland. I don't want to stay with Cleveland. Let's move a, but I'm right about that,

right. Allie is the coolest guy. There he goes. Did you that? Allie. Yeah, alley. Yeah.

Yeah. But I'll also say, I'll also say the one shame is that Cassius Clay is the coolest single name in sports history. Cassius Clay and he had to give it up for understandable reasons. Yeah, but it's a cool-ass name. 2004 Pistons. I always was really drawn to them.

As far as like, you take the parade away, you take the nightlife away, you take the party away, you take the living in Detroit away, you take the having to go back to Detroit for your reunions away. you take all that those things away. Auburn Hills, yeah.

Auburn Hills. Let me, you gotta take something else around. Zeke and Bill Lambere are your two teammates. And the world. No, no, no, no. Three weird. No, 2004 Pistons.

Oh, the 2004 Pistons. Sorry, right, right. Yeah, there's no way I want to be on the bad boy Pistons. Just seems like a really angry group. Rip, probably a really nice guy. Rip Hamilton, Chauncy. Tachian Prince. Rashid Wallace, who's a Chiefs fan, by the way.

I want on his podcast. So eventually, hopefully he's a friend of the program. He's a soft verbal commitment to be a friend of the program. He's the coolest guy ever, dude. We would have had so much fun me and him. He drove a Bronco. I drive a Bronco. I think he likes the Hot Leaf.

Does he like the Hot Leaf? I think so. I like the Hot Leaf. Ben Wallace, Virginia Union. I mean, they were just like, they were the epitome of a team. They beat the Lakers too, which was like the big city, bright lights, superstars, Phil Jackson. They fucking beat them four, one. It's what caused the divorce of Shaq and Kobe.

And they had Darko, who turned out to be, talk about a movie about, you know, make a screenplay about one athlete who's got fringy. I want to know, this guy's a, he moved back to the Eastern Block. He's doing farming and mixed martial arts. Did you know that? We talked about it on the pod. Also, any Colombian or Brazilian soccer team, Colombian team because you're kind of untouchable if things are going well. And I'm assuming you're on a championship team.

I would not, that'd be one of the bottom choices for teams that don't win championships. Yeah. Not as cool as it sounds if you don't win it all. Brazil, that would be amazing. They literally kill them. the guy who kicked the ball into the goal against the U.S. so high stakes. You said you like the stakes.

People check Twitter after games to see how bad they're getting crushed. You check like under your car for car bombs. And also they don't make it quick like that, I don't feel. Like you don't get a car bomb down there in Columbia. You get something else like something that I saw on Narcos or something. And this is one of your choices. Any, no, yeah. Well, if you win, it's a great place to be.

I got you. I got you. Before we wrap, we're doing hockey uniforms, and I want to ask you your three favorite as of the start of this season. I do want to say, just to wrap this up. I want to say because he does not get honored nearly enough in my book. We talk about juju and his stuff in the pregame and all disrespectful and everything else. We need Max McGee, the night of the Super Bowl, the first ever Super Bowl,

went on a twister. Bender. And then caught a couple of touchdowns in the first Super Bowl. We don't honor him enough. You're damn right about that. We've talked about him on this pod. Believe it or not, Max McGee. It's the greatest.

I mean, the guy's name is Max McGee. He's bald and he's drunk and he catches two touchdown passes off you. That's the greatest. I mean, and it leads me to believe it must have been good times being on that. Yeah, you're still smelling like a couple of, hookers, a couple of pretty women in Acme, wherever you could get them in Acme. Yeah, no, Max McGee, he was living the Smelly Life. Yeah, they, yeah, then they're in L.A., so I'm sure they had some good times to week out. Oh, yeah, they were in L.A., yep. Those guys, I mean, like,

I know the Steelers, when they would go to those Super Bowls in this in 78 and 79, everything, they were living. I mean, they didn't, they didn't, wasn't like, well, it's Tuesday night. There's no carfew. We better start in early. Yeah, There was no curfew. What good times. There was no curfew. I'll give you mine right here. Win play show.

I hate this. This is the case, but I don't want to jive myself and I won't jive you. The best uniforms this side of the Raiders in maybe all of sports, right up there at the very top, the Philadelphia Flyers. My most hated team in all of sports is the Flyers, and they also happen to have maybe the best uniforms in sports. but they definitely have the best in the NHL. Two, I will go and not just out of homerism, the Pittsburgh Penguins. I love that all three teams wear black and gold,

but the uniforms themselves are cool, angry penguins, skating and everything. Cool. And then it's a hodgepodge. I go classic. I, for whatever reason, resent very modern-looking uniforms in hockey and football most.

And so I don't go with any of the newfangled teams. It's a mix of Islanders, wings, hawks, leaps. Take your pick. You can't go wrong with any of those getups. They're all great. One thing about Pittsburgh. No, I think they have a fine logo.

And I love it when animals start doing things with sports equipment. It's one of my favorite things. It's very minor league baseball, though. And you guys do a good job of making that not look minor league baseball. You know who gets away with a minor league baseball logo? The San Jose Sharks. And they have some cool uniforms and it works for them. but that logo, I could see that at the double A ball level.

You're right. Well, what they do is, what all the minor league hockey teams do is they just put ice in front of everything. Like, it's though that makes everything right. The Tigers, that's a good name. What about the Ice Tigers? Works for hockey. Works for hockey now. You know what, though?

You'd be surprised. There is such a thing as Ice Tigers. Have you ever seen tigers in the snow? I know they're snow tigers. Google Snow Tigers. No, you're thinking of. snow leopards. Are you thinking of snow leopards? There's real bengal tigers

in some of the more higher altitude areas in some of those countries over there where tigers live, and I've seen them in the snow. Once we settle the hash of pro football's postseason, let's join forces again and figure out who needs to get new uniforms because the Bengals are right up there. I mean, it's really there people sleep on them and the Cardinals.

We should do all sports after the season. The three of us do all sports. want to tell you one thing, though, fellas. I've considered it the single worst. I want the Rams and Browns to go away so that we have a great Final Four and then a great Super Bowl. And we're guaranteed that if we get rid of those. If we get rid of those two, we're in good shape on that. I've considered, though, based on uniform matchup, the worst, the biggest eye sore because the NFC gets the home jersey this year, the Chiefs wore the red last year. We really dodged a visual bullet a year ago because if the Niners would have wearing their red and the

chiefs wore their red pants. Yeah, I remember that was a near shit show. Maybe we just pushed it. We maybe kicked it down the road by one year because if the Bucks get there and they play the Chiefs, they not be able to watch. That was terrible. That could be terrible. That would be no good.

And also then the Bucks don't have any great options. The white jersey is okay, but they're not going to go with that. So it would either be their red jersey or shame the devil. What if they break out that all gray get up? That's the only thing that would disrupt. And that's my final thought for you is it is crazy. I mean, four months of like Russell Wilson's the MVP and he has to get it. Well, now he's not.

And like, all the Steelers are 11 and oh, but and all the debates that happen week in and week out about football has obscured the fact that Tom Brady is now 60 minutes at 43 years old after that divorce from Belichick. He's 60 minutes away from a title game. I don't know what we could say about it to make it as big as it is, but it's big if that happens. Listen, and I think it does happen. Oh, yeah, double digits. Battle of the Bayes. Battle of the Bayes for the... Battle of the Bayes would be fun.

A lot of water up there in Wisconsin. If you get Mahomes v. Rogers or Brady, it's marvelous. Breeze less so. Breeze will choke. Not choke, but he's, you know, he fades away or whatever, and he's not easy to root for at this point. But if you get Brady at Rogers in Lambo with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line, oh, what heaven that'll be. Packers Chiefs, best uniform combo.

That's what I'm, that's what I agree. Oh, that's the final one. And we talked about Super Bowl one. Whoa. Do you want the historical nod to Super Bowl one with the Chiefs going all white, white pants, even though the red pants are their better get up? Or do you want them to go red pants against the Packers? You can't lose.

There's no bad. answer to that one. I don't think there is there's not a way you could lose there. Well, they're not going to get there. I might argue that Packers Browns is a bit more visually appealing than Packers Chiefs. The Browns are not going.

You're trying to get. I know. Browns aren't going to Browns turned on. He's on his way how you can rile them up. They looked. Is that your thing? No, I'm not riling. I'm not riling. That's one last question and then I'll take leave of you. I assume you guys want me to go away already.

See, you invite me. I'm the guest to- Macon's got, Macon's got a life in life, he says. All right, I have one more question for you. That I don't understand when people do that.

Do you, a lot of people are like, hey, well, now you're rooting for the Browns, right? Like, don't you want to see them do well now? No,

I don't want to see them do well. Do you get into this thing? I don't understand it at the college level, and I certainly don't understand it at the NFL level. Like, hey, I hope our conference does well.

No, I don't do that. I want to see you. suffer. Like you've caused me pain and I want to see you suffer now too. I hate that. So UNC will get in the game and I'll be like fuck them and people will be like, ACC man. And I'm like, yeah, ACC your way out of this conversation.

Nice. I'm not the commissioner and I don't run the ACC network. Ergo I get nothing out of this. I want to see them suffer. I agree with both of you. The only time I went all in on that thing was UMBC. Hey, maybe they're actually really good. Let's keep this thing going.

And then Virginia fades into the distance. a bit, even though it's still 16 over one. That's the only time. I'm with you. Those retrievers. There's no getting over that one. No, there is because we won the title. Yeah, kind of made it. Part of the story.

Not exactly, though. Dave, appreciate your brother. While the holiday season may be over, the sports calendar is in full swing this week. From college to pro sports, there is no shortage of action, and there is no better place to get in all of this action than with Draft King's Sportsbook,

Gambling problem call 1,800 gambler. Or in Indiana, 1,809 with it. Did you know what I meant by Pittsburgh, that logo looking a little minor leaguey? You start having animals do things with human props. I did, and I actually got a little worried because San Jose sharks might make an appearance for me. That's okay.

That's okay. Yeah, we were asked in this mailbag here to rank hot. hockey uniforms. And I was like, man, we've never done that. We should do it. Hockey just started. I'm in the middle of trolling hockey fans as we speak.

All right, so two things about hockey this year. First off, not uniform related, but they are doing a Lake Tahoe Winter Classic thing. Cool. Yeah. Like video game backdrop, fantasy home ice style. Whoever came up with that idea, good on you. There's not a lot of.

good ideas like this in pro sports usually they're missing these and they're obvious and everybody's screaming at people like just there's ice at lake tahoe whole thing's frozen presumably are they actually doing it on lake tahoe or are they getting like a rink probably not taking a chance like that and an unfortunate incident today at lake tahoe the NHL oh what's it called when you don't expand as retracted to 28 teams or however. Football team, football team would have definitely found a way. Here's something I noticed as I was looking

and drive for five dot blog. So the question is, all righty, number one, rank your top three hockey uniforms. Can we talk about something though? Because we're looking at the same picture here. We're only dealing with sweaters. Yeah, we're just sweaters up. I mean, you can, you can,

You can talk about them however you want, but I'm just saying we're looking at 32, presumably. That's how many hockey teams there are, 32. We can't be sure. And let's not go to the trouble. 30-ish hockey jerseys right now, sweaters. The ones out west, I think it's pretty damning that all the people out west like really ugly hockey gear.

Because that's literally they're doing studies to see what sweaters and gear and merchandise sell regionally. All the teams out west, have ugly get-ups. You're right. I would argue with one exception. No, I mean, not all, yeah, but... Maybe with two exceptions.

I do like the San Jose Sharks look mostly because of the teal, I guess. No, they're fine. They're fine. And the shark is just chomping on a stick. That's the minor league baseball logo thing. It's like endearing if you can pull it off. Now, when the flames get rid of that black and their unies are just red and yellow,

sorry. I'm not counting them as out west. saying in the western United States. Okay. And especially in the Southwest. Okay. I mean, in the Southwest, people really need to look themselves in the fucking mirror. Well, what the hell happened with the ducks?

I mean, when we were young lads, they were the mighty ducks. It were gorgeous. And it was the movie. It was gorgeous. Uniform. What happened? Did a trademark run out? Did a lawsuit get filed?

Because now they look like trash. Absolute garbage. I mean the ducks, the coyotes, coyotes, like listen, coyote's kind of a, you know, a bee-level wolf, so it's kind of not the coolest mascot in general. Really, though, coyote?

I mean, it's cool, I guess, but... I think so. It could be a wolf. I'd defer to you on wolf matters. Yeah, no, but I'm just saying. I don't have one tattooed on my person. I love wolves, dude. You should see the gray.

when you're starting to watch movies. The gray is a movie? Yeah. Okay. The ducks, as you mentioned, terrible, awful penis head looking, flying D. Terrible logo. The Coyotes is piss weak. That thing like gold and red, two awful colors.

Okay, I'm with you on, well, okay. I told you last week I can't do ketchup and mustard together. No, no, but this is gold. This is like that kind of like really safe Chevrolet gold. I'd say they're not. I'm with you, but they're not as far away as the others. Yeah, the Kings, I mean, black and white, you could be awesome, but you go back to the Gretzky's. Just shit week logo.

Yes. Awful. The Knights, they have the coolest setup out there, but I'm not sold on their uniforms. The colors could work, but the uni is not. The Calgary Flames have one of the best uniforms in the whole damn league. when they just go red, white, and yellow. Get the black out of there. Like you said, that would be if I had a logo for my life.

Because your name's Chris. Yep, starts with C. That logo right there is fire. Literally, literally. It's literally on fire. It's literally a blaze. Weed. No, I was thinking if you could top me with another adjective.

Oh, it's lit. It's combusting. It's. hot. It's flaming. It's smoking. We don't know that for sure. Huh? How do you know it's smoking? All right. Here's ones that need a reboot for me,

Blue Jackets. Yes, that's exactly where I went. Terrible senators is totally like clip art looking. I mean, look at this fucking senator. I'm with you. That's so low budget. So low budget. I'm going to give you another team, the Dallas Stars out West. Okay. You went and fuck that whole thing up.

I have some knowledge on this one. Yeah. Because of video games in my past. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Once upon a time, the stars were the seals. Really? California Golden Seals, perhaps. That is a weird hockey mascot.

And then they turn into the, well, you know what? Chris, the history doesn't matter. Check out this uni, though, from the Seals. Badass. Dude, that's, um, Hawaiian Tropics, the Flint Tropics. That's, that's like literally the hockey version of the Flint Tropics uniforms.

Is that a movie? Yeah, it's the Will Ferrell movie about basketball. Oh, I haven't seen it, but I do know what you're talking about. Yeah, semi-pro. Oh, well, there you go. What's his name in the film? Jackie Moon. Jackie Moon.

Yeah. But I just could not think a semi-pro. You're totally right. Stars, go back to the seals and you have something. I mean, just like do something, do better with those colors. Like, how about that? You know what I mean? So people out West, they like ugly hockey gear.

They're also doing, oh, whalers, wish the whalers were still around. You know what I mean? One of the best logos. If my name started with W, that's the logo. But you know the H is in there too, right? Oh, yeah. It's like hidden in there, right? Yeah, one of those.

It's doing a thing. like the Atlanta Hawk for so many years that was staring at me. And I didn't even see him. The hawk. You remember the hawk's logo? Yeah, bro. There was a fucking hawk in there all the time. The FedEx logo.

There's an arrow pointing forward. Part for whalers. You see the H? Tell me when you see the H. You see the H? Tell me when you see the H. There's a lot of pressure on me right now to see the age, dude. Yes, I see it.

And it is so cool. Isn't that awesome? That age, that is the logo. If your name was Henry Wong, You're putting, that's your profile pick. Flyers. Dave said something about the flyers having the best, uh,

getups in the NHL. I would disagree that they're the best, but they sure do look great. They look good. One thing that sets them apart is that nameplate on the back. If memory serves is a black nameplate with white lettering, which is very cool. Nice nameplate.

I'm going to tell you who's got the best lettering, man. The best lettering, the Rangers. Diagonal. Yeah. across like a seatbelt, seatbelt of swag. Yes, I can't disagree. Classic. And give me the all whites or the white uniforms.

Yeah. It really, like, that whole thing really pops when they're wearing the white. So the Rangers for me are top five for sure. Maple leaves as well. Well, careful, maple leaves. Maple leaves. Leafs. They can be Leafs when they win a championship.

I'm not going to do bad English because some people from Canada we ain't speaking Canadian down here I'm not speaking Canadian for you win a fucking trophy and I'll make it leaves those the leaves till then you're the leaves because I am I'm speaking English Toronto Maple leaves the Stanley Cup alone they sure do know how to leave that thing alone don't they

oh God I don't have any friends on the Toronto Maple Leaves. Austin Matthews, is he still a leaf? We shouldn't try to guess. You want to call the Maple Leaves? Do you want to call them? I bet they have a phone number. Toronto Maple Leaf.

Call him and ask for the Toronto Maple Leafs. We got it. You sure you don't need like an adapter of some sort to make this call? We call. We have to call. Our offices are now closed. Please leave us a message and we will return your call the following business day. Thanks and have a great day.

You cannot record a message for voicemail, season seat holder. This mailbox is full. That's representatives in French. Oh. That would have been useful 30 seconds ago. Can't get thrown to the Leafs, huh? Man, business must be good. It must be why they haven't got a cup yet.

Busy not clearing their voicemail. Fucking assholes. Nice. roasted. All right, dog. Savers, those Navy uniforms, that is low-key. I, like, I have a uniform chub for the damn Buffalo Savers. That little Buffalo. Well, bro, the logo is the best.

Oh, that logo is, oh, God, that logo is gorgeous. Yes. That logo is the Marilyn Monroe of logos in sports. Agreed. It's gorgeous. I didn't even think Marilyn Monroe is hot, actually. so I'm a little bummed out that that's who I had to go with.

They also have a lighter blue which I might like even more and the white works too. Great uni. Beautiful uni. And the number on the clavicle there which is... It's if the Indiana Pacers grew the fuck up

word. And got some real uniforms and a real logo. That number on the clavicle appears to be unique to the league which I also respect. Super cool, dude. I'm glad you mentioned that.

Also, here's one. The Oilers, the Edmonton Oilers. Look at that logo. Look at the drip on that logo. Drip alert. Yep. Yep. Yep. Oh, come on, man. That is gorgeous, bro.

That logo is beautiful. That logo is the... Audrey Hepburn. of logos. Oh, that's a gorgeous logo. Wow. Audrey Hepburn passed some time ago. Yeah, I was being safe.

Yeah. I like it better on the white uni for whatever reason. The orange, the orange, oh, they have a nice little alt blue here, dog, which pops. It does pop, but get away with that, bro. Get away with that. Don't desecrate. Something doesn't want. work for me.

Look at the, okay, pull this up because there's also a reverse retro thing this year. Reverse retro

jerseys. It's like NBA City. It's like NBA City. That's what it's called? Probably. But if people were mature adults about it and actually made

good uniforms. Look at this thing. Look at the Sabres. You just pulled this up. This is gorgeous. Yes. The white alternate. I'm even into the

Christmas, New Jersey Devils thing. Yeah, I don't know. Pick your colors. You can't just swap out in a new color. Okay. Whalers? No, no, no, no, no.

The whalers in gray. Beautiful. Dallas Stars, like, what the fuck are you doing? Baylor is what they're doing. I was going to say, like, yeah, Oregon, but you're right, it's Baylor. Dude, and let me tell you something. The Florida Panthers go right back. Go right back to those uniforms.

They weren't cool in the 90s, but they were ahead of their time and that they were so 90s that they could come back and be like classics right now. I don't, I don't, oh my God, that's gorgeous. I have now shown him the Calgary Flames minus the black. It's gorgeous.

All right. To hopefully get on to another question in this mailbag, I'm going to name you my number one. Okay. And you're going to have to tell me if we have to redact it based on insensitivity. Chicago Blackhawks. I'm,

listen, there's always been people talking about the logo. Like, I really just don't know enough. I mean, to me, it looks like the Washington football team logo. So that could be a problem. It's probably a problem, dude. I would think it is a problem. Why haven't they gotten on that? I don't know.

I, you know, I'm comfortable leaving this in the podcast because it's my favorite looking uniform. Okay. Yeah, no, it's gorgeous. I mean, it's a nice uniform. Actually, there's nothing I actually like about it. You know what's cool? The colors of the feathers. That's what's cool. That's the only thing cool about that. And so all these years that you look at that kind of like without thinking about it and you're like, yeah, it's a cool fucking uniform you got there. There was actually not that much cool about it. In fact, there was something pretty uncool about it. And it was just the feathers the whole time. love the implementation of a few bright colors in a uniform that doesn't feature those colors in like a small spot like the Steelers like in the logo. Yep. Same thing with those feathers. Maybe you could change that and keep the same colors.

All right. So I do want to say this. Canucks are in the mix. As are the red wings. Red wings, a lot of red and white. Definitely in the mix. are you are you comfortable saying that hockey

has the best logos or is it football I'm not comfortable answering that question period because when I think of the best logo in sports right now are you sitting down Denver Nuggets

so I would need to evaluate bro state your case that that's sucker right there yeah no it's not that cool it looks like something that they put on a new hood

hooded sweatshirt that like a 40-year-old dad buys to make it kind of try to look vintage and you put like a fake year on it. Nuggets 54 whenever they were founded. Looking at that, they look like a fake organization that L.L. Bean put on like a hat. Fuck you. Fuck you. That logo is fire. The colors, the symmetry, everything.

Okay? Yeah, nah. I'm not on it. It's amazing. And then the avalanche is probably pretty 90s looking and has an age well. Agreed. Needs a reboot. Yeah.

Next question. Tell each other's stuff that y'all don't know about each other. Here's one. I'm going to tell you my birthday. Oh, unless you know it. I don't. That is insane to me. I don't know Marcus's birthday.

December 29th. I don't know people's birthday. birthdays, bro. I know people in my family's birthday, but outside of that, I made a rule. I know your family's birthday. I'm the most important person in your life and you don't know my birthday. That is a setup because I love my wife. March 26th. Yeah. And I love my dad also. January 6th. Okay, you're also doing a freakish thing right now. So like we're we're on opposite ends of the spectrum. Okay. Your, your birthday is in July. That's right. Yep. It is July 14th. That's wrong. So one thing I'll tell you about myself that you don't know is that my birthday is July the 9th. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. That's funny.

Your turn. Oh, that's funny. Hey, can I ask you a question? Please. When's Tony Bennett's birthday? June 1st. I swear to God. I don't know why, but that's right. You can keep trying. And Surely you're going to get me probably with the next one, but birthday stick in my head. When's your father-in-law's birthday? May 21st. That's good. That was a pump fake.

I was actually going to ask you about the more important person in your life, your mother-in-law. What's her birthday? August 27th. Sorry, time ran out. August 27th. Yeah, time ran out. It's like wishing her happy birthday the 28th.

Time ran out in the exercise. How about your brother-in-law's birthday? Same as my father-in-law, May 21st. You got to admit, I mean, I'm kind of a douchebag with birthdays, but come on. He's just making shit up, I'm not. I'm not. Okay.

What's George Welsh's birthday? I don't know. What's Al Groh's birthday? Who I talked to today, shout up to Coach Groh. I don't know. What's the deck? Oh, okay. what's America's birthday?

Yeah, what is it? January 20th, 2021. Oh, okay. I like that. By the way, my awesome dental hygienist, Ashley, from Punksitani, Pennsylvania. How about that? Incredible.

I meant to look up. Her folks run a pizza joint there. Poxetani pizza. No, it's... Punksitani, right? You got to say it that way, huh? Yeah, but that's not the name. Paxetani is like in Rhode Island.

Laskas Pizza's pizza. If you're ever in Punksitani, go check out Laskas Pizza, a strong 4.5 with 369 Google reviews. And the last... What are the odds with Groundhog Day bearing down on us? But I couldn't... I was like, oh, wow. Yeah, February 2nd, Groundhog Day.

And she's like, yeah, have you been to Punksitani? I was like, nah, I'm just really into the holiday. And I was unable to turn the car in the direction of... So there's this podcast and my friend. So I'm a co-host on a podcast and we're trying to make Groundhog Day of things so we can sell merch and, you know, plant some inside jokes in the listenership. And it's not, it's more genuine and organic than that. Like there's a mailback question and what holiday should be commercialized and on three at the same time. We said it at the same.

And now we want to make T-shirts and stuff. And she probably would like jab something into my mouth. Oh, for sure. Well, she did jab things into my mouth. She would have been like, anyway. I'm not listening to that podcast. Right. Next thing that I don't know about you.

Oh. Did you give me one of you? Yeah, but I can't follow that, that you know everybody's birthday that was ever born. I really did struggle with this one. Oh. Yeah. I don't know if that translates. I threw up before every morning meeting in high school from September through December.

I think I knew that. Okay. It was a nervy thing I used to hold my poo in when I was a little kid It's afraid to poop That's too bad man There's a book about that I can help Not the poo log

Everybody poops I was thinking about I was like children's book right Yeah Didn't you buy that for my kid? Yeah Well yeah I tried Yeah

Did you? I think so Isn't that funny I forgot if you got it for me You forgot if you got my kid a book. No, yeah, that was me. That was you. I don't think it was anybody else.

Okay. I haven't had root beer. Here, have some. No, thanks. You already had some. Root beer is really good. You've never had root beer. Yeah, I don't know why.

Well, I don't really like soda, and it sounded funny. My great aunt is the first woman to swim the English channel. Serious? Yeah, Gertrude Ederley. born no idea when swam across the whole damn thing dude i'm just going to throw out a date october 2nd well you're not clairvoyant okay i got the right got the right month that's pretty good uh she's your on huh great great great aunt great or whatever it is i'm related to her that's the story born in 1905 yeah cool that's yeah could have yeah probably great great great aunt um

yeah also uh it's not really about you that's more about gertrude I know, but that's, well, it's something, yeah. It is kind of about me. Okay. I mean, okay, my 11th. If I phrase that differently, my, I'm related to. Right. The person that did the swimming thing.

My 11th great-grandfather is William Bradford, who of course famously wrote of Plymouth Plantation. He was the governor of Plymouth Plantation. Now you're going to make it fucking into a thing. Let's, ah, Jesus. What they did. at Plymouth Plantation. Colonized fucking America and shit, but nicely.

They were polite about it. You got some fucked up relatives, man. I just got a bunch of poor Irish people. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Go back far enough. We'll find something. Okay.

Poor Italian people. Oh, dude, my guy. That's actually not true. I was related to somebody, a mayor of Newark, too. He got in a bunch of trouble. one of my relatives got kicked out of his mayorship up in Newark. Oh, damn. It's hard to do, I would imagine, in the time that he did it.

Yeah, these days you're cool. You're good, no matter what. Yeah, I guess. You're right. Oh, my goodness. Jeez. Lived in the wrong time. Yeah.

Bro, check out William Bradford. We kind of had the same look going on there if it was a week ago. Do you see the resemblance? Yeah, a little bit. A little bit. Moving right along. Fucking jerks. Hey, William Bradford.

I don't know how to say this. Fuck that guy, dude. Oh, really? Yeah. In search of religious freedom, motherfucker. You want to say that that's not a thing people should pursue? You atheist, a-hole. Huh.

Huh. Your family sucks. Jeez. Oh my God, dude. Big Brad Wolf is going to be on you. You better tread lightly here. I'm just joking. Big Brad Wolf is a fine gentleman.

Thanks. But all that colonizing, I got a 106. He's on the Mayflower. Was he on the Mayflower? Yeah. Keep going. He was on the Mayflower. Yeah.

You were related to somebody on the Mayflower, huh? Yeah. Nina. Pinta? Santa Maria. And then the Mayflower. That's how it went. Yep.

Famous ships in sequence. I could do this all day. Titanic. Captain Phillips's boat. Willis. S.S. Minow, bro. That's right. Jaws, the Jaws boat.

Don't do this. Don't look up famous boats, dude. I was a UVA ball boy once. Basketball. I think I do that. Yep. Okay. I got 106 on a project in high.

school. Did not know that. Yeah, Miss Petros' class. Oh, you know, Miss Petross is a neighbor of ours. Is that right? Literally two houses down. No. Yeah. We got to go thank her. Yeah. For everything she did for us. Well, 106, I can't imagine what that did to your confidence. It was like going for 45 and you're like the 12th guy on the bench. Like, like, I just, felt like this is unbelievable. 106. It was, you're the guy who's never got in at senior night. You get to start and you start making shots. Yes, dude.

So for all your academic, you know, prowess and your long list of accomplishments in that arena, did you ever get a 106? I don't know that I did. Frankly, I don't care for scales that go above 100, but I don't know that I did, Chris. I earned it, dude. I can belly dance. Wow. Did you know that?

No. Yeah, I can roll my stomach. Oh. Yeah. I think I might have purged that from my head pictures, but it does. Like, you know, I can do the fat kid dance with the top to bottom, rolling it. Yeah. Yeah.

Circus life. That would have been me in the boardwalk empire time period. Most hated song of all time. That was a good one. Afternoon delight. Oh, yeah. especially after Anchorman. Can't do it.

Anything by Clint Black, and it's nothing against Clint Black, but when I had nightmares as a little kid of the boogeyman, holy shit. I don't know that I had ever seen Clint Black before, but the boogeyman in my nightmares was Clint Black's face to a T. And then I grew up to see what Clint Black looked like, and I can't look at pictures of the guy.

And so whenever his name even comes on the thing, I got to turn off. I feel like Clint Black, looks like George Strait. No, no. They look way different. No offense to Clint Black, but George Strait is a dashing man.

Yeah, George Strait. George Strait, he had his, he walked into a saloon and everything stopped. If I get to look like anybody in the world, I might pick George Strait. Pull up George Strait, bro. Yeah, happily.

George Strait. My guy. He looked like somebody, bro. He looks like somebody we know. Pull up that picture right here. Pull up that picture right there. He looks like Tom Brady, bro. George Strait looks like Tom Brady.

A little bit. A lot of bit, bro. A little bit. Yeah, a little bit. If you tell me that's Tom Brady's uncle, yeah, I'm down. Yeah. Less so as he gets a little older. Less so as he gets older.

Less so as he gets older. Yeah, what else are you going to tell me? Oh, songs you hate. I'll stop there. Yeah, those suck. Who's going to live longer? Me or Macon. I picked me.

Yeah, that's probably true. But, bro, I swear to you. Supposedly Hot Leaf kind of helps you. Oh, it helps you? Yeah.

I guess I am a lot taller, so that doesn't bode well for me. You are a little bit taller than me. But torn labrum, the stubbed toe. Yeah, that's been tough. is now into my lower back.

Could turn into gang green any second. I think, I don't know really what, I think my genetics are all over the place. I think we have people living long lives and short lives, so I'm not banking on that. I just think I'm going to keep it down the middle here for the next probably 60 years or so. And maybe I won't so much.

Do you see me like, what do you see me being like when I'm old? Being like? Yeah. Um, I think you'll kind of be like, uh, I'm looking forward to you old. Better. You'll be better. Better.

Yes. Yeah. And I'm not just saying you're going to like age gracefully. I just, I really look forward to a different version of you. Like still you. You're going to be the exact same. Yeah. At 85.

Yep. Be pretty good at podcasting at 85 though. You could have one of the dope. This podcast in 262 or whatever it's going to be. Podcasts in 262 are going to be like a puppet show is today. Puppet shows. Where did they go? Somebody's going to be doing the same thing with podcasts.

You're absolutely right. Yeah. Puppet shows. I don't think I ever attended a puppet show. I think I went maybe when I was a kid. That's what people are going to be like, yeah, I went and saw the green light pod back in 22. For your kids, let's put on a puppet show.

Guy's going to be staring out of his Jetsons, like apartment that's just floating. Went and saw the Greenlight Pound. Oh, we'll probably be, what are those things? Holograms. Holograms. In the people's Jetsons' homes. We'll just be old. And we'll look the exact same because.

I'll be old. You'll be dead. But I'll be old. Well, not necessarily. It'll be the pick of you. Not necessarily. Not necessarily. Listen, I'm thinking my odds are like plus 340.

Oh. Which were also the odds of the Cleveland Browns the other night pretty much. To outlive me. Yeah. I'll give you better odds than that. What do you think? Like plus, this is morbid, huh? Yeah.

Some people are going to be making bank at some point off this. Let's change the question. Okay. Okay. All right. Just in case, man. Because you know it would be fucked up. At one another's funerals, you just stopped the procession.

You're like, guys, I just want to play you something. well people are like I knew all along shaking your hands but they're $20 handshakes like paying up because they lost a vet feigning sadness I got it at plus

340 it's good stuff I'm gonna change where I live now or both a hydrated king so we might be around But just know, the game plan's changing for me a little bit now. Okay, well, I can tell by your bag chock full of fried foods that you're well on your way.

I got nothing to say to that. All right. It's good. Chick-fil-A everywhere, dude. Drive across the U.S. alone, only stop at gas stations or fly 19 hours with a crying baby. I have written down here, flying baby. so technically

technically 19 hours is looking a little bit better but I think the gentleman ass crying so and is the crying baby it's your crying baby it's your crying baby okay doesn't really matter to me

I picked the drive me too I looked it up apparently 45 hours across the country I love being by myself yeah shout out to my lovely lovely wife.

She knows that about me. You know what? They're probably listening to this podcast together right now. Wife alert. Wife alert. She's not 90 minutes deep. Very few people are. Yeah,

no. Might be 120 minutes deep at this point. If you're here, you're actually closer to us than our lovely wives. Right. In some. She knows I get down with solitude. Also get down with my.

My lovely wife tells me, hey, I know you like going to the movies. alone, but don't ever do that. Hmm. You know, I know you like going to dinner alone, but don't ever do that. It makes her sad. Oh, really?

Like about me, just like picturing me at the movies alone. Oh, I get that, but I love that. That's what a great... I love going to the movies alone. Oh, perfect. So I'll hang out driving. I love driving. I love driving.

I love being alone. Audio books. Yes, books. Reading one about the Silk Road right now in my head, reading it. Oh, cool. In my ears. Cool. Yeah.

Forget the name of it. I think it's just called the Silk Road. Oh. I don't remember. Oh, I'm Ryan Rosillo. I read books and have a bad attitude. Rate review and subscribe. American Kingpin.

American Kingpin. He's, he's, you should just keep doing this until he has to talk shit about you on his pod and the listenership over there, which is massive. It drives them here.

They're higher than number eight. I don't, dude, I don't know what any of that stuff means. Zion for positions. They're definitely higher than number eight. This dude, he does numbers. Also, crying baby, if I have a crying baby, I'm going to be fantasizing about fighting somebody

the whole flight because I'll be getting like that, you know, that stare from people like. And I can see the look in your eyes. I, I've seen it in many settings. What does it look like? Well, your eyes just start looking a little bit and you look really fucking annoyed, like the most annoyed person I've ever seen. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, that would be that situation because I have no patience for people to get on planes as if they didn't know how children get from point A to point B. Like, do you think that they like send the kids to the in-laws in a Paw Patrol car? Right. Airplanes. airplanes and also 19 hours goodness gracious that's torturous you could have made that nine and it's it's probably still a drive for me yeah absolutely i mean even without the kid um i did the drive l a to virginia only stopped in flagstaff spent the night slept six hours and then we went from flagstaff to virginia that was

33 hours wow yeah dude i felt like a trucker i did i did i did Omaha and Nebraska to Charlotte, so Virginia. I did that without a stop. That was 20 on the way back. 18 on the way back or 20? One of the two. 18 on the way there. Stopped in St. Louis. Saw my friend Chris.

Gateway Arch. What year was that? 2009. Holy shit. Okay. Best underrated thrills. This is prompted because I found my wallet this week. I lost it. I found it. yeah for sure um i would say losing your wallet's almost worth it by the way for the thrill but if you lose lose it everything's digital right now dude i got um waking up 90 plus minutes before the alarm

that's like a new night of sleep yeah oh 90 plus no i need like four hours yeah i 90 plus i think is the cut off if it's like just an hour it's like uh fuck dude even 90 90 minutes for me and I'm like I feel like what if I said to you two hours so my alarm was seven and it was five football season like back when I played if my alarm went off at five I'm basically awake which sucks and I roll around I'm thinking about having to wake up early go sit in fucking meetings and watch dbs and coverage okay in my back spasm up sitting in those little chairs yeah fuck that okay I am can't do that I need like two 30 a.m. Okay. Well, pick your own time. Yes. But when you can wake up and think, oh, thank God,

that's an underrated thrill. I love that. Yep. I love that. Um, hitting the gas on the dollar. Ooh, nice. Yes. That, that was a pastime of mine in my teen years. I still do it. Do you? You don't ever do it? No, here's what I do. You fill it up. Yes. I don't fill it up. I don't fill it up. As you know. And guess what? When it clicks off. Yeah? Take the fucking nozzle out.

That's when it's full. You numb nuts trying to overfill that bitch. You're an idiot. All right? It clicks off. You're done. Take the thing out. Yeah, I don't have time for that shit, dude.

To fill up my gas. Are you still going to like $10? Because that's what I did when I was 16 and had $10. I go about $20 at time sometimes. But if I have to do something at the pump, like say, make a phone call. I might take that time. How about that being dangerous and everything blowing up?

You heard about that? The phones. Cowboy reads is a bad idea. I think it is a bad idea. Yeah, but that's up to God unless you guys don't think it's up to God. You're the one who isn't at all in on pursuing religious freedom.

So who are you to say? Huh? I wish we could ask William Bradford. Oh, you're not making fun of my deceased 11th great-grandfather. That's cool. What else are you doing the gas pump lighting matches? No, no zoo lander situations. Also, airplane seat next to you unoccupied.

Oh, very good one. Yeah. That's great. That's great. You're good at these. I'm less good. Making a roaring fire. Because you can make a fire, but it could suck.

But if you're the fire maker... And you feel like a... Like the man on the paper towel, brawny guy. Yeah. That's how you feel. Yeah. But if you don't make it,

you feel like a man in the erectile dysfunction, like frustrated erectile dysfunction man. It's like you could either feel like Paul Bunyan or a guy on the bed with his head and his hands and who has ED. High floor, low ceiling. It can go any way.

Yeah. And then you don't remark about it either. You don't say like, hey, check out this fire. Like, everybody knows. No. And then when they start praising you and they're like, great fire, you're like, oh, I don't know. Yeah. Oh.

But also I don't have a strategy. I just fucking. I just make it happen. Some people are like, oh, I watch this on YouTube. Let me stack them up this way. Have you tried this new Lego technique? Like, oh. it's all about airflow

and then if you're in the if you're in the home I know you're fond of the fire pit if you're in the home you have to start making excuses oh you're talking about in the home the flu any sort of fire I was talking outside I've seen bits and pieces of the film with Tom Hanks who's on an island

yeah cast away all fired up about the fire yeah any sort of fire the worst is when the porch is right next to where you're building the fire and everybody's enjoying drinks and you know just dicking off on the porch and you're down there and they're judging your fire. Right.

Just dicking off on the porch. Like, is he started or? Hey, we're getting cold out here. Some stupid shit like that. Should I get a jacket? I don't even want to be out here. I would prefer it if I was sitting by the fire alone. Okay.

You're ruining my relationship with the fire I'm building. How about the dentist saying? saying, well, everything looks great. No, that does. That is a good feeling. That is a good feeling. How about? Yeah, keep going.

Here's another wake up. The waking up after the exam, nightmare. You didn't study. Overslept your alarm. I'm right back in school six times a year, and it's a nightmare. It's awful. But this is best underrated thrills. Right.

Then you wake up, and it's like, oh, the wake up from the nightmare. I'm middle age and not in school. Yeah, John said that. Okay, I thought you were saying, wake it up late for an exam, the wake up. The wake up after the nightmare. Wake up of a dream.

Yeah, John said that too. I don't really, I don't, I don't dream. I don't dream. Oh. Yeah. I'd stop dreaming.

Maybe it's all the drugs. A listener's going to say, there's no, you're not getting REM sleep, but actually like I am getting REM sleep. I just had a sleep study done. Did you? Yeah,
