Starting point is 00:06:30 It's more accurate. I'm just, I don't think so. Some people are like only using Google Maps and it just blows my mind. The people are only using Google Maps, the same people that want to have, you know, the fucking droid, the Android instead of the iPhone. Spotify people. They're the Spotify people.
Starting point is 00:06:51 They're the same people that when you're sitting there and you're having a few micklebes with a couple buddies, you know, they got to drink, you know, Sleepy Joe's drowsy juice because this is the hot new thing on them. It's just the Google Maps people are just the people that it's always something. it's always got to be something look at their phone military time I mean can we just get on the same page

Starting point is 00:07:30 it's just easier for me because that's how the office operates so we're on that we're on that we're on that clock So it's just, I don't have to switch and go back and forth. I'm like, really? Go back to Iran, dog. I don't know. You can't flip it off from leaving your at-home work desk where it's, you know, 400, oh, 1,400 to the look and see it's 4 p.m.

Starting point is 00:09:34 and they're just like mega three. I don't know what to do. I don't know. I feel like I can pick up a little bit of that in this time that we're in right now. Yeah, right now is like, mid to late June, we're lost in the desert, man.
Starting point is 00:09:50 We're looking around. Desert is so true. Don't know. Call it June. Call it June. I don't know. And then every time you look at the TV, Savannah bananas.
Starting point is 00:10:01 We don't know. I'm like, it's so funny to see what they put on TV. I was literally watching women's professional softball for 48 hours. I was like, all right. Let's go. Let's go Portland. That's a, this is for producer Mike here. I actually, before we started recording tonight,
Starting point is 00:10:23 I actually went and did a little bit of shop prep. And I was trying to look and see on any of the sports apps or anything of like, what was going on. And desert. You do you prep for the show? I like I was, hey, I was taking a seat on the John, you know, got the kids down. Before I came down, I was like, I had, you know, handle a business. So I was like, well, I'm here.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Let me just, so I went on the ESPN app. I'm like, I mean, what are we going to talk about with the World Cup? Hmm. This just hit me. I didn't know that the World Cup was played all. over the United States. I thought it was only in L.A. Be a lot of teams to fit into one city.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Seems doable to me. God, I kind of wish now that I wouldn't have spoiled that, and you just would have gone on thinking that it all was taking place in Los Angeles. It took me a whole week to process what you were talking about. You said they were playing at Gillette. I was like, I'm just going to roll with this one. I was like, I'm pretty damn sure.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Maybe 98% sure that every team is playing as so, so far. but okay okay and I just want to let you know that bro I've watched that docketch clip I think I think 72 times a day okay so you're the one that's made up
Starting point is 00:11:49 for the 6,000 views so it's all me it's all me there's a second of me not doing anything second of delay I'm like I gotta check this out again okay all right a couple things couple of years prepping for the show
Starting point is 00:12:05 I got a couple things. Got a new candle. Can I guess? Let me see. Yeah. Hold on. Got a new candle late June in the desert. You know they're waiting for the second that the 4th of July is over.
Starting point is 00:12:24 So they can just roll right out with the new crisp pencil, fresh apple, false smell. I'll give you a, I'll give you a hint. Oh. Summer's over. I lit right when I lit it I was like bye I knew this is where we were heading Ben's not buying

Starting point is 00:12:59 Actually I don't want to listen To anything else but this So These two sports guys, they wear jerseys and team hats every week. So what are they talking about? The latest going on at the trade deadline? No. Give me a break.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Salary caps. We're talking about candle caps. Smell them all at your local target. They talk about Target's marketing schedule release. We're going to talk about the NFL schedule release. They talk about target marketing. Oh, God. Talk about one relevant thing they say.

Oh, God. Oh, yeah. Hey, and this one is hitting. Right. Right. When I lit it, dude, a whole, like, I, my whole mood changed. And I know that sounds insane. but it happened. And the whole day I was probably 30% happier because a candle. Because of a candle. Made perfect sense to me.
Starting point is 00:14:22 But check it out. Honestly, if you're in the like, dude, once a candle burns out, it's one of the best days of my week. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:14:27 yo, it's candle day. I'm talking to restock. Oh, and it's a fun little run, smelling six candles just in the candle oil for 17 minutes.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Because you picked the wrong candle, you just got to take the L. I know. Sometimes it is. It's tough. I feel like I feel like, but then sometimes I'm like, hey,
Starting point is 00:14:51 why not just get all three? That's a boy. Now we're talking. Why do we got to pick or choose leave one hanging? Why don't let them all at the same time? No, no. I mean, hey.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Left out of a party. Feeling bad for candles. Hey, next time, I promise. Like it's a dog at a shelter. I'm like thinking I'm going to have some regret Then I'm like you know what I'm sure they got a deal on all three of these
Starting point is 00:15:20 You know Yeah Three for 1999 or something like that I'll figure it out I'm a Yankee candle guy Rye's got target circle rewards It's got a fire up in there somewhere And if not
Starting point is 00:15:35 Just keep buying them until it does Yeah something's got to happen right I didn't put my number and email and credit card in there for nothing. Something's got to happen. And if not, fine by me. It's just a reassurance. It really is.
Starting point is 00:15:51 You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. If not now, at some point, one day it'll pay off. Dude, I was so candle guy. I put one in my bathroom. What the hell? Well, I mean, that's kind of one of the main places you would put a candle.
Starting point is 00:16:05 I know, but in an apartment, like, dog. Yeah. One candle is fine. It does it. It does a job. Centerpiece it. It'll it'll disperse. Yep. In the bat, I was getting a little, little bougie with the candle in the bathroom. I'm talking about Yankee too. These are full-fledged heavy hitters all around the house. These are, no diet candles. These are full Gatorades, baby.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Full sugar. You want to talk about a really cool one of my favorite little ambiances from my favorite little moments in time? Do I want to talk about this? One of my ones, I just want to snap a little, you know, Instagram story of it. So when you got the candle lit flickering, turn off the bathroom light, no windows in there. This is for play, dude, right now. We're getting into some naughty shit. So flicker?
Starting point is 00:17:08 Hey, every now and then to get a little, like the pop of the flame. Dude, the light against the wall. I'm like, if I don't, if I don't, if I don't hear a reindeer on my roof in about 10 minutes, you know, like it's that time. It could be reindeer or it could be the, oh. Ah, ha ha ha ha. Dant-dun-dent-dent-dent-dent-dent-denton-dent-dent-dent-dent-dent-dent-dent-d-d-dent. Every time I let a candle, guess it's Halloween. That's what I have to
Starting point is 00:17:54 I have to kind of remove myself from the candle section until I don't know August 12th Pump and caramel down there in Target I gotta I gotta let it because as soon as that happens
Starting point is 00:18:09 as soon as I get Home Sweet Home or as soon as I get you know apple pie cinnamon apple pie because they try to trick you they try to trick you they try to say cinnamon apple pie
Starting point is 00:18:23 Cinnamon apple pie is like kind of a summer thing like Fourth of July, America Apple Pie no, no, no, no, no. You open up that candle. You light cinnamon apple pie. You're at the apple orchard. And then you're going to the pumpkin patch. And then you're watching seven hours of commercial free football.
Starting point is 00:18:44 You into woodwick candles? Woodwood candles? Ah, not so much. What are you talking about? The only thing that matters? Hey. go ahead take a walk on the wild side get a woodwick it's 10 extra dollars they're on the coffee table
Starting point is 00:19:04 we were talking last week about kurch and dude put woodwick on the back of a jersey i'd buy it what number woodwick hey yankees jersey yankee candle woodwick on the back yankee 833 i was thinking that too i was literally going to to say that, but I was like, I don't know. He might have something better. Hey, because, hey, Woodwick, 3, 3. Yeah, it's just, Woodwick. Hey, you turn. Listen, hey. Woodwick up to bat. Dude, this is really the craziest.
Starting point is 00:19:53 These are the jerseys we need to be getting. You got all, yeah, I've got a good jersey collection. You got a good jersey collection. Church in 55. Has your, has your, has your wife going to be mad? What was the package you got in the mail? It's a Woodwick jersey. Explain that. Dude, explain that to her wife.
Starting point is 00:20:17 She'd be like, oh, okay. At least it wasn't Aaron Judge. We. Oh, okay. Wee. Okay. All right, all right. Something else.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Something else I want to drip in or tripping. Nebraska new uniforms. You see them? No, I haven't. Can you keep, can you, I'll pull it up. I'll pull it up. My bad, my bad, my bad. Nebraska football uniform.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Nebraska football uniforms. Football, no T. No one cares. This is how you spell it now. Nebraska new football unies. Been a little bit. I mean. Hey, I guess they don't look like Wisconsin anymore.
Starting point is 00:21:13 It's a positive. So they changed the numbers and added Two Adidas stripes on their pants Yeah different shoulder stripes Different pants stripes Kind of a traditional school taking a swing here Yeah At first I was like
Starting point is 00:21:41 It's kind of a practice jersey And then I was like okay I like it that they're trying to switch it up But the pants I don't like the pants really God, I hate to be like shitting on them. But I think the pants could be a little better.
Starting point is 00:21:55 See, but my thing is, it's kind of like you just said you said that it's a super traditional school and they're taking a swing. If you're a super traditional school, I don't think any swings need to be taken. Yeah. Sometimes you just got to juice it up a little bit.
Starting point is 00:22:15 I mean, like how long was Nebraska and Wisconsin looking exactly the same and playing each other? It was crazy. Spring game. And was he or was he not at the 2012 Big Ten Championship in downtown, Indianapolis, whereas Nebraska and Wisconsin and Monty Ball, James White ran for about 682 yards.
Starting point is 00:22:38 He was. Monta Ball was in that game? Yeah. I think they had. I think he's one of the best running backs ever. I'm pretty sure they had, not sports podcast, pretty sure they had a three-headed monster of Melvin Gordon, James White, and Monty Ball. on the same team
Starting point is 00:22:56 the same team and I'm pretty sure I'm not lying I'm pretty sure it was like 542 yards rushing that they I mean they obliterated
Starting point is 00:23:05 Wisconsin obliterated Nebraska in that game Taylor Martinez had a cool play where he ran around in the backfield for a long time and then took like 60 yards no it was Nebraska
Starting point is 00:23:16 Nebraska had Taylor Martinez okay I still I have no idea you could tell me Ron Dane played for Nebraska I'd be like That was a super weird game, though, because it was very early on when Nebraska joined the Big Ten, and you're like, what is going on?
Starting point is 00:23:33 One, to your point, look exactly the same. So it's bad. Two, both are Adidas schools. Three, why is Nebraska here? Why are you here in the Big 12? Go be in the big, just, what, you should be playing. So Big 12. Oklahoma State and Oklahoma and Texas A&M.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Bring back normal conferences. What? All right, yeah. So you're going tripping on that? Yeah, just because I think you see that's the thing is you think you need to splash up. You overthink it too much. And then you do just like these little tiny changes
Starting point is 00:24:15 that kind of takes away from who you really are and who you always have been. Alabama, Penn State, Nebraska, Michigan. You know, it's like even, I don't like when Michigan does all Navy. I hate that. It's weird. They didn't a national championship.
Starting point is 00:24:33 I was like, I hated it. You sure, bro? Dude, and there should be a law. This should be passed a federal mandate that when Ohio State and Michigan play. TG commandments,
Starting point is 00:24:47 Clubhouse commandments. Sorry. It needs to just be the traditional, normal home, the traditional, normal, away. Nothing pisses me off more than when you get to the game, Thanksgiving weekend. You're happy off your fat ass from the entire Thanksgiving weekend. You're probably having another Thanksgiving that day or you're getting together
Starting point is 00:25:09 with your buddies to drink beer and have a good time all day and watch college football at the end of Thanksgiving break. Christmas on the way, Snyder Stans, bang. And then you get to the game and you see the warmups and you see what's going on. and Ohio State's wearing like gray pajamas or black? Oh, all gray Ohio State. I'm like, no, I don't even want to watch this game anymore, dude. It really does dictate the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Or Michigan's wearing all navies at home? Doesn't count anymore. Game doesn't count. What are we doing, man? So you mean to tell me you're going to throw all of these highlights in our face and these awesome historic packages of what's going, of the last hundred years of this rivalry and Charles Woodson
Starting point is 00:25:53 and Desmond Howard and Archie Griffin and Schembeckler and Woody Hayes and boom and they all have the same uniform combinations just depending on it be different from who was hosting that year and who was on the road. And then you're going to open the game. And Michigan's going to look like that. And my whole says black helmets?
Starting point is 00:26:13 See me to tell me in 20 years when Frankie is sitting there with his buddies getting beers, getting ready to watch. the game and they're going to have those highlight packages on of J.T. Barrett and a black helmet? Yeah, I know. The cannon helmet, cannonball helmet. I was like, get out of here with that. Oh, dang, dude. Give me a break. Kind of a minute here. Kind of a minute. I mean, it's like, you know, Notre Dame and USC. It works when Notre Dame every now and then throws in the green jerseys against USC.
Starting point is 00:26:47 That's what I'm talking about. And that's all they need to do with the green jersey. That's like green jerseys. Yeah. Like, whoa, big time. This is the game. But when Notre Dame brings out those funky, like, leprechaun series or whatever,
Starting point is 00:27:02 shamrock, like, bro, these are such, like, who made these? Yeah, it's been, I mean, we all know why they do it because it's, you know, big, big payday, big dollars to be able to do the Shamrock series
Starting point is 00:27:19 and sell to go play it on a neutral site and have that all that. But it has been few and far between of what has worked for the Shamrock series uniforms and what hasn't. I don't think any of them have. I don't know. Oh, there's been a few.
Starting point is 00:27:36 There's been a few. I'm going to pull it up right now. Shamrock series, not matching. Shaksherner Mark Shamrock series? The one where they played a Yankee Stadium, not the all pinstripe. No, no. No.
Starting point is 00:27:55 It was 2024 is when Jeremiah Love left over that guy to the end zone. Forget who they play. But it was like, they was like their Gotham uniforms. Gothic and Gotham. That those look pretty slick. It's like a, it's like a, it's like a grayish, navy blue. And the numbers look super like French Gothic, but also could pass as Gallum, super shiny gold. Just regular gold helmets.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Yeah, pretty good. Just a slight change of the number kind of. They've been butchering those things, bro. The one that they played at AT&T Stadium, I think was Jaylen Smith's one of his years. It was white on white with a heavy, it was like white on white with heavy emphasis on Kelly Green and gold,
Starting point is 00:28:46 which I thought that worked. Hey, just Notre Dame, just go back to the regular gold helmets. What are we doing? Can we get real? Hey, Notre Dame, go back to the Jeff Samarja, gold helmets. Seriously. And gold pants. And gold pants for that matter.
Starting point is 00:29:04 What's happening with gold in uniforms or we just can't get it to work? The Saints? I'm like, guys, it is not hard. Like, how come there's schools in the CYO that can pull it off there in the New Orleans Saints? Old Gold, babe. Make it match. A little clubhouse hot take here I think that's one of the reasons
Starting point is 00:29:29 That the Steelers I mean They have their reasons But I think that may play a fact They're why the Steelers rarely if ever go to Like a gold helmet With like their pants Doesn't match
Starting point is 00:29:44 They wouldn't be able to get it to look right Different materials They did the they did the throwback Last year with Rogers the 1933 throwback and they had the gold helmets, but they had the khaki pants. They did the 75th anniversary, I think, back in 2010 and like 2009 to 2007, 2007, 2007 to 10,
Starting point is 00:30:11 Jesus, 07 to 10, 07 to 11, where they just had the black jerseys with the gold numbers and then the gold helmet, white pants. Really? Kind of clean look. It was clean look. It was a very clean look. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Did he or did he not have a Mike Wallace jersey in 2011 of that uniform and did he or did he not leave the very next year? He did. That is going to happen when you're a Steelers fan. Like, hey, I want to get his jersey. He might be gone in two months. Receiver especially? See you. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Linebackers too? Don't even think about it. I got another hot take, not uniform related. Real quick, real quick. Shout out Wayne Bush, one of my dad's best friends, his rule of thumb. And he told me about it. And it finally stuck on once I was past being like 19 years old. Can't get a jersey of a player until they're retired or dead.
Starting point is 00:31:19 He said, oh, man. They're not leaving the team then. Some jerseys are just hot. Like, does he or does he not want to peak her armstrong jersey right now? He does. Some jerseys are hot, bro. You just got to get him no matter what. Like, take the L if he goes somewhere.
Starting point is 00:31:39 But, like, there's some jerseys like in the past. I like Vic, obviously. Probably like Vince Carter. Just some are just... Where do you stand? Because you're such a big jersey guy. But like, what's the most current jersey that you have? Because where do you stand on the whole, you know, guys are just like,
Starting point is 00:31:58 I'd never put another man's name on my bag, especially somebody who's younger than me. Where do you stand on that? I don't really care about that. But I don't like the way they make jerseys right now, so I don't really buy any, like, new jerseys. Yeah. Unless they made them, like, super, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:32:17 like old style. But, like, an NFL jersey right now, I think fits and looks so lame. That, like, I have to get an older player because the material and all is just looks. better. It just, yeah, the jerseys now are made for guys who,
Starting point is 00:32:37 well that, but they're made for guys who used to be athletic in high school, but have really kind of let themselves go now that they're like 34. You can see a lot of boob on guy, I'm like, like all the same color too. It looks like a big t-shirt. It's sloppy. No more mesh. No more like sections.
Starting point is 00:33:00 you know? Jersey's used to have like that's the shoulder area. Those are the sleeves. Now it's just a big like polyester t-shirt. Just see a lot of boob out there. Damn.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Oh God. Not a local pod, but yeah, it's just this ring so true just because of like, go horse! Like Colts Nation. Dude, the blue ones, it's bad. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:33:27 I was thinking giants, bro. A giant's, Jersey is so ugly, like retail. Yeah. All right. All right. Hot take. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Go ahead. Yeah. I don't know if this has ever been a thing, but I've kind of always thought it. How come the NFL doesn't have rankings? Like the Steelers are playing the Ravens on the scorebug. Why isn't it say like 10 and 16? I know what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:34:02 I think that would go so hard. like, oh, they're number one this week? Like, why don't they do that? Top 25 came out? The Broncos are number one? Like, the Monday night game would be one and two. Oh, shit. Why don't they do that?
Starting point is 00:34:18 Like, what, I mean, what does that hurt? Would they do it for the playoffs, kind of? Yeah, because the seating. Fair question, man. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I don't know if it's just because there's only 32 teams as compared to 140. whatever, yeah, for the FBS, you know, that could go into the college football playoff.
Starting point is 00:34:42 I feel like, just for marketing, I feel like college football has to be like, they're just automatically more regional and like less known because there's so many, you know? And so for like them to really be able to like hype up something, it's like number two Alabama against number four Mississippi State like 10, 15 years ago or whatever. You know what I mean? It's like to a casual in Indiana, you're like, oh, wow, two verse four. It's going to be a pretty good matchup. But in the NFL, it's just like, Sunday night football. And you're like, I'm in. Doesn't matter if it's the fucking Jags against the Texans.
Starting point is 00:35:19 You're like, okay. It might make it worse in the NFL because they're hyping up Jags, Texans, which is probably like a. Well, that's the thing too. Yeah, it's like, you know, okay. 13, 16. Right. You're going to do top 25. Right, you're the top 25 and I mean, there's only 32 of them.
Starting point is 00:35:38 So it's like, I would like, dude, I'd like to see like a 24 knockoff of a one week three. I'd be like, oh. Or if they just did it, if they just did a top 10, you know, out of the 32. Like that's kind of essentially like you always see those power rankings every week. Yeah, no, that's what I'm saying. People put heavy emphasis on those like NFL.com, ESPN. Everybody has them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Everybody like, hey, admit it or not, admit it or not. I don't fucking fuck about those. Dude, hey, you're number one. Who's number one? Your squad gets hot, wins two in a row. All of a sudden you find yourself in Nick Wright's number six. You're like pretty solid. Bro, Colts would have been number one last year,
Starting point is 00:36:25 not a local podcast for a long time. That would have been crazy to see. Yeah, just to see your team. Yeah, and then one to 20, oh, I don't know. do it. NFL rankings? Hey, and you know too, yeah. I mean, hey, Raj, we need to TM this shit because when it inevitably happens in two years because you see more advertising and
Starting point is 00:36:49 merchandising rights to be able on a Tuesday night every week have an NFL primetime rankings show. True. Damn, good call. Just like how in college football once November first hit, It's da-da-da-da-da. They do the unveiling every week. You know they want to have rich
Starting point is 00:37:12 Eisen up there fucking talking about that. Pre-season AP poll comes out. Pre-season top five NFL. I mean, people are talking about that. Yeah. An official one. Yeah. Well, the top five came out.
Starting point is 00:37:33 NFL top five came. Everybody's talking about that. They got left out of the top five. The Ravens left. out of the top five. We'll be back in for this. Like, dude. Hey. Hey.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Why aren't they doing it? Like, come on. The NFL AP poll, just Adrian Peterson doing it every week. Every week we got one guy, AP poll. He's just like, uh, they don't even make sense. No, no, it's Adrian Peterson. He just comes out, he just comes out to a stage and he's got the elbow pads on and everything. Just like he just played.
Starting point is 00:38:15 He just raised him. Farvara uniform. No helmet, though. Baldhead. At a podium. Five down to one every week, A.P. I get down with that. I can get down with that, man.
Starting point is 00:38:34 The other Adrian Peterson comes out too, you know. The linebacker, the linebacker or whatever. There's another running back, too. I don't know if you ever. Remember that? I'm thinking of Adrian Wilson who was like, he was on the Cardinals when the Steelers beat him in the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:38:52 I'm like, what position was he? And like, how come he was only like relevant for three years? But I think he was really good. I don't know. He did go on like a little bit of a run next. I should know about Adrian Wilson. But it was like,
Starting point is 00:39:05 he was the most box safety of all time to where everybody was like, he's a linebacker, but he's number 28. Is he an edge rusher? Adrian Mason. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:19 that's coming. That's coming. Yeah, dude, but don't act like when you're tuning in for the herd hierarchy, man. You want to see your team sneak in there at number nine for the herd. Mm-hmm. Doesn't mean anything except for just a little bit of satisfaction for yourself. Just makes that Tuesday a little bit better. Yeah, babe, we're eight in the herd hierarchy. We're eight in Adrian Peterson NFL ranking.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Because how do you feel when your college team is like number one? That's crazy. Or your college team beats like a top-ranked team. Like, dude, that... Mm-hmm. Or when you're a kid and, like, your school does, like, finally gets at, like, 22nd ranking. Coastal Carolina.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Fucking top 25, bitch. I love seeing that in college football. Some weird, random, rare names in the top 25, like 20 to 25 just... What the hell's Wyoming doing in there? Yes. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yes.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Coastal Carolina, cracking 14. I'm like, let's go. Who even knows where that school is? Let's go. Carolina, probably. Never thought about it. Right by Myrtle Beach. Dude doesn't know where Myrtle Beach is.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Thought is in Florida. Talked about you. Thought it was in Alabama. That's golf short. Same thing. Mertile Beach Golf Shores. Here we go. Time to kiss.

See, Jesus is so, Jesus is so head coach that has all the great sound bites. God is the general manager up there pulling the strings. It doesn't really come around a whole lot.

Starting point is 00:45:25 and then he ran the shit. Jesus is just the human embodiment of God. They're technically, you know, he's the son, but he's the human embodiment of him. So Pat Riley was the human embodiment of the president of basketball operations as the head coach. And then he just went upstairs. It's Pat Riley.
Starting point is 00:45:53 It's the same guy. Jesus. J.J. Reddick? Low key. It's Pat Riley. You walk into church? JJ Redick on the wall. Elite socks on?
Starting point is 00:46:13 I'd be like, I'll go to church every single day. Dude, if JJ Reddick was on the wall in church, I wouldn't miss a Sunday, bro. J.J. Reddick didn't wear the elite socks, bro. He was part of that era that had just the ankle socks. No shows. Uh-huh. Nike shocks, too.

Starting point is 00:47:16 when YouTube was first coming around and there's just a highlight of like JJ they're probably playing like fucking Georgia Tech or something Duke Georgia Tech used to be a heater rest in peace Mike Patrick he was the play by play guy on the call and he was just loving it man
Starting point is 00:47:34 And Reddick would, he'd be like, Redick again. Duke's rims. They weren't like great rims where just swished right through. They'd kind of hit the rim a little bit, give a little bit of, but it's still rattle in. Radick, another one. God, Duke, man. So pure basketball college. Such a weird angle, though.
Starting point is 00:47:59 I hate that angle at Cameron Indoor. I hate watching games at Cameron Indoor. You got to understand it. though. But like when you see the big picture you're like it's an old place. I know but still it doesn't change the fact that I'm like, why is my nose is bleeding watch this on TV.
Starting point is 00:48:15 If they got a new stadium though you'd be like, don't like it anymore. I don't want them to get a new stadium. I just don't really care to watch games on TV at Karen Indoor. Basketball hoops hanging from the ceiling. We had St. Maliki? At the woodshed? Huh?
Starting point is 00:48:32 When Zion dunked on that on that hoop hanging from the ceiling I was like maintenance I know a couple nuts went loose when he dunked that like bro that was crazy all alone bro

Starting point is 00:49:09 coach We, K, we should move on. Coach K. Court. We have done enough sacrilegious shit here to cover us for a few years. Sorry, God. Love you. Pat Riley. Love you too. Let's move on.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Pat Riley's God, JJ Reddick, Jesus. Title? First guest. One of our first guest was Pat Riley, bro. We just so scared. Pray to him the whole time. He's like, what is this? Team these guys at gmail.com That's our email. For those of you knew here,
Starting point is 00:49:50 you can go ahead and send an email in whenever you want. Team these guys at gmail.com. Let's go to Colin. High school sports scandals? Says from Monster Mash, did either of you have a big sports scandal throughout your grade school, high school playing careers? Mine was our high school lacrosse team
Starting point is 00:50:10 getting in trouble for stealing Mitch. We were an out-of-town lacrosse tournament at Burbuff, not a local pod since I'm from St. Louis. And we decided it'd be a good idea to go through their lockers and raid the pro shop while left unsupervised. Our coaches found out nine kids were suspended from team activities for a week and put on disciplinary probation, including a captain and several key starters. We played two shitty teams that following week during suspensions. And if we won, just one of the games, we'd make the playoffs for the first time in a few years. We draw both games to miss the playoffs
Starting point is 00:50:43 and the parents were pissed at our coach for disciplinary actions, even though they were completely warranted. Shout out to our team for collectively deciding the best walkout song for 30 white private school kids was 100 black coffins by Rick Ross. Slap my ass with a terrible towel you guys signed for me at Indiana Land.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Thanks, Colin. Oh, Colin. Yes, I remember signing that. That made the Instagram photo done. awesome, man. Wow. Someone bringing me a terrible towel to sign? Can you sign it? What? I was like, I don't even have a signature, but yeah. Whatever you want. What if you need?
Starting point is 00:51:27 Man, that's so funny. So yeah, he's talking about our Buff, our local one, not here on this local pod. So from St. Louis traveled out here to play them. Always are crazy situations. situation. I was thinking about how many times this doesn't have anything to do with the question, obviously, but when you played, like your high school played a team in another state
Starting point is 00:51:50 I was always kind of like, how and why are we doing that? But like, I'm with it, but like why are we playing Bishop Waterson really? Yeah. Who is related to our coach on that staff or the athletic director that got this set up?
Starting point is 00:52:07 And it's like, dude, we can play like a lot of teams really close to or high school and it'd be a good game. It's not like we're like, we need a team to play. Like I understand when Warren Central, when they had like seven NFL players on their team, we're playing teams from like Ohio that were like crushing people. It's like,
Starting point is 00:52:24 it's a little like, trying to step up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like for other schools, just going to Cincinnati to play like, I don't know. We went to Michigan to play Trevor City. I was like,
Starting point is 00:52:35 I don't even think this, like why are we're all getting on the bus? There's a thousand kids on our team. It's kind of a, it makes sense, but maybe I'm tripping. I don't know. Road trip, man. Dripping or tripping.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Road trips in high school. Business trip. If you're on ESPN, I get it though. Yeah. Ben, I know you have to have a couple here for this. Scandals? Yeah. One time somebody stole a pair of like LeBron's when we played at a high school.
Starting point is 00:53:10 We played, uh, we played every time we played cathedral we played at a neutral site so it was just in a random ass stadium and they all had like we were in their locker rooms but we couldn't get in their lockers so we're just like in this locker room doing nothing for 45 minutes before a game really like three hours before a game so of course we're like going through people's lockers and somebody took a pair of LeBron's and they like found out and like we had to like do it like we like just lost and we had to be like, okay, who took to LeBron's, like, after getting B? And everybody was just like, oh, my God, bro.
Starting point is 00:53:47 It was so crazy. Nobody wanted to, like, snitch. It was like, oh, my. That and Michael, Michael Shepard's party, but. Project X, Roncali. For the, with some stroke of luck, I wasn't there. Oh, my God. Everybody else in a whole.
Starting point is 00:54:12 I don't know, bro, I think I actually drop somebody off there. Whoa. Like, you had the discipline to just say no? There's no way. But I did think I was like, this is not a good idea. And I think like maybe my mom was like, there's something going on the next day. And she was like, don't. And I was just, I had that too.
Starting point is 00:54:37 So I was just like, I'm not even going to. But what a relief, dude. Because the next three months was like the biggest investigation in Roncalli history, not a Ron Colley podcast. We didn't go there. So don't know why we would bring it up. We went to Perry. I was homeschooled. I had sex in seventh grade at Perry.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Yeah, we didn't really have any with, not that I can think of with sports. but I feel like this almost rivaled that investigation at the time is when we got on Tosh. Oh, that was so sick. Yeah, I was proud of you, bro. Four different, dude, like four different news stations picked up on the story for some reason
Starting point is 00:55:33 because, so we filmed inside school during a class and then I submitted it and got it uploaded. and like submitted it to the Tosh show. So I'm talking about. And then lo and behold, lo and behold, we were the first and the last,
Starting point is 00:55:52 we tail ended the montage of clips that Tosh did for this segment. And so, yeah, that, you know, of course got around to all the higher ups and powers of B. And so everybody who was on camera
Starting point is 00:56:09 and then my, self. Everybody who's on camera got suspended in school for two days. I got suspended, I think, in school for four days because I was the one who had the camera and who uploaded it. And then you know, word got out about that and kind of like, I don't even know. Like, I don't even know why it was such a big thing. But then like news stations picked up on it around Indy. It's a full of Newsday, huh? Yeah, exactly. I know all like the parents on Facebook who hated me and my friends were all kind of saying that kind of stuff and all the other like classmates of ours who didn't like us were saying that kind of stuff. Even like,
Starting point is 00:56:52 Alums that were like two years older and us were like posting about it and shit. I was like, shut the fuck up, Louis Fagans. Learn how to fuck you. Yeah. How many dirty looks did you get at graduation parties? Oh my God. Those are the touch point out guy. Well, I.
Starting point is 00:57:11 While you're holding a plate of macaroni. Yeah. Holding my kudoba, a catered kudoba plate. It actually came full circle back around because that happened in March of our senior year. Got suspended. The news, all that shit. I thought it was going to be even worse. And then two and a half months later, I ended up giving like the senior graduation speech in front of the whole school.
Starting point is 00:57:37 Big flags, dude. I think that's cool. Like if my son got suspended for four days because he got on Taj Point O for doing something funny, I'd be like, kind of a dub. What's wrong? What's wrong with that?
Starting point is 00:57:54 Like, he's legit funny on TV? What do you mean? That's the thing. I mean, like, not, I was the one, like, I just filmed it and, and uploaded it because I was like, I was kind of looked at as the ringleader of it all,
Starting point is 00:58:08 because I was the one, who followed through with all that stuff. It was just, I got like, I got like four or five of my buddies, my idiot buddies to like, all right, you do it. And like when the bell rings, they're all just going to do this crazy shit. And. But yeah, then everything was all, you know, everything seemingly was like all good because like I said, I gave the senior speech.
Starting point is 00:58:30 So they forgot about it. Quick memory. Memory of goldfish. Quick memory, boys. Your credits as seen on Tudge. 20. I would rock it, dude. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:47 As seen on Channel 8, Wish TV, getting interviewed by Adrian Brodus. Right, right, right, right. Oh, Hollywood did the touch thing. Ah, right. Anyways. I'm sure that's going to be fun in the Discord
Starting point is 00:59:07 and then for other clubhouse members who are going to. Can't wait. I'm looking that up. I'm finding it. I'm finding the clip immediately after this. Discord is it, man. I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:59:20 No, it's the best. It really is. Honestly, when I feel like lonely, when I'm like there's nothing happening, right to Discord. What's Clubhouse talking about? Because I know it's going to be good. It's going to bring a smile to the face for sure.
Starting point is 00:59:34 I think there's some people we know, too, in Discord that they're not going to reveal their true identity. Kind of scary. I know. I kind of low-key think my dad's one of them. Which one is he? Dan Dockich? Coach B's somebody in there, bro.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Posting picks, making jokes. You'd never know. It'll bring a smile to your face. I guarantee you and tell him. Benny and Joy Joy sent you. Dan Dockett sent you. Sentia. Say Jha.
Starting point is 01:00:07 Hey, D, D. A, D, love the show. No. All right. He can always tell how good or bad of a day old double D was having by how long he dragged that out. If he got a couple callers. You got a couple callers, you know. And someone was just like, hey, Dan, first time, God, I love the show.
Starting point is 01:00:29 And he didn't say anything. Whoa, boy. Yeah, you better moving on quick. But if you got on there and it was like, hey, Dan, hey, yeah, love the show. And he hit you with the. Then you're like, oh. Oh, he might be talking to this guy. This guy might be a regular.
Starting point is 01:00:47 He might be talking to him for a while. Just talking about other radio shows on a show that nobody knows about. It's so funny. But it's the same in every town. Yeah, I did it. Exactly. That's what I was joking with. I was joking with my wife.
Starting point is 01:01:13 And she was like, she was like, yeah. She was like, you and Ben might have to like eventually stop talking about just like Ron Collie people that you went to school. I was like, I hear what you're saying. But at the same time, everybody has those people. Everybody who's in the Discord, everybody who listens to this show and your town, you have that radio host. In your town, you have the teacher that used to get away with shit. You all had that shit. And that's why you rock with us.
Starting point is 01:01:45 Everybody's got a dad love. somewhere. Oh shit. Six in the program, one in your heart. It's good. From Three-fourth, the world's covered by water. The other fourth is covered by Dan Loughke.
Starting point is 01:02:01 All right. From Andrew Moore. Andrew. It says Ricky Prol Cardinals jersey. It says short time, first time I grew up in Indy, now live in NWI, not a geography pod. Love the Southside name drops. I find myself having to explain to my coworkers
Starting point is 01:02:19 the street names or events, for example, OLG Fest, not a festival plot. So my story is this. When I was a senior, my girlfriend and I used to spend a lot of time at her house as you do.
Starting point is 01:02:30 Sometimes to have, quote, alone time, we would sit in her driveway in the back of her car. Her neighbor and classmate, who is now the radio voice of the Colts, could be heard on many nights playing basketball in his backyard while doing color commentary by himself. More than a few, times we would notice him sitting on his porch, no lights, as we would exit the car after a makeout
Starting point is 01:02:50 session, not realizing he had been there or how long he had been. My question is this. Did he do play by play of us kissing in her back seat? And what does that sound like? Keep up what you guys do. It makes my Tuesday so much easier, if not for an hour or so. Slop my ass with a Van Gogh Starry night poster I bought at the Southport Meyer for my girlfriend just because which at the time was the most romantic thing I had ever done. sent for my T-Mobile sidekick. Outta boy. Scoring points.
Starting point is 01:03:20 He talking about Métay Colts? Oh, they're talking about Métay. Yeah. Another South Sider. Actual straight dog, bro. Mayte Colts. Yeah. Dude, I remember.

Starting point is 01:11:04 Started at the time it was espresso radio. And to go along with the videos that we did. and that's and then from there I worked at Barstall for two years Benny kept going doing espresso and then I was like yo let's
