THESE GUYS! - 88 DAYS TILL FOOTBALL (summers over) + BEST NAPS + EARLY WIZ KHALIFA

Episode Date: June 2, 2026

"You ever sleep so hard  one of your socks comes off?". Nothing compares to a nap on the couch on the first Sunday of Christmas break, falling asleep to Joe Buck calling a Packers or Vikings game, and waking up with half a sock hanging off your foot. We do Mel's Best Available NAPS, mapping everything from passing out during Channel One in high school to the survival mode hangover nap on a boys trip. We also look back at (not a nostalgic pod) going Buffalo Wild Wings before it became mainstream and the pure magic of discovering Wiz Khalifa for the first time. Plus, we debate the chaos of "shoes on" vs. "shoes off" households, the absolute flex of rolling up to school with new shoes at the END of the year, and the weird sad moment that hits you right at the end of summer.

You're riding the gold corolla going to Sophie's house with Gerbach, you know. Well, who is that for you? Whiz Califa. Me too! Not bad for a fat guy. What up, Clubhouse? It's Benny Politsy and Joey Mulanaro on this week's These Guys. We talk about the best places to take a nap and why is it during Channel 1 in high school.

We talk about your favorite pair of shoes you owned. Do we talk about Wiz Khalifa before he went mainstream? No. Do we talk about your girl hanging out with a three-star QB from your rival high school? No. Do you remember where you were for the first XFL game? We definitely don't. We'll start the show. TG 188 is easy, easy.

Oh my God, is that like how they start for sure, for real? It's scaring ad. TG 188. Better than ever, back in the usual saddles. I think it's been four years since football season. Is this the longest amount of time between football season? ever? I didn't remember the last football game.

The Super Bowl didn't count. That was definitely the last football game, but like, I don't know. Well, right, but like I have no recollection of that game. And it's not because I was four sheets to the wind. Oh, gosh. Oh, geez. Oh, God. Oh, we're heading to the abyss.

Summer months. No football. No football, biss. Just looking forward to vacays and more. A lot of Bishop Dillahan camp And festies Well, I SOS camp, man Hey, hey, what's up?

It's these guys, you know what to do Discord channel, the clubhouse, these guys, L-O-L and Instagram, these guys, L-O-L and YouTube. Give it a follow, give it a subscribe. We're heading to the summer months. You're going to need us here talking about all the things used to do back in the day during summer like going to the O-G Fest, right?

Right, right. Dog days, right, man. Right. Right. Dude. Two days, right? Right. Ooh.

Stationing out about two days. You know what I was thinking of, though? When you sent me a song off there, that really got me thinking about a whole subset of songs and a whole subset of memories is that song that would drop or that you would just discover on like, probably like, May Crown. Like after May crowning mass. May crowning, just a pivotal point in our lives, dude.

How come everything happened around May crowning? And then after that, kind of not. And then after that, that became like the song of the summer. Mm-hmm. Yeah? You're like, oh, man, this is going to be you have pool party visions in your head, all the memories you're going to be making to this song. There's always that one song of the summer, bro.

whether you like it or not. Yep. What was last year? Couldn't tell you. I think song of the... No broke boys, no new friends. That was it. That was it.

You got to sing a little bit better. I'm not sure. If I sing it any better, it'll get hit for copyright. Oh, God. This voice. Copyright cats. No broke boys, no new friends.

That's da-da-da-l-lit-de. Ain't no lie. Ain't no lie. didn't hear that ever wow two different algorithms yep always has been always will be i think the official song of the summertime stopped like you're the year the summer you turn 17 then it stops okay yeah then from that point on it's just even in college even looking back it would just be old songs of the summers that would be brought back in as new songs of the summers What was your final boss song of the summer?

Can you think back to like one summer that was just like that is the song? Ricky Martin, live in Lovita Loca. This guy was born in 1971. Cool by Gwen Stefani rings a bell. I know we're cool. Cuckoo. Oh, yeah. I know we're cool.

I haven't heard that. Two guys talking about songs I don't know. What a show. This is a good show, dude. This is a good show. Hot pod so far. No, I think the one I really remember as being like, oh, wow, I think they made it for this reason.

And I heard it, like, probably on my way to the track. Was that song with Justin Bieber, DJ Khalid, that had like every feature on it? Mm-hmm. I'm the one, yeah. No, I'm the one, yeah. And you're a bunch of beans of a little time. Yeah.

Under one, yeah. Yeah. I hate because they try to make it the song of the summer now, you know? They like, they try to do it. It used to be just like, it just happened like that. It was a natural progression. Now it's like, dude, yeah, push us out. Like spring, it will be the song of the summer.

You know, they're all, I don't know. Just seem a little more, a little more grass roots. All the corporate suits got their hands on the summer. blockbuster and flipped it over to the song of the summer too. Party like a rock star remix? Oh my God. Yeah. Peak song in the summer high school.

One for me, Peaks song of the summer in high school. That one, DJ drama. You're the one girl, you're one guy. I don't know about that jeans. I don't know about that jeans.

See you got the body of our goddess. That's when you and your boys like push to make this summer, you know? Like nobody knows about that. But in your little world, that's a summer, bro. That's getting plays. Turn it on to the pool party. And Sophie's like, what the fuck is this? We need to turn it off.

What is this? My dad's like working from home today. And you're like, oh, okay. That's a banger. You're like, Gerbach, we were just listening to it on the way. In the car. Never mind, dude. Never mind.

we're just eating subway we're just eating subway five dollar foot longs of the song in the car and you're gonna act like it doesn't exist anymore because sophie's here windows down no AC we each got three packs we each got three packs of cookies literally singing together with with wiz califah when it goes oh girl your ass is super thick got a lot we were singing that part and and you're and you're and you're your gold corolla out there waiting for the text that we could come in. No, we didn't, dude. Yeah, we did.

I looked at you and you had chocolate on your tooth while we were singing. I'm not going to forget that. Old chocolate tooth. All right, Sophie, whatever. Go ahead and put the chicks on again, all right? Felix. What's your peak song of the summer? What's your summer song?

God, it was. So it really very nostalgic question. for the comments here because I think of all everything when I was like 14 Sugar Ray when it's over

just want to fly hey yeah but then I got texted you and May you get those butterflies in your stomach listen to that song hit that on August 2nd

start to cry then you get from butterflies in your stomach to a pit in your stomach wow summer went by two quick. Should I ask you out at St. Judefest. Shit.

Hey, should have spent more time with my family. My bad kid. My bad guy. Did I hang out with my friends too much? Not my family. Hey, my dad, like, asked me to go see that movie that one week and I, and I told him no, because I had to go sit around at Burkhart's house. Now I feel bad.

Could have been with my dad spending quality time, but instead I had a cutoff shirt on with a white tank underneath. beat her underneath that you could see under my armpits and I was sweating. What was I thinking? It wasn't even a fun night. Hey, Grandma, Grandpa wanted me to come visit. Don't know if they have another summer in them. Never know if that's going to be the last invite.

And I just blew them off. I just blew them off for an old little, let's see who's at the mall adventure. Uh-huh. Yeah. Grandma and Grandpa asked me to hang out. One last patio, porch convo with grandma and grandpa. Or are you going to go to Dick's sporting goods and try to steal something? My piece of shit?

Am I going to hell? Hey, should I go to Perry? Not local pot. It's not a local pod. Stop asking if it's a local pod. Should I go to Perry next year? Because I'm so bad. Man.

That's a weird. Hey, that's kind of like this whole week. That's kind of been at my headspace. I've been in that headspace. That first week of August going into your junior year of high school headspace when summer's over. I've been in that headspace all week. I'm desperate to get out of it. I got to get out of it. Like what do you mean? What's the feeling? Dude, just like I just am like, I'm just like sad. I've got like guilt. I'm so sad, bro. I'm so sad. Dude. Oh my God. What's happening? I've got guilt. I have like a lack of motivation. I like think everything is wrong with me. I just have like no good feelings. I feel like I, dude, my head is constantly spinning.

Like I can't just, I got to get out of the headspace, man. I'm in this headspace. I got to get out of the headspace. I don't know what to tell you, Rob. I'm doing the same thing. Hey,

now you never get out of it though. You never get out of that. You never get out of that. When you're in those weird funks, you never get out of it. Because then instead of when you're 17, and you're like, did I spend enough time and should I've gone there with my dad to do that?

Then all of a sudden, you're 32 and you're like, I should have just been with my son. My son wanted me to take him on a walk. I was on a weird headspace. I didn't feel like I should have just taken my son and walk. What did you do instead? I don't know. I don't know.

This has just been such a weird blur week. Got to get out of it. Hopefully Florida brings me back. That's a day. It's going to make it worse. anyway. Yeah, now I'm already thinking that. I'm already like, geez, I'm already in this weird spot thinking that Florida was going

to get me through and I'd be excited for it. Now I'm just the whole time just going to be like, that's going to happen when Florida's over. Oh, wow. Time to move. Round and round we go, Jack. Got to move to a new state. Clubhouse is going to be like, hey, man, see a therapist. Maybe.

I don't know. Those guys used to be relatable a little bit, but now, now they're just, weird and sad. It all happened after the Indy 500 and Indianaland party. They just got weird and sad after that. Because they missed their friends and family all the time.

Oh, man. What can you do? Hey, you know what? People don't want, they want real. They were authentic. And I'm going to tell you when I'm feeling like shit, I'm going to give you the truth. because that's what we do here. You want to hear, you want to come here for the truth.

You come here for the truth. Going Florida, I'm going to be sad with Beck. I had such a good time in Indiana. I forgot I lived in L.A. I got back and I was like, this is what this looks. This is what my apartment looks like.

Like I was remembering things. You know, I came back to my apartment. I was like remembering what I was doing a week ago or whatever when I was here. I felt like I was gone for four months. I was like, oh, this is what this smells like. Dude, I was just about to say the smell. I was just about to say, way, when you'd go on a trip

or even it was like you'd be away on a break somewhere, not even spring break, or maybe you spend a couple days with some friends or you're at like a summer baseball tournament. That was really fun. Yeah. Then you'd come back, you're like, wow, forgot this. What my house smelled like.

This is the shit. shit I was on. Like this is what I was doing. Okay. This is what I was doing before I left. I was like, that is a totally different me. Like totally different thing.

Yeah. Oh. Going here, going there. Put that on it. We need to put on a shirt. Put it on a poster. That's a great advertisement for what the Indy 500 weekend is.

I had so much fun in Indy for that week. I forgot what it was like to live in L.A. I forgot my real life. I was like, whoa, took a minute. Hey, before I left, did I go in my childhood bedroom, get on one knee and start crying? No, I didn't do that. Why? Because you saw your poster of Tyrone Wheatley on the wall?

Trell Davis poster in the closet, Sports Illustrated. Double foldout, you know? In the sports illustrated when you got like the two-page foldout in the middle of the magazine. God! It's right there, bro. Hasn't been touched since 96. You should have brought that back and placed it directly over your right shoulder. I know.

But a little bit of me was like, do I even touch it? Like it's been there for so long. I'm like, do I even move it? Dude, what if it would have been like a holy grail type situation where like you touched it? Hey, you touched it. All of a sudden you flash back to 1996 again. You know what? You know what?

dude, next time I go back to Indiana, I'm getting that post. Because what's on the back of that? There's articles on the back of that poster. I got to read them. It's just Peter King telling you how to get back to 1997. See a picture of the Broncos huddle. You're reading this in 2026. Follow, take, grab this poster, get a football in your hand and salute like Terrell Davis.

And that's the magical combination. and you'll go back to 1997 and you'll be you'll be nine years old again. It's all I want. It's all I want. Sounds like we got a new movie idea. Just immediately flashback to me getting yelled at.

And I'm like, ah, never mind, never mind. Go back. Actually. What would you be getting yelled at for? Or a better question, what wouldn't you be getting yelled at for? This guy. I'd probably have dirty feet from playing outside. all day and I didn't wash them off before I got in the house and I was running around the house with

dirty feet having all the time you're just barefooting it out there all the time bro barefoot barefoot bear foot bear foot and the backyard and the concrete a little bit of both geez barefoot in the grass dude playing badminton couldn't play badminton with shoes on always bare feet and the grass I can understand you have a good like suburban backyard pretty solid grass I get. Not too much of a risk of things to step on. But man, concrete, that gravel, you hit the tiniest little pebble right on the ball of your foot. Done.

Yeah. I'd always be cautious on the sidewalk and driveway. Like, you know, just light footed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wasn't going hard like that with bare feet. No way. God, you step on a rock, though? Days over.

Days over, babe. Try it in You were just hosing Like you were just Before you came in You were just You know what actually happened Which is kind of stupid

I'd I'd like I'd like lightly Go upstairs Fill up the bath like this much And like wash my feet in the bathtub Oh Like I can remember like a lot of times

Me and my sister would be like sitting on the like the ledge of the bathtub Like washing her feet before like eating dinner or something my own bed. Wash your feet. So just drag it all inside and then take it up stairs. Kind of a little bit, which is dumb. Big shoes off house, bro. Big shoes off house. Like remember when you'd get screamed at for going in your house with your shoes on?

Like if my dad caught me like, oh, I forgot something. I'm already in the car and I got to go back inside and like grab it real quick. But you don't want to take off your shoes because it's like, bro, they're already on and tied on. tied up and dude if I got caught doing that it would be a long week for me like I'd crawl inside so with my feet with my feet up in the air yeah yeah yeah I gotta get that I'd be like dude my dad my dad was the opposite or the opposite the Moulnard house you you walk in to this day you walk into my parents house it'd be 730 p.m. on a Tuesday night and in June both shoes on.

Oh, man. That is a relaxing. That's kind of like a weight off your shoulders. It's a more easy going household. You're like, oh, okay. So we're just chilling, baby. Like, we're just good. Yeah.

Because I remember when I was like, when you go, not a reminiscent pod, but like when you go over somebody's house for like a sleepover or something and you walked in, the first thing you see is just like a giant pile of shoes. You're like, oh,

okay this is happening I don't even it doesn't cross my mind anymore to be like like I always think of it like 10 minutes after I should I'm like oh should we have our shoes off right but then hey

then that panic sets in because then you look around everybody else has their shoes off except you and you're like wow they were just being polite they thought I'd get the memo and I didn't just happened to me

this past weekend just happened to me I'm I'm close I'm clomping around, dude. Yeah. All over the place. Everybody else has socks on.

Bare feet. Oh my God, I'm so sorry. You didn't take your shoes off? Yeah. No, I thought it was okay. I asked before I got, I thought it was okay. I don't know.

It's never been like, like there's so many, like you said, there's so many people that are so passionate about it as if like wearing shoes on your feet is like having, like bare claw clamps on them and they're just like the most uncomfortable thing ever.

I'm always looking around like, I'm good. It protects my feet. Like, I have attachment issues too with shoes. Like once I take them off, I'm like, guess I live here now. Well, then you just, oh yeah. I don't know.

Then the whole process of like, dude, I can't be at somebody's house like talking to them about like what's going on in life. and we're both just either like barefoot or just white tube socks on. Mismatching socks. Yeah. What's going on?

Right. So how's everything with you? One Nike sock on, one A6 sock on. It's your mom's. Yeah, okay. Huh?

Wow. Dude, and then, hey, when you're leaving, you got to go through that whole process. You know, getting them,

throwing them on. So, just hold of a second. All right. Oh, sorry. What are you guys thinking about your knee gives out? Oh, you're tearing UCL's because you had to kick off your shoes and throw them back on to get before you left.

UCL might be in your elbow. I don't know. I just didn't want to say ACL. UCL. Is that a football league on ESPN right now? Dude, those, those like. All of your favorite college football players who you thought you'd never hear from again all on that team are like sad, dude. It's sad.

I'm like, that guy plays for them. I can't watch this. I hate this so much. Ew. Can't bear to watch a play. The field looks so weird. I'm like, I don't like this. Everything.

Yeah, everything's to any given Sunday. The uniforms, the field, the graphics, the team names. I'm just, like, dude, there's just look. Okay, I know, I know, I know. I know. But there's just one football league, dude. All right? And that, that's all it'll ever be.

Okay. The XFL. Is the X-FEL still thing? I was going to say the SEC, but X-FL is not a thing. Yeah. You know, that first year the X-FL came out, though? Ooh, dude, I remember when we were at,

I was at CYO football practice, and the first X-F-L game was that night. Yeah. Nobody, everybody was talking about it, bro. Like, because that's when wrestling was peak. And it was like, all right. It was like, it was on like a Thursday night. We just had like a hard CIO practice, got home.

Watch the kickoff for the game. It was two guys just running to the 50 yard line for the ball. I was like, oh, ho ho. I was allowed to watch it. At old Soldier Field. Before all this shit, it was just the columns. You're like, are these guys gladiators? Bro, what teams were playing?

What was the first? Was that the, it was like demons or something? It was that he hated. me team or I think they were like the renegades but dude I'll never I'll never forget either because dude I never will forget we my dad has been in this fantasy football league with his high school buddies for quite literally like 30 years all right and at the time where we lived when I was growing up one of his buddies who's in the league lived right across the street from us okay and I'll never forget me, my dad,

and this dude, his name's Chad Oshner. We went to... Chad Ochozenga. This is before he really popped off. Before the gold tooth, he was just living across the street. But no, we went, dude, we went to before even this place had really popped off, before it

become B-dubs and everybody just called it Buffalo Wild Wings. Yeah. And it was like the new wing place. in town. You probably remember exactly the one I'm talking about. Not a local podcast, but it's on,

it was on that hill going upwards when you're on 1.35, like heading downtown. Like right before where that McAllister's is now, I think now it's like a remax or some shit like that, but it used to be a beat-ups, a Buffalo Wild Wings

before they got really like corporate and chain. We went there to go pick up Buffalo Wild Wings and they had like the screens on with the pregame stuff going on. And we went there because we were picking it up to go back home and watch the first XFL game. Oh, I remember thinking, dude, I remember being like this place, whoa, we're getting potato chips. What the hell is that? And it was me, my dad, and Chad Oshner, first XFL game.

But that, that shit sticks with you, man. Where were you before the first XFL game? Hey, the teams that played were the Las Vegas outlaws. They beat the New Jersey Hitman 19 to 0. Tommy Maddox. Dude. Yeah. Ty Maddox is like the best XFL player ever.

That's why he got with the Steelers because of his time in the XFL. Bro. Not a day goes by where I don't think about Tommy Maddox for no reason at all. Not a sports podcast, but same. Should we do Mel's best? apps. Yeah, we should. God, I want to keep talking about Buffalo Wild Wings before it was Buffalo Wild Wings, though.

Man, how good was it? I mean, geez. Like when, like, the restaurant you went to before it became mainstream, you know, like that type of feeling. There's two things like that in life. A restaurant like that before, yeah, they become super corporate and chain and they mess everything up. and then an artist or a band. Yeah. Yeah.

But you can see that, yeah, you feel like you're like one of 13 people listening to this guy's songs. But yes, but even so, it's like, oh, wow,

it's this new, fresh, different thing and it's really good and it's awesome. And then all of a sudden, like, you know, four years later, he's just like popping up

and like Monday night football intros and, you know, fast and furious soundtracks. You're like, man, good for you. Like, you really did it.

You know, you've really made it. I can't blame you, you know, but it'll never be the same as when. Yeah. You're riding the gold corolla going to Sophie's house with Gerbach, you know. Well, who is that for you? Whiz Kalifa. Me too.

Oh, I think we're all thinking that, dog. Oh, it was like 2009, maybe. There's a nine to 2009 to 2011. And yeah. My sister put me on to like a really early ass whizgly for song. And I was like, oh, I kind of like this. Yeah. And then one of my other friends was like, have you heard this?

And I was like, oh, yeah, yeah. It's that guy. Same guy, different song. I can't like, I was like, oh, that's cool. Got like two of this weird guy's name that I still can't spell to this day in my like iTunes library. Was it was a song? Say yeah Say yeah

Clean vacation nap, but there's still always a little bit of sand. Yeah. On the couch. Might not even need a blanket, but you still have one on deck. Maybe it's just around your feet. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Top now. It could kind of be like one of those little like bitch-ass blankets. It's like a throw blanket. It's not a sleep blanket. It's not a sleep blanket. It's a throw blanket. Hey, you're dozing off.

And you kind of, it's just you need something. So you see that? Just grab it off the back of the couch. And then that's the last thing. It just. It really is perfect, though. That type of blanket for a nap. You can't get a full-fledged blanket for it.

No, you don't need a comforter. for a 40 minute knock out on the couch. Because you'll be, you'll sleep for four days if you have a comfort. Right. Like that little blanket like, like, is it going to be enough? And that ends up being more than enough.

You're like, oh my God, I always overestimate it. Yeah. Undermestimated. What's on TV or is anything on TV? I don't really know if anything's on TV. Oh, you know what's on TV like a like a talk show. Like like not a sports talk show.

Come on down to Tom Malibu's Malibu Chevrolet. You fall asleep, you wake up and you're like, did I dream that? Or is that an actual car commercial? He's got prices that even I can't tackle.

Some shit like that. The worst acting of all times. the worst acting of all time. But still kind of gas, though. You're still kind of like, maybe I should buy a car from that. Like, wow, man. They really,

I bet that car dealership was going wild when Levanti David came in for that day to shoot. Oh, yeah. Who is that? It's like, never mind. Yeah, you get autographs and stuff. Dude, you're so hype,

you're getting autographs on stuff that doesn't have anything to do with the bucks. Yeah. Flip over, just a, you know, a pile of papers that you have that you don't need. I don't know. I might need him. Just hear it right there.

Can you sign that out to get personalized and shit? It's not even like has, doesn't have anything to do with like any surrounding area either. It's like your hometown favorite team. He just signs it anyway. You're like, why, why are you having me sign a Milwaukee Bucks hat? You're like, it was, I don't know. It's just the only thing I had in my office.

Picture of your family that's on your like desk at the cardio ship. What the fuck did you have him sign that for? I don't know. I just was scrambling. and he was leaving. Hey, hey, fakeest ass jersey ever. Levant, no, Levanti, he's wearing that because they don't have the rights

to the actual buccaneers shit. So like the, hey, the spacing's all off, like the 54s like down here, sleeves like down to here, you know? It's like a CYO looking jersey. Yeah, like, God, dang. I know Tom Malibu paid a pretty penny to get Levanté David out there.

Says the buccaneers. Yeah, not even their font No, just regular high school block You're like, what the what dude Off red, not even the same red They don't even want to try pewter It just would have been brown You can't do it

Big, yeah, that kind of commercial for sure Or like a movie is on like a weird movie Yeah It's like Joe Dirt National Treasure Dress Park. Bro,

but like, it's one of those movies that, like, I've seen it, I love it. But, and you can't stop

watching it. And you're like, dude, I need to go to sleep. They're going to be back soon. Like, you keep falling into watching the movie. God.

Yeah, you're like, like this commercial break. Oh, you know. But then all of a sudden comes back on and Nick Cage is like going through stealing declaration.

You're like, I got to, I got to lock in with him and Riley here. What a crime it would be for them to come home and you haven't even dozed off yet because you're too. dude. Can't let it happen, dude. Cannot.

Got to at least hit a good 17 minutes straight of nap to feel justified. Yeah, that's a really good one. And I'm jealous because I am going. I am on vacation right now, but I doubt that that will happen. My kids, maybe. But anyways, it's like a 15-year-old. Mel's best available naps. Good one to start there.

I got to take this one off the board. just because it's another thing it doesn't really happen to me anymore. But I say when you have a free day hungover. Oh my God. So you're out at like a Halloween party or just, you know,

you got some beers with the boys or whatever it was the night before. And that next day, you have quite literally nothing to do. There's nothing. No, no, no, get-togethers you got to go to, no errands you have to run. You know, you just have to where you,

just veg on the couch and kind of go in and out of nap just at will. Free rein nap. Free hours. Nothing at stake. Like you don't feel bad about doing it. Your girlfriend or your wife isn't on you about doing it. Your parents aren't on you about any. Like it just you're all on the same page.

Maybe you order some DoorDash and like, you know, that's the half time of it or whatever. But just not having anything that you got to be. be up for you got to get ready for you got to do you got to be on with the kids you got just laying there in the couch with a big old comfy blanket probably a hoodie on just chilling that's a comforter type of nap right there yep you're like I want to be put down nobody's even calling you might not even have you're not even in a relationship dude like maybe you get a text from like one of your parents like randomly but like but it's not like where are you dinners but you We have dinner or anything like that, you know?

You know, it'd be for me, it'd just be a sub-be. It'd be that text. Not doing anything, dog. Nothing. On the couch. Just, oh, yeah. Consensus. It's like two of your boys.

That's a college nap right there. Because you know the night before. You know the night before. That's what makes you have even more fun, honestly. It's because you're like, what do I care? I don't have to be up for anything. What's on TV? The first two things that came to mind, one was like just a full slate of football.

Oh, yeah, that's happened so many times where it's a football Sunday after that and you're just like. Yeah. But number two, if not, it'd be similar to your situation. Like, I would just be Shawshank Redemption on AMC. sleeping forever to that Yeah Some free day Free day after a night out

Some golf Or like a 10th like U.S. Open Yeah maybe a NASCAR race Oh my God Just like who even It's still Uh huh Then all of a sudden

Your boys like dude Should we go to this Mexican restaurant tonight. I think these girls are going. That's exactly what I needed. And you're like, oh, here we go again, bro. Here we go again. Guess so.

Here we go again. Same exact thing. Wait, we. So we get like margs? And you're like, oh my God. All of a sudden you have a corona upside down and a drink in front of you. And you're like, how do we get here? Hey, but then it starts creeping in because you're like, damn, I do have shit

to do tomorrow. Tomorrow we kind of ruined my free day here. Tomorrow we do have shit to do. And then you do it again, you have the whole, you try to have it again, the whole like, I'm not going to do anything to that. But it's Monday. So you're like, I feel so guilty.

What am I doing? Yeah. Just delaying my life. Oh my God. A piece of shit mode. Oh my God. Delaying my life. Oh, what a horrible feeling, dude.

delay my life For what? Just for a couple Just for chips and salsa Mm-hmm Yeah All right Taking this off the board

It's a good one Might be quick But it's a memorable one Channel one after lunch nap Oh Dang it God Dang it

you're you're so out you wake up and you're like you kind of almost read where you are dude think you might be in a dream a little bit you have to kind of whoa hey sense his awareness knocked out drool you just wanted to forget you just wanted to forget that you had that you had math necks in football practice in two hours you just wanted you just wanted to die for a minute just kill me kill me holy shit I can't do this face never looked more messed up

imprint of your book bag red face drool coming down hey I do remember that a lot like walking the halls of high school with just woke up face

like maybe like two times a day yeah you get a morning and afternooner looking like crap. Yeah. You have an off period, you know,

kind of a bullshit period and third period Zonk went out there like 920. Religion. Linebacker's coach as a teacher. Good night. I will be farting

in the back of this class for 17 minutes and sleeping for 40. just absolutely just it's my turn gone back left corner not a word

didn't listen to a word bro and it's not enough either you wake up in your eye I could I get sleep for two more days two more days but then that's where you get through the next few, you know, you eat lunch. So then your body, you've got that.

It's like, that hits more than post- Thanksgiving meal. What do they call that? What's that the dope? What's that energy that releases, the chemical that releases in your body after you eat and your body is like digesting it? Crypto fan or something. That works for me. Whenever that releases on Thanksgiving, it's more so after a school lunch and you got like

two more periods left, you know? You get that. You get a little afternoon nap. Country fried steak nap. Mm-hmm. Turkey man had a nap. Dude, when you get that perfect setup too, like when you get the book bag just right comfy,

or you get a good book set up with arm? Yeah, man. This top tier sleeping position on a desk in school. And you also, you kind of, you're on edge a little bit for the first few minutes that you knock out because you're waiting for the teacher someone to hey you know go you can't be doing that but then once that first few minutes goes by and you're like I think I'm getting away with this the wave is gone trouble wave out the window

see ya drool on your book uh-huh pencil keeps falling likes you up a couple times hit one of these hit one of these wait wait oh oh the big time flinch oh dude huge flinch dude huge flinch dude Huge major flinch. Happened to me every time, bro. Hey, but how come nobody ever saw it? I'd be like, I don't know. I think they did, dude. I'd look up and everything.

You know, Jessica would be next door. Sorry? Face down. Back to rip an ass. Right back to it. Sorry, I just blocked somebody shot in a JV game in my dream. My bad. Right back to sleep.

It literally smells like shit. It smells like crap back here. Yeah, I just had double nacho bar and chicken fries. What do you think? Got a chicken sandwich in my cargo pocket right now. Damn, I'm so mad you got the end school one. Shit. Crazy.

Quick, but effective. Quick but effective. All right. This is top of mind for me, obviously. Mel's best available naps. Let's say in a car on a road trip. Great pick, man. Cars?

Wow. I don't know. I can sleep for two days. I get in a car. Tired. Just get yourself, again, you get yourself the right setup. Maybe it's a road trip,

so maybe you have a pillow. You have a hometown pillow, home field pillow that's with you. So you're feeling good, backed up against the window, cruising out of solid 78, 80 miles an hour. I could never really get comfortable in a car. But it'd always be like 24 minutes.

out of time. Long road trip. Yeah. We're talking like you're going to Florida. Yeah. I'd always be the guy that'd be like, y'all be your co-pilot so I can sit up front. I'll be like, you know, talking with you,

picking songs. 17 minutes into the trip. Yep. Eyes. Gone, bro. Heavy. And it works double here. Yep, just a little bit.

Not even too much, but like just enough. taking the load off that's the move that gets you from like you're kind of upright you can't get comfy go ahead man knock it back when the guy driving is like just go to sleep gives you the okay sergeant's sleepy pants

go ahead but you're also it works doubly because you're being productive too because you're sleeping which is nice but also you're killing time on the road trip you ever go to sleep and like bum fuck Kentucky and all of a sudden you wake up you're like what's going on you're like yeah we're just crossing to Alabama

I just killed a whole state whole state but you hear people laughing in the car you're like you sound some good jokes and stuff am I just sleep guy now like am I setting the tone for this trip as like sleep guy like I'm not gonna be funny like I'm just gonna be

yeah you hear a big laugh you're like damn I miss that your sleep guy And then for the rest of the trip, they're all talking about like, dude, hey, that car in Nashville. Like, I miss Nashville. What is the, what happened in the car in Nashville? Dude, if you would have been awake on the way here, bro, the whole trip. You hear that like four times.

Oh, my God. Yeah, they don't have as much fun the entire trip as that four hours that you're on and off of sleep. Lokey, the best part of the trip on the way there. We pulled up next to this car and Andy. Andy showed that car his ass, dude. The dad flipped us off. Never forget his face, bro. Never forget his face.

You're like, okay. You were asleep, you were asleep. But we stopped for gas and went in this gas station. Oh, my God. They show you. Like, some of the things you have, you're like, all blue start. I didn't even know.

they had blue starburst, blue sour starburst? What the hell is going on here? You should see what we stole. What? Oh my God. Yeah, these glasses, three shot glasses that say Kentucky basketball on them. That's a your friend thing, man. I didn't do that shit.

So we get out there. Stealing from gas stations, that's just like part of the game. Bro, we saw John Cala Perry pumping gas. All right. Now I'm bummed about my road trip nap. That's so a good one though. Just ruining all this. Go ahead.

Yeah. Ooh, okay, okay. Okay. All right, quick but effective. In between two a days. It isn't like, I mean, you still got to, you have that looming over your head, but it's a defensive practice.

Got the hard part. out of the way in the morning offense. Put the work in. You got like a solid five hours to just die. Make some turkey sandwiches. Shut up. Some light. Your pads are hanging on your locker.

Lights are all out. You know what you got to do. You know your job. Just die for three hours. And everybody's like baby in you. The coaches, your parents. your parents. Hey, feet up.

Push fluids. Don't feel guilty. Yep. Take care of your body. This is the Super Bowl of naps. Everybody in the world wants you to go to sleep right now. Yep. It's all up to you, baby.

Get comfy. Knock out. You need it. You need it. You got to have a, you got to work the schedule because you got to have a little bit like you're laying down, you're eating your lunch. You throw on,

whatever movie, comfort movie or whatever it is that you need to get your mind right. You have your lunch. Then you, then that's, you need a little grace period to kind of lay down and not be asleep. But then you need to just knock out for like two hours, hard, hard sleep. But then you need a little grace period of waking up so you can like get your body right, your mind right. You can't, you know, you can't wake up, alarm going off, get your shit, roll out of bed and then get in the car and head to two of it. That would just totally mess you up. You need like an hour to like mentally prepare.

Mentally wrap your head around it. Yeah, exactly. Maybe start stretching the groin a little bit. Groin's real tight. Tight as it's ever been. You're kind of like, am I going to have to sit out? I don't know,

coach. Is just, am I going to have to tell Samba about this? My groin gets any tighter. Like, we're talking about missing three weeks. A shambot no bite dish. Pogue your head in the training room.

Shambon no about this. Am I going to have to get in the hot tub? Heat this thing up real quick. Oh, God, that sounds, I might do that tonight, honestly. Some icy hot. Find a heating pad or something. Heating pad, hot pad on your groin before I go out to blackness. Yeah, go on the hamstring, go in the groin, go in the lower back.

Sounds good. Hot pad. I forgot about hot pad life. All right. I like it. My last one. I'm back and forth. Sorry.

I was going to say what's on TV, but it's okay. It's okay. I'd always throw a movie on. I needed like something again that I like knew, but I could be in and out of. Maybe some of a little motivation, a little rocky.

That's insane. That's a different level. A little rocky little gladiating. something that was like or something that would just now what I would do is in the middle I would do something like that and then at night I would totally it would be you know Billy Madison oh my god after two days is the best feeling like we gotta do it in like at 7 a.m. But like it's kind of a party like mom made chili. I made chili I got Billy Madison on and then afterwards I'm falling asleep to family guy couldn't be happier. So like what did you do tonight? you're hoping she didn't do anything too

yeah yeah yeah we were like I just like stayed in like it was my sister's birthday so we just like celebrated it here you're like thank God she didn't like go somewhere meanwhile meanwhile she's at center grope kids house they're too much friends you're like shit doesn't he have two days too wow I guess I should have just gone out and I'd been a bitch

Yeah, he definitely has two days Yeah He's a quarterback though So he doesn't really have two days You know Yeah he's just like Watching film for one of them Taking it easy for the other one

He's got an offer from Georgia Tech You're like Dude don't talk about Jordan Lleland Like that Oh shit was that him Yeah that's him Jordan Lle Allen that's so him

they like him you can throw deep and he can run a wingtie George Lou Allen oh it's so four star dude yeah you're

yeah the whole time you're like thinking you don't trust her at all dude you're like okay yeah last two weeks of summer and you're just staying in not doing anything my ass

sister's birthday I'm over here watching Billy Madison for the 900th time just trying to shoot my gosh just contemplating life just like what am I even I don't even live in the real world anymore I don't even know what's going on on the outside

we're always just doing the most normal stuff like why is everybody else doing something crazy like you're at a party I'm watching big 10 network Michigan State football replays I'm watching Illinois football the journey Hey, Juice Williams here, though.

No, it was like two years after or something. It's not even a good Illinois team. You're just like, whatever. It's just a bunch of white guys. You're like, man, I'm not even good enough to get an offer there. Why have they even doing this? Girl, I'm playing for it doesn't even like me. And Illinois is not offering.

Cool. Worst team in the Big Ten and they have no idea I exist. but still playing football. All right, last one for me. I'm back and forth here, but I think I've landed on, I'm going to call it half time here. Kind of similar to yours,

but the post-day drink pre-night going out. Sorry, I'm looking at Jordan Low Island's Instagram. post day drink pre going out same night post day drink pre go oh my god that's a good nap so we're talking you know bachelor party boys trip I guess it could be vacation and a certain extent

but not no I'm talking like I don't know does this step on your toes of yours the vacation because I was thinking more of like a bachelor trip No, my vacation nap is like when you're you're like younger. Okay. This is like midday like rally cups. Right. And it's that time of day where everybody's kind of on their own schedule.

So it's up to you of like, hey man, do I want to go strategize at this halftime more, have more drinks, stay up, listen to more music. Or do I want to kind of go at the trainer's room and kind of get my body going for the second half? Yeah. So it's like, I don't do it often because the downfall of this one, so that's my last pick. Downfall of this one is you get into your bed on that room and your room or whatever on that trip and all of a sudden, like, you're just, that nap is hitting different and you can't get out of bed.

Then all of a sudden you're dragging ass. There's the risk of that, you know? Yeah, like I don't want to do anything. I don't think it's a good idea. I'm staying. People are like, yeah, people are like, do I don't know. You hear rumblings out there. like Joey might not even go.

Like, give his ass up. Joe, he's like saying he's not going. Your friends are like begging you. You're just. Right. Yeah. Not in the cars, boys. So there is the risk of that. But also it's great because on the other end, it's like if you do hit it for like 30 minutes,

get a quick good one, then you get that shower. And all of a sudden you feel like a brand new dude. And you're like, wow, we had fun today. And now the party's starting again. It's perfect. Mm-hmm. You're in the shower, one of your friends. A beer.

You're like, oh my God, here we go again, dog. Like, yep, part two. I knew you weren't saying no. I knew you were fucking saying no, bitch. I know you weren't saying no. All right. Lock in. That's an up till 4 a.m. night.

That's a I heard the birds and had to go to sleep night. That might be, but it's typically like last night or like second to last night. Whenever the night's like, hey, we're going. You're like, shit, I really do. I do have today. Because maybe the first night, first real night, that's where you just power through. You have evening drinks, afternoon drinks. And you're like, yeah, we'll go.

You just go through it. But then that second or third, you're like, all right, I really got to. Show time. I got to kick the feet up. I got to get a cold shower in me. You got to really put it together. Preparation, man. You got any honorable mentions?

I do I do I do 4.30 p.m. quick nap like after school and you wake up at 8 p.m.

and think you miss school the next day nap. You ever do that? Like you go to sleep when it's like kind of evening time wake up, it's dark.

And like for some reason no one's home because they just let you sleep and you're like, oh my God, am I late for school the next day? Like you're like, you have no concept of time.

It's a crazy nap. It's like twice in my life. It's like wintertime. So you look at the clock on the oven and it says like 622 and you're like, is it a? Oh!

Oh! Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wee, we, we. And you're like, Mom! She's not even home, bro. Where is everybody? Kind of fever dream.

Always, yeah, winter, January when you're sick, have been having a fever. Shkonan. Did they just, did they know I was sick and they just let me sleep the whole time? And you're like, oh, I was only to sleep for like an hour. Oh, I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. Okay. Yeah.

no some days he'd walk in there and being like a little bit better of a mood and she'd be like oh all right cool but then it could on a dime turn and then all of a sudden it's like then you're just like on the shit list yeah

and like he's one of those that like sometimes he would talk to the producer a lot he would talk to the board operator a lot so you'd start to feel like yeah like I think I can respond back and one time he like kept doing that and then finally I responded I guess like one too many times and so like across the way

he just goes I can see him doing that baldhead dude yeah I was kind of baggy IU shirt or something yeah I was like oh uh all right I'll shut up but you just never knew you had to be so like spotty where you picked you know and then there's a few times that's where i like i get my rants from is there's a few times where i would either be like a runner for his show or like at the combine and now it's supposed to

be like go try to track down guests to come on and and talk with them or i would actually produce his show and he would just like straight up on the air just start ripping you like if he didn't like something and so i remember yeah one time i was running for a show at the combine and i was like 21 22 because i was just like wanted to be involved however i could so dan was like hey can you go see if someone can come on the show i forget who it was or not even him like his producer was texting me this and i had been around i'd been around and i hadn't seen him and so i was like trying to think that i was like thinking innovatively and i like tried to tweet at the guest because I was like,

So I was like, I might as well try this way. And it just so happened that he looked and saw on Twitter. Then another time, I was trying to get him to go to break and he got really pissed and he started calling me out again on air. And I literally took my headphones off

But then we came back around again when I started doing impressions and people started like actually you got to get Dan's respect you know he didn't respect to me as some schmuck pushing buds over there so once he saw that people like you know actually liked stuff that I did that he was like cool

Like, this is kind of a guy show, but maybe not. And it's just like, it always kind of hits. And even when I'm by myself sometimes, I'm like, shark tank's on for 30 episodes in a row. Or this is Shark Tank Marathon? Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, walking down the hallway. Yeah, dude.

Honestly, I don't know, no chance you've ever heard of this show. Just very recently, the nanny? I've heard of that, I think. I saw him like prime, but it ran for like six years in the 90s. And Rye just threw it on the other day. Fran Dresher, just something so comforting about a sitcom,

dude. Just like an old school, classic, you know the fake piece, the set pieces are fake. You know there's a live audience. They chime in the laughter. Like,

you know, you know how the rhythm of the show is going to go. Mm-hmm. There's just something. so comforting about that. Yeah. This is more like comfort shows, I guess, not guilty pleasure.

As a kid, I was like, does that actually happen? Dude, that's so funny. Like, if there's a sitcom like based on my life, you would 100% be the guy who just like walks in. God, I'd love to be that guy. That's probably why I'm the way I am from sitcoms. You want to be the walking guy. Yeah.

Yeah, the guy who walks in and just has an idea or like a thing and should we go? And then the whole conversation starts. You want to be a Kramer? The audience gets the good reaction when the walking guy comes in. Just nothing like it, man. You know, my wife's kind of like. Yeah. Don't hang.

Very fun shoe. Oh, yeah. This shoe is you, dude. This is the first shoe I think of when I think of you. Huge complimented. It means the world to me. Wow. Very light, very summer shoe.

Reminds me of good times. Spring break. Spring break shoe. Near the end of the school year, these dropped. It was like around the time like the Nike shocks Vince Carter dropped. Like Nike was popping. I mean, they always are. But at this point in time, I was like, oh my God.

This is the craziest like time for shoes. Nike Prestos came out My family is obsessed with them Because like I don't know My sister really wanted them I don't know There were kind of a lot of money We weren't spending money on shoes like that

Come to school There's like three weeks of school left Bro David Higgins Just has them on I see him walking on the side of art class And he has the new Prestos on neon navy And I'm like you got new School

You got new shoes At the end of the school year? Yeah. Yeah. Like, you get summer shoes? Uh-huh. Bro, and he's just like, yeah, I was like, I just

couldn't wrap my head around. And the fact that he had, I was like, oh my God, like the amount of grass I'd have to cut to even think about going to the mall and getting those shoes. Summer shoes were such a foreign idea to me growing up. Like, you might get some new school shoes.

You might get some shoes for Christmas. weirdly and you get like sports shoes but it's really just one pair of shoes a year and bro got them with three weeks left like on some on some whatever he's having a party

yeah he's shown off oh my god luckily we went to like the outlet mall or something and they had like some they had Nike pressos there that were like 50 bucks somehow like they must have like come out with a new town color way color way

wasn't hidden so they discounted but it's perfect for you because you like that crazy shit. I didn't care. Yeah. Oh my God. We would play. Me and Chiller would wear them at the same time and play football in the backyard. And I'm like we had special powers.

I'd be like, dude, you wear my sister's pressos? I'll wear mine. We'll be like way faster. It does look like a fast shoe. Oh my God. In the backyard too, running routes. Yeah. Yeah, dude.

It looks like a Larry Fitzgerald's shoe. And we'd like, we'd like challenge some kids. to play like a two-hand touch in the neighborhood or something and we both have Prestos on we like bro, it's kick their ass it looks like so fast that's what it is. Looks like

an Arizona Cardinals Pat Pete shoe. He was so crazy on the Cardinals. P squared? Returning kicks? My favorite all-time the LeBron threes. Got to look them up.

Navy blue and white. Navy blue and white. color way. Oh, those are sick. God, those are like first couple LeBron's. I was in sixth grade. It was like absolute peak of the start

of LeBron's powers. Sixth grade was loving playing basketball. My team, my like spring team, I wasn't even say it was an AAU team because we, you know, but like after CIO, the league that I'd play in, our team colors were navy and red.

because of yeah yeah didn't go I was just like I was just like god dang those were hit so hard

like those I felt like they would give me superpowers I begged and I begged I can't remember what happened if I came into some like yeah chore money

or what but like my parents came through and I was able to get them how crazy that you were able to cop those and like your size

I feel like that just doesn't happen today like if a sick shoe drop Like you're just not getting it. Yeah. But you used to go to the mall and be like, can I have a size, what, 12, 11? Yeah, yeah, hold on. We'll see if we have it back there.

And they do. You're like, what? Yeah, man. I did. I felt like he gave me superpowers. Like, I couldn't wait to put those on to play hoops in. And then once basketball season was over and I've worn them in a lot because of playing in them, then they worked out really well.

I was like, they're a good casual shoe too. It was like the perfect time in your life. you know, 12 to like 15 or whatever where like you could wear like cargo khaki shorts and like a polo shirt and also throw on just some like fucking LeBron shoes. Uh-huh.

And they were kind of clean still too because he just Yeah, they came out from. They were touched outside. Right, right. Yeah. And then like they were just in a cinch bag, dude. Did they work? Then they worked well with pants too. So then even during the school year,

not that matters where we went, but like you had the pants that you had to wear. And I was like, they look good. my pants. That was a fire look. Yeah. School pants,

but with like some basketball shoes, pants cuffing the ankle a little bit. Good look, bro. LeBron one, two, three, and four were,

oh my God. Uh-huh. What was that one that took over everybody's life when we were in like high school or college? Was it the eight? I think it was the eight. South Beach.

The South Beach, dude. LeVron's South Beach. Talk about peak of dudes wearing Swag era. Dudes wearing crazy ass socks with a South Beach color way and then just like khaki shorts.

You're like, what? You're at Ball State right now. There's just some shoes you never forget. LeBron's South Beach. Oh, South Beach 8. Like, what are you going to wear those with?

I don't know, but they're the most legendary. What the hell? are you going to wear those with? The kind of shoe that your mom at the time, now your girlfriend or wife would be like, I mean, why? Like, what can you wear with that?

And all you can come up with and our guy brain, guys like cool stuff. Guys like cool stuff. Like, just understand it. Like, I don't know. I'm not thinking, like, you know. I'm not thinking of my colorway fit that I'm going to wear it.

But, like, you mean to tell me that those won't look sick? Answer, I get everything. time? No. You're like trying too hard. You like can't. Those look stupid on your, hey, those look stupid on your legs. And they do, bro. They do look so bad and you have nothing to wear them with. But you're like,

yo, I just have them though. You know, you just you can't wear them anywhere. You can't even wear them to a party. No. No. They're available down in Stock X. If you want to fire them up. Yeah, peak shoe.

All right, let's do a couple more. Then I got to get out of here. Favorite running back or wide receiver that didn't play for your favorite team? So many. Oh, I mean, they're running back, Eddie George. God, it's almost like the guy that you like kind of hated. You know, like I kind of hated Eddie George, but like I loved him so much too. Oh, man.

Because like he was always playing the Steelers, beating the Steelers, playing the Colts, beat Nicole's went to Ohio State. I was just, well, yeah, it's tough for you. But like,

you're just at that age when you're so young that again, it's like how all these kids love Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase and, you know,

PCA and everybody's like, it doesn't matter if you're a fan, they're just cool. They're your guy. Like you're like your idol, you know. Eddie George for sure. Wide receiver,

huh? I feel like I had a random wide receiver jersey, probably in like, six or seventh grade that's just not coming to me. I can't think. Who did I hate? Hate, hate because they weren't like on my squad, but like I liked them as a player.

You know, you're just going to go. That guy's so good. Every week. I think it was for running back for me. I think it was Terrell Davis. Mm-hmm. Because I was just like, bro. Oh my God.

Uh-huh. Every week. I'm like, does he just get too? Oh, dude, I hated Shannon Sharp too. because he would be tearing my team's up. Hey. Yep. Talking.

Loki. Loki Ray Lewis too. Oh, yeah. Just like you're never going to get that guy on the team you like. He's just always a guy that's going to be like on another team. And he was so good. Like wouldn't it feel so good for your team to have an unstoppable linebacker?

Like I almost felt that. that way, like, when the Colts had, like, Shaq Leonard. I was like, bro, we almost got one. Yeah. That, like, like, just a captain, leader of the defense, you know you're in good hands on D because that guy's out there. Like, it's just never going to happen in my lifetime. Like a Ray Lewis, though, I'm like, imagine being a Ravens fan.

And you just know Ray Lewis is out there just rallying your boys. Like, what a great feeling. I mean, I guess it's with you and the Steelers. I always have, like, three guys. but Rayless is so defense. No, I hear you. Yeah. Man, receiver.

I mean, I, I mean, basic, but if I had to say, I probably Randy Moss, just like Vikings, Randy Moss was just so sick. But I never had like a jersey or anything. I had an Eddie George jersey. I still do. And that was like my, my player, like my dude. But I don't know. For some reason to receive it.

But, yeah, maybe Randy. White Moss jersey. See somebody at the. with a white jersey on. You're like, oh, hey,

just pizza huts stains all over. Yeah, oh yeah, you can see that the shirt that they're wearing underneath it,

you can see through it. Says Ron Kali Walkathon on the front. You're like, didn't go there though. So why we got that? He got that for Christmas? Sure.

Does I say Center Grove football camp 2004 on it? This guy's south side through and through. Does I say Lou Allen on the back? Ha ha ha. So dual threat So dual threat

So dual threat of you All right couple quick ones If we got any Sorry I just think about LeBron Eight South Beach shoes with a witness shirt I'll have that next month when I see him Dude witness shirts Oh shit
