Every girl who likes Ben, heels get taller every year and the tears get longer. I get shorter. I get balder. Heels get taller, I get balder. That's my slogan, dude. Not bad for a fat guy. For the big entire sports center, daddy's on air. TG 167.

For the big old tire sports center, it's my baby. It's like what they do every time. they start a podcast, they just say random things. Yeah, so what of it, babe? And he had to wear the Ravens jersey today, didn't he? Hey, did they choke in the last three seconds? It's likely. Likely.

Oh, God. Jesus. Not a sports podcast. Hey, how many Iron Cities did Molinar have? Likely 80. What's an Iron City, dude? That's the beer. It sounds like the most fire mixed drink ever, dude.

Dude, you theme a mixed drink after like a team or something. I'll drink a billion of them. Oh, my God. It's the beer. It's the Steelers beer out there in Pittsburgh. You want another San Antonio Holmes? Yeah, I'll take 85, dude. You should make mixed drinks of Steelers players.

That'd be so sick. Yeah, I just, I whipped up a Tommy Maddox in here for it. Oh, my God. I was going to say that, brother. There's just nothing that hits harder than the Black Home Steelers Reebok NFL pick. Look at that. God,

dang. Hey, something about gray underneath, too. Yeah. There's something. Dude, if I saw you in a target, I'd be like,

dude. Yeah, man. It's just the guy in me would come out. Yeah, it's speaking to the mixed drinks right there.

Hey, the J. Peasy? Hey, yeah, I whipped you up a Peasy. You kidding me? Every time you take a sip,

you got to do that kick. Just yell. You got to roll up your shirt. Bark. What's up? Just had two Joey Porter's. Honey, put your shirt down. Put your shirt down.

A peasy, that would be sick. He does. He has a tailgate. I was almost going to go to it. He has a tailgate every home game right outside the stadium. You have to pay, obviously, to get in. You can't just walk on up. But I was thinking about it.

I had some other options. I had some people that I wanted to see. It went in solemn. And it was frigid out. So it hopped in the casino for a little bit to see Donnie football. But I was thinking about pulling the trigger for me and my buddy who went out there to go by Peezy's tailgate, but I didn't. So I'd be scared. Maybe if I go to a playoff game or next year or something.

I don't know. But yeah, we're feeling good. We're feeling good, Pellissy. I swear I probably got, I told my dad this. I think I got more texts about that game than I did when either of my kids were born. No, I'm not. I'm retiring the minute. I'm retiring.

Shut up, dude. People, people, and I don't have anything. I'm joyful. Yeah, talk about to be happy for a minute. A happy Mollinard minute. It feels good. I don't got to rant about anything. Aaron Rogers played an all-time game.

I got to witness it. And that's what being a fan is all about. Yes, you've been with me on this ride. And there's people who said, hey, every time the Joey talks about the Steelers, I just fast forward. Maybe this time when it's a happy one, maybe you won't.

Because I don't have to get worked up. I don't have to yell. because I can realize that what that was this weekend is the epitome of being a fan. Yes, you're frustrated throughout the year. Yes, it sucks sometimes. But you keep riding with them. You keep believing in them. And who cares if they get bounced against Houston?

Who cares if it's down another run? All I'm thinking about is how much of a magical memory that was to be there on Sunday night for that environment, for that experience, to see them win in that fashion. Unbelievable. They're going to get beat next week. And then it'll be regularly scheduled programming. But I swear, more text messages than when either of my kids were born, DMs, the most amount of DMs I've ever gotten from Clubhouse,

from just random people. Logan DM'd me. I haven't gotten back to him. Your roommate DM'd me. He was talking about it when we were watching. He's like, bro, Joey tomorrow. I was like, that's crazy. That's all I think about every Sunday.

I'm like, is Joe going to be mad tomorrow or not? I'm working on it, you know? I'm working on it for everybody's sake. But, yeah, it's just part of it, man. It's part of being a fan. That's part of having a passion, right? It's feeling that way. So it was unbelievable.

Thanks for everybody who was, you know, checking in on me and riding it out. Man, met Jack. I got to see Jack Collinsworth before the game. He was on the field doing Sunday night football pregame. What's up? I make fun of your dad. every chance I get. Oh, no, he knows, like, he knows all about me.

We followed each other and we've always tried to link up in various places. And then finally, I was like, oh, he's right there. So I just went over there, just yelled at him. And he looked over. Slide in with him. Wanted to. But, yeah, I, next on my list is to get you out there with me for a game. Draft.

I've taken, oh, well, yes, I think I'm going to go regardless. but still not the same as a game. These guys live, Pittsburgh, draft, what? Probably won't even see you. We both got the draft in Pittsburgh. Don't even cross paths. I've taken the best man of my wedding, who's a clubhouse member,

and I took a homeboy who got me the Aaron Rogers jersey for my birthday. And I love sharing that experience with people who don't typically know about it. It's not how they grew up. Like, it's awesome. So I got to get you out there for a game next year or something.

But it has to be one of those games. It's like, it can't be in September or even October. Like, we need to go December, January, dark at 4 p.m., bundled up, cold as shit. Mm-hmm. Only way to do it. Muddy shoes. Muddy shoes game? God, just ruin them.

Forget it. See ya. Layers of team games. year. That's all I want. I'm just going to dress like an assistant coach. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I got two pairs of gloves for Christmas. Sick hat. I got two pairs of gloves for Christmas. And I really underestimate me. Like, I was excited when I got and I was like, oh, cool. Yeah. Like, this is one of those useful gifts. You know what I mean? Need. But I tell you what, I didn't really tap into how useful it was until I was out there in Pittsburgh and it was like 17 degrees. And I had my new ones. I can't even function when my hands are.

cold. You got to do this thing. I figured it out. It's a little trick. You got to put like doctors plastic gloves under real gloves. That just makes it extra warm? Insane. Insulated. Yep. Your hands start, we'll start sweat, pruny hands by the end of the day. Do that to your feet too, little plastic bags inside your socks. Oh, I feel like that would be so uncomfortable. Yeah, but who, dude, warm is warm. Can never be too warm, man. I took, uh, I didn't wear my coat or gloves during the game in solidarity with the players. Wow. You put the Vaseline on, cut off shirt.

Not that bad. Clogging the pores? That'd be so sick. Hey, that's what we do. That's what we do. If we go to the game in January next year, we go to a Steelers game. No shirts. No shirts.

Don't care. It crossed my mind, maybe, you know, had a little bit of a liquor coat. Oh, God. So, um, was, was feeling good on that. But, uh, yeah, I was like, I just found myself. I was like, I can't do this. I don't need gloves on. I don't want my coat on.

Like, just give me my new T.J. Watt jersey that I just bought. I want that out. Um, hey, they're cold. I'm cold, baby. Let's, let's go. Here we go, Steelers. Baggy pants.

How'd that, how'd that work out? Yeah, baggy pants was fine. Yeah. I'm still trying to figure out like the shoe situation with that. Can't really wear low cut shoes with baggy pants. Got to be high tops. Looks so weird. Yeah.

Low-cut shoes and jeans kind of always looks weird. Unless you're like on a beach. If you get the ones that were in style, I guess pretty long ago, but not that long ago. More the straight fit, not skinny, but they're kind of pretty straight. And like, they just go right into the shoe essentially. I was with that for a, but yeah. But now you got the boot cut, the baggy cut.

Can't do it with the low shoes. How about when he walked? into like Gap or old Navy when you're a kid and there are so many different cuts of jeans. I was like, how would I ever know? Am I like, do I have to be a farmer to get boot cut? I'm like, there's so many different categories straight. Hey, also, they all look the same in the picture. What's the diff?

Every model that's wearing them, I need to hold them together. What is this? Skinny and baggy, same thing. Swear. Go try that on. Not get... Go try that on. Even when I take them off, you know, I always felt bad because I take them off the shelf and they were so tightly folded folded and crisp.

And then you just have to unleash them. Still feel bad because I'll wreck a table of folded shirts. Oh, my God. While the retail people are watching me, I'm like, sorry, bro. You got to do it. I know. You got to try out. I've actually, like, walked away from a table.

because there's a retail employee right there. I'm like, I just, I need to mess this up while they're not around. I can't bring myself to do it in front of them. Ask them to show you the size you need. Can you show me the XL so you're not doing it? Right. Yeah. See, I'll just fold it.

It's fine. Go ahead. I'm like, I know you hate me. Yeah. Because they got that down. You did that, right? You worked in that. You got that fold down.

The girlfriend fold, the mom fold? I'm like, this is how you do it. Okay. Even when I think I figured it out, though, still messed up. Still a little loose. I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. I was like okay at it, but I couldn't really.

Like our manager, you have a manager folder shirt and show you. You're like, damn. Mm-hmm. But I would do it. It would be kind of a little floppy. I'm like, how you pack it in so tight? Right. Like it came off of the assembly line.

Mm-hmm. Like that crisp and good. It's like how my wife wraps presents. God. My girls are so good at stuff. Like, just big dumb dumb. I still can't fathom it. Christmas was two and a half weeks ago or whatever.

I still just can't wrap my head around how perfect. The corners. Her grandma does it. Her mom does it. I'm like, you guys, I mean, you could have yourself like a J.C. Penny situation. They just charge people to wrap their gifts. That's how good they are. Outside of the mall?

outside of Dick's sporting goods, big table, foldout table, bunch of wrapping paper. Like not a, not a, not a centimeter wasted. I always have to end up like, I wrap a present and I'm good and then it gets to the side and I'm like, how do I do this triangle thing? And then I end up like cutting some slack off and I'm like, what am I even doing? Then I got to rewrap it. Then I just end up getting a gift bag or something. I'm like, you know what? I just don't want this to look like my dad wrapping.

presence because that is crazy. Dude, doing a gift bag, though, it just feels like, it feels like week 18 when you throw the third string rookie in there to see what you got. Yeah, it just feels like totally throwing in the towel. I love a good gift bag, though.

You put some of that, that paper in there? Yeah. Maybe it's something that doesn't really, it's not like a thing you can wrap. Like, do you ever get a basketball for Christmas? Like, how are you rapping that? Right. without being completely obvious.

Yeah. Make the same joke every year, though. Square, square. Skinny, skinny flat box. Could this be a basketball? It's a pair of socks? We'll do it forever. We'll do it forever, folks.

So, yeah, let's see. Gap and Old Navy going in to get pants. you know what I was thinking about earlier because my wife's 30th birthday is actually this weekend Yo Turn up Dude January birthdays

though I don't know I don't know A people with birthdays on January 1st though Or December 31st That's pretty hot That's pretty hot Because it's like a party

Yeah Yeah and it's my my wife she always says like she hated her birthday growing up still kind of does because it's so close to Christmas and dude but girls hate their birthday I'll never understand that science girls hate their birthdays no way no they don't so dude they always cry what's what's going on with that I thought that was a myth dude like I was like who's crying on their birthday there's a song about it I was like oh that must just be some like old folklore. Dude, I was like

seven years old. My sister starts crying on her birthday. I was like, what do you? What? I could not, I couldn't figure it out. I was like, why would you be crying right now? I think I met it ten times worse. Yeah. So I was like, why are you crying? It's her birthday. Are you crazy? Saying all this shit.

She ran upstairs. You kind of get it though as you get older, right? Hey, it's just like Christmas. Yeah. Because it's over. 7 p.m.? You have four, four, 15 p.m. on your birthday. And that's your day. It feels a little more personal.

Right. Everybody else is, nobody's in it with you. Everybody's going about their own. Yeah, there's always something that, like, we forget to do. And it gets extended another day, you know. Oh, well, we said we got to eat. So we'll just go tomorrow. And I'm like, well, my birthday's tomorrow too, then.

Yeah. Let's see how long I can keep this puppy going. But some girls are the complete opposite. it. Oh my God. Smells like my birthday's coming up. They celebrate for like two and a half weeks. I'm like, I can't with you. People that like their birthday

too much, go to hell. Like there's a area where you like your birthday and then that's it. You stop talking about. Girls who like Ben love their birthday. Oh my God. But also, but also cry.

But also cry on their birthday. They love it. And tears. All the worst things. You're so right. That's why I thought about that. Every girl I've ever dated, just celebrating their birthday for years and years. Yeah.

Every girl likes Ben. Heels get taller every year and the tears get longer. I get shorter. I get balder. Heels get taller. I get balder. That's my slow. again, dude.

So what do you look for in women? Heels get taller, I get balder. You're like Matthew McConaughey. Hey, days are confused. I keep getting balder. They, their heels keep getting taller. All right. I don't like kill my job.

It's so true. So what are you guys doing for her birthday? What's the plan? You can say it on here. She's definitely not listening to this. Well, you know, You'd say whatever. This could be a whole like relationship therapy podcast.

You would never know. No, no idea. I don't. Well, I was going to do like I was taking initiative myself. I was like going to get ahead of it. Hey, I want to try to do this this thing for the 30th. I was going to surprise you know because if you remember Clubhouse and Ben, you remember last year for her birthday.

Yes, we were in Disney World. but on her birthday, Frankie had the meltdown puke show of the century. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So her birthday night, we spent in the hospital with our dehydrated two-year-old. Those are the ones you remember. Those are the ones you remember. I felt like I was in a sitcom legitimately, you know, but.

It's a good bit out of that. There's a bit there. Yeah. Jeez. So I was like, all right, you know what? Yes, we were in Disney, but like that was a pretty rough birthday. let's do it up for the 30th. So I was going to, like I had this whole big thing planned.

I was going to surprise. I was going to take care of the hole. I was like, hey, we're going to go to this place and we're going to spend the weekend there. And there's going to be a couple of our friends who are going to come with, no kids. Like, you know, there are a place with a spa. And I was going to surprise. I was going to surprise her with it. Just be like, hey, don't worry about your 30th because it's on the weekend.

I got it. But then I think she kind of got a little nervous of like what the hell is actually going to be. And so she kind of wanted a little bit. Okay. Yeah. Smart. Yeah. And so she was like, I really appreciate what you're doing, but I think that like I just, let's just do this.

I want to do this. Okay. Yeah. Fine. So. I mean, it kind of kind of hurts a little bit though, you know? Yeah. But I mean, at the same time, it's like, I mean, it's your weekend.

Like, you know, I didn't. I don't want to get in the way of that, you know, like. but thank God last Steelers thing thank God they play on Monday night holy shit because last year I was coming back from Disney

and they played on Saturday night I was stuck on the plane and it was horrible I had to pay $7.99 to watch the debacle in Baltimore but this year you're cheating on me with the Steelers aren't you

but this year I don't got to worry about it mom and dad are going away with no kids and I don't even have to know football even exists That's fun. Thank God. Until the next day.

Birthday, over. Now it's time to lock in. Waker up doing Oklahoma drill. Oh, we go! Yeah. Helmet to helmet, just right there. What a drill, dude.

I remember that. I think we were probably the last generation of that. I think so too. did that yeah had to be they got to bring that back right I mean how else do you how else do you learn how to tackle

and I'm being completely honest like in a game you got to tackle somebody and you haven't done it yet like I'd be like I'd probably like get a penalty like I'd go for their face mask I think they do I think they do with those like guildies

those those gilden bags I think that that's that's their thing now. So funny. Just 4.45 p.m. You're just doing bull in the ring. He literally just left school. Bull in the ring, man. That's crazy. You just ate 23 mini twix bars at your house and tried to do your science homework. And 30 minutes later, there's a circle of dudes around you about to just break your neck. track. I had no idea I was about to get into this. How funny is that, bro? The alcoholic coaches are just going around.

I don't a swivel. There's all, but at that point in practice, early practice, there might maybe be two coaches there at tops. You know, there's that crazy one that just had to like get there from work to like start practice. Then all the real coaches come like halfway through. He couldn't get there in time. He tries to get ahead of it.

Like he tries to get out in front of it because he knows that the real coaches are probably like, hey, I don't know if we should be doing this, but he can't wait to come to bowling a ring. Circle it up! I love it. That would, I mean, 2026, that'd probably be considered child abuse. God, man, it was so fun.

You'd like fake them out, you know, and you're in the circle. I'd be doing all that bullshit. Almost get there and then go back and there's somebody coming from the other side. Laying them out. Just absolutely levels them. Like a hit from a member of every every hit and Bowling a Ring is like that scene for Remember the Titans when they're just absolutely fucking up that one team. Swear.

Hitting people in the back because you don't know. I'm 12. I just tried to watch porn for 15 minutes at my house. Give me a break. They're just all decleaders, man. Like shit, we might we might actually be able to beat Mountie. Carmel. Dude, you get a stud?

You get a stud in the middle of there, though? It was just like knocking people around. I'm like, yo, he's our best player dog. Mm-hmm. Just hitting them with shoulders, too. Mm-hmm. Not even doing anything. Just shoulder checks.

Oh, my God. Yeah. Boring. Kind of always a little nervous when you had to scrimmage a team coming up. Middle of the week before your season started. It's get a scrimmage OLG. I'm like, ooh, whoa. Kind of a real game here.

They're coming to our house? This isn't really like a doesn't count thing. Like this, we're playing for keeps, babe. Might be some girls that show up. I'll never forget that actually happened. We scrimmage St. Mark, because we never played them during the regular season,

but they were good and they were our friends. And girls came to the game. And they beat us, like bad. And they talked to our girls after the game. And our coach was even like, they took your girls, bro. And we were like, they had better eighth graders than us. What do you want us to do? Who was in that class?

They had so many like eighth graders that peaked Dossie, McCoy, Massengale, middle linebacker talking shit the whole time, bro. Like Matt Exley, seventh grader, but still good. Oh, yeah. They were running double reverses. Like, bro, they had so much confidence. And we were just like, we got nothing. They were ready.

They were fine, too. They couldn't wait, but they were hungry. Yeah. They were hungry. They had like the cutoff jerseys right here. Yeah. Dossie's wearing a visor in eighth grade. I was like, I'm going to kill myself.

Yeah, you always knew it was going to be a rough day, like a long day. When that other team came in, you could just tell they were like on ready. They were like, ravities. dogs, man. They were ready to ready to hit could not wait to hit another jersey and you're like being pretty loud too being loud warming up. I was like

damn. You're like man I kind of I you know like I know that this is like more real than in practice but at the same time like I don't even know if we have refs like I think my dad and Coach Gillum are just like calling this they're just trying to figure it out just like we are. They'd always have some like kids from Southport too that like didn't play for their team. I'd be like how do you

get that kid. Who is that? Yeah. That's tough. Scary situation. Yeah. That is tough. Going back to January

birthdays, though, this might be a hot take. Probably is. But I think when you're younger, January birthday has got a lot of potential. Why?

And here's why. Because when it's cold, you live in a place like we did growing up and it's cold and shitty so often that's when you have to bring out all the different stops because you don't just have the out of

like yeah we're going to go to the park or we're going to go to my grandma's pool you know like you you have to oh we're going bowling and then we're going to a movie and then we're coming back to our house

and my parents already got us four games, video games, on my new gaming console that I just got for Christmas. Oh my God, he just got Xbox 360. We got to go. Right. And then, yeah, like I feel like, I feel like in our instance, the parents had to like double down almost because the kid didn't have the easy out for a birthday. You know, if it's like middle January, you know, maybe you got the divisional

playoffs on and everything. But like, yeah, you're going bowling. You're going to like short courts. you're doing something that's crazy arcade because you have to be inside arcade because you have to be inside and you have to those are your only options A little bit more of a flex Yeah I was always kind of like I mean this sucks like

You know we just started school back up It's so dark out It's so cold we're all so pale We look like we're sick We probably are sick But at the same time I was like Man a little like Friday night Birthday party in January

in like 2003. Kind of nice. That'll get you through, man. And they'll, like, celebrate it in school, too. You ever have that? Or like somebody's mom brings in cupcakes for everybody? Uh-huh. That's amazing to me.

Yeah. Can't do that anymore. Really? Yeah, because all, like, the allergies and the liabilities and all sorts, like, yeah, you can't do it. bro, that was just like a breath of fresh air that I never expected. Just all the sudden seventh period, Ross's hot mom brings in 24 cupcakes with blue icing with rings on the top of them.

I was like, all right, let's all take a break real quick and just have like Hawaiian punch and cupcakes. This is so sick. I love you. You gain so much respect. Yeah, it's pretty insane.

Damn, we're just, it's kind of over. Like, we don't need, for the rest of the day, I'm sorry, we're not doing shit. Like, we're just eating cupcakes right now. Right. We hold the power over the teacher that much that the teacher's going to stop their plan, their lesson plan for you to come in and have crispy cream. Some fizzy red punch drink. 1.45 p.m. schools over at 2.30. Red teeth.

I was like, yo, right. Thanks. Thanks. I love you. I remember he's by his desk. They stay there for like three weeks after. I'm like this is amazing. We just had a party for your ass. It kind of started getting a little crazy though when you would have maybe like three birthdays in a week. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's Allison's birthday? So then by Friday when Allison's birthday is, you're like, all right, even I'm starting to feel a little bit. Miss Lathrop hasn't gotten shit done.

Like we got to cool it on the birthdays. Allison, you're not that cool. She's going to have Miss Lathrop's going to have a heart attack, dog. Too much sugar. Crispy cream, cupcakes. Then just a big, then just donut holes? I'm like, God, man. This is crazy.

I just remember being like third and fourth grade and that thought would go through my mind. I'd be like, all right. Yeah, we've done this like, this is like our third time this week. but we're going to have to pay for this on the back end. Hated that. Always that feeling, bro. That's some kind of like childhood wound right there. Like, you know, like something bad's going to happen because everything good is happening this week.

Like next week, we probably have eye step or something. That's just what I was about to say. Yeah. I'm like, yeah, Mrs. Leithrop's going to load us up, man. We're going to have a science project. We're going to have a paper due. We're going to have I step all because we had to get cupcakes. and crispy cream for three days straight.

Fake week. And you didn't even see it coming, man. Like maybe on some weird, like we had jump rope for hoops for heart that week too. So the whole week's just. Who knows? Field trip. Yeah, dude. That sucks the kids today.

I don't know what it's like to have a parent come in, just interrupt shit for 40 minutes. With a little tree. And your teacher just had to be like, it's their birthday. Yeah. I guess. Oh, they had it scheduled out, though. The mom called the teacher for sure. Hey, I want to surprise Ross.

Is there a good time I could come in when you guys are done? It wasn't even a surprise, though, because what kid, like, I remember the kid on that day would come in. Like, they were the president of the United States. Like, just biggest chest out, biggest smile on. It's my birthday. And guess what? About 1.30. the crispy creams are coming.

Great hair. Team these guys at gmail.com. Let's shoot the club hash got going on. Skut. This is from Colton. Just says Clubhouse. Hey, fellas. Longtime listener, second time emailer.

The reminiscing of school recess and lunches last week had me thinking of my own time in school. Does station know about me playing all-time QB, slinging the pill like I was Big Ben? We had to play football in our concrete outdoor basketball court, and I can remember many a time having to squeeze the ball in between the defender and the basketball hoop. Slop my ass with a stat sheet I used to keep my desk

from my middle school recess football games. Thanks, Golden. It's a big responsibility. Doesn't get enough credit. When you're an all-time QB, I had to do it for a couple. Dude, you got to carry both teams to victory. Like, you can't be biased. You got to be slinging.

Like, you got to do it all. And like, sorry, bro. Like, there's just a lot going on. I got to, I got to get two teams to win right now. It's crazy. Salute. Got to spread the wealth, too. Can't just be passionate to your homie all the time.

Kids will start getting pissed. Mm-hmm. Yep. And you're like, dude, we're like, we're like Brady and Edelman. Like we're on the same, we read each other's minds. Like Big Ben and Tonyo Brown. You know, I got to go over here and get this guy involved, Martavis Bryant, you know, or else he's going to throw a fit.

Got to get Scott a bubble screen. He'll start crying over here. Come on. Hey, maybe we get, he's kind of fast, get him on a sweep or something. Johnny's open on every play. He won't shut up about it. You throw it to him. Can't catch it.

All right. Whose fault is that? It's a bigger responsibility, bro. probably the biggest responsibility you have until you're like 20, all time QB. Put it on your resume to get a job trying to work at Olive Garden. What are your accomplishments? I was all time QB till like last week. All time QB fall of 05 to spring of 07.

And I met Dan Marino in spring break. That really is my accomplishments in my life on my resume were like stuff like that. I was like, what do you mean? What have I accomplished? I'm like 20. I don't know. Holy shit. I beat a, I beat Max Payne on the computer.

My cousin played like half the time. I don't know. Like, I organize a spring break trip in college, like kind of a lot of stuff going on. How to, how to count a lot of money. A little bit of a leadership quality there. I'm saying. Organizing spring break. Hey, if I don't, if I don't organize it, we're not going.

How about that? Yeah. Got experience with accounting and budgeting. Got to make sure everybody's payments were due on time. I'd make sure that money was going to the proper places. Exactly. I was calling every day. We still got the reservation.

Come on. Yeah. I feel you. God, can you imagine filled out of resume now? Wow. I got roasted for my resume at one time. Why? By whom?

Who's not getting a Chevy Blazer foredoor from Blossom? I'm always so pissed because I'm like, how do you even come about that? How can you just slap your name on a whole bunch of dealerships and cars just show up there? And you just sponsor every high school football stadium in the city? It's so. The hell.

Ray Skillman. Tom Rauch, Masta. It's so funny. You know you're legit when you got a car dealership on your press box. I'm like, you see that? Yeah. Tycoon. Yeah, that's, that's interesting there.

Capital City Ford, City Ford. Monica Peck and Courtney Cole, the Sisters of Savings at Hewbler, Chevrolet. Not bad, dude. Not bad with that. Hey, how come there's a dog in every car dealership? That's their mascot. No, just driving. Like, you know, you see a car dealership commercial and they're showing you around the lot and on the inside.

Yeah. Stock them deep and sell them cheap. Isn't that right? Bruno. Ralphie. In the front of the car, there's an old German Shepherd. Oh, I got to go there. Ralphie.

for your for your finger where the phone could sit on. Oh, got the code out. It's kind of a sleek design. Kodak camera back there. Yeah. That'll get me.

That'll get me in the door. You know, that's a, that's, it seems really good, Joe. You're talking two of the wrong guys, though. I mean, we don't, we didn't grow up in wrestling households. We didn't grow up. We're being able to watch that. Yeah. I've come along later in life.

I'll watch the big ones and everything because I think they're highly entertaining and hysterical. But I don't think. I think I can really speak to it. Monday Night Raw, NFC, Smackdown, AFC. Sounds right, I think. Maybe. I'd have to see the colors.

Sounds right, though, because AFC is more fun to us, and Friday night is going to be more fun. Wow. Yeah. Monday, NFC, Friday, AFC. Yeah. Smackdown. God, they have the coolest names for those.

I know. Raw. Wrestling branding, too. The fonts. Oh. Oh, this is from Paul. Death by Casidia. What's up the show?

I'm currently moving from Arizona and North Dakota. I've been listening to old TG episodes on the drive. Just finished the slap me with a white airhead episode and nearly turned into oncoming traffic crying, laughing at the Death by Casidia Food Challenge. I went to Benny's show and found. Phoenix lost month solo, Dolo. I thought about not going because I didn't want to go

alone to a comedy show but couldn't pass up a chance to see Johnson. Is it weird to go to a comedy show alone? And is there anything that you wouldn't go to solo, ballgame, theme park, concert, etc.? Obliterate my ass with a meat tenderizer

until I, awo, awo, owie. Thanks, Paul. Congrats on the move. I hope it went well. Yeah, dude. When I saw that subject line pop up death by cassidy, I was like, damn, we might have to go back and pull some clips.

What do we do? What do we say? How would you want to die? Yeah, but we were talking about, we were talking about like those challenges that the restaurants have where like the hot sauce. And you look at the picture, the guy just were like, face just melted, tears coming down in his face. They're so red. Right. Yeah.

I just ate 20. I just ate that 24 pound cheeseburger. his nose and ears are bleeding. You're like, okay, well, I think we're just going to go to chilies. Glad you got that done because now you're going to die. All right. Congratulations.

Yeah, that was, I remember that was so funny. Slat me in the face with a Taco Bell chicken cassidia. I'd take about 36 to the grill right now. Every morning. That's how you wake up. That's your alarm. Come on, hunty.

Time for my slapping. Auntie. Hi, Peelady. Taco Tuesday? Taco Tuesday? His eyes over here. Hi, pay lady. I want it mild.

I want a hot pay lady. Hi, lady. Lady got to be, oh my God. Hi, pay lady. That might need to be some new merch. It was like pre. all messed up tiny letters and shit numbers in it and shit

yeah is it weird to go to a comedy show alone is there anything that you wouldn't go to solo uh you'll let you weigh in I'm a weirdo about it and I like doing stuff alone like big time like that I think that's the only way to go to a comedy show is solo because you don't I don't when I'm with people

I'm like making sure they like think it's funny. Like I start doing like a weird thing. I can't enjoy it unless I'm just by myself. Movies too. Well, movies are kind of fun because you can talk to somebody about it after. Dude, remember when? Yeah.

But the only thing I wouldn't do would probably would be weird would be amusement park solo. That's like crazy. Imagine going to Disney World by yourself. I feel like weird. Like you got to go with somebody. Yeah, unless you're just going to eat. Unless you're just going to eat or something.

I don't know. I did that one time. I've seen that, like, there was that debate when Flacco was talking about how he, you know, he used to look at guys at a bar by themselves and be like, wow,

you must be so sad. And now he says he would do anything to be that guy. And I'm kind of on that portion of my life, you know, because I'm never alone. I'm always with my wife. I'm always with my two kids. I'm always with my dogs.

I'm always with, like, always. Yeah. And as much as I do love to be around people, especially like people that are my people that I love. The same time, yeah, man, when like you get like an hour and a half to just go. Whoa. Just be on your phone looking up every once in a while, eating some nachos. It's pretty amazing feeling.

Yeah. Don't have anything to worry about? I can just piss and come back and that's it. It's about to be me this weekend. And because Rye's going to be doing like, she's got. some, you know, spa and like shit like that set up. I was like, no, you go do all that and enjoy yourself. You're gonna have like seven hours, bro.

Yeah. And I'm gonna be chilling. Seven hours up. Playtime. Playtime. Yeah, amusement park would be interesting. See, because then you go to, you could go to these different things like a movie. You don't have to worry about it.

But like you go to a bar by yourself. there's always going to be other people that are around. You know, so play it off the right way and don't be like annoying, obnoxious or weird guy. But like, you can find yourself chatting it up with somebody if you want to. If not, though, no big deal. It's the best way to do it. Go into a, yeah. The amount of times I've gone to a restaurant and eaten by myself, I'm like, why?

Yeah. It's great. Hey, bring your laptop too. just like... Oh, doing nothing on my laptop. Absolutely nothing. Watching a Drake music video acting like I'm working. It may not mean nothing to y'all.

But understand nothing was done for me. The amount of times I've done that in a coffee shop, write like one script, you know, maybe. Young Jeezy for the rest of the time. Three coffees. Sit back in the chair. Yep. heart about to explode.

It's got a Greg. Greg says, Here we go. After that game on Sunday night, just had to write in. Another incredible chapter of Steelers Ravens. Major difference from years past and why I have faith in this team is because of Rogers.

He loves being here. The guys have embraced him, and he does not panic under pressure. Steelers are beating Houston on Monday next week. Slap my ass with a Tyler Loop misfield goal. His time expired. Greg. Yes, sir, baby.

Love it, Greg. I feel the exact same way. Been an absolute joy and privilege to watch Rogers lead this team. And hell, let's go on a run and maybe he'll come back next year. Got another year in them. Got another year in them.

Who's the Steelers getting in the draft, though? Got any top picks? No, I mean, we'll probably be in the 20s somewhere, of course. So what do they need? Probably. probably BPA, honestly. I mean, would be nice to get a receiver, but I don't know,

the exact receiver class that's coming out and we typically don't take receivers in the first round. Yeah, Steelers only get receivers for the peak of their careers, and then they go off and turn psychotic somewhere else. Yeah. And we draft them in like the third round, you know.

Good on running. I mean, we could, you know, well, you get on a running bag, offensive lines coming together, a bunch of young pieces. First round, I probably, I mean, maybe another D-Linman, corner, safety. So exciting. God, this is just just for play for guys.

I know. Let's go, dude. It's amazing. Oh, we got to get a corner, start looking at the best corners available. Then you pick your favorite one. Right. Hope they get that guy from Missouri. I'm liking him.

Yeah, yeah. See Daniel Jeremiah's three sentence cut up on him? And you're like, oh, man, yeah. They start moving up the chart. I knew it. I love that guy. Guy does have some good length. Yeah, we could use that.

He's got long arms. All right, let's do one from Joseph. Vince Young, Titans, Fathead. Ben, Joey, had the pleasure of going back home to visit my family over the course of the holidays of Tennessee. With this, I had to stay in my childhood bedroom, which seems to be frozen in time. since 2007. Every night I would crawl into my twin-sized bed and share the life-size fat head of Vince Young wearing that crisp powder blue Titans jersey across the room. I also found my old school binders, which were covered in many fathead stickers. Naturally, I had to flip through them

and reminisce about all the stickers of players like Luke Keakley, Adrian Peterson, Ledanyan Tomlinson, Patrick Willis, and others that I had collected or traded up to over the years. I even threw on the old titanium fighting necklace just to feel something. Oh. My question is, were you guys ever part of a fathead culture? Trading around different player mini-stickers and hanging up life-size fatheads of players seemed like such an elite time to be alive. I might even take Vince with me back to the pad in Texas.

Should fatheads make a comeback? Anyway, smack my ass while wearing Reebok Zygtex, watching the intro hype video to Maddo-O-8 on YouTube repeatedly. God. What an email. I don't know why fatheads ever stopped being relevant. I'm like, this is a great idea

and the thing was like that I was like blown away by was that you could take them off the wall and put them on another wall. I'm like, this isn't permanent. I can put this everywhere. This is great. Yeah. No, I didn't have the many ones so much

and the many ones we would have. We would just put them up in our Steelers basement but did have a big bin and a Troy Palomalo life size, big old fat heads down there. So, you know, boys would be over, be having a party in high school and stuff down in the basement. There's Troy P.

It's on the wall. My house was pretty easy to give away back in the day. About to tackle your couch. Any pictures came about, you could pinpoint it pretty, pretty easily of where those people were. Just big Ben. Let's see.

Well, those guys are drinking in that basement, but there's a picture of. Jerome Bettis on the wall. That's Bullenarrow's house. Pretty much. Yeah, dude. Hey, dude, give me a fat head of Rogers. Oh, yeah.

That should sell out. Why aren't they doing that? They have to be. It just fell off a little bit. I would have that come secretly. And then in the middle of the night, I would put it in my room and have Rye wake up to it and have her be so mad. That on the wall in your room

She comes back from her birthday thing Hey I decorated our room You're gonna love it Goes upstairs Rathosberger on the wall Hey It's just the evolution of the steel

Terry Bradshaw big Ben Hey Terry Bradshaw Tommy Maddox Cordell Stewart Flip it Terry Bradshaw Cordell Stewart Tommy Madix Big Ben Rogers You paint

T. Martin in there? You're like, I just thought he would have worked out in today's game. He would have worked out. You're explaining that to your wife? She's like, shut the fuck up. Oh, now she would have killed me long before that. I wouldn't even get into T. Martin. Bleeding out on the rug.

He would have worked out in today's game, dude. His last words. Oh my God, well was Joey's last words. He's talking about like T. Martin or something. Before I put a terrible towel over his head. Water boards you with a terrible towel in the bathtub. Here we go.

Yeah, pretty much. Oh, man. What are you going to do? All right. Joseph, that was a new one. Thanks, man. What else? St. Pierre.

Oh, wow, I already got ahead of it. Geez. No, no, I was just trying to think of another Steelers quarterback that didn't really work out. Can we just talk about that for a first? second Steelers quarterback's that didn't really work out. In between Terry Bradshaw, you had... In between the legends.

Mike Tom, Zach, Bobby Brister, Mark Miller, Neil O'Donnell. A couple heaters in there. Hey, Neil O'Donnell, don't trip on him. He was kind of a main stay for a minute. Hey, went to a Super Bowl, man. Started a Super Bowl.

O'Donnell nameplayed on the back? Not bad. Steelers apostrophe Steelers pawn apostrophe? Got to like it. Oh, Donald. Dude, get out of here. No, he didn't have the italicized yet.

He was still the block boys. Oh, okay. Damn. Still cool. Oh, anyways, people are tired of hearing me talking about the Steelers, so it's all good. So you got to talk about them more, dude? These guys, L-O-L-L on.

YouTube on Instagram. Get numbers going up on Instagram, baby. I love it. Let's hit 10K here soon. These guys, LOL, every week, show. Sorry for being a day late here. Got back from Pittsburgh late. It just didn't work out.

So we had to record on Tuesday. So appreciate you guys. Follow the show, subscribe on YouTube, leave us a rating, leave us to review, comment a random Steelers quarterback or the fat head that you would want up on your wall. Oh, my God. Dream fathead.

What's going on? What's going on in 20206? You got any shows lined up yet? We'll be lining them up soon. But just chilling now. Yeah. Taking her easy. Take it easy.

We need to make some plans for the draft, though. Live. We'll talk offline. We'll talk offline. Live Tyler Shuck. What? All right. We'll talk to you next week.

BW. Craig Cranzel.
