We're leaving the hotel about to go back to Indiana from Chicago. Hey, donuts? Oh. Oh, I was like, how could I say no? Like, in what world would I be like, two days before Christmas, donuts while we're in Chicago? I'm good. Wow.

Hey, and hands also. Being on my face, didn't even care. Hey, two days before Christmas. Light me on fire. Hands also never getting cleaner. When you have donuts

or something like that, doesn't matter how many times you lick them, doesn't matter how many wipes you use. It doesn't matter. Never, never get clean. As soon as you touch your phone, sticky screen phone. Always getting worse, dude. You know it's a bad day when you wake up and your phone already has like two thumbprints on it from something you ate from the night before, bro.

I'm like, I don't know. I think today's canceled when you wake up and you got drunk guy phone. One big thumbprint because I ate some peanut butter last night. I'm like, I'm a piece of shit, dude. not only the phone but then also you got drunk guy glasses and everything on them and you don't fix them you got to have somebody else do it for you everything on them and so then you you pick up your phone

you don't have your glasses on yet you pick up your phone and you already kind of feel the grime and the stick she's like oh god there's some crumbs on it then you put your glasses on i mean it looks like somebody took a salt and pepper shaker and just grinded it up onto your phone. It's that bad. Why is there mildew on my lenses? Why do I need some, why do I need lime away? You flash back. You can rub it on your, on whatever you got. It's not coming off. You're like, I need new glasses. You flash it back to the night before. Did I just sit there for 25 minutes just

going like this with my fingers and cross my lenses? Because that's what it looks like. What could have happened? Hey, did I cry? Huntee, did I cry? Huntee. Did I cry? Huntee. drunk guy glasses drunk iPhone drunk crumbs everywhere god what a worst yeah it was though it really was luckily didn't really wake up with either one of those on Tuesday the 23rd is one of those it's like you're too excited for the next day that you just want to you know you're you're having a good time the night before but then you got to keep in mind hey I can't spoil the next day because I spoil the next day then I'm set back for Christmas Eve I just got to

I got to have fun, but I got to maintain. I think we maintained. I've maintained. You got to stay honest. You got to stay honest with yourself. Don't get two out of line, man. We got a game to play. Dude, 10 p.m. on Christmas Eve, best time of my life, dude.

Best time watching the Hawaii Bowl, two pieces of cheesecake in front of me. You said something to me. I was like, we just, everybody in the world knows right now. It's the best time of their lives. December 25th, Christmas Day at 10 p.m., worst night of my entire life. And you texted me again, you're like, bro. You were texting me a lot on Christmas night.

I was kind of concerned. I was thinking, man, this might not just be a bit anymore. Like, Ben might actually need some help. He might need some backup to come in. Watching the game, watching some game like it was the Super Bowl, just because I didn't want it to end. Like, god dang. The, yeah, I did.

I fired you a text on Christmas Eve. I was just like, I just out of curiosity. you know what's it looking like over there for politsy on christmas eve right now yeah i'm putting together on my kids shit making the magic happen the night before christmas trying to decide like do i want some more wine do i not want some more wine are we going to stay out we're going to restart it's a wonderful life or we're just going to watch the broadcast version that's on nbc making all those decisions while i'm putting together like a toy track for frank like what's going on in ben's world different world i was sitting christ

cross applesauce on a couch is watching TV. Complete silence. Got a little bit of food in front of me. Hey, you got me good on chicken nachos, bro. I'm addicted right now to him. Oh, that was a Joey just willy-nilly ordered some chicken nachos at Sluggers in Chicago before our podcast. Hey, let's get something to snack on chicken nachos. I was like, all right, let's see what they're working with at Sluggers. Not really known for food, I don't think. Baden cages upstairs. We want to take a couple swings. Yeah, we had some salad.

Something light, got some nachos. I just went in on the nachos. And I can't find a better chicken nachos anywhere. If anybody has any, like, little low-key, got a chain restaurant that does chicken nachos really well, let me know because I can't. They're too good. And at one point, we're both eating the chicken nachos.

The chicken is where, of those weird things where we ordered the chicken nachos before, but then they didn't come out until after our food was already there. It's a very messed up situation. I don't know. But anyways, we got the chicken nachos. And so I was eating my chicken cassidia. And he houses his salad in about, I don't know, 90 seconds. And so then he takes a beat and then he just goes, you care if I mess up those nachos a little bit? That verbatim. That's what he said. I was like, yeah, man, go for. I got him for us. You know, it's one of those things where you know that when you order an appetizer, like that. It's going to be so big. No way. It's just for you. You order it for the table.

You were touching them. So I was like, is he mad at these nachos? Like, is he mad? And I was like, maybe I'll just, you know, take them off his hands. And so he said, you care if I mess these up a little bit? Sure. Just thinking he'll eat them. No, that's exactly what he did. He met, stabbing them with his fork. Doof. Doof. Talk about being mad at him. I was like, gee, somebody is hangary pissed off hey never hangary yeah I don't know man just something about crunched up nachos with a fork and then he'd just eating them

oh my god scooping crunched up nachos in your mouth hey not a reminiscent podcast but did you ever just go crazy at nacho bar back in the day at school it was the one time I bought lunch like I always brought my lunch brought my lunch brought my lunch and then one day I was like

can I buy my lunch lunch and I didn't even know how to go about it. Like I didn't know what to do because first time buying lunch, like do I need a ticket? Like, who do I talk to? I just have like five dollars. I have no idea what to do. Never been in line. Everything's brand new. And I only did it because I was like, I got to get nacho bar. Because my friends would sit down around me. I had my sack lunch, PB&J, carrots, a Capri Sun. And they'd sit down with full plates of nachos. Cheese all over it customized. I was like, you're already. put you're putting like green onion and stuff we're in fourth grade you're already experimenting

with onions lettuce tomatoes crunching them up right in front of my face i was like this looks unreal had the little cup the little dish cups of ground beef yeah yeah as many as you want i was like this doesn't even make sense how you could just load these up right here chili con queso i believe it's what they call it. And we were, and we kind of had it, we kind of had a little fiesta while we were in fourth grade. We had like kind of a setup. But the day I got nacho bar, it was like, they were out of stuff. Chips were all cracked up. You know what I mean? The cheese was cold. Yeah, it wasn't hidden like all those other times. I just had to pretend that it was really good. It was still kind of fire though. Nacho bar was definitely the way to go. Out of all the bar situations,

you had chicken nugget bar you had pizza bar I think there might have been another one but they had nacha bar I remember there's a little station that had peanut butter and jelly like there were like fluffer nutters you remember this?

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I got line one time and I was like what the hell's a fluffer nutter and some girls like it's peanut butter and marshmallow and I was like how would I ever know that that sounds amazing by the way yeah and people

People, like people eat, they would get hot on certain ones. And so sometimes you would really want nacho bar. But if all the sheep was following the pack to nacho bar, you're like, man, I guess I might as well hop over to chicken nugget bar. It's probably more fresh. It wasn't anything crazy. It was literally five little fake-ass chicken nuggets and a plastic baggie. What was it? What was the side, though, top five sides?

Was it macaroni? You throwing macaroni down with those? I mean, that's kind of a lit lunch. The bars were, you remember, the bars were around the edges. And then in the middle is where you would go and kind of freestyle. Maybe get a little bit of salad, maybe a little bit of those super watery pineapple slices that you dump in there or pears or whatever. I forgot about the middle part.

Yeah, some croutons. That was where you would get your sides to fill in the other dishes. But the bars were the main courses. So you get nacho bar, pizza bar, chicken nugget bar. Or you'd have the hot lunch. You'd have the whatever was on tap for that day. Turkey Manhattan was always a big one. Did we have that growing up or was that just high school?

I felt like that was a high school exclusive. Nope, nope. We had that. We were going Manhattan with it in like sixth grade. Wow. Wow. Turkey Manhattan was a big day. Some days they'd have pinay pasta, you know, so you'd have spaghetti.

Crazy. I remember when they like came to each class and you got to like design the lunch. Did you guys ever do that? No. It'd be like it's your week to pick what you want for lunch and a whole class as a team would be like, oh my god oh my god, chicken nuggets. What if we got

chicken fries? We'd be like saying all these things and our teacher would be like, hold on. This happened bro. Yeah, we're like somebody one time was like bake potato and she was like, I'll see what they can do. It was crazy. I'm swearing God I'm not making this up. People were just throwing

cookies for dessert. Cookies. with ice cream, yeah, ice cream. Bro, it was amazing. That sounds like something to be on MTV in like 2004. Pick your lunch. Pick your hot lunch. Every class did it. Like one time it was something, it was something real wild and they're like,

this is Mrs. Cantor's class. I was like, you guys? You guys did this? It was like sirloin steak. On it all new. Pint my lunch. We go to Mrs. Cantor's class. Yeah.

They had a bunch of wives. I was like, you guys had strawberries and cream. I didn't even know that was an option. So would they order these things or is it all stuff that they had to have in-house? Well, it was kind of like you could throw a couple shots out there and see. And like the teacher would have the list of stuff and go to the kegleys and be like, is this possible? And you'd be like, we'll see what we can do. Yeah, there's a couple backup picks in there.

You know, if they didn't have cotton candy, you know, you'd get like something else crazy that we asked for. Two cookies or like smores or something would be on there. It'd be like, what? I swear you guys ruin that for us. I think you ruined that for us because we never did. It was a little like, I can't believe we're allowed to do this. In the back of my head, I was like, they're letting us just have like full rain with all these like ideas we're thrown out there. It was the most together our class has ever been ever.

Hey, you have that one kid that nobody really, you know, he's kind of the quiet kid. Then all of a sudden he pulls one out. You're like, oh. I didn't know Joseph Chastain had it like that. Dude, Joseph asked for lasagna and I think we're doing it. I forgot that you're always always were pack lunch kid. Dude, yeah. Just every single day.

Didn't know any better. in a whirlwind when it was time to buy. I was like, there was two types of bring lunch kids. One type was the Uber rich kid whose mom was a stay-at-home mom who did everything times 10. And so he'd be sitting there with his absolute luxurious lunchbox that would have like an actual pull-out cooler and shit.

and have the sickest stuff. Double fudge rounds. A Kool-A-A-u-juice, one of those rocket bomb things. You know, like just the craziest shit you could ever imagine. You're like, God, dang, I'm so jealous of that kid. And I'm like, what's the point? Hey, Chiller. Really?

Bro, Chiller would come flexing on him. And I was like, what's the point of even bringing your lunch if you're going to come with a suitcase full of gas? Like all he had, like he had a little Debbie every day. A different kind. He had the mini bag of chips that you get at like Sam's Club, you know, you get the variety pack Dorito. He'd have the sandwich.

He'd have the Capri Sun. I'd be like, that's crazy every day. That's like a, that's like a, what is it called when you? That's like a field trip lunch. You know what I mean? He had one of those every single day because people would pop off for field trips. That's the first kind. Second kind, you.

It's typically both parents had long hour jobs. They probably had to pack it themselves. Oh, yeah. Or divorced parents. And they were just on their own. Yeah, it was just kind of like paper bag, sandwich, sometimes two sandwiches. Like if I was like maybe like in eighth grade a couple times.

Like a vegetable Capri son. That was it. Yeah. Like I'd be eating my lunch. I'd be like, that's it. Kind of scraping the barrel. Just whatever. Just get through, get by.

Didn't care. I was like, yeah, whatever. There's no between. But I was in shock. When I saw people bring like luncheables, I would be like, what world are you living in? The pizza ones?

The cheese? How good was that shredded cheese? Hey, but also bring your lunch kid, the perk that both types had, first pick at a seat. Mm-hmm. That's true. But sometimes it backfire. I'd sit down first, like, be done with my lunch and then a bunch of like maybe not your best friends would come sit by you. And I'd be like, well, I can't move now to where I want to sit. Because I don't want to make them feel like they're, you know. Yeah, but typically like you said, like there would be other at least one or two of your homies who would also bring their lunch. And so those two or three, they would establish ground, you know. And they would, they would, they would. They would. They would. They would.

they would, bam, put down their roots right where they wanted to be. And if you were in the back, you know, if your class got let out late and you were in the back of nacho bar line, you're like peeking over. Sometimes I would settle for something I didn't even really want so I could get a seat at the table. Yeah, it's a big deal. I had a bad seat at lunch for a whole, the whole situation was messed up. For a year, I was just sitting by people I didn't want to sit by. I was like, I guess I'm kind of friends with you guys by default. but like those are my real friends down there having a blast in the middle of the table talking to girls kind of I'm just by you nerds talking about God knows what no no envy like seeing the lunch table that you want to be at have fun I'm like those are my actual friends and I'm just like out here doing nothing I am just sitting looking at the wall not talking done with my lunch somebody's mom came in just just down there just having just having to

the most fun of all time. I thought, what are they talking about down there? Hey, you start to bring, you start to bring, like, some homework down. Try to get ahead and start on that. Did that? Did you do that? That'd be a wild move. No, I was just thinking of that scenario, you know, because that's, might as well. Not as well. Yeah, get ahead. Get ahead, man. Oh, dude. Always a worst nightmare when one of my friends' moms would come to lunch. I'd be like, Why are you even here? That would always be embarrassing that crap out of me, dude.

Red his face of all time. With moms? Yeah, like, dude, there's this one girl's mom that would come into our lunch and like, kind of make the guys talk to the girls

and like, who do you have a crush? Like that kind of thing, bro. That got dicey. Because you're not expecting it. It's a curveball. Like,

and you got to say something. You don't want to say. Like, dude, it was, my face was. so red. I was kind of sick though when you get the parent, typically a dad, when you get the dad who would come in and all of a sudden that table that his, all of a sudden that table that his kid

was sitting at, he was getting that whole table an extra little snack. Yo, that's so true. Oh my gosh. His dad's here. His dad's so cool. Oh, my God. He bought us all cotton candy swirl ice cream bars from the freezer thing. Yeah, dude.

He got us all slushies. Then like sometimes in like seventh and eighth grade when like you said, when you start to mix girls and guys a little bit. Yeah. You get some girls like maybe not like every other. But you know, they'd be you'd have you and your boys right here. They'd get a little closer.

A couple crossover right there, you know. Then all of a sudden I'll be like, Macy Spears dad's getting us ice cream snickers. What the hell. Whoa. What a poll. It's like, all right. Jim? Let's go.

All right. You like us like that? No, Rick was his name. Sorry. Anyways. Miss Sedina, not like that. Miss Sudzina's here. I'm going to eat and maybe I'll go to the bathroom for the rest of the lunch. I'll hide in the stall. She's going to make a big deal about me and

freaking Amelia Zabel. My face is going to get red. everybody knows I like her. I don't want to admit it. She's going to make me admit it in front of 30 of you, my friend. I'm hiding in the bathroom. Worst day of my life. I walked down there to see Mrs. Zina's hair.

I'm like, I got to go. You never had to worry, though. You never had to worry last week we were talking about, like, the dickhead dad that you didn't want to come to your friend. You didn't want to come home when you're at your friend's house. You never had to worry about only cool dad would show up at lunch. Ready to. Ready. Jokes.

On deck. Full clip act outs. He's got sound effects. Dude, wait, is your dad coming to recess with us? You ever have that? Oh,

yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, Mr. Brought and popping out at recess doing this cow noise.

Closer, bro. Had me on my ass. I swear to God. Dude, sounded just like a cow. We were like, oh,

shit. Mr. Everybody's doing the cow noise. A little celeb shot with either basketball or kickball, you know? Dad goes up, he gets around and kicking. That was the original celebrity before they got to high school and college. It was the dad who went out to recess. Can your dad kick for us?

Crazy. Just blast one. Or like one time somebody's dad was the pitcher. and we couldn't like we couldn't even kick off this dude he was throwing heat just bringing it like that yeah like try

like it was it was a whole different ball game and uh yeah no it was kind of fun because it was a challenge because we were blasted I'm like killing the other team then he came in and started pitch like he saw like the lopsided like this team's so he started kind of bringing it

and we couldn't keep up dude and he came back and we're like oh shit he's gonna pitch all like he came back another time we saw him and we're like oh my god this is going to be like a lit recess nothing was better than when you were like really hype for recess the weather was good maybe if you're good in class your teacher was like we might we could stay out an extra 10 minutes do you remember that feel you'd have that's another like original internal clock you'd have your internal clock of you could feel the body language you'd be checking on your teachers

You'd be like, I don't know, man. They're still kind of talking. They're far away from the door. Nobody's made any moves yet. I think we're good. I hate it always looking, though, because it was like at any moment they're going to blow that whistle. I know, I know.

But there were sometimes really like, something might be happening right now. We might have extended recess for God knows what. Because you'd be like, I swear we've been out here for like 35 minutes. Ever. Extended recess. I remember one time they brought us all in, like we were about to, like, we were about to line up and they were like extended recess because it was really nice outside crazy oh really dude it was like a dream back to the kickball diamond so juiced up

teachers haven't having a good time we weren't being bad they're just like one time we had a teacher pitch for us a lot so like wouldn't get out of control she was having fun with it mrs chnell oh wow mrs shnell i didn't think she was like a teacher like that. She was just kind of around. No, dude, that's the best job. I thought she was like an all-time substitute, like always ready on deck. She'd be helping low-key on the side. I was like, she's like a, she's a good job. No pressure. I just remember she used to walk around the lunch tables, dude, and she would get on our ass if we hadn't eaten our lunch. Really? Who's not eating at lunch? You don't remember that?

Dude, if somebody, you know, you get so excited and you're yip yapping and everybody's just kind of talking, telling stories, you know? Dude, Mrs. Snell would come by and she'd be like, she had the meanest look on her face and she just like, you might get busy. Right. I don't see you eat your food, but you better get busy. Okay. She always had like a, she always was kind of had a good sense of humor, I thought. Because I would like say something that might be a little like I might get in trouble and she would laugh. And I'd be like, oh, okay.

She's like kind of about it. I don't know what. She wasn't real teacher. Like real teacher would shut it down. Yeah, right. I guess she could laugh at it. Mm-hmm. Dude, I just remember she was always on our ass about eating our food.

I was like, damn, this is my first time I'm going to talk to my friends today. Can I have 10 minutes to catch him up? You better get busy. You'd be holding it down. She'd always make fun of me about my lunch a little bit. Because sometimes my lunch would be the thing we had for dinner the night before. Because my mom would be like, I'll just. give them some leftovers and it'd be like the craziest stuff.

So I'd be bringing in like a bagel with like turkey tetrazini on it like sandwich. Like and teachers would just be like what is that? It'd be so embarrassing for me for absolutely no reason. Just getting roasted by the teachers about my lunch. I was like, God. Mr. Plytze, what is that? You better get busy.

Okay. After the Super Bowl brought pizza in. Kind of felt a little too cool. You know, stuff for lunch. Did you warm it up? Did we have microwave access or were you just cold pizza that? You just Jay Crawford that. I was too scared to warm it up, dude.

I was like, I don't want to flex on them like that. And plus I don't know how to work the microwave. Do you have to pay? Who do I ask? Where is it? I was like, I'll just eat this pizza room temp. It was gas. Kind of like a shame to eat it.

You know, didn't want to show off. You just know that if you tried the microwave. just wouldn't work. You'd be standing out there by yourself. What's he doing? What's he doing? Yeah. Every girl,

every girl leaning over laughing at you. Oh, sorry I'm warming something up. Why is everything such a big deal when you're in school? I'm like, what, sorry. Oh my God.

Are my pants ripped open? Like, what is the big deal? Yeah, dude, you start to get self-conscious. You're like, something's wrong in my hair.

I got like a shit stain on my ass. What's something? What the hell? Did I piss my pants? I'm literally warming up pizza. everything's so embarrassing. Just standing there. Just standing there waiting for your pizza.

Somebody throw a slushy at the back of my head. So crazy. Nothing's been more embarrassing than standing there. Just standing here. What's wrong? What are you doing? Are you like, what do you do? Just chill out, dude.

Talk to him real quick. Let me warm up my stuff crust. Panthers lost last night and I'm pissed off. It wouldn't be so much the guys. I just remember the girl. Yeah, you'd be like, oh my God. What, Lindsay? What?

Really? Really? So disgusted at you. So disgusted with you. I'm like, sorry. We'd always be begging the girls for money at lunch, dude. Did you guys do that?

The girls always bawled out. They had so much money. I've got, yo, can I have 35 cents real quick? Yeah, literally. Hey, 35 cents that would get you like a Twix bar. A twigs, a slushy. Money went so far. I'm pretty sure a dime got you a slushy.

I promise it was 35 cents, dude. That's burning my brain, yeah. 35 cents. 35. For the red and blue mix, slushy, those are so good. You had to have a better slushy. Probably made it to 50 cents by the time that I was there.

Hey, the cups. This big. Why? Smaller than the small ones that they like have at the doctor's office. I was going to say, yeah. Smaller than a Dixie Cup. We started, all they do is talk about like lunch. We started having Papa John's day.

Do you remember that? I just remember that in high school. We had that. It was insane. I think seventh and eighth grade could get like two slices of pizza for, I don't know. Oh, yeah, during Lent. It was so good. Right?

During Lint, it was like special you get, we had one or two slices. It was unbelievable. And they gave us like lemonade that day. And I was like, this is the best thing I've ever had in my life. It tasted amazing. Yeah, because it wasn't the car, the typical cardboard slice type pizza in a school cafeteria. It was actual pizza. And you could tell us, Papa Johns.

Whoa. It was pizza. Hey, you look behind it. there'd be all those Papa John's boxes stacked up. You're like, we had money like that? No way. Into feed like one grade. It was probably literally like 10 pizzas, maybe less.

Eight. Yeah. And I just saw eight boxes stacked up like, what a day. Then to recess after that, it's Friday. Get out of here, dude. Weather's turning. Ooh, that first hot recess. Weather's turning.

You can smell it in the air, not a reminiscate podcast, but you can smell the good times coming in the air. Kick and catch. Let's play. Man, that's so funny how that was. Yeah, I wonder who was the first that started that where he came from, but everybody did that. Kick and catch?

Yeah. Yeah, I always wondered that too. I'm like, does the grade below us even know what this is? So you stand like 25 yards apart, just a line of people here. It probably felt like that. It was probably like 10 yards apart. Yeah. So we're just pretty much

punting a ball to them. They catch it. They punt it back to us. We try to catch it. Yeah. And it was kind of a flex if you caught it. I remember it was pretty hard. Dude,

that's where fielding punts really started right there. For sure. Why is he so good at tracking down punts kick and catch? You would. You have to track it.

Big dog would come up, you know? You ever throw a kid in your class? Probably not. I probably didn't even know what that was. at that point. It just looks so cool on the NFL prime time.

Yeah, dude, waving down upon it. So cool. Yeah, there's always... Yeah, they would...

Tori Holt. Tori Holt. Just blaze in my head. Just the camera flips. Tori Holt back there just waving. It's so funny. Everybody was the Rams,

White Marshall Falk Rams jersey at the live show. Clean. Clean. Underrated Jim. Hey, we saw a homeboy with the Ricky Williams, R. Williams on the back, Stitch, Dolphins jersey. But what was a

Can't teach that, man. Hey, what did you get for Christmas? Where did I get? Yeah, anything yet? I got like a soccer goalie jersey. Pretty sick. Did you go to Coach Peas on Christmas? Mm-hmm.

Wow. For like two hours, has watched the Vikings and whoever the lions. No, no. It was fun. Yeah. Just went there for a little bit. Went to my sisters beforehand. Did some, you know, ate like four cinnamon rolls.

Yeah, I got a goalie, Nike goalie jersey. And Cincinnati Bearcat shorts. Never mad at that. Never mad at that. Hey, pockets? Yeah, a little too big, though. Got a size down. Sad.

Got to do it. The pockets are too big or the shorts are too big? No, the shorts are too big. I was thinking like they probably run small, get an Excel. I forgot their basketball shorts. A whole different thing. I didn't know how they're making them. I've bought basketball shorts at a minute.

Yeah. They're legit. Happy about it. What did you get? I had to do the, I had a return scenario. God, I returned scenario. It's like cool, but damn it. Yeah, it was on my wife's side, we do a secret Santa because there's a whole bunch of us.

And so each person, it's a literal secret Santa too. It's not like just like one of those. It's like, oh, you're my, we draw at like the beginning of November. And that's your person. You keep it. And so it was my brother-in-law's girlfriend who got me. She got me this sick light up, like neon sign. And it was a Cubs logo, 2016 World Champions, neon bar.

sign. And I like as I was good back there. No, I know. And as I was opening it up, it was like really hard to get out and everything. I was pretty drunk Christmas night. And everybody was kind of like,

we had people who had to leave. Like so it was just kind of like rushed and everything. So I was really trying to get it out there. And like I just a little bit like cracked the plastic. I saw it didn't even break it. Didn't even break it. Just like has the tiniest crack on the edge of this thing. And so I went to plug it in.

And it just flashes on. It doesn't stay on. It just flashes on. So I was like, oh, damn, Kelly. Well, you know, she's like, yeah, we could just return it. I'll get the, and her and my wife were going through everything. I was like, I don't know, just whatever you need for me. I don't know.

I'm sorry, but I want this to turn on. She's like, yeah, absolutely you wanted to turn on. So. But the whole time, I was just thinking like, oh, God, she's never wants to do this. She's never going to do it. I'm never getting that back. Too excited, man. Just never stops, dude.

Never stops. You can be 40 years old, too excited. Breaks it. Christmas excited. I think you'll get a kick out of it. The frozen Christmas. Me and Rye, how does this keep happening every year? But the one day a year that both my kids decide to sleep in is Christmas, of course.

What? There's no way. Christmas Day? I think it's just because like on Christmas Eve you know we're at my grandparents pretty late there's so like there's so much going on so many cousins and I think you know

their little bodies of mine is just they just kind of crash out on Christmas morning at like 7 a.m. We're just staring at my son like hello come on this is the day probably not old enough to like kind of wake up early and no yet.

I think it's like, I think when peak was when I was in like maybe second or third grade, I was like maybe not even sleeping. For sure. I'd wake up every hour like, that happened to me though, dude. I swear every hour and a half on Christmas Eve, early Christmas Eve going into Christmas this year. I don't know if I was just so excited for my kids or what,

but I would. I would wake up at like surely it has to wake up 2.15 a.m. What the hell is going on here? Never, never caught anybody putting anything under the tree. Crazy. I kind of liked it, though. I was kind of like, because it always made me sad when grownups would be like, I love Christmas Eve and Christmas because that means I just get to sleep.

I was like, I don't ever want to do that. I hope I'm always waking up. Just because it's like their day off, you know? Oh, no, man. Nah, never. So it makes me happy that I still kind of wake up on Christmas Eve like that, because I'm like, all right, you know, I'm not fully adult yet still.

I don't think you're ever going to be sleep on Christmas guy. Yeah, but I got some, I got some, I got some, got some ugg slips. Ooh. Yeah. Fuzzy in there.

Yeah, baby. I've been working these suckers in. So that was nice. Oh, shoes. Got to wear shoes in the house. I don't know what happened, but I just can't wear socks in the house anymore. No.

hurts my feet, dude. Harts my back. And I'm like, I want to go to sleep. Like, if I'm wearing shoes in the house, I'm like, I feel like I got to do stuff. I kick my shoes off. I'm like nap o'clock, dude. See, it's not even so I hear what you're saying there. But for me, I don't know if I'm just flat footed or what, but like, start walking around

on my hardwood floor and my kitchen tile and everything. Like, God, my heel hurts. Now my lower back hurt. What is this? I need some, I need some cushion. I need some cozy. You ever step on like one of those mad. that are behind a cash register at like a super center, you know?

They like stand on those big padded. Oh, nothing feels better than that. I want my whole floor in my house to feel like that. It's the, it's, I step on them. I'm just like, immediate relief. Kick the shoes off. Go ahead.

Go ahead, Lori. You, you step aside. I'm going to kick my shoes off here. Just, just playing them for a second. God. Barbers have them to. I'm like, you're so lucky you get to step on that all day. Oh, barber.

That's funny. Yeah. They do. All right. Anyways. Yeah, let's get to the clubhouse. Got a few. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Questions. This is a long one here.

Okay. Subject. Bagels are AFC. Biscuits are NFC. Biscuits do seem NFC a little bit. You know, they're warm. They're hitting the oven. Buttery.

Bagels, I don't know. I can eat bagels raw all day. Hey fellas On last week's episode You're talking about using a nerve vortex football at recess And a kid inevitably running into something he shouldn't Then unlock the core memory for me Even though this isn't a reminiscent podcast

Or a sports podcast, he's right, it's not When I was in fourth grade, my friends and I Always played football at recess Our playground was under construction So recess was in the high school parking lot Which in hindsight feels like an OSHA violation During one game, I went deep for a pass, reached out and caught it for the game-winning touchdown I'd like to add, and immediately ran full speed into a parked car. I landed on the hood, put a sizable dent in it, and set off the car alarm. Absolute chaos.

I get escorted to the high school office. They call over the PA for the owner of the car to turn the alarm off and then come to the office so I can explain what happened. And of course, the car belonged to our varsity star middle linebacker, first team, all state guy. A key part of our state championship team that year and the most intimidating human I'd ever seen. Guy's nickname was ski. So there I am. A chubby little fourth grader explaining to this man why his car now looks like I just did a cannonball in the hood. When I finish, he looks at me for a few seconds and finally says, did you catch it? still completely terrified

I quietly said yes an ad that it was for the game winning touchdown he nods and says that boy he daps me up and as cool as can be says don't worry about it little man I'll fix it after practice most linebacker answer

ever I had a few bruises from the landing but totally worth it to this day it's one of my favorite school memories can't wait to be at these guys live will wow I'm gonna cry bro Is that Willie V?

Is that? I think that was Clubhouse. Yeah. Yeah. Willie V. Let's go. Oh, that's him? Oh.

Oh. Oh, yeah. Dude, what a story. Hey, and great. That was really easy to read. I don't know, maybe I'm just having a good reading day. But it was well put together. Bro.

Man, I was waiting. That was a hell of a story in an all-time memory. I was waiting for you to drop the bomb at the end. that the linebacker was Luke Keekely. Oh my God. Or like A.J. Hawk or something. Like I was waiting for that to be like, turns out that guy ended up being,

holy shit. Yeah, it turns out it was Vaughn Miller's car. What? He's wearing a cowboy hat. Oh, my God. Yeah, actually, that linebacker, Lance Briggs. Oh, my God. See, that would be.

be terrifying though. He's got to be this wait, wait, wait. No, no, no, no. What's his face? Hey, that linebacker, Terrell Suggs. I'd be like, oh, he was the scariest guy of all time to me. Yeah. Terrell Suggs, Chiefs.

Foof. Weird. LaShawn McCoy, Buccaneers. Huh? Hey, Tom Brady's on the Buccaneers. Who wants to be on that team? Everybody in the world. Everybody. Title, Washington State flag guy. These guys, when BP was talking about what he thought the inside of the Washington

State flag guy's house would look like, it reminded me of an earth-shattering moment for me that happened in 2018. I was a sophomore at Texas A&M when Clemson came to town for a week two game. And so did ESPN College Game Day. Me and a buddy decided to camp out all night to be one of the first in line. In around 4 a.m., I saw it with my own eyes. O'Crimson. as someone who watched college game day every single Saturday growing up and still do this was a big deal to me my friend and I very much had a Joey Benny dynamic in this moment I was starstruck and he didn't care at all I did what I had to do I walked up to the Washington state fly guy and said I'm sorry to bother you but I had to come over when I saw you

I see you every week and I would love to shake your hand God what a guy he shook my hand then looked me right in my 19 year old face and crushed my soul he'd broke the news to me that there's not just one Washington State flag guy. They shipped a flag around the country each week and someone from the nearest Washington State University alumni chapter picks it up and shows up to Game Day with it. I don't really know why I thought it would have been one guy. Game Day never features the guy. They only say it's the flags, 367th consecutive game day appearance. Oh, well, I saw it. Yes, Benny. It's real. Do either of you guys have any moments like this where your world was shattered, but afterwards you felt dumb for believing something in the first place?

Love to, come to Dallas, please. Sent from my Verizon LG NV2. God. Envy. Yeah. I was, I was, I'm glad that I let that ride there because I was about to say if he wouldn't have told the rest of that, nice. If he wouldn't tell the rest of that, I would have said it's actually not just one guy. I definitely thought it was one guy.

I thought it was one guy for sure. Yeah, because you can see there's, they have highlighted stories like that where somebody will travel to each bold destination or something. You know what I mean? They're like, this couple has come to every single, but it's not the guy. It's just the flag.

If there was just one guy going to college game day every single week, imagine that life. Yeah, I know. Hey, can we be those guys? It's the most random school. Oh, those are the two lane guys. Something that you, that shattered your belief. Oh, man.

I know I've got one, but I can't really think. I can't really think of one right now. Coming off Christmas, one for me is the fact that Home Alone was filmed inside a high school gym. Huh? Like they built the set for the inside of that house Inside a high school gym And so whenever they're inside that house The McAllister house

It's a set inside a gym It's not an actual house Dang man they make it look so believable, don't they? Isn't that crazy? How the hell? Yeah God, dang it just how do they even do that?

It just looks like they're in such a house. And they're just showing the front of the house every so often. And then doing, oh my God, I'm such an idiot. Dude, I thought when like the local news is on and they have like the city behind them, I thought that was the real city my whole life. Like, you know, you see like cars and lights. And I'm like, man, they got the best spot in the city to do this news, like the news. I know. I'm like, where do they even do that? It's just a green screen.

Yeah. Broke my heart, man. And I still kind of think it's real when I look. And then I got to tell myself, hey, it's just a screen brother in some basement. How about similar with local news? You know, when you're watching Sunday night football or Monday night football. Most depressing thing. And all of a sudden during the commercial break, A local Ray Skilman commercial will show up or the Petermans or something. You'd be like, for the longest time, I'd be like, man, they must be paying a pretty penny to have this on Sunday night football. I thought the same thing, bro. One time one of those local joints popped on during the Super Bowl and I was like, family leisure's got it like that. Oh, pool tables, pools.

I was like I've seen family leisure before I've driven by it and they got a top spot during the Super Bowl after Usher Yeah and you're kind of like Billiards

Why would people in Texas Need to know about Peterman HVAC though I'd still got to be a good Like slot though Like it's still How did you get up in there? Yeah then you're out of town

And you're watching Thursday night football And you're like Wait a second who are these Peter's son HVAC guys those aren't my guys

what the hell's going on here Oh Macchiados Dodge dealer I don't know who the hell that is There's local and national breaks Oh okay That's why they say

After your local After a word from your local sponsors Oh They don't time it up, right? The commercial is a little shorter than the commercial that's supposed to be covering, you know? So your local commercial ends and you see like the last two seconds of a real commercial, you're like, do they just overwrite that? Or when they just absolutely cut off the people who are talking.

And we'll be back after a quick 30 second spot from your... Ray Scalman, Chevrolethe. Ray Scalman. Hey, hey, comment. Comments on YouTube. comment your car dealership guy in your local town that you'll never forget his name

I just want to know I could name all of them I think Ben Toyota Tom Wood Ray Skilmet Dude all Tom Roush A pussycat on price Oh what's the Honda guy

He was a wacky dude I liked him Bob Roorman Bob Roorman The mascot was like a lion I was like let's go Yeah Yeah, hey, we might have a little Indiana high school name situation here.

Oh, hey, yep, who's your car dealership guy? Name them in the comments. I cannot wait to hear it. I cannot wait to just say everyone in the car dealership voice. The guy, the guy that on Sunday night football, when they're getting ready to come back from halftime, they have a 30 second slot that kind of cuts off Mike Florio talking. and it gets your local dealership, that guy, that one. Tom Wood.

All good at Tom Wood. Tom Roush, a pussycat on price. Bob Roeman. Yep. There's so many good ones. Those are some pretty good ones that we ripped out there about like what smash something that you thought was one way. I'm proud of us for that because at the beginning I couldn't think of anything.

Local news green screen There's some more Just keep going on these emails Title Dad lingo Hold on hold on Okay How about when

When you're younger Like I don't know Third through fifth grade maybe And you're around some parents Who are Acting goofy You realize later on that they were just drunk as shit.

I don't really know. I couldn't really identify it. I remember a few where they'd be like, and you'd even kind of ask sometimes, they'd be like, oh, they're just being, they're just being really goofy. Like, wow.

Their dad's pretty wild. Yeah, he had a couple. He had a couple funny, funny coax. Do you see him like the next day or like that Sunday at the football game and he's back to just being this most straight.

narrow arms cross you're like he was he was like laughing and being wild the other night why is he mean now what happened at the parents meeting in the atrium he was just hammered

the Colts party in the atrium oh he had five whiskey sours and four Mikalob Ultras in an hour and a half's time frame oh okay we had practice They had the Colts party

PTAI party Whatever that was What the hell's going on in there, dude I was always like Did the PTI get their names From that league Ha ha ha PTI

Another podcast We bring up PTI Not a local podcast All right, sorry, go ahead Dad Lingo What's up boys Longtime listener first time emailer my sister

went to a Catholic high school and played basketball in a tiny gym with a stage of course every year they would play a school called Mon Signor Monseigneur Are you sure? It's not spelled like that at all

Maybe it's Mon Senior Haddad and would lose by at least 40 to 50 so my dad rightfully deemed it the Mon Senior Hadad ass whoopin. Now every time a team gets blown out no matter of the sport we always say they got the mon senior Haddad it's something I'll say for the rest

of my life but no one besides me and my dad will ever understand curious if you guys have any moments or phrases like this that only you and your friends will understand love the pod convinced we had the same childhood because we did smack my ass with a smelly

mesh penny from 1975 that has that has lived in the gym closet next to the rubber dodger Ball's best Brian sent from my iPod touch texting app that I would use the text people after my mom took my phone for the night wow same guy that was Marshall Falk Brian oh yeah can finish our sentences um yeah he had got he felt like you're getting away with something big time with the iPod touch oh yeah how you're I didn't know when you're all of a sudden just like, yeah, you can go ahead, take my phone.

Hold up. That was a little too easy. I could never really figure it out on the iPod touch. I was like, it was a little, you had to put some time in, but I was put time in when I was 15. Oh, brother.

All you had was time, dude. God, I'll never forget. You did that too? So your parents took your phone and then you just went in on iPod Touch texting? They didn't take my phone, but I think I think there was something

that they could do probably still can do where they could put restriction or they could put restriction on the hours or something that I could use so I think

I think like my phone would stop being able to text at like 10 or something like that or the girl I was talking to had that and the only way that she could only receive I like the texting app

messages not phone messages. Crazy. See, you would ask for an iPod Touch for Christmas just so you can hit up that girl. That's so crazy. I remember when I got an iPod touch. It was on some random shit.

Like, I think my mom, it was one of those things you ever have where your family, like your parents, like something would happen to you either like you had to miss out on something or something would happen to you and like your parents would surprise you with something to like, you know, cheer you up.

Dang. Yeah, probably. But I was always like, what's going on? Like, what do I have to do now? I'm pretty sure it was when I, I messed up my shoulder. I broke the shit out of my clavicle. Going into my sophomore year of high school and I wasn't really going to be able to play football that year. And I was like devastated. And I think my mom went out. You know, I'm pretty sure that's what it was. She saw how like depressed I was and was like, here's a little. some to get you through. Wow. Pretty sure. It was sick.

That's nice. Yeah. It's going to ruin your life, but here you go. It's going to make you a lot farther from the goals you want to achieve, but here you go. Complete distraction. It's all yours. Same here,

road, and the same thing. you know what? She was just trying to make her baby boy happy. Dad lingo like that. Shit, yeah. I mean, that's our whole show,

essentially, is like maybe not dad lingo, but everything we talk about is just... Yeah. It's a good call, though. What I mean? Me and my dad call the coin toss, the toin cost every time.

Because, like, who's not saying toin cost? It sounds right to me. Like, I say coin toss to another person, I have to think about it for like 25 seconds. I'm like coin toss. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Toy toss, yeah.

I don't know. That's like a, there's other ones, I think. Instead of a stiff arm, we have stick off. You and your dad said that? Because I was watching, we were watching, I think the Iron Bowl like over 10 years ago. It's just one of those things where you're, you're, it's an iron bowl. Oh, my bad, my bad, my bad. Yeah.

Dumbass. It's one of those where your mind, you're talking, but your mind just kind of shuts off. And so I was meaning to say a stiff arm, but for some reason I said stick off. So my dad and sister was still, every now and then drop that. Yep. Stick off them. Come on. Give me a stick off.

Yeah. And it was a pretty good stick off. There's one right there. Every time a ball touches a great. You got to rip one every day. Just had to get them out. Morning routine. Get ready with me for a football Sunday.

First thing I do, I wake up and say, get around, get around. Seven times in a row. We should do that for the next these guys live. Keep ready for me for these guys live. It's all that shit. Get about, get them out, get them out. Whole entire crowd.

Oh, dude, that's when you know it's real. We do it these guys live and everybody in the audience is screaming, get a ball at the top of their lungs. How about that family not even knowing that we just talk about them every single day? Like, oh my God. Like your dad is the core of our podcast. They'll never know. Hey, I'll all say is that these guys live in Chicago last week, the entire Zanis comedy club at one point was all singing beautiful girls by Sean Kingston together.

That was a moment. Never forget. So just saying, that could be you at the next. next these guys live wherever, whenever it may be. John Kingston. Is he dead? All right. Next one. Noah Eagle's hairpiece.

So, fellas, happy bull season. I had a rate bowl the other night. And for 20 minutes was trying to figure out why the Miami Dolphins were playing in a bowl game until I realized it was in New Mexico State. Until I realized it was New Mexico State. Don't know what they were. going for with those uniforms. Also, Sunday night

football, AFC, Monday night football at NFC. Also, Jalen Brunson, Kyler Murray, same guy. Brent Venables, Kalin DeBoer, same guy. Kirby Smart, Bob Stoops. Same guy. Wow. Wow.

I like where your head's at. Me too. I think we dug those in Mexico Unis. I like it. It's like a tribal. Might have been the best bowl everything so far. The game aesthetic.

Ooh, yeah. We need to make color on color games like a thing. Who's ever mad at that? Like the home and away. Yeah, that's what you do for bowl games. Every bowl game is just color on color. Unless it's like reasonably, you know what I mean? Unless Georgia's playing Alabama, obviously.

Right. Two different colors. Come on. Let's go. Get freaky. it should be like they're in the regular season too why not what are we doing?

Sunday night AFC Monday night NFC that's a tough one because I don't really know Sunday night it's just so crazy because I'm like

I don't care about Monday night football but today I'm like who plays tonight or like you know like I'm just like looking for a little just a little sliver of hope on a Monday We got the Birmingham ball going on as we speak

Who's playing? Going to get flipping on after this I know that Have to Yeah Georgia's southern Appalachian State Monday night football

I do NFC Because Sunday night football I feel like It's always like in a control climate or a warmer climate but Monday night football I think of Monday night football I think of like

Soldier Field kind of breaking up a little bit what did you say sorry I think of like Soldier Field for Monday night football for for Monday night yeah bigger stage it is a bigger stage on Monday night football football without a T obviously the same guys were good too Venables and DeBoar Yeah Smart and Stoops

Just the visors Vizor gang God Bob Stoops put visors on I promise He was the first guy to wear a visor Steve Spurrier He was good with it too Wow that might have been him

It might have been him I miss Steve Spurier Michigan Michigan Hey Michigan got a new coach Who is he? Hey Steve Spurrier Is he dead?

Is he dead? How does he just fall off the face of the earth? He was the pinnacle of football for a while. Football without a tee. Football, you're really diving into football today. Oh, yeah. Football.

Steve Springer, Gators head coach forever, the Florida Gator. And then he went to the NFL or was it NFL before Florida? Florida, NFL, South Carolina. Oh, what a run. old coach

it's always weird best nickname ever but it's always weird when a coach will go so you'll have a legendary coach like that who's so known for one place

but then they'll go in their second stent and that university is a little bit worse probably a lot of bit worse but then they're so fired up about it right like Bob Knight then you get Spock yeah Texas Tech Bob Knight

huh Steve Spreier Florida South Carolina of Florida? Huh? You're kind of rooting for him a little bit, though? You're rooting for him for sure, right? Like, you're all, I'm deep down, I'm like, yo, I hope they kind of win it.

Like, I hope he's still got it. But I just feel like it's always, it's always way more pizzazzed for not enough pizuzuzuz. Like, it's just because that university and that program's like, oh my God,

we have this guy. This is our guy now. Oh, my God. They're never really. really gonna. Yeah. South Carolina Spurrier was cool, though. All black jerseys. Yeah.

Was he coaching when Clownie made that hit? It's a good question. I think he was coaching for like the Stephen Garcia, Marshawn Latimore days, I think, or not Marshawn Latimore. Yeah. Yeah. Marcus Latimore.

Sorry, excuse me. Sad. Steve Sparger. watch the highlight. Still won't watch the highlight. Nah, I don't want to find out. Yeah, Noah Eagle, though, a lot of hair die. Almost fake hair.

These guys, subfellas, love the pod, don't ever stop. It's the only one I've listened to daily for over two years now. This is like my eighth time emailing, but I was recently talking with my wife about nostalgia and it got me wondering, what season or time of the year gives you the most inevitable nostalgia? for me it's without a doubt summer due to all the baseball games and practices i had the summer

hold on baseball game in practices i had in the summer vacation memories playing withle ball in gta san andreas i also happen to have met my wife during the summer vacation when i was 15 so every time it's summer in that evening golden sun is shining the smells and the sights always take me back to the simpler days of the 2000s summer and I miss it. Slat my ass with a fresh copy of NCAA 06 March Madness with Raymond Felton on the cover. God!

Jimmy, the guy in the Brett Farr of Jersey of the show. Dude, yeah. Some about summer nights. You're just like, miss it, dude. Sorry we didn't get to this in the live show. Yeah, I think there's two separate times for me. I think that really just the Christmas season

like right after Thanksgiving beginning of December all this shit comes flooding back of Christmas parties at school Christmas concerts at school just so much fun man a hypeness of Christmas break like when it's first there

you got so many possibilities It could CYO tournaments, Christmas tournaments, you know. So much going on. And then, weirdly, like the beginning of August,

because it's back to school. Yeah. And when you have that kind of changing of, you know, you can just kind of smell it in the air, you hear the cicadas. all of a sudden I'm back in like fifth grade. Yeah, that was a heavy, heavy time when you're a kid going back to school.

I'm, what the hell? Just never forget that feeling. And you still get it. Yeah, you still get it. August what? What is it? Like August, like 12th to 18th rolls around. I'm like, hmm.

Yeah. Got to get my Kleenexes and my paper towels ready. Were we the only ones that had to bring that to school on the first day? Oh, yeah. Like stuff. for the class like, yeah,

I was like, this is kind of crazy. I got to fit two Kleenex boxes in my backpack and carry two paper towels up. I'm like, you guys can't, all right,

well, it was on our list. Open up your book bag, the Kleenex box just all mangled and bent up. Just throw them in the back. The school list, dude,

Oh, shit we got science fair oh no wow don't want that day to come that's calculator got to have like a bigger better calculator i'm like oh my god math equations what's the point hey pro tractor ooh that sucked when he saw that on there what was the other one compass compass i was like what do we even do in this here i don't want to know hopefully we don't bring that

Hopefully it's just on there, you know, like they copy and paste it from last year. Hopefully we're not busting out the compass anytime soon. How about when that day came and you needed your compass and you're like, I used that pencil when I lost the pencil for your compass. I've been using that.

I was used that in social studies. Taking notes for social studies with that. Yeah, I was pretending. to kill my friends with that two periods ago. I stabbed an entire hole through my desk. I etched my name in my desk with that. I'm not going to use it for homework. Never use it for anything real.

Never. I refuse. I was like, this is not math. This is something I'll never use in real life. Yeah, dude. Yeah, I've been using that every day. Every day of my grown-up life, always need a compass. The old circle to get you around. Make you got your measurements right
