You've been seeing that thing on the internet where they're trying to change like,
Starting point is 00:01:07 like what if every city, city's teams have the same colors? Like Pittsburgh? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:17 I don't think it works. No. That's why it's cool. That's why it's cool for Pittsburgh because it's so unique and rare. And also the pie. And also it's not, too. Like the Steelers, they're black and gold, but their helmet, they got a little freaky, they get a little freaky with the little diamonds or whatever.
Starting point is 00:01:41 And the pirates, like red's one of their colors. You know, like they're not just black and gold. I think, dude, I think the pirates have the best little color way in baseball. Yeah, it's not just black and gold, but the mainstay, if you showed up to anyone, If you went to PPG, if you went to PNC, if you went to Heinz, you can wear a penguin's jersey to stretch it out. You can wear a penguin's jersey or a sweater or whatever they call them. But yes, they have that little bit of accent.
Starting point is 00:02:10 But the penguins, too, they have like a little bit of blue. Have you seen that? No. That merch that they have? I love that. Penguins are a blue? I had a Pins hat. Had it.

The Discord is going through some TG hot takes, and their Discord is the best. The best group chat ever comes to life. Got to get in. I got a hot take. TG Discord changed my life.
Starting point is 00:04:38 I don't even think that's a hot take. I think that's just right on the money. I think that's just straight down the middle, 93 mile an hour fastball. Honestly, the biggest comfort zone I've ever been in my life, TG Discord. It feels really good. Just a place you can go. 2 a.m. I'm like, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:04:55 What are we talking about? And it's, and like, you know, when you're talking to your friend and it doesn't matter, like, what point of life you're in and you, like, say something to them and you're always at the same. Just every single thing somebody sends in there, like, it's just boom, on the money. Really is. Really impressive stuff. Really fun. Jumping.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Jumping. So download that. Download the Discord app. Get on that channel. It's in all our bios everywhere. We post about it. We'll send the invite out there. Um, my dad's in there.
Starting point is 00:05:28 No, uh, yes. When I feel lonely, TG, TG Discord. Trying to get your dad in there. Get Coach P in there. Oh my God. That'd be sick.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Hey, everything he posts in there. Uh, everything he posts in there is just, well, any food be. No, just like every,
Starting point is 00:05:50 every three or four days. Any food be? Motivational quotes. like every every every like yeah once a day in the morning you send some shit hold on let me look at it let me try to find something
Starting point is 00:06:05 success and persistence are the result of keeping a strong inner core just that just every like did he really just send you that he sent you that's I tell him to send me that stuff all the time so coach
Starting point is 00:06:21 so coach he's got a million of them bro Oh my God. Just living and dying by those. Hey, how many different ways can a coach try to motivate people? You know, I mean, I got to tip my cap to him because they keep trying to come up with things. But you're almost running out. What do you say to these people?
Starting point is 00:06:40 What do you say to your team? Nobody wants to do anything. Coaches are just trying, trying so hard. Writing stuff on the walls, dude, in the locker room just to get anybody to do anything. Just, Jesus. Be aggressive. If you ever see a college locker room, there's just words everywhere. Attack.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Excellence. Just, yeah, all the adjectives they wanted to be described as. Hungry. Attack with an, I always won with an exclamation point. All the other words just have a single word. Then there's one that will have the exclamation point. Win! Dude, it's always win.
Starting point is 00:07:18 I'm like, no shit. Win. B-500. Okay. Hey, best one ever though. Best one ever. Not a reminiscent local podcast. Ron Colley Blockhouse, Circa 08.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Three and seven, question mark. Oh, that was a... Who wrote that? I feel like that's what we would do. Bro, I don't know. It might have been the senior class. It might have been sombo. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:45 But I just never forget. There was a bunch of those different words painted. And then there was just because the year before you guys went three and seven. And so it was just three and seven question mark? Like, that's acceptable. we have a higher standard than three and seven I kind of think that was us that did that because we were doing some like non-traditional things
Starting point is 00:08:04 because like you know the senior class every year gets to redo you were there so you're just like you know not Twitter bird yeah like okay not homepage crib I could not wait to redo the inside of the blockhouse it was like the reason I played football it's like yo when I was a freshman I was like yo
Starting point is 00:08:26 when I'm a senior, this whole place is going to change. And I'm not talking about the culture. I'm just repainting the inside of the locker room. Yeah. Couldn't wait. First day, stepped in there, just repainted all over this like Jesus crucifix thing. I was like, absolutely not. I was like, yo, this is the weirdest thing to have in here.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Yeah, 2008 instead of that, you just put a, you just put a picture of. Trappaholics. Yeah. No, it's just Troy Palomalo flying over the line of scrimmage. That's what I'm talking. about right there. Oh shit. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:09:04 those different words. I was watching a, something showed up on ESPN or SEC network or something. And it was, an inside access look at Florida, Florida football. I would watch that until I did.
Starting point is 00:09:22 There's their new coach, Summerall or whoever. And they had the footage of him talking to the guys, after practice and it was just, you know, it wasn't bad, but to my point, it was just, hey, every day, are we got to come out here, every day,
Starting point is 00:09:37 it's got to be at this level. It's got to be at a championship level. It can't be right here. We can't be middle and around every day. It's got to be a championship level. Just like, dude, every, I mean, these guys, it's just the same. You got, it's just regurgitated time and time again.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Can't get enough of it. What are you going to do? What are you going to do? Yeah, so we got the Discord. Join that. We threw in the Discord. This is, again, like we said, a little bit of early access stuff that maybe people will get over there on the Discord channel and that community. We threw in there a little flyer, a little promo for Indiana Land 500.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Now we talked about it last week, but they saw it first. And so just a reminder again, Discord saw at first. Just a reminder again, May 23rd, 2 to 6, downtown Indianapolis, 10 roof, me, Johnson, DJ Seabuck. Who knows will show up, you know? I mean, we've had, we've had NFL players show up before. We've had NBA players, probably race car drivers. Who knows? People show up.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Me and Ben were talking. And he was like, yeah, I mean, because I saw the different drink recommendations you guys have. Great. Absolutely awesome. Definitely taking into consideration. Palomalo punch. Oh. He was like, yeah, I don't know how much a clubhouse will go.
Starting point is 00:10:56 I was like, one, you have plenty of clubhouse who's local to Indy. But two, again, like we said last week, and we'll continue to say, like clubhouse travels. So, yeah, maybe five of you, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was like 35 of you. So just reminded you again, put it on the calendar. If you can make it, make it, we'll party. We'll have fun.
Starting point is 00:11:12 It'd be a great time. So Indiana and drink names. We need to think of those right now. Palomalu Punch. Flacco fluid. We got to have like honey, huntie. Or just the Humpty.
Starting point is 00:11:37 That's got to be there. The hunting. Also, Hunty table is just waters. No, me and Ben did talk about the hydration station. Oh, my. It's just a table of three Gatorade coolers.
Starting point is 00:11:56 The way, the one where you press that button. That shit comes out so fast. You're like, oh, Man, yeah. I got about two seconds. So coaches yelling at me.
Starting point is 00:12:11 No cups. You just got a drink from the actual spout of the Gatorade cooler. That was crazy to me. I was like, I didn't expect us to have cups, but like every single guy on our team like awkwardly going up to this gatorade thing. Yeah. In full pads, dude.
Starting point is 00:12:29 And some people wouldn't even take their helmet off. I talk. Freshman football. Yeah, who wouldn't take their helmet off? Gerbach. Gerbach wouldn't take his helmet off. Stay strapped up! You kiss-ass, Gerbach.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Shut up. Gerbach was born to be a captain, dude. He was the guy that was a captain on your freshman team that you did. You're like, him? You know, there's always a captain on your freshman football team, and you're like, I didn't even, I didn't even know if he was going to play or not. Maybe it's me. No, it's me.
Starting point is 00:13:13 That was my bed. We didn't go out there. and my mic went out. My bad. My bad. We're all good. Everything was, it was,
Starting point is 00:13:22 I mean, he did it absolutely 100% to the T the way the coach wanted to do it. It wasn't a jog to the drill. It was an absolute sprint. He's first in line.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Never took the helmet off. Never even unstrapped the helmet until it was, hey, bring it up and then you could take a knee on strap. He barely did it then. That's why Gerbach was a lineback.
Starting point is 00:13:40 That's why Gerbach was a linebacker, but that's also why Gerbach was a captain. Gerbach bringing all the equipment in. For sure. Gerbach. Helmets still on. Running off the field with two bags after practice. He's already kind of bow-legged.
Starting point is 00:13:58 So you're like waddling back and forth. Do we need to pick up the equipment? Like it didn't even cross your mind. You're like, Gerbach's got it, dude. Gar-back's got it. It almost came to a point where you were thankful for Gerbach, but it was kind of detrimental because you're like, we kind of really are lazy
Starting point is 00:14:16 and don't do shit because Gerbach does it all. Just your your tool shed player bro. Gerbach's football drip socks pulled high and tight dude socks pulled high and tight
Starting point is 00:14:34 all the way up. Nike Landshark cleats Oh dude I wasn't going to go with high socks I was going to go with you know what I was picturing just the most notion show ankle socks with like chunky Adidas cleats. Two different socks on. Gerbach socks never matched.
Starting point is 00:14:52 He didn't care. His mom didn't have the patience. Gritty mom. No, but he didn't play football to be, it's not a fashion show. Like he really, he really believed in that. The coaches, that's another reason why the coaches were like, we got to have Gerbach leading the way. You know, Pulitzer Molinaro, they got to, uh, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:12 have their bands and their arms and their arms. their gloves. Plitsey's trying to bring Pfizer out. He's 14. Gerbach's, they're just like, dude, you got to be like Gerbach. We're out here to look good. We're out here to,
Starting point is 00:15:23 to play our ass off. Attack. Ask Gerbach why he plays, you know? His answer, I like hitting people. Yeah, 100%.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Nothing more, nothing less. Nothing more, nothing less there. We're like,
Starting point is 00:15:44 yeah but like it's kind of feels cool like probably like you know girls like yeah a little bit this is pre this is this is this is this is pre summer party gerbach that happens like two or three years later gerbach gerbach at this point he's like you know he's like aniken Skywalker and attack of the clones like before pod may he just like he's just locked and loaded you know he's he's there to he's there to do business and then all of a sudden Podme comes around I hate to see it dude Cut off Gerbach goes to date night
Starting point is 00:16:23 Gerbach so quick And you're just like what happened What happened to our boy I got brought up in Discord What what what what's the What's the storyline for Gerbach After that girl that he followed to college Breaks up with them
Starting point is 00:16:39 Because there's really only two outcomes for Gerbach So like in college Gerbach Post breakup or out of college Gerbach post break up? Pose breakup. In college, because here's what I'm thinking. There's two outcomes. One is what we discussed,
Starting point is 00:16:59 where Gerbach and Sophie are still together, their junior year college. He's super hunty. He's ring shopping. Like it's about to happen. She's like, has her nails done constantly because it could happen at any time she wants to be ready,
Starting point is 00:17:12 you know, for the pictures, for the pictures. For that. That's the one outcome. second one Gerbach follows Sophie they go to school together
Starting point is 00:17:26 have their ups and downs their freshman year but they really like they love each other and they're gonna work through it they're gonna make it happen but then like summer after freshman year
Starting point is 00:17:36 everybody goes back home Sophie's starting to feel a little bit more free Gerbach starts hanging on tighter right God don't do that don't do that Gerbach don't bro
Starting point is 00:17:46 play it cool oh no all of a sudden get a little desperate Gerbach starts getting a little desp. You're starting to see Sophie pop up. She's posting pictures of just herself on Instagram. Wait a second.
Starting point is 00:17:59 When you start to sniff out a girl that's about to get out of a relationship on Instagram, man, isn't it so obvious? Hey, Gerbach starts. You just see one picture and you're like, oh, what happened to them, you know? You're like, uh, selfie's on the market. Trading block. You're talking to each other. You're talking to each other.
Starting point is 00:18:21 you're like has Gerbach been hitting you up a little bit more recently? Like yeah actually funny you said that because like you know he's just so locked in
Starting point is 00:18:32 but kind of recently he's been like wanting to do a little bit more stuff yeah like now that you say that and then you see that you're like oh Gerbach sent me a what you on last Friday night
Starting point is 00:18:44 and I just like blew it off because he never he always flakes for Sophie so I was just like whatever thought so Sophie has been like, I don't know, on a family vacation or visiting her aunt somewhere or something, you know. We go back out of night. He had a bye week.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Gerbach got a bye week. And we were just. So then that's why. So then they go back to school their sophomore year. And by this point, Sophie's got a fake ID. Sophie wants to go out. Oh, no, dude. Sophie, hey, here's a plot twist.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Sophie got him out of playing football in college. Sophie, getting a little too close with the football. house at school. I was thinking the basketball house. Oh, yeah. No, hold up, hold up, hold up. The baseball house. No, don't say it.
Starting point is 00:19:36 What the hell? Sophie's been hanging out at the baseball house with her new friend group. Let's just go to this party. Oh, man. But then, hey, post another picture. She's like, you know, in the outfield at the baseball stadium, you know, just her.
Starting point is 00:19:51 comment from the shortstop on the baseball team. Hey, what's he say? What's he say? Something so cryptic. Something like, something like, something just like, okay, okay. That's it. Not, not anything overtly like fire emojis or like, just something that you're like, I'm so done. Gerbach punching the fucking hole in a wall.
Starting point is 00:20:30 You're the biggest hold of one I've ever seen at his college house. Picture of Sophie in the back of a truck pulled up in the outfield. Comment. Our number one fan or something. You're like, oh, no. Yeah, it's like day drink at the baseball house. Oh, wearing the jersey. Oversized jersey.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Looks hotter than ever. You're like, dude. Then me and you, though, we're like, oh, like, I hope Gerbach's taking this. All right, man. know they're pretty serious. It's so over. So over, bro. Then you see Gerbach at like, you see him at like a local college bar, like B-dubs or something.
Starting point is 00:21:27 And he's just down and out. He's like there by himself. You're like, B-dubs. Got to me the saddest place in the history of the world is B-dubs, dude. You're going to beatups when there's not a lot of people in there. You're like, okay. Uh-huh. Can I get this to go?
Starting point is 00:21:46 The smell of beat-ups when no one's there. You're like, just smells like, just smells like your girlfriend broke up with you for the shortstop. That really is where every guy goes after the girlfriend breaks up with them, beat-ups. So then from that point, then from that point,
Starting point is 00:22:07 it really crumbles. And like, like she's fully, you know it's over. And like Gerbach's trying to tell you that like, no, we might like she's, you know, she's just like, she's like, what's to. Gerbach's going to go, go, Gerbach's going to the baseball house to like hang out with her still. He's hanging on. Hey, we're going to this party.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Like, you can come if you want, Sophie. Gerbach goes with her to the baseball house. Hey, gets in a fight. Oh yeah. For sure. That's what I was going to say. Something. Something.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Something horrible happens, a total breakdown by Gerbach. He gets blitzed out of his mind. It starts to show up like freshman sophomore year. Like I just like hitting people. Gerbach starts showing up again. Like the bowl has been unleashed. This is no longer, there's no longer Aeropausal comb over hunting.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Or we have reverted back. We've come full 180 or full 360, full circle here to the evolution of Gerbach. We're getting our girl back, Bach. So we're not, we're like not too mad about it. You're like, oh, dude, that was that I heard about that. That was not good. You know, because he gets like kicked out, probably gets a shit kicked out of him.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Probably hurts another kid, like puts him in the hospital. But then he's just outnumbered in a situation like that. So he gets hurt. He hurts somebody. Legal issues. So he's kind of just going off the deep end. He's got a huge cut on his hand because it went through the coffee table. glass coffee table
Starting point is 00:23:40 or not the glass coffee table but he like maybe he had like a 40 like a glass 40 and he like slammed it over some baseball player's head I was talking shit to him about Sophie and torn open wrapped up next time you see him
Starting point is 00:23:57 what happened bro I was moving furniture and smash my hand in the door make something up lies but your other buddy's over there is like I'll tell you later you know text you that's not what happened. I'll tell you when Gerbach leaves.
Starting point is 00:24:14 He tried to steal the third baseman's dip and they got in a fight. He saw Sophie sitting on the lap of the shortstop and it just set him off. Oh my God. Why is it so real? Why is it a baseball house a reality TV show? Dude, let's make a, let's produce a reality TV show and just call it the baseball house. Baseball house? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Just every guy. every guy my hair yeah my hair my hair your body bluest eyes
Starting point is 00:24:51 you ever seen okay get why you're a dick fine so many so many accessories like tall for no reason
Starting point is 00:24:58 too I'm like you should not be six four like dude I hate I hate him guys are tall
Starting point is 00:25:04 for no reason I'm like God he's tall but he also runs like a 5-760 yard dash you're like
Starting point is 00:25:11 oh God oh, okay. So you're just the best athlete of all time. His shoulders, too. They should have been on Mel's best shoulders. Hey, he's got your necklace on, no shirt, backwards baseball hat. Biggest sunglasses you've ever seen. But they're not aviators. They're like the baseball.
Starting point is 00:25:29 He's wearing his baseball sunglasses. Always. Just like leaning on a, leaning on his wood bat. Why is he always a transfer from a D1 school to? I try to. Oh, I can't. Play that Missouri, but... He wasn't feeling it.
Starting point is 00:25:50 He uses his bat to, like, direct orders at the party. You just see him in the corner, and he's just like, you, you're a fucking pussy. No, you're a, no, okay, set this up. You two, stop being a bitch and set this up. Just use that as, like, his orchestrator. Dude, but you know what? I hate to say it.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Sorry, brippy girls. Sorry, ladies. The villain arc here is kind of on Sophie. Oh, yeah, but nobody will say that. You know what I mean? No, no one's changed. She transformed him. She transformed him, shaped him into this guy that was at the prom pictures and they got professional prom pictures.
Starting point is 00:26:28 This is every girl. They didn't come. They didn't come. Gerbach didn't come to our, we had like 12 different guys in their dates, you know, out by the pool getting pictures like all just fucking around. His mom got, you know, Kudoba catering in for like whatever before we go to prom. Cool. Gerbach didn't come because him and Sophie had to go to like a park. just them to and do like basically engagement photos for prom.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Because that's what, hey, that's what. Gerbach's sideburns. Because that's what Sophie wanted, right? They had this whole, they had dual graduation parties. Whoa. Oh, no. God. What a setup for failure.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Dual graduation parties. Guy and girl couple. Hey, so you're proposing? or what's that happened before? Yeah. Guy and girl? Yeah. Oh, I would kill myself.
Starting point is 00:27:27 No way. Dude, the graduation parties that were like a triple threat and it was all your boys, maybe one of them, not so much, like their cousin.
Starting point is 00:27:36 You know? It's like, oh, that graduation party's about to be heat. You know, you like get the invite. Oh, it's at German park too.

Starting point is 00:30:23 I was just going to complete the Sophie villain arc here Because she did all that It was all her plan She really wanted And he fell for it Like he fell in love with her He was full in
Starting point is 00:30:34 It happened big time You know She's feeding them all these lines About what's going to happen In their future And they're talking about naming their babies Already and everything And then you know
Starting point is 00:30:45 She goes to freshman She has to walk back A whole lot of promises she couldn't keep But my man Gerbach, he don't know. You know, like I'm sure his dad maybe, you know, like any good dad would be like, hey, son, like, this is great. But just, you know, probably when you go to college, some things might change. There's a whole different world out there. Keep an open mind, I love her, but I love her, dad.
Starting point is 00:31:07 You know, that kind of thing. So then it all starts to happen. And then like when Gerbach's really upset and it's like, Sophie, what are you doing? Like, we had this, we're planning this. And you know, you know. I just like not ready for all that All right Like it's just a lot
Starting point is 00:31:25 And like I just want to do what I fucking want to do Gerbach was locked in So if he kind of a piece of shit Sofi kind of a It's a little this time So hey you know And those outcomes but then okay So then he gets broken up with
Starting point is 00:31:41 You know he goes through a pretty dark time My battle with some booze problems You know maybe he drops out of school You know, maybe it gets, it gets dark for Gerbach. But then, you know, I think, I like to think on the other side, like, you see him, maybe you fall off with Gerbach, but then, like, you see him post college, like, three or four years post college. And, like, he's running the shit for a true green for, yeah, for true green or like a steel management company.
Starting point is 00:32:10 And he's high up and he's got like three kids with this girl that he randomly met like a meat cute at a bar. And you're like, dude, you look good. She looks so much better than she looks so much better than Sophie, you know. Oh, you look up Sophie now. You're like, man, Gerbach, I think you got the last laugh. Sophie's a mess, dude. Yeah, she's she's working for an MLM, posting stuff on Facebook way too much. Hey, but Gerbach, hey, he's just Sophie, gained a couple LBs.

Starting point is 00:33:57 Trail? Girl box got a trail Gerbach's back dude he's happy he's happy such a you can tell just such a weight is lifted off of just getting rid of all the the Sophie stuff because of course Sophie didn't end up with the shortstop from the baseball team
Starting point is 00:34:16 you know like that didn't work out Sophie's down bad so there it is and all you can do all you can do is just you have the biggest smile on your face and you just can't help but just keep it grabbing his shoulders going good for you man that's awesome good for you mm-hmm still got dip in his back pocket yeah he's back met he comes all the way around met a girl doesn't care mm-mm yeah do what you do whatever you want

Starting point is 00:35:35 Oh, dude, Gerbach's got that every five days haircut. He might have a hard part. He doesn't have to get out there and use his hands anymore. He uses his hands directing people on what to do. Good for you, man. Yeah, so Discord asked, they've been waiting for the other half of the Gerbach story. And I think we laid it out pretty well there. Gerbach's back.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Carbox's back with Bree and dip, dude. Yes. The trials we must all go through, you know? It's like, I think about it with my son sometimes. I'm like, man, one day he's going to like, he's going to have to face some shit like that. And I'm just going to have to, I'm just going to have to, you know, be there for him and hope he finds his merry way. You got to warn him like every dad does. Like when you have a girlfriend in high school.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Hey, just get ready. Things might change in college. You know, every day. You hear some dad's voice say that. My high school girlfriend, her dad. You guys don't really love each other. I was like, I was like he's kind of got a point, yo. Dude, after he said that, everything changed for me.
Starting point is 00:36:51 I was like, he's right. Thank God. Wow. Oh, you got to have a real one step in. That's what's so crazy. Like, I'm so jealous, like my brother-in-law. on my wife's side. He went through high school on Skath.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Didn't have a girlfriend. That's amazing to me. Would go on dates, would take, like, you know, girls to prom and homecoming, whatever. But, like, he was the quarterback of the football team. Just like, I like hanging out, doing what I want to do and focus on football. And I know all that's just going to be a bunch of bullshit.
Starting point is 00:37:29 And, like, now he's engaged and, you know, to a very nice lady. And, you know, it all worked out with him. like, God, the amount of, God, if I could just, if I had literally, I think if I had one thing that I could pick for my son and daughter for that matter, if I could say this is one thing that's guaranteed that's going to happen, that I can guarantee is going to happen for the betterment of their future. I'd say neither of them are interested in dating in high school.
Starting point is 00:37:57 What kind of mindset is that? I felt like I had to have a girlfriend in high school. I thought it was like part of the whole thing. I have to have a, I have to get a girl. girlfriend in high school. Like that that is like what going to high school is. Yeah, I have to like go to her locker and like for sure.
Starting point is 00:38:14 With her. Play football. Have a girlfriend. I was like, that's what high school is. Have a car. Maybe. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:41:19 When the Steelers drafted, lime is sweet. I was like, oh, what round was that? That was so hard. First round? I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure that he's the reason that the Steelers kind of shy away from drafting wide receivers in the first round now. Second round.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Okay. That basically the first. Second round. Yeah, San Antonio Holmes was the last first round. receiver the Steelers took. But who was their first round pick that year? The Steelers in 2008?
Starting point is 00:41:57 Richard Mindenhall. Fumbling problem, right? A little ball security problem. Not no, a pod, but fumbling problem. But God, dang. Body. Yeah, footwork. Doing the hip-hop classes.

Starting point is 00:43:28 Only every once in a while do you have the Andrew Lux, the John Elways. But, you know, even Peyton Manning, there was, you know, concerns about his footwork and his athleticism and Kenny won the big game. You know, Fernando Mendoza, is he a game changer? Is he just like a Kirk Cousins like type? You know, there's those kind of questions. Still number one, one overall.

Starting point is 00:44:01 yeah you need to get in there on like a Friday night and you need to leave like Sunday night or something like that just jam it all in but boom for while you're there for that 40 hours 48 hours whatever it is it's going to be awesome weather's going to be perfect got to have a plan you're going to have a plan but I think just you put everything together one one overall it's got to be Vegas it's yeah that is like the top Q being the draft Vegas is so Blaine Gabbert, you know. I don't think Blaine Gabbard because like Vegas isn't missing that much.
Starting point is 00:44:37 Like I said, it's like, it's one of those that, you know, you go Peyton Manning, Ryan leave. Yeah, Peyton,
Starting point is 00:44:42 they each have kind of have some, some questions about them, right? But like, I'm thinking, I'm thinking you think it's good, but doesn't end up being all that. I've only been to one bachelor party there.

Starting point is 00:59:31 They used to be kind of dangerous. Northwestern used to be a team you were kind of back in the day bro. I was like god, I hope they don't. Northwestern kind of a sneaky good team. A couple sneaky game day pop-ups there where they be on the shore and Lake Michigan. Only against Ohio State. That's the only way ESPN was going. Northwestern, dude, nobody, I feel like nobody talks about Northwestern. They're about to get that cool stadium right in the water. Purple and black. Yeah. Kind of contract.
Starting point is 01:00:09 Like, I don't know. It works, but at the same time, I'm like, it's a lot of dark. It's so dark, man. Like when they go with black uniforms and have the purple accents, I'm like, man, can we clash it up a little bit? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Like it. Let's get to the clubhouse here.

Starting point is 01:01:26 Dropping a deuce The most NFC thing Of all time Blond's NFC Burnett's AFC That's crazy Are we sure about that? I thought I had it flipped
Starting point is 01:01:41 Is that rage bait Blond's NFC Bro, I don't know about that Cold pizza NFC Reheated pizza AFC Yeah that's true Yeah anything cold cold is NFC.
Starting point is 01:01:57 Just putting that out there. That's not really good one. Somebody put it in there that Johnson's AFC and I'm NFC. Ben's AFC or Ben's AFC and I'm NFC. Makes sense. Microwave NFC air fryer
Starting point is 01:02:17 AFC? Dude, oven is so NFC to me. Old school, preheat it. Do it the right way. Yeah, it takes a little a little bit more of three yards in a cloud of Dust. It takes a little bit more time.
Starting point is 01:02:36 Big payoff. Hey, would that, if oven is NFC, would that make stovetop AFC? I think it's just that microwave would be AFC. Microwave AFC. Because, like, you know, you're trying to make some frozen food? You're like, I want it quick? Do I want it better? A little bit of a quick strike offense.
Starting point is 01:02:55 Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah, that's fun. Microwave AFC. They don't know. Let's do a few clubhouse here. Team these guys at gmail.com.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Let's go to our guy, Will, saw this pop in here. It says Toby Gerhardt. Will says, hey, Benny and Joey, I'm extremely excited to announce that my wife and I will be welcoming a burpee boy to the clubhouse in August. It is our first child. We couldn't be more excited. Also want to get your thoughts on this.
Starting point is 01:03:30 Being a boy dad is so AFC. Being a girl dad is so NFC. Mm-hmm. Well, well, congrats to you and the burpee girl, Mrs. Clubhouse there. They were two front road in Chicago, showed up like two hours before the show. Oh, I love them. So congrats, that's amazing. That's when my baby boy was born, August.
Starting point is 01:03:56 Don't want to get too emotional, but start talking about your boy and then you'll start welling up. But, yeah, you know all the cliché shit. It's the best. But all right, you said you agree with boy dad AFC girl. at NFC, why? I don't know. I don't disagree. I just want to hear the thought process.
Starting point is 01:04:17 Now I kind of don't know. Because I feel like, I don't know, that's a tough one. Oh, okay, maybe I got it. A little bit more defensive, a little bit more protective around the girl, defense, Monsters of the Midway, NFC. I'm trying to figure out why Boy Dad would be AFC. Boy Dad's a little bit, you know, AFCs is the amount. American football conference. Boy, Dad, it's like you're out in front yard, throwing the baseball.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Exactly. I'm thinking, yeah. White picket fence, taking them to the ball game. Back and roll with that. Now, the real question, Will, is I thought what I thought you were going to say, and the real question becomes, what do we name it? What do we name in the baby? Baby names, clubhouse baby names. What did you name your baby? Just all one word, DeMarco Murray. Just sounded elegant. Just 49ers Brandon Lloyd. Dunk contest, Stromyle Swift is his whole first name. 49ers, Brandon Lloyd.
Starting point is 01:05:49 Silky jersey mellow? Silky jersey. Okay. Is mellow his middle name or the person at the child services thing like writing down the name for your baby. Okay and his first name if you could spell it out for me. Well, not really sure about the spelling, but it is freshman year. Arilius Ben. Do you want to go Frosh? Frosh year? Oh, man.

Starting point is 01:06:59 What is that such a moment? it, bro. Everybody in the world was there. Everybody in the world. Hey, it was because you either hated it or you loved it. I didn't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:07:15 I don't know. I don't talk about Dennis Miller on Monday night football. Okay. Yeah. Good comedian on there? Yeah. Okay. My ass.
Starting point is 01:07:25 I couldn't decide if I liked it or didn't like it. Well, yeah, you were like 10. I know, but I was. just like, I think he bombed, but it was still like good, you know? I think that I think he made the top 10 the next morning on sports. You would like it. Like it would be all, it's so you now because you always just like, yeah, just like switch it up, dog, you know, like something different.
Starting point is 01:07:47 Yeah. Dennis Miller, MNF, dude. Son's name. MNF. All right, let's go to Paul. Paul says Warren Saps Pogo Stick From Paul Favorite touchdown celebration
Starting point is 01:08:06 Is Warren Saps Pogo Stick dance After catching a touchdown pass against the Falcons With Joe Buck and Collinsworth on the call Most Fox game of all time Then he plays it And it's gonna Blastin that here Oh no it didn't
Starting point is 01:08:22 I got to see this You're probably going to hear any of that could do Or did you hear it? I didn't. Oh, sorry. Everybody in the clubhouse is going to think that the audio went off once you're watching it. But if you're watching it, it's just going to be me. Okay, I know exactly.
Starting point is 01:08:49 I get it. Yeah. Joe Buck. Joe Buck on the call. He just goes, everything's saying run. And it's not a pass to sap. And you think he likes it? That was the call.
Starting point is 01:09:04 And then Collins Earth comes in and goes, oh, the Virgo stick. The Vogel stick. Oh, the Vogel stick. Hold on. I wonder if I can play this. It's just the audio's too good. Big guy sellies, dude. Love it. Thick six. Mell's best available thick six.
Starting point is 01:09:32 Big sixes. Paul goes on to say, saw Benny and Phoenix back in December and froze when he started naming players and I couldn't say Texas Tech for West Welker. Well, haul me for the rest of my life. Love the show. Slide my ass with John Lynch's jockstrap. not a Buccaneers pod that magically fell off when he got jukeed by Barry Sanders.
Starting point is 01:09:50 Do you remember that? So you yelled out West Welker and he Paul had it. It's a tough one. In the moment, it's a tough one, yeah. All those guys are together. Danny Mandola, Julian Edelman, Wes Walker. You're like, did they all go? Same guy?
Starting point is 01:10:10 Yeah. Is that the most same guy of all time? Literally, slown. Danny Amidola, Julian element. Yeah. Same amount of letters in their last name. I'm like, just please. Falcons bucks, pretty NFC. Pretty NFC, yep.
Starting point is 01:10:30 Bucks Rams. Pretty Fox. Yeah. From Michael, all-time RBI leader. Michael says, Longtime First Time, while browsing baseball reference.com, if you know,
Starting point is 01:10:40 you know, looking for Albert Pooleholz and Manny Ramirez career RBI totals, I stumbled upon Cap Anson in fifth place for all-time RBIs. For reference, A-Rod is fourth, and Barry Bonds is sixth.
Starting point is 01:10:51 I never heard of this guy, so of course I had to go down the rabbit hole. Here's some of the stats. Kat played 27 seasons from 1871 to 1897, 2,205 RBIs, 334-Batting average, 7th all-time on the hits list with 3,435. Who's your favorite old-timer still on an all-time list like this? Were they built different? Slap my ass while I snapped Benny a football signed by Mike that my grandma asked him to sign while he was eating dinner at his own restaurant. Max. said for my LG Dare
Starting point is 01:11:23 Damn, what is that? LG Dare. Verizon LG Dare. Dare to be different, dude. From the looks for it, it looks like it has a little bit of a slip, like a slide-up thing. I remember the third slogan for that was Dare to be different. Not a local podcast, not a local podcast, but Joe King got that phone. And he would just slide it up.
Starting point is 01:11:52 Every time be like, dare to be different. Hello? Never got old. Just every time dare to be different. What's up? Just calling out to Slutting. Oh, God. Good phone.
Starting point is 01:12:14 Names like this. Yeah. I mean, I don't have any off the top of my head, but it is always so funny to me. I think I did a sketch about those fears back. Didn't do that well. Whatever. Not mad about it. Still somewhere.
Starting point is 01:12:26 It's like when you're listening, you know, because I watch so many, I watch pretty much every Cubs game. And it's not unlike any other broadcast booths, but all the time, you know, like the broadcasters will be going on about some stats in the fourth inning and they'll bring up the. And here's the all-time leaders in Cubs history. And you'll have, you know, Derek Lee, around with Sammy Sosa, Ryan Sandberg, all the typicals. But then, yeah, somebody from like 1905, you know, like stuffy Johnson will still. we'll get in there. Stuffy Johnson, you know, and like, you know,
Starting point is 01:13:00 then they go riff on and on about, oh, you remember old stuffy? Oh, how could I forget? Yeah. Like, that shit never ceases to make me not laugh.
Starting point is 01:13:12 Just the most weird nicknames and also like nicknames that kind of had to do with the times. You know, it'd be like, oh, Clubfoot Wilson. Yeah, you remember Clubfoot.
Starting point is 01:13:24 Yeah, he had a hard time getting down the line. Silence. Who? Yeah. Why are they talking about that right now? Because it's somebody, they'll show for reference of, you know, Danesby Swanson and his last seven games has done this. And that's comparable to, and they'll pull up the, you know, all-time leaders in Cubs history of this. And inevitably, some guy, some cap anson, some stuffy Johnson will make his way on that list.
Starting point is 01:13:55 Oh, he's talking about somebody. We just have no idea what they're, who they are. Not a clue. Not a clue. Yeah, remember when old Billy White Shoes Johnson? I'm like, dude. Always white shoe.
Starting point is 01:14:07 Yeah, there's always a white shoe. Yeah. Shoals, Billy White Shoes. Billy White Shoes Johnson and Tommy No Sox Stevens.
Starting point is 01:14:21 Okay. That was actually a guy. Billy White Shoes Johnson. You're like, how'd that come to be? I was wore white shoes. They're like, don't we all?
Starting point is 01:14:30 Like, How's he the one that just got to claim white shoes? Were they built different? Yeah, they always were built a little duff. Mani Ramirez, dude. Mm. Uh-huh. Didn't he have all like the like tack stuff on his helmet?
Starting point is 01:14:51 Pine tar. I thought that was so thick. He was, did he pee on the wall? No, you're talking, you're thinking of Moises of Lou peeing on his hands. Somebody like peed on the. Oh, on the green monster No, I think I know what you're talking about now Yeah, Manny did sell, hey, Manny being many
Starting point is 01:15:10 That always did that God, I love, you're right, I love, That was an era, that was a moment in time When people, guys would just have their helmet Beat, shit Uh-huh, especially him, I thought he was the coolest baseball player for probably like five years He was wearing the chains, I thought, baggist jersey,
Starting point is 01:15:29 Baggis jersey, chains, terrible defender But would just feel like, five years. of a hundred foot bombs. Nobody really had dreads like that either, it seems like. And then his helmet, bro, what was it? What is that for? Just so he can hold the bat better? Yeah, so with Pine Tar, you put it on the, you know,
Starting point is 01:15:47 you put it on your, on the handle, the grip of the bat. And then, you know, you have it on your gloves and everything. It's just to, you know, make it to wear obviously, like, it's not a slick and whatnot. But then, yeah, he would have so much of it, be doing this, so much of his helmet. And I think he probably kind of puts them on there just to add to the effect. and came out to that.
Starting point is 01:16:05 Alan Iverson. Alan Iverson of baseball. Oh, I like that. Good comp. Good comp. Well, I mean, he was so likable. I was like, I don't even know who that is, but God, dang. Stocky.
Starting point is 01:16:21 So baggy. The jersey, but like it didn't look bad. It looked like it just was like meant to be that way. But I'm like, if I wore that, I look like an idiot. He had baggy pants, too. Mm-hmm. Yeah, white boys can't pull that off. What was his like, what was his like batting routine?
Starting point is 01:16:39 I think there was something about that too. That wasn't anything too wild. He was big on like, he was one of the first that he would just like pimp a home run and just stare at it. There's that famous picture where he hits it and then he just stands at home plate. I think it's Bill Simmons profile picture.
Starting point is 01:16:57 And he just standing there with his arms up and it's like shot down the first base line so you see all the Red Sox players and dugout going crazy. Forgot about him. All right, not that. Okay. Never mind.
Starting point is 01:17:14 All right. Let's do one more here. From Brian Clubhouse. Subdudes. First time, short time. I just rewatched a pretty glonka video and realize that Ben is the one interviewing the guy. And it blew my freaking mind. That shit makes me crack up every time, especially when he says, like, Frotoback.
Starting point is 01:17:30 I was in a meeting at work the other day and started thinking of that guy's voice randomly and could not keep my shit. together. It was fighting for my life to not start cracking up. Do you guys remember any particular brutal situations when you cannot stop from laughing? You goofballs must have had some moments like that in church when the priest was pipping off about thy rod since staff comforts me. Love the show. Keep up the good times flowing and come to Seattle soon. Cheers and warmest regards, Brian. Sit for my grandpa's satellite phone and the center console was 92 Lexus that I never once saw him use, but I still thought it was absolutely baller. Thanks Brian.
Starting point is 01:18:05 Glad to have you. You call back anytime. Yeah, dude, Glocky. That's just, I mean, we're coming up on. Galankee origin story. We're coming up on close to 10 years of that. Johnson on the mic. Me behind me.
Starting point is 01:18:24 You can hear me laugh at one point. Dude, you're the one that was like, let's go out there and like just try to see if people can do this. And I was like, yeah, all right. Let's go. It was back at the station, and it was just kind of reminiscent to drunk chucks. You know, they would just send me in bed and just be like, you guys are funny. You guys just take a camera and go do something because you're funny. And we're like, okay.
Starting point is 01:18:48 I mean, thanks for the direction. And so, yeah, that was like one. I was like, I don't know. It's just if you get people on the streets like singing and fucking up, you know, at least be like people will watch it. So it was around May for the ND 500. And so I was like, let's see people know the lyrics to back home again in Indiana, which Ben obviously had no fucking clue. But sometimes I still get comments from that video and people are like, what are what is this song even?
Starting point is 01:19:17 And I'm like, ah. Yeah, it's stupid to even explain to people really. But like you sing it wrong to gunky, which is hilarious. That makes it even better. But he's like, like, how are back again? And you go back home again? You just took liberties to what it is. You had no idea.
Starting point is 01:19:36 So funny. But what's the... It gets me every time when he goes, oh, good. How you? When he does that, that... How are you?
Starting point is 01:19:47 You hear me laugh in the video. I start, like, shaking. Yeah. Top interaction. Top interaction. Damn, man. How do you, like... Where does that rank for you as a sidebar
Starting point is 01:20:04 in terms of like what people notice you for the most. That's got to be like 50% of it. You're the guy. You're the glonky guy. Yeah. Like some people will come to my shows and be like, yo, that video, that glonky video. I'm like, hell yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:22 Crazy. Never could like, if you were to told us that in that moment, hey, like 10 years from now, Ben's going to have over a million followers on every platform. You're both to be doing all this stuff. but people still talk to you about that video I don't think we were going to be able to air it I thought they'd be like it's finny but like he's messed up
Starting point is 01:20:44 true I was like on the it was 50-50 I was like is he too messed up like to post this I really wasn't going to post it and I was like I don't know whatever who cares he doesn't care it was like a good energy I guess yeah right no that's one of them I mean shit dude like going back to those interactions Brian, like Catholic school. I mean, I feel like you add up all that shit of Catholic schools.
Starting point is 01:21:10 I know every school has it, but yeah, like, you gotta go to church once a week. Ten times funnier in church. Everything is ten times funny. And you know all the teachers are I, they're hawking because they're like, you cannot mess up in church. And then it just makes it even worse, dude.
Starting point is 01:21:27 I've been, there's been some times where I could not stop laughing for like an entire day at school. You know? Like you just keep thinking about it. No, but I always thought I was, going to get in trouble like because I'd be laughing like six hours later about the same thing in a whole different class and even people were looking at me like still bro and I'd be like dog
Starting point is 01:21:48 it's so funny dude I'd be like under my desk on the way home be dying you're like carpooling with some random family and you're just in yeah you feel bad you're getting hot you're getting sweaty because you know your face is red because you're holding in your laugh so much but you're like shaking you can't you can't you can't you can can't explain to them. The neighbor girl was kind of hot. I was like looking at you. You're like, goddamn.
Starting point is 01:22:14 She thinks I have a problem. Yeah. I remember Jordan Reeser. So stupid. Like we had like you have these different tables, you know, and like is our English class. And like kind of the
Starting point is 01:22:33 shire like, just like kind of the nerdy like shire girls who. He would like, mess with them. Just do the stupidest shit. Like look at him his eyes and be like,
Starting point is 01:22:44 and they'd be like, and then he'd dude, he would go like this. He would go, he'd go. Like, just shit like, like,
Starting point is 01:22:54 you're an eighth grade and like, you're just, bro, what are you doing? And how do you even have the, like, courage to just mess with someone that like overtly?
Starting point is 01:23:03 He was so funny, dude. I remember he was, he was funny when he was like 10. Oh, yeah. And we were like a little, I'd be like, oh, that's your little brother.
Starting point is 01:23:13 He was, like, at our basketball practice. Funny. But, yo, it's so classic about somebody like that is that a year for years in high school and college and stuff. I'd be like, dude, you are just naturally funny. Like, you need to go up, like, on stage, like, do this shit with me. No interest. No interest. It's always the funniest dudes that never would.
Starting point is 01:23:33 Yeah. Yeah. No interest. He's just, like, the best living room comic of all time. Like, dude, literally. to a nerdy girl, bro, she's probably like, yo, what?
Starting point is 01:23:46 Yeah, yeah, I'm like, dude, she's gonna, like, tell on you. I know,
Starting point is 01:23:50 yeah, I'm always so like, bro, we're about to get in trouble, but to them is just nothing. But he like didn't get, he like didn't care. She's gonna tell on you.
Starting point is 01:23:59 It's like, it's like those kind of kids, probably similar to Joe King, we're like, he could do it and not have a worry or care in the world. Nothing would ever happened. But the second I would do that, all of a sudden I'd be in the principal's office.
Starting point is 01:24:11 Yeah. I'm like, it's just like how their luck, broke. I don't know. I've got to change schools. And it's the way it's because they did it and didn't care. Like we didn't care too much.
Starting point is 01:24:21 Right. Totally. Yes, there's another, there's another research story for everybody. Star of the show. And it's not even, like you don't have to do anything
Starting point is 01:24:33 like super crazy to be funny. It's just always like a look across the classroom that'll get me for like seven hours. Still, just picturing like Miss Morris up there teaching Spanish and I just look over and Reese is doing that. Oh my God. See you.
Starting point is 01:24:53 And they knew. And they knew. And you were dying and they were still doing it. Straightest face. Straightest face. Can't look at your bro during can't look at them. During a presentation. Presentation.
Starting point is 01:25:04 How about this? But you're presenting something in the class and your best friend that you grew up with is in the class. See you. Like imagine doing that now. Like, imagine you had to present something and all your homies are in the classroom. You wouldn't stand a chance, bro. Nope. If you, boo, doing that, it was a fucking.
Starting point is 01:25:28 Eyelids flipped. Ridiculous. Especially in high school. I'm like, dude, this is borderline insane. To actually have to present an econ project and like my actual best friends are in the class. Yeah, every time I look up. You get to a point, though, yeah, in your life where you're like, you used to want to have nothing but your friends in your class,
Starting point is 01:25:56 but you get to a point where you're like, it's just best for me not to. I got a lot. I got to go to college. I got to get good grades. I got to like, this is time. I can't do this anymore. They would be bad, too.
Starting point is 01:26:11 They'd be like a fake agreeing with you. Oh, my God. It felt dumber. You're like, so I think that the economy next year and like your homies in the back like
Starting point is 01:26:25 exactly. Dude. APC. Trying to max out an APC. Your homies in there. Hey, all it takes at that point in time you're trying to max out all it takes us for Jordan Reacer to walk by and go.
