Why is the 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.
Just every guy.
Every guy in my hair.
Yeah.
Not bad for a fat guy.
What up, Clubhouse is Benny Policey and Joey Mullener on this week's TG.
We talk about if East Lansing is the best destination for a bachelor party.
When your girl starts liking a guy on the baseball team, the couple who took.
He took engagement photos at prom, and is Kael and Clark ever going to play basketball again?
Probably not.
Let's start the show.
TG-181.
Recording here, recording there, recording everywhere.
I should know about this.
This guy.
This guy, both going with the...
Look at us with the black and gold.
I got the happy Gilmore because it's Masters Sunday, as we record, and his Master's.
Sunday.
Black and yellow, black and yellow.
You've been seeing that thing on the internet where they're trying to change like,
like what if every city,
city's teams have the same colors?
Like Pittsburgh?
Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
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.
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.
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.
Shout out Joel.
I had a
A new segment
Hat it
I had a Pins hat
Snapback
It's up not a 2011
Pod
Snapback's back
Oh my God
That song
It was like it was like three tone
It was like the bill of it was baby blue
The front of it was white
The back part of it was navy blue
And the pink one's logo
Had a little bit of that in it too
I was like shit all right
Mercy eyes
First podcast about hats
Does anybody have a hat
podcast yet. I've never seen that
bro. We can break it in.
We can break it in. Never seen hat
before. Never seen hat
before. Yeah, it's like, okay, the penguins
use like blue because of the ice a little bit.
That's like what I'm seeing
on here kind of. I don't know. I love
when teams, I love when teams randomly
just are like, blue.
Yeah. Blue.
Tennessee women's basketball? Blue.
I'm like, all right.
Didn't know. But, okay.
Florida State, blue.
You know, you get all those tribal teams.
Blue.
Every girl went through a phase.
Any sporty girl went through a phase
or they had a Candice Parker, Tennessee
Lady Volunteers, Jersey.
And wear it on dress down day.
I was like,
I want to be one of those girls.
Dude, I would rock a Candace Parker right now.
It's like, I didn't know they sold those.
Clark, do you still play basketball?
TG Hot take.
TG.
Hot take.
Hey, TG Hot takes.
Kael and Clark will never play basketball again.
That was going out on the Discord, which again, shout out to the Discord Clubhouse.
It's in our bio on Instagram.
These guys, L.O.L.
It's in the comment section, the description of the YouTube show.
These guys, L.O.L.
on YouTube, watch, subscribe every week.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Hey,
everything he posts in there.
Uh,
everything he posts in there is just,
well,

No,
just like every,
every three or four days.
Any food be?
Motivational quotes.
like every every every like
yeah once a day in the morning

hold on let me look at it
let me try to find something
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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,
to play our ass off.
Attack.
Ask Gerbach why he plays,
you know?
His answer,
I like hitting people.
Yeah,
100%.
Oh,
yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Nothing more,
nothing less.
Nothing more,
nothing less there.
We're like,
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
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
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,
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Just every guy.
every guy
my hair
yeah
my hair
my hair
your body
bluest eyes
you ever seen
okay
get why you're a dick
fine
so many
so many accessories
like tall
for no reason
too
I'm like
you should not be
six four
like dude
I hate
I hate him
guys are tall
for no reason
I'm like
God
he's tall
but he also
runs like
a 5-760 yard dash
you're like
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dude.
Like,
we know,
we know the lake.
in the land?
I didn't even think you got invited to mine.
You just showed up.
I would never, yeah.
Because it was,
it was just,
it was like the Avengers.
It was like me.
It was like five of us.
That's hard,
dude.
That's why,
damn,
I wish I would have had a graduation party like that.
I don't think I even had one.
Oh,
yeah.
I honestly don't think I even had one.
And if I did,
I realized it like the two hours before
we were supposed to do it. I was like, oh, we're supposed to be doing that. Like, my mom was probably
like, damn, no one really cared. But the people that had like a really planned out graduation
party, I was like, this is kind of sick, dude. Yeah. They get tired. So they get redundant.
They get redundant. No, they don't. Because the people, like, the people make it cool. Like,
what were you saying? You had like five of the homies? Yeah. Not a, not a local,
but it was me
Andy Ward
Jordan Reeser
David Heckman
and Anthony
hometown names
dude and Anthony
Milton
and Dan Lalk
was probably there
because of Heckman
yes
ha ha
not an OLG
podcast
hey there might be
some of these people
in the discord
for everybody
just saying
everybody
they're better be
disclosed
but I'm just saying
some of these characters
they might be in there
with you
Dude, I love the fake names in the Discord.
Hey, right now, Zoo Kid.
I'll never forget.
They're so sick.
At the Chicago Live Show after party, the Boston Boys, like their second question to me.
Man, I really thought Jordan Reeser was going to come.
Dude, I love shit like that.
Hey, in the comments, give me your best hometown name.
Your hometown's friend's name.
Because I feel like you all listen to you're like, those are fake.
people. They're not.
But like if I heard your guys'
hometown friends names, I'd be like
It's got to be a fake guy. I'd be like
Chris Skidmore? What? Skidmore.
Yeah, we call them shitmore in high school.
Hey, football coach just called them. Skiddy.
Skiddy!
Skiddy, bring in the cooler.
Skiddy. Dude, that's pretty
that's a pretty good one. If I was a coach, I'd be ripping
Skiddy.
Staddy's heart nose
No, I'm sorry
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Gerbach's new girl though
You're like bro you you scored
Hey no you know where they met
At 45
Yeah we're just doing the agility ladder
Hey what's her name
Hey Bree
We and Bree we met doing burpees
It's like
Yeah
Gerbaugh this is this is how
This is how it had to come to be
He had to fight through
He was in a dark bad place
starts to get his life together, working, starts to join a gym,
wants to get, you know, a little thinner because Gerbach was losing himself a little bit,
a little thinner meets, meets Bree.
They have three kids and a big old house on land.
Yo, on land, out there.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, damn.
He's like, yeah, dude, you should come down sometime.
We'll start a fire, maybe go out on the, on the, on the, on the, um,
Trail.
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
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
huh it's one of his vices you know dude brie's so cool keep saying that to him yeah yeah
yeah I lucked out three kids his oldest kid
already has like a spiked mohawk seven years old just tackling the shit at everybody
they're like oh so it's you you go okay we were we're doing the cycle again
yellow crusty ankle socks for him too you gotta leave his house though you gotta leave uh
you gotta leave gerbach's house early because he's like I got true green tomorrow at eight
I gotta get in team man it team lead yeah but he's running shit like
Gerbach back to almost having a nice haircut, some good golf polos.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
With her.
Play football.
Have a girlfriend.
I was like,
that's what high school is.
Have a car.
Maybe.
Yeah.
Have a car.
Your senior year only because your mom won't buy you on.
Not a high school podcast.
Wait.
So they literally just like talk about bullshit from their high school days
15 years ago every week.
For 38 minutes into the podcast.
All right.
Let's get to some Mel's best available.
We did shoulders last time around.
We saw, I'm trying to remember who it was on Instagram.
I apologize.
I'm blanking off the top.
But you'll know who it is.
This is a submission from a clubhouse member.
And I figured we could run with it because we're heading into party time.
We're heading into, I'm going down to Austin, Texas this week.
week, not for a bachelor party, but to see one of my boys that was on my bachelor party who lives down there.
Oh.
Yeah.
Just a guy's trip?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
So any Austin or surrounding area clubhouse, uh, hit my line.
You, me, my buddy, and some UT baseball.
You guys go into a game?
Yeah.
So Texas plays Alabama at home and baseball.
So I think we're going to go check that out.
Yo, what's the fit look like?
Dude, I don't know.
It's gonna be hot as shit.
Vince Young Black Jersey.
I'm pit.
I'm like, see, you know, I'm gonna buy some stupid shit down there for sure.
That's a best, that's your best quality.
First, first stop.
First stop in all center.
Like, yo, Coxy.
This is his nickname, of course.
Coxie, can we hit a vintage store around here somewhere?
Even a Goodwill will do.
Longhorns.
Crazy UT.
Longhorns, baseball pop-up.
tent.
Give me all you got, dude.
All of a sudden, the biggest
Texas baseball fan of yours in your
life?
Immediately just Google search
Jordan Shipley jerseys near me.
That's what I'm saying.
That's the coolest thing.
Just deck out.
See, but what the problem is, is that, like, I'll be with
Coxie and he is a way more frugal
dude. Whereas
when I'm with you in Chicago or Wrigley,
before the live show
first thing
gotta get that black jacket
buy that
hard bro
guy pulls up to
a Texas baseball game
with a Colt McCoy
QB wrist I don't know
$518 on
eBay still got the plays in it
why is that dude
wearing a Lymus
Swede jersey
still a little
still holding out for him to make it
with the Steelers
Bro, me too.
Such a what if.
Mel's best available, guys that didn't pan out.
Lime is sweet, bro.
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.
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?
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.
What number of those line is sweet on the Steelers?
14.
Because he's number four in college,
so he just did the,
well,
I can't be that.
At that time,
give me the one four.
Lime is sweet.
Hey,
so cold.
He's a Super Bowl champion.
He had that big block
in the AFC championship.
You know.
Yeah.
Whatever.
Yeah,
so hit my line.
We're going there.
But all is that to say,
Mel's best available
Bachelor Party locations.
Location,
station,
station,
say you know about these locations bachelor party locations mel's best available you first yep me first
feel like it's just a clear cut number one like don't don't overthink it one of those where you
start being like i don't know here's some reports that could go left tackle or something it's like
dude don't just take the quarterback take number one you got to do it it's the franchise play
you got to best available las vegas wow for location i mean but
To be fair, you know, it's like, it's not unlike any other prospect, you know.
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.
But I think if you're looking at, like, what would the downsides of Vegas be super pricey?
then you have to do it right where like you can't be there for like way too long you need to you need to get in there on like a
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.
Like I said,
it's like,
it's one of those that,
you know,
you go Peyton Manning,
Ryan leave.
Yeah,
Peyton,
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.
and I
It was fire
or not.
Definitely something
to write home about.
Mel's best available
Bachelor party
locations
hear me out.
Hold on.
I got to get this in.
This is tremendous
coming from the guy
who's never been on a bachelor
party.
So I want to get that
out there for clubhouse.
I didn't know what to do
when this came up.
All right.
Bachelor party locations.
hometown play it close to home a go-karting twin peaks you're trying to keep your fiance
happy the homies go to your basement at a safe house video games all night is this a bachelor
party or a birthday party in 2012 when you're turning 19 either way interchangeable it's what
I want to do.
All right.
Keep it at home.
Save money.
People are, all right, yeah.
It's like a thing, you know, it's not like a big burden on anybody.
Yeah.
True.
That's a big aspect I think needs to be taken into consideration way more than it does.
Than it is now at this point in time.
Now people are asking like guys to go to Cancun for five days.
I'm like, what are we doing?
This isn't spring break with my family.
Like, okay.
you're getting married, dude.
Let's go get drunk somewhere and hang out for like 36 hours.
Walk in at the homie's house.
Yeah, I mean, I had that.
I had a staycation on my list.
Now it's off.
It's off my board.
Dang.
What else does you have on there?
I mean, we're still going.
No, no, no.
On the staycation one,
did you have like,
what were you thinking?
No, I mean,
I've been in like,
like my brother-in-law,
my sister's husband did one.
My uncle did one like that.
We're like, yeah,
you do some bullshit like a,
You do like a pickle peddler or something, right?
Downtown.
Maybe go get some wings or some grubs somewhere.
Then you just hit the local bars for a bit.
You stay somewhere.
Maybe downtown like an Airbnb.
Maybe hit an Indians game, not a local podcast.
Hey, fireworks.
I mean, there's options, right?
And you're like, cool.
Yeah, like, all right.
So it's not like crazy.
Maybe it's not like something that people write movies about, you know?
Duable, but like it's a great nine out.
Yeah, cool.
All right.
So we got Vegas.
We got the hometown.
I'm going to go.
It's my best available here.
So my best available, Bachelor Party location, second overall.
Rigleyville.
Specifically, Wrigleyville.
This is what I did for my Bachelor Party.
I think even if you aren't a Cubs fan or you don't have a whole bunch of people who are Cubs fans in your group,
still got everything you could possibly want more.
Because it's wrapped around a ballgame, right?
Maybe you go to the rooftop.
Maybe you go sit in the bleachers at a ballgame at one.
20 on a Saturday day in June and you're getting blasted out there.
Still a good time.
It gives a show what's going on in the field.
Baseball games aren't for baseball, dude.
No.
It's for everything else.
It's for everything else.
Get the snakes going and the bleachers.
You know, take your shirt off maybe.
Start hollering at people.
Right field sucks.
Like, just go, man.
Just have at it, right?
Or if you're doing a rooftop, I mean, this is what we did for my bachelor party.
The rooftop was sick, so fun, food, drink, perfect views, amazing.
And then afterwards, it's just like one of the best party places is in the country.
I mean, you just have nothing but bars lining up and down the streets.
And you know what?
All things considered, decently affordable.
And you're not staying in Wrigleyville for three days.
Like, again, you're getting in on a Friday afternoon.
you're leaving Sunday morning.
You have two nights there.
You hit Wrigleyville, the different bars,
plenty of bars to go around,
hit a ball game once or twice.
Bada boom.
Out of there.
God, what a trip, you know.
Staying in the Airbnb, like above the stadium, that one?
Or the one where you can, like, see the Cubs play.
Sure, yeah, get something like that.
But even then, like, yeah,
you're probably having like 15, 16 guys,
not that crazy to split amongst all yourselves.
right 15 guys yeah yo that's a ton of guys you didn't do that did you
count a shit ton on mine 15 bro because I was I was like run seven on seven I was like one of the
first so when you're when you're one of the first you know you feel like everything you feel like
everybody's doing it with you because that's actually that's actually a move yeah because nobody's
done it yet so like at and as younger so at that time of my
life that there was a handful of like what I would say now fringe friends that was closer with
because I had less shit going on so I was like yeah dude come you know and then I had like my dad
and my brother-in-law and my future brother-in-law's and my like I was like let's all gone dude
I don't want it to be a fucking huge thing let's go um yeah so that's that's got to come off the
board for me I think all things considered easy to get even if you got a buddy that lives in
like Texas or like Colorado.
Plenty of flights to Chicago.
Yeah, right there.
Direct flight.
It was easy.
Just hopped on,
hopped off.
Mm-hmm.
I can't wait to see what's next for you.
Okay.

It's always something like that.
And you're like, what does that have to do with Michigan State?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The green pickle.
Sure.

We'll just do this with the clubhouse.
We'll just pick a random,
a random Big Ten location.
Well,

Well,
I'll just go to a tailgate up there.
Like I said,
I threw in the Discord,
I said,
we should all go to a random
high school football game.
I'll wear Michael Myers' outfits.
Now,
let's go to,
I said,
that was my goal.
We just get a bunch of us
to show up to like plainfield.
We're all in there.
Wouldn't that be,
oh my God.
If I was on that team,
and I saw just 25 dudes
wearing Michael Myers suits
and the ass in the crowd.
Let's do this.
Let's just make it.
Let's go to East Lansing in October,
like the last weekend of October before Halloween.
You know what it's going to be.
And everybody wears Michael Myers' outfits
and we tailgate up there.
And then we go to Howard's with Mateen Cleaves.
We have a once-a-year clubhouse bachelor party.
Oh, that's what I was thinking.
Clubhouse Bachelor party.
all everybody's wife what the hell
like they can't they can't even get mad though
because it's like not a high-stakes situation
for a wife to get mad
like we're not going to Vegas

we're not going to Coachella
we're just hitting B-dubs and
East Lansing
dude that'd be so fun
bring your raincoat

Blake's looking it up for me.
Blake's our fake producer.
Connor Cook, Michigan State jersey with like a
see-through poncho over the top.
Bachelor party fits.
Oh, dude.
I've got it.
Saturday, October 17th.
Oh, I just got the chills, bro.
I just got the chills.
The Michigan State Spartans, welcome in.
the Northwestern Wildcats
Tough not to cheer for the cats a little bit
Hey hey
Get back for the Pat Fitzgerald Bull
Come on
He's the head coach at Michigan State now
Oh no uh
Yeah
Dang
God Northwestern such an underachieving
Big Ten school
Or are they overachieving
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.
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.
Unless you got, what do you got?
You got an AFC or anything or dripping or tripping this week?
No, we should pull one from the Discord, though.
Been some heat.
God dang.
Insane.
Insane.
Insane stuff.
Pictures of Mike Miller.
That's all I need to see.
Got a Jerry Porter drop this morning.
Happy Sunday morning.
Hope Jerry Porter's doing well.
It's like this is it.
Appleby's AFC, TGA Fridays, NFC?
I like.
Kind of both AFC.
My favorite ones are like going.
It's just like a real life shit.
Like taking a shit.
NFC
Pissing
AFC
Those are the best
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Do you have any backup picks? Yeah, the next one is my sister has a crush on Jason C. Horn.
Horn Giants.
Why?
Why are you so long?
Oh,
wow.
Congrats.
Yeah.
You guys done?
You're thinking about number two?
Yeah.
Thinking number two,
actually,
she's pregnant.
So,
wow,
good names.
Yeah,
thinking MNF booth
Dennis Miller.
Yeah.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Bucks Rams.
Pretty Fox.
Yeah.
From Michael, all-time RBI leader.
Michael says,
Longtime First Time,
while browsing baseball reference.com,
if you know,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah,
there's always a white shoe.
Yeah.
Shoals,
Billy White Shoes.
Billy White Shoes Johnson and
Tommy
No Sox Stevens.
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?
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?
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
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,
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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,
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?
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.
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.
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?
Yeah,
yeah,
I'm like,
dude,
she's gonna,
like,
tell on you.
I know,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
Oh yeah.
Dude.
See you.
Done.
Broken sternum.
The funniest noise.
Oh shit.
