I think it'll be a TG live reveal.

I'm going to lose my mind. I don't know if you will. I actually. Yeah, I will. It doesn't matter what it is. I think you will, but you won't for the reason that I did and for what I think maybe other clubhouse will.

It'll be for a Johnson reason. Okay, good. Johnson here. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. But yeah, it's big. pleasantly surprised, man. Honestly, might be the best quality jersey I own.

No way. It's got to be fake, though. Probably. Ali Express. Never forget. But, dude, I busted it out and I did an inspection. It was going over everything. Spelling's right.

Stitched. Not any like random ink stains or anything. I mean, it looks good. legit fake it's a dupe oh my god they're dupes girls can not stop saying that was nice wait

yeah here's another TG wait is that a dupe here's another here's another TG origin can't wait it was it was um

it was let's see about this time 2012 about this time of year 2012 this is this is

you know I was a freshman in college and this is that time of Instagram and the internet where like an infeed post you would just

it would be like a pair of shoes let it fly dude do you miss that yes and no it was so worthless right here's a picture of like yeah

my grandma's woods here's a picture of my chick-fil-a ordering just on a tray I know yeah just food it's the weirdest thing when people post just food I'm like a post a post

the amount of times that goes through my head a freaking post dude wow hard to feed with the chick-fil-A sandwich and that's it and it looks bad it's some it's some nerdy shit inside baseball you know there's definitely guys who are age are just like oh at least i don't make my living being pre-boy on the internet

okay hollywood there's definitely that but like at the same time even just like people of our generation you gotta have some sense got to have some internet sense right how do you not i mean like who are you following word right it's so funny Like, I kind of want to do a modern Seinfeld about that. But at the same time, I feel like people just don't think about it that way. Yeah, true.

I mean, before we were thinking about it that way, I was taking pictures of, like, shorts at champs. And I was like, fire. Fire. Like, I would take a picture off of my computer. Take a picture of my computer screen of Sean Taylor's socks. And I was like, go. Yeah, I mean, I had a few of those. Just for 12, just for 12 of the homies.

But it's not a post, Jerry. That's a story. That's a good one. That's a good one. You should do that. I know. Thanks. I'm all over it.

But I posted, I had just, I had just, I don't know how I did some like odd job during Thanksgiving break or something. I don't know. Or fall break. but I had some random money freshman year, maybe leftover graduation money, probably what it was. And I ordered a pair of Jordans, but like a,

like a, you know, a fake ass pair of Jordans, you know. It was like a pair of Jordan fives that I think were only like $89. But I'm like, I'm a freshman.

I'm like, I don't give a shit. Like, whatever. Crazy. No one's really going to know, you know. And so I get them.

And they come into my, they ship to my dorm. I'm so excited. And like, I'm getting out of the box. I'm like, damn, these do look like pretty legit, you know? Like, they're not too messed up. Like, you know, excited about it. Like, I try them on, feeling good. So excited about it.

Like, 2012, you know, snap a photo of the shoe, post it. Get a comment from whatever your name was back then. Pope Benedict. But it's full of. Let's see. Pope Bennings with the zero in it? Oh, that was hard, bro. Hard era.

Unhinged era. Yeah. And it just says fakes. Dude, I just had to. I don't know. I was like, God dang it, man. Like, just classic. Classic Politi raided it on my parade.

I'm like so pumped. Ready to break him out on Christmas break when we go back home, you know? But I'm like, a policy just called my ass out in front of my 120 people that follow me of everybody that I know back home. Nobody cares. No one cares. But I was just like, there's no way he just has those. Those are like $700 on the internet. Like, there's no way he's got it like that, dude.

But I think I thought we were more friends than you thought. Because I was like, I can say this kind of shit to Joey. Like, I say this to my friend. Yeah, but again, it's like that dynamic of it. I'm like, oh, fuck, dude. You know, like, he's still like older than me, like playing college football. Like, you know, it's just one of, like, if one of my friends would have been my, my, like, guys in my class or something, it's like, ah, whatever, you know. Actually, they just wouldn't have posted it.

But anyways, there's a TG story, origin story for you. Fakes. Meanwhile, I was probably wearing fake shoes. I bought fake Jordans my sophomore year in high school. I thought, I kind of still think they're real to this day. What pair? bread 11s. Like anyone in their right mind

would be like there's no way you have those. Like it was before Jordans were like really, really like people were shooting each other over them. I like just made I was like maybe people think these are real.

Paul Casaro was like, where'd you get those? I was like, I'm in. Oh man. Oh shit. Yeah. You could see like Michael Jordan's

ass crack like. I was like, I don't know if that's, nobody's looking that close. Dude, Jordan Reister still has a pair of, he has a pair of Space Jam 11th that I'm pretty sure he hasn't brought him out of the box. Oh,

they're real? And I think he got him probably over a decade ago. Are they real? Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah, I wouldn't take them out either. Those are like the grail.

Uh-huh. The blue from the moon. movie? Oh, dude. I don't think those are coming back out anytime soon either. Those are the ones. Yeah, the Levens always have a and then

one night actually, college, same year. Doesn't anything to do with you. Okay. It's like, I'm a bully, dude. No, did anything do with you? Was at one of my buddies's dorms. He went to Butler. And he just had a pair of, he's had a pair of, um, concords just in his dorm. And I was like, they were like, they got stolen. They got stolen by me. Well, I mean, here, here's the

story is that like, it was one of those classic. It was probably like two degrees outside. You just like drinking in your buddy's dorm room like randomly. You're like, why are we at Butler? I have no idea, but there's probably like six people in there. You're looking back now, it's the time of your life, right? But I'm like, dude, are those your concords? Or they're real? He's not, he's not like a guy that like, you don't look at this guy and you're like, God, he's wearing Jordans like that.

Yeah. Not because he couldn't afford him or like, it was just like, it's not in his style. Poor kid. No, he was, no, no, no, no, the opposite. It just wasn't like, he's like, he's like. I'll mess around to get a pair, you know. But you're like, you can't see this being on his feet, you know? And so he's like, he's like, yeah, actually they're, I got him shipped to me, but like they're the wrong size.

They don't fit me. He's like, you don't try them on? I was like, say less. Try them on. Never took him off. Dude, that's a, that's a type of shit you can do in college. You're like, these are just mine now, bro. He did like.

I think the next morning or something, and it wasn't like, I mean, I guess I was trying to get away with one. But like, he's one of my best friends. I wasn't trying to like really screw him over like that. Yeah, I was just kidding. I stole him, but I was like kidding. But I ended up paying him for him, you know. Oh, nice. Yeah.

20 bucks in a Captain Morgan flag you ripped off the wall? No, I think he charged me like 120, which, you know, 120 in 2013. I was like for a pair of concords that fits me. Those shoes were kind of hot for a minute. It was all the hype at champs in the mall. I was like, okay. Yeah, yeah. So that's about it.

That's about any. I feel like everybody kind of has this random, like your first pair. Like my dad still has the story of his first pair of Jordans. Like first actual pair of Jordans. Like you bought them. Yeah. That whole thing.

That's like our. Like our version of like, you know how guys are like, you're your dad, well my dad. Dad's of my dad's era are like, yeah, my first car. Powder blue on the outside. Red leather seats. Like we're talking about shoes like that. Like we didn't. We don't own cars, bro.

And honestly, we at least, I feel like we had the presence of mind at that age to be like, give me the most banged up, beat up, battered car. Who cares? Does it go? cool work great works for me I'd wash it in detail it every Friday take your mom out on Saturday I'm like

shut up dude who cares you should see in my car right now there's ice cream on the floor mat forever had to be going on year four now I'm like rotissory chicken juice all over the stick shift thing

back of the day same dip spitter water bottle fill it up fill it up you can hear the water bottle hit the trunk the window on the trunk

the window on the trunk 17 water bottles rolling around your trunk three are this much water you don't know if they're water or vodka uh huh

is that is that pop-off the amount of the amount of anxiety and effort that used to have to go into hiding your dip spitters. Because you couldn't just throw them away even at my house. Because my mom, like, of course you would find out. You know, she's like, I would say she's scrumming through the trash.

But like, if there's something off, she's going to find it. I know. You got to put those under a shirt, under a bag in your back seat, something. Yeah. Yeah, to make sure that it was tucked away. Dude, those don't even make it in the house. That shows up in your house, bro. You're a dead, man.

No, it doesn't make it in the house, but it doesn't even make it in the trash can in the garage. Nah, McDonald's dumpster. Dude, my mom was such, she had such a nose and an eye to her. Still does. But there used to be this, like, vitamin that I hated. That was just horrible. It was like a vitamin pill.

I didn't even remember what it was. I can't remember if I had something going on that I had to like take something or if it was just a like vitamin that they wanted me to have. Regardless, I hated it. And so when I could drive to school, I would be like, yeah, whatever. It's like a prescription thing or like your parents were like take this. I can't remember. I just remember it was like I was 16 or 17. So I know people are just like, what?

Do you have like a good comedian? No. Okay. It wasn't that cool. So I didn't need to take pills In high school for that Right But it was

It was like a pink pill And it was like pretty big And it had a horrible taste I just I hated it Dude like I I hated it So I would just like tuck it with me Take it in the car

And I'd get a little bit down the road And I'd just toss it out the window One day I'd come back from school She's got one of those vitamins That I tossed out the window like on the island. Shut up.

She's driving on the road going to TJNX. Is that one of Joey's pills? Dude, I couldn't get away with anything. When I thought I was like, yeah, dude, I'm like literally,

I'm getting red of the evidence, right? I'm destroying evidence in a safe manner that isn't going to show up in the trash or like under my food and my plate,

whatever. Still. Haunted it down. meanwhile you're just dying of some like disease so I mean think about with a with a dip spitter in a water bottle yeah yeah right man don't and don't even try I had a pull over at the gas station before I got home and if I was getting a little quick splash of dash make sure I discarded everything there checking under the seeds checking under all the clothes and shit in the bag dumpsters are just your best friend in high school you find one that doesn't have a fenced in thing. You find a raw dumpster somewhere. I'm like, this is actually my house now. Everything's going to chairs.

Just everything's going in there, man. Trash bags of stuff. Dumpster. Hey, the one behind ISSA. Just so comfy too that that's never going to find it. Once it's in there, it's never been mine. Never going to find it. Ever.

I had a situation where a homie was part, like, I had two people parked at my house. And we were just like, I don't know, watching college football. This is a typical Saturday. Off season. High school football season is over. College football season's still going on. Watching like Oregon, Michigan, just some crazy sick game. Homies are over.

Going to the mall, you know, that kind of day. My mom has to move one of their cars while we're, gone. Oh boy. His keys are on the island and it's just like he doesn't really know what's in it like all the secrets could be in there for what we're doing tonight but we're, is my shirt

over that? I don't know my mom keeps caught dude it was just a whole like yeah we had to we just went back home. We just aborted the mission did she find anything? No, we went back home before she could even move the car. Nice.

Nice. Forgot my wallet. Oh yeah, I'll move the car. Didn't see your text. Just a bottle of Kamchaka rolling around the floor. Jeez. That's $7 vodka. One time, my parents, they played a prank on me.

Because they had kept telling me about lock of my car, lock of my car. And it was just one of those things that, you know, lived on. Yeah. They'd be giving me shit about not lock of my car because it just wasn't, we lived so deep in a neighborhood and it was just, I don't know, I was just being lazy, stupid teenager stuff. And so me and Dylan Evans got home one night or one morning. And he had been driving.

I forget what it was. Like we came back and his stuff had been in my car and I had the stuff in my car that we had left at my parents' house but we get back after being somewhere the night before and like all the stuff in the car is gone and I'm like that feeling

that feeling when your car gets broken into it's just on another level like I didn't have that much stuff but like Dylan he had a bunch of you know what I mean a good amount of stuff because it wasn't at his house and I was tweaking even more so because I was like oh my God like

then go inside and I didn't want to say anything to my parents or like admit it you know because I'm like damn they're right oh and they just knew yeah they bring they brought it all out like your car Joe it's like damn

okay we're resort to that to the friend did it to the friend making this personal we're resort to that uh oh got it that's crazy not a rim

this in high school podcast, but if you guys have any stories like that, you know, parents taught you a lesson or you had to do something like Ben where you had to rush home to cover something up or move a car or get stuff out of a car.

Drop us a line on the YouTube comments. These guys, L.O.L or these guys are Gmail.com. But what I was thinking about actually earlier today is because you texted me

the Thielen jersey and I texted my brother-in-law the Ben Scoronic jersey because Scoronic went to Notre Dame. My brother-in-law is a huge Notre Dame fan and pushed with Steelers now. But I was thinking I was like

God man, they're really still is just nothing in my opinion like getting a jersey for Christmas. I just my heart, I just got butterflies.

Right? He went right up my chest. I just felt the magic go up my chest. Like I was seven years old. Dude, when you, when you, like, you would,

you would eye the boxes. You would eye the boxes and you would see the boxes that were kind of longer, a little bit skinnier, you know, but then you'd pick them up and it'd kind of have a nice, a little bit of a decently dense feel to it.

You're like, this might be, the one. Hey like the Coles box you know like the it's like this high it goes long it's all white it's like doesn't have much structure yeah you know what I'm talking about yeah yeah dude it's like kind of floppy but it's a little heavy and you're like there might be two in here dude or I'm tripping and it's something completely different like a yeah you know you're like expecting it and you open that present it's like a sweatshirt and you're like oh okay right and you're back of your head you're like but where?

It's happened a couple times where I've opened it and it's been like, when I was like nine, I remember it'd be like a pair of like corduroy pants. Okay. Hey, let's get them out. Let's get them out. I know, but you know, you're nine. Be respectful. But dude, you're right.

When you get that box flipped up and the tissue paper's there and you can maybe kind of see a little bit of the color underneath, get the tissue out. Your first one. your first one is different. Hey, what was your first one? My first jersey that I got on Christmas? Or like just your first one ever. I know it was a present for me. That's why I'm saying it.

I mean, yeah, I guess I can't really remember like the first one. But actually, no. I remember it being, I think, on my birthday, red Eddie George jersey. Red Titans Eddie George. But then one of the first ones on Christmas, I think, was when I was eight, my grandparents got me a navy blue briner lacquer jersey. It's funny that your grandparents don't really know like who you like, but you're still rocking with it, you know, at that age? And then that just becomes like your guy for life. Like your parents are just like, all right, let's get him this jersey.

Yeah. Because you kind of don't know who you want either. It's just kind of like a random thing. And your parents are like, let's get him this guy. Well, yeah, me and my brother, and I'll talk about how excited we are for Frank and Ted one day, not too far from now, to where you're just at that age where it's just like, I just want like seven jerseys and I just want them, I just want all the cool players. Doesn't matter team, doesn't matter if the rivals, you know, it's just. It's a way to go. When we were younger, I want a Mike Vic Falcon's jersey.

I was at an eight. I don't know. I never really, uh, I think I was. was in third grade or something. So I didn't really, like, I knew players, but I didn't have like, I didn't know enough to be like, I want that guy's jersey. So my mom just got me like, I think she went to Valley City. And like those, they kind of had some heat. Some logo athletic heat. So the first two I got were Brett Farv and Barry Sanders. And I was like, kind of nice picks. She probably, she probably thought Brett Farv was cute. And the Barry Sanders, Halloween.

Blue, she was like, grab it. They're probably like 15 bucks. Rocking it. Thanksgiving, Packers not even playing. That's nice. In the backyard, jukeing out bushes and trees. Did you go Bear Sanders on Thanksgiving? The Lions playing?

I probably did one of those times. But then pretty soon after I got to know and stuff. And like my friends were getting cool jerseys. Like I think Chiller had like a Randy Moss Vikings. I was like, I got to step my game up. I can't be like getting, you know, just like whatever guys anymore. Charles Woods and Raiders black.

Ooh. Different time. Different time. And I got like a Hat. Raiders hat out of nowhere. I'm like, I'm a Raiders Santa. There's just nothing like it, man.

I don't care. Like I'm 32, but I just, God, I will always be stuck being 10 or 11 years old, just wanting jerseys for Christmas. I think that's every guy Especially dude

Now it hits way harder Because you're getting ones that like you skipped on when you were 10 Yeah Like you and you're finding them And oh that oh Like if somebody got you a jersey that you like Held in your heart when you were like a 12 year old That means the most out of anything

I just remember it either be that box So you be eyeing the boxes You know like I think the other one's got a chance Like I said But then for any clubhouse who has kids of a young age this is your chance to tune them out if you're listening with him in the car

don't know why he would be don't know who has kids that are at this age who listens I don't know just just warning just want to get this out there so you can turn it off now but like I had that I had that Santa that would leave shit out he would leave it out

he wouldn't we've been over this before where he didn't wrap it he didn't wrap it so like what you come down the stairs you turn the corner and the stuff from Santa is just out in front of the tree. He doesn't have time. He doesn't have time. He's got a bag.

Four billion houses. Got things to do. Yeah, he's pulling it out. Like the elves already have to make all the shit and create all of it. They don't have time to wrap it, put bows and everything on it too. So, you know, Santa just swings by and he just, boop, would drop it down in front of the tree. So that that's all I stuck in my head, too. It's like turning that corner or whatever, that there would just be a folded jersey.

with the last name right there. Oh, dude, wow. Put it on immediately. It pops too. Like if you open a box and you like see those colors. Oh, yeah. Or it's just like, dude, you're seeing that jersey first before I see anything. Mm-hmm.

Just the screen print sleeves this under a tree. What? It'll always, I mean, it is. just always cracks me up. My wife still make fun of me and just be like, can't you like make a grown-up Christmas list? I'm like, no, I don't, I'm not Amy Grant. I don't want to. All the stuff

I want is from when I was 13. It always will be. What is that for girls? Like, what's a girl's jersey? You know what I mean? Like a new straight hair. Something that they wanted just as badly when they were like 10 or 11

as they do when they're 32. I don't know if it exists. Girls, girls don't do that. But like, what's the feeling like when a girl gets like this? You know, I guess the easy thing would be jewelry. Like, you know, a December remember. Whatever. Never witnessed that in my life.

A girl getting jewelry around Christmas. What? The jewelry stores really do like amp up the, it's so funny. The dealerships and the jewelry stores around Christmas. I'm like, hey, who's buying this? Who's actually doing that? Name one person. You're saving your relationship.

If you buy your girl a car jewelry for the holidays, it's time to call it quits, babe. Yeah, like, if the piece of jewelry, why not just make it an engagement ring? I mean, what are we doing? If you're going to do it, if you're going to do the act of getting jewelry for Christmas. Yeah. You might as well just make it official.

When you hit it right, though, and you get your girl something she, like, really likes, though. Ooh, dang, you feel like a boss. You're like, okay. The rest of the day, can't tell me shit! Like what? Hmm? Like what? What have you gotten?

What's worked for you before? I hit it right. Actually, I cheated. I saw her Amazon list. She didn't know I saw it. And, dude, do you see a girl's Amazon wish list? You know all the, that's the, that's the, that's the code to

her whole DNA. I'm like, I know everything about you now. Remembered like four things off of it. I'm like, I'm like, I'm in the game. Like everything I, these four things, like, she's gonna be like, how do you know? I'm like, I just, I just knew. I just, I just care that much.

Like a little bag, you know what I mean? Like a little, like one of those little purses. That girl's just love. I'm like, that could be up there, I bet. Yeah, a new, new bag. It was like hot before it got like internet hot. Like I hit it right at the right time. It was like kind of expensive, but not like, oh my God, like one of those bags.

Sure. It like matched everything. I was like, I get it. I can see how. Yeah. And then she opened it. She was like, I've been, oh my, this is literally on my Amazon wish list. I was like, what even is that?

You kind of got to cheat a little bit on that. Like, yeah, you got to ask, you got to ask her friend under the table. Her friend's going to report back probably, but. It's better to be. safe. Yeah. Better to be safe in that scenario. Or like you hear, you know, you hear some rumblings. Like, uh, I'm pretty good at when somebody like says they want something like in the spring. I'll like put it in my notes. Like just for a rainy day. Like maybe something happens. Get on you. Yeah. And just just hit it. I've done that just for people like you too. And I'm like,

I wonder if I'd ever just buy that. But I know what he wants. I know what he wants. I don't think I'm going to get it for him. But I know. It's in the notes. dude. I actually do. I got one for you, bro. I know what you want. See, that's fun. It is fun, bro.

It makes my day. Like, I almost want to get them. That's fun. You know, it's like, that's the whole part of being this age and being, you know, with Christmas is just like, that's where you have to really kick it into gear

because you're at this point where it's like, well, if I really want it something, like that. Like luckily I could just like I can just go buy it who's stopping me. You know, I'm like, do I really need this other pair of whatever it is? Probably not. I need to get a gift. That's the Christmas part, baby. I know, but that's the shit like you said is like when you could come up with something that's a little bit off key, a little bit off kilter, but it's like creative. It's still like, oh man. You know, like my manager surprised me or something like that.

I had no idea that like a gift was coming. What was it? What was it? And all of a sudden, you just get a box, you know, I want to open it up. And it's just like handmade, crafted W flag, like the Cubs. Tough. Like I'm like hang up in my wall, you know. Big, big main cave Christmas for me.

I've got probably like six or seven things on my potential ask list. That's just like, let's get on the cave. This shit. Let's neon sign this. that's the move some of these yeah kind of like that

not rotissory but but like that type of yeah yeah yeah with with shit I like

so so that would make a good transition to what you are asking us for these guys

the clubhouse the listener these guys at gbiltcom um uh Oh, shit. To you, the listener.

The listener. Shut up. That's what I'm asking for. What you are asking are. Just the most random words that are just skyrocketing. You know, they just go off the charts, dude. I think that we are. Should beat the Vikings this Sunday.

This Sunday. Play golf with him. Or! All right. From Nick. Station now about 2010, Justin Black, by Oklahoma State. Ooh.

Dirty. These guys, first time emailer, Day 1 listener. You guys make Tuesday, the best day of the week. God, you're the best. That's nice. Because, yeah, we always saw it. That kind of was one of our reasons.

going back to like, well, when should we drop it? We're like, well, a lot of people do Monday, Wednesday, Friday. A lot of people do Monday Friday. A lot of people do Friday. A lot of people do, you know, I was like, not just Tuesday. Like, I feel like it's pretty, yeah, fairly dead. Like, you know, it would be a little something that can like, cipher us through. And Tuesdays are horrible. Right.

You know what I mean? Tuesdays are the worst day of a week. I'm like, God, Tuesday? Get me through. I mean, there's one. Ever been busier. Tuesdays, I'm like, this, this is crazy. that I have to do all this today.

Even back in college, I remember I would have like four or five classes on Tuesday. It's a very real day. And then you got something like you got to call a game at night too. And you're like, damn, in a test? Do you remember? Then Monday and Friday, I'm like, I guess I have a 9 a.m. That's 50 minutes long. Monday, I'm like, guess I'm taking a day off.

Same with Friday. But Tuesday? Tuesday's so, and like when you're playing sports, Tuesday is like a real ass practice. You know what I mean? It's install. It's all the stuff, dude.

Yeah, you're right. Install. And you gotta know it. I'm like, dude, we just this is crazy. Did I was thinking about this the other day real quick? What about like when you went to school

when you're a kid and you, there was a Friday and you were just in four different classes, you had four different tests. Remember that? Oh, yeah. I'm like, how,

You guys don't talk? Like, how do I afford the biggest test of the year today? I'm like, this isn't college where, like, you know, professors, like, have no idea what's going on. Like, you guys are homies and you're putting, this is crazy. Can we move one of these to Monday? Like, all I'm saying. Yeah.

Real, but it kind of worked double-sided because, you know, that, you know, Wednesday, Thursday, like, oh, my God, dude, Friday. So much is rioting on this with this Friday. Like this is this is gonna make her break But then once you get through it in like seventh period on Friday You're like all right It's done what's done is done How about that? Now it's the weekend

What's done is done How you know you got a 62% on the test Dude that guilty feeling on Friday Like I don't even know if I'm done with this test But like it's just time for me to turn this in Four of them blank the big paragraph ones on the back the teacher's like, hey, Ben, I don't think you saw the back page. And I'm like, oh, I saw it.

Did you want to try to answer any of those? I did. I did try. And I have absolutely nothing. So go ahead, keep it. She's like, okay. I'm like. Or that's where you get it.

That's where you like take it back. I like, fine. And then you just like repeat the question and then put who knows what, just absolute bullshit. Just so there's something on there. Maybe they'll give you a quarter of a point. you know, some sort of credit. I wasn't even saying anything.

Just repeating the question, leaving it blank. Hey, last 10 questions on the Scantron. Guess we're just making a little picture here. C sounds good to me. Uh-huh. Yep. Let's go C, C. That's not going to be three in a row.

We'll go A. Let's get down the other end here. It's never be. It's never be. promise it's never been be just cheating my tail off dude guys cheating his tail off and that's how you get by

all right from Nick though he says native of Cleveland Ohio being a Browns fan had its ups and downs mostly downs my wife's from Plainfield Indiana as a Colts fan and we go back and forth about sports Quakers military family and moving to the indie area at 26 she introduced

me to Beatsa King and the rest in the last year and I love them both I wanted to know your favorite places about that area since this is a nostalgia a reminiscent podcast. Thanks for all the laughs and happy holidays. Sid from my Samsung alias. Wow.

Picture included. Picture included looks pretty sick. What's his name? It's got AIM on there. Nick. Okay, typed in Nick. It's a Nick Lachay. Nice little flip up.

The actual buttons. I could see why I'll take it a call from there. We'll take a call. Oh, this is clean. This is clean. Mm-hmm. Very, very just

exactly what you want in a phone when it's 2007. Mm-hmm. Got the D-pad on there. Dude, who was doing AIM from the phone? That's a desktop-only activity. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Desktop AIM was so fire.

And like you don't text the person the same is what you AIM them, you know what I mean? Like that combo on AIM is so much different than text combo. I'm like, how are you more like playful on AIM? It's so weird. Yeah. I guess that'd be like talking to somebody

in DMs versus Tex. Well, welcome, early welcome to the indie area. I'm still here. Do love beats a king. I haven't been there in a while. I haven't either. But, you know, every now and then randomly, there's like one out by my in-laws.

And usually around this time of the year, actually, because there's just so much different shit going on, we'll be over there and they'll be like, you're thinking of just doing a handful of pizzas from Pizza King. I'm like, I just remember their sausage is just like nothing else, you know? It's just like, like scrinkled. Ground, that's it.

They be ground in over there. And I'm like, this is good. I'm not a sausage pizza guy, but. I'm not either, only from Pizza King. Pizza King with the square piece with grounded sausage all over. And I'm like, yeah. Come to Mommy. Yeah.

So for the non-locals of the Indiary, Indiana, Pizza King, it's obviously pizza chain. That's around here. And it's just, yeah, known for its thin crust. A whole, you know, you get one of those where like if you eat, pieces of Pizza King pizza It's basically the equivalent of eating like two Hand tossed from a regular place But

But the thing The thing about it was like the dine-in experience At Pizza King when I was a kid The first time I went to Pizza King I was like there's video games at the table Yeah Controller Mounted into the table that we're eating at I was like can we play this

Sega Sonic pizza Train trains Cricket train bringing us our drinks? I was like, yeah. So that's another part too, is each of the booths.

You have a little scenic, like glasses, like a little museum, Mr. Rogers-style, scenic view of a train track, like a play train track. And you're like, oh, this is,

you know, kind of cute and fun. And until you realize that when you ordered the breadsticks, your drinks, all that stuff, do-do, stop at your booth.

You open it up. Oh, my God. And then they would bring the Pete's out, you know, from like a regular way. But yeah, they'd have the TVs in there so you could flip on, you know, you're watching first take back of the day or whatever it is. PTI. Fire. So Pete's King's dope.

Love Pizza King. Favorite places about that area. Just like indie area? I guess just indie area. Yeah. a wrath Scaller I mean that's not

like I was just saying you've been to the Rath Skeller so that's a pretty pretty pop in place especially during the spring in the summertime and like early fall

people out there at the Beer Garden yeah that place goes insane for like when it's like the Irish Fest or something

right or uh St. Patty's Day yeah maybe it's just St. Patrick's Day it's a German Fest German Fest German Fest

did they do German I was like, damn, okay. All right. Packed in the streets. Not too far from there, but everything down by Mass Ave like bottleworks is really, they keep adding more and more stuff. Tons of, you know, really nice date night spots, some pubs down there, a lot of quick food options. You got pins down there. That's just, you know, a bunch of arcade and bowling and all that.

It's always fun. Like when I was living in Indian, like you or like just somebody like one of the homies would be like, you're at pins, I'd be like I'm walking there. Like boom. It was such a fun time because it's like a big space. Yeah. You know, you can like go, you can like run a lap in pins. Yep.

Good thought. You got couches, you know, kick it in the couches, get people together. Outside space. Yeah. I've always been a brewburger guy. Not because I live right next to it. But for some reason, I'm like, I don't know, it just seems like low-key but like upper echelon restaurant.

Yeah. Feels like a little secret little spot. Is ball and biscuit still there for a minute? I was like, this place slaps. I think so. I never been there. Ball and biscuit. Bring your girl a ball and biscuit.

Never been there. But yeah, you keep going up and down Mass Ave. The Eagle. really good Bakersfield really good garden table got really good breakfast brunch lunch scene uh

yeah I mean the same restaurants you know all the fancy ones prime and um I really like commission row it just went up it's right literally like attached basically to the Pacers Arena Gamebridge commission row though it's like a you know

fancy steakhouse and eater eat everything you got to speak easy in the basement called Mel's is pretty cool. Just naming every restaurant in the city. We're just fat asses, dude. This is really what it is. Like, I've never had a bad thing to eat in my life.

I'm like, all this shit is amazing. Honestly. I'm trying to help everybody out. You know, that sounds like a fairly common question. I love all the things we've said. I'm not saying it's bad. But like, I'm just naming every restaurant I've ever been to him. There's a red lobster on 135.

There's five guys in the corner of Washington. in Pennsylvania. Kind of slaps. Wing stops right next to that too. Getting Sommia cookies. It's on I-U-P-U-I's campus. It's a whole thing. I don't know if you've heard of it.

Papa Johns. It's a, I mean, try their sauce. It's like a homemade family recipe. That's a fairly common question. I still get in my Instagram DMs. Hey, coming for the game, an indie. Hey, I'm an indie for the, you know,

Rex? Got any recommendations? Italian joints in town Iotos, very big Iotos podcast here. I like the myelinas and Fountain Square. Vitos on the south side. Arias is a famous one that's downtown as well. Yeah. So it's just a handful there for you.

And for anybody coming around. St. Elmo Christmas decorations going insane. Yeah, I passed by there and I was like I know They got it The colored lights Oh baby I know

I'm like damn I need to get a day night in there I need to go I need to take the wife The old old shit Have a nice little time They did those lights so good I'm like that has to be against fire code Or something like it is

They hooked it up The whole thing of saying that's like It's fire code I know yeah I went in there and I was like this is like a map on James Bond. I was like, this is a call of duty map in a like infiltrate the basement. I'm like, this is crazy.

Turn a sharp left. I'm in the kitchen. I was just looking for the bathroom. Like, there's seven rooms downstairs. This is the Jim Mersey's favorite room. He used to live in here. I'm like, where are we? And the stories get wilder and wilder every time that you go in there around people that are part, like,

something about Peyton Manning comes up no matter what. Yeah, he's, him and Eli would come in here. This is Peyton's room and him and the entire offensive lineman would rent out this entire place

and they would sleep here the night after games because they would be so wrecked and I'm just like, the first time I came in here was just like, yeah, Peyton Manning came in here every now and then. Now it's like,

okay, hey, all right, I mean, cool. Like, they slept here and they actually ran seven on seven days. down here that were all these barrels were they did skelly yep actually uh Peyton he really towards the end of his time he uh really wanted to just do it all in once so they do walk through the night before the game uh down here so then have our famous shrimp cocktail all right sounds good uh this is from Chris game boy AFC Sega game gear NFC Yeah

Game Boy is dark Light dark It really is That's what it comes down to Doesn't it? Game Boy is colorful You get the The bright kind of

Handhelds right You think of like The blue or the red And then I think a Sega Game Cheer or whatever I'm just like Ah it's dark It's Batman

It's NFC What's a What are the handheld systems Right now Switch And then Is there another one? Is there a...

I think Switch is just totally dominated the market. Like I think they just ran with it. I think PSP needs to come back. That was ahead of its time. I was like, this is crazy. I think we've gone so... I think we've gone so around the circle

that the original Nintendo's and Gameboys I've seen on TikTok and advertisements and stuff it's like, the perfect millennial gift, you know? and it's literally like a preloaded game boy that you would see back of like 1989 probably not like officially but it looks feel like everything is the exact same

with like you know they have like Pokemon and shit like that on there so I think that it yeah like it went to just totally dominated by the switch to where people were like all right well we need to like figure something else so they went back around I don't know. Game Boy is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life.

The way I wanted a Game Boy. Oh my God. I mean, like, it's the perfect present. Oh, you get it for Christmas. Then you got to drive to like your parents or your grandparents' house. Playing that on a road trip? You wouldn't hear a word for me.

Mm-mm. Wanted it so badly. But at the end of the day, I've still never really been like that big of a video game guy. But like not a lot of people I knew had those either. so it felt like extra special. I was like, he's got a Game Boy.

One, you can see all the wires through. And the kids, the kids who always did, they'd like toss it. I'm like, you really don't give a shit, do you?

Like, that's prime time hardware right there, bro. And you're just throwing it on your bed? He spoiled the little fuck. Okay.

Chris continues. Underrated game on Nintendo Game Boy was paper boy. Did either of you ever have a paper route or occasionally think how cool would it be to be riding on an open street with rolled up newsravers ready to perfectly loft into each end zone or, I mean, driveway. St.ish, you know about the Colpeper to Boss connection? Chris in L.A. Yeah, that's like, no, I never had a Paperboy game. And I know what you mean about that job.

It's like when you were, when I was like 12, probably like 11 to 13, before I could really get like an actual face. side summer job or whatever but I did I would be like you kind of have either like cutting lawns or raking leaves or a paper route one they really knew like where the hell do you where does that come from how do you get aligned with that you get all the papers two it kind of seemed like it was just from the movies

or a TV show I'm like that's not real job that's not a real job it would be super fun to be a paper boy though yeah like just because you saw them on like ESPN commercials and stuff you know wasn't there like a quarterback that was a paper boy or something and he was just diamond up houses like I was like that'd be a sick job like you get to like it's almost like a game like you get to yeah you get an exercise it's kind of fun it's like a game

if people you don't like the neighborhood you could fucking toss it at the end of the driveway throw it on the roof you know they're all like rubber band it up yeah is that a real job no I'm thinking about it I'm like not anymore just a whole fake thing Yeah, of course. But that Paperboy game he's talking about, I did always want to play that. I had a cool, like, oh, that'd be cool. I'll never get it.

Like, reminded me of, like, crazy taxi, you know, you ever see that game? Yeah, yeah. I'm like, that looks kind of cool, too. What is that? I'll never play it, though. It was like a Dreamcast exclusive. I was like, this looks,

it was always like in the, when you play the game, the demos at Best Buy. It's always crazy taxi. I was like, why? You're right. We had the demos on those things. So much.

fun, dude. I used to just ball hog that it was NBA 2K at Best Buy. Best Buy. Standing there forever. Hey, a couple more just came to mind. Home Depot, AFC, Lowe's

NFC? Yeah, 100%. That's a really good one. Because some, like, I was reading the comments on that, and some people are like, these are all flipped. And I'm like, how do you think like that? I'm like, what kind of brain do you have? Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, you can't possibly think that McDonald's is NFC. Like, where does that? I need to see your thing. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm like, show your work though, bro. Like, give me, what do you got for that? Like, give me the facts.

Lowe's NFC is just through and through 100% correct. I'm like, there's no NFC in Lowe's. They're dark. You know, they're historic. They came before Home Depot. trust them a little more maybe not as fun Home Depot

they got the song they're new you know I mean they're a little more exciting like it's just like it's come on yeah I don't know you were talking

because we said Best Buy and I was like what I don't really think there's another like electric or like was there a competitor with Best Buy anymore RIP Circuit City

but Circuit City would have been an AFC I think I was about to say the same thing Best Buy is taping up its fingers and playing defense in the cold, bro. Oh, shoot. Like, you can't just say Best Buy's AFC

It just doesn't feel right. It's NFC. Somebody said Von Marr in like another department store. I was like, hell yeah, this guy gets it. Good.

I love that. All right, from Ryan. Oh, station now about me joining the station? Jens, long-time listener, third-time emailer. I want to let you guys know, I recently started a new job working at a local radio station. I've always had a high level of interest in broadcasting, media, and radio. And over the course of listening to all these guys' podcasts, I finally decided to say, F it and give it a shot. We'll live enough if you guys had any tips, pointers, or advice for working in the radio industry.

Slop my ass as I hike the who hash ham through my legs like Jim Carries. The Grinch did and the how the Grinch stole Christmas. P.S. One of the top three church Christmas songs that get you jacked up at Christmas Eve Mass. Merry Christmas and keep up the great work. Wow. Let's go, Ryan. Well, congrats, man.

That's awesome. Yeah, that's how me and Ben came up and like professionally, I guess. That was one of our first, you know, whatever. but it's all like me and i know we're speaking for johnson here but like we want to make a movie or a tv show about the inside baseball of a radio station so badly i know there's been some before like the one back in the like late 70s early 80s and Cincinnati i know but especially just really the one that we worked that you know uh because there's just it's such an interesting world Because you mix the business of corporate America, the business side of corporate America, but then also with like the zaniness and wackiness of people who want to be media personalities.

So you're working with a lot of ego and you're working with a lot of personality, big personalities, loud people. Loud, true. Literally verbally and what they wear and how they act. and you have this crossover of them with, like I said, like the suit and tie business execs who are trying to get ad sales and trying to think about the clients. It's just a very interesting world to be in.

And it was a lot of fun. I mean, there was a lot of times that I would get super pissed off and frustrated and be like, this is the worst. But looking back now, I mean, I had a ton of fun. And you weren't even in it as much as, like, Like, you kept your distance, which is always nice.

I was just, I was overnight crew. I was like, stick me with the wild, the wild 11 to 6 a.m. Where I'm just doing like sports report stuff. I don't want to like do graphics. Like, yeah. I get it though. Because I don't know. Because I think I had a, I had another job.

So I like wasn't all in. Yeah, but you also just, you didn't want it to be that way. like you said, like you wanted to be in that world and have the access and the, you know, to like try to be on air, like work in that industry. Because it is. It's like a different feel than what I would say, a lot of like your regular jobs would be like a nine to five, you know, like working in radio, sports radio, but just radio in general. It is. Like it's different.

It's fun because it's not, at the end of the day, you're like, we're doing radio. you know, it's not like we're selling medical sales equipment and shit like that, you know what I mean? Not there's anything wrong with that. It's a very lucrative business. A lot of people will do it. But I feel like that's just like,

that's a pretty heavy shit. Literally and figuratively, like, you got to like get that there so some people could get saved and like, I don't know. But with us, we're just like, I don't know, do we get these rejoiners been logged into the system?

It's like, yeah. Tough if you don't. Dude, it was kind of weird, like walking, you know, you're like new and you're walking down the hallway of like all the studios and there's people on air inside of them. Never been more intimidated. I'm like, oh, yeah. I'm like, you guys are doing that in there live? That's crazy. What if I just went in there and screamed or something?

You know, you're like, have that intrusive thought. What if I was went in there and unplugged everything? That's all I was thinking about. That's so true. And like, yeah, they go to break. They'd go to a break and you see the host like go out there and go to the break room and go. go to the bathroom. I might be like,

you gotta hurry, dude. Like, bro, you're about to be, there's like one more commercial on you're back on. How's this guy even know what he's talking about? Like, all that stuff. All that stuff's go through your head.

And then also, you know, traditionally in these roles, you know, these hosts, a lot of them are a good amount of them are people that you knew of growing up in that world. You know, like where we're from

in indie, the same guys that were on the, on air, were in high school and college were the same guys that were on the air when we were getting those first jobs there. So it's like, oh man, I've been listening to this guy since I was a sophomore in high school.

Oh, he's right there. Holy shit. Do I say something to him? I don't know. Is he a dick? Like, so you're diving into this world of like public personalities. It's just very interesting.

I highly encourage, I'm happy for you, Ryan. That's exciting. But yeah, anybody who's kind of listens to us and has that kind of thought, like maybe you look into it, you know, like, if you're not too, like, ingrained of what you're doing already, maybe you are, I don't know, like, give it a shot. It's a pretty, it's a pretty fun time. Yeah, tips, though, I'd say just, I don't know, just. Got to do it all, dude. You're going to start from the bottom. Yeah. You know, you got to do it all.

Got to do those overnight weird hours. That's one of the things. Don't be bigger than the program. Yeah, that's one of the things about working in radio or sports ready. like you're it's one of the tradeoffs for having kind of a quote unquote fun job is you're going to work times that other people aren't working you know like you have to do 12 to 6 on Saturday nights or you have to do 7 to 1 a.m. on Friday nights or you'll have to like work on Christmas night or you know all that shit will pop up. You know you're like driving in the car on Christmas you turn on the radio station there's like a host going crazy. I'm like he's working right now. That's insane. You know, it's probably voice tracked I know, but in my head, I'm like, that's crazy He's just in studio ripping it up on Christmas Like this guy's a savage

Let's get to the more pressing question though From Ryan One of the top three church Christmas songs That get you jacked at Christmas Eve Mass Man, I don't know I think you know But I can't even name one Are there like actual Christmas?

Oh Silent Night with Peace mixed in? That's a big one. Silent Night with a side of peace to the closer on the Christmas program when you're in fifth grade. Silent peace. Peace.

Peace. Peace on earth and good. Yeah. Well, it's. Yeah. And when they come to get, this is, oh yeah. Holding hands, doing the whole thing, bro. Showing out Christmas program meant it was time.

Christmas has officially begun. Dude, the, was Christmas program? It's almost like the finish line. You're almost like, I know, but I'm like, yeah, it's break. Like, we're out of here. It's time. What was, it was Christmas program like December, like, 15th or something?

Yeah, I feel like it was always like maybe the week before Christmas break. Like the Wednesday or Thursday before Christmas break. Really the first time you were like putting on, you know what I mean? Wear something nice. Going to school after it closes.

Got jelling my hair. Who am I? Am I a singer now? I guess I'm a singer now. I'm in a boy bamp. Dude, oh, holy night. I mean, come on. Let me hear it a little bit.

You know, the part where it gets really powerful, the fall on your knees. Oh, here the angels born. That's crazy. That part goes, Ooh, baby. That is nice. That wearing a sweater, kind of hot,

poinsettas everywhere. Just as far as the eye could see. To heaping Christmas trees, touching the ceiling in your church on the altar. I'm like, they really did their thing. You're like, Father, let that happen? Advent candles. That'd be like my countdown to when Christmas was.

second one's burning. I'm like, we're getting there. Hey! Mm-hmm. Fuck in! Mm-hmm. Dude, I went to a caroling party last year. Like, the whole thing is everybody just gets together, celebrates Christmas time. But the dude who hosted it, we're talking like 50 people. Dude who hosted it, like, hired out a piano player and came in and this guy was actually

like playing everything when we had caroling books that had all the lyrics. and whatnot for all these Christmas carols. So yeah, it's just like, everybody's just like getting drunk, celebrating Christmas time. But it's a good precursor to like the weekend where all the Christmas parties are. It's kind of like at the beginning of December, you know, so it's kind of getting people in the spirit.

But when I tell you, when we sang, oh, holy night, and we had the mix of the females and the guys coming in. And when the build to that crescendo where everybody went to fall on your knees, Dude, the way I like got emotional, it was powerful. It's funny, dude. I highly suggest anybody like you do that or if you're at Mass this year and you play, oh, holy night, like wait for that part and let it. Honestly, don't even sing.

Just like kind of like look around and take it in. It'll get your ass. Did you see him cry during, oh, holy night? Well, I see crying. I was just saying, oh, holy night. First time crying in 15 years. first time crying since I broke my leg in third grade football 52 years old

we just play it oh holy night just got me sorry I swear the only time you show emotion Christmas it is dude it's it's powerful I'm not that's no that's no joke all the Catholic help me is out there you either know or you're got to find out

um yeah so holy night uh peace on earth Silent Night crossover You know I don't like a little drummer boy Oh come Oh come Emmanuel
