THESE GUYS! - CINCO DE MAYO + SHANE BATTIER + HUNTY MOTHERS DAY

Episode Date: May 5, 2026

There really is nothing more terrifying than a pack of 17-year-olds who think they rule the world. We map out the ultimate survival guide for sleeping in Grbac’s 1999 Buick LeSabre, breaking down why you have to avoid the rich kid neighborhoods and park near the house where the dad smokes in the garage. The conversation shifts to the pure agony of high school travel baseball tournaments in Virginia, the panic of calling into local sports radio shows just to give the most useless takes, and why Shane Battier is the greatest NBA role player to ever ruin a playoff game. Plus, we drop a legendary story about Matthew Stafford casually slinging free drinks behind the bar at the Greasy Spoon in Athens.🤝 *JOIN THE CLUBHOUSE DISCORD*TG CLUBHOUSE https://discord.gg/7X63C4HF8y📬 *SUPPORT THE SHOW*Hit us up on the email line: [e-mail]🎧 *Listen to the full pod*https://open.spotify.com/show/0DCF4F4r78p0eXiD3fyh2Lhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/these-guys/id1649757408🍻 *Follow us on Instagram*These Guys! https://www.instagram.com/theseguyslolBenedict Polizzi https://www.instagram.com/benedictpolizziJoey Mulinaro https://www.instagram.com/joeymulinaro🧢 *50% OFF ALL MERCH with code BALD at checkout*https://www.benedictmerch.com00:00:50 Drinko De Mayo00:01:28 Beeeeeeeer00:03:09 WEIT STOP00:04:51 INDIANALAND50000:06:01 Grbac Jersey?00:08:05 Mothers Day00:09:22 HUNTY00:13:17 Mom Flowers00:17:26 Dog Mom Gifts00:20:00 Radio Callers00:25:05 Cubs Call In00:26:02 Friday Scores00:31:26 Animal Fries00:33:58 Buick LeSabre00:35:17 Favre Mural00:36:46 Car Sleeping00:42:30 Winter Shorts00:45:42 Coach Rants00:52:08 Bad Practices00:55:01 Travel Ball00:57:22 Shane Battier01:04:15 Steelers 201001:06:09 Bible Hoops01:13:39 Scary Seniors01:21:39 Gators Orange01:26:01 UGA Stafford01:32:43 DISCORD

Some wild suggestions in there, but maybe the most wild one was, well, actually, there's two. One was talking about getting a custom Gerbach jersey. Dude. Come on. And we've seen this.

We know this because of the Boston boys showing up with the Hunty customized New England Patriots. jersey. One of one. These guys live in Chicago. One of one. Yeah, it was red. God. It's like the Pat Patriot

There's kind of, we kind of left it open for you guys. No theme. Yeah. Just play it by ear. Mm-hmm. Yeah, whatever. Jersey's welcomed.

It's always a Jersey party wherever we go. But yeah. Do that. That's less than three weeks. So we'll see you there. See it's there. Appreciate it. Dude.

This week, it's a big week. It's a big hunting week. This week? Do you think, is Mother's Day hunting? Or is that just like being a good dude? Wait, like for, like you're saying, Happy Mother's Day to like your girl or your wife or something like that, like that. Well, yeah, you just, you know, it's a lot of the pressure starts ramping up because you got

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Hi, pretty. See, I think, I think, like, Easter. Did I hope I die like that? Easter definitely the most, the most hunty. But Mother's Day, I think, I think that gets a pass because that's a, I That's a big one.

Everybody's got to be on their A game for Mother's Day. Flowers, all that, yeah. Roses are red. Pilots are blue. Because I don't think that Hunty really is like married with kids yet. In my mind, Hunty is engaged guy. God, he wants to get married so bad. Or he is.

There's like an echo. I don't know if that happens every turn your radio down. I'm like, God, dang, people don't know yet. Hey, you know what that is? That's the producer not doing his job screaming calls. Oh, yeah? You don't think he's telling them? We're getting real insightful here.

We're getting real inside baseball, inside scoop on the radio. Yeah, that's on the producer to, all right, yeah, and what do you want to talk about? Okay, yep. All right. Just, uh, maybe be sure to queue it pretty quick.

All right. And, um, yeah, and turn your radio down and you'll hear a ding when you go on. Man. I've never called in. I always wanted to.

It's a little, it's a little, uh, it's a little, uh, it's a little, uh, I would,

I'd freeze up, man. You gotta really bring it. Yeah. You got to bring something good. Because that was, yeah, depending on the host that you get,

you know, there's like, there's like, three different kinds of hosts in that situation. One is just looking to absolutely rip you no matter what you bring up. Two is somebody who wants to keep you on and like will keep picking your brain, you know, we'll keep diving deep into your theory to kind of make it their own programming.

Yeah. And then one that will kind of be friendly with you. And you're like, oh, wow. Mm-hmm. I think that's the most common one, the third one. See, I was going to say the first one. Oh yeah, that rips you

That rips you And we'll just like straight up just Hang up right away Or even worse Like tell the producer to hang up on them You know Make it a scene I think that might be a little more local

Not a radio podcast or not But I feel like when I'm listening Like ESPN radio They're kind of like More nice about it Even if it's like the dumbest answer of all time They're like Well yeah I see where you could

I see where you could think that. Look at our next caller. Yeah. I was, yeah, the one, the one, the middle one that I just described where they try to like make it their, make, make the caller a part of the program, pretty much make them a guest, you know? Okay.

So, and, Matthew, Matthew, where are you from again? I'm from, I'm from calling in from Novosville on a 5-45. Right. Okay. So Matthew from Noblesville, let me ask you this. So you're saying that it's better for the Pacers to not be in the top four because of the mentality that will then be going into next year. Do I have that right, Matthew?

Yeah, I mean, that's exactly kind of what I'm saying. Okay, so Matthew, let me ask you, would you, like, they fully introduce him again. They start calling them by his first name again. Matthew, Matthew, Matthew. I'm like, this guy just won't give it up, dude. Like the most useless point, too, I'm like. And then by the end of it, like, of course, like, for some reason, that radio host is hooking up that,

hook it up Matthew with like, you know, $20 off coupon to AutoZone. Yeah. Being a good sport. Or whatever the, the, the, presenting sponsor of the phone line is. So this is the Chicago's pizza lunch hour and Matthew, do you like Chicago's pizza? Yeah, I mean, yeah, I love pizza. I can't go wrong with it.

Okay, Matthew, well, how about this? How about I, you stay on the line, okay? I'm going to have Davis over there. He's going to set you up. You stay on the line and talk to Davis and he's going to get you a $20 coupon during the Chicago's Pizza lunch hour. All you can eat, Chicago's Pizza lunch hour. Matthew, you call back anytime and you're going to get you

self a $20 coupon to Chicago's pizza. I appreciate that, Matthew. That was like a nine minute segment. About nothing. And you're tuning in and you're like, is this Matthew, is this like, is he a, is he

a Ohio State blogger? Like what? Does he drop an insight on what it? No, it's just Matthew from Noblesville. Calling in the car. always wanted to call man always did it always just you're always waiting for way longer

like it never happens where it's just like call pick up all right yep we'll put you right on and then all of a sudden the host is you know you hear the how long you wait and have you called in what did you call in about yeah I've called in before about what

that comments comments right here what you call in for it's a little shameful, but type it out. This is for the boys only. When you called the radio station, the sports station, station out about that? What'd you call? What'd you say?

I can't wait to see it. Mine was, deep down every guy wants to. Go ahead. Mine was right before the playoffs in 2016 and the radio host of the station was talking about like, I want to get a. feel out of you, the Cubs fan, about are you excited? Are you nervous? Where do you sit as we dive into October here? I want to know, uh, and then gave the phone number and everything.

And I was like driving a truck at the time. So I was like, yeah, yeah, you know, an hour to kill. Let's see what happens. So I dialed it up and, you know, gave my two cents. And, uh, it wasn't really impactful. Yeah, it was kind of just like that's a, that's a third kind. That's a fourth kind, sorry. Or they bring you on and they give, they give the caller just kind of like an open runway for like 30 to 40 seconds. And then they don't even, they're not even really listening.

They're, they don't even really address it. And then once you're done, they're kind of just like, all right. And so Joey had that say. Thank you. We'll go next to Kyle.

Kyle. And you're like, oh, God. All right. Now that really sucked. Jeez. I did call in one time. I called in one time for the scoreboard update Indiana High School football show.

Oh, yeah. You call it into Bob level. Yeah, I had to give the score, like the Chittard Garin game and all the stats, dude. I was so locked in. Oh, that doesn't even count because you were like a reporter in that situation. You weren't just calling in to JMV at 345 on a Tuesday. Yeah, a little bit more like structured, but it was still like kind of like, I better nail this, you know? Yeah, because I was set up to word.

That big day by the running back. Yeah, soft, just a sophomore, 216 yards on the ground. Third start. I mean, hey, this dude doesn't even have his license yet. That one planned. That one in the back pocket. Right, right, right, right, right. Hey, he doesn't need to drive because he can just run you over.

Buck 50 on the ground. canned lines, dude. Hey, no response by the host. All right, I'll just kill myself. It's because he's not listening. Nope. It's all going on in the next thing. It's Ben Politi out there covering shardt.

Hey, Ben, appreciate it. You give your best to your dad, will you? Is he still coaching? Yeah, I need Coach P to call in there. bro that there's nothing more soothing to my brain than listen to a high school football recap show like why do I just want to know the the score of the Mississa Sinawa game so bad I'm like dang bro that was my job for like two years I did the I did the scoreboards on that same show nine to midnight every Friday night and during the fall you felt like you were on you felt like

you're the update lady on Fox Infeld Sunday. But na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-m... You sounded like it, dude. Yeah, I love those updates, too, they come in. And, like, now it doesn't hit the same necessarily now because you have such instant access to everything. You see it on Twitter or whatever. But back in the day, and then when they'd be like,

all right, let's start to the studio where James Brown has a... It's always something crazy, you know? We go to Philly. Whoa! Donald McNab to Terrell Owens, 86-yard bomb. Yep, when you didn't have it on your phone, and the only resource you had to know a score was just the radio.

I honestly remember coming back from a game or something. I was coaching in maybe, and me and my dad were listening to the scoreboard update, and you were on it. I was like, yo, that's ESPN right there. Like, give him two years. Networking, Indiana Sports Update. I'm Joey Mulanaro.

I was like, oh! It was more inside baseball here. I mean, it was a fun gig because, like I said, you were like in the action. But it was tough because it was syndicated. So, I mean, you had to hit your marks. Like, by the second. So when you have a two-minute scoreboard update, you got to go for two minutes and you got to hit it at 159, boom, going into the next thing.

So I'm there, you know, Coach Lovell would come on. And he'd be like, hey, let's send it to. One of my favorites, Network Indiana is Joey Mulnaro. And then I would come in, I'd be like, I appreciate that, coach. Let's start with Center Grove in Westfield.

Cinder Grove on top 42 to 17, big one for the Trojans. And I would start my stopwatch on my phone. And so I'd be peeking, I'd be peeking at the stopwatch and seeing how much I got and where I needed to go. And then at the top of the hour,

last thing I'll say, because no one cares. At the top of the hour, what the fuck are they talking about? Had to go for five, minutes, bro. Oh, I remember that. I was honestly, like, when I knew the inside stuff, like, five minutes. How are they doing that? I'm like, what's he saying? I kind of like that I kind of like that one a little bit more, to be honest, because you had more room to play with.

It was a sandbox, you know? Yeah. So I would have up like seven different tabs and I'd be running through all sorts of different things. Yeah, I'd be going through the stats. I could kind of get a little line in there, you know, every now and then. Like, it was a little bit more free to what it was like, holy fuck, I'm going to do this for five minutes. I always thought about that. Five minutes. I'm like, I haven't even said anything for five minutes ever.

Now I got to do it on the radio for five minutes straight. What if I, what if I'm done at two? I would, I would get done at one minute and 13 seconds. To be like, the bed of music. Forever. Damn it. Oh shit. Man, that's flashed me back.

That was fun times. Friday nights. Then afterwards, go out to Coaches Tavern, downtown Indie. Get some loaded fries and a couple of beers. And we'll meet you there. And that was my life for like three years. Not bad. Loaded fries, bro.

Wow. Wow. Aren't that so insane? Who's ever said no? Every time I see him, it's like a hot girl. I'm like, Man, it can be Animal fries.

I'm like, yo. It can be anything. It can be a waffle fry. It could be a beer battered fry. It could be little thin fries like steak and shake. It could be a regular cut. I wasn't even thinking about

waffle fries. Bro, you put a mess on top of some waffle fries. God dang. Hey, at a concession stand when they have that? I'm like, What a privilege What a privilege Golly

Yeah you're right Just everything Melted cheese Scalions Sour cream Tomatoes I'm like these nachos Halapeno

Banana peppers Rich kid A cilantro on there Rich kid I'm incessant stand I'm like wow Dude you got nachos Your dad gave you money

Before the game What a life Hey Wouldn't even even and eat it too. You're like, oh, man. Half of it. Yeah, dude, I don't like shower cream.

It's whatever. You just don't know how good you have it there. Absolutely not. Anyways. That's just a little bit about me. Let's go to the clubhouse team these guys at gmail.com, shall we? Yeah, come. Oh, my God.

We'll talk off there. It's got a rob, Robert. Greatest name poll of all. time. It says, boys, been sitting on this email for a long time. I just haven't pressed send. I started this draft after the Chicago. Shia.

And had to comment on a few things. One was going to a comedy show by yourself. I was the one that took two of my friends to these guys. And one of them ended up being the girl that first question about marriage advice. So I would highly recommend now trying to do a comedy show solo. Neighbors, we had one growing up named Mr. Hose. Literally the meanest old man ever.

always pissed when a ball went in his yard which was bound to happen with three boys under 10. Gerbach to me drives a 1999 sunbeat navy blue Buick Le Sabre. With blown shocks, cloth interior that has a few cigarette holes from Weed Kid.

Even though he doesn't know exactly hang out with Weed Kid, always has shoulder pads in the back seat or trunk of the car absolutely stinks after summer two-day practices. also was thrifting and found the shrine centerpiece for these guys bar. Candles all around it, donation container to drop some change off in. Also, how Namdi Asimwa hasn't been named in all these episodes is crazy to me. Top 10 name all time. Hope you like to pull.

P.S. Is Chiller's name really Chiller? Bobby. That's a lot to unpack there, Robert. Appreciate it. No, his name is not Chiller. But kind of. But we will never reveal.

What was that? What was that name? That was, okay. Nam de Awesomewa. Oh, shit. No, no, no. Robert Smith. Yeah, Robert Smith.

Robert Smith, like the Vikings running back a long time ago? Oh, fuck. I just out at him. Robert, yeah. It might be him. Does it have to be anonymous? I don't know. I mean, I just.

Yeah. you know, never know what people want or don't want out there. An oil painting of Brett Favre. How about that? I can see the vision. Just throw it up there. Oh. Mm-hmm.

It's like our play like a champion today sign. Everybody rubs his forehead. You got to kiss it before you leave. Everybody would. You know, and you like, you know, in our, like, every high school football locker room, there's, like, the logo on the ground. You can't walk on it. Mm-hmm.

That's our brink. our brett far mural on the ground hey hey don't want no there you go like new guys that come to the bar right and the rest of the clubhouse like polices it we don't have to ever say anything they take care of it

people know dude the guy I talked to for 10 years just the regular at our bar oh my God can you imagine those conversations I think about it all the time whenever I see a building

or like a space around Indy that's up for lease I'm always like Clubhouse Mark that number down We're the bartenders Don't be crazy But I think I think

I think we got a little something there Station, how about that? Derbock 1999 sunbeat Navy Blue Yeah I think what really sold me here is the cloth interior Mm-hmm You can smell

that car right now. And honestly, that car is riding smooth, no matter how old and beat it is, dude. That thing is... Mm-hmm. You can fit a lot of people back there, too. Like, you're only supposed to fit

three people in the back of that car, but you've had, like, nine. Comfortably. It's one of those cars that if push came to shut out, you'd be like, I could probably sleep a night in there if it really came down to it.

It's even, like, on the verge of like, yo, should we take Gerbach's car to spring break? You think, I think it would make it, you know,

you're like having that debate. You secretly, for spring break or like, who is the car we could take? Gerbox car isn't going to let us down. And if it does, he'll know how to fix it. That's right.

Yeah. Good underrated part. Yeah, some of those cloth interiors, I was like, man, if you, if you just had like a little,

you know, like couch blanket back there, you'd be fine. You could crash in there for a night. Done it. Oh, yeah. Right in the back curled up. Use a book bag as your pillow.

Perfect. Feels safe. It feels like home. Yeah. Where are you parking? Rich kids' neighborhood just said nothing happens. No, you can't go too rich kid neighborhood because then you get some, you get some anxious mom, anxious rich mom.

So I'd be like, We, we. There's a navy blue, blue, a buick saber. Right. La Sabre. All of a sudden you wake up to a knock and Rich Kids Dad

on your window. He's telling you to go, or they just straight up call the police and all of a sudden then you get the flashlight. Jeez. Oh, so you have to find a nice balance. You can't go obviously in like a, you know, like a like a grocery store parking lot

to out there in the other. open. You can't go to too rich neighborhood because like I said, then you get rich worried moms. Can't go anywhere too close to the school. You got to just find like a nice safe neighborhood. Probably like it's the neighborhood. I'd say it's it's it's find the neighborhood of the friend whose dad smokes cigarettes in the garage and hangs out in there. Safe, safe neighborhood. Man. You're like, I could hang out here forever. You know, it's like, it's, it's probably a bunch of families like that,

that the dad's out there smoking in the garage watching NASCAR anyways. But then like maybe some older people who aren't really paying attention too much. Got good separation between the houses. A lot of trees. Yep. It's an established neighborhood. Like, they know what's going on. Old trees, not new trees.

No. We got, we got willows. Yeah. Big, big, big, huge. trees that you can maybe get you know tuck underneath one of those maybe it's drooping a little bit in the summertime got some got some cover

there's a couple houses that have like RVs park next to the driveway you're like now we're talking baby I'm home uh huh yeah no worries we're good yeah they know they know yeah I'd say find that neighborhood right in

I'd say find that neighborhood um if you're With weed kid, he's like trying to smoke in. And you're like, dude, I got to, we got to like crash in here. We can't just be crashing with the weed smell. He always thinks like he's not going to smell like weed too. Dude, it's good.

Like, we can't even like. We'll crack the windows. Like, bro, you smell like weed all the time. The weed kid never thinks he smells like weed. I'm like, bro, it's your whole thing. We call you weed kid for a reason. My mom knows your smoke. This interior?

here, like it's seeping into that. Oh, yeah, forever. It's going to take a week for me to get that. I got to drive down 465 with all the windows down. And it's February. How cold is that? You ever just do that with your friends? Oh, we see that all the time.

Freeze out. Yeah, Gerbuck and weed kid. Weird, weird combo there. Weird tricks with your friends. Chinese fire drill You ever pull that one? It's kind of like so reluctant to do it But you're in the car

So you're like Yeah, you have to Probably aren't allowed to call it that anymore I'd imagine Wow, okay Why would it? It's all good I don't know

I mean Jeez Whatever Guys so It's condition It doesn't know anything It's got to Eric.

Eric says, boys love the show. Played a short clip for my wife once with Joe going off about church attire and she has been hooked since. Wow.

I live a good rant. Thanks. I'd love it. Yeah. We don't get many of these days. It's sad. Curious, if you too enjoy a good rant, maybe from a coach, player,

radio host. And so which ones are your favorite? Jim Mora probably owns five of the top ten all time for me. The goat for me, though, comes from a radio host in Michigan going off about a loss and 2006 by Michigan State to Notre Dame.

Maybe you remember it? I think so. The clip is 18 minutes, but for me, is worth every one of them. Keep up the good work and slap my ass with a new skin for my Nokia phone to always fit perfectly in my carpenter jeans in high school. Damn.

That little pocket, I know exactly what pocket you're talking about, like kind of by your knee. Hey, you know who to wear that? Joking. Dude, I don't know. have he ever wore pants. That's true. I like one.

Honestly, I'm thinking about it. Never seen Joe King wear pants. Everybody has that friend, dude. Not once. Shorts meet snow. Snow, meet shorts.

It's funny how tweets like that will stick in your head forever. Never saw him wear pants once. Don't even think he owned any. Just had every pair of color, Jordans. Mm-hmm. The fire shorts, too,

where you're like, where did you even get those? Like bright-ass, like, like Steelers gold. Steelers gold. With the black down the side. Yeah,

and he got him for the Steelers. Like, he wasn't just like, I need some gold shorts. It was like, I'm wearing these on Sundays, dude. These are my games. I feel that,

man. I totally. I have a, yeah, he got to. I have a whole separate part of my closet and attire. Shoes?

Like, those are Steelers shoes. Yep. Randall L. Steelers jersey on? Kind of a fit. Kind of a fit. Randall, anytime, dude,

in Pittsburgh, I saw a couple Randall L. Steelers jerseys. I was like, they know. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

That's a really good one to have. Frankie has one that Clubhouse listener sent, actually, to us. Because he was clearing out his closet.

it and Frankie hasn't grown into it, but it'll be there. It'll be there. This is something about Pittsburgh that I noticed. I thought everybody would be wearing like a T.J. Watt jersey, but I've never seen more like different players from different eras. Like every single Steelers jersey I saw was from a different like part of, I was like, what? They had DBs.

Like I saw McFadden. I was like, yo. Wow. Yeah, I was like, oh, I didn't even know it. It was a great feeling. I was like, this city, this is a real city. Once you get like the side players popping up with the jerseys, I'm like, oh, yeah, they're about it. I think my favorite one to see is with somebody who bust out just a black James Farrier.

So one of those two. I was like, nice, man. Like you got to respect somebody wearing that, putting in the work, bro. and you're just wearing that? Respect. I saw some Lamar Woodley's. Love that. Yeah.

All right, Eric. Rants, yeah. One that sticks out for me is the Bobby Knight one when he's yelling like the leaked audio and he's yelling about, I'm second fucking tired of losing to fucking Purdue.

That one's always pretty funny. that one from the Cubs manager back in 83 when he's going off he says the F word like 37 times that's actually in the was in the intro for Docch's show 85% of the fucking population is out there working the other 15 fucking population

50 fucking percent comes out here. I can't remember one that really is like embedded in my mind. That people wouldn't know. Of course I have all like the, you know, Mike Gundy. I actually do love him for that, though. That really put him on the map. Yeah. That's an underrated.

That's an underrated career move for coaches, dog. Yeah. Just have an epic rant like that. And then all of a sudden it's like, networks want to hire you. You're remembered that for, like, her. Edwards has lived off you play to win the game. He's lived off of that for literally 25 years. They mean it though.

It's like it can't be like a like a like a thing either. It has to happen in the moment or else people sniff it out. Yeah. Like that Denny Green. They play that so much on SportsCenter. But yeah, this is actually some inside insider info, clubhouse only info. when I played at the University of Indianapolis, the linebackers were so funny.

Like I was hung out with the linebackers. And they recorded Coach Kievers, the head coach. He was the linebackers and like defensive assistant at the time. And he was going crazy in the locker room before the game. And it's like a 25 minute voice message. And we would play it at parties. Like we'd look it up to the ox. Bro, it was so high.

And we'd be laughing. like kind of like, you know, it was like a good, like, I don't know, it was just so funny, bro. Get you all jacked up? Yeah, yeah, but there are some funny parts. He'd be like, no, why the fuck? You laughing so hard, bro. At a party, too? Like, it's just so funny.

That's one of my favorite ones. I wish I still had it. But, like, of course, like one of the shittard guys was like, I'm recording the shit. Yeah. Dude, why you're talking about Rob Jerry, Derry like that? Exactly. bro those guys did not that was the craziest the craziest group of guys

I've ever been around my life chattared linebackers I was like oh my God yeah no local podcast but like they would like run through fires like for fun I was like thank God he's on our team all right mm-hmm no those are yeah those are the dudes that like

you want to you want to roll the party with and being good graces with but you got to we got to watch it a little bit, you know? Like that dude could snap any minute. Thank God he's a linebacker. All of a sudden, you're sitting in the middle seat. You're sitting bitch, middle seat and the back of a Toyota Pathfinder and a shatard linebackers driving. And hey, now you're going 110 over a railroad track.

And you don't even know it. Like, you didn't sign up for that at all. Hey, he looks back. Let's see if we can catch some air. There's stores of them like rolling around on campus like in a van one of them drove a van which is like so linebacker for like and they would rip open the door and like get freshmen like dudes on the football team and bring them in there and like kidnap them for the night like not not on some like weird but like they'd like make them party with them the next day would be like yeah what'd you do last day like dude the linebackers kidnap me? man, I just partied with him the whole night. Like it's just like some crazy night. I was like, damn, hope I get kidnapped.

You know? If I get kidnapped. Yeah. What's my turn? Yeah, for real. They just got no choice. Like, doesn't matter where you're going, like, what class you have. Like, you're coming, bro.

Like, what a tradition? I don't even know if that's illegal. It's a different time. Yeah. Dude, yeah, that's funny. You mentioned that about your. coach because now I'm thinking back to like some of my coaches. And it's yeah,

it's not like public domain, you know, but everybody's got those crazy rants from the coaches that you played for, you know? I love them too. Like there's kind of never been a bad one in my mind. Like there's a couple speeches. People are like, oh, remember when coached before the cathedral game?

I'm like, dude, I don't know. That fired me up, bro. Yeah. I don't care. I just remember I had an eighth grade. we had my basketball coach we had this one we know we just played horror maybe it was seventh grade but we played horribly and we were waiting down there like getting our

shit change is one of those like for the CIO clubhouse you know when you play at such an old CIO grade school that the locker room would be like downstairs in the dungeon basement underneath the court yeah yeah so like when you're yeah when you're sitting there yeah when you're sitting there like pregame and it's like the holiday tournament your coach is going over shit with you and you just here above you because everybody's running like a herd that way then they're going the other way you know the shit's going down you're just like sitting on lunch tables and chairs and your coach is drawing up stuff on a whiteboard like a half lit cafeteria with a stage behind them you're like where the hell are we they have lights aren't working you know there's just like two

ghosts in the corner room over there for sure. Haunted cafeteria. But we're down there, we go down to the steps, you know, go down to the basement, we're changing and getting like our sandals or not our game shoes on, all that shit. Steelers winter coat.

That you got for Christmas? Oh, for sure. All of a sudden, the coach just comes down. It wasn't even a rant because all of a sudden he just goes, he just looked at all of us, he just goes, get your shit and get the hell out of here oh get your shit

and get the hell out of here and like that was it that was the post game speech didn't even say anything like was that bad they just two lines eight words or whatever

oh my god dude for the you had to be so like worried about the next practice yeah that's so that's so real man one time we had a bad

practice and our it's probably the same coach just gave up bro he was just like okay hey you know what let's go home let's go home put the balls in the bag Joe scope Joe scope go home

I was like oh my God I think we might forfeit the season I was like I think he's not coming back so we just like shot free throws the assistant coach was like, I guess we'll stay and just like work on stuff.

I was like, I think he's done. We literally, we drove him insane. We're so bad. Probably all my fault. Jesus Christ. Oh, shit. Yeah, you're like, you're like, but like you're, you're a little bit excited because, hey, he's gone. And practice is kind of over.

But then on the back end, you know it's not fully over. And the next time is going to be really bad. tomorrow is going to be hell but today hey Christian I forget the rest of practice I got that

office marathon on TBS calling my name exactly you're thinking about what's on TV tonight my mom's making macaroni maybe we should

suck more often I know I'm trying to think maybe the season's over dude I'm a horrible version for that Literally every season I've ever played in I'm like, but we could be done

Literally in the playoffs Top two team I'm like but if we lose I'm a bad person We don't got to do this shit anymore And worst teammate Yes That was always so tough about playing like travel baseball When you're like 16 and 17

Baseball dude It's like, dude, you're 17 years old and the prime of party time. Summer, everybody's families or parents are on vacation, so much going on, and you're just in Virginia playing three games in one day. Never understood that one. I was like, those poor guys. You'd have those two teammates that would like really, you know, come on. And I'm just like, bro.

I know. Everybody's in four. Your girlfriend's in four Myers right now. Like, dude, Tyler, Tyler Crouch is spit in game to the girl that I like right now. And you want me to go up there with a mindset to hit this lefty that's going to Radford,

throwing 87, 89? I always just to think about that. When I know that Tyler Crouch has a snapback and a tank top on, God, dude. That's so funny. Hey Chris, none of us are going pro, man.

The hardest out there was 83 on my best day, all right? Oh, what a poll, bro. What a poll. Not a local podcast. All right, excited about this one. We'll go to Will, who says cohort is catching on. These guys, wife and I were eating some Tex-Mex and talking about what we liked. We both agreed that queso from this spot wasn't the best.

but it's good in the context of the rest of the meal. I said, yeah, it's like a role player, Andre Iguadala, if you will. Her eyes glazed over instantly as I likened the carne taco to Steph and the cassidia to clay. So now you're just doing cowherd. She asked, are you going to email that to your sports podcast? Station knows. I said, first of all, it's not a sports podcast. Second, be quiet while I type this email to them.

It's your sports podcast. How embarrassing. What a low-key, like, underground life we all live in the clubhouse, dude. You know? Oh, shit. Well, Will you tell cohort to hang in there and we appreciate the content? Will says question. Great, yeah.

Question for you guys. top five NBA top five favorite NBA role players take care and Will that's a tough one well T.J. not a local podcast but T.J. McConnell's

definitely on that list. I was going to say Derek McKee. Oh now we're cooking. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you know what? You know who's probably number one? Shane Batch.

Oh, God, I hated that fucker. But like, sometimes sometimes I'd be the heat, bro, and Shane Battier was the like go-to guy sometimes. From the baseline? That little three? Not a local podcast, but that dude still have nightmares about that, dude. With his ankle socks, with his ankle socks on like the 2012, 2013 heat. It just would always, dude, dude would finish with five points. in like 13 minutes of play, but would take two charges,

have hit a three that just killed you. Oh, devastating three ball. Damn it. It'll make you stand up and go, God! Fucking Betty Egan! Put a hand in it. The amount of times... The amount of times I...

Every single game! That I screamed exactly that. in my basement from the years 2012 to 2014 has to at least be over 25 there's girls at your house too I hate this bald head

bro he was honestly a nightmare and then your dad chimes in and it's like yeah I hated that fucker ever since he was at Duke every dad hates Duke Flare those Duke guys I mean golly

You think this bad job I've been dealing with him since he was at Duke 15 years ago. Yeah, you think you think baddie's bad. You weren't alive for Leitner. Shit like that. You're just like, God, dang. Now we're doing this?

Okay. Now they're like naming Duke players. Chris Duhon. Hey Oh shit Cory McGettie Was he Duke He was he Duke?

He was Arizona Arizona While he's doing that Hey well Ben looks that up I'll stay with you here well Duke I was Duke

Fuck I don't know why I thought Arizona It's good It's good it's good Because he doesn't seem like Duke He's like too cool Uh The top five role players

Yeah T.J. McConnell for sure. I'd say like, I'd say bad A's on there. Hey, could you go with Robert Ory? Oh! Is he? That's the best role player, bro. Big shot, Rob, I mean.

Clutch! Has more rings than, like, LeBron? Yeah, yeah. That's what the all... Well, if it's all about rings, then is Robert Ory better than LeBron? Is Robert Ory better than Michael Jordan? Always goes to that.

I love the... Robert ory car, dude. Because I hated him on the Lakers. God. And then he went to the Spurs and I was like, kind of like him. I like him. All of a sudden. Dude, a Robert ory Lakers jersey?

Oh my God. Hey, Robert Ory Lakers, AFC, Robert Ory, Spurs, NFC. Mm-hmm. Spurs anything, dude. So NFC. I can't even believe it. I love this fucking show.

What are we talking about? Top five podcast or top five role players. Guys an idiot. Top five role players. Trevor Areza? Three and D guys. Yeah, I was right.

Dude, you really started up now. I was going to say, hey, Hado Turculoo. Oh, oh my, I don't know.

He was kind of a star player a couple times. Like on the magic? I was like, he's kind of their guy. That whole magic team, just like Richard Lewis Hado Turcaloo Jamir Nelson

Redick How many teams was he on? Remember Reddick was on the Nuggets? Was he? Yeah, that Reddick Blazers run was crazy. Who would have thought? JJ Reddick to the NBA what Emmanuel Sanders is to the NFL.

Now we're really talking. Manuel Sanders. Wow. Every single team you can think of. Dude, Emmanuel Sanders on the Titans? Yeah. Well, that's just the Titans way. They just have to bring in every receiver on their way out. They have to bring them in.

Horrible look. But I can just see Emmanuel Sanders on the Titans with the white helmets, taking a 68-yard post to the house. Gone. Every game Emmanuel Sanders played in. 75-yard touch, huh? Catching it from like Zach Mettenberger. Hey, Jake Locker.

Wow. Manuel Sanders, where to go? Do you know? I do know. That's Southern Methodist Mustang right there. SMU. Just seems like it. His name almost sounds like SMU.

Emmanuel Sanders. Oh, I know that. Steelers drafted them in 2010. Hey, how about this? How about this Steelers draft class? 2010. You ready? Took us an hour.

Hour and five. You ready? Yeah. Like you haven't been waiting to say this your whole life. I forgot. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Steelers draft class 20, 2010, 20,

20 twin. Wow. Get Emmanuel Sanders out of SMU. You come back around the six. You get Antonio Brown out of Central Michigan. How'd they know? Who else? Who else? By the way, by the way, Marquis Pouncey is their first pick, first round pick.

Who else? Who else do we get in 2010? Well, that's also come off of 2009 where we took Mike Wallace out of Ole Miss. In two years, you had Mike Wallace, Emmanuel Sanders, Antonio Brown. Mike Wallace, Emmanuel Sanders. Same guy. Marquis Pouncy hung out with him at Cam Hayward's draft at the draft

coolest guy ever has also lost probably 200 pounds every lineman every lineman crazy dude absolutely crazy yeah what a what a draft

all right let's go to Mike Mike just says Java best mm-hmm what's up boys love the pod. Listen to you guys is like a car ride with the boys and that's the highest compliment I could think of. Thanks brother. Turn my wife into a fent and she started watching lovers and

liars but not all F boy because not enough Benny. Feel that. Wanted to get your take on a long standing debate amongst our friend group. We went to a Catholic school and one day at the lunch table somebody asked who would win in a basketball game. The Old Testament or the New Testament? No. I'm firmly on New Testament because of Jesus, aka LeBron, but I like to hear both of your takes. Slap my ass with a palm on Palm Sunday

that I just hit my little brother with for the sixth time, even though my dad told me to, quote, knock it off. I feel like I just got a peek into my future, man. It's all I fucking do with my kids whole day. That's enough. Knock it off. God.

Hands ourselves. That's enough. That's all it is. What an email. Man, really. now, yeah, just absolutely speaking our language here. I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to say, see, to me, this is like,

to me, this matchup is like the Lakers and the Pistons in the early 2000s. To me, the New Testament is more Lakers, more Kobe, more Shaq, more splash, more shine. the Old Testament is the Pistons. It's Ben Wallace, Rashid Wallace, Rip Hamilton, Tayshan Prince, D&U up, knocking you out. Top five. Top five. Tadjon Prince, role player.

Oh, nice. Yeah, totally. I feel like the Old Testament's got a little bit more that grit, a little bit more that dark, heavy, like, you know. You come to the pay, we're going to foul you. We're going to foul you. You're like, you're probably looking at final scores of like 91 to 83. Ooh, I like that.

Guys fouling out. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So it's like on paper, like you said, you would think. Or it could kind of be like, it can kind of be like 2011 Heat Mavericks where it's like, heat was the New Testament. LeBron, the Flash, South Beach. Oh, Sandy Beaches, Aquawaters, Clear Waters, Sandy Beaches, LeBron, D. Wade, Flash.

Electric Energy. New Testament. But, you. Come on, baby. Come on. The Mavericks. Not as much Flash. He got Dirk.

J.J. Berea. God, right? So it's like, a little bit of that. You're like, you don't know. You're like, where did this come from? from, I don't know, they make it work. They're a little bit, you don't get in much shine, that's many people talking about it,

but all of a sudden they come in, they're like, holy fuck. Old Testament's kicked a New Testament's ass. Old Testament's putting Jesus on his ass. J.J. J.J. Berea. Old Testament, you're talking locusts. You're talking disease. You're talking. Plagues.

Plagues. You're talking locusts. That's Jason Kidd. Sackerberg. Shinga. Jason Kidd. J. J. Canaan Able I think Eric Campier

Just an hour of me just listing Bible names is coward Hey go ahead Also for the technical dream called Jacob Adam and Eve Yeah so that's kind of what I would say that that Old Testament, New Testament,

it's giving me those vibes. What you got? What do you think? I'm sorry. I can't stop thinking about that. Title, Old Testament, JJ Berea. Who's not listening? Oh, God. I'd click on that so fast.

I play a lot of people. In private, though, in private. You know, you're just like, I can't let anybody else know. I'm listening to Old Testament, JJ Berea. Wow, if your girl saw you listening to that. What the fuck? Wait. He like listens to religion podcasts.

I don't know. Is that your sports podcast? It's not about that. No, I agree with you. At first I thought you were going to have it flipped, though. Because the late, this is such a crazy thing to talk about.

Because the Lakers, is that that year they had like Carl Malone and Gary Payton? You know, they're just picking people up. Kind of gave me a Old Testament vibe. Yeah, but they still, I mean, they still had Kobe in his prime, Shaq and his prime. They were the definite favorites. Derek Fisher headband over ears.

Can we talk about that? You're like, that's never brought up. That's never brought up. Also could be considered for role player. So gas, dude. He hit that big shot for the spurs and ran into the locker room. I was like, oh. D. Fish is real.

Then he was on like the Sons. You go Derek Fisher, you go Tashon Prince. He should go Robert Ory. You go T.J. McConnell and then Shane Badeer. Shane Badeer. I think they're going to win a lot of games. Pretty solid.

That's like a gritty seven seed. You don't want to see them in the playoffs, bro. Yeah. They're just like a pain in the ass. Like you know that like we're probably going to win this series. but like should be over in five, might go to seven. Not going to be easy. Let's go to Matthew.

Turcalu in there too. Oh my God. Turcule, turkuloo off the bench for the role playing squad. Role playing, role player squad. Whoops. Seniors. That's what Matthew says. Seniors.

Sir Jabaka. Never mind. Oh, wow. Just a throughout. Let's just keep bringing up for role players. Nick Collison. Wow, dude. My sister had a crush on him at Kansas.

What? Anybody who was on those Thunder teams who wasn't Westbrook, Hardener, Duran? Seriously. Can't think of one other guy now. Literally. Mind is blank. Matthew says, Benny and Joey,

hope this email finds you well. Well, I'll have another. Jeez. A few weeks back, I took my four-year-old son just first. Major League game. Luckily, Daddy was not on air that day.

Got to take up. Ding Tong! Guess who's not home? Daddy, because he's doing a show at Bumani. 4 to 7. Filling in. Uh-oh. Guess who's back on air?

I haven't seen my family in two months. Got Airbnb out in Kansas. filling in for Bimani. All right, all right. While we were waiting for the game to start a high school baseball team took their seats, a couple of rows behind us. All right, one of the coaches say,

freshmen, keep an eye on the seniors. And I was instantly transported back to high school and thought, whoa, the seniors are here. Be cool, man. I didn't tell my son not to embarrass me in front of the seniors, but I'm not going to say I didn't think about it. I felt a little pathetic being a grown man and being intimidated by the presence of high school

seniors, but I feel like I can share these things with the clubhouse. I think you guys might understand where I'm coming from. While I'm on it, how come when I was a freshman, the seniors looked like they were 35 and when I was a senior, me and everyone else looked like children. Smack my ass with Matt Judon's red sleeves from his Patriot Days.

Your friend, Matthew, sent for my Z-U-N-E. The Zoon. Kind of rivaled the iPod Touch. Or just the regular iPod for a minute. I got no idea. Bro. Appreciate that, Matthew.

Yeah, no, I mean, that's, I know that very well because, as we've discussed on this show, I was a freshman when Benny was a senior. So. Did we look like 35, though? I can pick out a handful of guys. You guys. You guys definitely looked. You guys definitely, you like looked and it just felt.

Yeah. Yeah. I remember that. Going into a huddle when you're like a sophomore. and like it was when all the senior, I don't know how I was in that huddle, but they were so tall and like you looked under their chin strap they kind of like had to shave.

I was like, whoa. Like I'm playing with like 35 year olds on this team. Yeah, playing with men. Totally. No, but I think, dude, I totally feel that. I, one, in that instance, though, I feel like you have to really take advantage

of the fact that you got your son there with you. And so that's always a nice little grace period, grace space, is that like people, even if teenagers typically, it's like they'll be cool to the kid, you know, and they won't be as much of a dick to you because you got your kid there. At least that's what I've found. But, yeah, I think the reason you feel that, dude, is just because, like, no one will humble you

and put you on your ass quicker than, just like a 17 year old dickhead. Yeah. And they're always right. They haven't experienced anything and they think they're on top of the world. And so it's like they have the most confidence with the least amount of experience. And that's a really dangerous combo. They're throwing it out there, dude.

Their world's so small. So like nothing, they think like nothing will affect them or I don't care. It's like everything is just like a joke trying to make someone. somebody laugh. All day. That's all it is. And that's a cycle of life. That's a cycle of life, baby.

Like eventually, they'll be dads and they'll be sitting there in the same thing. And they'll realize, oh man, when I was that age, I was probably saying some stupid shit to that guy. Oh my God.

You ever meet somebody that you were like a dickhead with? Just because you were just always talking shit in high school. Just like that. And now they're like a completely different person. you're like, oh, you're like this now. Mm-hmm.

Like, I remember when you were like a bad kid. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you grew up. Something happened. Like, who. Like, I was scared to say what's up to you because I thought you were still going to be like snappy. Yeah.

But you're like a, you're like a giving, caring person now. Okay. Wow. Yeah. Oh, you've got four kids and your oldest is in first grade. Oh, okay. You really, no wonder we didn't see you for a long time. Good for you.

Mm-hmm. Disappeared. Started a family. Hey, man. It was great catching up with you. If you're ever interested, my church group, we get together and we do that. Hey, you got any shows coming up? Like something like that. Yeah, right. You used to tell me to fuck myself, dog. Yeah, dude. Oh, my God. Yeah, I, yeah.

We're still scared. We're still scared of them. Yeah. I for sure am. I'm like, yo, he's going to, like, rip me apart. Like, I grew up with this guy. Like, he knows, like, everything about me. Yeah. Uh-huh. That is, it's funny. Yeah, this is something that will happen to me and to me and Benny every now and then.

But it is, like, a cool feeling. It feels good. You walk away feeling, you don't feel better. Like, there's no top in that feeling. Like, the guy that was kind of a dick. Like, you thought there was, like, kind of a weird bee for something. But he was legit funny. He was legit funny.

Yeah. And like, you know, you're always trying to like prove yourself. You see him years later, like you said, yeah. And you think it's going to be that same relationship. And then like you mentioned, he's just like, hey, man, what you're doing? It's so awesome watching you. Me and my wife, man, we just, we see your stuff and we just laugh for a while. You're like, wow, man, I'm going to cry.

This is great. You walk away. You're like, did I win him over? Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah, that's just some shit that happens to us. But like in the and the grand scheme of things, even if even if you're not like, you know,

doing what me and Ben do, like I feel like that can still happen. And you just see him at like Chick-fil-A when you're both waiting for carryout or like you're waiting for a, this always happens to me, you're waiting for a refill. And then like somebody that you, one of these guys or girls can be scarier. Oh, that's terrifying. They'll walk in and they're like getting carryout for their three kids

that are in the car. you know, or taking it to go pick up their kids from school. You have a nice little chat. Oh, okay. So there's at least one less person I think that doesn't hate me. Cool. Like you, wow. That's amazing.

Dude, I don't think a girl's ever said anything like that to me. That would be absolutely a shock. Oh, no, no, no. They wouldn't say anything like that. I'm just talking about like in general. Like even if you're not comics or performers or, you know. Yeah.

But, like, you're just, it's still nice. Yeah, like the dude, one of the girls that was in that group. Oh, oh, wow. Dude, you see them and then they actually will like acknowledge you. Wait, you don't talk shit about me behind my back? I mean, you probably do, but you're way, way friendlier than I ever remember 15 years ago. Dude, that's just a death trap. Any of those girls he went to high school with, it's just, whoa.

Don't want to know. Yeah, God. But what a relief because, like, it's always, at least for me, it'll happen where, like, I'm standing there waiting for a refill. And I, like, kind of look to my left and I see him. I'm like, oh, fuck. But then they'll be like, hey. Oh, wow.

Terrified. And they're terrified of women. Not a surprise. Oh shit Let me see here Let's go to Let's go to Brock Brock says

They just, you know, blow up on you. I would actually love to be hit by Hage. Yeah. Back your neck. I'd be like, yeah. Yeah. Actually. Let's finish up with Adam.

Says, College Town ad campaign Stafford's Story. So this is circling back to the episode where we created Letterman Land where all these different college legends were working in their college towns. Adam says, Joey and Ben, I heard you discuss a small town college ad campaign. where famous alums are working at local businesses,

you hit the nail in the head with the Athens version. Having Stafford and Noshan working out a local diner, this actually triggered a memory for my time at UGA. There's a famous diner downtown called the Grill. That would be the perfect scene for this. See Yelp link below. Ignore the reviews. Food may not be the top tier,

but eating those fed of fries at 2 a.m. after our night of drinking is heavenly. I don't, yeah. I mean, that's all in need. I'm not there for, I'm not there for the reviews, man. I'm there for the, I'm there for the greasy spoon. He says, I went to Ooga at the time, same time as Matthew Stafford and No Sean Moreno,

I had an interaction with Stafford one time that leads me to believe he would be an incredible diner manager. If he wants to spend his retirement working at a greasy spoon in Athens, Georgia, I just know he could improve upon the grill's poor Yelp score. Anyway, here's my Stafford story. One night I walked into a bar called Bourbon Street with a group of friends. I stepped toward the bar, hoping to catch a bartender's attention. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a really tall bartender approach.

I turn to see that it is Georgia's starting quarterback, Matthew Stafford, roaming freely behind the bar. He's slinging shots and pouring drinks at will. He points his finger at me and asks what I'll have. I replied, Jack and Coke. He slides my drink forwards and says, it's all the house. Excellent service. Five stars. Would return and did many times.

Keep up the good work. Love the show. Adam. Holy shit. What a dream that would be. Seeing college athletes Oh my God Saw Victor Oladipa

Had a steak and shake Talk to my girlfriend at the time Thought about it every day since Didn't even acknowledge you No he didn't Didn't even look at me Don't even think he knew I was there Which

Was I? See this is what I'm talking about And I mentioned this before In different conversations is that would never happen today. The five-star recruit, the star quarterback, that would never happen because everybody, all these young buffoons

all want to just take out their phone and put it on TikTok and put it on Snapchat and take away the fun where if you're the starting quarterback, a five-star recruit at a football haven, like Georgia, you should absolutely be allowed and encouraged on a Friday night or Saturday night after a game

to go out with the boys and to feel free without any pressure of oh someone's going to record this me behind the bar taking back shots and pouring them out to people to me that's just is that's one of the perks

that comes with the territory that's literally big man on campus that's what it's for so bad I feel so bad. I feel so bad Yeah, I feel so bad for these dudes and these stars in college. Now shit, it could even be Caitlin Clark.

It can be, you know, whoever, like, I feel like that gets taken away from them because I feel like they just think that they have to be cuddled up in their apartment or their house because I'm like, oh, shit, if I go out, I'm going to end up on TMZ sports because I got the perks of being behind the bar at the local diner. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it makes the player way more lovable. He's like, oh, he's a real person. Yeah.

And sometimes I'm like, for athletes I go to schools, big time ones, I'm like, do they even live on campus? There's no way. Right. It's like, you know Matthew Stafford and his wife on her podcast has pretty much said as much. And you've seen like photos that she's posted and stuff like, Matthew Stafford was living just like any college kid would going on spring break and shit, wearing a half backwards fitted baseball hats, you know, with,

with St. Paddy's Day beads and swim trunks and shit and like that dude was having a great time. He was doing what college kids do. He just also happened to be the future number one pick and the quarterback. God, nobody had any doubts about Matt Stafford.

Isn't that crazy? Coming out? Like, everybody's just like, yeah. He's a dog. Strongest arm ever. I know. Still? Crazy.

Jesus. We're talking about rants, and that kind of got me off on one there, though. It's like, that's a story that you would just never hear now. And I've talked to different college athletes about as much. They'd be like, yeah, man, and just like,

a lot of my teammates and stuff just like don't really do much. Yeah, there's like PR for that now. Like people are like, don't, don't make a fool. You know what I mean? It's too big of a deal. Feels,

feels not authentic. feels like we're losing out on something losing out and some fun. Losing out in some authenticity. Yeah. Kind of a downer. I thought you were going to do do do docking. They want to sit inside

and they want to stream on Twitch. When I was their age, you don't know, you don't want to know what I was doing. They don't know. You don't know. You don't want to know what I was doing. Going out in Bloomington, 1982, they don't know. They don't want to know.

They got today, they're too busy. Okay, they're filming TikTok. They're streaming in their apartment. They're not talking to anybody. See, this is the problem with Gen Z today. You want coaches to be able to get these guys. They don't bond. They don't do anything.

They don't know. Tick-Tick-Tac. says, my ass will be back. Dude, I was like, is he, is he gonna remember the my ass part? Is he ever gonna come out of this character? You leave, my wife texts to me, where are you? Just me down here talking to nobody doing documents. Bro, dude, he'll talk on the radio and it'll go silent for so long.

I think my car battery died. I'm like, dude, did my car shut off? Like dead silent. like you're in a cave. I'm like, it is so quiet. Then it'll be like, oh, no. I'm like, oh. It's so funny.

We get our ass ripped by Bob Knight and then he'd say, oh, I'm going to go out and have a good time. These kids, you can't. They're not too cuddled. You can't yell at them. You can't do anything. Then you go sit back on Twitch stream.

Okay. So real, man. Like he said that word for word probably 65 times. Dude, fake breaks, new segment. Just fake going to break. Fake breaks. All right. Let's get out of here on that one.
