THESE GUYS! - COLLEGE FOOBALL'S BACK + RICH FRIEND'S DAD + LANE KIFFIN

Episode Date: September 8, 2026

The boys are back in the clubhouse defending the honor of morning talk radio, ranking the absolute elite college football bowl game logos of the 2000s, and exposing BP's family for celebratin...g Thanksgiving on July 11th like the freaks they are. Benny recaps his 30-minute drive to Pasadena just to buy a used Texas A&M Revo helmet from Play It Again Sports, and we investigate an eBay-acquired Drew Brees Purdue jersey featuring a sketchy limited-edition red Boilermaker logo. Then we settle the ultimate aesthetic debate: is your favorite college football program a daytime team or a night time team? Hint: LSU is the ultimate night game beast, while Ohio State is forever locked into the daytime slot. For the main event, we reveal our 10000% unofficial 2026 College Football Season Preview awards. To wrap things up, the emails brought a brilliant list of clubhouse-friendly curse word substitutes like shouting "Peerless Price" to save your marriage, a debate over why college athletes like JT Barrett and Perry Ellis seem to stay in school for a decade, and a mutual agreement to end it all if we ever see a couple wearing matching "I'm her hunty" and "I'm his pree ladyyyyy" shirts.🤝 *JOIN THE CLUBHOUSE DISCORD*TG CLUBHOUSE https://discord.gg/7X63C4HF8y📬 *SUPPORT THE SHOW*Hit us up on the email line: teamtheseguys@gmail.com🎧 *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/joeymulinaroFollow our Facebook Page!https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579678466463🧢 *50% OFF ALL MERCH with code BALD at checkout*https://www.benedictmerch.com

Starting point is 00:00:00 So my pick for this is Week 10, November 7th, the East Lansing most overcast game, Maryland at Purdue. Oh my God, dude. Not bad for a fat guy. What up, Clubhouse is Benny Pulitzer and Joey Mullenaro on this week's TG.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Did they talk about AM Sports Radio being the most soothing sound in the world? Maybe. Did they talk about watching Notre Dame at the rich. friend's house and rich friend's dad throws something against the wall because they're losing? No, that never happened. Is Maryland the most boring team to watch? Possibly. Or is it USC? Definitely. Did they talk about Lane Kiffen again? No, but did they mention Joey Freshwater? They might have. Let's start the show.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Drew Bletso here, Troy Brown, there. A gain of 53. I'd say that's a nice chunk. Wait, so hold on, wait. They just act like their sports broadcasters the whole podcast, and that's what the podcast is. Like, I'm confused. Yeah, babe. It's a clubhouse thing.
Starting point is 00:01:16 You just wouldn't understand. TG202. 202. 202. I've seen some slander on TikTok. About what? Dude, I don't know. I've just seen a couple TikToks of girls being.
Starting point is 00:01:31 like the nauseous feeling of powering through AM radio in the backseat of my dad's car on the way to school when I was a kid. I'm like, that's not nauseous. That gives me like peace, you know? I have also been seeing a few of those girls that on the third or fourth slide will say something like,
Starting point is 00:01:57 but it shaped me and it's a picture of her in a Steelers jersey now. I'm like, oh, no-uh. N-uh. Hey, but it all comes down to, and it doesn't matter. It's always a green light, but like what player it was on the jersey, you know? It's like, do I like her or do I love her? But just, hey, as a dad of a baby, a girl baby, gives me a little bit of hope.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Maybe I can crack through there. We can have a little bit of that bond, that father, daughter. little bit something different about a father-daughter bond when it comes to sports teams. Mm-hmm. You know, when you got, you got, you got sisters, you know, when you see a girl and her dad that can, that's their thing. It's like, yeah, me and my dad on Sunday nights, we'd sit down and watch the Steelers. Like, oh, I got.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Your sister's like peak football, girl. Like, it's not over the top, but she knows ball. like a good blend. My sister's like that. They aren't watching games with my dad. They'd rather kill themselves. But like they know. They like know what's going on.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Like yeah. Dude. Oh my. They wouldn't be caught dead. That's. I mean, to be fair, your family also celebrates Christmas on February 12th and doesn't open
Starting point is 00:03:25 presents in front of each other. Like you guys are way over here in your own category of freakdom. bro Thanksgiving on July 11 this year it was the craziest and that was real but all right well hey so July 113 were you getting ahead of it or were you recovering from the year prior yeah the Thanksgiving before we're like you know we should probably do something hey should probably hear of 4th of July might as well just
Starting point is 00:03:50 but a week later like ball all the one it's kind of lit yeah not a sports podcast but we do got a little bit of sports talk coming up down the ring. Just me, you and the email. these guys, team these guys at Gmail. Dot com. Fire in all cylinders. Hey, did you
Starting point is 00:04:12 see that article about Lane? Did you see that article about Lane Kiffin? I see all Lane Kiffin news. My alerts are set. Anytime Lane Kiffin has brought up my phone, do do do do do. I'm like, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:04:27 I'll wake up at 4 a.m. Did you see that the... But no, I didn't see it. The reporting, I think it's in Vanity Fair. I think, like, I haven't read the entire thing. I think. Who knows? The story that came out this week in Vanity Fair was about Lane when he was at Alabama,
Starting point is 00:04:48 and he was the offensive coordinator, kind of doing his rehab program with Nick Sabin. You know how they've all done it, you know, like MustCham, Sark, Kiffin, at all. things I do to be in that program. They go kiss the ring of Sabin and then they get their career back on track. Oh, yeah, I'd sell my soul. But the story goes that Lane would all the time just be out at bars around campus at Alabama. Going by the alias of Joey Freshwater. That's hard, bro.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Hey, Freshwater Jersey? Freshwater, LSU Jersey? Oh! Oh, pull up. Clubhouse bar. Freshwater jerseys? What number? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:36 If you're getting crazy, 69 would be 11 fresh water. Oh my God. Who's not making out with that guy? For the love of God. Hey, lame kiffin comes out week one, week one. Freshwater, 11 on the back. Goatee fully grown. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:05:55 But it's game worn jersey, so it's tight. As the equipment staff, it makes a special, special suggestion, special request. Nike bag on it. Anything, what do you need? Yeah, I just wonder if I could get the freshwater on the back. It already has it. Like, what the fuck did this come from? Is it drawn on?
Starting point is 00:06:19 Cacky pants, freshwater jersey. I'll wear it every weekend for the rest of my. my life. Said Joey Freshwater or Jimmy Chestnut. Hold on a minute. Joey Chestnut?
Starting point is 00:06:39 Chesnut? You're going to all of a sudden, yeah, you're going to see like law firms in Louisiana start popping up. Freshwater and Chestnut. Chestnut, LS. You purple for sure. Purple, Jersey. Yeah, but apparently.
Starting point is 00:06:57 he was just wild and out down there. Like he would be out of the bars going by aliases, talking to the bar owner and being like, yeah, where are the hotties? Can he introduce me to the hotties? I feel like he still does that. I swear, isn't he married? No, he's divorced.
Starting point is 00:07:15 That a boy. I wonder why I liked him so much. Dude, Clubhouse head coach? Blaine Kiffin, LK, Clubhouse Head Coach? I'm just like, he's, you know, we're recording this right before his first game at LSU. And I'm just like, damn, man, you got that dropping like the first game? I mean, I don't even, he has to know the anxiety that's going on there.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Just like, that's brutal. I don't think he has anxiety because he's done so many anxiety, like ridden things in his career. I don't think he has it Like he's like burnt so many bridges And like just everything sucks all the time Then I'll win like 42 to 7 It's like okay Some guys are just build different
Starting point is 00:08:12 Okay Hey Freshwater You got open tab over here on us The way I'd be like Yo Coach Freshwater if I was on his team right now Oh my God Yeah you know that he would Yeah I think he'd probably be down with it a little bit
Starting point is 00:08:30 He'd be like, always down for everything. It's so crazy. He's like, there's never been more drama or like hot water or hot seat for a guy. And he's just like, he'll be all right. I love guy. I love coach. That's how you're supposed to be as a head coach. Like, bro, we got it.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Yeah. You know what? He's the guy. Yeah, he's the necessary friend in the friend group that when you're in middle school when you're in high school and you're on the. edge of, I don't know, this may be bad. You're thinking of all the repercussions. Or if you're already, to your point, if you're already in hot water, you still need that guy.
Starting point is 00:09:12 It's just like, dude, it's going to be fine. Hey, two months from now, this will all just be a distant memory. And you're like, we're in some hot water like back half a senior year. I'm like, yo, dude, if, if like they start. talking and people start it wasn't even anything bad. If they start finding out about this, dude,
Starting point is 00:09:36 what if we don't graduate? And one of the homies was like, hey man, just deny, deny, deny. And I was like, good point, dog.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Let's get out of here. It's a necessary part, man. And I was always so jealous. I was like, fuck, I wish I could be that guy. Could never be that guy.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Because I am so anxiety-ridden, nervous, never want to get in trouble, never wanted to mess up. Oh, my God, what's going to happen? And just to have that dude, it's just, hey, man, we're all going to die one day. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:10:13 I'm like, you don't care about anything. Back there, cool as a cucumber, right? But you're right. Hey, got to have that guy. Need that out of your head, man. Uh-huh. Got to have at least one of those guys on your coaching staff, too. Not that this is a sports podcast or anything.
Starting point is 00:10:31 No. No, what you got there? Texas A&M helmet? Damn it. I was hoping you wouldn't see that. Of course. I don't know. Wow.
Starting point is 00:10:45 I just did something he'd be so jealous of. Just drove 30 minutes to Pasadena just to go to play against sports. Oh, I love Pasadena. Did you pass the Rose Bowl? Didn't even look out the window. just right to play it in sports. The Palmyin Sports just has used Texas A&M Revos?
Starting point is 00:11:13 Dude, it was a find, bro. It was insane. I walked in there just looking for a football helmet. And I'm like, they have some bad, like some sick football helmets in there. Like, because the high school's around here, they're just like, I don't know. And you see like, oh, that's the high school
Starting point is 00:11:29 that one dude went to that I saw on rivals that one time. And then like they just had a Texas A&M joint in there. I was like, I got it. Like I don't care how much that is. I got to buy it. And I was and I was like, should I buy it though? Like maybe it's weird. Like for what? And then I was walking around. Some dude goes, is that yours? And I go, yeah, I just found it over there. He goes, dude. Dude, I just found out there. He goes, I was like, I know. I go, did you go there? He was like, graduated in 72. I was like, oh my God. Oh my God. I have to buy this. Agueland out there in Pasadena? It was just a sign. You know when the stars aligned when you're about to buy something
Starting point is 00:12:07 and you're like, I have to buy this now. Couldn't be more obvious. I had that problem. One day. I had the problem all the time. What are? They're still Adidas?
Starting point is 00:12:17 Yeah. Was there a time when they were Nike? Reggie McNeil era. Clubhouse knows. Yeah. Remember Javorski Lane, huge running back number 11. It was like the first time Texas
Starting point is 00:12:32 played Texas A and, them on like Thanksgiving or have they always for a long time? Yeah. Okay, well it was the first like time where I don't know I guess it was like a super crazy matchup but I wanted Texas A&M to win so about so Thanksgiving
Starting point is 00:12:47 Texas Texas A&M. But yeah that's when they were Nike and then they switched to do a sad, sad day. Check this out. I got this Drew Brees joint. Is that stitched? Stitched boy.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Stitched. Nike. But look at this. Yeah, what's going on there? It was like a special Boilermaker special that they put on a handful of jerseys.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Red. Yeah, I was like, is that my camera that's messing up or is that red? But that's, they wore that in game? I don't remember
Starting point is 00:13:26 for the word in game, but it's the old school. It's the like the roving boiler maker, like the steaming, Boy, The Maker, not the one that's coming completely downhill, pointy. The good one. That's the best one.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Right. Dude, if Purdue throws a little red up in there and their unies, watch out, yo. Yeah, when I got it, I said to Rai, I said, you know, because she's the real boy, I said, is this a thing? Like, what? Do you think this is just, you know, it faded or like, this is just an off-brand one? Because I got it on eBay. And she looked it up.
Starting point is 00:13:59 And I think there was, like, 200 or so that they made that had the red. because it's supposed to reflect something with the boilermaker. And there's something like that. I don't know. Purdue Clubhouse will fact check me. Yeah, I know. I host a show there. Didn't graduate from there.
Starting point is 00:14:14 I don't know at the top of my head. Dude, if I was married and my wife looked up why Purdue had red in their logo, I'd cry for the rest of my life. Oh, my God. This is the most beautiful thing that's ever happened to me. You know, it wasn't. It wasn't down the, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:31 I mean, it's, we're holding down the home plates, dude. Yeah, I know. It's all about the whole play. The week one of college football officially kicks off. It sounds like I got my newest college football jersey. I got to get this out. Drew Breed just went in Hall of Fame, interviewed him last month, and college football started.
Starting point is 00:14:48 So I had to get it out there. Breezy F. baby. Does it say his name on the back? Oh my God. So rare when you see a college football jersey with a name on the back. You're like, wow. You paid for that. Like you.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Yeah. Mm-hmm. Commitment. Nice. eBay, though. You know, you definitely know. You know, Jay Lou knows. I mean, a bunch of clubhouse that Discord knows. You find out.
Starting point is 00:15:17 This was like $43.99. Hey, fake? I mean, probably doesn't feel fake. Doesn't look fake. Never, no. The numbers all lined up. Fakes are getting good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:32 But what's the difference? I mean, like, what, your Clemson one? Like, what do you care if that's? fake or not. There's just something a little off about it, you know? Dude, but I'm like crazy about stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:15:46 But that's where I thought that this was the thing. I thought that this was the indicator that it was fake. That actually happened. Yeah. It was like a limited edition one. Oh. Yeah. I saw something on Twitter the other day. Pat White away,
Starting point is 00:16:02 West Virginia, Nokia Sugar Bowl patch. Ooh Dude was like I'd sell this for $4,000 And I was like Thinking about it
Starting point is 00:16:15 Mel's best Jersey patches Jeez man That is something that's been unexplored College football Bowl game logos It's always NFL
Starting point is 00:16:30 Or Super Bowl For the Super Bowl But college football logos. Gator Bowl? That gator font? Looks like a gator wrote that in the sand. The Sugar Bowl one though, man.
Starting point is 00:16:46 So classy about that. Honestly. And you know what? It was always a little oversized but I was cool with it. I wanted it to be huge on the peck going up into the shoulder. It's like, oh, dude, those lights are bright.
Starting point is 00:17:03 It's 9.45 and We're kicking off and it's New Year's night. Just look at this, man. Just look at this and try not to cry. It's perfect. What? Hold on. Let me do this.
Starting point is 00:17:20 Such a better. Nokia Sugar Bowl is so much better than the Allstate Sugar Bowl. Nokia. Brings a tear to my eye. Any other good ones? Off the top. The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Looks like a bag of chips? Partying. Fiesta? Dude, we're going to the party bowl. Hey, how much would you pay? How much would you pay for this bag of chips? Oh, my God. I was to say national champs.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Oh, dude, the Ohio State one. Ohio State's so toastie does Fiesta Bowl. It actually makes me sick. This is insane to have on a jersey. Dude. That's so much fun. There's nothing more. A party. A party.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Like I said, you're going to the party bowl. Literally party bowl. What an honor it would be to even step into that stadium for that game. I would buy merch, but with no teams on it. Just to Stosio's Fiesta Bowl shirt. Where was I? It was like, it's probably the final four when it was in Indy this past year. Yeah, because I did a few different things.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Like, they had cool shit, but all had the different. schools on it. And I was like, I don't, I just, I'm just like, I like the Final Four logo and I'm glad that it's an indie. I just want that. Of course, I don't have it. But yeah, that's definitely, you know, I don't know if they'd make a huge chunk of revenue, but they would definitely be their niche little category of people like us and clubhouse.
Starting point is 00:19:01 I'd be like, yeah, we go to the Sugar Bowl. It's Georgia against Cincinnati on a random year with Cincinnati's. God. Like, I just want the sugar bowl sweatshirt with the patch right there. It's a good idea. Low key for like home field. Like one of those brands. It's just like,
Starting point is 00:19:19 I feel like they have no restraints. It's just like, you know, make some hats with like just Super Bowl logos and, you know, college bowl game logos. Honestly, March Madness logos just from like the 2000. God,
Starting point is 00:19:36 I'd do anything for a hat like that. And this was great. That was great. Hall of Fame. Those was great about the Hall of Fame. Going back to that heavenly merch store that they had there, they had a whole room full of just Pro Football Hall of Fame logo shit. Can't find that anywhere else either, I don't think.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Yes. This is it. I come to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I don't want the Panthers and the Cardinals on a Pro Football Hall of Fame game because it's that weekend that we were there for that. No. And I don't even want anything to do. And they had the section that had,
Starting point is 00:20:09 Drew Brie's specific Call of Fame, Larry Fitzgerald specific call of fame. But then they just had the straight up of worn it on the show straight up
Starting point is 00:20:18 logo. God, nothing better. Clean. P-F-H-O-F, baby. Let's go. Can't find it anywhere else. We did that at
Starting point is 00:20:31 these guys live in Chicago. We did, at Zanis, we did, as part of our show, we did F. Mary Kill Bullgam logos. So we had a good look at all the different bowl game once. I can't remember what one.
Starting point is 00:20:46 We did do that for Idaho Potato Bowl. We asked to grow in the front row. And I was like, this could be a disaster because I don't know. Like I think her boyfriend just brought her. And she knew ball, man. It was amazing. I was like, oh, my God. Never thought about that.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Didn't it just go like the most obvious one? No, I think she had the input. Yeah. But they, I mean, we, we love the Idaho potato. bowl for a variety of different reasons. One, kicks off the best day of the year, gets to start for Christmas, right? It's a perfect matchup right in the middle of the day
Starting point is 00:21:19 on, like, December 21st. But then also, they put a lot of time and energy into that logo. It's a great design and a perfect idea of the football being the potato. Baked potato football? I mean, come on.
Starting point is 00:21:38 I can't remember what you picked. Citrus bowl logo. What a letdown. Orange Bowl, which everyone used to actually have the orange, that's what I want. That's what I want on a hat. Just that one orange that's like, yeah. You know what I'm talking about? I'm like, God, I love that orange. I want to be friends with that orange.
Starting point is 00:21:57 It was just, yeah, it was the Orange Bowl. It was trying to think back to the different sponsors and the areas of the Orange Bowl. I think right now it's, I think it, ah, is it the Verbo Orange Bowl? I think we're talking like when it was the FedEx Orange Bowl, dude. you had an orange in the FedEx look oh you just love that guy come on a crown a crown on an orange deserves it you earned it there's just some dude the curled orange bowl it's making a bowl the orange is in it it's just a thing that X Orange Bowl God it rolls off the tongue it's got orange in it the
Starting point is 00:22:37 purple also looks good I bet I watch the FedEx Orange Bowl with my dad like literally 16 years row. Like Fed Egg. It's the Orange Bowl. Hey, B, it's the Orange Bowl. We got to watch it. All right. And I always love too because the Orange Bowl used to be where it was late as shit as well.
Starting point is 00:22:55 And now they've switched it with the college football playoff where they'll put it at like noon. Put it at like 2.30. Show some respect. The Orange Bowl and the Sugar Bowl are like the Super Bowl. They shouldn't be played when it's daylight. They should be played when you literally feel like it's two in the morning. Hot teams. always in it.
Starting point is 00:23:16 You're like, yeah, they should play at night. That team should play at night. That's not a daytime team. Can you just imagine if they had the ESPN couch football, and then they opened, and it was the machetees super dome or the Caesar Superdome, and it was daylight outside? Ew. It was a sugar.
Starting point is 00:23:37 It was a sugar hole? I don't want to see that. That makes me nauseous. That. You know, that makes me feel like, that makes me feel like, you know, when you're hung over, but you're not deathly hung over, but you're just hung over enough to be annoyed and still just feel like, ugh. And you go outside, you go outside and the sun is just a little too hot. You're just like, oh, God, like, this sucks. That's exactly the feeling.
Starting point is 00:24:03 It makes me feel like. Then you hear a motorcycle. Oh, my. Okay, I'm going back inside. This is crazy. That's, that's the sugar bowl. That's the thing. That's the thing. I should add to that too.
Starting point is 00:24:17 It's not a situation where you can go back inside and just lay in the dark in your ice cold room. It's a situation where you have to then go get in your car and go to a kid's birthday party. Or go to your girlfriend's family's house for dinner. Off your game. You're just, dude, everything is just, you bro, get this over with, get this out of my sight. This sucks. Wow. That's what a daytime orange bowl or sugar bowl is.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Deep, deep cut. It is true, though. Like some, some college football teams are daytime teams and some are nighttime teams. Michigan State is a daytime team. West Virginia nighttime team. Can you go all stand for daytime team. Florida Gators. Nighttime team.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Nighttime team. Wow. Hey, daytime or nighttime? New game. New game on lock? Uh-oh. Hey, Iowa Hawkeyes, daytime. Daytime.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Louisville Cardinals. So nighttime, bro. Cincinnati Barracats' nighttime team. Yeah. Honestly, a, kind of, I don't know here, might be, could go either way. I think the, I think Miami is a daytime team. Thinking back to like the early 2000s, late 90s, when they play at like noon at the Orange Bowl,
Starting point is 00:25:54 hot as shit. I just think Miami's a daytime team. Maybe I don't think of, I don't know why, Oregon Ducks, daytime team. They really are. Hey, Georgia Bulldogs,
Starting point is 00:26:09 daytime team. Daytime team. LSU night time team. LSU's probably the most nighttime team. Very nighttime team. Alabama, daytime team. Tennessee daytime. Trying to think of a specifically night time team.
Starting point is 00:26:37 I'm like, God, they only play at night. See, what's interesting is that Penn State is known so much for their wide out at night. But to me, they're daytime team. I was going to say Penn State, but I was like, it just doesn't feel right. Something about it doesn't feel right. I think we were both right there right there with it. you know, they have the cool wide out at night. They, you know, really it's like, okay, bring it out one time big late.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Other than that, man, you're lining up at noon. I remember the first time Michigan played at night. I was like, I just can't watch this. Because they like, they always played during the day forever. And then like, I don't know. I don't know. I forget what year I was. I'm pretty sure it was against Notre Dame.
Starting point is 00:27:22 At night, Mario Manningham at night. I was like, can he see? Are we sure he can see? Can we make sure he can see? It's 2011. It was that DeNard Robinson comeback game. Oh, fun team. Fun Michigan team. Too bad there, Adidas. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:44 I can't wait. Hey, I was wrong. Sorry. Sorry, Clubhouse. The top night game programs. Oh, baby. Number one, L. U.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Yep. Number two, Penn State. But it's just, I know, yeah. Number three, this one's exciting. Virginia Tech. Oh,
Starting point is 00:28:15 cool. Number four, Oregon Ducks. It's only giving me four. I can ask for a million if you want me to. Oh, really? Yeah, well,
Starting point is 00:28:26 I was like, I didn't know this was a Googlable question. Oh, it's all. Google Bowl. What's it going off of? Ratings, how many times I play at night, just like what they're known for.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Because, yeah, I see, this is what I said. This is what I prefaced. Penn State is known for that October, wide-out, late game, but they're not a nighttime team. I know. There's a difference.

Starting point is 00:30:05 list Florida's a nighttime team for me that's probably some old people I'm 90,000 years old so I think about that Brandon Spikes South Carolina daytime daytime
Starting point is 00:30:28 daytime daytime teams hey Purdue Purdue See, Notre Dame has been flirting more and more with primetime games at home, but to me I'm just, you're always 3.30 Eastern Saturday on NBC, baby. Iowa, so daytime. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:31:14 Wake Forest daytime. Man, how about that randomly every like seven years or Wake Forest is flirting in the top 25? They'll have an ESPN game against Notre Dame at home. Yeah. I always randomly catch Wake Forest on the ESPN during the day and I'm like, I'll check it out. Yeah. The deacons. I just feel like Chris Fowler just screaming demon Deacons.

Starting point is 00:32:03 and the college football talk. We want to do a little bit of a college football, 2026, these guys' college football preview. So what I mean by that is that, you know, you'll watch your college football lives and your various shows and your ESPNs and you'll get your national title prediction, the game that's going to matter the most to break the season, the Heism Trophy winner, et cetera. We wanted to kind of toy with something that's a little clubhouse talking about college football in 2026. Mm-hmm. So through a few different categories, different nominations for me and Ben to come up with and to slide in the different games or programs to them. So I'm excited to see what you got.
Starting point is 00:33:01 I'm excited to see what you came up with. Why don't we start off with in the 2026 these guys college football preview? the game you'd want to play on NCAA 06 And these are games that are happening like this year This is for the 2026 season The here and now Yeah Okay

Starting point is 00:33:45 September 18th 23rd ranked Houston at 12th ranked Texas Tech Dang nice A lot of red I feel like you know a lot of red But you get the nine time kick
Starting point is 00:34:00 You get two pass-happy crazy historically offensive teams So you're thinking NCAO 6 you're going to just be able to drop back hit B or hit square you know for your receiver
Starting point is 00:34:14 hitting that fade down the sideline put a little loft on it and we're going to be we're talking a final score of like 63 to 57 hot game yeah hot game I'm going Saturday October 10th
Starting point is 00:34:29 South Carolina in the swamp playing at night South Carolina Nike school this year gotta see how it looks on the game. They got the QB that should have gone pro last year. He's fast.
Starting point is 00:34:45 See ya. Florida, never know what you're going to get on like NCAA 06. Like, okay, they got their players. Okay, they got their guys. But there's always like a backup receiver that's like 99 speed. And you're just like, I'm putting him everywhere. Never know, dude. Control is sneaky good on the get a lot of momentum in the swamp.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Bop in R2 I don't know Just a sick SEC Yeah South Carolina Glossy Helmets Finally God man
Starting point is 00:35:23 A world is healing Glossy helmets are back All we needed was one team To bring back glossy helmets We got it Follow the trend Minnesota Vikings Oh my God
Starting point is 00:35:36 Jesus Christ What do we got to you around here. Been waiting and waiting. It's just crazy that like all their players, their front office and their fans are like, we don't even know why we have Matt Helmets still. Like it's like just do it, bro.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Change them. Insane. All right. The most shorts, long sleeve combo game. So we're talking the game you think you're going to be watching where it's going to be that perfect day. where you got the Jordan shorts,
Starting point is 00:36:11 you got either a light Nike, dry fit, long sleeve or a dry fit, a quarter zip that you're feeling comfy, that perfect crisp, you know exactly what we're talking about. Most shorts, long sleeve game. I'm going week seven,
Starting point is 00:36:28 Saturday, October 17th, Penn State at the Big House, Penn State, Michigan. Whoa. I feel like... It's a big game. It's a big. game. Big game. I feel like it's
Starting point is 00:36:42 a couple options here. I feel like it's either going to be the Fox Big Noon kickoff. So it's going to be early enough to like, hey, it's a middle of the day, but it's October 17th. And at that point, maybe it's only 58 degrees outside. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Or maybe it's a later. Maybe that game gets punted to NBC. And it's a 730 slot, the Big House and Prime Time. Hey, um, We actually have dinner plans that we're going to with the Stevenson's. Yeah, it's at seven. So, okay.
Starting point is 00:37:20 Where is it? It's at this brewery. Okay, they're going to have TVs there? Yeah, I think. What a question. Guys first question. Their TVs there? So funny.
Starting point is 00:37:31 We're talking about anything else. Sports brewery or like a, you know, like a IPA kind of fruit beer brewery? Sports brewery. Literally nothing. to do at an IPA bar. I'm like, what do we look at? Guess we'll play this board game for eight minutes. I got to go.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Can we go to a real establishment? I'm not going anywhere that doesn't have 72 plasma TVs mounted across the walls. Where are we, man? Let's go. Figure it out. Bro, there used to be right down the street from my house. There used to be a there used to be a whiskey bar.
Starting point is 00:38:08 There used to be a whiskey bar and they had flat screens in there. going there one night with DJ Dylon right after I first moved to come to see the house, go in there. Like, yeah, I think there's, you know, I think the Pacers are like, there's some NBA games on. We'd go grab a drink and just have the game on, you know. Again, it's just like AM radio.
Starting point is 00:38:25 It's just a comfort. You're not going there to watch it. You just want to have it on. Right. So you go in there. They're playing like my best friend's wedding or something. There's this movie on the TV with no volume. So we're sit there.
Starting point is 00:38:40 we're starting to look at the menu, order, drink. And we both are like, hey, Friday night NBA is on. Could you? Oh, we're not that kind of place. We don't do sports on TV. Okay. So you have a rom-com with subtitles on. Yeah, that's great.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Just so you can make a stand that you're not a sports bar. Kind of my nightmare. My ass. Yeah, so we got up and left. But. Right to meetups. That is a situation here. If it gets punted to then, 7.30, you get dinner plans.
Starting point is 00:39:17 Yeah, you're throwing on shorts, some nice casual shorts, but up top, you're outside waiting. You're getting a little outside beverage drink by the fire. You need a little QZ. Penn State Michigan's on. It's October 17th. I took it a little differently. My shorts, long sleeve shirt,
Starting point is 00:39:38 idea. Low pressure game. Low stakes. We're just watching ball. For me, personally, Michigan and Penn State, like, I got to pay attention to this game. There's a lot going, you know, big, big pregame, could be game day worthy. Like, it's a big deal. So I'm thinking crisp outside, cold foam, running some errands, local grocery store, shorts.
Starting point is 00:40:08 We got the waffle. shirt on. Kind of hitting a jog across the crosswalk. Got coffee in hand. Go back home, put the groceries away, sit down for a little bit. Iowa State Bowling Greens on TV.
Starting point is 00:40:26 And you're invested though. You're like, I love Iowa State, but a little part of me just wants Bowling Green to get the upset here. I knew he was going to Ames in some point. Can it get past the second category. Noon kickoff.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Hey, ESPN2. I just got the, I literally just got the chills. The only time I ever feel emotion is on this podcast when you say ESPN2. Hey, Beth Mowens on the call. Can't write this script any better, man. All right. Oh, man, you got the whole Saturday in front of you. It's a fucking good feeling.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Get a text. What are you doing tonight? Bonfire? so happy I'll punch a hole in the wall amazing all right about the most
Starting point is 00:41:30 it's so easy to please so easy to please it's really not hard just give me Iowa State bowling grain and that's fine and that's all so easy to play we had to record on Thursday night
Starting point is 00:41:44 and Ben was texting me like you go at 8 p.m. Thursday and I was like yeah I mean I have to miss the first half of eastern Illinois, Minnesota, but I guess we'll make up for it. You know, seriously, it's like, just throw that on, you know? Give me a couple of veloes in the mouth. Fucking good.
Starting point is 00:42:01 We're good to go, man. Simple creeds here, man. This weekend coming up, going to a wedding in Chicago. And neither of us are in the wedding, thank God. And so we're going up there and we're staying the night, Friday, Saturday morning. we had to stay the night Saturday or Friday night stay in Saturday morning
Starting point is 00:42:22 and Ryan was kind of like yeah maybe we could do this maybe I might go for a run maybe we could do this and I'm the back of my head I'm like that's first game day of the year you go do whatever you want
Starting point is 00:42:34 I'm good I'll get my coffee I'll come check out a little bit the first part of it you know McAfee yelling and shit get hyped up then maybe I'll throw a little cash clothes on before I start getting ready for the wedding.
Starting point is 00:42:51 I'm going to go down to the hotel bar. No kids. I'm going to go down to the hotel bar at 11. No kids. Watch the headgear picks. Have a couple, you know, have a couple midday brews. By myself, happiest motherfucker ever. Hey, happiest or hopiest?
Starting point is 00:43:14 Who's getting married, Sammy Sosa? Imagine that wedding. Wow. Everybody gets a Louisville Slugger bat. Okay. Louisville Slugger beer bet. Cork on the top. Dizzy bet.
Starting point is 00:43:32 How about the most AFC NFC game? This one is just a no-brainer to me because it's just when I think of college football, aFC, NFC, this matchup, I think maybe two matchups comes of mine, but this one, most of all. Got to go back back to October week six. Bama, Georgia.
Starting point is 00:43:56 I mean, whoa. All right. Georgia's so NFC, right? Undecided. I think I lean a little more AFC there. Because Bama, to me, yeah, that's just old school, not changing uniforms, been around forever, tradition, NFC, beat you up in the trenches. is some about Georgia
Starting point is 00:44:25 I just associate with NFC maybe because they have the same logo as the Green Bay Packers but yeah could be also defense heavy de-line men always got like 10 five-star recruits on the D-line but yeah you're right
Starting point is 00:44:40 yeah they could but yeah Alabama is NFC bro now tomato tomato but to me I'm like they're from two opposite divisions and at the SEC they're always meeting in the SEC Championship or the national championship.
Starting point is 00:44:56 So much red. I know. It's not pretty visually. But that's the most AFC, NFC. What you got? November 14th Michigan, Oregon. Oh, Oregon, AFC?
Starting point is 00:45:15 Oh, my God, the most AFC. Michigan NFC. Yeah. I'm starting to think about it and they could slide over it AFC a little bit sometimes, but pretty like standard NFC team.
Starting point is 00:45:30 Dark. Yeah. Blue, blue collar. Old school. Yeah. Shembeckler. Just say, just NFC. No, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:42 But like those two teams, when they first, when they, when Oregon started playing Michigan back Dennis Dixon era, I was like, this is like weird. Yeah. This is, this doesn't, two different worlds. It's two different conferences.
Starting point is 00:45:53 You're playing this bowl game way too early. You ever think about that for college games? I'm like, this is a bowl game. Hey, the non-conference game is the first three or four weeks of the season when they slip those in. Hey, whoa. Yeah. Texas is always playing somebody. I'm like, are you sure they should be playing right now?
Starting point is 00:46:11 This is too early for this. Dude, Texas, Ohio State this week. Bro, what? Yeah. That's a, there's so much. So much magnitude there. Are we ready for that? A little overwhelming.
Starting point is 00:46:25 I know. Hey, this is a little role play before we hop into this. Hey, we'll have. Don't skip four play college football. Texas, Ohio State. Uh-huh. Can you take me at the dinner first? Right.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Can I get a kiss on the neck? A cocktail even? Get me with some appetizers before you throw some ribs at my face. Yeah, hit us with the, Hit us with the Buffalo Wild Wings Wedge, man. Give me the clubhouse wedge. Let me ease into this. Bam.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Yeah, that's a good one. That's a really good one. I like that one a lot. Great call. Means a lot that you said that. How about the East Lansing most overcast bill? Oh, my God. I can't wait to hear what you have.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Now, I want to preface this. And you can go however way you want about it, but it doesn't have to be at Michigan State. Uh-uh. It doesn't. This is just the award name based on the honor coming from East Lansing. All right. So stay with me.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Of course, when you first think of this category, you go and you look at Michigan State's schedule. And boy, oh boy, was there one that just, absolutely screamed at first instance, this was the winner. And it was week two, September 12th, Eastern Michigan at Michigan State. Yeah. But, but that's not my pick. That's not my pick.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Because week two, although I don't think it'll be sunny, I still know that it'll be overcast in about 86 degrees with humidity and rain. And to me, that's not exactly what I'm looking for. So my pick for this is week 10 November 7th, the East Lansing most overcast game, Maryland at Purdue. Oh my God, dude. It's so rainy. It's so rainy, though. It's not even raining the ponchos.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Yeah, but it's not raining. Everything's just so wet, soaked. Panchos, not a dry. coming down. It looks like, ah, is it about, is it? Every dad in the stadium, is it raining or I just get spit on? Never been a more gloomy, cloudy day. God, I had one picked, but I guess I don't play each other, so it's, it's not even a thing. Oh, no. I had a fake pick. What was it? Tell us what you had. It was Penn State at Michigan State.
Starting point is 00:49:23 Oh, yeah. That might as well be the Super Bowl for that, for this, for this bowl game or for this award. Dude, Maryland, produce, so funny. You know, I mean, at that point, it's like, what are we going to be looking at? Yeah, hopefully a couple four or five win teams, right? Let's get it going. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:49:47 And you know, you know, I'll be in attendance. I can't wait. I can't wait to be not seeing the sun, even a peep of it. Wondering how there's any light out, it's that cloudy outside at Rossade on November 7th. I can't stress enough how much I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:50:05 I think I might have one cooking up here. Hold on. Take your time. Take your time. You'll come in with a shot overhead. I'll keep rambling about this. They'll come in with the shot overhead of Ross Aid. And it's still a pretty good crowd.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Maryland's not traveling for shit. So it's going to be spotty kind of on that side where their fans usually sit in the splotches of red and yellow. And, you know, I guess they have black in there, but they'll probably wear mostly red and yellow. and it's gray and you just hear the concert. So many, so many raindrops.
Starting point is 00:50:40 So many raindrops on visors. Okay, here we go. Yeah, November 14th. Yeah. Washington Huskies at Michigan State. Oh,
Starting point is 00:50:52 yeah. Now we're talking. Yeah. Just downpour. Dude, I think Washington State plays with overcast, Washington plays with rain.
Starting point is 00:51:05 We've found our rain team. It's just a perfect storm, literally. You get those two together. No matter if it's in, no matter if it's in Seattle or if it's in East Lansing. Why do I feel like they're both wearing dark jerseys too? Why do I think Washington would wear purple at East Lansing?
Starting point is 00:51:24 Michigan State kind of wears one of their like random throwbacks. It's like really dark green with gold helmets. That was the coolest thing Michigan State's ever done. Like, yeah. Wear that,
Starting point is 00:51:36 like, copper helmet they wore that one time. I was like, whoa. With, I think L.J. Scott, running back.
Starting point is 00:51:43 They just did, yeah. Oh, when Arizona does that too, the copper. Oh, my God. It's a shame.
Starting point is 00:51:51 This is a totally different thing. It's a shame when a college football team takes a swing with their unies or helmets and it's hard. And it's hard and they lose. So they never do it again. I'm like, God. They're scared to do it again too
Starting point is 00:52:04 And the fans are like Uh-oh, don't do that You remember it happened last time Like shut up Arizona should always have copper helmets Like kind of like some old Miss Old Miss powder blue helmets Like when they used to do that like randomly
Starting point is 00:52:19 Cold All right Just kick out Excited for this one The Coach P wants some beats a B game And, yeah, you can go a lot of different ways with this one. It's open to interpretation, all right?
Starting point is 00:52:39 Station about interpretation? Station, not interpretation of Coach B. This is, I feel really, really excited about mine. I bet we have the same game. I don't know. There we go. Week 13, Friday, November 27th, Texas at Texas A&M. Oh.
Starting point is 00:53:01 Night game Black Friday So the day after Thanksgiving You probably just wrapped up With some shopping Maybe some Christmas shopping Maybe you didn't even get anything But you just went out
Starting point is 00:53:12 To look around on Black Friday Right I'm gonna cry Maybe maybe Coach P's starting to Sweets on Starting to put up to Christmas tree And stuff a little bit Oh
Starting point is 00:53:21 Oh Haven't eaten Right You got this huge game on Hey B They gotta get in some Bapa B Hey B, should we get a pie B? You're laying on the couch, sweats, feet, kicked up, scream, looking right at it.
Starting point is 00:53:43 I'm cricketing my feet so hard, my socks are coming off. Mickey Mouse Toes. It really wasn't so much about the game itself is just the day and the time in which it's playing. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. All right. You know, everybody just had their, well, not you guys, but at some point, maybe you had your Thanksgiving meals yesterday and everything.
Starting point is 00:54:09 So you're kind of just burnout from cooking and making stuff. So it's just, yeah, let's get a pie. Friday night. Beats Thanksgiving weekend. Friday, so pizza too. Friday, dude, if a symbol was every day of the week Friday, pizza. You know? Saturday would be like a drink.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Yeah. Sunday probably yeah true why was I about to say a church Jesus Christ I'm gonna go I'm gonna go to hell
Starting point is 00:54:38 All right what's yours I can't wait for this September 19th My favorite month B LSU at Ole Miss Ooh
Starting point is 00:54:54 the Lane Bowl Let's see I like I like I like Kiffin. I like Kiff. And I want to see what this division two, Ferris State quarterback,
Starting point is 00:55:04 this Chamblis. Nice. Dude, yeah, big matchup. Yeah. All right. Let's see what this Chamblis could do.
Starting point is 00:55:16 This Chambliss. Shut up. This Chambliss. There's always this. Dude. Yeah, like, I'm sure that your pops would get down.
Starting point is 00:55:29 with, you know, Iowa State bowling green, but I just think this one had to go to, like, a big game. Yeah. Because Coach P, I'm sure he would watch those Iowa State bowling greens on his own. He's not going to bother you with it, but for the big ones, that's a, hey, might as well see what B's doing. LSU Ole Miss Party B. Text.
Starting point is 00:55:53 He'll still send me those. Like, I'm about to fly in. Hey, draft party, B. I'm like, I'm literally at the draft party, B. Dude, that would be so funny to get me and you to go there because I just know that like your dad would come stand in there for like the first three minutes of the game and then I'd never see him again.
Starting point is 00:56:12 That's everything, dude. That's everything we've ever done. Like I thought we were locking in, Coach Pee. I thought we were going to be like, you were going to be telling me shit, like coaching it up. That would be crazy. That probably would be his dream, honestly. But nah, he's out of there.
Starting point is 00:56:27 30 seconds first pick. Oh, yeah. Oh, is that right? Then out. Is that right? Ellis... Dude, anytime you say anything to my dad. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:56:39 I'm like, oh, I'm going to kill myself. Jesus Christ. Yeah, let me say, yeah. Is that right? Is that right? I'll say some crazy shit, too. Is that right? I'm like, forget it.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Roll out of this fucking car window on 465. he'd be sitting like he'd be sitting there in his couch or his chair i'd come in and be like coach p let's go you know ls u miss you know yeah good to see good good good to see you as the family yeah that you know doorbell rings get ready to kick off has the pizza comes in all right got some got some got some bopa johns lays it down you're like wow thanks coach then you don't see him again no leaves I actually had some plans It's like All right, yeah
Starting point is 00:57:33 Just us Okay But then I would like That's literally happened With me and my friends Like 30 times And I was growing up Like he'd just leave
Starting point is 00:57:44 And we'd be like All right, yeah I'd look over at Ben Because I'd be like Think of me and Coach Pete We were gonna You know we were talking And we were gonna like watch this game
Starting point is 00:57:53 Break it down And he's leaving I'd look over at Ben And Ben would just like Have his phone And be like just do one of those you go
Starting point is 00:58:03 yeah you just go yeah and then move on and I'd be like okay well yeah be like that funny
Starting point is 00:58:12 all right game you'd want to watch in rich friends basement ooh ooh ooh whoa yeah
Starting point is 00:58:23 big deal elegant whoa yeah go. Mm-hmm. Week 7, October 17th, Notre Dame at BYU. Whoa, pretty rich match up there.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Right. And look, look it, right? It's one of those that doesn't happen too often, but they're both, you know, they both have the religious tie. They both have the wealthy tie. They both have, BYU had its heyday where they were kind of a power back in 80s and Notre Dame obviously is just continuously the biggest brand. So you know that game on the road.
Starting point is 00:59:07 Notre Dame at home, you know, it mostly is here 3.30 and then occasionally they'll get slotted in that 7.30 time frame. But Notre Dame playing that kind of matchup on the road, you know they're putting that at 730 on ABC. BYU probably be like ranked like 23rd or something, you know. They're always 23rd. bro. God. And it'll be at that time of year, too,
Starting point is 00:59:36 where your rich friends family is having like a harvest party or like a Halloween party. And so it's, it's, you're going over there just for that. But then, oh, yeah, Notre Dame BYU's on. So like all the dads and a few of the kids are huge Notre Dame fans, not a local pod there kind of watching at the basement and also have a dual screen going in the garage.
Starting point is 00:59:55 So you can go back and forth. You know, when you go up to get a refill for a beer, or grab something out of the fridge, you don't miss anything because the game's on in the garage too. Speak in my language here. Notre Dame, bro. See, my take.
Starting point is 01:00:12 It kind of, it's a duel. It kind of serves both purposes of of they have the harvest party family get together for like the families and the moms. But then it's also the dad's just like, well, you know, Notre Dame's got the prime time game. And so that's kind of a pseudo Notre Dame party too. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:00:29 both ways no it's a good point I picked a fake game again um so if you need me to vamp a little bit about the new day you yu matchup I can
Starting point is 01:00:44 god I pick Notre Dame too I thought they played Texas this year that was my pick uh it is it has to be Notre Dame though hold on yep yep Notre Dame is such a rich kid they're the
Starting point is 01:00:59 the richest school. Even though they're not, they are. It's Herbie and Fowler on the call. Notre Dame's helmets are the most shining gold you've ever seen under the prime time lights. Kind of an ugly game. It's like the third quarter, your parents are wanting you to go home. And Notre Dame's up like 13 to 10.
Starting point is 01:01:21 I don't know. This is kind of interesting here. I think we're going. Rich kid match up. it's got to be a Notre Dame game BYU's off the table it's not Miami it's not Notre Dame Miami
Starting point is 01:01:37 I think it's Notre Dame UNC because you're there on like a weird like you didn't expect to be there but you ended up at Rich Kids House Bill Belichick coach in UNC big matchup it's on
Starting point is 01:01:54 Notre Dame alum guy hates lives in Indiana hates the Patriots. Let's give another dose. You know what I mean? Can't wait for Notre Dame to beat UNC. Dad is just crazy dad at the football party? Uh-huh.

Starting point is 01:07:41 I mean they Yeah I know I wasn't going to say it Ha All right Let's finish up here with The last of the
Starting point is 01:07:56 2026 these guys College Football preview We're going to finish with Best Week of the season To be a hunting So you all have those times You got to pick a shoes It's a battle, it's a debt we all must pay
Starting point is 01:08:09 Comes this time of the year you know, there's birthday parties, there's Apple Orchards, there's Michaels, there's Hobby Lobby, there's T.J. Max, there's pumpkin patches, there's hay, right, all that stuff. And you can't avoid it. And, you know, me, I'll say, I will say. Like, I do want to be a part of that stuff. I do enjoy that stuff.
Starting point is 01:08:29 But I also know that I have to kind of find, pick, carve out the right time. Mm-hmm. You know? And for some relationships out there, it's definitely like, guys like, fuck all that. I want nothing to do with it this football season and the girls like,
Starting point is 01:08:44 fuck football. I want to do all this. So you got to come to a little bit of an agreement. Yeah, I feel like those relationships are, there's so many of those people
Starting point is 01:08:52 with dudes that are like, oh, yeah, right. And girls are like, I hate football. I'm like, how are you guys married at all?
Starting point is 01:09:02 Right. Because they're bored. That's so depressing. They hate each other deep down. God. Can't wait until they get divorced. All right. So you got to look,
Starting point is 01:09:29 you got to balance it out a little bit, you know? Look at my slate here. What's a light week? You get your weeks you want to avoid. Week one and two, you get your big matchups. It's a little too early.
Starting point is 01:09:42 You know, weeks, you want to get to late October, early November. It's like, hey, we got to really, this is when it's really all. happening here. So I said, best week to be a huntie. Week 5, Saturday, October 3rd.
Starting point is 01:10:01 Right now, the best game on the slate is USC Washington. And you know that's going to be at like 9, 10 p.m. Nice. You got some games at noon and at 2 and at 3 that have a ranked opponent that maybe have the possibility of an upset. I think Alabama's at Mississippi State and like L.C. at Kentucky and weird things like that where obviously those LSU Alabama should win but maybe it could be an interesting matchup if the ball bounces the right way for the home team. But it's not like oh my God, noon.
Starting point is 01:10:37 We got Penn State Michigan and then at 3.30 we got LSU Georgia and then at 7.30. God, what a matchup. It's not one of those days that's bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, you got no break time. Sometimes overwhelming. Right.
Starting point is 01:10:52 Like there's so many good guys. games, I'm like, we're going to miss that game. I wish we, we didn't have to. It's like sad. You're like, we're like, we're not going to be able to watch that game. There's so many good. Yeah. See at a college football final, you know?
Starting point is 01:11:05 Oh, I hope. If you catch it. But week five, it's, you know, first Saturday in October, so you're kind of getting out ahead of it. You're doing all of it. You're getting your, you're getting your apple orchard, but then you're doing the pumpkin patch. Hell, yeah, let's do a hayride if you want.
Starting point is 01:11:20 Sure. Yeah, we can go to, uh, We can go to that brewery that has that fall drink that you want to get and meet up with their friends. Yeah, I don't care. Let's do it. You know, it's state till four. Let's stay till four. Wow.
Starting point is 01:11:36 This is like, I know how much these college football games mean to you. And like, I know how much this does and everything. Like week five, it's kind of light right now. And you have the ranked matchup on paper right now a month out of USC Washington. Again, but that's going to be late. I'm probably NBC. Good call. So you feel good.
Starting point is 01:11:57 Did your homework on that one. To be a huntie, I think every single college football week, you can always find a gym. And you always just want to chill. But then there's like week 15 when Army plays Navy. I think that's what you bypass all the,
Starting point is 01:12:24 stuff and then it's like December 12th or something. Yeah. Little Christmas shopping, do the Christmas stuff. Hunty, hunting mode. There's nothing. It's like college football by week because I think it's after the conference games and before the bowl games start.
Starting point is 01:12:40 So it's just like, boom, found the crease. And who's watching Army Navy? You know? Like, it's always on, but you're like, I got to get out of here. Like, I feel like a loser if I'm watching this game. It's a great, it's a really perfect game to go to TJ Max. To bounce in and out of.
Starting point is 01:13:02 Mm-hmm. You know? You want to go Christmas shopping? You want to go out of the town and go Christmas shopping, do some holiday stuff. Yeah. But then also it's going to be on the lobby. So you're like, I'd never go on ice skating, honey. We should go on December 12th.
Starting point is 01:13:23 I love you. You'll never be skating on things. nice with me. Carrying all the boxes. 18 Christmas wrapped boxes. Ice case slices his jugular is still gone.
Starting point is 01:13:49 Pleading all over. I love you. Merry Christmas. I can't even somehow he's like arms are stretching even further down to his knees. Just keep
Starting point is 01:14:08 adding more boxes on top that he's just carrying. Bleeding everywhere. The girl's like, he's so brave and cute. She doesn't see it. So crazy. You got to have the week.
Starting point is 01:14:28 You got to have the week to be a hunting, man. Oh, yeah. Big time. I got one. I got one. Yeah. You actually already said it. But new theme.
Starting point is 01:14:40 the game you'd rather die than watch like a matchup you're just like I'm good like a real matchup this year yeah yeah yeah making that up no real matchup this year let me let me let me real quick game you'd rather die than watch uh huh who like I can't even I'll do anything I'll do anything but watch this yeah I have one one sec yeah interested to hear okay for me for you go with this one for me i hate watching games when they're played at USC it's always the i the the look of the stadium it's always like i mean recently obviously it's been like so empty always in the middle of the day there's like big signs on their bleachers because they can't get anybody to the games like
Starting point is 01:15:47 It's just they need a new state I know the Coliseum like they just need a new stadium they need to like update that and I would rather die than watch it and the most boring team is USC and the most the even more boring team that they are going to play is Washington Washington USC at USC
Starting point is 01:16:08 middle of the day who's watching that dude get me out of there that's Washington's Adidas I'm like, God, dang. Jedfish is a weird, dude. I'm good. Looking right at it.
Starting point is 01:16:25 Looking right at it in that week, what is that, week five, October 3rd. There we go. Hey, it falls right into place with being a hunting. Go be a hunting and don't watch that shit. True. Good idea. Man.
Starting point is 01:16:44 You got one? I'm going through here right now. God, what's a game that just freaking. drives me nuts every year. Oh, you know what? Oh, shit. Let me. Something about like Colorado State, too.
Starting point is 01:17:03 I'm like, I don't want to watch this. Oh, my God, Mississippi State. I'm like, why is this on TV? I was thinking about that. I saw Alabama, Mississippi State, but I'm like, I'd die. I'd probably give that a watch. I'd watch it for a second.
Starting point is 01:17:21 Hold on. Hold on. I'm trying to pull this up here because I think I'm on the right track. All right, all right, all right. Take your time, take your time. Take your sexy time. All right, here we go.
Starting point is 01:17:41 Mississippi State, Vanderbilt. Game I'd rather die than watch. Nebraska versus Maryland. Oh. Disgusting. Just so boring. Who is actually a fan of them? Can't believe they actually exist.
Starting point is 01:18:02 So much red. Bad colors. Bad uniforms. And it would probably end up somehow being like the Brad Nestler CBS game in the middle of the day on that 3.30 on CBS. You're just like, this is the best that we got. Because the Big Ten has a contract with CBS. I got to watch Nebraska, Maryland with Brad Nessler. Good call.
Starting point is 01:18:24 Maryland, dude. So true. Who's a Maryland fan? And like, are you even? Oh, go Terps! Are you sure? Are you sure? Hey, just realized?
Starting point is 01:18:42 It's on Saturday, October 3rd. Same day as USC Washington. Same day as my pick for a week to be hunting. God, that's a horrible week. Dude. Yeah, big T.J. Max day, boys. Yeah. Maryland
Starting point is 01:18:58 You could also Get ready to Bob for apples Baby Does Nebraska Can't Wisconsin play each other this year
Starting point is 01:19:05 Holy spring game No God dude something about Maryland does just make me so irritated
Starting point is 01:19:16 And I'm sorry Maryland Clubhouse But you kind of know Deep down It's And thank God Thank God they
Starting point is 01:19:27 Maryland brought the script Terps back on the helmet and they've got like the OG uniforms It's a little better than what it was Yeah The Stefan Diggs days with the flag everywhere It was just too much to handle Remember the different 50-50
Starting point is 01:19:48 Yeah It was crazy They were trying to be Oregon so hard It's okay It's okay Everybody goes to your face days, man. All right.
Starting point is 01:20:00 There was 2026. These guys couch football preview. Just for you, Clubhouse. Just for you. The listener. Hit a few emails here. Somehow don't have it up because all my tabs closed. That's just the kind of day, right?
Starting point is 01:20:22 All right. Let's go to Max. Team these guys are gmail.com from Max Marty Giyard. I don't know if he's trying to say Marty Gileard. I don't know. Dear Steyer, second time, medium time. Listening to an old pod where Joey mentioned his dad is in the Discord, and there was a discussion of Coach P. joining.
Starting point is 01:20:40 Need an update on that, Benny. Need motivational Monday out of coach. Also, the NFL needs to change the kickoff touchback rules. Too many drives starting at the 30 to 35 easily. Sid from my Roku TV. Thank you, boys. And Joey, I'm sorry, but who day. Too much Stillers talk here.
Starting point is 01:20:54 Just kidding. It's just for the love of the game. all good hey if you didn't have rivals then where's the fun of that right although I'm seeing an annoyingly
Starting point is 01:21:08 amount that god the fucking offseason super bowl champs every year the Bengals Jesus Christ talk God aren't they good Lord Joe Burrough says this is the year
Starting point is 01:21:20 like Jesus Christ can he play more than 10 games for one year all right there's a lot I doids like that. I'm like, he's playing four games.
Starting point is 01:21:32 Yeah, my dad is in there. Discord. Hop on in there. Best group chat ever. My dad's in there. Don't know if Coach P's in there. And I can't remember what my dad's
Starting point is 01:21:40 username is. I think he's kind of blended a little bit. His picture is him, of course. But his name, I don't think is. My dad will never be in there. I could ask my dad every day.
Starting point is 01:21:52 And he still wouldn't be in there. It's just, I'd show him. Maybe he'd get in there And put a quote in there Every once in a while It'd be nice Yeah, I could doubt that
Starting point is 01:22:03 Dad, hey We got this thing, man People want you to join Is that right B? Dude In one ear and out the other The NFL needs to change A kickoff rule
Starting point is 01:22:20 Yeah, I don't think that's happening I think I think old Raj likes not having to or having to limit those hard collisions and then also starting to 35 means more points. True. In saying that field goal kickers can just kick from anywhere and make field goals now.
Starting point is 01:22:42 84-yard field goal, good. Yeah, we're kind of the last generation that remembers when if it's past 48 yards, you're kind of... It's like, I don't know about you guys, but Jason Eelam, my hero. Yeah, Jason Eel and Matt Prater We're hitting like 56 yarders
Starting point is 01:23:01 And Denver everybody's just like Elyle went 61 I was like Okay Okay bro Like you're him Dude they'll hit from anywhere now We've talked about this
Starting point is 01:23:15 Have we talked about this of why? Because the ball It's got like more air or something Yeah They're like inflating it like I guess there's a difference between kicker balls and like were like normal OG balls that they play with. So when they come out to do the field goals,
Starting point is 01:23:36 they bring in the kicker ball. Yeah. And it's like, the field of helium? Bangin. That makes sense. Let's go to Matthew. It says clubhouse curse words.
Starting point is 01:23:51 Benny and Joey, as an overshel sports fan, And sometimes I get so frustrated while watching my various teams, I say words that are very unbecoming of a Humpty. And as a result, the P-L-L-L-E-L-L-Y in my life can't do. The spelling of this is hilarious. Phonetically, he spells it P-I-H-H-E-Y-E-Y. P-A-Y, no, P-I-H-H-H-H-E-Y, space L-A-Y-Y-E-Y-L-E-Y.
Starting point is 01:24:23 The peele. The pee in my life gets mad at me. With football season upon us, I've decided I need to come up with some clubhouse-themed words. I can substitute for the expletives I often use in order to clean up the old potty mouth. I have a few, but would like for some more suggestions. Instead of using JC, I'm going to start saying Peel's Price. Ooh, good video idea here. Instead of MFer, I'll use Justin Tucker.
Starting point is 01:24:55 You stupid Justin Tucker! Others include shouting Landry Chimette after a bad interception or a loud Biacobatuka after a blown coverage leads to giving up a game-thine touchdown in the fourth. Any other suggestions would be appreciated to save my marriage as false. Smack my ass like my mother would smack my face if she heard half the things I say during a typical football game. Love Matthew. P.S. bitch idea. Matching couple shirts, quote, I'm her hunting for the guy and then quote, I'm his Pile for the girl.
Starting point is 01:25:29 Dude, guys just calling their girlfriends and wives pity is just the fun. Hi, Pity. My Pity's mad. My Pity's mad at me. It's so crazy. Do they even know? Why do you call me that? Dude, if I ever saw a couple that was wearing those shirts that got made,
Starting point is 01:25:59 I would literally just kill myself. Yeah, I just thought about that too. I would stab myself in the chest and I'd be like, I deserve it. It's over. That warrants this. Just like to think about where we started with Robot Hunty and the response that it received. to then stay on it for so long and so hard that we've gotten an actual male and female dating or married couple,
Starting point is 01:26:29 whatever, male, male, female, whatever the couple is, married or engaged or dating, wearing that set of shirts. I mean, I can't accomplish more in my career. Gotta die. Gotta die. Sorry, it's time. My time has come. Hi, pity.
Starting point is 01:26:46 Peerless price is real good. Periless price. Peerless price. Honey, why do you keep saying all those words? Why do you keep? Why do you keep? Is it because you said you'd stop DJ Swearinger? She gets into it.
Starting point is 01:27:09 She gets on. Simulation time. If that happens, you are not alive. You are living in a simulation. Yeah, you gotta kill yourself without having, sorry. Damn, off the top like that, yeah. Am I missing something with the Biaka Batuka? Or is that just like something that's just like kind of like,
Starting point is 01:27:34 like loud? Yeah, yeah. Just get out of you. I think so. There's a couple like NFL players that have names close to Cusswords, and I can't think of them. Yeah, we don't do any prep before this, folks. So this is all at the dome.
Starting point is 01:27:53 NFL player last name. There you go Got to get a little something Just get the ball rolling here The people at Google right now are like Jesus Christ They're definitely doing a podcast You know they like see all the questions
Starting point is 01:28:06 That come in there Ranius Teams that play in the rainiest games College football Raneous teams That's literally what I typed in What the hell's going on? If they really
Starting point is 01:28:21 If they really have You can really Google that Yeah Yeah, dude. I'm like that, dude. I know. I'm like embarrassed to Google stuff sometimes. I'm like,
Starting point is 01:28:33 there we go. Don't judge me. Yeah, Clubhouse. That might be a Discord conversation. And you got some time to think on it. YouTube comments. What else can we throw in there with peerless price? Peerless price is, yeah, that's a great substitution.
Starting point is 01:28:48 Everybody's moms, their wives. You know, they're religious. You want to step on anything. And Jesus Christ is such a common one when your team is messing up when things are going poorly. You just slide in. Let's all change it. Say the Lord's Day. So Lord's name in vain.
Starting point is 01:29:03 Peerless Price. Let's go to Will. Oldest college athletes. Guys, long time listener, third time emailer. At least I think because I can't wrap my head around how these college athletes seem to play at their school for 10 years. Examples. Hunter Renfro at Clemson. Huntie Winfro of Clemson.
Starting point is 01:29:23 Stets and Bennett at Georgia. Sean Clifford at Penn State. Wow. John Moody and Notre Dame. Every plumb. brother at Duke. What college players do you feel like we're never going to move on and stay to that school forever? This is obviously not a sports podcast, so I don't even know why I asked this. Said for my grandmother's landline hanging on the wall in the kitchen that they're finding out
Starting point is 01:29:43 that it actually worked all these years. Well, yeah, Sean Clifford, wow. There's any common theme here with white guys? Yeah, true. It's just like white guys that played four years are all like, Jesus Christ. Bro, nobody likes college more than white guys. Fletcher lawyer. Low key Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow. Bro.
Starting point is 01:30:17 I mean, when you win the Heismet in your sophomore year and then you stay through your senior year? Holy shit. Such a dog. J.T. Barrett. Oh my God. He did go there forever. There was a time where I.
Starting point is 01:30:35 You're legit. Yeah. Not the same team, but Bo Nicks, dude. I swear. I was like, I was like, is he, has he played? Is he like doing a tour of college football? Auburn, Oregon, whoever he started with. I'm like, damn.
