THESE GUYS! - DEATH ROW SCHOOL LUNCH + FALL FITS + SNICKERS GOAT CANDY? | These Guys! 205

Episode Date: September 29, 2026

Is a Snickers bar actually a magic power bar containing healthy fats and essential energy, or did your dad just gas you up at 8 years old so you'd play better in the second game of a Little L...eague double-header? We are back in the clubhouse today making the ultimate case for Snickers as the avocado of candy and admitting that we're both empaths who feel genuinely heartbroken for the unworn shoes in our closets. We recall the tragedy of elite NFL cornerbacks falling off and going to the Steelers for 2 years (Patrick Peterson)  We relive going to your homie's house with an older brother who had all his friends over which felt like hanging out in an All-Star locker room with LeBron, AI, and Carmelo Anthony.Then we talk cliché post-college jobs—from Enterprise rental car salesmen and cold-calling life insurance reps in an Applebee's to corporate quarter-zip guys and Instagram-verified realtors pitching "two-story ranches" in Carmel. To close things out, we construct our ultimate Death Row high school cafeteria last meal (featuring Wednesday Papa John's, country fried steak with extra gravy, and those legendary unbaked freshman-year chocolate chip cookies in thin plastic bags), we pay homage to Chiller for walking into lunch with zero money and leaving with $100 in cash, and debate the most unforgettable ESPN ticker moments in television history🤝 *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 He's like, bro, I have like night terrors. I'm just warning you. And like, so every night I'm like, I can't wait for you to wake up and like scream at the wall. I'm going to be so, I'm going to be like recording it. Never did it. Or maybe I was like, maybe I slept through it. Not bad for a fat guy. You hear that upstairs?
Starting point is 00:00:16 Was that thunder? Is that Tinky Barber or wrong day? That was Brandon Jacobs, dude. Is that my call stuff upstairs? Nah. I have a dog. Just my two dumb ass dogs. that drink was my new nighttime drink me and I've been doing so there's something in it
Starting point is 00:00:37 some pro biotics it's uh it's whatever hell those are they're good for your belly belly pro bellyotics um gut health right when people say i'm like you couldn't say anything like a little nicer it's good for your gut it's uh it's it's it's either uh it's either water or water mixed with magnesium. You're on that sparkling water. Magnesium powder. And then cherry tart juice. Wow.
Starting point is 00:01:09 That wasn't you. That was right for sure. Cherry tart juice. Guess that has some good sleeping magic in it. It's a good sleeping drink. Like, I thought it was a Pop-Tart. So I was like all about it. But then the magnesium is supposed to be good for the body and the muscles.
Starting point is 00:01:25 I don't know. It tastes good. It's a good substance. two for it's sort of saying like, yeah, I think I'll have to do a glass of red the night. A little magnesium drink. In the mason jar with the ice cubes? Good color too.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Yeah. Yeah. Real refreshing color. That'll sell me. I don't care what's in it. Could be a beach drink. Well, straw? You hit that with a straw?
Starting point is 00:01:49 I've been on straws. Right now and then. I'll straw it every now and then. What a special surprise. Been eating a lot of things with a knife and a fork, too. Got a theory. You Castanza? Clubhouse conspiracy makes everything taste better.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Knife and a fork. Pizza? Yeah, so you're being like Costanza. You eating a dessert with a fork. You started doing that in the Yankees front office. You have a Snickers bar. The fork, that'd be fired. Fork and knife.
Starting point is 00:02:15 It works on the episode. Other people started doing it. His boss is kind of like, what's going on? Yeah. How do you eat your dessert with your hands? Oh, yeah. Yeah, dude. So then it's actually, I mean, and I've done it.
Starting point is 00:02:29 before. I've done it with the Snickers Pecan Snickers. Yes. Pretty solid. They've got a banana bread one now. You're kind of the Snickers guy. I love Snickers. I mean, it could just be number one. We're talking top five candy here.
Starting point is 00:02:44 The five of these kids. Snickers is like a huge, huge argument, like, could be number one. It might just be number one. I don't know if it was just my dad or if anybody else out there has the same experience. But growing up, My dad pretty much had me convinced that Snickers were a magic power bar.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Yeah, same here. That's just fat math. My dad would like, I remember vividly being like eight, nine years old, like in between baseball games. You're like double triple header. You'd like, hey, there's ice cold powerade. And I got you little Snickers. What a treat. It gives you a little bit of good sugar, good sugar, you know?
Starting point is 00:03:25 That's a thing. So I was like nine. I was like, hell yeah. He's like, this is good for it. You know. Not like good for you, but it's like, at this time. Yeah. It's a good little replenish.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Yeah, you've burned up in the first game. It's got peanuts. Sugar, good amount of sugar. Nice amount of sugar. You're good. Right, right. And so now, still to this day, 33 years old. Like, if I'm feeling kind of like a little like, ooh, I need a little something.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Snickers. This is before the whole campaign. This is before the whole campaign of, yeah, you're not you when you, when you're hungry. Yeah, it was before all that. Same thing happened to me. dude, we were doing like a 7-on-7 tournament at Indiana State. Tire and fake.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Some at the gas station, Speedway. Two king-sized Snickers, two Gator-Age. He's like, never know. He like always had something like to say, too. He always had like a witty, like tagline. I'd be like Snickers and he'd be like, not me when I'm hungry.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Like he'd always went off during seven-on-seven too. I'm like, dude's eating snickers out here? Yeah. He's like, it's energy, bro. Yeah. I was like, all right. I trust he weren't anybody.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Snickers is like the guac or the avocado of candy. It's got that good fat, you know, healthy fats. I don't know. Just can't trust it. Snickers bar. Snickers bar and ice cold powerade. You're good to go. That's it.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Give it a test one time. Try it out. You know, one of those times maybe you missed a meal. Maybe it's, you know. Meal replacement. Yeah, you're just, you're feeling a little. like, maybe not woozy,
Starting point is 00:05:01 but you got that feeling where it's like, I kind of feeling a little low on the sugar low and the energy. Kind of feel a little shaky, maybe. People doing IVs
Starting point is 00:05:10 at halftime, just bang a snickers. They started putting them in two, though. Oh my God. Nothing looks better in that. Yeah, I was never,
Starting point is 00:05:19 I was never really wanted to branch out from just the regular, regular snick, right? I was like, just giving the classic snake. The king,
Starting point is 00:05:26 OG is so good. But then I started trying to The pecan. The little almond snickers. I think there's like a strawberry one too. Probably. Really weird.
Starting point is 00:05:35 I didn't know how to feel about it. I was very welcoming into the family. Hey, here we go. Peanut butter just never hits right. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:05:42 leave that to a reason. It's a little too much. You already got peanuts in there. You know, the, the snicker is not founded on the peanut. That's a lot to do with it, though. But it's not, when you think of Snickers, you think of the chocolate shell, you think of the nougat, you think of the caramel, you think of the caramel, pulling out when you're taking a bite.
Starting point is 00:06:08 The peanuts, just that nice crunch factor. Oh, okay. I'm kind of thinking about peanuts when I think about Snickers. I'm like the peanuts and the caramel. Like, it separates from like, because like what's, what's a Snickers in a Milky Way? Like, what's the difference? You know, peanuts, dude. Because sometimes, like, I have like a soft spot in my heart when I see.
Starting point is 00:06:29 You walk by a Milky Way, you're like, man, nobody really likes him, you know? I'm going to pick him on my team today. You never do? You ever start feeling bad for like inanimate objects? I'll be walking by candy in the gas station like I can't look at him today. I just like that for him, man, we're just a popular phrase and zeitgeist now, empaths. We're just empaths. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Maybe you said this before, but this legitimately did happen to me. Like, when I was little, sometimes I, I would like flip my pillow over the other side because I felt like it needed some love. See some shoes in your closet. Damn. Bro, never even touched my feet. He's just looking at me every day. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:07:17 It's okay. He's looking at the Jordan Forge. He's like, maybe today's the day. Guy doesn't even know him back here. Start feeling bad, dude. It's always shit. shoes, candy.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Dude, I started out. Man, this happened to be a Halloween night. Halloween night, you're like... I ain't getting touched. You're like, hey, all right, all right, three musketeers. Okay, let's do this. I was into three musketeers, like, weirdly when I was a kid. Like, I was the only one holding it down.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Right. I was the only one keeping them in business. Man, good. Hey, talk about three musketeers. Four. Wait, are they, like, high or something? Like, why are they talking? about candy for this long.
Starting point is 00:08:06 They're just talking about snacks. Wee. Well, it's episode 205. It's our annual email episode, man. Hey, open it up to you, the listener. I don't know. We're still, we're getting a good role there talking about the
Starting point is 00:08:22 candy stuff. We ain't done. I still happens to me, though, feel bad for inanimate objects that was my son's toys. It's not even my shit. It's my son's toys. Damn, hasn't even touched Buzz Light. I'm like, man, you were so excited for that on Christmas morning. Nothing?
Starting point is 00:08:39 And you gave it kind of like one or two go rounds. You start rooting for it. Why don't you play with you? Right, yeah. Lead them in that direction a little bit. Yeah, that happens for sure. I'd be looking at stop signs. Like, is that thing cold in the winter?
Starting point is 00:08:54 You ever see a stop sign with ice iceicles hanging off? I'm like, to brush it off. Throw a blanket over top of it. Warm up, babe. Not bad. Hey. Shark tank.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Stop sign blankets. He did sleeves for signs in the winter. They need love too. Hey, but like that way they never, you don't have to worry about them getting covered with snow. Maybe somebody missing. It's a very, we're kind of like, you know, really reaching for how much do we really need this. But at the same time. Never know.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Maybe that causes, you know, like 1,200 less accidents because people can see street signs, stop signs. That ice on bridge sign? See that in the summer? you're like, Mm. The hell's going on here. I do do.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Man, can we get a little, can we get a little fall fit off here real quick, though? Talk. I couldn't wait to put this on. It's a nice one. Do you know how good that feels, too? What a fit.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Late September when this comes out, probably, maybe even early October. No idea at this point. Might be the first week of October, but I was, we came back, we're out all day doing shit.
Starting point is 00:10:03 We're at the kids' school. I had the shorts, long sleeve, a combo going. enough to work up just the healthy little good feeling sweat and the Steelers dry fit long sleep that I had on, right? So we put the kids down and go to bed and in my head, I'm like, all right, kids are going to go down,
Starting point is 00:10:19 waiting for Ben to get here. All that happens, I'm going to go take all this shit off because I'd actually gotten past on my shorts and shit anyways. I was like, eh. But hey, there you know, it's starting to get real dark. 745 is dark. I'm like, yeah, maybe a little warm, but I'm going.
Starting point is 00:10:33 I'm putting on the comfy fabletics. Right? With the elastic coach P around the ankles, feeling good. Good look, dude. When helmets match pants, bro. Yeah. Nose ball. Hey. The Rose Bowl.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Throwback, Rose Bowl, Purdue U-dub shirt. Best logo all the time. Let's go. And then how about the new, new balances that I got on there? A little bit of old school, a little bit of like Tom Hankson big, maybe. White socks showing. Cozy mode, activated. Cozy mode for sure activated.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Talk about. Slap my ass with a crispy fall leaf. Slap my ass, throw me down the stairs. Slat my ass, put a snickers in my mouth. Throw me down the stairs. Wouldn't feel a thing. Never been happier. Hope there's two flights.
Starting point is 00:11:22 These guys out of well on YouTube to check that out. Fits. Fits, Colt Brennan. Craziest jersey pole ever on eBay. Can't believe it was there. Just one of those I got to do it, you know? I've been coming across a few of those myself. Oh, like what?
Starting point is 00:11:41 A few of those that you got to do it. Well, one. There's been two in my life on eBay. Well, yeah, this is two that come to my mind. I'm like, I got to just do it. One, PCA. I got to just have a PCA one. It's going to be the MVP.
Starting point is 00:11:55 You know, been good to my kids. I know I'm a good dude. Mm-hmm. Who is that? Pete Carl Armstrong, centerfielder for the Cubs. Whoa. him and Caleb Williams are best friends and he's going to be the MVP
Starting point is 00:12:09 God when guys in the same city on different teams are best friends I'm right I know thank you and then a Rod Woodson Steelers Steelers or Purdue's I got to Purdue I need to get the Steelers and I wore my Purdue one while I was interviewing him
Starting point is 00:12:27 oh bro I think I remember that I knew what's crazy what do you say nothing he didn't even recognize it ever What? He like, I'm like, I go down and grab him, walking up with him, kind of making small talk and stuff. I can't remember if I brought this up on this show, but how would he not? It was kind of crazy because I was like, you know, you think Rod Woodson and Rod Woodson's like the best athlete ever. Like the coolest, like hottest looking guy, best athlete, house and pick sixes, taking puns back, right?
Starting point is 00:13:01 And then I get with him there and. It's kind of hobbling. Sad to see. I'll never forget about what you said about Patrick Peterson. What I say? Tell me this. You're like, dude, Patrick Peterson, like, when he was at LSU and, like, with the Cardinals, like, like a major problem in the NFL. Like, one of the best players in the NFL.
Starting point is 00:13:23 He's on the Steelers? Not that big of a guy. Yeah. How did that happen? Yeah. The change up that happened with Pat Pete from. Yeah. from LSU first three years of the Cardinals
Starting point is 00:13:35 to when he got to the Steelers. But even Pat Pete, Arizona when he had the visor, he was 21. He had the sick Dion Sanders socks set up with those,
Starting point is 00:13:48 I'm pretty sure they were the Dion Sanders cleats, too. Like, he was just looking. He had the best. Yeah. He looked taller.
Starting point is 00:13:54 He's faster. Yeah. This guy's unstoppable. Like in the tallest corner I've ever seen. Dude, gets to the Steelers wearing low cleats.
Starting point is 00:14:03 No sock get up. Playing like weird hybrid safety. I was like, this sucks. That's not even him. That's a clone. Oh my God, dude.
Starting point is 00:14:13 It's just cloned Pat Peterson. So bad. I mean, I was so excited when they signed him because I wanted that for so long. But Steelers always get D.Bs on the way out. Yeah. Steelers,
Starting point is 00:14:25 D. D.Bs on the way out is like the Titans with receivers. Like if a DB goes to the Steelers, it's like, uh, probably going to, move to safety. Playing a lot.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Playing a lot of nickel. Okay. He'll be coming in seven times a game. Damn. I hate when that out is. I know. Yeah. It's a sad reality,
Starting point is 00:14:48 but I just realized that. Yeah. Everybody always, nobody's made that joke yet. Everybody always talks about how Randy Moss, D.Hop, Braille and Edwards. Titans.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Liz goes on and on. Red gloves. Julio Jones. Julio Jones. Sad, dude. It goes to the Titans, see, yeah. And that is DVs for the Steelers and quarterbacks. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Tough. Anyways. Both start flying. Rod Woodson Steelers and PCA. That's top of my list for sure. I saw Randall L and I saw this cold brand and I was like, okay, well, doesn't matter how much money it is. This is meant to be.
Starting point is 00:15:30 And like the thing on eBay, they're like, like 18 people have this in their cart right now. I'm like, oh my God. Got to now. 18? Don't buy it. I don't ever buy that. Me neither,
Starting point is 00:15:40 but I always do. Because has it ever like got you before? No. You're on eBay enough that I'm sure it has. Well, I'm like, I'll just get it in the morning. I might be like tripping right now,

Starting point is 00:18:12 Team these guys at gmo.com Let's get into it How about Andrews? Sleepover Sleepwalk Here we go Dudes You're talking about the family Who said clicker instead of remote
Starting point is 00:18:22 Reminded me of a deeply repressed memory As a kid I was a sleepwalker It started when I was about seven or eight And continuing on for about a decade One such episode occurred When I was in sixth grade and staying in my friend Josh Schenkel's house. God, what a classic man.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Not a Lansing, Michigan pod. Hey, friend names. There you go. Josh Schenkel? We all had a Josh Schenkel. We did, man. Let me just find out more about Josh here and then we can decide who ours was.
Starting point is 00:18:49 He and his older brother, who had a waterbed, by the way, had the entire upstairs of his house. With their own rooms, sometimes when I stayed over, we would go into his brother's room because the PlayStation was in there, and sometimes we'd sleep in there too. And the brother would sleep in my house.
Starting point is 00:19:02 friend's room. We had fun night playing twisted metal and listening to the wallflowers. And then we went to sleep in his brother's room. Next thing I know, I wake up in the other bedroom on the floor. There's a sleeping body in the bed, but it's dark and I can't tell if it's my friend or his older brother. Panic, grip my body. What am I doing in here? Did I go to sleep in this room? Who was in that bed? I quietly crept out of the room and back to my sleeping bag on the floor of the brother's room, praying to God that I was clear-headed enough to remember that we did indeed sleep in the PlayStation room. I laid awake until it got light enough
Starting point is 00:19:30 to see the face of the person in the bed. I made the right choice. God only knows what would have happened if the older brother woke up and I'm on the floor spooning a Nebraska Cornhuskers mascot stuffy. Either of you sleepwalk. It's a real liability when you're a preteened sleepover. Smank my ass with cops nightstick that harassed Ben while he was polite
Starting point is 00:19:46 cat calling. Andy. Old Josh Schinkle. Yeah. And the older brother, mostly upstairs. Yeah, that your friend older brother, that's a whole like, you have to experience that when you're growing up.
Starting point is 00:20:06 The friend's older brother, like puts you on so much game. That you're like, what? You just learn some. What an inspiration. Yeah. They're like so scary. Yeah, this was for me. Josh Engel?
Starting point is 00:20:19 You're Josh Schengel? Is that? Jordan Reiser. Yeah. had the older brother. Yeah, I was thinking about that. I was like, who's Joey's older brother? Like a friend's older brother.
Starting point is 00:20:32 He had the older brother. And then he did have also him and his older brother, just their domain was the entire upstairs. Nuh. Do they have the, they had the loft? God, I remember their house.
Starting point is 00:20:45 I knew I had a loft situation going on. I never went in. Yeah. But I was like, I think there's some real long. Yeah. Many, many of nights, uh,
Starting point is 00:20:53 spin up there. Dude, basketball hoop on the roof. that was insane I was like they don't do that anymore yeah attached to the right above the garage yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah did he's like no we don't need
Starting point is 00:21:06 the goal real pole nah good go up on the garage I can't believe that wasn't against code I was thinking that when I was when I was like 13 I was like that's not against
Starting point is 00:21:14 the neighborhood code yeah but see Jordan's stepdad was like the guy that just like he did everything he was like so funny wasn't he he was he was fuck
Starting point is 00:21:25 Oh my god He was just so handy No like I don't even you know People who would be they'd be like It's against code And they wouldn't insane things They'd be like I'll Polly just did it
Starting point is 00:21:37 Like he's not causing me Right Get away with anything But So they had that Yeah they had all upstairs But it was a nice balance Because that's another part of this
Starting point is 00:21:47 When you have the friend with the older brother That's two years older Is that if you get in If you get in If you get in it's a nice safety net because
Starting point is 00:21:59 you feel close of them and you feel good about it and you feel like they got your back but there's also like that healthy distance of like
Starting point is 00:22:07 he's still the older brother yeah know your role still got another role a little bit you know he'll teach you the way but it's good it's necessary
Starting point is 00:22:16 um gotta have it no I didn't I didn't sleepwalk thank God I did you ever have people that had really bad night terrors and would like scream and shit
Starting point is 00:22:31 yeah Luke Burkart but I never I never experienced it like I spent the night like all the time with him like two days like in college I'm like dude I'll sleep with that like because they had a house and right by campus and I'd be like dude I'm sleeping here
Starting point is 00:22:54 like for two weeks straight, I don't care. He's like, bro, I have like night terrors. I'm just warning you. And like, so every night, I'm like, I can't wait for you to wake up and like scream at the wall. I'm going to be so, I'm going to be like recording it. Never did it. Or maybe I was like, maybe I slept through it. But he was always saying it.
Starting point is 00:23:10 And I was like, all right, I'm proven. Big Dog. Like, where are they at? You just bashing your head against a window and I'm not here at night? Like, when's it happened? Only you. Everybody else would be like, this is a good point maybe I should try to find somewhere else asleep and you're like please I need to see you running through the door yeah is that what that is because I was always kind of like what the hell's night tears I probably have them too I don't know so I experienced it twice do what happened and it wasn't as bad as I'm sure there are varying levels and degrees but it wasn't as bad as I expected it was a lot of
Starting point is 00:23:53 of, I remember one time. It's like some sleep paralysis stuff. I don't know. What is sleep paralysis is when you're like frozen and then there's like weird stuff going on but you can't, you're paralyzed. But there's like a lot of weird things happening. Did you guys ever, not a reminiscent pod, not a high school football pot,
Starting point is 00:24:11 did you guys ever go away to some random kind of like military camp for like an overnight, one or two nights overnight and then during the day doing like team bonding military activities? you guys do that? Dude, yeah. When I met Luke Kigley, you mean? Oh, yeah. Big moment. Yeah, so this is probably the same.
Starting point is 00:24:34 You remember exactly where it was? I think it was kind of out by Cincinnati. I swear, yeah. Somewhere far away. It felt like two hours away. Yeah. Barracks where it was just kind of like a cot on wheels. Everybody had the road.

Starting point is 00:33:47 though you just get crazy food and pass out. Whoops. Yeah. I never did that. That was, it really was hot time. It really was a moment in time because. Everybody still lives there.
Starting point is 00:33:59 Yep. That's just what I was about to say. That was, yeah, it was, we were all either just about 323 or over 23. So we had all graduated from college. All the fellas had their first real desk jobs.

Starting point is 00:34:50 Backup plan, dude. Everything, like, there didn't need to be a plan put together because the plan was already in place. It was once Friday is over, everybody's meeting at the guy's apartment or house that's close to everything. Yeah, yeah. You were doing, you were getting ready. Everybody was, hey, in our time, at least in my time. Everybody was thrown on, like, the polo shirts or long-slee polo shirts, khakis. and like the casual brown dress shoes

Starting point is 00:36:34 Anyways, but that was. That was the plan. And then you do that on Friday night and you'd sleep over. You go your kind of separate ways. Maybe you'd crash at your buddies, you know, or if it didn't or if a different situation worked out. you'd go somewhere else. And then you probably end up back at that friend's house that next day,

Starting point is 00:54:26 Sorry, not B-1, Bay 1. Fellas, so probably be read after week 1, but I just want to say congrats on getting through another long football off-season. Take it all in. men, we know our quick ghost. Last week, Ben mentioned ticker memories, and I just had to share one that instantly pops onto my head. The night Mike Bibby got traded to the Hawks.
Starting point is 00:54:46 From the Kings? As a kid, Bibby and the Kings were my life. Yeah, me too. King's room, full Jersey shorts combo to school, all of it. Jersey shorts? That news was so crazy to me. I'll never forget it. It's safe to say my room changed to the Atlanta Hawks pretty quickly.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Clubhouse Conspiracy. Let's take the ticker away to just hype up its return in the future. Hey, nice conspiracy. Peace, Perry Weed kid. We should have a little like a show for Clubhouse conspiracies. Send a million. You're conspiracy. Let's talk. We'll do a couple too.
Starting point is 00:55:28 I got a couple in my back pocket. I've been waiting to put out there. Pretty interesting. Thinking a few steps ahead of the game. Yeah. Work up all that. Oh, the ticker's back. For the Super Bowl, you know.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Everything's nostalgia now. Yeah. Take it away. Who's the mastermind? Take it. It's up there pulling the strings. I always tell that it'd be you pulling the strings. All right.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Mike, baby, the hawks, ticker, etched in your brain. Dude, this is, I just can't get over that. That bibby, that baby Jersey shorts combo to school. That is so fun. Hey, do you have a headband on too? How real we talking here. I don't know if it's just because of the time that we're recording this mixed with this question and just kind of what's been going on in my head the past few days.
Starting point is 00:56:23 I think the ticker that stands out to me most is when Osama bin Laden got killed. Oh, that was on ESPN? No, well, like, yeah, they put it on ESPN because. ESPN's ticker? It's at Osama Bin Laden. Yeah, dude. I was watching. It was a Phillies Mets, I think.
Starting point is 00:56:47 That's a legendary tinker moment. In Philadelphia. And it was like a random Wednesday night baseball. It might have been Sunday night baseball. I can't remember. It was in May. But I'm trying to think back to all the different because ESPN used to have baseball on like three or four nights a week.
Starting point is 00:57:01 It felt like. But it might have been Sunday night. But I know it was an ESPN game. It was Philly's Met. And I just remember like all you know they kind of started painting the shots in the crowd I was looking at their phone people were kind of cheering all of a sudden random USA chance started happening I'm like what was it's insane what a moment and then they started kind of talking about it on the broadcast but then like as they're talking about it ticker do do do do do but it was you know
Starting point is 00:57:31 it's crazy is when it gets it's such a big story that it's not the ESPN graphic style ticker it pops up as like an ABC news. Oh, override. Override. ABC news over there. We'll take it from here. All caps, breaking news. You're like,
Starting point is 00:57:50 what is actually happening? President Obama to speak to address the nation at 11 p.m. whatever, you know, and you're like, oh my God. United States has captured, you know, reports the United States has captured and killed a summit of a lot. Realist moment of your life
Starting point is 00:58:08 Dude, I was 17 It was May of 2011 Yeah, so 17 And I remember being up in my room Just have this random game on And I'm like, oh my God I remember I went down to my parents' room

Starting point is 01:06:45 What a match of. I don't like that. I like Jacksonville where it's weirdly rainy outside and it's split stadium with the end zones being blue and then red. Who did that with their end zones? Someone did something with their end zones. Oh,
Starting point is 01:07:05 they had two separate ones. Yeah. Texas A&M. Is it then? No, because I could just want it was a blue and red situation. I know, but I think it was like not a blue and red school. That's why it was like,
Starting point is 01:07:15 whoa. Bum, but dam, but dam, but um, let's see. Who do I want to get to here? Da-da-da-der.
Starting point is 01:07:34 All right, let's go to Eric. State your name. Hi, guys, playing Oddsmaker here. We all love the in-state rivalry football game, but what state would have the largest spread between the two state teams? Try to run through them alphabetically, giving some highlights.

Starting point is 01:08:25 Sorry, Eric. What was the question? We're just going to do it now even more. What was the question, Henley? Eric doesn't want us to do it anymore. Do you want us to do, Anthony? Anything for you, pity. Basically, what would be the biggest blowout for schools that are in state?
Starting point is 01:09:04 It'd be Georgia, Georgia State, probably. Probably. Indiana, Indiana State. Hey, hey, yes, a bleeder's on one side. What? Really? Only stadium on one side? Just made me want to puke.
Starting point is 01:09:19 Nothing. Maybe they changed it, but like until a few years ago probably, it was just one home side. Like, looking good. Other side, nothing. I was like, I don't even, how did this work? Tough sell. Yeah, I was like, why would I, that'd be so weird to bring your girlfriend to the game? should be like where's the where do we sit so we have to like bring our lawn chairs so like
Starting point is 01:09:45 they sit on with that I don't know like damn even key stadiums got a some side for that's unheard of to have nothing on the other side unheard of unless it's like a weird soccer field that you're playing on in like fifth grade maybe maybe yeah maybe they it was like their bright idea they were trying to go for something different I don't know like to play on the prairie or something It's really weird I think it's funny how like people who Do construction for stadiums are just kind of like
Starting point is 01:10:19 We'll do what I really want It's always doesn't make any sense I'm like who drew this up and how do you get approved There's seven seats on the on the visitor side seven Yeah we bring bleachers in every game on the I'm like Yeah it's like that unless you play Unless it's an NFL stadium that you're designing
Starting point is 01:10:39 and now they all look the same with a glass ceiling and can slide open and has a big round video board all the way around and has the same like set up for the suites all so they can host concerts and Monster Truck shows and Cirque de Soleil in the off season
Starting point is 01:11:03 Yeah, it's Morgan Wall and concerts. Yep. basically yeah when designing NFL stadium now people are just like okay I'm gonna be opposed Malone in here right yeah makes sense though
Starting point is 01:11:19 on their end but I'm like God just what would I give just for a football stadium just sex that's just where we are and everything's come to that we've smarted up enough for our own good you know just give me a dome give me a dome with turf and then
