Yeah. And you love to get the starters. Let's get some brain starters here. It's like when we used to work corporate jobs and we would be in a meeting and somebody who their whole job was to like kind of kickstart meetings would bring in like markers and Plato and stuff so that that kickstarts our brains. Dude, I would punch everybody in the office.

Are we in, are we, are we, is this kindergarten care? There's a kickstart person and I'm, dude, I hate that so much. I remember they came in and we're all sitting there and, you know, the projections up there, the quizy or Pizzy or whatever the new presentation thing is it's not PowerPoint and then this person comes in they have a crate and

inside the crate was a bunch of Plato and blocks I was like this was this your did your niece come to she and she coming in here what's going on she's going on so Fox is in the corner Fox was in the corner and he gave her

he gave a she's going on station out about this playto we eating this playto? What are we? we're doing on this Play-O. It was like, no, this is so that, like, to get your brain active, you need something to be doing. And so then that activates our brains and then we'll be more productive because we'll have the meetings.

I was like, oh. I got to get out of here. Dude, the warm up was always the hardest part of everything. You ever walk into a math class? And they're like, warm up's on the board. I'm like, Jesus Christ, bro. already. I'm already scared to walk in here. Now we got a math problem first thing. Dude, morning work. What's that? Wait, what's that? I remember that, but I don't remember that.

You know, you know morning work, not a reminiscent podcast, but damn. Never has been. Dude. Morning work. Dude, okay, so you walk into school. Why can I remember that? First thing before the original bell has rung before the day has started. Right? You're, you're hanging up. coat and your little cubby or whatnot. You get to your desk. There's a worksheet. There's problems up on the board. You have to do morning work before the day gets started because that was the way for

the teacher to kind of babysit you so you weren't just running rampant being a jackass. Morning work. Ew. Yeah, that little time. Okay, yeah, because that time before school started was kind of like do whatever you want. I kind of forgot about all that. That escaped my brain.

So you have the worksheet and then you have to go up to a board and like do a riddle or like solve a puzzle and then come back and turn in the worksheet before school would even start it. I'm like damn, you're double charging us here, man. This is like, this is this is school tax. This is my time right now. This is my time. Let me get settled. Let me clean my desk out. Yes. No. And then yeah, because the pressure would be on because that would be graded. Oh, no way. Yeah. Or maybe. it wouldn't be graded but it was like if you didn't do it and you didn't turn it in or what you would count against you so is there some days where you're like kind of running late you know maybe your sister's taken forever or you know your dad wanted to stop to get donuts or something like you're feeling wild but then you're like dude i got to get there for morning work like i'm gonna i don't have to scramble through this morning work here i don't think i was ever real late for school my shit my shit was always on time that was a different kind of panic but at the same

time it was like you know what it was such a panic and then once it would happen it just needed to happen you know if i was going to be late and i'm just like huh might as well be two hours late did anything ever happen two minutes or two hours did anything ever happen when you're late you just walked in and they're like okay i don't remember when you were when we were like young young like grade school and stuff did i don't think i was ever even late for high school i think it all just added up for tardy like you would get a tard yeah that's what it was you get you'd be counted as tardy. I guess I remember I was like,

I never said that word since. And now it's all coming back to me because of morning work tardy. You'd be tardy and then that would add up to a certain amount that would get you detention. So you could be tardy like 15 times or something. And that was in high school and? No, no, high school was like,

I think three max. Bro, late three times. At least I got three. You know what I mean? I never used up those tardies, bro. I just never even knew. I never even knew that side of life. Being late, bro,

that'll throw off my whole what? Late to school? There's always a person that was like super, like never even came to school or was always late and nothing ever happened to him. I was always like, what? Or someone would just leave school and there's always like a, like a wild card person that was just always,

it was always a girl. And I was like, how come she can just do whatever she wants? why does everybody have the story too about like the kid in middle school or high school that was just so bad that they the school literally was like

just don't come back we're like we don't care we're just gonna graduate you just don't come back we don't want you we don't want to deal with it anymore you're gonna parry bro I swear every class

my sister had one my little sister had one I had one just like the last month and a half of eighth grade I guess they're done. Can't wait till this dude's done, bro. And you know what? That kind of stuff was always the things in my mind

that would make me feel like all this doesn't really matter anyways. I'm like, if they're just, hey, mom, if they're just letting him walk two months to go into the school or into his last bit of school here, I don't think I got to be too worried about my 42 and my science test. 42.

42, good number. I don't know if we had a kid like that. So a kid that would just like... My uncle had a kid in his class. I was like that. Oh, dude, your uncle's class was horrible. Bro, I was like these motherfuck. Like, I thought our class was bad.

I was like, dude, they all have like long hair. They all smoke. Like, we have like three bad kids in our class. You know, bad kids. Smoke in eighth grade. Bro, they have like 18 bad kids in their class. I was so scared of them, bro. They would bully me for sure.

Or some Reebok like classics with the strap one day to school. Never wore those again. Yeah. Dude, I remember one time I wore a sweater. I wore a sweater for like a Christmas concert. Just like regular shit. I think it might have had a little flare to it. Dude, I was getting bullied by the kids

younger than me. No, that's never happened. Just on a random Christmas, not a Christmas podcast, just on a random, like, just wanted to sweater it up. Was it, was it high school?

No. That was great school. Yeah, I was like, oh, okay, okay. But not a reminiscent of podcast, not a Christmas podcast. Never has, man.

So Green, Green Bay looks sick. dude it's it was just like um it reminds it was like a college campus but for an NFL team that's probably like how the Steelers are a little bit they're like we're walking to the stadium like eight neighborhoods out they're already like every garage doors open packer stuff ever packer stuff in the yards seven dudes in a driveway playing it's just like I felt like I was out a college campus. Everybody has like speakers blaring playing like

customized Packers songs. Everything is Packers, go back, go. How many times do you that as a chicken? Fucking shock. Bear Shock too. Fucked on. I was like, bro.

It's just on repeat for like four days. It's just how it was. Everybody's in. And then you see like even like girls and like ladies have like Packer stuff on all the time. I'm like, yo. And that little area

I have like everything You need to. Packers ladies are wild. Packers ladies get there. I like that. Just just in a restaurant chilling. Oh, it's draft week.

Just crew neck with a Packers G right here. It's up. I was like, I love this. Everybody's about wearing a cheese head. Yeah. It's like, I didn't see many of those actually.

I was like, huh? Kind of disappointing a little bit. Yeah, it's like that's what like, uh, Wrigley field is like with baseball, just like smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood. Now it's got way more commercialized because Tom Ricketts likes to line his pockets and, you know, spend a much money on all that shit. That's first focus. Not get a third basement or anything. But, um, it still is, yeah, I mean, like a block away.

I stay for my 30th birthday. I stayed at an Airbnb on your front porch. You look out. You see the marquee of Wrigley field. Like, and it was just a, it was just a condo. Like it was just a townhome. so same shit you know it's it

it is yeah it's when I was up there doing my show last last year I of course I had to go to Lambo it was May I had to though still just go check it out and yeah like the houses it's like dude the houses are that was the thing that was most interesting to me

it was the houses around the stadium like they used to just be like dumb little houses but they like bro people put money into those and I just couldn't get over it. Like the way they redid, like there's houses at the backs of them will just face the stadium. Huge windows, big porch, huge like outside patio and they just rent them out. You know, they rent them out for, this is such a like a, they rent them out for like bachelor parties and stuff like that. I'm going to say that's a, that's why I want to go for mine.

I've already done mine, but I want to go again. And I think I want to get one of those houses that's butted up to Lambeau Field right there. Put it up. dude nothing describes anything more than butted up or hey can you put that flush when somebody says flush i'm like god damn dude you're speaking my language i don't even know what that word means but i know what you're talking about and it just feels good yeah flush to the fence all the fences are painted dude i i took uh just pictures of the houses and sent them to my mom that's that was my draft experience. I was like, look at the windows on this house.

They're so nice. Should have sent them to me. Full football field in the backyard. Yeah. Just my dream as a kid. Painted end zones are just the gold packers. Lined and dined, boy. Field goal post both sides. Not 50 yards, obviously, but like a good amount of space to play backyard football.

It's so funny, grown up, you play like backyard football in the backyard with your friends and stuff and there's always like four trees that you're like moving around you know yeah there's always like a whole bunch of landscaping that you have to like run through to score touchdown

the back the backyard tree was the original rub route dude go off the tree pick play that's how the big play started exactly you know like you're down there the tree is right there by the goal line where you need the score to cross that

it's just like hey get a little rub from the tree he's going to have to go over, go under. Get advantage there, man. Touchdown. Let's go. I'm like, why weren't my parents thinking about this when we bought the house? I'm like, you're going to buy a house with a tree right smack dab in the middle of the backyard,

not think I'm going to play football games back here? Right. Or even for, dude, even for like mowing the lawn, which, by the way, that's sneaking up on all of us. Got my front lawn looks like there's a damn jungle. I'm like, shit, okay. It's go. It's time, dude. It's time.

bro, is it summer? I was going to ask you, bro, you're the, you're the seasons manager. Senior seasons manager right here. What do we do next? I don't know what to do right now. I still don't know what month it is. Bro, I love it.

You're taking this new role on right now. It is 83 and indie today. And we're officially like we're turning. But the thing about it, you know, especially in indie, is you know we're going to get to next week, first week of May. Back home again. But you know the first or second week of May even. Like I want to be trying to go out to the track for something.

And it's going to be like 48 degrees with a spitting rain. You're like, the hell, man. Let's go. This is summer. May is summer. We're starting. We're going. Out the track, 84 degrees, bucket hats, beers, cans.

June is still summer to me for some reason. I don't know why. probably because I just don't know the months but June 1, summer. I can't argue with the senior seasons manager but yeah,

I guess, I guess, yeah, it's summer now. Mother's Day is a good kickstart to summer. It's a good little early summer if you want to get in

where you fit in. When is that? May 11th. A fellow clubhouse out there for Benny especially Sunday, May 11th, Mother's Day this year. Get the card. Get something.

Don't forget your mom. Or your wife, who's the mother of your children. I got reports back from the fan over the weekend. My dad, not too keen on me telling stories that make him look bad. That's my dad's whole personality. Don't be talking about me on stage, B. Like, yeah, right, dog. my mom though she's in she loves it she's like let's go i love hearing i love hearing you make fun

of me on there i'm like cool sister same way dad and wife though i don't think so i think they fall the other way no my dad for sure loves it deep down your dad loves it deep down well i said i could be like ben and just be you know straight up saying like i fucking hate my dad dude yeah for sure like pick which poison here guy which one is it never got a text from my dad where I'm not like, God damn it after. Every single time. Jesus Christ,

what do you want? Every time. That's so insane to me because every time I see his name pop up, it's just got some food, B, that's it. It's not. It's just what's up?

I'm like, dude. Not now. What if I text? Dude, what if I text you and said, what's up? You'd be like,

shut the fuck up. me i got a real bad paranoia that uh you know anytime i get a text from anybody it's just like hey or what's going you know what's up what's going on that's just that i'm like uh something happened this isn't good point bro what do you need me for yeah what's up what do i need to fill out i had a boss dude she would do that she would do like at like five like six o'clock on a wednesday like we had a meeting the next morning or something. I would just get a text from her, hey, period. Dude, don't hit me with the periods.

So I'm fired. Right. Or even during the work day. Like, you know, he'd be in her office and I'd be like downstairs filming something. Hey, dot dot. And then the dots would pop up. I'm like, what's going? This is insane.

And then it would be just be like, we're all going to lunch if you want to come. I swear people don't know like text tone. like no like you just be excited like i don't know my biggest fear is when people like uh dude a text like that'll ruin my entire day maybe it's because i'm like paranoid or something like that i definitely yeah but it would yeah just exchange the period with an exclamation point totally know that alleviates everything that too can kind of be like misleading though really using too many exclamation points? I'm like,

what's really going on? Not too many, but I'm just saying instead of, hey, period. And then you're going to send another text that's just like inviting me to go to lunch with everybody. If you just said,

hey, exclamation point, I'm like, okay, this is probably something not too bad. Just a quick reminder. Got to be a invite. I'm all about the double text

back to back. Like the boom. And then right underneath, Like right after, say the thing. But don't leave them hanging. Or just straight up. Eliminate the hay altogether. We're getting lunch.

You want to come? Come to my office real quick. I got an idea. Yeah. Yeah. That's some guy to guy shit right there. Hey. Period.

It's funny. Like the older you get, like the shorter everything is, you know. The shorter and more direct you are. Maybe that's a guy thing too. Like you email a guy that's like 60 years old. Three words. Done. Okay.

Good. Yes. Love it. This. Yeah. After you spent three hours examining every part of the email you have typed out. Yeah. Three paragraphs.

I'm starting to creep on the other. I'm starting to leave out the whole. Me too. Hope all as well. Hope the summer. Hope the whatever. Me too. I'm starting to be, I'm starting to be 60 in my emails.

I'm like, sounds good. Thursday, the only response. Okay. Hey, just attached and that's it. Attached. How about, how about the people who would send? I've had some people who would send emails and there wouldn't be anything in the body of the email. The subject line is just the whole message of the email.

I like that a lot, dude. I like, dude, let's start utilizing. the subject of emails more. Dude, sometimes I don't know what to put for the subject. I'm like, subject's tough. Subject's tough. Like, can I get AI?

Like, AI, where are you at for this shit? Mm-hmm. Yeah. That's real, it's real, you know, especially like in our world because everything is just about like partnerships and trying to collab and do this. So I get, I do a lot of, you know, you know, uh, insert brand or name or company here. X Joey Molenaro Fandall

And that's the fourth time I've done it in the last week and a half. They're kind of like, hey, piss or get off the pot guy. Just buy it, bro. Honestly, if Fanatics hit me with that, I'd probably be way more. I'd be like, oh, you know what? Good point. Fanatics, thanks. Not none of this. Hey, when brands use eyeball emojis,

when companies use like emojis in the subject line, kind of freaks me out. How'd you know? I know. Yeah, when a big, like, when a big company uses emojis in their subject, I'm like, is this my friend emailing me?

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I didn't know Lowe's was my dog now. Lowe's. Like, you've been to Lowe's. Bro, I got a Lowe's in Home Depot more than any place in the world. I don't know why, but once a week I find myself at Home Depot and I'm like, okay.

Home Depot is a damn, it is a damn good time. I don't know why. And it's not even like a as we get older thing. When I was a kid and we went to Lowe's and Home Depot, I was like, it doesn't feel like it should exist. Like it feels like it should be not a commercialized store. It should be like a factory that you like have a weird. you just have to a weird entrance process and stuff like that. But you can just go,

walk into the lumber aisle. It feels so weird. Yeah, I love the paint slips they had where you look at all the different paint cards, you know, which one do you want to get? Can I paint my room this mom? Now.

Nope. How about when your mom, ooh, dude, my mom would only let my sisters paint their room. Why is that? My sister can paint her in purple all of a sudden. and like they didn't run they didn't even say anything to me about it just one saturday i wake up there's

purple cans of painter room oh we can do that i'm in here with this eggshell wall paint right now yeah with the with the moons and stars on my ceiling not even the moons and stars just the tack that held them up there well i think it's you know for i mean girls the same way i don't know like i i just loved being able to use that as just like kind of my my landscape man my can You know? Keep that eggshell wide up there because it don't matter because this poster of the 2003 Cubs is going up right over it. Oh, by the way, here's got milk Tracy McGrady right next to it too. Oh, that's tough, dude.

That's tough. Hey, all the mini banners of every NFL team? Yeah, they're going around the ring of the room. Hey, me when I'm 27 years old, still buying shit like that to put on my walls. in the bathroom right next to the toilet white socks I was like I don't even like them just felt right

white my bathroom theme went 28 years old 29 maybe Michael Jordan I remember remember it well it's like if we're gonna have an MJ

picture in here we might as well just get this whole thing going dude yeah jump man logo right above the towels like guys bathrooms dude

I remember that was like kind of a big hang up that I didn't my brain wasn't ready to formulate and process when me and Rye were first living together and she'd be like well this isn't really like this isn't really like an aesthetic

I'd be like what are you talking about like this is great I got two movie posters of Star Wars framed I got a Cubs one framed as well I got a bandana over here I got a flag that we can hang up on this wall like what do you mean

this is stuff that's important to me she's like that's not but that that's a child's room and it just didn't occur to me until I'm like you know what finally we had enough back and forth and you know where I was just like ah yeah that I probably do need to grow up

a little bit in that way and then you just get a base mare you get a garage and there you go it is the guys I'll never let that go I don't know why but guys just like cool stuff like we don't want guys just like cool stuff

we don't want plenty look at this shit look I got look I know I wish I could turn around my phone right now and but I don't want to mess everything up but like you see my basement walls like you know exactly what it is just a hodgepodge of shit that's just what we want cool stuff dude yeah we want it

everywhere like look here teams colors yeah this right here is Dale Earnhardt after he won the brickyard at IMS in the 90s with probably like I don't know his wife and his daughter or something

I don't even know who these two ladies are solid it was framed already I was like that's going in the basement for sure yeah what kind of life am I living with just a plain olive colored wall behind me okay with like a piece of art that has no meaning

or it just like kind of goes with whatever the aesthetic theme is I'm like that's why dads are so mad they walk in their house and they're like what is all this shit I'm like, okay, you have the olive walls painted That's the way you wanted to You have this aesthetic that you're creating

Olive walls, what would be better than a Larry Bird framed photo From back in the 80s when he's playing for the Celtics Sounds good to me Yeah, and In the corner of the wall, can we put an Antoine Walker card? Trading card? Like in between the door frame and the wall like right there Like can we just put that in there?

Can we hang a hat on the corner of the TV so it's blocking part of the TV? You have your things. I have mine. All right? It's compromise. There's a hat on the corner of my TV hanging there. Three years. Three years.

Braves. I don't even like them. Did a chick make you move it? I think my mom did. She didn't even walk in my room. She just knew. I was on the phone with her. She was like, hey, that hat on your TV.

he's got to go. Yeah, I mean, you got a trail cam in here? To my left, I got a Tony Stewart license plate, Home Depot. There you go.

Doesn't that make you feel good? Great, dude. I was so, everything like that that I get, I'm so excited to come down to the base and just put it up there. It's my space.

Yep. Guys just like cool stuff. I don't like playing. Hey, give me a little personality here. That's right. A little flavor. The hell.

That's exactly right. You know what I really want, dude, at some point. I've never pulled the trigger on it. But I really would love to have one of my rivals teams, toilet paper, just in one bathroom in my house. I don't know if that's just like a scratch that every guy has. But God, would I love to have a whole toilet themed of the Ravens and the Browns? The Browns, dude.

that's amazing. You know? Just on that help, that's crazy. I didn't even know they did that. That's what, like when I turn 40, hopefully God,

you know, I make it there. But I'm gonna be like, Ryan, I don't want like a big surprise party. I don't want a big surprise party. I don't want, you know,

a whole big thing. I don't want a big grand gift or anything. I guess I do, but what I want is just like, redo the bathroom to Cleveland. redo like I want a space in like a garage that has just all this hodgepod shit a TV in the corner a fridge that I can just restock constantly um like kind of a standing bar kind of like a standing bar that's on the wall as well you know like it's connected to the wall of the garage but I can like lean on it maybe throw a bar stool there people can come out and sit like an area right there and I can have a toilet that's not even Like it's not even in a bathroom. Like it's just a toilet there that's functional that I can use.

And it's browns toilet paper. One of those half walls around it. Like when you walk into a bathroom like at a high school football stadium and there's not even a full wall blocking the toilet. There's just a half wall. You're like, Jesus Christ. That. That exactly. Just so long as like if, you know, I don't care, especially if I'm a shot there by myself hanging.

But like if I have buddies over, yeah, if they want a little privacy or whatnot, there you go. That's what I want. and I want weed kid to live in there. He doesn't leave. He's security. He's security for the garage. That's it. Maybe a little putting green,

you know, a little rollout putting green that I can get some going in there. You're never going to have that because you'll never go back in the house. Yeah, maybe. That's probably a good point. The first time you saw that half wall around the toilet. at the at the weird high school bathroom mind blown oh we can do that and sometimes there's

not even a half wall there's just a toilet in the corner i'm like okay guys just shit there it's so crazy first time going into high school high school stadium bathroom with my dad just see a toilet all by itself i look at my dad he goes all right i guess that's how they do it in uh whiteland high school, high school bathrooms concession stands just keeping cinder blocks in business. So how long are it take them to make this bathroom concession stand combo? I swear they just hired some guy on the team, some dude on the team's dad to build it. He made it in 30 minutes. I don't even know if the cinder blocks are like puttyed together.

They're just on top of each other. Dude. How many times have those center blocks been repainted over? The paint on that shit? At that point, you're like, I think the dried paint is what's holding all this shit together. Not even. But yeah, when it's real fresh like that, you know, everybody's super excited about like the, you know, Raymond heating and cooling bathroom that was donated, right?

You get in there and you like, yeah, you're even like kind of touching in between. you're like, is this? Am I got to get a little bit of this shit on my finger if I run it through the crevice right here? Oh, doing this, this, this, the back of your finger, the back of your finger in between two cinder blocks never felt so alive in my life. I'm like, why does that send tingles up my body?

Let's go to Kyle. This is a new, this is a new one here, new name. Team these guys at gmail.com.

Kyle says section 437 or 600 in Lucas Oil Stadium for NCAA tournament. Okay. Hey guys, first time emailer, newish listener, not a sports podcast, but I wanted to get your thoughts on the NCAA tournament fan viewing experience. First, I don't understand how anyone would enjoy watching a basketball game in an NFL stadium at the 600 levels or at the corners of the 400s. Especially when your 400 level seats

aren't even angled towards the basketball court. You'd be better off watching at home. Second, why on earth would you want to be in the student section behind the basket as well? My main reason why I would never want to is because you are like a solid four feet below the court and a solid 50 feet away from the court while being blocked by the basket and other people.

Man, they want to get your thoughts and attending sporting you in person for these types of event is even worth it. Sincerely, Kyle. Whoa, sincerely. Draft us sincerely on us. Wow. Thought we were his grandma for a second.

Sincerely, dude. Never knew how to spell it. Still don't. Yeah, I don't know, man. I know they got to sell tickets, but that's always been my biggest hang up with the final four. Just put it in an NBA arena and shut up. God, wouldn't it be so much more like electric, honestly?

Don't even use the word electric, but it just would be. It just be so much more real. Yeah. I've been to a, you've been to a Final Four game too, probably. And you're like, am I even a part of this? Totally. I'm way too far away to even care. And the player, I'm like, how can you even play under these circumstances?

Yeah. It freaks me out. The depth of perception freaks me out. I'm not even on the court. I'd be so thrown, dude. Like, is this basket five feet away or 50 feet? I have no idea what's going on. It's so wide open.

I hate it. I don't really care for the camera angles too much. Like, especially when, like the one at, the final four, they've kind of figured it out. They've kind of figured it out

to where the viewing experience on TV, yes, they're in an 80,000-person football stadium, but they've mounted the cameras to, like be in the proper spot right in the middle of the floor to where it seems like you're right there and it's not from a super high angle or looking down or anything like that yeah you can right there along with it right until they expand out you're like oh but it looks like you're

right there on top of them in a basketball arena and the final four nothing makes me more sad than when when when they pan out and you can see like half of the stadium no one's sitting in it I'm like but Like when Indy does it for like the Sweet 16 and the Elite 8, that shit where they cut off half of it and they put a curtain up. That's what I'm saying. Over half the stadium isn't even there. Yeah, that's just in this a weird end zone. And my mind always goes to like, that's where like that's the end zone.

You get from the 10 yard, this is just red zone basketball. I don't know. It's weird. Yeah, not a fan, not a fan at all. That's what I'm talking about. It makes me sad. I'm like, ew, bro. Make it look better.

Do it right. And you can always tell by the. sound. You know, you're watching it on TV. It looks all final four. Okay. But you can do the sound isn't like NBA. The sound isn't basketball. So the sound is just 10 guys running around in the biggest NFL stadium you've ever seen. I'm like, I think what pisses me off too, especially about like an indie at Lucas Oil when they do that is that I know what side of the stadium it's on. And I'm like that should be on the other side. It should be the part where people walk into the stadium and it has that big

lounging area. Yeah. You should be over there. That's where everybody's coming from to enter the stadium anyway. So you got to enter the stadium from being out downtown or whatever and then go all the way around to that weird like, that weird lonely end zone where there's not shit going on. Super lonely end zone. I don't like it. More seats, more tickets. That's inside baseball. That's inside baseball there.

No, the people know. The people know. Sincerely, though. How about that? When was the last time you signed an email with sincerely? Would have to Google it. I wonder how many words I Google a day, just to make sure. I'm making sure even if I know.

And sometimes I don't even know if my spell check knows. So I'm like, I'm checking spell check on this one. I feel like you probably have never signed an email with Sincerely. Unless I was in like fourth grade, because that's when they made us, you know. Like put that, you know, they kind of teach you how to write a letter when you're in like fourth grade. And sincerely, I was always like, why would I ever say that? It's not how I talk at all. It's proper where I'm like, sincerely.

Yeah, now I got to go plow the fields later. Like, is it 1776? It's Paul Revere coming? Trousers are on for sincerely. just thanks thanks for the event even thank you I'm like hey

hey thanks exclamation point nothing's nothing sounds better than thanks exclamation point thanks no problem hey what about a little take care

no dude no I know you're mixing it up over there in the Mueller Muller Arrow household with all the different I know you do bro take care Dude, you hit me with a Take Care on an email. I'm like, well, what's been wrong the whole time?

it ain't no salmon though all right get into that debate later um shit what was the uh cards uh yeah of course whether you like it or not

you got a card collection Topps. New era. Is new era a card? No, that's a hat thing. Upper deck. There's a R1.

Rated rookie. Shut up. That's some new. That's new. Yeah. That's because during COVID, I got, there was a big explosion

with all of it. And I got back in. You probably remember some you probably remember. I got my updated one right over here. and of course that was a bridge

that we had to cross with the misses she was supportive but she was like what are you what's the plan here are you just like bored

I was like I think I kind of am and hey guys just want cool shit guys just like cool stuff guys just like cool stuff come on all right

so I got it and also I played the hole this was back yeah I was like five years ago and I was like hey you know we want to have kids

someday like if we have a son then I got his collection started right there because that's what my dad did for me me. Bada boom. Pade off. Nice. And that you can do that with shoes too. Never knew that.

I did that at the Pacers game last week. I went like I said with our good friend DJ Dylon and I should have brought this up. Real quick, we'll get back to the cards. But so I'm going to the Pacers game, right? And the weather was, the weather was nice. The weather was. It was very nice. But an outfit that I had on. I was, I still struggle with what to wear underneath a basketball jersey if it's not a hoodie. Yeah. Because. Yeah. I don't know. It's just with the, with the, with the, with the, with the, with the, a t-shirt. I'm like, a long sleeve. The long sleeve I had, I looked like a dad who shops a buckle a lot who's divorced and has like frosted tips. And so I just, I ex-nade on the, I just went. No. I said, no, I'm not going to do Jersey. I just had like a baseball shirt, white baseball shirt with this Pacer's hat with this one that I have on right now.

So that's what I was rocking because I was like, yeah, that got the hat still. But like I look like, you know, I'm 31. I don't know, it's good, right? Good fit. So I show up to meet DJ Dylon and immediately he was just like, he didn't, he was just kind of like, oh, no jersey. And I was like, oh, fuck. Like, you know, he invited me. now I'm the guy that like people are like

who the hell is this guy isn't even a fan? He's just wearing a hat like you know so I got real in my head about it. Bought a jersey? Yeah. Let's go! What jersey? Dude, dude, okay.

So we're as a sick move. That is a sick game time decision. Game time decision. We got into the pro shop with about 25 minutes before tips. So you're golden, right? Because like it always says game starts at 7th. Game doesn't start until 712 easily.

Never been. Never been to a game that. early. That's nice. So it's like 6.45. We're good. We're golden on time. And like so it's me and dial on and we both have had like two tall Miller lights at 10 roof beforehand. Right. Yeah, we're in the zone. And, and. Boys are locked. You're locked. But, you know, the DJ was in one of those parts where it's like, you know, when you're home, he's like just as excited about something that's not even for him. You know, that's it. But he's in it with you. And you're like, we're kind of at that level, right?

And so I'm in there. We're going back and forth. What is this? Do I get Derek McKee? Oh, they don't got the size. Do I get a flojo Rick Smith? Oh, where were you? Like, where were you buying the jersey? Pro shop? Yeah.

Bro, you're so, you're so fan if you're buying a jersey in the pro shop before they get it. That's, you got to go through it. You got to look, dude. I got, I got four Reggie Miller jerseys. I do. But like, I'm not going to not wear sleeves. It's just not like I'm not Jack like that like DJ is or you is. That's not my arsenal.

to wear like a jersey with no sleeves underneath unless it's like 4th of July or Indy 500 right Not a local podcast And so So we're so we're in there we're toss all these different ones around man You know you know pro shops before a game or it's like it is like the apocalypse I mean Christmas Eve uh million people lying out the door kids everywhere I have my size doesn't matter

pulling stuff off going everybody's just nuts because everybody's like thinking about the game you got to hear the stuff from the game kind of going on it's crazy right Pro shop has in there and Pro Shop has some stuff that you can't find anywhere else too I love pro shops for that they're staying true to like dude you're not going to find this this Aaron McKee this Derek McKee jersey anywhere

it's like how do you guys even have that good totally and so we're going back and forth I'm like I don't know man I don't know come across vintage Pacers baseball jersey what who's on the back no one

it's Navy it's Navy and it has the old school Pacers logo with like the hand and the basketball on the Pee right here actually it does it just says in that font says Pacers on the back

Navy good to go good to goal crazy you're not going to show us crazy you're not going to run upstairs right now insane. I'll time you. I'll time you. Fat is two minutes. This is the real fat as two minutes.

Come back huffing and puffing. Hey, the Pacers are looking good. The Pacers won last night. So you'll probably see it for sure. It's one of those that's like it plays at any time. I can wear it out the track. Definitely will be doing that for some playoff games or whatnot. I just have to tell the story. Next week. Yeah. Because the Pacers be playing. I wore it last night. I wore it last night. Or yesterday.

You got to let it breathe over. game yeah exactly uh i don't know where i was going with that besides to tell you that story about getting the jersey beforehand i think we're talking about cards now maybe okay yeah anyway trading cards i don't know but dude pro shops a magical place for guys your team's pro shop one at all there's always like somebody like that played for the team like their hands that you can like put your hands in in the pro shot oh my god paid manning's hands are like not that much bigger than mine could i have been like paid manning maybe i could make it wow jemald tinsley's jemal tinsley's 6-1 i thought i was six foot and i hit's way taller than me

I'm the only one little tired of the only thing you hear people say nowadays is lock in. All right, time to lock in. I got to lock in. Is there not anything else that can replace it? Slap my ass with Game 5 gold outpacer shirt that really should be white to match the jerseys on the court. Sent from my iPad. Ooh, that's true, Bailey. I love it when people like notice stuff like that.

That's Clubhouse. is what it is. Lock in. I say it kind of ironically because coaches, lock in boys. I don't know. I always got a coach in my head

no matter what saying lock in to me. Scoop. Like in. Scoop. Scoop. I think I get what he's saying that because now it is kind of becoming you know when stuff starts,

people start to do it ironically and then everybody starts to do it ironically and it becomes so mainstream based off the ironically that you're like, but then you still have the people who do, say it seriously and you're like I can't tell if you're messing with me you can always separate them

oh you think that's actually cool right yeah because you see it a lot about like stupid shit you know like somebody will post like me probably in like three weeks at the indie 500 I'll post like a you know case of Miller light with the 500 logos on them and like all right lock in yeah you're just kidding right right Right. But dead ass serious on the inside. That will actually happen. But I'm just kidding. Hey, I'm just kidding. Everything.

they go on to just eviscerate said player no disrespect at all to him or his fan family. This guy ain't gonna make it. I mean, dang, dude. All right. The most disrespectful thing ever. No disrespect, but the most disrespectful thing I could ever say about this guy. Right. Just go ahead and say it. Say it. Lock in and say it. I don't know. A new word for lock in.

when a kid did that on your AAU team, you're like, bro, he's going to. He's next. That's like the equivalent of when Derek Jeter ran from shortstop to cut off that ball and flip it back to Jorge Posada. It's always like Was it that good play?
