THESE GUYS! - INDY 500 RECAP + FAT STATS + SLEEP INJURIES

Episode Date: May 27, 2026

"I hurt my arm last night. What'd you do? Slept." There is absolutely nothing worse than waking up on a deflated air mattress at 3 a.m. with your arm tucked like a chicken wing. We all know the tragic reality of realizing your only pillow for the night is a tightly pulled cinch bag stuffed with Jordan shorts and a cell phone charger. We map out the absolute survival mode of trying to sleep in random RVs and the psychotic behavior of wanting to take a nap in the middle of a busy TJ Maxx. The conversation shifts to a massive weekend of racking up fat stats 🤰  from panic-ordering a dozen at Long's Donuts to asking for a "tote" of 12 cookies at McDonald's past midnight. We also break down the draft for teachers picking their ideal classroom rosters, and reminisce about aggressive pit stains on a grey t-shirts during freshman orientation. Plus, we talk about the legendary teacher move of faking a classroom into thinking they are in trouble right before giving them an extra hour of kickball 🥹 If you're still reading this comment your weekend fat stats!🤝 *JOIN THE CLUBHOUSE DISCORD*TG CLUBHOUSE https://discord.gg/7X63C4HF8y📬 *SUPPORT THE SHOW*Hit us up on the email line: [e-mail]🎧 *Listen to the full pod*https://open.spotify.com/show/0DCF4F4r78p0eXiD3fyh2Lhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/these-guys/id1649757408🍻 *Follow us on Instagram*These Guys! https://www.instagram.com/theseguyslolBenedict Polizzi https://www.instagram.com/benedictpolizziJoey Mulinaro https://www.instagram.com/joeymulinaro🧢 *50% OFF ALL MERCH with code BALD at checkout*https://www.benedictmerch.com

You know what I thought about the other day that I was like, damn. I mean, can we just have Christmas already? Well, what hit me really badly was one of my buddies is like, yep, totally agree. Now we start a long, endless summer before we even get to football. It's like, oh, some football sounds. It's like some football sounds nice. In the summer sounds good, though.

You know, sleeping in the RV. I'm on the blow up mattress. I got both. We're going four wide. Skip. Four wide. Wishbone. We're going four wide in the air mattress.

Whole Molanaro family. So I'm like just trying everything I can do to like, you know, fin angle and get some comfort, slept with my arm tucked like the, the chicken bow. The chicken bow was going. Vince Carter style. Behind my head, my hand fully behind my head, elbow all the way up. Woke up the next morning, I like about fell down because my right shoulder just dropped me down, man.

It's like, oh my God, this is just permanently going to be asleep. We're elbows up early, weren't we? Yes. Get rid of all day if you don't start in the morning. Oh, God.

That was my saracus or whatever was really acting up. Like, why how's my shoulder feel like this? Oh, yeah, because my veins and it just got slept on all night. Yeah, air mattress sleep.

Falling out, one side way lower than the other. Yeah, you're rolling around. and you hit a big pocket air, you're like, all of a sudden it's 4 a.m. and you wake up, and you're like, God,

this is kind of, this isn't as soft as it used to be, you realize you're on the ground. Wood floor. Hmm. Cool. Well, so just on the couch.

Just sleep it on a t-shirt. It's all right. Oh, sleep it on a t-shirt. Just sleep on a t-shirt. Might as well throw a couple towels down here. It's the same thing. You probably sleep better.

On some, oh, a scratchy towel. A scratchy towel. scratchy thick towel put a couple of those down you know cats like rub their face all over stuff that's me on a bathroom towel that's all you got that's all that's all you can do it's been wash and dried 26 years old just okay what's your pillow what's your pillow like in that type of situation uh probably a cinch bag yeah back to back week cinch bag sincebag big cinch bag not a cinchbag podcast.

Not a draw string bag podcast. I was going to say bug bag, but yeah, cinch bag would make more sense. Draw string bag.

Draw string bag with some Jordan shorts in it. Cinch so tight. You can barely get it open. Dude, might as well

might as well be a part of mattress firm. Yep. Temporetic pillow. My pillow.com. My pillow. What's your pillow?

Cinch bag, Jordan shorts in it. Some keys stabbing my eye. Never slept better. Keys. He said. cell phone charger in there, not even mine.

Phone dying. Yeah. Oh, that didn't care. Phone on 1% for seven and a half hours. I'm like, are we sure 1% is 1%? 1% is like 20%.

Yeah, no. So you want to be sleeping on a t-shirt. Your t-shirt would be the blanket. Yep. Legs so cold. T-shirts the blanket. Cinch bag with the Jordan shorts in it. But then you also have a pair of shorts that you're wearing that you do this move.

Oh, yeah. Nice. Yeah. Oh, do you need the little knee coverage? Ancles inside. You're like whatever. Just cut them off. Just gave me some knee coverage down to the calf.

I can at least feel a little blanket of warmth past the knees. Socks on one has a hole in it. Weird stuff stuck your foot. So yeah, situation. you're like, can I take my socks off? Yeah, I probably should just keep him. It's too cold. Actually, your socks on makes your feet colder.

But you're in an environment like that where you're like, I don't know. I don't really know this guy. I don't know this guy's socks off well. I don't know either. Yeah. Socks off RV. Is this a socks off camper? There's like his girlfriend, his girlfriend is staying there too. And then like her friend, you know, is like somewhere. And you're like, I don't know.

I have to wake up and go to the bathroom. and she sees me with no socks on and be kind of weird. Excuse me. Then you're like, wait, do I love her? Does she have a boyfriend? Are we still in love, though? You don't want to ask, though.

Because then she'll know that you love her. Damn. Hey, a couple smirred off ice glasses in the cinch bag. You got to pull those out. You're like start and you have the cinch bag and you're sleeping on it and you make one you make one too subtle of a move and you kind of you hear it clink shit get those out got to put them on it like got to put them somewhere weird real quick then somebody sees them in the morning are those who are those you're like I don't

know they've been there you lie you don't act like you're you're a drunk those that's weird I don't know where those came from so yours see what do you do this So what do you do if you got the, if you got the cut off shirt, what's the, what's the move? Because if you're wearing it, if you have sleeves on, if you have sleeves on, then you can at least get in it. You can get in it, you know, you can tuck, you can, you can pull the arms in and then that's just kind of like your body bag. Yeah. But if you got, if you got the cutoff, you know, for talking, you know, circa 08 and you got the cutoff going. I think the cutoff's coming off and it's going over your eyes.

This is real right where you're sleeping. You're not, you're not sleeping in the best place. At all. You're pretty much a homeless guy. Going over your eye. But then, so at that point, anything goes. And roll paper towels. Yep. Mm-hmm. Just something, again, like with the legs, it's like cover the knees with the upward body.

Now, we went back to the RV and I ordered Paizanoes again later at night. But I was so tired that I think I only had like two pieces of pizza. And then I crashed.

Next day pizza, though. Better than pizza. Better than fresh. Race weekend fat stats. there it is hope you joined it's still yours hope you joined in on the fun drop your fat sets in the comments

would you eat oh man yeah but that was your was that your first now you me and you've gone to a 500 together way back on the day oh yeah that was the only time I've ever seen you sleep in the car that's crazy

every I drove you in here you literally just go hey me in the car yeah literally we're sitting in traffic inside the motor speedway and we're just waiting like getting ready to pass the pagoda essentially on that middle lane to where you can not a local bod, but if you know, they're sitting there just have a move in 40 minutes. Ben just goes, hey man, you care if I crash out real quick? It's like, you don't have to ask me if you can go to sleep, dude.

And I hate it when people are just like randomly go to sleep then. You don't know if they're like, do I keep talking to you or not? Like make it, make the move. Are you going to sleep or not? Tell me. Yeah, that's true. Hey, what was the product? So that was your protocol for that and like sleepovers?

uh yeah i was always kind of like you know i'm really about to fall asleep in like any second and then that would kind of like tie down and they'd stop talking like quit directing things yeah i'm out but i would do that yeah you get called i'd be like bro i'm about to fall like i'm dying i'm going to sleep oh man i never knew where that line was i never knew at what point to cross it just be like all right night man oh i would never make it so blunt but i'd be like dog i'm I'm like about to fall asleep and that'll be dead. I wouldn't make it so final though because it kind of ruins the fun, you know? Because that sleepover moment, I would fight to stay away because everything's so funny.

Yeah. One time, and you know, people would be nice about it and not like, sometimes I'd be talking to my friend all night and he'd be wanting to go to sleep. But I'd be keeping him up. I know. But he was trying to be nice because he was like the guest. Joking. Bro, we were watching the movie sniper. one night.

He was sleeping on the floor. You know what movie I'm talking about? It's just called. I have no idea. But it's just about the sniper, dude. And it's a cool-ass movie. It's not an American sniper. Nah.

I think it's just called sniper. Is it called shooter? Maybe it's that. Maybe it's that. Mark Wahlberg? I don't know. It might be called shooter, though. So I'm on the couch.

He's like on the floor in front of the TV. So I can't tell, like, if he's dozing off or not, I can't see him. Yeah. Movies going on. He thinks it's a we're going to sleep movie. I'm like, I can't wait to watch this movie. So he's the whole time sleeping and I'm asking him questions. Like, I don't know anything.

So I'm like, and he kind of knows about guns and stuff. So I'm like, yo, dude, he keeps waking up like every 15 seconds when I'm asking a question and just making shit up and going back to sleep. He's not even watching the movie. And I'm asking questions. And he's like, oh, that's because that guy that he ran into earlier, that wasn't his friend. Yeah, you ever?

And I was like, oh, but he didn't even know anything about the movie. He wasn't even paying attention. He was just saying shit to me. And I was like, all right, yeah. And I keep watching and ask another question. Do you ever have where you are like this going to sleep guy and like eventually you just call it quits and like you're still awake where you can hear people trying to talk to you, but you're like, you just power through.

Yeah. I'm selling this. I'm so tired. Gotta draw the line somewhere. It's over. You got to figure it out on your own, man. Yeah, this is all you. I'm going.

I'm drifting off. You hear them confirmed like, I'm sleeping. You're like, I'm good. I'm good. We're out. Hey, hey, then you kind of like,

you're going to start talking shit about me? Are you guys mad? Wow. Yeah, in the morning. You're like, hey, sorry I fell asleep so early. They snuck out into a girl's house.

You're sleeping. a little time. No, I don't know, but you always got to have it. You guys going to have it like, you know, in the back of your head a little bit. Like, you're fully trying to go to this, but you're still aware enough to like, again, if they start talking about you something, hey, maybe you like hit a rollover. So like, what is you? Wait, okay.

Are they talking shit about it? Or if they do start making moves like that, you know, then all of a sudden you're like, well, what's going on? They're like, oh, hey. Most paranoid guy ever. Yeah. Fall sleep early guy. You never know what you're going to miss.

I think that starts happening though as you get older. You kind of accept the, you kind of accept the sleep and the, the wellness of your body, you know? So like if I'm on like a bachelor party or just like a guy's trip somewhere or something, that'll happen a whole bunch, you know? You'll just be like, all right, man,

I'm calling it. You've laid down the sleep rules at bachelor parties before on this pod. And it was appreciated. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like just go to sleep. Yeah.

Yeah. First night, don't get too excited. Hey, act like you've been there, man. Yeah. Act like you've been there. That's for sure. But even if you, because you're always, there's always a situations where you're like, everybody's got to, you know, there's guys that got to share room or like, you know,

there's a, there's a bunk bed situation. So you have like kind of your roommate. Yeah. Maybe you'll be in there kind of looking at your phone. That's the fun room. You're kind of, kind of jealous you're not in it. All of a sudden two guys get together. That's the fun room.

And you're like, yeah, I can't just. hop in there, you know? And want to, though. There's, they'll have too bad. What am I going to do? Just go disrupt their shit. Then you throw everything off. You're like, all right. Just go look at my phone. Are they asleep?

Are they going to be mad at me if I go in there? Or is it going to make it more fun? Yeah. Or should I just get on my phone, like, scroll and then go to sleep? Then you should have been like, yeah, you feel better if you just go to sleep. Feel better in the morning. You'll thank yourself. Miss out on a bunch of inside jokes. You just left out the whole rest of the trip. All right

My ass Go to sleep on this Team these guys at gmail.com And Yeah We're obviously we just ran through You crazy weekend Of just a whole bunch of stuff

So, you know Coming to you a little bit later But better Better late then Let's go to Brody First grade expansion draft He says Hi

Petty. Ladies. Hi, Pity. When I was in first grade, we had too many kids in our grade. So they had to combine two classes into three classes. I remember sitting on the rug with my two best buddies, hoping and praying we want to get sent to the expansion team. We lost a couple of role players, but the big three stayed together, thankfully. That's a memory I'll never forget.

Did you hunties ever have a similar situation with a sports team or class where rosters had to get switched up? Sent from my mom's Blackberry that she said I could play on while she drove me to school. That's such a, like clubhouse question. I know. Thank you for asking that. First grade draft. So he's saying three classes had to go to two. Two classes had to go to three.

So they had to draw away from the two big ones to form a third. Oh my God. Can you imagine if you would have lost Chris Bosch and that? All the chemistry is thrown off. Dude. You can let a Haslam go. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

You can let a Chris Anderson go. but the big three got to stay together, man. Yeah. But it is those role players that make the whole thing work. If you lose, yeah, if you lose a Kevin Harrington or a Tommy Grandy, it's tough. Ooh, those are your boys. That's tough. Yeah, they know all your, you know, you can't talk during class,

we can do like hand motions and like bases and they can just pick up on it. You don't have that guy? I mean, what are you even doing in class? Paying attention? I don't think we ever have. had that. That was my dream actually to like like football season comes around.

This is always like a fantasy of mine growing up. Like we don't have enough people. Or we have we have okay, how many people do you need for a football team? Like 12? Minimum. Minimum 12. Like hardcore minimum. School down the street only has six guys this year.

Gotta form a super team. Two schools combined. But those six players on that team are like Two of them are like, whoa. Like they're going to carry us in high school. Yeah. Like maybe a big lineman, like a linebacker, the two pieces you're missing on your squad of 12. They come.

Now you have like a like a real team. They got to wear your team like jerseys and stuff. They brought over more of an identity. They brought over a presence. Mm-hmm. Yeah. We can, we can, we can hang with anybody. We got them.

Yeah. Like they have a, like, they brought a whole different like team like a, toughness. Like we didn't have anybody like that before. They're from like the school on the, you know, the other side of town. Yeah. Here's an idea.

The teachers host a public draft for their classrooms. You know, when you go check the draft roster. Oh, so, so crazy. You go check the class roster. Dude, let's say, let's Mel's best available at that. Let's get commis out there,

the principal, you know, welcoming, everybody to the trade draft. You have the three teachers back there in their war rooms being like, yeah, that's who I want first. Do they do that? I think they do do it. It's just not public. You think it's not like a random teacher classroom generator?

I think there's, I think there might be some sort of like generator based on like last names and like certain amount of, you know what I mean probably like guy and girl and stuff. But I'm pretty sure that like when it push came to shove, there would be sometimes or like, Mr. Kidwell, be like, hey, I'd really appreciate if I could get this kid and I'll send you this kid. Really? I think so. Like, are they trying to build chemistry or they're trying to get the smartest kids? Like, I think they're trying to build like a nice mix.

Like making a team. A nice cocktail, you know, a nice, a nice chemistry. We need some personality. We need somebody else set the tone in the classroom. First round draft pick. I'm taking Ross McCauley. That's your LeBron James. Okay.

Cornerstone of this franchise. Face of the franchise. He's going to get good grades. He's going to set the tone in the class. Hey, he'll be quiet. Hey, hey, he's smart. He's good athlete. Yeah, yeah.

He'll listen to the teacher, but he'll also have fun. Also, all the other kids literally look up to him. Give me David Hedman. Staying out of trouble. Yeah. Wow. What a pick. I'll get right in line on that team.

I was kind of like, he's quiet, I'm quiet. I think me and you are probably like it was a little, never know what you're going to get this year out of this guy. It's a little like Pac-Man Jonesy. Yeah, like a lot of,

you know, you'd like to think like some pretty high end, like hey, all of a sudden he could have a quarter on high honor roll. Yeah, he could. Also could have a quarter we get a D minus in Spanish.

He could get it in school suspension at any moment. But also could get everybody in line to help make sure that they listen to me. Leader qualities. Right. We'll see. We'll see what we get. Yeah, so I never had that exactly.

I think that definitely does go down with the teachers, at least back when we were in school, not a reminiscent pod. But that always happened to me like when you kind of like tour de France or some event that would be going on where you get, it could be field day, it could be tour to France, it could be hoops for heart, it could be where you would like, you didn't have total control over what was going on. But all of a sudden, you'd like kind of like, hey, if we sit next to each other, maybe they'll just like group us together.

Yeah. Sitting in the gym, like waiting for your rosters to be pulled of like where you're going. You're like, oh, really? Okay. Then all of a sudden, yeah, you see, you know, Tommy Grandi and Jordan Reeser run off and you're like, fuck. Man. It's going to be so fun.

Missing out. There's always stuff like that. Group projects. You know, even when stuff, it was just in class, where it'd just be a group project. We're like, all right, this is our groups that we're working with for today. We have this special program going on. Hey, it's grandparents day. And here's the, the groups that we're pulling together.

These group of 12 kids over here, these 12 kids over here, these 12 kids over here, all of your friends are in those two. And then I would be in the one that. Oh, that always happened to me too. I was like, how did I not know? Yeah. Or, like, actually, it like happens in your favor. I would feel kind of guilty sometimes, you know?

You got the All-Star team? I was like, I kind of feel like. Yeah. I don't know if this is supposed to happen. I think we forced it. You're looking over at Danny Cox and you're like, he's working hard. Like, he's a good kid. He'll make the most of it because, like, he's smart and everything, but like, feel bad.

Yeah. I wonder if they line up. The teachers line up crushes. No idea. He's two still together. Got some seventh-eighth grade drum. from Johnny. The air smells good today.

Greetings from Cleveland with my third email. Hadrick? Station now, today's the preposterously early last day of school? Typing this as I pick up the classroom to close the book of my fourth year as a teacher. Today will be victory formation from 745 to 240. Whoa. Currently loving Mills best available days of school and it prompted me to deem myself an expansion. team, the math class maniacs, major double A baseball vibes.

My picks from the teacher's side. We're going to go five to one here, BP, because, yeah, five to one, five to one. Day after a snow day, half the kids show up and we tried not to freeze. Number four, presentation day, letting the kids do all the work while I post up in the desk chair. Number three, test review game day, not working, but not not working, best of both worlds. test review after the test? No, it's before

game day because so like I had a teacher one time that literally would like literally would make like Jeopardy when it was all the different categories

of the tests that of the topics of the tests that we were about to have in like a day or two so we'd break up in teams and it was like a fun different way to prep

so we could play Jeopardy and try to test our knowledge and kind of have an idea of you know that one's going to be a tough one You know, that's, you know, United States history for 700. This trouble. Mr. Tubb.

Special guest assembly day letting someone else eat up an hour while all I have to do is not fall asleep. Who's not buying this? Number one, last day before Easter break, 65% as hype is right before Christmas, but made up for with good weather. Before Easter? Yeah, Easter break, Johnny. Do we ever have any Easter break? Hell no. It was just on Sunday, right?

Sunday, and we'd always have to go to school the next day. day. Ew, that's why I hate these. Exactly. People get honest. I'm like, what are you talking about, dude? You got to, you got to go to church on Sunday, a longer church. You have 60 minutes going to be blasted in your year on Sunday night. You get school the next day. This sucks. Your, you know, your mom's like rushing you through your last part of your cousins because it's like, all right, we got to go and we got to stuff to do. I got to get ready for the week.

Question, which NFL coach do you wish was your teacher growing up? Mine would be Mike McDaniel. Dude's got the sense of humor you need to go from August to May. Sent from my school issued laptop. that's about to collect some dust for two months. Well, Johnny, congrats on another year. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for making this part of your day.

NFL coach, you want to be your teacher. I'd rock with Harbaugh so hard. Wow. Interesting. Because you can just, he'd be about it when it's time to be about it. And you'd respect him for that. Like when it's time to work, he's time to work. He'd be all about the like balance, you know.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, let's go outside. Let's go outside. So mix it up and like... Yeah, it's good for you, right? Mm-hmm. Get out there to, you're like, what's going on? Yeah.

And, like, if you get him off topic, he's never coming back. Oh, I love an off-topic teacher. Yeah. Jim Harbaugh would be the best substitute teacher. Jim Harbaugh full-time. Man. What about... Oh, remember when you...

your teacher, like just any teacher, would, um, like, kind of like tease you, like, like it'd be a time of the day that you wouldn't really be going outside, but it'd be a really nice day and they'd be like, kind of like, kind of like left turning you, like you're about to do some, some work or something, but they're like, but so we're going to have, instead of that, we're going to, since you guys have been good, we're going to go outside and have two hours of full recess. Did that, that ever happened to you? it'd be like at a weird time the day

like kind of like unplanned like in your whole class was like what? They would get so hype I don't know it only happened like a couple of times it would be like such like a what

out of nowhere shocker that's only literally in May like that's like what Johnny was saying it'd be like May never in the beginning of year it'd be like May 9th you know the petunias and the flowers are full bloom out there

And he's the kind of, he's the kind of dude that like, I feel. like if you really did do something stupid or get in trouble, he wouldn't give you like something where he was really pissed off. He would just give you kind of like a, I just expect him more of you, man. Yeah, he wouldn't like yell at you. Dang. My bad, Mr. Reed.

The question I was wondering is if you have any sweet memorabilia from the early days of elementary or middle school, not a reminiscing pod that you guys still hold on to. Mine is a t-shirt I got when my elementary school was infested with mold when I was in fourth grade. We had to be shipped off to several other elementary schools for a month while they fix the situation. I'm still not sure why they commemorated that moment with a wearable merch, but the shirt. shirt is pretty sick. Anyway, slap me on the ass with Jason Giambi's forearm vein, then knocked the wind out of me with the Sears 1998 Christmas catalog.

Oh, dude. Go birds. Dave from Lancaster, PA. I forgot about our sign-offs, dude. Nobody has better inside jokes. The name of a podcast was better inside jokes than us. There's not one. A whole entire, whole tank. Sign-offs, little station situation. Let me see this. I survived the molded. No way they made merch about that? That's a cool teacher that had that idea.

Because that's like not a thing you want to brag about. But it's also like could be a good rallying cry, you know? Everybody's kind of down and out. Hey, our school just got messed up for a month. You got to go to different places. Probably some money that's being spent to fix this place. Hey, let's commemorate it with a funny, slick looking shirt here. It's so sad.

Race some money. Dang. Okay. But hold on. So they had a mold infestation. in their school so they went to different schools and came back to the school. That'd be wild. That comeback party.

Yeah. Dude, oh my, I never thought. Yeah, never thought you'd see any of those kids ever again. People have like different personalities. You're like,

what did mold do to you? Jesus Christ. Different shoes? Yeah. Did they give their family money? Didn't know if we were just going on vacation while everybody was. What happened at that school? How about you and your best friend?

get split up, have to go to different schools. Never the same again. They're off the whole chemistry of the class. Hey, you and the girl you like, different schools. I was going to say it. Never see her again. Romeo and Juliet. Hey, she stays at that school because her family likes it more.

She's starting hearing stuff. She's dating somebody else. What? She likes Kyle? Actually, I just... At the other school, what was he like? Mm-hmm. I just forgot to mention this.

I just forgot, but I forgot when we were kind of recap an indie. I'm sitting there in the lot after the race, just, you know, in a lawn chair, having a, having a Kirkland High No, one of those off-brand ones, whatever. Probably fire. No, it's great. I'm sitting there, and all of a sudden this guy stops right next to where we are. And it's me, my brother-in-law, his girlfriend, and my wife, and the guy just was like, Joey Molanaro?

was it the country you're representing or the city? I thought they were doing. Yeah, maybe. And then the city across the back and then under are the people's names that you're rocking with. Yeah, your team. Yep. And I wrote my city on the back of the shirt like real fast and like kind of like didn't know. You know when you're like writing something on a poster board and it's like all.

lined all weird. You didn't like... Miss facing you didn't account for. Yeah, yeah. There's a lot of room on the side. Oh my, I messed it up in permanent marker. One of my biggest fears. Took it back to my house and I was like,

my sister was really good at art. Amory. And I was like, I don't know what to do about this. Yo, and she like, you know how moms can like fix letters? And like, she made them like bubble letters. Wow. And filled it in shading.

It was like yeah, my sister. It was just, dude, I was just lit. Yeah. I was really proud of it. God, it looks so good. Yeah, because it was like a pretty cool logo. It was like, yeah, it was like the tour to France logo. but had, you know, like the dates and our school name probably around it.

Probably some copyright issue there. I don't think they're worried about it too much. We stole it. Stole it. But you had that and then the tie-dye and then, yeah, you get some signatures on there. Oh, yeah. That would be mine for sure. Tie-dine, sure.

Mine was like yellow. I think I had blue and like purple. Yeah. Purple, I remember. I had a blue year and it wasn't like a heavy purple. It was like a violet purple. All the colors were really light. Yeah.

Yeah. I think I was the lead designer. And I was just like the warrior head, dude. Just like quit playing games. Put the warrior head on there on the front. Boom. Gets hard. Keep it simple.

And they did the warrior head. We're in the like the head dress feather. that spells out warriors. I was like, yeah, they picked the right one. You guys could do that? That's pretty crazy. It was just like, you know, you're picking logos on Madden.

It was like somebody just picked that one. And I was like, yes. Nice. Like, we got to school branding, right? Gray shirt. Simple. Gray shirt, though, could run into some pit stains back then. Yeah, I didn't know about that.

Didn't think about that. Man, that was a problem for three and a half, four years. You're just like, dude, I know that I'm, I'm going to be sweating through this, man, because then I'm going to feel that first instance of moisture. And then I'm just going to be thinking about it. So it's just going to get even worse. It's going to go from like a little bit of, huh, maybe I could like, you know, go in and get the blow dryer in the bathroom to

clear this out to all of a sudden, I can't raise my arms. It's a full day problem. They can see, even when my arms are lowered and squished together, they can see it. It's amazing, like the things you have to overcome that are like problems like that. That was like freshman orientation. That's the only thing I remember about it. Bro, like you can't focus on anything else. It was late July or early August.

You're going into high school and this, you know, you got this guy and all the seniors in there. You have no idea what's going on. Your head spinning already. And then, oh, by the way, they're like, yeah, here's this gray shirt to wear all day. Freshman orientation. That's in the summer. Oh, man, nightmare. Like right before school.

starts all you're thinking about all you're thinking about is your pits that's the only thing i'm not listening to one word about i'm just like i can't raise my arms i'm done for and you're right the second you think about oh i forgot to put it under it's over dude your body's like it's just like let it roll yeah it just happened and that's 18 years ago that's the only thing i remember about that day fighting off pit sweat the whole day going into the bathroom maybe so embarrassed why is that the most embarrassing thing Wiping near Pits down. I can't think of one more embarrassing. Just because in that situation, man,

in a situation, an orientation situation, you're going into this whole new world where there's all these new people, new girls, upperclassmen. You're like, dude, anything you can to not get made fun of.

So scary. So then you're like, when I have pits, it's over. Pit guy. Pit guy in a picture. I mean, Michael Pittman.

You ever been Michael Pittman in a picture? Kevin Pitt's not like that. Because I'm always, I was always hyper aware. Me too. Me too because I saw a picture of like someone get got at a basketball game. Yeah. Oh my God. You're a monster. Someone kill him. Like that's how embarrassing that was. I was like, oh, dude, your life is over. And that's the worst. God. You ever get home and look? Like, what kind of damage should I do? Oh, yeah. In private, you're like, just imagine. Like, I have dad pit sweat after working out. Like thank God I had a hoodie and a jacket on and don't carry that at September. I was keeping the jacket on.

How bad did I smell? So nervous. Dude, this has been a really heavy school show. It's good because summer's here. So that makes sense. So it's about to be over. But yeah, now we got the long summer months. The beach balls will be out.
