Like 7th or 8th grade. Oh, the craziest time of your life. No idea what to say on the phone at all. But somebody's always doing the talking. Yeah. But then you're just like walking. You got that feeling in your stomach. In the background.

You're in the background. What? What? Say it. Say it. Dude, ask her if she's going to OLG Fest. Ask what she's wearing right now. Who cares, bro?

Did they see a movie tonight? I would. Yeah, I would always peddle that. I'd be like, dude, you're going to die one day. Here's. T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-G-186. 186. We're throwing tricks.

We're throwing parties. This Sunday or this Saturday. Whoa. Hey, doesn't know the days. Nope. Never will. This Saturday, March 23rd. May 23rd.

Doesn't know the months either. Doesn't know the months never has. Two to six. Yep. Ten roof. Downtown Indy. We'll be there in social video. Dude, I always have a problem with saying rough.

My family gives me a hard time because I said rough. My dad just hit me with roof before we left. I almost wrecked my car. A little tin roof, B. Hey, what's going on at the rough place? I was like, damn. Hey, hey, hey, hey, you'll be feeling rough at tin rough. Coach B will be in the house.

Don't know how he heard, but he'll be there. Did you post it on LinkedIn? I'm going to this week. Yeah. It'd be a good networking event. You know, come shake some hands, bump some shoulders with the Indy's finest. God dang. Networking events.

You ever been to one? Yeah. Did you ever go? Almost a few times. But it just could. Okay. Yeah, I went to one. I went to one.

Everybody goes through that phase when you're 21 to 23 where networking events. Remember that's like the only thing in college. that you're supposed to do is network. Literally. Dude, there was, they had like seminars about how to network and what you do at the networking events. I was like,

I'm pretty sure, this is a scam. For sure. If it's that like involved. I was like, what do we have, what do you mean? Just talk to him?

Like, is that all this? What's a big deal? Like, just talk to them. I don't know. Hey, just got a text from somebody.

We can get back to that. I just got text from somebody that we invited. I invited. may come through, looking promising, does he or does he not play for the Indianapolis Colts? He does. Oh, oh. Gary going to tell us?

No. Because I don't want him to not show up and then me look like an idiot. But it's a possibility. All's to say, 10 Ruff. Rough. 10 Ruff. May 23rd. Day before the Indianapolis 500-mile race,

the greatest spectacle racing. and we'll be doing some great a spectacle and drinking. How many beer, Schmitty? You should bring a bud. Yeah, come on. Bring a bud, bring a Miller, bring a gores. I think we're working on something with Red Bull. I'm pretty sure that, I don't know,

thinking like the first 100 people or so in the door are supposed to get. This for real? Yeah. I was supposed to get like a drink ticket, a drink token. or something that gets them a free Red Bull cocktails. So be in the door early. Zang. None of this.

We talked about it last week, the past couple weeks, none of this showing up at four because you're like, well, I just want to see how, no. We, we should get there at like 530,

like when it's like pop in. Party starts at 2. So we get there at 5.30. No. Because me and Ben are going to be there. Pretty much sharp before it even opens. We're just going to be, who knows what we'll be doing.

We're getting like floaties. We're getting, inflatable pools will be doing all of it. So Red Bull. Red Bull, the OG energy drink kind of. Yeah. Totally.

Also, the first one. You kind of felt like when you're a kid, you're like, that's alcohol. Illegal. It looks too sophisticated. The can,

the skinny can they really just dominated right out of the gate with that. So like even like your mom would like crack a sugar-free one. My dad would, on that sugar. The red food. The light blue. Light blue, like five calories,

no sugar. So you're not worried about that and you get a little bit of a kick. That's big time kick. Money. Money. But yeah, that's going down.

So keep that in mind to get a little free Red Bull cocktail courtesy of Red Bull because they're kind of like sponsoring it in a way. But, yeah, Indiana land this week.

It's race week. Biggest week of the year. Beow! Pee-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pi-Fee. Big a single here in Indianapolis. That's why Benny's here. We're in the noon-improved Joe's basement. Can't see too much of it on camera, but Benny approves.

Look at, look at the, like, this is the most floor I've ever seen. Not sneezing? I don't know what you did down here. I did a lot of vacuuming. I did a lot of, I removed the rug. We had the rug. We had the rug that was just beat the shit because of the cats. That's it.

I said, I said, ride, do you have any attachment to this? Thinking it was like, yeah. So then her grandma gave us and it was like, you know, sentimental tie. Nope. Nope. She said, nope, not at all. I said good going, going out back, going on the trash. So that's how a little bit of a theme going on here, a lot of different posters set up, way cleaner.

Feeling good. And we're in person and it's race week. I can't be feeling any better, man. I'm so excited. I'm so excited. I know for the non-club house who aren't from here who don't live here, who are not a part of it, you know, you don't really understand. But just think of it as, you know, wherever you're from, whatever the biggest festival, whatever the biggest festival, whatever the biggest. parade, wherever the biggest celebration is where you're from, that's all this week here

in Indiana. Nobody working Friday, really. Nobody working Monday. Nobody working like Thursday through Monday. Kind of nice, man. Big fake week. Fake week alert. We love fake week alerts.

Our boy, Joey Hinging, he hit us up and was like, this is the fakesest week in India? I said, yeah, totally. It's like Christmas. Like top three fake week. On par with Christmas week here in Indiana land. And we're going to get to Mel's best available days of school. Ooh. Looking forward to that one.

I also got to give a quick shout out to Austin, front row Austin. We got our jerseys finally. He gifted us these probably all I've been thinking about really five months ago. Really the grail for me. Walk by it at the mall when I was in fifth grade or something. And I was like, I mean, they're doing they're doing the black chiefs. Chiefs never wore that ever. No.

We would never dare. But I saw the Dante Hall and I was like, oh, that's kind of sick. But love Dante Hall. Then I saw the priest Holmes in the window. Window shopping. It was almost like when you see a Red Bull when you're a kid, you're like, that's the adults only. I saw this jersey and I was like, I'm not ready for that. I'm not on that level.

I have to experience some life. Yeah, I can't just put that on. It's just not, it's too much for me. Yeah. Can't wear that at school. Who am I? Wow. But now?

Still can't hold off me. Yeah, no, I think it's good. But for those, the YouTube viewers, these guys are a little well on YouTube, which should be. Then he's got the Black Priest Holmes chief that he just talked about described. There you go. And then I got the Black Falcons Brett Farbra. Crazy pull. Stitched.

Will this be what we wear in Indiana, Lynn? Maybe, probably. You got to get the helmet with a two bar. So Brett Favre. Like how did he even? Did he know he's playing QB? I don't think so. I think he looked at it.

It was just like, I'm not a quarterback. I'm a football player. A football player coach. Could have been a safety. Who knows? He just went where the QBs were going that day. I just play ball,

man. You put me wherever. I'm going to, and I'm playing. I'm lining up and I'm playing. So we got the fits on because it's a big week. Benny's back home. So excited about it.

Good to see you. Wow. That was a good backpack. It'll be back. Yep. Good back Dap. Mm. Networking, though.

Let's go back to that for a second. I'll never forget. I was at a... Can you remember where we went to school? I don't know if there's other colleges like this where you had to get as many... You had to get a certain amount of like extracurricular credits. Yeah. What were those called?

I can't remember what they were called. But you had to go to these different... That was driving me insane. Again, a definite scam here. But you had to get a certain amount of hours of these different. events and one of them was a networking one. And again, at like 21, 22, I was like, I mean, if there's anyone I'm going to go to, that probably makes the most sense. Right. Uh-huh. Right. And we're, I was sitting there and the people who were putting it on were literally

walking you through basically just had to have a conversation. I broke it down and just like, oh, like you said. So we're, you just, you're just telling us to talk to people. Who can't? But they would like, like, Like they show, they, they, they show an example of carrying business cards. That's how old we are. Where you would carry business cards. I remember getting business cards. I was rocked.

I was rocking a business card for a minute. Uh-huh. Like a comedy one with like my social media on the back, giving them people at crackers after shows. Yep. It's comedy club. Right. Right. Right.

And they were showing how you go about like, and where you, where you plant the business card in the conversation. conversation about the business card. Now I just don't talk to anybody. No. What's the point? Now just stamp your social media handle on your forehead and just that's all we need. Go with that. That's really, remember resumes?

Barely. What's the point? What would I even put on that now? Don't even want to, don't even want to think about that. Cover letters? College pro painters. cover letters, dude. 2012.

Cover letters for the job. That was so crazy applying for a job you knew you weren't going to get. It took the whole day. Are people still doing that? I have no idea. You apply for a job online and it's like, okay, got my resume up to date. Boom, we're in. And then you apply for the job.

And then you got to fill out your resume again in their database. Yeah. I was like, but it's right here. I uploaded it. And then it would try to like translate it, try to take from your, a resume, you uploaded it into their stuff and it was like everything was all off. It was all fucked up. And then you had to like write a paragraph

about why you want to work there. So I don't have any money. Exactly. It's my dad's mad at me. Need a place of employment so I can have a roof over my head. Is that good enough for your cover letter? Dude, I used to flex the, what is it called? Like the people that knew you?

Oh, the, the, the, uh, the, uh, recommendations. No about that? It's not. It's not. I can't even think of it. It was three. If you get three, that was like, no,

I have like seven, bro. I put like Pat Mac on there. Dude, I was putting everybody on. Reference. References. References.

Not recommendations. All with like my friend's numbers. Yeah. But who's calling those, you know? I know. Like if you're getting a job, are they like actually hidden up like some of the references?

Like, hey, is he a piece of shit? Has that ever happened in the history of the world? Hey, uh, this guy called? me? Wouldn't know if you're a complete douchebag or not.

It's never happened. Hitting up Chiller? Mm-hmm. Hi. Is this Chiller? Is this Pat McAfee? And Chiller picks out. What's good?

Yeah, I mean, like, he's fine. Like, I mean, I've known him all life. He'd be cool. Okay. And is your name actually Chiller? Hangs up. Is this, this is Anthony Calhoun? I'm speaking with?

It's just joking on the other side. I'll talk to you on the other side. Just joking and he just talks to him like Doc itch the whole time. I was back. Nobody in the history of the world has ever called a reference. Man, thank God I don't have to do that right now or have had to do that. Yeah, it'll happen again. It'll happen again.

Yeah, I think about that a lot. God, what would I put from 2020 to 2027? Dude, where would you actually work, though? Like, if you just had to, like, get, like, a, you just got to get a job. Like, the internet's over. What do you have to do? I don't know. Am I getting to, like, organized crime?

Dude, I'd work at the mall in two seconds. We'll just let, dude, actually, that's just what I might do anyway. Internet's still going. Oh, he works at Full Locker now? Perfect. Wouldn't be a bad game. That'd be amazing. All my life.

I mean, get a little discount. Go in the back. That smell. Only working places for the discount. 30% discount. The discount when I worked at like in the foot locker circuit was insane. We had like these months where it sometimes it'd be like 40% off. Dude, I was letting everybody hit.

I was like, yo, let's go to the mall. That's worth it. That's worth it. It really was. I was buying everything. NBA socks for no reason. On a Saturday, random Saturday. Why does you have green NBA socks on?

Hey, the 40 was this weekend. It was like an event Seattle Super Sonic shorts Yep Ain't no pockets though No Dude no pockets so hard You had to put your wallet in the waistband

And your phone in the waistband too Walking around like Batman No pockets so hard that you had to wear A pair of shorts that had pockets Under it The shorts that didn't have pockets I just stopped doing that not too long ago Okay maybe like five years ago

But Yeah I was the king of wearing like huge shorts underneath like khaki pants. I was like a magician. I couldn't do it. It was too uncomfortable. I didn't know what else to do. I was like,

well, I'm not wearing compression shorts because those are like all disgusting and like. I had to find the perfect pair of shorts that were small enough and like tied enough to my body that had pockets that were comfortable enough to then I could throw on the Yukon no pocket shorts over the top. You know what they were?

Ron Colley football shorts. Ron Colley football mesh shorts. Best in the game, dude. You'd wear some. white Yukon basketball shorts over them, but you'd see the Ron Colley screen-printed nine-time state champion through it. What's good?

That's what you had to do, man. Hurricane Sifery's. We weren't always blessed to have shorts that had pockets in every single one of them. It was amazing the things we had to do. I'd have 14 things in my waistband. Bend over and just get stabbed by my keys, my wallet, my phone would be like,

fall out constantly. Mm-hmm. Whatever. Is this worth it? And then you look at the shorts, you're like, yeah. It was honestly, that was like the time for the drawstring bag when that really popped off. Wow, the drawstring bag. In foot locker terms, the cinch bag.

Ooh. Dude. A lot, a lot went on in the cinch bag. A lot, dude. When those first drop, though, in like fifth grade, putting your basketball shoes in the cinch bag, throw it on your back and going to practice. That was a good feeling. Started using that as the overnight bag at sleepovers.

Yeah, it got kind of cool. Everybody had like a primetime cinch bag that you're like, that's my, that's my bag, you know? Hey, shone up to the end of the school, your pool party. Oh, sandals in the back in a, in a cutoff. You weren't even looking in there. You just didn't want to show up without it, you know? Oh, yeah, it's in my bag. Sometimes a cell phone in there.

Hey, your dad's cell phone's in there because you don't have a cell phone yet and they have no way to reach you. You remember that shit? When cell phones weren't cell phones? You know? I was like, yeah, I got my sister's cell phone with me today. Like what? All just point of contact things. That's it.

It's all it was. And no one even called it. Just be able to call Coach B. Hey, can you? I think it's over now. Can you come pick me up? I text my dad the wrong thing one time, dude.

Like my dad, like we were going to a graduation open houses. I was like a senior. And it was like, I don't know if I'm allowed to go to all these. Like, am I allowed to go? Like, they're pretty much parties, but they're labeled as like an open house. So like, I was like, yo, I'm going to this girl's open house. Might have be like, all right, like, have fun.

But I'm like, does he know that this is, we're just going to get like drunk kind of? Like, it's one of those. And he's like, drunk at open houses? Well, I don't know. It's like a great. I don't know. So some are a little dangerous. But, um.

I just didn't Peg that because there's just too much The parents are so forefront at that But no but like when you're a senior It's like It's over So their parents like didn't care anymore Oh you go to a couple of those open houses

Yeah where they're like hey go pop yourself a beard Yeah it's like we're in college now Like they don't care about the rules anymore Like high school's over So we're just going to all these like parties And why is we get used to it right Right? Right And you're like oh okay

Yeah my dad'd be asking me questions He'd be like, he was asking me all this stuff. And one time I was with all my friends. And I was like, I just, I was texting my dad like it was one of my friends. And he goes, what are they, what are you guys eating over there? And I was like, why is he asking these questions? I thought it was like, Joe King or something. And I was like, hot dogs and shit.

And I sent it to him. It's like the first time I ever cussed around my dad. And it was just hot dogs and shit. Then I had to hit him back and be like, oh, sorry, somebody took my phone. Oh, man. One of those lies. Yeah, there's a time when you can get away with this. Somebody took my phone, but you only had like one of those.

Ever. Somebody took my phone. Now nobody's taking your phone. Everybody's like locked, face scan, touch ID. Somebody took your phone. No. Not a chance. What a liar.

Not a chance. That's why. That's where you say, I got hacked. Ooh, you can really say that for anything. you have a few too many and DM a girl you're not supposed to DM or something I got hacked you can just roll with that somebody got in there yeah somebody got in there but then that's where you get to follow up you have to start sending like win a PS4 if you subscribe to you know sitting a picture you've seen the new Raybans she's like I know it's you

you start texting that to your dad when a pair of ray bands and a PS4 Coach B Dad Oh shit my bad Edit text Editing text is a whole other thing too I always forget

That's only 15 minutes What? The edit text window? Yeah Oh I didn't know I never knew the time limit Did you look it up? 15

No way Yeah if you have to edit a text there should be a feature where you can see the unedited text. Oh, that's what it is. You can see that? Yeah, dude. Like, if I send you a text and it says edited underneath, you can tap that text and it pulls down and it shows what I initially put.

So you can see, like, how dumb I really am. I like that feature. Didn't know that. Really? No, I just knew the 15 minute mark. You got that window. Is the 15 minute mark the same thing for undo send? Or, yeah, unducend.

that's out of my territory I don't know I want to let the clubhouse figure I'll be undo I undo all types of messages because it just doesn't look right I'm like I can't I can't have them see that yeah

that's fair that's fair I've had a couple of those though that are yeah some important text to some important kind of people or one of those or I'm kind of like you

and I'm like thinking on it I'm like I'll send it but then I get nervous because I don't want to I don't want to look at my phone I'm weird about that Ben knows I'll have Ben read some of my like if someone text me back

that's crazy or like an email or something I'm like I just I feel better about you reading it and then relaying it to me I don't want to be the first one to read it really I got to read it and so like that'll happen where I'll send something and I'll just like put my phone down I'm like I want to see the result

but then like by the time they message me back and I'll look and I'll see something that I like misspelled you know like oh god I go try to edit it can't do it like what's it I thought this is I thought this was a feature been 15 minutes yeah so it doesn't work out well for me

in that way didn't know it was a 15 minute window it always does disappear on me though I'm like where is the edit button what's uh what are we wearing in Indianaland I don't know I brought some stuff

but I've wore it the past. Like, everything I think I want to wear is stuff I already wore. So I'm like, I don't know. Maybe I'll find something this week. I'm not even going to look. Did you bring the fire suit? Yeah.

Nice. I think. Ooh, maybe I don't think I did. So I was like, I wore that last time. It's too, too much of a thing. That's like three years ago. We haven't done this for three years. Oh, really?

Yeah. Yeah. People don't remember that. It's been three years. Rossi's fire suit. Rossi started on the front row. Can't believe I have that Never forget the panic attack I had

When I tried it on Couldn't get it off Home alone Try on Rossi's fire suits I'm like whatever Like how hot can it be Zip it all the way up like a onesie Can't get it off

Don't know what to do Because there's no one home So I'm like like a bear against a tree I'm like trying to get the zipper off Like a straight jacket screaming like way too hot Way too uncomfortable Feeling claustrophobic

the panic sets in I think I had to break the zipper honestly Like it was a moment Ha I'm alone in my room That's like my son Every time that I'm like taking his shirt off to get in the bath You know helping him out

And it always gets caught like on his head Yeah I'm like I'm like I'm like that same time I'm like That would be pretty fucking rough So he was just taking your shirt off you're just stuck on your head.

That's great. Two seconds too long. All right. Get it off of me. Get it off of me. I had a couple claustrophobic moments, man. I might be claustrophobic a little bit. Do you still have a...

Do you still have Rossi's number? I think so. I don't know. Should we prank call him right now? FaceTime him right now. Are you serious? Yeah. Dude,

now I'm scared. I'm scared. See if you pick some. No, I'm nervous. I'm nervous. I'm good. It'd be bad. No, I'm done. Two idiots, FaceTime Indy 500 driver, YouTube.

I bet he picks up. Just try it. I don't want to ruin it. I don't want to ruin it. Why? Because I think he likes us. I don't want to like... I don't know if he does. He never can tell. He can never tell.

He can never tell. He's not good qualifying. So do it. Be like, hey. No, no, no. No. And ask if he wants to call on our pot. No, I don't want to.

I don't want to. Why? Because, like, I don't know. I don't know him like that. Yeah, but it'd be funny to see if he does. If he answers. Do you have a number? Yeah.

It'd be better coming from you. No, it'd be better coming from you. Why? Because me and him have the relationship. where he would be like, fuck you, nope. But like, really?

Roxander Rossi via FaceTime I don't even know anything about Indy car Like I wouldn't be able to ask we're not asking about IndyCar we're just like what's up bitch I don't know what what's up

all right he's reaching he's got it right there it's up for him no way I canceled it no way that was though

those are some of the underrated sleepovers though when something like that would happen a night when you're like I don't really know what's going down nothing really is happening

so that all of a sudden you just you just whip out the phone you're like I guess not even a chance like a chance in hell that you were gonna hang out with like a group of girls or something and then somebody would just somebody just let it rip dude all of a sudden you're talking to four girls and you have no idea what to say I'm like right I'm not even talking about like high school no I mean either like 7th 3rd grade

oh the craziest time of your life no idea what to say on the phone at all but somebody's always doing the talking yeah Yeah, but then you're just like walking. You get that feeling in your stomach in the back. What? What? Say it. Say it.

Dude, ask her if she's going to OLG Fest. Ask her what she's wearing right now. Who cares, bro? Did they see a movie tonight? I would. Yeah, I would always peddle that. I'd be like, dude, you're going to die one day. You might die tomorrow?

Ask her. Dude, ask her if they'll sneak out to them. See? Hey. Rossi. No, bro, no. I can't believe. Hotter than the hot girls, Rossi.

I thought, I thought you had no fear, no qualms. No, I have the most fear. I've never been more scared in my life. I'll, I'll kind of do anything but that. Because it's like one of those things are I think he kind of likes me, but I have no idea why. So I'm like, let's just keep it there, bro. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. That's fair. I'll be back. See, he's two frames I'm calling the Indycard driver. Called Ticumasato. That's full. Thanks.

Wow. Look at you. He's still a sports update back Monday. Look at Johnson dropping an active indie car driver. Is he active? He's an active than 500. Yeah, usually my polls aren't active. No, he's active in the 500.

All right, we'll keep that. We'll keep that on the back burner. Maybe we will. Maybe later he gets, kid goes down. Juice me up a little bit. Kid goes down. I might, I might, yeah. Oh, come on.

Petter Award. Pattle Ward. It's a Patel Ward. He got a fear. He's five foot six. He's an Indycar driver. What are you getting? Okay.

Let's do, uh, Mel's best available days of school. Can't wait. Let's get it. All right. I'm going to start this one off. You're first?

You're first? I'll start this one off. just staring at me. Mel's best available. Just staring at me there. Ready to go. So scared. Mel's best available days of school.

Now, I think that this is just kind of an undisputed, like if you didn't take them number one overall, it would be something of what the hell are they doing? What's going on in that regime? What kind of operation do they run there? Yeah. It's the right. It's the, it's the. Mel's best available days of school, the last day of school. Yeah, it is kind of undisputed, isn't it?

I mean, how are you going to, you know, I have a bunch more on my list that I feel personally more tied to, I think. It'd be weird if it wasn't taken for herself. Right. But I think that's just one of those that, like, if you're the GM and you don't draft last day of school first as the best available. Fanbase is going to turn on you. Fanbase is turning? You're kind of like, is that guy going to have a job tomorrow? We're selling this team?

Right. What is happening here? Last day of school. Put mutts and seeds. Last day of school, smell. Last day of school, you walk in the room on the last day.

And it's almost like this for three days. There's like, it seems like there's three last days. Yeah. Then there's the last day, last day. Kind of sad. That's a.

On my list, I have some other that lead up to that. But yeah, I mean, that was kind of my reasoning. That's one of the one of the downfalls of the last day of school. If you had to pick something that need to work on, you know,

doesn't have the perfect arm strength. You know, maybe his 40 times isn't what you wanted exactly. But like, those are the kind of the downfalls of the last day of school where it's like, hey, it's over. You're not going to see people for a while. Maybe your last chance to get the girl to sign the yearbook or something didn't go that well. Are you going to talk to today finally? Are you going to Alexander Ross here? Dude, what about the dudes on the last day of school?

Always this guy didn't even bring my backpack today. Oh! Whoa! Whoa! Like, it's that serious? He's like, I know I'm not doing anything. Like, I already brought my, like, all the stuff's out of my desk. I don't have any books, no, it's all. I'm good.

I'm gone. You're kind of like, damn. I wish I would have thought about that. I don't know if I would have been allowed to. Just to say it. Yeah, my mom would be like, you. You never know. You're going to get something.

You never, you have to clean out your cubby. No back, no backpack, just a report card. end of the day? That could be a downfall. It was a last day of school getting that last report card. I thought about that. Things didn't go well in the fourth quarter. Second to last day of school.

You're like, well, we're not going to have a report card today. So like have a little, I can have a little fun today. Right. No pressure. Report card day,

though, you open that thing. There's always a chance. There's always a little chance in my mind. I was getting to hell back. You know, I'm like, there's like,

there's still, yo, they could have been like, hey, you got like all bees. couple Cs, maybe a couple A's, but you're just not ready. You're just not ready for eighth grade. I had a surprise report card one time.

Back when you couldn't check your grades, like, you know, when they introduced, you could check your grades online. I hated that. I was like, gosh, shit. But back when that happened, that's old we are, I had a surprise report card. Where it was just like hard copy on the trifold. Yep. What do you mean?

Where I opened it up, I thought I was all gravy. Got a D minus in Spanish. I had one too, dude. I'll never get it. I opened that thing up. It was like a movie scene where I'm like, oh, yeah, good. Zoom in. D minus.

Last day of school, too. No fixing that. See, I think it was so bad though when I, when I, when I opened it up, you know, and then I go and they're like, we'll go talk to her, go talk to the teacher. You know, maybe something happened. Like what? And then I went and she was like, you honestly should have. have gotten an F probably.

Oh! It was like I did you a favor by giving you a D-My. I'm like, I don't know if you did. I think I might have just been better off with an F. I think it was... So we got report cards. How many times are you? Yeah.

So I think it was a second, like going into Christmas break. Devastating report card time when it's before Christmas. A lot rides on that. Everything. Yeah. Rides on that. Your whole.

Your whole mood. Your whole two weeks. Basketball over Christmas break. Like, you're kind of like not playing good because you got a better report card. But sometimes we got the report card when we got back from break. Really? Oh, yeah.

I will never forget that. We got our report cards when we come back from Christmas break. Yeah. I was like, slap my ass. Who's going to know? Right. Who's going to know I have 3Ds right now?

Then even, you know, you bring them back in January, everybody's depressed. Even your parents doesn't even matter. They're like, let's just get through January. You'll figure it out. Well, one of those before, report cards before Christmas break, music. F. Oh, and you do it. Because I just didn't like in music, like we take quizzes every like three weeks and it'd be on like melody, harmony.

And I had no idea what they were. and I kind of in my head was like, I don't even think this matters. I think I'm just going to get an A every time in music. No matter what. Yeah, I think that's what it is. So I was just on those quizzes,

I was like, I have no idea. These all are the same to me. And I would just turn them in and like I'd get like these and I just kept doing it and kept doing it and finally music came back. I was like, I didn't even know that was possible. Dang,

dude. Mr. Phillips, did you like that? He did. Art. I was the only one in the history of music to get an F, I think.

Damn. He had a vendetta against you. I thought he kind of liked me. I kind of thought we were boys. Like I do get in trouble a little bit here and there, but you know, like deep down, I'm a good kid. Come on. Yeah.

I'm just trying to lighten up music, you know, keep it light, keep it fun. I know you kind of don't like me because I don't ever solo singing around the piano. I'm kind of like, you know, laughing when we got the rise up and sing books and we're practicing new church songs. But like, you know, deep down, like I'm here for the right reason. Got a little. too into the Christmas concert in the part where they're like Boise Ida ho ho ho ho ho yeah oh I love the Christmas uh what was it the Christmas program Snyder Stamps Christmas program Christmas program was a legendary God that was that was so that was like

right then when we started doing like practice I feel like we practiced every day for the Christmas program like my life depended on it I'm like you remember that first day where you come in and like on the board they would have like it would be like October 4th and they'd be like start Christmas. Oh my God. Like it's happening. Yeah, Christmas is happening right now. October 4th Christmas program practice.

We got to get ready. Mandatory. We got to get ready for this. It's coming. Bro, I remember Mr. Phillips, our music teacher was like teaching us a lesson in there. Like if we didn't get something right in the song, he'd stand. He would like kind of yell at us.

We'd be on the altar of the church all like trying our best. He'd be like, no. it's this, then it's this. I have no, I was just, okay. Dude, the specials teachers, they would lay it down sometimes because they had to. Yeah, because you kind of didn't respect them as much. I was like, you're not my homeroom teacher.

You're just like the PE teacher. I see you like once a week. And you're kind of fun. Yeah. Like, I'm not going to take advantage of you, but like I'm going to have fun in this class because it's not history. It's not science, not math.

We're playing floor hockey today. Like, I want to cut it loose a little bit. Right. I need this. They would get on you. That was best available last day of school. Go ahead. I forgot we were going to do that.

Okay. God. That's going to be tough. What a weird combination I got going on in me right now. I was just drinking Miller lights for the pool all day and just have a fat coffee at 9 p.m. I was hoping he'd say yes to the coffee. I was like, this is kind of a wild card. No, I was praying for it.

I thought I was the only guy in the world that drank coffee at 9 p.m. Dang, man. I have to pick this one right now. Field day. Yep. You knew it was coming. Easy one off the board. One of my favorite days ever.

Big time memories. Guys were showing out looking good. Girls were showing out looking good. Playing all these different grades. Everybody's showing off. I remember us being in uniform for this too. Like we had a field day that just was totally different than every other field day ever. It was when we were going into,

we're leaving sixth grade going into seventh grade. And we were playing like the big eighth graders. Like, oh my God. Like they just seemed like they just had like they were, they seemed like men. We were playing like real football games again. Some real kickball games, real soccer, real sports.

And I was like, this is the best day of my life. The weather was perfect. The weather would not, no wind, nothing. It was just like. Every field day seemed to be like you get to school and it would be bright sunshine, a little bit of dew on the grass, probably like 68 to 72 in that range. And then the majority of the day that you're out there, still not a cloud in the sky,

probably a high at top of like 78 when you're done. Perfect. And for some reason on this day, we didn't have like, they always like make up some games like let's do this game let's see that game but we were playing real like flag football with these dudes six graders against eighth graders i was like never thought this happened in my life kind of compete in a little bit too like we're we're we're drawn up plays like yo we got the teachers were just kind of sitting back just like letting us do it off day for the teachers yep yeah i don't even like sometimes it was like are they even out here i'm

i kind of thought we were the only ones that had field day but according to the discord and like I know. Follow this show. Everybody had fielded it. Didn't know that. I'll never forget. We played kickball. Dominic Finnelli kicked it.

Bangor on the top of the church, bro. Yeah. Almost hit the window on the top of the church. We were like, are you playing with like the squishy dodgeball type? It's like, ping. No. Or the actual kickball.

We were playing with the actual kickball. So if you got a hold of that the right way, wow. Gone. And that's when like the girls are kind of like starting to play. kickball a little bit for real. So they're like into it. Like we got outfielders.

We got a full team. We're like, you know, trying to like coordinate this whole thing. And then somebody just blast one and everybody starts talking trash. I was like, we got no chance boys. But never forget it.

The next year I couldn't wait for it again. And it never happens like it like this. So the next year we were playing all these weird games. It was windy. Yeah. I was like, forget it, man. Just not the same.

It's never going to happen again. But we had one field day. That was just, I'll never forget. Field day, it's a good one. All right, Mel's best available last day or best days of school. The last day before Christmas break. Oh, that's right there on this one.

Yep, had to take up to see that go. Had to take it. Really needed last day. But it's the feeling like. Yeah. And it's the party. The Christmas party. Yep.

You didn't have last day of school party. you have a Christmas party the last day before Christmas break. And it's a big deal. Yeah. You get you got to, you walk into school and there's a bag on your desk. Oh! There's an ornament in there?

Yep. Maybe some Christmas cupcakes. You have different activities at the Christmas party. You might work for like two periods. Yeah. But nobody's really doing anything. Hey, teachers are dressed up and like Christmas sweaters. I love it.

The teachers do that. One of them has a, you know, the principal has on, or like the assistant principal has on a Santa. How cool is the assistant principal has on a Santa hat? Mr. Welch. What's up? Red nose. Dude, you know who's always like themed out though? Like the front desk lady like in the principal's office?

I'd pass and out gifts. You bring a little little Christmas gift for everybody. A little special one for the crush. Dude, but people are balling out for Christmas gifts for the teacher. Do you remember that? They would hook them up.

I'm like everybody, we went one by one in the class and kids were like giving their teacher. I didn't even know we were doing that. Yeah, rich girl gives a fire gift. Fuck. Mr. Ben. Because no one could say my last name, right?

What did you get, um, Mrs. Collins? I was like, I didn't even know we were, we had to. I didn't get her a damn thing. Nothing. Ask your parents to give the teacher something. And they're like, for what? Maybe my mom would bake her, like, bake them like fudge or like seven layer cookie or something.

Well, just such such an easy giveaway gift. So Christmas, too. I know. Hey, yeah, you leave school and you have like, you have like stuff to feed the reindeer for Santa. Zip lock bag of reindeer food. What's in there? It's like Brown sugar

You get away with murder. You knew it, too. You knew it. You're like, nobody's even, nobody's, I'm not even on anybody's radar today.

And it's always kind of like, not a half day, but like, at some point they were just like, just leave. They didn't even care. There were no time. restraints. It was just like, if your grandparents want to take you, just go.

Like 12.30. Right. I think we're going to go to Culver. All right. Like they couldn't say no. My grand, but you're going to say no to my grand, they're about to die. They might be dying in, they might die in church. You're going to say no to me? It was always just such a whatever day for me. No pressure. My grandparents were never going. So I'd like be adopted by somebody else's family. King. And their, his grandparents would be my grandparents for the day. And I'd just like sit with him at church. His grandma would be like, you want some gum? I'd be like your family's so awesome. Oh yeah, dude. The adoption, the adoption that happened in the grandparents day. Yeah,

all of a sudden, yeah, your two best friends are there with your grandparents. Hey, your siblings can come aboard too. What the hell? Your younger sister. It's like, yeah, everybody goes and meets their grandparents. You just go to like the oldest class. So weird, dude. That is so weird to think about. So like, so your sisters would hang with you for the day? Yeah, my sister would like come with me. What a free day? Free ass day. Dude.

Yeah, so I'm like, like in your classroom? Yeah, I'm like, you're three years young. And we're not doing shit. We're just filling out this like history paper with our grandparents. Where were you when JFK got shot? What a day. Grandparents are in your classroom. Everything with all the class, all the class periods are shorter, the lunch period forever.

Eight, I swear one class. was eight minutes long. Eight minutes long. Teachers didn't care. And then like I said, you go to lunch. You just be at lunch with your grandparents. Forever. They're buying you everything.

An hour and 20 minutes. Did we have a special lunch? I can't remember that. But I vividly remember in like the fall of 09, the grandparents say, I think I left like 1130. I think my grandparents left and I'm just like, all right.

You're talking about like grade school, right? Yeah, I mean, like you had grade school, but then I'm thinking, you know, obviously the one in high school. High school, that was even crazier. That was like Super Bowl of Grandparents Day because like they're a little older. There's a million of them. Some like can't walk and stuff. I'm like, so we're doing nothing. Yeah.

I remember holding a door for two and a half hours. Yeah. But you could. That would be like a roll. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They'd be like, who signed up for door holding. And now you do that and that was just your day at school.

That's it. Yeah, my grandparents aren't here. I'm holding this door. Just fucking around. Sophomore setup crew. I'll tear down the chairs after. Yep. Always a half day.

Some crazy food. Leave early. Like, you know, it's always kind of fun because you see, like, you're like, what the fuck?

That's your grandpa? What? His grandpa's black? I didn't know. I see, I always had like both, like, all four of my grandparents would obviously,

come you know they were there yeah and so i have like i have to balance that those the downsides i have to like balance that relationship you know make sure that my dad's side is like oh my god you were playing that role yeah both the sets were there oh yeah oh that's kind of not a free day dude you got a full-time job it's still free because at the at the end of the day you're just like Yeah, so I'm just I'm just bullshitting with my grandparents making sure they're cool, but I'm not I'm not doing anything for school. Yeah. There's no tests. There's no quizzes.

You're not presenting anything in school. What kind of dickhead teacher would you have to be to put a quiz on grandparents day? Right. You would never even dare. Yeah, it was always just kind of like, why are we even doing this? Is this mandated by the state? Like, because any other circumstance, like principal and teacher pissed that anything like this is happening. But it's like we have to have the grandparents state.

to roll them on in here. Just fuck everything up. God. They'd be dressing so nice too. And you could like smell like grandma's perfume. Dude, the smell and the place on grandparents stay. You're like, who, okay. How legit was church that day too?

Big time. Yeah, you couldn't fuck up then. That was a real, like you had to really lock in. Taste and see. Yeah, just taking over the whole place. A lot more chairs. Oh, my God. Flowers.

Mm-hmm. Yep. Even the priest was like on it. Oh, yeah. See the girl you likes grandparents, you know, kind of use that as a leeway. Yeah, they look kind of good. They must have money. You know, you're taking all those things into consideration. Oh, my God.

Good talking point for later on, you know. I like your grandma's hat. Wow. Now, your grandpa was funny. It was. my grandpa of course saying the stupidest shit I always had to keep my grandpa like under wraps

you know like hey just train it in a little bit man what's he doing dude oh yeah your girl's kind of wild who knows what he was doing man saying shit to the teachers like you can do that saying shit that he shouldn't have probably to like a girl that's set next to us

you know like my grandpa don't no don't offer her a mint man just come on Let's just focus in here. Lock it in, Grandpa. He starts kind of laughing and shit because he doesn't care. You're like, all right.

it's just nothing. My dad's going to be the same damn way for Frank, man. And Mira. All right. This is kind of like, I just remember this day, it was just such a wash.

Never. happened. It only happened once for us. The day there was a tornado. It was just like, yo, are we going to be here forever? Like,

we can't leave. But you knew in the back of your head, like, nothing's going to happen out there. Yeah. And nothing ever really did. Maybe it hit a couple houses, but the families were safe.

Like, it knocked down a couple trees. But we were just chilling in a hallway, like kind of doing nothing for. ever. No, I'm talking 9.30 a.m. to the end of school. Hey, how soon did Chattow Farrow rip a loud fart?

That and just the whole scenario of like, you can't be loud, you have to be quiet, but everybody was kind of being funny. So like you have that like, mm-hmm. Kid in the grade above you, just in the corner. The first time you ever were introduced to that, game? Oh my God. Nothing's been funnier. I was like damn near paying my friends to do funny stuff just so we

could all laugh. Bro, bro, bro, say that real loud. Say that real loud. That was always me trying to like instigate people to do funny stuff. The nerdy girl taking it way too seriously. Getting mad. I'll never forget this. So like there's a big oh my God, the tornado, the tornado. No one knew it was happening. Bro, I think I've told you this before. I was buying. the hot girl and I was like oh I better like be cool like play it cool

like whatever I don't really care anymore like this is over school's over my hand was like this on the ground because we were all in the floor yeah you had to get into

the tornado position tornado position I was gonna do anything like we're always like moving around too so we were like I don't know we're always a difference

but my hand was on the floor and then someone opened the bathroom door and the door like crushed my finger like my door like or the door like slid up over it. It's like, oh. And it hurts so bad. My eyes started watering. And hot girl thought I was crying

because the tornado tore down my house. Oh. So she was like, are you okay? Did you play into that? I didn't know what to say. She was so convinced I was like sad because the tornado. I was just like, my finger just hit the door and she wasn't listening to me. So I was just like, all right. I'm sad because of the tornado. As if we would know if it was ripping out my house, we don't have any cell phone access here. Who the hell knows? And like I would care. But then she was like telling other people that I was crying because of the tornado. She's like telling my real friends like, he's crying because of the tornado. I was like, no, I'm not, bro. Like the door just wrecked my hand. It was such a crazy thing. I was like, what is happening? Now my friend's like I'm a bitch.

Yeah. Yeah. And then now from whenever any storm clouds show up, everybody just like, whoa. Is he, is he going to cry again? Storms rolling in. It's a good day, though. Yeah, that's... Good day to be a warrior. Tornado day. Even when he had to practice,

how many practice fire drills did we have? That was, that was, that was, well, I thought you were talking about practice after school. That was what I was more concerned about. I'm like, oh, we got this weather. Is practice going to be canceled? They never canceled. Well, at least be inside.

True. Whenever you had to do a football practice in the cafeteria, I was like, okay. Yeah, let's run seven on seven in this 15 foot space. Hey, we're going to run Skelly on the stage. On the stage. I'm like, shut up. Seven people can't even fit up there.

Hey, we're just going pro pads, helmet and shoulder pads. In the gym. Running routes. in the gym. I'm like, what are we even doing? Pro pads, tennis shoes. Scoop, sco. Well, at least you're inside. But then the coaches would be like even more on you. Oh, my God. That was the risk you took. It's like, well, this is either going to get canceled or they're going to be even more pissed off because we have to be inside.

That wouldn't let it go, man. That would get every ounce. But that's where it's like when you played baseball, then there would be times. They just have to like cancel it. Really? Like done. You don't have to make up the practice or anything? Yeah, the makeup of the practice felt like if it moved inside, you know, it would be like maybe we're doing like BP or like T drills and shit inside, you know. Or could be a problem conditioning. It's inside.

It's a fine line. It's a fine line. But there's always that hope that it's like, you know, the announces would come on and it's like, baseball has been canceled. Please report to the clubhouse. police report to the clubhouse There was a clubhouse in high school We had one

It was like the It was like They turned Where the concession stand And like the PA guy would do like the I think I remember that Yeah they turned that into like Where we'd have like lockers

He sends this. God. Nice. Basketball hunties. Shade just won, Back to Back to Rack MVP. Did he? Not a sports podcast.

He did? Yeah. Oh my God. Like least exciting MVP ever. I'm glad. It pisses me off because I hate that it took LeBron binging and moaning as much as he did when he played the thunder for apparently the rest of the world and the sports world and everybody online to pick up on the fact that the thunder are insufferable. Why is it so hard to watch that? We just experienced that last year.

Yeah. I'm like for seven games we're trying to show you guys what are you talking about? Where are you been? Why is it so hard to watch that? And then all of a sudden LeBron starts bitching a moment

and now everybody's like man, Thunder a pretty tough watch. McGatno shit! I didn't even know that was a thing. They're, I'm like, I can't watch this game.

Yeah, dang. Takes LeBron. Now everybody, even SportsCenter, even ESPN, Stephen A. Smith,

Nick Wright, everybody's coming out. You know, yeah, I mean, when you look at it, it's really not. fun. It's a tough watch.

Dude. Where were you at June 2025? Playing the Pacers and it's just like, man, SGA, it's just, it's tough to defend. It's tough to defend, man. I didn't even have that much invested, but if I heard the name Lou Dort one more time. I was like, that can't be a real name. It's ridiculous. Lou Dord and Alex Caruso.

can just absolutely shank you and mug you in the corner. Nothing. And then on the other end, you breathe on Lou door. Okay. My ass. I think, yeah, I'm not even going to talk about it. Yeah. Not sports podcast.

But I just had to get that off my chest. Oh, now the whole world knows. Yeah. Now everybody's against it. It's always really been whatever LeBron says goes, though. From Mitchell, romantic about lights. Hey, fellas, first time short time was driving past a baseball field lit up on a Saturday night.

Not sure why it brings me some adolescent childhood joy to see those lights similar to seeing the signs for an Arby's on the I-75 as the sun sets. Who's eating this? Anywho, do the boys have any other lights or logos that bring you back to a place in time? Oh, man. Not a nostalgia podcast. Scratch my back with a hacksaw. Sent from my PlayStation Vita.

and you pass someplace, it's Friday night. It's dusk. You get the lights. I'm starting to start hearing explosions in the sky. I was liked when it was like, 6 p.m. or like 5.30 p.m. on a Friday night and I was like too young to play high school football but I was in like fifth grade or something and I'd hear like the band from like a local high school at my house.

You hear like God dang. I'd be like oh they're about to play over there. You'd look up and you'd see the lights shining down. That's yeah dude. Whoa. Who's Greenwood playing at night. That's that's that's uh lights and sound like that's lights and sound. Also, you ever see a spotlight when you're a kid? Like you're driving in the car, like in your parents van or somebody's in the car and you see like, yeah, where's that coming from? Is Robert Denny Jr. in town? And I'd be like, where, like, why is there a spotlight? Yeah.

Dude, sometimes my dad would be like, let's find it. We'd go on a spotlight like goose chase and it'd be like some like place that was selling like garage doors. And why is this place that was spot? That's true. Yeah, you like, it was never anything you needed. wouldn't you ever like i i don't think i've ever seen a spotlight with my own eyes and action up close did one time for an event i see him far away bro it was such a it was such a crazy moment i saw a spotlight a what is actually what red carpet is rolling out yeah man it's always like a

You know, like the next day they come out and they're like, yeah, we've got a call. Really? Yeah, that happens sometimes. Like the two-minute report for the NBA?

Yeah, the NBA and refs and the NBA will come out and be like we missed on that. No, the league does. The refs don't. Oh. That's where it's like the two-minute report where they come under for the last two minutes and then they have to like say everything that they fucked up. Oh, dang, I didn't know that. Yeah.

Yeah. There's some pretty good names there, Matt. Let's go to Shane. It says Kevin Pitts-Noggle. You said, hey, fellas, long time, long time. Can't believe, oh, this is from a long time ago. So it feels like just yesterday, me and my buddies were at the Charleston Classic Tournament the week before Thanksgiving.

Every year we attend the Friday evening semi-final session. This season's games were decided by four total points at both. both games came down the last second shots. I guess you can say that both games were classic. Oh, geez, this guy. Come on. Anyway, I'm wondering if you did something when you're younger that surely wouldn't fly today, not a reminiscent pod. I'm not talking about something that would get you canceled.

I'm just saying something harmless, but you probably wouldn't be able to do it if it happened today. My junior year in high school, we only had eight boys in our high honors class, so the girls-to-boys ratio was pretty much three to one. One day we convinced our gym teachers to let us know boys versus girls in dodgeball, and needless to say, it went exactly as he thought it would. I remember the one game, the last girl did everything she could to get out, but we waited until all the boys had a dodge ball before going full White Goodman and the

global gym purple cobra's honor. Typically, the losing team would have to do push-ups after each game, but because we were so arrogant and in your face about it, the gym teachers made us do the push-ups. All in all was great fun. Our whole class got a laugh out of it afterwards. I just can't see something happening like that today. Curious to hear if anything comes to mind. As always, keep up the good work and would love to see you down in Charleston,

day p.s. Adam Schaefter and Mark Mike Florio need a kiss on the 50-yard line sent for my Motorola chirp. Motorola chirp dude we're starting to reach that point in the year where like I was at a pool today so you have like sunscreen and then like people grilling out and the smoke and so it's just like all my eyes sunscreen eyes and smoke eyes yeah so my left eyes just been like stinging constantly today it's all red I love the small sunscreen. Oh, it's so nice.

Yeah, I know what you're saying, though, Shane, I'm trying to think on the spot of something like that that would go down. All I can think about

is like stuff we used to do in football. Yeah. Like football punishments and like, I remember sometimes on JV, like we would, we would literally get like beat.

But the coach? Like players. It'd be like a player's, practice. Maybe like getting like whipped. It was crazy, bro. I wasn't at a lot of them.

But like I just hear something and be like, that happened at JV practice when the coaches weren't there. Bro, it's like a like crazy. I don't even know, man. Just self policing. Yeah.

Like why I wasn't at that practice? What happened? I was going to say, yeah, it's mostly, yeah. For me, like we talked about like even just like two a days.

But like that doesn't have. it anymore. Kind of boring. Doesn't it doesn't not happen? I don't know. I feel like it doesn't. I feel like I always see that it doesn't. I couldn't believe it.

I feel like we're like I had the last two a day of all time. Yeah. There was literally, it's where it was 90 degrees. Two praxis just, but it didn't matter. We just did it anyway. Yeah.

Offense of the morning, defense at night. It was kind of cool at night. Those deep ones of practice were kind of nice. That was. That was like the saving grace. Because the morning one, you'd be like,

well, at the very beginning, you feel like it's cooler out, but like that heat is coming. You can smell it. You can feel it on the turf. It's coming. It's there like 20 minutes

in the practice. Yeah. Yep. In the other end zone. Muggy. And then you finish and it's like, this is the hottest day of all time. Yeah.

But then, yeah, you go and you take you a, little break and you'd come back and you'd be like it's kind of fun to come back and see everybody again though nice little dust going on here yeah and like in the i don't know i was primarily offense so like i got my work like out of the way like i was kind of like nervous in the morning so we like installed some stuff and i was like yeah you really had to like and you had to play hard the whole but then defensive practice came around and i was like i'm not even really on this like i'm just like i'm kind of doing offensive stuff over here while the defense is on the field like that

kind of big star running back over here different set of rules it was a little weird I was like are you sure I don't like back pedal but then like something happened and we all had to like do yeah then I became a safety all of a sudden I was like well this doesn't make any sense either this took a turn yeah but it was always like a little cooler at night like I don't know people the coaches kind of didn't care as much at night because like cicadas started kicking him mm-hmm coach talks you have to practice for a while. Got the next day off. Maybe somebody's

you remember in your head like after sprints like your dad's on the grill tonight like it'll be kind of a good night. We got to wake. We got to do this all again at 7 a.m. But like I'm going to be chilling. I'm going to watch an NFL network dude. I'm watching a movie.

I want to fire up Shawshank Redemption. It's also, yeah, because it's all, it's all about like getting your fluids and getting rest. during two days. You kind of feel like a diva at home. And your parents are kind of on it too. Yeah, lay down. They let you be a diva.

Keep your feet up. Get off your feet. Salter foods. Elvate your food. Shut up. Elvate your feet. Coach Coons has added to us every day. Social foods.

True though. It's like, damn, I thought that we weren't supposed to do that. I'm not making it worse for us. Keeps the water in. I like the in between two days, too. a little bit. It was kind of like, you know,

we got another thing we got to do. But like right now, we can just take like the best nap we've ever taken. Yeah, but the thing about that was that, that was kind of like, in between two days,

it was kind of like 2.30 p.m. on Christmas. I know. It's like you're feeling good because it's, you know where you are and the first part's over. But at the same time,

the dread of like, you're going back. You got to go back. Yeah. So like, this is cool. And I'm, I'm chilling on the couch.

And I'm going to have a little nap here and cool off. But when I wake up, it's on. It's time. It's time on the water. Yep. It's time to start getting the mind right because you got to go back. Yeah. We aren't even allowed on the couches, dude.

I would just sleep on the floor. You weren't a couch family. Could have crash on the couch? Well, like my mom knew I just smelled like crap. Like no matter what, you're going to sweat. It was just so hot. And I feel like it lasted. I had the shower both times, though.

You couldn't not shower after the first go. I was just like, get off the couch, man. And I would always have like somebody over with joking. Some of them just like, no, just sleep on the ground. Like, it was just crazy, dude. Sleep on the ground? We would literally see. We play NCAA football and sleep on the ground.

Yeah. You start tapping out after like half time in the second game. We're like, we should probably just like lay here. Had some battles, though, dude. She probably just lay here. Kind of the fun, like, silver lining of two days. Like, we do get to like have a couple, like, like Minnesota against like Northern Illinois.

Yeah. Like Lawrence Moroni. Like, because that's all you're doing for two weeks. Yeah, that's what gets you through. Yeah. You don't have anything else that's consuming your mind.

You can't think about anything else. Because you're not like getting together with people. You don't go anywhere in between. It's like, yeah, I get something to eat. I get some fluids. And then like I'll,

yeah, I'll do NCAA or I was a movie. I just watched movies. Yeah. It's all I did. It wasn't bad either sometimes. They're on little rocky. to try to get you through the next one.

And the AC was blasted. Try to get you through the next practice. So many gate rides. All right. Team these guys at gmail.com. It's good place to wrap up here. Good place to finish. Finish on a strong new.
