Oh, yeah, nobody, nobody really cared or knew about it besides me and you and our dads and, like, Mike Chappell, not a local podcast.
But, Bruno.
Literally every year since I was honestly four years old, my dad, we're going to the combine B.
I'd be like, we're invited.
I know the guy at the door.
I'd be like, oh, my, it's like a drug deal.
Not bad for a fat guy.
What up, Clubhouse?
Benedict Polizzi. This is Joey Molanaro.
And on this week's, these guys,
we talk about how the 40-yard dash
combine coaches are real dad. We talk about
girls at Beer Olympics,
where Chris Hogan went to college,
in Plexico versus Mountpiece.
Let's start the ship.
These guys.
T, t-t-T-T-T-T-T-4.
I keep getting one ahead.
I don't know why I'm looking ahead.
He's looking ahead, folks.
Got to be who's in front of you?
Out the windshield, not the rear view, man.
Hindsight's 2020.
Yeah, 174, though.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey now.
No jersey.
This is kind of, you're like a little and oney right there.
What are you talking about?
Oh, you couldn't see.
I thought that you were just.
The blank?
One tour blank on the, on the, on the, on the, on the asphalt.
I would.
Chris crossing.
I don't know if I could.
I don't know if I could.
The Sincy, oh my, this is a, this is a grail for me.
Mm, the fat, the fat shoulders never looks good on a white guy.
But I was like, you know what, we're just going to do it.
We're just going to do it.
How come this only looks good on Alan Iverson?
Mm.
Yeah.
Fat shoulders, though, that makes me think of having a really baggy cutoff undershirt underneath it, though.
Travis Kelsey would do that
1 million percent.
Oh, like the mesh CYO jersey
with the wide cut underneath.
God, that looked good.
Stacked it.
Not a bad look.
Not a bad look.
I just didn't,
I couldn't pull off the nothing underneath look.
It just felt naked.
Kind of weed kid too.
Cold gym, sweaty armpits.
Ben's over.
You can see his nipples.
You're like, I didn't sign up for this.
Weird nipples.
Yeah, he has a big, he has that like indentation in the middle of his chest.
You're like, I didn't, I didn't know you had that.
You know, the first time your team goes skins, you're like, didn't know you looked like that.
Nipples always a little bit puffy.
I'm like, you have big nipples?
Jake?
You have big nipples like that?
That's so crazy.
It's such a weird moment.
First time you go shirts and skins.
I'm like, yo.
Okay, body.
Kind of self-conscious.
Yeah.
Oh, for sure.
Mm-hmm.
I'll never forget, dude.
My,
uh, let's see.
I would think,
not reminiscent of,
but I was in fifth grade.
And we had a Sunday night practice,
and I just remember it was like November,
probably just left watching,
like the Chiefs Broncos up 425,
for a Sunday night practice randomly all of a sudden.
Mm-hmm.
And I,
And I had to start off.
I was already like a little bit nervous.
I don't know.
You're like going through puberty and whatnot.
And I had to start in skins.
And I was already, my armpits were already so sweaty.
And Jack Andrews like walked by me and somehow his elbow like hit my underarm.
Not even my arm pit.
My underarm, dude.
And legitimately I saw him look back at me.
and wipe his elbow because my, my underarm was so sweaty.
Thank God he didn't say anything out loud, dude.
Sometimes you just got to respect that.
Like, hey, hey, don't, don't.
The girls' volleyball teams outside, don't, yeah.
Jack was one of the cool, was one of the cooler, cool, cooler,
older guys.
He was cool.
You would have said something for sure.
I don't know.
It depended on the day.
Depending on who you were trying to impress who was around.
you would have said something.
But then there were a lot of times
you'd have been like,
I got you.
It's all good.
Yeah.
But then,
you know,
you rub up against the wrong upper classman.
The fuck,
Sammy sweats?
Mm-hmm.
There's always the guy
in your basketball team
that's so sweaty in eighth grade.
Couldn't guard Drew,
actually.
Couldn't guard him.
Not because he had like,
banging post moves.
I'm like,
I'm just slipping off you,
dog.
Like,
I got no bar arm for your back.
Like,
I got no,
I got nothing.
I just got to do this.
Never been more, less helpful in the post.
Two hands up.
I'm like, that's all I can do right now.
Okay.
Just verticality, baby.
Just Roy, hip bit.
Roy hip bit.
Yeah, I was always real self-conscious when we had to take our shirts off.
And I was going through that point in puberty when just one of my nipples looked like it had a pencil eraser in it.
I was like, I don't know.
What's the deal with that?
Yeah, just one.
Why not?
Give me both.
That's what I was saying.
What's the deal with?
with the big nipples.
What's the deal with the swollen nipples?
Why does that happen?
I don't know.
Like, we don't talk about that enough, that part of puberty.
I'm like, the voice thing, yeah, that's obvious.
But I'm like, please don't touch my chest because you're going to be like, is there a magnet under your shirt?
The voice, the hair in different places, right?
Like the sweat, you kind of get the sweat a little bit.
That can check out.
It makes sense.
A lot going on.
The nipples, though?
Is that just one of those things?
I know you had a bit about that with God.
Like, is that just like some sick joke that he's just like,
ha ha ha ha.
Oh, and by the way, you're going to have fat, swollen nipples.
You're going to have a Lego man head and your right nipple for two years.
I was asking my mom.
I was like, yo.
And she's like, do I need to go to the doctor?
I don't know.
Didn't.
No, I didn't.
Nobody would give me an answer.
Nobody.
I was like, Jesus Christ, what do we got to do around here?
it is one of those it's one of those weird points in your life
or like you have so many questions but you don't want to ask anybody
anything even your parents you're like
definitely not asking my dad that like he hell no
it's so scary like what would he even respond with
like i don't even want to know you know i'm like you know you
like luckily i had an uncle that was like four years older in me i was like should i ask him
Like maybe he could relay?
I don't know.
Is Curtis Reeser?
Could he like level with me on this?
I don't know.
I was always the oldest.
Like I looked like this in seventh grade.
So I was like,
nobody's even touching my like,
my puberty level right now should be like,
you know what I mean?
Like I had armpit hair when I was in like fourth grade.
I was like this sucks, dude.
Yeah.
I feel like I'm a camp counselor or something.
I'm like,
I'm shaving my pits till I see some more armpit hair around here
until the coast is clear.
it must just be something about Italians or something
because I was the same way
yeah
sixth grade got a mustache what's up
yeah
I'll never forget the first day I shaved
before basketball practice in like fifth grade
or yeah yeah it was pro bowl weekend
we were practicing at St. Jude
I kind of like
feeling my little with my tongue
I was like whatever though
Trail Davis is playing tonight we're good
did you start did you start with the
just the electrical
or did you go full on?
No, I didn't have it on my cheeks
which is like a cool place to have facial hair
like in middle school
if you got like something like this
starting out here.
I just had it right here.
I just had like a goatee in seventh grade.
See, I think that's way cooler, dude.
I was like, I still like goat farm
just like patches everywhere.
Yeah, you know.
Try it in high school.
would be like sunny sideburns and what?
Come on.
I was,
I always wanted the sideburns, bro.
You already know.
The minute I could grow sideburns.
Do you feel like a man?
Right there.
No, but I stole my dad's Mach 3 turbo,
the one that vibrates.
Stole out of his like a bathroom bag or whatever,
travel bag.
Just hit it a couple times.
I might even hit it with a razor on the back.
You know,
there's one on the back,
just the single razor.
there. I was like, bang, bang, bang.
Yeah, JV style.
Oh, good.
Felt way more secure, not having
a mustache for sixth grade.
God, there's so many ways
where you go with this, but I don't,
I don't, I don't want to, I don't want to,
I don't want to go down that road for the clubhouse.
Yeah.
Not going to make it back for the combine, huh?
Oh, that's like now.
That's like, yeah.
O linemen are running right now.
That'd be a combine.
races are bouncing.
Yep.
Talk about the big nips, man.
Those things are popping.
Hey, same speed that I ran my 40 in high school.
Isn't that like kind of a relief?
When you see like the fastest lineman, you're like, well, I ran that when I was a sophomore.
So we're good.
We're still good.
We still got it.
No.
I feel the opposite.
I'm like, oh, they're making fun of how slow this guy is.
And also, he's three times my size.
and he's the same speed as I am.
But when the quarterbacks get to run in five twos,
I'm like, all right,
doesn't feel too bad.
You got a quarterback running a five two.
Guy's got a,
he's got to read defenses pretty quick.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
I don't like it when the DVs do anything.
When the DBs and receiver,
God, how bad I want to go through that gauntlet, though?
When there's throwing balls at you left and right,
it's that first one that gets me.
Then they go?
Yeah.
Yeah. See, I want to be the guy throwing it at them.
I think that would be fun.
That'd be great.
God, that's such a, yeah, that's such an art podcast thing to say.
I don't want to do the drill, actually.
You guys can have the drill.
I want to throw it.
The last guy, then they catch it and turn it up field.
I'm like, ew.
I wouldn't be the guy throwing at like halfway in between, you know,
so I can just throw it before their head is even turn.
turned around.
Yeah.
Hey, adjust.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then you need to be, you need to be coach Rocco, the get up field guy.
I love, I love that coach to the combine.
That's it.
Just get up field.
Foot in the ground, north south.
Every time.
Every time he's right there.
Yep.
Point.
I would, I honestly, I think that's, that is my destiny to be that coach.
Or like the, the reps guy during the bench.
God dang
The slaps right here
Oh my God
Put me in the game
I was close to their face
While they're benching
Dude I was close to being a combine
Coach guy
Destiny
Sometimes I think you miss it
Sometimes I think you do
Sometimes
You mean every day I wake up
This is so funny that
They got to like
You know
A coach has to travel
for that gig.
Just so many coffees, hotel, just up and at them.
You know, coaches, bro.
Scop!
Can you even imagine?
Them arriving to the facility?
Oh, we're done?
Like, his wife trying to schedule a weekend getaway
or something going on, make plans for them,
Combine Weekend.
Honey, oh my God, I forgot you have to go to Indianapolis
and tell people to get their foot in the group.
round for five days in a row.
You have to go there and tell him to get north-south.
Yeah, you have to tell him not to have false steps.
The 40 guy?
The 40 guy?
Hey, I'm like, this guy's got feedback for everybody.
Oh, is it the Steelers coach?
Oh, that's hard, bro.
That is so, I would want to get like his autograph more than any other player.
Hey, he was always, he was always wearing like the khaki Steelers hat right there on the chair right
next to him. You know it's an older guy
that doesn't look fast at all?
Oh, that's who I want to listen to.
Just the wisest 40
guy. Oh, my God.
That's something that you watch
every year when they're doing the 40 and you're like
kind of on the edge of your seat because you're waiting for them
to go and the slightest little
feel so bad for him sometimes. I'm like,
God, come on. And it's
so quiet in there and you can like hear
kind of what he's saying to him, you know?
Hey, so just going to take two deep breaths, hold it.
Two deep breaths, hold, and then go.
Fire off low.
Head up at the last second.
Last second.
Big strides.
Big strides.
Let's go.
I'm like, that is so calm.
I need that guy next to me when I'm about to fall asleep.
All right, here we go.
We're going to close our eyes.
We're going to put something over our head.
Hey, say your prayers if you don't.
Say your prayers.
I need that.
Yeah, dude.
You need the guy for everything.
I think his name's like,
I think he's name's like Mark Gorsuch
Not too sure
I think his name
Saw him walking into the eagle
A handful of years ago
During Combine Week
I was like
I pledge allegiance to him
Your wife's like
Really literally I like
That was the first thing
I was like
How would I even begin to explain to Riley
Who that is and why I care
And why he's so important
he's the guy that I've watched every third week in February since I was in fifth grade on NFL network.
You think he critiques everything?
You got to shake his hand.
He's like, now give me firm.
Give me elbow tucked.
Hold.
Hold for three.
Two.
Hold for three.
Shake and rough.
We're good.
Clean.
Every single thing.
Wow.
God,
I love that guy.
The thing I really want to do at the Combine, if I could,
would be to be one of those quarterbacks
that's gonna be like a fifth round pick
and just throw that bomb post route
to like the number one
Mel's best available receiver.
There it is.
And you know they like climb up the board a little bit from those.
Nobody knows who he is.
And then some number one receiver is catching a bomb from
like, wait, who threw that?
Yeah.
And sometimes don't they have like random QBs in there
that aren't even about to get drafted?
Aren't that like
I feel like that might be the case
Like is J.P. Lousman throwing him a ball right now?
Dude, can we talk about
The Combine gear for a second?
Well, you can talk about that for the next 15 episodes.
Kid me?
It is like the evolution.
I just need to find a nice,
I just need to find a nice middle ground.
I need him to find a nice middle ground
because you look back at the tape of like when Big Ben and Aaron Rogers and Marshaun Lynch
and that era when it was at the RCA dome still.
Yeah.
And it was kind of an underground event.
Oh, yeah.
Nobody really cared or knew about it besides me and you and our dads and like Mike Chappell,
not a local podcast.
But Bruno.
Literally every year since I was honestly four years old, my dad.
We're going to the combine B.
I'd be like, we're invited?
I know the guy at the door.
I'd be like, oh my.
It's like a drug deal to go to the combine.
I'm like, dude, I wanted to watch Thai streets run the 40s so bad.
Yeah, it happened.
That name.
Thai streets.
Come on, yo.
What should be a name on?
But can't be a normal guy with that name.
Oh, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
Not the equipment, the apparel.
I liked the style of that apparel to RCA a dome in like 0405.
I thought that was like, yeah, it fits like football workout.
You can tell, but like the colors.
A little too baggy.
What was it?
What was it?
It was like, it was just like Nike dry fit.
Like first era.
Yeah, but like it was real loose baggy shirt.
Real loose shorts.
That was the style dry fit.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, guitar pick NFL logo.
On one pack.
and like 17 on the other like your combine number or whatever oh yeah QB 17 you know whatever
it was the things I do for that yeah hey big Ben don't want your don't want your game worn in
jersey how about that QB 23 04 combine shirt but you did have got that in the closet real in
yeah oh my god hey weren't that at LA fitness about to do about to do four reps of 185
You in my face
You in my face
Yeah
Gellup
Get it
And you're wearing gloves too
You got an LA Fitness
wearing all the stuff
They were in the combine in 04
Cleats
What up?
Yeah yeah yeah
What's good
That's some of the best cleats though
I forget what they were called
They were the generation
Before the Nike vapors in 2010
Which is the best cleat ever
Speed D
3-4.
Was the one that Calvin Johnson wore?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm pretty sure.
Dude, my phone's recording, but I need you to look up Calvin Johnson.
Need you to look up Calvin Johnson and Combine 40.
Let me handle it.
Let me handle it.
Okay, okay.
I've been wanting to look this up my whole life.
This might be the sweet spot of the of the gear too, because it's fitting well.
Like it looks good on them.
But the colors are neutral.
Oh, oh, dude, I had those cleats.
Wait, was he 23 in the combine?
He was.
Oh, my God.
Those are, those were the hardest clites had ever came out.
Oh, God, they're beautiful, dude.
Just, man, you, if you saw a guy wearing those low cuts like that, you're like, he's running a 4-2.
He's the fastest player on the field.
I got to look up in there.
of these three.
Those are so money, dude.
My biggest regret in high school football is not getting the black and royal blue ones.
And, all right, what are you saying?
We're back.
We're back.
I was saying the way I probably should dress my full Michael Myers costume and mask
and just go to Lucas Oil this week and just stand to the top of the stairs.
Okay, we see a couple scouts.
Is that?
Hold on.
Who's?
Who?
okay, okay, we see.
Who are a couple coaches?
Who's a Rams coach?
Sean McVey here in Indianapolis.
Oh, and there he is Jim Harbaugh.
Oh, boy.
Wow, Shane Steichen.
Just walks out to his backyard, watches the 40,
and who is standing next to him?
Hey, you, Michael Myers mask,
literally a huge ass knife in your hand,
stop watch around your neck.
Butcher's knife.
Oh my God.
You should actually be chasing after the people running the 40.
We have a new feature this year.
Oh, my God.
For the O-Linman to pick it up a little bit.
You got a surprise guest, just you and Michael Myers costume.
Stop, big boys.
They'd still beat my ass.
By the third one, you're just cast.
Dude, but you could do it the way that actually, like the Michael Myers challenge
where I don't run,
but I just walk like Michael Myers
and they're like trying to get away from me.
You know?
At the end of the 40,
they have to stop and like unlock something kind of
like they're unlocking a door to get into the house.
Eisen.
Okay.
Let's see how they handle under pressure.
Oh, dude, or I could do it.
I could do it to Eisen because he does that run,
rich run thing.
running after Eisen
now we're talking
That would be so sick
Just you behind him
I love the idea of like Rich Eisen
In his like starting stance
In the blocks
And you're just behind him
Dude
The way that would be my profile picture
Until literally forever
After I died
It would still be that
You have another kid
All that
You know I mean
Should be your kid
Nope
Nope
you're not going to put our family picture as your profile pick
I only got one family baby
Faith family football right here
That's my annual favorite picture to take those on Halloween
Me and my full Michael Myers and the kids and whatever the hell else they're doing
They're like posing all cute for Halloween you're just on the porch behind them
Not even associated
Riley gets so bad let's take your picture
She's like trying not to bring it up
And you're like, hey, one more
One more pick
I got an idea
Like don't act like you forgot
Oh god
I secretly didn't know that was a tradition
But kind of did too
I think it hit me this year
I'm like oh he does that every year
Yeah
I'll start sneaking it in a little bit more and more
Kind of miss Halloween
Oh not a holiday podcast
Dude doing like like
dressing up his Santa
and then turning around
and just having the ghost face
bloody mad
you're doing a little dance
getting the kids all hyped up
boom
turn around
blood on you
oh my God
that's why I want kids
bro
just to scare the piss out of them
you get you get turned into
CPS because your whole entire
fatherhood is just doing nothing but
big
to scare the shit out of them.
Oh, God.
That's good.
Kids just paralyzed with fear.
Just all his life.
My dad is kind of a goofball.
No, what would happen, though, is that they would just grow up like that.
And so they would love that shit.
They wouldn't be afraid of anything.
But then, like, their friends would come over and they're like eight years old.
And they'd be like, check this out that my dad has.
Dad, do the thing.
I need to go do whatever that thing is.
And then that kid would.
that's the kid that would turn you in.
Always weirded out by those kids growing up that, like,
weren't scared of the scariest stuff.
I'm like,
dude,
you're not scared right now?
Cannot relate.
You're like at a haunted house of the kid and he's like,
bro.
And you're like,
okay.
Yeah,
he's like going,
he's like going trying to do umpire manager to the guy with the
chainsaw.
I'm like,
dude,
I'm not hanging out with,
I'm not hanging out with Luke anymore.
I am not.
No.
We know you stuck.
some swisher sweets in your draw string bag, okay?
It's all good.
We know.
Why does he smell like a, why does he smell like spring break?
Why does he smell like a grape cigarillo?
In seventh grade.
Why does he smell like a wine wood tip?
Crazy as shit.
Gunner Rivers committed to NC State.
Wow.
Philip Rivers kid.
Dude, from now on, I know you're not even kidding.
Those are the transitions into, it's just,
that's breaking news, dog.
Gunner, I mean, just.
Like he was going to go anywhere else too.
A QB, a kid that, his dad's a QB, his name's Gunner.
Okay, got the idea from Gunner Kiel, but it's okay.
Better quarterback name.
Gunner Rivers or just in case?
Just in case, bro.
The backup?
Come on.
Such a dad.
Dad, like, tall tale of a story.
Dude, I'll never forget when he told me that.
You know what his name was, B?
What?
Just in case.
I was like, could not wait to tell my friends.
B, dude.
It's so funny.
All right, let's get to Clubhouse here.
Team of these guys at Gmail.com.
Let's go to Spencer.
Old guys talking ball.
Fellows, longtime listener, second time emailer.
I was recently on a plane seated next to an older gentleman, probably pushing 70.
We were flying to Philly, so naturally we started talking about the Eagles.
He was talking about A.J. Brown and referred to him as a flanker.
I haven't heard that tournament so long.
What are some other dead giveways that signal that dude is old?
Here's some examples.
Calling receiver a flanker or split end, calling any non-grass surface astroturf.
referring to a corner route as a flag route
or a curl as a button hook
and a reverse as an end around
hates all the legs with a passion
anyways I appreciate the laughs
you guys bring us all at the clubhouse each week
smack my ass with a game worn
Ben Jarvis Green Ellis jersey
when he rushed for 136 yards against the Jets
in 2011
Spencer sent from my friend's family computer
that I somehow logged into
and probably crashed
from looking at porn
Yep
And or lime wire
You get on that weird profile
You know Windows computers
You used to have like three profiles on it
It'd be like your homies
Be like mom and their sister or something
You get on their sisters and just wreck that whole entire
He's like what the
I was always so jealous of those computers
I'm like wow you have your own like interface
My God
It was always like MSN
Or like SBC Global
that was my email
I was proud of that
nobody else had it though
I was like we're poor
never mind
I'm like
can I can I just get aOL.com
like can we do anything
the people that had a hot mail
I was like you're so
you're actually hot for that
hottest girls had at hotmail.com
I'd be like how'd you get that
okay rebel horse chick
73
at hot
hey what's your email
at BJP 020
at SBC global.com.
Oh.
Maybe like what?
I'm like, I don't know.
We just got D.S.L like last year.
Just chill.
The clubhouse
who's like 26 and younger
is like, okay, now they've lost me.
I was with them on the combine, but
SBC and DSL.
Bro said D.S.L.
He's talking about internet.
When DSL is around that, man.
DIC.
Crazy.
Okay.
Yeah, flanker, man.
Flanker cracks me up.
Yeah, he plays out there.
He plays slot back.
I was going to say you could say halfback, tailback, anything that's other than running back.
Tailback sounds cool, though, bro.
Sometimes when people say tailback, I'm like, oh, he's fast.
Tailback, you're like, he's number 28, and he's taking a lot of sweeps to the house.
Sweeps.
Exactly.
there's another one
it doesn't have to be about football i guess
hback's getting up there i know there's a million in baseball
yeah i'd say any any anytime that a guy
anytime the guy talking about baseball is like super hung up
about batting average nowadays
that's that's kind of a telltale
yeah that's more so like you said with analytics
like you bring up you bring up launch angle to any guy
Any guy who hates launch angle
What is that?
It's like the
fad, the
way now where everybody's swinging
up on the ball because they're trying to get
the launch angle off the bat to
try to hit home runs.
Trying to hit the power.
It's called what?
It's like the launch angle.
Okay, okay, okay.
Sorry, did you just say a launch angle or lunch angle?
Jimmy Johns?
I'm angled to get some beatups.
B-dubs would be there for two and a half hours
Not like that actually happened or anything
That dude is old
So there's some baseball ones, some football ones are big
Wingback
Dude honestly
Noseguard
Hey telling basketball
Telling any guy with any hide
Get down on the block
What are you doing hanging around up here?
Get down on the block.
I would say that.
I would a hell of say that.
The block.
What else do you call it?
Hates any dude.
No, it's not even about the block.
I'm saying that like they hate any,
they hate the idea of any guy with any height,
not being down low.
We're doing up there.
It's for a little guys.
Get down low.
Get down on the block.
It's like, dude, I was always tall.
They're all 6'10 and they all shoot three.
Come on.
I always got pigeonholing to be in every team center.
I was on.
I was like, dude, like, let me handle the rock a little bit.
Like, you know I can.
You saw me, but just because I'm tall, I got to like,
uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Come on.
Um.
Back to the basket.
What's some, like, real life stuff that you know a dude's old.
Not to do with sports.
Dude, old guys talking about their car never fails.
Yeah.
It was light blue, white leather interior.
And man, that thing was purring.
But I used to drive it to your moms.
I'm like, what the f?
No one like the make and model.
In the year.
Yeah, 73 Firebird.
I'm like, what the fuck?
Dude, like, tell me your car didn't have two stripes down the middle without telling me.
I'm like, why how come every car our like dad's had, our dad's first car had to be like a
Hot Wheels car.
I'm like,
you're so lame, dude.
He couldn't have been anything
but like a muscle car.
I'm like, bro,
get over it.
Hey,
saying a girl looks,
saying a girl or her outfit looks like a centerfold.
Telling you,
right there,
Coke bottle body.
Get out of here.
That was always a bit,
like,
I remember growing up.
We'd be at,
we'd be at like,
I don't know.
I don't know.
how it was for different communities in the clubhouse.
So way in, but where we grew up, I know, but like where we grew up, like, you know,
on like a Friday night or a Saturday night, let's say like the fall, like someone's family
would have a big, I don't know, harvest get together or like a Notre Dame watch party or
like after the high school football game on a Friday night, people would just be like, yeah,
we're going over to the.
And so everybody would go over there.
and the greens
go to the Gillums
okay
and I just remember
like the dads of course
so I would just be like
because the girls would never be there
they'd always be at some other chick's house
you know
or and it'd be a situation like that
and you'd be like on AIM
and you'd be in a room talking to them
or something and the dad would come in and be like
what you do?
Why don't you just get out and talk to them?
Oh my God.
You got to do this.
online stuff.
Why'd just go talk to him?
Four beers deep.
Hair slick to the side.
Any dad or guy who would say that.
And I was just like, dude, you didn't have any AIM back in the day, all right?
Like, what do you want me to do?
You want me to get on a bike and go over there?
This is it now, babe.
This is it now, Mr. Bauer.
Yeah, but then like the first thing, yeah, you know, you like try to make something.
What am I going to do?
Ask you if they can come over.
Like, that'll ever happen.
Yeah.
I got to sneak out to their house.
I'm working with what I got here.
This is the new wave.
Get on my bike.
Let me drop off some newspapers on the way to her house.
You guys doing all of this.
You just go talk to it.
When I was your age,
hey, we didn't care.
I'd steal my dad 72 for tourists.
And we would just go across the street
that bad boy and talk to him.
You were 12 and you legally drove a car.
There weren't rules back then, bro.
You were probably drunk too, right?
Yeah, okay.
That's when pilots smoked cigarettes in the cockpit of an airplane.
This is a little bit different time.
Good Lord.
You could literally smoke inside of an Applebee's.
Cigarettes.
anywhere.
So yeah, I'm going to let my big pimping soundboard pop up here when Carcy IMs me, okay?
Just I got my, I got it handled, all right.
So, sup, what you got, biotch.
W-Y-D-2-N, what-you-got-bi-y-ach.
Let's go to Michael.
Sportsicathlon.
My bad.
My bad.
Oh, no, go ahead.
Finish it up.
The thing we were talking about the other day on AIM, buddy icon, that little picture in the corner.
You, like, kind of didn't remember it.
We might have had different versions of AIM.
Because I think I had AIM like 3.0 and everybody else in the world had like AIM 15.0.
So I was like 12 versions behind, like just trying to make it.
I don't know.
You go to your homie's house
His AIM
His AIM's completely different
Than your setup
You're like, okay, whoops
The Galvanakis GIF,
everything's going across everywhere
How do I figure this out?
You got tabs on your AIM
You can talk to like three people at once
In one window?
Okay, Danny Allen
In your room?
AIM in your room?
Yeah, that's insane.
You get away with murder
in there.
Even I was like,
and this is dope,
but like,
your parents kind of messing up here a little bit.
How do they not know?
They trust you,
bro.
Like,
I didn't even think I like it,
but I don't think I agree with it,
you know.
Yeah,
yeah.
If it's in the basement,
then that's one thing,
you know,
basement or a lot of,
like,
okay.
Room?
But the room?
On a Tuesday
night and a TV in there.
Sports center and AIM. I'm like, are you
25? Yeah, guess you're in college.
Guess this is the best setup I've ever seen in my entire life.
Guess you're in college. What time's your first class
tomorrow, bro?
What semester is it in your house?
Dude, that's okay. I always knew. I always knew. It was always
the kids who had that set up
and I would be like, damn,
I know they're hitting up my girl right now.
I know they're hitting up my girl right now
on a Tuesday night.
Yes.
Because I'm sitting here just trying to like
have angels in the outfield dialed up on my VHS.
That's the only thing that I have available to me.
No cable or anything in my room.
Computer, yeah, right.
I know Johnny Slifka is hitting her up right now, bro.
It's always the kid with a broken home.
That's the computer.
in his room. Full high-speed internet.
Hasn't seen his dad months.
Got to do something.
All right, from Michael,
Genslow the podcast.
I was thinking of this.
One of here takes.
Field Day and School,
greatest day of the year?
What if there was an adult version of Field Day
where you could non-athlete division do a sports
decathlon versus your buddies?
50-yard dash, three-legged race,
kickball, home-run derby,
soccer penalty shootout, frisbee golf,
actual golf, three-point competition,
Max bench cornhole eating contest.
What would you put into it?
Thanks, boys.
Have great week.
Thanks, Michael.
That was for what?
I was still thinking about Johnny Slifka at the beginning of that.
He's talking about field day and how's the best day of the year in school.
I can't believe we all had it.
Like I would try to talk to different like of my friends about field day.
And I'd be like they didn't have that though.
Like we're the only ones that had field day, I thought.
But like everybody had that
We had one field day
I'll never forget
I still think about it
And we just
It was amazing
But competitions that I would have
In field day
I was cool
For adult version
For an adult version
Oh
That'd be tough
Yeah
I mean you gotta have
Some more drinking ones
It's pretty much
Field Day for adults
It's just beer Olympics
You ever do that
No I haven't done
Yeah
No, I haven't.
I haven't.
I haven't.
Neither.
Like, the amount of times I've been invited to a beer Olympics and just been like, yeah,
that just seems like a little too much for me, man.
You know?
Totally.
Case race this Saturday.
I'm like, sounds hype.
Like, the invite's always pretty lit, but I'm like, I just can't do it, man.
The second I hear beer Olympics, all I think about is me puking in someone's yard and people
yelling at me.
That's, that's all I think about.
And that's what's going to happen.
And to your point, it's not, I'm not like against it because I'm like, yeah, dude, if you get on a perfect day where it's like 64, 65, sunny March, you know, everybody's just like taking their clothes off, whatever, who cares?
Beer Olympics, you're outside, messed up table.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Sounds great.
But I just know that what's going to happen is I'm going to eventually let my team down and I'm going to be puking in the corner somewhere and stuff.
man
it always looks like it's on a great day
there's always a girl there
that you're like wow she went to that
so many
you know
I'm like what are girls doing there bro
like how are they helping the team
they're gonna have two beers maybe
taking pictures taking pictures
that's it
that's it
she was there
so many bro tanks
Caitlin was there
like a like a fence in the background
that's never painted right
you know it's just like real
Oh, yeah.
College house.
Never lost a beer Olympics.
USA.
Dude, the way I wanted to tweet our video from Fourth of July,
something with the gold medal over the weekend.
Oh, my God.
What was it?
What was it?
Our Fourth of July, the USA, grabbed me another.
Oh, shit.
Why didn't you?
I don't know.
I was like, I don't want, there's already too much just like.
Like the most recent one?
Yeah, there's so much shit going on.
I thought about that today and I was like,
yeah, that video was kind of good.
Yeah, so I just, I just steered
clear, but that just made me think of that.
Post it.
Yeah, there's got to be more drinking games, Michael.
Like, there's a day.
I like where you're going,
but if you did all this,
like if you did all of this
and you invited a bunch of people
and all your friends,
Everybody'd be like, where's the booze?
I know, it's sad.
You can't do anything without it.
Just what it is.
Yeah.
Eating contest may not be into that,
but the rest of the day wouldn't go well.
You get some people that would be really excited for like the first two.
And by the time you got to game four,
like girls would just be looking at their phone.
They try to be planning an exit.
What are we in?
You're anxious.
Right.
lot of that.
This is literally like it's just taking forever.
I don't know. Oh my God.
God, man.
And of course you,
of course you planned it, you know?
So like you're starting to get hot and then like your buddy who's real
anxious, you know, like he's running out of patience and like it's just.
Panicking.
Oh my God.
The girls aren't having a good time.
Didn't see this coming.
I'm like,
just hang in there.
like please for the love of God
do you have to voice every complaint
my lord
yeah because you're like
you're the one it's always just like we don't ever
do anything like fun
why don't we ever do anything like fun
looking at everything online
of every example anybody does like
oh my god we should that looks so fun
and then you try to do something
literally what
is it just like
I'm just like I'm overstimulated
it like smells like shit yeah
yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
I have like social anxiety.
Oh my God.
Can't do anything around here.
Oh, there's people.
God forbid.
You didn't see that.
You didn't think there were going to be people here.
Too many people for you?
Jesus Christ.
Suck it up.
Are we getting a policy minute here?
Start the clock.
No, I'm just getting.
Oh, shit.
No, but I know there's more like five people.
So, you know, a girl brings her friend that is somehow not as connected to the group and then she's pissed at that friend's there.
Just, she's crying.
Why even try?
Just, it's just, sorry, Michael to poo-poo the idea.
But, I mean, we've just seen it too many times, man.
You see it too many times.
My friend's like crying.
Oh my lord.
About what?
It's like not about this.
Not the time to cry.
But you're like,
she's kind of baking it about this.
Yeah.
We're literally,
she's my partner for this game.
Like,
she can't play,
okay,
you're going to have to,
babe,
you're going to wipe the tears
and play dizzy bat,
all right?
Can't win this damn competition by myself.
From,
from Brian.
Plexigal Berris
Plexigal Burris's mouthpiece
Oh yeah, dude
Oh my God, I've been waiting for this
I saw this email
It took everything for me not to read this
Hey guys, long time first time
Love the show growing up Steelers fan
Am I the only one that noticed
A Plaquesco Berris had his mouthpiece
somehow attached to his chin strap
hanging straight down
instead of looped around his face mask
That was a cool thing ever that never caught on
way cooler than McNabb
leaving one chin strap unbuckled
or Camara's turf tape.
You know, I'd agree with that.
Made me wonder if you guys think of any other cool equipment
or gear alterations that somebody rocked
but never caught on.
Slop my ass with Cordell Stewart,
Jersey from the Steelers helmet jersey pants box set
I got from Christmas while I put
a thousand yards of offense on rookie mode
versus NFL Europe teams on Mad No3.
Sent for my Samsung Galaxy
and he's got that up.
He's got it attached, baby.
Oh, God.
Plax and the Blacks and the Blachs.
black and gold, man.
Just talk to me.
I loved that.
He was the coolest looking receiver ever.
Just the single bar helmet.
Yeah, pure wide out.
Wide out.
There's another old one.
Oh, you're like, dude, you don't even, he almost didn't even need to wear a helmet
because I was like, you're either catching a bomb or house in it.
Or you're like, there's no in between.
Plexgo Burris, like, running an open field.
It's like a beautiful.
It's like watching a stallion run and like on a farm.
Yeah.
Oh my God, he's gone.
Everybody thought, I thought Martavis Bryant was going to be like the second coming of Plexgo Burris for sure.
I thought he was going to be a second coming of Randy Moss.
God, I know.
I didn't want to think like too highly of him, though.
So I knocked him down to Plexgo Burris level.
I know you got 10 of these.
Thanks for the email, Brian.
Glad to have you.
Hold on.
God, dang.
And I ate the sour gummy.
Yeah.
Plexico Burris so Michigan State.
God, that looks so good, man.
A little overcast, the lights on the helmet.
Like, that's just so Steelers football right there.
Mm-hmm.
Football.
God, the great.
Those unies, too.
Hey, what number was Plexcoa Burs at Michigan State?
I know.
I know Detroit Clubhouse is screaming right now.
Ooh, that is a good one.
Maybe four?
Four.
I feel like maybe like 17.
Four.
No way.
Yeah.
I was going to say maybe he went to 17 with New York because he was 17 in college.
But wow, dude, a four Michigan State.
Those Michigan State uniforms with the crazy designs on the shoulder.
Oh, God.
Yeah, yeah.
The new ones are insane.
When he was there, oh, he looked better at Michigan State.
Dude, that's the one that had like kind of the small M, the big S and the smaller U.
Like, one of their alternate logos.
am I mixing that up?
From back in the day, Michigan State
always just had Michigan State across their chest
like big font
Super Michigan State font
But he had the like three bar
Like dude when tall like slender
athletic basketball player receivers
Had the Randy Moss face mask
You know there's something so hard about that
Yeah
I'm like you got no business having like a strong safety face mask
But that goes so hard
Um
Plax, Burris, Michigan State, Jersey.
Number four, that would be insane.
That's one of those right there.
We ever do with these guys live in Michigan, that's what I'm getting.
You'll go big blue.
I'll go, go green.
That is cold.
God, Michigan State's just the coolest school that can just never really do it.
I love them.
Always.
It's every picture of a Michigan State game, just overcast.
But okay.
Plexgo Burris, yeah, I always thought about that mouthpiece too.
I was like, is no one going to talk about that?
I think we've talked about it before that he just put it in his chin strap.
So weird.
Dangled so low, man.
It was always dangling around.
Nobody else did it.
Just always wondered why.
The Alvin Camara turf tape is, I don't know, man.
That's kind of a legendary iconic statement.
because dude he had everybody
he had eighth graders
he had everybody putting tape
all the way up here
from their dealt to their wrist
it looks so sick
still
um what else
Cory Dylan cut off gloves on his fingers
that was pretty cool that no one did that
I feel like not as many people caught on with the
or maybe it's just out of respect
like people not as many people
did the Sean Taylor
tape around the face mask everywhere.
I feel like that's something that, you know,
unfortunately, if he wouldn't have passed,
I feel like people just would have done that like crazy.
But because he did,
I feel people are kind of like,
you can't touch,
like that's Sean Taylor's.
You can't touch that.
Yeah.
I saw a couple dudes do it out of football camp I went to
and it was the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life.
Like, I'm like, I don't know.
I just can't rock that.
Like, I'm going to get made fun of so bad.
Oh, for sure.
But at like a summer
football camp like whatever
you know yeah it was a black face mask
black helmet with white tape
visor I was like
dog that is cold
but I think you couldn't do it in games because people
were getting in trouble for it
like refs are all over that
hey not a local podcast
Aaron Evans double Nike's double Nike socks
big time
big time aura right there
I did
did it because Aaron did it.
Had to.
I thought about the other day.
I was like, if I would play varsity basketball, would I have done that?
I had to.
That was like, my parents were like, you need this many Nike elite socks.
I got to wear four a game.
And we're two and two.
Have the swooshes flying underneath each other.
Yeah, flip it inside out.
Hmm.
High school drip, dude.
I'm trying to think of another, another little secret swag moment.
Tyron Matthew
doing the
short
undershirt
wristband
wristband
wristband
wristband
and then
what's his name
the strong
the safety
for the
he was
he played for the jets
and he was nasty
he went to LSU
all the LSU
no no
no
him too
but
Jamal Adams
crazy arm bands
Adams had that shit on.
God dang.
When he played for the Jets,
bro, his Instagram,
I used to go to that and just be like,
the all white jets with all the white band.
Oh,
it was so cool.
33.
Oh.
Hey.
Oh my God.
Guy, it's not afraid to come downhill and clean stuff up in the box.
Hey,
his,
I'll never read his draft report either.
He was projected to be like a day.
The eighth pick and the draft and the Jets were picking.
I forget where he got picked, honestly,
but the Jets were picking like three, three.
And they're like, hey, we know all the projections are saying you're like late first
round, whatever, not top 10, but we want you.
And they just grabbed them at three.
I'm like, that has to feel so good.
A safety at three.
That's a linebacker.
When the Seahawks moved him to linebacker, I'm like, yo, is that the smartest thing I've
ever heard of in my entire life?
but also that it was kind of like
I don't know
I might start to
this might be the end here
yeah yeah yeah
like guy gets
guy's not as fast as you used to be
just move them down a level
like that's what we're doing
yeah seeing that with Jalen Ramsey right now
brought in to defend Jamar Chase
ends up being a box safety by the end of the year
okay
next year outside linebacker
next year a new Patrick Queen
what
that left me just with a big
good
Okay
Not the cohort we thought he would be
Yeah
Calling people on teams
Coorts
Got a couple new cohorts
In the offseason
I don't even play for him
Yeah
But he's my cohort
It's from Tom
Says Bears
Zedrus
Peterson
From Tom Zivikowski at
SBCglovel.com
Go ahead
No he did
know his would be like Zibi 0909.
Zibby Fight Club 09, yeah.
First time emailer here with Purdue IU the other day, I was thinking, Purdue is NFC and IU is AFC.
IU is Western Conference.
Purdue is Eastern.
Purdue is American League.
I use National League.
Tom.
Sent from my Xbox 360 Connect.
He said IU is AFC?
Yeah.
Yeah, they are.
Hey, not a local podcast, Tom, but I think you just nailed it right there, my man.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
I wouldn't mind that NFC, AFC, every single week from somebody.
Just I could do it forever.
It's a language.
Somebody or us, I mean, it, sometimes I'll go back to that post that we had.
Like, people are still, and, like, I'll just see, like, three new ones.
I'm like, how do people come up with these?
I watch it three times today.
Unbelievable.
Interesting on the IU Western Conference, Purdue, Eastern.
Yeah.
Because in my mind, I don't know why, but Purdue's kind of given me like Minnesota Timberwolves, and they're randomly Western.
Nah, for sure.
If you're NFC, you're automatically Western Conference.
There's not a lot of crossovers.
Yeah, yeah.
Maybe not any.
Yeah, because I'd say that's fair.
Like Alabama is NFC.
Ohio State is AFC
Ohio State also Eastern Conference
Alabama
Alabama's like the Spurge
Weirdly Western Conference
Yeah
Yeah this is
I think Purdue American League
IU National League is like
That's essentially like cup socks
God I see I don't know about that
life
That makes a lot of sense
Appreciate you waiting in there Tom
Thanks you email back anytime
I feel like I've been waiting years for you to say that
Waying in, shut up
Don't, but don't, but don't, but don't ever shut up
This is from Andy
Deshawn Jackson's punt return against Tennessee
God
Hey guys, as an Indiana native living in New York City
Working on Youth Sports, last year's Nick's Paster
Series was two weeks of stress,
also jubilation.
Even though I'm 30,
getting shit talk from teenagers I work with
unlocked a part of me
that felt like I was in middle school again.
My question is,
do you actually hate your least favorite team
or do you just hate that one obnoxious kid
in your middle school that cheered for them?
Thanks for the weekly laughs.
I still think your coach burns at the beach.
We did not come here for a vacation video
every time I'm coaching my swim team.
Is there?
Wow, first it to herd sign off there.
That's nice.
Dude.
That's...
you got you would win that dude you're you have the best thank you it means honestly the world to
mean that you said that's so funny that's such a good point jubilation now about that's
jubilation station uh that's our booth at the super bowl next year it's just called jubilation
station.
It's like made out of a poster.
Like I made the poster board.
It's just on a like a foldout table.
Everybody else has this like official backdrop.
Just as jubilation now about this on the posterboard.
Just two guys with mics.
Bro, bro!
Just calling people in.
A.O!
Straight hand!
Just whoever walks by.
That's it.
I'll get to work on it right now.
Got to do it.
In L.A.
It's in L.A.
See you there.
see you there but you'll be getting a hair transfusion or something
or your knee cut off
yep
sorry bad timing see you next year
oh man
do you actually hate your leased hair team
that's a very good question and it's a very
I do think about that sometimes
because as Clubhouse knows
and as Ben knows
the Moulinard comes out of me
And when it comes to my teams and the teams that I don't like.
And I question that sometime.
And even my wife will be like, she'll be like, what is wrong with you?
And I think it's a little bit of both.
I think it's, I think it all comes together for a perfect recipe.
Right?
Like, here comes counter.
Come on, come on.
No, no, get it.
And you know, you already know how to sign it off.
Come on, do it, do it, please.
It's the perfect recipe.
To make a good cake, you have to have flour, butter, water, egg, sugar.
Just like to make a good rivalry, you don't like the team, you don't like the coach,
you don't like the city, it doesn't jive, you couldn't live there, you couldn't make it there.
Oh, and by the way, the icing on the cake, that kid down the corner, who you can't stand anyway, sorry.
God, that was so beautiful, man.
I love what he gets going with the fingers.
It's the cake.
It's the icing.
It's the flour.
That made me hungry.
So good.
It made me hungry.
Yeah, yeah.
But it all comes together.
It's like,
it can't just be like if you just don't like a team
because there's some people in the fandom
that you think are annoying or can't stand.
And like it does,
it's got to fully be like,
you know, Indiana, New York, you know, you're an Indiana kid, you automatically, you're F New York and they're F, Indiana, you small town, blah, blah, blah.
Then it's like Brunson's annoying and he hits everything and he flops everywhere and Cat is annoying. And then you have all their fans like Ben Stiller and all the media who just goes.
It all comes together where you're just like, wow, I hate them. Yeah.
You know, and then like there's different levels where it's like Steelers Browns, right? Obviously, traditionally, Steelers, absolutely.
run that rivalry.
Like historically
dominant fashion
they run it.
The Browns have
their few blips.
But then you have,
you know,
the people on Twitter
that you're like,
God,
you are just the annoying part.
Like,
I don't really care about the Browns.
It's you that drives me nuts.
So there's varying levels to it,
but it's a good point brought up by you.
It really is.
Right about the people who like the team
that you also hate.
I'm like,
I didn't really mind Notre Dame,
but until like everybody was so annoying about them,
I was like,
I hate this.
Damn, dog.
Yeah.
Damn.
Yeah.
Always crying, complain.
I'm like, what about if they're just not good enough?
How about that?
Do you ever consider that?
Oh, my gosh.
Every weekend, dude, I used to love when Notre Dame lost because I didn't care and
everybody else cared so much.
I was like, hmm.
I remember your tweets.
Oh, yeah.
I used to.
I remember the early tweets, man.
I do.
Imagine being Notre Dame and losing an eye.
Ireland, like saying shit like that.
Notre Dame and Tim Tebow.
Those are no-goes for Politi.
Except for I'm in love with one of them.
Now.
Something else.
Oh, good, good.
No, you're good. Do you have one more?
Or do you have more?
Nah, it's all good.
I agree.
I didn't know.
Was he talking about the Sean Jackson's, like the cow?
He's probably talking about the cow punt.
turn against Tennessee.
That's what I thought.
Yeah.
Wait, wait.
He didn't do it.
Yeah.
Oh, in college, yeah.
Deshawn Jackson had a partner turn against everybody in college.
That one against Oregon.
That's when Cal was wearing.
I'm pretty sure he was wearing.
I'm pretty sure he was wearing it.
Jet TD3.
I'm pretty sure he was wearing those.
Mm-hmm.
Cal was Nike.
Everything was right in the world.
Jet T-C.
T-Ds.
T-C band.
So many T.
Sean Jackson
TC bands on the elbows
for some reason
his visor looked like
it was a mirror visor
I'm like
is that just like
the sun shining
in California
how does he have that
has the fastest
best
that most athletic player
have a chrome visor
all of a sudden
he was cold
that's been in Cal
yeah they had like
they would wear
the gold jerseys
navy bottom
Navy
classic helmet
with the cow
The cow script
Glossy
Glossy
Yup they were pulling off
Those side panels
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
He was on the cover
NCA football
That one year
I was like
It's kind of one
He's the most number one guy
Ever
You're kind of like
You're kind of like
Is this West Virginia
Or a cow
What the hell is this
But they both worked
They did
Yeah
You're like
Somehow I can tell the difference
Same uniforms, same color scheme.
Same like guys kind of.
Like they're all just track guys
that played one year high school football.
Like Jesus.
Those are the days.
Let's go to Tony.
Dripping or tripping.
Seahawks Uniform Edition.
Which version of the Seahawks uniform is the best?
And how has one brand had 19 different shades of green
in their color palette over the years?
P.S. Benny, can you look for my AirPods again? Because yes, this is from your sister, Tony.
Probably the ones I have in my ears right now. Whoops. I stole them. Didn't tell you.
Dude, did they ever tell you about when my dad lost his AirPods at Heinzfield?
Kind of a lit place to lose AirPods. Oh, yeah. I just left him behind at Heinz Field.
It was like...
82 yeah it was uh when the like when every team had to have their training camp at their stadium because of
COVID so it wasn't the COVID year but it's the year after when we were coming out of it but still you
kind of like go to your different places that you have training camp and so they had to have it at
Heinz at the time and we all went out there for it of course because I think it was like free admission
so we're like yeah yeah and uh
Popps is, you know,
taking calls from the stadium
because it's a weekday
so he's still got to do a little work
and then all of a sudden
like we're walking out.
Hold on.
I think,
I don't, wait.
Do you have my...
Why would I have your iPod?
Why would have your iPods?
Checks a location on them.
Location out about this.
Just section 113.
Heinz.
Did he go back and get him?
Nope.
I can't. I don't think he had to find him.
I can't remember exactly.
He'll text me about this today at 9 a.m. after listening.
Jerome Bettis is just wearing him right now.
Can't find him.
Oh, well.
Jerome Bettis is somewhere driving a school bus with his AirPods in.
Makes sense to me.
I literally think Jerome Bettis wakes up and drives a school bus every day.
I'm like, has to.
You can't really be that upset about it.
That was the case.
That was the case.
My dad, he would tell everybody that.
He'd be happier that that was happening than him having his AirPods.
I'd be trying to lose AirPods.
Hey, yo.
Who knows if Heinz Ward's going to pick up my AirPods?
Let me leave them here.
He's leaving AirPods in every stadium.
My son has already started to ask like, oh, because we were watching.
God dang it.
Yeah, we have the tradition that every Super Bowl Sunday in the morning,
we watch the Steelers American Games on a marathon.
And so we were watching the 05 team.
And I was telling him about who all these people wear.
I was like, look at this guy.
He'll love this guy.
He's the, they called him the bus.
And of course, I mean, this kid, I mean, we were in the prime.
I watched an episode of the Mandalorian with him today.
It's like a 27 minute long episode.
Pretty sure he had 68 questions in the 27 minutes.
And you couldn't wait to answer him.
Just like everything, this kid, his mind just.
And so, of course, why did they call him to bus, daddy?
Why is he called the bus?
And I'm going to tell him that from now.
I'm going to be like, yeah, he wakes up every day and he drives a school bus to practice.
Could you imagine?
You're getting on the school bus for a field trip, Jerome Bettis is a bus.
Hey, that NFL world, we're just living in it.
Get in, babe.
Time for school.
God, dang it.
He was so fun to watch a Monday night.
Oh, yeah, dude, those primetime games, bus was going off.
Jerome Bettis trucking people.
Crowd going crazy.
I was like, this is it.
He'd have, like, one truck run, but then he'd score like three touchdowns,
and it end up with like 28 yards rushing.
Good enough for me.
My friends would be dogging me at school.
He only had like 28 yards.
I'm like, he scored three times.
He doesn't even need to do all that.
Yeah, exactly.
It seemed like he was going to play forever too.
I'm like, how's he still fast?
He had some quick feet.
Kidding me?
Number six at Notre Dame.
How?
Him number six?
Sorry.
I'm not trying to tackle that.
Not a sports podcast, but yeah.
Tony wants to know about the Seahawks uniforms.
They dripping or tripping now or 1984?
I'm going to be completely honest here.
They've always been dripping.
Even like the new ones, I'm like Nike kind of went off with those.
And they're like legendary, like iconic Super Bowl.
One two Super Bowls in them.
Yep.
The gray pants, Navy jerseys, Navy helmets?
Percy Harvin in those?
I'm a big fan personally of the gray pants, white jersey.
That too.
Navy helmet.
Yeah, triple mismatch.
God, the Seahawks gray looks good for some reason.
Long navy socks.
I like it when they even wear the highlighter green.
I'm like, that's their color.
They're not just like doing this.
Like that like imagine if you're a kid in Seattle and the Seahawks busted those out.
You'd be like, oh, yeah, dude.
That's first on the Christmas list.
Probably multiple.
Lime green?
Oh, God, dude.
That's like, you're hoping Santa leaves one out for you.
And then also you're hoping that like this is all asked for us and you open up another box.
It's another one.
You know.
Yeah.
Dang. But even though
back in the day, like the rookie year
Sean Alexander Seahawks,
those are cold too. I mean, you can't
just the colors and the basic
like template.
Are you talking like the throwback
throwback now like two versions ago with
like the silver, the chrome silver dome
Mm-hmm. Sparkled on.
Oh, those are unbelievable.
But Sean Springs.
We're nostalgic enough now to where like
you go back to like the loaf of the
Toot Matt Hasselback, you know? Like that
Oh, the in between.
I like those too, bro.
They've always been dripping.
It fit.
It just fit.
Because if they would have done,
they couldn't do what they're doing now in 2005.
It just wasn't, you know,
and there was too close removed from what they did in the 80s and the 90s.
So that fit for that 2003 to 2012 era.
Sean Alexander on Madden, that era.
Those were cold
Nobody gave those any credit
They're way ones
When the shoulders were still navy
When Matt has went through the
Picked owl hairs
We're gonna take the ball
We're gonna score
Oh in the snow
I was like
Yeah those jerseys were so cold
I thought dang
It just fit super well for that time
Because I think
I might have dreamt this
But I swear I got the Seahawks
Used to be AFC didn't they?
And then they made the switch to NFC
So they're like we got to make our jersey
Our vibe NFC
Which makes sense with our AFC NFC
They went like dark mode
They had good defense
Big running back
All that
That is so interesting
Yeah because even when they wear those throwbacks
Now the original ones
Which are beautiful
You're kind of like
If they play the Broncos
And those you're like
This is an AFC West matchup
What's too much fun
Jersey are too much fun
Too bright
a Jerry Rice
2005 Seahawks jersey
It looks like Jerry Rice out there
I yeah
The way I searched and searched
When you sent me that before the Super Bowl
I was like
That's it
I gotta do that one
I gotta do that one
I know
The way I searched and searched
And I think the only one that I found
Was legitimately like $1,500
Autographed
I looked too
I was like
I don't know about that man
he was kind of nice on the Seahawks for like four plays a game.
Dude, Jerry Rice at 43, put him on my team right now.
Skinny post.
Cornerow started here.
I could just get open.
Talk to me, talk to me, baby.
Was he number 80 or is he number like 17 weirdly?
No, it was 80.
Yeah.
You can't.
That's crazy if they would have given him a different number.
Hey, what number do you want?
You've been in the Hall of Fame for 40 years, but what number do you want?
Jerry Rice's helmet on the Raiders, his face mask?
Mm-hmm.
So, like, so early 2000s.
So 91.
Yeah, didn't even have the double bars up here, just had one.
You love those receivers, though, you know?
On some David Patton swag.
How good was he, bro?
Dude, David Patton, the Patriots just had that run where they just had like three receivers that all were the same guy.
They still do.
Dionne Branch, Troy Brown, David Patton.
Same guy.
Same exact guy.
Bro, I mean, what do you do?
Three of those guys walk into the room without their jerseys on?
I'm like, 15 years later, they're just fully just go, Dania Madola, Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan.
White guys.
Wes Welker.
What this is a
Are you guys are cloning and swapping names
Like what is happening
God dang man
Same exact guy all of them
Amandola Edelman
I'd always just be like
Which one's which
Geez
Both went to
Well no you think they both went to Mac schools
Where Danny Amadola go
Texas Tech
Nah
Yeah
You know
You know
Yeah
And now we've reached a part of the show where we just name guys for six hours and why they went to school.
And so probably about time to sign off.
Where'd Chris Hogan go?
That's a crazy one.
Come on.
Oh, wow.
Don't say it.
Wow, this is really going to drive me nuts.
Didn't you go to Penn State?
Dude, I was, I think, but now I don't know.
Because he like played lacrosse only.
That's how I can't find a picture of him in college playing football
I'm like yo
What was going on?
Yeah dog he went to Penn State and he played lacrosse
That's so great
He didn't play a snap of football in college
Hey you know what you'd be great
Wait a wait a second
Did he go to like Massachusetts University or something
I don't want to do this is
Hold on
Terrible radio here
Three years of college at Penn State
He went to Monmouth for football Jesus
Clubhouse
is yelling at me, God.
That's a crazy one, though.
Like, if you got ass to add on the street and you nail it with Monmouth,
who, that's going into the vault.
That's going into the vault for sure.
All right, good deal.
