Because, like, you almost know. What up, Clubhouse is Benny Politsy and Joey Molinaro on this week's These guys. Do we talk about Disney World being the best place you've ever gone in your entire life?

No, no, no, no. Do we talk about having twins and naming them Greenie and Golick? Absolutely not. Do we talk about playing video games at your grandma's house on Christmas? No. Oh, my God. and do we talk about when your sisters didn't approve of your girlfriend? No, because that's never happened in our entire lives.

Let's start the show. T to T, T, T, T, G, 189. 189 and we're feeling fine. Okay. Actually, just kidding. Back from Florida, and you were right. Made it worse. So, um, oh, okay.

Hey, Jeff, Saturday. Yeah. Yeah, you can say that. One 800 better help. Two guys that just can't get it together. Hey, two guys that have been sad for a month. I did that thing, though, where you get back from vacation, I already start vacation, station, not about back from vacation. No, but not about that. Started doing the thing. You get back. And then.

you already start looking and planning for the next one. What's the next one? You're actually, I think you have like a condition with that, bro. You're always, dude, you always got something like cooking for them. I'm like,

damn, I didn't even know that was coming up. What's up? What's the next thing? You have to, you have to, man. Yeah,

I have to. KMS, a clock. Yep. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Next thing, probably Disney.

Just thinking about it in the car on the way home from San Diego yesterday. Really need to, really want to go to, Disney world again. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. But it's all, it's for all the things that it shouldn't be for.

I'm like, I just want to drink coffee all day at a place outside. Like, why is that all I want to do? People watch. Walk around. What's the coffee shop?

Joffreys, bro. Jof-ree. I'm like, why is it called that? Nobody knows. Everybody's in a good mood. Yeah, I'm going to eat a cookie here.

Yeah, I'll eat something there. You're the weirdest mix of food, too, because you go to that, like, weird, what is it, yeah, what is it called? All the countries. Oh, Epcot.

Yeah, Epcot. Oh, that's the best. It's just eating the most. It is. Get a little flavor of everything. I'm not, I just hate being this, like, this cliche, but it was honestly like one of the best days of my life. That's what talking about.

I know. I was like, I mean, what am I ever doing this shit, you know? cured a little sadness cured a month long sadness scheduled that vacate to the happiest place on earth yeah I'm like all right let's get to France real quick

all right oh where are we now oh we're in China wow that was so crazy to do that well they get you because you don't it's not

it's actually more recommended that you don't go into one of their places and get like a full meal it's highly recommended and it's all right there in the walking path to you just walk up

you'd be like oh yeah I'll take two churros and a margarita. That'll be good. Right? Go right down the street to Italy. Yeah.

Bread stick and a slice. Yeah. Maybe a peroni. Oh, no. Red wine. Okay. And it's all the serving sizes and it's right there. And it's not a full meal.

It's just a little bit. Perfect amount. Perfect amount. I actually don't know what to do after that. Kind of. I'm like, so what do we do? Yeah. I'm like, where do we go now?

That was like, that's it. It seems like. How does it get any better? It's tough to beat. Mel's Best Available, Disney Parks. Epcot. Epcot might. Epcot might be...

Patriots. Patriots or any Moss? No, Epcot might be... I'm trying to think of another Mario Williams situation, you know? Edmott might be Tavon Walker a few years ago that past rusher that all of a sudden. He had like two sacks in college. but he had great measurables. It started on Twitter storm on a fire

where everybody was just like, I don't know. I think Jacksonville, they might take that kid from Washington over Aidan Hutchinson. Oh, Hutchinson had just been around for so long. They got bored of it. And they were like, no, they talked themselves into Tavon. It's amazing. I think he got an extension.

I think it worked out in the end. But his first three years, it was kind of like, that got talked into something by Twitter. Does that actually have? happen, you think? It has to. It has to, man. Because every time the draft rolls around and just like some, some like whatever quarterback

just starts raising, bro, everybody's draft, I'm like, how is this happening? Like, what does he have behind him? Like, I don't know. It's just, it's like, does the PR do it? Like, how does the quarterback just get hot? I don't know what. I honestly, to God, for any of that, I honestly, to God, think a lot, but comes for, like, online, they can sense it.

they can feel it. Yeah. And then before they even know it, all of a sudden, in their draft, in their war room, all of a sudden, they're like,

so we're taking Tavon Walker, right? Like, that's what, like, we should, right? Because everybody online,

just like, he's rising up fast. Don't be surprised. So wild. Now sports podcast, so. Anyways, anyways,

these guys will turn anything into a draft conversation. Oh my God. Everything we talk about turns into the NFL draft. NFL drafts or Christmas or holidays. Yeah.

Pretty much. Dude, know what I was thinking about, though, was, um, like when you'd come back, when you'd come back from summer vacation back in the day.

And you'd have to be toyed with, what do I bring back for the girl that I, that I'm seeing? Ha, ha, ha, ha. Has to be some of the worst gifts ever given, right? Mm-hmm. One of my,

something I did back in the day. Thought it was so cute, man. Good looking seashell. Good looking seashell. And I'm like, this is going to work, bro. Like I actually came, like went through, followed through this, got the seashell. I have it in my bag, got home.

It was broken into like 23 pieces. Yeah. So I just gave her some seashell all chipped up. I was like, yeah, I was at the beach and I thought of you. Scurvy, scurvy, hanty. You like my shells? Or I completely forgot about her the entire time, then got home and had to like scramble and buy something like Hobby Lobby that I just lied to her and said it was from the beach or something, you know? Something that could pass.

Yeah, this is this capsule full of sand that I bought. one day ago from Indiana it was always yeah it'd be like the last night and you're kind of panicking and then inevitably you're there with like your mom and your sister

and they're judging you and they're pissed and then you get more revved up because they're like don't even approve of the girl oh my God yo I wouldn't even tell them bro

no chance Don't even approve of the girl And they're just sitting over there pissed You know Because you're panicking I don't know Is it this? Like should it be

Is it a necklace? Like that's kind of corny right And I don't want to get her like a Florida license player With her name That's even worse Do I get her from Albin's Island Do I get her just like this

Do I get her the shirt That says the city? I don't know if she likes that color though You're freaking out All these things are going through your mind Hull time ruining your whole trip Whole time Your sister's just over there

the entire time, arms cross or looking at her phone. Not even going to last anyways. I don't even know why you're doing this. Or she makes fun of what she looks like. You ever had that? Yeah, I was freaking out about this girl one time. I just looked at my scissors. She goes, she looks like a baby dinosaur anyway.

I was like. Oh, I was like, well. Man. Sisters know. I had a sisters know. to bring it out of you. I was like, well, that's it right there. I guess I'm not talking to her anymore.

Old Jurassic Park ass. Never mind. I just was thinking about it though. I was like, man, thank God that now, you know, like my wife, it's like, yeah, just get whatever you want. Get whatever you want, you know, sure. Doesn't matter. But back in the day, you'd be gone for that week, you know, that that week. And I'd just be like, oh, man.

Got your shark tooth. Got to bring back something that first. night when we first meet up, you know, getting ice cream, whip out the Alvin's Island bag. Player move. Yeah, but vacation was good. Vacation was great. Obviously, sad, weather's great. Hopefully I'm feeling looking a little bit more tan.

I don't know. I was very conscious about it. I'd very like, I'd take care of my, you know, I'd try to really take care of my skin now. A lot of re-recovering, you know, I would wear a long. sleeve out to the beach every now and then. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's not a bad look for some reason. Yeah, I see like guys like fishing in boats with long sleeves on.

Like, why does that look cool? Hey, long-sleeved bucket hat. Oh, hard beach fit. Long-sleeved bucket hat is what, uh, what shorts, what shorts? Just your regular trunks. You know, just a plain blue pair of trunks. you don't get the job done.

Yuppes, yep. But Bucket hat, Bucket had long sleeve on the beach now is what Jersey and snapback used to be 15 years ago. Tough fit, dude. And you're 18 or 19 and you're going out there, you know, for spring break.

You got the jersey on. You got the snapback on. Still wearing it. Still wearing it. That's fine. But now he has a doubted to. I'm chasing them around. I exchange those two things.

for the bucket hat in the long sleep. L.S. Bucket hat. Dude, sunglasses on the back of your head when it gets crazy. What's up? You guys want to get ice cream? It's a cool dad. I'm dapping that dad up. That's right.

Yeah. Drinking hand. Florida guy. Yeah. Corona with a lime on the top. What's up? No, not even. Tall skinny.

Tall skinny, like high noon or something. Tall skinny high noon. Oh. Tall skinny Mikulb. Who's not talking to that guy? guy. What's going on? Yeah, as we're from Indianapolis. No, I know. Yeah, the Pacers

was crazy last year. It's a great run. Right, right, right, right. Sandals on, right. Hey, sandals on with a bottle opener on the bottom of your sandal. Right, right. Kind of drunk dad, being funnier than normal, whoa, in the elevator. He's quippy

in the elevator. No, not even elevator, man, because we We had just had our own, yeah, we had our own walk way down, straight from the back door, back deck, right down. Dude. But we had neighbors, but we had neighbors, you know, we had neighbors and we had people who had the chairs and the umbrellas who were right next to us. Really, it wasn't even the people in the chairs of the umbrellas. It was the guy that was putting the chairs and the umbrellas out. That's who you're forming a relationship with.

Because you see him every day at the same time. Clockwork. See him every day. He's coming by and check in. everybody good? Who does his name? Jackson. Jackson from Gainesville.

You're Jack, you want to drink? Giving them nicknames and shit. Jay Money. 745, yeah. You're a, hey, I'm on vacation time. You want one? Kind of a dream job. We're talking about that the whole week.

Me and my brother-in-law and my sister, we were talking about that the whole week. We're like, this dude just every day on the beach probably makes just enough to keep a roof over his head, you know? Who cares? I used to see dudes like wrangling all like the beach umbrellas and stuff and putting them away and like those box, big like wood boxes on the beach. I was like, yeah.

I mean, what if you just did that your whole life? Who cares? Yeah, I just talk to people on the beach and make money and get tan the whole time. And that's it. Get tan. And I just live right here. Great cardio. Live probably, you know, I don't want to speculate too much,

but I would assume that that salary doesn't necessarily pay well enough to live directly on the beach. But hey, you got a nice little cottage set up right across the street from the beach. You're hearing those waves crash to wake you up in the morning. You're just a beach guy. That is an amazing sound in the morning. A pelican or something. a seagull. Yep.

Just looking for French fries, dude. Joker laugh. Yeah, it's good. We did the, you know, the, I don't know, this is a good question for you. When your family goes on vacation can be you and your sisters,

you, your dad, the whole thing, whatever it is. You go on vacation and you're staying in a place like Florida and you're staying in a condo or a room like that where everybody's together. Do you all come together at the end of the day at nighttime and play games?

Or what's that situation like? God, I can't even remember. If I was with like my cousins and stuff, maybe they'd have like a game that they brought. My immediate family would never do anything like that. We'd all just be like, nah. Maybe somebody's like watching a show. And like bullshit.

no um no but if i was with like my cousins and stuff my aunt and uncle and all that kind of yeah we would we would we would come together and like kind of have like i don't know maybe maybe they brought like a board game or something they wanted to like they couldn't wait to play with us or something you know and you like never do it's here all right let's like let's whip it out all right all right right right it's like there's something on there's something on tv or just kind of going back and forth, but like we were kind of like when we had like Christmas or like I went over my aunts and uncles for Christmas stuff, there would be like a segment of the day dedicated to like playing like catchphrase or something. So we were always kind of like a like there would

be a game thing and I never saw it coming and I always be like really we're about to do this. But then once we got it going, yo, it was like almost the best time I had. I was like wow, we're really like, this is a moment right now. See, we ended up doing, because we always do that, maybe not a game. We'll play euchre. I know, euchre. But you can't play. I could.

I could play euchre every night. But, you know, when you have six people, it's a four person game typically. So it's like you can't do that every night. So then other options start coming out of right. But we do. You know, the kids would go down and then we'd all end up in the main room. would be hanging out, having some beers or, you know, mom would have a pinocalada or whatever. And, you know, again, have a game on.

And you're just kind of at the end of the night, that's your time together because the kids are down and we're, you know, that's our vacation time to all be together. And one night, of course, like my parents are maybe the, maybe the place you're staying out. You know, sometimes you go to places and they just have a, they have like a pantry cabinet you open up. There's just random ass games in there. Oh yeah Uh-huh And you're like How are these even here?

Right, you're like I see I guess a little shish Going on with with these And one of them was just like I think it was just called like How well do you know me And so they're just a little cards That had different questions

And prompts and whatnot And so to me that's the best shit Because yeah like one night My sister I get it what she was doing But she tried to break out this game That had a bunch of different instructions And everything

And me and you are on the same page When that happens, I'm just, I clock out. I know. I'm just like, what are we doing? We got to keep all this together and you got to run through the instructions. Okay. So this person starts with this card. And this card says this.

And then they run to their partner who is, you have to sit not by each other, but every other person. And then they got the sand dial. And I'm like, too much. I just want to drink a couple of Mikhail of Ultras and like bullshit about something. I know. You know? Yeah. But anyways, we did.

We found one. It was just that how well do you know me? And so he started kind of going around in those prompts. And one of them was if you could have five people, five famous people, five celebrities that could be on your guest list to a party you were hosting, who would they be? Now, I want to give you a second to think about because I want to know what yours would be. Okay. mine Adam Sandler

Jerry Seinfeld Matthew McConaughey Peyton Manning Jimmy Fallon I don't know if I can just rip five like that I gotta take a whole entire day well yeah I mean I that's the answer that I came up with

I'm on green I'm on green I'm on green Priest Holmes and Antonio Freeman just the five best running backs in 2002 Marshall Fault Fries home Jamal Lewis Eddie George Ooh

What's up boys I wouldn't say a word The whole time I'd just be like this Like I was at a tennis match Yeah neither would I But I was trying to go for like a nice balance Of people that would be like

Yeah they'd be a good time You know I'd be pretty intimidated To Jerry I think But like I think All those people would be like Cool but fun Lighthearted easy going, not bring any problems, some good jokes, good personality.

Paid Manning was actually my fifth wildcard one. I had a few different others ones in my head and I was like, yeah, I think Pete, man. I think he'd be a great time. He'd be a great party guest. Just tell me a story. Like, just tell me a story that no one's heard, you know? Oh, he would kill it. Not even a story, but I also would just like, I would test that crazy quarterback

memory that you hear those stories about those guys, I'd be like, a play call for the touchdown to Marvin Harrison at the Titans where he dove out and caught it and nobody saw him or nobody touched him and the cameras got his eyes like this looking around to see if anybody's going to touch him and they got up and scored. What was that play call?

You know he knows though. Yeah, I know. I would just go through. Because like you almost know. I know the play. I know the result, but I want to hear and run through the exact operation. I know that was an X dig, bro. I know that was an X dig.

Yeah, Peyton Manning, he's the guest and he just, all he does, all he can do is just speak of play calls. That's it. Just want to hear all the play calls, man. That's it. Just run us through it. Like we're in a huddle. X smoke.

Do it. Do it. Give us a play call, dude. Hey, the play call against the Colts. the Colts against the bills at the bills where Marvin Harrison tipped it to himself and then got it? Remember that?

I think that was the Patriots. Oh, was it? Yeah, I think it was I think that was Sunday night football, but it might have been the first game of the season. You remember that year the Colts Pats kicked off the season

in Foxborough? And the Colts like beat the shit out of them. Not a local pod? No. I think I might be thinking about a different play because this is like maybe rookie manning not a local podcast or a sports podcast but it was honestly like the best catch i've ever seen live i was like oh shit he really he really did that he like turned his body yeah no i know you got five though you got a few

i don't i can't honestly i can't even think of one like seriously for some reason like off the top of my head though uh shumper from the calves. I don't know why, bro. But have you, have you heard him tell a story? I'm like, he would just be a lit-ass person

to be like at your, like a VIP guest. I don't know. Every time he talks, I'm like, damn, good point. I don't know why. I'm in Shumper, yeah?

No, that checks out for you. I'm glad you said that. Don't, I don't know why, but like it just, I feel like he'd like say a lot of cool stuff.

I mean, that's why we're all there, right? saying cool stuff. Saying cool stuff. Say cool stuff and entertaining. And he's got some good stories. But that's one of them for some reason.

Mine would all be kind of wild. Jeff Teague in there maybe. Bro, every time he talks, it's like groundbreaking in my mind. I'm like, this is amazing. I did see that clip with Cowherd on their show.

Oh, he might be nice to have it. It's just all podcast hosts. I'm like, what can go wrong? It's all just people I do impressions of. Cowherd, Kuiper, Manning. Then for absolutely no reason. Just Mike Piazza and Jason Seahorner there.

They don't say a word. I'm like, yeah, just the last minute, I thought you'd be interested for no reason. Brady Quinn shows up. I'm like, oh. Those are my five. That's my five. I stumbled across.

Perfect. I stumbled across a Instagram video of Brady Quinn on some random show talking about Jeff Samarja. Dude, everyone listening right now saw that clip. Everyone. I think I saw it three times and watched it all three times. I was like, my God, dude.

If we could just, we just, we just need Brady Quinn and Jeff Samarja. Me, you, Brady Quinn, Jeff Samarja, two couches talking. First guest. That's it. That's all we need. First guest. the shark. Producer Mike,

can we set this up? Can we get me and Ben on one couch, Samarja and Quinn on the other one? Four mics. We probably barely say anything. I wouldn't say a word. Just talk about something. Can you just talk about the 2005 USC game?

When did you know you were changing into the green jerseys? Actually, can you just talk about the time you play Michigan State? like any of the times like not no specific time but just like one of the years you played Michigan State and threw like a bomb like post Samarja can you just explain it

have you or have you not ever seen the sun at Michigan State while playing there so funny if they're like actually I can't nope

no recollection of any any son perfect Yeah, so that's the shit that we would do. How well do you know me? You know, it's like we're family. We talk every single day. You know each other.

But you'd be surprised sometimes. That's where a real, that's where vacation really gets going. Turns up. Somebody says something a little off the wall or that you're not expecting. Like what? One of the prompts. My mom, my mom, her first person she said on the list of five that she would want to be at her party, Shaquille O'Neal.

Where'd that come from? And then for the rest of the trip, you're like, yeah, why don't you invite Shaquille O'Neal, too? Like, you know, you have that, like, for the rest of the, that is sick to do, like, early night on vacation for the rest of the week. You can kind of call it back. Hey, my brother-in-law on his list, one of them, Jerry Jones. Oh, what a weirdo. No, I'm just kidding. It's so funny.

That was literally me. I was like, yeah. The fucking tired of Jerry Jones. He's like, I don't know, man. Old rich guy that probably says some crazy stuff. Yeah, there you go. It's all about saying something. Sure.

Okay. Dan Dockets. And for our last guest, he kicks in the dark. My ass. My ass leaves. That's it. Bro, Dan Docs.

That crazy walk. That crazy walk, the baggiest clothes on ever. I just looks so like frustrated kind of too when he walks. Eating eating something and looking at his phone, not paying attention to anything. Like the most unapproachable guy of all time, but also is like down to clown too. Can be. Got to catch him with the right day. Crazy moment.

This just all came to me the other day when I was doing, uh, see if you can like, uh, take a snap at the Rose Bowl and we got Docich. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yo, if I didn't have Joe King with me, wouldn't have happened. What? Because I was like, because he was like, is that Dan Dockett? And I was like, oh shit. And he was like almost like to like in there like going in. And I don't want to bother him now.

And I know how he's like how he is. I think I know how he is. But King, Docch, get the fuck. You mother. And then all the IU people were like, yeah. And then he was just like, ah, shit. And he ran over and we did the whole snap thing. Pretty nice cadence too for a basketball guy.

Yeah, dude. Of course he would. But you need like, I don't know. I just wasn't the guy. I wasn't the guy that day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you got to have a guy that's like, hey, get over for the Hoosier.

Like all this shit, bro. Couldn't say no. Crazy moment. Docch Clubhouse? Dogg's Clubhouse? I don't know. Did he remember you from a Stuygens? A little bit.

I think he's probably, oh, this shit. He might have seen it before or something. No, but like we did, like 10 years ago.

Like, we were doing Coach Burns and Rocco with him. Like, did he recall you at all? I don't really think. We've never like really met. I don't think. We've just threw shit like that

where it's just like random. He might have recognized my face just from like being in the stachy. Uh-huh. I don't know, though. We had fake moustaches on. And, So I got.

Wild. Advisors. So he probably didn't. Sorry, we're just trying to do cool stuff. We're just trying to do cool stuff. Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry, everybody. Guys like cool stuff. And we're just trying to do cool stuff for guys. I don't know. I don't know. Pardon me. Hey,

station, why don't we get over to the clubhouse? God. There's a couple things we need to cover real quick. Okay. Quit. We'll do it quick. Quickly here, man.

2026 cover. Dripping or tripping Madden cover? The NCAA one, NCAA one, I say dripping. I like the party that's going on with the NCAA cover. I like,

that they fully go into the pageantry of like they got the confetti and there's a mascot head in the back and there's like another one beat the shit out of another one in the back and you got the different you know you got signetti you got the different stars that are going to be like I'm in because with us that's like our heaven it's like a college football paradise where all this shit's going on I like it a lot I say drooping I don't I don't see how you don't like that cover but it was weird how they showed like a wide like thumbnail cover and then like the one that's on the game I'm Like, where's Cignetti come in?

Is it fake? I don't know what that was. There was like a nice car out there too. I was like, oh, let's go. They're like doing NIL stuff. Like they're, I liked it a lot. I did see that post that was going around.

That was like, this looks like the movie poster for 2007 comedy, which I thought was, yeah, which I thought was funny. I thought that post was funny. And when you're looking at it, you're like, oh, yeah, shit.

That really does. That's exactly. how I would make that cover. Yeah, like just crazy stuff. Get the biggest star coach that you're like, you know, he's SIG's doing his Signetti thing. Right. And so you're like, oh my God, they got him? Mm-hmm. You get the three biggest stars.

Again, it's the mascots, man. Get the mascots in the background doing stupid bullshit. So much fun, bro. Who doesn't want to play that game? And then the cover they actually came out with with the three guys, uh, Miami dude. Oregon dude, Ole Miss dude

that goes hard too Lacey and Dante Moore yeah that cover goes hard too three of them on there I do kind of miss just this is nostalgia for sure

but just the one guy with like the white that's that's like an actual day like ripped it from in game Joey Harrington like it's not a photo shoot that's actually him

up at oddson Yeah, they got a Getty image license for that. And they cut him out dirty too. They like, it's nice. And then they put the, they put the NCAA logo like, ooh, the way they position it right between Carson Palmer's arms.

Yeah, yeah. With like the, the sickest QB face mask of all time with the two bars up here and the one bar here. He looks so good on that cover. E.A. Sports. It's in the game.

That's pretty good. dude, that was pretty good. And you weren't even trying. But yeah, dude, like that cover, that's all you hear. Synonymous. And then once you, hey, once you fire that up and the loading screen goes, immediately, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. How, like, overwhelmed for a second, are you at the new menu?

First time you see it, you're like, dude, if someone is saying, someone could be saying the crazy, you just want a million dollars. I'd be like, shut up! Shut up! But no, you wouldn't even turn. You wouldn't even acknowledge him because you just like, oh, no, yeah. Your eyes are darned all over the screen.

Like, you play Madden for a while and like the soundtrack was heat, but it still would kind of get on your nerves a little bit. Like at the end of the year, when you were playing Madden forever, you'd be like, so if you love me, you know. You'd be like, God, like I rock with the song, but like it is getting a little like on my nerves now. soundtrack. Holy shit, that just like, that

It's a new day. And it all feels a, that's a good life. That's what I want. For some reason, they were a cool-ass band. Like, I didn't really like a lot of. of bands or something, like weird reasons, but I could always rock with good Charlotte. I was like, okay. I don't ever want to, I don't ever want to be you.

Bam Bam That one I That one was on there That one was on there Because I remember I was like

Damn I got turned this Super edited though Attention Wow Bonecrus Hey Is he dead

All right Look back Dude you remember Inca O6 with Des Howard on the cover This is where

they started getting a little wild because they had him doing the Heisman. NCAA 06. I remember I fired that up on Christmas of probably 05 or 06, whatever, probably 06, fired that up. And, you know, I was expecting to open it up to, you know, bum, da-da-da-da-da-da-dan-dan-da-da-da.

Like something like that, you know. Never got old. Yeah, I was expecting that. And then all of a sudden, It's just me, myself and I I was like, never been happier. Never been happier. NCAO6 is doing real music.

Me, myself, and I? De La Sol? They mixed it with fight songs too. That was crazy, man. I don't know if I've ever been happier than that. Christmas 2006. We were doing it at this. I know we were playing it at the same time.

I know it. Firing it up behind me. campaign with me, myself and I, De La Sol playing. It's like, oh, shit. I did an exhibition game on Christmas Day. I think it was obviously Michigan against like,

I played like Central Michigan. I was just like, let me just beat this shit out of a team real quick and just see what this game's all about. Before I have to like drive to Michigan to see like my grandparents. Never been happier sitting in that chair. Mike Hart impact player,

the circle under him. Ripped off like an 84. yard run. My name was like, hey, get dressed. But he watched and saw what I was doing. My cart taking it up the sideline. I was like, eyes popping out of my head. I was so happy. It's got to be a moment. Veteran move here. Veteran move. Well, I don't know. Probably everybody did this, but I just remember thinking like, oh, I'm really, really thinking ahead here. about that time when I was like 11 or 12 so I had the PS2 or the GameCube

and knew that I'd be probably getting video games at different places that I was going to would make sure that I packed the PS2 to go to grandmas because I was like that it happened before, you know? Maybe my mom or dad or both of them was like, hey, you know, it happened before in the years past where like I get a video game

but then like I can't really play it until the next day basically because we're going to so many different places. Freaking out inside, dude, freaking out inside. So I'm like, wow, this is amazing. Thank you so much. But that year, I remember that year, had it set up in their little sunroom. I had it set up in myself back there so they could keep on their own shit. And I had peak.

Oh, dude. Peak Christmas party at your grandparents right there. When you bring the console on Christmas, bro. And your cousins? Oh. Well, that was just my sister. Well, I mean, no better moment. you know I always thought about that too

I was like what if I brought my place in it but like are people going to be mad to me that I'm not like spending time with you know like I'm just like in a room by myself playing mad and all day yeah but I think I was like talking to my uncle yeah I know but like as a parent now I like to think about it's like kid that's their shit that's what it's about like kids are always around us the family give a little grace period go in there do your thing That was baller, dude.

Hey, because that means. Yeah. Youker? Yeah, you want to play spoons? That's right. I'm in the other room playing NFL Blitz on GameCube or something. Oh my God. That is the most fun thing ever.

I used to have, like I always, I always, like never knew how to hook up the console to your, like, grandparents old ass TV. Hell now. There's like a 60,

40 chance that it doesn't even work, but you're bringing it anyways because you're like... Does it have the red, white, and yellow prongs? Yeah, mine did, but I remember thinking like, I don't know, this may not. Yeah, I was like, I'd rather, I'd rather fail, I'd rather, you know,

I'd rather fail for preparation reason, or for stuff that's out of my hands than fail to prepare. So I was like, I'm ready. And if they don't have it, all right, I get it cool. Yeah, you're plugging it in. Just trying everything, bro. Just guessing, is this going to work?

Is this going to work? You finally hit the right input button. And you see PlayStation 2 on their old-ass TV screen. Oh! Yeah. Boom. It's insane. You're like, how does this work on this TV?

This is George Washington's TV. Mel's Miss available underrated hype moments. When you're flipping through, yeah, you're flipping through the inputs. You're like, I don't know. I don't know. Hits it. You're like in like the chances of that working.

We can never unplug this. Yeah, no, because it won't. Like this is some, by the grace of God, this is some Christmas miracle. Yes. And if we do it, the TV is just going to explode. And we're going to be able to use it again. This is the last time. This is the only time this will ever work.

The stars are aligned. The GameCube thing. I remember just seeing that on an old TV. I was like, this makes zero sense. Dootook do. Yeah. What a moment. All right.

I didn't get back into video games. Say that every podcast. Madden. I like the backdrop, the city backdrop. I think that's cool. I don't know. To be honest for me, it kind of came out of nowhere. I knew that play that Caleb Williams did, like got a lot of buzz and it was cool.

but I don't know if I had Madden cover on my card for that. On Kay Will? Yeah, I didn't either. I actually didn't. I had no idea. I had no thought about the Madden cover at all. I think the cover itself is dripping. Oh, the year before it was Sequin, right?

It had to be. Yeah. I think the cover itself is dripping. And that's the kind of direction they're going. But again, if I'm being honest, it kind of felt like it was just like, I guess we'll do that. Yeah, we'll do that one. We got to do something.

Might as well be that one. You know, it didn't have that like, oh, when Sequin did that, you're like, yeah, that. Right there. I don't know. I kind of like it. I can't think of another thing that would beat it, honestly. I probably just don't know enough, but it was good. Okay.

The cover is cool, but it just kind of took me. I just felt really out of left. left field. I was like, oh wow. Really? Okay. Okay. The guy makes one play. I think there's Michael Jordan. Okay. Why did Michael Jordan? I know.

I know what it takes. Caleb Williams. These Gen Z. Quarterbacks. My ass. Doc, you're right after Christmas. That's our show. So good. I'm going.

He actually did, though, didn't he? Wow. Boxing one on MJ. It's whatever. Okay, dripper tripping, Timberwolves jerseys, new ones. I don't know if I've seen them. Is it the,

did they revert back to the old KG days? Look at up. Look at up. They pretty much every team now just takes like the oldest jersey and like the jersey everybody likes and like. They try to model. ashes them together. And it's kind of like,

it's kind of getting annoying. Because they like, they just always miss on something. And I'm like how, they leave so much on the table that I just think it's ridiculous. I think I'm looking at the right one. Do we have like the white one, the blue one with the green font and the black one?

Mm-hmm. I don't know. Maybe it's just me, but I do like those. I'm going to say tripping. I'm going to say tripping. Because I think if you're going to just go for it with the black uniform, then just do it with that crazy ass timber wolf's font.

That looks like it's in the woods and it's like it looks like a wolf. I know. But I always like, am like, is that just because that's what we grew up on? But like I am so sure that that is the best uniform they've ever had. And one of the best I've ever seen. Like you're, you're going to do the like, let's bring back the old stuff

and make it cool again. But you're not going to include the trees on all the, come on, dude, the trees? And you're right, that font, that Timberl's font.

God. You know what? It all screams to me. It's just part of the greater conversation that we've had. We've posted it on these guys a few days ago. You know, the dad, why'd you punch a hole in the wall?

It's just, it, all of it is just, the corporatization of everything. And everybody just being like, oh, we're getting close to it. It kind of looks like it. But we're not going to go all the way there. Why can't we know?

We're going to get a little flavor, but we're not going to go all the way there. We're going to stay kind of just right here and walk this line and make sure nobody's pissed off. Even if we see two tweets about it that don't like it, we're just going to try to stay right here. And that's why screams to me? Why is everyone doing that, though? I just We go. We can have cool stuff.

Guys like cool stuff and we can have cool stuff. That, my friend, is a greater conversation about risk aversion. Whether it's the uniforms or the roster building, everyone's trying to walk a fine line when it comes to risk aversion. Coming up. Something that I am not risk aversion. Happy hour at Bankley's Bar and Grow coming up tomorrow.

I hope to see you there. 10701075. Binklies, dude. God. I love Binklees. One more. One more and I'll shut up. The rockets.

I almost said hawks because they look. Same shit. Same shit. It's the same shit. Looks clean. Sure. No, it doesn't. Why do uniforms look so bad?

I honestly think Nike ruined it. I don't think, I think they blew it. Like uniforms look like Like youth kid uniforms now Like everything Like this is like big on here Now everything's like

It just looks like not as good I don't know what it is It looks like a rushed Everything looks like we had to do it last night It's pretty McDonald'sy Oh that the whole rocket's uni is McDonald's I hate come on man You know you know the best

Rockets branding. Everyone's thinking of it right now. Yeah, that's the Rockets. One, two, three, Steve Franchise. Oh, Steve Francis. Ketino Mobley. That's what you're thinking, right? Yeah, oh my God. With the actual rocket?

I mean, those are the Rockets. Like every other Rockets branding, like it just looks like soulless. I'm like this, what are they? but those are those are the rockets bro yeah 100% I don't know but I think I think tripping on the two uniforms college football cover is sick I like it a lot madness too

I think that'll grow on everybody the madden yeah the madden it's a great cover like again it's a dripping it looks cool but for me it was just again I was like oh yeah I guess that did happen that was okay I love when something happens like on the internet and nobody sees it coming. Like usually I see a tweet that's like Madden covers dropping today and I'm like,

we're ready for it. But that was just like, yeah, it was just there. All of a sudden, Shifty, I was like, Caleb Williams, jump through the sky. Cool. All right, let's go to Team These Guys at Gmail.com. Appreciate you filling up the inbox.

Keep them coming. Team these guys at Gmail.com. Let's go to Joshua. Joshua says Austin Colley's medical bill. These guys, Benny and Joey, what's going on? First time, short time, goal time. Hey, it's Josh, aka Cowers Chin. I love the Indiana land party.

Just wanted to say, why did it seem like every time I would put the Colts game on, Manning was throwing a hospital ball to Collie? Like, geez, you even like the guy? Anyways, love the pod and what you guys do. Smack my ass with a perfectly charred, all beef hot dog, as you whisper. Not bad for a fat guy.

In my ear with Prince Fielder highlights playing in the background. Oh. Dad, how good was Johnny Knox? What an email. What a couple of seasons he had. Appreciate you, Joshua. It was. It was good to meet you at Indiana land.

Thanks for coming down. Fellie came down from the Chicago land and area. Stayed in Indy. Him and his boy stayed in Indy. Went to the Indy 500 the next day. Went to Indiana land. It was great. which oh yeah yeah uh little little uh half time reference here uh be on a lookout for later this week

later this week clubhouse got a little sum coming hope to see you there uh johnny knox yeah i remember one i remember one time uh when the steelers played at the bears in 2009 and he had a really good game. I think he almost died, but he had a really good game and it really pissed me off. Did you say Johnny Knox or did you say, yeah. John Knox? Every game, Knox catching a touch, catching a pass on like 10 yard line running it and up the sideline. That's all I remember. Just classic like that guy just day knew how to get open that guy. You know?

Great name. Soft spot in the zone. Johnny Knox. Johnny soft spot. Find the hole, sit down, settle. Yep. Get up, Phil. Could also be for Austin Colley, too. It's probably why those medical bills are coming in because he was just, you know, finding the seams in the soft spots and then just get decapitated.

Colts could not just find that guy. They just tried to replace Brendan Stokely just so many times and just couldn't do it. The dude from Ohio State too. I'm like, oh! The Colts guy in? Like, dude, the Colt for a minute? Oh, you're talking about United States

representative Anthony Gonzalez. On Gonzalez, the last little part of it. So, you know what? Not a local pod, but damn, man. Colch Nation. They fell for it, hook, line, and sinker every time. Every time. Anthony Gonzalez.

Yeah. Austin Colley. Yeah. Blair White. Oh, my God. Mm-hmm. Just me too, though. Dude, for a minute, I was bought in.

Because remember, like, the Colts, like, you know, they found, like, a couple gems, like, Dallas Clark, Bob Sanders, you know, like those type of. And you never thought, you never saw it come in. And then they went a Super Bowl. I was like, yo, Colts know how to draft. Then every draft pick after that, I was like, they know, they know. Dude, it should just not work.

That was, dude, buddy, that was. Austin Collie was so. Austin Colley had to have sold more pink bedazzled jerseys to moms that were 38 to 56 years old. Really? Wow. Weren't any player. Mom loved Austin Colley. I never really saw him do anything either, though.

Maybe it was just me, but I was like, what's he done? Like, he's selling all these jerseys and I'm like, I don't really think he's done. Like, he just doesn't play, really. And see, this is like, this is where it's in the bizarre, bad world of the Colts organization right now. It's because back in those days, people, like, people would see one guy catch four balls in a game, like, Austin Colley. Like, I'm getting his jersey because he's going to be a pro bowler. He's going to be a stud. He's going to be, like, they had that belief.

And now it's just totally the opposite way. Like, so cynical, nothing to believe in. You know, bully. Dude, we'll leave it when I see it type of thing. Yeah. Still wearing Austin Collie jerseys to the big oil drum on Sundays. Dude, that pink Colt women's jersey, though. Just on a mom with like real high, like jeans pulled up.

Bangs. Bangs, dude. Smells like a cigarette. White long sleeve underneath. Mm-hmm. So many, so many Mikulab Ultras. Big belt. A lot of big.

McDonald's cups in her car. Big belt buckle. Yeah. That mom, dude, she loved the pink jersey. There's, dude, there's like 800 of those moms every, like, Oh, my God. I think the Colts might have the most. Of that mom.

That mom. Everybody knows that mom. Hey, Jeans from, like, buckle. Mm-hmm. Be dazzled still. Like, even you go to the game next year still. Hey boots too Like cowboy boots

Underrated Underrated girl Like swag at a Colts game Is cowboy boots Like okay I kind of get it Like Colts horse Okay

What's her name It's Debbie Debbie Debbie It's Debbie Dawn Don Donne

Don Wow Wow nice Don Connie Connie Hey, has like a has like a Facebook page called Colts Connie. Colts Connie.

She tried to be like Cloney Dungey. She's trying to be like Cloney Dungey. He's still around, dude. Why wasn't he at the Indianaland party? Cloney Dunjy walks in. I honestly, I think that's how I would have died. Damn. Oh my God.

I want to stab myself through the chest if Clooney Dungey walked in. Holy shit. Colt Connie. Colony Dungy and Colts Connie, man. Oh, my God. A lot of Diet Coke. Flown through Colts Connie's veins, dude.

A lot of mascara on those eyes. Bangs just... blocking the sun out. Roof's open. Colts Connie's bangs are down. Oh, shit. Let's go to Tanner. Clubhouse jersey contest?

What's up, Benny and Joy? My bachelor party's coming up in July. We decide to all wear mid-2000s NFL jerseys for the bar crawlway plant. The idea for us was to collectively vote on who has the best jersey, but then it hit me. Who better to decide the winner than Johnson and Schmettie? Oh, God. I can send the picks of the jerseys to the station. You guys could pick the winner the following week's pod.

But give me an excuse to tell my boys to join the clubhouse and listen to the episode. Jersey contest, announced the winner in the pod? My ass will be back. Actually, let me get that. Here we go. Jersey contest? Nounce the winner on the pod.

My ass would back. Anyways, smack my ass with a large band pizza from Pizza Hut and then destroy my shin with a razor scooter. Wow, Tanner. Describing my Friday nights, when I was nine years old. Oh, scooters. The red, never had the razor, but you, dude, you hit, like a little scooter session outside,

like in the summer at like 7 p.m. still kind of light out. Mm-hmm. Feels good. Just you in your driveway? Come back in to the Pizza Hut, ready? Pizza Hut today. Ready, ready. You and your buddy, you and your buddy, you and Joe King.

going a little ride around the neighborhood, you know, you're just messing around, you know. You're throwing a rock or two at a mailbox, you know, nothing too crazy, but just, it's summer. Like it, right? All it's going down. Yeah.

Go ahead. Go up that curb. You know, you go from like the street on a scooter to the sidewalk. You go up the like rounded curb. It's like on the bottom of your scooter. It's like, because it hits the cement. You're like, yeah.

Yeah. Drive by the, drive by the girl. in the neighborhood's house you go to school with, see if she's, see if she's outside, you know. They moved. It's been a game.

Yeah, her weird, like, younger dad is outside. Why is her dad so young? Weird. I don't know. Is he going to cuss at me? All right. See you to scream at me? But then you roll back.

You roll back home and, hey, hey, as you're on the scooter, ride back to your house. You can see your house on the distance. See a pizza. Pizza delivery driving by. You're like, oh, they just went.

Oh! Wait, was that us? That couldn't have been us. Yeah. Did pizza delivery drivers even exist anymore? Oh, yeah. They still got like the thing on top of their car?

Yeah, I mean, some places do. What an amazing thing when you decide to get pizza delivered. What a, just revolutionize the pizza game, really. Like how come nothing else was like that, you know? True. Like pizza, you just delivered everything. It's automatic. You never even think about it.

Yeah, they'll deliver, but like nothing else. Right. Now you had to go to, now you have to go to like DoorDash to get a burger. Yeah. Interesting. With pizza, just. Dude, we, so first night we were down on vacation.

Yeah, you get into, you're all into town, probably like three or four, you know, you've been driving. And so you're just like, you know, my mom and my sister and my wife they go to the grocery because they're doing that big grocery run underrated maybe that's definitely the best grocery run. Holy shit. But they're going to do that. So then while they're doing that, it's like me and my brother-in-law are in charge of getting

the pizza because the first night in, you're like, no one's making a job. We've been driving. So it's like, hey, we're just getting some pizza. We went with jets. Do you ever had jets? Yeah. Holy shit. Not on purpose, though.

The ours wasn't either. Yeah. What happened? One place was like an hour and a half away. We're like, no. Another place didn't have my sister. She's pregnant and she has different. She can't have gluten and shit like that.

So they didn't have any gluten-free options at one place. And then we got the Jets and they did. So we're like, all right, I guess Jets. I think it was fucking awesome. I need to put out my fat stats list. Yeah, one time. Always having Jets pizza on accident and it being the best pizza I've ever had in my entire life. Big crap.

Whoa. Oh, yeah, the big Detroit style. Yo, yeah. That changed me. That changed me. Now you like different pizza. Whoa. Never thought to see that day.

But one time they were dropping off pizzas at every store in the mall like to just get the name out. Oh, nice. And you know, when you're like mid work and you're looking forward to nothing, there's four hours left. You're starving. We go in the back. There's a pizza. Yeah. And it's that.

Where it's from. Right. But it was like special. And the guy dropping it off was like, yeah, I left some business car. Like being all nice. I was like, oh my God. Pepperoni too. Like somebody I'd never really like even think to order.

It hit hard. It's good. It was. It was. dressing it up, putting flakes on there and parmesan? Why not? I texted my brother-in-law when we got back from vacation. We were talking about because I joked.

I was like, oh, he got a tail in to vacay with pizza. You know, you get back, he might as well. And then he texted me later on. He's like, I was super close to ordering Jets tonight. Oh, oh. I said, you know what? I said, Jets just went and worked their way. into the football rotation.

Rotation. How about this? Yeah, you got your go-toes during football season. It's like, hey, pizza's on the board for football weekend. Jets is possibility. Jets week one. Steelers, you got to get Jets pizza when the Jets play. All right, let's go back to Tanner, though.

Congrats on the upcoming nuptials, Bachelor Party. Yeah, tell us where you're going, too. You didn't tell us where you're going. Yeah, so we can be there. But a bar crawl, I'm going to go ahead and say probably Nashville, which is great. I've been on a bachelor party in July in Nashville. Yes, hot.

Yes, also very fun. It feels so good to just see A guys wearing like random ass 2000s running back jerseys on a pickle peddler in Nashville. I'd be like, yeah, please. Those are my people. Speak the language. Please speak the same language. You can line jersey. Black.

I love this idea, Tanner. Please do. God, I can't wait to see what you guys come up with. What's going to be? Who would yours be? Mid-2000s NFL jersey. Here are you pulling out. Like a random one?

I honestly would, I would, I've been looking for this and I've always wanted it, but a Joey Harrington black lines jersey. I'm like, I don't know why, but I just love that era. Like him playing on Thanksgiving, you just knew. he's going to take an L, but I was like, I got to watch this. Calvin Johnson is too on the nose. Like, you got to get somebody kind of dumb. Yeah, you need to, dude, if you're going to do that, you need to do like Jacques Bell or something.

I don't know if you can find those on the market somewhere. I'm sure they're out there. I've looked. He was a dog. The real ones know about Bell, dude. I tell you. So I tell you, we played him at you, Indy. No shit.

Yeah. Joey, Joe Eke Bell, uh, played for Wayne State. And he was insane. Wow. That makes so much sense. Yeah. He just tore it up, dude. Like, honestly, he's just carrying them to like eight wins a year.

Nobody could touch him. It's so crazy seeing like a guy like that and being like, well, this dude's insane. and then him go to the NFL and be successful. Actually, you're like, okay, it all makes sense. For sure. Yeah, my pick for this would probably either be, depending. But if you're in Nashville, I don't think I would, but it'd be Steve McNair or Eddie George,

probably a little too on the nose. Kevin Dyson. Dude, somebody just showed up in a black Aaron Brooks jersey. I've not seen one of those, like, ever almost. Number two, black and gold could wear like black pants with it. That would go so hard. Brooks. Quincy Carter, Cowboys, Jersey.

What's up? Just popping in, saying hey. Yeah, dude, please do. And yeah, like I said, let us know where you're going. Let's do one more here. From Jack, Gardner, Minchew's Jorts. Benny and Joy Joy. Notice multiple recent mentions of how Joey wore 47 on the field

and number one in our hearts back of the day. If this has already been brought up on the pod, just stop reading and move on. But I'd love to know y'all's thoughts on BYU's quarterback also wearing 47. Everyone around me seems to agree that it's sick if he's good. It's stupid if he sucks. After his freshman year, it turns out he's pretty good. His name being Bear Bachmeier, 10 out of 10 alliteration, makes it even better. And what makes it even better than that?

His brother plays wide receiver on the squad, and his name is Tiger. I'd love to hear Mel's best available twin brother's sister name combos. Who knows if I'll ever have twins, but if so, I need to start convincing my wife that naming them Golik and Greenberg would be a good idea. Cheers, Jack.

P.S., maybe sharing a football number makes Joey and Bear Bachmire's soulmates? Just kiss already. I'd kiss Bear Bogmire. Easy, easy, smooch. YouTube title, I'd kiss kissing Bear Bachmire. Got it. Lock it down.

Thumbail. Google. Google fucking SEO Google SEO is going to go crazy this week um

Golik and Greeny dude two boys named Golick and Greenie why'd you name your son's Golok and Green yeah no reason just rolls off the tongue

just the thing I listen to every single morning of my life for 26 years yeah just felt felt good

talk about to turn on the radio oh my God I like waking up just knowing Greenberg and Golic, we're just going at it, just on fire on ESPN. Like, well,

they're up, so I got to get up. It was something, dude, and when, like, nobody did football mornings, like Greenie and Golic,

man. Like, like, like, I'm thinking, the three things I'm thinking about, is the Thursday of NFL kickoff. That show,

that morning was like a religious experience. Can't miss it. Things you can't miss. Imagine I'm saying that. What was like one of the best mornings of your life? Your girlfriend asked you that, sunset. You're trying to like conjure up something in your head that's like romantic about a girl that you're like greening or like football kickoff.

Like a mic on September 5th, 2007, starting the NFL season. It was the Thursday morning show of NFL kickoff. it was the entirety of Super Bowl week. They would go crazy at Super Bowl week, and they'd be on location, right? Oh, my God. At stadiums. I went to one.

I swear to God, I woke up at 4 a.m. Went to live Mike and Mike at Lucas Oil. No, I remember, I forget what they were even doing for that. They were promoting something. But I was like, I got to go. You brought them Long's donuts? I did. Did I?

I must have. I brought Greenie a Jets hat. And it was fire, too. And I was like, I know he's never going to wear this like ever, but I was like, just have it. Maybe he'll remember me and ask me an intern or something. Exactly. Super Bowl week on location, the Thursday kickoff, and then Halloween.
