If a Southern guy tells us we're coming out hot Yeah he's giving Marty Smith vibes Great hairline Marty Smith How tall is he? I think he's six five Don't want to know Yeah he'd be a good first guest on these guys Or into these guys

guest list Throw him at the bar right Johnny. Let's get that origin story though. Let's do it real quick. Just to hash it. All right. So me and Joey were doing sports radio stuff like locally in Indiana because we didn't know what to do. We're like we wasn't even radio, bro. It wasn't even radio. It was internet like. Internet play by play. We just were like, dude, what if we made this really cool? And like, what if I, you know, we just like made like a cool play by play. like color like you know what I mean like cool broadcast for a sports game only it was like local local sports so I was calling like girls jv games and like Joey couldn't do it so I was like with this one

dude and I had no idea how to do anything and I this guy I was like calling the game with this kind of like nerdy so I was like he'll he'll know how to figure out this out like you know what I mean like there's a lot of stuff that goes into like the mics and like plug it into the computer like there's a of like tech logistics and I was like I was like I kind of know like if it came down to it I might be able to do it but I'm like this guy knows like you see him and you're like that guy can hook up a computer so so it's not just a computer it's not no no no it's not just computer it's like you have a computer you have I don't even remember what this thing I think it's called like access it's this whole um like old school radio looking thing with knobs all over it there's plugs there's

wires. It's not, you don't just show up and you sit in the gym with a mic and you're like, hey, we're on air. Not like that.

That's a ton of stuff. There's like a mixer. Too much. It's, it's insane. Honestly, I was like, I can't believe we have to do it like this.

But, um, so we're getting ready and there's like, there's like seven minutes before the game starts. And he, this dude texts me like an hour before and he's like, I'm here. And I was like,

oh, he's got it all set up, bro. Like, I'm about to walk in there, just go. sit down and rip like whatever jv girls game gotta get the reps you know i'm in i'm in it uh i get there and he's like uh uh i can't uh find the uh like some kind of like uh attachment for something and i was like ah dang okay let me uh let me like figure out let me try to figure

this out real quick i have no idea what i'm doing and i'm like what if we plug this into here and we like wrap that around and that goes in that one. Do you think it would work? Like I'm talking to a genius right now. He asked to know. And he just looks at me and he's like, okay. And I was like, what do you mean? In my head, I'm like, dog, the game starts in 30 seconds. Like there's like they're in their team huddles. They're doing the national anthem. Yeah. That's over. Dude, it's panic mode. I was like, yo. So I'm just like, I'm like, maybe we just share a mic then. Like, I don't know. And he's just like, okay. And in my head, I'm like, he knows nothing.

and I'm like, yo, we might have to call the guy to like bring us the part. Like, you know what I mean? And we're going to be letting down like six fans. I don't think it really.

Yeah. Just everything, bro. Okay. Everything that you, you were asking questions, he thought that you were just making suggestions and having solutions

when you were asking questions and looking for a yes or no some sort of a confirmation or hey, maybe we shouldn't do it this way. every single time this guy would just rip to bend. Okay. Okay.

I was like, dude, I don't know though. Okay. Okay. So now for all the clubhouse out there, we have a lot who email in that they say, stay sure know about this to their lady, you know, who isn't a burping girl yet. So now if you really want to piss them off in a situation. Yeah, so I was thinking like, is this okay? Do you want to do this for dinner?

Okay. what do you think about meatloaf what do you think about meatloaf on Friday oh oh no bro the best too the best is when if she gives an either or right so I was thinking like we could either go to Tommy and Michelle's on Friday or this concert okay oh my God don't give an answer oh my god have you seen the remote okay bro it was just I was like I'm I'm helpless I was like, this might be the last broadcast, big dog. That's it for your boy.

I can't remember from that origin story. Did you end up getting on air? Yeah, we did. Like by halftime, we were ripping. Hey, the amount of listeners, not even my family. Your family. Yeah, right, dude. Not a chance.

Holy hell. They'd rather die in burning hell than, Listen to that. Covenant Christian Girls JV basketball. I walked in the gym like I don't even know. I walked in the gym like

shouldn't this be canceled? Like it was kind of like, you know, you know when there's a JV game and like the weather's really bad? I'm like, what do you say? We just call this one. Like, I'm like, what do we do? Hey, get A.

And remember, none of this counts. because who the amount of times there's never been career bro the amount of times of my playing career I was joking about it at my cousin's birthday party over the weekend because somehow we were talking about all this kind of shit and I said I was like I was like I think that's when I knew

that continuing to pursue athletics in a competitive fashion which is how the cards for me is when I was more happy about the game getting canceled because I could go do something else than actually being able to play the game. I think that's been a problem with me my whole life. Like anytime something gets canceled, I'm like, yes! Like it could like anything. Like I don't know what. Even if even if you're a kid and you're growing up and you love playing baseball or volleyball or basketball, even if you love it,

isn't it still a little exciting when all of a sudden you're like, man, I had like a game on this Thursday night that I got to go play. And then all of a sudden it's like, I actually fields flooded, canceled. Aren't you, there's a little bit in you that you're like, oh, a little bit in me. I just got opened up a little bit, man. I'm like, dude, I'm just watching TV and eating dinner at home tonight. Like that, at the end, that's all I want to do is just eat and watch something on TV. Like, that's, that's my Super Bowl. That's all I'm thinking about. The most, the most random shit too. Like, when we record at Coach P's, Ben will throw on like the tennis network. Oh.

And you're like, I. It's up there on the screen. I don't know. Sure. All of a sudden, dude. All of a sudden, I went ahead and go to forehand. That's another, the TG origin story real quick is like when me and Ben back then, when we were first doing videos and stuff and we'd be up like all hours the night editing, you know, a 50 second, you know, sketch that wasn't going to do shit. But we'd be up.

and yeah type 59 and like we just have on i don't know yeah m'll be network and it would be like that high heat show what was that called was that what it was ladies and gentlemen please no it's like a baseball pun oh my god what is that called high heat with uh Kevin millar and uh what is that show called you comment below I know people people are thinking about it right now. Thinking of it. MLB show on ESPN. It was ESPN.

It was ESPN. It would do like ESPN but also air on MLB network. And that's why I always found it odd because it would be on MLB network at your place. I was like, Ben's never watched baseball in his life. Why the hell is this on? Hey, but I will. I will just for the hell of it.

Just like for the background. Yeah. And it had like a circus. It had like a circus opening with Kevin, as the ringleader of the circus with that song, ladies and gentlemen, please. Will you bring some attention to me?

Dude, it was it called like unintentional pitch or something, like something like that? Intentional. Intentional talk? Intentional talk. Fun, baseball fun. There it is. It's not an ESPN podcast. No. Intentional talk.

Anyway, yeah, that would be on. Those are the best shows, bro. It kind of took place of baseball tonight for a little bit because baseball tonight wasn't a thing. So I guess they kind of have some weird fun segments we can do here. God, just never forget web gems, dude. Web gems. What a sick name. What a sick name.

Great, great, great. What are you saying, the origin story for that? You were saying something else about, was it just a thing? that show? I don't remember. I don't remember. Yeah, yeah, maybe intentional talk. That's a, that's an origin story. But also, this just goes to show how I always give Ben shit about how he has to be just like different with everything, you know, on his old website instead of home button, it was just called crib. Instead of Twitter, it was follow me, bird. And for his play by play shows for that network that we were on that internet radio network.

We had music beds under the entire show. We had, it was like, so we were like half DJ, half broadcaster where we'd be like mixing in music instrumentals underneath the play-by-play of the high school football game. I thought that was so sick. I was like nobody's ever heard of this shit before. Some like, like, sophomore would get a sack. I'd play like a little John. Like boy, yeah. Well, yeah, you had a soundboard on your iPad, but then also, like, like, like, you know, like,

Like it would just be, you'd be calling the action between like Lawrence Central and Chetard. And underneath the sound of that was the instrumental to blow the whistle. Blow the whistle. Kind of hot. Hey, who's not listening, bro? Who's not listening to that? It's two and one shitarred against three and O Lawrence Central. we're in the worst part of town

but it wasn't the intro it wasn't the intro dude we got 1st and 10 on the 20 near hash Trips right Near hash One back in the backfield bro I could dude I could set up a play dog

I want to tease it for everybody and know that this is a thing that last. It took everything in my entire being, my entire soul not to post about it when one of my homies gifted this to me just randomly. I was like, hey, I knew your birthday was coming up and I got a little popped one night and I just couldn't help but to get this. I wanted to surprise you

with it. I got to know. And I was like, oh, man, I couldn't, I couldn't believe I had it. I had it. I put it on right away. Do you have it? You got it? No, I want to, I want to let this fester a little bit with you and with a clubhouse. So when the time is right, which will be soon,

Well, like, when is the drop date? I wanted to blast it to the world and I want to blast it to my family and whatnot. but I was like I got a I got to have a reveal got to have a grand reveal that nobody cares about but for people and if that but I care a lot yeah that's all it matters let's get to the club house bro I'm trying to think real quick if there's like what the hell went down this weekend I can't think of one thing I did this weekend never can never can besides, yeah, let's just do it. Let's just get to the clubhouse because we got some catching up and deal. These guys, L-O-L, no, team of these guys at gmail.com. Sorry, these guys, L-O-L on Instagram,

these guys, L-O-L on YouTube, and team of these guys at gmail.com.com. This is from a burpee girl, Zunariah. think. I apologize if I am mispronouncing that. Ben, it's spelled Z-U-N-A-I-R-A-H. Zunera? I-R-A-H. I-R-A-H. I think you had her the second time. Zanara. Zanara. Yeah, Zanra. Okay. Topic, sexiest jersey numbers and burpee girls on game day. Oh my God. Says hi, Joey and Benny.

First time email or a long time listener here. Friends and I were talking about the hardest jersey numbers. Here's my top three. 47. You're talking dirty to me there. Two and 11 is just so clean. Oh my God. Three, 27 is just crisp like that.

Can't explain it. When y'all were talking about the girls when a game is on, here are some of the unspoken girl rules I have. Generally, my favorite team is my dad's favorite team. Anything else to sound religious. If the girls are talking about how fine a player is and Humpty's listening, got to pull out the old grown-ups look and switch at the screen. Station cannot know about that one.

But if the guys start talking about cheerleaders, you got the go ahead. Keep it up, you guys. Anyway, slap my ass with one of those middle school gym pancakes. Those beat-up placemat markers. Thanks, Zunera. Appreciate you. Keep emailing in. good call on the numbers never really been a 27 guy that's just that's not for that's not for us that's for

eddie george every time i've seen 27 i'm like dude just that's for eddie george even if it's on like a high school team i'm like okay eddie geez there's never been another 27 in my life than any george but yes yes and that's part of it because of eddie is that like i don't want to see a defensive back in 27. Running back is 27 because of Eddie George. That's that position and it's that player. It's so weird.

There's so many numbers like that. 36. I'm like, come on. You better be a big guy or else it's just not going to make sense. Yeah, you have to be a rumbling, stumbling running back or you have to be a safety that will

head hunt you. 36. Dude Colts preseason Quarterback number 12 I'm like I just don't know if you can do that It's too soon still It's so I mean it's funny Look it had a DB

Was it like Justin Blackman or something Was number 32? I'm like why is Edron James Playing defense right now? Come on You don't see that? Like it's crazy Yeah 11 near and dear to your heart

I know that I love 11 but it really depends on the font of your jersey. It could be 11. It'll always be cool, but some 11s are better than other 11s. It's just like the Miami, like the U,

like the two like just sticks, dude. Oh my God, nothing looked better. Like Sean Taylor, Miami, Ken Dorsey era. Those are the best numbers

I've ever seen on a uniform in my entire life. What about just like some italics? you know, some nice fancy cutting edge italics. Not bad. Like Eagles? Yeah.

Yeah. It's kind of like, yeah. Well, I mean, they're not like slanted on a jersey ever, I don't think. I mean, Steelers have the slant.

Oh, God, they do. They do. Yeah, Steelers, um, Steelers 11 looks pretty good. I like their number fine.

I think I'm the only one left. I can talk number. We can talk about this for 48 minutes if you really want. Yeah, I kind of like the Texans numbers Like the new ones that are like embossed a little bit Like if you if you run your hand at them You could like feel like tealum Yeah

They're not flat The uh See I mean another 11 Gotta be skinny I don't know though man If you have like a defensive end or detackle That's just like a huge dude number 11 Oh my God

Or like those huge dudes that have like numbers that they shouldn't have. I think that's so sick. I see where you come from on a D-end because, you know, a lot of times he has to be like pretty quick, you know,

he could be one of those body types that's really big and tall and like broad, but he's slender, you know? Right, right. Or, but see, I think if like the big fellas up front

on the defensive line are going to go with one of those kind of numbers, they got to just go with like four or like zero. Zero defensive line. Six. Thanks too much sense. Good Lord. That's all I want.

47. That was actually my first football number. That's kind of cool. Linebacker. I think I remember that. Barnabas in a jersey just like that, except it was maroon. Uh-huh.

Yeah, first football numbers. With gold letters. Are insane. So 47's got a little love. It's who you really are, your first football number. Why did you pick 47? I don't think I picked it

I don't know it was fifth grade I think it was like a size thing Mm hmm Did one year we could only pick even numbers I was like this is so weird But okay Hmm We were talking about origin stories

At the beginning there As from Austin He's a he's a clubhouse day one member He says Clubhouse origin bracket challenge It has been done fell It had to be done fellas I attached to these guys

Oregon Bracket challenge. I think this would make a fun poll on the new Instagram account. Any thoughts on seating? Anything I left out? I included my first four out as well. P.S. How tall is Linda Cohn?

Holy shit. That's a great question. She's got to be 5A. He says, look it up now. Surprising, isn't it? So from that, from that I'd say 5.10 and a half.

5.5, bro. Oh, what the, the other way. Little, little Linda. Linda Cone. She's been a dog. I kind of feel like

she's my mom. Is she a real mom? Do you remember that segment they did where she tried out for the Florida Panthers? No. No.

Yeah, they did like a whole thing where she was trying out to be the goalie for the Florida Panthers. I was like, is that just some like, you know, when, ESPN and sports shows, they don't, it's like July

the beginning of August and there's praying for football to start. I have nothing to do. So they're just like, ah, Linda, don't you throw on the goalie mask there, babe? That's the real MVP of ESPN is who's making up the ideas for the summer?

Right now they got 50 states, 50 days. I've watched every single episode just because like it's on. It's not bad. Like they put a lot of time in that. something a little different I want to know all ESPN summer segments from the time we were like 10 years old

because you know there's been some heat Austin so yeah he put up he made an actual bracket and we had the logo on there and everything so you want to guess the one there's eight of them so it's a it's a lead eight here bracket for these guys's origin stories

you want to guess what the one seat is one's got to be station out about this nailed it up one seed station out about this going up against the eight seed

dead air it's a good one man they could knock them off it's a good pull that's a good pull right there because it's been a while since we've really hit on the dead air it's so

so funny okay go down to the south region we got the four verse five seed what are you thinking with the four four's got to be um

damn this is tough goal hitting goal is that the five this is this is pretty this is pretty this is pretty this is pretty tough here this is like a lot of value I think this is like

I don't know when you have a team that gets hot in the conference tournament and um it ends up being like a four or five you're like I think that's a final four run there Austin's got the four seat as

Not bad for a fat guy Oh God They could win They could win Because I mean That's like the first Almost these guys origin story And it's literally

Blue blood It's literally in our Every our end card Hey by the way Colts preseason game Who's calling it Not bad for a pet guy I had it on blast

So I I had I met up and had breakfast with the guy who, you remember Joe Wrights? Yeah. So you're like O-Lyman or something? Yeah, yeah.

I had breakfast with Joe Wrights. And he fills in and does some media stuff for the Colts. And so he called the first preseason game with Rake and on TV. And so we were talking about Rake and he was just this, without me even say anything, he was just like, But that guy is just a pro, just a pros, pro. Like, he'd be talking about something,

recap and a play giving the score and the producers in our ear count down from five and I'm like, he's not going to make it. And then at one, boom, gets us to break perfectly every time. It's like, hey, you know, you don't got to tell us twice, man. We made hats about it.

We know. Four seed, nutbed for a fat guy, five seed drunk chicks. Oh, man. That's a pretty strong region right there. A lot of value in that region. Chicks. Drunk chicks.

So what do you want us to do? I don't know. Just interview some drunk chicks. Like any plan in mine, we'll find as many people as we can to just make sure they're drunk chicks. Dude, we literally walked away. And I was trying not to like, like literally my face was blowing up. And I was like, dude. many times. We knew what was going on during it. We kept looking at each other even being like,

is he really? Is this? You do a good job of not breaking in those moments because I was behind him like, Chilocks. Two seed is hauntie. Two seed huntie. Two seed huntie got taken on the seventh seed. Right, right, right. with the final region being three Daddy's on air and six goal ahead and goal and then the

just four or just missed it first four out sports are my life Jacob Jacob Jacob and any food B

oh my God my like my like friends and like are starting to text me stuff like that how to go B I'm like, dude, can't win them all, B. I'm like, you know.

And again, classic classic, uh, police here and his phone, his dad is just coach P. Oh, yeah. So much better. Cause some, dude, sometimes I'll go to text my dad and I'll type in D and I'm like, why isn't this motherfucker coming up?

And then I'm like, oh, it's coach P. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, man, thanks for putting that together. I like the seating. got a good mix of variety there. You can throw it up on Instagram and see how Clubhouse reacts

and which ones are favorites and how maybe there's a, maybe there's an 86 news out there where people are just like, would you fucking quit talking about Huntie? But we probably will never stop talking about Huntie. So that's,

uh, that's on you, babe. How could we? And this is 86 news. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. And for the listeners out there. Yep, yep. And if you really want to get, if you really want to make it known and like piss people off, you just keep adding U's. Oh, you, you, you, you, okay, A-Y. Okay. You got to tell, you got to tell the clubhouse about the follow up on that origin story where he was, he was trying to. Okay.

I'll try to. I'll try to, um, like, Hey, no names. Tell the story the best. Yeah, best I can without delving too far into it. Uh, so same guy that Ben had the interaction with with, okay. We all worked in the same world.

Like we, we did that internet based radio together, but then also we were all just like radio grunts who would run the board and take each other's shifts and things like that at the station. And so we all had that kind of like, working relationship. And this guy, he is, you know, kind of your more nerdier

broadcastery guy. Just goofy, nerdy, all those things you can think about, right? Right, right, right. And me and Ben had one of our old shows way back when we had this girl

who was in local TV on our show. She's a, you know, she's a TV. anchor so obviously she's a pretty girl and the gay guy he

hit me up one time and he was like asking about something to do with work and I responded and then he texted back and was like oh by the way any chance you could pass along your cohort bank's information

was willing to see if she'd be interested in getting together cohort, dude. Called her cohort. I just sent it. I just sent a screenshot to Ben. I just go, In what world?

Cohort, bro. If anyone ever says cohort, I got to drive my car off a bridge. I just can't. Cohort? Oh my God. I quit. In that voice, too.

Okay. Cohort. Okay. And then we'd be having parties and stuff, like just trying to like do, like, you know. have fun and he don't i think i think i'm coming to the party of the i'd be like you me and you're like man just hit him back we're really we need like we need like four guys

and the rest all girl like we i'm sorry you're just not what we need coming to this party i didn't say no i was like all right bro i'll see you there no no it never turn anybody down at that point you're just but in your head we were just like dude of course like cohort is one to come. Cohort's going to be there. Oh shit. Let's go to Greg Church is the topic here. Perfect.

This has been listening to you guys podcast from the very beginning going through all the episodes. I'm on TG30 where you're talking about having to go to church and it's always the worst possible time. Imagine being me, the kid that had to go to church Sunday morning and night. 425 kickoffs were my kryptonite and if it was a Steelers game as soon as the pastor hits the benediction I was in my car driving home with the game on the radio

and as a kid I had a radio that had TV channels on it so I'd be listening to CBS on radio while driving to night service and my parents always talk to people forever after when I just wanted to be at home seeing the end of the Patriot Steelers game like Joey said always the worst possible timing

where you had to go to church like my mom like mom it's Brady versus Ben church at five baby nope I slept my house with a manning verse Brady at 425 and nance is setting the stage and I'm missing the entire first half dude that just makes me so sad

twice do remember sundays just used to be like Sundays there was so much day in a Sunday it's just not Sundays don't hit like they used to obviously because we're older and stuff but bro the way you get up go to church I would get

Donuts and then it'd just be straight football. It'd be a little bit of homework. It'd be this, it'd be that. It'd be football again at 415. It'd be football. And then it'd be NFL prime time. Oh my God. And then it'd be Sunday night football.

And you just don't want it to end. Got to go to school. Got that weird school feeling. Kind of cry a little bit. And all day you're just like Monday night football though. Dude, Sunday. Sundays were just like, I think that's why Sundays still make me sad. a nostalgic.

Because like there was just so many things that would go down on a Sunday. It's just totally different than every other day of the week. You're just like, oh my God. Overwhelming. Yeah, that's true. And homie was going to church twice. Yeah. Damn.

I mean, I never, it was always just like, man, I'm missing the NFL pregame shows, which made me sad enough. But to think about a Sunday evening like that, see,

I had, I know you probably did too. Do you ever have basketball practice? That was insane. On Sunday night randomly. That's when I knew my life was over. I was like, on Sunday night?

I was like, forget it, man. Yeah, Sunday night. And it'd be like at 7 p.m. like in a different gym. I was like, okay. Holy shit. All right. We're doing this.

I just remember, yeah, trying to hold on for as long as I possibly could to see just another play. One more series. I think we, you know, we got to go. No, we got one more series in us.

Because I wanted to hold on to my football Sunday so badly. have to go do suicides. Sunday night practice was rough. You know everybody there, which is even the coach. Hey, go in, go in when it's light out, come out and it's pitch black. Pitch black.

Suicides till you faint, dude. Going up to the water fountain like, that feeling is terrifying, dude. I go to the water fountain as a kid. You look behind there's seven people in line. You're like, oh my God. Sorry if you heard that. You needed water so badly,

but you literally can't breathe. So as you're drinking, you can't breathe more. You're just like waterboarding yourself. Oh, yeah. Your coach. Couple swallows, man. Couple swallows.

Keep it light. A couple dads outside of the gym listening to the Colts game. 17 cars. Maybe they got, maybe they, maybe one of them was like weirdly in the church community enough where they could like unlock the atrium part and get that little bitch ass TV on. You're like, maybe I can get a, can I get a peek at Colts Broncos real quick? The atrium TV. Kick that thing on, Mr. Solar.

You're like running, you're running plays. Like the last segment of practice, he pops in the door. They're driving on the field right now. 14 left. Holy shit. I'm like, why are we still in here, bro? I know. Hey, he's got some popcorn from the concession stand.

Oh, because him and his wife like volunteer to run the concessions for the whole year. Oh, he's got all the keys. He's got the keys. He's got the keys. He can get a little snack. Yeah. All smack in the atrium TV. Lights are on.

Atrium TV's on. There's like two other guys in there. You can like hear them from the gym. One guy's like, yes! You know, you hear the other high-fiving. Just one clap up. Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's a weird twilight because earlier that morning

you're in the same atrium, getting donuts and it was bright, right after church. Then you come back, it's pitch black outside, can't see anything out the windows. Just been watching pre-game shows all day. Still got science homework hanging over your head. You're like, oh my God.

I don't even care. I got six questions to do in chapter seven, but the Colt are about to win, dude. Yep. Hey, they're driving. They're driving. They got to stop. Yes!

That's a pretty satisfying feeling, though. Like, if you were to, like, it wrapped up perfectly, the timing was right. You know, coach gets you out of there. And then you have, there is, like, you catch the last minute and a half. You got your jacket on over your sweaty, uh, gym clothes and everything. And you get, you like, oh, man, I feel accomplished, dude. Hey, we're watching those last drive. I'm sweaty with a hoodie on.

Fighting with your mom about putting on your sweatpants. Oh my. Dude, seriously. I'm like, I'm not. The fights that I had with my mom, dude.

Oh my God. I beg. It, 12 seconds from here to the car. 12 seconds from here to the car. I know. I still kind of don't. I'm still kind of on our side with that.

I'm like, yo, if I'm like really hot, I'm not putting on all these clothes to get to the, like I'm hot. it'll be equal out fresh air yeah yeah exactly exactly and then like my dad luckily I know I shit on my dad a lot with his different stories about that but like my dad would always you know he'd be like hey you don't got it with sweatpants but just make sure you

have them on by the time we get to the house like if he picked me up you know yeah like he'd be like you're good you're good but like hey back me up a little bit yeah back me up a little bit like just throw them on when we park in the garage and walk in like your mom would be happy I can see what's now as funny is that like my mom, and now they both listen to this. So I'm throwing my dad under the bus 25 years later where my mom's going to be like, oh, is that what was happening, Joe?

You know. Just snitched. Oh, God. Yeah, yep, all these years later. Gotcha. Sorry, pop. It was always me not wearing socks. Like, I'd never wear socks in my house.

Like winter, summer. I was always barefoot in my house. My dad had always. be like put socks on. You're going to catch a cold. I'd be like, I don't think it matter. I can't even feel my feet. And at the same time,

I'm like, I'm just wasting socks, house socks. See, if you're just, if you're just ragging the socks in the house, I'm all good with taking those off, rolling them back up.

And we can get another wear out of those babies. It's no big deal. True, bro. Sox are kind of like jeans in the way that's like, what I really do in these? Yeah. My dumb foot was in this. What did I do?

Run a marathon? I literally walked from the kitchen to the couch 19 times. They're fine. That's no different than wearing sweatpants, Saturday and Sunday when you're just lounging around. Like, you're not washing those bitches. Dude, washing sweatpants. I might as well wash a whole parachute, dude.

It's too much going on in there. Too much stuff. Dude, even when I work out and come back, I said, like, I'm like, these socks still got some sock in them. You know what I mean? Like, there's still a little. For that, for the rest of that day, for sure. Like, I'm not like needed to, you know, but. And it's all about your sock.

Like, how many you got? You know what I mean? When I was a kid, I only had two really good pairs of socks at certain points. So I'm like, Tam, I don't want to put these socks on and then like, do. Because I would do stuff like I would get the mail in just socks. My dad would rip my head off. but I would do it. And I'm like, I don't want to put, see, now I got to take the socks off.

And, like, there's a whole thing. And I'm just like, I don't need to be wearing socks like this. That's where you realize as you get older that, so I'm a big slippers guy. I know your dad's a slippers guy too, right? Or at least some slides or something. I'm this guy, dude. No. I'm this guy.

No. A little slides. Yeah. That's fine. Yeah. But I like slips. I like a little bit of the cushion, the comfy, right? And so that's what that's, that you realize you get older.

You're like, hey, yeah, maybe I'd, maybe I'd, need to run take the trash out maybe I need to get the mail maybe I need to you know take the dogs out back maybe my kid I don't want to put shoes on I want to go barefoot don't my socks get dirty boom you find that solution great but yeah when you're a kid you're like what am I ancient I'm getting slippers my grandfather what the hell's going on dude everybody had those like Indian moccas and one ones though did you have those with the furry inside hey hey hey Steelers logo on the toe but but they were still like Indian or were they yeah it was like It was like the khaki moccasin and it just had the Steelers logo right in the top of my foot.

Moment of silence for those Indian moccasins slippers that everybody had. Everybody had them with the fluffy insides. Oh, in the bare foot in there. Okay, Christmas morning. What kind of, Christmas morning is great, but what kind of pissed me off is like when girls just start wearing them to schools. The hell is this? Is your living room? This isn't a shoe slip.

This isn't a school thing. This isn't a school shoe. This slipper is meant for the living room. him. Thank you. The slippers couch to kitchen. That's it. Maybe you get the mail to them sometimes. Right. Maybe, maybe front door

to mailbox. That's it. God, I love those slippers. Dude, even my dad was rocking those. I was like, all right. These are a staple. Also, another thing, my mom always made me put a shirt on while I was eating dinner.

And that sounds, but we wouldn't have like family dinner ever. We might have done that four times in my life. It was just like me eating a bowl of ravioli at the dinner while like, well, at the table while like no one else is there. And should always be like, put a shirt on. Put a shirt on while you're eating dinner. I'd be like, I'm just going to spill something on the shirt.

Like, I'm going to eat this in four seconds. Like, boom, boom. I don't know. That's fair. It's not a great look. It's not like, it's not a great look. I think the only time that I would ever really do that is like later on. like the house that you come through my parents had the pool like where they you know my

parents would be cooking out or something you're like by the pool sitting on your outdoor furniture there then I'm like yeah like we're this is a pool party I'm you know not throwing on anything for that indoors yeah I know me too don't get me going that house is it don't get me going uh this is from Jake uh this is from Jake subject line video rental store five for five deal I know this isn't a nostalgia podcast, but back-to-school season has me reminiscing. Our local video rental store growing up had an insane deal. Rent five movies or games, any console. Keep them for five days for only $5.

There's nothing better than rolling in there on a Thursday or Friday night from 4th to 10th grade. An example of a mix I'm sure I walked out of in 2001 would have been heavyweights, major pain, one of the major league movies, an obscure WWF pay-per-view, an NFL 2K for Sega Dreamcast. Curious if you could go back, what would your pick five haul be? Slop my ass with a crunch bar from the checkout counter. Oh my God.

That's the thing right there is what kind of snacks? You're saving all the money right there at the 5 for 5 deal. So then what are the snacks going with on top? If we were able to rent movies, I don't think we ever got snacks. That was just a little too much. Because we were already, probably like being bad in the block,

but I'm thinking about Blockbuster. It was like, it was almost like a privilege to go in there for some reason for me. Like, totally, right? Like, so many times,

I was like, like, and you couldn't even contain your excitement. I remember walking in the doors of Blockbuster on a Friday night and I was so high. There was a McDonald's across the street. Like,

we're probably getting pizza. Like, dude, I couldn't even like. The smell. The smell. The smell. The plastic smell.

It was a party in there. There might be a girl in my grade in here. Always risk running into a teacher, though. That was scary, dude. Ew. You see a teacher in real life? Oh. Yeah.

You're an actual person? How quick? How quick do you hide? You see your teacher in Walmart? Dude, all hiding in an entire clothes rack. Yep. Just slide in between one of those shelves and like the home decor section. Just laying in there.

Under the fitting room door. Because I was like, please, like, please don't tell my mom something I did in school or something. Oh, my God. Like, this would be the worst time to get in, like, get in trouble again. All right. So, yeah, Blockbuster, what would the hall be? Dude, honestly, five games in movies is almost too much. Like, that's a lot to, I have trouble beating one game.

ever. Yeah, it depends of what age we would be, but let's just call it like, all right, let's just say you're like nine or ten. Prime. I think I would go a lot.

I'd probably go like four video games and maybe one movie. Yeah. Probably like, I go three and two. Three and two. I don't know what movie I would do. Probably like,

um, like a, it wouldn't be a scary movie. that's for sure. See, what's interesting is that like, you know, because probably a few of my picks at the time would be movies

that I probably already owned. Yeah. You know? Because in my head, I'm thinking if I'm nine or ten, it's definitely most likely going to be like Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison. That's what I'm thinking too,

but I'm like, I definitely already saw those at that point in my life. Maybe it'd be like a, like a James Bond movie or something. I was into that. And there's, There'd always be a new one. Or like a Mission Impossible 2.

I'd be like, oh, let's see that. Like couldn't get Austin Powers because it was like too bad. Yeah. But I was like, I'll get Mission Impossible. A little spy movie? Turn the lights down. Crank the sound up on the Big Back TV. Look at you.

James Bond and Tom Cruise Mission Impossible. I didn't know you had it in you. Yeah, those are my dogs. And then I'd probably go, I'd get like a real sports game like NBA live or something I always bought NBA live like sporadically I never got it like which one Mellow on the front

God that was a hard ass game bro that might have been the best one Who else was on the cover of that Jason Kidd Jason I think I played the shit out of that NBA The Mellow one was my NBA live Because the dunk contest where you could figure out the controls and throw it off the

Jumbotron and then like Mello would do behind the back off the Jumbotron. That was insane. One thing I would never figure out if my life depended on it was how to do that dunk contest. I might have played the reason I did is because Danny Cox and Jordan Reeser.

That's it. They knew how. You always had the friends that were like they just knew video games. It was like a language only they could speak and they would teach it to you and you still weren't good at it but you could at least say I know how. That's insane. because everybody has that friend that's like so good at video games and you're like did you do this like how do you know how you just how are you naturally born of being good at video games that makes

zero sense to me i'm not one of those people i'm like all play but like don't don't be talking shit when you beat me because i don't like i'm not good um this one row i had this one on computer dude the fall off of NBA live needs to be studied like what happened well 2k just took over Oh my God. That Kevin Garnett NBA live. Of course you had the and one NBA live cover. Oh, so dirty.

I'd get NBA live and then I'd like sometimes I'll be like I'll rent it and then maybe I'll buy it if I like it a lot. I'd get that. I'd get like I was into this game called Gauntlet. It's called like Gauntlet Dark Legacy. It's like you pick like it was like an

arcade game. I played it a lot. I knew of it because this is like a stupid. There's this place called Indy Sports Park. I don't know if you've heard of it. But my sister always used to have soccer games there. You know, it's like a big sportsplex, seven basketball courts, one like indoor soccer field. And I would just hang out there.

I would spend half my life there just because my sister always had soccer games. But they had like a little arcade concession area in the middle. And I was like, I would be in there all the time. wasn't playing any of the games, but I was just like watch the demos. Because my mom wasn't going to give me like, like, you know,

10 bucks. Like that's crazy, bro. Only rich kids were playing the games. But I'd like watch the NFL Blitz demo for like literally two hours. And I'd watch like this game called Gauntlet Dark Legacy. And you just pick like a character. One guy had like a bone arrow.

One guy had a hammer. Like, and you just like fight all these little like go in these different worlds and fight all these like little creatures and take over. And there's like magic spells. It's kind of, one kind of hard, kind of a sleeper pick, but I'd pick that because that's like something me and my sister could play too. You know, I don't want to be hog in the. That's just what I was about to say is like I would never have the opportunity to do a five for five all on my own because like, yeah, my parents would want to get like, you know, what Julia Roberts, Richard Geer comedy.

My sister would want a video game of hers, you know, like Kirby or some shit. Like it would be divided. How fun was it when your sister? was hype to play a video game. You know what I mean? Like you don't have that. It's different for you too. It's different for you because your sisters are older and my sister was three

years younger than me. So my sister, she didn't really have a choice. She was just glad to be like included in anything that I was doing. But at the same time she's still like argue for the ones that she wanted. But like yeah, like if I got Lord of the Rings Return of the King and NBA Street,

she'd be like, yeah, let's, you know, I want to play. Because, like, it's, I, my brother's doing it. And that's all we have. And so it's different. But I know what you're saying. At least when you could come together on one. Hype.

Like Kirby did. Like if she wanted Kirby and you kind of like, all right, I won't get this game that week. But let's just like beat Kirby tonight. And so you and your sister have like a like, yo, let's go. Like, yeah, get the popcorn. We're beating this game. Then you play one level and quit.

What about you? What about? about when you, like you said, like maybe your birthday is coming up or Christmas or something. And so you're like, yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to test run this before I put it on the list. Oh, yeah. Yep. Spider-Man on PS2. Oh, man.

Yo, I'm like, I don't know. It might be too hard. I don't know if I want to buy it. Because like a video game for Christmas was like, that's like a big ticket present. It's a big one. Yeah. Sometimes you might Spider-Man, yeah, let me see

what we got going on here. Let me rent it and maybe I'll get it for Christmas. Also, burnout, like racing games. I'm like, I don't know if I want to commit to putting this on my Christmas list. But, yo, renting. That was like me with Tony Hogg Pro Skater. The Codes, Tony Hawk Proce.

I was dialing that in like three years in a row on my Christmas list. I'm like, this is a can't miss. Like I know it's going to be at Target, like Madden and Tony Hawk like every year. God, they're sick. All right. I don't even know. Yeah, the five for five deal.

But yeah, my one would probably be, yeah, if I'm just doing it by myself, it'd be like, uh, probably like happy Gilmore, Armageddon, uh, Lord of the Rings, Return of the King, NBA Street volume two and, um, the, that year's NCAA football. that'd be my five with joey harrington on the cover oh yeah yeah game cube probably yeah that one's always got and that's like you said about your first football number like that was my first football game that i owned and it has a special place so so such a crispy cover uh got two ryan's here we'll go let's wrap up with um i don't get his last name but ryan uh subject line oh come on ref.

Hey fellas, long time listener, second time emailers. The football season draws closer just starting. I had a couple of football questions. I wanted to throw y'all's way. One, with the Jaguars kicker hitting a 70-yard field goal in the preseason, are we slowly going to reach the point where kickers will be able to hit 65-plus yard field goals? Do you think this will take away from a QB2 minute drill at the end of close games? Second question, what is an outrageous amount of money to throw into a fantasy football season?

125, 150, slap my ass with a lightsaber while Benny yells get him chopping at 90 degree August heat after failing my chemistry test earlier that day and I'm dreading telling my parents

much love and keep up the great stuff Ryan. Dreading telling your parents. What a moment. You just don't tell them. Not sports podcast, but yeah, I mean, I don't, I think it's like, at this point

I feel like, hey, introduce if you hit over a six Yarder, that's four points. Right? Yeah. I'm down with that. If you hit over a 60 yarder, it's like, hey, you get the three points and then, oh, you get the ball back. Ooh.

So it's like more enticing for if a team's down by, let's say a team's down by eight or nine or, and or a touchdown even. And you're like, hey, or six. And you're like, hey, you know what? We're going to get the three now. We're going to kick this 64 yarder. And if we do hit it, then we get the ball. back so we can try to do it again. I don't know.

Like, yeah, if they're making these kicks that far on a fairly regular basis, like, let's up the Annie a little bit. What a moment for that dude, though. In a preseason game nailing that? Right. Like, you guys, that's the bitch of it is like, doesn't even count. We'll see you tomorrow. Yeah, that's true.

That is true. It doesn't count. Such a preseason games are just NFL JV games. So dumb. So dumb. Quarterback number 94. But yeah, make them, I like that. I like that rule.

I think that's your onside kick problem, right? The NFL's trying to get rid of anside kick. So it's like, hey, they don't, you don't have to kick it off again. It's just like you just get the ball at the 20 yard line again if you make this 66 yard field goal. Remember the story? I know you've heard it of like John Gruden. There was some weird field position time management thing. And he just had Janikowski kick like an 84-yard field goal.

He's like, I've seen him do it. So like I think that was Lane Kiffin. It was just like I saw him do it in practice Like I guess we'll give it a shot Like that is so funny to me I love Lane Kiffin man

I think it was at the end of the half And yeah like they were like Well we have two seconds So we're just gonna kneel this out Are we gonna send old Janikowski out there For the 73 yarder? That's so Send him out there for the three

If you would have hit that Just like all right I've been feeling it's good That does that does always pop up about this time of the year like early September because it was at the Oakland Raiders

Coliseum and so the baseball diamond was out and so it always pops up where it's like that time when Lane Kiffin trotted out Sebastian Janakowski for the 70 or try and you look dude

and they're like clear on the other end of the field it's such a funny visual they're like the other 20 like on second base or whatever like oh right God I love that just Raiders hey put a

put a baseball diamond in your field right now, please. What if they did it because like turf baseball fields are such a common thing now? Like what if they did just the brown area and turf and the Raiders field? I would love it. Wait, so turf baseball fields, it's not, like in the MLB, it's not like brick dust.

It's just turf? Uh, no. Like most, most big league ballparks are just your traditional grass with with dirt. Yeah. It looks so damn good that it probably could be confused as turf, but like there's some, like there's college

facilities that definitely have at like high school, all these like Grand Park complexes where it's just not. It's turf, but it's just painted in the baseball field look. I think make it brick dust, dude. Like, let's play with the elements.

You know? Remembering like every field had its like thing. Super cold, super high altitude. Like, yeah, we're playing in the Raiders, dude. Our jerseys are going to be like done for. It's so your elbows.

Yeah. Remember when turf would actually beat the shit out of your arms? Uh-huh. Like the astro turf? Like people were really wearing turf tape. Because if you didn't, you were done for it. But now it's like kind of like a style thing, I guess.

And it does still like kind of work. but Randy Moss turf tape. I was like, what do I need to do to wear that? In eighth grade. AstroTurf was just concrete underneath a little bit of carpet. People were so fast. So fast on it. It's insane.

I know you'd never play fantasy football. So like for you probably 50 bucks is an insane amount to put into a league, right? Yeah, I was thinking max probably like 150 if I was really good. Because you don't want to like, because the more money you put in it, the more like, dick takes your life, you know? You blow $500, $300 on a fantasy league. Like, you kind of have to be, like, locked in. You actually have to be a general manager.

That's like an actual part job. I think $150, you can kind of like chill, even though you still kind of want to win, but yeah. That's high end. I mean, I do one every year, and I think ours is like a $75 buy-in. I feel like that's good, you know, because you get 12 guys at 75. like it's a that's a decent amount of change to like make make sure you care because that's my thing is like I'm never getting if there's not enough on the line I'm just not gonna be checking the waiver wires and making the moves like I'm sorry I just for the camaraderie and whatever I get it but like I need to be able to like hey at the end of the tunnel here there might be $500 like okay now we're talking that's insane I'm sure there are leagues where people like blow blow a bag though you know oh definitely

I was thinking, I don't know anything about that world, but I thought 150 was kind of low. Because I know people are so insane about fantasy football and they're all guys that have like good jobs. I'm like, dude, they're probably dropping a G on that. I'm sure, probably, but that's just ain't me. I'm like, okay. Oh, no. Hell no. Hold up now.

For your wife to get mad? Put this on my resume. Imagine your wife knowing how much money you threw in the pot for a fantasy football. Oh, my God. God. Yeah. How much did you? Oh my God.

Oh my. I can't even. But then there's eight Amazon packages that show up your house the next two days. Anyways. That is a thing. That is the thing. All right. Team these guys at gmail.com.
