THESE GUYS! - MARCH MADNESS LEGENDS, TITANS UNIS + POOL PARTIES

Episode Date: March 18, 2026

Imagine being at middle school fball practice and watching a kid in full uniform walk off the field while his dad screams at him. We look back at the absolute chaos of kids quitting sports mid-practice and the sheer panic of going to an end-of-the-year pool party when you realize girls are actually showing up. Plus we debate if a Thanksgiving Eve NFL game ruins the best bar night of the year and dream about a fully NFL-themed restaurant with Terry Bradshaw pouring drinks.📬 *SUPPORT THE SHOW*Hit us up on the email line: [e-mail]🎧 *Listen to the full pod*https://open.spotify.com/show/0DCF4F4r78p0eXiD3fyh2Lhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/these-guys/id1649757408🍻 *Follow us on Instagram*These Guys! https://www.instagram.com/theseguyslolBenedict Polizzi https://www.instagram.com/benedictpolizziJoey Mulinaro https://www.instagram.com/joeymulinaro🧢 *50% OFF ALL MERCH with code BALD at checkout*https://www.benedictmerch.com00:00:36 NCAA March Madness Video Game00:01:51 Spring Break College Basketball00:03:07 Tyler Hansbrough UNC Highlights00:04:17 Kenny George UNC Asheville00:06:03 Best Small Airport TSA Lines00:10:02 College Football Gameday Towns00:14:07 Michigan Fab Five Fries00:17:31 Peyton Manning Hiking Guide00:22:30 Vince Carter Dunk Contest Card00:24:11 Ripping NFL Trading Cards00:26:40 NFL Thanksgiving Eve Game00:27:16 Blackout Wednesday Football00:30:16 NFL Christmas Eve Games00:33:37 Playing NFL Blitz on Thanksgiving00:35:56 Peanut Butter Burgers Review00:38:08 NFL Theme Restaurant Idea00:44:48 Tennessee Titans Throwback Jerseys00:49:21 Sports Media on Twitter00:51:57 Playing Chicken in the Pool00:55:42 Middle School Pool Parties01:00:07 Meeting Weird Dads01:02:37 Joey Porter vs Ben Roethlisberger01:06:48 Danny Amendola Dad Golf Cart01:09:48 Coach Orgeron vs Dan Campbell01:15:12 Kid Quits Youth Football01:18:08 Ritters Frozen Custard01:19:43 Biggest Sports Trade Deadlines

Now it's like Dorel Revis, just like a jam, like a press jam corner. We're just turning everything into like, okay, it's an NFL restaurant, you know what I mean? Not bad for a fat cat. What up, Clubhouse? This is Benny Politsi and Joey Molinaro. And on this week's these guys, we talk about if Tim Tebow worked for TSA at the Gainesville Airport, are the Titans uniforms trash? We realize hot girls always have weird dads. and who would win in a cage match between Coach O and Dan Campbell? Let's start the show.

TG 177. Right, bad, that, that, that, that, that, that. Station, know about this? Good to be back in the saddle on these guys' power hour. March Madness, ramping up. Not a Rashad McCann's podcast, but here we go. that guy was going to be the best player ever. For him on the game,

with the flight little emoji next to him? I was like, God, dang. How does North Carolina have a high flyer every year? I wanted the guy with the flight emoji way more than a guy with the shooting emoji. I know. You could just spin all the way down the court

with Rashad McCants and then do a windmill. I was like... I was like, this guy with the flight emoji, this guy's scoring, you can yam 15 times and he's scoring 52 points. At any time, you could dunk on anybody. Nobody did such a crazy game to play. It ran my life for a long time.

Spring break, sophomore year, all we did was play the game. All we did was play March Madness. So we didn't go on. You did it on, so you weren't going anywhere or you did that in Florida. We went to Fort Myers and just like we didn't really go outside. We were just gaming. Like it was literally the bulk of our day.

It was just in a hotel room with the PS2. Hey, not bad. You know, look outside. Oh, yeah, I got the waves crashing. This feels good. And it was when March Madness was like peak. Stefan Curry Davidson we started being Davidson on the game

he was lighting it up on there then he started to like see players later because you don't have the names on the games you're like who's that guy from Washington State just drilling threes from the corners Clay Thompson the whole time I was like dang you're like figuring people out putting clues together

oh that was that dude yeah remember that really tall guy UNC, UNC Asheville, dude. He was like seven, he was like eight feet tall. He was on there.

Yeah. Not a UNC Who's podcast, but Tyler Hansborough definitely slammed on him. Remember that? Just always had a bloody mouth even on the game. That was,

that was the third Tyler Hansborough highlight that was on the ESPN HD intro was him two, two hands slamming over that seven, 12 guy. Yeah. What was his name like Larry George or something, bro?

I swear. Not a UNC Asheville basketball podcast. Of all the players for you to remember, I'm going to look him up and that is going to be his name, Larry George.

It's something like that. Oh, my. Dude, him with hands straight up trying to block a dunk. It was devastating. You can't get behind him. Keep going. I'm going.

I'm going to look this guy. But sometimes you'd be able to dunk over him and it would be a hype moment. Like noise eviction type of like, like noise coming from our room. Larry George? What's what you? Is it Larry George? Kenny George. On stilts.

Like, like they knew. They knew they're like people figure out the Kenny George thing later like in the video game. Because he had like shot blocking was like. 97 or something. But like who's picking UNC Asheville? You know what I mean? But then there's just like hacks

in that game. Like Davidson, who's picking Davidson? But they got to do that can like shoot from anywhere at any time. It could not beat them. Kind of scared to click on.

Well, first of all, my Google search, UNC Asheville 710 guy. Dude, that was me. I was the last guy to type that in. You know you type something

from Google and you're like, Did I already type this in once? Because that's like how I talk. Yeah. No, it knows everything. We're totally scared. But second thing, second search on there,

I'm kind of scared to check on it. Kenny George, where is he now? Oh, God, they cut his feet off. Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, my God. Dude. Wait a second. Hey, just don't. Just don't. Just don't.

You already know. you already know once I hit a certain height chop them off doc dude okay all right okay let's shift gears here

we'll put the PNG on screen we'll put the picture on screen oh my god yeah put on story sorry everybody I was stuck in the Sarasota airport for 10 hours on Monday and just kind of get back

and so the recording schedule got all messed up. So bummer about it was actually pretty good. Like it sucked, it sucked, right? All travel problems are the worst. Yeah, two kids in there. It's tough too. But I will say when you're at an airport, that's like a Sarasota.

It's kind of like you're just said like a, Yeah, it's kind of like you just have like a grown-up chucky cheese. There's honestly a playground. There's a bar. They got a bunch of snacks, maybe a little souvenir. There's only like eight gates. I love those little airports. Forget a big airport.

Oh, you have Phoenix. Oh, Texas or Austin has. No, man. Give me like Des Moines. Mm-hmm. Dude, I can see all the gates. There's, yeah, there's, there's nobody in line at TSA. TSA is not, like, there's nobody.

You, you, you, you get your bags, you get out of the Uber, you park, drop the riddle car, whatever. You walk through the doors. You have the, all the airlines to your left, and then you look to your right. You're like, that's TSA. There's nobody in line. I know. You get through their TSA and you're like, I could have brought a gun. Like, they wouldn't have even known.

It's like, did they even check? Like the Des Moines Airport at 7 a.m. I'm like, I kind of come through here with a bow and arrow. You guys wouldn't have done anything. It's not so much about that. It's just the fact that like you could, you could show up and your flight would be boarding in 12 minutes. You could show up eight minutes before your flight boards. And you'd be like, yeah, I got time.

I'm good. I could stop and get some Gardettos. Waiting for you at the desk. Are you Mullinero? Yeah, I got to grab my coffee. You want something? Dude, I swear to God. When I was doing Fox, not that station, I probably doing a Fox tour three years ago.

When I was doing that three years ago. Yeah, exactly. When I was doing that, one of our stops was in Gainesville. and so I flew into the Gainesville Florida airport couldn't believe it existed your pilot Tim Tebow how we doing back there hey three gates

bless your heart Gainesville when I kid you not when I got out of my Uber rolled into the Gainesville Airport everybody got off their feet like stood up to start working. I was the first one. They stood up and started like opening up the TSA for

me because I was the first one. I was like this is incredible. I could do any of the bell. I could do some results through here. I could do it anything. It was amazing. The guy who pats you down, major right?

You remember the hit in the Oklahoma National Championship? Right to the chest. Right to the chest. He's like, thought he killed him. He pats you down right here. You're like, hey, we remember when? Nah, never mind. Remember when you set the tone at the beginning?

Nah, never. You always hear about that, don't you? Can I see your ID? Are you? Oh, my God, you're Percy Harvin. They all just work there. Why do I think they're all going to work there when I go there? That needs to be the next version of the Heisman House.

The, like, the NCAA, NIL, whoever, ESPN, I don't care. They need to make it to where all these small college, towns instead of the Dr. Pepper Village, which is great. I love that campaign, but they need to make it go around to all the famous, well-known. I know there's a lot of them. Go around to those small college towns and at the diner at Athens, Georgia, Matt Stafford's flipping your pancakes. No Sean Baranos filling your coffee.

Hey, with the tears out of his eyes or the coffee. He's like, you're picking it up, you know. That's where I was going with it. Hey, that was some DeWade El Brown right there. Way to bring it home. Florida. AJ Green, fixing the light bulbs.

Yes. Please, dude. Hey, Bloomington, Indiana. Tom Coverdale's giving you your rental car. God. I think this is your real job, actually. I would break down in tears.

Hertz. Hertz logo on his shirt. Looking for a place to sit in a terminal? Bob Knight throws a chair at you. You're like, oh, good night. Dude, how are they not doing that? Like, you go to any of those SEC towns in Austin, Texas. It's like a therapy, Matthew McCona, or not Matthew,

Matthew McCona, Matthew McConaughey would be there. Vince Young's your therapist. Everybody's wearing cowboy hats. Oh, my God. The Georgia Diner, dude. Oh, my gosh. Oh, please, Lord. I'd eat in there every four seconds.

That's the theme. It's like, I don't know. The ESPN theme for the year is like, there's no, there's no place like college game day. Home is where game day is. And every town, they're all working in there still. They're back there. Georgia

Michigan State Bookstore Just got my finance book, dude The guy who checked me out At the counter Jeff Smoker I don't know he was still around Who's that one quarterback they had That was like honestly pretty good

We know. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That is damn good, dude. God dang. Trying to think. Like, Ann Arbor,

the Fab 5 is doing something. I don't know. I don't know if they're even allowed back in there. Jalen Rose doesn't have hair though. They're like Fab 5 style. Silky jerseys. They all have black socks and long shorts. Yellow, bro.

Michigan basketball is so maze. It's not even funny. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. No, it's like instead of five guys, it's called like fab fries, just like a greasy spoon joint. And yeah, they're uniforms, their uniforms they're wearing there while they're making shit. They're serving all over. Silk.

Late night, flipping patties, dude. Juan Howard has one of those like chef hats on. He's like, order for 58? Like, why is, I think everybody listening to this was thinking Joanne Howard would be the one that would have. have the hat on. So tall in the back. Like line cook calling shots, bro. Jalen Rose on the register though.

But like, Juan Howard's like handing the food like, yeah, this is a 58, get it to him. Like he's like in the back. Like really making moves. Pulling tickets.

Now I'm just racking my brain. I'm not frozen. I'm racking my brain of other college talents and what they'd be doing. I'm still thinking about the Michigan. Fab fries, dude. Chris Weber needs to take a time out.

He's like, hey, bro, I got a, and they're like, no, you're on the clock still. We don't have any timeouts, dog. Like doing all the things. It's super, super busy. It's super busy. Chris Weber. No, bro. No.

Oh. Not again. Damn, man. Cuts to Ohio State. Cuts to Ohio State and Columbus. Fuck, what they'd be doing. Just like a Jim Tressel sweater store. just nothing

Should we should we do a little Should we do a little see how far we can go back With Heisman winners Oh we're recording every time who knew oh wait I thought of another one

Knoxville Tennessee hold on Knoxville Tennessee Peyton Manning is like a hiking guide they're going up on the mountains and shit oh my god so now you see here this is what the orange

this is where it really came from what we became the volunteer you see this is the orange that we saw in the mountain here that's our Bush expert right there before we go up there everybody has to say let's get a Rocky Top song chant going all right let's get it going

nice that'd be so good there's a guy up there that's like their expert when it comes to like bushes and shrubs Eric Barry he's like don't eat this one I'm sick with that you're going to hire Eric Barry

just comes out of a bush. Ah, it's like he's going to drill it. He's like, no, no, no, these are actually poison,

Barry. Not poison, poison. He's, he's hitting it. He's hitting him. Or it's just something real. It's something,

you know, Peyton is to leave the charge. He's got the boots on and everything. And that's where he says, no, if you have any questions about any of the berries, here's our specialness. And they cuts it right over, a quick cut over to Eric Barry.

And he just has one. And he looks at the camera and he's like, that's it. That's all it is. Got the whole thing on, though. Who, Eric Bear is The college safety. Anyway,

Pate's like, so we have a few different options. You have any questions about how much it costs? Here's my buddy, Peerless Price. I didn't even want these guys to get to be like a stadium tour podcast. I just want one of these companies to hire us to come up with the entire campaigns. for their marketing.

Please, God. So far on this show, so far on this show, Johnson, we've come up with Fox Infel Sunday, breaking into your house and like, you waking up to them

with Terry Brattschall naked in the kitchen. We've come up with NFL, NFL Airlines, which I've had multiple people in public come up to me and be like, Dude, these guys are like, yeah, hell yeah, man. They're like, NFL airlines. When's that happening?

I'm like, thank you. Thank you. It's a thing. We had one more recently, too. Do you remember? I'm trying to figure it out. Things we've, like these guys' inventions. These guys.

Kind of, but it's like kind of like, it's kind of like, it's kind of like in this realm of mixing, like the highs, like mixing in athletics and sports into a commercial that would make us want to watch that or like get hype for college football. That's our specialty. We have a real,

we have a really specific niche, but I think we really knock it out of the park. Yeah, it's not a sports podcast. That's the beauty of it, you know? Imagine if it was. All the, all of the, the women listeners. That's the best part.

Speaking of the women listeners, I had this quick, quick little segment that I wanted to try to do. We could implement it every other week or whenever. I don't know. But I was just thinking

it's the clubhouse card of the week. So I, you know, I dabbled in cards. I was excited for that. Did as a kid. I dabbled in cards during COVID. And then now I've started to pick it back up a little bit more. All my algorithm is centered it to me.

My neighbor across the street, he's got young sons, and they're like really into it. So he's getting me back into it a little bit. It's fun. Anyways, my dad brought over a whole bunch of different cards of just so clubhouse, just, you know, random from like anywhere from like 1992 to like 2006. of card collection that I had. So I was like, yeah, just throw it, you know, whatever,

but whenever I see fit, a clubhouse card of the week. You ready for this? Mm-hmm. Just random? Oh, let's see this. What is it? Who is that? Vince Carter.

Oh, Lord. Vince Carter in the dunk contest, slam dunk. Get a better look at that. Jam show. Is that what that says? one-handed windmill starting behind backboard slam show from 2000 I don't think I would even be touching that if I were you bro score 49 look at that clubhouse right there get a good look shiny

and best part all the all the all the card folks out there will now seven out of ten there's only ten of these bad boys so you found you found my thumbnail for this week Throw it in the sleeve, dude. Get that thing out of your hands. It's got to be your best card, right? It's got to be your best card at all time. Man,

those contest, Vince Carter? Yeah. It's a little different. This is the second dunk, the 2000 dunk contest. It says on it, like I said, one-handed windmill starting behind backboard. Score 49. And it gives a rundown on the back.

But it's seven out of ten. So numbered 7 out of 10, only 10 of these bad boys. And I had to show it off tonight. But I got some, you see the, you see the shininess there, the colorful there on YouTube. It's a holographic. I'll put it in the sleeve. But I want to start off strong. I want to start off strong.

I want to get it in the thumbnail. Want to potentially put it in the description, you know, because it's everywhere. Did you ever collect cards? As a kid, yeah. Indoor recess, second grade. Became a whole, became my whole life. Bring my binder into school Not for school

Sleeves Dude nine on each Crazy That's up there That's up there with best sounds Yeah And those sleeves Full of cards

Slap Oh First two pages Locked and loaded Last two pages Who are they? Starting to stretch a little bit Cool right

You start You start talking to yourself into a few things there. Yeah, I like that guy. I remember I had a John Lynch Buccaneers. Could not talk anybody. I was like, John Lynch, bro.

My friend was like, dude, John Lynch. Like, you need better cards. I was like, damn, I kind of like John Lynch. Whatever. Nobody cared about John Lynch, except me. I would have traded you. If you came up with a good enough trade, I would trade you.

So anyways, it's a hobby I've been back, and forth on, back in on it now, trying not to go crazy and spend money. I almost sent a few of you because it's fun to obviously buy the packs and rip them as they say and go through them and see what you get. That is really fun and like an adrenaline rush. But at the same time, like a couple of my buddies, my neighbor or this other buddy of mine showed me that, hey, guess what?

You can just go to eBay. I was looking up like Eddie George autograph cards and it comes with like the certificate of authenticity, like all the real shit. I found a few for like $25. I was like, I'm going to go bankrupt buying every Eddie George autograph card. Yep. Navy pants, white jersey. Oh.

Plug mouthpiece. Dude. So sick. Is your phone charging? I can't tell. Sorry, dude. Just my laptop. I don't know what's going on.

There we go. But Jesus Christ. Always something, Johnson. Always fucking something. God dang Anyway so Clubhouse Card of the week right there Vince Carter 7 of 10

Slammed Down Contest 2000 What else do you want to get into here Should you do some Mel's best Should you do some dripping or tripping You want to start with some dripping or tripping Let's hop into that So seg we came up with a while ago Dripping or Tripping

Pretty much thumbs up Thumbs down I knew I knew Bro right when this came out on ESPN NFL is trying to do a game on Thanksgiving Eve is that what it is? You down with that? Dripping or Trippin NFL game on Thanksgiving Eve? You know, I think I'm going to go with tripping.

I think while on the surface you look at it and you're like, damn, yeah, dude, you're waking up the next Sunday. Wednesday, we know it's well established on this podcast the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. I mean, that's up there and days of the year. Peak day. Yeah, peak day. So you look at it, you're like, yeah, dude, who doesn't want to watch Bears Eagles on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, you know? But at the same time, I'm like, I kind of take a step back.

There's just some things that are sacred. Taking that shine away. Yeah, it's taking the shine away. You got three games the next day on Thanksgiving. You know? Yeah, it does take away that. like, new,

is it a noon kickoff on Thanksgiving or something? It's like, 12.30. Yeah. Like 12. 30, 4.30, 8.30.

For some reason, that one feels good. Oh. When you watch that Thanksgiving game at 1230, it's like, I feel like I just haven't watched football forever.

You know? Like, this is a pure football game right now. So if you're coming off of the Wednesday night one, and then at the same time, I'm like,

that Wednesday night before Thanksgiving is for three things. things. No particular order. But these three things are what it's for. Hanging out with your family, getting food ready, having the smell of seven layer and fudge from your mom's baking happening in the kitchen while you watch, while you watch Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and have it on when you're just like,

hey, your feet? Smell, you can smell seasoning. Oh, cinnamon everywhere. Turkey's in the oven. Turkey's been in the oven for seven months for some reason. You're just like, it's happening. All right. That's number one.

Number two, obviously is for getting together with everybody. Getting together with the high school friends. Your boys, your boys haven't seen in a while. The hunties out there who can't ever go out, but somehow they get out on the night before Thanksgiving. People who are back in town, your cousins, go get drinks. Go do that. Putting the fit on.

And three on top of that, it's for feast week, man. Four. Drunk Chukes. Forget about that one. Yeah. Four things. Four things. It's a national holiday for drunk chicks.

No. Dude. You can't have Al Michaels the night before. Al's, y'all's pissed. Al doesn't want to be there. I can't wait until they actually do the game and we're both watching it. It's so excited.

Oh, for sure. Yeah. That'll be the first live stream we do as these guys. Because, hey, hey, because you know it'll be the Steelers. You know they're throwing their ass on there. They always. Steelers play on every prime time holiday slot. I'm like, what do you know?

What do you know? Is there a game on Christmas Eve? They try. I mean, there wasn't last year, but I think they're going to try to. They're doing it on Christmas every year now. Oh, yeah. I mean, that has to happen.

But Christmas Eve night game, oh, Colts Vikings at one time? Yes. The most Christmas game ever. Prime Paid Manning, prime Randy Moss, Christmas Eve. I swear I got that game ended at 2 a.m. I was like, this is Christmas Eve.

Not a local podcast, but yeah, why is that? That is the game I always go back to around Christmas time. Such a heater, bro. The Vikings and Colts don't play each other ever, and they're just on Christmas Eve like that? Monday night? I don't remember. I was like...

Because, like you said, they don't play each other that much. It was kind of like, I don't know. Like, it's kind of a barometer test for the Colts. And then they beat the shit out of them. I was like, oh, dang, the Colts might actually be really good. Oh, yeah. And tomorrow's Christmas, by the way. The hell?

I think I got a Colts coat for Christmas that year. Like, it was like majority of it was black and then there was blue. First thing I saw when I looked down the stairs. What? Wow. Like, I didn't even ask for that Colts coat. Going in the snow with that, yo. Gives you all the warm and fuzzies.

All the warm and fuzzies inside. Yeah, but that's the thing. When you get like a cool coat, like, you think you're going to have it on in the snow. Like, you're going to, I'm, I'm be looking all good. You always have, like, red pants on an orange hat. Nothing matches, you know? None of your snow clothes match. Yeah, when you're in, like, fifth grade, I mean, what are you going to do?

Yeah, true. But I was like, oh, dude, I'm going to have a fit out there in the snow. My dad's boots on. I was like, what am I? What I do it? So are you on the tripping train as well for that? Yeah, I guess. I was dripping before you said that, but I'm kind of with you on.

Let's just watch the lions, dude, at noon. I don't need something to spoil it beforehand. Right, and again, like, I think I was the same way. When I first was like, oh, damn, yeah, who's not going to be hyped for that? One of the best nights of the year. But then the more I thought, I just laid out all the reasons right there. Just there's too much other stuff. You got so many other days that are committed to football.

Like, sit there with your brother and sister and your parents and throw on planes, trains, and automobiles. And just, like, be a family for a night. Get to the football later. Play a card game. Yeah, dude. play uh what's that one with the play an NFL card game hey open some NFL cards or something

be a family just doing all NFL stuff instead of watching the game rip some packs come on rip some packs get serious all right I got dripping and tripping for you some madden play some NFL blitz throw it back it's it's for nostalgia

with your family Don't watch a football game. Just play Madden with your dad. Same exact thing. Your sister. She comes home. Hey, hey, so good to see you. Where's Joey and Dad?

They're in the basement playing NFL Blitz. Well, she moves over a casserole to the oven. That would honestly be so sick. You guys are so into it playing NFL Blitz in the basement while like your mom's cooking something upstairs that you're standing up. That's when you know you're like locked into a game

when you're standing up playing it. You can smell the Thanksgiving in the air. You're like, God, dang. Hey, are we getting pizza? I don't know, is there a game on? Now you're asking all the questions. Because they're A, is there a college game on on Black Wednesday?

or Black Wednesday. Is it Blackout Wednesday? Yeah. There's probably a Mac game. Yeah. Probably like Ohio versus Central Michigan's on somewhere. Can't miss that. Now that I'm cool with.

Yeah. Central Michigan? Oh my God. Thanksgiving Eve. So much lower stakes. The crowd is empty because people's like, you know, like everybody's back on break. get the few brave soldiers stuck around.

That's the game I want to watch the most when there's like 13 people in the crowd and bowling greens playing. I'm like, God, turn it up, dude. Holy. That's some comforting. That's on par with Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving. That can be on.

I'm cool with that. But if you got Al Michaels and Herbie at Lambo the night before Thanksgiving, he's like, does this the freaking Super Bowl? What is going on? You feel like you have to pay attention like hardcore. Right.

Stop holding my family hostage. Want to watch Ball State. All right, I got a, I got dripping or tripping for you. Dripping and tripping. Peanut Butter burgers. Mm. Are they coming back? Because they were, they were going hard there.

2008 peanut butter burger at Scotty's Brewhouse? Yo. Not a local pod. Yo. change the game up on them I thought that was the craziest thing I ever saw on my entire life peanut butter for real

yeah yeah yeah hey you gotta eat it upside down what I forgot about the upside down first the peanut butter and then you got to eat it upside down oh my God what's next dude I gotta shave my head before I walk in this place

Lord I think I just Honestly man I don't think I've tried it Because I think I would definitely know If I've had that before And I can't really remember So I don't think I've had it

Does it change your life? Wait wait wait hold on Before we get into it You've had it Yeah And did you have ketchup on that? No Condiments

The peanut butter does the talking No, I mean, not necessarily. I've had a few different variations of a peanut butter burger where I'll have like a peanut, it'll be a cheeseburger, peanut butter, pickles, get a little savory and sweet in there. Do cheeseburger peanut butter with like a jalapeno jam? Get a little heat kicking in there with the sweet of the peanut butter. Jam?

Bro. It was just a peanut butter. and jelly with a burger and cheese on there? How many of our favorite things can we combine? Yeah, dude. All right. So I think you have it answered. I think you have an answer.

Is Bill Cower serving it to us? What else do we need? Now it's like Dorel Revis, just like a jam, like a press jam corner. We're just turning everything into like, okay, it's an NFL restaurant. You know what I mean? Who's the host when you walk in? Chris Berman, dude. You're walking to your table.

He could. Go. Go. Hey, hey, it's like the Dick's Last Resort place, you know, where they have the waiters that like on the spot come up with all that shit. Chris Berman has to on the spot come up with a nickname for you like you would for Andre over the moon rising. or whatever the fuck it was

wow who's not going to that man NFL restaurant hey hey hey hey who's the bartender who's a bartender who is it bro I thought you I thought you had somebody

Terry, I didn't ask for a double. The craziest stories, none of them are real. Hey, the waitress, that super hot shake from Fox back in the day that they used to have, like, do the weather. Aaron Andrews? What? No, no. Oh, yeah. Oh, really back in the day.

Really back in the day. Before like Frank Calliando's segment. Yeah. I was always like, why the hell are they doing the weather? Who gives the shit? And I was like, oh, the girl's like the hottest person I've ever seen. Yeah. Now it all makes sense.

everything in our world just ends up being the Fox NFL kickoff show go ahead there's your two top right there go to your table the table's just Howie Long's head that thing's not lopsided baby flatest table of all time but also all tables howie long's head also howie hey hey hey hey the doorway Michael Strayhan's teeth every door every door always is two teeth you're walking through him

oh god but but also howie howie long is like the he's like the manager like the owner that like comes around and like said you know hey how's the meal going everything good you know checks in on everybody

Terry's too crazy Gronks too dumb, you know, like Bill Cowher's washing the dishes downstairs for sure. Just keeping everybody in line. Joey Porter is a bus boy just so Bill

Cower could just, Joey, Joey! Dude, the busboys, Busboy's Jerome Bettis. Dron Bettis. Steelers bar. plowing everybody over to get to the dishes. And to bring you your ketchup, Heinz Ward.

Oh, God. If he came up, if Heinz Ward came up, if Heinzward was able to bottle of ketchup. Oh, my eyes would pop out of my head. My tongue would unravel. Oh, shit. That's too good. What do you guys want to eat?

The. The Raffles burger? Yeah. Like, obviously. Oh. You still thinking of these or no? Yeah. Are we still going?

Uh-huh. Trying to. Yeah. It's all right. It's all right. We can. We can do this all day. do this all day at four

hey they're open for they're open for breakfast too they open early on game days for breakfast the most popular dish the mean Joe green and Jack and Jack ham eggs Mean Joe green eggs and Jack ham Omlet

My dad would get that in four seconds God dang it So so already They already know NFL Airlines NFL Restaurant

Hey all their All their They have their own like hot sauce It's just called Famous Amos's Amos Airway The name is for our hot dogs

Above us Franks Yeah, Yeah, the famous Amos sauce is, it's real famous, because it's got 21 ingredients. All right. You can spit them out, whatever, but. Should we do more, we got another dripping or tripping, or should we do Mel's best? What do you want?

I was going to say Titans uniforms real quick. Drippin or Driven Titans uniforms. What do you think? I'll I'm going to falter towards trippin. Okay. I'm going to falter towards dripping, actually. I'm going to fall. If we're on a scale right here,

I'm right in the middle. I'm teetering over to dripping because, simply because of the colors and how they're getting back to finally having a regular oiler feel to them without having to just straight rip the Houston Oilers uniforms. I always thought that was weird. Lots of it made it like JJ YWa made a lot of that. I think it's totally fair. Why the Tennessee tight, they disbanded.

Like they literally moved away from Houston to start their own Tennessee tights. That makes no sense. But I get that it's the kind of their origin story, if you will. And they're just such great colors. I mean, it's like, you know. Yeah. That color blue with that red, like you can't go wrong. So teetering on dripping because of the colors and they got back to it.

but really my heart is saying tripping because like we talked about those Eddie George Titans man with the flame and the Navy and the baby mix oh tough yeah I like I like I like that they're like pretty clean uniforms but I think it's tripping because like they're not the Oilers like they're the Titans like just be the Titans dog That's true.

Like you're going to have all the throwback. Be the oilers again then if you're going to do all that. But you're like that there's nothing on their uniforms that's like Titans. Like why are you guys the Titans and you have guitar strings on your shoulders? Like bro. Flames. Titans, dog. You're gods.

I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. Yeah. Like you guys should be like the Tennessee blues or something like that if you're going to like do all the. Yeah. All the Broadway. Yeah. And maybe it's like the kid nostalgia in me,

but the flames were like the coldest part of that uniform. Like when I saw that for the first time, Navy red and oh, light blue flames. I was like, yeah. It's gone. It's gone.

But sad. I will say, I think we have to look forward to in like 10 to 15 years. That was what official. be the throwbacks. And Frankie is going to, it makes my heart swoon that Frankie is going to grow up

in high school, probably, middle school, high school, seeing the Titans, seeing the Tennessee Titans go back to the Eddie George Titans. That'll be great.

We're in the player, like in the retro, you know? Uh-huh. You know, he's got the red baby gronk Titans jersey. I'm just kidding.

Shut. That, hey, that'll be a quick, not my house, Sean. That'll be quick one right there. Baby, grong, jersey. That's some shit you do. I'd buy it. Show up to a football party with that custom made. Baby gronk, Titans jersey?

I'll get on it right now. Baby gronk on the back? What up? Stupid, dude. So stupid. Oh, God. Okay, yeah. Triben, I think, for me.

What a segment. Yeah, a little bit off the rails, but that's how it goes on the show of guys who don't take themselves too seriously. Every sports radio show. Come hang with a couple guys who don't take themselves too seriously. Just want to have a good time.

Maybe an ice-cold beer. And oh, by the way, a little bit about what the Colts are going to do. Every radio show. show, every sports radio show. Two guys don't take themselves too seriously. The second a guy with 42 followers on Twitter says something to them about how dumb they are, that get into a battle with them.

Okay, don't take yourself too seriously, huh? Got it. Oh, my God, dude. Nailed it. Yeah, we like to have fun. Oh, okay. Those radio guys are, like, them and Twitter is just absolutely insane. They will respond to every reply.

I'm like. Really them and just any social media. Like just still not having any kind. This is some nerdy shit. But like you're a media personality, like a public personality, then you still have no grasp of the difference of what should be a post and what should be a story. Are you serious? That'll always send me back, man.

I just want to comment sometimes. should have been a story. Like, come on there. What are you doing, man? The grass. There's like some people, right, there's some people in the clubhouse. And that's fair. They'll be like, yeah, I mean, whoa, you guys are grown men talking about social media.

And like, okay, that's fine. But like, when it's your job, like, know the difference, bud. No the difference. You just see somebody to be like a post. We don't need to see a screen recording that you press play on that gets cut off because it's vertical and you just post it on your VDoc. A post? Like how do you, wow. So you don't feel anything after you post that?

You're just like, let it fly, babe. Hey, this one's it. I'm doing my digital. I'm doing my. That's all of them too. Yeah. I don't want to do any of that shit. I don't really know.

I just, you know, I'll put it out there on the Twitter or the X or whatever they're calling it. Dude, just fucking pick one. You know, just pick one. Could have been a story. God. Let's get to emails. We'll do Mel's best next week. We'll come back to that.

But like Swim It was eh You need a volleyball Kickball What I feel like kickball Was a big I remember kickball

In the yard What started happening That was That was something That was something That could Kind of merge Merge the world

You used to do this at recess Like you didn't Just have recess Like four seconds ago Like Dude Like Something

Go ahead just the amount of sit-ups I would do before that literally literally do 280 sit-ups at my house before my mom dropped me off

at Danny Allen's just on the living room floor old Navy swim trunks Navy blue with like flowers on them because I was like this is what they're wearing in the pictures

yep sandals on weird toe like fungus on the bottom my foot. Let's get it. Let's get it. Can't eat. I'm trying to look good. Can't eat starving at this pool party. Just praying too that like, well, because once the dad started showing up, that it was like, it's all done. You have a few of the cool moms, you know, you're like,

all right, yeah, they brought them. Thank God. Maybe they're going to hang around a little bit. That's cool. Their moms are enjoying it. They're digging it. They know it's going down. Second dad come homes from work, dude, or like comes to pick the girls up, see ya. I kind of like a dad, like when a dad would hang out and be like fun dad during those situations, I was like, okay. He's kind of talking ball with you a little bit. It was always, no, it was always, from my experience, it was always a dad who was like, you're like, I do not want to mess with that, dude.

Kind of scared of him, really scared of them, actually. Or it was a dad that would show up and you're like, Like, that's her dad? How? Oh, no. Where did this guy come from? That's a wild, like, eye-opening moment when you'd see some girl's parents for the first time and you're like,

what? That's her, no way. Did her mom die and that's her aunt or something? You know? The first time you saw even your friend. Brent, your homie's parents. That's your dad. What?

How does that make any sense? You're like taller than him. Like your dad doesn't look exactly like you and your mom doesn't look exactly like you. I'm like blown away. I'm like, the dad of the girl who would pick up the group of like eight girls that were all going back to the same house. This dad probably already has like three or four kids that are older, you know? So he just totally checked out.

Doesn't give a shit. And you can tell. He shows up. got like a Tommy Bahama shirt on, hair everywhere old. You're like, probably lives in the biggest fucking house too.

You're like, cool. So are we like, you said that they're the house that we can sneak over to. Like, is this happening or? His name's Clark. He looked it up in the phone in the family directory.

No, dude, every girl, every dad of every girl I knew growing up's name was Doug. all of them I was like can we mix a James in here

what the fuck's going on just anything JIM first one first one on the directory okay looking at their names was so funny that's his mom's name

mom's name's crystal no way she smoked cigarettes okay she's a hairdresser She's a hairstylist. All right. We're sneaking over there.

Stupid. Let's go to Nolan. Nolan says, Bin Rothesberger and Joey Porter, kiss already. Fellas, second time, long time. Just want to see how you guys feel about the Big Ben, Joey Porter beef. I can see it from both sides

But overall I think it's amusing to say the least The Steelers drama never ends Love you boys David De Castro Maybe the most forgotten yet elite Elignment of the 2020 Dude You're speaking my language bro

Sick name David DeCastro So he was double D And then he was 66 Just malling people And he was like Steelers dog Yeah

I knew I was going to offend you with that one. He just like, just the atypical, like what you want in a, and a, in an, oh, and a, and a, and a, and a guard. Like, never said a word, did the media that he had to do. Just went out there. Always healthy. All just mauled people. Just, like, did his job, dude. Like, the prototypical guard, David DeCastro.

Where'd he go? Stanford. Ooh. Does he have a, is there another. Does he have a brother or something? Is he just... He blocked for Andrew Luck. He was teammates with Andrew Luck in college.

I don't know. I don't know if he has a brother that plays football or anything. So there's beef between Joey Porter and Ben Relsberg? Yeah, Joey Porter went on Kim Harrod's podcast and at the Super Bowl. And he was ripping on Ben for... He didn't like how Ben, like, had something to say or had an opinion about Mike Tomlin

maybe not being the head coach of the Steelers anymore so I'm like well Joey would hate me but then he got into like some real person like he got into he was taking some digs at Big Ben and like pretty being pretty ruthless about it like yes he put over here the different legal and accusations

that were held against Ben that came against Ben in the early 2000s whatever. But the thing that got me with it is that in December, so less than like two months before, Joey Porter, Sr. and Ben Rathesberger and Marquis Pouncey all went into the Steelers Hall of Honor together. They were in the same class. So they had a whole weekend celebrating those guys. They all got honored the same night. They all got, they had a big celebratory dinner and event and they honor it the game together.

And all you see then is Joey Porter shaking up and hugging and smiling and talking with Big Ben and all this. Then like a month and a half later, he's going to go and do that, blast him publicly like that. Like that didn't sit well with me. Just like how he went about it.

I'm like, if you had that big of a problem, Big Ben already said what he said about Mike T. And like if you want to confront him about his legal problems from 2008, then like do it right there, dude. Don't don't. don't pull, you know, big Joey Porter run your mouth on a podcast. Like, you had your opportunity. So that was weird to me.

But, I mean, you know. Just so Joey Porter, dude. Set it aside, like, you know, love those guys. Great memories with, you know, watching them play on the team that I root for. So have both their jerseys. So, you know, I'm not going to not. going to pick one side or the other, I guess if you will, but it was just like, why are we doing this?

Just like, either can pull them to the side of the Steelers' Hall of Honor. Pull them to the side of the Steelers Hall of Honor weekend and you guys have a chat. Or don't do what you did. I don't know. So anyways, Ben stopped listening

four minutes ago. So we're going to go on to the next email from Dustin says, Danny Amandola's dad. Hey guys, love the Stayed you know about Danny Amadol's dad getting hit by that golf cart? I'm not sure if you guys have already talked about this. I was curious on what you thought of the time that Danny Amadilla's dad was coaching high school championship game at the Cowboy Stadium.

After the game, he was doing an interview when some unnamed, unmanned golf cart came barreling through and plowed over him in a bunch of reporters. He hung onto the cart and steered it for a little bit, then bailed and did this sweet little roll when he hit the turf. articles reported no major injuries dude I don't remember that so random dude he could make that up and we would be like no way well he sent the link on YouTube so pull it up here

it's just a happy yelmore scene when the dude hits him with the car he said runaway golf card bowling at Cowboy Stadium is the fucking 1.1 million views here we go Disturbance down in the field

Yeah Oh dude What a play by him He does He gets his legs taken out from underneath him He's sliding over the top of it And as he's doing that He grabs the wheel

Oh maybe I did see that Maybe I did see that Pretty awesome Pretty athletic Pretty like presence of mind right there I wouldn't expect anything else From Danny Amandola's dad Sports Center top 10

plays. He wants to know, would you guys have tried to stop the golf cart or just froze? Like while we're in position, like while our hands are on the wheel? Danny and Madole's dad style. I guess while we got blasted by the golf cart,

yeah. I would just lay down and pray to God that thing ran over me. Fix my back. No shit. Danny Mendole's dad. I'm like, come here, come here. I hit the deck. good to go

hell yeah Guns up Stick your foot out Please please run over my foot Mr. Amandola Just right before the Cowboys tunnel Like where he's about to go in Just leg out

Please run over my foot Please run over my foot And it's like a golf cart tire Oh that'd be the perfect amount of weight Yeah That little hey Hey, that's like one of those, it's not the big intimans donut. It's just the little tiny poppers that they have.

There it is. Yeah. No damage done, baby. Snacks size. Have you ever had anything weird like that happen out of practice or a game? He says, appreciate you guys. P.S. No other coach is beating Coach O in a wrestling match. I think Dan Campbell would like a word.

Ooh, wow. Like, dude, if they put that on pay-per-view, that's beating every Jake Paul fight. Those two coaches fighting in a cage match? Hey, they do that before the Hall of Fame game in Canton. Just. Both of them doing that weird wrestling thing. They both have singlets on.

Coach O's wearing like the blob mask from Billy Madison, like one of those wrestling ones that goes over half your face. So many moms tuning in. Yeah. I mean, Coach O, he's got that, I mean, he's got that Louisiana, you know, I mean, but also the same time, Dan Campbell's got the Texas in them. So either way, there's some crazy. It's a great battle.

It's a sick battle. They'd fight forever, man. That things end in 7 a.m. Coach, I would just be too greased up. I don't think Dan Campbell could get his hands on him. Coach would be too sweaty and greasy. He'd just be slippery. Too much, like, sun tan lotion on him?

Coacho. Yeah, have you had anything like that happening at a game? I can't game or practice. The only thing that's ever happened at a football game that I can remember in my entire life, including plays. everything was when Kevin Bonch's dad

pushed a guy down the hill what do you do what I need to set the scene here the hill at St. Luke bro not a local podcast not a Catholic podcast there's like a right after St. Luke's field there's like a like goes like pretty steep

bitch and I was always thinking playing on that field like, yo, if I get pushed out of bounds right there, like, it's gone down. It's a wrap. It's a wrap. And I always thought that one time my sister's like, you know, Kevin Monch's dad pushed a St. Luke dad down that hill one time. I was like, yeah.

That's a dad you want on your high school football team. You know what I mean? Like he's in the stands. Like he's all about it. Yep. Yeah. He's wearing the Michael Myers mask. That's for sure.

push some dad down at Hill Oh my God So if you don't want to play after you see that You know Right He's just trying to get the boys fired up It's all Nativity was always a tough team too

Not a local podcast A few kids that make the way over to FC You're like Yeah Pretty hard nose The FC Yeah the FC kids would play on Nativity's team I was like

You guys can't do that I know for a fact This middle linebacker is not going to Roncalli Like he's just walking over here Get out of here bro And there's always like a troublemaker at FC He just jump shit real quick I was like oh the best player you mean

Yeah convenient yeah Oh his parents go to church here Okay He's got six guys from Franklin Central Who's supposed to do about that Two of them have Dick sporting goods helmets With visors I'm like this is not fair, bro. I didn't wear my

rib protector either. At eighth grade, they already have a pack of Swisher sweets in their drawstring bag. I mean, what do you want me to do against this? Clearly saw him drinking a monster before the game. What are you supposed to do?

Guy smells like a wine wood tip. Got six tackles for loss already. I can't think anything like that during a I think I yeah similar dad the dad who was like I never heard such a thing and had to get like escorted out because he wouldn't leave the end zone Dad's at games that could be a whole thing man that's that stopped the game so I remember that

then so when I was in eighth grade where we practice where we practiced we had not a reminiscent podcast but where we practiced like Like every grade, you know, like 78 had this side of the field. Fifth and six had the other side of the field. Third and fourth had like just the little side area of grass that they could just like run around in. So we all practice in the same vicinity pretty much, right?

At the same time. And one day I practiced this kid in full uniform helmet on. Actually, you know, he had taken his helmet on. off and he was like yelling backwards, but he was walking over from where the little kids practice like into our practice field. So we're like, yo, like, what was going? This kid just like crying, like screaming backwards. And so we had to stop practice because this kid just like literally quit football and was

running away. Like he was like walking, walking through our field through the goalpost and was yelling at his dad, tears coming down his face. full pads on everything. One of my buddies who would know, I can't remember what he was saying, dude. God, but he was, he kept repeating something.

Just like, you'll never capture me. You'll never get, you'll never find me. Like just yelling across the field, making such a scene, helmet in hand. And yeah, this kid's like nine. Like chubby kid,

shoulder pads up to here, so he's got like no neck. four stripes on his helmet yeah my coaches had like stop it to like help him because like he was actively trying to get away but he wasn't he was just making a scene

and so because the dad started to walk over and they didn't have like a present a social presence where he'd be like hey I'm just gonna like grab him and we're gonna go figure this out elsewhere like the dad was yapping back at him from like across the way we're all like we're just trying to we're just trying to

to get our power toss poles down here like what is happening what we all really wanted to do during football practice though right I remember thinking that I was kind of like dude like good on you the amount of times that we've all thought

about just been like I don't I'll run right the hell home pole pads running down county line road your cleats helmet on hit me I got pads on

Every single time I remember when I was a kid in like here and trade what? Why is everybody getting traded? It's a trade deadline. Oh, blew my mind. Every sport too. Sneaks up on you.

Well, me because I never know what it is. But I'm like, oh, the trade deadline is that. Like bro, our best receiver might be out of here. you know, it's wild. Is that like, I always remember the trade deadline from growing up. Maybe it was just because I was so into baseball, probably. But I always be like, yeah, end of July, here's the deadline. I like, I was going to make a move?

Are they going to get no more Garcia-Para? Are they going to, you know, is it going to happen? Is somebody, you know, like, who's going to trade for that pitcher that takes them over the top? Like, I remember that end of July, I'd be like, in December, into July, school supplies. I'm going back to baseball tonight, like, see who got traded. So I always remember I always remember baseball was really big Go ahead

Baseball would have blockbuster trades On the trade deadline And you'd be like And they'd nonchalantly be like Yeah he's they're sending him over to I'm like A rod For a couple prospects and a player to be named later

Cash considerations Damn I'm like this should be like on CNN Breaking news Yeah It's amazing what happens when somebody gets traded. It's honestly, it messes with my brain chemistry and not even care that much. But then it was always baseball, NBA, because I'd be like, it's January.

That was like what got you through? Because I was like, what the hell is even happening? Like, it's cold everywhere. Oh, deadline. Okay. And then now the NFL has really, they were like, we got to start making some trades. Because the trade deadline in the NFL, nobody ever used to get traded in the NFL during the season. During the season?

Huh? And then now like two. What was it? Like three years ago, Christian McCaffrey, middle of the year. That's hard, bro.

God, if you're a fan of that team, too. I love trades. It's the most exciting thing. In basketball, it really turned up. Like,

when they started doing big three super teams, trade deadline. Oh, my God. And it was like in the summer, not even trade deadline, but like in the summer for the NBA. Well,

that's what I was about to say. it's from what from what joe put it's trade deadline for sure but i think the real competition for bigger guy dog whistle is trade deadline or free agency dude when free agency when free agency opens whoa mama those summers when it was always a summer when it was always so much lebron talk every single day I was on the hook on every sports radio show

just like all the speculations and we're thinking Chicago we're thinking Miami we're thinking I was like dog whistle and like the best

the best iteration of Guy reality TV that's all it is man music to my ears they're sending him here for two picks and more I'm like

God Dang, if he went there, you're picturing them in their jersey and stuff? To Jersey, yeah. And you, you remember you to hear about the recruiting pitches? Dude, that comes across my timeline every so often that Carmelow to New Jersey. Or Brooklyn Nets. Yeah. Well, like, they have, like, somebody on eBay found, like, the pitch to him.

And it was, like, a whole, like, media thing. Yeah. Yeah. The new uniforms, like him and, like, the Lopez, like, one of the Lopez dudes. It's like the squad they're about to have. Mm-hmm. I was like, I ain't about a pitch, yo. Uh-oh.

Hey, you should be in those. We should come up with these pitches for these guys. We'd be able to do that. Old Nets uniform. I will say, yeah, you're the Nets for Christ's sake. Use the rim and the net. Do the thing that you are, Titans Nets. What?

Jeez. I will say the trade deadline did make me finally understand the concept of buyers and sellers, like the stock market. Oh, God. This is going to be a rough one for me to understand. Well, you hear it all the time. Like, trade deadline coming up at the end of July, the Cubs are going to be buyers? They're going to be sellers. Oh, okay.

They're buying. They're buying because this team sees a potential shot at a run. and they just need a couple of pieces or a couple pieces away so they are going to be buying if they're selling they're selling off the farm they're selling their stock

get rid of it I don't want it anymore getting what I can mm-hmm amazing when a team goes all in it's so cool like when the Rams

did it that year and they're just like yep this is the year this is the year we don't care Oda Beckham Jr., let's go

yeah it is but it's always like probably not gonna work out But it did. No, I know. Every now and then you'll have that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, never. But, like, I feel, I feel like so often for, like, in baseball, especially, like,

these few, they'll make some move and they'll trade for, you know, the Giants will trade for Chris Bryant and give up a couple hot prospects that are going to be the big, like, next year. They'll bring in somebody else on a trade deadline. They'll lose in the first round. The team just blown up. It's like, wow. I just, yeah, like, I remember, I remember watching PTI. not a ESPN

Midday show or evening show I never talked about this But they always had the buyer's sell segment I was like what the fuck are they talking about buying What? What is this even Dude Frank Isola What are you talking about that the Yankees are

You're buying the Yankees are a contender What does that even mean And then I finally You know Got older and figured it out But Got older and then made your own PTI podcast. What are you going to do?
