Give me a little hint of Lambo or something here. This is what really America's about. The cast members could have been so much better, you know? I'm like, why isn't Brett Farve walking around? Sup, sup, TG 73. TG 73. Let's talk shop. Let's talk shop.

Can we please talk shop? What up, Disney Kroeneck? Bro, I'm a Disney dad. It's just me now. That was a good. one. I didn't see that coming on your video. That was funny. Really? Yeah. Bro, it's the only thing. I thought it was for real like run through and then all of a sudden it was just the braces. It was good.

It's the only thing. It was the first thing I saw when I walked in. I was like, I know it's just going to be countless knee braces here. Yes. And the thing was like the night before right when I flew into Orlando, I was like, my knee's starting to hurt.

Like, I don't know. Like I was like running through my set in my head for the show I had. And I was like kind of doing like some little act outs and stuff like that. And I was like, I don't think I can, I don't think I'm full go. Yeah.

And I was like, I got to go to Walmart and Brought. race up, dude. Polizzi's a game time decision. We'll see how he feels during warmups. I felt like that. I was like, mom,

do I tape this? Like, dude. I can't like jump up and down and like do anything. I don't know, bro. Hey,

Hey. It's just something they put in the water down there. Right? When I, my first inhale of oxygen in Orlando, my knees started clicking. Oh, clicky knees back.

Yep. You get, you could have made one, you made one for the knee braces. You could have made one for on cloud shoes. Hey dudes. That's next, bro. And like Etsy custom made shirts that dudes are wearing. That's a good one. Yeah, but I went to the knee brace aisle at Walmart.

Swear to God, there are 14 people in the aisle looking for knee braces. And I was just like, this is what it is. You think they were pre-bracing or was it? post brace. They were like, hey, I'm going to Magic Kingdom tomorrow. I got a pre brace. I think it was a lot of pre brace going on because those are all like adults, family. They're taking like the precautions. They know how it goes down. Yeah. But I wore it dude. I swear to God, I wore a knee brace under my cargo pants in Orlando on stage. It never felt better in my life. Hey, if you wanted to really commit to the bit, you would have strapped that shit over the top of it.

Like some real old head. Can you fucking imagine, bro? Imagine that shit. I would never talk to me again. Hey, you got like rings of sweat around it, you know, because it's been holding your pants so tight, you know? Remember the kid growing up Or like in high school That just like never washed his hat

And had those salt sweat rings around it The salt halos bro That was me I kind of like that Yeah I was like bro's just going hard Bro's just going hard It's got character you know

And like a hat doesn't get dirty It's like a pair of shorts or jeans like Right It doesn't get dirty. Not throwing a hat in the wash. I'll dust off the hat. Yeah. Give it the old smackdown.

Yeah, smackdown. I'll take the, I'll take the, uh, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the salt rings, they stay. Salt rings stay, but like, there's something when there's, you don't have any lint or hair or anything on it, but the salt rings are there. That's a real, like, I want to know that story. Yeah. He's a good, he's a good, he's a good third base, man. I want a hat like that I want the hat with that kind of relationship

Yeah you're not That's that's not a one and done hat Like that feels good on your dome for sure You're wearing that in the living room When the boys come over Yep Hey you guys know me I mean Ben you've

You've seen it for a long time Clubhouse you know like I have my certain hats I have my certain rotation And I stick to them They become part of me RIP that black on black Jordan Ooh I still got one baby

I know with that OG one that was when it all started I never have I've never you I mean you never forget your first love I've never had a relationship with the hat like I had with that one I kind of have at first

I thought it was a fake hat relationship I'm not gonna lie I'm like I think he's just doing it to do it then like a few months went by and I was like he committed like bro that's his hat I was like I was so wrong

I almost apologize to you for nothing you would have been like what are you talking about. I'm like, I just had to get it off my chest. I'm pretty sure Riley didn't see me without that hat on for like the first four months of our relationship. It is what it is, babe. Hat guy through and through. Those those rings on it, that's how you can tell how old your hat is. It's like the rings on a tree. Three rings, three years.

Yep. Or like the lines on your hand or whatever, that old, that old myth that you got going on. Yeah, it was like a palm reader. Yeah, the palm reader. You got a hat reader. You got a hat read. they're like shortstop 2008 couple dingers on homecoming yep had the cool hair that wasn't too long but hung out the back of his hat yeah fight fight in necklace uh two d3 offers one from depaugh yep double tape on his wrist we don't know why that was hard that was hard we don't know really what it does, but it looks cool as hell. So, yeah, the guy definitely. Maybe they go a little higher than normal on some Jason Witten vibe.

Hey, he's holding down the left side of the infield. Oh, yeah, the whole thing. Let's just say that. Hey, the eye black. Yeah, but yeah, no, but yes, it goes down. And you're like, did it sweat down like that? Or did you actually do it or is it a mix of both? What's going on here?

Imagine playing so hard in baseball that your eye black sweat. No one's ever done that. A lot of time you're playing, it's like July. You're in like 97 degree heat. Yeah. Man, eye black really. Eye black on baseball guys is so much better than I black on football guys. I agree.

I agree. There was, who's the D-Linman that does, oh, like Aiden Hutchinson? Yeah. Okay, Thor. Yeah, he's got that going on. Like, yeah, best. defensive player, but he's actually cos playing the whole season as Thor.

Like, dude. There's another, I forget who it was, but there's another dude who does it like over his eye too because he said he wanted to be like Anakin Skywalker. And I'm down with that. I'm down. God, dang, I forget who it is. Is it D.K. Metcalf? No, no. It's actually a white guy.

Oh, shit. Fuck, that's going to drive me nuts. Clubhouse has got your back on that. Yeah, yeah, for sure. who that was. It just happened this past college football season. I'm pretty sure. There it is. There it is. That's the question of the week in the comments or email it back to us. Coolest eye black situation. Baseball or football or whatever. Yeah.

See you there. Wow. So look at you. I mean, not only you went and made the video and did a show, but you actually came away with merch. I had to, dude. That was like my...

Murch. Murch. Pushing. Tickie's pushing merch. But I was like, if I do one thing, I know I'm going to like Disney World no matter what, because like how are you not going to like it? But I'm like, I'm going to cop some merch. Like, I don't care how much it is.

Like, that was like my thing. I was like, I'm going to buy some dope shit. Yeah. They got plenty of options. They do. And it's all, it's the long. long sleeve and it gets like cold at night. Oh, perfect. Dude, threw it on right in time.

I love going to Disney when it's, you're like, okay, it'll feel good, be warm during the day. But at night, give me that hoodie with my shorts and let's talk. That's exactly what it was, dude. And let's talk. Exactly. I was like, I don't give a shit, dude. Give me a long sleeve of my shorts. And you know what? I'm going to hit Joffreys for a coffee. Fuck, yeah, dude. Let's go. Did you see, did they have, well, they probably didn't. but I feel like some of those places around there, they still, like, year-round, do they have a bunch of Christmas stuff out or anything at all?

There's one store that was like a Christmas store, and I was like, I got to go in here. I got to go. I got to go. I got to go. It was so sick. And while I was in the store, I was like,

I would work in here. I would risk it all to work in here all year-round. So you felt the magic. Did you feel, I mean, was it, were you feeling it? Was it? Yeah.

It was the people, bro. It was the people that drove home the magic. Everybody was so into it. The cast members? Oh, they're so in. They're so nice. Yeah, they sell the shit out of that. It's almost like they're giving Chick-fil-A employees a run for their money.

Yep. They're cut from the same cloth, bro. Definitely. Super homeschool vibes. But like, I like it. And I was really impressed with a toy story land or whatever. Oh, my God. So fun.

That was incredible. They went all out in Toy Storyland. Bro, did you go to the restaurant that I told you about after we went there back in December? Wait, no, I don't think I did. What was it? I forget exactly. I think it's called like Woody's Barbecue Roundup or something. How did I miss that?

Man, it's a hot ticket, bro. You got to like, you have to have a reservation a day before or, you know, you're not going. You're not just like walking up to that. I was excited. I know we're just, this is the Disney podcast now, but I was, dude,

you gassed up Epcot. And I, yeah, I've, I bought in, bro. You have some fun? Epcot's serious,

dude. I told you. I didn't know what I was getting into. I was like, I feel like I'm on another planet. Dude, that is home for Johnson. I mean,

that is Johnson's vacation destination. Epcot drinks around the world right there. It was sick, dude. It was, but, I don't, what does Epcot stand for? I just don't get that part.

It's like something weird. And I'm like, it's kind of a reach. It's an acronym. Earth. Here we go. God damn it. How about everybody listening just like knowing it right now

and being like, oh my God, you fuck you idiot. Say it. Experimental prototype community of tomorrow. Crazy. Epcot. Never would have guessed in a million years. But I did. I was blown away by Canada.

Right? Dude, first stop. I was like, let's check it out. Beef tips and seared scallops. I was like, uh-huh.

Smack it. Three times. Three times for the gang. Yeah. Germany. What was your, what was your, what besides Canada?

Germany. I was like, I don't want to go to Germany. Oh my God. Went to Germany, bro. There was like a caramel cookie shop? I was like,

yeah, that little stretch. You got, you got Canada. You got, uh, the UK. You got the UK,

London there with the pub. I love that pub. I do too. Keep me there. The bignet, the, dude, the France setup was,

I was just like, this is, this is amazing. Little things of wine, you know, you get a little wine there from France. Everywhere. Yeah, dude. Mexico, you get a little margarita, you know. Japan, you get a little shot of Sucky. let's sucky sucky sucky you know what's crazy though is like america is by far the worst one that was a little sad right i was like no wonder everybody just like wants to shoot this place up like i'm like we couldn't have fucking you know balled out a little bit more like i know we're in america but i mean you give us a colonial style house and like a michelope ultra come on like a like a courthouse. I was like, I want to move.

Give me a little hint of Lambo or something here. That's what really America's about. I know. Like, the cast members could have been so much better, you know? I'm like, why isn't Brett Favre walking around? Levi, Levi's in a four jersey? I'd been like, this is America dog. Hey, with a turkey leg.

Hey, dude, it should Dude, let's make America right now America's cast members That should have been like the Last scene of Happy Gilmore Like the dudes in the sky Like Abe Lincoln, Chubbs Peterson The fucking Gator

Brett Favreve with the Brett Favv with the turkey leg John Madden Oh, I was gonna say John Madden But I just felt like it was It was a given, you know Dude, it should have been just 32 Brett Farr's walking around. How you doing? Lookalikes. Derek Jeter. I mean,

come on. The only drink on the menu is just a Coors light. Pretty much. That's what it already is, dude. I'm fine with that. A turkey leg, a Coors Light, and I think they had like some burger or something. That's cool. A little slight, some white castle slider. They slap you on the ass. That's all you get. I'd be like, this is a perfect country. Like, give me a little, uh, a little pop a shot, you know? little thing to shoot hoops on let's go and that's the only thing in there and then the other

the other like building in there is just the RCA dome everybody's like what the fuck just the most like bland dome stadium you know but you look inside

it's not even sports it's just like the monster trucks you're like yeah just like a booth with people just selling fried cheese you're like sure

Bring it, babe. Tater tots are definitely on that menu. It's essentially just like a state fair. That's what America, Disney world should be. That is the vibe. The state fair, yep. It just smells like a fart. You're like, mm-hmm. Yeah. That's fine. But other, yeah, I mean, other than America, the trip was great. Every time I go there, I'm like, I guess we'll like walk past America. Yeah. I'm like embarrassed to be there. Stop it everywhere else. Get a something from the menu, a drink. Yeah, America. All right. I'm like apologizing to the foreign people there. I'm like, this isn't a real representation of us, but sorry. I'm sorry. They're like, what are you talking about? Yeah, dude, you go to like Disney Springs at all? Like downtown Disney formerly? That's your shit, man. Maybe I don't know what that is. It's just like, it's just Disney's mall essentially.

Like you're just, there's just nothing but shops and restaurants and desserts. Which, uh, which planet is that on? Which is that, uh, it's its own. I think maybe. I don't know.

I think I'd know if I did though. Yeah. I thought I hit all of them. So they did really spread out. I did not know that about Disney World. Yeah. Did not know. But what's wild is that's spread out,

but it's all still like, on one like thing of land. Yeah. I need the overhead view bad because I was like, what? I took the sky rail, bro. That thing was not bad. Talk about,

bro, I wouldn't to sit down so bad. Oh yeah. Oh. You get your steps in, bro. That, it was amazing. Dude,

the fact that I wore compression shorts, what a blessing. Because I've been a guy that's like, I think I'll be okay. And then the chafe happens at like noon. And I'm like, I still got seven hours with chafe daddy legs. Right. Then fireworks. I got to get a spot for that. Getting your spot for

fireworks is so hard to do. Yeah. You blink and everybody's sitting on the ground. I'm like, whoa. Yep. Then it's kind of like, do we want to see the fireworks? You're debating in your head. Do we want to see the fireworks or do we just want to like beat the traffic and get an empty bus? Empty butt. No such thing is an empty bus. But yeah. I've had a few of them. Really? To yourself? When you hop on there at night time and there's like maybe two other people in there

and you're like holy shit like, like are we really doing this? Like are they not going to, they're not going to wait? Like they're just taking us. Yeah. And then all of a sudden, shit and I fucking start rolling out. You're like, oh, let's go. It's like when you see the two empty seats on a flight,

you're like, what? Are we good? For sure. Best part. Best part Huh Go ahead Best part about Disney World

Canada and the post Disney World shower Yep Just thinking about everything What the fuck did I Oh it's hot Oh my God dude Did you stay with your mom?

Yeah Nice Okay so I didn't know if you were at a resort Or hotel or anything Yeah Dude Because that's part of the experience too Oh yeah

I saw all the resort life. I was like, is that what Joey does? Dude, I thought about you probably, probably 140 times. I was like, does Joey stay there? I wonder if Joey's been on that. Did Joey eat that? Would Joey get these scallops? Did you get the Magic Kingdom? Did you get the ice cream in Frontierland? Damn, no. I got, I got some, I kind of knee jerked reacted with the ice cream and it was in Animal Kingdom. I just, wanted it real bad. It was like one of those dole whips with the orange cream like flow.

I was like, I just got to get that. I got to get that. And I was just like, boom. I didn't really, I didn't really, I wasn't really patient with the ice cream. Damn.

Animal Kingdom is my least favorite by far. I went on a ride in Animal Kingdom. It kind of took me out of the roller coaster game, I think. It was so serious. I really underestimated it. I was like, this ain't shit, bro.

Because I saw kids get off of it. And they're like happy. And I was like, bro, this is going to be like a two out of ten ride. Dude, what? It was that ride with like a Yeti and you like go up and then you go back down backwards and they're like, they're cutting the lights off on you. I was like, this is crazy. I have no idea what that is.

It's insane. But it got me. Yeah, dude, you forget. You know, we're not 17 anymore. Got me, bro. Those 30s, they sneak up on you real quick. Yeah, Animal Kingdom. I think I did after my last trip.

That's by far my least favorite one. I saw like one little pig and I was like, come on. I put Disney Springs ahead of Animal Kingdom. Like, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Disney Springs, Animal Kingdom. Yeah. Whatever. It's always way too hot on that day. And you're like, okay, I didn't actually want to go on a fucking safari, you know?

Yeah. Okay, yeah. I mean, I was there for like an hour. It was two hours, mate, tops, you know. Just checking out the scene. I wasn't trying to spend much time there. Of course, that one's like Rye's favorite. So it's like, yeah.

All right. No way. We'll go see the birds. There's 18 million species of birds. They all look the same. Okay, yes. The best part of Animal Kingdom might have been like all the little ducks and stuff that were like walking around trying to eat fries and shit.

I was like, wow, is this part of the experiment? Are you just Florida birds or are you like animal kingdom birds that's part of the experience? I almost took a duck. I was like, this is great. Of course I'll give you a fry. It didn't weird how they like slip the Starbucks into the different parks. But like it's almost the like the front of the store almost kind of looks like they try to blend it in. I know.

I know. I love it. I love that. And then you go in there. You're like, oh, wait a second. I can't get a chite latte. all right. Yeah. Can I use my points here? Yeah.

They're, even they're dressed up, you know? And like they're I love it. I love a theme, dude. I love a theme. Yeah. That's awesome. I love it. You would, the time we went is the ideal time for me. When we went right after Thanksgiving, like that led right into the first week of December. It's not that hot, but it's warm. It gets a little chilly. The little chill at the end of the night. all the Christmas shit is everywhere. Then you come back home and you're not that depressed or leaving Disney because it's Christmas.

It's the perfect time. They really do. I thought about that as I was walking through Disney World. I was like, what's this like during Christmas? Is it Christmased out? Christmas out. Really?

Oh yeah. Everything, even in all the parks? All the parks. Oh. Christmas music playing over the... Shut up. Just the fucking park speakers.

yeah oh you thought you thought about that too you're like let's go during crows that's dope man there's like there's this thing apparently that i didn't know about until this year but it's like um mickey's VIP Christmas party and it starts at like nine o'clock at night and so it's only available to people who are in the VIP club so everybody else has to leave and then these people are just like in Magic Kingdom from like nine to midnight or whatever with even more Christmas decked out theme going on and it's a private party with Mickey fucking awesome oh my God well how do I need to be there how do I get the invite you just pay for it can I get a table at Mickey's private Christmas party right something to keep in mind

you and goofy bottle of Surrock Hey, the picture with goofy. You and Pluto? You and Pluto? Try to do a jersey swab with them. Got that dog in them. It's Pluto. Stupid.

I fucking love it. All right. Stupid. All right, let's talk about Brett Farb. We're done. We'll talk about Brett Farb now. Sorry, Jesus. I'm just glad that you went.

You got you fully, you know, you did the thing. You fully experienced it. now when I talk about going to Disney or when I say I'm going back, you won't look at me as crazy. It's great. No, yeah, I get it. I get it. Good.

Good. Yeah. Well, you were doing that. The combine was in town. That was a crazy weekend. Uh-huh. And I had a little story that I wanted to tell a clubhouse about and you about. I feel like first,

I feel like that was the best combine. There's, it's been in a like maybe like, 10, 15 years. Just for like player performance? Like I felt like, I don't know, but usually there aren't people there. Dude, when I went on on Saturday,

the whole like lower bowl of Lucas Oil was filled. Yeah, they don't usually do that, right? There's just like scouts and coaches. They've started doing it the last handful of years. I just felt like it was lit. I did, I did know that people were going, but it's just like when the QBs were throwing bombs, the crowd was like going crazy.

I was like, this is perfect. This is it. Dude, yeah, when I went down there on Saturday, I was thinking like, oh,

you know, it's, it's the combine Saturday. Like, I'm sure people would be out but it won't be anything crazy. There were lines to park places. And there was people everywhere

walking up to the stadium. I was like, holy shit. Like I think at job site supply, there was people tailgating the combine. I'm pretty sure. Oh, see,

that is, that's cool. That's cool. You know, and it helped that it was like 63 and sunny. You know, it was a really nice day. But yeah, I was just like, damn. I mean, people showing out for this. Was it kind of like high school state championship crowd?

Yep, very much. Oh, that's what's up. Like 2A or 3A. Oh, that's what's up. That's diehards. Yeah. It was, it was, it was a big, like, even saw a couple Steelers fans wearing like their terrible towels out of their pants.

Like, guys. Relax. This, okay. We're fully, fully in here. Right. Face paint, bro, for the combine. Bro, what if we just, like, there's like the Cleveland Browns, dogs. There's like the commanders, pigs.

What if we were like the combine crazy, like, the combine camels? Combine camels. Me and you just dress up as camels. Like, those are the combine. Those are us, dude. The combine cats. Combine quallas. cats

get some fucking claws whiskers and claws we actually have like just like a generic mascot cat head that we wear oh yeah

you're you're are you orange cat or are you yeah I can be orange cat I can be orange cat

okay okay yeah you'd be like a black and white you know nice like white belly black

maybe a little white like on the white high high side ox on look. Exactly. Combine cats next year, us.

I did think about that when I was like down because Friday I went, I had my credential extended to Friday so I went down to the convention center where all the media shit is. And it was like a pretty nice day. And I was just looking out right in front of the convention center and thinking about our Combine video. Dude, that was a heater for like seven years ago. I was about to text you to be like, bro, can you find that? Should we re-release like at least like 30?

seconds of it or something. I think we should. That was, oh, that was, that was, that was raw. The birth, the birth of, uh, coach Rocco and coach Burns right there that weekend. That was, well, that was good. Tell me, let's talk. Let's talk combine. Talk shop. Yeah, so I did that Friday and it was cool. Talk to us to different people, hopped, hopped on a few shows and whatnot. But then Friday night, you know, it's going down in the evenings at nighttime at the combine, like I've said before, right? So me and Cheeks, our buddy Evan,

we go to St. Elmo's. I saw Nicola's dad. Hotest guy ever. Hotest guy ever. Hotest guy ever. And he was rolling and he's just wheeling and dealing behind the bar, man. But he took the time.

This is what I love about this guy. True Pizan. Like he was doing it, but he took the time to, hey, you know, when I said I really directly shake hands and whatnot. And, um, but it's great to see him. and so we go to St. Elmo's we eat.

There's not a lot, you know, there's a bunch of people there, but it's not like NFL world yet. You know, it's pretty early. So we bounced around a little bit and we eventually make our way to Prime 47 late night. And so we go in there and I've told you about it before, but for Clubhouse who's new and everything, like a lot of times what happens during the combine when you're at Prime, the later it gets, the more people,

people show up, obviously, but then the more open it gets. So instead of the tables at Prime 47 and everything, they kind of clear those out, allow more room for people to stand and mingle and drink. And so me and Evan are in there and we're chopping up with different people and whatnot. And they start to have the different little setups for bars at different places in Prime. I look over and right in the middle is Rich Eisen, Laura Rutledge, Mina Kimes,

and Mike McDaniel. And so I'm like, all right, this is, I'm like, to Evan, I'm like, I'm like,

I'm like, I'm going to go say to Rich. So I'll go over there, say hey to Rich. Introduce Evan to Rich. And we chat a little bit about the next day since I was going on with him and DJ,

whatnot. But then I circle back around after that. After we talked to Rich. And I'm like, all right, Evan's like, he's like, he's like,

you do a little bit of McDaniel, don't you? He's like, you should talk to him and see if he, You can like, you know, we should go say, hey. I was like, yeah, for sure. So I kind of creep my way over there.

It's like one of those, you know, it's like the scene is your sardines. Like you really got to like squeeze your right through a whole bunch of like, oh, sorry, excuse me. Oh, sorry, excuse me. That kind of deal. And so I'm kind of waiting it. You know, I don't want to, I don't want to make my move too quick. So you're at like a college banger kind of.

And Mike McDaniel is the hottest girl there. Pretty much in this situation. Yeah. And so he's your opening line. What's your opening? What are you leading with? Well, so I'm waiting for him. And I was like,

Cheeks, have your phone ready. You know, because I wanted to get a pick. The whole thing was just because I wanted to get a picture because I was like, I think that people on the internet would appreciate it. The picture was fire, bro.

That was a good picture. Thanks. Thanks. So he's standing there. And finally, he's like not in a direct conversation. People around him are kind of talking, but he's kind of like

looking a little bit. So right there I was like, I'm going in. So I lean in a little bit. I, you know, do the soft hand on the shoulder, not like a stiff or like a pat.

I'm just kind of like, hey, you know, a light like, hey, letting you know I'm here. Hand on the shoulder is like, we got to talk.

Right. And so I was just like, hey, coach McDaniel. Call him Coach McDaniel. Coach. Yeah. Coach,

uh, introduce myself, Joey Molonero. I met you a couple of years. years ago here. I was like, you know, a big fan of what you do and how you go about it. And you know, he was kind of like, oh, thanks. Yeah. You know what I mean? And I was like, I don't know if you know or have seen, but I've, I've done some sketches about you. Like, I've done some, you know, some impressions and some videos about you. And he was kind of like

racking his brain. He's like, oh, really? And I was like, yeah, man. And he was kind of racking his brain a little bit. And he had a couple of his like handlers right there. And they were kind of like, yeah, he does the, he's done you before. He does like the same, blah, blah, blah. They're like, Sean McVeigh is really good. And McDaniels still kind of like eyeing me. He's like, oh, I think, I think I've seen some of it. I appreciate your work. And I was like, oh, okay, cool, man, thanks. And he's had a bunch of people in his ear and everything. But finally, I was just like, I was like, hey, coach, I was like, I wanted to see, if not no big deal. but I would love to take a picture with you.

I was like, because of my following and because of what I do and I've done videos like about you, I was like, I think people would think it was funny. I think people would appreciate it. Yeah. And he was like a picture. And I was like, yeah. And he kind of started looking around a little bit. He was like, he didn't want to do it right where he was.

He was like, could we go do it by the staircase or can we do it like with a different backdrop? I was like, hey, man, yeah, like whatever you need. I just wanted to see if you'd be down to get a picture. Bro knows his angles and lighting. right so I'm like I'm on your you know if you said yes if it's no big deal then you just say where and I'll go uh-huh so he kind of thinks about a little bit of his handlers are like you you could do it there you could do it there finally he decides he's like let's go over here and so I'm like okay cool so evans right behind us and we're kind of fighting our way through right that's kind of a

bitch of it is because there's so many people and everything that it's not just an easy like hop over. You really got to. Yeah. You got a wiggle through. Right. Yeah. So I'm like taking them away. You know, not taking them because I said like if not, no big deal, but I just wanted to see if you'd want to.

And we get through and we get to a space where there's not really anybody over there. And the backdrop is just like of the window with the street as you see. It's good. And so we're sitting there and and I like put my arm around him. We're getting ready to do the photo. and Evan is getting the phone up and he's like, you guys want flash? And as he says that,

I see out of the corner of my eye, McDaniels goes like this. McDaniel goes like this. For the audio listeners, he does like a hurry up, like a spin in the wheel, like the hurry hand motion. Oh, yeah,

that's a quick one though. Like a let's get this going. Like a let's get this going. Like come on. Yeah. And so I'm like, yeah, just flash, flash. So Evan's like,

all right, does it. take the photo McDaniel sprints away. I'm like, me and Evan are both like, what is what just happened? Like we were talking. I totally understood if he was like, no, you know, I honestly thought that we were just going to do like a little selfie or something right there. Like I didn't know we were going to have to like walk away. So it was so, it was just so odd.

And so for the rest of the night, my mind is just fucked. Oh, I wouldn't be okay. Because we're still standing there, me and Evan, and more and more people keep coming into prime and we keep standing and hanging out. But kind of all around wherever we were, McDaniel would somehow show up to be like right there too. Like, it just seemed like we couldn't get away from this guy, you know? And trust me, after that, I was like, I don't want to fucking, all right, whatever. Like I did the deed. I got what I was looking for.

Yeah. You know. Like, are you thinking in your head? Like, should I even post that? Kind of. But then I'm like, fuck it. Like, he said, yeah. He said, yeah.

Like, we talked. He said, yeah. Like, I can't, I don't know what happened there at the end. But like. Yeah. And so then, man, I'm, at one point, I'm standing in the, me and Evan are standing in there. And then like four feet in front of us, if that is McDaniel again. God damn it.

Like 25 minutes later. And he's offset. Mina Kimes and Laura Rutledge both from ESPN And Evans like Evans like he's looking at you bro I'm like dude I'm like should I say something He's like nah don't

Evan's like they're talking about you now I'm like oh my God He's like just Evans like just look away and I'll Can we restart? Yeah Evans like just look away and I'll lean in And you know kind of Listen to see what's up And he said that

he heard McDaniel being like, do you know who that is? Like, who is that guy? But then he said that Mina came to my defense and was like, oh, yeah, that's Joey. He's done videos about, like, basically backed up everything that I said to McDaniel to start out with. Yeah. And then it was just like over. Like, I guess like McDaniel just kind of needed like the validation that I wasn't just like some random patron that ended up being at Prime 47. That was.

Go fins! Right. Like, whatever. I don't know. But that was, it was, it was just a very weird, weird experience. Like, cool experience, but weird. Oh, damn. And that was it?

I was waiting for it to click, like, with him and being like, oh, like that. I mean, it might, I don't know. Like, I just, in his eyes, he was probably just like, yeah, okay, this guy's on the internet. He's going to try to fuck me or something. Oh, damn. I don't know. Those impressions you do of him are gas. I was like, I'm not trying to.

Yeah, I'm not like it was just like I told you. And you were like, oh yeah, I appreciate you. I was like, I thought you were just in on like, I thought you were in on it. Like you got what was going on. I got play in period. Nice ass. Well, have you met anybody else like that?

That's like kind of like weird. Not weird. I don't know if that's weird. not, but like, kind of like, put off by it. Because I usually see people when I'm with you that, that, and it's like a person you've done before. That's like, oh, and it's like crazy. Well, it made me feel a lot better as later on me and Evan were just standing in the lobby of prime kind of figuring on our next move. And Mark Brunell walks in. And Mark Brunell like comes right over. Yeah. Mark Brunel comes like right over. And it's like, dude, you, you are awesome, man.

I love what you do. I'm like, Mark Brunel, what the fuck? So that was funny. That was clubhouse shit. I was like, wow. You only knew about how much we talked about you and Jimmy Smith and Keenna McCardell. Bro, I would have Mark Brunel toss something to me. You be you, I'll be Jimmy Smith.

Lefty. Yeah. Give me that lefty. Throw me like an hors d'oeuvre. Throw me a cream puff real quick. Check down to Fred Taylor. so dorky dude. Pretend

on Fred Taylor, hand me this green puff. Like that's the shit I would do it. That'd be incredible. See, that's why I needed you there, man. I needed you to come back

for one of these Combine experiences next year or something because it's just ridiculous. It's all just shit like that. And you're just looking around and you're like, what am I?

I'm an idiot. What am I doing here with fucking Albert Breer and Rich Eisen and Sean Peyton and I'm just like here. Dude, I feel like Rich Eisen's clubhouse material dog.

Like, he's, he's, he's a homie. He's the man. It was a lot of fun going on with him on Saturday. His 40's looking good. I watched his 40. I was like, you're practicing, bro.

Shut up. You're practicing. He's got the whole, like, the track run. You know what I mean? Like the technical side of it down. Like the fire out,

stay low, rise up. Like, his start wasn't, like, he's, he's coming off. like a jet, not like a helicopter.

I was like, he knows what's going on. Remember that? What was the fastest 40 you ever ran? Depends, it depends. Are you talking hand time? Give me hand time, then give me electric. Hand time I'm putting up like, I'm putting up like Texas numbers, bro.

Like, like, bro, I'm getting an offer tomorrow. Like 447? Dude, I was like, dude, I think I, I think, I think I cranked out a 4-4-2 when I was a junior. Shocked the world. In college? No, high school, bro. Coach Mack.

Just whipping it. And I got the, I got Cipheries out there too on both. And they checked each other's stopwatches. They were like, wow, okay, 4-4-2,

so that's like a 4-6-7 electric? Probably, if we're really talking numbers, it's probably like a 5-2 electric, bro. like if we're being honest with ourselves and then I went to like the Colts Combine it was like official as shit

like all the good players were there like from my class and uh dude the fastest 40 there was like a 4-8 by Coffey Hughes and I was like he ran a 4-8 I was like I think I'm gonna opt out of the 40 coach I got a bit of a hamstring thing going on

can't do it yeah dude put down a clean 5-3 in the books for the white running back. That's one of the most devastating things, man. When? Dude, I finished and I was walking back because we got like two tries. My dad was there because he was like obviously

coaching at the time and shit. He looked at me and he goes, he gave me the McDaniel. I was like, damn, it's like that. I'm like, I tried as hard as I could. Right. You were fucking breathe in. You had a loose face. You were freaking pumping. I don't think I had a lose face, bro. I think I had the tightest face I've ever had my life. I was like, I'll,

I guess I'll make up for that in the three cone drill. You're right. The broad jump. I'll probably turn the wrong way in the three cone drill and get yelled at by some Colts equipment manager. That is a really devastating moment in most young men's life. That was the moment I knew I wasn't going to make it. I was like, ooh. When when the kid who's the best and the whole city surrounding area who you're like that guy's league league

when he ends up like you said it's like a 477 or something you're like okay it's a totally different ball game yeah part of me it was like maybe he just had a rough start and like he didn't have a good time

but everybody else was like no he was blazing bro I was like no all of a sudden my my like Achilles started to hurt I was like maybe I should sit this one out you know you slap the old knee brace on

Orlando style what would the girls equivalent of that be the 40 oh god like the yeah like the moment like the guy's version of knowing you're not going to make it and having a depressed moment is that

when some dude who you think is really really fast in high school gets timed electrically and is like 0.6.6 seconds slower than like what it needs to be at that position. You're like, oh, I'm way slower than that. What is the girls version?

Damn, dude, that's a really good question. Clubhouse. That's like when men, that's like when young boys like dreams literally die. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that was a rough day, dude. And I was like, oh, the worst part was I was like,

and they're putting this on the internet. Wow. Wow. Like, it's still on the internet, bro. You can pull it up. Colts Combine 2009, bro. You can see all my drills. Well, I'm doing that right now while you think of.

It's so bad. It's so bad. The equivalent, don't pull it up, bro. It's so bad. I mean, nobody can watch, but I'm going to watch. Oh, no, dude. This link's going in the comments. For sure.

no see you're you're oh god my short shuttle is kind of gas you're fine because it's so far like it's it's buried like you would never oh you found it though no i haven't that's what i'm saying is like i'll send you the link i'll send you no i won't but the girls the girl yeah i did one of those things where i like cleared it off the internet i went through like a third party you know how you can do that like when somebody searches your name on the the internet, you can have people take off, like, the results. I didn't know that. You can do that, dude.

Like, if, like, if you search somebody's name and they, like, have a, they went to jail or some shit, like, that'll come up first. You can have that cleared from Google. But, like, that's the one I cleared, the Colts Combine. You only get, you only get one of those? Scrub the Colts Combine. Take it off, bro. Take it off the internet.

But, sir, what if you, what if you? What if you get a DUI one dad? Nope, that's it. I don't give a shit. That's, dude, the running the 45-2 in front of my dad, way more embarrassing than a DUI. You didn't run a 5-2. Bro, I swear to God.

No, but there are other like decently fast dudes running like low fives. And I was like, are we crazy? Are we that slow? Bro, you see these huge ass offensive linemen at the end of actual NFL combine yesterday and they're running like a 5-1 electric and you're like, that's amazing. looked like molasses. Kind of moving, though.

What would my dumb ass look like? Like, that's really horrifying. I don't know what girls, I don't know what their version is. I don't know. I really don't. When girls' dreams die, is that what it is? Maybe like when they, the only thing I can think of, this is so bad, but like when they get, you know, when they get broken up with a little bit.

Like, because I get, I've never, because it does feel, when girls get broken up with it does feel like it's the end of the world for them. And that it was the end of the world for me. For us. Yeah. When every college program broke up with me in high school. Even baseball, you know,

I'm out there on the mound and I'm like clocking maybe. I feel like I'm bringing it. Like giving everything I have, I'm hitting like 81. Bringing it. I'm like, oh. 81 though.

81 in high school? I'd be like, this kid's kind of got gas. Not when you're 17. and there's other 17-year-olds throwing 96. How is that even possible? I know. Yeah, you have the guns in baseball

and then the stopwatches and football that just absolutely kill you. Ruin my life, dude. Maybe that's why I'm so bad with like computing numbers. After I saw my 40 time, I was like, I don't want to look at numbers ever again. Don't, yep. Why did you fail math, my 40?

because what I thought and hope this was going to be not even close. Can you guys round down? I know that's a math thing. Yeah, we're at a 509A, but we're going to drop it to a 4-9. Ooh, dude, just put me under 5. Yeah, give me the 4s.

Give me a 4 electric time. Let's go. Anything in the 4s, bro. I can play faster than that, I promise. The game speed. That was always a thing. Yeah, you don't have to be faster. you don't have to run a fast 40

you just got to be fast all the time I'm like all right yeah well this guy just ran a 4 3 1 and he's going to get paid 18 million dollars so I think it matters a little bit I'm over here trying to like take breaks

and figure out the water situation and shit guy just got offered from central Michigan or something I'm like damn all right let's do let's do one or two clubhouse here this is from Luke subject

these guys clubhouse version of the last supper nothing more to say Green Bay Packers Brett Favre and Colvers hang this picture up behind you guys

and slap my ass it's one of those that like they're at like weird antique stores oh wait oh my God that

Bart Star Brett Fav Jordan Love at Colvers ordering how did Jordan Love I love sneak in there. Bart Star.

What a quarterback ass name, dude. Star is your last name. Get out of here, dog. Okay, Broadway. That's too funny. Dude, that is a great picture. God, I wish we had an actual, like, brick and mortar studio that we could throw all these things in here.

I know. Hey, one day we will. One day we will. I knew that was going to get your ass. I know. Brick and mortar. Brick and mortar on the fan. Why does it feel like if we had a studio, we would build it with bricks and shit, like us?

Just like in your dad's backyard. It's just like a little brick shed. We just do our podcast in there. Brick and mortar seven to ten weekdays on the ticket. What's your brick of the week? Not bad for a fat guy. Oh my God, bro. Stop.

I got my dad on that now. A bed for a fat guy. My dad went to a high school basketball sectional game to see one of his kids play or one of his friends kids play. And I just get a text and it's like this like it wasn't really a bad seat. It really wasn't at like Southport Fieldhouse. It's just a picture of where he's sitting. And he just said, not a bad seat for a fat gay.

Dude, it always cleans up too. It's such a good line. I'm like, wow, he did that. Oh, my God, you were on that show? That's crazy. You filled in for on that? Yeah, not bad for a fat guy. I'm like, oh, wow.

He's so right. He's so right. Just blown away by that line. One more here from frequent regular emailer and listener, Shiona. She says, hey, Joey and Ben, I need to know if I'm a bandwagoner or just a fan of a player.

which could turn into another team I support. This is the first football season I've watched all the way through in 17 years. I had zero idea who Mahomes was, but after watching this season, I've become a tad obsessed with how talented he is. I wanted the Niners to win, but I wasn't too upset about the chiefs winning because of Mahomes. Does that make me a bandwagoner or just a fan of the player

no matter what team he plays for? Keep up the awesome work, and I can't wait to buy more of these guys merch. Wow. Beat me with the walrus and throw peanuts at me. Oh, yes, the peanuts. Like we're at Texas Roadhouse back in the day Take a handful off the ground, bro

Just see you got to look like if if he was on a different team Would you still like his previous team I think that's the bandwagon thing right Like if Pat Mahomes goes to the Ravens Are you going to be a Chiefs fan still? Probably not She's Patrick Mahomes fan That's fine

Yeah, that's fine But is that bandwagon? I, who fucking cares? I don't care either about that anymore. And that's what I've always appreciated about you. Like, who gives a fuck, dude? I don't know. Some teams are just cool some years, you know?

Like the lions this past year, I'm like, bro, they're lit. Like, I like them. Yeah. Oh, but you live in indie, bro. You gotta be, no, shut up, bro. They're just, no, just stop. No. Like, imagine being a 37-year-old guy who's like,

Benwagon, Benwagon. What are you, dude? Twelve? I play that car. I play bandwagon card in high school, though. I wasn't letting people get in a way, which is like, yo, you like Texas now? That was kind of crazy, bro. Texas wins the national championship.

Three dudes at school have Texas hoodies on. I'm like, guys. The Texas, there was a big Texas wave back in the day. Oh, I had a Texas hoodie. I was like, I mean, it's cool. I'm not a Texas fan, but like I had to rock it. It was just too good to pass up. There's a lot of that shit though.

Like when you're kids and people, you know, they'll still be fans of them. It may have started out as a bandwagon, but then like people will see it through and like it becomes part of their fandom and their life, you know? A few people like that. Like a few Texas people who I'm just like, what? And they're like, yeah, dude, just like Vince Young was so tight.

And then I just started liking them ever since. I was like, okay. That's amazing. Never switched up. It's like the people who like the Broncos that are. random. I'm like, why? And I'm like, oh, that's like the first Super Bowl you saw with like Terrell Davis. I'm like, I kind of get it. I kind of get it. For sure. So then I'm all like, if you're gonna, I'm all for bandwagoning if you like stay on, you know, like if you, if you ride a wave

and like you get caught up in it and you're like, this is fucking awesome. Okay, that's fine. But then like make it a, make it like a part of your, your deal. after that. Then I'm like, okay, then you're just a fan now. It started out. Every fandom starts. I mean, like, yeah, you have your ones that like you're born into, right? Or like, you know, a lot of people are like, oh, yeah, I'm from here.

That's great. That's fine. Those are your traditional routes. But like, sometimes it's just like something happens. You know, a specific time in your life and you're like, oh, holy shit, I'm in on this. And then afterwards, as long as you keep like being in on it, then fuck it. We'd always try to figure it out. We'd always be like, why is Johnny Bogartis's,

wearing a Viking starter jacket. We'd be like, oh, I think his cousins from Minnesota, so that's why. Like, we'd always try to, like, draw it back to its roots. Uh-huh. Just with every single person. Why is he a Patriots fan?

Oh, I think, like, his dad used to live in Michigan. He really likes Tom Brady. Oh, okay, makes sense. Clear. Like, we'd, like, clear him off the list. Right. Yeah. There's always a fishy one.

It's always a fishy one. I think you're good, Shiona, you know, just, you like my homes, you like my homes. Fuck it. It's pretty funny how, like, not a chance he was going to interact with my shit that the NFL put out. I think it was too good, bro. Sometimes I think your impressions are too good that the people are kind of like, oh, too close, too close, too close. Like, I don't want my wife to see that, you know? I think it was more so that I've, like, tweeted jokes about his wife, probably, and I probably somehow got back to him.

Or that, or that. Hey. Your brother's annoying tweet. You'd be like, I mean, yeah, probably. Yeah, pretty much. Dude, that's too good. That's too good. It's better like over audio.

Can I just get a snap count? Or never mind. Just say Outback Steakhouse and that's all I want. Outback Steakhouse. maybe that's a dude that could be our new segment maybe just like hey bro I know this is annoying when people ask you to say stuff but like
