I was like, shoot this. I'm just putting it in there. So it's like the first two pictures I ever took with Frank, like on my wedding day. like, you know, me and my grandpa and then you. Mm-hmm.

Most important things in my life. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I had that dialed up. Yeah. Yeah. Charlie badge on the Steelers next to it.

Duh. What's more relevant? Bachelorette or Charlie Batch making cookies? You tell me. What would you rather listen to? And if the answer isn't the latter, then you don't get the shit. show. Latter.

Barely nowhere. This guy. We were actually talking about that. The old family family cookout today. We're talking about the last name, Boozer. Oh, man, we've been missing on that. That's crazy. In college, too?

My sister was just like, that is, you talk about a bad last name to have. I was like, that's my dream last name. Boozer. Hey, can't let the old family name down. Elbows up. Come on, man. His celebrations in the NBA, you know?

Can you imagine? So good. So good. Hits a three, bongs, nothing. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Now we're talking. Can you imagine how for the sake that would be?

Hey. Boehler. Bud Light or Miller Light or whoever, you missed out, you missed out on a an NIL opportunity there. The Camden, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the booser brothers with Johnson and Schmitty all on one call. Magical last name. Hey, Cameron, this guy.

Hey, you have a name today? Hey, hey, hey, hey, they don't call me boozer for nothing. Barely no. His dad pops in on the call, four-way call. Oh. Like father, like son. Oh, God. Jeez, this guy.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Did you really spray paint your hair on? I think about that every day. That comes on my Twitter every day. Carlos Boozer with the shoe polish hairline. Dude, the Carlos Boozer shoe polish hairline, the shot of the Ohio State Purdue game when the shorts, everybody's shorts are literally like pretty much to their Achilles.

Peak basketball, you mean? Those two, the same. on adventure fella. Those three things, just like, they have like a rotation in my algorithm. Tim Thomas with two

headbands on. I swear he did that in the Pacers game and I was the only one in the whole world. That's hot. On Fox SportsNet, I was like,

I swear to God, he has two headbands on. Next thing I know, there's only one. I was like, wait a second. That disappeared. That disappeared in the multiverse.

Yeah. My dad was like, what did you say B? I was like, never mind. Never. Jeez. Jeez, talk about something I don't want to talk about that with you with.

Oh, my God. Don't get it. Don't want to know. Yeah. Man, we, uh, we, we, we, we, we were finally getting to the point where we're, uh, dude, actually, you know what? I want to know what you're thinking on. What's your thoughts on the reaction videos that go around now for every, for everything that ever happens? Like when it's green screen?

Or what are you talking about? No, like, you know, March Madness everywhere. Of course, you know, so it hits a shot. Uh-huh. And then all you see is just nothing but filmed the reactions of fans, whether it be at home or the bar or. Uh, kind of, I, shit. I think I watch every one of them.

I know. Yeah. How you're not. Some of it, some of it, though. It's a little too contrives for me. Oh, like they do it on, like they know they're being filmed? I was just like, come on, man. Like, just, just, just, just because like, who's interacting like that?

You know? But when I, when I'm in the moment like that and I'm watching, like, perfect example, when I'm at Heinz and I'm watching the Steelers Ravens on Sunday night, Sunday night football, last game of season, division on the line, the last thing I'm thinking about is pulling out my phone and recording myself to get, whatever reaction happens either way. Oh. I was thinking somebody else recording.

I don't know. I think I've just been like oversaturated recently with it. And I'm just like, okay. Why don't we just like, hey, hate to be. I live in the moment a little bit. Let's just, let's just keep the phone over there on the couch and just be locked in. Yeah. Go crazy.

Do whatever you want to do. Be distraught. Go crazy. But to me, I'm just like, that's so insane. I mean, I guess maybe I just don't have the presence of mine to like capture that. But the last thing I'm thinking about whenever I'm like locked into a team that I really care about in a huge moment at that point in the game is like, let me set my phone up. Let me set my phone up. Let's get it going.

All right. All right. Are we in the frame? Are we in the frame? Oh, like. Yeah. I don't know. That's probably the honestly.

That's probably the first thing I think of. Yeah. Like we're doing this for nothing. All right. But I'm not I'm not locked in like that like you are. Yeah, I don't know Let me know Maybe I'm just being

An old guy yells a cloud An Molnard minute Reaction Vids Yeah, you got these people They're setting up their phones Like a bunch of They never been in the locker room They don't know

They don't know They don't know So good See I think about this generation They're more concerned With going viral Okay I'm going to go

viral? Okay. I'm back. Dude, nothing like telling somebody to go to break and they just nail it. Or when you don't think they're ever going to do it and then they do it like sneaky and you got to hit the button.

Oh. Like, I don't think you saw me. I'm over here. Sweating. Yeah, I'm going to get fired. Hey, you're starting to your arms are getting, they're getting up higher and they're doing longer.

breaks. At first you're like, yeah, and then you're thinking, yeah, I don't know. That was kind of, maybe his head was down. I don't know. But then you started going to, you started doing the YMCA. We got a hard ass. Yeah, for everybody, everybody in the clubhouse, this is all behind the scene. BTS, BT has of station work. Stationing on a back on a break. So you're running the board You're running the board Right that's pushing the buttons You're producing

You know Really not doing anything You have to You have to get the You have to get the You have to get the The host to break To the commercial

Hey you gotta pay the bills Gotta keep the lights out of out of air You gotta get him to break McKin's meat right Okay Somebody got to keep a roof overhead Huh Gotta bring home the bacon

Right But you're doing that And like they'll be going on a rant You know They'll be getting just crazy Just just just just going off And they'll be You have a certain time that you have to hit

They're like hey we got to go to break We got to go to break You're warning them Got to go to break And a lot of times hosts would just like blow it off And you're just like All right easy

Crazy Then they run out of stuff to talk about It's like well Try telling you Try back Look back Look back And then there's a there's a like 1.2 second beat because you they throw you for a loop and you're not ready and you kind of stumble over hitting the commercial to start.

Mm-hmm. You know, everybody in the car's like, wrong button. And that's when you got dead air. That never forget. That doesn't happen with their show. They don't happen with their show. There's just locked. Lock the you know what in.

Never forget. I was doing the overnight. And I forget what. I fell asleep randomly and it just was double audio for an hour. I was like, it's a card you're going to play when you hire me for the overnight, man. When you'd work those overnights, there would be some intrusive thoughts in your head.

You're like, I can just fire up the mic right here and say whatever I want. It's 318 a.m. Who's going to hear me if I start like freestyle rapping right now over? You know, it really was. Christmas Eve 418 a.m. W.I.B.C. What if I freestyle?

What if I freestyle a Santa song? Yeah, intrusive thoughts for sure. That's the king of them. Dude, but you'd be surprised because some of those times, something would slip up accidentally. You're like, yeah, no one heard anything. All of a sudden, the phone light started blinking. You're like, oh, holy.

Never forget the one time I had to call, like, the main engineer at like 418 a.m. It's like, hey, bro, I don't know you. You don't know me, but nothing's playing right now. I have no idea what to do. And I've worked here for four years. Hey, Hey, Skyler, can you please make sure that we get this turn back on here? Nothing worse than always being on call.

Radio guy who's always on call. Just have the drop of a hat has to wake up and run to the station. Station. Or it's literally the building's burning down. Yeah. God dang. How I prayed for that every night. Every place I've ever worked, I'm like,

Can somebody just bomb this place? For the love of God. I'm like, not one time it can happen to the place I work. This place can't catch on fire once? We can't. Just for like an extra day off. I mean, I don't even shut it down permanently. Just like.

Yeah. Give me a week. Why can't afford F-150 run into the front of our building real quick? Dude, you know what the, I think the best option of this flooding. all of a sudden you're building like the the pipes burst in your building what do we do you got to take a couple days

get this real worked out all the systems down because all the hard wiring the carpet's all wet but like you're gonna go back and it's a pretty it's not a devastating thing no one's getting hurt

the pipes just broke you're flooding nothing it's a natural disaster you know they run back the tape it's just me and you hanging from a pipe I think it'll break.

We stay here for like three more minutes. Just don't want to go to work that bad. Just a natural work disaster. The security tape's blacked out for 17 minutes because we're like, what happened to that 17 minutes? No idea. That's a good question. I wish I knew because I'm ready to get back to work.

I'm ready to get back to work. What the hell is going on over there? She's just like, what are you going to do, though? I mean, it's flooded. What are you going to do? Oh, my God. They're showing some baseball season is upon us, man. And the new food that comes every year and the different sort of dishes that they serve it in.

I'm looking at it right now on Sunday night baseball. they got something in Seattle. It's like a big, a big, I don't know, tugboat or something and they're serving like loaded tater tots of the top of them. That really just makes a lot of stuff together.

And if I went to a baseball game, I would not get that, you know? You're just like, there's no way that it's going to be any, like, close to being good at all. Because it's all for the story. It's all for the story. It's all for the show.

I'll talk. I get there. Just let me get out of dog. It's like, it's like those, those, those, um,

freestyle soda machines. You know, everybody thinks they're all big. Oh my God. Wow. I can get orange vanilla cream sickle coke with cherry. No,

that's, that's all for show. That's all to get your mind. Oh my God. Uh, and then it just degrades the quality of the product. Mm-hmm. me every time water with no ice

in one of those machines. Hey man. I'm not getting creamsical doctor pepper right now. I'll get a headache. Just water no ice in one of those cups that isn't even like a cup

that they sell, you know? It's like a Dixie cup. Yeah. At Mo's drill. Let's just stick to the basics, babe. You know? Straight water. Hey, I'm gonna let the food do the talking.

I mean, not even water with the drink. It's like you go to a ball game, stick to the basics. Hot dog, peanuts, soft pretzel, maybe nachos. That's it. Notches if it's like a weekend. Yeah. You know, it's like, that's just, you know, those foundational pieces of the foundational pieces of a franchise.

Foundation. How about this? You have a left tackle. You got a pass rusher. Got the head coach. You got to have the quarterback. When you're at a ballpark, the four foundational pieces, man.

Basics, babe. Let's get back to the fundamentals. You got a girlfriend. She's getting sushi. Can we get back to the fundamentals, babe? What are you talking about? Crag some peanuts. What are we doing?

Diet Coke and peanuts. You're in desperate need of building up the trenches. You need to build up the trenches. You need a left tackle. And right now, you're reaching for a wide receiver in the first round. It's not a sexy piece. pick when we're going to a baseball game, babe. It's not a sexy pip.

It's what we need. It's what we need. We're rebuilding. It's insane. All for show. All for show. Pretty sick that Seattle has a Nintendo as their sponsor. You know, baseball teams are all. Yeah, I just looked up.

Baseball teams are all getting. On the base? No, it's like the, it's the jersey patch. Wow. Cleveland has marathon. Marathon gas station That's hard That's hard

Oh Kind of going back to what we were Shit Where you're saying No this is the AFC NFC for Duncan and Starbucks Starbucks with Seattle Duncan on the

pads. Oh, nice. Yeah, Patriots Duncan Donut. So they just like, wait, hold on.

Why is Patriots the Gillette, though? They are. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Totally.

That's a good call. The font, everything just kind of matches. The color wave just kind of matches. But I mean, that's their stadium rights.

Again, so it's like, they could, they could double up. They could double up for sure. So they just, like, do NFL parallels every week. Everything they can think of, they just, like, say what an NFL team would be. I literally hate it.

Like, our podcast is so, like, not for that girl that she has to keep listening to it. She's like, there's no way it's like this every week, you know? Like, we have a whole demo of, like, hot girls that are like, there's just no way. Dude, so I told you last week. So bad. It's good. How right threw on that. I told you how last week I threw on the headset when we were on the way home from PA.

But on the way out there, I was listening to, I was listening to my guy, Dave Damasek, his show, Football America. And he had on Daniel Jeremiah. And I love both those guys. They've been nothing but great to me. And they do good shit. You know, it's draft season coming up. So I always want to hear what DJ has to say. But we were listening to it.

And I thought, right, was just like, I thought, you know, she's on her phone. I thought she was just like vegine out,

not paying attention to anything. Yeah. And literally at one point, she just goes, they are literally speaking Chinese. I have no idea what the fuck they're talking about. Because DJ was going through like what the, what his ideal nickel corner is now in today's modern NFL.

And I'm sitting there and I'm driving. I'm like, that's so true. I'm like, dude, yeah, we need. like a, you know, we need like a bigger physical. When he, he was saying how, not a football podcast, but he was saying how like, you know,

for the longest time, the nickel corner was kind of the undersized corner who, you know, I was a little scrappy, could cover, could blitz, but he was typically undersized, you know, and now everybody's kind of flipping it to go into a nickel corner that's just kind of this chest piece like a Derwin James or Kyle Hamilton or a Nick Imidwari from the Seahawks. that's bigger that can defend the run, can come at the box, a little bit more of a physical presence, can also cover.

Or a rover. Right. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And so Riley, she was like, and so I thought about it from her range, and I was like,

yeah, he has spent out a lot of words that are like, huh? So for the next 35 minutes, dude, it was the best. Riley was actively, like,

trying to figure out what these words meant. And so I was running her through. Like, yeah, so you have, like, you have your base defense. I started.

I was like, you have your base defense and you have these positions that are out there. And so then on a nickel, you bring in an extra defensive back, right? Going through all this, it was, I taught her like, it was so funny. But I couldn't believe it kept going. I just wanted her to keep asking questions. Oh, my God. It's like, you know, I mean, for those of your parents out there or, I don't know, maybe a situation like this with your girl where something that you want them to be interested in,

that they're not really, but then all of a sudden they kind of start. and you're like, oh, man, please ask another question. Please, let me, let's get into this. That's exactly what happened. Like I told her, and I started getting a little, I started getting a little like, I was trying to, yeah, I was trying to show it off a little bit. I was like, hey, all right, I got a little fun one for you that I bet you probably do. I was like, I've got a little fun one for you.

You probably didn't realize. I was like, you know when that receiver kind of runs towards the line of scrimmage and then runs back to where he went? She's like, yeah? Why does he? I don't want to say why he does that. I was like, he's trying to tell the quarterback if it's man or zone coverage. Oh, boy.

She was like, she's like, the whole time I just thought he was trying to be like silly and like, you know, fake out the defense. And I was like, yeah, I mean, you know, it is kind of like, what the hell is that guy doing? What, what was that for if he just goes back to the same spot? I was like, it's a, it's a, it's a tell, right? It's a tell. That's crazy. Dude, there's like, there's no better feeling. When your girl asks you a question

than about something you're interested in, and she's all the years when you're breaking it down, it's like top one of one. It's like, it's almost to the point, like, when your girl is like, I don't want the rest of this food. And you're like, it's like that kind of fear. Like, let's go.

There's a couple of those things that your girl does that you're just like, yo, I cannot. You never went at the moment to end. When you get, hey, when you're, when you've been out with the, when you've been out with the boys like day drinking. And then it's like kind of get evening time and then all of a sudden you get the text that you get the text that you, you get the text that you think's going to be like, you need to get home. It's time to come home. You get the text. She says, why don't you just stay out with the boys and have fun?

Oh my God. Yeah, but me. Then I'm like double thinking. I'm like, is she mad? Like, what's the tone of this text, you know? Like, is this like a test? I'll overthink my way into hell, dude. Context is definitely key.

Context is definitely key. But like if everything's been good all day, you know, you've been in communication and you need to be. Yeah, yeah. Like she seems to be all right. Good spirits. Maybe you have a phone call, you know? I'll never forget. I got to step out.

I was at, yeah, I was in, I went to live golf with some buddies last year in Indy. I'd been out all day at that golf tournament, you know, having fun, having drinks, you know, away. and then like I we're Uber and back to my buddy's place. I was like, yeah, I'll probably just like get an Uber back to my house when we get to your place or whatever it was. But I called her. I checked in. She's like, yeah, yeah, I'm getting ready to do bedtime.

Like you know, you can tell them the tone. You can tell them the voice. I'm like, all right, so she's cool. This is good. And then all of a sudden just get that text. And I'm thinking it's a text that's going to be like, I thought you said you're coming home. Like you need to, you should probably get home.

And then it was, it literally said like, why don't you just stay with Alex. Like the kids are down. I want you to stay with Alex and have fun if you want. And I was like, oh my God. Guilt-free night? It's up there. Mel's top moments, guilt-free night.

Oh, yeah. Guilt-free night creeping into top three, Christmas Eve being one. Snyder Stamps. Why is Christmas Eve a guilt-free night? Just because you eat whatever you want for the only time of the year. No, no, no. I'm just talking about like the first night.

best moments. Oh, but yeah, that too. I was going to say. I was like, it is kind of. I was like,

I don't feel guilty about anything on Christmas Eve ever. Like, best, best times, best times of your life, Christmas Eve won, guilt-free night too.

NFL draft day two. Number one is not even day one, day two. Bro, never forget. Saddest moments, Mel's saddest moments when me and you were eating

out of Chipole and the draft ended. And me and you just sat there in silence for like 17 minutes. I was like, I don't know. We're not going to hear that music for another year. You go, dude, it's kind of sad. I don't know. I remember that.

What were we doing? Why are we at that Chipotle? I'm like, we couldn't be at a more random Chipotle downtown. I don't know. There's times back then where like me and you were just together all the time. Just we were like, we just got to wait out to figure something out to do. So we might as well just like, I don't know, roll around. Fuck what I had to say

I was supposed Yeah yeah yeah Because you know what day two Day two of the draft is Christmas Eve man No pressure No pressure on day You can make mistakes on day two You can just get somebody

Take a chance But you still know that you got The weekend and you got rounds four through seven It's not over yet We're not done yet baby Four through seven on your TV is so You're like we got rounds dog. We got rounds today.

And every time you check back into the TV, it just, you know, right where you're at. I take that back. It's not Christmas Eve. Night two, the drafts, rounds two and three. That's like that, that's like, that's like that second wave on Christmas day when it's like 435 and you're like, I'm going to pop up and some wine. We're getting ready to have a good dinner. We're bouncing back. Christmas night? Christmas night. It's not done. It's not done yet. It's Christmas. night. We're feeling holly jolly.

Yep. Still got to go to another Christmas too. Like there might be a present there. And then rounds 4 through 7 is like post 9 p.m. When you're just like, oh, God. The last round of the draft is a little. Hey,

but you're always kind of like, hey, it could be that guy. What if we get? Yeah. It's looks like a cool kick returner, you know. Hey, first rounds for flashing headlines Round 4 through 7 is where the titles are built Meat and potatoes, man, fundamentals. You're talking Mel's Best Available.

Good segue. Let's head into Mel's Best Available for this week. A little bit of an interesting one here, so I'll let you take over. Mel's Best Available, Best Shoulders. Best Shoulders. you've seen. It can be in sports.

It can be in whatever. See, I kind of... I mean, I think everybody knows is number one. I know, I know mine. You go first, no, no, no, no. You go first. This is, you want to do this one. You pitched it.

And so you go first, but I kind of, I know what you're saying, but I win a different way. You can go to whatever. I went a little bit of a different way. So you should. start. You're talking about like shoulders on the interstate or something? Best shoulders.

Love that shoulder. Mel's best available. Best shoulder. Best pair of shoulders. Dwight Howard. Yeah. I mean, I mean, whoof, poking out. Never seen a better pair.

Can't take my eyes off of it, honestly. And the way that the NBA jersey just fit around. Them. Pretty insane. To Dwight Howard's shoulders. But even in those slam magazines when he's like

in his high school uni, Joe's popping out. 17 year old Dwight Howard. Pretty insane. You're right. This is the first thing. When you're watching an NBA game that features Dwight Howard

and you see him with a free, I mean, that's the first thing they guys go to when you see him at the free throw line or see a one-off shot to him like on the bench like what's going on there I can't believe they're real

Alien just the dealt poppin Yeah when you pitch that When you pitch that I knew that that was That was gonna be one It just has to be I kind of didn't even want it to be Because he's just like the poster child

For shoulders But I mean dang With the sleeves too He was wearing the sleeves So they popped out even more I just Come on

Yeah, yeah, baby, yep, Mel's best available shoulders. I'm going to go cold, the cold shoulder. I never, it's like, everybody knows about them. You don't want to get the cold shoulder, but when you give a cold shoulder kind of feels good. Like, like what? Like, give me an example of a cold shoulder. You know, when you and your buddy are out at a bar restaurant

and you see somebody that, you know, you think that you know pretty well or you thought that you had a different kind of relationship and but he's really close with him so you go up and say what's up to him. And he kind of talks to your friend, but he doesn't really say a whole lot to you. Kind of, you know, when you're saying bye,

you know, he's like shaking up, giving a hug to your buddy and then just kind of like, you're like, damn, man, he had something. He just gave me the cold shoulder. Ah. Wow. but if that happens sometimes when you're when it's necessary

and you have to you know you have to send a little message you got to give a cold shoulder you kind of walk it. Powerful. Yeah. Powerful move. Cold pretty solid. Yeah. Mel's best available.

Best shoulders. Toss up here. A lot on the board right now. Mm-hmm. I'm going to go Andre Igwadala. Oh. kind of like Dwight Howard Light when it comes to that.

Kind of like didn't get enough respect for what he was I was like, is anybody seeing this? Andre A. Wadala, it's like for his career too. I'm like, wait, he's like the, he's like a, I can't even explain his like position.

He's like a slasher, swing man on every team, almost won the dunk contest, plays a good defense, body. Just not many jack guys in the NBA like that. Hey, name, too? You don't think of a lizard? Every time you hear Andre Iguado, what are you doing? Every time I hear Andre Iguidola, I'm like, Andre iguana.

It's what he is. Just go to Arizona and just, uh, go around. From Arizona. Get out where all the lizards are. Get out of here, man. Can we talk about that for a minute? Not real. You think he went to Arizona?

He was like, my family's there. A bunch of lizards You like go You can see that being like a Like a hidden camera On a hidden camera show You go to Arizona And like a national park

Or like the zoo down there And you just go up next to people When they're looking at the lizards In the desert And you're like yeah that there That's the Iguodala It's just him on a rock What kind of species is that one

That's the iguadala It's known for being Very structured Kind of in his shoulder arm range, very versatile, can leap from rock to rock. Great.

Wow, the Iguadala. Oh, yeah, okay. Just roll with it. You're on a safari cart. Yeah. That 2015 run he had when he was the finals of the,

or when he was the MVP of the finals. But then also he had that meme that went crazy viral. Well, I remember when he's like, he's doing that. crazy walk off the floor. He like had his head down and... Lizard walk. Hey. All in the same run. MVP and went mega viral for a meme. Before that was even happening

really. And he was like past his prime then. That's what I'm... Andre put some respect on him. When he got to Philly with Iverson, I was like in Corver was there. I was like, yo, this is a squad. Black jerseys. Iggy, nine. Hey, if I see somebody in an AI black jersey, cool. Iguodala black jersey. Oh, yo. Made those fat sleeves look good with the delts. Now we're talking.

Now we're talking. Really good one. All right. Me, Mel's best available shoulder. The lateral from Randy Moss over his shoulder. What? I mean, did they practice that? I remember seeing that play when I was a kid

And I was like, God, that's like, that has to be the nastiest play football play I've ever seen my at the buzzer Over the shoulder lateral from Randy Moss To who though, to who? Oh, it was a was it? Was it Kevin Williams? I don't know.

Got to know now. Got to know. Now. Vikings Clubhouse screaming at the top of their lungs right now. screaming so hard that blood's coming out of their eyes. Hey, Mo Williams. Oh, also that name. Hey, was he there running back?

Yeah. And he was just trailing downfield. Mo Williams. It was like the end of the half. And so Dante Culpepper, he had all the time. And so he rolled all the way out through it. And so I think it was almost like a Franco Harris situation where Mo Williams is like, yeah, I'll just run after the ball, you know?

Dude, I'm thinking that's, okay, Jerome Simpson, end zone flip one, that's got to be two. What the hell, man. And it was Randy Moss Peak. Like, he's doing that too. He's throwing dimes. Hey, you know what he's wearing when he did that? Jordan 11s. With purple.

Like, speechless, man. Name a cooler guy. Probably had the afro coming out of the helmet, too. That was a crazy cool look. I was like, he's doing that. Nick and Super freak. All right. I'm done.

I got to go. Not a Randy Moss podcast. It really is, though. And that's fine. It's totally fine. Can't believe they had Chris Carter too. What a duo. All right.

You finish it up here? Yeah, I don't want to. I just want to keep talking about. That's fine. Let a rub. Can the Vikings just go back to that purple? What are we have to do? What do we have to say?

I think everybody wants it. Why do the Vikings have a black face mask? No, and I'll ever know. Yeah. Bad, bad choices. Matt helmet. All right.

I went to like a swimming camp or something. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. I'm so bad at swimming, I think. Tough. Real tough. But you're like, yeah, no wonder those kids could eat like three trays of

fried chicken sandwiches and country fried steak. And they still look like this. Swimmers in high school always kind of freaked me out, though. Yeah. They always had like blonde thinning hair. I was like, yeah. What the hell is going on on the swim team? They were like hockey jerseys on Fridays.

I was like, what, what? It's a swim cap and the chlorine, and that's where my hair is green and falling out. It's like, I hope so. Get that under control, dog. Kind of looks like you have something. Dude, there was always, there was always a swimmer. Dude, I swear to God, a swimmer and a soccer player, not a high school podcast. A swimmer and a soccer player every year that there would be like all,

there'd be like a two-month span where like the hot girls in your class were like obsessed with this guy. You're like, ah, damn it. He doesn't have hair. He's a hot new thing. Can you guys get back to the fundamentals of hot guys?

It's not the swimmer with the blonde hair. Come on. Jeez. Such a fling. But yeah, we'll invite him if you're going to come to. Because you're like, he'll probably leave pretty early

because nobody's going to be talking to him. I'm definitely not going to be. Oh, dang it. So your hands like always prune, you don't even know how to, like, invite them. I don't wear my... We don't wear our swim caps. Kind of a cool tradition, though, you know?

Team Tradish. When, like, everybody on your team, like, has a mustache for some reason. You're like, all right, okay. Sure. For every, every football team, seniors, buzzed head. All right.

Hey, when the Pacers that one year all shaved their heads Do you remember that? Rick Smith's even committed to the bit. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know when Rose shaved head? I don't know what you're talking about.

One year they all wore black shoes too. I was like, okay, let's go. We're doing so? Boom, baby, right? All right. Mel's best available. Shoulders, I got an actual one here for you here.

And so it's sad they're always dressing like that. But in the scene, they're all literally kind of letting every, letting the guard down a little bit. They're eating Chinese dinner. They're waiting for this call. Very important scene. They're waiting for this call. and Sonny, he doesn't have his dress shirt or his jacket on.

He's just got the suspenders. And he's rocking it. So the people out there, Godfather fans will know. And I sent it to you. It's all right. Well, it's not coming through yet, but we'll get it. Guys that don't have internet access. Good Wi-Fi.

Whole life's on the internet, do a podcast remotely, and have bad Wi-Fi. Yeah. God, dang. Um, yeah, but, uh, wearing a tank, a beater is, you can't look, it's hard to look bad sometimes, you know? Especially when you, especially when it's tucked into pants. Oh my God. That's a pure look. Clean.

Street fight Throw the records out You guys got a chip on his shoulder How come every time I heard that growing up I was just literally thought of a Dorita on somebody's shoulder. I was like, what does that even mean?

Oh, bro, but once you get, once you get branded as chip on the shoulder guy, it's with you forever. Like, Aaron Rogers, still, it's like the third thing that people will bring up when they talk about him. Hey, you know, this guy, he's a little, you know, he's a little out there. He's a free spirit. Got a big chip on his shoulder from getting, yeah. Hey, what's the biggest chip on your shoulder team? I know there's one. I can't think of it right now, but there's always a,

hey, they got a chip on their shoulder. It's like Illinois Final Four or something, you know? No, give me a sec. Slept on team. The team with Jamir Nelson. St. Joe's. Yeah, they for sure had a chip on their shoulder, dude. No.

Chips on the shoulder. Chills on shoulders. No, it's like a scrappy. It's like a scrappy college football team that just, you just run it. It's just a buzz saw that you go in there and to their house. Probably like a noon kickoff, a little bit of a sleepy,

and you just, this team just absolutely blast you. Tough place to play. I'm thinking like, I'm thinking like a South Carolina team on like a noon kickoff when one of the big dogs comes in there. Scary. You better not look over South Carolina.

Don't gloss over the cocks. You're coming to play. Bush is in the end zone. They're quarterback. Kind of nice. Inter-sand-man happening. Or no, not Sandman.

Fuck, Mr. Wetzel's song. Not a high school podcast. Sandstorm. That's what South Carolina. Mel's best available team songs. Saying, could be something. We're going to forget him. Got a lot of options.

Got a lot of options here. All right, one more for honor roll mentioned. David Robinson. Great shoulders. Yeah. Never watching. Yeah. Watching him play, I was like, whoa, nobody else looks like that.

Great arms. I was kind of thinking Tim Duncan a little bit too. When he first brought this up, Tim Duncan popped into my head. I don't know if it's just because he's kind of. He's so tall, the NBA jersey. He's fundamental. He's kind of, I don't know.

But yeah, yeah, yeah. The Tando of them together. A lot of shoulder there. One more. Paulo Creed. All right, let's move on. God damn. But geez, dude.

Cuban, Wade, we've done this show for three years. He's never been more excited to do anything more than that right there. That segment. It's over. That topic. Promise is over, Brunnen. Ingram. Can't tell me.

You know, an NBA pillars take off their jersey and they have like the tight, like dry fit under? It's like super beater. Brandon Ingram wearing that, I'm like, all right,

all right, enough. That's it, that's it. Ivan Drago. Guy who's seen one movie. All right. Oh, stupid.

All right. AFC NFC. NFC of the week here. AFC Family guy AFC The Simpsons NFC

Wow It is You're right So true Man For a minute I was like wait It's just

It always There's never a 50-50 Really Except for that PS2 Xbox Or PlayStation Xbox Still can't

really decide on what that is for some reason. It's almost, it's almost PlayStation Xbox is almost like it's almost like Texas Oklahoma. It's almost like Bears Packers. Yeah.

Like two iconic brands and they're just rivals that are just in the same, the same division. Nintendo, AFC. Yes. Right?

Yeah. Okay. Man, Simpson's family guys is a pure AFC, NFC battle. I'd watch that fight all day. Because family guy, where did that air initially? Like what station? Stationed up at.

I think it's always been Fox. Axe. Was it always on Fox? Was it on like something weird for a minute? It wasn't on TVS for a minute, was it? All the reruns used to go on TV. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. All the reruns used to go on TV.

Dude, I'll never forget this. It just got me through like four years of my coming of age on Monday night. There would be four straight hours of family guy on TBS. And on Tuesday night, there'd be four straight hours of the office on TBS. So Monday and Tuesday, I'm like, worst two days of the week, fucking need something to get me through. And I knew that once I got my shit done or probably didn't get my shit done, bedtime. Like, I'm chilling. I got family guy on, but for four hours.

Because not that we're not that we're ancient. or anything. But that was before the days when everybody just had Netflix on your Roku TV and the streaming services where you could just get everything. Like, you had to rely on that shit, find something good on just straight cable. And I knew I could rely on Family Guy, four hours on TBS on Monday, the office, four hours on TBS on Tuesday. It's a comforting place when you know you got that hanging over here, you know,

you're like, ooh, we got family got a night though. It's all good. Dude, it would, bro. I'm not kidding. It would get me through. like when I it would be like fifth period on a Monday and I'm kind of like geez man like just dragging you got to have something all of a sudden some would click I'd be like oh dude for four hours of family guy tonight let's go just me and the

TV nobody else nothing else matters text in a girl I was gonna say but I was like I say that too much I was like I can't say texting your texting your crush hey you're kind of funny, you're like on it because family guy is like on it. Nothing. Hey, hey. Funny text guy. Hey, Mel's best moments. You're sitting there 28 minutes into the first hour of family guy.

You get a text from the crush. What are you doing? Smiley face. Hey, seven wise. She thought of me? She thought of me. You like start dancing. Immediately go to the.

kitchen and get something to eat immediately. Looking at your phone. Biggest smile ever, Dad. Oh, what's going on? You? Hey,

hey, get in a bag of Doritos. Just throw some Michael Phelps in. Never been happier. God, I'm a monster. God, dang it.

We're literally monkeys. Dorito fingers your dad yelling at you. What? What? Just so happy someone's giving you attention. Oh my God.

Literally two chimpanzees. That's best moment, yeah. Bell's best moments. Hey, present number three on Christmas. It's up there. Family guy was on adult swim for a while, which makes it a little more

kind of trickles into end. F. A little bit. Because Adults Swim, Cartoon Network, Cartoon. It's a whole thing. But no,

no, family guys is AFC. Yeah, I was just, yeah, just like the straight up, just the show. It's a shit.

For both of them. Take out where they aired. That's just how my brand wires it right there. So. No, it's a good one. I got one. Oh,

hey. Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I got two of them. God. You can do two. All right, all right, all right. This is crazy.

I don't want to be wrong. I just got to go with the gut feeling. Sam's Club AFC, Costco NFC. What's your basis? I don't know. I think Sam's Club was around earlier for some reason. That's just in my brain, though. I don't know what came first.

What came first? So Sam's Club or the Costco? But it just feels like Sam's Club was kind of doing it. They're established at the membership, a little more of an industrial feel in a Sam's Club. Kind of like, are we allowed to be in? Are we allowed to do this? Like, I've never seen anything like this.

That was my first impression. Costco, they kind of made it mainstream. It's kind of a little more viral. it's a little more upbeat in there. That's why I think. Okay. Yeah. So he's going to say that that's going to be AFC.

No, he's never been in a Sam's Club. He doesn't know. No, that's good. That's good. All right, give me the second one. Drums, NFC, flats, AFC. Wait, wait, wait, all right. Say it again.

Drums, NFC. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I don't know. about this one? I don't know. He doesn't know. He doesn't even eat wings. He doesn't even eat wings. He hasn't had a car but three years. Okay. Drums.

NFC. Flats, AFC. I want to switch it now. I want to switch it. No, no, no. You're right. It's right. I don't know if it is. It's right because drum at least in my head. Drums

are more of a fat guy wing. There's more fat guys in the NFC, I think, fandom. AFC, you got the Chargers, you got the Dolphins.

You got coastal cities. The Texans. They're slim. You know, and then with the drums, it's just like, it's just the drums, you're thinking of the

a big guys sitting around the table talking about the debarstart. It's good, man. Seriously, it's like, yeah, I mean, the cheese had dudes in Lambo, fucking bears, pretty much just the NFC North. That guy wing. It's good, you showed your work.

Guy showed his work. I was thinking, now you can go the opposite way. And I'll shut up soon because I know you want to move on. But flats, kind of a lot of work, kind of gritty kind of not the prettiest got to get in there

drums like the poster child yeah maybe I just don't know how to eat wings but it's a little more of a like you see a drum and a flat you're like I'm going to have to work a little bit for this flat you see a drum you're like I mean boom it's right there

I don't know corn on the cob style flat sometimes I'm like hold on you know Like, did I just get stabbed by a chicken bone? Yeah, I hear what you're saying, but for me, I just think of just like, just a big old beer drinking fat guy who just like takes the drum while he's got his bare head on. It's just like, ah, fuck out.

Yeah. And the flat is more, you know, somebody like a fellow like you who's like at the Chargers game, it's like, no sauce, actually. Just like, give me the skinny ones, kind of. A Custle Cities. Miami Los Angeles Boston to a certain extent I was love when he

like is kind of like his mind's like searching for something a little bit down so hard dog that is crazy say Custle Cities one more time and I'll leave you alone forever Coastal cities Coastal Cities Miami

Sandy beaches clear water good looking people Flat wings skinny wings wild to an extent so crazy you know what I'm saying that when he's like searching he like has the list going

and while he's on the second one he's thinking for the third and his eyes kind of get big uh boss for this person yeah that's wild as the herd so he's like do impressions the whole time or okay

dude when Colin Coward was on ESPN though Oh. That's like one of the first things me and you have bonded on. Colin Coward on ESPN was an animal problem. Oh, and he was in that little room just ripping. I was like, this guy is crazy. I love this guy. Dude, the little closet, man.

Oh. Ooh. I don't know. That era. And he was hungry too. You know. You know he was hungry. He's like, I'm the best.

he was just client in closet cowherd was like 2012 LeBron in Miami doing this that's that's that's something that's like a that's an edit that's that's gonna like pop up on our feet tonight yeah like ESPN cowherd you know those edits like people don't remember and then they flash it back and it's just like different he was putting his heart and soul into those episodes I mean he still is but there's just a different, like, energy back then. He was... Can't teach that, man.

Can't teach that. God, so true. Let's get to a couple clubhouse here. Team these guys at gmail.com. Shit. Let's see here. All right. Let's go to Charlie.

Very, very gummy worms. Mm-hmm. Charlie says Joey and B. Listening to last week's episode had to bring up the fact that very, very gummy worms have made an appearance in three of the last three shows starting when Joey grabbed them at the airport.

Yeah, that sounds about right. On a much more serious note, might have never made the league, but cannot believe you guys made it this far talking about best names and haven't mentioned the actual winner. The coldest to ever do it, Crawford. Uh-huh.

Your nickname is to ever do it and your true government name is DeColdest? Why is that something Ben would put on his kid's birth certificate thinking he can actually redo it, but the doctor takes it and submits it so his baby's name is DeColdus Crawford on purpose? It looks like he just transferred a gambling state from Louisiana Tech. Smack my ass with DeColdess Crawford's NIL check

for the incredible acting in this local AC commercial, Charlie. Yeah, I remember that. Do you remember those AC commercials that went viral? Mm-hmm. I just remember that name. like they're really like they're really doing that now

that's yeah it is the best but it's so ahead of the pack that it's just kind of like we don't even need to say it that's kind of why we haven't like it's so that you know

right it's a little it's a little two on the nose you know yeah I didn't realize that the to ever do it was like his actual

nickname You got to be so good to live up to that hype. His parents had to be like the coldest to ever transfer. Let's see a second. You go a few ways here. A lot of pressure on the kid. Dang. No, no big deal.

It's like, would you rather, would you, would you rather your name be Jesus or the coldest and play a sport? You need a nickname. Bad. You got to be so good. Exactly. Just tearing you apart. All right. Never mind.

Let's go to Nicholas. Says, now you're just... Hold on. Now you're just a gurbic that I used to know. These guys, all time, first time, convince more and more with each pod that we live in assimilation as everyone 28 to 38 and however old Benny is these days had the exact same experience growing up in literally every area of the country. Every school had the

Gerbach who went from Gatorade bottles of dip spit and his passenger side to a freshly vacuumed bright red Pontiac sunfire and maybe even a black ice scent little tree hanging from the rearview mirror when he gets the girl. Neck beard, cut off Sooners 2007 Football Clinic and back knee to an Abercrombie waffle maybe with three buttons up top? Clean cut and some pre-distressed jeans with not a single 10 ring on the back pocket. Accutane really changed him. Anywho, I listened in religiously and will continue till the end of time. Saw Benny three years back in Albany and was happy that we got a pick of me giving him a backside with the caption.

First time holding a dog. Hubbing to make it one of your guys next to these guys live pods, preferably another 1223 event as I am also a Christmas bitch. Keep an eye out for that, folks. Halster, AFC, Abercrombie, NFC? No for the questions for the boys. Just hope for a classic Joey Sports Talk Radio sign off. And thank you for the call. Appreciate it.

You'd call back any time, Nicholas. Hollister, AFC, Abercrombie, NFC. I remember that pick, bro. It's a good show. Love doing a comedy show in a mall. It's just something. It's just like... Ideal location.

What a... comfort, you know, for like an event that like kind of a lot of pressure. Just having it in a mall couldn't be a better spot. Just I walk out and see an anti-ans feel right at home. Totally agree. Totally agree. We were taking pictures like by an escalator. You know what I mean?

He sent it. I'm looking at it right now. Yep. You got down below you have now open sushi bar just like a plain ass sign. probably for a closed shop that is now a sushi bar. Kind of depressing. A little bit. Moles are kind of like.

They are, but it is so cool when you have a comedy club like that in there. You're just like, a quick 200 people in here. Kind of low, low, like it is the most pressure for us, but I feel like it's kind of like a low pressure for the audience. They're kind of like, I don't know. We just came from Applebee's right here.

I like where he's going with Halster AFC at Cromby NFC. Mm-hmm. Hollister is AFC, even though it's so dark in there. Which would make you think it's NFC, but it is,

I would go into Abercrombie sometimes when I was like a kid just to see how much stuff was. Like you ever do that? I'm like this polo is $75 looking at the tag. Like, oh my God, imagine buying that. Crazy. They fit so good though when you saw some, when you saw like a like a,

Dude dude I'm pushing tires Pushing the piece of shit Red pickup truck With the the senior junior junior sophomore

combo I thought that was amazing Gurb push will you be on my team for truck push i was like what are we doing truck push i guess i'm like dude i don't know if i'm going to be that much help honestly what was that even for was that we had like a we had like a skills competition like during two days to like kind of lighten it up a little bit no to think about it and there was like

fastest guy we were in like a hundred yard dash thing there was like a truck push there were 40s maybe. There was just like a bunch of competition. Like, and they split, we split the team up. So it got like real like, oh,

like they kind of have a squad. It was kind of fun. We did it like at night. Yeah. You'd want to, when you were a sophomore, you'd want to be like the sophomore that got on like a squad. Yeah,

yeah. Right. Because that's how we go. I was like, you know, and then they drafts. Okay. It's coming back to me now.

But there was like a, I don't know what we did, but there was like a little competition. It wasn't like ultimate frisbee. It was. something like not football that like I made it cool. But yeah, truck push was one of the things.

And I was like, Gerbach truck push calves. Mm-hmm. Yep. Let's go to Adam. Summer's over. These guys, longtime listeners,

second time email, they're saved last week's podcast episode to listen on my flight. You guys have me dying laughing. Thanks for a bunch of strangers. Ashley voice literally. I see laughing. I don't get it. Keep up for great work.

Always look forward to the new episodes. Thanks, man. And you're right. Ashley, pretty fitting for a name there. Talking about doing the old ladder drills, brought me back to indoor workouts growing up and wanting younger classmen to go in front of you if you had to do a drill that you just couldn't seem

to get down the footwork. Or having to follow up an upperclassman who did it flawlessly, literally the worst. Why did it feel like if you did one of those ladder drills perfect that you told yourself, wow, I'm going to make it to the league? Just to mess up next time, you would just start a question

if you were even going to make the team and ultimately have one of those silent car rides home and my dad's 2008 Chevy and Paula knowing I had 10 pages of math homework and a science test in the morning. I'd for sure fail. Awesome stuff. Question for you guys.

What's the craziest, funniest thing you've ever seen at a tryout for a high school sport before? We had one kid, one time about to run the 60 for my high school baseball tryouts, not a local pod. Come out to the track and nothing but tights as if he was trying out for Olympic qualifiers. Ended up running one of the most average 60 times of the day. We'll never forget it.

Slap my ass with the assistant coach's clipboard that he never used for anything. Just had to complete the coach look. Stopwatch, khaki pants, short sleep, batting jacket, bucket hat, can of grizzly winter green, locked and loaded. Sit from my home computer that has a million viruses on it after I downloaded Roscoe Dash's new song on Limewire

and now my dad's pissed. So true. Rosco Dash, man. Yeah, that was like man, you get some new Roscoe Dash. It's going to be a wild weekend. He had some heat there for a minute. Hey, did he die? Rasko Dash.

Is he dead? Who knows? Oh, shit. All the way turned. Come on. R. O.S.C. Oh, man.

When that came in, you just watch out. Such a summer spring break, like, rap guy. Just every song he had. I was like, God, this is warm weather music. See, but also could be a little Christmas break basement party. I'm thinking about that too.

Hey, everybody in sweats and waffles and a flat bill, water bottle. Florida Gators' Lanyard. Florida Gators, Lanyard, Seattle Mariners hat, flat bill. Who's your favorite player? Jeff Demps? Shut up.

Elite socks. Nike sweats that you just got for Christmas two days before. comfyest they'll ever be. Don't want to wash them. I'm not taking them off. Hey, kind of muddy at the bottom from the ice and slush outside. You're trying not to make it a thing.

You're like, at least they're black. Yeah, we're good. We're good. Slip your shoes off. Bottom of your elite socks. Completely brown. Because he went outside for his two seconds. Because you're in your garage just trying to get like a Pepsi or something.

Wear just your socks in the garage. It gets so dirty. Silver dollar-sized hole Your boy got the gray Nike sweats And you're like Yeah I should have got them No no you're like

Should have got the blacks dog Do you get none of these stains None of the mud None of the ice None of the wet You can be all covered up Shirt over thermal though That guy

It's crazy Franklin Central basketball Campt shirt over a white thermal With the blue on top I'm like Kind of a dog Might steal my girl Kansas City Royals flat bill

Okay You just color coordinate everything Okay They just put together Like high school outfits On their podcast Or what they do I like like

Like them sometimes But just like Let it go Like, okay, you're in high school 20 years ago. Okay. Can we break down this fit real quick, though? Blue Royals hat. Franklin Central basketball camp.

Hey. Shirt. What's up? Not the straight blue royals. Baby blue on the lid. Oh, that's dirty. Royal blue bill. It's going to be a big night.

Had it. If he's got that hat it. He's got that. I hat it. If he's got that on, bro, that's a big. Big night. Something's going on. Like the best basketball game of the year.

That was that night. White Nike shocks on, kind of dirty. It's all good. It's one of those. It's just like, they kind of look better. Yeah. I wear them a lot. Whatever.

They get a little personality to them. It's like a new, hey, it's like when you wear a hat and the hat's got a little bit of the, a little bit of the sweat stain, you know? First time you saw that. I was like, hey, you and your boys just all wearing the AL Central Division and hats. So I just got a white socks, just a regular ass black white socks hat on. That's a clean hat. I still see that hat at Lids and I'm like, it's black and white socks.

Has it changed ever? The things that you could do with that fit. Yep. Wow. Al Central and I boys Yeah Come on

Get the Cleveland hat out I know you got the Kid Cutty C I know you get the Kid Cuddy C in there Tiger is just the D I like M&M Bro we're just honestly We're just running through my closet of hats When I was 18

You had to meet What else did you have Had that Royals one that I said Had the Cleveland C The Kid Cuddy Had the Tide Tigers, this Tigers was the craziest. It was a Navy blue bill.

Gray. Gray. Gray dome. Did it have the tiger in it? Yes, dude. It had the D with the tiger crawling ad, but I was like, hard. I couldn't find that anywhere. Oh my God.

War it to, war it to Drake, Wiz Khalifa in like July of 2012. I left an hour into the concert. I was like, fuck this. I went to that too. I didn't even want to go in. Yeah.

I was like, I don't want to go to this anymore. Yeah. but I think that might have been the coolest hat I've ever had It's a good one Reminiscant podcast Do you have a Braves Atlanta Braves hats were so sick I thought Yep, I had a Braves

All white No red bill blue Oh no it wasn't red It was red bill blue but it had like the Tomahawk in it Doesn't get much better in that tomahawk On the jersey for them Yeah

Yeah Maddox on the back. All right, let's answer this question from Adam. Crazy shit that showed up at a tryout or crazy thing that happened that showed up at a tryout that happened at a trial. Wait, what kind of, what was it again? What tryout?

He was there running a 60-yard dash for, their high school baseball tryouts and they had it at the track and this dude came out like super tight shorts like he was a an Olympic track like Usain Bolt Mm-hmm. We started doing that at football

for 40s. Once one guy goes compression shorts only it's like I mean I'm not going to be the guy like what if that's the difference between like four something and four you know had to do it. We're stripping down. We didn't care.

Mm-hmm. All for handheld 40s. None of it even was real. Nope. 4-4-1-40. I was like, whoa. We have the fastest team in the nation. And then you play an actual fast team and you're like,

we're not so white. You have the handheld. Okay. I'm like, why are we such a fast team and we have a fullback? Something's not adding up here. Oh. I don't know. Yeah, it's been a while, man.

I got yelled at a tryout one time. I was like, God, dang, man, at the tryout even? Yeah. That was kind of crazy to me. I remember we had this in basketball. It wasn't like a crazy thing that somebody did or happened, but like there was this drill that we had to do where it was around the world. And it was all just about like competing and everything and, you know,

testing if you could get a stuff. stop one-on-one, your skill set or whatnot. And this one dude would just, so what you had to do is like you'd roll to the corner. You had a guy at the corner, got the way and got the top of the key, weighing corner. And there'd be, it was just one-on-one for five times. So you'd start and you'd roll it out to the corner. You'd play one-on-one. One defender.

And if you got to stop, yeah, if you got the stop, then you were good. The next person would be up. but if they kept scoring, it would go to the next guy, go to the next guy, go to the next guy. And man, this poor dude.

People getting buckets on them. Probably just went around the horn. Probably went around the world probably like four or five times. Get a stop. At one point I thought about it. I was like, should I just,

are we being, we're kind of being a dix here. Should I throw this? You know? He's going to lose his passion. Yeah. He's going to like, this might be the origin story

for something pretty, dark here. That starts kind of like going through your head a little bit. Oh yeah. Start having a little too much fun. Like I'm kind of talking shit a little bit. I'm like, I'm a bully now.

Yeah. He's going to tell his like mom about this. His mom's going to start like giving me dirty looks when we have like events at school. So then you kind of like dribble one. You dribble out here a little bit. He steals it. Oh.

All right man. Yeah, it's all good. Yeah. Not that crazy, though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Dang it. Dang. Shit. Start laughing out. Start laughing at him a little more the next day. Hey, don't kill yourself, dude. God, dang.

Oh. Let's finish up with Paul here. Little League uniforms. Hey, fellas. Love the show. Brings an hour and a half of pure smiles every Tuesday. Thanks, Paul. It means a lot.

Anyways, I was wondering if you had any god-off or jerseys when you played in Little League. When I was 10, we were the Baltimore Orioles and wore these bright orange polyester jerseys. And every one of them on the team hated them. Looking back, were they low-key fire? You guys have any bad ones? Paul in L.A. Are they low-key fire? L.A. where, bro?

Yeah, I was going to say. Yeah, I mean, like, at that time, the Orioles were ass. and it's just a random team because they're wearing those uniforms at the moment but now we've come full circle where you got the script Orioles going across orange and black Hey did they win recently?

No Why did I see an Orioles jersey with that gold outline on it? I was like oh that's the coolest thing the MLB does Yeah The world is like the next time The Royals had the gold

I was like oh Yep yep No, I think it was looking pretty good looking at it Looking back at him now, Paul Yeah, it's just so funny Because he never really played literally Did you've been? Yeah

Yeah So Like I mean I'm sure it works different ways in different places But like yeah you'd basically You know the teams in the league would be Major League Baseball teams you know Like I play for the Orioles I play for the Dodgers I never got on a cool team

Yeah That just never happened It was never in the cards dude I never kind of like You know how there are some kids That wouldn't play for the school And they played for like the like Center Grove Football League or something

And those teams were NFL teams I'm like if I played in that league What are the chances I would get the Steelers Like literally zero Like you know I'm gonna be on like the weird Like the like Washington or something 10 or something.

Just like you never get the cool team. Hey, the Cardinals. Oh my God, bro. That is exactly right. The Cardinals. Just the worst team,

even in real life and like ugly. Not cool. The Cardinals are so on point. Meanwhile, hey, meanwhile, rich friends on the fucking Cowboys star on the helmet.

Oh. Hey, they got stars on their shoulders even. Yeah, the coach is a doctor. He just, like, donated the jerseys. Yeah, yeah, okay. When can I ever be on a cool team? I'm not even a coach, dude.

There's his dad. You're like, okay, yeah, of course. Oh, coincidence, he got that. Yeah, I had, dude, I was, so it was like, it was 02 and 03, back-to-back years, bro. Back-to-back years. This is peak. I got the Blue Jays.

and the devil rays. At that time, at that time, quite literally probably the two worst teams in the league. And this was the Blue Jays when they were like super red, white,

and blue. The big Blue Jay, the actual bird was very prominent in the uniform. That was just our hat and across our jersey. And then the devil rays, when they were the black

and that like forest green and the gray and they were horrible like before the devil rays and now the rays got cool and trendy and good so yeah right there

I'm like Blue Jays devil ray I can't get the Cubs oh you would never not in your whole life get the team you wanted I'm like I you know I'm like I hate them

but like the Cardinals like that had the fucking the birds on the bat the birds on the bat like that looks good it's a good team team like mm-hmm nope never chance no dude I think like I'm probably making this up but I feel like I feel like the Yankees and Red Sox weren't even like a part of it it was like

no they never saw them you never saw a Yankees teams maybe they didn't have like the licensing or something for little league where I was when I was like it's a good thought he was getting the Yankees never in my life that I see like a kid wearing a NY hat. No chance. Like actually playing on the field? No. Never saw it.

Red Sox either. They're just, yeah, that's wild. I wonder, was there a team like that in the NFL? It would be the Cowboys,

probably. But now I feel like Rich Kid would just go over that. Yeah. They'd get their own custom. That'd be like 10% difference. So like if they ever did find out, they couldn't.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They couldn't do anything about it because it was just, off enough that it's not technically copyright never saw Titans never saw Titans how tough would that be if you played for the

Titans oh what I would do to wear that helmet I think that logo was just too intricate nobody none of the local printers are just like we can't do that so true never saw Rams never saw Rams

this on a like a youth helmet yeah Couldn't tell me shit. Dude, even if you had it, like if you were a CYO team and you had a decal, boy, you better be good. CIO teams with decals were so cold to me. Oh, for sure. I remember when I'd get up and close and personal, like look really hard at their helmet.

I was like, wow, that's like an actual, somebody had to slap that shit on there. Yeah, it's kind of like sticking off a little bit. You know what I mean? Like, it's thick. Mm-hmm. Forget which teams had them. I remember St. Pius had them one year. I was like, oh, God, you guys could not get any cooler.

Didn't it just say, like, Pius and script or something on there? No, they, like, had the mascot. I can't remember what they were. Am I tripping? There weren't the Raiders. That was, like, every other team. That was Jude. And Carmel.

What the hell was saying? Oh, dude, they were the Panthers, I think, and they had, like, a... Oh, purple and gold. And they were throwing. I was like, this team is legit. How are we going to do? Their receivers were tall. I was like, we're so done, bro.

And the shotgun? You're just, okay. In the gun all day? Yeah, quarterback's seventh grader. I'm like, he's already like six one. You're like, okay, so he's going to be playing for good. Game Raid player of the year. Yeah, already.

That's like PTSD, man. Dude, the St. Pies gave me so much PTSD growing up. I'm like, What are we really supposed to do out here? Dude, even in, I don't know, this is not a local podcast at all, but when you didn't play basketball for your high school, so you went back and played for the grade school you went to, we played St. Pius,

and I promise this kid hit 33s on us. It was like. At that point, you just got to go Goon Squad. See why in high school. Throw his ass into the wall. He was too good, dog. We were doing it all. We kind of had a squad, but he was, we were screaming shooter at the top of our lungs.

Bro. Puts it up, puts it in. Bang! Bang! That's just going through your head. You're like, he had a flamethrower. We could not. We were doing it all.

Two guys on us. You know when people get hot? And it's like not a real game. So he was like just, he was clipping. And, you know, I saw him at, uh, saw him at brothers over Christmas. break. And I was like, dude,

that one game you had against us he had like all those threes gave me a cold shoulder. Cold shoulder so hard. I was like,

either he hates me or he doesn't remember that game, but I'll never forget this dude. Oh my God. Wow. Hey,

way to bring it all together. Way to button it up right there. We're going to end on that. Cold and on the Mel's best available cold shoulder with the cold shoulder

on Christmas break from the St. Pius' prick. Bro, we just could not even guard you. I think a dad on our sideline did something to his car after the game. Like, that's how good this do it. Hey, it was like that. Dude, don't talk about Chad Merrill's dad like that.

Just too much passion. Just too much passion. I think he threw his nachos at his car. I'm like, you got to be so good to have a dad on the other team throws nachos at your car after the game. He might have had 68 points. It was like unbelievable. Hey, hey, in a game that doesn't even matter It doesn't it's not

It doesn't matter at all But your girlfriend was there In your garden him the whole time So like who is that guy in the other team Why doesn't he play for like the real school? He was like he looked a little taller than you Was he like taller than you? No

No, he wasn't He was like weirdly hot Yeah, he was really hot Yeah, he was really really good. It's really good. Check Facebook the next night. Following.
