THESE GUYS! - NFL DRAFT PITTSBURGH, FICTIONAL DOGS + TACO BELL

Episode Date: April 28, 2026

"We probably drank like 79,000 beers, and when I came home smelling like it, I told my mom we had beer brats." The aftermath of a freezing late-night Taco Bell run from the weed kid's house is a rite of passage we all know too well. We map out a chaotic Pittsburgh draft weekend that started with securing a game-worn Joe Haden jersey and ended with paying a $150 cover charge to leave a Club Enclave and leaving 8 minutes later. The conversation shifts to drafting the best available fictional dogs of all time, from Snoopy to Powerline, before breaking down why schools like Marquette desperately need a Thursday night football team😭🤝 *JOIN THE CLUBHOUSE DISCORD*TG CLUBHOUSE https://discord.gg/7X63C4HF8y📬 *SUPPORT THE SHOW*Hit us up on the email line: [e-mail]🎧 *Listen to the full pod*https://open.spotify.com/show/0DCF4F4r78p0eXiD3fyh2Lhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/these-guys/id1649757408🍻 *Follow us on Instagram*These Guys! https://www.instagram.com/theseguyslolBenedict Polizzi https://www.instagram.com/benedictpolizziJoey Mulinaro https://www.instagram.com/joeymulinaro🧢 *50% OFF ALL MERCH with code BALD at checkout*https://www.benedictmerch.com00:00:49 - Haden Jersey00:04:00 - Draft Hangout00:07:18 - Coolest guy?00:08:48 - Tavon Austin00:12:09 - Club Enclave00:14:59 - Wingys00:16:56 - Draft Reacts00:17:54 - Bittsburgh00:19:29 - Late Flights00:21:14 - Packing00:23:47 - Rich Eisen00:25:30 - Lax guys00:28:45 - Discord00:31:48 - Snoopy Pick00:36:17 - Scooby Doo00:39:22 - Powerline00:41:12 - IndianaLand50000:43:10 - Doug from Up00:45:32 - Blues Clues00:47:41 - Air Bud00:52:29 - Taco Bell AFC?00:58:15 - No FB Schools01:04:33 - Kids Jerseys01:09:06 - Hockey Logos01:13:51 - Sibling Trade01:19:59 - More NFC AFC01:22:15 - Grounded

There you go, Austin. Dude, this turns, this, this whole podcast just turns into the Dan Docket show. Dude, in 30, in like 30, like, days of us doing this, I'm not even on the podcast anymore. It's just you doing Dan Dogged. Dude, it gets, it's better than Dan Dock is show right now. Like, it does better than. Not bad for a fat guy. What up, Clubhouse?

It's Benny Politsy and Joey Mullenero. On this week's TG, we talk about me and Joy at the NFL draft in Pittsburgh. We bring back Mel's best available fictional dogs. Do we talk about 2007 West Virginia? We would never. Do we talk about the impact Taco Bell is made on our lives? No way. Let's start the show.

Oh, God, this guy. To TG 183. TG 183. It's a Jeff Somarza episode. What? Hot hot! Not a football podcast. a football podcast.

Two guys wearing football jerseys. Joey's wearing an actual football jersey that's worn in game. Who we got on there? Wow. God, you need to throw us some... That's so crazy.

Do you steal that from him? Dude. No, I didn't steal from him. Scoop. He didn't steal from them for that, though. Yeah, for the YouTube folks, for the non- YouTube folks, I should say. Which you should be folks.

TG or these guys LOL on YouTube Subscribe watches every week Get the PTI run down to get the football jerseys Hot Hot! No, so me and Joe Hayden Joe Hayden is my boy. I love Joe Hayden. I'll never forget when he

got cut by the Browns and then got signed by the Steelers like in the same day. I think we might have been together. This is 2017. Big pickup, dude. Huge. This is 2017

and he got cut and I was like, Browns got Joe Hayden? And then there was rumblings immediately that was like, you know, I think even Shepter was just like, is feeling very disheartened, very, like a slap in the face from the Cleveland Browns, his hometown team, the team that drafted him, wanting to stick it to Cleveland by signing with Pittsburgh. And I was like, no way, no way we're getting Joe Hayden. Are you kidding me? Love them since he's out Florida.

I thought he was so cool. and then we signed Joe Hayden and he's with us for five years and throughout that whole time I loved them. I was so pumped that we got some time with Joe Hayden and then like as he's with the Steelers

my career starts taking me different places and then he, you know, starts following me, start messaging and everything. I'll see Joe Hayden comment on my shit every now and then I'm like,

oh my God, this is amazing. So I think I've talked about on this show before about how we've ran into each other and been together at multiple things. things now and like he's just the man and so literally a handful of months ago he was posting because he doesn't show with uh james harrison with uh debo debo and joe great stuff and he was posted about

how he's always recorded in his jerseys and he's got so many or whatever and i was like i messaged him i was just like yo man i've been one to hayden for a while could never tell if i wanted a 23 or 21 because he only wore 21 for the first year that he was with us dang i didn't know that because Mike Mitchell was 23, and so he wore 21. He came in in 2017, he wore 21. And he just responded back and he was just like, I got you. And I'm always just like, yeah, you know, it's kind of a ha-ha thing, right? So then when we're in Pittsburgh for the draft, I hit him up just because I was like,

wanting to see what he was doing. I figured he's probably going to be there, want to see if he wanted to hang. And he's like, yeah, he's like, I'm going to see you? And I was like, yeah, I mean, I'll be around. So then he, you know, we're going back and forth and everything on Thursday and Friday. And Friday, he's like, I got that jersey for you too, bro. And I was like, well, now we really got to hang because I'm not leaving here without that. Bro.

So Joe's announcing the picks on Friday night for the second and the third round for the Browns. And I'm just sitting there with my parents. I'm just like like a like a excited kid on Christmas Eve. I'm like, you know, just waiting for. for him, you know, where, where do I need to be? When do I need to be there? And so finally, he's just like, I'm at this place, you know, at this hotel, you know, come through. And I was like, all right, cool.

And so I go over there and we start, we start drinking. We start having fun. We start partying a little bit, having a good time, right? And then he goes and he changes and he comes back down. And he's got the white, crispy jersey in hand. and I was like, dude, this is, man, I can't, like, thank you. This is so cool, man. Thank you.

He's just like, I told you I got you. I got you. Like, all right. So he's like, go put that on. I'm like, I'm going to put that on. He's like, put that on. Like, I'm putting it on right now. So I go to the bathroom at this, at this Weston Hotel Bar in downtown Pittsburgh.

And I turn, and I put it on. And I walk out. He's just like. My dog. And I'm like, yeah. Dude, I got down in corner. I literally, I got down in a corner stance. I'm on my arms dangling corner stance.

I was ready to pop. I was ready to give a little jam off the line of scrimmage. So that's how it came to be. My friend Joe Hayden, he takes care of me. I would love to have him on this show. But yeah, man, it was unbelievable. And so I had to for the first time that I've gotten it before I frame it, because this is definitely going in a frame.

I had to rock it on these guys because I knew Clubhouse would appreciate it. I want to jersey. Joe Hayden, give me some game pants. I want to be the guy wearing Joe Hayden's game pants. It's insane how tight this thing is, dude. Like, the thing that this had to go over shoulder pads. Did he actually wear that in a game?

And like a back plate? Or that's just one he didn't wear. No, this is game worn. Like, against what team? We got the specs. He didn't, he didn't say. But it's a road game in 2017 because this is the only year that he wore 21

and they were white on the road. Can I get some Joe Hayden cleats? Dude. Always the coolest looking dude on the field. And you know what's crazy? I guess it's not that crazy. I think about it. The coolest looking guy

in the hotel bar. Every time. Fresh. It translates. You don't look that cool in the field and then not look cool in real life. Joe Hayden has to get a haircut every 17 hours or something. Like, how's it doing that?

Every time? I should have asked him, and maybe I will just out of curiosity. Maybe we'll wait for when he comes on the show. I just want to be like, bro, what is your like carry on? what does your check bag situation look like for when you go away for a weekend?

Because, like, for example, last summer when we were hanging out together at Cam Hayward's softball game, he had a whole fit that everything matched his fit for the game. Jordan's shoes included. Jordan athlete, right? Yeah, after the game, I was like,

I was like, hey, I was like, man, I'm going to see you at the after party. He's like, I'm going to go back to the hotel. I'm going to change. I'm going to get my shit. I'm going to go. I said, all right, cool. shows up a whole new fit different pair of Jordans that matched that fit that he had it's like she's then this weekend in Pittsburgh I got I show up to the hotel bar to meet him he's in his full suit that

he announced the picks in with a different pair of Jordans on changes his pair of Jordans all right and then he goes up to change his clothes again before we go out and he's got a whole new fit on with a different pair of Jordans that matches that fit that he's got Could never be me, man It's so insane What's a suitcase look like? How many shoes you bring? He's got to have three

I don't know But here's the kicker Here's the kicker for this whole story here So I'm sitting there with Joe on the hotel bar Me and my dad Joe Hayden Joe Hayden's best friend jazz We're standing there There's this dude who walks in

and they're, you know, they're shaking out with them. They're saying, hey. So I go, I go, hey, what's up, man? I'm Joey. He goes, hey, good to meet you, man. I'm Tavon. I go, are you Tavon Austin? He started laughing.

He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, oh, my God. I go, oh my God. He was like, he was probably just like shaking his head like, holy shit. I was like, dude, I got, this is unbelievable, man. cannot believe that I'm here with you right now. Tabon Austin? The guy that we all grew up on his highlight reel was like,

this is insane. He was laughing. Then after that, when I'm talking to Tavon Austin, then he rolls in, Mark Ingram. No way. Shut up.

Dude, you had to, in your head, you had to be like, I'm going to die because this is like, what happens before you die? You know what I mean? I would be thinking,

like that like damn i'm probably gonna get hit by like a truck or something when i walk out of here because this is like definitely like my like make a wish moment you know i got 48 hours to live i mean dude it was just the most insane thing i got this jersey on right i'm i'm walking around this jersey on and tavern austin he's like he's like he's like man do you think it's tight now he's like you think about it with its shoulder pads at the back plate he's walking me through like how they would rip the jersey down his back to be able to put it on and somebody would help him take it off. It really was. It's like a fever dream. Yeah, you're right. Like is this, is this Iowa? No. Or is this heaven? No, it's the Western Bar with Joe Hayden, Mark Ingraham,

and Dave on Austin. There's no way. What did you talk to Tavon Austin about besides his highlight tape? Do you play it with him? Bro, so like so not as not just as high. that real, but I had to bring up to him that I was at the Colts Rams game in 2013, where he scored like four touchdowns. Popped off. I said, dude, I was at that game. And he goes, he said, yeah, that 98-yarder. That's exactly what it was.

He picked up, the ball bounce for McAfee bomb, right? He picks it up with the two-yard line, spins around, takes it 98 yards to the house. 4,000 yards that game. All right. I wouldn't know what to do I probably wouldn't say a word that I'd go nonverbal I was hanging out at them I'd just be like wow I know I

I wish you would have been there man I I it was it was so insane and Joe's like Joe's like we going out tonight and I'm like we like I can come he goes we going out tonight and I go oh man I started getting Collinsworth I was like here we go

where'd you go I wonder what I was doing I was probably like buying gum from the hotel, like, little, like, food pantry. Dude. So it was insane. All right. So he tells us where to go and my dad is with me, right? And so we go and we go to this club slash event center. It's called Enclave.

And we get there and I meet Joe at the door. And the guys like, the bouncer guy's like. it's $150 a person. And I was like, oh, man, like, it's a big deal. And Joe's just like, I got you, I got you. And I was like, because he like, he had it. He got to go. He had his, he had jazz and Ingram with him.

And so I'm standing there by him. And I was like, I don't, you know, I shouldn't even be here. I got my dad with me. He definitely shouldn't. be here. But Joe was very accommodating. He's like, I got you. I got you. I was like, bro, come on. You know, let me, let me, let me, let me help you out here. Not that he needs any help, but I was like, I don't, I'm not expecting you to, you know, pay for me and my dad to come with you to this place that you just like said that we could come to. So I should have better spidey senses,

right? I should have better spiny senses. But we get in there, you know, he pays, whatever, all good. Thanks, bro, you know. We get in there, walk into the little performing. area sexy reds performing I'm like It is sexy Bob Bam bomb bomb Yeah I'm like what the hell's going on

Me and my dad left eight minutes later But uh yeah Are you guys the only two white guys there? No No No but uh it was it was just late and I was just like man The palest white guys there I feel

I feel all fucked up that that Joe just paid that. What are you wearing? What are you wearing? I'm so glad. I'm so glad I'm so glad I didn't wear this jersey because I was about to wear this jersey into there. It's been hard. I don't know if it would have been. I don't know if it would have been.

Yeah. I was like, nah. Yeah. So that was a shirt. What's up? Spilling drinks all over it, white away. Jersey? Yeah. It's just vodka crayon.

Just my bad. Too fucked off. Anyways, crazy clubhouse story for you guys there. That is how I got the jersey. I told my parents I was joking with them. I was like Joe, Joe Hayden's one of those guys

that he treats, the way he treats you, you feel, you're like, that's my best friend, but you know you're not his best friend, but he's best friend, like that's how Joe is. So my dear, my, my, my, my, my close personal friend, Joe Hayden, that's how it came to be. That was our night out. And yeah, in fitting fashion in Pittsburgh, me and Ben only saw each other by accident,

regardless of us staying in the same hotel. It was a good time, though. Bro, we went to, we went to the restaurant every single night after that. Pretty solid spot. Four nights in a row. It's just like such a different thing. Same exact order every single time. I figured.

Two sparkling waters. Uh-huh. Out of the gun. Uh-huh. Four orders of wings. Two Caesar salads, double chicken. Boom. They get you back on the double chicken after the first night.

Oh, yeah. They kept forgetting, though. I was like, what are you guys doing around here? Not eating? Yeah. Trying to skimp on the chicken. It's so funny when guys like, when guys go on a trip

compared to when girls go on a trip we just go to the same place five times in a row and get the same thing find a spot you like no reason to go anywhere else that's it's cool that's our spot same table same waitress boom yeah it's kind of in heaven there though

it was a nice like it was kind of low key upstairs you'd be tucked away a little bit solid food plenty of TVs always had a table open yeah because if you were on the North Shore. If you're going on the North Shore, there where all the draft stuff was, forget it. Hour. Every time you walk in the place, they just look at you. Probably 50 minutes at the earliest.

You're like, God, I could never. I was starving. They're just like, yeah, come right this way. Was that your first time picking? Yeah. She said that's absolutely insane. Yes. Everybody in the bar was quiet. He was just like the guy who's too into the game at the party. It was that kind of vibe. Let's go! He was that excited.

Okay. So it wasn't a bad freakout. Banging on walls? Yeah. Yes. Dude, it was so fun. I was high. I got so hype.

I was like, he's going to be the best quarterback of all time. He'd DM me after he's like, yo, were you at that bar? I was like, bro, I saw you going nuts. That was the best thing I've ever seen in my life. I saw you head nod me after. that. I was like, yeah, it was me.

Love that. Love getting excited about Picks. It's also fun getting really pissed off about Picks, you know? God Dang. Was that your first time to Pittsburgh? Uh-huh.

What'd you think? Pretty good, man. Like the bridges. Yeah. Underestimated the bridges. I didn't know there was like 12 of them that were all yellow. When I got there, I was like, Oh, yeah. The water's nice.

Yeah, river walk. Okay. Was it one of those where like, you know, when you see something on TV so many times and then you see it in person and it's kind of a wild realization slash juxtaposition. You know, because you see that view

of the three rivers and the bridges on Sunday night football and Monday night football. You've seen it so. often. And then when you see it in person, was it kind of, oh, wow, I feel like I should be listening to Chris Collinsworth of my head. It looked completely different in person. I was like, oh. Hmm. Yeah, it didn't look anything like it did from like the overhead while Al Michaels was talking. Oh, God. Mm-hmm.

Just so pure. Steelers, Ravens, Al Michaels talking. Overhead shot of Pittsburgh. Mm-hmm. Downtown Pittsburgh. The famous incline Homework due tomorrow Steelers take over at the 25 You're gonna miss fourth quarter Because I gotta go to bed School tomorrow

That or this fourth quarter Is either gonna make or break My entire week Dude how sad is it on Sunday God Sunday night After Sunday night football You just never been sadder Even if you're the team you want to win wins

You're still like It's over though you know It is tough because you have like a, you have a five minute like, yeah, oh, let's go. Come on. It's like right back to where, yeah.

Bro, you look at your phone, 1148, like, oh my God, it's late. Should I have this little piece of cookie cake though? You're like, dude, I got morning workouts in four and a half hours. What's the point you even go to sleep?

That's such a crazy feeling. When you're only going to get like three and a half hours of sleep, you're like, what am I even doing? You wake up, like every 20 minutes because you're scared you're going to miss your alarm. Holy shit.

Me this morning. Mel's worst available sleeps. Mel's best available worst sleeps after your team wins on Sunday night football. When you have a flight at 6 a.m. and you have to get the airport at 3 a.m. Holy shit. Dude, we got up this morning to come back here. 2.30 a.m. Uber got there at 3 a.m.

People still out from the night before. I was like, Oh, yeah. They're like, you guys are leaving now? We're like, yeah. Uber's are getting called. Everybody, oh my, there's so many people on the sidewalk. I didn't expect it at all. I was like, Jesus Christ.

You just literally can't sleep. When you have a flight that early, you can't. I used to do that. Because of the fear and anxiety of oversleeping. Done it. I used to not go to sleep I used to go to sleep for like one hour before flights because I was like how are people doing this

like how are like what you get you pack like two days before the trip it doesn't make any sense I'll never I'm never gonna be that guy oh I'll always pack 48 minutes before I have to leave you out of the airport because I'm like how do you know what you actually need that for in advance and like I wear the same thing every day

so like I need all these clothes I'm doing laundry like two hours before I have to leave but I reverse psychology yet and I'm like, the only way it's going to go quick is if I just know that I have to lock in for like 10 minutes and think about and look at nothing else but packing. The way I look around my whole entire apartment before I leave. So make sure I have everything. Yeah.

How many times you check the hotel before you left today? Kind of left a little too quick. Might have left something there, dude. Between the bed and the wall? I'm like, what was down there? Yeah. What was down there, yo? There's a pair of boxers that are never getting back.

There's like an SD card or a battery or something. See you. A court, a charger. Oh! The amount of times I've left a like badass charger somewhere and I'm like, God. Two SD cards, just under the bed. Never to return. No, and once you like lose something out of a hotel, you're not getting that back, man.

No. What happens to it? it's a black a black hotel goes it goes in the the cleaning lady fund basket

every time I lose anything at a hotel the cleaning lady it's like in my shoe I'm like oh yeah okay it's my fault dude I'm so quick

to blame the cleaning lady I'm like oh my God it's a cleaning lady oh never mind I'm holding it in my pocket oh shit oh shit shit, yeah. Well, yeah.

What you're gonna do? Oh, you know, okay. You don't blame the cleaning ladies. You know, okay, he doesn't know how to pack. Packs 10 minutes before he leaves. Okay. I think they got all the answers. They don't know. God, heard that so many times in my head this weekend with the draft.

Mel Kuiper out here talking. He don't know. What's he been in a locker room? He don't know. Uh, rich Eisen on my fly. flight didn't say a word to him didn't say word to him he was locked in yeah go get him rich

He's just like, hey, when I do that baseball shit. I think he kind of went on the same rant. You did about lacrosse. I think he was kind of like, he probably had two, two pouches of fucking wintergreen. And he looked at me and he was just like, Oh, it was going to be a diving catch? Oh, shit.

All right. Powerline. You way to fit that in because we were talking about cool shit and, you know, you impressing girls. And it made me think of the party. So go ahead. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But yeah.

Yeah, I'm taking Powerline second or third of Mel's best available fictional dogs. I mean, you can't, it's a sexy pick and it's a staple in my life. I got to go with it. Impressive. Okay, Mel's best available fictional dogs, my second pick, fourth. overall. Don't think you're going to have a reference to this. Maybe you'll surprise me.

But that was best available, fictional dogs. Doug from Up. Don't know. Tell me about him. He is the comedic relief. He's the comic relief. And the movie Up, the 2009 Disney Pixar Classic.

You know, the one of the balloons, the house with the balloons. Have you seen the movie or do you know about it? I know about it though. I've seen the cover. Yeah. So basically this old guy, this young buddy who by accident goes up in this house that he is going up in to try to get away from all this new commercial building and corporate building that's going on.

And he's going on an adventure because his wife passed. And so he's doing that. And so they go and they land in this place. I forget what it's called. But there's this dude who found a way to make collars to where dogs could talk. And Doug kind of becomes their dog that they take under their wing with him. And he's just the comic relief because he's kind of the dog that all the dogs don't want around because he's kind of dumb and kind of silly and kind of annoying. But he's just funny.

And he like doesn't really know how to speak. I mean, he knows how to speak English, but it's kind of broken, like, dog English. And so you're seeing, he's a golden retriever. So you're supposed to be, like, seeing the world through a golden retriever's eyes. You know, he'll be talking and, like, someone will go by and he'll be like, do. And then he'll go right back to the conversation. Like, shit like that. So it's good, like, comedic relief.

And he's just a big old golden retriever. Love to have him around. Again, dogs who can talk? Who doesn't want a dog that you can have to talk? You'd be able to have a conversation with, right? Man's best friend. I think it's Doug. Good pick, dude.

damn thanks a lot of dogs out there that movie's so fucking sad there's so many parts here like god so when Doug comes on does some stupid shit you're like ah thank God yeah I think God Doug's here

um all right last last pick for me Mills's best available fictional dogs a lot on the board here that I want to pick a lot of honorable mentions but I got to I got to pick uh I got to pick this guy he raised me he raised us blue from blue's glues wow i mean it's just i can't i can't not pick blue i mean he's right he's around every corner you know smart dog just a great bark too

you know it wasn't too loud yeah and like uh his like you know when he would like walk around it'd be like yeah i don't i came in good sounds in there yep He was holding it down My whole childhood Can't not pick blue Kind of taught us some shit a little bit You know, likable Yeah, yeah, yeah

That whole show is so like visually appealing Like the way, dude The way Steve would draw on that little Notepad was actually I was like he's such a He's so good with the crayon Bro got that notepad

That big ass crown for Frank I would die for that if I was a kid. He went through a little blues clues phase probably about like a year and a half ago or something. I think maybe for a Christmas a couple years ago we got it for him.

It was, yeah, it was nice. I didn't know Blue is still out here doing this. I even was like, I want to check that out. Because like you said, you're just looking at Steve. Steve nasty with that crayon on the notepad. I was like,

God, he nails it every time. Every time. Oh, yeah, they're still going, man. It's a new guy. His name's Josh. Is he cool? Yeah, he's cool.

I like him. He's like, you know, there's just so many different things that you don't want your kids to watch or like get into and whatnot. But like when you find a show, it's like, all right, Josh is cool. He's like talking to him normal. Doesn't seem like a weirdo. You know, they're kind of learning some shit. It's fun. You find those good balance as a parent, you know.

But wow. Talk about great value. Number five, you go with blue. close, great value overall. Number five should be a top overall pick. Number five, great value by Pulitzer. Really, really good. My last one here that I'll throw out to finish it off.

So we each have three. I mean, I feel like I'm getting great value here too. People are going to be like, wow, how did you not say this air button? Yeah. Almost should have gone one. I was kind of confused, like not confused, but I was like, Does it have to be like an animated, like fake? Or is it just a like a character based on because like AirBud,

that was a real ass dog. Yeah, true. But at the same time, like it's not, it's, it's in a movie. It's fictional. It's character. Ballin out. Airbud, some of those movies. Foof.

What's going on? Hey, you see a dog? All of a sudden you kind of toss a ball to his nose. You're like, maybe? Just seeing. Is my not your bud? Just checking. You don't?

So my dog have better hand-eye coordination than I do. We can be honest. So I'm here. Mom and dad, don't worry about the bills. We got the dog. We got air bud, yo.

Dude, and he was playing every damn sport. You could think of. Yeah, got a little bit to be a stretch for me once we got beyond, like, you know, the basketball.

Basketball, we're the top two. I remember he was playing a little soccer. I was like, okay. What's up? This guy's we started getting an Airbud doing that shit. I was like Airbud, hey, look, I love you.

I don't think your bicycle kicking, man. Wouldn't put him past them. What's next, Airbud? You playing pickle all these days? What's good? Put him in the pool because he's got a doggy paddle. God. Pause.

Stupid. Hey, on roll mention, though. A roll mention. A lot out here. Hey, Batman's dog in the cartoon? What a ride or die. Which cartoon would be talking about? Maybe it was Batman Beyond.

Talking about Robin? When Bruce Wayne was getting a little older and he couldn't really do it like that. You know, the Joker would kind of be beaten up on him. His dog, I think his name was Ace. Boy. He'd always be there, bro. Rider died dog.

Is that Batman Beyond or Teen Titan? He might have. He might have. He might have had a couple appearances, but he was definitely in Batman and Beyond because he was saving the day a couple times. I'd be like, what would they do without Batman's dog? Jesus Christ. Interesting. The MTV2 dog.

A little dog in the corner of the screen? I want like a hoodie with the MTV2 dog on there. Hey. Sick dog. You know who had that? Weed kid. I stole it from Weed Kid's house. we could totally

man he had the MTV2 with camo cargo shorts Osirish shoes brother was not missing wild boys famous hat with the F famous stars and stripes hat

had wild boys followed by jackass repeats was not missing them mm-hmm DC shorts when Noop Dog turns into the dog. Really solid. Yeah.

I really never read that. The album covers, few music videos. Yep. Bow, wow, wow, EBO,

EBA. The J.M.U. dog with the crown on, on the helmet? James Madison University dog. Oh, yeah, yep.

Sick dog. That's solid God. Wow. Yeah. I mean, I know we get into mascots. You know, we're missing out on.

The Georgia. Yeah, Uggam making that list I mean We can do whatever fictional dog you want But just dogs with crowns on I'm like It's good looking dog Hey I got one

The target dog Yeah I kind of I don't know if I like that dog Is it a Dalmatian or is it one of those one dogs With like the weird nose Ah it's not like a pug Yeah I'm like it's got the target logo

It's like a tattoo on it Yeah, I do like Target so much that I don't care what the dog is. Right. I just like it. Exactly. It's always on the bench in Target when you're checking out. Yeah. Take a picture by that dog.

Taking a picture with the kids in front of that thing, you know, a couple dozen times. The Taco Bell Chihuahua. Oh, gone but not forgotten. You know, Taco Bell. What Taco Bell always does it right, don't they? They just, everything they. do. Do the fucking dung

with the light on. When they had like the late hours or whatever that they went to and they flip the lights. They're so smart, man. Fourth meal. Everything Taco Bell does. I'm like, who thought of that, man?

God, they crush it. But when they would just flip the light and it would go from like a yellow Taco Bell logo to like a white one. Shit. One of a kind. Taco Bell. Who's running that?

They don't even seem like they belong in the same family as KFC and Pizza Hut, do they? Hell no. They're just miles above them. Taco Bell's on a different level when it comes to fast food. It's not even fast food, it seems like Taco Bell and Chick-fil-A, dude. And I'm like, NFC, A-C? What's up? Dude, is Ta-Tacobel NFC?

Taco Bell. NFC or A-FC? Talk about it's NFC It does kind of feel like that They've been doing it forever They've been holding it down That's just gut That's just gut for me

I thought about NFC First thought For me too is NFC Hey I think it's kind of Because They always serve Pepsi products And Pepsi to me is NFC It has a little dark side to it

They're like main color to me Is purple It's NFC. Open late. Yeah. Uh-huh. You really got to want it, baby. Dark, dark night time.

You don't get Taco Bell during the day. That's AFC shit. You get Taco Bell on January 23rd after you leave Weed Kids House that you're terrified of and it's freezing outside. And the car is shaking, rumbling from your buddies. What are those called? Subs. Subs.

shaking from the subs you can just see so much smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe in the car in front of you on the drive-thru because it's so cold it's 915 absolutely pitch black outside and you're like,

yeah, I'll take three soft tacos and a cheesy gordita. And you're like, yeah, that'll be 782. And you're like, okay.

Hey, can I have 19 packs of mild sauce and only use one of them? Like, why are you? Dude, everybody over did so much mild sauce and everybody's kitchen drawer for no reason. Never going to use it. Never going to use it. One more dog. One more dog.

Cat dog. But more for the cheese nips than the show. Cat dog show kind of gave me like a headache a little bit. Yeah. It was kind of like too chaotic. I was like, oh my God. Can they just figure it out? But the cat dog cheese nips, those are hitting different.

I agree. Like stuff in shapes, you know how it is with like Reese's cups, Reese's pumpkins. You know what I mean? Cheese nips, pretty good. Cat dog cheese nips? The last one that I was going to throw out there that initially came to my mind when you brought this one up, because this was this was Ben's week for the Mel's best available. initially I went to Brian Griffin from Family Guy.

Yeah. Because I'm just like, man, he's got staying power. He's been around for so long. Pretty dope dog. Has some parts to him that are redeemable, you know, which you're like, oh, yeah, like, I feel like I could go and have a drink with him. And he'd be funny and he's kind of dry.

But man, the more and more that you get to be around Brian as you're watching that show, the more you're just like, this guy sucks. Yeah. I always kind of like felt for him a little bit. I never watched Family Guy that much, but I'd always be like, man, I kind of feel. But is he like kind of like, like, he's just a douche, dude.

He's just like a, he's just like a very pompous, like self-righteous, annoying douche. Kind of feels like he's sad a lot. Yeah. He's just like a sad title. Always trying. Yeah, yeah, totally. Like, so at first I was like, oh, Brian Griffin.

But then the more and more I thought about it, I was like, so many times I, I watch family guy, I'm just like, I agree with Stewie, where Stewie gives him shit. And it's just like, oh yeah, Brian. Is that really how it goes, Brad? Like, because he's calling him out on it. I'm like, yeah, Brian, shut the fuck up, dude. You're annoying. I remember like a whole episode about him too.

And I was like, can we just move on from this dog? Yeah. So I, he definitely, yeah. He's like, dude, he's Diego Pavia. Like, he's, he's falling just completely off the board. So, UFO. Yeah. Take it, Brian.

Brian. Shove it up your ass, Brian. Doesn't matter how you beat the leprechaun, Bray. All the matters that you find a pot of gold. All right, that was good. I felt we got a lot more run out of that than I initially thought.

I was like, you coming with the dogs? I was like, you don't know what? You didn't even like dogs. What the hell? Cartoon dogs? A little different. Let's get some clubhouse. Team these guys,

Gmail. We'll get it fired up here. And we will start with Spencer. Spencer says cohort. Spencer, you go right ahead. Fellas, every year in the winter or spring, I see on the ESPN ticket, the name of a school that doesn't have a football team. But man, oh man, I wish they did.

Can you imagine a Thursday night, October non-conference football matchup between Quintipac and Marquette on ESPN? Yeah. What are some colleges that don't have football that you think would be badass if they did? I imagine Gonzaga to be like mid-2000s, Boise State, radio voice. No one wants to travel to Spokane to play the Zags in November. Curious to hear your thoughts. Smack my ass harder than Brian Cushing headbutting someone. Spencer sent from the Green Bay Packers' sideline phone at Table 7 and Binney's Beats a Barler.

God, that sounds good. I want pizza. now we're fucking talking now we're talking here man those are some I mean you really nailed them Quinnipack Gonzaga

hmm I'm just trying to think of those like good March madness teams Marquette dude Marquette's football team the golden eagles the way they could go with those uniforms and the helmets they would be so good

Marquette playing Cincinnati on a Thursday night and football. Dwayne Wade's there on the sideline. First game. Dwayne Wade's the coach somehow. Dwayne Wade and the Kelsey brothers are captains of Cincinnati. Jimmy Butler.

Always forget he played college basketball for some reason. Yeah. Good one. St. John's football team, Red Storm. Tough. Yeah. They're Philly.

East Coast, you know, they'd be just like tough and just it's just Ruggers. You know, I don't know. I don't know. I loved when Ruggers was good at football. I know. Why was that so fun? Kind of almost cried just now thinking about that. Wow.

Dude, those nights, Thursday nights, Ruggers. Tell him. Maybe it's on us. Maybe it's on us. But I'm just dying, waiting for somebody to make the documentary about the 2007 college football season. How has it not happened yet? You see the graphic every year. The craziness where it's like USF and West Virginia was like one and two.

Every single week there's a new number one. Yeah. You had Kansas in the top five. Missouri was number one at one point. Missouri, when Missouri's number one, I'm like, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Love college football chaos. Very real world possibility that should have been.

West Virginia against shit. Yeah, like West Virginia against Missouri or something in the BCS National Championship. God, I would love that.

I would love that. Just no household names. Of course, it worked out to where we got Ohio State LSU. I know. But. That's true.

There was like, and there were like an extra West Virginia was like an extra point away or something from being. Yeah, well, That's the famous 13-9. That's the one that McAfee, like, missed all those.

Are you for real? Do people know that? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Damn. Yeah. Steve Slate and Pat White, love you so much. Oh, yeah, God.

I know. So dangerous. What could have been? Yeah, I'm still waiting on that one, though, man. Still waiting on that dock. Everybody's dad loves it. Greg Shiano. What?

Jeez. You ain't kidding. I feel like Villanova goes in there in that range. Because I know they have a football team, but it's like FCS or something. It's not Bull subdivision series. That's true.

A lot of those weird schools, like Dayton has a team. I'm like, why? Yeah. I know you have the line of Brian Westbrook and Howie Long, who are Villanova. the alums.

But I think, yeah, dude, you give me, you give me, uh, you give me, uh, Villanova and Pitt on a cloudy overcast day in downtown Pittsburgh,

Pennsylvania. I were talking, maybe a little snow coming down. Villanova football? They'd be so solid, dude. Providence football. Oh.

Tough to crude up there, but. you know, get to step in. Colleges without football teams. Gonzaga, that's a great call. I would say,

I would say Sandy either. Yeah, schools like that, I'm just like, Gonzaga's just its own state. Mm-hmm. Is it in Washington? Is it on the West Coast?

We'll never know. Have to know because that's all they play is 1135. That's your tips. All right, it's got to Stephen. It says three Jersey stories from three sports. Hey, my name's Steve from, or Stefan, sorry, Steph. Whoops, not Steven, Stefan.

Steph from Lancaster, PA, love the show. Can we pause for station identification? Second time emailer and have binged every episode now. And I've only been listening to the last start of the year. Tj 179 with you guys talking about jerseys as kids, brought up some core memories and funny stories. 2004 first year of baseball we were the Arizona Diamondbacks teal purple and gold doesn't get much better than that except the following year in 05 we were actually the Yankees

too cool coming home from a game and popping 2K5 at baseball with Jeter on the cover of the PS2 rocking the same hat as him so yeah that's like what I said it's like the little leagues we played I grew up out I was just like I don't know I feel like with the Yankees and Red Sox are like ah those hats are just a little bit too more expensive so we're not going to have them in the league we'll just do the Blue Jays and the or Orioles and the rays. Fast forward to 2009. Yeah.

Fast forward 2009 first practice at flag football and coach tells us where the Steelers. Oh, my God. Yo, that's got to be the biggest news of your life when your coach tells you what team you are. Mind blown. I immediately raised my hands said, do we have jerseys or should I just wear my white Heinz Ward one? Coach cracks an awkward smile and says, don't do that.

We have jerseys. Last story takes us to 2014. These guys have a CYO. Catholic Youth Organization. Uh, yeah, Stefan, we know. My church friends and I had Glea, Greek, Greek Orthodox Youth Association. Thank you for telling me that one.

It was time to pick jerseys and I, the power forward took number 21. After practice, my dad says, Spurs coming off the championship, Tim Duncan. I said, nope, I want to play like David West from the Pacers. Whoa. I did it, obviously, and we don't have to talk about that. Thank you for the laughs on the pod and on your Instagram.

P.S. NestQuick, AFC, Hershey's chocolate syrup NFC. Go Steelers. That's a good one. That's so true, too. Hershey's so NFC. You can see it in the font. It's NFC.

Totally. Scary, kind of like slender, very business. Nesquick. Fun, bunny, hey, whoa. Powder, hey. Blue, yellow.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, the Hershey's, the syrup is even, And like it's, it's pause. It's like thicker and darker. Could never get it right, man. We never had chocolate milk in the gallon. We only, anytime we're having chocolate milk grown up,

it was regular milk and put Hershey syrup in it. It could never get like the consistency right with that. Like how much Hershey syrup, you know, you get it too Hersheyed. You're like, oh, it's too chocolatey. Yeah. But then you always, dude, I see, I can never find that balance too,

but I was always the opposite way because I never went enough and I was always like just like flat milk this is flat milk dude diet chocolate milk never got Nesquick though like we weren't in a Nesquick house at all

maybe on a road trip you know you cut loose a little bit in the gas station Dad can I get a Nesquick oh the first time you had strawberry Nesquick milk strawberry milk am I gonna get yelled at for

bringing this up there that's a little X-FL strawberry milk is insane it's so good god well stephen sounds like you had a lot more luck than we did with our teams growing up glad you got the diamond back to the teal purple and gold before before they went to the the Arizona desert red and black what a mistake

yeah the raptors too every time I see the raptors I'm like what did you guys do do. Well, look at what you did to yourself. Just red and black, nothing? And that's it? Okay, man. Just a little arrow is your thing. Okay.

It's taken away literally all the pop and personality. Look what they did themselves. Unbelievable. Unforgivable. Yeah, unforgivable. Let's go to William now. William says goals versus runners. Johnson and Schmidt, longtime multi-time, had to bring this elite minor league hockey rivalry logo matchup to the attention of the club hash. San Diego Goals versus Tucson Roadrunners. The combo of colorful but tough vibe from the goals paired with the local style mosaic motif of the runners is art. I think the expression is played out and overused.

But I can't help but need to say, hanging in the Louvre. sincerely William man that goal yeah I was like what the hell is a goal you pull this up this is this is William sitting on March 28th all caps goals versus runners

we get in there we get in there they the so it's the seagulls ah there we go San Diego I was like the fuck is a goal the gullet stick it in your

gollet So you go goals Oh, so it's a nice little play Little double entendre there to see goals And they're getting goals Because they play hockey Mm-hmm Great logo

That is damn good Geez Hey take the Take the wording out Just put that logo on a black hat Might get it Yep Fresh

It's this one though for me God dang It would be There's something Something with that Arizona what is it the what are they Wild or

coyotes The Minnesota Wild and Arizona coyotes Not a hockey podcast Barry Miller Russ Love you Yeah see I like what they

But again This is a difference between The wolves And This Arizona team The Tucson Roadrunners This is a difference

Between those two And the diamond Backs is those two keep Like a little bit of the purple the green They mix it all in there with that kind of Arizona Red that the Cardinals and all Diamondbacks have Diamondbacks I feel like they kind of Try to do some like highlight or shit

But it's mostly just black That red and a little bit of gold Yeah Right Yeah the more colors the better I don't know why we're Why are we simplifying Hanging in the Louv though God if I could go without

One more fucking aggregate social media account posting that again in my life. I can't look it's still happening. I would be the happiest man of all time. I didn't know what that was like, I couldn't read that for ever until you brought it up. I was like, what even, what are they saying? Hell no, you didn't. Elvore?

I was like, what am I missing? What movie is that from that I didn't see? I just like, scroll. Hell no, you didn't. No. Never would. Okay, let's go to our friend Jared. Jared's on the line waiting patiently, and he says,

Gerbach's back pocket dip can ring. Fellas. Been a minute since I emailed it. Long time, long time. Major apologies for the delay in emails. I'll go to confession to confess my, I'll go to confession to confess to my priest Holmes. Oh, God.

Come on. We, what is this podcast even about? It's literally like I'm listening to my little brother and his best. friends in the back of my car talking about bullshit. You're right. It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. Okay, anyway, Jordan Reese, NFC, joking, AFC? Man, yeah.

It's so funny when people, dude, everybody has one. Hometown names. Drop your hottest hometown name in the comments. Oh, shit. We need to go through hometown names like we did high schools.

Yeah. God. Anyway, slap my ass with Gerbach's jeans shorts at the dip can ring in the back pocket that Sophie made him stop wearing. But then God he found Brie. All anyone wants us for Gerbach to be happy. Peace, boys.

Until next time, you and me talking about a whole... Let me start over here. Peace boys. Until next time, you, me talking about a whole lot of nothing when we come back. We'll talk top five Thanksgiving sides. On the fan. Top five sides.

Appreciate you, Jared. Appreciate you. Appreciate that. How about Josh? We go to Josh now who says Oklahoma drills. Just want to let you all know that Oklahoma drills were alive and well, at least until I was in middle school, not a middle school pod, circa 2015.

I finally remember doing bowl in the ring and thought that was just something that our coach who was a former D3 player made up while on his way to a school as a sub. I also remember, not a reminiscing pot, how electric the boys would get when the small, guy on the team would take down the big linebacker that everyone thought was the second coming of Troy Palomalo. Did you ever make lopsided trades with their siblings? I'm the youngest of three boys and it always felt like my brothers were cooking up trades with

me like they were seasoned GMs and I was always behind the April. That would always, they would always do things like if you do my chores, I'll let you play call of duty with me, but their chores were to mow, clean dad's car and vacuum the entire house. Looking back at it, felt like I was the Vikings trading for Herschel Walker. Are you cooking up trades or were we all the Vikings or Cowboys? Slav my ass with a Mad Cat's controller with a Patriots logo on it. That the circle button was jammed so I couldn't spin in Madden. Sent from AOL using dial-up internet while trying to download in the end off of Lime wire.

It doesn't even matter. One thing and I don't know why. Man, middle school in 2015? Jesus Johnson here was Johnson had been in the corporate world for three years at that point. Guy already had a 401K. Working on his portfolio. Well, that's good to know that Oklahoma drill is still going. I think it is low-key, underground.

Yeah, they just try to sneak it in. How you learn how to hit? Well, what did you do with your sisters, Ben? interested. This is very, we got, we got, we got a wild differentiator here, a few different angles because you had, you were the youngest with two older sisters. I'm the oldest with two younger sisters. I can only remember like, uh, making up games and playing it with my sisters and then like, they're, they'd be on offense of the game. And it was once there was their term to be on defense, they'd quit. And I'd be like, God damn. Like,

You know what I'm talking about? Like you'd make up a game in the backyard and they'd like do the fun part. And then it was time for me to do the fun part. And then they'd quit. And I'd be like, guess I'll just play football with myself back here while you guys are inside. You should text my sister about this because you can relate. She needs somebody.

She needs to have somebody to vent to his shoulder to cry on to get through her childhood trauma of me. Playing one-on-one baseball with her. But I always made her bat in the bottom half. and I would just I would just absolutely hit tanks and make her run to go get the ball while I just ran the bases

and hit home runs and then finally I'd like give in and let her, you know, and then I would be like, I'm done. Fuck this game. Every time.

Soccer in the backyard. I'm always goalie. Time for Anne Marie to be goalie. Quit. Okay. I don't want to play anymore. God damn. I know you don't.

I didn't want to play this whole time. You got it You gotta play both sides That's good Or like I'd play my little sister In a video game I'd be like You know USC and NCAA

And make her be like Hawaii Like yeah you can play with me But So mean It's so unfair to think about now I'm like you damn You're just beating the hell at her with them Like she had to be like

This is so not fun Yeah I think that's a perk of being the older The older sibling for a while there The younger one wants to be around But it's all good on the other side Because went to the Indianapolis Indians game With her and her family today So we made good

We made good Yeah not too much on the chores like that I didn't grow up Did you grow up much of a chore household Yeah man All the time I feel like the only way I could watch TV was if I like mowed the grass

between every commercial break Yeah, like we were always doing something For me it was dusting the like railing on the stairs God Never forget Tough In between every little And you couldn't spray

You couldn't spray like the You know the what is it called I forget what the dust stuff is called the spray. It smells like lemon. Lysol? No. Well, yeah, maybe it is. But, like, you'd have to spray it on the, on the, on the, on the, on the rag and then, like, dust the wood. You couldn't spray it right on the wood or ruin the wood. Yeah. That was always kind of bummer, you know, I wanted to, like, tag our whole entire, like,

banister on our stairs, but we had to go. If you, if you, like, spray that stuff on a wood, on a floor, bro, people are, it's like ice. Yeah. I'd always be doing that. and that's a tough one cleaning behind the toilet yeah behind the toilet and doing the the bathroom trash cans the bathroom trash bags so much hair that's tough yeah so we weren't really doing it with chores Josh but definitely Ben was Ben was the Vikings and my sister was the Vikings and the outdoor games just getting a little bit of the short end of the stick Let's that one pair Let's wrap up here with Will Will wants to talk about Gerbach NFC Gerbach NFC

Weed Kid AFC Oh From Will First time long time Love the show Love the NFC AFC segments And it got me thinking of a few

Ketchup NFC Mustard AFC They're both so AFC It feels like See I have was flipped. Mustard NFC? Yeah.

I think so too. So to me it's going on like a brat at Lambo or Chicago. Catchups way more fun, you know, because yeah, fries, all that kind of stuff. Mustard's just got one job. Not really celebrated too much. It's doing that job well. Dogs, NFC, cats, AFC. I don't know about that either.

Yeah. I think it's flits, man C, man. Cats are might be the most NFC thing I can think of right there.

Cats? Mm-hmm. Never know. Unpredictable. See, this is that weird like blue dress, black dress thing though. Like some people's brains

are just wired differently. And so you see him, you see him differently. But that's the beauty of AFC NFC. He finishes here with mom, NFC, dad, AFC. I think flip them.

I could It just depends what kind of family Your family Your family is like that yeah Yeah I get down at that Mom's no nonsense She's Mike Singletary

She's letting you know Like it's gonna be a long day If you don't get your shit right Like she's on top of it Dad's kind of like Hey we might you know We got a little running gun going on here We're gonna air it out

You know I got my go to Colvers later Yeah Yeah So again to each their own in some ways but I got to say cats are definitely NFC dogs or AFC

but I appreciate the phone call he goes on to say he says you XFL the guy your girl told you not to worry about Pro Bowl yep I can definitely agree with definitely agree with that one some ways

way more too way too on the nose than you would think but we'll save that for another time it's a different show. I was wondering if you guys had any good stories about getting caught drinking or smoking back in the day. I'll never forget my mom catching me with beat red eyes one night and then giving me a speech on how I'm throwing my whole life away as a junior in high school. Sent from the phone under the goal post pad that Joe Horn made a fake phone call in and a 2003 game against a Giants. Get a bo, get a bo, get a bo, good about.

Thanks guys. Picture of Dave near a freestyle BMX in the Discord right now. Just letting you know. Sick, cover. Perfect. Yeah, who hasn't? I mean, that's just like a coming of age, right of passage to get caught doing something like that or being around something like that. And having that talk or having your folks get on you.

They're like dipped in beer, I guess I don't know That's why I smell like this though That's why I smell like a thousand cores lights Yeah, I mean Yeah, was that pre-meditated? Like did you have that in your back pocket Ready to go or did you just pull it out?

I think there I think I saw beer brats that day at the store And I was like, we can do something with that. Yeah, lock it in. baby. I know I'm going to Mike Nichols house later. I'm going to make sure. I know.
