THESE GUYS! - NICKNAMES, FALL CREWNECKS + VOLLEYBALL GIRLS

Episode Date: May 12, 2026

Going to a Thursday night high school volleyball game with a painted face just to impress a girl who is definitely hanging out with Center Grove kids at Taco Bell is a tragic rite of passage. We break down the pure panic of having a girl walk into your childhood bedroom and having to explain why you have a severed Spirit Halloween leg and an Iron Man helmet on your shelf. The conversation shifts to debating if Chevy and Ford belong in the AFC or NFC, ranking the hardest 90s retro Super Bowl logos, and figuring out the exact difference between first day of school air and last day of school air. Plus, we talk about forced nicknames and the sad reality of girls who make ranch dressing their entire personality.🤝 *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.com00:01:26 - IndianaLand00:05:23 - Cool Hats00:09:35 - Batman00:12:26 - Nerdy Rooms00:14:52 - Girls Rooms00:18:01 - Deep Clean00:23:08 - Nicknames00:25:09 - Yearbooks00:31:04 - Text vs Talk00:33:49 - The Hangout00:37:26 - Forced Names00:42:40 -00:48:38 - Joy Origin00:51:29 - Retro Logos00:54:34 - Orange Bowl00:58:02 - NFC Cars01:00:39 - NFL Numbers01:05:20 - Pickles01:10:27 - Animal Phase01:13:08 - HS Games01:17:20 - Breakups01:20:42 - Best Months01:24:36 - Fall Fits01:27:20 - School Air01:30:52 - Baby Names01:37:48 - Daily Cellys01:46:41 - Final Plugs

It's just getting together, having a grand old time, having drinks, listening to music, DJC Buck, throwing it down. Ben already gave him an idea off air for a little transition. I think we should, I think we should display it. I think we should. We're going to have a little bit of, have a little bit of love me, love me, say that you love me. I don't care about you, you, you. A little bit of that going on, all right?

I would love to. But it's just not going to be on the station. Not going to be mics in the hands doing a show even though sports or our life. Let's just say

stations I know about this. One question. God damn. Oh, okay. I thought you had one question for me. Nah, no. I was ready to go. Well, I got a lot of those. Hey, we'll talk off air. Oh, God, right. Right. Right.

It was out of the track this weekend. Heard, heard the man himself. Heard the rat, rat, rat over the PA. It's a great time. Got my new IMS hat. My new, my new one so far, I'll probably buy four more by the end of the month. But this is a new, this is a new joint. I had to bring an air for your station. Is this a podcast where they just talk about how? they have.

God, dang. And on this week's segment of had it, can you imagine? Can you imagine

a girl walks into your room and goes, can you show me all your hats? Wouldn't that? An actual dream.

Okay. So, so this one, just dude. No, dude, I'm pretty sure the first time

that, I'm pretty sure the first time that, Oh, I'm this one. Did I turn into a six-year-old? I'm pretty sure the first time that old, uh,

the old Mrs. Schmidty, uh, went to my room. Mrs. Schmidt went to my room, uh, when I was actually still living in my parents' house.

Hey, who I'm talking about. I had a, uh, I had a clone trooper helmet, uh, up on my, uh,

off on my dresser. And that's a big, we. That was a real. real big, but she held it in, you know, because it was the first time that we were, that we were like hanging out like that. So it wasn't to that level.

But then confirmed later on, that's exactly what was going through her head. But, you know what? Hold on. Sometimes it's best to just, let's just get those interests out there, you know? Throw it out there.

They can't handle it. Then you don't want to be, you don't want any part of that anyways. It all comes down to the one saying that, that we birthed on this pod. Guys just like cool stuff. Guys just like cool stuff. Wait, how come what?

Guys just like cool stuff. And every guy is the same. Every guy has had that by his bed. Stormtrooper helmet. But also everybody, yes, guys just like cool stuff. But also every guy has their thing that maybe they don't broadcast publicly. or maybe they don't like put on for their homies,

but it's their thing that they really are into. Mm-hmm. You can go a bunch of different ways that I know Clubhouse is like, whoa, what are you talking about? What's it going to be? I'm just simply saying, like mine, well, Star Wars. Had a Clone Wars helmet, had a Clone Trooper helmet in there.

You know, probably had a Star Wars poster in the room. As a 24-year-old, 23-year-old. Seems perfectly normal to me. 23? Guys have those things. Like guys have Like they'd be Iron Man To be Avengers right

Maybe guys really into Harry Potter Maybe guys really into anime Every guy Every guy's the same Every guy's the same So they got cool shit But there's always that one thing It's like all right

What is it? What's the what's the bag of nail And hair clippings? What is it? If a girl walked in this room Boy boy oh boy Would I have some explaining to do Why is there literally a leg on your wall?

I went to Spirit Halloween one time and I just couldn't stop laughing at it. Is that, is that okay? Yours is, yours is Spirit Halloween. Speaking of spirits. You can use one right now. Not a Halloween podcast, not a holiday podcast. Never has been.

Never will be. Hey, comments. What's your thing? Hey, boys, what's your thing? Bub, ba, ba, blah, clubhouse. What's your thing? thing. That thing that you were really into when you were like 11, but you didn't want it to be

known at school. You didn't want your friends to see that you had a Star Wars pillowcase. Sticky situation here. Had my best friend over. Sixth grade maybe? Chiller. Coming through. That's a tough.

God, it's a tough one, man. It's my birthday, but he's like my best friend forever, dude. So it's like, who cares? I'm just going to, like, open my presence. You know, like nonchalantly. First thing I open, Batman Beyond Batwing. Oh, yeah. I'm like, damn, on 12.

Uh-huh. On 12, and this is really the only thing I asked for. I looked at him, I was like, I didn't tell you about this. You learn something new about me now. We may not be best friends after this. Yeah, but. Dude, the girls in the show are so hot, though, you know?

Like, had to say something like that. Nicole Kidman? What's up? Poison Ivy. Legit. Cat woman. Batmobile. Hey, but then, you know what?

That's, this is when this is when you reach that new level of friendship is when you're like, then your buddy it's like dude I asked for the same thing oh my oh nobody was doing that bro I'm still pretending on Batman around the apartment

still man but you know what I'm saying though right because I like I had that multiple times with Star Wars then all of a sudden you know

Jordan Reaser would get his hands on battlefront too wait a sec Oh, I did have that moment at Best Buy one time. Or no, no. New level of friendship unlocked. Yeah.

I think I'm going to start talking with the boys about Boba Fett and General Grievous. It's when you know. Or like if there's a part of the movie that you don't understand, you're like, yo, that one part, like, what, what happened there? And then he, like, explains it to you in your terms. That happened to me a lot, dude. like Avengers. You find a homie that like, I'm like,

so how come they, how come they couldn't do it then? And then he like explained it. And I was like, I get it now. Is he cow heard it for you? You get a little analogy. Drops it on you that way.

I just didn't feel comfortable asking people like all these deep, dark questions I had about something. Like, they're going to think, like, you know what I mean? It's just not, there's never a time or place.

But when you get your, your homie, just let it rip. Yep. Yeah. That's a big one. Yeah. So ladies,

burpy girls, you're walking into a new, you're walking into a room, just have an open mind, you know? Definitely, hey, there's some,

there's some things that are, that are super red flags, then you run for the hills. But, you know, you got, you got an Iron Man mask or helmet. He's got it like,

he's got built-ins or something in his room. And then like on different, levels and in one level he's got the Ironman helmet and then another level he's got the Thor hammer you're like all right so he's he's really into he's into superheroes all right cool so he likes to be 11 years old sometimes cool I get down at this all the time on one level of the thing he's got action figures of Heisman winners Elvis Gerbach you know just Mm-hmm. You know, and then on one level, he's got, you know,

replica Jim McMahon helmet with a visor on. Yeah. He'll know, and he sleeps with it on. Then you might, it's going to be a tough conversation to have. But you get used to it. He get used to it. You like head butted me last night and said, fourth down, we're going for it and spit all over my face.

What was that? Hey, remember that one time? your coach was like, get used to your equipment, sleep in your helmet tonight. Literally slept in my fourth grade helmet, football helmet, with my mouthpiece in. So that was early on because I was like, I mostly played like later on in high school. Don't remember that. Oh, dude, yeah. Slept with my helmet on is great.

Football in my arm. Your football. Were you football in the arm in the hallway guy? after I've humbled 19 times against Franklin Central maybe Hey single-handedly lost us the game So I guess I'll be doing this for the rest of my life Sorry I'm embarrassed, sorry Wait, why are you like carrying a football

Mr. Football Head Oh we get it Yeah you like okay you do football You're in just go sports yay God sports ball Hey going back to the room thing though Imagine going into a girl's room and just being like, what the fuck is that?

Like, who would ever do that? Oh, my God, yeah. No, that's, I mean, that's just... Sacred ground. I'm like, I got no complaints. Cool, looks good to me. So can we make it out or what? Yeah, dude, no way, man.

Because that's like, yeah, and you're right, that's like the fortress of solitude. You're just like, what? Yeah, I'm just happy to be here, really. No complaints, everything checks out looking good. Yep, uh-huh. Smells good. TV's on.

There's been a movie playing for two hours, I guess. Girls just, you go into a girls room, there's just a movie playing. You're like, this is all you do. You just live in a fantasy world with a movie with a rom-com on? You have gum in? There's R&B playing quietly. It's like TRL. You feel like VH1 top videos.

You remember the VH-1 shit where you just have... VH-1. Slept on. Hey, hey, VH1 So NFC, dude MTV, AFC VH1 NFC

Wait, what I say? Did I say ATV in there? A TV? Yeah, sure. Throw an ATVs in there. ATVs, yeah, ATVs are very NFC, by the way, dirt bikes, AFC. What are they talking about for real?

Oh, shit. No, you can't. You can't. That's just that that sums up right there. Just the difference in human psychology. Guys and girls? Oh, guys. What's going through girls' mind and the questions they have going into a guy's room

as opposed to just absolutely nothing going through a guy's head if they were in a girl's room. It's so funny. A girl could have nothing in a room but a bed and I'd be like, looks good. I'd like figure out reasons to like it. I'd be like simple, plain, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I'd go home and change my room to that because I'm like, I love you. There's too much going on when there's too much going on, you know, in a room that you hit with the, I like the ambiance.

Yeah, it's like everything's everywhere. That's exactly how my brain is. Throw out ambiance. Nice word. We, we, we, we. He knows what? Ambiances? Wee.

Wee, wee, we, we. What kind of bread do you want? Wee, we, we. I think I did a, I think I'm currently in the middle of doing a hunty thing that I don't think. It's a hunty thing, but it's not hunting motivated. Everybody's got a little hunting in them. Let me explain. So you've been down in the.

and to Joe's basement, you know, when we do our live shows, where we're not at Coach Pease in the living room, we're down here in my basement whenever we get together in person. And, yeah, I'd be honest. The basement, it just become like a storage center, you know? Like I had my little area where I could come down here and do shit. But, like, mostly it was just like, throw in the basement, get it out of the way, put the holiday shit down there, you know, got the cat's litter box and all that.

And so finally, just something last week. week, I don't know if I was just like feeling depressed or what. But something just sparked him and I'm like, I'm tired of the basement being this way. I'm tired of it. I'm going down. I'm fixing up the basement. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah.

Deep clean. Yeah. Hey, what are you listening to during that? Because that's a whole thing. Right? You crank something crazy on. You get some stuff. done down there.

Here's what I was doing on Saturday. Ella Langley. Excuse me. Is that her? Yeah. That was just, I don't even know why, like,

just stumbled upon it. It was going. But, yeah, I was like, I'm tired of it. I'm sick of that area. That should be a cool area.

That has all the potential to be a cool area. I'm going to make it a cool area. I'm going to clean. I'm going to deep clean. I'm going to clean it up. I'm going to take some pride. I'm going to self-invest.

And we're still work in progress here. But like ordered a bunch of frames to put. Yeah, because I'd have like five or six or seven different things I bought or that people have sent me or whatever. That like, I'm like, that needs to be framed. I just would always just, I just down in the basement. Went down. Fucking ordered that shit. Rearranging.

Where do I want to put? Oh, I want to have a Cubs wall. I want to have a movie wall. I want to have an eye. IMS wall. All that shit right there behind me. Right? Right.

Right. Yeah. Yeah. So I was like, I don't know. It might be considered. You know, people might just, you know, anything rearranging, organizing, you're just like, Hunty? Until you get into it.

I don't think that's haunty, bro. Because you're doing that for you, really. It's just the pay lady. I was like, it's just, I don't know. It's just therapeutic. I'm excited about it. Once you get into it. Oh, yeah.

Like the thought of it's like, oh, God, I don't want to do that. But once you just start like going in beast mode down there, throwing stuff away, once I start throwing stuff away, I'll throw anything away, dog. Throw my whole car away. Don't need it. No, it's in the way. I don't need it. It really does feel good.

Just cleaning boxes out. Hey, box cutter. Getting those cardboard boxes out. the corners the corners of the floor yeah pretty much just like throw on the rocky soundtrack it was just that was my montage scene yep shirt off going crazy swiffer there's no easy way out there's no short cut home yeah so anyways uh that's what i've been doing and then excited for some recordings in person down here in the basement because I think you'll, by the time we do it again,

it'll be even better set up, have a nice, you know, clean basement. It feels like, oh, man, this might be, I might be creeping on a studio. Yeah, there you go. Jason about that. Jason Fox got on. Fox got.

Hey, he's. Dozing off. He's outside the recording studio. We're trying to, like, get in, but he's outside of it, yeah. We're being real quiet, like, trying to open up the door. Oh, like, trying to sneak past him like he's a security. Just sneak past him, like, he's a security of the studio. You got to get, like, the keys off of his belly.

He's like, no, I'm out of it. I said, I'm trying to thank you. I cut him I kind of promos I got it thank you.

Thank you. Oh shit. All right. Let's get to Clubhouse. Team these guys at gmail. com.

Nicknames, the good, the bad, and the embarrassing. What's up? These guys, long time, third time. Did either of you have a few nicknames that you hated and then some that you love growing up? There was a jerk in third grade that called me, quote, Skinner Deffy, because I had a buzz cut. And then since I was a little heavier back then, my dad would call me chugger. Both nicknames were not ideal But the second helps me get motivated

To work out like a certified Gerbach And then I got the nickname G-Spice and G-Unit Not a reminiscent pod But share yours The good, the bad, and definitely the embarrassing That's slap my ass With one of my old yearbooks Where some of my crushes would write

That they wanted to hang out over the summer G-Spice Set from the future phone that's designed by a girl named Becky Called the NextTill Wee Next Tell Wee Next Tell Wee Next tell we. What an email, dude.

We could get down with that. Every time you get a text, we. The stop. It kind of flows there. The next tail, we. Bro, when you're crossing the street and you have to push the arrow on the wall, I'm not telling them. We, we, we, we, we, we.

Just run out of the middle of the street. It doesn't even work. It doesn't, no, the thing doesn't even work. You look behind you. It's just your girlfriend. we, we she's been saying it.

Oh shit, I thought I was pressing the button. That was just you the whole time, my bad. Yeah, we, we up. Oh, shit. Yeah, people writing stuff in your yearbook. Never bought a yearbook. But, um, wait, is that

the most used shit ever. Oh yeah, dude. Not once in my entire life. How, man. That's such a, core memory of growing up. Getting the yearbook, having it on sleepovers.

We could just go back. You and your buddies when you're like 10. You don't know what the fuck else to do. You've tapped out of everything else. Open up the yearbook and you're like, oh, yeah, look at fucking Alec. Goes to Perry now. Wow.

Yeah. Never got one ever, bro. And honestly, this isn't going to surprise anyone. Didn't know how to get one. I was like, I don't know. Like, when the hell were we turning that in? And like I'd ever, hey, mom, could I have money for a yearbook, bro? Yeah, right.

How much was that $40? That's crazy. My mom would have spit on my face. It was just like a necessary means. To me, I was just like, yeah, like, you know, we talked about a couple weeks ago. I was like, yeah, high school. Like, you play football and you have a girlfriend. Yeah.

Like, yeah, when you're growing up and you're going to school, like you have shitty school lunches that all the girls hate, but you eat because you're starving. You have a yearbook every year that you get to, you know, look back on in 12, 15 years. Oh, yeah, I remember Mrs. Pardon. She was a great A broad, you know? Like, that's just like, it's just like part of the experience.

I don't know. That's always the way I thought about it. Yeah. Dang, I think people. wrote in my Bible. Like, I think that's what people were writing in for me. First page of the Bible. Gay!

All caps. Ha ha ha. Literally. Now, let's open up to Gay! Chapters 7 versus... We got a new user in the Discord, by the way. Join the Clubhouse. Discord Clubhouse.

Best group chat ever. New user just handled... Didn't go to Ron Colley. I never do this, but I tell all my friends about the Discord. Like, I never tell my friends anything, but I'm like, yo, you should join this shit, though. Like bangs, for real. Might be some of them in there. Who knows?

Didn't go to Ron Collie, bro? That dude definitely did. Oh, man. Oh, my God. It's so everything is funny. Just somebody's name is. Samarja. What was really him?

Best day ever. We'd never know. Yeah, but even so, like, I all, I know. I just thought. I'm like, oh boy.

All right. Even with the yearbooks, I had them every year. I got them every year. But I think by our time, that was kind of a lost art. We weren't signing yearbooks too much. Yeah.

That's way more like, I think we were just on the outside of the yearbook signing. I think it was all a handful of years and then obviously, you know, our aunts and uncles, my parents. And they're not just writing, they're not just writing like their name. They're not just autographing it.

We're talking like the most, mom script cursive and blue ink on my dad's high school yearbook they're writing paragraphs dude

inside jokes and shit I've like read through sometimes when my dad would go but go back through and pull them out and I'm like what happened there

probably don't want to know dad do you still have a crush on her because how don't you like putting a heart over the eyes and shit you're like oh god

Holy You're like, wait, what's her number? You're thinking about handing her up? Yeah, when girls put their numbers and stuff like that, that's insane, bro. Your dad was a man. Your dad was a man. All those, all those, all those, in all those like late 80s, early 90s girls, they're all just like Jennifer. Every one of them.

Jennifer. Jennifer. Melissa. Jessica. Not even, dude. I think Nicole. I don't know about that. bro. 30

girls from that era, 29's names are Jennifer. I swear, dude. All the same hair. Same huge hair. Same font, same cursive like script-ass font that you see, because it registers with you

because you're like, oh shit, that kind of looks like my mom's handwriting. But they were writing like that back then. Damn. But we didn't really do that. I don't know. I don't know if we were just all just too bitch to like go ask her. Absolutely. I think the girls were nicer back then. Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure. If I had a yearbook and people were, no girl would even look at me to sign the yearbook.

It'd be all my, my guy friends writing funny stuff in there. Not one girl would be like, hey, call me. Yeah, right, bro. Right. But yeah, then I think even too, like our generation, like we just had the internet, the pre age of the internet. So we just like go on there and do our shit there. But then we also, I think there was like a weird thing too where like we didn't want to like because obviously kids are going to get left out of like signing their yearbook. You know what I mean? Yeah.

So it's like, I'll just skip this whole thing and we'll just talk about it on AIM later. Dude, girls are so much better at talking like in text than in real life. Are you talking Like writing text or text text or both Like text text text Like you talk to a girl over text It's like damn Then you talk to her in real life

And you're like oh wait is this even the Did you have like writers? Do you have a whole writing room? I'm like yo in the chat You were hit me with the heat I was kind of I was trying to play catch up In real life I'm like Hello

Where's the bangers babe Oh that's a scary realization right there. I think girls are so much better at talking through text. Just because it's like perfect for a girl. Like you can't beat her on the bush in text. You're just like bang, bang, bang, bang, I need an answer. Boom.

Like in real life, dude, I'm always just everywhere talking about whatever and you can kind of get away with more. That's where I think guys excel because we can just like be idiots in real time. In nervous talk? No, not really, but I'm just like. Got to fill a silence. it's nothing bad I don't think

but it's just easier for dudes to talk in real life but over but when you gotta hit them with the facts over text that's where I'm like ah shit

like I can't really joke around here see I think that I think you you you police it you overthink it and so you get all caught up when you're because at that time

you can backspace and so you think of all these million different options and everything you can do whereas in real life you're just like

ah well and you got to just keep going. Yeah, probably. Dude, that's a tough realization, though, when, like, you walk into something that you didn't, you had totally different expectations for. Yeah. Expectations.

Expectation. I mean, I think girls do have, like, right, like a group chat where they send your conversation. They're like, what do I say next? I guarantee it because I'm like, yo, this is like, this is top tier, like conversation here. Like there's no way you're just coming up with all this. There ain't no way.

This is just another modern and Seinfeld sketch. Kind of. Girls have writers, four writers. So you love the text that you hate the conversation. Yeah. Dude, you ever have a... Can't wait for this. You ever have a home, like a buddy?

that you're like, man, I don't know what I'm about to walk into here. Oh, in real life? Yeah, where it's like either something, like, you can be walking in where it's just going to be everything's hitting, bang, bang, we're biving, we're great. It's you too. You're wanting it. And it's the jokes are coming. They're laughing.

They're feeling it. Conversation's great. You don't run into any blocking points. You don't run into any, like, what are we going to talk about next? But then some days you have some where you're like, oh, man. man, do we need a third party here? Dang, not now. Not these days.

No, it's not really now because now we got to the point where there's so much shit. We've lived so much life and we're in currently so much life of different shit going on that like you never run out of things to talk about because there's always a, you know, what's going on with this relative or you see this buddy or this guy that we grew up with or this girl. oh my god that happened to them what the but I'm talking like when you were like 17 mm-hmm didn't know what you're gonna get walking to a wildcard situation situation how about this in the whole time

Ah, shit. did I have a bad nickname my dad called me the duck for a minute because I'd be walking so slow we'd take walks all the time and I'd be walking I'd be so many steps behind them so I'm not trying to like go anywhere people that

walk fast I'm like what's the hurry yeah like we're taking a walk let's just chill dude yeah that nickname for a while um stuck for a minute I don't really know if I had any I didn't like Come on, B. I mean, in high school and college and stuff, not a reminiscent of it, but it was just BP was you? Never really that. I never really had a nickname, man.

You really didn't. Yeah, it was always just like Benny. My dad called me B, but nobody was really calling me anything. I'll think of it later if someone did, but I would definitely remember if I had a cool one. I don't think so. What was your, what was your 34,

football nickname again? Bullet. That's pretty nice, man. I liked it, but I was like, not bad. Wouldn't play too well today, probably, but. Bullet.

I liked it. My dad still calls me out a little bit every now and now, just on some dumb, just on some, like, whatever. It's pretty solid. But a lot of those, Nicknames were really good back then. I couldn't even believe.

Sometimes I was like, damn, how do you think of that? Yeah. I kind of remember thinking of that myself, even in like fourth grade. I was like, I was asking my parents and like sisters for help though.

Because I was like, I don't want something. Because if I think it's cool, I'm literally nine, like how cool can it be? So I was running it by like my, my dad and stuff. Is that cool?

Is that cool? AJ Peak, Peekaboo? I was like, that's hard, bro. Doing the thing too. scored during the jamboree

I was like bro that is money I didn't think AJ Pek had that in him in multiple ways no he was low key pretty good I was like damn okay number one too I was like I didn't know I didn't know we had like ballers like this

all right that's like a whole Nike marketing campaign right there for a nine year old I know but there are a lot lot of those and like I guess sometimes they had older brothers that like had the nickname and passed it down which I didn't know.

Oh yeah I remember the legacy shit. I was like oh whoa. They inherit that. Yeah me and you not happening. Right. I don't know. I literally didn't know anything. Yeah, I was never I'm with you though.

I was never like I never had one of those just like big staying power. Everybody went with that nickname. the closest thing and now this is just like at the point in high school not a reverence about when everybody didn't go to Ron Kelly

when everybody had a nickname at some point mine was just it was just Jay Moli that's so funny how you like brought that out and only like I would have called you that

there's like two there's like two people who still call me that and like but it plays with them just because that's our like relationship and that's their vibe and that's how, you know. But like, no, like if you called me Jay Moley, I'd be like, what the fuck? Shut up.

Oh. Yeah. Maybe after nine bottles of wine. Yeah. You had Indiana land. Then I'd be like, all right, cool. Now, now we're talking. But no, I never had like, you know, somebody with your last name, somebody with a last name.

And then, like, you get a nickname from that last name. And then your last name becomes your name. That was not me But you have stupid ones You like call your friends You know like your best friends that you like You know like how you like have a pet And he has a name

Your pet is a name But you call everything but the name You start to do that to your homie sometimes That's me with my son Yeah That gets kind of fun Like I absolutely get that We were calling Chiller

I started calling him Fonzie one night like, you know, Fonzie. Bro. And Joe King's dad calls him Fonzie forever now. Nice. Well, it's Fonzie up to. I'm like, that doesn't make any sense. Hey, how, dude, okay, how about this for a nickname?

We, we wore him down so much with it. That on his, that he, he, our senior year, his like graduation shit in the graduation booklet, like on our senior shirts, he's just Andy Ward. That's such a good story. Sorry, babe. Got no choice. We wore him down for four years. We're picking your. name. That now, dude, that now when somebody like my mom or

someone will still, because they've known them forever, they'll still be like, what's Andrew up to? I'm like, who? Andrew Luck? He retired. And there's a, you know, war. I'm like, oh. Yeah, we just warm down, man. Yeah, you're right. Sometimes your friends just fucking

Your parents, sorry, they don't have a say in this. we're daddy now another another one another one of my best friends last name's baker our football we just called him baker that was his nickname right we just called him baker our football coach and apc coach he decided to take it upon himself to call him bakes pretty good so now 15 years later he's not baker he's bakes What coach did that?

The coach. Oh. Hurricane. Yeah. Oh, shit. We're getting all sorts of origins out here now. We're getting all sorts of fucking real names out here this week, baby. For a minute, like when I was coaching JV football, they called me Coach P forever.

Coach P, Coach P, Coach P, Coach P, Coach P, Coach. And, uh, Chiller. was living with me at the time and he started calling me Coach P for a little bit Yo, Coach Pete Like, you know how like it just gradually turns into a different name?

Dude, he was called me Coach Pete. Coach Pete. Bro. And now I don't think he calls me anything but just Pete. Hey, Pete. Pete. Pete.

Pete. Hey, throw me a cup. Hey, Pete. I was just like, yeah, Pete. And you know what? Chillers is the kind of guy that that works incredibly well. It's real.

Joe King couldn't do that, I don't think. Joe King, you'd be like, shut the fuck up. Chiller, though? You're like, all right, yeah. I got another one from King. I don't know. One night, we were just like, we had pizza like three times

and we started raiding the pizza. Like every pizza we had, and we just started like, and we started calling each other the pizza judges, dude. So now when King sees me, he goes, what up, Judge? Every time, just judge. And it just comes from us eating pizza.

That's the pizza judge, I know, bro. When I, like, do something, you know. That's so funny. You said that because I swear to God, my brother-in-law, he's a lawyer, all right? My uncle, my, so my dad's little brother, he's the kind of guy that just like, yeah, he just says whatever, it just says stupid shit. And so he just started because my brother-in-law is a lawyer, he started calling him, Judge. Just because it's like law.

Yeah. You know? All right, Judge. Yeah. Yeah. So you're a judge. I got a judge. Dude, everybody.

Hey, Carmen. He's a judge. What's your weird nickname that makes no sense? Pete, Judge. Got them all. or or if you gave your if you made your friends change their name if you wore it down and it could just be a like I said Andrew to Andy Fonzie

Love y'all. Some ass with a rotissory chicken juice stained Vince Wolf Forg Pro Bowl Reebok jersey. God. Let's see if I can play this here. What were the sports logos like in the 90s? One of these kind of trends here. Oh, the Super Bowls in New Orleans, the one in Phoenix. Yeah.

Okay. So you get to the GIST, the NBA on NBC, NBA Finals of 98, World Series of 97, what the FedEx Orange Bowl used to look like. The calves that had the ball going through the hoop in the mid-late 90s. Love it. Yeah, those two Super Bowls back-to-back that you had the fucking triple Xs for Super Bowl 30 down there in. Tempe with the Cowboys and the Steelers. And then the next year, pretty sure it was the next year. Yeah, it was the next year.

You had the New Orleans Super Bowl between the Packers and the Patriots. It was just like the most New Orleans logo of all time. Basically just a jester with green, purple, and yellow. Why can't we do that anymore? Of course, this song is to Iris by the Goo Goo Goo Dolls. I really like this one Excuse me Baby boy

Yeah dude That's I think I think that's Broncos Falcons You know it's Broncos Why is this so Broncos bro

Hey this in the Papa John's logo Is just actually my identity Holy shit You mix this in the Papa John's logo It just makes my face Dude the colors This might be my favorite Super Bowl logo

I love the logos for the Super Bowl because there's not a clear cut number one Like everybody has a different flavor And it seems like me and you would have one That we both like the most But I think we have We like different ones But I like like seven of them

Or like a first place tie Dude There's there's I mean Oh my God But then even the early 2000s Like kind of our childhood era I mean, really tough to beat the, well, what is that? NBA All-Star weekend.

Oh, it's San Antonio with the Alamo? I'm purposely put, like with the pepper. Yeah. Oh, God. The, but in like the early 2000s, when you had the after 9-11, when you had the full America one, all the red wine and blue there, that was pretty sick. Dude, if it's, if it's the right time,

night, I'll cry looking at this. Like if it's 2.13 a.m. and I see this, I might cry a little bit. Hey, also play the Orange Bowl at night. It's not a day game. Who do we need to talk to about that? Like, what are we doing, dude? Such a night game. Drives me nuts. The only, the only two day games that are loud in those big bowls. Rose.

Rose Bowl. Alback The Cotton Bowl Well the Alback bowl That's like all our shit You know Bro cotton bowl's kind of at night though No see to me dude

Put the cotton bowl just like During the day Is that New Orleans? Am I triven? No that's the sugar bowl That's what Sugar Bowl is That don't start that until 945

Literally go as late as pot 1 a.m. kickoff And if Virginia Tech isn't in it I don't know what to do with myself. Rose Bowl at dusk. Michigan's in it and wearing white jerseys. All those other ones, dude, the Orange Bowl, it's Miami.

It sounds like it's night, dude. When I see the Orange Bowl being played at like 3 p.m. on New Year's Day. What? Just got to hangover. Just made the hangover worse. this is this really confused i mean i don't want to get off the bull talk bro that might be a brown recluse spider over there kind of scared perfect what's it gonna do what's it really gonna do

i think it's moved since the start of the show this really gets me gone fires me up pistons logo i'm like so so you guys don't miss that at all like you don't like that kind of same with the what the what the titans just did Yeah. Just going to the circle. Just going to the clean Fortune 500 CEO. Dude, we're going to see that Titans logo with the Flames in like three years and be like, God, it was really like that.

That was on their helmets. And we just said, no, thank you. What kind of decision? There's a few things about this show. And one, we've always been on. from the jump as we've been a very pro Eddie George Steve McNair era Tennessee Titans uniforms

That's the Titans man White helmets White helmets white ham White helmets Navy jersey Baby blue shoulders White pants There's nothing wrong

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that Cover mad and Eddie George In the new Oh Oh Hey pacifier Madden, 2001, EA Sports.

It's in the game. Let's go to, let's go to our pal, Tony. Tony says, AFC versus NFC and NFL jersey numbers. Chevy, AFC, Ford,

NFC? They seem like both AFC for some reason. Really, I was going to say both NFC. Ooh. But I do think Dodge seems like NFC. See, to me, Honda is more AFC. And Chevy and Ford are both in the NFC North. That's an interesting thing.

What's Jeep? A lot of these are screaming AFC to me. Jeep's the NFC West. Damn, I drive an NFC car. It's pretty cool. NFC West for sure. Hold on, hold on. I don't know what's going on with my brain right now.

Car brands. Dude, and a Jeep is just so Arizona Cardinals. Yeah. You're right. Jeep is so NFL or Arizona Cardinals. And then a beat up, a beat up Lions Blue Ford is just the NFC North.

That is the Lions. I thought of, lions for Ford too but Ford just I don't know Toyota so I think it's NFC dude now yeah not a lot of AFC with car

brands my mind with NFC too A Kia I get to NFC for some reason I think Kia I just think Clippers because Blake Griffin jumped over that one and Clippers are West Coast and that just seems like

these are all literally the first two things that came to my mind when you said, what was the first one you said, Toyota? First thing in my mind. First thing came to my mind for Toyota was Seattle Seahawks. When you said Kia, the first thing came to my mind was San Francisco 49ers. For Dodge, I think I was thinking Dodge Ram and RAM NFC. I think that's what did that.

All right, while you think on that, I'll keep going. I know this sounds like an old man yelling at clouds, but can we bring back the old NFL jersey numbering system? I still haven't warmed up to seeing a linebacker wearing number six. I kind of respect when new players stick with the old numbers. Running back's 20 to 49, wide receivers 10 to 19, 80, 89, etc. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. Smack my ass with the Brett Farf, Madno 9 cover while I trade for a bowscape

to bring a pass blocking tight end into my squad. Thanks for making me laugh every week, Tony. Appreciate you, Tony. First time hearing from you. I go back and forth on this. but I appreciate that. Team these guys at gmail.com, thanks buddy.

Go back and forth on the numbers. Yeah. I am with Tony. But can I see another really dominant top of the game receiver just wearing 88 again? It looks so good. I need an 88 and 84 and then I need a number two

that could be a number one on other teams to be number 87. 81 was so cool. cold. Like 81 on every NFL team. I was like he's so fast. Now it's the slowest guy alive. Yeah.

See, when you said 81, my mind went to like Marcus Pollard. I went to like a tight end. But to your point, I think it wasn't Desmond Howard and Al Shabazz. Weren't they 81? As Haqim. As Haim, sorry. What was Dante Hall? 82

See but if Dante Hall was playing now he would be number 11 1 Dante Hall would be one boy damn some guys are just so yeah and that was the cool thing about college

too it was like ooh yeah he's number one yeah when you had a linebacker number like two or something in college and you couldn't do that in the NFL I was like that is so sick

you had to cherish that Because you knew, man, once he gets, once he puts that hat on 56. New identity. But like, I was cool with that. I was like, yeah. Michael Parsons number one. No, one for the Packers is so cold. Oh, he's one for the Packers.

That's right. That it's actually so crazy. It makes me want to cry almost. He's number one. I don't know. Oh. Just I, I'm a traditionalist. I'm old school that way.

Yeah, I'm like, like you said, college, all about it. Fuck them up even more. I'm like, that's what it's for. It's college. Whoa, getting crazy. Yeah, let's go. Yeah, pass rush are wearing number two. Who cares?

There was something so professional about Reggie Bush being number five, then having to be number 25 in the league. Yeah, it's just a little bit of like, hey, man, fun's over, right? This is a job. Time to be serious, babe. That's how I feel. I just, it's really, it's really just the wide receivers. I'm like, God, we grew up on 88, 84, sometimes 89, definitely 87.

There are some numbers in the teens, though. They could do that. There wasn't many. But there'd always be like a white guy number 13 in there, and you'd be like, do you kicker? Yeah, man. I mean, like, San Antonio Holmes, 10? Crazy.

Back then in 08? Baller pick. You know when he saw 10 was opening? he was like, let me get that. For sure. Because he was four in college? Oh, sick number career. Definitely.

What was Ted Ginn? Ted Ginn was seven to 17 or something? Ted Ginn, Dolphins, I think he was 17. Yeah, 19, 19? Yeah, there's a 19. I think he was 19 on the dolphins, 17 on the Panthers. If memory serves correct. Okay.

face mask, dude. Love it. Love that. So fast. Was that right? 19. Wait, right.

Panthers too? Hold on, hold on. Not a Panthers podcast. Keep pounding. 19. Yeah.

Panthers. And Dolphins. Shit. But he's a in the teens receiver. Yeah. Also, if he was rocking 81, wouldn't be mad.

what the fuck? Okay. Yeah, for some reason, those like opening games in college football, the big ones, they still don't seem like

they count as much. Yeah, because, yeah, they don't know who they are yet, yeah. No, seriously,

I don't, college football isn't like a real thing to me until like week eight. I'm like, oh shit. Well, it starts getting real,

but this happens once a year in September, every year. And it is so great. It's that first morning that you step outside to let the dog out or to go to your car to get coffee and the crispness in the air is there. Yep. And you're like, never gets old. I can smell it. I can feel it. It's breathing new life into my body. Gone are the days of, maybe not fully gone are the days of just, just, just balls hot, you know, just like you step outside and you want to die hot. There might be a couple more in the clip. A couple more. Couple though, just a couple.

But that signifies like we're on the other side. And for a while, there's a chance that you're going to have ideal weather. Uh-huh. Crisp, dude. You're thinking about apples. You think about apples and pumpkins and candles. It just makes your body feel good. Coffee's starting to hit a little bit different.

Shorts in a long sleeve? Dude. Okay. Shorts and a crewneck on September 12th at 722 a.m. Yep. Taz, New York Giants crewneck for no reason. What's up? Jordan shorts.

Fresh pair of socks on, white shoes. What's up? And that's so funny. A, calf never been more sculpted. flippies flopping flippies are flopping Hey hey crosswalk Wee we

Go G man You're like Just throw it on And they're the best one Crew necks That's the only thing of clothing Crenax and hats I guess the only item of clothing that like the more weird fucked up the better it is oh yeah oh my like you'd

ever wear that hat any other time give me a give me a heather gray cruneck with the tasmanian devil teabagging dennis rodman with his like cheetah hair i'd pass out if i saw you in it just give me the loudest most obnoxious thing on my hat that you've ever seen your entire life You know what? Let me wear a hat that has beer logos all over it. Yep. Looks perfect. Those two things.

Yeah. It's like, no, I don't want just a, I don't want to. I mean, you could go this way. You could have a plain Jane gray crew neck that just has, you know, one word across it. That also plays. But I feel like with crew necks, yeah, dude, let's just get, let's get wild. Put all the cartoons on them. Hey, Bill Cowers chin.

everything spit hey tattered ripped up collar and sleeves makes it look a thousand times better Tweetybird with an Arizona Cardinals helmet on it I'm like yeah I'll take it looks perfect to me give me all of them so I'd say that's I mean you know I'm an August baby my son's an August baby

so personally you know what am I dead month but I get it at school Everybody yells me about that. But like at the same time, like, dude, August when you first get back to school, that's the easiest shit. You're not doing anything. Yeah. It's basically still summer and you're back in with your friends for a little bit. Week two in school.

I'm like, I have a science quiz. Oh, my God. I don't know anything. I'm still on summer break. Can we have a science quiz next week? About what? First day of school air? I'm actually going to throw up.

School air, bro. That's what's funny, though, is because school, a, first day of school air, not too dissimilar from last day of school air. Coward, bro. Hey, we got to hit our, we got to hit our right. Right. Last day of school air. Last day of school air is like sweaty.

Let's get out of here. End of the day. open up the eighth grade room area. Whoa, what the hell's going on in here? No, no, no, no, no. I'm talking, I'm talking when you step outside to go to your car, if you're getting picked up or if you're driving, whatever it is on the first day of school and the last day of school,

that walk out to that car, feeling and smelling pretty similar. Yeah, I don't know. And that's how fine of a line greatness is. It looks the same. It feels the same. It is totally different. I mean, like May 24th You're walking out

Still got a little bit of dewy on the grass a little bit But like you know it's like it's gonna be warm in like two hours Same shit in August Yeah I don't know Just that summer's over air and that summer's Just begun there Oh shit

That's a little different for me No I know No they are different but they're also on the surface pretty similar. Hey, it's like, you know, technically. The Joker and Batman are both on, you know, the same spectrum just at opposite end. They don't know.

They got these two ass clowns talking about the first and last day of school. Okay. Talk about school. They got people in their car. They want to listen about something. they want to hear about something they can give a rat's ass about my ass with back

dude what if you did all those in front of a girl like on the first date that's like all I think about sometimes like what if you really just did all that she'd be like what the fuck is going on is you think I was a fucking serial killer sociopath what if you were out of the day with a girl and you went to break oh shit that wouldn't be

too bad. You're going to have to go to the bathroom. It's back. See, we've been sitting here for eight minutes and no one's even come by to get our drink. Go to this place. Yeah, the reviews say it's good.

It's not good. Get up. Throw the fucking napkin down. Wait, what? Wait, where are you going? What? What are you to say? He started doing this weird

voice, like. He wanted me to call him double D. Hey, these guys love the show. From Daniel. Can Lee Corso reveal my baby's gender with a mascot head pick? Whoa, look at this guy.

Dear Ben and Joe. Taking some liberties here. Who's that? My confirmation sponsor? Second time, long time. Big fan of the show. My brother recently had a kid, which is awesome. But when I learned the name, I was taking aback. first name Griffin, middle name Paul. While the rest of my family was focused on getting to hold him

and celebrate the circle of life moment, I sat in the hospital, waiting room, shared thinking to myself, did my brother just name his kid after the 2011-2012 Lob City Clippers? She's turned on no about this? Unfortunately, that was not the case. They just happened to be two family names. But it got me thinking, what athlete name or sports name would you want your name to be or what athlete sport name would you want to name your kids

thanks for making tuesdays great dan from new mexico hey how about it dan congrats to your brother as well tell him to join the discord you hop in there too um man god this this is a really good one to end on because we'll probably be talking about it for the next 30 minutes not that I haven't thought about this every single day what is it what uh if you if you

had a kid and you could name them after an athlete just here it is what athlete name or sports name would you want to give your kid

or kids dang oh my god what should we name them I was thinking Plexico-Beris-Politsy thoughts. Sounds pretty elegant to me. What's the prettiest name you've ever heard, Dallas Clark? Dallas Clark, Moulinard.

Dante Cole Pepper Politi. Gosh. I mean, I came pretty close with it. I say I can't really do it now because I got Frankie. But Franco. Franco Harris Franco Molanaro God thank

Just trying to Just trying to Couldn't get it passed by the wife But just get as close as he can But never tell her You know I don't know why Yeah I feel like naming them

Santone Santone Santone No reason No reason Palomalo just go Fallen

Just skip the Troy Yeah Palamalu Politi Dude I love alliteration Yeah I named him Polly Polly

No reason why P OLLLY Is his nickname Like a long came Polly But it's really just short For Palomalo Palamalu Yeah I named him

Dane Dane Oh any reason No Not La Dane and Tomlinson or anything like that. Oh shit. Just sneak in, dude,

your kid's name's just sneaky your favorite NFL player. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. They're just Heinz. Yeah, I'm naming them Ron. Oh, any reason?

No, not really. It's definitely not Ronde Barber or anything. Hey, you could already, you're already kind of there for yourself. It been just been Jarvis Green Ellis Yeah I like Nick It's a real strong name And it kind of reminds me of Hakeem Nix in 2009

Hakeem Nix Colts jersey Never forget Only one Dude I think I bought it The like minute after he got traded to the Colts I was like I gotta get this I might have been like I might be one of seven guys in the whole world

To have that I think you're definitely the only one that has a Hakeem Nakes Cold Shurzy with the Dan Levitart show logo. Oh my God. Dude, no, nobody, nobody's ever thought of that. I don't even think. What made you do that? They had like a soundbite they would play.

It was like Hakeem Nix laughing on their show and they always played it when something happened. Hakeem Nix left. And I just had a Hakeem Nix jersey and I was like, yo, if I pop up on the Dan Lovitar show with a Dan Lvitard Hakeem Nix series, they're going to lose their minds. Didn't you? I forgot it.

Yeah. Oh, I was going to say, you build your head, build it up in your head, something like that's going to happen. Then like, they're like,

oh, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I wanted those reactions. I'd fall over if somebody did that. I went through all this shit.

Yeah. It's like us with the, the Boston boys with the, with the custom jersey. Like, we fucking. I'm about, jumped off the table.

How about jumped off the bar at Sluggers? Kissed them. What else? God, I'm trying to go through. That error. Yeah, we'll think on it. We'll think on it. Amis there away.

For sure. For sure. Fish you. All right. Go ahead. Pull the plug here. Actually, let's do one more here. This is from Stefan.

First time, wife does not get the show. Hey, my name's Steph. First time email her instant fan. Earlier this week, my Bluetooth connects the pod to the car. And in less than a minute, my wife goes, who are these guys? I answer, yes. Just started listening and banged out 60 episodes in about a month.

I'm a UPS driver and listen while getting through the day. Anytime I pass someone on the highway while in the truck, I tossed up the 2019 Tyreek Hill Deuces. Just wondering if you guys could pull any sports celebration throughout your day as well. Go Steelers. Slap one cheek with the infant-sized Cordell Stewart jersey from my hospital, newborn picture, and the other cheek with a somehow blue,

but still somehow see-through PS2 controller. P.S. Nesquick, AFC, Hershey Syrup NFC. For sure. Hershey's font. NFC. We hadn't even gotten to your email yet. And I think we talked about that like a week or two ago.

So yeah, hit the nail on the head. Well, hey, if your wife doesn't get the show, I mean, the fact that you're able to bang out all those episodes, probably not with her, but, you know, worse things that could have happened. Turn it off. Yeah. Just a clubhouse thing, babe. You wouldn't understand. That's all you got to say. New merch?

just a clubhouse thing? I don't know. It's a clubhouse thing. Wow. It really is though. Just saying. Just saying. That's funny.

The Tyree killed deuces. Yeah, God, what a fucking, like, to be able to do that one time. That celebration. You're running full speed at me and I'm kind of jogging, but like this is how fast I am.

Dude, it was so sick. They had out loud, didn't they? They're like, you can't do that. Like that is the coolest celebration of ever When he was kind of under the radar doing that I was like And then I looked him up on Instagram And his name was just Cheetah

I was like Yeah dude hey When athletes When athletes have killer animal nicknames Hey Jeff Samarja Shark There's a couple other ones NFL NFL player Instagram handles

Are so funny sometimes I think you've talked about it before Yeah it's best It's just like the first thing they did in college and they just haven't changed it and you're like President Mall I'm like dude

you're so cool I'm going to kill myself if you guys could if you guys pull out any sports celebrations throughout your day as well did we have any sports celebrations is that we asking? No like during your day to day if you pull out any sports celebrations

hmm do I ever do? I almost pull out a grunk spike about three times a day because my dog's pissed me off so much. Just my phone, anything. God, dang. I'm usually slapping stuff. That's kind of like how I react positively or negatively to anything.

I'll slap the piss out of the wall. I've seen you do that. With a good hit and a good sound, I'm like, yeah, okay. We've had a couple brainstorming nights and sessions and shit where it's like, it'll be like 2.30. And yeah, we'll crack onto something and Ben will just stand out. Smack the shit out of it. I'm like, that's so true.

That's so true. There's still one idea that a little bit. Yeah. Uh-huh. There's still one idea you thought of a long time ago. We still haven't done it, but it's still so good. We'll do it one day. Do tell or do we not?

because I don't know who goes. Talk offline. We pretty much turn into what we do now with Johnson. Yeah. For a while there, I was doing the Antonio Brown

like salsa thing that he did. It wasn't even a salsa. You remember when he was like Pek A-B and he would kind of do the like, yeah. I'd incorporate that every now and then. If I got real excited about something or something was really, something was really hidden, I was feeling it.

Yeah. Damn, I never do that shit. I guess I will jump up and down a little bit. I'm boring. I sound so fucking boring. I guess I'll jump up and down and laugh. Yeah. That's it, though.

No other emotions. Your hunting. That's your hauntie celebration right there. I don't show emotion unless it's with you, Pete. Not even lady I know P-I-T-Y Dude

Hi after a long day She comes back Now she was only gone for like 45 minutes She had to return some at T-J Max But he just thinks she's been gone for years She opens the door Hi, Pity

It's been so long Pity he's like it withering away he misses her so much short-surgating but she like checks the fucking she checks the fucking

he checks the cameras in the house basically like he's a fucking pet checks checks on him he just is just sitting there the dining room table same face dining room table 48 minutes

staring at the door for her to come back. Hi, Haiti. It's such a nightmare. I literally hate it, but I can't stop doing it. Petty. Dude, somebody said something so funny in the Discord about that. I listen to the podcast while I'm like planting some flowers for Pallady.

I was like That's so real man Everybody was on their Hunty shit this weekend For the pee I love how the clubhouse calls their girl And wife Pity Lady now Dude that is so funny

It's not even my wife It's just for the Pee Lady Hi Oh fuck It's Pee Lady that's a new that's a new goal is to get so big that

it gets so big that Peel ladies would take pride in it and would wear a hat that says Peel lady dude I would literally fall on the ground and melt into the ground if I saw a girl wearing a Peel lady hat

Pea lady merch dude I'm gonna kill all all because I would feel that way all just because, again, Clubhouse knows that sketch did absolutely nothing when we put it out. And I thought it was like... I actually think it ruined your career.
