From the Civil War Scrapes and cuts And Derns George Washington's Pizza Stone Or whatever Did he cook on there? He had to have. Dude, well, how come every, like, oven and you did, like, every plate, every pan is just torn to shit after the first use?

Mm-mm-mm-hmm. Yeah. I'm panming so hard. Do my dad get so mad when I come over there? When I come visit, dude, I just ruin the pans. For actual food or for videos? No, for real food. Because I'm cooking. He sat down with me.

He goes, we need to have a serious conversation. And I was like, oh, God, this is the first one ever. The last time he had a serious conversation with me is when he told me he's getting married. I was like, what? So I was like, this might be like, I don't know what this is. He's like, you got to stop beating up the pans. I was like, dude, I don't know. Maybe I cook wrong.

Maybe I don't pay him in enough, but. What do you? Yeah. It's just, they're in the oven too long? No, I'm talking about like skillet on top of the oven. Like cooking like eggs. Grand turkey. Maybe I leave it in there a little bit long.

Yeah. Do you oil it down? I mean, a lot. Yeah. Hmm. I think I just cook hard. Well, Christmas is coming up. In the kitchen going.

Halloween's over. You could ask for some new pot. You get coach peace, some new bots and bands. Bots and bands. I never get rid of mine is the thing. Like the pans I have in L.A., they'll just be like that forever. Oh, yeah.

Caked with like. There's a few, there's a few, there's a few cookie trays or just cooking sheets that my mom has that absolutely could survive a nuclear war. Oh yeah. George Washington.

If you stood outside after a nuclear war, like the bombs were just dropped. You stood outside and you put one of those things over your face. Rest your body, be screwed. Face. Muffin tray.

He's got you for life. Yeah. The only thing left on earth your mom's muffin trays in the backyard. whole world blows up oh wow this small and arrows muffin trays they're like do we find somebody who's like a doomsday prepper do we go down to their basement

that they've got these vaults and everything nah just give me my mom's cooking tricks that's it'd be all right it's the only thing you keep them under the oven too in that weird little drawer that somehow I think you're supposed to use that

if you've seen a TikTok like that recently somebody's like, you know you're supposed to put your lasagna in here and broil it down in that little thing? Yeah, I haven't seen that. I'm going to now. You're supposed to actually use that little compartment. People just shove their rusty pans in there. I would use those to defend myself. And then I would use one of those bedside table alarm clocks that they all have with the red digital numbers.

Oh, yeah. I would use that to be able to keep me on, be able to tell what time it is through a nuclear war. You don't need all this crazy stuff. Those alarm clocks. Just get every, every mom had one. My parents had dual. They had I Love Lucy digital alarm clocks. I love Lucy on each, on each of their bedside tables.

How come that's all I watched when I was a kid was I love Lucy. I got to start faking sick. I love Lucy, dude. You know, his and hers. Yeah. You did not watch I love Lucy. I did. I watched a lot of, what was it?

always on and then it got a little spooky then you had Nick at night with like are you afraid of the dark and like cablam but then super late night I feel like it was always Cosby show Oh, yeah. Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

I remember up for that. Your boy's going to bed at like 930 when he's good. They would go through some crazy runs of Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I remember summertime. It would be, you know, 10.30, I'd be chilling, laying there on like a Tuesday night. Fresh Prince would be on and be like, cool. Then, you know, you're 11 years old, so you're just staying up because what else do you have to do? So you just keep staying up.

Yeah. And you got no TV guide or anything like that. So every time it'd be like the end of the episode, it'd be like, is it? Are we running about again? Boom. Another one. Another fresh prince. Another one.

Didn't even want to go to the NFL. I was just like arena would be sick. Arena football. Because the team names were so sick, the Rattlers. Colorado Crush. Philadelphia Soul. Indiana Firebirds. I was like, this is the league for me.

They really did, yeah. Arena football. I almost bought that disc replay the other day. I'm not even kidding. That's insane. There are so many of those like fringe PlayStation 2 games. man the one that was just head coach

or that head coach was crazy like great idea in theory until you start playing it for eight minutes and you're like oh I think I think I'm done with this I think I never played it I never so you couldn't actually play you just called the plays

I'm not really sure because I played no I did but I think I played it for I think I rented it one night when you know one of those nights where you're it's Friday night and there's not a lot going on or maybe you have a friend over and you're just coach yeah you well yeah you're just like but blockbuster please and your mom and dad don't want anything to do with going

a blockbuster no not doing it so much not doing it we're not doing family family video uh hollywood video yeah no we're not of them we're not please got please you keep going back and go to the grocery store remember the grocery stores used to have them you like yeah you like follow you like follow them around a little bit like your friend is maybe, I don't know, let's say you're on AIM or something and you let your friend kind of shit out there for a second. You're like, yeah, turn on some music or something.

Then you go corner your dad when he's like in his seat in the living room. God, he doesn't want to at all. You go back and forth. Finally, someone gives in. No, what happens is the mom's like, I'll take him. And then dad's like, no, no, no, no, no. And then they go back and forth. You feel guilty the whole time?

You feel guilty in the car? They don't even want to take me. No, no. Then if friends, like, you're kind of awkwardly still trying to have fun, dad just silent in their driver's seat. I'm like, can you at least play along, dad? Like, damn, we got, we got guests. Like, act like you're having a good time.

This is crazy. You know, every, hitting every light. Oh, the quiet, yeah. Every single light. There's a, you know, just construct an accident. He's got to take a different route. You know, listening to X 103 on the radio. You were like thinking about maybe asking for him to stop and like pick up a dominoes or Papa John's pizza.

He's in a good mood, right? No, not happening. But like you get into the video story like, fine, we're finally here. I don't know. It's Friday night. Let's get a little weird with it. Yeah. Let's get something crazy.

I think it was one of those. And then we took it back home and played. And I was more concerned about like my dad being pissed. I wasn't even. Dude, that's every. That's my whole childhood. You can tell your friends. It's not really in it.

you know he's like god you're like he's probably faking sick to go home oh my god dude the bail out of a sleepover i think i'm at my mom pick me up i'm like dude you can i really bombed this didn't i you can i bombed this whole thing you could feel that in the air so quickly something's got to happen dude you need a momentum you need a turnover dude need a block oh man absolutely yeah absolutely yeah and it gets to the point sometimes you're like Dude, sometimes you got to call him for backup and get your other friend to spend the night to save the day. You ever have to do that? Yeah, to break up the tunis to get three.

Yeah. Come on, dude. Bring in a third party. Just begging for somebody. Yeah. Breaks the monotony a little bit. He brings some new energy into the house. Your mom likes his mom.

She's happy to see him. You know what I mean? Yeah, then maybe all of a sudden, you know, your parents are like, well, now we got three kids. Well, I guess now we have to order a pizza because we got all these mouths. Let's go! Let's go! That's what I'm talking about Now we're, hey, now we're getting in talks about like, wait, how old are we?

Is this, this is like middle school? 11 or 12. Yeah, okay, okay. We might stay out all night. We might like go to the neighbor's house, see what's going on in the neighborhood. Now we're like getting ideas doing different things. We're not playing video games. We're having fun now.

Because when you're 8 and 9, like that was when I first would do sleepovers. Like when I'd go over to like Danny Cox's or Jordan Reesers. I was like 8 or 9 years old. And like when you're that young, nothing matters because you're just. so thrilled and cannot believe you're out of the house. So you never have one of those moments. You're not conscious enough to be like, this is kind of lame.

Like this is kind of weird. I want to go home. At that point, you're just like, ha, there's a basement. Yeah. So hype.

Like, doesn't matter. Usually sleepovers at that point, I feel like when they're eight and nine, the sleepovers were always like, there's six people here. Oh, it's deep.

Yeah. And so like you just, I don't know, you'd like throw down couch cushions on the ground and just play like WWE and you're like having the best time of your life. You don't even realize. Hide and seek outside. Oh.

But football game in the dark. That 11 to 12 is a weird time frame because you're past that point of being young enough to where anything goes. But you're not old enough to be like 14, go to a movie or a mall or like go meet up with girls or something. Yeah. How a lot of things set up. Right. Like 11 and 12. You kind of, you have to really plan it out well.

And if you don't, man, you can sniff that in the air. You got a call in number three. or you got to throw the hell merry you got to be like I might think about like breaking some rules Right I might think about like We gotta like vandalize something

tonight Do we need to go egg Some like some cars My mom's got like six eggs In the fridge Yeah Like we're talking I will do that

I will risk Getting my ass chewed out And grounded Gotta save the night So you don't Make me feel weird That you're not having fun I have like 10 paintballs

Upstairs You want to throw them at stop signs Dude should we hit a mailbox With a bat and run home start making shit up you're like I don't know there's a creek down the way

maybe there's like a I don't know like a dead body there or something yeah dude we'll just tell my dad we're like skipping rocks in it we'll try to find that body dude that's a cray do you ever when you get older in high school

I remember we used to do this I never went but like there was some haunted bridge or something somewhere did you ever did your friends ever do that dude I there was a place that was in between

I can't think of the name. It wasn't a bridge, but there was a place that was in between Bloomington and like the south side where we grew up. And it was just this little pathway off into the woods. Yeah, dude. It was pretty spooky. I just got scared. All that means over. Yeah, but 11 to 12, dude, that is a tough time for a sleepover.

I think I'm going to remember that for when Frank's that age. He's going to beg. Yeah, have a plan, dude. Can Stevie come over instead of night? I'll be like, yeah, well, why don't you? You know what? Hey, let's just invite them all. Invite the whole old line.

Or you got him, have an event that you're like your dad. Our dad's taking us to this thing. Like a game. Oh, yeah, yeah. That was a lifesaver. Like if you could go, if you could do like a Friday. Firebirds game, dude. Well, even if you could do like a Friday night high school football game.

Oh, my God. It's like, hey, dad's taking us to the football game. So you're going. you're on the way there, you're all hyped and everything. Oh, yeah. You're in the backseat. Cool, cool, cool. Get to the football game.

Run around like crazy for three hours. And then by that time, it's like, dad probably is picking up pizza. He's hungry. He's hungry. He's hungry. He's hungry from the game, too. And he's like rewarding himself.

Yeah, yeah. Hey, we earned this. Team A, the high school team wins or lose. You're getting pizza either way. They won. We got to get pizza. They lost.

We need to pick me up. Yeah, yeah. We got to get pizza. Yeah, maybe you'll go to like the local restaurant right there that all the different. different families and everything are going to. So that's another like hour on. That's crazy.

I don't know. Is that you going to have a beer? Oh, we might be here for a second. Hold on. You're still running around. But then by that point it's like, okay, well, it's late. Trying to play arcade games in there. You're kind of feeling crazy anyway. So you're like, hey, if we're going home at 11, like, whatever, but like I'm still

kind of amped. That was fun. Now you're all kind of slap happy. Nothing better than being like slap happy. You're supposed to be in bed. Yeah. You're like supposed to be sleeping in your room. Yo.

Nothing funnier. Be quiet. Your mom comes in four times. quiet. Nothing's ever been funnier. Everything is hilarious. Then all of a sudden you're like, are we prank calling you? Hey, do we need to get out the St. Barnabas's directory right now? Should we prank call Mrs. Pardon?

You think the length for men's are up? They're always like, it's 239 a.m. You're sitting criss-cross appleshouse on the living room floor. Nobody's up. You're being all quiet. Is it Star 6-7 or star 6-9? Star 6-9?

I don't know. Dude, try Star 6, 7. They pick up immediately. You're like, fuck, they know. They know. Was that her dad? I didn't even know if she had a dad. He always did try to either, like, the super weird family, you know, that was just

like, what the hell are they doing? Or it was like, yeah, the very neutral, the length for men. So you're like, even if they did pick up and call her ID, you know, you're not going going to say anything to my dad. Dude, that one family, you're like, dude, what if we just called them? How funny would that be? You know what I mean? Like the lame.

kid. You're like, what if he just called his family right now? How crazy with that? He had 239 and just like made up some story. I was about it. I still want to be too loud. You know what I mean? The hot girl that's like two years older. Oh, dude. Ready to dial. The number was plugged in just needed one more. First time my thumb like, I got a nervousness. Over the green talk button. He did. He did. Oh my God. Your friend walks away. starts like oh my god

oh my god girl through her family's number like what are the chances that you would wake up an answer that call literally zero

out of two million just pissing off another middle age dad Jesus Christ for calling for Brittany again it has caller ID too like you're so done for Britney

yeah that's the you're right though shit that was Friday night was key in sleepover Friday night was key in sleepover Saturday yeah it was it would get a little weird

because you know Friday night you're rolling off the high school high school events on Friday you got high school events but you're also rolling off the high of ending the school week oh it's so lit

I just saw you like four hours we're eight o'clock huh yeah what the hell not even eight o'clock like you're picking them up at 545 to go to the 7 o'clock kickoff we've changed clothes and shit that you gotta go home and change quick yeah but then Saturday it's like I don't know maybe they

get dropped off a little too early and then it's weird because you haven't been in school yeah what are we doing for nine hours yeah at that point like shit I got to entertain your ass oh man I had nothing no fun things at my house no it's like we can play catch did she ever go to like a did you ever go to like a Notre Dame watch party local here like I'd rather Michigan I'll myself and go to a Notre Dame. Dude, put a knife in my chest. It wasn't so much a watch parties. It was just like a couple drunk dads

who were big Notre Dame football fans. Like at their house. Yeah, I want to like half people over. So people are like, hey, we're going over the Stevenson's for the Notre Dame game. And like, yeah, like the same scene. Like the dads would be like in the garage. A couple of them would be popped. The moms would be in the kitchen.

But, that's just be running around. Yeah, playing football in the yard. That was another nice thing on a Saturday. day in the fall. You're like, all right, cool. We got that in the back pocket. Yeah. If you had some like Pacers tickets or like something like that. That was a big invite. Dude, I went. Yeah, I know. I went to, uh, coolest thing I've ever done. My dad took me and Sam Patterson to the Ann One mixtape tour at Conceco Fieldhouse on a Friday night.

I was like, damn. Like, this is about to be, like, I don't even know if we're allowed to be in here. I was going to say, we guys, the only white people. there? Yeah. It was so sick. Just all the moves, like all the guys. Hot sauce. Escalade.

The professor. The funny, the best part was the announcer guy that was just on the court. You know what I mean? Was he the guy that NBA Streets was based on? It has to be. It has to be. Joe the show.

Who's the real big fat guy? Thrown it up. Dinner served. Escalade. Escalated. Escalade. The only guy I know who's dead. Escalade for man.

One mixed tape to work. But he was so sick. Everybody's so good. But the thing about the game was, like, they were messing around doing all the moves for the crowd. And like,

but like it got to be a good game at the end. So they're like two minutes left and they really started playing. They're like, fuck all the moves. Dude. They really started ball.

Everybody's like, wait a minute, dude. Kind of wins your dad back over. Dude, he was in. He was like, yo,

those last two minutes, it got real. Yeah, the first 38, I don't know about this nonsense. The last two. Half man, half amazing from the corner. Dude, speak of that, did you see our guy, Eric Collins, made his NFL debut this weekend? Who?

The Hornets broadcast here. Oh my God. That's all. Dude, that's all I watched last night. He's still going! I was like, this is it, man. I don't know what he looks like in real life, but I don't know if I'm ready for it.

It would see what I'm like. No, don't. You have just like stumble upon it. I mean, he's cool. Like he looks, he looks good.

Like, you know, it's not like you'd be like, whoa, what? I'm good with that. Like, that's kind of how I want it.

It's nice to have. It's not, it's really nice to have just like a couple sprinkled in like that. You know, because you get, you got to have your flavor, your flavors of the week, right?

Like, you know, you got, if, if, if, if Nancy's calling your game, you know that you're going to have a classic and he's going to set the scene

and it's going to be beautiful and that's great you know but then you get Eric Collins turn up he's at the level where you're like hey my team's probably not very good this is probably a whack-ass game anyways but this is fun having him

what did dads think about him it's probably pretty torn I bet it's probably like 70-30 I don't like them every play is a 90-yard touchdown yeah dads are so name one thing deads are more critical of

than radio announcers. Oh my, it's the only thing they care about. Hey, me too. Hey, um, this is crazy, but you watch the game last night

or do you watch the game on Sunday night? Uh, Patriots? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you see Toreko? No,

call the guy who caught the ball. Yeah. Like, so Josh Allen threw it in the stands or something, dude catches it, runs up and he like does play by play while he's going up to, he's still a 40.

I've never paid to some shit, paid attention to something more my life than that. Dude, all my attention went to the TV. I was like, what is happening right now? Yeah, that's the best part of the game. Has anyone ever done that? I was like, Kevin Harlan is like known for doing that. Oh.

I was like, why is the camera guy still on? And he kills it every time and he like can't wait. The second something happens out of the ordinary in a game, Kevin Harlan, on it. Oh, he's a dog. Yeah, like that remember a couple years ago where that cat like ran on the field and he was doing play by play of that. He'll

do it for streakers. That's amazing. I didn't know that was a skill set. It's so funny because they have to have that weird rule where like they can't show the streaker on camera, which I hate. I'm like, show us that. You always see it on Twitter though. I know, but Kevin Harlan doesn't care.

He'll just, he'll just call it. Even though you can't see it. He'll. K.H Town. New Fay. Kevin Harlan, that, yeah, that guy. He's one guy that I think all dad's like.

He's a guy that I'll all get received. Spons. To Rico and Twitter, people guys would be like, Kevin Harlan could call paint dry and I'd watch it. So funny. That's the only thing dudes care about. Only thing.

Yeah. My narrator. We talked about it. Yeah, like it always bothers me. People, you know, people are so harsh about like Collinsworth and Herb Street. It's not that bad.

They're the best. What do you mean? They're the best ones. Unlistenable. I'm like, this is not bad at all. No. Like, not even. Same with Joe Buck.

It's because they've never listened to a college radio broadcast, dude. That's what we, like, grew up doing. I was listening to games getting called by, like, 19-year-old nerds that never even saw football in their lives. Back to pass. Dead air. You want to talk about dead air? I'd be like, did the game? Did the whole field blow up?

Why is he not saying anything? Dude, they never said the score. Nothing. I've been, what's the score? Four hours go by. Still another score. Dude, that's the biggest thing. I remember my broadcasting days.

I would just reset. I'm just reset every six seconds. You can't, you can't do it enough. Yeah. Literally you can't. Nope. Do it every between. Ball in the far hash, 42-yard line, hounds moving left to right.

603 left of the second quarter. Greyhounds up 2317. The snap pitch to the left. It's a toss play. He makes his way up field. Two yards. tackled. Then you set the scene again.

Yeah. Redo the score. That's all people want to know because you forget every second too. What was this? Okay. It's 23. So, all right.

Basketball, too. For sure. Yeah. Dude, I remember, who cares? I was just getting back.

Okay. I kind of want to hear about it. What was it? What game? Come on, dude. Set it up. Paint the pick,

dude. I was saying, I was just saying, like, I got to the point. I was real proud of it because I got to the point where I could, like look down and keep track of the runs, you know, like the runs that the teams are going on. Oh, 10-2 runs.

Oh, you were a dog. Yeah, I got to that point. I was like, I might be able to do that. You kind of feel like, after those games, you kind of feel like the man a little bit. This sounds as a nerdyest thing in the world, but I'd be driving home from like a high school football game, 4A game, Southport against FC. I was like, I think we just crushed that. Dejon drives in the lane, dishes to Lord for three.

Barry's that. Hey, three listeners. Yeah, but it's most fun I've ever had. That's actually, I was at the Purdue game this past weekend. And some kid came up to me at a tailgate that we were at. And he was, he was very nice. And he was like, just asking about like, so like, you, this is just what you do. And I was like, yeah, like, this is just, you know, I like, this is my living.

And, you know, whatever. But, like, what did you, like, what you go to college for? Like, would you start? This was this past weekend? Like, what did you want to do? I was like, honestly, did I want to be a sports broadcaster? And he was like, dude, you're so cool. You could.

You could. I've no doubt in my mind. But, uh, but, uh, yeah. We'll toss to break. Here on 93 5, 107.5. What I'm hearing about Daniel Jones contract and, it is going to make you happy on the other side

the future of the cults oh shit all right let's get we got quite a few club clubhouse quite a few new ones too yeah I saw some pretty good subject lines I was like I can't read them yeah

it's hard not to this is god dang let's rip through them dude yeah let's go let's go sc sc sc sc sc sc sc sc sc sc sc sc sc sc sc sc sco sc sc sc sc Let's go to Hunter. Hunter. Hunter.

How about Taylor Swift having a song about honey? I think it's called Honey. H-O-N-E-Y? Yeah. Hunty. It's like, oh, boy. We're getting there. We're getting a little too close.

All right. We need to change all the lyrics. First time you and made a long-time listener. Question about how it drew your mind for you. My brother played in the NFL for a short time. Wow. He was on the 49-inch. practice squad in 23 when they went to the Super Bowl and the Packers preseason roster in 24.

When he was on the 49ers, I custom ordered a jersey. His number was 69. But he wasn't a well-known name and is retired now. I really want to wear it at practice on the GVT, my coach, but feel like it's a bit inappropriate now. My question is, should I still wear his jersey around, even though it says my last name with the number 69, or do I retire it and send it to the rafters? Slot my ass with my champ Bailey Orange Broncos Reebok jersey from when I was five. man

year five when champ Bailey was wearing that so you're like dude's not in high school right now right is that what he said he's like should I wear it at practice really want to wear it at practice for the jv t my coach

oh bro wear that that's that's hard if my if I had a brother that was he said his brother was in the NFL I would get every jersey customized white home road like alternate dude I'm wearing that

I'm wearing that all the time So he was actually number 69 too Yeah that's what it sounds like Who cares? Yeah You're good dog Green light Yeah if it was your If it was your brother

Then he would have to retire it Instead of the rafters If he if his brother was talking about wearing it Then I think you gotta go ahead You gotta frame it Yeah Now put it up in the man cave With the garage

Yeah yeah you can't wear that If you played right That's what you're saying? Yes. But like if he's a younger brother. Yeah. You wear that all day. Sleep in that.

No pants. It's just a big 69 jersey. Hunter! What's a coffee? I'm wearing that every chance I get. Maybe every day. Also, 49ers and Packers. So two best uniforms ever.

The first NFL game of all time. Dude, 49ers Packers, when they play, I'm like, oh, my God. 49ers Packers. I need a vote or something. This is crazy. Is it Christmas morning? Like when I die, if I go to heaven, hopefully, yeah, like 49ers Packers are playing on Christmas morning. And that's my heaven.

And God is John Madden. No doubt. Dude, when I die and go to heaven, God is John Madden. For sure. Oh, shit. Boom. He's going on a telstrainer all the things in your life. See, I didn't really like that.

Boom. You went this way and you went right way this way. You zing when he should have agned. circles of stops. I'd marry through paintballs at this. He's like, but I forgive you him because you had your friend over and you're 11 years old.

Yes, I don't do Madden. I know. That's a shitty impression. Okay. From Travis. Are Mike Tom and Omar Epps the same person? What's up, guys? Longtime listeners.

Seems like Ben has been playing a lot of NFL Street recently. I know this isn't a video game podcast, but where you're your team NFL Blitz or NFL Street growing up. I played both, but was more of a Blitz fan. My grandma has the original PlayStation at her house, so that's where I would play it. She still has it packed away somewhere, and every time I go, I want to find it, fire it up, pop in Blitz 2000, and relive the memories of throwing deep bombs with Slash Stewart,

praying to God my grandma didn't walk in while the game was loading. And to explain why there are sexy cheerleaders on the screen. They were way too hot. Yeah. Hit me with the German suplex and slap my ass so hard that the Blitz announcer says, no, that was on called for. than for my iPhone. We are underway.

Is that legal? That's the best one. I'm actually team NFL Blitz, even though, NFL Street guy, for sure. I just can't, I can't pick between them, really.

It's a whole draft process on NFL Street, how you just, like they have random, like three running guys so you can pick from one of them's Ricky Williams or what. But yeah,

NFL Blitz is just the whole entire, like, the way you can just hit people after the play is. It's like the holy grail of football games. Yeah. It's so much fun.

Blitz to football video games is... Blitz is to football video games what the Packers Broncos Super Bowl and Qualcomm is to Super Bowls. And I hate people that don't understand that. Exactly. If you don't understand it, you don't get the shit. I'm like, you don't want to play NFL Blitz? Like, what do you mean? You'd rather play Mad than NFL Blitz?

Like, that's never crossed my mind one time. I'm like, this is way more fun. This is it. Two minute quarter. that just like go. It's just a constant, like, fun. The first time your dad saw you, body slam somebody,

suplex somebody after a play on NFL Blitz. He's like, what was going on here? What is this crap? Your dad just becomes Fox. Stationed out of it? First time you see his, first time he sees Blitz.

Stationed out of here. Shatian up. Also, I loved how you could, the spin move. The spin move was great, but you could just lateral across the field like throw it like 100 miles an hour

across the field even after so you hit like a dig route that guy would catch it and then he would like turn and throw it to the other side of the field I was like this is insane I just remember John L.I. being so good oh god the Broncos were annoyingly good

and McCaffrey Torell Davis I was like yeah how are they even allowed to be on this game was Steve Atwater back there Steve out, Waterloo. You're like, no, you're in the Orange Crush era. What are you doing?

From an house game. The Lions were random. Jordan Reeser was just like one of those kids. I was super good at every video game. And he was like, he would be the annoying kind of like he would find a team on, he literally played with the Lions. I wonder who they beat our ass. Charlie Batch.

Charlie Batch, dude. Charlie Bage played for every NFL team. Remember he was on the Colts? What? He wasn't. You had me going there. What? How do I not have his jersey?

From Michael, burpy girls. Boy, a long time listener, I have three daughters. And every time one of them burps, I sing, I love you, burpy girl. And the other girl says, oh, whoa, and unison. Thanks for all the laughs. Sincerely, Mike. Oh, that's awesome, dude. Hey, and based on your email, sign off here, Mike, I'm going to need you to make your way up to Chicago.

Go ahead and grab tickets and go. Jay Collar jersey, please. From Andrew, ankle tape A-Smart. These guys. So not a high school football pod, but was wondering if you had any significant memories about your high school athletic trainers. Yep.

Oh, boy, too. I got a good one. It honestly calls me to go into my freshman year majoring in athletic training due to getting tight with them while rehabbing after my ACL surgery. Something they would always do. They had all of us stop and say, we, was mixing Gatorade flavors in the coolers for halftime.

Wonder what your go-to combo it would be. Mine was hands down cool blue and lemon line. Oh my god. Bin me over the trainers, Gator and snap a training band on my ass. Okay. Yeah, mixing Gatorade. What a mem. They never did it right, but they tried. The, that, the cool blue and lemon line, that's, that just screams to me that it would come out like some electric green. Uh-huh. Swampy green two days. But like the, the, the Gatorade never made it. Like, they're, was just one big jug of Gatorade. We've gone in like four seconds.

Back to the hose. Yeah, right to the water. I'm like, I'm not getting any of that Gatorade. Forget it. It always felt wrong to me though. I think it was always like, I don't deserve Gatorade right now. No. Maybe after.

Like, after both practices, maybe one cup. But like, dude, during the practice, like, who am I? Rich kid? Gator, thick-ass Gatorade during... This is what I drink on Saturday. nights. God dang. Yeah, but the Ridge kid,

when they would bring their own big, fancy water jugs. I just wanted to kick it over. With their name on it and Sharpie. Sharpie, dude. Get out of here. The straw that they would rip up

with their hand and I'm at some trough for pigs and cows, drinking water. Oh, dying, dude. Helmet at my side. So sweaty.

They're over there in the corner in the shade. pussy. Come on, dude. It made us tougher. It did. For all. More character put hair on our chest.

The cold, igloo water. I'm like, come on, dog. Give me the rustiest water you got. So rich kid. It was like,

God, it's so annoying because your mom's about to pick you up in a white escalade. She's going to take you to Burger King and get you

whatever you want. Insane. And I'm going to carpool back with the senior in his shitty truck that doesn't have air conditioning because my parents don't want to have to go back and forth to pick me up.

So true. And he's going to make me dip and I'm going to want to puke again. So enjoy your little igloo, bitch. God, dang. Dude's eating a Burger King big kids meal. He's got the crown on. Jesus,

I don't even have a shirt on. I'm sitting in the truck bed. Fucking hidden speed bumps. Like my, yeah, my life is on the line. Every Smith of Alley Road. Might not make it. slipping discs on the way home.

Just praying that senior kid, senior linebacker doesn't, or senior left guard, doesn't go the route with the train tracks. Oh! Out for season. All you can see when you look back is just stretch marks on his shoulders. You're like, just can't get home quick enough, dude.

Can't get home. Stretch marks and acne on his shoulders. You're like, holy hell. I just want to go home and watch college game day or something. You know, it was just Saturday. practice. You gotta go home the weird way. From Aaron.

Oh shit. We're zooming. We've got so many that we're zooming through, but trainer, athletic trainers. Got any? Oh, yeah, I got one memory. Well, first of all, when they spat you up, you got spatted, right? Not over the, just, no, I got my ankles taped, but I didn't get the sped. They, like, outlawed spats by the time that we got there.

Good. good for them. But actually, I'm talking about that anyway. The one that goes underneath and they do that figure eight around like the heel, your heel and the tongue and no better feeling. But also, I don't know why, but we were getting our wrist taped a lot. I don't know why that was it. Was it?

I don't even think. I actually think it hurt my performance. I was like, I can't bend my wrist. I know. It's all right. It was 100% aesthetic. Everybody, like all the cool dudes were doing it that were making plays. So I was like, I mean, I better do it too.

I don't know. But every time we did that, we had to like put our like hand. No, no, no. You're the athletic trainer. You got the tape. We had to put our hand right here on our fat athletic trainer's stomach to stabilize it. So we'd just be touching his gut. Well, it was like wobbling around and he'd be taping our wrist and we'd switch.

I just touch our athletic trainer's stomach. But he was every Friday. Our athlete, he was very, very stern about it. He'd be like, come on. Press in. It was so weird. I was like right there. That's all right.

Don't be shy. Press it. It was so weird right on his gut. He had always had his sleeves rolled up for some reason. Oh, yeah. Forgot about the sleeves rolled up. I was like, you're the only guy that's a hard ass but also cares about his shoulder tan. I'm like, this doesn't make any sense.

That dude. I just remember getting screamed out by him for absolutely no reason every day. I was like, I have no idea what I did or said. I'm so sorry. High school athletic trainers, it's kind of just like, how do you have this job? because I feel worse walking out of here than I did when I walked in here. Feels like it should be the opposite. Nobody knows what they're doing.

But my memory of that guy is, it was like, so our athletic trainer also doubled as the outside linebackers coach. Who doesn't? And so we were lifting and doing conditioning and our weight room during the summer and the year prior was like one of the worst years in program history and while we're like doing our lift circuits and everything the trainer is on the elliptical and so he's you know a little bit higher than everybody else on the elliptical and the entire time he's just yelling three and seven that's what this gets you three and seven what are you going to do about it that's great yowling three

and seven because the year before they went three and seven that would get me going dude That would get me going. I was a freshman. I was like, here in the headlights. Oh, man. Three and seven. Was that when I was a senior?

It was going into your senior year. Yeah. Oh, my God. Because you're your junior year. Yeah. I thought we were going to be so good when I was a junior time. Not a reminiscent podcast. I was like, we're going to state.

And I'm a locker room and everything. Like they were like the seniors could decorate it or maybe the cheer leaders did. I don't really know. But I remember there was. Yeah, literally somebody painted three and six. question mark. Oh my God. That's hardcore.

So you can like see it every day? Oh my God. Not a reminisous. Three seven. I didn't know they were that bad. Yes, I did. I think about it every day. I didn't know we were that.

I don't think I played a lot of that here, honestly. Was it the year you're suspended? Yeah. I was suspended for half the year. Stupid. I was like banned from sports at here I was like goddamn guys just because I threw some paint balls

at a stop sign I was just trying to have fun with my friends man they were gonna leave yeah I just felt weird at the I didn't want an awkward sleepover that's the bottom line hey if I was like the dean

and some kids that had to me I'd be like I get it I can't let you walk Scott free here but I get it we'll bring it back for FC from from Aaron Oh, can't make you trick or treating because daddy's on air

Top 5 candy Fellas I wondered if a non-sports and non-high school Memories podcast would be okay talking about those for a second Since you both played sports in high school I was wondering if you guys had any memorable national anthems Before one of your games Good or bad

I played high school basketball in Indiana I remember playing a small school up north Who brought out a chubby 10-year-old kid with a mullet To play the anthem before our game on an electric guitar And the place went wild I also remember playing an inner city school Who didn't have anyone to sing or play the anthem So the YouTube to Beyonce performance of it

And it buffered like three times As me and my teammates Try not to laugh in front of our coach So we wouldn't have to run the next day Keep killing it Slam ass with 37 jelly donuts Throwing as hard as you can from God

Like range Except from a T-Mobile sidekick You guys with the phones Dude, it's insane I wanted the sidekick so bad Cool name Was there a Kickstarter? That's the

Yeah That right there Who always had it Young Jock always had it in music videos I was like oh my God I want that phone Dad can we switch to T-Mobile so I can get the sidekick He had no idea what I was talking about Sidekick just reminds me of Evan Whitekeke

Who's that He was a year older than me I don't know did he have that phone Yeah he always had crazy phones like that God how Oh my God, dude, I remember that kid. Yeah. Kind of like Bieber-esque hair.

Played basketball. Right. How did it? What happened? Did he finish her on college? No. Those kids that had the cool phones, I'm like, what's your story? How'd you get that?

Right. There's no way. National Anthems. God. Oh, just every JV game ever. You're lined up on the goal line with your team. and the cheerleaders and the coaches for some reason. Just sun beating on your face.

So much other things you need to do. You're starving. Science, homework due tomorrow. Everything's due tomorrow. You still can't breathe. You're like about to puke because your pregame warm up was so intense. Harder than the game. You're looking at the team across the room and you're like,

oh my God, we're going to get beat down, dude. This isn't going to be good. Actually, sometimes our J. V teams were good. But, uh, and then the, the press box just, like,

plays the instrumental. Yep. So, but it's just coming out of like a bullhorn that's attached to the press box. And it, you know what I mean? There's no speaker system.

And yeah, it would be the, or no, or what it is, is you're, you're, the, the,

uh, the, uh, PA guy would hold the mic up to the speaker of what it was coming out to. But then blast it out. And then it would start with the, the, the snare drum.

You're like, are we doing this? Cheerleaders. So proper. No cheerleaders ever been so like into it. I'm like, guys, I know this is your time to shine, but it's not that big of a deal. Funny, annoying kid that always hung out with the girls

that you just didn't like because he's like the guy always has a line. You know, he would be up in the stands for some reason and would he would be like start singing. the national anthem. I'm like, oh my God. He'd be like saluting.

Why are you here? Like saluting, sing the national anthem. I'm like, dude, go to soccer practice. It was the worst. It lasted two and a half hours. I'm like,

at the end of the national anthem, I'm like, I don't even want to play anymore, dude. Can we call it? Hey, it's a wash. I got to get home

and do like four things and laundry and my mom's mad at me. So let's go. Let's get out of here. Nobody gets hurt. Zero, zero. We're good. Sing the fight song.

Let's get out. Did you ever... Were you ever a captain sent up to do the coin toss? Yeah. Like on a... Like varsity? I just remember being so nervous that I was going to mess it up. Oh, I had no idea what was going on for the coin toss every single time.

If we win, defer, they kick to the sin and then I'm like, uh... I'm like, I don't know the other option. Yeah. Like, what if we don't get... What if we lose? Then what? you come with us? Yeah, yeah.

What is this litmus test that you're having us do here? Defer. I'm like, what does that word even mean? I'm like, can you spell that before I got there and make a fool out of myself? Let me shake Zach Martin's hand and then stutter on the word, is it deffer? I'm like, fuck. No idea what's happening here. Hopefully, thank God, one of the other captains just like took the speaking role.

That wasn't, that was not your role. No, I was like, I'm just here. for aesthetic. I'm here to just like say what's up. Yeah. And then hopefully we hopefully we get it right. You were there because he looked the part.

And then Kevin Bonnage could take care of the rest. Exactly. You turn around and be like, we got the ball. I'm like, yeah, we got the ball. We got the ball. I knew we got the ball. Hey, receiving. We're receiving.

Let's go out there, guys. From Michael. Natron means business. Come on. fellas love the shot. No questions for me. Rather a visual that popped into my head while listening this week.

While Joe was telling the story about slipping the way in guy at Hyundai so his kid would make weight. All I could think about was some admin on a computer listening to all this go down. Once the deal was sealed with the admin slowly swiveling in his chair to reveal that he is in fact

the stationer about this guy and then dropping the gold line stationer about this. Then doing a benny maniacal laugh while swiveling back to the computer and sending an email to the station that you just bribed the way in guy. Could you guys please rehash that story for the new clubhouse members?

It's easily the funniest shit have ever heard because we all know station now, guy in our lives. Send from my iPad. Damn, yeah, now I'm going to be afraid to do that because I'm going to think Fox is just waiting. Waiting in the in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, meat. What was a phrase I'm looking for?

Waiting in the. I'm all out of phrases today. I missed on like four of them. Yeah. Waiting in the weeds. Weeds. God. I just made that up.

No, me nailed it. I knew it was. Okay. Wee. New clubhouse member, station at this. Me and Ben were, me and Ben were working at the old radio station

that we used to like 10 years ago at this point. And we, that was our home base. That was because, like, Ben had his apartment. I didn't, I was still living at home. Like,

the station that we worked at, we were just, we were just able to, like going there at all hours because we had key cards. That was a flex, dude. Yeah, we just go in there and like me brainstorm and do our ideas. And so one year we came out with the idea to do the 317 combine around the NFL combine, but it was just like us being football coaches out in public and like getting people to do football shit.

And so we are changing into our football coach outfits. Moustaches, hats, like really just like. whistles, rings on the fingers. We're changing into that in one of the studios. And this guy that we used to work with was just like the most all-star radio employee ever. Dude, you nailed it one time. You told me. I was like, what is up with this guy?

Because I didn't like know it yet. Like you worked there a couple. I don't know, a little more than me. So I was like, I don't know. You go, dude, this guy's like super by the book. That's exactly what you said. I was like, oh, shit. The most buy the book guy you've ever been around.

And so the role that we had when we were working there at the time is like basically me and Ben and this guy were just board ops. So what that means is they have like Sunday night baseball on the radio, right? And so you have to go and sit behind the radio board and like make sure the station stays on air essentially. Like the commercials get played. The broadcast is up there. So there's no dead error.

That's essentially what we were. And so me and Ben were just in the studio. We had gotten all our shit on everything. And this dude, he notoriously showed up like an hour and 20 minutes early to his shit. Crazy. Like we would have to be there at 630 for pregame to start and like have everything ready to go. He would show up at like 515. It was insane.

With food. With food. Yeah. Right. And so we didn't even realize that this dude. we were in the studio that there's going to be broadcasting whatever and this dude is going to come in here and so we're all decked out in our shit

then he walks in and he looks at us and we're like what's up and he doesn't really say anything and he like goes and he puts his food down and you tell he's really thrown you know really he's kind of freaking him out what's going on yeah and expected nobody being right just all to himself just going to have a ball

just listening to the game playing commercials like can't wait to do it but me and Joey are in there just like getting ready to It's just like, we're Burns and Rocko. Like, yeah. That's the birth of Burns and Rocco,

the coaches. And, uh, so like, he, dude, I kind of, he didn't really say anything,

but we felt the need to explain to him what was going on. Yeah, you were like, hey, we're just setting our stuff in here because you were like, you didn't want an alarm on me either. Because it was like his turn to be in there. And we're just kind of like using the space.

Yeah. Hey, we're just putting our stuff here. We'll be back like, like, I don't know, an hour and a half. We'll grab it and just get out of here.

real people get out of your hair and he just looked at you and he kind of took a B for a second just goes yeah station know about this because he's

so by the book that he wanted to make sure he started to get kind of hot and I was like I gotta leave dude because after he said that and I knew what was going on I was like I'm gonna go get a drink

and I walked out and I knew I was gonna die and I handled it because like again like you said he's soaked by the book that everybody else just be like

oh yeah whatever man like I'm just going to be watching Netflix or whatever but his brain he wanted to make sure that the bosses to be knew that we got approved and so I knew that he was thinking that and so I was just like yeah I already talked to Rake knew Rake would vouch for us

so there you go and so now from now on me and Ben the birth of anything happens station now about that? Raiders Nation know about that and there it is so youth of the nation know about that For the Globhouse who's been around for two and a half years, you got to rehash it for the new.

Never gets old, bro. What a moment in my life that seems so insignificant. I know. Do you remember? Never mind. I probably shouldn't say this. Remember I like, like, I like had to go up there and do something and like reset something. And he was in there like freaking out and I took a video of him.

And I sent it to like 3.15. am on like a Tuesday and you just woke up you're like what so there is a video on my phone of this because there'd be so many times that like you could just hey you know okay commercial didn't play or whatever you just cross it out yeah report it on the log

but this guy would be having a manic breakdown he'd be like calling the boss at like 2 a.m. He was asking me shit about like a PSA that didn't play you know he'd be like I don't know man I think they were a little late getting off I just got to be,

we gotta get it back on schedule. Dude, it's a national radio. Who gives a fuck? All right. From Joe. Nice. This is from Joe,

and it says Joe Montana or is Joey Harrington. These guys, first off, love the show. A couple weeks ago, you got to a Joe versus Joey debate,

and I feel like I have to chime in. See, my name is Joseph, and while that's the official IRS approved version, I've always gone by Joe. Only my aunt and my mom's friends still call me Joey.

Usually in the same tone, you'd use when scolding a kid for tracking him out to the kitchen. Now here's what gets interesting. My father-in-law is Joe. His dad was also Joe. My brother-in-law and nephew both proudly wave the Joey banner. So naturally, the debate comes up which is the superior form? Let's look at the sports world for proof.

The Joe's, Montana, Namath, Burrow, DiMaggio, Morgan, Dumars, even spoken Joe Frazier. The joys, Bosa, Galloway, Harrington, Porter, Vado, Gallo, Gallo. Lugano. Of course, the undisputed eating champion, chestnut. These guys bring fire, flare, and apparently a ton of hot dogs. Both teams are stacked, but I would take the Joe's all day. At the end of the day, here's the breakdown. Joseph is the most formal.

You have to respect it. Joe's approachable, solid, dependable, the guy you won your team in the fourth quarter. Joey, that's the fun. Joey's always got a good story. An extra hot dog at the cookout and maybe a questionable tattoo. Easy. Bottom line, whether it's Joseph Joe or Joey, the name is undefeated, and really, who doesn't like one?

Slop my ass with a sketcher, arch fit, flung by Joe Montana while he's rocking his 19 Chiefs home jersey I still have that one signed a proud Joseph but you can call me Joe What a breakdown man Put his whole ass into that email I appreciate it

Dude the Joey I like I have way I like the Joey's list So much more than everybody else Yeah I appreciate that I mean you can't you're right you can't get around Like it's just a strong ass name Joe Joseph Joey Joey Galloway Yeah I got yeah

And also, underrated guy on TV. Joey Galloway, yeah. Really good on college football TV. Like I, every more, every Sunday morning, my favorite thing to do, shout out Matt Barry. Shout out Joey Galloway. College football final. He knows, too. He knows he's underrated.

You can tell like in his voice. They do such a great job on Sunday. I know it's a replay, but like it's 7.30. And I truly, college football is the one that like, because with Red Zone in the NFL and just all the shit that is fully consumed with Sunday. You're good. You've seen everything. But college football, there's so many games and there's no red zone. And usually on Saturdays, you got a birthday party. You got the pumpkin patch. You got something going on. So I need. This is my biggest hangup of all time where you're about to say. I need college football final on Sunday morning. It's a huge part of

Saturday night. Yeah. Saturday night, like, it's like, it's like midnight and then Sunday right before everything. I still feel weird watching on Sundays. Like, am I allowed to watch college football final. It's not as good, but it's like a better precursor than like the first hour of the seven hour NFL network pregame show. I'm like, okay. I don't. All right. You know, I don't need you hear about talking about Shador Sanders again today. At 7.30. That's crazy. I'm going to go watch Matt Barry and Joey Galloway break it down. You know, about. He's smooth. They're good. Anyways, yeah, really good lists there. Can't go wrong with the Joseph Joe Joey breakdown. I mean, when you were talking about the Joey there

I read it like my Ray Leota Goodfellow's voice that's the fun one Joey's always got a good story an extra hot dog at the cookout That's what Harrington Joey Porter Joey Porter man God dang can you imagine if he would have gone by Joe

Ew wouldn't like Joe Porter So Steelers defense Joey Porter First guy I think of Joey Porter is pulled up jersey kick Beat your ass Steelers lineback heard Joe Porter is

I don't even know bro The history teacher for junior year That double as a linebacker's coach Joey Porter The most linebacker head of all time It's filling up to frame with his whole head Where are you going to college? I don't know

I don't know Joey Porter went to college dude This isn't good I think about Joey Porter every day And I don't know where he went to college Joey Porter. You better get one. Give me a guess.

Why don't I want to say Auburn? Oh, this is crazy. Why don't want to say like Furman? Colorado State. Oh. Never would have said that. The gold ramps. Joey Porter is just the Under Armour Linebacker in all those commercials.

Yeah. Was he? Was that him? Joey Porter, the Dick Sporting Goods Manikin? The Under Armour Manik. every day. Dude, I should have bow down and worship that guy. That's what's so funny is that his son, also a Steeler.

Yeah. Long, lanky corner. How does that make sense? It's so weird. Yeah. I mean, they look so much alike, like face-wise and everything, but their body type just totally different. Joey Border. From Frankie.

Frankie. Frankie. Stay sure you about the Michael Myers Popcorn, bucket. These guys second time, a long time. Wasn't sure if you had seen the Michael Myers popcorn bucket

that Cinnemark is putting out for spooky season. Pick is attached. Even though Halloween is over, I wondered what your Mount Rushmore of Halloween or horror characters were. Or you'd do a horror series instead of just characters.

Slat my ass with ghost face mask while he trips over every piece of furniture while chasing me while I whistle the Halloween theme song. Frankie and Raleigh, North Carolina. There's the... Yeah, I need that bucket. Oh, that's a...

Ooh. You're gonna make... It's gonna make it all blurry. All right. Okay. Frankie said, forgot to clue my own villains. Michael Myers,

Jason, ghostface, Freddy Kruger. Series, Halloween, Scream, Saul, Texas chainsaw massacre.

Do you want to go? I can go. Mount Rushmore. Uh, let's make one together, dude. I don't really know. I only know,

like, the top guys. I don't really know a lot of horror movie stuff. Yeah, me either. Yeah, I mean, Michael Myers, obviously. He's got to be on there. And Halloween.

He's got to be on there. Michael Myers and Halloween are easily a top five, sometimes top three character slash franchise for me. So that's easily one for both of those. Ghostface, yep. And scream too. Those are great. I mean, those are great slasher Halloween. Yeah.

Okay, so there's two. I don't know, man. For me, it's kind of soft. I knew you were going to say that. That's fine. Just because he might not be on there though, but I just watched those. I don't know why I started watching those movies so much. I think it was a Friday Night Friend thing.

When I first watched those, kind of Chuckie for me too. Really? I was really scared of Chuck you when I was a kid because in Blockbuster, you know, the horror movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My sister had chased me around with the Chuckie, like VHS. And it used to kill me, dude. I was so scared of dolls. Yeah, so that one really got me.

I don't know if they're on the thing, but maybe like honorable mention. So I'm Chucky for me. Who else is left? Of villains, of Halloween villains? A big one right now, like my sister,

she's 23. She loves this dude. The Terrorizer, oh yeah. I've seen that. I haven't watched any of those movies, but I see him on TikTok. It's crazy.

But I think he's kind of funny. Yeah, there's a little bit of that to it. And he looks like likeable for some reason. you know like he looks like all right this guy doesn't seem so bad he looks like you know the scary movies they're like a little

funnier look yeah he looks like a villain that would be in that kind of like how ghost face in the original scary movie yeah he's like getting high he's like he can his feet up and it's funny but then he'd kill him that's kind of terrorizer I like it I think

dude uh penny wise I'll probably put Pennywise in there for me yeah Kind of a legend. I don't really rock with him that much, but I get it. I respect them still. I get, Judgey. It's pretty, pretty good.

I'd say series, like, obviously Halloween, scream. If you could put Stranger Things season one and two. Oh, wow. Season three gets into summer. Season four is just like all over the place. I don't even know. But season one and two are heavy Halloween. Mm-hmm.

definitely can be included at this time of the year. How come I know there's somebody we're missing. You could do honestly, you could do like the monster series that's on Netflix. They're kind of with a new one every year. Like the Ed Gain I'm watching right now. They've had the Menendez brothers. Their first one was Dahmer.

So it's like an interchanging real life monster, but the series itself. Yeah, I can't think. I know there's somebody. I'm just like, I'm just trying to think about all the movie. I feel like you had to go. I just looked up to my left here and saw that,

but like Dark Night, Joker. Oh, God. Heath Ledger's Joker took over Halloween immediately. Still is. That's what I'm saying. Dude, people have, so many people I know have Joker tattoos. Like almost everybody has a Joker tattoo. Surprise, I don't have one.

Yeah. That Michael Myers. Oh, if I believed in hand. Not that if I believe, I guess I do have one. But like, if I was okay with myself having more hand tattoos. That would be that. Yeah. I think we kind of cool.

Maybe I will. I don't know. Mom's pissed right now. Listen to that. No. No my tete's. Okay. No my tetees.

Let's do from Mason. High school fat stats. Yeah. Hey, fellas. A couple pods ago when you were talking about those post-JV game fast food joint hangouts, got me thinking. What were your guys as fat stats? orders back in high school when you could crush

4,500 calories off the dollar menu with nothing but honest Abe in your pocket. Mine, McDonald's, two double cheeseburgers, add Big Mac sauce. Ooh, two McChicons and a water cup that may or may not have Sprite in it for $4.28 cents.

Sent from my Ti 83 that the weed kid somehow hacked to have games on it. To play Tetris. TI.83. Why are they $150 still? Also, yeah, the kid who had the igloo water bottle

also had the TI.83. The fresh one. Didn't even care. It was like clear purple and you could see the insides of it. Like all the gears. That's an order right there, Mason. You're from our time.

Speaking of our language. Putting like big mac sauce on a double cheeseburger because it just is a big Mac after that. Like it's such a hack. Never did a bit. I never did him a gang bang. I didn't either. I was all talk when I came to that.

Yeah, let's go get them. Then I'd get there and be like, I don't even want to. I think I need to try that because I just never did it. But I think like this is going to, this is really going to sound gross. But it freaked me out. I didn't want to like remove all that shit because I'm like,

I don't want to see what I'm eating in there. Yeah. I can definitely ruin it. I don't want to have to assemble this, dude. Dude, but if you're like hungry and probably. Probably Stone. You can't wait to do that. Mine was pretty similar at McDonald's.

It wouldn't be two double cheeseburgers and two McChiggins. It would be a double cheeseburger, a McChicken, a 10-piece nugget meal, a large fry, and a large sodie. Mm-hmm. I was always gone. Two McChicken. Just ketchup on there. playing and shake on ketchup two double cheeseburgs

and I'd get a vanilla shake and just be like all right What about do you guys ever do steak and shake Sometimes we'd wild out With steak and shake Yeah Only when I had a gift card really Steak and Shake was kind of expensive

Yeah But we really popped off before like After Friday varsity games Before Saturday morning film session We'd like Breakfast Yeah Like we have I don't know what was going on

But we'd like have a Friday Like workout thing after our game we'd like work out for some reason at like 8 a.m. Yep. Saturday morning. And then film would start at like noon. So from 9 a.m. after we were done working out until noon,

we just like all hopped in somebody's car. We got like, we went to Long's donuts, just got like so, like an unbelievable amount of donuts for like, what, $8? Which is still crazy to me that donuts are like 10 cents each. I'm like, what year is it?

And then we'd go to Chick-fil-A. Chicken, chicken mini. Wow. Yeah, it was like new Chick-fil-A. It was like, I don't know, we didn't have one until like... Yeah. I don't know. Like, kind of like...

All my friends would be too scared away. We can barely do steak and shake. They're like, steak-and-shake's too expensive, man. Chick-fil-A, hell no. I was like, I mean... Be bawling out for some reason on Saturday mornings just because we were like, after a wind, too, we'd be grabbed all the food. You go to McDonald's.

Make all the rounds in that area. A little Southport area. Then we go back. It just, it was insane. We'd get like Apple, like, mini apple pies from like Long's bakery. Like who's buying that for real?

We just have every single thing there. The Gator Tales. Just a weird. Yeah. Like what a treat. Those are insane. Those I can talk about enough. They're like $7. God dang. It sounds so good. I'm so hungry. Going date night tonight. Can't wait.

I've been fast. I've been Politi before his eighth grade way in today. Nice. Had a smoothie and two scrambled eggs for breakfast. What do you better get? You got a Prime 47. Prime 47! Before Sandman.

Nice. Oh, so this is like really your birthday tonight. Yeah. A lay birthday? That's perfect. Cubs play at nine. That's the best part.

That's the only part you care about. Hey, I'm good on Sandler. Can we just stay at Prime 47 to watch the game? The schedule hasn't been great. because we already had made plans to go up for our first game on Saturday at Purdue. Game one was on Saturday at 2.08. If the Red Sox would have won, it would have been at 8.

Great. We would have been back. Yeah. So it's at 2. Missed all that. Didn't miss much. Got our ass beat. Honestly better than I didn't have to see it.

Yeah. But then tonight, Sandler's been in play. They play. Instead of playing on Sunday, they play Monday at 9. So show starts at 730. First pitch at 908. First pitch. We'll probably, you know.

I don't know how long Samman's going to go, but I'm thinking that maybe about like the fifth inning or so will be out of there. Perfect night. Yeah, I'm looking forward to going to have a great night, but Cubs lose kind of all goes to shit. I mean,

you're still going to be watching. You're still going to have some like leftover fat stats at the end of the night watching the Cubs. Yeah, for sure. Might be another DoorDash. That's what I'm saying, dude. Start thinking, bro.

All right, let's wrap up here with John. Thanksgiving already over. What's going on, Benny and Joey first time email or a long time listener. Welcome, John. Thank you. I'm a teacher in central Illinois, and I thought I'd let you know that the clubhouse language is alive and well with the youths of America.

Just today I asked they should know about it's half day today. They're already hooked on the okay. No way. And that goalhead and goal. I'm thinking of dropping cohorts and hunting on I'm next. Get them up. You have suggestions. Let me know.

Yeah, hunting might be, it may be tough. But they'll still rock with it. My question for you is, what do you think is? the best middle of the field logo on a football field. This is a great question. I'm a fan of having the team's helmet as the design, kind of like when the Giants and the Browns have. All right, I'm going to go ahead and go on out of here now.

Thanks for the amazing podcast, and I'll keep the clubhouse growing. John, sit for my iPhone while sipping on some apple cider on my back porch while I watched the leaves fall off the trees, knowing that I'll have to rake them up and burn them before the city puts out a burn order. What a guy, dude. I got to meet this, dude. with the youngens.

That's cool, man. Thanks, John. Middle of field logos. Something I never stopped thinking about. I don't like the helmet because the helmet's always outdated looking. But now I'm like, is that cold that it's outdated? Well, that's the thing is if they came with a modernized version, it'd be, ugh.

It'd be gross. It's like when you see a modern helmet on a hat, fucking kill me. Dude, modern helmets on players. I'm like, there's like two good helmets. I don't know why anybody's getting the other ones. It's not that hard. Dude, Aaron Rogers' helmet. I'm like, I'm going to kill myself.

He looks like a fake football player. That's like a movie football player. Yeah. Guy on a set. The best half time or midfield logo of all time. You know what it is. LSU. Oh, yeah.

God dang, that's up there. But I think even better than that is that Jaguar's Christmas. Jacksville Jaguars old logo, Prouler logo with a Santa hat on in the middle of the field. That's just a treat. And I think they're playing the Steelers. No. no no

you're playing the saints it was like crazy ass game no it was the uh david gerard i think against the texans he threw the hail mary jaguards texans got batted down right into the dude's arms and he just like that was that

game i'm pretty sure but then also they played the same might have been against the saints as well where they played the saints and uh the saints when they had one of those crazy lateral plays to tie it up and they missed them i t i feel so bad Jerome Pathan, love you, bro.

I'll think about you. I think about you every night. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure Gus Johnson was on the call of that. Of course. In my mind, it was the game where the Jacksonville Jaguar caught the kickoff, like, the mascot, caught the kickoff against the Steelers,

and the next play Cordell Stewart ran at like 82 yards. Oh, no, that's the, that was the Panthers. Oh. Yeah. Panthers, December 23rd. My big cats mixed up. Yeah. LSU's Tiger Eye is pretty tough. to be. I can't whoever like made that the feature logo is amazing. Yeah. The tie the eye of the tiger and it like

fades out into the grass right and both their end zones one's purple one's yellow. I'm like they know their field guy knows what they're doing. They have every five yards instead of every 10 yards LSU has one of the best fonts in college football too. Um, Jaguar, Santa Hat, LSU midfield. I think I'm saying we didn't start the fire right now. Jack Boyer Santa Hat LSUI Tiger Midfield Joe I don't like it when they're so small

I'm like we need to make midfield logos go from 40 to 40 Like make them huge The Cincinnati Bengals back in like 2005 When they had the full Bengal tiger going God dang whatever takes up space Like you know

horizontally Yeah the Panthers All the tiger stuff is good. They got a real leg up there. I mean, the Cowboys star, like if you can have the star, do they have in the middle of the field, though? It's too small. I know.

Make it huge. I don't know why it's so small. There's one unique one that I can't think of right now. My kids freaking out upstairs. Just all day. It's always a bummer when teams, I know it's usually like, like I know it's usually like the Giants at MetLife you know because they have the

AFC and NFC but they just have the NFL logo in there it always kind of sucks East Carolina oh my God that's it with the skull yeah they've got the East Carolina has a state that's like wide yeah and then they change their primary logo to the pirate that's the skull yeah yeah that's so sick

that's pretty nice Uh Yeah That's That's could be not be bad Because it could take up a lot of room Mm-hmm They don't

It's tiny though On the field It's probably like some weird NFL mandate now Everything's got to be boring And corporate and suck Did I think like Maryland Was kind of sick or something

Or maybe that was their end zones Maryland's probably just the flag In the end zones Maryland's so obsessed with their flag Yeah But like I get it This actually needs some work the National Championship logo.

It's just nothing. It is just two parentheses together. Two golden parentheses. Sick. Bring back the crystal ball. Please God. Make the push for it. Bring it back.

Yeah, if you have other midfield logos that you're thinking about, put them in the comments. Because I don't know, for some reason, I know there's some are missing. Yeah. All right. That's about good. These guys. He's guys.
