after Allstar weekend why are you sick All-Star And Valentine's weekend. You're sick. You're sick because football's over. Throwing up all night.

First weekend, no football. Honey, what's wrong? Just in the bathroom playing NFL prime time song because I yak everywhere. On the toilet like this. Were you on the floor in the bathroom? Oh, yeah, dog. Yeah.

First off, let's let's, let's, Let's get into this real quick before I get it. Get into this before we transition shift gears over to that. Neither here nor there. I've been told by some professionals in the biz that we need to say our names at the beginning of the podcast for new listeners and people who are like testing it out. So I'm Joey, Joey Molyneiro. Follow me at Joey Mullinerer everywhere online. That's Benny.

Hey, Benny, Benedict Polizzi, everywhere, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn. LinkedIn. Oh, LinkedIn. Been on LinkedIn here recently. Mendoza's been inspiring me a little bit. Really? Just a few posties, you know. I just feel so weird every time.

LinkedIn's got to be the horniest place I've ever been in my life. I'm like, there's no way anybody's talking about work on here. But doesn't it tell people when you go to their page? I don't like that feeling. If you have LinkedIn Plus or premium or whatever. Because they always get my ass with that. They say, here's Sue's viewed your profile.

And I'm like, oh, could it be somebody from like Saturday night, and then I look and it's all blurred out. It's just Peterman heating and cooling. And you're like, damn. How'd they know? Hope plumbing. Hey, not a local podcast, but come on board. Hope, what's up?

I hope you join. This guy. That's what it's all about right there. That's what it's all about right there. You don't know about our podcast? No, you do. Hey, our real name's Johnson and Schmitty. Oh, Jesus.

This is these guys, these guys L-O-L and Instagram, these guys L-O-L on YouTube, watch us every week there, follow the show, and get more into that. Clubhouse knows. And if you're new and you're joining in, then you're part of the Clubhouse. And there's plenty of members out there thinking about doing some sort of, like, letter jacket or something that everybody can get and have as a member, you know, members only type shit.

Mm-hmm. It would be pretty sick. We can get merged too, right? Benedictmerch.com. There's these guys merch out there. Benedictmerge.com, get everything, not bad for a fat guy, hat, clubhouse hoodies. We got it all over there.

Code bald, B-A-L-D, all caps for 50% off. Haven't done the merch pitch in a minute. Whoops. That's 5-0 on B-Bitch. Which is actually crazy. 50% off of everything. Yeah. Why not?

I don't know. Fish-you. All right. So that's us. And thanks to Clubhouse who's been here. We had to start doing that a little bit, you know, because we're growing the ship. But yeah, I, that wasn't a line. I wasn't lying.

I, I, from, so here's how it went down. Had my daughter's second birthday party yesterday. Right. Right. So, theme. Ballerina. Nice. Had the two twos out.

One too many spins, huh? Had the streamer things, right? It was great. But there was just. so, you know, full-sized cake. We had cookies, Chick-fil-A, nugget tray. Let's go.

Now we're partying. Add a couple beers. I had a couple beers, right? What kind of? What kind of beers? Yeah. Make ultra. Yeah.

Okay. Just trying to set the scene in my head. 95 cows. 95 cows. Yeah, so the fat stats were going down on, uh, fat stats were going down on, on, on, on Sunday for sure. Daytona 500 was going, you know, like,

had an in-laws over, family, everything, got a couple of my friends' kids. Like, that's always weird. You're like, what the hell is going on here? It was. It was a great time. But then later that night, me and right, that was like us, we celebrated Valentine's on Sunday night because Saturday Purdue played. There's too much shit going on.

It's the Sunday night. We did the thing. And while we did this, dude, we did this. For the clubhouse out there, highly recommend she ordered a one of those like mystery cases where you can solve a mystery together. It's like a whole kit. A packet. Stretch that out.

Stretch it out. There we go. I'm trying. I just saw it. I'm sorry. Go ahead. A whole packet where you can, they give you like all this crime scene stuff and you have to try to solve it.

It was super fun. But while that's going on, you know, I got a little red wine going on on Valentine's night. Got shrimp cocktail. Woo! We got some bone marrow going. You know,

we got a little bit of stuff that we get out some sour gummy worms as a little treat, you know? So I'm really. Okay. Turn up. Turn up. The very berry, very berry sour gummies, you know. Little Valentine's flavor. So it's great night.

Everything's good. And all of a sudden, about 2 a.m., we're both just awoken to our son in between us. Oh, no. She's like, Joe, he's puking. I sit up immediately. As I sit up, Frank, he's just on his knees in the bed. I just see like the exorcists just all over the bed, dude.

So I'm like, oh, man. All right. So she's like, take her to the bathroom. So I got him. I take him to the bathroom. He's got puke all over his face and his hands. So now the pukes on me. Mm-hmm.

And we get into the bathroom and I can just smell it, man. And you know, everybody knows that pukes smell. And when it's not the one that you're not the one who did it or caused the scene, it went straight to me. And I was like, oh, God. What does smell like? Like something lit on fire. Like rotten.

cheese that's been out in the sun. God. All right. That's what we're working with. Okay. So, like, he does that. And he's so funny, dude, when a little kid pukes. Obviously, we have the disaster of Disney 25 that Clubhouse is well aware of where Frank was

puking all over Hollywood studios without his shirt on. So you'll take this over that because you're in your house. You got it controlled, you know. And he didn't puke after that. He was all good. but it's all over the bed and we have to shift to go downstairs or sleeping downstairs

and then I'm just like all of a sudden it creeps on me and I don't know if it's just because the puke from him got to my system second hand puke bro friendly fire puke

from like 3 a.m. until probably about an hour and a half before we started recording just come to puke city puke city I was You know what?

I was Pukinakua I love it, dude That's what it's all about right there It is stay in the Dude, you're just Schmitty forever I was Puka Nakuwa God

God, that needs to go on our next one after having too many Holy shit, write that one down but yeah it's safe to say that been feeling better but also was feeling a lot worse

not too long ago, but, you know, hey, I told the wife, she was like, whoa, I thought there's no chance you were getting out of bed. I was like, got to get out there for the clubhouse, man. Clubhouse, clubhouse wants it on Tuesday. If I puke on the show, like Ben said, better thumbnail. Who cares? Daddy's home.

Puking the corners of his mouth. Ding dong. Let's start to show. When you puke as an adult, too, it's like, it's not the end of the world, dude. And also lost a couple cows. I don't feel too bad. I don't feel too bad about that slice of cake and the milkshake machine that we had and the chick full of fuck, it's gone. It's out.

Never happened actually. What? Yeah. Whatever. Oh, shit. What else was I about to say? Oh, there's a, I got to, I got to, I don't know if I've ever told you this. Quick origin.

Not even an origin, but it's just like a story. from back in the day that I think you guys are going to kick out of on the topic of puke. Talk about it all day. It was the year before the year before like the Sabin and everything really hit for me and you know kind of helps my career go.

And so at the time me and Ben were both at the station and I was hosting. I got the chance to I pitched Oh, wow, Robert Duval died. That's sad. My dad just texted me. Dude, half my text from my dad is somebody dead.

I'm like, Hey, you see this B? God, dang it, man. I got to know who that is, coach. It's like a hometown guy, too. My brother-in-law, I'm like, dude. Showings on Thursday, B, you can make it. And you get some soup and salad after.

Kind of fire. Hey, bread bowl. might be there. Deal breakers. Bread bowl or nah? That's the only thing you hit back with, Bread Bowl or nah? So anyways,

I was at this point where I was like getting some time on air. Me and Ben both kind of where, but it wasn't anything too serious. It was like on the weekends, I could pitch to do like an hour long college football show. Nice. They gave it to me, right?

They let me have it. But it was from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. every Saturday to really kind of be the first to, jumpstart the college football weekend, you know, if you're out and about or if you're, you're running errands and you beat game day. So 7 to 8 a.m. And I hosted it with a girl who is now on ACC network at ESPN, Taylor Tanenbaum. Cohort?

Oh, okay. My former cohort, Taylor Tendenbaum. She, and she's now, so she was at Channel 13. in indie, not a local podcast, but she was on TV with, hey, race fans, Dave Collabro. She was on with him. Bro. So fine. Not a local podcast, but that's what.

And so I hit her up. I was like, hey, like, look at her a co-host. Like, I know you're in a college football. I think this could be a good little tandem. She's like, yeah, for sure. So we, we do the show for all of college football season. We get into December. It's championship Saturday.

our company Christmas party was the night before. So Joy Joy and the Misses got wrecked at that party and then went out afterwards with a few of our other cohorts at the station at the station. God. And we were taking, we were taking, I know you're not supposed to call them this, but the Irish with the Yeager and the milk,

that shot, that drink. What is it? The bombs, the Irish bombs. Mm-hmm. we were taking those until like one in the morning. And I had, you know, I'm like, it's all right. I'll get five hours of sleep and I'll roll out there. God, five hours.

Championship Saturday, plenty to talk about. Like, we'll be fine. Five hours. I roll out Saturday morning and I'm like, oh boy, pretty sure I'm still drunk. Yeah, dude. So I get in there and just disheveled. Like, I think I'll be all right, but this is not good. So we fire up the mics, we get going.

Daddy's on air. Daddy's on air. Feeling drunk as shit. Uh-oh. Too many bombs last night. Oh, God. Daddy's drunk on air. I see three mics talking the one in the middle.

Uh-huh. But knowing me, I talk into all three because I'm always on air. Blowing numbers. Ah. And my show's doing numbers. Daddy's home. Where are my kids? I miss my kids.

All right, all right, sorry. So we're like, we're into segment one and I'm already like, this is not good. We go to break. That's a bad feeling when you go to break and you're like, that one wasn't it? Well, no, no, no. Like the show was fine. I get my shit together for the show. But in my head the whole time, I was like, I might puke at any second.

I got to get to break as fast as I can. So I get to break. I'm like, Taylor, this is the deal. This is what happened last night. I'm in a bad spot. Did she know? I tell her I'm like, I'm in a bad spot. She's laughing because she's, you know, young 20s too.

Like she got it. And I was like, I'm going to fight through this. But just know that if I at any point step away and just point to you, you got to just go. Like it's on you. you got to just talk. Because I was, you know, as the main host and I also had to run the board. She was just over there on the mic. She didn't have it.

She was a TV lady. She had no idea how to do any of that stuff. So I'm the one who's keeping us on her. And so I was like, at any point, dude, at any point if I point to you and I walk out, you got to just go until I get back. She was like, okay, I got you. We come back and I'm like, you know those waves. it just hits you all of a sudden like get hot getting hot oh god oh god dude sergeant sweaty back

in the studio yo so i i brought us back in and got the rejoiner down and i just go and pointed to her go out to the bathroom luckily bathroom right outside the studio floola la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la i sitting there to try to regain my composure a little bit get up on the sink like wipe my mouth get a little water on me oh boy more more coming at this point I'm like I don't even know she could we could literally the show could just be off right now like she she easily could have just like run out of something to talk about

but to her credit I get done I clean myself up go back in there you think it was like three minutes yeah it was three to five yeah and to her credit she was still she was still

yapping away giving her thoughts about the games given scores running down all of them. Like I think she even jumped into basketball maybe because you're just like, hey, I got to talk. And the cherry on top, her mom was in studio. Oh. Yo. Oh.

Whoa. Her mom? That's crushing, dude. First time I ever met her. Didn't know she was going to be there, but she was in town for the holidays or whatever. And, yeah. But hey, you know what? kept the show on air and didn't puke all over the studio.

What a first impression. Chalk that up to lesson learned in your early 20s of working in local sports radio. Yo, car bomb. Dude. Yeah, it's one of those the night before you're just like, I'll be fine. I'll be fine. I'll get a slice of pizza on the way home. If someone tells you at that moment, you're going to get five hours of sleep,

you're like, doesn't sound too bad. I can do that. I can make this work. Five hours? It's not two and a half. Two hours. Like that's a long nap. Five hours.

I lived off that in high school. Five hours. Right. Five hours. It always turns into two and a half though, you know. By the time you get home, get settled. Then all of a sudden you're wide awake, probably have the spins. Then you're like, oh, God, look at your clock.

3.45. Oh, man. I just kind of want to listen to music. I don't know. 239 a.m. So, uh, Dang. A few, a few origin stories, few throwbacks there.

The mom in studio got me, bro. Yeah, I figured it would. So I held it to the end, baby. Ooh. Sorry. Sorry, Mrs. T. Pugue breath. Thanks for coming.

I apologize profusely after to Taylor and was like, please let her know. Like, that's not a regular thing. Like, I thought it was all right. Christmas party last night. She was like, she listens every week. She's good. She knows it's all good.

She thought it was fun. Is that your drunk cohort? Hey, kiss of death with a girl and her mom. She thought it was funny. No, she thought it was funny. Oh, my God. It was like cute. Yeah, like.

Hey, I'm really sorry. I had a one too many and started doing my Jar Jar Jar Binks impression in front of your mom last night. That was a little intense. Probably came on a little too strong. Oh my God, no. Like she thought it was still. funny. It's so funny.

No, like she loves you. You're like, we're never going to talk again. When the mom hates you and you know it. Oh. No, she thought it's so funny.

Equals hates. He thinks you the biggest idiot ever. Doesn't want you around her daughter. That feeling never, never goes away. You can't let him over after you bomb. You can't get them back. Hey.

Like I said, little two pop. you know, thought it was a little too friendly. Yeah. You go in with something like that? Oh, boy. All right.

Funny guy. Oh, I don't know, Jim. Um, yeah. What'd you do on your Valentine's Hunty? God, man.

I kind of like Valentine's Day because it's just no press. No press over here, dude, just on Instagram the whole day looking at every, dude, the craziest thing to me

is how many people were calling it Valentine's. with an M. Did you see a lot? I saw a lot of that on the internet. I was like, are we, okay?

Is this a joke? Valentine's. I saw like four people accidentally say that. I was like, dude, I got to go, man. I got to get out of here.

But I didn't really do anything. Got stitches taken out of my head. Cool. Pretty appropriate thing to do on Valentine's Day for me. Yeah. What else? Nothing. It was great.

didn't eat anything cool, really didn't do anything. Kind of got sad a little bit. Yeah. Football is over. Valentine's over. What's next? You know, combine? Yeah.

Wait, Valentine's Day was on a Saturday. So, okay, yeah. Valentine's Day, All-Star game combo. It's kind of nice. I was a really underrated weekend in, like, high school and college. Not a remitist. I loved it. Dude, I had like a.

schedule of the all-star events in high school and like middle school like okay this is at 730 this is dude one time my sister's boyfriend like saw it and he goes dude you need to get out more I'll never forget that I was like dog this is like it this is like the weekend I'm watching like rising like the skills challenge bro I'll watch that Tony Parker diamond up who was it why you don't have to come on Brandon Axum Be beat passive. No, no. It was like, it was like

Tony's college boyfriend, like from like Louisville. Like so, he was cool. Was he a, was he a Cardinal or was he a? Bellarmine Knight. Bellarmine night.

There we go. Oh, coach's daughter crossing with the rival, Bellarmine. Yeah, he was, he was about it,

though. Like, I would play Grand Theft Auto all day. And he, like, yeah, like, Like a college dude playing video games like I was watching him play and I was like oh shit like

He knows what he's doing he knows what yeah dude I just remember yeah like in 20 like 2011 to 2013 That was all-star weekend was always around valentines and it just was always a bad winter storm and so it was just like the dip capital of the world I think for three years straight me Dylan Evans Aaron Evans joking probably you, maybe like Mike Nickel, all of us were just in somebody's basement, playing 2K, but then would flip over for the All-Star shit,

and then the whole time just... That's a great night. That's a top, top three night right there. Pizza. Gray sweats, white waffle, cozy. It's such a cozy night. On a weird couch.

Craig Sager, rest of peace, interviewing like KG. God, dang. It's just not like that anymore, though. It was underrated because it was like one of those weekends and where like nobody was trying to like, who's got the open house, who's got, where can we go? Everybody was just like Saturday night in with video games,

dip, pizza, and the All-Star weekend. Never had girlfriend. So like you weren't doing anything on Valentine's Day, like when you're younger. And you like didn't have money type of. Even if you did, you would try to like be able to peruse your way and get it, you know, Hey, can we, you care if we do it like on Friday night? I don't care about missing the rising stars,

sophomores versus freshmen, but, you know. But kind of. Let's do Friday night. It'll be less people out. Just see you go to DIP City. Just trying to watch it.

Just trying to, just trying to watch a slam dunk contest with a full lip in with my boys, really for the rest of my life. Mm-hmm. Really, really underrated weekend. Like kind of too full watching the slubborn. slam dunk contest. That's a worst feeling when you feel fat watching guys do athletic stuff.

You're like, what am I doing? Yeah, I can't even watch it like a superhero movie after I eat. I'm like, God, I feel like shit. Like, I need to work out like twice today if I'm going to go watch this movie or watch anything athletic on TV. Start ripping pushups right there. I need to 10 pull-ups before this dunk. Nothing like a quick, nothing that a quick 20 can't do for it. It's true. It's true. You're feeling great, dude.

20 pushups. Wake you right up. Chest is out. A couple wide grips before this Desmond Mason dunk. He was nasty. Just the guy. This is the guy. Yeah.

Give me 20 diamonds real quick. Diamonds, dude. Now I do 15 wide and then get that last five with the diamond. That last pushup that's so hard. You can barely get up. Yeah, that'll be it for me. Yep. See you next year, pushups.

I can only do 20. Okay. We've got a long way to go. Still can't do a full pull-up. What's up, APC? What's going to have saggy tithes forever. Cool. Not going to be able to wear a nice fitting shirt ever because my tities are just.

No more thermals for your boy. Yeah. Can see his nipples from two miles away. Hey. Oh, wow, Tyree Kilgar released too. That's great. I can't even tell if you're joking, dude. Not I did.

Such a funny transition. Oh, yeah. Well, Tyree Kil got released too. Just so not a sports podcast for that. Wonder where he's going to land. Walked right past him at the Fandual Party at the blue carpet. Small, shortest guy ever. Oh, man.

Dude's just a straight cheetah. where's it going? Raiders. Talk to you next week. Just Raiders cashing in on everybody at the very end of their career when they don't do anything and don't want to be there. I'm like, it's just... At the worst time. Yeah.

Going to the Raiders. There's just a magnet for guys that just are done. I can see it. All right. Let's get to the clubhouse here on this post-valentine show. All-Star break. So it's going to be a whole lot of you, me, phone lines, are open, whatever you want to talk about. Team, these guys are Gmail.com.

We'll start things off with Blake, who's been waiting for a while. Blake, you go ahead with sports heartbreak. All right. Gentlemen, before I get to my man. That's so good. I could listen that for a really long time. I was like, I don't want it to end. All right, all right, go ahead, go ahead. Before I get to my main point, you guys recently talked about coaching a tire. I have a submission for the worst and most meaningless piece of coaching attire. The short sleeve windbreaker. Hot jacket. Hot!

What's purpose does it serve? It's keeping you warm? No, is it ideal for a hot day? No. Is the fabric not breathable? Is it protecting me from wind? No. Is it keeping me dry from rain?

Hardly. Most meaningless piece of coaching attire. Yeah, I definitely agree. But I can't lie. Every training camp, like when the Steelers release their shit, I'm like... Hey, that on Easter? What else? What's up? We're trying to find eggs out here? What's going on? Let me throw something on real quick, kind of nippy out there. You know, it's your in-between weather. You don't know what to wear. I don't need a hoodie. I'm not wearing a polo. I'm not wearing a t-shirt. Give me something. And also, it looks like official, so official.

Yes. Like, you can wear a hot jacket like on a Thursday walkthrough or you can wear a hot jacket in the team picture. And it's like, I guys ready to go. Yeah, you could sneak into the combine with that on. Oh my God, it's so combine. You got a stopwatch and a hot jacket on. What's going on? God, just guy who can't be more excited for the combine next week. Me too. That's next week?

Next week, dude. There's no way, bro. That turnaround is just amazing. We get two weeks of that NFL. Did I tell you what Eisen said to me? Oh, yeah. Yeah, but say it again. Running into him in the streets of San Francisco,

we chat for a little bit, has his glasses off as we're walking away. He goes, okay, I am sure I'll see you at the combine. Slides the glasses on. Dude, there's nothing cooler than when guys put glasses back on.

Goes back to looking at his phone and try to get his Uber or whatever. I was like, all right, see your Prime 47. Let's do it. I know you're just here, but.

I'll be back. We didn't have too much time. Crossover was a little weird. Prime 37? Sure, I'll see you there. Now with a podcast. No. On to my main point, I live in the Dallas area,

and I'm writing you on the one-year anniversary of finding out that Luca Donchich got traded from the Mabbs to the Lakers. There are a few instances as a kid I can remember sports heartache due to my team losing a game or one of my favorite players getting traded. But as I've gotten older, I don't let it affect me as much.

Somehow, though, the Luca trade as a grown adult has affected me the most. Not a sports podcast, but what's your biggest sports heartbreak? Sent from my Ti-84 calculator that Weed Kid knew how to convert into a device that could send text messages if you gave $17. So true. God, they were nice with it. I was like, you are a horrible student and you know the inner workings of this calculator. Yeah. How do you have a Ray J song on your calculator?

your T-I-83. What? How is a Bobby Valentino album on there? And you know that they could like program it to get all the answers on there? I'm like, dude, I don't know. I don't know tech like that, bro. I would write all the answers on my calculator in pencil and just be like, yeah, dude. Like in between the numbers.

That's a kid who like did horrible at school. Probably didn't go to college, but now probably makes like $350,000 a year just working in an IT. kid who doesn't want to talk to anybody doesn't want to talk to anybody hacked PS3 online network in like 2012 I'll never forget that my biggest heartbreak as a kid when the PS

PlayStation online network blacked out for two weeks during Christmas break I was like Mao! Mao! This is what I need it most, dude? That's brutal. That's brutal.

It was peak call of duty. I was like, guess I'll play like the computer? It's just not the same. Campaign, man. Campaign. I know, but like, it's just weird. When you play online, it's like a whole different. It's a little more communal.

I get it. It is. It is. The online plays way different. Another video game podcast. No, never has been. Biggest heartbreak? The two for me easily.

I was 10. Steve Bartman, the Cubs, Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS. Just game six and game seven the next night, just crying my eyes out. Endo pillow vividly remember that. And then, yeah, I was a huge Notre Dame fan growing up because who wasn't Catholic school, Southside, CIO football, all that shit. And when the Bush push happened, that was pretty devastating.

Dang. For me, I can really, this is meaningless, but it might be the most meaningful at the same time. The Steelers just lost to the Broncos one weekend, and that was just my 13th reason, bro. Probably mile high. Just the straw that broke. God, could never beat him, man. And I hated the Broncos.

They were so good. They had Trell Davis. He was just a monster. They were just so stacked. Everybody loved the Broncos. Steelers just putting up their best fight. It was like a 24 to 10. I remember crying in my mom's shower.

It's like, why? I hate the Broncos. Like just it's just one of those games regular season wasn't even playoffs or I was just like no Yeah it's tough yeah god it killed me and like the Steelers Broncos logos next to each other I was so excited for that game like I was like we're gonna knock them off like we're not like we're gonna do I was so hype just beat the hell out of them And the other one for me wait what you can say go no you go you go I did two you do too the other one for me is when Michigan signed with Adidas for 10 years.

Yeah, I remember that your Michigan fandom really fell off after that. That was it for me. It still hasn't come back either. Michigan's a Nike school. I know they're Jordan now, but they're just, they're swoosh. Yeah. Everything changed. I thought they'd get you

with Jordan. I thought, I mean, Jordan, that's a I thought so too. They're like first cousins, Nike and Jordan. Oh, Jordan is a little sexier than Nike at times, but it just isn't the same. man. They change the numbers. They change the like the shade of yellow a little bit. The helmet's matte.

Michigan has matte helmet. What world do we live in? Got to get rid. The mat, the mat fat has got to go. We got to bring shiny back. I can't even look you in the eye if you like matte helmets. I'm like, you just don't, you don't know ball. Holes in the jerseys, holes in the jerseys, small collars, shiny helmets. Shiny ass helmets.

Let's kick it off. Another one for me that I just thought of. Dude, when the Pacers lost in six to the Pistons, and it was Reggie's last game. Oh my God. That was the end of the Pacers for me, dude. I was like... Dude, when Reggie was crying, like coming off the court, bro, that's still...

I was trying to look... I was trying to look... I miss you, Reggie. Dude. I'm about to cry right now. I was looking around for sympathy, too. I was at that game when Tachon Prince swatted it. I was looking around like,

damn and my dad was just like why didn't he dunk it and I was like I was looking I know I was like but he was like for the for the win my dad was like

that's gonna kill him and I was like you're right man it's gonna kill us all I was like can you say something about he got fouled or something he was like he just should have dunked I was like

yeah yeah he didn't he took his time he took his time he took a couple up to like two extra a step, man, just put, he was trying to like make sure he made that layup though. But like, damn, man, not a local podcast.

Not a heartbreak podcast. That was. If you go back and watch that, Al Michaels is on the call. Like the Pistons give another time out so that Reggie can have his moment. Like Larry Brown and the Pistons come out into the court and give him a round of applause

and the whole stadium is the whole arena is on their feet. Oh, bro. Because it's like, fuck you piss. Like hate the Pistons so much. Hate those. teams, but like, that's a good move, man. They were so good, man. Grit City when they got Rashid.

But that was the Pacer's team, too. Tinsley was nasty with it. Like, finally he was died. The whole squad was dialed in. We had some ballers. It was their last, Stephen Jackson. Yeah. Yeah, true.

J.O. Prime J.O. You ever come across some Dremaine O'Neill TikToks? Dude was a dog. Hey, Germaine O'Neill in the post, my whole life, this is all he does. Hey, that middle finger sleeve with seven on it. That's a ring I want when I'm married. Also, he was a power forward who had his own shoe.

That's insane. The J.O. shocks. God. The white and yellow ones always at finish line. Just always at finish line. In my head, I was like, you got to be the richest guy. to buy those. Hey, give you one guess who had those.

You know it, you know it. Nick Baker? Oh, come on, man. I mean, I say I was right there, but I guess him last time. It's always Jay Reese. I know, but one time Nick Baker came to practice, they practiced after us one time, and he had the Oak Hill Carmelo Anthony Jersey on.

I was like, dog. No, yeah, he knows what's going on. Bro, you used to sleep in that thing. That was hard. I was like, nobody has that, dude. Like, that is a sick-ass Christmas present. So Christmas. Oh, yeah, but wearing, like, actual NBA jerseys,

jerseys like that to practice. That's insane. I never did. I always wore, like, a U.N.D. basketball camp cutoff or something. Just cutoffs for the move. maybe like oh then when we got older in like middle school we had like reversible practice jerseys yeah

but shirts and skins was kind of dope just for like running like sixth grade A team felt like you were playing with AN1 like you're at right of something right exactly right yes exactly had AN1 shorts on and like Nike hyperflites no shirt shirt skins always had a little bit more of an edge

they did yeah girls volleyball practice in the atrium there's a volleyball team out there I'm like yo what's good the same practice anymore this is more important than the game itself this is real life you see me slap the backboard

after my layup you see me slap pad backboard pad after my layup fuck yeah 56 bees out there got to show out from Sid Rex Burkhead Sid from Phoenix what's up lads time, long time was introduced to the show from my college roommate. Wait, I think I already read this one.

Yeah, we did read. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whoops. Sorry, Sid. Yeah, we read that a couple weeks ago. It was the advice from the bachelor parties and the weddings. He's got like three weddings in the year. We broke that down pretty well. And he, yeah, Sid messaged us recently on Instagram. So glad to have you. From Griffin, college dorm garbage can that never got changed. Oh. Hello, fellas. Don't know why I said it that way. Hello, fellas. Hello, fellas. Griffin from Canada, long-time listener, third-time emailer.

I'll keep it short this time. If you can pick one athlete past or present to be your college roommate, who would it be? The obvious answer is the 22nd overall pick on the 2004 NFL draft, but I'm curious to see who you guys pick. Thanks, boys, love the show. Sent from the phone in Brett Farve's draft day picture. Oh, that makes a picture ever. Man.

And it should. That is such a lit picture. Go ahead. 20 second overall pick. That's J.P. Lossman. So he knows that. Everybody knows that. Who would you pick to be your roommate?

Yeah, he says pro or college? If you could pick one athlete pastor present to be your college roommate, who would it be? Oh. College me probably would have said like John Wall or something. just because it'd be sick. But me now, I would pick Tom Brady. Because Tom Brady was like watching tape before bed, doing pushups before bed. That's what you really need.

But in college, I'd have been like doing the John Wall dance. Just because I didn't know. But you got, yeah, you got to have that guy that's just on it. Yeah, you can go a few different ways with this. You could go, you want the dude who's locked in. I was going to say Brady Quinn Ooh, that'd be a good one Or you have the guy

Tom Zipakowski Not because he's hot or anything Might be Tom Brady Oh, that'd be a good one Me been in love with Brady Quinn For 20 years, dude Think about Brady Quinn every single day For 20 years

See, I think that Like you have to consider this a factor too Because you know, that room it's small and you got to keep it clean and tidy somewhat it can't be gross it can't be shit everywhere like I think Johnny Manzell

would be a pretty fun roommate but I don't know how clean Johnny football is you'd never see him bro he was never in the room Johnny Manzell stepped in his dorm room three times a week that's true

yeah Zibikowski would be I think pretty sweet because like then that's your boy like he's the guy that like He's like a pit bull. Like you could go to any party with him. Like he's going to have fun. But also if somebody messed with you, he would legitimately smash their face in.

Has to. By default. Like we're homies now. Like if it's your roommate, it doesn't matter who it is. Your homies. Yeah. I was roommates with a couple of guys in college that I would like, I don't know if I necessarily would be friends with.

But I was like, we're boys forever now. That's such a weird thing. Yeah. When you live together, it's like, it's like, bro. Yeah. That's what it is. What about like kind of roommate with Tim Tebowby?

Ooh, that's like next level locked in. Like he was reading the Bible before I went to sleep and stuff. I would rock with it. I think it's got to be a quarterback. Dude.

Like if you're thinking like what you need to be doing, it's got to be a QB. Matt Liner. I think he was having a little fun too. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, Matt Liner, I think, is a perfect mix of like he's got, he's on his P's and Q's, but like, surfer, homeboy, California kid, he's going out.

He's going stepping out to Hollywood. All the girls love him. Bro, I'm going out with Matt Linerd tonight. You're just, you're just coattails. Just riding the wave. Come Matt Linerd in here? Just hottest Cali QVee ever. What's up?

I think that might be the one. I think it's the perfect balance. It's pretty good. good there. I think he kind of listens to our show too, so he would be really happy about that. Cam Newton, Auburn? What? Oh, man.

Yo. See, I feel like that's what, like, throw me the rock. He's so big. Like him and like Johnny Manzell. It's like, yeah, he'd never be in there. But then even so, like, it would be just like a line of people, like, waiting to come in to see him or, you know what I mean? Get a glimpse. He'd be eating all the food, too.

Good snacks in there, you know? Like, he's getting some, he's getting some money in backpacks. Like, there's going to be good snacks in your room. I think Cam's, uh, I think his college attire fits really well for dorms. Like, you know, that dude would have the baggiest sweats that had socks tucked into him. Like a hoodie on with his headphones. Every day. Probably like a neck pillow, slides.

Like, I can see. I can see that Camden big time. Color on color. Like, you know what I mean? Like same sweatshirt color as sweatpants. Literally seven days a week. Never, never doesn't have his hood up. Kind of small backpack.

He's like, always seen him? Yeah, yeah. Always seen him out. I'm like, never seen him in class. But he's always like walking across campus with like a like a sub. like with papers in his hand, you know, like on the go. Like a bag of like gummy clusters, you know? Oh my God.

That looks so small in his hand. It's just those guys that are the best athletes ever. They're like, I eat sour gummy worms all day. I'm like. Yeah, exactly. That's him. That's him. Big, big bag of sour patch kids in the room.

And I'm taking a handful every time I leave. From Corbyn. Giants Eagle, September 30th, 2007, 12-Sack game. These guys maxing, man, newish father here. Congrats. Found the pot around two months ago. Right at the same time the baby had an aggressive sleep regression. Regression now about this?

The result of me listened to every single pot episode over the last two months while no sleep being my way through the night. The show's hilarious and had me laughing my way through some serious sleep deprivation. Corbyn, congrats. Been there, partner. You'll get through it. It always seems like it's going to last longer than it does. And then all of a sudden you're like, oh, they're good. They just sleep now.

Nice. Keep a locked. And honestly, for a second here, Ben, you would appreciate this. I think this might be one of the one things you would appreciate about fatherhood. When that baby's so little and new. And yeah, even if they're up at the middle of the night and you have to be up in the middle of the night, it's kind of, you're in your own world, man. Like you're down in the living room.

You can fire up some coffee like 3.45 because you know that the baby's either going to go back to sleep or you're not probably going to go back to sleep. You're tossing on, like, the earliest news possible. You're like, is there anybody else in the world awake right now? That's pretty sick. You kind of get a jump start on your day. You can kind of catch up on TV shows or something. I remember you're on that.

Yeah. I look up real early and I'd be like, Joey's up right now. Like, just going in. Yeah. Dude. I got kind of jealous. Already coffee in my hand. He's in the swing.

Like, either trying to go to sleep or on me trying to go to sleep. And like, yeah, I'm greeting Chuck Lofton. not a local podcast at 4 a.m. on the dot. Like, let's talk, baby, what we got today. Brainstorming. It does, like, and to be fair, I will say, like, I don't have a real job, you know, so I'm sure that you have, like, you got to go into an office or something, and that is way tougher. But there is those moments where I was like, yeah, like, yeah, would I like to be just, like sleeping comfortably right now?

Sure, but this is pretty sick. I just got my freaking, my blood, my baby on me, drinking a coffee when no one else is awake. Yep. On the grind with you, too. Yeah. So he says, need to shout out TG 119. Could be the best on-field performance I've seen in a long time. I felt like I was watching Packers Raiders 2003.

Brett Farr 400-yard 4 TD perfect game. Anyone new to the pod should listen to TG 119 for the perfect depiction of how this is not a reminiscent podcast for Nike Shocks or sports podcast. Mike McKinsey, Al Harris, Champ Bailey, time. Oh. Murderers Row right there. Throw Charles Wilson in there. Oh, that smokes. Do you guys have any specific episodes?

You remember finishing and thinking, man, we really just crush that. I hear Clubhouse hyping up any specific soats. As a retired offensive linemen, I've always appreciated the larger players on the field. Who's the biggest NFL player you can remember watching? He lists a few here. Aaron Gibson, 6-6-4-10, Nate Newton, 6-3-40, Frigerator Perry, 6-3-40, Trent Williams, 653-3-20, Jordan Maillata, 6-8-365. Appreciate it, Corby.

Man, appreciate the email, dude. That's great. Congrats on the baby again. TG 119. Sleeper pick. Thank you for listening, though. And running it back to 119. TG 119.

I'll look it up right now. TG119. They're on 73 right now. So that's 54 episodes. So it's like basically about a year, a little over a year. year ago. Barry me and Nike Shocks was the title.

I think that's like 74 of our titles though. Yeah. We're talking about like KFC buffets. Just, just, you know, normal stuff. Normal stuff, yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's be interested to hear. I don't know, like usually when we're in person, since we don't get to do it as often anymore, like,

whenever we get to be in person together, I'm always like, hell yeah, like that'll be a little bit of a different one. But like, to your point, you've texted me. You're like, we kind of like, kind of work this remote thing pretty well here. It's almost weird to do it. It's the opposite for me now. Like, this is it now. Like, we worked out the timing and like, I don't know.

I think we just like figured this out. But in then in person, it's lit. But I'm like, I mean, I'm just used to do it. I'm used to watching you on a screen. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, because we're looking at each other. And then what we're doing in person, we're side by side. So it's kind of, yeah, do I look at the camera.

No, but like every week, literally, I mean, like, not to get super like center mental or real, but like we just enjoy the hell out of doing it. So like every week, it's like a nice release for me to come and do this and have fun with you. And so every week I walk away. I'm like, Riley, literally I'll walk upstairs where I was like, how was the show? I'm like, fun as always. Always good. I had fun. Never been a bad one.

Honestly. And like I can honestly say that I always like dread everything. But this podcast, I'm like, I'm never like, damn. Yeah. I'm always just like, just get to talk with the clubhouse for an hour. There's been plenty of other things in my career and in my life that, yeah, I'm just like, oh, God, all right. Nah.

Not this. Mm-mm. And a big kudos skills to you. The listener. The listener. God, dang. Man, Jordan. Myelota 6-8, 365.

That's a huge bitch. Vernon Goldstein. Ohio State. Just the most Jack guy I've ever seen in my life. What happened? I think he was just like... Top five bust. Like underwear Olympics workout warrior.

But he was killing at Ohio State, like unblockable. When you're playing Marshall three weeks of the year and then you have all these other All-Americans next to you, it's like. Yeah. I thought he was for sure going to be like just a problem in the NFL. Jonathan Ogden and Orlando Pace. First pick every time I'm on NFL Street. I'm like, J.O's on the board, bro. I got to take him.

He's holding down. that left side. Just no absolutely no clue what the process would be to get a helmet that actually fits his head. Always think about that. I remember not a local podcast, but a story broke out. It might have been a Channel 1

news story. And the kid's head was so big. They had to get a special made helmet for him. And it was revolutions just came out. It was the whole thing. I was like, bro, just strap the helmet on this big ass head. Let's go, man. How many times have I worn the wrong size helmet?

You guys are worried about the wrong thing. Just get out there. Don't talk about that Massigail like that. That was a little insane. I'd be looking at him in the huddle like, bro, how the hell? And also, how the hell are you not a five-star or like O-Linman? And low-key, he was pretty good. I was like, how are we not knowing about you?

Yeah Casey Hampton He wasn't the tallest But my God The width on that guy He was taken up From A to both the B gaps It was just him

That's crazy Big guys Vince Wilfork Mm-hmm Biggest ever Homeboy from the Packers It's kind of like Warren Sapp

Before Warren's Sapp Nah He had the Vibe Bejay Raji? No Oh, the dude Yeah, the dude

Yeah was crazy in Blitz and he played on the Packer's Super Bowl teams I remember his name We're gonna get

killed for this bro I know, I know I know So sorry And then Warren Sapp kind of too Yeah

from Jack Subject line Kevin to Gandhi Guys Kevin de Gandhi Kevin de Gandhi can do it all, man. Like when he shows up on SportsCenter, I'm like, this is going to be just like a well-oiled machine.

You know you're in good hands. Guy can run a whole baseball show and then just do soccer too. And you're just like, five tool. Guys, short time, first time Instagram gave me y'all's pod clips for the past couple of years

and I finally decided to listen. The binge over the last few weeks has been nothing but last. My very first exposure was seeing Pulitzer describe how tough it was to see Christmas morning come to an end and how prolonging the process was always the goal. New shoes, put them all and run around the house.

It is a line that I sling out every single year since, not a nostalgia podcast. Yeah, dude, that's one of, I mean, we reposted it every year because it is so damn true, man. Live on two out of seven, two out of seven. Present two is insane, dude. Because you just got a good feeling, something's coming. They ain't even close to being over.

You broke the seal with one, you know? It's like maybe not the hottest gift, but Anyways, Snyder Stamps, 5639, Christmas. He says, I was born in the 21st century, my bad. But all four of my older brothers are at y'all's age, so living through them makes y'all's conversations just as relatable. I was thinking back on how sensational it was that we could watch SportsCenter as they showed five consecutive NBA NFL game

highlight reels, followed by the top 10 plays every morning back in the day before school. all before having to hop in the car and go with no more than 10 seconds to spare. Someone bigger than us knew that we needed to see that. The best was how they would take the best of the best play and match it up with one of the previous day and whoever won would move on in the next day.

I forgot about that. I didn't. Jesus Christ. Jerome Simpson, end zone flip. 136 weeks in a row. I was like, no one's beating that ever.

Hey, you know what day that game was played on? It was really, it was like sunny out. It was against the Steelers, wasn't it? Is it against the Steelers? All right, I'll shut up. Christmas Eve.

That was Christmas Eve? The front flip? Who were they playing? I think the Arizona Cardinals. Hey, Fox had the Christmas light graphics. When he scored. Okay, he says the amount of time I saw Ocho Cinco's front flip with Kevin DeVo.

It might be what he's talking about. Yeah, it was Jerome Simpson. with Kevin de Gandhi and John Butchagros losing their minds is something to be remembered. Big love coming from Utah. I lived in Michigan for two years right after high school. The Midwest is the real deal and not enough people know. Slop my ass with my throwback powder blue Darren Williams' jazz jersey

that somebody always hyped me up for when I wear it. Are you sure never about to mid-2000s jazz? Probably not, honestly. Kobe made sure of that. Jack, sent from my guitar hero drum set. AK-47, Darren Williams. Never forget. jazz kind of a problem

jazz and issue jazz were so nice on 2K man Darren Williams was unguardable him in college too I get 56 points dropped on me in like five minute quarters with Darren Williams Darren Williams his tattoo on his arm was such like a

video game default tattoo you give your guy you know you're creating a player in 2K and you just give him a tattoo it's like always the Darren Williams one It was just like a ball. Yeah. I was like, bro, you couldn't. Yeah.

No, those jazz teams were, the jazz weren't the same once they, they went in that era where they went to like that hard purple and yellow and green. I don't know. I don't like that throwback. I like the icy blue. I'm like, you're in Utah, dude. Give me a little avalanche feel. Ooh. God dang.

Those one uni. You know what I'm talking about. Yes. When they would randomly, the jazz would like, you know what? NBA alternate jerseys hit so hard back in like the 2000s. Then when the jazz had black ones with the red, I was like, what is even happening? How are you even allowed to do that? God dang.

Carl Malone in that black jazz jersey. I'm like, I wish you guys had somebody cooler than Carl Malone so I could buy one of your jerseys. But like, I'm not getting a Carl Malone jersey or a hornetet. Orra stock Like There's all Malone jazz Always showed up

At a day party Somebody's always Got him alone It's hard It's hard though Yeah it is Guy white guys Love the mailman

Just two wristbands Right here Yeah So fundamental So it's Dunk on a fast break Like this though All of a sudden

With his hand Okay Okay Mailman Would absolutely suck in today's game Some might say might actually be a mailman Oh god, geez

Woody? Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Did he have a jumper? Didn't watch. Never knew. But I do remember looking in the paper as a kid and the jazz were always like 58 and

Yeah, they ran the west out there. Greg Oster tag, what up? Ran the West out there for a little bit. Let's go to, let's finish up here with D Moore D from Omaha Nebraska Day 1 listener

Love the pod boys I know probably won't make the pod and doesn't make for good listening only content but I wanted to send you my favorite

Nike commercials after you're reacting to Briscoe high Hopefully you link them so the rest of the clubhouse can see

Have Benny shoot my ass out of a helicopter sent from my LG chocolate All right Hey All right So I'll

I'll run through He's got four here Four Are you hearing this? Nah. What are they, though? Just say what they are. This one's Briscoe 2 a day, so it's not, it's not the one on game day.

This is when, like, Dion's son is waking up, Ryan's waking up, and Steve Young's the mailman, and L.T. and Erlacker and them are picking them up to go to 2a days. Yeah, that was always a good one. I love when they, like, it's like a full story. and they release them at different times. God, you can't wait for that commercial to come out. Wait, is this a new one? So excited.

And they capture, I mean, from being obviously not a reminiscent, not a high school sports podcast, but being two guys who, myself very mediocrely and yourself above averagely played high school football, they do capture that feel of a summer morning when you're like a sophomore and you're getting picked up by an older guy, you know, the senior on the team who will let you carpool with them. And you're like, oh, man, like, they're kind of excited about this, but this is going to suck for me.

And it's already so hot. So nervous to, like, get picked up, you know? God, like, why do I got to be nervous before I have to be nervous for practice? Like, this whole day. I know. Just hanging over the head. They capture that really, really well. All right.

So that's going off of the briscoe high. We talked about a couple weeks ago. It's a good one. All right next up Looks like an Olympics one Air Jordan Commercial Mello

They seem to be in Beijing or Japan I don't know if it's Oh yeah okay Then when they're younger but Carmel is at the beginning They're growing up these two kids It's got to be an Olympics commercial Oh wow committed to Georgetown Oh they're playing each other in college

And then they're playing each other China versus America the Olympics. That's pretty cool. I don't even remember that one. So it tells like these two stories of this young Asian kid and this young kid from them being little and they're working their way up

and they meet at Georgetown, North Carolina and play against each other, but then they also play against each other in the Olympics. Jordan commercials are like movies. Oh dude. So deep. And the production on them. Crazy.

All right, two more here. trying to, it's blaring on my ears so I'm trying to describe it as best I can leave nothing Nike I think this might be Troy P
