We went to my rich kids' neighborhood. Rich kids' neighborhood on Halloween. And we went like kind of early. We were in eighth grade. We'd go up to some people's houses and they'd be like, you're too old to trick or treat. We're like, oh my God. But we still did it anyway.

I found one of those houses that was like take one big like jackal anern bowl of king size candy bars just robbed them blind, dude. Kind of feel that about it. Not bad for a fat guy. Hold on. There we go. I just like don't get it. What?

What do they even do? They're just like staring at the camera with their masks on. Why do you even watch this? This is like, I don't know, but this is not like the humor I like. This is not like the kind of comedy I like. Like, I would never go to their show. Bro, honestly? I was kind of in on Chicago until they did the masks and that's kind of messed up.

I was like, does like the mics work? Like I didn't know if it worked. I didn't know if they're just like being weird. They're just like weird. TG 157. Dude, if I was in eighth grade and I saw this podcast, I would listen to it every second of it.

That's good. We kind of need to get in on that age group, that demographic, I think. Like I think we're kind of lacking the middle school boy humor maybe. I don't know. TG 157. It's a Halloween episode. I like can't even understand them. It's so annoying. They're like wearing masks. I'm actually going to take this off because I can't breathe. Oh, damn. Keep it on then.

I can't breathe when you talk to me. Okay. Hot start. Hot start. Halloween start. I don't 157 Nice Dude I love when they throw a little bit of purple And with the Halloween black and orange I almost said black and yellow

Because I still like that whizcleave a song Yeah baby TG 157 What's up? Happy Halloween Halloween's over Still see 16,000 Christmas commercials every day Not holiday podcasts all good Never been one

Oh man, happy birthday. How crazy is that? Thanks, dude. But birthdays on Monday. Kind of trash. Yeah, yeah, feel bad. My birthday was on a Friday, Thursday. My birthday was on a Thursday this year.

Perfect day. It just can't be Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, pretty hype days for a birthday because they're like not really exciting days. Birthday on a Friday. I'm like, I don't really need it to be on a Friday. Friday's already got birthday, like, Feel.

Yeah, I don't know. I kind of disagree. I think Monday, I think Tuesday is the worst day. Really? Tuesday birthday. Tuesday birthday. Monday birthday. It's like, all right.

This is just a fake day. This is my own holiday on a Monday. Basically, I have a three-day weekend. Bro, the fakesest day of all time today. Are you kidding me? I'm doing, dude, I woke up at noon. Only thing I've eaten today is half a pan of brownies. Perfect.

Perfect Yeah, I mean So last Last birthday Under half century For you This is tough One more year

In my 40s Dude Oldest Oldest guy Is he 49 Wait I can't tell if he's 26 or 52

They're old And they act like Eighth graders So Yeah, it's all good. TG live, less than two months away till TG live in Chicago, man. Get those ticks, babe.

I'm excited, get the ticks. They're live everywhere, Instagram bios underneath. You know where to get them. Spread the word. It's, you know the deal, baby. December 22nd. We're going to have a little Monday night football, Idaho potato ball pregame.

It's going to be great. See you there. I saw something on TikTok the other day. about the Insight Bowl. Oh my God, remember that. That logo in the middle of the field? It's like, yeah, dude,

it had like the ball and it was like digitally like flying. God. Virginia Tech was always in that bowl. Bro, I was about to say Virginia Tech or NC State. Yeah, such both teams, dude. Virginia Tech and NC State

are in every bowl. Every time I've seen a bowl game, one of the two. Why is it just like 8 and 4 Virginia tech against like 9 and 3 Oregon State. Never wanted to watch anything more in my life. I'd rather watch that game

a hundred times more than the National Championship. National Championship, there's a weirdness to the National Championship because it's the National Championship. Gee, stroke meter. Somebody's thinking about potatoes. This guy, Thanksgiving's over. Dude, is Thanksgiving, are we even thinking about it? All they talk about our holidays, but like, who's not?

Dude, I haven't spent one second even thinking about Thanksgiving at all, bro. It goes right to Christmas. I will forever. One of the last thoughts on my deathbed when I have the Purdue hat helmet on is I'm going to be, I'll think about the quote you did probably like seven years ago at this point. And it's the truest policy quote probably of all time. for the newcomers for the for the clubhouse who's been here

you've probably heard it for the newcomers it's this Politi on espresso way back in the day dropped you ever think about the other reason we have holidays so we don't kill ourselves dude I can't be the first guy to say that come on I mean

I haven't heard it though I haven't heard it but it is like man why am I still alive in December as you get older it rings more and more true every single year. Hey, can we just get it. Hold on. What's up?

Can we just get it off our chest, dude? Can we just get it off our chest? I know. Some didn't feel right. Just go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Well, you know, as I've grown up, I've learned to,

instead of putting all my thoughts out there on Twitter on Instagram, I'll just text it to a few different people. I guess now I'll save it for the Molinard minute. But it truly is last night I was laying in, in my Aaron Rogers jersey like the saddest little boy of all time watching what this franchise has become. It is absolutely ridiculous and embarrassing to think that Art Rooney the second can sit up there in his owner's box, watching what's happening at Accraure Stadium for the last

three years, watching what this team has become and just say, I don't think we need to make any changes here. It's a joke. It is an absolute joke that continuously the same problems keep happening. Can't cover a tied end. can't come up with a defensive game playing to stop anybody. It's so madding, ridiculous, undisciplined football, get personal fouls on both special teams, defense, and offense when you need it the most.

It's a joke and I'm sick of it. Bro, you got people like thinking of it. I think about the Steelers because of you more than anything in my life. My roommate was like, damn, I wonder what Joey's thinking right now. you got people like feeling your personal pain every time I see the Steelers I'm like dude Joe is probably so mad right now like that's all I think about when I see the Steelers

it's just dude I mean it's funny that you held up the phone because my mom she actually texted today she said I like how because I said this morning and my family group text because my nephew's birthday is on Friday he's a Halloween baby which is sick

that's so cold So Halloween's on Friday. My nephew's birthday's on Friday. His birthday parties on Saturday, right? It's going to be a great weekend. But I said it, ooh, I said it in the group chat. I said, you know what? I am a shell of a man this morning waking up after that performance last night and the performance from the week before.

But you know what? I'm not going to. Teddy's birthday and Halloween. I'm not going to. And my mom was like, that's good. You're growing up. And then she said, I like how Ben holds the timer out on the video. When it's time, dude.

So I got to hit the mark. I got to hit the Molinard Minute mark. And you know what? It's true. It's like four or five years ago, six years ago, I would have just been all over Twitter, just like saying nonsense. And I'm just growing up.

I'm like, I don't need to do that. You know, I don't need to. It's just a bad look. I'll just text my dad or text my buddies or save it for the Molinard minute. But you know what? I think I bring up fair points. And if anybody would want to debate me, talk about how lucky I am that Mike Tomlin is the coach

and the Steelers organization is this stable. I will debate you. night and day, anytime, anywhere. We can get up on the stage. We can have CNN broadcast it. I will be ready to go because it is an absolute shame what we see weekend and week out now from this team. It's ridiculous.

Going back to last year, the last four games of the season, blowout, blowout, blowout, playoffs, blowout, absolutely embarrassing, pathetic performances. Troy Palomalu is sick watching this team. Franco Harris is rolling over in his grave thinking about this team. It's a joke. Start tweeting again, bro. Can you?

I can't I can't It's a bad It's just I don't I don't care for it that way I'll send one out like once every now and then You know but it'll just be one I won't like go off on like a rage or like a rampage It's just it's not how I want to be

It's not how I want to be I'll just save it for the minute And the minute minute minute The OT, the OT minute You know Because we go a little bit longer But I hit my mark every single time If you watch the video on these guys LOL

I hit my mark every single time People got to watch it YouTube vid. Come on. Get over there on YouTube. I get it. I just want to listen to it and I work out. But I mean, watching it is just it's a real thing. Steelers Nation about that.

What? Yeah, so you've eaten brownies. What else is it on the birthday list? We went Papa Johns. We went grilled cheese crunchy burrito at Taco Bell. Crazy. And then we ate brownies all day. We played

NFL Street all day. Beating teams and taking their players on NFL Street, the hardest thing I've ever done. Got Mike Vick and Charles Woodson, though. It's a little glimpse into my life during my birthday. What else happened? Went to Papa John's earlier in the day, like I said, then went back at the buzzer,

ran it back Papa John's twice in one day. That's a first. I don't know how many people have done that. Hey, you only turned 49 once. You only turn 49 once. So you got to make a count. Metabolism slowing down when you hit your 50s. We're shooting from the hip, baby.

One year left. Oldest man of all time. So did you splurge on anything besides food? Did you, you know, get a present for yourself? Tekin for. But it's whatever, you know, nothing crazy. I'm like, you know, now that I say that, now that you say that, I might buy something tonight.

Hmm. Maybe some shoes that I'll never wear. Who knows? Another jersey, you know? You've got the green and white Sanchez. So once you get the USC, make it the triumph. You know what it is? Pistons Chonzie Billups.

That's what it is. Heat Terry Rozier. Oh, my, dude, it's Celtics, right? Nah, more heat. I think he got caught for the heat. Yeah. Terrozier's scary Terry nickname for like two years. like that's the coolest guy ever.

Hey, you perform in Miami? We're the scary Terry jersey with the scream mask. Now we're talking, bro. Who's not coming to see that? I don't even care what he says. I don't even care what he says. Buy a ticket. Just go up there and just list off a bunch of prop bets.

And then in between, just go, ooh. X-ray glasses on the whole time. No, he wasn't the poker. That's Billups. He was getting the Austin Powers magic guy going. Dude, that is it. Best Halloween costume of all time.

Chonsie Phillips' Piss in jersey and got X-ray vision goggles. Just chilling. What's up? That's a good one. I wonder how many of those we would have seen last weekend or this upcoming weekend. It's tough to get the turnaround on that jersey, dude.

I check. I was like, I can't get that by my birthday. See, this is a weird thing too, that always happens for me is with Halloween being on a Friday do you have the party the weekend before or is it still go on Saturday? Can you get a November one party off?

No, you can't. You've taught me that over the years. Can't do that. It's November. Yeah. You know who knows when Halloween is? There's one person that knows the exact night

of when Halloween is. It's never on the day because you never know. Like, when are we celebrating Halloween? And it's the hottest girl, you know. She knows, dude. What are you, when are you busting out the costume? Whatever day that is that she chooses, that's what Halloween is. Right, but, like last Friday was October 24th, a little early.

That's whatever she thinks, man. We don't, we don't determine what Halloween is the hot girls do. Yeah. I think it might be Friday. It might be Friday. Seems a little too. When it lands on a Friday like it does, just, yeah, everybody just go full out on that Friday on Halloween itself. You got to really, that's like, that's like when an eclipse happens. Yeah, you got to just like.

Sound hard, go out. Do coward, do coward. So, uh, Halloween. Uh, Halloween lands on a Friday this year. It's kind of like the eclipse. you know, it comes around every four, five, six, maybe a hundred years.

But when it comes out, when it lands on that day, clear the schedule. Honey, we are not going out. We're throwing the glasses on and we're going to have a good time. It's a treat. Another trick. It's heard.

I do have a cowherd cooking on the Steelers about how the Steelers are just Hallmark Christmas movies. Damn. but that's a good, that's a good analogy. Holy shit. It's the same lead time and time again. It's the same plot.

I've seen the story before. Just a new cast of characters. Yeah, so I'll, uh, I'll be, uh, you know, you guys, clubhouse gets a little tease of that. Maybe that'll be coming out later, but. Keep a lookout. I don't know. Can we just get to sign off one more time before we move on? I start

Better What's the other thing? Oh, always Always the same movie To Always The Steelers

Always Always tell the same story Oh my god If you just started listening to this podcast You'd be like damn they have cowherd on Too All right I went on a golf trip this past week

Saw that, dude Give me the Dietz And that wild I need Zin stats Zin count was Zinc count was was up there It was high for sure I mean you have 11 guys in a big mansion

Yeah Empty in the clip dude The clips were empty that's for sure But Log dogs Just log dogs on the course. Law dog in it. They literally always talk about debt.

Yeah, it was shout out birdie houses, though. That was incredible. Go check them out. If you're into that sort of thing, I don't know if Clubhouse is into that sort of thing. I don't know if they golf. Oh, they golf, bro. Are you kidding me?

I think I'm the only one that doesn't. Yeah, and I'd go. I just wouldn't do it. We had a similar situation to that. Like one of my friends came. Like I was like, I wanted him to be there. And one of those,

you like, you don't want to leave him out, but you kind of knew that's just not his thing, you know? Nice. So was a rude awakening when we played 36 holes on Monday. We played two courses. I mean,

what do you think he was getting into? Just like a bachelor party? Like, I don't know. Take your shirt off. Get a tan. Chill out. Who cares?

I think, I think maybe he had this. hope that like, oh yeah, you know, it's a golf trip, but, you know, we're kind of just like, maybe we'll play a little bit and we're just going to be hanging out, yeah, but now we're down there to golf, brother. That's one thing about bro is like you would never tell him

before the trip that is any of the details, you know? Like, no, because he's one of the, he's one of those friends that like you don't get a, you ever have any of these friends? You're kind of this friend. So you probably get it fully well. Like, you, he's the kind of friend that like you won't get a commitment no matter how big the trip is until like two days before

and so you have to be very strategic about how the invite sent out but then also how many details you give out because one thing and then you know he's like ah actually now I think I am that friend yeah you are so you get it yeah that's uh I prefer that method honestly. Like if I don't hear a thing until 24 hours before, like, chances are high.

I'll go. But then also, you've kind of helped me. I can now talk to people like that. I know how to operate with those kind of people. You know, I can navigate that situation. You know, friend group, especially when you're organizing an event, friend group, it's like you got to know your roster. You know, you're, you're the coach and you got to know what buttons to push, who to get the invite to like three months in advance they'll be good to go. Yeah. The guy they got to check in on counseling, the guy that week of, you're like, hey man, we're doing this thing

and it'll be real fun, I promise. You should come. You've got to know those buttons. You're good at it too. You almost get me every time. I'm close, dude. I'm close. Anytime I can get Politi, it's a big, big success. Thanks, bro. Right, bad, right, right, right, right. Big success in my book.

Let's just get to the club. Clubhouse because Clubhouse is, you guys have sent in. I mean, who I've seen some, I've seen some subject lines that are just dropping my jaw. And I want to read them so bad. Go ahead. I know. We're on a real heater. We're on a real heater here of, uh, you guys sending in. And so keep sending them in because, hey, you know, uh, you drive the show. You know, I'm, I'm just the, I'm just the passenger. I'm just the driver of the bus. You guys are the vehicle operating it. So we should just call this. the ride then.

The ride with these guys. Team these guys at gmail.com. This comes from our friend Dylan. Not that Dylan, but a Dylan who is our friend. Dylan says, Jason know about this? Hey guys.

Day one listener here and the show is always a highlight of my week. God, that means a lot. What does your guys go to movie for the Halloween season even though it's already over? Tough for Ben because he's watched like 10 movies ever, but curious to know what your choice would be. Can't go wrong with any Michael Myers Halloween and someone please buy the life size cutout of him on Amazon.

Best regards, Dylan sent for my Samsung Evergreen. Wow. The Amazon cutout. Did you ever get the Chubacca tough subject? I won't break it up. No, it's all right. I'm glad you did because we went to Home Depot not too long ago. I forget we were picking up there.

and went to Home Depot and immediately when you walk in obviously it's like a winter wonderland already and so I was like ooh let's go check it out didn't tell Rye what we were going to check out at first you know just had to make the move and just go for it and have them follow along

but get over to the Christmas section where all the big tall inflatable decorations are no Chubaca somebody already was a little disappointed yeah I'm sad they had everything else They had everything else. They had a goofy. They had a Mickey.

They had a mini. I'm sure Rye was really disappointed too. Ah, damn it. They don't have it. She probably bought it and threw it away. So you didn't have to. Before he went. She's still getting over it.

She's still getting over it. Yeah. It's been a tough one in our house. Still on the come down from No Chewbacca. But go to Halloween movie. Yeah, mine would be definitely just the original Michael Myers Halloween Also like

The New Age Halloween ones too The ones that came out in like 2018 2020 2020 22 Pretty solid If I was really trying to get scared God what's your go-to scary movie You got one that like

Always oh yeah you don't like them do you Well you're different Your idea of scary is You're big into like Saul and the gory stuff Like I'm good on all that. I just like a lot of suspense and I like, you know, the classic character like Michael Myers.

You know, that's an iconic character. If I'm trying to get scared, God, what is it like? Dude, Amniville horror when I was like in eighth grade, I went to see that and dude, that was pretty bad. I was like, dude, it's always on my list. I need to check that out this week.

Because it's based on a true story, right? Yeah, God damn. I just got scared in my own apartment. but that one like to get scared I'll watch that because kind of I know what's coming but I deleted it from my brain so that I'm still like whoa oh yeah and I watch it like once every four years

but if I'm if I'm just watching a Halloween movie like tonight a good movie would be like one of those scary movies I forget which one's the best never seen them but I bet those are so funny just to get into Halloween mood and it's like goofy and it's like funny I'd be down I'm a scary movie, like the original scary movie or a scary movie three guy.

Those are my two go-tos in that series. Then honestly, dude, I don't know if it's, I think I'm about to throw up. It's a dude on camera. Thumbail. You throwing up me drinking it, 40 views. You know that feeling? Like, right before you throw up where, like, all of a sudden, you're getting kind of hot and you can feel it in your throat. He's got hot neck.

your mouth closes, your mouth feels like a raccoon's mouth. You're like, what the hell is going on here? Oh, got a weird one of those is just like you can feel it in the pit of your stomach. Oh, God. Just thinking about the Steelers,

not even sick. Sir. You good? I think so. Man. That was weird. It was like, yeah, just on one of those school nights

when, all of a sudden just happens out of the blue randomly and you're like, oh, man, maybe I'll throw up and not have to go to school tomorrow. But then you're like, oh, man, I actually feel like really, really bad right now. This isn't fun. Yeah, but the night before school, you get sick and you're like hoping a little bit that you don't get any better, you know, so you can miss that day. What a waste when you throw up the night before and then you wake up the next morning and you're like feeling pretty fine and you haven't thrown up all night. and your mom's like, I think, I think it was just a little bug.

Like, damn it. You got to kind of, every time you've stayed home from school sick, you're halfway faking it. Like, you're not really sick. Like, there's always a little part of me that's like,

I could be there. I could be there. Yeah. Anyways, all right. Gonna fight through here. Pop the peps had refilled the water. I'm trying to think.

I had lasagna and zucchini for dinner. I don't know. Sounds kind of hard. Dude, hocus pocus, though? You went on hocus pocus? I don't, did they remake it recently? I don't know. They did a sequel.

They did a sequel to it, yeah. I think I'm out. Good looking characters, though. Like I've seen a lot of people be like the witch or something for Halloween. Yeah, that, I'd say those two, the Halloween, hocus, and a nightmare before Christmas. Pretty basic. classics though

Give me Give me those three Give me those three And I'm good I could have them on Rotation basis Rotation Fetation

And Halloween And I'm good to go About that Showed Showed my kid The Nightmare before Christmas I was like This might be a little

It might get a little freaked out But he was digging it So I was like cool Really It's always a thing Like some kids Just aren't scared of stuff

And I think it's so crazy like when you're like your homie had like a little brother grown up you try to scare them you and your friend would try to scare your friend's little brother and just wouldn't phase them I was like you're not scared of that

I just gave you my best 10 minutes of scaring people and you're not scared of that at all yeah like I'm a little freaked out because of this place I had to hide and thinking about scary stuff to try to scare you and you didn't even flinch

I pretended I was dead for 20 minutes and you didn't even care I went outside your window, pitch black night with a mask on and anybody could come up behind me, I don't know. And I got nothing from you. Banged on your door, 2 a.m. He told me to shut up.

Yeah, that was always tough. Because I was always a scared kid. So scared. I would try to hide it, you know? But then I'm kind of like, is everybody doing that? But then I just genuinely think, nah, man, like Johnny Sliff, is not scared. It's so crazy when people aren't scared. I'm like, what'd you see when

you're a kid that didn't make you scared of that? That's insane to me. Like, I've seen it all, but like I'm still scared. I still get scared. I got scared like 10 minutes ago, dude. They're watching the ring at someone's house. They're all just laughing their ass off. Lacking their ass off at that girl. I'm like, I guess this is funny, but I'm not sleeping the night. Not going to be funny when I get home and I'm by myself. Not going to be funny on the drive. drive home when I think she's in my trunk. Dude, every time. I'm like, there's somebody back there. So true, though, man. You're right.

The post-sleepover, scary movie or scary situation, and it's all fun in games. And then, yeah, next time you go home and you're in your room, game over. Bro, when you're at your house at night and there's nobody there, I'm like, somebody's in the guest room for sure. Why wouldn't they be? Every sound. every sound when you're home alone as a kid hell even as like a preteen teenager

worse this is it when a stranger calls the calls coming from inside the house I'm done oh my god dude I always had to close all the doors in the house if I was home alone close all the doors bro

I'd see something weird in a mirror something would catch my eye in the mirror I'd be like oh my god I'd hide you on a couch for two hours Is this really how I'm going out? That's what I'd be going through my mind. Like, I thought a trained ninja was in my house about to kill me. Like, damn, they're so good.

I'm like, this guy is so good. He's been haunting me for years. Close the doors. So you're like, well, you know, if they open it, I'll at least be able to hear something. Mm-hmm. Or close all the doors and go outside. I'll go outside and play basketball for four hours. hours. It just because I was so scared.

You go outside? Oh my God. Yeah. I got to get out of this house, bro. Like, I thought they were into the wild. So scared one time. I thought they were in the house and I just like put the garage down and lock the like left. Like I would run away from my house to get away from it. But I just couldn't run away from my house. So I was in the driveway like just hooping like looking or like scared hooping like looking around the whole time. Like I'd see my neighbor and be like at least he's around. like Jesus Christ. Start coming up with your game plans of what you're going to do,

which house you can run to. I was like, I'm kind of fast, dude. And I had my bike right there. I'm like, if it's got to be that, it's got to be that. I guess I did do that one time. I remember I did that one time. I legitimately was like I heard like a do too, like someone on the stairs.

I was like, I'm out. Yeah, I did. You're right. I ran out to my driveway. Yep. Camp out in your driveway for a little bit. Call your mom like 62 times. Mm-hmm.

Of course, never answer. Never answer. I'm like, what is she doing? She has her phone, dude. She has her phone. Like, just pick it up. Oh my God, there's been so many times. But then that's where I'm like, well, this is, this is like a horror movie because of course the mom doesn't answer.

Of course, my saving grace is just leaving me here to die. Yep. Hey, she could be dead. It was thought that all the time. Anytime my mom didn't come home for an hour, she's dead. Dude, she's dead. She had to die. Doesn't answer twice.

Yeah. Whole family's dead. I'm next. Got my bike, though. Let's go to Ryan. Station, know about Brian Dawkins, Bob Standers, Ed Reed, and Troy Palomalo. Gents, three-time email or longtime listener. I went out last night for some Thursday night football.

Beers beats a football with the boys. Like many times in the past, we started debating our favorite slash the best safety in the NFL from when we were growing up. Each of us surprisingly had a different answer. but the list included Dawkins, Sanders, Reed, and Palomalo. I personally said Brian Dawkins, but would love to know which one you guys would consider your favorite. P.S. Our dad's the only people nowadays that still use the phrase, your man card has been revoked.

Slap my ass while I run up the score on my little brother, Madno 5 as he's holding back tears. Sent from my Blackberry 7230, 7230. I love how we're doing the phones like that, bro. I wish, uh, yeah. Can you guys start including pictures in those maybe? I know that's a lot to ask. I'll shut up.

But it would be nice to like see those. Like somebody said the Samsung Evergreen or something? I'd never seen that phone. But I want to really bad. All right. To the question. What I would I do to be in that conversation? Almost anything.

And what I'd do to be so good at video games that I'd be beating someone and they're holding back tears? Oh my God. Would never be me. But best say. It's probably Paul Amaloo, but I'd say Ed Reed just because he was like, just taking back interceptions that are like 107 yards.

I'm like, damn. Him in college, like that's another thing. Paul Amalu didn't really see anything of him in college except for when he like killed that guy. Yeah, it's kind of like, I think a few factors go into it. You know, are you NFC or you AFC? Yeah, if you're NFC, if you're NFC, if you're NFC personality type,

or you grew up in an NFC region or household, you're probably going to lean Dawkins because you're probably seeing them way more often. You know, you're on Fox. You had that dialed up. And you're an Eagles fan. Yeah, obviously for me, Palomalu,

favorite football player of all time, Jesus on the football field. Like, just, again, we're going back to the Steelers, but I legitimately thought last night, as I'm watching that, I'm just like, man, this ain't Troy P's, D.

The same, this ain't my Steelers defense, that's for sure. Absolutely not. Can't name anybody. The hell. Sanders just was too beat up. Yeah, not a sports podcast, but he just didn't play enough.

Oh, Bob Sanders? Yeah. Yeah. I honestly can't think of one time where he played the whole game. And I, like, really watched Colts games, I think. But I don't know. Everybody loved him, so I was like, yeah, dude.

I don't know. It's one of those that are a hit. His highs were really, really high, but you just didn't get enough of him because he was always hurt. But then it comes down to between Dawkins and Sanders there. But then with Palomalu, Reed, yeah, it's also like a personality type thing, I think. You know, they played differently as well. Like, Reed was center field and picking off tipped passes, you know, picking off passes and housing them 100 yards. And then Palomalo was just like the Tasmanian devil flying all over the field, jumping over the line of scrimmage.

you know it's just his little you know is an either or kind of thing I just remember seeing it like a bunch of clips where an Ed Reed played for Miami and they were wearing that all white and they were playing like Temple or something and Ed Reed was returning a pick and it was just the most amazing thing I've ever seen

he only he like fake pitched it three times I'm like who is doing that bro and they just like so dope in the all white I was like this dude's different but yeah that's probably what I'd say not a sports podcast one thing that does go in favor of Ed Reed is he was one of the Burger King commercials

That's all I thought I was thinking about that the whole time we're talking about this If you make a Burger King commercial Like you're that guy You're him I was the guy in the burger Yeah That's definitely a feather in his cap

That could be a Trump card for him But obviously you know my answer is going to be Palomalo easily from Mitch title Mickey Morindini Who was actually a guest On espresso way back in the day

If you remember that Wait what Yeah Yeah Hoosier and Chicago Cub We had them on Boys I'm sitting at work Proudly wearing my official

These guys Humpty hat As I write this Wow Love how this bad boy turned out I got it in black many cohorts ask me if I'm an avid outdoorsman. Oh my God. There is a camo hunting hat and it kind of slaps.

It's on the side. To which I reply, I don't go hunting, but I love hiking in the outdoors with my hunting. So I could really use your help with a little bit of a dilemma. I'm beyond excited for the upcoming of these guys live show, but my best friend and fellow clubhouse member, Sammy is heading back from his holiday trip too early to join me.

I need all of Clubhouse to help show him the air. his ways and that the station does not know about dish. Slap my ass while my wife screams, Ophelia! At the top of her lungs of my ear. Sent from the CW customer service team. What? Oh shit, that's funny.

Just want to cut up of me saying all these different sent froms. Just 60 seconds. Sent from, sent from. That's pretty good idea. That's awesome. I never even thought about that would be a question that somebody would bring. I didn't even put those together about the hunting and the hunting

makes a lot of sense. Great reply to your cohort to co-hort. The way that I would, if I had that hat on, somebody was like, you big hunting guy? What the hell are people talking about? What? Oh, okay.

Huntie. Let's see here. Battling chargers. I'm battling chargers. Chargers. All right. Let's see. The dilemma here.

Love, love that you're coming to these guys live. That's great. See you there. Heading back from his holiday trip too early to join me. What do you think, Ben? Change some dates, babe. Make it happen. It's Christmas?

You'll never forget it. Got to make some mems on Christmas. We're shooting from the hip on December 22nd. you can't plan that far in advance you just got to do stuff dude remember that Christmas when like you were supposed to like not be in Chicago but then like you moved your flight

and they're like we had like the best night ever never gonna forget that those are the best times when it's just spare the moment boom yeah I just did it screw it like I'll work from I'll work from the road the next day whatever it's the best

station knows about that getting wings at that wing place that Ben says is good after. Right across the street dude, can't wait. Falling off the bone with the boys. I think you got your answer there, Sammy.

With jersey's on? Okay, like, I know this isn't like a sports bar where there are like 75 guys in here wearing college football jersey. Oh my God, my dream, dude. Can you imagine? Walking in after these guys.

live. I'm walking in that bitch with eye black on. I black. 50 wings. Throw them at my ass. Let's go. We close in five minutes. Sorry.

Dude, they have the best bathrooms in that place too. Really good bathrooms. Underrated for a little sports pub, you know? Urinals to the floor, bro. Ah, fun.

Just go blast off, dude. No aim. Well, now if you're not going, forgets of that, Sammy. I mean, I don't really know what we can do there. Urinals to the floor? Station, how about that? Just walk in, a bunch of guys with shoulder pads and finger tape on.

Yeah, we'll take a table for 25. Can we put a few of these together? It's like a nicer place, too. You guys got touch tunes? Saying a lot. Touch tunes, yeah. Need a designated touch tunes guy. Always got to have a designated touch tunes guy.

Had one of them on my Myrtle Beach trip. It's great. I always got some heaters in the back pocket. Like, I forgot about that song. We get into Myrtle Beach on Sunday. We can't check into the house to like four. We get in at like 10.30. So we just go to like a random sports bar to watch football and, you know,

fuck around. And we're sitting there. There's literally nobody else in the place. And then all of a sudden, do you? I look around like, this got to be you, right? Oh, yeah. Keep it on the long. That song that kind of...

That song at 3 a.m. Time to cry. These guys live. There you go. From Blake. Pretty fittingly, subject line, Michael Myers. Boys, newish listener, second time emailer. Glad to have you back.

Listen to you guys on Saturday afternoon while recovering from my ACL reconstruction surgery. So I have to say, but this is the second time I've torn it due to basketball. and I'm thinking I'm going to retire. My men's league team will probably miss my six points per game in defensive communication, but we move. See, dude, yeah, that's, you know what?

Hang them up. Hang them up, pal. Like, good on you for continuing to, you know, to throw on the shoes and the knee pad and you have the knee brace probably. Well, you obviously need a knee brace. But hang them up. Just join like a Yucre League, man. I promise.

Yeah, I don't know. I promise. I stepped away, but I was reeled back in when I worked at Lids Corporate. They had like a basketball. They had like a basketball league, dude. And I was like so not going to play at all. But like one of the homies was like, we got a game tonight. Dude, do you want to step in?

And it was like a weird situation where like we played in a place where both the basketball hoops were like driveway basketball hoops. and I kind of went off and then I had to I had to play for the rest of the season dude and it was getting chippy dude those office basketball tournaments get so real like I'd wake up thinking about the team

that we were gonna play that night like dude like they worked in like the factory part I was like yo and I was like in the office like we never saw those guys but I'm like they got they got like shooters that people gunning from the corn

I'm like, where are these guys coming from, dude? The corporates versus the blue collar. Bro. Like injured, kind of like cut on my face. I'm good, I'm good. I'm staying in. Like, dude, this is the Lids basketball tournament. It was so real.

Riffs or call your own fouls? We had refs, dude. It was a real deal. They're like counting on me. I was like, this is crazy. Hey, did guys, girls show up? That's why we were playing so hard. one girl walks in, bro.

Everybody's slapping the floor locking in. Those leagues are so funny, man. Yeah, when there'll be like three wives in the stands. There's always like one wife that takes it way too seriously. He's like really invested. One wife you can tell is just like, I'm just doing my duty. That's like a, like they've been married for like seven years. The first year wife is so locked in.

She made snacks to the team. Yeah. Seventh-year wife is like, I'm doing this because our marriage is kind of on the fritz. Got to support my husband. In his basketball game. Before every game, just don't get hurt, babe. Just don't get hurt. Same game.

Yep. Float out, Dee. Michael or Blake goes on to say, hearing you guys talk about anything goes on Halloween, a couple of funny Michael Myers masks scenarios. One, building off one you guys mentioned, the offensive lineman, 67, that's a senior, but is third on the depth chart with a sophomore in front of him. He knows this is his time to make a name for himself. He sneaks a mask into the pregame inflatable tunnel and makes his way to the back.

The fog machine turns on and the start running back runs through the team tunnel. Head ball coach is waiting for them at their 40, just give a few last words before a kick. Coach thinks he has everyone in the huddle until, out of the corner of his eye, he sees 67 just walking through the fog in a Michael Myers mask slowly towards the rest of the team. The coach rips off his headset and goes ballistic on a

JV get back coach to go get him. 67, who wasn't going to see the field that game anyway, is now a legend. Scenario 2. Just a funny visual, but you walk into a guy go to get an insurance quote and a guy is just sitting at his desk in the mask. No moving. Doesn't turn his head to acknowledge you just sitting. The guy

knows ball. Scenario 3, you refer to this on the pod, but the guy he wears a mask and sits still on a chair on Halloween, leaving others guessing if he's real or not. Nobody ever knows as he stays true to the bet, and he wastes his whole night doing this. But is it wasted? Slat my ass with the Russell Westbrook King's 18 jersey. Salute. Wow.

Painted the picture, dog. What an email. We pick a scenario? Are you thrown up? Sure. Pick a scenario. What was the question? He was just thinking of scenarios.

I'm not throwing up. I'm battling chargers here because my outlet, my extension cord has three prongs and like my laptop one and my phone charger. I need my phone charger right now. And so they don't all fit. And so I'm kind of having to switch back and forth. Wow.

Wow. Okay. Justin Herbert. Oh, God. Dude, the Geico. Anytime like throw a, throw somebody in a mask or a costume. like that in a setting they're not supposed to be with everything else normal in that said

scenario tops the best stay into the bit doesn't talk the whole day i want that guy's autograph that guy's getting business mm-hmm just all day sitting there in a suit with the michael mire's mask on come on right shirt and tie michael myers mask you're like asking questions and he's just kind of funny sketch guy who takes Halloween too seriously uh We got to do that in high school one year. It was so weird to me that we got to do it. Like we went to Catholic high school. And the rules are so strict.

You couldn't have long hair. Like, you know, all that kind of stuff. But for Halloween one year, my freshman year, we got to dress up. And I don't think we ever got to do it again. Did you? Oh, so Halloween would land on a weekday. And then you guys could wear your costumes to school. It was like where.

It was like go. out. And I was like, damn. I don't think I, I, I can't really remember what I did. Or, or, or I was on like a, like a team or something. And I just wore like the team, like I didn't dress up. I just went like with the sports thing. But dude, some people, you did. You just wore like, you wore like, you were like a baseball hat in a baseball jersey. You're like, I'm dirt cheater. No, like, like, if we had a game or something like that, like we could wear like our like warm up or something, you know, like, like Roncali basketball warm up. Or you could like go all out and dress up.

And I was like, I don't, I don't have anything. Yeah, freshman. It's a tough call. Freshman, you know, you're just trying to fit in any way you can. You don't want to. And honestly, stand out or, yeah. And I wasn't doing, I wasn't on that either. I was trying to be like, uh, trying to be like,

sport guy. But I, and I was like, how, who's really going to do it? Because people are kind of like in that stage of life. You're like, I'm not dressing up. Bro, people went insane dog. Like straight full like Pokemon, straight Digimon mask. Like some people were like honestly kind of scary. There were a couple scream.

And dude, there's just a dude in our math class just scream mask on the whole time. I'm like, he could just cheat so easy in that. See, that's what I was about to say. I didn't have that experience. I'm pretty sure that didn't happen. when I was there because that's exactly what happened. Somebody ruined it. People took it too far.

They were like, okay, we tried it. We can't, we can't do this. Kid who drinks too much Mountain Dew brought fake blood in and scared all the girls and we can't do this anymore. It was a lot of, it was like that, dude. I was like, I did not know. I didn't know it was on this level. Like, it was crazy. The commitment to the costumes.

There was like a cheating scandal, right? you had like a cheating ring that day from everybody who was wearing masks and costumes that could look at yeah there's something that happened where they're like you know what actually we're going to scratch the Halloween idea just wear uniforms all out just sitting next to a bloody pig and english class i was like this is crazy dude especially when you're in a class with like a guy that was like older than you know some classes you'd like oh yeah you have a junior in your class you're so scared of them and he was just like chucky you're like oh my god Yeah. I see what's funny now is that you're talking about how in that time you're you're just wanting to fit in.

You're not wanting to go against the grain or stand out. You're just like, I just want to, I don't want to be the guy that shows up and nobody's doing it. I'm the one doing it. You don't want to do that. Tough as a freshman. But now, now I'm at the phase in life or like on Saturday I went to like a family Halloween party. Right. Like one of my friends was having a big Halloween bash and, you know, all. a whole bunch of people that we all went to school with all came and their kids, you know, everybody's kids came, you know, because everybody's got kids that are like newborn to six years old, seven years old at this point. And my buddy, it was his brother who was hosting it, but he was like, yeah, dude, it's a costume party.

Like, people are dressing up. And I was like, oh, okay, really? Like, even the grownups? Because I'm thinking, like, obviously the kids are going to, but like, are the grownups dressing up? Is it that kind of? He's like, yeah, for sure. Like, okay.

picture. So I tell Rai and she like panic overnight. It's a whole bunch of stuff for us. We were the Monsters Ink crew. Nice. And yeah, so it was great. But then like,

of course we're pulling up. And it's all my, you know, we're my wife's friends with all of them, but like they're my friends. They're all the people that I grew up with. Right. So like she's still on the outside kind of looking at.

And she's fully dressed as the Ross lady for Monsters Inc. You know, the, I'm watching you was asking. That lady. like wig on glasses all of it i'm in a full onesie solely costume right like so we pull up and the first three people we see aren't dressed up god oh no and then we park and my buddy who told us that it was a costume party that we should dress up he gets out of his car and he's got a

quarter zip and khaki's on and i'm like dude what's going on he's like yeah pulls out a sling puts his arm in a sling and has a golf club is like, oh yeah, I'm Tiger Woods and his wife was Tiger Woods wife that he cheated on and so they just weren't normal ass clothes Damn it, man, come on, if you're gonna do it, do it. So I was like, bro, you literally,

you made us panic by all this shit, I'm in a onesie. That sucks. So he was laughing about it. Did he say that? Did you say that? Oh yeah, fully. He told me. On the golf trip, he was on the golf trip with me.

And so he brought it up. He brought it up to me and was like, yeah, dude, all the grownups are dressing up like it's a full thing. All right. Does that. 30 minutes into the party slings off. Putters gone. He's just chilling there in a quarter zipping khakis.

I'm sitting next to him as fucking salty. Did anybody else dress up? Luckily, luckily, that's the, you know, we get up there and pretty I'd say 80% of the adults there if not more were in costume like fully of some sort. So there we go. It turned out it turned out to work out. But it's just that never ends seemingly. You think you're over it when you're 14, 15.

You're like, I just want to stand in. I don't know. Like I do want to dress up because I think it would be fun. But like I don't want to be the dress up guy. Even when you're 32, it's the same shit. Never. I've never been more in. I got over it real quick.

think my breaking point was that day. I went to school and everybody was so committed. I was like, dude, what am I doing? Yeah, missing out. Tough. From Ryan, just says Kevin Burkart. Just watch the two most NFC games ever at 430. Green Bay at Arizona and Washington at Dallas.

Great uniform matchup. Cowboys home jerseys are so clean. And that all red Arizona versus Green Bay just hits right. All those all yellow. Chargers jersey are awful. Yeah. Gotta have a little bit of... Love Kevin Burkart, by the way.

Great guy. Got to have a little bit of contrast. In the teams that are playing? Like if... Oh, you mean like in the chart? Yeah, monochrome. Not good. Yeah. Monochrome works. Like, they were playing the Colts in this game.

The Colts, they have just the all whites. And that looks great. You can get away with that. This is just the all white. Yeah. But with the yellow like that, yeah, man, it's just you're bound to just look like an idiot. It's just a rule that you figure out too late in life that white guys don't look good in yellow. White guys don't look good in yellow.

Black dudes look good and yellow. But honestly, I mean, not as good as what they, like, you know what I mean, like a normal combo. But white guys look like trash. in all yellow jerseys. I don't know why. It's just how it goes. Only white guy to ever look good in all yellow was Jim Carrey

in the mask and the dude was green. Like think about all the dudes that were, ew, like Lakers, white guys that were, Paul Gasol, Powell Gasol said Paul. In the yellow? Ew, man. Ryan Kelly from Duke. Oh, God.

Ryan Kelly, Frank Kaminsky, before Frank Kaminsky? Same guy. Yeah, we're getting real deep. NBA seasons here. NBA seasons here at Clubhouse. It is. Kind of sad when it's on TV.

I was like, wow, we're really doing the real season. Oh, my God. Kind of sad that all the Pacers magic just completely out of the tube. Really? Everybody's hurt. Everybody's hurt.

Guys aren't trying until two weeks before the playoffs, dude. Stay alive. Oh, and three to start the year. everybody's hurt. It's a real hard come down from where we just wear over the summer real hard.

But it is. It's a long season. I'm a sports podcast. Hey, signed Mack McLung. I did see that. Kind of hard. Kind of hard.

Hold on, hold on. The furphy guy, Mac MacLong, and Obie Topping on the same team? Dude. Screw the rims in. That's crazy.

Can we just do it? a dunk contest the whole time? That's insane. All right. Now the sports podcast. He's got a good feel. Not local. Not local. Let's go to Jake.

It says recessed touchdown celebrations. Whoa. Shkow on. Clubhouse rookie first time email her. Welcome, Jake. Welcome to the Shat. My burpee girl wife and I live on the west side of Chicago near high school and police training office.

Most dogs walks and tail me shouting. him up, get it up, get it up, get it up, let's go, let's go. While our poor dog tries to keep pace. Last week, we stumbled upon an aspiring police cadet and his girl making out in the parking lot. Immediately, my wife and I turned to each other and led out a simultaneous station. Thank you for confirming I found my true soulmate. Wow. Dude, I missed a little part.

Run it back. Not the whole thing. Would you miss? I don't know. All right. Part after a dog. walking, I think. Okay.

Last week we stumbled upon an aspiring police cadet and his girl making out in the parking lot. Immediately, my wife and I turned to each other and led out a simultaneous station out by this? No way. Thank you for confirming I found my true soulmate. Did they hear that? It would be so funny to catch somebody making a station out. Station out about the... Oh my God.

Had a police station, dude. my god station how about that when anyone does too okay i need you guys you know what i needed dude you know what i needed there jake i needed i needed uh an impromptu quick just a little snapchat of what was going on and then just a pan to your wife with a station how about this dude four second video best video of all time recorded on your blackberry come on uh hey chicago west side Chicago means we better see you and the misses at these guys live on December 22nd. He then goes on to say, okay, since this isn't a sports or reminiscent podcast, I've been dying to ask. During recess and grade school, what iconic touchdown celebrations did junior classmates imitate?

For us, it was likely let Danian Tomlinson ball flip, Aryan Foster bow. God, that went hard. Eerie shuffle by the old souls. if you house the kick return it'd probably be Jacoby Jones juggling Chopa City juke or a classic Desmond Howard Heisman pose My BFF would always hit the

Muson Muhammad between the legs crossover Oh that's a that's an underrated one You remember that? What is that? What is that? He would like do a few He would like drag his feet And do a few in between the legs With the ball

Oh wow How come I don't remember that? Dude, he's a guy that always comes up on this podcast, this sneaky Panthers podcast that we're operating. We are getting there. Yeah. We are getting there. Where'd he go?

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Oh, good call. As for myself, growing up a quarterback in Packers country, if I wasn't geek jumping into my 4-8-120-pound linens arms like Brett Favre and the Super Bowl,

it was bound to be an Aaron Rogers discount double check. Or after a grueling math or science test, dare I say, attend Tebow, kneel, and prayer. Doesn't have to be on the gridiron either. I'll never forget placing an imaginary crown to my buddy's head after converting an alley-up against two private school neighbors who had the perfect seven-foot hoop in their driveway.

Settle jab at the private school kids, because they all did have all my buddies had a hoop in their driveway that you could lower. Says, counting down the days till the Zanis Christmas show, oh sweet, planning on bringing my old man an equally proud clubhouse rookie after I let him choose his game day threads from a small subsection of my closet. Appreciate a little laughs and memory. Smack my ass with a Steve Nash Sports Illustrated poster centered right below my Nerf hoop

before mom takes it down because you're ruining the bedroom closet door. Sent from my middle school Pan Tech Matrix cell phone with dual sliding keyboards. Oh man, those are the best phones. It felt illegal to have that. Like I was like, we have this tech. We have this tech right now? am I in the FBI you're so right on the sound

Tony Stark all right crazy dude I'm like I'm 16 and I have this I can talk to I can anybody

mild mmhmm mmhmm TD celebrations those are all I mean those are I feel like a lot of those you mentioned they're pretty universal Jake good calls there the LT flip was

always nice. I could never really do that. I had to practice that a lot before. Like if you didn't know how to do it, you couldn't just get it right on the first time. It's not like a natural thing. The ball flip, yeah,

like you get the pose down, but the ball flip would kind of, you'd kind of sputter a little bit. It kind of ruined it. I think I always did the spin with the ball and kind of like, we didn't really have much time. I felt like we had to go for two quick

when we played recess football. I do the lot of times. And then it was like, all right, let's get back. I got to get back lined up. A lot of times at our schools, like for some reason,

we didn't have an actual football to play with. So we'd be playing football with like one of those red dodge balls. Yeah. It's like we can't get one? Just one. And we were always a little violent too.

Like, um, we always had to play our football games like after school on the field when nobody was there like on a Saturday or Friday, you know? Dude, Friday football after school. That was so sick.

We had like a club. Yeah. 19 bands. That got passed down too. That was an actual thing. Yeah. So where we grew up, went to school,

this classic just Catholic Catholic school with the goat farm football field right outside the church like right by it. And Fridays, dude. Yeah.

Like you'd be hype because it was Friday. You're getting out of school. You know you don't got to be a practice. You don't, got to be back at home, like you're probably going with some homies before you go to the high school football game. Insane lineup. Dude, Fridays when you had that lineup, football out to school, going to your homies, like, going to eat and get ready for the game, then going to the game.

And the weekend hasn't even really started, dude. Yeah, that's some nostalgia there. And then Saturday you just got college football, like right when you wake up and for the rest of the day. I don't know what I'm doing. Dude, Friday football, man. Yeah, that's where it went down, dude. And Friday felt like, that was serious. And somebody was always making crazy plays, dude.

Gloves. Yeah, you had some guy that was like unbeatable for a couple weeks. You're like, Jesus, I can't even guard this guy. And he didn't even play football like for the team. You're like, what is happening? Yeah. Yeah, dude, Friday football, that's definitely going to be like a subsection of our podcast network one day. Friday football.

A quick weekend. review show. Let's go. But like when we played Friday football on the field, we wouldn't play the whole field because it was too big. We'd play like half the field in, you know? But we never marked it with anything. Like you just had a sense of,

you're out of bounds. Like, it was wild. Yeah. Yeah, it'd be 50 to the goal line at the most probably. The 50 yard line was the other goal line. Just praying, dude. just praying that you didn't just absolutely wreck your ankle before the high school football game.

Didn't play more football at the high school football game? Like you're almost practicing for the game that was going to happen at the high school game. Dude, I hope that big dude's there this time. You think he'll be there? Like you never knew who's going to show up. Dude, you know it was a big celebration for us geographically where we grew up?

It just came to mind. Big one was the Reggie Wayne in the Super Bowl caught that duck from Peyton like wide open and did that like kind of a good selly overlooked

like five pumps and then the dice roll what I thought he did exactly what that was it could have been I guess you could

yeah it could pass for that but that was a big one that took over for a little bit after that Super Bowl was he gambling investigate it. Every single player.

Dude, the Sean Merriman. That was crazy to me. Sean Merriman is a crazy. He's kind of like a Bob Sanders guy where I'm like, is he playing? Is he not?

If he does play, he's going to like blow up the whole game. Like, you just never know with him. Yeah. Dude, every time. Oh, there was a year where that was just taken over.

I remember so many, I remember so many CBA. pregame features that year with Sean Merriman and the Chargers and that would just be all the lightning graphics and the flips lights out

right right right right sometimes people we had some dudes would always do sneaky good celebrations Sam Patterson one time did the dirty bird

and like a crucial part of the game I was like that is cold bro like won the game. Dirty bird. Like we weren't even, we weren't even,

like we were going to whatever, what do you go to? Like 30, I don't know what we were going to, but like somebody's mom was there to get him so we were like next touchdown wins type thing. And even though we were beating him the whole game, he scored at the end won and just fucking hit that shit.

I was like, oh no. Wow. Hey, to have the presence of mind to do that. Yeah. Like, and he knew the game was over.

somebody's walking to their mom's van right there had the gloves on probably wearing like a hat too flippies coming out I'm like it's the coolest guy feeling good man feeling good he's definitely holding hands of some chick at the football game tonight holding hands dude and it's CYO night she's wearing his jersey you're like dude we're in seventh grade you can do that

you better get it back before the game on Sunday huge flex girls wearing your CYO jersey I'm like, yeah, I guess we're kind of a thing. Stovall Samarja. Jumping high five, meeting at the apex of the jump high five. That was a big one where we were where we were from too. Cool. Thanks, Jake.

Look forward to seeing you. Thanks for the story. Let's go to Lindsay. I love you, burpee. We got. Oh. you go. Hi, Benny and Joy Joy. I'm one of the three Green Bay burpee girls you made reference to a few episodes ago that came to Joey Shaw. We can't have hunties tagging along and ruining our fun.

Cheesehead Chuck. Cheese had chucks. That's another one of our podcast network. We have Friday football and then cheesehead chicks. A girl duo that like under the umbrella of these guys, cheesehead chicks. That is talk ball and like stupid shit. I would listen to that. Holy. Please. I'd want to be on that. And Lindsay, yeah, claim it. It's yours. A topic of conversation on a recent episode was the Christmas fireplace on a four-hour loop on YouTube. How about the Santa Tracker? Nothing gets more jacked for Christmas than popping that on late December 23rd or Christmas Eve to see where Santa is at his gift delivering journey. Smacked my ass with a pillowcase full of Halloween candy that I dumped from an entire bowl full at a house with a sign that said, please take one.

That's jackpot as a kid That's the closest you get to winning the lottery Bro if you saw that house We went to my rich Rich kids neighborhood Rich kids neighborhood on Halloween And we went like kind of early We were in eighth grade

We'd go up to some people's houses And they'd be like, you're too old to trick or treat We're like oh my God But we still did it anyway I found one of those houses That was like take one big Like jackal an bowl of king sized candy bars just robbed

them blind, dude. I kind of feel that about it. I kind of felt bad, bro. I was like, damn. I've got like 76 snickered bars in my bag right now. That's like 80 bucks. What are these people expect?

Especially back then. Hey, before ring cameras. Anything goes, babe. Hey, anything still goes with ring cameras. I'm proof of that. These guys lore. These guys' lore. Oh, yeah.

Three years ago. You remember that? It kind of pissed me off when he said it. Had that kid on the ring cameras, dad pulled up. We saw the car. Dad pulls up. It's like they had a sting operation. Like they'd been scouting out our house.

They came back late night. Pulled up, parked. Kid came up, kind of looked around. Grab the whole bowl took off. Your fault, bro. Yeah, dude. Hey, I was just eighth grade trick or treating. It's kind of like, you're kind of like on Kobe's retirement tour.

Felt like a loser, dude. Felt like a loser. We were getting called out. Oh, yeah, but you know what I'm saying? You're kind of, you're like, hey, one last go around. Like, you know this is it. Yeah. And the next year, like you feel like you're an eighth grade again because you're like a loser

freshman. You're like run it back? Maybe, maybe? I still got their cost. Hey, all the girls that used to be our friends and like, they're all going to the junior guys' house party. We're not invited. Oh, no, bro. Everything freshman year was so like homie oriented.

Why should get the mask back out in the pillowcases? Let's go. At least drive by the house that are at, like to just see what's going on, but never even attempt to go in. No, it would be like in the same neighborhood. it'd be like in the same neighborhood where you'd be trick-or-treating and you're like, I don't know. No, no, no, no, don't, don't, don't, don't.

Jake Kovulski's going to kill you. That's so funny. Hey, what if a dude? Scary, dude. Oh, yeah. What if on your last go-around, like it's a neighborhood you've been trick-or-treating your whole life? Like, just like, dude, like,

just like in those retirement tours, you know, how every stadium they play at, that's their last time, but they're going to play there. That always give them like, I don't know, like the Pacers would give them like a fucking steering wheel from an indie car or something. It was like a out of here. You know what if those houses, like those old people that you would go into your whole life, like they like pull out something from there. Hey, thank you so much for all the memories.

Pull out some shit from their house. Rip Billy the Bass off the wall from their basement. It's been an honor and a privilege. But it's like doesn't really mean anything to him, you know? Here, here's a Jonathan Bender jersey. Honestly, best gift ever. Thank you. Did he even play?

Did he play one game? Let's finish up with, gosh, got so many. How about Andrew since these guys lore? That should be interesting. Hey, guys, first time caller, a long time, listener. This email isn't going to be as funnier as witty as clubhouse emails you read in the past, but I have a request that

for you two that maybe you can do in the future. I had a couple of friends in town before my brother's bachelor party weekend and in between blindly betting on the Cubs Giants Money Line. I put on the video of Benny sharing the story of when he went to call of girls volleyball game with some guy and how their wires were crossed, leading

Benny to explain how, okay, came about it. They found it hilarious and we kind of went down a rabbit hole where they heard station out about this and the rest of the weekend anytime there was a chance we were saying okay or station about this once the rest of our friends came in and heard us saying it they were laughing and kept asking what is that and i couldn't for the life of me explain any of it that's so perfect that's so i'm so glad you get it dog man that means a world to me and also your friends who like aren't

a part of it you know that makes me almost even happier because the fact that they're like oh like that's just so perfect man wow made my night okay long story into a short question could you guys throw together a best of these guys lore explaining the background of all those references could be a good use of an episode when you need a buy week the boys love it and i'm always trying to put you guys on awesome to see joey doing the Purdue pod and benny no idea how you did two days in rochester but tell me how it was and come again soon p s had a podcast of your guys when you were describing sleepovers on a drive with my mom and she was in hysterics too Stay hot boys.

That would be lit, actually. bring them on stage get a live okay from the source from the horse's mouth oh my god I think I dude I'd pay a lot to see that

like can we just get one one so we can put at the end of our podcast clips okay maybe yeah I'm thinking maybe that's in the cards for these guys live maybe we'll I've been going

I've been going through my head of like, you know, what are we going to do this time around? Because we did it last year in Indy. And we just, you know, we threw some shit together and had fun. But I'm like now we've, we're really starting to build some like a real community here. Like this could be a, this could be nothing but just these guys origin and like actual photos and references to fully put it together. Oh, that's the, that's what we're doing, bro. A whole whole time of like, who is this guy actually? You can only figure out who it is if you come to a live show

And what's so funny now I think back to it is do you remember Do you remember we were like taking pictures and meeting different people Who were at the show last year? And the amount of times that people after we take a picture they'd be like Dude, I got to know so who is Daddy's on air? Yeah We got asked those questions a bunch of times that night I remember looking at you like, do we say it?

On December like it was like so close. to Christmas too. I'm like, dude, let's just do it. Let's risk it all. And you're like, don't say it. All right. There it is. That's, that's, for the Clubhouse, that's going to be at least a portion of the show is we're going to, we're going to reveal some of these references. Dude, Fox reveal? Fox reveal?

every single week, still, every time there's a fumble without fail, every time. Get a ball, get a ball, get a ball, get a-a-boh. It's kind of good. Like, it works. It does. And I'm even like, oh, shit, yeah, you're right. Get a-abot! Yeah, I'll throw it in there.

The origin was for basketball, actually, but for football, it's money. Get-abot, get-up, get-ab! Dude. The only thing I heard the whole game. I asked my mom after the game. I was like, am I crazy? Or was that like an alarm the whole game? She's like, no, I heard it.

And that's so good, man. And again, we keep getting more first-time emailers and then newish listeners, which is great. That makes me think like, like Andrew was saying there, that they're spreading the good word. And the clubhouse, the clubhouse is growing from maybe a dive bar to maybe we're getting, they're getting a little extendo. You know, maybe we're, maybe we're,

maybe we're opening up an outside section with the patio that plays live music every now and then. Yo. Just abandon the corner playing the ESPN rejoiner. Down. Down. Down. Now, no,
