And the Hawaii Bowl, who gives a fuck, except clubhouse, you know? That's the only thing I care about. God dang, man. It makes me so happy. The Christmas is over, bowl. Not bad for a fat guy. These guys, these guys, TG 111. Oh, Christmas tree.

What do you mean? What are you talking about? That is nice. What are you talking about, bro? Good for you. Ha, ha, ha. I was just walking. I was just, my little happy ass was just walking by the Christmas section at Target.

I saw it on sale, Christmas tree. I was like, dude. Okay. It could be on sale for $1. I'd be like, yeah, I'm buying it. Who's not buying this? Or do you have to put those lights up there? Pre lit.

Wow. Yeah, that's, so it has like the, the, what's your take? What's your take? What's your take? What's your take? colored lights or regular white lights? What do you think? If you had to pick one for the rest of your life.

I like the old school. I like the throwback. I like the red, the green, the blue, the pink, the, give it to me.

Colored lights hit so hard. White lights just your dad owns three companies we know, dude. Like your mom has all the time of the world but hired somebody to do these decorations. You're rich, dude. You're rich friend.

White like, yeah, in there, dude, your rich friend whose Christmas tree is so tall. You're like, where do they even? Did you, where did you get your Christmas tree? DXL? Hey, a rich friend that not only has a Christmas tree in the room with the presents under it, but has a Christmas tree in the entryway. That's the one. A Christmas tree in the basement.

You're like, bro, your basement tree is better than my living room tree. Dude, you ever go into somebody's house and you have, have to like ask them what the situation is on Christmas. You're like, oh yeah. So where do you guys like, where do you get, where does it go down? Like what, which tree's like the main tree? You know, you're like trying to picture their Christmas in your head. How weird is that, dude? Oh, picturing Christmas is so weird. It's such an intimate thing. But everyone does it. I mean, it's all pretty much the same. But everyone does it so differently, but also the same. It's a very interesting dynamic. I know because you're like, there's no way their Christmas has. They're

to suck, you know? Everybody thinks their Christmas is the best Christmas, though. It's like your mom's, like, you know, your grandma's like spaghetti, you know, everybody thinks it's the best. It doesn't matter. Not yours, though. I don't think I've ever been like, yeah, I wish I had, I wish I had Ben's Christmas. I don't know. Something about a Politi Christmas. I know. You don't want it. You don't want it. You don't want it. It's all over the place, bro. But like back, back when it was like, you know, when you're a kid, that Christmas slapped. I'd put my Christmas up there and the suburban Christmases.

I bet ours was like top it had to be top three in the neighborhood, bro. Had to see, but what always, what always messed me up and this is so weird, it's not a holiday podcast. We really talk about Christmas. It just so happens that it's December

and it's that time of year. So we figured, but what always messed me up is that you said that one of your sisters would just like refuse to get up. Like wanted to sleep in shit. And that was horrifying, horrifying. I can't do a sleep in.

No, sleep at sibling on Christmas. It just makes no sense. I know, but everybody's got one person in their family that doesn't like Christmas, right? Or are you just, is everybody in your family is super down or is there one person that's like... Kind of weirdly enough, but also kind of makes sense. My mom.

I just feel like moms have put in so much work on Christmas already. They're kind of over it on Christmas. Like, hey, he's in the barn, babe. Like, let me sleep in. Yeah. Yeah, it's, I mean, she, she likes it because we all get together and everything, but really, she's kind of just like, it's just such a hassle and spending money and getting everything. And then I got to be around a bunch of fun of that I got to watch Christmas movies that I don't like. My mom has a very weird list of Christmas movies that she likes and doesn't like.

She really only likes like three of them. Everything else, no. Yeah. I don't know. It is, it's always a person in your family that. hates the hassle. They're always like, I just don't,

you know what I mean? Why is that the only hassle that we like, though? Like the Christmas hassle is I'm all about that hassle. That's a new these guys thing. All about that hassle.

All about the hassle. Hassle, hassle. You're JV coach. Matt. Matt Hasselback. Let's push Tickies real quick before we get more into criminals, crimus. When we keep talking about Christmas,

13th. These guys, breaking news. So I'll see you guys out there. Bennyplice.com for tickets. Love you. Yeah, Zanis, Chicago. You've been. May. Super fun, super tight. And I know people will show out for you because it showed out for me. So good stuff, good stuff. Dude, the amount of people

that I had messaging me and sending me tweets about the Thursday night Thanksgiving game and the Sunday night game last night between the bills and the Niners was wild. People were, people were feeling the clubhouse. They were understanding. They knew what was going down. They were seeing it visually. They were seeing it. And then they were computing. Wow. This is these guys right here. Such a clubhouse game. You know? Both of them.

Wait, what was the first one he said? I don't think I saw the first one. Packers, Dolphins and Lambo on Thanksgiving night. That was great, man. Could see the breath coming out

when they're at the line of scrimmage. Dude, when they added that feature in Madden, bro, my head exploded. Just about to say that. Only one to play snow games. Only one to play snow games.

How could you not? I know. I always, people I played never wanted to play in the elements. You know, I always, I always cranked up fast track. I only,

I always cranked up the snow and I was like, what do you think? Nah, I got the, nah, all right, fine, we'll just play in,

we'll just play at noon and in perfect conditions. Fine. Play dumb game. Dome game, babe. I always played it. I always played at the Syracuse, at the Carrier Dome.

Like, you know, you could just randomly pick your stadium, but you'd still have home. field advantage like in college football video games always pick the carrier dome just because it was like sick such a weird stadium is it the rca dome i don't know yeah you know i hate i hate when football games are played in basketball stadium or arenas though you know because like half the crowd is like blocked off and you're like this makes no sense way you mean when basketball games are played in

football stadiums yeah yeah that's what i mean that's what i mean That's because that's Syracuse. Yeah, that's there in the carrier down. I got the big ass curtain. I can't stand that. That's what I mean. Yeah, like when the final four is played at Lucas Oil,

I'm like, come on, man. Like, I know you want to get everybody in there, but it's like, ew, it looks bad. Looks horrible.

And like the product, too. The depth perception, you're shooting a three from there? You know, where the fuck that thing's going? How do basketball players adjust to that? I wouldn't hear a basketball players take because I never hear it from their side.

But they have to be like, this doesn't feel right. Hell no, dude. That fucks me up just thinking about it. I don't ever want to watch the games. In front of 70,000 people, you have no concept of depth from where the rim is to the, you know, three miles behind it where people are sitting. It's insane.

Can we just play at a normal gym? My God, the most pure gym that you can play at is just your old high school basketball. like Jim. That's that's the A1 number one most comfortable place to play. Yeah, it's like if you took the Super Bowl, you know how the Super Bowl they usually like to have it in a warm weather place, a nice destination or climate controlled or it's in it.

They want the best possible conditions for the biggest game. And then March Madness says, actually, you know what? For the biggest game, we want the most fucked up situation. Yep. Put it on a ship. when they had that basketball game on the ship Michigan State played somebody yeah the floor was sweating definitely Gonzaga

hey Michigan State and Gonzaga just kiss already like we know we know hey Gonzaga get another sport God dang it's not even a school it's just a basketball team nobody goes to school at Gonzaga it's a private school for basketball that's it they don't take classes

basketball school It's a basketball team. Just an AAU team. Hey, big congrats to there were so many. Yeah, dude, what By the way, back in the day when you used to play in like travel hoops, AU hoops when you're in 6th grade and whatnot,

I feel like there were so many Gonzaga ripoffs. There was like three bulldogs in every tournament and they all had kind of the same color scheme. Use the bulldog logo. How come there's one bulldog? Orson? The fuck. How come there's one bulldog that every school has to use?

You can't make a new bulldog? There's George. Georgia's bulldog, and then everybody else has Gonzaga's bulldog. But Georgia also has the Packers G. So I'm like, what is happening here, bro? That's just what I was about to say. Everybody, you made the point about the bulldog. There's only one G.

Why is there one G? Can we get away? I drove by Greenwood High School again. Greenwood mentioned. I was like, oh, I'm passing Lambo field, I guess. What's insane? 1G. Let's block it up or something, you know?

Let's get some textile on there. I don't fucking know. Isn't somebody a little upset at Georgia or the Packers? Like, it's not even crossing your mind. Like, that's our shit, dude. That's actually ours. And you're just, you change the color? Hey, we still know that that's ours,

even though you change the color. That's so funny to me. Hey, real quick, what do you think about the, what, so Thursday night, you had Packers and their traditional homes. And dolphins and their throwback whites, all white, white helmet, white jersey, white pants. And it looked good. But I talked about it with a few people who DM'd me because they were hitting me up about clubhouse game.

And I said, I really would, I think I would have lost it. But the dolphins came out in the teal pants. Like the Jason Taylor, J. Feedler, white tops, teal pants. I appreciate them going all white because the Packers are wearing green on yellow pants, right? So the dolphins were just like, we're going to go all white to be completely like contrast. You know what I mean?

So I like that. But if they would, I do like teal pants. But I feel like they only look good with the block, with the drop shadow, you know? If the dolphins would have came out in the drop shadow like Ricky Williams era uniforms,

I'd have been like, okay, this is this is just pack fins, baby. This is pack pins on the scoreboard. Let's go. Hey, bring Dennis Miller in. They never talk about Dennis Miller on this podcast. This isn't a Dennis Miller podcast. What are you talking about?

Hey, somehow our special guest on the 18th, Dennis Miller. Everybody's like, what the hell? That would make my life. He doesn't even know. He's like, what is this? We're like, I don't know. Just shut up. Just shut up and talk about the Packers for 20 seconds, and you can leave.

Did you get my text earlier, though? I had this weird realization this morning. Oh, yeah. Like, I was putting out the calendar. I didn't respond on purpose because I wanted you to do this. Sure. Yeah. Sure.

We have the calendar on the fridge, right? Rye has one of those that is a dry erase calendar. And so we go through every month. Locked in. I like to get all our shit on there, get locked in. Yeah. And so I'm going through and I'm putting everything down. And I get to Christmas Eve and I'm super hyped because, you know, I'm writing Christmas Eve and I got like make my little Christmas trees on that shit.

But then I'm thinking, I was like, this is on a Tuesday. Huh. I was like, this is going to be interesting because it feels like the past 10 years. It's always landed on a day where you have like a Monday night Christmas Eve NFL game or a Saturday night where they have three games on Christmas Eve for the NFL or a Sunday where a full day of football is is on the slate on Christmas Eve or at least there's some NBA games or college something. I'm like, but a Tuesday? Like I know the Steelers play on Christmas Day against the Chiefs in Pittsburgh. Oh, that's a sick game on Christmas, bro. Really sick. Oh, that's my dream as a kid. I'm like,

Tuesday. What are we going to have on Tuesday? It was not going to be because literally last year, Sunday, It was Christmas Eve was Sunday and we had literally a full slate we had Dolphins Cowboys at 425 Like it was insane And so I go through my count I go through I pull up the ESPN app And I'm looking at everything on December 24th

NFL no games NBA No games So that's insane You think they'll flex something So I'm like No because it's the Tuesday And so it just throws up all the schedule and everything

And so I go man please please let there be a college football bowl game. Oh man. Just give me the worst one. I go to December 24th and the Hawaii Bowl at 8 p.m. on ESPN. Let's go. We're back, dude.

We're so back. Hawaii on Christmas Eve. Hawaii Christmas Eve. Nice to meet you. Hawaii meet Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve, meet Hawaii. You guys are going to be best friends forever. 8 p.m. kickoff, which means it's 2 p.m. in Hawaii.

So it's been dark for three and a half hours in Indy and everywhere on the East Coast. You're going to flip that on with your happy-ass drinking a glass of wine and the fire going on Christmas Eve. And it's going to be sunshiny. You're going to be like, what the fuck is even happening? But you're going to be happy. Just can Devon Best come back for one game? Remember him, bro? Hawaii's receivers.

I'm like, nothing's better than this. They had that one white guy that was number one. Can't think of them. Something Owens. God, he was great.

You know what I'm talking about? He was so, hey, only, just, just killed it on Christmas Eve. For some reason, why was that game

always like, I feel like I was watching that game at like 2 a.m. And it was live. Hawaii against Boise State for some reason. Yeah, it's the whole appeal.

God, it's so, so sick. Chad Owens. Oh, Clubhouse. You remember Chad Owens? Bro, it's so sick. Oh, my God. I just got hot. Did he play with Cole Brennan?

Yeah, he was like the little slot. But a lot of people, like Cole Brennan, goat, best ever, inspiration for my life. But people forget, dude, Timmy Chang, remember him? Like the year after Cole Brennan that, like, was in the Iceman race? I was like, what? Hawaii just factory. Yeah. I know, it's like, what's going on with Hawaii?

That would be, I thought that would be such a sick place to play college football. If they're going to like stay on that trajectory, you know, just five wide. I was like, is Hawaii good on the video game? Like, hold up. Like, hold up, you know? They have like silver dreadlocks. I'm like, this is the coolest team ever. You're going to be back in town for that week, right?

For Christmas? For Hawaii Week? Yeah. You go to Hawaii over Christmas? Yeah, just on the 24th at 8 p.m. What's up? I was just thinking about. I was like, man, that would be, you know,

my kids will probably be down by that time to sleep. We'll probably be home. You could get me, bro. You could get me on that one. I know you're not doing anything. So I was like, I wonder if any of the clubhouse, like if we did our first ever live stream on YouTube, just watching the Hawaii Bowl on Christmas,

to see you at 8 p.m. I wonder if everybody's shit going on, if anybody would, you know, maybe like four people would, but it honestly would be pretty fun. That's fine with me. Four of the best people in my life. But sometimes for holiday stuff like that, I'm like, ah, everybody's doing holiday stuff.

Everybody's busy. But nobody really is doing anything. Like, I think we could, I think they'd tune in. Tune in. It's just like it always is weird to me how it's never a computer. it in my head how so many movies get released on Christmas Day and so many people go to the movies on Christmas Day. That's never computed with me. And everybody's like, yeah, I mean, what do you have to do all day? You wake up and you do your shit and then you're just sitting there.

Because for me, I'm always like, God, I'm four Christmases running around like a fucking moron. Is that wrapped? Is that wrapped? Is that wrapped? Did you bring that? The food we got to bring there. Oh, my God. Get the kids in the car. Yeah, not only that, but I just always have had, know, I mean, I guess, you know, I'm blessed and absolutely, but I got to go to my aunts. I got to go to my grandmalls. My grandma's on the other side. Now the in-laws. I'm just like, who a fucking movie? What? Yeah, that's more like, yeah. I mean, I could. But to your point, but to your point, people have a lot more times than I think a lot of us think, have a lot more time than I think a lot of us think

on Christmas Eve, on Christmas Day. Yeah. Because not everybody is doing the four Christmases. you're in like the heat of like family Christmas right now bro you're like peak family Christmas but like once you get I don't know I don't know what point in your life it is but for me it's all the time but you know I don't have shit going on Christmas I love it dude I would I would watch a live stream on Christmas

I'd be like this is the best and that's where I'm kind of like I think it would work because I think that maybe everybody else is just like not doing shit so fuck it and the Hawaii Bowl, who gives a fuck, except clubhouse, you know? That's the only thing I care about. God dang, man. It makes me so happy.

The Christmas is over, bowl. This is really the only thing that keeps me together on December 26 is the bowl games. Dude, who's playing on December 26, bro? Just the, the Little Caesar's Detroit Bowl. that used to be on Christmas Eve too. I remember watching Purdue. Purdue and Central. Oh, it is.

Are you sure? That Purdue Central Michigan one at Ford Field, I was like, this is going crazy, dude. That was the best game I've ever watched in my entire life. Jason Werner out there flying around for the boiler.

Flying around. How come every time, every defensive coach, Hey, Scott there, fly around. Scott there and fly around. I was like, damn, I kind of want to play defense. Coach is making this sound fun.

Let's go fly around. His fingers are all twisted and cracked open. Let's go fly around out there. You know what's awesome is when you go to the ESPN app and you go to college football and up at the top they have week 13, week 14, week 15 with the coinciding dates. Then you just get to one tab and it just says bowls.

December 14th, the January 21st. They have them all like locked in, right? They have like all the bowl. yet. I mean, they have the, yeah, the names. They have the dates.

They have the dates and they have the names of them and the times, but they won't until after the championship weekend have who's playing and what. Dude, what,

what bowl game? What's the Hawaii one? Is it just Hawaii Bowl still? Yep. Or does I have a sponsor? Can't wait for this. No, literally just says Hawaii Bowl.

So pure, so clean. Love it. All right. This is the best, this is the best four-day stretch of my life. Five-day stretch.

Thursday, December 19th, 7 p.m., the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. Friday, December 20th at noon, the staff DNA cure bowl with a prime time kicker of the first round college football playoff. Saturday, December 21st, you have three straight games of the college football football playoff first round games. And then you get to the real stuff Monday, December 23rd, at 11. a.m. Oh,

Beach Bowl, followed by the famous Idaho Potato Bowl at 230. That's on the 23rd. The Idaho Potato

Bowl might be the most like bowl game, bowl game still. The last real one left. Perfect day, perfect name.

You're just like, it's Christmas. Christmas isn't over yet. Blue field for some reason. You're like, sure. Hell yeah. There's some player

on that, on one of the teams that's going to like a sneaky first round pick, I guess. He's going to move up so hard just because the bowl, yeah. And then we cap it off with the 8 p.m. Hawaii Bowl on Christmas Eve. And that's the best five-day stretch of my life. Always is.

Kind of going to the, we have to go to the mall to get something. Yeah, but the Idaho potato bowls on it. I can't really leave. Hey, you're at sports fanatics and they got that giant screen with the Myrtle Beach bowl. on?

Yeah, dude, I'm leaning on a rack of college basketball shorts just in sportsmanacs for 42 minutes while my mom's in Sears. I'm like, can I help you? Do you need to help for anything? No, man, I'm just chilling watching the best bowl game ever. I found everything I needed. Gonna get some anti-ans after this. Found everything I needed, babe. Dude, the amount of times I almost applied for a job in there.

God dang. I was like, this is the best situation. of all time. You have all cool stuff and there's a big screen TV playing the best game every time it's on. Yeah. What more could you want? God, dang. Anyways. I watched a whole

half of USC, UCLA in there one time. Probably just because they're both wearing their home jerseys. I love that. So good. I'm like, can we start doing that? Like, what law

is it that we have to follow that the away team wear white. Like just if it works out, it works out. Just wear cool stuff. I don't know. I'll tell you guys. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Congrats to your Wolverines, by the way, man. Wow. Crazy. Hey, every, every rivalry fighting on the field. Okay. Hey, but nobody threw a punch. Never. I was waiting for that one to be for that Notre Dame guys. You see that all over Twitter. I was like, yo, how bad is your hand hurt, though?

smartest school ever dude using his fucking hand to punch right at a helmet okay I thought that there was gonna be something that came out that was like you know at like Super Bowl time when somebody will do like a stunt on TV

and you're like was that just to drum up marketing you know and it comes out that like some company sponsored this stunt that you couldn't tell if it was live or fake or whatever on TV that happens in like three i thought that's what it was going to be i thought some company was going to be

like oh yeah uh we paid all of these guys through the nil and these schools somehow these programs we paid each of these programs a million dollars to disperse between their players to go plant flags and start fights and it was presented by ad t security like i thought it was going to be like i was like there's no way that all these just happened like this is not this is way too coincidental I mean, they saw one team do it. Who was the first fight? Was it Michigan, Ohio State? I feel like there's one before that.

No, it was Michigan, Ohio State. But then like Arizona, Arizona State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, they were all kind of happening at the same time. Oh, yeah, true. So I was like, did somebody on the sideline just have Twitter up, maybe, probably? For sure.

Show them, and then that started. I don't know. It was way too coincidental for me. I was like, has been something that comes out in two days that like I said is you know ADT security this is what you can avoid with ADT and it's a five million dollar program that I don't know I just just like this is fucking nuts man what is going on I kind of liked it a little bit it's like all right fine fight then you just got to stay off of Twitter and pretty much any social media app when shit like

that happens just because whatever side your opinion is there's just everybody there's just too much. Too many opinions. Too many people taking shit too seriously. Too many people, like just not everybody has to have an opinion. Not everybody has to have their voice heard on a situation that happens after a game. God dang, man. Just talk about it like regular people amongst your family.

Amongst the people you're with. Discuss. Hey, minute, minute. Did Purdue and I, you fight? No. there was no fight from Purdue in that game. There was no fight from Purdue all season long, actually. Poor guys.

It was the uniforms, I'm telling you. Purdue on the chest, take it off next year. 10 and no. Their helmets were nice, though. They did. They did do that right. The white Purdue helmets with the stripe down the middle and the black being on the side, I was like, you guys crush that.

Yeah. Yeah, I liked it a lot. Poor Purdue. I guess my minute would just be. be it would just be the kind of piggyback off of what I did like six weeks ago or five weeks ago.

Everybody, everybody. All the Colin Cowherds, the Dan Rolofsky's, the Mina Kimes, the NFL game day people, the NFL live people, everybody on Twitter, everybody talking about, I just don't see how you could go. This is really Mike Tomlin? Really? Pittsburgh? You're going

to move off Justin Fields? I don't know, man. Russ. He just doesn't have it anymore. more. Get your retweets off. Get your jokes off. Six games in. Five and one is a starter. Average in over 28 points of games as a quarterback.

There we go. Yes. Put up for over 400 yards passing. Most points of Steelers have scored since 2018 when Big Ben was in his late prime. Shave it up your ass, dude. I love Mr. All your, all your bullshit,

all your Fields PR, well, Justin Fields, he's got such a high ceiling. Yeah, bro. Well, we're taking the steps. So we're on the first floor and it's a high fucking ceiling. We got a ways to go.

All those people. God dang, man. That just absolutely drove me insane. Oh, I just don't get it. What are they doing? What's going on in Pittsburgh? What's happening? I just don't know.

Here's a choice of cheesy-ass joke about Russell Wilson. That's going to give me retweets. I'm cool. I know football. Dude. Yeah. Nine and three. Two game lead in the division in December.

And they're just getting started. started Russell Wilson just getting hot now. Three passes into his in his career as a Steeler gets the Jets. Got to go back to Fields. What? So we go 14 of 27 for 120 yards passing. Cool, man. Sheave it up your ass. So it's it. I guess my minute is that, uh, my seconds is that that Russell Wilson what was that was a subway what was that subway sandwich he had the Danger Witch?

Oh the Danger Witch commercial I love that commercial am I crazy or was that a good commercial everybody roasted him for that and I think it's because the Broncos were bad and he was not doing well but I was like dude the danger he killed that commercial

that's my those are my seconds. It was good marketing. It was great. And also just no more moving the field goalposts. No more moving the goalposts, guys. No more.

Oh, well, they can't win this way. Win that way. Oh, well, they can't win that way. Win that way. Oh, well, they get in the bar. They can't beat Lamar Jackson.

They beat him in a back yard brawl. I'll beat the shit out of them. Oh, well, they can't outscore opponents. Joe Burrow. Everybody picks the Bengals. Joe Borr or Jamar Chase. Oh, they can't do that. Put up 44 points, beat their ass.

Always moving the goal post. Okay. Just stop moving the goalpost. This is what Steve. dealers do every year in, year out. We have this conversation every single year, every single year, they're in it right at the end. And oh, by the way, now they got a quarterback in an offense that's competent. So watch out. Okay. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's why I stack up. I stack up the minutes so that then when I do one, it becomes, it's like Chris Berman's fastest two minutes. It

really feels like it's five. Like that's, that's the Mollinard minutes. You know, the people, I'm telling you, the clubhouse loves the minute. Got to get them out, baby. I watched, I forget when it was. It was, I think it was a Sunday before Thanksgiving. So I was really happy, jolly. But I was watching NFL prime time at night. And Chris Berman did his, it was on the Monday night before Thanksgiving. Yeah.

So I was Uber happy because they do it the Monday night football halftime show. They do Chris Berman's fastest two minutes. And Boomer, he dropped in the same highlight. He dropped three Vince Lombardi. What the hell's going on out here? like he did it with like he did it or it was like soundboard no bro they cut to it three of them in the same highlight package of the same game i was so happy everybody's dad just says that all the time what the hell's going on it my dad says that probably three

times a day NFL folly's on tv that's like that's like uh the stevenate that one that lombardi one is like the Stephen A one for me from a few years ago. I'm a bit sad. Actually, I'm lying. I'm quite devastated. That one, that one plays all the time. So many different ways it plays.

God, we need to put that in our intro. So bad. Yeah, but I like the station, station. Station about this? Station about this?

Station. Station about this live show coming up, December 18th? Station, how about this? Station. Station does not know about that. Station now.

Yeah, not bad for a fat guy. All right. These guys clubhouse. Team these guys at gmail.com. Dot com, dot com. Let's start with Austin. Subject line, Howie Long nightstand.

It's a great idea. Great idea. Right by your bed. Play your phone in. Sit on top of the nightstand. Howie Long's head. Yeah, it just starts at his neck and it's just his face and then the top right there, equal level to your bed, equal height, his flat top ends right there.

And there's drawers in it, one drawer is his mouth. Just put a bunch of crap in there, you know? His glasses pop out. How long has got some nice frames on him? He does. I know, man. Fox frames. I need to get new ones because...

Nah, bro, you're good. I'm sure people say... I broke mine and so I've been wearing the tape job on them here. Crazy. Crazy middle school nerd vibe. Just living in it. What are you going to do? I'm with you, bro.

Back to Austin. Hey, Joey and Benny. Got my tickets for these guys live. Wow. Yes, sir. Wife and I are coming over from Ohio. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah.

Clubhouse. Clubhouse. There we go. Come on over. Come on over, baby. I'm telling you, man. See the tree lighting. Come on over, baby.

Make it a weekend with your girl, but step out for a couple hours. For the clubhouse. He says, but what we really want to know, will Coach Pee be at the show would be a bucket lister to meet him. Can't wait to spike a grande

iced white chocolate mocha with no whip on your head. Sorry if I ruin your Santa hats. Ruin them. Coach P wants to go so bad, dude. Coach he wants to go so bad. Yeah, but he'll show up at like 815, pop his head in the back with his blue polo shirt and khakis. He's like, all right, B.

In the back the whole time. Like this. Just like it's my fourth grade soccer game. Never, never, never sitting down. Nope, never committing to anything, dude. Just always kind of might leave. you know what I mean always by the door like might

I never know might leave I get it I get it it's like standing in the back in church you're like standing in the back of church is great oh the freedom

the freedom can't wait to do that on Christmas Eve cannot wait oops got to stand in the back on Christmas Eve it's really crowded we got here a little late

didn't know so much fun back there bro So much fun. I gotta keep the kid back here. Yeah, I don't want him messing up father. It's father's Super Bowl. It's just keep back here.

I go to the bathroom and I don't want to get up and make people move. So we just got to stand in the back. By this other family that we really like and it's really funny too. You know, there'd always be a family back there that you're with that you're like, oh shit, they're back here too. It literally VIP in church right now.

You can say it. Chiller and Dylan. It's okay. No, it was always like a weird. It was like my. sisters friends family that I didn't really know but like they had like a funny dad or something that would just like he didn't have to say anything but he'd be like you know make a face and you'd be

like oh like let's go like a you know a baby makes a weird noise he makes a face at your family and you're like I love this guy I love this day I love this night. Merry Christmas to all. Yeah. Stay at the back of church. I'm always spelled bad and dad always wanted to. God dad. No, my dad uh well my dad was never there but uh bro my dad wouldn't be caught dead standing in the back very v traditional that's one thing he's not going to stand in the back for his church got to be sitting down my dad's big on the on the kneeling and praying before the mass starts i put in some hours bro how many are our fathers did i say before church started is what i want to know always reached that point where you feel good about it going down,

you know, you drop the kneeler, you're sitting there, you're kneeling, do the sign of the cross, you start off pretty strong with prayer, and then all of a sudden about 20 seconds in, you're like,

what did I, have I said that already? What's going on? Okay, I'll just keep my eyes close for like 20 more seconds, and then I'll end this. Yeah, like,

are they late? How many times can I pray for the Steelers to win today? Jesus Christ. I'd roll through all the prayers and be like, well I guess we're on extras now. Please let the Steelers win. Like now I'm just wishing for shit for like 15 minutes. Then I start feeling guilty about it.

Then I got to say prayers again. I'm like, I wish for too much stuff. I wish for that girl to like me in my grade. Like going crazy. You always try to be the wording of it though. You always try to make it not be like a wish. You know?

Please let. Just please, please Lord. Let just let your, let your hands be over the Steelers. today and guide them in the best ways possible, Lord, be with them. Not with the other team. I wasn't really beating around the bush, bro. I was kind of please let, fill in the blank.

Please let. I wasn't weird, though. I wasn't weird. Please let me get a scooter. Like, I was in there. I always beat around the bush, you know, but I was like, God's reading my mind. He knows what I'm really asking for. I know.

But at least I'd be like, I'd start up front with like that I'm so grateful. Thank you for this. and I'm going to try to do this. And then I come back with the beat around the bush of, hey, if you got time, if it works and, you know, if it's meant to be, let the Steelers beat the fuck out of the Browns.

Appreciate you. Honestly. God, and let it be like sunny this week. Please, because recess, get him a slap. That's a great point,

though, by Austin. Maybe, you know, there's a bunch of things that are opening on the table for these guys live. You know, there's special appearances,

from regulars on the show, you know, maybe coach P, maybe maybe my dad, maybe Ray, who knows, you know, who knows what could happen? You got some time to plan it out, but we'll see,

we'll see. Dallas Clark, just saying. From Christopher, alcohol to water ratio. These guys, hope all is well, and you're gearing up for the holiday season,

even though we all know you've both been ready since April. of 1999. If you're not doing that. But meeting to write back in about this after hearing you bring up the alcohol conundrum a few times, i.e. needing a better method to avoid hangovers. I'm also 100% Irish. So this has been a personal 20-year case study that I may or may not be proud to admit.

First things first, Ben is on point when it comes to the water intake. That's an absolute must. A one-to-one ratio is probably overkill unless you want to camp out in the bathroom all night. Two or three to one is a safe space. But anything beyond four to one is when he start to separate the men from the boys. Or you can try these. A recovery patch.

Yet aim. Yet aim. Yet aim. Yet aim recovery patch. Hangover patches. Life's greatest cheat code. It's not even close. It's the only way I would survive the holiday season packed with endless friends and family get-togethers.

Works like a preventative band-aid that you slap on your left arm before you dive into an extended bender. Stumbled across these bad boys a couple of years ago and they have never let me down. even had episodes where I broke all the rules not drinking any water, etc. And always wake up with the next morning like nothing ever happened. Shut up. I cannot believe these things are made a well-kept secret. Figured this could come in handy so I just wanted to do my part.

Slop my ass with a plane ticket I'm about to buy that will take me from Jersey to Indy on the 18th to go see my two heroes put on a live show that'll never forget. Let's go! They should know about this. No, Chris. Okay. Dude, buy the ticks. Man. Board the plane. Get on the flight.

Yeah, I got to see the Colts play. And I hear. weekend. I think I think some shit happens that weekend here. Like a college basketball. Let's see. Sunday. Yeah, the Colts play at home that Sunday that weekend. Let's see if there's, I'm pretty sure there's like a basketball tournament or some shit downtown indie that weekend. CYO Christmas tournament. Who's that going?

I'd rather go to that, bro. I'm just looking up. C.W. Tournament at St. Monica. I just want to know who's good in CYO basketball right now. Who's going to play in the finals of the Christmas tournament? Those are the realest teams. That's true.

It's always saying that they're sneaking in there. I'm like, wow. Man, recovery patches, yeah. They say drink wisely on them. You put them on your left arm. Interesting. 48. energy boost for fast recovery, day, night, party support.

About time. It's got like, it's got like 1,100 reviews, so may have to. Bros. pushing products. Love it. Hashtag ad. It's just his company. God damn. I mean, hey, good, it's pretty good marketing, even if it is.

But I always thought those were trash, honestly. I always kind of thought. they were fake. It's kind of like, I mean, that was a pretty great review. I believe our friend Chris here, but it's kind of like what you say about a yum yum sauce and shit like that.

You're like, come on. Like, all right, you have salmon, but yum yum sauce. Like, what are we doing? That was always kind of my thing. I'm like, you're getting fucked up. What's a patch going to do? I know. What's in the patch, dude? What's in the patch? Tell me what what's in the patch? Some Flintstone

vitamins or something? Come on. Just three chalky Fluenton vitamins in there. The amount of those I threw out my window on the way to school. Oh, really? I kind of thought there were good. Yeah, right. I put them in underneath my Pop-Tart leftovers

and I throw that shit away. You didn't like the taste of them? There's only one. I think it was a purple one. Everything else. I was just going to say that. Purple one slaved. It's good.

Dino or whatever. Maybe a fake name, but this is from steel. subject line Brad Nessler I've come around on Brad Nessler I used to I don't know why back in the day when he did Thursday night football I was like I don't know something's just not right but yeah

over the past decade with college football definitely come around wait who is Brad Nessler he's like the OG Rose Bowl voice right or no no it's Keith Jackson Brad Nessler is same guy he's on CBS he's on CBS he did SEC CBS and now he does the Big Ten he's with Gary Danielson.

Great name. Brad Nessler. Such a college football name. I know. Can't get over the SEC intro song either. Long time first time here. I love the show. Thanks, Steele. What was your go-to NCAA football 09 creative player swag? And why did the black ankle tape go so hard? Slap my ass with a pair of Newman receiver gloves. What's the NBA jam voiceover announcer sings the NFL on Fox injury timeout

music? Do you know, Hello operator I know that's NBA Street All good Yeah, the spats Always spad it up Always went white though

I would go to the alternate Yeah Like if You know if my team My created team Or if I was playing with Georgia or Ohio State or something I would go red

that's yeah you had white you had black and i'd be like let's get the red clemson purple my guy always looked a little too like created you know i was like my dude just doesn't blend like i want my guy to fit in a little bit more and then you have to decrease his swag and i'm like what am i even doing now you know my guy always had a backplay advisor tc bands glove tc gloves um the cleats that were like default number four like you know what i mean they're just a little He was, he just like was a level up. And I was like, he's a little too cool. You know, like the best running back on the game and my guy's cooler than him.

Like, it's not as unrealistic. Talking about a video game. The TC bands. Yeah, I always had those. Right here. The thin ones. Yep. I did like creating a guy.

Like, when you created a player, did you make him your name or did you give him just like, did you just create like a Italian? guy that was just like the quarterback with like a cool name. It was me because I think deep down I always knew I was never going to make it. So I was like this is the closest at all. I made me on Madden a couple times when I was younger. But then when I started doing dynasties on college football, I would just create like five guys that were just like unreal.

Cool names, six swag like pretty much like the receiver. Pretty much like AJ Green is a receiver, but a different name. Just like that body type. You know what I mean? Just like unreal. And then I would recruit. him for my team. And I was like, oh, how did I get that guy?

Just like a 6-5 Italian quarterback. Just like the coolest guy ever, dude. Just like a hundred throw power. Oops, signed him first day. It was such a, it was dude, the feeling when he signed a five-star guy on college football video game, I literally felt like a coach. I'd be on the phone with my high school girlfriend, just like, yeah, uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh, yeah. just sign in a five star. Like, look, what happened? God, phone calls with a girlfriend

back in the day. What were you doing? What was I saying? Had nothing to talk about. Hey, but all they wanted to do is talk. All they wanted to do is talk. Talk about what? I'd be on the phone for four and a half hours.

During the Iowa, during the Iowa, God, who did Iowa always play in bowl games? South Carolina. Yeah. No, there was a, fuck.

I can't remember. Tennessee. It might have been Iowa, Tennessee. Oh, no, it was the bowl game when West Virginia played Georgia. Pat White. Peak Pat White. Is it the Orange Bowl or the Sugar Bowl? I can't.

I think McAfee was on the squad too. I think it was orange. I think it was orange. Might have been Stafford. It was insane, though. Like that game. game. I was like, this is, this is a great bowl game, but I was in the closet

talking on the phone with my girlfriend for four hours. So I didn't wake up anyone in the house. And it was on like seven volume. And I just kept looking out of the crack of the door like, high scoring goal. I just had a, I just had to run it, not a run in. It was a,

where me and Ben grew up, like a lot of people that we know and grew up with ended up marrying other people that we know and grew up with. So there's a lot of like crossover where things will happen. Or really like maybe you used to like, date somebody like that from back in middle school, early high school, or took him to a dance or whatever. Now they're married to your, now you're married to your best friend's sister.

I don't know what, but I had a situation like that. I was at a great friend's kids birthday party, his son's birthday party. and he married someone whose sister is someone that I quote unquote dated in middle school and it was back on the time where you had to call the home phone right you do nobody really had cell phones you had to call the home phone and nightmare city nightmare city to talk to the dad and ask to talk to the girl and the dad was there because he's the grandfather of this kid. And so I had heard his voice.

And so it was just one of these things that you're like, oh my God, he immediately have flashbacks of like, what the fuck, you know? You hear that voice, PTSD a little bit. But it was,

it was wild people, something that the younger clubhouse wouldn't understand. Bro, that was such a nightmare. Oh, I have to call your home phone and embarrass myself. Whenever sisters would pick up the phone, I thought it was my girlfriend at the time.

Every time. This isn't her. Fuck. I don't know my own girlfriend's voice. Her other sister picked up. This isn't her. Jesus Christ. Never been more embarrassed in my entire life.

I'm like, I know you guys have caller ID. Like when it's my number, like just give it to her. Why do you have to go through this whole thing? Just part of it. It's all part of the experience, honey. Just like Clark Griswold said. And you know, I'm calling for no reason.

It's not like it's like an urgent thing. Last one here. Then last one here that I got to run quick time out from Anthony says real or fake. Fellas, how are you? Had an interesting conversation about real or fake trees and got to thinking that you could 100% tell if someone is a real or fake tree person just by their attitude. You two both strike me as real tree people because you like to have a good time. Obviously, it feels like Benny isn't in the same place for more than 72 hours. Joey has a kid.

So maybe that plays a role. But deep down, you both strike me. as real tree people. That he's on air. However, is absolutely a fake tree individual. Decorate the tree, can't on air. Water the tree can't on air. Just wanted to know if you guys felt the same.

Slap my ass as I go back in time to Christmas Eve 2011 and salsa dance in the living room after Victor Cruz caught a slant and went 99 yards against the Jets. Anthony. Yep. Remember that well. Christmas Eve, whole slate of games, Jets, Giants. That's what started the Giants running the Super Bowl. What a time, Anthony.

You're so right about that he's on air. No real tree in that house. But you cracked me wrong, man. I grew up with a fake tree. I'm a fake tree guy. I don't like that hassle. I don't like the pines everywhere. I don't like my pets getting in the tree and knocking the needles off.

I don't like having to water it. I don't like it. I just want the beautiful fake tree. I know it's going to be there. I don't got to care for it. And there you go. Yeah. I'm real.

I grew up real tree. obviously don't do real tree anymore because who does unless you're like living in a log cabin in Idaho or something, you know? Does anybody have real fake tree, realtrees anymore? More popular than you'd think for sure. Yeah, I get the tradition.

But growing up, I was real tree, bro. Super real tree. That's wild. Did it all. Vacuumed up the pine needles every 14 seconds. There was something about having a real tree in your house. I was just like, what? Like the smell.

Little Neanderthal. What are we doing? Real tree? Are we going hunting later? I was always kind of like, what about bugs? You know, there's got to be like a spider in that tree.

And we're just bringing it in. Squeezing it through the front door. It was always like, are we going to lose half the needles? I was always kind of, eh. Picking out a real tree, though,

bro, nothing like it. You might have to do that one year with the fam. I know you won't. Yeah, we tried to do that the first year that Frank was here, his first Christmas, and because Riley grew up with a fake tree or real tree. So I was like, all right, fine for the kid. Yeah, I'll do it.

And so we went and we did it and we brought it back, strapped it on top of the car, did the whole thing, got back within like two days. There was just so many needles everywhere. The cats and shit. I literally took the tree, chucked it over my head,

like the grand shout to the backyard. Yeah, the way I want to see that, like ring doorbell footage of you doing that. Oh my God. Oh, holy grail footage. Maybe at, not top 10. Not top 10. Dude, the not top 10 went so crazy on Fridays. Oh, my God.

Bring that back. Does sports center do? Yeah. I was like, you know. Part of me, I forgot every time it was not top 10. I was like, oh, top play. Oh, it's not top 10. All right, not really that mad.

What happened? You know what I mean? It was always like, number one was always funny. Maybe these guys live, right? I can dig up that footage and I can show it at helium on the 18th. But I got a wrap because Rice got a goal and I got to take care of the kids. Go ahead and go.
