THESE GUYS! - TAYLOR SWIFT WEDDING + WHITE PARTY + 10 SUNDAYS TILL NFL

Episode Date: July 7, 2026

There is nothing quite like finding the 2K room at a college house party, only to realize the sanctuary has been compromised by a girl with a Gatorade and pink bottle of Burnett's. We map out the chokehold NBA 2K, Call of Duty, and Super Smash Bros had on our lives, plus the genius invention of wearing Nike Vapor "dip gloves" so you didn't F up the PS3 controller 🤓The clubhouse also tries to figure out how Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift drove away from their wedding in a Chevy Avalanche with Four Loko cans dragging behind it. We pitch the ultimate pro athlete sitcoms, from Gronk blowing up houses with Ty Pennington to Jeff Saturday dominating the TV dad demographic. Plus, we debate the best sounds in history, the panic of your parents doing insider trading at back-to-school night, and the reality of having to read 3 chapters is 1000% not real homework.

For those you here ago. For those you here going back and listening to the evergreen pods, we might have. But when me and Beny first started doing work together

and everything, every now and then I would ask him something and I'd be like, I'd be like, so you're thinking for this video, you know, we should get wigs or well, actually,

if I said that, he'd be like, yeah, I'm already at Party City. That's a different origin story for a different time. but there'd be times right to ask a question like that

and he's like, I do do while he was kind of thinking about it and I was like, what is that? He's like, well, he's like this dude that this dude who worked at not our station but another station. Station by stations.

That he worked for. He said that he just like, I'm pretty sure you said that that's just how it sounded when he said, I don't know. Yeah. And so you would be asking, you'd be asking him something at your job or your internship or whatever.

Like, you want me to cut this package? Like, do this as a live shot. And he'd be like, I don't do. But he, I dodo.

You exaggerated. And I look around the office. Just be like, anybody else hear that shit? I hate it when nobody else hears. I'm like, you heard that, right? I look around everybody is just locked in their computers.

I'm like, okay. Guys just making up words over here. And we're listening? Uh-huh. So it comes out every now and then. It comes out every now and then. And you have to hit it at just the right time.

But, you know, you can't, you can't do it too much. Every now and then if Benny will ask me something and I hit him with, I dodo. It'll go pretty well. So another one in the arsenal. We're just trying to get all you guys divorced or broken up with. Another one in the arsenal for your girl. So like divorce fuel.

New podcast. Divorce fuel. divorce fuel right after intentional talk on these guys network bro sick podcasts i'm listening to every show bro intentional talk so yeah but they're a little bit divorce fuel for you they just make up names for podcasts that don't exist well the way what is these guys about your girls asking you that's where you just go um ab do do do

So what does that mean? Okay. Oh, what's it on? Is it on like Apple Podcasts? China's shaking. Just all those. She drops her keys, get them up. And then she just kicks you out of the house for good.

Hey, as you're walking out. My ass will be back. It's time stamp. Woo. Feeling good. Coming off 4th of July weekends. Summer's over, feeling good. That will be on a hot start.

Hey. Hey, 10 weekends to football. Hey. Speaking of New York as well, were me and you the only guys in sports media and football that weren't invited to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's wedding? Oh, my God. I only saw AI pictures of it.

Is there a real picture of it? Maybe I'm lost. Man, a few of them got my ass. I'm not going to lie. Really? And I'm not going to lie too, dude. I was kind of locked in. Really?

Like, are you ever, are you ever around, like, I don't know, and I never will know, your dating situation. Me neither. But are you, are you ever around a girl when something big in pop culture, but kind of like in their world is going on? And they're all like, can't get off TikTok, can't get off Instagram. I'm constantly refreshing, like, oh my God, there's so much tea, like blah, blah, blah. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. That was kind of me on Friday night. Stop you mid-sentence. Wait, shut up. Wait. Shut up. And you're like, what? Shut up.

Huh? What is that? Did somebody die? Alexis is not coming back to Summer House. Okay. But that was. No, that was, dude, that was, uh, oh, okay. I was kind of in, man.

My algorithm was feeding it to me on Instagram. Every single thing. I was kind of like, who's there? Did somebody, did somebody sneak a photo? Dude, when I saw that Adam Sandler officiated their wedding, I about jumped off the roof of my house. I didn't know any of this. I was, I think I was the opposite.

I think I was the opposite. I was like, I was more locked into the all white, party, I think. Was that the same day? I think so, bro. No way, because I had to have some crossover there. People who were going to be going to Swift and Kelsey's way. I think it was like two days apart or something or one day apart.

Not that I keep up with those two. Not that my whole life revolves around celebrities at parties. I was locked in, the mystery of it all. Like, is this really happening? What's going on here? Like they really took all of Madison Square Garden How many people are coming? They sell it out

They'd be crazy Yeah, our tickets sold? Live Nation Live Nation Yeah, by that Dude, I heard they drove away In a Chevy Avalanche Four Lococans

what is the? All right. More prior to it. Hey, got put butts in seats. Okay. Oh. That's a Taylor Swift and Travis.

Kelsey, they take a massive square garden and fight everybody they know. But they don't know me. You want a real wedding? A real wedding. Get out there and shake my ass to play some funky music, white boy. Okay. Royal wedding. This is America.

This is fueling my docket's fire, bro. Just when I wanted to say, stop. I wanted to start more. I'm like, I gotta stop doing this. Why is everybody told? Why are they talking about the wedding? It's America's birthday. Oh, yeah, it's time stamp.

Big weekend. Yeah, big weekend out there. You had the, you had the. And yeah, I mean, so it's going to be Taylor Swift's and Travis Kelsey still. Like, she's not going to go like Taylor Kelsey. I hate that. No way. Taylor Kelsey. It was pretty cool, though, man.

It kind of like, I'm not going to lie, when I saw that, obviously, Jason Kelsey was going to be his best man. But he was the only one they had, like, kind of in the wedding party, apparently. Like, I don't think they had a whole big wedding party. I think they had just, like, Jason Kelsey, and then Taylor's brother were up there with him. Yeah, is Jason Kelsey, Marty Gileard, Tony Pike. Kenyon Martin Kenyon Martin and Lance Stevenson

That was Travis Kelsey's Would be hard A born ready In MSG too Has the ring Bob Hungins Officiating Bob

It's me Cats Nation Let me hear you Big Carhart Coat Wedding, instead of a wedding tucks, big car heart. Yeah, it's like the first ever, it's like a car heart tucks the first of its kind. Hal like this.

Bid. I had the Kanye sunglasses on. I do, I do want to get fucked up after this. he really would he really would say something like that I guarantee it I just have so many questions too it's like what's going on

you know talk about a cocktail hour holy shit yeah that reception probably banged you can't really like you know cocktail hour at weddings It's all about like sticking and moving, you know, like stick a move, stick a move. Is cocktail a entry, a wedding just a reception?

Or my trip on the different thing? No, God. You are, you know, it's different. Cocktail hour is the little break in between the wedding and when they're getting all the shit ready at the reception. So you do the wedding. You have cocktail hour. usually like the standing tables and shit you know you're going

and that's where you catch up with everybody oh yeah well hey oh well Mr. Baker it's so good to see you been so long you know like that kind of shit yeah and then and then the reception start you go find your seats

and everything and that's when the whole thing gets going yes sir I mean but what's key at those situations situations is again stick and move stick a move hop and dodge I got to know my entrances. I got to know my exits. All right. What am I hopping out of this thing? What's my

entrance line of this person? How do I? Okay. Man, all the people there. Plus, there's like 1,500 people there. A lot of daps. What's going on there? I mean, geez, like, oh, George Kittle. Whoa, Joe Buck. Oh, Aaron Andrews. Oh, Ed Shearin. What? What's up, Paul McCartney? Can't wrap my head around it. White Party, honestly, kind of the same. Yeah. I wouldn't I need name tags bro I would not be able to do that can I get your gamer tag over your head

real quick the hell is that I would be talking to people and not even know it's them yeah I'm talking to something fucking weirdo over here you're like bro that's Justin Timberlake oh yeah 100% that would be you yeah but it wouldn't be no it would be like Justin Timberlake

it'd be like I don't know the CEO of like a major company or something like Jeff Bezos I'd be like Yeah, this guy was bald He kind of was He had a really intense laugh Kind of weird

But like I kind of liked him I'd be like yeah dude That was fucking Jeff Bezos That's why it's gotta be bro We're kind of boys I think this is a perfect summation Of our pod though in a way Because I know that you would have rather

Go on the White Party I would have rather been At Taylor Swift's wedding Yeah no weddings bro Often Even that one Optin out No thanks

Thanks. I'm good. Maybe next time. What's the beep? Hey, you know what? Taylor really missed out. She should have had you polite cat calling out in front with all those people. I was thinking about that.

You should have just fucking went. I should know the date. But yeah, we're gone. I should have pulled up. Damn, girl. Dude, everybody else is like, like Emily Aketa, the Today's show and good morning like everybody was there

than all the paparazzi and shit you could have got a nice whole spot right there outside MSG should have asked DM Travis Kelsey Hey bro we make funny every three weeks but

cool if I pull up type shit There's a really good chance that Travis Kelsey knows that we has seen the clip that we make fun of him has to

come on babe we're no slouch over here going back to going back to TG in the winter when I told the story about Super Bowl 60 weekend when I was out there when we were out there and I was

hanging with Jason Kelsey that night and I was partying with him and we were like I didn't say I didn't ask anything about Taylor Swift I didn't say nothing about Travis but Jason and I was talking and yeah we were talking

and this was a cool moment because I was for multiple reasons, but it was a cool moment thinking about it of him being the best man at that wedding right there because at one point, Jason Kelsey said, yeah, dude, Trave would love to be here with you right now.

So he's... Just being nice. He's seen that clip. He's seen us making fun of the Gorillazzo and the Chevy Avalanche. I guarantee it. Nice. Jason know about this?

Jason. Jason. Jason. Jason. know about this. Yeah. Did you know it was the 4th of July though? Did.

Didn't look outside one time during fireworks, but this is what I did on 4th July, bro. So a big clubhouse day. Yep. Woke up, worked out immediately. Desert the whole day. But the night before

planned this, I knew all the used video game stores were going to be closed on 4th of July. So on July 3rd bought N.C. football 2007 Jared Zabranckey on the cover played it the whole day yesterday. Whoa. Me and Logan just battles, randoms and battles,

bro, the whole day. Wow. Crazy. Then just eating cheesecake in between. Boom. Okay, we're going to go to pinks,

get a hot dog. Boom. We're going to have some cookies. NCA the whole day. Oh my God. Throughout. Yeah. The most bougie coffee ever.

It was a, I'm not saying no day, but, but the focal point was just Happy freaking birthday America. That's what's all about right there. Nice day out. Heard the fireworks. It's good for you. One of the best days I ever had. You just did randoms?

You didn't do like, you guys didn't campaign it? No, we did. He was like, we got to do Michigan, Notre Dame. And I was like, all right, all right, all right. We got to do that. But then the rest of the games were just like, you do four randoms and then you stick with one of them or like the tune, yeah.

That was it when you got down to the last random? That was, you had to stick with it. Well, that's like you do three randoms. You can pick from those three. Okay. And then on the fourth one's like, right? That's it.

Spin a death right there. You're, you're Eastern Michigan. And sorry. Yep. Where was the Notre Dame Michigan game? Where'd you play it? Big house.

Dude, I forgot like crowd noise on those games is like a factor. It's so much easier playing at home. And like you try to call an audible, bro. Good luck. The receiver. Nestler is going for the audible. Have it some communication issues. The audibles again.

You ever just do that where you just like do the audible or you try to get your receiver to go in motion? You just be doing the little ass smack. Fake motions? The polite ass smack from the quarterback under center. Sentiment motion again. You ever do that? Just do that all the time. Backyard football, though.

07. So Michigan. They're just there. They were still there? Mario Manningham. No way. Mm-hmm. Holy.

So then that must have meant that Brady Quinn and Jeff Samarza were at Notre Dame. No, it was like Notre Dame down year. I don't even know who their quarterback was because no rosters so it was like

QB number 12. I don't know that was weird. John Carlson tied in maybe we were trying to figure it out. Oh, yeah. Maybe it's 07 though.

Maybe it's 08. I can't remember. I think it's 08. Probably. Yeah, because Zabranski did the I can just get it. No, no, no.

NCI 06 is Reggie Bush. NCO 7, duh. NCAA 07 was Desmond Howard NCAA was Debransky So they just like talk about video game athlete coverage? Yeah EA Sports

It's pretty good, dude. Oh, I like, yeah, I like. I can't get behind the name on the front of the chest. Just bring me back to Reggie Ball

Georgia Tech Unis. Hey, kind of the same situation with the Notre Dame gold. Reggie Ball, Georgia Tech helmet gold. I like. I like these, though. Do they have some things that they could fix? Yeah. But all in all, I think they look pretty good.

Um, unremember. What's up? Dripin or tripping. Penn State's new uniforms. Hey, new uniforms. Can't redesign a classic, man. It's the same thing. Literally it's the same thing.

They just have Adidas. They're Adidas. The state's Adidas. I know, bro. Trust me. But Adidas really stealing the show by putting their logo right here so big. I'm like, ew.

Can we make it about the school for a second? Under them are doing that too. And also notice it, not a local podcast, unlike Indiana basketball jerseys Adidas is like no thanks bro nothing makes more sense than Indiana University being

Adidas God when they were Nike they were actually cool imagine that but yeah really like the era of teams putting like a tiny little logo right here in the home plate

God it looks so sick And then the jersey sponsor is just like over here and we're good. What happened? What happened to the game? What happened to callers? What happened to collars? It's all a big corporate game now, Politi. Collars look like toilet seats.

Ooh. All a big corporate game and they are footing the bill. So they're going to put that logo wherever they want. I'm saying Georgia Tech. Ripin, go back to Russell. Damn. Russell was real for a minute. You want to have some real balls?

Yeah, you want to really stand out? Throw that Russell Athletics on there. Russell Athletic Jersey, cutters, gloves, Nike cleats. Let's play. That's football. Let's play in downtown Atlanta with the worst traffic of all time, like two inches away from our stadium.

Every time you're in traffic, in Atlanta. Oh my gosh, where Georgia Tech plays. Pretty crazy. I'm like, it's right there. I'd go to school there. Dude, never forget.

I will never forget that Notre Dame Georgia Tech game in 06. It's like week one, Notre Dame at Georgia Tech. I just never forget the overhead shots. I was like... Right there.

People step outside on one side of the stadium. They're walking into oncoming traffic. I love stadiums like that. Put it in the middle of everything. Stadium's right in the middle of stuff. Yes. I hated like when they show like New England Stadium from an overhead shot

and there'd just be like a bunch of parking lots around it. I'd be like, sounds fun to go to that. I know. That's why all these owners now are smarten up and they're like, oh yeah, actually, we're just going to make our own city. Town.

Yeah. It's just not real. Yeah, that does make way more sense. It's way more fun. We'll make our own city. These guys city? We've already pretty much done that. Just college diners with old legends working there.

Clubhouse bar. It's got to that pancake place. What pancakes? Pancake place. Place where Jerry Stackhouse works. The flapjack house. I actually saw the Cubs do this and I was a little jealous, but they had a segment where it was called PCA's PSAs, PSAs,

like Pete Carl Armstrong's public service announcements. I was like, okay, yeah, that would go. You work with that in the clubhouse town. I'll listen to that. Uh-huh. Now we're talking here. Let's go to the clubhouse. We got some good ones in here.

We've got people reach people reach now Team these guys at gmail.com Or do you have any more dripping or tripping? Nah, we're good. Actually, real quick, Georgia Tech. Is it black or midnight blue? Midnight blue. Yeah?

Yeah. Navy a little black. It's a tough one sometimes. My colorblind? When, uh, when Georgia Tech could bring out the midnight blue. heavy jerseys. Yeah.

You're like, ooh, I didn't know. Something crazy happening. Kind of sometimes like when LSU wears purple. I'm like, wait, whoa. Yeah. LSU only wearing white. I'm like, what the hell is this? How come LLU only wears white, bro?

There's some tradition with it, but I can't remember. I'm like, it's so ugly. I'm bringing the purple out though Yeah Nice That's hot Georgia Tech I like white pants

Midnight blue jersey Gold helmet I don't need the midnight Blue pants With the midnight blue pants with the midnight blue jersey Uh Sometimes maybe But white

Triple mismatch White Navy gold Yeah It's gonna Chick-fil-A before the game All right, team of these guys at gmail.com from Julian Julian says Ocho Cinco sitcom

Gentlemen, long time fan First time emailer I was on a walk the other day with my wife and her family through their old neighborhood when we ran into their old neighbor who asked what are you guys doing here to which I almost replied not a reminiscent walk

I quietly chuggled to myself for realizing that I even if I explained to them why I was laughing, it would make this situation worse because station does not know about this. Anyways, the other day I was watching Riba reruns, underrated show. And I thought, how cool is it that Riba McIntyre

went from country star to having her own hilarious show? So I have to ask the clubhouse, which pro athlete from your childhood would you most want to have their own sitcom? I think Ocho Sinko, Shack, or Marshawn Lynch would have a fucking hilarious show as TV dads. I completely understand if you feel uncomfortable answering this question on the pod because the pot is absolutely nothing to do with sports,

so why do I even ask? That too. Yep. Smank my ass with Alex Ovechkin, Washington Capitals jersey that I asked for from Santa, but instead of Ovechkin, I wanted my name put on the back, question mark, only to open it on Christmas morning to find my last name spelled incorrectly.

P.S. I explained Hunty to my wife. wife as best I could. And now when I do it for her, whenever I'm helping around the house, she actually laughs out loud. Oh my God, bro. Oh my God. Protect her with your life. That is insane. Real one. What an accomplishment for Mrs. Julian. Real one. And more so even you. Yeah, dude. For you even to have the courage to bring that up, big dub. But then to keep doing it. Like, you must do it

pretty well. You guys must love each other. Or... Or just the fact that... Yeah, she just gets it. She gets a show. That's beautiful.

Shack would clear, bro. A sitcom with Shack in it. He's so funny all the time. Hasn't Shack already done this? I mean, I feel like it has had to happen. Shack's done every brand.

every brand deal ever, Shaq. Not a local podcast, but Shaq is apparently DJing as a neon cactus after the Purdue Notre Dame game in West Lafayette in a couple months. Okay. I bought tickets to Shaq DJing thing

one time in the indie. He didn't go or something like that. And I didn't go either. So I was like, I'm pretty sure, like, he's done this. He did it at the Indy 500. He's supposed to be at the snake pit.

He didn't No And it's so funny Because nobody even cares It's like I'd Shaq Try like Free throws or something I think

Everybody Book books him Just so they can like post about it To Yeah Work up some Some PR and some engagement And then just knowing

Full Well that he's not going to come No one cares either It's never What are you going to say to Shaq? Nothing. Nothing. It's almost almost like whatever. Hey, if you can make it, we'd love to have you. Shack more popular than

Jesus. Dude, most popular athletes ever, Shaq, one? One name. MJ. One name. Yeah, but it's like, what Shack has going for him is that people know how dominant. Not a Sports podcast.

People know how dominant and great he was, but he's not in the goat debate. So you're not going to have the visceral reactions of 50-50 on either side, you know, whether it's LeBron or whether it's MJ or some people, you know, even Kobe. Like people are just like,

yeah, it's just universally awesome. Unless he's beating the shit out of Scott Pollard and, the 2000, or not Scott Hollard, beating the shit out of the Pacers at 2000. than the NBA finals.

Scott Pollard. Brad Miller. Yeah. Austin Crozier. Just nothing. Nothing you could do. Yeah, I was going to say, everybody loves Shaq except for my dad

from a two-week stretch in the summer of 2000. And he hated him more than anybody in the world. Shack would be a good sitcom dude. Hey, I've got one staring you right in the face. Paid Manning. Mm-hmm. Sitcom dad. Dude.

Pretty good. Yeah. Blake Griffin? Funny. Funny. Funny, low-key. I think Blake Griffin actually has, like, acting chops. Like, I think he has desire to not be just, like, sitcom, like, what do you mean?

I was supposed to take the trash out. I didn't know what I was talking about. A kid. You know, like, I, like. I think that he actually wants to be in like a Ben Affleck movie. Is this Blake Griffin, dude? Is he an improv? I swear.

I'm like, damn, he's good. Hey, Travis Kelsey? For sure. He was already in, uh, he was in some like horror story show on FX. Jeff Saturday? You want to get the 42 to 62 to 62 woman demographic? All moms. You're selling a lot of dove products.

42 to 62 women and 35 year old guys called the clubhouse. For some reason, all watching this Jeff Saturday show. Jeff Saturdays? That's what it's called. Yeah. Show about a Saturday. He plays himself, but everybody else in the show is a fictional version. You know, it's like one of those types.

Kind of like Reba, I think. That's what that shit is. Like, she's just called Reba in her own show that's called Reba. Jeff Saturdays. Oh. I'm trying to think of some baseball guys. Hey, Brett Farv. Sitcom, empty living room.

Who walks in the door? Mike Piazza. Mark McGuire walks in the living room. Oh my God. Stupid, dude. You're watching a sitcom on WGN and Carrie Wood just walked in the living room? No, it would have to be,

somebody from like the 04 Red Sox or something. It'd have to be like Kevin Malah. Kevin Mallard, set in Boston. He's a bartender. It's just a, it's just a shitty, like, revamp of cheers. Kevin Millar always has a white towel over his shoulder at the bar. Plaid shirt, sleeves rolled up.

Gotta be some kind of sitcom with Troy Aikman in it. Are these guys talking about sitcoms or guys that have crushes on again? Here we go. I'm surprised there hasn't. I'm sure it's coming, but I'm surprised there hasn't been one of McAfee. I mean, ooh, there we go. Mm-hmm. You know?

That'd be pretty solid. Trying to think of underrated funny guys that are funny, but like they don't really, like, I don't know. They're not like in the spotlight as much. What? Yeah, it wouldn't be a sitcom, though. McAfee's probably like that too. Like, you know, Gronk would have some sort of like,

me and my brothers have a whole house that we have to demolish in under 24 hours. Like it'd be some stupid, like, yeah, I mean, it'd be something like, Mr. Beast, gronk, like, it'd be something like that. That's a good idea. Just like gronk with like a shit ton of super soakers, you know, like. Oh my God. I would die to watch that. I would literally, I'd buy that. Dude, a gronk super soaker line, actually.

You know how like, yeah. That'd be cool. What's his face with the biggest, bulkiest, like, fucking cannon. Well, Super Sockers are like cool, but they need like a refresh. Yeah. It's a good idea. McAfee, I don't think it would be a sitcom either. I think it would be like a real world true life thing.

Yeah, but anything with Grunk, it's just like, you know what? Ultimate crossover, Gronk and Ty Pennington. Grank blowing up houses on HGTV. Yeah. Lock it up. Come on. Hey guys, I'm Todd Pinnington. And I'm Grank.

Today, we're blowing up houses. With this big sunglasses. Yep. What are those called, bro? No idea. I can't think. Working man's goggles. No, like the ones that are like...

Industrial? like riffraff Yeah I can't think of the name Anyways Julian Congrats on the nuptials And you keep being

Hunty out there But you're a hunty Bad bad bad All right this is from Brandon Brandon says Jason Terry So So boys

Brandon from Florida here First time long time Either either one of you have a video game. You and your friends absolutely obsessed with in high school. For me, class of 15, it was FIFA and ultimate team more specifically. When you factor in all the hours after school on weekends, summer and snow days, etc.

I could argue we spend more time playing that game than anything else. Nothing like competing to create the best squads, ripping some packs, and getting angry. Enough when you lose to throw your controller at the wall. So your mom has to yell, it's just a game. She'll never understand. Anyways, boys, appreciate the pod and come to South Florida. soon. P.S. slap me harder than Brandon Jacobs trucking

Loran Landry on Thursday night football in a 2008 season opener. Sent from my dad's hand-me-down original iPhone that made me look like a rich kid at 2010. Damn, what a baller moved by your dad. Giving you the old phone?

Old iPhone? I got I got a hand-me-down. With the gray back? I got to hand me down. Probably about that time. Probably, yeah, like 2011 or so. First iPhone change your life, bro. Never going back.

Never. It's made everything so easy. Uh-huh. Yeah, I mean, Ben, good thing. We started out the show like we did there, Brandon, because that's a game that we were all obsessed with and constantly played. NCAA football. I don't know why.

Was everyone else like that? Like, why, why was it, it was so, it was the thing we did? Yeah. Even basketball guys, like that didn't really like football that much. We're still playing NCAA football. It was just like, why was it so much fun? I think it's the pageantry, and I think it's the chess match all game, too. You know, I think, though, that my answer would probably be 2K.

Dude, the way that NBA 2K absolutely took over our lives from 2012 to 2017. Same. I mean, just games after games after games, constantly, you know, you'd be with two or three year buddies. Yeah, you run on the gas station. you come back play some 2K what else is going on anybody doing anything I don't know you're playing 2K

I think we can go do this cool you go over to this person's house they have 2K you're playing 2K you're at a party girls are outside 2K I mean it was a big freaking deal man

yeah just hear the burning out controllers who's your who's your team on 2K comments comments you know comments Comments, yeah. I was always around it, and I did.

Like, I had my fair share of playing it. Wasn't ever my favorite, though, because I was like, dude, we are doing this so much. And I honestly wasn't that good. But I was just like, Jesus, this is a lot of 2K. Mm-hmm. I thought I was good. Then I went to college and the best of the best.

Like in my dorm, I feel like, I just played this random dude. Yo, let's run some two. All right, cool. Probably, you'll probably beat this dude. 30 piece to me. A little bit of a rude awakening. Nuggets. Aaron Afalo.

Cooking. I was like, I don't, I'm, I'm kind of done. You ever get beat so bad in 2K? You're like, I don't think I'm going to play video games anymore. Oh, yeah. That was my life, dude. And George Rees. And George Reeser just absolutely just bodybagging me.

He would like toy with me. Yeah, guess I got to find a new hobby. I don't want to do this ranking here, but I'm trying to get up all the, like, I just distinctly remember because like 2K to up until that point, I knew about it, but the premier basketball video game growing up, for me and my circle at least,

was NBA Live. Live really fell off. They had like a 10 year, like, run and fumbled. Yeah. And like the one with, Carmelo Anthony on the front. I think it was NBA Live 03.

Used to run that all the time. And so we never thought about 2K. And then all of a sudden, like going into my senior year when Michael Jordan was on the cover of 2K. That was a crazy one. You had to buy that. It was like, I mean, just overnight, seemingly everybody was just playing that, had it.

And then from there, that was that run. Yeah, going into college. Like I said, you'd be at, you know, varsityville. Now a local podcast. You'd be at varsity villas down in Bloomington. and you know there'd be somebody having a house party jay i love bad bitch that's my fucking problem idiot i like the fuck i got a fucking problem and then like you hear that blaring out in the front room and a handful of you be crowded around a tv and one of your buddy's bedrooms playing 2K

it's the pregame during the party it was like a 2K break people have like smoke breaks and you have like 2K breaks it was nice to find that room at a house party. Very nice. Oh, there. Let me see what's going on. Really comforting. Always felt invited.

Really comforting. Because like sometimes you just needed that. I got to like step back here. It's getting to be a little too much out there. Mm-hmm. I'm going to take it. Jimmy Pearlie just got punched in the faces bleeding everywhere. I'm kind of freaked out.

I got to go 2K room. Real quick. Should I have helped him? You're like thinking about shit while you're watching 2K. Should I like had his back? We weren't really like friends like that, but like, should I have... Right, but we did like grow up going to the same schools. We were like in the same group for stations that when you're during two days.

Two days stations, bro. Stationed to two days? Those days sucked. Dude, 2K room though? You would... It was so comforting until you look in there one time. And then one of your buddy's girlfriends would be in there. You're like, I got to go.

She's like made herself too comfortable in there too. You're like, you're not supposed to be in here. Yeah. This is like guys only room. Like. Yeah. To a couple that's like so going to get married, you know? Gerbach.

Sophie's made her way into 2K room. She's like on the bed with a dog petting it. I'm like, oh, you're not leaving for a while. Guess I am. Yeah, she has her own setup in there. That was like a little fucking her like, hey, he can't be serious. Has her has her, uh, has her fucking like pink Gatorade and her and her peach burnettes glass. Dude girls.

College girls and burnettes. Kid over it. Just sitting there. She has tried to have one of her friends in there too. so it's like not just you know Sophie being Sophie but you just tell that friend doesn't want to be in there at all

yeah do you want a shot like I don't want to hang out with you guys can't mess up the sanctity the 2K room man you know what that's for that is for sure the guys that don't really want to be at the party

but they're at the party the guys who don't really want to be at the party the guys who are stoned for dipping and for 2K that's it my girl's out there dude you have a pouch

sneak it into the 2K room for a little for a quick little buzz dude varsity violas oh shit dude if my girl catches me

it's like she's gonna get so mad girls I hated so much she found a bottle on the way down here already, man. On the ride down, she found the bottle. I had to blame it on you. I had to blame it on you. And you're like, damn.

Now she like doesn't like me kind of. Damn. I was always taking the bullets, bro. For the guys with their girlfriends, I was like, all right. And she was me. Then she opens up the door, calls him by his whole name. It gets real serious and your homie laughs. Like,

Yeah. A weed kid. Weed kid is in 2K room. Yeah, he's fucking totally Stoned. Looks up, doesn't even know she's there. She starts laughing.

You're like, God dang it. His face. A weed kid has become weed friend in college. You know, he's a weed kid in high school, but now you're down in college.

So he's a weed friend. He's kind of like the plug. Well, I know this one dude from high school. He can like hook us up. He's like, like an entrepreneur and stuff sell supplements

yeah she fucking pokes her head in there James Jeffrey whoa we're going full name God that sucks Elvis Costello Gerbach bro you better go go go go go

I'll play for you bro I'll keep your team alive while you get yelled at out there you just get absolutely blasted you forget your playing oh my god always getting beat by 33 I'm like ah oops uh my bad dude you're on your texting and stuff oh my god friend getting so pissed when you pause it to text no you don't even pause it you pause it did we always he said, do that. Hey, Joe King would be like, I didn't know this was a text game.

Okay, I didn't know. I signed up for a text game. Just two guys playing one guy like hitting a girl back and then getting back into it. Like, it's so annoying. What's so shitty though? Yeah, because Jordan Reeser was the same way.

But then he beat your ass. Yeah, he's still beat my ass. He would, like, he'd get mad, but he wouldn't really care because he'd just be beat my ass. But then at the same time, like, if a girl was texting him, all bets are off, dude.

Don't even think about saying anything. You always had like the king of the court, you know? Yeah. It was his rules, you know? His rules applied. All bets are off. Title of our first book. No, I'm just kidding.

Yeah, 2K though. 2K was, that was, I mean, our fucking life, dude. And then you mix in like, I really enjoyed my shit. was Super Smash Brothers. Super Smash Brothers and Mario Car. I always default to I'm just like, that's video games to me. Video games to me are like they're supposed to look like a video game.

They're supposed to look like a cartoon. You plug it in, you turn it on, you fire it up, boom, you're fucking going to Rainbow Road in like a matter of 18 seconds. Yeah. And all this crazy intro. I know that you can see the sweat coming off. I know they have LeBron's tattoos on his arms. But it's just, it's too real.

It's too difficult. I'm not good. I'm with you on that, too. I always, I always, I was, I always, I was,

I was really bad. A lot of hours are taken up on Super Smash brothers and, uh, Mario cart. For some reason I, like, didn't grow up with Mario games and I was always really bad at them,

but I liked playing them too. I was like, okay, yeah. There's more relatable for everybody. You're like, yeah, dude,

don't you can play. Yeah. You're blasted Mario in the sky. It's so fun. Show fun. What else did you get to there? Did have a little FIFA run too. If I had to go, if I had to go a five to one in terms of that list, in terms of time spent, I'd say five.

I'd say five would be FIFA, four would be. some shooting game Call of Duty or Halo Take your pick, whatever Three would be Super Smash Brothers No 3 would be Mario Card 2 would be Super Smash Brothers And one would be 2K

And that's probably My games Minutes Minutes on game From 2012 to 2017 Dang I think I'm Grand The Deftado.

Whoa. Yeah. Like the only things I do can't a little bit. What's going on? The only thing I know is from Grand Theptado. It's like the only reason I know anything. Grand Theft Auto. I don't even know how I was allowed to have it.

Honestly, I was like, how do I even have this game? You were just having that at your house? Bro, yeah. Wow. I think my sister bought it for me. Crazy.

Just mowing people down, dude. Yeah. Maybe like that might be number two. Number one, probably college football. Two K's in there. Call of Duty for sure. Call of Duty ran my life for a while. Really?

Yeah. You did not peg me as a military, like, campaign shooting guy. Well, I wasn't. And then everybody was talking about it. And I was like, I got to just get it. And then me and Chiller had like a call of duty night where we're like, let's just try it. like we'll just see what it's all about and like we just got we were on like we played online and

we were in like one little and we were like doing kind of good and it was it was one of the like best video game nights I've ever had in my life like we were dude multi multiplayer no go that way go that way like it was like one of those nights like we stayed up to like 3 a.m. and we were like you we woke right when we woke up we're like bro we got to play that game and then ever since then then everybody else started playing it yo add me how old how old were that was college that was like sophomore year in college. Dude, that's, I'm so glad you said that.

That is a really underrated night. Mel's best available underrated nights with the guys. Dude, when just you and maybe, maybe two others, but usually just you and another, like I said, maybe up to three. But like when nothing's really going to that down,

you can't really figure it out. You're like, I don't know, man. Yeah, let's, let's get on this shit and play some call of duty. do a campaign. So then you all sudden the excitement kind of starts to build a little bit. You're like, you down for that?

And you're like, fuck, yeah, I'm down. That sounds good. All right. So we got some buy in here because you're always a little hesitant to throw that out. Because you're always like, do we want to just like settle, you know? Do we want to try to find a party? Do we want to try to find an open house? Do we want to, you know, whatever?

But then in the back in your gut, you're like, dude, I can really just go for like your basement, this video game for and just chilling. I don't know if that's just us or like every guy, but deep down I'm always like, I don't really want to do anything. Finally, you throw that out though. And then you think that they're not going to have the buy-in,

but then they do. And you're like, all right, sick. So then you go get your supply. Hey, this is where it really starts kicking. You go get your supplies. You go get like five cans of dip. Spitters. ready.

Maybe you get some food, bring it back. But you know, you got some snacks on deck. Get it and candy. Dip, just constant. Ready to go, dude. And then all of a sudden it's like. Crispy TV. Yes.

Online Wi-Fi booming. Wi-Fi lit. You're like, damn, this is the most fun I've ever had in my life. No pressure. Don't worry about getting in trouble. Yeah, yeah It's just like yep Exactly not doing anything wrong

Your friend brings over like a pink controller You're like oh This is something Breast Cancer Awareness PS3 controller Oh let's go Hey comfy too Just got like Nike sweats

And a fucking A hoodie Long sleeve or a hoodie on Chris's break type night Yeah you're like let's go December 17th type night Dude, that's Mel's, that should be, Mel's best underrated guys night. I mean, that's shit, like, that's a special night that you get right there, all surrounded by video games.

Three kills, 14 deaths. Hey, pretty good. Hey, yeah. Dude, that amount, you feel in it, man. I know. You play forever. It's so much fun. Start speaking the lingo, you know?

You like act like you're actually, like, on a fucking retcon mission or something, you know? And the best thing about that game, it wasn't like super war. That was the thing I was worried about. I was like, I don't like know anything like that. I don't know guns. But it was like for people, they like made it for people who like weren't, we're just like whatever. Yeah, I kind of get it. Yeah.

Just random sports, not sports guy podcast guys could just be like, yeah, let's just like kill some people for a little bit. It's just so fun. That's where, I swear on one of those nights, on one of those nights is where the idea had been, the idea was born for dip gloves. Did we think of that? I don't know if it was me and DJ Dylon, Chiller's little brother. Or if it was you and Chiller and that got passed down to me. We had gamer gloves for a little bit. Or if it was all of us together.

We'd put on football gloves and play video games. Shit was hard, bro. Nike Vapor Nike Vapor Gloves. White, black, white, black fingers on the PS3 controller. Pink. Hey, no shirts on for like 47 hours straight. You had to go, you had to go to the chair key to get them off of your, off of your mirror. They're staying, bro.

Those stayed on. They're still on there somewhere. Oh, shit. No, shirts on and hats on. Oh, yeah. That idea was born at one of those nights because so much dipping was going on. And, like, you're like, you don't want to take your dip out and, like, put it into the spitter. And then you're passing the controller or.

So it's just like, we need like some like special little dip gloves. That you can take care of that shit with. That's so funny. Not a South Side reminiscent pod. The way guys sit playing video games too is really funny to watch. Like when a guy's really locked in. His legs are like crossed and like it's just so funny. Get down on the ground.

Get down on the ground. Oh yeah. Standing on a chair. Like if somebody walks. walks in and like peak in the middle of the climax of like video game night you're like what is going on here uh-huh you guys are wearing gloves sitting like women like it's just like the weirdest what the hell he has a headband on like what hey but also too there's always like there's always kind of like the idea of doing something like there's always kind of the threat of something happening yeah that's kind of the best part

No, I know. Like, always on those kind of night. Constant pregame. Always on one of those nights is when like that girl that Chiller's been talking about like hits him up. You're like, Are you going? What? A little party is like, please don't go.

No, no, yeah. It's nothing like there's plans going on. But all of a sudden she just like randomly texts him out of nowhere. You're like, is this because we did the video game thing? Just only good things happen? We got to keep doing this, dude. Yeah. we got to keep doing this.

Hey, but you know what? You get the text for an open house. Should we go or just stay here? Look up how far away it is. Hey, then you start, you start. That's when you start going. You're like, yeah, but like, dude, don't get there. Then, like, something messes up happens.

Like, I don't want to be running from the car. Like, it's just, you got to get dressed. Just anything you have to do, you start saying. I don't know what I'm. I'm gonna wear. Yeah. Yeah. You're right.

You're right. Plus, this is like, I mean, this game's tight. I was always doing, I was always that guy. Everybody always wanted to go, though. I was like, all right. Let's go. Just fighting for my life to stay. Go on.

Yeah. Please. I want to play FIFA for six more hours. I was never a FIFA guy. It's fucking hard. FIFA Street. Had one of those nights. What?

FIFA Street. There's like a NFL Street, NBA Street, FIFA Street. Really? Yeah, it was really fun of Sam Patterson's house. Oh. All-nighter FIFA Street. I was like, all right, this is it. Yeah.

Found our game. Slide tackling everybody. Yeah. Had an NBA Street, volume 2 night. Stay up to like 4 a.m. Dude, that's one of those games. like actually beat it too in a night it's so much fun when you got like a homie

The Morning Dove. And the morning is spelled like Alonzo. These guys, I was thinking of soothing sounds recently. Something immediately come to mind. The baseball tonight jingle. Dude, do, do, do, do. Dude, this is a great email. The pick is in alert.

And for me, the sound of a morning dove. According to Google, one of the most abundant and widespread birds in North America, widely recognized for its gentle, owl-like, who, who. There's just something very soothing about it, especially during the summertime with American flags flying with smell of barbecue, fresh cut grass in the air. And any sounds like this come to mind for you at all? I'm Tim Kirchen.

ESPN. God, what a unbelievable email that was. Geez. Still going? Still got more? Nope. Love that guy. Morning dove?

I know what it is. I mean, I'm sure it's just like, seems like you're really kind of. Those are Mel's best sounds type of email. Whoa. This thing's right in your face. Whoa. Yep.

No, that is. Dude, how is that not like the intro card for a fucking movie studio? You know? Like that bird, animatronic or animated bird like that flies like and lands on the fucking letters that the movie studio is and does that.

Good call, bro. That should be for our podcast intro. Dead serious. I'm down. Bird flies in. It's the Raven, Baltimore Raven. You're secretly mad. I'm really coming around.

Really coming around to it. That's a damn good call right there, Ryan. That's a pretty tough three to be there. Baseball tonight, pick is in. And that. A, sports. Pretty good. The train.

Train at 1 a.m. that you're just like, oh. It's like kind of far away. Yeah. It's when you're at your grandmas. I'm like, what the hell? Yep. Far away train.

Waves crashing in the morning at like 6.42 a.m. Bro. Hey, a couple of those seagulls. You're going through. you're like already yes If you live close to a high school football stadium You can hear the band on Friday night You look up, you see the lights

Lights dude yeah Just hey it's like dusk You know Yeah it's still yep Has it really kicked off yet Teams are still in the locker rooms Bands just on the field Soothing sounds

Your cat God damn it Rimmie Your cat trying to get up stairs when you don't want it to? Seasling sounds. Well, probably my number one soothing sound. The ESPN college football theme

from like 2007 to 2011. When game day just comes on. Da, da, da, da, da da da da da da da da da da da da. Bo ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba hey.

They had all those, like, graphics going across the street of, like, at the screen of, like, all the football stuff that was rotating and swiveling and opening and... Yeah. Like the flags and, like the flyer shit. What dimension am I going into right now? And then all you just hear, Reese Davis. Yes! All right.

Hey, over, over, overhead shot. Blondering. It's cloudy and drizzling at East Lansing. It's Spartan Stadium. But that's not deterring these rowdy fans from. They go to Crowdshot, you know. Right to kickoff. Drew Stanton, Jersey's on.

Beth Mullen's on the call. It's like Michigan State against fucking Iowa. Central Michigan. Not even that. Kent State. Michigan State, Kent State. I'll listen to that. Bo do-do-d-d-da-do.

Like any time I hear that. Top sound. I just say just puts me in such a nostalgic oh yeah yeah I went away at the college football playoff it's like hey let's let's change the most soothing best nostalgic happy sound ever

for just alarms going off just screaming at you it could be a lot worse but when I heard the college game day intro for the Saturday night game just nothing made me feel better, bro. Then you got college football final after that game. I was like, it's still going.

College football is still on TV. I swear to God, I've been up for 50 hours straight. Florida's playing Florida State right now. Florida at night on Saturday? Yeah, scary. Hey, that's what... When you accidentally flip the input at the 2K room, that's what's on is college football final.

It's like, hey, no! College football final, bro. Even if you change the channel, if you turn the TV off and back on, it's like not on. You're like, what the hell? I swear it was just on. Another top soothing sound.

your NFL primetime song because there's so many different versions and renditions that would play for different games but like the one that really just takes you back to 2002 for me there's like a there's like a three-way tie that I'm like I just can't pick one bro one day it's this one day it's that like there's just not

you know because you have the classic that everyone refers to you know But then, you know, one that's near and dear to us, I know is the... That one goes hard. That one goes hard. It just matches the vibe of the game, too. They did such a good job of that.

I was like, yeah, the Buccaneers would play to that. Do you know the one that really comes in like very... like, like, cinematic almost in a way. What is it? Oh, it's like, I just got pulled it up here. You have that.

Dan, that, da, dan, da, da, do, oh my God,

oh my God, I just thought. That's not, that's not the one. I'm going through all the different ones in my head. Oh. Oh. Burr.

Burm, brum, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,

That's always, that's always the first game. That's always the first one on prime time. Just imagining a clubhouse guy on a road trip with his girl. Hey, you care if we listen to this? Hey, I'm sorry. We're sorry to the girls,

What? Oh, man. What's up? You got any other soothing sounds here? What we wrap up? Kind of cicadas, but it's more of a Midwest thing. Oh, they are. Yeah, I did hear that.

It's weird. It's such a weird thing with them because they are soothing, but then also you have the, you hit this nostalgia of like, I'm leaving football practice and I got homework to do. And tomorrow's only Wednesday at school. Good and back. And like school,

school just started. But at the same time, like there is that kind of exciting energy about the first week or two of school. Like weather's still good. We got Friday night football games are going to. like still getting news to the new class everybody's looking good at their new shit

first three weekends of school high school are pretty lit you're like do I like this right yeah yeah you're like maybe I'm a school guy now do I like school? Like I was always just like in the back of my head I was like if I just got good grades I could I could like this

Right. We don't have homework. We don't have homework. Exactly. Exactly. Reading. Exactly, dude. But if it's reading, Chavre's 6 through 12 and you have these five questions to answer, I'm like, well, I got to find somebody to cheat off of in the morning. Homework. No questions. Your boys got the night off.

What's good? Might go to Target. Yeah. It's like you usually would tell you. your mom that like you don't have homework anyways but at least when it's just reading you really don't feel bad about it. I literally don't. There's not like anything. There's no sheet. I don't have to answer anything. Your mom always knows when you have homework too. Somehow you're like, how the hell? But then they got like back to school night and then all of a sudden, you know, because that's like a month in or whatever.

And they come back to be like, so we talked to Mrs. Williams about how you said that you just haven't been having homework. Have you been doing the readings that she's been assigning? Like, oh, God! You're gonna ruin a good thing! None of them. Yeah, just like get them done at school. Are you lying to me?

I do it during Channel 1. It's just crazy. How much I didn't do. Then dad comes down on you. Joe, is this the kind of work ethic you're going to have? If this is the kind of work that you're going to put in, then we'll send you to school for that kind of work ethic. You're like, geez, dude.

It's not that deep. It's 27 pages of a history book. Crazy your parents. My parents never went to back to school night. My parents never knew anything. Imagine your dad at back to school tonight. Yeah, like no chance. That kind of sucks your parents went to that
