It's old stadiums.
Okay, Duke.
Yeah.
It's old.
That's the excuse.
They don't have,
they haven't,
they haven't,
they haven't,
like expanded and gotten the upgrades, man.
Hey,
I'm with you.
I hate watching games at Cameron Indoor.
Not bad for a fat guy.
Go Cubs go.
Go Cubs go.
TG 126.
126, they're back in the basement.
Not the basement.
They're back in the living room.
Coach Pee's house.
It's,
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Run your feet. Let's go.
A, B.
Need a blanket B?
You want a Starbuck, B?
How you been eating? You've been eating good, B?
Just all dads do.
All my dad does. Hey, you've been eating good?
That's like one of every three things he says. I'm like, apparently not.
Yeah.
Some origin these guys for the week real quick.
we would always be working in the radio studio
for various hours of the day and the night
and all the work would be done
like we'd be editing a video or chop it something up
on Ben's computer because he had the good one
and we'd be doing that and he has obviously
the text notifications that come up on us
those will rat you out
bro
the only text he would ever get
from his sisters
so it would be yeah
TP or I don't know if anyone want to reveal the names
but either way
No one cares about my fan.
They would eat the pop-ups.
Not even they do.
But then it would be dad.
But then it would just be dad.
And his sisters would always be some like kind of quirky funny shit, but his dad's constantly.
Any food be?
It was great.
Got some food down here for you, B.
The amount of times my dad just pulled up with two huge ass salads with chicken in them, I'm like, all right, cool.
Be right back.
It goes down four stories, comes back up, just has a bag of food from the...
Olive Garden?
Yeah.
Well, I was about to say the best Italian place in the city.
the IOTOs.
But sometimes it'd be
Olive Garden.
Yeah, who knows
where it'd come from?
Just be like,
damn,
can I get some of that coach?
Anyways.
IOTS's indie.
Shout out.
The place my dad
tried to get remarried.
God.
Dang.
It's so good.
Also,
yeah,
that's real quick.
No,
keep going,
the double Zs,
right?
Yeah.
Come on.
I mean,
all right.
How many times?
People out there in California
this weekend.
Well,
not so much because
most of people out there
know you and know
that we work together.
But still,
people constantly,
you know,
every now and then still. Oh yeah, you and uh, Polizzi, right? Oh my God, dude. And every time I'm
hit him with, how do you say pizza? That's crazy. I don't even do that. When people mess up my name,
I'm like, just say whatever. You can say Benny. How do you spell pizza? P-I-Z-A. How do you say it?
Pizza, right? Right, not Paisa, right? That's nice. I would never do that, bro. The amount of people
I was downtown indie doing like megaphone stuff like on Georgia Street. It was sick, dude. God.
It was funny. It was funny to come out there with me one time, but dude, literally 13 people. That's a
dude that does videos with Joey.
Is that the
Collinsworth guy? I was like dog.
Isn't it funny how, yeah, we have these various
things that we have to like,
dude, everybody, where's Joey? I'm like, dog.
I don't know.
You and the, you and the
sky guy. I'm like, yeah, dude.
We're not always together.
Wanna be. They're like,
where is he? I'm like, that's actually a good question.
Why isn't you right here right now?
I'm like, he has a family and shit.
And I'm like, never mind. God damn it.
Was it dry for you?
I looked a little rainy.
It was bad, dude.
It was not good.
One of the post-a-bordes ripped in half and flew away.
I was like, okay, guess we'll call it.
Man, that's a bummer.
But I saw there's a little, a few handlebars out there that were hitting you up.
All there were.
Rainy handlebars.
Let's go.
All right.
Let's go ahead.
Push and ticks.
A Plano Tex, April 2nd.
It's coming up, Zaddy.
Get your tickies.
Rochester, New York, May 9th and 10th, Las Vegas, Nevada, May 24.
all the tickeys in the link
or go to Benny Polizzi
dot dot dot dot dot dot dot com
where are you performing in Vegas
wise guys
wise guys
these guys and wise guys
these thighs at wise guys
that's cool
Plano Texas gosh yeah
they got like Plano
they got Frisco
so many damn
every city sounds cool in Texas
you're gonna wear cowboy hat
I'm trying to figure out what jersey
I'm gonna wear a sports podcast
everybody's like dude
you gotta wear it that's like
Oklahoma territory in Texas.
So I'm like, what do I do?
Maybe a little Brian Bosworth.
I was thinking that.
Mesh cut to here.
Go with the jeans shorts.
It fit kind of your your 2025 style.
I don't know, I've never worn shorts on stage.
Really?
Yeah, never.
I don't know.
It just doesn't feel right.
I think someone told me like my first week of stand-up.
They were like, don't ever wear shorts.
And I was like, okay.
Yeah.
And then when everybody wears shorts,
When someone wears shorts, they'd just like, like heckle them the whole time.
And I'd be like, damn.
Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen anybody.
But I don't know why.
I just felt like I've seen clips of you where you got a jersey and the poop a necklace and
jean shorts on.
Nah, not shorts.
I'd probably freak out if I'd forgot pants.
Or I'd like, I'd ask somebody in the crowd, I'd be like, dude, can I wear your jeans?
What about?
I know you're pretty loose up there.
you ever just like gone up there with uh some loose baggy sweats no always jeans or
jeans jeans cargo pants but usually jeans dude you know it would be hilarious i think if you threw
you could throw people for a loop a little bit every now and then if you came out in a suit
god that'd be so weird i'd be so stiff no like i was doing the news you'd work through it no and that
would be what's funny is you're so physical and like big on stage that you and a suit doing all
that shit. I think it would be fun. There's only like two suit comics. It's so weird when you see
him. Like I'll pull up to like a club and there's like a showcase and there's like a guy.
We're in a full suit. I'm like, yo. It's wild. Yeah. That is weird. Just get back from a wedding.
He's like, nah, just perform. Yeah. I've done it before.
Full suit. But only for a special, but only for, it's only twice. Only indie or not it was a night with me
and friends two maize ago.
You were there.
You were a suit for that?
Yeah, I did at the Vogue.
The Vogue.
And then when I opened for Nance last summer at that PGA, LPGA event,
I mean, it's pretty suety.
Yeah, they were like, you know, Jim's not going to be wearing, like,
I was like, I know Jim's not going to be wearing jeans in a, you know, long sleeve.
Right.
Dude, there's just something about a suit that's just, there's something always messed up.
There's so many parts.
You know it's not like for you when you take it off and you go, oh my God.
Like you know it's not meant to be.
Every time I take off a suit, I'm like, thank God.
But on the other hand, though, when you put it on, you may when you take it off, you may have the, oh my God.
But when you put it on, you're going, my God.
Kind of rocking some wood right now.
God damn.
That's what you're saying.
You know.
I remember my college radio.
professor, you probably have the same one.
You had to wear whenever you were on the air for a sports broadcast.
There was none of that.
Like, you couldn't get away with like the quarter zip and the khakis.
God, what, dude, that's every guy.
Like you wear the suit and tie.
You feel more prepared.
Just for the job you want.
You do actually.
It does kind of make your, it tricks your mind.
Yeah.
I'm like, why am I kind of like.
On your peas and cues a little bit.
You know, you act might be a little tighter.
Feel a little sexy.
Not tight in a bad way, but just.
like fucking um-mm-mm-hmm i don't know i think it could be funny just every now and then people
be like what what's he even doing you automatically smell good too because the colon you put on
last time you wore the suit is still on there a little bit oh see but i you know you dry clean
i get i yeah i get sweaty in the suit you know everything's just trapped underneath it's like
the wedding guys dude you take off i take off a suit jacket after wearing it for more
than an hour. Probably my biggest fear.
Oh, buddy. The shirt
and the jacket. It's just all, just a
heat trap, just sucked in there.
My biggest fear is to sweat through the suit.
Because that's like sweating through
like leather or something, bro.
Like, there's so many panels.
Right, it's layers. If you sweat through
a suit,
Mm-hmm.
Like, it's just not a suit day.
Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
It's ass sweat.
Always wearing compression shorts. You can,
I hate my big, I hate when you can see compression shorts like through the pants.
Yeah, I'm like, I can see your whole underwear.
Can you wear a thong?
That would actually, that's the final boss of wearing a suit.
Thong underneath.
That's wedding.
How on it would you be?
That's wedding stuff though, you know?
It's like your buddy who gets married in July and August.
Dude.
Tough.
Because, you know, if your guy at the wedding, you can just, you don't have to have the tie on.
You have a jacket.
the little jacket can be loose.
Maybe they don't even go jacket at all.
You're in that wedding?
I was in a wedding like on July 15th.
Oh, brother.
It was.
Are weddings more fall now?
Because of the heat?
No.
Sweaty guys?
Just because of sweaty guys.
I think, I just think the year-round, dude.
I really don't think like, you know, because then you go, people who have like February ones or like late December ones are like,
It's the winter wonderline.
Kind of sick.
Kind of sick, y'all.
I was thinking about that.
Do they do it?
Dude, a December 22nd wedding?
Kind of sophisticated.
They're doing it then?
Kind of classy.
You know?
Hey, what's the spread?
Honestly,
do you give me a wedding on December 27th?
Fake wedding.
Not mad at it.
Whoa, December 20.
Hey, we got the wedding.
Christmas is wrapping up.
You're like, oh, dude, we're like,
we got the rehearsal dinner tomorrow night.
Before Christmas, a little too overwhelming.
Christmas.
too much. Put it down. Time stamp. Way too much. Stevie. Stevie. It was a Steven Snyder. He's a dog, bro.
Way too, way too, way, way too much going on. Can't have it. Can't no one has time. No one has the ability, the mental capacity, anything for a December 21st wedding. December 28th? December 20th. December 20th is like, there's absolutely nothing going on. You're sad.
Oh, that's been well established on this pod.
But now I'm talking, now I'm kind of like waiting for somebody.
Anybody in the clubhouse gets married, you know, get a wedding coming up,
think about December 28th, 29th.
Maybe invite Johnson and Schmitty.
Add an ice skating rink.
That's what I'm saying, like, maybe the best theme.
If you're going for a wedding that you want to have like some sort of a theme that gets remembered,
do a winter one where it's just like skating out there.
Like Mr. Freeze is there from bad.
Batman, you know, like all of it.
There's penguins.
Could be fake, could be real.
Ring bear, polar bear.
Bringing up Coca-Cola's up and down the aisle too.
That'd be so sick.
Someone's riding it.
Your dad's riding it?
This is perfect.
Not a bad wedding.
Everything's a surprise because I've never been to anything like this before.
Snow cones?
Yeah.
Chili? See, that's what I'm saying. It's all themed even through the food.
Oh, yeah. What are we thinking for food? Cold food. Cold, cold,
wedding, hot food. Like, like, all the soups, chilies, like you mentioned. Chicken or fish.
You know? Steak or fish, every wedding. Has to be. Chicken or fish? I don't want to go.
Chicken fish steak. Nothing. I won't be there. Thanks.
too big guy good lord
dude
dude it worked nobody invites me to weddings anymore
because you're 40 and everybody
all of your friends are either married or on their second
remarried
dude yeah a couple of people have asked me to go to their second wedding
I'm like dog you didn't even get me the first time
and you think I'm like damn
what a bold move
yeah because you're 40 is
so, so true.
Somebody said that the other day.
That's crazy you can still do that and you're almost 40.
I was like, oh.
Was it a comment or was a girl on,
on Georgia Street?
No, it was a comment.
It was a nice comment, but I was like,
yo, that's crazy.
One of those that's like nice, but it's also like a good
punchline. Like it's a good crack at you.
They're like, oh, okay, we're good.
I'm 40.
Holy shit.
That's so funny.
It is pretty speaking of that.
It's pretty wild.
like I know that I am wearing a shade of green here as we record on St. Patrick's Day, but
C foam?
It's, uh, sure, that works.
It's really the Mandalorian logo.
Yeah, it was like,
um,
come on,
we're,
what are we doing?
I'm gonna have this tattooed on me in like six days on his neck.
What?
Dude,
you're 40.
Not just calf,
calf,
calf,
back a calf.
Back a calf,
Mando tattoo.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Um,
actually if I'd do that,
maybe check on me if I do that.
And then you're like,
That's when I know you're doing well.
Back a cat and then you get another one on the other one like two years later.
Calf tats,
caftats.com.
I've got a really great buddy who you know who I believe he only has leg tattoos.
Kind of the play.
Yeah, I mean, I'm like, hey, you know, you're, that's, that's, that's your role.
That's your, your, your, your CafTag guy.
That's your zone.
Got to have a tattoo guy in the click.
That's your play.
A lot of guys like me, you know, you do the arm.
me do the forearm, right?
Like, guys do the shoulder or something, maybe the peck, you know?
But hey, you're owning the, your own in the leg territory, go for it.
Not a lot of people go there.
Yeah.
Only leg tats, short shorts.
Those guys had like two summers in a row where they're the hottest thing.
That was him.
Like short, like short, short shorts, leg tats, like Nike mid socks with like some fire ass crazy shoes on.
And then like a basic.
tea up top. Yeah, dude. I was like
cheese. Dad hat. Way backwards?
Okay. Whoa.
No, he wasn't. Steal my bitch.
He wasn't vaping, but all the
everything else check the box.
Upside down rose on his thigh. Have
sex with my girlfriend.
You deserve it more than me for all that.
Day drinking.
Just the honest guy. Those kind of
yeah, dude. Baseball hair? Those kind of
dudes, nah.
Damn it.
Nah. But like cool sunglasses
too. Can't do some. A.
on the back of your head.
Like ray bands.
You're like,
geez.
Everybody deep down
wanted to be that guy.
I just couldn't pull it off.
No,
I couldn't pull it off either
because this dude,
he's one of those guys
that like have gray shorts on
like a basic T
or like a graphic basic T
up top that would color coordinate
and look good.
But then his shoes would be like
yellow and pink.
Nice.
And that's,
I just can't do that.
I got to be way too simple.
You got to be more simple.
People would think I was literally walking out of the clown car.
Try it sometime, dude.
Nah.
Crazy shoes?
Old crazy shoe?
Nah, it's just, you know, I'm past that.
I'm past that.
I'm like, I think that I'm at the point where what I wear,
what I like to wear is going to be the same forever.
Whoa.
White shoes, plain top.
You're not getting jazzy with it?
I think I only get jazzy with like jerseys now.
Yeah, I only get jazzy when I'm like supporting a team.
Yeah, then it's completely
Like if it's a
A Steeler's game day
Right
Then I got a hoodie on
Gold Teeth
I got a crazy ass 90
I got a crazy ass 90s
Like vintage hat
That's when you're true self
At a Steelers game
Crazy shit going on
Is he smoking a Sig?
Hey yellow and black
Like air forces
You know
Oh yeah
It's all like the most expensive shoes too
You ever see dudes do that
They'll buy like
$500 cussam Jordan
that are like navy blue and orange for the Broncos.
I'm like, dude, yeah.
Just you know his wife was like,
you can do whatever you want there.
What's the Broncos field?
Mile high.
Century Link and not Century.
They have one of those sponsors
where it's like empowered field
and Mile High Stadium.
Come on.
All the name.
Pick one.
Hey, what's the Bengals Field?
This might be our new thing, by the way.
Like what's their stadium called?
Yeah, like mile high.
for Broncos.
Paycor at Paul Brown.
Dude, can we keep going?
Sure.
It's a Patriots field cold.
Oh, come on, dude.
Foxborough.
Gillette's so cold.
At Foxborough.
Never knew what that thing was on their field.
And nobody ever explained it either.
But it's also, like, I think that if you.
Not sports podcast.
If you look at.
Not a stadium podcast.
You look at like the entrance.
You know that weird entrance that they had,
where they come out of,
but also there's a tunnel that opens up the stadium.
To the parking lot?
You know how many times I'm Madden?
I tried to run out there with my guy.
You're just running the invisible wall.
I was like, I want to go to the parking lot.
I see my car.
Dude, I used to do that all the time.
Like it just turns into Grand Theft Auto on Madden.
I think it's that though.
I'm pretty sure that's what that thing is on that field.
Yeah, but no one ever said anything about it.
I'm like, are you guys going to explain the thing on the field ever?
Like, I've never seen a tweet.
I've never seen anything on the internet that explains what that is.
for half my life, I was like, is that a Gillette razor?
Or is that the Mach 5?
I don't know.
I think about it.
It's not.
It's just like the weirdest thing.
I'm like, no one's going to say anything?
All I think about when I think of the Patriot Stadium,
even though this is a sports podcast is on third down.
Never noticed it.
I never noticed it.
I love how you notice that stuff.
Dude, it's now whenever you see it ever again,
any time a Patriots game will be on.
you'll that's all you'll notice you're talking about the view of the camera for like
that changed my life yeah dude that changed my life different um someone had a really bad one the
other day might have been duke it's like why is it so high up duke's rough yeah because it's old
it's old stadium okay duke yeah it's old that's the excuse they don't have it down to sweet
level they haven't built they haven't like expanded and gotten the upgrades man hey i i i'm with you
I hate watching games at Cameron Indoor.
Yes.
Hey, and the hoop like hangs down from the ceiling.
It's like the auxiliary gym at a high school.
Hey, Duke, figure it out.
Or tradition.
I hate watching games at Mike Shoshchevsky court at Cameron Indoor.
Hey, lions.
It's Ford Field, but I don't know the, is it something, something at Ford Field?
That I don't know.
Ford Field is, that's a great name for a stadium.
It's really good.
Ford Field same F-O-R-D-F-I-E.
One letter off.
But still.
Runes it.
Two syllables together.
Ford Field is six because of that like.
And it's so Detroit.
That pillar they have that says Pepsi on it.
It's like the, oh, I love that.
Stuck out so much in Super Bowl 40.
They always wrap it with something sick.
Yeah.
It's like in the background of Heinz-Word jumping into the end zone.
Love that pillar, dude.
Pepsi knew what they're doing.
We want that pillar.
I just remember being sick.
grade watch that and be like
god dang i wonder if we can still order some
little caesars
some bepsi with it
it looks so good
i'm trying to think of other cool state what's the sea hawks
seehawks has changed a bunch it was century link
and now i don't remember what it is but like it's so
annoying with the chiefs you know
it's so like
g e h a some insurance at arrowhead
god airhead's a sick name for stadium
like they had
It was so funny because I remember when I remember when that burrowhead shit was going on back and forth.
I remember when the Bengals were like, we're going to Burrowhead next week.
After they beat the Chiefs the year before and they're going back to the AFC title.
So then, of course, the Chiefs were in like an uproar about, you know, how you're going to disrespect and everything.
I remember Chris Jones had some sort of quote about it being, yeah, I guess we'll see you all, Burroughs.
And they had to put the sponsor on it.
In their social post that was like trying to hive up the field,
they had to put like the sponsor there at Arrowhead.
Oh my God.
So lame, dude.
God.
But when those companies pay $800 million for the rights,
I guess you don't have any other option.
I'll do whatever you want.
It's just like the Steelers letting Heinz go to Accurricure.
The Colt, the Lucas Oil is up for.
for new naming rights.
So you know it's going to be Salesforce Stadium.
God dang it.
Make it something cool, please.
Hey, hey, you're the Colts.
It's called the Barn.
Hey, the best ever is the Yom Center.
God dang.
When I heard that, I was like, ooh!
Makes me want KFC, everything.
Kind of looks like a bucket, too.
Yeah, I think they did that on purpose.
Yeah, I know.
Wait, what did you say it was?
What did you say Lucas Oil should be?
No, this is a sports podcast or anything
Like get something, but call it the barn
The stable
Damn, damn, damn, damn.
Can we talk about
The Memphis Grizzlies
Pyramid for a little bit? Is that still a thing?
I don't think that was ever their stadium.
Oh yeah, it was, bro.
They played in it like a pyramid.
It was so sick.
No, that's like hard rock or something.
No, that's a different one in Vegas.
They just had like a...
Am I tripping?
You're tripping, man.
sure? I want to look it up, but I'm scared that everything's
going to... Look it up on your phone. Dude, the Grizzlies
used to play, I swear.
I know what you're talking about that they still
had... FedEx Forum? That's what it's
called, but I don't think that it was
the pyramid. Grizzlies has the pyramid.
They didn't play in there?
God damn. Not capacity.
I just remember that things been
going viral online about
that view from the
room in Egypt. And they're like, why are you going
to pay all that money in Egypt, but I can
do that in Memphis?
Memphis has a
Memphis Grizzly Stadium
Pyramid
Oh see that's
Bass Pro Shop Center
God that's so sick though
They never played in this
Maybe like
I think you're thinking of
When Memphis and Tennessee
were ranked 1 and 2 in 2008
The pyramid
Grizzlies versus Seattle
They played in that
Okay so yeah
Maybe they play in it
Like for special games
Like Memphis and Tennessee
were ranked 1 and 2
When Derek Rose was at Memphis
and Joey Dorsey
and
Stroh Miles Swift
Who was the other
CDR, Chris Douglas Roberts
And it was the Tennessee team
That wore the headbands
That didn't go around around their head
They wore them just like above the top
Like they're like...
Sick team on NCAA basketball video game
Yeah, they're one of them
wore headbands
I think
That was like their thing
But I think they played that game there
Because it was like the battle of Tennessee
Or whatever wanted to
Can we make sense?
stadium's cool. Every stadiums looks like a big taco bell now. I'm like
I've been seeing a lot of those posts too about how much
minimalism has impacted our society because when we grew up everything
was just the most pop and crazy fun thing ever. And every they just
sucked it down to being just so corporate boring. Colt's stadium
is cool because it kind of does look like a barn. I'm like, okay, I get what we were going for.
But there's a lot of other stadiums like, bro, it hurts to even
see the Titans new stadium.
compared to what the, I love the Titan Stadium now.
What's it called?
Nissan Stadium.
It's just like, I love it.
I don't know.
I was thinking something with a guitar.
Yeah.
Guitar works field.
That'd be kind of sick.
Yeah, everybody's got to be better about the naming rights tying into the, it'll never happen.
I know.
It'll never happen.
But a pyramid as a state.
In an ideal world.
Dude, you know, what was crazy though is I was like saying how,
these St. Paddy's Day weekends
just don't let up.
Oh, people, it's crazy
how much people love St. Paddies.
They don't, I mean,
no, no matter how old we get,
they don't end.
No, it got, like, this year,
I was like, oh my God, overwhelmed.
Yeah.
Girls on St. Paddy's Day.
Drunk.
11 a.m.
Shut up.
Man.
I was like,
I was following along all the way out from California,
and I,
They don't give a shit about it in California.
They don't even know what's a thing.
I'm like, oh, yeah, all right.
I was talking about it with somebody out there at a couple of the events I was at.
And they were from Indiana as well.
That's one thing they were saying.
They're like, they don't even, like, Fourth of July is like one day here.
Where I like back where we're from?
It's like, it's a month.
It's true.
Holidays are like, multiplied here.
Mm-hmm.
Because everyone wants to kill themselves.
You know why they made them, baby.
Golden rule of this podcast.
Holidays are there so you don't jump off the roof.
St. Paddy's Day?
Just throw it in the middle of the worst month ever.
Just so they don't die.
Just so they don't all kill themselves.
Right, right, right?
It's working.
Dude, everybody downtown was lit.
Like it was the first St. Patrick's Day ever.
I was like, oh.
And it was like,
leading and hailing. Never fails. It didn't matter. I feel like I can count on less than three fingers
how many times I feel like I've been at a St. Paddy's Day party outing function going out where
it's actually good weather. And by good I just mean like sunny. Oh, that's dangerous. If it's good
weather on St. Patty's Day, like you're in for, you're in for it, bro. Like you people are going to
lay in the road. People are already laying in the road when it's 48 and pissering.
rain. Why is everyone so?
Ah!
Right when St. Patrick's Day starts this.
Where are my clover glasses!
It's insane.
Beads, I was like, you guys are so
down. Dude, people had that
shit on for St. Patty's Day and Indy.
Just a LeBron James
high school jersey. I was like,
ooh, that's so hard.
Mountain Dew racing jacket. I was like,
God, dude. That is cool about St. Paddies.
You can just wear whatever green.
Yeah. Well, people, yeah, people go
people take their outfit more seriously for St. Paddy's than Halloween, I think.
Yeah, it's a little more carefree.
You don't really need to have a theme.
But at the same time, at the same time, no, you do.
Because like you said, I mean, obviously green,
but then that's where people start, yeah, you see the, like,
throwback Mariners.
You see like a crazy Seahog.
Lime Green, Seattle, Manor.
I had one one year.
Dude, the boys, the boys were calling me up.
Yeah, you were in that Mariners jersey?
When St. Patty's is coming out.
Dude, there were some.
And you can, like,
stack. You can like wear like black coat, jeans, black shoes, green undershirt, low key. You can
even go all neutral and have some green beads. Or you can go full. Oh yeah. There's always the guy
wearing the suit. But I think even more so than Halloween, you know, if there's like a, if there's like a
copycat, not a copycat, but like if there's a, if you see somebody else who has the same
costume as you or whatever, I feel like it's not the same as when you're out at a bar, St. Patty's
weekend and you're like man i have this jersey that nobody else is got to have and then you see
them go fuck they had it they found it there's no way you know what i mean that notre dame one
that green one brady quinn when you're walking around with one that people were like damn
what did you that feels good uh-huh i remember one st patty's like six years ago seven years ago
i don't know i was like i don't want to get too crazy like i don't i feel like everybody's got the
LeBron. Everybody's got like the supersonics, whatever. So I was like, you know what? I'm just
going to get this green bomber jacket. Ooh, like Kelly Green? No, it's like force green.
Like solid green. Yeah, nice. Nice change up. I was like, you know what? And then I'm just going to
wear like a neutral shirt, Kelly Green jacket. I don't think I saw another one out. I saw a group of
girls wearing all black. I didn't know what that was. That's a red party? No. But, but
why wouldn't they wear green? I was like, is this some kind of, are they taking a stand for something?
Could have been. I didn't know if that was a thing. If anybody knows, let me know. Not a holiday podcast.
And that's so wild about how, like, by the book, almost to where it's a law, bachelor parties have become to where you see the, you see the pictures.
Wigs. Handelbar. You see the pictures drop, bro. And then.
There's 26.
26 girls.
And all of them have the all black.
And then the one, the bride, obviously, with the white and the sash and everything.
Let me a shot.
Shoot.
We're also part of the generation where it's, you know, my, like my parents' generation,
I feel like they were one of the last ones to wear one of the last ones to where,
yeah, like Bachelor and Bachelor parties were a thing.
but it was literally like maybe even sometimes the weekend of the wedding like the Friday before
the Thursday before like they would all get together and like go out to bars and that was like it
you know or like the girls would go to like the family lakehouse for a way or whatever like or you
know like it wasn't it was a thing but it wasn't like this giant ordeal I wonder if it's
going to swing back around I wonder if the pendulum makes more sense rank is our age
or younger whenever his boys or whatever are going through it.
Like, I wonder if it's going to swing
or if it's going to just like keep going to where it's like,
hey, boys, take out another mortgage
because we're going on my,
um,
month long excursion for my bachelor party.
Mountain climbing and shit.
I'm like,
dude,
it's always like the week,
when is the bachelor or bachelor at party?
Happen.
Is it like two weeks before the wedding?
No,
there's no like set time.
I think used to.
It would be like,
Like I said, back in the old days, when I first started coming about, I think it was even like the night before the wedding or two nights before the wedding.
That makes sense, dude.
Let's just hang out.
Let's go somewhere.
And then tomorrow's the wedding.
Right.
But then it started shifting.
And now it's to the point where it's like, you know, it could be a month before.
I didn't mind like a month before, you know, some people do it six months before because maybe that allows them more time to go to Vegas for a week.
That's crazy.
don't know if I don't know if I have it in me
you never went on one did you
nah well I went to my friends one time
because it was like some low key like right before the wedding
and I was like yeah for just like doing this downtown
but um yeah
I never really went to one like out of state
kind of wild
yeah very
you got a bracket
oh wait wait for this year
it's already going they already picked
No, I didn't.
Yeah, there's this thing called Selection Sunday.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
I thought that was, I thought they did for the women's tournament.
They did.
They do it in the same night?
Uh, I think.
Yeah.
So I was like,
looking at it right now and they got the women's one up.
I didn't fill out of bracket, no.
But you already know, you already know I will like two days into the tournament.
I always fill out of bracket late.
I am, I think I've reached the point where I haven't gotten any of the text from like the random kid that you went to,
not random, but like the buddy that you went to high school.
school with that it's kind of the annual like hey i'm doing the pickum challenge or i'm doing the

Illinois had that year where they were undefeated?
In one basketball? I think they were like a
one seed? Yeah. Southern Illinois.
They're like super dope.
Who'd they have? One or two seed.
That's sports pockets. High

Gonzaga, you and Georgetown chokemore.
God, two schools at just Houston H-Town every time.
Bama for Alabama.
Vandy.
Wiscoe.
Wisconsin?
Go on them?
Jump around.
Jump around for Wisconsin is really it.
And I'd always sneakie.
put them in the final four.
When I was going up to Wisconsin to watch Purdue play,
I'm on a little little guy's trip like eight years ago.
Me and Ben were working together, obviously.
Jump around.
Instead of asking what my plan was for that weekend,
instead of saying,
you're going to Wisconsin this weekend, right?
He said,
you're at jump around.
I said that.
This guy's fucking insane.
Those are you see,
but then,
yeah, you get into BYU,
B, BYU.
Arizona, just Zona.
Or, yeah, Zona.
Zona and Zags, dude.
Wanted that to be my championship.
Zona Zags.
Both get beat.
Third round.
Not even second round.
Don't even make the Sweet 16.
Oregon.
It's a duck thing you wouldn't understand.
I would put that in there.
Just swoosh.
Duke.
Duke is just Duke.
All right.
That was fun exercise.
And that's what we name our NCAA team.
Cool.
That's how we feel.
out our bracket that we don't fill out. Let us know yours. Two weeks late every time. Oh,
it's the second round. Damn, I haven't filled our bracket yet. Let me do it real quick. The computer
already has the first round in there. I always did that. I was like, oh shit, well, yeah, I filled one out.
Let's go to Clubhouse, team of these guys at gmail.com. Keep sending them in, keep sending them in,
emails into us. Love to hear from it. I love to hear from you. Let's go to Freddie,
who sends in Dorsey Levens.
Freddy says, can we talk about how heated the locker room would get after an intense game in PE?
There's always a stupid made-up name of a game like Alaskan softball or four-corner's dodge ball.
The winning team would come in the locker room, bragging like they just won the Super Bowl.
Friendships were lost.
New friendships were made.
Like when you found out the goth kid had a cannon for a war?
God, I was just thinking about that.
There's always a kid you don't expect.
Wild card.
Yeah, you're like, dude, I took him in the sixth round.
He really came through.
also just bought my son a pack of NFL team pencils how great were these save your favorite
NBA or NFL team until last of course always kept the packers or supersonics in the pencil box
call me sally and snap ass with a spun-up gym towel snap well seriously though that shit hurts
and you always avoided eye contact with a psycho that was doing it from freddie wet wet tip on the
towel could be a weapon yeah four corners or five based
Did anybody ever mess with five base where you guys are from?
Like we did?
Five base was insane.
Just kickball with two extra bases or three.
But you were like running all over the place.
There was like traffic jams.
You had to dodge people.
Y'all could rally up on one base together.
Dude, any throwouts?
Anything with throwouts, I'm down.
Like anything where I can hit somebody with a ball.
I'm like, we can really do this.
That's why dodge ball got a little crazy.
Throwouts.
Yeah, right.
That was always tough.
Throwouts because I just felt bad.
Because there's fun, but then like, damn, like the one shake we get smoked in the face.
Mary, we get smoked in the face with a ball.
You're like, babe, you knew.
We both signed.
Your friends are like just face so red holding in their laughter and you're trying not to too.
It's tough.
I would go, I would go all out, dude.
My, like, dudes in my grade didn't care.
There'd be somebody that, like, fell down and, like, three of us would be like, like,
Like standing over and hit him with the ball
And the kid on the ground would be laughing though
He's like dude I fell
Like it's what it's what it gets
Yeah
I just had a few in my class
I just remember that it was all fun in games
Until Morgan got hit
You know because
You know
Soft ass
One of my friends just had to
Couldn't restrain himself and just like throw it at her feet
Now I had to literally
Ruin face plans
Harry with the red dodgeball.
Come on, man.
I mean, it's the name of the game.
And then our whole school got those soft
dodge balls and like three of them got lost.
So when you play dodgeball, we just, we just
had three soft balls. I was like,
oh, the real squishy ones.
Yeah, I was like.
That you couldn't really, you couldn't get any velocity on them.
And when you did, it would be like,
right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The toughest curve. I was like, what are we doing?
So there's schools out there that
play with like real red like
like those balls like that's
insane probably not anymore dude
I bet dodge ball is like
absolutely just eradicated
from school now
bro so much fun when I heard we were
playing dodgeball it's like oh
dude when you pick one off
ooh
that was so sick
I always forgot they could do that
just somebody just like
like Ed Reed and then you're out
um
Feel like such a bitch.
Like you read somebody's eyes, you know, and you just scream across your side.
Bro, what a move.
What a move.
Yeah, see you bitch.
Sassy.
And then you get hit.
Right after you catch it, you get fucking hit.
God damn it.
Let me be cool in front of my crush.
Jump rope for heart.
Hoops for heart.
Hoops for heart.
Had a stack team.
Always got beat by the team that wasn't stacked.
Like a throw-together team with.
somehow like beat like the good team.
I just remember how much it got leveled up when you went from jump rope for heart to
hoops for heart.
That was a big day.
It was a big year.
Hoops or heart?
Next year is hoops for heart dog.
We're not doing jump rope.
We're playing.
I couldn't believe it.
I was like, are you sure?
Like we're just about to play basketball?
I don't know.
Jump row for heart was kind of a nice little.
I got like tired of jump roping.
I was like, oh my God.
Yeah.
How much long are we doing this?
The whole day?
I should get my heart check out.
It was always a letdown.
It was always a letdown when you had to go back to your, like,
home room and do, like, classwork after that.
How do you expect us to work on anything?
We just jumped up for six hours.
So true.
From James.
Back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back.
Chris Berman voice.
What's up, guys?
Been listening to the pod for a few weeks.
And I've been binging all that.
episodes. Quickly realize I'm the exact target audience. Sports fan of my early 30s from the Midwest
and grew up going to Catholic school. Or 40. Yep. Love all the niche references. They're legit hilarious.
Keep up the great work. Thanks. Don't know if this has been talked about already on the pod, but want to ask anyway,
since baseball season is coming up, I want to hear what your guys's walk-up songs would be if you were in the big leagues.
Slept my ass with Barry Bond's elbow guard while John Miller and Joe Morgan called Sunday Night Baseball in 2002.
Jimmy. Oh my God. Sunday Night Baseball.
When there's a score update?
So comforting.
Yeah.
So happy.
John Miller,
just one of those guys.
You're like,
there's no way that you talk like that
just at dinner?
I don't know.
That's just how you talk.
All I know is John Kruck, bro.
You know John Miller.
Old,
decently heavyset guy,
white hair around the ring,
glasses.
I don't know.
I don't.
I'd have to hear it.
What would my walk-up song be?
That's a tough.
That's like an all-time.
I don't know who he is.
I got to hear it.
Cry.
That was amazing.
That was really good.
It's so perfect.
So summer.
Walk-up song?
Walk-up song would probably change a good amount.
It's always the big question.
What would your walk-up song be?
Mine would probably be something Frank Sinatra.
Dan,
da-dan-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
I don't even know what that is.
Is it Frankson?
Yeah.
Wouldn't be that one, probably.
Might be luck be a lady.
No clue what that is.
Mine would just be ludicrous when he's in like,
when he features on like a top 40 pop song.
Just like the whitest thing.
But God damn.
Every time Ludacris features on like the whitest song ever,
I'm like, this is so sick.
or the Mandalorian theme
that would be
I did that actually
at a celebrity softball game
as my walk up and it worked out pretty well
because it comes in real
it's like real dramatic
and it comes in real
real strong
God is a tough one
starts slow so this wouldn't be the part
you have to be like
whoa
now batting
the center fielder
number four
for the Chicago Cubs.
Joey Molanaro.
Wait, right here, right here.
Joey Molanero.
Oh, you had it timed out.
I told Ian Hap to do that.
I've been waiting, and I don't think he still has.
And he said he would, but it's all good.
Just goes up to bat.
Can you take me higher?
That would be a good one.
With the Sheffield thing.
Oh man
Just grabbing my dick
27,000 times
Can you take
Readjusting my cup
Might be good
Nookie
Mm-hmm
Chocolate stuff
Yeah
Yep
Any of those songs
Can you take it all
For the Nookie
What for nookie
It's just one of those days
That would be sick
Let's go to
I think that we did this last week
Yeah we did that one last week
Yeah we did that one last
week. Let's go to Kurt.
It's just a thank you card.
Okay.
Wow.
Hey, burpee boys. I love the show and listen every week.
Because this isn't a reminiscent pop cast, here's my question for you.
Do you both have a specific smell, sound, action, etc., that takes you back to a specific
moment in your life.
Here are a few of mine.
Sound.
Before meets, we would bring four huge portable speakers into the locker room and blast bang
a rang by Skrillix.
Ooh.
While banging on lockers.
Station definitely didn't know about that.
That's crazy.
Four?
Action.
In college, whenever someone forgot to lock their door before going to class,
we inevitably had to mess with them.
Our favorite thing to do was get a five-gallon bucket of full of ice
and dump it in their toilet.
Then one guy would shit on the top of the pile of ice,
lock the room away for the person to return.
It would make their room wreak for days
and was always good for a laugh in the frat house.
Jesus.
Okay, I'll go ahead and golf.
But first slap my ass, so I have a reason to send you a thank you card.
yo that's committing
had it yeah i just like four speakers
but also the shit story i know man like damn
how do you time up your shit
like me and my friends would do that and nobody would have to shit
we'd be like all right well seeing that situation though
there's like his group you know they definitely just had just like an on command
shit guy
yeah at any point in time he can shit left guard just
i guess i could probably like manifest one up real quick if we needed it
Yeah.
Some makes them to work.
I can sum in some shit real quick.
Hold up.
Give me like 13 minutes.
Sound.
What was the question?
Oh, that takes you back.
What was I doing the other day?
Really got me.
Oh, dude.
I was in Party City the other day when they were closing.
Yeah?
Oh, my God.
It kind of made me really sad.
I don't even know if that's part of the question.
But usually when I go into Party City, it reminds me at like old video days.
And we would like go in there and get some stuff for a video.
And I went in there and they were like closing.
I was like, ah, it's not real.
Went in.
Just everything was gone.
I was like,
oh,
wait,
it's really,
like you weren't,
you didn't mean just like closing time for the night.
Like,
it's closing forever.
All of them.
Dude,
I think Spirit Halloween just took them out.
And on the wall and balloons,
it said,
thanks for partying with us.
I was like,
oh, God.
Oh,
that got true.
And it was Sunday.
Oh.
It was Sunday.
Like,
you know,
Sunday,
like,
from four to five,
there's like a shift in my entire mood.
And I was like,
that might be it right there
Sunday nights every time
Sunday nights I'm like I want to start a family
and Monday rolls around
I'm like what what happened to me
Sunday night I'm like I want a girl friend
yeah me and
more of these guys origin
me and Ben back in the same days
when we'd be like editing a video on his laptop
at like 4 a.m.
Yeah, he'd be like need some food to be
like it was probably because the night before
we went to Party City
we were making no money off the video
or in general at all
but would somehow spend like $120
on things for that video
Oh yeah
Just like eight sunglasses
Bro yeah that's life dude
Four wigs eight sunglasses
Some face paint
What are we gonna do?
Yeah bro
It's good
We just locked ourselves at the radio studio
Because that was the only place we could be
Where it'd be like open all out
I still do that to this day.
Same exact thing.
Four of wigs, face paint,
edit for the rest of the day.
17 views.
Gotta get them out, baby.
That's life.
That's life.
Sound?
Yeah, a few.
The 60-minute tickers, a big one on Sundays
at like 5.48 p.m.
during football season.
Oh, boy.
here we go.
No, please no, please no.
I think I stopped watching football because of that.
Just only Fox games.
Yeah, couldn't do the CBS games.
Had the CBS, yeah, the 60 minutes tickered,
and you're like, well, homework, shit, paper, shit.
This games are almost over.
Steelers lost, damn it.
Oh, well, your team loses, too.
Then you see the slate for next week.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
I'm like, oh, they're playing next.
Oh.
Got to go to New England.
No, it's just like
How do I make it through six more days
Until I can do this again
Right
But my grades already suck
God, the worst grades
North Korea is gonna attack
I have no idea what's going on
But that doesn't look good
I'll probably fail school
In between now and then
Right
Probably get held back
But then there would be like
Kind of a reassurance
I'd be like
See I mean
Not that big of a deal
My grades suck
Because the world's gonna end anyway
Yeah
Just everything
You're like oh my God
science quiz
Jesus Christ
My dad told me I have to go to Perry
If I get another C
I don't know
It's 60 minutes
That Ebola is coming for all of us
So I think that that's more important
I think
Just trying to figure it out
Just want to watch the Steelers
Against a Broncos next week
Just doing anything you can
To just make yourself feel a little bit better
To get the like family guy on TBS
At 9 p.m.
You're like all right
Maybe this isn't so bad
bad.
It was after prime time.
I was like,
maybe this isn't so bad after all.
After NFL prime time until that following Wednesday,
I was just down to the dumps every single week.
Wednesday I'd be like,
all right,
okay, maybe,
maybe there's like a weekend plan.
Like,
okay, things are looking up.
But dude,
that Monday and Tuesday just...
Tuesday.
Oh, Monday night,
football kind of save you a little bit.
Yep.
But it still was just like,
It's not the same. My mom won't let me watch it. It's on too late.
Tuesday is the February of week.
They try to make Tuesday cool. I'm like, shut up.
Two for Tuesday. 50 cent wing Tuesday.
Tuesday? Shut up, bro. What was the super Tuesday for college basketball?
I was like, I don't know about that. I get it. I see what you're doing, but it's not going to work.
I don't care about Duke on Tuesday.
All right, let's finish up with Austin. Austin was Front Row at the
these guys live back in December.
I remember this.
He sends in.
Here's the stats update through 57 episodes.
It's basically the pre-Zoom podcast era.
Brett Farv mentions 12 out of 57 episodes.
Sadly, he wasn't mentioned in episode four,
which should have been a full-blown tribute episode in retrospect.
Wait, we didn't.
I'm trying to, I feel like we did do that.
We didn't know that it wasn't a sports podcast on.
Christmas discussions, nine out of 57 episodes.
Wait.
low percentage, but I know the Christmas talk really started to heat up during the Zoom era of these guys.
Uh-huh.
Pretty cool stats, right?
Not bad for a fat guy.
Also, I'm going to introduce a weekly segment called the Clubhouse Callback in which I'll reference the highlights from past these guys' episodes for us to relive.
Stay tuned and keep up the great work, fellas.
I love that guy.
That sounds awesome.
God, man.
That'd be great.
That'd be awesome.
That'd be Austin.
I thought I said that at first.
That'd be Austin, dude.
That'd be so Austin.
Awesome, the most overused word of all time.
Awesome.
Shut up.
So, that's so awesome.
I remember, yeah, I had an English teacher in seventh grade that always got on.
Not everything's awesome.
True.
You can't say that that's awesome.
Don't talk about Ms. Schmidt like that.
No, there's Mrs. Spartan.
Wow.
I forgot about that.
I am going to limit the amount of times that you've used awesome.
Okay, I'm in seventh grade.
I used to go in the back of her class
and punch clean X boxes so hard
because you're mad or just because it was fun?
You know, like every teacher just has all those
clean X boxes you had to bring to school.
Did we go in the back act like we're sharp,
sharpened our pencil and just fucking
just so many flat Kleenex boxes back there?
Just because we were like, dude, I don't know.
There's nothing to do in class.
Just punching boxes.
I probably would have bull and ordered it
and punched it because she gave me a C-minus on paper.
I thought it was better on.
And then miss, miss the box, punch the wall, break your hand.
Can't play baseball.
Thank God.
Broken hand.
Mandalorian song comes on.
Broken hand.
All right.
