Episode Date: June 16, 2026

"YOU STRIPPED THE SCREW B, NOW WE GOT A WHOLE NEW PROBLEM" There is absolutely nothing that fires up a dad more than ripping a vacuum cord out of the wall from ten feet away or leaving the hallway light on for an extra ten cents on the electric bill. We play Mel's Best Available (things that piss off ur dad) from slow drivers in the Walmart parking lot to the absolute tragedy of a fast food place messing up an order so bad that your mom just eats cereal.We also look back at the chaotic high school days of playing NCAA while taking whiffs from a punishment "fart bottle". Do the boys talk about Reebok NFL jersey cinch bags? Nahhhhh Do they realize every dad just secretly wants to be a sports announcer like Tim Kurkjian nooooo they don't talk about that.

Tickeys. Ticies. These guys, 190. Cool new kit there. Your kit. Yep. Nike pop up. Had to go.

World Cup type-ish. I forgot that L.A. is just pop-up. Nation, dude. Silver lining. Pop-up Nation? Dude, I stationed didn't know. Staten had no idea. Station was oblivious.

Now, at a pop-up, is that better prices? Or is it worse prices? Because it's a pop-up and more exclusive. It's better, but the thing with pop-up, pop-up nation, you got to get there like the first day, for sure. Pop-ups usually lasts like a weekend. first hour people I'm not that I don't know

I've never been kind of been that guy but I'll roll up like three hours in pop up nation always like a discount but you just like if there's a limited supply of something like the people at the beginning of line

are grabbing that like I was I was like there's gonna be no more kits for sure like I was like I'm out on that we'll just see what else there is but I was early enough to get one thank God

but it was cool yeah dude i'm kind of it's it's i'm kind of having a hard time like wrapping my head around the fact that the world cup is in america like not only have a pop-up nation but our nation is actually a host because you're like growing up i mean the world cup was always like it was in brazil it was no who knows whoever yeah madrid greet i don't know it was just like yeah it's like i think it's tape recorded i don't know i'm excited about it but who knows what's going on it's always dark while I'm watching because the time change. I don't know.

Now they're just like playing in Gillette. Wait, they're here? They can do that here? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Like I flipped on a match the other day and I was trying to figure it out what it was because I was like, all right, I know it's somewhere in here.

And then they pan out one and it's like, it's the Levi Stadium in Santa Clara where the 49ers play. Okay. Okay. Okay. I mean soccer matches Everyone wants to complain

about America until they're in America Okay All I've been saying All I've been saying Dude past three days Way back Every time I leave

I live Oh I love it I love it We got We got a little Mel's best available.

Oh, uh-oh. Daddy's home. Father's Day, Mel's best. What are they doing? We'll see. Ding-Tong come near way. We'll be back.

Father's Day, even though Daddy's never home because I'm on air, six to midnight. That's not PM to AM. That's a.m. to a.m. baby. Uh-oh.

Six a. m. To be midnight the next day. Not going to be home the month. Filming in for Amino Hassan Oh Filling in for John Kroc

You guys didn't know this guy New baseball Oh Filling for Krucki I needed to get the full low Ricky I needed that full experience It's supposed to be my day They say daddy

What do you want to do I want to be on air Decorate your summer plate uh-oh who woo-woo all right Mel's best available though Mel's best available stuff that pisses off your dad

in honor of Father's Day God, isn't there so much I'm a little scared though because mine's pretty like pretty specific but I don't know, maybe not maybe not yeah I think that's what I was about to say is that my list definitely a lot of influence from my pops

as it should be. But I think it's one of those things that like kind of the basis of the show, you'd be surprised about how when you get super specific, how relatable it is to a lot of people. Yeah. I got one. I know it's pretty universal. You first,

though, you first. Okay. Melos best available. Stuff that pisses off your dad. And I'm honor of Daddy's Day, Father's Day coming up this Sunday. Got to take this one.

I feel like it just never fails in any situation. No, I don't think you do. Never fails in any situation situation. I'm going to go with slow drivers. We're going to slow in the fast lane? Dude, and it doesn't even have to be on the interstate. It's almost worse when it's not on the interstate. Like if you're just in suburban Greenwood and the speed limit,

it's, you know, 40. But somebody's going 34 for some reason. Dude, the first time, yeah. The first time you really, like, your dad's had enough, like a slow guy in front of him, just passes him on a double line road.

I'm like, oh, okay. We're doing it. He's doing it. Daddy's home. Just broke him, man. And honestly, it's more, even down the line, it's,

the slower you're supposed to go, the more mad he gets. Let me explain. So, yeah, on the interstate, the fast lane, you know, that's one thing. But at the end of the day,

everyone's still going, you know, 60 to 70 plus. It ratches it up more and more. So like I said, if you're on like Morgan Tau, not a local pod, and it's speed limit's 35, somebody's going 30.

I mean, we're just out for a side. day stroll. You go into a, you go into a parking lot for like a grocery store. Oh man. Oh, dude, that, that's a tough situation. It's over. Too many people, people not know what they're doing.

People stopping when they're not supposed to stop. They can go. People, he gets upset when people are like letting people walk, you know, taking, taking too long to let the people walk from the store to the parking lot. Yeah, I guess anybody can go. Yeah. You know, everybody can go. Everybody can go.

I'll just turn my car off. I'll just park right here. Is it okay if I just... Go ahead. No, go ahead. Dude, that's so funny. Dude, I think my dad, like, 45 people go one time, like, into the bit. He was like, you too.

Because it was just pissing him off. So I think you rolled down the window. Come on. Yep. Just sitting there forever. Cars honking behind him. No, everybody can go. I was like, dude, this is crazy.

Slow. Yeah, dude. They're actually, we do need to have like a driver's ed segment. During driver's ed, there needs to be like a parking lot. I wonder what driver's ed is like now. We should all probably have to retake it. That's a good point. Yeah.

If you really think about it. You got to renew your license every, what, four or six years. So you probably should have to go in there. And I don't want to give anybody any ideas because I certainly don't want to sit through that. But you're probably not right or not wrong. Roundabouts. I mean, there's a bunch of new stuff. Yeah. I'm still in roundabouts like, I don't know.

Good, I'd. Yeah, so I felt like that was pretty universal. And it's really just like top of mind because no matter where it is, you could literally, you'd be in the happiest place on vacation. Nowhere to be, nothing to get to. You're good to go. You should be the most relaxed you've ever been. Still in the parking lot of Walmart and Destin, Florida. I mean, these assholes just have no idea.

It is insane. Yeah, that'll just fire your dad right up. We have nowhere to be. Like, you know, there's no time constraint. We're not late. No. We got all day to buy, like, the fruit and snacks at Publix. Mm-hmm.

Anywhere. Yep. Any time. So drivers. Yeah. All right. Fire us up. Next one, taking it off the board.

Mel's things that piss your dad off Leaving lights on Man Bro Some PTSD there And I know like this is a very universal Like cliche Thing your dad gets mad at

But my dad punched a hole in the wall Because of it Why? Because you guys like went on a trip to Michigan For three and a half days And then came back And that light was still on I just didn't know

I just don't care even to this day about that. Like I'm like, I don't like walking into dark houses. So I'll turn lights on, leave for three, four, five hours,

whatever, come back. I like coming in a house with light. I'm like, okay, yeah, I'm in a better mood. Bro,

when I was a kid, though, like, I just didn't know. I forgot. My dad screamed at me. I left, and I left it on again after the yell.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. never I think it's the most mad I've ever seen anybody Was it your bedroom light? No I was like the I think it was like the bathroom light or something

Uh huh And I'm always like oh I thought I thought Amory was going in there after me You know what I mean? And I probably did But I was just like whatever Bro You don't always got me

Was hallway lights Mmhmm I like those on And but you're not, you're just not really, you're not thinking of that. Because if you're in your room and you're leaving, there's at least kind of a checklist in my head where I can see like, okay, yeah, it makes sense to just like flip off the light if I'm not going to be in there. And we're leaving. But the hallway, I'm like, yeah, this hallway is just, the hallway is just lit? Yeah.

It's not even registering to go find in the, and the light, the flip is always in like a pain in the ass spot. Hey, I'm kind of scared. I don't want to go down there. Yeah, just leave that shit on. But it's always the hallway, man. So, like, when we be coming back home and you'd be able to see our house and it'd be pitch black out night and they just have a little faint light coming through the window. You're like, God, the hallway again.

Got me again in the hallway. Never know. And I don't like turning the hallway light off. I'm like, is it closed? Can we go up there? Like, when there's an upstairs and all the lights are off, I'm like, guess I don't need to go to get the. that thing in my room.

All the lights are off. Like, I'm not going up there. Dude, my folks are so bad about it that they turn off all the shit in a hotel room. I'm like, come on,

dude, that's where you crank it up. Right when I walk in a hotel room, ca, all the lights, pop, pop, pop, pa,

TV on, never turns off. Never turns off. I'll turn the coffee machine on. No coffee in it. I'm like, this ain't my bill. Shit,

run it up. The water in the shower, not even in it. I'll open the window. AC. I don't even like the AC. Turn that thing on. Dad will like, he's always the last one out of the room

and he'll be waiting for him. But then he'll like go back. I'll also be like, I got to flip the light. You're like, what? No, keep him on for the love of God. And honestly, how much is it? You know? The light was on for five hours when we left. What, 10 cents? Here's a dime.

Nope. How much is it? Yep. And you kind of think, I remember thinking that as a kid, too, about your house. You know, because they'd be so mad about like the electric bill and it run it up and everything. I'm like, okay, does it run it up that much or do we just not have that much money? Or is it a combination of both? Yeah.

I can't even tell you what an electric bill is still. Don't look at it. I don't know. Is it $17? Is it $700? Couldn't tell you. I always feel like it's in like the 92 to 107 range. Has it ever been?

Yeah. Doesn't matter what Christmas. You think it'd just jack it all right. Yeah. All this thing. Dude, did your dad even turn Christmas lights off? Guys talking about Christmas.

We never do that. Um, God. Turn the lights off. Plugs a Christmas tree in though. Yeah. That's something your dad definitely does. Oh, 100. Gets the, gets the outside lights going too.

Off, let's go. Turn the race on before we get out of here. Becomes Clark Griswold, just house just absolutely lit on fire with lights. The hallway light, though. That, that $12.97. That's added to the bill. I don't even think dude if it's $12

that's kind of a stretch no way 12 bucks for a hallway light on worth it that's a good one though pretty solid universal all around here to start

let me try to plug my headphones in there we go sorry about that Ben you take over all right stuff that pisses off your dad

Mel's best available I'm gonna go head coach of their favorite team. Oh, God. Nothing more critical. Like, I feel like dads just have, just constantly have a bone to pick with whoever is the lead man for their favorite football team. Actually, my dad's pretty, like, pretty good about it. I think it's because he is a coach.

He, like, kind of knows how it goes. True. He's got the other side of it. Yeah. Because, like, I, I'm just thinking about like every Michigan coach that they've gone through. My dad, I'm always like, what do you think? Like, trying to get some tea. Like,

what do you think about that? Just sign Brady Hoke. What do you think? You know, in Michigan, all good things. I'm like, oh,

okay. Rich Rodriguez. I'm like, what do you think? Totally different offense coming into a pro style at Michigan. I think it's a good thing. I think it's a good thing, B.

Let's get some speed in Ann Arbor, B. I should have. whenever the hire happens, maybe they're a little bit more open to it. But I'm just talking like once they're actually coaching games, then I always got a problem with the head coach. Always frustrated with the way that program or that administration is being run.

You know? Yeah. Like who's your, who's, give me an example from your dad. Like what's one? He just couldn't. Oh, I mean,

you know, Mike Tomlin for years. But it's crazy because they'll want a Super Bowl, though. And then like the next year, not that good. And just, I said him out. I'm like, what about last year? Yeah. I just feel like it's something that everybody can rally around, you know?

It's a good talking point for different dads and whatnot. Yeah. You're all just looking for something that you can kind of know about but then also get collectively pissed. off about football coach. When you don't know what to talk about, you just got to complain about something. Exactly.

Mel's things that piss your dad off. Shoes on in the house. Talked about a couple weeks ago, bro. Like, I'd walk on the sides of my feet. Like, when you forget something, shoes are on, tied up, laced. I mean, that's a big commitment. Shoes are laced, double-knotted.

Oh, I forgot something in the house. you're not taking those off bro I would literally get on my hands and knees and crawl my dad saw me upstairs with shoes on I don't even know man I don't think I ever even did it I was so scared also it's so wild just the range of people's feelings on that it's not like a universal thing maybe maybe it is maybe I'm the one that's all messed up about like having shoes on in the house. But I feel like it's just such a case-by-case basis. And some people, like your pops are like absolutely not take them off

as soon as you step foot in the door. Maybe at best you have like a house slipper that you can, like if you want something on your feet when you're in the house, would that be the case? Just some slides? I thought Joe Po was a was a slipper guy. Big white side guy. Big Mickey Mouse toe guy.

Big loose socks on it. Hey Arnold toe. Hey Arnold toes. Yep. Sleeping with socks on, they're halfway off his feet. Loose is socks. This side of the Mississippi, bro. But he would just have...

Just some slides. No, he was never doing that, ever. Just socks. Never saw his... We'll saw his bare feet a couple times. Wow. Never forget that. Holy shit.

You ever see your dad's foot? Whoa! Emergency! Different creature. Yeah. I'm like, is that okay? I'm like, I don't think he's seen his feet in like 19 years. Big toenails, bro.

Oh, yeah. Cut you. I don't know. I've never heard my dad clip his toenails. I can't imagine what that sounds like. Somebody have a gun? Interesting. visual too.

Not only what that sounds like, but what it looks like. Somebody has a gun upstairs. No, dad's just clipping his toenails. Yeah, what? What are dads? Are dads, you know, our dad's like putting the foot up on the toilet, clipping them into the toilet? Are they sitting on the, on the ground?

Like, every way you do it, you just look like such a bitch. Mm-hmm. I don't know what someone told me about to put your foot on the toilet thing. And I was like, that's disgusting. Then I did it. And I was like, this makes so much sense. But I can't see my dad doing that.

Like, I can't see any dad doing that. How did dad's clip their toenails? Do they stop growing? Whether you turn like 40 or something? This is a great question. Because I can't even fathom or think about pretty much any dad have ever met, like, taking the time. Touching their feet?

And can you Dude has a dad ever touched His foot Hey Maybe this is like A Do dad's touch their feet? Do dad's touch your feet?

Shark Tank. Shark tank clubhouse idea of the week Maybe this is where we get in on like a male-centric dad-dominated Pedicure place. It's like it's like great clips for it's like sports clips for dad's feet. sports nails

can't even say nails in there they'll turn a dad right off yeah but it's like chop foot chops foot chops it's the it's the steelers font you know so it's looking like steel and hard

got a bunch of blades yeah chops I'm headed over to chops dude even my dad getting his hair cut it's a little too much much for him. But think about it.

Like you go in there and these dads, you know, they don't have to clip their own toenails so they can sit there and they could, hey,

you know, you can sit and you can smoke a cigar. And you can smoke a cigar while you're sitting there and getting all that taken care of. You know,

you got the old ball game on. You got reruns of sports center. You got PTI on in the afternoon. I'm going. I'm working there. You know? Like, can kind of become a little

community thing. Hey, you don't have to do it yourself. It's weird. You feel weird and gross and like a bitch, sit down to cut your toenails. Come on over to chops. Did dads cut their toenails? Did dads clip their toenails? Never thought of it.

Never seen it. I have no idea. My thing, though, is if you're going foot on the toilet, you say that's gross. What's more gross? Bottom of your bare foot on the under part of the toilet or having to pick up your chopped toenails off the ground. Where does it go? Like, I clip my toenail.

I don't know where, unless it goes directly into the toilet, I'm like, guess we'll see that in two months. I was going to say, you're just leaving them? You just cut and dry? I think that's what I used to do when I was a kid. I didn't do the toilet thing until like, probably like, I don't know, kind of recently. Easy cleanup, just flush this shit down. It's probably been like 10 years I've been doing this.

toilet thing. Hey, you're standing, right? So I just feel like if you're sitting and you're doing like this, that is just, I mean, let's be real. It's a little feminine. You know, you feel a little but if you, if you're standing, you got a strong stance. Yeah, dude. Ne up. Looks like you're just tying your, yeah. Athletic position, dude. You're kind of in like. Right. Runners form. Exactly. Not bad. But dad, I don't know. Our dad's sitting down. Crossing the leg on top. I think your toenails are softer when you're a kid so you can get away with that. When you're dead, your toenails are thicker than a DVD case. Krusty, man.

Krusty. You clip it the wrong way and you leave it like that. Roundhouse kick somebody to the face. Gash. Like that hockey player. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, shoes off.

See, that wasn't too big of a thing for me. Lights, yes. shoes not so much but what about dad's are hardcore that is not to be messed with i started doing shoes off in my apartment just to see what would change like is the floor gonna be like is it is it is it is it going to be less like do i have to sweep less i think it's all a myth dude floor's still kind of sticky crumbs everywhere shoes has been off for for two months yeah did you ever get yelled at when you're a kid for like going outside to get something with your socks on?

Like, dude. You know, like, like I'd have to go in the garage to get something and I'd go in there with my socks, bro. I would never hear that end of it. Hey!

You're tracking crap! It's in the garage! I'm like, it's kind of part of the house. It's kind of still inside. Like, the cement's a little softer in there. Like, it's not too dirty in the garage. Yeah, but see, that's what I was about to say is you always think that.

and I would always be like, yeah, like I was pretty light on my feet. This shouldn't be too bad. The damage shouldn't be too rough. Get back inside. Look, totally black. Black sock. Mm-hmm.

Sir black sock. Like, well, I guess I need to do more foot fires and foot ladder drills because apparently, I'm just a platypus and have super fat, fat, slow feet. All right, Mel's best available stuff that pisses off your dad. I've gotten slow drivers.

I've gotten the head coach of their favorite team. I'm gonna go with right here when a fast food place gets their order wrong. Yeah, this is on mine too, yo.

Oh my, dude. Man, those are some interesting moments in the car there, I tell you. I'd have to be the person to check to.

like I was in charge of checking to make sure they like going through every single one to make sure they didn't get it wrong. Eight Whopper Juniors in a bag. I got to check everyone. So it doesn't have Mayo. I'm like, oh my God. Then it's on me. If we get to the house and there's one with mayo on it.

Yeah. Well, you're secondary. You know, because he would have to get his riffs off about how, you know, these idiots can't get their order right. You say it to them three seconds before. they have it written down and they somehow can't match it up.

You know, what happens in that transition? How do I tell them? And it says on the screen what I've told them and what I'm ordering. And then three seconds later, it's in the bag the wrong way. How does that happen, Joe? That I don't know, man. I'm honestly just psyched that you let us get McDonald's. I know.

Like, I could care less about that onion. Your dad, or I make them read it back. read back the order. No. I see, I feel like your dad for sure would. He'd hit him with that sometimes. Like when it was like a pretty complex like

Wow. And you knew you knew too when you ordered in your head as a kid like eight they're gonna fuck that up. Yeah. Well see what's the thing is I can read it back real quick? I want to make sure. I come from a whole family of complex orders.

Yeah, everybody's got something with their stomach, super picky, you know. Yeah. Every time that we're ordering anything, it's always. I think it's weird if you don't. No bun on the burger. No, no, no butter on the bun, no cheese, just pickle, but with no cheese, no other condiments besides pickle,

extra well done, you know, all this shit. And what makes it, this is a caveat that goes into this pig for me as well. And so, and just the instance for themselves or for you and your dad, that's on the list. but it almost amplifies even more when they mess up the order for your mom because then your mom's piss and then that doubly pisses your dad off even more so not only is he one mad that they couldn't get the order correct

but then two he's mad even more so because his wife's mad oh my god that would make me mad too like you can take the bullet like as a dad you know what I mean like yeah I'll just eat the crap but you're right you're your girl I'll just pull it off

I'll just yank it off you know like if it's tomato or some shit like that but yeah dude the mom the mom gets her order messed up and then I and then hits him with a you know she kind of starts packing up the the burger or whatever

it's okay it's okay sorry one of the worst feelings I've ever had my life dude one time we went to Dude, it really was. I was like, I'll never forget this feeling right now. Like, I've never been more emotional. Me and Chiller went to Dairy Queen because we were like hyped to go to Dairy Queen.

My mom gave us money. So we're like, yo, we're driving there. My mom was like, get me this thing. We're all like, yo, triple fudge, blah, da, da, brownie, earthquake, Cac, Cacca, Blizzard, extra, blah, blah, blah. And my mom wanted like the, it was like the, it was like the, slush, I don't know, Arctic. The Julius?

The Julius thing? Nah, but it has like a little bit of slush and ice cream. And my mom was like, yeah. And she never asked for anything either. Yeah. So I'm like, oh, like even my mom's in on this. Mom's in? Yeah.

We get back. She's like, they didn't. It's not, you can have it. And I was like, are you sure? I was like, we'll go to a different dairy queen if you want to try a different dairy. Do you want mine? Like, oh, dude. She was just like, it's not, it's all good.

Dang. Are you mad? We didn't make it. I felt bad, bro. Sorry, Amy. That's tough. Yeah, but that would always do, the amount of times that that happened.

And then, like I said, my mom would, she would start to, it's fine. I'll just have cereal. Oh, my God. Dude, they have to do it on purpose, though.

I'll just have cereal. Dude, that is like, why is that the, fault when your dinner's messed up. It's like, I'll just have cereal. I think, I hope that a lot of the clubhouse listening right now just kind of got a little like chill down their spine because I know that has to be happening.

I'll just have something here. Then the whole dinner's room for everybody. Whole dinner's room for everybody. Mom's eating Cheerios. Guess I'll just have cereal. Dude, I remember that. Something happened. My dad was like, we're having cereal tonight.

I was kind of like, hell yeah, dude. Yeah, I know. I know. Yeah. Got like, Mom, I think that that's just what you wanted

and then you use this to get to that point. But, but you just want to be that bad. Honey bunch of votes the whole time. Okay.

Hey, what about, what about, what about when he got a complex order? And you're like, this happened to me, like I was with like my

friend's family when I was like 11. And they were people that would order on the menu and just be like, uh, eight with a sprite. Oh,

the number? And I'd be like, My mind, bro. I was like eight. What the fuck? And they didn't even like look. They're just like eight. I was like eight.

What is eight? Speaking of a different language, all of a sudden you feel like you're in like geometry class. You know, the times tables got a little too difficult for it. You're like, hold on. What do you guys?

Do you guys all just know? No mods. Just eight. Yeah. And then here I am. You know, I had to like, take one for the team. I was like, I'll take a two, like just how it is. Hey, lottery. Lottery.

You don't know what you're getting, babe. Check pot. I'll take two. And just how it kind of did, I was eating a bunch of shit I've never eaten in my life. I was like, this is good. Hey, I didn't want to be a, didn't want to be a bother. How about when you are out to eat with your, uh, one of your friends' families, probably the summertime. you're out to eat with them and they start with you for what you're going to order and you get like a sprite and then everybody else goes around and everybody else is getting a water um actually scratch mine uh we're there's a water family here wasn't aware don't want to add the extra two dollars and 12 cents to the to the bill um don't want to be a piece of shit I'll just have a water too no no no no

fine. You get whatever you want. But also you like order you kind of like order something that's like kind of it's not crazy but you feel everybody else, they're not on the same page. Like you get like an entree and then your your buddy gets just like a chicken tender appetizer and you're like, bro, you're leaving me out to dry

here at Chili's. Yeah. Or if you go the other way when like you're with your homie, you go out to dinner and they start just bawling out. And you look at your mom and you're like, guess we're balling out. So then you did like I'll take like a cherry lemonade. Something that's like seven bucks instead of a water. Yeah, I'm just going to go. We're just going to do all appetizers. The first time somebody ordered an appetizer and steven entree. I was like quite a breakthrough. Wait, you can just get that. Mm-hmm. Kind of thought it was illegal, you know? Totally. Kind of still feel weird.

asking the server. Is it okay if we just get an appetizer for an Andre? Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, I love I love the thought process of explaining to them your decision making. All right, so we're just, we're probably, you know, we kind of got to be somewhere after this, so I think we're just going to do light.

We'll do a little bit of appetizers. They're like, I don't give a fucking just get the fuck out of here. God dang. Just trying to turn and burn. Do you know what, though? I find myself doing it. I don't know if it's just a Joe Molanaro thing or a dad thing that just the switch flips.

But I do. We're down in Destin and we had to kill time because we had gotten the airbrushed t-shirts. And they're like, all right, well, we'll text you in like an hour or whenever that's ready or whatnot. So there's a little restaurant right by it. And we're like, yeah. So we get seated and the lady comes around. And she's just like, okay, can get started some drinks? What are we thinking for food?

I found myself just puking to her. we're just kind of killing time because we're waiting for some airbrush so I think we'll just do some fries maybe the nachos and we'll just kind of share it all you know nothing too crazy sometimes it's good if you you know they they know what you got going on yeah I think it's important context

there's a little conversation too well you said you guys need to go you want a box like you then like it puts it all in perspective right but then at the end of the yeah just at the end of the day I'm like you know she's going back there and just like don't give a fuck I guess

Airbrush family won't shut the hell up by catch up they're calling you airbrush guys Airbrush family won't shut up about getting out of here

Hey first time on vacation They're telling me everything Jesus Christ All right Finish us Give us give us

Give us another one here You've done Lights on And shoes on The house Mm-hmm Mm There's a

lot, bro. I know. There's going to be a lot of honorable mentions for me. Do your dad ever get on you about like, you're at a family party? This happened to me, obviously. You're at a family party and you, you like won't stop eating like dessert.

I just kept going back, dude. So this is your, this is your pick right here? Yeah, yeah, your dad yelling at you. Kids eating dessert? I'm getting too mad about you about, like, food or something. This just stands out to me, man. It's like, obviously, yeah. Set the scene.

Set the scene. All right. So, like, all right. We're going up there. Boom. All the food's ready. You know, I'm probably like, Thanksgiving.

Fourth of July. Not that this happened or anything. You know, get your, get your essential hot dog, maybe some watermelon or something like that, a little bit of baked beans. Boom, that's my first plate. And then I had this plan. And I was like, yo, like, I'm going to get like my food out of the way.

Then I'm going, boom, all dessert. Sure. Like, this is the dessert day for me. Not a bad plan. No, no. But it was like a little sneaky too because I was like, I don't, no one's ever done this. Like, it's usually a lot of food like in my family and then like dessert at the end. Like whatever.

There's a ton of dessert. But nobody's really just eat dessert the whole day, bro. I was doing it. Yeah. So first played, you know, didn't. have to ask. I was still pretty young at this time. Brownie, all this, you know, a little bit of fruit pizza, a little bit of all. Then second plate, like I saw my dad like, all right. You know, like, okay. All right. Didn't see this coming. By the, you know, when desserts out,

like there's kind of a little hesitation for everybody to jump in line. Boom. I was. So I was like, yeah. So two plates go down and then third plate comes around. My dad's like, A B, hey. Hey, just, hey, just like, he was like, you're going to, you know, you're going to get sick or something. You're running around. Just take it easy. A couple hours.

We'll see. But I just kept pressing, dude. Yeah. like maybe like 15 minutes went by and I was like yeah sure I'm waiting yeah and my all right my dad go ahead then he sees me walk up there again and he's like hey you're done you know what I mean he knows what's happening too like tonight smores like there's dessert all throughout the night too and I'm just going so I got to a point where he had like talk to me he was like hey no more dessert no you like you can't

Like, it was a bad look. And so I started sneaking it, bro. You feel thirsty. I found myself, well, I was like, this is dessert. Like, we don't get dessert like this all throughout the year. We got brownies. We got ice it. This is like heaven.

Yeah. So I started sneaking dessert, dude. All of a sudden, I found myself in my aunt's bathroom, just eating brownies and donuts. Did he catch you on the sneak? No. I was looking at him through the bathroom. window. Hey, but that's one of those that later on when you're driving home,

we're kind of dead tired from the whole day. He's just like, so how were those brownies in the bathroom be? And you're like, what? What? You're like, oh, my God. He does know everything. They know everything.

Egan brownies. That's some shit. Yeah, dude. When you have the realization that like your dad's way smarter than, not like book smart but like he just he's already done it he's already done everything so you're like oh shit when your parents like caught those your parents knew everything i'd be like how do they know everything yeah yeah at all yeah man and he wouldn't tell you how he knew you know you'd be like what what did you tell him pointing your sisters and shit probably blaming your cousin

somebody told your aunt you know somebody told him but he doesn't ever give it up up. He just like, fucking, he probably didn't even see you. He just knew you went away for a while and it was like, I'm going to get him. Yeah. Guys been thinking about brownies all. Yeah. It's actually a bit that he, my dad actually like, we'll say this sometimes. He'll be like, can I have some ice cream? Because I said it so many times in one night. Can I have some ice cream? He'll like, he'll like run it back now. I'll be like, remember when you're like, can I have some ice cream? I love that. I love, I love the lifelong bit. That's a great. And a family. Just wouldn't stop asking, bro.

All right, Mel's best available stuff that pisses off your dad. Pretty solid. I'm an honor of Father's Day. A few honorable mentions here. And then I'll let you. Well, you can go back and forth or I can get them out and you can go. Go ahead. Yeah.

Kids for getting books at school. Ooh. Not, yeah. Not really my dad, though. My mom for some reason. Pissed her clean. off. But my dad would kind of be like, all right, let's get your book so we can do your homework.

He like saw the big picture. My mom just had it. No. You forgot? Multiple, multiple times. I remember like just riding in the backseat of the car. My dad just eviscerating me. Eviscerating.

Dead quiet. Yep. Sports announcers. Oh, dude. This is a really good one. I know. I thought about going. This should probably take the place to the head coach of the favorite team.

I think I'm going to switch that in there. Sports announcers, because that's just so universal, dude. Oh, my God. And it's like, they can't take it? I don't know. I've never even thought that an announcer was bad ever. I'm just like, he's just like doing the thing.

But it's not even just guys who are on the game. I'm talking like the cowhirts the greenies or anybody who's on TV who's a commentator or you know and is talking about sports

dad's just if I can mute one mic you know I mean they just yeah I'd rather be deaf than listen to Greenberg you know but how come how come we can you know

you know because we're younger You know what the issue is? All those guys secretly want to do that for a living. So true. Your dad, you just wants to be a sports announcer. Does every guy? Hold on.

Does every guy? Is that every guy's secret dream? It's like, that's all it is, is this envy coming to its head, you know? Because they're like, wow, Colin Cowherd,

that guy gets paid that much. to sit and talk about the NFL for three hours a day. Dude, my dad won. I was making fun of a. Tim Kirchen, dude. We're in the car. He's like, you can tell this guy just never played baseball, ever just read a book about baseball.

Now he's doing this. I was like, dude. Nerdy guys. Yeah, nerdy sports announcers. I don't know, but in my head, I was like, he's kind of nice with the facts, though. I always feel like I'm learning something from Kirchen. yeah yeah it's like kind of a good tone too he's always kind of like bopping around on his segment

it's not that bad I always give him the benefit of the doubt Tim Kirchen how tall dude okay you guess first but you know where I'm going to I know what you're going to Tim Kirchen like incredibly small yeah I'd say best case for Tim Kirchon 5-6 Dude, this has happened before with a really short person and doesn't say baseball analysts and

Baseball Hall of Fame member Tim Kirchon is 5 foot 5. Yeah, pretty good, alright. I was thinking 5-4. All right, so we landed right in between TK-5-5, all right. TK-5-5. This is Instagram handles?

TK 55. Not bad, dude. Kind of hard. Pretty, pretty good nickname. Hey, you know, go down to TK.

555. You go real hard, though, like a Braves jersey with Kirchin on the back. That would go crazy, dude. Hey,

somebody get a Yankees jersey for the show at Grammarcy with the Kirchin on the back? Dude, that would go crazy. I would nosedive off the stage.

Like, uh, Why would it kind of make sense? I'd be like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, it's not that. Dude, I don't want to field. Kirchin 55, you're like, you know, that dude's just a lefty coming out of the pin. Yeah, long reliever.

55. 545. Sowed on, like the most legit, like spent like $275 on it. It would be so sick. Yeah, like Instagram pick. Kirkjun. Bases loaded, caption. I would have to like double or triple glance

because if I just saw that last name with 55 on the back of a pinstripe jersey, like I said, I'd be like, is that one of their younger guys who, I would be like, fuck, is that a young prospect

that I just am feeling, you know, hearing about? Kirkson, 55. Oh, man. A couple more.

honorable mention being rude to mom anytime like anytime you talk back or have anything negative to say at all you know don't don't bring anything out to the mom that'll set them off and then lastly kind of a long one here but I'd say when their kids are on the internet instead of doing something they're supposed to be doing like I remember many occasions I'd be on AIM or MySpace or something, and my dad would go off about how I'm not, like, working on my baseball swings or getting cuts in or, like, man, would that set him off, dude.

If he came home and I was just upstairs, bullshitting around on MySpace, reordering my top friends. He's like, and he's like, go crazy, man. Man, you think Alex Richie is sitting there, twiddling around on MySpace? No, Alex Richie's doing 250 swings a day. You're like, fuck.

It's a good dad, though, bro. It's a good dad. I know. I know. But it's just like that stuff that would absolutely, because he have your regular, if he'd get like mad or disappointed about something, but stuff I'm talking where he's going like catatonic.

Dude, when you're fucking around online, bullshit instead of like being productive or getting better. I honestly don't know how my dad even like stomachs me playing video games. Because sometimes I would just be playing NCAA online for like seven hours. It had to take everything in him to not be like, Hey. Yo, like go run sprints, dude.

I know. What are you doing? Go run routes. You're just playing what? And I would be eating cookies and all this shit during it. Like in the summer. The stupidest shit, the stupidest shit, man. Like a tray, like a lunch tray of like,

Twizzlers, chips of Hoy, Chewy cookies, a bottle of milk. Made it myself. Right. Rubier floats. Yeah. Just the whole day. I'm already thinking about that with Frank, too, dude.

It's a weird balance. Because at the same time, your dad probably was like, yeah, he's 16. Let him be 16 for a bit, you know? But then I think about, you know, let's just get deeper now. But then I think about those other dads that are just like, no, you're not doing that.

I'm going to be a helicopter dad. We're going to go get better. And then I'll see out. Their kid's the one who's on the cover of Sports Illustrated. But sometimes, yeah, those dads are. Or they totally spin out and their kid gets all fucked up. It's a case by case. It's a just in case.

All right. For me, honorable mention. This is a recent thing, very specific, but it's hilarious to me. My dad just loves the term, I think. I would leave like the laundry room The laundry room door at my dad's house It's a weird The handle

It's from like 1954 But if it doesn't close all the way The wind blows And it blows the pilot light out In the furnace And then all the heat Goes off And bro I've probably not closed the door

78 times Every time So 78 times Be it blew the pilot light out well if you leave the door open it blows the pilot light out my dad just like dude i swear he just loves pilot light you just love saying that i don't know what that is what is it's like the light in your like heater system that like like makes heat makes it go but if that blows out like no more heat bro then one time we didn't have heat in my college house and somebody was like

dude i called my dad it was because of the pilot light i was like oh shit like it like gave me B, B, it blew the pilot light out again, bro. Like every, it was like every, in one time he snapped. You can't, you got to quit blowing the pilot light out. I'm like, you just like saying pilot light, bro. The pilot light, dude. Shit. So bad.

I haven't had anything like that, but yeah. A, one of these days, dude, you're going to have to relight the pilot light. Are you thinking about Coach P? Yep. Pilot light be. Hey. Blow that you blow that pilot light out. Hey, no more heat. All right?

Keep the door closed. It would be complaining. These guys complaining that they're cold. He's got their feet. He's got the pilot line. It's the pilot like you don't know. Cold House. My house will back.

All right. A couple more and I'll shut up forever. ripping the vacuum cord out of the wall from like 10 feet away. Did it every time when I was a kid. It was just so fun to me. Like, like, you know,

I know, but, okay, so you wouldn't be like, you wouldn't be vacuuming trying to help out, and then all of a sudden you take it a little too far. And then it yanks. You're just sitting there,

just tug a war in it. Yeah, I'm like wrapping up the court. You know, I'm done vacuuming. I'm done. And I don't want to walk all the way over the wall. So I'm like,

Hey, just Hey, take your time to do it right. This is why things don't last. Take your time to it right. Holy shit. You mess with things, they break. Then you wonder why they break. I'm like, oh my God.

Man. Pretty right though. Hey, when you're like unscrewing something or I don't even know why I was even building something, but, hey, you strip the screw. You stripped it. the amount of times you stripped it

you guys explain this one to me too okay so when you unscrew something like chaotically like a nail from a wall or something a screw like screw shit okay so you're unscrewing it but I'd be like just not doing it like

I'd just be like and I'd like do it so fast that it would like the grooves in the top of the screw would like flatten out so you couldn't like get a grip on it with the screw driver that you're unscuring it with. So I'd be like, Dad, I can't unscrew it because I'd tried multiple times, but I did it like an idiot.

Someone dad would come over there and be like, you stripped it, B, and I'd be like, you stripped a screw. And I'd be like, what do we do now? Like, it'd be like, you'd be like, we got to figure out how to get this thing out. And I'd be like, fuck, it's all my fault, bro. You stripped it, B. Stripped it. You stripped it.

I'd be like, oh my God, you have to like take this whole thing apart. And this, he's going to be so mad. Hey, you stripped a screw, B. God damn it. Oh, yeah. One more. What did you say? No, just so hyper-specific.

It's so funny. Stripped it. Hey. Hey, you unscrew it like that. You're going to strip a screw. Then we got a whole new problem. So, yeah. We had a big issue with our refra.

I don't know why we'd never fix this, but we had the same refrigerator, probably like everybody, for like 28 years. And the inside, the shelves on the inside of the door were like they just weren't really in there that well and we always put like jelly jars and a bunch of heavy

stuff in the door so my dad would go to open the fridge Oh shit all the shelves inside the door bro and it'd be like after he was done making a point too so he'd be like yeah and that's why we do it that way and that's why Rich Rod's a great hire

and that's why Brady Hoax is going to change this program program. Bro, all the shelves, all the jelly, all the barbecue saws. Just flat on the ground, bro. What a mess. Set him off, dog. And it was probably somehow my, you can't put that much stuff in the shelves. You know the shelves are, B.

I laughed. He was like pissed and then that happened, bro. And I started laughing. Oh. Yeah. I just, I just walked around the neighborhood. for like six hours. That could go on this list.

Hmm. Giggling while your dad's pissed. Oh, dude, that's number one. That's number one. That's number one, bro. Number one of my whole life. Smirk? A smirk when your dad is getting into you?

Getting pissed? Dude, I... So many bad decisions, but I can't control it. You're laughing? You're laughing. It's not your fault that Joe King was over. that day, all right? And he was making me laugh. My brain will do it too.

Like if my dad's mad at me, my brain will go back to something really funny like two days ago and I'll be like, bro. I've told this, or you probably heard this, but one time my dad like choked on a, like some watermelon and it was like the funniest thing of all time. And, uh, dad just dying, hilarious.

Oh, it was so funny, bro. Because like, he had to like self, he had to figure it out when my dad was choking on watermelon. he had to like and I was like trying to help him but it was really like stuck in his throat and I like didn't know what to do so I was like laughing I was like he'll figure it out and he like he did all dude but he was so uh he like thought it was kind of funny but I was still laugh I laughed about it for like three days straight but in the car on the way to school the next day bro I couldn't even look at him because I thought it was so funny and he was mad about

it. Hey, you laugh one more time, dude. I'm facing the window on the way to school. Just remembering my dad almost dying, funniest thing ever. Oh, bro. Ooh, it was so funny. Oh, man. Glad.

Hopefully never in danger or life-threatening situation around the life-diting situation around the police. I will be laughing. I'm so crazy All right Let us know yours in the Discord In the comment Stuff that pisses off your dad

Mel's best available Special Father's Day edition Let's head on over to the clubhouse These guys Team These guys at gmail.com Been doing it for two years Can't get the email right Team these guys at gmail.

I don't even know it com You guys know it Because you keep filling it up And for that we say thank you will lead us right to Stephen. To you. The listener. The listener.

Snyder Stamps. These guys, oil change place. Anthony Gonzalez. That's one United States representative, Anthony Gonzalez. All right. Snyder Stamps, these guys oil changing place. I guess not a question, rather a random thought I had. Joey and Ben would run.

an awesome oil change place. Yelling on random codes like B-48 on Bay 1. Might even be a good video idea. Love the show. Slop my ass and roll me down the hill with those people that would... What? Roll me down the hill with those people that the cheese. That cut the cheese?

The cheese rolling. Oh, wow. Oh, shit. Oh, my God. Wait what? I'm looking at the video he sent. Dude, that's crazy. You've seen it.

You've seen it. It's like the steepest hill of all time in like Scotland or something. something and people just I think there's a wheel of cheese that goes down and like the person who I don't know what it is but they're literally just like flying sending

their bodies down this hill sunda so before it yeah I see it all just be numbers of football players that we like you know that would be a fun job D93 Dwight Frini thought of the dude from the Titans for some reason

was there a good 93 on the Titans interior de lineman? I don't know. It's all right. Not a numbers football podcast. No, no. For those who are, for those of you just joining us,

not that it ever be that. Love you, Snyder. All right. From Brendan. Homer Hanky. These guys, we've got a weird fandom quirk that I think only the clubhouse

could truly appreciate. My friends poke fun at me for my teams because they're all over the map, but there's a weird connection between them that I find intro. My dad's whole family is from Pittsburgh, Bittsburg. So I was born to be a diehard Steelers fan, whether I wanted to or not.

Naturally, getting my first terrible towel was a big moment in life. And as an adult, I now have several in my collection. It's my kind of guy. I was born in Minnesota, my dad and I would go to 20 plus twins games a year. Whenever the twins make the playoffs, the local newspaper, makes a new, quote, Homer Henkee, which is a similar concept to a terrible towel. But with the texture of a Hankie, it's basically a requirement. to go to your local grocery store to buy one before you go into the game.

Naturally, in my diehard fandom, I still have one from every year in my lifetime that the twins make the playoffs and make sure to order one every time to this day. Fast forward to my college years. We had since moved to Texas and I attended Texas A&M. Come to find out, they also have their own version of this, the 12th man towel. Especially as a student, it's expected that you bring yours to the game and it becomes part of your game day attire. I've still got about 10 in my house that I've acquired over the years.

With each of these, they were the first. in their sports are really a concept like this. The rally tiles are common now for teams, especially in the playoffs, show up to the game, you get your towel. Weird part is that practically all of my teams have a version of this, and they're not in the same city. Is it more common than I realize, or do I just have the most random, unique set of circumstances

that I happen to be a fan of all these teams? Are there any other team-specific staples that would fall into this category? Slap my ass with my three-foot high stack of terrible towels, 12th man towels, and Homer Hankies. sent with Siri. Appreciate that. Brendan, I don't know if you're a first time emailer, but keep on coming back. Yeah, I mean, see, that's, you know,

you want to talk about a Molinar minute. That's something that always pisses me off. It's, yeah, with NFL teams, just, yeah, okay, now every time there's a big game or any time you're in the playoffs, now you just have it too. Like, you know, the Steelers come and play, and so you got to have your version of it, right? Like, you know, get to. your own, this is your own thing. This is, do you started doing this long time ago.

Started doing this a long time ago. This is the terrible towel is ingrained into the Pittsburgh Steelers and who they are and what they do and a part of that culture and that franchise and that team. So just find something else. Get rally drums or something. You did get posters or hats or fucking, I don't know, just find something else. Hells are sick. The Colts and the,

and every team does it. But yeah, I just have so many memories of, you know, you turn on a playoff game. It's January. It's cold as shit. They're in a dome somewhere. And they always open with the crowd shot, you know? And the whole crowd, everybody's doing.

I'm like, what fuck is this? Yeah. As a Steelers fan, it would kind of get annoying. But just thinking big pick, dude. They're just cheap. I remember the first time I went to a Colts game and they had towels, I was like, yo, this is so sick. Colts towels?

like I'm keeping this forever. Do I have an IU towel right here? Look at this shit. Is that from the Rose Bowl? Hangs on my door every day. Fast physical relentless Indiana football. Fires you up, but I'm like, this is a cool thing.

It's a great motto. It's a great mindset. And I think that's what it comes down to. You hit the nail on the head. It's really, it's just you can mass produce and for not a big cost. And so all these teams are looking for something to market to rally around.

So it's like, yeah, it's just get fucking 75,000 towels. You can print anything on them? I do hate how like, it's just too close to home when like, I don't know, the Broncos are playing the Steelers and then Broncos have an orange rally towel.

Come on, Dahl. Seahawks, 12 fan towel. There's a bunch of them. Mm-hmm. Have a couple pacers ones that are yellow. Yeah, me too.

I was hanging right there, but I reorganize my basement. So they're cool to have, but I just, yeah, it bothers me when, you know, that is, it's third down. It's third and eight and you're at, you know, the RCA dome or the Superdome or wherever it is. You're like, just be loud or figure something else out. It's our thing. That's what we do. I think, I think what, I think what may have actually the worst part of it is when they, they, name it something that is just like the you know the off brand version of the terrible towel

you know like the Bengals will have like the Sinty cloth or no way I just made that up but I'll see them because whenever you know that will happen a lot on my Steelers Twitter like you know leading up to the game

a Steelers account that I follow or someone in the Steelers media or something will like quote tweet and I'll be from the team that we're playing on the road that week. And it's like, you know, Broncos Nation, get ready to wave those. Yeah. You know, those Denver dirty rags. You're like, God, dude, shut the fuck up. Bring your dirty rag.

Wow. Gross. That is a quite, it's a very eclectic fandom, though. Brendan, that's okay. I have an eclectic fandom myself. So totally understand. the twins, the twins and the Steelers. I bet there can't be a whole bunch in that category.

Homer Hanky. Hanky, dude. That's, yeah. Hey, all those in your kitchen? So sick. On the oven. Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're having a dinner party?

Oh, sorry, I got something. Do you have anything? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just here's this Homer Hanky. Oh, wow. Keeps it on his face. Doesn't want to, like, ruin the towel. Like, no, I can't.

I can't wipe my mouth off on your home or Yankee. Clubhouse bar, it's the only shit that people are having. No paper towels, no napkins. You just get fan-tows. A friend version of terrible towels. Just like the week six game when the Colts play the Titans towel. It's all we got, man. It's all over the place.

The old school, old school Colts and Titans helmets with the old school face mask. The Jim Harbaugh. on it. Now we're talking. Carrie Collins. Carrie Collins, holy shit. It's got a cam.

Classroom draft. What up, B? What up, Molenard? Want to weigh in on the classroom draft as a teacher who participates in them. Yes. When I taught middle school, the other teachers in the grade and I

would get together every quarter to mix up the rosters for the enrichment period at the end of the day when we did stuff like Team Bollins. building games or study all time for homework. There's a lot more strategy involved than just picking the smart kids. For example, one teacher took a kid who was an absolute menace first pick, first round one year, because he never showed up to school.

You've also got to pick the kids who you knew were good at stuff like taking attendance and organizing materials so you could delegate that stuff. Also, if you got a crew together who had all a common interest and made it way easier to plan an activity. Example, you got a bunch of boys? Surprise kickball, period. All drama kids? Let's watch a movie.

The draft was always a crazy day as a teacher. Couldn't make or break the quarter sometimes. Smack my ass with one of those Reebok drawstring bags made out of an NFL jersey. Cam sent from the iPod shuffle. Damn, those bags were crazy. I never had one. But I was like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Okay. Like a jersey material for the whole bag. Yeah, it was just like you would be wearing the back of a jersey. So it would have like Palomalu and 43 and the Steelers. He was always Paul Mollahood. I'm looking at the Gruncowski one right now. Mayfield 6,

orange. Wow. Wence, Black Eagles bag? That's hard. Wow. So these are just like the cinches, right? Sitchbag makes another appearance. Matthews 52, Green Bay. Who's not wearing that to school? Oh, there's an NFL draft.

Pittsburgh one. Oh, that's so hard. Uh-huh. That'll be on sway over. Flackro 5 Ravens. These are so sick. I always wanted one. I never got one. Too old. Just because, yeah, I couldn't.

And also, I was like, I would just want the jersey. Like, I don't want to, I don't want my Palomalu cinch bag to just be in the corner of the basement of Anthony Milto's, you know, like, just give me the jersey. I want to wear it the whole time If you can't get the jersey This is pretty dope, you know

I know Cool idea Wow I'd rock that right now 11 ones I always baffled me How far apart The teenage numbers are for the Eagles

Why are those ones so far apart That's a good Their numbers are a little like they look great but sometimes yeah 11 definitely I'm like the spacing

you can't so weird yeah but then you know you got ones yeah you got like in my head

the Falcons Julio Jones are too close together that's something that's a good Jersey point that nobody really talks about like they don't have to be

I know you mean yeah just get a good solid even spacing Falcons huh even smaller

no I'm saying like that's them to this is the ones side by side oh yeah it's like it's not even 11

you can't even read it right um Jalen Hertz is one too like nobody's gonna tap him on the shoulder and be like

hey dude can you like just pull your jersey down so we get you know why don't get scrunched up yeah it's like

what the because it's a quarterback wrap jacket. He does it a different way though to like make it look a little cooler. So it makes his one look like a chode. And it's like, dude, are we ever going to address this? I know.

I know. This is interesting. We've had a few people luckily in the clubhouse who have chimed in on the teacher talk. So it's confirmed though that this does happen. The drafts do happen. The trades happen. the roster selection comes together could be a pretty funny sketch.

That's an interesting strategy right there. So he's talking about like building a class? What did you just send me? Oh, cinch bag? Oh, that's for later. Get away for that. Yeah, he's building a class,

but it wasn't for like the entire year every quarter to mix up the rosters for the enrichment period. What the hell is the enrichment period? Yeah, that's what I was kind of confused about. Does that mean, like, is that a new class that we don't know? Is that like some new era?

Yeah, he's Gen Z kids. We got the enrichment period so they can feel their mommy's and their daddies want them to have fun. My less. I don't know what the enrichment period is. Yeah, it does. It sounds like just like a fancy,

sounds like a fancy title slapped on an extra period. Yeah, an extra period for the teachers and not have to do anything. Yeah, we're enriching the kids. so they can roll in and watch the sandlot. Enrichment. What a term. God, if we didn't,

we wouldn't be able to have enrichment period. We haven't for like one week, destroy and they'd be like, we're never doing that again. Like, you mean just recess? 100%. Dude, I would blow,

my class would blow that apart. Just too bad. Dude, Chattel Farrell and Sam Patterson just run in a month. fuck. Not even a chance, bro.

Stealing stuff. Yeah. You broke a chair during enrichment. We're trying to watch a movie broke a chair. Rolled up Jordan Perryman in the wrestling mat.

Like, no. What it was is O'Farrow kicked out the leg of the nice girl's chair and she fell and got hurt.

Never forget. time we weren't allowed to play or we weren't allowed to um we were for a minute we were being able to we could pick what we wanted to do in PE for like the last two weeks or something like it was crazy it's just like our like little eighth grade thing but for the first day that we were like pick what you want to play we just made chad O'Farrell and randy wulfel sumo wrestled and everybody was in like even the girls were like and i'm Dude, we were just so, two, both of them at half court, bro.

God, dang, dude. Never got to do that again. Still scared. Still scared of that, dude. I'm, I feel bad for him, man. He would have been like a really good offensive lineman. Let's finish up here from Jack. The most dude thing ever.

Gentlemen, second time, long time. Let me know if this is the most dude thing ever. In high school, the boys and I would go to Hunter Davis's house, great hometown name, after Friday night games. And the only rule was no one is allowed to shower. Around week three, the likable sophomore got invited with us seniors and he slipped in the shower without anyone noticing. And we dog piled on him after he got out with our stink. My girlfriend says, this is, quote, the grossest thing she's ever heard. But I say it's just guys being dudes.

Thoughts. I mean, it's some dude dude stuff Hunter Davis Sounds like a MLB player Yeah, where are you from North Carolina Is he going to the Charlotte Motor Speedway later And put in some laps

I thought he was a baseball player for sure Is he in the Red Sox system Hunter Davis Can do a bunch of different things He's either quarterback in Alabama at high school Or he's in North Carolina and he chews a lot of tobacco. Hunter Davis.

Red hair? Sure. Boot cut jeans, dirty boots. A lot of tobacco. Maybe brown hair, red beard, you know,

somehow some guys have red beard all of a sudden. I'm like, big thick beard when he's like 17, you're like, what? How is that working? I'm like,

you already have, to shave that hard. Wow. What's that even like? Yeah, Hunter Davis. Dude stuff. Did I ever tell you about the fart bottle? No. It sits on the same page is this. Okay. All right. So, wow, I've never, I've never, never heard. Not that off the, not off the dome that I can think of. All right. So we had a pretty good setup at my mom's in high school. My mom's house is right by the high school. It was kind of like all the guys could kind of just come over and we'd just like play video games and stuff like that. I don't know how my mom was like letting it happen,

but it would always be like in the middle of the day in the front room. People would just stop by. But one time we had like six guys over there. And we play NTA all day. Out of trampoline in the back, we kind of just be chilling or whatever. And but we made this like bet thing where,

okay, two guys are, the whole time we're playing video games, we're all drinking Gatorade there's one empty bottle we're just ripping into this bottle and capping it like this is gross like this is fucking sick

this is disgusting but like six dudes in a room it's almost like every five minutes somebody's yeah ripping right into the bottle and I'm like this isn't working like there's no way like this is gonna smell like

so it's me and the current principle of Ron Colley High School like thugging it out and whoever loses has to smell has to take a with him I mean who loses the last one not to fart? Oh it's NTA you're playing NCA

I don't know if I said that we're playing NCAA I'm like Florida he's like Texas like this is the biggest game of our lives right because I was like I'm not controller Oh we're standing up playing we're not sitting down The stand up yeah yeah And like he's going to Like he knows like he's a quarterback like he knows I feel like playing quarterbacks in that game

I'm like they have an advantage they can like read defenses I'm just like picking plays and um dude so it goes down the wire I win ponage has to smell the far bottle and I'm like whatever it's like dude he takes a whiff has to go outside all in my mom's head I'm about to do that right now. The legend of the fart bottle, bro. Just in a cool blue Gatorade bottle. Dude. I literally could puke right now.

High stakes. Oh. High stakes. Just a combination of everybody too. Oh my god. That's horrible. You gotta think of the dudes we had in that room. dudes we had in that room too.

Oh, man. I know. I know. Didn't go to wrong college. Was Charlie Coliseg there? Such a crazy pole. I don't know, actually. But probably, yeah.

So they just talk about farting and the guys they went to high school with. What the fuck? Charlie Coliseg. Yeah. Sitting on the ottoman. Rockathon cut off on Syracuse shorts

Illinois shorts Everybody's got a cut off Oh you weren't allowed in bro Holy shit I think that tops Jax I think the fart bottle tops Jax

That might be the new thing If you had like a weird game You played in high school Guys being dudes game Fart bottle Not showering that's interesting man i kind of want a little bit more origin from jack though because it's like dude you remember not a high school football podcast but like after after games like how fucking

sweaty you were like it would be impossible to get your pads off and shit you had to like i mean you were like drenched oh yeah and stinking from the pads different type of sweat too from game to practice. For sure. And so I'm just thinking like I kind of want to know was it just like a challenge? It was just like a kind of a funny challenge

you guys wanted to do or like because I would just feel like shit. You know? Yeah. I couldn't. I got to shower immediately. Right. Get out.

After a game, he said? Yeah, after Friday night games. Friday night games the only rule was no one was allowed to shower. dude i don't know i wonder if they're good like their team was good because after games i was like i feel like we're about to go do something like with girls i don't want to smell or like maybe i'll see a girl somewhere like they're in the party lot yeah like i don't want to do right that this yeah like the i'm just thinking about like whoever's mom of the house like moms

wouldn't let that fly. That was like the whole thing for them. It was just like, leave your pads in the garage. Don't bring it in here. Oh, yeah. So you just got seven guys who just were in pads playing football at a game and not showering. The mom just like wasn't home or what's going on? I couldn't do it.
