WRFH/Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM - Posted Up Curious George | Boys Only #31

Episode Date: February 28, 2026

Nate and Storm chat with Joey Buff and Brendan Burnham about the CCA minor, being from Buffalo, New York, and the 700 calorie bite.

Nate, the last few episodes were entirely too serious. We had on Andre Reneer, Justin Peterson, and who was last week? Luke Waters. We talked about manhood. We've talked about, like, growth, virtue, the higher things. Building, cool stuff. That's not what this show is about. This is boys only, gosh, darn it.

What is it about Storm? Storm, it's about being goofy and silly, all right? Maxing and mugging. All right? That's what it's all about. And in that vein, this week's double feature guest episode. of Boys Only. We have a good one.

We have another double feature. I'm so excited for these. The last one was like episode like 12 or something. Louis Stune and Peyton Hughes. Yeah, but this week we have Brendan Burnham and Joey Buff. Oh, on the Boys Only podcast. How's it going, guys? I hate to disappoint you guys.

I know you wanted something goofy. Maxis. It's very serious, man. We are not. We are not funny. Please do not evangelize me on the podcast. And the words of Jesus And be a preacher man

Well thanks for coming on the show guys How's it? How are you doing? How are you doing? Who are you? Like where do people know you from on campus maybe? This is Brendan? You probably Well, just in case you can't recognize my voice. I don't know Joey and I sound Identical

Identical. Do we? I don't think we do. Not really. I think Joe and I kind of sound a little bit alike. I think we're all the same person. Yeah. We're not even... Guys, you have so much diversity in this room. Just for what... All right. All right. All right.

All right. How do they know you? Well, I'm on the shooting team. So... Which? Oh, yeah. Good question. So Hillsdale action shooting team.

So we're the ones running around, obstacle courses and such, doing Steel Challenge with the pistols. Wait, actually, obstacle courses? Yeah. So, I mean, there's normally stages. They can get pretty elaborate, almost like an obstacle course.

That's so tough. I didn't know you guys did that. Like you're fully running with a pistol. Yes. Some of them are a little bit more stationary than others. You've got to do some slight movements. But some of them, I mean, you might see some pretty far sprints. Like, you know, 15-yard sprints.

You're trying to get as fast as you can because the sport is scored based on time and accuracy. So, I mean, you could be as accurate as you want. But if you take all day, your score is terrible. Wow. So it's like you've got to really get to that next position to shoot. So you've got to be able to move quickly. Let's just introduce Joey. Then I want to touch back on that.

Why do we know you, Joey? Oh, gosh. Yodel, Joey Bob, every like three days. I've got my fair share of karma. I've got my fair share of karma. I play rugby. I'm in Delta. I used to do a lot more music.

The Brothers Delft? The Brothers Delt. What kind of music? I'm a music minor. I technically dropped short of one class, which is really unfortunate. it. But I played piano and guitar and then I was in the choir for a while too. Do you do theta or no? No theta. No, I considered it, but then I forgot. Thank goodness. We're trying to get our

theta numbers down. We've had so many theta guys. We're going to do the whole fraternity at like some point. Have everyone on. So this is this is good news. Yeah. Who is the coach for, we'll get back into that, but who's the coach for your team? So we got Adam Berlew as the coach. Okay. And then Doc Sweeney. He used to be an accounting. Docs. Holy tough. Yeah. You know, his name is Michael, but he goes by Doc.

He's not a doctor. Call me Doc Sweet. No, no, no. He's got a PhD. He taught accounting forever. I think he was the chair of the department or something. Yeah, no, he's he's low-kenuantly pretty good. I knew this was going to have. No, he's accounting maxing hard.

Just money mug? Money-mog. Money-mog. Guys. This is, this intervaluate which in Brin is going to be bad. It's diabolic. We're ad lib marging.

Yeah. It's all over. So he's the assistant coach. Then we got Zach Steiger, who's an alumni. He's kind of like a range manager out there right now. Have you guys ever trained with Andre Renier? Just wondering. He's so awesome.

He's the precision coach. We had him on the show. No, I don't think so, actually. He's dope. How'd you get into action shooting? Crazy little story. So I did shooting kind of growing up a little bit as a kid. you know, family had guns.

You're in New Mexico. It was a cool place. And then my sister, my older sister, went to Thomas Aquinas College in California. And her roommate, Lucy Vitor at the time, she's now married. They were roommates together. And Lucy had a younger brother here named Sandy. And I was like, oh, snap it. He's at Hillsdale.

I got to meet this guy. He sounds cool. Finally met him at the end of my freshman year. He told me to try out for the team. And I tried out and was a walk on there. Fortunately, I tried out when I did because the team has gotten a lot better. And tryouts are now pretty tough. And I would not, I would not get on the team given my previous skill.

Do we do recruiting for, like, how, because the shooting teams are kind of unique because they're pretty new. Like all of them are pretty new, right? Like, when did action shooting start? I think action shooting became. Last week. Yeah, last week. No, I think we had our first practice today, actually. Yeah.

Yeah. I think it was been around since like 12 or 13 years ago It was like when it was an idea It was a club for a while And I think it became varsity I don't know Five to eight years ago I think I mean that's pretty new given like the rest of the sports teams

Definitely definitely I think precision got there Last semester so Do you all use the new Halter Center? We've used it once for training camp We had Joey Sauerland up there He's a really good USBSA shooter Yeah where do you guys train because like it's a pretty, I don't want to use the word niche, but like it's kind of very specific, right? Like it's course by course. So like what's your training kind of look like? Yeah. So we have a halter range out there. It's, I don't know, like five, six miles away. Six or seven miles. I don't know. PM episode all over again. Six or seven.

The same episode was a five minutes. It took it like five minutes to get into it. All right. It was terrible. All right. No more six, seven unless you actually. actually mean the numbers. Can I not number max on podcast? Please, dear God. All right, we're switching back to Joey. Yeah, yeah. Joey, you were on whip last semester, right?

That is correct. What did you work? I worked with Congressman Jim Jordan. Wait, that's sick. Yeah, well, like, what'd you do? Like, tell me, tell me about whip. I don't know we've had a whip, a former whip guy. We've had people who are going to be on whip.

Future whipped people? Future whipped. I've been whipped. You are now, you have been whipped. You have been whipped. So what was it like being whipped? It was good. It was really good. It was actually so much fun. I highly recommend it for anybody. So. Really? Even though it's kind of like a small, like my hesitation was always, it's kind of like a small group of people. I feel like I like to be a main campus. But you really enjoyed the getaway?

Oh yeah, dude. It was so nice. Just like getting out of the Hillsdale bubble. And it was actually really cool because even though, like I did not have very many friends that were going on whip of the people that were actually in my whip class. But we ended up all becoming pretty close. And people that I'd never expected to actually be friends with, we ended up being friends. That's great. And we're still hanging out all the time on campus. So it was honestly like one of the best experiences I've had at Hillsdale. That's goaded. What did you do for the congressman?

I answered a lot of phones. Yeah, there was some pretty crazy. Okay. The people that call Congresspeople 90% of the time have very strong. very strong opinions. Like what? Like lay out political opinion. Yeah.

I just got to the internet. Like what's the craziest thing that someone has called you about with this con. Where does he represent Michigan? Ohio. Okay. Yeah, he's Ohio. He's also the chairman of the judiciary committee

on the House side. Wow. But yeah, it was cool. It was really nice because I want to go into law. And so there's a lot of attorneys and stuff that I was talking to. It was awesome. That's good.

The politics people are so cool, man Yeah, I want to know what some of the crazy things people said. I can't, listen, I have an answer. You might need to cut it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Boys only after dark. We'll talk about that after the show, a little after dark. The specificity on these elaborate claims,

you need to do this right now. Is it like petitions? Like, you don't do these specifics, but is it like people being like, please affect legislation this way? Or is it like, I hate you? A lot of them. A lot of both. Definitely a lot of both.

Yeah. I was told that I need to grow a backbone a lot. Like, the person you're working for is evil and you need to stand up to him. Joey in the first part of WIP is like, I'm sorry. I'm trying about it. I'm sorry. Shut up. I do not care.

I mean for a month. Because we're not allowed to like hang up on people. We have to like really take in their concerns. Actually report it and like write it down and make sure it gets passed along to the congressman. And so like someone will just be like screaming at me across the phone. And I'm like, I hear you. Yep, I hear you. John it all down.

I could never do that, man. I would just start firing back. Is it kind of like the call center at all where you have people calling in all the time? You're like, please remove me from the imprimus. Constantly. Stop asking me for money. Yeah, exactly. I don't think so.

We don't really get the office we have in D.C. And the campaign office are completely separate. And so we don't get any like campaign calls. That's the only thing where people would actually be reached out to pretty consistently about, like, I don't know, campaign stuff. Yeah. We don't get any campaign goals on this campaign. Just hate mail. Hail threats.

What's the percent of your calls that were just hate mail? Like 60 to 70 percent? All right. Can we dial? Yeah, actually, it's probably accurate. I run 60 to 70 percent. Wow, more than half? Yeah, yeah.

Whoa. Just hate you. Screw you. Dude, let's go. It's either that are people who are just like actually kind of lost it, which is unfortunate. Because a lot of people that call are like, they think they have problems that aren't actually real problems in their lives. And then they're like, you can't tell them that. I can't tell them that.

And they're like, who can solve this? My congressman. And then I'm hearing about this guy and how he got a divorce. And he's called you have his divorce. And I'm like, I'm sorry. Congressman Jim Jordan can't help. you with that. I'm not a licensed marriage

therapy. I was talking to him about it. He'd be like sorry. I'll talk to him about outlaw divorce. What are I going to do? Yeah, I talked to. I talked to for like 15 minutes.

I was trying to be nice. But I'm like, there's not really much I can do to help. Just venting at this political intern. A lot. Yeah.

Dude, I'm going to call my congressman after this. It's awesome. They can't get off the phone. It's like a free therapy session, dog. Is it only calls... Hold on.

Can I call any congressman or is it only mine? You can call any congressman. Usually, if you're not within their district, they'll put you right to voicemail. But you can also just say you're a part of the district and then go through anyways. That was a lot of the calls that we got. I can't imagine doing that. Think of it this way. It's like if you feel that inspired or like passionate about something, you're going to

going to be like probably delivering some sort of hate mail you know what I'm saying yeah just vote I mean like you don't need to actively be hating on someone mid Congress session dude specifically me you don't need to be hating on yeah I haven't done anything I haven't poor interns who don't yeah it's your fault Joey buff the amount of times I said listen I'm just an intern I can't speak up behalf of the congressman or not really that would make me more upset yeah like because are the or are they mostly like older folks or is it like Just a good spread. It's a lot of older folks.

But it's also like a lot of other really active political commentators who happen to be like younger. Yeah. All right. So it's like a nice mix of both. So that was Joey's whip experience, being a therapy. Joey being whipped from. Go on. Go on whip if you want.

Okay. That was just one. No, I know. I'm messing. Was it like a nine to five essentially? Yeah, it was a nine to five. Well, mine was more like an 830 to five. But some people were had that early half hour, dude, it didn't kill her.

It did. It sucks. Yeah. I'm serious, yeah, serious. No, but other people had like seven to seven, like just depends on where you're working. Like some of the White House kids were working really, really hard. Woof. But it was that, and then we had classes afterwards as well.

So like on Mondays, for instance, we had our Create Books three class, and that would be three hours. So we do the 9 to 5, 830 to 5 in my case, which is very important. The extra 30 minutes really matter. And like a 6 to 9 class? Yeah. Holy crap. day, but it was like, I actually like prefer the three hour classes now as opposed to like having to go to class three different times a week. One and done. Yeah, exactly. Did you take anything with Dr. Mian? No, he was actually, um, not really working a lot this semester. We've heard incredible reviews. Yeah. But do they keep English profs and like, or is it just politics prof who like transitioned to teach that other class? Oh yeah. Well, there's politics. There's also English. There's all sorts of professors that are over. there actually. That's crazy, dude.

They're dialed in for just that. Like, what if, like, nobody's going on that semester that wants to take grade books three? They also teach, like, the grad school students. Oh, that's what. That makes sense. They're also teaching that. Did you have a lot of overlap with those

people or not much? They were actually the ones calling. I'm 26, and I hate you. This is a Wendy's. This is a Wendy's. So, there was a lot overlap just in terms of like I would have a class in the same room and so you'd see them around a lot

but it was mainly like there were lots of events that Hillsdale and DC would throw which was honestly lots of fun and you'd like get to meet all the Hillsdale people and some of these people are doing like the graduate school programs that are like really far along in their career and so I talked to like just attorneys who were taking some of the like the Hillsdale graduate level classes and it was like it was actually pretty neat so that's something that's so cool. about grad school is it like it really like college as a microcosmos sort of does this but grad school specifically brings together so many people from like completely random backgrounds like i had a class here told by dr kiper who about half it was grad school and like one of the people in there was like

45 like she had kids older than dr kiper's kids and i was like older than dr kiper's kids she was no no no she's like 80 it was like i don't know it was like i don't know just so cool. Yeah. That's awesome. Old people, dude, in class with me. Yeah. Oh, not all the old people.

Get a little donor class moving. Have you guys had hell of prospies in your classes the last week? No. No, I had a couple. We had like four. They were squadroned up at this set of four desks and econ. Well, hold on, which prof was that? Dr. Margaretzik.

I think they might send, because like, from what I've heard from certain professors, is they pick and choose where they send, like, prosopies and donors. Like I had one prop who was like, they do not send me. I've told them, don't. Can you say who that was? No. Okay. I will not say that. I know exactly you're talking about though. I work at admissions. And so yeah, there are certain classes that are going to get picked a lot, which is partly due to, like, partly due to just like how well it goes along with like the schedule of the student who's visiting. Why do they send these kids to STEM classes? I'll never understand why they send proffies to like chemistry. But like I've talked about. But like I've talked about

these prosopies that are like, I'm going to, I'm like, what do you want to study? I don't know. I don't know. Sent them over to principles of chemistry. Well, you might want to give them like a smattering. Is that kind of what admissions is thinking? Yeah, we are trying to actually like emphasize STEM in the liberal arts more. Sometimes it's just the only thing that works with their schedule. Yeah.

And other times, usually we try to pair it with the student's interest. So like usually they might have thrown like chemistry potential major or something on their application. And then that's why we'll throw them to give them. the chemistry. It also kind of makes sense. You wouldn't throw a prospy and some, I don't know, business course. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah. Going deep into financials or something. This just majors are gross.

Yeah, no. That was so uncalled for. You're right. My bad. Crazy straight. You're right. My bad. My bad. I love the economics people. They're a good third pillar. Yeah. It's like liberal arts, science, money people. Money people. We just had Dr. Steele on the show on my other podcast off the trails. He was here just now.

and like old economics guy, you know, super smart in the money world. And then he comes on our show, talks about how he's like running marathons. And like running like hundreds of miles. Dude, you're like Eva. Like dog, are we so darned. You're a hundred and twelve. Yeah, but these people are crazy. I can't remember our exact relationship with Dr. Steele for the team.

But I guess he's like our faculty, I don't know, shooting guy. Yeah. So he wears his shotgun hat to class a lot. Yeah, yeah. But I remember, I think we've given. him like merch on the team before for some reason like we we give merch just specific people you know obviously the teammates the coaches um dr arn ails who bought the range and i think dr steel i don't know exactly why but legend of the game so i'm gonna pivot no pivot no pivot you two

brennan and joey have you guys been friends since freshman year since yel's freshman year uh basically yeah where did you guys me how did you guys me what's the story we're not currently friends. We're more just like... Business partners? Acquaintances, I'd say, yeah. Well, how would you put it, Joey? Our friendship? Or, like, that's been our friends.

How did you guys like me? Because you're both Simpson, right? Yeah, we met at Simpson freshman year, and we hung out a couple times, but, like, it wasn't, like, a lot. And then we ended up suiting together, just kind of by chance. Oh, by, really? Yeah. It wasn't really by chance We knew each other

Like somewhat well enough To be like, okay, let's kind of make this happen But also We were definitely not close By the time we rolled up You guys like seemed like a dynamic Yeah, it was like you guys and Owen Johnson And like stare it

We're like little posse Well it was the funny thing about that whole sweet situation So we had four guys It was me and Hinson Pete at first And then Joey Buff wanted to join up And then we were like The Dean's told us Oh we got to throw you in with this fourth

guy. His name is Silas Groton. And we were thinking, the goat. He's the goat. He's the goat. But at the time, we were like, oh, dude, I don't want to be paired with this guy. He's like, he's going to be a total weirdo. Some rando. Some total weirdo random dude. End up being like probably one of the chillest people on the entire player.

He just played league the whole time. Heck yeah. And he played league. You know, he's in the suite. He's an absolute chiller. He goes on video games. He's like, why am I the only one carrying this team, you know? he can hear him screaming

he was such a chill like even keel guy but once like he started playing League of Legends you could hear him from his room screaming the entire time that was my original experience of Owen Johnson I was next door to stuff

and he was over there and I'd be like hey man he's gonna meet you I'm Owen walking to the room I could hear Owen I was on Owen's hall so I would hear him down the hallway screaming at War Thunder the things in that League of Legends will

doodle a man. It's actually crazy. He turns primal. I still play video games with Silas every now and then. He's a cool guy. Yeah, he's great. That's good. You play Lee? No, no. I want to be happy. I don't want to play Lee. He's tried to give me to play league multiple times. Do not play league, man. I will never play

do not play league. So my friends play and they're like, yeah, you got to, you got protect your piece. It's my favorite game. Never play. That's what I've ever want to hire. Right. Right. What do you play with Silas? Yeah, we played a lethal company for a bit Oh, that's a great game Such a good game

Yeah, it's a great one Obviously we did Minecraft for a bit I'm now on to Ark Raiders I don't if you guys heard about it I have to have played though Arc survival or? No, so it's an ARC Oh okay

Like, you know electricity thing Okay You know like I don't know Brendan is really really into Arc Raiders I really like Arc Raiders Silas doesn't play that yet though I've been trying to convince him

but he doesn't want to spend 40 bucks on this game That's probably one of the best games I've ever played Wow So I don't know Is that like a big part of like your childhood where you like a real, like of a gamer guy or not really? I don't know.

I kind of dabbled. A little this little. Little this little that. Smattering. I'm trying to work. Work that word in more. Smattering. Mark Ayers and I played a bunch of hell divers last year.

Hell divers is fantastic. Such a good time. So good. Are the automaton's like encroaching further on the... Yeah, they're going crazy. Oh, man. So I haven't really been playing it much, but my brother has. He's been leaving me on Arc Raiders to play hell divers more regularly. And I'm like, that's not cool.

I don't appreciate that. So hell divers has got bad taste in my mouth now. But it's so fun, dude. It does look pretty cool, actually. I'm not going to lie. All right, we'll open the conversation back up to include you non-g gamers. I mean, I play a little bit of Helldive. I don't play that much.

He said, I play some Wii Sports. Ah, dude, we sports is goat in road. I do not play video games very much. I did sometimes play Lethal Company with Brendan and Silas. Oh, yeah. But after sophomore year, like first semester of sophomore year, I was so tired and I was so done that I just sat in my room during Christmas break and played Baldur's Gate 3. Oh, that game slaps. For three weeks.

It was three weeks of waking up, making myself food, playing Baldur's Gate for eight hours a day and going to sleep. Sometimes hitting the gym as well. Holy livestock. I'll never forget freshman year, freshman fall. when I was here, the game came out. And I locked my door for like a whole weekend. It's so addicting. It's so good.

Did Jeff appreciate that? My freshman roommate Jeffrey. Did not appreciate that. No, he did not appreciate that. I locked her out of the room when I played Baldur's Gate. Get off. Until my eyes oozed out of my skull. Yeah.

No, great game. Great game. It was also just like I needed a brain break. And so it was like the perfect like, I just need to like do nothing and play Baldur's Kate for. Yeah. I guess so much flack for that because people are like, oh man, you're seeing your.

you're busy, you're doing other stuff, why are you trying to play video games with your busy schedule? It's awesome. Dude, I got to have a mental reset. What are you talking about? I don't know if I would call it a mental reset, Brendan. Oh, dude, come on. Dude, I'll be doing homework sitting across from Brendan, and he'll just be like, stressing out.

It's like, I just want to be playing Arc Raiders right now. I just want to be playing Arc Raiders right now. Guess what happened? Guess what happened? I finished my test, a little assignment, whatever thing. I went home, played Arc Raiders. came back and studied, killed it. Yeah.

That's so well on the exam. You got to have reset. Brendan, how much would you say that Arc Raiders has taken over your life? Taken over my life, zero. That's a lie. That is a lie. I will clarify.

Had an impact on my life. Yeah. Make a case. Yeah. Have you? Out of curiosity, have you ever dreamt about Arc Raiders before? Oh my gosh.

Okay, okay. Have you ever dreamt about food before? Oh, okay. You can't live without food. food before. You can't live with you. Wait a minute. Wait, hold on.

That's awesome. This guy can't live without food. Yeah, yeah, get a little of this guy. Let's get a lot. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Straw man. accent.

All right. I want to know, Joey, favorite three party members in Balders Gate. Who are your favorite three? I, it's been too long. I looky don't remember. I remember the one cleric lady

with the black hair. Shadowheart? Yeah. she was fun I liked my character because he was really funny he was a gnome bard yeah

and his name was just the seducer yeah which was really funny that's awesome and oh I like dude it's been too long honestly I'd have to like look it up

and get back to you yeah I feel like you'd be a gale guy Yale the wizard oh yeah he was a really like I did like him yeah he was He was goaded. Heck yeah. You guys were in the Collegian recently.

Like, kind of talk about that. Oh, yeah. So, uh, did a, they wrote a piece on me for doing the 16 CCA's. Oh, yeah,

because you, you went for the CCA minor. Yeah. The CCA minor. Uh, doesn't exist. Yeah, yes, it does.

What do you have? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was told the same thing by my R.A. Yeah. It's a real thing.

Yeah. And you, done it. Yeah. Finally completed. Wait, actually, how many CCAs have you taken? 15. I'm doing my 16th one on Sunday. Are you so for real? Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's on every single one. Oh my gosh. Wait, hold on. Can we pass me the paper?

The paper right here. Just paper crumbling noise. Paper noises in the background. Be careful. Meet the scene on track to complete. 16 CCAs. Unbelievable. So what's that been like? What's like the highs and lows of the CCA journey? Oh, man. I mean, some of them are pretty. The journey. The journey. Yeah. Well, they stay track. So, I mean, it's kind of, it's been fun.

Some of them have not been amazing, and that's just been unfortunate, and you've got to sit through a lot of ones that you're not really excited about. But you've got to get the CCA minor, so that keeps you going. Yeah, what do you think of like the, like, what's the teleological end of a seat? Because so many people are like, I'm getting this minor for this, or teleological means like the end of something. I know what you meant. No, you know. I look over at Joey, I'm like, what does that mean?

And then Nate just calls me out. But like, you know, people like, oh, I get, I want the bio major so I can be a doctor. Why? Like, the CCM minor, like, why do it? I loki did it for the meme. I'm not even going to lie to you. Because, hold on, they told me that there was a CCA minor in my freshman year. I started doing all the CCAs.

And then they're like, oh, that's not a real thing. Like, no way. Well, I'm going to do it anyways. Oh, that's funny. That's so good. See, what I was expecting is like, it makes you so well-rounded. It does help. You get to learn a lot of random stuff, which is cool.

And then it turned out I need all of them for my accounting major. Ooh, business majors. Wait, you need all of them? Well, you don't need them normally, but I came in with zero credits, and I need to graduate with 150. So the extra two credits each semester is great. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Now, that adds up. 16 free credits, basically. What's, I was going to say, what's the last one that you have to do? 1776. for A-250. What a great finale. That's a great way to end it. What's it like looking like it's going to be about

about the year 1776? They don't do any promoting of it? I don't, listen. Well, it makes sense because this is the 250th. Oh, yeah. It's probably like a big Fourth of July. At a certain point, I don't really read, like I don't even read the names of the CCAs anymore.

I found out that 1776, by reading the paper that they wrote about me and I was like, oh, cool. I didn't know that. By reading the article about you? Yeah, so I don't even, I don't even, I don't even look at the titles. I just go and do them because you've got to do them now. But I'll have exactly 150 credits when I graduate,

largely due to these guys. That's awesome. But Joey Buff, go ahead and read towards the bottom there. Joey Buff made some quotes in there. Yeah, quote that, quote that. Senior Joey Buff said he's been good friends with Burnham since their freshman year.

That's not true. He's been at least adequately okay with Brennan. He's been equates it since sophomore year. Our freshman year, we had a couple Taco Bell runs, Buffs up. He would always challenge himself to, see how many bites you get a burrito. And eating a whole burrito in two bites is very

impressive. Seriously? Dude, that's incredible. Yeah, we were all, it's like, it's inhuman. It's actually like kind of insane to witness. What does that have to do with the CCAs? That's my question. It goes on. It goes on.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's got to go. It's going to keep reading. Don't stop. No one can stop him. Brennan's like the penguin. Sometimes he chooses to do things that no one understands, but he doesn't anyway. He perseveres and he finishes when he starts.

What does this have to do with anything? That's so funny. I was on the phone with my buddy from California, and I showed him this article, and he was reading, he's like, man, this is the funniest article I've ever seen. He's like, oh, he's got a cool hat. That's such a funny thing to bring up. And then he reads, he's like, Joey Buff said this. He's like, he's got great perseverance.

He's piqued his interest. Oh, give me an example. He gives a Taco Bell. He's like, what are we doing here? A burrito two bites is nuts. That is like a beefy, five, like a full burrito? No, I just like the bean burritos. Lucky for you guys.

We actually brought some DACA bell so you guys can see it. Yeah. There you go. Breaking the Lenton Brumm for a little mean marito action. Two-biter. Crazy thing is my brother has done it in one bite. That's unbelievable. It's not human.

It's crazy. That's a snake. And he's got, and he's got video evidence. I didn't record it, unfortunately. He's got receipts. He's got receipts. You cannot burrito, Max.

No, we're brittal maugging. I broke up Barito mocked by his brother Where were you When Brendan Burnham was burrito Mocked By the California frat leader What is this?

Oh my gosh Where did your brother go to college? Did he go to college? Oh no he was doing his associate Clearly Dang out to say USC frat leader But I couldn't

He was doing his associates to get engineering for a little bit. And then, what's this laugh? Are you still on the antsy brat leader? I'm still having to answer you a burrito-a-bogging. I mean, because he had it in one bite. He just achieved an entire burrito. That's so nonsensical. It's like a 700-cali bite.

I honestly wish that I had asked him to send me the video because I could show you guys right now. It's incredible. It's like, wow, yeah. That's the whole burrito. So, Brendan, what do you want to do with your life?

That's a good question. With all that perseverance, where's it taking you? See, I'm going to make a lot of money and I'm going to eat a lot of Taco Bill. Yeah. But how many bites?

One. I'm going to work up to one. But we know at least two. At most two bites. Oh, man. So I got a job at General Motors. Real out of, like, yeah.

Placement bad. Well, You can't promote them, but yeah. You can say that you got a job there. You work there, yeah. Okay, yeah. So I'm going to be working for them. It's a rotational finance position in Warren, Michigan, like northeast of Detroit.

So I'm being doing that for a few years. Hopefully get my CPA within a couple years. Awesome. From there, it's kind of hard to tell. Yeah. I'll have some option. Makes you feel better. We have no idea.

Yeah, I'm just lost. Hopefully this takes off, if not homeless. This is our last chance. Under the bridge on the street. Feel that. Joey, what do you want to do with your life? Well, after graduation, which is very soon. Kind of nuts.

Two more weeks. Two more weeks. I don't think it's that soon. Yeah, great job, mate. Good math. Oh, sorry, I'm not an accounting major. I don't know anything. So, okay, so I'm going to go back to D.C. probably.

Do something in the realm of politics, at least for a couple years, and then end up going to law school. That's my idea. Yeah, dude. Do you have an idea of where you're going to go to law school or just kind of winging it for now? I'm kind of winging it. George Mason has a really good evening class program. So you can keep working on the hill and then take your evening classes. Night school, dude.

Night school. Yeah. But also, like, I think you Chicago is like the ideal, honestly. Yeah. Are you from the Midwest? No, I'm from New York. Oh, yeah. Wait, where?

Upstate New York. Buffalo. No. It's not Buffalo. Buffalo, New York. You're here first, ladies. Joey Buff, Buffalo, he was. The other day, I was eating wings. No, no, no, he's got a point.

He relates. Let him cook. Let him cook. It relates. It relates, I promise. I was eating wings, and they were not buffalo wings. And Praden doesn't like buffalo sauce for some reason, even though it's gas. Buffalo sauce is awesome.

No, it's not that. good. What? It just tastes like vinegar. Thank you so much. No, I'm with you Joey. It eats gas. I don't love that much. Nate, you're wrong. Brendan, you're wrong. Store, you're right. Yep. Dang. Confirmation bias. I mean, I have decided the decider. He's from Buffalo. He knows. You know what's from Buffalo? So I was eating the wings and Brendan just goes, oh, buffalo sauce. Probably because you're from Buffalo. And I'm like, Brent it. Neither of those things are true.

It's orange buffalo And I've never lifted Buffalo Before This is not strictly accurate 100% wrong day Could not be more wrong Bro on to nothing Let him cook here

I'm not from Buffalo You got to be glad he let Joey cook there He did bring it back I'm from Albany-ish area Okay So like just up there I'm from downstate So you're all the same to me

Buffalo, Rochester, you live right there. Oh, wait. This is a real question. Do you consider Buffalo to be Western New York or upstate New York? I mean, if you're going to subdivide from just upstate and downstate, then yes. If you're just doing the two division of downstate and upstate, then it's upstate. But if you're going to be like, there's also like the Canadian kind of New York, like way up there. No one actually considers that, though.

I feel like, I don't know. Is New York? Border Canada? A lot of. Are you serious? I don't know northeast of geography. Niagara Falls, bro. New York does border Canada.

There's like a big old late between you and them. There is, but also there's also not. Okay. Owen and I actually went to Niagara Falls. During the blackout. Yeah. I remember this story. You guys got blackout and then went to Niagara Falls.

He's got blackout. Drove like, I don't know, 14 hours in I. To get Buffalo? We drove through Buffalo. Do you get Buffalo wings? Where I live. Joey's hometown. To visit Joey on the way.

Joy wasn't there. He was actually back at Hillsdale. I don't know. We totally missed him there. That was not the right to move. I just thought he would be over there. Stop by his house. You know me. I'm from Buffalo, so if you go to someone's house, they are going to be there.

That is the assumption. Is that not how that one is you go to Jones? I've watched Arthur and Curious George. I mean, come on. Oh, my God. They're always at there. Does no one do anything? Great points we bring up.

What are everyone's jobs in Curious George? I know there's the one Fisher. guy. Probably fishes or something. Yeah, yeah. What does the man with the yellow hat do? What does he do? He's a jungle explorer. No, but like, how does... Is he not? No, hold on. No, he just went on a safari once. He's an expeditionist. He has a penthouse, and then he goes

back to the country. Oh, he owns that house. Yeah. What does he do for work? Archaeologist, maybe? Money. No, that's the one other lady. Remember, there's the one lady who works at the museum? Professor Wiseman. Oh, no. Bro knows all of... Curious George lore, bro. The ball knowledge of Bressor Wise.

I can't name three Baldestate characters, but Brendan's out here with the names and professions of every Curious George character. Called by their government name. Their full government names. Full name job for Benser Wise. Duh. You know, duh.

All right, I'm going to ask everyone in this room, when's the last time you watched Curious George? Be honest with me. Oh, it's been about a decade. Okay. I have no idea. That's too long. A decade is too long.

probably when I was like 12. How long for you, Joe? Over Christmas break. Boom, boom. My brother in arms. I watched it in December. Well, I was babysitting my nephew. So that's his excuse.

You just post up with the curious. No, he wasn't allowed to watch it. That was for me. Oh, okay. When you're curious. I would have posted up, but my niece was there watching it. So, posted out.

Bro is curious George maxing us right now. I'm post-mocking, you boys. posted up curious George, dude, everything hurts we needed this episode

for the description oh my god dude it's so hot here are you searching for an episode right now no no no I've already

try they don't they don't post full episodes on YouTube they just show clips and I'm like wait I remember this They skipped that scene. Oh my gosh, dog.

Ball knowledge beyond belief. Wait, no, no, no, no. Wait, no, no, wait. You're wrong. They do have full episodes. Really? Yeah, they do. Probably some.

They have, like, a live stream you can go and they'll have like a full... No, no, no, I've watched it. I've watched it. They don't... They skip important scenes. No, that... It's like a hodgepodge of random... No, no, it wasn't.

What's like the best plot line of... Because obviously, you know, it's a multifaceted thing. It's like a weaving. Like, there's multiple... Like, what's the golden thread for, in your opinion of the... George narrative. You know? Curious George?

He searches. He searches? Does he find? Almost always. He find bugs. Guys. Yeah, let's talk about something. I'm really surprised we stuck on Curious George this long.

It's been so great. Let's go around the room and everyone say their favorite curious George character. Brendan, you go first. Probably have to be Mr. Rankin. That's unbelievable. Who is that? The farmer, dude. You guys.

literally do not have enough ball knowledge. Joe, oh, dude, I thought there was only two characters in the show. Oh, no. There's curious and there's George. It was curious George.

I'm named with the little hat. It's the best. In my eyes, yeah. Basic answer. I mean, I don't remember anyone else. I mean,

Wiseman, does you know who that was before this podcast? No. The best character? The Italian chef guy. What's his name? What's his name?

What's his name? Luigi. No, no, it's a Piscetti. Piscetti. Boy, this is a, unlocking something for me. I remember that guy. Why do you have so much

curious George Wallace? Why do you not have enough? Because I'm not from Buffalo. Oh, you got me! Not one person in Buffalo. Yeah, Joey Buff. For God. Joey Buffalo. That's what they call me.

Buffalo mocking. That's what they call me. Guys. So with a last name like Buff, do you feel the need to go? into the gym all the time. It's true. It is true. It's a lot of pressure. You have to be built or else. Yeah, dude. Because imagine like, if, imagine you say, my last name's buff and someone looks you up and down with their eyes.

And they're like, really? Like, I chose it. That would be it for me. Like, yeah, I'd be done. Has that happened or is this just like a fear? Uh, someone said it as a joke once. Oh, no. It's not funny. But that, yeah, yeah. No, ever since I've known you, you've, you've looked good, dude. Thanks, bro. You look great, Ethan. Joey Fray mugs

confirmed. Damn it. Jim Maxing. Jelly buffering storm drugs on the boys' only podcast. This is the worst. We needed an episode like this.

It's been so long. Do you have a good brain rot nothing burger? Oh, come on. Wow. We just had you guys on for the entertainment. It's a lot. I mean, that's half the shows.

Have it's serious, but half of it's like, just sit down and have a good laugh. I mean. Give us a serious topic. Why should we do anything? Isn't fate not determined for us? Bobby Lindo asks. Why are you for the fellow? Ask Brendan about that one Fettywap song.

He'll know what I mean. Oh, 1738, yeah. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, I think it's low-key called Sampiwap. 6, 7, 9. I can't play it because... I can't.

No, no, no, you cannot. Can I, like, sing it? No. Oh, man. He can sing the first line. No, he needs to sing it. Well, basically, I'll give you the gist of it. Brent didn't sing it.

I can't sing it. You can sing the first line. You can sing the first line. Like a teeny bit of it. It'll be mine again. Well, that's again. That's not 6-7-9. No, it's not.

That's again. I'm like, hey, what's a... I'm like, hey, what's a hello. Isn't that trap queen? That's trap queen? I don't know. No. Bobby didn't specify

That note I'm like hey what's up Well that's trap queen 6-7-9 is um Oh my gosh It's um Oh you're right No no no no

Bobby's talking about trap queen When they would play trap queen In the Simpson lobby Without fail Every single time Like I could be in the middle Of playing black ob zombies With the boys

Or with Charlie McAdam And then I'd have to You know I'd lose Because you know He was really good Well he was good But also

They would play this song And I'd get up in the music usually start dancing every single it's actually a tick it's his winner soldier he's like yeah Bobby mentioned that the other day to me and I was like oh I totally remember that

and he was so happy because he's like dude everyone is no one's believe me no one remembers that this happened I was like oh that totally happened so now it's on air everyone knows it happened Bobby is right it's the first time that's ever that Bobby has remembered something correctly yeah yeah

Speaking of anything's right, and especially now that we're late in the episode, if Patrick Hamilton has listened this far into this specific episode, I do owe him an apology. He told him I would on air. He texted me after the only. He's like, hey, man, where's my apology? I'm publicly apologizing to Patrick Hamilton for not believing his rodeo story. If he doesn't have Patrick Hamilton's rodeo story, it's crazy, go ask him. It's absolutely insane.

I don't know what it is, but I don't believe in it. It's unbelievable. And I didn't believe in it until he showed me pictures, which he had the whole time. I also, I've seen proof. It's real. And it's real. and Patrick, I'm sorry for slandering your name and dragging you through the mud. It's actually crazier than anyone told me, like, because I only heard it through secondary sources.

Can I get some context, please? Yeah, you got to get like a little bit of Tillsill. He went to the Hillsdale Fair two years ago, and they had this like rodeo thing going on, but it was like kind of this like fight ring. And he was like, and crazier and crazier things kept happening. Like people of like various ethnicities throwing people of other ethnicities around. Like, some of the stuff we cannot say on air, but it was just crazy. crazy. Like people dressed up in the most outlandish costumes. Cops came in at one point and just beat the tar out of some dude. Like, like...

Not real cops, I assume. I don't know. I have no idea. They looked like fake cops. I hope they were fake cops. I hope it was just a play. But he was... The way he told me the story, I was like, this is not happen. And he kept adding to it too. But then he showed me receipts and I sat with him and he showed me like videos. And I was saddened and horrified. And now here I am rescinding a statement I previously made on this show. in which I publicly called him all right. Well, accountability is important. That's actually the first time we back down from anything. Yeah, ever here on this show. We triple down on the show. No, you're wrong. That's a lot of growth.

I'm very proud of you, story. I appreciate that. That was really a difficult thing. Can we all get a round of applause for still no quick? Dude, you're like humility. You're like humility. No, okay. Dude, you're like humility maxing.

Oh, God. Accountability maxing. I'm accountabilitying over here. Yeah. All right. All right, well, it's called a day, I guess. Yeah, all right. Well, this was fun.

Any parting words? Thanks for coming on the show, guys. Any parting words? Nah. Don't do drugs. 17. Yeah, don't do drugs. I'm not from Buffalo.

Dude. All right, that's Joey Buff's part of words is I'm not from Buffalo. And then Brendan's your last will and testament. I'm pretty sure Joey Buff is from Buffalo. And that's the episode, people. Thank you so much for tuning in. Sir, I didn't put the questionnaire out. I forgot.

Okay, what's up? Anyway, we'll see you next time. Here, on Boys Only.
