Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the only pod that is not chopped inside
the bus. You have myself, Jack Cooper to my left, Garrett, Mitch, JP, Jared,
and Chopped Zilla himself. Matt Malone, our new official producer,
rats on getting the job. We were discussing this earlier
(00:22):
in the shop. Our producer Matt is eerily similar to
a local internet celebrity, Steiny of the Milk Boys. What
local local internet celebrity.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I don't know du worldwide internation, but yeah, we's got
some things to discuss today.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
We might go over Jim stereotypes.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
We are gonna go over to the appropriate length for
men shorts and why there should be a universal length
that is not sold in stores. We'll get to that,
and then maybe we're gonna rank our top three most
chop humans that we can think of.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
But we'll say that from the end.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
We sha a little bit and Matt Matt will be
god teer, so he's not involved in that.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
But let's just get into gym stereotypes. Jpfi, you should
lead this. Yeah, you share a lot of passion behind this.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
The other day I was at the gym and I
felt moved to try to try to take a national
stance on a band that I think needed to happen,
and the band that I put out there on my
Twitter was as of I think the end of September,
three inch in seam shorts will no longer be allowed
at gym's and then by the end of December, people
(01:40):
that wear their hats like this like Matt at the
gym will also be banned. And the response was pretty
was pretty decent. I think a lot of people rallied
around it. I thought about saying even five inch in
seam shorts because they don't really fit for me, but
I know a couple of people around the bus wear
(02:00):
the five inch steam shorts, so I didn't want to.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
It's nothing that I will like stand ten to. I
don't have anything to argue. I just like five inches
in steam shorts. But I'm like, I stand with you.
If you said five inches were out, I would I
would even stand with you. I still wear them, but
what's the reasoning behind you liking them?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Truly?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Just like anything longer because I've owned other sorts too.
I just feel like I look goofy in and that's
like literally it.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't feel good either.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
No I'm saying anything longer than you feel good.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
This is large, right, but this isn't a take I'm
willing to be like you should like. It's just like
I like them.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, but well that's what I was saying earlier, like
they're pretty show why six inch in seam shorts are
not a universal thing. It goes five and seven and
they have even eight for like the and one.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Player target for me. Mitch is versatile with the short
game I have.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
I have plenty of different.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Standard today. Seven.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
They're usually to a shins.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
I don't know. These are just a large I don't
buy Yeah, I don't buy large or whatever. But like
the one, the the one pair of shorts that we're
all talking about that are like and one that those are, Yeah,
those those are from college. They were like like our
team store, like you had to buy them, just kind
(03:19):
of like they had like susky on.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
You have to buy them laid football from the school.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Yeah, I know, so D three crazy D three They
can't give you any like clothes or anything. So for Susquehanna,
we got uh two T shirts and two shorts and
those were what we worked out in an orange and
a maroon and had your number like back here, so
you had to buy any Susky gear you see me wearing.
I had to buy Susquehanna coach perk. You should give
(03:46):
me gear because of the amount of because I'm wearing.
I'm wearing that the stuff all the time. You getting
free publicity. I know you guys use me for recruiting,
like shout out, shout out my jersey right over there,
Big one four. But uh yeah, I need new gear.
But yes, those shorts that are down to my knees.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
When are you gonna put those in the rafters?
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Never? I love those shorts. The only thing, like I
was gonna say, the only thing that sucks about them
because you guys think the length sucks. I like it.
But like you can see, like if I'm wearing like
black underwear, you can see.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Through the outline of it too.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
If you're wearing then you can just hanging brain.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
That's a long hanging brain. Those shorts.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
It's fire though, dude, dude, they're legitimately down to like here.
Speaker 8 (04:35):
Dude, they're not even like they're not only down there,
they're like pants.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
They're baggy. Yeah, they're so comfy.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
In high school, I think it was either my freshman
or sophomore or doing summer workouts where all of us
were so stoked to get our shirt and shorts that
we were gonna be wearing, and Bro I was like
one of the last people to get them, and so
I had some Excel shorts. But even then I was like, Yo,
this actually goes so hard I probably looks.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
So we had a similar thing at Mars Hill where
we got our workout gear. You got your practice gear sweats,
but everyone got an XL depending on your height size.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
I mean if you were.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
Like dude, we didn't have like a massive guy on
our team weight wise, but like everyone got XL. So
we had some dudes that are like five six five
seven rocking long ass shorts. It was so I mean,
guys would end up just rolling them. But like my
sweats were XCEL. And then if you practice and it
was snowing or raining, it's so heavy and you're just like,
(05:38):
you know, the whole idea our coach said was like
you wear heavier gear, like when you practice on game day,
you feel a little lighter.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Right, Yeah, I mean my favorite pair of sweatponts I
have are like these black pair that I've had since
like freshman year of college. They are baggy as hell.
Like I don't even wear them into the shop because
they're like the heel and like the leg is just
starting to get free and stuff, and I know I'll
just get worked for having them wearing them, But I love.
(06:04):
I love, like like how Jack loves like baggy t
shirts and like baggy sweatshirts, and I like that, but
like for like sweatpants and for like sweatshirts and stuff
like that, I just want to be like wrapped like
a skin tight tea.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
And then baggy pants.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
He likes the viral dance videos on TikTok and people
are in those dance studios and they have the.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Baggy I think those pants. I do like baggy pants.
You know, y'all know those brown pants that wear that
are literally like triple xcel. God, this is so comfortable.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
Are they actually triple XL No.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
They're they're actually like my size but made to look
like that.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
But they look like Sam he bought five excel pants recently.
It's like this guy who like sells them and.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
What do you do with the waist?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I think that's how Yeah, And then he wears he
pairs with a five xcel t.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
He's like, I mean, he's average sized guy.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I might have to hop on. This is equipment issued
day in high school. Not one of the best days.
Speaker 7 (06:59):

Speaker 4 (07:00):
It really like I'm talking about you. You just get
like your jersey, I mean yeah, stuff like that.

click clack thing because you get that tool and you like, yeah,
spring them in and then you like you replace them
and you just.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
Get these like like like.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Talking about you just get these two inch plugs that
will just pierce the hand if you step on somebody.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I had insane like high top under Armoor cleats and
hes literally yes, they like yeah, like literally as tall
as my socks on, and they were they were honestly
kind of.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Mass They were like I remember some some of my
buddies got him and you're like, yo, those are five.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Were the cross where it's like they already expect us
to be douchebags. It's like, let's just take it up.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
And yeah, I was always a didas naturally.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Cleats from a s U Yeah, gave us actually had
the zero six ounces or what he does are the best.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
But like they they were so uncomfortable and cutting it,
cutting in them and like you feel like your foots
about it. Just go through it. But I see Jared
has his mic down because he can't really talk about cleats.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
Yeah, you you do have a funny like Bro has
the best kicks in here, Bro most expensive.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
But looking back, you do have a funny high school
story of when you were on the track team. Oh yeah,
that have I not told down here?
Speaker 5 (10:51):
No, I mean it's the second story because that's the
my track career. I just I tried out. My dad's
like a big runners.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Everything was fast except for me. Uh my dad's like
a big runner. So I was like, you know what,
like I'm not playing football, I'm not doing the steps.
I'll do you repteps shut out might ben uh and
and I was like I'll do the track team tried out.
I think like everyone makes it. It's mostly like football players.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Condition.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
We were like in six or seventh grade. We weren't
even in high school yet. Go to all the practices,
I'm like, by far the slowest guy, Like I try
out for the track stuff and they're like, you're not
doing that shit. So then I think like they decided
I'd do some long distance thing. But then the time
came for a meet and they're I mean, it's a school,
it's a public school system. We have a million buses.
And I'm just like, oh, what times the meat coach
(11:36):
and he's just like, we don't have enough space on
the bus for you. I was like, not enough space
on the bus, Like you got enough space on the
bus and he's like no, like the bus is full.
And then so that happens, and I'm like that's fucking insane.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
So then I just see my friends like posting videos
on the way the track meet half empty but like
they had space on the bus. I know, shout out
coach Flanders and he's like my friend's dad. I'm like,
I'm close with the guy. And then I quit the team.
And then like the next week everyone got their gear,
like y'all were saying, oh, so I never would I
have gotten I don't even know how teams work, like
what I've even gotten gear.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
They got uniforms and like I don't know what they got.
And also at our school, you don't get cut like
track and cross country, you don't even get cut.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
You just don't compete.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
So is that what I had?
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Like I because they didn't say, like you're done, he
was just like, you're not coming to the meet.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Intad have showed up the next week?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Oh yeah, I just quick because I was like, so
I can't compete. He was just running running.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
That's how you got into wrap?
Speaker 7 (12:35):
That was true?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
What the rap like film and rap music videos? Oh yeah, yeah,
I was trying to figure out the connection. Yeah. Because
then I just did journalism. That was my next choice.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
And then that's what.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Got me.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
All lacross conditioning because golf season was in the fall,
and it was amazing.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
Run into golf.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
Was your golf season? Did your golf season start before
the school started, so it was done like first week
of October?
Speaker 8 (13:03):
Uh, it would go a little longer because of like regionals, districts.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
It's like that down here too.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
We did have at least one tournament before school because
we would get our lockers early and then so many
times I got to leave school early because of matches.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Yeah, we are our golf team was like done because
in PA gets colder, like first week of October and
then it's like, oh, yeah we have a golf team.
They're already done, but like they started two or three
weeks before school. We even started obviously because of the
summer and stuff.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
We were nasty my senior year.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
What what's y'all's uh like most heartbreaking high school loss? Dude? Also, sid,
I feel like yall school probably had some drip.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Fourth Christian.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Yeah, what was your mascot?
Speaker 6 (13:47):
What were your colors?
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Red and black? And we were the Cardinals?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Oh that's yours fan.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
But I mean I didn't.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
I didn't play football when I was at Fourth Christian,
added at Keller and they were whatever.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
But your grades were bad. Physical didn't go through.
Speaker 9 (14:04):
It like they had like the they had like sickness.
We had sick like blackout uniforms like the oh, like we.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Look we look good, like yeah, but we looked good.
Speaker 9 (14:13):
We had like those under armour like they almost looked
like textas tech.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Yeah, that old template.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Yeah, they look good because we were winning. I don't
know what they look like now.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
I was in the locker room after a game for
like two hours with like three of my buddies just
crying after a game my.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Senior year Friday night. It sounds track going in his head.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Yeah, bro, it was like it was our homecoming year,
homecoming year, Yeah, home homecoming game, and it was like
it was against a team that like we should have
kind of we should have beat obviously, but it's the
fourth quarter. We're driving down. We get into like high
school field goal range, like it was gonna be like
a forty yarder, and we had like one of my
(14:53):
buddies on the soccer team was our kicker. So we
had like a soccer guy that could kick the ball
pretty good. I was the holder. Go out there, I
dropped a snap Tony Romo. Didn't even give our kicker
a chance, Like the odds of him making it were
so slim.
Speaker 8 (15:08):
But that's crazy to try and roll out and like
hit foul deep or something.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
You already know. I wait, did you did?
Speaker 7 (15:17):
I go to the same.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
As well half uh but like so, but like he didn't,
like it would have been like his longest make he's
ever made, like even in practice. So like, but I
didn't even give him a chance to like try. So
then we went into overtime and we lost in overtime,
and I'm like, this is all my fault. The reason,
the reason we're not gonna go five hundred this year
is because of me.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Like what was the kicker mad at you?
Speaker 6 (15:44):
I don't know if he was or not.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Likely still thinks about it.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
But yeah moment, No, I don't have his number. But
we went into uh went to the locker room, and
I was just down there for like me h Alec
and this other kid. We were down there for like
two or three hours, to the point where my dad
had to come down. He's like, let's go, it's time
to it's time to go with the But it was
(16:09):
that was that was my heartbreaking. I feel yeah, I was.
And then I went up and like, are.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
He supposed to schedule like a knockdown team for homecoming,
like a shitty team, so you win because it's home coming.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
It was supposed to like so like not to like
add insult to injury.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
For sure.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
It wasn't like it wasn't like a knockdown team, the
knockdown team. It was. We were the knockdown team for
other teams, but like the team that we were playing
like it was a good It was like a good
type of game?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Did you play both ways? Obviously?
Speaker 7 (16:42):
No.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
Actually, my senior year, I played safety and I played
the first game and I didn't like tackling. And then
my buddy's dad was our defensive coordinator. He's like, hey,
I'm going to take you off the defense. I'm like that,
It's completely fine. I'm all but I but I was
like a part returner kick returner offense. So did it
with the holder? Yeah? Field holder?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (17:02):
How did you get that job?
Speaker 6 (17:03):
I don't know, I just had. I just kind of
did it a couple of times. And I could also
throw in case we wanted to do Like I punted
for a couple of games too, because in case we
wanted to run a fake.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Like.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
It was just we had like thirty forty guys on
our team, and there was a point where we almost
had to forfeit a game because we only had twenty
six healthy guys on our team. Like we were. We
were that bad it was Jared could have suited up
with y'all for like Jared probably would have played.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
I feel like our team was so big in high school, went.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
There all the yeah, all the guys, all the kids
played baseball. Who we knew were athletes, like they could
have played football, but they were like, no, I'm not
trying to lose, and it's like, well, if you help
us out, maybe we won't lose. Yeah. It was like
the entire school like low key hated the football team
because we like sucked.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Did that our team sucked too?
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Did I ever tell y'all about my my most athletic
moment against for Shan Bateman in high school?
Speaker 4 (17:56):
No? I didn't tell you about that. Yeah, it's it's fake.
I mean, it's a real story, but.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
It's all average.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
It's a real story. But so like y'all, did any
of y'all do Young Life? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
So I did Young Life And there's like a pageant
at the end of the year. It's like one guy
from each grade. I don't really even know what the
point of it is, Like it's I don't know, do
you compete and it's like you do these certain things
and like the talent show portion. I don't know why
I decided. I was like I'm just gonna get like
Rashad like because I think I was a senior. So
he just graduated and he was in town like for Christmas,
and I was like, hey, can my talent just be
(18:28):
like I beat you in every sport on stage and
he's like yeah, So then I just like dunked on him.
I like I caught a ball over him, and then
I I gotta I gotta find if someone has a
video of that. I'm about to say there has to
be a because I.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
Just let this guy let me win. It was like
some of the dudes.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Some of the dudes were like actually trying talent stuff.
I'm gonna juggle like I know how to do this,
and I was just like I walked up there. I
was like, I'm gonna beat Rashade Babman in every sport,
and then I.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Just did it.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
You've had more athletic moments since then, though it Dad comebine,
you showed out.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
Yeah, that was that.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Truly was like, now, is this what sports felt like
in high school? Jared is currently peaked up? Was your
young life thing like your mister high school?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
No?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
I was that too.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
I was mister t CHS, so that you and mister
t HS were different. Yeah, young life is like a
Christian it was called it mister Christmas something. I honestly
wasn't that involved in young life, like I don't even remember.
I didn't go to all this stuff. They were just like,
will you do this? Because they needed one guy from
each grade. I guess I was the man.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Did you have like a mister yeah, mister Eastside?
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Were you? Did you compete in it?
Speaker 4 (19:42):
My sophomore year I got miss was mister sophomore We
only did like, oh so sorry. Actually senior year, I
did do it, and yeah, I took my name out
of the hat because I was just going to use it.
And that's how I did my prom post because they
were like, okay, JP. The question for everybody was if
(20:05):
you could ask one person in the world any question,
who would it be and what would you ask him?
Speaker 6 (20:09):
There we go, I'll ask Amantha Handle if she would
go to prom with me. She said no, like prompos
is a good thing. Did anybody have any cool promposes?
Speaker 8 (20:19):
That's a only question I I and we left early.
Fire dude was prom and left early just to go
to the after party. A prom itself was Jack.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
And I asked, so fun? Oh no, dude, it was fine.
We got to fix y'alls culture.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I was a sophomore guy's why.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Would too freaking invented the culture?
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I went to Raven Wood did.
Speaker 9 (20:41):
What was It's not even a promposal, It's like a homecoming.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Like asking I was homecoming too.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
This this girl, her name was Blair. Her dad was
the coach for like one of our division rivals, head coach.
But she went to Keller and like we were cool.
So like I was gonna ask her the homecoming You
at the sign ready, like I'm with my boys. They're
kind of like hiding off to the side and go
knock on her door. The door opens to like their
whole football like the rival football team, like they're having
(21:09):
a meeting.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
It was like like I just like football is in Texas.
That's even more scary.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
And and they were good, like they were better than Keller.
Speaker 7 (21:21):
They were good.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
The quarterback was there as the coach's son, like all
the school.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
It was just a bunch of Hyler Murray. But they
all opened the door and just like start laughing.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Oh my was like I thought, like.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
I thought I got stood up by my friend, Like
I thought I was getting prayed. Yeah, and it was bad.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
And then and I was like it's Blarry and they
laughed and went and shut the door. And I was
like I almost like just laughed, Yeah, yeah, so hard, like.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Off to the side.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
I was like, I just got I just got punked.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Was like surprised. What was happy?
Speaker 7 (21:54):
And yeah she said yeah, but it was like it
was still because I was like it was already ruined.
Her dad opened the door.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
I honestly think her dad opened the door the whole
like Fossil Ridge starting office.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
Laugh.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
That's gold.
Speaker 9 (22:14):
Like when you're like, I guess when you're like thirteen fourteen,
they're all like seniors, juniors.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
They're the coolest people in the world. They're not for
my school, but like they're right even worse. I'm just
like these are like, yeah, these are legends.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Autographic one the one I did, Like I was in
journalism too, and I like we had our our school
paper and for what like I was like our May
edition or April edition. It's like hey, like and I
would suit we were suiting, Like our journalism class is
super like close and like we were friends. I was like, hey,
do you we mind if I ask Canada to prom
(22:50):
on like the back of the newspaper. So they went
out like pages, Yeah, we did it, and like it
was it like went out to the entire school and
like the entire school knew that I asked Hanada prom
so it's actually kind of sick. And then another another
another time, another time. This was homecoming and it's still Hannah.
I put like it was like super late, and I
(23:12):
didn't really want to think of something crazy, so I
put like homecoming on my driveway as we were coming up,
and she saw it. No, I just spelled it right.
We saw it and she was like, is that how
you're going to ask me a homecoming? I'm like yeah,
She's like, that's bad. You gotta oh my god. So
I had to re ask her. Oh yeah. We dated
for like three or four years.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
It was awesome. This one just sounds great. She's awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Homecoming was just not a thing at our high school.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I don't even know if there was a homecoming dance.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
It was you guys have any dances at all?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
How m and I think we had like a freshman year,
my sophomore year and then I don't think. I don't
think I went, but I came with us.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, we wore fitted flat bills. Flat bills, I mean.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Like Baltimore Oriols wonder.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I had crazy long hair that swooped over but yeah,
it was fun. You know, it's always cool being the
sophomore because you see all like the slutty girls who
are like just going after seniors.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Like yeah, it's like I'm here too, but for different reasons.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
I'm an option.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Yeah, but it just wasn't like a thing for us
at all.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
No, homecoming was not the standard for us if everyone
just was too cool for it. I think it was
a generational thing where like over like the course of
fifteen years, every class was like, we don't do homecoming.
Speaker 9 (24:37):
This could be dumb question, was y'all homecoming? Like did
y'all wear like the girls were the big moms, Like
that's what they were called, Like like yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Like the decorative stuff we did that for they just
wore these like little boys would wear one on the arms.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
You don't know what I'm talking about. I gotta show
you what I'm talking about. It's called like moms and garters.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I think, do we.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
That sounds yeah?
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Yeah, figure dude, our school makes such a big deal
like literally, like for every dance we would we like
I wouldn't even prepare this much as an adult now.
We would rent a party bus. Like everyone get hammered
on this thing you ride around for like because you
rent it like six hours, ride around for like two hours,
and just like get drunk, show up to the dance. Yeah,
just embarrass yourself at homecoming or promp for like an hour.
(25:17):
And like everyone else, I thought they'd be too cool,
like they'd go to the dance, I try to look cool.
We would just be like drunk and like just jumping
around like actually like and the teachers liked it. They're
like they're actually like we hired a DJ. They're like
enjoying the party.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
And then like we would just literally.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Uh the water bottle filled with dude.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
There's this picture of me. It was like when I
was on prom court or I don't know what you
call it. Like I didn't win, but it's like the
like when you all have to stand up there and
like you have to show up at a certain time.
I'm just hammered, just drenched and sweat from riding on
this party bus. And like my parents like I don't
think they knew I drink back then. So I have
a picture of me with my family and I'm just
like my hair is like dripping on my face. I'm
just like that's when the eyes were born. Yeah, and
(25:56):
it was just and then you'd go and then we'd
rent a lake house after because there's like a lake
thirty minutes away. Just everyone would say at this house.
It was the best parties I've probably still ever been to.
My goal was to get to a yeah after after
problem was bro.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
My the after parties I had for promes. I got
yelled at for three hours after one by your girl, Yeah,
because I.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Want you're gonna yeah, yeah, you can't have all wins. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
I won prom king that night, and then I wish
I was on, Like I was so happy. My girlfriend
at the time did not win. The one picture I
have that's it started. Yeah, she was in the back.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
All proms were.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
That's how I worked.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
Yeah, yeah, like a couple.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah, a couple.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
No no, no, there was a female winner, but she
independent elections.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Yeah, and then you have to slow dance with the
other person.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
It was like one of my we left, like, let's go.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
It was one of my best friends girlfriend organize it.
Who who won it? So like it was kind of
like weird, but it was also like I was cool
with her. And then we went to the after party
and really wasn't much of an after party. There was
like ten of us who just went to my buddy's house.
I had like a pond fire girls.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
No, it was all like the dates, but it was,
but we couples, five couples.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
It was like five couples. And I was in the
car for like two hours.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
It was a movie about that field goal.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
Just getting yelled at by my girlfriend because I didn't
go up and celebrate with her. And I'm like, ha,
I won, you didn't because I had people during dude,
at lunch, like during this the week leading up to prom,
I had people come up to me like I voted
for you, but I did not vote for Hannah.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
So she was like, was she not liked?
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Not very well? Which should have been? Which should have been?
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Though, I hope you're doing good in your career.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Yeah, probably not.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Okay, did this one.
Speaker 8 (27:47):
Go? Go?
Speaker 7 (27:50):
Say it? No, we'll blep it.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
No, she still follows me. No, it's like we're still
kind of friends. I can't say it. Never mind, Wait
when you dropped the field goal thing? Were you seeing
that one to the dance with? Okay, good, I'll make
sure because I'll be here.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
I was a senior.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
We uh, I was about to say. We quickly got
through like the saddest like loss. Yeah, yeah, share the
same one.
Speaker 7 (28:16):
We share.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
We share the same one. But I'll let Jack take
the one we share. But my senior year, we came
in second in golf in state and lost the state
championship in lacrosse. Oh yeah, I went thirty and oh
in the regular season for golf and lost by four strokes.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
You the number one who may no, I was five.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Their golf team was cracked in high school. Yeah, they
were so damn good.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
But at Lacrosse, we we played m U S because
at this time it's still a club, so we're playing
private schools and m U S and McAuley were like
the notorious, like they would just trade off championships.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
There have never been a public school to win the
state championship. And we're twelve to nine with like two
and a half minutes left. All we have to do
is literally hold the ball and there's a.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Fox and I don't know if it's like after two
minutes or something, but like if you step.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Out of the box, it's like a turnover to back
that happens.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
They go down four unanswered goals and they win in
the last like five seconds and it's like no one
gave a shit about lacrosse, which is rightfully. So this
game there was a ship ton of people there and
it was a fun yea and oh dude, and one
of our buddies, we were gonna go to their house
(29:34):
like if we won, their parents like yonkin party, and
and everyone's crying like we're not doing it, and like
an hour later we're like, all right, we're gonna go still.
Speaker 8 (29:42):
And the day before so yeah, like Jack said, we
were like the public school, like repping. And the day
before we play McCauley and it's a tight game and
Jack actually had like a pivotal ass goal to get
us to the state championship.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Where you like drop they caught it.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Bro, Damn Mitch has heard.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
This, and.
Speaker 8 (30:04):
And then we uh's That next day. I swear I
was walking into that field and was like, no one
can fucking stop us. And that day, up until those
last couple of minutes, they couldn't do anything about it,
and then it was gone before you knew it.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
God, I don't want to put blame on anyone.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
He doesn't.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
No, I'm not even saying Matt Richardson, I know, I
knows English.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
I love you Ross, but we should have had Madden.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
He was a younger kid and he was sophomore, but
he was by far better and he was tiny but yeah,
yeah he was tiny.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
But Ross was a really big guy. But like he
was a senior. It was like his last game, so
I think the coach was kind of trying to be
like we had.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
A division one offered freshman goalie on our team or
sophomore whatever.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
He was young, but he was.
Speaker 8 (30:55):
Matt I swear again no disrespect, but if Mattie Ice
was in Gold, it wouldn't have even been close.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah, brutal, And then we just wart to school like
yeah across his gay still.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (31:05):
Yeah that was tough because after that game, I had
to go to my senior what was like your graduation party?
Speaker 7 (31:13):
Yeah, for those, I had to go to mine.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
After the game. After the game, Oh yeah, I definitely.
Speaker 8 (31:18):
Came to and I just remember like being in a
car like I'm not fucking going in right, And I
just remember Butch like giving me a beer and just
was like take your time.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
I just sat in the car and just was like
bawling my eyes out. Crush that beer.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
What was we got? We got second place in state
championship my junior year, and yeah it was brutal because
we were out playing the other team, but we hit
the post probably six times and they had they pretty
I don't know if they had a single shot on goal.
And with two minutes left, our center back a ball
(31:55):
gets played over top to nobody and it takes like
this weird balance and he goes down to like settle
it with his chest or something and just handballs it
in the box. With two minutes left, they score on
a PK. When they're doing the trophy ceremony, like nobody
from our team goes to grab the second place one.
So I go up there. I have a photo of
me just like I didn't solo. But dude, the worst part,
(32:18):
Like four weeks later, we're at my friend Jeff's house
and it's me, Jeff Mitchell, and Mitchell's the one that
handballed it, and we go we walk upstairs and Jeff's
dad has a rerun of the state championship game going
on in the last minutes, like trolling Mitchell, and we
all come upstairs, like, mister Brady, what do you watch it?
(32:39):
He's like oh my bad. You know, nothing turns it.
Mitchell just sees it and just walks back downstairs. Because
after the game. Once we lost the games in Columbia,
Mitchell tried to walk home from like the whole ceremonies
going on the other side of the fence water. But
we did. We won the next year, and I brought
(33:01):
the second place trophy for a pregame speech, and uh,
I was like, y'all remember this feeling from last year.
It's like, screw that feeling. And I tossed the trophy.
The whole locker room just starts like kicking it, like
never again. One Mitchell when he was a senior, but
he once stayed his sophomore year, so he does have
a ring.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
So you won't stayed twice and we lost.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
I went on varsity my freshman year. Oh got you
got you gotch We lost junior year. One senior year.
Speaker 7 (33:29):
I used to love going to our high school soccer game. Dude,
the crowd they were so good, great place all four
years for sure. Yeah, all the lights were off, but
on the soccer field, so you could just yeah, hit some.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
One time I did.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
I did smoke, and I I think I was fifteen,
got dropped off show up. My mom always knew if
I'd smoked weed, and I always thought I could get
away with it. And she's like, why are your eyes
so red? And I'm freaking out and I'm like, mom,
like so defensive.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
I'm like I got hit in the eye with water
bottle in my head. I'm like, I check me. And
then she's like, so, why are both of your eyes red?
Speaker 1 (34:05):
And I'm literally in my bathroom upstairs and I just
stripped fully naked, turned the shower.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
And I'm like, get out, I'm taking a shower. She
didn't say.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Anything about it, but I'm just panicking the whole night,
and so it could have just been put to bed,
nothing be said. I go down Sirs for breakfast to
go to school tomorrow, and I go I'm like, wosh,
I'm about to double down.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
I'm like, Marvey's so weird. Last night, Mom, She's like,
I know you're smoking weed.
Speaker 8 (34:30):
There was a moment Jack and I had been smoking
and I dropped him off at home or whatever, and
I get this random text, like a weird amount of
time after that's like why did I get?
Speaker 7 (34:43):
Why do I have eye drops?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
And I'm like I was getting set up by my
mom text Garrett.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Yeah, because I literally made Garrett after that me getting
the water bottle sickness I And the next time I
was like, Garret, you have to take me to Kroger.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
I have to have drops. And so I get him.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
I'm like I'm good and she finds the eye drops
and she's like, you're smoking weed.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
I'm like no, I'm like, I gotta hit in the
eye with a fucking water bottle.
Speaker 7 (35:10):
Yeah, Jack's that text. I was like, this, they're either.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Garrett was so smooth.
Speaker 8 (35:15):
I was like.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Yeah, that's when I started calling the way.
Speaker 7 (35:19):
The way the text came through, I was like, this
is he needs a life saving moment.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
Here was like literally your eyes were itchy.
Speaker 7 (35:26):
Your eyes.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
It was like, thank god, Dad tell you about that
thing when I was high in class and I got
that scholarship.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Oh yeah, this is that is funny. This is like
something in my I don't even know if I want
to say on here, but I think I might have
told my parents. But either way they know I've smoked
weed before.
Speaker 7 (35:44):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
We we would just hit like Dad pins and I
didn't know him that often in high school, but we
like had just hit one, which.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Is just like so high, and I'm not good with
weed at all. I don't do weed at all anymore.
I'm they all know I'm so bad with weed.
Speaker 7 (35:58):
You should do weed again.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
I should try not. I should because I had the
worst experiences. But I did it in class or I
was hiding class. I don't even remember where we hit it.
And then I'm sitting there and I guess like i'd
applied for a scholarship recently, like I wasn't thinking about that.
Like our door on the classroom has like glass around
it where you can see the hallway and you just
see like principal assistant, principal counselor like like maybe like
(36:22):
a student eight or something is like recording either on
a phone or like a camera, and we're.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
All just like what the hell? And me and my
friends are bugging like what is going on? They come
in they're like Jared Beamon.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
I was like what is going and they're like, you
won the whatever scholarship and I was like, uh huh,
like yeah, and then like we're all smiling and taking pictures.
I'm just then I forgot who I've told this to.
Then they're like, now we got to pull you from class.
Then they bring me, they bring me to the guidance
office and they're like, for some reason I have I
(36:54):
don't remember the details of this because this doesn't make sense,
but you have to like fill out this essay thing
as like the final thing. I don't know why you
already want it. And I literally just refused to do it.
Like I was sitting in there with them, I'm like,
I can't do it, and they're all sitting around. He's
like literally just right like YadA YadA YadA, like this
is for like a sponsored thing.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
Princess, we know you smoked weed.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
Yeah, And then I just didn't And then I sat
there for ten minutes and I can't do it. I'm sorry,
and they're like this is how much money? It wasn'tnything crazy?
And I just left that room went to my dad's
class room and he's like, oh, congrats. I was like, now,
fuck that scholarship.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
I didn't win it. He's like, what are you talking about?
And I just went to sleep in his office.
Speaker 6 (37:28):
High Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
I just like laid down his office and then he
had to have known what was going on.
Speaker 7 (37:32):
I had a tough high at school moment.
Speaker 8 (37:34):
Too.
Speaker 6 (37:34):
That was my only one crazy to go to school high.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
Well, I was already the fun.
Speaker 4 (37:40):
I was so scared shit like that happens.
Speaker 5 (37:44):
It's fun when you're sitting in class and you're like
what the hell and then like that's the worst thing
to happen.
Speaker 8 (37:49):
Just everyone comes in in the school parking lot for
the whole class. And it was not even weren't even
smoking weed.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
It was like K two like here guys here geeked
out on Spring Day. Bro almost lost them for real.
Speaker 7 (38:05):
I just remember, I don't think I could have. It
was only up from there.
Speaker 8 (38:11):
But let it go to the parking lot, getting our
friends Epic Avalanche and hot Boxes car, and then I
get outside, I'm like, dude, I feel insane and.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
I like synthetic you get from a gas Yeah.
Speaker 8 (38:27):
Yeah, it's not designed to sit on the ground for
a fifteen year old boy. Because I'm like everything's starting
to like move really hard. And so I sit on
the park on the concrete and lean up against the
car and behind our high school Granny White Park, and
the trees are just like violently like moving back and forth.
Speaker 7 (38:48):
And the guy I'm with, like.
Speaker 8 (38:52):
Probably probably was the guy was with was like weirdly,
like he'd be talking to me, but like he'd be
like right here, and then he'd be like over there,
like dude bouncing around, and I just was like, holy shit,
like what is happening? I thought I was like in
this forever and it had been like twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Wait, but you gotta tell when you got to go
back in the school.
Speaker 8 (39:11):
I had to go back in and the class period
had ended and then Spring Day started, so Spring Day
like the second half of school.

Speaker 7 (39:30):
I was like no, like I gotta go now. That's
how that was like my out of the classroom.
Speaker 8 (39:35):
But I had to go back and I'm still just
like faded as fuck, and she and I are the
only people in the hallway and I'm like nearing her
classroom and she was like, how're the bathroom going. I
was just like, Wendy, I think my shit's in there,
Like I gotta get out of here. It was terrifying
walking back in there, everyone's outside. I'm the only student
(39:55):
in the building here. Literally felt like twenty one jumps
when like.
Speaker 7 (40:02):
Come down to him. I was just like.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
Sol in the school. It's hilarious, bro, It's.
Speaker 8 (40:08):
So quiet, and I knew where all my friends were.
Half of them ditched and the other half we like
outside playing soccer like.
Speaker 7 (40:16):
So it felt so.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Yeah, she was a chiller though for sure could have
been way worse people to run into and that whole
way like Dan Winfrey could have been.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
He was the guidance counselor and football coach.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
Was he head football coach?
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yeah, and he he did the same position every day
during like class periods. He just stood like this and
he wouldn't say anything and he just knuck you like
that's it. And honestly sucked for Austin. I mean, just
to have your dad we in my class alone, the principal,
vice principal, guidance counselor, football coach, all had kids in
(40:58):
my grade.
Speaker 6 (41:01):
Sucks for them.
Speaker 5 (41:02):
Yeah, my dad made it was so like fun, just
an out like people just gkip classic, what do you
teach marketing?
Speaker 4 (41:10):
He just told stories marketing, y'all have marketing? Yeah, it's
like we had pathways.
Speaker 5 (41:15):

when I went to my high school te c c
t a E.
Speaker 6 (41:21):
Yeah, c T A E.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
I think I said it too quick. It's like the
career pathway.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
Those cool classes. It was like home ch and I
chose under it. Yeah, like we just like what funk
around and like cook horrible. That was one of them.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Now you'd have definitely done media for sure. Yeah, because
today media all four years. My senior year, I was
like an intern, so I got paid to do all
day after school shoots.
Speaker 4 (41:42):
They Yeah, that's how it should be.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
My last three periods were just in media, and then
I had dual enrollment, so like Monday, Wednesday, Friday, that
first period English, Tuesday, Thursday, No, first period goes straight
in to p E two, second period, fifth period trial academics,
and then six, seventh and eighth were all media.
Speaker 4 (42:03):
Almost exactly what I.
Speaker 7 (42:04):
Say, smoking fun we had, Uh, we didn't have two.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
My senior year. I just did like college and Pey
County schools and some did me dirty, got me behind.
Speaker 6 (42:17):
My school kind of sucked, dude.
Speaker 5 (42:18):
You One of the c c t a E classes
is like early childhood development. It's like learning, like I
guess if you want to work in the medical field
with kids specifically, it's all about like babies. And when
I went back to my high school to speak to classes,
they like put me on the schedule to talk to
one of those classes. I don't know why, Like it
was mostly marketing classes and media classes, and I go
into one, I'm like all right, Like I'm like who,
(42:39):
like who in here is interested like a media and
like no one raises their hand. I'm like, what classes
this in the early childhood development?
Speaker 4 (42:44):
Like why the fun? Like the little fake baby and
that whole I didn't take the class, but yeah, you
had like carried.
Speaker 7 (42:50):
Around and sucked.
Speaker 6 (42:51):
Would you guys have periods? Did you guys have blocks?
Speaker 4 (42:53):
We actually we changed you had both.
Speaker 9 (42:56):
Yeah, we did, like block schedule. Would you like two
days during the week. I like block schedule more.
Speaker 4 (43:02):
Honestly, don't even know four classes periods or fifty?
Speaker 7 (43:07):
This period is the quick.
Speaker 6 (43:07):
One, Yeah, I like that better for four classes a day.
And then like we had like a flex period. So
it's like you had English Social studies and then like
something else. But every class was like an hour and
a half long. And flex period was like forty five minutes.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
And then flip like the next day you'd have your.
Speaker 6 (43:26):
Yeah so flex yeah yeah. So it was like that
and then like flex period, whenever you had flex lost,
the day of the week would change. The day of
the week would change. So like it's like flex period two.
So you go back to your second block and then
just do that. It was like it sounds period now,
but like you were just in the same class.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
I just don't want to be in class for two
hours in high school.
Speaker 7 (43:47):
Dude.
Speaker 4 (43:47):
We switched half through my high school career. Class Yeah,
chill last time.
Speaker 8 (43:53):
It's like the who was the creative journalism teacher? He
was also like a football coach or at least on staff.
I can't remember his name, super chiller. I cannot think
of his name. It's gonna piss me off. But we
basically just watched movies all day.
Speaker 4 (44:09):
Do My dad halfway through the block would just turn
Shark Tank on. We watched all right, here's your marketing
for today, Kevin O'Leary.
Speaker 7 (44:21):
Jack and I saw one of the teachers at our
high school at Ponder every.
Speaker 5 (44:25):
Year, and that was that's hilarious as fire seeing a
high school teacher in the wild while you're in high school.
Speaker 8 (44:32):
So much to tell the Mike Bean and story brou.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
My first concert went to his base nector definitely base
actor like heavy.
Speaker 4 (44:42):
Like especially when we were in high school. I feel
like they were doing a tour because so many of
my friends.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
I was fifteen.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
It's a place called Limelight th Rest in Piece of Limelight.
It's right next to the Titan Stadium outdoor concert. Back then,
the IDs you could cut out a number from the
phone book and then it match perfectly with the font
color of your ID, so like as long as they
didn't actually pull it out, you could pass. So like
it was eighteen of concert, I looked like fucking eighteen
when I was like twenty four. So like the math fifteen,
(45:10):
they're like, who are you? I get in, I'm having
fun and I run into my head coach. That's like
my lacrosse coach, and like the next day I'm like,
go to practice. But at the thing, it's like one
of those stairdowns, kind of like Garrett his English teacher
in the hallway and where I'm like I'm fucked, and
then in his head I'm not realizing He's like I'm fucked. Yeah,
and then he comes up to me and he's like
(45:31):
we're not gonna talk about this, right, And I was
like nope, And then I'm like damn, I kind of
have him corner.
Speaker 3 (45:37):
He's even realizing that I'm fifteen here, like so this
is what.
Speaker 4 (45:40):
Leverages literally shout out being yeah, you are.
Speaker 6 (45:44):
My one teacher, mister Hurtzer, he's the man still like
I still I'm actually just text him earlier this week.
He would just be like yeah. We would always go
hang out in his class, like before school started, and
he's like, yeah, I mean that my friends had a
like he called like getting drunk and going I was
like a wine party. So we would come in after
weekends like this hurts you have a wine party this weekend.
You'd be like yeah, and we were like, oh, that's
always sick, dude, you get drunk? Yeah exactly.
Speaker 5 (46:07):
My dad called it mountain dews. Like when he was
in teacher mode, he'd be like anyone hadn't. Like he'd
be like we had mountain dws like this, and like
did you have mountain news this weekend? Like and like
it was like plausible deniability almost talk about it in
class that's funny.
Speaker 7 (46:19):
I got to uh, I got to bounce.
Speaker 6 (46:21):
Yeah. How long we've been going at perfect.
Speaker 4 (46:24):
On the dot every time?
Speaker 3 (46:26):

Speaker 7 (46:38):
Put chopped in the comments.
Speaker 4 (46:40):
Yeah, sho malone, chop malone, shot malone.
Speaker 7 (46:46):
Cheese
Welcome to the only pod that is not chopped inside
the bus. You have myself, Jack Cooper to my left, Garrett, Mitch, JP, Jared,
and Chopped Zilla himself. Matt Malone, our new official producer,
rats on getting the job. We were discussing this earlier
(00:22):
in the shop. Our producer Matt is eerily similar to
a local internet celebrity, Steiny of the Milk Boys. What
local local internet celebrity.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I don't know du worldwide internation, but yeah, we's got
some things to discuss today.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
We might go over Jim stereotypes.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
We are gonna go over to the appropriate length for
men shorts and why there should be a universal length
that is not sold in stores. We'll get to that,
and then maybe we're gonna rank our top three most
chop humans that we can think of.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
But we'll say that from the end.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
We sha a little bit and Matt Matt will be
god teer, so he's not involved in that.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
But let's just get into gym stereotypes. Jpfi, you should
lead this. Yeah, you share a lot of passion behind this.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
The other day I was at the gym and I
felt moved to try to try to take a national
stance on a band that I think needed to happen,
and the band that I put out there on my
Twitter was as of I think the end of September,
three inch in seam shorts will no longer be allowed
at gym's and then by the end of December, people
(01:40):
that wear their hats like this like Matt at the
gym will also be banned. And the response was pretty
was pretty decent. I think a lot of people rallied
around it. I thought about saying even five inch in
seam shorts because they don't really fit for me, but
I know a couple of people around the bus wear
(02:00):
the five inch steam shorts, so I didn't want to.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
It's nothing that I will like stand ten to. I
don't have anything to argue. I just like five inches
in steam shorts. But I'm like, I stand with you.
If you said five inches were out, I would I
would even stand with you. I still wear them, but
what's the reasoning behind you liking them?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Truly?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Just like anything longer because I've owned other sorts too.
I just feel like I look goofy in and that's
like literally it.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't feel good either.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
No I'm saying anything longer than you feel good.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
This is large, right, but this isn't a take I'm
willing to be like you should like. It's just like
I like them.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, but well that's what I was saying earlier, like
they're pretty show why six inch in seam shorts are
not a universal thing. It goes five and seven and
they have even eight for like the and one.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Player target for me. Mitch is versatile with the short
game I have.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
I have plenty of different.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Standard today. Seven.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
They're usually to a shins.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
I don't know. These are just a large I don't
buy Yeah, I don't buy large or whatever. But like
the one, the the one pair of shorts that we're
all talking about that are like and one that those are, Yeah,
those those are from college. They were like like our
team store, like you had to buy them, just kind
(03:19):
of like they had like susky on.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
You have to buy them laid football from the school.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Yeah, I know, so D three crazy D three They
can't give you any like clothes or anything. So for Susquehanna,
we got uh two T shirts and two shorts and
those were what we worked out in an orange and
a maroon and had your number like back here, so
you had to buy any Susky gear you see me wearing.
I had to buy Susquehanna coach perk. You should give
(03:46):
me gear because of the amount of because I'm wearing.
I'm wearing that the stuff all the time. You getting
free publicity. I know you guys use me for recruiting,
like shout out, shout out my jersey right over there,
Big one four. But uh yeah, I need new gear.
But yes, those shorts that are down to my knees.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
When are you gonna put those in the rafters?
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Never? I love those shorts. The only thing, like I
was gonna say, the only thing that sucks about them
because you guys think the length sucks. I like it.
But like you can see, like if I'm wearing like
black underwear, you can see.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Through the outline of it too.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
If you're wearing then you can just hanging brain.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
That's a long hanging brain. Those shorts.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
It's fire though, dude, dude, they're legitimately down to like here.
Speaker 8 (04:35):
Dude, they're not even like they're not only down there,
they're like pants.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
They're baggy. Yeah, they're so comfy.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
In high school, I think it was either my freshman
or sophomore or doing summer workouts where all of us
were so stoked to get our shirt and shorts that
we were gonna be wearing, and Bro I was like
one of the last people to get them, and so
I had some Excel shorts. But even then I was like, Yo,
this actually goes so hard I probably looks.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
So we had a similar thing at Mars Hill where
we got our workout gear. You got your practice gear sweats,
but everyone got an XL depending on your height size.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
I mean if you were.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
Like dude, we didn't have like a massive guy on
our team weight wise, but like everyone got XL. So
we had some dudes that are like five six five
seven rocking long ass shorts. It was so I mean,
guys would end up just rolling them. But like my
sweats were XCEL. And then if you practice and it
was snowing or raining, it's so heavy and you're just like,
(05:38):
you know, the whole idea our coach said was like
you wear heavier gear, like when you practice on game day,
you feel a little lighter.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Right, Yeah, I mean my favorite pair of sweatponts I
have are like these black pair that I've had since
like freshman year of college. They are baggy as hell.
Like I don't even wear them into the shop because
they're like the heel and like the leg is just
starting to get free and stuff, and I know I'll
just get worked for having them wearing them, But I love.
(06:04):
I love, like like how Jack loves like baggy t
shirts and like baggy sweatshirts, and I like that, but
like for like sweatpants and for like sweatshirts and stuff
like that, I just want to be like wrapped like
a skin tight tea.
Speaker 7 (06:16):
And then baggy pants.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
He likes the viral dance videos on TikTok and people
are in those dance studios and they have the.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Baggy I think those pants. I do like baggy pants.
You know, y'all know those brown pants that wear that
are literally like triple xcel. God, this is so comfortable.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
Are they actually triple XL No.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
They're they're actually like my size but made to look
like that.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
But they look like Sam he bought five excel pants recently.
It's like this guy who like sells them and.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
What do you do with the waist?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I think that's how Yeah, And then he wears he
pairs with a five xcel t.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
He's like, I mean, he's average sized guy.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I might have to hop on. This is equipment issued
day in high school. Not one of the best days.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
I didn't have it.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
It really like I'm talking about you. You just get
like your jersey, I mean yeah, stuff like that.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
Yeah, I mean I guess that was fun, and like
getting your practice penny was fun.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
But you just walked into your locker room and then
your equipment.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
We have the locker room across went to state.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
What up? You had.

Don't get me on that.
Speaker 8 (07:35):

click clack thing because you get that tool and you like, yeah,
spring them in and then you like you replace them
and you just.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
Get these like like like.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Talking about you just get these two inch plugs that
will just pierce the hand if you step on somebody.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I had insane like high top under Armoor cleats and
hes literally yes, they like yeah, like literally as tall
as my socks on, and they were they were honestly
kind of.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Mass They were like I remember some some of my
buddies got him and you're like, yo, those are five.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Were the cross where it's like they already expect us
to be douchebags. It's like, let's just take it up.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
And yeah, I was always a didas naturally.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Cleats from a s U Yeah, gave us actually had
the zero six ounces or what he does are the best.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
But like they they were so uncomfortable and cutting it,
cutting in them and like you feel like your foots
about it. Just go through it. But I see Jared
has his mic down because he can't really talk about cleats.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
Yeah, you you do have a funny like Bro has
the best kicks in here, Bro most expensive.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
But looking back, you do have a funny high school
story of when you were on the track team. Oh yeah,
that have I not told down here?
Speaker 5 (10:51):
No, I mean it's the second story because that's the
my track career. I just I tried out. My dad's
like a big runners.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Everything was fast except for me. Uh my dad's like
a big runner. So I was like, you know what,
like I'm not playing football, I'm not doing the steps.
I'll do you repteps shut out might ben uh and
and I was like I'll do the track team tried out.
I think like everyone makes it. It's mostly like football players.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Condition.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
We were like in six or seventh grade. We weren't
even in high school yet. Go to all the practices,
I'm like, by far the slowest guy, Like I try
out for the track stuff and they're like, you're not
doing that shit. So then I think like they decided
I'd do some long distance thing. But then the time
came for a meet and they're I mean, it's a school,
it's a public school system. We have a million buses.
And I'm just like, oh, what times the meat coach
(11:36):
and he's just like, we don't have enough space on
the bus for you. I was like, not enough space
on the bus, Like you got enough space on the
bus and he's like no, like the bus is full.
And then so that happens, and I'm like that's fucking insane.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Crazy.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
So then I just see my friends like posting videos
on the way the track meet half empty but like
they had space on the bus. I know, shout out
coach Flanders and he's like my friend's dad. I'm like,
I'm close with the guy. And then I quit the team.
And then like the next week everyone got their gear,
like y'all were saying, oh, so I never would I
have gotten I don't even know how teams work, like
what I've even gotten gear.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
They got uniforms and like I don't know what they got.
And also at our school, you don't get cut like
track and cross country, you don't even get cut.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
You just don't compete.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
So is that what I had?
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Like I because they didn't say, like you're done, he
was just like, you're not coming to the meet.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Intad have showed up the next week?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Oh yeah, I just quick because I was like, so
I can't compete. He was just running running.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
That's how you got into wrap?
Speaker 7 (12:35):
That was true?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
What the rap like film and rap music videos? Oh yeah, yeah,
I was trying to figure out the connection. Yeah. Because
then I just did journalism. That was my next choice.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
And then that's what.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Got me.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
All lacross conditioning because golf season was in the fall,
and it was amazing.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
Run into golf.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
Was your golf season? Did your golf season start before
the school started, so it was done like first week
of October?
Speaker 8 (13:03):
Uh, it would go a little longer because of like regionals, districts.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
It's like that down here too.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
We did have at least one tournament before school because
we would get our lockers early and then so many
times I got to leave school early because of matches.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Yeah, we are our golf team was like done because
in PA gets colder, like first week of October and
then it's like, oh, yeah we have a golf team.
They're already done, but like they started two or three
weeks before school. We even started obviously because of the
summer and stuff.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
We were nasty my senior year.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
What what's y'all's uh like most heartbreaking high school loss? Dude? Also, sid,
I feel like yall school probably had some drip.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Fourth Christian.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Yeah, what was your mascot?
Speaker 6 (13:47):
What were your colors?
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Red and black? And we were the Cardinals?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Oh that's yours fan.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
But I mean I didn't.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
I didn't play football when I was at Fourth Christian,
added at Keller and they were whatever.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
But your grades were bad. Physical didn't go through.
Speaker 9 (14:04):
It like they had like the they had like sickness.
We had sick like blackout uniforms like the oh, like we.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Look we look good, like yeah, but we looked good.
Speaker 9 (14:13):
We had like those under armour like they almost looked
like textas tech.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Yeah, that old template.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Yeah, they look good because we were winning. I don't
know what they look like now.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
I was in the locker room after a game for
like two hours with like three of my buddies just
crying after a game my.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Senior year Friday night. It sounds track going in his head.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Yeah, bro, it was like it was our homecoming year,
homecoming year, Yeah, home homecoming game, and it was like
it was against a team that like we should have
kind of we should have beat obviously, but it's the
fourth quarter. We're driving down. We get into like high
school field goal range, like it was gonna be like
a forty yarder, and we had like one of my
(14:53):
buddies on the soccer team was our kicker. So we
had like a soccer guy that could kick the ball
pretty good. I was the holder. Go out there, I
dropped a snap Tony Romo. Didn't even give our kicker
a chance, Like the odds of him making it were
so slim.
Speaker 8 (15:08):
But that's crazy to try and roll out and like
hit foul deep or something.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
You already know. I wait, did you did?
Speaker 7 (15:17):
I go to the same.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
As well half uh but like so, but like he didn't,
like it would have been like his longest make he's
ever made, like even in practice. So like, but I
didn't even give him a chance to like try. So
then we went into overtime and we lost in overtime,
and I'm like, this is all my fault. The reason,
the reason we're not gonna go five hundred this year
is because of me.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Like what was the kicker mad at you?
Speaker 6 (15:44):
I don't know if he was or not.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Likely still thinks about it.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
But yeah moment, No, I don't have his number. But
we went into uh went to the locker room, and
I was just down there for like me h Alec
and this other kid. We were down there for like
two or three hours, to the point where my dad
had to come down. He's like, let's go, it's time
to it's time to go with the But it was
(16:09):
that was that was my heartbreaking. I feel yeah, I was.
And then I went up and like, are.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
He supposed to schedule like a knockdown team for homecoming,
like a shitty team, so you win because it's home coming.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
It was supposed to like so like not to like
add insult to injury.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
For sure.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
It wasn't like it wasn't like a knockdown team, the
knockdown team. It was. We were the knockdown team for
other teams, but like the team that we were playing
like it was a good It was like a good
type of game?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Did you play both ways? Obviously?
Speaker 7 (16:42):
No.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
Actually, my senior year, I played safety and I played
the first game and I didn't like tackling. And then
my buddy's dad was our defensive coordinator. He's like, hey,
I'm going to take you off the defense. I'm like that,
It's completely fine. I'm all but I but I was
like a part returner kick returner offense. So did it
with the holder? Yeah? Field holder?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (17:02):
How did you get that job?
Speaker 6 (17:03):
I don't know, I just had. I just kind of
did it a couple of times. And I could also
throw in case we wanted to do Like I punted
for a couple of games too, because in case we
wanted to run a fake.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Like.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
It was just we had like thirty forty guys on
our team, and there was a point where we almost
had to forfeit a game because we only had twenty
six healthy guys on our team. Like we were. We
were that bad it was Jared could have suited up
with y'all for like Jared probably would have played.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
I feel like our team was so big in high school, went.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
There all the yeah, all the guys, all the kids
played baseball. Who we knew were athletes, like they could
have played football, but they were like, no, I'm not
trying to lose, and it's like, well, if you help
us out, maybe we won't lose. Yeah. It was like
the entire school like low key hated the football team
because we like sucked.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Did that our team sucked too?
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Did I ever tell y'all about my my most athletic
moment against for Shan Bateman in high school?
Speaker 4 (17:56):
No? I didn't tell you about that. Yeah, it's it's fake.
I mean, it's a real story, but.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
It's all average.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
It's a real story. But so like y'all, did any
of y'all do Young Life? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
So I did Young Life And there's like a pageant
at the end of the year. It's like one guy
from each grade. I don't really even know what the
point of it is, Like it's I don't know, do
you compete and it's like you do these certain things
and like the talent show portion. I don't know why
I decided. I was like I'm just gonna get like
Rashad like because I think I was a senior. So
he just graduated and he was in town like for Christmas,
and I was like, hey, can my talent just be
(18:28):
like I beat you in every sport on stage and
he's like yeah, So then I just like dunked on him.
I like I caught a ball over him, and then
I I gotta I gotta find if someone has a
video of that. I'm about to say there has to
be a because I.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
Just let this guy let me win. It was like
some of the dudes.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Some of the dudes were like actually trying talent stuff.
I'm gonna juggle like I know how to do this,
and I was just like I walked up there. I
was like, I'm gonna beat Rashade Babman in every sport,
and then I.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Just did it.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
You've had more athletic moments since then, though it Dad comebine,
you showed out.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
Yeah, that was that.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Truly was like, now, is this what sports felt like
in high school? Jared is currently peaked up? Was your
young life thing like your mister high school?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
No?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
I was that too.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
I was mister t CHS, so that you and mister
t HS were different. Yeah, young life is like a
Christian it was called it mister Christmas something. I honestly
wasn't that involved in young life, like I don't even remember.
I didn't go to all this stuff. They were just like,
will you do this? Because they needed one guy from
each grade. I guess I was the man.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Did you have like a mister yeah, mister Eastside?
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Were you? Did you compete in it?
Speaker 4 (19:42):
My sophomore year I got miss was mister sophomore We
only did like, oh so sorry. Actually senior year, I
did do it, and yeah, I took my name out
of the hat because I was just going to use it.
And that's how I did my prom post because they
were like, okay, JP. The question for everybody was if
(20:05):
you could ask one person in the world any question,
who would it be and what would you ask him?
Speaker 6 (20:09):
There we go, I'll ask Amantha Handle if she would
go to prom with me. She said no, like prompos
is a good thing. Did anybody have any cool promposes?
Speaker 8 (20:19):
That's a only question I I and we left early.
Fire dude was prom and left early just to go
to the after party. A prom itself was Jack.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
And I asked, so fun? Oh no, dude, it was fine.
We got to fix y'alls culture.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I was a sophomore guy's why.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Would too freaking invented the culture?
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I went to Raven Wood did.
Speaker 9 (20:41):
What was It's not even a promposal, It's like a homecoming.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Like asking I was homecoming too.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
This this girl, her name was Blair. Her dad was
the coach for like one of our division rivals, head coach.
But she went to Keller and like we were cool.
So like I was gonna ask her the homecoming You
at the sign ready, like I'm with my boys. They're
kind of like hiding off to the side and go
knock on her door. The door opens to like their
whole football like the rival football team, like they're having
(21:09):
a meeting.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
It was like like I just like football is in Texas.
That's even more scary.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
And and they were good, like they were better than Keller.
Speaker 7 (21:21):
They were good.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
The quarterback was there as the coach's son, like all
the school.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
It was just a bunch of Hyler Murray. But they
all opened the door and just like start laughing.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Oh my was like I thought, like.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
I thought I got stood up by my friend, Like
I thought I was getting prayed. Yeah, and it was bad.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
And then and I was like it's Blarry and they
laughed and went and shut the door. And I was
like I almost like just laughed, Yeah, yeah, so hard, like.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Off to the side.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
I was like, I just got I just got punked.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Was like surprised. What was happy?
Speaker 7 (21:54):
And yeah she said yeah, but it was like it
was still because I was like it was already ruined.
Her dad opened the door.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
I honestly think her dad opened the door the whole
like Fossil Ridge starting office.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
Laugh.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
That's gold.
Speaker 9 (22:14):
Like when you're like, I guess when you're like thirteen fourteen,
they're all like seniors, juniors.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
They're the coolest people in the world. They're not for
my school, but like they're right even worse. I'm just
like these are like, yeah, these are legends.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Autographic one the one I did, Like I was in
journalism too, and I like we had our our school
paper and for what like I was like our May
edition or April edition. It's like hey, like and I
would suit we were suiting, Like our journalism class is
super like close and like we were friends. I was like, hey,
do you we mind if I ask Canada to prom
(22:50):
on like the back of the newspaper. So they went
out like pages, Yeah, we did it, and like it
was it like went out to the entire school and
like the entire school knew that I asked Hanada prom
so it's actually kind of sick. And then another another
another time, another time. This was homecoming and it's still Hannah.
I put like it was like super late, and I
(23:12):
didn't really want to think of something crazy, so I
put like homecoming on my driveway as we were coming up,
and she saw it. No, I just spelled it right.
We saw it and she was like, is that how
you're going to ask me a homecoming? I'm like yeah,
She's like, that's bad. You gotta oh my god. So
I had to re ask her. Oh yeah. We dated
for like three or four years.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
It was awesome. This one just sounds great. She's awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Homecoming was just not a thing at our high school.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I don't even know if there was a homecoming dance.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
It was you guys have any dances at all?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
How m and I think we had like a freshman year,
my sophomore year and then I don't think. I don't
think I went, but I came with us.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, we wore fitted flat bills. Flat bills, I mean.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Like Baltimore Oriols wonder.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I had crazy long hair that swooped over but yeah,
it was fun. You know, it's always cool being the
sophomore because you see all like the slutty girls who
are like just going after seniors.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Like yeah, it's like I'm here too, but for different reasons.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
I'm an option.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Yeah, but it just wasn't like a thing for us
at all.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
No, homecoming was not the standard for us if everyone
just was too cool for it. I think it was
a generational thing where like over like the course of
fifteen years, every class was like, we don't do homecoming.
Speaker 9 (24:37):
This could be dumb question, was y'all homecoming? Like did
y'all wear like the girls were the big moms, Like
that's what they were called, Like like yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Like the decorative stuff we did that for they just
wore these like little boys would wear one on the arms.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
You don't know what I'm talking about. I gotta show
you what I'm talking about. It's called like moms and garters.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I think, do we.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
That sounds yeah?
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Yeah, figure dude, our school makes such a big deal
like literally, like for every dance we would we like
I wouldn't even prepare this much as an adult now.
We would rent a party bus. Like everyone get hammered
on this thing you ride around for like because you
rent it like six hours, ride around for like two hours,
and just like get drunk, show up to the dance. Yeah,
just embarrass yourself at homecoming or promp for like an hour.
(25:17):
And like everyone else, I thought they'd be too cool,
like they'd go to the dance, I try to look cool.
We would just be like drunk and like just jumping
around like actually like and the teachers liked it. They're
like they're actually like we hired a DJ. They're like
enjoying the party.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
And then like we would just literally.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Uh the water bottle filled with dude.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
There's this picture of me. It was like when I
was on prom court or I don't know what you
call it. Like I didn't win, but it's like the
like when you all have to stand up there and
like you have to show up at a certain time.
I'm just hammered, just drenched and sweat from riding on
this party bus. And like my parents like I don't
think they knew I drink back then. So I have
a picture of me with my family and I'm just
like my hair is like dripping on my face. I'm
just like that's when the eyes were born. Yeah, and
(25:56):
it was just and then you'd go and then we'd
rent a lake house after because there's like a lake
thirty minutes away. Just everyone would say at this house.
It was the best parties I've probably still ever been to.
My goal was to get to a yeah after after
problem was bro.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
My the after parties I had for promes. I got
yelled at for three hours after one by your girl, Yeah,
because I.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Want you're gonna yeah, yeah, you can't have all wins. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
I won prom king that night, and then I wish
I was on, Like I was so happy. My girlfriend
at the time did not win. The one picture I
have that's it started. Yeah, she was in the back.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
All proms were.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
That's how I worked.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
Yeah, yeah, like a couple.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah, a couple.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
No no, no, there was a female winner, but she
independent elections.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Yeah, and then you have to slow dance with the
other person.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
It was like one of my we left, like, let's go.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
It was one of my best friends girlfriend organize it.
Who who won it? So like it was kind of
like weird, but it was also like I was cool
with her. And then we went to the after party
and really wasn't much of an after party. There was
like ten of us who just went to my buddy's house.
I had like a pond fire girls.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
No, it was all like the dates, but it was,
but we couples, five couples.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
It was like five couples. And I was in the
car for like two hours.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
It was a movie about that field goal.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
Just getting yelled at by my girlfriend because I didn't
go up and celebrate with her. And I'm like, ha,
I won, you didn't because I had people during dude,
at lunch, like during this the week leading up to prom,
I had people come up to me like I voted
for you, but I did not vote for Hannah.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
So she was like, was she not liked?
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Not very well? Which should have been? Which should have been?
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Though, I hope you're doing good in your career.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Yeah, probably not.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Okay, did this one.
Speaker 8 (27:47):
Go? Go?
Speaker 7 (27:50):
Say it? No, we'll blep it.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
No, she still follows me. No, it's like we're still
kind of friends. I can't say it. Never mind, Wait
when you dropped the field goal thing? Were you seeing
that one to the dance with? Okay, good, I'll make
sure because I'll be here.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
I was a senior.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
We uh, I was about to say. We quickly got
through like the saddest like loss. Yeah, yeah, share the
same one.
Speaker 7 (28:16):
We share.
Speaker 8 (28:16):
We share the same one. But I'll let Jack take
the one we share. But my senior year, we came
in second in golf in state and lost the state
championship in lacrosse. Oh yeah, I went thirty and oh
in the regular season for golf and lost by four strokes.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
You the number one who may no, I was five.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Their golf team was cracked in high school. Yeah, they
were so damn good.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
But at Lacrosse, we we played m U S because
at this time it's still a club, so we're playing
private schools and m U S and McAuley were like
the notorious, like they would just trade off championships.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
There have never been a public school to win the
state championship. And we're twelve to nine with like two
and a half minutes left. All we have to do
is literally hold the ball and there's a.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Fox and I don't know if it's like after two
minutes or something, but like if you step.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Out of the box, it's like a turnover to back
that happens.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
They go down four unanswered goals and they win in
the last like five seconds and it's like no one
gave a shit about lacrosse, which is rightfully. So this
game there was a ship ton of people there and
it was a fun yea and oh dude, and one
of our buddies, we were gonna go to their house
(29:34):
like if we won, their parents like yonkin party, and
and everyone's crying like we're not doing it, and like
an hour later we're like, all right, we're gonna go still.
Speaker 8 (29:42):
And the day before so yeah, like Jack said, we
were like the public school, like repping. And the day
before we play McCauley and it's a tight game and
Jack actually had like a pivotal ass goal to get
us to the state championship.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Where you like drop they caught it.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Bro, Damn Mitch has heard.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
This, and.
Speaker 8 (30:04):
And then we uh's That next day. I swear I
was walking into that field and was like, no one
can fucking stop us. And that day, up until those
last couple of minutes, they couldn't do anything about it,
and then it was gone before you knew it.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
God, I don't want to put blame on anyone.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
He doesn't.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
No, I'm not even saying Matt Richardson, I know, I
knows English.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
I love you Ross, but we should have had Madden.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
He was a younger kid and he was sophomore, but
he was by far better and he was tiny but yeah,
yeah he was tiny.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
But Ross was a really big guy. But like he
was a senior. It was like his last game, so
I think the coach was kind of trying to be
like we had.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
A division one offered freshman goalie on our team or
sophomore whatever.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
He was young, but he was.
Speaker 8 (30:55):
Matt I swear again no disrespect, but if Mattie Ice
was in Gold, it wouldn't have even been close.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah, brutal, And then we just wart to school like
yeah across his gay still.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (31:05):
Yeah that was tough because after that game, I had
to go to my senior what was like your graduation party?
Speaker 7 (31:13):
Yeah, for those, I had to go to mine.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
After the game. After the game, Oh yeah, I definitely.
Speaker 8 (31:18):
Came to and I just remember like being in a
car like I'm not fucking going in right, And I
just remember Butch like giving me a beer and just
was like take your time.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
I just sat in the car and just was like
bawling my eyes out. Crush that beer.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
What was we got? We got second place in state
championship my junior year, and yeah it was brutal because
we were out playing the other team, but we hit
the post probably six times and they had they pretty
I don't know if they had a single shot on goal.
And with two minutes left, our center back a ball
(31:55):
gets played over top to nobody and it takes like
this weird balance and he goes down to like settle
it with his chest or something and just handballs it
in the box. With two minutes left, they score on
a PK. When they're doing the trophy ceremony, like nobody
from our team goes to grab the second place one.
So I go up there. I have a photo of
me just like I didn't solo. But dude, the worst part,
(32:18):
Like four weeks later, we're at my friend Jeff's house
and it's me, Jeff Mitchell, and Mitchell's the one that
handballed it, and we go we walk upstairs and Jeff's
dad has a rerun of the state championship game going
on in the last minutes, like trolling Mitchell, and we
all come upstairs, like, mister Brady, what do you watch it?
(32:39):
He's like oh my bad. You know, nothing turns it.
Mitchell just sees it and just walks back downstairs. Because
after the game. Once we lost the games in Columbia,
Mitchell tried to walk home from like the whole ceremonies
going on the other side of the fence water. But
we did. We won the next year, and I brought
(33:01):
the second place trophy for a pregame speech, and uh,
I was like, y'all remember this feeling from last year.
It's like, screw that feeling. And I tossed the trophy.
The whole locker room just starts like kicking it, like
never again. One Mitchell when he was a senior, but
he once stayed his sophomore year, so he does have
a ring.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
So you won't stayed twice and we lost.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
I went on varsity my freshman year. Oh got you

Speaker 7 (33:29):
I used to love going to our high school soccer game. Dude,
the crowd they were so good, great place all four
years for sure. Yeah, all the lights were off, but
on the soccer field, so you could just yeah, hit some.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
One time I did.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
I did smoke, and I I think I was fifteen,
got dropped off show up. My mom always knew if
I'd smoked weed, and I always thought I could get
away with it. And she's like, why are your eyes
so red? And I'm freaking out and I'm like, mom,
like so defensive.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
I'm like I got hit in the eye with water
bottle in my head. I'm like, I check me. And
then she's like, so, why are both of your eyes red?
Speaker 1 (34:05):
And I'm literally in my bathroom upstairs and I just
stripped fully naked, turned the shower.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
And I'm like, get out, I'm taking a shower. She
didn't say.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Anything about it, but I'm just panicking the whole night,
and so it could have just been put to bed,
nothing be said. I go down Sirs for breakfast to
go to school tomorrow, and I go I'm like, wosh,
I'm about to double down.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
I'm like, Marvey's so weird. Last night, Mom, She's like,
I know you're smoking weed.
Speaker 8 (34:30):
There was a moment Jack and I had been smoking
and I dropped him off at home or whatever, and
I get this random text, like a weird amount of
time after that's like why did I get?
Speaker 7 (34:43):
Why do I have eye drops?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
And I'm like I was getting set up by my
mom text Garrett.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Yeah, because I literally made Garrett after that me getting
the water bottle sickness I And the next time I
was like, Garret, you have to take me to Kroger.
Speaker 3 (34:59):

Speaker 1 (35:01):
I'm like I'm good and she finds the eye drops
and she's like, you're smoking weed.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
I'm like no, I'm like, I gotta hit in the
eye with a fucking water bottle.
Speaker 7 (35:10):
Yeah, Jack's that text. I was like, this, they're either.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Garrett was so smooth.
Speaker 8 (35:15):
I was like.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Yeah, that's when I started calling the way.
Speaker 7 (35:19):
The way the text came through, I was like, this
is he needs a life saving moment.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
Here was like literally your eyes were itchy.
Speaker 7 (35:26):
Your eyes.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
It was like, thank god, Dad tell you about that
thing when I was high in class and I got
that scholarship.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Oh yeah, this is that is funny. This is like
something in my I don't even know if I want
to say on here, but I think I might have
told my parents. But either way they know I've smoked
weed before.
Speaker 7 (35:44):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
We we would just hit like Dad pins and I
didn't know him that often in high school, but we
like had just hit one, which.
Speaker 4 (35:50):
Is just like so high, and I'm not good with
weed at all. I don't do weed at all anymore.
I'm they all know I'm so bad with weed.
Speaker 7 (35:58):
You should do weed again.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
I should try not. I should because I had the
worst experiences. But I did it in class or I
was hiding class. I don't even remember where we hit it.
And then I'm sitting there and I guess like i'd
applied for a scholarship recently, like I wasn't thinking about that.
Like our door on the classroom has like glass around
it where you can see the hallway and you just
see like principal assistant, principal counselor like like maybe like
(36:22):
a student eight or something is like recording either on
a phone or like a camera, and we're.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
All just like what the hell? And me and my
friends are bugging like what is going on? They come
in they're like Jared Beamon.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
I was like what is going and they're like, you
won the whatever scholarship and I was like, uh huh,
like yeah, and then like we're all smiling and taking pictures.
I'm just then I forgot who I've told this to.
Then they're like, now we got to pull you from class.
Then they bring me, they bring me to the guidance
office and they're like, for some reason I have I
(36:54):
don't remember the details of this because this doesn't make sense,
but you have to like fill out this essay thing
as like the final thing. I don't know why you
already want it. And I literally just refused to do it.
Like I was sitting in there with them, I'm like,
I can't do it, and they're all sitting around. He's
like literally just right like YadA YadA YadA, like this
is for like a sponsored thing.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
Princess, we know you smoked weed.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
Yeah, And then I just didn't And then I sat
there for ten minutes and I can't do it. I'm sorry,
and they're like this is how much money? It wasn'tnything crazy?
And I just left that room went to my dad's
class room and he's like, oh, congrats. I was like, now,
fuck that scholarship.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
I didn't win it. He's like, what are you talking about?
And I just went to sleep in his office.
Speaker 6 (37:28):
High Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
I just like laid down his office and then he
had to have known what was going on.
Speaker 7 (37:32):
I had a tough high at school moment.
Speaker 8 (37:34):
Too.
Speaker 6 (37:34):
That was my only one crazy to go to school high.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
Well, I was already the fun.
Speaker 4 (37:40):
I was so scared shit like that happens.
Speaker 5 (37:44):
It's fun when you're sitting in class and you're like
what the hell and then like that's the worst thing
to happen.
Speaker 8 (37:49):
Just everyone comes in in the school parking lot for
the whole class. And it was not even weren't even
smoking weed.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
It was like K two like here guys here geeked
out on Spring Day. Bro almost lost them for real.
Speaker 7 (38:05):
I just remember, I don't think I could have. It
was only up from there.
Speaker 8 (38:11):
But let it go to the parking lot, getting our
friends Epic Avalanche and hot Boxes car, and then I
get outside, I'm like, dude, I feel insane and.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
I like synthetic you get from a gas Yeah.
Speaker 8 (38:27):
Yeah, it's not designed to sit on the ground for
a fifteen year old boy. Because I'm like everything's starting
to like move really hard. And so I sit on
the park on the concrete and lean up against the
car and behind our high school Granny White Park, and
the trees are just like violently like moving back and forth.
Speaker 7 (38:48):
And the guy I'm with, like.
Speaker 8 (38:52):
Probably probably was the guy was with was like weirdly,
like he'd be talking to me, but like he'd be
like right here, and then he'd be like over there,
like dude bouncing around, and I just was like, holy shit,
like what is happening? I thought I was like in
this forever and it had been like twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Wait, but you gotta tell when you got to go
back in the school.
Speaker 8 (39:11):
I had to go back in and the class period
had ended and then Spring Day started, so Spring Day
like the second half of school.
Speaker 7 (39:18):
It was just like free for all.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Yeah, roam around campus.
Speaker 8 (39:22):
And I had told my teacher. I was like, I
gotta go to the bathroom. She's like, dude, like it's
the last pay before Spring Day, can't you like hold it?
Speaker 7 (39:30):
I was like no, like I gotta go now. That's
how that was like my out of the classroom.
Speaker 8 (39:35):
But I had to go back and I'm still just
like faded as fuck, and she and I are the
only people in the hallway and I'm like nearing her
classroom and she was like, how're the bathroom going. I
was just like, Wendy, I think my shit's in there,
Like I gotta get out of here. It was terrifying
walking back in there, everyone's outside. I'm the only student
(39:55):
in the building here. Literally felt like twenty one jumps
when like.
Speaker 7 (40:02):
Come down to him. I was just like.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
Sol in the school. It's hilarious, bro, It's.
Speaker 8 (40:08):
So quiet, and I knew where all my friends were.
Half of them ditched and the other half we like
outside playing soccer like.
Speaker 7 (40:16):
So it felt so.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Yeah, she was a chiller though for sure could have
been way worse people to run into and that whole
way like Dan Winfrey could have been.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
He was the guidance counselor and football coach.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
Was he head football coach?
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yeah, and he he did the same position every day
during like class periods. He just stood like this and
he wouldn't say anything and he just knuck you like
that's it. And honestly sucked for Austin. I mean, just
to have your dad we in my class alone, the principal,
vice principal, guidance counselor, football coach, all had kids in
(40:58):
my grade.
Speaker 6 (41:01):
Sucks for them.
Speaker 5 (41:02):
Yeah, my dad made it was so like fun, just
an out like people just gkip classic, what do you
teach marketing?
Speaker 4 (41:10):
He just told stories marketing, y'all have marketing? Yeah, it's
like we had pathways.

when I went to my high school te c c
t a E.
Speaker 6 (41:21):
Yeah, c T A E.
Speaker 4 (41:22):

career pathway.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
Those cool classes. It was like home ch and I
chose under it. Yeah, like we just like what funk
around and like cook horrible. That was one of them.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Now you'd have definitely done media for sure. Yeah, because
today media all four years. My senior year, I was
like an intern, so I got paid to do all
day after school shoots.
Speaker 4 (41:42):
They Yeah, that's how it should be.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
My last three periods were just in media, and then
I had dual enrollment, so like Monday, Wednesday, Friday, that
first period English, Tuesday, Thursday, No, first period goes straight
in to p E two, second period, fifth period trial academics,
and then six, seventh and eighth were all media.
Speaker 4 (42:03):
Almost exactly what I.
Speaker 7 (42:04):
Say, smoking fun we had, Uh, we didn't have two.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
My senior year. I just did like college and Pey
County schools and some did me dirty, got me behind.
Speaker 6 (42:17):
My school kind of sucked, dude.
Speaker 5 (42:18):
You One of the c c t a E classes
is like early childhood development. It's like learning, like I
guess if you want to work in the medical field
with kids specifically, it's all about like babies. And when
I went back to my high school to speak to classes,
they like put me on the schedule to talk to
one of those classes. I don't know why, Like it
was mostly marketing classes and media classes, and I go
into one, I'm like all right, Like I'm like who,
(42:39):
like who in here is interested like a media and
like no one raises their hand. I'm like, what classes
this in the early childhood development?
Speaker 4 (42:44):
Like why the fun? Like the little fake baby and
that whole I didn't take the class, but yeah, you
had like carried.
Speaker 7 (42:50):
Around and sucked.
Speaker 6 (42:51):
Would you guys have periods? Did you guys have blocks?
Speaker 4 (42:53):
We actually we changed you had both.
Speaker 9 (42:56):
Yeah, we did, like block schedule. Would you like two
days during the week. I like block schedule more.
Speaker 4 (43:02):
Honestly, don't even know four classes periods or fifty?
Speaker 7 (43:07):
This period is the quick.
Speaker 6 (43:07):
One, Yeah, I like that better for four classes a day.
And then like we had like a flex period. So
it's like you had English Social studies and then like
something else. But every class was like an hour and
a half long. And flex period was like forty five minutes.
Speaker 3 (43:23):
And then flip like the next day you'd have your.
Speaker 6 (43:26):
Yeah so flex yeah yeah. So it was like that
and then like flex period, whenever you had flex lost,
the day of the week would change. The day of
the week would change. So like it's like flex period two.
So you go back to your second block and then
just do that. It was like it sounds period now,
but like you were just in the same class.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
I just don't want to be in class for two
hours in high school.
Speaker 7 (43:47):
Dude.
Speaker 4 (43:47):
We switched half through my high school career. Class Yeah,
chill last time.
Speaker 8 (43:53):
It's like the who was the creative journalism teacher? He
was also like a football coach or at least on staff.
I can't remember his name, super chiller. I cannot think
of his name. It's gonna piss me off. But we
basically just watched movies all day.
Speaker 4 (44:09):
Do My dad halfway through the block would just turn
Shark Tank on. We watched all right, here's your marketing
for today, Kevin O'Leary.
Speaker 7 (44:21):
Jack and I saw one of the teachers at our
high school at Ponder every.
Speaker 5 (44:25):
Year, and that was that's hilarious as fire seeing a
high school teacher in the wild while you're in high school.
Speaker 8 (44:32):
So much to tell the Mike Bean and story brou.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
My first concert went to his base nector definitely base
actor like heavy.
Speaker 4 (44:42):

like they were doing a tour because so many of
my friends.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
I was fifteen.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
It's a place called Limelight th Rest in Piece of Limelight.
It's right next to the Titan Stadium outdoor concert. Back then,
the IDs you could cut out a number from the
phone book and then it match perfectly with the font
color of your ID, so like as long as they
didn't actually pull it out, you could pass. So like
it was eighteen of concert, I looked like fucking eighteen
when I was like twenty four. So like the math fifteen,
(45:10):
they're like, who are you? I get in, I'm having
fun and I run into my head coach. That's like
my lacrosse coach, and like the next day I'm like,
go to practice. But at the thing, it's like one
of those stairdowns, kind of like Garrett his English teacher
in the hallway and where I'm like I'm fucked, and
then in his head I'm not realizing He's like I'm fucked. Yeah,
and then he comes up to me and he's like
(45:31):
we're not gonna talk about this, right, And I was
like nope, And then I'm like damn, I kind of
have him corner.
Speaker 3 (45:37):
