"Every guy during a bro hangout is secretly setting something up w a girl for later" We look back at the absolute glory of hanging out at lake houses in June and the feeling of dropping everything to go to a catholic school festival (not a religious pod). We finally face the hard truth about Broncos Peyton Manning and why he hates Indy. Plus we remember the most savage high school players we ever watched, draft the best months of the year during Mel's Best Available, play AFC vs NFC, talk about March Madness during spring break😍 and look back at how cold McDonald's All-American games used to be. Do we talk about Tyler Hansborough? No. Do we talk about Greg Paulus? No. Is Noel Devine a fake name? Ye

"Nobody has gone from constantly having a dip in their mouth to being terrified to dip faster than Gerbach." Imagine the absolute heartbreak of watching your high school middle linebacker friend get a girlfriend and immediately trade his cut-off shirts and Grizzly Wintergreen for an Abercrombie V-neck. We look back at the glory days of Oklahoma Sooners shiny helmets and settle the debate on why the Florida Gators are strictly an AFC college football team. Plus, we draft the all-time greatest smells, from fresh tennis balls and AutoZone to the sheer danger of taking a whiff of arts and crafts rubber cement.

Sneaking into the old school NFL Combine at the RCA Dome was basically an underground drug deal back in the day. Going through puberty with sweaty armpits and swollen nipples is an absolute nightmare that nobody ever warns you about. We also hit the clubhouse emails to break down the dead giveaways that a sports fan is old and why adult beer Olympics always end up being a total dumpster fire of girls crying and people puking in the yard.

We then welcome the Clubhouse to talk about the most electric mid-2000s NBA All-Star nostalgia, crushing sports heartbreaks like the Steve Bartman game, and debate if Matt Leinart, Cam Newton, or Tom Brady would be the ultimate college dorm roommate. We finish with a trip down memory lane ranking the best vintage Nike and Air Jordan commercials.

We then hit the Clubhouse to debate the insane pregame stress of girls getting ready in a dorm room, the shocking reality of the high school "weed kid" graduating from Harvard, and the terrifying armpit-sweating anxiety of walking across the bleachers at a varsity basketball game. We finish with a breakdown of the most electric Jon Gruden miked-up moments and drop the ultimate survival guide for dodging day-one hangovers at three-day bachelor parties.

We talk about the absolute cabin fever of being trapped inside during a blizzard and look back at the elite nostalgia of having a tiny kitchen TV. Then we hit the clubhouse emails to talk about the golden era of getting concussed playing basement Slam Ball and why wearing jeans to a college class is a total dumpster fire move. We finish off by building the ultimate coaching staff to take to Twin Peaks and breaking down why Cam Newton at Auburn was the craziest thing to ever happen in college football.

"Hi pretty lady". Imagine saying that to Brock Purdy's wife the first time you meet her just to stay in character. We just survived a 37-minute flight to Sedona that turned into a three and a half hour manifest situation ending in Yuma right on the border. At least we had sour gummy worms and time to pitch a billion-dollar idea for official NFL themed airlines. If you do not think a Steelers plane with Terrible Towels and Franco Harris boarding groups would sell out instantly, you are out of your mind.
