"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. 📬 *SUPPORT THE SHOW*Hit us up on the email line: [email protected]🎧 *Listen to the full pod*https://open.spotify.com/show/0DCF4F4r78p0eXiD3fyh2Lhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/these-guys/id1649757408🍻 *Follow us on Instagram*These Guys! https://www.instagram.com/theseguyslolBenedict Polizzi https://www.instagram.com/benedictpolizziJoey Mulinaro https://www.instagram.com/joeymulinaro🧢 *50% OFF ALL MERCH with code BALD at checkout*https://www.benedictmerch.com00:01:13 Discussion about calling Soulja Boy and rappers putting phone numbers in songs00:03:05 Hearing about running a normal guy combine to catch a loose dog00:04:36 Conversations about doing ladder drills and foot fires00:06:43 Remembering the linebacker name Elvis Grbac00:07:30 The trauma of being the high school acne kid and taking Accutane00:10:34 The absolute heartbreak of Gerbach dating a girl and changing his vibe00:14:13 Listening to memories of driving a rusty Ford Taurus00:15:24 Getting number one buzzcuts at Supercuts00:19:10 Realizing Gerbach is quitting dip for his new girlfriend00:26:55 Hearing about the shiny Oklahoma Sooners helmets and long numbers00:29:00 The glory of watching Oklahoma play in the Cotton Bowl00:29:42 Breaking down college football conference vibes00:30:52 Deciding why the Florida Gators are strictly an AFC team00:35:07 Drafting Mel's best available smells00:36:50 Making a gas station run for gummy worms00:39:10 The pure magic of opening a fresh can of tennis balls00:41:07 Remembering the 4:00 AM spring break departure smell00:44:38 Listening to memories of walking into AutoZone and hitting the plastic keyboard00:47:47 The underrated glory of pushing an orange cart around Home Depot00:52:24 Remembering the absolute heat of fresh blacktop parking lots00:56:40 Smelling fresh Play-Doh and subway bread01:00:38 The sheer danger of taking a whiff of rubber cement as a kid01:02:45 Falling to jersey death in moccasins01:05:22 Reading emails about nostalgia for Big East tournament hoops01:07:24 Hearing about dads on a BlackBerry with a trackball01:09:28 Discussing nostalgic games and Brett Favre on Monday Night Football01:12:13 Breaking down the athlete name bracket with Dexter McCluster01:16:48 Deciding between Euchre, pickup hoops, and senior skip day on a spring night
