[Aaron]

Welcome back to Macrodosing. It is Tuesday. It's March 17th. Happy St. Patrick's Day. Happy St. Patty's Day. Everyone celebrated this weekend. So I feel like it's over. Like the holiday feels like it's a post holiday.

[Big T]

I never know when St. Patrick's Day is because every year they're like, well, Saturday is when you can't go downtown because people are shoulder to shoulder with people drinking. Then I found out it's actually Tuesday. Madeline was telling me at Miami of Ohio, there's something on Thursday. So it's St. Patrick's week, I think,

[Aaron]

I think month, the entire month.

[Rico Bosco]

So yeah, when. When you had a little bit of money in your pocket and you're single and no roommates, Christmas Time is a good time. You could scout out, like, Christmas parties. Somebody's like, come to this one, come to that one. There's this kind of crawl. Christmas can go for a couple of months, and it's a good time. A lot of people are happy. Whatever. St. Patrick's Day, people spread them out. Like, at least in New York, you could do the Rockaway one. One day, you could do Staten Island. Another day, you could do Bay Ridge. Weeks after same, you do the actual St. Patty's Day. It's close. If you really want to, like, scout it out in the areas, you get about a month out of St. Patty's a month.

[Aaron]

I feel.

[Rico Bosco]

I'm serious.

[Aaron]

In the northeast, I feel like that's. That's probably at least what.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, yeah. Northeast, for sure.

[Aaron]

Yeah. So, yeah, we. We died. The river green this weekend. The whole downtown gets jammed up.

[Big T]

Have you gone to that?

[Aaron]

I did, yeah. I was on the boat one year where they died.

[Big T]

Oh, that's right. Yeah, I went once. I'd never go again.

[Aaron]

Yeah, it's fun. It was a fun thing to do one time.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

And then I. I've reached a point where I just don't like crowds that much anymore.

[Big T]

Oh, it's awful.

[Aaron]

Crowds kind of freak me out sometimes. And that's a very crowded, very drunk place. But, yeah, we're back. It is St. Patrick's Day, so I don't think anyone's really celebrating on this Tuesday. It's like you went out on Saturday, you had your soda. Maybe you'll have your. Your soda bread and your cabbage and your. Your corned beef today.

[Rico Bosco]

Corned beef sandwich slaps.

[Aaron]

It is good. That is one thing that I wish, like with Thanksgiving and stuffing with corned beef and cabbage. That's something that we should eat more of year round.

[Ella]

Pft. You can have corned beef anytime you want.

[Aaron]

I can? Yeah.

[Ella]

There's a good corned beef place here.

[Aaron]

You'll have to tell me that. So I'll. I will check it out. But yeah, we're back. And that voice that you heard, that is Rico Bosco. Rico's joining us on Macrodosing today because there's a lot in the news. It's. It's bracket week. The tournament's here. Rico, no. You got a lot of emotions that you're going through right now. It's trying time of year. You're excited, but you're also a little bit nervous. I think you got a lot of different fingers and a lot of different pies with all these coaches. And then Your one A NATO, it's just had a little stumble going into the tournament here. Alabama guard Aiden Holloway arrested after authorities allegedly found over a pound of marijuana at his residence. And I think Alabama is your number one, right?

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

So he's getting charged with first degree possession of marijuana, class C felony, and then also failure to affix a tax stamp, which is a charge that they put on top of possession of illegal drugs. They're like, well, you also didn't have a tax stamp on these drugs that you're selling.

[Rico Bosco]

Weird to me. I'm not a drug guy. But that seems very weird that they could nail you for.

[Aaron]

I think it's so that they can. They can charge you with something else is. Is what it is. So I. I'm guessing they're saying if you're selling illegal drugs, you're guilty of selling illegal drugs. But also, since you're selling something, you should owe the state money that you're not paying.

[Big T]

Didn't pay tax. It's a. It's a parlay of charges.

[Aaron]

Yeah, it's kind of crazy. Kind of. Kind of a crazy charge. But Alabama has been known to kind of overlook some of these things sometimes when it comes to their basketball teams. So is it. You think he's going to play?

[Rico Bosco]

I would say no. I'm dialed in. The phone's blowing up with the. Oh, yeah, the guys on the scene down there.

[Aaron]

Most powerful phone on the Midwest.

[Rico Bosco]

At least I. Having been through what you were or what they were a couple years ago, obviously a way different situation. But, like, how could you want to deal with that? Yeah, you know, the. The tweets and the jokes and people pointing the finger and whatever. Now what I will say is, well, that's.

[Aaron]

You're talking about, you know, right now. I don't think that you're talking about,

[Rico Bosco]

like, I'm saying the program in general. And everyone's gonna try and point the finger in. I wrote a blog about it, too. Everyone's gonna try and point the finger. Oto, you can only control the players. You try to lead by example, send a good message.

[Big T]

Question.

[Rico Bosco]

Help someone's life. You can only spend so much time with them on the court. Once they do, they're grown men. They could go do what they want. If he was playing too many video games, if he's got bad habits like this, if you're doing whatever, like, after a while, he's not going to know about it.

[Big T]

Now, that is like.

[Aaron]

So that's.

[Big T]

And that's fair enough. The example that NATO is Setting. Do you think when he continued to play a guy who may have aided in a murder, he was there. Do you think that was a good example to set?

[Rico Bosco]

Jay Billis went on the record and said that the. You're. Everyone's entitled to how the judicial system played out the court. The law said he could play was. He was cleared of whatever he could play at that time. With this, you got to kind of figure it out. We'll see how it goes. So.

[Big T]

Okay, you know what, you know what the punishment's going to be? Pft.

[Aaron]

First half.

[Big T]

No, it's going to be like when. Who was the Oklahoma State running back who had the. Was it a dui?

[Aaron]

Oh, yeah. And Mike Gundy was like, he's like his punishment.

[Big T]

I'm going to give him the ball 50 times.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Big T]

He's never going to quit running. Aiden Holloway's getting 28 shots on Friday. That's his punishment.

[Aaron]

Yeah. He's not coming out of the game at all. Don't even think about putting your hand up.

[Big T]

He's not going to be. He's not going to be able to drink water. He's going to have to just keep running during. During the timeouts.

[Rico Bosco]

But like, if he. And again, it's. It's vastly different. I don't want to put my foot in my mouth, but if a civ. If it happened to a civilian, you pay the fine, you pay the bail, you get out, you wait your day in court on Monday. He could be going to work.

[Aran]

You can go to work.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

Right.

[Aaron]

Yeah. I mean, I guess. Unless your work has like a code of conduct.

[Rico Bosco]

Right? Yeah, exactly.

[Aaron]

I don't know if Alabama does. They probably don't, actually.

[Big T]

I wouldn't imagine so.

[Aaron]

Yeah, you do have judges that.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, that's where.

[Aaron]

I mean, judges in Alabama. It is.

[Rico Bosco]

It is remarkable how much a team that it. It seemed like nobody cared about forever is. Is. Has been in the news since I decided that's my guy.

[Aaron]

Wait, do you think that it's because of you?

[Aran]

No. I mean.

[Rico Bosco]

Well, I don't know. I guess. I don't know. Maybe a little bit.

[Aaron]

Maybe.

[Rico Bosco]

Maybe.

[Aaron]

Are you. Are you leading by a bad example?

[Rico Bosco]

I'm the bad example, I guess. Yeah. I don't know.

[Aaron]

I mean, it's a pound of marijuana. That's not that much. That's not that much. Marijuana is basically legal anyways.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, it's legal in a lot of places. I've never been a marijuana guy. I don't like anything slowing me down or speeding me up. Just Not a drug guy.

[Aaron]

You could maybe use marijuana. I've heard that it might not be the worst thing in the world. Not and not a lot. Not to turn you into a. A doper. I know you're afraid of that. Not to turn you into a guy that's just like lazy. Lose all the motivation. Just to like take the edge off.

[Big T]

My parents maybe tell me that because

[Rico Bosco]

I've tried a couple of different hippos and they haven't really worked.

[Aaron]

Yeah, yeah. So like, what about just like a small little edible? You don't have to smoke it if you don't want to smoke.

[Aran]

Yeah, I don't start him off with the edibles.

[Aaron]

No, but like a small, A small one.

[Big T]

A small.

[Aran]

Ah, bruh. Just smoke something first.

[Big T]

Why is. Because I hear everyone say that. Why is edible more potent than smoking weed?

[Aran]

I think it's because it's. Unless you do it like from like a company that makes them, maybe that's probably better. But like growing up, taking edibles, you. You couldn't really tell where the mo. The majority of the THC was going to be concentrated. So if you make a whole pan of brownies, not all brownies are equal. You know what I mean? So you can mix it up as much but like it could concentrate in different ways. And so like you can get a corner where it's cracking. You can get a corner. It's like there's a little bit in there and you'd be all right. So you thinking one brownie is okay, then you take another brownie the next day and you zoot it.

[Big T]

And so it's just okay. But if you got them from like a pre made thing where you know how much is in it, it should theoretically be.

[Aran]

Theoretically, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

That happened to a friend of mine who owned a casino and they. He wasn't happy with the amount of blueberries in his muffins. So he made the chef Aryan put equal amount of blueberries in every muffin.

[Aran]

Yeah, not. This is a non drug muffin.

[Rico Bosco]

This is just a regular, regular.

[Big T]

Mom.

[Rico Bosco]

I'm just saying how you said the weeds distributed. Distributed the wrong way. He had breakfast with a friend of his. Blueberry muffins and the partners.

[Aaron]

Blueberry.

[Rico Bosco]

The other guy's blueberry muffins. He had too many in his. And he had none in his. So he walked them both back to the kitchen and said from now on, equal blueberries in every muffin.

[Big T]

Blueberry muffin slept on.

[Aaron]

Oh, it's so good.

[Big T]

And you don't see them all that often. I feel like there should be more blueberry.

[Rico Bosco]

I'm only. It's really a chocolate chip muffin guy.

[Big T]

I mean, great as well, but chocolate chip muffin.

[Aran]

I don't know if I've ever seen one of those.

[Rico Bosco]

Are you.

[Big T]

Oh, yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

Nuts, dude.

[Aran]

Chocolate chip muffin. That's a lot of. That's a lot of sugar.

[Big T]

You've never seen the.

[Grady]

I'm not.

[Big T]

A little bites, like. Like for your kids. You ever gotten the little bites? They have the blueberry and the chocolate chip.

[Rico Bosco]

Oh, great story about those. You want to. We hosted Easter one year with my wife and got the brunch. I had to get up at 6:00 in the morning, go out and get the brute bread and the mozzarella. Everyone. The lines out the door. Like, yeah, you got to get. Nah, I don't get to. Whatever. But I don't. But you got to get everything. So I was like, oh, we should add on. Or she's like, giving me muffins. Like, yeah, I was thinking chocolate chip muffins. I took a bowl. Those little. I took a bowl and opened four or five packs of the little bites.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

And poured them in a bowl as a serving thing. You would have thought I was serving, like, dog sandwiches. She was.

[Big T]

No, dude, those are now.

[Rico Bosco]

No, no. But it's just the optics of at a brunch, like, reaching in, like, I would love that. You know what I mean?

[Big T]

That's what it was.

[Rico Bosco]

That was. She was. Yeah, that's what I said. I said, these. Put them. Let me put them out. I bet you they go first. She was like, no, we're not doing that. We're not doing that.

[Aaron]

We're not doing that.

[Rico Bosco]

Go get real muffins.

[Aran]

Like, all right.

[Aaron]

Whatever.

[Rico Bosco]

The optics of the.

[Big T]

I would have been like, this is great.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. Who doesn't want those?

[Aaron]

But.

[Rico Bosco]

But confettis are unbelievable, too.

[Aaron]

If you're talking about.

[Big T]

Seen those. Never had them.

[Rico Bosco]

Birthday cakes. Unbelievable.

[Aaron]

If you're talking about the blueberry muffins, wouldn't. If you're a chef, it'd take too long to try to put the same amount of.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. My friend said he doesn't care. Do it anyway.

[Aaron]

Okay. My friend, the chef said that it would take too long, so it's not practical.

[Rico Bosco]

Right.

[Aaron]

But also, I think I know the guy that you're talking about, and he was probably not that happy at home. He probably had some issues.

[Big T]

Is this. Is this a public guy or just a guy?

[Aaron]

You both got Me and Rico both.

[Rico Bosco]

We both know he was a little weird, though. He used to sit in his office without his pants on, and then if he had a meeting, he would tell the girl, I wait a second. And he would take him out of the closet, and so they would stay ironed and put him on.

[Big T]

Is this someone I should know? Are you all doing a bit right now? No.

[Rico Bosco]

Maybe.

[Aaron]

He. He also had some guys working for him that probably shouldn't have been given, like, the keys to the kingdom. Like, some guys that you got to keep your eyes on. I have real idea.

[Big T]

I think y' all are doing a bit. I have no idea who we're talking about.

[Aaron]

Real hot heads. But, I mean, he made a lot of money for a lot of guys out in the desert, so he did.

[Rico Bosco]

Tried to blow up his car, too.

[Big T]

Sad.

[Rico Bosco]

He lived.

[Big T]

Is this a movie?

[Aaron]

It's a guy that.

[Big T]

I think it's a movie now. I think it's a movie. I'm. I don't know what it is, but I think it's a. I'll tell you what.

[Aaron]

I can't. I can't watch the. The cornfield scene in Field of Dreams anymore. After talking to this guy about some of the stories that he knows, some of the stuff he's seen.

[Big T]

Aaron, I don't know what's going on, but I know it's a movie.

[Rico Bosco]

Aaron, you've never seen Casino, the movie.

[Aaron]

Oh, you should watch it.

[Rico Bosco]

Great movie. Long, but really good.

[Aaron]

Very long. Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone.

[Aaron]

Yeah, check out. Check out Casino. We got a lot to get into today besides Alabama players getting arrested for marijuana, which, again, not that big of a deal, I don't think. Right, Rico, we're just gonna let him play?

[Rico Bosco]

I mean, it pounds a lot. We'll see. Again, I wouldn't just be. What. With what you have to deal with, I. I'd sit him. But again, if he. Like I said, he could return.

[Big T]

For how long? Just Hofstra. First game first for sure. Timeout.

[Rico Bosco]

First game for sure. And then we'll see where it goes.

[Aaron]

So.

[Rico Bosco]

But like I said, if it was a civilian and you're done, You can return to work. So as long as you pay the fine. And so we'll see how it goes, but who knows?

[Aran]

Yeah, we'll see.

[Aaron]

Yeah, we got a lot to get into. A lot to get into today.

[Big T]

Rico, stay in the whole show.

[Aaron]

Rico, how. How long would you like to stay for?

Yeah, I. I was lucky enough to meet Hansboro a couple years ago. He's really nice. We did the live show with him. I like him a lot. Chalmers played with a kid I knew in high school, Doug Eater was a star. And then I think me and Marshall Henderson would make a hell of a duo. That was back when he was, like, Internet 1.0. He was one of the first, like, gifts I remember of you. Too young for this. You remember young?

[Big T]

That was like, 2013. I was 16 years old. All right.

[Rico Bosco]

Henderson hit a huge shot and ran right to the face. And these people. I think it was Tennessee people right behind. I don't know. Either way, they're.

[Big T]

They're so florid. It was Florida. I know what you're talking about.

[Rico Bosco]

So mad at him. So he was electric.

[Big T]

I was at that SEC tournament that they won, I believe.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, I think so.

[Aaron]

By the time you listen to this, you will have heard or watched or maybe seen some clips of Big T and Rico playing against Tyler Hansboro, Mario Chalmers, Doug Dirt. Who else am I leaving out here? Marshall Henderson?

[Big T]

Yeah, there's a few.

[Aaron]

A couple others. Mark Titus on the pro side. So, yeah, who knows how long this is going to go for, but who knows? I'm lucky enough to get to coach you guys. So. Rico, just know that I wore today. I wore black for Tyler Hansborough's funeral.

[Rico Bosco]

No, we like Tyler.

[Aaron]

I've got you going up. I've got you matching up against Psycho

[Rico Bosco]

T. We like Tyler has, bro. But, yeah, it's. We'll see how it's gonna play out. It's awesome.

[Aaron]

So. So there's a lot of stuff in the news today to get into over the weekend. First of all, very, very glad to be here. I was very scared yesterday. I. I had a very scary plane ride to get back to Chicago, and it was. It was actually like, a terrifying experience on the plane. I've never had a plane ride like that before. And we weren't, like, close to any real danger, but when you're on a plane that's, like, shaking and, like, getting blown around sideways and it's making noises like it feels like you're in a real almost famous type situation. Rico, if you. If you remember, great. I still haven't Seen that yet. But, yeah, it was absolutely wild. But shout out to that pilot, got us out of Chicago, landed in Grand Rapids safely, then took a, a little car ride back over here last night. But it was, yeah, crazy, crazy experience. Where do we want to start today?

[Big T]

I think we, you gotta start with Tucker.

[Aaron]

Okay. Tucker Carlson might be in, in trouble.

[Big T]

I, you know more about this than I do. I need you to.

[Aaron]

All right, so here's what, here's the major players, it seems to me, would be Tucker Carlson, the leadership of Iran, formerly former leadership of Iran, the leadership of the CIA, President Trump, Laura Loomer, I think is involved in this somehow, too. And Tucker might have found himself in some, some big time hot water. I don't know, I don't know what to believe. But Tucker went on a show the other day and said, like, you know, I was, I've been talking to people in Russia for a long time trying to arrange interviews with Putin. And so I talk to people in foreign governments all the time. And yes, I had some contacts texting with people in Iran as well. And it seemed like he was trying to get out in front of a story. And he's like, and I just received word that I'm being investigated for some of these contacts that I had. And then a theory came out, and we're not, we're not sure about any of this, but the theory is that our CIA found out that Tucker was talking to the leadership of Iran, who maybe he was trying, he thought that he could back channel, like, peace negotiations before any airstrikes. So he's like talking to them, saying, you know, I can talk to President Trump and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then the CIA found out that he was talking to them. And then the CIA may have met with Trump to say, like, have Tucker come to the White House and tell him some bad information, knowing that he's going to be feeding that to Iran behind the scenes. Like, tell them that, you know, we're not planning on striking or something like that. And so then Tucker may have taken that to Iran, which caused their leaders to not be worried about a strike. And then we started the airstrikes and took out, like, their top 50 leaders in Iran all at once, using Tucker Carlson as a, as a pawn in this game. That's what some people are theorizing.

[Big T]

Have you seen the clip from his show the other day? Not the one where he just went on yesterday and said the CIA is trying to do all this. Whatever he said, if it ever emerges, our diplomatic efforts with Iran Were fake to lull them into false security for a sneak attack. How is that better than Pearl Harbor? It's beneath the U.S. punish those involved. It ruins all diplomacy. So he said that before yesterday.

[Aaron]

So, so Tucker's acting like he is a diplomat.

[Big T]

He seems to think he's very. Yeah. And I mean, he does talk to, you know.

[Aaron]

Right. But you have to be a diplomat.

[Big T]

Right. He's not in an official capacity.

[Aaron]

No. And if you're advocating for foreign government, you have to reg as an advocate for that foreign government. Like it's a pretty big law. So I don't know. Some people are saying that he's going to be charged with espionage.

[Big T]

Right.

[Aaron]

If I know, if I know our president, I don't think he's going to actually charge Tucker with espionage. I think they're going to work out some sort of an arrangement.

[Big T]

Yeah, I don't, I think the, the, the gotcha if all of this is true was like, look what I did.

[Aaron]

Mm.

[Big T]

Like you thought you were pulling one over on me.

[Aaron]

Well, I think it's.

[Big T]

How'd that turn out?

[Aaron]

I think it's gonna be. Trump is gonna say, well, Tucker, we've got, we've got you dead to rights. People are saying that you should just be executed right now. They said, sir, please hang Tucker Carlson the streets. I said, no, he's a good man. So, Tucker, I've saved your life. Now you owe me anything that I want.

[Big T]

But I've been seeing an interesting dichotomy of people on the right being like, like Candace Owens, who, I mean, she's a nut job. But there have been others, more reasonable people who share the same opinion as her. Like, if they come after Tucker Carlson were at the gates.

[Aaron]

So, yeah, that ties into the, the whole like, anti Semitic stuff where Candace is aligned herself with Tucker because they have, they have similar beliefs in terms of how they look at Israel. And, and I think they're saying, like, it's people like them against the establishment Republicans who are very Zionist and pro Israel. And so they look at themselves as like fighting that battle. So they're aligned on that one. So she could probably. She's also. She's come up with some wild. She doesn't need a lot to work with to come up with theories. She's shown that she's very resourceful with still.

[Big T]

Have you seen her latest stuff on Charlie Kerr?

[Aaron]

I kind of. I, I couldn't.

[Big T]

I mean, dude, it's nutty.

[Aaron]

I couldn't do it anymore. At some point I, I had to be like, Candace, I'm sure that you'll one day come back to Earth or maybe you'll just like burn yourself out and like every. You'll turn on everybody.

[Big T]

I haven't. I just see clips as I scroll. I haven't watched them. But my understanding is she is claiming he was killed by some sort of electronic charge. Not a bullet. Again, don't quote me on that because I haven't watched her 90 minute insane ramblings, but I believe that's her claim now.

[Aaron]

All right. Yeah, I don't know how that ends for. For Kansas Candace, but she is. She's been on one recently. Totally on. So I think that brings us kind of up to speed on what's going with Tucker. Have you, have you seen this area?

[Aran]

Nah, nah, I've been. I've been extremely at the loop. Where's Candace at? With the, with the lady in France.

[Aaron]

Oh, yeah. Has. Has that progressed at all?

[Big T]

I haven't seen anything recently.

[Aaron]

I don't think that she's proven anything. If I had to guess, I think still, still not unproven allegations.

[Aran]

Well, I'm at the edge of my seat.

[Aaron]

We'll see.

[Aran]

She cracks that case, man, we'll see.

[Aaron]

What else we got going on in the news today besides. Besides the Tucker espionage.

[Big T]

Well, you mentioned Israel.

[Aaron]

Yeah. Is Netanyahu alive or is he dead? I don't know.

[Big T]

I saw a video today that seems more convincing that he's alive than the one they put out the other day. But then that made me think, like, you don't need to be putting out videos of someone who's alive. If they're just like. It seems weird that sometimes the answer, just the question, is more, says more than the answer. Like, why are you putting out videos trying to prove that he's alive.

[Aaron]

Here's the thing. If Netanyahu was dead, I don't think that they would be dropping AI fake videos of him. I think they just say, like, he's like, in a secure location right now. Like, it's none of your business where he is, but he's alive.

[Big T]

How long can you hide the fact that a very prominent world leader is dead? Like, at some point you have to admit it.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

So like, what's like Iran played around for like 12 hours. They're like, no, no, no, he's not dead.

[Rico Bosco]

You think it should be like a challenge? I'm kind of in on that.

[Big T]

I mean, I just don't know how long you can do it in today's.

[Aaron]

That's.

[Rico Bosco]

It'd be a hell Of a game show. Yeah, yeah.

[Aaron]

See how long you can last.

[Rico Bosco]

Everybody's gotta hide one.

[Big T]

How long can you hide Netanyahu's body?

[Aaron]

That's a great game show.

[Ella]

Wait, I must have. Why do people think Netanyahu's dead?

[Aaron]

So some videos came out of Netanyahu over the weekend and they. He hasn't been seen at like his, his usual cabinet meetings. And so in these videos, people would like pause the frames and they would say it shows with like six fingers on one hand for like a split second or he was like grabbing a cup of coffee and picking it up and the coffee didn't spill and it looked like it should be spilling. So it's, it's people doing a lot of Internet Sleuth 3, which I usually take with a big grain of salt.

[Big T]

The one from the other day is weird.

[Aaron]

Yeah. But it's also like, have you watched. Here's the thing is like, I'm not

[Big T]

convinced it's AI, but it is weird.

[Aaron]

I haven't watched the source videos for all these, you know, like, I've just seen videos that other people have put out, okay. Saying like, I paused it on this and I don't know enough about like film compression or like digital film compression and how things can look sometimes if like somebody moves her hand really fast. And you know, it's not obviously shot at like slow motion speed, so you might have the appearance of like a blur or extra fingers at times. I don't know enough about that stuff. But anytime I see a lot of these accounts doing like, like the, the screenshot pauses and they put out their own videos, I'm like, I'm gonna wait to. I'm gonna wait till somebody more reputable takes a look at this. But it. A lot of people are saying that it is and they're putting out videos like trying to prove now that he's still alive. Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

What is the guy's name?

[Big T]

Benjamin Netanyahu. Are you familiar with his work?

[Rico Bosco]

No, I don't really do politics. But let me ask you guys a question. Would you. Would you do.

[Big T]

I'm envious of that, actually.

[Rico Bosco]

I've opted out of political content. Who do you think would. Who do you think? Who do you like better? Not a Yahoo.

[Aran]

Is that his name?

[Aaron]

Netanyahu?

[Rico Bosco]

Netanyahu, or remember Modest Yahoo.

[Aaron]

The rapper? Yeah, Modest Yahoo. King. King without a crown. The rapper, right.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, he was good. He was a one hit wonder.

[Aaron]

You ever listen to Modest Yahoo?

[Big T]

This is the first. I'm.

[Rico Bosco]

What was his hit?

[Aaron]

I think it was King Without a crown or a king with a crown.

[Big T]

Modest. Yah.

[Rico Bosco]

I think he was a Jewish rapper.

[Big T]

He was.

[Rico Bosco]

He was electric. Yeah.

[Aaron]

He was a Hasidic Jewish rapper.

[Big T]

One word. Modest Yahoo.

[Aaron]

Modest Yahoo. It's like rapid rap, reggae.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Big T]

Electric.

[Aaron]

And he has a. His best song was that King without a Crown or King with a Crown. And I think that was recorded either at Red Rocks or at Stubbs in Austin. I forget one of the two, but it's a live recording of his best performance.

[Rico Bosco]

Awesome.

[Aaron]

It's pretty good stuff.

[Big T]

You're all that I have. You're all that I need. Each and every day I pray to get to know you. Please, I want to be close to you. Yes. I'm so hungry. You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty.

[Rico Bosco]

It's a better song than I remember.

[Aaron]

Yeah, listen.

[Aran]

That's deep. That's deep, man.

[Aaron]

Just. It's. It's a catchy, catchy song. Check it out. See what else we got going on today. What do you think, Big T, by the way? You think Netanyahu is alive?

[Big T]

Dead? I think it's unlikely he's dead, but I think they're doing a lot of weird stuff.

[Aaron]

They are. And now it's gotten to the point where I think that they might just be, like, intentionally messing with us.

[Big T]

That's possible.

[Aaron]

Like Sun Tzu. Appear. Appear weak when you were strong. Like, put out videos of your guy that make it look like we're faking it, but actually he's alive.

[Big T]

Remember when we all pretended to read that?

[Aaron]

I did read some of it. I did read some of it. You ever read?

[Rico Bosco]

No.

[Aaron]

Aaron? I kind of want to get back into it.

[Aran]

I do not want to get back into it.

[Rico Bosco]

That was the book.

[Aaron]

Horrible.

[Big T]

The Art of War.

[Aran]

Oh, it's just you already really know and heard of.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, it's.

[Aran]

And to his credit, maybe he was the one that came up with most of this. I don't know. But it's just. This is, like, very obvious that you do if you. If you beefing with somebody.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. I'm not a guy who needs tips on beefing with people.

[Big T]

Yeah. He shouldn't read it. Actually, you might need to read how to Win Friends and Influence People.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. Or just like Garfield on a Sunday.

[Big T]

A little laugh.

[Rico Bosco]

Calm down.

[Big T]

Sure.

[Aran]

That's been a minute since I had a Garfield.

[Rico Bosco]

What are some of your favorite cartoons?

[Aran]

Like, growing up or just.

[Aaron]

Yeah. Overall, I think that's like, two different categories. One, like.

[Aran]

I think so.

[Aaron]

You know, like pre. Pre. 15 years old like before you're 15, then after you're 15.

[Aran]

All right, so pre 15 was a thousand percent. It was Voltron X Men, and I would say Animaniacs.

[Rico Bosco]

Animaniacs was. Was wise beyond its years. Used to make my dad laugh.

[Aran]

Yeah, it was lit.

[Rico Bosco]

Animaniacs is up there for me. Recess is up there for me. And then growing up as a very, very little kid teen, I was a huge Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles guy.

[Aran]

Oh, yeah, absolutely. Oh, and Rugrats, I was.

[Grady]

That was.

[Aran]

I was big.

[Rico Bosco]

There's dark theories on Rugrats, though.

[Big T]

What's that? That.

[Rico Bosco]

The whole thing's imaginatory.

[Big T]

Oh, I've seen that.

[Rico Bosco]

Everybody was dead.

[Big T]

Yeah. That Tommy had, like, a traumatic. Yeah, it's.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, that's not for me. Just let me watch Grandpa still have

[Big T]

a couple of laughs. Shout out. Tommy Pickles.

[Aaron]

I liked. I like Doug when I was a kid.

[Rico Bosco]

Doug was actually.

[Aaron]

I liked Rango Doug.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

The Simpsons still do.

[Aran]

Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah.

[Aaron]

Yeah, Simpsons. Doug. Great songs. And Doug Ren and Stimpy was a great one. I had a little Space Ghost era, too. You ever watch Space Ghost?

[Rico Bosco]

No, my brother did. My brother was big Comedy Central. Was that. Not Comedy Central, Cartoon Network, too.

[Aran]

South park when we was growing up, that was.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, he was a big Cartoon Network guy. Ed and Eddie liked then.

[Aaron]

Yeah. I would watch Garfield, too, or Heathcliff. Heathcliff was the one that I watch. That cat.

[Big T]

Were y' all around the time. It was a little too early where you had to declare your allegiance as a child to Disney Channel, Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network?

[Aaron]

No, it did not have to.

[Big T]

You kind of had to be one of those three.

[Aaron]

Did not have to do that for us. It was MTV or VH1.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Aaron]

Which were you?

[Big T]

Oh, I was a Disney Channel guy.

[Aaron]

Okay.

[Big T]

But I would dabble in Nickelodeon. I would never touch Cartoon Network. I would. I would watch some Drake and Josh, couple other things. But I was a Disney Channel first guy, so.

[Aran]

Disney Channel.

[Rico Bosco]

Disney Channel was my sister's thing. We had aged out as brothers, and we were very compassionate to her and would change the names of the shows. So, like, she'd watch that. So Raven. We'd be like, that's so stupid. Like, very.

[Big T]

Got it.

[Aaron]

Very.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, got him. But, yeah, it's just. Whatever. So. And then we. It always bothered. Or I guess I was dumb. I would say the Disney Channel doesn't have any commercials for any. They didn't need to show a toy. They didn't need.

[Big T]

Yeah, they only advertised their own stuff.

[Rico Bosco]

And yeah, like, all right, so as an. As a 12 year old, a 13 year old, I'm like, Disney Channel stupid. They don't have any commercials. They don't have toys. They don't have a movie. You know, like Dhoni Park, Hershey. They didn't have to do anything. And then as you get older, you realize that that's because they didn't need to rely on those advertising.

[Aaron]

Yeah, but they could have made so much money.

[Big T]

They just advertise their other.

[Rico Bosco]

Just advertising their own stuff. Like their commercials were.

[Big T]

Do they still.

[Aaron]

That I bet.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. I would imagine that they're still running their. Their own stuff.

[Aaron]

That's crazy though, for like a publicly traded company to be leaving that much revenue on the table. That's. I mean, good for them. That's pretty cool to make it like a little bit. But I guess they still dig commercials. It was just for their own stuff.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. So.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Well, Disney plus has ads, right?

[Aran]

Yeah.

[Big T]

If you don't get. I think they've changed tier.

[Aaron]

Whatever. Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

You watch the Oscars?

[Aaron]

Anybody watch the Oscars? I did not watch the Oscars. I heard. What? Okay, I know.

[Rico Bosco]

No, I mean, did you? No, I was a Selection Sunday.

[Big T]

Yeah. USA Baseball.

[Rico Bosco]

I've actually seen a couple of the movies. I don't know. There's something to the. When they're not doing the whole like, look at me and how important it. There is something a little to the pageantry. The thing. The big knock I have and I didn't really get a straight answer from Jeff D. Lowe. Comedy and horror or like mixed bag acting. I want to say mixed bag movies, not drama, can still be good. You could be really good in that. Why is that not celebrated? Now, don't get me wrong, Will Ferrell should not have been up against somebody for stepbrothers. But like, there should be a category

[Big T]

for that or make those anymore.

[Rico Bosco]

I'm just saying.

[Big T]

But.

[Rico Bosco]

Or best back in the day. Or best comedic or alternative movie. Like what. What would win Scream 7 or Bridesmaids in a year? I know. They came out in different years. I'm just saying. You know what I mean? I don't know.

[Big T]

I wish they still made those movies.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, they don't.

[Big T]

They don't.

[Aaron]

So wait, with the Oscars last night, was it that big of an upset that Chalamet did not win?

[Ella]

I don't know if it was considered an upset. I think Michael B. Jordan was pretty much the front runner towards the end of the race. I think I'm a huge Timothy Chalamet person. I saw Marty Supreme. I thought he did an amazing job. I. I don't know if people were like, holy shit, I can't believe Timothy Chalamet didn't win.

[Rico Bosco]

But what was weird is Michael B. Jordan gets nominated, right? The guy opposite him in the movie, the rival didn't get nominated.

[Aaron]

Well, I think only one can be lead actor, right? No, I don't think you can have two lead actors.

[Rico Bosco]

There were two main brothers in the movie.

[Ella]

Wait, are you with me, Rico?

[Rico Bosco]

So, like, if it's Michael B. Jordan.

[Ella]

Wait, time out.

[Rico Bosco]

Why did the other brother.

[Ella]

Rico, Are you with me?

[Rico Bosco]

What do you mean?

[Ella]

He played twins. He played both.

[Rico Bosco]

Oh, that was one guy.

[Ella]

Smoke and Stack. He, I believe, is the name of those characters.

[Aaron]

Rico's doing a great bit right now.

[Ella]

Wait.

[Rico Bosco]

Oh, should have been nominated twice. Should have been nominated twice.

[Aaron]

Damn it is an awesome.

[Rico Bosco]

Damn it.

[Aaron]

The little looks that Rico gives. He's like, I got. I got one.

[Rico Bosco]

I got.

[Aran]

I got one.

[Rico Bosco]

On the line.

[Big T]

I was reading. I was reading that Chalamet may not have won because he said nobody cares about ballet. Is that true?

[Ella]

I. I don't think that's true. I believe Oscar voting may have closed before that even that statement was said. I don't. Or it was right around it. So a lot of people had already cast their votes at that point. I mean, I don't know.

[Big T]

And he said that years ago, right?

[Ella]

No, no, he said that recently.

[Big T]

Oh, I thought I saw that it was a long time ago and just resurfaced.

[Ella]

No, he said it with. He did a panel or like a speaking thing with Matthew McConaughey and that's where he said it. No, and like, I think some. I think we have enough to worry about. I don't need to worry about Timothy Chalamet not going to the opera.

[Rico Bosco]

I think the voting for the Oscars is flawed very. Because, like, it. Some people don't.

[Ella]

You don't have to see everything.

[Rico Bosco]

You don't have to see everything. Also, if they put. If you put something third accounts on like points or some shit. Jeff D Alo knows all about it, but I wasn't wowed by Marty supreme, the movie. I thought Charlamagne was.

[Big T]

Me neither.

[Rico Bosco]

Didn't love the movie. Didn't love the twist in Sinners.

[Aaron]

Did you see Sinners Aryan?

[Aran]

No, I haven't seen it. Don't spoil it.

[Rico Bosco]

Okay. I. There's a twist, but it doesn't give anything away. I. I don't like the twist. One battle after another was. Was. Was really Good.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

This begonia that's. But that looks like weird. Aren't they covered in mud and blood?

[Big T]

So I haven't seen that. I have a friend who saw it and he described the plot to me, and I. It does not sound like a.

[Aaron]

It's a good movie. I've seen it.

[Big T]

Really?

[Aaron]

Yeah, yeah, it's good. It's good.

[Big T]

It sounded remarkably.

[Ella]

It's a.

[Big T]

The opposite of that to me.

[Ella]

It's a remake. It was a movie several decades ago as well.

[Aaron]

I don't know that.

[Ella]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

So, yeah. A CEO gets kidnapped by these people that are paranoid and have, like, a conspiracy that this company is, like, trying to take over the world and kill everybody.

[Rico Bosco]

Okay.

[Aaron]

It's good. It's got Stavi in it. Our friend Stavi.

[Rico Bosco]

Oh, I like him.

[Aaron]

He's got Jesse Plemons. Yeah, yeah. Emma Stone. She plays the. The lead.

[Rico Bosco]

Jesse Plemons is moving up this. I watched half of it, and then I had things going on. This singing movie

[Ella]

song. Sung Blue.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. Because I adore Kate Hudson.

[Ella]

She was nominated for the Oscar for that.

[Rico Bosco]

I know. And she was in the office and I couldn't. Like, I didn't want to. It was early in the morning and like, ambush. It was before her interview, but, like.

[Big T]

Oh, she was in the office and you didn't.

[Rico Bosco]

I did. If I didn't want to. Amber. They were. She still hadn't interviewed yet, so, like, you know, I don't think it's appropriate on the way out. You've already done it. Like, that's great. But, like me.

[Big T]

So where were you when she came out?

[Rico Bosco]

Recording or doing something else? Yeah, I think doing TV or whatever.

[Aaron]

Did you actually bet on her to win an Oscar at some point?

[Rico Bosco]

No, no. I have a mythical future on Julia Styles to win multiple Oscars.

[Aaron]

Oh, that's right. Yeah, that's the one.

[Rico Bosco]

That's my girl.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Aaron]

Multiple Oscars. More than one.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. They just got to write her the right thing.

[Aaron]

I've got one of those, too.

[Rico Bosco]

I love her.

[Aaron]

It's Paul. Walter Hauser to win the Oscar at some point.

[Rico Bosco]

Who's he?

[Aaron]

So he played Richard Jewel in the Richard Jewel movie.

[Rico Bosco]

I like that kid. I think he can win it.

[Aaron]

Yeah, he played. Let's see, what else would. You know?

[Big T]

Blackbird. Great show.

[Ella]

Which he was crazy good in.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's good.

[Big T]

He freaked me the f. He was also good in.

[Rico Bosco]

He had a really good bit part in Itanya.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Ella]

Yes.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Ella]

Yep.

[Aaron]

He's going to win an Oscar at some point.

[Rico Bosco]

I Think you should be able to buy stock? Buy and sell stock on.

[Big T]

You probably can on like on the prediction on actors.

[Ella]

I bet you could.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

You've skipped the biggest piece of news today. Okay, I've sent it since we've been recording. Check your email. This is last night. The CN Tower in Toronto will be lit teal for international long Covid awareness day. So it seems you are not very aware. So shame on you.

[Aaron]

I did not know that it was long Covid.

[Big T]

Yeah, yesterday the. The CN Tower was lit for long Covid awareness.

[Aaron]

Okay, please acknowledge that I did see a lot of people debating about if long Covid was a thing. Like arguing with Grok. Those are my favorite threads to open up, like somebody that's asking Grok a question, that Grok keeps disagreeing with them and they try to rephrase their question and like, just say, be like, grock. You're arguing, Samantha. They get into an argument with a robot and lose. It was a great, great one of those threads. Rico, you're a Grok guy. Are you chatting?

[Rico Bosco]

I've muted Grock.

[Aaron]

You heard Grox.

[Rico Bosco]

It's just. It's everywhere. Because it's like. And then when I started seeing the. Hey, put him in a bikini. Oh, yeah, I'm out.

[Aaron]

Wait, was that because Grok was putting you in a bikini?

[Big T]

No.

[Rico Bosco]

Is that why you're just saying in general?

[Aaron]

No.

[Rico Bosco]

Is that there's a guy here love seeing people in bikinis.

[Big T]

I don't even know who that is.

[Ella]

It could be a slew.

[Aaron]

I gotta. I gotta guess. But I don't know which way your brain's going with this.

[Big T]

Well, it's obviously someone he hates at barstool sports.

[Aaron]

Who is your number one I like seeing girls in bikinis guy?

[Big T]

I mean, guessing off the list of people Rico doesn't like. Oh, oh, oh, it's obvious. And. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know who it is.

[Rico Bosco]

I'll just say this. Yeah. It's the only hint I'll give is

[Aaron]

it is his birthday today.

[Rico Bosco]

No. You could do three things in church. Sit, stand, or blank.

[Big T]

Wait.

[Ella]

Oh,

[Aaron]

Rica, what is your. What percentage of your day is. Is thinking about people that you don't like?

[Rico Bosco]

Two or three.

[Aaron]

Two percent. Yeah. That's not sure.

[Grady]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

You think that only one minute every, like, hour and a half is spent thinking about something that you don't like

[Rico Bosco]

Most of the time just trying to think of rainbows and butterflies. It's. It's when that stuff. But like, maybe I get sidetracked.

[Aaron]

I've noticed that when I'm talking to you. Sometimes I. I can. I can see, you know, looking inside your own brain, trying to think of if anything that I'm saying is upsetting to you. Like, sometimes you. You look for stuff. You're like, I think. I think I should be upset right now.

[Rico Bosco]

No, I want to be. I want to be even.

[Aaron]

You want to be happy. I did. So, Rico, I. I did see a video or a clip. I don't know who. If this guy put this clip out of you when you were. You were sitting next to Mincy on Friday, and I saw it. I was like, this is. This is fake. Somebody's faking this. And then I was with a friend who's like, is your. Is your buddy a. A drug guy? Like, with the mouth stuff? And I said, actually, no. Rico is like the farthest person that Rico and cocaine would not.

[Big T]

I would like to. I would like to think I'm the furthest person that, you know,

[Rico Bosco]

parents of a.

[Big T]

Teach health.

[Aaron]

You like. I.

[Big T]

You drinking that coffee over there? That's caffeine.

[Rico Bosco]

I love Stella Blue, but, yeah, I get my caffeine in the. In the sodas for sure. But yeah, I saw that clip. It was just breathing exercises. I don't know, like, let it go. I don't know. I don't know.

[Aaron]

Is it like you. You were a dog that was just trying not to bite him. Like, I don't know. Sometimes my dog does that when. When he yawns.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

And like, his tongue is a little bit off to the side. He's not trying to bite it. Yeah, it'll give him, like, few of those big tea.

[Rico Bosco]

Got a little heated this weekend, did you?

[Big T]

Well, we had a visitor. Yeah, we had a visitor who was screaming out loud, rooting for Vandy. And I let it go on for quite some time before I was like, dude, shut up.

[Aaron]

Who is this visitor?

[Big T]

You know Kermit Maddox? I'm trying to do a Rico Gumble.

[Rico Bosco]

Odin.

[Aaron]

Oh, okay. Gotcha. Yeah, yeah, gotcha. Yeah, we're not saying his name.

[Big T]

No. No names.

[Rico Bosco]

You never know what the feds, man,

[Aaron]

how many different people at this company names will you not say?

[Rico Bosco]

No, I just.

[Big T]

I. I think it's probably plausible deniability.

[Aaron]

I think it's like probably almost double digits almost. Of names you won't say.

[Big T]

Rico will. Will text me sometimes talking about someone, and I'll have to send four or five. Claire, like, please just tell me who you're talking about. He'll be like, you know, the. The one who did the. The Thing. And I'm like, well, I. I don't actually know. Couldn't you please tell me?

[Rico Bosco]

It's a fun game, though. I like it. Basically, we've evolved the complete show out of it. That's what House Call is. Yeah, it's like, true.

[Aaron]

Just speaking in code.

[Rico Bosco]

People love it.

[Aaron]

Aaron, what are you up to this week?

[Aran]

I am prepping. I have a tournament I'm getting ready for.

[Aaron]

Okay.

[Aran]

Yeah. So there's this company called the Pro. I think I said this before. Maybe I did. I don't know. But it's. They have accumulated a bunch of like, ex professional athletes, like, of all sports, like football, basketball, baseball, hockey, all retired. So, like, you know, I. I real. Really good ones too. Like, but like, you have to be good at golf and like, Ray Allen's in there and they, they. There's a tournament, a golf tournament between ex athletes. And it's pretty fun. It's pretty dope. It's gonna be pretty. I think they're trying to get bought by. By like a Netflix or something like that, but it's pretty cool. That's like first class. So they. I got invited and the game's feeling well, so I'm. I'm a really, really prep for that. So I think the. It's the 28th, so I'm gonna give myself like, two weeks of like, good prep.

[Aaron]

And where is it?

[Aran]

I think it's in Mississippi this time. They have like six or seven tournaments a year. This is my first one this year.

[Aaron]

And what's. What does the winner get?

[Aran]

I think the prize money is pretty good. It's like 20. 20 racks or something like that. 20, 30 racks.

[Aaron]

Okay.

[Aran]

Yeah, something like that.

[Aaron]

Yo, good luck.

[Aran]

Yeah, I'm grinding, man. I don't think I'm gonna win. My goal is to. Because like, like those guys, like some of them baseball cats, some of these hockey cats, you know, they've been playing golf for 10, 20 years. And like, they're like either scratch or plus golfers. And so my, My goal is to just make the cut. To make the cut. That's. That's a. A lot a good goal for this tournament. Don't set my expectations too high, but I'm playing really well right now. Like, I'm golfing my ball right now. Very confident off the tee. It's going well, man.

[Big T]

Do you know any of the other guys in it?

[Aran]

I'm sure it's like a bunch of people. You know baseball?

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Aran]

Like, John Elway, I think is playing too. Who else? J.R. smith. He's in it. That's all I can think about the top of my head. I'll give you a list once I get the list.

[Aaron]

[Big T]

And I love oranges.

[Aaron]

And now back to macrozin. Did you guys watch any of the World Baseball Classic?

[Big T]

Come on.

[Aaron]

Of course. Yeah. What do you think?

[Big T]

Oh, Arian, you need to. You. We're in the championship game, and I. I think it will probably be against Venezuela. People will know as. As they're listening to this. We played the Dominican Republic last night in the semifinal. It was one of the most electric baseball atmospheres I've ever seen. We were. They're playing in Miami, so we were outnumbered like, three to one by doctor fans, but. And I guess Venezuela will probably be the same way, but it's. It's electric.

[Aaron]

And what is this?

[Big T]

This is like the. Like the Olympics of baseball, basically.

[Ella]

The World cup of baseball.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Aran]

Okay, nice. And so this is the championship.

[Big T]

Yeah. So it'll be us against either Italy or Venezuela. The Italy team is just Americans with Italian last names.

[Aran]

They do where we at with the baseball season because, you know, I had the MLB app, right? And so I'm getting all these alerts saying the brewers are playing the red side spring training. Oh, it's like scrimmage.

[Big T]

Yeah. The opening day is in two weeks

[Aran]

for spring training.

[Big T]

Or is it only. Is it only a week from, like, this Thursday?

[Aaron]

Are they gonna open? I think it's a week from this Thursday.

[Big T]

Yeah, it's Thursday, March 26, because the.

[Aaron]

The Nats are opening up against the Cubs on the road here.

[Big T]

Wow. Yeah.

[Aaron]

I'm gonna be out of town, so I'm bummed out about that.

[Ella]

But, yeah, next Thursday is when the real games start. Aryan.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. 28th or something like 26. 26.

[Aran]

Yeah. So.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

But this. The World Baseball Classic has been incredible. And there's a lot of guys that are playing that you feel so happy for them because it's their first time really playing in meaningful games, and they love it.

[Ella]

Bryce Durang has been doing really well.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Aran]

Shout out to the.

[Big T]

Shout out to.

[Aaron]

He had a bad air. Bad air last night.

[Rico Bosco]

I wish. I mean, it was selection Sunday. It was like. I haven't been able to. Championships. What? Tuesday?

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Aran]

When is the bracket? When does it start? When is this shit, papa?

[Big T]

Thursday.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. Thursday. I gotta be honest, I hate the playing games.

[Big T]

Me, too.

[Aaron]

I hate them.

[Big T]

Just wait till there's 12 of them.

[Aaron]

I know.

[Rico Bosco]

So disgusting. Yeah.

[Aaron]

Where.

[Aran]

Where is it going to be at, like, the 26th? Because I. I'm.

[Big T]

I'm g. Go.

[Aran]

I'm. I want to go to Chicago and tap that chin on these betting again.

[Rico Bosco]

Because y'.

[Aran]

All. Y' all think it's sweet over here with this betting.

[Big T]

What are you talking about, the NCAA tournament or the Brewers?

[Aran]

I was talking about the tournament.

[Big T]

It's all over.

[Rico Bosco]

But the region.

[Big T]

No, it's all over the country.

[Aran]

No, I'm talking about in the cave.

[Big T]

Oh, you want to come watch the games?

[Aran]

Yeah. You and Eric was saying I don't bet with the big dogs and, you know, because of my success rate.

[Big T]

You want to come to Chicago this week?

[Aran]

I'm gonna come tap that betting chin.

[Big T]

Come on.

[Aaron]

All right, so what?

[Aran]

Not this. I can't come this week. I'm saying that's why I was outside

[Rico Bosco]

next week for the regional, because that's actually it kind of help. I mean, there's. The PMT guys are out of town,

[Aaron]

so I'm gonna be out next week. Rico is actually the guy to talk to. Rico's in charge of all the streams. Right.

[Rico Bosco]

Though. Thursday. Friday, for sure.

[Aaron]

Wow. Yeah. So you're. You're the one that's. That's giving out the invites, Banning certain individuals, I think.

[Big T]

Right?

[Aaron]

You have that power.

[Rico Bosco]

Trying to.

[Aaron]

Trying to make it a good stream. That's all. Okay.

[Rico Bosco]

But. Yeah. Aaron, you're more than welcome, man.

[Big T]

All right.

[Aran]

Bet. Well, we'll see how to schedule.

[Aaron]

Is that an official invite?

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, for sure.

[Big T]

Love to my man Aran. You know, this Friday could be Tennessee against Meline's alma mater, Miami of Ohio.

[Aran]

We doing a little friendly wager? What we doing?

[Big T]

I don't know. They got. They have to win another game.

[Aaron]

We still owe.

[Aran]

Hold up. We still owe Maddie a fifth.

[Ella]

Yeah, I. I Won't forget.

[Aran]

I think we need to do that.

[Ella]

If Miami wins their playing game on Wednesday to have the chance to play Tennessee, I will be at Miami.

[Aran]

So has your taste changed in the three years that we haven't fulfilled this

[Aaron]

bet or you still.

[Ella]

Crown Apple is forever. Crown Apple is. Is a. An infinite. Will never give up on her.

[Big T]

Was that from the NCAA tournament? Yeah, I think it was it. Yeah.

[Ella]

I want to our bracket pool.

[Big T]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ella]

No, Crown Apple is forever. But if I. If Miami makes it to Friday, I will be at Brick street, the big bar there with Ella and Katic, two

[Big T]

of our co workers. Love that.

[Ella]

But I will make a friendly wager with anyone.

[Big T]

Yeah, we'll.

[Ella]

You can bet in the state of Ohio.

[Aaron]

Are you Borging?

[Ella]

Hell, no. No, no. I don't need to borg. We'll be at an establishment where alcohol will be provided, and I will be working, so I won't be partaking like Ella and Katic.

[Rico Bosco]

Well, I saw those. Those Chicago videos of the confiscation of the Borgs.

[Aaron]

Yeah, there's an article about them too.

[Ella]

Yeah, Borging missed me in college. I didn't have to borg.

[Rico Bosco]

I don't know how they do it warm. That grosses me out. My best friend used to do rum and Cokes. Like, piss warm.

[Aaron]

It was. I can't. Oh, I had it. So I had a rum and Coke about, I think, two months ago. I don't think I've had one since I was in college.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

And I had a rum and Coke and I was like, this is gonna be awesome. I took a sip and I was like, what the. Yeah, I used to think it was the most delicious drink in the world.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, that and ginger, too. Used to do rum and ginger.

[Aaron]

If I was 20 years old, you give me a rum and Coke, I'm like, this is some high life living right now. Like, oh, ooh la la. Yeah, look what I'm up to. Very fancy. Like, have it on the rocks. Wow. Yeah, I had a sip. I was like, this is. It's terrible.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah, it's horrible.

[Aaron]

It's awful.

[Big T]

Arian, here's what we're gonna do if next Thursday, opening day, the Milwaukee brewers play the Chicago White Sox in Milwaukee at 1:10pm the sweet 16, usually. What time does it start? We go like, seven.

[Rico Bosco]

Six.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

6:30.

[Big T]

We can. We can go to that ballgame, be back right as the games tip.

[Aran]

Opening day of the baseball season.

[Big T]

Yeah, that.

[Aran]

Already starting up again.

[Big T]

That's what we were talking.

[Aaron]

It's next week, so you could go, you could watch the Washington Nationals take on the Chicago Cubs, and then you could go watch base or basketball.

[Aran]

So as a first time baseball fan, this last year was my first year. Turnaround was too fast. Y' all felt like it was too fast.

[Big T]

We had six months, five months turn around.

[Aran]

I feel like the turnaround was fast. Am I, am I tripping?

[Aaron]

I love that.

[Big T]

I mean, it's been five months, end of October to the end of March. I mean, I mean, the NBA takes off like six weeks and they're back, go bruskies.

[Aran]

You know what I mean? But God damn, that was fast. I got locked back in. I got, you know what I'm saying? I wasn't in baseball mode. I got locked all the way back.

[Big T]

I, I, I, it snuck up on me too. I thought we had two weeks.

[Aaron]

Speaking of baseball mode, how about I gotta get your take on Mark DeRosa inviting Rob O' Neal in to give the boys a pregame speech.

[Aran]

Yeah.

[Big T]

So.

[Aaron]

So the US Baseball team, their manager brought in the guy that killed bin Laden to speak to the team before they played in the World Baseball Classic,

[Big T]

who has had some interesting media snafus since then.

[Aaron]

Well, he's, he's kind of come out and said that he lied about some stuff.

[Big T]

Well, but he's had some weird tweets. Yeah, he's had some just interesting things.

[Aaron]

I think he's definitely, you know, a lot of guys that serve and do like secret operations and like that, they've got some stuff that sticks around mentally. I think he's, he's battled some of that. And, and he's patriot.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

Recently just kind of come out and said that he lied about a bunch of this stuff. Either like to protect the people that he was with or to protect himself for the way they went about the mission. But then to have him like giving a speech to the baseball team, it's pretty wild.

[Big T]

I'll tell you why I like it because we've had some players on that team who seemingly weren't taking this as seriously as they should. And I like that we brought somebody in there that fired the boys up to be like, you're playing for the fucking United States of America. It's time to lock in. So I do like that. Yeah, I don't, I'm sure there were some other people we could have gotten, but, like, you know, that's a guy who loves America. Let's get the boys fired up.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Because I watched the Dominican Republic last night. Those fellows were fired up.

[Aaron]

They were.

[Big T]

We had to match the energy.

[Aaron]

I was saying that I've. If I was a San Diego Padres fan, I would be furious. Manny Machado sprinting to first base as hard as he could.

[Rico Bosco]

Why?

[Aaron]

Like, because I've never seen him do that.

[Big T]

Oh, I see. Yeah. No, they like, he was.

[Rico Bosco]

He would.

[Aaron]

It was a weak ground ball. He was putting his head down, hustling like running through the battle.

[Big T]

That's an eight game tournament. As opposed to 160 fundamentals from.

[Aaron]

I mean, I love seeing it from Machado. But then I was like, that's. That's literally the first time I've ever seen Manny do that.

[Big T]

I mean, that Camin Arrow home run.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

For them to take the 10 lead. I was like, oh, it's over.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Like they. It done.

[Aaron]

And then J Rod, the robbery at the wall.

[Big T]

Yep. It was. The first five innings of that game were incredible. Nobody scored after that. But still the high leverage situation.

[Aaron]

Doctor got scared. They were scared to. To advance on the base path.

[Big T]

They couldn't bring well because Judge Hose Tatis.

[Aaron]

Yeah. That. That was like message sent.

[Big T]

Yeah, it was awesome. And I think if we play Venezuela, it'll be much of the same. Now on Wake Up Barstool, a couple weeks ago, someone did ask, like, who will I be rooting for? If it's Nolan McLean, Mets pitcher facing Ronald Acuna in the championship game, which it very much could be. Ronnie's been having an awesome tournament, but. But I'm us all the way. We got to. We got to finish this. But playing Ronald in the championship game would be sick.

[Aaron]

Yep, it would be all right. Anything else? We got any voicemail questions that we want to do? Rico, you want to answer voicemail with us?

[Rico Bosco]

I'll do a voicemail and then go. I gotta look into flights. I got to figure all this out.

[Aaron]

What do you mean?

[Rico Bosco]

The next couple weeks there just a lot of travel. So yeah, there's been bugs. Like people like, can I get you on this? Can I get you on that? So you're.

[Aaron]

You're in demand.

[Grady]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

It's the price you pay to be a star.

[Big T]

That's a good place to be. A lot of people at this company, they're not trying to fly out.

[Aaron]

A lot of people want to be in the Rico B. Bosco business.

[Big T]

A lot of.

[Rico Bosco]

Lot of TMZ stuff coming up the

[Aaron]

next couple of weeks. What does that mean?

[Rico Bosco]

It's being followed around. Around and whatever.

[Aaron]

Who's following you around?

[Big T]

You and Aryan both hate that kind of thing.

[Aran]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

right, Voicemails what's up team?

[Grady]

It's Grady. I live in LA and I was just re listening to the Iraq war episode. Just with everything that's going on, you know, stumbled upon it, wanted to re listen to it and it seems like we're just always fucking fighting about oil. There's so much stuff that has to do with oil and I just how much fucking oil is there actually in the world? Like I, I can't comprehend how much oil there actually is and why we have to keep fighting about it. Like what the fuck's going on with that? Can someone tell me like actually how much oil we have in like a gallons number or whatever number? Like give me an actual tangible number, not just we're going for more oil. How much oil is there? Can we like stock up on a shit ton and just like maybe I'm just being super ignorant about this and I probably am, but how much oil is there? I don't understand. Thank you.

[Aaron]

All right, I I think that's a fair question. It's like how long, how much long are we going to keep fighting these wars for? Oil.

[Aran]

As long as we need oil, brother,

[Aaron]

gas and oil, it's a finite resource. They're not really making more of them. I think that if. If you want more oil, you gotta wait like 50 to 100 million years, right? Like stuff that's dying right now. Algae, Just bones. I think you have to wait like 50 million years for that to be oil.

[Big T]

So I'm seeing that we. There are currently 1.8 trillion barrels of proven oil reserves, which is enough to last 50 years at current consumption rates. But then I see a thing from nine years ago where someone asked the same question and it said 1.5 trillion. Okay? So it seems in the last 10 years, maybe we have even more.

[Aaron]

So they're not making new oil, but we are discovering.

[Big T]

Finding it.

[Aaron]

We're finding it. Like, who knows? Who knows?

[Big T]

So then we could just keep finding more.

[Aaron]

So are we finding oil like where all the dinosaurs used to hang out?

[Big T]

I don't know.

[Aaron]

Is that what it is? I know that there's a science to it where you have to be really good at geology and shit like that to understand even where to look and be like, oh, oil could be in this type of location.

[Big T]

Do you know what country has the most oil?

[Aaron]

Venezuela.

[Big T]

That's correct. 303 billion barrels.

[Aaron]

Let's put some of it on the line. The World Baseball Classic.

[Big T]

That could be fun.

[Aran]

What?

[Aaron]

What would we put up?

[Big T]

I don't know. What do you want? Everything.

[Aaron]

Guns.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Aaron]

I was. You want to say, like, who has the most. We have the most. We have what, like, 500 million guns?

[Big T]

It's more than people. I don't know. If it's 500, it may be closer to 4 accurate. Something like that.

[Rico Bosco]

Why do we have more guns than people?

[Aaron]

A lot of people, like, people have

[Big T]

a lot of guns.

[Aran]

Got your weekday gun mental disease. Rico. Formal disease.

[Big T]

You got one.

[Aran]

It's a disease.

[Aaron]

We could. Yeah.

[Big T]

How about between 4 and 500 million?

[Aaron]

All right, there you go. So they have what, 300 billion gallons of oil?

[Big T]

Barrels.

[Aaron]

Barrels. All right, so we'll go one for one.

[Big T]

A gun for a barrel.

[Aaron]

Yeah. 300 million guns to 300 million barrels. Who says?

[Big T]

No, wait, we're giving up all of them?

[Aaron]

I think it's got to be 300 million, 300 million.

[Big T]

Just everything. So we collapse their entire economy and.

[Aaron]

Well, the way that you're putting them, it sounds like we got to get odds where we put all of our guns up for all their oil.

[Big T]

That's what I'm saying. If we won that it would collapse their Country.

[Aaron]

Yeah, but if they. What if they won 500 million guns off us?

[Big T]

That'd be a bad deal as well.

[Aaron]

I think that you got to put something on the line.

[Big T]

It would be interesting.

[Aaron]

Think about if we won though all this.

[Big T]

Italy is going to win 8 to 6. All this is going to be pointless.

[Aaron]

I do love the Italian team. They're having fun.

[Big T]

There's just. I need the juice of a Venezuela matchup.

[Aaron]

All right, Any other voicemails? Do one more.

[Grady]

Hey, microdosing. This is Chris from Austin. Just had a quick question. Now that most of the major holidays are pretty done, I guess we're in spring break now for most people, I was wondering, what do you guys think should be a holiday? Like, make up a brand new holiday, either culturally or for an event or whatever you guys think. And what day of the month, what days of the month should we have it this whole day on? And do all schools and all workplaces get the day off as well? The easiest one for me, and I think I'll just take it off the board for you guys, is Super Bowl Monday. So the Monday after the super bowl, no school, no work. Let everybody just kind of relax, stay home, get over that. That hangover. But, yeah, what's the holiday you guys think should be invented or create your own holiday?

[Rico Bosco]

What about extending holidays?

[Aaron]

Okay, go on.

[Rico Bosco]

So, like, I don't know. For me, it's. I don't even know what you would call it, but an extra day around 4th of July, like, or make it mandatory. Like, everybody's gonna get jacked. July 3rd. If July 4th is on Saturday. But, like, also give us Monday. Like, I know businesses fluctuate. It's the summer.

[Aaron]

But if it is on a weekend, don't you get that Monday off?

[Rico Bosco]

No, you get Friday.

[Aaron]

The Friday.

[Rico Bosco]

Get the Friday. I'm saying just.

[Aran]

Yeah, I got. I got a solution. I got a solution. And y' all tell me what you feel about this. I feel like Thanksgiving and Christmas are too close together.

[Aaron]

Okay.

[Aran]

Like, let's put. Let's, let's. Let's move Thanksgiving, fourth of July. Let's. Let's consolidate those.

[Rico Bosco]

I actually got one. I'll steal this from kids. We had. My brother had a shore house with way down the thing that somebody's. Grandma Ginny had an August 4th of July party. So, like, who doesn't want an extra Fourth of July? You look at all the festivities of it. So on August 4th, they would make that the same thing. The barbecue, the coleslaw, the red, white and blue. But it Was Joe. It was Grandma Ginny's August 4th of July party.

[Big T]

I was gonna say we got nothing in August pretty much every other month.

[Rico Bosco]

August 4th of July might be a great one.

[Aaron]

Grandma Jenny.

[Rico Bosco]

Grandma Jenny's August. They made tank tops and everything. August 4th of July.

[Aaron]

Tank tied. Did you get a tank top?

[Rico Bosco]

I got tank top, yeah.

[Aaron]

Tank top is.

[Rico Bosco]

I don't know. When you think about it.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

I think August is a dead month. Like there should be more in the summer.

[Aaron]

Yeah. August has nothing. I think that there's.

[Big T]

There should probably the worst month. Right.

[Rico Bosco]

My dad always.

[Ella]

February.

[Rico Bosco]

My dad always told us.

[Big T]

Yeah, but like, like August there is. It's hot as hell.

[Ella]

Well, you have Labor Day coming up.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Yeah. But that's September.

[Rico Bosco]

Labor Day is tough now. We love college football, but Labor Day means you're going back. That's Black Tuesday is the next day. First day after summer.

[Big T]

Oh. See, for me, August 1st is back to school.

[Aaron]

It's crazy.

[Ella]

Yeah, that is crazy.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. What about August 1st for us? My dad would always teach us that's the end of summer because that's when it starts getting closer to going back then. Then whatever. He always felt like August 1st was whatever.

[Aaron]

What about election day? I think, but like not a federal, like take off work schools get out

[Big T]

and public schools get close.

[Ella]

If you're a voting school.

[Aaron]

Yeah. Not all the time, though.

[Big T]

Which I think most.

[Aran]

Voting day should be a holiday.

[Aaron]

Yeah, Voting day should be a holiday.

[Ella]

I think that would also bump or

[Aaron]

voter turnout so much if voting day was a holiday. How fast would the NFL put a

[Aran]

game on that day?

[Aaron]

The NFL would absolutely 100% do like

[Big T]

a Tuesday night Football.

[Aaron]

Tuesday night rock the vote Football. Yeah.

[Ella]

That's. That's like the start. That's the start of maxion that could get. Let's talk about Ball State or something crazy.

[Big T]

Because a lot of election night you're just staring at CNN or Fox or whatever and nothing's happening. And they're just like, we're going to go back to Allegheny county here. And they're just looking at the same numbers. A football game on the second screen.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Could be the move.

[Rico Bosco]

Usually a Mac camp. That was one of my Facebook troll statuses. I put like, hey, a lot of, you know, things in the news or something like that of changing the world. Like, I just, you know, after years of people beating the phones and the change in culture, like, I'm proud to announce Miami of Ohio was going bowling for the first time in 14 years.

[Big T]

Really did.

[Aaron]

Well, it's Pretty good. Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

People get mad now. They liked it Trigger some people.

[Aaron]

They did pretty well. Yeah. You're honestly, Rico, I've read some of your posts on Facebook and they're. They're very light hearted for the most part.

[Rico Bosco]

That's all you need. You gotta.

[Aaron]

Yeah. If you have a problem with it. Yeah, that's a. You problem. Yeah. That would be.

[Rico Bosco]

What's the most times you guys voted in a year?

[Aaron]

Well, yeah, I voted for 98.

[Rico Bosco]

I voted six times.

[Aaron]

I voted four times for Hillary in 2016.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

You know you can just go back right back in line how it works.

[Rico Bosco]

How many times you vote, Aaron?

[Aran]

My times have I voted in a day.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah. What's your record?

[Aran]

I'm confused. He's.

[Rico Bosco]

He's pretending I voted 6 in this past one.

[Aran]

No. Maybe I was reading something when y' all was. The premise of that conversation was started.

[Rico Bosco]

Well, people vote multiple times, right? At least that's what I'm hearing.

[Big T]

The Mac did play games on last election. I don't remember that.

[Rico Bosco]

They. Yeah, they play Tuesday night. Depends. As long as it's November. That's usually when they start. They're playing.

[Aaron]

That is good. I. I like the idea they'll have NFL game. Roger Goodell would do that if it was a holiday. I mean it could even be.

[Big T]

I don't even think he needs it to be a holiday.

[Rico Bosco]

You would just get people to fight though, because it's like you pack the stadium. You can't pack the. It's then it's just.

[Aaron]

It's also. What if it was a polling location too?

[Rico Bosco]

What if it's. You have to vote.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

You vote to get in. Get a free ticket to get in the game. Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

Alternative uniforms. It has one team's blue and one team's red.

[Aaron]

Blue.

[Rico Bosco]

Just it. All blue. All red.

[Big T]

What if it's just Cowboys, Cardinals Every year, blue versus red or every election

[Aaron]

year, I guess, probably.

[Rico Bosco]

What do you think?

[Aaron]

Like Chargers?

[Rico Bosco]

No, the Bills. Yeah, Bills or Bills could be red.

[Aaron]

They could be red too.

[Rico Bosco]

Like a flip flop.

[Aaron]

Bill's Texans.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Falcons.

[Rico Bosco]

You got enough blue and red teams. You can figure it out. Yeah.

[Aaron]

Texans have to be red.

[Ella]

Giants.

[Rico Bosco]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

Giants. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

[Rico Bosco]

Every once in a while you throw in like what a. The green team for the Independence. The Fighting Ross Perots. Throw them on there.

[Aaron]

That's. Now this is a good idea. You vote, you get a ticket to the game for free. For free? Yeah.

[Big T]

Oh, so. Well now the NFL's definitely not doing it for free.

[Aaron]

But then there would be a Lot of fights outside that stadium. I think because you'd have the combination of people that hated the other team and then also were voting for a different guy. It would get ugly.

[Big T]

Could be fun, though.

[Rico Bosco]

What if you did.

[Aaron]

Okay, then you did the, like, half and half stadiums like they do at the Rose Bowl.

[Big T]

That'd be electric.

[Aaron]

The libs on one side, the conservatives on the other.

[Big T]

That could be fun.

[Aaron]

What's the halftime show?

[Big T]

Dueling Kid Rock and. And literally anyone else. Kid Rock and whoever they want to put up.

[Aaron]

Yeah, I'm pretty. That'd be pretty good, I think. All right, well, hey, Roger Dell, hit me up. Let's make this. Let's make this happen. Rock the vote. Or it would be just like jack up the vote. Sorry, guys. Are you watching clip of yourself?

[Big T]

I got tagged Self scouting.

[Aaron]

What are we working on this time of year, Rico? What are we improving on?

[Rico Bosco]

You can always improve. Having good streams, identifying things that. What they're gonna call, you know. Now it's getting crunch time. Like, what are we doing coming out of a timeout? Getting numbers, making connections.

[Aaron]

What's your favorite play? Favorite new play.

[Rico Bosco]

The. The best one I've seen this year is the double elevator that Dusty ran off a box set.

[Big T]

Not jiggle.

[Rico Bosco]

Jiggle was great. I called that, though.

[Aaron]

Yeah, I sent that to my.

[Rico Bosco]

You know what's great? This is why sports is so important. I sent that to the kid I mentioned, Gerard, who ran it, and he goes, I remember that being called for me and whatever. And, oh, you tell coach you bond with these guys for life. The double elevator is this guy comes up to screen here, runs through these guys. Pinch down. He runs through this elevator. It's the decoy. And then after this guy gets screened, he moves down. And then this guy's coming back across for the elevator. Super nice.

[Big T]

So love that.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Shout out, Dusty.

[Aaron]

Shout out, Dusty. All right, well, we love you guys. We will see you guys on Thursday. Macrodosing. Check it out.

[Big T]

Goodbye.

[Rico Bosco]

Thanks, guys.

[Aaron]

Love you.
