I was a good kid. No, I. I Wasn't super into 311 until I went to go see him live one time and it was on 311 day in New Orleans and they used to do a big show there and they played for I think four hours. I was like, that was pretty cool. And so I kind of became a fan after that.

[Host]

Oh, yeah, that's right.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

[Aryan]

Every day? So Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and I think Friday. And I think the winner gets to play at halftime at a Chicago bull game.

[Host]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Are they in contention for that?

[Aryan]

I don't. I haven't seen the other team. They're from other cities. I have no clue.

[Host]

Do we know what time on Wednesday plays?

[Aryan]

It's like around Robin. So they have like, I think like six games a day. And so they play. I think it's like a running clock and they just play.

[Host]

Yeah, it'd be a good field trip. Is it close by?

[Aryan]

I don't have even checked yet. He. He. He just got on his plane so he lands shortly.

[Host]

So is he flying with his team?

[Aryan]

He had a Whole squad. They got chaperones and everything.

[Host]

Are they wearing the jumpsuits?

[Aryan]

I don't know.

[Host]

Did they? Team gear.

[Aryan]

His mom sent me a picture. She said he's off. Send pictures. Let me see. No, no. They just all looks very unorganized.

[Host]

Not wearing the letterman jacket.

[Aryan]

It was a good.

[Big T]

You should have got letterman jackets. That'd be sick.

[Host]

If you want him to lose, that would be lit.

[Aryan]

It would look good, though.

[Host]

Yeah. The Texans just got Braxton Barrios, by the way. So Alex Earl is moving to Houston, Texas.

[Aryan]

Who's Braxton Bur.

[Host]

He's a wide receiver on the Dolphins.

[Aryan]

Damn. I'm out the loop.

[Host]

Yeah. And his girlfriend is one of the most famous people in the country right now.

[Aryan]

Really?

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

Who's his girlfriend?

[Host]

Alex Earl.

[Aryan]

That's a girl name? Yep.

[Maddie]

Kids know her for sure?

[Host]

Yeah, the kids know her.

[Aryan]

Alex.

[Host]

A lot of people are wondering, what does this mean for their relationship?

[Maddie]

I'm asking that question.

[Host]

Is Alex going to want to move to Houston?

[Maddie]

She kind of had the best scenario. Him on the Dolphins because she didn't have to move. I will say one year, two million. I don't think she needs to worry that much.

[Aryan]

Oh, wow.

[Big T]

Damn.

[Aryan]

Wow.

[Host]

That $2 million is enough for women these days.

[Maddie]

She makes more than him.

[Host]

Good.

[Maddie]

Why she got to move?

[Host]

I don't know. It just seems like you're. You're poo. Pooing $2 million a year to do with money.

[Maddie]

Maybe they're. They just want to.

[Host]

He's been. Okay.

[Maddie]

He was an all pro at one point.

[Big T]

He's a. He's a return specialist.

[Host]

Okay.

[Aryan]

Yeah, That's. Yeah.

[Host]

His returner.

[Aryan]

All right.

[Big T]

They don't ask how. They ask how many.

[Host]

It sounds like Mad Dog and Mackenzie are.

[Big T]

Are haters.

[Aryan]

Little bit.

[Host]

Thumbing their nose at a man making $2 million a year.

[Maddie]

I'm trying to say they want to move. She wants to move for love, not for the money.

[Host]

Gotcha. Okay.

[Maddie]

I'm just saying, like, I don't think she needs to, like, like, plant roots in Houston.

[Host]

Okay.

[Maddie]

Maybe get an apartment.

[Aryan]

What does she do? Why do we know her?

[Maddie]

TikTok. She's just, like, massive influence. Really, really, really pretty.

[Host]

Get ready with me to move to Houston.

[Maddie]

Yeah, exactly.

[Aryan]

Jesus.

[Host]

Video is going to do numbers.

[Maddie]

Get ready. Get ready with me to. What? What did you do, Arian, to put the bomb off at.

[Aryan]

Whoa, man.

[Host]

What?

[Maddie]

When you went on the field, what was it? Oh, the Houston Texans.

[Aryan]

Oh, the little cannon. I just got off a plane to set me up.

[Host]

Get ready to blow up the stadium.

[Maddie]

Get ready with me.

[Host]

Yeah, that would be actually. That's a funny idea. Yeah.

[Aryan]

Get ready with me. Yeah.

[Host]

Get ready with me. Ala. How much money is a lot of money? This turning into one of those viral videos that you see where everyone gets mad at the girls. How much money is a lot of money?

[Big T]

Well, there's a tweet going around from the other day that was. I'm.

[Host]

No, it's not actually. It's not going around because X.com right. The everything app is.

[Big T]

Was. It was not all happening on X.

[Aryan]

This. I think you might like side be getting paid by this dude. I wish you promoting the out of it. I will.

[Host]

Is the app sucked today?

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

No, there's the nothing after.

[Aryan]

I thought it was because I was on the plane, but yeah.

[Host]

Yeah, it was down during NFL free agency, maybe the most important day of the year to get live news updates.

[Aryan]

Did you had to do like Facebook statuses or something?

[Host]

I had. I had my friend who is an NFL insider text me her scoops.

[Aryan]

Damn.

[Host]

Because she didn't have anywhere to put them out.

[Aryan]

Oh, she was just getting her.

[Host]

Well, she was putting them out on like, I think threads, Blue sky and maybe on Instagram.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

And I was like, just send them to me so that I can have them. Then I'll put them out on my thread or on my stories. And I'll give you credit.

[Aryan]

Right.

[Host]

But yeah, it's been. Yeah, I mean, it's been a tough day for that.

[Aryan]

None of those hit like. Like Twitter. It's just. I don't know what it is.

[Host]

I know. I know. So, Big T, what is the. What's the viral post?

[Big T]

I'm 90 sure. This woman was trying to get people mad, but she said like, women don't care that much about money. I would rather date a guy making 300 grand who. Who like is. Is. Is funny and loves his job and more than somebody making $5 million who is a workaholic.

[Host]

I respect the troll game.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Host]

That's very good.

[Aryan]

Yeah. I remember. I remember a while ago that there was that conversation about how much you should spend on a date and they were saying like $200 is like the.

[Big T]

Limit for minimum or the lowest.

[Host]

Minimum tour minimum.

[Aryan]

Yeah, that sounds.

[Big T]

I've heard higher than that from.

[Aryan]

Really?

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

I don't.

[Host]

What about going on a walk?

[Aryan]

That's what I know that they were. They were like on those kind of like.

[Maddie]

Like a coffee date.

[Aryan]

They were saying like, you need to spend at least $200 on this date. And it has to be, like, a.

[Host]

Good place because I'm worth it.

[Aryan]

That's what they think.

[Host]

No, I don't. I don't like the minimums.

[Maddie]

200 seems like a lot for a first date.

[Aryan]

I agree.

[Big T]

And every. Every six months or so, one of those videos goes viral where they ask women, how much should a man be making? Like, I don't know, 620. Does that sound right?

[Host]

It sounds good.

[Aryan]

It's like, 1% of the human population.

[Maddie]

She's like, that's what my dad makes that.

[Host]

I feel like that might have more to do with it. It's like, what your dad makes. You see that as being there? Just think it's a lower limit. Yeah, right.

[Maddie]

I guess. Depending on what your dad does. Also, do, like, people know how much their dad makes, right?

[Aryan]

How would you know that?

[Maddie]

Yeah, like, I don't know. I couldn't even tell you a little bit of that.

[Host]

You don't know how much your dad makes?

[Maddie]

Not even a little bit?

[Host]

No.

[Aryan]

Let's call him.

[Maddie]

Hey, dad, can you send me your W2?

[Host]

I knew how much my mom made, but that's because it was public, because she was a teacher, so that was pretty easy to figure out.

[Maddie]

Yeah. No, I have no idea. That's not my business.

[Aryan]

Yeah, I never inquired, actually. I just. I mean, we. I just knew we was broke, so I wasn't even. Yeah, it wasn't even.

[Host]

If you're a dad, do you. You'd probably lie to your kids, right, if they asked you?

[Aryan]

No, I would say it's none of your business. That's what I did. My mother. So my mother, God bless her, she. When I came out here, she didn't. She. She lives in San Antonio. And so I come out here, I said, ton of. Going to Chicago. And she goes, oh, my God, do you have warm clothes, like, Bernadette, I'm 38 years old. Yes. And it's like, 68 years.

[Big T]

Today's the best day. It's been six months.

[Host]

It's a good mom, Booth.

[Aryan]

Yeah, but when I was in college, she was just trying to be a good mother. I understand, but she asked me. I'm, like, 19, right? And I'm, like, dead broke. And I was just, like. I was just venting to her. I was like, man, I'm broke as. Like, I'm struggling. She's like, oh, how much do you have in your bank account? And I was like, that's none of your business. And she was like, what? Like, it's not your business? She's like she's like all offended and I'm like, that's. I've cut the umbilical cord. It's time for me to.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

Do it on my own. Like I figured. I was just letting you know I was broke. I don't need nothing from you.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Would she, Would she hit you up before games if you're going on a road trip? Be like, it's gonna be cold.

[Aryan]

Yeah. Like that.

[Host]

It's gonna be cold in Chicago.

[Aryan]

Yeah. One of my. One of my fond memories of my mother is before every game in little League, she would kiss me on my cheek and leave lipsticks marks on my cheek. Yeah. And so like sometimes in college I would. I would see her in the stands and I'd get a little kiss before the game. Yeah.

[Host]

Love that.

[Maddie]

That's cute.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

But it is. It's beautiful here in Chicago. I think summer. Or is summer here?

[Maddie]

Not yet.

[Host]

You don't think winter's over? It's in the 60s.

[Maddie]

We got spring.

[Aryan]

Yeah. You skip the whole season.

[Host]

Spring counts as summer.

[Big T]

I think Friday 70.

[Aryan]

Spring does not count as summer.

[Host]

Friday is going to be 70.

[Big T]

I believe so.

[Host]

You know what that means? Sundress.

We're all gonna be on cocaine. Also, no women allowed for that one.

[Maddie]

Thank God. Also, it is that time of the month where we have to check our astrology financials.

[Host]

Oh, it's not gonna be good today. Yeah, no, market's down.

[Aryan]

Damn.

[Host]

Yeah, I actually just saw a video from Be up, though. Recurring guest of the program Andrew Pompliano. Remember that guy? He came on to talk about bitcoin at one point, and he did a whole video saying, Donald Trump is intentionally tanking the stock market. But here's why that's a good thing.

[Aryan]

Let's do it, baby. And.

[Host]

Yeah, we got. Yeah, Exactly.

[Big T]

Refinance the 7 trillion of debt that's due in four months.

[Host]

You got to get the rates down. And then once the rates get down, then we.

[Aryan]

Back.

[Host]

Then we build everything back up.

[Aryan]

Don't worry about the eggs right now. Yeah, it's not important.

[Host]

Rates got you. That's. That's what we're working with right now.

[Aryan]

Love that.

[Host]

So, yeah, we'll get to. We'll do the Tates on Thursday. And do we have some voice? There's more than one date?

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

There's brothers.

[Big T]

Brother Tristan.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Maddie]

I didn't realize that till today.

[Aryan]

I need to. Okay. I can't wait to look into this one.

[Host]

It's been A lot of people talk about the Tates. They're back in the United States.

[Aryan]

Yeah, I never really gave it much. I understand there's a dude out there that says dumb every now and then. Yeah, but I just thought it was like a. You know, he's like a clickbait.

[Host]

I think there's some truth to that. He's a pimp. He's a pimp is what he is.

[Aryan]

Yeah. A coffee zilla. I watched his thing on. On him, and he was. He was scamming. He. He signed up for his. I think it was Hustlers University day, so he signed up for that. So. Yeah, I'm gonna look forward to that one.

[Host]

I kind of wanted to do that. Sign up for Hustler University. I think it was a, like, affiliate link scam.

[Aryan]

Is that over?

[Host]

I don't know. Is it going on? Did they shut that place down?

[Aryan]

Not accredited.

[Host]

Might be a little sneaky. Cinderella in March Madness. Hustler University.

[Big T]

It's still on here.

[Maddie]

It's still active.

[Aryan]

How much is it to apply?

[Host]

I'm seeing right now 49 entry fee and then only 49amonth thereafter.

[Aryan]

What does that mean? Monthly?

[Host]

Yeah, monthly.

[Aryan]

So you pay 50 bucks a month.

[Host]

Yeah, 50 bucks a month to be a hustler.

[Aryan]

The irony of calling it Hustlers University.

[Host]

So, yeah, from what I understand about Mr. Tate and his brother, they're just. They're pretty much pimps.

[Aryan]

Like, they're real pimps.

[Host]

Openly. Openly pimps.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Like these are things that he said about how to keep your hose in check. He's a lover boy pimp.

[Aryan]

Lover boy pimp.

[Host]

Yeah. I guess there's different kind of an oxymoron. It's a type of pimp where you. You like, give him a lot of sugar.

[Aryan]

Ain't supposed to let these hoes.

[Host]

But then sometimes you gotta keep them in check.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

We'll hear more straight from. From Andrew Tate and his words.

[Aryan]

You know what? I was scrolling doing my Internet thing. I think you'll appreciate this because I had no idea. You remember the movie He Got Game? Yeah. You seen He Got Game?

[Big T]

I've not. Okay, I'm familiar with.

[Aryan]

Okay. For those that have. It's a movie with Denzel Washington, Ray Allen. And I was listening to Spike Lee. He was explaining how the scene at the end. Spoiler alert. The scene at the end where he plays Ray Allen, one on one, that was originally spoke on the script. It was supposed to be 11 0. Ray Allen was supposed to win. Jesus. Shuttle was supposed to be his dad. Denzel Washington said, fuck that, I'm gonna play. And he played him. And so he played him straight up. And so it made for better, like a better scene because it was. Because Ray Allen was. He was looking over at the directors and stuff like, yo, he's. He's scoring. And they were like. So Denzel, like was really playing him. That was a real. They really played. Wow.

[Host]

Yeah, I did not know that. Yeah, it's a great movie. Great soundtrack too.

[Aryan]

Great soundtrack. And that's a great. When you watch that scene back because I went back and watched it. When you watched that scene back, knowing Ray Allen had no idea he was about to get buckets from Denzel. Yeah, that's a great scene. That's amazing.

[Big T]

You know what you would have loved last week? We had a one on one tournament to one point.

[Aryan]

Oh, I hate that.

[Big T]

Well, I mean, but that's the worst. You would have enjoyed being part of it.

[Aryan]

I don't know that I would Have.

[Host]

It's just ultimate chaos. Because if somebody makes the first shot.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Somebody off the bat.

[Aryan]

Yes. I hate what. Hey. And then they have bragging rights over y' all like that. Yep. Yeah.

[Host]

Yep. We can't talk about who won any of the games, but I'll just say there's. There's some surprises, some big surprises.

[Big T]

Yeah. It was a good tournament.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

Okay. I don't even know who won. I'm. Can't wait to look.

[Host]

It's fun. It's fun.

[Big T]

I'll tell you after.

[Host]

Big T, what else we got in the news today that might.

[Big T]

Have you seen the pole dancing NYPD detective?

[Host]

I don't. I saw the story for that.

[Big T]

But you opted out.

[Host]

I saw the twerking flight attendant.

[Big T]

Flight attendant's different.

[Aryan]

Yeah, I'm in on both.

[Big T]

The flight attendant got fired. This NYPD detective, I don't think anything's happened with her job. She's just getting roasted online for showing up in a music video. I mean, she. And she. She shows a lot.

[Aryan]

Was this before or after she was a detective?

[Big T]

After. She's been a detective for, like, I think, seven years.

[Aryan]

Is there any clause in her contract that says she can't?

[Big T]

I don't know.

[Aryan]

This.

[Big T]

I don't know.

[Aryan]

Suggestively.

[Host]

Well, really? She's just. She's acting because it's in the music video.

[Big T]

Sure.

[Host]

It's not like she's moonlighting as a dancer, and I don't know if that would be against the rules. My guess is probably. I think the NYPD has very strict protocols about the type of dancing that you're allowed to do and how corny it has to be.

[Big T]

They have a dance team.

[Host]

Yes.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Host]

Yes, they do.

[Aryan]

I forgot about that.

[Big T]

Yeah, they're still. I saw them recently. They're still doing it.

[Aryan]

I have a question for the ladies. We listen and we don't judge.

[Maddie]

Right. Obviously.

[Aryan]

Explain to me what you feel the psychology is behind a woman wanting to be in a music video, exposing herself in that manner. I'm just. I'm very curious.

[Maddie]

Brother, you're talking to the wrong two girls.

[Aryan]

I wanna hear a woman's perspective on it.

[Maddie]

Like maybe for money. Yeah, money. Well, it's like all.

[Aryan]

It's like family view.

[Maddie]

So you're saying why would a girl be naked in a music video? Is that.

[Aryan]

Well, because I try to put myself in her heels. Right. And I. I don't. And maybe. Maybe I'm just not sexy. I don't feel comfortable enough to get in front of the camera and shake my Ass.

[Maddie]

I mean, isn't it the same thing as, like, why do girls have only fans?

[Aryan]

But I feel like that that's more. You're in front of your phone, you know, you're doing it in the privacy of your home for the most part. Not.

[Maddie]

I mean, but, like, for the most part.

[Aryan]

I mean, there are some porn stuff.

[Maddie]

Going on, but it's going out to people.

[Aryan]

Yeah, but still, I feel like you still have the comfort of your own. Like, you're in front of the camera. A cameraman.

[Maddie]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

In, like, a club or, you know, a setting to where it's like. Yeah. I just wonder if y' all ever came across the thought. You have thoughts about the thought?

[Maddie]

I can't say I have. I think it honestly just depends on the person because.

[Aryan]

Sure, yeah.

[Maddie]

It's like. It's just like, you're what you like, what you like doing. I think some people get more gratification out of it than others.

[Aryan]

Like an attention thing. Is there something to that? Like, the attention factor? Like, you like.

[Maddie]

Oh, I mean, yeah, for sure. That's why a lot of people do a lot of things. Right. But, like, the naked thing never has really struck a nerve, like, in my head, it's never been like, yeah, let's. Yeah. No, I don't know. I don't know. I. I can't even bring myself to post, like, a bikini picture on Instagram, let alone, like, even think about anything of that nature. Maybe she likes the song.

[Aryan]

Do you ever think she just likes to dance there?

[Maddie]

Yeah, I think. I think money.

[Host]

Money is a big one. One also, I. I think probably some of the glamour shots that you would get out of it.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

That you can use at your disposal later.

[Maddie]

For sure.

[Host]

Be like Throwback Thursday to the time I was in a music video, and it's just like, her face on stage.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Maddie]

Maybe, like, she wants influencer status. She wants to quit the nypd.

[Host]

I just think that is the ultimate influencer, though. And what it is being a police officer, I guess. So, like, you can influence anybody to do anything, and it's mandatory. That's true. How far away?

[Aryan]

Influence is doing a lot of work in that sense.

[Host]

How far away do you think we are from police departments being sponsored?

[Maddie]

Not far.

[Aryan]

I think they'll have five, ten years. That's a good NBA uniforms, sponsors.

[Host]

Exactly.

[Aryan]

Starbucks on their uniform.

[Host]

Starbucks, dude wipes.

[Big T]

Chicago Police Department, presented by Portillo.

[Host]

Oh, Dunkin Donuts.

[Maddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Host]

It's got to happen at some point, right? For sure.

[Big T]

And then you can buy the The Dunkin Donuts, Boston Police Department.

[Host]

You can buy the uniform. Yeah, yeah, damn.

[Maddie]

The Dunkin Donuts workers start wearing them.

[Aryan]

Ads on a cop uniform is crazy.

[Host]

It's probably, it's probably gonna happen if it hasn't already.

[Aryan]

Yeah, that's crazy America.

[Host]

But yeah, influencers. I count them as influencers. So today as we mentioned X is down, was down. I saw that it might have been somebody claiming to be Anonymous that did it. And when I say claiming to be Anonymous, I mean claiming to be the group Anonymous.

[Aryan]

So I follow like two different Anonymous councils on Twitter.

[Host]

Anonymous I don't think exists in terms of.

[Aryan]

Not in the way they used to.

[Host]

Yeah, it's not like an organization, a leader and then, yeah, different, like people beneath that. I think anyone that's a hacker can just be like, I'm Anonymous.

[Aryan]

That would be a dope episode to get into. Cuz their origins was really interesting.

[Host]

We could probably get somebody from Anonymous on the show.

[Big T]

Did we not do that?

[Aryan]

Did we do Anonymous? I don't remember doing.

[Big T]

Maybe we just talked about it.

[Aryan]

It's.

[Big T]

I mean it's been so long at this point, I don't even remember what we've done.

[Aryan]

Yeah. You want to do the Denver Airport next? Yeah.

[Host]

Somebody claiming to be Anonymous called it Operation Dreadnought.

[Aryan]

Why that was the name.

[Host]

Why they took over. I don't know what the significance of the name is. I think that's a pirate name, isn't it? Dreadnought.

[Aryan]

I don't know much about pirates.

[Host]

Yeah. So there was one person that claimed that it was Anonymous. We are Anonymous. We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us it actually be a good episode if we did it on Guy Fawkes. That's the mask that they wear.

[Aryan]

It's another V for Vendetta looking thing.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Big T]

You've seen that movie?

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Great.

[Aryan]

Good movie.

[Host]

A person named Guy Fawkes that allegedly tried to blow up Parliament really way back in the day on. Was it the 5th of November?

[Big T]

The gunpowder treason and plot I know of. No reason the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. Yeah, obviously, dude. Okay, remember, remember the 5th of November?

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Have you seen the film?

[Host]

I did, but I was hammered.

[Big T]

And then you should, you should watch great movie.

[Host]

Like an hour through it was like for very confusing movies.

[Aryan]

Oh, I thought, I thought you moved on.

[Big T]

No, yeah, sorry, bro, that's, that's the. It's the central theme of the movie.

[Aryan]

Yeah, I don't remember. I think I saw it on a plane. I was like in and out of sleep. So I don't. I don't remember any of that. Especially if we do it.

[Big T]

We should watch the movie. It's a great movie.

[Aryan]

I'm down to watch the movie.

[Big T]

Natalie Portman. Who's the.

[Aryan]

Who's the.

[Big T]

The old guy in that movie? What's his name? Is it Michael Kane? Is he in that movie?

[Host]

Was he the same guy that did. That was in Batman?

[Big T]

Yes. Yeah, no, I know who Michael Kane is. I'm just not sure if he's in that movie.

[Aryan]

Googling these people in real time stuff.

[Big T]

Stephen Fry is who I'm thinking of.

[Aryan]

Stephen Fry. That sounds familiar.

[Big T]

Not Michael Kane.

[Aryan]

Oh man. This dude. What else is he in? He looks familiar. What else is he in? Stephen Fry. Oh, we got the same birthday.

[Big T]

Love that.

[Host]

That's cool.

[Aryan]

Fry, right?

[Big T]

August 20th. Fourth.

[Aryan]

That's the third. That's the one.

[Big T]

It's August 24th.

[Aryan]

Oh, you did off the top.

[Big T]

Yeah. I KNEW it was August 20th. Something.

[Aryan]

When's your birthday?

[Big T]

May 4th.

[Aryan]

When's your birthday?

[Host]

January 31st.

[Aryan]

When yalls birthdays.

[Maddie]

May 2nd, June 16th.

[Aryan]

I'm not gonna remember none of that.

[Host]

May 2nd, May 4th. I'll remember.

[Maddie]

You remember this episode so you can go back and listen.

[Host]

Yeah, I remember Big T's birthday.

[Aryan]

Yeah. May the fourth.

[Host]

Because Star wars.

[Big T]

It's been co opted.

[Aryan]

Yeah, well, think they were first.

[Big T]

No, Star Wars. That. That was not a thing. I remember when it started happening.

[Aryan]

May the fourth be with you. That.

[Big T]

That was not a thing until like 15 years ago. And then it's. It around 2010 is when that started to really become.

[Aryan]

I don't know if that's the case.

[Big T]

I promise. Because I used to like May 4th.

[Host]

And now I don't because all the nerds took it.

[Big T]

It's just. It's too much. And then you. And then you tell somebody.

[Aryan]

That movie's been out since like the. What?

[Big T]

Well, they came out in the 70s, but. But that was not a thing until pretty recently.

[Aryan]

I feel like I remember it.

[Big T]

At least it wasn't a big thing. I'm sure Star wars fans, to them.

[Aryan]

It was okay, it was a deal.

[Big T]

But it wasn't a mainstream culture thing.

[Aryan]

Right.

[Big T]

Until a little while ago.

[Aryan]

RP to James Earl Jones.

[Host]

Yeah. He was blind.

[Big T]

What?

[Host]

In the sandlot. Oh, he's blind in the sandlot.

[Big T]

Not a fan of that movie. I thought he was actually not a fan.

[Host]

Dreams like Big T Wet dream, doesn't it?

[Aryan]

Yeah. It's like everything you love about I I America.

[Big T]

It should be good. It should be good. And it just. It's dogs, bro.

[Aryan]

How the. You don't like this movie?

[Big T]

It just doesn't. It's something about it.

[Host]

The tobacco use.

[Aryan]

Benita Jet Rodriguez, Dog pf Fly.

[Big T]

Like it seems like you love it.

[Aryan]

I love that they don't make movies like that no more. Him Sit on My Old Man Hill. But that. That. Those kind of kid movies, they don't. It's not the same.

[Big T]

Yeah, just some. It doesn't.

[Aryan]

How you like Air Bud and not Sand?

[Big T]

I don't. Actually, I don't. I haven't watched air Bud in 20 years.

[Aryan]

But when's the last time you watched Sandlot?

[Big T]

I don't know.

[Aryan]

Run it back.

[Host]

Yeah, you might like it now.

[Big T]

All right.

[Aryan]

Run it back. Everything.

[Big T]

Have you seen Rookie of the Year?

[Aryan]

Of course.

[Big T]

Now that's an awesome. Another class baseball right in that same Little Big League.

[Aryan]

Which one was that one?

[Big T]

That is where the kid is the manager of the Minnesota Twins.

[Host]

It might be better than Rookie of the Year.

[Aryan]

Really?

[Host]

It might be Rosenberger. Yeah.

[Aryan]

Really? Both great.

[Big T]

I don't. I don't agree with you, but it's a good movie.

[Aryan]

Yeah. I mean, I grew up on Rookie of the Year. That was my. That was my jam. I don't even like baseball. So.

[Big T]

Great movie. That and the mom in Little Big League. Her son in real life now plays for the Cubs.

[Aryan]

Really? Yeah. Little Big League mom.

[Big T]

I forget her name, but her son is Pete Crow Armstrong who plays for the Cubs.

[Host]

Yeah. Pca. He's so fast.

[Big T]

Wreaks havoc on the bases.

[Host]

I love watching that guy play.

[Aryan]

Wow, look at him play for Cubs.

[Host]

He also changed his number because the GM last year said your number's too slow.

[Big T]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Host]

I think they played a game of horse or one on one. And since he lost, the GM was like, you have to change your number.

[Big T]

What was his number?

[Host]

I forget.

[Aryan]

It was.

[Host]

It was a very slow number. Like, objectively, I think we've talked about the differences between fast and slow numbers before, but I would say white and black numbers. 36 is maybe the slowest number you can possibly be for running back.

[Aryan]

49 is probably slower.

[Host]

Yeah. 40s, you're getting into 44.

[Aryan]

Linebacker, you can skate in a 44.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Now, were you. Did you. I'm sure you didn't listen, but when you weren't here, Aryan and I tried to go 1 to 99.

[Aryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Big T]

Naming an athlete for every number. Oh, and we. We got stuck in the 60s.

[Aryan]

We got stuck the 60s.

[Host]

It's hard. You got to guess. Offensive line.

[Big T]

Once you get there, it's 60s.

[Aryan]

60S is tough. And I had us in the 70s, 80s and 90s, I had us. But the 60s, I got. I got stuck.

[Host]

You got Mario Lemieux at 66.

[Aryan]

Why you gonna start at 66?

[Host]

I'm just. I'm saying the ones that I know in the 60s.

[Big T]

See, hockey would be big to know in the 60s.

[Aryan]

Yeah, I. I feel like we would have made it if you were. Because we got stuck on what, 60?

[Maddie]

No, like 75, I think.

[Aryan]

Yeah, that's what it was.

[Big T]

We used several mulligans, though.

[Aryan]

Yeah, we had a bunch of mulligans. That's true. I think we had five.

[Maddie]

You used a lot more than five.

[Big T]

Not a lot.

[Host]

I mean, I think we could do it. I think we'll have to run. We'll. We'll give some space. The last time that we did it. Yeah, it was pretty over the summer. Let's give it a shot.

[Big T]

That's a good June activity.

[Aryan]

It's like one. One whole episode should be us going 0 to 100 and then going 100.

[Host]

To 0, going back down, but using different guys.

[Aryan]

I think it could be done.

[Host]

Why? Why do all jerseys end at 99? How come there's a course where it's a goofy. I think 100 would be. That'd be sick.

[Aryan]

Yeah, 100. 100 could actually go pretty hard. 100. 101 might go hard too. But 102 is where.

[Big T]

Do you know.

[Host]

117 would be good?

[Aryan]

What is that?

[Host]

It would just look cool.

[Aryan]

I don't think so.

[Big T]

Well, there is probably a reason. Do you know why in college basketball. Do you know the. The number rules in college basketball? And can you think of why that may be?

[Host]

Do I know the number rules?

[Big T]

So in the NBA you can have any number you want. Zero to 90. I think you'd have double zero too. But in college basketball, you can't have any digit larger than five so that.

[Host]

The referee can make the Falco go foul on number one two.

[Aryan]

So you can't have number seven.

[Big T]

Right.

[Aryan]

Wow. I never noticed that before.

[Host]

Go foul.

[Aryan]

Put another.

[Big T]

Well, cuz that could be 25.

[Aryan]

Just say it, bro. Seven fam.

[Big T]

Yeah, the NBA, you can have whatever number and that's just like 26.

[Host]

The scores.

[Aryan]

They can't figure it out in college. They figure it out in the league.

[Host]

The scores table there, they don't get paid enough.

[Big T]

I think they've been talking about changing.

[Aryan]

That, but they should. The golf season is in full swing.

[Big T]

And getting out there to work on your game is bound to make any day even better. And if you're looking to improve your drive, Chevy Equinox EV is the smartest choice you can make. Bold athletic styling, a commanding presence, award winning tech and impressive range, all with an affordable MSRP Chevy Equinox EV will put a smile on your face no matter how your scorecard shakes out.

[Aryan]

Speaking of numbers, I saw this thing. I don't know how accurate this is, but they were talking about it. I think it was an Arabic thing where they figured out the reason why they drew the numbers the way they did was because there was the angle. Every number was a representation of an angle in a number. So one was like this and there was a. There was a 90 degree angle and then two was like that. There was two angles. Three, four, five. Yeah, that's. It looked convincing. I don't know how accurate it was done in zero later was. There were. There are no angles.

[Host]

No angles in it.

[Big T]

That seems probably like something someone made.

[Aryan]

Up some of the numbers that. The way he drew. I'm like, nobody draws it like that. But yeah, it again. As time goes on, we all like to abbreviate things. So like, who puts the slash in seven anymore?

[Big T]

You know, Is that how it's supposed to be?

[Aryan]

That's originally.

[Big T]

Really?

[Host]

Yeah, yeah, like Europe does that. I think if you've ever seen a person from Europe write numbers, there's always.

[Big T]

I don't do it.

[Host]

Sometimes they have the extra hat, the extra serif on the seven and then the line through it. Cursive. That's just not even taught anymore.

[Big T]

I saw a video, I want to say it was the Yankees and they were, you know, teams. Now when guys are walking into the clubhouse, they'll be like, do this on a tick tock or whatever. They were like, right, Yankees and cursive and nobody could do it.

[Host]

That's a pretty easy one.

[Big T]

Yeah, that's their logo.

[Aryan]

That's what say it's on the jackets.

[Host]

Yeah, yeah, that's true.

[Big T]

And like nobody could do it. They don't even teach that anymore.

[Host]

What do you think about the Yankees abandoning the long standing tradition of not having beards?

[Big T]

I think it's about time.

[Host]

Really.

[Aryan]

I hate that.

[Host]

I hate it. I like that there was one team that thought that they were better than everybody.

[Big T]

I think it's so dumb. And I always wanted like, Garrett Cole is the guy who could have done it. And Garrett Cole should have been like, I'll come, but I'm keeping my beard so you can. You can make that decision.

[Host]

And now he's injured.

[Big T]

Right.

[Host]

Probably because he. He felt so bad that he had to shave.

[Big T]

Well, now he could have it back. So is it the beard?

[Host]

No, actually, I think that. I think that the Yankees lost their way.

[Aryan]

This is coming in nice, by the way.

[Host]

Thank you. I appreciate that. It's not, but that's a nice thing to say. I mean, better than normal it looks.

[Aryan]

Because I always see you from a screen, so from close up, it's like, hey, man, hell yeah.

[Host]

Hell, yeah. Beard looks better.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

I'm only 40 years old, able to grow some facial hair.

[Aryan]

You got to start somewhere.

[Host]

Gotta start somewhere. I think that Garrett Cole got injured because the Yankees lost their way and became like everybody else. Just because everyone else is doing it doesn't mean that it's right. You should have stayed true to what you were, Yankees and said, nobody is allowed to have facial hair. No one can have long hair. It was the Yankee way. And you sold your soul. Now deal with the consequences.

[Aryan]

I hate it.

[Host]

It's sad. Aaron, we need to talk. That's.

[Aryan]

I don't. I ain't gonna lie. My stomach dropped a little bit. That sounded like my father a long time ago.

[Host]

Stephen A. Smith and Bronnie.

[Aryan]

I saw. Yeah.

[Host]

There's beef between LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith.

[Aryan]

I saw. Yeah, I saw.

[Host]

Who won that. That confrontation.

[Big T]

Glad you brought this.

[Aryan]

Stephen a. A big fan of LeBron. So he's done an amazing job his entire career of. I think it's. I think it's hard. And from his perspective, I mean, he's. He's been the talk of the basketball world for the better part of 25 years.

[Host]

Yep.

[Aryan]

And he's done an amazing job, I think, of not. Not responding to the madness around it. Right. I mean, he's. He's human. So every now and then he'll say, I remember the funniest one was he called everybody broke. He was like, you know, you can criticize me, but you're gonna have to go back to your job. Go back to same problems, same thing. I'm gonna wake up and I'm gonna live my life like, damn, bro, we broke, ain't we? But. And that's. To me, that's natural, and that's normal, human stuff. Cause, like, there's only so much you can take before you lash out.

[Host]

Right.

[Aryan]

I think in this instance, you got to understand that one.

[Host]

You.

[Aryan]

You participated in it largely, and you. And you can't protect your kids from the Spotlight of the world. You can't do it. It's impossible. So if you. If you are prepping them, which I believe he did, if you're prepping them to be a part of this dance, you have to let them know that this is what comes with it. Like, I don't like it either. I mean, I've threatened to fly a whole bunch of motherfuckers out, right?

[Host]

Yep.

[Aryan]

And sometimes you just reach your wits every, like, pull up, what's up, dog? It gets disrespectful. Like, sometimes you can't. As a man, you just like, what's up? I understand it. And like I said, I'll give him some leniency because he's done an amazing job for 20 plus years of not doing this. But I think in this instance. And it's his baby, man, I get the anger. I get it. I understand. I got babies. So I feel like if somebody talked about my babies like that, we got problems. Like, my daughter has some, you know, some. Some ex friend drama that I was like, I gotta get a homegirl to go see her. What's up? Yeah, you know, but you gotta. You gotta let them have their own experiences. And that's a part of it. They grew up in this bubble, the social media bubble as well, so they understand it's part of it. I didn't think. I didn't think he should have done it. But again, I'm not LeBron James.

[Host]

And also LeBron, he's been very, very smart. He's got a good group of people around him.

[Aryan]

Yeah. And great system.

[Host]

And some people who are very powerful that are some of his best friends. So if he has problems, he does handle it.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

He just handles it with somebody else behind the scenes.

[Aryan]

Sure. Yeah. And that's another thing too.

[Host]

You.

[Aryan]

You could get Stephen A. On the phone and holl at him one on one. Or hey, pull up, meet me in the locker room. And then we had this conversation as men in front of the camera. Like that. I mean, it was probably just an emotional reaction. Cause like, yo, that's my baby bro. I get it. But I mean, I don't knock him. I just. I mean, he was in a lot of bounces.

[Host]

That's future president he's talking to. Just watch his tongue.

[Big T]

You touched on both parts. That, like, I found so ridiculous. Yeah. Pause. He did it where he wanted it to be seen. And see.

[Aryan]

I ain't going here with it.

[Big T]

He wanted it. He wanted people to see that. But that's not even my main point.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Big T]

You made your son a professional athlete. Like, you got him to be a professional athlete. When you're a professional, people get to comment on it. Like you. If you don't want anybody like talking about your kid, then, then you shouldn't have made him an NBA player. Because people talk about the NBA so you don't get to have it both ways.

[Aryan]

Yeah, I don't, I don't disagree. It's just, it's just one of those. Once you have babies, man, I feel like you'll, you'll get a little bit.

[Big T]

I understand him being up.

[Aryan]

You got a dog or something?

[Big T]

Nah, my parents have dogs.

[Aryan]

So, you know, like, imagine Stephen H. Is hounding your dog. No pun.

[Big T]

Okay. But my dog isn't playing in the NBA.

[Aryan]

Imagine, imagine he gets the role for the next air bud. Anyway, look at this ugly piece of.

[Big T]

And then you're putting, you're putting your dog in the, in the spot. People, you know, hey, people talk about Kirk, Herb Street's dogs, myself included, because he puts his dogs in the, the public.

[Aryan]

No, you're not wrong. You, you, you're not wrong. I just, I'm just probably not gonna get it on his bumper as much because I understand like, that's a, that's my baby. Like, even though I, and, and I understand what it's like to be in the spotlight and to be criticized to have that LeBron has been done. I mean, dog, I was watching this cut up highlight of him the other day and he had, it was a. ESPN was airing his high school basketball game and in his high school basketball game, the intro was highlights of Michael Jordan, Isaiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul Jabbar. And then they had highlights of him at the. In an Irish jersey, say LeBron James. The amount of pressure that is, that is crazy. Think about that nowadays, right? It just, it's, it's insane how much he's had to endure, but he's done an amazing job. So I, I hear you. It's just, I'm like, shit, after, after 30 years of being in the spotlight.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

You allowed a little blow up.

[Host]

Yeah. I also think that Stephen A. Smith, that is his job to talk about things like, like his job is 50% to talk about LeBron James.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Like what is he is being going to talk about when there's no news? We're going to find some of that. LeBron James said we're going to talk about that. And then if you get your son drafted to your team because you're LeBron James, then of course. Stephen A. Smith.

[Aryan]

Amazing.

[Host]

It's still. It is. It's an amazing job. My idea was that if. If LeBron wants to get back at Stephen A. Smith, he should force the Lakers to draft Stephen A. Smith and have Stephen A. Smith get dunked on and just embarrassed. Like, get him minutes and run against.

[Aryan]

Him in the primary.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Exact. Could you imagine?

[Aryan]

That would be funny.

[Host]

Could you imagine.

[Big T]

Do you think there's anywhere so, like, Nick Saban could have been governor of Alabama if he wants to.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Do you think there's anywhere LeBron could win an election? Because I feel like he's kind of burned bridges. Like in Ohio, if he runs for.

[Aryan]

Office, I think he wins there.

[Maddie]

He'd win.

[Big T]

You know. You know what's crazy? If I think it's either this season once it's finished, or if he plays next year. I think it's. If he plays next year, this stint with the Lakers would be the longest he's spent anywhere.

[Host]

That's really.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

Wow.

[Host]

True Laker.

[Aryan]

He's having a good season.

[Big T]

Laker legend.

[Aryan]

People are saying, I'm okay with that.

[Maddie]

Where would.

[Aryan]

I'm okay with that.

[Maddie]

What's he.

[Aryan]

Top five Laker, for sure.

[Maddie]

What's he gonna go into the hall.

[Aryan]

Of Fame as you say? What?

[Maddie]

What's he gonna go into the hall of fame?

[Aryan]

LeBron James.

[Host]

I don't think that in basketball, you go in as.

[Big T]

I don't think they do team.

[Host]

I think that's baseball, right?

[Big T]

Yeah, baseball. You can pick a logo on your hat or just leave it.

[Aryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Maddie]

Because Kevin Love said something last week about going in as a cab. I didn't. I didn't.

[Host]

Real might be that way about. No, because I think that in basketball, there's a lot of people in the hall of Fame that were not in the NBA. It's just the Basketball hall of Fame.

[Maddie]

So it's not like NBA, like, people.

[Aryan]

That had, like, crazy high school. They're in a basketball hall of Fame.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

High school coaches.

[Host]

Yes, a lot of high school coaches.

[Maddie]

Okay.

[Host]

Do you think that Miles Garrett is more of a true Ohioan than. Than LeBron James is because he decided that he would stick around?

[Aryan]

Is he from Ohio?

[Maddie]

No.

[Aryan]

No.

[Host]

But he stayed. He could have been a free agent. He could have. He could have brought all the kids from the Boys and Girls Club.

[Maddie]

They paid him.

[Big T]

Oh, you didn't see.

[Aryan]

No, I didn't say.

[Big T]

Yeah. 40 million a year.

[Aryan]

I assume that's why I stayed in.

[Big T]

Probably had something to do with it.

[Maddie]

Change of heart.

[Aryan]

I Don't got nothing against Cleveland. It's just like, if you have the opportunity to leave Cleveland. Most do.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Maddie]

But the few that stay.

[Big T]

But you also stay anywhere that wants to give you 40 million.

[Aryan]

That's what I'm saying. Yeah. It's great incentive. Yeah. I'll go to Cleveland right now.

[Host]

You give me 40 mil.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Maddie]

Look, I go to Cleveland for free.

[Aryan]

I will.

[Maddie]

I. I pay to go to Cleveland.

[Host]

I've always had fun in Cleveland.

[Maddie]

It's a good time.

[Host]

I think it is a good time.

[Aryan]

I shot Draft Day in Cleveland.

[Host]

Yeah, you're right. Yeah.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Great film.

[Maddie]

I think.

[Big T]

Time coming up to watch it again.

[Aryan]

Yeah, yeah, it's coming up. April, right? Yeah. I think we should have a watch party.

[Big T]

We say this every year and we never do it, but this year we should.

[Maddie]

I think LeBron is still more of an Ohioan because he grew up here or there.

[Aryan]

She said here. She thinks she's still there.

[Maddie]

I feel my.

[Aryan]

Mentally, I'm in Cleveland East 99, but.

[Maddie]

I think Miles Garrett having a nice little change of heart that happened to do with $40 million a year is helpful.

[Aryan]

He looked like that dude from Love is Blind.

[Host]

Which dude?

[Aryan]

The dude that looked like him.

[Maddie]

Devin.

[Host]

Oh, from this season.

[Aryan]

He was from the Houston season.

[Host]

Oh, okay. I didn't see that one.

[Aryan]

You seen that one, Maddie?

[Maddie]

No, but I literally just saw Love is Blind. I'm literally just naming the only Google.

[Aryan]

Google, Houston season. Love is Blind black dudes.

[Host]

Okay.

[Maddie]

Okay.

[Host]

I'm sure he'll do it.

[Aryan]

He looks. He looks like. I don't.

[Host]

That sounds like it could be right.

[Aryan]

I don't know his name. We're getting there. He got the mustache. Yeah. Light skin. Got a little. Got a little mini fro.

[Maddie]

I think Miles Garrett is so large that, like, no one really looks like.

[Aryan]

He'D be tall, bruh.

[Host]

Yeah, I can see it.

[Aryan]

You know what I'm saying?

[Host]

Yeah, I can see it. He's jacked up. Holy.

[Aryan]

So I watched the. Did y' all watch the. Yeah, a little bit, man. No, wait. This ain't him.

[Host]

You tell me. You tell me this isn't the guy.

[Big T]

That.

[Host]

Guy.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

That's gotta be. No, no, no, no. This ain't him.

[Host]

Yeah, it's Uche.

[Aryan]

No, it's not Uche. There's another dude that's a dude that didn't end up marrying his. His chick. That dude I'm talking about actually married his chick.

[Host]

Oh, okay.

[Aryan]

And he had a problem with Uche.

[Host]

Oh, okay.

[Aryan]

They. They. They had to be So I don't know what his name is. The big day for us here. Let's get it done. On paper, it's easy. Win and advance with the truth. It's than the road they drive on. Twelve drivers remain, hoping to match dreams with destiny and claim a cup filled with history. The NASCAR Cup Series playoffs brought to you by Xfinity at the Charlotte roville Sunday at 3:00pm Eastern on USA.

[Host]

I don't know.

[Aryan]

The.

[Host]

The season that I really followed closely in Love is Blind was in Chicago. And for the. For the bachelor party the night before, they took all the boys out to Wrigley Field, had him take batting practice there.

[Aryan]

Oh, that was okay.

[Host]

Everybody stepped up. I think you got three swings to see if you could hit, like at home plate. Pretty sick, right? Pretty sick thing to do. And the one guy who's very clearly the biggest athlete amongst the group, he reminded me of a Gronkowski brother. He went up there and he was taking it so seriously. He swung, missed three times and just flipped the out and got so mad that he ruined his entire wedding the next day.

[Aryan]

I remember that.

[Host]

Yeah, he like, ruined his life. Everything went downhill after that point. And he showed up to the wedding like up on some sort of.

[Aryan]

I don't.

[Host]

Either stimulant or coke or something. He was messed up.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

And it was all because he was mad.

[Aryan]

James Milton. It's not uche. No, it's James Milton. Uche. A little darker.

[Host]

Was that racist that we thought it was uche. Because in that. You saw the picture that I showed.

[Maddie]

You, this guy does look like.

[Aryan]

See what I'm saying?

[Host]

He does.

[Maddie]

Yeah, I see that more than uche.

[Aryan]

Yeah, this dude does.

[Host]

But you're telling me in this picture, Aaron, I would assume that that's the guy that you meant.

[Big T]

Look. Look like Miles.

[Aryan]

He's horny. He's horny.

[Host]

It's just.

[Big T]

I don't think either of them look.

[Host]

Like it's a big jacked up dude.

[Big T]

But if you strike out when you're. One opportunity to hit it, Wrigley Field, that's something worthy of crashing out over ruin a wedding. I mean, maybe don't do that, but like, I would be. I'd be devastated if you got. You can't be. You can't go up there trying to hit a home run. You need to hit one solid line drive to left center and you have that for the rest of your life.

[Host]

You say that would have been a base hit?

[Big T]

Yep.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Or even up the middle. As. As light as you want. You could dribble it up the middle and say it would have been a hit.

[Host]

But what if you went yard.

[Big T]

Little.

[Aryan]

Man, sitting on your shoulder, like, do it.

[Big T]

This is why.

[Aryan]

Swing away.

[Big T]

Well, I don't know if I can float it. I can't say that.

[Host]

But what?

[Big T]

This. This attitude has revealed itself in your life in other ways. I'm making it sound much more sinister than it is.

[Host]

I just.

[Big T]

I just can't reveal some results.

[Host]

I think I know what he's talking about.

[Aryan]

Got you.

[Host]

I think it is something that this.

[Big T]

Attitude can get you in trouble.

[Host]

It maybe took place earlier today.

[Big T]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host]

I got you. He's not wrong.

[Aryan]

You gotta swing, big man.

[Host]

Not wrong. Do we want to do some voicemails today or. Big T, are you teed off about anything?

[Big T]

I'll tell you, something did happen the other day, and now I don't remember what it was.

[Aryan]

I'll tell you, the last three weeks or so, Big T has been as whelmed as I've seen him consecutively.

[Big T]

Are you saying that's good or bad?

[Aryan]

I'm saying you have been in a great mood, my brother.

[Big T]

But whelmed is average.

[Aryan]

No, whelmed is average for everybody else. But for you, whelmed is like you've been walking on sunshine.

[Big T]

Really?

[Aryan]

Yeah. Look at your smiling.

[Big T]

Well, because that's just funny to see me. Totally. Totally. I don't. Yeah, I don't. That. That's not.

[Aryan]

That's what I've. That's what I've been doing the last couple weeks. I'm just saying. I'm just saying.

[Host]

I think that's directly correlated to. To Tennessee basketball.

[Aryan]

It could be. How's it doing?

[Big T]

16 02.

[Aryan]

16 0.

[Big T]

We're the best baseball program, like, in the country.

[Aryan]

Really? Yeah. What?

[Big T]

Right there, brother.

[Host]

National champions.

[Aryan]

I mean, I had never really just. Oh, they won the national championship last year.

[Big T]

Yes, they did.

[Aryan]

Holy.

[Big T]

Yeah. Yeah, we did.

[Host]

Damn.

[Big T]

And they're currently number two, which is horseshit.

[Maddie]

I mean, we have a huge ass flag that you're staring at.

[Big T]

I mean, do you want to know? I don't really.

[Aryan]

Look at these. I like how y' all folded my jersey nicely in the corner and you can't even see this. That's kind of up.

[Big T]

Well, it was over here, but I've kind of taken over this whole space at this point.

[Aryan]

This has become a big T shrine.

[Big T]

Yeah. This is one of the worst purchases I've ever made in my life.

[Aryan]

Why?

[Big T]

Because I bought it an hour after the game ended. For an exorbitant amount of money.

[Host]

How much did you spend on that? Let me guess.

[Aryan]

Yeah, let me guess too. This, right?

[Host]

279.

[Aryan]

Whoa. Really? I was going to go. I was going to go 85.

[Big T]

I believe it was like 249. What the. Because they had it right outside after the game and I didn't know how huge it was either. And then after, like the day after, they were online for 40 bucks.

[Aryan]

Yeah, that's how to get you.

[Big T]

But I. I'd do it again to win the national title.

[Aryan]

It's a story, though. Yeah, I was there.

[Big T]

Basketball. We're gonna be a two seed in the tournament.

[Aryan]

Oh, it's gonna be fun.

[Big T]

Yeah, we were. We were gunning for a while.

[Aryan]

I think I'm gonna make my way up here in March. I would like to watch some basketball games.

[Big T]

You're up here in March?

[Aryan]

This is March.

[Host]

It is March. Yeah, this is March. It's March 10th.

[Big T]

You could just. So this weekend is conference tournaments and then next weekend.

[Aryan]

Oh, I can't do next week. Next week I'm. I'm in a golf tournament. They're. They have a bunch of ex NFL athletes and they're doing a little tournament.

[Host]

Where's that?

[Aryan]

It's in Dallas. Oh, Frisco, Texas.

[Host]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Big T]

Who's the. Who are the best players that are in it? The best football players and the best golf players.

[Aryan]

Okay, so the best. Marshall Falk is in it.

[Host]

Tony. Tony Romo.

[Aryan]

No, I don't think he's in it. No, he'd win. I don't know that he would. Yeah, there's a dude that I played with. His name Garrett Graham.

[Host]

He just shot a 66. Holy.

[Aryan]

Like, he's. He's like. He. This is my dog. I golf with him all. I love golfing with people that are better than me.

[Host]

He.

[Aryan]

I golf him all the time. He's like. He's nice dog. Like had range testimony the other day. But like. Yeah, it's. It's gonna be fun. I'm excited about that. The good thing is that the format isn't. Isn't scoring. It's.

[Host]

It's.

[Aryan]

If you like, I can make an 8 on a hole and still be in it. It's. They accumulate how much birdies or eagles you make. Those are points. And so it's just how much. How many they accumulate, how many points you can make throughout the tournament. And so I have a shot.

[Host]

Okay.

[Aryan]

There's some. There's some gettable par fives.

[Host]

Have you played that course?

[Aryan]

I went and I Did a practice round last week.

[Host]

I love that.

[Aryan]

It is the hardest course I've ever played.

[Host]

Wait, you flew in? Did you fly to Frisco just to get a practice run?

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

I love that. That's awesome. Did you see anybody else up there that's gonna be playing?

[Aryan]

Garrett. I went with Garrett. Oh. Shout out to you. Shout out to Garrett Graham. That's my dog. I don't know which camera on me, but shout out to my dog.

[Host]

Shout out, garrett Graham.

[Aryan]

That's my man.

[Big T]

You don't have to come up here. The final four is in San Antonio, so when UT makes the final four, we'll go.

[Aryan]

You trying to pull up my mom. My mom's lives.

[Big T]

I will be there if UT is in the final four.

[Aryan]

Let's do it. I'm in. All right. What. What day is the final four?

[Big T]

It's in.

[Host]

It's the first three weeks.

[Aryan]

What?

[Big T]

First Saturday, first weekend in April.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Maddie]

It'd be like. Or April 5th.

[Host]

That's perfect.

[Aryan]

I pull up. Bring all. Bring all my kids. It'll be nice. My mom watch them. Me and you go to the game.

[Big T]

Love that.

[Aryan]

Amazing.

[Big T]

I'm counting on it.

[Host]

Great weather down there.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Good news is, UT goes to the final four often, so.

[Host]

I saw a couple movies this weekend. Have you guys? And it reminded me of the Pope, so I saw Conclave.

[Aryan]

I need to see that. I haven't seen no.

[Host]

Is the Pope. He's gonna be okay?

[Maddie]

I mean, what happens? Okay.

[Big T]

He was. He was knocking on death's door, but it seems like he might be in God's favor. Healed.

[Maddie]

So he didn't perform Ash Wednesday services.

[Aryan]

Last week, but damn, that's a big day for him. That's like the super bowl, ain't it?

[Host]

Yeah, it's like the only day.

[Maddie]

But.

[Host]

But that's. That's the main day that you got to be around.

[Maddie]

But he has started to get back into service after that.

[Aryan]

Do we know what was wrong with him? He had double, I believe, double pneumonia.

[Host]

Double pneumonia?

[Aryan]

You got it twice.

[Host]

Both.

[Aryan]

Oh, that's a double pneumonia.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

I went to a. When I went to the wedding, it was in a Catholic church, and I haven't been to a Catholic church in a long time.

[Host]

It's fun, isn't it?

[Aryan]

Got a little hot in there. No, but seriously, this is exhausting. Yeah, it is exhausting being a Catholic.

[Host]

Gotta know all the moves.

[Aryan]

I was only a Catholic for a day.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

And that was exhausting. I sat out on a lot of the prayers because it's just you stand up, you sit down, you sing. It's a lot going on. So at the end, it's like the.

[Host]

Rocky Horror Picture Show. Same thing.

[Aryan]

Good boy. So I go to the. So we all go to the back. Because then after. After it's like an hour and a half. Service dog. It's a lot for a wedding. And so after, we're all waiting because then we have to. They want everybody to go get pictures with the family. Right. Love them too, by the way. Nothing do with them, just. But at the end. So, like, there's this little room and I find out it's the confessional. And so I'm just curious. Young lad. And I go into the. To the room and I turn the light on. And I don't know if it's a preacher, a priest or whatever they call him. He comes, he's like, you want to confess? I was like, nah, dawg. I was just looking at the room, man.

[Host]

You're not ready to hear what I gotta say.

[Aryan]

I don't believe in this shit. Yeah. I confess.

[Host]

Is it. Are you allowed to confess if you're not a Catholic?

[Big T]

I don't believe so.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Big T]

I think they would encourage that.

[Aryan]

His eyes lit up when I turned that light on. It's like he came. He dropped down from the skies like, you want to come?

[Host]

Nah, he's like, pumped.

[Aryan]

Yeah. He was like, finally. And I was gonna. I was gonna. But I ended up not doing it because that would have been disrespectful. But you know how they take communion?

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

I was gonna go. Give me some bread and wine.

[Host]

You were hungry?

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

After being there for an hour, I.

[Aryan]

Was gonna go get me some, but I was like, I don't disrespect.

[Host]

We got p. Going to be another two hours for the hors d' oeuvres to come out.

[Big T]

Was it. Was it real bread?

[Maddie]

No, it's the casino.

[Aryan]

It's like a cracker.

[Big T]

No, I know. Yeah. But that's why I was asking. Why that would do anything for you.

[Aryan]

I just. I just wanted to do it. I've never gotten it.

[Big T]

Obviously.

[Maddie]

Good.

[Big T]

It's a bit.

[Aryan]

What?

[Big T]

Really?

[Maddie]

Do you want to hear something weird?

[Big T]

Yes.

[Maddie]

And I never. I never participated in this, but in my all girls high school.

[Aryan]

Sounds wild.

[Maddie]

Girls, Girls. You could Amazon boxes of the communion wafers and girls would Amazon them and bring them for lunch and eat sleeves of the communion wafers.

[Big T]

You're kidding.

[Maddie]

That sounds like an eating disorder. I mean, yeah, I'm sure that has.

[Big T]

Somebody.

[Host]

But they would eat like, calories don't count if they're forgot.

[Maddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host]

But they were like, I'm on the all Jesus diet. I just eat crackers and drink wine.

[Maddie]

They were unblessed. So it technically wasn't like, would that be blasphemy? I don't even know. Oh, but you can't eat unblessed Jesus.

[Host]

No, it like, it turns into Jesus once again once it gets blessed.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Maddie]

So girls would buy communion wafers and just like, like eat them like they were chicks.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

I got a question for the Catholics here. Do you guys have fun? Like, is, is anything about Catholicism enjoyable?

[Maddie]

I used to, like when I was a child and they would do when, like during Christmas, if there was too many people in the church, they would let the kids come up and sit up by the priest. Oh, wait, that was fun.

[Aryan]

Okay. It's like watching, watching them Peter seats.

[Host]

Yeah, exactly.

[Maddie]

I got a front row seat.

[Host]

Anything in Catholic because I've been, I've been to various weddings, various funerals. I think I went to a Christmas Mass at one point. I've probably done like a full Catholic mass. I'm going to say seven times in my life and it never seems like anybody is enjoying being there.

[Maddie]

No.

[Host]

Even the people who are like, die hard.

[Maddie]

Relatively boring. Yeah. You know what?

[Aryan]

Generally it kick started my, my want to get back in shape.

[Host]

Oh, I thought you're gonna say my atheism.

[Big T]

I was curious where that was going.

[Aryan]

I was in the church and I was like, I am out of shape. I'm tired.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

So I had to sit a lot.

[Big T]

That's how much getting up it was.

[Aryan]

I was like, no, I was like, I. I gotta get back in shape. And so the last like three weeks, I've been, I've been, I've been hitting it. So shout out to Catholics.

[Host]

What about, what about a workout routine like a church where you also work out the ultimate CrossFit, right. You just, everybody, everybody comes in and they, they put like a weighted vest on you. You got the ankle weights, you got the wrist weights. And then you do the full Catholic mass. Stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down. You get a good burn in squats.

[Aryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Maddie]

It's, it's fun when you go with your family and you, it's like when you're not supposed to talk and you get to, and you do your little talk, chitter, chatter with like your brother and you're like, did you see so and so, like, that's fun.

[Big T]

So gossiping is fun?

[Maddie]

Yes. Yeah. But that's Also fun outside of church, but.

[Big T]

Right. Well, that was my point from you.

[Maddie]

Yeah, I know. But it's fun inside church because it's like, oh, we shouldn't be doing this.

[Host]

Okay.

[Aryan]

Oh, the. The thrill. Yeah, But I. Maddie likes the thrill.

[Host]

Of the chase because I think other churches have. There's definitely, you know, boring times in other churches. But the other ones that I've been to and seen at least have a little bit where they're trying to pretend like this is done for enjoyment.

[Aryan]

Y' all ever been to a black church?

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

That's a vibe.

[Host]

It is.

[Aryan]

It could be a vibe.

[Host]

It is. I think it makes me self conscious, though.

[Aryan]

You can't dance.

[Host]

Well, just everybody can sing.

[Aryan]

Yo. So they say some of the best musicians in the world come from black churches. Yeah, it's insane. Like, I. I had to do. Who used to play in a church, and right now he's a. He's a pianist for touring musicians. And so he has to do shit like learn the music from the artist the day of the concert, shit like that. He's insane. But he. He used to tell me, like, there's this, like, not all the singers are tonally on like that, and so sometimes they'll start singing off key and he has to change the key of the song in the middle of the song. While that's insane, I like it. But the. The. The amount of talent that takes and.

[Host]

Are the people changing the key intentionally?

[Aryan]

No, I think they just, you know, some people are just tone deaf.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

And so, I mean, you always have the best singers, but they can carry note. But sometimes they get off a half a key or half a half a step.

[Host]

I saw Harry Connick Jr. Do the same thing or a similar thing one time when he was playing a song. And then it was some talk show that he was on. I want to say maybe the Ellen show or something. And then he was on the piano playing his like New Orleans style song, and then everybody was clapping on the ones and the threes, and he put an extra beat in there to trick the entire audience into clapping on the twos. You could see him. You could see the wheels turning and say, he's like, these are not clapping. He's like, I'll show them. And then he got. He got them in beat.

[Aryan]

Yeah, it's talent, man. It's a. It's a. It's. It's a language. The. The funniest time I've ever had in church. I think I said this on his pockets a long time ago, but it Was. It was in Knoxville, Tennessee, and they had a whole thing. I don't know what to call it. They had the priest dressed up as Elvis and they were. They were saying, leaving Las Vegas. But he was singing Leaving Lust Vegas. And the whole church is saying, leaving Lost Vegas. I was like, yo, what the fuck is this?

[Host]

That's good.

[Aryan]

It was insane.

[Big T]

What kind of church was that?

[Aryan]

It was in Knoxville. I have no idea. It was. It was. Where was it? I don't know. It was the one. It was the last one I went to because we would go every year before in training camp, and then after that, I was like, I'm. I don't. I'm an atheist. I can't do this anymore.

[Host]

Who do you think has the most fun in church?

[Aryan]

Atheists.

[Host]

All the denominations.

[Big T]

What's the snake handling?

[Host]

Pentecostals. Yeah, but I don't think snakes. I don't think they have fun when they do it.

[Big T]

I think they think you have to, or you. You'd go insane.

[Host]

I think they do it with, like, passion and maybe a little bit of anger, but because it's the devil that you're holding, I don't think that they enjoy. They're.

[Aryan]

They're not like, I'm not hip on Israel. What happens.

[Big T]

You're not familiar with snake handling churches?

[Aryan]

No, I'd stay away from snakes churches.

[Big T]

So there are. There's a verse in the Bible that says, like, you will be able to take up serpents. And with faith in God, you can, you know, nothing will harm you.

[Host]

Basically.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Big T]

And there are. There is a denomination of churches that takes that very literally and will.

[Aryan]

Oh, I remember talking about this.

[Big T]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host]

Because a lot of the leaders have died.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Some of them reach into a box and pull out a clump of snakes.

[Aryan]

That is the worst thing I could think of.

[Host]

Yeah, it's bad. It's bad. And they also have rules that you can't take the antidote to the venom if you're a true believer.

[Aryan]

If there is a guy, he's probably looking at like, hey, yo, y' all gotta.

[Host]

I didn't mean that.

[Aryan]

That's not. It was a metaphor, dog.

[Host]

Come on. I give you legs to run away from snakes. They don't have them.

[Aryan]

That's my heights for you, snakes. That's my heights.

[Host]

Oh, we gotta get some snakes.

[Aryan]

No, no, I won't. It's not a. Hahaha. We're getting Aryan. It's. I'm leaving.

[Big T]

No. Yeah, I would. They had a snake on the yak recently. And Titus, like, walked out. He's like, I won't.

[Aryan]

Yeah, it's not.

[Big T]

And I was like, you're probably making it worse for yourself, but, like, that' not be a party to that.

[Aryan]

Yeah, no, and it's not. I won't. Like, I'm going to be mad at you. I was like, I'm leaving the room. It's. It's something I can't control. You know, some people, you got heights, right? It's like your legs just shake.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

I. I can't control what happens to me when I see snakes. I leave.

[Host]

They're more afraid of you than you are them.

[Big T]

No. No, they're not.

[Aryan]

I don't care what they feel about me.

[Big T]

You and I seem to be pretty in tune on things. We don't fuck with. Ocean out. Except Republican snakes. Yeah, some of them I don't like.

[Aryan]

There you go. Yeah. No. Yeah, we're pretty lockstep in pretty much a lot of things. That's why we're friends. Big T. If you thought goldenly breaded.

[Big T]

McDonald's chicken couldn't get more golden. Think colder, because new sweet and smoky special edition gold sauce is here, made.

[Host]

For your chicken favorites.

[Aryan]

I participate in McDonald's for a limited time.

[Host]

Ooh, breaking news.

[Aryan]

Hit me with it.

[Host]

Texans are trading five time Pro bowl left tackle Laramie Tunsil.

[Aryan]

Oh.

[Host]

To the Washington Commanders.

[Big T]

Wow. I gotta.

[Host]

I gotta recreate the. The face mask.

[Big T]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Host]

Let's go.

[Aryan]

Oh, that's my dog.

[Big T]

That night was so awesome. Not for him, I'm sure, but for me it was entertaining.

[Aryan]

Fell to 13.

[Big T]

Had a great career.

[Aryan]

Yeah, I mean, that's good for you. He's. He's solid.

[Host]

That's. It was so funny that that happened. That was 2016, right?

[Big T]

I believe so. Because it was my freshman year of college. No, I think it was.

[Host]

Because I think it was the first. I think it was the first draft. Was he on part of my take Maybe.

[Aryan]

If. He must have been a rookie then, because I. I played with him a year.

[Big T]

It was the 2016.

[Aryan]

Okay. So, yeah, okay, it was a rookie then.

[Host]

Yeah, it was so funny because he was. Yeah. Supposed to be like a number five, number six guy, and then it's like, oh, shit, he smoked weed.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

We got to take him off our big board.

[Aryan]

But I mean, think about how much the world has changed. Like, we used to have meetings when players tweeted something out of pocket. Now you couldn't cuss in front of the media. Right. Like, now it's like, who Cares like.

[Maddie]

Michael Phelps smoked weed. It was like the end of the world.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

I remember when J.J. redick first accepted the Lakers job and he asked. They asked him some like regular benign question and he's like, frankly, I don't give a fuck. And it's like, you kind of forced that one. He didn't need to go there.

[Host]

He put some stank on a little bit.

[Big T]

Having a hell of a first year for our guys.

[Aryan]

Absolutely. My man. Hey, Don. Connect is playing.

[Big T]

He's. Dude, I'm telling you, he's gonna. He will make an NBA all star team, I promise.

[Aryan]

I don't think this year, but absolutely.

[Big T]

Not that the All Star Games already happened, but. And well, he played in the All Star game.

[Aryan]

He was.

[Big T]

He was on the. The rising star. He will make an all star team.

[Aryan]

I don't disagree with that. I think. I think he just shores his defense up a little bit or just continue to get mad buckets, you know, he's just a.

[Big T]

Awesome. He's a Hooper. He's.

[Aryan]

I agree.

[Big T]

He's a Hooper.

[Aryan]

I'm glad you're on the Laker train too.

[Big T]

Me and Big T. Laker T as long as DK's.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Maddie]

He almost lost.

[Big T]

Almost had to be Hornet T. What a fall from grace that would have been.

[Aryan]

You've been back on the ball train, though.

[Big T]

The what?

[Aryan]

Ball train. Lamello.

[Big T]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I mean, I would never. I. My, my viewership habits of the Lakers are if they're playing out west and there's nothing else on and I see Dalton has like six or eight points. I will turn it on. I wouldn't do that for the Hornets.

[Host]

Because it might be one of those nights.

[Big T]

Right?

[Host]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Gotta, gotta get in early.

[Aryan]

It's like, did you ever. How did the interview with the Adam Silver go? Because.

[Host]

Oh, it's good. He's very good at filibustering.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Host]

So I mean that as a compliment. I think he's like a good dude for the most part. But you'll ask him a question.

[Aryan]

Lawyer?

[Host]

Yeah, I think so. Yes. So you'll ask him a question and he will take like five minutes answering the question.

[Aryan]

Right.

[Host]

So that way you won't be able to like go back and forth with him on anything.

[Aryan]

Right.

[Host]

And also it limits the amount of questions that you can ask him in the course of your limited 30 minute interview. Very good at it. Very good at it. Sometimes I think that he listens too much to what the Internet has to say.

[Aryan]

So I asked that because I think it's Just as a ball fan, the NBA is getting kind of unbearable to watch, and it's been that way for a while now. This isn't breaking news.

[Host]

I'm just saying layups, dunks, and corner threes.

[Aryan]

It's getting bad, man. Like, it's almost to the point. It's like, I understand why you like college basketball more.

[Big T]

They're not even the same product. Like, I watch an NBA game now, and it's just like this.

[Aryan]

I agree, But I like good basketball. And you could kind of see the, you know, the fundamentals and just the plays that they make. It goes downhill, but you like the passion. You like the school rivalries and stuff like that. I like good basketball, but it's getting to the point it's not even good basketball anymore. You know, it's like. It's like. It's very watered down, and it's getting tough to watch.

[Big T]

It looks like a pickup game.

[Aryan]

It's bad, man.

[Host]

It's a. Yeah.

[Aryan]

It's also playoffs. It also gets a little better, though.

[Host]

Yeah. Because you guys are, like, going a little bit harder on defense, especially.

[Aryan]

They go harder and the possessions go down. So every possession matters a lot. Little bit more.

[Host]

Yeah. It just. Sometimes watching it feels like you're watching a math equation where it's like, okay, we figured out how to get the ball to this guy in the corner to shoot a three. Oh, he didn't make this one. It's okay. We'll do two more times, right?

[Big T]

If he makes 30. If he makes it 36% of the time, it's worth it to do that. Well, the. The. The three.

[Aryan]

That's not a bad.

[Big T]

No, I know. That's what I'm saying. And that's the calculation they make. They're like, fine, just keep doing it. But that's not enjoyable to watch.

[Aryan]

Yeah. I watched Steph the other day. There's a little highlight he had where he just turned around and threw it up from. And usually he's done it his whole career, but this one was egregiously like a bad shot. Yeah, that was a bad shot, and it made. He made it, but it's just.

[Host]

Well, then it was a good shot. No, see, that's the thing with bad shot. With Steph, there are.

[Aryan]

There are no bad shots.

[Host]

There are no bad shots. If you can get the shot off, it's a good shot.

[Aryan]

Yeah. He ruined basketball.

[Host]

He did.

[Aryan]

Because of his greatness. I'm not at Steph. I love Steph Curry. He's amazing, but he ruined basketball, and he Ruined pickup games.

[Host]

What's it like? I mean, you've just been watching your son play basketball? How old is he now?

[Aryan]

He's 11.

[Host]

So when you were watching, when he was like, 7 or 8 playing, were all the kids just shooting threes?

[Aryan]

He wasn't very good.

[Host]

Well, nobody is when you're. When you're seven.

[Aryan]

There was this one little kitty player I had. He could. He. He had that thing on a string that was. He was running circles around everybody. I was like, yo, you. You got to step it up. But no, I. I think for his age group, it's not as bad, because a lot of them can't shoot. Like, they can't reach, right? Yeah, but when you watch high school or something, like, it's. Yeah, they just jack up. They jack up shots.

[Host]

That's the funniest to me, though, is when you're watching kids playing and they. They all try to play like Steph Curry, and nobody can shoot a three, but they're still trying.

[Aryan]

Yeah. Yeah. My son. I mean, I'll be objective. He averaged 18 last year. 20 from 25 from free throw line. He could shoot, right?

[Host]

Well, he averaged 18 on how many shots?

[Aryan]

I didn't get that stat.

[Host]

Okay.

[Aryan]

I think. I think it was 40 from 40. 40 from 3.

[Host]

That's really good.

[Aryan]

I think it was like 50 something from the. From the field.

[Host]

How tall is he?

[Aryan]

He's. I don't even count it. Under five feet. It doesn't even matter.

[Host]

Well, I'm curious, because if he is five feet tall, I was gonna say.

[Aryan]

No, he's not. He's not catching you yet.

[Host]

Okay. He could beat me if he was five feet tall.

[Aryan]

No, I think you can get him.

[Host]

If he's shooting 40 from 3, he.

[Big T]

Should be 5ft at 11.

[Aryan]

No, they. I've said one of the kids they played was.

[Big T]

No, I know. That's. I'm saying if you're gonna be tall, I feel like at 11, you should be.

[Aryan]

You should be sprouting. No, no, I don't. I don't know The.

[Big T]

I don't know how tall I was at 11.

[Aryan]

He was probably tall as.

[Big T]

Yeah, I really. I stopped growing in high school. I was 6 5. I had to film maybe my, like, freshman year of high school.

[Aryan]

The busy lunch days. You could see over top of everybody.

[Big T]

Yeah, I've just. I've just always. I never had a growth spurt or anything. I was just always.

[Aryan]

That's insane for you to say that you've had a growth.

[Big T]

Right. But I was. I was just Always the tallest. Like, I never. I never had a, you know, a summer Where I grew four inches or something.

[Aryan]

Like.

[Big T]

I don't know when it happened, I was just always. 99th percentile.

[Aryan]

Evolution happens, man.

[Big T]

Right?

[Aryan]

Yeah. Yeah. Just happens.

[Host]

I'm still waiting for mine.

[Big T]

It could be coming.

[Host]

That's.

[Aryan]

It's gonna come in with your beard.

[Host]

You know what? I appreciate that. Science needs to figure that out. There should be a pill or some medication that I can take right now. To make me grow 4 to 6 inches.

[Aryan]

I think you can get, like, in your legs.

[Host]

Yeah, you can. I get tagged in that a lot Whenever somebody posts it. But you got to break your legs. And then they put spacers in there.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

And so you really can't walk for.

[Aryan]

Like, sometimes you got to take a step back to take two steps forward.

[Host]

That's right. What if. Man, if I showed up, though, and I was, like, 6 foot 3.

[Aryan]

No, that should be amazing.

[Host]

Hey, it'd be over for you guys.

[Big T]

Think about how easy it is for you to get in and out of that flight simulator.

[Host]

That is. Yeah, it is pretty true.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Also, Aaron, we got a flight simulator built back there.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

We got to get you in the cockpit.

[Aryan]

I'm in.

[Host]

See if you can land a plane.

[Aryan]

Pause.

[Host]

Yeah. You want you in?

[Aryan]

Yes.

[Host]

Okay.

[Aryan]

But see, we talked about this a little bit. There's a lot of pressure on me.

[Host]

Yep.

[Aryan]

Because off. Off the top, I'm a DEI pilot.

[Host]

So if you crash. See, if you crash.

[Aryan]

But if I land.

[Host]

Then that looks bad for big T. Oh, because he crashed. Yeah.

[Big T]

I thought I had a pretty good landing going Right until the crash.

[Aryan]

I got a lot Right. The ancestors with me on this. I got a lot riding on this.

[Host]

Yeah. I mean, I'll talk you through it.

[Big T]

You were telling me I was doing well.

[Host]

Well, you were until you overcorrected.

[Big T]

Right, but you made me crash.

[Host]

No, you.

[Big T]

Because you were like, you're too far to the left. And then you were making me do all sorts of maneuvers near the ground. If. If I would have just kept on my path. We were landing that thing.

[Host]

It was a good. It was a good approach.

[Aryan]

Bad landing. So when you say, I'm gonna land a plane, I assume you're gonna take off for me.

[Host]

No, you're gonna take off, too.

[Aryan]

I gotta take off, too.

[Host]

Yeah, that's easy.

[Aryan]

Not even get in the air.

[Big T]

It was easy.

[Aryan]

It's easy.

[Host]

Yeah, it's very easy.

[Aryan]

You just do the little thing, right?

[Host]

Yeah. Just go forward. Lift.

[Aryan]

Also forward is up.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

Backwards.

[Host]

Break yeah, that's the thing. The whole DEI pilot thing and DEI air traffic controllers. Do you know how many tests you have to pass to become a pilot? You cannot, you cannot be. You cannot be a pilot if that is in charge of carrying people in your plane. If you haven't test passed the, the like very rigorous procedures.

[Aryan]

There was a, there was a video that went around and it was like some dude with, he had, he had locks, he had golds in his mouth and he was like videoing himself to go fly a plane. He was like, he just passes or whatever the case. And it went by. I was like, I don't want this guy flying me. I was like, I do want this dude flying. Because to look like that and to still get your license, you'd have to be extremely good at what you do.

[Host]

I would agree with that. Yes.

[Aryan]

I want him flying my plane.

[Host]

Yes. If you, if you show up with the grill.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

And the long hair. Yeah. You probably.

[Aryan]

You have to be exceptional.

[Host]

No room for error.

[Aryan]

You have zero room for error.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Maddie]

Do you want to do the stocks today or do you want to save it for Wednesday?

[Host]

Let's save for Wednesday.

[Aryan]

Hey macro crew. Mostly calling for PFT because this is Tim. I'm from the Dallas area, live in.

[Host]

Chicago right now actually.

[Aryan]

But mostly calling for PFT because I am pissed off at this whole Dallas Mavericks thing and I was curious as someone new to a level of ownership this atrocious and bad. What Advice would you have as someone who kind of lived with that with the commanders for so long? Because I'm about to crash out on this team.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

And there's nothing to do about it. Because I. I hate it.

[Host]

I can say that as much that I've been through as a Commander's fan with the Dan Snyder era, I don't think he's done anything on a personnel basis as egregious as what the Mavericks did by trading Luca. He did a lot of stupid shit. And there were some very bad free agent signings, Very, very bad coach hires. And it was a lot of the off the field stuff. The way that he treated the fans, the way they treated people that worked for him. There's. There's a lot of stuff that made Dan Snyder, hands down, the worst owner in sports, maybe in sports history. March Shot. Forgot about Ward Shot. She owned the Reds for a long time.

[Big T]

Oh, she. You should look into her. She was a nut.

[Host]

She was dropping in bombs and interviews. Yeah, she was. I think she had Hitler memorabilia in her office.

[Aryan]

Everybody's a Nazi.

[Host]

Again, prominently.

[Aryan]

What's her name, Marty?

[Host]

Marge.

[Aryan]

Marge. Oh, wow.

[Host]

You don't think that a Nazi can be a woman?

[Aryan]

Everybody knows there's only male Nazis, so. Oh, she's dead.

[Big T]

Yeah. Big time.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Big T]

She was old in the 70s.

[Host]

Yes.

[Aryan]

World's. World's a better. He's a big time. Dead. Huge.

[Host]

Huge dead.

[Big T]

If. If you've been dead for at least 25 years, you're a big time.

[Aryan]

Big time.

[Host]

Big time. But I don't think he ever did anything. As much as I hate him. He was worse. He was a worse owner than the Mavericks owner for other reasons besides.

[Aryan]

Like who owns the Mavs now? Because Mark Cuban's not this.

[Host]

It's. Is it Sheldon Adelson?

[Aryan]

I was asking you.

[Host]

Edelman. Sheldon. What's his name?

[Big T]

But doesn't Cuban still have something to do with it?

[Host]

He is a minority owner right now, so he has no control over the team. They told him about the trade after it happened. So he sold off his control.

[Aryan]

React to it.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Host]

He was not happy. Yeah, he was not pumped.

[Big T]

Patrick Dumont.

[Host]

Oh, where are the. The casino people?

[Aryan]

Was that. No idea. Maloofs?

[Host]

No, this is a different casino bird. Anyways, Snyder never did anything as bad on a. A personnel decision as this. This would be I. To give you a picture. I would say it would be like trading away Jaden Daniels right now for. I don't know. Miles Garrett. Trading Jaden Daniels for.

[Aryan]

I don't think it's that bad.

[Big T]

And no picks.

[Host]

And no picks. Jaden who, who's like an older guy, maybe injury history. Travis Kelsey, Kirk Cousins, hall of Famer. Well, I mean, to be fair, Anthony Davis did win a bubble championship, right?

[Aryan]

Here we go again.

[Host]

So yeah, it would be like getting, getting rid of a young superstar.

[Big T]

He got the bubble, the T shirt with Mickey Mouse on it. NBA champion.

[Aryan]

No, I'm gonna order me a co branded bubble merch T shirt.

[Big T]

You should.

[Aryan]

I'm doing right now.

[Big T]

Bezos, the ring, I think, you know, they do stuff on the inside. They, they answer, it has Mickey Mouse.

[Host]

But here's, here's what happens when you have a really shitty owner, right? There's, there's stages to it and the fans tried to take some of the power back in any way that they can. You go through a stage where you fly sky riding planes over the stadium. Probably tough to do that with basketball since it's indoor doors. You try to organize fan boycotts, you try to organize fan walkouts. We're all going to leave. We're not going to go into the game until the second quarter. And then that way when it tips off on tv, they're embarrassed that nobody's there. The problem with this, with this ownership group that you have is that there it feels like they're almost looking for an excuse to complain and be like, we got to move the team. They don't care about what the fan, they don't care about what the fans think anyways. If they had a healthy respect and a healthy fear for what the fans thought in Dallas, they never would have made that move in the first place.

[Aryan]

So, so you think this is, this is the goal? The goal is to pissed off the fan base enough to have incentive to move the squad?

[Host]

Well, no, no, I, I'm saying this guy sounds like he's a Mavericks fan. He wants the Mavericks to stay in Dallas. He wants to be a Dallas Mavericks fan. So there's a lot of moves that you can make that are just going to piss the owner off and it sounds like in this case inspire them to lean towards moving the team. But since you don't want to do that, what city? Vegas. Vegas is always out there trying to think where, I mean, Seattle, Seattle should have a team.

[Aryan]

I don't know. I don't know that that's a bigger market than Dallas though.

[Host]

No, it's not. But there's a lot of money that you can make in Vegas with having.

[Aryan]

No Vegas makes sense. Seattle doesn't make sense from Dallas, but.

[Host]

It'S just good to have if you're, if you're an owner. It's good to have a city out there that currently doesn't have a team that could have a team. Because that way you can try to extort more money from your, you know, taxpayers to get, you know, refurbishments or a new stadium. That's kind of what they look at. So if I'm this guy and you don't want the team to move, but you want to get this guy the out, you gotta hope that he's very stupid with how he commits his crimes. You got to hope that he does something that causes the other owners to lose money. Because as many sexual harassment charges as Dan Snyder had, as many missteps as he had, as poorly as he treated everybody. The stadium almost killed Jalen Hurts. The stadium would rain and piss on their own fans. They sold peanuts that were expired by like nine months. Rotten peanuts in the concession stand. They sold expired beer at the concession stand.

[Aryan]

Buying peanuts there.

[Host]

Anyway, he got a good discount on it. He bought them from an airline.

[Aryan]

I'm saying, well, as a fan, like you just add a game, you're like, I want peanuts.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

Wild thing to want.

[Host]

That's a fair point. That's a baseball snack.

[Big T]

Baseball.

[Host]

Baseball snack.

[Big T]

But would you, would you begrudge someone for having peanuts at a baseball game?

[Aryan]

It's an odd desire to have while watching a sporting division. It makes your mouth dry as well. I'm talking to people who love pretzels, so that makes sense.

[Host]

That's true.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

I like my mouth wet, brother.

[Big T]

But baseball, you can have a water.

[Aryan]

I would just rather it be moist.

[Big T]

You know what the, what the southern thing is? You take a bunch of peanuts, put them in a Coke.

[Host]

What?

[Big T]

And then you drink it.

[Aryan]

Peanut butter Coke.

[Big T]

No peanuts. Take peanuts and no butter.

[Aryan]

Just peanut Coke.

[Big T]

Uh huh. Yeah. And you put them in a Coca Cola and it gets, it gives it like a salty. It's a thing I've never.

[Aryan]

I mean, I'm down to try. I love Coke. I got love. I'm a Coke guy.

[Big T]

Especially an 8 ounce glass bottle coke. That's, that's the best way you can.

[Aryan]

Drink it with the Mexican sugar.

[Big T]

So that's, that's a different one. But those are great too. Okay, but the, the, the original, like 8 ounce glass bottle, smaller one.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Big T]

And you take a little pack of peanuts.

[Aryan]

The one that they had on sandlot.

[Big T]

Yes. And you take a pack of peanuts, put them in there. And that's a, that's a, it's an older person Southern thing.

[Aryan]

Yeah. And I never heard this. Yeah. How old are we talking?

[Big T]

Like my, my great grandma loved it.

[Aryan]

Oh.

[Big T]

But I think like that's when they.

[Aryan]

Had Coke and Coke.

[Big T]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Big T]

But I think like, you know, people like, like your parents age.

[Aryan]

My mother loves Pepsi so I don't know that she's ever. And they from the west coast. My dad's from la, she's from Southwest. So I don't know. I'm down to try it. I love. I'm a Coke guy. Dr. Pepper Rain supreme for sure. But I'll definitely try that out, man.

[Big T]

The tradition of pouring peanuts into a glass of Coke is believed to originate in the southern United states in the 1920s. Became popular with blue collar workers who didn't have time to wash their hands. I don't see how that workers with dirty hands didn't want to touch their peanuts so they dumped them in the Coke.

[Aryan]

So you wash. It would. It would wash the salt off them. And then you just eaten unsalted peanuts at the end of the. It's like a little. It's like a little treat at the end of the Coke. I'm game. I don't know. I like cherry Coke. So it. Bring on the peanut Coke.

[Host]

I would be down to try it too. I'll try anything.

[Aryan]

Really.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Big T]

But someone on Reddit is saying some prefer Dr. Pepper in peanut peanuts.

[Host]

That's some real Georgia right there. What About Cheer Wine?

[Big T]

Dr. Pepper's Texas.

[Host]

But what about cheer wine?

[Big T]

That's North Carolina.

[Host]

And peanuts.

[Big T]

Cheer wine similar to cherry Coke. You would like it.

[Host]

It's a cherry soda.

[Aryan]

Cheer wine.

[Host]

Cheer wine.

[Aryan]

Is it actually wine?

[Host]

No, it's just cheer. It's just good. It's a cherry soda, but they just call it cheer wine.

[Aryan]

Why they call it. Why?

[Host]

I don't know, but it's good.

[Big T]

One word. Cheer wine.

[Aryan]

I'll give it a go.

[Host]

To this guy's. To this guy's point. What you're going to want to do then is hope that the owner commits a some sort of infraction against the other owners who then lose money because of this infraction. And then, and only then will the other owners do something. But this is one thing I think that Europe does so much better than American sports fans. Big T, you might actually agree with this.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Host]

European sports fans, I think they're. I think Europe is a better sports town than the United States.

[Big T]

It depends in what aspect.

[Host]

Because if, if there's any happening, if it seems like there's Some bad moves or they don't like their coach or they don't think that the ownership group is dedicated to winning.

[Big T]

They take to the streets.

[Host]

They take to the streets and they riot.

[Big T]

Yeah. No, they will.

[Host]

You'll see, like, ladies walking topless down the street, setting flares off like they're gonna storm into the. The team facility.

[Big T]

And they do love a good riot. Yeah.

[Host]

They love a good ride. And I think that European sports teams have a healthier fear of their own fan base than ones in the United States do.

[Big T]

Well, they also, and this is a. I guess it's a good thing they have not accepted that sports are a business like Americans have. So, like, they. They believe. I. I don't know how to word this. They don't accept that, like, moves are made to. To make money or to save money. Like, they are like, this is my team. You need to be doing everything you can.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Big T]

To. To win. And if you're not doing that, you're gonna feel our wrath, which I respect. Yeah.

[Host]

I think that's a good way to operate.

[Big T]

Whereas here, like, not that move specifically, because that was egregious, but when a team trades away somebody, they're like, listen, we're not going to be able to pay this guy. Like, we think we can make the team better through getting some picks and stuff. People are like, I mean, that sucks, but okay. Like, they don't put up with like, that.

[Host]

Yeah. And you saw a little bit of that from Dallas, from the Mavericks fans after this trade because it was so egregious that there were a couple protests outside the stadium. People had like a casket that they brought out. I say keep doing that.

[Aryan]

That's crazy, though.

[Host]

Like, make it. Make it. Make it so that they don't want to go to work.

[Aryan]

This is a. That. That's an all time up, though. Yeah. I don't even think you could recover from that.

[Host]

I don't think you can either.

[Aryan]

No.

[Host]

But yeah, like, they're saying, oh, be nice to Nico. Don't say Nico on the jumbotron. No. You should be saying Nico shirts all day, every day. That you should wear shirts to the games. You should get people sitting in the crowd that the color of their shirt spells out Nico on TV when the camera hits it. Like, I'm not saying don't attack him or anything. No, no. Like, threat of violence, but make. Make his life miserable. Like, he should not. He should not be happy.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Because he. He took away the joy from. How many Mavericks fans are there? Millions. There's like 30 of these millions of mavericks.

[Big T]

30 million.

[Aryan]

I was joking. I have no clue.

[Big T]

I mean, how many people live in Dallas?

[Host]

Oh, I'm gonna guess.

[Big T]

All right, we're doing metropolitan statistical areas.

[Host]

Are we counting Fort Worth?

[Aryan]

Ready, Maddie?

[Big T]

Yeah. The. The Dallas metropolitan statistical area of Dallas for metro going to say it is.

[Aryan]

I'll go first.

[Big T]

7.6 million people.

[Aryan]

Hell no. Ain't no way I'm going go. I'm going to go 3.8 million. Ooh.

[Host]

I'm going to go 4.9.

[Maddie]

Big T dub. It's 8.1.

[Host]

Wow.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Y' all don't know how big Texas.

[Aryan]

Is, but I'm saying. Oh, so how much? How much? Because Houston. Oh, I might as well. Houston's a lot city. It was only. It was only 4 million. That's.

[Big T]

Houston's probably close.

[Aryan]

Check, check. Just the Houston city.

[Maddie]

Houston population.

[Aryan]

Yeah, because I think that's what I looked at rather than the metropolitan.

[Maddie]

Do you want to guess or do you want me to just tell you?

[Aryan]

Yeah, just tell me.

[Maddie]

2.3 million.

[Aryan]

Yeah. So that's why I was like, there's no way.

[Big T]

Houston's probably nine.

[Aryan]

Who's is a fourth big. Biggest city in the world?

[Maddie]

It says their Metro population is 7.1.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Houston.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Big T]

That can't.

[Host]

Dallas isn't bigger than Houston because you included Fort Worth, which is its own city.

[Aryan]

I didn't know he was doing Fort Worth.

[Maddie]

It's like, isn't it Dallas, Fort Worth?

[Big T]

Yeah, it's.

[Maddie]

It the one. The number that I thought was just.

[Big T]

Doing Houston's, like, metropolitan area should still be bigger than that.

[Host]

But you. You understand that Dallas and Fort Worth are both cities. They're separated by, like, 40 minutes in between them.

[Big T]

They'Re very close together.

[Aryan]

I don't know that it's 40, but it's a drive. They. They had a Super bowl there one year. I went and it was. It was the. The drive time between parties was egregious.

[Big T]

But I'm just saying, even so, the.

[Aryan]

I agree with you. It should be. I thought it was bigger because, like, what. New York city is, what, 10, 11?

[Big T]

Yeah, when you count.

[Aryan]

Yeah, like Queens and Houston. I know Houston is the fourth. Last time I checked, it was like, the fourth biggest. So it has to be around. That's why I said four. I was thinking it was five.

[Host]

See, Fort Worth to Dallas.

[Big T]

I bet no traffic. You can get Dallas to Fort Worth in 21 minutes.

[Host]

Right now, we're looking at 45 minutes.

[Big T]

That's. It's rush hour.

[Host]

Look look, non rush hour 27.

[Aryan]

That's, that's about prime. Yeah, that's when it starts getting cracking.

[Host]

It's.

[Big T]

How many miles is it?

[Host]

32.4.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Miles. Yeah. Okay, so half an hour.

[Aryan]

Yeah, it's about 20, 25, 30 minutes. Like so I'm, I am like 30 something miles from the airport, from where I live during Russia. It could take me 3pm it could take me an hour and a half to get there. But this morning I boarded a plane. I got there in 34 minutes. And I'll be mashing too, though.

[Host]

Yeah. All right, let's do another voicemail.

[Aryan]

Hey, what's up, guys? This is Jackson from Savannah, Georgia. My question today is what in the world, if anything, has reached peak evolution? If this may be a stupid question, but yeah, if there's anything that you think has basically evolved as far as it's going to get, like there's nothing else that we can do to it. And then I guess the second part to that question would be, if anything, what do you think is the furthest behind that you think could still evolve quite a bit and that we are lacking in that department. It's almost kind of like when people say, you know, we can put people on the moon, but I can't keep my YouTube playing while I switch between apps, stuff like that. So anyways, ponder on that. Hope you guys stay handsome, stay beautiful and. And thanks for the show.

[Big T]

I like this question.

[Aryan]

I don't know that I agree with the premise of the question or that he understands evolution like that, or am I taking it too seriously?

[Big T]

You're taking it too seriously because there's one clear answer in my mind. Televisions. Because for a while we tried to get cuter with tv. Oh, we're going to curve them. We're going to make them. 3D curve is a bad idea. And they all sucked. We have. We've got them as thin as they need to be. We've got them as cheap. Like, you can get a great TV now for $300. Like, we've got it and the picture is great. We don't need to fuck with TVs anymore. We have it perfect.

[Aryan]

I don't know, I kind of like. So have you seen that? Which I don't think needs to be a thing, but I think can usher a better idea. Those phones that fold, the screens fold.

[Big T]

See, I don't need that.

[Aryan]

I just said I don't think we need that. But that the elasticity of that scream could be useful on a larger scale.

[Host]

You can Fold up a tv.

[Aryan]

That's what I'm saying.

[Big T]

But what's the utility?

[Aryan]

Okay, think about, think about a couple of homies, we going to go on a camping trip, right. That has, you know, plugins. Right. And I can, I can unfold a 55 inch and we, and we, we could rock Madden.

[Big T]

Sure. I mean, TVs are immobile.

[Aryan]

I'm just saying, I'm just saying in your line of thought, evolution, there are untapped possibilities here.

[Big T]

I think to answer this question, it needs to be something that on a plane that we have tried to like go past and it wasn't good.

[Aryan]

I think it's the folding tv. I think there's. I think you're licking your chops. I think you feel where I'm going with this.

[Big T]

I mean, yeah, I could see a world where that has some sort of utility. But you can also just take a TV. Like TVs aren't.

[Host]

You gotta, like, you gotta have somebody else that helps you carry it or.

[Aryan]

You gotta, you can't carry a 65 inch cabinet.

[Host]

I like Arian's idea about foldable. What about this foldable tv? Battery powered. Don't need to plug it in.

[Aryan]

Sunlight.

[Host]

Sunlight or. Yeah, it's just got a battery in it. Like a big, a giant phone.

[Aryan]

Oh, oh.

[Host]

So you fold it, you take it with you. It's got a little stand. Have you seen anywhere?

[Big T]

There's a new TV. I'm 90 sure. It's battery powered and it has six like suction cups on it and they're like, you can put this anywhere and you just hold it up for 10 seconds and it like vacuum seals to the wall.

[Aryan]

Oh, I saw that. Yeah.

[Big T]

Yeah. It's ridiculously expensive, but it's supposed to be.

[Aryan]

So I think we're in agreement then. TVs can evolve more.

[Big T]

But I think the, the technology we have perfected.

[Aryan]

No, that would be technology.

[Big T]

It doesn't need to be curved, it doesn't need to be 3D.

[Aryan]

It can fold though.

[Big T]

I think you're creating a different thing with that.

[Aryan]

No, it's a tv.

[Host]

He's evolving.

[Aryan]

Yeah, I don't, I don't. Typical conservative.

[Big T]

You don't want to move forward. I think you have a solution. In search of a problem.

[Aryan]

All right, we'll go on our camping trips and you go, I'm not going camping. You convince your homeboys to carry your 65 inch TV with you. And me and PFT will unfold our solar unfoldable or foldable TV. And we're gonna have A great.

[Big T]

I think the point of camping is to get away from things like that.

[Aryan]

That's not true.

[Big T]

Your worldly.

[Aryan]

The point of camp is to do what you do in the nature. There's very few people that go fucking get in touch with. Fuck that.

[Big T]

I'm not saying it's a bad idea. I just don't think it's maybe stubborn with this.

[Aryan]

I think you love this idea, actually.

[Big T]

I don't dislike it. It could be great if it works. But I. I don't think that if.

[Aryan]

It works now we're in reality.

[Big T]

All right. No, no fight. You. You were talking about. Oh, well, actually the. The evolutionary psychology of we. Anything you guys said, I was taking.

[Aryan]

It too serious and I scaled it back and I took it tenfold and I'm like, let's fold our fucking tv.

[Big T]

All right, So l. Your tv.

[Aryan]

Cars.

[Host]

You don't think cars are going to get any better?

[Aryan]

No, I want them to. That's not fully evolved yet. Oh, yeah, we want the Flying Jones.

[Host]

We were. We were promised flying cars.

[Aryan]

I should have had flying cars at my age.

[Host]

When I was a kid, they were like, yeah, when you, you know, when you turn 40 years old, it's gonna be all flying cars, moving sidewalks everywhere. We don't even have a fucking high speed trail system or train system.

[Aryan]

Oh, I pick my mom up. She likes taking a train. And it's. I'm looking at this old dusty Amtrak train. It's just like, it's time.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

It's time to move. It's. We need to get better trains.

[Host]

Yes.

[Aryan]

And flying cars.

[Big T]

I have a. This may be the only time you ever hear this. I have a compliment for the U.S. government.

[Host]

Okay, let's go.

[Big T]

I only very recently, like this week, found out Amtrak is like government run. Yeah, I think Amtrak runs pretty well.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Big T]

And it's a. It's a good product.

[Host]

Yes.

[Aryan]

They do a lot of good things.

[Big T]

Yeah, this. That was the first I'd heard.

[Host]

Like, it's not perfect. Nothing's perfect. But they do a pretty good job.

[Big T]

In the Northeast, though. Like, I think it's. I think it. It runs pretty well and it's a good. It's a great alternative to flying.

[Aryan]

Yeah, I prefer trains over planes. It's just. I think that there's not enough of them connected to the cities that I want to go to. 1, 2. I think that they're miles and years behind Europe and like Asia.

[Host]

I'd say. I would say decades even.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Like the bullet trains that they have overseas.

[Aryan]

Yeah. I took I took a train when I went to Japan. Across cities. I was like, oh, this is insane.

[Host]

If we had that here, people would use it.

[Aryan]

I would much rather. Because, like, I'm afraid every time I go to the airport, there are people, like, nervous about flying. It's still crazy to me. This morning, I was in Houston, Texas, thousands of miles away, and I'm sitting in Chicago Nose. That's amazing. But I'm on a fucking flying aircraft that can crash at any moment. And granted, statistically, it's a safer mode of traveling, but it's still in the back of my mind, I'm like, I'm gonna crash every single time. Time.

[Host]

Because it's a miracle that you're up there to begin with.

[Aryan]

Insane. What an invention. But I would much rather get on train.

[Host]

Yeah. I think one thing that has reached this evolutionary endpoint is the pretzel. Dots Pretzels.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Host]

It's not an ad. It's not an ad call. It's just the truth Dot, God bless her, figured out how to make a pretzel.

[Big T]

But they keep making new flavors.

[Host]

Yeah, but it's the same. I. I count Dot. Whatever Dot does. Whatever Dot does. She's got the magic dot.

[Aryan]

I don't know.

[Host]

Yeah. Dot. They got the southwest flavor. They get the. The traditional seasoning. The honey mustard.

[Big T]

If you eat a Dots pretzel and say you still don't like pretzels. You like, like legit.

[Host]

You.

[Aryan]

You. Well, me then, because these are ass.

[Big T]

Do we have some of those here?

[Aryan]

No, I don't think not be eating that. The only pretzels that I give to y'. All. And I said. We said this when we talked about it, but the warm jones, where you dip in the. Either the mustard or the.

[Big T]

Yeah, those are outstanding.

[Aryan]

Now, that's a. That's a thing. But this hard, crunchy. Nah.

[Big T]

Honey wheat braided twist. That's a top tier.

[Aryan]

Now, I would say burgers have reached their evolutionary.

[Big T]

I was going to say the fried chicken sandwich. We're starting to get too cute with those. Let's keep it. We've reached. They're outstanding. We don't need to with them anymore.

[Host]

I agree on the burger standpoint.

[Aryan]

Nothing else you could do to it.

[Host]

The burger. You can put eggs and stuff on it. It gets too messy sometimes. You can build it higher. That makes it. Yeah. Putting an egg on occasion. Not bad.

[Aryan]

But I'm an egg guy.

[Host]

There's some of they. They try to stack them too high.

[Aryan]

That can't eat them. We had a three and A four patties. I'm out. Yeah, I think two is my max patty.

[Host]

You put wagyu beef in there and so we don't need wagyu be.

[Aryan]

Yeah, I don't need. I don't need my meat that soft.

[Host]

No, Paul. So you know, you do not.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Conversation is brought to you by a rock song. It's actually not. That was just a natural plug.

[Aryan]

I thought she was going into one also.

[Host]

What's crazy is we. We might have reached the peak of evolution on NFL passing yards. And you're like, hey, pft. It's kind of crazy because there's better quarterbacks and they change all the rules and it's easier to throw touchdowns every can't tackle. These guys can't touch the wide receivers. Well, the current record for total passing yards in a game was set.

[Aryan]

Let me, Let me guess. Okay.

[Big T]

Do you wanna. Do you want him to give us the year?

[Aryan]

I wanna, I wanna say it was Dan Marino.

[Host]

No.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Big T]

No. It's got to be somewhat. I would guess like, I don't think it's this era.

[Aryan]

I think it's like probably.

[Big T]

No, I think it's 2000s. Like maybe Peyton or Brees.

[Aryan]

I was. Yeah, maybe Drew Brees.

[Host]

I'm gonna go Drew Brees.

[Big T]

My guess is Peyton.

[Host]

Would it surprise you to know that the record single in a single game yard total.

[Aryan]

Vinny Testaverse.

[Host]

Norm Van Brocklin.

[Aryan]

That's perfect.

[Host]

He threw for 600, 554 yards.

[Aryan]

That's crazy.

[Host]

That'll get broke on September 28, 1951.

[Aryan]

Wow.

[Host]

1951.

[Aryan]

He was the first one to pass.

[Host]

Pretty crazy, right?

[Big T]

The running back just had to keep doing his day job. He had to fix an air conditioner. Had to throw it.

[Aryan]

Coach forgot the playbook.

[Host]

Isn't that wild though that like we're sending all sorts of passing records right now. That 1, 500. Because if, if you have a great first half, let's say you throw 300 yards in the first half. Your team's usually winning that game.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

So you don't really pass that much at the second half.

[Aryan]

They just didn't pass that much back.

[Host]

This guy did nvb.

[Aryan]

Wow. So what, what was the. What was his total for the year?

[Host]

Let's see here.

[Aryan]

What is it? Normal. Normal. Van Winkenstein.

[Host]

Norm Van Brocklin.

[Aryan]

There you go.

[Host]

Norm Van Brocklin is a 12 game season.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Mind you, the most yards he ever threw. 2,637.

[Aryan]

Jesus. One fourth of his yards came in one game.

[Host]

Yeah. Well, I guess 1 5th 1 right.

[Aryan]

You do the math.

[Host]

Yeah, about. About a fifth.

[Aryan]

That's wild.

[Host]

Pretty crazy.

[Aryan]

Yeah. No, I don't. I don't disagree. I also, I think as a whole, though, 300 yard games are more prevalent than they were back then, obviously. So maybe. So you're saying that the cap. We've reached the cap. Like, it's not going to.

[Host]

I just think it's interesting that it's been 75 years with that one stat.

[Aryan]

Right.

[Host]

And with all the great quarterbacks we've seen hasn't been broken. I do think that we're getting close to. Usain Bolt is probably getting close to how fast a human can run because no sprinters are built like him. No sprinter has that. The long strides and he. It was a mix of being insanely quick, great start, and also having those long legs and.

[Aryan]

Could have been juicing.

[Host]

Could have been juicing and the. I don't know, at some point humans just won't be able to run faster.

[Aryan]

And see, I know. I don't. I don't know about that because this is why I say this. If you look at the athleticism. Oh, his ain't gonna like this. But if you look at the athleticism in the NBA today versus 2000s versus 90s versus 80s, this is what we're doing. And like, I know now having a son that's training for basketball, you're getting them a trainer at. At 10 years old.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

And so the skill set is gonna just continue to grow as the business side of basketball becomes the driving force. So now it's lucrative to train younger athletes into being NBA stars. So our bodies. That's. To go back to my original point. That's how evolution is like. You react to your environment. Push your genes, your genes are gonna get better because environmentally, it is prosperous for you to be better athletically. So I think they're gonna. I think we're gonna get faster and stronger.

[Host]

Just that the records he set were just crazy.

[Aryan]

Yeah. He was above and beyond.

[Host]

You know, he never ran a mile his entire life. He's never really.

[Aryan]

So he must. I know he ran the four. So he was trained with the eight. Then.

[Host]

That's the longest that he ran. Yeah, he probably would have been very fast at that, too. All right, so we're gonna go do a little live stream right now. Where can they. Where can they watch it if it already went live?

[Maddie]

Our YouTube channel, MacroDosing.

[Host]

YouTube. Check it out. It's gonna be.

[Aryan]

Subscribe.

[Host]

Aryan verse, myself, big T and McKenzie. Best ball.

[Aryan]

Best ball.

[Host]

We playing nine yes. Nine holes. Nine holes.

[Aryan]

All right. I don't have my clubs.

[Host]

Oh, here we go.

[Aryan]

Just saying.

[Host]

Here we go. Here we go. How far are you driving these days?

[Aryan]

I've dialed back on trying to get length, and I've really just focused on it. So, like, if I really hit a good one, how I want to, I. I probably average around 270. 275.

[Host]

Okay. Interesting carry. Interesting. All right, we will see you guys on Thursday. Love you guys.
