Segment Breakdown & Key Discussion Points

1. Washington Commanders’ Stadium Name Drama & Trump’s Threats

• Quote: “I hate that I was so right about this.” – Arian Foster [02:34]

• Quote: “I have a hard time telling a Native American who's like, yeah, that's a slur…well actually, it’s not that offensive.” – Arian Foster [06:22]
• The issue gets tied back to political posturing, with Trump “playing the hits” for his base.
• Quote: “It’s something to get people amped up about going against PC woke culture. That’s what he excels at.” – Arian Foster [07:43]

Uniforms, Logos, and Nostalgia

• The co-hosts dunk on the Commanders’ logo, colors, and recent uniform redesigns.
• There’s a larger critique of the trend toward “generic” and uninspired contemporary sports logos. [09:53]
• Quote: “They all seem so generic, like you would see them as a create-a-team on a video game.” – Mad Dog McKenzie [10:14]

---

2. Late-Night TV Shakeups: Stephen Colbert’s Firing

• [12:33] Big T and Mad Dog McKenzie analyze Colbert’s removal: was it politics, waning ratings, or money?
• Quote: “It’s been reported his show loses $40 million a year. I just don’t know who watches these shows.” – Mad Dog McKenzie [13:37]
• Discussion of old vs. new late-night comedy, declining viewership, and whether partisanship killed the genre.

3. College Admissions and Debate Portfolio Controversy

• [31:03] The team discusses new “dialogues portfolios” for elite college admissions, where high schoolers are rated in peer debate sessions on "empathy, curiosity, and kindness."
• Sharp skepticism about whether real debate will be encouraged, or just ideological echo chambers.

---

4. Wedding Planning, City Hot Takes, and Offbeat Life Updates

• [20:06] Big T walks listeners through the foibles of finding a wedding venue, including vetting a location next to a sketchy casino and negotiating with his fiancée.
• Cost of high-end wedding venues in perspective: “I bet the Sphere would cost 3, 4 million.” – Mad Dog McKenzie [24:49]
• The hosts swap city hot takes: Austin’s skyline, Nashville’s boom, “next up” cities like Charleston, Tampa, Charlotte, and the eternal quest for an undiscovered California coast town. [54:43]

---

5. Conspiracies, Tulsi Gabbard, and Epstein Files Distraction

• [57:01] The latest on Tulsi’s claims about Obama/Clinton and the “Russia hoax”—the gang is largely unimpressed, with Mad Dog McKenzie declaring, “Nothing’s going to happen.”
• They pivot to the Jeffrey Epstein grand jury files, suspecting political theater meant to distract (with an aside about the vast, unexamined financial crimes likely lurking below the “sex stuff”).
• Quote: “Today we’re just using the word evidence and accusations interchangeably.” – Arian Foster [58:01]
• Discuss how modern “information dumps” are managed to promote confusion and prevent real accountability.

---

6. Listener Voicemails & Jersey Talk

• [64:25] Favorite non-homer sports jerseys: Cam Chancellor, David Ortiz (“had an arrangement with his wife—if he hit a triple, he could use the back door”), Deion Sanders, Ocho Cinco, various backup QBs.
• Memorable story: The David Ortiz “triple” lore – “All his boys are super amped…and knowing what we know now makes that sweeter.” – Arian Foster [65:31]

---

7. Choosing a College Football Fandom (Voicemail)

• [73:06] Transplant to South Carolina seeks advice, admits a growing secondary love for Tennessee via the show.
• Consensus: Clemson is a “cult,” Gamecocks are “generic” but fun, and rooting for Coastal Carolina would create a “house divided” due to a JMU rivalry.

---

8. Confidence in Podcasting & Saying What You Think (Voicemail)

• Quote: “The fact that I don’t live in communist England!” – Arian Foster (playing it up as ‘Gutfeld’) [80:37]

• Quote: “It's our real personality on here. Like, I'm not playing up a character.” – Big T [82:37]

---

9. Further Reflection on Team Names & Cultural Wars

• [83:53] Revisiting the “Redskins” and “Guardians” name changes: the hosts agree bland new names are worse than the act of change itself.
• Quote: “If you just made it something good, I won’t care.” – Mad Dog McKenzie [84:49]
• Lament that “Commanders” and “Guardians” are weak, fantasize about the “Washington Hogs” and the power of pig mascots.

Tone & Style

Conversational, irreverent, and densely packed with references—equal parts sports talk, cultural critique, and hangout banter. The hosts veer effortlessly from political sarcasm to nostalgia, weaving in running jokes and listener questions. The tone is relatable, cheeky, and provocative, without veering into cynicism.

---

Summary

In signature Macrodosing form, the crew takes a would-be political headline (Trump’s stadium threats) and uses it to launch into broader debates on nostalgia, fandom, and American cultural divides. Team names become metaphors for society’s endless pearl clutching, and every major story is filtered through the panel’s sardonic, sports-infused worldview. Whether mocking late-night TV, dissecting college admissions, or fielding voicemails with their biting humor, Arian, Big T, and Mad Dog keep things lively, skeptical, and always tethered to the real, weird America.

[Arian Foster]

Welcome back to Nano Dosing. It is Tuesday. It's July 22nd. We're back in the studio. Myself, Big t, Mad Dog McKenzie. What do we want to get into right off the rip? Because there was some big news that's, that's pertinent to my, my emotional state as a sports fan.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I actually think this weekend, or at least since the last show, may be the most news we've like there's so many things that have happened. I feel like we've, we've been gone.

[Arian Foster]

For three weeks, there's been a ton. So I don't know if we can track down what I said, like, six months ago, five months ago on this show when I said, I really hope that nobody from Donald Trump's staff listens to macrodosing, but I predict that if he finds out that if that the. The new commander's stadium is located on federal land, he will then try to force a name change in exchange for it. Can we look that up? I hate that I was so right about this. I hate that I was so right. So Trump said. And you know what the worst part about this was? He gave kind of a banger nickname that I fear will stick around for my beloved commanders. Called them the Washington Whatevers.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I missed that.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, the.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That's good.

[Arian Foster]

The initial statement. The Washington Whatevers should immediately change your name back to the Washington Redskins football team. I don't know if it was ever the Washington Redskins football team. It's a Washington football team.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Right? Would you want to. Would you want to do a combination there?

[Arian Foster]

Washington Redskins football team. Yeah, that's actually not bad. There's a big clamoring for this. Likewise the Cleveland Indians, one of the original six baseball teams with a storied past. Our great Indian people in massive numbers want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a country of passion, common sense, owners get it done. And then he went on to. He kind of doubled down on it later because he got a lot of. He was saying good, good support from, from that post. Listen, I knew that this was going to happen. I knew I didn't want it to happen, but I had a pretty good feeling that if you need to push the culture war button, this was going to be the one that, that he would go for. I don't know that he actually has the power to do anything because it's already been kicked over to the D.C. city Council. I think as long as the D.C. city Council doesn't drag their feet anymore on it, which they have already, but as long as they don't drag their feet too much longer, I don't think it's going to make a difference. And I think they'll just stay the commanders and they'll. They'll go to the RFK lot. I think the time for him to do this probably would have been eight months ago before Congress kicked it over to the D.C. city Council, but he can probably find a way.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Wait, so Congress did have something to do with the stadium deal.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. So the way that, that, that piece of land is administrated, it's property of the federal government, but then it's administrated by the D.C. city Council. So in the bill that they passed last November, what they did was they authorized the Washington, D.C. city Council to then make a choice of what to do with the land. So that's already been kicked over to D.C. okay. So it's no longer technically in the hands of the federal government. Right now. If you had said this in October, then. Yeah, that would have screwed everything up. Or November, like, right after he got elected. If he had. If he had said this in November, that probably would have messed everything up. It might be too late. I think it might already. The die might have been cast. So I've talked about the name a little bit. I don't really feel anything when I hear the Washington Commanders. It doesn't really resonate because it's a new name and it's a shitty name that Dan Snyder invented. But if they win, then it's great. If they lose, it's a shitty name. The logo kind of sucks. The new uniform, the throwback uniforms are awesome.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Those do look way better, don't they?

[Arian Foster]

They said that they weren't going to change the colors too much when they switched up the uniforms. They did. Yeah, they did. It's not. It's no longer the burgundy, it's no longer the gold. It's like a weird, like, wine red.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Which kind of sucks.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

The logo's terrible.

[Arian Foster]

Logo's terrible. Logo's very, very bad. But when it comes to the name, I'm like, I'm. I'm torn on it because I grew up rooting for the Redskins football team.

[Big T]

Right.

[Arian Foster]

Like, everyone that was a fan of Redskins, we didn't think of it as being a slur. It was just a football team that we rooted for. So, like, I have emotional connection to that name. But also, I've talked with a lot of Native Americans in the past about this. There are. There is a good percentage of them that don't like the name. There are some that are fine with it, like the new Native American Guardians association that's been passing around that change.org for a while, that their mission is to get all the old Native American names back, all the old imagery back. I think the imagery for the Redskins logo was pretty respectful. I think that if you worked out a deal with the Blackfeet tribe, then it would be probably a win. Win all around. But I have a Hard time telling a Native American that's like, yeah, that's, that's a slur. I don't like that name. Have a hard time being like, well, actually, it's not that offensive. Here's why. You know, like, that's a tough conversation to have, but there are some that really like the name. So I, I just wish that it wasn't politicized. I just wish that we could, we could play football.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Why does Trump care?

[Arian Foster]

Because it's a culture war thing and he can, he wins. He wins on the culture wars. Like, this is his bread and butter.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Right. But this doesn't even seem like something that many people care about anymore.

[Arian Foster]

But it's something to get people amped up about, like going against PC woke culture, that whole thing. That's, that's what he excels at. And so he's, he's had a rough couple last weeks, so he's, he's playing the hits. Make Indians great again, Miga. That's what he said. I don't, I don't think that they're going to change it back, no matter how much political pressure Trump puts on him. Unless he does find a way to, to, like, go back on the stadium. What would you call that? Big T. If, if the, if the federal government authorized something, they gave it and then now they want to take it away. They want to rescind the gift that they gave. What's the phrase, what's the common phrase for that?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Are you, are you leading to something? I don't know.

[Arian Foster]

You give something and then you, you take the gift back.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think you're talking about Indian giving.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, that's what, that's what he's going to try to do with this.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So.

[Arian Foster]

I don't know. I don't know. What are your thoughts on a big T?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I don't care. Do whatever. Like, it makes no difference to me. I will watch the. Probably the exact same number of Washington football team commander Redskins games, regardless of what the name is.

[Arian Foster]

I would just like to not. I would like to go like three years without changing the name.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, but this would probably be a more permanent move than, like, if you, if you change it back to the thing that you got rid of, you can never change it again. It has to just stay.

[Arian Foster]

It has to stay at that point. Yeah, I don't think it's going to change back, but, I mean, Josh Harris did grow up rooting for the Washington Redskins. That was like his team.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

The uniforms is a good step. Although from my understanding, they're still, they still have the shitty ones.

[Arian Foster]

They're going to be wearing the shitty ones for almost every game.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, see, that's so stupid.

[Arian Foster]

But they're gonna wear these as the alternate, like the first alter, which I. I think that they'll do it this year and everybody loves them. I'm. I'm gonna spend so much money on the new uniforms. I have to. But then I think they're going to try to incorporate that more in the future because people are going to love it.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I actually have a take on logos generally. Recently. Every new logo that has come out in the last five years or so, they all kind of suck. And more than suck, they all seem so generic. Like. Like you would see them as a. Create a team on a video game.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think the best one is probably the Utah Mammoth. Is that what they are? The hockey team? That one's pretty good, I think. But like most of them, I'm trying to think of the other ones now. Obviously Kraken's good. Actually, that was a little while ago, but like the. The Washington football team, the. I need to have a list in front of me. They just all seem so generic.

[Arian Foster]

Well, it was weird because in the. The early 2000s, all the logos that came out right around then, we thought that they were awesome at the time. And then 10 years later, we were like, actually, these are all shitty because they were all futuristic and very angular. Like the Washington Wizards logo, for example.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

You look at that and you're like, that sucks. What a terrible logo. Because around the turn of the century, everybody thought, we're living in the future. Right now. It's the 21st century.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Well, like, half the NFL logos are like that.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Like, the Panthers is like that. The Texans is like that.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, Jags. That was the worst era, I think, for logo redesigns. Now it's. It's like that. You get kind of too boring with it. You're afraid to take any chances.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

The Marlins new logo sucks. I'd have to look up and down a whole list, but most of the newer ones are not good.

[Arian Foster]

I just hate that I was right about this. But I. I saw this. I know Donnie. I know Donnie. Pretty good. Got inside his brain on this one. So I. I don't think it's going to change back, but we'll see what happens. Stand by. Thank you for attention. This matter.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I do like. Thank you for your attention to this matter. It's a good. It's a good ender.

[Arian Foster]

The Washington whatevers is so good. It's so good.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That does names, man, such a good.

[Arian Foster]

I. We're gonna lose games. People are gonna be like, the Washington whatevers. It's gonna suck. I'm gonna have to deal with that.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

He has no fewer than seven or eight people who would otherwise be. I mean, not. But you look at them and you know his name for them.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Sleepy Joe, Crooked Hillary, Little Marco, Lion Ted. On and on it goes.

[Arian Foster]

Pocahontas.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

All right. What else do we want to get into? Big T. Right after. What was your favorite news story of the weekend?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

My favorite. Colbert got canned.

[Arian Foster]

He did get.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I don't know if it's my favorite. It was probably the biggest one.

[Arian Foster]

He got canned. So a lot of people drew some. Some conclusions that he got fired because he spoke out against CBS settling the lawsuit with Trump. And I think that there is a lot of truth to that, that CBS settled the lawsuit in order to make their massive merger possible. I think that's probably. There's. There's definitely an element of truth to that.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But you don't think that's why they got rid of Colbert? Surely not.

[Arian Foster]

I think my best guess is that Colbert might have known that it was about to be nut. Cut in time. And so he said, I'm gonna go all in, and I'm just gonna. I'm gonna rip the band aid off.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Well, that's fine. That's different.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. And so then he started to speak out against the parent company, knowing that there was a good possibility that his show was going to get canceled.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That's different, though.

[Arian Foster]

That is different. Yeah, that's my guess. But I don't. I have zero insight behind the scenes.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I didn't see where the figure originated from, but it's been reported that his show loses $40 million a year.

[Arian Foster]

I just don't know who watches these shows.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Well, I. Did I send it to you? Yeah, I did. The. The average viewer of Letterman was 60 years old, and when they hired Colbert, they were like, great, we'll get a younger audience. His average viewer now is 68.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. I guess that's the demographic for who watches Late Night Live TV shows.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

My great grandmother loved the Tonight Show.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. With. Was that back in the day with Leno?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Oh, I'm sure she watched Carson. Yeah. From Carson Albish. When. When I was around, it was Jay Leno.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. The. I think the. The majority of people consume these shows based on whatever clips pop up on your timelines.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Like the next day, maybe a clip that makes you angry. That I think they. I think the Colbert Report probably got more anger views than positive views online.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Well, you said, you, you said the Colbert Report. That show was funny.

[Arian Foster]

Oh, that's right. Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I mean, that was essential. Yeah, he. And then he, he got this show and decided to just be like. I don't know if partisan hack is the right terminology.

[Arian Foster]

I don't know if you can say partisan hack about, about Stephen Colbert because he's, he is like a massive Ronald Reagan guy. I remember reading a profile about him a while ago and he had a giant portrait of Reagan that hung up in his office. He really loved him.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But he's, he is not shy that he's anti Trump on the left.

[Arian Foster]

Anti Trump for sure.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

And every. I saw a list of every political figure he had on his show in 2024, and every single one of them was a Democrat.

[Arian Foster]

Dave Portnoy. No, he was on Fallon. My bad.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

He was on Fallon. My bad. That was the other day.

[Arian Foster]

Screw that up. Yeah, well, Pete. Pete the Beagle was on. Was on Fallon. And Ms. Peaches. Yeah. What a wonderful evening of television that was. So he's. Yeah, he's fired. They said that the show lost 40 million a year. I'm guessing that some of this stuff has been leaked by the network to kind of fire back at the accusations that he got fired because of what he said about the merger. I just don't know who watches these shows like Big T said it was. It's a older audience, the average viewer, 68 years old. But the boomers, they, the boomers do love a, A good, like anti president show. Like Jay Leno, when he was doing the Monica Lewinsky stuff, he rode high off that for about two years, three years now.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Maybe you can tell me about this because I was Jay Leno, a political guy. I don't ever remember Jay Leno doing any political stuff.

[Arian Foster]

Every night. The Clinton Lewinsky stuff, is that political?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I mean, that was the number one story in America.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

And it kind of. That transcends politics, really. That wasn't a.

[Arian Foster]

Did you ever read that report?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

The. Was Ken Starr.

[Arian Foster]

The Ken Starr report?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

No.

[Arian Foster]

Oh, man. When the Ken Starr report came out, that was. That was the biggest thing that ever happened to the world. People were going through it. He put a cigar in her vagina. Some wild stuff happened with that. He was getting a blowjob while talking to a senator one time in the Oval Office.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I mean, that's Slick Willie.

[Arian Foster]

That's Slick Willie for you. No, you're right. That's not like overtly. It is about the president, but it was like whoever the president was, if they're getting dome in the White House and putting cigars and vaginas, I think that's going to be.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I mean, you couldn't be a late night host and not talk about Monica Lewinsky.

[Arian Foster]

Right.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But like, when Bush or Obama was president, I don't really remember him.

[Arian Foster]

I think when Bush was, there was a lot of just like intelligence jokes.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Sure.

[Arian Foster]

Just like making fun of him being dumb. But no, he wasn't as overtly political, I don't think.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

And like, Fallon doesn't really do that.

[Arian Foster]

No, not really. Fallon's a party guy. I did see a clip of George W. Bush that's going viral on TikTok, talking about, like, how good we had it when George Bush was president. I had forgotten about this one. This banger that he put out. He's campaigning, right? It's like 1999. He's campaigning against Al Gore. Everyone says Al Gore, so smart. I say he's a smart guy, genius. He invented the Internet. Well, if he's so smart, how come every website starts with W?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, I've seen some awesome edits of that on TikTok. I mean, banger.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, Great joke. Great joke. I still think to this day that George W. Bush should have been commissioner, Major League Baseball. And I did a. I did a bad job. When I interviewed Rob Manford on Pardon My Take, I should have asked him because he was around as George W. Bush was, like, talking about one day becoming the commissioner. Like, did he feel any pressure that W. Was going to take the job that he would want from Selig and how good a job you think he would have done? I think he would have been an awesome MLB commissioner. Yeah, he would have been the best MLB commissioner.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Did you ever actually have to put WWW at the beginning of websites?

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

When did that stop?

[Arian Foster]

You know, I'm not. I'm not totally sure. I think it was right around the same time that when you could just like type in your Google search into the address bar and hit enter. I think it was probably around then there were some websites that kicked it over. I remember when ESPN first came out with their website. You know what it was?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I'm gonna guess it's not espn.com?

[Arian Foster]

I think it was espn sportsnet.com. there might have been something else that was in there too. But people, when they. When these big companies first started getting their websites and their web addresses, they didn't think, like, let's just make it super simple. They would have to put Something like kind of futuristic, like, Sports Zone that just didn't really have any meaning to it. And then it would kick you right over to like, espn go dot com.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I'm seeing that it was never required.

[Arian Foster]

Never required. So I spent all that time typing in www.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

While it was a common convention in the early days of the World Wide Web, it was never actually required and was largely dropped by the late 90s and early 2000s.

[Arian Foster]

That's crazy, because I spent so much of my life typing in www.I remember doing it. Yeah, they had you fooled. Yeah. Big T, I want to ask you about your weekend, specifically in relation to wedding planning and how much fun that's been for you. This is just a never ending treasure trove of teed offs. The. The first thing I thought about when Big T got engaged was, I cannot wait to see how upset he gets at wedding planning. So, so much rigamarole.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So I actually think we may have. We may have found the spot the other day. But prior to that, earlier last week, we went and toured a place that. So let me. Let me set the scene for you. You remember the casino that we went to for your 40th birthday party?

[Arian Foster]

Yes.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Fun time, good time. How would you describe that area of town?

[Arian Foster]

Not the part of town that you would want to walk out with money that you just won from a casino in.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Okay, this place is directly next door. I mean, here's the casino that. Here's the spot. You have to be buzzed in like it's a Manhattan jewelry store into this place. So we got. Already. I'm like, no, this is not.

[Arian Foster]

Not gonna be a thing wedding night.

[Sponsor Voice 3]

You would.

[Arian Foster]

Your guests would have to buzz in one at a time.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

They say they have security out there to usher people in, to which I responded, I would love a place that doesn't require security.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So you walk in, there's this tiny little room smaller than the room we're in now. It looks like you're in a funeral home. I'm like this. I mean, we haven't even gotten to the thing yet.

[Arian Foster]

So the.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

The place is. It's billed as outdoors.

[Arian Foster]

Okay.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

The. The thing that's out, you walk through this door and you go out into this little courtyard that's just the. In the center of all these buildings. So you're surrounded by buildings. There's just not a roof over you. And the thing, like the aisle where you would get married is shorter than from here to that wall.

[Arian Foster]

Okay.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

And they're like, oh, well, your guests, you'll. You'll Spread out like super wide. I'm like, okay, whatever, dude. There's like rusted staircases up because you're just in the middle of these buildings.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

And also the back wall that you're looking at just looks into other businesses. Like there's a little store and stuff in there. I'm like, this is not, not going to be a thing. The room where you would have the reception was nice enough is fine. But like the, it was just not a good spot. And again, in a not where you want to have a wedding, we leave and my fiance goes, I love it. I said, you're not being serious. There's no chance. You loved it. And I said, I'm, I'm using my, my one veto. We're just not. That's not going to be the place. So then we went to another place on Saturday and I think that might be a winner.

[Arian Foster]

All right.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Excited about it?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, it's great.

[Arian Foster]

Wedding vineyards. It. Some of them are just like, we have room. We have a room that you can get married.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

And this place was expensive. I was like, how.

[Arian Foster]

What about the barstool office? What if we just turn the barstool office.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That's not on the list.

[Arian Foster]

The most romantic destination on planet Earth.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Because then it would be a, a content thing as well.

[Arian Foster]

No. Officiated by Nicky Smokes. Yeah, no thanks, Mincy the ring bearer.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

No, no, thank you.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But yeah, there's just all sorts of stuff and like every conversation you have, like with my parents, I guess for the next year is just going to be about this.

[Arian Foster]

It's gonna be about weddings. Yeah. About planning.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I'm instituting at least one. I would love to get two days a week where there's just no wedding talk allowed.

[Arian Foster]

Just ban it. Ban it on Fridays.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, I, I, I, I need to. I feel like I might only get one, but I'll take what I can get.

[Arian Foster]

Do they do weddings at the Sphere? I feel like a wedding at the.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Sure. For the right price.

[Arian Foster]

Be amazing. How much you think that would cost? Like 250, 000, bro.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Not even close.

[Arian Foster]

500.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

There is a restaurant around here that I'm. You have to have been to. And we inquired as to how much that would cost and it was 90.

[Arian Foster]

Jesus.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's great restaurants.

[Arian Foster]

Get married outside. Just find a plot of land, pop up. Wedding.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That's what I said.

[Arian Foster]

I'll drop a pen. Morning of. Yeah, it's gonna be in Chicago. Get there if you can.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I bet the sphere would cost 3,4 million.

[Arian Foster]

Can we look that up. See if you can rent out the Sphere.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

There's a place in Knoxville that costs, like, 900 grand, and that's just a farm in Knoxville.

[Arian Foster]

I thought you were gonna say the Sunsphere. No, that's the original.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

You could probably get the Sunsphere for.

[Arian Foster]

Pretty cheap, I think. So that might be.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That might be something.

[Arian Foster]

They should do weddings up there.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I don't know how big it is. I've never been in it.

[Arian Foster]

I think it's big enough.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think it's a restaurant, dude.

[Arian Foster]

Getting married inside the Sunsphere. You're like, yeah, we're getting married at the Sphere.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

I'm seeing. I don't know what, like, the price for, like, an event would be, but it says the exterior LED screen can be booked for $450,000 per day.

[Arian Foster]

That's just to have your advertisement or whatever you want on the outside.

[Big T]

Right.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

So I don't know if they would do. It's saying you can book them, but it's not giving a price.

[Big T]

Yeah, it's. I don't. It's.

[Arian Foster]

Probably have to call.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Oh, yeah. If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

[Big T]

Yeah, exactly.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Exactly.

[Arian Foster]

James Dolan will be like, where do you work again?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I forgot. It's him. Yeah.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

You're banned.

[Big T]

Wait, James Dolan owns that?

[Arian Foster]

Oh, yeah.

[Big T]

Oh, I did that.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Part of the MSG Network. I actually learned the Chicago theater is owned by MSG as well.

[Arian Foster]

Oh, I forgot that.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah. Went there for Daniel Tosh a few weeks ago.

[Arian Foster]

He's still around.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Oh, yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Was he funny?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Good show.

[Arian Foster]

He had a great show, man. Tosh. Point.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Oh, I don't know if I've told you this. I went to see him do stand up in Knoxville when I was in college, and he came out dressed up as Lane Kiffin. He came out in a USC polo and visor, and everybody started booing him. He said, shut the fuck up. I left for a better job.

[Arian Foster]

He does look a lot like.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's crazy.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Also, Lane's looking skinny, isn't he? Have you seen him?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I haven't noticed any difference.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, he looks good. For a while, he was. He was getting a little chunky. Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That was years ago, though.

[Arian Foster]

Good, clean living. Do you still hate him?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think he's pretty funny, honestly. Yeah, I kind of. I like that he pokes and prods.

[Arian Foster]

If you were to do a power ranking of the most hated former Tennessee Vol coaches, who would be number one?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Butch Jones. Not even close. Okay, then probably Kiffin. Jeremy Pruitt. I think People dislike, but he. The difference in Jeremy Pruitt and Butch Jones is. Jeremy Pruitt is just. He got a job for which he probably was not qualified. And I think at the. At the core of his being, he's a. He's just a simple man. So I don't blame him for that. Butch Jones is a vindictive, asshole piece of shit. So that's why I hate Butch Jones.

[Arian Foster]

What about Dooley again?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Just actually, have you ever, like, listened to Derek Dooley talk?

[Arian Foster]

Not really.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Very intelligent guy. Like, he's. He has a law degree. He's very smart. Yeah, he just didn't. Wasn't a great football coach, which is fine. Happens.

[Arian Foster]

The only thing I've heard him say is the shower discipline stuff.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

You guys like shower discipline? Got to get inside your ass when you scrub.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

You heard him talk about Rommel?

[Arian Foster]

No.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

You should look. You should look up that clip, the Desert Fox. I don't even remember what exactly he's referencing, but he's doing a press conference and he's. He's holding pretend binoculars and he's like, where's Rommel? We're looking for Rommel. I forget what he's talking about.

[Big T]

You.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

You'd have to just watch it. Okay. But yeah, he's. He's an attorney.

[Arian Foster]

I look into it.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's a smart guy.

[Arian Foster]

I'll look into it. Congrats to live of the year, Jersey Jerry. Very impressive.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Two or three time.

[Arian Foster]

I think it's back to back. I don't know. I. I don't really keep that close tabs on it. Mayor Pete said it was. It was back to back. Excuse me, Secretary. Mayor Pete said that? And then congratulate Jerry on online. And then Harry Sisson also waited and said, congratulations.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Oh, really?

[Arian Foster]

To Jerry the kid.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah. I didn't see that.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. So Jerry's pretty. Pretty pumped. I. I know that he rejected the award on the. On the Takeies award show, but I've heard some behind the scenes chatter that he might be willing to change his tune and accept the award in exchange for. He didn't know that there was a cash prize. We told him after the fact there was a cash prize.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

How. How much?

[Arian Foster]

The cash prize has bounced back and forth. We told him 50 grand. Cash prize.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

What?

[Arian Foster]

But we said that unfortunately, since he had rejected the award, then that money will be donated to Planned Parenthood and PETA as. As we do with all the award money.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

As he would want.

[Arian Foster]

As he would want. But then Jerry said, wait, wait. I want to accept. I want to accept it. And we said, well, maybe we can get some of the money back for Planned Parenthood. We'll have to see. We'll have to see what happens with this. But, yeah, the cash prize was a game changer for him.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Was this the 10th takeies?

[Arian Foster]

This was the 9th.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Okay. Y' all are coming up on 10.

[Arian Foster]

Coming up on year 10. Yeah. I don't think that we did take ease in year one.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Well, you're coming up on year 11. It's. Or, yeah, it'll be 10 years.

[Arian Foster]

So it'll be 10 years next March.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Next.

[Arian Foster]

The last day of February. I don't know if next year's a leap year or not.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

You will have completed 10 years.

[Arian Foster]

We'll have completed 10 years. But we've only done nine takeies so far. Yeah. So next year will be the 10th takeies. And we want to get all the Blakes together to do an award show for. For Blake of the year. Like an in person Blake challenge. That's the idea.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Lucy's the obvious choice for a true nicotine pouch connoisseurs. That's why they're official nicotine pouch partner of barstool sports. They go up to 12 milligrams in strength and have unique shape. That feels great. We all use the breakers. They're the only pouches with a hydration capsule inside. They're a totally new kind of pouch only available from Lucy. You pop it in your mouth, break it with your teeth, and it's instantly hydrated, releasing that nicotine faster, and it's a burst of flavor. No other pouch has that. I promise you that. Gas station pouches get the job done. But once you've tried, Lucy, you won't want anything else in your pocket.

[Arian Foster]

But in this, in this bit of news that you sent over big T about college admissions, can you explain this to me?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So I'll just read. I believe this is from the New York Times. I'll just read the excerpt. This fall, an expanding number of top schools, including Columbia, mit, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt, and the University of Chicago will begin accepting quote dialogues portfolios from Schoolhouse World, a platform co founded by Sal Khan, the founder of Khan Academy, which helps students with math skills and SAT prep. High schoolers will log into a zoom call with other students and a peer tutor, debate topics like immigration or Israel, Palestine, and rate one another on traits such as empathy, curiosity or kindness. The Schoolhouse World site offers a scorecard. The more sessions you attend and the more that your fellow participants recognize your virtues, the better you do.

[Arian Foster]

So this is Going to be just people that log in and have these sorts of debates and everybody rates each other very high, right?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Oh, I, I disagree. Oh, vehemently.

[Arian Foster]

I, I think it's going to be like, hey, you have rate everybody high because we're all trying to get into college here.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

You don't think that of the schools I listed, I would say most people applying there have a pretty strong ideological bent. One way you think if someone offers an opinion that disagrees with them that they're gonna, they're gonna love that?

[Arian Foster]

I don't know.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So the, the 18 year olds going to Columbia, MIT and the University of Chicago.

[Arian Foster]

Well, empathy, curiosity, kindness, you. That's kind of agnostic to whatever you're arguing about, right?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think if you offer a differing opinion to an 18 year old of, of the ilk that I'm referencing, they would say you lack empathy, curiosity and kindness.

[Arian Foster]

So is it mandatory to use this platform?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I don't know.

[Arian Foster]

You'll begin accepting dialogues portfolios from Schoolhouse Dot World, tell students with math skills and SAT prep.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

No, that's just saying. The guy who started this website also started Khan Academy, which is a website that has videos to help you with math and stuff.

[Arian Foster]

Okay, got it. Yeah, I, I feel like most people that are in the college admissions game are going to be like an understanding. Okay, you did a good job. We're going good score for you.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But it seems like a lot of the scores are coming from the other 18 year olds you're doing it with.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, I just could see it being a circle jerk where everyone scores each other very high.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think if they agree with you, it will be.

[Arian Foster]

We'll see. We'll see. With mit, Johns Hopkins, those two in particular feel like if you're applying to those schools, it's not really about ideology. It's more about just wanting to be really good at math or really good at medicine.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Do you think this should be a thing?

[Arian Foster]

It's not. I don't think it's mandatory.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But should it exist at all? What does this have to do with.

[Arian Foster]

I think that the schools want to see what kind of a person you are. Like if you're able to have a good conversation with people.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But that's never been a thing until now.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, but like the, the essay portion. Yeah, you're testing whether or not the person can write, whether they can make a convincing argument more effectively or like how introspective they are.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Okay, but that's always existed. So why do we need the empathy and kindness? Peer to peer, I guess to see.

[Arian Foster]

To see, like, what you're like as a person as opposed to just your writing. I think it's testing a lot of the same stuff. But how do you communicate as a person as opposed to just via. Via text?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Do you think topics such as immigration in Israel and Palestine are actually designed to curate empathy or designed to see how you think about certain things? A different lens.

[Arian Foster]

I need to click on this link where it says debate topics like immigration or Israel, Palestine, because I don't know if that's an example of things that have happened in the past or if that's what they're going to be debating in the future. Like, what website was this from?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Was this.

[Arian Foster]

Looks like Wall Street Journal text, maybe?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, I'm trying to find it right now.

[Arian Foster]

I'm pretty good at identifying fonts. Oh, nope, that's New York Times.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I thought it was New York Times.

[Arian Foster]

New York Times Opinion. The opinion section. Spring before I applied to college, the guidance counselors at my private school heard it. Or mostly white grade into the gym. Oh, shoot, I'm out of free articles.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Put it into archive Ph.

[Arian Foster]

Okay.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Not that I do that.

[Arian Foster]

I'm just. I'm so glad I don't have to apply for college right now. It sounds like such a pain in the ass. What do they test you on when you guys applied? Was it just essays? Just scores?

[Big T]

Like, Common app?

[Arian Foster]

What's that?

[Big T]

It's a website where you can apply to most schools all at once. So it's one application, and you pick which schools to send it to so you don't have to fill out like 10 different applications for, you know, the same thing. And that's your. Yeah, like all of your school records. Like your grades, your ACT or sat. But now it's funky because of COVID a lot of schools are test optional, but, like McKenzie, me, Big T, all had to do your act, Sat, which is another.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

I had to do them. But, like, some of the schools, I didn't have to send them.

[Big T]

Oh, really?

[Sponsor Voice 2]

So I didn't because it wasn't that good.

[Big T]

Oh, I was like the school I went to.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Like, I'm pretty sure I didn't send my scores.

[Big T]

And then it's your essay. Yeah. Like your personal essay.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Big T]

And then like volunteer experience.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Like your resume, basically.

[Big T]

Yeah, like, basically your resume. But it was like grades, ACT score, essay, resume.

[Arian Foster]

So this looks like it's kind of like optional. Like, you don't have to have this profile to apply for, like going to Vanderbilt.

[Big T]

It's like a supplemental.

[Arian Foster]

It's something that you can add to it. Just like you could add, here's Debate Club. Here's my. Here's my letters of recommendation for my Debate Club sponsor.

[Big T]

I feel like a lot of the schools you just named, though, are extremely elite institutions that you are trying to get any leg up you can.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Big T]

So most people, I think, will do it if it's. If they think it's going to give them a higher chance of admission.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. It just seems like such a pain in the ass to try to get into college right now. And there's always going to be an element of you have to try to play up or fake what you think they want to hear.

[Big T]

Right.

[Arian Foster]

Like, when you're writing an essay to get into college, you might tailor that for whatever school you're applying to. Just say what you think they want to hear so that they let you in. And then once you're there, it's like, okay, forget everything that I told them.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Big T]

It's like a job interview.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Did you guys get into any of your reach schools when you applied? Like, any of the. The, like, shots in the dark that you took? Like, my dream school would be.

[Big T]

I'm gonna be honest, I didn't really apply to any of them.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Yeah, I didn't either. I, like, applied to Notre Dame for fun, but I didn't get it, so I guess that would be mine.

[Arian Foster]

But, yeah, for fun.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Just to say I kept my expectations extremely.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Realistic reach.

[Big T]

Yes.

[Arian Foster]

Big T. Was it always University of Tennessee or bust?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I had other schools that I was going to apply to, but I applied to Tennessee, like, super early and got in and knew that I was going to go to ut, so then I really didn't even end up applying to any others.

[Arian Foster]

Did you tailor your high school career based off of what the University of Tennessee was looking for?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

No.

[Arian Foster]

What would you have done if you didn't get into Tennessee?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I mean, that was never on the table. You just know, dude, it's actually harder to get in now than it was when I applied, but I was never not getting into the University of Tennessee.

[Arian Foster]

What was the criteria back then?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I don't know. Way lower than anything I ever would have had to worry about.

[Arian Foster]

Okay.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But now, the last couple of years, like, I think the acceptance rate has gone from, like, 75% to, like, way under 50. Like, because we've gotten good at sports and kids from out of state want to go, and it's become a much better school.

[Arian Foster]

That's how it goes, man. Jmu. I got in with a I think I had a 3, 4 in high school. Got in with that. I don't think I would have gotten into JMU now. And it's because we got good at sports.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah. UT is at 46% now.

[Arian Foster]

Like, JMU being having a number next to your football team. Like when it says 25. James Madison University, guess what. Your school's gonna be much harder to get into next year.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Kind of crazy how that works. I got. Yeah, I got rejected by all my dream schools.

[Big T]

What were your dream schools?

[Arian Foster]

Unc. Yeah. Wanted to go to unc. I did also apply to uva. I thought I wanted to go to uva. Got rejected from there, applied to Virginia Tech, which was not a dream school. But, like, everyone from my high school went there, got waitlisted at Virginia Tech, got into jmu, and then I had a bunch of friends at JMU that got in off the wait list at JMU that got accepted into Virginia Tech. So. It's weird.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Last year, UT's mid 50% ACT score out of state was a 29 to 32.

[Arian Foster]

Is that good?

[Sponsor Voice 2]

What?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Isn't 33 like, 36?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

36 is the highest. But, like, above a 28 is, like, pretty good.

[Big T]

Yeah. And then sometimes they do super score, and they take your best from every time you've taken it.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I believe UT does that.

[Big T]

Miami did that.

[Arian Foster]

The super score.

[Big T]

Yeah. So I took the ACT like, three times. And then you could take your best score from each section of all three times. Bumped up your score a couple points. Yeah.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Interesting.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

4.08 to 4.5. Mid 50% GPA.

[Arian Foster]

Whoa.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Wow.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So that means 25% of the kids that are getting into Tennessee now have a gpa higher than 4.5.

[Arian Foster]

That's. And how do you get a gpa higher than 4.5?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, I don't. AP classes will, like. Like, an A. And an AP class class is like, five, I think.

[Arian Foster]

Oh, it's a five now?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think.

[Arian Foster]

I don't think it was. Okay.

[Big T]

Honors is usually like a 4.5, and then an AP is usually a 5.

[Arian Foster]

I think that's crazy.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I believe.

[Arian Foster]

What is the biggest school that is the easiest to get into?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That's a good question.

[Arian Foster]

Like the. The one with the highest. I want to say Kansas State has.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Are you saying the most students? Because if it's most students, it's definitely Arizona State.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

If you're saying, like.

[Arian Foster]

Like, we're talking big.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

The best reputation.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Yeah. Big state school, good sports programs. What's the easiest one to get into?

[Big T]

I was gonna say Bama, but I don't think it's Bama.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Well, Bama is kind of had the thing that Tennessee's had recently where, like, they. It's become a much better school, honestly. It might be Tennessee or Alabama. It's definitely. It's got to be an SEC school, right?

[Arian Foster]

You would think so.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Ole Miss. Ole Miss. I think it's Ole Miss.

[Arian Foster]

You think so?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, because I think it still hasn't caught up to the. With the, the academic side that some of those others have. But everyone wants to go to Ole Miss now.

[Arian Foster]

Okay. I'm looking at easiest schools to get into right now.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I'm sorry, is this, Is this a real number? I just looked up Ole Miss's acceptance rate.

[Arian Foster]

What is it?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I'm seeing 97.8%.

[Big T]

I believe it's.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That can't be right. That can't be right.

[Big T]

Ole Miss. I, I. And no offense to all of the Ole Miss people. Hottie Toddy. I, I don't believe it is an extremely competitive school at all to get it.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That can't be correct. That's. That's an outrageous number. It was 85. Okay. 98. Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

What do you have to do to get rejected from Ole Miss?

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Imagine.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That was in 2023. So maybe they've gotten it down to, like, 93 or so, but 90. Oh, did it's 90 right now?

[Big T]

No, I'm just saying it's still in the.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Oh, no, I was, I was joking. But, yeah, like, LSU is 74%.

[Arian Foster]

Okay.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Alabama, 76. I'm surprised they're still that high. That was in 2023. But.

[Arian Foster]

Gonzaga, 76. Auburn, 71. Michigan State, 83%. Indiana, 85.

[Big T]

Indiana. That seems shockingly high. Indiana's good school.

[Arian Foster]

Iowa, 86%.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Let's see.

[Arian Foster]

Kansas State, Oregon.

[Big T]

I'm seeing an 86% acceptance rate as well. Arizona State, 90%.

[Arian Foster]

Kansas State down to 80%.

[Big T]

George Mason, 90%.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Mason. I could see that.

[Big T]

Oh, really?

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Kind of a commuter school, too.

[Big T]

Oh.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

What do you think is the sneakiest good school? That's a big school. Because I have an answer.

[Arian Foster]

Sneakiest one. That's the hardest to get into.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

I'd say Miami people always.

[Big T]

Oh, yeah. University of Miami.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think people know that, though it's small.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's private. Yeah.

[Big T]

Ohio State's a really good, really good school.

[Arian Foster]

Michigan.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

No, Michigan people know that. Very elite. I was going to say Florida, although they did let Nikki Smokes in at one point.

[Arian Foster]

Big red flag.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But Florida is actually like if you look up Florida's academic numbers, they're very good.

[Arian Foster]

Nikki Smokes, Aaron Hernandez. Yeah.

[Big T]

A lot of questionable characters like Bruce boost that, though.

[Arian Foster]

He. He boosts a little bit. Yeah. But then you got Dan Bilzerian. That brings it down very, very far. Yeah. What about University of Arizona is hard, right?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

No, I've never heard that.

[Arian Foster]

I thought it was the best.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Big public schools are North Carolina, Michigan, ucla. Yeah. Ucla, Georgia Tech, Georgia, Duke. But that's private.

[Big T]

Georgia is a really good school.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah. Georgia's not bad. UVA, Virginia.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Oh, yeah. University of Arizona, 85.7%. Except I don't know why I had in my head that. Maybe because it's compared to Arizona State all the time.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah. I mean, it's better than Arizona State. I mean, if Ole misses is 98, what's Arizona State?

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Arizona State. It's like, do you. Are you mostly hepatitis free?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

You're not going to believe this.

[Arian Foster]

Like, you have hepatitis B, but If you got ARC.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Sorry, I'm seeing 90% for Arizona State.

[Arian Foster]

That's. Is that higher than you thought it would be?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's. No, it's much lower.

[Arian Foster]

Thought it would. You thought It'd be like 99.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

If Ole Miss is 98.

[Arian Foster]

I want to know, if you applied to one of these schools that's like in the 90s and you did not get in, what is the reason for you not getting in?

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

What are they screening out? Like, maybe if you have a felony.

[Big T]

I think if you, like, filled out your application just completely wrong, if you've.

[Arian Foster]

Been charged as an adult for a crime while you were under the age of 18 and convicted and you were currently incarcerated, then we will not let you in.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Yeah, that would be a tough.

[Arian Foster]

Sort of realization, like telling your parents, hey, guys, sorry, I didn't get into Arizona State.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So Tennessee released this where it had those stats of the ACT scores and GPA and all that for the. The 2024 class. I'm not seeing any such thing existing for the University of Mississippi, which I guess makes sense if you admit 98% of your applicants. But I would be interested to see that.

[Big T]

I know sometimes people do say, I had a girl and that I went to high school with, and she got rejected from Ohio University, which is a not super hard school to get into. And she told everyone it was because she was overqualified.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Interesting.

[Big T]

And I said, I don't think that's necessarily the case.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Right.

[Big T]

But people could throw that around and be like, oh. Because sometimes those schools do. I think it's called like yield admissions, where if they. If, let's say it's an Arizona State or Ole Miss and they see your 35 act, 4.5 GPA, all of those things. Sometimes they don't want to take you as an admitted student because they think the chances of you going to that school are extremely low.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Big T]

So they don't want to waste an admission spot on you if they have a pretty good premonition you are.

[Arian Foster]

You're too good for us.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, that does happen. But where did she go?

[Big T]

A smaller, like Ohio school.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Okay, so then that probably wasn't the case for her. No offense.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, I think that if you're. Look, if you're getting rejected from like a 95 admission school, it's probably because you're dead. Like people that have applied and then died.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Is it Radford or Longwood in Virginia that lets you in if you're just alive?

[Arian Foster]

Radford got into Radford. Not to brag.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Congrats.

[Arian Foster]

I had a buddy that got wait listed at Radford. No, he had to take a long look at his life.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

If you Google Radford admissions, the people also ask category, the first one is can I get into Radford with a 2.7 GPA?

[Arian Foster]

And that's yes. 2.7 is great.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I'm seeing the average high school GPA for admitted students at Radford ranges from 3 to 3.5. That could be some outdated information, but it doesn't even come up with like an admissions percentage. When you Google just come, you can just click on the undergraduate application on Radford's website and just fill it out.

[Arian Foster]

So that was my safety school was Radford, just in case I didn't get in anywhere else. And I think if I remember correctly, I. I did not fill out the entire application to Radford. I left a lot of stuff just like undone. I was just like, whatever, I'll just send. They'll. They'll take whatever I give them. And I got in just with a. A wildly incomplete application.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

The ACT range for Radford is a 19 to 26. I think 18 is like, you passed it.

[Arian Foster]

Okay.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I'm pretty sure.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Schools like that, listen, they serve a valuable purpose in this world. They get kids out of their parents houses. Also, the Radford Highlanders is a pretty cool name. Their colors are plaid.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Really?

[Arian Foster]

And they're close to Virginia Tech. Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

According to U.S. news and World Report, it's only a 91% acceptance rate.

[Arian Foster]

Okay, so that's gotten A lot better. That's gotten a lot better since back in my day.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Much lower than Ole Miss.

[Arian Foster]

Ole Miss.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That has to be wrong. That. That number can't be correct.

[Arian Foster]

What is Mississippi State?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I. It was like 75 or something.

[Arian Foster]

Oh, really? So it's. That's a better university than Ole Miss.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That number just can't be right. Because I know in the last five or so years there's so many more out of state kids applying to Ole Miss particularly, but SEC schools generally.

[Sponsor Voice 3]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

I mean, it's going to be interesting to see with Alabama getting. Getting more selective in their admissions process how that affects the popularity of the football team. Although I feel like if you're just born in Alabama, outside of the Auburn area, you're just automatically. You're going to be an Alabama fan no matter where you end up.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Well, that's another list I've always kept, which is what schools have the largest percentage of their fan base that couldn't go there.

[Arian Foster]

Okay, so, like, never get in.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Like, Notre Dame is high.

[Arian Foster]

I mean, there's an easy answer to that.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think Georgia is high.

[Arian Foster]

I think it's. It's probably Duke.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

You're talking pure percentage wise. I guess.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, but you mean, like in sheer numbers.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, because, like, I mean, Alabama's probably getting up there.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Bama, Miami, Texas.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Texas.

[Arian Foster]

Texas is a. Is a big one because it's a hard school.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, we miss that on the, on the big Power 5 schools that are good.

[Arian Foster]

It's very, very difficult to get into Texas. Yeah. Especially out of state, but. Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Usc.

[Arian Foster]

Usc. Yeah. But I mean, if you look at the numbers in Texas, just the millions and millions of people that root for that football team and you have to basically have a 4.0 in high school to get in and like, great test scores.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

There's a thing in Texas, I remember from when I was applying to colleges that I found out if you. I think it's graduating the top 10% of your high school, you get automatic admission into any public school in Texas.

[Arian Foster]

That's pretty cool.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It was either top 10% of your high school or if you had a certain GPA or ACT score. Yeah, but I believe it was top 10% and you were automatically admitted to.

[Arian Foster]

Texas A and M. I think in Louisiana, it's like that you can go to LSU for free if you get over a 3.0 in high school.

[Big T]

I know with the UC, like the California school system, you. If you apply to the California school system, they have to let you into at least one of the schools that's cool. I think there's, like, a school that kind of is below the rest, but you have to be admitted to at least one uc.

[Arian Foster]

What about Hawaii? I almost applied for Hawaii. Just because you get to live in Hawaii.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But they, like, don't let guys take official visits there unless you're committed.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Just in case they don't want people taking a vacation.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Right.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, that's.

[Big T]

Remember, Aran was telling us about that?

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think it's a good hack.

[Arian Foster]

You. What about A and M? How hard is A and M to get into?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's a good school, I think. Hold, please.

[Arian Foster]

Okay. And I wonder about the other Big Ten schools, like Nebraska. I feel like Nebraska is like, if you were born in Nebraska.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Texas A and M has an acceptance rate of 63%. No Tennessee, but it's solid.

[Big T]

Nebraska's acceptance rate is 77.1.

[Arian Foster]

77. And they couldn't let Danny Woodhead in.

[Big T]

Damn. Oh, Miss Wisconsin is a really good school.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, but it's. I think it's easy to get into 43.3. Oh, that's it.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Okay.

[Arian Foster]

I saw a incorrect stat here online.

[Big T]

No, Nebraska or Madison's a good school. I. Toward their. As we were saying, reach schools. I knew that wasn't for me, so I just chose not to apply.

[Arian Foster]

It's a very cool city, too. I like Madison.

[Big T]

Love Madison.

[Arian Foster]

I was down in Austin this last weekend, and it's crazy, man, flying into that city. It looks nothing like it used to look 10 years ago. Like the skyline. There was one building that dominated the skyline. The Frost Bank Tower.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

The Owl.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Fun fact about. About the Owl. The Owl Building. It was designed by an architect from Rice who wanted to give, like, a big fuck you to the city of Austin and the Texas Longhorns by having the tallest building in that city be their mascot from Rice. So it was the Owl Building. And now you have to look hard to find the Frost Bank Tower as you're flying into town. It's crazy. I think they've got the biggest building west of the Mississippi there.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So that's Nashville's skyline from 2015 to 2024.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. What city do you think is next up? Give me a list of. Of hot prospects of cities because I feel like Austin, Nashville.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

I just went to Charleston.

[Arian Foster]

Charleston School.

[Big T]

Charleston's in the mix.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Bachelorette. Bachelor.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But it can't become like a. Yeah, it's.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Yeah, it's pretty small.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I feel like I hear a lot of people moving to Charlotte and Raleigh now.

[Big T]

Charlotte is big. Charlotte apparently Is like the banking capital of the South.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah. Bank of America is in Charlotte. Yeah, yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Raleigh. The Research Triangle.

[Big T]

I hear a lot of people talk about Tampa. Is that eligible?

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, I think if you're. If you retire from the wwe.

[Big T]

Oh, okay.

[Arian Foster]

They just ship you down to Tampa.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Right?

[Big T]

Or if you're Jake Malasak.

[Arian Foster]

Or if you're Jake Malasek. Yeah. Or if you retire from Only fans, you go to Tampa. It does seem like a cool city, though. Anything, Any places in California I've been thinking about going, like, finding a. A city in California that no one's heard of yet. That's going to be awesome.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think you're late.

[Arian Foster]

I think I'm so late.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

A couple hundred years, but.

[Arian Foster]

But in my head, I'm like, surely there is a coastal town on the beach in California that nobody lives in.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Right.

[Arian Foster]

And then I'll find it, and then the city will grow around me.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

You're going to be the last guy to be part of the gold rush.

[Arian Foster]

Yes, exactly. What about Temecula?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think people know about that.

[Arian Foster]

They do.

[Big T]

Santa Barbara.

[Arian Foster]

People know about Santa Barbara. Does seem like heaven on earth.

[Big T]

It does. I can't find an issue with Santa Barbara.

[Arian Foster]

It's expensive.

[Big T]

Erosion.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Erosion. Yeah. Is that the issue is erosion? Is that as big a problem as we were told when we were kids? Or when I was a kid, everybody was like, we're not gonna have any beaches in 15 years.

[Big T]

Possibly. My mom always says, my brother and I were never allowed to live in California because it was going to fall into the ocean at some point.

[Arian Foster]

Yep. That is true. San Andreas fault line. Big T. I would like for you to educate me on another big story of the weekend. Tulsi.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Oh, I was hoping you were going to educate me on this.

[Arian Foster]

What's my girl Tulsi up to these days?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Well, we are. We're going to. We're going to get Obama finally.

[Arian Foster]

Okay. He's going to be arrested?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Well, no, of course not. That's. That. So that you actually just hit on my whole issue with this thing.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So Tulsi Gabbard came out with some declassified documents that allegedly indicate that Obama and Hillary's campaign were colluding on the Russia story that they knew to be false, of which I have little doubt. My problem is, then put these people in prison, which you know they will never do. So. So just what's the point?

[Arian Foster]

It's just to distract.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

So that you can play on offense instead of playing defense.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Probably. But I just. I have a hard Time caring because, like, nothing's going to happen.

[Arian Foster]

So I was looking at some of the quote, unquote evidence that got put out. I think today we're just using the word evidence and accusations interchangeably.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

It seems like it's a big accusation.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

And to be fair, though, the whole story in the first place was an accusation. What do you mean, the Russia thing?

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So. Well, it's no less evidence than it was when it was mentioned the first time.

[Arian Foster]

But Russia did interfere with the election. That's. That's like open and shut. They did interfere with that election.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

They inquired as to whether or not they could.

[Arian Foster]

No, they definitely interfered with the election.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I don't. In what sense?

[Arian Foster]

In the sense of.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

You're talking about, like they had Facebook.

[Arian Foster]

Posts, the troll farms.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Okay, that's not. Anyone in the world can do that.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's not.

[Arian Foster]

Facebook posts that were like micro targeted towards certain demographics. That's a.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That's, that's not illegal.

[Arian Foster]

It's. But a foreign government paying people to influence an election, I believe that is. That is illegal.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That's not what was purported at the time.

[Arian Foster]

You're talking about like, it was the Trump campaign meeting with.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yes. And they were hacking voting machines and shit.

[Arian Foster]

Like, oh, the hacking voting machine. I don't think anyone ever said that Russia hacked voting machines and changed votes.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I believe that was part of what was going around in 2016.

[Arian Foster]

They might have attempted to do that. But of all the things that I've ever read, they did not physically change any votes.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I agree with you.

[Arian Foster]

It's like there were lots of investigations into that. I remember specifically the results of the Russia investigation saying they attempted to do these things. They did not change any votes.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Correct. I agree with you, but I'm saying that 10 years ago, that's what people were saying.

[Arian Foster]

They influenced votes they were trying to influence. And they're still doing it right now. Russia's really good at the whole troll farm shit. I would love to work in a troll farm. And I don't think. It's just. I think India is doing it. I think Pakistan's doing it. I think there's a lot of countries out there that are. That are pretending to be people online that they're not. So do you think Obama's gonna get arrested?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

No, of course not.

[Arian Foster]

Mad Dog McKenzie. Do you think he's going to get arrested?

[Sponsor Voice 2]

No, I don't think so.

[Arian Foster]

No, I don't think so.

[Big T]

I also feel like right now they're kind of scrambling for stuff to take attention off of The Epstein stuff.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, I mean the, the Washington Redskins thing is a great example of that culture war. Oh, well, get back into that.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

We didn't even talk about. He did say last week that he was gonna. He told Pam Bondi to unseal some of the stuff, right?

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. So he told her to unseal grand jury testimony in. I think it's the Glenn Maxwell trial. That's not going to have anything in there. There's not. I'm sure there's not going to be anything of note in there. And I do agree with Brace that what we're looking at is really just the tip of the iceberg. And there's massive, massive money laundering, financial crimes that are being covered up that tie in the richest people in the world, not just the sex stuff. But Epstein is. He was laundering hundreds of millions. If not, I think. No, it's been documented. Billions of dollars funneling in and out of his accounts. And we have not investigated where that money's coming from, where it's going. That is the one that I think has more people freaked out. There's definitely a bunch of perverts out there that went to the island that were part of the sex trafficking thing he had going. But I think the bigger net is just how big of a problem it was with money laundering.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

When you said there's going to be nothing in it, though, this is all they had to do the first time. Just say you're releasing shit that has nothing in it and people I. Oh, and say we're still going through it. We're looking at all the stuff we're releasing what we can.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. As it goes, we're going to be, we're going to be trickling it out there. And then you give people the opportunity to just fake their own documents online and then you're going to have a bunch of fake documents that get put out and we're not going to know what's real. Cool world. Good times. Big T. What else we got from this weekend? Anything else big that you want to get into?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think that was most of it. Hunter Biden did just go on a tirade about if we get rid of all the illegal immigrants, who's gonna clean your hotel room and wash your dishes? So.

[Arian Foster]

Okay, that's nice.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, that, that just dropped.

[Arian Foster]

Good job, Potter. He did a interview, right? Yeah, like a sit down interview.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I can't tell who it's with.

[Arian Foster]

Channel 5, I think maybe.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Is that a. Yeah, I do see a 5 in the lower left corner, but it's not Like a. An affiliate thing. It looks. Is that a national. Is it a publication called Channel 5?

[Arian Foster]

I don't know that much about Channel 5, but it started out as a, like, small YouTube page. It's just like a private. It's not like Channel 5. BBC.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah. It's a guy wearing jeans and an oversized sport coat and a Phillies hat.

[Arian Foster]

He used to do hot ones with Hunter, except it's just crack.

[Sponsor Voice 3]

I think so. I think good, clean living.

Good for him.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Do we have any voicemails to get into today?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, we can do a couple.

Hey, guys. Longtime Arian Foster fan, first time caller. If you had to get a jersey of a team that you don't necessarily support, who would it be? Just because you respect them and their contributions to the game. For example, I'm a patriots fan, but I would maybe get a Cam Chancellor jersey just because he's a bruiser. Amazing. Love him. Stay beautiful. Stay gorgeous. Thanks, guys.

[Arian Foster]

That's a good question.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So is this a player or just a team?

I think it's a player.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Okay.

[Arian Foster]

For respecting their contributions to the sport. And also with Cam Chancellor, he looked awesome.

I have an easy answer. One of the only, like, players that I've ever really loved as a Kid who didn't play for the Braves or Falcons or whoever. I loved David Ortiz, okay. So I would, I would have no problem getting a big poppy jersey.

[Arian Foster]

Do you know the lore behind David Ortiz and triples?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

No.

[Arian Foster]

So whenever he would hit a triple, he had an arrangement with his wife. Allegedly that that night you got to use the back door. And so you can find clips of David Ortiz like hitting a triple. And it was a feat when he was able to do it because a big boy, he gets the third base and then he starts freaking out. So happy with the celebration, he like points over at the dugout. All his boys are like super amped up for him. And knowing what we know now makes that so much sweeter.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

How many career triples could he have had?

[Arian Foster]

Not many.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Let's see.

[Arian Foster]

Not many.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I'm looking 19. Yeah. More than I would have guessed.

[Sponsor Voice 3]

Wow.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, that's higher.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Usually had one or two a year.

[Arian Foster]

Well, there's some weird, weird dimensions with the Fenway park outfield walls. You could get a good bounce here and there.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, if he played a Yankee Stadium, he'd have never gotten one.

[Arian Foster]

Never get a triple. No.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Unless now somebody will look it up and he got a triple a Yankee Stadium. But I can't imagine that's just because.

[Arian Foster]

He was so good against the Yankees. That's a good question. David Ortiz is a solid answer. John Rocker disrespect everything he's done. No, I mean, I've got some jerseys right now from guys that did not play for my favorite teams. Danny Woodhead, obviously respect everything he's about. I have a Kyle Slaughter, the best preseason quarterback of all time. Look up Kyle Slaughter preseason highlights and stats when you have a second. Because this guy, he was unreal in the preseason and never got a chance to be a starting quarterback. Never even really got a chance to be a second string quarterback. Probably because he was too good. Where if he's the backup, then your starting quarterback feels a lot of pressure. He wasn't like a support system quarterback.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Hang on.

[Arian Foster]

Which is like the real long term guys. If you want to be a long term backup, you got to know how to, how to just do everything to help the starting quarterback maximize their potential.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

This is as of six years ago, so I don't know if he's played since then. But as of 2019, his career preseason stats were 111 for 150. A 74% completion percentage for 1200 yards, 11 touchdowns and one pick.

[Arian Foster]

Pretty good, right?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Not bad.

[Arian Foster]

You would think that that guy would have gotten some sort of opportunity at least to be a primary backup.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

So I respect his contributions to the game. I like Ocho Cinco jerseys are pretty cool, too. I like Chad also. You get the benefit of having a Bengals jersey. And I think the Bengals have one of the best, if not the best jerseys in the NFL. Anything powder blue from the Chargers would be awesome. I do have a deli jersey as well, from his time with the Bucks.

[Big T]

Respect.

[Arian Foster]

Respect to deli. Any Australian player. I'll probably. I'll probably end up supporting James Winston. I would support him on whatever team he's on, whatever team he's on, wherever he needs to be. I'm a. I'm a Jameis guy. I will show up for Jameis day in, day out.

[Big T]

Portals.

[Arian Foster]

Portals. Also a solid jersey. If you're wearing a Bortles jersey, you're probably a good time. Probably a fun guy to hang out with. I also think that, like, an old school Deion Sanders Atlanta Falcons jersey would be awesome.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

See, I have a Deion Sanders Braves jersey.

[Arian Foster]

Oh, that's.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Which I think is fun.

[Arian Foster]

That's very cool.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I would like to know what. This can make me sound really old. I'd like to know what jerseys are like popping off at college parties now because it. You know, back in my day, you mentioned Blake Bortles was one of them. Blake Bortles one went crazy. I'm. There's always the classics, like the. The, like Michael Jordan dream team one always plays. Cooper Flag is going to be a big one.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So, yeah, I just. If you're a youth out there, let me know. What are the. What are the jerseys that are going the hardest?

[Arian Foster]

Trace McSorley.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, that. I mean, that probably would have been back near my time.

[Arian Foster]

Trace McSorley Ravens jersey. That'd be pretty cool, right?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Do you know the Trace McSorley song?

[Arian Foster]

Yep.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Okay.

[Arian Foster]

Just a kid from. Where is he from?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Briarwood.

[Arian Foster]

Briarwood.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Something like that.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Put it on a dime.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Great, Great song. Backup quarterbacks. Those will always play.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

If you have a good backup in there.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

I have a Brady Quinn Browns jersey.

[Big T]

Respect.

[Arian Foster]

That's a good one.

[Big T]

Me too.

[Arian Foster]

I could borg in the Brady Quinn Brown jersey.

[Big T]

Co worker.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, that's true. How about that? That's all right. Let's rank the. Let's rank our top new co workers. Gutfeld at FS1. Dude, I love Gutfeld. I love Gutfeld so much. First text I got after the news broke, the very first one was from Gutfeld. No, no, no. From Kirk Goldsberry. Oh, and he said, I'm looking forward to your cross promotion appearances on Gutfeld. From your lips to God's ears, Kirk. I, I love that guy. That show is just like, let's see who can make the most references to, to memes about Democrats.

[Big T]

I think you would be a really good writer on that show.

[Arian Foster]

I think I would love to be on that show where they start. You could talk about anything. We could be talking about food on, on Gutfeld and I'd be like, you know who else made food Obama's chef.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Never heard from again.

[Arian Foster]

No one knows what happened to that guy. And then the audience would like, stand up. I get a standing ovation. Laughter it would be awesome.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think you're joking around, but we, we don't know. We still don't know.

[Arian Foster]

We don't know.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

People don't just drown. He was, wasn't he like a, a swimmer too? He did like, competitions.

[Arian Foster]

They were probably banging on that paddle board, him and Obama.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. You didn't build that. I just keep saying you didn't build that the entire time and people would love it.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So that's a deep cut.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Listen, Gutfeld producers, if you're out there, I would, I would love nothing more.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Mom, Donnie needs to break that one out.

[Arian Foster]

Oh, mom. Yeah, Mom, Donnie. Okay, give me a topic to talk about. I'll try to work in. Let me, let me audition for Gutfeld right now.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Okay?

[Arian Foster]

Just. I'll do it on the next, next voicemail. I'll respond to the next voicemail like it's a topic on Gutfeld.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Okay.

[Arian Foster]

Okay.

[Sponsor Voice 3]

We teamed up with Marzetti and they've got you covered for game day. Picture this. You've got your wings, your pizza, miscellaneous carbs, and then probably, probably some veggies that your girlfriend or wife said you should eat. But what's missing? Sauce to dip it all in. Probably ranch. Right? But don't settle for the basic boring stuff. Get top shelf Ranch from Marzetti. They've got two types of ranch, both made with real ingredients like buttermilk and herbs. The spicy ranch seasoned with Tabasco sauce heats up pizza, mozzarella sticks and other tame tasting food. Then the smooth classic ranch cools off wings, poppers, or anything else you might want to dip in ranch, like veggies, fries, or whatever. It's ranch. So you know what to do this game day? Don't be dumb. Stop by the produce section of your local grocery store and get Marzetti restaurant quality Ranch, spicy or smooth. Your choice. You can find it in a cold case near the fruits and veggies section because that's where they put all the fresh tasting, quality food. Even if your team loses a bunch of games this season and and your parlays don't pay out, your mouth can still be a winner on game day when you ranch with Marzetti.

[Listener Caller]

Hey, what's up fellas? Big T. Pft. Aryan Mad Dog McKenzie. Big Fans of the show calling because I got a question. I just moved down to South Carolina from New England and I've been trying to find a college football team to root for. Slight issue. I hate Gavo Swinney. I think he's awful. But I also don't think South Carolina is any good. And I hate to admit it, but I've kind of become a fan of Tennessee football through this podcast. So any thoughts, ideas? My wife also owned to JMU bfc. So shout out Dukes. But any help in helping pick a college football team now that I live down in the south and they care more about that down here than the NFL. Stay handsome, Stay beautiful. Love you guys.

[Arian Foster]

What? Why are college athletes being paid so much money now? They're called the Tennessee Volunteers. You go to school there and now all of a sudden you want some money? Give me a break. That's my best impression of Good. Just find something that is like tangentially related that you can hammer on.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I do love that this guy has, has started to watch Tennessee. I would, I would welcome you. I would say in the state in which you now reside, you're kind of between a rock and a hard place. Because Clemson is a cult. I do think they're going to be very good this year. But their, their fan base is one of the two most cultish in the sport alongside Texas A and M. South Carolina, though I, I will give them credit. Elite Stadium. Love, love their, their game day atmosphere. Fans. Not my favorite I've encountered. So is that because they beat you.

[Arian Foster]

During the season that you thought Hinden Hooker for Heisman?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Well, they cheated to do so, but no, they're just. They're just not great people. Okay, so if you maybe. I'm sorry, what was this guy's name?

[Sponsor Voice 2]

I don't know if he said.

[Big T]

Yeah, I don't know if he said.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Okay, let's call him Ted. Maybe. Ted. If you, you know, are milling about in South Carolina, wherever you're living, and you find that you have very positive interactions with South Carolina fans, that's great. Although it does seem like he has already started to migrate toward Tennessee, which I think is wonderful. Other than those. Now Coastal Carolina, I guess is another in state school.

[Arian Foster]

You don't want to root for them.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Latch on to.

[Arian Foster]

You don't want to root for them.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That's a school who has to have a 98 acceptance rate.

[Arian Foster]

Probably. That would also make a house divided situation, though, because Sunbelt, your wife went to JMU. They're one of JMU's biggest rivals. So you're opting. You're choosing violence. If you opt into Coastal Carolina in your own home, just be aware of that.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Those are the only. There's no more South Carolina.

[Arian Foster]

Right. Great campus, though. Coastal campus. Incredible. Yeah. Clemson.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I don't think there's any more Citadel.

[Arian Foster]

You could be a Citadel fan.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

South Carolina State is FCS also.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. South Carolina. The Gamecocks feel like. I don't want to offend anybody. That's a. That's a die hard Gamecocks fan. But my general vibe I've gotten from them. Generic SEC fan base.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Elaborate on that.

[Arian Foster]

It just feels like it. I don't know what makes them unique to any other SEC school.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Okay. I would say that, but generic. I. Okay. So I see where you're going with generic. Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

You've got the SEC haircuts, but they're not as over the top as some of the other ones.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Okay. Do you think that comes from maybe having beaches in the state? Like, they're a little softer?

[Arian Foster]

It might. It might. Yeah. But that's not. Columbia is not.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

No, but really close to a bit.

[Arian Foster]

But yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

In the state.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. You're beach adjacent.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But I guess that wouldn't hold true for Florida.

[Arian Foster]

But Florida is Florida.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Florida is just like its own. Its own thing now. I. I could see myself going to USC and having a great time. Going to South Carolina, having a good time. We played a pop punk show down there and it was fantastic. Filled a Bojangles parking lot.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Sounds like a wonderful time.

[Arian Foster]

It was actually.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Did you get a bowberry biscuit?

[Arian Foster]

I did get a bowberry biscuit. For sure. I guess they have. They do. Sandstorm. That's cool.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

South Carolina. If I were to move there, I could not become a Clemson fan. You're right. I think they're like second. They'll always take a backseat to A and M in the. In the cult department.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's close, dude.

[Arian Foster]

But their cult is kind of. It wasn't always like that. Right. It intensified with dabo.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, for sure. But I mean, they have for many years gone to places and like, handed out their own currency That's.

[Arian Foster]

Yep. You're right. You're right. Given the $2 bills, I think I'd probably be a Gamecocks fan. Plus, you get to wear the hats that just say Cox on them. That is a plus, right? Saw a couple of those at the dnc.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Nice. I guess you're next to North Carolina and Georgia.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

You can't. You can't become a Georgia fan right now. I would advise against it ever. But right now you can't.

[Arian Foster]

You can't really. I. You can't really become a UNC fan.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Tough. Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

If you're living in South Carolina and. But you're not from South Carolina, feels like you're just doing that on purpose.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

To find your name. I Little respect that, though.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah. And. And you only buy shirts that just say Carolina. No, north, because that's a big thing.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

They. They get upset about.

[Arian Foster]

They get the real Carolina, which, by.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

The way, North Carolina. If one has to just be Carolina, it's for sure North.

[Arian Foster]

North Carolina, I've always said I'd say probably a top three state.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's up there.

[Arian Foster]

It is such a good state. Get everything in North Carolina. Got mountains, you got beaches, you've got good cities, you've got good weather, friendly people, great colors of your state.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

No. Yeah, it's high.

[Arian Foster]

Very high.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

South Carolina is fine. I'd go so far as to say it's good.

[Arian Foster]

Myrtle beach, you got the. Yeah, some cool coast. Charleston.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But it's good city. If one has to be Carolina, it is for sure North.

[Arian Foster]

I would agree. I would agree with that. Yeah. Just become. Become a Gamecocks fan or Tennessee fan, either one.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

We would love to have you.

[Arian Foster]

All right. We got another voicemail.

[Sponsor Voice 3]

Yep.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Do this one as gut filled.

[Arian Foster]

Okay. That last one was.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Was tough.

[Listener Caller]

Long time listener. My name is Jimmy. I'm from New Hampshire. What gives you guys the confidence to be able to, like, come onto the podcast? Say what you mean and mean what you say. Thank you, guys. Like, I know Arians like an established running back in the NFL. EFT is a very prominent podcaster, but, like, still like someone. You're not a political figure. So what gives you guys the confidence to come out and mean what you say? I love you guys. I love what you say. I love the banter between everyone.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Okay, that's okay.

[Arian Foster]

Just cuts off right there. The fact that I don't live in communist England is what happens with me. The stuff that we say on this show, they would throw you in prison if you put that out in England. You See all these guys getting arrested on social media over there, Big T, all these people. You get thrown in jail for a Facebook post. Not here. So I'm going to take that liberty and I'm going to exercise it day to day. Because we fought a war against King George.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yep.

[Arian Foster]

To not get put in prison for a Facebook post.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Love that.

[Arian Foster]

And that's what's great about America.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Amen.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

You kind of sound like Gruden a little bit.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

When I get into Gutfeld.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah. Yeah. It's a good call. I would just feel stupid saying anything that I didn't believe.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Like, I would if. If we got on here and like just did a bunch of that we don't actually think is true. I would, like, I, I would just feel very dumb. I don't. I wouldn't understand the point of it.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, we, we have no guardrails as to what we can or cannot say.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah. On this show, I get paid the same either way. May as well just say what you think that's true.

[Arian Foster]

What about you guys? Do you guys ever think, oh, this is going to piss people off.

[Big T]

Post me saying it? All the time.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. After the fact, you. You think about it later.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Like, why'd I say that? Yeah, but that's sometimes fun to say stuff that you know is going to just irritate a lot of people.

[Big T]

I think it goes to show that all of us use our real.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Hey, Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now, I don't know if you've heard, but Mint's Premium Wireless is 15amonth. But I'd like to offer. Offer one other perk. We have no stores. That means no small talk. Crazy weather we're having. No, it's not. It's. It's just weather. It is an introvert's dream. Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment.

[Big T]

Like it's our real personality on here. Like, I'm not playing up a character or anything. Well, obviously we're not, but like, yeah, it's. I also forget that people listen to this sometimes and we're just like talking as friends.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Big T]

And so then I'm like, oh, other people are gonna hear that too.

[Arian Foster]

Okay, so back to the Redskins name change thing. I think my problem with that is if it did change back, I think there'd be a big part of me that would be like, Nostalgic, like, okay, yes, this is a better name than the football team or Commanders, but then also that name is forever going to be politicized because Trump pushed them to change it back. And so every time that team name is brought up, it's going to be a wider discussion about, do you support President Trump or do you not support President Trump? Like, if you call them by the name that they become, is that like a code for supporting President Trump or not?

[Big T]

Isn't that kind of already what it is now, though? Like, if people still. If people still call them the R words.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, I would say that if you still call them that, then you're. You're. Every time you're doing. Most people that I find doing that are not fans of the team. They just want to make a point that, like, they still call them by that pre woke name.

[Big T]

I feel like it's the same thing with the guards.

[Arian Foster]

Yes, exactly. Yes. And by the way, the history behind the name change, it was Native Americans that sued the team for years and years going back to the 90s, sued them for years and years and years to get the name changed, and then finally got changed. Not because of. That wasn't the direct legal action that made it happen, but it was the mounting pressure. And then their sponsors said, Dan Snyder, you have to change the name or else we're out.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I've actually realized something in the last two minutes about these name changes.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Because I don't care at all, really. Except for this fact. So, like, I. Redskins Commanders, I don't care. They both kind of sound dumb to me. I don't. I don't really give a. The Cleveland Guardians, to me, is a profoundly worse name.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So I dislike that name change because they changed to a shitty team name.

[Arian Foster]

Spiders would have been awesome.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

If you just make it something good.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I won't care. With the exception of the Atlanta Braves, I will do everything in my power to make sure that never changes. But all the other ones, I don't give a shit as long as you change it to something that doesn't suck.

[Big T]

The Guardians is such a niche reference.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's like a statue in Cleveland.

[Big T]

Yeah. It's two statues that are on a bridge.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah. L. Yeah. Make it something cool.

[Big T]

I wanted the Spiders. I thought the space would be cool.

[Arian Foster]

Like if the. If the Washington Hogs was the team name, I don't think that we'd be having this conversation.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I agree.

[Arian Foster]

If they had done the right thing and made them the Red Hogs or the Hogs, then Trump would not be weighing in on it because he'd have to respect the power of the mighty pig.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

If they made a helmet. Do you know the Western Kentucky helmets where they have big Red, the mascot? Like the running backs? He's carrying the ball. The lineman, he's in a lineman's hands. If they did that with major Tutty, oh, my God, it'd be the best helmet in the history of the NFL.

[Arian Foster]

It would be sick. You could do so much awesome stuff with a cartoon pig. Yeah, it would be incredible. But now we're the Washington Whatevers, so.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That'S the extent to which I care It Only if you make your team name suck afterwards.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, the commanders. Give me a break.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Commanders. Honestly is. It's fine.

[Arian Foster]

No, it's not. I.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's not as bad as Guardians.

[Arian Foster]

Football team was better than Commanders.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Unique. But Washington. That Washington football team sucks.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. All right, so I. That was just a big tangent because I realized that we could speak our mind on the show, unlike communist England. All right, do we have any. Anything else?

[Big T]

That's it.

[Arian Foster]

No more voicemails. All right, well, this has been a real treat. Real treat. How's everyone's weekend? Everyone doing all right?

[Listener Caller]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Any big news to share?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

No.

Oh, you know what I'm looking forward to this week? The science fair comes out.
