Main Theme Overview

This episode leans into a bizarre internet conspiracy: has the sun been replaced with a giant LED “simulator”? The crew dives into social media circles convinced our sun is fake, dissecting their claims, memes, and logic. The discussion spirals into everything from camera lens flares to ancient traditions like St. Nick’s Day, college basketball, St. Patrick’s Day festivities, internet echo chambers, and a long riff about top movies and NCAA drama. The original tone is irreverent, skeptical, and unfiltered.

Episode Tone & Style

This episode exemplifies the Macrodosing vibe:

• Skeptical, wildly irreverent, and improvisational.
• The hosts have fun spiraling through internet lunacy (Sun Simulator!), but also go deep into everyday nostalgia, pop culture, sports nerdery, and the absurdity of online trends.
• In-jokes, friendly insults, and highly specific cultural references fly, giving listeners an insider feel (but plenty of context provided for newcomers).

Summary for the Uninitiated

If you want the Macrodosing experience, this episode delivers: wild conspiracies (fake sun!), sports and pop culture rants, and moments of surprisingly sharp social observation—all filtered through a hilarious, skeptical lens.
Key takeaways: The sun is (probably) real, college traditions are weird, not all internet algorithms are bad, St. Patrick’s in Chicago is a headache, and you should always check for lens flares before joining a conspiracy.

Wait, she took your hand?

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

So. So did you start the next hour? 45.

[Big T]

I like you squeeze a little bit.

[Stephen Che]

How many other people were in this theater?

[Big T]

I was packed. It may have been opening weekend for goodwill hunting. So yeah, I loved Good Will Hunting.

[Stephen Che]

Okay. Yeah.

[Big T]

Yeah. It was a great movie. Welcome back to microdosing. Nano dosing small dosing baby dose. It is Tuesday. It is March 18th.

[Commercial Announcer]

Get the crew together and head off to the course in the new 2024 Chevy Traverse. With impressive cargo room, three room seating.

[Big T]

And the first ever Z71 trim travel.

[Commercial Announcer]

Traverse can handle your buddies and their golf bags with ease.

[Big T]

Chevrolet together. Let's drive. All right, we're back. It's. It's nano dosing. Hope everybody had a good St. Patrick's Day weekend. You guys drink any green beer?

[Mad Dog]

No, I don't drink green beer.

[Big T]

Yeah, so I got pinched twice in the office today.

[Stephen Che]

Was one Stephen Che.

[Big T]

One was Stephen.

[Stephen Che]

He came up and pinched me and said, you're not wearing green. I said, Are we 9 years old?

[Big T]

And it wasn't really a pinch. It was like just kind Of I was salted. Yeah. He grabbed my arm, and then he was like, huh? Pincha. Gotcha. Not wearing green. And I was like, damn it. He got me. But I observed St. Patrick's Day on the Saturday.

[Stephen Che]

So that was my other thing. How many days are St. Patrick's Day? So Friday was St. Patrick's Day. Then Saturday was. I could have sworn was St. Patrick's Day. Yesterday took a little bit of a lull.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

But then today actually is. So we got. It's a four day thing.

[Big T]

Four day holiday. Yep.

[Stephen Che]

Ridiculous.

[Big T]

Yeah. And so he pinched me, and then Max was like, what was that? I was like, well, I'm not wearing green today. And then Max is like, so Max had never heard of getting pinched on St. Patrick's Day.

[Stephen Che]

Really?

[Big T]

I thought that was, like, a universal thing.

[Stephen Che]

I certainly hadn't in the last 20 years.

[Big T]

Right.

[Stephen Che]

You know, being an adult and all. But I do recall in elementary school, that being a thing.

[Big T]

You're also not a pinchable guy.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, I really. That really caught me off guard.

[Big T]

Some guys are pinchable, some aren't. I. I don't think I would not go up to you and pinch you, because that's nonsense.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, agreed. And you don't, like, zero days since our last nonsense. It's this office.

[Big T]

You're. You're 50 anti nonsense. 50 anti horseplay. That involves both of them. Yeah. I felt like every kid growing up got pinched, right?

[Mackenzie]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Well, you had to. You had to wear green to avoid green. Yeah, yeah.

[Big T]

But I'm saying, like, that was a rule when you were growing up.

[Mackenzie]

Yes.

[Big T]

That's a universal thing across the United States. Right.

[Stephen Che]

Did y' all ever have. I remember if it's kindergarten or first grade, but we went to lunch and then we came back, and the leprechaun had had up our classroom. Yeah.

[Big T]

That bastard. Oh.

[Mackenzie]

Messed it up. Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. Chairs were strewn all over the place. Desks were. Everything was taken out of him. He was a real bastard.

[Mackenzie]

I think we would, like, leave our shoes out in the hallway, and then they'd, like, leave us a present or shoes.

[Stephen Che]

Really?

[Mackenzie]

I don't know.

[Stephen Che]

A shoe stocking.

[Mackenzie]

I don't know why I'm remembering.

[Mad Dog]

We did that for St. Nick's Day.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah. That might have been it.

[Big T]

What is St. Nick's Day?

[Mackenzie]

Because that was Ridiculous Day.

[Mad Dog]

It's Santa.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah. Oh, that might have been that, but.

[Stephen Che]

Y' all had Santa working overtime.

[Mad Dog]

It was December 6th.

[Stephen Che]

Is Saint next day his busiest time of the year?

[Mad Dog]

Wait, December 6th is St. Nick's Day. And you would leave a pair of shoes out. Yeah, that's what it was. And then he would drop little candy and treats in your shoes. And my mom or Saint Nick would put freaking peppermints or what's the candy canes on every window in the house.

[Stephen Che]

There's a pre Christmas I never got. This is a St. Nick's Day.

[Mad Dog]

St. Nick's Day. I think it's a Catholic thing because it's like the patriarch. It's the feast day of saint.

[Mackenzie]

Because I did it like in religion class. Like, it wasn't. Yeah, yeah.

[Mad Dog]

St. Nick's Day. It's always December 20th or December 6th, but like, St. Nick is Santa.

[Stephen Che]

I'm aware of that.

[Big T]

Yeah. I have never heard of December 6th.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog]

My mom still sends me like a care package every December 6th to celebrate St. Nick's Day.

[Big T]

That's kind of wild.

[Mad Dog]

And they put them in your shoes. So then I had a special pair of little slippers that I never wore, but they were my St. Nick's shoes.

[Big T]

That's kind of wild. I feel like. Yeah, let's give.

[Mackenzie]

It's definitely a Catholic.

[Mad Dog]

I think it's a Catholic.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. I mean, that guy is working his ass off probably 20 hour days at that time. And then they're like, oh, we got to call him in for pre Christmas.

[Mad Dog]

That's what we did. I love St. Nick's Day. Well, it's like a. What's the beak.

[Big T]

What kind of presents are we talking about for St. Nick's like, like candy.

[Mad Dog]

Candy.

[Mackenzie]

Nothing. Like, not real present.

[Big T]

So it's kind of like an appetizer for the stocking.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah.

[Big T]

And then the stocking is an appetizer for the big gift presents.

[Mackenzie]

Yep.

[Big T]

It's gone too far.

[Mad Dog]

It's an hors d'. Oeuvre.

[Big T]

It's gone too far.

[Mad Dog]

I love St. Nick Day.

[Big T]

I. I discovered a new kind of guy over the weekend. I want to talk about it real quick.

[Mad Dog]

Okay.

[Big T]

So we've discovered a lot of different conspiracies here on macrodosing. A lot of different, you know, ways that people's brains work, especially online. There is a new type of conspiracy guy that I found, and it was in reply to a viral post about sunscreen. And I've heard about the anti sunscreen truthers. I've heard. I've heard about them before. So this was a post from Riley. Check. Holistic grenade is riley checks handle. 70% of white people reported that they use sunscreen at the beach in 2022. That actually, to me, seems low. I Feel like it'd be higher than that. 10% of white people reported that they use sunscreen at the beach in 1975. In 1975, there were approximately 30 skin cancer cases per 100,000 people. In 2022, there were approximately 1691 skin cancer cases per 100,000 People. That's more than a 400% increase in skin cancer cases. Does anyone else find this odd, by the way? That's way, way more than a 400% increase. That's I think like 40,000% increase. But I guess saying it's more than 400 is still true. There's a big anti sunscreen community that is convinced that sunscreen is what's causing skin cancer. Not going outside of the sun. Obviously they're full of shit, but they're just like taking causation and correlation and fucking that up in their own brain. It also might have something to do with the fact that we diagnose way more skin cancer cases because we check for more skin cancer cases. So in the replies, I found a new guy, a new kind of guy. His username is Dim Sun. His reply was, it's also a different son. Hashtag Sun Simulator. Harsh white, LED light, not golden and gentle. There is a community, and if you search hashtag Sun Simulator, you'll find a community of people that believe that the sun was replaced. And we have a new sun, a different sun than the one that we had back in 1975. That was golden, caring, warm, wore sunglasses, had a big smile. We put two scoops of raisins into your cereal.

[Stephen Che]

Have you seen that?

[Big T]

That was the good son.

[Stephen Che]

Golf season is in full swing and getting out there to work on your game is bound to make any day even better. And if you're looking to improve your drive, Chevy Equinox EV is the smartest choice you can make. Bold, athletic styling, a commanding presence, award winning tech and impressive range, all with an affordable msrp. Chevy Equinox EV will put a smile on your face no matter how your scorecard shakes out. Like, angular simulator sun. Lens flare. Shows me the truth.

[Big T]

Yeah, so it's a lot of people that take pictures of the sun on their phones and then they're like, what is this? That showed up in the picture because the sun with their camera, they don't understand really how cameras work. But I have so many questions about the fake sun. So many. When, when did they replace it? What did they do with the old sun? Yeah, where did they build the new sun? Because apparently it's, it's LED light. Now it's not a sun. And if you point your camera directly at it, you can see the sun turning on and off Again, people that have no idea how cameras work and how light filters work, but they'll point their camera right at the sun and then notice that it gets dimmer and then it gets brighter again. You can only see it with your camera. And they think that it's. It's a new sun. The sun simulator.

[Stephen Che]

This is a great tweet. It's just a guy who took a picture of the sun and it says, if you think this is normal, I don't know what to tell you. Hashtag we are being radiated. Hashtag sun simulator. Like, it's just a very normal picture of the sky.

[Big T]

If you think this is normal, it's literally the sun.

[Mackenzie]

Maybe they swapped it out during the eclipse.

[Big T]

That's what I was thinking. Is that like.

[Mackenzie]

So it goes dark, obviously, and they tell you not to look.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Why?

[Big T]

What are they trying to keep you from looking at?

[Mackenzie]

Right.

[Big T]

That's when they change the bulb out, the replacement. Yeah, but the sun is pretty big. It's. It's a large thing. So I want to know what they did with the old sun. And this is also another good post. It's a field of sunflowers that are. They've all turned their back on the fake sun because they know that it's not real. Like, nature knows. Yeah, it's just a bunch of videos of a very regular looking sun. They're like, look at this shit. This is crazy. Because their whole thing is, back in the day, the sun was yellow and now the sun's white.

[Stephen Che]

Okay, I could get on board with that.

[Big T]

Have you ever noticed that this tweet.

[Stephen Che]

Like these, these things, I don't even understand what they're saying. This guy said, why do you think NASA needs a sun simulator? As if we will be loosening access to the sun. It comes back every day. But let's launch a satellite into the firmament that will simulate the real sun. Hashtag false flag event. Hashtag nasalies.

[Big T]

This other person claims that they found where the sun simulator is and it's a video from a weather balloon. And I guess it's just very, very close to Earth. It just like hangs up up in the sky. It's not far away. And one of the hashtags that they use on it is hashtag sky bastards.

[Stephen Che]

I will tell you, these guys are great at hashtags.

[Big T]

Yeah, the sky bastards one is pretty strong. And you can see it very clearly at the South Pole Accord.

[Stephen Che]

I'm not going back to college to be your friend. I'm going so I can get Uber One for students. It saves you on Uber and UberEats. I'm there for zero dollar delivery fee on cheeseburgers, up to 10% off smoothies and 6% Uber credits back on rides. Just to be clear, I'm there for savings, not whatever you college is for.

[Mad Dog]

Get Uber one for students a membership to save on Uber and Uber eats.

[Mackenzie]

With deals this good, everyone wants to.

[Mad Dog]

Be a student join for just $4.99 a month. Savings may vary eligibility and member terms apply to them.

[Big T]

Yeah, this is good stuff. I don't know how these people manage to get through day to day life without dying every day. Like just walking accidentally in front of a train.

[Stephen Che]

I think they would say that you can't die. It's all a simulation.

[Big T]

Ah.

[Stephen Che]

Can we get a sun simulator guy on?

[Big T]

Yeah, I would love to.

[Mackenzie]

Love that.

[Big T]

I would love to. Can we, can we try to find these people?

[Mackenzie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mad Dog]

Let me see.

[Mackenzie]

Send us that tweet.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, yeah.

[Big T]

I. I tried to. I tried to reply to them because I wanted to. I was fascinated by this person's brain. Dim sun. I said, I'm interested to hear more about the new sun. When did they switch it? What do they do with the old sun? I always thought something was up with this one. And then I. It occurred to me, it's like in a. A sitcom when they replace a character and they just don't talk about it. New character. They did that with Aunt V on Fresh Prince. They did that with Jerry's dad on Seinfeld too. It was a different Mr. Seinfeld season one.

[Stephen Che]

This is my favorite one. So it's just a picture of the sun with like a little bit of a lens flare and it says hashtag sun simulator construction question mark. I guess they're insinuating this is like scaffolding on the new sun. And then someone replied and just said, bingo. Nobody knows about this.

[Big T]

Bingo.

[Mackenzie]

Nailed it.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, this is big on Facebook. I'm on Reddit and there are a lot of Facebook people that are in on this.

[Big T]

Oh yeah, makes sense. Tell me about them.

[Mad Dog]

There's a post that I'm seeing from r Facebook Science, which I cannot wait to dive into later. Real sunsets versus fake simulator. Real sunsets show a deep orange ball that rests in the clouds, leaving a long flat reflection upon the flat water and gently reflect the firmament above. The light is warm, yellow and beautiful. Simulator sunsets are hexagonal give off a horrible blue white light that's simply too far too bright. Creates a comically hazy yet pointed shape that is never perfectly round as the sun should be. There's often a dark spot in the center. It gives off weird long bright blue rays and feels totally unnatural the more you look. And the pictures that they are showing are of actual sunsets and then just the simulator ones are just taken at noon in the middle of the day.

[Big T]

Got it.

[Mad Dog]

But then replies to this post is LED simulator is what I'm now calling this thing in the sky. It isn't the sun I remember gazing in several years back. Nothing is as it seems here in this illusory realm. I think they wanted to say something else.

[Big T]

Illusory?

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, illusory realm and the rabbit hole of lies, artificiality and the deception goes much deeper than most care to decode or research. And then someone said so what happened to the real sun? Simply curious and not being snide. Also last week I noticed the sun going down in a direction I've never seen it go down before. Northwest instead of westward.

[Big T]

Hmm. Could that be just a different season?

[Mad Dog]

Who knows? And then they said yes, I am just aware I see the sun when we see is now right. What we see is now rising and moving in a pattern I have not seen. I am nearing 70 years old, shocking in in my parents home and aware if the sun reaching areas in the garden and windows nothing including this weird ultra blinding and turti it is not the sun.

[Big T]

I found another very funny post here that says the sun is powered by nuclear power. The new sun. The new sun's powered by nuclear power and it gives people radiation poisoning. That's actually true. That person described how the sun works accurately like the real sun.

[Stephen Che]

He came all the way back around.

[Big T]

He came all the way. He's like this new sun is powered by some sort of nuclear reaction that I can't figure out and it emits harmful radiation.

[Stephen Che]

It can kill you if you stand out there long enough.

[Big T]

People don't talk about that. When are we going to stand up for ourselves? How many levels deep do you think I need to get into reading about the sun simulator until somebody blames it on Jews.

[Mad Dog]

Not that far.

[Big T]

I think it's probably If I spend 15 minutes I think I'll probably track it down.

[Stephen Che]

I mean this is a dangerous search, but I mean gotta do it.

[Big T]

Yeah, sun simulator. Hashtag Jews. Yeah, yeah, it'll be there.

[Stephen Che]

Not a ton, not a lot. I'm just getting. Well this could be just the new Twitter, shitty search function, but I'm not seeing a ton.

[Big T]

I would play a Sun simulator game.

[Stephen Che]

Me too. I've been looking for a new sim. I think I might do Border Police.

[Big T]

That sounds like fun.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, I've beat power washing. I really, I've bought all the, the add ons I've done. So they had the regular game then. You got to pay 8 bucks a pop if you want to keep playing the game. For the, the Shrek pack and the Alice in Wonderland shit, they have all these weird like cross platform like IP deals. But I've beat all those now. So I need a new simulator.

[Big T]

Have you done trains?

[Stephen Che]

So I looked at trains. I looked at 18 wheelers, but, but I want to, I don't know, I, I, I'm still, I'm still on the market. So if anybody has a great simulator that you've been playing, send it to me. I will take it under advisement. I've been looking for several.

[Big T]

Yeah, the, the truck driving one doesn't really do it for me. I don't, I don't get that one. Yeah, you're just driving.

[Stephen Che]

I liked it at first, but then I looked more into it. I'm like, there's really nothing, nothing here.

[Big T]

You're just doing a job.

[Stephen Che]

You get new trucks though, which is cool.

[Big T]

That is cool. You can upgrade.

[Stephen Che]

But yeah, so we're looking at. There's some cop ones. There's some. I could, I could go back to lawn mowing. I mean that's been a couple years off.

[Big T]

They have teacher. Teacher simulator.

[Stephen Che]

There might be principal. There's. You can like run a gas station. There's. I bet there's some sort of educator one.

[Big T]

Yeah. Somebody should make a Dave Portnoy simulator.

[Stephen Che]

That could make a killing.

[Big T]

Press x to boop. Ms. Peaches. Yeah, I'm, I'm fascinated by these people at the sun. Similar people. I will be digging deeper into that. You can, you can bet your bottom dollar I will. Let me get to the bottom of that. Apparently it's a big thing on Tick Tock too. I don't know how we miss this.

[Mad Dog]

I'm not. My echo chamber is not that on TikTok. Those, those aren't sneaking through the cracks.

[Big T]

They're not. You don't get any weird, weird shit that just pops up.

[Mad Dog]

I do, but then I swat it. Not like that. Weird. But then I swat it down. I say, not interested in this creator.

[Big T]

Oh, so you curate your algorithm.

[Mad Dog]

Oh yeah. I am in an echo chamber of my own making.

[Big T]

That's good.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah. It's really great. But those. Those types of people know. Or I'll get those types of people, but it's like, stitch incoming and then it's explaining why they're crazy.

[Big T]

Like that. Big T. Congrats on your Tennessee Volunteers making it to the SEC championship game. Congrats on.

[Stephen Che]

That Sounds like a backhanded compliment.

[Big T]

Congrats on getting a two seed. That's big.

[Stephen Che]

Thanks. Yeah.

[Big T]

Yeah. Where were you guys last year?

[Stephen Che]

Two.

[Big T]

Two seed. Okay, so. But you basically have a couple home games.

[Stephen Che]

Not. Not too far. Yeah.

[Big T]

Yeah. Are you gonna go?

[Stephen Che]

No.

[Big T]

Watch on stream.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, I gotta be here.

[Big T]

Yeah. How are you feeling?

[Stephen Che]

I feel pretty good about getting to the sweet 16 and then after that. I mean, there's a potential just nightmare scenario looming.

[Big T]

Go on.

[Stephen Che]

Well, you know who we could probably. Probably play in the sweet 16? Yeah. Kentucky.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Would not be. It'd be the worst week of my life. From Saturday to Thursday or Friday, whenever they play, I just be just pure dread.

[Big T]

But what if you beat them then?

[Stephen Che]

I mean, there's no. Like, if we lose to UCLA in the second round, like, that would suck. Obviously, I want them to go further than that, but I would be over it. The Kentucky Sweet 16 game will either be the best moment ever or send me into a permanent. Like. Like there's no. That's it. That's it. You can't. You never come back from that.

[Big T]

How are you feeling about the team, though? Doesn't sound like you're that good.

[Stephen Che]

No good. They. I mean, we just had the nightmare scenario in the SEC tournament. Play three games and then lose. But no, we're a really good team. We lost to Florida, who's probably the best team in the country right now.

[Mackenzie]

Big news, Sephora is now on Uber Eats. So if you have a beauty emergency, like needing a last minute gift or you run out of your favorite mascara again, we got you. Order now and get $10 off on Sephora. Orders of $50 or more on the Uber Eats app. See app for availability terms apply.

[Big T]

They might be. So I want to see their big boy get out there and play. I really. They should allow him to play.

[Stephen Che]

Oh, the 79 kid? Yeah.

[Big T]

They should let that man play just because I want to look at him.

[Stephen Che]

I mean, he's a. He's a freak.

[Big T]

Is he good?

[Stephen Che]

I don't know.

[Big T]

Or is he just tall?

[Stephen Che]

I don't know.

[Big T]

He looks like he moves okay, but.

[Stephen Che]

He'S so tall that it like Edie's what, 7:4, something like that?

[Big T]

7:5, maybe. Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

And he was just so tall that it didn't matter if you were good or not.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

This guy's six inches taller.

[Big T]

It's crazy.

[Stephen Che]

He cut the net down standing on flat feet without using the ladder.

[Big T]

Yeah, he doesn't need a ladder.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, he just reached up and cut the net down.

[Big T]

But I'm basing this all on just watching him walk. He walks like a relatively normal person.

[Stephen Che]

Would walk, which means you have to be crazy athletic.

[Big T]

Yeah. Because if you're that tall, you usually get around like you're sick. Like, if you're not playing basketball, I assume you use a cane.

[Stephen Che]

What's his listed weight? I'm going to 7 9.

[Big T]

It's. He's healthy. He's got like a healthy body. So I'm going to guess two eighty, two seventy. I'm looking like, think about a guy that's six foot nine. Think about how tall that guy is.

[Mackenzie]

So tall.

[Big T]

This guy's a foot taller than that.

[Mackenzie]

That's insane.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, I mean we had the guy. Connor. What's his last name? I apologize for forgetting his last name.

[Mackenzie]

The St. Jeff.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, Connor.

[Big T]

Connor, Connor.

[Stephen Che]

And he's a. He was 7ft and he's a mountain.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Of a man. He sky's listed at 79305. I mean, you have to be £300 if you're 7 9.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

And he's skinny and he's French.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog]

Olivier Rue.

[Big T]

If you look at the Florida team picture that they took or he's.

[Mad Dog]

He's French Canadian. Sorry.

[Big T]

It's so funny seeing him because they've got some other big boys on that team. They have two seven footers. Yep, they got two seven footers and they're standing next to Olivier Rue and he makes them look tiny, like little boys and they're seven feet tall. So just let that guy play.

[Stephen Che]

Only averaged eight and 10 over six games at the 2021 FIBA U16America's Championship. If you're seven nine, you got to be pulling in 20 boards again.

[Mackenzie]

I mean, it's impossible to not score.

[Big T]

He also might not have been as tall then.

[Stephen Che]

All right, so when he was 16, he was out tall.

[Mad Dog]

7Ft, probably 7 foot 6, 16 year.

[Stephen Che]

Old giant 7 if 10. That's embarrassing.

[Big T]

Well, who else was on that team?

[Stephen Che]

He's Canadian, so that could have been a. That could have been like. That's too late for Shea and guys like that. But Canada's had like good guys.

[Big T]

They've had good players. Yeah, I'm just, I'm. I'm nervous about this guy, but I want to watch him play. I'm nervous for, like, his joints, his circuit circulatory system.

[Stephen Che]

How tall are his parents?

[Big T]

I heard that his mom was 6 5, which is like 7 5, right? Yeah.

[Mad Dog]

Right.

[Big T]

And I. I assume that his dad's also tall. That'd be very funny, though, if they were just normal, like, shorter size.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah, that'd be insane.

[Mad Dog]

But I feel like at a certain point, being 79 is more than just your parents being tall. It's like your thyroid, for sure.

[Stephen Che]

But your parents have to be freakishly tall. Can you guess what he said his superpower would be if he could have one?

[Mackenzie]

Invisibility.

[Stephen Che]

That is correct.

[Mackenzie]

No way. I just guessed.

[Big T]

Like, that would be kind of tough, wouldn't it, if you're 7 9?

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, I'm sure.

[Stephen Che]

I mean, he's never had a conversation with anyone in his life that didn't start with, wow, you're so tall.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah. Or like, oh, you play basketball.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, yeah, I get that. And I'm 15 inches shorter than him.

[Big T]

If I were him, I would just sit down all the time. I bet his best conversations happen when he's in a chair.

[Mackenzie]

I mean, you have to.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog]

And him sitting down is probably taller than most people.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Yeah. How tall would he be from. From, like, his ass to the top.

[Mad Dog]

Of his head, his torso looks pretty long.

[Big T]

I'm guessing that his legs probably, like.

[Mackenzie]

My height, five feet.

[Big T]

Let's. Let's do the math here. What?

[Mackenzie]

No.

[Big T]

What's the normal proportion of your leg length to your body size?

[Mad Dog]

I think it just depends.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, but like, average, I would say most people are probably 65% legs.

[Big T]

Let's see. Normal length, leg length. Leg length is approximately.

[Mackenzie]

It says 50. Yeah. This one says legs should be roughly 50% of your total height.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Mackenzie]

So the torso length should be one third of your total height.

[Big T]

So half of just say 8ft, 4ft. So he. His torso from his ass to the top of his head would be four feet. And then off the ground. That's another. Like, He's. He's about 6ft tall when he's sitting down.

[Mad Dog]

That's crazy.

[Mackenzie]

No, that's insane.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, that's.

[Mackenzie]

I still wouldn't be able to have a conversation.

[Big T]

And he probably. He probably can't use regular chairs.

[Mackenzie]

Definitely.

[Mad Dog]

I'm sure he looks like this.

[Mackenzie]

Imagine a flight.

[Big T]

Oh, he can't fly in a plane.

[Mackenzie]

He'd have to, like, have the bed every time.

[Big T]

Yeah, yeah.

[Stephen Che]

This video of him cutting the net is ridiculous. Would you reaches up and does It.

[Big T]

Would you trade bodies with him, Big T?

[Stephen Che]

Fuck no.

[Big T]

Not even if it meant that you were going to be an NBA player and probably make like $200 million?

[Stephen Che]

I mean, is this like if that were the case, he'd be playing right now?

[Big T]

Probably.

[Stephen Che]

Like he's obviously good at basketball, but I don't, I mean, maybe he turns into an Ed type, who knows?

[Mackenzie]

But you don't even have to be good at basketball when you're that tall.

[Big T]

I agree.

[Stephen Che]

Correct.

[Mackenzie]

Stay in there.

[Stephen Che]

But if he was like awesome, he'd be playing right now.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mad Dog]

Also pft. I think your 10 year old theory stops at him. He was the Guinness World record holder for tallest teenager. He was six one at age eight, six foot eleven by sixth grade and crossed the seven foot mark the summer before entering seventh grade.

[Big T]

So he's probably like six three when he was ten. Yeah, I kick his ass.

[Mad Dog]

I mean he's French.

[Mackenzie]

He's probably skinny.

[Mad Dog]

He's French Canadian and he's skinny.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog]

Sweep the legs.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

He's not skinny though. He just looks skinny, but like he's lean.

[Mad Dog]

I don't know what you call it.

[Stephen Che]

No, I know, but I'm saying like you look at him, you think, oh, that guy's skinny. But he's like, like it's all spread out. He's huge.

[Mad Dog]

But he's not tall and fat.

[Stephen Che]

Correct. But like he's just huge. Yeah. I mean he's an animal.

[Big T]

Do we know why Guinness got involved in the whole record keeping business?

[Stephen Che]

It's not the same company is.

[Big T]

I think it's the same company.

[Stephen Che]

No chance. I think it is no chance.

[Big T]

It was because of bar arguments. They were like, we might as well sponsor these bar bets.

[Stephen Che]

Is that true?

[Big T]

I think so, yeah. You think there's two Guinnesses?

[Stephen Che]

I just, I, yeah. I've never given much thought to this.

[Mackenzie]

Oh no. It says Guinness World Records. The record keeping organization is not the same as the Irish dude. Guinness.

[Mad Dog]

Oh.

[Big T]

Wait, yeah, yeah. So in 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver, then the managing director of the Guinness breweries, went on a shooting party in North Slob by the River Slaney in County Wexford. These are all made up things. After missing a shot at a golden P O versus he became involved in argument over which was the fastest game bird in Europe. It's the golden plover. My bad. Not piover, the golden plover or the red grouse. The plover is faster, but neither is the fastest game bird in Europe. That evening at Castle Bridge House, he realized it was impossible to confirm in reference books. Whether or not the golden Plover was Europe's fastest game bird, Beaver knew that there must have been numerous other questions debated nightly among the public. But there was no book in the world with which to settle arguments about records. And he realized then that a book supplying the answers to this sort of question might prove successful. His idea became reality when Guinness employee Christopher Chataway recommended university friends Norris and Ross McWhirter, who had been running a fact finding agency in London. The twin brothers were commissioned to compile what became the Guinness Book of Superlatives and Records. In August 1954. A thousand copies were distributed for free to pubs across Britain and and Ireland as a promotional asset for the Guinness brand. And they became immensely popular with customers.

[Mackenzie]

So it founded it, but they're no longer connected. It says.

[Big T]

Yeah, I guess not, but it sounds like it was. Yeah, like a little cross promotion, people.

[Stephen Che]

That's more than I thought.

[Big T]

Into arguments in a bar. Add some Guinness this weekend. It was delicious. You guys like Guinness?

[Mackenzie]

I've never had one.

[Big T]

You've never had one?

[Mackenzie]

No, I said I was going to do it on Saturday and then I forgot.

[Big T]

It's good. Guinness has gotten way better in the United States in the last 20 years because I had it. I think the first time I went over to Ireland, I was like 15 or 16. Had a few pints over there. It was good. Came back, tried to drink some Guinness here, and I was like, this sucks. And there was only like one or two restaurants in the area that they like, marketed themselves as being the. The place to get a Guinness in Northern Virginia. And I feel like there's just so many more places that that server. Right. I like splitting the.

[Mackenzie]

Splitting the G. Yeah, it's like trending now because of that.

[Big T]

I feel like, yeah, splitting the G is pretty good. Pretty good bar trick. Big T, you want to get into some news from today? And also, Arian is not here. He's got appointments for his kids. Congratulations to Arian for winning his Rory McElroy bet on St. Patrick's Day.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah. Congrats to Rory McElroy.

[Big T]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mackenzie]

Fun.

[Big T]

He's back. He's back, guys. But in the news, say Big T, speaking of the NCAA tournament, the governor of West Virginia is threatening legal action against the ncaa.

[Stephen Che]

Have you seen the press conference they're doing right now?

[Big T]

I saw that he was going to be having a press conference. What did he say?

[Stephen Che]

The West Virginia governor's news conference has started. His podium reads, National Corrupt Athletic Association.

[Big T]

Love that you made a special, which is this morning.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. Governor Patrick Morrisly calls WVU snub, quote, a miscarriage of justice and robbery at the highest level.

[Big T]

Okay, so what's he gonna do about it?

[Stephen Che]

I don't know. Have a press conference, maybe they sue. I don't. Who tried to do this recently? I mean, a bunch of.

[Big T]

Meatball Ron.

[Stephen Che]

Meatball Ron.

[Big T]

Ron DeSantis threatened legal action against the College Football Playoff committee when Florida was left out.

[Stephen Che]

That's right. How that lawsuit goes, I doubt anything came of it. And Florida State, I believe, had the biggest bowl game loss in history to Georgia. I think three to three.

[Big T]

I think they probably just quietly abandoned the lawsuit after that game.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. I mean, a bunch of state governments have been suing the ncaa, but over, like, legitimate stuff. But this. The. When your team gets left out. Yeah. Meatball Realm was the last guy to do it. Yeah. I mean, North Carolina being in was the. The most insane thing I've ever seen.

[Big T]

Kind of crazy.

[Stephen Che]

Their athletic director happens to be the chair of the selection committee.

[Big T]

But he. He recused himself.

[Stephen Che]

Correct. Which I do. I do believe. But also, like, you're the chairman of the selection committee, probably.

[Big T]

Pretty powerful guy.

[Stephen Che]

He also received a $104,000 bonus for North Carolina making the tournament.

[Big T]

All right, so I looked that up. I saw that same post, and I looked it up online. That's not true.

[Stephen Che]

So it's not.

[Big T]

104,000 is not true. I've seen.

[Stephen Che]

I also saw six 60s somewhere.

[Big T]

Yeah. The actual figure is probably somewhere between 40 and 65,000 is what he got. And there's a bunch of clauses in his contract that say if you make the tournament, if you make different levels of the tournament, he gets paid more money because he has to work more. Because, like, overtime. That's still a lot of money to get. And I'm sure that his friends were helping him out and hooking him up. But. Yeah, the guy from West Virginia, the governor here. I think you just give this press conference and then you just kind of forget about it afterwards. Right?

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. You get the cool sign.

[Big T]

Yeah. It's like, I did. I did my part.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. I mean, what else you want him to do? He's done more than he arguably should have.

[Big T]

I need to know how many basketball puns this guy made during this press conference.

[Stephen Che]

This was a flagrant foul.

[Big T]

Yeah. Yeah. Like that. Flagrant, too. Give me some other ones.

[Stephen Che]

The NCAA has fouled out of its mission.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

To help these kids.

[Big T]

Yeah. I propose that we drop the B from the word bracket this March. Cause that's what it is, It's a damn racket.

[Stephen Che]

Morrissey is asked if he'll file an injunction since the tournament begins Tuesday, presumably to delay its start.

[Listener Caller]

He's the big day for us here.

[Big T]

Let's get it done. On paper, it's easy.

[Stephen Che]

Win and advance with the truth. It's harder than the road they drive on. 12 drivers remain, hoping to match dreams with destiny and claim a cup filled with history.

[Big T]

The NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, brought to.

[Stephen Che]

You by XFINITY X the Charlotte roville, Sunday at 3:00pm Eastern on USA speaks directly to the NCAA. Quote, if you're watching right now, I'm urging you to cooperate right away.

[Big T]

So that's not a yes, right?

[Stephen Che]

He also said, that'd be so funny.

[Big T]

If the governor of West Virginia stopped March Madness from happening.

[Stephen Che]

You imagine he was.

[Big T]

He was so angry about it.

[Stephen Che]

I mean, he would be in. In danger.

[Big T]

Yes.

[Stephen Che]

We've. We've done that once. We're never doing it again.

[Big T]

No. That was so bad.

[Stephen Che]

That was the worst day ever.

[Big T]

It was terrible. They canceled the Big east tournament at halftime or some. Was it St. John's it was St.

[Stephen Che]

John's and I want to say Creighton were playing, maybe Butler.

[Big T]

The.

[Stephen Che]

Governor also said he's asked the attorney general to launch an investigation into the selection committee to determine if any backdoor deals happened.

[Big T]

I think that it comes down to the fact that Bubba Cunningham, the AD of University of North Carolina, is probably a very, very powerful guy with very, very powerful friends. They didn't want to piss him off, so they said, okay, we'll let. We'll let Bubba have his team. Because if you think about it, he's connected to. Very closely connected to Michael Jordan, very closely connected to Bill Belichick. He's got a lot of stuff going on down there in Chapel Hill.

[Stephen Che]

How do we not have this one thing that, like, the NCAA still controls that, like, they have actual power over. And the. How. How is the committee still made up of athletic directors and those kind of people? How is it not an impartial. I mean, obviously, it's hard to get fully impartial, but, like, when the UNC AD is heading the thing and they're on the bubble. I mean, it should be.

[Big T]

The thing is, they weren't even really that much on the bubble.

[Stephen Che]

They were, but they should have never been in the tournament.

[Big T]

They should. Yeah, it was. It is kind of egregious that West Virginia was left out.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah.

[Big T]

And granted, what, they only win 19 games, but, I mean, plenty of teams win 19 games.

[Stephen Che]

But they beat several good teams, whereas North Carolina has not.

[Big T]

They beat one good team.

[Stephen Che]

They were one in 12 in quad one games, which, by the way, quad one, like, you can play in a pretty average team and It's a Quad 1 game, particularly if it's on the road.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Like, those aren't. That's not a ranked team every time you're playing.

[Big T]

Right.

[Stephen Che]

But whatever.

[Big T]

Whatever.

[Stephen Che]

I actually. I think they might make a little.

[Big T]

Bit of a run youn see now?

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, I think so.

[Big T]

Yeah. That's how it. That's how it usually works out. There's always one winner of one of those playing games that will go on to win a couple.

[Stephen Che]

Who's the sixth seed they'd be playing if they beat San Diego State.

[Big T]

Is it Ole Miss?

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, it is. Yeah.

[Big T]

Yeah, yeah. I love brackets.

[Stephen Che]

A great time of year.

[Big T]

Present everything in bracket form.

[Stephen Che]

How many brackets do you fill out?

[Big T]

I fill out one.

[Stephen Che]

Me, too.

[Big T]

I fill out one bracket. I might go back. I. I filled it out yesterday within the first hour of it coming out. I might go back and revise it.

[Stephen Che]

That's fine.

[Big T]

Before the tournament starts.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. You have until the game's tip, but.

[Big T]

I've got my initial picks down. Who do you have in your final four?

[Stephen Che]

I believe it was Florida, Houston, Auburn, Alabama.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Stephen Che]

Not a great. Not. Not what I want.

[Big T]

Three ones and a two.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. Well, I just meant in terms of the teams in it, but yeah, yeah, it was. Yeah. Auburn, Florida, Bama, Houston, Florida, Houston. National championship game. And I think Florida might win it.

[Big T]

Which sucks, but could happen. I've got Michigan State, Florida, Duke, and I think I had. No, no, I had Michigan State, St. John's Duke and Houston as my final.

[Stephen Che]

Four is St. John's they're in Florida bracket.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Interesting.

[Big T]

Yeah, A lot can happen.

[Stephen Che]

Who'd you have winning?

[Big T]

I think I had Houston. I believe it's gonna be interesting to see what happens with Cooper flag because I don't think he's going to be healthy. They're a very deep team, but I don't think he's going to be healthy for the first weekend and then he'll be a little bit limited. Maybe coming back second week.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, we'll see.

[Big T]

Yeah. Also looking through big T sheet. Big T. You read the opinion piece in the New York Times?

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. Did you read that?

[Big T]

I did read it, yeah. So it's regarding the. The lab leak hypothesis. It was written. It's in the opinion section. So it's not a scientific paper saying that the.

[Stephen Che]

Sure. But there's a Lot of evidence in there.

[Big T]

Yeah, I've. I've been pretty consistent saying that we don't know where it came from. If it was from the lab, that would not surprise me at all. But this person is now saying, like, there's less evidence that it came from the wet market than there is that it came from a lab leak, which I just want to know.

[Stephen Che]

But there's also direct evidence that scientists in quotation marks who were saying there's no chance it came from a lab were saying privately that obviously it did.

[Big T]

Yeah, I think that they were. There were a lot of people that were very worried and very embarrassed about the possibility that if they were working to mutate a virus and escape what that would mean for their careers. I do think, like, there's probably good reasons why you would work on mutating virus in a lab, Right?

[Stephen Che]

Maybe. But I would hope you would be doing so under the care that would be necessary for that. That obviously wasn't taking place.

[Big T]

I would hope so too.

[Stephen Che]

Just an interesting, interesting little thing that came out.

[Big T]

Yep. What else we got out there today? Anything big we want to talk about?

[Stephen Che]

I had a couple teed offs.

[Big T]

All right.

[Stephen Che]

T. We've kind of touched on both of them.

[Big T]

Go for it.

[Stephen Che]

The first One is this St. Patrick's Day business in Chicago is just out of control.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Stephen Che]

The one mile drive from the office back to my apartment on Saturday was like. It was. I was like playing frogger. Like there's just. And. And it's 34 year olds that are like wearing green beads and like they're out walking around. Go. You should have a family. Go. Go be with your children. And it's just, it's just mobbed and it's. I hate it. I hate it so much. The other one was these schools that think they can just get rid of the word state in their names. It's becoming an epidemic.

[Big T]

Go on.

[Stephen Che]

So like McNeese. That was McNeese State for 50 years. And now they're, they just, they're McNeese now. They just, they, they got rid of it. You can't do that. Nichols State did the same thing. They're just nickels now.

[Big T]

They are. They're not nickel State anymore.

[Stephen Che]

No nickels. It's. There's a few other schools that have done it too, but. No, you don't get to do that. You're making these state.

[Big T]

I agree. Why are they taking it out? Just make it shorter.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. I don't know. I guess they're trying to, to create a new brand I don't know. Streamline.

[Big T]

Yeah, I don't like that either.

[Stephen Che]

Also, McNeese just sounds bad.

[Big T]

I agree.

[Stephen Che]

You need something else in there.

[Big T]

St. Patrick's Day in Chicago, though, is. What is it? The largest or second largest celebration?

[Stephen Che]

Gotta be. I don't know.

[Big T]

In the United States. Yeah, there's. There was a lot of. A lot of pedestrian traffic that was like, you got to be on your toes as a driver.

[Stephen Che]

But also, it's just like the whole thing. It's not. It's not my day. It's not my day. It's not for tea.

[Big T]

Maybe just stay inside next time.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, I would have. We were here for the stream, then I went home and I thought I was in Ireland.

[Big T]

I think there's just most people or a lot of people in the United States have at least a little bit of Irish in them, so it just gives you an excuse to get drunk for a day.

[Stephen Che]

But it just looked like. Like there's a bar near the office that I've never seen crowded in my life. It was line out the door, people shoulder to shoulder. Like, how is that fun?

[Big T]

Okay, I agree with you on that. I. I don't think I've ever had a good time at an event at a bar where you pay for a ticket and then you get for the.

[Stephen Che]

Right to spend more money or even.

[Big T]

If that ticket includes all you can drink for four hours or whatever at that bar. I don't think I've ever had a good time at one of those bars. Because the line to get the drink is always 20 to 30 minutes long.

[Stephen Che]

Right.

[Big T]

You wait in that line, you get your drink, you get out of line, you drink your drink, and then you have to go pee, and then you're out of beer, and then you have to get back in the line. It's no fun.

[Stephen Che]

It didn't look like fun to me, but a lot of people seem to be having a whale of a time.

[Big T]

Yeah. I don't know. Mad Dog, did you have fun?

[Mad Dog]

I did have fun. It was a very long day. I did feel like unk by the end of it.

[Big T]

Can. Can women be unk?

[Mad Dog]

I think women can be unk. Aunt. Am I auntie?

[Big T]

Auntie. Auntie.

[Mad Dog]

My auntie.

[Big T]

Auntie dog.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah. I was feeling like auntie by the end of the day, but I had a lot of fun. One of our coworkers was motivating pretty much the whole group by being like, how many more of these you got left in ya?

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog]

And I said, like, five or six. I'm 25, sure. I thought that was a pretty fair number. And he was like, you don't even have that many. Which I don't know what he knows, but I don't. But like, you went out on Saturday.

[Big T]

Yeah, I went to a friend's house. I didn't like, go out to a bar. Yeah, it was a good time. Yeah. You don't just like, you don't just stay in your house after you turn 30.

[Mad Dog]

Right. So I was like, again, I don't think I'll be doing the whole. Yeah, buy the ticket. Yeah, I bought tickets for the bars and whole thing. I don't know how much longer I'll be doing that because at a certain point I'm just like, I'm spending a lot of money to go to the same bars I go to for free most weekends. But no, it was fun. And then it turns like nighttime, and then it gets a little scary outside.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah.

[Big T]

That's when the kids take over.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah. Like, I got to the last bar we went to past nightfall, and it was a scary, scary realization. I am not part of this, this generation. Like that, like Hannah Montoya and all of them are like partying till like 2am that is not what I have in me anymore.

[Big T]

Yeah. Max pulled a crazy move. He went home and then he took a nap and then he came back out.

[Mad Dog]

One of my friends did that. He took a two hour nap on the couch. Just ended it. Couldn't stay, couldn't keep his eyes open.

[Big T]

And then came back out.

[Mad Dog]

Yep.

[Big T]

That is. That is a wild move to me.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, he just. He was, he. It wasn't like a choice. It was like he ran out of energy, ran out of gas.

[Big T]

If I think about my house, if I'm out and I think about my house from that point on, I am. I'm done for the night.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah. And he was at someone else's house on their couch. Just passed out like a grandpa.

[Stephen Che]

Now that I'm envisioning this scenario, I think it's one of the craziest things I've ever heard. Is it to go home? Go home at all?

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

And then go back, let alone go to sleep.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

These people.

[Mad Dog]

I don't know how.

[Stephen Che]

Now it sounds like from the story you were telling that you were. You were out being part of this.

[Big T]

Well, I was. What do you mean? Like I'm part of the problem?

[Stephen Che]

Well, not necessarily the problem, just that you were engaged.

[Big T]

I was engaged in St. Patrick's Day festivities.

[Stephen Che]

Okay.

[Big T]

And some revelry. Went out at about 11, went home at about 5:30 in the afternoon.

[Stephen Che]

Okay.

[Big T]

Put in a good six hours of partying.

[Mad Dog]

I think that's a perfect timeline.

[Big T]

I think that's great because I woke up, I had breakfast, I got to sleep in just a little bit.

[Mad Dog]

No, I was at a bar by 9:30am on purpose.

[Stephen Che]

That shouldn't be legal.

[Mad Dog]

I paid to be there at 9:30, which was far too early.

[Big T]

How many drinks did you get?

[Mad Dog]

So it was a nine to one situation. I had probably eight drinks.

[Big T]

It's pretty good.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah. I was trying to get the most out of my ticket.

[Stephen Che]

Can I ask, when you were there at 9:30, were you thinking this was a good decision that I made? I'm glad I'm here.

[Mad Dog]

It's not that I think it's necessarily the best decision I've ever made. It's just like.

[Stephen Che]

But were you happy with it?

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, I had fun. I had a lot of fun.

[Stephen Che]

Well then, great.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah. There are only a couple very, very spread out days in a year where I am drinking before noon. And like that's one of them. So it's kind of like almost like a novelty day. Cause you're like, I don't drink at 9am and then you are. And then it's like. And then it's. Everyone's drinking at 9am so it's like.

[Stephen Che]

They sure were from what I could see.

[Mad Dog]

So it's like, who am. I'm not any different than these people. There's. We were at Joe's on Weed actually, site of pop punk concert, and it was just a thousand people drinking at 9am so it was like, this is what everyone does.

[Big T]

The nice part about drinking early though, you go home and you're not hungover the next day.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, I woke up feeling not hungover at all yesterday.

[Big T]

Mm.

[Mad Dog]

I was tired, but I wasn't hungover. Yeah. No. And then, yeah, it's kind of like, oh, I'm here for a limited amount of time. I must get in as much as I can while I'm here.

[Big T]

Mm.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

I did the river die thing last year. Never do that again. And that's the extent of the. My St. Patrick's Day activities. Probably forever.

[Big T]

You saw the river getting dye green.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. And I got up at 7am to go stand there and watch them do that. To dye the river slightly more green than it already is.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

And it was a massive crowd and everyone was drunk and I was like, why? Why all Never again.

[Big T]

It does look cool in the videos though.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. You can get. You get the gist of it in a video and it's way better than.

[Big T]

Being there, I promise in Chicago. It's also kind of a double duty thing because it's the celebration of winter pretty much being over. And since it was a nice day, out on Saturday was like it felt like spring. Yeah. And then it snowed.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah.

[Big T]

That's what you get for thumbing your.

[Mad Dog]

Nose at the weather and the sun simulator.

[Big T]

The sun simulator. Yeah. Do we have voicemails that we can get into today? This episode is brought to you by Body Armor Flash iv. When you're pushing your limits this fall.

I miss having Yuri in studio. It was cool to having him down here last week.

[Mad Dog]

I know. It's so fun when he's here and then he just plays basketball and golf.

[Big T]

And by the way, we didn't talk about this on Thursday. We beat the out of Varian in golf. We beat him good.

[Stephen Che]

You did most of the work, but yeah, wasn't even close.

[Big T]

McKenzie too.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah.

[Big T]

McKenzie's approach game was strong. We beat the out of Aryan. What? We finished after six holes and that.

[Stephen Che]

Was with giving him an extra one. I believe it was done after five.

[Big T]

Yeah. I think we were up five holes to nothing. Right? Or did he get one time? I think he. We might have, we might have tied on one hole. But yeah, just dominance.

[Stephen Che]

And he was like, oh, it needs to be three against one. Didn't win a single one.

[Big T]

He's like, oh, I don't have my putter. I just bought a two thousand dollar putter.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, classic.

[Big T]

Yeah, classic area. Nobody had a good time up here.

[Mad Dog]

He taught me how to shoot a basketball.

[Big T]

Are you good?

[Mad Dog]

No.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Mad Dog]

But he's not going to shoot.

[Listener Caller]

Hey guys. What's up? It's Jack from Georgia. I know in the past couple pods there's been a lot of movie talk, so I figured it'd be cool to go ahead and get everybody. Top five, top ten, something like that. I wanted to list mine out too and see what you guys thought of it. I have the Departed, Saving Private Ryan, Inception, Fight Club, Star Wars, Episode three, the Dark Knight. Ready? Player one, Inglorious Basterds shooter and Parasite with honorable Mention to Memento and Whiplash. So just wanted to see what you guys had, what you could come up with, maybe talk about it for a little bit. And everybody take care. Stay handsome. See y'.

[Big T]

All. So Shooter. He's got Shooter in his top 10 movies of all time with Mark Wahlberg. I gotta be honest. I haven't seen Shooter, but I do know that Mark Wahlberg, he plays a character named Bob Lee Swagger.

[Stephen Che]

Nice.

[Big T]

Who is a shooter? He's in the military.

[Stephen Che]

This is the first I'm hearing of this film.

[Big T]

75%. No, that's on Google. 47%. Rotten Tomatoes 7.1 out of 10 on IMDb. I'm not saying that it said it.

[Stephen Che]

Was his top 10.

[Big T]

Yeah, no, I'm not saying that that. IMDb or rotten tomatoes is always good. I'm just giving it kind of a background Shooter is just kind of a wild thing to put in there. But I respect. I respect the take. Big T, do you have a number one?

[Stephen Che]

Shawshank.

[Big T]

Okay, that's good.

[Stephen Che]

That's my top. After that, like, that's probably the only movie. I really love that, like, movie people would be like, yeah, that's a great movie. Yeah, like, after that, like, my favorite movies after that are probably Moneyball, Social Network. I like a lot. The Hangover.

[Big T]

Mm.

[Stephen Che]

Fever Pitch. What else? I don't know. It would be a lot of comedies. Like, like 2005 to 2012 comedies. And then, like, baseball movies.

[Big T]

Okay, that's fair. I would put Forrest Gump probably as my one one. I would probably have Shawshank in there. Training Day would be in my top 10 list of movies of all time. Dumb and Dumber would probably be my first in there. Yeah, love Dumb and Dumber.

[Stephen Che]

I need to go back and watch it again.

[Big T]

It's very good. It holds up. But yeah, outside of that, let's see.

[Stephen Che]

This. This just isn't something that I keep, like, a running list of. But then I'll see a movie on TV or something. Be like, that's one of my favorite movies.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

But I just don't keep track of it.

[Big T]

I'll have to put more thought into this, but top of my head, those are, like, my top four right there. What do you got? Mad Dog.

[Mad Dog]

So my letterboxd4faves, which is, like, what I keep most of it on.

[Stephen Che]

You do that.

[Big T]

Goodfellas would also be in my top five. I think that'd be number five. Casino. Maybe somewhere in there too. They're kind of the same movie. Just one is in Las Vegas. But Goodfellas stand by on Casino. Goodfell is definitely in there, though. Man. I'll tell you what.

[Stephen Che]

When you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game. Making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts. That's where Snickers comes in.

[Big T]

Man.

[Stephen Che]

That thing is packed. Roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars. And when you bite into it, boom. It sorts you out. Get your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this. Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else. Snickers satisfies.

[Big T]

Man, That's a winning play.

[Mad Dog]

I do letterboxd. Not really. I like to look at other people's. I don't watch enough movies where I'm logging a ton of stuff, but I have my four favorites on there. When Harry Met Sally, you've got mail. Call me by your name. Timothee Chalamet's breakout. And with Armie hammer, Little Women 2019. Those are my top four. And then I would probably go. Honestly, in terms of, like, most rewatchable. Moneyball is probably on that list too. Big T. Father of the Bride.

[Big T]

Mm mm.

[Mad Dog]

Trying to think.

[Stephen Che]

What else have you seen Trouble with the Curve.

[Mad Dog]

Love Trouble with the Curve.

[Stephen Che]

That movies on tv. I'll watch the rest of it every.

[Mad Dog]

Time, but that would make my list. But I do like that movie. Dune 2 would probably be on that list.

[Stephen Che]

Worst three hours of my life.

[Big T]

Saving Private Ryan's pretty good too. I might put that up there.

[Mad Dog]

I've never seen that one.

[Big T]

It's good. It's about World War II.

[Mad Dog]

That's like seven.

[Big T]

Maybe Dark Knight couldn't get through that. How could you not get through it?

[Mad Dog]

Too scary. Turned it off.

[Big T]

I think you should give that another chance.

[Mad Dog]

Too scary. The Joker scares me too much. I don't like. I got to the point in the movie where they were at whatever party and he does the thing with the knife in the mouth. I said, not for me. I'm turning it off. Don't care to go revisit that.

[Big T]

What about animated? What's the best animated movie? Toy Story. I think Toy Story, Lion King is pretty good.

[Stephen Che]

Never. Never loved Lion King.

[Big T]

Really?

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. Never was one of my faves.

[Mad Dog]

Finding Nemo was a big one growing up for me.

[Big T]

That's a good one.

[Stephen Che]

I was massive Toy Story as a kid. I remember when I got a pull string. Woody. That was a big deal. I had. I had one, but it didn't have the Pull string.

[Big T]

So it didn't talk.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, but then I got a talking one and upgraded. That was sick.

[Big T]

And then you. You took the old wood and you threw them away. You wouldn't play, probably.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, I was a huge. Still to this day, favorite ride at Disney World of all time. Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger spin. That's. That's my goat. Since 2001.

[Mad Dog]

Were you a spirit guy growing up?

[Stephen Che]

Big T. Is that a movie?

[Mad Dog]

Spirit the horse.

[Stephen Che]

Never heard of that in my life.

[Mad Dog]

Oh, that was big for me. Spirit. He. It was played by Matt Damon. Was a horse.

[Big T]

Really?

[Mad Dog]

Oh, I'll throw goodwill hunting on that list too.

[Big T]

That's a good movie.

[Mad Dog]

I love that.

[Big T]

Touched my first boob during that movie.

[Mad Dog]

Really?

[Stephen Che]

Wow. Congrats. Thank you.

[Mad Dog]

At what part? What part?

[Big T]

Like, it's kind of like that episode of Seinfeld where they get caught making out during Schindler's List. Like, that's not really a romantic movie.

[Stephen Che]

Were you in a theater?

[Big T]

I was in a theater.

[Stephen Che]

And you just went for it?

[Big T]

My girlfriend. It was my girlfriend at the time's birthday.

[Mad Dog]

Hell yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Nice.

[Big T]

So we went out for the night and then did the slick move. Put my arm around her. I probably weighed like 117 pounds gangly. She was an older lady. Not to brag. Arm around her. About five minutes after the opening credits start rolling, she just takes my hand and she puts it right. Boom.

[Stephen Che]

Nice.

[Big T]

Right on the boob.

[Mad Dog]

Wait, she took your hand?

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

So. So the next hour, 45.

[Big T]

I like. You squeeze a little bit.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Let her know that you're there. Then that turns into some, like, making out. A lot of braces in that make out sesh.

[Stephen Che]

Okay.

[Big T]

A lot of braces.

[Stephen Che]

How many other people were in?

[Big T]

This theater is packed. It may have been opening weekend for goodwill hunting. So. Yeah. I fucking loved Good Will Haunting.

[Stephen Che]

Okay.

[Big T]

Yeah, yeah. It was a great movie.

[Stephen Che]

Could you still point right. To the part in the movie where it happened?

[Big T]

I probably. If I watched it again, because I don't think that might be the only time I've ever seen that movie.

[Mackenzie]

Really?

[Big T]

I might just get like a Pavlov boner right during, like the first 15 minutes. Like, yeah. He sees the chalkboard and I'm like, well, this is a hot scene.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah.

[Big T]

I would put Fargo on my list too, by the way. Fargo's great movie.

[Stephen Che]

Lucy's the obvious choice for a true nicotine pouch connoisseurs. That's why their official nickname, Pouch partner of barstool sports. They go up to 12 milligrams in strength and have unique shape that fit. 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.

[Big T]

Happy Gilmore. And tell you what, I'll put a chick flick on there, because I don't even know if I consider this a chick flick, but I know a lot of people do. Clueless.

[Mad Dog]

Good movie.

[Big T]

Clueless was a great movie.

[Mad Dog]

Good movie. You know what other movie Adam Sandler brought? Like, you kind of reminded me. I don't know if I'd put this in my top 10, but I love this movie so much. 50 first dates.

[Big T]

Mm.

[Mad Dog]

I love that movie. That movie makes me cry.

[Big T]

Yeah, that was a good one.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah.

[Big T]

I don't think anybody's ever had a heater like Adam Sandler had in that stretch of time. Was it 1993 to 1999? Let's say.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Mr. Deeds in there?

[Big T]

I think Deeds is in there. The wedding singer. Happy Gilmore. Billy Madison.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Water boy.

[Big T]

50 first dates. Water boy.

[Mad Dog]

Wedding singer.

[Big T]

Yeah. Wedding singer.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

That's.

[Big T]

I mean, that's an incredible spin.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, I love Deeds.

[Mad Dog]

I just learned that Mr. Deeds is in Severance.

[Big T]

Oh, yeah.

[Mad Dog]

I just started watching Severance.

[Big T]

Yeah. John Turturro.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah.

[Big T]

He also plays Jesus from the Big Lebowski.

[Mad Dog]

Wait, really?

[Big T]

Nobody fucks with the Jesus. Yeah. He's a great actor.

[Mad Dog]

I did not know that.

[Big T]

Yep.

[Mad Dog]

I'm on my Severance kick.

[Stephen Che]

How far into it are you?

[Mad Dog]

Season one, Episode eight.

[Big T]

That's. That's dangerous. Don't tell people that.

[Mad Dog]

I know.

[Big T]

That's. You've opened yourself up to be spoiled. Big time.

[Mad Dog]

I told Big T this. I know some things that happen in season two just from being, like, out on social media and everything. But I just learned some things that have changed.

[Big T]

Yep, a lot of stuff changes.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah. It's so good. I don't know why I waited this long to start it.

[Big T]

Top Gun 2, also on my list.

[Mad Dog]

I was. I was thinking about Top Gun 2, too.

[Stephen Che]

Good movie. Probably the only movie in the last, I don't know, 15 years that I've. I don't think I did it, but I was like, I should go see that again in the theater.

[Big T]

Saw it twice.

[Stephen Che]

I don't remember if I did or not, but I remember thinking, like, on a Saturday. I wasn't doing anything. I was. I'll just. Should just go see it again.

[Big T]

That's smart.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah.

[Big T]

I saw it, I think, twice in theaters, and then I saw it at home. And then I saw it. I watched it on a plane one time, and then on the plane, I was. I fast forwarded through every scene that wasn't them in a plane. It was a great way to watch it.

[Stephen Che]

I believe I may hold the record for amount of time seeing the Veggie Tales movie in theaters. Believe I saw it four times.

[Big T]

Really?

[Stephen Che]

I think so, yeah.

[Big T]

Is that the record?

[Stephen Che]

It's got to be.

[Big T]

Why did you see it that many times?

[Stephen Che]

Because I was a little kid and I made my parents keep going.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Stephen Che]

It was all. They made a Veggie Tales movie, dude. Obviously.

[Big T]

Gotta go check it out. Yeah, you pick something new up every time. Yeah, I saw. I want to say I saw Titanic six times in theaters. You guys don't understand. If you didn't grow up in the era that I grew up in. Titanic changed everything. It was like the only. It was like the pop culture thing that happened for two years. It was like, Titanic's out.

[Stephen Che]

Is that 97?

[Big T]

I want to say 96. Yeah, 97. 98. Maybe.

[Mad Dog]

Like more than Wicked.

[Big T]

Oh, yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Oh, was more than Wicked.

[Big T]

Titanic was the only thing that was happening in the United States.

[Mad Dog]

Wow.

[Stephen Che]

Hang on. That's your cultural reference of, like, the biggest thing that's ever happened.

[Mad Dog]

I'm just saying.

[Stephen Che]

Wicked.

[Mad Dog]

I'm just. Recency bias. I'm just saying that was, like, the thing for a couple months.

[Stephen Che]

It was a pretty big movie.

[Mad Dog]

I think it was a pretty big thing.

[Big T]

Titanic smashed every record. It was like. That's all that they did on talk shows for about a year, was just make jokes about Titanic.

[Stephen Che]

Wicked's not even the biggest movie that's come out in the last couple years.

[Mad Dog]

But I feel like it took over, like, pop culture with the whole press tour.

[Stephen Che]

I think it took over your pop culture.

[Big T]

You're forgetting, like.

[Stephen Che]

Like, Oppenheimer was.

[Mad Dog]

Oh, Barbenheimer.

[Stephen Che]

A thousand times bigger than Wicked.

[Mad Dog]

But I just feel like the way that Wicked took over pop culturally.

[Big T]

It's hard for Wicked to take over pop culturally, though, because it was already a show, like a very popular show.

[Stephen Che]

True, true, true.

[Big T]

Titanic was like, it's a new thing. Titanic was everything. H. Those were the. That was our Titanic era.

[Mad Dog]

Do you consider Titanic a Chick flick.

[Big T]

It's got Guns. I feel like they made that movie and James Cameron was like, yeah, you know, we've got. It's a great love story. Incredible set design, Drama. Let's put some guns in there for the guys, for the fellas. How are we thinking about the. The new men's rights movement saying, like, it's kind of up how women and children got to go in that lifeboat and men weren't able to go.

[Stephen Che]

I'm not familiar with this.

[Big T]

Yeah, people were relitigating the women and children. First thing, it's like, oh, you want equality? Well, then we should have survived the wreck of the Titanic.

[Stephen Che]

Interesting.

[Big T]

How do you like that? Put that in your pipe and smoke it. That would be a pretty. Pretty tough way to die. Like, there's open space on lifeboat. Your wife, your kids get on the lifeboat and you're like, well, see you guys later. I'm a guy. I'm just gonna hang out here. Have a good one. Please don't remarry.

[Stephen Che]

I feel like a lot of people had to just, like, just jump on.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Like, I feel like if ever there was a time to crowd in, it's then.

[Big T]

When it comes down to it, if you're about to sink into the Ocean at like 45 degree water temperatures and then there's space on a boat and your wife and your children are on that boat, to just let that boat go away and be like, okay, I'm fine with this.

[Stephen Che]

Like, did that happen? A boat? I feel like that can't have.

[Big T]

Yeah. I mean, that was the rule. Women and children first.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. But then you hop on after.

[Big T]

If there's room, Billy.

[Stephen Che]

If there's room or not.

[Big T]

Billy Zane being like, is there room for a gentleman? Gentleman. By the way, great job casting Billy Zane. Billy Zane is just. There's something about that guy. I'm sure he's a very nice guy, but you look at him, you're like, prick.

[Stephen Che]

I haven't seen the film.

[Big T]

Billy Zane was also one of the. I think he was one of the bad models from Zoolander. He's just got that look where he looks like an. Sure. I'm sure he's a nice guy. All right. Good question.

[Mad Dog]

Nice wise mouth.

[Big T]

Yep.

[Listener Caller]

Hey, what's going on? It's Squeaks here.

[Big T]

What's up, Squeaks?

[Listener Caller]

A couple updates from last time. I think God heard what I had to say about, you know, positive. And he's trying to test me because last week, my. My car with brand new engine, it's got, like, less than 20000 miles on. It just failed itself. It's oh no. And I don't have a car anymore. But you know, that just means my commute went from five minute drive to 20 minute walk. Fine. You March Madness right around the corner. Everything's great. And, and then Saturday we had big St. Patrick's Day darty in our lawn. A lot of fun. But it's not as fun when you're hosting the party because you're just stressing the whole time about people with your house. People always using the girls using the bathroom the whole time. They didn't want to use the porta potties. Some freshman chick puked on my floor in the kitchen. I had to clean that up. But other than that, great weekend. Also, I go to go to St. Bonnie's shout out Woj home game nit Tuesday.

[Big T]

Wow.

[Listener Caller]

So everything's looking great except for the car. Other than that, everything's looking great. See you guys. Happy March Madness.

[Big T]

Happy March Madness. Squeaks. It squeaks. It sounds like you just got yourself a project. Watch a few YouTube videos, dude. Figure out how to get that bad boy running again.

[Mad Dog]

You got your car running on the first try.

[Big T]

I did. I did. I drove the El Camino home on Thursday. It made it all the way back. I see. Here's the thing. I think that I stopped to put gas in it right before I put it up for the winter, but I'm not sure. And since the gas gauge is broken, I'm not, I'm not confident that. So the drive home from work was. It was fun. It was a great time. But also at the same time it was kind of nerve wracking because it was like, fuck, this might just die on me. I might, I might pull it in tomorrow. We'll see. See about that. But shout out to Squeaks. Enjoy the walk. I like his idea of being stressed out though at, at a house party if you're in college.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah.

[Big T]

It's like what are they going to do? What's going to happen? What's the worst that could happen? I'll tell you the worst that that would happen at a house party. It's like somebody stole the George Foreman. That's as bad as it gets.

[Mad Dog]

Someone. Someone has sex in your bed.

[Big T]

Yeah. Yeah. You see like some strangers doing it in your bed. That's bad. They steal the George Foreman and they steal the George Foreman people. That was really the only thing of value that most people had in their apartments in college. As far as guys go, girls always had much nicer places My brother last.

[Mad Dog]

Year, he was a junior in college and the most valuable thing he had in his house, he lived with 12 dudes and they had Iberian ham. I believe it's. Oh yeah, just out on top of their beer fridge. And so I walked into this house for the first time and I looked to my right and there's just a loose ham. And I was like, what the hell is this?

[Big T]

It's Siberian. It's acorn fed. Matt.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah. He's like, it's our ham. And then that was like, it was insane for me to ask what, what the loose ham was doing out in the open.

[Big T]

Yeah. And.

[Mad Dog]

And he was like, yeah, it's the Iberian ham.

[Big T]

Yeah. Every guy's apartment has one thing that they either all chip in together to buy or. And then it becomes a source of pride for the entire apartment. They've usually got one of those. Or maybe your parents gave you one appliance, right? Like, oh, if you have a Vitamix or like a magic bullet, then it's like that's a, that's a one nice thing that you have. Everything else is like a 50 cent piece of silverware from Goodwill. We had, we had renters insurance when we first moved into our apartment in college. And it makes you estimate the, the total worth of all the valuables that you have inside your apartment. And we all sat down trying to figure out what we should put on this list. And we were like, okay, well we got the Xbox, So that's like 289. Put that on there. We've all got computers, so that's another like 400 per room. And then we've got this sick ass bubbler. And I spent like 220 bucks on that. Are we, are we allowed to put our bubbler on the renters insurance claim? We struggled with that one for a while. And then after that, I think the next most valuable thing was a coffee table that we had decorated out of beer bottle caps that we spent like two days putting together. So yeah, if you have a party at your place, the carpet's going to get muddy, somebody's gonna in your bed, toilet might get clogged and they might steal the tortilla press that you have. That's about it. But good for Squeaks.

[Listener Caller]

What's up guys? Tyler, second time calling in. I think I have a good guessing game for you guys. And that also is, you know, just naming more guys. Naming more dudes. So the 10 highest single season passer ratings in NFL history. There are eight players on the list that make up the 10 highest seasons. Can you guys name all eight players? And there are definitely some surprises on this list.

[Big T]

Okay, so, Mad Dog, can you look up the list?

[Mad Dog]

Yes, 10. He also says it.

[Big T]

Oh, he says it at the end.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, but.

[Big T]

Yeah, okay.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, so it's 10 passing.

[Stephen Che]

Should we just take off our headphones and you listen to it and write them down?

[Mad Dog]

Sure.

[Big T]

Yeah, we'll do that.

[Mad Dog]

Okay, Take them off. Okay, I've got them.

[Big T]

All right, we'll start out with Tom Brady.

[Mad Dog]

Are you going in order or are you just naming?

[Big T]

No, just naming.

[Mad Dog]

Yes.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Stephen Che]

Peyton Manning.

[Mad Dog]

Yes.

[Stephen Che]

All right, let's try to. Let's try to do this without getting a guess wrong. So let's go. Our most confident next. Do we think. Did you want to do Mahomes?

[Big T]

I'm not sure.

[Stephen Che]

Okay, who do we. Did you want one of the three older, like Marino?

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

You want to do Marino?

[Big T]

Marino.

[Stephen Che]

Dan Marino. Fuck.

[Big T]

Mark Rippon. Damn it.

[Stephen Che]

Patrick Mahomes. Fuck. John Elway.

[Big T]

Jim Kelly.

[Stephen Che]

Matt Ryan.

[Mad Dog]

Ding.

[Stephen Che]

I told you he'd be on there.

[Big T]

Big T did say that one. All right, so we got three.

[Stephen Che]

Do you think Drew Brees, Kurt Warner.

[Big T]

Yes, I do think. Drew Brees.

[Stephen Che]

Kurt Warner, Drew Brees.

[Mad Dog]

Ding. Ding. Twice. Okay, so you have so far that you got right, Four. Drew Brees. Who else do you have?

[Stephen Che]

Peyton Manning, Brady Ryan.

[Mad Dog]

Okay.

[Big T]

And Manning.

[Stephen Che]

She said. We said that. Joe Montana.

[Big T]

Yeah, Joe Montana.

[Stephen Che]

Joe Montana.

[Big T]

You think Big Ben.

[Stephen Che]

I'm fine with that. Guess, Big Ben.

[Big T]

Fuck.

[Stephen Che]

What do you think about Joe Flacco?

[Big T]

I don't know if he'd be on there because he had. He had a great playoff.

[Stephen Che]

I'm just trying to think surprises. Because he said surprise. I'm assuming that was probably Matt Ryan.

[Big T]

Matt Ryan's a surprise. Yeah.

[Mad Dog]

You guys have not gotten 1 and 2 yet.

[Stephen Che]

1 and 2.

[Big T]

The best seasons ever.

[Mad Dog]

And I will give you a hint. They are the same person.

[Stephen Che]

I would have guessed that was Tom Brady.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Can you give us the decade?

[Big T]

No, I don't want the decade. I don't want the decade.

[Stephen Che]

The century.

[Mad Dog]

This one.

[Big T]

All right. Great quarterbacks of the 2000s. I mean, it was always Brady, Manning, Big Ben, Aaron Rodgers.

[Mad Dog]

Ding, ding.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. How did we forget that? So we need three more.

[Mad Dog]

Yes, you mentioned one, but didn't make it. Final answer.

[Stephen Che]

Who?

[Mad Dog]

Lamar?

[Big T]

Yeah, we did mention. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Stephen Che]

We actually said final answer. You just didn't.

[Mad Dog]

Sorry.

[Big T]

Come on, Mad Dog.

[Mad Dog]

Sorry.

[Stephen Che]

Lamar Jackson.

[Mad Dog]

Yep.

[Big T]

So now we got how many more?

[Stephen Che]

Two.

[Big T]

Two more. Is one of them really old no. Okay. I didn't think so. I was just checking. Troy Aikman.

[Mad Dog]

Nope.

[Stephen Che]

I was gonna say, is there anyone from the 90s?

[Big T]

I mean, Troy Aikman, he never really had great stats, but I was thinking maybe he was. Just didn't throw that many picks. Who doesn't throw picks?

[Stephen Che]

I've got a sneaky one.

[Big T]

Joe Burrow.

[Stephen Che]

Do we think Philip Rivers ever made this list?

[Big T]

They had great offenses.

[Stephen Che]

Philip Rivers.

[Big T]

That's a good guess.

[Stephen Che]

I thought I really had it.

[Big T]

Respect for the guests. Let's just go through some teams.

[Stephen Che]

Okay.

[Big T]

All right, let's start with the NFC North. The Vikings. Kirk Cousins would not be on that list, right?

[Stephen Che]

I don't think so, but I will say.

[Big T]

Oh, Brett Favre. No, through too many picks.

[Mackenzie]

The.

[Mad Dog]

The. The two you have left, I think, are both people you would not think of.

[Stephen Che]

Okay, should we ask for a division?

[Big T]

Yeah. Steve Young, Colin Kaepernick.

[Stephen Che]

Okay, give us a division.

[Mad Dog]

NFC East.

[Big T]

Oh, okay, so Giants.

[Stephen Che]

What about Donovan McNabb?

[Big T]

Michael Vick? Ron Jaworski?

[Stephen Che]

NFC.

[Big T]

Oh, it might have been Nick Foles.

[Stephen Che]

Wow.

[Big T]

The year that he had, like, no interceptions.

[Mad Dog]

Good job. Okay, last one. I don't know what year this happened, so I don't know what team this person was on when he made this record.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Mad Dog]

But I was.

[Stephen Che]

Look it up. Oh, well, not if. I guess. If you don't know the year.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Well, if you just go to stat reference, it'll show you if his pass rating was, like, the highest that season.

[Big T]

Matt sh.

[Mad Dog]

No, but I believe it's one of them. He was on two teams. One of them was in the AFC south, the other is.

[Stephen Che]

Wait, I already have a guess as to who it is.

[Big T]

Okay, who's your guess?

[Stephen Che]

I want to hear, say, the other division.

[Big T]

The.

[Stephen Che]

I think it's someone who's. Unfortunately, no.

[Mad Dog]

AFC East.

[Stephen Che]

No longer with us. But that just. That just changed it. I thought it was maybe McNair.

[Big T]

Oh, yeah. So he played for the. In the AFC East. Jay Cutler.

[Stephen Che]

I don't think he played in either of those divisions. Well, he played for the Dolphins.

[Big T]

Dolphins, yeah. What was the other one?

[Stephen Che]

AFC South.

[Big T]

The AFC South. Okay.

[Stephen Che]

If it's not McNair, it's not the Titans. What was the guy's name for the Jags?

[Big T]

Brunel. No.

[Stephen Che]

David Garard.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Stephen Che]

Oh, it can't be him. Are there any other Colts quarterbacks?

[Big T]

Andrew Luck. But that's the only place that he played, correct?

[Stephen Che]

Yeah. And who's the other team? Texans.

[Big T]

Do we know Texans? We just said. We said Matt Schaub. And she was like, interesting. So let's see other Texans quarterbacks.

[Stephen Che]

She's laughing. It's got to be on the Texans.

[Big T]

Other Texans quarterbacks. Throughout the years, they've had some great.

[Stephen Che]

I mean, there's no chance it's C.J. stroud. Right?

[Big T]

Say it.

[Stephen Che]

C.J. stroud.

[Big T]

Okay. AFC east quarterbacks. Josh Allen, JP Lawsman. No, that's not a real.

[Stephen Che]

Guess who played on the Texans. They've only been around for 20 years.

[Big T]

Yeah, Fitzy, Brock Osweiler. Oh, what? Fitzy. Definitely not.

[Stephen Che]

I mean, it's not. But he played on teams in the AFC.

[Big T]

Fitzy. Okay. Fitzy, Osweiler, Matt Leiner, C.J. yates. T.J. yates. Sorry.

[Mad Dog]

I think you guys are looking at the wrong.

[Big T]

Brandon Whedon.

[Stephen Che]

Looking at the wrong.

[Big T]

So let's just think AFC east now, because we know that AFC east is one of them.

[Stephen Che]

Okay, Texans.

[Big T]

I have my doubts Now. AFC east. Old Bills quarterbacks, Doug Flutie, Rob Johnson, Jim Kelly. We already guessed. She said no.

[Stephen Che]

I don't think the Bills are Patriots.

[Big T]

Cam Newton.

[Stephen Che]

Didn'T play in the AFC South.

[Big T]

Well, do we know that it's AFC South? Because she seems a little confused about that.

[Mad Dog]

One of the teams that this man play for is the AFC east. And the other team that this man played for is the AFC South. Okay, that is. That is locked in.

[Big T]

Locked in.

[Stephen Che]

And we know it's 21st century.

[Mad Dog]

And we know it's 21st century.

[Stephen Che]

So it's not Bills or Patriots.

[Mad Dog]

But you don't know it's the Texas.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah, she does.

[Big T]

Yeah, that's where there's a mix up.

[Stephen Che]

Oh, you're right. But she did confirm it was 21st century.

[Big T]

Yes.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah.

[Big T]

So we have Patriots quarterbacks.

[Stephen Che]

We don't think that there's not Patriots. I mean, they had one troop led.

[Big T]

So.

[Stephen Che]

Okay, so think Dolphins.

[Big T]

Dolphins, Jets.

[Stephen Che]

Played for the jets.

[Big T]

Vinny Testaverde.

[Stephen Che]

Not 21st century.

[Big T]

It's Mark Sanchez.

[Stephen Che]

He didn't play in the FC cell.

[Big T]

I know. Michael Vick is another one.

[Stephen Che]

What's so funny?

[Mad Dog]

You guys, like, you are so close.

[Stephen Che]

So it's Jets.

[Mad Dog]

No, I'm not saying that it is the Jets.

[Stephen Che]

It's the. Who played for the Jets? Pft.

[Big T]

Yet Chad Pennington, who also played for the Dolphins. But that's. They're both AFC East.

[Mad Dog]

I also feel like you guys are reading too much into, like, what I'm doing.

[Big T]

Yeah, that's what I'm. I've been. I've been thinking that Dolphins quarterbacks.

[Stephen Che]

She said no to Jay Cutler. Tua has only played for one team and sucks.

[Big T]

AJ Feely. Cleo Lemon.

[Stephen Che]

I mean, we're not leaving till we get this.

[Big T]

Dante Culpepper.

[Stephen Che]

This great podcasting.

[Big T]

Yeah, this is bad, but I feel like everybody out there screaming at their radio right now at their phone. Jets.

[Stephen Che]

How. On a scale of 1 to 10, how difficult would you say this is to get.

[Mad Dog]

I know this person.

[Stephen Che]

Okay?

[Mad Dog]

So take what that would.

[Stephen Che]

Why don't you give me.

[Big T]

No, I don't want any more hints.

[Stephen Che]

College.

[Big T]

No, no, no. I don't want this guy. I don't want any more hints. Big T. Don't want him.

[Stephen Che]

All right. He doesn't want it.

[Big T]

Jets quarterbacks. When I say jets quarterbacks, who do you think of?

[Stephen Che]

Mark Sanchez? Chad Pennington?

[Big T]

Aaron Rodgers.

[Stephen Che]

Totally.

[Big T]

Zach Wilson.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Sam Darnold.

[Stephen Che]

We need to go back to AFC South. Are there. We dismissed Titans offhand. Are there any other Titans quarterbacks that didn't suck?

[Big T]

I just gave you the list. The only one that I can think of that didn't suck was Matt Schaub for a season.

[Stephen Che]

He played for the Titans.

[Big T]

Sorry. The Texans. Titans quarterbacks.

[Stephen Che]

Now, she said she knew this person. I was thinking, is there any chance Carrie Collins, in that year that the Titans were awesome, just had a crazy. But she doesn't know who that is?

[Big T]

No. Vince Young played for the Titans. Zach Mettenberger played for the Titans.

[Stephen Che]

He sure did.

[Big T]

Oh. Oh. It's not Ryan Tannehill.

[Mad Dog]

It's Ryan.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Ryan. Really?

[Mad Dog]

Yeah.

[Big T]

What year?

[Mad Dog]

I don't know. I was this.

[Stephen Che]

That year he won comeback player of the year, where he just. His comeback was from sucking.

[Big T]

His comeback was from being Ryan Tannehill.

[Stephen Che]

Yeah.

[Big T]

And they got the one seed, right? No, I thought they had a buy.

[Stephen Che]

Well, it may have been when they too.

[Mad Dog]

I believe it was in 2019.

[Big T]

Yeah. And everybody was like, ryan Tanhill's back. And I. People ask me, like, what. What's one sports take that like, you refuse to get off of? I said, I think it's that Ryan Tannehill sucks. And then I got dragged. People were like, you don't know ball. You don't watch ball.

[Stephen Che]

I think if you had said sec, I would have gotten that. Although, honestly, were they in the Big 12 when he was there?

[Mad Dog]

I think it might have been that. I don't know, like, it's Texas A and M. I didn't know when it switched or, like, what to say.

[Stephen Che]

Switched in 2012. Yeah.

[Mad Dog]

And that's when he was in the draft.

[Big T]

That's a good list. Though.

[Mad Dog]

Tennessee Titans. He was. That was the team.

[Big T]

I don't. If you hadn't narrowed it down to division, I don't know that we.

[Stephen Che]

No, no.

[Big T]

I mean, it would have taken us a long. We just would have gone team by team and listed every quarter quarterback that we could think of.

[Mad Dog]

I know. I, I, I. When you guys were getting on the Texans thing, I was like, please don't do that. But did. I was going to say, did Ryan Tannehill. Was he ever Aryan's quarterback when he was on the Dolphins?

[Big T]

Oh, I don't know.

[Stephen Che]

I don't think so.

[Big T]

I just remember his. His wife one time got stopped by the police because she had an AR15 in the back of her car. It was a rental. No, what happened was she returned a rental car and she accidentally left an AR15 in the trunk of it. Who amongst us hasn't done that?

[Mad Dog]

Who amongst us also. Is Ryan Tannehill still actively playing?

[Big T]

No.

[Mad Dog]

Okay.

[Big T]

I think he had some. Some leg issues. Yeah.

[Mad Dog]

It says his last season was 2023.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog]

Sorry it took you so long.

[Big T]

No, it's okay. I think we did okay.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, you guys did pretty good. Like, right off the road.

[Big T]

I mean, who would have ever thought Ryan Tannehill would be on that list? Who are the most surprising ones in that. That list? Big T. T. Hill, Tana Hill, Nick Foles.

[Mad Dog]

I feel like.

[Big T]

Yeah, but we.

[Stephen Che]

But he did, like, you remember that? He played great.

[Big T]

I think that was that a Chip Kelly year. I think it was. Because I don't think that was the super bowl year. I want to say it was like 2014, 2015.

[Stephen Che]

Well, because super Bowl.

[Mad Dog]

He took over, like it was 2013.

[Big T]

2013. He had two interceptions that whole season.

[Mad Dog]

I think 2013 would have been Chip Kelly wouldn't have.

[Big T]

Yeah, I think it might have been.

[Mad Dog]

Or was it. It wasn't Andy Reid.

[Big T]

No, I think. I think it was Chip Kelly. All right, That's a good guess. Good guessing game. Mackenzie, how did it go out there? McKenzie just stopped by the act to take part in more of the fine flavor of love with McKenzie.

[Mackenzie]

Yes. Yeah. So we have the. There's four coming in tomorrow. And basically we saw. I saw like, their living room bathroom, like a date outfit and their refrigerator.

[Big T]

How the fridges look?

[Mackenzie]

They looked fine, actually.

[Mad Dog]

I have access to the slideshow right now. I'm looking at it. Some of these dudes have a nice.

[Big T]

Fridge, but if you're taking a picture of your fridge, you probably clean it up, right?

[Mackenzie]

You're going to set it up I'd assume most of them set up the photos. At least I'd hope. Put some effort in.

[Big T]

Got baking powder in there.

[Mad Dog]

I'm looking at the really nice fridge.

[Mackenzie]

I don't see there's one really nice, like, living room apartment. Like exposed brick on the whole thing.

[Mad Dog]

Loft.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah. Loft style.

[Mad Dog]

I'm into this one.

[Mackenzie]

He's the limbo guy.

[Big T]

Wait, what do you mean?

[Mackenzie]

His talent is limbo.

[Big T]

That's a great talent.

[Mackenzie]

So that's the whole thing, Parker. Limbo.

[Big T]

Is he a smaller guy?

[Mackenzie]

No, I think he's like six feet.

[Big T]

Oh. If you're a six foot guy that's in limbo, that's pretty good.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Because. So I. I know a lot of small guys that just tear it up on the limbo.

[Mackenzie]

Right. Like I could. I crush it at limbo.

[Big T]

Yeah. That's my favorite move, by the way, to pull out a wedding.

[Mad Dog]

The belt.

[Big T]

I can do it. Yeah. I do it like once every year. Maybe once every other year the party gets going, you take the belt off and then you and a buddy hold the belt out.

[Mackenzie]

Yep.

[Big T]

And then you get the limbo going. Great move at a wedding. Great move at like a crowded bar. If there's like a little dance floor area going on, it really gets people in the zone.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah.

[Big T]

People love it.

[Mackenzie]

I agree. It's always fun.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mackenzie]

No matter what.

[Mad Dog]

Good wedding day.

[Mackenzie]

But. But yeah. So I know, like, there's a dj.

[Big T]

Okay. Is it Dante?

[Mad Dog]

DJ Decadence.

[Mackenzie]

DJ Decadence.

[Big T]

Would you go on a date with Dante?

[Mackenzie]

No.

[Big T]

Seems kind of mean. No, that's a fair answer.

[Mackenzie]

I don't know if he's in my age range. I'll say that. That's what I'm saying.

[Mad Dog]

Also, we've learned recently that dating co workers maybe is not always the best idea.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah. I don't want to get swept up in that drama.

[Big T]

Recently we learned that.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, yeah. Just recently. We've just.

[Big T]

Right.

[Mackenzie]

It was only by example. But no. Yeah. They seem nice. They're coming in tomorrow.

[Big T]

So let me ask you guys, did we talk about that on the show? About the location thing, like sharing locations?

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, I don't think we.

[Mackenzie]

I don't think we did.

[Big T]

Is that something that the. The youths do?

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, I've got like 30 people's locations.

[Big T]

Really?

[Stephen Che]

I think it's more a girl thing.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah, I think it is too.

[Mad Dog]

I check.

[Mackenzie]

It's definitely a young thing as well.

[Mad Dog]

I check on my friends, like when we go home from the bar, when I want to know what everyone's up to. If someone Calls. If I call someone and they don't answer.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog]

I check their location to be like, are they busy?

[Big T]

I think the only friend whose location I have is Hanks. No, he has mine. He has mine. That's right. I think I gave him my location four years ago when we were out on the road somewhere.

[Mad Dog]

Right.

[Big T]

Just never took it back.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah.

[Big T]

So Hank at any time could just check in on me. Spy.

[Mackenzie]

Yep.

[Big T]

Hank would never share his location because it would always be on the golf course.

[Mad Dog]

But I love sharing locations.

[Big T]

Do you?

[Mad Dog]

Yeah.

[Big T]

You don't feel like, I mean, you want your friends to know where you are?

[Mad Dog]

I have nothing to hide.

[Big T]

Yeah. But like, just being mysterious.

[Mad Dog]

Like, if I need to be mysterious.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog]

Then you can turn it off. Like, I'll pause it sometimes, but then that's more.

[Mackenzie]

Then they'll know. Yeah.

[Mad Dog]

Yeah. But then it's just like, well, I guess that's how we got into a mess. Or not me. Other people got into a mess at work. But I don't. I don't. Sometimes though, like, it genuinely is like you're in a bad location for service and it just says like, no location found. So. Yeah, no, but I never really turned mine off. I don't think about it that much.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah, I don't really have an opinion on it either way. I like. I think it's fine to share them. I am pro if you want to, but if you don't, don't.

[Big T]

Well, Hank can tell you where I am. If you ever can't find me, hit him.

[Mackenzie]

Yeah.
