[Big T]

[PFT Commenter]

I'm a tee. You up to get teed off.

[Big T]

So you recall earlier this year I said I was going to start following a high school football team around these parts, and I did. Downers Grove north had a great season.

[PFT Commenter]

The north will rise again.

[Big T]

Sure. And they. They just won their quarterfinal playoff game. They're in the semifinals. I went to four games this year. All the playoff games are on Saturdays. I don't know whose idea this was, but it's. Well, here's the. I don't know if I mentioned this on the show. Some of the games are the. Even regular season games are on Saturdays because some of these schools don't have lights.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Do you know this?

[PFT Commenter]

I've. I've heard. Yeah.

[Big T]

Yeah. So some of these schools just don't have lights on the football field, so they have to play on Saturdays. So obviously I miss those. But now they're playing all the playoff games on Saturdays, and I can't. I can't miss college football Saturday.

[PFT Commenter]

No.

[Big T]

So we're now into the semifinals. It's on Saturday again. And then if they make the state championship, it's the week of Thanksgiving, so Saturday, on Saturday, that stuff.

[PFT Commenter]

So you're out. So if you see. You've seen your last north game for the year.

[Big T]

So we might win the state title in my inaugural season, and I can't go to any of the playoff games.

[PFT Commenter]

Do they live stream them?

[Big T]

I didn't find one on Saturday, no.

[PFT Commenter]

Wow, that's tough.

[Big T]

Beat Lincoln way west. Lincoln way East.

[PFT Commenter]

That's. That's really tough. They're. Yeah. Alienating a core segment of their fan base.

[Big T]

Yeah. I mean, you. I mean, if I was a parent and I don't know what I'd do.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, it's. That's.

[Big T]

You're telling me I'm missing Tennessee, New Mexico State for a. For a high school playoff game.

[PFT Commenter]

Why don't they have lights?

[Big T]

I don't know.

[PFT Commenter]

I feel like every high school had lights.

[Big T]

I can't believe that's legal.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. How. How is that a thing? Do they need money? What's. What's going on?

[Big T]

Saturday afternoon sun instead of Friday.

[PFT Commenter]

Listen, the nice thing about high school football is it does provide, like, a gathering place for the community. Right. It, like, brings a neighborhood together.

[Big T]

We have laws preventing the NFL from getting rid of that.

[PFT Commenter]

Right.

[Big T]

We have laws protecting the sanctity of Friday night high school football.

[PFT Commenter]

It is true. It is true. You're not allowed to play NFL games on Friday nights for the most part.

[Big T]

Until a certain date.

[PFT Commenter]

Until a certain date. So that, you know, the kids can have their time in the sun or under the lights. Yeah. I don't like that for you. I'm sorry, Big T. Yeah.

[Big T]

Crazy.

[PFT Commenter]

But, hey, congratulations.

[Big T]

Best of luck to those guys. Owen Lanceau in the gang. They're. They're playing great football. I wish I was there to see it.

[PFT Commenter]

Congratulations for, you know, on making the semifinals. Yeah, It's a big deal.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

So who do you play?

[Big T]

I believe it's Brother Rice high school. Brother Rice on the south side of Chicago. Yeah. That's a big.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Tony Soprano had a heart attack when he saw that in the. In the pantry.

[Aaron]

He did.

[PFT Commenter]

Aaron, you should watch the Sopranos. You would have liked that joke.

[Aaron]

Yeah, I'm sure it hit, though. That sounded amazing.

[PFT Commenter]

Tony was so racist that every time he would see a black guy, he would get, like, a. A panic attack. And at one point, he opened up his pantry, and his daughter had just started dating a. A guy that was half Jewish, half African American, and he Opened up. He was, like, feeling really upset about that. He opens up the pantry, and then there's a big box of Uncle Ben's. And he sees it and he passes out because he's so angry.

[Aaron]

That joke is funny.

[PFT Commenter]

It would have. It would. It would have hit so hard.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

If you had seen this.

[Aaron]

No, no, I'm so. I apologize. But I'm sure you're a funny guy.

[PFT Commenter]

If we clip that. Just clip it before the explanation of the joke. Because when you explain a joke, it's. It actually gets a million times funnier.

[Big T]

What's that brand now?

[PFT Commenter]

Uncle Ben's.

[Big T]

But no. Didn't they change it?

[PFT Commenter]

No, I think it's still Uncle Ben's. It might just be Ben's. I don't know.

[Big T]

Well, they changed. They changed Aunt Jemima.

[PFT Commenter]

Is she just Jemima?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

No, it's Pearl Milling Company.

[Big T]

Yeah. Oh, you didn't know this?

[PFT Commenter]

No, I knew that. They changed the bottle.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's now Ben's Original.

[Big T]

Original.

[PFT Commenter]

I gotta say, I don't. There. There's only a few things in this world that I'm a, A real, like, hipster snob about. My syrup's one of them. I gotta have good syrup.

[Big T]

So what, are you loyal to one brand?

[PFT Commenter]

No, no.

[Big T]

I, I, it just can't be, like, store.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, just not store. I, I like getting the, like, Vermont, New Hampshire maple syrup, Canadian maple syrup.

[Aaron]

Real, real, like, fresh off the tree type.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, it is so much better too.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Noel]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

All that, you know, fructose corn, sir. I feel you. Yeah, I feel you.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Although there is something called. I think it's called Depression syrup, which is a terrible name for it, but.

[Aaron]

Somebody used to eat that for years.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, it's just how you used to make syrup back in, like, the 1920s or if you didn't have any money. And it's, like, very, very easy to make, and it's actually not bad.

[Aaron]

But just sugar water.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, sugar water, pretty much.

[Big T]

So you'll have any brand as long as it's just a, A brand you recognize?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I, I like to get. No, not even one that I recognize. I just like to get some, you know, like, obscure, small family farm syrups.

[Big T]

Oh, okay. So you actually don't want a big brand?

[PFT Commenter]

I don't like the big brands, no.

[Big T]

Okay.

[PFT Commenter]

But there are a couple. If it's, like, authentic Vermont maple syrup, that's fine. I'm okay with that. But I like to get real, like, artisanal.

[Big T]

You want in one of the small containers with the little coffee mug handle Hanging off of it.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, exactly. I want one. Like maybe the bottle has a cap on it that's like a little crooked because somebody screwed it on by hand before they shipped it. They didn't do a great job, but I could tell that somebody actually did it. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah.

[Big T]

You, you like human imperfections?

[PFT Commenter]

Yes. The label is like a little misaligned on it, that sort of thing because somebody slapped it on there with their hands. I'm a SERP snobby. I'll, I'll cop to that. We got a lot to get into today on macrodosing. A lot, A lot's happened since we last visited. There have been so many more emails that came out. Yeah, this is like email week. It's just one right after the other. How many do they have? How, how long are we going to keep dripping these things out for? I don't even know where to start with most like explosive emails from the, from the Epstein document dump that's been happening.

[Aaron]

My dog, my 16 year old daughter text me this morning and she said, hey bro. She said, hey bro. Are the emails real? 16 years old, though? Yeah. I was like, I, I, I mean allegedly they're real. Right. But like I'm waiting for like the official confirmation for them to release all the files before I dig too deep into this. Or maybe they have yet, have they? Is this actually from him?

[PFT Commenter]

Yes. They've been releasing a lot of emails that are from Epstein. Epstein copied on him, Epstein's brother, people in his orbit, Steve Bannon. There's been a lot of stuff that's been coming out and so far all that I've seen, I, I believe are all like legitimate. They're definitely going to be some fake ones that start floating around there. But for the most part what I've seen, it's been real. And we should also say that like there's nothing in there that is like the smoking gun. Although there's a lot of stuff that's Epstein and his associates talking about people back in like, you know, 2015, 2016, and they could be making stuff up as they email back and forth, but I don't know why you'd be making stuff up in 2015 or 2016 only for it to come out so much later. So, so it's not like necessarily ironclad proof, but there has been a lot of going back and forth between Epstein and a lot of his associates and it's been, it's been pretty crazy. So there was one that came out that said that Epstein was advising the Russian government on how to best connect with Donald Trump on a personal level, like how to deal with his personality. So Epstein was talking to ambassadors from Russia, and they were talking to President Putin, and Epstein was giving them advice. Epstein was giving Israeli intelligence advice. And it just. It's exactly.

[Big T]

This is.

[PFT Commenter]

You know what, it's the rare scandal, the rare conspiracy that so far has delivered in terms of how deep it goes, more so than any other conspiracy. I think it's like everything you thought about Epstein appears to have been true.

[Big T]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

[Aaron]

I'm excited. I mean. Yeah, I haven't dug into. I'm ready to. You have all the emails?

[PFT Commenter]

I don't. I don't have all of them. You can, you can find them online. They've got.

[Big T]

Who released those?

[PFT Commenter]

So these were released by the House of Representatives.

[Big T]

Okay. I didn't know if they leaked from somewhere else.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, the, the Oversight Committee got their hands on them, and they've been releasing them. They've been redacting some. Like, there was one that said it was talking about how. How Trump spent a lot of time alone with one of the victims. And then they redacted the victim's name. And then the Republicans released the same email, but they did not redact the victim's name. Who is Virginia Joffre. And I'm still not sure how to pronounce her name. She recently passed away, but she was one of the Epstein victims, who at times has said very incriminating things about a lot of people and also at times has exonerated Donald Trump from her interactions with him. So I think that's why the Republicans chose to not redact her name, because if it just said victim, then it could be implied that it was somebody that has accused Trump of doing bad things. But there's been a lot of stuff that's gone back and forth. Like there was one between Jalaine and Jeffrey Epstein, and she was like, yeah, Donald Trump is the dog that hasn't barked yet, and we got to start figuring out what we're going to do with him. There was one, you know, you know, who, like, was a surprise in terms of how he came off in these emails. That guy, Michael Wolf, the author slash quote journalist that's been working on a lot of these Epstein stories. He's the one that has released, like, a bunch of voice conversations with Jeffrey Epstein about Donald Trump, talking about the, like, depths of their friendship. So Wolf has painted himself recently as being like a. A friend to the Democratic Party and anti Trump guy. And what was actually happening is he was just great friends with all of them. And he was like a big part of, like running PR for Epstein. And when Trump was running for president, he was telling Epstein, here's how you handle this. You either can take a step forward, because CNN is about to ask Donald Trump about his relationship with you. You can step forward and you can exonerate Donald Trump, thereby creating a debt that he will then owe you, or you can try to get after him or threaten him that you're going to talk about your relationship and use that as leverage over Donald Trump, who might be the next president. So, like, this guy was. He just comes off as like a huge, huge scumbag that's probably not to be trusted on most things based how he appears. There's. There's just like a whole bunch of stuff. Now, the craziest one that came out, I think on Friday was blowing Bubba.

[Big T]

Are we allowed to, like, allegedly.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, well, no, that's what it's in the email. The email said that. So if we're going, if we're going through the emails, Epstein, who's, whose email address was jeevacationmail.com his middle name's probably something that starts with an E. I'm guessing the man just love vacations. And so he was going back and forth with his brother, Mark Epstein, and they were talking about Steve Bannon, and he said, bannon's with me right now. And then Mark Epstein says, ask him if Putin has the photos of Trump blowing Bubba. And this was sent on March 21, 2018. And then Jeffrey Epstein replied, and I thought I had cirrus. I think that's how you pronounce it. It's like a Yiddish word meaning, like, troubles. So he's like, I thought I was in trouble. But now you brought up the picture of Trump blowing Bubba. And Mark Epstein says, you and your boy Donnie can make a remake of the movie get hard.

[Big T]

All these, the things when they're talking to each other, like they talk in this weird. Like you can make out enough to understand what they're saying, but it's also like the words are arranged weirdly and like it's, it's this weird code.

[PFT Commenter]

It is very strange. And one other thing that I noticed about Epstein, this is going to be very incriminating for me.

[Aaron]

That's horrible.

[PFT Commenter]

It is.

[Aaron]

Holy fam.

[PFT Commenter]

I've never seen another human do the double comma instead of doing like three dot, dot, dots.

[Big T]

I didn't know that was an option.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. He's a big double comma guy.

[Big T]

Why is that incriminating?

[PFT Commenter]

When I was blogging, that was. That was like the. The PFT calling card. Instead of a dot, dot, dot, or a period, I would go double comma, because I'd never seen it used before. And I was like, this is how an idiot would write.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But you were doing a bit.

[Big T]

But is that an actual.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, but I mean, I'm the only other. I. I should stop talking, Right. My lawyers advised me to stop talking.

[Big T]

Is that a thing you can actually do, or you did it as. Like, this is improper.

[PFT Commenter]

I did it as something that is clearly improper.

[Big T]

Okay.

[PFT Commenter]

Because it's not something that anybody does. Except for Jeff. Jeffrey Epstein.

[Big T]

Got it.

[Aaron]

That is actually kind of funny, though. Okay, maybe.

[PFT Commenter]

Or maybe he was just a. Maybe he was a fan of mine. Maybe he was reading my blogs and he adopted the double comma for me.

[Big T]

That was about the time you were cooking.

[PFT Commenter]

It is. It's like. Right. The time frame matches up. Anyways. Yeah, Big T is right. They do talk in, like, a really weird code. It's hard to parse sometimes. It's very, very strange. Now, who do we think Bubba is? And what do you think Mark Epstein meant by. Ask him if Putin has the photos of Trump blowing Bubba.

[Big T]

Could be Hubba Bubba. Bubble gum.

[PFT Commenter]

That's a good point. Bubba Sparks.

[Big T]

There is a rumor that Bubba refers to a specific individual.

[PFT Commenter]

Bill Clinton. His nickname was Bubba. He was a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein's. Oh, also in the files, there's one email that was sent that really implies that Hillary Clinton was having an affair with Vince Foster.

[Big T]

I know who that is, but why don't you tell.

[PFT Commenter]

Vince Foster worked in the Clinton White House as a lawyer. He's the guy that shot himself allegedly in the park.

[Big T]

Again, not familiar with that story either.

[PFT Commenter]

That was body number one on the alleged Clinton 1993.

[Aaron]

Ah, yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Now, he was going through, like, some indictments and some. Some personal troubles as well when he shot himself. Allegedly. But that's. That's like round zero for why people think that there is a Clinton body list.

[Big T]

Okay, I do know who you're talking about now. I didn't know what his name was.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. So in one of the emails, it's implied that she was having an affair with him. So I. Again, I know that we can take that as the gospel because it was an email that was written way after the fact, but that is one of the things that's out there, and if there's anything that incriminates Bill Clinton. I say lock his ass up. Throw him in prison.

[Aaron]

But we already. He's a serial creep. Yeah, we already know that. Like, and if. If any of this is incriminating. Yeah. Put that under the jail.

[PFT Commenter]

Yep.

[Aaron]

And last time I seen him, he was looking kind of sickly, too, though. He was looking like he was about to kick a. Kick a bucket or two.

[Big T]

How old is he?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

79. Same age as Trump.

[PFT Commenter]

So somebody came out and said that the. The Bubba in question is not Bill Clinton.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

There was a man, like, named Bubba. I saw.

[PFT Commenter]

There could have been a man named Bubba. It could also refer to Bill Clinton. And it could be that Putin has, like, a bunch of pictures that he's created to, like, bust balls of. Of foreign leaders blowing each other. I could see that happening. There's probably some more that. That Trump would do for fun, but I could see Putin doing it, too, so who knows? But, I mean, would that be. Would that be the biggest news story of all time?

[Aaron]

One of them.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I mean, Trump sucking Bill Clinton and.

[PFT Commenter]

Putin had a picture of Trump sucking Bill Clinton's dick.

[Big T]

I mean, Bill Clinton getting blown by an intern was the biggest story ever. So I have to assume, yeah, this.

[PFT Commenter]

Trump's. This, like.

[Big T]

Nope.

[PFT Commenter]

No pun intended. Yeah, no, this. Absolutely. I think that is the biggest news story of all time.

[Aaron]

Yeah. It would have to be. A foreign leader has a criminating revenge porn of a prep. Two presidents.

[PFT Commenter]

Two presidents that hate each other.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Yeah. Do you think they hate each other?

[Aaron]

I think Trump's been talking shit about Bill Clinton for a better part of.

[Big T]

Two decades, but they were friends for years, and they're like, I bet they've played golf together who knows how many hundreds of times.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I think they're probably great friends.

[Big T]

Yeah, I don't think.

[PFT Commenter]

I think there were great friends. And Bill Clinton was probably always like, let's, like, didn't really trust Trump, but he was like, he's a hell of a time to hang out with. He's rich. He writes me checks. Trump was probably like, you know, Trump can't really stand anybody that's powerful unless it's him. So he probably had, like, a little thing where he. He didn't love Bill Clinton, but they were friends. They hung out all the time. And then once Hillary started getting involved in public office, Trump wrote her some. Some checks to support her. And then when she ran against him, I think at that point, I think at that point, Bill had to cut Trump off for life. Even though there are some things they said where he was probably like, he's a funny man.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Do we have evidence of them talking? At whose funeral was it that Barack Obama and him were talking?

[PFT Commenter]

Was that hw?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Oh, Jimmy Carter.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

How could I forget?

[Big T]

I thought it was before that, but.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Do you know what I'm talking about?

[Big T]

Yeah, I think it might have been Bush. Either way.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Either way, whatever that funeral was, is there evidence of. Let's call it Jimmy Carter? Because obviously he was a former president. He would be there. Is there evidence of them talking there? I don't remember that meme that was going around of Obama and Trump talking when Kamala was turned around.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I think there were two different ones, because there was one where George Bush and Michelle Obama got along really well.

[Aaron]

Right.

[PFT Commenter]

W. Yes.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I believe that was at an inauguration. Maybe don't quote me on that, but I wonder if there's evidence or I guess that's incriminating word, but pictures of them talking post all of this.

[Big T]

It was at Jimmy Carter's funeral.

[Aaron]

Okay. Rest in peace always.

[PFT Commenter]

And so now Trump has announced that he is doing an investigation into the Epstein and saying, like, yeah, release everything.

[Aaron]

All right, so is this, like, a little ploy, or am I reading too deep into this? Because that's. That's the. The excuse that the Democrats used why they couldn't release the files while Biden was in office. Right. It was because there was an open investigation and, like, they have, like, legal precedent not to release some of those.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

Files. So Trump is an. All right, let's release it. And then he ordered to look into Bill Clinton and his. And investigate his standing and all of this, that would reopen in litigation, which would seal the files from being released again. Am I reading too deep of that? That's what it looks like.

[Big T]

Well, here was my thought was nothing in this would shock me at this point. Like, who knows what's in there? But it still does stand to reason to me that if Trump was, like, incriminated in this, it would have been released when the Democrats were in power. But whether that's true or not, what if this is the thing that he was trying to get it prevented from being released? For what? The Clinton thing.

[Aaron]

So he was trying to protect.

[Big T]

Well, no, he's not in there for what people think he is. It's that he was. It was this.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, so it's all that. So the Trump blowing Bubba thing was the one thing he didn't want released.

[Big T]

That thought came to my mind. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, that would also presume that they had gone through the entire database of emails. Because there's no way that Trump would have known that an email existed about him blowing Bill Clinton.

[Big T]

Well, unless someone told him.

[PFT Commenter]

Unless someone told him. Yeah. I don't know.

[Aaron]

And then they did the most. Like when a dude like gets caught cheating on his girlfriend, like what's the first thing he do? He, he posts a picture of him publicly on the, on the gram or on social media. Right. So like when all this comes out, the first thing they do is post a picture of him and Melania. And I'm like, yeah, that's the wrong move.

[PFT Commenter]

That is true.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

There was also a crazy part of the emails or the document dump that got released where it shows Epstein potentially texting with a member of Congress during a hearing where they were interviewing Michael Cohen, former recurring guest of Macrodosing.

[Big T]

Yep.

[Aaron]

Oh, fuck, I forgot he was on this show.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, Trump's former lawyer. That's crazy that that had a falling out with him. So as they were doing a congressional, I guess it was a, it was testimony in Congress. Apparently Epstein was texting back and forth with a member of Congress advising her on what questions to be asking Michael Cohen. And if you watch in real time, you can see like the flow of the text going in, her reading the text and then her using those questions. So it was with Stacy Plaskett. There we go. Stacy Plaskett. It was 2019 and they were trying to get information about how the Trump Organization operated. And Epstein was trying to get her to inquire about the executive assistant, Rona Graff, and her name had not been brought up yet. She asked about this individual and then Michael Cohen agreed and said that she was a major part of everything, thereby opening up a, like a new avenue for the investigation. And so Plaskett is a representative for the U.S. virgin Islands. She's a non voting delegate. But yeah, Epstein was saying that's his assistant. Ask about her.

[Big T]

Well, no, he said Cohen brought up Rona, Keeper of the Secrets. She texts back Rona, question mark, question mark, and then has my favorite text, quick, I'm up next. Is that an acronym? And then Epstein says, no, that's his assistant.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Did we know that these guys are just on their phones like in the middle of congressional hearings? Is that allowed?

[PFT Commenter]

I think it's allowed, yeah.

[Big T]

That feels like something that should change.

[PFT Commenter]

Like once you go in there.

[Big T]

Yeah. You put your phone in a basket or something. Why? I don't know that I necessarily. Well, I mean, clear. I guess I do have a good reason for it. They're texting Jeffrey Epstein the middle of it. But even that aside, like, should that not be on, on your. Like, you should either be prepared for that or you're not. Like, what benefit would there be to them being on their phones?

[Aaron]

This, this one. So, I mean, so if, if you have a way. I'm assuming Jeffrey Epstein was working with them in whatever capacity, and they're trying to gather information on the record for it, I don't see a reason. I mean, you have the world at your fingertips. If you're, if you're, if you have information that maybe you didn't think of or the witness says something that you're like, oh, okay, well, this sparks, this idea. Boom, boom, boom. Leaves you another app. You should be able to have access to information because you're just, you're asking them questions.

[Big T]

Well, they have, they have AIDS and stuff who were, like, coming and giving them. They. That can look stuff up and things like that. But I've seen that happen.

[Aaron]

Give me the, Give me the. What, what is the bad part in that? It's, it's, it's, it's already filmed publicly, so it's not about them releasing information. So what.

[PFT Commenter]

Give me the.

[Big T]

What do you mean, releasing the information?

[Aaron]

Yeah. So what is the downside of them having their devices?

[Big T]

Do you think they should be able to be texting people, like, asking for questions seconds before they're. I mean, put aside. Even if it's Jeffrey Epstein.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Really?

[Aaron]

But why not, though? That's what I mean, why not?

[Big T]

Because that feels like you should be prepared for that as a congressperson and be like, like, ready to go.

[Aaron]

But so my point was like, if.

[Big T]

And then obviously you can have actors, you know, changing things at the last minute like that.

[Aaron]

But what I'm saying is, like, if, if you could. So I've been to trial before. If you could come prepared as you want. It's a, it's a, it's a, it's.

[PFT Commenter]

Kind of like a freestyle.

[Aaron]

So when something happens, you react to it and you can, you can, I guess, predict their moves the best as possible. But if they do something different, if they say something different, that could spark a new idea, but you need to verify that idea, blah, blah, blah. They should be able to do so.

[Big T]

I agree with that. Give him a computer that you can't text on or something.

[Aaron]

Well, what's the. I'm saying, what's the down. What is the why not?

[Big T]

That just seems kind of insane. Does it not?

[Aaron]

Give me a reason, though. You're saying it's insane.

[Big T]

They're texting Jeffrey Epstein in the middle of congressional hearings.

[Aaron]

She, they, they, those were good questions that needed to get answered.

[PFT Commenter]

No, I do think that this is, it's a little bit different from taking a test. And it's like once you sit down to take the test, you can't be texting or on your phone because if you do, let's say that somebody that you're working with does give you good information that should be asked. I don't see a problem with that.

[Big T]

But they can have, I've seen people come in and give them information, like during. And then they have that. So they have people that are, and, and like, I agree with, you have a computer that you just can't text on or something.

[Aaron]

But so in this, in this particular instance, Jeffrey Esting had personal knowledge with Cohen.

[Noel]

Right.

[Aaron]

And so in that instance, your witness could be like, okay, if he says this, like, oh, no, that's bullshit. He's lying. Ask him this and you'll trip him up. Like, that is valuable. That is, should be, absolutely, should be allowed. You can't prepare for everything a witness is going to say. But, like, if you have like an insider information that can give you real time feedback, why not.

[Big T]

But then should that person not be required to be there and like, testify instead of just texting?

[Aaron]

It's not, it's not a trial per se.

[Big T]

It's a, it's an official congressional hearing.

[Aaron]

That's what I'm saying. But it's not.

[PFT Commenter]

Ideally you'd want them to be prepared.

[Big T]

But I, I guess I'm not married to this idea. It just seems kind of insane that Jeffrey Epstein is texting that he was.

[PFT Commenter]

Directing the flow of questioning during congressional testimony. Yes, I, I agree. That is, that's very weird and it should be looked into. She was represented from the Virgin Islands where Jeffrey had his island, so who knows how deep her connections with him run in this case. It seems like Epstein was intimately familiar with the inner workings of the Trump Organization and he had an ax to grind with Trump for whatever reason at that point. So he was trying to use his influence and his understanding of the subject matter to make life harder for Trump during this testimony. Doesn't mean that any of the questions that she asked that were then answered are untrue, necessarily, but it is. You also have to consider the source that she was being directed in live testimony by a pedophile by, like, the world's most wanted. Slash, what's the word I'm looking for?

[Aaron]

I don't look at it like that.

[PFT Commenter]

Prolific. Yes. I didn't want to say prestigious. Prolific.

[Aaron]

Prestigious is a while. Yeah, but I don't look at it like that. I look at it like, okay, if somebody gets caught in a RICO case, right, you'll have multiple parties testifying, working with the state. Yeah, yeah, we know you fucked up. We know you've broken the law. We know you've done dirt and grime. But you can give us information that helps us pin this on who it needs to be pinned on. Like, so if they're working with Epstein in whatever capacity, like, we know he's done dirt. We know. We know he's nailed to the cross already. If he is working with authorities to. To help take down or help incriminate other people that have done wrongdoing, I don't. I don't see the difference in that.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, there's also. There's a. A new train of thought that. And we've talked a little bit about, you know, the Epstein allegations about the sex trafficking, pedophilia. All that stuff gets a lot of attention, deservedly so. But there's also, like, another huge part of the story, which is all the financial crimes that Epstein was doing, helping some of the most powerful rich people in the entire world launder their money, keep their money secret, conduct backdoor transactions, all this stuff, tax evasion, you name it. There's a big part of that. And I've heard some people saying that maybe Trump might have been assisting with certain investigations that were ongoing against Jeffrey Epstein. As it pertains to some of the financial crimes, Trump might have been a rat that was on the inside, got caught for something by the FBI, and then he then, in turn, started providing information to the government to implicate Epstein and all this stuff, which could have been the genital, the. The. The start of their. Their beef that they had, also because Epstein was stealing his girls.

[Aaron]

You think. You think Trump knocked him off?

[PFT Commenter]

Yo, like, how do you think people would react to that? How do you think either both sides would react to that? Not knock. No. Not knocked him off. Knock. I. I'm not saying killed him, although some people have. Have questioned that. But a lot of people have been implicated in Epstein's death. For a while, it was like, yeah, the Clintons did this. I think it's not outside the world's possibility that a very powerful person had him killed. But no, I'm putting that aside. I'm saying, like, how do you think both sides would react to the fact that if Trump were a rat back in, like, the late 2000s, early 2000s. And he was giving information to the FBI against either Epstein or some of the other people that Epstein was working with. Let's say. Let's say hypothetically, and this is all a hypothetical situation, but this is how criminal investigations work. If they found evidence that Trump was laundering money, and let's say it was a relatively small amount compared to the amounts of money that Epstein handled, like, let's say it was like $50 million, and Trump was laundering that money with Epstein, the government found that, and they said, hey, Donnie, you're going to go to prison for 30 years. However, if you give us some insight as to how this operation is going on, we're not going to charge you at all, and you can cooperate with us. And so if Trump was working with the FBI back then, how do you think that would paint him right now in terms of how either party looks at him?

[Aaron]

I think he's. I think he would be. He would lose standing with both. Well, he already has lost one, but even more so, I think he would lose more standing because this whole thing was to get rid of the FBI.

[PFT Commenter]

Maybe because a lot of people out there.

[Aaron]

That's what I'm saying. I don't know. I find it improbable anyway, though, because usually when people do that, there's your name's on some kind of paperwork, they leave a paper trail, but I don't know, to this high caliber. It could be. They could. They could do it differently. It's. I don't know.

[Big T]

Well, it seems like they were kind of just emailing each other back and forth from an iPad with their names on it, detailing every crime.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, well, I guess Arian's saying, like, from the, like at the FBI offices, they would, like, refer to you as Criminal informant number three or whatever.

[Aaron]

So there's usually paperwork involved when you work with the state.

[PFT Commenter]

I think that it would. I think Republicans would find a way to spin that as a win, that it turns out that. That Trump was working to, like, tear down this big network. I think. I think Democrats would also try to spin that as a win, being like, he got caught as a criminal and he was working with them. Because, you remember, the speaker of the House implied that Trump was working with the FBI. Like, I'm not creating this narrative out of nowhere. Speaker Johnson implied that when they were asking about the Epstein stuff, and he, like, on the record, implied that Trump may have been working with the FBI. And nobody really goes to the FBI and says, hey, you know, What I'd like to do. Can you just. Can I wear a wire for you guys? I think that'd be cool. Like, that's not, that's not how the investigations work. It's like they catch you doing something and then now they got you, and then you're compelled to wear a wire for some reason or provide evidence.

[Aaron]

Yeah, I don't know, man. This is. This is juicier than Watergate, man.

[PFT Commenter]

It's fun because, like, we get to use our imaginations. Like, everything I just said, everything I just said right now is like, yeah, maybe a little bit of fan fiction, maybe also based in reality. It could just be a hundred percent not true. I don't think it's outside the scope of reality, but you kind of let your mind wander a little bit and you start connecting dots. But there's. There's already plenty of dots out there that you can connect on your own, and you don't really need to make up stuff like I did. I'm just saying, like, what. What if? How crazy would that be? So I. Yeah, we're going to get more stuff coming out. More stuff. Trump had a little meeting, a little POW Wow with Ms. Beetlejuice last week in the Oval Office. What's she been up to?

[Aaron]

Who's Ms. Beetlejuice?

[PFT Commenter]

Representative. Yeah. Boebert.

[Aaron]

Okay.

[PFT Commenter]

She was dating Kid Rock for a while. Mrs.

[Big T]

Kid Rock, you're not familiar with. With her escapades at the theater. Google Lauren Boebert. Beetle Juice.

[Aaron]

Okay. I want to see.

[Big T]

It's exciting to get to see someone find this out for the first time.

[Aaron]

Beetle Juice, Esquire.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, okay.

[Aaron]

I remember hearing about this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I, I didn't know that. That, that's what that was. That was the show, I guess.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, yeah. Beetlejuice.

[Aaron]

So she, she fell short of her value. She said.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

As we all do, you know, for we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

[PFT Commenter]

Amen, Lauren.

[Aaron]

Let the church say.

[PFT Commenter]

And then, then it. Marjorie Taylor Greene has also appeared to turn her back on. On President Trump. And that she been, she been.

[Aaron]

She's been snapping lately that has, that.

[PFT Commenter]

Has people on both sides really unsure how to act.

[Aaron]

Yeah. You can look at it one of two ways. Either she's like, realizing, okay, he was full of the whole time, or maybe she's realizing the ship is sinking and the well is run dry.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

And so she's, she's, she's your rats jumping off the ship. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

And some Democrats are like, yes, queen.

[Aaron]

Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't yes, queen it. I would. I would. Yeah. I wouldn't yes, queen it. But it's like, it's. It's good to see because, like, her main narrative that I. I'm happy to hear about it is like, she's. I've. I've taken part in the divisive politics. I've. I've been a part of that. I've been a reason for that, which I can appreciate that. You know what I mean? Like, because I've said for years now, like, it starts with our leadership. Once y' all start talking to each other like adults, the people will. But until y' all calm your emotions about this shit and start rationalizing what. How you're representing, then this country's gonna be chaos. We're always gonna disagree. But she's saying, yeah, hand up. You know, I've been a part of it. And then she started talking about how instead of foreign aid, we could do healthcare. We don't give our people health care. She's starting to spit. Like, I like it.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. And then you've got now some Republicans being like, this lady's crazy. So. Yeah, it's just kind of did not see this plot twist coming along.

[Big T]

Do you see what Trump named her?

[PFT Commenter]

Is it crazy Marge?

[Big T]

No.

[PFT Commenter]

What?

[Big T]

Marjorie Taylor Brown. Because when grass dies, it goes from green to brown. So she. She's rotten.

[PFT Commenter]

That's a pretty heavy analogy right there.

[Aaron]

Fucking.

[Big T]

And he also explained the whole joke toned in his. Well, in his truth. Social post. Lightweight Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Brown. Parentheses, green. Grass turns brown when it begins to rot. Exclamation point, betrayed the entire Republican Party.

[Aaron]

When she get him. Dog whistles is loud.

[PFT Commenter]

She's probably like, he called me lightweight.

[Aaron]

She has been working out. She's like a CrossFit girl, isn't she?

[PFT Commenter]

Big time CrossFit.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

She's always been.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. So this is. This is crazy. This has just been a crazy week. It's been a lot.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

I don't know what to expect next, but I think they're gonna try to get. I think all the.

[Aaron]

Kanye apologized to a bunch of Jews, didn't he?

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, yeah, yeah. He sat down with a rabbi.

[Aaron]

He kissed the rabbi's hand, and he.

[PFT Commenter]

Said, when I come back from these. From these breaks, these bipolar episodes, it's like when you leave your kid in the house and the kid, like, trashes the house and you come back and now you have to clean up after everything that happened, but it's kind of your fault for leaving. The kid in the house by itself.

[Aaron]

It'S, it's a real, it's a real thing. Like I, I, what he, what he did was like reprehensible and the amount of shit that he was, he was wilding. But like again, I could always appreciate somebody who takes accountability to a certain extent. I don't, I, I saw a clip of it. I don't know to what extent he actually did, but I saw him saying I apologize and what you. So I could appreciate it. I could appreciate a step towards like hey man, I up.

[Big T]

Is he like on tour in Asia or something right now? Because I keep seeing these videos of these concerts that are just insane and I think they're in Asia.

[Aaron]

He was in China last time I heard from him it was like a, like a month or two ago and he was in China and he, he has this line where he said I hate these more than the Nazis. He used to, he's talking about paparazzi. I think he like highlighted it or something like that or he, he originally took it out and put it back in or something like that. So he was still kind of tripping. But that was a long time ago. I don't.

[Big T]

But they still. Yet now they go nuts for him over there.

[Aaron]

Yeah, I mean he. One of the greatest artists of my generation for sure.

[Big T]

He's got some bangers.

[PFT Commenter]

Also in the, in the Epstein emails there was some stuff from Larry Summers. Larry Lawrence Summers. He was the Secretary of the treasury under Bill Clinton. He was good friends with Epstein. He was also the President of Harvard from 2001 to 2006. And he said, I observed that half the IQ in the world was possessed by women without mentioning they are more than 51% of the population, essentially implying that, that women are dumber than men. He also referenced Harvard's rescinded 2017 admission of Michelle Jones, who spent more than two decades in prison for killing her four year old son. And he compared her case to the school's reaction to hitting on a few women. He said, I'm trying to figure out why American elite think if you murder your baby by beating and abandonment, it must be irrelevant to your admission to Harvard. But if you hit on a few women 10 years ago and you can't work at a network or think tank. Do not repeat this insight in all caps. Basically saying like lamenting the fact that he got in trouble for being a creep and now he can't find a job anymore. But yet this woman that killed her baby got into Harvard, which I do understand why you Would feel like, hey, maybe that woman should not go to our university. But he's just tying it back to his. The fact that he was. He was a creep or an alleged creep. I also like him putting do not repeat this insight in all caps as a legal disclaimer. There's a lot of just really stupid people.

[Aaron]

Yep.

[PFT Commenter]

But, yeah, Kanye is. He's doing his apology tour. Give him. Give him a couple weeks, and then he'll say something that's just absolutely insane again.

[Aaron]

Yeah. It's hard to. It's hard. It's hard to walk back all the. You did.

[PFT Commenter]

But he made a song called Hail Hitler. Like, that's. How do you. How do you walk that back? You can start a beef with yourself. That would.

[Aaron]

I mean, that would take a lot of energy. It would be batshit crazy. Like, all of it's crazy. But wouldn't put it past him. But like I said. Yeah. I don't know that he'll ever hold the same place in my heart again, but I could appreciate somebody that apologizes.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Also just. We got a packed sheet that Big T sent over today. You want to talk about the congressperson that was busted looking at pornography.

[Big T]

So this is a very rare situation where it seems like every side has. Has kind of told the truth. So these pictures come out of. Let me find the guy's name.

[PFT Commenter]

Brad Sherman.

[Big T]

Brad Sherman. I believe he's from California. So he's on a plane on an iPad on full brightness. And he's looking at, like, it is so bright, dude. It's. I mean, it's glowing. And he's looking at, like, soft core Twitter porn. There doesn't seem to be any nudity, but it's all very. I mean, it's. You know, it's clear what he's looking at. So someone post this tweet says, why was California Congressman Brad Sherman. Why did California Congressman Bradshaw and feel it was appropriate to look at porn on his iPad during a flight today? His district deserves better representation than this. And then his response was, it wasn't porn. It was on my Twitter for you page.

[PFT Commenter]

Right.

[Big T]

Which it does appear is true. Which one means you're. You're seeking it out otherwise. And that's why it's on your for you page. But to, like, that's still. I mean, you can't look at that on a plane on full brightness.

[PFT Commenter]

Right.

[Big T]

If. Especially if you're a congressman.

[PFT Commenter]

Right.

[Big T]

And so he kind of admitted it. He was like, but it wasn't porn. It was. It was. It was just Twitter I was just scrolling Twitter. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

He said, I must have looked at more than a thousand posts during his flight. Is it pornography? I don't think Elon Musk thinks so. Is it appropriate? No. He says he does not have a problem with pornography. But in this case, it's all about the algorithms. The pictures came up because of the algorithms. If I see a picture of a woman, I might look at it longer than a sunset. Yeah.

[Aaron]

Quote, yo, if I see a picture of a woman, I might look at it longer than a sunset.

[Big T]

Also, there are three photographs of him. It's not one picture. It's in three separate frames. He's looking at different ones.

[PFT Commenter]

I think he looks at a lot of porn on Twitter. That's what I think. I think if I go to my for you page, it's very unlikely that there will be, like, a picture of OnlyFans model or anything like that that pops up. Has it happened before? Probably. There's probably been just a picture of a hot chick on my for you page. But this guy, it appears that his for you page is, like, entirely hot chicks.

[Big T]

And the one picture of him, his mouth is agape in a startling way.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Like, whoa.

[Big T]

Yeah, it's. It's just a weird situation.

[PFT Commenter]

All right, I'm on my for you page right now. Jeff Bezos popped up. Pug is right there. A picture from the Bucks Bills game. I'm scrolling. Here's Dave. Here's something from the Dozen trivia. Here is something from Viva Lestool.

[Aaron]

We doing a for you pages?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I'm looking at my for you page.

[Big T]

I've been getting a lot of Illinois politics recently.

[PFT Commenter]

I'm not seeing anything.

[Aaron]

All right, here's my. My first couple. It is. It's a. It's a tweet by. At Lucifer's tweets, and he said, atheists are better Christians than most Christians. And then above that, there's a Christian that has a meme that says, morality is subjective. I'm more moral than you. Killing babies is good, actually. And it's a guy pressing all three.

[Big T]

On the soda machine. I saw that.

[Aaron]

Yeah, that's an atheist that. That popped up. A representative from Texas, quote, tweeting the GOP.

[PFT Commenter]

That they.

[Aaron]

The GOP tweeted the economy is thankful for President Trump. Thanksgiving meal costs dropped 2% to 3% this year. Let's see my dog, Darius Slay, praying for recovery for Lane Johnson.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

No female.

[Big T]

I've got the Week 14 Big 12 TV schedule if anyone needs that on mine.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, nice.

[Big T]

Yeah. Utah at Kansas, 12 o', clock, ESPN on Friday, November 20th.

[Aaron]

Oh, and one of the most classic sports arena moments of all time. I don't know if y' all have seen it, but it's when Freeway had that song in Philly. And then there's a. And they show him on the Jumbotron. And then there's a woman that stands up and raps every single line of that.

[PFT Commenter]

Have you seen that?

[Aaron]

It's like a Philly classic. That is hard. But yeah, that's. That's basically my old battle battle rap shit too. Yep.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, there's. You'd have to look at a lot of porn on Twitter for that to just be all of your for you page.

[Aaron]

I separate, I compartmentalize. No way I'm bringing porn into my algorithm.

[PFT Commenter]

I think that's probably just what he uses for porn.

[Aaron]

Oh, Ryan Coogler confirms he's working on a Black Panther three. I'm in.

[PFT Commenter]

Huge four star edge.

[Big T]

Jordan Carter was on an official to Tennessee recently. Decommitted from A and M. Getting a.

[PFT Commenter]

Lot of JMU updates on here as well. Big T, let me ask you this. Jmu's got to be in the playoff, right?

[Big T]

I still think if North Texas wins out, they probably get it. But it's close. It's very close.

[PFT Commenter]

I guess we'll find out on Tuesday night.

[Big T]

Yeah. Tomorrow will be a big marker for you.

[PFT Commenter]

But I think JMU has a better strength of schedule and strength of record than unt.

[Big T]

Who do they finish with? North Texas.

[PFT Commenter]

I mean, UNT got their ass kicked.

[Big T]

By South Florida, so they finish with Rice and Temple. They'll win both those games. Then they'll play probably Tulane. You need to root hard for Tulane in that game.

[PFT Commenter]

I will, I will. Shout out Navy. Great job, Navy. I knew you guys could do it last week. Absolutely knew it.

[Big T]

North Texas did. The one thing in your favor is that they only played one of the other three best teams in the American and they got killed. They didn't play Memphis, they didn't play Tulane.

[PFT Commenter]

It's going to take a lot of mental gymnastics for them to put North Texas in over JMU, I think.

[Big T]

But who's JMU's best conference opponent that they beat?

[PFT Commenter]

Best conference opponent?

[Big T]

There's not a ton in the Sunbelt. Did they play Southern Miss?

[PFT Commenter]

I'd have to look at the schedule again. I should know all these things.

[Big T]

They didn't play Southern Miss. I don't think. I think they would in the championship game. Right?

[PFT Commenter]

I think they would. They are in the championship game already. They. They smashed Old Dominion.

[Big T]

I know that if they beat Southern Miss, that's a, That's a quality win.

[PFT Commenter]

They crushed Louisiana, crushed Texas State, crushed Marshall, Louisiana, Lafayette.

[Big T]

Don't let them change their name.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay, I won't. But. Yeah, we've just beaten the brakes off anybody that we played. I guess the one real thing you can say about JMU is that the team that is playing right now is a completely different team from the team that lost to Louisville.

[Big T]

And they didn't even have Barnett healthy.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, they played pretty good against Louisville, too. Louisville had, I think, two giant plays in the game that were the complete difference. We had some terrible punts too. That really fucked us up. But we didn't play bad in that game. We got beaten by 14 points. The game didn't feel like it was a 14 point game. And our starting quarterback, this, I think this is a legit excuse. He tore his ACL in like December of last year. And so then he was still getting back into shape on September 5 when they played Louisville. He's a much different player.

[Big T]

The committee does say they take that into account.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, we. We had to sub him out like every other play, every third play when we needed a quarterback that could run, we'd put Sluka in instead of Barnett and we don't do that anymore. Sluka gets some run and blowouts, but Barnett has just been an awesome player as the season's gone on, so.

[Big T]

Need a couple more games like Saturday where they just beat the piss out of people.

[PFT Commenter]

We do need that. We gotta crush Washington State this weekend too. Game Day will not be there.

[Big T]

Yeah, I saw some JMU website, like reported that it was. It was done.

[Aaron]

They did.

[Big T]

We're going to Oregon.

[PFT Commenter]

JMU Sports News reported it was a done deal. And Jamie, Sports News is now they're thinking about closing the entire website.

[Big T]

Oh, no.

[PFT Commenter]

Because they got that report wrong.

[Big T]

That's brutal.

[PFT Commenter]

They've worked for, I think, eight years to try to build up a name and credibility and they flush it all away on. On Sunday.

[Big T]

Damn.

[PFT Commenter]

By getting out ahead of that.

[Big T]

You gotta at least say, like, things are trending this way.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I think they probably had a source inside the athletic department that had been talking to Game Day and they were starting to make preparations, but as a contingency plan because they hadn't made the final call yet. Just being like, hey, would you guys in fact be ready if game day came there? And then I think they took that, ran with it, got over their skis a little bit. But yeah, it's Going back to Eugene, back to Oregon, but a fun weekend in college football. What'd you think, Big T?

[Big T]

They all are, brother.

[PFT Commenter]

They are.

[Big T]

We only have two more real ones left. Crazy.

[PFT Commenter]

The season flew by.

[Big T]

Yeah. Always does.

[PFT Commenter]

It absolutely flew by.

[Aaron]

I will fucking sound sad as.

[Big T]

I mean, you know, you all spring, all summer, and then it just. You blink and it's week 13, dogs.

[Aaron]

I feel you.

[Big T]

And this wouldn't. This was even a longer season because you had two buys. It was a week longer.

[PFT Commenter]

What do we think about Oklahoma?

[Big T]

I don't know how they keep doing it. They like they're not that good, but maybe they are. I don't know. They're a weird team. I think they're probably going to get in the playoffs.

[PFT Commenter]

I think they will too.

[Big T]

I mean, listen, you go on the road back to. Back to Tennessee and Alabama, win those games, like credit to you. That's remarkably impressive. Yeah, but they. They don't score. I don't. I don't know that I. How many teams I would pick them to beat in the playoff, but I mean, credit to them.

[PFT Commenter]

And then Georgia took care of business against Texas. Kirby Smart is a psycho.

[Big T]

Peaking at the right time, I think.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Kirby Smart, that. That onside kick. Awesome job. I love a good surprise onside kick.

[Big T]

And it's a shame that you can't do that in the NFL anymore.

[PFT Commenter]

It is. It's a dirty shame.

[Big T]

Completely changes the game.

I forget if I've said this on the show. I don't think it, I don't think I've said it on the air anywhere. But for me I was, I had a brain fart like two months ago and I was looking up, I was trying to google to find out who shot the last minute shot against Duke that did not go in in the NCAA championship game.

[Big T]

Gordon Hayward.

[PFT Commenter]

It was Gordon Hayward obviously. And I know that's Gordon Hayward for whatever reason, couldn't remember his name at that very second. So I tried looking it up online, and you know what? I Googled who shot who missed the shot. Missed shot. Butler.

[Big T]

Oh, yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

And I tell you what, you're not going to find anything about that game if you Google that. That's a hell of a.

[Aaron]

That's a hell of a Venn diagram right there.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, you're gonna find. You're gonna find a lot of stuff related to Donald Trump if you look that up, and nothing related to Gordon Hayward. Although I guess maybe Trump kind of has some similar. Anyways, there's been more stuff coming out about the assassin who we didn't really know anything about. They kept saying that his online footprint was a mystery. The FBI hasn't really released anything at all about the guy. And all we know is, like, what he did in terms of buying the gun when he got there, his movements after he was there, and then what happened after he pulled the trigger. But we're seeing some more stuff come out. Hey, credit to Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson got a lot of stuff leaked to him.

[Aaron]

He's been kind of cooking, too, lately.

[PFT Commenter]

Did some journalism be kind of cooking?

[Aaron]

I. I always thought Tucker Carlson is not dumb. No, he's a smart dude.

[PFT Commenter]

Not at all.

[Aaron]

Well, don't quote me out. Yeah, don't, don't. You can't take that quote out of context. I think he has an insane belief system, but I don't think he's an. A dumb person. I think he's a smart person with nefarious. A nefarious agenda. I think that he believes in the replacement there. He believes in a lot of kooky, but I don't think he's dumb.

[PFT Commenter]

I kind of don't think he's dumb. But also, he's also kind of evolved into being a guy that, like, talks about how people get fooled by the government all the time. Look, it cost us so many lives in these wars overseas. Tucker Carlson was the biggest cheerleader of the Iraq war that we had. He was, like, number one guy. He was, like, on Fox News every single night. He was on cnn, I think maybe even CNN at the time, just talking about how this is a war, that we should go. Like, he was the guy. If you're looking for somebody in the media that was pressing us to go to war, it was Tucker Carlson. It was the editorial board of the New York Times. It was all these people. And so now Tucker's, like, trying to play the complete opposite side of that coin. But, Tucker, you. You were that guy. You know, you were that guy. I remember you being that guy. But he has done some pretty good journalism recently. So he got a lot of information about the online footprint that allegedly belonged to this guy, Thomas Crooks, that tried to shoot Trump. And most of it, I think, was from YouTube comment sections where all great writing is done. And it painted a very strange picture of the guy. Like, for a few years, he seemed to be militant right wing to the point of like, start a civil war, arm yourself to kill the left kind of guy. And then after Covid hit, he kind of flipped against Trump at that time. And then we kind of lose the footprint after that.

[Big T]

Wait, where did you see that?

[PFT Commenter]

Tucker Carlson?

[Big T]

All I. The. The only things I've seen from it was he was remarkably obsessed with furries.

[Aaron]

Oh.

[Big T]

And that he used they. Them pronouns.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, I don't know about all that.

[Big T]

I've not seen any of what you're describing.

[PFT Commenter]

I haven't seen. Yeah, if you watch Tucker Carlson, he has like a list of his YouTube comments, and he was like hardcore right wing. And then in about 2020, he started talking more along the lines of like, destroy the government. Donald Trump is. He just went like, anti government and anti Trump. And then his footprint kind of went away after that in terms of the political comments that he was leaving.

[Aaron]

Is he in custody?

[PFT Commenter]

He's dead.

[Big T]

Died.

[Aaron]

Wait, which is the one that's in. Oh, I'm thinking of.

[Big T]

You're thinking of the Charlie Kirk guy.

[Aaron]

Yeah, yeah, he's in custody.

[Big T]

Who I think also was played like, furry video games.

[PFT Commenter]

He also. We don't want to go down that road, Big T. He also played Power Washing Simulator.

[Big T]

Okay. He played it for like an hour. No, it was not in the washing community.

[PFT Commenter]

It was at least 20 hours of game time.

[Big T]

No, no. By the way, I've already beaten Power Wash two. I. They need to come out with some. Some new maps, because I'm already out.

[PFT Commenter]

I love that they're called maps. That's awesome.

[Big T]

It was so much better than the first one. Soap was free this year. It was. It was a much better experience.

[PFT Commenter]

That's how they get you. Yeah, they get you. Yeah.

[Big T]

Your soap and your. So pay for it. In the first one, it was limited, too. And soap was different materials, had different soaps. If you only had four wood soaps and you were out, you couldn't wash any. You could. You had to only use water for the rest of the wood. It was the whole thing. But now you had unlimited free soap.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay, that's good. That's. The devs listened.

[Big T]

Yes.

[PFT Commenter]

To the community.

[Big T]

No, it's It's. They do a great job.

[PFT Commenter]

Do they have any models that are overpowered?

[Big T]

So once you get up to the. I believe it's the, the Ultra X 3000, I think it's called. That's. I mean, that's the top of the line, big boy. And you're. I mean, you're just erasing shit. It's awesome.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Are they going to nerf it?

[Big T]

No. I mean, that's. The whole goal is to get enough cash to be able to buy that.

[PFT Commenter]

But yeah, I mean, we want to be very careful with what video games. We.

[Big T]

The rest of his video games were all very. Listen, he, he stumbled into an hour of power wash.

[PFT Commenter]

It was like 27 hours.

[Big T]

No, no, no, I don't think that's true.

[PFT Commenter]

I think it is. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know what's going on in the furry community. I'm sure the furries are feeling like they're being persecuted unjustly right now. I never really understood the allure of the furry.

[Aaron]

Or is it they just like dressing up as animals.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. And wearing tails around and they also like, keep the costumes on when they're, they're banging.

[Aaron]

Yeah. I don't, I don't kick shame, man. Whatever gets you off, get you off, man. As long as it's consensual.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

And nobody gets hurt.

[PFT Commenter]

I would agree with that. So, Big T, what is the update that you're seeing about Thomas Crooks?

[Big T]

Oh, just what I told you about. He was, he was on this platform called DeviantArt, which is apparently a furry thing.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay. So I am a little bit familiar with DeviantArt just based on Internet trolling. So I remember people used to post a bunch of pictures from DeviantArt on Twitter to kind of like make fun of that community. And there's like, yeah, it's furry stuff. There were also a lot of like weirdly erotic drawings of Sonic the Hedgehog and other video game characters. So I'd see people post them being like, look what these people spend their time creating. And it was like pictures of like a jacked up swole, Mario picking them up and like taking them down a tube somewhere. Like a fantasy that they had about a video game character. Doesn't seem like something I would be into, but I guess it's. Yeah, it depends on the levels that you're into it, I guess.

[Aaron]

But where, where, where, where is this reported that he was a furry or is into furry stuff?

[Big T]

That was in. It's in the New York Post. But they aggregated it from somewhere else. It was in.

[Aaron]

Give me a primary source where they have verified this, because I'm skeptical.

[Big T]

Why are you skeptical of that?

[Aaron]

Because we were told he had no digital footprint and now he does. And so I'm. I'm naturally skeptical. Well, I. I'm not saying. I'm not saying he does.

[PFT Commenter]

It does.

[Aaron]

I'm saying. Whereas I haven't found a.

[Big T]

Well, the thing to be skeptical of was that he didn't. I mean, that was always untrue.

[Aaron]

Do we have a primary source?

[Big T]

I'm trying to find it, thanks to an enterprising source who uncovered Crook's hidden digital footprint.

[Aaron]

What does that mean, enterprising source?

[Big T]

So I guess maybe the New York Post did report this first. I'll see if there. If it's anywhere else before we finish. But the other thing was Tim Burchett, who's a congressman from Knoxville, went on Benny Johnson show and said that he thinks Thomas Crooks was part of a CIA MK Ultra mind experiment.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay.

[Big T]

He talked about it for, like, five minutes. You can go watch the clip if you want to hear everything he said. But he was. He sounded pretty adamant. Quote, they programmed this kid. You got a kid who's got access to guns or has some simple knowledge of a firearm. He was programmed. The facts have been buried or burned, or whoever knew is either sitting on a beach somewhere and enjoying a fruity drink or they're dead.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay.

[Big T]

So, yeah, I mean, I don't. I can't speak to that.

[PFT Commenter]

You know, I. Yeah, I don't know if there's evidence out there yet that he was working with anybody in the government. He does seem. From the comments that I've read, he seemed like a very mentally unwell individual, which is also the kind of person that MK Ultra has targeted in the past. But it also could just be like a mentally unwell individual who's not doing well in their personal relationships, gets really into weird shit online, which it sounds like he did, but at least we got some stuff coming out about him. So that's good. That's good. Oh, I also. Have you seen the picture of Trump and Bill Clinton?

[Big T]

I saw one short video that was. I'm curious if it's related to what you're talking about.

[PFT Commenter]

It's just Trump grabbing Bill Clinton's dick.

[Big T]

Yeah. So that's. That's part of a video, but I think that's a. He, like, pats him on the stomach, I think, and then someone made an AI. Longer version where he grabs his dick.

[Aaron]

Okay.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. I'm just seeing the picture right here. It looks like he's grabbing his dick.

[Big T]

That, that's a part of a real video, but I don't think that is the actual part of it.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay, so when he, like, pats his stomach and then his hand goes in front of his dick and then they pause.

[Big T]

Yeah. He gives him like one of these.

[PFT Commenter]

And grabbing his dick.

[Big T]

No, it wasn't like someone made a longer AI version where he just does grab his dick. But that, that was the fake part of the video.

[PFT Commenter]

Got it, Got it.

[Big T]

I'm pretty sure.

[PFT Commenter]

Could just be guys being dudes. We don't know. Also in the sheet today, the big T sent over this guy, this guy, Bill Ackman. I, I, I don't know why. This guy became like a household name a year and a half ago, two years ago, but now he's everywhere online. He just writes a bunch of, like, Twitter threads and he, he thinks too much and posts too much and reads too much online content. But he had some good advice that he put out over the weekend. He said, I hear from many young men that they find it difficult to meet young women in a public setting. In other words, the online culture has destroyed the ability to spontaneously meet strangers. As such, I thought I would share a few words that I used in my youth to meet someone that I found compelling. I would ask, may I meet you? Before engaging further in a conversation. I almost never got a no. It inevitably enabled the opportunity for further conversation. I met a lot of really interesting people this way. I think the combination of proper grammar and politeness was the key to its effectiveness. You might give it a try. And yes, I think it should also work for women seeking men as well as same sex interactions. Just 2 cents from an older, happily married guy concerned about our next generation's happiness and population replacement rates. I love that. I love how he tossed in population replacement rates at the very end. What do you guys think? May I meet you? Is that a good way to introduce yourself to a member of the opposite sex who you might be romantically interested in?

[Big T]

I saw a lot of tweets from women this weekend saying they got may I meet you? And did not appreciate it.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, really? Yeah. May I meet you? Okay, let's ask Mad Dog and McKinnon.

[Aaron]

That's the first thing they say.

[PFT Commenter]

May I meet you? A guy comes up to you. Let's say, where's a place that you would not typically appreciate being approached? Like at the gym?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, let's call it.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay, you're at the Gym. You just got off the elliptical. You're going to fill up your water bottle. A guy comes up to you, may I meet you?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I would just, like, wouldn't even know what to say because it'd be such a bizarre. Like, we're meeting right now. Why do you have to ask?

[Big T]

Yeah, I see what he's getting at. But it's such a weird string of words.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, it's. I think I would have to respond with like, oh, I think we're meeting. Like, I. Like, I don't really know. I think I would be like, huh. I think I would unfortunately be like, huh, what? Yeah. I wouldn't know what to say. I would be like, what do you mean?

[PFT Commenter]

And then he'd have to explain, like, what he meant by may I meet you?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, right.

[PFT Commenter]

Do I have your permission to meet you?

[Big T]

Bill Ackman said this would work also.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Like, well, see, that's funny. In my head, someone. And this is maybe typecasting someone who is coming up to me at the gym. One bad move. But someone who's coming up to me at the gym and then saying, may I meet you? I have in my head what I think they might look and sound like. And I think I'd be thrown off by the whole experience. Physically and verbally. I'd be like, what'd you just say to me?

[PFT Commenter]

I think what he's going for is, like, trying to be super polite. But it also comes off as even weirder.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yes.

[PFT Commenter]

It's like, because he's thinking so hard about the fact that he is being a creep. How do I make it seem like I'm not being a creep?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Less.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah. It's like the performative male. Like those tiktoks that guys make. It's like, the performative male. And it's like, you know, these. These stupid guys over here are drinking bud light and beer. I'm just having my orange natural wine. And, like, I just don't get why no one gets me. Like. And I was just reading bell hooks. Like.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

What's. Like, it's almost horseshoe theory kind of.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It goes too far the other way to come back.

[PFT Commenter]

I agree.

[Aaron]

I agree.

[PFT Commenter]

It's like, yeah, I'm a nice guy.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, nice guys always finish last.

[PFT Commenter]

The guys who are like, I'm such a nice guy. And it's always the jerks that get the girls.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's like, no, you're a freak also, like, so.

[PFT Commenter]

I like that.

[Aaron]

Coming up.

[Big T]

I'm sorry.

[Aaron]

Go ahead.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, no, you go ahead.

[Aaron]

No, please, sir. You and me.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay, I was just gonna say that. Like, the.

[Aaron]

Okay, I'll go.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay.

[Aaron]

So coming up to a female at a gym is a. No, no. But here's. Here's my thing, right? If a dude is genuinely interested, this is for the ladies, right? But a dude is genuinely interested. You and, like, say. Say you pass him in the gym. He's like, yo, this is the most beautiful woman I've ever saw. Like, I may never see her again. There's gotta be a way to say, hey, like, if I don't shoot my shot, I may miss my opportunity to ever see you again. And I. I don't want this moment to pass.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

How.

[Aaron]

How's he supposed to approach you? Like, or would you not want him to approach you if somebody genuinely thought that about you?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think it just depends. Like, I would say as long as it's, like, not in the middle of a workout or even, like, when you're taking a break in between sets or something. Like.

[Aaron]

I see. But see, let me. Let me. Let me contrast that with. Now he has to follow your workout and follow you around to make sure you finish. You know what I mean? That's creepier than.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, that's true. I mean, I don't think it would. It's never happened to me, but it wouldn't. Like, like, one time a guy, a guy that, like, worked at the gym came up to me to, like, talk about something. Hell, yeah. A membership or something. But I was, like, walking up. No, no, no guys ever come up.

[Aaron]

To me at the gym.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I will admit that. And. But he, like, worked at the gym, and I was, like, running on the treadmill. And so I had to stop and be like, what? What? So I think it's just, like. It's more annoying than it is, like, creepy. I think personally, depending on the guy because, like, you're focused on your workout. But I think there is a time to place. But, yeah, it's a. It's a slippery slope to try to figure out. See, I may be a hypocrite because I don't think that coming up to someone at, like, a Planet Fitness is necessarily. Yeah, the best time. I think I'm there to do something I'm not necessarily there to. It's not like a bar. I'm not there in a social setting. I understand I'm in a public space, but if I'm at a Planet Fitness, I'm not really there to, like, flirt is what my general consensus would be. However, I have said to people in real life, which Is making me a hypocrite. I don't understand why more straight men don't go to workout, like, group workout classes. Because there are, like, the hottest women there of all time, and men just don't seem to be going. And I think that would be a great place to meet. I understand. Now I am in between a rock and a hard place saying that.

[Big T]

To be clear, PFT is the only one that said. Jim, Bill ackman was saying you should.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Say just in general, like, whenever, as an example. Yeah, yeah. But aside from the Bill ackman. But that's also my advice. Maybe go to a group workout class. But the may I meet you thing to wrap that background, I just find to be extremely unsettling.

[PFT Commenter]

It is unsettling.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's more than anything. It's unsettling.

[PFT Commenter]

Yes.

[Big T]

Yeah. It's odd.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, it's. It's kind of freaky. It's freaky. It's like, what?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. I think. Here's what it comes down to. There are places that most women would rather not be approached. But if you're charming, you can get away with a lot more. Guys just have to be more charming. There's a lot of guys that aren't charming that try to be charming, and they do it at times when women should probably. They would prefer to not be approached, and they fail miserably. And then women get upset, and they're like, why can't I just be in public without having guys be weirdos around me? You just. If you're gonna do it, you just have to be charming.

[Big T]

But now is. May I meet you now? You have to. You're taking a risk that the girl you're talking to is chronically online. But is it now, like, a joke, and now it's funny if you do it?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think so.

[PFT Commenter]

It depends how charming you are when you say it.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, that is true. But it's also like, if that girl hasn't seen the bill.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Like, I wouldn't have known about it. That venn diagram is very small of, like, women. Like, hot women that, you know, are around, willing to be talked to. And, like, women that are following.

[Big T]

I mean, it went crazy viral.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I didn't see it. But if I did know about it.

[Aaron]

Yes.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It would be a funny way, too.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But how are you gonna know that she knows?

[Big T]

Well, that. That's what I'm saying.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But that's the risk you. You got to take, I guess. But it's hard for me to think of a way for saying, may I meet you to come out. Come out charming, no matter what kind of charisma you may have. It's just the. It's the wording. But who am I?

[Big T]

I think it's the. It's the meme of the hot guy walking by and says, looking good, Susan. And she's like, oh, you're sweet. And then it's the fat guy. She says, human resources. It's just. It's. Yeah, it's just who says it?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, that's a good point.

[Aaron]

Damn. Look better fellas out there.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Just be more charming.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Also in the news, we have AI Grandma.

[Aaron]

Oh, wow.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I forgot she's talking about AI Grandma.

[Big T]

This is genuinely, like, someone should go to jail for this.

[PFT Commenter]

I agree.

[Big T]

Like, and by the way, did you know the guy who tweeted that? I assume he's the creator of the app. He was like a D list Disney Channel guy.

[PFT Commenter]

Callum.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

I did not know that he was on.

[Big T]

He was an extra in some show and then he was on one later called Austin and Ally, which was after my time, but, oh, yeah, I know that show. So one of the guys from that show has created this insane app. Where is he?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

The redhead?

[Big T]

Yeah, where. Where you take a three minute video of someone who I guess you are guessing is going to die soon, and you just film them talking and moving around, and then it creates an AI version of this person for you to talk to after they're dead, which is a literal episode of Black Mirror Psycho shit that this guy, I guess, did not watch because it turns out horrifically. And it's like, why? That's just so terrible. It's. And it's disrespectful, I think, very. To like your grandma that. Hey, like, I know we've had great times, but I just want to turn you into like a little AI Chatbot that I'm going to talk to for the next 20 years.

[PFT Commenter]

And in this. In this commercial for the app, the woman introduces her grandmother to her son, and then her son grows up using the chatbot so that the son then knows the great grandma, and then is asking great grandma, who he's never met in his life, for advice, filling her in on all the goings on in his life. Hey, I'm about to have a kid now. Great grandma. And then getting her reaction to that. Who wants this?

[Big T]

I would be so, like, unsettled. Yeah, like, I. I could. I could never do that.

[Aaron]

No, that's. That's it. This is insane. That's jail. Or just hands. Put hands on whoever Made this.

[Big T]

It's the. It's the Disney Channel guy. Callum Worthy, I think is his name.

[Aaron]

Yep, Callum Worthy. Hey, on site. Whoop his ass on site.

[PFT Commenter]

So it was the. The first episode of season two of Black Mirror. Be right back.

[Big T]

Yeah. Have you seen it?

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Does not end well. I think at some point, every single product that was invented during Black Mirror will be invented for real.

[Big T]

There's a couple. And by the way, the guy in that episode of Black Mirror who's the AI boyfriend looks like this guy who made the app.

[PFT Commenter]

It's so weird. This is also strange, but, yes, this should. It should be against the law.

[Aaron]

Don't hate it.

[PFT Commenter]

But that.

[Big T]

Actually. That I would. I would be in favor of a law banning that.

[PFT Commenter]

Banning, very specifically, this AI people.

[Big T]

A recreation of a deceased person in AI. You have to make it very narrow, very specific to this app, so it can't be perverted for any other situations. But I want this band.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. There's been. There's been so many different Black Mirror episodes that have come true in real life. The one with the. The lady that has, like, a degenerative brain disease and then they keep her alive. Is that the same one? They keep her alive, but the guy has to pay a monthly fee.

[Big T]

No, that's different.

[PFT Commenter]

To have her like AI, but that's.

[Big T]

Kind of this too.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, it is, because.

[Big T]

So you Pay. You pay $20 or.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, and then.

[Big T]

Yeah, and then, like, well, price goes.

[PFT Commenter]

Up and then she starts. She starts reading ads to you and he's like, why is she reading ads to me all the time? Well, you need to pay for the premium tier, and then he has to pay, like, 500amonth more, but. And then it's all geofenced, so he can't take her outside of, like, a certain location without paying to expand it.

[Aaron]

Hilarious, man.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Nobody wants it. Nobody wants it.

[Aaron]

Vine is. Is coming back and they're banning AI, and I absolutely love that shit.

[PFT Commenter]

I like it.

[Big T]

Is anybody gonna use vine, though?

[Aaron]

I'm not, but I like the idea.

[Big T]

I do too, because, like, I loved the creativity of vine that you had six seconds to be funny, but, like, now Tick Tock is so huge. Nobody's gonna use it, I don't think.

[Aaron]

Yeah, my bandwidth for apps is. I'm done. I'm not getting any more apps. My brain is packed out. It is what it is. But I love the idea of banning AI. Like, more people need to get on that. We need to do that with all social media apps. There's no utility for It. There's none. What's the last time you see a funny AI meme? You know what I'm saying?

[Big T]

I did. Okay. I'm gonna send y' all this because I. I laughed. This was funny. It's the only one I've ever seen that made me actually laugh. I'm gonna send it to you all. Hang on. I'm putting my reputation on the line that this AI video is very funny.

[Aaron]

Okay.

[Big T]

Hey, hey, stop that. It's midnight.

[PFT Commenter]

Give me that. No, sir.

[Big T]

No more fiddle tonight.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Got it.

[PFT Commenter]

Inside with this thing.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Go home.

[Big T]

Hey, what did I say about the noise? It's the middle of the night. No more synth on the porch.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yep, you're done.

[Big T]

I'm taking it inside. Go back to your bed. Yeah, yeah. There it is. I was very. I was nervous.

[Aaron]

I'm not mad at this comedy.

[Big T]

It gets better, too. It just keeps going. Quit it. It's midnight.

[PFT Commenter]

Give me those sticks.

[Big T]

No more concerts tonight.

[PFT Commenter]

You hear me Inside with these. Go home.

[Big T]

I love it so much.

[PFT Commenter]

Go home.

[Big T]

Hey, hey, knock it off.

[PFT Commenter]

It's midnight.

[Aaron]

Give me that thing pissed.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

No more didgeridoo tonight.

[Aaron]

You hear me Inside with it. Go home.

[Big T]

All right.

[Aaron]

Yeah, it's funny.

[Big T]

Thank you. I. I put my reputation on the line. That was big.

[Aaron]

Yeah. But that, though.

[Big T]

I agree, for the most part.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big T]

That.

[PFT Commenter]

That was a. Yeah. Funny cat video.

[Aaron]

I agree.

[PFT Commenter]

I agree. Also on today's sheet, we got TUA wants to play a game overseas in Jerusalem.

[Big T]

So I was certain because I saw this news on the. You know, when Twitter has little recaps of things and it'll say. And they're often very wrong. I was certain that this was an AI thing that had picked up. Somebody tweeted, like, two is, you know, going to have to play in Israel or something. And the AI picked it up wrong and made a fake story about, like, two who wants to play in Jerusalem. And then I watched the video.

[PFT Commenter]

So this was. This was at the game in Madrid.

[Big T]

Which, by the way, condolences.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, I don't care. It was a great loss for us.

[Big T]

Okay.

[PFT Commenter]

I think at this point, we have one of the worst teams in the NFL. So ultimately, if we lose games like this, it's going to be good.

[Big T]

Sure.

[PFT Commenter]

For the future of the franchise. And I don't think Jaden's going to come back. And I think just write the season off, pick up the pieces, move forward. The stadium was awesome in Madrid. Did you see any of the time lapse videos of. Of how they do, like, the real Madrid Stadium with that shit is fire.

[Big T]

Yeah, it's a new. They just finished it a year or two ago.

[PFT Commenter]

The grass that grows in, like a.

[Big T]

Basement greenhouse there, another one has that, I think Tottenham.

[PFT Commenter]

It's amazing. Yeah, it's incredible. That is. That's what every NFL stadium should be like.

[Big T]

Agreed.

[PFT Commenter]

And it seemed like a fun game to go to. And then after the game, they asked to. About the experience playing overseas, and he was like, yeah, I'd like to play in Jerusalem one day. Which, yeah, sure. I'm sure we. I'm sure he will. I'm sure the NFL has not done. What do you think the next country is to get an NFL game?

[Big T]

I mean, they're just going to keep going.

[PFT Commenter]

This was the first one in Spain, right?

[Big T]

Was it?

[PFT Commenter]

I think so. We've done Ireland, we've done England, we've done Germany, we've done Mexico. I believe there was one in Japan. It might have just been a preseason game. I'm not. We'll have to check that.

[Aaron]

I will be going to that if. I don't care who's playing. I love Japan.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Japan feels like it might be. We might go back there. Have we done one in Canada?

[Big T]

I'm not sure. I don't recall.

[PFT Commenter]

Seems weird that we haven't been to Canada yet. Yeah, but outside of Canada, like, what European country or Asian country do you think is next up?

[Big T]

I mean, if they did Spain, you could do Portugal.

[PFT Commenter]

France. Yeah, I could see France. I could see Italy.

[Big T]

Maybe like one of the soccer stadiums in Netherlands somewhere up there.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, Amsterdam. Yeah, that'd be fun. I might go to that one.

[Big T]

I just like, who's asking for this?

[PFT Commenter]

You know, the owners want more money. They want to expand overseas.

[Aaron]

Expand the brand, baby.

[PFT Commenter]

Yep. I mean, Madrid seemed like a cool place. I actually didn't mind waking up early on Sunday morning. I get to get the game out of the way and then I get to watch real football afterwards. But it did seem like neither team wanted to win. It was like both teams that would get inside the 20 and be like, yeah, we should. We actually don't want to score here. But ultimately, that was a. That was a good loss for the future of the commanders. Who we looking at in the draft? Yeah, I. I just decided I was going to move into draft scouting season.

[Big T]

What position are you looking at?

[PFT Commenter]

Position of need. Neat, buddy. We have a lot of. I would say linebacker, defensive end.

[Big T]

All right, so the end. I mean, you're. What pick are you targeting?

[PFT Commenter]

Good possibility. We pick somewhere between five and Eight.

[Big T]

So you're probably out of Reuben Bain. Yeah. Territory, maybe David Bailey.

[PFT Commenter]

Reuben Bain would be awesome. I don't think that he's probably going to go in like the top three.

[Big T]

I think he should be in Heisman talk.

[PFT Commenter]

I agree.

[Big T]

I think he's probably the best player in the country.

[PFT Commenter]

I agree. Big T. Good point.

[Aaron]

Who's this one? Who's this?

[Big T]

Ruben Bane. He's a defensive end at Miami.

[PFT Commenter]

I may or may not have a future on him at like 600 to 1.

[Big T]

Do you really?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big T]

David Bailey could be there in that range. I like him a lot. Very good player.

[PFT Commenter]

What about linebackers?

[Big T]

Who are the best? I think. I think he is technically a linebacker.

[PFT Commenter]

I mean like middle linebacker.

[Aaron]

It is. What isn't it to do from Texas A?

[Big T]

Oh, Jacob Rodriguez. Is he draft eligible?

[PFT Commenter]

I don't know. See, this is why I got. I got to get into it.

[Aaron]

I gotta.

[PFT Commenter]

I asked Blutman if he was ready to start scouting.

[Big T]

He's not ready. Oh yeah. He's 23.

[PFT Commenter]

What about. Where do we project Caleb Downs going? Is he going to be top 5?

[Big T]

Top 10? Ish.

[PFT Commenter]

So we also do need a safety. Caleb Downs is the closest thing I've seen to Sean Taylor.

[Big T]

I think you can't go wrong taking Caleb Downs.

[PFT Commenter]

The only issue with taking Caleb Downs that high is like, is safety really a game changing position in the NFL?

[Big T]

Well, you said NFL. I can tell you it is far more noticeably when you don't have any good ones. Which is where the University of Tennessee finds itself currently.

[PFT Commenter]

Right.

[Big T]

So it's kind of an. It's the offensive lineman of defense, which is. You don't notice it until you don't have them.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. It seems like a luxury pick to add an elite safety. Whereas if you have a. An average safety, there's other positions that are more important to build around. But like Sean Taylor did change that defense. There have been some. Like Derwin James is one of the best defensive players in the NFL. If you have a truly elite safety, it's also a very fun position to just watch. To watch how they operate. I remember when the commanders had Sean Taylor and then we also spent another top 10 pick on Lauren Landry. So we had two safeties. Didn't really work out that well.

[Big T]

This mock has the Washington commander selecting Carnell Tate, number seven overall.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay. I mean we do kind of need a receiver, but also. Yeah, we do need a receiver for the future.

[Big T]

And I forgot Arvell Reese, also another elite linebacker. Edge guy.

[Aaron]

Okay.

[PFT Commenter]

I'm just thinking about the big, big areas of need that we have. And our defense is just utter complete dog right now. So we'll see. I'm gonna have to become a mock draft guy and see where we're at. Anything else in the news we want to get to? Mad Dog McKenzie. Anything burning you guys up from this weekend?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I've gotten. Do you guys remember that thing maybe a couple months ago where everyone became super sympathetic towards the fish with the light at it?

[Big T]

Yes.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, there's a new one. There's actually two new ones.

[Aaron]

Okay.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

The tripod fish. Have you seen these videos on Tik Tok? So there's this song that's going viral on Tik Tok, and I believe it's a World War I song. And it's like, soldier boy. Oh, my little soldier boy. And people are making sad videos to it. And it's these fish that live at the bottom of the ocean and basically. Oh, hi, hi. Sorry, Arian's daughter's on screen. They're these fish that live at the bottom of the ocean and when they're born, their body betrays them and they start up higher in the ocean and then their fins grow long. Tripod stands. Basically.

[PFT Commenter]

I'm looking at it right now.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

And then they sink to the bottom of the ocean, their eyes burn off and they become blind and they sink to the bottom of the ocean and stick there with their little three legs kind of. And they can't move because their tripod legs have become so heavy. So they're stationary fish and the only time they move is to sometimes go feed. And they sit, sit at the bottom of the ocean just sitting there for like five to 10 years is their lifespan. And I keep getting edits about these tripod fish and it's like devastating about like, I. I feel like their life is so sad because they just sit there. And it's literally crazy because you don't really see fish not moving too often also. And it's literally them plat at the bottom of the ocean and they're in the dark and they can't see because they've gone blind because their eyes have burned off. And they just sit there at the bottom of the ocean. And they're not born with this tripod.

[PFT Commenter]

They're freaky looking fish. I've never seen this fish before.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Neither had I. And they're not born with those stands, they grow them. So imagine growing like three more legs all of a sudden.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

And sinking or, you know, becoming heavier and heavier with that. So that was. That's kind of taken over. And then the sunfish is the kind of the rival. They're like, oh, everyone's talking about the tripod fish. You need to be talking about the sunfish. And the sunfish is that, like, sideways fish that doesn't really know how to navigate. And people just. Or not people fish. Other fish can just eat it. And it's too. Its brain is too small to know what to do to attack, like, to defend itself. So it just gets, like, chomped until inevitably it dies. But the tripod fish is my new thing that I became sympathetic towards this weekend.

[PFT Commenter]

Very sad. Very sad life.

[Aaron]

Want to hear a fun fact that reminded me?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

So my YouTube feed popped up. The jubilee junk about that dude who is obsessed with not dying. I forget his name, but, like, is it Brian Johnson?

[Big T]

Brian, yes.

[Aaron]

Could be. Yeah. So he spends like, $2 million a year just trying to keep himself alive, and it's not working. He looks.

[Big T]

He looks old.

[Aaron]

But anyway. But he made a point that I was like, damn, that's actually crazy. And I didn't know until I looked it up. He said biologically, like, he's obsessed with, like, he thinks that should be humanity's number one goal, is to solve mortality. Like, he thinks that we should be able to live forever, and that should be our goal. And he said, well, biologically, it's happened already. He said there's a. A type of jellyfish, and it's called turret turip. Turretos turidopsis, turidopsis, Turidopsis dorni. So it's a jellyfish that when injured, stress, starving, or aging, it could reverse its life cycle back to its early pylop stage, basically turning itself into a baby again. And then from there, it grows back into an adult, and it could just do this forever. And it's a process called trans differentiation. And so, like, biologically, yeah, it's. It's. It's immortal. It. But most of them die from, like, predator predators or, you know, sometimes disease where they just don't get a chance to go back. But they could regenerate their cells. They can. They can live forever.

[PFT Commenter]

I didn't.

[Aaron]

I didn't notice. This is actually fascinating to me.

[PFT Commenter]

That is crazy.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

I think it's. It's a little bit different from what he's trying to do to himself.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Also, humans aren't jellyfish, so, like, there's. There's probably reason why jellyfish do that, but.

[Aaron]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's. But he was just saying, like, the. He's like, biologically speaking, it's possible from you know, a biological standpoint. Standpoint like cell. We could figure out he's. He's his. He's arguing. We could figure out a way for ourselves to regenerate themselves. And I don't know enough about biology to say yes or no, but I thought it fascinating that there is a species that does this naturally.

[Big T]

Did you see he did mushrooms for the first time recently and like documented the whole thing. And it. I. I believe I saw it made him like hate everything.

[PFT Commenter]

That's a weird reaction.

[Big T]

I'm trying to find the exact tweet.

[Aaron]

What's his name?

[Big T]

Bryan Johnson. B R Y A N Johnson. And a week or two ago he did mushrooms for the first time. And he had a woman there with him like documenting the whole thing. And I thought I saw a tweet that was like Brian said, I'll just have to find it. But.

[Aaron]

Her name. Johnson. Yeah. Anti aging experiment. Did he like swap blood with his son or some too.

[Big T]

He tracks their boners.

[Aaron]

Weirdo.

[PFT Commenter]

I think some of the. Some of the stuff he does has to be just for. For notoriety. Right?

[Aaron]

No, I think he's really about this life. He spends like $2 million a year on this.

[PFT Commenter]

But you don't think that when he like publicly posts about tracking his son's boners, he's. He, he doesn't know the reaction that's going to get.

[Aaron]

I think he thinks. And this is my. You could be correct. But from my assertion of him, I think he. He thinks he's like a revolutionary in. In changing how human beings are tracking health and discovering new frontiers about how to slow down the aging process.

[PFT Commenter]

I think they're just terrified of dying.

[Aaron]

Yeah, sure. And he definitely looks in his 40s and he's 40s something.

[PFT Commenter]

I think a lot of these guys are just like struggling with the emptiness.

[Noel]

Of.

[PFT Commenter]

Understanding that you're not going to live forever.

[Noel]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Religion replaces a lot of what these guys are looking for.

[Aaron]

That is a strong point that was said to him. Or he says. I mean he, he says that religion was made to cope. Help cope.

[Big T]

Right.

[Aaron]

Help the human mind cope. That it's is gonna pass.

[PFT Commenter]

But that's exactly what he's doing. He's trying to cope with the fact that he's going to pass by. By not coping with it, by fighting against it, by. He's in denial of the fact that he will die. In deny also, if you just work on your health and your body's health, let's say hypothetically he's correct that he will not develop any degenerative diseases over the course of his life. At some point he's going to get into an accident. If you live for 700 years, something's going to happen. Physically, something's going to happen to you and you'll get hit by something else and die anyways.

[Aaron]

I don't think you'd be bored after a while. Like I've seen everything.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. And all your friends start dying, you don't know anybody.

[Aaron]

Yeah. Just a forever stranger, can't get close to anybody.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

Yes. That'd be a wild existence.

[PFT Commenter]

All right, anything else we want to get into today?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I have some voice.

[PFT Commenter]

Let's do some voicemails.

[Aaron]

Oh, update on my dog search.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay. Yeah.

[Aaron]

Another dog has entered the pool. I am around 80% now. Finna get this little. I'm going to kidnap one of these Rhodesian Ridgeback.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

Yeah. That has, that has entered the conversation. So right now I'm in between two. A fox red lab or a road or a Rhodesian Ridgeback. Okay, those are my two. That, that is settled. It's. It's one of those two Rhodesian Ridgebacks are great.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Was that the one that like need a lot of exercise?

[Aaron]

That does need exercise attention and like a goal. Because it's like a hunting dog.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Okay.

[Aaron]

So, yeah, so I'll probably just, you know, let them chase squirrels or some. I don't know, we'll figure it out.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, those are, they're great dogs. Great dogs. They got that cool little mohawk on their back too.

[Aaron]

Yeah, yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

All right. Yeah, keep me posted.

[Aaron]

Yeah, I will do that.

[Big T]

When cool creamy ranch meets tangy bold buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy, partner. To new buffalo ranch sauce only at McDonald's for a limited time at participating McDonald's.

[Noel]

What's up, macrodosing crew? This is Noel from Colorado. Love your pft. Love everyone on the pod. Now I have a question for you guys. Need some help? So my job requires me to go in pretty early in the mornings talking like 3, 4am Now I have a upstairs neighbor pretty sure gets to business, you know what I mean? At around 9pm I go to bed around 8 o', clock, 8:30. Now I've woken up to noises, you know, him doing business. And it's, it's bothering me lately. We're to the point where I've even tried to listen to white noise. I slept on the couple or I slept on the couch a couple times. That's an ongoing issue. Now the question for you guys is now Do I address it? Do I bring it up to him? Do I go up face to face? It's been going on for about two weeks now. I will say it's not as bad during the weekdays, but I work Tuesday to Saturday. So sometimes, you know, he's doing the business between Friday and Friday night, sometimes Saturday night. But again, do I address it to him? What do I do? Love to hear back again. Love the pod. Thanks. Take care. Bye.

[PFT Commenter]

This is a great question. Great question. I have a suggestion. If it's actually impacting your sleep, impacting your life, this seems like something that a. A well humored note slid under the door could help you write. Like, hey, sounds like you've been having a lot of fun. Congratulations. Happy for you guys. One small request. I live downstairs and I can hear you guys. Would you mind trying to keep it a little bit more quiet? Thank you. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

[Big T]

What happens if that doesn't work?

[PFT Commenter]

Then you got to have a face to face. But I feel like the upstairs neighbor probably doesn't know that when they're fucking, their downstairs neighbor can hear everything.

[Big T]

I would assume not. First step is just beat on the ceiling, right?

[Aaron]

No, big T. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

I think that that start. That gets it going.

[Aaron]

Your first instinct. No. Yeah, because that is an aggressive act.

[Big T]

What they're doing is aggressive.

[Aaron]

They are just living their lives. They're not doing anything to harm you. That's what, that's why everybody.

[Big T]

Well, they might not be intentionally, but it is harming you.

[Aaron]

Yeah, but when you, when you bang on a door, that is aggressive.

[Big T]

You say, I see how it could be perceived that way, but it's just, it's a hey.

[Aaron]

No, it's not a hey. It's a Karen move.

[PFT Commenter]

I think if you do that, it's got to be in the moment the first time it happens. But since it's been going on the walls. Yeah, I, I think a note, I think a note fixes this because they.

[Aaron]

Because they don't know. Think about it. If, if you. And maybe just ask you what is your first reaction if somebody bangs on your wall because they felt I would.

[Big T]

Be like, oh, am I like making a ton of noise?

[Aaron]

Oh, well, see, my first reaction is the. You I'm with the confines of my own while I'm doing my own thing. If it bothers you, it bothers you. That's. This is the. And this is why.

[Big T]

But if you're in an apartment, there is a level of. There's a different standard that you have to be.

[Aaron]

Don't don't disagree. But the issue is how you bring it about somebody else.

[Noel]

Right.

[Aaron]

If you bang on the wall, that is aggressive to me and it's going to make me want to do whatever I'm doing more. Like, I hate that shit. That's. I don't, I don't agree with that. That's it. Because, because it's also a little cowardly if you.

[Big T]

I would actually, honestly, if I was the one that somebody was upset with, I would rather have that than like somebody come to my door and like either leave a note or like confront me. Like just bang on the wall. And then I'd be like, okay, I'll try to, I'll try to be quieter.

[Aaron]

That's insane. That's wild. I think confrontation, though, I think that's what it is.

[Big T]

I think, yeah, part of it.

[PFT Commenter]

If there's a banging on the wall, it also like establishes. That's my enemy now.

[Aaron]

Yeah, right.

[PFT Commenter]

Like, it creates, it creates like a barrier between you. The way that this guy just called and let, let this voicemail. Like that's, that's a good tone that he has. He's sick of being woken up, but he's like, yeah, they're, they're like, okay, good for them.

[Big T]

He is mad at them. He's going about it nicely. I think he is mad.

[PFT Commenter]

I think he's upset that he's not able to sleep. I don't think he's mad.

[Aaron]

I think he's concerned. Yeah, he's concerned about his well being, but he's not mad at them. He's literally said, he's like, I mean, good for them.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, that is what, that's why I think that if you write a note that is like kind of funny and also kind of like, hey, good for you guys. I think the person would read that and be like, oh, I didn't know that they could hear us. Let's be a little bit quieter. So something similar happened to me. Not to brag, but when I lived in New York, lived in an apartment and I got a knock at my door one day. I opened it up and there's this lady that was standing there looking like a little bit disheveled and she was very nervous, didn't really want to look at me and she was like, hey, I just, I've noticed that I don't know if you like work late and get home at 2am every night, but you, you're very loud during the night and I'd appreciate it if you could quiet it down. And I was so confused. I was so confused about this because I wasn't working late at the time. I was getting home at, like, midnight at the latest from work, and I was not making any noise in my apartment. She was like, yeah, between the hours of, like, two and four, it's very loud. And I was like, well, I'm not even. I'm not awake between the hours of 2 and 4. I'm never awake between the hours of 2 and 4. What's going on? And then she left, and then she came back again, like, a week later, and she was like, you're still being very loud at night. And I. I couldn't tell what she was getting at. I was just explaining to her, like, I don't know what you mean. Like, I. I'm not walking around my apartment. I'm not making any noises. What does it sound like? She's like. It's a lot of, like, banging on the floor. I was like, this lady's crazy. What's going on? But she was. In retrospect, she was trying to tell me that she was waking up to the sex noises. And then the very next night, I'm asleep, and I wake up because Leroy slept on the floor next to the bed. And he would get these dreams in the middle of the night where he would be running and his feet were just kicking constantly against the bed stand and against the door against the bed. And it was making a sound like someone was having very aggressive sex in that bed. And then I was like, oh, she. She keeps getting woken up by Leroy's feet, and she thinks that I'm. But she didn't want to tell me that she was waking up because I was. She. She was trying to be polite the way that she was saying it to me. And then I just put down, like, a. A pillow or a blanket on the side of the bed so that if Leroy dreamed in the middle of the night, he would just kick the blanket and not make any noise. So problem solved. But, yeah, she. She definitely thought it was Shout out Leroy. Shout out Leroy. Yeah, I. I think that this is a. A situation where if you slide a note under the door, make it clear like, hey, you're not being a pissed off neighbor. It's just, you guys are loud. You probably don't realize that you're having sex loud. I've been having trouble sleeping because of it. Could you be a little bit quieter? I think that should resolve it. If it doesn't, then you might have to do the knock on the door. Will you please keep it Down. That's my advice.

[Aaron]

Yeah. I do not recommend banging on the wall. That seems aggressive to me. But then, yeah, I would. I just. How I would prefer somebody to tell me is to knock on my door because I'm not. Like I said, I always meet people with the energy they give me. So if you like, hey, just like his demeanor, I'm like, oh, yeah, no doubt. Dog out. You know what I'm saying? I'll slay in the day, you know.

[PFT Commenter]

All right, good question, though.

[Aaron]

Yeah, yeah, let's.

[PFT Commenter]

Let's do the next one.

[Aaron]

Shout out to that couple, though.

[Big T]

Getting it in.

[Aaron]

Yeah. Pretty consistent if it's a, you know, and crew.

[Noel]

This is Chris from Pennsylvania. I've got a question for you guys. What current NFL player do you think will be like the next great head coach in 10 to 15 years? You know, I don't think anybody thought about 10 years ago, Mike Brable, Dan Campbell, or Jamiko Ryan Aaron, you probably did. But what's coach, what's current player now.

[Aaron]

Do you think will be the guy.

[Noel]

In about 10 to 15 years?

[PFT Commenter]

All right, Love you guys.

[Noel]

Stay handsome. Stay gorgeous.

[PFT Commenter]

It's a good question. Aaron, did you know that Tamika was going to be a head coach?

[Aaron]

I don't know about a head coach, but I knew he was probably going to be a coach. There's certain guys that are like.

[Big T]

You.

[Aaron]

Could just tell they have that kind.

[PFT Commenter]

Of like.

[Aaron]

They'Re a little bit more serious.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

You know what I'm saying? Like, I was never that, like, I was always, I'm gonna be joking and like that. But there's certain guys, we call him cap or captain. He was always like, that was his demeanor. And so, like, I probably thought he was gonna coach. I didn't know how, you know, success. There's nobody that gauge that. But like, you could tell he was probably gonna go into the field. But yeah, there's. There's guys who carry that certain demeanor that we call it that, like upstairs demeanor. And upstairs just means like either coaches or GM or ownership. Like, they just have a certain, like you kind of like one of them, but not in a bad way, but just like, you know, saying that's how you cat. You know, it is what it is.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

I never had that. I was the opposite.

[PFT Commenter]

I've got a couple names that come to mind right now.

[Big T]

I was just thinking it's interesting that the current ones are very diverse by position.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Like, I guess linebacker makes a lot of sense, but then you would also think quarterback, and there really aren't many quarterbacks that have ever gone.

[PFT Commenter]

I think that the. To be good coaches, the great quarterbacks don't necessarily get into coaching. The good ones sometimes do.

[Big T]

Like, I mean, you don't need money.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. The first guy that sprang to mind was a linebacker. He is a linebacker. Bobby Wagner on the Commanders. Bobby Wagner is going to be a head coach. He's either going to be a head coach or he might be like, a gm. He might be commissioner of the NFL at some point.

[Aaron]

Yeah. But he's an impressive dude.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, impressive dude. He knows a lot about the game. Physically, he's not anything like what he used to be, but he's still able to play. He's able to start in the NFL just because he's so smart and he understands everything. I think Bobby Wagner is definitely going to be somewhere in that line. Besides him, I feel like. I don't know. Cooper cup gives me that vibe, too. There's probably some offensive linemen that I'm not thinking about right now.

[Aaron]

Yeah, I don't. I don't know enough about, like, outside personalities. That's hard to judge.

[PFT Commenter]

Might be some, like, interior guys that we don't really talk or hear about that much.

[Big T]

Has a receiver ever been a great head coach?

[PFT Commenter]

Dabo.

[Big T]

NFL, like a good.

[Aaron]

Been a head coach.

[PFT Commenter]

McVeigh. Right.

[Big T]

Well, he. A guy who played receiver in the NFL.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Well, although Sean McVeigh did, do you know who he beat out for 2003? Georgia High School player of the Year?

[PFT Commenter]

Calvin Johnson.

[Big T]

Correct.

[PFT Commenter]

Pretty crazy, right?

[Big T]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Was he a. Was he a receiver in high school or was he.

[Big T]

I believe so.

[Aaron]

Has there. Has there been an NFL receiver that has. That has been a head coach?

[Big T]

I can't really think of one.

[PFT Commenter]

Hmm. He's going to chat. Yeah.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

See what they say.

[Big T]

There's been o. Linemen, linebackers, db. Has there been a running back?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, there's got to have been some running backs.

[Aaron]

There's a. I think O.C.

[Big T]

Right.

[Aaron]

Eric B. Enemy is the closest, I think. Yeah, Yeah. I can't think.

[Big T]

I don't think. Oh, by the way, Kellen Moore is a head coach.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, that's right.

[Big T]

We're talking about quarterbacks.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, he is. I could see, like, Chase Daniel.

[Big T]

Yeah, He's. He does a lot of, like, film stuff on YouTube, right?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Like a guy that. That's breaking stuff down.

[Big T]

I think backup quarterback is a good spot for. For a coach to come from.

[PFT Commenter]

I would agree. You kind of have to have that mentality.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

You have to, like, over prepare for everything. If you're a backup quarterback, you usually don't have like the top of the lines, physical tools. So you have to make up for that with the mental side.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Who's that? Who's that one who Arian played with? Who's the quarterback coach now?

[Big T]

T.J. yates. Yates from Marietta, Georgia.

[Aaron]

There's a guy named Ray Perkins. He's old school. He coached. He's. I think he was a. Yeah, he was a receiver for. Who'd he play for? Baltimore in the 60s and early 70s and he went on to be a.

[Big T]

Head coach and that doesn't count. What's your year? Where sports.

[Aaron]

Ed McCaffrey, but he coached in the college level.

[Big T]

What's your year for NFL where it starts counting. 70s.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

70S, I think I agree, but even then I, I have an exception to that. Jim Brown.

[Big T]

That's fair.

[PFT Commenter]

He could play any era.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

NBA. I think it's later.

[Aaron]

Yeah, I think it's. I mean, no, I, I could.

[Big T]

And baseball. I think it's earlier.

[Aaron]

I think it's 70s because there's a lot of guys. I think so. I don't, I don't judge necessarily, like, like, you know, talent for talent. One to one. I do do it relatively, because, I mean, you can't. That, that would just be pointless. But like, when you look at guys who like, transcended the, the game and changed the game, that's what I look for when you talk about like, 70s and stuff like that. So, like Pete Maravich, like that. Yeah, he had some of the. I'll put him in the category as having some, some of the best handles of all time, but it's relative to what the handles were in the world. So like, I remember one time Michael Jordan, and it's funny to listen to watch now, but like, so he like, had the ball. He was going for the ball and he put it around his back. Yeah, kept going. And the announcer was like, what was that? Did you see that? He put the ball around his back. But it's like at the time that has never. It hasn't happened. And so like nowadays it's, it's, you know, kids are doing that, but that's, that's how you change the game. You change the game. And so you look for cats that. It's like, Steph, he changed the game. Like, he changed how it's played. So that's how I think. That's why I look at 70s a little different in basketball. There were cats who changed the game.

[Big T]

That's fair.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

I could see a Guy like Clays Campbell being a coach.

[Aaron]

Ah, yeah, yeah, That's a good one. That's a good one.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. He's been around for forever. He's played on all these different teams. Clearly loves football.

[Aaron]

Not to toot my own horn. We are in the championship. We're in the Super Bowl. My little league team.

[PFT Commenter]

Congrats.

[Aaron]

Yes, congrats.

[PFT Commenter]

We are.

[Aaron]

I'm hyped. So I was telling you a little bit before, but. So the team that we beat, I think is the. Was the better team that we're going to play. So we're playing a team that hasn't lost in three years in the super bowl. But I think the team we just beat is a better team. Right?

[Big T]

Just you think putting bulletin board material out there smart.

[Aaron]

I don't care. I feel like it's a little league.

[Big T]

That'd be a shame.

[Aaron]

That's what I feel. That's what I feel. I think, I think they have better talent on the other team. I think they line was a little bit better. I think schematically they were a little better. And we, and we. And we walked away with the victory. Now this team that we're going to play in the super bowl, we lost to them in the regular season by one point. And I take full responsibility for this loss because we had them down six zero. We were driving, we're on their four yard line and one of the coaches was like, hey, let's get a ball to Big Trey. Big Trey is one of our linemen, good lineman. And I was like, fuck it, let's do it. And he fumbled and so I didn't put my kids in the position to win. I should have just. And we were running the ball down. They throw, so we should have just continued to pile on. And I felt like that was my fault. But it's going to be a great game. I'm excited. I got all the homies coming out. Fam. Going to be in the stands. It's going to be exciting, man. And it's been a fun, like looking back at the game we played them and then looking at the last game we played, like the way I coached has entirely changed. Like I'm way more adaptable. You know, a lot of the stuff I've learned from football over the years, you just forget. And so as the season goes on, I start to remember a lot more because it's like, you know, it's like riding a bike. And so it's been, it's been fun evolving from that standpoint. So not to make this about me, but it is.

[PFT Commenter]

That's very cool.

[Aaron]

It's dope. It's been a dope journey, man. It's been a dope journey.

[PFT Commenter]

Very cool. Have you thought about the Gatorade shower afterwards? Are they gonna dump Gatorade on it?

[Aaron]

I don't. They. They dumped the head coach and then one of the other assistant coaches while we was like, I was. I was talking to the refs about something because it's bullshit. The ref told me we had a timeout. So I call a time. I'm like, I can't keep track of all that. I got a million things going on. I should have probably. Right. And so I called a time out, but we didn't have any timeouts left. And so I'm on the field, like, arguing with the refs and stuff. And then they decided to hit the coaches with the jump. But, nah, we don't have Gatorade. We have water.

[Big T]

I know you are coaching youth football, and I like to think that we're friends, and I like you, so I'm not going to get mad at you for saying this. However, if a coach of a team that I was a fan of ever said I didn't know if we had a timeout, I don't have time to keep track of all that shit. The things I would say would burn cities.

[PFT Commenter]

Yep.

[Aaron]

Hey, those are facts, though.

[PFT Commenter]

You got to be aware.

[Big T]

But you're the. You're the. You're not the head coach, so it doesn't.

[Aaron]

I'm not the head. I am the offensive coordinator. And so, like, I don't like when. When they're out on defense. I'm. Yeah, I'm watching for the most part, but, like, I'm involved in other stuff. I'm trying to get things organized, whatever the case may be. I don't know if we took timeouts and stuff like that. And they're not on the scoreboard. They don't. They don't keep on the scoreboard. So you would have to keep an individual tally.

[Big T]

That is. That's a fair point. Point also.

[Aaron]

And not only that, the refs are supposed to. Now when the ref tells me. Because. Because a lot of time, I'll just check with them. I'll say, hey, how many timeouts do we have? Because there's nowhere to check. Right. And so they keep it. And so he told me I had one, and so we. And so I took one, and. And they called the later game. And I'm like, but you told me I had. He's like, I know that's my fault. I'm like, that can't.

[Big T]

Okay, well then yeah, that's different.

[Aaron]

Yeah. So it was.

[Big T]

That's not.

[Aaron]

I'm not aloof. I know, I know. The game is just. I think it was a mistake on his part, but they should have redacted the penalty there. But it is what it is. By that time we was up 8 or no. 11. So they wasn't gonna come back. But it was just like, that was silly.

[PFT Commenter]

Do you guys have any disgruntled wide receivers?

[Aaron]

Oh, man, it's a little league. Everybody's disgruntled. Everybody's just gonna. Parents and disgruntled. Yeah, I had, I had got into it with a parent. Cause he was like, yo, you don't ever give my son a chance. I'm like, yo, we had the evaluation process. Like your son, like, I don't think he's a non talented kid. I just think we have more talented kids at running. And so I tried to get them the ball and he, you know, he was upset. He's like, well, you just don't give him a shot. I'm like, it's the play. It was the first week of the playoffs when it happened. I was like, it's the playoffs. I was like, why would I give my 4:15 running back reps when my first offense can't go on two right now? It doesn't make any sense. I was like, I have to, I have to coach these kids to win. Right? But I'm here to coach everybody, but like I want to win. And so it's like giving. Tell me how that makes sense. Give him a 4:15 running back reps when I got to get my other guys ready who are going to play that position. Of course he didn't have a real answer, but it's like everybody's disgruntled. You know what I'm saying? Like, kids come to me, hey, coach, can I get in? I'm like, you haven't been in, in this position all year. Why would I put you in right now, son? Like, no.

[PFT Commenter]

What's your, what's your philosophy on going forward on fourth down?

[Aaron]

Depends on where we are in the field. More often than not, I will. We do do the tush push. I implemented that and that's been highly successful. It's really hard to stop because what we'll do is we'll. If we're short, either on third or fourth down, if we're short by a yard or two, maybe even three, wherever we're At. So, like, we'll run a play, and if we're short, I'll just call Eagle. And they already know. Just get up on the line. And so whoever gets the ball, they'll be down and they'll spot the ball fast. And we don't huddle. We just call Eagle and they go for it. And that's been. I think we have 100% success rate on it this year, and I'm sure they're going to coach us up for. But I got something for them in the super bowl if they. If they try to stop that one. So I'm excited about that.

[PFT Commenter]

I like it. I hope they're not listening.

[Aaron]

I hope they are. I don't care. The last. The last. The last drive. I told them what we were doing. I said, we going to line up around the same play until they stop it. I don't give a shit. Y' all should. And. And it worked. It absolutely worked. That's. That's the kind of coach I don't care. If we do what we supposed to do, they can't stop us. That's how I feel.

[PFT Commenter]

How would you describe your offense, your philosophy?

[Aaron]

My office philosophy is versatile. So, like, the plays that we ran at the beginning of the year, we don't really run anymore. So I. I look at the defense, I see where they're vulnerable, and I implement two to three new plays a game. And I adjust our formation, I adjust our offensive sets, I adjust. I adjust players. I adjust according to what the defense does, because usually in Little League, coaches have a philosophy, they have a mindset, and they don't change. And so I like my play. I got athletes so I can adapt, and they're smart. And so my philosophy is we have, like, our bread and butter, but I like to throw wrinkles in there because if you, as a. Because people watch film in Little League, and so if you practice, you spending time practicing, covering this play. All week, all week. All week. And then we don't run it. That was a waste of time. And you didn't. You didn't get all you could out of practice. I like to do that. I like to keep them guessing. And so when. When they had. When they come up to play us, there's a whole new formation, they're looking around confused because they've never seen it before. Yeah, I like that. That's. That's what I like to do. I like to. I like to keep them guessing, but also I like to have an identity as well.

[PFT Commenter]

Do you have a kicker?

[Aaron]

We do we do. We've been. Hey, I'm proud of him because we've been working with him all year. At the beginning of the year, it was shaky. And then just practice and practice and practice. And last game, he hit three field goals.

[PFT Commenter]

Love that after the kick.

[Aaron]

So, yeah, it was. And they were. And they were booted. And so it's, you know, it's a process. And that's what's the funnest part about coaching, is seeing kids grow and see a kid's confidence grow after they failed. So they failed. And you believe in them and you coach them. Right. Coach them. Technique, and you see them succeed in practice. Succeed, succeed, succeed. Boom. They do it in the game, the confidence goes. That's been one of the most rewarding parts of this entire thing.

[PFT Commenter]

It's very cool. Let me ask you a question. Game situation.

[Aaron]

Let's do it.

[PFT Commenter]

Fourth quarter, you're down 14 to 28. Five minutes left. You've got the ball, you score. So you got six points. Now, do you go for two.

[Aaron]

In our little league or regular football?

[PFT Commenter]

Your little League.

[Aaron]

In our little league, if you kick. If you. If you kick a field goal after a touchdown, for whatever reason, it's three points.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh.

[Aaron]

That's how to rule this set out. So we have been successful kicking. So I would kick the field goal.

[Big T]

Okay, that seems like kind of an insane rule change.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, that's nuts. So a touchdown's worth nine.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

If you. If you score and you kick a field goal, the touchdown is worth nine. They reward. Like solid football, I guess, is the reasoning. The first three games, I didn't really pay attention to the score like that because we was running it up, and so one time we scored twice, and I'm like, how the fuck do we have 18 points we've only had. I was like, what is going on? And they explained to me. I was like, what? I had no idea. Yeah. I don't know. But if we're talking regular football. Yeah. That's all contingent on. It's all contingent on how my defense is playing. But more often than not, if there's. How many. How much time left?

[PFT Commenter]

5 minutes.

[Aaron]

Kick a field goal.

[PFT Commenter]

No.

[Big T]

Gotta go.

[PFT Commenter]

Gotta go for it.

[Aaron]

I. I don't. I disagree.

[PFT Commenter]

Because you're probably gonna get it one or two times, right? 50%.

[Aaron]

Yeah, but you're.

[PFT Commenter]

You.

[Aaron]

You increase the probability of you tying the game because if you miss now, you.

[Big T]

But you decrease the probability of you winning the game.

[PFT Commenter]

Yep.

[Aaron]

Yeah, but that's not a one to one.

[PFT Commenter]

Your.

[Aaron]

Your. Your Likelihood of losing is higher. If.

[Big T]

Not necessarily.

[Aaron]

If you go for it. Yeah, because if you go for it and miss it, now you're, now it's a two score game.

[Big T]

No, no, if you go for it.

[PFT Commenter]

Miss it, you're down 8. So you just go for it. After the next touchdown.

[Big T]

You have to score twice anyway.

[Aaron]

That is true.

[PFT Commenter]

So if you score, if you score once.

[Aaron]

No, that's no, that's no. No, still no.

[PFT Commenter]

Because if you, if you score once and you get the two point conversion, then all you have to do is score another touchdown, the extra point and you win. If you don't get the two point, then you still have to score a touchdown anyways.

[Big T]

It increases the probability of you winning the game.

[PFT Commenter]

Yep. Yeah.

[Aaron]

You know, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't think so.

[Big T]

Well, the math disagrees with you.

[Aaron]

This is why you can disagree philosophically, I think. Yeah, it's philosophical. I think, I think what is the percentage of 2 point conversions made? And it also depends on what league we're in.

[Big T]

Most teams are about 50%.

[Aaron]

50%, yeah.

[Big T]

Which is the entire thinking behind the thing is you have to score twice, you go for it. If you get it, great. Now a touchdown wins. If you don't, you still have to do it again and you, hypothetically speaking, should get it.

[Aaron]

Yeah, I guess I'd have to look at the numbers. If the numbers bear out statistically.

[Big T]

Now, if you're at 32% on two point conversions, then you shouldn't do it.

[PFT Commenter]

Right?

[Aaron]

This, yeah, this is, this is what I'm saying. It depends on where. So, so if the league averages what, look at the, look what the league averages on two point conversion. And it depends on where I fall on that spectrum as well. It depends on everything is contingent. There's a multiplicity of variables like so what kind of defense am I facing? How have I been successful on third down, two point conversions, short yardage, all that shit matters. What is the, what is the average?

[Big T]

This isn't giving me number of attempts, but there are 16 NFL teams currently at 50% or above. And then there are several that are at. Okay, so Seattle and Tennessee. It doesn't even give me zero. So I'm assuming they haven't attempted one. And then there are several that are at zero, but they may only have like one attempt or so. But 16 teams are at 50% or higher. So the average is probably right at 50.

[Aaron]

Yeah, I think it just depends though. It depends on how, how my defense is playing. It Depends on how, how I've been over the course of the season. All that matters, like if it's a, if it, it also depends what game it is. If it's a regular season game, probably more, probably more than I would consider it for a, a play like a playoff game. Nah, there's no point.

[Big T]

I disagree strongly.

[PFT Commenter]

I think, yeah, I, I would go for two. I would do it every time, actually. I don't know why Ron Rivera didn't go for two every time when he was the coach of the Panthers.

[Aaron]

It depends on what kind of offense he has. So you say, yeah, I would go for two every time. But like Cam Newton, that changes. That changes your. Yeah, that changes your percentages. That changes a lot of things. Because it's not just about him getting, being able to run it, it's about him being a decoy to run it.

[PFT Commenter]

Right.

[Aaron]

So now the defense has to account for him in a different way. This is why the variable of what kind of offense do I have? What kind of defense do they, how good is that defense at stopping two point conversions? All that shit matters. So just to blanketly say, yeah, you go for it every time. No, that's silly.

[PFT Commenter]

I would go for it. If I was down 14 with five minutes left, I think I would go for it every time when you score that first touchdown, because let's just say hypothetically, it, you know, you kick two extra points and then you still have to go out in overtime, get a stop, get the ball and win the game.

[Aaron]

That's why I'm saying it depends on how my defense is playing. 1, 2. To go back to your math, if, even if you're at 50%, right. Your percentage has to lower if you have to do it twice. And if you have to do it twice in a row, your percentage has to be even lower than that.

[Big T]

But you might not have to.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, you might not have to do it twice because if you do it the first time, you can just kick.

[Aaron]

But this is what I'm saying, if you miss it the first time, you have to do it. Yeah, twice.

[Big T]

Correct.

[Aaron]

And so I think you're probabilistically your odds lower if you have to do it two times in a row. Because for, for various different reasons. But like if, if I'm in the NFL, I probably have, I don't know, say four to five plays. Right, for that situation.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. If you only have one good two point play.

[Aaron]

Well, I'm not saying that. That's what I'm saying. All of this just depends. But usually if the NFL. I would be confident saying that off an office coordinator probably has like four to five, maybe even more plays for that situation. But again, personnel. Yeah. All of this matters though. But off top, no, I wouldn't.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, I hope, I hope your players parents are listening to this.

[Big T]

These guys aren't analytically inclined.

[PFT Commenter]

Doesn't know how many timeouts are left. Won't go for two.

[Aaron]

My little league team is in championship. Have somebody armchair quarterbacks.

[Big T]

What time you said it's on Sunday?

[Aaron]

It's on Sunday at 7:00pm oh, wow.

[Big T]

Sunday night football prime time. Have somebody set up, set up a tripod, put a phone on it and just record it. Live stream it.

[Aaron]

I don't know how to how you do that.

[Big T]

Just go live on Instagram.

[Aaron]

Ig. Yeah, we'll look into that.

[Big T]

Yeah, I'd like to watch.

[PFT Commenter]

I'd like to watch too. I'll be judging your. Your offense.

[Aaron]

I judge away. We nice with it. Although our defense is the best in the league.

[PFT Commenter]

Really?

[Aaron]

Yeah. Our defense is nice.

[PFT Commenter]

Do they carry your offense?

[Aaron]

Care would be a strong word. But what I would say is when other teams play each other, they just score. Yeah, it's 35 to 40 something. When they play us, the score is 28 to 6, 30 to 12. You know what I'm saying? They just don't score as much. We've had some shout outs. They just don't score. Our defense is stout. I think we're well balanced there.
