[Big T]

But hey, I mean, one. Okay, two. Two. You're losing sunglasses fairly often. Three. I mean, three would. I think you're in trouble.

[Mike]

I almost feel like if I and up, if I had one pair of sunglasses, I would never lose it. But because I have a lot of different pairs of sunglasses, I'm more careless with them.

[Big T]

So Shady Rays needs to give you fewer free sunglasses.

[Chaps]

Exactly.

[Mike]

That's what I'm begging. Shady.

[Big T]

I'll take these then Shady Rage.

[Mike]

Just send me two more free pair of sunglasses and that's all that I'll have for the summer. We'll see if I can keep them.

[Mike]

[Chaps]

[Chaps]

Yeah, I'm well maxing.

[Mike]

I love that mad dog McKenzie. How are you guys doing?

[Big T]

Good.

[Chaps]

Good.

[Guest]

I don't. I. I would say whelmed.

[Mike]

Good.

[Guest]

In a good way. In a positive way.

[Big T]

What does your hat say? What does that mean?

[Guest]

It's a brand that my. My friend started that I paid for the hat.

[Mike]

What does it mean?

[Chaps]

This means like, like, duh. I like that.

[Mike]

Le Duh. Le duh.

[Guest]

But French.

[Mike]

But French. Got it. Okay. So like, if a. Like a sassy Pepe Le Pew. All right. I like it.

[Guest]

Yeah. Thanks, guys.

[Mike]

I'm on board the lay down movement.

[Guest]

Thank you.

[Chaps]

Clip that.

[Mike]

Yep. Happy Power plant and bridge day to all who celebrate Tuesday. So today is. I thought power plan bridge day was gonna be last week, but it got moved. It's this week. We'll see. I have my doubts about whether or not it's gonna be actually power plant bridge day. I hope it's not.

[Big T]

Can you explain? So I was waiting for church to start, and I was on my phone and I saw that tweet come across. It's. It seems to be like three separate ideas mashed into one. Okay, so there's the power plant and bridge day. And he just said in his. In his press conferences, afternoon, the entire country could be taken out in one night. And that night might be tomorrow night. Okay, so that's. So that's one thing. Then. Open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. That seems to be the second part.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Then he. He goes to Allah. Yeah, explain that one to me.

[Mike]

Just watch. Praise be. I'll read the entire tweet. I think it's. This is bad storytelling, to say the least. In this tweet, Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one in Iran. There will be nothing like it. Open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch. Praise be to Allah. President Donald J. Trump. If you're doing a screenplay in three acts, there's a formula to it where there's like, the inciting incident and then the, you know, like the. The rising action that builds up to a climax and then gets wrapped up at the end. This has not. This just kind of keeps going up. I'm more confused after having read this. My theory is that he does not know what to do, and so he's just getting angrier and so then nothing's going to happen. He'll say that he won a negotiation, and then he'll just withdraw and claim victory. That's what I think will happen.

[Big T]

I still don't understand the praise be to Allah part.

[Mike]

I think that was sarcastic. I think he was doing a. Sarcasm.

[Chaps]

He was doing a racism.

[Mike]

Yeah, he's doing a mild.

[Chaps]

He was doing a racism.

[Mike]

Mild racism.

[Big T]

Yeah. It was just. That was a hell of a tweet.

[Mike]

Yeah. On Easter.

[Big T]

On Easter. I was sitting in church on Easter morning waiting for it to start, and I saw that come across my desk.

[Mike]

I did watch Alex Jones reaction to this tweet. He was disappointed. He was very disappointed. When you've lost Alex Jones, when you've gone too far for the infowar.

[Big T]

Now, was he like an OG Trumper, or was he at the beginning kind of like, this is a psyop?

[Mike]

No, no. Alex Jones was absolutely batshit insane for decades. And then Trump, for some reason, kind of like, piqued his interest. And then Trump went on Infowars back in 2015 or 2016 and kind of branded himself as the outsider candidate that will be fighting against the. The elites over in Europe and the globalists, they're trying to do a one world government.

[Big T]

And so he was on board with Trump before he won the nomination.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Big T]

First time.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Mike]

But then Alex Jones has become more mainstream since joining the Trump train back in 2016, and he's doing less of the crazy that he used to do, like the really insane conspiracy stuff that he used to talk about. Now he's just become like your average run of the mill Trump supporter.

[Chaps]

That huge lawsuit that he lost probably weighed in on that sometimes.

[Mike]

That probably did weigh in quite a bit. Yeah. But now Alex. Alex Jones is like, this was. Is bad language to use on Easter, Mr. President. So a little decorum. Alex Jones, any other time.

[Chaps]

Fine. Yeah. Just can't do it on Easter.

[Mike]

Not on Easter. I. I don't know what's gonna happen. It sounds like he's kind of like Trump's kind of cornered his. He did not really think this through that well. And he just kind of hoped that it would be a. A side project that he would do.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And he's finding that the side project is not just one that you can walk away from. And so now he's kind of flailing and I, I hope. I hope what he does is he just gets out of there and claims victory. That would be, I think, ideal for. For everybody involved. Yeah. Where he just lies and he's like, yeah, I talked to them. They gave me everything that I wanted. A great victory for the United States. I think that would be probably the. It would. It would cost the least amount of life if he did it that way. So that's what I'm hoping for, I think. But who knows what. What he's going to do. Big T, you sent over a. A clip of a concert in our. Our pre show prep sheet.

[Big T]

Did you see this?

[Mike]

I didn't see until you sent it over, so.

[Big T]

Oh, you didn't see.

[Mike]

No, no. So Kanye west is back big time. So.

[Big T]

Not that I'm not saying that the numbers would indicate.

[Mike]

The numbers would indicate that he is. Is. When did he schedule this concert? Has this been scheduled for a long. Or was.

[Big T]

I heard about it an hour before it started.

[Mike]

I've not heard. I've not heard of Kanye touring.

[Big T]

This was Thursday night or maybe Friday.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Big T]

At. At Sofi Stadium in LA. And he had 80,000 people in there. It looked like one of. He was on like a globe type deal. It was insane.

[Mike]

It was actually crazy looking.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So it looks like he's going to be playing in India, Turkey, Netherlands, France.

[Chaps]

He'll be real comfortable with a lot of the imagery in India, though.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Chaps]

The Hindu symbols will make him feel right at home.

[Mike]

Yeah. He's like, this is. This is what. It's all.

[Chaps]

I got in trouble in America for these same exact symbols.

[Mike]

Yeah. It turns out I was just believing in peace. Yeah. So I guess he's back on tour and I guess he's like fully back because this concert clip that I saw of all the lights did look insane.

[Chaps]

The on top of the world. Yeah, that looked dope.

[Big T]

Crazy.

[Mike]

Like the man knows how to put on a show to this day.

[Chaps]

He knows a good visual minus a house decoration.

[Mike]

Right.

[Chaps]

Where it's like all white.

[Mike]

And I. What I don't understand with Kanye is like, as he's. He was going through some really, really bad mental episodes when he was planning this tour, but he was still able to like, describe the wild shit he was seeing in his mind's eye and then have it made and like follow up on the production teams to see samples of things. Be like, yeah, I think this is going to be a good piece to put in the giant globe that's going to come out on stage and then if I could ascend up into a big white light, like he's actually making detailed planning decisions while he's also going through like a severe psychotic break.

[Chaps]

He has to have like his Own personal jinx.

[Mike]

Yeah, like that. Yeah.

[Chaps]

Just speaks fluent Frank to him. Like he speaks it. He knows exactly. Even in the midst of like. Yeah, like gotcha. Even like breaking his glasses moment. Like he knows what he's talking about and he can get everything in order. And he has a Mikey Betts on off to the side too. He has to have that same kind of team.

[Mike]

That would be a tough job to have. Tough to be Kanye jinx.

[Big T]

Now, if you didn't know about that, did you know he came out with a new album on Friday also?

[Mike]

I did, yes. Because it got recommended to me on the release radar.

[Big T]

So I did what Arian did with the NCAA tournament. I listened to 10 to 15 seconds of pretty much every song. They all sounded remarkably similar to me. I was not overly impressed with any of the clips I heard, but.

[Mike]

Okay. What's the single?

[Big T]

I have no idea.

[Mike]

It looks like North Carolina is hiring Michael Malone as their new head coach.

[Chaps]

Not sexy enough.

[Big T]

Who?

[Mike]

Michael Malone. From the. From the Nuggets NBA championship.

[Big T]

Really?

[Mike]

Head coach Michael Malone? That.

[Big T]

Are you.

[Mike]

I feel like we can do better.

[Big T]

Are you sure about this?

[Mike]

I mean, listen, that sounds harsh. Michael Malone is a great coach, but I don't know that he's going to be a great coach for the University of North Carolina.

[Big T]

Okay. Yeah, it is interesting. Yeah.

[Mike]

I'm like, he's a great NBA coach and I feel like the skill set is going to be much, much different. I'm just looking up right now. So he hasn't coached in the college. College ranks since 2001 when he was an assistant at Manhattan.

[Big T]

This to me feel now. I mean, if you can get a guy who's won an NBA championship, like, that's great. I guess this feels like a desperate we have to hire someone before the transfer portal opens type deal to me.

[Mike]

It sounds to me like they had all their eggs in the dusty May basket.

[Big T]

No, I think it was Tommy Lloyd.

[Mike]

Both. Probably both those guys. They wanted one of them and they got.

[Big T]

I thought Tommy Lloyd was going to.

[Mike]

So did I.

[Chaps]

But Donovan would have been awesome too.

[Big T]

Yeah, well, see, so I was skeptical of Billy Donovan because he's been in the NBA for over a decade now. He like much in the same way. He's had great teams in college, obviously, but hasn't dealt with nil transfer portal, any of that. So even that I was like, I mean, you're kind of taking a risk there as well. But this is. That's an interesting one. I now Tommy Lloyd. Did you see the deal he got yeah, he got the sickest, the sickest gig of all time.

[Mike]

He doesn't have a boss anymore.

[Big T]

He got a massive raise and he told the ad, I'll stay, but I, I don't report to you anymore. I have no boss. Which is awesome.

[Mike]

I guess his boss is the president of the University of Arizona.

[Big T]

I guess so.

[Mike]

I think that's it. But yeah, he does not. He doesn't have a, like a real boss. Yeah, he's got a boss that will say like if he's fired at some point.

[Big T]

So you get to do that, make a ton of money, stay out in Arizona, don't have to go to a fishbowl type. Yeah.

[Chaps]

But as somebody that went to Arizona recently, you feel like a creep as a, a middle aged person there. Like, no. No matter what. I had to go do one of those high noon meet and greets there.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

And they sent me and Clemmer.

[Mike]

Where was that?

[Chaps]

It was at one of the major sports bars that were on campus. It was like on campus.

[Mike]

Was it Arizona State or University of Arizona?

[Chaps]

University of Arizona.

[Mike]

Okay, so you're down in Tucson.

[Chaps]

Yeah, yeah. So we were in Tucson and I go in there, it's pouring ass rains. Me and Clemmer, which that's who you want to party with when you're in Arizona is me and Clement.

[Mike]

Hell yeah.

[Chaps]

And we go in and it's pouring ass rain. And everybody in there that's working is like a model essentially level of attractiveness. And then there's us handing out high noons. It was the most awkward maybe I've ever felt in my life. Yeah, it was so wildly uncomfortable. Sam, my producer, he like texted a buddy, he was like, go say hey to chaps. He's over there. I was like, please don't send anyone over here. I don't want anyone to see me at all.

[Mike]

So I think the last time we were in Phoenix or in Scottsdale for like a work thing, was that for a Super. No, it wasn't for a Super Bowl. Probably the final four a couple years ago.

[Chaps]

Arizona Bowl.

[Mike]

It might have been. Yeah. Were we in Scottsdale for that at all?

[Chaps]

Yeah, I think so.

[Mike]

So I remember being at, at the barstool Bar and lots of attractive ladies working at the barstool bar and they're literally wearing lingerie.

[Chaps]

Right.

[Mike]

And that's how this was.

[Chaps]

So like, I don't want my eyes any. I'm just keeping my eyes like I'm laser focused on people that are 6 foot and above.

[Mike]

Yeah. I'm just, I'm Looking around, I'm like, this is crazy. Like, you don't. You don't have to be wearing underwear if you don't want to, man. Yeah.

[Chaps]

I felt awkward about the lady in a T shirt.

[Mike]

Yeah. I think you've got a. You got a great personality. Yeah. Can we showcase that?

[Chaps]

You don't have to do this.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

Unless you want to.

[Mike]

Yeah, but they. Yeah, they really want to. Yeah.

[Chaps]

I would too. If I was a super hot lady, I'd have my yetis out all the time. Of course I'd be slinging them things around.

[Mike]

Use what you got, right?

[Chaps]

Yeah. Yep.

[Mike]

God doesn't make mistakes.

[Chaps]

No.

[Mike]

What else we got going on today? There was a big rescue over the weekend. Big ta.

[Big T]

Did you SEAL Team six, Did you

[Mike]

read up about it?

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mike]

SEAL Team six got the wizo out. The wizard, the wizzo weapon systems operator. That's with the back seat pilot. 15E strike A.

[Voicemail Caller]

You'll.

[Mike]

Yeah, got it. So there's a guy up front and his job is to fly the plane for the most part. The guy in the back, he's like monitoring all the sensors and the radar and all that.

[Big T]

His job is literally monitoring the situation.

[Mike]

Yeah, actively monitoring all situations at all times.

[Big T]

That would be me. Yeah, I'd be monitoring the situation.

[Mike]

So they. They got shot down, ejected, and put together a pretty crazy raid from what I've gathered to, to go rescue this guy. And it's interesting because back in like the 19, I think it was like the late 70s, early 80s, we tried to set up a massive hostage rescue operation in Iran. And we flew a bunch of planes and shit into the desert and they all got like eaten up by the desert and it became like a. A big embarrassing failure for the United States back then. They got planes that got like stuck in the dust. There was a massive dust storm that popped up and like helped to stop the rescue mission that we had in place. And we tried to run the same thing back, this time with down pilot. This time it worked a little bit better, but we still left behind two AC130s. So what we did was we. We like created a temporary forward operating base, at least for refueling out in the middle of the desert. And then when we couldn't get all our out of there, we just like blew up the planes and got out. I think we blew up a couple helicopters too and loaded everything else onto a plane and got out with the. With downed pilot. And there might have been help from the locals too, because that's apparently the. The part of the country that the pilot was downed in is, like, less sympathetic towards the Iranian regime right now. So there were, like, some. Some traffic backups and. And like, just traffic jams on all the major roads to get to the area that the pilot was in that some of the locals might have jammed up themselves to create a diversion also. Then some B1 bombers came in and dropped cluster bombs. But, yeah, pretty crazy story.

[Big T]

And this guy climbed 7,000ft, they said, into a. Like into a mountain to hide out for 36 hours till they could get to him.

[Mike]

That's what it sounds like. Yeah. Like, he. He increased his. Yeah, the vertical height went up 7,000ft as he was walking along, like, a ridge. So it's not to say that he, like, climbed up right. Seven thousand, but, yeah, that much elevation gained. So if you're. If you're a pilot and chaps, maybe you can tell me about, like, what else you went through in the military. Do they. Did you have. Was it Search Syria Sear training? What does that stand for?

[Chaps]

Search, search, evade, resist and escape.

[Mike]

What does that involve the training?

[Chaps]

It's kind of like. Have you ever seen G.I. jane? Yeah, they do, like, a really good job of explaining it. It's just like, high, like. So you do initial training. Marines will do initial training where you go to, like, boot camp and then follow on school, like, combat training. And they tell you, like, Geneva Convention rules, like, what would happen if you ever got tortured situation. And then certain levels, like, the higher and higher you go up, like, with specialties, like pilots, they all go to Sears school. Like all the guys that I was with in recon, all Sears school graduates, Seal Sear school graduates. So once you start becoming, like, an operator, you're going to have to go through that. But it's pretty intense. Like, they do, like, makeshift torturing. Like, that's where you would get, like, waterboarded, like, where you. So you could experience what that actually felt like. It used to be rumors back in the day that you could break one bone. They don't really do that anymore.

[Mike]

Like, you're allowed to break one. Yeah, people that instruct.

[Chaps]

Yeah, they were allowed to break one bone back in the day. I don't think that's a thing anymore. It could be brought back. Who knows? But yeah, it's very, very serious school. Depending on. There's multiple layers of serious school as well. But the, like, top levels are very, very intense.

[Mike]

So what'd you go through in that?

[Chaps]

The bottom, like, the very easy C or three.

[Mike]

They waterboard you?

[Chaps]

Yeah, I've Been wanting boarded? Yeah, I was a non lethal weapons course instructor, so we did a lot

[Mike]

of that kind of stuff.

[Chaps]

But, yeah, waterboarded, but not like over and over again. Like twice. Like where you can feel it and it's terrible. Yeah, you just feel like you're drowning.

[Mike]

So it sounds like this was a crazy operation. I'm sure we'll find out more about it later on. But, like, it was a pretty high, high cost that we paid to rescue this guy. Like, each one of those planes, I think is like, what, 70 to $100 million. But I guess that's like, you know, if you got somebody that's.

[Big T]

You willing to put a price on an American.

[Mike]

No, I'm saying, like, that shows you that, like the priority. If you have like one guy that's out there, we will move heaven and earth to try to bring that one guy back.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mike]

You could also say, like, it might be easier to just not have that guy there in the first place.

[Big T]

Well, sure. That's not up to him.

[Mike]

And probably better to do.

[Big T]

From the creator of John Wick and Nobody comes the new movie Normal. A double barreled shotgun blast of pure mayhem for Sheriff Ulysses, played by Bob Odenkirk. A new job as temporary sheriff in the quaint town of Normal, Minnesota was meant to be a welcome respite from recent troubles. But when a botched bank robbery interrupts the piece, a dark secret is exposed and Ulysses discovers that the town is anything but its namesake. Suddenly, everyone is trying to shoot the sheriff, and he has to rely on his wits and some crooks if he is to survive the night. And that's all before the Yakuza show up. Starring Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Headey.

[Voicemail Caller]

Steven.

[Big T]

See it only in theaters starting April 17th.

[Mike]

Big T. I want to talk to you about something.

[Big T]

What's up?

[Mike]

Have you. Have you been monitoring the Jake Paul situation?

[Big T]

This is the first I've heard his name in several months, so no.

[Mike]

Have you been monitoring the Jake Paul situation? Chaps, he was on Theo Von's podcast. They were talking about the Druski skit.

[Chaps]

Oh, I.

[Big T]

Throwing a lot of names.

[Chaps]

I did. I did hear this part. Yeah.

[Mike]

You're familiar with the Drew Sk.

[Big T]

I. I saw it. Yes.

[Mike]

Yeah, they're. They're breaking that down. They were saying.

[Big T]

So Jake Paul was with Theo Vaughn talking about Drew Ski doing an Erica Kirk.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Mike]

We're getting. We're getting levels.

[Big T]

I'm following.

[Chaps]

This country is just so ridiculous.

[Mike]

Yeah, I know.

[Chaps]

Like every single. You've brought up three different stories, and they're all insane.

[Mike]

Yeah. Everyone, we're repelling. We're spelunking into the cave of the Internet right now. And I feel like this story is probably four levels deep. Okay, so we're starting to run into, like, the water table down here. Jake Paul and Theo Vaughn, you'll be interested to know they. They both agreed that the skit was funny. They thought it was funny. But then they started to wonder, like, what if. What if a white guy did this and put on blackface? And then Jake Paul said he's planning on doing a blackface skit, but they were. They were workshopping the best way to do that skit to have it be funny. And I guess to just have it be funny, because then Theo Vaughn was like, you almost have to get a black guy that's in the skit with you to, like, stamp that and be like, it's cool that Jake Paul approve. But then Jake Paul was like, I almost feel like that's worse. Because then you're like, you're. You're begging for somebody to say that it's okay instead just doing it yourself. And anyways, it was an illuminating conversation.

[Big T]

Ask for forgiveness, not permission.

[Mike]

Yeah. Between these two, trying to figure out what the funniest best way to do blackface would be.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Mike]

So I just wanted to bring you up to speed on that situation.

[Big T]

Yeah, this is. I'm looking at it. This is the first I've seen of this.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Yeah, that's. That's something.

[Mike]

I guess they did bring up the old Jimmy Kimmel Carl Malone.

[Big T]

Right.

[Mike]

Which really did not age well at all.

[Big T]

People forget.

[Mike]

Yeah. Didn't age well at all. And I always talk about, like, the Robert Downey Jr. In Tropic Thunder because I think that's a very funny movie. And people are like, tropic Thunder could not be made today. I disagree. I think that that role that he played in Tropic Thunder was like, a very funny, subversive way of doing it. Where he was playing. The joke was on the actor in that movie that Robert Downey Jr. Is playing. So I still think that you can.

[Chaps]

I think he said that he would do a sequel to it.

[Mike]

Yeah. I. I think, like, you. Here's the thing about blackface. Okay. Blackface.

[Chaps]

I love where this is going.

[Mike]

I don't know. It was started to make fun of black people, like in the minstrel shows.

[Chaps]

It was.

[Mike]

It was like getting dressed up and making fun of black people, which is why it's not a good idea. For white people to do it because of its roots as just like 100% pointing and laughing at black people who at the time were treated as second, third class citizens, if citizens at all. So it's, it's not just about like putting the makeup on. And that's the entire joke. There's a history behind it. And when Robert Downey Jr. Did it, it was like, we're laughing at Robert Downey Jr. Playing a ridiculous actor that has sniffed enough of his own farts to go out of his way to say like, I will wear blackface and I will make it artistic. So that's. I still think that movie could be made.

[Chaps]

Yeah. I mean, shit, we'll see. Because the Paul's are going to do it.

[Mike]

We'll see. I'm excited to see.

[Big T]

Do you think that ever comes out?

[Mike]

I mean, Jake Paul seemed pretty determined.

[Big T]

I mean he kind of. This is an indictment upon society. I mean he does have enough money that he can do whatever he wants. He's like, he's.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Big T]

If he gets cancelled, whatever that means

[Mike]

he's got a compound.

[Big T]

Yeah. I mean he, he lives enough money that he never has to work another day in his life.

[Mike]

Yeah. He could put the skit out and then everyone could hate it and he'd be like, all right, I'm gonna go ride ATVs and then just ride ATVs for the next month.

[Big T]

Like how much money? Who do you think has more money? Aryan or Jake Paul?

[Mike]

Jake Paul. Jake Paul, Jake Paul.

[Big T]

I think so too.

[Mike]

Maybe just from the Tyson fight alone.

[Big T]

Let's see. Net worth. These are never right, but yeah, that's a lot.

[Mike]

How much does it say?

[Big T]

This says between 80 and 200. I think it's closer to the higher end.

[Mike]

I think it would be too. Yeah.

[Chaps]

Yeah, I would say way higher than that. I mean just like his YouTube channel alone, like he gets a ton of money from that.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

Like all of his fights that he's done combined.

[Mike]

Right. And if he wants he can just hit the, hit the lever, the money lever if he wants and do another fight and then people pay for it. He did find the unlimited cash glitch. I mean even after the last fight he just stepped in and people were like, that's so inspiring how he got his ass kicked like that. Like shout out to him so he can get back in the ring at any point.

[Chaps]

Didn't he make like 100 million just from the Anthony Joshua fight?

[Mike]

It might have been.

[Big T]

Sorry, what?

[Chaps]

I think he made like a hundred million from that fight alone.

[Mike]

Yeah, that fight was like, he made

[Chaps]

like Tyson Fury, Anthony John, like, they got paid like the heavyweights would like in those insane fights like Mayweather makes.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul each earned about $93 million after their fight.

[Chaps]

Yeah. So I would say definitely not.

[Big T]

What? Well, yeah, then that, that Scott Aryan beat one fight.

[Mike]

Mm.

[Chaps]

20 minutes of getting your ass kicked. Give it to me all day, daddy.

[Mike]

Definitely worth it.

[Chaps]

I would get my ass absolutely beat in for $100 million.

[Mike]

The one guy I would be a little.

[Chaps]

I did it for $55,000 a year, in fact.

[Mike]

Yeah, I, I would. I would be a little bit afraid still to this day of Mike Tyson. Yeah, I think always. Yeah, I'll be afraid of Mike Tyson punching me in my face.

[Chaps]

I, I think Anthony Joshua goes up that list, too.

[Mike]

Yeah, that.

[Chaps]

That punch that he hit Paul with was brutal.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, that was gnarly.

[Chaps]

Broke his jaw. Who was that. Who was that UFC fighter that got. It was a rear naked stroke, but. Oh, and he was against Cosmo. That the. God, what is his name? And he got. Remember, he. It wasn't like a real, real naked choke, but it was actually like, on his jaw.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

Pulled through and snapped, like, his palate in half.

[Mike]

Who is that guy?

[Chaps]

What the is his name? That was a gnarly, gnarly injury, though.

[Mike]

I think I would rather get into a fight with like, a, like a tiger than with Mike Tyson. Like the tiger?

[Big T]

Yeah, just a tiger.

[Mike]

The tiger might get bored.

[Big T]

Tiger might be like, Mike Tyson's what, 60?

[Mike]

Yeah, but if Mike Tyson's in the ring, he's going to try to punch you.

[Big T]

Tiger's going to try to eat you.

[Mike]

Not necessarily. Maybe the tiger's not. It's like, I'm not hungry. Maybe I just ate.

[Big T]

How long are you in the ring? May.

[Mike]

The tiger looks at me, it's like, you don't look.

[Big T]

How long are you in the ring with the tiger?

[Mike]

I. I think I would rather do 10 seconds in the ring with a tiger than three minutes of Mike Tyson.

[Big T]

10 sec. I mean, you can.

[Mike]

Now, I, I'm saying this like, if I was in the ring of Mike

[Chaps]

Tyson, a freshly fed tiger. I think I agree with you.

[Mike]

And a hungry Mike Tyson.

[Chaps]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

Freshly fed tiger. Maybe now, maybe if the Tigers had a couple ambience.

[Big T]

What's the. Okay, so Mike Tyson at 60 years old. What's the worst that happens? You get, like, a terrible concussion.

[Chaps]

Oh, you die.

[Mike]

Yeah, you could die. No, I'm saying if I did this against Mike Tyson, I would not.

[Chaps]

And that Jake Paul fight, watch him hit the bag. If he connects with your head with one of those punches that he could still throw, you're dead, guaranteed. Like you would. You could absolutely die.

[Mike]

I think he could kill me. Now, I'm, I'm, I'm saying that like if I was in with Mike Tyson, obviously I could going to run circles around him. I could take a dive. But I'm saying in this situation, if I'm not allowed to take a dive and I have to keep standing up and trying to fight Mike Tyson for three minutes versus 10 seconds, there's a tiger in the other corner. And then I just step into the ring. I don't know if the tiger notices me or not. I just have to survive for 10 seconds. Get out. I think I'd rather do that because I think one punch from Mike Tyson still to this day, my head just

[Chaps]

fighting Tyson in a realistic scenario, a thousand percent.

[Big T]

What are the odds of death fighting Mike Tyson? Less than 1%.

[Chaps]

Less than 1. Yeah.

[Big T]

The odds of death in a tiger,

[Chaps]

I'd say probably about 85, 90.

[Big T]

Oh, I wasn't going to go that high, but higher than 50, I think,

[Chaps]

like if a tiger wants to.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

And that.

[Big T]

Well, then it's 100.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah. If the tiger knew that.

[Big T]

But I think you have to throw. So I'd say 70%.

[Mike]

If the tiger knew it was in a fight, perceived me as a threat,

[Big T]

then you are 100.

[Chaps]

The only way I do the 10 seconds with a tiger is if you let me have, like my pockets, like cargo pockets full of meat.

[Mike]

Yeah. And you just throw some of the meat.

[Chaps]

Yeah, I can throw some meat.

[Mike]

Yeah, throw some meat.

[Big T]

Can't do that. No meat.

[Chaps]

What about like a super Soaker full of blood?

[Big T]

No, there's no, no accessories.

[Mike]

I just got the.

[Big T]

We're in boxing. That's it.

[Chaps]

Because I mean, if I have to wear gloves.

[Mike]

Okay, so here's nothing.

[Big T]

Nothing in the gloves.

[Mike]

I take the glove off and I throw the glove across the ring. Then he goes to investigate the glove, and while he's doing that, I pop out.

[Chaps]

Well, if you take off your glove, then the clock stops.

[Voicemail Caller]

Damn.

[Big T]

Is that true?

[Chaps]

Yeah, time stops. So you would lose?

[Mike]

Yeah, I think my best.

[Chaps]

I think three minutes. I mean, because if you have a ref in there, just get hit once, do the Jose Canseco Billy football, you

[Big T]

got to go the full three.

[Chaps]

Oh, well, then you're definitely dead. You think if Mike Tyson's not stopping because a ref tells him to in three minutes, I'm dead.

[Big T]

No, like, like you get 10 seconds to get up and whatever, but you can't just like end the fight unless you get knocked out.

[Chaps]

Because they couldn't, they couldn't judge my heart. So they would know I would just be like, I'm concussed severely. Because I would be. That's why you would be.

[Big T]

No. Yeah. A concussion. Thousand percent.

[Chaps]

One hit from.

[Big T]

I don't think you're dying.

[Chaps]

Any of us. One hit from Tyson. We are definitely knocked out. Definitely.

[Big T]

Yeah, probably.

[Chaps]

Maybe a J. I could take. I could probably eat a jab, but anything that's not. And I probably couldn't eat a jab. Like as hard as he hits jabs.

[Mike]

I think we could. I think you can eat a.

[Chaps]

You would be full fledged jab.

[Mike]

It's about like. Yeah. The right hook from Tyson.

[Chaps]

Oh, right hook. You're dead.

[Mike]

The. Any uppercut from Mike Tyson.

[Chaps]

Oh, the uppercuts that he used to throw against like Buster.

[Mike]

Yeah, that would, that would kill me.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So that is what I'm out on.

[Big T]

Tiger eating animal. Let's just see what.

[Mike]

No, I don't want to.

[Big T]

Tiger hunts. Baby deer

[Chaps]

the size of Bengal tigers is absolutely insane too.

[Big T]

Like, compared just the look in this guy's face. I mean, you'd.

[Mike]

You're so screwed to look in the tiger's face.

[Big T]

Yeah. Look at this guy. Dude, look at. He's. He's about to eat the fuck out of this thing.

[Mike]

Yeah, See, I'm, I'm also banking on stepping in the ring with the tiger. And the tiger is distracted by the other people that are like, in the crowd.

[Big T]

Oh, he's got him.

[Mike]

I think, I think the tiger would go after the ref first.

[Big T]

That's something that you're. You're gonna have. That's a risk you're gonna have to

[Mike]

take the ref steps to the middle and he's. He's like bringing in you two. He's closer to the tiger than, than he is to me.

[Big T]

That is true.

[Mike]

So it's like when you, when you're in a race and it's you, another guy and a bear, you don't have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun the other guy.

[Big T]

You don't have to be first. Just can't be last.

[Mike]

Exactly. All right, well, that's. Yeah, it's a decent hypothetical, I think,

[Big T]

throwing a live chicken at tigers. See how this ends.

[Chaps]

That would be a good time.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's like, will it blend?

[Big T]

Not good for the chicken. Not good.

[Chaps]

Definitely not not good.

[Mike]

He's like, play volleyball with it.

[Big T]

I mean, he's dead in a second.

[Mike]

Yeah. It is Masters week, which I'm very excited about. Every year that I get older, the more excited I get about the Masters.

[Chaps]

It's my favorite sporting event of the year.

[Big T]

Really.

[Chaps]

Like, I don't think it's even. Unless the Jags were in the Super Bowl, I don't think anything comes close for me.

[Voicemail Caller]

Really? Yeah.

[Chaps]

It's my number one favorite to watch.

[Mike]

It is. It's soothing.

[Chaps]

It is. Like, it's a relaxing game. Like, the colors of it, the sound, everything about it. Like, it's all the senses, like, you get. I'll make a lovely little egg salad sandwich. Have some fellas over. We're gonna do pimento. We're gonna do the master's menu over at my house. My wife goes out of town for work on Saturday night, so just me and some fellas hanging out, watching it.

[Big T]

Did you do the.

[Chaps]

The pack you can order? What pack? What is that?

[Big T]

Oh, you can order. I'm. I think they're sold out now, but you could order the. They'll send you, like, pimento cheese and egg salad and all that from the masters.

[Chaps]

Oh, no, I didn't know that.

[Mike]

Yeah, so there.

[Big T]

I did it last year.

[Mike]

They. They have a new item this year, the. The candy bar.

[Big T]

Oh, I haven't seen that.

[Mike]

Yeah. Augusta invented a candy bar that they're going to put out. I think it's like a dollar fifty, because everything there is super cheap.

[Big T]

Is it just classic chocolate or. It's got stuff in it.

[Mike]

No one knows. This is the first that they're putting it out.

[Big T]

So today we'll probably find out.

[Mike]

Today we're going to find out about the candy bar and. It sounds intense. The other. The other story that I was monitoring coming into this week at the Masters is the gnome situation. Are you familiar with the master's gnome?

[Big T]

I am. So sell out every year.

[Chaps]

I thought we were going back to Po. I was like, here we go. Okay.

[Mike]

This is. This is the last year that they will be selling the gnome.

[Big T]

Oh, I did not know that.

[Mike]

Because the resale market on these gnomes has gotten out of control. They can be up to $10,000 if you have a. A 2016 gnome in its original packaging. That's the first year that they put the master's gnome out. Those are going for, like, 10 grand online, and they've had to make it. It's like China with their one child policy. They have a one gnome policy now at The Masters where each person, each card. So it's not like if you buy a gnome with a credit card, you can't go back later on that weekend and buy another gnome. They keep. They monitor which cards have bought gnomes. So you can only buy one. And if you're there, like, with your spouse or a significant other, you have to act like you're a separate family almost if you want to get two gnomes. Because they don't want, like, husband, wife teaming up, going in, getting two gnomes.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

It breaks the spirit of the rule. And so the Masters has decided that they are no longer going to be selling the gnomes. I think they're doing it because it turned the. The patrons at Augusta into, like, wild animals.

[Chaps]

Animals with these.

[Mike]

No. And it's. That's decidedly not the Augusta way.

[Chaps]

Trent always says that the. The approach up there is like the wild west.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

That it's like the most intense situation.

[Big T]

And a million dollars an hour.

[Chaps]

Yeah. Because people will have, like $10,000 worth of clothes. I found what's in this candy bar.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Chaps]

They described it. Ready?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

It's a dark chocolate blend that has caramel, rice, crisp. Oh. And a hazelnut crunch.

[Big T]

See, I'm not. I'm. I never got into the hazelnut thing, but everything else is amazing.

[Chaps]

See, like, typically, if you paired that and with their other seasonal treat that they have now, which is a peach ice cream sandwich.

[Big T]

Yes.

[Chaps]

Like, they use, like, a white blondie, like the ice cream sandwich, but the vanilla version with peach ice cream on the inside. That's a combo that you can get together.

[Mike]

That sounds delicious.

[Chaps]

That sounds great. Like, it. Because everything there has to be old person mouth, you know, like, it has to be designed for old people. Like egg salad, pimento cheese, peach ice cream. This fits that. The hazelnut crunch. That's what did it.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

That establishes it's an old person thing.

[Mike]

You gotta gum it to death sometimes.

[Chaps]

And it sounds amazing. I would absolutely love it. God, I wanted one of those egg salad sandwiches right now. The best egg salad sandwich I've ever had in my life. From Willett in Kentucky on the Bourbon Trail at their distillery. Yeah, it. They do, like, Japan Japanese milk bread. They do this yoki egg jam that they do. That's like a. A yolk jam that has soy sauce blended into it as well. And then they have these fresh pickles that they make on site. Everything's done. I made a video about it and watched the guy do it. And then they shave, like a mound, like, as high as your Delicious Stella Blue can coffee, which is absolutely delicious as well. A stack of Parmesan cheese that high on top of it, shaved right on it. Like they would do it. Olive Garden, you know, like say when. Yeah, it is unbelievably sounds.

[Mike]

This sounds like it's an experience, chaps.

[Chaps]

It is an experience. It was my very like. So I went.

[Mike]

This your favorite sandwich?

[Chaps]

Yes. I've gone three years in a row to the Kentucky Bourbon Trails and Buds. And the first year we happened to go in there and I watched this Bourdain episode where he talked about if you ever go to a restaurant and something on the menu just sticks out as this doesn't make sense. He's like, that item is probably delicious.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

And I go to. You go to a distillery. You know, everything else is you have teriyaki duck wings. That makes sense. Like you have all kinds of things that are typical bar food. And then an egg salad sandwich with like a little star and they have like their little logo on it. You get that shit 10 times out of 10. It was after the first year. It was the very first stop that we had to make. Like we drove from Chicago there to get the egg salad sandwich for lunch.

[Mike]

That sounds absolutely delicious.

[Chaps]

It was amazing. And Japanese milk bread is the goat of breakfast or of lunch sandwiches.

[Mike]

I remember the first time I went to this one restaurant in. In Austin and they had pretty much your standard Tex Me. And then their carnitas were marinated in milk, orange juice and Coca Cola. And I saw that on the menu and that was like, completely different from everything they had. I was like, that sounds so weird. Yeah, that I guarantee you it's good. And yeah, it's. It's the best thing that they have there. That sandwich, though, you're making me want to go to Kentucky just for that sandwich.

[Chaps]

It is. Google it. Look, you have to see what it looks like. Will it. Egg salad sandwich.

[Mike]

Okay. Big T, what's your favorite sandwich?

[Big T]

Love a chicken parm sandwich.

[Mike]

No, I mean, like more specific. Like a chicken parm. You don't have, like.

[Big T]

Oh, like fried somewhere.

[Chaps]

I mean, look at that, dude. And they cut the Japanese milk bread like Texas toast. It's unreal. I want one right now so bad. I've done the copycat recipe. It's good, but not the same.

[Mike]

So, Big T, do you have a favorite particular sandwich?

[Big T]

No, not really. The Chick Fil a sandwich? Probably.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Big T]

I mean, that's probably my most consumed of all time.

[Mike]

Tried and true.

[Big T]

Yeah. I don't. Yeah. Not. Not like from a specific place. Really?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Big T]

The. The place up here, the d', Amatos, the bakery, they do a good chicken parm sandwich.

[Mike]

They do a great chicken Caesar.

[Big T]

There's another place. Not.

[Mike]

Not the salad. It's like this.

[Big T]

The. The wrap.

[Mike]

No, not the wrap. It's a sandwich. It's like a chicken Caesar salad with the cutlet on a. On a sandwich roll.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Mike]

It's so good.

[Big T]

The. There's a place here that has gone viral for the chicken Caesar rap Shout out movie. What's it? Little Victories. That's what it's called. Okay. They're big on TikTok

[Chaps]

movie. Bought a beach house based on chicken Caesar salad.

[Guest]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mike]

What do you mean?

[Chaps]

She just bought herself and she was like, and thank you to chicken Caesar salads.

[Mike]

Good for her.

[Chaps]

Yeah, She's.

[Mike]

She got that beach house money.

[Guest]

You guys have any bets that you like this week at Augusta? No, I just. I sprayed everything. I've got just all different directions. I have no rhyme or reason for the bets that I put in.

[Chaps]

Brooksie in there?

[Mike]

Well, yeah, I got to do Brooks, got to do Max, and then I got to do our guy Jake Knapp, that Arian and I always bet on. And then I did Robert McIntyre, I did Siwoo Cam, and Chris got her up. I'll probably add in another one. This does not sound like a profitable betting strategy.

[Chaps]

No, you're good.

[Mike]

Yeah, I'll probably be good. Also, Scotty just had a baby, so

[Big T]

is that good for me?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Okay. Yeah, because I have. I have a future from several months ago. It was us to win the hockey gold medal, Michigan National Championship in basketball, and Scotty Scheffler Masters. I'm pretty confident Michigan's gonna win tonight. In which case, I mean, you know, golf's a hard sport to predict, but I got the best guy.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

You gotta like your chances going in for sure.

[Big T]

If we can just get him to Saturday, then we'll have some. Some opportunities to. To play around.

[Chaps]

What were your odds on that?

[Big T]

65 to 1.

[Mike]

It's pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. And I feel like having a fresh baby is always. That's good luck at Augusta.

[Big T]

Did he win right after Bennett was

[Guest]

born or right before the Masters? Right before Bennett was born was 20, 24.

[Chaps]

4.

[Guest]

And he did win that year because Rory won last year, right?

[Mike]

Yes, Rory won last year. He's trying to go again. Who do you guys like? Victor Hovland.

[Guest]

Oh, like personally. Personally, she's a bit Ludwig. I love Rory, and I also love Scotty.

[Chaps]

You still love Rory?

[Guest]

I really love them all.

[Chaps]

Rory's got a bad attitude.

[Mike]

He does have bad attitude.

[Chaps]

Like to have $800 million of your sour puss. Dude.

[Mike]

Dude.

[Guest]

Oh, I still like him.

[Chaps]

Like you should. You've been rich and famous since you were 20 years old.

[Mike]

Remember when you have a better attitude? When he drove away fast in that parking lot?

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Could have killed somebody.

[Guest]

I like Rory. I like Scotty. Jordan Speed's like my og. Yeah, you love him.

[Chaps]

What about I like Jordan Speed?

[Guest]

Oh, I like. I like Tommy Fleetwood.

[Mike]

Yeah, I was gonna ask about Tommy.

[Guest]

He's. He's got those fake teeth, though.

[Mike]

Tommy Fleetwood.

[Guest]

And I love his little son.

[Chaps]

I would like to see Tony Finau go on a run.

[Guest]

Trying me high him and his family Are adorable. Yeah.

[Chaps]

Tony's got a good attitude.

[Guest]

I also like Akshay Bhatia, who I believe is homies with Aryan at this point. I think they golf in the same area.

[Chaps]

Oh, yeah. He's a Houston guy, I think.

[Guest]

Yeah. I'm trying to think. Who else?

[Mike]

What do you think about Tommy Fleetwood having a brand new sponsor that he's wearing this week?

[Guest]

Is it Blackstone?

[Mike]

Yeah, he's doing Blackstone. He's doing Blackstone Asset Management. Private equity. Yeah. Weird. This tells me that bullying is working on Blackstone because never, never before has a private equity company felt the need to, like, advertise themselves. In fact, most of them would probably prefer that you don't know their name, especially Blackstone. And now Blackstone has had so much bad press recently that they're like, we got to spend some money on advertising

[Guest]

and on, like, the most likable guy on tour.

[Mike]

Yeah, we'll get the wholesome guy. Like, they did not put out a RFP and have Patrick Reed reply to this. They. They targeted Tommy Fleetwood. And they're like, tommy, will you take probably a. A good amount of money to be the face of Blackstone investments?

[Guest]

And right on the head, like, oh, yeah. And center. I saw his press conference this morning, and I was like, is that real?

[Mike]

It's. That would. I like Tommy Fleetwood. That would make it tougher to root for him, I think.

[Guest]

Totally. I don't want to. Well, actually, Blackstone doesn't get money directly. Like, if Tommy Fleetwood would win to the Masters, he doesn't give them, like, a cut, right?

[Chaps]

No, but they would get. They would get return on investment.

[Guest]

Return on investment, which. Okay, yeah. The Blackstone thing's a tough. Tough one to come around on.

[Mike]

Yeah. And I like. That's why I like. Is it Windom Clark that. No, it's Cam Young that has the ad deal with Major League Baseball. Right.

[Guest]

Oh, really?

[Mike]

I saw someone.

[Big T]

Yeah, he just wears a polo with, like, the MLB logo.

[Chaps]

Yeah, that's best case scenario.

[Mike]

Yeah. Major League Baseball is like, we want to sponsor a golfer.

[Guest]

Someone has a cane's logo on their collar.

[Chaps]

That's a good one, too.

[Mike]

That's a great one.

[Guest]

That's a good one. Yeah, The. The Blackstone is tough. And I. I don't watch golf, like, every single weekend. Is this a new one like that? He's whipping out for the Masters.

[Chaps]

Who's the vanguard? Who's the one vanguard?

[Mike]

Oh, I don't know.

[Voicemail Caller]

I don't know.

[Mike]

I gotta. I gotta take a look at what the. The New wave of. Of sponsors are. I know megacorp is still heavily involved in the Brian Harmon game.

[Guest]

I saw that yesterday.

[Mike]

But, yeah, I think Tommy started wearing Blackstone last week. And I'm assuming. I think he played over the course of this last weekend, didn't he?

[Guest]

At Valero, I think.

[Mike]

Valero.

[Guest]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I didn't see him near the top, but yeah. So be on the lookout for that.

[Guest]

Yeah. Just feels like a bad time to introduce the Blackstone sponsorship.

[Mike]

Yeah. But, I mean, I'm still rooting for a son.

[Guest]

Oh.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I want his son to get over that water. I know he's been working really hard.

[Guest]

Do you think the sun will have a Blackstone hat on?

[Mike]

That'd be funny. Insane. Yeah. We okay, Tommy? Yeah. Tommy, your son is going to be actually sponsored by Northrop Grumman.

[Guest]

Yeah. I mean, they should get a sponsor for him. He's going to be all over it.

[Mike]

If you want to be likable.

[Guest]

Yes.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Guest]

Get Tommy Fleetwood son on Wednesday.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Chaps]

They're advertising on these golfer kids. Yeah.

[Mike]

Raytheon presents Tommy Fleetwood.

[Guest]

Poppy McElroy.

[Mike]

Yeah. Poppy McElroy. Yeah. Boys.

[Guest]

Oh, gosh. Yeah. Okay.

[Mike]

No, never mind. I was about to say something that I should not have said to say it, so I stopped myself. No, no, this is good. This is a good one that I stopped myself on. Trust me, I'm learning. It's only taking me 10 years. I'm starting to figure it out. You better watch out.

[Big T]

Can you say it just for us and we'll bleep it?

[Mike]

No, I'll say it afterwards.

[Chaps]

Okay.

[Big T]

Difference.

[Mike]

No, don't worry about it. These voicemails are brought to you by Fast Growing Trees. I was gonna talk to you about I would wear a hat for Fast Growing Trees.

[Chaps]

Would you stop interrupting? I need to know I'm in the market for a lot of new trees. March is coming. Well, our march is here.

[Mike]

March, April's here.

[Chaps]

Jeez. Yeah, I need these trees.

[Big T]

I think I have a tree arriving here today.

[Chaps]

Do you?

[Big T]

I think so, yeah.

[Chaps]

Where are you gonna plant it?

[Big T]

Just out on my, like, porch.

[Voicemail Caller]

Okay.

[Mike]

Did you guys know that Fast Growing Trees is America's largest, most trusted online nursery with thousands of trees and plants and over 2 million happy customers?

[Chaps]

There's no way they have ones that fruit.

[Mike]

Oh, listen, chaps, they have all the plants your yard our home needs. They have fruit trees, okay? They have privacy trees, flowering trees, shrubs, house plants, all grown with care.

[Big T]

I got a couple orange trees and there was one or two more. I don't recall.

[Mike]

I love it.

[Chaps]

I'm. I am so furious that I don't have them as an advertiser on mine. There is nothing like having a tree that you planted fruit for the first time. I my, one of my biggest hates of leaving my house in San Antonio was that it was the first year that I had figs that actually like produce fruit. And so this year or last year was supposed to be the year that it really produced a lot of fruit and I missed out on it.

[Mike]

Yeah, that is tough to walk away.

[Chaps]

But my blueberry bushes have some blooms on them already this year.

[Mike]

That's huge. When do they come in?

[Chaps]

I think midsummer. I think mid summer.

[Mike]

Yeah, if you, if you eat like even a tomato that you grow yourself.

[Chaps]

Oh, yeah. I want to get a Cher. Do they got cherry trees?

[Mike]

I'm sure they do. Yeah.

[Chaps]

I want a cherry tree.

[Mike]

I'm sure they do. They've got red bud trees too. Yeah, I got one of those last year.

[Chaps]

What about cherry blossoms?

[Mike]

I don't know if they have cherry blossoms or not.

[Chaps]

If you, if you want a beautiful tree, a red Japanese oak or Japanese Japanese maple.

[Mike]

Yeah. Yeah. Those are great trees. They don't grow too tall.

[Chaps]

They don't. I have a couple at my house and they're absolutely gorgeous.

[Mike]

Yeah, I had one of those when I was a kid. I had one of those in my front yard and it was my favorite

[Chaps]

tree that they had, that magnolia tree. Give me a good magnolia tree after the rain. A Magnolia trees bloom smell so beautiful.

[Mike]

I'm gonna go to fast growing trees. I'm gonna check this out. I'm gonna see if they have any, any cherry trees. I would love a cherry blossom.

[Chaps]

I would too.

[Mike]

It looks like they do have some cherry trees.

[Chaps]

Oh yeah, they do.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Chaps]

Oh, yeah. Oh, they got multiple varieties of them. We got the Bing cherry, the Rainier cherry, the black tartan cherry, the lapens. Oh, my God. The monk. Oh, my.

[Mike]

I'm getting some Japanese cherry trees.

[Chaps]

You should. Yep.

[Mike]

You should.

[Chaps]

Oh, these all look so good.

[Mike]

All right, let's do some voicemails.

[Chaps]

Sorry for nutting on trees.

[Mike]

No, this is great.

[Chaps]

I think even got shrubs. Tell them to reach out to me. I need this as an advertiser.

[Mike]

Reach out. Reach out. Trees.

[Chaps]

I need it. Oh, man. You can even, you can even go by zone. What zone you're in?

[Mike]

Oh, yeah. You can search for climate.

[Chaps]

We're in zone six right here.

[Mike]

Hell yeah.

[Chaps]

So if you're in Chicago or you're in zone six, what do we got? That's a bank. That's ranier cherry. That's like the pre. That's the preeminent cherry in the game is the Rainier cherry. Like if you're going to make a cherry tart, you better be using Rainier.

[Mike]

Are those the ones that are a little bit white sometimes? Yeah, yeah, those are good. Yeah, that's some good.

[Chaps]

They usually stay firm longer too. Yeah, man. I want to make some brandy, do my own cherries and then make some brandy.

[Mike]

How do you do, how do you make brandy?

[Chaps]

I think it's same process as wine, isn't it?

[Mike]

Just with fruit.

[Chaps]

Yeah. Or maybe there is a distill. Distilling process.

[Mike]

I've always thought that brandy has a lot in common with whiskey. Is that not true?

[Chaps]

Yeah, I think it is. I think there is a distill like a still involved.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Chaps]

I always wanted to have the brandy from President Bartlett's private orchard in New Hampshire.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

You familiar?

[Mike]

I'm not familiar from the West Wing. I'm not familiar with that. No.

[Chaps]

Because he's a two term governor of New Hampshire.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Chaps]

His farm had cherries that he would make brandy and he would give them as a gift to different visiting heads of state.

[Mike]

That makes sense. Also shout out to the macrodosing listener that sent in like artisanal small batch maple syrup. Appreciate that.

[Chaps]

That was my favorite.

[Guest]

I didn't get any either.

[Mike]

Yeah, I'm sorry. It was addressed to me. I didn't know what it was and I got it home and it was. It was small batch maple syrup.

[Big T]

How small is the batch?

[Mike]

I You want some?

[Big T]

How many bottles are there?

[Mike]

One bottle.

[Big T]

Oh, okay. No, you can have the bottle.

[Mike]

We can share the bottle.

[Guest]

You have spoken about your love for, like, authentic.

[Mike]

Yeah, I said, that's the one thing I'm, like, kind of bougie about that. I guess you could say it's all right. Maybe it's not bougie. It's just, like, I think on. You appreciate it on maple. Good quality. Like, handmade maple syrup is so much better than any other kind of syrup that you can get.

[Chaps]

Me and Kate used to. When we had serious radio, we used to do this thing where we would have, like, a weird topic of the day. Like, one of my favorite ones would be naked dad radio, where we'd have people call in and tell us their favorite story about seeing their dad naked. And we would always get really good ones. We would do, like, peanut butter radio, sweet potato radio. Your favorite story about those things. Well, we did honey, and all these, like, different beekeepers were calling in and telling us about, like, their favorite honey that they make. Like, oh, I move my hives right by this blueberry tree. And it was amazing. One dude was like, butter beans. And then I was like, I posted in a blog, a P.O. box. Within, like, three weeks, I had probably 400 jars of honey from, like, different people from, like. Because I was tweeting about it and stuff.

[Mike]

They all want to show off.

[Chaps]

I finally finished my last little bit of honey that I had, like, six months ago from that group. And it was one that was made from elderberries, like a hive. And it was the best honey of all time. So good. Never expires honey.

[Mike]

Good. Good. Regional honey is also delicious. Also way better than anything that you can get at the store. I agree with that.

[Chaps]

This is the most 43 years old I've ever sounded on a podcast. Today I'm like, the masters is the best.

[Mike]

Like, this is a segment that you did seven years ago.

[Chaps]

True. Yeah.

[Mike]

Right?

[Chaps]

Yeah. I was a young, spry, 35 then.

[Mike]

Chaps, can you. Can you walk us through? Because you did the Chaps and Kate show, and then there was a brief period of time when Casey was your co host.

[Chaps]

That was at first.

[Mike]

Yeah, that was at first. What. How long did that last?

[Chaps]

I think three weeks, maybe two or three weeks.

[Mike]

Who raised their hand first and said, like, I feel like this were.

[Chaps]

Come on.

[Big T]

Who do you think?

[Mike]

Artistically, not. It was definitely case aligned with this. Yeah.

[Chaps]

There were certain times where I would say, and Casey would have, like, no idea what to say, like, in response, because I mean, think about when I first started here. The I used to say was outrageous, like, perverted. Like, really intense. And she was just like, I don't really know what is going on here.

[Mike]

Yep.

[Chaps]

And she came from, like, very traditional sports.

[Mike]

Big J. Yeah.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Big J. Journalist.

[Chaps]

Yeah. And so then she was like, I think I'm going to actually do something different. I was like, cool, Kate. Kate was like, put me in, coach. I'm ready to get weird.

[Mike]

I want to go back. Can we find those. Those, like, original episodes of you and Casey?

[Chaps]

Probably. I thought that they were pretty good. Like, our. Like, our rapport back and forth was good. I thought it was fine. But it was really, like, once Kate came on. And those days were ridiculous, man. Like, start. I would start blogging at, like, 6am because that was when I was like, that was my major focus. So I have. I would blog, like, six, seven times a day, and then that show didn't start until 10:00pm yeah. And it would end at midnight, so. And then I would be back up the next day blogging and doing all that other.

[Mike]

Again, it was the minds.

[Chaps]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mike]

All right, let's play some of these voicemails.

[Voicemail Caller]

Hey, guys. James from New Jersey here. I've got a very important historical hypothetical for you. And the stone rolls away and Jesus comes walking out of the cave. Crowd losing their mind. What song is blaring? I think we have a few pretty good options here. You've got Without Me by Eminem for the Guess who's Back moment, which feels almost too perfect. You've got Jesus Walks by Kanye west. Might be the most on the nose pick of all time, but also might be a bit problematic. And I want to throw a wild card in here. Mama Said Knock youk Out by LL Cool J just coming out. Absolutely. Ready to make a statement. Knock heads with love. I need to know, what's the official walkout song of the Resurrection? Stay. Beautiful.

[Mike]

All right, this is. This is a really good question. It's like the Closer Walkout song, except taken to a much, much more serious degree, I think. You can't go wrong with AC dc. So I would say thunderstruck would be a good one. But then how many of the apostles were around? Were they there?

[Chaps]

11? No, they weren't, like, around. Like, alive still?

[Mike]

No, like, in the vicinity of Jesus.

[Big T]

0.

[Chaps]

0. Yeah. Just ladies. It was the ladies.

[Big T]

Many. Well, they weren't there. They came the next day.

[Mike]

Because I would say boys are back in town would be a good one. The poor back.

[Chaps]

I think you go the theme song, Top Gun.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Chaps]

Like, cuz, you know, like the thunder rolls a little bit at the beginning of it.

[Mike]

Yeah. Are you talking about the. The guitar theme song? Are you talking about the highway to the Danger Zone?

[Chaps]

No, the guitar one.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Chaps]

I feel like it doesn't need words.

[Mike]

Yeah, easy. Like Sunday Morning would be a good one too.

[Chaps]

No, I feel like that's too low key. I feel like you gotta have something like, we're here, it's time to get going.

[Mike]

In your face.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

We did it. Yeah.

[Big T]

You don't know about Peter and John running to the tomb?

[Mike]

No, tell me.

[Chaps]

Pull up.

[Big T]

Pull up John, chapter 20 and just read it. So John, when he wrote his gospel, he never refers to himself by name. He only refers to himself as the. The other disciple or the disciple whom Jesus loved, which was. People think it was like a humility thing. Like he doesn't want to refer to himself by name. Are you in. Are you in John, chapter 20? I'm not sure what. Just where are the verses? Where they're. The Mary Magdalene comes and tells them, like, the tomb is empty. You all need to come see this. And they.

[Chaps]

They asked a woman, why are you crying? Thou have taken my Lord away, she said, and I don't know where they have put him. At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was.

[Big T]

That's later. That's later.

[Mike]

So Peter and the other disciples started for the tomb.

[Big T]

Yes.

[Mike]

Both were running. But the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there, but did not go in.

[Big T]

Then that's what I was talking about.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Big T]

John wrote that he. He outran Peter and got there first.

[Mike]

Okay, got it.

[Big T]

Peter and the other disciple ran, but the other disciple got there first and outran him.

[Mike]

They saw the linen, the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus head. That's the Shroud of Turin. Right.

[Big T]

So I don't know if that exactly is. But the Shroud of Turin is thought to be the burial cloth. Yes. But. Yeah, I was just. I was just saying that. That when John wrote his. He wrote that he ran faster.

[Mike]

I like that.

[Big T]

Yeah, it's. It's a. It's a fun little.

[Mike]

It's a nice little detail that he put in there. I was way faster though. Yeah, I. I like. Boys are back. I feel like that would be a good one for Jesus to roll out too, or just roll out.

[Chaps]

Roll out.

[Mike]

Yeah. Ludicrous. Yeah.

[Guest]

Bring them out.

[Mike]

Yeah. When the world's in that cave by ti. What you got in that cave? Yeah. Bring him out would be a great one.

[Chaps]

Boozy, Badass. They call me Punisher.

[Mike]

I mean, Freebird would rock, too.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Freebird's having a moment.

[Big T]

I think it's too much of a moment.

[Mike]

Well, you'll be happy to know that we don't have any, like, big international competitions coming up for another couple months.

[Big T]

Right.

[Mike]

And so I'm sure it won't get. If they try to put Free Bird onto the US Doing way too much. Doing way, way too much. Now, if. If it's. I'll say that the quarterfinals. If we're in the quarterfinals and we've won some games that have gotten us to that point, then I think we can bring Freebird out.

[Big T]

Quarterfinal. That's winning two knockout games.

[Mike]

Yeah. So I'm saying, like, we've won one ever. We have to be judicious with when we put Freebird onto our national team.

[Big T]

By the way, we didn't talk about this last week.

[Voicemail Caller]

They.

[Big T]

They're. They're kind of stinky.

[Mike]

Yeah. Five to two to Belgium, right? Is that Portugal?

[Big T]

That was Belgium. And then Portugal was to nothing. As someone holding rather expensive tickets to the game that we would need to win the group to be in, I'm highly concerned.

[Mike]

I don't. You think Turkey's going to win our group?

[Big T]

Paraguay, Potentially. Well, yeah. We lose to South American teams like that all the time.

[Chaps]

Who's your second team in this tournament?

[Mike]

My second team.

[Chaps]

Mine's Congo. Yeah. Not making this since 1974.

[Mike]

It is pretty cool. I haven't decided on my second team. I mean, I like. I like watching Messi. I like Netherlands usually.

[Chaps]

I always like the Ivory coast fellas, too.

[Mike]

Ivory coast there. I liked watching Cameroon when they've been at it because they just will beat the out of you, dude. I'm the most violent team.

[Chaps]

I'm so disappointed. I thought I was going to be in the Netherlands during the World cup, but I'm going the week before it happens. I was so hoping to watch another one match.

[Mike]

Yeah, they're really good.

[Chaps]

That would have been awesome. I mean, just the vibes. Like them in the streets. The Netherlands in the streets. Big. You like orange? You'd love it.

[Big T]

No, I've seen them. Yeah, they are. They are big. Orange as well.

[Mike]

I think I'm gonna root for the United States and then my second team's Italy. So I hope one of my two favorite teams can win the World cup this time.

[Big T]

I don't think a lot of American cities are prepared for what the World cup is going to be.

[Mike]

Go on.

[Big T]

Like, I think we, you know, we host a lot of huge events here, but I don't think, you know, cities like Atlanta or Miami or wherever are prepared for, like, the influx of, like, what though this event is. They might not be, because, I mean, we've only. Is 94. Is that the only time we've had it?

[Mike]

Yeah, and it went pretty well in 94.

[Chaps]

Where was that? LA.

[Mike]

It was all over. Yeah.

[Chaps]

I think. But wasn't like the Florida.

[Big T]

We played in the Rose Bowl. Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah. And I think that's where the. The championship game was. Right.

[Chaps]

Was that Alexis year?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Alexi Lawless. Let's see how many dudes I can remember if that team probably. Alexi.

[Big T]

Hang on, hang on. Okay, 94.

[Mike]

How many. How many players from that roster do you think I can name?

[Big T]

Thirteen.

[Chaps]

Oh, geez.

[Mike]

Yeah, I don't know if I can do that.

[Big T]

Oh, really?

[Mike]

I'll try.

[Chaps]

That's like half the roster.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Big T]

All right. I'm on. I am.

[Mike]

Thirteen is roster. It's. That's every starter and then a couple guys on the bench.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I was nine. I was nine years old.

[Big T]

All right, you love that team.

[Mike]

Okay. Tony Meola.

[Big T]

Yes.

[Mike]

Great. Italian American goalkeeper. Tom Dooley.

[Big T]

Yes.

[Mike]

Marcelo Balboa.

[Big T]

Yes.

[Mike]

Alexi Lawless.

[Big T]

Yes.

[Mike]

John Harks.

[Big T]

Harks.

[Mike]

Yes. Tab Ramos.

[Big T]

Yes.

[Mike]

Kobe Jones.

[Big T]

Yes.

[Mike]

Brian McBride.

[Big T]

Yes. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm not seeing.

[Mike]

Bride wasn't on that team.

[Big T]

Brian McBride. I'm not seeing him on here. Okay, you're back to seven.

[Mike]

Back to seven.

[Big T]

I said yes because I just assumed he had to be.

[Mike]

Jeff Agus. No, he wasn't on that team either.

[Big T]

No.

[Mike]

Eddie Pope.

[Big T]

No.

[Mike]

Yeah, I think we might be stuck at seven. Hang on.

[Big T]

There's one if you. There's. Okay. There are two that if you don't get. I mean, one we've discussed on this show a number of times.

[Chaps]

Howard.

[Mike]

Did I. Did I not say Lexi Lawless?

[Big T]

You did.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Big T]

Tim Howard.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Way too early.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

So I. Casey Keller. Was he the backup goalie?

[Big T]

No.

[Mike]

Brad Friedel.

[Big T]

Yes.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Big T]

How have you not gotten this guy?

[Mike]

See, John Hart.

[Big T]

I mean, I could give you. It would give it away.

[Mike]

Alexi Lawless. Marcel Balboa.

[Big T]

This. This name is still involved in U.S. soccer.

[Mike]

Burhalter.

[Big T]

Come on, man. No. Claudio Ray.

[Mike]

Oh, Claudia Reyna. Okay.

[Big T]

And there's one more.

[Mike]

I feel like he must have been really, really young on that team because, like, 2002, that was that was his best World Cup.

[Big T]

I think there's one more you should definitely get. He was born in 1973, so he was 21.

[Mike]

He was 21 at the time. And then I'm just trying to think of other guys that we had in 2002 because that's the team that I really liked. This is way too early for Donovan.

[Big T]

Think of your name.

[Mike]

Oh, Eric Winala.

[Big T]

Yes.

[Mike]

Yeah. Okay. Eric Wilda. I think. I think that's about it.

[Big T]

Pft.

[Mike]

That's about as far as this one goes.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Who did I miss?

[Big T]

Hugo Perez.

[Mike]

Okay. Don't remember him.

[Big T]

Jurgen Sommer.

[Mike]

Don't remember him.

[Big T]

Mike Sorber.

[Mike]

Don't remember him.

[Big T]

Ernie Stewart.

[Mike]

I should have gotten him. Should have gotten earned.

[Big T]

Paul Caliggieri.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Big T]

Fernando Clavijo. Frank Clopas. Mike Lapper. I haven't heard of any of these guys.

[Mike]

Okay. Yeah, I think the only one, Ernie Stewart, probably could have got that one. But yeah, you might be right. Big T. I don't know that. That cities are like, prepared for it because you're going to have some wild. Some wild, wild visitors. Or maybe everyone's going to be afraid to, like, act up over here.

[Chaps]

You know who my favorite soccer player was to watch just because of his hair?

[Big T]

What year that.

[Chaps]

Probably the same time period. That fellow that played for Colombia that had like the huge hair.

[Mike]

Valderrama.

[Chaps]

Yeah, I love that.

[Mike]

Carlos Valderrama.

[Chaps]

Yeah. Just a legend.

[Mike]

A lion's mane.

[Chaps]

Yeah, he did.

[Mike]

He was one of. One of Escobar's favorite guys, I think.

[Chaps]

Oh, we don't say Escobar. Did you know what? That Colombians hate it when people talk

[Mike]

about him because that's all. That's like the first thing that somebody brings up.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

When you're like, I'm from Colombia, like,

[Chaps]

I do those every country videos and went through in Colombia and I mentioned that I was gonna go and so many people were like, your video will go really viral and we'll all share it if you don't mention Pablo Escobar once. Like, don't even allude to challenge.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

So I'm gonna do it.

[Mike]

Yeah, you can. You can definitely do it. I just know that with. With that guy, Walter Rama, he was actually like, they were boys.

[Chaps]

I think I might get a jersey of his to wear. That'd be a good idea.

[Mike]

That'd be a really good idea. He's a beast.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Also their. Their goalie that they had back then. I think his name was like Iguain and he was this dude with A Jerry Curl mullet. It was like a greasy, curly mullet. And this dude was insane. There's a video. Look up Colombian goalkeeper. Scorpion save.

[Chaps]

Oh, I do remember.

[Mike]

Have you seen that? Yes.

[Chaps]

Insanity. He did that is back like in a game. Yeah.

[Mike]

Just a crazy dude pops it up

[Chaps]

like, so high, too. Yeah, yeah, I remember that. Also, fast growing trees. They got BlackBerry bushes.

[Mike]

Let's go.

[Chaps]

I love a good BlackBerry bush.

[Mike]

That. That would be an interesting video series. Is like, ask people from as many countries as possible. Like, what is the one thing that you hate when people bring up about your country? Yeah. Right.

[Chaps]

Well, y'.

[Voicemail Caller]

All.

[Chaps]

Maybe I'll do men on the street in Colombia for that.

[Mike]

Yeah. If it was. Let's see Some, like, other country. New Zealand. They're probably, like, sick of the Hobbit.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

In Lord of the Rings.

[Chaps]

Yep. What else would be up there?

[Mike]

What would Australia say? Crocodile Dundee. Vg Moi.

[Chaps]

Gotta be Crocodile. They got real pissed at our Instagram because we said that Australian guys don't eat.

[Mike]

And they're like, mike, that's a bunch of we.

[Chaps]

It's called down under, mate. Like, we go down.

[Mike]

Wait, we call it the Clam Down Under. Right.

[Chaps]

This bloke's never been to Australia, obviously. Boy, his.

[Mike]

I'll eat your. Before you step off the ship. All right. We got another voicemail.

[Voicemail Caller]

Yeah, I know a lot of y' all been, like, traveling. Yeah. Like, you know each one of y'.

[Mike]

All.

[Voicemail Caller]

Y' all don't travel the world a lot. Been a lot of different places. Y' all eat. Give me your top three accents. The best three accents that you heard. And also, which accent would you prefer your significant other to have? For me, it's something about, like, hearing a woman from, like, New Orleans. It just does something to me. So, yeah, that's my question for y'. All. Stay handsome. Stay beautiful. Shout out my favorite white boy. Big T. Pft. Big cat. All love.

[Mike]

All right.

[Big T]

Shout out to you as well, brother.

[Mike]

Shout out. It's a good question. I'm gonna go New Zealand.

[Big T]

Really?

[Mike]

Yeah. I love the New Zealand accent.

[Chaps]

Yeah, New Zealand's good.

[Big T]

Not my favorite to hear Ireland.

[Mike]

It's a good accent. Always sounds.

[Chaps]

I don't know. I don't like it when they tink.

[Mike]

What do you mean?

[Chaps]

When they.

[Mike]

They take it over.

[Chaps]

I think in it like Maura Higgins.

[Mike]

I'm thinking.

[Chaps]

Yes, exactly. That's who. That's exactly who I was thinking of.

[Mike]

1, 2, 3.

[Chaps]

Yeah. I take it was a bad thing.

[Voicemail Caller]

I.

[Chaps]

Mine would probably be for, like, a Soft feminine voice. French. Like, I. When I've been flying lately, I downloaded a playlist on Spotify. That's Soft French Cafe. That's kind of like Feast or Feist. What was that band?

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chaps]

Like, I love that. Super soft French. I feel like that's a really nice accent.

[Mike]

I think French is a great singing accent, too. It is, right?

[Chaps]

Yeah. I actually think the Icelandic accent is kind of nice.

[Mike]

I don't know that I could pick that one out.

[Chaps]

Like, Bjork.

[Mike]

Okay. I don't. I still don't know if I could under. Like, if I could pick out the Icelandic. Is that, like the. Is it almost Scandinavian, Like.

[Chaps]

Yeah, it is that thing. Yeah. Yep. And then I also really like the. Just the posh British accent.

[Mike]

Yeah, the posh. I don't know. The posh one's too fancy for me.

[Chaps]

I would love to be fancy.

[Mike]

Yeah. That's why I like the Irish accent. It's, like, British, but down to earth.

[Chaps]

And kind of New Zealand, too.

[Mike]

Kind of New Zealand, yeah. What about you, Big T? Also Honorable Mention Baltimore.

[Chaps]

Hard to beat a nice Southern bell, like, from Savannah, right? Like that. Like a soft, real welcoming Southern bell accent.

[Big T]

And you know about the. The British accent, right?

[Chaps]

Yeah, that's from the South. No, the Southern accent is from.

[Big T]

Correct. That's what British people used to sound like, and then they changed it because they hated us.

[Chaps]

Well, I don't know if that's true.

[Big T]

That is true.

[Chaps]

Like, the way that British people.

[Big T]

The way British people talk did not exist until the 1700s. They used to sound like people from Savannah, and they concocted that accent to differentiate themselves from Americans.

[Chaps]

I'll have to look at that. I think that might be fake.

[Big T]

It's true.

[Mike]

I got a hankering for some fish,

[Chaps]

and there's nothing I like doing more than a little lexiconology.

[Big T]

Like. Like a deep Savannah. Like Savannah. Like, that's what they used to sound like.

[Chaps]

Like Foghorn. Like, kind of.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

Joe Kennedy.

[Big T]

And then they changed it.

[Mike]

I wreck it, I reckon. My nephew's a pedophile.

[Chaps]

That guy talking the way he does, it's like, dude, you got your law degree from Oxford. Stop it. Yeah, that's not the way you speak, Prince Andrew.

[Mike]

You get your behind back in this house. Don't make me call you mother now, Foghorn Leghorn. Yeah, I'll call your mama now. You hear me, chaps? Is there a difference between east coast Florida or And west coast Florida?

[Chaps]

Like Pensacola vs Jacksonville?

[Mike]

With the accent.

[Big T]

Yeah, definitely north and south, too.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah. What are the biggest differences?

[Chaps]

The. It's not as, like, Alabama. I feel like their accent, which is basically like the panhandle of Florida. It's every word where I feel like in the Jacksonville area, it's tossed in. Every now and then. You'll catch it like it's thick in the whole way through. On the west coast of Florida.

[Mike]

Okay. Yeah.

[Chaps]

Like the west coast of Florida, the Pan, Tallahassee and west is essentially Alabama and like, Georgia, Mississippi, it's the same.

[Mike]

Jacksonville feels like a, just like a dusting of an accent.

[Chaps]

Yes. On it.

[Mike]

Yeah. And then no accident in Miami.

[Voicemail Caller]

Really.

[Mike]

Right.

[Chaps]

No. Like, I, I, I don't feel I. Different states, like, below Orlando is a different state than north Orlando. And then you can also carve out the Gulf region. Florida is really like three or four different regions.

[Mike]

I think I could tell the difference

[Chaps]

between the Flamenican Republic or Florida. Rico.

[Mike]

Yeah, I think I could tell the difference between East Tennessee and West Tennessee. Could you?

[Big T]

Oh, yeah. I mean, East Tennessee is. Oh, yeah, very different. Middle Tennessee, too, is different from East Tennessee.

[Chaps]

Memphis, crazy different.

[Big T]

Yeah, that was the caller from Memphis. Memphis, you know, that's why the Tennessee flag is the three stars, the three grand divisions.

[Mike]

So what besides Knoxville is in East Tennessee.

[Big T]

Bristol, Johnson City. Bristol.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Kingsport City.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah. Shout out. Shout out to the caller. Sorry about LeBron.

[Big T]

A lot of Memphis discourse.

[Mike]

It felt a little unnecessary of long LeBron to say that. That's like LeBron is just getting into the, the golf content.

[Big T]

I think that was planned.

[Chaps]

I didn't see what he said.

[Mike]

All right, well, yeah, we can. Let's talk about big T. So LeBron went, and he's been, you know, getting into golf recently. He's been watching a lot of YouTube golf, and he saw a lot of content from our good friends at Bob Does Sports. Shout out, Bobby Burger, Fat Perez, the whole crew. Joey Cole, cuts, great guys.

[Chaps]

Not so Fat Perez, though.

[Mike]

Not so fat. Actually, really dashing.

[Chaps]

Appropriate size Perez.

[Mike]

Dashingly handsome, Fit Perez.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And LeBron liked their content, so he's like, let's do a video. That's got to be one of the best calls that you can ever get if you're Bob Does Sports. It's like, hey, this is LeBron. I would like to do a video with you guys.

[Chaps]

Yeah, sure.

[Mike]

Yeah, we got you, LeBron. So they get him out on the golf course, and he's just chopping it up, and he starts to talk about Memphis and he. I forget how it got brought up, but he basically said, like, I hate Memphis. I never want to go there. Take the Grizzlies away and give them Nashville. Yeah, move. Move the Grizzlies to Nashville. And people from Memphis, understandably, did not care for that at all from LeBron. So.

[Chaps]

Big T. But it's also a reasonable take.

[Mike]

It could be. Memphis has some nice things about it.

[Big T]

Apparently, all the players hate the hotel they stay in in Memphis.

[Mike]

They should be staying in the Bass Pro Shop Pyramid.

[Big T]

Right.

[Mike]

Which is a beautiful hotel that I've stayed in with Billy Football. And it's wonderful and I like it, but I've not. Yeah, that's. That's really what I like about Memphis is that one building. But what were you. What were you going to say, Big T, that you think this was intentional?

[Big T]

I think there might be a coordinated effort on some people's part to try to facilitate some sort of change with the location of that team.

[Mike]

And where do you think that team's going to end up?

[Big T]

I don't know that they have any plans of moving. I just think there are a lot of people who would like it, too.

[Mike]

And so you think that this was. The hit got put out on Memphis.

[Big T]

And I think it was a very. LeBron made sure to bring that up in a manner that he didn't have

[Mike]

to, because I think LeBron is trying to own a team. Could be entirely possible after he's done playing. And so I don't know if that would be an expansion team.

[Chaps]

Yeah, definitely kill on your team.

[Mike]

I think he wants the Vegas team. That's what I think.

[Big T]

I. Have you seen the proposed names for that team? I don't know if that was official or just like a. They were horrific.

[Mike]

Hang on now. I. It's going to be. It's going to take some really terrible names for me to look at something and say, these are horrific.

[Big T]

They were bad.

[Mike]

Okay. I've seen them all. Let's see. Proposed Vegas NBA names. The Mirage.

[Big T]

Trash.

[Mike]

That's horrible. The Jokers.

[Big T]

Worse.

[Mike]

The Outlaws.

[Big T]

Not as bad as the other two, but bad.

[Mike]

The Scorpions.

[Big T]

Awful.

[Mike]

Venom.

[Big T]

The worst one out of all of them.

[Mike]

Vegas. Venom. You don't like it.

[Big T]

Horrific.

[Mike]

So that's Venom and Mirage. Those are the two favorites right now. And the Jokers. I kind of. You can't do the Jokers if, like, the closest team to where your team is based has a player whose nickname is Joker. Yeah, you can't do that. I. I kind of like Scorpions.

[Big T]

It just feels like with all these

[Chaps]

new teams, like a kindergartner name and

[Big T]

I know, I know the main ones are taken at this point, but, like, it feels like we are really regressing in naming teams.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Like the mammoth. Okay.

[Chaps]

The Kraken was good.

[Big T]

Kraken was. Was pretty good.

[Chaps]

That's probably the best naming that's happened in a while.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

Nashville couldn't figure out which one they want, what apex predator they want, so they just picked all of them. Like we're just gonna be the predators.

[Mike]

Yeah. Yeah. How did Nashville come to that? They're. They're the Saber Tooth Tigers.

[Big T]

There was a. Now, fact check this, because this I'm not entirely 100 on.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Big T]

They found a saber tooth tiger like bone when they were excavating the site for the arena.

[Mike]

Yeah, I think I remember.

[Big T]

So they were like, this is going to be the team now. Which.

[Chaps]

I like that. Then go with saber tooth Tiger. Don't go with predator.

[Big T]

But how do you. The saber teeth.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Like what do you.

[Chaps]

The teeth. Yeah.

[Mike]

Oh. Congratulations to the Buffalo Sabres. Mackenzie.

[Big T]

The longest playoff drought in sports.

[Guest]

Yeah. Now it's the jets, right?

[Mike]

Yeah. Do you consider yourself a Buffalo Sabres fan? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just good to not be the longest.

[Chaps]

Yes.

[Mike]

Tough, Tough day to wake up as a Jets fan, though. More so than usual.

[Big T]

Pretz. Have a massive game tonight. They could sneak into the playoffs.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Big T]

Yeah. Good for you. Is that story correct?

[Mike]

It looks like they. There have been sabertooth tiger bones that have been unearthed around Nashville during the construction of the UBS Tower. So I. I think that's kind of what they named him after.

[Big T]

Okay. I thought it had something to do with when they were building the arena, but I could be fuzzy on that.

[Mike]

So they were discovered at a site near the Bridgestone arena, which could just mean anywhere downtown as they're doing construction.

[Voicemail Caller]

But.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Which is fine enough.

[Mike]

Yeah. They're doing a local tie. I also, I do like the Kraken. I think the Kraken is a good name. I don't mind the mammoth. It's not bad.

[Big T]

Okay. Yeah. So the. Before the Nashville Predators received their official name, they had a logo. A saber toothed tiger modeled after a fang and four leg bone of the extinct animal found in the summer of 1971 at the construction site of the current UBS tower on Diedrich Street.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Big T]

In downtown Nashville. So it was a while before, but that was the impetus of it.

[Mike]

Okay. You know what? I. I actually don't mind the Pelicans either.

[Chaps]

I like the Pelicans.

[Mike]

It's a unique name and it fits the area yeah. And also pelicans are.

[Chaps]

And it doesn't have to be some. Like the mistake that the pelicans made is that they made it be like, I'm a tough pelican. Like on their logo I have a cartoon pelican.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Or remember their original mascot? Scared kids. They had to change them.

[Chaps]

Right. Like just get like a regular ass pelican.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

And you're good. The same thing. The suns, they should have never went away from just the silly little gorilla.

[Mike]

I, I think that pelicans are an underrated, terrifying bird when you see it in nature.

[Chaps]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

Like they're dinosaurs. They will eat. I've seen pelicans will eat like baby birds that are just walking down the street.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

A pelican will roll up to the baby birds and just eat them whole.

[Chaps]

I'm glad you're finally saying something.

[Mike]

Yeah. Pelicans. I, I like, I like the mascot, the pelican. I like the mammoth. I like the Kraken. I don't know if I like any of these teams.

[Chaps]

What's that little.

[Mike]

The Venom. I don't know.

[Big T]

Trash.

[Mike]

Las Vegas Mirage sounds kind of good, but it's also probably. It's the name of a hotel. But Las Vegas Mirage is kind of like that to me. Seems like the most natural.

[Big T]

I think that team name needs to be something less on the nose.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Oh, where the jokers. Where the. We get it. There's casinos there.

[Chaps]

I don't feel like you can go anything like heat related too because you're dealing with the Phoenix Suns right there.

[Mike]

Yeah. Nothing's hotter than the Suns.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

What about the brothels?

[Chaps]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind that.

[Mike]

The Vegas strippers. That would rock.

[Big T]

Yeah, I think they'll shut that down real quick. Magic City night.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

Honestly, they should do a trade with Washington and become the Wizards because there's way more magic in Vegas. And then have the. Have Washington bring back the Bullets.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I've been saying that we should bring back the Bullets for a long time.

[Chaps]

The Bullets is a cool name.

[Mike]

I think enough time has passed. The murder rate has dipped quite a bit over the last 30 years.

[Chaps]

Forgot about arenas they might have forgot.

[Mike]

Well, that set the cause of. Because there were a lot of us in the D.C. sports fan community in the. The mid to. Yeah, I'd say the mid 2000s that were actively trying to get the name Bullets back. And they were doing more like throwback nights. And it seemed like maybe it was a possibility. And then when your two best players bring guns into the locker room and threaten to shoot each other. Yeah, that sets that. Set the cause back another 30 years, probably. If that hadn't happened, we might. We might still be. We might have the Washington wizard or the Washington Bullets back. Instead, we got the Washington Wizards. And it's the. I think the worst name in all the sports. Even worse. I think it's worse than the Commanders.

[Chaps]

I don't. I don't hate the Commanders just based on where it is. I feel like it fits the city.

[Mike]

If they. If they get back to winning, nobody will care about the name. The name sounds a lot better when it's a winning team.

[Chaps]

There's nary a Jaguar anywhere around Jacksonville that I'm aware of.

[Big T]

It's alliterative.

[Mike]

Yeah, it is. It is.

[Chaps]

I do love a good alliteration. I'm sure there probably was they, like, back at some point. Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah. All right, we got another voicemail. Let's rip one more.

[Voicemail Caller]

Yo, what up, guys? It's Dustin from Birmingham, currently up in Milwaukee for work. I want to know, Big T, specifically, what are your thoughts on adults? Like, specifically adult men bringing baseball gloves to a Major league baseball game. Currently up at the Milwaukee brewers game, playing the Tampa Bay Rays. Shellacking them. Shout out. Arian. Just want to know what you guys think. Stay handsome. Stay beautiful. Love you guys.

[Big T]

Yeah. You can't do it.

[Chaps]

I don't.

[Mike]

Can't do it.

[Big T]

I don't think so, because. So if you're bringing it just to try to catch a foul ball, the odds of that are infinitesimal to begin with. And then, like, what, you're going to wear it the whole game as you're sitting there? Like, so that I don't find that to be a valid excuse. The only other reason you'd bring it would be if you're going to batting practice, which is something I did enjoy very much as, like, a teenager and young adult. But you just. Then you're dealing with, like, oh, what, you're going to catch a ball in batting practice? And then there's kids. And, like, you don't give it to the kid.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Big T]

And it just creates a bad situation for you. So there's no real good reason to do it.

[Mike]

I think you can do it if you. If you're bringing a kid to the game, because then you might.

[Big T]

Does.

[Mike]

You might get a ball for the kid.

[Big T]

That does change things.

[Chaps]

I think you could do it if

[Mike]

you're bringing whimsy just for fun.

[Chaps]

Yeah. Like, I feel like we shit on people too much for just having A good time.

[Big T]

I agree with that. For the most part.

[Chaps]

You're going to. You're going. Maybe not if you're going to the World Series, but if you're going to a White Sox game currently and you're paying $8, you're going for the love of the game.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

Put on your glove, bubba. Get after it.

[Mike]

Jim Harbaugh still brings his glove to

[Chaps]

every game he goes to because he's about whimsy.

[Mike]

He really. Well, I think he's just about competing. Yeah. I think he. To him, it's like a challenge. Every game that he goes to.

[Big T]

Like. But that's the thing. He would box out a kid.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Big T]

And. And then you open yourself up to criticism.

[Mike]

But then that would. But he wouldn't care about the criticism because he would know that he was teaching that kid a valuable lesson.

[Chaps]

Get your weight up.

[Mike]

Yeah. Get your weight up. And you need to learn how to maintain a low center balance and fight through. Fight through the block.

[Big T]

I don't like. I would not look at someone. I don't have a problem with it. I just think you're opening yourself up to unnecessary.

[Chaps]

Now, if you bring a glove and you miss the catch. Ridiculed for life.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Chaps]

You better. You better look like a young David Justice.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

There.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Chaps]

If you bring a glove.

[Mike]

Yeah. You got to make that grab anything near you.

[Chaps]

I'd even say Andrew Jones if you were.

[Mike]

If you had a glove and nobody else in your vicinity had a glove and somebody else bare hands it while you go for it with a glove, that is the worst moment of your life.

[Chaps]

That should be the same exact rules as if you don't hit it past the ladies. Tees in golf. You got to do the next couple pitches with your pants around your ankles.

[Mike]

Yeah. Just watch the rest of the game for your pants off.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah. All right. Well, thank you to chaps. Appreciate you joining us today, chaps.

[Chaps]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And we will see you around. What do you want to plug today?

[Chaps]

New episode of Drop a Pin Dropped, I guess yesterday. If it comes out Wednesday or Tuesday, right? Tuesday.

[Mike]

Tuesday. Yep.

[Chaps]

Yeah. A new episode with Rome came out. It was good. He talked about Ethiopia and he got draw guns drawn on him.

[Mike]

He went to a wedding over there, right? Yeah, yeah.

[Chaps]

Got weapons drawn on him. It was pretty intense. Ate some raw cow, had some insane diarrhea. Good stories.

[Mike]

Love it. Do you have any. Any trivia questions? Not going to be here tomorrow morning.

[Chaps]

Let's see.

[Voicemail Caller]

Well.

[Chaps]

Oh, I do have one. Let me see. I'll ask you what tomorrow's is no cheating.

[Mike]

No cheating.

[Chaps]

I did text myself a question. Oh, what's the biggest country without an airport?

[Mike]

Oh, biggest country, no airport. The answers to these are always like Vatican City. But I'm sure the Vatican does have.

[Big T]

It's going to be a tiny Vatican.

[Mike]

City has to have an airport.

[Big T]

I was going to say Lichtenstein.

[Chaps]

Nope, not Liechtenstein, but you're on the right track.

[Big T]

Luxembourg.

[Mike]

Luxembourg.

[Big T]

I knew it was one of those.

[Mike]

Luxembourg doesn't have one. That's crazy.

[Chaps]

There's Luxembourg flag.

[Mike]

Very visually, like, pleasing. Yeah, very. Very aesthetic.

[Chaps]

There's a private airport that services Luxembourg, but no public.

[Mike]

All right, well, we will see you guys on Thursday. Love you guys.

[Voicemail Caller]

Goodbye, Sam.
