3. Trump Deletes “God” Post – The Viral Controversy

Timestamps: 25:50–32:56

• Background: Trump briefly posts (then deletes) an image showing himself as Jesus laying hands on the sick—oil painting/fanart style. [25:52–26:17]
• Reactions:
  • PFT Commenter defends Trump, noting he posted similar “Pope” fanart last year and that this is neither new nor unique among his supporters.
  • “Why is this over the line?”—asks PFT, pointing out Facebook is full of such images from Trump fans. [26:30–27:16]
  • Quote (Arian): “This one holds a mirror to Christians who support it [Trump]…It’s blasphemy. …I think this one kind of woke some of them up.” [30:22]
  • Quote (Big T): “I don’t think most Christians on the right, like, associate Trump with being a Christian. …He said 2 Corinthians.” [31:23]
  • Mad Dog notes even Riley Gaines was mad—"you can't lose gains”—meaning Trump’s lost core supporters over this one. [28:53]
  • In typical Macrodosing fashion, they debate whether the post is a big deal or just background noise at this point given the “desensitization” to Trump antics. [32:04]

Trump’s Defense:

  • Quote (Trump via Big T): “I thought it was me as a doctor … making people better.” [58:25–58:46]

---

4. Political Philosophy, Evangelicalism, & Social Media Virality

Timestamps: 14:03–24:23

Timestamps: 55:58–61:20

  • PFT, deadpan: “It’s the old tweet of my T shirt saying I’m not involved in human trafficking…” [57:45]
  • Trump (allegedly) didn’t know she would go public, adding further suspicion.
  • Insight: Possible catalyst is the fallout from Paolo Zampoli (Epstein-linked, helped Melania immigrate) allegedly having dirt about Melania, with his ex preparing a “tell all.” [59:56]
  • Mad Dog: “I believe Amanda Ungaro is releasing...some sort of tell-all.” [60:06]

Timestamps: 43:55–47:29; 62:06–78:21

Trust no one and accuse everyone and who's the bad guy? The official barstool sports social deduction game. From the brilliant mind of Nick to Rainey, in what's quickly becoming the most popular new party game around, players are secretly assigned unique roles with the good guys trying to expose the bad guys and the bad guys doing everything they can to stay stay hidden. Each game unfolds under alternating day and night phases with roles like the cool chick, the shy guy, the gambler, el presidente, the mentalist, the planner, the funny guy, and more. Every round is unpredictable, chaotic and ridiculously fun. Who's the bad guy? Is great for parties, pre games, family gatherings or groups who just love deception based games. Game night will never be the same. Shop now on Walmart.com yeah, and as

[Aryan]

they went on and it was just like is what it is. My dad. My dad came up to me and said, well son, there's always the Canadian league. I said, what gonna get though?

[Host]

He's trying to be supportive.

[Big T]

You might have been a top five pick in the cfl.

[Aryan]

Oh, I'd have killed it out there. Yeah.

[Host]

Welcome back to Nano Dosing. It is Tuesday. It's April14. Get your taxes in for tomorrow. Today's episode is brought to you by Magnolia Pictures and the new movie Normal 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 a 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 of dark secrets exposed and Ulysses discovers that the town of Normal is anything but. Directed by Ben Wheatley, starring Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Headey. See it only in theaters April 17th. It is normal. Bob Odenkirk, the man, one of our. Our greatest actors. Respite by the respite. Respite. Respite. A good respite. We were taking a respite from our weekend break. Is that a correct way to say it?

[Big T]

You're taking a break from your break.

[Host]

Break from a break.

[Big T]

Yeah, I mean it. It is kind of.

[Host]

We're back. We're back. It is Nano Dosing. Myself, Aryan, Big T, Mad Dog, McKenzie, all here today. The masters is over. Congrats, I guess to Rory. Kind of an Underwhelming Masters tournament. I was hoping for a little bit more drama. I can see Aryan disagrees with me. I think it was a, I think it was a very underwhelming Masters tournament. I mean, listen, congrats to our guy, Jake Knapp. Right? Right. Arian. Great finish by our guy. All the napsters out there.

[Aryan]

Yeah. Super happy for him. He got his ticket punched in next year's tournament as well, so.

[Host]

Yeah. And Max Home will play.

[Aryan]

I will be betting on him again.

[Host]

I will too. But you, you don't think it was underwhelming?

[Aryan]

Nah, I was, it was, it was a star studded thing at the beginning. Roy came out firing on all cylinders. The field came back and caught up to him and it was a back and forth through the whole day. How was it under. Underwhelming.

[Host]

We didn't get that much drama at the end. I mean, Rory looked like he might choke a couple times, but he won by two strokes.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

One stroke.

[Host]

He went by one stroke. One stroke. I'm sorry. Yeah, he got that bogey on the last hole and he saved when he was in the trees. It looked like there might be an incident of a double. I don't know. I thought that the last round was, was somewhat underwhelming. Maybe it's mostly the result of it that I, I wasn't a huge fan of.

[Aryan]

You don't like, you don't like Rory?

[Host]

Not, not particularly. I, I would like to see some more drama with it though. I'm glad that Rory won last year, but I don't need to see Rory winning all the time now because I want my guys to win. I want, I want the, the Max Homers of the world to win. I want the Jake Knaps of the world to win. I really would have liked to see Justin Rose win. I feel bad for that guy.

[Aryan]

That have been dope. Yeah, Yeah, I know. I just, I just like good golf. Good golf. It was, it was good golf all across the board. It was a tough course. I like to see when pros struggle and they were, they were struggling. All those greens at first, especially Thursday and Friday, really firm and so it was fun. It's fun watching that.

[Host]

Aaron, did you watch any baseball over the weekend?

[Aryan]

I've watched no baseball this season.

[Big T]

I'm worried.

[Host]

It's interesting.

[Big T]

I'm worried that we're losing it for you.

[Aryan]

Baseball. Yeah. No, no, no. I, I, I'm just giving myself still a little bit of break. I'm, I'm going, I'm going to lock back in soon. It's just. I cut. Last season was too much. I watched almost every game of the entire season.

[Big T]

That's awesome.

[Aryan]

I can't do that. Yeah, No, I can't do. I can't do that this year.

[Big T]

How many a week? What's ideal?

[Aryan]

Three, I think if I watch two or three. If I watch two or three a week, I'll be fine.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Host]

Did you happen to find out what happened over the weekend to your Brewers?

[Aryan]

I have not. What happened?

[Host]

Get the brooms out. Got swept by the Gnats.

[Aryan]

Oh, yeah, I did see they was playing the Nats. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't catch anything.

[Host]

I should have asked you to bet some push ups on that series, but I forgot to.

[Aryan]

We should have. We should have did.

[Host]

I think there might be 20 push ups left.

[Big T]

That's insane. There's got to be. It's got to be capped at a year.

[Aryan]

No.

[Big T]

Although I guess we're still within a year.

[Host]

We're still within 20 years from now.

[Aryan]

I could hit him up for five if I want to be my push ups.

[Host]

Yep. I could be. Yeah, I could be 75 years old and get a call from Arian. I got a drop. I got 100%.

[Aryan]

Real quick, I told this y' all on a group chat, but I totally forgot last week, the Artemis mission. The Artemis mission. So I didn't even know we was. We were sending somebody up. I just kind of been disconnected for a minute and I got an email from NASA that says the pilot, Victor Glover, put me on his list to communicate with him up there while they traversing the stars. And I was like, it's spam. What the fuck is this? And so I looked up like, oh, shit. I didn't know we were sending things up. And so Victor Glover was on my podcast. I think I had. It was like 2018. Yeah, I had went to NASA, interviewed him at NASA, had a really dope conversation and we always kept in touch since then. And I remember him a couple years back saying, hey, I'm put you on a list. I. I just didn't think nothing of it. And then I get an email from NASA. That's how I found out we had a mission was I got an email from NASA. So that was pretty dope. And so I. I emailed him while he's up there and I guess it's pretty hard for them to communicate. He hit me back and that was. That was cool. He said he wants to play golf and so shout out to them the whole Crew shout out to NASA. That was a really dope moment for the human species.

[Host]

That's very cool. Would he. Do you think he'd want to come on the show?

[Aryan]

Oh, yeah, he would in Heartbeat.

[Host]

Yeah, I like to talk to him about it. I saw the video of them on re entry. That was crazy. As the. As the craft, like, goes through the atmosphere and it's what, like 5,000 degrees outside the. The capsule that they're in, and the heat shield is like an inch thick, and that's all that's separating them from 5000°. And inside it's like 72° wild. Absolutely insane. Yeah.

[Aryan]

Thoughts have been fun watching Flat Earthers scramble.

[Host]

It's been a tough week for the flat Earthers. Yeah, yeah. But on the other hand, I also think that it's given them, like, a lot of new source material to work with. Like, they're getting a bunch of new pictures that they can look at and make up stories about. And like, a bunch of, like, brand new lore is dropping for them too.

[Big T]

Do Flat Earthers believe the moon is round or is it also flat?

[Host]

Some people, I think, believe it's a projection.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Host]

Some people, I think, believe that it's round. Some people believe that it's flat. There's like all these different schisms where think of it like religions. Yeah, yeah.

[Aryan]

There's a bunch of different sects and they all believe in different versions of the same thing and they can't agree on what is the truth.

[Big T]

I googled Flat Moon Theory. Flat Moon Theory is an acoustic folk bluegrass band based in Tallahassee, Florida.

[Aryan]

That sounds fine.

[Big T]

That's actually a solid band name.

[Aryan]

I like that name.

[Big T]

310 followers on YouTube. So go give those guys a listen.

[Host]

It's a great name.

[Big T]

Solid Heart in a Cage seems to be their most popular song. Oh, that might be a cover. All right, never mind.

[Host]

It is pretty cool, though, that we're going back to the moon. We're planning a different spot to land on. We're going to send a manned mission back, like, to the surface of the moon.

[Big T]

We're going again.

[Host]

Yeah. Well, I think the purpose really of this trip, among other things, was to. To orbit the moon and pick out new landing spots and, like, where we might be able to set up for a. A longer visit, I think. Okay, so, yeah, we're going back. When are we going to Mars?

[Big T]

We got robots.

[Aryan]

I don't think we'll be alive for that one.

[Host]

You don't think so?

[Big T]

Oh, I think.

[Aryan]

I don't think they Solved the, the radiation issue yet? Have they exposed to radiation that long? I, I could be wrong about that, but to my knowledge, if my memory serves me correctly, I think, I think, I don't think we've, we've solved that.

[Big T]

Maybe that according to NASA's long term goals, the late2030s or early2040s, they want to go to Mars.

[Host]

Okay, we can do that.

[Big T]

So with the bureaucracy, let's call it 2050.

[Host]

Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna be old as. But we can do that.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Host]

All right. We got a lot to get into today. A lot happened over the weekend. Besides the Masters Golf Tournament, besides the Nationals sweeping the brewers decisively on the road in Milwaukee, I might add.

[Big T]

Are y' all in, Y' all are in third place.

[Host]

I think we're in fourth place. Oh, I think we're.

[Big T]

I, I lose track. Yeah, those down there.

[Host]

I do too. Like, especially this time of year, all the teams are kind of together.

[Big T]

That's the thing about like the Braves are like in first and then all together a little bit.

[Host]

You guys are, you have like a two game lead.

[Big T]

A two game lead in 16 games is a lot.

[Host]

Yeah, I'm just saying it's a two game lead. Everybody else is bunched up around like eight and seven. Seven and eight. Yeah, I think we're, yeah, it's, it's, it's early.

[Aryan]

We're, we're bottom second to last in front of the Cub still, but we're 8 and 7 the lead. The, the leading Pittsburgh Pirates are at 9 and 6. You know, it's just that early, you know.

[Host]

Hey, congrats to Pittsburgh. Congrats to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

[Big T]

Fun team.

[Host]

They are lead, leading the division. They're a fun team. They just signed a, A, a young prospect to an incredible extension. They, they're spending money. Don't look up and see what's happening with the CBA next year in baseball. But it's actually, if you are a fan of a team and there's, there's a player that you would like to sign and, and give an extension to, you should be hoping that you get it done this year. Because if you get it done this year, you getting kind of a discount baked into the contract because after the new CBA gets signed, if we even have a season next year, whatever the next CBA is going to be, is going to be definitely more friendly to the players. They're going to get paid more money. So if you lock up your guy right now, you can kind of get it at a discount. Before that, cba.

[Big T]

Arian, are you aware of who Connor Griffin is? Connor Griffin, the kid we're talking about. This is going to make you wish you played baseball. He is 19 and he just made his debut. This is his first season and he signed. Is it nine years, 140 million before he ever played a game?

[Aryan]

Yeah, man picked the wrong sport.

[Big T]

And then he'll be 28. So then he'll sign another nine or 10 years. I mean, if what they think he's going to be, that'll be a 600 million dollar contract.

[Host]

Yeah. Pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. And shout out to the Pirates for doing it. It's. Nobody thought that nutting would have done it and nutting did it. Happy nutting day to everybody who celebrates. It's good to see the Pirates doing some damage. At least being competitive. Did you know that the Pirates have never won their division?

[Big T]

They've only made it as a wild card.

[Host]

Well, no, I mean like the Pirates have never won the division that they're in right now.

[Big T]

Oh, so N.L. east.

[Host]

Yes. Yes. Got it. But they've never won the. The Central. Pretty crazy, right?

[Big T]

When did that. Was that like 90s?

[Host]

When did they. I don't know when that realignment happened.

[Big T]

1994 probably.

[Aryan]

When?

[Host]

Yeah, when the. The Rays and the Rockies.

[Big T]

Yeah, that sounds right.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

So they've never won that division. I would like to see it.

[Big T]

They won the NLE's 9 times.

[Host]

Yeah. Congrats to them. Early season baseball is. It's fun, but I think there's a lot of teams out there that actually, you know what? There have been a lot of teams that have overperformed their expectations. Like it can. Is it even too early to say like what teams are the biggest disappointment so far?

[Big T]

I mean, Cubs have had a slow start. The Mets, Mets and Yankees.

[Host]

I'm just going off Frank the Tank's tweets, by the way, when I talk about the Met. Slow start. They might be in. They might be in second place. They might be half game behind the Braves.

[Big T]

I don't know. They and the Yankees, I believe, have both lost five in a row.

[Aryan]

Okay, so he already crashing out?

[Big T]

Oh, yeah.

[Aryan]

Oh no.

[Host]

The Mets are in last place. Okay. Love that.

[Big T]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's early. 10% of the season. Done.

[Host]

That is actually more than I thought it would be. 10% over.

[Big T]

Yes. 16.

[Host]

Damn. All right, well, let's see what else we want to talk about from this weekend. Big T, you went viral.

[Big T]

Yeah, man. I. I don't know. I don't know. What people want. It's fine.

[Host]

You're giving it to them, though.

[Big T]

What do you mean, like, what people want? Oh, yeah, I suppose so. As I've. As I've explained to y', all, I don't get Twitter notifications.

[Host]

Right.

[Big T]

So I just know that people were mad. I don't know what they're mad about. I don't know. That's. That's the extent of my knowledge.

[Host]

Yeah. So I had my buddy the Beef hit me up this weekend, and he was like, is Big T doing all right? I was like, oh, yeah, he's good. He was like, he's going really viral. I was like, let me tell you something about Big T. Big T does not read his Twitter notifications.

[Big T]

Yeah. I had several people text me similar sentiments, and I was like, yeah, I'm fine. I don't, you know.

[Host]

Yeah. And I don't.

[Big T]

I don't pay attention to it.

[Host]

I. I was talking about it, and I. I was telling him that I think what people didn't like about or the reason that clip went viral was because they thought it was because you were struggling to give a re. People were.

[Big T]

The. Was the criticism that I was not enumerating my. My policies. I think people were my problems with Democrats enough, because we could sit. I'll make a list, and we could just sit here all day.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think there's some. It. I think you not saying, like, I am a Republican because of xyz.

[Big T]

Well, we had a. I. I was. I was not trying to be combative with a guest. Y' all have me playing one on five, so I was just kind of trying to move on.

[Aryan]

Pft. Had you.

[Host]

I did have your back. I. I tried to say it's because Democrats are.

[Big T]

Well, that's. Actually, that may have been what spurred it, because what you said was inaccurate. And then I felt the need to correct that.

[Host]

You don't think that Democrats are annoying.

[Big T]

I do, but that's not my. My chief gripe.

[Host]

Okay.

[Big T]

But, yeah, that if. I mean, if that's what people thought, whatever.

[Host]

Yeah, I was. I was trying to help you out by saying that Democrats are annoying, because I do think that that has something

[Aryan]

to do with it.

[Host]

I think if Democrats were. Were like 50% less annoying, like, here's what you mean. Here's what I'll say.

[Aryan]

I was surprised. You're an evangelical Christian. I didn't know that.

[Big T]

I mean, that just means, you know, Protestant, not non Catholic, but they're very.

[Aryan]

Some would say, extremist beliefs.

[Big T]

I think that is you. Your association with that term. That doesn't mean that. No event Evangelos, the Greek word means good news. You are an evangelist is someone who spreads the good news. That is what an evangelical Christian means.

[Aryan]

So how do you different. Like what. What difference differentiates the sex of, of of Christians? Like what's, what's the difference between an evangelical Christian and.

[Big T]

I mean, you could say like a. You could say you're a Baptist. That's a specific denomination.

[Aryan]

But like I'm saying, what sets your subset belief? Like when you identify as an evangelical Christian, what is the difference between a Baptist or a Protestant or a Catholic or whatever?

[Big T]

Baptist is a. Is a part of protest. Protestantism is everything that's not Catholic. There are many different sects below that. And then there's.

[Aryan]

You're telling me what they are. I'm saying what. No, that I believe because of.

[Big T]

Generally, when you say an evangelical Christian, that just means a Protestant who is outward about their faith, who wants other people to come to Jesus. Any. You can associate political ideology with that if you want to, but I, I don't. Extreme. What extremist beliefs do you associate with that?

[Aryan]

I honestly think all religious beliefs are extreme. But I think evangelicals specifically tie a literal sense in the Bible. Like evangelicals believe that The Earth is 6,000 years old. Evangelicals believe in stuff like that. The literal.

[Big T]

I mean, we could get into that if you want to. But yes, I believe in the Bible.

[Aryan]

So you believe the earth is 6,000 years old?

[Big T]

I believe it was created with inbuilt age. Like when God created. When God created. When God created Adam, he did not create a baby. Correct. He was a man. He was created with age. I believe the same could be said of the earth. But that's a. That's a whole nother discussion.

[Host]

I've actually never heard that before.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I haven't either.

[Host]

It's interesting.

[Aryan]

So you believe. You believed in. When God made Adam, he was created with age.

[Big T]

Correct. He was not an infant.

[Aryan]

And so you believe the earth was created with age. Can you expound on that?

[Big T]

Like when the earth was created, the, the oceans were already formed and the, the lands were formed. And you would. If you look at fossils, it would indicate that it's much older than that. But it was. That's because it was created not at zero. Right.

[Aryan]

So do you believe the like, like what I would say the scientific consensus is as a rough estimate of what the age of the earth is.

[Big T]

Yeah, I think when you look at stuff like that, that is the, that's what it would lead you to believe.

[Host]

Yes.

[Aryan]

Oh, Andrew. Yeah, I would. Well, say. I wouldn't categorize that as evangelical like they look at.

[Big T]

Right, right. But you're, you're miss. You're, you're miss. You are applying.

[Aryan]

No, I'm trying to gain understanding. I'm not applying anything. This is my understanding of what evangelicals believe through my experience of them. I don't know every evangelical Christian clearly, and so when I extrapolate the information that they give me, this is usually what they say. And this is the first time I've heard them, like, an evangelical Christian say, no. The age of lyrics is around 4.5.

[Big T]

Again, if you like what I said. Evangelical Christianity is a worldwide, interdenominational Protestant movement emphasizing the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. That's all it means. You believe in the authority of the Bible. That's it. Now, I'm sure there are a lot of people who categorize themselves as evangelical Christians that you don't like, but it's not a, you know.

[Aryan]

No, I don't. If, if you're a Christian and you. I don't like somebody because they're Christian. That's, that was never.

[Big T]

No, I, I'm saying not causation, but correlation.

[Aryan]

Okay. Yeah. No, I, I, I took, I took the viral clip as people. Was, was that. So you're saying you're even evangelical Christian, but saying the Democrat Party can't win you over because of what they stand for, and yet the antithesis of that would be the Republican Party, which right now would be the antithesis of an evangelical belief system.

[Big T]

I think that's why there's plenty of things in the Republican Party I don't like either. I don't know. Like I said, I haven't seen any of it. So if anyone was offended by that, I'm not sorry. But.

[Host]

Yeah, I mean, if somebody asked me what I would. What would have to be done to make me vote Republican, like, on the spot? Probably not the, not the easiest question to answer, but if I were to talk to. Or I'd probably say, like, there's the. I think I even said it when, when Trump was running last time, like universal health care, Medicare for all. If he adopted that policy, I liked

[Big T]

the, I mean, give him another year, he might do it.

[Host]

I like the isolationism, or not complete isolation, but I like the America first message in terms of taking care of people at home, spending that money on our own citizens and, and people who are here in this country as opposed to going on these expeditions in Foreign policy and spending a lot of money overseas and creating a lot more problems for us the future. But the thing is like I didn't believe that he actually meant that when, when he said that he was going to be all about like spending money here in America, like the infrastructure, like we needed infrastructure week. Never really believed that he was going to be investing money here at home. But if that was like more along the platform of what a Republican was. Was vying for, I would be more inclined to hear them out. There's like certain things I think like I, I do not consider myself to like worship any one political party. I think like Aryan, I find myself more looking at like direct policies that they have. And to be honest, like I don't really. I think that we need to go back to our leaders being just like super nerds. Like just dudes that, that are like have the least amount of charisma possible but at least their hearts are in the right place. I think that would be.

[Aryan]

I think we, I think we should ban political merch. This, it creates this fandom around politicians that need not be like, like if you are going to argue, in my opinion, if you're going to argue with people about politics, argue about policies like argue about substance, use it. I don't want to hear about like how many people they slept with the stupid like no gives a cares.

[Host]

What am I going to do with my Lincoln Chaffee flags then? I've got so many of those things.

[Aryan]

The what?

[Host]

My Lincoln Chaffee flags that I bought back in 2015, 2016. He was the governor of Rhode island that was running for president.

[Aryan]

Like I was like, oh, the is

[Host]

yeah, Lincoln Chaffee, he's my goat people for he's been that. That campaign has been lost to the sands of time. I think we need to go back and take a look at it because Lincoln Chaffee, he was pulling out like 5%. Just, just a strange fella. And he was touting himself as being the only guy that, that's running for president that has no scandals. And he was almost daring the press to try to find a scandal during his time in office. And sure enough, because he, he taunted the media so much, they went back at his record and they found that he actually paid for frogs for his office terrarium using taxpayer money inappropriately. And so he got brought down by a massive frog purchasing scandal. So RIP to Lincoln Chaffee. Nobody remembers him, but I do.

[Big T]

He had a snl, did a skit of one of the Democratic debates that he Was featured prominently in.

[Host]

Yep.

[Big T]

I forget that actor.

[Host]

No, I think he's. I think he's still alive. I'm just saying. All right. He said rip RP to his campaign. Like, no one talks about his campaign anymore. I believe he's still alive. Is he still with us?

[Big T]

Yes. 73.

[Host]

Let's go.

[Big T]

He just had a birthday.

[Host]

Yeah. When?

[Big T]

Yeah. You're gonna have to be more specific.

[Aryan]

Let me scroll.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Well, it's gone now.

[Host]

It's gone.

[Big T]

Oh, yeah, it's gone.

[Host]

Our president has deleted a post on x.com the Everything app on Truth Social. There was a. Interesting image. Maybe. Maybe AI generated maybe an oil painting. I'm not sure which one of Trump depicted as Jesus laying his hands upon a sick individual.

[Big T]

There are similar paintings at Seat to Table in Naples, Florida. So it could be a painting?

[Aryan]

Yeah, it could be.

[Big T]

It could be.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So makes it better.

[Host]

All right, here's. I'm. I'm going to take President Trump's side. You ready for this?

[Aryan]

I am.

[Host]

Like, it's. This is how you know I'm. I'm a real one. Mr. Trump, all your friends are abandoning you. They're saying all the worst things just because it feels like it's trendy to do so. This the picture of Trump putting his hands on a sick individual as a Christ figure wearing the robes. It's indistinguishable from so much fan art that I've seen already of Trump. And I don't think that he. He didn't have this commissioned. I think somebody else posted it, and he's like, great, I'll put this up. He put up a picture of him as the Pope last year. Like, why. Why is this over the line? Why. Why does the woke right have a problem with Trump doing this? This seems like I've seen this picture thousands of times on Facebook.

[Big T]

So the woke right is who has a problem?

[Host]

I don't know. That's just a phrase that I've heard.

[Big T]

No, I've heard it, but I'm just trying to.

[Host]

I have no idea what it means.

[Big T]

If the, if the woke right would. I guess so. I guess if the implication is that you're complaining about everything and making a big deal out of stuff, that would be so. I don't know, but. Oh, we hated it.

[Host]

We have an explanation.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Kaitlyn Collins is on the scene.

[Host]

Yeah, we have an explanation. They asked Trump about it. He says he told the. The pool reporters that he thought he was depicted as a doctor in the image that he shared.

[Aryan]

Ah. Oh, yeah, it was just him.

[Host]

Kind of.

[Aryan]

Health care is coming, baby.

[Host]

Yup. Kind of maybe sexist on a lot of people's parts that they didn't think that a male could be a doctor in this picture.

[Big T]

Dad was the doctor.

[Host]

Blows people's minds. Yeah. The classic riddle. So problem solved on that one. I don't know why I deleted. Like, I, I've seen this. So many, like, so many people's uncles have posted pretty much this exact same image online before.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think it's different when he's the one doing it, though.

[Aryan]

He.

[Host]

He posed himself as the Pope last year.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That's true. I think people were mad about that last year. What, like, shocks me is that people are surprised. Yeah. Like, it's like, okay, he's got a

[Host]

lot of fair weather friends out there that are. That are all over his ass for this picture. And frankly, I think that, like, if, if this is what changed your mind about Trump, then there's something else that's making them flip on him right now, and it's not this picture.

[Aryan]

What's the real issue?

[Host]

I don't know.

[Aryan]

Maybe.

[Host]

Maybe the just word on the street is like, hey, we're all turning on Trump now.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I mean, Riley Gaines is even upset with him.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

You cannot lose gains. You can't lose Alex Jones and Riley Gaines within a week of each other.

[Host]

You can't, you can't lose gains. That's actually an oxymoron.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So true. Can't lose gains.

[Host]

In the background of this picture, I should note in PFT is playing corner, that appears to be the YF23, the experimental aircraft that was designed and lost out on the open big competition for the next generation fifth generation aircraft that eventually was awarded to the F22 Raptor. And. Or maybe it was the F35 Lightning. But you see the, the triangular wings, that's distinct to the YF prototype that never actually entered production. Just something to. I guess it's up in heaven because it, it doesn't exist anymore. But it was a very good plane. So. Yeah, I don't know why this is. Why. Why this is a bridge too far for people. I don't, I don't get it.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But, like, people say it's a bridge too far, and then they're back to normal in two days.

[Host]

It's not like we shouldn't, we shouldn't give a shit about, like, what kind of, like, if it's a slightly offensive image that the President put, like, there's so much other stuff that we can talk about. It is ridiculous. I mean, don't get me wrong. It's. It's ridiculous.

[Aryan]

You lost me.

[Big T]

Wait, so you're. So this is.

[Host]

Okay, I'm probably, I'm probably wrong about that. I'm. I guess I'm saying this particular image, I don't see what distinguish. Distinguishes this from a number of things that he's already.

[Aryan]

This one shows. This one holds a mirror to Christians who support it.

[Big T]

No, that's why I.

[Aryan]

Anybody, Anybody, Anybody who's not a Christian that has seen this man operate the last 8, 10 years can clearly see he don't read the Bible. There's nothing about him that's Christian. He actually holds a lot of antithetical Christian views, and he does. Nothing about him screams the words of Jesus. This one is specifically abhorrent in their eyes because it's him. It's blasphemy. It's him depicting himself as Jesus. Yeah. Which is blasphemy. Which is their number one. I think God's number one sin. And so it's finally getting them to see, yo, this dude's an asshole. An asshole, bro. We've been seeing it. If you're not a Christian, you've been seeing this shit. But I think Christian Trump supporters, I won't say all Christians, but Christian Trump supporters. I think this one kind of woke some of them up. Like, why would he do this? Because he's an asshole. That's why.

[Big T]

I don't think most Christians on the right, like, associate Trump with being a Christian. I mean, he said 2 Corinthians. Like, he's not, you know, But I mean, it makes sense that you would see this and say, what's the difference from this and anything else? And then if you're a Christian and you see that, you would be more offended than if he posts any. Whatever else he does.

[Host]

I get that. Yeah. It's not offend. Just because it's not offensive to me doesn't mean that it wouldn't be.

[Big T]

So this is, this is interesting in that you. And I think there's a lot of people like you who are like, what's the big deal? He posts stuff like this all the time. But then people on the right are very upset about.

[Host]

Yeah, it is interesting.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think it's like Aron said last week, he does so much and says so much that it's. We're like, desensitized to it now that it's like, oh, well, this means nothing to me because of everything else sort of thing. Yep, that's how I feel.

[Host]

Yeah. I think this is a perfectly. This image that he posted falls in line with my preconceived notion of Trump, like, 100%. Like, I don't see anything out of the ordinary with this picture.

[Aryan]

And that's why I say, like, does it bother me? No shit don't bother me. Right. None of this shit he posts bothers me. Like, I'm gonna lose no sleep over it. Do I, do I think it's problematic for our society. Yeah, of course. But there's just nothing I can do about it. So there's no reason wasting any time about it. But it's like, it's. You can see the, like the juxtaposition between the buddy that you sent in the, in the sheet today, Big T. What's his name? Sowell.

[Big T]

Oh, Eric Swalwell.

[Aryan]

Yeah. So he has allegations against him and rightfully so. We're like, check that shit. And you should probably resign. Right. Trump has been convicted, civilly liable for sexual assault, and nobody bad tonight. It's fake news. It's because how he has branded himself. And it's like nothing he says matters and nothing will stick unless he wants it to stick. And that's just, that's just where we're at. And that's why it's comical. But, you know, the show goes.

[Host]

I got a question about the swallow thing because, yeah, he's been accused by multiple women of sexual harassment, sexual assault even.

[Aryan]

Right.

[Host]

Some really, really terrible accusations where, like, if any of them are remotely true, then, yeah, this guy needs to be out of the government immediately. Probably investigated by, by law enforcement. It is, it's. It's strange how like there was this build up to all the accusations coming out where people were like bubbling up about some of the accusations like a week ago. I'm not saying that they're false. I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying that it, it feels like there it's been like packaged and like one person or like one group of people was like collecting all this evidence. I, I would have loved to see this evidence come out. Like, I want to know if a guy like this who's currently serving in Congress is up to this type of bullshit before they start to like, run for governor, right? Like, who did he piss off by running for governor to the point where it's like, okay, now all your secrets are going to be dropped.

[Aryan]

I think it's probably a little deeper than that, honestly. Like, so knowing women who are victims of SA in multiple different forms, a lot of times they don't speak out for various reasons. I ain't saying nothing new here, but they don't speak out for various different reasons that are sacred to them. They could be afraid, they could not. They want to bury it. They want to get over it. And I think when your abuser is a public figure, probably I don't want to speak for them, but I assume it like eats at you more and more and more. And wherever he's at in his career, if he gets more notoriety, if he's running for something sometimes that could trigger the, you know what, this. I can't, I can't be silent anymore. That could, that could be it. You know, there could be a multiplicity of different reasons. But. And again, he's, you know, not been convicted of anything yet. So we don't know if the accusations are true. But I'm just like, if you, if that kind of is swirling, it's probably best for you to just step down anyway. Like, how is that good?

[Host]

Yeah, yeah, I, I agree. I. So he's, he's dropped out of running for California governor. But like the, his campaign for governor, it is coincides with the accusations coming out. That's why I'm saying like, I'm wondering who put all this stuff together as he decided to run for governor.

[Aryan]

See, there's like a, a coalition of.

[Host]

I'm saying that it might even be somebody that's on the Democrat side that, that knew all this stuff. Like people knew that Swalwell juicy with was like, was. It was a dirty dude before. And if you're a Democrat, you're More likely to have the same type of sources and understand, like, this guy's got skeletons in his closet, but I'm not going to say anything because he's on our team. But then when he runs for governor, for some reason, he's running against somebody that I support. So now we can, like, let the world know about all the shit that I already knew.

[Big T]

Well, reporters said that publicly.

[Host]

Who said that?

[Big T]

A bunch of reporters were like, yeah, we've heard about this for many years. One woman, Bethany Allen, EBR is her Twitter at head of China investigations at Aspi Cybertech and Security. I don't know what that means, but she said, I did not play it down. I very much wanted to report it myself, but. Me, too. Stories on the Hill aren't related to my beat as much as I personally wish I could report them out. I passed the tip along to colleagues on the Hill beat. So she was like, yeah, I knew it. Didn't report it, though.

[Host]

Well, I understand that if that's not your specialty in reporting stuff like that, then you want to give to somebody who.

[Big T]

But if this guy is sexually assaulting women and he's in Congress, that's something people should know about.

[Aryan]

Yeah, but.

[Big T]

And she's not even the only one. There were other reporters that were like, yeah, we've been hearing about this on Capitol Hill for years.

[Host]

Yeah. So why didn't they, why didn't they dig deeper into it? I don't know. Because if you're saying shame on the

[Aryan]

people that knew, ain't say none when they, when they, when they found out about it.

[Big T]

Yeah. I mean, if you're a reporter and you've been hearing about this, you should report that if you haven't through sources and whatever.

[Aryan]

Are you talking about the reporters? E. Are you talking about. Are you talking about the people in the, in the Democratic Party that are, I guess, blew the whistle?

[Host]

I don't know. I guess Big T is talking about the reporters.

[Big T]

You're saying it's like, I'm talking about time.

[Host]

It's a, it's an interesting time.

[Big T]

Right.

[Host]

Like, there's no denying that it's a really interesting time for it to come out because, like, this guy has been front and center a lot of stuff in Congress for the last several years, but now that he's running for governor of California and his biggest enemies are other Democrats at the moment that he's running against out there now it comes

[Big T]

out and there's a Republican that's threatening

[Host]

to win, and there's a Republican that's threatening to win. I, I think that that speaks more to the fact that people like on his own team knew about it behind the scenes and didn't say until that guy became their enemy too. Or their opposition.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Which is very like disillusioned that I think that's like, that's what most Americans have a problem with when it comes to like we can't really trust anything that either party says because at the end of the day they're all just looking out for themselves and their sense of morality. It, it varies depending on the. From, you know, from circumstance to circumstance and whether or not it affects their team or the opposition. So yeah, I just think it's, it's interesting if you know even a fraction of what's being accused is true. The guy should be arrested, the guy should be locked up. So I absolutely, I don't know, I, I haven't like looked too far into the accusations. I just saw that there were a bunch of them and they tend to be pretty detailed and some women like putting their names on it and it feels like this is like this is probably the end of the road for him politically.

[Big T]

Did you see who had a video of him?

[Host]

I saw one video of him in like a hotel room where he like grabbed the woman's face and made her kiss.

[Big T]

Did you see who had that?

[Host]

No.

[Big T]

Martin Shkreli.

[Host]

Yes.

[Aryan]

You know what?

[Host]

Yeah, I did see that video by Martin Shkrel. Is that the Martin Shkrel? Yes, Martin the farmer bro.

[Aryan]

Who?

[Host]

The farmer bro. The guy that paid millions of dollars for the Wuang album, bro.

[Aryan]

What?

[Big T]

He went to prison maybe like 10 years ago cuz he was jacking up the price of some drug. I forget what it was.

[Host]

It was an.

[Aryan]

What's the, how you spell his name, Martin?

[Big T]

S, H, K, R, E, L. I see what drug it was. His company like I guess was the only place you could buy it. And they were.

[Host]

Yeah, he bought the patent for this drug that was a life saving drug and he increased the cost of it by thousands of percent. And his rationale was like the, the insurance companies are paying for it anyway, so it doesn't matter that I'm making it more expensive. So he. Yeah, he went to prison. He's also the guy that bought the Wu Tang album that was never, never marketed or pressed or distributed. He bought it for I forget how many millions of dollars and it was just for him. He was also an early guest on Pardon My Take. People forget that.

[Big T]

Do you know who else was on that episode?

[Host]

Mr. Portnoy.

[Big T]

No, big T. Yes.

[Host]

No way. You guys made your PMT debut on the same.

[Big T]

And that was the, like, fifth or sixth episode of pardon my take.

[Host]

Yeah, that's pretty incredible.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

Yeah. You. You've been around, huh, Big T?

[Big T]

Yeah, it's been a long time.

[Aryan]

Okay. I'm looking at this video of him kissing his girl.

[Big T]

He also, Martin shkreli said in the tweet, here's the Eric Swalwell video. My source says it was taken in his home and the woman is a sex worker. So that's what Martin Shkreli said.

[Host]

This guy's partying with Martin Shkreli?

[Big T]

Well, he. He said he got it from a source, so I don't think shkreli was there.

[Host]

Okay.

[Aryan]

All right.

[Big T]

But what sources does Martin Shkreli have?

[Host]

No idea.

[Big T]

I guess solid ones if that's real.

[Host]

See, that's where I would start to be careful because Shkreli. I don't want to make any judgments on the guy.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Host]

I would imagine that he deals with a lot of fly by night type people.

[Big T]

Sure.

[Host]

But it's shadiest.

[Big T]

Now, the only place, if. The only person in the world who had that is him. He has a good source embedded somewhere.

[Host]

Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure. And. And that video, it. It appears to be real. And if so, it's definitely newsworthy. And I'm not saying that that is. I'm not saying anything about that piece of content. But I would say that if Shkreli is in charge of drumming up all your opposition research, he's probably getting them through some channels that might not be above board.

[Big T]

I don't disagree with that.

[Host]

That's all I'm saying about it.

[Big T]

He had the tip, though.

[Host]

And once again, get Swalwell out because that guy seems like a giant scumbag.

[Aryan]

I said everybody gangster until they piss off Martin shkreli.

[Big T]

How long did he go to jail using?

[Aryan]

Seven years.

[Big T]

Wow. Did he do seven?

[Aryan]

I don't know if he did seven. I'm just reading, like, his shit that pops up. He got sentenced to seven years for securities fraud.

[Big T]

Six years and five months. He did the whole thing.

[Host]

He was released early in May 22 from the lowest security prison, Allenwood, Pennsylvania. Do you think that going to minimum security prison would be kind of fun?

[Big T]

I think that's the camp that they sent. I think that's where John Kiriakou was.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Big T]

But then he. There's a real prison and the. The camp, and he was supposed to go to the camp and they put him in the real prison.

[Aryan]

Right.

[Big T]

And he never, he had to do the whole thing in the real prison.

[Host]

That's right. Yeah. I remember hearing that, that interview with him where he like, he was in prison with mobsters.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Like some really bad dudes. He's like, I'm supposed to be across the street. Yeah. Like, sorry, buddy, you're here.

[Big T]

Cohen, Michael Cohen may have gone there.

[Host]

I think, I think that going to like the most minimum security prison. It might be kind of nice.

[Big T]

For how long?

[Host]

Like call it a, A month.

[Big T]

Just get away.

[Host]

Just get away. It's kind of like the Masters. Take away your cell phone.

[Big T]

No phones.

[Host]

No phones at all.

[Big T]

They got more phones in there than at the Masters.

[Host]

Well, way more probably. I, I was saying on, on PMT yesterday, I think, I think more places should do what the Masters does. I think that people have a, a desire to put their phones away.

[Big T]

I disagree with you and here's why. In order for, in order for it to be an enjoyable experience, to negate the, the, the, the loss of not having your phone, it needs to be something as grand and awesome as the Masters. If you start letting people get willy nilly with, oh, you can't bring a phone in here. Well, I'm not going to go to your little comedy show if I can't.

[Aryan]

I think that's a Gen X thing. He. Are you Gen X? Whatever the is under us.

[Big T]

No, Z, I'm, I'm on the. I used to consider myself a millennial, but yes, I'm, I'm the first year

[Aryan]

of Gen Z. Yeah, I agree with you, Eric. And I think that, I think that it would, like, phone breaks are clinically proven to improve mental health. Clinically proven. And I think, I think it would be great. I think it'd be a good trend to start. Hey, when we go out, no more phones. Like, I think that'd be a great idea.

[Big T]

I think that's great. If you want to do that yourself. I don't want places starting to implement that.

[Aryan]

Freedom guy.

[Big T]

Yeah, do it now. The Masters can do it because their experience is top tier. And like, it is made better, everyone says, by not having your phone. But if, if, I don't know, a restaurant starts to say that you can't bring your phone in and then you go there and the restaurant's not very good. Well, right. Why do you get to tell me that?

[Host]

Yeah, but then the market bears it out. So if you say if there's a bar and at this bar we're not gonna do phones, we got like pinball machines. We Got, you know, the jukebox. We got a couple TVs that are on, you know, your classic bar. If there's a bar that's like, yeah, no phones in this place, if that bar sucks and people don't have a good time, then they'll stop going. But there's.

[Aryan]

I.

[Host]

There's a lot of bars that I even like. You know, some of the diveiest dive bars going there. If they had a no phones policy. Yeah, I would, I would love to go to a place like that. I don't know that I pay more money per beer to go there. Maybe a little bit.

[Aryan]

Well, that's the thing. The. The drinks and the food is cheaper over there.

[Host]

Yeah. At the Masters. Yeah.

[Big T]

To help create that great experience.

[Host]

Yeah. So I would, I think, I think there should be more places like that that adopt that same policy and we'll see what happens.

[Aryan]

I would. It would be tough though, for like, big arena events, though, because if you lose somebody, that's tough.

[Host]

That. Yep. Okay. That's a fair point.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

You had a bigger.

[Aryan]

That's where I would say, where I probably like, draw the line. But like, like a little, you know, I'm saying like a little restaurant or bar or something like that. Yeah. We'll meet outside if we get lost.

[Host]

Yeah, exactly. And there, there's probably a way around that too, where it's like, I, I know that people would have to use their phones for some things, like to find out, like, if their friend is going to make it, that sort of thing. You have like a little place outside, like it's like a smoking lounge.

[Aryan]

Right.

[Host]

Like cigarettes and phones. You can, you can use those in this area, but same spot. Yeah, but I don't want, I don't want the people that are inside without their phones to be able to see the people that are on their phones. Because if you see somebody looking at their phone, then all of a sudden you start to reach down to your pocket and you're like, oh, I want to look at my phone too.

[Big T]

What if we go back to the smoking non smoking days, but with phones?

[Host]

That could be cool.

[Big T]

If you don't want it, this side's for you. If you want it, you're over here.

[Host]

That could be cool. But again, I think that you would see. I don't want to. If I'm. If I'm choosing to go somewhere and not look at my phone, I don't want to see other people looking at their phones.

[Aryan]

It's like a yawn.

[Host]

Yeah, it's like a yawn. Yeah, I would prefer that everybody in the environment is on the same page.

[Big T]

Yeah. I mean forever we there. I'm sure there were people who didn't want cigarettes in the restaurants, but yeah, we let them do it.

[Host]

You could smoke a cigarette right next to somebody and be like, I'm sitting in the non smoking section but I'm getting. I'm going to walk home smelling like an astronaut.

[Big T]

That didn't end until very recently.

[Aryan]

Yeah, it's pretty recent.

[Big T]

It might be 2010.

[Host]

There are some bars that you can still go into where you're allowed to smoke, but they're kind of off.

[Big T]

But these aren't. I remember in restaurants, yeah. You'd go into Red Robin, they'd be like, you want smoking or non smoking?

[Host]

Yep, yep. I remember. Yeah. There's. When I was in college, there were tons of restaurants that still you could sit in. Smell like an ashtray. Really, Really a strange decision.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Host]

And I thought Virginia would never change because tobacco was such a cash crop there. I was like, they'll never get rid of the smoking inside. But they had to.

[Big T]

They love their tobacco.

[Host]

They do. We're going to get back to nano dosing. Just seconds. Brought to you by Stella Blue Coffee. It's more than just great coffee. It's coffee with a purpose.

I encourage everybody out there to a adopt an animal and we're going to try to fund a thousand pet adoptions through Stow Blue. So check it out. Stowbluecoffee.com all right, what else we got today? Anything else in the news?

[Big T]

Do you know about the chimp Civil War?

[Host]

I have heard about the chimp Civil war. Can you, can you give Me more deets on it.

[Big T]

Well, it's a little. I was a little disappointed upon looking into it because they made it seem like this just happened. Like the chimps are at war. They've been at war since, like, 2015. So while still notable, I suppose it's been a slow burn.

[Host]

So are there, like, leaders? Are there generals?

[Big T]

So apparently these two groups were formerly part of one tribe, and then there was a schism at some point, and now they're at war with each other. They say there were three likely catalysts. The first were the deaths of five adult males and one adult female in 2014, which could have disrupted social networks and weakened social ties across the subgroups. The following year, there was a change in the alpha male, which the study says coincided with the first period of separation between the western and central groups. And the third factor was the deaths of 25 chimpanzees, including four adult males and 10 adult females as a result of a respiratory epidemic in 2017. So, yeah, these are in Uganda.

[Host]

Okay.

[Big T]

The. The NGO Chimpanzee Project is who commissioned this study, looking into it, I guess. And, yeah, there have been 24 killings, including 17 infants. So it seems the babies are getting the brunt of it.

[Host]

That's brutal. Yeah, that's brutal. Is there, like. Are there peace negotiations?

[Big T]

I don't think so. I think what, you know, how do you. How do you talk them down?

[Host]

Jane Goodall, she's dead, right?

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

She would be the only person, one

[Aryan]

of the better humans that have ever walked.

[Host]

I would agree.

[Big T]

Is anyone taking up that. I feel like that's an empty mantle in society.

[Host]

The. The person who's obsessed with apes.

[Big T]

Yeah. The chimpanzee peacemaker.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I don't think you get thrust into that. I think that's a natural person progression.

[Host]

It's a calling. Yeah, yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's a vocation.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Big T]

But there's. There's only been one ever that we can name.

[Host]

Well, there was also. There was the person that was, like, in charge of Coco. Coco, the gorilla. You remember that? No, the gorilla that learned sign language.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Aryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Who was that? Didn't they make a Netflix documentary about that lady who owned all the monkeys? Yeah, I forget her name, but they, like, attacked someone, I think, too.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

You don't want to keep them in captivity. It's like the whole cocoa thing was kind of sad because, yes, the gorilla learned how to do sign language, but also the gorilla would be like, coco sad. And then you're like, well, shit, that kind of sucks. I really wish that the gorilla wasn't telling us how depressed it was all the time. Whoops.

[Big T]

Do you like parrots?

[Host]

That's a great question.

[Big T]

I don't like them.

[Host]

That's a great question.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I don't.

[Host]

I do not. I don't. I. I kind of like looking at them, like in the wild, but I don't like them as pets.

[Big T]

No, I don't like the. I. I saw a video today of a parrot singing Monster by Rihanna. Don't like it. Don't want that to be happening. How do they know how to do that?

[Host]

I don't care for that at all. I don't.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I've been seeing a lot of parrot AI videos of them, like, getting haircuts and they give the parrot a bob.

[Host]

Okay, that's funny. I kind of like that. I don't like, like, pet parrots. Although there was that one. I don't know if it's a. Yeah, I think it's like an African gray parrot. The one that knows, like, thousands of words. I don't.

[Big T]

I like them to know no words. I don't like the words.

[Host]

That's kind of crazy. They'll pick up like a yellow diecast car and be like, yellow car?

[Big T]

Yeah, I hate that.

[Host]

That's kind of.

[Big T]

And I hate their tongue.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Big T]

I hate everything about them.

[Host]

I had a parrot for a couple years when I was younger in my house. His name was Jimmy. He was a Brazilian Conyer parrot. And that parrot hated everyone. It was such an asshole.

[Big T]

It's not what you want.

[Host]

It loved my dad. It loved and respected my dad. But it would, like, chill on my dad's shoulder sometimes. And then if I was, like, watching TV on the couch, it would get off my dad's shoulder, walk across the couch to me, bite me, and then walk back to my dad and, like, break the skin and, like, make me bleed.

[Big T]

Yeah, that would have been the parents last day in my house.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Well, no, because my dad liked him because they had a great relationship.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

So your dad chose the parrot over you?

[Host]

Well, he was just like, listen, Jimmy's a great. I don't know, he might see something in you that I don't see.

[Aryan]

Like.

[Host]

Yeah, why doesn't Jimmy like you?

[Big T]

Was he named for Jimmy Buffett?

[Host]

He was. Yes, he was named for Jimmy Buffett.

[Big T]

Like that.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Oh, that's funny.

[Host]

But no, I'm not. I'm not big into. I'm not big into parrots as pets or parrots speaking or anything like that.

[Big T]

Yeah, just that. You talking about the gorilla sign Language made me think of parrots.

[Host]

There was a. There was a field. I think it was the intramural sports field at the University of Texas that for some reason had massive nests of wild parrots or parakeets that lived up there. I think they're still there. So just in the middle of downtown Austin, Texas, you'll see, like, these super bright colored parrots flying around everywhere.

[Big T]

Hate that.

[Host]

It's kind of nice when they're wild, though. Like, I don't have a problem with wild parrots.

[Big T]

No parrots. I don't do. I don't do a lot of animals.

[Host]

I don't understand the bird culture where, like, you have a notebook and you write down all the different birds that you see. I like looking at birds. In fact, I just bought. I just bought some bird feeders, but I don't. Yeah, it's. Birds are nice to look at, but I don't. I don't understand the people that, like, take notebooks out and they're like, I just saw Robin. Let me jot that one down. Like, I don't get it.

[Big T]

Think you got to be really bored.

[Host]

You might need to be bored. Yeah. All right, what else we got in the news today?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Melania press conference.

[Host]

Oh, yeah. So frankly, I. I find myself becoming more and more suspicious of everyone that hasn't had a predis conference saying that they are not friends with Jeffrey Epstein. Like, Aaron, you've been pretty silent on the subject.

[Aryan]

That's true, man. What did, what did Melania say?

[Host]

She said that she, contrary to what everyone's talking about, she was never friends with Ghislaine or Jeffrey Epstein. And so she would appreciate if the constant media discussion regarding Melania Trump being great friends with the Epstein family and potentially involved in their trafficking operation when Trump met her, if she'd appreciate if everybody shut up about that.

[Aryan]

And I'm sure right after everybody did. Right.

[Host]

Well, that's the thing. It's like nobody was talking about it at all. And then she gave a press conference. Now everyone's like, wait, what?

[Big T]

There may have been a time to give that press conference, but it was many months ago.

[Host]

I'd say years, maybe. Yeah, maybe like a year. I. I don't get it. I don't. I don't understand it at all. Apparently, Donald Trump did not know that she was about to give a press conference about this. It certainly makes you think.

[Aryan]

Wait, hold on.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

He.

[Aryan]

He didn't know that she was going

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

to give conflicting reports on that?

[Host]

Yeah, he said that he didn't know. Right.

[Big T]

1000%. He knew it was in the White House. Walk down the hall, dude.

[Host]

It just. It's very interesting that she gave. That she gave. It is the old tweet of my T shirt saying I'm not involved in human trafficking.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

What do you not get from my T shirt?

[Host]

Yeah, there's a lot of people. There's a lot of people asking questions about my not involved in human trafficking T shirt. Asking questions that are already answered by my T shirt.

[Big T]

I am seeing the quote of Trump's response to his Truth Social post, and we may need to play the clip because I, I need to hear him

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

say, okay, with the McDonald's worker.

[Big T]

McDonald's. Oh, there. Yeah, there's a woman wearing a shirt that says door Dash Grandma. I don't, I don't know what that means.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's something about no tax on tips for delivery.

[Big T]

Drag. Well, here is Trump's response.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Depicted as Jesus Christ.

[Aryan]

Well, it wasn't depiction. It was me.

[Big T]

I, I did first it, and I

[Host]

thought it was me as a doctor

[Aryan]

and had to do with Red Cross,

[Host]

as a Red Cross worker there, which we support.

[Aryan]

And only the fake news could come up with that one.

[Big T]

So I, I had, I just heard

[Aryan]

about it, and I said, how do they come up with that? It's supposed to be me as a doctor making people better. And I do make. Make people better. I make people a lot better.

[Big T]

Oh, man.

[Host]

So problem solved.

[Big T]

He does make people better.

[Aryan]

Exist.

[Host]

We got to the bottom of that one.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

Honorable man.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think the Melania thing is because of the news about Paulo Zampoli, who is in the administration, getting his wife deported, or not his wife, sorry, the mother of his child deported Amanda Longaro. And how he also had something to do with Melania getting over to the States and Paolo Zampoli being extremely involved, extremely involved in the Epstein files.

[Host]

And so Paolo Zampoli, his. The, the mother of his children was very close friends with Melania for quite some time. And then after she was deported, she basically said, all right, gloves are off. Yeah, I got some stuff. I, I got some dirt on you. And so that might be why Melania did this, because she's getting out ahead of whatever Tim Poly's baby mama had to say.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I believe Amanda Ungaro is releasing either a book or something, some sort of tell all.

[Host]

And then guest of Macrodosing, Tim Miller, kind of got dragged a little bit on his reaction to the press conference because he was pretty much saying, like, how long has Melania been in this country? And she still can't speak without, like, a crazy accent.

[Aryan]

Oh, former Republican coming out of him, huh?

[Host]

Yeah, she has. Can I say something about Milani's voice? I don't mean this disrespectfully. It's hilarious. Her voice is so funny. Whenever I like, she's. It's naturally funny. Like, she. She could be like a voice actor for a cartoon.

[Aryan]

I don't know that I could, like, pick it out of a voice lineup.

[Host]

I don't know that it's very funny. I like her voice.

[Aryan]

I. I know this. She be fly dog. She can dress like. She could put it together for stylist. What? She could dress dog.

[Host]

And how old is she?

[Aryan]

Don't say it must be.

[Big T]

She is going to be 57 years old.

[Host]

She is 55. Turning 56 in just a couple weeks. Happy early birthday, Melania. But yeah. So that is right in Aryan's wheelhouse.

[Aryan]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, big time.

[Host]

See, I. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what that. What that shoe to drop is going to be, because that was. It was just a bizarre, bizarre press conference.

[Big T]

Aaron, are you turning 40 this year?

[Aryan]

I'm in.

[Host]

Let's go.

[Big T]

That's what I thought.

[Host]

Do you have anything big planned?

[Aryan]

Yeah, I was going to go to Japan, but I don't know if I'm gonna make that happen. We'll see. We'll see.

[Big T]

August twenty. Is it the third or fourth? Fourth. Final answer.

[Aryan]

Nice. Good job.

[Host]

Let's go.

[Aryan]

August 24th, 1986.

[Host]

Do we have some voicemails that we can do?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yep.

[Host]

All right, before we get to voicemails, they're brought to you, actually, a very important message that I'd like to. Everyone, listen up. This is actually.

[Aryan]

You're.

[Host]

You're going to want to hear me do this ad read America. Here's something crazy that I heard. Here's a fun fact. Masturbating 21 times a month lowers your risk of getting prostate cancer.

[Big T]

No, no, no. You're supposed to be doing an ad.

[Host]

Oh, I'm just. Yeah, this. Just off the top.

[Big T]

Just off the top. That's the ad.

[Host]

This is. This is the ad.

[Big T]

Okay. Wow.

[Host]

This is the ad. It says, make it organic and fun. I think that's a. I think orgasmic and fun is what it meant to say. Jacking off. Catch it. Let me. Hey, let me put you guys onto something. You tried jacking off before. It's awesome. You. Hey, give it a try and then be like, pft. You were right. Coming is pretty good. Masturbating 21 times a month lowers your risk of getting prostate cancer. It really does reduce the risk, so it helps your health. There's a non profit out there called Cancer. It wants men to beat cancer off. Literally. I want to show you guys something. They sent this over to us. 21 tissues to beat cancer off right here. So this is 21 tissues in this clean. In this tissue box. And it significantly reduces your chances of getting prostate cancer. And you know what? It doesn't have to necessarily even be jacking off. Just coming, coming 21 times a month. It helps you. It's healthy for you. Everyone knows someone that's been affected by cancer. I know a couple people that have been really affected by prostate cancer in my life. And so anything that you can do to help stave that off or be aware of it, I'm going to support. So here it is. 21 tissues to beat Cancer off cancer. Now you guys know, check it out.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

One of them is mean and one of them is nice.

[Big T]

Okay, why are we doing mean?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Because it wasn't like.

[Aryan]

Because we ride.

[Host]

Is it mean funny or is it mean mean?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think it's mean funny based on what it's mean about.

[Host]

Okay.

[Big T]

Gotta guess who it's mean to.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

All of you.

[Host]

All right.

[Aryan]

Yo, what's going on? It's your boy Price out of Columbia, South Carolina. Listen, I got a good question for you guys. If you had a low. A logo to represent your brand, like a mascot of some sort, what would that animal or thing be like? For me, I'd like to think that it would be like a. Like a honey badger wearing Ray Ban wafers, maybe with like a trucker cap on, something like that. I'd love to know what your. Your mascot would be for your brand. You know what I'm saying? So, like, with Big T, you know, would it be a giant tee? I don't know. Anyways, y' all take it easy. God bless. And God bless Big T. Take it easy.

[Big T]

Guys, God bless you as well. Price.

[Host]

A personal animal logo, mascot for yourself. I've never really thought about that before. It's a fair question.

[Big T]

Doesn't have to be an animal.

[Host]

Oh, yeah. It could just be like. Like a plant.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Could be anything.

[Big T]

Could be anything. Or a logo.

[Host]

Yeah, I'm not.

[Aryan]

Yours is super easy. It'd be any animal you're fond of with glasses on.

[Host]

Yeah, but I was just trying to think, like, what's the.

[Big T]

The pit viper? Sunglasses.

[Host]

Yeah. What's the most appropriate animal for me? Like maybe corgi.

[Big T]

No, that's too.

[Aryan]

Is that a dog?

[Host]

Dog. It's a dog. What do you mean?

[Big T]

You're more of a rough and tumble type guy. You're not a corgi.

[Host]

I appreciate that, Big T. Yeah, you're right. You know what, Big T, you're right.

[Big T]

I know.

[Host]

Next time you try to call me a limousine liberal, I'm gonna remember that.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Host]

Yeah, like a French bulldog. Bulldog.

[Aryan]

Something with long hair and glasses.

[Host]

Yeah. What? Yeah. Any animals out there with a mullet? That's my big question for you.

[Big T]

I'm asking chat. GPT.

[Host]

Oh.

[Big T]

I mean, you're gonna be offended, but it gave a great one.

[Host]

Okay.

[Big T]

You're a ferret.

[Host]

I'm a ferret?

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

Why a ferret?

[Big T]

I think that's the. For your long face and mischievous vibe.

[Host]

Have a long face? No, I don't think of a long.

[Big T]

I think the hair goes with ferret.

[Host]

The hair does go with ferret. Yeah. Okay, I'll take the mischief.

[Big T]

It also gave otter.

[Host]

Maybe a. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, otter. Otters are cool.

[Big T]

Kind of scruffy, but likable and expressive.

[Host]

There you go. Wait, I think. Isn't an otter like a mix between a bear and a twink? I think it is. We had a guy that I played rugby with and his nickname was Otter, and I think there was a gay guy on our team that gave him the nickname Otter because it meant something in the community.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yes.

[Host]

Is that what it is?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

An otter is. I believe it's a smaller bear. But hold on. I don't want to get that wrong.

[Host]

Okay.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

An otter is a gay subculture term describing men who are lean, slim, or athletic build, but also hairy. Yeah. So a smaller bear.

[Host]

Okay.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think it goes twink, Otter, bear.

[Host]

Got it.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Bear is like a big, big guy.

[Host]

Yep.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yep.

[Host]

Okay, I'll be in.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, you're kind of an otter.

[Host]

Maybe an otter. I might be an otter.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

You're an otter.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

But I might be an otter.

[Aryan]

Yeah. They can get a little Feisty, you know?

[Host]

What about you, Aaron? I mean, you. I feel like you probably already had your own logo, didn't you?

[Aryan]

Yeah, I got one for the rap jump Boom. Bobby Felt. But I feel like I like the. I like the mascot better. I asked my chat bot do. Do yours too. Big thing. I want to see what that comes up with. Mine says, adaptable and unbothered by convention, building AI agents, making cocktails, studying geopolitics, grinding golf yardage cars. Crows are famous for thriving in any environment and making use of whatever's around them. And honestly, crows, remember, they hold grudges. They reward people who treat them well. You told me straight up, precision over diplomacy, truth over comfort. Don't confabulate. That's crow's energy. My guy has me as a crow.

[Big T]

Two things. I'll get to mine in a second. You never did. You have, like a. Like, under armour. Did they give you, like, a player logo?

[Aryan]

No. What is a player logo?

[Big T]

Like, you know, like some actual brand. Yeah. Like some players on their cleats, they'll have like a.

[Aryan]

No, no, no.

[Big T]

Feel like you were. You were good enough to get one of those.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Host]

I don't know.

[Aryan]

I lobbied for it, though.

[Big T]

Mine gave me basset hound. I see that a little.

[Host]

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Big T]

So, yeah, a basset hound with, like, pit viper sunglasses. That's like. I'm on most days. I'm chill, but I'm the. The opportunity to party is there.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Big T]

You know.

[Host]

Yeah, you're a good time when you feel like being a good time.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Host]

Yeah, that's fair. Mad Dog McKenzie. You guys have any for yourself?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

The first thing that came to mind, which I'm just stealing another, like, mascot, but the pill is very dope. Boy, I just think it's so funny and people call me that online, so why not just play into it? And I was that for Halloween when I was, like, 10 years old.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Host]

I mean, it's a friendly little guy.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

The vibe. Yeah.

[Host]

Everybody loves.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

You match his open heart exactly. His vibe.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Can you do the laugh?

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

The first thing that. What is the laugh?

[Host]

Actually, that's the most important part.

[Big T]

You can't say you're the Pillsbury Doughboy and not know the laugh.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I haven't heard him in a while.

[Big T]

It's. Yeah, it's very high pitched.

[Host]

I don't think I can do it, but yeah.

[Big T]

Exuberant and joyous.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah, that's my vibe.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Host]

You could have given me probably 5,000 guesses and I would not have gotten that for You.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Host]

But, yeah, I like it. All right, Mad Dog.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I don't know. I don't know if I have one. One. I don't. I don't really know what, like, really suits me like that. I don't know. Come back to me. I really have. I'm kind of stumped on this one.

[Aryan]

An arrow. Just an arrow pointing one direction.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Oh, good one, Arian. That is a good one, Aryan. That is really good.

[Host]

And it says, I'm with her.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I'm with her. Yeah, my lib. One Direction fan ass. Yes, I like this. Perfect. It's an arrow pointing. That says I'm with her. Even though I was not old enough to vote for Hillary Clinton. And One Direction. Hell yeah, I like that. That's perfect. All right. Do you want to do the mean voicemail?

[Host]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Not particularly.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's not as. It's not like dogging.

[Host]

Oh, tough enough, snowflake?

[Big T]

I mean, we're going to do it, but I just. She asked.

[Aryan]

Well, just want to say you guys pissed me off today. You guys are idiots. You don't know what you're talking about. Augusta does not paint the fucking fairways. It's fucking Bermuda in rye grass overseeded on top.

[Host]

Two grasses that grow like fucking weeds.

[Aryan]

Especially in Augusta, Georgia. Plus their budget, with all the fucking chemicals they can put on there, you don't think they can have it green by now? How fucking stupid can you be? But to your point, I do. I. I have heard that the TV cameras adjust to make it look greener, but God, did you guys. Augusta National Golf Club paints their grass. Are you kidding me? Have some respect.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Of all the things from that episode. Yeah, that's the thing. He was upset.

[Big T]

I want it on record, I never said. Said that. And I agree with him.

[Host]

I did. It was.

[Aryan]

It was Eric that said it. And I said that could be the case, and I still don't care.

[Host]

Yeah, it was me. It was me. I'll take. I'll take the brunt of. Of that guy's ire. Yeah, I said it. I. I still think that it's true that I don't think they paint, like the entire fairways. I don't think that every hole is this weekend.

[Big T]

There were some spots that weren't looking pristine. So I think that goes against you.

[Aryan]

The first time I saw that. The first time I saw.

[Host]

There was some brown, there was some purple.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Catching on that people know about the pain.

[Host]

Yeah, I. I agree. It did make me look foolish with that. With those spots. I stand by in the past. I Think they've done it.

[Big T]

What would you rate the Augusta National Golf Club's performance this past week? Just overall, for the course. I feel like people. A lot of people. Not. No, not. Not like the difficulty. Just the entire experience. I think a lot of people were sour on it.

[Host]

Some people were sour. Are you talking about, like, with the gallery? Everything with the patrons?

[Big T]

Everything.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

People are, like, trying to gatekeep the Masters.

[Host]

They are trying to gate.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

It's kind of stupid a little bit.

[Big T]

Well, to be fair, the Masters has tried to.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Gatekeepers, like, people are like, oh, influencers shouldn't be. Shut up. Yeah, you wish you could go.

[Host]

So I. I look at the bellyaching about, like, the par three contest and the days of the practice rounds. It's like, I don't really care what happens at the Masters on Tuesday and third and Wednesday, but at the tournament, like, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, I like it to be tightened up.

[Big T]

Would you wear an egg salad hat?

[Host]

Yeah, I would. Because that. That hat doesn't exist.

[Big T]

Yes, it does.

[Host]

That guy made. Made his own hat. I don't think the egg salad is one of the ones that they sold.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think it is.

[Big T]

Or I think you're incorrect.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Is that. I think the pimento one.

[Host]

Yeah, they sell a pimento one.

[Big T]

They have a lot of them.

[Host]

They sell a crow's nest one.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think they sell an egg salad.

[Host]

I don't think they sell an egg salad. Brandon, we could.

[Big T]

There's a. There's an article on this guy.

[Host]

I was telling Big Cat I would. I would wear a hat that just said domestic beer on it, because that's one of the. That's one of the things that they. That they. We should actually do that for next year's. Next year's Masters.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Just make even weirder.

[Host]

Yeah, just sell domestic beer hats.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yes.

[Host]

That would rock.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

I think you would wear an egg salad. Bright yellow egg salad hat completely unironically.

[Host]

I don't know. I'm not a big egg salad guy.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

But you. You would do it for.

[Host]

Yeah, I might. I would wear an ice cream sandwich.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Totally.

[Big T]

It's in the master's font, but I'm not seeing anyone else with it, so it might have been just him. Also, he had four different colors.

[Host]

Yeah. And if that's the case, if this guy made his own egg salad hat, that's like, kind of making fun of the other hats that they're selling there. I love that. Good for him.

[Big T]

Would you wear a. A pimento hat?

[Host]

No, again, I think I would wear a domestic beer hat.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Host]

If we're doing a menu item, I'm going domestic beer. I was telling Big Cat that the egg salad hat. I like it. I would love it if the letters for egg salad were upside down and, like, three times as big. Yeah. Just make it the most ridiculous hat possible.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Host]

But this guy. Listen, I. I will. I will agree with him that the grass at Augusta is special. They know what they're doing. They obviously have the best greenskeepers in the world that's in charge of seeding and watering and all that stuff. I agree. But in the past, there have definitely been some spots that I think have been doctored up. This year, I didn't see as much of that, actually. I did see some. Some realism poking through at Augusta.

[Big T]

Maybe that was a scop to throw people off.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

That's what I'm saying. They know. People know.

[Host]

I got too close.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Yeah.

[Host]

Yep.

[Aryan]

What is this about the. You can't talk about the mud balls in the fairway. I saw this going around, too. Scotty says something about some mud balls, and I guess, like, you're not allowed to talk about the mud balls. Do you know anything about this?

[Host]

No.

[Aryan]

Let me look it up, because maybe I'm not.

[Big T]

I mean, I'm sure Augusta prefers. You don't talk about anything negative.

[Mad Dog McKenzie]

Is a mud ball just like, exactly what you're. It means?

[Host]

Yeah. You like?

[Aryan]

Yep.

[Host]

Hit a ball on the fairway, and it's got mud on it.

[Aryan]

So the PJ Tour. I actually didn't know this. The PJ Tour has a lift clean in place rule when there's, like, wet conditions. And I guess the Masters had wet conditions, but the Masters doesn't use that rule. They. They say play it as it lies, and that constitutes having mud balls and mud balls, Mac. And for people that don't know, it could change the trajectory and the direction of your. The flight of your ball. And so these players are the best in the world. They're very precise. Okay. If I want to hit a fade a certain amount of 5 to 10 yards, you know, more often than not, they're hitting the shot that they want to hit. And if there's mud on the ball, it can drastically change where it goes and the distance. And so I guess Augusta has a rule that says you can't. There's no lift clean in place. And. And they have, like, I guess, a rule that's saying you can't talk about it because. Because I guess it. I guess it makes the course conditions look bad, but not really. Bro. You can't control The Earth control the Earth's conditions. That's a little. That's a little.

[Host]

That's a little while. Yeah, but you can't talk about it.

[Big T]

Nope.

[Host]

All right, do we have any other voicemails? Okay. Any other topics we want to get into before we call it a day? Then we'll be back on April 16th for you guys. I know that tomorrow, as you listen to this, April 15th, new commander's uniforms coming out, 10:00am Eastern.

[Aryan]

We had some Milwaukee ones come out. I ain't hate them like the fans.

[Host]

Oh, the city connect.

[Aryan]

Yeah, city connect Jones. I ain't really hate them like that, but I was looking at some of the comments on the gram and people wasn't really feeling them like that. I didn't mind them. I thought they like.

[Big T]

Do you see the Braves? Go look at the Braves. Search Braves City Connect. They're sweet. I didn't love them at first, but once I saw them on the field, they look.

[Aryan]

I'm a fan of anything in baby blue. Yeah, this hard this year. Hard. To me it's, it's hard pressed to find something in baby blue that I'm not going to like. And this, this kind of jacking the old. Not jacking, but playing off the old school jones like when.

[Big T]

Yeah, they, they wore that color Hank Aaron like in the 80s they wore that like Dale Murphy that era.

[Aryan]

But yeah, yeah, I like, I like this. Yeah, this is your heart.

[Host]

Yeah, I like the, the Braves I thought were really good. I thought the Royals were terrible, awful, royal, disgusting, absolutely garbage. Padres, not bad. But San Diego can do anything they want. That's the thing about the Padres. It's like if you live in San Diego, you can put whatever you want in the uniform. And I'll be like, oh, yeah, that's kind of cool.

[Aryan]

Oh, the Royals, it's like I see what they were going for.

[Big T]

No, the gradient doesn't work.

[Aryan]

No, I don't, I don't. I'm never a fan of Great. When, when the Falcons had that, I was like the worst uniforms in the league history. I hate great gradient is dog.

[Big T]

They also only wore that like two or three games and one of them was when Todd Gurley made the dumbest play in the history of the NFL. Do you remember this bold statement?

[Host]

No.

[Big T]

The Falcons were up 1 with like a minute something to go in the red zone. And there's Audi, I guess Matt Ryan or somebody was miked up and in the huddle he goes, okay, Todd, if you get the first down, do not score. I think the Lions had no timeouts left. He's like, do not score. And Todd Gurley waltzes into the end zone. And then the Lions went down. I believe it went to overtime. And then the Lions won.

[Aryan]

Oh, I do remember that now.

[Big T]

And he got to the one and tried to stop himself, and he just kind of like, fell into the end zone.

[Host]

I remember that game.

[Aryan]

I mean.

[Host]

Yep.

[Aryan]

You condition your whole life to score. It's hard to turn it off sometimes. I give them grace.

[Host]

Did you ever find yourself in that situation area at the end of a game?

[Aryan]

No, we never. That never happened to me. No, Never happened to me.

[Host]

Would you have those conversations, though, where it's like, hey, we don't want to score here?

[Aryan]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's the professionals. They. They know every. Every situation. Every. Ned's all practice, it's all talked about, but we just never had that. That situation.

[Host]

But, yeah, we got. I. I was shocked. I was shocked to remember that the draft is coming up in just, what, a week and a half?

[Aryan]

The military draft?

[Host]

Maybe that, too. Yeah, possibly. Maybe that, too. But, Aaron, I don't know that I've ever asked you what you did.

[Aryan]

I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go undrafted in that one, too.

[Host]

God damn. I don't know that I've ever asked you what you did on draft weekend. Like, if you. If you sat around thinking that you might get selected. No.

[Aryan]

Yeah, I did, because they said they had me going from second to fourth, and so I thought I was gonna get drafted. Knew the first day was probably out of the possibility, but for sure I thought I was gonna go. Second day, third round, it was. Thought I was gonna slip to the third round. We had a whole bunch of the family in Arizona where I was training at the time. And so all my family came out to Arizona and we were just gonna have a good little. Good little get together. We didn't really do anything the first day because we probably knew it wasn't going to be the first day. And so the second day came and it just got real dreary and shit. And so my. My stepdad took all the kids to. I think there's a baseball game going on at the time. And she. He took them all because it was getting, like, sad and.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

And it just. They went on and it was just like, is what it is. My dad came up to me, said, well, son, there's always the Canadian League. I said, we're gonna get the.

[Host]

Out of my. He's trying to be supportive.

[Big T]

You might have been a Top five pick in the cfl.

[Aryan]

Oh, I'd have killed it out there. Yeah, I'd have killed it out there.

[Host]

Shields are longer too. You would. Had more yards.

[Aryan]

More than likely, yeah. More than likely. Yeah. No, but everything worked out, man.

[Big T]

It was only two days then, right. So at least. At least you didn't have a third day because then that would have true to come back again.

[Aryan]

And I forgot to tell him there's. So I'm planning another tournament. I got invited again to the next pro tournament, which is at PGA National Florida next week. And so I'm prepping for that. And one of the dudes that did really good was Ryan Suckup, I think. Yes. Ryan Suckup. Ryan Suckup was a kicker. And if I'm not correct, let me.

[Big T]

He was Mr. Irrelevant. I think he was the last kicker.

[Aryan]

Yes, he was Mr. Irrelevant the Year I went undrafted. So forever. I remembered his name because he was drafted. He was the last picker to drafted. He was like my last. He was the last thing I heard when it was like, all right, you're not getting drafted a kicker too.

[Host]

That's.

[Big T]

That's brutal.

[Aryan]

And he's playing. He's playing in that. In that. In that tournament.

[Big T]

Solid kicker.

[Aryan]

We playing probably. Yeah. I. I don't really follow.

[Big T]

Yeah, you hate kicker.

[Aryan]

You.

[Big T]

You must hate him.

[Aryan]

No, no, it's. It's never personal. It's never. I hope they get all max contracts and dude love. I just for the sport point this.

[Host]

Did you. Did you have multiple offers for undrafted free agent signings?

[Aryan]

Yeah, it was like a bidding war. It was between the Saints. That's when Sean Payton was there. He wanted me really bad. And I say really bad as much as you can. Undrafted free agent. But I think what happened was they knew, yo, this is a steal. It was just. I had some funny stuff going on behind. But it was between the Saints, the Texans and I think the jets all wanted me. And so I remember I originally said I was going to the Saints and then Houston offered me a little bit more money and then I was like, well, let's just look at the roster. So we. We pulled up their rosters and I think the Saints had reggie bush, Deuce McAllister.

[Big T]

Sounds right.

[Aryan]

No, no, no. And I think they had one more. They. They roster was stacked and I know they like to rotate their backs a lot. Houston had Steve Slayton, Chris Brown, Ryan Moats, which I thought I was better than all of them. And I knew the system that Houston ran. It was less of a rotational running back by committee thing. And it was more like, if you can get the spot, you got the spot. And so I was like, I'm gonna take my chances over here. And if Sean Payne called back, he was mad. I was like, you should have drafted me then. Are you mad?

[Big T]

For the 2009, Saints had Reggie Bush, Mike Bell, and Pierre Thomas. Pierre Thomas.

[Aryan]

Thomas. That's who it was. Yeah. Pierre Thomas. That's who it was. Not Deuce.

[Big T]

He led the team 800 yards.

[Host]

So. So you had, like, a. A verbal agreement with Sean Payton, and then he got upset because you got a better offer.

[Aryan]

Yeah, the offer wasn't cra. It's like they offered, like, 5,000 and the Texans offered, like, 7, 500 or something like that. But it was. It was like, you go back and forth, and at the time, coming out of college, I never seen five grand before. I ain't never seen 7, 500. You know what I'm saying? So I was like. That swayed me. But then I was like, okay, let's. Let's not get caught up in the little money thing. Let's get caught up in what option would be best for me. And clearly, Houston was the better option for me.

[Host]

Yeah, and no state income tax, either.

[Aryan]

See, I didn't even take that into consideration at the time.

[Host]

All right, well, anything else we want to get into today, guys? All right, we'll see you guys on Thursday on macrodosing. And love you guys.

[Aryan]

Love you, too, man.

[Big T]

Goodbye,

[Aryan]

Sat.
