Episode Overview

In this episode, the Macrodosing crew tackles the highly anticipated release of the government’s UFO/alien files, probing whether any real secrets have been revealed, and what the government might still be hiding. The team debates alien technology skepticism, speculates on why high-quality evidence remains so elusive, and digresses into topics ranging from “ball maxing,” LeBron’s potential retirement, legendary baseball manager Bobby Cox, to OpenAI drama and hot yoga. Signature Macrodosing banter and wide-ranging conspiracy curiosity drive the conversation.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. UFO Files Disappointment & Government Secrecy

• General Reaction (03:11 - 07:25)
  The much-awaited UFO documents failed to deliver conclusive proof of aliens, leaving the crew underwhelmed.

  • Aaron: “Not that I'm disappointed. It's just that, you know, I...so want there to be life out there. But there's just nothing, nothing of significance that I saw.” (03:11)
  • Big T theorizes that much of the “alien technology” might actually be secret military projects:

    “We like the fact that people think we've been in touch with aliens, because then it makes our military seem more advanced. ... Other countries think we've captured a couple aliens or their spacecraft, so they have to spend a lot of money to try to catch up.” (03:36)

  • Arian brings up military whistleblowers’ reluctance, referencing Rep. Tim Burchett’s account of pilots being discouraged from speaking out by threats of psych evaluations (04:39).

• Elusive Evidence
  Frustration with lack of clear footage despite advanced military tech.

  • Arian: “Seems like useful technology on these $700 million planes. Can we not just attach a GoPro somewhere?” (06:07)
  • Big T: “If it's one of the brand new planes that's designed to be as stealthy as possible...having a camera on the outside would make it less stealthy.” (06:57)

[Big T]

Okay, I got a few things.

[Aaron]

Yeah, get the out of here.

[Arian]

It is described.

We got a little itty bitty dosing today, and it is May 12th. I'm excited to be back in the studio with you guys. And ladies and gentlemen, we got aliens. We finally got the alien files that we all have been clamoring for. So congratulations to us. We've seen them, we've seen. We learned a lot. They turned it all over. The aliens are here kind of. I don't know. There's not, There are actually really no new evidence of anything, just files.

[Aaron]

Not that I'm disappointed. It's just that, you know, I just, I, I, I so want there to be life out there. But there's just nothing, nothing of significance that I saw. I didn't scour over all of it, but I looked at it a good bit. I didn't see much.

[Arian]

Are y' all of the opinion that the government has information that they're not turning over or that we just don't have that much to begin with?

[Big T]

I think that there's information that they're not turning over, but it might not be like smoking gun stuff about, yeah, we've got aliens. Here's where they are, here's what they look like. I do think that there's been a lot of stuff that we've said as alien technology that we like. Everything's so siloed when it comes to, like, the Defense Department and the different branches of the military. We've got technology that we're working on as a government. And then some people don't know about that technology. And so they see it and they're like, what is that? And it's experimental stuff that we're developing on our own. But we also like the fact that people think that we've, that we've been in touch with aliens, because then it makes us in our military seem like, I don't know, we're a little bit more advanced that we're able to detect these aliens or that maybe we've, we've captured a couple aliens or that we've captured, captured their spacecraft and we're working on. They're like extreme technology. I think we like other countries thinking that we've got all that stuff that we're working on because then the have to spend a lot of money to try to catch up with the technology that we might have.

[Arian]

That's what I think the Only as you all know, I'm not a, I'm not an alien guy. The only thing that gives me pause is I was listening to Representative Tim Burchett on Joe Rogan the other day and he's a, he's a massive alien guy. And he, that he talks about the meetings he's had with military personnel who claim to have seen things that are impossible and then they can't say anything because then they get, they, they have to get a psych evaluation and then they get discharged from the military and all this. So, so that's the only thing that gives me a bit of pause.

[Big T]

Yeah, yeah.

[Arian]

This is a classic. Yeah. We're going to give you the info on the UFOs and it's these. Do we not have. What are these cameras on these planes? The radar. How do we not have.

[Big T]

You're talking about like the targeting pods that pick up on things sometimes. Yeah, yeah. So they're designed to not be like high definition cameras. They're designed for, for targeting laser systems

[Arian]

pick up like a heat signal.

[Big T]

So. Yeah, yeah. So if you're like flying in an F18 Hornet, we're talking, now we're talking wing, the targeting pod is designed to like find a heat signal or something that's moving on the ground and then you can target it with that and you can lock like a laser guided bomb onto it with that targeting pod. Okay, so like in Top Gun, Top Gun two, where they go over the top of the mountain, one guy's got to lock up that thing on the ground with the targeting pod and then the other person hits the bomb release that goes down. It follows that targeting.

[Arian]

I understand. Seems like useful technology on these 700 million dollar planes. Can we not just attach a GoPro somewhere? Like, I mean we, we can, we got. Somebody's got to be able to figure that out some.

[Big T]

I mean the spy planes do have very, very like high definition cameras. But yeah, we don't have like our military planes aren't flying around with like a Panasonic HVX attached to a wing, but they could. But what would be the point of that? This, if you just in case you

[Arian]

see the plane already costs $700 million.

[Big T]

You're thinking like a dash cam, like, like, like the Russian dash cam footage that we have that seems to be in high definition everywhere.

[Arian]

Yeah. You can watch a drone kill somebody.

[Big T]

Yeah, but we should have. Okay. Yeah, listen, I'm not opposed to it.

[Arian]

Yeah. I just, it doesn't seem very cost prohibitive.

[Big T]

The other problem with that is like if it's one of the brand new planes that's designed to be like as stealthy as possible. Having a, having a camera on the outside that's not built into like the airframe would be something that radar would bounce off of and it would make it less stealthy.

[Arian]

Build it into the airframe. I don't know what that means. Just do it.

[Big T]

Okay. All right, we'll see what we can do about that for you. We still don't have anything. Yeah, it's a big, big nothing burger that came out.

[Aaron]

Yeah, and you could do both though, can't you? You put a GoPro right by the super secret laser guided tracking scissors or whatever. The. Put a GoPro right by it.

[Big T]

Yeah, you could. I just don't know that it would zoom in because those laser guided things, they, they zoom in pretty far. But I know what you're saying.

[Aaron]

We can get a zoom in camera. We got, we have a, a damn satellite that has been traveling hundreds of thousands of miles away from Earth. We can get a goddamn camera. But again, I don't think they think there's anything out there. That's what I think.

[Big T]

Wait, you don't think that the government thinks that there's anything out there?

[Aaron]

I don't think the government thinks we've been visited.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Aaron]

That would be the single most important discovery in human history, bar none. And we have put zero dollars to it. I want to say zero, maybe. No, we haven't, have we?

[Big T]

Well, no, we've put money to it. We set up that entire like satellite dish farm out in the desert, the SETI or whatever, to try to find, try to find extraterrestrial radio signals. True.

[Aaron]

Okay, take that back. Very little resources we've allocated to it because I don't think they think we're being visited at any, any, any high rate or anything like that. It's, it's not like a, it's not a higher priority list, which makes me think this. We're not being.

[Big T]

We're also, I don't think we're using our technology to try to find the stuff that they're sending to us, like the radio signals. Like, assuming that aliens in a distant galaxy are, They've come up with like the exact same radio technology that we came up with, like in parallel, but like, but millions of light years away. What if they, what if aliens have music? What if they've got like a thousand years of recorded music that they can send to us? That would be awesome, wouldn't it?

[Aaron]

That would, that would be fire Because I mean, it is. I mean, this, this universe, although vast in materials and elements, it's all made up of pretty much the same shit. So it's likely that they communicate in a similar way. Some kind of vibration that we'll be able to pick up, albeit sound waves, light waves, radio waves. There's only so many ways that we are aware of anyway. You're right, but. Whole bunch of that. We don't know. Dark matter, dark energy, which is so.

[Big T]

But Aaron, you and I kind of. We think the same way when it comes to like, AI AI generated music which is like, get that out of here. But what if it was aliens? And aliens, they're like trying to reach us and we discover an alien civilization and they've got, you know, like the last 300 years, their music that we start listening to is generated by the alien version of AI that they came up with. When we first got it, we would just be like, this is alien music. Like, aliens made this music. And we'd probably be like, this is pretty cool. But when we do it, I'd be like, this sucks.

[Aaron]

Naturally. I think there's a reason for that though, because that would still be a. Foreign cultures take on their experience of the universe. Right. Ours is, is not. Ours is our culture. And we know that this AI is just hijacking real artists and. And experiences. So I would be.

[Big T]

Which is an accurate representation of the human experience on Earth. Right.

[Aaron]

Touche. I. I've. I've been on record saying I don't. There's not a real rational reason that I don't like AI. It's. It's kind of irrational, but it's still there. I think it's the human. Like, I just don't like that shit. And that's what it boils down to. I don't have like a big reason why. Guess I don't like that. I think human should be human. I think alien shit should be alien. But I don't know. The board comes along and they say, this is our. This is our entertainment. I'm going. I'm going to tap. It's like. It's like Kanye. I might not like it, but I'm gonna tap in and see what's poppin.

[Arian]

Okay, guys, it's Grit Week.

[Big T]

This is the part of the football

[Arian]

calendar where nobody's watching. But everything gets built. Early mornings, pads back on conditioning, film reps. Spring training in football is all about putting in the work when nobody's cheering yet. And honestly, that's the same mindset behind the Chevy Silverado. This is a truck that is the definition of grit. Long days, dirty work, and showing up day after day, no matter the conditions. Strong, dependable, and built for the grind. Because grit isn't about being flashy and it's about being ready when it's time to go. Check out the current offers and build your [e-mail]. that's Silverado. All grit, no quit. And you can build your [e-mail] today.

[Big T]

Yeah, we got some other stuff in the news this week.

[Arian]

I. Something has just crossed my desk that is not on the sheet because I just found out about it and I would posit. Arian, you said the most important discovery in human history would be if aliens visited us. I think this tops that.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Arian]

Are we familiar with ball maxing?

[Big T]

Ball maxing?

[Arian]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

Ball.

[Big T]

Is it what I think it might be?

[Arian]

It's. It's pretty inherent in the name. Yeah.

[Big T]

Does it have to do with testicles?

[Arian]

Yes.

[Big T]

So it's seeing how big you can get your balls.

[Arian]

That's correct.

[Big T]

Okay. All right, cool.

[Arian]

Apparently the Aryan. We've talked about the looks maxing crowd. I guess many of these young lads are now injecting saline into their scrotum to make their balls larger.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Arian]

And that is discuss.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Aaron]

Again, they gave him bbls football.

[Arian]

That's what it seems.

[Big T]

I got a few things. It is described Brazilian ball lift.

[Arian]

It is described in a Fox News headline as, quote, electrifying, addictive, euphoric and transcendental.

[Big T]

Okay. All right.

[Arian]

So now for the record, Fox News isn't saying that they got that quote from somewhere. Just to be clear.

[Big T]

Now I've got like three things that I'm thinking about this. Number one, I think this is like, this is Fox News seeing something that like two people are doing. And this is like, this is a great headline. If, if we can write an article and have. Have this article on our website.

[Arian]

This is several places, but.

[Big T]

Yeah, but I think if you trace that far enough, I think you'd find that it's not a large amount of people that are doing the ball maxing.

[Arian]

It's on Forbes, by the way.

[Big T]

Yeah, but still all these websites, they work the same way, which is like we need a trend to get clicks off of.

[Arian]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Here's a brand new thing that, that kids are doing. It's probably like five people that. That are doing this. So that's my first thought. My second thought on this is seems dangerous. And then my third thought on this is this is the. It's really stupid to do it not, you know, set aside all the medical reasons and health reasons, why it's probably bad for you, but also all it's going to do is make your dick look smaller. If you got giant, if you got giant balls, it doesn't matter if you

[Aaron]

got a hog telling on yourself.

[Big T]

Yeah, maybe. But if Aaron, if my, if my nuts were the size of grapefruits, people would be like, that guy's hung like a twig. What's going on? It's all about, you know, aspect ratio.

[Arian]

It's funny you said grapefruit. A 57 year old man by the name of Marcus told Men's Health magazine that he's been obsessed with making his balls bigger for decades. It's a quote passion he thinks grew out of the comic books he'd read as a child. By his own measurements, his scrotum is bigger than a mango at 14 and a half inches too big. He has managed to grow it that size by injecting a surgical lubricant called Surgalube.

[Big T]

Yep.

[Arian]

He said, I'm astonished at how flexible the testicles are. They just expand.

[Big T]

Yep.

[Arian]

Sir, there's a company out there called Sergio Lube. I feel like that's bearing the lead a little bit.

[Big T]

Yeah. I guess you need lubricant for, for a lot. I've been watching the pit. You need. You got to get in some places sometimes.

[Arian]

I don't think you. I wouldn't want to be. Have Sergio Lube. I feel like that's too trivial of a name for something that important.

[Big T]

Yeah, you want like Lube rx.

[Arian]

I prefer if lube wasn't in the name.

[Big T]

All right. Yeah. What about Glide?

[Arian]

I was just gonna say Sergio Glide.

[Big T]

Sergio Glide. That's a great name, actually. That's a great name. Yeah, I, I think that again, going back, these guys have body dysmorphia again. They're just obsessed with, with ruining a part of their. But like, how big is too big? Is there, is there a prize? I don't know, is there like a convention that the guys, these guys have.

[Arian]

Would you rather inject surgical glide into your balls or hammer and chisel your jaw with a. Is it a bone Hammer? Is that what they call it?

[Big T]

I think probably hammer and chisel my jaw because with that one it's. You're just like kind of hitting your face. You're not, I don't think you're technically like shattering anything or doing permanent damage.

[Arian]

I think they try to maybe, but

[Big T]

yeah, I, when it comes to injecting something into my balls. I'm out.

[Arian]

Yeah, sorry, I just had to. To interject there about ball maxing.

[Aaron]

Yep. Coulda. Coulda done without that one.

[Arian]

But hey, if I had to see it.

[Big T]

So in sports, winning takes more than talent. It takes strength, reliability, and the drive to go the distance. Sound familiar? That's the same DNA you'll find in a Chevy Silverado. As capable and dependable as a winning team. Chevy Silverado shows up, it gets the job done. It won't flinch when the pressure's on. It doesn't take plays off, it comes to trucks. Chevy Silverado is football guy approved. To learn more About Silverado, visit chevy.com hey, mad@ it. We do have a hantavirus update. The hantavirus we've got now. French national, We've got an American national that have tested positive. I think the American is not symptomatic, but is. Is definitely testing positive. They're. We've got 17Americans that are quarantining in Omaha, Nebraska right now. This does sound. Just the fact that we've got 17Americans quarantining in Omaha does sound like the start of, like an apocalypse movie, Right? That's probably where they would be quarantined.

[Arian]

Omaha is too specific.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian]

By the way, it said, I believe, 42 days, they're going to be quarantined in Omaha. I don't know if people know this. In about 30 days, a lot of people going to be going to Omaha for an event they have there in the summer.

[Big T]

Is this a plot to take out the sec?

[Arian]

I don't know.

[Big T]

Yeah. Oh, stay away from those, those jello shots. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The College World Series is gonna be there. How's Tennessee looking, by the way?

[Arian]

We have stunk most of the year, but we just beat number four Texas in a series, so we're. We're trending upwards. We're gonna be in the tournament.

[Big T]

Okay. How much, how much college baseball do you watch over the course of a year?

[Arian]

It depends how good we are. This year, I have watched 20 of our games.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Arian]

As opposed to. In a year that we were top five in the country. I'd watch every single one.

[Big T]

Okay?

[Arian]

But I, I watch. I watch more than 99 of sports fans.

[Big T]

I would agree with that.

[Aaron]

Speaking of which, I got, you know, so I got back to watching my brewers, right? So it was a lazy weekend. And, you know, like, like Connor said on a text, you know, say we needed a little spark. So I decided to tune in. You know, I decided to tune in and it just so happened when I tune in, we sweep the Yankees. I'm not saying it's because of me. I'm just saying this is an odd coincidence. That's all I'm saying.

[Arian]

Could be the spark they needed, could

[Aaron]

be the spark we needed. Miz was on the mound, too. I had no idea. I was just like, all right, let me catch a Brewers game. I had no idea what was going on. And Miz, he got probably the highest praise a pitcher can get. The best hitter of this generation. After the game, he says, that's the best fastball I've ever seen. That's what he said about. So, yeah, I hope we can lock the little man's down.

[Arian]

Are you aware that in the first inning of that game, I believe he threw the five fastest pitches in major league history?

[Aaron]

I am. Afterwards, I wasn't aware during. But afterwards, I saw the stat that the.

[Big T]

The brewers, how fast were they?

[Arian]

Which is 103.5 or something? They were 103. Wow. And then he had.

[Aaron]

I mean, man's is. Man's is insane. Like, he's. He's cold. He's like that. And this was his better. Usually last year, when he would be like, it wasn't to the playoffs, or they let him spend like four or five innings. Like, after like, two to three innings, he was kind of like, all right, it's probably time to sitting. You know, he would probably give up. Give up the booty a little bit. He went like, five, six innings. And so it's my first time seeing this. I don't know that they did this the whole year, but, I mean, that's. That's heavy. And he was. He was throwing that thing. So, you know, young man's is growing. I like to see it. Love it.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian]

You back in?

[Aaron]

I'm back, yeah. I mean, I never left.

[Big T]

It's just busy.

[Aaron]

When you grind in your golf game, it's just like life gets in the way, dog. You know what I'm saying? I'm a five handicap.

[Big T]

Wow.

[Arian]

I love that.

[Aaron]

I point eight, but, yeah.

[Big T]

You round down. Do you always round down on the handicap? Do you round down on the handicap? Well, clearly, yeah. Did you see the number five? I actually think that's the more honest way to do it.

[Aaron]

Cracking that. Hey, when I see five, I'm a five. Or just leave it at six then. You know what I'm saying? Don't tell me I'm a five point nothing, Rob. That's what I am.

[Big T]

I. I do think that that's probably the most honest way to do it. Because if you're playing against somebody, then you're. And you're calling yourself a five. Then if anything, you'd be punishing yourself by rounding down.

[Aaron]

If we. You're right. If, if we're actually playing and, and people ask for strokes and I'll say 5.8 and then you can calculate it as need be. Like, we. We got another turn. So it's a group of like 10, 15 brothers in Houston. We, we get together for every major and we play this big tournament. And so the PGA is coming up, so we're playing the PGA one. So we just did the Masters and we, and we do it by, by handicaps so everybody has a fair shot because we got some dudes that's in there. Scratch, two, three. And so it makes it fair for everybody. But if I'm ever baiting somebody one on one, I don't ever ask for strokes. I don't care. What. That's just me though, okay? I don't like strokes. Hot take.

[Big T]

We are. We're also getting update. Last week we were talking about Danny Woodhead trying to qualify for the US Open.

[Aaron]

Oh yeah? How my man.

[Big T]

So he, he finished one stroke out of qualifying for the next round. That. Which means that he is the first alternate. So if one person can't make it, Danny's going to be playing in there.

[Aaron]

So it's still pretty, you know. You know what we got to do. You know what we got to do. Me and you.

[Big T]

Tanya Harding.

[Aaron]

We gotta go. Tanya Harding.

[Big T]

I. I asked him, like, who do you want me to beat up Danny? Who do you want me to. To delay? Somehow I'm not above doing something and like, I'm not going to get into details of what I can do.

[Aaron]

But hey, happens every day.

[Big T]

I always say that.

[Aaron]

Happens every day. So it's a wild world out there. You know what I mean?

[Big T]

I always say that.

[Aaron]

Shout out to him, though. That's a hell of an accomplishment, man. Like, I know I haven't been playing that long, but I know the mental grind and the grind it takes to constantly improve your game and then, and then do it in a competitive setting. That's. It's not an easy thing to do. So shout out to. Shout out to him. I don't know him, but like, respect my way.

[Arian]

Arian. I played my first round this year on Saturday. I'm sending you a picture right now. This was a 290 yard par four, and I hit the ball to within about four feet of the hole. Now don't ask if I made the ensuing putt, but I did get a birdie on that hole. I don't know if. I don't know if we're going to be able to get Brandon Walker in here. We thought we might, but he's recording mostly sports. We'll. We'll put it in later if we do. But he wanted to complain about something, and I want to hear what you all think about this because I know what he was going to complain about.

[Big T]

You do? Yeah. Okay.

[Arian]

100%. We had a great time out there playing golf.

[Aaron]

He.

[Arian]

So on the. The first or second hole, he had a putt that was. It was a gimme. It was two or three feet.

[Big T]

Will said. Or Brandon said, 18 inches could be okay.

[Arian]

And I was. And I said. I said, are you not gonna knock that in? He was like, no, why would I? And I said, I. I didn't whack the ball all the way down here to not put it in the hole. I always hit. I need. I want to hear it hit the hole. That's the whole point. I could whack it around in my yard all day and not need to be on a golf course. So I don't understand people hitting the ball all the way down there and then just picking it up. I like to see it go in the hole. So he took that to mean, like, I am demanding you hit the ball in the hole. I don't care. Do whatever you want. So then for the rest of the round, he was putting everything out and missing what he would have just picked up. So he got mad at me because I said, I like to hit it in the hole because I. I like to hear the. I like to hear it go down in the hole.

[Big T]

It's a good. Yeah, yeah. It's a great, great impression.

[Arian]

Right? And then he got mad at me, like I was the one. Like, I did something.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian]

So that's what he. That's what he's upset about.

[Aaron]

Oh, yeah. I would. I would love for him to come in here because. Yeah, because the thing about that is, like. So when I first got introduced to golf, it was probably like a year and a half in I got introduced to golf. I started golfing with these cats and they was like, you know, I was looking like, you know, I had like a two foot, three foot, whatever the case may be, and I was looking like, it's good. And they was like, nope, gotta sit. We play golf. Not gimme. That's what they say. You know what I'm saying?

[Arian]

Hell, yeah.

[Aaron]

A Lot of us is like, friendly stuff, but like, we bet all the time. And so when there's money on the line, like, nah, I gotta see that shit, put that shit in. Because what you'll find a lot of times is it'll be especially the downhill putts. I'll never give a downhill putt. I don't give a fuck how close it is. Cause people fuck that shit up all the time. And to me, that's the most. It's the most intricate part of the game. It'll make or break you. And that tests people's games. And this is why I don't believe anybody's handicap until I see it. I done play with plus two, scratch three, whatever the case may be. And when you see them play, you'd be like, you pick up a lot of putts, don't you? Yeah. Cause when you start to make them putt it out, that'll be an extra three or four strokes throughout the round, maybe four or five. Like. And that'll change your score, It'll change your headcap if you don't. You. You gotta make people put.

[Arian]

And I wasn't even saying it like that. I was just telling him, like, I didn't hit eight shots right here, down here to not see it go in the hole. That's the whole point.

[Aaron]

I agree. I'm the same way. I'm like, I'm gonna finish the. I'm even, like, even when people try to give it to me, I'm still gonna finish it out. Like, what's the. I don't understand the point of it. Like, what's the point? You know what I'm saying? Unless the only the way that makes sense is if, if this is a friendly game and it's on a Saturday Sunday, and the course is packed and people are waiting. Go and pick, go and pick up the two footer. We're good, let's go. And you're trying to, you trying to, you know, move the regime.

[Big T]

Do you ever put out, like, somebody says, that's good, and then you step up and try to hit it anyways. And then what if you miss that?

[Aaron]

Like I said, it depends on what's happening. Like, if it's a money game, we, we rarely say it's good, but if we do, it's. If it's good, it's good. You don't even. You just pick it up. Because if you miss it, they'll be like, ah, I gave it to you, but you putted it out. So that's your score. So if you do that just for the strength, like, it was. It was good. More oftentimes than I would say, 89, 90% of the time, if you. If you was to mark it, set it up, line it up, take your time, you would make it. But because you're standing over tapping it in, that's where you lose it. But, yeah.

[Big T]

Cause you're not, like, again, you're not treating it like a real putt.

[Aaron]

Yeah. And so that's why we always say, like, there'll be guys that'll walk up to. To. To. To just put it in to. Let's, like, tap it in. And we'd be like, hey, man, take your time. Take your time. That means market. Take your time. Because if you miss it, stroke is what it is. It's fun playing like that, but I get. I get people that just, you know.

[Big T]

Yep.

[Aaron]

Different strokes, literally.

[Big T]

Yeah. It's interesting because Brandon came up to me, he was just like, big T doesn't do gimmes. No gimmes.

[Arian]

I don't. For myself. But that's because it's. It's. It's the opposite of what you would think. It's not like, I'm trying to beat you. I need to see you make that putt. It's. I'm so bad at golf that I didn't spend 15 minutes hitting it out of the rough to get down here to not see it go in.

[Big T]

There are sometimes. Yeah, if. Sometimes you'll be playing around in the first, like, three or four holes, you'll end up just, like, I don't know, six inches from the cup after your last shot. And then you haven't actually seen a ball go in the hole.

[Arian]

Right.

[Big T]

It's been, like an hour, and you're like, I would just like to see a ball go.

[Arian]

Exactly. I see it go in on every single hole.

[Big T]

Yeah, I get that.

[Aaron]

And so. So yours is not nefarious. It's more like, nah, dog, I just want to.

[Arian]

Yeah. No, I wasn't. I. And I didn't tell him, like, you need to put that out. I was like, oh, you don't. You don't care if you see it go in. That was my thing.

[Aaron]

You know what that is? That's projection. That was. That was his own conscious.

[Arian]

Yeah. And then he's mad about it. You were just like, I don't care.

[Aaron]

I'm with you now. We got to say it. We got to be like, gotta see it. I'm nefarious. I want to see that go in. Be. Be you cheating Yourself.

[Arian]

Right. And he wouldn't be mad if he made those three foot putts the rest of the round. It was that he missed them and he was blaming it on me.

[Aaron]

100. This is your score. Take, as we say, take. Take your time, player. Take your time.

[Arian]

Very appreciative of Brandon having me out to his club, though. Very nice.

[Big T]

Yeah, it was nice.

[Arian]

Yeah. You got to go out there.

[Aaron]

Hey, when I. When I pull up to your wedding, right. This is your last golf round before you're incarcerated.

[Arian]

Incarcerated.

[Aaron]

I was just joking. I'm joking.

[Arian]

Yes. Yes. When I will play golf, that will very likely be the last time I play golf before I am married. Yes.

[Aaron]

Yeah. Last golf. Last golf is a free man. Where we got to do it. We got to do it, big man. Where we're doing it, I don't know.

[Arian]

That course we played last time is supposed to be like one of the nicest in Chicago. I think Cog Hill is the other one that people talk about being really good.

[Aaron]

That's the one. It's like one of the number one public courses.

[Big T]

It's hard.

[Arian]

Well, but there's like the one that they've played PGA Tour events at. That one's not for t. Now, I guess. I guess we're doing it. Me and you. That's fine.

[Aaron]

We can do our.

[Big T]

Because.

[Arian]

But they have. They have multiple.

[Aaron]

There's what I'm saying. At the time when we did our break 80 series, I had never even broken 80 before. So I don't know. We had no business doing that.

[Arian]

Right.

[Aaron]

I've broken 80 plenty of times now. Now it's like, you know, it's a legit, like, venture. We could. We could. We could. We could. We could do damage right now.

[Arian]

Yeah, I'm down for whatever you want.

[Aaron]

Set it up, Cog Hill, because I think you have to book it like, two, three weeks in advance.

[Arian]

I'm sure.

[Aaron]

Yeah, I'll get my assistant on it.

[Arian]

All right.

[Big T]

Maybe get you guys out to Medina.

[Arian]

I'm not familiar with her work.

[Big T]

Medina. Medina is a golf course. Hosted a Ryder Cup.

[Aaron]

Wow.

[Big T]

Hosted. It's hosting. It's hosting, I believe, the President's cup this year. Yeah, you trying.

[Aaron]

You trying. You trying to pull up to me and Big Tz. Let's try to.

[Big T]

What day are you going to do it?

[Aaron]

We're going to do it Wednesday. Let's do. Let's do a break par. All three of us.

[Arian]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Okay, I'm down.

[Aaron]

Hell, yeah. Unless you cool with that?

[Arian]

Of course.

[Aaron]

I don't want to just assume you're cool to hang out with Eric like that.

[Arian]

Yeah, yeah, I've.

[Aaron]

We've.

[Arian]

We've hung out outside of work at

[Big T]

least once socially before.

[Arian]

Between one and five times.

[Aaron]

You guys know each other's favorite beverage of choice?

[Arian]

I mean, y' all know mine. His. But see, he does all this. He's. See, here's. Here's the problem with Eric.

[Aaron]

Arian, Big T. Yours is high noon, right?

[Arian]

Oh, that was good. See, he does these wacky little bits. Oh, I'm so zany. And then you never know what's real and what isn't. So he drinks. So he goes out and drinks Malort, and you don't know, like, does he actually like that or does he just. Is he doing a bit?

[Big T]

I'll drink a shot of Malort any day. Yeah. Kind of wakes you up a little bit.

[Arian]

It's a Chicago thing. It's repulsive.

[Big T]

You wouldn't like it.

[Arian]

Malort, its whole brand is like, look how disgusting this is. You gotta try it.

[Big T]

Yeah, it's meant to kind of weed out the phonies.

[Aaron]

You ain't a real alcohol.

[Arian]

It's like, Arian, Arian, you go. You go to Disney World. You know that drink at the. The thing at Epcot where they're like, oh, you got to try this. It's the Italian soda or whatever, and it's disgusting. That's the whole brand of Malort.

[Aaron]

You know, it was kind of like that to me. Also, the butterbeer at the Harry Potter junk. Like, it's cool, but it's not the hyping.

[Arian]

I tried that once. It was just. It just tasted like you were drinking straight cane sugar.

[Aaron]

Like, yeah, butterscotch. Like, yeah, yeah. You know what is worth the hype, though? The. The cone at the how to Train youn Dragon jump. That little macaroni cone. My kids was like, we gotta get the macaroni cone. I'm like, doug, I'm not gonna eat the macaroni cone. He was like, you gotta eat the macaroni cone. I ate the macaroni cone. I went back and I Doubled.

[Arian]

What is the cone made of?

[Aaron]

I don't remember. It's like a. Some kind of bread. Like a waffle type. I don't remember exactly. Yeah, I think so. It. It was the best food I've had at a theme park.

[Arian]

A crunchy, seasoned, toasted bread cone.

[Aaron]

There you go. Yeah. Yeah. I'm telling you.

[Arian]

Yeah, it looks kind of like a. Like a sandwich roll almost.

[Aaron]

Yeah, yeah, it's a little cone. And then I had two of them shits because it was that good. It was bomb. Anyway, we. We got. We diverted. Do you know his favorite drink? Eric?

[Big T]

Yeah, he likes the Angry Orchard.

[Aaron]

Nice. Okay.

[Arian]

Of course.

[Aaron]

Okay.

[Big T]

We'll go out there, we'll play. I'm down to play. Let me see what I can find out. I'll see if I can get us set up with a good round. I do like Cog Hill, but it's very hard. Lots of trees. Me and trees don't get along.

[Arian]

I don't like trees. There is. There's one course around here. It's like a link style, no trees.

[Big T]

Yeah, it's perfect. Yeah. You talking about. Wait, are you talking about Harborside?

[Arian]

No, it's. It's not as good as that one. I forget the name of it now. It's up in the northwest, is from here.

[Big T]

Okay, I'll find us a place.

[Arian]

Yeah, yeah, you get on that.

[Big T]

I'll find us a good spot. Just. Yeah, send me. Send me that date. He said that Wednesday.

[Arian]

Yeah, June 10th.

[Big T]

Okay. All right, I on it. Let's let it rip.

[Aaron]

Yes, sir.

[Big T]

All right, we'll get back to the pie in a second. It's brought to you by Shady Rays. Shady Rays have clean, classic styles that look sharp. They don't try too hard. But Shady Rays are the best sunglasses that I wear. I just restocked on Shady Rays. I actually got these aviators. I like these aviators a lot. Big T. Look at these. You like those.

[Arian]

That's strong.

[Big T]

Yeah, the blue ones, you know, for.

[Arian]

For an aviation enthusiast like yourself.

[Big T]

It's true. You know what I like about the aviators? Ones that they have, they're no tangle, so you probably don't understand this, but for individuals with long hair, such as myself, sometimes the hair would get caught in the nose pieces. You know, the.

[Aaron]

The.

[Big T]

The comforting. I don't know what they call those in the biz, but the parts that. That stabilize the glasses on your nose.

[Arian]

It's a nose pad.

[Big T]

The nose pad. Yeah, so the hair would get caught in there. But with these Shady Rays, they've got different nose pads that make it impossible. See that?

[Arian]

Wow.

[Big T]

For the hair to get caught in. So I love these Shady Rays. They're great to wear, especially if you got long hair. I highly recommend them if you're a, a, a male with long hair or a woman. Long hair. Perfect sunglasses. Great aviators. Big T's. Got some of the red ones on.

[Arian]

Look at these. And the, the red lenses. I'm, I'm rocking the, the red and blue fit right now. That's, that's a strong look.

[Big T]

It does look good. And I, I just stocked up on Shady Rays for the summertime. They've got the best optics. They've got polarized lenses. They've got solid hinges on them.

Also in the news today that you sent over, there's a gambling credit card or like a lot like a slot machine type credit card.

[Arian]

Have you seen this?

[Big T]

I didn't see it until you sent it over. So it's, it's Tuyo is the name of the company.

[Arian]

Because by the way, every company created by a millennial, now it's required to be four letters and like a, an onomatopoeia that's never been created before.

[Big T]

Yep.

[Arian]

To Yo. Fubo. To be.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian]

Wubo.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian]

So this one is 2yo.

[Big T]

So this one is like you. It's a, it's a credit card or a debit card. Credit card, I guess.

[Arian]

Debit card.

[Big T]

I think debit card. And then sometimes when you use it to purchase stuff, they, they just randomly select purchases that won't be charged that they'll cover for you.

[Arian]

Yeah. So their commercial was like, instead of earning 1% cash back or whatever will just every once in a while you'll buy something and we'll just say it's on us. And so obviously that ad went pretty viral. And then people read the terms and conditions and it's called buy now, pay maybe. And there are no like percentages on when this happens. It's solely at their discretion.

[Big T]

It's just up to them.

[Arian]

Right?

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian]

And so they might at some point give you a $3 purchase for free.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Arian]

But people are gonna run up a balance on that. Like.

[Aaron]

Oh.

[Big T]

Because maybe the next one they're gonna pay for. Yeah. Like a slot machine.

[Arian]

So I, I guess it helps that it's a debit card and not a credit card.

[Big T]

Yeah. Because that way it's money that you,

[Arian]

at some point you'll hit zero.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian]

But yeah, it seems like something that should not be legal.

[Big T]

Yeah. Where they just like, it's like every now and again, up to their discretion, they're just going to bless you with a free purchase or something.

[Arian]

Yes.

[Big T]

And I'm guessing that the more expensive purchases that they cover will be for people that might have higher social media reach in order for those people to

[Arian]

share the high purchase at all. Yes, yes.

[Big T]

Then they'd be like, yeah, look what I got. This company is so great.

[Arian]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Yeah. So it's like a slot machine for your debit card. Not. Not a good idea. I don't think.

[Arian]

Feeling lucky. You should be. Meet the new lucky one sweet tea from Miss Peaches, the vodka drink that's positively doing good. Made with real tea and real vodka. Non carbonated, 100 calories. And here's a scoop.

[Big T]

[Arian]

[Big T]

[Arian]

to dog rescues in 2026. So if you love true sweet tea,

[Big T]

this one's a no brainer.

[Arian]

Pick up a lucky one sweet tea today and give back one can at a time.

[Big T]

Aaron, I have a question for you. Is tonight LeBron James last game

[Aaron]

anybody get swept? Huh? You should have bet me, big T. I would venture to say no. I think, I'm not saying this is why, but I think it might be a factor and I think he deserves it. I think, I think LeBron might want like a farewell tour like Kobe had, you know, like, that was one of the really dope things in sports, I remember. And I think he probably wants to go out in the same fashion. I don't know that he can just walk away like this. I think he wants to be and should be acknowledged as one of the greater humans that have seen and played this sport. And if he wants to have one little farewell season, I feel like the league and the fans deserve that. Deserve. He deserved that from them. Yeah. So I would venture to say no.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Aaron]

I'm guessing you're against the farewell.

[Big T]

No. I mean, if there's anyone that's, I think, wanted a farewell tour more, it's probably like LeBron James wants a fair. He does. But I think. Yeah. You know. You know how he is, like, with the patches this year and all that. Like, it's funny because I think he has, like, a legitimate understanding of how unprecedented what he's done has been in the game of basketball. But sometimes when you hear people have, like, an accurate understanding of their contributions, it feels like cockiness and smugness, and it comes across in, like, an arrogant way. So I don't. I don't see that with LeBron. I think he does want a farewell tour, but I. I said this on part of my take yesterday. I think that he just wants to play golf now. I think that might get in the way of his farewell tour. I think he might just be, like, full time. I just want to hit the course. I don't really want to. I don't want to. Want to put in the work and stay in shape to play basketball and be in the gym as much. I just want to be out there on the course. You know how that goes.

[Aaron]

I do. I'm currently facing that mean, he. I mean, that's the reason why I don't watch my Lakers no more.

[Big T]

He's also 41.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

I mean, that's crazy.

[Aaron]

Unprecedented NBA basketball career. Like, we not going to see this again. I don't. In my lifetime. I mean, I'm not going to see this. Like, this is. This is insane. But that's why I think he. He deserves a. A standing ovation at every arena. Yeah. Give it to him. Or maybe we can find something unique for him to send him off. I don't know. But I know when. When I did. When they did that to Kobe, you know, Warmed my heart. You know what I mean? Yeah. That man gave you great times in your life.

[Big T]

Now, what happens. What happens with Bronnie once LeBron checks out?

[Aaron]

Respectfully.

[Big T]

Yeah, Respectfully.

[Aaron]

Another Young man's son. Respectfully, I think he washes out unless Brian has some kind of hand in it. I don't know. But I, I, like, like, again, respectfully, I, I just, I think he's a solid basketball player. Do I think he's on the Lakers without LeBron? Nah, I don't think he makes the NBA, an NBA roster. But again, the one that you can't measure is a man's heart. So if that man decides to put massive amounts of work in and becomes crazy skilled and, you know, who knows what could happen. But I just, I don't see it. That's just me. I mean, who am I? I'm just a regular guy out here. Just a regular golfer, five handicap, just doing my thing.

[Big T]

I hear you.

[Aaron]

What do you think?

[Big T]

I think. I don't know. I just keep going back to the fact that he's 41 years old. That's, it's, it's crazy that he's still playing at a relatively high level in the NBA. Yeah, it's absolutely insane. I feel like at some point his body's just going to be like, dude, stop doing this to me now. Is he going to be, is he going to be a Laker next year if he does play, or is he going to go somewhere else? Because that's a possibility, too.

[Aaron]

You want him to. I don't want to see that in Cleveland. Do you?

[Big T]

I guess it'd be kind of cool.

[Aaron]

You don't, you don't think it'd be cool? I mean, sure, yeah, if that's what he wants. I, I don't, it depends. I, I, I don't care. Wherever he wants to go, if he wants to go play in Seattle, whatever.

[Arian]

Do you know that him on the Lakers is the longest stint he's had anywhere?

[Big T]

No.

[Arian]

Consecutively.

[Aaron]

That's pretty wild.

[Big T]

That is crazy.

[Arian]

He spent his first seven seasons in Cleveland. He's been there for eight.

[Big T]

Did not know that. So he got there in 2018.

[Arian]

Yeah.

[Big T]

And never won a championship.

[Arian]

Correct.

[Big T]

That's wild.

[Arian]

He's not even, he's not even listening.

[Aaron]

Wait, no, no, Yeah, I heard it. I heard it, I heard it. It's just everybody had the same playing field, man, and they came up victorious. Like, whatever you feel about it, that's a you thing. Not a, not a.

[Arian]

But you didn't celebrate that. You weren't like, we won a champion. Yeah, but it's not the NBA. It's not. It wasn't the same

[Aaron]

to you.

[Arian]

They celebrated in front of a screen with, like, Kevin Hart cheering on it. Like, it's just not the same. They. They did go win the, the tournament that they had. Absolutely.

[Aaron]

That was the tournament that the NBA provided for that year. And the Lakers came out.

[Arian]

That is actually what it is.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Hannah Montoya]

For the NBA hall of Fame. Do you. Is it like the. Or is it like the NFL where you choose what team you go in as? Like, will he go in as a

[Arian]

Laker or a. I don't think they have that.

[Hannah Montoya]

Is that a thing?

[Big T]

No, I have.

[Aaron]

I have no idea.

[Arian]

It's not even. Because it's just the National Basketball hall of Fame. It's not just the NBA. So there's like high school coaches in it.

[Hannah Montoya]

Okay, so he'll just go in as LeBron James.

[Arian]

Yeah, I think so. I don't even know. The NFL doesn't do teams. I don't think.

[Big T]

I don't think so. I think it's just baseball.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Arian]

Because you have the hat on in baseball. So they, they put a team on it if you want. By the way, speaking of the National Baseball hall of Fame, rest in peace, Bobby Cox. Tough week. Yeah, really for the Braves. Now, I don't. I hesitate to even say this because I take no joy in the passing of Ted Turner and Bobby Cox, two icons. Bobby Cox, one of my favorite guys ever. The Braves did win the World Series when Hank Aaron passed away.

[Aaron]

Right.

[Arian]

In 2021.

[Big T]

So it feels like this is a double whammy.

[Arian]

If ever there was a time to do it, it's for Ted Turner and Bobby Cox.

[Big T]

That's a double whammy.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Arian]

And by the way, tomorrow night, tonight, as people listen to this, on Tuesday, the Braves first game back at home is on TBS against the Chicago Cubs. That's pretty cool. I'm sure they'll do something for, for both of those guys, but. But yeah, rest in peace, Bobby. One of the greats. Arian. There was a story that people were telling all their favorite Bobby Cox stories, and there was one that resurfaced from Jeff Francour, who said that he got invited to play with Tiger woods at like 2 o' clock on a day that they had a spring training game at 1. And he was like, oh, sorry, man, like, I can't, I gotta play. And Bobby Cox walked up to him before the game and was like, you got invited to play with Tiger today? And he was like, yeah, but, you know, it's okay. And he goes, no, no, no. After your first at bat, when you run past first base and like grab your ankle a little bit and I'll take you out and then you can just go straight to the course and play. And so he said he grounded out, ran past first base, grabbed his ankle. Bobby Cox took him out of the game. He went into the locker room, changed, and made it to the first tee as Tiger was on the fairway. And they played 27 holes.

[Big T]

That's great.

[Aaron]

That's fire. That's hall of Fame.

[Arian]

Just for that, he was the man.

[Big T]

But he was a. I would love to know behind the scenes, like, what Bobby Cox did on a day to day basis to manage that team, because for a while, the Braves, and this isn't meant to be a knock on Bobby Cox because I think to keep that team together and keep them competitive for as long as he did is like a. It's no small feat. But that team was stacked. That team had some amazing players. And it seemed like Bobby was very good at managing all those personalities.

[Arian]

I think they all talk about that too. Like he was. Every player knew that he had their back, that he would. When they were struggling, he would call him in the office, be like, hey, like you're playing tomorrow. Like we got you. By the way, Bobby Cox, people forget this because he was a Hall of Fame manager. He was the GM of the Braves who drafted a lot of those guys and then fired the manager and hired himself.

[Big T]

I did not. Yeah, I'd forgotten that he was the

[Arian]

manager of the Braves. Ted Turner fired him in the 80s. And then they, they actually asked Ted Turner, they were like, what kind of manager are you looking for? And he said, well, if we hadn't fired him, probably somebody like Bobby Cox. Bobby Cox goes and is the manager of the Blue Jays.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Arian]

Ted Turner rehires him as the general manager. He drafts a lot of those guys that the Braves had in the 90s, and then they were. He fired. I forget the manager that he fired, but he fired the guy and then he was like, I'm the manager again. And then they won 14 straight division titles.

[Big T]

That's crazy.

[Arian]

And a World Series.

[Big T]

Okay, so, yeah, so Bobby Cox got rehired. I knew that he'd managed the Blue Jays for a little bit, and then he came back to the Braves. So he, as a gm, he acquired Tom Glavin, Steve Avery, John Smoltz, Ron Gant, David justice, and he drafted Chipper Jones. That's incredible. Yeah, What a run that guy went on.

[Arian]

And he was only the GM 86 to 90, so five years.

[Big T]

And also he's responsible for pinch hitting Francisco Cabrera, you know, game seven against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Big cat. That was. That was Bobby's call

[Arian]

or. No, no.

[Big T]

Andre Scha was the big cat. Yeah. Francisco Cabrera was a. Like a journeyman, like a pinch hitter.

[Arian]

Right.

[Big T]

And so they put him in. I forget who's pitching ground ball to left field. Barry Bonds playing way too deep. Sid bream chugs around third base running about like a 5, 341 knee and scores. That was a great game. I still remember watching that game.

[Arian]

1992.

[Big T]

Yep.

[Arian]

And then they. Who'd they lose to in that World Series? Was it the Blue Jays?

[Big T]

Blue Jays, Yeah. Yes, that was the Blue jays.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Because 91 was the twins.

[Arian]

Correct. The Twins cheated, then they lost the Blue Jays, then they beat the Indians in 95.

[Big T]

Yep.

[Arian]

Should have beaten the Yankees in 96 and lost the Yankees again in 99.

[Big T]

Yep.

[Arian]

But yeah, Bobby, one of the best to ever do it. Staple of my childhood. Sucks.

[Big T]

But legend, he won 100 games. Seeing six times. Pretty incredible.

[Arian]

Not bad.

[Big T]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 times. Yeah. In a World Series. I'm really glad he got that World Series. That would have been tough if they

[Arian]

had won for all those guys. I mean, if Smoltz and Glavin and Maddox and chipper never got one.

[Big T]

Fourteen division titles in a row. No. 1994, they finished second in. In the east, but that was a strike short.

[Arian]

They didn't finish.

[Big T]

Yeah, they didn't. Yeah. Nobody finished.

[Arian]

Correct.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Arian]

So, yeah, I guess they won 14 in a row.

[Big T]

And I think that's when the Expos. Right, the Expos. That was their year in 1994. And then the strike cut them out of the lockout. Were they.

[Arian]

Were the Braves in the east by 94?

[Big T]

Pretty sure they were. Yeah.

[Arian]

Because they were in the west for a while.

[Big T]

Yeah, I think they were. I think that might have been the season they went to the East.

[Arian]

Okay.

[Big T]

That's also crazy, is that the Braves were in the West. We don't talk about that.

[Arian]

All their road games were in LA and San Diego and Denver.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian]

Or I guess not Denver. They weren't around yet. But San Francisco. But yeah. Fourteen in a row. The Braves just won, what, six in a row? And it felt like they won it every single year. And they did that. More than doubled.

[Big T]

More than doubled.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

They were just the most dominant team. And right now it looks like the. The Cubs might be the. The hottest team in baseball. I think they are the hottest team baseball. The Braves are very good this year, too, but Cubs are on their set. It's what their second 10 game win streak of the season.

[Arian]

Had two 10 game winning streaks. Still game behind the Braves, but big series this week.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Hannah Montoya]

Hey, it's Hannah Montoya. Abercrombie's new summer drop is our latest obsession. There's tons of colorful swim flowy dresses and they just released new linen blend matching sets. Everything feels so light and breathable. It's perfect for brunch or rooftop happy hours, just like you're on vacation. Shop Abercrombie in the app, online and in stores.

[Big T]

Also in the news, University of Michigan just made a lot of money on an investment. I guess this was through their endowment. They were investing money and they put $20 million into the first round of OpenAI, the Sam Altman Elon Musk company. And that 20 million became $2 billion.

[Arian]

Yeah.

[Big T]

So congrats to the University of Michigan.

[Arian]

I don't know if any money from the endowment makes its way over to the athletic department, but even if they gave them just a little slice of

[Big T]

that, I think it's probably also, you know, less money that the university will need to ask for from other sources for anything else, which makes it better for the athletic department.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Have you been following the Open AI. The. The lawsuit with Elon?

[Arian]

No.

[Big T]

Have you followed it at all? Aaron?

[Aaron]

Did he. I think so. Did he. He sued Sam Altman in them. If I'm not. Okay. Yeah, I mean, I haven't followed, but I'm aware of it.

[Big T]

I just. I need to know Spill to spill the Earl Gray. Well, I don't know. I don't know that much about it, but we need to. We should probably read up on it a little bit because I feel like it's two of the most powerful people in the world going at each other in court. From what I understand, Elon is pissed at Sam Altman because he decided to make it no longer a nonprofit and steer away from the original mission of the company. But also, Elon is kind of full of shit about most things. I think that. I hope that both sides lose, if that's possible. Yeah. Because from what I've read about Sam Altman, Sam Altman is not a great guy, to put it mildly. Kind of like a swindler. And now he's got all these people and all these, like, I don't know, he.

[Arian]

All.

[Big T]

All these, like, communities angling to now give him money. You know how we. We pay for billionaire stadiums through subsidies. He's got now different places in the United States, like, fighting to give him land and money to build data centers in their Backyards, which is actually, I'm starting to see the tides turn a little bit on that. I feel like people are now starting to become anti data center. Yeah. So yeah, in, in 2015, they started OpenAI together and then Elon left and then Open AI started working with Microsoft. And then Elon was pissed off because he was like, you should have been a non profit. That's what our mission was. But now you're trying to make money off of it. And then Elon sued Open AI. He sued Sam Altman. And then Open AI is saying that Elon's wrong and Elon supported the same business uses that we are trying to steer into. And he's just upset because he's not with the company anymore. And I'm sure that there's some behind the scenes petty stuff like hiring each other's engineers to try to make their own products better. And so then that leads to bad blood. Now they hate each other, now they want to put each other out of business. Yeah. I don't know if he left the company. What? I guess it all depends on the, the, the agreement that they had ahead of time and the agreement when he left the company because I'm sure that he forfeited some of his, some of his options back to the company. He probably did that in exchange for something else. I don't know. But then he went and he started a rival AI company. So I don't know. I don't know. But I just feel anytime you got, you got two billionaires that are going after each other in court, it's probably gonna be some, some wild stuff that comes out.

[Aaron]

We shall see.

[Big T]

Yep.

[Hannah Montoya]

I have a question about Sam Altman.

[Big T]

Huh?

[Hannah Montoya]

I don't. I try to avoid him at all costs, but when I see things about him and he got like subpoenaed recently for something or. I don't know. Everyone always says when he got fired from OpenAI. But isn't he the CEO of OpenAI?

[Big T]

Sam Altman?

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Yes.

[Hannah Montoya]

But everyone always talks about when he gets. When he got fired from OpenAI and I don't know how he got fired from OpenAI and now is CEO. Does anybody know that?

[Big T]

I don't know the lore behind that.

[Hannah Montoya]

Okay. Because I always see like, oh, he's such a liar. He did all of these crazy things, got fired. But then I'm like, but he is the CEO, so was it a long time ago? And then he just didn't leave. I always get confused by that. But if you don't have the lawyer,

[Big T]

it's okay, well, the. He's always been like in charge of Open AI. I think he's.

[Hannah Montoya]

Did he started open AI, right?

[Big T]

Yeah. There might have been like a power play behind the scenes. Let me look it up. Looks like, yeah, he was fired for a few days.

[Hannah Montoya]

Oh, okay.

[Big T]

Yeah, so they fired him, then immediately brought him back.

[Hannah Montoya]

Oh, was fired and then five days later was brought back. Yeah, okay. Sorry.

[Big T]

And a brand new board. So it sounds like he just, he won that, that power struggle right there.

[Hannah Montoya]

Board of directors ousted co founder and chief executive. Okay. So he literally. They tried to get rid of him. It just didn't work basically. Yeah, okay. Sorry about that.

[Big T]

No, I mean, that's a fair question. That's kind of crazy. I would like to know the story behind that.

[Hannah Montoya]

There's a whole Wikipedia page on the outing of Sam Altman.

[Aaron]

This is. So I do a little research on Elon and Sam Altman's

[Big T]

feud.

[Aaron]

I said the weakness. Open AI is hammering. There was never a signed contract saying open AI shall remain a non profit forever. Musk is relying on emails, the founding charter and verbal understandings. OpenAI's lawyers showed him 2018 emails where Altman explicitly told him about plans to raise 10 billion and restructured. And Musk admitted on the stand he did not read the fine print.

[Big T]

I like that.

[Arian]

That's fair.

[Big T]

I saw that. Yeah. He's like, hands up, my bad.

[Aaron]

But still though, you know, it was like nobody reads.

[Big T]

That was like four pages, right?

[Aaron]

That's funny, bro. The. The amount of disposable income you have to have to be able to sue one of the most. One of the companies with the most motion in the world right now and just admit be like, yeah, I mean, I didn't read exactly everything. But

[Big T]

still we here, I imagine that a lot of CEOs don't read most of the stuff that they sign. They just trust their lawyers.

[Aaron]

That's how I am with every new app I get.

[Big T]

Oh yeah, Scroll. Just scroll and check. Scroll and check. Rinse and repeat.

[Aaron]

They could, they could take everything I own, bro.

[Big T]

All right, we got anything.

[Aaron]

Although there's some laws against that, isn't it?

[Big T]

I think so. Yeah. I, I think that there, there have been a couple judges that have ruled that like the terms and conditions don't. Like, there's no, no reasonable expectation that people will actually go through line by line before they download an app.

[Aaron]

Yeah, it's a lot.

[Big T]

It's like Disney tried to do that right. With that one lady that was. She got like sick at one of Their restaurants at the theme park. They said because she was a Disney plus, she was Disney plus subscriber, she waived her right to sue Disney for

[Arian]

anything, which is hysterical.

[Big T]

Yeah, I respect. I respect the lawyers that kind of. That found that loophole and went for it, but also their. Their for doing that.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

What else we got in the news today? Anything you want to get into, Arian? Anything in particular going on?

[Aaron]

There's not. Man, my life's on repeat right now.

[Big T]

Any good way?

[Aaron]

Yeah. Oh, I'm not complaining. I'm enjoying this junction in my life. Oh, Mother's Day just passed. Happy belated Mother's Day to all those beautiful mothers out there, you know, and the ugly one. No, I'm just joking. But seriously, happy Mother's Day, man. It was. I had a great. I had a great time with my moms. She. She always. She always lights up when we. When we come around.

[Big T]

Very nice moms.

[Aaron]

Like, you know, you're the reason for the season.

[Big T]

I'm gonna go home and. And see my mom next Saturday. Excited about that. We'll get back to macro in a second. It's brought to you by Stella Blue Cell Blue Coffee is more than just great coffee. It's coffee with a purpose. That's why we started We Brew to Rescue and a nationwide campaign using proceeds from our new Ready to Drink cans to fund a thousand pet adoptions this year.

Drink Stella Blue, fuel your day, and help save a pet's life all at once. Get yours now at Stella Blue Coffee.com, amazon and select retailers across the country. And then I got. I got some good news because I got my MRI back. You know, I told you my hamstring was messed up. Aaron got some good news from the mri. It's just like a. A high grade two and the tendon is fine, so I don't need surgery. So I'm pumped about that. I just. I'm retiring. I. I made an official announcement, but I've. I think I figured out the next direction of my athletic career. So I'm retiring from running. It was a great run of that but I feel like that's just not for me right now where I'm at in my life. And as soon as the hamstring gets healed up I'm going to be focusing on number one obviously Internet invitational golf season coming up and get the handicap working. And then secondly I think I'm gonna try yoga. I think I'm become like a full time yoga guy.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Like get really, really good at yoga. It's stretching. I need to stretch. I've had so many muscle injuries recently, I just gotta, I gotta nip that in the bud. So I'm gonna be stretching a lot. It's good for your back, which I also need. And I've heard that it's a, a great workout that you can actually keep in very good shape and that you feel better after you do yoga.

[Hannah Montoya]

You can get ripped from yoga thousand percent.

[Big T]

So I think, I think that's the direction I'm going to go. I'm going to try. What's, what's a good amount of days per week to do yoga?

[Aaron]

It depends on which kind you're doing. I used to do Bikram. Vikram. Yoga is a little more intense. It's, it's, it's. That motherfucker is a workout. Don't, don't get it twisted.

[Hannah Montoya]

Yeah.

[Aaron]

If you're doing that's like an hour and a half. So I used to do that like three times a week and I felt amazing.

[Hannah Montoya]

If you're doing like a yin, which is a more not as crazy as Bikram, you could do it like four or five times a week. Like you might be sore. Are you, this might sound weird. Are you like a flexible guy?

[Big T]

Yeah, I think relatively like I was always good at like the V sit and all that stuff.

[Hannah Montoya]

Like can you touch your toes today?

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Hannah Montoya]

Okay, so you, I don't think you'll have as much of like a culture shock to it because I've been with like my dad used to go to yoga with me and he like can't touch his toes and he would be so sore just because your muscles aren't getting used that way. And it's a different type of like if you're not used to touching your toes, you're. And all of a sudden your whole point of the workout is to stretch yourself out. You, your hamstrings are gonna be sore or whatever. You will probably be sore just cause it's a different muscle group that you're not Used to using, but after a couple weeks, I think you'll stretch out, and then you just get stronger and your core will get really strong if you do it consistently. I love it. I think you. I think you'd love it.

[Big T]

Yeah, I think I'm willing to. I mean, I'm gonna need to love it. Cause I need to replace all my other workouts because it's not working for me right now. So I need to find something that does work.

[Hannah Montoya]

And if you go to, like, hot yoga, that shit will have you burning, like, 500, 600 calories because you're just sweating everything out.

[Big T]

How hot are we talking in hot yoga? I have some questions about hot. Because I did think about that.

[Hannah Montoya]

I do hot yoga. There is a place by you that I will tell you about off air.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Hannah Montoya]

That is probably a bit too hot right off the rip. It's probably 102, 103 in there.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Hannah Montoya]

And if you go later in the day, if you go at night, it just gets hotter and hotter because it's been on all day. The place I go, it's usually around 94, 95. And that's doable. Like you're not struggling to breathe.

[Big T]

Yeah, but you're still 101. 102 sounds excessive. I'll be honest with you.

[Hannah Montoya]

It's basically like you're in a steam room.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Hannah Montoya]

It's a lot.

[Big T]

Okay. And then. Second question. With hot yoga, it doesn't get smelly in there. Like, everybody's sweating.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Hannah Montoya]

Yeah. But I don't find it to be, like, a deterrent.

[Aaron]

You know what? For me, it was like. At first, I was like, come on, dog. But after a while, it's like you kind of with it.

[Big T]

I don't know. The way you're saying it sounds kind of creepy right now, Aaron.

[Aaron]

I'm just saying, like, it's just one of them stances were like. It's like, okay, when you play team sports, right? And after. After practice, after a game, it's demonstrably funky in there. But it's like you. You get used to it, and you kind of like, you know what? This. This is what it is. You know what I'm saying? It's like you respect the grind and all and all that encompasses it. You know what I mean?

[Hannah Montoya]

I don't find it to be like you're walking into a football locker room where it's just. You're smelling gross all the time, though. I don't find it to be like that.

[Aaron]

It's close, man.

[Hannah Montoya]

I don't Know where you're going. I think also I will say this not to be sexist against men. A lot of the places I go for yoga are primarily women. They don't smell as bad.

[Big T]

That is true. That's valid. I think I'm gonna, I'm gonna start.

[Aaron]

But every now and then you get like, like the granola type, that deodorant. And you know,

[Big T]

I'm gonna start with regular, not, not hot yoga. Like regular temperature yoga. Sounds pretty good.

[Hannah Montoya]

Yeah, just go to like core power.

[Big T]

That's a good place for me to start.

[Hannah Montoya]

I think, I think that's a great place.

[Big T]

And then. Yeah, you can't get in good shape if you just do yoga. Right. Like, it's a good workout.

[Hannah Montoya]

Totally.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Hannah Montoya]

Totally. And you'll be able to be. Oh, yeah, doing stuff. You'll be able to do handstands if you keep going, put your leg back, back behind your shoulder, all that.

[Big T]

I don't think I'm ever going to get to that place.

[Hannah Montoya]

Who knows? Maybe you'll become like really zen and like really yogi.

[Big T]

Can you get. Do people get good at yoga, like late on in their life?

[Hannah Montoya]

I, I don't see that's, that's when you do it. Also, you're not that old. Like, you can do it.

[Big T]

I'm pretty old, but like, this is

[Hannah Montoya]

not an old dog.

[Aaron]

I think, I think the number one. Go ahead.

[Big T]

No, I was just saying, like, I'm pretty. Like I'm LeBron retiring from the NBA. Old.

[Aaron]

I think the number one reason for injuries as we get older is people, they get stiff and they're not, they're immobile, so they can't move. So if you do end up doing a fast, quick twitch muscle or something like that, it puts more stress on everything. But if you're loose and limber, like it's, it's. It's really hard to, to, to, to get injured as, as you age. I would say keep your core tight and be flexible. And I don't think you deal with injuries anymore as a grown up.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Hannah Montoya]

I think yoga is a perfect place for, for you post ind. Post injury.

[Big T]

Okay, we got it.

[Hannah Montoya]

Namaste.

[Big T]

Namaste. We're going to do it. Do I have to learn any Indian?

[Hannah Montoya]

No, I don't think so. You'll learn the names of poses, but those are pretty easy to get in on.

[Big T]

It's like an hour. Is that about how long it takes?

[Hannah Montoya]

45 to an hour, I'd say.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Hannah Montoya]

I'd say that's how long you pencil in for.

[Big T]

Okay. I mean, I'm now a yogi.

[Hannah Montoya]

Hell, yeah.

[Big T]

Is that some. Anyone who does yoga is a yogi.

[Hannah Montoya]

Yeah, sure.

[Big T]

Okay. Fuck, yeah, that's me.

[Hannah Montoya]

So because of your leg, are you not going to be able to do your walk Wednesdays for a while? While.

[Big T]

I can't do my walk Wednesdays, But I. I was actually. This is good news because I was talking to Titus yesterday about yoga. That's what got me, like, thinking about it, because he loves it. So I'm thinking I was so into it that I scheduled a yoga class for myself today. And then I woke up and I was like, wait a second. I can't go.

[Aaron]

My.

[Big T]

I've got a torn hamstring. That's not. I gotta wait to do that. But the fact that I was even thinking about it tells me that my hamstring's healing up real nice. So whenever that's done, you thought you were. You were in real trouble for a while. Yeah, because, like, it was swollen and, like, blood everywhere. Like, the bruising was pretty bad, pretty gnarly. And then at the doctor, they were like, yeah, it might be a torn hamstring tendon because they couldn't feel it. Turns out that was just all the swelling and, like, the blood and inflammation that on the outside of my. My hamstring, like, you couldn't feel the tendon at all. So it's a partial tear of the tendon, but to a point where it's like a very small amount of torn tendon. It's going to recover on its own. We'll be okay.

[Arian]

You and Ronald Acuna both avoided disaster with hamstring injuries in the last week.

[Big T]

Good for us. Yeah. Two elite athletes. Yep, elite athletes. But, yeah, hopefully this is the last of my. My muscle issues, because now I'm just going to be fully flexible and limber and we'll be good.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Dedication isn't born in the light of day.

[Aaron]

It's carved in the quiet hours before

[Big T]

the world blinks awake.

[Aaron]

At Boar's Head, we rise with a mission to deliver craftsmanship worthy of your table. A slice of something special folded into

[Big T]

every moment worth savoring.

[Aaron]

Because dedication means delivering only the very best. Flores head committed to craft since 1905.

[Big T]

All right, what else we got today, Big T? Got anything else you fired up on?

[Arian]

That was it, man.

[Big T]

Do you have any comment on. On Wimy's elbow? Should he be suspended? Do you see that, Aron?

[Aaron]

I did. I mean, if we. If we being consistent, then, yeah, I think he's just Such a nice dude that we probably don't want to take it there with him. But. Yeah, that was me, dog.

[Arian]

There they are. The NBA is anything but consistent with star players in the playoffs. Was it 24?

[Aaron]

What are the streets saying?

[Arian]

The Hawks were an eight seed playing the Pacers, who were a one. And it was game six. The Hawks were up three to two and. And they lost the game. But there was a fight and the whole Pacers bench emptied out onto the court, including Paul George, and you're supposed to be suspended for that. And they did nothing and the Hawks got killed in game seven.

[Big T]

So the NBA has never been super consistent with all that stuff. No, I feel like. I don't know, I feel like Wemby should be suspended for that. The more I think he won't be, but feel like he should.

[Arian]

I'd be stunned.

[Big T]

He back and he.

[Aaron]

He.

[Big T]

He did that like he had some intent behind that elbow. I think afterwards he probably. He realized it was a stupid thing to do, but in the moment, yeah, he. He was 100% going after him. Shout out. Nas Reed took it like a champ.

[Aaron]

Yeah, he ate that.

[Big T]

All right, so RIP to the Lakers, we're going to say if they're going to get swept tonight.

[Arian]

Seems that way.

[Big T]

But it's not LeBron's final, final game.

[Arian]

No, he's gonna.

[Aaron]

I would. If I was a betting man, I'd say no, he's gonna milk that thing.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Arian]

Remember before the season, he did that thing where he tried to make it seem like he was gonna announce that it was his last season and it was like a Hennessy ad or something?

[Big T]

Yep.

[Arian]

He's gonna. He's gonna get them as much as he can out of it.

[Big T]

Yep. All right, well, we will see you guys on Thursday. Do you want to do the. The Sam Altman Elon lawsuit?

[Hannah Montoya]

I think that'd be interesting.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Hannah Montoya]

To sure despicable people.

[Big T]

Aaron, you into it?

[Aaron]

I'm into it, man.

[Big T]

We should do that. All right, well, we will see you guys on Thursday. Love you guys.

[Arian]

Goodbye.
