Heisman Trophy Controversy: Was This Year’s Award Uninspiring?

[03:40–23:44]

Main Discussion

• Big T’s Take on the Heisman:
  • Big T wrote a blog claiming Fernando Mendoza’s Heisman was the “most uninspiring” in recent memory.
  • He clarifies: “The only opinion in it was when I said I love Fernando Mendoza and think he's a great player. The rest of it was barely opinion.” [04:13]
  • Stats Compared: Last four QBs to win the Heisman: 4,700+ passing yards, 47 TDs—Mendoza finished with sub-3,000 yards, 33 TDs, 6 INTs. "Under 3,000 yards. Does that inspire you, Arian, or would you describe it as uninspiring?" [05:56]
• Shift in College Football Attention:
  • “Nobody talked about the Heisman, really, throughout the whole season because all the focus now is on the playoff.” [04:34]
  • Several strong candidates throughout the season, but no clear favorite due to injuries and inconsistent performances.
• What is the Heisman About Now?
  • Big T: “The award for the best player in the country is the Maxwell Award... The Heisman is supposed to go to the most outstanding player who also exhibits outstanding character.” [06:19]
  • His personal vote: Diego Pavia, then Mendoza, then Jacob Rodriguez. “I hate him. I genuinely hate him. I despise him. That shows you that he probably should have won the award.” [07:06]
• Does It Cheapen the Award?
  • “I think the Heisman’s lost a lot of its luster just generally.” [07:52]
  • Suggests the idea: if no one is worthy in a particular year, don’t give it out—“like the National Baseball Hall of Fame.”
• Comparison to Previous Winners:
  • Aryan: “When you are a Heisman winner, you're compared to other Heisman winners... In a pool of not-very-good Heisman class, you get compared to other Heisman winners, which is just not very fair.” [08:22]
• Indiana Fans Respond:
  • The backlash from Indiana fans; accusations that Big T’s take was disparaging.
  • "Listen, your guy won the Heisman... Let Big T rent free." [09:23]

Debate with "White Boy Rick" (Indiana Fan)

[11:04]

• Entrenched fan perspective: "How do you not find this to be an inspiring story?” [11:41]
• White Boy Rick argues Mendoza’s lack of huge stats is because he sat out several fourth quarters and games.
• Big T: “How many Indiana games do you think the average college football fan watched this year?” [12:42]
• Rick lists Mendoza’s big-game “Heisman moments,” but Big T maintains: “You’re making my point, Rick. The whole field wasn’t very good.” [13:17]
• Disagreement over the interpretation of “uninspiring.”
  • Big T: “Uninspiring means someone or something that does not make you feel excited, interested, or motivated.” [18:41]
• Closure and playful jabs—White Boy Rick: “Surely Tennessee has a Heisman by now, right?” [23:24]
  • Big T retorts on internet culture and grown adults “trying to own” each other online.

Memorable exchange:

• Rick: “You came away from that night watching this kid take 13-0 Indiana to the number one ranking... and you come away from that thinking uninspiring?” [14:17]
• Big T: “Whoever won it, it would have been uninspiring... I might just become the uninspiring guy.” [41:37]

---

College Football & NFL Playoff Discussion

[25:07–44:55], [38:14–44:32]

• Rules Innovation: Forward Progress
  • Arian Foster questions the fairness of the “forward progress” rule, suggesting it unfairly helps the offense.
    “Wherever you end up at the end of the play is where you should end up.” [26:37]
  • Big T challenges with possible unintended effects, like defenders dragging runners backward.
  • Lively debate about safety, fumble touchbacks, and the infamous “tush push” play.
  • “We don’t ever make rules to help the defense out.” [28:03]
• NFL Playoff Field: Who Do We Trust?
  • Arian places a big bet on the 49ers: “I just put a thousand dollars US currency on the San Francisco 49ers to win the Super Bowl.” [36:16]
  • Big T: “Rather uninspiring crop of NFL playoff teams this year.” [41:37]
  • Teams discussed: Rams, Panthers, Buccaneers, Bears, Lions, Texans.
  • Packers’ injury woes, Ben Johnson as Coach of the Year contender, and skepticism over teams like the Eagles or Panthers.

Notable quote:

• “I might just say everything's uninspiring.” – Big T [41:54]

The show offers thoughtful, sometimes provocative, always entertaining takes on both the sport and the culture surrounding it. And, as always, Macrodosing delivers plenty of laughs and offbeat commentary along with its football analysis.

[Big T]

I may have an answer for you.

[Arian Foster]

Are you ready to. Are you ready to answer my. My intense question? You might not like my question, Big T. Okay. But I will ask it to you regardless. Did Fernando Mendoza win the most uninspiring Heisman Trophy in recent memory this weekend?

[Big T]

Yes.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Arian Foster]

I saw Big T. Listen, love him or hate him, Big T is going to have his opinion. He's going to stand behind it. I saw a lot of Indiana fans.

[Big T]

I can't fathom that people were mad about that.

[Arian Foster]

I saw, truly, a lot of Indiana fans were not happy with the fact that you called it the most uninspiring Heisman Trophy in recent memory, which they.

[Big T]

Must not have read it. Virtually. The only opinion in it was when I said I love Fernando Mendoza and think he's a great player. The rest of it was barely opinion.

[Arian Foster]

You did say. Let me firstly be clear. This is not meant to be disparaging to Mendoza in any way.

[Big T]

Correct.

[Arian Foster]

Do you think that that is a little bit at odds with the headline?

[Big T]

No, not at all.

[Arian Foster]

Uninspiring Heisman.

[Big T]

Not at all. The. Nobody talked about the Heisman, really, throughout the whole season because all the focus now is on the playoff. I think a lot of people didn't even, like, we just kind of made this decision as Indiana and Ohio State played in the Big Ten championship game. They're like, yeah, screw it. Who, whoever wins, give it to them. Like, there was no, There was no clear cut favorite. Throughout the whole season. It kind of jockeyed between a few people. Like it looked like it was going to be John Mattier. He gets hurt. Then Trinidad Chambliss comes on strong. Haynes King had a moment. Diego Pavia. It was never like a. It wasn't a big deal throughout the season. His stats weren't anything incredible. He's a great player. I Think he's going to be awesome in the NFL. I love everything he's about off the field. And I said it was uninspiring to have an angle to the story. I don't. I find nothing. If you're offended by that, like, your brain is tiny.

[Arian Foster]

I like it.

[Big T]

Like, genuinely, you're just. You're just not a very intelligent person.

[Arian Foster]

It was an interesting point. I read the article. I thought you made some good points in it. The last four quarterbacks to win the Heisman Trophy averaged more than 4700 passing yards, 47 touchdowns, and five picks when they want it. Mendoza finished under 3, 000 yards. He had 33 touchdowns and six picks.

[Aryan]

Under 3, 000 yards.

[Big T]

Yeah, he was like 2900 or something. Does that inspire you, Arian, or would you describe it as uninspiring?

[Aryan]

That's slim pickings for the Heisman this year.

[Arian Foster]

It sounds like now, Big T, if, If you had it your way, who is the best? It's supposed to go to the best player. The best football player in the country.

[Big T]

That's not true.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Big T]

The bet the award for the best player in the country is the Maxwell Award, which I outlined in that it's supposed to go to the most outstanding player in college football who also exhibits like, outstanding character. And there's a couple other things we've turned it into. The best player.

[Arian Foster]

Who do you think should have won the Heisman? Who should. The Heisman should have won?

[Big T]

Probably Diego Pavia. Although if you include the character thing in there, I don't know how that squares.

[Aryan]

That would be.

[Arian Foster]

It would have been very funny for Pavia to win the Heisman.

[Big T]

I actually think they took that out a few years ago, but it used to be part of it. I would have voted for Diego Pavia with Mendoza second and Jacob Rodriguez third.

[Arian Foster]

Now, it's interesting that you would vote for Pavia, being that you were a Tennessee.

[Big T]

I hate him. And I. I genuinely hate him. I despise him.

[Arian Foster]

That shows you that he probably should have won the award. It would have been very funny the way that he would have acted had he won the Heisman Trophy. He would have turned that thing into an ice lose.

[Big T]

There's no telling.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, he would be. He would be ripping shots off it.

[Big T]

I don't think there were many strong contenders this year. Like, you know, in, in a normal year. I don't. And that's why I said, like, maybe we do the Heisman, like the, the National Baseball hall of Fame. If nobody is worthy of it, that Year, nobody gets it. And then, and then going into the next year, we have strong intrigue in who's going to win the Heisman.

[Arian Foster]

It's not a bad idea either. Yeah.

[Big T]

Maxwell Award. Give it out every year to whoever the best player is the Heisman should be. Joe Burrow deserved a Heisman. Cam Newton deserved a Heisman. Did Fernando Mendoza, I don't know.

[Arian Foster]

Does it cheapen the award?

[Big T]

I think the Heisman's lost a lot of its luster just generally and that's anecdotal, but I've, I talked to another one of my, my college football guys whose opinion I trust and he concurred. Like that used to be a huge deal. Like I would sit down in front of the TV and watch the Heisman ceremony. Now it's like who. Who really cares?

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Who, who are the finalists for the Maxwell Award?

[Big T]

I'm assuming it was Pavia Mendoza saying. And maybe Jeremiah Love.

[Aryan]

This is like a no dub. Like, like it's because like it's like first round draft picks, right? When you, when you get, when you are first round draft pick, you are compared to other past first round draft picks, which are hall of Famers, which are this. Right? So like it's when you are a Heisman winner, you're compared to other Heisman winners. So in a pool of. And not very good Heisman class, you get compared to other Heisman winners, which is just not very fair. Was he the most outstanding player? You know, probably. Maybe. You know, it's kind of hard to tell. There's wasn't, not. There wasn't no clear cut. This dude is a dog this year. There just wasn't that this year, I don't think. And so whoever was going to win is going to be like. Which was to your point.

[Big T]

I agree. That's what I said. And like. And he's a great player. I think he's going to be awesome in the NFL actually. I just don't like. It was fine. And again, a lot of this is because the playoff, that's all anybody focuses on now. So there's attention taken away from the Heisman. It just wasn't a strong year. That's fine. I don't know why anybody would possibly be upset about that.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, I think it's mostly Indiana fans.

[Big T]

Again, like your, your guy won the Heisman. If, if you want to, if you.

[Arian Foster]

Want to let Big T. Yeah.

[Big T]

Be my guest.

[Arian Foster]

Cheap in that moment.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Rent free.

[Big T]

Big tips to be.

[Arian Foster]

Should we get white boy Rick in here to debate you?

[Aryan]

And they're kind of new anyway, aren't they? Indiana football fans. They're kind of new, aren't they?

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Do you want to text White Boy Rick, just see if he's free right now?

[Big T]

Sure.

[Arian Foster]

I would like to have this debate because I. You know why I want to have the debate. Big T, I think you're right. I think you're right.

[Big T]

I know I'm right.

[Arian Foster]

Mendoza. I. I think he probably deserved to win the award.

[Big T]

I don't have White Boy Rick's number.

[Arian Foster]

Credit credit to Indiana football. Credit to Sig, Credit to Mendoza. Great season.

[Aryan]

How do I become White Boy Rick when that can be applied across the board to barstool employees in general? How did that happen?

[Big T]

Twitter alias. His name's Kevin.

[Arian Foster]

It's a fair question. Arian is not.

[Aryan]

Is Rick.

[Big T]

Nope.

[Arian Foster]

He had the. He had the Twitter account before he was employed here.

[Aryan]

So it was a self. Self.

[Arian Foster]

Self deprecating nickname. Self deprecating nickname. A little bit.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Arian Foster]

But yeah, he's a. He's a massive Hoosiers fan. He gets in his feelings about the Hoosiers a lot. Big time. Big time.

[Aryan]

So while waiting for him to come in, I have a take.

[Big T]

Oh, wait, you're gonna have to be quick.

[Aryan]

I'll pause that.

[Arian Foster]

Rick was waiting outside the door. He's been following Big T up there. Yeah, he's been following Big T around, waiting for a chance to confront him. Whiteboard. Have a seat at the. The mic at the end there.

[White Boy Rick]

What's up, guys?

[Arian Foster]

There you go.

[White Boy Rick]

Never been in the studio before.

[Arian Foster]

It's good to see.

[Aryan]

Can we tell Mac to zoom out because I can't see him.

[Arian Foster]

Okay, Aryan needs you to zoom out a little bit. He looks like a white boy.

[Aryan]

Spoiler. Way to spoil it for me.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

I had no idea what I was about to expect.

[Arian Foster]

Rick, this is Aryan. Arian. Rick. Hi.

[White Boy Rick]

Aryan, it's an honor and a privilege.

[Arian Foster]

Likewise, brother Rick, we were just discussing Big T's blog from over the weekend that Fernando Mendoza won the most inspired uninspiring Heisman Trophy in recent memory. Yes, I figured that you would.

[Big T]

I was going to say all time, but it felt harsh.

[Arian Foster]

Recent memory is a good qualifier in there. I figured that you would have have qualms.

[White Boy Rick]

Yeah. First off, Big T, you're a ball knower. Nothing but respect. I did take issue with the most uninspiring part because I. I don'. How do you not find this to be an inspiring story?

[Big T]

I don't think you know what the word uninspiring means. Oh, that could be, that could be part of the issue.

[White Boy Rick]

I know what the word uninspiring means. Your whole blog was centered around stats. Fernando Mendota has set out 7 4th quarters this year.

[Arian Foster]

That's a fair counter volume stat.

[White Boy Rick]

When Fernando Mendoza has been sitting out like seven games this year, he's gone out early.

[Big T]

I think you're emotional right now, and that's okay. Remove yourself from being an Indiana fan. Right.

[Aryan]

Wait, wait, wait.

[Arian Foster]

Big T, that was, that was for.

[Big T]

My guy here because I, I, no, that's fine.

[Arian Foster]

I, I read, I read the blog. The headline was very inflammatory.

[Big T]

Yes, I disagree.

[Arian Foster]

I wanted, I wanted to question Big T about it. The stats that he brought up and the points that he made seemed like they were fair points to me. Did not realize that he sat out seven fourth quarter, not like whole fourth.

[White Boy Rick]

Quarters, but he's left seven games early now.

[Big T]

Let me. That's, that's actually interesting. You say that. Remove yourself from being an Indiana fan. How many Indiana games do you think the average college football fan watch this year?

[White Boy Rick]

They're the number one team in the country. They should be watching them.

[Big T]

Okay. If you like good football. How many were like good games against quality competition?

[White Boy Rick]

Oregon, Penn State, Iowa. He had Heisman moments in all three of those games late. I think the national TV games, he absolutely delivered on Heisman moments. And even how many big wins like that does Diego Pavia have?

[Big T]

You're making my point, Rick. The whole field wasn't very good. That was the whole point. I think you just don't know what the word uninspiring means. I think that's.

[White Boy Rick]

You're not going to come at me for my vocabulary right now. That's not what we're not going to do.

[Big T]

I'm uninspiring means you're making my point. Diego Pavia.

[White Boy Rick]

How am I making your point?

[Big T]

Diego Pavia had a good year, a solid season. Fine. Julian Saiyan was good with elite weapons around him. Like, none of these guys were incredible. They were all good.

[White Boy Rick]

Fernando Mendoza was absolutely incredible. And I think if you watch the games, he was incredible. If you want to look at the volume stats in the box scores, sure. If you sat down and watched Indiana football games all year long, Fernando Mendoza stepped up in every big moment. Brought his every big moment. What did Diego Pavia do other than fucking 300 yards?

[Big T]

That's my point, Rick. None of them.

[White Boy Rick]

So you're not arguing for.

[Arian Foster]

He's arguing. He's arguing that the trophy should have been vacated.

[Big T]

I'm saying that it wasn't a.

[White Boy Rick]

You came away from that night watching this kid take 13 and oh Indiana to the number one ranking in the sport. And you watch that speech and you watch him hug his mother and you come away from that thinking uninspiring. The award should be vacated.

[Big T]

You're using question.

[White Boy Rick]

If you really enjoy college football, you're.

[Big T]

Using the word in a completely different sense also.

[Arian Foster]

But now, now we've pivoted because originally it was. You don't understand the English language now. Now it's. There's a.

[Big T]

His description of the word is not how I use it.

[Arian Foster]

But a word can have two different meanings.

[Big T]

But to the games that you mentioned against Iowa is 13 of 23.

[White Boy Rick]

Exactly. You're looking at the box scores instead of watching the game.

[Big T]

I watched all of these games. Against Oregon he was 20 of 31 with one touchdown and a pick. Against Penn State he was 19 of 31, touchdown and a pick. And against Iowa state he was 15 of 23. One touchdown and one pick.

[White Boy Rick]

And in every one of those games he got the ball down. And that touchdown came in the biggest moment of the game.

[Big T]

But did. But you see how someone could hear that and be like, yeah, it doesn't exactly sound like a Heisman winner to me. I. I think.

[White Boy Rick]

I understand. Like the stats aren't there compared to like some recent.

[Big T]

I think. I think you're reframing the argument. None of this was saying Fernando Mendoza isn't good. In fact, as I mentioned prior to you coming in here, really the only opinion in there was that I said I think he's great and I like him. It was that the field wasn't particularly strong and none of these guys were really Heisman caliber guys.

[White Boy Rick]

I think Fernando Mendoza was absolutely a Heisman caliber guy. I think he deserved the award this year. He 86% of the first place votes.

[Big T]

Do we have yes this year.

[Arian Foster]

Do we.

[Big T]

Because the field was weak.

[Arian Foster]

A ruling on what he's going to be allowed to do with the trophy because he said that he would want the trophy to stay at Indiana University Bloomington and have it be there because it's really. The team helped him produce it. The fans have had a lot that has gone against them over the years. Belongs to the people. Are they going to allow him to keep that trophy at the university in addition to the trophy? That does.

[White Boy Rick]

I think we got to keep both.

[Big T]

Of them in the. I was going to say I'll forgive Fernando for not knowing how the Heisman works. The school does get one.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. So are they going to have Two trophies on campus.

[White Boy Rick]

Yeah. We could find buildings for them. Listen, we. The football facility doesn't have a lot of trophies to begin with, so we got to fill out the trophy case somehow.

[Arian Foster]

I liked it when they asked the guys what you would do with the trophy, and he was like, I would want it stay at the. At the school because it means so much to the community. And. And was it love that said Jeremiah? Love was like, I. I would let God hold it.

[White Boy Rick]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

And then what did Saiyan say? He said something kind of.

[White Boy Rick]

He gave another.

[Big T]

Like, someone in my family.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. And then. And then Pavia was like, I'm going to give it to Theo Von.

[White Boy Rick]

Yeah. You guys hear Theo Von's banging my mom?

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[White Boy Rick]

That was Pavia's answer.

[Arian Foster]

He's going to have it in the background of his podcast studio, by the way.

[Big T]

Rick, for all that he's upset, tweeted this out and had. So that a bunch of Indiana fans would be like, yeah, that guy should kill himself.

[White Boy Rick]

He should hand up.

[Big T]

Yeah. And then he. And then Rick was like, actual. Guys, guys, I didn't mean for you to tell. To kill himself.

[White Boy Rick]

I.

[Big T]

You're the one who did it.

[White Boy Rick]

I summoned the trolls. I summoned the trolls. That was a low blow, summoning the trolls, like.

[Big T]

And I.

[White Boy Rick]

That I do apologize for.

[Big T]

That's fine. But, yeah, none of this was saying Fernando Mendoza sucks. Like, I think. I think people nobody read it, which was the first thing.

[White Boy Rick]

I'll also be honest. I had a few drinks to celebrate the Heisman, right Now, I couldn't tell you one word, one line from the blog.

[Big T]

And that's. And that's. I did.

[White Boy Rick]

I did read it.

[Big T]

And that's part of the deal that I know going in.

[Aryan]

But you know what you're doing with that headline.

[Big T]

Let me ask you something. Let me ask you something. You've blogged if I write Fernando Mendoza wins the Heisman, how many people click on that?

[Arian Foster]

Well, no, you can. You can include something about the. Like, what contained in the blog, Fernando Mendoza wins the Heisman in an objectively down year for Heisman finalists.

[Big T]

That's saying the exact. I can agree with in a worse way that makes it sound.

[Arian Foster]

I'd have to workshop the. The headline. But when. When I see most uninspiring whiteboard, Rick could be right. That could be interpreted as saying it was uninspiring in terms of like, not an inspirational story.

[Big T]

Let's look up the definition to uninspired.

[Arian Foster]

Okay. It means not inspiring. I can save you a click.

[Big T]

Something or someone that does not make you feel excited, interested, or motivated. It implies a lack of special, exciting or original qualities.

[Aryan]

Okay, but that could be a relative quality as well. Like, I. I'm not inspired by. By it, but.

[Arian Foster]

Somebody can be motivated.

[Aryan]

I'm not an Indiana fan. I'm. I'm. Because I didn't really watch, I would.

[Big T]

Expect Indiana fans to love it.

[White Boy Rick]

I gotta fight, guys. I'm not looking at this objectively.

[Arian Foster]

He inspired you to write this blog for saying that?

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

He inspired you to have a take on it, to write this blog.

[Big T]

No, he didn't. It's just part of my job.

[Arian Foster]

How often on Saturday nights at 7:02pm.

[Big T]

During college football season? Every single week.

[Arian Foster]

Okay. He inspired you to write the blog.

[Big T]

If I could have been chilling at my house, not writing about Fernando Mendoza, I would love to have done that.

[Arian Foster]

They don't boo nobodies. I guess in this case you're not, but they don't.

[Big T]

What are you mad about?

[White Boy Rick]

How do you not enjoy the Fernando Mendoza experience?

[Big T]

Said, I think he's gonna be a great player and I like him. Okay. Okay, let's read the paragraph about what I said about Fernando Mendoza at the beginning.

[Arian Foster]

Let me firstly be clear. This is not meant to be disparaging to Mendoza in any way. I think he's an outstanding player who's going to have a great NFL career. And I love everything he's about off the field. I also very much appreciate his win sparing us from the insufferable antics that would have been foisted upon American society had Diego Pavio.

[Big T]

Okay, that sounds like a good line.

[White Boy Rick]

That's a good paragraph.

[Arian Foster]

Tickling the tonsils. I. I disagree with one part of that.

[Big T]

What's that?

[Arian Foster]

I kind of would have liked to see the antics that have been foisted upon Americans.

[Big T]

Well, somehow Javier Pavia was let out of the state of Tennessee with two active bonds. I don't know how that was occurred, but New York City would have burned to the ground if he had won it.

[Arian Foster]

It would have been interesting. It would have been inspiring. Correct. Would he have been an inspiring.

[Big T]

No. Nobody was good. That's the point. Whoever won it, it would have been uninspiring. Now, we were saved from it being a disgrace to the award. We gave it to a good Christian man instead of Diego, which I think was. There's an argument to be made it was the wrong football decision, but it was the correct choice in terms of.

[Aryan]

Wait, Diego's not a. He's not a Christian man.

[Big T]

Diego Pavia. I don't know how he identifies religiously, but I would say his behavior does not lend itself to what one would typically qualify as.

[White Boy Rick]

We didn't go out on Saturday because we had mass in the morning. That's what Mendoza was doing.

[Big T]

Good.

[Arian Foster]

So it would have. It would have ruined the integrity of the award.

[Big T]

The integrity of the Wards had been lost since 1997 when they gave it to Charles Woodson. But beyond that. Yes. It would have been a stain on.

[Arian Foster]

The Heisman legacy instead of Peyton Manning.

[Big T]

Correct.

[Arian Foster]

Well, O.J. simpson still has a Heisman. Well, he's passed in his name.

[Big T]

He had one.

[Arian Foster]

He had one. Reggie Bush. They gave it back to him, right?

[Big T]

No, I think he gave it back to them.

[Arian Foster]

No, but I thought that they reversed.

[Aryan]

Yeah, they reinstated. They reinstated.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. We bullied the Heisman committee.

[Big T]

That's right. That's right.

[Arian Foster]

Into allowing them.

[Big T]

Yeah. Good.

[Arian Foster]

Sully, the name of the trophy giving Reggie Bush his Heisman back.

[Big T]

Sure.

[Aryan]

They should have never had it. He should have been kept.

[Arian Foster]

I know. That was. That was a mistake on his part. Possession is 9/10 of the law. All right, Rick, Good defense. Good defense of your guy. This. Listen, this was always going to happen. You were going to have Big T doing his take.

[Aryan]

You're going to have.

[White Boy Rick]

Yep.

[Arian Foster]

The Mendoza fans defending him. I think both sides made good points. The headline seemed like it was a neon sign being like you, Indiana, and White Boy Rick had to respond. Can you imagine if White Boy Rick had not responded?

[Big T]

I'm gonna let you in on something. And I don't know if you know this.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Big T]

But I'm gonna. Little trick of the trick. Generally when you write a headline.

[Arian Foster]

Yep.

[Big T]

You want it to be something that will make people click on it.

[Arian Foster]

And now we're having an IRL click off against. Can you.

[White Boy Rick]

Can you thank me for getting more clicks to that blog? Because my tweet did do numbers.

[Big T]

Let me see how I have to see how many it got and then I'll decide if I want to thank you or not.

[Arian Foster]

I think it drew a lot of visibility to the.

[White Boy Rick]

The blog.

[Arian Foster]

Yes.

[White Boy Rick]

At the end of the day, I.

[Arian Foster]

Boosted the blog and if you know anything about X.com the Everything app, it's all happening on X.

[Aryan]

What the fuck is that, man? Are you getting paid?

[Arian Foster]

White Boy Rick had to write an inflammatory tweet about it to get more interaction on his own tweet. So you guys are playing the same game in each other's faces. So game respect, game.

[Big T]

Yeah, but you see. You see how what I said is not what?

[White Boy Rick]

You thought I said there's a potential that. That could be true.

[Arian Foster]

Yes.

[Big T]

Okay.

[White Boy Rick]

There's a potential.

[Aryan]

All right.

[White Boy Rick]

All right, Good talk. I'll leave you with this. Surely Tennessee has a Heisman by now, right.

[Big T]

Buddy? Got.

[Aryan]

Oh, damn.

[Arian Foster]

Wow.

[Big T]

Damn.

[Arian Foster]

See, now he's a good closer. That's good. We call that a kicker.

[Big T]

See, now he's at the end of the column now. Now we're in a different discussion, and now he's gonna make me mad.

[Aryan]

That was a good. That was a good one.

[Big T]

It wasn't.

[Arian Foster]

Dude, I'm disagree. It was a good blog. He just blogged you because that's what.

[Big T]

All the Indiana fans said, and it made me feel bad for them. Yeah, they were like, oh, hey, Rick, ask him how many Heisman winners Tennessee has. Like, dude, you're. You're an adult. Like, tweeting someone you don't know to tell someone else that you don't know that the college he went to doesn't have a Heisman trophy. Like, I'm 28, dude. I have a job.

[Aryan]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[Arian Foster]

But your job is to talk about Heisman trophies sometimes and. And the University of Tennessee sometimes. So I think that's a fair, clean shot by.

[Aryan]

By people.

[Big T]

The Internet's just getting to a point that it's. It's. It's.

[Aryan]

Whatever. Too much you about to say is wrong.

[Arian Foster]

That was a good debate. That's what. That's why we have debates. That's what American society is built upon.

[Big T]

I agree.

[Arian Foster]

The exchange on the free market of ideas.

[Big T]

It used to be.

[Aryan]

Okay, Dave Rubin.

[Big T]

Hell, yeah, they'll just kill you. But.

[Arian Foster]

Yep, you can. You can have whatever opinion I. I may not like what white boy Rick has to say, but I will defend to the death his right to say it.

[Big T]

No, I. I don't even take any issue with what. What he said.

[Arian Foster]

Me and Barry Weiss in lockstep.

[Aryan]

All right, so here's my take.

[Arian Foster]

Absolutionists. Absolutely.

[Aryan]

This is coming from an offensive player. I made my money on offense. The NFL changed my life. I think we need to rethink.

[Arian Foster]

Some.

[Aryan]

Simple rules in the NFL, and I think one that we need to start with is forward progress. Forward progress is kind of dog. All right, Logistically, if I meet you in a hole as a defender and shout out to Kevin Rutland is my homeboy who used to play for the Jags and the Chiefs, and we had. We was talking this yesterday, and I was like, you know what? You changed my mind about four. Progress. Because I was always under the assumption, all right, if. However much ground I gain, I earned that yardage, you can't. You can't knock me back. And that was just what I thought. And he was like, that's bullshit. Ain't nothing fair about that. He said, because if I meet you, boom, if I meet you in the hole, I automatically lose. I lost because I have to. You, like, the ground you gained was stopped, but I can't gain no ground, but you can. And he said. And he said, additionally, if somebody helps push you forward, you gained that ground as well. And I was like, you know what? You're absolutely right. I think forward progress is stupid.

[Arian Foster]

You should.

[Aryan]

Wherever you end up at the end of the play is where you should end up.

[Big T]

So you think someone could get tackled like a yard into the end zone, they've already scored, and then they get driven back to the four, and now they're at the four.

[Aryan]

Wherever you end up is where you end up.

[Big T]

You see how that could be a little.

[Aryan]

No, no, because think about how many safeties, right, are taken away because of full progress. You. You get him down in the end zone, but then he lunges forward at the very end. It's nonsense. And it's all. It's all done.

[Big T]

You just said, wherever you end up. So what happens if you end up forward?

[Aryan]

I'm talking about, like, the ball.

[Big T]

I understand.

[Aryan]

So maybe that's. Maybe. Maybe that's a bad.

[Arian Foster]

That's a bad analogy.

[Aryan]

If you end up there, you end up. This is what I'm saying. Everything is always to every rule and state is always to protect the offense. And so this one doesn't necessarily have anything to do. I guess it kind of does. No, I don't think it does. It's all, like, under the umbrella of let's protect the players. Right? This isn't really that. This isn't really. You're not protecting the players right here. I think it's just. You're helping the offense. We don't ever make rules to help the defense out. There's never any rules to help the defense out. This would absolutely help the defense out. That says you can't just. It's not. If I meet you in the hole. He's right. It's a loss for the defense automatically.

[Big T]

I have to.

[Aryan]

I have to. I have to go above and beyond to get a. To get a tackle for loss. I have to go above and beyond. Whereas the offense.

[Big T]

It's not that.

[Aryan]

It's not. It's not necessarily the case. I thought it was a I thought it was a. I thought it was a great point by him.

[Arian Foster]

I think I agree with you that there's. There's no rules that are put in place to help the defense. Which is why I like the touchback rule where if you fumble through the end zone, turnover, tough shit, shouldn't have fumbled. I like this idea. I like it a lot. I think that if. Once you break the plane of the end zone, though, if you get in, you have possession. Touchdown. Doesn't matter where you.

[Aryan]

I'm okay with that one.

[Arian Foster]

Doesn't matter where you end up. But if you. If it's third and one from the one yard line and the. The nose tackle blows up, the guard hits the running back 4 yards in the backfield, drives him back to the 10, ball on the 10 for 4th down. I agree with that.

[Big T]

So then can you hold a guy up for five seconds and punch at the ball? No, if you're driving him back, not.

[Aryan]

Five seconds, I think that's something to be said about. Okay. And this could be player protection. When the ref feels like the play's dead, right, to protect, like, piles and, and legs whipping around and stuff like that, you can blow the whistle and that could be a conversation of how. How soon can you hold a dude up? Right? That's. I'm okay with that conversation. But as far as. If I gain ground and the defense pushes me back wherever I land, that's why I'm down.

[Arian Foster]

I think you get like, like two seconds max.

[Big T]

Okay. That's a long time.

[Arian Foster]

It is. I'm trying to think, okay, I go into contact. 1, 1,000, 2, 1,000. That's a long time.

[Aryan]

I mean, I'm okay with this, right? And this, this is a player safety thing, but like I said, I always want my sports as violent as possible. I'm okay with never blowing the whistle until the man is down. I'm okay with that. I would. I would like to see that. Right? But I know people would not. Right? But if y' all want to take it there, I would absolutely take it there. I ain't down till I'm down. You know, especially. Especially quarterbacks because they are trigger happy with the whistle. And a quarterback running the ball.

[Arian Foster]

Hate that, you know, be very funny. Is watching like a giant, like Puna Ford picking up Kyler Murray instead of sacking, instead of tackling him to the ground, just picking him up over his shoulder and just sprinting as far as he can get in two seconds, like 20 yard loss because Puna fireman carried him 20 yards straight back.

[Aryan]

That would be hilarious.

[Arian Foster]

That'd be very funny.

[Aryan]

I mean. I mean, that's like a ridiculous.

[Arian Foster]

I think in that example. I think that particular example you could see.

[Aryan]

No, I understand. And that's like a ridiculous example.

[Big T]

Right.

[Aryan]

But the. The converse to that is the ridiculousness of the tush push. That shit is ridiculous. It's within the rules. Right, but like, it's ridiculous, dog. I also don't think you should be able to push a player forward. I think that's bullshit too.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, I think.

[Aryan]

Because I think it used to be illegal.

[Arian Foster]

It did.

[Aryan]

Yeah. From a memory surgery where you're not allowed to push another player forward.

[Arian Foster]

So I think.

[Aryan]

I think in the. In the spirit of it of like getting this game to be more physical and more like man versus man. We ain't down till we down. And no, no, you can't push a man forward. You can help block a man off a man. Right. But you can't push a man forward. Like this tush push is getting out of control, though. Although I did see a good little rendition of it when the Baltimore Ravens lined up in the tush push. And I think it's Andrews or some. One of the tight ends. He reversed out of it and ran right. That was. That was cold. That was hard.

[Arian Foster]

That was a good. Yeah, that was a good wrinkle that they put on it.

[Aryan]

The.

[Arian Foster]

The Eagles did a good one with Barkley the other week too, with a. I think that was Monday night against the Chargers.

[Big T]

Yeah, that pitched it.

[Arian Foster]

So Big Cat had a similar rule, but it was. It was mostly for safet because they don't call safeties in the NFL. It's like so hard to get a real safety because the forward progress. His idea was where your tackle. If you get tackled in the end zone, that's a safety.

[Aryan]

If you land any part of your body.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, if you land in the end zone, that's a safety. Which I agree that. I like yours, though, because it goes one step further.

[Big T]

We're just. So. You could have the ball at the three yard line, but if your toe is in the end zone, that's a safety.

[Arian Foster]

If you get thrown back. Don't get thrown back into the end zone. Where you land. Yeah.

[Aryan]

Where you. So if any party body lands in the.

[Big T]

Okay, let's say you have the ball backed up inside the one. It's a toss. You get tripped up at the goal line like a guy swipes at your ankles. You fall forward, you reach the ball. The ball's at the three yard line and Your toe is in the end zone. That's a safety.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Big T]

You see how I don't know about that?

[Aryan]

But a lot of the times now.

[Arian Foster]

You'Re talking about a man who's nine feet long. No, if your toes at the end.

[Big T]

Zone, your arms can outstretch past your head.

[Arian Foster]

A three yard line, so the man is extended nine, nine feet.

[Big T]

If you're six feet tall, that means your head is at the two, your arms can extend. Say you're between the two and the three yard line.

[Arian Foster]

Okay. Just wanted to fact check the math.

[Big T]

But the math works.

[Arian Foster]

It's close.

[Aryan]

Like how many times is like, like they say his full progress was stopped, but he got carried into the end zone. You know what I mean? That happens a lot with safeties and they're just, for whatever reason, they're really reluctant. Like I would like to see the stats on this actually. Like how many goal line plays are awarded for the offense? Like breaking the plane versus safeties given. I bet you that percentage is astronomically different. It's just so hard for defense, defense.

[Big T]

To get safeties because to score you only have to get the ball to the front of the end zone. To get a safety, you have to prevent the guy from getting the tip out. So it's a.

[Aryan]

But, but, but a lot, a lot of the times that's not the case. A lot of the times they get tackled with the ball in the end zone, but their forward progress was stopped. And that's what I'm saying for progress is fucking stupid.

[Big T]

Well, no, that would be if your forward progress is stopped. That would mean if you were in the end zone, that would be safety. It's that you get it out. Your forward progress keeps going with, but.

[Aryan]

With your forward progress. So like I get sacked, I'm like an inch over the line and then I get carried backwards right into the end zone. That's what I'm saying. That is bullshit. Like it's so hard to get a safety dog. It has to be like clear cut. And that's just rare because especially in, in the pros because you're so good at, at, at, at blocking and, and being aware of the goal line. I'm saying, bro, if you, if, if, if you end up in a safety, you end up there safety.

[Arian Foster]

I, I like the rule though. I like that you can get driven back enough, enough of this forward progress bullshit.

[Aryan]

Yeah. I mean. Cause they gotta do something to throw the defensive bone. I mean, for years it's just been harder and harder to play. And this is coming from an offensive player like. But, but I'm. I'm like a football purist. I love football. I grew up on and I played against Ed Reed, Troy Paloma, Luke Katz, who. You know what I'm saying? Laying motherfuckers out. Ray Lewis, I like that football. This, this shit is. It can get a little.

[Arian Foster]

Come on, fam. Aaron, did you watch the Texans game at all yesterday?

[Aryan]

I did not. But Jacoby Brissette, I benched him on my fantasy team. Probably smart it was because, I mean, he has carried my fantasy team honestly, the last, like, I would say like what, eight weeks? Seven.

[Arian Foster]

Eight weeks.

[Aryan]

This man has consistently had 20, 20 plus points. And I was reluctant to start him against the number one defense in the NFL and he still put up, I think 26. Yeah, luckily, luckily I put my GM hat on, saw that Brock Purdy was coming back from an injury after a bye and against a lackluster defense, he got me 31. So, you know, it's great GM by me, but he surprised me. So he's going right back in that starting slot next week.

[Arian Foster]

I think Brissette's going to get his. He's going to throw the ball 40 times minimum every single week. And he's got some good players. They can't run the ball. They don't really pretend to run the football in Arizona. I don't really know what they're doing. But yeah, the Texans look really good. The 49ers. I just, I just put a thousand dollars US currency on the San Francisco 49ers to win the Super Bowl.

[Aryan]

49Ers when the Super Bowl.

[Arian Foster]

I did it because what odds believe it was was 18 to 1. It's about 20 to 1. Let me look it up.

[Aryan]

I want to.

[Arian Foster]

Facts matter when you're reporting this type of stuff. Hashtag DK partner, hashtag gamble. Responsible responsibly. 1, 800 gambler. 22 to 1. 1,000 to win, $23,000. I, I think that the Niners have had a season from hell with injuries again, as they always do, but they're a really fucking good football team right now. Brock Purdy is finally healthy. He had a toe injury that he pretended did not hurt. He tried to keep playing. Then Mac played, he got hurt. He tried to pretend that he wasn't hurt. Kyle Shanahan is a great coach. Christian McCaffrey's run the football and catching it like he used to. Trent Williams and that offensive line is still moving people around. The defense has managed to put together, I think a pretty decent starting 11. Considering all the injuries they've had, they don't sack the quarterback, which is a problem. But I trust Kyle Shanahan. He's a very good postseason coach. He's gotten to the super bowl in the past. Every time the Niners are in the playoffs, they make it to the NFC Championship game. And at that point I'll have at the very least a nice little cash out spot if they get that far. And I think that this Thursday, it's the Seahawks and the Rams. If the Seahawks beat the Rams, which I think that they could, it's going to be in Seattle. The Niners are going to have a good possibility of getting the one seed. That's the math that went into it for me. I believe in the 49ers this year. I don't know if that makes me crazy. There's just no real teams that I, That I trust. I do trust the Rams, but I think that if the Niners get home field, somehow, if they can get to that spot. I like their chances against the Rams. They've already beaten them once.

[Big T]

What about the Panthers?

[Arian Foster]

So the Panthers. Interesting. No, I don't trust them. I don't trust them anymore. Although they got shocked. Tyler Schuck is special. The Panthers are a very. They're a surprising team. I think they're a well coached team. Excuse me. I think they're a well coached team. I think they're limited as to what they can do in their passing game. Their defense is good, but I don't trust them. I. In fact, now I've swung back, I think the Bucks are going to make. I think they're going to win that division again. Going into this weekend, I thought it was going to be the Panthers, but I. I think I only trust the Rams. But if it comes down to who's got home field, then I think I'm going to go with. I go with the Niners. Riddle me this, riddle me that. The Eagles. Do you trust them?

[Big T]

No.

[Arian Foster]

Do you trust the Bears?

[Big T]

No, but kind of.

[Arian Foster]

Do you trust the Lions? They're not in it right now.

[Big T]

The opposite of the Bears. Yes, but kind of.

[Arian Foster]

No, that makes sense. That makes actually perfect.

[Big T]

You see what I'm saying?

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, 100%. Yeah, I get it. The Packers?

[Big T]

Yes.

[Arian Foster]

Even with Mike Parsons out, Watson out.

[Big T]

I hadn't considered Micah Parsons, but still.

[Aryan]

How long.

[Big T]

How long is he tore his acl, I think.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Is that confirmed or. Yeah, but it seemed like it.

[Arian Foster]

And Parsons, I think he's got a shoulder or collarbone. Do you trust the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?

[Big T]

Hell, no.

[Arian Foster]

Do you trust the Panthers? No. Do you trust the Rams?

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Do you trust The Seahawks?

[Big T]

No.

[Arian Foster]

49Ers?

[Big T]

I would say no, but they just. They just keep winning.

[Arian Foster]

They keep winning, and Kyle Shanahan is a great coach. I was making the point yesterday. I think if they get the one seed, he should win coach of the Year, given what they've been through this year.

[Big T]

Not Ben Johnson.

[Arian Foster]

Ben Johnson's had a great year, too. He's definitely worthy of it. I would say that Liam Cohen is also worthy of it. But did you know that Kyle Shanahan has never won Coach of the year?

[Big T]

I mean, checks out. He's a piece of shit.

[Arian Foster]

You're bitter. He's bitter because of the Super Bowl.

[Big T]

I'll always hate Kyle Shanahan.

[Aryan]

What's. What. What's the rule?

[Big T]

51. Falcons up 28 to 20 with three minutes left. We get down inside field goal range, and he's throwing the ball, and we got a holding penalty. Sacked, punted. They go down, score, go to overtime, lose.

[Aryan]

Well, he's one of the reasons I had a great NFL career, so I love him. What about that?

[Arian Foster]

What say you?

[Big T]

I mean, that's fair enough. Kind of another. So he was a bane of my existence in another way, too.

[Arian Foster]

Wait, was Arian Foster.

[Aryan]

Could have left this theory all gone.

[Big T]

Yeah. Yeah. Now I. Now I have to sit here and talk to Arian for six hours a week because of Kyle Shanahan. This guy. Just me. Over twice.

[Arian Foster]

That's a good point. I think I might trust the 49ers more than I trust any other team not named the Rams or the Seahawks. I think. No, I think I trust the Niners more than Seahawks at this point. And I've been high on Seattle. I think the Rams are the only team I truly trust more than the Niners.

[Big T]

Hey, you know what? I'll be the first to say it. Rather uninspiring crop of NFL playoff teams this year.

[Arian Foster]

That. That I would agree with.

[Big T]

I might just become the uninspiring guy.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, that's kind of your. Kind of fits your whole thing.

[Big T]

I might just say everything's uninspiring.

[Arian Foster]

Are you inspired by the Texans?

[Big T]

I'm intrigued by them.

[Arian Foster]

Okay. All right, we'll take that.

[Aryan]

We interviewed that. To me, that's. That's the. That's the. The wild card pick that I'm like. That makes a lot of sense. Their offense needs to get hot. But anytime you have a defense like that, which is. I love to watch, like, a good defensive Team, they're a really good defensive team, dog. That's. It's fun to watch. So anytime you have that caliber defense, you always gonna have a shot in the playoffs. Always. And so your, Your offense got. They gotta get hot. I think, I think. Is Woody Marks all right? I don't know.

[Arian Foster]

He was hurt.

[Aryan]

I had, I had him in my lineup and they listened to his questionable at the beginning of the game after he scored. So I don't know. And Nick Chubb I don't think is. You know, I mean, by the time. Get us all my brother. And so I think a run game with a solid D is necessary. And I don't really see them having that. And depending on Stroud, I don't know, I. I think he showed flashes. But it's. It'll be interesting to see how they can go through the playoffs. But that. That's a team I'm gonna watch in the playoffs. That's. That'll be fun.

[Arian Foster]

They're running back yesterday looked pretty good. Jordan.

[Aryan]

See, I didn't even know who felt him for.

[Arian Foster]

It's a guy named Jawar Jordan. It was his first game ever, first time carrying the ball and he had 15 touches, 15 carries for 101 yards, 6.7 yards.

[Big T]

Louisville.

[Arian Foster]

Where is he from? I don't. I'm not sure. Yeah, Louisville.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Six round pick. So.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, he looked pretty good yesterday. And I do trust that defense we had d' Amico Ryan's on part of my take. Last week, your boy and I, we tried to convince him, you know how a lot of coaches are like, I'll shave my head if we win a Super bowl or like we win a championship. We tried to convince him to grow his hair out if they won the Super Bowl.

[Aryan]

And he got the cul de sac.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Yeah. I think it'd be funny to see d' Amico Ryan's because I've always. I've never seen him with even a five o' clock shadow on his head.

[Aryan]

Well, he was bald in college, I think, when I played against him. Yeah, Yeah, I think so.

[Arian Foster]

He was a great player. He's. He's one of the rare examples, I think, of a. A great player that ended up being a really good head coach.

[Aryan]

I agree.

[Arian Foster]

A lot of the best coaches that are former players, they used to be like, you know, grinders. They would be, you know, like backups. Backups.

[Aryan]

Another one is Mike Vapor Mike.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, he was a really good player too. Good point. Also, Arian Foster, great player. Still hasn't won the big one.

[Aryan]

Haven't won a big one, but I got us to the dance.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. The Kyle Shanahan of youth football.

[Aryan]

That's fair. It did. It did make me want to coach adults, though. It did, Absolutely.

[Arian Foster]

You should do it.

[Aryan]

No, the.

[Arian Foster]

The U40.

[Aryan]

You can't. You can't. You can't be a scratch golfer and coach. Can't do it.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, that's true.

[Aryan]

It's way too much time.

[Arian Foster]

Did you see your boy LeBron in pregame warm ups? I think it was last night.

[Aryan]

No, he do.

[Arian Foster]

Okay, I'm gonna. I'm gonna send it to the group because, Aaron, you're gonna want to watch this. I don't even want to say what it is before I send it over, but you're gonna be like, that's my guy. That is my guy.

[Aryan]

All right.

[Arian Foster]

No, you're gonna. You're actually gonna love it. Big T. Talk amongst yourself while I send this over.

[Big T]

Do I have anything else.

[Aryan]

Under the. Under this light? Your beard looks super red dog.

[Big T]

I don't know if I love that sort of. This. Let me. I mean, I. It looks normal to me. Oh, let me. Oh, Arian, you. Can you. Can you see my hat? Can you see the logo on my hat?

[Aryan]

It looks like either a donkey or a rhino.

[Big T]

It's a donkey with a stick of dynamite in his mouth. It is the logo for the Colorado School of Mines or Diggers.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Big T]

And it. I just. We were watching a football game and somebody. I forget what I want to say. Maybe Miami has a player who transferred from the Colorado School of Mines, and Blutman was telling me it was like, they have a sick logo. You should look it up. And I did. And I was like, I need a hat with that logo on it.

[Aryan]

And what. What do they. What.

[Big T]

What sport they have their foot. He played football, the guy that transferred to Miami. But I'm sure they have all sorts of sports. I think it's like a really good academic institution.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah, it's like one of the best engineering schools in the country.

[Aryan]

Okay. Shout out to the. What is their name?

[Big T]

Colorado School of Mines or Diggers or the Ore Diggers.

[Aryan]

Okay. I'm looking at this LeBron clip. He's got the bug.

[Arian Foster]

He's got the bug.

[Aryan]

He's got the bug.

[Arian Foster]

I get spotted a mile away. LeBron, during the game last night. It wasn't in pre games. It was during the game. He was on standing courtside.

[Aryan]

Who wrote this tweet?

[Arian Foster]

Man, I. I'll forward that to our. Our internal department for review.

[Aryan]

I'LL flag whoever wrote this tweet, man. Let me tell you why there's a.

[Unknown Female Host]

Chance it's White Boy.

[Arian Foster]

It could be White Boy Rick.

[Aryan]

Well, bring his ass back in here.

[Big T]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Before we do that, before we do that, are you referring to it saying this won't go on much longer? Yeah, you know that's a. That's a reference to a. An old Twitter joke, right?

[Aryan]

No, I'm not that online.

[Big T]

Okay. There's a famous tweet from. I was it. I forget when it was. It was probably like 2013 or 14, and it was like LeBron's 32. Thankfully, this won't go on much longer.

[Aryan]

And we're here we are eight years later.

[Big T]

Yes. Okay, so that. That's a joke also.

[Arian Foster]

I don't think it would be. It might not be White Boy Rick. And if it was White Boy Rick, it was said in a very complimentary way because he is the biggest LeBron guy that we have.

[Aryan]

Gotcha.

[Arian Foster]

I. I understand. I understand you might call him a meat writer. He might.

[Aryan]

That is. That is.

[Arian Foster]

Could be.

[Aryan]

That is the. The meat of barstool. I've noticed over the years, it's. It's clickbait. That is kinda clickbait. That is mostly in good nature.

[Arian Foster]

That's fair.

[Aryan]

Yeah. But to get to the LeBron, I love that he's caught the bug. I think that his.

[Arian Foster]

So he's.

[Aryan]

Right now looks like he's struggling with what I struggled with for a while, which is in my backswing. My shoulders are very parallel to the ground. You want to be angled towards the ball, so you want your shoulder plane to be angled towards the ball. Gets way more depth in the back, in the backswing. And when you transfer and then. And then that shoulder rotation happens, you can get much more force. So he's losing a lot of distance right now and a lot of accuracy. I'm sure his problem is he comes over the top. I haven't seen his swing full out yet, but I'm pretty sure he comes over the top. Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

So what we're talking about is LeBron courtside, working on his golf swing, taking reps during. During an NBA game. That is. That is the surefire sign of having the bug when you're working on your swing during work.

[Aryan]

Nowhere near to this level. But like, I was. I was. I was in line at tsa and. And I was just sitting there, and my. Had already went through, and I was just waiting for it to. To go through, and I was. You know what? I'm saying just doing the little, doing that, just, you know, rocking the shoulders, getting back in the, getting back in the slot. And the security guards looking at me goes, got to get it in, man. I was like, got to get it in.

[Arian Foster]

Micah Parsons towards ACL Patrick Mahomes also towards acl. And the Chiefs will not make the playoffs. For the first time since he's been the quarterback. For the first time since 2014, I believe the Chiefs are eliminated from the playoffs. I think a lot of people made the same joke today when Dylan Raiola announced that he was going to be transferring schools inquiring about Texas Tech. Texas Tech has allegedly said they do not want Dylan Raiola. Is that true?

[Big T]

That's a shame.

[Arian Foster]

Or is that just a post from.

[Aryan]

It's. Dylan Rail is a dude that dresses like Patrick Mahomes.

[Big T]

Correct. And he's entering the transfer portal. And Texas Tech needs a quarterback for next year.

[Aryan]

Yo, my man is a stalker though. What is that? Why does he do that?

[Arian Foster]

Listen, we all have heroes, right?

[Aryan]

That's taking it too far. I was super inspired by a whole bunch of people. I don't dress like them and act like them.

[Unknown Female Host]

Him.

[Aryan]

It's weird.

[Arian Foster]

Like when I was growing up playing baseball, I turned my hat backwards like King Griffey Jr. That's different.

[Aryan]

How would you grow out your. You probably couldn't get the taper like him. But like. Or he probably had a mid fade back then.

[Arian Foster]

I had a mullet like some of my hero relief pitchers.

[Aryan]

I don't know, man. It's the. It's the mocking, the mannerisms and like the. Before the game.

[Big T]

It's.

[Aryan]

It's a little. It's a little weird, dog. It's a little weird. I don't know.

[Arian Foster]

I don't.

[Aryan]

You don't. You don't want to be a home person? I don't know. I don't know. Do you? Diego Pablo, whatever.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, he definitely had sympathy pains last night. But it's pretty fucked up that Mahomes tours ACL so that we can't really celebrate the Chiefs not making the playoffs. And Chiefs fans are like, you're. You're a bad guy.

[Big T]

Did you see that? He still has not taken a snap in his career while mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

[Arian Foster]

I did see that. Yeah. And the streak continues. Congratulations to McKenzie. McKenzie. Big comeback win yesterday against the Patriots. Josh Allen puked and then he. That. That's like Clark Kent going into the phone booth, right? Josh Allen just puking on the sidelines.

[Unknown Female Host]

He's like, yeah, I usually do that. If not. If I don't get it all out pregame, it usually happens. Like they must just not pick it up. Usually on camera.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, I need a puke cam from now on.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah. And father.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, full of father to be father to Be depends on when you believe life begins. Life begins.

[Unknown Female Host]

Right.

[Arian Foster]

But yeah, he had sex. Breaking news. Josh Allen did it. He's going to be a dad. And this is looking pretty good for the Bills right now. It's looking pretty good. They. They suck against everybody, but they're always good enough to overcome their suck.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Unknown Female Host]

Their second half team for sure.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. They got to figure out that first half a little bit.

[Unknown Female Host]

They got to figure out the defense a little bit.

[Arian Foster]

Well, their. Their best corner was out yesterday at the last minute. And the Patriots are a good team.

[Unknown Female Host]

They are.

[Arian Foster]

And this was a. This is a big win for the Bills.

[Big T]

So very.

[Arian Foster]

If this is going to. Now, if the Bills won the super bowl, would it be at all sullied by the fact that they would have had to go through an AFC in the postseason with no Patrick Mahomes?

[Unknown Female Host]

No.

[Arian Foster]

Okay.

[Unknown Female Host]

That's better.

[Arian Foster]

Good. That's better. If that's okay. That's the appropriate response.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

Good, good.

[Arian Foster]

So we won the super bowl in the best year ever.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yes.

[Arian Foster]

So it's almost like winning two Super Bowls.

[Big T]

Yes.

[Arian Foster]

What about when chief fans would say, well, you did in a year where you didn't have to beat us.

[Unknown Female Host]

Don't care what they think.

[Arian Foster]

Okay.

[Unknown Female Host]

Don't care about their opinion whatsoever.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, these are great points. I'm just testing you, mackenzie, because if that day does come, the Chiefs fans will bring this up.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah, that's fine.

[Arian Foster]

You gotta be ready for it.

[Unknown Female Host]

They can.

[Aryan]

What are the. What are the odds? Give me the top four teams. Odd wise Vegas is saying is going to win a Super Bowl.

[Arian Foster]

Oh, big T. Can you bring it up? Because I want to guess.

[Big T]

Oh, I wanted to guess. Will y' all bring it up?

[Unknown Female Host]

Yes.

[Arian Foster]

Super bowl odds per draft Wednesday.

[Aryan]

Will y' all bring it over?

[Big T]

And I don't talk like that.

[Aryan]

You just said it.

[Big T]

Yeah, I did say that. I didn't say it like you said. I said it.

[Arian Foster]

You know what pisses me off is people using it back. People using y' all online that have never said the word.

[Big T]

Oh. It's become far too ubiquitous and it's people from New York trying to do it. It's a whole.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. I have used y' all in my life a fair amount. I would never type it out online.

[Big T]

Oh, really?

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, I would never. And I'm not. Because I'm not a y' all guy. I have said, y' all know.

[Big T]

I respect that.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. I've got like, yeah, I've got y' all in my blood. But I would never, in a Million years. Type out y'. All.

[Big T]

Interesting. So we're going to guess Rams. Okay.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah. Guess your three. Can I. Can I say something on DraftKings? The third place, there are two. Like, there's two teams tied for the odds.

[Arian Foster]

Okay. So perfect.

[Aryan]

We'll go with them.

[Arian Foster]

Okay. I'm going to go. Yeah. Rams. Good choice.

[Big T]

Big T. Do you think the Patriots are up there?

[Arian Foster]

I don't. I don't think they are. I think.

[Big T]

Bills.

[Arian Foster]

I think the Bills are good. No, I think the Broncos might.

[Aryan]

I think it's Broncos.

[Arian Foster]

I'm second because it looks like they might get home field. I would say, like, Rams, Broncos, Seahawks.

[Big T]

They can't be that high.

[Arian Foster]

Who else is there?

[Aryan]

I'm gonna go Rams, Broncos, and Bills.

[Arian Foster]

I think it might be the. It might be the Seahawks and the Patriots might be tied.

[Aryan]

But I'm Rams, Broncos.

[Big T]

Bill.

[Aryan]

I'm gonna go Rams, Broncos, Bills, and I guess my little Cinderella, bears.

[Unknown Female Host]

Okay, so plus 310 LA Rams. Plus 650 Seahawks. And then at plus 800, we have the Broncos and the Bills.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Big T]

Where are the Patriots?

[Unknown Female Host]

The patriots are currently at plus 1500.

[Big T]

Wow.

[Aryan]

They don't believe. People don't believe.

[Unknown Female Host]

Texans are plus 1200.

[Arian Foster]

The Texans are more likely, per Vegas.

[Aryan]

Wow.

[Arian Foster]

Interesting. They would have to play if the playoffs started today. I think the Patriots would have to play against the Texans first round.

[Unknown Female Host]

That defense.

[Arian Foster]

That defense. It's a scary defense. I'm excited about these playoffs.

[White Boy Rick]

I am.

[Arian Foster]

Even though the commanders are not a part of it. I'm still. I'm still excited. Get a big win against the Giants yesterday.

[Big T]

You got to be used to that after all these years.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Well, I mean, the thought has occurred to me, like, what if. What if last year was as good as it gets?

[Big T]

A strong chance.

[Arian Foster]

It was a great time.

[Big T]

Listen, I've seen. And that's coming from someone who has seen. As good as it gets.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Big T]

I promise it does. I've been up 25 points in the Super Bowl. That is as good as it gets short of winning it, which won't ever happen. So I've literally. I've seen.

[Aryan]

Did they win the Dirty Bird year?

[Big T]

They did not.

[Arian Foster]

Damn.

[Big T]

They're owing to him.

[Aryan]

Shout out to him.

[Arian Foster]

Lost to the Broncos, Right?

[Big T]

Yep.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. If. If last year was. Was the peak. What. What a peak it was. I enjoyed every second of it. Two playoff victories, NFC Championship game. That's probably all the universe has in store for me. So we'll just. We'll move on. We'll pick up the pieces Your life.

[Unknown Female Host]

Is good in other ways.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, my life is great in other ways. It's. That might be the peak of the commanders part of my life.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

With jmu. Listen, big year for jmu. I just got to pivot. We're probably Billy Madison. We got Billy Napier, DJ Lagway. What do you think about that? Big T. DJ Lagway has entered the portal. He's a Billy guy. He's a Billy Napier guy. My. My theory is that the relationship is so strong that DJ said, I. Wherever Billy goes, I go jmu.

[Big T]

Suppose it is possible.

[Arian Foster]

It's possible. Probably not going to happen.

[Big T]

Didn't look great this year.

[Arian Foster]

He beat Texas.

[Big T]

Okay.

[Arian Foster]

He also threw five picks against lsu.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Is he good?

[Big T]

Tbd. He was hurt this year. I think he maybe should have not played the whole season. He was hurt since spring.

[Arian Foster]

Okay.

[Big T]

But, yeah, I mean, that'd be a big get.

[Arian Foster]

Who would you bet on if you had to bet today, Jamie? Oregon. 21 and a half.

[Big T]

The. The hook outside of 21 makes me think twice, but, I mean, this is a. Josh Pate, I think, made a really good point on his show, which was, it's extremely rare you get one of these games where the team with the talent Advantage is fully 100% focused on a lesser opponent. Like, normally these games, your resting starters, or it's a trap game between, you know, South Carolina and Florida or whatever. Oregon is 1000% focused on JMU.

[Arian Foster]

A thousand percent focused, I would hope.

[Big T]

And they have a tremendous talent, size, speed, coaching advantage. So. Coaching well, just from the standpoint. Well, I mean, yeah, Dan Landing is a top five coach in the sport, but also JMU's staff is leaving. It's. Listen, you're in the College Football Playoff.

[Arian Foster]

Brother, which was my Super Bowl. Getting there was my super bowl. But now I realize I have to actually play the game. And there's a big chance of my super bowl victory actually being the worst thing.

[Big T]

Well, you already. You won the Sunbelt. Listen, James Madison was in The FCs, what, three or four years ago, and they just won a conference championship and they're in the College Football Playoff.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Big T]

That's not. Not joking. That's like, incredible.

[Arian Foster]

Pretty good.

[Big T]

I actually remember having these conversations with EBO when it was rumored that they were exploring coming up to fbs. And I was like, it is a much better state as a program to, like, be competing for FCS national championships than getting the shit kicked out of you and fbs. And that's not what's happened. So credit to JMU There we go.

[Arian Foster]

Let's just cover. Let's cover the spread.

[Aryan]

Jmu.

[Big T]

You betting on it?

[Arian Foster]

I already bet. I bet the second line came out because I thought when I saw 21 and a half, I was like, this is going to come down to 21 or 20 pretty shortly. And it did. It dropped down to 20.5 and then it went back up.

[Big T]

So you got 21 and a half?

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, I got 21 and a half.

[Big T]

I love that.

[Arian Foster]

A brief period of time was good.

[Big T]

Value just for, for solidarity. I might take that with you.

[Arian Foster]

Listen, we're going to play four quarters.

[Aryan]

Hey, isn't like, it's like you betting with your team with strokes? You know what I mean?

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, no, that's exactly what it is. Oregon's a scratch. It's a scratch handicapper. It's me versus Luke Kwan. That's. That's actually about exactly what this would be.

[Aryan]

And you know, you know, Oregon could sleep on you.

[Arian Foster]

They might, they might not wake up.

[Big T]

They got to put their pants on too.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, I like this. All right, we got some other stuff to talk about in the news today. I don't know what's going to happen by the time this comes out, but right now nobody has any idea who the mass shooter at Brown University was yesterday, which is pretty crazy.

[Big T]

They actually. I just. Literally just this second across my timeline, there's a new video. Providence police have released a second video of the Brown University suspect can be seen walking in all back black clothes and still remains at large. Has not been captured despite more than 800 cameras in the surrounding area. It's just a guy walking down the street. You can't tell.

[Arian Foster]

Wearing all black.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Which I imagine is probably a pretty common outfit to be wearing this time of year when you got like heavy coats. Most of them tend to be dark colored. But I don't know how it's possible for somebody to do this and get away with it, like to, to leave the scene. And I was telling Big T before we started taping and back in my day, somebody would do something like this and they would, they would just off themselves at the end of it. But in the last five years, it's like they, they don't do that. They like get caught at a crazy clip. You remember that, Aaron? Like all the, all the school shooters and from the late 90s 2000s, any mass shooter would just, they'd pop themselves at the end of it.

[Aryan]

I don't, I don't think so. The, the Columbine shooters, they didn't right yeah, they did.

[Big T]

No, they did.

[Aryan]

They did. What about the. The Colorado? I'm thinking Colorado, dude, the movie theater guy. Aurora. Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, you're right. That might have been the first one that I remember. But usually what happens is, like, what.

[Aryan]

About the Virginia Tech sho. Did he kill himself?

[Big T]

Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

But what would happen is, like, they. They would either kill themselves at the end of it, or they would, like, get into a shootout with the cops and get killed that way.

[Aryan]

Yeah, but it's wild. We have. We're starting to identify the. The characteristics of mass shooters in America is insane.

[Arian Foster]

And how they've changed. Yeah. Like now people go into this and they're like, okay, that's enough for me. I'm done. Time to get away.

[Aryan]

Well, so how many people died?

[Arian Foster]

11 people got shot.

[Unknown Female Host]

Two, I believe.

[Arian Foster]

Two confirmed died. And then they picked up somebody yesterday, and they're like, we got a person of interest. The person's name was leaked to the media. And then everybody dove into this person's background. They found out who he was, and then they interviewed him. They took some forensics on some guns that he owned, and then they released him. They're like, wrong guy. After the name was leaked. And so that guy is probably going to sue, I think. I was telling big T2, I think cash might be on his last legs here. I feel like he always looks like.

[Aryan]

He doesn't know what's going on, like, ever. Even when he does.

[Arian Foster]

I. I have no idea what goes on behind the scenes with Cash, but I do know that, like, the way that he tweets about it when they make an arrest, it doesn't seem like a way that an FBI director should be, like, discussing things publicly. So when it happened, he posted update on the shooting. At Brown University, we established a command post to intake, develop and analyze leads and run them to ground. We activated the FBI's Cellular Analysis Survey team to provide critical geolocation capabilities. As. As a result, we an assistance from the US Marshals and Coventry, Rhode Island Police Department detained a person of interest in a hotel room. We deployed local and national resources to process and reconstruct the shooting scene, providing HQ and lab elements on scene. We set up a digital media intake portal to ingest images and video from the public related to this incident. And the victim specialists are fully integrating with our partners to provide resources to victims and survivors. The way that. The way that he posts about it seems like he is a CEO that's like bragging about their company's capabilities because they want to get More investment or move more product. Right. Not in a way like him posting all this right here. That's him being like, look how cool we are. Look what we did.

[Aryan]

And here's it even necessary to inform us.

[Arian Foster]

I would say it's probably not counter. Counterproductive to do it because, like, the way that the FBI should operate is people don't need to know all this.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Like, if anything, you're giving too much information to the next person that's going to commit a crime. And then they're like, well, they have their digital intake portal that they're going to be running their through. And it just seems like too much information to be like, hey, I'm almost, like, bragging about it, about the way that they did it. And I feel like there's so many, like, career law enforcement people that work at the FBI that are going to see that and be like, this guy. I. I don't know why he's doing this, but I don't like it. I feel like cash might be on the way out. That's just a guess that I have.

[Aryan]

Had maybe the funniest quote of all time, dog. When Charlie Kirk died and he said, rest now, brother. We have the watch. Like, see you in Valhalla or something like that.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, yeah. Valhalla being a famously Christian representation of heaven.

[Aryan]

It's just so funny. All of so many accounts, like, brother. And, you know, like, he ran it by somebody he loves. Right. And they're like, yeah, you cooked.

[Arian Foster]

Stick to podcasting. Some of us are. We're not built. I'd be a terrible head of the FBI. I'll be the first one to say it.

[Aryan]

I'd be the worst.

[Arian Foster]

I think I'd be worse than you.

[Aryan]

I'm going for everybody in the department first.

[Arian Foster]

Arrest yourselves.

[Aryan]

Cleaning them. Cleaning that out.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

Well, a whole bunch of files, Chris.

[Arian Foster]

So we'll see what happens with that. It's a bad situation.

[Big T]

That could actually be a good platform for FBI director. Like the guy who said he was going to become president and sign one bill dissolving the federal government. You run. I mean, you don't run for FBI director, but your pitch is, if I become FBI Director, everyone in the FBI is going to prison.

[Arian Foster]

They're all fired.

[Big T]

That's draining the swamp.

[Arian Foster]

Who's going to arrest him?

[Big T]

You?

[Aryan]

CIA?

[Arian Foster]

Personally.

[Big T]

I mean. Yeah. I don't.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. See?

[Big T]

Well, you just have to have.

[Aryan]

Have the CIA arrest the FBI and then fire. Hire a whole new FBI department to arrest all the CIA.

[Big T]

The CIA doesn't arrest People, though.

[Arian Foster]

Well, they can torture them.

[Big T]

Yeah. Boom. But you only need, like, okay, let's say just for easy.

[Aryan]

They can, though, can't they?

[Arian Foster]

The CIA, they. No, the CIA is not allowed to do any sort of activity. They're not supposed to within the United States. They're foreign.

[Big T]

They're not a law enforcement agency. They're.

[Aryan]

Look at that.

[Big T]

Intelligence agency.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. They're not supposed to do any. Any sort of operations inside the States. They. They have, and they probably continue to. But they would not be allowed to arrest the FBI.

[Aryan]

They can. They can detain them, you know.

[Big T]

Yeah, I guess, for like, questioning the.

[Arian Foster]

One branch, one branch of the military, slash law enforcement that has, like, 100 public trust, the Cajun Navy.

[Big T]

And I know what that is, but.

[Arian Foster]

Why don't you tell everyone they're not actually like a. A branch of the military. They are the Cajun Navy. They show up when there's, like, a hurricane or a massive flood, and they've got their fan boats, they've got the speedboats, the fishing boats, and they show up with, like, you know, heavy equipment, their trucks. I think a lot of them probably work running construction companies, and they get shit done on the ground. They're the one. One group that, if I was trapped in a flood, I'd be like, thank God the Cajun Navy's here.

[Aryan]

I've never heard of them. This is kind of dope. So they're like, What is. What.

[Arian Foster]

What is.

[Aryan]

What is Batman? What are they called?

[Arian Foster]

Vigilante.

[Aryan]

Vigilante philanthropists.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Yeah. Vigilante superheroes.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

But they're very well organized.

[Aryan]

As most vigilantes are.

[Arian Foster]

Speaking of the Navy, Big T. You watch the Army Navy game?

[Big T]

Always.

[Arian Foster]

Why did they not show the flyover?

[Big T]

I saw some. You know how on Twitter if you get a for you tweet, but then sometimes they'll go away and you can never find them again. At the top, I saw someone say it was intentional for some reason, but I. I could never. I couldn't find it, and I couldn't discern why that would be. I mean, I guess obviously it was intentional because they didn't do it, but why would they not want to?

[Arian Foster]

That's one of my favorite parts of the game, and they took it from us.

[Big T]

Did you end up finding a video?

[Arian Foster]

I found a video that was taken from. Yeah. Somebody inside the stadium, which was nice. It was F18. Hornets. Super Hornets. Pretty cool. Pretty standard. I was just. I was disappointed that they didn't show it. I was all ready for it. At least we got a good coin flip, though, right.

[Big T]

I was curious if they were going to make him redo it, because I have seen them make people redo it. But you can't.

[Arian Foster]

You. No way can you even ask that question.

[Big T]

Right.

[Arian Foster]

What do you think he would have said?

[Big T]

I think he would have made a show of it. He's like, oh, we need a better one, don't we, folks? We need a better coin toss.

[Arian Foster]

Okay. And then the best one of all time.

[Big T]

Yeah. And then it would have been.

[Arian Foster]

What if they just. Yeah, we need. We need a recount, sir.

[Big T]

I mean, he. He just dropped it straight down.

[Arian Foster]

Well, it was a. You know what it was?

[Big T]

He laid it flat on his palm and just barely toss it up. So it didn't flip at all.

[Aryan]

It looked like a fix. Who's he rooting for?

[Arian Foster]

I don't know.

[Big T]

Well, they do the thing where he spends half the game on each sideline. Right. So that he. It's to. To show that he's impartial.

[Aryan]

The coin flip looks kind of sus.

[Big T]

But, I mean, it doesn't matter.

[Arian Foster]

No, it doesn't matter.

[Big T]

Unless you have a strong, strong preference for, you know, starting with the ballers.

[Arian Foster]

It's probably bad coin.

[Aryan]

There you go.

[Arian Foster]

It's probably a trick coin.

[Big T]

And I actually think army won the toss. I think they made the wrong call. They deferred. I think if you're. If you're a touchdown underdog, you take the ball, try to go score.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, I would agree with that.

[Big T]

Especially in a game with limited possessions.

[Arian Foster]

I would agree with that.

[Aryan]

A lot of passing does is hilarious, bro. This cornflies.

[Arian Foster]

I hadn't really.

[Aryan]

I heard about a flip. I'm just looking at. It's so funny.

[Big T]

And he holds his hand there. It's perfect.

[Aryan]

What are you doing? It was like, that dude is hilarious, man.

[Arian Foster]

That anime with the butterfly. Yeah, that's what he looked like. Yeah. He's incapable of doing anything normally, which we all. We all benefit from it as consumers of content.

[Aryan]

They, like, threw it at the dude, too, is right at this Harry.

[Big T]

And it was the. There's a tweet that goes around every time he tweets something funny or whatever it's from. I don't know who it's from, but it says, unfortunately, he has another banger. That's what the coin toss was.

[Aryan]

Yep.

[Arian Foster]

I did ask Big T to send me the. The clip of him talking about the Army Navy game when he was up in the booth a few years ago when he was like, it's not the Best football. But it's good.

[Big T]

But it's good. We love it, don't we? And I think one of them was ranked at the time.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, I was. So I was re. Watching it, and it's one of the funniest clips I've ever seen. And I was trying to think of why he. He decided to go there with it. I think it's because at that. At the game, it's a very special game. If you haven't been to the Army Navy game, I would recommend going to it. It's unlike anything else you've ever seen in football. I like the pageantry around it. I like when they do the. The prisoner exchange at the start. I like when you. You have the paratroopers coming down. I like the singing at the end. Everything about it is. Is fascinating and. And a joy to watch. I think he was. He might have gotten a little bit jealous at the game that everyone is talking about how great these individuals are that play in this game and what it means. And he's just like, it's not the best. It's. It's great, but it's not the best.

[Big T]

By the way. Yeah, that was the 2016 game. Navy was 9 and 2 and number 25 in the country.

[Arian Foster]

Okay. I was I at that game or I was at the one either 2016 or 2017.

[Big T]

This game was at MNT Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

[Arian Foster]

I was not at that one. I was at the one in Philly.

[Big T]

I went to New York one time. It's awesome. If it's ever in where you live and you haven't been to one, you should definitely go. It's awesome.

[Arian Foster]

We got some breaking news right now. Looks like the commanders are shutting Jaden Daniels down for the rest of the year. I think that's probably the right move. That's right. He never should have played in that game against Minnesota because he wasn't 100%. All right, well, maybe. Yep. Maybe 2024 was as good as it gets for the commanders, boys.

[Aryan]

No faith.

[Arian Foster]

Well, would you.

[Aryan]

Nope.

[Arian Foster]

Yep.

[Aryan]

Since y' all uniforms so shitty that I feel like you can't be good until you do something about that.

[Arian Foster]

Agreed.

[Big T]

Gotta make the throwbacks the. The permanent.

[Arian Foster]

I think they will.

[Big T]

I've heard the Falcons are getting new uniforms next year, and they might be doing, like, permanent throwbacks kind of the.

[Aryan]

The ones with the. With the black and then the red versions of.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

And they got some of that. That's top five to me. Top five.

[Big T]

It's. And it's. It's so Simple. The black jersey with the old logo on the sleeve. And I don't even care if you do black or red helmet. I think they're both good. Like, that's all you have to do.

[Aryan]

I think, man, that.

[Arian Foster]

That Thursday night game, Buccaneers, Falcons, that was the best uniform matchup I might have ever seen.

[Big T]

It was great.

[Aryan]

Hold on, let me see it. Which one was it?

[Big T]

The Falcons wore the throwbacks and the Bucks wore their Creamsicle. And as soon as the Falcons were eliminated from playoff contention, Kirk Cousins said, you know what? Let's just win. Down by 14 with five minutes left.

[Aryan]

Oh, yeah, look at this. I hadn't seen the game.

[Arian Foster]

It was beautiful, wasn't it?

[Aryan]

It's gorgeous. This is exactly what we talk about. Pft.

[Arian Foster]

Yep.

[Aryan]

When. When. When two beautifully colored teams come together and just create this aesthetic sweet potato pie. It's beautiful.

[Big T]

By the way, Aaron, you know what happened in that game that we talked about recently? Falcons were down 14 with six or seven minutes left. Scored, went for two, didn't get it. Scored again. Obviously went for it again. Also didn't get it. But then they ended up with the ball back one more time and kicked a field goal and one.

[Aryan]

Well, Marion was right.

[Arian Foster]

Yep.

[Aryan]

That is a gorgeous orange dog with that black and the red.

[Big T]

That's.

[Aryan]

That's. I like to watch this game. It's beautiful. Beautiful. Love it.

[Big T]

I don't remember if I've asked this trivia question on the show before, but if you look on those Falcons helmets, they're red and black, obviously, but there's a thin gold stripe on the helmet. Do you know why that is?

[Aryan]

I did not notice.

[Arian Foster]

No.

[Big T]

It's because in 1966, when the team was established, they said they were going to have the colors of both the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech. And then at somewhere along the way, they just completely disregarded Georgia Tech, but they kept a thin gold stripe on the helmet to have both.

[Arian Foster]

I did not know that.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

That's hilarious.

[Big T]

Yeah. So there's a gold stripe on that helmet for, like. It looks out of place if you.

[Arian Foster]

Really look at it, but it does. Yeah. Okay, there it is. Georgia Tech representation. Big T, you sent along another thing from the news that I've not had a chance to watch it. Chuck Schumer will comment on this weekend's shootings as soon as he's done glazing.

[Big T]

Josh Allen, go click on the video and play it.

[Arian Foster]

Okay.

[Big T]

It's sad, but it's very funny.

[Arian Foster]

And of course, I'm going to say a few Words about the terrible shooting in Sydney, Australia. Okay, so. And first, of course, as I always say, no matter what, go Bills. They beat the Patriots today. It's a big deal. And Chuck, Is this how he always starts every address?

[Big T]

I don't know. Is that better or worse than the burgers?

[Arian Foster]

What do you mean?

[Big T]

When he put the cheese on the raw burger.

[Aryan]

Oh, yeah.

[Big T]

I'll get to the shootings in a minute. But first, go Bills.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, I. This might be the way that he starts every address, because it sounds like that's what he said. Chuck, what is. What is it that you'd say you do here? I mean that sincerely. Sincerely. What does Chuck Schumer do besides just make everybody pissed off all the time? Does he. Are there. Chuck Schumer stands out there that I'm not familiar with?

[Aryan]

Yeah, they're. They're on, like, CNN and shit.

[Arian Foster]

But why?

[Aryan]

I think that. That there's a large swath of, like, older establishment Democrats that, like, love status quo.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

And so they're like, I like the way things are. Yeah. Let's keep it like that. And I'm gonna. I'm gonna sabotage any progress to stay right the here.

[Arian Foster]

Let's not upset anybody. They're gonna fight the feathers.

[Aryan]

I don't want to be, like, a racist, but I don't want to, like, fight against it like that.

[Arian Foster]

In theory, I'm against racism.

[Aryan]

And then I seen this one, too. One time, they said, he said, I'm not racist, but, oh, I'm this close when I'm this close to racism.

[Arian Foster]

But, you know, sometimes in traffic, you know. Yeah, Chuck, get somebody. Get Chuck out of the paint. Get him out of here.

[Aryan]

I'm cool. I'm cool. Get him out of there.

[Arian Foster]

Get him out. But first, go. Go Bills. I do agree with the go Bills part of that address. There was another thing that Big T sent over.

[Aryan]

I'm.

[Arian Foster]

I'm fascinated by this. Apparently, the entire eastern United States is an island.

[Big T]

I'm curious on your thoughts about this. You have to include a little bit of Canada, right?

[Arian Foster]

Because you got the. That's a St. Lawrence river, right?

[Big T]

I think so.

[Arian Foster]

So that goes down above New Brunswick. It goes down through Montreal, flows through the Great Lakes, Erie, Ontario, Huron, and Michigan. And then there's a river in Chicago that goes into Lake Michigan. That river then connects with the Mississippi river, which flows down to the Gulf of America. Gulf of Mexico.

[Big T]

Please don't.

[Arian Foster]

Dead name is the United States. Is the eastern United States an island?

[Big T]

It appears by the definition. Does it have to be One contiguous body of water surrounding a landmass to be an island.

[Arian Foster]

But if the water flows into other water, it's all. It's all. It's all water.

[Big T]

It seems by the technical definition that. Yes, from, you know, St. Louis and New Orleans over east.

[Arian Foster]

Could you then say that North America in its entirety is a. Is an island because you've got the Arctic Sea at the top, you've got Pacific Ocean.

[Aryan]

Well, because there's 70% water, technically, everything.

[Big T]

Every continent's an island.

[Arian Foster]

No, no, but if it's. If there's one piece of water that is not an ocean, like the Panama Canal. Arian, you're familiar with that. Like the Panama Canal, it separates all of North America. Is South America an island?

[Big T]

Every continent is an island. If you take it macro scale enough.

[Aryan]

But yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Which. Which part of America would I live in? What kind of American am I? Which am I outside the river? Where does the river connect and where does it flow? I need to look at a map of Chicago to figure out if I'm on the island, if I'm an island boy, or if this is a west coaster.

[Big T]

So since we're west of the Chicago.

[Arian Foster]

River, we might be.

[Big T]

We're actually not part of the island.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, we might be mainlanders. Let's see, where does it flow? There it goes.

[Big T]

I mean, you know where the Chicago river is.

[Arian Foster]

I do, I just didn't know. Yeah, we're. Listen, we're mainlanders.

[Big T]

Yeah. So we're on. We're on the west coast.

[Arian Foster]

So o', Hare, that's on the west coast. And Midway is an island airport. That's pretty crazy. It did blow my mind when I looked at this.

[Aryan]

You never think of it like that.

[Arian Foster]

No.

[Big T]

You've been to Midway?

[Arian Foster]

I have.

[Big T]

Do you like it?

[Arian Foster]

It's fine.

[Big T]

Bad airport.

[Arian Foster]

Bad airport.

[Big T]

Bad airport.

[Arian Foster]

Sounds like you're disciplining.

[Big T]

Yeah, it is a battery airport.

[Aryan]

Oh, I love Lando.

[Big T]

Really?

[Aryan]

It's bad airport.

[Unknown Female Host]

I hate o'. Hare.

[Big T]

See, I find o' Hare to be perfectly acceptable.

[Unknown Female Host]

No, me too.

[Big T]

I've. I've never waited more than two minutes in security.

[Unknown Female Host]

I've never waited more than two minutes in security in Midway.

[Arian Foster]

Midway's got a lot of Southwest.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah, that's what I fly out of there.

[Aryan]

Oh, by the way, I thought of you. Big deal. My way to Panama, go into the country, boom, stamped my passport.

[Big T]

Really?

[Aryan]

Yeah. And I thought I was, you know, I don't know. I don't know the rules. Like, when do you stamp and when do you not stamp? Because I have some stamps. I have some not stamps.

[Big T]

I don't know. I think you can always ask for it, but they don't always do it on their own.

[Aryan]

Got you another thing that was wild when I went to Panama. Texting people back in the States, for whatever reason, you go into that country and it disables your gifts. Oh, like via text. I had no gifts. I like there. I. So I googled what was happening. They're like, yeah, you have to go into your settings and rechange.

[Big T]

Blah, blah, blah.

[Aryan]

Why the. So, like, you know how you go to your little plus thing on your phone app? Couldn't send gifts. It was not available. Wow.

[Arian Foster]

They hate memes over there.

[Aryan]

I guess so. Man.

[Arian Foster]

We'll get back to macrodosing. It's brought to you by Sport Clips. This holiday season's packed. You got football to watch, relatives to visit, presents that you need to buy at the last minute.

It's a game changer. What else we got in the news today? I don't really want to talk about the Australian shooting. It's just depressing.

[Unknown Female Host]

Rob Reiner.

[Arian Foster]

That's also depressing.

[Big T]

It's a bad weekend.

[Arian Foster]

It was a bad weekend.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah, but do you want to talk about Barry Weiss and Erica Kirk?

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. So, I mean, the whole Erica Kirk vs. Candace Owens thing is. It's kind of crazy.

[Aryan]

They're gonna. Oh, they're gonna talk.

[Big T]

It's not like televised. Yeah, but she said that she was sitting down with Candace Owens, which seems overdue.

[Aryan]

I mean, I. I don't know. I don't know. The dynamic of their relationship. If. If. If I got a shorty and she get popped and I got somebody running out of defaming her, I'm not talking to you. We don't got nothing to talk about.

[Big T]

Yeah. I guess the argument would be like, you shouldn't have to sit down with somebody to have them not be spewing crazy shit about your dead husband.

[Arian Foster]

Agreed. I think the difference is that Erica Kirk has now found herself leading a massive conservative media company. And one of the loudest voices and most popular individuals in that same ecosphere is Candace Owens. And I feel like for the future of her company, she feels like she has to sit down and, like, try to squash this.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Which is. It's a very strange position for her to be in. And Candace is just. She is raking in the views right now.

[Aryan]

Yeah. I don't know, man. That's. I never want to tell anybody how to grieve.

[Arian Foster]

Right. That's the thing. It's like, if you go through a traumatic period like that, if you dissect, if there was a camera on you for every second, or at least, you know, not every second, but she's been on camera a lot after. After Charles was show.

[Aryan]

That's really interesting thing to me, not insinuating anything, but I'm just saying if I'm in her position, I don't know that I go on podcast with her to talk. I mean, and maybe that's the way of you dealing with it. In that same vein, did you see that motherfucker? Did you see Conan and that. That podcast clip? Will Arnett and his friends were talking about how he was basically making fun of his dad's death and blaming it on his friend. I'm not gonna. I'm a butcher. Paraphrasing it, but it was hilarious. He was like, yo, this is how I grieve. And he was basically just explaining so people that hasn't seen it. Conan got a friend. He was like, talking about he just lost his dad and his friend. You said, sorry to hear that. And then Conan jokingly said, you know, I forget his name's like, Arnett or something like that.

[Arian Foster]

He goes, will Arnett?

[Aryan]

Yeah, I think. What is there?

[Unknown Female Host]

Well, Will Arnett was the one he was talking to. Jason Bateman is the one that they were saying is the killer blamed him.

[Aryan]

Yeah. Okay. So, yeah, I think Bateman killed him. And he said, what? Yeah, Blakeman killed my dad. And then later on, Bateman heard. He was like, I heard, you're on to me. And then. And it was Like, a funny exchange. And then his mom died, like, two days later, which is very sad. And. And then I think Arnett Darnett goes, Bateman is looking for your sister.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah.

[Aryan]

Well, you give. And then Conan hits. Yeah, here's our address. Tell them to make it look like a robbery. So it's, like, extremely funny. And, like, I think you have to have a really dark sense of humor to understand it. That's, like, how I grieve like that. Like, when something happens like that, I laugh and I joke about it. Cause it's the only way I've known to grieve. And so everybody has a different way of grieving. Like, so it's interesting. But I type in Conan grieving with friends or whatever on their podcast. One of the funniest things I've seen on the Internet.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, it is good. But, yeah, with the. The Candace stuff, it's like she's. Erica Kirk has found herself in a spot where now she has. She's leading the media company. And so she's put herself on camera a lot. As you're grieving, people are going to dissect whatever it is you do in front of a camera. If you're not grieving enough, they're gonna have judgments on that. If you're grieving too much, they're gonna be like, you shouldn't be in charge of this company. It's a. And she. The way that she's handled it, through her whatever PR or crisis management that's been advising her, is that a pretty bad job? To say the least. But now I don't think there's no correct way.

[Aryan]

Like, I'll never judge how somebody else grieves.

[Arian Foster]

Right.

[Aryan]

I just know how I. If what would piss me off is people talking about my loved one. Right. And so to. And I know. And he was such a polarizing figure. And there's. There's no way you're getting around this, or. There's no way I'm doing anything online. I'm not reading anything. I'm not logging on anything just to get away from it. All right. But it's tough, you know, you gotta do what you gotta do.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. So they're having a powwow, but. Yeah. Erica sat down with Barry Weiss.

[Aryan]

Who?

[Arian Foster]

Barry Weiss. She's got a lot of fans, right?

[Unknown Female Host]

I can't name one.

[Big T]

Yeah.

[Arian Foster]

Why Barry Weiss? Why is. Why is she doing what. Whatever it is she's doing.

[Unknown Female Host]

I was actually about to ask you the same question.

[Arian Foster]

I don't know. I don't think she's Ever had. Like when she was at the New York Times.

[Unknown Female Host]

She was an op ed writer.

[Arian Foster]

She was an op ed writer.

[Unknown Female Host]

And she's a writer, not a journalist.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, nobody really particularly loved her, but I guess she drew a lot of hate clicks because she was more on the conservative side.

[Unknown Female Host]

She was writing on the more conservative side. But then would say that she's a left leaning centrist.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. But then I don't think conservatives really care for her much either.

[Unknown Female Host]

I don't think anyone cares. When you ride the fence like that, I think it's hard to find a group that actually cares about your opinions. And if you're not willing to stand.

[Arian Foster]

Up for anything and if you're editor in chief of something, you don't necessarily have to put yourself front and center in all the.

[Unknown Female Host]

Right now she's. Now she's like the spokeswoman of CBS.

[Arian Foster]

News, which she's not particularly good at.

[Unknown Female Host]

That's also true. And I find her to be an awful interviewer as well.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, I would agree with that.

[Unknown Female Host]

And I don't understand also why CBS News thought this was a good idea for her to take over.

[Arian Foster]

Candace is just crushing everybody, though. She's dominant.

[Unknown Female Host]

How many views is Candace Owens getting on like one episode?

[Arian Foster]

She's dominant. My only my worry as a fan of Candace is I fear that this, it might be taking her eye off the ball on whether or not the French first lady is a man. That's a good question. I don't know.

[Aryan]

I don't know.

[Arian Foster]

But this is her new thing now. She might just be like, hey, Judge, that's so loud.

[Big T]

I moved on.

[Arian Foster]

I've moved on. Like, why are you bringing up old stuff?

[Aryan]

So what's her current claim about Charlie Kirk's death?

[Arian Foster]

She's doing the asking questions I just.

[Big T]

See every four or five days, like on the show tonight, there's a bombshell and then I never see a bombshell. So she's done that six or seven times.

[Arian Foster]

I think she's publicly, she's publicly questioned the, the narrative of a.30 06 round being the bullet that killed him, which if you like, know anything about ballistics, which I don't really, but I know enough about like hunting rifles and rifles to know that with a rifle like that, you usually get a pretty sizable exit which wound. But where I differ from what Candace is saying is that like every time you find out stuff through the news or even sometimes from the people that are doing the investigating of something that just happened, they get wrong all the time. And so just because like one person said, 30 out 6 round doesn't necessarily mean that that's. There's not different types of 30:06 rounds that are less likely to, to leave an exit wound. And the people screw stuff up all the time during breaking news. And so if you hear something reported about, oh, this, well, he left the rooftop wearing this, or he had this backpack or he threw the gun off fully assembled. Oh, it wasn't assembled. That's usually explained just by people getting stuff wrong. And you don't really get the full story usually until the investigation's done. That's, that's what I think she's getting most of her stuff wrong from is like pointing out inconsistencies from different reports that have been issued in the immediate aftermath. But I don't know. She's. She's raking in the views.

[Unknown Female Host]

Was she the one that brought up the Egyptian planes?

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Then there's that. And it's stuff that, like, if you don't, if you're not an expert in it, you don't really know how to explain it. And there's a lot of stuff that sounds suspicious that once you talk to somebody that knows what they're talking about, they're like, oh, yeah, that makes a little bit more sense now. Now. But there's a lot of people that are now just at each other's throats on the right, because you either have to put your support behind TP USA or you put your support behind Candace. And then it gets into a whole Ben Shapiro thing and everyone's. There's a lot of people out there that are making money based on their opinions and being, you know, drawing the most attention to themselves. And sometimes in a situation where you're dealing with, with facts, it's sometimes people that are saying the most facts that end up not getting the most views. But there was a very funny graphic that I saw. There is a big T. Have you seen the TPUSA summit?

[Big T]

No.

[Arian Foster]

The lineup for this? Yeah.

[Big T]

Oh, I did glance at that briefly.

[Arian Foster]

America Fest. I would love to edit some people into this picture. Look at that lineup.

[Big T]

Yeah, I remember looking at it.

[Arian Foster]

I would love to edit.

[Aryan]

Yeah, send it, send it, send it to the check.

[Big T]

I mean, how many people in here have you heard of the first? Like 20 or so.

[Arian Foster]

I bet there was like a month long back and forth about the order of, of how people were listed.

[Big T]

Like, who the hell is Bryce Crawford?

[Arian Foster]

Don't know.

[Big T]

Lucas Miles?

[Arian Foster]

Not familiar.

[Big T]

Jonathan Keeperman?

[Arian Foster]

Don't know.

[Big T]

Sheriff Mark Lamb. There's a new Sheriff. Literally a new sheriff in town.

[Arian Foster]

We got a new sheriff. Is he the replacement for. Who's the old guy? Sheriff Clark?

[Big T]

No, Joe Arpaio.

[Arian Foster]

Oh, well, he was the. Yeah, he was the first one, but then there was the sheriff that had the cowboy hat.

[Big T]

I thought that was Joe.

[Arian Foster]

No, this is different. I think it was Sheriff Clark. I could be wrong. So we got a new sheriff now. I'll send it over to you. But I bet there was. There were some fights and some jealousy about, like, Ben Shapiro being listed before Glenn Beck. I bet Beck was upset about that. Vivek was demoted to the second line.

[Big T]

Glenn Beck's kind of had a big comeback. He went away.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Arian Foster]

Did you see. Benny Johnson's on there? That'll be interesting.

[Aryan]

Sprinkle in a couple Negroes.

[Arian Foster]

I see Benny Johnson. He's had a. He's had a week. So there are some claims made. I think a lot of people have had strong suspicions regarding Benny over the years. I think a few years ago he posted, like, look at these ads that are being served to us on, like, the Navy's website. And he was furious. And he took a screenshot, and it was like an advertisement for a gay cruise. And he was saying that the Navy has gone gay. And then people, hey, Benny, that's. Those are targeted ads.

[Big T]

Remember when. What's the guy's name? Jason Whitlock had the. What was. Was the exact same situation, but his ad was something hysterical.

[Arian Foster]

What was Jay Witt?

[Aryan]

They say, anytime, like a Republic convention, come the. The grinder, traffic in the area spikes.

[Arian Foster]

That's what that guy Milo Yenanopoulos was saying. He was like, there's so many gay guys that are at the head of the conservative movement right now. And he just started listing names. He is, by the way, if you're wondering about Milo, he is no longer gay. I think he. He converted.

[Aryan]

I am delivered.

[Big T]

Jason Whitlock's tweet from January 1, 2024. I'm looking at NFL standings on ESPN.com. this is the ad running above the standings. How is this possible? Appropriate. And it's an ad for a birthday card that says, balls deep inside of me is a great way to spend your birthday.

[Arian Foster]

Appropriate. Sound off in the comments. Listen, Whitlock is, you know, he's. He's. He'll be the first to tell you that he's no Boy Scout. He's. He has his demons. He's battled over the years. There's some great old pictures of him just hanging around strippers. He fights every day to Stay closer.

[Big T]

To the Lord, by the way. Shout out, Shout out. Matt Shaw speaking at America Fest.

[Arian Foster]

Who's Matt Shaw?

[Big T]

He's the third baseman for the Chicago Cubs. Remember?

[Unknown Female Host]

He.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, he's a.

[Big T]

He was a good friend of Charlie Kirk's, and he went to the funeral, and some people lost their minds that he missed a game to go to the funeral.

[Arian Foster]

That's right. Yeah. It's more about who's not on the spot list. What does all this mean if you're not on this list, boy?

[Aryan]

Dave Rubin ain't on there, is he?

[Big T]

Oh, he's got to be.

[Arian Foster]

I thought I saw him.

[Aryan]

I didn't see him.

[Arian Foster]

He's gonna be right under Benny Johnson. I'm not talking about the graphic.

[Unknown Female Host]

Rob Schneider.

[Arian Foster]

Rob Schneider. I actually want to go to this because I. I want to hear. Where is it?

[Big T]

Phoenix.

[Unknown Female Host]

Phoenix.

[Arian Foster]

I want to hear, like, is it just going to be people in the audience and then people getting up on stage being like, we're fighting for the future of our country? And the next person is going to be like, we're fighting for the future of our country.

[Aryan]

Oh, we should do. We should do a bingo. Bingo shot card. We should go to this and bingo shot card that shit.

[Arian Foster]

It seems like there's. It's going to be a lot of overlapping material. Like if we're looking fucked up. That is true. If this Danica Patrick, if this was a music festival, people be like, I'm seeing the same band over and over and over again.

[Big T]

Would you rather go to the undercards or the. The main events to see what people are saying?

[Arian Foster]

I think the undercards are gonna get. So too are gonna get more crazy.

[Big T]

I think so.

[Arian Foster]

I think that's where you're gonna get all the flavor out of this.

[Big T]

You want to go to Dr. Joseph Boot.

[Arian Foster]

Dr.

[Big T]

Boot. Catherine Mango Ward. Who are these people?

[Arian Foster]

I don't know.

[Unknown Female Host]

Millicent Cedra.

[Big T]

Let's look up Catherine Mangu Ward. I want to find out what she's about.

[Arian Foster]

I want somebody. Can we Photoshop just White Sox Dave on there? I want to see what Ken Jack would do.

[Unknown Female Host]

I was going to say get Ken.

[Arian Foster]

Jack on that with this. With this banner who he would put on there. White Sox Dave performing his hit Kamalalala.

[Big T]

Katherine Mangu Ward is the editor in chief of some publication called Reason, the.

[Unknown Female Host]

Magazine of free minds and free markets.

[Big T]

Like, okay.

[Arian Foster]

Oh, Reason. Yeah. They are a historically libertarian magazine.

[Big T]

Oh, Arian. Her most recent tweet, she quoted the lineup graphic. I'll be there to argue in favor of Weed legalization as part of a formal debate. Pray for me, y', all. Is what she said. So she might. She might be an opinion.

[Arian Foster]

Like a true libertarian.

[Aryan]

Libertarian. True libertarian. That's what I'm saying. Let's get it.

[Arian Foster]

No driver's licenses.

[Big T]

What's next? A license to operate the toast in your own toaster?

[Aryan]

I'd like to see some competency operating a vehicle out of here, you dweeb.

[Big T]

To be fair, those people. Those are real libertarians. Like, they don't mess around.

[Aryan]

I think they are the funniest part. Human beings on earth. Libertarians are so funny to me.

[Arian Foster]

Like, if you're an actual libertarian.

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Big T]

They're borderline anarchists.

[Arian Foster]

They are. I would say that they. They are. Yeah.

[Aryan]

It's my. It's my. My army versus your army. My dog. What's. What's happening with your property? That's what if. If you follow that logic to its end. Who had the biggest stick family? What's happening?

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah, that pastor next to Catherine Mango Ward. The pastor. Doug Wilson. The guy who's trying to get rid of female voting.

[Big T]

I mean, we only need to be there for six hours. We get enough content.

[Aryan]

Agreed.

[Arian Foster]

So do you have to buy tickets for this? Yes.

[Big T]

I believe I'm looking at Meteoro buying tickets.

[Aryan]

It's nothing. Oh, yeah.

[Big T]

We do. Yes.

[Aryan]

If we do. Media roll. Maybe.

[Arian Foster]

Are they gonna have Media row there or.

[Big T]

I assume they've probably. I mean, this was put together, like, pretty recently. Right.

[Unknown Female Host]

We are on a waitlist.

[Big T]

Oh, applications are closed.

[Arian Foster]

What about just tickets? What about just going.

You can watch exclusively on Rumble.

[Big T]

Someone can get us into this, I'm positive.

[Unknown Female Host]

Do you guys know anyone on here?

[Big T]

We have to.

[Unknown Female Host]

You've had Dan Patrick on the show.

[Big T]

We could get in contact with Matt Shaw for sure.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah.

[Unknown Female Host]

Do you know Gutfeld?

[Aryan]

Bfg?

[Unknown Female Host]

That feels like someone that's crossing.

[Arian Foster]

I don't know Gutfeld, but that's Shaw. That's a goal of mine to get on that show at some point. Let's see. Is it America Fest or AM Fest?

[Big T]

I think am both.

[Unknown Female Host]

Yeah, America Fest.

[Arian Foster]

America Fest. I don't see any.

[Big T]

See if Big Cat has Matt Shaw's phone number. We got to get in.

[Arian Foster]

I could probably get his phone number.

[Unknown Female Host]

Vivek, he's there.

[Arian Foster]

We have his contact info.

[Unknown Female Host]

We do have his contact info.

[Big T]

Oh, wow. Yeah. A once supposed guest guest on the show, Jesse Waters.

[Arian Foster]

I used to work out next to him at Equinox. At Equinox in New York.

[Aryan]

I need every bad bitch here. Equinox.

[Arian Foster]

Dr. Ben Carson.

[Aryan]

Freaking not.

[Big T]

Is that the one in Westville?

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, I've interviewed Dr. Ben Carson before regarding Baby Hitler.

[Big T]

Grant Cardone got mad at me a couple years ago. Do you remember that?

[Arian Foster]

For what?

[Big T]

I wrote a blog about how stupid he is and he got mad about it. So then I blogged his video getting mad about it, and then he got mad about that.

[Arian Foster]

You got him 10x walked right into your trap.

[Aryan]

Yeah, Inception.

[Unknown Female Host]

His. He like exploits his kids to a level I've never seen before.

[Big T]

I can't believe it's. Where is this, like the Sun's arena? How is it? Sold out.

[Aryan]

Introduce you to Joe Jackson. Maddie, I don't know who that is.

[Arian Foster]

Who?

[Big T]

What comedian was it that said he's proof you can beat your children to greatness?

[Aryan]

Yeah, I saw that. I don't remember who it was though. Joe Jackson was Michael Jackson's.

[Unknown Female Host]

Oh, father.

[Arian Foster]

Father.

[Aryan]

Yeah. And he was notoriously abusive, but I.

[Unknown Female Host]

Don'T think Cardone's abusive. He just literally makes his kids do dumb.

[Aryan]

Yeah, Joe Jackson was on to some. It worked.

[Unknown Female Host]

It's not even telling me where it is.

[Big T]

I'm looking right now. So Thursday. Oh, wow. Thursday is a banger at Thursday night. Erica Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Russell Brand, Matt Walsh, Tucker Carlson. I mean, that's the lineup you want to be there for. I don't. You don't even need to stay after that.

[Unknown Female Host]

You can stream it as well.

[Big T]

Yeah, but we got to Be there on the ground with the people.

[Arian Foster]

I know What's. What night is J.D. vance?

[Big T]

Friday is. Matt Shaw's on Friday, along with Todd and Savannah. Chrisley Vivek, Rob Schneider, Steve Bannon.

[Aryan]

Oh, that's your boy Vivek, too, ain't it?

[Big T]

He's fallen off.

[Aryan]

Oh, damn.

[Big T]

It looks like JD Vance closes it on Sunday.

[Arian Foster]

I really want to see you guys go to it.

[Big T]

Can we all go?

[Aryan]

Is there ticket? There's no tickets.

[Big T]

Well, we got to find a way in. What if we just go hang out outside?

[Unknown Female Host]

But then you won't be able to see what they're talking about.

[Big T]

We just want to talk to the people, do some man on the street. And then if once we get. If we get there, if we get to Phoenix, we'll find a way in.

[Unknown Female Host]

That's a wild thing to say, scalping tickets to Amethyst.

[Arian Foster]

I feel like they might have enhanced security.

[Big T]

No, I'm just saying somewhat. We'll get a ticket from somebody.

[Arian Foster]

We should be able to.

[Big T]

Somebody will see Big T, and they'll be like you. We got to get Big T in there.

[Arian Foster]

Hopefully there's somebody out there right now that is listening that can help Arian and Big T get in. I would love to go. I can't make it, but I want to see what you guys would do.

[Aryan]

Let's just set it up in the future, because this ain't going to be the first Republican Woodstock.

[Arian Foster]

I don't know if we're going to.

[Big T]

No, but this is the one you got to be at.

[Arian Foster]

I don't know if we're going to get a lineup like this. Yeah, actually, Arian, that's the worst example that you could give. Like, don't.

[Big T]

Something that happened once.

[Arian Foster]

Don't go. No, don't go to Woodstock. There will be a Woodstock 99. I'm sure that'll be fun. Go to that one.

[Aryan]

There was another Woodstock.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. And it sucked. They didn't have one could argue that.

[Aryan]

The first Woodstock sucked as well, but.

[Arian Foster]

I don't know. I think the original Woodstock would have been good to go to.

[Big T]

Also. Nate Smith is performing Thursday night. We gotta be there.

[Unknown Female Host]

Who's that?

[Arian Foster]

Who?

[Big T]

Whiskey on you. Don't worry about it. Great singer.

[Aryan]

Sing the hook. I might notice.

[Big T]

So I ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you how does the rest of it go? Ain't gonna waste one more night Missing wanting you back no, I ain't gonna dry another tear in this glass I didn't waste any time Finding somebody new so I Ain't gonna waste another drop of whiskey on you. No, I.

[Arian Foster]

Follow me. Everything is all right.

[Aryan]

You know what we need to do. No, no, no. Don't steal his thunder. He killed that.

[Arian Foster]

He's obviously way better.

[Aryan]

Yeah, yeah. This is what we need to do, Big T. You need to. Connor Houston. And we need to document the process of us making a country track. I'll make the beat. I'll. I'll produce it. I'll record you. I'll mix it, and we'll send it to the people. Like, I'll write it. We'll write it together, right?

[Big T]

I would do that.

[Aryan]

And we just. We just need to. We just need to. We just need to make a dope little country slap.

[Big T]

I am interested in attending the World Baseball Classic this spring. Which part of it is in Houston?

[Aryan]

Bro, this. This. This is perfect. And you're talking to the writer of Knock Knock. You know what I mean?

[Big T]

That's true.

[Aryan]

The. The Hollywood. I mean, the Halloween banger. You know what I'm saying? That's what I do. Have y' all heard I like unicorns?

[Unknown Female Host]

No.

[Arian Foster]

No.

[Aryan]

Okay. I'm sending I like unicorns to the group chat. Like, this is some of my best work. Like, my little daughter wanted to make a song and I was like, what about. She said, unicorns. I got the.

[Arian Foster]

Of course.

[Aryan]

You want to make anybody unicorns. And so made the beat, wrote it on the spot, and it became a household classic, dog. And it's like, it's not even long here. Y' all can listen to this junk.

[Arian Foster]

Stars, they're in the sky. I like unicorns they are so magic to me they just so happen to be for you and I. Starlight.

[Big T]

Can I ask a question? You wrote this song?

[Aryan]

Yeah.

[Big T]

Can you pause it real quick?

[Arian Foster]

Quick.

[Big T]

Do you now? May I might. Do unicorns fly?

[Aryan]

Yeah. Yeah, dude.

[Arian Foster]

They're magical.

[Big T]

Are we sure about that?

[Arian Foster]

They fly.

[Big T]

I think that's a.

[Arian Foster]

They're magical.

[Big T]

Is that not a pegasus you think about?

[Arian Foster]

That's a winged horse. Unicorns have wings. You think unicorns just walk?

[Big T]

Unicorns do not have wings.

[Arian Foster]

Unicorns can have wings.

[Big T]

I don't believe that to be accurate.

[Arian Foster]

I could be wrong my way off about unicorns.

[Big T]

Maddie McKenzie.

[Arian Foster]

He's fact checking your unicorn song.

[Big T]

Traditionally, unicorns do not fly.

[Unknown Female Host]

Is it a pegasus that has.

[Big T]

They are land based, magical horses with a single horn, while pegasi are the winged horses that fly.

[Arian Foster]

So the unicorn just walks around on the land grazing?

[Big T]

I think so.

[Unknown Female Host]

But I would say since they're magical, they can do anything. Right.

[Arian Foster]

What makes them magic, really?

[Aryan]

We're talking about magical unicorns, though.

[Big T]

No, I understand.

[Arian Foster]

I was just clarifying what makes them magical?

[Unknown Female Host]

They have a horn.

[Arian Foster]

That's it.

[Unknown Female Host]

Magic.

[Arian Foster]

It's just, it's just a horn.

[Big T]

Princess Unicorn. My horn can pierce the sky.

[Aryan]

I mean, I mean, I mean, if you just Google unicorns, like, they're all up in the sky. They're in clouds and that is true.

[Arian Foster]

Maybe they live up there, though, but they don't fly.

[Unknown Female Host]

How are they gonna get up there, though?

[Big T]

That's just where. That's where they spawn.

[Arian Foster]

And then they fall. Fall to earth.

[Big T]

Well, we've never seen them. I think they just kind of exist in a. An ethereal land.

[Arian Foster]

There's a chance that unicorns at one point did exist.

[Unknown Female Host]

They just didn't make it onto Noah's Ark.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Like the Norwall. Like the Norwall of the land. They are the official animal of Scotland.

[Aryan]

Unicorns. Yes. This is true.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah. Fun fact, Arian.

[Big T]

I think though, we, we. We should make a song that's kind of like what Big X the Plug does. Now. It's a country song, but then he comes on for a verse.

[Aryan]

I got bars. All I do is make music. Play golf and be a dad fam. That's all I do.

[Big T]

Yeah, we do a country song, but it's got one rap verse in it.

[Aryan]

Got you. It's easy.

[Big T]

I think we, I think we get to. Let's. We work on that from like the month of January, and then in February, I'll come to Houston.

[Aryan]

We'll do it easy money.

[Big T]

[Arian Foster]

I think this is, this is a great idea. I want to hear it.

[Aryan]

How about, how about, how about you make. You make the guitar for the country song, right? You write the chord structure, right? And I'll build the beat around your guitar.

[Arian Foster]

Okay.

[Aryan]

Yeah, there.

[Arian Foster]

Yeah, we can do something like that. Are you thinking. Just give me the mood.

[Aryan]

It's got to be something like. I'm thinking like a little, A little up tempo, like a hype country song.

[Arian Foster]

Like.

[Big T]

See, I like more.

[Aryan]

I like a little that type.

[Big T]

I. I like a little A little sadder. I like something with some life experience behind it.

[Aryan]

Oh, you wanna. You want some Good, right? You want. You want some?

[Big T]

I, I. Yeah, I like. I like a country song where you can tell somebody's been through some.

[Aryan]

You want depth and the big T. Aryan country song. Okay.

[Arian Foster]

Okay.

[Unknown Female Host]

I mean, if you were to write a country song, it'd probably be 98 Braves by Morgan Wallen.

[Big T]

One of my favorites.

[Arian Foster]

I think I've got it. I think I. I know exactly what to do with this.

[Aryan]

Okay.

[Arian Foster]

I'll come up with the guitar part.

[Aryan]

Play with some chord structures, send it my way so I can start building the beat. This is going to be great.

[Arian Foster]

Do you want. Do you want me to put a bass on there, or you want to do the bass?

[Aryan]

Either one. You can do the bass.

[Arian Foster]

I'll trust you to the base. I can only do, like. I'm not good at writing bass lines.

[Aryan]

The only thing is I. I don't have a bass guitar. I would have to play. It would have to be like a midi guitar. I'm sorry, A midi bass on a keyboard. Okay. I mean, if, you know, maybe I'll.

[Arian Foster]

Put down, like, a scratch bass track and you can, like, try to enhance it or. Or do something else if you don't like it.

[Aryan]

Yeah, we could do, like an overlay. Overlay. Yeah, we'll figure it out.

[Arian Foster]

Okay.

[Aryan]

All right.

[Arian Foster]

This is gonna be good. Gonna be smash hit, Big T. Hope so. I start thinking of lyrics, start thinking of content for it. All right, that does it for nano dosing. We'll see you guys on Thursday.
