Hey, macrodosing listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.
Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon music.
Welcome back to nanodosing.
This is the only podcast that comes out on Thursdays.
That's a shorter version of a podcast here at Barstall Sports that comes out on Tuesdays, officially.
I can say that for the first time this week.
We got the whole squad here, me, Billy, Big T, Avery, Mad Dog, Arian, and Coley.
Everyone's here, so we're going to be answering your voicemails.
Um, continue to his voicemails.
We love them and we'll be answering them on next week's actual episode of macrodosing.
And next Thursday, we're going to switch it up.
Just remind you guys, we're reading the art of war.
I have ordered the art of war for everybody in this room.
Coley, Aryan, you're going to have to order your own copies.
Aaron, you've already got yours.
Coley, you're going to have to order your own.
Uh, and we will be discussing chapter one on Thursday in the art of war.
The art of dosing.
That's maybe what we'll call it.
I don't know.
We can workshop that.
So we do have your voicemails right now
And if you want to leave a voicemail
For next Tuesday's podcast
What's the number they should call?
347-560-0-401
It's also our Twitter header
It's everywhere
So 347-560-0-401
That'd be a fire to put on a shirt too though
The number they can call
I think we should put the thing that Avery made
The billboard of Big T as an injury lawyer
I love the idea of putting just a phone number
on a shirt and seeing what happens.
That's fire.
Yeah, we should make it seem like we're like a like a pizza shop or something like macro
dosing and then like call for delivery or something along those lines with our number.
Yep.
I like that.
I like it.
All right, Matt, Doug.
What do we have?
Okay, we got a couple today.
We got like a different little bit of a variety today.
But I got a couple going.
So we'll get started with the first one.
This first one actually I kind of like it was different.
And I don't know the answer to it.
So we'll see.
Hold on, let me turn that.
Yo, what up?
It's Stefan Wiese calling me from Nampa, Idaho.
My phone's at 1%, so I'm going to keep this quick, and hopefully it doesn't die.
But anyway, I'm just curious about the actual origins of the show.
How did the idea come up?
Did DFT approach Aryan or did Aryan approach BFT?
And then also, how did you guys decide who was going to be on the show and whatnot?
Anyways, that's all I got for you guys.
Thanks for hearing me out.
Big fan of the show.
Big fan of the pod.
Big fan of y'all.
Love you guys.
All right.
Good question.
I'm a little bit sketchy on the details, actually.
It's just something I don't really remember exactly how it happened, but Aryan a couple
years ago came on part of my take, right?
Back when we were at the old office, we met each other that way, kept in touch a little bit
through the DMs, and then we have a mutual friend, Tommy Alter, who does a podcast with
JJ Reddick, that I think he probably suggested to both of us at some point over the years,
and he helps to produce this with his company as well.
So I don't know.
That's kind of how I remember it going down.
We just kind of kept in touch over the years.
Yeah, I think we were fans of each other outside of our respective lanes.
Like, we enjoyed each other's company.
I think we went to dinner one time
because Tommy had a dinner at LA
which I met you and Big Cat there
I think for the first time
after the show
and I think from that
I think it was Tommy's idea actually
like yo it would be dope with you
and POT got together and did something
and then we kind of got on the horn
and started brainstorming about what we wanted to do
and we kind of wanted to do something
like outside of sports
and this is what we kind of came up to
and as far as like picking who was on the show
that was all
PFT because there's no diversity so we you know what
Aaron we got thought diversity on this show there you go
diversity a lot of that these days that's true
so I actually I asked Big T to be on the show because
I thought that what it would lead to would be a lot like what we kind of
experienced on Tuesday which is a
conversation where we don't agree with each other um but you're able to have a conversation big t to his
credit he gets a lot of shit online sometimes when when people gang up on him big t doesn't really back
down he's got he's got his set of beliefs and he'll defend him um we don't always agree on everything
we don't always disagree on everything though it's not like i think we're that different i think
not you and i think agree on a lot more than maybe arian and i do but i think on the whole like
most people on this show have a pretty at least baseline understanding of each other like even
if we don't necessarily agree on everything yeah and then uh i don't think we agree on
really anything but we've come to a few i think we we agree to disagree on the things that we
disagree about love that you own a gun you say what i said i love that you own a firearm
well see and we we disagree there too because i don't like that
I have to have one, but I mean, I have one just in the case.
Like, I actually haven't shot it since I got it.
Like, I went to the range once, and then I was like, I haven't touched this shit for like four years.
But you were, you're correct.
That's, that's more dangerous than-
Try me if you want.
Fuck you mean.
The shot was, the shot is crispy.
Don't get it twisted.
All right.
But, no, I do, I do appreciate the diversity of thought.
For sure, because I, I think, I think discourse and his.
country is at all time.
I don't know all the time.
It's at a place where it's really
toxic. And I think
you need more examples of people who don't
agree at all. But like, you still
keep it, you know, a hundred men with each
other. Not, I don't want to fight you
with nothing like that. There are some conservatives
where I don't think, like, I don't think
you can put Candace Owens on this show, though. Like, I
don't, like, oh, get the fuck on it.
Like, if you cancel Kansas Owens for next week.
Done.
Thanks. Oh, you can get her
wrong. It's not a regular fucking game.
Avery was just, he's just a great producer and he was working on the dozen on the radio.
When we came back from pandemic, he was helping to produce that and he's just,
Avery's awesome.
So that was a no-brainer.
And then Billy, Billy is a funny story because the night before we're going to do the show for the first time,
I was just letting Hank and Big Cat know what my plans were.
We might need the studio occasionally.
Can't really do any interviews on Monday afternoon because that's going to be when this podcast coming out.
And also we're going to get Arian on part of my take.
to help launch macrodosing.
And Billy overheard me talking to them
about what the show was going to be about.
And Billy was just like, oh, my God, can I be your Jamie?
Just like, I don't need to even be on the show.
Just like, ask me to look stuff up and I'll look it up.
I just want to be a part of it.
And I honestly, I'm very, very glad that Billy said something
because Billy fits in really well on the show.
And I love having them around.
And it's perfect.
I just, I appreciate you on the show, Billy.
I want you know that.
Appreciate it.
and all the work that you do on it,
even if you don't always cite your any sources, really.
I like your intellectual curiosity, Billy.
Never lose that.
I want to be honest,
I've been pretty distracted because I'm reading an article.
Turns out during the Russo-Japanese War in 1905,
there was this dude.
Okay, this is going to sound crazy,
but they still did the thing, you know,
in the beginning of Troy,
where they had two warriors fight each other
instead of the whole army's having to go to war.
So it turns out there was a samurai who challenged someone from the Russian Empire to fight them one-on-one before the battle started.
And the Russians hadn't used swords in a long time, but it was like Japanese culture to like send out a champion.
And this random Serbian dude walked out with a sword and beat him.
That had never sword fought before?
Well, he wasn't like they didn't sword fight that much.
That's pretty cool.
Alexander Lexo Sachich.
His response to what you just said could not have been more perfect.
That's why Billy's on the show.
To answer your question, that's it.
That's an example, which is a more powerful thing than just telling you what it is.
But that's insane.
That also sounds like cap, though.
That also sounds like cap.
I will send my sources.
All right.
Is it Wikipedia?
Maybe.
Yeah.
So that's why Billy's on the show.
Coley is just a hilarious guy and I thought that
Coley since he writes a bunch of conspiracy blogs
on the website itself
he would be a natural fit and
Coley has never been one to shy away from a rambling
free form conversation on a podcast
that lasts for three hours. In fact
he invented the medium. I think he invented the genre
on mixtape which he used to do with
Tyler and so
what happened? What happened to that? What happened to that?
Racism.
Tyler couldn't work with an Italian anymore.
He had enough.
Say word?
No, that's not true.
No, well, no, racism is the answer.
Just it wasn't because he realized he hated me.
Oh, y'all don't get alone no more?
No, I was just on his show last week.
Oh.
So what happened?
I can keep saying, like, when everything happened last.
Or should I ask you off air?
No, it's fine.
I mean, it happened. Everything happened last July.
Old videos from this company were put back out there that didn't age well the moment they were filmed, let alone many years later.
And so a lot of people online were pressing Tyler, like, why do you still work there?
And I think he took some stock and like, all right, like, do I need to be at this company right now or ever again?
And he made a really, like, tough and brave decision, middle of a fucking pandemic to opt out of a job and just fly solo.
And he's been crushing it ever since.
Damn.
Well, sorry to barst those races, man.
And then Mad Dog, she actually approached us.
That was a nice segue, wasn't it?
And, uh, mad dog approached us.
she was just like I think she heard us what you came in for your first day was in July June
1st June 1st and on June 3rd gas emailed all the interns asking who wants to be the macrodosing intern
yeah that's right and so Mad Dogg literally sprinted across the main floor of her office
yeah and came up and it was like hey I really want to do it I listen to the show and you're like
who are you yeah I had no idea who she was but she was out of breath because she literally ran over to my
desk. And then I was like, I like that she's excited about the possibility of working with
us. That's definitely better than somebody that wouldn't care. And then she was just, you guys heard
everybody interview on the show. She was the best fit. So that's how Mad Dog's here. Here we go.
Okay. Are we ready for the next one? Good, good question, though. Also, also hilarious, though,
because he was like, I only have one percent left and he like dragged out all his words. Yeah,
it was like a really long voice mail. Yeah, he's like, so, uh, anyway, uh, like,
We've got 1%.
You've stolen.
Okay.
Here's the next one.
Hey guys.
This is Caroline from Austin.
I just wanted to say, y'all are so handsome and mad dog.
You're so beautiful.
My question is if you all could bring back anyone from the dead and ask them one question,
who would it be and what would you ask?
Thanks, y'all.
I love the show so much.
Good question, Caroline.
That is a good question.
I think that's our first female voicemail that I've posted.
it on the show. I'm going to start with Billy on this one.
I'm going to start with Arian on this one.
I'm going to start with Coley on this. Coley, why don't you go ahead?
Honestly, my gut, my gut was JFK. Okay. But then I thought there might be I've got one if
y'all don't want to go first. Yeah, go ahead. So mine is predicated upon like if we bring this
person back, they have an understanding of what's going on today. Like they're abreast of, you
know, the current state of things.
I would love to have a conversation with George Washington,
and I would like to ask him what his thoughts are on the current state of politics in America.
Okay.
Because he explicitly warned against many things that are happening right now 200 years ago,
and I would like to get his thoughts on the way things are now.
You know what would suck about that, though?
He'd, like, have some good points.
But then his other points would negate all the good ones.
And then everyone would just hate him.
I already hate him.
Exactly.
I didn't care less what George Washington thinks about 2021.
Couldn't care less.
Well, you can answer yours.
You're right.
You're right.
When we look at the, yeah, don't yuck his yum, Aaron.
I didn't.
I don't yuck his yum.
I like that.
Yeah, because people look at the founding fathers and they're like,
go these guys were gods
like they were infallible and they're no they were
fucking morons just like
all of us right now sure they put
some good stuff down on paper and started a good government
to a certain extent like
good things were done that hadn't been done
in the history of the world but they were
they had major flaws just like
everybody you know how ridiculously horny
Ben Franklin was
yeah ridiculously horny yeah
he fucked man breaking
tell us Billy how how horny
was he the man had a problem
him. And I'm not going to speak
ill of the dead. He loved
whores.
Hors.
Hors.
He would have really loved
some two chain songs, I think.
Yeah. All right. Who wants to go next?
I'll go next.
How you go next? Okay. It would be Helen of Troy.
My question would just be so.
Yeah. That's it.
A face that could launch
a thousand ships. Is that like people
thousands of people fought wars because she was so hot
just like people died because she was gorgeous
maybe Cleopatra then actually because
Cleopatra's that was a bad bitch man
I
but like imagine if you just brought them to modern day
and they're just
yeah definitions of beauty changed over the years
yeah yeah what if she was gross
she probably smelled like shit
you took mine I was going to say Maryland Monroe
and also sup
also sup
I'm on her.
Okay.
Mad dog.
I think,
oh,
wait,
no,
Aaron,
you go,
I don't have one yet.
I don't think I would ask a question
because there's not much,
like in history that they could tell us that we probably can't figure out today.
Like,
there's not much,
right?
That I would be interesting.
Go ahead,
Billy.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Actually,
the librarian at the Alexandrian library.
That would be interesting.
Yeah.
He would be foot to have of the show.
That would be, that would be interesting, actually.
Yeah.
But that's not, that's not the nigga I dig up.
Yeah.
I would do, I would do Einstein.
And I don't think I'm out of ask him anything because, like, scientifically speaking, we
know a lot more about his, I'm not saying me.
I'm talking about, like, scientists.
Like, they know a lot more about his equations than he did, you know, because he, they were
so accurate that we figured out shit about it that he probably didn't even know.
like like when I hit oh let's I'm going to get to the detail but I would probably just ask or tell him like that the one of the things that he was like adamant about that it got proved to be wrong and it was it was the um leil's bore and how quantum entanglement how two particles can be entangled without anything in between them no matter how far apart they are he was he was wrong about that I would like I would like I
I would like to tell him that he was wrong about that just for the fact that
he's one of the most brilliant minds that this earth has ever seen.
Just so he could like,
it's fucked up.
You're going to say dumb dumb.
You got this one wrong?
Because because he wants spent years upon years in his relativity, especially,
no, his general relativity equations, working on something that was
wrong because he he messed up on one of the equations right so he had to he had to undo a lot of
that work so a lot of that he spent years arguing nils bore about this and i would just like to tell
him that he was wrong about it so that he can put his energy into something else because he's
so brilliant i want to see what else he can come up with because that motherfucker was brilliant okay all right
so is the question like bring back one person from the dead or was the question go back in time
and see some person because it was under the end like i thought they were coming back you get the
one question and then they go right back it'd be really fucked up if you were
like hey hey Einstein you wasted years of your life and you were wrong peace yeah well we use
your name now it's only to call someone a fucking idiot very sarcastically you're right that's a dick
move i apologize that's a big move enjoy your eternal map fuck it fuck it let's do let's do the let's do the
nigger with the library billy let's do that i do that one question one question it's a really
good answer by billy actually bring them bring him it really was if it was one question i'd be like
JFK, why did they do it?
Do you think he knows?
That's a horrible question.
Does anybody else know?
He's probably the least likely person to know.
He got snipe from hundreds of yards away.
He's going to be like, I don't know.
Like, fuck, I wasted my question.
Like, didn't what?
The last thing I remember, we were just bruising.
Billy's like, so you know, and this is a pruder film, when you go back into the left?
He's like, no, I haven't seen the fucking thing.
There was a bullet in my head.
They don't follow Ravel?
I mean, they had to know something.
But, no, the Library of Alexandria one.
I'm saying this person probably might have not exist,
but someone who, like, knew.
I mean, I guess no one knows all the knowledge
of the Library of Alexandria who worked there or something.
But just like...
Or like, what's the most important thing that got lost in that fire?
Yeah.
There's a lot of questions.
Truths I seek.
Yeah.
But...
like there was so much stuff lost that I buy it I need that I need that I need that clip A set dog oh my god
Billy is a secret of truth that's what he is like that's the internet anthropologist
but not to get confused with the truth seekers who there's some coded language okay
never mind QN on QN on calls themselves truth seekers
Just want to clear that up
So no one thinks I'm dog whistling
Well, as we discovered a week or two ago
You have a few similarities with them as it is
Who?
You.
What do you mean?
QAnon.
You come saying QAnon thinks this
And then you're like, well
Okay, I'm an internet anthropologist
Just because I know about everyone's beliefs
Doesn't mean I believe them.
It's just in the job description.
It's just me just lurking on the internet
Trying to see what everyone's about.
Yeah, I respect you, Billy.
Scared of incels.
What about you, Colie?
I've been thinking about it.
My first thought was William Randolph first,
just like punch him in the fucking face.
But I kind of want to bring,
there's a tweet that I think of constantly
that just makes me laugh every single time.
But like I would love to bring back
just like a random person from the 1400s
and give them exactly one flavor blasted Dorito
and just see what it does to that.
their fucking their mind.
Like how do they, it's so much flavor
that they just have to want to exist.
I don't think they'd be able to handle that.
Yeah. What was it, what was a treat for them?
Like, even an apple was too much
flavor for some people back then
that subsisted on just like,
sort of gruel, gruel and water.
They literally, like,
you remember Willie Wonka?
Like, Willie Walker, the first one,
not the second one. But like, Charlie comes home
with a loaf of bread and he's like, have a feast.
Like, it was some shit like that. Like,
They feasted on, like, bread and cabbage water and shit like that.
Yep.
All right.
Anybody else?
I would, John Bonae Ramsey, and I would ask if it was her brother that did it.
Okay.
Just because I think it is.
All right.
But I don't know.
What would you do with that information?
Who's John Bonae Ramsey?
Kevin Perry.
No.
Good answer.
She was a child beauty pageant winner.
Oh, is that?
Anna Nicole Smith's daughter?
No.
Oh, fuck them.
All right, we got one last question?
Yep. Okay.
Hey, what's going on, guys?
Jonathan Martin from Pennsylvania Colvin, Florida, a huge fan of the show.
So I was wondering, if you got cancer, if any of y'all got cancer,
if the only way to get rid of the cancer was to give it to somebody else,
would you do it and who would it be?
Big fan of the show, love you guys.
Take care.
Okay.
Did you guys hear that?
It's easy.
It's an easy answer.
Yes.
What was your answer?
Yeah.
So the question was if we got cancer and the only way to get rid of it was to give it to somebody else?
Who would you give it to and would you do it?
Yeah, absolutely.
I would give it to somebody who's like about to die.
Like two seconds from dying.
That's smart.
Yeah, run to the hospice care.
Now we're getting into ethics conversationary.
Now we're getting back into the like medically assisted suicide talk.
You know what I would do.
Wouldn't care.
They didn't say how we could do it.
They didn't say how we could do it, right?
So it's like, yo, I would just go to a doctor and be like who's about to die.
Like who's like about to go and there's nothing that can't save him.
He's probably going to die in the next day or so.
Just kind of, you know, just blow it, blow it into him.
Sprinkle just like a dusting of cancer.
I was more like like a magical like pixie dust.
That's what I was like.
like salt bay yeah so open sprinkle a little cancer on them and then that's it i would uh no harm
no fat i would give it to one of you guys in this room because i know that you have the same deal
and you could just pass it around you could get rid of yours by giving it to somebody else it's like
cancer hot potato and then it ends on one person let's just hypothetically big tea and so you haven't
used your your cancer giving yet so it's on you and then you have to make the decision
on who you have to give it to.
Okay, I'm glad that landed with me.
I just, I would bear, I would bear everyone's cancer.
I would die for the good of everyone else.
You would just die?
You would murder yourself?
No, Big Tee.
Very Christ like Big T. I like it.
You can give it to somebody else.
Yeah, I choose not to.
You choose not.
So he's saying he wouldn't.
What about a serial killer?
We don't know that they did it.
What if they, what if they did it?
Actually, no, no, I take it back.
I take it back.
The homeless man that pushed me trying to get a lighter.
would give it to that. In February 1st, 2020. I remember the date. That's how mad I was. Yeah,
that's who I would give it to. I take it back. I take back what I said. Wait, wait. Would you give
it? Okay. Here's the choice. I'm either, I have the power to either give you cancer or give
it to Scott Peterson. I mean, yeah, give it to Scott Peterson. I'm not like, I'm not. Are you a
murder? Just because I think there wasn't evidence to convict the guy. See, this has spun out of
control to where it went from me saying there wasn't enough evidence to convict him of capital murder
to like oh big t loves scott peterson no you just said you kill him does that make you any better
what if if this is like if we're assuming this is a stage for cancer because obviously the the premises
that you die what if we you give like a stage to each person like you give four people one stage of
cancer you're spreading it out you're making more people suffer none of them really it's not like
that big of a deal i don't think you know how cancer works big t i think the stage three correct
It's still fucked.
Yeah, stage two pretty bad.
No, no, no, no, no.
You are giving four people each stage one cancer.
Early detectable cancer.
What if it's like?
I feel like that's perfectly fair.
But my preference is to give all four stages to that homeless man because I hate him.
Yeah, if you spread out the stages, you've just, congrats, you've killed four people now.
You don't die from stage one cancer.
Sometimes.
I have a semantic question about this, right?
So does it always reset or does the cancer at the same spot it was as the person when it left?
We can say that it's the same spot.
So if like PFT had lung cancer and he's giving it to Big T, Big T would have lung cancer.
I'd like to give mine.
I'd like to change my answer and give it to baby Hitler.
Baby Hitler.
Yeah.
That way I like it.
Just stop it before it starts.
Like cancer is a real, a real motherfucker.
So is it going to kill baby Hitler or just Hitler 35 years later?
well that's a good question would you want so the old question would you go back in time and kill baby
Hitler would you want baby Hitler to suffer for the first like 10 years of his life before he died
and he's like yes he has no idea that he's going to be Hitler it's just a kid would that make him
worse okay would that make him like he went through all that suffering in his young life and
maybe you like taking it up he would teach him empathy oh I thought it would give him like resentment
towards the world and then want to kill more Jewish people I mean if if time travel
is real, and there have been
stand-up comedians who have rift on this, so it's not
the most original idea. If time travel
is real, we just haven't, we haven't
experienced our linear
conception of time to what we have
gotten to that point. But if it is real in the future,
there is a fair case
to be made that Hitler is this way
because people keep coming through portals
in the universe trying to kill him.
He's looking over
his shoulder all the time.
Constantly, he's like, why do all these one specific
group of people keep trying to kill me.
What do these portals keep opening me?
What the fuck are they talking about, man?
Is this going to happen to me?
Norm MacDonald, RIP, he had something to say about this.
He said that people are so fucking arrogant to think that they could go back in time.
And like, some people would try to reason or try to kill Hitler.
And Hitler is maybe, you could make an argument that he is one of the most persuasive people of all time
to come around to whatever is that he wants groups of people.
people to do if you went back in time trying to kill hitler you'd end up sucking hitler's dick
he would just convince you to just give him head like you think that you could win an argument
against that guy who knows i do i do i do i do think i can win an argument against hill yeah he's
not very reasonable man i think one-on-one it'd actually be easier definitely not sucking his dick
once once crowds once crowds start to get involved then like he had control over his crowd for sure
I doubt I could ever get a one-on-one with him anyway
but I think I just got to operate in the shadows
I'm cool we're going back and killing Hitler like philosophically
I'm okay with that me too what about what about if you just went back
and you became a student in one of the eye classes he took
and you were just like really complimentary of the dog shit paintings
he was just send him on a different career path altogether
I thought he didn't get in that was the whole thing I didn't get in
I can admit him if you were the
The dean of the arts.
