Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Big T, do you see yourself as more of a tangerine lime or a pineapple lemonade kind of guy? Lemonade always. Well, pineapple lemonade is not a thing. It's pink lemonade. Tangerine lime sounds pretty good, but you heard it from the horse's mouth.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Pink lemonade is Big T's favorite three-chi product. Three-chi is the industry leader in Delta. to 8 and other THC products such as vapes, edibles, gummies, and more. Visit 3chee.com. That's the number 3CHA.com. Use promo code macro dosing to take 5% off your purchase. 3Chi is far and away the product Barstle sports endorses
Starting point is 00:00:49 that is used most often by people in the office. I think you can agree to that big tea. Yeah, that's accurate. All of your co-workers are constantly imbibing and Three Cheese's delightful products. Which one do you think you see the most around the office? I don't know all the technical terms. I just know I see the name Three Chi everywhere around this place.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Which would you be most inclined to try? The root beer barrels? You seem like a big root beer barrel guy. Elaborate on that for me. That does sound. It's like the candy root beer barrels, which I assume you've had. I don't believe so, no.
Starting point is 00:01:30 In your entire life, you've never had a root beer barrel? I don't think so. That's insane. I mean, it's certainly an old-timey candy, but I figured them myself, they would be more prevalent. That sounds like something you'd get at Cracker Barrel. Yeah, I could see that at Cracker Barrel. Like, I picture it very much in, like, your grandma's, like, a candy dish. I assume all grandmots have a candy dish like mine did.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Yeah, are these good? Delightful. Yeah, if you like root beer, you'll like a root beer bowel. I'm going to order some. And if, and if you like a root beer barrel, you'll love Three Cheese root beer barrel. Three Chee now has Delta 8 THC drink mixes. Try their flavorless Delta 8 drink additive for drinks like coffee, tea, or juices. Or try a flavored Delta 8 drink enhancer mixed with water available in tangerine lime or pink lemonade flavors.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Three Chi does not, does not recommend using Delta A drink enhancers with. alcoholic beverages. That's just smart. Just pick one and have that kind of a night. I would recommend 3G. That's 3G.com. Use promo code macrodose. I'm going to take 5% off your purchase.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Must be 21 to purchase, use responsibly. I'll tell you what. Every single person who's mad at me about Chick-fil-A is, is whiter than you, Big T. Like, it's no one darker than Steph Curry is upset about this day. I don't think that's necessarily true, but. That's just what my, you're right.
Starting point is 00:03:04 That's reflecting itself in your mentions and you're extrapolating that out as a worldview, which is part of the, the grand problem in our society these days. That's not true. I, listen, I spoke only about the people who have spoken. I didn't say that's fair. That's all I said. I said, the people who have come to react. The only person who told, who was on your side was the one who told me to try the fucking
Starting point is 00:03:26 suit. No, you've got one chicken noodle soup person. You're like, everybody says get soup. No, that was bad take for her to say. Horrible take. She was like, you said all the Chick-fil-A defenders are like, get the soup. Well, when I was- Good actually.
Starting point is 00:03:38 I have had multiple people tell me to get the soup and the soup and the cop salad, which the cop salad is your best. It's not, though, you know that. The soup is actually like an above average suit. Do we know that, though, Big T? That's the question. Yeah, I don't think I know that. When I asked you, when I asked you today, you just made a claim of,
Starting point is 00:03:56 about the service at Chick-Fleay, which nobody said wasn't better than Popeyes. Well, no, I was just mentioning because I went to Popeyes today and they were out of eight sauces and nine of their 10 drinks. Did you go to the one right here? And I was like, that would, yeah. It's so bad.
Starting point is 00:04:08 But all the Popeyes are, all we're talking about is calm down. If that, that would never happen to Chick-fil-A, but if they were out of a sauce, they'd be like, I will personally walk to the end of the earth to find you that sauce. I will make you the song.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Do not leave where you're at right now. I'll be back in five minutes. Did you say Chick-filet, will never be out of sauce? Yeah. There was like a whole sauce shortage. Yeah. Well, no.
Starting point is 00:04:31 They never ran out. They never ran out. That's a bad take. They said you can't get more than like a couple, but they never ran out. No, there was a, there was a short. No, there's a chiplayer. Yes, there was a supply chain issue.
Starting point is 00:04:44 I go to Chipotle four times a week area. And what it means is Popeye sauce is more cracking, so more people ordering it. No. Simple economics, family. No, it's not. Yeah. What I will say is what I love.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Yeah, oh, yeah, we're starting. Absolutely. When I launched this take out into the universe, and I'm glad I read my mentions. I wish that's what I had said on the show in the first place, because how I represented it on Monday's show was wrong. My take, which I still love, Chick-fil-A doesn't have a single thing on the menu
Starting point is 00:05:14 that can touch the McNugget. That's just, and Twitter, to its credit, very supportive of this take. And the biggest thing I've seen on behalf of the Chick-fil-A stands like you, Big Tea, everyone immediately sprints to talk about the sauce, which you just did, which is an inherent. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Yes, they are. That's not what I was saying. Very supportive. Have you read your mentions? Oh, yeah, I've been inundated with people. There are people who are very angry. But even the angry people, they're like, well, what about the sauce? You're just admitting that your chicken is flavorless and you need the sauce.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Chick-fil-A nuggets 40 times better than the McNugget, my guy. absolutely erroneous take egregious superfluous doesn't belong there but that I didn't write that tweet it doesn't uh CFA is slightly overrated but that's madness while Coley is wrong Popeyes is better than Chick-fil-A that just interjected a whole new thing into the argument trash take of the year congrats Coley this is a bad take this is why you shouldn't listen when people from the Northeast give food opinions
Starting point is 00:06:16 one guy thank you Coley for standing up for what is right uh yeah I mean it just it goes on and on this isn't I'd say you're reading the quote tweets You're reading the quote tweets Okay you want to read the quote tweets The quote tweets are built specifically for disagreement No one quote tweets things to be like yes I agree Turn the animal down
Starting point is 00:06:36 Yeah that's my that's my pit bull She's not gonna come down So I don't fuck with those Yeah You'd like her hair I wouldn't I promise you I wouldn't She's a good dog No she's not
Starting point is 00:06:50 he called you said rosy she didn't listen not a good dog she's not protecting the homestead man what's what I miss ma'am my pot is I try to get on the time of what not much we were just talking about chick we were just pretty much continuing group chat discussion and I said reflective of my mentions not for the entire race of anyone but I said said, uh, no one darker than Steph Curry was disagreeing with me. It's fax. Wait, hold on.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Are you talking about the Chick-fil-A and McNuggets take? It turned into most people just shitting on Chick-fil-A. I would take the McNugget over anything on Chick-fil-A's menu. Chick-fil-A's like the, it's like the, it's like the standard, right? It's just, I'm not the standard. It's like the, um, the median. It's like, it's where the bar's set, right? But there's so many, I got to, I'm not, you know, it's not bad.
Starting point is 00:07:49 I like Chick-fil-A. But it's like not, you're talking about the best fast food chickens? That's just not even. This is middle of the pack. Do you think the McNugget is better than a Chick-Falais sandwich or a Chick-fil-A nugget for that matter? No, I'm going to keep it a buck.
Starting point is 00:08:02 I think chicken, the chicken at Chick-fil-A is, it's way better than McDonald's chicken. Okay, thank you. McDonald's chicken. Are you sure? I'm skeptical that McDonald's chicken is chicken. I'm going to keep it a buck. I think they're both from Purdue, to be quite honest.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Even if I think if you, if you trace. fact the supply changes. I think it's coming from the same people. But they don't taste remotely similar. But even if it wasn't chicken, it's still good. No, yeah. I'm not. Listen, I'll I'll fuck up some McNuggets, but like they're not. I don't know. Man, it's just be dry. And I don't ever order them as my kids, right? My kids are now and I order them. And I'll just, you know, you, you finish your meal and you dip it. You know what I'm saying. And this just be dry, dog. I don't. So that's what Coley was saying. He was saying everybody's
Starting point is 00:08:46 talking about Chick-fil-A sauce. And then he's like, which means that the chicken isn't as good. you eating a McNugget with no sauce recently? I'm not. My point isn't that I would eat a McNugget without sauce. But if your argument is, if your counter argument to why it's better is to bring up the sauce, that's a bad argument. That's my point.
Starting point is 00:09:04 If you can't say the chicken unto itself, I didn't say it was, but these were what people were saying to me. Everyone was just like the sauce is better, which also isn't true. Chick-fil-A sauce, if we really want to get into it, they don't have a single sauce better
Starting point is 00:09:17 than McDonald's sweet and sour sauce. No one on the planet Has matched McDonald's sweet and sour Like other places have Sweet and I'm on Poli Grined I'm horrible I gotta I gotta disagree there dog The Chick-fil-A sauce is
Starting point is 00:09:31 It's fire But that's not sweet and sour It's better than sweet and sour Yeah it's fire I got a whole bottle I got a whole bottle That's shit I put it on up a shit Like this shit's good There's no sweet and sour sauce
Starting point is 00:09:42 For sure you put it on good food Yeah there's no sweet and sour sauce That compares to McDonald's sweet and sour sauce That's not what we're talking about that. We're talking about it's balls. I'm talking about both. I still think it's number one. The best sauce.
Starting point is 00:09:55 The best sauce. The best sauce. And my opinion, no, see, and that's the fake one, right? Zaxby's. Zach's best. Okay, okay. Okay. To me, Raising Keynes is the knock off Zaxby.
Starting point is 00:10:06 That's just my experience. I think that's fair. And Zach's, and Zaxby's chicken is the best chicken of any food chain. Like, it's just so, it's so consistent. Raising Keynes, people are going to get real pissed at you for that. Yeah. I mean, I'm in Texas. They're everywhere.
Starting point is 00:10:19 I'm in Texas there everywhere. Yeah, I hear you. My roommate, my freshman year of college, I also went to high school with him. His dad works in like catering, and he loves Zach sauce so much that for Christmas when we were in college, his dad got him a like palette of Zach sauce. Like there were probably, I don't know, a thousand of them in there, a thousand of the little containers. I bet he still got it.
Starting point is 00:10:44 That's a lot. That's a lot. I'm getting I'm getting I'm getting a little chubby too man I got too I got too many I got too fast food takes you know what I need I need to curve this shit this shit is getting where at where do we stand on Bojangles and all of this because that's another place that would take over Chick-fil-A that's a southern thing and so I can't really speak on Bojangles because all my experiences in the South Bojangles is always out of the way I've always heard of it you know what I'm not from the South but like so I've always heard of this shit but I never
Starting point is 00:11:14 really went. Yeah. Have y'all had, have you have Frenches? No. So Frenches, I didn't hear about it
Starting point is 00:11:21 until I came to Houston. Frenchies probably has the best fried chicken I've had. Like, yeah, yeah, I would say pretty,
Starting point is 00:11:28 not even really close. It's a chain. Interesting. No, I don't know if they have, I don't think they have a sandwich. It's a chain, but I've only heard of it in Houston.
Starting point is 00:11:35 They could be other places, but their chicken is like, I'm talking about my rookie year. They used to make, and we continue to tradition. I don't know if they still do it, but they used to make the rookies before we got on plane rides, go to Frenchies before the plane left, and you had to do it before the plane left, and you had to go get like this whole bunch of chicken for all the older heads. And so we used to make
Starting point is 00:11:57 the youngest do that when it was our turn. But it's that good, though. It was really bomb. We used the show a lot to talk about like the misses that we've missed on Tuesday. One that I read that I would definitely was disappointed. I didn't even mention checkers has great fries. Great fries. I don't know if I Every time I see Checkers, I think of a race car track, I just never pull up there. I don't, I checkers is completely mediocre. It's like an establishment. Them and Arby's have good fries.
Starting point is 00:12:24 But yeah, Coli, you're not a fry guy, though. Arbys, so Arbys, I'm glad you brought that up because I wanted to talk about Arbys. I think Arbys has the number two fry, right behind McDonald's. I think Arby's is number two. Curly fries are great. I don't know when the Arby slander started. It's unacceptable. Man, Arby's is top tier.
Starting point is 00:12:44 like fast food shit like they have the meats no one else has the meats except for arby's i don't know why but they sandwich is good man they got a nice little sauce too i'm that arby's underrated for whatever reason they got hell of slander they got the horse rat is yeah arby's and horsies is delightful you know what you missed on your woe this shit big t what's up long john silvers shut up i love long john silvers yeah i think it's mattie mattie you might be be the only human being I've known in the last 10 years that have claimed to take this. I think it's a money laundering front. I don't care. I look, I'm right. I'm telling you, Maddie, you are the only person. I know. I haven't seen anybody in that motherfucker. Are you still open? Yes. So my, I grew up
Starting point is 00:13:32 going there. They're washing money. I'm with you to Ohio long John Silverers. I grew up going to Long John Silverers every week. And and. Why? My grandma really liked it there. and so we'd go all the time. But they have their hush puppies are so good. They have corn on the cob, which you can't find corn on the cob. They have corn on the cob. You get hush puppies.
Starting point is 00:13:57 You get like pretty decent fries. Then you would get their chicken. They have like chicken. It's not like chicken tender. It's like chicken fillets. It's like you're negotiating with yourself. Pretty decent fries. Like, no, nobody's making you go there.
Starting point is 00:14:12 No. It's definitely not. like they were it's tough yeah i was i mean i was seven but like the hush puppies are top tier and then you get like the chicken fillets are really good and then they also have like white fish fillets which i'm not saying anyone should get but i've eaten it and i'm still here to tell the tale i didn't die that's i will stand by i will stand by long john silvers i i might be the only fan of long john silvers in america but i will stand by them until the day i die i just went on twitter and search long john silvers just to see what the people are saying
Starting point is 00:14:44 Not great. Long John Silver's is just the live-action version of the chum bucket. There is a secret society living amongst us that's keeping Long John Silver's open. We might need to look into that. People believe NFTs are used to launder money but say nothing about Long John Silver's. It was in a really bad part of town. It was in a really bad part of town. So we would drive a really Like, we would, I, I would say it was an hour round trip to go get Long John Silveris.
Starting point is 00:15:18 It wasn't a single fast, like fish establishment in between here and there. No, I would, we would choose to go to Long, it's not like it was like, it just happens. We would go out of our way to go to, it was a treat. It was like, I would grow up thinking Launch on Silvers was like a delicacy. Y'all should have just went to the rest stops in Ohio. You've had a better meal, though. We should be jerky and some Gatorade. You know what's in a toilet.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Yeah, no, I am an advocate for Long John Silvers. If anything, get their hush puppies. They're so good. Literally every single tweet on Twitter is just who is keeping Long John Silver's in. Oh, my dead grandma. They wash them money, man. It's like rug, rug shops. And for the most part, light, light shops, like LED light stores.
Starting point is 00:16:08 I'm telling you, man, just laundering, laundering. Nobody's ever in there. Who's the last person you know to purchase a rug? I just got a rug last week from Amazon. Well, you also eat at Long John Silver's. She's just visiting all the places that nobody else knows. They're like, what, Maddie, what did you do this weekend? Well, I ate at Long John Silver's.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Then I went to a rest of. Went to Mattis going to go to the Rohingy and Grove. You go to Bohemian Grove and cater it with Long John Silvers. and that's horrible worship a golden calf on a rug absolutely horrifying we should definitely talk we should definitely talk about cookout too I know it's one of the places that a lot of people live by a lot of people talk about it as it's like king I remember I went I went in Tennessee with chef Donnie when we were there for the pro football show and I thought it was pretty good but I didn't think it was like what a lot
Starting point is 00:17:05 of people of the South make it out to be it's really good. Did you get a shake? Yeah the shake The shake was really good. What shake did you get? I think it was like cookies and cream or whatever. That's a good one. It's no cream sickle, but it'll do. Okay. And then the BLT wraps are really good.
Starting point is 00:17:20 It's cheap. It's definitely affordable if you want a really big meal. Yes, here's the thing about cookout. It is not, it's not the best food you're going to have, but it's open at 2.30 in the morning. It's $4 for six cassidias, four chicken strips, an order of fries, a Coke, and a milkshake. And it's, it's fun. Hey, bro, say Casidia again. Casidia?
Starting point is 00:17:42 I like that whole sentence, everything he said. Like, I, Big T's like a young major league umpire. Like, I view him like a young, like a young Joe West. Like the way he's just got like the Southern drawl, the way he said that whole sentence. If you look at his fit, that's what I mean. He's low-key look like an umpire right now. I don't not look like an umpire right now. You're correct.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Right. That's what I don't even mean he's a negative. Got a polo on under the. He's just got a striped shirt. I got a fleece on top of a polo That's funny though What kind of shoes do you got? Are sparries?
Starting point is 00:18:16 You don't like the way this looks You can wear a quarter zip in a polo No, I'm with you I do your thing It's you got like seven colors on right now That was like you look like the seventh assistant coach He's the one that carried clipboard No, I'm wearing shitty shoes right now
Starting point is 00:18:32 Because there's still gross ass snow outside And I don't want to get my new shoes Yeah, that's fair You didn't want to crease the Js Yeah That was like when I went to Waffle House and Big T looks at me and just goes, get the All-Star special, scattered, smothered, and covered. We were in. Don't say anything else.
Starting point is 00:18:47 You texted the macrodose and group chat. And Avery was at Waffle House for the first time. And I was like, you've never been. I was like, listen, just read this text to them. I promise you will be taken care of. She looked at me like I was a war veteran. She was like, you know about this? That's how I feel when, have you ever took somebody else?
Starting point is 00:19:04 Because I don't drink at Starbucks ever. Like, I never, it's not. I don't like coffee. I don't like caffeine. It's not my thing. But like I'll go get some for my girl, my mom, or my sister, something like that. And like they have to read it to me.
Starting point is 00:19:16 And I'm reading it off. Like they're got three pumps. Like they, this specific. And they're like, yeah, it's like three double pump, caffeine, Mokalata,
Starting point is 00:19:25 chada, all this other shit. And they're like, okay, anything else? I'm like, you got that? I don't have to repeat it.
Starting point is 00:19:29 It's really weird. Like, hell is specific. Hell of specific. Yeah, Starbucks, I don't understand that world at all, at all. but cookout cookouts they say it is it is similar i agree to waffle house uh very similar
Starting point is 00:19:45 logic behind what they got going on cookouts i like cookout i've only had it twice i think but it's it eliminates fries from the equation entirely because you can get a burger and instead of fries get a cassidia or chicken nuggets or like literally any another burger like it they removes it just makes sides better the burger was very very good. I did like the burger. Is this the other thing? Yeah. Yeah. They've got them in Texas for sure. I never even, I don't think I've ever seen one. Let me, let me go with this real quick. Cookout. I feel like they don't have the best signage. I could be mistaken, but I feel like
Starting point is 00:20:23 they have a very inconspicuous sign. That's where checkers loses me, right? Correct. Yeah, checkers. The only reason I've ever had checkers was because when I was in Flatbush, I lived across a street from one. And it never felt good. Yeah, I'd never go out of my weight. to go to Checkers, but I definitely, if it's around and it's the only thing to have, I'll eat it. Yeah, it's tough. Raleigh's Checkers, the tough scene. Oh, man, they need to hire somebody to brand for them. This might be the worst logo I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:20:52 That's what I mean. They don't want you to know about it. Bro, they just have like standard font in white. That shit is the worst. By the way, I was wrong. They don't have them in Texas. Interesting. Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Maryland, Mississippi, Carolina's, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia. They got them in Knoxville? I've never seen it. Yeah, I don't know how long it's been there. It's on the strip. It's like... Oh, that's new then. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:20 It wasn't on the strip when I was there. Yeah, it's the end of the strip. Yeah, you definitely would have had it. Like, furthest from, like, campus. Like, the end closer to going on Kingston. Nah, no, no. But yeah, they'll put a whole pie in a shake for you. They're good by me.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Oh, yeah. It's fantastic. It's a spatula with fire emoji. Yeah, this is shit. Yeah, it's bad. They don't need to sell you with the razzle-dazzle. They got a product. No, they got to see.
Starting point is 00:21:52 When it comes to fast full, you judge a book by its cover. You have to. Like, you got to care about your branding if you're selling me nutrition. Oh, black hair off. They are not. They are not. I don't know, man. I feel like you take a little pride in your logo.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Like, it's the reason why McDonald's... I think the logo is the reason why McDonald's keeps prospering. It's just a beautiful logo. And they branded the golden arches. You know, they're yellow. You know what I'm saying? They brand them golden arches. It just sounds better.
Starting point is 00:22:23 You know what I mean? You see those things, especially on the highway. Like, it's the heavens calling you, those golden arches. Like, they'll build it as high as they need to to get that maximum visibility. they of course know what they're doing that's just crazy to me about uh marketing it's like we all know it works like it works and we just continue to be like sucking into it it's really wild like i remember specifically being high one time and seeing a pizza hut commercial and ordering pizza hut like it works like that shit worked oh yeah it's crazy how much
Starting point is 00:22:59 advertising works what's has do can you recall any time you've seen an mad so many times it finally just broke you down like not like an instant one like that pizza hut like the chakaroni commercial huh the chakaroni i saw the chakaroni every between every drive of every college football game from september to november and i was finally like you know what i'm going home tonight i'm ordering the chakaroney and it was horrific i don't know if one's beat me down and i was like fuck it i got to get it but one has definitely like look into it. It's this, it's the commercial about mesothelioma. Have you ever seen that shit? If you were a loved one? If you were a loved one has been, you know, I've definitely looked
Starting point is 00:23:48 into that. I don't have it. Um, but, uh, it's definitely, it's definitely interesting. You are not entitled to compensation. Is that what you're saying? Unfortunately, but, or those are those, those local car dealerships. Okay. Like, them shit's worked too. Oh, of course. insurance. Insurance. Insurance works as well, though. Oh, definitely. Yeah. Or those cheap, um, those cheap car ads, um, um, like, if you've been in a wreck that's like, they have a sledgehammer. It's like, I'm busting down truckers that don't take driving seriously or whatever the fuck they say. Them shit's work. Because like, if you ever get in a wreck, you like, because you don't have access. Oh, yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:24:32 Who's, uh, Aver. Is it Salino and Barnes? Is that the whole? old New York. What was their phone number? It was just eights. Salino and Barnes injury attorney 800, 8888, 888. Yeah. Like you're not going to get a better, if you're ever injured, you're like, oh, I'm just going to dial eight until someone answers the phone.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Well, it's perfect. Absolutely perfect. I know they split up. No, one of them died. Well, yeah, so they're split up. I think it's just, I think it's just Salient. It's one of the two, obviously, but the guy rebranded so fast. They must have hated each other
Starting point is 00:25:07 because I remember seeing a billboard very quick. It was just like, now it's just like Salino Law Attorney. I'm like, holy shit. Yeah, that shit in the chamber. There's a whole bunch of those like 877 cash now. The J.G. Wentworth. I'm going to be thinking of that for the next six hours. Oh, I mean, the worst, the absolute worst,
Starting point is 00:25:30 and I feel bad saying it, but it's stuck in my head now. 1-877 cars for kids whoever came up with that I'm not going to play it for your iron you're lucky you've never heard it big to you doesn't seem like you've heard it even no I know what it is yeah okay yeah that's the worst
Starting point is 00:25:47 I don't know what they do I've been meaning to look into that we should look into that it's a scam has to be they offer like kids can drive cars well they offer cruises for cars and like the cruises like some people don't even get their tickets for them you donate you donate your car today as they make very clear in the song and it's just it's just an acoustic guitar and like one kid locked in a room somewhere singing the theme song it's very eerie it gets stuck in your head they've made it and it started on the radio it's become a television commercial which that should have been illegal um but yeah i don't know what they do like they take your car as a donation for children it none of it adds up i've yeah i've never looked into that either it didn't make sense to me i I thought you were going to know what they do.
Starting point is 00:26:34 No. It just, yeah, just says donate your car today in the comfort of your home, easy and contact free process with our simple online form. Like, what are they doing? We'll come take your car. Yeah. Who are the kids? They don't make it very clear.
Starting point is 00:26:48 They donate cars to kids. It's cars for kids. Charitynavigator.org gives it a poor rating with a score of 69.87, earning it a one-star rating. Charity Navigator believes donors can give with confidence to charities with three and four star ratings. I heard this. No, I think the idea behind it is for like families that like can't afford a car so they
Starting point is 00:27:17 give it to them. But they don't really make it super clear. That's just what I'm inferring based on all the information at hand. Yeah, it's a sketchy business. It's K-A-R-S cars for kids. Nowhere in the Cars for Kids ads to the charity and potential donors of how their car donations will help kids. Why donate?
Starting point is 00:27:37 This is their website. Why donate to cars for kids? Help change the lives of thousands of local kids with your donation. Give kids a second chance to earn their high school diploma. 100% of net proceeds go to the kids. Receive the highest possible tax deduction for your donation. The donation process is fascinating. We provide free towing and convenient pickup options.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Our family staff will assist you with all paperwork. We are a tax example. Irish approved 501C3 nonprofit charity. So that didn't clear anything up. If Elizabeth Holmes is in jail, these people should be in jail. They absolutely, they don't tow your shit away. They show up. They put their hand up.
Starting point is 00:28:16 They ask you to toss them the keys and they drive off. They just, this seems like someone figured out a legal way to steal cards. That's what it sounds like to me. But when you donate a car vehicle to cars for kids, you take comfort and knowing that our charity card donation program is the only one of its kind where 100% of the net proceeds go to the kids. What the fuck does that mean?
Starting point is 00:28:39 It's a chop shop. They're stripping it down for the medals. But they said help high school kids get their diploma. Are they donated? What is it? It's free. Listen, I got to tell you something. I went to high school.
Starting point is 00:28:50 It wasn't that hard. Donating a car ain't going to help anybody get a high school diploma. Okay. If you can't get it, that's on you. What I'm thinking is maybe, what I'm thinking is maybe they help kids get closed transportation to schools that makes sense but it doesn't say what it does with the money is you like help your kids so this where's the money coming in if you're giving the car for free
Starting point is 00:29:11 where's the money coming from i get they got to sell them so this says why would i just sell it and donate it to the local youth i don't know they have they have their own auction uh oh oh r a h cars for kids sister charity is the organization that actually runs the quote, educational development and recreational programs for Jewish youth and their families described in Cars for Kids Mission Statement. So only Jewish people? Yeah, it looks like it's a Jewish charity. URA, which means awaken in Hebrew, specializes in outreach to non-observant Jews operating
Starting point is 00:29:47 summer camps and other programs that seek to make non-Orthodox Jews more observant. None of those things lead to a diploma, though. Listen, they got a one star. okay i do they have a uh or do do charities do no what is that what is that um shit that that organization the better bureau better business better business bureau yeah that that would they don't do charities do they no they people like pay their way out to get like an a plus rating from them to look good yeah definitely but i don't know someone has to be on top of charities though there has to be someone looking into them it looks like it's charity watch dot org man that's that's a that's why
Starting point is 00:30:32 that's why that's why that's why that's why that's why that's why that's what i got rid of my charity man i realize this shit was just a fuck it's just it's just where rich people they just want to feel good and they just wash a lot of people wash money they just do it's it's shit is whack isn't it like don't a lot of especially like i feel like every athlete does pop up with a charity charity charity i think charity is different than like um foundation i'm talking about foundation it's called the charity the charity commission is the government body that regulates charities but isn't it one thing where it's like you would you would start a foundation uh and then that's where you would hire your friend to run it and when you pay him that's now a tax right off and so now you know
Starting point is 00:31:15 right that's what i mean everything everything is a tax right off when they donate it the shit that you do with the money it's all a tax right so it's like there is good work that is done within foundations and charities. But what I've seen from my experience, it's really just for rich people to write off taxes and feel good about themselves. Like, it's just really gross, man. There are, I mean, there are good, like, grassroots organizations
Starting point is 00:31:37 that you can donate to where they really just put the money to use, you know what I'm saying? Definitely. A lot of times, a lot of times it's just handing out turkeys in the hood. You know what I mean? It's just like, it's optics. It's optics. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Well, I say we get into what we were going to talk about today specifically. Hang on. Hang on. Can we do one more thing? Yeah, go ahead. This doesn't really involve Arian, but I just need to talk to Coley about this. You saw the other take from today that ESPN put out. Listen, ESPN. Well, what ESPN, as much as they've fallen off, what they're still good at is infuriating people and drawing clicks.
Starting point is 00:32:16 And they can't be any more than that. That was bait. I don't mind you blogging it. It's up. It should have been blogged because they deserve to get made fun of. Yeah, listen, if they're getting clicks, I'm getting clicks too. For sure. Yeah, no, I get that. But it's one of those things.
Starting point is 00:32:31 You've got to feel the people then. You don't know. They have Derek Jeter as like the 25th best baseball player of all time ahead of like inarguably better player. Albert Cuhulls was the main one, but Tony Gwynn also, Mariano Rivera is better than him, Ichiro. Yeah. It's insane.
Starting point is 00:32:47 Derek Jeter is really good. One of the best short stops of all time. There are many better than him. one of the best of all time should have been a first ballot hall of famer tremendous baseball player not better than like 75 to 100 people who've ever played baseball that's it is what it is there were four or five seasons he wasn't the best shortstop in the a at least there were multiple seasons he wasn't the best shortstop or his own fucking team yeah no that's absolutely true so it's like i don't he's really good i think he's a lot cooler than he gets credit for
Starting point is 00:33:16 as we keep moving away from his career um i do think his postseason faculty should they kind of get buried when the conversation about him. I don't like talking about them because I don't like giving a Yankee too much credit. But yeah, what did they have in 28th? I think, yeah, he was 26 or 28. Yeah, he was 20. I think Arod was 26. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Arod's higher than 26 too. So that was pretty insane of them to have that. They put that graphic out because they knew people would get upset. Who is maybe top 10? That's like when we. put out the graphics of like best singers and we put like we do that on purpose though people actually had to write this right yeah I mean it was I mean if we want to talk if we want to keep it in the baseball realm did you see what your boy did last night big team
Starting point is 00:34:06 my boy Gary Sheffield Jr. I didn't but I love that he's my boy I think he actually follows me on Twitter I would bet it he uh he he got dudes he doesn't It was a tough scene. What happened? So there's a, there's a troll account on Twitter that I love. I won't even call him a troll account because that's disrespectful. They're the, the number one source in sports and sports media these days, most trusted. Everyone's favorite ball sack sports.
Starting point is 00:34:41 They tweeted out a graphic of Josh Smith. I'm just looking at this. And under the graphic, it said, LeBron couldn't play in my era. this is attributed to no one it's not like it's not a sourced quote it's just it's it was the perfect tweet really what's the whole thing to say so it's a picture of josh smith that says this this does come to you from at ball sack sports on twitter and it's a graphic it looks like one that we'd make honestly it's a very professional looking graphic which is all it takes for people to buy it hook lines it's a good looking graphic it's a different game back then
Starting point is 00:35:18 much more physical i don't think he has the jump shot our skills to really consistently dominate defenses then as he does today. There's so much spacing in today's game. We had two to three guys on a star player any given night. Nothing was easy. Josh Smith on LeBron translating to the 2000s. That's not real. That can't be real.
Starting point is 00:35:35 No, he didn't say that, but then Gary Sheffield, Jr. wrote that on Outkick. Which Fox News tweeted out to their 28 million followers from the at Fox News handle. Oh, it went out on Fox News. yeah yeah i uh shit on lebrun no it was the one time actually fox news was defending lebron but it was against nothing like it wasn't a real quote they were just like oh lepins a lebron thing people will click it but i read gary sheffield juniors a i didn't know he did it because i only saw it from fox news so the second i opened it because i already knew the quote was fake the second i opened it and i saw his name i said this is enough to keep senior out of the hall
Starting point is 00:36:15 like this is if this is why they don't want to put him in i'm okay with it Can I play devil's advocate for one second? If there's anybody who would say something that stupid, it's Josh Smith. No, stop it. Stop it. I'm not going to stand for Josh Smith Slater. One of the dumbest people to ever live. Let's be honest. Josh Smith is the original LeBron. He was the first person to come back from down 3-1. He got Doc Rivers the fuck out of there when he was on the clippers.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Shout out the Houston Rockets. Listen, I love Josh Smith as a kid. One of my favorite quotes of all time was after he went like, 0 of 11 from 3 in a game and a reporter asked him why did you keep shooting he said because I was open it's one of my favorite quotes of all time if Ben Simmons had Josh Smith's outlook on basketball he would be the best player in the league fact probably you got to let us I love Josh Smith I love anyone who's close personal friends with Rondo because Rondo doesn't have many close personal friends because he's a bad guy and Josh Smith in that inner circle huh
Starting point is 00:37:16 why is Rondo a bad guy? he's just like he doesn't like people like how you like how you look at dogs that's how he looks of people i look at people the same as well i just have to deal with them yeah he's he's not much for the dealing with it no right i love rondo he's just like he's his own guy he doesn't give a fuck um and him and josh smith boys all the way back to oak hill i always wanted them on the celtics together didn't come to fruition but obviously joss smith who was drafted a year after lebron james would never say that and i read sheffield's article to make sure he wasn't like doing another troll on top of it like he got the joke he didn't get the joke at all
Starting point is 00:37:54 he went on to say anyone who checks uh journalistic sources is an idiot um so that's that's what that's what we get going on in the world today those are the other takes has he acknowledged this or is he just like tweeting through it sheffield i don't know i haven't i haven't checked that it was you can check i don't know yeah i'm i'm looking at his tweets i don't really It's just a lot of tweets about the lockout. It was very funny. Ballsack Sports is global. Shout out Ballsack.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Yeah, you got to just tweet through that. You have to. You can't fall from Ballsack Sports. You can't. Ball sack sports. It's not if they weren't even trying to hide it. It just says in blood letters, Ballsack Sports.
Starting point is 00:38:38 That's just, it's like the third time I've seen them go viral in like the last six months where people just very clearly don't read. Like the answer is in front of you. People, anyone, the reason I very much appreciate people like Ball Sacks Sports, which gets funny every time I say it, they get people to admit loudly that they don't read. Like they don't know how to read.
Starting point is 00:38:59 They're not even trying to read. Anyone who does that consistently is good money in my book. Like the people who fall for like the fake Adam Schaefter, the fake Ian Rappaport, like, yeah, that happens. Like sometimes you're a little too fast. You don't check to see if it's very much. I got to figure out what I do block me, bro. I got to figure it out, man.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Which one? Ian Rappaport. I originally said it was Darren Roval, but it wasn't him. I knew it was one of the biggest. We could figure that out for sure. I want to know why he blacked me, though. I think PFT knows him pretty well. Yeah, PFT knows him well.
Starting point is 00:39:28 We could probably get him on, to be honest. Put him on. That would be a good concept. Why you block me, cousin? What do I do to you? Because like, he's so, like, he's always on my timeline and I'll click it. I'm like, fuck. Like, I don't, it's like, I don't give a fuck what he's saying, but like, I wouldn't know what he said.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Because it's always on my fucking timeline. Right. Listen, I'm blocked by. by Woj and it's tough. It's a tough scene. Wait, is that the Wall Street Journal? No, Adrian Wodznarowski, the basketball insider. Oh, I have no idea of it.
Starting point is 00:39:56 No idea of it. You absolutely do. He breaks every basketball signing that's ever happened. He's been on your timeline, no less than a million times. But it's not blocked, so I just keep going. For sure. When it's blocked, you know, you click it. You know what I said?
Starting point is 00:40:09 That's a, that's a fucked up experience, man. And you're like, and you're like, I don't even know this motherfucker. How do they block? Why do they block? It's annoying. Yeah. woge block me and it's it makes my job harder it really does you ain't got no burners to get a burner yeah i mean i've had other like i have the mixtape account i'm lot when i'm logged in but like
Starting point is 00:40:29 to log out just to log into something about it's that that two seconds it takes is so it's just like all we got his time i feel you all we got his time man speaking of which have y'all see ready player one you know i have i think i'm the only one who has no i have oh gosh I'm going to make a concerted effort. This week, by the time we record next Monday, I'm going to have made a concerted effort to watch it. You still what you're surety? Yeah, why?
Starting point is 00:41:02 All right, y'all, y'all have a date night, but like, oh, let's, let's see it, let's Netflix and chill, ma. Order some chick filet. We're gonna, order some, order some chick filet, sit down, you know what I'm saying? Get some apples. Log off, log off a gab, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:41:16 And just turn everything. No free ads. No free ads. You know what's fantastic that I just tried. Bud Light, Seltzer, hard sodas. Oh, boy. That does seem like something you would like. Have you tried this?
Starting point is 00:41:31 Three out of the four, two out of the four elite. There's like classic cola and there's cherry. Those are elite. Orange takes a bit of a step down and then lemon lime is like another half step below that, but they're all fantastic. And what's your favorite healthy food, man? healthy food healthy
Starting point is 00:41:50 define healthy the pickles on a check of a leg no no no pickle no pickle we agree nutritionally beneficial for longevity of life I don't know I mean like
Starting point is 00:42:05 I'm a big fruit guy I love fruit not as much not as much into the vegetables fruit all day give me all the fruit vegetables are terrible fruit
Starting point is 00:42:18 yeah that's strawberries love that's got a lot of sugar in it but like apples those are good those are those are good sugars though yeah it's not processed it's different than like
Starting point is 00:42:28 a milkshake sugar yeah for sure apples big apple guy grapes give me all the fruit grapes are almost candy like grapes don't really count as fruit
Starting point is 00:42:39 that's fun but grapes are fruit they are but like like someone broke it down like the actual sugar is like closer to it not I know it is a fruit but like it's not really like
Starting point is 00:42:54 you don't get many benefits from grapes as you do other fruits that's not true don't grapes have any oxidants they are an antioxidant yes they will but like blueberries are as well and blueberries are way healthier for you overall I would agree with you
Starting point is 00:43:08 and I think if you truly wanted to be like extremely healthy I think you would just eat pomegranates when talking fruit. Grapes are higher in calories, fats and carbs
Starting point is 00:43:20 are blueberries contain more protein. Blueberries are overall richer in minerals and vitamins containing higher levels of vitamin C.E.
Starting point is 00:43:27 Huh. Blueberries are more superior in grapes. But blueberries don't make wine like grapes do. So it's true. Fuck on.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Another health food. See, wine tastes like shit to me. I can't, I can't drink it. It's horrible. That's, that's, That's really bad.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Well, how old are you? You have a, your palate is, is pretty trash. 24. Okay. Well, granted, I didn't drink any alcohol until I was 23, so. Oh, this is your first year. Oh, well, okay, yeah, you should be, you should be drinking the works right now. Maddoch, 2020, natural ice.
Starting point is 00:44:02 You should be just doing the worst right now. The Bud Light Spike soda he's talking about is something like me in college, I would have been drinking 24 night. I think when you mature, it's like a branch, right? you go like three or four different ways like people some people like really find tequilas and you start to realize that there are quality tequila and then you feel like there's quality whiskeys then there's quality vicas and then wine right and like once you once you branch out of the let's just get fucking wasted on whatever's in the fridge once you get out of that stage you start to realize that there are quality alcohols that are fermented with care love and and
Starting point is 00:44:36 you can taste the difference i haven't realized that i haven't tried white wine yet i feel like i might like that slightly more. My mother's a white wine drinker. I cannot. It's just too sweet. It's way too sweet. It's like. I'm a white wine drink. Which is why I think he's like it. Yeah. If you get like a Sauvianbon or something or something like that, it's sweeter.
Starting point is 00:44:56 It's more juice. So duly noted. So I think, I think that's what it is, man. It's like when you, when you reach the, the alcoholic age of maturity, you just, you realize that, um, you're not drinking just, to get drunk. You're drinking because you enjoy the taste, and it goes really well with your meal. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, so it's deeper than just getting faded. Like, well, I remember when I was in college. Well, I started drinking when I was 12, really bad, by the way.
Starting point is 00:45:24 But like, and it was just whatever they had, right? It's just whatever they old English. I used to go on a picky 12 year olds. I wasn't a picky 12 year old. I was like, yo, y'all got any penal? I'm not really filling the med dog 2020. You know what I'm saying? This is a 95? Give me 94. Yeah, nah. But. I think once you get in a drinking game a little bit, which I don't advocate for, right? Alcohol is definitely poison, but I think it has some health benefits in moderation,
Starting point is 00:45:50 but we drink it to get drunk. Greatest feeling I've experienced, one of them. All right, people. I'll tell you why. This is more of a mental health issue. Okay. For years, I was so apathetic to everything and everybody.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Like, I was like, I didn't give a fuck. Like, I was so focused on grinding to get my, like, I didn't care about emotions. I thought you was weak if you cried. I thought you was bitch. I thought you was, you know what I was? I was that guy. I was like, shut up with that shit
Starting point is 00:46:28 and just move forward, right? So I couldn't feel. So, like, when women, like, used to cry about things, I, like, I would laugh. I'd be like, come on, bro. That kind of shit, right? and that but when I drank I got really emotional and I could understand and hear feelings like all of that right it's funny but it's like it's like it came down yeah and for years that was my only reprieve from apathy was drinking and so I loved it because it allowed me to feel and so in my later years like you know really when I hit probably like 28 20 yeah but 28 was when I was like I got to change because like I'm hurting people around me like everybody calling me an asshole like you know Like, I just didn't care.
Starting point is 00:47:09 And so, and so, and so it's still, you know, I still am overly emotional when I drink, but I can, I know, I know I can feel again. It's a really good, really good feeling. I bet. I bet. Listen, you spread a little Molly in there. You'll be feeling fucking the heavens. I fuck around and have another baby, man. I'm good off of that line.
Starting point is 00:47:34 That's one thing. I refuse, like, aside from alcohol, like, I can't. ingest something that is like it's not like natural or organic I get what you're saying I understand that the hesitancy for sure
Starting point is 00:47:50 but listen man these chemists know what they're doing I absolutely would if I had like a doctor on standby and like he's like yo this is what's in this it's pure it's would you move and I'm like cool hooked me up I'll be the guinea pig
Starting point is 00:48:04 I'm on it just do it I definitely wouldn't advocate doing really anything now with fentanyl fucking popping up and everything i agree with that i would i agree a thousand percent on that 100 percent man oh yeah that what we're talking about today yeah yeah i believe so all right here's what we're going to do i asked everybody to pick top three people that they would give a statue to pf t semilus billy did not so i say we'll go oh man i know billy unbelievable uh you don't I say we'll go, I don't remember the exact order last time, but I remember Mad Dog, me. I think we went in like order of the room.
Starting point is 00:48:45 So I will go reverse this time, I guess. And we'll start with Coley, Aryan, Big T, me, and then Mad Dog. Hit it. My number one, he only has like, he has a statue. I don't think one is enough. I think every state, everywhere there is a statue. his statue should be right next to it. That's Bill Russell.
Starting point is 00:49:09 I don't know that there's been truly a more well-rounded and important American as Bill Russell. Not only is he a champion, he's just genuinely, maybe the most moral human being, we can point to and say like, yes, he was real and did live.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Like, I don't know how anyone has that much patience. I don't know how much, how someone has that much courage. Bill Russell deserves way more statues than he currently has. Okay, it's a good start. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:36 All right, so my first one is a fictional character. But I think we got to go with Mufasa. Mufasa is just that dude, his voice commands. He's just everything the light touches. It's just one of them things where it's like he's everybody's father or grandfather. You know what I mean? He's just everybody's, that's an authority figure that I respect and love. It's Bufasa.
Starting point is 00:50:04 pre pre wine arian would have called him a bitch for dying nah it wasn't his fault his bitch ass brother's fault you know what I'm saying he was trying to save his son he was being brave as fuck scar a hole so I all uh I have one that's almost identical to everything coli said and mine was going to be Hank Aaron for like almost all the exact reasons
Starting point is 00:50:26 that you said like yeah he's like he has a statue at Truis Park but like Hank Aaron uh dukes asks who the greatest athlete of all time was yesterday and I said Hank Aaron, I think purely for what he did on the field, but also like one of the most important Americans to ever live. Yeah. I mean, they were at a lot of the same places doing the same thing. I was telling Aryan last time we were in New York, like part of the reason Aryan was able to make as much money is because of Bill Russell sit in before the All-Star game in Kansas City where he refused to take the court because he found out how much CBS was
Starting point is 00:50:59 making off of it. And he had the whole league sit in and that really changed contracts in America. People, also like Spencer Haywood, a lot of people have also put in work towards it. But Bill Russell was really the first to be like, wait a minute. Let's let's take a second here and figure this to fuck out. But yeah, I've got- Also, also Eric Dickerson. Eric Dickerson was one of the ones that was the catalyst in ushering free agency and arguing why running back should get paid. But yeah, I've got zero qualms with-haven.
Starting point is 00:51:32 I like both y'all picks, really. I don't think he's the greatest athlete of all time, but I think he gets overlooked in the discussion. I absolutely agree. Sparry Sanders. Depends what you mean when you say athlete. Like the best athlete of all time is Bo Jackson, the best sports player of all time.
Starting point is 00:51:51 There's a bunch you could say. Like, I've been thinking about Bo Jackson a lot, and I don't want to be anti-Boe Jackson by any stretch. If you're truly trying to argue the best two-sport athlete of all time, Jordan was better at basketball than Bo Jackson was at either of the two sports he played. So why is it that Jordan's not technically the better two sport athlete
Starting point is 00:52:12 if he truly dominated one way more than Bo did either? I say Dion if we're talking about two sports athletes. I definitely think Dion's in the conversation. I think it's Deion and Bo Jackson, but I didn't even mean two sport. I just meant like when people say best athlete, I think half the people think like raw pure athleticism and some think like the best at playing a sport.
Starting point is 00:52:32 and I think they're yeah I don't think I think I think when I think best athlete about them I think can do things or has done things
Starting point is 00:52:41 in their perspective sport or sports that is just mind blowing that is just like defies what you think athletes
Starting point is 00:52:49 the human body can do like that's that's what I think of when I think of athlete um and to me that was Barry Sanders there was just
Starting point is 00:52:56 have never been another athlete that I watched that was like how the fuck did that happen right like all basketball players is, like, really technical. It's really, like, you have a lot of game, a lot of, a lot of
Starting point is 00:53:08 jump, jumping ability, you know, a lot of, a lot of skill set. But, like, when I watched various founders, it was like, you're not supposed to be able to do that as a human. You know what I'm saying? And, like, to this day, there's never been anybody anywhere close to what he's done on the football field. It's just, it was just mind-blowing. And that's what I think of when I think of the best at football time. I still think it's Russell. National high jump champ best basketball like Michael Jordan Space Jam and everything on him hell but he was like
Starting point is 00:53:40 Wilt wasn't doing that to him Wilt was much bigger talking about multiple sport Jackie Robinson was like one of the best track and feet of athletes to ever live He was the best quarterback in UCLA history Yeah Jesse Owens Jesse Owens as well Jesse Owens is a killer Yeah there's a whole bunch of people
Starting point is 00:54:00 someone John Heyman went viral sorry John Damon went viral the other day when Brady retired he was like the best athletes of all time and he still has Babe Ruth won and it's just like you can't even begin to any people Brady too which is also wrong
Starting point is 00:54:18 Brandon and I got into the whole Babe Ruth thing today when we were talking about Poohole soon It's sound like it sounds like y'all chick filet takes who it sounds like No no no Coli and I I think agree that Babe Ruth is like not even in that conversation. It's weird.
Starting point is 00:54:33 I think if Babe Ruth was born in 1989, he would be an all-star today. I genuinely believe that. I don't think he'd be the best player of all time. I also, I think we should probably do a Babe Ruth episode, maybe this month, because it's possible if he's not a white guy. He was talking about the Abraham Lincoln thing.
Starting point is 00:54:54 I was like, well, you know who might have been black was Babe Ruth. Yeah, Babe Ruth. There's more evidence to. point to him being black than there is to point to him being white. I'll say that. I don't know enough about Babe Ruth. I guess I got to look back into him, man. Yeah, he's, uh, like, no one knows who his parents are because he's an orphan.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Um, if you look at like, physical attributes of him compared to everyone who's playing against, like, his hair's different. Like, he's just, he's just very, very light. So it's like, how, like his nickname other players called him makes it seem like, they didn't think he was white. It's a lot of compelling evidence. Time said something one time about staying at a hotel that he certainly didn't think he was white.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Yeah. There's not a lot of evidence pointing to him being and also the fact that he was just much better than everyone else at the same time. Like I don't, I don't know. I don't know what the evidence would be like, yep, that's a white guy. So it's interesting. But I don't, when you talk about all time, if you thoroughly dominated your era, I find it hard to believe being brought to a different area, you would struggle.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Yeah. I understand that. Athletes evolve, too. And so, I know Billy doesn't think so, but athletes evolved. And you kind of got to judge it relative to the times. Like when I see 6'5 Draymond Green being the best rim defender in the NBA, and then someone tells me Bill Russell couldn't play today, like, how am I supposed to feel about that? He was 6'9, he was.
Starting point is 00:56:26 Dennis Robin, Dennis Robin. Right. Same thing. Like, I don't get, I just don't understand. Like, they didn't raise the hoop since, like, it's not 12 feet now. Like, I don't get it. Speaking of which, they should lower the hoop in women's basketball. Stop it. You're going to get, you're going to get shit on for saying that. You're going to get on national girls and women in Sports Day. How could you? I, is that today? Yeah. Yeah, it is. There's just too many days to keep up with. All right. So here's my argument, right? It's not that, okay, do we not agree. Would we not agree that physically there is a massive difference between men and women vertically? I agree with you. A lot of people on your side of the aisle would hate you for saying that. I don't even think that's that's not controversial. It is.
Starting point is 00:57:15 There's a physical difference. No, we talk about when they talk about. Rogan's gotten in trouble for saying exactly what you just said. No, I promise. That is controversial. Yeah. That's saying same. men's sports
Starting point is 00:57:28 doesn't have a vertical advantage to women's sports? Yes. Well, then come at me. I don't know what fuck. Aryan is arguing like equality versus equity. Like it's equal because it's both 10 feet, right? 10 feet?
Starting point is 00:57:45 So my thing is this. The reason why they should lower it is this, right? Because I want to be entertained by women's basketball like I am men's basketball. Let's be honest. There's not a lot. of, and this is a very hot take, I'm well aware, but there's not a lot of, I think the reason
Starting point is 00:58:02 the fandom is lacking in women's basketball, right? To the extent that it is in men's, is because of the high-flying shit. That's why we want to see acrobatic high-flying shit. We want our athletes to be the most athletic. And when you're physically limiting your possibility of dunking, that just is what it is. Well, let me ask you this. Who has been the most electric player in basketball the last 10 years? Steph Curry. Can't. can barely dunk. I don't. But he could do,
Starting point is 00:58:30 you could do, are you not arguing that there's anybody in women's basketball that can keep up with Steph Curry, right? I'm not saying she could,
Starting point is 00:58:38 like Sue Berg could guard him. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is the marketing of the WNBA has been lacking. They've done a bad job with their product. Up until recently, the past,
Starting point is 00:58:47 I'd say three years, they've actually given a fuck. And it's, the growth that's shown, I believe, is bigger than any of the four major sports, which of course, it should be because the other sports don't have much more room to grow.
Starting point is 00:58:59 So that's part of the argument too. But I do think the WMBA has gotten a lot more fans recently because it's like the games are on TV now. Like you can actually watch. Like I do think people have come around to being like, oh, there is actually like some killers in the WMBA. Like I'll watch Kelsey Plum. I'll watch Sue. No, I'll watch them all day. I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:59:23 I'm sure that there is a market. And I don't want to see some. My point is, if you lowered it to nine, I don't think that many more people would be dunking. B, it would just devalue the overall product of the sport. Then it would truly look like a junior sport. But C, I don't want to see people shooting on a nine foot hoop. That looks goofy.
Starting point is 00:59:40 But that's what I'm saying. Okay, hold on. Are the, are the balls the same size? No. They're a little smaller. Yeah, it's a small. So why are we okay with that? But we're not okay with low-in-grim.
Starting point is 00:59:50 I'm shocked. People are okay with it, to be honest with you. It just don't make no sense because what we're doing is, were saying, like, like, I understand, listen, I'm as left as you can get, right? So I understand equality and I understand the women's, uh, uh, their, their plight to get the same rights as men in this country. I do understand that. But if, if we're going to pretend like it's on equal playing field, then we're just fooling ourselves. Like it's, I don't think, I don't think people do, though. Like, what is I heard? But right before Kobe passed, he was getting shit, um, because
Starting point is 01:00:25 he was saying I remember the interview you're talking about someone he was saying some woman could play in the NBA yeah yeah he said was it like tarasie or somebody someone yeah and he was like and people were pushing back like why does that have to be the validation for women basketball players like we know the wmba is their NBA we no one's trying to I think the direct comparison to the NBA is what the w MBA is trying to get away from. in a sense because it's just like, yeah, we, you will, you will never. For sure. And I understand that. But like to compare it one to one, I don't like, what good does that do the WMBA? Well, this is what I'm saying is, is if you don't want to be compared,
Starting point is 01:01:08 then why are we, everything is standard with what you're trying to do with the men's league. So the fact that there is the men's league, it's always going to be compared because the, the fact of the matter is this. The best basketball in the world is played in the NBA. For sure. Disagre. Okay. So, well, it will always be. The best basketball in the world's probably played at Yukon for the women. Gino's got those girls crag in Greece. I'm headed up there Sunday. I'm traveling six hours round trip to go to a women's basketball game area.
Starting point is 01:01:37 And that's how much I love women's basketball. That's what's going to kick their ass. I hope that you. Oh, is what's her name hurt this year? They're not that good this year. We're actually, we're going to beat them. Who's the girl Jack Max in love this? Kelsey Beck, Buckers.
Starting point is 01:01:52 Yeah, Paige Beckers. Pagebackers. She's her right now. Is she out this year? I think it was supposed to be like a couple months. She's nasty. Is that who Kobe was talking about? No, it was before her.
Starting point is 01:02:03 I think. Yeah, she's only a soft for her. No, I know she's new to college, but I thought it was like she was going into Yukon and he was like, I think she's the one. It might have been. I'm going back. I'm trying to find that right now.
Starting point is 01:02:18 People are pissed. And Kobe's like one of the most progressive women basketball fans before the NBA started jumping on that train after him. Kobe was, like, actually coaching young women. That's what I'm saying. I don't want to come off as some he-man woman-hater, right, because I'm not. But I think we get lost in our own ego sometimes.
Starting point is 01:02:36 Like, the fact that there's smaller balls, right, denotes that there's a difference. And if there wasn't, then they should be advocating for the same playing field. And if you do play on the same playing field, this is why Mad Dogg made a great point with equity, not equality. If you do it on the same playing field, it's not going to be close and that's okay i don't understand why we are trying to pretend it's
Starting point is 01:03:00 not that's what i don't understand in an interview i think it's sorry go ahead oh i was in an interview with cnncobie said there are current w nba players who quote could most certainly keep up in the mbriot cited diana tarrasi maya more and elena deladonna's women who could make their marks in the men's game all bucket getters true all right Where are we at? My thing is, I don't think, I don't think Arian, you would watch one more second of WNBA if they were dunking more. I really don't think you would. You got me fucked up.
Starting point is 01:03:31 I promise you I would. Let me find somebody going down here, yamming on somebody. That's why I don't watch basketball for bounce passes and nice picks. That's just me. But I didn't grow up in the AAU circuit and I don't appreciate good basketball, right? It's like when I watch football now, it's hard for me to watch football. That's bad football, right? Because all I do is critique it, right?
Starting point is 01:03:51 I'm just a fan of basketball. I admit that. Yeah, I played in high school, didn't get much higher at all higher than high school, right? And so I don't have like this, this purest opinion of basketball. I like watching it because I like seeing it dump. I like seeing crazy passes. I like seeing crazy handles. And so that's what I look for in basketball when it's like, so my daughter plays, right?
Starting point is 01:04:13 My daughter plays and she's 12 years old and I love it of death. She's the joy of my life, but her games are fucking boring, bro. It is what it is. It's just not entertaining. I love her. I hope she's having a blast. But it's not fun for me to watch. That's just my entertainment.
Starting point is 01:04:31 All 12-year-old stink. Oh, man. I don't know, man. What I'm saying? All right, man. All I'm saying is my entertainment purpose. And I could be the odd ball out, right? I would venture to say I probably am the oddball out that we don't want to see women
Starting point is 01:04:47 just dunking. And that wouldn't change our opinion. That's what's what I. But for me, in order to get me really, interested in this shit, I would want to see more athleticism you know in the form of dunking. I guess this is what I want to see
Starting point is 01:05:02 I could be the all ball out. Don't hate women. Don't hate women sports is what it is. You just want some dunks. I would much rather I would much want some dunks. Bro, I watch I watch I love women's track dog. Love women's track. Love women's tennis. Like all that shit like I'm a I'm a fan. But like when it comes to women's basketball, it's just it's not my preference. It's what it is. So what it is. So,
Starting point is 01:05:22 what do you think about like when john mackenrow said that serena would be like not in the top hundred men's players like what do you think about that i i don't know enough about tennis right and john mackerel played i know serena will is nice but i just don't know enough about tennis if that's a debate for tennis heads right but i don't take i don't take issue with it because i in my opinion there is a physical difference between sex well first of all there's a difference between sex and gender. I'm in that camp, right? And so when you're talking about sex,
Starting point is 01:05:54 there are physical advantages evolutionarily that come with being a man versus being a woman, right? Being born that way. And when you talk about athleticism, years of building upon those advantages, there's going to be physical differences. Like I said, I don't know enough about tennis
Starting point is 01:06:10 to say yes or no, right? I would think it would be fun to watch. I would, that would be fun to watch. I mean, they have mixed doubles and shit. Like, tennis is the one we have seen a woman beat a mat like i don't right i don't know i just don't know enough about tennis but what i'm saying is what i'm saying is i do think there's differences but i don't i don't get caught up in like that's that's where my that's where i'm probably a real centrist when it comes to politics
Starting point is 01:06:35 yeah i agree with you i just don't give i just don't give a fuck like who cares like if it if a if a dude is just it's what it is like i i'm just very centrist when it comes to that shit yeah i agree with you i think that's there are a lot of more people who would disagree with you than you think no no i'm i'm very well aware of the leftist side of things there's there's it's it's like a faux progression uh progression like people are trying to be like no i'm super progressive because i say this and it's just like what you're saying doesn't make any logical sense i'm arguing just the pure basketball of it like yeah i do think like the shooting is like you'll see better shooting in women's basketball than men's because
Starting point is 01:07:16 they're more technically proficient now you just said you don't give it shit so that even if a man it's not like Kyle Corver's your favorite player. He's mine. I would like to I swear to God. I've got a Kyle Corver jersey. I swear to God. Hey, one of the greatest street he was all the time. I'm with you, man. Whatever floats you fancy. He was so awesome. Top 15.
Starting point is 01:07:35 He was one. Hang on. What do you mean he's not top 15 shooters of all time? Correct. You're kidding. Man, hold on. Put that that for sure not. You're kidding. Put that band take aside. He's like top four. He's like third. Literally. Yeah, made because he was the first. person shooting them so the fuck what no he's like the third best shooter ever no i wouldn't say that definitely not this is 15 you think he's better than doris step curry ray allen uh clay
Starting point is 01:08:03 thompson he's not the third best shooter of all the time you're that's yeah do you think he's better than you're i think he's not a conversation he's not a better he's not a better he's not a getting me? He's not a better shot. Can Kyle Corre dribble and then shoot? Like that's not what we're talking of it. That's part of it. That's part of shooting. Well, you're adding the dynamic to it. Yeah, no, it's not as part of it. If we're just talking set shooters, like we're just talking empty. Well, he's not better. He's not better. He's not better than Clayton Thompson. No, he's not. That's what I'm saying. But if you want to put Clayton Thompson ahead of him, that's fine. Then that's three though. That's three. I've got two. You, you did, are
Starting point is 01:08:42 You're telling me Kyle Corver is a better shooter to Ray Allen. Is that what you said? Yes. Cancel the pod, family. Cancel the file. We got to move on. Let's say this is the worst. Let's say it's 4th.
Starting point is 01:08:52 That's not a 15. This is the worst. Oh, I can get 10 more. No. Who? I mean, you're not even giving me Kevin Durant. So why would I keep naming clearly better shooters? I don't understand that, though.
Starting point is 01:09:03 Kevin Durant might be one of the most efficient shooters about that. Right. Like I can go further back and say Pete Maravich. That's true. All right, Pete Marrovich. no you're going to get to that one or no exactly yeah so what's the point of this exercise if you're not going to give me obvious one what's your criteria my criteria is a guy who like shooting shooting shooting shoot the ball shooting shoot the ball shoot the basketball that's bad
Starting point is 01:09:27 this is bad it's bad argument okay let's go back to statute where are we at right now we're number two yeah that was literally just based off of Hank Aaron okay Aaron go ahead we may have no call his number two is first rapid fire no no wait we didn't even we're still on one wait who is Aaron who is yours my mine was mufasa okay mufasa right okay so let's do PFT PFT's his first one was Jimmy Hendricks I love that I love that yeah um okay and then my first one is so I would replace the Lincoln monument with George HW Bush holding the baseball like the meme of him holding the baseball when he's like 99 years old yeah yep I just think
Starting point is 01:10:09 it's a great meme it'd be hilarious It's a good man. It's a good man. We live in the time where a meme should be a statue. Yes, exactly. We should do a whole episode on memes. Yeah, we'll do an episode. The evolution of memes?
Starting point is 01:10:22 Okay. Just, yeah, just memes in general. Like, because actually the evolution is actually very crazy. With 4chan and all that shit. It's really dope, actually. What do you think the biggest meme-like person we could get on this show is? Like, somebody who's been a meme? I bet you we can get most of them because most of them are just regular cats.
Starting point is 01:10:40 but like the big ones We can't get Jordan Right, we can't get crying Jordan I'm aware But like A kombucha girl would be fire I use her all the time The dude
Starting point is 01:10:51 There was a dude Who was like Doing some D&D thing And he was like He did that shit That was like Oh I know who you're talking about
Starting point is 01:11:00 That dude That dude I use his shit all the time too I want to get the guy Who was like the I went to my biggest Hater's funeral That guy
Starting point is 01:11:09 like standing there in the scene died today what do you mean to die oh the commanders used it the commander's used it the worst way I've ever seen anyone use a meme that meme died that's my favorite meme's dead
Starting point is 01:11:20 no yeah they're like no more get a name jokes and it was him with like a hastily photoshopped Washington commanders oh god we got we got fucked yeah
Starting point is 01:11:31 damn that meme much like his biggest tater is now dead all right mad dog I mean mine's plain and simple LeBron James. That's it. I mean, that's it. Does he have none? No, he had the, he had the big, um, the billboard. The billboard. Yeah, that's not a statue. Yeah, that's not a witness. He doesn't have a, that's crazy statue. He might have one in Akron like at St. V. He's like his high school. I hope so. Because that's like his whole, like he has the gym and he has I promise school there. But in, if he does, it's not well, well talked about. So LeBron, plain and simple. I don't. To my. much to explain about that. I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that too.
Starting point is 01:12:12 Aryan posted a good meme today, too. It's like the two guys holding up the bandanas. I was yesterday. Yeah. That's all time. All right. Who's next? Coley's back.
Starting point is 01:12:25 I'm going to go off what PFT's talking about. Carlos Santana. Carlos Santana absolutely deserves a statue. Put it right at Woodstock. People forget Santana's. Santana's bands at Woodstock is really what like set things off and then Hendricks went after him and that's when people were like holy shit what are we experiencing but Santana it doesn't get talked about
Starting point is 01:12:48 enough for my liking I think Santana is the goat guitar player so Santana I argue me I think it's Jimmy but I feel you on that um yeah that I mean I love them both that's not like I'm anti Hendricks I just Santana's my my numeral one perfect yeah I'm with you big tea oh no it's Aaron my bad All right, um, my next statue would absolutely be my favorite Newman, Cornell West. I talk about him all the time, but Cornell West is just, I just, we just don't appreciate him enough, man. Like, I don't know if, if he kicks the bucket, man, I think, I think that's when his prestige will grow, but he is just a fucking brilliant mind, though. Um, yeah, Cornell. Uh, my second is S. Truett, Kathy, the founder of Chick-fil-A.
Starting point is 01:13:33 he invented one of the greatest things ever. Great philanthropist as well. Did a lot of the chicken sandwich. He invented the chicken sandwich? Yes. No, that's not cat. That's not cat. Chick-fil-A and...
Starting point is 01:13:48 Google it. Their slogan is, we didn't invent the chicken just the chicken sandwich. That's literally true. You're telling me, this nigga was the first one to put chicken and bread. Google it right now. Google it right now.
Starting point is 01:14:01 What the fuck? I don't have it. to, I promise you. Chicken's been around a long time and saw as bread. He wasn't the first, dog. I'm sorry. He's credited with it. Is he still alive?
Starting point is 01:14:12 No, he died. Not somebody getting credit for some shit they didn't do. I mean, had someone in human history, maybe put a piece of chicken between bread, I don't know, maybe. In 1926, Atlanta restaurant owner Truitt Kathy created an alternative to the hamburger when he placed a piece of boneless grilled chicken
Starting point is 01:14:28 inside a bun and dubbed it the Chick-fil-A. Now more than 70 years and 1,500 restaurants later, Chick-fil-A slogan is, we didn't invent the chicken, just the chicken sandwich. So you're telling me, that's the biggest cap of all the time. 1945, I couldn't find a chicken sandwich anywhere. I wasn't around. I couldn't tell you. I'm just telling you what the story is, okay?
Starting point is 01:14:47 That story for sure. I mean, listen, Aaron picked someone who didn't exist. You did as well. I think that's fine. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, he exists in my mind, Coley. He exists in my mind. And he's, all right. So as Stuart Kathy exists in Big T's mind.
Starting point is 01:15:00 Well, that folklore does. Now, ebony.com is claiming that he did not invent the chicken sandwich. His home page, yes. That was the first link. Hang on now. Listen, I trust the source on this, Matt. This just sounds very credible. I'm with it.
Starting point is 01:15:26 Apparently, I found several rebuttals to any Chick-fil-A invention, including a small add in Topeka's Kansas whip newspaper for a fried chicken sandwich special featured at the Booker Tea Cafe all the way back in 1936. So is it possible that Booker Tea, that he stole some shit? Yeah, probably. No, I, listen, I'm just, he was a great philanthropist, good man, he deserves a statue. Hold on. Is this the dude that don't open on Sundays? Because Jesus, he wants to give his workers a day of rest. Give us, does he pay him for the day? I mean, they're not working. Anyway.
Starting point is 01:16:04 You get a, this should be on this side for this. I'm not on his side. I'm not on his side. Pay him. Does he give him, does he, I ain't going to get it to the workers. Yeah. You don't get it off time. La, la, la, la. Does, uh, uh, you make me figure my point. Fuck. I had all these, I had all these other points bubbling up for the worker conversation. I fucked my original chicken sandwich point out. God damn it.
Starting point is 01:16:24 Who else? Uh, so PFT is, yeah, well, PFT's up. Um, I don't know how to pronounce it because there was a ranger named Voitek Volski is it Voitek the bear but it's spelled W-O-J-T-E-K He sent a picture of it Voj-J-O-C Vojek. Vojek
Starting point is 01:16:44 the bear. I only know Smokey the Bear. Yeah, he sent me a picture of it. The Wikipedia says that it was a young cub brought... Hold on a second. Sorry, I'm reading this wrong. In 1942, he was a part of the Polish corpse to Italy.
Starting point is 01:17:09 I don't even know. This is something that PFT would pick. I don't really know who he is. Voitek, yes. Voitek, a Syrian brown bear, bought as a young cub at a railway station in Hamadan, Iran by the Polish corpse soldiers who had been evacuated from the Soviet Union in order to provide for his rations and transatlantic. transportation, he was eventually enlisted officially as a soldier with the rank of a private and was subsequently promoted to corporal. So this was a legit corporal in the army, a bear. Interesting. I agree. He deserves a statue. Yep. I'm in on that. All right. My next one is
Starting point is 01:17:49 Henrik Lundquist, the best goaltender in New York Rangers history and the most winningest European goaltender of all time. He is my idol. And he just, Like a number of times? It doesn't matter. Cups don't define players. Let's move on. I agree. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:07 Championships don't define players, right, Arian? I a thousand percent agree. Thank you. Ken Griffey Jr. never won a championship. Let's move on. Barry Sanders, everyone's the playoffs. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:18:17 Bad Dog. Mindset Sports really, I think Ruth Bader Gensberg deserves one. I think she did a lot for women. Yeah. She was really. Yeah, I think she was really awesome. So I'm going with RBG for my second pick For the women
Starting point is 01:18:32 I don't hate it All right Big man I've got more people mad at me for saying Pickles are bad than the Chick-fil-A sandwich is bad Like people really love pickles I enjoy pizza Yeah
Starting point is 01:18:48 I mean I've tweeted it before I wrote something Last summer saying that Like it's insane That they come standard Correct Like, you shouldn't be, like, but once it's on the, if you don't like it, like it, like, I don't care if people like it or not, that's fine. Like, go do you. But once a pickle is put on something, it completely overwhelms the taste of everything. Like, it's not, it's not like lettuce you can just take off. Like, it very much leaves its mark. You can't just add that to things against people's will. Thank you. Hey, man, what's your third statue, man? You're talking about pickles, man.
Starting point is 01:19:27 It's going to be a statue of me when I eradicate pickles from here. You know, my last one that should exist, I don't think it does, would be one of Mike Vic and Alan Iverson in Newport News, Virginia. It's a flyer. Yeah. I love that shit. I love that shit. Like, they should absolutely be, like, Virginia should be known as like Mike Vic and Alan
Starting point is 01:19:50 Iverson played sports here. That's what we should think. And for real. Yeah, there should be a whole other music set because it's Farrell, Missy, I think, Timberland, too, like that. Bessie from VA, I don't know Mrs. Yeah, Bessie's from VA. Like, whatever's in the water, it's there,
Starting point is 01:20:04 and it's a spot in Alabama that birth, like Charles Barkley, Gucci, like, there's two spots that are Virginia and Alabama that have created, like, and Bessemer, Bo Jackson's from over there, too. Like, there's two spots in the country. It's in Virginia, it's in Alabama. If I were a GM, that's the only two places I'd draft. There was a TikTok that went viral. There was a TikTok that went viral of Alan Iverson.
Starting point is 01:20:28 Someone handed him a picture of him and Kobe to sign, and he had never seen the picture before. It was kind of crazy. He was like, you got another one? Yeah, he's like, he basically was like, can I have it? I would have been like, yeah, you're Alan Iverson. Yeah, Iverson's such a pure soul.
Starting point is 01:20:43 Like he doesn't quite understand how the world around him works because he's just been such a superstar for so long that he just. He don't know he, he don't know your icon like that. No, like, and he loves the love, but he, like, he's the only retired player who 100% of the time will give props before he shits on someone. One of my favorite, one of my favorite AI quotes of all time was when he was sitting around some table and it was like, they was talking about like, as LeBron better than Michael Jordan. He's like, did we forget about Kobe? Like, what the fuck are we taught? Like, that's Kobe.
Starting point is 01:21:18 Like, that was, that was my shit. Yeah, I everything. If you asked Iverson, his favorite. player of all time, he'd list 25 people. Probably, yeah. He has no idea you can pick one. Like, he's like, why would I pick just one? There are so many good players.
Starting point is 01:21:32 All right, Aaron. All right, my statue, I've got to go with my favorite brain of all time. Albert Einstein, man. He's got to have, I would replace the Statue of Liberty with Albert Einstein. All right. Fuck that bitch.
Starting point is 01:21:49 Same size? Same size. Yeah. Like a big eye sign? Big ass, Albert eyes. Fuck it. She ain't doing nothing.
Starting point is 01:21:58 That'd be insane. That'd be very funny. Would it be like a green Albert Einstein, though? You had to keep the same color scheme, right? No. Make a blue. It wasn't always green. It turned that way over the time.
Starting point is 01:22:11 It was like it was copper or something like that. Yeah. Oh, right. Yeah. The ocean did that. It looks nice green, though. It does. It's a strong, it's like that Tiffany green.
Starting point is 01:22:22 Hey, I mean, you just don't know anything else. There's other better colors. Fair enough. Sure. I think it just works for statues. It's me? Yes, sir. I don't imagine a golden one.
Starting point is 01:22:34 My third statue is just mate. I mean, if we're building statues, why would I not put one of myself? That's dumb. What would you be doing? Like, what would the statue, like, the pose be? I don't know. I didn't think that far ahead, but like I would... Shaking the Chick-fil-A guy's hands.
Starting point is 01:22:48 Like Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse in front of the Cinderella's Castle Yeah, I don't know It'd be me doing something I don't know If three statues Obviously you get three wishes One is more wishes
Starting point is 01:23:01 You get three statues One is of yourself That's a given Fair Every genie knows You can't get more wishes With your wishes Man that's that's standard
Starting point is 01:23:09 Genie protocol You have It's like being off the record Though you have to say it You got to make them say it though You got if they don't First one's more wishes I'm with you
Starting point is 01:23:17 A great point Yeah A lot of statues Have like accolades under What would you put as like one of... How many wishes would you wish for
Starting point is 01:23:24 if you have more wishes? Infinite. Infinite. Yeah. That's the only answer. You got your bases covered. You're set for life. But at what point do you just like,
Starting point is 01:23:33 I don't need or want any more shit? Like, you got 500. Is he counting them for me? Do I have to count the 500 wishes? Like infinite, you just don't think about it. I mean,
Starting point is 01:23:42 I mean, Tom Hanks kind of the days on the wall, but marking his shit. You know, you can count your wishes. You're, but you're always going to want to wish, Ari.
Starting point is 01:23:50 Like, Chick-filet runs. out of sauce. I wish I had Chick-fil-A sauce. Boom. That's a waste of a wish. Not in it. You just, I mean, you just lost. You can literally, you can literally fix the world's problems and then else, like, what would you want? You can use a wish and have just as many wishes as you had before.
Starting point is 01:24:08 True. Now some capitalist wish. Yep. G.S. Y'all's a genie capitalist. Yep. Unreal. It's greedy for sure, but I agree. You have to ask. If he's like, yeah, that works. No, you don't even ask. You just don't mention it. And unless he says it, you're in the clear. It's like, well, no, I'm saying that would be my first wish would be that.
Starting point is 01:24:27 And if he says no, it's like, all right, now I know I have to really focus on these three. Yeah, I feel like I would wish for all genie. I would wish for all genies to have some fine print on their lamp that says no more wishes than three wishes. A binding contract. Yeah, just to fuck you guys over. He wants socialism and his genies. That's fucked up. I want, I want communism in my genies.
Starting point is 01:24:50 even worse all right pfd had the entire cast of jackass kicking each other in the dicks that was his
Starting point is 01:24:58 and then an honorable mentioned dolly parton which he mentioned in our group chat I'm okay with that one actually yeah
Starting point is 01:25:04 yeah I thought that was one of his three or I would have made it one of my three she's pretty universally loved man
Starting point is 01:25:10 definitely helped help fund the COVID vaccine it's like you don't want to not talk about it I'd be trying She gave a million dollars.
Starting point is 01:25:23 He just mentioned a fact there. She did a good thing. She did a public good. Agreed. We almost went the whole episode again. I am pro-vacian for myself. Hey, man. All right.
Starting point is 01:25:39 Moving on. Do you guys remember during Halloween time when Lori Lightfoot dressed up as a Clorox bottle? So I want that to be the statue. I want that to be the statue. but like so people can beat it up like ruin the statue because she's just the wote she's on an all-time woot list
Starting point is 01:25:57 I got to send you this picture I got to send you this picture Lori I've never seen a single positive bit of news with lightfoot's name attached to it not one time yeah she's just awful she's going to be the Democratic nominee in 2024 oh I thought as someone oh I didn't just my guy Federman I don't know who that is
Starting point is 01:26:20 is the tall dude who dresses like Adam Sandler from Pennsylvania he's got a big bike I was talking about the Oh Lightfoot No
Starting point is 01:26:31 it's the mayor of Chicago One of one of Is that the black lady with the short hair? Yes One of the all-time wokes Yeah so people can ruin it So people could deface it Exclusively
Starting point is 01:26:44 I don't know enough about it man I wish I could comment I don't know if it better. If you do some research and find a single positive thing, send it this way. Because I never have. Won't take long. Not once. I got you.
Starting point is 01:26:58 All right, what you got, man, though. Betty White. I also think it should say on there that like what Avery said when you have the accolades under. I think it should say she was 100 years old. I think she gets that. I think she was close enough that she gets that here. That's fake news. That's fake news though.
Starting point is 01:27:15 But if you live that, if you live that long. And then you make it that far. If my grandma had wheels, she'd be a bike. That never gets old, big tea. That's right. I don't know, but I do think she deserves a statue. Maybe holding a dog. She was like a big, like, sorry, Aryan, but.
Starting point is 01:27:33 Yeah, why don't you put a little, she was a big animal. Rat on there? She was a big animal person. She had like seven dogs. Y'all love these little house rats. It's great. Look, that was a Betty White thing. I love my dog, but she, she was like really into the ASPCA.
Starting point is 01:27:47 She was a big animal person. So maybe like, or maybe like petting a, like a, I don't know. It's another animal. Like a petting a fox maybe? I don't know. I also got to send this other picture of Lori Lightfoot. So she posted recently, I think it was like last week or whatever that they were offering $100 to get the Vax or whatever.
Starting point is 01:28:05 And she was standing next to like a pile of money, but the money was spelled out and get, get the Vax. So people obviously had some fun with it. People say she looks like the Riddler. So here, I'm going to send this one. This one's great. it says get the bat and money she is
Starting point is 01:28:24 the memes are great get the bat as comedy yeah she very much looks like a villain she also wears like very ill fitting yeah she wears like very baggy clothing too and what's the
Starting point is 01:28:36 what's the draft class where they were all wearing baggy clothing in the NBA 2003 yeah there's a picture of her in that draft class I'll send that one to if I was thinking about that recently LeBron showing up in the white suit for his draft was such a power move.
Starting point is 01:28:53 The whole draft class had some fucking parachutes on. That's wild. Was that also Kirk Heinrich? Yeah. Was he in that one? Yeah. Oh, yeah, his suit's baggy. It was a style back there, no. Yeah, that was. I had a baggie suit. I had a baggie suit for sure.
Starting point is 01:29:13 That was in, 03, I was in, I was in high school. So like two years later, I had a baggy suit. Yeah, what did you wear it of the draft? I didn't get drafted. Really? Nope. I actually didn't know that. He's mentioned it a dozen times.
Starting point is 01:29:30 I didn't know. It's all one of the best things that ever happened to me. Aaron got drafted once. It was in a movie. In a film. Actually, did go in the first round, actually. Yeah. The Cleveland Browns traded back to get them.
Starting point is 01:29:43 Hell yeah. Go Browns. Go Browns, Aaron. They came in. and got me. You feel me? It came and got me. That was one of my favorite life moments because I got a chance to sit on set
Starting point is 01:29:53 with Kevin Kostner and we just sitting there, you know, it takes forever to do, like, lighting and cameras and shit. So we just sitting there and we just chopping it up. And I said, man, I got to tell you, dog, I grew up watching dances with wolves so fucking much because my mom loves that movie, though. I'm telling her, she loves dances with wolves. And so I'm sitting here telling him that he goes, oh, man, I'm so sorry. That's just a dope moment for me about it.
Starting point is 01:30:16 he seems really cool is he cool he was cool as shit to me like i mean i don't know him but like he was cool as shit did you have to go to cleveland for that movie yeah oh yeah did you have to go to baria you have to go to the like brown's training facility yeah no no where what did we film i don't think it was in the actual it might have been in the stadium we had this uh scene i don't even know if it made it in the movie we haven't watched it but uh we're like they're like yelling like we're like in the draft party no no right before we go to the on the field it's like me and chat with bozeman and we're like hyping the team up around us and everybody's dressed in brown uniform yeah that's not oh yeah yeah it's the very last scene oh is it the very last scene yeah yeah haven't watched the movie
Starting point is 01:31:03 that you're in no it's such a funny movie yeah i do think it's so funny i do vaguely recall that now okay so we that's one of my i went to it i went to the preview but i don't think i stayed um And that's weird It's kind of I don't know It's kind of I guess You've got like seven minutes
Starting point is 01:31:22 of screen time You're barely in it It's very Hold on girl Don't discredit I'm not saying that I'm saying like if you were Brother
Starting point is 01:31:28 If you were the main I'm saying If you were the main character I definitely would I definitely would have watched it then I definitely would have watched it That's what I mean But like you
Starting point is 01:31:36 You show up at the beginning You're a troubled youth Who got to a fight And almost broke your hand And then you turned You should have to say It's your friend your father and you go I just want to be a brown the first person to ever say that
Starting point is 01:31:51 then you get drafted you're elated uh which is true acting because you never really got that call which again not a shot but you did actually have to act there it's back there i mean the whole boy and you crushed it you crushed it you know one of our i appreciate it i appreciate it one of our because you guys went to the actual draft to walk the red carpet right yeah Radio City Hall, we was there, yeah. Yeah. One of our co-workers, Jeff D. Lowe, was running the red carpet. So he had to help you get down the red carpet and, like, tell people like, this, what was your character's name again?
Starting point is 01:32:27 I can't remember. Vante. No, that was. No, that was. No, that was Vante Mac, no matter what. Ray Jennings. Ray Jennings. Ray Jennings.
Starting point is 01:32:38 So he had to, like, he was like the PA. So we had to turn to the crowd. They would have, like, the actual draft picks for that year. walk down and everyone would cheer and then they'd have to be like, all right, we got Ray Jennings from Florida State coming and everyone was like,
Starting point is 01:32:51 what? And then the couple was like, that's Aryan fall. I had a couple of those. That's true because you were the only only football player there. That was my peak. That was my peak.
Starting point is 01:33:03 Like I was like perennial pro bowler by then. They're like, why is he here? Is there a new rule? It's like drafted, bro. This is weird. Did you think?
Starting point is 01:33:13 I love that fucking movie. I, I love it like unironically. I love that movie. Me too. Not every movie has to be an Oscar winner. I wrote a blog about this. It's a good movie. It's a good movie.
Starting point is 01:33:23 It's just they definitely make it seem like, I mean, they traded three consecutive years of second round picks. Bad move. Like that's, they still lost that. Hang on. That's good, though. We were talking about this yesterday. For them, yes, it was a bad move. But like, we were talking about the bucks.
Starting point is 01:33:44 The bucks should trade as many first round picks for Aaron Rogers as Green Bay wants. If they want seven, give it to them. Who cares? I thought you could only trade. I think three is the max. I think you can only trade three. Okay, then give them three seconds. Like literally, if you're a team and you can like get Aaron Rogers, what do the picks matter?
Starting point is 01:34:02 Well, the bucks are an interesting point right now because I don't think they have a ton of cap space and they have none of the rest of their offense signs. So I don't know. I get your point. But I think it would have to be a more ready made team. But for the Browns in this movie, they take... Yes, it was a bad... Chadwick Boseman was...
Starting point is 01:34:18 He was 39 in real life when he played a 21-year-old's short outside linebacker. But you know what pissed me off about that, dog? This will piss me out. Let me tell you what pissed me off about that. I go... Ivan Redmond, the director comes up to me. He was like, hey, man, we got to shave your beard. And I'm like, what?
Starting point is 01:34:38 I was like, I'm not... I can't do it. He's like, man, no, man. He's like, but we just, you know, we want to give you that youthful look. And I'm looking at Chadwick, like, this thing is really 39, dog. And I'm, at the time, I'm, what, 25, 26? Something like that. Yeah, I'm like, 25, 26, bro.
Starting point is 01:34:53 Like, in real life. And I'm like, this really just happened. And you remember, I got to say my bitch to look. I was like, look, Ivan, man. But I did it because, like, I was going method and I was trying to be, you know. I was like, Chadwick wasn't as well, like, he was well known, but he wasn't what he became. No, he was. I have like we exchanged numbers I don't think I don't think he would exchange my numbers if I met him in another place in his career no no I mean he that movie yeah when I found out he was that old in that movie and he's playing like a 21 year old prospect very funny yeah I mean he does he looks young but I'm saying he does you're gonna tell me my beard had me looking in my 30s when chabick was and I'm like whatever man so the Browns took like the fourth rated prospect first overall
Starting point is 01:35:41 and then they traded three second rounders for a running back I think fifth overall like it was a celebrated draft they got two good players it looks like but just terrible drafting overall like that GM would still get fired didn't look didn't look too good on other than on paper that's for sure
Starting point is 01:36:00 you got a kick returner too David Putney just because he felt like it yeah yeah it's got fucking can what a movie yeah we've that I'm moving back After everyone else, run it back.
Starting point is 01:36:12 After everyone else watch his Ready Player 1, we need to, maybe in preparation for the NFL draft, we'll watch Draft Day. Look at that. Take me back, baby. Killing it. We should do like a live watch along, like on Zoom or something. Yeah, we can. I'm with it.
Starting point is 01:36:32 That would be fun. That would be fun. I did. We did it for mixtape because Tyler had never seen it and he could not believe what he was watching. He don't like running backs. I was on his podcast. no he does i was on the pocket tearing his ass up for that whack-ass tape it's just a bad
Starting point is 01:36:47 take it's bad take i'll tell you what me and him didn't fully ever see eye on it but i's kind to see his he has he has he has a bunch of he hates running backs they should never be he wouldn't pay him i he wouldn't he wouldn't pay him a compliment let alone a contract no no would he's all good with paying tight ends overpaying for quarterbacks i guess would you agree with this i if like if you're not going back like Derek Henry, obviously you pay them like pretty much whatever it takes because that's yeah. But as positions go, running back is the most expendable position on the field. I see, and that's just a bad argument. It's not that it's expendable. It's just that the lifespan
Starting point is 01:37:28 is sure. It's not replaceable. So you don't, you don't, you don't replace Derek Henry, right? Correct. You don't, you don't place the production a top tier running back can give you. You don't pay money for bottom tier quarterbacks or running backs. You pay them top tier running backs. That's why you pay them because you can't replace that production. Right, but how many of those guys are there? You don't pay? They don't get paid. I mean, go look at how many running backs that's really gotten paid. There's really just a handful of them. Like, in my generation, myself, Ray Rice, Jamal Charles, Marshall & Lynch, Adrian Peterson, Chris Johnson. There's just like a handful of guys that really got paid. But it's because you couldn't
Starting point is 01:38:09 replace that production right i mean i do like every time people say you can replace any like any running back you should always post the trent richardson screenshot like that's all you should post him not being able to run through massive me and big t-sized holes like there running backs get get this they're marketed as it's everything's replaceable but it's like any position is replaceable right So when Tom Brady gets hurt and Matt Castle comes in and they go 11 and 5, was that replaceable? Like, nah, there's a lot of different factors. A lot of things go in. We lost five more games than we did the year previous.
Starting point is 01:38:51 But that's 11 and 5 is a top tier record. I'm saying it's a top tier record. But what I'm saying is running backs get marketed like that, right? And it's a lot of the media. Like when you have a quality running back that is good in past protection, good and catching, that you can't replace that production and that's why they get paid and they will continue to get paid
Starting point is 01:39:11 regardless of the dogma. My question would be how many running backs and I'm more on your side than the other side but I'm curious how many running backs do you think would still be elite outside of offensive line production? You know what I mean? Like how many, if you could remove that from the equation,
Starting point is 01:39:32 how many guys are truly elite like that? if you can substitute uh quarterbacks with line or receiver with with running back like you could you can make the argument with anybody sure i don't disagree but i like i do you guys like does my point even make sense i guess or question even makes sense no um like if you give saquan barkley uh a cowboy's offensive line he's exponentially better but that doesn't devalue what he can do for your team, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:08 And that's, and that's also why, like, one of the, one of the most overrated stats of all time is yards per carry. Yards per carry is such a stupid fucking stat because there's so many factors that go into it, like, where are you at in the game, you know, short yards versus, you know, there's just so many factors in the game that it's just, it's a relative understanding of how productive it is, but it's not, it's not like a tell-tale sign. But it's just like if you don't, if you have a shitty line and, and you have a great
Starting point is 01:40:33 quarterback ain't going to be that good if you have a great receiver and a shitty quarterback it's not going to be that good he can still be good but he's not going to be as good as he could be you know what I mean so it's just a bad it's just a bad argument that that literally and the reason why I buck so hard against is because literally that's what they try to use well no but they they try to use that negotiation taxes to not pay and it's and it's ridiculous because you'll carry it 300 times a year fuck your body it but you're going to tell me that it's replaced Does that not seem like why, why would they need to do that in negotiations when like if they didn't want to pay you, they just wouldn't do it? No, it's a negotiation because they don't want to lose you.
Starting point is 01:41:14 They know you're valuable. That's why they want to, they want to pay you, but not as much as you want to be paid. That's why. So like my contract negotiation was hilarious. Like, because I had, I led the League of Russia and the next year I was another, I had another all pro season. And so we went to the negotiation table. And their first offer was $16 million. over four years and we were like what the fuck like you're insane and so like we ended up going
Starting point is 01:41:39 for 40 but like that's where they started but that's those are the arguments that they used well you what about this and what about this and and they used stupid fucking arguments like running backs are expendable like we're like okay if we're expendable let us walk then at any point were you like you're the Houston Texans I'm the only one selling new jerseys not we didn't use that one that's what I would have said repeatedly like did you ever like So did you get to free agency or did you sign an extension before? What signed an extension?
Starting point is 01:42:08 Did you ever want to go be a free agent? I loved the city of Houston. That I sound like I'm still there. At the time, like I loved the city. I loved the team. I really felt like we could win a championship. So I wanted to stay. But I was definitely willing to walk up.
Starting point is 01:42:25 They were going to give me that weak-ass offer. Who else was when you signed with Miami? Who else was looking at you? there was a few other than New York Jets but at the time I was I had I had just came off Achilles there was like there was only like two or three teams that were really looking at me yeah Achilles
Starting point is 01:42:46 would you have rather any other injury no actually it's not that I didn't bounce back I didn't matter of fact my Achilles that I tore is actually stronger than my left one it's better it's which I feels it feels way better the Achilles like tear it's just not what it used to be like it's very fixable like and literally
Starting point is 01:43:08 I was back in like eight months I was back in like eight months seven months really and so that's not what it was that's not what hindered me just mentally yeah I was checked out mentally and a whole bunch of other reasons but that's a long ass macro micro doses
Starting point is 01:43:21 I was gonna say are you all aware that we are 10 minutes away from going two hours yeah we're stretching it I will say though it's so cool that you're at one undrafted that I must have glanced over it I must have glanced over it because I don't ever remember hearing it
Starting point is 01:43:36 but that's unbelievable. And I looked it up. Top 20, top 25, all-time NFLers that went undrafted. You're in there. The reason why it's so dope that I went to draft it is because when you get undrafted, if you get drafted, they sign you to an automatic four-year deal. That's great.
Starting point is 01:43:55 So when you're undrafted, it's only a two-year deal. And so my first year, I was just a rookie and I didn't play a whole lot. Second year, I led the league in Russian. And so my deal is up. The next year, they tagged me, right? And then the next year, I'm up. So three years after I was done,
Starting point is 01:44:10 I had led the league of Russian. I was one of the best running backs in league. They had to pay me. So, like, but if they didn't, I would have had to play another year under that roof. Yeah, you're going to have fucked. You're an absolutely fucked. Yeah, so you think you would have got way less money is what you're saying.
Starting point is 01:44:21 Well, there's no talent. Well, how it played out was I had it. 2012 was another plowbo year. So I would have had another proverbs, so they would have had to pay me any. Anyway, but the odds of that happening are just really low. So I would rather Andy up early than... Andrew would have been a year older, like they would have...
Starting point is 01:44:38 Yeah, it worked out. It worked out per... Like, I mean... Were there incentives? I don't more people do that. Everyone should just do that. So everybody should just back on drafted. Were there incentives for going undrafted and then becoming like what you became, obviously?
Starting point is 01:44:53 Interesting story. That's why I don't fuck with the NFLPA. All right? So there are, right? So you, there's something they have player performance bonuses. Right. And so my rookie year, we were still under the old NFLPA. And so I think I had two games.
Starting point is 01:45:07 The end of the last two games I started, I had like 100 yards or two touchdowns, and we beat the Patriots and we beat the dolphins. And I played really well, right? Just because of those two games, I had an $80,000 check that got set to me for player performance because I was undrafted and I played high, right? I've played out a high level. The next year was the, they were not under the NFLPA, CBA. And so I led the league in Russian, but they didn't have player performances built in to that contract.
Starting point is 01:45:44 So I would have maybe made a million dollars, dog. Because I led the league in Russian, like, led the league in touchdowns, like first team all pro, all that shit. And I got no player performance for nothing. And I was like, yo, fuck y'all. Fuck your dude. Kiss my ass. Matter of fact, y'all still owe me that money. my eyes.
Starting point is 01:46:01 Aryan Foster, anti-union. Anti-Napel players union. Yo, when shit is shady, shit is shady, family. That anti-union. Did you think you were going to get drafted? Oh, I was going to get drafted. I absolutely dropped the ball on that, and I'm so glad I did. Well, this is another long story.
Starting point is 01:46:20 So my junior year, I was supposed to come out, and I was slotted to come going to second round, if I would have left my junior year. I decided to stay a bunch of stupid reasons decided to stay that's why ended up coming back I'm telling you there's just no point the ended up this is controversial but the coaches just like stop playing me
Starting point is 01:46:44 for they got their reasons man I just I literally had no carries like we played Georgia my senior year I had three carries my senior year and we played a rival right it was just like it was just mad while it was all kind of culture friction and they I just didn't play that much. Anyway, a whole bunch of things happened in the offseason after my senior year. I told you, I told you that the senior bowl story about Pat White.
Starting point is 01:47:11 That told you that story. You ran a 5-240. I had pulled my hamstring, ran a 4-7, you know what I'm saying? And that to this day, I hate that shit too. People were like, hey, if I was to ran a 4-7, you don't got to be fast. Like, fuck, bro, I did not run a 4-7, though. But, yeah, I thought. I definitely thought I was going to be drafted.
Starting point is 01:47:29 And even then, I got a call. I don't know if I ever told you all this. I got a call from the Seattle Seahawks in the seventh round. Matter of fact, I got a call from New York Jets in the third. They say, we're either going to take you or Sean Green. They ended up taking Sean Green. Throat they took Sean Green. Yeah, they were happy about it.
Starting point is 01:47:47 And then I got a call. I'm still happy about it. Facts right. Me too. No state taxes in Texas. But I got a call from Seattle in the seventh round. and they said, hey, man, we're thinking of taking you with our next pick. But what do you think about that?
Starting point is 01:48:04 And the rap on me, I didn't know at the time, but the rap on me was I was uncoachable and I was an asshole. Like that was that was the rap on me, right? Which was all bullshit. Like, it's a whole other conversation, but it was all bullshit. But at the, at the time, no, I was a nice person. No, no, no. At the time, I was so pissed off, though, from not getting drafted.
Starting point is 01:48:23 I'm in the seventh round, like my family's in the hotel with me. I'm like, I mean, that's what's up. You know, that'd be cool. I told Seattle Seahawks that. And they was like, okay, thank you. And they didn't take me. Thank God. But.
Starting point is 01:48:36 Yeah, at that point, I mean, like, I've heard a lot of players say that once you get to the sixth or seventh round, they're like, I'd rather just go undrafted and get to pick. Yeah. Because you locked in that four, you'd do. Yeah. And you can pick where some people can pick where they want to go. Mm-hmm. That's funny.
Starting point is 01:48:52 Fuck you, Pete Carroll. Yeah. No, that's the homie. Pick care of the homie. Take care of the homie. I appreciate you, man. I'm telling you I got about that two-year deal real quick, player. I'm appreciative.
