Hey, macrodosing listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.

Include that, Matt Dog, that little comment from Big T.
We should, wait, are you saying, Big T, that we should, we should have taken over the studio that KFC Radio, the longest running podcast at Barstool Sports has?
Are you saying that macrodosing?
I'd say that's the best studio to have.
Macrodosing should have invaded P&T.
Oh.
Well, yeah, I mean, we didn't
Who would have ever known
that just because you build your studio
with windows
and active construction going on outside
that that would make it noisy?
There was no way to be prepared for this.
We were all caught off guard.
Welcome back to macrodosing.
We were joined by Commissioner Jeff D. Lowe
of the dozen.
Correct.
How would you like to be introduced
from now on, Jeff?
Would you like to be introduced
as Commissioner Jeff D. Lowe from the D.
Doe Lowe from Lights Camera podcast?
would you like to be lights camera bar stool
Jeffty Lowe from Good Morning America
Jeffty Lowe
The T Lizard Man
Two-time Emmy winner
Oh of course
Yeah
Of course
It's whatever you
What pleases you the most
Maybe not the dozen
That's bad memories for you currently
Well now it is
Because you went there
Sorry
Two-time Emmy Award winner
Jeff D. Lowe
You and David Blatman
Really the shining stars
Of the seven combined Emmys
That's incredible
Yeah
What are you used for?
The best morning show, best morning show.
Good morning America.
I had really nothing to do with either of the Emmys.
So how many people got those?
The whole staff.
So hundreds.
Hundreds of people.
That makes the Emmy 5% less valuable.
Emmys in general are the worst of the big four awards.
I'd say Grammys are.
No, no, no.
No, I think Grammys are worse.
You got to know what you can,
but you got to know what you can win a Grammy for though.
Yeah.
You can win a Grammy for a spoken word album.
Yeah, but it's got to be fire words.
I think Grammy's the worst.
But aren't there like seven Emmys also?
I think the daytime Emmys, sports Emmys.
They have anybody a sports Emmy.
Hot take, I think Sports Emmy, not who cares.
No, it's not a real award.
I got snubbed.
Sports Emmy?
Spie.
I got an SP.
I got snubbed.
What was your category?
Best New Athlete.
It was the year I led the League of Russian.
and they gave it to Blake Griffin.
Wow, that's tough.
So that was like Lob City.
He's my friend.
He's an average.
He's the average that season.
Did you see who the SB nominees are this year?
I let the whole league.
And also like Blake Griffin, he was probably rookie of the year when he got that, right?
Like he was a he was first overall.
No, but I'm saying wasn't he the first overall pick in the NBA draft?
So like it's not like he was a new athlete.
You were dog shit in college.
And then you had a.
breakout year, you were truly the best new athlete.
I would probably slap you.
The hardest, the best of the four is the Oscar.
It's the hardest one to win.
Because if you win, if you win, no, if you win Best Picture and you have four producers,
only three of those producers get, get the Oscar.
I like that.
Yeah, like, it's, it's kind of fucked.
Like, what do you mean you like that?
It's good.
It's exclusive.
It makes the club, because if everybody worked on a project, bro, why won't I get the
A, too. Well, then you should have
done, you should have had your name higher up on
the credits. I'm
actually, I have to go back to the fact that big T
implied he opened up the SB nominations yesterday.
That's surprising to me.
Yeah, wow. Well, it was, it went viral.
Did you see who the... It went viral.
The SB nominally did it? This one did.
Yes. The best
MLB player. Did you see who the nominees are? Oh, wait, can we guess?
Yeah. Best MLB player.
For, I think it's
last year and kind of
this year? I don't know. Knowing ESPN,
they probably put a New York Yankee on there
that definitely did not deserve to be
nominated. So I'm going to guess like Aaron Judge.
So Judge, Judge, it implies it's this year
and left. That's weird. I think so, which
makes the fourth nominee that I'm
going to tell you even more shocking.
Trevor Bauer. So
it was Judge. The other two
make complete sense. Showing Taney.
Yeah. And Bryce Harper,
both of whom won MVP awards this year.
The fourth one was Jorge Salé.
who hit 223 last year and I mean he had he had the one moment and one World Series MVP which was
they really value homers in the World Series yeah but but he's uh he's the fourth one and he should win
it in my I think he's like it's also like a ratings thing like he or a viral moment thing I do think
they knew when they sent out that email that it would get tweeted out yes is he like the San
where people are just like voting for him as a prank I mean again he did win World Series MVP but yeah
He did not have a season.
I bet that it's probably
commensurate with those other three.
It's the World Series MVP.
It's the AL, the NL, MVP, and then Aaron Judge.
Who's hosting this year?
Oh, wait, let me guess.
I didn't know what was happening last year.
Okay, there's probably one of three possibilities for this.
The Rock.
Rob Riggle, he's probably number one.
Yeah, it's probably, yeah.
It's actually just Rob Riggle.
I'm sure about that.
I'm not even going to make two backup guesses.
Although if I did, I would say Joel McHale.
That's another good guess.
And then the third guy that hosts things,
I'm going to say Joey Fatone
Joey Fatone isn't big enough for Aspies
I see all the nominees I don't see
There is a former sitcom host who hosted one time
A sitcom star who hosted one time
From a 90s and 2000s sitcom
Nope
He did
Well I know but that's not who I'm
I just named a 1990 sitcom star
That hosted the ESPB
Like big star part of the biggest sitcoms ever
Nor MacDonald is one of the
Bob Saget
Nope good guess
Better guess
Tim Allen
No also a good guess
Thank you.
It's a weird one.
Carl Winslow.
So I'm thinking of a big star.
Also bigger show of on PFD.
No.
I don't know if he was on a sitcom.
Samuel Jackson hosted a bunch.
Yeah.
The asspeas?
So who's this mystery host that you're thinking?
Matthew Perry.
Did he?
He took his pants off on the stage.
I don't know why I remember that.
I was thinking Timberlake.
Jimberlake hosted one time.
He was good.
He sang a love song to Candace Parker.
Love that.
What a guy?
Candice Parker played for your favorite coach.
Pat Summit
Pat Summit
Yeah for the Aryan
You're a Pat Summit
Fan right
Great woman in sports
Led one of the most influential figures
In the history of women's sports
You're looking at two of the biggest
Pat Summit haters
In the world
Wait
Haven't you
You don't have an excuse
Because I'm a Yukon fan
No I'm shocked
That Big T just called me a Pat
Summit hater
You've joined in on this
What are you?
Big T
PFT literally said
The other day
that he's a Title IX, like, fanatic.
I have never said a bad word about Pat Summit.
I think you've joined in on this little bit that these guys have running around the office.
Well, isn't that just like a lib to just, like, paint everybody with a broad brush?
Actually, you'd be the third biggest Pat Summit hitter.
Jack Mack is too, but you've led this crusade.
But see, aside from the people who are in it, why do we hate Pat Simon?
That's a great question, Aaron.
And why don't I let Jeff?
P.F, I'm a UConF fan.
That covers it all up.
But you, I'm a Gino guy.
All right, that makes sense.
PFT though
PFT is no
wearing a Tennessee
shirt and a hat
why do you hate Pets something
No no no no no I love Pat Sommett
Oh
He's calling the other two out
PFT is I have no idea
I can't I can't
Yeah you can't see Jeff
What the fuck
PFT though you have no excuse
I'm a Gino guy
What are you talking about
I do not hate Pats Summit
I'm so confused
You joined in on this
I've been in on this
I don't think I've been in the office
when there's been like a dog pot
on Pat Summage.
How many dog piles?
She's dead.
She's so well respected.
Everybody loves her.
So you would think, right?
Yeah.
No, not in this office.
These guys.
Shout out the patch out the Tyler.
I mean, I understand you're not liking her.
I understand you're not liking her for the Yukon shit.
Yeah.
But I mean, what evidence do you have that PFT is not a patch thing?
There's just zero.
At points joining him with Jeff and Jack Mack on their little.
You know what Big T's doing?
Big T's doing.
You're like the people on the internet that call you a,
Nazi because you're conservative. That's what you're doing to me because I'm so likely to say
that a great person is overrated or be a hater and a troll. You think that I'm a hater of Pat
Summit too, even though there's no evidence. For shame, Big T. You're suspended. Pretty vividly
recall. Oh, I'm commissioner. You can't suspend me, motherfucker. Can I appeal your suspension?
To you? I haven't suspended you. Yes, you can submit to my office a request for suspension.
it will then be reviewed
and we'll see what happens from there
can we
can we do something about this construction
what do you want me do you want me to go punch them all
you know how long they're going to be doing that right
it sounds like for the next seven years
months sounds like that Howard's turn
like well okay she's going to come in ride the Sibian
should we get
like all business Pete in here and
like her something's always going outside that window
what the fuck
oh you're one of those
neighbors. It's so goddamn loud here. It's actively. I can't hear it for if that's any that's any
consolation. I can't I can't hear it. Um, so Aaron, uh, we talked about this a little bit before we got
started here before you joined the call, but, um, I fucked up big time. I, uh, I forgot my soup at my
house and it's a cream base soup. It's a Poblano soup, cream of Poblano. And I've been looking
forward to it for about 12 hours now. I got it for dinner.
last night. Sometimes I like to let my soup sit out a little bit longer, or not sit out,
but I like to save the soup to eat it later because it gets better tasting the longer. It's like
in the fridge. All the flavors get better. And so I was going to bring it in for my lunch today.
I took it out of the fridge this morning, put it by my bed, was getting ready, and I just forgot
a giant bowl of soup in my apartment. And I'm not going to be home for a long time. And so
I'm just going to have this cream-based soup just getting rancid in my apartment.
for for weeks now for like a week week and a half and i know he's suspended from the show but i also
remember it's funny the first thing i remembered was that i forgot my soup and then like 30 minutes
later i remembered i forgot also my suitcase that has all my clothes in it that i'm going to be
taking with me uh i'm going to a wedding in jamaica and i don't have that bag with me i know billy
suspended, I'm considering asking him to go to my apartment to retrieve my soup and my suitcase
and bring it back. Do you think it would be appropriate to have him just step into the studio?
I want to ask you, because you're part of this as well, can we get ability to step into the
studio so I can ask him to do that? And he won't speak into the microphone, but if the microphone
picks up his voice in the background, is that okay with you?
That was the longest explanation
if you want Billy back on the pod.
Sure, man.
Okay.
But he's not back on the pod.
He's not back on the pod.
No.
So why are we putting in the studio?
Because I need to ask him to retrieve my soup.
You don't got a phone?
I want to do it face to face
because I have to give specific instructions to him.
That's what I'm saying.
Don't ask me for permission to put your man's back on the pod.
Do it.
You also have an ask the commissioner.
Big T.
Permission?
I think it would be funny.
if he stood right there
and you told him
what he needs to do, yes.
Okay.
But he can't talk into a mic.
Can't, cannot speak into Mike.
Okay.
He shouldn't be able to speak, period.
Yeah.
Yeah, he can do,
what if he doesn't speak?
He just nods his head.
I mean, you're asking him yes.
And you're not even asking him.
You're telling him he has to go get your shit in the apartment.
Yeah.
Can't talk.
Can't talk.
He just has to receive him.
It requires no reply from him.
Yeah.
Okay.
We'll do that.
He'll be temporarily unbanned from the studio.
But he won't,
he still won't be on the pod.
before I leave to go to the shore I'm cleaning up my apartment so I'm having a lady come by to take care of that today and I'm hoping that Billy goes to my apartment sees her they fall in love real quick have a trist have a baby she can't get an abortion that baby becomes president and that president destroys the world in a nuclear war all because I forgot my soup
how cool would that be
I mean you'd have to you'd have to give it up for
for destiny at that point right
no
it's important to note that's not how
that works
in regards to she can't get an abortion
but that would be funny
I was looking for big T's comments on that one
okay hang on real quick
I'm FaceTiming Billy
he can't speak though
oh yeah yeah can we bleep him out
yes
Billy where are you doing
I'm buying a brace
You're buying a brace
Yeah I fucked up my ankle
Oh wow
Where are you? How'd you wait how did you fuck up your ankle
Playing basketball
Oh
I'm sorry
So
You're in you're in Hoboken right now right
Yeah I'm about to hop on the pad
Okay
Get off at my stop
I have a lockbox outside my apartment
Okay
And I'm going to text you the code
To the lockbox
and I'll text you, like, what it is, like, what to look for.
So take the key out and then go up to my apartment.
My soup is on my bedside table, so it's right next to my bed in my bedroom.
And then also, this is very important, probably the most important part, Paul in love.
I have a suitcase, that tiny, you know, that tiny bitch little red suitcase that I bring for weekend stuff?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's in the living room somewhere on the floor.
Okay.
And it's going to be really messy because I just threw basically all my clothes in the living room floor while I was getting packed up.
But get that suitcase too.
And then it's important that you put the key back in the lockbox because I've got a cleaning person coming by.
But if she's in the apartment, feel free to fall in love with her and have a baby and have that baby one day become president.
And then that president destroys the world of nuclear war.
That that that's Arnold Schwarzenegger's story.
Yeah.
So do that.
also yeah that's the third assignment for you and then head up to my place and if if the key is not in the lockbox that means that the cleaning lady is there right now so you so so then just buzz up to my apartment and try to go up there just scare the shit on over could you send just send me your address the code and everything yeah make sure it gets dark okay okay cool thanks billy i'm obering by the way from your apartment because i can't
fucking walk.
Okay, is that,
is that your way of asking
if you can expense
your way to work this morning?
No.
It kind of was.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
It kind of was.
All right.
Thank you, Billy.
I'll text you the details.
My ankles is big as softball.
Okay.
All right.
Bye.
It's crazy how much I know, Billy.
If he gets to expense that Uber,
I'll be expensing my last,
my last couple Uber's to the office as well.
You guys can do whatever you want.
You can expense your Uber's like.
After 8 p.m.
Yeah.
Home, yeah.
Just noting.
that using this for evidence i as commissioner i am revoking my uh moratorium on him speaking that
can stay in can i say something that i'm embarrassed about speaking in the subway um this morning
i was getting off the subway and i was about 15 feet behind pft and i was too nervous to go up to him and
say hi really i was like he's probably doing something wait i got nervous wait so
our stop here at the office
you were 15 feet behind me
yeah I just kind of slow walked
I wouldn't have said hi I saw well you know it's crazy
did you see me that's kind of
I saw Big T and I got scared and didn't go up to Big T
I wouldn't I see Big T all the time and I too
I'm too nervous to say hi to you guys like so
Big T was like 30 feet in front of me and I was like oh
oh my God we all got I got let him go first and then you're
behind me really but see the thing is so then if you say
hi in the subway station you've got up the stairs
then you've got into the office then you're standing in the
elevator it's there's too much conversation that's that's also like i don't really give a shit because
i like being here but some people probably don't and that's people's last steps before they have to go
into work i don't want to bother them i don't know what moment they're in i don't know if they're
listening to something that's right that's their last moments of clarity before they have to
work y'all y'all aren't accountants i know i would agree that's why i don't care
but like numbers and like i don't want to go to lunch with that person i have to see them all
i didn't see someone today though on office i got walked in the office i got walked in the office
and I got pulled in and I played video games
I did see someone from our third floor today
who does work on the business team though
and they had headphones in I almost said
I was like I'm just gonna leave him alone
Well like this happens
Gooch and I get on at the same subway station
Shut up Gooch
So like this happens all the time
I see him in the morning and like
I'm like because that's even
Now you've got five six stops to the office
And now like you know
That's a long way to
It's like it's the morning
You're both tired
Do you really want to talk for that long?
I see I see Big T all the time on this subway
And I'm just I just I'm like
He probably doesn't want to chit chat right now
And then you were on your phone PFT
And I was like he's probably tweeting
I just got nervous and I didn't say anything
Listen listen listen young ones
Life is short man
You don't got to go have a full blown conversation
About the current advantage because of hey what's going on
Good morning man
You know you never know when you're going to see anybody
I almost went up and tapped you on your shoulder
But I was like that would scare
We're such bitches all of us
Yeah but now next time someone comes up PFTs
He's going to be like, hey, how about those Supreme Court rulings today?
He is going to drop in.
It was, in the morning sometimes also you don't want to get in the conversation.
Then you walk up that big staircase and then at the top of the staircase, you're like, bless you.
Excuse me.
You're both like winded.
You're both like exhausted.
And then you have like that weird moment in the conversation where you're both catching your breath at the same time.
You're like, neither one of us should be tired from this.
No.
Well, and we, so we're recording early right now because of schedule stuff.
So it's way, yeah, it's way earlier than any of us like, or not way earlier, but we're usually not recording this early.
So I don't really know what everyone's vibe is this early in the morning.
It feels like in school when like toward the end of the year that they just like flip the schedule for whatever reason and you'd be like your body would be.
You're in math in the morning and usually and you're in after lunch.
Yeah, that's what it feels.
Yo, P.F.T, do you have a onesie on a fan?
I'm not wearing a onesie. It's, it's balls beachwear. So it's a matching Hawaiian shirt and then Hawaiian shorts.
I can't see the different.
It just looks like a onesie.
So what if it was?
Would you have an issue with that?
A rompil?
Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't have a romp.
Yeah, a romper.
I wouldn't have an issue.
I would definitely make fun of you, though, for sure.
Well, it's not a onesie.
But I am going to Jamaica.
I don't know if I mentioned that yet.
So that's why I'm wearing this.
I'm an island boy.
Getting tropical early.
Island boy.
So on today's macrosing, we do have Jeffty low.
And, Arian, I'm not sure if you've, have you met Jeff Lowe?
We've met formally.
We chat in the office, but I don't think we formally met.
We'll consider this your formal introduction.
Aaron, this is Jeff D. Lowe.
Your future commissioner.
He is the commissioner of the dozen, the trivia league, which macrodosing is going to have a team in that next year, right?
I'm saying I'm supposed to be on.
What's heading it?
It doesn't start until the fall.
Yeah, fall.
Oh, okay.
Very excited for that team.
I mean, is it the three of us?
Is that confirmed?
Is that what it is?
Is that, I mean, I think it sounds like it's a big T to seem bad.
That's what I've been told.
Big T is commissioner.
It's been the, I've been told three.
I think that's, that's the plan, yes.
I'm so excited.
Big T.
It's going to be fun.
Mad Dog and Eric.
Will you want to debut against PFT's team?
No.
Why?
Because I'm scared.
Whoa, that.
See, I don't want that on my team now.
I don't like that.
I'm not afraid to talk to BFT.
No, you guys, okay, I'm a big, Jeff.
I am a huge dozen fan.
And the experts are my friends.
favorite team. I don't want to go and be like
go against my heroes right away. I don't
I don't like that. I don't like that.
Also, like my favorite team,
bro, we're about to beat their heads.
Aaron, were you like, were you afraid to go up
against like Ray Lewis when you got to the NFL?
Nah, you got to see me on that
fucking field, dog. Okay, that's what I want.
Okay, P&T,
fuck you, it's on. Okay, good.
I like that. And when you go up to him
in the subway tomorrow, or not the moment,
push him over.
like kick the back of his foot
she comes in like I push him on the tracks
yeah
and I don't kill him
he's dead
what would you say your trivia
specialty is
uh
knowing shit
yeah that's important
subject category
uh probably like science stuff like science
facts um
locally known science facts like
this this is a change for
Big T's last team he was on with a point
porn star.
It's true.
Yeah.
Who's that?
I don't know much about the point of it.
It was me, Pat, and Lisa Ann.
Oh, well, former porn star.
Former porn star, okay, yes.
Current fantasy football.
She was pretty good.
She was a fun match.
She played PFT, yeah.
Thank you.
I mean, obviously football,
obviously football on science are my things.
Yeah, Aryan's going to be great to have.
Fatsy, what would you say your, your strength is?
My strength, well, Jeff, you know my strengths
because you don't ask me questions related to them anymore.
So once Jeff figures,
out exactly what you're good at, then
then you're done.
You won't like questions that you know the answers.
That was the, that was the, that was the, that was the, that was, I should have said
something else.
Well, no, no, let the record show PFT said we, barstool idle, we did a, a version of
the dozen and I said they, they did really well and he said, well, probably because
you wrote them easier questions and then PFT you stood across from my desk and I asked
him the same questions.
He went, what, two for eight?
Something like that.
But, so for example, it wasn't a good look.
That's still batting 250.
It wasn't a good look.
Aaron, he won't ask you questions about.
obviously like, okay, Houston Texans
quarterbacks from, you know, the early
2010. That's not going to be a question that Jeff
will ask you. But once he figures
out your strengths and weaknesses, then he knows
what to avoid. So for me,
like I used to be, I think my
strongest category was
the celebrity name puzzle.
Yeah, but that one, that one
away. I used to get those in like half a second.
That's how my mind works. I'm shit
with celebrities. I know Marvel
That's where I step. That's why we want
mad dog. Yeah, that's, yeah, you just got to be
good in a couple, as long as
if you combine to know everything as a team
that's all up, you don't need to one person who's a ringer
knows everything. Some teams have it, but this seems
oddly don't win often. I'm good at sublime
trivia. You are very good at sublime
trivia. Very good at that. Yeah.
What is sublime? Just the band.
I just, I know a lot about that band.
Oh, band. Yeah, I think I have my
niche topic all set up. Ready to go.
I'm excited. Big T knows a lot about Disney movies.
Evil combat configurations.
Disney movies is my shit.
Yeah, Aaron, you have to pick a niche category.
Did I say Aval?
I meant naval.
Naval aviation is one that I'd like to have considered for next year, Jeff.
Okay.
You can do whatever you want.
It's a niche.
Okay.
Cool.
Runner up of a dozen.
Run her up.
The experts.
Thank you.
How specific can you get with the niche?
Like, if you do like movies, you can pick a specific movie.
You can pick a sports team.
It can be like a specific 10-year range.
So like Einstein.
Einstein is my niche.
Einstein.
Interesting.
Interesting.
He could pick, technically, Aaron could pick a 10-year window of the Texans.
So, like, yeah, that's what I was going to say.
Yeah, Aaron, just pick the Texans from the 2010s.
That's kind of win, man.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
You'll learn.
The show used to be like a, like, there used to be this kind of unspoken, like we're all taking it seriously.
Now it, now it's all, it's very serious.
It's people, it is very, we need to win.
Yeah, it's cutthroat.
Yeah.
So Jeff, Aaron.
of Aryan Jeff D. Lowe.
Now that we're all acquainted,
today's episode is going to be,
happy 4th of July, by the way.
This is coming out.
Happy 5th.
Happy 5th of July, yeah.
This episode is going to be about phonies.
It's going to be an abbreviated episode
because we are taping this early
and like I said, I have to go to Jamaica later on today.
PFT is in fact an island boy.
Yeah, Island Boy.
So we're taping this early
and we're going to talk phonies with Jeffty Lowe.
I'm a big phony fan.
I'm enthralled by frauds.
Like really
I've noticed that every single show
that I watched recently
is about a fraud
Whether it's
The guy from WeWork
Oh he creeps me out
Travis Kalonic
From Uber
Elizabeth Holmes
Clean, girl boss
Total girl boss
I'm obsessed with frauds
I think that frauds are
They're just
Anadelvie
Yeah
Yeah
Anadelvie although I hated
The Soho Gryftor
Bad show
Terrible show on Netflix
Frauds are having a moment
In television
especially on subscription based
Billy McFarland did not get his own show though
The Fire Fest guy
Yeah but that's still like a fraud thing
Yeah but I wish you
I don't know why he didn't
Yeah he should have
He didn't get what
He didn't get his own show based on him
All these others did
His maybe he was maybe the most viral one
Fire Fest is still like
You do it on your show on PMT
Yeah Bernie made off
You know it's crazy
Another fraud
I think he is actually
One of the rare ones
Because I think a lot of them
like no they're scamming
I really think
he is just like
convinced he's doing an okay thing
who Bernie Madoff
no no no no
oh McFarland absolutely was convinced
I think he's just like
he was just convinced he was just convinced
like even his interviews afterwards
were like what it was
fascinating shit I watched both those
documentaries on Netflix and Hulu
yeah the the FireFest thing
I feel like Billy McFarland
the big unspoken subtext
that is ever present
throughout that documentary
is just cocaine.
They never talk about coke in the documentary
but if you read like all the emails
going back and forth and their like behavior
like Billy used to, if he
had to brainstorm about something, he would
like sprint outside, get on his ATV
and then just starts speeding up and down the road
thinking and then he'd come back park and be like, okay, I've got it.
Like they were just all coked out of their minds
the entire time. That's what Firefest was.
I didn't even know that that was a part of it.
Oh, yeah, it was Coke City.
But, yeah, I'm fascinated by frauds and by phonies.
I don't know what that is about me.
My favorite documentary of all time, Enron, the Enron documentary.
Yeah, that's good.
I need to get in on the Enron stuff.
I like their merch.
The Aneron documentary is fascinating.
They have really good merch.
Like, there's a bunch of, I get a bunch of Instagram ads with Enron merch on it.
And I don't know what that means about me.
Yeah.
But I want it so bad.
yeah it's a good logo the smartest guys in the room it's it's it's the enderine documentary is fascinating
because they like some company like theranos Elizabeth Holmes like they fucked up their own
thing and Ron fucked up many things way outside of their company like from the government down
to blockbuster like they impacted so many literally fires power routers and cal like they did so much
fucked up shit yeah they ruined California yeah um and it's just it's it's insane
We need to do an Enron episode.
We should.
And then I can get the shirt.
That documentary is awesome.
What about WorldCom?
I don't think they did a documentary about WorldCom.
That happened like right after Enron.
I remember that they were the big sponsor of the Washington Wizards at the time.
In fact, it might have been briefly called WorldCom Arena.
What did WorldCom do?
Big fraud.
I think it was also counting fraud.
Something in the neighborhood like $500 million more.
What was their like deal?
I don't remember.
You don't know what their company was?
I don't really remember.
Yeah, I just remember it got lumped into the whole like,
okay, they're kind of like what Enron did.
That's what they're doing.
What was Enron's company about?
Inron was just making up their business.
Energy.
They were in the energy business
and they were also in like the trading energy futures business.
Yeah.
And like they would allocate where the energy was going on the grid.
They would create artificial supply issues,
which would drive the prices sky high.
Like people in California had their energy bills go up like,
what, 50, 100 times
what they normally were?
They would call power plants in California,
especially during when they had really bad fires
and they would be like, hey, you should
find a reason to go down.
Just take the power down.
They would pump the energy out of California,
raise the prices, pump it back in.
So let's watch the smartest guys in the room.
What's it on?
I don't know.
You may have to rent it on like you too.
And then we'll do a recap episode.
Jeff, if you want to join us for that.
It's crazy.
That's crazy town USA.
They ruined Blockbuster.
Those sons of bitches.
I would say that just arrogance and hubris
ruined Blockbuster.
But they, I mean, Blockbuster tried to do a streaming thing
and Enron was the backer of it
and Enron was a fraud and exploded
and then Blockbuster had no support system.
How much could they have bought Netflix for?
Oh shit.
I think it was like 10 million.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
They also indirectly led to Elizabeth Holmes
being the girl boss she is today
because her dad worked for Enron.
Her dad was a VP at Enron.
Oh, wow.
Mm-hmm.
Crazy.
Apple doesn't fall far.
That's wild.
She's a great phony.
I think we all love phonies, right?
Yeah.
Do we love phonies because they make us feel good?
See, I picked three phony candidates.
That's good.
One of mine is a confirmed phony.
All right, give us the list.
Give us the list and the reasons.
I'll give you the three names.
Okay.
Don Gorski.
You may not know who that is.
He's a man who claims he's eaten a Big Mac almost every day for 50 years.
It's a Guinness Book of World Records holder for Big Mac.
He only eats Big Macs.
Who's second place?
Is there a second place?
It can't be that close.
Anybody that like gets on the phone with Guinness and they're like, hey, can you send somebody out to just like verify me?
This is a conspiracy phony.
That's alarm bells ringing.
I think he's a phony and I think he should be exposed one day.
The second is J.K. Rowling, the creator of Harry Potter, huge phony.
Why is she a phony?
I have reasons.
I have reasons listed.
The third is a confirmed phony.
That's Steve Raz and Izzy from the show of the league on F.
Were you ever on the league, Arian?
That fantasy football show?
That's actually kind of surprise.
It's like around that time.
He lied about being in one of the towers on 9-11.
I remember that.
It's an all-time lie.
He was on the Mark Marin podcast, and he got like really detailed.
He said he was in the 54th floor.
So the buildings jostled around a bit when they got hit.
He said he explained that the building security,
when I was loudspeakers, everything was okay,
just like stay put
and he said he went outside
and saw what happened
then he watched the other tower
get he called up to his
it was a crazy story
and then he said that
he thought for the first three hours
even after the tower show
that he thought it was just a bunch of drunk pilots
crazy story
he was in the Mark Merrim
and then he eventually said
like I lied about that
and where was he at the time
uh like oh uptown or something
what the fuck
it's a crazy story
like he wasn't even nearby
no not at all
that's nuts
he fled to the street
just minutes before another plane slammed into his building, he said, and decided that very day
that life was too precious to waste opportunities. So he abandoned his New York desk job to pursue a
career as an entertainer. He used it as like, here's the great story. Here's the inspirational
story behind why I decide to be on a TV show about fantasy football. He said he got nervous
at a comedy club in L.A. He felt like he didn't have any interesting things to talk to people
about, not on stage, like before going on stage. And it was like, oh, yeah. They're like, oh, you were in
you're from New York like you're from New York like it's like yeah he goes I was in one of the
towers and I don't and then he just over the years just added to it just at layers and layers
wait it's this guy you start with a small little lie and then you just build and build there's
actually there's so there's a recap on the Opie and Anthony show I think after Anthony Coombeio left
but it's Pete Davidson is listening to and Pete Davidson lost his dad on 9-11 and it's
Pete Davidson listening and reacting to it on the day that it came out that he lost
and Pete Davidson said for a while he looked up to Steve Razanizzi in comedy because of the similarities.
He's like, wow, you were in the built on the towers on 9-11 and he said he DMs.
He's like, you know, it's always been weird to me.
I DM Steve Residency a few years ago.
He says, hey, man, I think it's really cool that you had like 9-11 impact your comedy career like I did like with my dad.
And he goes, the fact that it impacted your career is great.
And he said, Residency replied saying, yeah, something like that.
And he said, I always thought that was very odd.
And then he said years later ended up because he just fucking made it up.
I can't believe it's Kevin from the league.
I would have thought it was, what's his name? Taco.
No, Taco's too pure for that.
Yeah, it's like the main guy.
One of the main guys, yeah.
That's great.
He's a confirmed phony.
Yeah, that's crazy.
The Brian Williams effect.
Where you like say something because you think it, for whatever reason, it sounds like a great story.
And then it just becomes part of your life to the point where like,
I think Brian Williams deep down actually.
believe that he was under sniper fire oh for sure even though he just completely made
it up it's weird how people do that um my and now his daughter is in is is in shows and
is she yeah she's in get out um i've got i've got two phonies they both have the same name and we can
go back to some of yours jeffin yeah i got to give you the rap sheet on don gorsky see if you think i'm
writer uh j leno's also a phony but fuck him i got nothing on him he sucks yeah i think everybody
knows he's a phony right he likes cars got a lot of them yeah i don't know why j leno's a
I'm such a deep-seated hate for Jay Leno.
Because I'm a Conan O'Brien guy.
Fuck Jay Leno.
Oh, I do like Conan better than Jay Leno.
Well, it's deeper than just like one or the other because Jay Leno actively tried to like kill Conan O'Brien's career.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
He's a real piece of shit.
Okay, let's get back into that later.
How, I was going to go off, Jeff.
He, he, he, well, so he, he, he fucked over Letterman at one point.
So he had a history of fucking people over for the tonight show job.
And then he promised.
He promised Conan O'Brien the Tonight Show, left the Tonight Show, retired, peaceful transition.
Conan came back in, was only on it for a little while.
His audience hadn't totally transitioned yet.
Like, typically when you have a new host, like Fallon had a transition period, like Seth Myers, like it takes a while.
Jay Leno went back on to have like a show after Conan, but then one way or the other, like the show that Leno now created,
pushed Conan back an hour
so Conan's Tonight show
started like after midnight
so it's no longer like
the Tonight show
and then it really fucked up
Conan's stuff
his ratings really plummeted
and then Jay Leno
took back the Tonight Show
from Conan
and then due to like non-compete
Conan couldn't be on TV
for like a year,
year and a half
or something like that
he's a big liar
he's a big phony
fuck him
and then his rating still stunk
and he gave it up to Jay Leno
and he gave it up to Jimmy Fallon
yep
that's that's nice and succinct
Jesus
Piece of shit
My two people
Actually have the same name
Can you guess who that would be
Both very prominent
In the mid-2000s
Late 90s
Mid-2000s
Same name
Although one has an S
At the end
But
What
Area
Like sports music
Two separate areas
One in politics
The other in television
Oh my God
This is I can
It's in my head
shit and they have the same name but one has the s at the end yeah i don't know
what the fuck john edward and john edwards okay i don't know either of them i don't know who
john edward is the john edwards is i'm going to screw it up john edwards i think is the guy
that was uh he's the politician he's the politician he ran for vice president on the john carry ticket
lost to George Bush
who was one of the least popular presidents
of all time at the time
and was the overwhelming
favorite at the start of the 2008 cycle
yes was the overwhelming favorite
he was the darling boy of the Democratic Party
because Democrats love
love a good Southern Democrat right
a blue dog yeah he had a lot of like
JFK physical traits to him too
good looking guy if you get a Democrat
from the South then Democrats
are like well
the good old boys will love this one
That's Beto O'Rourke now.
Yeah, but they never do.
Like, good old boys.
Never win.
They don't want to vote for John Edwards.
John Edwards was like a family values type of guy, squeaky clean, pristine image.
And his wife got terminal breast cancer.
And as she was dying, he cheated on her.
Yeah.
And I think got his girlfriend pregnant or something like that.
Yeah, you had a kid.
Yeah.
Immediate slime ball out of nowhere.
Immediate slime ball out of nowhere.
Shut up.
Like, as his wife was dying.
Yeah.
Also, obviously, spoiler alert, did not become president.
Did not.
Or vice president.
No, yeah.
It was overtaken by both President Obama and Hillary.
I wonder what he's up to these days.
Oh, being a slime ball?
Oh, that's so terrible.
How old do you think he is?
Now, 62.
He is 69 years old.
Wow, that's okay.
That's a lot older than I thought.
How's he look?
Well, the picture is just from when he was a senator, which was like 99.
How did you look then?
Great.
Oh, wow.
Big T thinks a man looks great.
We're making progress from him.
He looks well, well kept, put together.
He's in front of an American flag.
Oh, that's what looked great was the flag.
The flag always looks great.
And so then...
No, it doesn't.
My flag is trash.
Oh.
Aesthetically trash?
It's an objectively bad flag amongst other flags.
I would agree with that.
Bad flag.
Give me your top three flags.
Original Hawaii flag was fired.
Yes.
I really fuck with
I know it's simple but I fuck with the Japan flag
It's very simple but it's just aesthetically pleasing
It's badass
And this is just off the head right
Oh
I've got a couple right now
Yeah yeah yeah do a couple
I forgot about my last one
Great Britain
The Union Jack
That's just a cool design
It's also a good name too
Yeah it's a cool design
I do like how they have a name for it
Now we're just talking about
the aesthetics because like the union flag
there's you know a bunch of
a bunch of genocides that occurred
underneath the union jack
but I still think that it's a cool flag
I also like the the Ghana flag
is cool Albania's got a cool flag
does that have the eagle on it? Yeah yeah that's a good flag
the double eagle almost yeah
yeah I like that flag I like
I was like Barbados's flag too
the Kenyan flag is fire
Kenya's flag is fire
let's see Kenyan flag
Kenyon has like the kind of
like the shield
Yeah it's got like the shield
Yeah that's very cool
That's your hot
Is it India that has the wheel
Yes
Yeah I like that
And I like Sweden
The blue and the gold
Play really well together
We could have a better
I'm not mad as to you
Well if we redesign the flag now
We would have the most boring
minimalist bullshit flag
Based on how we redesign everything
like logo wives in this country?
We'd spend at least 24 hours
Roachia on Twitter.
It would be, it'd be three,
it'd be a white flag with three dots.
A white dot with a black outline,
a red dot and a blue dot.
Exactly would be.
It'd be so simple.
Absolutely minimalist.
I kind of like that.
Mexico's flag is fire.
Yeah, it's got the bird.
A good flag.
Yeah.
What's the one that has like the two,
I think Fiji,
look at the Fijian flag real quick.
Are you don't have the two pennants
on top of each other?
The one that has,
like, oh, that's not the one I'm talking about.
What's the one that has like two birds?
Oh, this is a bad flag.
Two birds looking at each other.
Two birds looking at each other.
I don't know.
Albania.
The, Fijis looks like it was made in.
The Albania flag is like, is very cool.
Albania is hard, bro.
There are a lot of good flags out there.
We don't have one.
That's a solid flag.
It's no star spangled banner, but it'll do.
I mean...
Which one?
Albania.
You like the idea of the stars.
I love it. I love the way it is a great looking flag.
You're indoctrinated.
I don't think so.
It's a good, it's a good aesthetic flag.
It's not.
I like the way that it looks in certain situations.
But I don't, from just like an artistic point of view, it's not really balanced at all.
It's got like, you know, the stars are just up in one corner.
They cut into the horizontal stripes on the top.
Horizontal stripes go all the way across at the bottom.
I feel like just artistically it's not
It's not great
Jamaica's flag
I would say
I'm going there
I was about to say
pound for pound
I think all the island countries
Have the best flags
Like if you were a group of like
The world
They are like Barbados
Jamaica
I think all those countries have the
Like the group together
Have the best flags
Barbados isn't
I like Trinidad's flag
I think of an Olympic flag
Is always see I was thinking about
An Olympic stuff
Wait wait wait
Even Canada's
The flag is firing
Is there a possibility that the key in the lockbox might be to another apartment?
Like, there was two keys?
Oh, no.
What are you talking about?
So I have the key, but it's being bitch getting into your keyhole.
Okay, so are you at the front door or are you at my apartment?
It's not the black one that goes into that keyhole.
It's the bigger brass one.
Oh, I just got it open.
Okay.
Are you in my apartment right now?
Yeah.
Okay.
So are you in the living room?
Yeah.
Do you see the red suitcase, the little bitch baby suitcase?
Yeah.
Okay.
And then the soup, this is the important part.
The soup should be on the nightstand.
Why is it on your nightstand?
I think it's on the nightstand.
You got it?
You got the soup?
Yep.
First salad.
Fuck yeah.
All right.
Thank you, Billy.
And the suitcase.
Billy, tell him to bring something random, like a fucking spoon or something.
Bring me.
I got my jar of weed
No don't bring me my jar of weed
I just come into the studio when you get here
Literally bring my TV
Okay um do you want your water bottle too
Thank you for offering but no I'm good
Throw the soup out
No he's bringing the soup
Oh okay okay sorry okay all right thanks Bill
I'm looking after you
Expense that Uber bye
More evidence for me expense my Uber
Okay you can do that already
Yeah, I guess
Okay, I'm sorry to interrupt
Where were we?
Flags
Flagg talk
We're just naming
Phonies
I also base
I base a lot of how the flag
Looks when it's draped
Across the back of somebody
When they win a medal
At the Olympics
And ours is great
Even though you're not supposed to do that
I know
No, you are
There are certain ways to do it
There's a when I work the Olympics
When I worked for Team USA
There is a huge
Huge
section of flag rules
and like what you can and can't do
it's crazy
Ryan Lockdee
one of them
can't wear a grill
on the podium stand
he did do that
that was tough
of all of all the crisis
crises that I saw
when I was at the Olympics
my office
the USA Communications office
when he stepped up
onto the podium
and he smiled
and he had a gold grill in
oh man
people went
they were like
oh no we're going to get
in a lot of trouble
is that just a rule
they have like
for appearance
or is that because he
was with the flag
uh it's part
partly that and it's also it's like an iOC thing like it's more so the iOC and the iFC hates
the united states everyone does yeah they hate us because they ain't though now they're just
giving us olympic games like it's fucking candy so do we have one other than la we're gonna get
solid city again yeah oh for the wonder uh i think the bahamanian flag is awesome yeah it's
bahama's good flag great flag uh uh ussr flag okay
Now we're getting out of control.
So I actually think that the hammer and the sickle went hard back in the day.
Now, of course it does.
Now I don't think it goes as hard anymore.
We discussed this on the show, though.
I think that like the idea of workers having a sickle in the fields doesn't really apply to modern day.
No.
I'm just saying the sickle has a big part in it.
I'm out on sickles.
No sickles?
No sickles.
I don't think they can do anything good.
They, they reap.
I don't even know what that really would mean.
Right?
You reap what you sow.
Yeah, but that's what you use.
That's a primary tool for reaping is, would be a sickle.
Not really used for anything else.
I'm going to be real.
I don't really know what reaping means.
Like harvesting grain.
Oh.
But in stranger things, that's not what they're doing in stranger things.
You're probably disemboweling somebody.
No spoilers.
No spoilers.
I haven't seen it.
I'm just guessing.
Oh, by now it's good.
I've never seen.
By the time this comes out.
Great first season, decent second season.
I think poor third season, fantastic fourth season.
First season was awesome.
I've watched the first two episodes.
I finished two.
Very long.
Yeah.
And you have to be paying attention to every long.
You can't be on your phone.
Like you have to watch every second of it.
It's scary town.
So yeah, John Edwards.
They're actually both named John Edwards.
It appears.
I thought one was John Edward.
No, the other one is John Edward.
I looked at him out.
Oh, it is?
Okay.
The medium.
The medium.
Yeah.
So the first John Edwards, the, the politician, he had an affair with his campaign worker, Riel Hunter, as his wife was dying of cancer.
Yep.
Class act.
Class act, that one.
Another big phony, John Edward, the medium.
If you don't know who John Edward is, he had a moment.
I think it was like early 2000s, was the John Edward moment.
he hosted a show called Crossing Over with John Edward
and he claimed that he could speak to the dead
so what he would do
he would have family members of people
that had lost a loved one so family members of somebody who had died
people that had lost a loved one would go to his shows
hoping that they could talk to their dead relatives
and just like tell them that they love them one last time
or like connect with them or ask them
advice about something. And John Edward used to stand up in this theater, pick people out of the
crowd, and using cold reading tricks that a lot of magicians know, a lot of, you know, old school
like carnival barker types know, he would say that he's talking to their dead relative.
He would claim, like, I know nothing about your past. He would ask questions, leading questions
that would have people be like, yeah, I know somebody whose name starts with a J. Yeah, I have
lost somebody um who worked like in in retail yes i do know that person and then he would claim to
be speaking with that person and give them like communication from their dead relative and people would
like break down in tears they would cry just completely playing on everybody's emotions and for
some reason we all kind of went along with it at the time everybody was like wow this is the only
guy that can talk to dead people that's crazy i'm so glad he has a tv show people would buy tickets to
to show is that we're super expensive
because they're like, yeah, this is the only guy in the world
that can talk to my dead dad.
So let's, yeah, I want to talk to this guy.
Praying on people in crisis
or in dire situations,
absolute phony, every time.
Big phony.
How do you feel about the Long Island medium?
What does she do?
Same thing.
Trash.
All mediums are shit.
All mediums are assholes.
I kind of, I loved the Long Island medium growing up.
I don't care about it.
The reason why I hate them so.
much is exactly the reason you're said, but it's just like, I, I can't stand people that
pray on people who are going through like a real thing. You know what I'm saying? And you can't
talk to the dead. Shut the fuck up. And people are looking for any kind of like hold on to hold
on to the lost relative and your fucking asshole self is, I could talk to. Shut up. I hate them.
All of them. I loved the island. Wish them all a painful death. I do too. What about a free to hug a
pro bono medium just doing
it just doing it for me that's what the
line of the medium did she would do it for the love of the game
I don't I don't make millions
yeah she wasn't doing it for the love of the game
she had to do it for the love of the game
before she got the TV show I would do it in like
the grocery store no she was charging
probably but she would be in the grocery she talks about
like she would be in the grocery I'm not saying I believe in it
but I did when I was 11 but like
Mattie I was hustling people in the
grocery store being like hey
it's a house she was building her brand put it like
that she's building her brand she would wear so much
hair spray and a bump it and she would say look she would stop me also she would stop you in the meat aisle and say look i know i know i don't know you but do you have a dad that was named jim and then they all like i know it's not real she probably did their she's probably did recon on them yeah if you got the credit card information from the front of the door objectively the worst hairstyle of all time is the bump at shit that's bad that is the worst 2011 me oh it was so bad little 12-year-old madeline madeline and
was so into the Long Island medium
it was crazy I would sit down
you got hustled right along with all the best of good thing
no I'm not saying it is I'm just I'm I fell for it
I'm saying it worked I think John Edward the medium
significantly worse than John Edwards the politician
really I do too I do too
I think they're both they're obviously both phonies
but I mean do got do got horny with his wife is on his deathbed
I mean I can understand it not not the most cool move in the world
but like you out here really fucking
people over with just medium shit.
Yeah. I'm, I threw the politician in because they had the same name and I was like,
okay, this is a good pair that I'm putting in. And they are both phonies. But John Edward the
medium, like, that's, he made money grifting people off their grief. That is like, and
for longevity, that that does probably make it worse. But in terms of like the worst thing
you can do, I think that's really, I think the politicians on your dying wife is probably
third that I can think of. What's number one? Did she find, does she find out?
probably worse and then after that that might be third yeah wait did she find did she find up uh
i don't for she died because that would be that's a good question if if if if she didn't find out
before she died like at least she went like you know in peace but if she if she if she found out
i forget if it came out before after she died that's that's that's pretty bad and then i would i would i would
i would i would low-key blame the reporter yeah she found out before she oh fuck she found out it was
actually it was a somewhat controversial that it was reported on at the time yeah i would not i would not
report that i would not report because it was reported after she died yeah it was uh it was a little bit of that
and also i feel like politicians personal lives were not quite as much fair game as they are now
in 2008 it was still fair game but but i would also argue we don't need to know i don't care like
do you not think she deserved to know yeah but she didn't deserve to know
by getting it blared out on like TNZ or whatever it was.
I learned a long time ago, man.
Sometimes doing the right thing ain't the right thing.
So if you're being like valiant and you're and you're being heroic by,
hey, you need to know before you die, I'm going to break your heart.
Fuck, no, I can't do that.
But then I would live with that guilt.
Like you would just live with that guilt.
Man.
Ignorance is bliss.
Ignorance.
I can see both ways on that.
Because like, I'm not.
So you, you're a stranger and you feel like it's incumbent.
on you to break somebody's heart for the guy. I'm saying if I was if I was either of them either her
or john Edwards like for her to die like and her like say I love you to her husband as she's
dying who has like fathered a child with someone else yeah that feels really shitty but on the
other hand it is really shitty for her to know that he was cheating on her and go to her deathbed
with that so they both suck I hope she's I hope she haunts him every night when he closes his eyes
and ghosts
ghosts or phonings too.
Yeah.
But if,
I don't know,
man,
if you've ever been
a heartbroken before,
like,
spare me the pain
before I die.
Like,
I probably,
because you might die of that.
If they was really,
really in love like that.
Right, like a heartbreak.
That shit is one of the worst feelings
in the world.
Yeah.
And I'm not bringing that pain to nobody.
One,
it's none of my business.
Two,
to bring that upon somebody
when they're already facing
their mortality dog like that,
I think that's a shit.
shitty thing to report but
also did it come out while he was running
I thought it was after
I thought he was really dead in the water
I think that matters also
yeah I thought he was already dead in the water on the race
because he was pretty quick
so he was also a big phony because
he was anti same sex marriage
it was back when like I don't know 50 60%
Democrats were against gay marriage
though Biden was oh she got Obama was
everybody was yeah that's one of
I can say honestly I was on the right side of like my whole life I remember I was having like a
debate against my friend's dad who is like it's big big conservative and I was like I honestly
don't get it like why why do I care if gay people get married and he was like well it devalues
the sanctity of the institution I was like I mean people get divorced left and right like who who cares like
if somebody's gay husband is dying in the hospital their husband that's been their partner
for life, should be allowed to visit them on their deathbed and receive health benefits
and life insurance stuff. And it was insane to me that anybody was anti. John Edwards was
anti-gay marriage. Meanwhile, he was porking his assistant while his wife was dying. Yeah. And he's
trying to protect the sanctity of marriage. It's big phony. But John Edward, John Edward, the
medium, I think, I do think he's a bigger phony because he would have
people that that would like go outside his his shows and talk to the studio audience on
camera be like oh what are you what are you looking to hear and he would have a live
feed that was like transmitted backstage and he'd be like taking notes on people and
shit i think he's just he was he was knowingly and willingly doing it to advance his own
career oh yeah consistently uh for years and years and years just being a predator so um those
Those are my two.
I was going to do my...
Go ahead.
Big T's the commissioner, he says, go ahead.
Yeah, yeah, I appreciate the go ahead.
It led into mine, and it's not all, but most preachers and pastors and all their motherfuckers.
Because they feed people the same bill of goods without really knowing if it's true or not, but they pretend it's true, right?
So I'm okay with religion.
I'm quite, I think people need hope.
And some pastors do a good job of offering hope.
But some people take it a step further and assert that they know and can interpret God's will.
And they know what he wants and they know what he or she, you know, wants to institute with our lives.
And I think it's just, I think they pray on people just as much as mediums when they ask
offerings. All they're like, I go drive by 59 almost every day. And Joel Osteen has a
fucking mega church. This is what the Rockets used to play. And this motherfucker is big. And they
pack that bitch out every Sunday, dog. And like, they have Saturday servers, Wednesday
service. And most of these people are just like average working Americans that give it up to this
motherfucker who lives in a million dollar mansion, which Jesus specifically pricked against. And so
it's like all these motherfuckers just be phonies man like all memory wouldn't fucking open it up
during the hurricane too yep i was there yeah was there and then the next like two or three days
he opened it up because he got so much backlash on twitter and then he's like yes this is the house
of the lord and niggas shut off it's the uh the prosperity gospel and i'm not i'm not exactly
familiar with i mean i've done like a little bit of reading on it but i'm probably going to
butcher my explanation of it um the prosperity gospel is what a lot of these like major big
preachers like to say, which is, um, like their rewards that they're getting. It's a testament.
They deserve it because they're spreading so much. Like the more word you spread, the more you'll
be rewarded not only in heaven, but also during your time on earth. So, um, they, they look at a good thing.
I feel like Houston, Texas is also like ground zero for a lot of these major, major preachers.
There was a guy. Atlanta too. There was a guy. I think his name was Creflow Dollar.
I think oh my god
you know him you know you know creflow
he got a plane didn't it yeah
yeah and his last name was dollar he changed his name
to dollar and he was like he was a mega preacher
and he was like i'm just spreading the word of jesus
had a private jet that would take him left and right
um yeah those types of evangelists
they're they're phonies
there was one there was one dude who was like
uh i have i have the meme in my phone somewhere but he was like uh
because they was it was talking to him about his private jet
He was like, the private jet was so cheap I had to buy it.
I was like, you're a piece of shit.
PFT was scammed by a televangelist.
I was.
What?
Oh, you guys know this.
I ordered that giant burrito and rice Mexican food bucket.
Oh, that was from a televangelist?
It was a televangelist that was selling survival food and I ordered it.
And Jeff and I ordered, what, January 2020 before the call.
Great call on our part.
Never got it.
I never realized that it was a televangelist.
I thought that was the soup.
That's the soup stuff?
he did that again
soup was a separate
yeah I okay
that wasn't phony
this was it was a fiesta
bucket it was a big bucket
of just like different text mex never got it
got you never got a receipt
I had two as well
my second one um
is milly vanilla
that's such a good one
yeah so milly vanilla for people that don't know
they were
R&B artists back in the late 80s
early 90s and they were
I'm saying they were selling things or records.
They were doing a thing.
And in one performance, they were performing in front of a crowd live
and their voices started to skip, like something happened with the audio engineer,
and they just ran off stage.
And it got so much, it garnered so much attention that it started to come out
that they were not the singers of their songs.
And so they, I mean, they won Grammys and everything.
And so they had to give all of that shit back.
And it was like this big scandal.
Like everybody did like comedy skits of them.
It was wild.
It became a meme.
There was those memes before a meme.
Yep.
That was actually, that was great fodder for Jay Leno.
Jay Leno was making mill and vanilla jokes through the mid-90s for sure.
Nope.
Then Ashley Simpson took over that.
She became the new lip-sinker.
That was all time.
Oh, do you see?
I also ran off the stage on SNL.
That's crazy.
That's a
The next person
Who gets caught
You can't run off the stage
Own it
Yeah
And they played the wrong song
Right
Yeah
Yeah the wrong song
It skipped
And the wrong song
Started playing
And then she did like a
Like some sort of like
Irish jig
Yeah
And then ran off the stage
Yeah
Oh I gotta see
It's real awkward
It's very
It's brutal
It's brutal to watch
But yeah
Millie Vanilli
That's a nice deep cut
I haven't thought
About those guys
In a long time
What was their song
they had a hit right i couldn't say i wasn't i wasn't a fan of them i don't know i feel like
they had a hit no they they sold millions like it was they were they were another reason the
grimys are phonies they gave me vanilla vanilla i think that's one of jephty low's worst takes
that the gramey's worse than an emmy yeah immy's way worse dude you have an emmy i know i do
half of half of the producers not to say that i mean the priest yeah but if you if you if you group
my Emmy in, you got to group in the bullshit
Grammys as well. I don't think
there are bullshit Grammys. But there's also like
bullshit Oscars and bullshit like whatever's.
No, I know Oscars I will defend. There are no bullshit Oscars.
There's only good ones.
Thank you. The Emmy's nonsense as well.
You took my
argument down when you brought the sports Emmy and I will
admit that. Yeah, sports. That's no offense
to our coworkers who have many sports Emmys.
The sports Emmys, I think, are
nonsense. They give it to anyone that's
not on Barstool. That's
that's kind of how they work.
It's like, do you have a show?
Is it, is it streamed on like the Bleacher report out?
We haven't brought the fourth one in, by the way.
Where do we stand on the Tony Awards just quickly?
I don't know enough about them, but I feel like it's, it's difficult.
It's difficult to be on stage.
Yeah.
It's a very high bar for entry.
So it's like, you know, to be able to compete for a Tony, it's a much smaller pool.
But to be able to get to the point where you're actually on stage on Broadway, it probably
has to be pretty good.
Yeah.
All right.
Shout to Tony.
Shout to Tony.
Jeff,
can you pass me
my suitcase real quick?
Yep.
That's for a week.
For a weekend.
You have the tiniest suitcase in the world.
It's insane.
It's a tiny little bitch suitcase.
It's perfect for a weekend trip, though.
I just feel like there's better things for a weekend trip.
Like,
PFT, you make,
I'm sure you make a good amount of money that you can afford a nicer suitcase.
You're going to Jamaica with this?
Yeah.
It's all,
it's packed to the brim with Ball's Beach,
This is the Michael Scott I finally broke down and got myself a plasma screen team.
Look, look, I can lift it with one hand.
It's so easy to get into the overhead.
Hold on.
How long are you in Jamaica for?
I'm going there today, tomorrow.
It's a Thursday wedding, Friday, and Saturday.
So I've got three pairs.
You're all rumpers in there?
Three sets of balls beach wear.
Do you have a suit in there?
I've got, no, it's like kind of a casual island wedding.
So I've got a nice Hawaiian shirt.
Do you have linen pants?
Some nice pants. Unfortunately, don't have linen pants yet.
I do have linen pants that are on the way.
My guy said, yet, he's going on the way here?
No, they're on the way to my apartment.
Jersey Shore, PFT, linen pants.
Yeah.
Oh, your wedding's in Jersey.
No, the wedding is in Jamaica, but then I'm going to the Jersey Shore afterwards.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Yeah, so I'm getting my linen suit.
It's like a nice tope.
It's a nice tope color.
I like to hope.
I think the worst part about that suitcase is, it just draws the eye.
also the carry the handle that carries it on the wheels is just unexplicit like it's so long it's so long compared to the size of the suitcase yeah i mean look
how long have you had that suitcase i've had so like seventh grade no child no i got the suitcase when i had shoulder surgery in 2011
2012 and my mom was like oh you're gonna have a hard time lifting things i want to get you a nice light small
suitcase because i was going on a trip and uh so she bought me my mom bought me this
suitcase do you have when you were 11 or 12 no 2000 okay in 2012 yeah okay and so I got
the suitcase for it and it's perfect for a wedding trip but did you we have equally um I I have
one suitcase and I got it in 2011 as well both yeah make enough money to buy nicer
suitcases no no no mine is good but also PFT but like I would argue I would argue this though
I would argue sorry to cut you off me but I would argue this there's two things I feel like
you cannot go cheap one.
Suitcases and belts.
Like I think those two things, you can't go cheap on.
I don't wear pants anymore, so I don't have any belts.
But my suitcase is in great condition,
and it's probably my best purchase in the last 10 years.
That's a good thing that we should discuss at some point
is like what are some low-key rich moves being able to say,
like, I don't wear pants anymore.
That's a low-key rich move.
I asked Arian when he was here last time, like, oh, you know,
I asked him something about dressing up
and I was like oh what happens
because he was saying he doesn't like dressing up
I was like well what happens if you
you know need to go somewhere that requires
dress attire and he's like I just don't go
like I
I one of my
one of the greatest things about me leaving
like I guess it's not really corporate
but leaving the corporate television world
I can just come to work
in shorts and a fucking sweatshirt
yeah like that like having to wear fucking pants
every day in the heat
of the summer for no
reason. The worst. I don't miss it whatsoever. The worst. Big T. Who are your phonies?
So my first in the spirit of the 4th of July, the second best holiday we have is England.
Wait, what's first? Christmas. I mean, nothing comes close to Christmas.
Your big Christmas guy? I mean, it's a whole month of joy and celebration and great music and
Jesus. It's the best. So England is my first phony. They
had he had two dads
what
Jesus had two dads sure
um
Joseph was a cuck
yeah
maybe the world's biggest cuck of all time
come all man that's fucked up
like Mary Mary was all
so
how do I say this
I'm pregnant but
like God fuck me
that's what the that's what the Christmas
I saw the
I saw the funniest TikTok edition
of all that dude was like
I'm a butcher but he was like
it was like uh when he was talking to to mary he goes uh he's like yeah just bake this uh bake this cake
she's like we don't have we don't have another she's like you see that's what i'm talking about
can you imagine like joseph like just chilling with the boys being like yeah so um so mary
mary's pregnant but um but she didn't cheat on me she did not cheat on me and all the boys were like
yeah yeah okay joseph
that's crazy that's crazy when you think about it bro like god really tough part to explain was the
story yeah like that it's god it's god it's god's baby though like it wasn't but it but even there
i mean okay let's say there was a god and he actually did that to your girl are you just cool
with that shit like like big t like if your girl that's the whole story though that's why i'm saying
you cool with that shit joseph gets to heaven i feel like joseph was rewarded in the end for for sticking
God's like hanging out at the bar in heaven.
What's that what's that movie when he's like, I'll offer you a million dollars to sleep with your wife?
Indecent proposal.
That's just a blot to that shit, though.
Yeah, except in seven million bucks, it's just like eternal salvation.
Anyway, as I'm saying, England's in heaven.
He's like, oh, Joseph, this guy fucking hates me, dude.
What did you do?
Dude, you'll never believe that.
I fucked up.
This guy fucking hates me.
And even in heaven
Like you walk around
Everybody's looking at you like
Yeah, that's a dude
Yeah
Yeah like if you're Joseph
You'd probably rather go to hell right
Yeah
I don't want to hang out with God
Let me let me hear Satan out
You know what I'm saying
Let me see what he has to offer
Because this is some bullshit
I feel like he
He was rewarded handsomely in the end
How would
you get awarded. I don't even remember.
I mean, I'm just like going to heaven, yeah,
being like the number one dude of all time.
Yeah, but then he sees...
That's Jesus. And then he sees all those other homies in heaven.
He's like, what the fuck? Like, what...
Yeah, I didn't get anything that different.
Yeah, we all ended up in the same place.
That's true. But he got to go.
Yeah, it's true.
Can't even drink in heaven.
That was supposed to be England.
I feel like there's no good transition from Joseph to the English Empire.
But that was the original 28 to 3 lead
They lost to a bunch of farmers
And then we turned into the greatest country
That's ever existed
Did you do you also think the current
Royal family phonies
Well they've been phonies for
Okay
Hundreds and hundreds of years
So but Big T
With England
I mean you have to count longevity into this right
Like all empires come to an end
Would you say
They were the greatest empire
The world had ever known
And we took a bunch of
Of farmers and plumbers
And beat them back to where they came
right but like it's one thing to be an upstart underdog and to beat the big guy but we haven't
put up the stats that they've put up like we we have a lapped them in we have a hundredth of the time
yeah but we have a long way to go before we catch up to their their career totals well since the 1770s
they've just i mean they still exist but not they're a shell of themselves i understand the
sentiment behind it i'm just saying like you know we weren't really a superpower to like the
Industrial Revolution, though, right?
But I mean, we beat the greatest military power the world had ever known,
and then they lost out on what ended up becoming the greatest country ever.
Then they came back and beat us in 1812, though.
We don't like to talk about that.
Well, that was some bullshit, though.
Yeah, it was rigged.
Corrilla Warfare tactics.
Doesn't count.
My number two, Dabo Sweeney.
Okay.
Ultimate.
I'm in.
Go off.
I'm in.
I agree.
When Jeff told me that we were doing phonies, the word phoneies, the word
phony is embodied by nobody better than Davosweeney he's just the faked just fraud dude you've ever
seen everything he says is just fake he I I despise him I don't see how anybody like plays for him
and enjoys it I mean they win they win that's it's a big part of it but like he's so just fake
so what's the worst part about him what's the fakes part um he he thinks he's a preacher yeah
like he and then you know I've so he's the phony to phonies that's crazy yeah he just like he is he's
the Joel Osteen of college yeah that's a good comparison um he he said he would quit his job if players
ever got paid that's right that's right he's making 10 million dollars a year well he's against players
getting paid while he is able to being one of the highest paid uh coaches i don't fuck with him because
of that period yeah that's where he lost me too because like you whatever like like like scum
me college football coaches or scummy college football coaches
like Saban doesn't personally
bother me all that much. But they don't, Sabin doesn't hide
it. Right, right. I'm an asshole.
Dabo. If you're going to get to the NFL, you come play for me.
You're going to deal with me being an asshole. Yeah, he
thinks he's untouchable and like
just this almighty being
dabbo. Fuck that. How do his players
feel about him? See, that's what I don't know
because you've never, I've never
really heard of people like leaving Clemson
me and like, yeah, that guy sucked.
Yeah, like, but it seems fairly obvious that he
sucks. I don't think they have the culture that's
like Alabama has where
players are like pumped to come back
and support like the future players
sometimes I mean Trevor Lawrence
I think loves Davo
but if you're the star quarterback
I'm sure Davo plays by much different rules with you
where he treats you like all coaches
I think Deshawn Watson loves Davo
well that's not a ringing endorsement
but I actually have something
to back Big T on this
Clemson has this weird culture of like
all of them like if
okay if we're comparing Davo Sweeney to Joel
Osteen. All of them
are like bought into the
kind of like church like atmosphere
of it because all of them are super religious
and all of them
get married. They're like junior year of college
and so I think they just kind of have this weird
kind of like we're all bought into this
process together and then
they all get these
girlfriends that like kind of also buy in.
It's like a whole phenomenon. If Texas A&M
wasn't such a weird cult, I think people
would call Clemson like the weird cult
of them. Yeah. There's something
to where Clemson is located
and the town around Clemson,
like, Clemson is nothing.
Clemson, South Carolina,
nothing going on there.
It's, you have a hill and you have a rock.
There's a couple of gas stations.
There's a place that's open late at night to eat.
And then there's the university, and that's it.
And I think there's something about being in a weird location
that makes people kind of fall into that cult-like behavior,
kind of like college station.
I was going to say, that's how cults work.
Yeah.
You go to an isolated location,
so you can't see the outside world.
and then you all buy into the same process
South Bend
kind of like that
Oh hey hey hey hey hey hey
What do you have
Why are you such a fan of South Bend
I love Notre Dame
Yeah but why are you fan of South Bay
Oh South Bend Indiana is a not great place
Maybe the worst like town I've ever been to
Yeah South Bend is not great
But I don't think Notre Dame is the same like
cult like atmosphere
Oh no the Catholic church definitely not
Okay well that's different
I mean that's how my college was
Like Miami Ohio is in a literal cornfield
That's such a weird
by the way, not to offshoot because I'll be big
to get back to it. That's such a weird
like college football
fandom assumption. You know, like
I don't know what the best like example would be to compare
to but like if you talk to someone who's Catholic
you almost assume they're a Notre Dame fan of they don't have
like a college directly tied to them.
Me. That's such that is like one of those weird
like I didn't even know what to compare that to.
Yeah, I mean Notre Dame was one of my favorite places to play in.
Oh, it's such a six stadium. Very cool.
It's very cool. Their field was trashed but just
the atmosphere was fire.
Yeah.
See, I feel like most people usually say the opposite of that
because, like, it's an older crowd generally.
When Georgia went there a few years ago.
It was just, it was just.
When Georgia went there, it was like 80% Georgia fans.
They like packed the place out.
And that was like when people were like,
oh, Notre Dame fans have kind of lost their fastball.
I don't look at a stadium and be like their fans are crazy.
Yeah, like it.
I just, the atmosphere was dope as far as like the, as,
I'm big on aesthetics.
It's why, like, also one of my favorite was Kentucky.
Kentucky's really dope.
Because every time we played them, it was like, it was an overcast and just the way
the blue lit up, that was dope as shit.
But that's why I like, I mean, I don't really pay attention to the fans too much.
Did you score in that game in South Bend?
Oh, uh, I believe I put up a bill like 30.
I don't, I think I did score.
you feel having to look at Jesus when you scored uh it's just an inanimate object that's
same way i look at uh any other statue um and then my third uh was just all democrats that's
there you got you saw that one coming that was that was that was that was wait are you saying
nancy pelosi is a phony yeah i mean i actually i said that is a joke but it is actually like
kind of true like
Republicans for
as much as Democrats hate them like
are pretty straightforward for the most
part and Democrats like say they're going to
Oh shit
What do you mean?
They're not straightforward
They're all full of shit
What do you mean?
They're all phonies
Yes all politicians are full of shit
But Republicans generally like have a plan
And they're like we're going to do this
And try to stick to it and Democrats like
Say they're going to do shit never do
You're delusion
Republicans, Republicans plans to stifle Democrats' plans.
Like, that's the rest of the plans.
I mean, we spent, we just spent four years listening to Trump talk about a fucking
health care plan that never came.
Their plan is to like, that's, that's the Republican plan.
Unless it's like abortion or something like that, like they're trying to.
But again, it's just to stifle the plans of Democrats, which Democrats never fucking passed
through like that.
I would agree with you. Democrats are fonded, but it's all the Republicans.
That's all the shit is just as much.
Yes, most politicians are, but
like, this is a bad example because it's such a hot button issue, but a lot of Republicans
for 50 years were like, we want to overturn Roe versus Wade and like did it.
And Democrats like say they're going to do shit all the time and then it just, they don't.
Kind of wish they were less straightforward about that one.
All phonies.
They're all phones.
Yes, I agree.
I hate all of them.
yeah um i mean republicans did start the war in iraq of completely false pretenses that they knew was
false again i said this pretty big that's a pretty big phony move if we want to talk about
guys cheating on their wives like nuke gingrich as he was going after bill clinton for doing
admittedly incredibly scumbag behavior um he was cheating on his wife left and right i think he also
what you're on his dying wife.
Really?
Yeah.
And he's still kicking.
He's still like a mouthpiece for them.
He is, yeah.
Yeah, I haven't heard from him in a long time.
All phonies.
My two here remaining, I'm going to rip through this.
You got to tell me you think the guy's a phony or not.
The McDonald's guy.
Don Gorski.
Okay.
Oh, I thought you meant Ronald.
I was like, what did he do?
No, Ronald's okay.
I can, yeah, become cool, Ronald.
From Wisconsin, he's 68 years old.
He's six foot to 185 pounds.
cholesterol level of 156 as of 2011.
That's his first doctor of it since 1985.
He's the Big Mac enthusiast.
He looks like John Lennon, like a hundred, but he looks like he's cough playing John Lennon.
He's eaten over.
Don Gorsky, G-O-R-S-K-E, looks like a beetle.
He's eaten over 32,000 Big Macs over 50 years.
Big Macs constitute 90 to 95% of his solid food intake, so he claims.
uh it's over a thousand calories today on big max claims he burns off all his calories due to
being active but he also only really drinks coca cola so he he's not just eating big max
he's he's guzzling coca cola uh he says his taste buds fluctuates so he sometimes doesn't
even taste the big max he's eating uh in june of nineteen seventy two hundred and sixty five big
Max, 4,600 calories, 247 grams of low quality, fat daily.
That's 17 pounds of fat in just a month.
Done that for 50 years.
Used to collect Big Macs boxes in the back of his car like a fucking pig.
Was once bet $5 by a friend to eat a whopper from Burger King.
Claims he hated it.
Use the money to buy Big Max.
We'll never eat one again.
Never has again.
Put candles in his Big Macs for his birthday during holiday meals when his family's
around the table on Thanksgiving Christmas.
He just eats extra Big Macs.
He doesn't join in with the food.
He is not in a Big Mac a total of eight days in his life when his mother passed away
because she said, please don't fucking eat a Big Mac on this day.
There was a snow day.
And then one day he traveled and he couldn't find a McDonald's in a certain city,
which I don't believe that at all.
That's a giant red flag, though, if your mom's dying wish is, hey, can you, on the day
that I die, can you not do the most important part of your life on that day?
Was it the day she died?
her funeral the day she died i believe uh he keeps an emergency stash of big max so he claims in his
freezer and fridge uh and he's he packs his suitcase full of big max when he travels just in case
he can't find a mcdonalds uh he does claim his ocd partly fuels his obsession uh which i can
relate to as i have ocd as well so that could be it i think he's completely full of fucking
shit though i think he's so beyond full of shit it's it's insane why there's no way this man
there's no way this man consumes that many fucking
calories in a day.
I don't care what he's doing.
He's not where he just says he's active.
He never supplies the evidence.
He was also part of that propaganda bullshit from Morgan Spurlock supersized me.
There's never evidence of this man eating all these Big Macs.
Is it Morgan Spurlock big phony?
Well, I wouldn't say Morgan Sparks so phony because he canceled himself.
Nobody was asking and he came on, oh, by the way, it's sexually harassed some of my employees.
And they're like, what?
He also, but I think that supersized me, the entire premise behind it, he wasn't actually
conducting the experiment correctly, right?
Yeah, but weren't some of his movies bullshit?
Yeah, he's, he's complete.
He also had a movie where he tried to go find Osama bin Laden.
Did he get him?
He didn't.
Spoiler.
I think this guy's completely full of shit.
I think there's just no way.
I think there's no way that if 95% of his caloric intake is Big Macs and his most in,
he doesn't drink, most of what he drinks is Coca-Cola.
There's just no way.
Does he, he goes the same McDonald's though, right?
It depends.
He travels a lot.
It does appearances.
Disappearances at McDonald's probably
32,000 Big Macs
he was 185 pounds
I might be getting paid by McDonald's at this point
I would that since that I would believe
Big Corporation backing him
I don't know you tell me
I'm looking at the guy right now he looks like a beetle
He looks like a phone is what he looks like
I can't find any pictures of him like now
But when I
I saw a picture of him walking in a marathon
Like maybe maybe he like
He has a big thing to where he's like you know
People are always telling me
I was going to die around 15,000 Big Mac, but I'm still here.
I think I think I caught in a lie.
My other one is J.K. Rowling, Rolling, Rowling.
She created a Harry Potter, wrote a great series, but she is a huge, huge buckles under
the pressure of mass opinion, mostly when it comes to representation.
Well, because her opinions are very bad.
Right.
She wrote a lot of books with a lot of white people who do witchcraft, witchcraft and witch.
which is fine that's fine star wars it was it was a lot of white people and aliens like
it is what it is like okay like she got shit for it like that's probably unfair however here's
the problem she reacted to it she buckled under pressure and not only did she make changes
she tries to pretend the changes were always there in the first place uh the first one was dumbledore was
gay that was her big one that's what started at all she said dumbledore was gay was never in the book
She's like, he was always gay.
To me, he was always gay.
And then people always say the same thing.
They're like, yeah, but you didn't put it in your book.
So, like, what are you trying to, like, dunk on people for that, like, you had inclusion
of gay people in your book.
She just thought that he was gay?
Yeah, she said he was.
She said, Voldemort had a kid.
And she said she had a kid with Bellatrix, who's a character in the book, said, oh,
she was pregnant in all those movies and books.
She wasn't.
It's like, it's there.
You wrote this before.
Was she drinking any of that, any of that, what's the butter beer?
Maybe.
Maybe.
She was not pregnant in the books or movie.
She wasn't.
If she had butter beer, then she was not pregnant.
Said Dumbledore had a relative named Credence.
She killed the character in a movie, then brought the character back just magically.
She changed one of the characters ages to be decades older.
She does that.
But then there's a representation thing.
She changed one of, so many people said you don't really have any Asian characters in your books or movies.
So she made, she took a Voldemort snake and said that that's a cursed Asian woman and made
that made that an Asian woman.
She's like, I got Asian people, my stuff.
It's a snake.
Also, isn't the Asian girl that's in Harry Potter like a super like stereotypical Asian name?
Yeah.
So there is another, there are two Asians.
One is a snake.
Another is Cho Chang.
Yeah.
Then there's, she said Hermione was actually black in the, her stage play, Harry Potter and the Curse Child.
And she said people were like, well, what the fuck?
They're like, no, she wasn't.
Like she was white.
Like stopped.
She did, there weren't many black people in Hogwarts in her.
books. And she's like, oh, well, Hermione was black. They're like, no, she wasn't. She was white. And she's like, no, I never said that. But then her books, they're like, she wrote like Hermione, white in the face. Her mind, like, like, she very clearly said, Hermione was a white person. But she's like, no, no, no, no, no. Like, you never know. Uh, and then somebody said, are there Jewish wizards in Hogwarts? And she said, yes, Anthony Goldstein. So she, she just leans, she, she, she, she leans into it. She goes to the most stereotypical, like, potentially Jewish name she could possibly find. You're just like,
Anthony Goldstein, Ravenclaw.
And then she also makes non-representation changes.
She just randomly said, oh, yeah, back in the day before plumbing.
Nobody asked for these things either.
So back in the day before plumbing, witches and wizards would piss and shit themselves in the middle of Hogwarts, and they would have a spell and clean it up.
Who is?
Nobody needs to know that.
Nobody's like, wait a second, JK.
Would they poop and piss themselves?
She could just make stuff up and be like, it was, it was in my head, but it wasn't in the book.
Don Gors is a conspiracy theory for me.
J.K. Rowling is a fucking phony.
She's also a transphobe.
Oh, yes.
That's a whole different.
You go down a real rabbit hole in that one.
Yeah, she's just like not a good person.
Yeah, she's just like, it's, I actually would defend her on her inclusion.
Like, I don't think her having a lack of representation in Harry Potter is like malicious at all.
I think that's just what she writes.
She's, like, that's just what she made.
It's like Seinfeld.
Right.
It's fine.
Like, if that was made nowadays, like, yeah, it could probably go under some scrutiny.
but then to like
to retroactively say you included
all of these like
Jewish black gay
it's like you're a piece of shit now
like you're like stop pretending you're better than everyone
because you like have the ability to like change your own shit
yep I agree with that
big phony big phony okay
Matt Doug you have as much as the 9-11 guy
but yeah
maybe not as much as that guy
you have any phonies yeah I have a couple
so one is my queen and girl boss Elizabeth Holmes
I love that woman I
so when we had
with Ryan Rissillo on the show,
we did Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes.
That was right before I started watching the dropout,
which is the Elizabeth Holmes documentary with Amanda Seifred.
Holy shit.
This woman is so entertaining and she is so funky.
She is very funky.
Like everything she does,
if you watched the documentary,
there's a scene where she dances to how to love.
Yeah.
And it is so good.
And it's one of those weird things where it's like,
you would only be able to make something like that,
like a scene like that if it was real
like you can't write that kind of shit
um wait who's who's this
Elizabeth Holmes I don't think you were on that
episode for some reason alien have you heard of
Theranos
uh uh
it's you can explain now go for it
it's your phony so Elizabeth Holmes
was a woman um
wait are you saying Elizabeth Holmes is the phony
she's the phony she started a company
called Theranos so she was
a Stanford dropout
um grew up really rich
uh her dad was the VP at
Enron and started this company called Theranos, which was basically like a blood
diagnostic company.
All of it was a lot.
Like literally none of the technology.
She like created quote unquote created technology didn't work.
And she would just, she became a worth $9 billion off of all lies.
Oh, I think I was on that episode.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ryan Rucillo was on it.
It was and she.
And so they made a like limited series off of it that came out recently.
Are you talking about the dance?
Oh, yeah.
The one that she does.
Yeah.
And she was.
The one that she does.
for Sunny or the one that
Yeah
And then there's the other one
When they get the HIV or
Herpes approved
And then they're dancing there too
Yeah
She just would dance
They they when they got their
They're their their herpes testing
Approved
Approved they danced into can't touch this
Yeah
And I've seen the real video of that
That's actually
She also changed her fucking voice
Yeah
She's so great
She carries a fake voice
She talks like this
and she wears bright red lipstick.
Theranos is a...
That sounds like Mantis.
Theranos is a...
It's a company.
You know, we're changing the world
like Steve Jobs.
It's a combination of therapy
and diagnosis.
She thought that she was Steve Jobs.
She did.
Yeah, she only wore black turtlenecks and jeans.
And then when her whole company was
under the microscope
and they were being scrutinized
because they didn't have anything that worked.
Yep.
She came up with the new design.
Like the new logo.
The Edison.
Well, no, no.
The new logo for the company.
The actual company.
Was going to incorporate
like the Hindu principle of like it was
some symbol that they used and she's like
I think I've got this figure out. She got Yoda quotes
plaster all over the office. Do or do not. There is
no try. I love the dance that she does
for Sunny because
in the movie it's an apology
dance. Yeah. Like Sunny is
mad at her. Yeah. And she does an
apology dance for him. Oh and her weird
vest. We should incorporate
an apology dance when people fuck up on this podcast.
Avery has to dance for us. You have to give us
an apology dance. When Billy comes back.
Yeah, Billy owes us one apology dance.
when he returns and it's it's she's and she's so great too because so obviously she did a lot of
bad things jeff mentioned it earlier like she only she fucked with a lot of people's lives and i don't
like that and that's why she's a phony and she's an awful person for that but just the way she
exists is hilarious and then so she was dating sunday valwani who was like 20 30 years her
senior and was he cheated on his wife with her then they like dated for 10 years or something
they broke up.
She got a hot husband and they had a baby.
So she was a fraud.
And they started dating after she was a fraudster.
So this hotter guy was like, yeah, I get it.
I like her little style.
That's how we were talking about.
Like there's always women out there that will write letters to a guy that's on death row.
Well, that's happening right now with that story came out.
Though that was known, but that story came out about Martin Shrelly.
That's how it came out.
Yeah.
yeah yeah crazy that's it's like the opposite that i think guys version of that is just being attracted
to fraudsters and she i love a woman like she just psychos her guys are attracted to anything
that's also true her like her testimony's where she they basically had to be like did you do
all of us and she was like i don't know like she's just like me maybe like she just can't own up
to a single thing i like she's hilarious to me she is she is my girl boss and so i
I love her. She's my favorite phony.
Also, the dropout is such a great show, and it just makes me, like, laugh how great it is.
Ariens giving you this look like, what, what are you talking about?
What?
All of these people that were mentioning, like, we loat.
Oh, I mean, she's an awful, awful person who was awful, awful, awful morals, and did terrible, terrible things.
But my God, is she entertaining?
Like, at the end of the day, like, she's a very entertaining person.
You know what I mean?
Like, I don't agree with her.
I wouldn't do the same thing.
but she like became so fucking rich for it
and she would in the show
they would play certain songs to kind of bring you back
she had a great like catalog of songs
she would play in her little Prius
like it was awesome anyways
so that's my favorite girl boss
also Warren Jeff's I'm watching
Keep Sweet Penel butt
that's where you're losing me calling her a girl boss
She is the girl but she is the penalty
It does sound like you do love her actually
She's a fucking clown man
She's a clown but like I love
I love how crazy town
she is. Like, I don't love her
morals, obviously. You said, I wouldn't do
the same thing, but you're like, but she's awesome.
She's really rich. I enjoy everything about her.
She's very poor now.
Yeah, she's just like her
mannerisms and everything about her
is funny, but not what she did.
That's not funny. That's bad.
So I'm against her, but she's funny.
Anyways, Warren Jeff's, I'm watching
Keep Sweet, Pray, and Obey right now. It's about the
FLDS church. He was
the one that originally got me into cults, which kind of
me to where I am today.
Crazy.
And he's him and I'm going to lump in Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon church, also
big phony.
You don't think that Jesus came back to Earth and like showed up in upstate New York?
Buried a bunch of plates in Missouri.
Yeah.
Like those two both kind of kind of offshut into each other.
So Warren Jeff's was basically the FLDS is an extreme, extreme, extreme sect of Mormonism.
so he kind of got what he
ended up doing from
the original Joseph Smith teachings
just crazy like we all
laugh and like yeah that's fucking silly but like
the start of like every religion
is equally as silly as shit
yeah oh 100%
I think I think in Islam they believe like
Muhammad like flew on a winged
horse like up into the sky
but but the
all of its shit is silly though
the FLDS is
crazy to me because
it's like they isolated their people and you know they don't let them listen to secular things and
read secular things anymore or they didn't oh yeah they're awful awful people and they and just so
much more modern too that's a thing it's like they're so new work and everything else yeah it was it's
like there are still FLDS members right now as we speak and they made I think that's a that's a oh
sorry that's that's that's what that's a Christianity and Islam and jubed and has going for them is
like it's been around for so long so it's harder it's like the game of
telephone like it's hardly to balk after a while right there's no profits in in the 20th century like
come on be real with yourself that's what made the book of mormons so good was like at the end
a new religion got started through this game of telephone right and now they're like worshipping a guy
that we all knew was a phony at the time and they i think they do they kind of recognize it's a phony
that joseph Smith is a phony like i don't think anyone really the Mormons yeah i will say i do know
I know in Austin
I didn't know any Mormon people
until I moved to Texas
and I went to school
with a ton of Mormon people
in Austin
and I know they fucking love
the show
the Broadway show Book of Mormon
I love it
really they love it
I actually there was a
there was this Mormon
like couple on YouTube
that did a series
like talking about the things in it
and they were like
well when they say
you get your own planet
like that's not entirely
exactly how it is
but like kind of
and it was it was pretty funny
the Mormon people that that I know personally are all very nice
yeah their families are all like super nice
usually like very positive influences on the community
I think they do a lot of good things for sure
I think that's all very intentional too like they're very into social media now
are they oh Mormon moms yeah Mormon women actually have like a very big
they have a choke hold on section of social media and it's all like very
intentional by the church.
All about like families and stuff.
It's kind of how.
Well, then they're hot.
They're all really hot.
The Israeli military takes all, because everyone in Israel has to join the military
and they take all the hot women and like make them, their job is just to be on social
media.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm not saying all Mormon people are phonyes.
I'm just saying Joseph Smith just was making shit up.
And then Warren Jeffs is just an awful person who has snuck his way or snuck his way into
being a quote unquote profit for the FLDS and his dad was.
too and oh they're just awful people but i'm also watching if you haven't watched it yet watch
keep sweet pray and obey the phlDS has always been very interesting to me it's the hairstiles
that they put these poor women in is one of the biggest phony things of all time if they got out
they just get clowned and wanted to go back because of how bad their hair is so yeah but
elizabeth holmes is my ultimate phony okay we've got she it's it's the voice for me for her yeah
if you change your voice like that slam dunk phony
yeah everything about her is a slam down she said committed to it too which actually not to not to keep
giving her praise i do kind of respect if you're that psychotic you stick with it even after being
found out as a phony it's like i got to cling on to that one thing so the new the brand new
series on netflix about that girl what was her name the russian slash oh inventing anna delvi
she who is i it's a fascinating story there's disrespect the fact she has a nickname it's the soho
grifter and i wish people would more like she she she was fraud enough to get a nickname we
She'd use the nickname.
The Soho Grifter, fascinating story.
I hate the series, though.
It's horrible.
It's really bad.
It's awful.
I don't like that it makes...
Shonda Rimes can make some really good shit and she can make some real bad shit.
I don't like that the journalist is like the protagonist of everything.
Yeah.
And it's just all the characters feel like their caricatures and it just, it's, it doesn't flow at all.
And it doesn't do justice to the story.
I said it feels like a Muppet movie without the Muppets.
I don't know why.
It's just how it felt.
Yeah, you're right.
Jason Siegel.
Yeah, it just felt like a, like they were all goofy.
Yeah, they are.
And the pacing of it is weird too.
Yeah, it's not a good show.
Really strange.
Now, people hate on the accent.
That is how she sounds like.
But that's what she sounds like.
It's such a bizarre accent.
She was on Call Her Daddy, though.
Billy McFarland is in that show.
Really?
Billy McFarland makes a cameo.
Not the actual guy, like the character Billy McFarland makes a cameo in that show.
Got it.
So does Martin Screlly, yeah.
What did she talk about and Call her Daddy?
And what she did.
and she called daddy's a lot different than when it was at a bar store she's not talking about
her sex life anymore as much now it's like interview style but um she Alex interviewed her from jail
like she had a Skype from jail and she was like so did you do this and she's like no and then
she was like how's your dating life and she's like well it will probably be better when I'm out
of jail there's a big TikTok audio about it that's a good question yeah but yeah no
Alex Cooper and Anna Delve are like this wow they're tight all right well
that was phony's thank you for joining us thank you Jeff yeah happy I'll come back for
Enron yeah we'll do the Enron one that sounds like a good time to me crazy shit with that I'll get us
all shirts oh yeah all Enron merch yeah maybe we'll do like macrodosing by Enron merch
yeah we can use the name Enron right tell me I don't know why are we doing this I'm not sure that'd be
great for the arian in the Houston community that would I'm just saying why why are we
wearing this merch they were pieces of shit too it's a big hipster ironic thing to wear now it's also
very funny that that mad dog is like leading the charge on the in ron merch and she literally has no
idea what in ron did that's probably why i'm leading it because i just think they have a cool logo i have no
idea what they did and ronald forthdenaker being president yeah that's that i mean a governor
excuse me that's crazy that he was governor crazy people don't really talk about that crazy
Gary Coleman ran for governor because of Enron.
Yep.
Thank God he did.
I don't know anything.
Do you know who introduced Arnold when he got elected governor on stage?
No.
Jay Leno.
