Starting point is 00:01:46 mad dog in the studio billy from an undisclosed location billy's chiming in um we're going to play a game called Where in the World is Billy Football. It's funny because on part of my take yesterday, you chose to go with like the Matt Lauer reference as opposed to like Carmen San Diego is right there. You probably should have no idea who that is.
Starting point is 00:02:07 Who's Carmen San Diego? You don't know who Carmen San Diego is? No idea. Does anybody on the show know who Carmen San Diego? I know the name, but I don't know what it is. Boomer? Isn't it like where in the world is Carmen San Diego? Shut the fuck up, Billy. I'm not a boomer. I'm a boomer.
Starting point is 00:02:22 I'm a millennial, okay? And just so you know, if a real boomer was in the room right now, he would see no difference between you and I. He would probably call you a millennial too. I think a millennial is just code for somebody that's younger than you that you don't like. Okay, boom. Shut the fuck up, Billy. So we're going to try to figure out where Billy is.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Where in the world is Billy football? Oh, yeah. Okay, I'll give you a tip. Why do you have a fake background? now because earlier we got a meeting and you didn't have a fake background because I was in an alley because it's complicated I was in an alleyway and people started coming and it wasn't conducive for filming okay so it sounds a little complicated because you're doing a podcast from an alleyway for some reason you got to be a reason for that well I realized that on zoom I can cover up the
Starting point is 00:03:17 background so I'm in a better place so mentally or just physically both so you're not in this country from what I've been told okay two hints I needed a passport to go there okay you could just say yes I'm not in this country I need a passport to go there
Starting point is 00:03:40 and I am not in the EU England yeah that just means you're in England I'm not in England you're in the city of London no I'm not in the city of London Is he in Wales and he's saying it? They also don't speak languages that are my first language.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Oh. So it's English. So it could be English. Italy? You speak Billy. Italy's in the EU. Wait, so he said he needed a passport to get there. And it's not in the EU.
Starting point is 00:04:11 He's in Canada. Are you in Montreal? Nope. I don't think Billy would say not in the EU if he wasn't in Europe. Right. You know, he's in Europe. You're in Andorra, bitch. how the fuck did you know that are you yeah yeah yeah let's go let's go i can smell the and dorian
Starting point is 00:04:31 on you man what the fuck is and dora and dora i've always wanted to go because what the fuck is and dora you're you're in the pyrenees you're up in the mountains i'm pyrenean dude it's it's uh i'm doing this thing so like about two months ago i got a cheap ass uh transatlantic flight way before I knew what the hell we were doing. I just knew that this would be a remote work week. So I got that transatlantic ticket. Yeah, about that, about knowing that this would be a remote work week. When did you figure that out? I'm just curious. I'm here. Big Cat told me. Big Cat told me, apparently. So I hopped on that. So, Billy, please don't lie. I swear to God, asked Big Cat. He was like, we got these two weeks off. It was two months
Starting point is 00:05:21 ago having a discussion with him about something pertinent he will remember okay please don't lie though because like the thing about I am in no position I am in no position like it's been playing for a long time I know it has I know it has I just didn't know that you were leaving the country and so I was just surprised by that because so I also work on part of my take and I'm here he just goes to you today he's like why aren't you in Jersey yeah I thought I was like I thought everyone was just going to be out of town and i'm just the most out of town yeah you are you're out of many towns you win the award for it most out of town no actually uh this it's actually this place
Starting point is 00:06:06 is really cool because it was created as a country to make sure so uh uh king charlemagne uh shout out steely dan was like hey uh we don't want the moors to come invade the holy roman empire so we're just can create a country to be like a decoy like a first line defense to fight off the moors and that's and dora and it is ruled as a principality with two princes and the two princes are uh macron and a catalonian bishop who is like a barcelonian bishop you know the song two princes right is it about and dora no yeah it is probably if you want to leave your job then go ahead now
Starting point is 00:06:53 Billy is on the vacation just go ahead now you know that song no okay so enjoy your time in Andora
Starting point is 00:07:02 seems like an interesting place I'm actually not mad but you also could have done a little bit more prep ahead of time to be like hey just so you know I'm going to be out of the country because I'm still here
Starting point is 00:07:13 still here I will look I mean I knew I was totally ready just to be like up at 2 a.m. and just ready to work whenever, just making sure I had good internet connection. So, I mean, I think we're going to get, I, so I take buses at night.
Starting point is 00:07:30 I take buses at night instead of paying for hotel rooms. So if you take a bus at night, that's too banged out. That's your travel and your stay for the night, just banged out. I might write a blog on the best way to just, like, bum it. Billy, why would you need to get up at 2 a.m.? It's later where you are. Yeah, so, like, we were recording at 8.30 for a part of my takeout. I was going to be up at 2 a.m.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Oh, I see. But we weren't. We were recording early in the afternoon. But you would have. I know. I would have. You would have. On Thursday, if we're up at 8.3 p.m., I will be up at 2 a.m.
Starting point is 00:08:05 I mean. All right. So very cool. Aaron is not here today. Arian had a last minute family emergency that popped up. So we hope he's doing okay. Hope his family's all right. Hope to see him again on, on Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:08:19 have him on nano dosing for Thursday coming out. But we'll just roll with the crew that we have right here today. We might be joined by a special guest. And I didn't know that Billy was going to be out of the office until I found out just earlier that he would be out. So what I did was I tried to book a special last minute guest that I know that Philly's going to be super pissed off if he's not here to see. So we'll see if that guy can come through for a little bit. Also, I have a couple more irons in the fire on future guests. I think you guys are going to be really excited about.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I've been going back and forth with a few folks, and let's just leave it at that. Can you tell us right now and bleep it out? Yeah, yeah, let's bleep it out. Why do women love true crime so much? I'm not a big true crime person to be real. Like, I know who crime junkie is because they're one of the biggest podcasts on planet Earth. Yeah. I'm not, my roommate's obsessed with true crime.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Because I was watching a video a couple nights ago, and it was a woman that was like sitting in her bedroom with like her dog on the bed behind her. and she was like going through this the grisly gory details of a double murder and she was like smiling and like making it kind of sexy she was like and then he walked in with the knife she's like excited to be talking about like and then he used her face as a bowling ball yeah and it's like this is really like fucking gross like somebody actually died and this woman is like mentally excited about it so i don't so oh billy there's some science behind this And I'm sure there is. What kind of are we talking about real science or billy science? No, no. I'm going to pull up the exact science. So I do not get accused of being sexist. Yeah, my roommate, like, falls asleep to true crime podcasts and, like, plays them while she's making dinner.
Starting point is 00:10:03 I'll come home and, like, Ted Bundy videos are on. Mm-hmm. I get scared. I get freaked out and scared that someone's going to break in, especially because I live in a ground floor apartment. And so I'm like, oh, that could happen to me. I like watching some of the interrogation videos. Some of those are really interesting because it shows like the technique that the police used to try to manipulate people. That's not like explaining how Ted Bundy caught his victims.
Starting point is 00:10:30 No, it's not. Right. That's different. Sorry, I was going to say, and then next week we have Colin O'Brady coming in. Yeah, who is that? He's like an insane triathlete. He's the first ever person to conquer the 50 highest peaks in every state. in the United States.
Starting point is 00:10:49 And his new book, The 12-hour walk is like number one bestseller. So I think he'll be really good. Perfect. We can figure out a topic for that. Very cool. Yeah. All right, Billy, what's your science?
Starting point is 00:11:03 So there is a condition called hybristophilia that exists to explain those who are sexually aroused by the object of their affections wrongdoing. so this explains a lot of people who like are pen pals with murderers and who adore serial killers yeah like girls should get obsessed with serial killers okay yeah because in the evolutionary hypothesis is that dangerous males were more likely to survive back in primal times so those dangerous males as a female it was a evolutionary task to try to be involved with them sexually than to not be because then they would not be
Starting point is 00:11:53 impacted by those males' violent tendencies. Now, does this trick? So with that, usually those males would be in social circles with the females and not, you know, like, for example, like famous people didn't exist. But now that famous people exist to kill people, those long-loss evolutionary traits come out in certain women when it comes to serial killers. So it's like keep your friends closer, enemies closer type thing? Yeah. Like if you're, you know, involved with the serial killer, the serial killer won't kill you.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Interesting. Which might not be the same, but they're, this is like a. light version of that of women listening to murderers. I was to say, or like a lot of girls who get like the whole, oh, he's nice to me, but he's mean to everyone else. That's like obviously a heightened situation. Is this why like straight up, I'll admit it, me and KB have a thing for Casey Anthony a little bit? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Is it the flip version of that? Yeah. Maybe. Where it's like she's so crazy and she's such a bizarre, insane liar that it's like a little bit attractive. She's like the worst news ever. Obviously. I mean, she killed her kid. Yeah. But the fact that she just lies about everything. She can't, she can't talk and not lie at the same time. There's just something fascinating about that to me. I'm curious how about Casey Anthony, come on the pod. Oh my God. That episode would do numbers. It would do numbers. Yeah. Official invitation,
Starting point is 00:13:35 Casey Anthony, come on the pod. I just want to talk. I just, I want to hear what kind of crazy shit you'll say. What do you think she's like doing? Like on a day to day, basis now. She's freed, right? Like, I mean, she got away with it. Yeah. Huh. Last I heard she was, she like got kicked out of a bar, which I mean, the hits keep coming that story. Yeah. But like she can't nobody's hiring Casey Anthony. I would I would hire her. She recently opened a private investigation firm in South Florida. You're kidding. Yep. That's what she was up to. Uh, yeah, Casey became a legal investigator for Pat McKenna, investigator who worked on Anthony's case.
Starting point is 00:14:19 I would hire her to be on this podcast. Hmm. Actually, that would whoa. Yeah, whoa. Think of the numbers it would do. Science fair. Science fair with Casey Anthony. This is how you make chloroform.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Stop. She killed her daughter, right? Yeah. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Blinking sign that says allegedly. And is she the one who your parents helped her out? And there was like a trunk of a car involved with D&S? Her mom ended up calling the cops because she hadn't seen her granddaughter in like three weeks or something like that. And she was in the car and she said, this car smells like there's a dead body in it.
Starting point is 00:14:59 And then her dad helped cover it up too. And then at the very last second when they found like the body and saw the duct tape and stuff on it, Casey blamed her dad and said that her dad molested her when she was a kid. and her dad was like, what the fuck? Like, it seemed like it came. I was trying to, yeah. She'll just lie about anything and everything. So I'd just like to, I'd like to have a conversation with her. Come on the pod, Casey.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Dude, how much would it suck if you were helping your daughter cover up a murder? And then she just threw you under the bus. And you're like, oh, my God. Yeah, be like, listen, I helped you cover up a murder of your own child, but I'm not a child. Be grateful. Yeah. Be grateful for what I did for you. Every man has his limits.
Starting point is 00:15:43 I'd be just very interested to talk to her. I'm interested in talking to anybody that's like a compulsive liar. I'm also fascinated with just lie detector tests in general. And if they're actually ever accurate, or if that's just something that a police officer will tell you. Because I feel like they're not accurate at all. It's only accurate on people who don't know how to control their heart rate. So that's everybody.
Starting point is 00:16:09 No, but like they're like people who are very in tune with meditation. and slowing down their heart are able to like basically jinks them do you think you could pass a lie detector test honestly i think that would be great video yeah it would be yes because i definitely cannot you you would but i'd like to try i guarantee you can't like billy's face turns bright red when he lies yeah you can't control your your physical reactions to it but i don't think i don't think anyone can't I feel like even innocent people when they take lie detector test, there's no real upside for it other than to show the cop that you're not afraid to take the test. Like imagine how nervous you'd be if you were, if you hadn't committed a crime,
Starting point is 00:16:53 say something like murder, like it's that serious, you're innocent. And then they put you on a lie detector test asking about it. Like you're going to be nervous. Like your heart rate's going to be going all over the place. So nervous. There's more false positives than false negatives. Yeah. So I was watching this.
Starting point is 00:17:09 I was watching a true crime thing over the weekend. Yeah, so maybe it's not just chicks that are into it. But it was a video about the murder, this guy named Chris Watts. Do you know who he is? Oh, this story. It's the craziest, one of the craziest stories of all the time. Yeah, him and Shanan. So Chris ended up murdering his wife and his two daughters.
Starting point is 00:17:29 And his wife was, she posted everything online because she was like an influencer, like multi-level marketer. She was a Facebook mom. She was a Facebook mom. And so she left like a long digital trail of like videos of her and her family. and her husband ended up having an affair with the lady and then he killed her and then he he was like the worst liar of all time the news came to his house and his whole family was missing he was like yeah you know like if they're out there and they're like not safe like i just want to be safe you know so uh shenan if you can see this like come back you know and it was everybody knew that this guy was lying the entire time but then he took a he took a lie detector test and just absolutely bombed it and it was like he's the worst liar and got got immediately caught but i was thinking to myself if i ever found myself in a position like that where i was innocent i would be getting so mad
Starting point is 00:18:22 at the police for wasting their time talking to me when there's like some monster out there that has my family and he was just like sitting back like trying to think of his answers and stuff it's like this dude is the most most guilty person so i guess it's not just women that like true crime but it is a little bit different when you see somebody getting like real sexy with their description of like a grisly double murder or they make it like asmr they're like hey guys welcome back to crime junkie yeah today we're talking about ted putting she poured gasoline down her children's throats and let it on fire it's like she this is fucking creepy this is weird you should not be excited to talk about this stuff some people get into it some people Nancy grace gets really into it too
Starting point is 00:19:05 but she gets into it where she gets so mad that she gets turned on. That's Nancy Grace's thing. She'd be like, Casey Anthony took her daughter and she tied her up in the trunk of the car. And you can tell her she fucking loves talking about. I think she talked about Casey Anthony
Starting point is 00:19:21 every night for like two years. Her whole show was dedicated to Casey Anthony. The Nancy Grace character in Gone Girl is very good. Have you seen that movie? Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's fascinating. Big T, do you think you could pass a lie detector? test?
Starting point is 00:19:37 I really don't know. Like, I've never, I think so. I think you could too. But I've never done it, so I don't really know. But I, if, yeah, I don't, it feels like something that you'd be so in your own head to be like, okay, you need to stay calm. You need to do this.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Like, that it would backfire. And then you would fuck up. But I think that's you. I think you got ice water running through those veins. You're iced tea. That's true. I think you could pull it off. I don't think Avery could.
Starting point is 00:20:08 I know Mad Dog couldn't. I know Billy couldn't. I don't think I could. Arian, maybe. I don't know. I don't think Arian could either. Well, it has nothing to do. It has nothing to do with like outward expression.
Starting point is 00:20:22 It has to do with meditation and control it. Because that's what it tracks. It tracks your heart rate and your heartbeat and your heart rate variation. So the only people who were able to truly do it, or there's another trick that I saw Mythbusters where to, set the baseline to ruin the baseline, you put a tack in your pocket. And every time you tell a truth, you stab yourself with the tack so that your truth baseline is elevated with an adrenal response. Yeah, it also tracks heart rate and respiratory function too, I think, like you're
Starting point is 00:20:56 breathing. But yeah, I've seen that too, Billy. I also, one of my favorite shows like 10 years ago, 15 years ago, was Penn and Teller's bullshit. Did you guys ever watch that show? It's a fantastic show. I think it was on Cinemax or Showtime, one of those channels. I went to see them one time. They're hilarious. They're very funny.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Yeah, super talented. And they would just take on a different topic each week and explain why it was bullshit. And I think they did one on the lie detector test. And they said, I think they had an expert on there that said kind of what Billy's talking about to throw off the baseline. When you're telling the truth, you just pucker up your butthole real quick. And doing that, it's the same response as fear. So if you puck, everyone out there listening, pucker up your butthole right now, you're scared.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Same as being scared. And so then when you tell the truth, you pucker up. And when you tell a lie, you don't. And they said that that was able to throw it off. But still, I feel like I would not be able to keep my cool in a situation like that if I was actually lying. I actually think that if I was totally innocent and I was taking lie detector test, I'm pretty sure I would feel that too. because I just get nervous and they try to make you feel guilty
Starting point is 00:22:04 about everything totally unrelated but we got to address Ivana Trump okay this sounds like one topic that I want to let Billy Cook on sounds like you put a lot of thought into it
Starting point is 00:22:19 didn't you guys mention her on the Trump episode now she's dead we did we killed Ivana Trump through the podcast it's getting bad through the macadosis it's impossible to ignore now Yeah, we've killed John Madden. Young Dolph, John Madden. Oh, yeah, Young Dolph.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Yeah, Young Dolph was the first one. It's kind of getting scary. Yeah, there's more, too. I just can't think of them right now. Do you have any thoughts on John Madden? RIP. I mean, I feel terrible that we... There's a ton of, there's a crazy amount of deaths.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Tony Serico, Ray Leota. Yeah. Yeah, we did talk about Ray Leota. So, Billy, what's your, what are your thoughts on Ivana? I mean, falling down the stairs for a woman who isn't, who died directly because of the end, I don't know. Were there any owl feathers nearby? I mean, put, like, falling down the stairs and dying, I, like, feel like more often than not. it's it's you know someone pushed them down okay like there's so many cases like think about how many people
Starting point is 00:23:35 you know who fall down the stairs and died like numbers wise like actually i'm gonna whip out a shark fact okay because i was thinking i was you just asked me to think of all the people that i know that have fallen down the stairs and die and i think it's zero well you don't know them but like you hear about them like there like two of my Peterson's wives yeah well no his wife and then the other woman i forget how they were related the she was uh the neighbor that he was a Allegedly having an affair with. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:00 In Germany or wherever. And then there was that, there was another true crime case where a guy pushed his wife down the stairs, but then she didn't, she didn't die. And that was a problem. So he, like, hit her over the head until she did die. I mean, that's, that's probably got to be the worst. Yeah, that's pretty bad. It's a bad way to go out.
Starting point is 00:24:21 I mean, stairs, stairs are, so stairs. So sharks, I mean, here's quick, quick teaser on some shark facts. sharks right bite people definitely right yeah that's ingrained in the conscience that sharks bite people and that's like number probably some of the number one biters and you know pop culture right yeah i'd say sharks are definitely up there i'd see what are some other big biters snakes Mike Tyson yeah snake staff i think snakes are bigger biters than sharks are bears seals Yeah, but they're from arrested development. Pit bulls.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Shark bite is shark, shark, let's go to Google. I'm just going to go. Batts. Ooh, bats. Bats are really big bitters when it comes to like popular culture. Let's look at this. 26 million results for shark bite on Google. Now, let's go dog bite.
Starting point is 00:25:24 307 million results. Okay. So we got dogs. Dogs above sharks. This experiment isn't going as well as I thought. I know what you're saying, though. People talk about shark bites. It is a thing.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Yeah. I think if you look up shark attack, you would see more hits for shark attack than shark bites. True. But so hippos, deer, and cows are more deadly than sharks. Hippos will fuck you up. This is the craziest. well hippos are I mean honestly I know that hippos are the most
Starting point is 00:26:00 dangerous land mammal on earth and probably most dangerous mammal on earth but it's Jen Pop doesn't know that Billy's looking down on you with his superior facts right now
Starting point is 00:26:15 no but you're more likely to get bitten by a New York City person just a person in New York City than you are sharp Big T agrees oh that's absolutely true there are more bites in New York City per capita than there are shark attacks in the world. That's why I don't mess with the ocean. I tempt fate every day walking out on the street.
Starting point is 00:26:36 I don't need to add any additional, you know, anything to that. Yeah, people, so people talk a lot more about shark bites. It's not as big a problem as we make it out to be. But Billy's right. I actually, I texted Billy the other week because I was, I was having a debate with somebody and I needed an animal expert. So I said, there's not an animal on earth that could beat up a hippo, right? Hi, hippo is number one. Yeah, 100%. Maybe elephants, elephants. Maybe a charging bull elephant, maybe.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Yeah, sometimes bull elephants and musks beat up in musk, which is a whole different level. That's like berserker elephants. They're like so horned up. They have like literal testosterone leaking out of their ears in this black. tar substance and it's called musk and they go must actually and they go so hard that they kill bull
Starting point is 00:27:31 black rhinos like giant black rhinos and but I don't think they've ever messed with hippos. Let me go to my safari videos.com which has some of the best database um elephant versus hippo
Starting point is 00:27:47 hippos are nasty I don't think like I don't think any predator on earth could mess with the hippo. Elephants just from a weight class perspective. Oh, they go hard. Okay, so rhinos pussy out when they're encountering elephants, but hippos fight back.
Starting point is 00:28:07 That's some boss hog shit. Yeah, it is some boss hog shit. The Romans say what you want about them. They did a lot of fucked up stuff. But the idea of having these animals fight each other, I know it's technically not cool, but on the other hand, it's very cool. I mean, I, like, if I make the Coliseum, I, the atmosphere at the Coliseum is probably one of the greatest sporting events ever. Like, the crowd at the Coliseum, like, think about it.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Like, it was probably the roar of the crowd at the Coliseum probably puts any football game, any sporting venue today to absolute shame. Yeah, I would say it's like LSU Night Game might be up there. maybe maybe when the Steelers play Renegade do you think they had a band that was in the Coliseum that was like playing their equivalent the Roman equivalent of Renegade to get people fucking hyped up for the bear
Starting point is 00:29:04 against like the tiger just imagine whatever was happening at Michael Vick's compound times the size of the Coliseum yeah that was the crowd that was the crowd man that does sound like it would be an intense atmosphere you think they definitely
Starting point is 00:29:20 sold beer, right? They had no wine, you know, they had a wine guy walking up and down the stairs with like a bag of Franzia. Oh yeah, they had bags, literal bags. They were probably guts of pigs and stuff, but they were bags of wine. They were bladders of wine. They were slapping the bladders. Yeah. The Coliseum only held 50,000 people. That's, that's weak. Yeah, it's not big, but I think that would be 13th in the SEC. I think Vandy has 45 and everybody else is like 70 plus it just means more that is facts
Starting point is 00:29:54 I guess it'd be 14th because Fandy would slide down to 15 it sat it sat that many people but there was hell of people in the stadium because it was just open to everybody they didn't take tickets
Starting point is 00:30:05 yeah standing room only probably had a large crowd like an observation all right let's be generous and call it 75 well they've probably also had like an outdoor area where the people that couldn't get in
Starting point is 00:30:16 you'd have some dude in a robe standing up just like just telling them what was happening inside. 75,000 people show up to a Tennessee game. They're like, wow, look how empty the stadium is. Yeah, that's true. The Coliseum, I'm calling out the Coliseum. I think it wasn't that great. You're saying that Rome was a bad sports town. Yeah. Well, I mean, they may have sold out their stadium and that's great, but like your stadium is weak. Yeah. Yeah, they're like
Starting point is 00:30:44 Buffalo. Buffalo's never won anything. Was it was it designed though? Does it have like the the Seattle features to keep the sound in. So like it seems louder down on the playing field. Did they have a decibel meter back then? For sure. It was just a guy like standing with his arm pointing once it got like loud. This says 50,000 at its
Starting point is 00:31:04 maximum capacity. I bet people were fucked up in the crowd. Like absolutely torn up. Oh, you imagine. Gamble. Yeah, you're going to like a lion fight. Is anybody in the crowd sober? No. Like even the kids are fucked up for this. Oh, the kids are so fuck though and also uh the craziest thing was at the the events like the first they used to gamble on
Starting point is 00:31:25 it there was there's tons of records of people gambling during the coliseum fights and i like if i could go back in time i would go to the coliseum and watch what the hell was going on there because you know how like it must have been ridiculous and if if this world goes a shit and there's an apocalyptic scenario and civilization crashes and like we're in this like mad max scenario like I'm setting up a civilization just to import all the zoo animals and create a new colosseum. Because there's no rules.
Starting point is 00:31:58 There's no rules and the people will be happy if there's games. I just thought of Mincy taking the Barstool Sportsbook to the Coliseum. Oh man, we're going to put out
Starting point is 00:32:07 some tremendous content. It's going to be incredible. Milk. Man, I love gladiators. Mitzie in a robe in a tunic would be such a good look Maybe like maybe like an olive Like olive branch crown that he's wearing around There's definitely a picture of Mincey in a robe
Starting point is 00:32:33 A hundred percent from college Do you have any Toga pictures from college This is he's actually going to pop up and be like Oh, yeah, this is me, LSU, Ole Miss, 87, King of the Coliseum. What would the promo code be? Bacchus, baby, Bacchus. Yeah, promo code Bacchus.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Oh, my God. Roman swapsed. We're here to. Oh, my God. We may need to send him to Rome. Yeah, I think so. Oh, my God, I would love that. I would love.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Billy's right. We need a Coliseum. Yeah. We could even do it virtual reality now. I know it wouldn't be the same. But I'd still like to, I'd like to understand what it was like to be in that environment. Because Big T, yeah, it might not have been the biggest crowd, but I feel like it's definitely the drunkest crowd. Well, now we can build one of good scale and quality. Yeah. Yeah, we can build a giant one. Yeah. We'll have 150,000 seed Coliseum.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Like in Bristol? This has a Bristol race track. Yeah. Hell, just convert Bristol. Yeah. It's the biggest thing I've ever seen. Take that and make it the Coliseum. What's the- They literally, they used to flood the Coliseum and have sea battles. They're like, yo, just having a bunch of dudes fight each other isn't enough.
Starting point is 00:33:58 We're going to recreate naval warfare in a stadium. Have we done anything that cool in the modern era? Would they put, would they put like cannons on the ships? they would do Roman naval warfare they would fill up the Coliseum with you know 10 or 15 feet of water get real big ass boats in there and make them fight that seems incredibly dangerous for the spectators
Starting point is 00:34:24 I mean who even like that's insane yeah I'm obsessed with the Coliseum I wish I wish Aaron was here he was actually at medieval times I don't know if you guys saw that I wish he was here because he was like there were videos of him like fighting with the swords and he got his ass kicked
Starting point is 00:34:44 really arian was fighting what with his not like in the in the show but like outside with his kids yeah they just kicked his ass dude medieval times is so much fun it's the best it really is I feel bad for people that don't like medieval times I've never been you got oh you would love it
Starting point is 00:35:00 you have to be able to turn that part of your brain off that makes you think too hard about anything and you just they assign you or knight to root for So like there's a black and white night There's a green night there's a red night And depending on what section you're in they're like Okay you're cheering for the red night tonight And before you know it you're like fuck yeah
Starting point is 00:35:17 I'm red night till I die Yeah like the green night's a bitch I fucking hate the green night It just it washes over you And then they serve you like a giant ass turkey leg There's some stew that comes out All the medieval stuff like a Pepsi You get flagons of ale
Starting point is 00:35:33 Yeah it's incredible Dinner and a show man all right we need to jousting jousting's low key mid well I don't think it's low key mid I think it's like real jousting
Starting point is 00:35:46 like jousting like where someone would get a sword through their face no it's a it's a lance meet a wood and it's mid compared to gladiator battles wait no no no no real jousting was they had like a sword and they'd chop your head off no real jousting was with wood and poles
Starting point is 00:36:05 most of the jousters would die from splinters They wouldn't die from the impact Of getting hit with a wooden rod And falling off a horse Yeah because the rod would always splinter and shatter It was more of the I mean in real
Starting point is 00:36:22 In real warfare They would just lance each other with like a spear But jousting was That was there like play things And it would just be a wooden A wooden pole basically though but oh that's lame
Starting point is 00:36:38 yeah kind of mid nowhere close to gladiator battles I mean they are coming fast enough that like it would still fuck you up but it would fuck yeah no I mean oh 100% would fuck you up
Starting point is 00:36:52 but like if we're talking when there was basically no rules and they're doing jousting like come on yeah come on all right now you just got me thinking about the animal fights in the Colise and just imagine the atmosphere.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Let's do some matchups. I would want to organize hippo, large, gigantic polar bear. I think that's the only thing that could match a hippo. What's the temperature? Besides an elephant. That's going to make a big difference. Like the polar bears, they're built for playoff weather.
Starting point is 00:37:27 The hippos, like, I feel like if it's 20 degrees outside, the hippos, you might get fucked up. They're a dome team. Yeah, I was just going to say, We have to go to Green Bay in January. We might even have to go further. Like, are we going to put a retractable roof on the Coliseum on the new Coliseum? No, I think you have to play in the elements.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Okay. It's all about nature. It's like Lambeau. Yeah. I think every football and baseball stadium built in America now should have a retractable roof. Yeah. That's such a Southern take. That is such a Southern take.
Starting point is 00:37:55 That's a big Kurt Warner take. That's like a, that might reignite Civil War Southern take right there. You are against Snow football? Yeah. If the Civil War was played inside, the South might have won. Who wants to? You want to go sit out in 11 degrees and a foot of snow and make the game like as sloppy as possible
Starting point is 00:38:18 where it just completely randomizes the winner? It's kind of fun. That's what's cool about football. That's where upsets happen. That's when grit comes out. And you get to see something that you've never seen before. So we went up to that Buffalo game where the wind was going like 50 miles an hour in warmups.
Starting point is 00:38:35 And kickers couldn't make an extra point because the ball was just getting knocked down. Yeah, also, note, I did not say every stadium. I said everyone that's getting built. So all the new ones? Yes. But then eventually, if you're spending $1.5 billion on a stadium anyway, put a roof on it. I disagree. Baseball and football.
Starting point is 00:38:54 I like that take big tea. I disagree. I like the, I like the, I like the, I like the, I like the, I love the randomness of weather when it comes to sports. It's fun. It's fun. like watching a big 10 game when it's cold as shit outside all the linemen aren't wearing sleeves because they're pretending that they're not cool all of this will still exist no but then every there will have to be a new stadium for every team built eventually so you're just you're slowly
Starting point is 00:39:18 getting rid of it i'll half retract that i think baseball is a bad take baseball stadiums are like built different than football stadiums like football stadiums like the usually like a specific oval whereas like baseball stadiums not always the same shape and you'd You got the skyline in the background. Yeah, I mean, there's plenty of different roofs at baseball stadiums. I don't know. I think I like the look of baseball stadiums without roofs. It is sick when you see a ball hit into the night sky.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Yeah. And you see like the white ball. That's just kind of cool. Also, wind in baseball, that plays a big, big difference. Again, they are retractable. You can leave it open. But you wouldn't if there was any sort of inclement weather, if you had the retractable roof. That's the point, yes.
Starting point is 00:40:04 I don't know I like the idea of having open air stadiums I really do especially in football when it's raining dude snow football you realize what you're doing right now you're canceling snow football fine
Starting point is 00:40:17 no that's not fine snow football is the fucking also again no I'm not all the places that it snows like Lambo is not getting torn down anytime soon I'm just saying man be careful what you wish for
Starting point is 00:40:30 because if every game is played in a dome then every game looks like an Atlanta Falcons game, and nobody wants that. Now, that's true. Yeah. It just breeds lazy football. Agreed. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Execution and perfectionism becomes the level of the Atlanta Falcons. Like having the team that just won the Super Bowl plays in the dome. Yeah, but having a little bit of randomness is good, I think. It makes you, it forces your coaches to be more creative. It forces players to be more creative. I mean, LaShawn McCoy. was a great running back, but if it wasn't for his snow games, he would be just known as a great running back. Instead, he's known as like the all-time snow guy, which is a very cool
Starting point is 00:41:13 thing to have. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. That will still exist. All I said was if you're building a new stadium and you're spending that much money on it, put a roof on it so that if it's 110 degrees playing baseball, you can close it, or if it's raining, or if it's snowing playing football, you can close it. I think we keep the Coliseum open air. I think we have to. We have to make the elements be a part of this. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Well, actually, now that I'm thinking about it, it never snowed in Rome back then. Are you sure about that? You check the weather reports? I mean, there was never a heavy snow. There was volcano ash. Great point. Okay, so the river, the river Tiber only froze in four years during a, ancient road 398 to 396 271 in 177 all bc okay but you probably still had some occasional
Starting point is 00:42:12 snow some flurries just didn't get cold enough to freeze entire river yeah i mean how about that dude in pompey you know um if you go take a tour of pompey they show you all people that are covered up with ashes and they're frozen in time there's one guy that's just jacking off and they they're like check this guy out. He was jacking off when the volcano happened. And so he's just frozen time with his hand on his dick. It's very fun. Pompeii
Starting point is 00:42:39 huge. It was like Solomon Gumora. There was tons of there's tons of pornographic ruins in Pompeii. Yeah. They had like huge orgies back in the day. Yeah. If you go to the baths, it was just people fucking everywhere. Like open. Yeah. It was like, I'm going to go to the bath.
Starting point is 00:42:58 People treated going to orgies like they treat shaving. It was like, okay, before work today I'm going to stop by the bath fill up my holes then they get blow off some Steve yeah then I got an important meeting but everybody look up that picture of the jacking off guy
Starting point is 00:43:14 in Pompeii it's very funny feel bad yeah it's actually it's actually featured there's tons of the Pompeii stuff featured in my tourist falls and volcano blog on barstoresports.com if you want to check it out tons of visuals of all the crazy stuff in Pompeii
Starting point is 00:43:30 all right low plug I like curated a good amount of those photos if you're really looking for that guy was just finishing yeah he's got like a tissue in one hand I the thing is he probably wasn't he probably was like
Starting point is 00:43:46 there's probably rigor mortis from the burning it could just like ah it could be that or it could just be a natural human reaction if you're getting covered in fire like protect your balls like grab your balls it's like when somebody's shooting a soccer ball at you your hands go down there might be the same thing the thing is about all those
Starting point is 00:44:06 dudes is i think they died of obnoxious gases before the the all the dust covered them like the carbon monoxide yeah because all the carbon monoxide came out of the volcano and since carbon monoxide is dead i might be right but one of the not gases that kills you is uh denser than air so when it came out of the volcano it went on the you know on the land under the air and there was like a good like five feet or like seven feet of whatever the toxic gas was like gas all of them basically and since that trickled out uh it just came in in a wave and there's no air and they couldn't get out probably a pretty bad way to go out i would say um so yeah So people were killed initially by falling debris, houses collapsing, and then the city was hit by a particularly gassy pyroclastic surge,
Starting point is 00:45:10 which was responsible with the greatest number of fatalities. So if you didn't get hit by boulders and stuff from the blow, you're killed by the gassy pyroclastic surge. Gastrope, that sounds like somebody puked on you. Yeah. Choking on someone else's vomit. All right. Mother Nature's Farts.
Starting point is 00:45:31 All right. Well, that does it with our Roman talk for the week. I'm very interested to know if anybody has any insight as to what the crowd looked like. They never did the wave. Never. They're a good sports town. Well, maybe they've filled it up with water. Big T.
Starting point is 00:45:46 What are you teed off about this week? I know you got something. I sure do. I don't remember where I saw this. I think it was a TikTok. It was a TikTok. It was some, your classic. Gen X kid, you know what he looks like,
Starting point is 00:46:02 saying, you know, if they had just taught us about how to do taxes in school and this, that, and the other, and shit that mattered instead of what, then maybe like our economy wouldn't be crumbling and I wouldn't have, just blaming all of his problems on the world. And first of all, if you don't know how to log into TurboTax and put in your information and how,
Starting point is 00:46:29 have them do it for you, you have much bigger problems than what they taught you in school. You probably weren't paying much attention to begin with. I never thought I'd see Big T taking the side of the IRS. Well, it's theft, but the point stands that if you shouldn't complain about how difficult it is. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's, well, kind of, but like if you can't figure out how to do that, your problems don't end there.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Like, you probably could have, you weren't the, the, the, the, the, straight-day student. Okay, so I know what you're saying. If you have a standard W-2, taxes should not be that complicated. But if you're a freelancer and you work for yourself, maybe, or if you own your own business. This guy didn't own a business. If you're a TikToker, if you're a TikToker and you have all this money being paid out, I mean, taxes get complicated when you're not just getting a W-9. Are you saying this, W-2? Are you saying this because the state of West Virginia took all your money? It's not as easy
Starting point is 00:47:30 as you think, Big Tee. The only people who really know how to do taxes are those not the tax consultants, but what are they called? You do people's taxes and like CPAs? Yeah, CPAs are the only people in America who actually know how to do tax. You don't have to know the ins and outs of the tax code to log into TurboTax.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Right, but TurboTax also doesn't, won't do as much as a CPA will do. And a CPA is literally the only people in the country who actually know how to do taxes and take advantage of everything to make sure that you had a whole litany of other things that he was complaining about too that was just the one that stuck out to me also i'm sure this isn't the place everywhere the state that i went to high school and you had to take a personal finance class to graduate high school oh not us definitely not us tennessee had you like balance a checkbook yeah you did all sorts of stuff it was a lot of dave ramsie videos dave ramsie scared me for a while it's why i still don't have a credit card
Starting point is 00:48:28 Um, I think that's a good idea, though. I do think that that school should teach you real applicable stuff. What specific things do you think that school should teach you that they don't? It's a good question. Um, I don't know. Do you think there are, I mean, I don't think like a public high school is necessarily the place that should like, impart wisdom of life upon you. Like, oh my God. Are you kidding me, Vixie?
Starting point is 00:48:58 what what's the point of education well like there are things that you need to learn in a school and there are things that you can and should learn elsewhere like i don't think a public high school is the place that should like teach you anything philosophy well sure no you can do that that's like an educational subject but billy i'm saying you go to school to do things that are to do with school and then you can learn other things elsewhere it's not like the end all be all what was the point of school what's the point of school to prepare you for the real world i mean i think there is various writings on the origin of what school is to be and it's to become a better member of society and i think that was one of the greatest uh i think when they were
Starting point is 00:49:48 lobbying for universal schooling for children especially in america i remember reading about it in england because it was in a horrible history book but there was so many vagrant children running around who weren't in school who are on the streets, committing crimes, and that they weren't then becoming productive members of society. And like the reason they made sure everyone went to school and developed a public school system was to ensure that people were productive members of society and were able to contribute and function in a society with tools they learned in school. Well, so then the onus is on you to tell me what things should be taught in school.
Starting point is 00:50:28 I think anything that helps someone become a better functioning member of society. I mean, I think that's actually more of a conservative ideal for to like to like I think what I'm arguing for is way more Republican that children should be trying to become productive members of society and fall into conform. I mean, yeah, I'm not. I don't disagree with you. I'm just saying like, okay, you're taking away time for math. What are you teaching instead?
Starting point is 00:50:58 Well, you're not taking away time from math, per se. Like, for example, personal finances and taxes all have math applied to it. And if you do building blocks of math and then end up getting into something that deals with complex math, percentages, returns, deductions that all involve simple arithmetic division percentages. I mean, I don't think that's taking away from that. That's in school some places. So what's something that's not in school that? I'm curious to know how mandatory government education is a conservative idea. Yeah, public schools shouldn't exist.
Starting point is 00:51:40 I'll get that take off right now. You don't think they should exist at all? No. Why? Why don't believe like the federal government should really exist, so. Okay. So let's take that out a little bit further. If there's no government-run schools, where do people go to school?
Starting point is 00:51:56 school. You can have private schools. You can educate your own children. How do you pay? If you don't have a job that makes you wealthy, how would you pay for your children to go to school? I don't know. So if you're poor, your kids are fucked. Would that come with reduced taxes? Yeah, sure. We'll make the people that are earning $22,000 a year pay like 4% taxes. They still can't afford to send their kids to school. I just don't. You have to have school. I feel like I'm in, am I the only one that.
Starting point is 00:52:29 No, I don't think that's a big lib take on my part. I don't know that you do really. That's a awful. Kids should go to school. Put that on a quote card. PFT says kids should go to school and then big T says fuck them kids. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:46 Okay. I mean, school sucks. Don't get me wrong kids. Like I fucking hate school. It sucks. It's not fun. But you should go.
Starting point is 00:52:55 You need. Sometimes things aren't fun. Like you've got to do things. You know what's crazy? Isn't it crazy that words, letters, writing is just you see symbols and it causes you to hallucinate sounds and images in your head. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Okay. Now we're talking. Let's get into it. Mad dog. I just think about reading. Yeah, no, that's exactly really. If you look at Chinese characters and they are little pieces of art, but those tiny little pieces of art, mean words to them that they're just, mean words to them.
Starting point is 00:53:25 they then hear in their brain, and then they verbalize. I don't think we should let Big T off that easy by getting onto the hallucinogenics that are words. I think we should stay on this for a second. I think in this case, this is one of those instances where I think even Big T knows that he's full of shit, where school should exist. Public school shouldn't exist. Well, then how do kids go to school? Educate your own children. Well, okay.
Starting point is 00:53:48 But you have to work. So let's go with that. So Big T, let's say that a family is not able to afford to send their kids at school. so they stay at home every weekday and they teach their kids now they have even less money so now they can't feed their kids now they're going to have the smartest kid in the world
Starting point is 00:54:05 that doesn't have any rice that dies of starvation they have more money because they're not paying taxes I don't know I haven't fleshed this out fully so they've got 2% more money of their $22,000 so they've got they've got an extra like
Starting point is 00:54:18 they've got an extra like $700 a year no big team you know what's going to happen child labor is going to come back that's that's what happens it's child labor yeah that's that's what happens that's when children don't go school their parents who cannot afford to send them the school end up
Starting point is 00:54:35 I don't think I don't think we should prohibit any group of people in this country who wants to work from working okay so what about what about police stations Big T should they not exist there should be a well that wouldn't be covered by the
Starting point is 00:54:51 there should well the role of government should be to protect its people so yeah the military and police should exist. Fire departments? Yeah, that's protecting people. That's fine. But then making sure that kids learn things, that's not protecting its people. I don't think that falls under the purview of the government.
Starting point is 00:55:05 Wouldn't you say that it's better to have an educated population than a completely uneducated population? Yes, but that doesn't mean that you should have to pay for it. You just want hordes of dumb poor people running around. That's exactly what I want. That's not what I want. I think you need to consider the ramifications have not. educating poor people. Why is an educated population good? A population that is better educated
Starting point is 00:55:31 has less unemployment, reduced dependence on public assistance programs, and greater tax revenue. Well, that's proven to be completely false. What? No, it's not. It's, Big T, the more educated you are, the less likely you are to need assistance. Yeah, on an individual basis, but on the whole, that's also, that doesn't. Also, the more educated you are, the less likely you are to have unwanted children that then will grow up to be poor and uneducated because there are no schools for them then they'll have a million kids you realize that like what you're describing right now is the very difference between developing countries and developed countries you're not wrong I know because school has a lot to do listen I don't want to be in the place of defending school
Starting point is 00:56:17 because school was I didn't like school I just did enough to get a diploma no new taxes but you're you see the benefit of school. How could you have high school football and then college football? Good point. And then pro football if school didn't exist. The NFL would suck. Well, public school wouldn't exist. There would still be plenty of schools. Would would poor people get like a voucher to go to private schools in your? From who? The government. Like the city government, like the local government. So in big I don't know. You could maybe like that's what happened in Ohio. Like the private schools would have, they would have like official donors that would serve as talent scouts that would go to super poor communities and be like, this kid is fast. So I will pay for him to get an education at my school because he's so fast. And then you are literally describing how collegiate athletics.
Starting point is 00:57:15 I know in a way that I am. But at the same time, there's still a certain base level of education that you get for free up to 12th grade. And then if you want to go to college, then a lot of that dynamic. does come into play, where they're like, okay, we're going to give this person an opportunity because they're athletically gifted. And the guys that aren't are the girls that aren't, well, tough shit for you, you're not going to be able to afford to go to college. PFT is just having the college recruiting process start in kindergarten.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Yeah, well, that's what Big T is advocating for. And you're just, yeah. And I'm saying, I think, I think six-year-old should learn how to read. Hot take from PFT today. I think that, it's going to be like, yeah, it's a good thing for society. if 90% plus of her population understands how to read. It's like Frank. I didn't say get rid of school.
Starting point is 00:58:00 No, but you do understand that means getting rid of school for a large majority of the United States. We could maybe work something out like you said. Like it doesn't have to be prohibitively expensive to go to a private school, but school shouldn't be run by the government as well. So how do you keep it from being prohibitively expensive, Big T? I don't know. I'm not in the government. Oh, my God. But Big Cian, you know what's going to happen? I'm an idea guy.
Starting point is 00:58:25 You know what's going to happen? You're going to have like Mick, Mick School, McDonald's school. And McDonald's is going to just start training children to work in McDonald's. And yeah, Amazon school. And these kids are just going to get educated by corporations who are going to be like, we could have to seriously. Well, luckily those corporations aren't influencing the government at all right now who's currently educating the children. I don't think Jeff Bezos is like forcing kids to learn how great Amazon is. Yeah, they're not like using...
Starting point is 00:58:53 You don't think they're developing contracts with school districts to put Amazon tablets and shit in schools so that kids grow up seeing the Amazon logo everywhere. No, I think that that's definitely... There's some truth to that for sure. Like, you get contracts with local governments and then your brand expands. I think that's definitely true,
Starting point is 00:59:11 but that's also very different than having Jeff Bezos run schools and he's just training his drone army of children to grow up to learn how to use that. forklift for his warehouses. That's not what would happen. But, I mean, I feel like Amazon's more chasing government contract money with putting their stuff in schools. I like the idea of mixed school, though.
Starting point is 00:59:35 It sounds like a great school. It's just Ronald McDonald being like, hey kids. You know, there is a big hamburger. There is a place called Hamburger University. It's in Chicago. And I think it's also, it's international now. So I'm pretty sure there's one in Tokyo. Tokyo might be one in London.
Starting point is 00:59:55 There was one in Moscow. They shut down the one in Moscow after the war started, unfortunately. But Hamburger University, you have to work for McDonald's, I think, and then you apply to get into Hamburger University. And if they let you in, it's like a leadership training thing. And you're almost guaranteed to be a very successful franchise owner for McDonald's and like move up in the corporate structure if you attend and graduate from Hamburger University. and here's a fun fact about Hamburger You
Starting point is 01:00:22 their acceptance rate is more exclusive than Harvard No fucking way Yeah it's harder to get into Hamburg University than is to get into Harvard Check it out That might be inflated like they make every manager Hamburger University It's less than 1% of Apple
Starting point is 01:00:43 1% get in Less than 1% get in Oh my God That was only a Shanghai, Shanghai's Hamburger University. I would love to go to Hamburger University just for a day. Just let me audit a class at Hamburger You. Does anybody let you sit in? Yeah, I want to sit in on the secret sauce class.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Like, here's how you, here's how you pipe up a Big Mac. Well, there's a guy in TikTok now who's like showing how to make it. He used to work at McDonald's. Oh, he's spilling the sauce? He's spilling the sauce. What is it? I feel like it's Thousand Island dressing with a little bit extra mayo. I didn't watch the video exactly,
Starting point is 01:01:21 but there's a guy he was like their executive chef or whatever. He's spilling the beans. Wow. He's going to get sued or get killed. Ronald's going to choke him out. That'd be a great true crime episode. Listen, y'all are shitting on me. There's some think pieces on this.
Starting point is 01:01:35 On Eliminate Schools? From the Atlantic. Notably. The Atlantic also has conservative writers. Not many. Not many. Is that Jemel Hill? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:46 No, that's athletic. No, no, no. She works for the Atlantic. Oh, yeah, I always get them confused. I don't know. I'm just, I'm just fleshing some things out. There are things, you can find a think piece about anything online. Anything.
Starting point is 01:01:58 There are no new thoughts. I'm trying to think of what the last new thoughts somebody has ever expressed was. Our word hallucinations. Yeah, that was a new thought. All right, so back into that. Oh, wait, wait, maybe you guys hate poor people. Public school increases the cost of housing. Cities create zoning restrictions to prevent low-cost housing in order to ensure no one
Starting point is 01:02:19 can pay less in property taxes than the cost of their children's education. This exacerbates housing shortages and prevents innovation like tiny homes that could allow lower cost housing. So you're in favor of tiny homes. I have no idea. I'm in favor of the rent being too damn high. That's what I'm in favor of. It is too damn high right now. So yeah, maybe maybe I'm the bad guy for thinking that poor kids should learn how to do math. Another common big T win. Yeah. Damn. I've been outflanked by Big Tea once again. Don't you hate it when that happens?
Starting point is 01:02:53 I do. I very much do. So that's really, that was teed off. Big T's teed off about kids. Also, they get free lunch at school. That's important. A lot of these kids don't get meals otherwise. Chocolate milk. Chocolate milk. Did you guys ever have milk bags? No. Oh, I've seen that. Yeah, for a hot second, they tried to convince us that we should be drinking our milk out of bags. So it's been a thing up in Canada for a long time. And Mexico. They tried to introduce it to the United States back in, I'd say 95, 96, sometime around there. And it's these little pouches, these little plastic pouches of milk.
Starting point is 01:03:28 And they shipped them to our schools and they made us watch instructional videos on how to drink milk out of the bag. Milk bag is just another term for tits. Yeah. They felt like tits. Yeah. You know, they look like Elon Musk with his shirt off. Yeah. That picture is insane.
Starting point is 01:03:45 So you have to hold up this pouch of milk. and you put pressure on it so the plastic wrapping gets real tight and then you take a pointy straw and you just jam it through real quick and they told us in the instructional video whatever you do don't blow them up with air after you're done drinking
Starting point is 01:04:02 and then pop them and we're like okay well obviously we're going to do that thank you for the good idea and we had them for I don't know maybe like a month and then the schools just gave up they're like these suck kids are just spilling milk everywhere this is a bad idea
Starting point is 01:04:16 we're not at the high level of hand-eye coordination that the Canadians are. So they sent us back to the cartons. Milk spills were tough in middle school because you would get like the brown paper that they would use to clean up and it just wouldn't do anything. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. A bathroom toilet paper. Didn't do it. Yeah. Awful. Not the least absorbent material. It's government paper. Yeah. They buy the cheapest shit. So you think it'd be better if it was just all private and some kids would have no paper and then other kids would have just. just like silk handkerchief.
Starting point is 01:04:50 I don't think schools would go away. No one's saying that. We're saying that people who can't access private education would no longer be able to. Private education would look drastically different. Right. So are you saying like corporations would pop up that are that would start like preschools? No, I'm saying people with all this money they now have that they aren't spending in taxes could educate their children more effectively and in a way that they see fit.
Starting point is 01:05:13 I don't think you're understanding how much less money they'd have. Like it's not just individuals Like Everyone would pay less in taxes Yeah you pay less in church Wouldn't that cause inflation big day That's Catholic school Billy Everybody has more money at the same time
Starting point is 01:05:30 We have inflation now who cares I'm just like 15% You're having some very pro-brandin like takes today No No I don't know I'm just I'm anti-government You're just thinking out of
Starting point is 01:05:42 I don't think public schools Shouldn't exist is more egregious than the federal government government shouldn't exist. What about a library? You think library should exist? Absolutely not. Oh, God. Why have people gotten like anti-library recently? It's just a collection of books. You know, it's so bad about a library. You read it and then you learn new stuff. The internet's paid by tax dollars in a way, too. How do you think? The library is subsidized by Al Gore. Okay. I mean, the United States government did have a lot to do with the creation of the internet. Yeah, I'm sure. Something that massive, the U.S. government would insert themselves into it.
Starting point is 01:06:16 subsidizing the research and development that goes into it. That part's not a lie. It's not Al Gore being like I invented the internet. Right. But now it's not like, you know, there's no tax dollars in the preservation of the library or with a librarian. Not to the best of my knowledge. They're just, they're just like nerds. They're, they're harmless kind nerds for the most part. I didn't say I hate anyone who works in the library. They're, they're all about the Dewey Decimal system. Yeah. And that's their true passion. Yeah, they just, they care about having books and then they care about letting other people read their books. That's, that's all really good people. I don't know why they were the original admins. The librarians are the original admins. Yeah, it's like a giant
Starting point is 01:07:02 chat room. I've spent way too much time. So the library was the first place I discovered the internet. That was, like, that was when my brain just got like, like opened my brain and just dump information into my brain and that was when I discovered the library I was like the Beatles smoking weed for the first time Billy walked into a library everything I had I had my New York public library card
Starting point is 01:07:29 with the lion on it and I went in I could get unlimited internet access so I could tell my parents who limited my screen time like yo I'm going to the library after school you can pick me up late I'll be in the library in that library reading and on the internet at just Googling the craziest shit.
Starting point is 01:07:48 Yeah, I love that. I love that. Your parents are probably so proud of you. They're like, our Billy is a real bookworm. And Billy's just like on Duck, Duck Go, typing in boobs. I believe his mom did tell us that he loved books as a kid. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:04 So she thought. Right. Yeah, you just love the library. I was just Googling, who would win? Billi. Billy's playing that like. I still haven't found. Billy's playing the intergalactic pinball game that came on every single Windows computer.
Starting point is 01:08:20 It's like, Billy, you really had a great day of reading today. I'm very happy for you. The library created Billy. Yeah. I had the best games on the internet were on mini clip. And I recently just like stumbled upon the mini clip logo and just hit me with so much nostalgia. Like, Commando, Club Penguin on the run. Snow line.
Starting point is 01:08:42 All those flat. Yeah. All those flash. player games that were just wiped from the internet i i think that's a deep state they wanted people be more productive at work so they got rid of all the flash player games do those not exist anymore nope i can't play snowline right now is that was it snowline or santa line something like that yeah santa line like if you if you look out like on the run was one of the best flash player games ever ffx runner on addicting games it's the same game um oh no fake news i got it oh you got it yeah
Starting point is 01:09:14 a lot of the flash games the original ones aren't around can you play it on a mac there's an ad going right now but i think it should come up in a second it might not it might be like this isn't supported anymore addicting games was a great place to kill time though i used to go there during class in high school i used to play jet slalom oh we're in all right big t let me know how that game goes for you we'll do i used to go to the library and i would go to like the comic book section but not comic book comic books it was a collection of comic strips in a book so i would just i would get all the um bloom county and outland with opus the penguin i would read all those i'd read calvin and hobbs the far side so we'd just go to the library to just read comic strips all day what are you watching
Starting point is 01:10:00 billy what was that sound yeah it was something billy should not have been pulling billy what was that I just pulled up Achilles the video game I'll send it to you guys but it's entry music's very loud Okay All right Teed off was brought to you by eBay eBay is changing the game once again

Check them out. That was teed off featuring big tea fuck school
Starting point is 01:11:12 yeah we want to get this thing sponsored but I don't know if we can with these teed off takes no I think listen controversy sells man all right let's do it if you want teed off I'll give you teed off done yeah let's I won't let don't hold ever don't ever hold back big tea you know I won't before we get into uh before we get into sharks
Starting point is 01:11:31 there's big big controversy going on in the world of sports I want to discuss with you guys because I know that you all are of the that watched Harry Potter read the books. I have not. Huge breaking news in the Quidditch community. Oh, I know this.
Starting point is 01:11:48 So the International Quidditch Association is planning on changing their name and U.S. Quidditch and Major League Quidditch have both announced their name changes to U.S. Quad Ball and Major League Quad Ball
Starting point is 01:12:03 to combat J.K. Rowling's anti-trans rhetoric. Tell them, I thank them for their service. So just to be clear, it's a sport played by wizards on broomsticks that exist entirely inside J.K. Rowling's mind, but they want to distance themselves from J.K. Rowling. Got to. So it's no longer called Quidditch. The fake sport has rebranded. So they're basically taking it away from like the Harry Potter universe.
Starting point is 01:12:36 Yeah. But she created it, didn't she? Yes, it came from her brain. The same brain that has the takes that are so allegedly problematic that they can no longer be associated with her brain, they're going to continue playing the sport that she created. That she created in a fake world about wizards and goblets. I think they should change some rules, too, if they're going to. I agree. That's plagiarism.
Starting point is 01:12:58 Got to get rid of the brooms. I think if you're going to change it, if you're real serious about distancing yourself from J.K. Rowling, you guys say no more brooms. Yeah. No more brooms. Not even a pull. You're just playing on two feet now. Also, I think you've got to get rid of the Q name. I think the Q, the quad to Quidditch, too close.
Starting point is 01:13:16 Yeah, it is too close. This, I mean, this is just one of those. It's just, I mean, it's kind of ridiculous. Yeah, it is. Is it? I find it stunning and brave. I saw the University of Texas Quidditch team one time. I'm getting on a plane. We were flying back on the same airplane as, I don't know, a bunch of people that were going to Austin from some Quidditch tournament. It was like the NCAA tournament of Quidditch. And they had their brooms on the plane. And they were like stashing their brooms in the overhead compartment. They were all, they were the least athletic sports team that I've ever seen in my life. And they were in the finals. They were like one of the best teams in the country. They were nationally ranked. And they looked like a robotics team. No disrespect to robotics teams, but I feel like.
Starting point is 01:14:08 they would even admit that probably not the most athletic group of people by and large. But yeah, Quidditch is no longer, we're not going to say the key word on this show anymore. It's quad ball. Sorry. Okay. Let's get into, let's take a bite out of the real topic of today's show. Hang on, hang on. I know Ariens and I hear, we're not going to do Deborah Burke saying the vaccines.
Starting point is 01:14:30 They knew that they sucked. Oh, well, this is news to me. Oh, she said that she knew the vaccines. would not prevent infection, but that, uh, they said it anyway. Okay. So now we're, now we're believing Deborah Birx. Well, I mean, generally a retraction, you believe more than the lie previous. Well, well, her, her retraction is also backed by facts. All right. So what was her direct quote? Because I haven't seen this at all.
Starting point is 01:15:00 Uh, one second. Quote, I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection. And I think we overplayed the vaccines, and it made people then worry that it's not going to protect against severe disease and hospitalization. Okay. It will, she continued, but let's be clear, 50% of the people who died from the Omicron surge were all older and vaccinated. Okay.
Starting point is 01:15:23 So 50% of the people that died from Omicron were older and vaccinated? That's what she said. So that means that 50% of those who died were unvaccinated, which means I don't really see a problem with calling it a vaccine and knowing that it protects you against severe illness especially if you're old? Because it does. It's like a preventative thing that you can get
Starting point is 01:15:48 that has been shown to clearly help you survive if you do catch this. But as we've said time and time again, they said you won't get it. Did anybody actually ever say that you get it? Yes, many times. The loopholes that they had. Because I never thought that it would prevent me
Starting point is 01:16:04 from getting it entirely. Well, they changed it shortly their afterwards. when they realized how wrong that was. They changed the definition on Webster's of what a vaccine was. It literally like, this is one of those things that was just bonkers. So I recall always thinking that there are breakthrough cases. Well, see,
Starting point is 01:16:23 remember at first it was breakthrough like, wow, this wasn't, this isn't going to happen. It's a breakthrough infection like they were vaccinated. And then it became well, it's not going to protect you from getting it. Okay,
Starting point is 01:16:32 so the only other thing that will push back on because I agree wholeheartedly that our public. health officials did not do a good job handling any of this whatsoever. But by the science, wasn't there that first vaccine that was created that was created to prevent the first strand of Delta or the first strand of COVID that we all dealt with in like 2020. So you can't like, you can't make a vaccine to protect against something that's just now coming out. So when Delta and So I think in the initial strand of Delta, I feel like the vaccine was more effective against that than it was in each subsequent wave because the disease and the virus changes.
Starting point is 01:17:17 Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I'd say it was tremendously effective to begin with. But yeah, sure. I mean, when it mutates, it's different. I think it was tremendously effective in preventing you from dying. Maybe not spreading it. Maybe not from getting the disease. I'm not sure if it was, I believe Berks said that she thinks a lot of the death numbers were also inflated by as much as 25%, which the Washington Post has also reported. Okay, so we're trusting Debra Birx and the Washington Post. Again, you can't have it both ways.
Starting point is 01:17:51 You can't say this is the science. And then when they're like, oh, actually we were lying. You can't say, oh, you trust them now? Yeah. So I think when it comes to them lying about it, I think that they definitely, like she said, overplayed their hand and did not really discuss the possibility. of a lot of breakthrough infections happening and being like, yo,
Starting point is 01:18:07 this is not going to be 100% coverage. But they definitely chose to say this is the magic wand that we have right now. I want to see everyone who invested in one of these biotech companies like Pfizer, like all the public officials who have stakes in those companies before and after all this happened. And I think it's going to make people very angry.
Starting point is 01:18:33 Breaking news, the government is in bed with big pharma. I think everybody knows that. I know, but how, like, how can you, how can one sort of, in their mind equate that sort of thinking to it being like a thought like the opioid crisis happened? we found out how terrible like how profit oriented big farmer was and then we just in the same level just big sweeping push like just all we're just trying it I mean it's just yeah I mean anyone that's been paying attention for the last 50 years knows that big farm is not not an industry that is necessarily known for looking out for the best interest of the people. So, so like, no skepticism?
Starting point is 01:19:32 No, there's definitely skepticism there. But at the same time, polio, they've solved polio. Polio is a real vaccine. Yeah, I know it's a different vaccine. I know it's a different. It's a real one. I know it's different in how it's constructed, but it's still, that's big farmer that solve that.
Starting point is 01:19:50 So they've done some shitty stuff. They've done some stuff that helped as well. yeah but that was like way back when yeah that was before i mean the thing is like the fact basically for lack of a better term these mrna vaccines were symptom alleviators yeah that like i'm not gonna go it's like honestly it's like in the past i feel like it was like going into ira and now we know what we know now and it's like oh well we shouldn't have done that but you said symptom alleviator, so they've probably saved a shitload of lives from people getting the vaccines. I'll put it this way. Listen, I don't, I don't trust the government, believe it or not.
Starting point is 01:20:35 I don't trust pig pharmacy companies, but I would be very nervous on a personal level to go hang out with my parents who are both elderly if I didn't have, or if I knew that they didn't have the vaccine, right? Is that fair to say? Like, it's good. It's good for older people, especially, to be vaccinated so they don't fucking die when they get it. Right? Symptom alleviator is good, right? If you're 70 plus years old with health issues, would you rather get COVID and have the symptom alleliator?
Starting point is 01:21:12 Yeah, you're taking a very small percentage who everyone said, like, yeah, if you're old, you should get the vaccine. Okay. We're talking about when they said everyone has to get it because this will prevent you from. getting COVID. Right. I think that was reproducing. That ended up being a definite lie. Oh, no. She said they weren't lying. They were, quote, hoping. They were hoping. Okay. Yeah. They weren't lying. Let's, uh, let's, uh, make sure all the reproducing age, humans on earth get vaccinated, who are probably totally fine and the children. Well, not definitely don't need it. Not everyone's totally fine. There's still thousands. Like, statistically, if I get COVID, I'm probably going to be
Starting point is 01:21:48 fine. But also there's, there's a small chance that I'm not. So that, that's, that's, that's, actually, you can't like completely discount the fact that some young, more able-bodied people are going to die. And yeah, I don't think they handled it well at all. I really don't. But at the same time, I'm glad that we have it because my parents aren't dead. I think a lot of people would probably agree with that sentiment. All right.
Starting point is 01:22:12 Anyways, that's Vax talk with Billy football. So now this. Well, I mean, big tea race. And big tea. I just thought we should, we should touch on what Deborah Burke's comment is. Do you agree that the vaccine has made a lot of people's lives a lot better? The COVID vaccine? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:32 No, I don't. Well, the fact that they're still alive because of it. I, yes, there is a very small percentage of the population. I don't think it's that small. I don't think there was a tipping point. I don't think there was that much of a tipping point between those who survived and those who didn't with the vaccine. Yeah, it absolutely reduced your rate. of dying. Uh-huh. Yes. Didn't, but look at it look at the now new statistics. Have you seen
Starting point is 01:22:58 them? Yeah. Old people were, their lives were being saved left and right because they had this vaccine. It helped. But was there true? Yeah, sure. A lot of them did die. Yes, that's true. But if you look at the breakdown between who died, uh, with the vaccine and the percentage of people that didn't have the vaccine that died, the percentage of people that didn't have the vaccine that died is way, way outsized. It is massive compared to the people that did have it. Okay, so what percentage of the U.S. population is above, like, 50 years old?
Starting point is 01:23:28 Above 50. That's a good question. I'm trying to look it up right now. I'm going to guess 30%. Okay. 25 to 30%. So, let's call it 30%. So then what about the other 70? 30% of 300 million is still a lot. Yeah, but we can play that game all day
Starting point is 01:23:44 long. It's 90 million people. Yeah. There's a lot of people that live here. Okay, so. Again, I'm not disagree. Have more people died from getting the vaccine than have been prevented from dying? That's not a real argument. No, but I'm talking about its efficacy, not did people die from it. I'm trying to understand what your point is.
Starting point is 01:24:04 The point is that the vaccines didn't, for most of the population, didn't really do anything. They were touted as this will stop COVID. This will end it. You will not get it. You can't. And even if you do get it on a very small chance, you won't pass. on anyone else. That's been proven flagrantly untrue. The small percentage of people that did need to get it and should have, we agree. Like, yeah, if you were old, you should get the COVID
Starting point is 01:24:30 vaccine. What I'm talking about is the government touting that this was the end all, B, all you must get it in many places trying to actually mandate that. And it turns out, well, they knew in the beginning that it wasn't really doing anything. They said all that anyway. And then now they're like, Yeah, well, no harm, no foul. We just lied, and it wasn't that big of it. I think that, I think they were hoping for the most part. They said a lot of things that... Hope is not a strategy.
Starting point is 01:24:57 I agree, I agree, but they said a lot of things that they were hoping would come true with the vaccine that did not come true. I mean, they were going through the entire thing at the same time as we were. Having hindsight when it comes to a brand new disease is always going to be awesome. But that's what people said in the beginning. They're like, we don't know anything about this. the smallest time frame that a legitimate vaccine has been developed for a novel virus as five years. Like if you're coming up with, if you say you're going to have a vaccine in the next six months,
Starting point is 01:25:26 like who knows what that's even going to entail? Yeah. Listen, right when we, it's not like we talked to Dr. Fauci right when this whole thing was happening. And he said that exact thing. He's like, yeah, if we really go warp speed on it, then it's going to be, you know, a couple years. And Trump got it out there really fast. And Trump should have taken, he started to take a lot of credit. for it. But he should have taken more credit because like it's a, I think it's a medical miracle that
Starting point is 01:25:50 they were able to come out with a vaccine that quickly because they had all the government's focus on it. And it did save millions of lives potentially, maybe not millions, but definitely hundreds of thousands of American lives were saved by it by having old people have access to that shot, which ended up, yeah, it's new technology. It's not really a vaccine the way that we think about it. But as a symptom alleviator, I think it was a net positive, definitely. don't disagree that old people should get it. Okay. I'm talking about everyone else, which is the overwhelming
Starting point is 01:26:20 majority of the country. Okay. Hey, guys, you know, honestly, the conversation is like, this conversation, like, it's over. No, but they're trying to bring it back, brother. They're, they're going to find a new way to, they're going to find a new way to trick us into consuming some, something else that's going to have an adverse impact that we might not see yet.
Starting point is 01:26:45 I've got bad news for you about milk Yeah But there's going to be something else And corn syrup Yeah There's a lot of stuff There's a ton of stuff out there Let me ask you this
Starting point is 01:27:00 Also smallpox We got rid of smallpox too With the vaccine That's a real vaccine That was developed by dead vaccine DNA Like you know how they used to Inoculate people for smallpox Yeah
Starting point is 01:27:11 They used to take pus From smallpox people and put it into cuts of other people. Yeah, so that was... Now aren't they coming out with a vaccine that's actually a real vaccine and not the MRNA thing? Yeah, I think no NovoVax.
Starting point is 01:27:27 Yeah, so it's different. It's a more traditional one that's coming out now. Do you think it is at all... I don't look down, by the way, on people that choose not to get it, that we work with a couple people that haven't gotten it.
Starting point is 01:27:40 Like, that's whatever, it's your decision. Well, so that was my... But if... But I think it is, to say that it doesn't work and that you can pull up statistics from a website that anybody can log into and write their own adverse reactions to it. That's not medically sound whatsoever. And then making it seem like it's dangerous to get the shot for people that really do need it. Well, I didn't do that. I know. I'm just saying like those are the people that I have problems with.
Starting point is 01:28:06 I don't mind if you choose not to get it. That's your choice. Here's my final question on it as a fellow vaccinated person. Do you think it is at all? even a tiny little bit, a dangerous precedent to set that the government came out, said information that it appears they may have known to been false. At the very least, they were dubious of it and we're like, and we hope this works. And got a large percentage of the population to do what they said. And not only that, to turn around and vilify people who said, you know what, I'm not sure about that. I'm not going to do that. And that they now have a case study that they can use the media, and the population to do kind of anything they want?
Starting point is 01:28:49 Do you think there's one percent of that that could be bad? I think it's a little bit dangerous. Yeah, I do. Because they essentially said, we're going through an unprecedented time right now. Everybody's very scared. They're in a position where they will be, they're like sucking at our teat trying to get a little bit of good news
Starting point is 01:29:08 just to have somebody tell you it's all over, right? So for a year, we were like I want this fucking thing to be over so we can get back to real life and so we were desperate for any good news and then they had a few studies that said this looks promising and then they said okay everybody get this so that we can get the fuck out of the situation that we're in I think a lot of people were desperately hoping that it would become a magic wand and a lot of people attached part of their personalities to like believing in the vaccine a lot of their it was it was their personality to believe in it and there good things that happen with the vaccine, there are some not good things that happen to the vaccine. That's just the case. I think by and large it was definitely net positive, but the people that made their entire personalities rooting for it, it did show that they are easily manipulated into thinking everything is going to be fine. And by just having somebody tell them, everything's fine now, and by playing sides and making the vaccine into like this big partisan football that they were
Starting point is 01:30:09 kicking back and forth, it became like one of the other, It became another player on the team that they're rooting for, you know? Like, that's how politics is in America right now. It's like you're either rooting for a Republican team or Democratic team. And then you've got a bunch of different players on the team. And, like, Trump was the quarterback of the Republican team. And it's like, that's our guy. The vaccines was like that was a speedy wide receiver on the Democratic team.
Starting point is 01:30:30 That's what it became. That's what the debate came at a certain point. And it should never been like that, but that's what it was. So I do think we have common ground that just because a large amount of people, think that something is going to be a magic cure all, a lot of times that's just them having happy ears and wanting somebody to tell them you're doing a great job, everything will be okay because you're a good person. Okay. Then we largely agree on that. Yeah, but also I think a large percentage of the country, we're not fucking idiots and we see that our parents are getting their lives
Starting point is 01:31:01 saved because they have access to this, which they didn't have before. And so that's, that's a good thing that we can all agree on. Yeah. I don't disagree that old people should have gotten the vaccine. Yeah. They're not all. Whether it worked or, well, I don't want to say whether it worked or not, but it didn't work for everybody. There, there, but it worked for a lot of people.
Starting point is 01:31:18 It was worth, if you are an old person, it was definitely worth it for you to get it. Yes. Agreed. And Billy agrees. Yeah. Billy's like, just inject me with CRISPR technology. Give me the frog DNA. That's sweet, but just not anything that a drug company made up.
Starting point is 01:31:36 Billy's getting radicalized overseas right now. Billy's joining the Parliamentary Revolutionary Guard in Andorra to protect the two princes. He's going to come back. Billy, what are the chances, be honest. What are the chances that you just take a train over to Ukraine? Well, it would be a bus. There's no train running there. There's a, by the way, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:32:05 I'm sort of basically I found the cheapest transatlantic flight about two months ago and I have somewhere to be on Saturday, but I've got a bus pass. So I can go anywhere. Where do you have to be on Saturday? Why are you being so weird in KG? Well, Saturday is where I'm leaving. I won't be in Andorra by the time this thing airs. You're getting out of town? Yeah, I got a bus pass. Are you going to the Ukraine? That's my question. I could. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:32:38 How many countries are you going to total? It depends. It might be five or maybe six. All right. Spain and Dora, definitely going to have to go through France. Italy would be my guess, possibly Switzerland, possibly Germany. and then maybe Croatia. How close am I?
Starting point is 01:33:10 Pretty close. Pretty close. I know Billy's brain. All right. Let's talk fucking sharks, guys. Yeah. Let's get in some fucking sharks.
Starting point is 01:33:18 Shark fact. Shark fact, number one. Sharks don't have skeletons. They've got cartilage. So they don't have bones. They don't have bones. Their teeth are bones. They got boners.
Starting point is 01:33:30 They do. Don't they have two dicks? Yeah. Sharks have two penises. How about that? Actually, I guess Are teeth in the jaws Not bones?
Starting point is 01:33:40 No, their teeth are bones Yeah, but shark jaws are not bones Parts of their jaws are But most of its cartilage That's why When I think of a shark What's the greatest of all time shark? Yeah
Starting point is 01:33:53 I think Megalodon However Yeah You want to go off on Megalodon real quick, Billy Because I know you know Megalodon Big ass shark Big ass shark
Starting point is 01:34:04 but it might not have been everything that we say that it is because you can't find a megalodon skeleton because think about a fish. This will trip you out. When a fish dies, it's in the water and it starts to decompose in the water. It gets eaten, the currents, the tides push it around. It goes down to the bottom of the sea.
Starting point is 01:34:25 There's a lot of movement going on down there. It's almost impossible to find a fish fossil and especially if their cartilage, which tends to decay. So really all they have is megalodon teeth that they can prove megalodon's existence. And a lot of the different- And jaws. Yeah, a lot of the jaws that they put together, there's been a lot of dispute in the scientific community, whether or not that's a legit megaladon.
Starting point is 01:34:50 So I've heard this argument. And the thing is, there's the whale shark. Now, the whale shark is a very large shark, the largest fish in the world. and there is a theory that the Megalodon may have been some sort of whale shark variant and that's why it was so large. The thing is whale shark don't have the same type of teeth that Megalodon was sporting. Megalodon's teeth was very reminiscent of great whites, teeth, bull sharks, and predatory sharks. So that's where they take all these ascitations with the teeth.
Starting point is 01:35:29 Like it wasn't a filter feeder like a whale shark or whales in general. So it was a large shark and must have been hunting whales and other types of large animals in the ocean. But a crazy thing with Megalodon is that there was that fake documentary on Megalodon. Do you guys have ever watched this? This was around when fake news was really starting. Remember I was talking about the mermaid documentary? Yep. was, well, they made another one, Megalodon.
Starting point is 01:36:01 Really great watch. Definitely check it out if you haven't. It was a fake documentary on basically, like, imagine you were watching a, you know, Shark Week show, and then the Shark Week show ended up, like, there was a Megalodon. And it was one of the most fascinating documentaries. But it's caused a huge ruckus because, like,
Starting point is 01:36:22 that was when the Discovery Channel, an animal planet started, like basically posting fake news. They saw all the cryptids and stuff was getting more traction. So they just started making shit up. Yeah, that was fucked up that they did that. Just like when they had Michael Phelps swim against the shark. That was bullshit.
Starting point is 01:36:40 And then it was a CGI shark. That was such bullshit. I canceled my subscription to television when I saw that. I said TV has let me down. That's such bullshit. I didn't like it one bit. and Shark Week used to be so cool when we were kids It was like the coolest week of the year
Starting point is 01:36:59 And at that point That's the boy that cried wolf The thing about Shark Week is though It was always the week before the week of going back to school So it was always kind of a bad reminder Yeah it was the last hurrah of the summer Let's go around real quick And get who was that that just opened the door
Starting point is 01:37:18 Let's go around the room real quick What are the top sharks out there? like species of sharks or specific what are your favorite sharks like the best sharks I like I mean gray white's off the table great white is is one one one yeah I'm then going from there to tiger shark uh well hang on let's not let this guy take every shark okay so are we coming up with just billy's shark list are we coming up with the mac I don't know I thought we were going around everybody was giving a shark okay but no I guess we want to just let billy do every shark let's sorry like I already have no it's not your fault it's not your fault you love sharks we let him we let him run with it I just thought everybody was no it's a shark shark draft top three each of us I don't know that there's enough sharks for that I was going to get one shark there's definitely enough sharks what's your shark everybody gets two sharks I just want all I like care about is getting
Starting point is 01:38:13 I just wanted the hammerhead shark you have an you have an NBA jam roster of sharks everybody on this everybody on this podcast does so hammer hammer hammerhead sharks stop just naming sharks we're doing it we're doing a fucking draft i know but i have something to say about hammer and sharks okay well then you can say it in due time okay okay we got to figure out draft order now mad dog what's the draft order can i just choose anything yeah no it's got to go in a circle around the room though okay so we can keep keep track start with pft goes clockwise nice mad dog all right i'm taking i'm taking great white shark number one good pick uh great white shark they have unlimited teeth how about that they've just got like a
Starting point is 01:38:58 revolving door of teeth because they lose so many of them that there's a new one 50 000 50 000 lifetime uh they probably go through estimated that's crazy and their teeth are so sharp they're serrated so on the side of the tooth if you just rub your finger up and down a great white shark's tooth uh it'll just cut you it'll slice you right open it's like the shark tooth necklace is I thought I always had that. Yeah, shark, those are badass. Great white shark. Great white shark number one.
Starting point is 01:39:28 Easy number one pick. Big T, you're up. Well, now you've stuck me with a hell of a dilemma because I want hammerhead shark, but I also know that Billy, because he blew his low too early, wants tiger shark. So do I, dude, I got another shark. I got another shark. He's got sharks on that. I've got a couple other sharks, too.
Starting point is 01:39:43 I guess since Billy probably does have enough sharks that me taking his number two wouldn't bother him, so I'm going hammerhead shark. Okay. They're funky looking. Yeah, it's something unique. It's cool. Yeah. Low-key pussies, though.
Starting point is 01:39:56 Why? So the reason they have a hammerhead is because they use electric. They have kind of six cents and all sharks have a six cents. They tap into electrical fields that other small animals generate. And that's why they had that like, it looks like a. Oh, sorry, their electric ESP is not cool enough for you. Yeah, because they only eat crabs in little animals. They're not big game hunters
Starting point is 01:40:23 So they're not dangerous at all They're just bottom feeders I'm sticking with it I think he's trying to talk me out of hammerhead So he can jack it He is That's exactly what Billy's doing No I'm not gonna jack it
Starting point is 01:40:35 I have a shark that's gonna blow All the sharks out of the water Even the gray white Can I go? No you're not up yet Because I still want to talk A little bit more about hammerhead sharks They have a very complex mating rituals
Starting point is 01:40:45 They all like swarm together Kind of like a Russian bathhouse And they all just kind of circle each other once a year. There's one week a year where hammerheads get real horned up. They circle each other. Then the male just bites the female until she lets him get it in. Very violent. Seems problematic. It is problematic. I was in the Galapagos back in 2012 and I was on a beach there and there was an entire marine biology group from the University of North Carolina that was on the beach next to me. And I heard them just complaining and they're like, oh man, this sucks. Like we got to
Starting point is 01:41:21 get up at 6.30 tomorrow morning because we're going to go snorkeling at the the hammerhead mating ritual pond and see thousands of hammerheads fucking each other. It's like that's, that seems like one of the coolest things that you can see is like hundreds of hammerhead sharks circling around doing their mating dance. That seems like it was something I probably would complain about too in college being like, I'd just rather not wake up at 630. But at the same time, It's like, this is a pretty unique thing. Also, their eyes are on the side of the hammer front, but they don't just see to the side. They actually, the eyes feel of vision overlaps in the front a little bit so they can see about 180 degrees.
Starting point is 01:42:04 No, that's, they can see also, they see 360 degrees. Oh, they do? Yeah, they have 360. Hammerheads have 360 degree vision. I guess I read something. I read it wrong, but that's incredible, being able to see. each eye can probably see 180 degrees that might be yeah i might have gotten confused on that one so two eyes that's 360 that's pretty sick that that's sick that would be a great quarterback yeah or point
Starting point is 01:42:31 sharks sharks mate where they're born they always return to the same body of water it's kind of weird that's it's crazy how that like happens because like what if there's an environmental change or what if something changes and that's no longer a viable breeding ground. Yeah, would they recognize it or would they still try to mate there? It's like why, how is that an evolutionary thing? I guess.
Starting point is 01:43:00 I guess it's because they grew up safe and they made it to adulthood after getting born there. So that's probably if you're playing the numbers game. True. It means that maybe their kids would be able to grow up. And the willy-nilly mate anywhere guys didn't have the same success and consistency.
Starting point is 01:43:17 Yeah. Consistency is key. Speaking of the shark orgy, female sharks can be impregnated by multiple partners at once. Oh, wow. Yeah. So, like, you could have half brothers and sisters in the same shark litter.
Starting point is 01:43:33 That would be crazy. That would be crazy if humans could do that. Well, I guess humans do, like we do return to hospitals to give birth and we were born in the hospital. It's kind of the same thing. the same environment.
Starting point is 01:43:45 But not the same hospital. Would it be possible for fraternal twins to have two different fathers? I think it's extremely, extremely rare, but I think that there have been a couple. Maybe I'm making this up, but I'm pretty sure I've heard that it could be possible. Can twins have different fathers? The answer is yes, but only in cases in which they're fraternal. Yeah, like super rare to have it happen. One in every 400 sets of fraternal twins have different fathers.
Starting point is 01:44:14 that seems like a very low like that seems more common yeah it does it that sounds 100 that's like every day yeah miracle twins have different fathers and the dads couldn't be more happier about it yeah that's kind of cool if you're the dad if of one of them you're like at least i don't have to take care of both these um all right oh it was a gay it was a gay couple okay okay they mixed it up okay yeah whoa all right um billy what's your first shark bull shark good choice good choice billy the most take the rest of the shark right but guess what bull sharks have the highest testosterone level of any animal on earth even more than an elephant and must yes bull shark's testosterone levels are believed to be the highest in the animal kingdom with 358 ngms per millimeter one shark tested
Starting point is 01:45:13 even higher than an American elephant in heat with 64.4 Gns per militer. So can you eat Bullshark? I don't know. Let me check that out. I feel like there's a giant untapped market out there for like Bullshark testosterone extract.
Starting point is 01:45:32 Yeah. I mean, I've definitely seen ads for that type of stuff. But Bull sharks in their aggressive as far. fuck I think they have the highest bite which shark bites humans the most they do I think it's bull sharks yeah because they can be found bull sharks can be found in shallow water a lot of times and they can survive in brackish water so water that's fresh water and salt water occasionally
Starting point is 01:46:05 you'll hear about like a bull shark making its way up a tributary from the ocean and it's like in a creek or a small stream and there's just this giant fucking nine foot long bull shark biting people there's definitely a bull shark in Lake Lanier yeah oh yeah probably do you see that boat that caught on fire yep just the fact that people still go it's crazy stay away from that lake yeah while we're on that subject we have a shirt coming out says don't swim in Lake Lanier I was gonna say can we when is that coming out get that word out there's a bunch coming out they got they have cool like phrases on them and stuff stuff from this show that we've said yeah it's going to be awesome is there it's it's under the denver airport is that one coming out too yep sweet
Starting point is 01:46:45 space is fake is also on there that's a good one i want that in every color pot Putin created crypto that's also my that's my other favorite one time is fake we got some good ones people are going to be excited um avery what's your first shark bull shark's a good pick billy it's crazy as how it hasn't been picked yet the megaladon that's just i mean that's the alpha that's the number one it fell it had character concerns. Megladon. Megladon also has serrated teeth, which is why they think it isn't some sort of scavenger or a filter feeder, but actually attacked its prey. Yeah, I mean, there's nothing more to it. He's just the biggest ever. But he's low T compared to the bull shark. Durability concerns, though. Yeah, but I mean, if you're in his area, he runs a show. He's like Shaq. Yeah, yeah, he is.
Starting point is 01:47:37 He's like Shaq. He is. People had a lot of concerns about Shaq going into the draft, but the Meglodon's the most dominant out there. All right, good pick. Good pick. Mad Dog. I don't know if this counts.
Starting point is 01:47:49 You can tell me if it doesn't, but all animated sharks from movies. You have to pick one. Can I pick the shark from Finding Nemo? Yeah. That says fish, our friends, not food. Oh, Bruce. Bruce.
Starting point is 01:48:00 Can I pick Bruce? Okay, you got Bruce. First overall, good pick. Our first pick for you. Are we doing a steak draft? Yeah, so Mad Dog gets to go twice Oh shit, okay Get Vinnie from Shark Tail
Starting point is 01:48:12 I know I was gonna say Do I just do two animated sharks I'll do Vinny from Sharktail I love that movie too Okay Good pick At the car wash Working at the car wash
Starting point is 01:48:23 Alright Avery your second pick Second pick is the whale shark Dude you're just going beef Beef beef yeah I'm going all beef hoss Mike Vrabel just building the biggest possible team Exactly yeah I went to the Georgia Aquarian one time
Starting point is 01:48:36 They have the only whale shark It is sick. It is awesome. It's a must see. So they have the biggest tank in the United States, I think, and they have the only whale shark on exhibit that you can see in the United States. That's very cool. It's badass. And they're really friendly, right?
Starting point is 01:48:51 Very friendly. So people... You can swim with them. Yeah. There's divers that, like, grab onto their fins and just go for a ride. Yeah. They seem like a very chill shark. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:00 What that mouth do. Yeah. Oh, God. Damn. Suck up shrimp. It's Nancy Reagan of sharks. Yep. I'm going to go with the tiger shark
Starting point is 01:49:13 because they literally eat anything Okay All right Tiger sharks like They've got cool stripes too They find the weirdest thing In tiger sharks' stomachs Um
Starting point is 01:49:28 So they found old tires, license plates uh prosthetic legs they found they found automotive parts like these guys literally eat anything
Starting point is 01:49:43 yeah did everybody else have it in their textbooks growing up can you specifically remember a page that had a picture or an illustration
Starting point is 01:49:50 of things that they found in shark stomachs yes you know what I'm talking about right yes no absolutely there would be like
Starting point is 01:49:58 gold coins it looked like a bunch of treasure there would be a suit of armor that was always there yes there was there
Starting point is 01:50:05 it was a blue background of course the shark was on the right hand page and facing to the right as well yeah and it was a diagram in the top right i distinctly remember that graphic and just staring at that graphic for a super long time tiger sharks a good pick billy not going to lie like you got also tiger sharks they'll bite people too they're pretty aggressive yeah yeah highly serrated teeth very sharp teeth sharper teeth than great whites all right big tea I'm taking left shark
Starting point is 01:50:42 from Super Bowl 49 good pick thank you I feel like that's a steel in round two people forget left shark they do the internet internet was just lit on fire with just left shark memes left shark should have started some sort of business or something I don't know
Starting point is 01:50:58 what he ended up doing yeah they sell like a blowups of it so you can dress up for it like his Halloween still. Well, I hope, I hope the guy who was in the costume is getting a cut of that. But yeah, left shark. Just didn't know his dance moves. Left shark rocks.
Starting point is 01:51:12 He had his own agenda. Good pick. For my second shark, damn, now I don't know what to pick. It's a conundrum. You want to easy pick up? No, I have two. I have two great pickups that I could do. I already regret mine.
Starting point is 01:51:28 I'm going to go gummy sharks, the white one specifically. the white flavored gummy shark was so good it was elite it was so much better tasting than the rest of the sharks I don't know that I've ever encountered gummy sharks you're talking about the blue and the blue gelatin with the white there's that one but there's also the white one white one white if you search white gummy sharks while you're looking that up my honorable mention is shark nato could pick uh that's the one that was a crazy time arian would have picked that he sent a shark nato yesterday yeah he did uh my other my other choice i was just thinking maco shark would have been cool yeah fastest shark i'm pretty sure and so having a great white and maco together
Starting point is 01:52:14 have been like thunder and lightning reggie bush lindale white that would have been a good combination i think that yeah maco shark was big for me because when i was playing hockey easton came out with a stick called the maco and it had like shark skin grip on the on the blade that people were like obsessed with. I love that. I love that. Maco sharks are just sleek, man. Yeah. They also bite humans. I don't think they're not that big. They don't do that much damage to them.
Starting point is 01:52:42 But they're just very cool sharks. All right, good draft. Good shark draft. It's great draft. I've never heard that name before in my life. You played Polly and Goodfellas? I've never seen Goodfellas. I've even seen Goodfellas. I don't like, like, mafia. What do you like? He thinks the Italian.
Starting point is 01:53:01 are little still uh stop i don't believe in the mafia i'll get that take off as well what do you mean go look at go look at hoboken and see why it's so clean and organized and then you'll realize i don't think the mafia is real so you're saying the mafia the mafia is good in certain respects they killed kennedy i think they were just paid too i saw something in our discord that they said George Bush killed JFK. He had, there were a lot of coincidences about where George H.W. Bush was. Really? He doesn't remember. We talked about this. He doesn't remember where he was when Kennedy was shot. He doesn't. George H.W. Bush does not remember where he was.
Starting point is 01:53:51 I feel like even if you don't remember where you were, you got to make some up. And he, there's a lot of ties between, um, one of Lee Harvey Oswald's best friends and George H. Bush like they were very close there's there's a lot of stuff there he was wait was W was W the head of CIA HW HW HW became the head of the CIA
Starting point is 01:54:14 yes well that makes sense yeah so it's it's very funny there's a sign in Quantico not Quantico like Langley Virginia where the CIA is located and it's on a road and says the George Bush Center for Intelligence on the side of the road and they had
Starting point is 01:54:31 put up barriers because people would just always stop on the side of the road to take pictures of that sign because it's so ridiculous. Oh, you know what also gave me a little conspiracy vibes? George Bush, Yale baseball player. Yep. Guess who else is a Yale baseball player who might
Starting point is 01:54:49 be affiliated with some of their underground societies? Ron DeSantis? Ron DeSantis. He got like 340 as senior year. He was a hell of a ball player. That's pretty good. Yeah, George H. H.W. was the captain. I think DeSantis was a also. I saw that he was talking about in an interview the other guy. Okay, put this one
Starting point is 01:55:05 down in the notes. We're doing an episode on Skull and Bones. Yes. On Secret Society. I actually think I know somebody. Let's go, Billy. Do you have a guy? Do you have a guy who I went to a football camp with who I have his number.
Starting point is 01:55:24 Okay. So this is a pre-Billy's-less guy. We will blur his face out. We will not give his name will disguise his voice. I want to find out all the secrets about skull and bones. I know that one of the things is you have to like jack off in a coffin. That's part of the
Starting point is 01:55:41 enshriment ritual. Yeah, we'll get to the bottom of that. But let's get back to sharks. Is anybody here afraid of sharks? Absolutely. Are you not? I'm not afraid of sharks. Why the? Oh, you're so cool. No, I don't want to I don't want to swim with sharks if there was a shark in the water.
Starting point is 01:56:01 to me, I would freak the fuck out. So then you're scared of sharks. I'm not scared of going into the water and thinking that there's going to be a shark there. That's different. That's not what that means, though. I think that is what it means. I think anybody would freak the fuck out if they saw a shark. I know exactly what he means.
Starting point is 01:56:15 He's not going to knock on the water because sharks could be in the water. Are you afraid of guns? No, I was just fixing to say, that's like saying you, if you go outside, that's different than having somebody point a gun at you or like the threat that somebody has a gun on the street. Yeah, no, that's what I'm saying about sharks. Like, I am not afraid of the existence of sharks. Okay, neither am I. Nobody is. As I sit in this seat, I'm not afraid of a shark right now. But, like, if I'm in the water actively, I'm like, looking out. I'm never looking out for sharks in the ocean. If there was a shark next to me, but I know, statistically, it's
Starting point is 01:56:53 almost impossible that I'm definitely old-takes exposing myself right now where it's like I'm I'm probably going to get hit by a shark this week. You've seen the track record this show has of saying things and then they come to fruition? I know. I know. I might be jinxing myself, but I'm not afraid of sharks. I'm not afraid to go in the ocean. Some people are.
Starting point is 01:57:10 Some people are terrified of giant fish. I'm afraid of sharks, but I would like to go swimming with sharks in a cage. If you're, that doesn't make sense. You probably already have done swimming with sharks. They say that in Florida. If you see those videos, the helicopter footage, in Florida that you're more than likely, there's a shark swimming 20 feet away
Starting point is 01:57:29 from you. You just can't see it. I don't think that's true. You know how close 20 feet is? I'm not that far in the water to be. Or like 100 feet. They come shallow sometimes. They do. But like that shallow? I'm like We haven't had
Starting point is 01:57:44 we haven't had a real good summer of the shark recently. That used to be a thing that would pop up every like six years. Isn't that a good thing? Yeah. It is. But it also means that we're due. We are overdue It's like the Yellowstone volcano
Starting point is 01:57:59 We're overdue You're manifesting a shark attack on you right now Bring it on I'm not afraid of sharks PFT's the next sole surfer I'm a very strong swimmer And also if you bump a shark on the nose They get dizzy
Starting point is 01:58:13 You gotta punch it You gotta punch them in the gills right That's what you're supposed to do Attack the gills Claw the gills Aren't you supposed to also punch them Square between the eyes You can do that too
Starting point is 01:58:23 I'll tell you what Gives the eyes out I'm more afraid of jellyfish than I'm spiders I hate jellyfish they suck yeah but you can't I'm not spiders sharks I meant can you die from a jellyfish sting you can a bad enough one like a bad enough from a box jellyfish you can from there's a jellyfish in Australia called the iroconji and it's about the size of your thumbnail so it's tiny and they can swim in between the jellyfish nets usually so if you get stung by one best case scenario you're going to be just laying down on your for like five days
Starting point is 01:58:56 and excruciating pain all over your body it's best case worst case you die almost instantly so there are certain beaches in Australia that they don't allow
Starting point is 01:59:04 anybody to swim in because they have those because the Iroconjeer there yeah the manna war which I don't think is even a jellyfish I think it's its own thing
Starting point is 01:59:12 the Portuguese manna war it looks like a jellyfish but it's just all these giant fucking stinging tentacles and they can kill like real big fish shout out
Starting point is 01:59:24 Fuck them. They're just a lot. They're just like translucent. Nobody wants to see them. Fuck that. You can pee on yourself if you get stung by a jellyfish. Or someone could pee on you. Or someone can pee on you.
Starting point is 01:59:34 No, you want to see that. I got some more shark facts that I need to get out because I don't want them to get thrown on the rug. Okay. Greenland shark is a, there was a Greenland shark found that was the longest living vertebrate ever. Greenland shark is an Arctic. The only Arctic shark species lives around Greenland and lived up to 400. years old. Longest living vertebrate.
Starting point is 01:59:57 Oh, I like the Greenland shark. They're ugly, aren't they? They're ugly as fun. But it's crazy. I feel like since they live in such cold waters, it's like a natural refrigerator preserves preserving them. I agree. Yeah, it's like cryogenics, their entire life.
Starting point is 02:00:15 Yeah. Yeah. More shark facts. The goblin shark is one of the oldest species of an animal that's continuously exists in the fossil record of all time. Sharks are actually more OG than dinosaurs. They evolved before dinosaurs. They've existed after dinosaurs.
Starting point is 02:00:35 They have, they're like, and the goblin shark is one of those sharks that lives deep under the ocean and very large, but they found fossils or remnants of goblin sharks from millions of years ago. The goblin shark is maybe the most. disgusting-looking animal I've ever seen. Well, it looks like a goblin. It does. It's got a giant nose that comes out of its forehead.
Starting point is 02:01:03 It's been classified as a living fossil. That's, yeah, that's nuts. So I'm afraid of this shark. I'm not afraid of the other ones. This one I'm terrified of. It does look like a ghoul. The whale shark has some of the thickest skin of any animal. and it's almost considered bulletproof.
Starting point is 02:01:25 They have six inches thick skin. Wow. Now I just want to shoot a whale shark. I want to see what happens. It is the second thickest in the world. The sperm whale has skin that measures more than a foot thick. I've never... It's tougher.
Starting point is 02:01:40 I've never understood how whaling was a big thing where, you know, if you read Moby Dick, people used to go out there and just throw harpoons at whales, and like a tiny little fucked up harpoon would kill the whale. No, they'd go for the blowhole And then they'd choke on their own blood Oh shit Reminds me one of the best shows ever Whale Wars with Sea Shepard
Starting point is 02:02:03 Oh yeah That was my show Despite all my rage I'm still chill That was my first show The world is a vampire Six show Don't shit to change
Starting point is 02:02:17 Oh yeah Do you guys Do you guys know about the The shark summer of 19th 16? No. This is a big summer for sharks. That was the original summer of the shark. It was 1916 at the Jersey Shore. So there was this rich family that was taking a train over from Pennsylvania, from Philadelphia. I think they were the Van Zant family. They were like aristocrats.
Starting point is 02:02:42 And one of the younger males, I think he was in his teens or 20s, he was in the water down, forget the exact town that he was in. It was like halfway down the shore, and he got his leg bit off by a shark, and they put him on the stretcher, tried to operate on him. He died of blood loss almost instantly. And then there were all these scientists across the country being like, yeah, it was probably not even a shark because sharks never attack people. It wasn't a thing where shark attacks, they weren't known to be a thing because going to the ocean on vacation, swimming in the water, was just becoming something that people did. It was like more rare back then by far than it is now. as many people in the water, not as many people would get bit by sharks. So this guy died.
Starting point is 02:03:26 The news reports came out and they said, yeah, he was attacked by giant fish and died. Nobody would say that it was a shark. In fact, the head of the Natural History Museum said that it couldn't be a shark because we've never seen a shark that's that far north. The great white sharks only exist down like at the equator. They would never be at the Jersey Shore, never be up in Massachusetts, Long Island, any of that. then like two days later this other guy got both of his legs bitten off by a shark about like two miles north I think of the original one and then right after that this kid was in a stream it was a stream
Starting point is 02:04:05 that was nearby nearby the ocean and a great white shark swam its way up there the same shark and bit this kid as he was getting out of the water one of the dads jumped in the dad got bit both the kid and the dad died and then later on that day another kid got bit by a shark i think there were like five deaths in about 10 days from the very same shark and then that was everywhere in the news like every newspaper from coast to coast was covering the dangers of sharks in america and they realized that oh shit you know that old saying like if it bleeds it leads when it comes to the news industry where people love to read about gore yeah it was it was the biggest news in the country. And by the way, at this time, World War I was currently breaking out. But everyone's
Starting point is 02:04:52 focus was on how dangerous sharks were because this one fucked up great white shark that was up in New Jersey. So then the local government and the Coast Guard were all called in because Woodrow Wilson was the president. And Woodrow Wilson, I think he was the governor of New Jersey for a while. And he had a bunch of people in his cabinet that were also New Jersey natives. They used to love going to the shore. So this was like a big thing for them. So they deputized every fishing boat in America, on the East Coast, at least, to go out and kill as many sharks as you can find. So not only was every fishing boat actively hunting sharks, they were bringing like guns and stuff into the water to shoot sharks. Just regular civilians were going out into the water, into the ocean with like pitchforks and stuff, just trying to kill as many fucking sharks as they could because they were terrified that they were going to be next.
Starting point is 02:05:44 And eventually this one guy, I think he was from New York, he caught the shark. and they cut its belly open and they found like all five pieces of flesh they found an entire shin bone of one of the dudes who got its leg bitten off and so like okay we got this shark and it wasn't that big it was like an eight foot shark which is still like it's big but great whites can get up to probably yeah 18 19 feet but they found that one shark and then after that there were like no shark attacks for like 30 years in New Jersey but it was it became a national news store where everybody got terrified of sharks because of this one real bad, like 10 days span that they had in New Jersey. That's what started people being afraid of sharks
Starting point is 02:06:27 in this country. And then after that, Jaws, obviously, I think Jaws was loosely based off that one shark. And so that was just like the most fucked up shark of all time. Really ruined it for all the other sharks out there. Probably got thousands of its buddies killed. Yeah. Because it just went, it flew too close to the sun and that's what stopped the U.S. from entering World War I in sooner fashion. Yeah. Yeah, we were fine doing
Starting point is 02:06:53 our Lynn Lease bullshit because we had enough stuff to worry about back home. We had a summer of the shark. I just love how we had like a civilian shark brigade. Like people just went out with whatever they could find to go kill sharks. Yeah, just like wading out into the ocean. Well, you got a sharp stick?
Starting point is 02:07:10 Yeah, we're going to kill these motherfuckers. That's sick. So this story of the USS Indianapolis from World War II is another one of those horrifying stories. So sharks can detect a drop of blood. They can detect blood up to one part per 10 billion or a drop in an Olympic-sized pool. So one drop of blood in an Olympic-sized pool,
Starting point is 02:07:39 a shark will be able to smell it. So what happened was because of this information, there was the USS Indianapolis was torpedoed by a Japanese Japanese warship the boat sunk they were in shark-infested waters and because of the injuries that the men sustained from the ship it was one of the first ships to sink in tropical waters that were you know highly shark-infested
Starting point is 02:08:09 150 U.S. soldiers, U.S. sailors were eaten alive and killed by sharks in the sinking. 150. That's wild. That's an all-time bad day. You're on a boat, your shit gets sunk. You go into the water. That's pretty fucked up already.
Starting point is 02:08:29 That's probably the worst day of your life. And then there's sharks on top of that. So many survivors who watched so many of their fellow sailors eaten by sharks refused to ever go near water again in their life. Yeah, I don't blame for that. Like seasoned naval sailors, guys who grew up in the water, love the water. There was one guy who grew up on Martha's Vineyard, who then moved to Kansas after, I know it's funny, but this is like, Pete, like, you want to talk about PTSD and not recognizing mental health back then, this guy moved to Kansas. I actually think that's a pretty healthy way to deal with it, though.
Starting point is 02:09:15 Like, you realize I've got this terrible fear of getting eaten by a shark. So I'm going to go as far away as possible from any shark. It's a drastic life change. Like, you could just stay in your town and just not go into the ocean. But at the same time, he is like he's confronting his fear and managing it. So they were at sea for four days on life. boats and those who couldn't fit on life boats were floating in the water. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 02:09:48 All we heard was men being eaten alive every day, every night. You'd hear a blood-curdling scream and look and see someone going under. Harold, who died at the age of 96 in May this year told the sun online in 2019. In the victim's blood spread through the water, sharks, which can smell blood up to three miles away, were attracted to the defensive sailors, creating a beating frenzy. there was 900 boys out there decaying in misery sharks are going to swim through there and they're going to attack what's in their road
Starting point is 02:10:15 if I'm flopping around in their road they're going to take me on there and they only have to hit you once these guys heard men being eaten alive every day every night for four days oh my god that's pretty bad there was that movie that came out
Starting point is 02:10:30 open water do you remember that to people that go snorkeling or scuba diving and they're in a big group and they get left behind I think they were on their honeymoon. And so they miscounted the people that got back on the boat. And so they just left these two people in the water in the middle of the ocean.
Starting point is 02:10:48 And they had, you know, the apparatus is on where they could float for a long time. But they were just out there getting beaten by the sun. And then sharks started to circle them. And then they eventually died because the sharks just started to bite them. That would be terrifying. That'd be a pretty bad way to go. That's maybe the worst way to die. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:11:06 Yeah, it's up there. Just hanging out there. in the ocean waiting to get eaten? Yeah, you see that the sharks are about to eat you. Buried alive is up there. Yeah. Fire is pretty bad. My understanding...
Starting point is 02:11:22 If they're a witch, it's okay. This could be wrong. Fire is really bad for like a short period of time, but then it like burns all your nerve endings off and then you don't feel anything anymore. Now, it's excruciating for like a... however long i don't know and if you're lucky you die of the smoke inhalation faster right yeah that went viral after that isis video went viral then everyone's like isn't that you know
Starting point is 02:11:48 dying like that isn't that bad it's pretty i think it's terribly bad but oh no 100% that that that's where that fact came from but if you told me pick that or hang out in the water and wait to get eaten by sharks i think i'm picking fire i think so so colonel o' brady who we're having on next week he'll be in the office, he actually got severely burned in an accident. So you'll be able to ask him that question. Okay. Just off the top of your guys' heads, how many
Starting point is 02:12:17 sharks do you think people kill per year? That people kill? Yeah. 15,000. Sharks? How many people sharks kill? No way. No, no. How many sharks? People kill sharks. Oh, the
Starting point is 02:12:31 shark fin soup is so big in China. I was going to say like 75. $75,000 Billy A million A million Avery Yeah I'm gonna say like a buck 20
Starting point is 02:12:46 Somewhere in that 120,000 Yeah yeah 72 million sharks What? We're running up the score on these sharks Wait there's that many sharks Yeah we're fucking them up
Starting point is 02:12:56 A year? A year like sharks should be attacking us We're declaring war We're doing a shark holocaust If you ever heard Anthony Jiselnix thing about shark party No I won't I won't
Starting point is 02:13:07 do his bit, but he talks about how he, on his comedy central show, he would celebrate when someone got eaten by a shark because we kill so many sharks and they kill like no people. Yeah. And he has a, it's very funny. I mean, he makes a good point. 72 million sharks. That's so many sharks. Wait, PFT, I'm reading one that says 100 million sharks.
Starting point is 02:13:27 A hundred million. They just round it up. Yeah. So what, when the Chinese fishermen are trying to make shark soup, they just chop off all the fins and throw the rest of the body back. into the water and they just wriggle around with no fins jeez that's so fucked up yeah but then that attracts more sharks from the blood and then they just they're chum in the water with their brother you know their other sharks with no fins but they're also able to sneak up on people
Starting point is 02:13:56 a lot more effectively if they don't have the dorsal fin poking out of the water oh yeah they're dead yeah that's a good point how's that even possible it says for a hundred for every you 100 million sharks killed per year about 6 to 8 humans are killed by sharks every year. Yeah, we're running up the score on them. That's so scary. Well, also, it involves like nurse sharks, smaller sharks.
Starting point is 02:14:18 It's not all great whites. Right, obviously not all great whites. But still, that's a lot of sharks for us to be killing. Good. We're not killing enough. As long as one roam free, it is not enough. One is too many. Yeah. With all that, with all that blood facts of how much blood they can smell
Starting point is 02:14:36 and find. Sharks prefer to attack men. Sucks me, you guys. Have fun. Sharks are sexes. What if I don't identify as male? What if I was assigned male at birth but I don't identify? Are they transphobic? And there's not that many instances
Starting point is 02:14:53 of women being attacked during when they're most smellable by sharks. I want to... Billy say it. I've said enough Okay, well This is a fun step
Starting point is 02:15:10 Because you can You can look across the board Men die I think at a higher Much higher percentage than women When it comes to any sort of recreational activity Yeah, because we're guys are dumb Because we're stupid as shit
Starting point is 02:15:23 And we usually do have cuts on our body somewhere From doing something else that's stupid And so yeah, men definitely find themselves In an environment with a shark Way more often than women would You pride too much You should just stay out of it We pry?
Starting point is 02:15:36 Yeah. I thought we don't listen enough. No, you pry into situations you don't need to. Maybe, Big T, maybe we can find some common ground on the trans issue where, it's like if a shark attacks you, that there's no better way to determine what you're, what your sex is. Well, I want to do some research. I'm curious to know, do they respect the way people identify? There's two genders attacked by sharks and not attacked by sharks. Yeah. Would a shark attack Leah Thomas if it was in the pool with it?
Starting point is 02:16:09 That's a good question. Leah Thomas could probably out swim a shark. No, because Michael Phelps got to be. Oh, I forgot about that. That was a good shark week episode. No, it wasn't. It was not. It was actually the worst one.
Starting point is 02:16:21 No, I liked it. It was a fake shark. It was the fake shark, but I still got to know. No. That's a bad take. Sorry. Bad take, Mad Dog. Oh, so you know those shark skin swimsuits that they were wearing your 2018?
Starting point is 02:16:34 Beijing Olympics that they banned. Yeah. Designed off a shark skin. Yep, that's true. So shark fin soup, it's a delicacy. It's a traditional soup or stewed dish.
Starting point is 02:16:46 It actually sounds delicious. I want to try it. So they serve it at important occasions in China, Taiwan, Southeast Asia. So if you're at a wedding or a banquet or if you're just richest fog, it sounds like they'll make you some
Starting point is 02:16:58 shark fin soup. It's said to increase potency. It's like Ryan horn, I think. Yeah, I'm just saying all of those, all that medicine is like literally, it's all just chasing by Agra. It is. So here's what's fucked up about shark fin soup.
Starting point is 02:17:15 The taste of shark fin soup isn't even from the shark fin. The fin has no taste to it. It's the broth that they, that they cook it in that gives it the flavor that people like. It's just being like, yo, I'm eating a shark's fin right now that makes people feel good or it makes it seem like it's an exclusive dish to have. Same with the pangolins. Like everyone, they think that it's like Viagra, but really it's the pangolin scales and rhino horn is all just made of keratin, which is like fingernail.
Starting point is 02:17:50 So also, it's said that eating too much shark fin soup can actually cause sterility. So it does the exact opposite of what it's saying that it does. It also has high levels of mercury. and BMAA, which is a neurotoxin. And it can give you degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer's and Lou Gehrig's disease as well as Parkinson's disease. That sounds like propaganda. That sounds like Big Shark propaganda.
Starting point is 02:18:20 What about Baby Shark? Nobody took Baby Shark. Do do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Oh, I was looking in the conspiracy, Reddit, because whenever we have a topic, I look for any good ones. and one of them it came up was Baby Shark was a weapon to dumb down young children
Starting point is 02:18:38 How's that? Something about the song was so stupid that was supposed to make your baby's brain mush Let me just taught you about different different family members of the shark
Starting point is 02:18:49 My favorite was grandpa shark that didn't have any teeth anymore and you do this one with it Yeah That was cute Who was the Nationals player That had that as his walk-up song And it was the most annoying shit
Starting point is 02:19:01 Of all time Parra? Heraldo Para? I think it's Parra, yeah, because we used to call him Paras Shark. Yao Ming is a big anti-Shark Finn guy. So he campaigned against Shark Fin soup. Probably got a lot of shit for that. Thank you for standing up for what's right, Yao.
Starting point is 02:19:21 A 2016 poll from City University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Shark Foundation had 75% of local respondents saying they were neutral towards the soup, Well, 90% of respondents say they would eat the dish if served to them. I would, if somebody put shark fin soup in front of me, I would eat it. How do you guys? Because you got E-D? No, because my boners are too strong, and this could cause sterility.
Starting point is 02:19:50 Bring me back to life. Bring me back to normalcy. I don't know. I don't know if I would be okay with the morals behind it after this episode. I always try everything once, so yeah, I would have it. I mean, it's if it's in front of you. Yeah, of course. I don't want to be rude.
Starting point is 02:20:07 You also want to say you've had it. Yeah, and also, I want to respect the shark, and it's dead already. I don't want to let go to waste. It'd be worse if they'd just board it up. I would do it to disrespect the shark. Fucking shark. Once of my biggest haters' funeral just to make sure he was dead. Facts.
Starting point is 02:20:25 So now they serve imitation shark fin soup. I don't want that. shark fin soup yeah vegetarian shark fin soup i don't want that no that's soft you've actually probably already eaten shark how i might have i might have i might have had like a shark steak before because you can you can buy shark meat like in here yeah you can buy shark meat billy probably several good places in china town in china town yeah um so because so a lot of sharks end up in haddock or cod nets
Starting point is 02:21:00 and when all that gets processed and put into like a fillet fish or something sometimes the sharks end up in there too so Billy's just saying like you've had stray shark throughout the ears yeah yeah
Starting point is 02:21:12 have you ever had fish sticks so you're saying fish sticks have shark in them maybe maybe have you ever intentionally eaten shark Billy I've intentionally eaten cobra okay that's good
Starting point is 02:21:28 that's close yeah what it tastes like uh it's heart that's fucking cool and it's gallbladder where'd you do that um
Starting point is 02:21:40 uh Chinatown I can't trust anything you say ever I don't know Billy's ever been in China town I don't think he has I don't think he knows how to get there Billy's a latchkey kid I don't think you know I don't think you could get
Starting point is 02:21:56 to Chinatown. I don't think that you'd be able to purchase shark meat. That's your assignment when you come back. Just go find shark meat. That'd be cool. Yeah. No, but ever, but they ever since I've gotten older, I look more like a cop and they're like, this guy's definitely a wildlife officer. Billy, tilt your camera up just a little bit. Can't even see you. There you are.
Starting point is 02:22:20 Yeah, I would not serve Billy. I would not. I'd be like, you have to tell me this is entrapment. Billy, let's talk about your experience on the most dangerous game show. The most dangerous game show. Yeah, I mean, honestly, I figured out. Let me set the table real quick. Billy participated in yet another challenge here at Barcelona Sports, which he did not win. In fact, he got eliminated on the very first day.
Starting point is 02:22:49 Yeah, what episode was won the least? Yeah, correct. What episode of this show was Billy on when he was there? couldn't tell us. April or May. Yeah. It was May. I can look.
Starting point is 02:22:59 He was at an undisclosed location, but that was the show. Yeah. It was in, uh, I think it was in, yeah, it was in May. I, getting eliminated was the worst because I was just in solitary confinement for the rest of the time and I went nuts. I was going nuts before. I was having so much fun until I got eliminated. You were drunk.
Starting point is 02:23:18 I mean, there were literally, we were being just like fed alcohol. You had to drink. You had to get drunk for the time. How long was it? from the time you arrived until the time you were off the show. Was it all in the same day? No, I was on the show. I slept one night.
Starting point is 02:23:35 Got it. It's probably 48 hours. And why do you think you got eliminated? Because the snakes manipulated people. I was an easy target. And honestly, if you look, I don't watch Survivor, but it's a common tactic. There's a lot of classic storyline. that people try to do the producers directors very skilled guys honestly was a greatly produced show
Starting point is 02:24:03 but part of it is manipulating the cast and there's a lot of leading questions and I know what happened but like for example there were suggestions that are made that like little things that you think were just like B-roll footage ends up being major like parts of the show it's it's very crafty how it all went up. So in shocking news, it's everyone else's fault, but Billy that he got eliminated. No, no, no. I got eliminated because they thought I was the strongest competitor, but it's so stupid because, actually, that'll spoil everything. They'll spoil, wait, let me watch my sake, I don't want to spoil anything. But, like, for example, like Sydney Wells was crying when I was originally voted off. Like, that was something
Starting point is 02:24:51 that happened, but they didn't include any of that. in the show because it didn't fit like the heel narrative that everyone hated me and wanted me off but oh no it's weird okay so um so what happened what did what did you do i didn't scheme i didn't make any alliances i was basically like you know what i'm gonna be the guy that just has fun uh mess around a little bit uh like have fun camping and then if i uh like don't connive behind other people's back and like try to like do stuff I was I wore my heart in my sleeve I just said I think we should vote out Tommy because if we don't vote out Tommy now you know he's probably going to connive his way into winning and uh I got voted out because Tommy saw
Starting point is 02:25:43 that I said that I wanted to vote him out and he like connives his way into getting me voted out through bibs what was stressful about the show you just said off camera that they put you in a high stress environment what did you have to do well when you first arrived there you have no idea what's going on i didn't know what the rules the game was i was literally reading the short story most dangerous game and being like we might get hunted this might literally be like a most dangerous game is a super rich guy just hunts people because they are the most dangerous game top predator so i thought that we were being told to show up in that we might get you know paintballed or something i was ready for like fight or flight uh i thought it was
Starting point is 02:26:28 going to be more survival more like naked afraid type stuff like man versus wild and uh i got there and realized it was more you know just like challenges nothing like actual i don't know i totally prepared like you know jeff de low was watching it and he interviewed me after and he was like dilly like you looked like you were in the wrong game show you had no idea what was going on. And I don't watch Survivor. I don't watch any of these, like, game shows. So, I mean, I didn't know how to strive toize for it. And I was, yeah, I was having fun. I probably was having the most fun out of anybody at camp. So what did you have to eat? They made you eat something gross, right? Yeah, they Bill Gates me and made me, uh, us eat
Starting point is 02:27:14 bugs. It was actually pretty good. Like, comparatively, the protein content of those bugs blended up, like was up there with way um so i think it was actually like as equal to like a muscle milk uh it was pretty easy to choke down it was just on the second one they mixed the bugs with thick water you know that thick water from lowering the bar yeah so if you chug any of that too fast too much you're going to puke did you puke yeah it's actually a super six slow mo all right check out billy's super six loom of him puking Overall, would you say it was a fun time or was it a bad experience? It was, it was, it was, it got, like, Stanford Prison Experiment type thing.
Starting point is 02:28:00 It caused people to snap. Okay, well, you can tune into it. Where can they find it, Billy? YouTube, Barstall, YouTube. Check it out, parcel YouTube. Very excited to watch how that turns out. It's sad that you didn't win, though. I thought for sure, this was your, this was going to be your time.
Starting point is 02:28:15 You'll win one of these. When all those episodes are over, I will give a greater. input but I don't want to spoil anything. You will win one of these I know you're due Billy yeah I mean after losing lowering the bar I feel like Billy would have done
Starting point is 02:28:33 really well on surviving bar stool like staying in the office for a week I don't think so no I don't think so I don't think Billy is cut out for competitions I am I'm extremely competitive I think Billy I think Billy being in the wilderness
Starting point is 02:28:48 gave him a superiority complex that him being in the office would not have. Maybe. I think Billy came in, you were too confident. That would be a sick idea for a game show, though, if it was Dave hunting people. Yeah, I mean, that's kind of what I thought was going to happen.
Starting point is 02:29:06 I thought everyone was going to hunt us. So I was in this, like, I was like in this mode where I, like, I thought I was like a feral human. That was, that was me out there in the woods. I was like mentally preparing to like, just like, be an animal in the woods okay but you put yourself into that mindset you realize that yeah it's like like this type of this exact scenario is why you don't win any competitions
Starting point is 02:29:29 because you prepare yourself for the wrong types of things yeah 100% all right but one day when it's one of those situations that is extremely uh volatile i will come out on top chaos is ladder okay so uh billy you know the guy that said that gets killed right who said that little finger do you not know what do you not know what that's from yeah okay well it doesn't end well for the guy who says that yeah but that was the same before he said it no i don't think so uh it's from game of thrones chaos isn't a pit chaos is a ladder so billy my suggestion to you next time you find yourself in one of these competitions
Starting point is 02:30:18 in order to not overthink things so much and maybe chill out a little bit, try some Three Chi. If you live in a state where marijuana is legal or not, Three Chi now offers federally legal dispensary grade Delta 9 THC products that deliver straight to your door. In case you didn't know, Delta 9 THC is the active ingredient in marijuana that gets you high, which means Three Chi is now selling the same edibles that you get from a marijuana dispensary, but at a lower price and they deliver directly to your door.
Starting point is 02:30:48 How is this even possible? Science. 3Chi uses Delta 9 from hemp, which is the exact same as taking it for marijuana, except it makes their products federally legal. Get 5% off all 3C's premium THC products by going to 3C.com. That's the number 3CHA.com. Use promo code stool 5 to take 5% off your order. Must be 21 or older to purchase because it is psychoactive. So start small, take a little nibble, see how it hits you.
Starting point is 02:31:17 and then use promo code Stool 5, take 5% off that next order, too. Must be 21 or older to purchase. All right, so let's get back to the show. You guys want to wrap things up with some voicemails? Show. Billie, can you do voicemails?
Starting point is 02:31:35 Yeah, yeah. What's up, y'all? It's Joe from Atford, Ohio. shout-out mad dog. There's got a question about football, specifically, the teams that you guys associated yourself to a big C, B, and Tennessee, I felt me very relevant. But then the commanders were in PFT,
Starting point is 02:32:02 and then the chefs for Billy Football. So as a Brown fan, I myself, have never once really believed that we've had a big shot of ever winning anything, and I kind of still don't. So with your teams kind of being, you know, on the same boat as the Browns. You're going to shout out back then.
Starting point is 02:32:19 What keeps you going in your fandom? I mean, do you really think you ever going to win anything? Because, again, as a Brown fan,
Starting point is 02:32:25 I don't. So, all right, let me know. All right, he's basically just saying, hey, your team sucks.
Starting point is 02:32:32 Sorry. Why do you root for this suck you bunch of socks? Yeah. I want to, I think for college football, it's very different
Starting point is 02:32:39 than the NFL. Yeah. Because the NFL, like, there's one thing to win, it's the Super Bowl. In college football, like,
Starting point is 02:32:45 Tennessee, I expect and I can. I think Tennessee could have a very good year this year and lose three, maybe four games. Tennessee's probably very likely going to lose to Alabama and Georgia. They could lose to LSU. But if they beat Florida, who they've beaten once since 2004, if they beat Kentucky,
Starting point is 02:33:07 if they beat Pitt on the road, like when all those games go nine and three. That's a very good season that any Tennessee fan would be happy with. So I think it's different for college football. Yeah, there are like five teams in college football where it's national championship or bust. Right. And that would be Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Ohio State. That's probably, yeah, they're in their own. Oklahoma maybe, yeah. No. I feel like Oklahoma has had that mentality. They've gotten to the college football playoff, but they were never in that category. But I think their fans think that way, where they're like,
Starting point is 02:33:40 well, not anymore. They might not anymore. Or they shouldn't. They do, but they shouldn't. But Like, yeah, like, college football is very different. There's five times the amount of teams. Like, you can have a good season without winning a national title. There's only been three or four teams to win a national title in the last decade. Where do you think that falls for Notre Dame fans? I will tell you. They still think there.
Starting point is 02:34:01 Are they one of the ones where it's like national championship or bust? Not necessarily national championship or bust, but they think that they are in that category. Yeah. Now, like, if they go to the playoff and win, like, if they got to the national title, game and lost. I feel like there are a lot of Notre Dame fans who would be like, you know, whatever. Yeah, they're probably very happy about that. Yeah, but they do still think they're in that category, absolutely. Yeah. But with the Browns, where do you stand on that? It's, I mean, it's one of those things where it's like you grow up, it's a nostalgia thing.
Starting point is 02:34:31 Like, you grow up loving, I mean, sure, it's the same for the commanders and like you grow up loving a team and they suck and they suck a lot. And what am I going to do? Go become a Cowboys fan. Like, you're, you're kind of, I mean, too late. A lot of people do that. And those people should go to jail Right So like It's one of those things Where it's like
Starting point is 02:34:50 Yeah the Browns suck And they've disappointed me a lot But it's like I'm not gonna go become a Like Yankees Cowboys You know Fan just because my team is bad In a way isn't it
Starting point is 02:35:01 Nice rooting for a shitty team Because There's no expectations Are so low Yeah I've said forever I'm happy if we make the playoffs That's as good as Super Bowl
Starting point is 02:35:09 I'm happy if we go 500 I've said forever Being like an Alabama football fan is not fun like they could go 13 and 1 and be like that was a shitty season. Like I've said forever, I want each of the teams I like to win a championship once. The Braves have done it.
Starting point is 02:35:25 I can, the Braves don't have to do anything for the rest of my life as far as I'm concerned. I would like UT to win a basketball and football and baseball national title. I'd like the Preds to win. The Falcons and Hawks, like I don't even really care that much. But like I wouldn't want to be a fan of a team that is like, you either need to win the title or you suck.
Starting point is 02:35:44 Like that's not fun A Patriots fan Or like Yeah You know that the Hawks Will never win anything Oh absolutely Yeah
Starting point is 02:35:50 I don't care The Falcons might If you have a good If you draft a good quarterback Yeah Because the Hawks will never The NBA is so dependent Upon free agency now
Starting point is 02:36:02 They're like the Hawks Will never get Somebody like that But in the NFL Yeah you could draft I mean they did draft A very good quarterback Who should have won one
Starting point is 02:36:10 But yeah The Falcons could But yeah, I wouldn't want to be a fan of a team like that. I also think for the Browns specifically, I mean, I think a lot of people from Cleveland just think that there's a curse or there's something upon like Browns draft picks that they will suck when they're on the Browns and then go have incredible careers somewhere else. Like that's like I'm half expecting Baker Mayfield to like win MVP like next season just because it's like you get out of Cleveland and all of a sudden your career just skyrockets. And that's why, like, everyone from Cleveland loves Joe Thomas so much because he was so good and is a Hall of Famer and had a terrible, you know, lifetime win-loss average. But, like, he's one of the best offensive linemen ever. Miles Garrett, he's pretty good for you guys.
Starting point is 02:37:00 He's very good for us. So he's the one guy that's like, okay, he's sticking around. As far as draft picks go, we nailed that one. Nailed him. Nick Chubb. Yeah. Nick Chubb squatting like 700 pounds or whatever that was. That's terrifying.
Starting point is 02:37:16 That's too much weight. It's too much weight for running back. The bar was, I mean, almost curled back in on itself. Yeah, when it, when it, I know it's like a specific bar. Like, it's not like a metal one, but when it looks like that, yeah, I think it's too much weight. If it ain't bending, you're pretending. Billy, what's the most weight you've ever squatted? 475 pounds.
Starting point is 02:37:36 That's not that much. I was hoping for a little bit more. I'll be honest. I did 410 one time Not to break Thanks my dog Just saying We're just guys talking about our squat backses
Starting point is 02:37:49 I've squatted 750 Oh shit Just saying It's pretty impressive All right Wait why do you root for the commander's on Same thing Yeah same same thing
Starting point is 02:37:57 It's very low Expectation so it's fine It's also kind of fun to root When your team becomes comically bad It becomes a little bit fun again Oh in 16 season like There's two yeah their own 16 season there's usually not two weeks go by where the commanders don't do something
Starting point is 02:38:14 that's just they continue to surpass my expectations for how much a franchise can embarrass itself that's another thing about college that I think is better and this is also uniquely University of Tennessee also but when you're that bad and you're like okay are we going to fire the coach and then you get just weeks of rumors of like this booster talk to this guy and he's ponying up that's fun pay the buyout that's I enjoy coaching searches more than I enjoy Tennessee football seasons. Yeah. It's fun.
Starting point is 02:38:41 You also loved the head coaching video game. Yeah. I feel like you like the logistics of football. By the way, I might have a contact that can get us that video game. Really? Yeah. So we're going to have to do that. We're going to have to play that.
Starting point is 02:38:56 Love that. All right. Next voicemail. What's up Macrago-Sing? Question for you. If the Earth is located in space are we in space on
Starting point is 02:39:12 earth if we could just answer that for me this guy is the highest guy I want to we just end the show so basically he's asking it's a high question I heard what he asked yeah we are in space but isn't it both
Starting point is 02:39:30 yeah we're in space space is in us too yeah we're in space well you're made of dead stars so Oh, that's sick. You are stardust. Allegedly. So are you, Big Tee.
Starting point is 02:39:43 No, space is fake. Buy the T-shirt. When it comes out. That dude is the highest person ever. Yeah. All right, we got another voicemail. Yep, one more. Again, I got a quick question for y'all.
Starting point is 02:39:57 So if you went to jail and then got out, how would you like to be picked up in jail? This can be what kind of vehicle? we'll be picking you up who's picking you up what they brought with them uh what music is playing is i'll drive off um and click however long you love uh however long you want to jail see whether it's just a little weekend or you know 30 and got out let me know and stay handsome slash beautiful but you can't celebrate getting out of jail if you're just there for a weekend
Starting point is 02:40:39 you should still be ashamed that you're getting out of jail if it's just a couple day prison sentence I would like to be picked up maybe in an El Camino blasting some like bitch in Southern Rock that'd be sick I want I want a hot McDonald's double quarter pounder with cheese I want two orders of large French fries
Starting point is 02:41:01 a regulation coke a regulation yeah like diesel like coke Coca Cola classic yeah coke heavy exactly I don't want to start calling it regulation Coke yeah regulation coke and then I also want an ice cold
Starting point is 02:41:16 Coorslight mountains extra blue to polish off my second batch of fries that's my ideal situation so you're going regulation Coke another fry then Coorslight yep exactly I think the perfect jail stint would be a Monday to Friday getting out Friday at 5
Starting point is 02:41:33 getting picked up in a pickup truck blasting some classic rock with a couple of coolers of Coors light in the back and there's steaks to be grilled okay but then you have to look at the stakes on the way home you don't get to eat them yet
Starting point is 02:41:49 there's someone grilling the bed of the pickup truck as we pulled up got it okay hot dogs very cool anyone else I would like to be picked up in the business vehicle of a person who I befriended preparing me to go to jail with changes by Tupac playing as we ride off into the distance.
Starting point is 02:42:14 That is the ending to Get Hard. Okay. Will Ferrell Kevin Hart movie. It's a good song. Hollywood Luxury Bubbles. It's a good song. Great movie, by the way. I've never seen it.
Starting point is 02:42:24 Very underrated. Very good movie. Okay, I got to check it out. Mm-hmm. Good movie. So Billy is gone from the call Yeah He just left
Starting point is 02:42:33 There's some clients in Andorah that he has to Need to be entertained Yes to be meeting with right now Consider them to be definitely entertained That's my new I laugh every time now I see a tweet from you That says entertaining clients
Starting point is 02:42:43 Yeah it's the best It's the best euphemism of all time Billy stumbled across it So we're thankful that he was able to do that Yeah I think like if you get out of jail You just want to party right Yeah I'd want to get picked up in a helicopter Oh
Starting point is 02:42:56 That'd be sick too alone away. Although I don't think I'll ever ride in a helicopter. They scare me. You're not an helicopter guy? They scare me. Well, you can't do heights.
Starting point is 02:43:04 Yeah. Helicopters are terrifying. Planes, at least I'm indoors in a plane helicopter. It's too close to the outside. The doors are open. They're badass because they can land pretty much anywhere.
Starting point is 02:43:15 Like, I think if you can get over the part of being in it for the time, the landing, just like you touching down and then getting out of a helicopter or even getting in one, I think that's like sick. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:43:25 I also think motorcycle would be pretty cool. that'd be a great way to leave jail getting the side car side car did you put the goggles on let's go the open road nothing like it yeah yeah those are all good choices or a boat if you're on Alcatraz
Starting point is 02:43:40 and you just get on a boat and leave that'd be sick too yeah or if you're Michael Cohen you could have just called an Uber yeah that was one of the crazier parts of that entire I want to look into that more and see how true that is
Starting point is 02:43:55 it sounds like a great place to stay Yeah. It sounds like a five-star hotel. Yeah. Like, I would like to go to that prison. That's funded by your tax dollars. Everything's taken care of for you. Do you think the government should run prisons?
Starting point is 02:44:08 No. You think private company should run prisons? Well, kind of. Yes, I think the government should run prisons, but far, like, it shouldn't cost as much as they do. Okay, so we should run prisons but not schools. Yes. Aren't private prisons worse? Well, everything's motivated by their stock price
Starting point is 02:44:34 and the publicly traded one, so they just cut back on everything. So there's some stuff that's not... Regulation. It's like dangerous to live in prison. Now you can talk about whether or not... Like, it should not be a walk in the park if you're in prison,
Starting point is 02:44:47 but also you should be able to survive. What publicly traded companies like own prisons? Let's look them up right now. They all have, like, very vague, like... Remember when we did the episode we talked about the most sinister sounding... They sound like that. ...corporation names.
Starting point is 02:45:04 Wait, so their whole corporation is just owning prisons, though. Yep, they own prisons for profit. Then they get state contracts to build and run prisons. Okay. Let's see. It's an odd business to get into. Core Civic. GEO is another one.
Starting point is 02:45:21 And then it says that Palantir also runs prisons. I know that Palantir does some other stuff contracting to the government I didn't know that they ran prisons I didn't know either I have stock in Palantir do you yep Avery
Starting point is 02:45:32 they collect a shitload of data they have everybody's data Wait what's Palantir Software company It's run by Peter Thiel I think it's still run by Peter Thiel Because he owns someone He was one of the PayPal guys
Starting point is 02:45:46 With Elon and then Snapchat too I think He does I think he was one of the people I know yeah So yeah they do they do data analytics so they work with every company they know everything about you that's what they do speaking of Elon Musk did we talk about yeah we talked about it last week yeah it looks great
Starting point is 02:46:06 with his sister oh yeah that thing um yeah his his sister had two kids with his dad did we talk about that last week we did not but she was she was raised by his father since she was four years old. So he's a stepdaughter of his dad, but he raised her from being a kid, and now he's got two kids with her. Pretty creepy stuff. Pretty creepy. Not a fan of Errol Musk. I'm just going to say it. Also, I'm on the Palantir website, and this website is scary. What does it say? Nothing real. It says foundational software of tomorrow delivered today, and it's talking about that we build software that empowers organizations to effectively integrate their data decisions and operations but it's like it looks like a dystopian website like it's all white and very clean
Starting point is 02:47:03 um yes very scary don't love her also it just has a picture of like trucks I like that on like almost it looks like an airplane hanger um yeah no it's it doesn't say anything about um
Starting point is 02:47:26 anything good anything safe that's so you can always tell if a company's evil or not if you can't figure out what it is they do by looking at their website are they about us we deliver solutions to companies
Starting point is 02:47:41 if it's like you can do like a contact us thing and it's like interested in solving your problems with Palantine Software like yeah no oh wait also before we leave I met Childish Campino on Friday Oh really? I saw that Yeah, we're at
Starting point is 02:47:55 He was in my spin class No way Yeah he was spinning right behind me I walked in and I was like Holy shit is that Childish Campito? You see hi to him? Yeah I took a picture with him Really? Yeah
Starting point is 02:48:07 He's on Instagram? I put on my Instagram story I'll show you Okay I was like I walked in I was like That man it was 730 I was like, that man looks suspiciously like Childish Gambino. And then I was like, am I just being racist? And then I like looked up
Starting point is 02:48:22 and he said something, like his wife was with him and he said something. I was like, that's Troy from community. Like I know who that is. And then his locker was right next to mine and I was like, oh my God, I was losing my shit. And then we walked in together to the spin class. He was on the bike right behind me. And I was like, holy shit, I'm spinning with Chadish Gambino. Did you pedal harder?
Starting point is 02:48:43 Oh, I was, I put on the performance. of a lifetime because I was like I can't have Chelsea Canbino think I'm weak and then he couldn't get his shoes out of the because you know how yeah you got stuck in the clips like Joe Biden a little bit so then after the class I was like you have to say something like it's different when you see celebrities on the street or like in the office here like I was in a spin class with Chelsea can be no so then I our lockers were right next to each other after class I'm like dripping and sweat and I was just like hey I love your work and he was like oh my God thank you so much and I was like yeah do you
Starting point is 02:49:14 mind if we get a picture and he was like oh yeah sure and then took a selfie with Josh Gambino and then I told him I liked his outfit and he was like I knew people would fuck with it I said I do and then I said I loved him and I ran away that's quite interesting he sounds like a nice guy very nice now I want him to be in all my spend classes but like we were spinning to stir fry by migos and he was like dancing I was like I bet he knows megos yeah that's crazy to think about you need him in your classes just to like to motivate you right I was like you could just start singing right now. Yeah. Like I would feel the same way. If somebody that I knew was in a spin class with me or like watching me work out in the gym, I would be like, I have to show out for
Starting point is 02:49:54 this person. Right. It's different when it's a ton of strangers. But then I was like, holy shit, it's Josh's Camino. And he wasn't like on the other side of the room. He was like directly behind me. He was staring at that ass. I'm hoping that because his wife was right next to. Okay. But I was like, oh my God. This is insane. What if he's like one of the weird mad dog stands out there now? I hope not. Did you tell him that you? that you worked for barstle so okay so the whole class so though i had 45 minutes to think about a script of what i was going to say and i was like i don't say that right because i i was nervous that he was going to say no and then i didn't know what to say he said yes to taking a picture thank
Starting point is 02:50:30 god but i was like i was like do i say oh hey i work i work with aryan foster i didn't know if you knew who arian was like i didn't know what i didn't know what cards to pull i didn't just didn't say anything wallow and gilly like it in the hip-hop community they are are gods. Right. But then I didn't want to just be like, hey, I'm like, I work with black people. Like that sounds bad. At that point, you're just like, you're listing like, do you know this black person? Right. Exactly. Yeah. I, I think you played it. I think you played it well. Yeah. I was going to mention Aryan because then I was like, okay, well, Aryan's also a rapper. So like, I don't know the community of like who they know that they're similar. He probably
Starting point is 02:51:05 knows Tommy Alter. I'm sure Tommy Alter knows who Childish Campino is. Yeah. Or knows Chalda I would bet. I would bet millions of dollars that Tommy knows him. Right. So I almost was like, oh like I work with Tommy Alter but then I was like I don't really know Tommy so then I just got nervous and I was like don't pull any cards just ask for a picture and leave She said I work with Ben Mence You're like the King of the South
Starting point is 02:51:25 Yeah wow Can you get an intro? Yeah So yeah that's my little I was really excited about that Very cool Yeah you see any famous people Big T Trying to think the last famous person I saw The only one that I've seen out on the street of New York
Starting point is 02:51:42 This is like the most I don't know if anybody will get this reference. The home-mec teacher from the Disney Channel original movie, Eddie's million-dollar cook-off. She walked by me, like, at my apartment one time, I was like, holy shit, that's the woman from Eddie's million-dollar cook-off. And I was like, that's fucking awesome. I love that movie. Yeah, she was like right outside my apartment. Other than that, I don't think I've really ever seen anybody like here, other than people that come into the office.
