Arian Foster and PFT Commenter discuss Trump's deleted post depicting himself as Jesus, Eric Swalwell's sexual assault allegations and subsequent withdrawal from California governor's race, and various cultural and political topics including the Masters golf tournament, baseball season, and Melania Trump's press conference denying Epstein connections.
Insights
- Political scandals have become so normalized that citizens are desensitized to controversial behavior, making it difficult for any single incident to shift public opinion
- Media timing and coordination of scandal revelations can appear strategically orchestrated, raising questions about whether accusations emerge based on political convenience rather than victim readiness
- The contrast between how different political figures face accountability reveals inconsistent standards applied across party lines in mainstream discourse
- Celebrity and influencer presence at traditionally exclusive events like the Masters reflects broader cultural shifts in gatekeeping and access to elite institutions

In what's quickly becoming the most popular new party game around, players are secretly assigned unique roles with the good guys trying to expose the bad guys and the bad guys doing everything they can to stay hidden. Each game unfolds under alternating day and night phases with roles like the cool chick, the shy guy, the gambler, El Presidente, the mentalist, the planner, the funny guy and more. Every round is unpredictable, chaotic and ridiculously fun. Who's the bad guy? Is great for parties, pre-games, family gatherings or groups who just love deception based games. Game night will never be the same. Shop now on Walmart.com. Yeah, and it's the day went on and it was just like, here's what it is in my day. My dad came to me and said, well son, as long as the Canadian League, I said, we're gonna get them. Oh, come on. This is trying to be supportive. You might have been a top five pick. Let's see if I fell. Oh, I had killed it out there. Yeah. Welcome back to Nano Dosing. It is Tuesday. It's April 14th. Get your taxes in for tomorrow. Today's episode is brought to you by Magnolia Pictures and the new movie Normal. From the creator of John Wick and Nobody, comes the new movie Normal, a double-barreled shotgun blast of pure mayhem for Sheriff Ulysses, played by Bob Odenkirk. A new job as a temporary sheriff in the quaint town of Normal, Minnesota, was meant to be a welcome respite from recent troubles. But when a botched bank robbery interrupts the peace, dark secrets expose and Ulysses discovers that the town of Normal is anything but directed by Ben Wheatley, starring Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Heady. See it only in theaters April 17th. It is Normal. Bob Odenkirk, the man, one of our greatest actors. Respite. Respite. Respite. Respite. A good respite. We are taking a respite from our weekend break. Is that a correct way to say it? You're taking a break from your break? Break from a break. I mean, it is kind of. We're back. We're back. It is nanodosing myself, Arian Big T, Mad Dog McKenzie, all here today. The Masters is over. Congrats, I guess, to Rory. Kind of an underwhelming Masters tournament. I was hoping for a little bit more drama. I can see Arian disagrees with me. I think it's a very underwhelming Masters tournament. I mean, listen, congrats to our guy, Jake Knapp, right? Right, Arian? Great finish by our guy. All the Napsters out there. Yeah, super happy for him. He got his ticket punched in next year's tournament as well. Yeah, and Max Homer played well. I will be betting on him again. I will too. But you don't think it was underwhelming? No, it was a star-studded thing at the beginning. Rory came out firing on all cylinders. The field came back and caught up to him and it was a back and forth through the whole day. So, it was underwhelming. We didn't get that much drama at the end. I mean, Rory looked like he might choke a couple of times, but he won by two strokes. One stroke. He won by one stroke? One stroke, I'm sorry. Yeah, he got that bogey on the last hole and he saved. When he was in the trees, it looked like there might be an incident of a double. I don't know. I thought that the last round was somewhat underwhelming. Maybe it's mostly the result of it that I wasn't a huge fan of. You don't like Rory winning? Not particularly. I would have liked to see some more drama with it though. I'm glad that Rory won last year, but I don't need to see Rory winning all the time now. Why? Because I want my guys to win. I want the Max Homers of the world to win. I want the Jake Knapps of the world to win. I really would have liked to see Justin Rose win. I feel bad for that guy. That would have been dope. Yeah. I just like good golf. Good golf. It was good golf all across the board. It was a tough course. I like to see when pros struggle. Mm-hmm. And they were struggling on all those greens at first, especially Thursday and Friday, really firm. And so it was fun watching that. Aaron, did you watch any baseball over the weekend? I have watched no baseball this season. I'm worried. It's interesting. I'm worried that we're losing it for you. Baseball? Yeah. No, no, no. I'm just giving myself still a little bit of break. I'm going to lock back in soon. It's just I could, last season was too much. I watched almost every game of the entire season. That's awesome. I can't do that. Yeah, no, I can't do that this year. How many a week? What's ideal? Three? I think I'm going to watch two or three. If I watch two or three a week, I'll be fine. Okay. Did you happen to find out what happened over the weekend to your brewers? I have not. What happened? Get the brooms out. Got swept by the Nats. Oh, yeah. I did see those playing the Nats. I didn't catch it. I should ask you to bet some push-ups on that series, but I forgot to. We should have, they should have did it. Are there any left in that? I think there might be 20 push-ups left. That's insane. I think there's got to be, it's got to be capped in a year. No. Although I guess we're still within a year. We're still within a year, yeah. 20 years from now. I could hit him up for five if I want to do my push-ups. Yep. I could be, yeah. I could be 75 years old and get a call from Aaron. I got a drop. I got 200%. Oh, real quick. I told you, I'm on a group chat, but I totally forgot to, last week, the Artemis mission, the Artemis mission. Well, so I didn't even know we was, we were sending somebody up. I just kind of bit disconnected for a minute. And I got an email from NASA that says, the pilot, Victor Glover, put me on his list to communicate with him up there while he traversed into the stars. And I was like, shh, spam what the fuck is this? So I looked at him like, oh shit, I didn't know we were sending things up. So Victor Glover was on my podcast, I think it was like 2018. I had went to NASA, interviewed at NASA, had a really dope conversation. And we always kept in touch since then. And I remember him a couple of years back saying, hey, I'm going to put you on a list. I just didn't think nothing of it. And then I get an email from NASA. That's how I found out we had a mission, was I got an email from NASA. So that was pretty dope. So I emailed him while he was up there and it was, I guess, pretty hard for him to communicate. He hit me back and that was cool. And he said he wants to play golf and shit. So shout out to them. The whole crew, shout out to NASA. That was a really dope moment for the human species. That's very cool. Do you think you'd want to come on this show? Oh, yeah, he would in Harpy. Yeah. I'd like to talk to him about it. I saw the video of them on reentry. That shit was crazy as the, as the craft like goes through the atmosphere and it's what, like 5,000 degrees outside the capsule at their end and the heat shield is like an inch thick. And that's all that's separating them from 5,000 degrees and inside it's like 72 degrees. Wow. Absolutely insane. Yeah. It's also been fun watching Flat Earthers scramble. It's been a tough week for the Flat Earthers. Yeah. Yeah. But on the other hand, I also think that it's given them like a lot of new source material to work with. Like they're getting a bunch of new pictures that they can look at and make up stories about and like a bunch of like brand new lore is dropping for them too. Do Flat Earthers believe the moon is round or is it also flat? Some people I think believe it's a projection. Okay. Some people I think believe that it's round. Some people believe that it's flat. There's like all these different schisms where it's different sex. Yeah. There's a bunch of different sex and they all believe in different versions of the same thing and they can't agree on what is the truth. I googled Flat Moon Theory. Flat Moon Theory is an acoustic folk bluegrass band based in Tallahassee, Florida. That sounds fine. That's actually a solid band name. I like that name. 310 followers on YouTube. So go give those guys a listen. It's a great name. Solid band name. When Heart in a Cage seems to be their most popular song. Oh, that might be a cover. All right. Never mind. It is pretty cool though that we're going back to the moon. We're planning a different spot to land on. We're going to send a manned mission back to the surface of the moon. We're going again? Yeah. Well, I think the purpose really of this trip, among other things, was to orbit the moon and pick out new landing spots and where we might be able to set up for a longer visit, I think. Okay. So yeah, we're going back. When are we going to Mars? We got robots up there, right? We won't be alive. I don't think we'll be alive for that one. You don't think so? Oh, I think so. I don't think they solved the radiation issue yet, have they? Exposed to radiation that long? I could be wrong about that, but to my knowledge, if my memory serves me correctly, I think I don't think we've solved that. Maybe they haven't. According to NASA's long-term goals, the late 2030s or early 2040s, they want to go to Mars. Okay, we can do that. So with the bureaucracy, let's call it 2050. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to be old as fuck, but we can do that. Yeah. All right. We got a lot to get into today. A lot happened over the weekend besides the Masters Golf Tournament, besides the Nationals sweeping the Brewers decisively on the road in Milwaukee, I might add. Are y'all in third place? I think we're in fourth place. I think we're ahead. I lose track. Yeah. I do too. Especially this time of year, all the teams are kind of together. That's the thing about it. Well, the Braves are in first and then they're all the others are kind of together. You guys have like a two game lead. A two game lead in 16 games is a lot. Yeah, I'm just saying it's a two game lead. Everybody else is bunched up around like eight and seven, seven and eight. Yeah. I think we're... Yeah, we're bottom seconds to last in front of the Cubs still, but we're eight and seven, the leading Pittsburgh Pirates are at nine and six. That's a thorough thing. Hey, congrats to Pittsburgh. Congrats to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Fun team. They're leading the division. They're a fun team. They just signed a young prospect to an incredible extension. They're spending money. Don't look up and see what's happening with the CBA next year in baseball, but... It's actually if you are a fan of a team and there's a player that you would like to sign and give an extension to, you should be hoping that you get it done this year because if you get it done this year, you're getting kind of a discount baked into the contract because after the new CBA gets signed, if we even have a season next year, whatever the next CBA is going to be, is going to be definitely more friendly to the players. They're going to get paid more money. So if you lock up your guy right now, you can kind of get it at a discount before that CBA. Arian, are you aware of who Connor Griffin is? Connor Griffin's... The kid we're talking about, this is going to make you wish you played baseball. He is 19 and he just made his debut. This is his first season and he signed it. Is it nine years, 140 million before he ever played a game? Yeah, man, picked the wrong sport. And then he'll be 28. So then he'll sign another nine or 10 years. I mean, if what they think he's going to be, that'll be a $600 million contract. Yeah, pretty good. Yeah. Pretty good. And shout out to the Pirates for doing it. It's a nobody thought that nutting would have done it and nothing did it. Happy nutting day to everybody who celebrates. It's good to see the Pirates doing some damage, at least being competitive. Did you know that the Pirates have never won their division? They've only made it as a wild card? Well, no, I mean, like the Pirates have never won the division that they're in right now. Oh, so they won that in L East. Yes, yes. But they've never won the central. Pretty crazy, right? When did that? Yeah. Was that like 90s? When did they, I don't know when that realignment happened. 1994. Probably when, yeah, when the, the rays and the Rockies. Yeah, that sounds right. Yeah. So they've never won that division. I would like to see it. They won the NLEs nine times. Yeah, congrats to them. This season baseball is, it's fun, but I think there's a lot of teams out there that actually know what they, there have been a lot of teams that have overperformed their expectations. Like it can, is it even too early to say like what teams are the biggest disappointment so far? I mean, Cubs have had a slow start. The Mets. Mets and Yankees. I'm just going off Frank to tanks tweets, by the way, when I talk about the Mets slow start, they might be in, they might be in second place. No, they might be half game behind the Braves. They and the Yankees, I believe have both lost five in a row. Okay. So. You already crashing out? Oh yeah. Oh no, the Mets are in last place. Okay, love that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but it's early 10% of the season done. That is actually more than I thought it would be. 10% over. Yeah, 16. Damn. All right. Well, let's see. What else we want to talk about from this weekend? Big T, you went viral. Yeah, man. I don't know. I don't know what people want. It's fine. You're giving it to him though. What do you mean? Like what people want. Oh yeah, I suppose so. As I've explained to y'all, I don't get Twitter notifications. So I just know that people were mad. I don't know what they're mad about. I don't know. That's the extent of my knowledge. Yeah. So I had my buddy, the Biv hit me up this weekend and he was like, is Big T doing all right? I was like, oh yeah, he's good. He was like, he's going really viral. I was like, let me tell you something about Big T. Big T does not read his Twitter notifications. Yeah, I had several people text me similar sentiments and I was like, yeah, I'm fine. I don't, you know. Yeah. And I don't pay attention to it. I was talking about it and I was telling him that I think what people didn't like about or the reason that clip went viral was because they thought it was because he was struggling to give a re... People were connecting a lot of dots. Was the criticism that I was not enumerating my policies with my problems with Democrats enough because we could, I'll make a list and we could just sit here all day. I think there's some of it. I think you not saying like, I am a Republican because of X, Y, Z. Well, we had a, I was not trying to be combative with a guest. Y'all have me play in one on five. So I was just kind of trying to move along. PFT had you. I did have your back. I tried to say it's because Democrats are annoying. Well, that's actually, that may have been what spurred it because what you said was inaccurate and then I felt the need to correct that. You don't think that Democrats are annoying? I do, but that's not my chief gripe. Okay. But yeah, if that's what people thought, whatever. Yeah, I was trying to help you out by saying that Democrats are annoying because I do think that that has something to do with it. I think if Democrats were like 50% less annoying, like here's what I'll say. Depends what you mean. Here's what I'll say. I was surprised. Are you an evangelical Christian? I didn't know that. I mean, that just means, you know, Protestant, not non-Catholic. But they have very, some would say extremist beliefs. I think that is you, your association with that term. That doesn't mean that. No, evangelos, the Greek word means good news. You are an evangelist is someone who spreads the good news. That is what an evangelical Christian means. So how do you different? What difference differentiates the sex of Christians? What's the difference between the evangelical Christian and I mean, you could say like a, you could say you're a Baptist. That's a specific denomination. But like, I'm saying what sets your subset belief? Like when you identify as an evangelical Christian, what is the difference between a Baptist or Protestant or a Catholic or whatever? Well, Baptist is a part of Protestantism is everything that's not Catholic. There are many different sex below that. And then there's you're telling me what they are. I'm saying what? No, that I believe because of that generally when you say an evangelical Christian, that just means a Protestant who is outward about their faith, who wants other people to come to Jesus. Any, you can associate political ideology with that if you want to, but I don't extra what extremist beliefs do you associate with that? I honestly think all religious beliefs are extreme, but I think evangelicals specifically tie a literal sense in the Bible. Evangelicals believe that the earth is 6,000 years old. Evangelicals believe in stuff like that. Like the literal, huh? I mean, we could get into that if you want to, but yes, I believe in the Bible. So you believe the earth is 6,000 years old? I believe it was created within built age. Like when God created Adam, he did not create a baby, correct? He was a man who was created with age. I believe the same could be said of the earth, but that's a that's a whole nother discussion. I've actually never heard that before. I haven't either. It's interesting. So you believe you believed in, I say, so when God made Adam, he was created with age. Correct. He was not an infant. And so you believe the earth was created with age. Can you expound on that? When the earth was created, the the oceans were already formed and the the lands were formed and you would, if you look at fossils, it would indicate that it's much older than that. But it was that's because it was created, not at zero. Right. So do you believe the like, like what I would say the scientific consensus is as a rough estimate of what the age of the earth is? Yeah, I think when you look at stuff like that, that is the that's what it would lead you to believe. Yes. Oh, yeah. I would say I wouldn't categorize that as evangelical. Like they look at right, right. But you're you're you're you're miss. You are applying. No, I'm trying to gain understanding. I'm not applying anything. This is my understanding of what evangelicals believe through my experience of them. I don't know every evangelical Christian, clearly. And so when I extrapolate the information that they give me, this is usually what they say. And this is the first time I've heard them like an evangelical Christian say, no, the age of the earth is around 4.5. Again, if you like what I say, evangelical Christianity is a worldwide interdenominational Protestant movement emphasizing the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. That's all it means. You believe in the authority of the Bible? That's it. Now, I'm sure there are a lot of people who categorize themselves as evangelicals. Evangelical Christians that you don't like, but it's not a, you know, no, I don't. If if you're a Christian and you I don't like somebody because they're Christian. That's that was no. No, I'm saying not causation, but correlation. OK. Yeah, no, I took the viral clip as people was was was that as you said, you're even evangelical Christian, but saying the Democrat Party can't win you over because of what they stand for. And yet you get the the the antithesis of that would be the Republican Party, which right now would be the antithesis of an evangelical belief system. I think that's why there's plenty of things in the Republican Party I don't like either. I don't know. Like I said, I haven't seen any of it. So if anyone was offended by that, I'm not sorry. But yeah, I mean, if somebody asked me what I would what would have to be done to make me vote Republican, like on the spot, probably not the not the easiest question to answer. But if I were to talk to or I'd probably say like there's the I think I even said it when Trump was running last time like universal health care, Medicare for all, if you adopted that policy, I liked the I mean, give him another year, he might do it. I like the isolationism or not complete isolationism, but I like the America first message in terms of taking care of people at home, spending that money on our own citizens and people who are here in this country as opposed to going on these expeditions and foreign policy and spending a lot of money overseas and creating a lot more problems for us in the future. But the thing is, like I didn't believe that he actually meant that when he said that he was going to be all about like spending money here in America, like the infrastructure, like we need infrastructure week, never really believed that he was going to be investing money here at home. But if that was like more along the platform of what a Republican was was vying for, I would be more inclined to hear them out. There's like certain things I think like I do not consider myself to like worship any one political party. I think like Arian, I find myself more looking at like direct policies that they have. And to be honest, like I don't really I think that we need to go back to our leaders being just like super nerds, like just dudes that that are like have the least amount of charisma possible, but at least their hearts are in the right place. I think that would be I think we should ban political merch. It creates this fandom around politicians that need not be like, like if you are going to argue in my opinion, if you're going to argue people about politics, argue about policies, like argue about substance use. I don't want to hear shit about like how many people they slept with a stupid shit like no gives a fucking cares. What am I going to do my Lincoln Chaffee flags then? I've got so many of those things. The what? My Lincoln Chaffee flags that I bought back in 2015, 2016. He was the governor of Rhode Island that was running for president. Like I was like, oh, the fuck is that? Yeah, Lincoln Chaffee. He's my goat. People for he's been that that campaign has been lost to the sands of time. I think we need to go back and take a look at it because Lincoln Chaffee he was pulling out like 5%. Just a strange fella and he was touting himself as being the only guy that that's running for president that has no scandals. And he was almost daring the press to try to find a scandal during his time in office. And sure enough, because he he taunted the media so much, they went back at his record and they found that he actually paid for frogs for his office terrarium using taxpayer money inappropriately. And so he got brought down by a massive frog purchasing scandal. So RIP to Lincoln Chaffee. Nobody remembers him, but I do. He had a SNL did a skit of one of the democratic debates that he was featured prominently in. Yep. I forget that actor. I know I think he's I think he's still alive. I'm just saying all right. RIP RIP does campaign like no one talks about his campaign anymore. I believe he's still alive. Is he still with us? Yes, 73. Let's go. 73 just had a birthday. Yeah. When March 26th. All right. Good for him. Hey, Mac reducing listeners. We're going to take a quick break for a word from one of our partners.

You're not alone in this. Visit medexpress.co.uk slash podcast to learn more. All right. Now back to the episode. You guys look at social media at all this morning. Yeah. You're going to have to be more specific. Let me scroll. Well, it's gone now. It's gone. Oh yeah. It's gone. Our president has deleted a post on x.com, the everything app on truth social. There was a interesting image. Maybe maybe AI generated, maybe an oil painting. I'm not sure which one of Trump depicted as Jesus laying his hands upon a sick individual. There are similar paintings at seed to table in Naples, Florida. So it could be a painting. Yeah, it could be. It could be. Yeah. So all right. Here's I'm going to take President Trump's side. You ready for this? I am. Like it's this is how you know I'm a real one, Mr. Trump. All your friends are banning you. They're saying all the worst things just because it feels like it's trendy to do so. This the picture of Trump putting his hands on a sick individual as a Christ figure wearing the robes. It's indistinguishable from so much fan art that I've seen already of Trump. And I don't think that he he didn't have this commissioned. I think somebody else posted and he's like, great, I'll put this up. He put up a picture of him as the Pope last year. Like why? Why is this over the line? Why? The Woke Right have a problem with Trump doing this. This seems like I've seen this picture thousands of times on Facebook. So the Woke Right is who has a problem? I don't know. That's just a phrase that I've heard it, but I'm just trying to have no idea what it means if the if the Woke Right would I guess so. I guess if the implication is that you're complaining about everything and making a big deal of stuff that would be. So I don't know. But oh, we hated it. We have an explanation. Katelyn Collins is on the scene. Yeah, we have an explanation. They asked Trump about it. He says he told the the pool reporters that he thought he was depicted as a doctor in the image that he shared. Ah, oh, yeah. It was just his way of saying. Kind of health care is coming. Yep. Kind of maybe sexist on a lot of people's parts that they didn't think that a male could be a doctor in this picture. The dad was the doctor blows people's minds. The classic riddle. So problem solved on that one. I don't know why I deleted it. I've seen this so many like so many people's uncles have posted pretty much this exact same image online before. I think it's different when he's the one doing it. So he he posts himself as the Pope last year. That's true. I think people were mad about that last year. What what like shocks me is that people are surprised. Yeah, like it's like, OK, he's got a lot of fair weather friends out there that are that are all over his ass for this picture. And frankly, I think that like if if this is what changed your mind about Trump, then there's something else that's making them flip on him right now. And it's not this picture. What's the real this? I don't know. Maybe maybe the just word on the street is like, hey, we're all turning on Trump now. I mean, Riley Gaines is even upset with him. Yeah, you cannot lose gains. You can't lose Alex Jones and Riley Gaines within a week of each other. You can't you can't lose gains. That's actually an oxymoron. So true. Can't lose gains. In the background of this picture, I should know in PFT's playing corner that appears to be the YF twenty three, the experimental aircraft that was designed and lost out on the open big competition for the next generation, fifth generation aircraft that eventually was awarded to the F twenty two Raptor. And or maybe it was the F thirty five lightning. But you see the the triangular wings that's distinct to the YF. Prototype that never actually entered production. Just something to I guess it's up in heaven because it it doesn't exist anymore. But it was a very good plane. So yeah, I don't know why this is why this is a bridge too far for people. I don't I don't get it. But like people say it's a bridge too far and then they're back to normal in two days. It's not like we shouldn't. We shouldn't give a shit about like what kind of like if it's a slightly offensive image that the president put like there's so much other stuff that we can talk about. It is ridiculous. I mean, don't get me wrong. It's ridiculous. You lost me. Wait, so you're so this is. I'm OK. I'm probably I'm probably wrong about that. I guess I'm saying this particular image. I don't see what distinguishes distinguishes this from a number of things that this one shows. This one holds a bear to Christians who support it. No, that's why I say anybody anybody who's not a Christian that has seen this man operate the last eight, ten years can clearly see he don't read the Bible. There's nothing about him that's Christian. He actually holds a lot of antithetical Christian views. And he does nothing about him screams the words of Jesus. This one is specifically abhorrent in their eyes because it's him. It's blasphemy. It's him depicting himself as Jesus. Yeah, which is blasphemy, which is their number work. I think God's number one sin. And so it's finally getting them to see, yo, this dude's an asshole. The asshole, bro. We've been seated. If you're not a Christian, you've been seated. But I think Christian Trump supporters, I don't say all Christian, but Christian Trump supporters. I think this one kind of woke some of them up like, why would he do this? Well, because he's an asshole. That's why I don't think most Christians on the right like associate Trump with being a Christian. I mean, he said to Corinthians like he's not, you know, but I mean, it makes sense that you would see this and say, what's the difference from this and anything else? And then if you're a Christian and you see that, you would be more offended than if he posts any whatever else he does. I get that. Yeah, it's not offend. Just because it's not offensive to me doesn't mean that it wouldn't be so. This is this is interesting in that. You and I think there are a lot of people like you who are like, what's the big deal? He posts stuff like this all the time, but then people on the right are very upset about. Yeah, it is interesting. I think it's like Ariane said last week, he does so much and says so much that we're like desensitized to it now that it's like, oh, this means nothing to me because of everything else sort of thing. Yeah, that's how I feel. Yeah, I think this is a perfectly this image that he posted falls in line with my preconceived notion of Trump like 100 percent. Like, I don't see anything out of the ordinary with this picture. And that's why I say like, does it bother me? No, she don't bother me, right? None of this shit he put bothered. Like, I'm going to sleep over it. Do I think it's problematic for our society? Yeah, of course, but there's just nothing I can do about it. So there's no reason wasting any time about it. But it's like it's you can see the like the juxtaposition between the buddy that you sent in the in the sheet today. Big T, what's his name? So well, so well. Oh, Eric Swalwell. Yeah, so he has allegations against him. And rightfully so, we're like, check that shit. And you should probably resign, right? Trump has been convicted, civilly, liable for sexual assault. And nobody bad tonight. That's fake news. It's because how he has branded himself. And it's like nothing he says matters and nothing will stick unless he wants it to stick. And that's just that's just where we're at. And that's why it's comical. But. You know, the show goes. I got a question about the Swalwell thing, because yeah, he's been accused by multiple women of sexual harassment, sexual assault, even, right? Yeah, some really, really terrible accusations where, like, if any of them are remotely true, then yeah, this guy needs to be out of the government immediately, probably investigated by law enforcement. It is it's it's strange how, like, there was this build up to all the accusations coming out where people were like bubbling up about some of the accusations like a week ago. I'm not saying that they're false. I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying that it feels like there it's been like packaged and like one person or like one group of people was like collecting all this evidence. I would have loved to see this evidence come out. Like, I want to know if a guy like this who's currently serving in Congress is up to this type of bullshit before they start to like run for governor. Right. Like, who did he piss off? By running for governor to the point where it's like, OK, now all your secrets are going to be dropped. I think it's probably a little deeper than that. Honestly, like so, knowing women who are victims of essay in multiple different forms, a lot of times they don't speak out for various reasons. There's nothing saying that new here, but they don't speak out for various different reasons that are sacred to them. They could be afraid. They could not. They want to bury it. They want to get over it. And I think when you're abuser is a public figure, it probably I don't want to speak for them. But I assume it like eats at you more and more and more. And wherever he's at in his career, if he gets more, know the ride, if he's running for something, sometimes that could trigger that, you know what, this I can't be silent anymore. That could that could be it. You know, there could be a multiplicity of different reasons. But and again, he's, you know, not been convicted of anything yet. So we don't know if the accusations are true. But obviously, like if you if that kind of shit is swirling, there's probably best for you to step down anyway. Like, how is that good? Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I so he's he's dropped out of running for California governor. But like the his campaign for governor, it is it coincides with the accusations coming out. That's why I'm saying like I'm wondering who put all this stuff together as he decided to run for governor. So there's like a coalition of I'm saying that it might even be somebody that's on the Democrat side that that knew all this stuff. Like people knew. Well, juicy with was like was it was a dirty dude before. And if you're a Democrat, you're more likely to have the same type of sources and understand like this guy's got skeletons in his closet. But I'm not going to say anything because he's on our team. But then when he runs for governor for some reason, he's running against somebody that I support. So now we can like let the world know about all the shit that I already knew. Well, reporters said that publicly. Who said that? A bunch of reporters were like, yeah, we've heard about this for many years. One woman, Bethany Allen EBR is her Twitter. At head of China investigations at ASPI cyber tech and I don't know what that means. But she said, I did not play it down. I very much wanted to report it myself. But me two stories on the hill aren't related to my beat as much as I personally wish I could report them out. I passed the tip along to colleagues on the hill beat. So she was like, yeah, I knew it. Didn't report it, though. Well, I understand that if that's not your specialty in reporting stuff like that, then you want to give it to somebody who. But if this guy is sexually assaulting women and he's in Congress, that's something people should know about. Yeah. But and she's not even the only one. There were other reporters that were like, yeah, we've been hearing about this on Capitol Hill for years. Yes. Why didn't they why didn't they dig deeper into it? I don't know. Because if you're saying shame on the people that knew and say none when they when they when they found out about it. Yeah. I mean, if you're a reporter and you've been hearing about this, you should report that. If you have it confirmed through sources and whatever. Are you talking about reporters? Are you talking about are you talking about the people in the Democratic party that are that I guess blew the whistle? I don't know. I guess Big T is talking about the reporters. You're saying it's a. I'm talking about you. It's a convenient time. It's a it's an interesting time. Right. Like there's no denying that it's a really interesting time for it to come out because like this guy has been front and center. A lot of stuff in Congress for the last several years. But now that he's running for governor of California and his biggest enemies are other Democrats at the moment that he's running against out there. Now it comes out. And there's a Republican that's threatening to win. And there's a Republican that's threatening to win. I think that that speaks more to the fact that people like on his own team knew about it behind the scenes and didn't say shit until that guy became their enemy too. Or their opposition. Yeah. Which is which is very like disillusioned. I think that's like that's what most Americans have a problem with when it comes to governments. Like we can't really trust anything that either party says because at the end of the day, they're all just looking out for themselves. And there are sense of morality. It varies depending on from circumstance to circumstance and whether or not it affects their team or the opposition. So yeah, I just think it's interesting if even a fraction of what's being accused is true. The guy should be arrested. The guy should be locked up. So I don't know. I haven't like looked too far into the accusations. I just thought that there are a bunch of them and they tend to be pretty detailed and some women like putting their names on it. And it feels like this is like this is probably the end of the road for him politically. Did you see who had a video of him? I saw one video of him in like a hotel room where you like grab the woman's face and made her kiss. Did you see who had that? No. Martin Screlly. Yes. You know what? Yeah, I did see that video by Martin Screlly. Yeah. Is that the Martin Screlly? Yes. Martin. The farmer, brother. Screlly. The who? The farmer, bro, the guy that paid millions of dollars for the Wu Tang album. Oh, he went to prison maybe like 10 years ago because he was jacking up the price of some drug. I forget what it was. He was in what's the name? Martin. S H K R E L I. See what drug it was. His company, like, I guess was the only place you could buy it. And they were. Yeah, he bought the patent for this drug that was a life-saving drug and he increased the cost of it by thousands of percent. And his rationale was like the insurance companies are paying for it anyway. So it doesn't matter that I'm making it more expensive. So he, yeah, he went to prison. He's also the guy that bought the Wu Tang album that was never never marketed or pressed or distributed. He bought it for, I forget how many millions of dollars. And it was just for him. He was also an early guest on Pardon My Take. People forget that. Do you know who else was on that episode? Mr. Portnoy. No. Big T. Yes. No way. You guys made your PMT debut on the same. And that was the, like, fifth or sixth episode of Pardon My Take. Yeah. That's pretty incredible. Yeah. Yeah, you've been around, huh, Big T? Yeah. It's been a long time. Oh, OK. I'm looking at this video of him kissing his girl. He also, Martin Screlly said in the tweet, here's the Yerick Swalwell video. My source says it was taken in his home and the woman is a sex worker. So that's what Martin Screlly said. This guy's partying with Martin Screlly. Well, he said he got it from a source, so I don't think Screlly was there. OK, all right. But what sources does Martin Screlly have? No idea. I guess solid ones, if that's real. See, that's where I would start to be careful. Because Screlly, I don't want to make any judgments on the guy. OK. I would imagine that he deals with a lot of fly by night type people. Sure. But if the only person in the world who had that is him, he has a good source embedded somewhere. Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure. And in that video, it appears to be real. And if so, it's definitely newsworthy. And I'm not saying that that is I'm not saying anything about that piece of content. But I would say that if Screlly is in charge of drumming up all your opposition research, he's probably getting them through some channels that might not be. Above board. I don't disagree with that. That's all I'm saying about it. I'm he had the tip, though. And once again, get Swalwell out, because that guy seems like a giant scumbag. I say everybody at Gangster until they piss off Martin Screlly. How long did he go to jail? I use seven years. Wow. Did he do seven? I don't know if he did seven. I'm just reading like his shit that pops up. He got sent to seven years for securities fraud. Six years and five months. He did the whole thing. He was released early in May 22nd from the Low Security Prison in Allenwood, Pennsylvania. Do you think that going to minimum security prison would be like kind of fun? I think that's the camp that they sent. I think that's where John Kiriakou was. OK. But then he there's a real prison and the the camp and he was supposed to go to the camp and they put him in the real prison. Right. And he never he had to do the whole thing in the real prison. That's right. Yeah. I remember hearing that that interview with him where he like he was in prison with mobsters, yeah, like some really bad dudes. He's like, I'm supposed to be across the street. Yeah. I'm like, sorry, buddy, you're here. Cohen, Michael Cohen may have gone there, I think. I think that going to like the most minimum security prison. It might be kind of nice. For how long? Like call it a month. Just get away. Just get away. It's kind of like the masters. Take away your cell phone. No phones. No phones at all. They got more phones in there than at the masters. Well, yeah, more probably. I was saying on on PMT yesterday, I think I think more places should do what the masters does. I think that people have a desire to put their phones away. I disagree with you and here's why. In order for in order for it to be an enjoyable experience to negate the. The the the loss of not having your phone. It needs to be something as grand and awesome as the masters. If you start letting people get willy nilly with, oh, you can't bring a phone in here. Well, I'm not going to go to your little comedy show if I can. I think that's a Gen X thing. He are you Gen X? Whatever. Shit is on us. No, Z. I'm on the Gen Z. I used to consider myself a millennial, but yes, I'm the first year of Gen Z. Yeah, Gen Z take. I agree with you, Eric. And I think that I think that it would. Like phone breaks are clinically proven to improve mental health, clinically, but I think I think it would be great. I think it would be a good trend to start. Hey, when we go out, no more phones. Like I think that'd be a great idea. I think that's great if you want to do that yourself. I don't want places starting to implement that. Freedom guy. Yeah, do it now. The masters can do it because their experience is top tier and like it is made better, everyone says by not having your phone. But if, if I don't know, a restaurant starts to say that you can't bring your phone in and then you go there and the restaurant's not very good. Well, right. Why do you get to tell me that? Yeah, but then the market bears it out. So if you say, if there's a bar and at this bar, we're not going to do phones. We got like pinball machines. We got, you know, the jukebox. We got a couple of TVs that are on, you know, your classic bar. If there's a bar that's like, yeah, no phones in this place. If that bar sucks and people don't have a good time, then they'll stop going. Yeah, there's a lot of bars that I even like, you know, some of the divious dive bars go in there if they had a no phones policy. Fuck yeah, I would. I would love to go to a place like that. I don't know that I pay more money per beer to go there. Maybe a little bit. What's the thing? The drinks in the food is cheaper over there. Yeah. At the masters. Yeah. To help create that great experience. Yeah, so I would. I think I think there should be more places like that that adopt that same policy and we'll see what happens. I would. It would be tough, though, for like big arena events, though, because if you lose somebody, that's tough. That. Yeah. OK, that's a fair point. Yeah. Yeah. A bigger. That's where I would say why I probably draw the line. But like a little restaurant or bar or something like that. Yeah, we'll meet outside if we get lost. Yeah, exactly. And there's probably a way around that, too, where it's like I I know that people would have to use their phones for some things like to find out like if their friend is going to make it. That sort of thing. You have like a little place outside like a like a smoking lounge. Right. Like cigarettes and phones. You can you can use those in this area. But yeah, but I don't want I don't want the people that are inside without their phones to be able to see the people that are on their phones. Because if you see somebody looking at their phone, then all of a sudden you start to reach down to your pocket. You know, I want to look at my phone, too. What if we go back to the smoking, non-smoking days, but with phones? That could be cool. If you don't want it, this side's for you. If you want it, you're over here. That could be cool. But again, I think that you would see it. I don't want it if I'm if I'm choosing to go somewhere and not look at my phone. I don't want to see other people looking at their phones. Like a yawn. Yeah, it's like a yawn. Yeah, I would prefer that everybody in the environment is on the same page. Yeah, I mean, forever. We I'm sure there were people who didn't want cigarettes in the restaurants. But yeah, we let them do it. You could smoke a cigarette right next to somebody and be like, I'm sitting in the non-smoking section, but I'm getting I'm going to walk home smelling like an ass. That that didn't end until very recent. Yeah, that's pretty. Might have been it might be 2010. There are some bars that you can still go into where you're allowed to smoke. But they're kind of off. But these are I remember in restaurants. Yeah, you'd go into Red Robin. They'd be like, you want smoking or non-smoking? Yep. Yep. I remember. Yeah, there's when I was in college, there were tons of restaurants that still you could sit in, smell like an ashtray. Really, really a strange decision. Yeah. I thought Virginia would never change because tobacco was such a cash crop there. I was like, they'll never get rid of the smoking inside. But they had to. They love their tobacco. They do.

What else we got today? Anything else in the news? Do you know about the Chimp Civil War? I have heard about the Chimp Civil War. Can you can you give me more deets on it? Well, it's a little I was a little disappointed upon looking into it because they made it seem like this just happened. Like the chimps are at war. They've been at war since like 2015. So while still notable, I suppose, it's been a slow burn. So are there like leaders? Are there generals? So apparently these two groups were formerly part of one tribe. And then there was a schism at some point. And now they're at war with each other. They say there were three likely catalysts. The first were the deaths of five adult males and one adult female in 2014, which could have disrupted social networks and weakened social ties across the subgroups. The following year, there was a change in the alpha male, which the study says coincided with the first period of separation between the Western and Central groups. And the third factor was the deaths of 25 chimpanzees, including four adult males and 10 adult females as a result of a respiratory espad epidemic in 2017. So yeah, these are in Uganda. OK, the the Ngo-Go chimpanzee project is who commissioned this study looking into it, I guess. And yeah, there have been 24 killings, including 17 infants. So it seems the babies are getting the brunt of it. That's brutal. Yeah. That's brutal. Is there like are there peace negotiations? I don't think so. I think what, you know, how do you? How do you talk him down? Jane Goodall, she's dead, right? Yeah. She would be the only person. One of the better humans that have ever walked. I would agree. Is anyone taking up that? I feel like that's an empty mantle in society. The the person who's obsessed with apes. Yeah, the chimpanzee peacemaker. Yeah, I don't think you get thrust into that. I think that's a natural progression. It's a calling. Yeah. Yeah. It's a vocation. Yeah. But there's there's only been one ever that we can name. Well, there was also there was the person that was like in charge of Coco. Coco the gorilla. Remember that? No, the gorilla that learned sign language. OK. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Didn't they make a Netflix documentary about that lady who. Owned all the monkeys. Yeah. I forgot her name. But they like attacked someone, I think, too. Yeah, you don't want to keep them in captivity. It's like the whole Coco thing was kind of sad because, yes, the gorilla learned how to do sign language, but also the gorilla would be like. Coco sad. And then you're like, well, shit. That kind of sucks. I really wish that the gorilla wasn't telling us how depressed it was all the time. Whoops. Do you like parrots? That's a great question. I don't like that's a great question. I don't. I do not. I don't I kind of like looking at them like in the wild. But I don't like them as pets. No, I don't like the I saw a video today of a parrot singing monster by Rihanna. Don't like it. I don't like that. Don't want that to be happening. How do they know how to do that? I don't care for that at all. I've been seeing a lot of parrot AI videos of them like getting haircuts and they give the parrot a bob. OK, that's funny. I kind of like that. I don't like. Like pet parrots. Although there was that one. I don't know if it's a. Yeah, I think it's like an African gray parrot, the one that knows like thousands of words. I don't. I like them to know no words. I don't like the words. That's kind of crazy. They'll pick up like a yellow die cast car and be like yellow car. Yeah, I hate that. That's kind of. And I hate their tongue. Yeah, I hate everything about them. I had a parrot for a couple of years when I was younger in my house. His name was Jimmy. He was a Brazilian conure parrot. And that parrot hated everyone. It was such an asshole. It's not what you want. It loved my dad. It loved and respected my dad. But it would like chill on my dad's shoulder sometimes. And then if I was like watching TV on the couch, it would get off my dad's shoulder, walk across the couch to me, bite me and then walk back to my dad and like break the skin and like make me bleed. Yeah, that would have been the parents last day in my house. Yeah. Well, no, because my dad liked him because they had a great relationship. Worth it. So your dad chose the parrot over you. Well, he was just like, listen, Jimmy's a great. I don't know. He might see something in you that I don't see. Like, yeah, why doesn't Jimmy like you? Was he named for Jimmy Buffett? He was. Yes, he was named for Jimmy Buffett. Like that. Oh, that's funny. But no, I'm not. I'm not big into. I'm not big into parrots as pets or parrot speaking or anything. Yeah, just the you talking about the gorilla sign language made me think of parrots. There was a there was a field. I think it was the intramural sports field at the University of Texas that for some reason had massive nests of wild parrots or parakeets that lived up there. I think they're still there. So just in the middle of downtown Austin, Texas, you'll see like these super bright colored parrots flying around everywhere. Hate that. It's kind of nice when they're wild, though, like I don't have a problem with wild parrots. No parrots. I don't do. I don't do a lot of animals. I don't understand the birding culture where like you have a notebook and you write down all the different birds that you see. I like looking at birds. In fact, I just bought I just bought some bird feeders. But I don't. Yeah, it's birds are nice to look at. But I don't I don't understand the people that like take notebooks out. And they're like, I just saw Robin. We got that one down. Like, I don't get it. I think you got to be really bored. You might need to be bored. Yeah. All right. What else we got in the news today? Melania Press Conference. Oh, yeah. So. Frankly, I I find myself becoming more and more suspicious of everyone that hasn't had a press conference saying that they are not friends with Jeffrey Epstein. Like, Aaron, you've been pretty silent on the subject. That's true, man. What did what did Melania say? She said that she contrary to what everyone's talking about, she was never friends with Ghislaine or Jeffrey Epstein. And so she would appreciate if the constant media discussion regarding Melania Trump being great friends with the Epstein family and potentially involved in their trafficking operation. When Trump met her, if she'd appreciate everybody's shut up about that. And I'm sure right after everybody did, right? Well, that's the thing. It's like nobody was talking about it at all. And then she gave a press conference. Now everyone's like, wait, what? There may have been a time to give that press conference, but it was many months ago. I'd say years, maybe. Yeah. Maybe like a year. I I don't get it. I don't I don't understand it at all. Apparently, Donald Trump did not know that she was about to give a press conference about this. It certainly makes you think. Well, hold on. He didn't know that she was going to give a press conference. There's conflicting reports on that. Yeah, he said that he didn't know, right? A thousand percent. He knew it was in the White House. Walk down the hall, dude. It's just it's very interesting that that she gave. That she gave it is the old tweet of my T-shirt saying I'm not involved in human trafficking. But what do you not get from my T-shirt? Yeah, there's a lot of people. There's a lot of people asking questions about my not involved in human trafficking T-shirt asking questions that are already answered by my T-shirt. I am seeing the quote of Trump's response to his truth social post. And we may need to play the clip because I need to hear him say this. With the McDonald's worker. McDonald's. Oh, there is. Yeah, there's a woman wearing a shirt that says DoorDash Grandma. I don't know what that means. It's something about no tax on tips for delivery. Here is Trump's response. Well, it wasn't a picture. It was me. I did first it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do with Red Cross as a Red Cross worker there, which we support. And only the fake news could come up with that one. So I I had I just heard about it and I said, how did they come up with that? It's supposed to be me as a doctor, making people better. And I do make people better and make people a lot better. Oh, man. So problem solved. He does make people better. He says we got to the bottom of that one. Yeah, honorable man. I think the Melania thing is because of the news about Palo Zampoli, who is in the administration, getting his wife deported or not his wife. Sorry, the mother of his child deported. Yes, Garo and how he also had something to do with Melania getting over to the states. And yeah, Palo Zampoli being extremely involved, extremely involved in the Epstein files. And so Palo Zampoli, his the mother of his children was very close friends with Melania for quite some time. And then after she was deported, she basically said, all right, loves her off. Yeah, I got some stuff. I got some dirt on you. And so that might be why Melania did this, because she's getting out ahead of whatever and I believe these baby mama had to say. I believe Amanda Angaro is releasing either a book or some sort of. Tell all. And then a guest of Macrodosing Tim Miller kind of got dragged a little bit on his reaction to the press conference because he was pretty much saying like, how long has Melania been in this country and she still can't speak without like a crazy accent? Oh, former Republican coming out of the month. Yeah, she has. Can I say something about Melania's voice? I don't mean this disrespectfully. It's hilarious. Her voice is so funny. Whenever I like she's it's naturally funny. Like she she could be like a voice actor for a cartoon. I don't know that I could like pick it out of a voice lineup. I don't know that. It's very funny. I like her voice. I know that she be fly, though. She can dress like she could put it down for stylist. What she could dress, though. And how old is she? Don't say it must be. She is going to be 57 years old. She is 55 turning 56 in just a couple of weeks. Happy early birthday, Melania. But yeah, so that is right in Ariane's wheelhouse. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Big dad. See, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what that. What that shoot a drop is going to be, because I was it was just a bizarre, bizarre press conference. And are you turning 40 this year?

Listen, I got a good question for you guys. If you had a low, a logo to represent your brand, like a mascot of some sort, what would that animal or thing be like for me? I'd like to think that it would be like a like a honey badger wearing Rayban wafers. Maybe with like a truck or cap on something like that. I'd love to know what your your mascot would be for your brand. You know what I'm saying? So like with big T, you know, would it be a giant T? I don't know. Shit. Anyways, I'll take it easy. God bless and God bless big T. Take it easy, guys. God bless you as well, Price. A personal animal logo mascot for yourself. I've never really thought about that before. That's a fair question. It doesn't have to be an animal. Oh, yeah, it could just be like like a plant. Could be anything or a logo. Yeah. Um, I'm not. Here's the super easy. It'd be any animal you're fond of with glasses on. Yeah, but I was just trying to think like what's the pit viper sunglasses. Yeah. What's the most appropriate animal for me? Like maybe. Corgi. No, that's too. Is that a dog? It's a dog. What do you mean? You're more of a rough and tumble type guy. You're not a corgi. I appreciate that big T. Yeah. And you're right. You know what? Big T, you're right. I know. Next time you try to call me a limousine liberal, I'm going to remember that. OK. Yeah, like a French bulldog. Bulldog. Something with long hair and glasses. Yeah, what? Something. Any animals out there with a mullet. That's my big question for you. I'm asking chat GPT. Oh, I mean, you're going to be offended, but it gave a great one. OK. You're a ferret. I'm a ferret. Yeah. Why a ferret? I think that's the for your long face and mischievous vibe. I have a long face. No, I don't think I have a long. I think the hair goes with ferret. The hair does go with ferret. Yeah. Miss. OK, I'll take the mischief. It also gave Otter. Maybe a. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah, Otter. Otters are cool. Kind of scruffy, but likable and expressive. There you go. Wait. I think and not isn't an Otter like a mix between a bear and a twink. I think it is. We had a guy that I played rugby with and his nickname was Otter. And I think there was a gay guy on our team that gave him the nickname Otter because it meant something in the community. Yes. Is that what it is? An Otter is I believe it's a smaller bear. But hold on. I don't want to get that wrong. OK. An Otter is a gay subculture term describing men who are lean, slim or athletic build, but also hairy. Yeah. So a smaller bear. OK. I think it goes twink. Otter bear. Got it. Bear is like a big, big guy. Yeah. OK, I'll be in. Yeah, you're kind of an Otter. Maybe an Otter. I might be an Otter. You're an Otter. Yeah, but I might be an Otter. Yeah, they can get a little feisty. Yeah. What about you, Aaron? I mean, you I feel like you probably already had your own logo, didn't you? Yeah, I got one for the rap jump. Boom. Bobby Fino. But I feel like I like the I like the mascot better. I asked my chatbot, do yours too, Big T. I want to see what that comes up with. Mine says, adaptable and unbothered by convention, building AI agents, making cocktails, studying geopolitics, grinding golf, yardage cars, crows are famous for thriving in any environment and making use of whatever's around them. And honestly, crows remember they they hold grudges. They reward people who treat them well. You told me straight up precision over diplomacy, truth over comfort. Don't confabulate. That's crows energy. My guy has me as a crow. Two things I'll get to mine a second. You never did you have like a like under armor? Did they give you like a player logo? No. What is the player logo? Like, you know, like some brand. Yeah, like some players on their cleats. They'll have like a no, no, no. I feel like you were you were good enough to get one of those. Yeah, I don't know. I lobby for it, though. Mine gave me Bassett Hound. I see that a little OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, a Bassett Hound with like pit viper sunglasses. That's like I'm. On most days, I'm chill, but I'm the the opportunity to party is there. Yeah, you know, yeah, you're a good time when you feel like being a good time. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. Mad Dog McKenzie, you guys have any for yourself? The first thing that came to mind, which I'm just stealing another like mask up, but the pills very dope boy. I just think it's so funny. And people call me that online, so why not just play into it? And I was that for Halloween when I was like 10 years old. OK, I mean, it's like I got a little guy. The vibe. Yeah. Everybody loves the show. Yeah, you matches open heart. Exactly. His vibe. Yeah. And you do the lab. Good laugh. The first thing that what is the laugh? I don't know. That's the most important part. You can't say you're the Pillsbury double and not know the laugh. I haven't heard him in a while. It's a yeah, it's very high pitched. I don't think I can do it, but yeah, exuberant and Julius. Yeah, that's my vibe. OK, you could have given me probably five thousand guesses and I would not have gotten that for you. Yeah. But yeah, I like it. All right, Mad Dog. I don't know. I don't know if I have one. I don't. I don't really know what like really suits me like that. I don't know. Come back to me. I really have. I'm kind of stumped on this one. An arrow, just an arrow pointing. One direction. Oh, that is a good one. Arian, that is really good. And it says, I'm with her. I'm with her. My Lib One Direction fan. Yes, I like this. Perfect. It's an arrow pointing that says I'm with her, even though I was not old enough to vote for Hillary Clinton and One Direction. Hell yeah. I like that. That's perfect. All right. Do you want to do the mean voicemail? Yeah, particularly. It's not as it's not like dogging. Oh, tough enough snowflake. I mean, we're going to do it, but I just she asked. Well, you want to say you guys piss me off today. You guys are idiots. You don't know what you're talking about. Augusta does not paint the fucking fairway. It's fucking Bermuda in ryegrass. Overseed on top to grass. That girl like fucking weed, especially in Augusta, Georgia. Plus their budget with all the fucking chemicals they can put on there. You don't think they can have a green by now. How fucking stupid can you be? But to your point, I do. I have heard that the TV cameras just make it look greener. But God, did you guys tell me that? Augusta National Golf Club paints their fucking grass. Are you kidding me? That's some respect. Of all the things from that episode. Respect it. Yeah. That's the thing he was upset about. I wanted on record. I never said that and I agree with him. I did. It was Eric that said it and I said that could be the case and I still don't care. Yeah, it was me. It was me. I'll take the brunt of that guy's ire. Yeah, I said it. I still think that it's true that I don't think they paint like the entire fairways. I don't think that every hole is painted. This weekend there were some spots that weren't looking pristine. So I think that goes against you. That's the first time I saw that. There were some brown or some purple. They're catching on that people know about the paint. Yeah, I agree. It did make me look foolish with those spots. I stand by in the past. I think they've done it. What would you rate the Augusta National Golf Club's performance this past week? Just overall. For the course? I feel like people, a lot of people, no, not like the difficulty, just the entire experience. I think a lot of people were sour on it. Some people were sour. Are you talking about like with the gallery? Everything. With the patrons? Everything. People are like trying to gatekeep the masters. They are trying to gatekeep it a little bit. Well, to be fair, the masters has tried to gatekeep the masters for many decades. Yeah, like people are like, oh, influencer shouldn't be. Shut up. Yeah. You wish you could go. So I look at the belly aching about like the par three contest and the days of the practice rounds. It's like, I don't really care what happens at the masters on Tuesday and Wednesday. But at the tournament, like Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, I like it to be tightened up. Would you wear an egg salad hat? Yeah, I would. Because that hat doesn't exist. Yes, it does. That guy made his own hat. I don't think the egg salad is one of the ones that they sold. I think it is. I think you're incorrect. I think the Pimento one. Yeah, they sell a Pimento one. They have a lot of them. They sell a Crows Nest one. I think they sell an egg salad one. I don't think they sell an egg salad hat. We could ask Brandon. We could. There's an article on this guy. I was telling Big Cat, I would wear a hat that just said domestic beer on it. Because that's one of the things that they. That they, we should actually do that for next year's masters. Just make even weirder hats. Yeah, just sell domestic beer hats. Yes. That would rock. You would wear an egg salad, bright yellow egg salad hat completely unironically. I don't know. I'm not a big egg salad guy. But you would do it for. Yeah. I might. I would wear an ice cream sandwich. Totally. It's in the master's font, but I'm not seeing anyone else with it. So it might have been just him. Also, he had four different colors. Yeah. And if that's the case, if this guy made his own egg salad hat, that's like kind of fun of the other hats that they're selling there. I love that. Good for him. Would you wear a pimento hat? No. Again, I think I would wear a domestic beer hat. Okay. If we're doing a menu item, I'm going domestic beer. I was telling Big Cat that the egg salad hat, I like it. I would love it if the letters for egg salad were upside down and like three times as big. Curve. Yeah. Just make it the most ridiculous hat possible. Okay. But this guy, listen. I will, I will agree with him that the grass at Augusta is special. They know what they're doing. They obviously have the best greenskeepers in the world that's in charge of seeding and watering and all that stuff. I agree. But in the past, there have definitely been some spots that I think have been doctored up this year. I didn't see as much of that actually. I did see some, some realism poking through at Augusta. Maybe that was a Psyop to throw people off. That's what I'm saying. They know people know. I got too close. So there. Yeah. Yeah. What is this about the, you can't talk about the mud balls in the fairway. I saw this going around too. Scottie says something about some mud balls. And I guess like you're not allowed to talk about the mud balls. Do you anything about this? No. Let me look it up because maybe I'm not. I mean, I'm sure Augusta prefers you don't talk about anything negative. Is a mud ball just like exactly what it means? Yeah. Hit a ball in the fairway and it's got mud on it. So the PJ Tour actually didn't know this. The PJ Tour has a lift clean in place rule when there's like wet conditions. I guess the masters had wet conditions, but the masters doesn't use that rule. They, they say play it as a lie. And that constitutes having mud balls and mud balls, Mac. And for people that don't know, it could change the trajectory and the direction of your foot, the flat of your ball. And so these players are the best in the world. They're very precise. Okay. If I want to hit a fade a certain amount five to 10 yards, you know, more often than not, they're hitting the shot that they want to hit. And if there's mud on the ball, it can drastically change where it goes and the distance. And so I guess Augusta has a rule that says you can't, there's no way to get it. You can't, there's no lift, lift clean in place. And, and they have like, I guess a rule that saying you can't talk about it. Cause I guess it, I guess it makes the course conditions look bad, but not really bro. You can't control the earth. Control the earth's conditions. That's a little, that's a little while. Yeah. But you can't talk about it. Nope. All right. Do we have any other voicemails? Okay. Any other topics we want to get into before we call it a day? And then we'll be back on April 16th for you guys. I know that tomorrow as you listen to this April 15th, new commanders uniforms coming out. 10 a.m. Easter. We had some Milwaukee ones come out. I hate them. I like the fans. Oh, the city connect. Yeah. City connect jobs. I ain't really hate them like that, but I was looking into some of the comments on the Graham and he was really feeling them like that. I ain't mind them. I thought they were like, do you see the Braves? I can't look at the Braves search Braves city connect. They're sweet. I didn't love them at first, but once I saw him on the field, they look, I'm a fan of anything and baby boo. Yeah. This year, this year hard to be. It's hard press to find something baby blue that I'm not going like. And this kind of jacking the old not jacking, but playing off the old school Jones like when. Yeah, they wore that color. Hank Aaron like in the eighties they wore that like Dale Murphy, that era. Yeah, yeah, I like I like this. Yeah, this is hard. Yeah, I like the Braves. I thought were really good. I thought the Royals were terrible. Awful, real disgusting. Absolutely garbage. Padres not bad. But San Diego can do anything they want. That's the thing about the Padres. It's like if you live in San Diego, you put whatever you want in your form and I'll be like, oh, yeah, that's kind of cool. Oh, the Royals. It's like, I see what they were going for. No, the gradient doesn't work. No, I don't I'm never found a great when when the Falcons had that shit. I was like, this is worse uniforms than the league history. I hate great gradient is. They also only wore that like two or three games and one of them was when Todd Gurley made the dumbest play in the history of the NFL. Do you remember this? Old statement. No, the Falcons were up one with like a minute something to go in the red zone and there's already I guess Matt Ryan or somebody was mic'd up and in the huddle he goes, okay, Todd, if you get the first down, do not score. I think the the Lions had no timeouts left. He's like, do not score and Todd Gurley waltzes into the end zone and then the Lions went down. I believe it went over time and then the Lions won. Oh, I do remember that now. And he got to the one and tried to stop himself and he just kind of like fell into the end zone. I remember that game. I mean, yep, you condition your whole life to score. It's hard to turn it off sometimes. I give him great. Did you ever find yourself in that situation area at the end of the game? No, we never that never happened to me. No, never happened to me. Would you have those conversations though where it's like, hey, we don't want to score here? Yeah, yeah, I mean, it's the professionals. They know every every situation every Ned's all practice all talked about. But we just never had that that situation. But yeah, we got I was shocked. I was shocked to remember that the draft is coming up in just what a week and a half. The military draft. Maybe that too. Yeah, maybe that too. But Aaron, I don't know that I've ever asked you what you did. I'm a go I'm going drafted in that one too. I don't know that I've ever asked you what you did on draft weekend. Like if you if you sat around thinking that you might get selected. No, yeah, I did because they said they had me going from second to fourth. And so I thought I was going to get drafted knew the first day was probably out of the possibility. But for sure, I thought I was going to go second day. I third round was I was going to step to third round. We had a whole bunch of the family in Arizona where I was training at the time. And so all my family came out to Arizona and we were going to have a good little good little get together. We didn't do anything the first day because we probably knew it wasn't going to be the first day. And so the second they came and just got real dreary and shit. And so my my stepdad took all the kids to I think there's a baseball game going on at the time. And he took them all because it was getting like sad. And yeah, and it's a day went on and it was just like is what it is. My dad came to me said, well, son, as I was the Canadian League, I said, what you don't get the fuck out of my face. He's trying to be supportive. You might have been a top five pick in the CFL. Oh, I killed it out there. Yeah, I killed it out there. The fields are longer too. You would have more yards. More than likely. Yeah, more than likely. Yeah, no, but everything worked out man. It was only two days then, right? Yeah, so at least at least you didn't have a third day because then that was to come back again. And I forgot to tell him there. So I'm planning another turn. I got invited again to the next pro tournament, which is at PGA National Florida next week. And so prepping for that. And one of the dudes that did really good was was Ryan Suckup. I think it's Ryan Suckup. Ryan Suckup was a kicker. And if I'm not correct, let me, he was Mr. Relevant, I think he was the last. Yes, he was Mr. Relevant the year I went on drafted. So forever I remembered his name because he was drafted. He was the last pick of the draft. And he was like my last, he was the last thing I heard when it was like, all right, you're not getting drafted. A kicker too. That's, that's brutal. And he's playing, he's playing in that, in that tournament. Solid kicker. Probably. Yeah, I don't really follow. Yeah, you hate kicker. You must hate him. No, it's never personal. I hope they get all max contracts and do, I just for the sport. Point. Did you, did you have multiple offers for under drafted free agent signings? Yeah, it was like a bidding war. It was between the Saints. That's when Sean Payton was there. He wanted to be really bad. And I say really bad as much as you can. I drafted a free agent. But I think, I think what happened was they, they knew, you know, this is a steal. It was just, I had some funny stuff going on behind, but it was between the Saints, Texans, and I think the Jets all wanted me. And so I remember I originally said I was going to the Saints and then Houston offered me a little bit more money. And then I was like, well, let's just look at the roster. So we pulled up the rosters. And I think the same time Reggie Bush, Deuce McAllister. No, no, no. And I think they had one more. They, they roster was stacked and I know they like to rotate their backs a lot. Houston had Steve Slayton, Chris Brown, Ryan Mote, which I thought I was better than all of them. And, and I knew the system that Houston ran. It was less of a rotational running back by committee thing. And it was more like, if you can get the spot, you got the spot. And so I was like, I'm going to take my chances over here. And it's Sean Payton called back and mad. I was like, you should have dropped him in. What are you mad for? The 2009 Saints had Reggie Bush, Mike Bell and Pierre Thomas. Pierre Thomas. Pierre Thomas. That's what it was. Yeah. Pierre Thomas. That's what it was. He led the team 800 yards. So, so you had like a verbal agreement with Sean Payton and then he got upset because you got a better offer. Yeah. The offer wasn't as like, they offered like 5000 and the Texans offered like 7500 or something like that. But it was, it was like a, you go back and forth and at the time coming out of college, I ain't never seen five grand before. I ain't never seen 7500. You know what I'm saying? So I was like, that sway me with that. I was like, okay, let's, let's not get caught up in the little money thing. Let's get caught up in what option would be best for me. And clearly Houston was the better option for me. Yeah. And no stating. I'm taxed either. I see. I didn't even take that into consideration at the time. All right. Well, anything else you want to get into today guys? All right. We'll see you guys on Thursday on MacRodosing and love you guys. Love you too, man. Goodbye. Bye.
