PFT Commenter and guests discuss Masters Week preparations, including the new Masters candy bar and discontinued gnome collectibles, alongside broader cultural commentary on Jake Paul's blackface controversy, a SEAL Team 6 rescue operation in Iran, and various sports topics including the 2026 World Cup and Vegas NBA expansion team naming.
Insights
- Masters collectibles have created an unintended secondary market problem, forcing Augusta National to implement purchase restrictions similar to China's one-child policy to maintain the event's prestige and prevent commodification
- High-profile athletes like LeBron James may be strategically amplifying criticism of certain NBA markets (Memphis) to influence franchise relocation discussions ahead of potential ownership opportunities
- The resale market for limited-edition sports merchandise can reach 100x markup (Masters gnomes at $10,000), indicating untapped monetization opportunities for sports organizations willing to embrace scarcity
- Cultural sensitivity around national identity is stronger than assumed—Colombians actively discourage discussion of Pablo Escobar, suggesting brands should research local sentiment before international campaigns
- Military rescue operations demonstrate willingness to absorb massive financial costs ($70-100M per aircraft) to retrieve single personnel, reflecting institutional values but raising strategic questions

Hey Mac Redocing listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcast, Spotify or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Hey guys, it's Rianne Fran. If you're looking for a cola that delivers, Pepsi Prebiotic Cola is it because nothing beats that great Pepsi taste. It's delicious, it has 3 grams of prebiotic fiber, 5 grams of sugar, just 30 calories and no artificial sweeteners. It honestly tastes like Pepsi with so much more to love. You tried it, loved it. Pepsi Prebiotic Cola. You should pick some up if you haven't already. It's the perfect drink when you are ready to just relax, sit on the couch, watch a movie and enjoy a delicious Pepsi Prebiotic Cola. Would you use dish soap to wash your car? Sure, we'd get the dirt off, but you'd be stripping the paint and protection every single time. And that's exactly what harsh personal care ingredients do to your skin. The stuff you put on your body isn't just sitting on the surface, it's being absorbed. Everman Jack makes naturally-derived body wash, deodorant and beer care that's actually built for men. Even up-based body wash hydrates instead of stripping, their new 48-hour deodorant fights odor without the harsh chemicals, and they're the number one beer care brand in America. Everman Jack, clean, effective, made for men. He was on Theo Vaughn's podcast. They were talking about the Drusky skit. Oh, I did hear that. Throwing a lot of names at me. I did hear this part. Yeah. You're familiar with the Drusky... I saw it, yes. ...Erica Kirk skit. Yeah, they were breaking that down. They were saying... So, Jake Paul was with Theo Vaughn talking about Drusky... Yeah. ...doing an Erika Kirk. Yes. We're getting levels into this. I'm following. Welcome back to Nano Dosing. It's Tuesday. It's April 7th, and we got myself big tea. Uncle Chaps is here in the studio. Mad Dog McKenzie Arian is out for the last time for the foreseeable future. He's going to be back on Wednesday, had a pre-standing appointment that he had to make today, so he'll be back Wednesday. But we got Uncle Chaps, who's going to fill in and do a great job. And today's episode is brought to you by Shady Rays. Quick question. How are these Shady Rays basically the same quality as the $200 sunglasses that I used to buy? I don't get it. I'm not exaggerating. These are good sunglasses. They're just as good as the expensive brands. And they have the best warranty in the business. The lost or broken protection that Shady Rays offers. Second to none. Big tea. They look great on them. Oh, these are new ones. You like those? Yeah, those are the ones you've had in here. It's like an orange tint to it. I might steal these. That's the color rush model that you've got on right there. Yeah, I love those. And I love with Shady Rays. If you drop them, if you lose them in a lake, if you sit on them, if they get left behind on an airplane, they will get you a new one. And they got the polarized lenses. I don't know about you guys, but I lose probably, I don't know, eight pairs of sunglasses a year. That's a lot. Well, I wear sunglasses a lot. I do too, but eight. I mean, one, okay. Two, you're losing sunglasses fairly often. Three. I mean, three would, I think you're in trouble. I almost feel like if I had one pair of sunglasses, I would never lose it. I have a lot of different pairs of sunglasses. I'm more careless with them. So Shady Rays needs to give you fewer free sunglasses. Exactly. That's what I'm begging. Shady Rays. I'll take these then. Shady Rays just send me two more free pairs of sunglasses and that's all that I'll have for the summer. We'll see if I can keep them. I have prescription ones coming for them. Do you? They fix the lenses up for you. They're good people over at Shady Rays. The polarized lenses, they cut the glare, clear optics, durable frame, solid hinges. They got clean classic styles. They look sharp, but they don't try too hard. So if you're outside, if you're in the water, on the water, in the sun, if you're driving around every day, you need shades that perform.

Handsome guy. Shout out him. Shout out him. He looks great, but nobody would ever know because he hides behind great looking sunglasses all the time. ShadyRays.com, promo code Macro, 40% off two or more pairs of the polarized sunglasses. All right, we're back. It's good to see you guys again. I missed you guys. How are you feeling Big T? All right, how are you? Are you wellmed? Yeah. Yeah, I'm pretty wellmed. Chaps, how are you doing? I'm very wellmed. Okay, we're all wellmed. Well, very wellmed would be potentially over wellmed. No, I'm the most wellmed you can be. You're well-maxing. Yeah, I'm well-maxing. I love that. Matt Dog McKenzie, how are you guys doing? Good. Good. I don't, I would say wellmed. Good. I'm in a positive way. What does your hat say? Le du. What does that mean? It's a brand that my friend started that I paid for the hat. Le du. Le du. What does it mean? It just means like du. Like du. I like that. Le du. Le du. French. Got it. Okay, so like if a sassy Pepe Le Pew. Yes. Le du. All right, I like it. Yeah, thanks guys. I'm on board the Le du movement. Thank you. Clip that. Yep. Happy Power Plant and Bridge Day to all who celebrate. It's Tuesday. Thank God. So today is, I thought Power Plant and Bridge Day was going to be last week, but it got moved. It's this week. We'll see. I have my doubts about whether or not it's going to be actually Power Plant and Bridge Day. I hope it's not. Can you explain, so I was waiting for church to start and I was on my phone and I saw that tweet come across. It seems to be like three separate ideas mashed into one. Okay, so there's the Power Plant and Bridge Day and he just said in his press conference this afternoon, the entire country could be taken out in one night and that night might be tomorrow night. Okay, so that's one thing. Then open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. That seems to be the second part. Then he goes to Allah. Yeah. Explain that one to me. Just watch Praise Be, I'll read the entire tweet. I think it's, this is bad storytelling to say the least in this tweet. Tuesday will be Power Plant Day and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one in Iran. There'll be nothing like it. Open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch. Praise be to Allah, President Donald J. Trump. If you're doing a screenplay in three acts, there's a formula to it where there's like the inciting incident and then the rising action that builds up to a climax and then gets wrapped up at the end. This just kind of keeps going up. I'm more confused after having read this. My theory is that he does not know what to do and so he's just getting angrier. Then nothing's going to happen. He'll say that he won a negotiation and then he'll just withdraw and claim victory. That's what I think will happen. I still don't understand the Praise Be to Allah part. I think that was sarcastic. I think he was doing a sarcasm. He was doing a racism. Yeah, he was doing a mild racism. Mild racism. Yeah, it was just, that was a hell of a tweet. Yeah, on Easter. On Easter, I was sitting in church on Easter morning waiting for it to start and I saw that come across my desk. I did watch Alex Jones reaction to this tweet. He was disappointed. He is very disappointed. When you've lost Alex Jones, when you've gone too far for the Info War. Now was he like an OG Trump or was he at the beginning kind of like this is a Psyop? No, no, Alex Jones was absolutely batshit insane for decades and then Trump for some reason kind of like piqued his interest and then Trump went on Info Wars back in 2015 or 2016 and kind of branded himself as the outsider candidate that will be fighting against the elites over in Europe and the globalists. They're trying to do a one world government and. So he was on board with Trump before he won the nomination. Yes, yes. Okay. Alex Jones has become more mainstream since joining the Trump train back in 2016 and he's doing less of the crazy shit that he used to do. Like the really insane conspiracy stuff that he used to talk about. Now he's just become like your average run of the mill Trump supporter. That huge lawsuit that he lost probably weighed in on that something. That probably did weigh in quite a bit. Yeah, but now Alex Jones is like this was his bad language to use on Easter, Mr. President. So a little decorum. Alex Jones. Any other time. Fine. Yeah, just can't do it on Easter. Not on Easter. I don't know what's going to happen. It sounds like he's kind of like Trump's kind of cornered. He did not really think this through that well and he just kind of hoped that it would be a side project that he would do. And he's finding that the side project is not just one that you can walk away from. And so now he's kind of flailing. And I hope I hope what he does is he just gets out of there and claims victory. That would be I think ideal for for everybody involved. Yeah, where he just lies and he's like, Yeah, I talked to them. They gave me everything that I wanted. Great victory for the United States. I think that would be probably the it would cost the least amount of life if he did it that way. So that's what I'm hoping for. I think. I think that's what he's going to do. Big T, you sent over a clip of a concert in our pre-show prep sheet. Did you see this? I didn't see until you sent it over. So. Oh, you didn't see? No. No. So Kanye West is back. Big time. So I'm not saying that the numbers would indicate that the numbers would indicate that he is. When did he schedule this concert? Has this been scheduled for a long? I heard about it an hour before it started. I've not heard of Kanye touring. This was Thursday night or maybe Friday. Yeah. At at SoFi Stadium in LA. And he had 80,000 people in there. It looked like he was on like a globe type deal. It was insane. It was actually crazy looking. Yeah. So it looks like he's going to be playing in India, Turkey, Netherlands, France. It'll be real comfortable. There's a lot of the imagery in India though. Oh, yeah. The Hindu symbols will make him feel right at home. Yeah. He's like, this is this is what it's all about. I got trouble in America for these same exact symbols. Yeah. Turns out I was just believing in peace. Yeah. So I guess he's back on tour and I guess he's like fully back because this concert clip that I saw of all the lights did look insane. The on top of the world. Yeah. That shit looked crazy. Like the man knows how to put on a show for this day. He knows a good visual minus the house decoration. Right. Where it's like all white. And what I don't understand with Kanye is like, as he he was going through some really, really bad mental episodes when he was planning this tour, but he was still able to like describe the wild shit he was seeing in his mind's eye and then have it made and like follow up on the production teams to see samples of things. We're like, yeah, I think there's going to be a good piece to put in the giant globe that's going to come out on stage. And then if I could ascend up into a big white light, like he's actually making detailed planning decisions while he's also going through like a severe psychotic break. He has to have like his own personal jinx. Yeah. Like that. Yeah. And he has a very ex fluent Frank to him. Like he speaks it. He knows exactly even in the midst of like in KS. Yeah. Like even like breaking his glasses moment, like he knows what he's talking about and he can get everything in order. And he has a Mikey Betts on off to the side too. He has to have that same kind of team. That would be a tough job to have to be Kanye's jinx. Now if you didn't know about that, did you know he came out with a new album on Friday also? I did. Yes. Because it got recommended to me on the release radar. So I did what Arian did with the NCAA tournament. I listened to 10 to 15 seconds of pretty much every song. They all sounded remarkably similar to me. I was not overly impressed with any of the clips I heard. But what's the single? I have no idea. It looks like North Carolina is hiring Michael Malone as their new head coach. Not sexy enough. Who? Michael Malone from the from the Nuggets NBA championship head coach. Michael Malone. That I feel like we can do better. Are you sure about that? I mean, listen, that sounds harsh. Michael Malone is a great coach. But I don't know that he's going to be a great coach for the University of North Carolina. Okay. Yeah, it is interesting. Yeah, I'm like, he's a great NBA coach. And I feel like the skill set is going to be much, much different. I'm just looking up right now. So he hasn't coached in the college ranks since 2001 when he was an assistant at Manhattan. This to me feel now, I mean, if you can get a guy who's won an NBA championship, like that's great, I guess this feels like a desperate we have to hire someone before the transfer portal opens type deal to me. It sounds to me like they had all their eggs in the dusty May basket. I know, I think it was Tommy Lloyd. Both probably both those guys. He wanted one of them. And I thought Tommy Lloyd was going. So did I. But he got one of them would have been awesome too. Yeah, we'll see. So I was skeptical of Billy Donovan because he's been in the NBA for over a decade now. He like much in the same way. He's had great teams in college, obviously, but hasn't dealt with NIL transfer portal any of that. So even that, I was like, I mean, you're kind of taking a risk there as well. But this is that's an interesting one. I now Tommy Lloyd, did you see the deal he got? Yeah. The sickest gig of all time. He doesn't have a boss anymore. You got a massive raise and he told the AD I'll stay, but I don't report to you anymore. I have no boss, which is awesome. I guess his boss is the president of the University of Arizona. I guess so. I think that's it. But yeah, he does not. He doesn't have like a real boss. Yeah. He's got a boss that will say like if he's fired at some point. So you get to do that, make a ton of money, stay out in Arizona, don't have to go to a fishbowl type. Yeah. But as somebody that went to Arizona recently, you feel like a creep as a middle age person there. Like no matter what, I had to go do one of those high noon meet and greets there. And they sent me and Clemmer. Where was that? It was at one of the major sports bars that were on campus. It was like on campus. Was it Arizona State or University of Arizona? University of Arizona. Okay. So you're down in Tucson. Yeah. So we were in Tucson and I go in there. It's pouring ass rains. Me and Clemmer, which that's who you want to party with when you're in Arizona is me and Clemmer. Hell yeah. And we go in and it's pouring ass rain and everybody in there that's working is like a model essentially level of attractiveness. And then there's us hanging out high noon. It was the most awkward. Maybe I've ever felt in my life. Yeah. It was so wildly uncomfortable. Sam, my producer, he like texted a buddy. He was like, go say hey to Chaps. He's over there. I was like, please don't send anyone over here. I don't want anyone to see me at all. So I think the last time we were in Phoenix or in Scottsdale for like a work thing, was that for a super? No, it wasn't for a Super Bowl. Probably the final four a couple of years ago. Arizona Bowl. It might have been. Yeah. Were we in Scottsdale for that at all? Yeah. I think so. So I remember being at the Barstool Bar and lots of attractive ladies working at the Barstool Bar and they're literally wearing lingerie. Right. And that's how this was. So I don't want my eyes, I'm just keeping my eyes like I'm laser focused on people that are six foot and above. Yeah, I'm just, I'm looking around. I'm like, this is crazy. Like you don't have to be wearing underwear if you don't want to, ma'am. Yeah. Like I thought awkward about it. A Milady in a t-shirt. Yeah. I think you've got a great personality. Yeah. Can we showcase that? You don't have to do this. Yeah. Unless you want to. Yeah. But they really want to. Yeah. I would too. If I was a super hot lady. I'd have my yetis out all the time. Of course. I'd be slinging them things around. Use what you got. Right. Yeah. God doesn't make mistakes. Nope. What else we got going on today? There was a big rescue over the weekend. Big TA did you. SEAL Team 6. Did you read up about it? Yeah. SEAL Team 6 got the WIZO out. The WIZO. The WIZO. The WIZO, Weapon Systems Operator. Nice. With a backseat pilot. Got it. The F-15 is Strike Eagle. So there's a guy up front and his job is to fly the plane for the most part. The guy in the back, he's like monitoring all the sensors and the radar and all that shit. His job is literally monitoring the situation. Yeah. Actively monitoring all situations at all times. That would be me. Yeah. I'd be monitoring the situation. So they got shot down, ejected and put together a pretty crazy raid from what I've gathered to go rescue this guy. And it's interesting because back in the 19, I think it was like the late 70s, early 80s, we tried to set up a massive hostage rescue operation in Iran and we flew a bunch of planes and shit into the desert and they all got eaten up by the desert. And it became a big embarrassing failure for the United States back then. They got planes that got stuck in the dust. There was a massive dust storm that popped up and helped to stop the rescue mission that we had in place. And we tried to run the same thing back this time with down pilot. This time it worked a little bit better, but we still left behind to AC 130s. So what we did was we created a temporary forward operating base, at least for refueling out in the middle of the desert. And then when we couldn't get all our shit out of there, we just blew up the planes and got out. I think we blew up a couple helicopters too and loaded everything else onto a plane and got out with the down pilot. And there might have been help from the locals too, because that's apparently the part of the country that the pilot was downed in is less sympathetic towards the Iranian regime right now. So there were some traffic backups and just traffic jams on all the major roads to get to the area that the pilot was in that some of the locals might have jammed up themselves to create a diversion. So then some B1 bombers came in and dropped cluster bombs. But yeah, pretty crazy story. And this guy climbed 7,000 feet, they said, into a mountain to hide out for 36 hours till they could get to him? That's what it sounds like. Yeah. He increased his, yeah, the vertical height went up 7,000 feet as he was walking along like a ridge. So it's not to say that he climbed up 7,000, but yeah. Not much elevation gained. So if you're a pilot and Chaps, maybe you can tell me about what else you went through in the military. Did you have, was it search? Seer, yeah. Seer training? What does that stand for? Search, evade, resist, and escape. What does that involve, the training? It's kind of like, have you ever seen GI Jane? Yeah. They do a really good job of explaining it. It's just like high luck. So you do initial training, Marines will do initial training where you go to boot camp and then follow on school, like combat training. And they tell you, like Geneva Convention rules, like what would happen if you ever got tortured situation and then certain levels, like the higher and higher you go up, like with specialties, like pilots, they all go to Seer school. Like all the guys that I was with in recon, all Seer school graduates, SEAL Seer school graduates. So once you start becoming like an operator, you're going to have to go through that. But it's pretty intense. Like they do like makeshift torturing. Like that's where you would get like waterboarded, like where you, so you could experience what that actually felt like. It used to be rumors back in the day that you could break one bone. They don't really do that anymore. Like you're allowed to break one? Yeah. People that didn't struck? Yeah, they were allowed to break one bone back in the day. I don't think that's a thing anymore. It could be brought back. Who knows? But yeah, it's very, very, Seer school, depending on, there's multiple layers of Seer school as well, but the like top levels are very, very intense. So what'd you go through in that? The bottom, like the very easy Seer three. They waterboard you? Yeah. I've been waterboarded. Yeah. I was a non-lethal weapons course instructor, so we did a lot of that. But yeah, waterboarded, but not like over and over again, like twice, like where you can feel it and it's terrible. Yeah. You just feel like you're drowning. So it sounds like this was a crazy operation. I'm sure we'll find out more about it later on, but like it was a pretty high, high cost that we paid to rescue this guy. Like each one of those plans, I think is like what, 70 to a hundred million dollars? But I guess that's like, you know, if you got somebody that's You willing to put a price on an American life? No, no, I'm saying like that shows you that like the priority if you have like one guy that's out there, we will move heaven and earth to try to bring that one guy back. Yeah. You could also say like it might be easier to just not have that guy there in the first place. Well, sure. That's not up to him. I probably better to do from the creator of John Wick and nobody comes the new moving normal, a double barreled shotgun blast of pure mayhem for Sheriff Ulysses played by Bob Odenkirk. A new job is 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 piece, a dark secret is exposed and Ulysses discovers that the town is anything but its namesake. Suddenly everyone is trying to shoot the sheriff and he has to rely on his wits and some crooks if he has survived the night. And that's all before the Yakuza show up. Starring Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Heady. See it only in theaters starting April 17th. Big T, I want to talk to you about something. What's up? Have you have you been monitoring the Jake Paul situation? This is the first I've heard his name in several months. So no, have you been monitoring the Jake Paul situation? Japs. He was on Theo Vaughn's podcast. They were talking about the Drusky skit. Throwing a lot of names at me. I didn't hear this part. Yeah. You're familiar with the Drusky. I saw it. Yes. Yeah. They're breaking that down. They were saying. So Jake Paul was with Theo Vaughn talking about Drusky. Yeah. Doing an Erica Kirk. Yes. Okay. We're getting levels into this. I'm following. This country is just so fucking ridiculous. Yeah, I know. Like every single, you've brought up three different stories and they're all insane. Yeah. Everyone. I'm telling. We're spelunking into the cave of the internet right now and I feel like this story is probably four levels deep. Okay. So we're starting to run into like the water table down here. Jake Paul and Theo Vaughn, you'll be interested to know they both agreed that the skit was funny. They thought it was funny. But then they started to wonder like what if a white guy did this and put on blackface and then Jake Paul said he's planning on doing a blackface skit. But they were, they were workshopping the best way to do that skit to have it be funny. And I guess to just have it be funny because then Theo Vaughn was like, you almost have to get a black guy that's in the skit with you to like stamp that and be like, it's cool that Jake Paul approve. But then Jake Paul was like, I almost feel like that's worse because then you're like, you're begging for somebody to say that it's okay and said just doing it yourself. And anyways, it was an illuminating conversation. Ask for forgiveness, not permission. Yeah, between these two trying to figure out what the funniest best way to do blackface would be. Okay. So I just wanted to bring you up to speed on that situation. Yeah, this is, I'm looking at it. This is the first I've seen of this. Yeah. Yeah, that's, that's something, I guess. They did bring up the old Jimmy Kimmel Carl Malone. Right. Which really did not age well at all. People forget. Yeah. Didn't age well at all. And I've, I always talk about like the Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder because I think that's a very funny movie and people are like, Tropic Thunder could not be made today. I disagree. I think that that role that he played in Tropic Thunder was like a very funny, subversive way of doing it where he was playing, the joke was on the actor in that movie that Robert Downey Jr. is playing. So I still think that you can make it. I think he said that he would do a sequel to it. Yeah, I think like you, here's the thing about Blackface, okay? Blackface. I love where this is going. I don't know. Yeah, it was started to make fun of Black people like in the minstrel shows. Yeah. It was like getting dressed up and making fun of Black people, which is why it's not a good idea for white people to do it because of its roots as just like 100% pointing and laughing at Black people who at the time were treated as second, third class citizens, if citizens at all. So it's not just about like putting the makeup on and that's the entire joke. There's a history behind it. And when Robert Downey Jr. did it, it was like, we're laughing at Robert Downey Jr. playing a ridiculous actor that has sniffed enough of his own farts to go out of his way to say like, I will wear Blackface and I will make it artistic. I still think that movie could be made. Yeah. I mean, shit. We'll see because the polls are going to do it. We'll see. I'm excited to see. Do you think that ever comes out? I mean, Jake Paul seemed pretty determined. I mean, he kind of, this is an indictment upon society. I mean, he does have enough money that he can do whatever he wants. He's like, yeah. If he gets canceled, whatever that means. He's got a compound. Yeah. I mean, he he lives enough money that he never has to work another day in his life. Yeah. He could put the skit out and then everyone could hate it and he'd be like, all right, I'm going to go ride ATVs and then just ride ATVs for the next month. Like how much money do you think has more money? Aryan or Jake Paul? Jake Paul. Jake Paul. Jake Paul. I think so too. Maybe just from the Tyson fight alone. Let's see. These are never right. But yeah, that's a lot. How much is it saying? This is between 80 and 200. I think it's closer to the higher end. I think it would be too. Yeah. Yeah. I would say way higher than that. I mean, just like his YouTube channel alone, like he gets a shit ton of money from that. Yeah. Like all of his fight cities done combined. Right. And if he wants, he can just hit the hit the lever, the money lever if he wants and do another fight and then people pay for it. He did find the unlimited cash glitch. I mean, even after the last fight, he just stepped in and people were like, that's so inspiring how he got his ass kicked like that. Like shout out to him so he can get back in the ring at any point. Did he make like a hundred million just from the Anthony Joshua fight? It might have been. I'm sorry, what? I think he made like a hundred million from that fight alone. Yeah, that fight was like he made like Tyson Fury, Anthony, like they got paid like the heavyweights would like in those insane fights like Mayweather makes. Yeah. Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul each earned about $93 million after their fight. Yeah. So I would say definitely not airing. Yeah. Well, yeah, then that that's got airing beat. One fight. Mm hmm. 20 minutes to get in your ass. Give it to me all day, daddy. Definitely worth it. I would get my ass absolutely beat in for a hundred million dollars. The one guy I would be a little. I did it for $55,000 a year. In fact, yeah, I would. I would be a little bit afraid still to this day of Mike Tyson. Yeah. I think always. Yeah. I'll be afraid of Mike Tyson punching me in my face. I think Anthony Joshua goes up that list, too. Yeah. That punch that he hit Paul with was brutal. Yeah. Yeah, that was gnarly. Broke his jaw. Who was that? Who was that UFC fighter that got it was a rear naked trope, but oh, and he was against Cosmite that the guy, what is his name? And he got remember he it wasn't like a real real naked trope that was actually like on his jaw. Yeah. Pulled through and snapped like his palate in half. Who is that guy? What the fuck is his name? Um, that was a gnarly gnarly injury, though. I think I would rather get into a fight with like a like a tiger than with Mike Tyson. Like the tiger. Currently. Yeah, just a tiger. The tiger might get bored. Tiger might be like Mike Tyson's what 60. Yeah, but if Mike Tyson's in the ring, he's going to try to punch you. Tiger's going to try to eat you. Not necessarily. Maybe the tiger's not. I'm not hungry. Maybe I just ate. How long are you in the tiger looks at me? It's like you don't look how long you in the ring with the tiger. I I think I would rather do 10 seconds in the ring with a tiger than three minutes of Mike Tyson. 10 seconds. I mean, you can now I'm saying this like if I was in the ring with Mike Tyson, I'm not freshly fed tiger. I think I agree with you and a hungry Mike Tyson. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not freshly fed tiger. Maybe now maybe if the tiger's had a couple ambience. What's the OK. So Mike Tyson at 60 years old, what's the worst that happens? You get like a terrible concussion. Oh, you die. Yeah, you could die. No, I'm saying if I did this against Mike Tyson, I would not and that Jake Paul fight. Watch him hit the bag. If he connects with your head with one of those punches that he could still throw your dead guaranteed like you would you could absolutely die. I think he could kill me. I'm I'm I'm saying that like if I was in with Mike Tyson, obviously I could you're going to run around. I could take a dive, but I'm saying in this situation, if I'm not allowed to take a dive and I have to keep standing up and trying to fight Mike Tyson for three minutes versus 10 seconds, there's a tiger in the other corner. And then I just step into the ring. I don't know if the tiger notices me or not. I just have to survive for 10 seconds and get out. I think I'd rather do that. Because I think one punch from Mike Tyson still to this day, my head just my fighting Tyson and a realistic scenario, a thousand percent fighting. What are the odds of death fighting Mike Tyson? Less than one percent. Less than one. Yeah. The odds of death in a tiger, I'd say probably about 85 90. Oh, I wasn't going to go that high, but higher than 50. I think like if a tiger wants to, yeah, and then it's 100. Yeah. Yeah. The tiger knew that I have to throw. So I'd say 70%. If the tiger knew it was in a fight, perceive me as a threat. Then you are 100% dead. The only way I can do the 10 seconds with a tiger is if you let me have like my pockets, like cargo pockets full of meat. Yeah. And you just throw some of the meat. Yeah. I can throw some meat. Yeah. Throw some meat. Can't do that. No meat. What about like a super soaker full of blood? No. There's no, no accessories. I just got the we're in boxing. Then Tyson. That's it. Because I mean, we're gloves. If I have gloves. Okay. We're both. Okay. I throw the glove off and I throw the glove across the ring. Then he goes to investigate the glove. And while he's doing that, I pop out. Well, if you take off your glove and the clock stops. Damn. Is that true? Yeah. Time stops. So you would lose. Yeah. I think my best. I think three minutes. I mean, because if you have a ref in there, just get hit once, do the Jose Canseco Billy football. You got to go the full three. Oh, well then you're definitely dead. You think? Mike Tyson's not stopping because a ref tells him to in three minutes. I'm dead. Absolutely. Like you get 10 seconds to get up and whatever, but you can't just like end the fight. Unless you get knocked out. Yeah. Because they couldn't, they couldn't judge my heart. So they would know I would just be like, I'm concussed. Yeah. Saffirly. Because I would be. That's what you would be. No. Yeah. A concussion, 1000%. One hit from, I don't think you're dying from Tyson. Any of us, one hit from Tyson. We are definitely knocked out. Definitely. Yeah. I could probably eat a jab, but anything that's not it, and I probably couldn't eat a jab. Like as hard as he hits jabs. I think we could. You think? I think you could eat a jab. A full-fledged jab. It's about like, yeah, the right hook from Tyson. Oh, right hook. You're dead. Any uppercut from Mike Tyson. Oh, the uppercuts that he used to throw against like Buster. Yeah. That would kill me. Yeah. So that is what I'm out on. Tiger eating animal. Let's just see what this is. I don't want to. Tiger hunts baby deer. The size of Bengal tigers is absolutely insane too. Like, compared to the lions. Just the look in this guy's face. I mean, you're so screwed. The look in the tiger's face? Yeah. Look at this guy, dude. Look at it. He's about to eat the fuck out of this thing. Yeah. See, I'm also banking on stepping in the ring with a tiger and the tiger is distracted by the other people that are like in the crowd. Oh, he's got him. I think the tiger would go after the ref first. That's something that you're going to have. That's a risk you're going to have to take. The ref steps to the middle and he's like, bring it in, you two. He's closer to the tiger than he is to me. That is true. Like, when you're in a race and it's you, another guy, and a bear, you don't have to outrun the bear, you just have to outrun the other guy. You don't have to be first, you just can't be last. Exactly. All right, well, that's it. Yeah, it's a decent hypothetical, I think. Throwing a live chicken at tigers. See how this ends. That would be a good time. Yeah. It's like, will it blend? Not good for the chicken. Not good. Definitely not. Not good. You know, I'm not going to go with it. I mean, he's dead in a second. Yeah. It is Masters week, which I'm very excited about. Every year that I get older, the more excited I get about the Masters. It's my favorite sporting event of the year. Really? Like, I don't think it's even, unless the Jags were in the Super Bowl, I don't think anything comes close for me. Really? Yeah. It's my number one favorite to watch. It is. It's soothing. It is. It's the same, like the colors of it, the sound, everything about it. Like, it's all the senses. Like, you get, I'll make a lovely little egg salad sandwich, have some fellas over. We're going to do Pimento. We're going to do the Masters menu over at my house on Sunday. My wife goes out of town for work on Saturday night. So just me and some fellas hanging out watching it. Do you do the pack you can order? What pack? What is that? Oh, you can order. I think they're sold out now. You could order the, they'll send you like Pimento cheese and egg salad and all that from the Masters. Oh, no, I didn't know that. Yeah. So there's, they have a new item this year, the candy bar. Oh, I haven't seen that. Yeah, a gust invented a candy bar that they're going to put out. I think it's like $1.50 because everything there is super cheap. Is it just classic chocolate or it's got stuff in it? No one knows. This is the first that they're putting it out. So today we'll probably find out. Today we're going to find out about the candy bar and it sounds intense. The other story that I was monitoring coming into this week at the Masters is the gnome situation. Are you familiar with the Masters gnome? I am. Sell out every year? It's not weird going back to Poc, this is the last year that they will be selling the gnome. Oh, I did not know that. Because the resale market on these gnomes has gotten out of control. They can be up to $10,000. If you have a 2016 gnome and it's original packaging, that's the first year that they put the Masters gnome out. Those are going for like $10,000 online. And they've had to make it, it's like China with their one child policy. They have a one gnome policy now at the Masters where each person, each card, so it's not like if you buy a gnome with a credit card, you can't go back later on that weekend and buy another gnome. They monitor which cards have bought gnomes. You can only buy one. And if you're there with your spouse or a significant other, you have to act like you're a separate family almost if you want to get two gnomes. Because they don't want husband, wife teaming up, going in, getting two gnomes. It breaks the spirit of the rule. So the Masters has decided that they are no longer going to be selling the gnomes. I think they're doing it because it turned the patrons at Augusta into wild animals with these gnomes. That's decidedly not the Augusta way. Trent always says that the pro shop there is like the wild west. That it's like the most intense situation. And they do a million dollars an hour. Yeah, because people will have like $10,000 worth of clothes. I found what's in this candy bar. Okay. They described it. Ready? Yeah. It's a dark chocolate blend that has caramel, rice crisp. And a hazelnut crunch. See I'm not, I never got into the hazelnut thing, but everything else is amazing. See like typically if you paired that and with their other seasonal treat that they have now, which is a peach ice cream sandwich. Yes. Like they use like a white blondie, like the ice cream sandwich, but the vanilla version with peach ice cream on the inside. That's a combo that you can get together. That sounds delicious. That sounds great. Because everything there has to be old person mouth. You know, like it has to be designed for old people. Yeah. Like the minto cheese, peach ice cream. This fits that. The hazelnut crunch, that's what did it. Yeah. That establishes, it's an old person thing. You gotta gum it to death sometimes. Yeah. And it sounds amazing. I would absolutely love it. God, I'm one of those egg salad sandwiches right now. The best egg salad sandwich I've ever had in my life from Willett in Kentucky. Yeah. On the Bourbon Trail at their distillery. Yeah. They do like a Japanese milk bread. They do this yoki egg jam that they do. That's like a yolk jam that has soy sauce blended into it as well. And then they have these fresh pickles that they make on site. Everything's done. I made a video about it and watched the guy do it. And then they shave like a mound, like as high as your delicious Stella blue can coffee, which is absolutely delicious as well. A stack of Parmesan cheese that high on top of it shaved right on it. Like they would do it all of garden, you know, like say when it is unbelievably good. This sounds like it's an experience. It is an experience. It was my very like, so I went. Is this your favorite sandwich? Yes. I've gone three years in a row to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail with some buds. And the first year we happened to go in there and I watched this Bourdain episode where he talked about if you ever go to a restaurant and something on the menu just sticks out as this doesn't make sense. He's like, that item is probably delicious. And I go to you go to a distillery, you know, everything else is you have teriyaki duck wings. That makes sense. Like you have all kinds of things that are typical bar food and then an egg salad sandwich with like a little star and they have like their little logo on it. You get that shit 10 times out of 10. It was after the first year, it was the very first stop that we had to make. Like we drove from Chicago there to get the egg salad sandwich for lunch. That sounds absolutely delicious. It was amazing. And Japanese milk bread is the goat of breakfast or of lunch sandwiches. I remember the first time I went to this one restaurant in Austin and they had pretty much your standard Tex-Mex fair there. And then their carnitas were marinated in milk, orange juice and Coca-Cola. And I saw that on the menu and that was like completely different from everything that had. I was like, that sounds so weird. Yeah. That I guarantee you it's good. And yeah, it's it's the best thing that they have there. That sandwich though, you're making me want to go to Kentucky just for that sandwich. It is. Google it. Look, you have to see what it looks like. Will it egg salad sandwich? Okay. Big T, what's your favorite sandwich? All the chicken parm sandwich. No, I mean like more specific like a chicken parm. You don't have like a favorite sandwich. Oh like from somewhere. I mean, look at that, dude. And they cut the Japanese milk bread like Texas toast. It's unreal. I want one right now so bad. I've done the copycat recipe. It's good, but not the same. So Big T, do you have a favorite particular sandwich? No, not really. The Chick-fil-A sandwich. Okay. Yeah. I mean, that's probably my most consumed of all time. Tried and true. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, not not like from a specific place really. Yeah. The the place up here that the demados, the bakery, they do a good chicken parm sandwich. They do a great chicken Caesar. There's another place. Not the salad. It's like this. The wrap. No, not the wrap. It's like a chicken Caesar salad with cutlet on a on a sandwich roll. Okay. It's so good. There's a place here that has gone viral for the chicken Caesar wrap. Shout out, Mooby. What's it? Little victories. That's what it's called. Okay. They're big on TikTok. Mooby bought a beach house based on chicken Caesar salad. Yeah. That's what she said. What do you mean? She just bought herself a house. And she was like, thank you to chicken Caesar salads. Good for her. She's she got that beach house money. Got that beach house. Jersey Shore. Incredible. Yeah. Shout out all the gyms and chicken Caesar salads. Hell yeah.

I have no rhyme or reason for the bets that I put in. Brooksy in there? Well, yeah, I got to do Brooks, got to do Max. And then I got to do our guy Jake Knapp that Arian and I always bet on. And then I did Robert McIntyre. I did Siwoukham and Chris Goderup. I'll probably add in another one. This does not sound like a profitable betting strategy. No, you're good. Yeah, I'll probably be good. Also Scotty just had a baby. So is that good for me? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, we have I have a future from several months ago. It was US to win the hockey gold medal, Michigan national championship in basketball and Scotty Sheffler masters. Pretty confident Michigan's going to win tonight, in which case, I mean, you know, golf's a hard sport to predict, but I got the best guy. Yeah. Yeah, you got to like your chances going in for sure. If we can just get him to Saturday, then we'll have some, some opportunities to play around. But we're here. I've done that 65 to one. It's pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. And I feel like having a fresh baby is always that's good luck at Augusta. Did he win right after Bennett was born? I he won right before. The masters right before Bennett was born was 2024. And he did win that year because Rory won last year. Right? Yes. Rory won last year. He's trying to go again. Who do you guys like? Victor Hoblin? Oh, like personally, personally. She's a bit like Ludwig. I love Rory. And I also love Scotty. You still love Rory? I really love him. Rory's got a bad attitude. He does have a bad attitude. I like to have $800 million or sour puss, dude. Oh, I still like him. I love Scotty. You should, you've been rich and famous since you were 20 years old. Remember when you spent a wedding? Like have a bad attitude. When he drove away fast in that parking lot. Yeah. Could have killed somebody. I like Rory. I like Scotty. Jordan Spieth's like my OG. Yeah, you love him. What about? I like Jordan Spieth. Oh, I like Tommy Fleetwood. Yeah, I was going to ask about Tommy. He's got those. He's got those fake teeth, though. Tommy Fleetwood. And I love his little son. I would like to see Tony Fiena go on a run. Trying me hardest. Oh, I love him and his family are adorable. Yeah. Tony's got a good attitude. I also like Akshay Bhatia, who I believe is homies with Aryan at this point. I think they golf in the same area. Oh, yeah, he's a Houston guy, I think. Yeah. I'm trying to think who else. What do you think about Tommy Fleetwood having a brand new sponsor that he's wearing this week? Is it Blackstone? Yeah, he's doing Blackstone. He's doing Blackstone asset management, private equity. Yeah. That's an interesting... This tells me that bullying is working on Blackstone because never before has a private equity company felt the need to advertise themselves. In fact, most of them would probably prefer that you don't know their name. Especially Blackstone. Now Blackstone has had so much bad press recently that they're like, we got to spend some money on advertising. And on the most likable guy on tour. Yeah, we'll get the wholesome guy. They did not put out a RFP and have Patrick Reed reply to this. They targeted Tommy Fleetwood and they're like, Tommy, will you take probably a good amount of money to be the face of Blackstone investments? Right on the head. Like front and center. I saw his press conference this morning and I was like, is that real? I like Tommy Fleetwood. That would make it tougher to root for him, I think. Totally. I don't want to... Well, actually Blackstone doesn't get money directly. If Tommy Fleetwood went to the Masters, he doesn't give them a cut. No, they would get return on investment for them. Which, okay. Yeah, the Blackstone thing's a tough, tough one to come around on. That's why I like... Is it Wyndham Clark? No, it's Cam Young that has the ad deal with Major League Baseball, right? Oh, really? Did I tell someone? Yeah, he just wears a polo with the MLB logo. That's the best case scenario. Yeah, Major League Baseball is like, we want to sponsor a golfer. Someone has a Keynes logo on their collar. That's a good one, too. That's a great one. That's a good one. Yeah, the Blackstone is tough. I don't watch golf every single weekend. Is this a new one? Like that he's whipping out for the Masters? Who's the Vanguard golfer? Who's the what? Vanguard. Well, I don't know. I got to take a look at what the new wave of sponsors are. I know MegaCorp is still heavily involved in the Brian Harmon game. I saw that yesterday. But yeah, I think Tommy started wearing Blackstone last week. And I'm assuming I think he played over the course of this last weekend, didn't he? At Valero, I think. At Valero? I saw. Yeah. I didn't see him near the top. But yeah, so be on the lookout for that. Yeah, just feels like a bad time to introduce the Blackstone sponsorship. Yeah, but I mean, I'm still rooting for a son. Oh, yeah. I want his son to get over that water. I know. He's been working really hard. Do you think the son will have a Blackstone hat on? That'd be funny. It's the same. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, Tommy, your son is going to be actually sponsored by Northrop Grumman. Yeah. I mean, they should get a sponsor for him. He's going to be all over it. If you want to be likable. Yes. Yeah. Tommy Fleetwood's son on Wednesday. Yes, our advertiser on these golfer kids. Yeah, Raytheon presents Tommy Fleetwood's son. Poppy McElroy. Yeah, Poppy McElroy. Yeah. Lockheed Martin. Yeah. Speed boys. Oh, gosh. Yeah. Okay. No, never mind. I was about to say something that I should not have said to us. So I stopped myself. No, no, this is good. This is a good one that I stopped myself on. Trust me. I'm learning. It's only taken me 10 years. I'm starting to figure it out. You better watch out. Can you say it just for us and we'll bleep it? No, I'll say it afterwards. Okay. What's the difference? Don't worry about it. These voicemails are brought to you by FastGrowingTrees. I was going to talk to you about, I would wear a hat for FastGrowingTrees. Would you? I'll wear a hat. Stop interrupting. I need to know. I'm in the market for a lot of new trees. March is coming.

I love it. I am so furious that I don't have them as an advertiser on mine. There is nothing like having a tree that you planted fruit for the first time. One of my biggest hates of leaving my house in San Antonio was that it was the first year that I had figs that actually produced fruit. This year, or last year, was supposed to be the year that it really produced a lot of fruit and I missed out on it. That is tough to walk away. My blueberry bushes have some blooms on them already this year. That's huge. When do they come in? I think mid-summer. I think mid-summer. Yeah, if you eat, like even a tomato that you grow yourself. Oh yeah. Do they got cherry trees? I'm sure they do. Yeah. I'm sure they do. They've got redbud trees too. Yeah. I got one of those last year. What about cherry blossoms? I don't know if they have cherry blossoms or not. If you want a beautiful tree, a red Japanese oak. Or Japanese maple. Japanese maple. Yeah, yeah. Those are great trees. They don't grow too tall either. They don't. I have a couple at my house and they're absolutely gorgeous. Yeah. I had one of those when I was a kid. I had one of those in my front yard and it was my favorite tree that they had. That Magnolia tree. Yeah. That Magnolia tree. I'm going to go to the rain. The Magnolia trees. The bloom smells so beautiful. I'm going to go to fast growing trees. I'm going to check this out. I'm going to see if they have any cherry trees. I would love a cherry blossom. I would too. It looks like they do have some cherry trees. Oh yeah, they do. Wow. Oh yeah. Oh, they got multiple varieties of them. We got the Bing cherry, the Rainier cherry, the Black Tartan cherry, the Lapin. Oh my God, the Monk. Oh my. I'm getting some Japanese cherry trees. You should. Yeah. You should. Oh, these all look so good. All right, let's do some voicemails. Sorry for nothing on trees. No, this is great. I don't think you even got shrubs. Tell them to reach out to me. I need this as an advertiser. Reach out. Reach out, trees. I need it. Oh man, you can even go by zone. What zone you're in? You can search for climate. We're in zone six right here. Hell yeah. So if you're in Chicago or you're in zone six. What do we got? That's a ringier cherry. That's the preeminent cherry in the game. Is there a ringier cherry? Like if you're going to make a cherry tart, you better be using ringier. Are those the ones that are a little bit white sometimes? Yeah. Yeah, those are good. Yeah. They usually stay firm longer too. Yeah. Man. I want to make some brandy. Do my own cherries and then make some brandy. How do you make brandy? I think it's the same process as wine, isn't it? Just with fruit? Yeah. Or maybe there is a distilling process involved. I've always thought that brandy has a lot in common with whiskey. Is that not true? Yeah, I think it is. I think there is a distill, like a still involved. Okay. I always wanted to have the brandy from President Bartlett's private orchard in New Hampshire. Yeah. Are you familiar? I'm not familiar with that. From the West Wing? I'm not familiar with that. No. Because he's a two term governor of New Hampshire. Okay. His farm had cherries that he would make brandy and he would give them as a gift to different visiting heads of state. That makes sense. Also shout out to the Macro Dosing Lister that sent in like artisanal small batch maple syrup. Appreciate that. That was my favorite. I didn't get any of that. I didn't get any either. I'm sorry. I was addressed to me. I didn't know what it was. I got it home and it was small batch maple syrup. How small is the batch? You want some? How many bottles are there? One bottle. Okay. No, you can have the bottle. We can share the bottle. You have spoken about your love for authentic. Yeah. I said that's the one thing. I'm kind of bougie about that. I guess you could say. It's all right. Maybe it's not bougie. It's just like I think that the ceiling on maple, good quality handmade maple syrup is so much better than any other kind of syrup that you can get. Me and Kate used to, when we had serious radio, we used to do this thing where we would have a weird topic of the day. One of my favorite ones would be naked dad radio where we'd have people call in and tell us their favorite story about seeing their dad naked and we'd always get really good ones. We would do peanut butter radio, sweet potato radio, your favorite story about those things. We did honey and all these different beekeepers were calling in and telling us about their favorite honey that they make. Yeah. Like, oh, I moved my hives right by this blueberry tree and it was amazing. One dude was like butter beans. And then I was like, I posted in a blog, a PO box. Within like three weeks, I had probably 400 jars of honey from like different people from like, because I was tweeting about it and stuff. They don't want to show off. I finally finished my last little bit of honey that I had like six months ago from that group. And it was one that was made from elderberries. Like a high level and it was the best honey of all time. So good. Never expires honey. Good regional honey is also delicious. Also way better than anything that you can get the store. I agree with that. This is the most 43 years old I've ever sounded on a podcast today. I'm like, the masters is the fucking best. I love trees. You're also talking about like this is the same thing that you did seven years ago. True. Yeah. Right. Yeah. You did a podcast through because you did the Chaps and Kate show. And then there was a brief period of time when Casey was your co-host. That was at first. Yeah. That was at first. How long did that last? I think three weeks, maybe two or three weeks. Who raised their hand first and said like, I feel like this were. Come on. Who do you think it was? Artistically not. It was definitely Casey. Aligned with this. Yeah. There was certain times where I would say shit and Casey would have like no idea what to say, like in response. Because I mean, think about when I first started here, the shit I used to say was outrageous, like perverted, like really intense. And she was just like, I don't really know what is going on here. And she came from like very traditional sports background. Oh, she's Big J. Yeah. Yeah. Big J journalist. Yeah. And so then she was like, I think I'm going to actually do something different. I was like, cool. Kate, Kate was like, put me in coach. I'm ready to get weird. I want to go back. Can we find those? Those like original episodes of you and Casey? Probably. I thought that they were pretty good. Like our like our rapport back and forth was good. I thought it was fine, but it was really like once Kate came on and those days were ridiculous, man. Like start, I would start blogging at like 6am because that was when I was like, that was my major focus. So I have, I would blog like six, seven times a day. And then that showed it and start until 10pm. Yeah. And it would end at midnight. So, and then I would be back up the next day blogging and doing all that other shit again. It was absurd. The minds. Absurd. Yeah. Yeah. All right, let's play some of these voicemails. Hey guys, James from New Jersey here. I've got a very important historical hypothetical for you. And the stone rose away and Jesus comes walking out of the cave, crowd losing their mind. What song is blaring? I think we've got a few pretty good options here. We've got Without Me by Eminem for the guess who's back moment, which feels almost too perfect. We've got Jesus Walks by Kanye West. It might be the most on the nose pick of all time, but also might be a bit problematic. And I want to throw a wild card in here. Mama said knock you out by LL Cool J. Just coming out absolutely ready to make a statement and knock heads with love. We need to know what's the official walkout song of the resurrection. They beautiful. All right, this is this is really good question. It's like the closer walkout song except taken to a much, much more serious degree. I think you can't go wrong with ACDC. So I would say Thunderstruck would be a good one. But then how many of the apostles were around? Were they there? No, they weren't like around like a live still. No, like in the vicinity of Jesus. Zero zero zero zero. It was the ladies. Many do. Well, they weren't there. They came the next day because I would say boys are back in town would be a good one. The boys are back. I think you go the theme song Top Gun. OK. Like because you know, like the thunder rolls a little bit at the beginning of it. Yeah. Are you talking about the guitar theme song? Yeah, the guitar. Highway to the dangers. Oh, the guitar one. OK, I feel like it doesn't need words. Yeah, easy like Sunday morning would be a good one, too. No, I feel like that's too low key. I feel like you got to have something like we're here. It's time to get going in your face. Yeah, we did it. Yeah, you don't know about Peter and John running to the tomb. No, tell me, pull up, pull up John chapter 20. And just read it. So John, when he wrote his gospel, he never refers to himself by name. He only refers to himself as the the other disciple or the disciple whom Jesus loved, which was people think it was like a humility thing, like he doesn't want to refer to himself by name. Are you in? Are you in John chapter 20? I'm not sure what just what where the verses where they're that Mary Magdalene comes and tells them like the tomb is empty. Y'all need to come see this. And they they asked a woman, why are you crying? Thou have taken my Lord away. She said, and I don't know where they have put him at this. She turned around and saw Jesus standing there. But she did not realize that it was that's later. That's later. So Peter and the other disciples started. Yes, yes, both were running. But the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there, but did not go in. Then that's that's what I was talking about. OK, John wrote that he he outran Peter and got there first. OK, got it. Peter and the other disciple ran, but the other disciple got there first and outran him. They saw the linen, the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus's head. That's the Shroud of Turin, right? Uh, so I don't know if that exactly is, but the Shroud of Turin is thought to be the burial cloth. Yes. But yeah, I was just I was just saying that when John wrote his, he wrote that he ran faster. I like that. Yeah, it's a it's a fun little. It's a nice little detail that he put in there. I was way faster, though. Yeah, I like boys are back. I feel like that would be a good one for Jesus to roll out to or just roll out. Roll out. Yeah, ludicrous. Yeah, bring them out. Yeah, one of the worlds in that cave. Yeah, bring them out by T.I. What you got in that cave. Yeah, bring them out would be a great one. Mm hmm. I'm boozy badass. They call me punisher. I mean, Free Bird would rock too. Yeah. Free Bird's having a moment, I think. It's too much of a moment. Well, you'll be happy to know that we don't have any like big international competitions coming up for another couple months. Right. And so I'm sure it won't get. If they try to put Free Bird onto the US men's national team. We're doing way too much. Doing way way too much. Now, if if it's, I'll say that the quarter finals, if we're in the quarter finals and we've won some games have got us that point, then I think we can bring Free Bird out. Quarterfinal. That's winning two knockout games. Yeah. So I'm saying like we've won one ever. We have to be judicious with when we put Free Bird onto our national teams. By the way, we didn't talk about this last week. They they're they're kind of stinky. Yeah. 5 to 2 to Belgium, right? Was that Portugal? That was Belgium and then Portugal was to nothing as someone holding rather expensive tickets to the game that we would need to win the group to be in. I'm highly concerned. I don't. Are you think Turkey's going to win our group? Paraguay? Potentially. Well, yeah, we lose to South American teams like that all the time. Who's your second team in this tournament? My second team minds Congo. Easy. Yeah. Not making this since 1974. It is pretty cool. I haven't decided on my second team. I mean, I like I like watching Messi. I like Netherlands usually. I always liked the Ivory Coast fellas, too. Ivory Coast. I liked watching Cameroon when they've been in it because they just will beat the fuck out of you. Dude, I'm the most violent team. I'm so disappointed. I thought I was going to be in the Netherlands during the World Cup, but I'm going the week before it happened. I was so hoping to watch another one's match. Yeah, they're really good. That would have been awesome. I mean, just the vibes like them in the streets and other ones in the streets. Big, you like orange. You'd love it. No, I've seen them. Yeah. They are there big orange as well. I think I'm going to move for the United States and then my second team's Italy. So I hope one of my two favorite teams can win the World Cup this time. I don't think a lot of American cities are prepared for what the World Cup is going to be. Go on. Like I think we, you know, we host a lot of huge events here, but I don't think, you know, cities like Atlanta or Miami or wherever are prepared for like the influx of like what though this event is. They might not be because I mean, we've only is 94. Is that the only time we've had it? Yeah, it went pretty well in 94. Where was that LA? It was all over. Yeah. But I think it wasn't like that. We played in the Rose Bowl. Yeah. And I think that's where the championship game was, right? Was that Alexi Lalas this year? Yeah. Alexi Lalas. Let's see how many dudes I can remember if that team probably Alexi. Hang on, hang on, hang on. OK, 94. How many how many players from that roster do you think I can name? 13. Oh, shit. Geez. Yeah, I don't know if I can do that. Oh, really? I'll try. That's like half the roster. Yeah. All right, I'm on. 13 is that's every starter and then a couple guys on the bench. That was nine. I was nine years old. All right. You love that team. OK, Tony Miola. Yes. Great Italian-American goalkeeper. Tom Dooley. Yes. Marcello Balboa. Yes. Alexi Lalas. Yes. John Harks. Harks. Yes. Tab Ramos. Yes. Kobe Jones. Yes. Brian McBride. Yes. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm not seeing. McBride wasn't on that team. Brian McBride. I'm not seeing him on here. OK. You're back to seven. Back to seven. I said yes because I just assumed he had to be. Jeff Agus. No. He wasn't on that team either? No. Eddie Pope? No. Yeah, I think we might be stuck at seven. Hang on. There's one. If you, there's, OK, there are two that if you don't get, I mean, one we've discussed on this show a number of times. Howard? Did I not say Alexi Lalas? You did. OK. Tim Howard? Yeah. Way too early. Yeah, that's right. Casey Keller. Was he the backup goalie? No. Brad Friedl? Yes. OK. How have you not gotten this guy? See, John Hart. I mean, I could give you, it would give it away. Alexi Lalas, Marcello Balboa. This, this name is still involved in US soccer. Burhalter? Come on, man. No. Claudio Reina. Oh, Claudio Reina. OK. And there's one more, I feel like. He must have been really, really young on that team because like 2002, that was, that was his best World Cup, I think. There's one more you should definitely get. He was born in 1973, so he was 21. He was 21 at the time. And then, I'm just trying to think of other guys that we had in 2002 because that's the team that I really liked. It was way too early for Donovan. Think of your name. Oh, Eric Winaldah. Yes. OK, Eric Winaldah. I think, I think that's about it. PFT. That's about as far as this one goes. Yeah. Who did I miss? Hugo Perez. OK, don't remember him. Juergen Sommer. Don't remember him. Mike Sorber. Don't remember him. Ernie Stewart. I should have gotten him. Should have gotten Erne. Paul Caligieri. OK. Fernando Cluffejo. Frank Klopas. Mike Lapper. I haven't heard of any of these. OK, yeah. I think the only one, Ernie Stewart probably could have got that one. But yeah, you might be right, Big T. I don't know that cities are like prepared for it because you're going to have some wild, wild visitors. Or maybe everyone's going to be afraid to act up over here. You know what my favorite soccer player was? The watch just because of his hair. What year? Probably the same time, that fellow that played for Columbia that had the huge hair. Valderrama. Yeah, I love that. Carlos Valderrama. Yeah. Just a legend. A lion's mane. Yeah, he did. He was one of Escobar's favorite guys, I think. Oh, we don't say Escobar. Did you know that Colombians fucking hate it when people talk about him? Because that's like the first thing that somebody brings up when you're like, I'm from Colombia. Like I do those every country videos and went through in Colombia and I mentioned that I was going to go. And so many people were like, your video will go really viral and we'll all share it if you don't mention Pablo Escobar once. Like, don't even allude to it. Is a challenge? Yeah. So I'm going to do it. Yeah, you can definitely do it. I just know that with that guy, Valderrama, he was actually like, they were boys. I think I might get a jersey of his to wear. That'd be a good idea. That'd be a really good idea. He's a beast. Yeah. Also, their goalie that they had back then, I think his name was like Iguain and he was this dude with a Jerry Curl mullet. It was like a greasy curly mullet and this dude was fucking insane. There's a video. Look up a Colombian goalkeeper, Scorpion save. Oh, I do remember that. Have you seen that? Yes. He did that. He did that in a game. Yeah. Just a crazy dude. Pops it up like so high too. Yeah. Yeah, I remember that. Also, fast growing trees, they got Blackberry bushes. Let's go. I love a good Blackberry bush. That would be an interesting video series is like ask people from as many countries as possible. Like, what is the one thing that you hate when people bring up about your country? Yeah. Right. Maybe I'll do Man on the Street in Colombia for that. If it was, let's see some like other countries, New Zealand, they're probably like sick of the Hobbit. Yeah. And Lord of the Rings. Yep. What else would be up there? What would Australia say? Crocodile Dundee. Crocodile Dundee. Vigimoy. Got to be crocodile. They got real pissed at our Instagram because we said that Australian guys don't eat pussy. Mike, that's a bunch of rubbish. We fucking, it's cold down under, Mike. Like we go down. Wait, we caught the clam down under, right? His bloke's never been to Australia, obviously. Well, he eats pussy. Well, he eats a pussy before you step off the ship. All right. We got another voicemail. Yeah. I know a lot of y'all have been like traveling. Like, you know, each one of y'all, y'all don't travel the world a lot. Been a lot of different places. Y'all eat and give me y'all top three accents. The best three accents that you've heard and also which accent would you prefer your significant other to have? For me, it's something about like hearing the woman from like New Orleans. I did do something to me. So yeah, that's my question for y'all. Straight house with that beautiful, shut up. My favorite white boy, big T, PFT, big cat, all of. All right. Shout out to you as well, brother. Shout out. That's a good question. I'm going to go New Zealand. Really? Yeah. I love the New Zealand accent. Yeah. New Zealand's good. Not my favorite to hear. Ireland. It's a good accent. Always sounds funny. I don't know. I don't like it when they tink. What do you mean? When they tink it over? I tink in it. Like more Higgins? I'm tinking it over. Yes, exactly. That's exactly who I was thinking of. One, two, three. Yeah. I tink it was a bad thing. Mine would probably be for like a soft feminine voice, French. Like when I've been flying lately, I downloaded a playlist on Spotify that's soft French cafe that's kind of like Feast or Feist. What was that band? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I love that. Super soft French. I feel like that's a really nice accent. I think French is a great singing accent too. It is. Right? Yeah. I actually think the Icelandic accent is kind of nice. I don't know that I could pick that one out. Like Bjork? Okay. I still don't know if I could under like if I could pick out the Icelandic. Is that like the, is it almost Scandinavian? Mm-hmm. Like a Rödi Rödi Rödi. Yeah, it is Scandinavian. That thing? Yeah. And then I also really like just the posh British accent. Yeah. The posh one, I don't know. The posh one's too fancy for me. I would love to be fancy. Yeah. That's why I like the Irish accent. I like British but down to earth. And kind of New Zealand too. Kind of New Zealand, yeah. What about Chewbacca tea? Also honorable mention Baltimore. Hard to beat a nice Southern Bell like from Savannah. Right. Like that, like a soft, real welcoming Southern Bell accent. And you know about the British accent, right? Yeah, that's from the south. No. The Southern accent is from... Correct. That's what British people used to sound like. And then they changed it because they hated us. Well, I don't know if that's true. That is true. Like the way that British people... The way British people talk did not exist until the 1700s. They used to sound like people from Savannah. And they concocted that accent to differentiate themselves from Americans. I'll have to look at that. I think that might be fake. It's true. I got a hankering for some fish and juice. There's nothing I like doing more than a little lexiconology. Like a deep Savannah lexivirano. Like that's what they used to sound like. Like foghorn, like fucking... Kind of, yeah. Joe Kennedy. And then they changed it. I reckon my nephew's a pedophile. That guy talking the way he does. It's like, dude, you got your law degree from Oxford. Stop it. That's not the way you speak. President Andrew, you get your behind back in this house. Don't make me call your mama now. Foghorn, like horn. Yeah. I'll call your mama now. You hear me? Chaps, is there a difference between East Coast Florida and West Coast Florida? Like Pensacola versus Jacksonville? The accent. Yeah, definitely. It's definitely North and South, too. Yeah. What are the biggest differences? The... It's not as... Like Alabama, I feel like their accent, which is basically like the Panhandle of Florida, it's everywhere where I feel like in the Jacksonville area, it's tossed in every now and then, where you'll catch it. Like it's thick in the whole way through on the West Coast of Florida. Okay. Like the West Coast of Florida, the Pantala Hassee in West is essentially Alabama and like Georgia, Mississippi, it's the same. Jacksonville feels like a... Just like a dusting of an accent. Yes. All right. Yeah. And then no accident in Miami really, right? No. Like I don't feel... Different states. Like below Orlando is a different state than North Orlando. And then you can also carve out the Gulf region. Florida's really like three or four different regions. I think I could tell the difference between... Like the Flutmanic and Republic of Florida Rico. Yeah. I think I could tell the difference between East Tennessee and West Tennessee. Could you... Oh yeah. I mean, East Tennessee is... Oh yeah, very different. Middle Tennessee too is different from East Tennessee. Memphis is crazy different. Yeah. Yeah. That was the caller from Memphis. Memphis. You know, that's why the Tennessee flag is the three stars, the three grand divisions. So, what besides Knoxville is in East Tennessee? Bristol? Wisconsin City? Bristol? Yeah. Kingsport? Yeah. Yeah. Shout out to the caller. Sorry about LeBron. Yeah. That felt a lot of Memphis discourse recently. That felt a little unnecessary of LeBron to say that. That's like LeBron is just getting into the golf content. I think that was planned. I didn't see what he said. All right. Well, yeah, let's talk about Big T. So, LeBron went and he's been, you know, getting into golf recently. He's been watching a lot of YouTube golf. And he saw a lot of content from our good friends at Bob Does Sports. Shout out Bobby Burger, Fat Perez, the whole crew, Joey Colcutz. Great guys. Not so fat Perez. Not so fat. Actually, really dashingly. Appropriate sized Perez. Dashingly handsome fit Perez. Yeah. And LeBron liked their content. So, he's like, let's do a video. That's got to be one of the best calls that you can ever get if you're Bob Does Sports. It's like, hey, this is LeBron. I would like to do a video with you guys. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. He's out on the golf course and he's just chopping it up and he starts to talk about Memphis and he, I forget how it got brought up, but he basically said like, I hate Memphis. I never want to go there. Take the Grizzlies away and give them. Move to Nashville. Yeah. Move the Grizzlies to Nashville and people from Memphis understandably did not care for that at all from LeBron. So Big T. But it's also a reasonable take. It could be. Memphis has some nice things about it. Apparently, all the players hate the hotel they stay in in Memphis. They should be staying in the Bass Pro Shop pyramid, which is a beautiful hotel that I've stayed in with Billy Football and it's wonderful and I like it. But I've not, yeah, that's really what I like about Memphis is that one building. But what were you going to say, Big T, that you think this was intentional? I think there might be a coordinated effort on some people's part to try to facilitate some sort of change with the location of that team. And where do you think that team's going to end up? I don't know that they have any plans of moving. I just think there are a lot of people who would like it to. So you think that this was the hit got put out on Memphis and I think it was a very LeBron made sure to bring that up in a manner that he didn't have to. Because I think LeBron is trying to own a team. Could be entirely possible after he's done playing. And so I don't know if that would be an expansion team. Yeah, I definitely think he'll own a team. I think he wants the Vegas team. That's what I think. I saw. Have you seen the proposed names for that team? I don't know if that was official or just like they were horrific. Hang on. No, it's going to be. It's going to take some really terrible names for me to look at something and say these are they were bad. OK, I've seen them all. Let's see. Proposed Vegas NBA names. The Mirage Trash. That's horrible. The Joker's worse. The Outlaws. Not as bad as the other two, but bad. The Scorpions. Awful. Venom. The worst one out all of them. Vegas Venom. You don't like it. Horrific. So that's Venom and Mirage. Those are the two favorites right now. And the Joker's. I kind of you can't do the Joker's if like the closest team to where your team is based has a player whose nickname is Joker. Yeah, you can't do that. I kind of like Scorpions. It just feels like with all these new teams like a kindergarten or name. I know all the I know the main ones are taken at this point, but like it feels like we are really regressing in naming teams. Yeah, like the mammoth. OK, the Kraken was good. Kraken was pretty good. That's probably the best naming that's happened in a while. Yeah, Nashville couldn't figure out which one they want, what apex predator they want. So they just picked all of them. Like we're just going to be the predators. Yeah. Yeah, well, how did Nashville come to that? They're the saber two tigers. There was a now fact check this because this I'm not entirely 100% on. OK. They found a saber tooth tiger like bone when they were excavating the site for the arena. Yeah, I think I remember. So they were like, this is going to be the team now. Which is cool. Then go a saber tooth tiger. Don't go with predator. But how do you the saber teeth? Yeah, like what do you the teeth? Yeah, yeah. Oh, congratulations to the Buffalo Sabres. We can't see the longest playoff drought in sports. Yeah, now it's the Jets, right? Yeah, do you consider yourself a Buffalo Sabres fan? Yeah. Yeah. It's just good to not be the longest. Yes. Tough, tough day to wake up as a Jets fan, though. More so than usual. Prites have a massive game tonight. They could sneak into the playoffs. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Good for you. Is that story correct? It looks like there have been saber tooth tiger bones that have been unearthed around Nashville during the construction of the UBS tower. So I think that's kind of what they named them after. OK, I thought it had something to do with when they were building the arena, but I could be fuzzy on that. So they were discovered at a site near the Bridgestone Arena, which could just mean anywhere downtown as we're doing construction. But yeah, there's fine enough. Yeah, they're doing a local time. I also I do like to crack it. I think the cracking is a good name. I don't mind the mammoth. It's not bad. OK, yeah. So the before the Nashville predators received their official name, they had a logo of saber tooth tiger modeled after a fang and four leg bone of the extinct animal found in the summer of 1971 at the construction site of the current UBS tower on Diedrich Street. OK, downtown Nashville. So it was a while before, but that was the impetus of it. OK. You know what? I. I actually don't mind the pelicans either. I like the pelicans. Pelican. It's a unique name. And it fits the area. Yeah. And also pelicans are. And it doesn't have to be some like the mistake that the pelicans made is that they made it be like a tough pelican. Yeah, like on their logo. Have a cartoon pelican. Yeah. Or remember their original mascot, scared kids. They had to change him. Right. Like just get like a regular ass pelican. Yeah. And you're good. The same thing the suns. They should have never went away from just the silly little gorilla. I think that pelicans are an underrated, terrifying bird when you see it in nature. Oh, yeah. Like they're dinosaurs. They will eat. I've seen pelicans will eat like baby birds. Huge. That are just walking down the street. Yeah. A pelican will roll up to the baby birds and just eat them whole. I'm glad you're finally saying something. Yeah. Pelicans. I like I like the mascot, the pelican. I like the mammoth. I like the kraken. I don't know if I like any of these teams. What's that little the venom? I don't know. Trash Las Vegas Mirage sounds kind of good, but it's also probably hotel. It's the name of a hotel. But Las Vegas Mirage is kind of like that to me seems like the most natural. I think that team name needs to be something less on the nose. Yeah. Oh, we're the jokers. We're the we get it. There's casinos there. I don't feel like you can go anything like heat related to it because you're dealing with the Phoenix Suns right there. Yeah, nothing's hotter than the Suns. Yeah. What about the brothels? Yeah, I wouldn't mind that. Sluts. Yeah, well, the Vegas strippers, that would rock. Yeah, I think they. Maybe I'll shut that down real quick. Magic City Night. Yeah, all right. Honestly, they should do a trade with Washington and become the Wizards because there's way more magic in Vegas and then have the have Washington bring back the bullets. Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. I've been saying that we should bring back the bullets for a long time. The bullets is a cool name. I think enough time has passed. The murder rate has dipped quite a bit over the last 30 years. They forgot about arenas. They might have forgotten. Well, that set the cause of because there were a lot of us in the DC sports fan community in the the mid to I'd say the mid 2000s that were actively trying to get the name bullets back and they were doing more like throwback nights. And it seemed like maybe it was a possibility. And then when your two best players bring guns into the locker room and shoot each other, that sets that set the cause back another 30 years. Yeah. If that hadn't happened, we might we might still be. We might have the Washington Wizard or the Washington bullets back. Instead, we got the Washington Wizards and it's the I think the worst name in all the sports, even worse. I think it's worse than the commanders. I don't I don't hate the commanders. Just based on where it is, I feel like it fits the city. If they if they get back to winning, nobody will care about the name. The name sounds a lot better when it's a winning team. There's an area Jack war anywhere around Jacksonville when I'm aware of. It's alliterative. Yeah, it is. It is. I do love a good alliteration. I'm sure there probably was. They like back in the day. Yeah. Yeah. All right. We got another voicemail. Let's rip one more. A great assist can be a game changer when you have stayed farm with an award winning mobile app plus local agents all over the country. State Farm is ready with the assist when and how you need it. State Farm with the assist coverage options are selected by the customer availability and eligibility vary by state. Yo, what up guys? It's Justin from Birmingham, currently up in Milwaukee for work. I wanted to know big T specifically. What are your thoughts on adults like specifically adult men bringing baseball gloves to a major league baseball game currently up at the Milwaukee Brewers game playing the Tampa Bay Rays show acting them shout out area. Just want to know what you guys think. Stay handsome. Stay beautiful. Love you guys. Yeah. You can't do it. I can't do it. I don't think so because so if you're bringing it just to try to catch a foul ball, the odds of that are infinitesimal to begin with. And then like what you're going to wear at the whole game as you're sitting there like so that I don't find that to be a valid excuse. The only other reason you'd bring it would be if you're going to batting practice, which is something I did enjoy very much as like a teenager and young adult. But you just then you're dealing with like, oh, what? You're going to catch a ball in batting practice and then there's kids and like you don't give it to the kid. Yeah. And it just it just creates a bad situation for you. So there's no real good reason to do it. I think you can do it if you if you're bringing a kid to the game, because then you might get a ball for the kid. That does change things. I think you could do it if you're bringing whimsy. Just for fun. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like I feel like we shit on people too much for just having a good time. I agree with that for the most part. You're going to you're going maybe not if you're going to the World Series, but if you're going to White Sox game currently and you're paying eight dollars, you're going for the love of the game. Yeah. Put on your glove, Bubba. Get after it. Jim Harbaugh still brings his glove to every game he goes to. Because he's about whimsy. He really well, I think he's just about competing. Yeah. I think to him, it's like a challenge. Yeah. Every game that he goes to. But that's the thing. He would box out a kid. Yes. And then you open yourself up to criticism. But then that would but he wouldn't care about the criticism because he would know that he was teaching that kid a valuable lesson. Get your weight up. Yeah. Get your weight up and you need to learn how to maintain a low center balance and fight through fight through the block. I don't like I would not look at someone. I don't have a problem with it. I just think you're opening yourself up to unnecessary. Now, if you bring a glove and you miss the catch, ridiculed for life. Yes. You better. You better look like a young David Justice. Yeah. There. Yeah. If you bring a glove. Yeah, you got to make that grab. Anything near you. I'd even say Andrew Jones. If you were if you had a glove and nobody else in your vicinity had a glove and somebody else bare hands it while you go for it with a glove, that is the worst moment of your life. That should be the same exact rules as if you don't hit it past the ladies teasing golf. You got to do the next couple of pitches with your pants around your ankles. Yeah, just watch the rest of the game. But if that's all. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, thank you to Chaps. Appreciate you joining us today, Chaps. Yeah. And we will see you around.

A new episode with Rome came out. It was good. He talked about Ethiopia and he got guns drawn on him. He went to a wedding over there, right? Yeah. Yeah. Got weapons drawn on him.

Let me see. I'll ask you what tomorrow's is. No cheating. No cheating. I did text myself a question. Oh, what's the biggest country without an airport? Oh. Biggest country, no airport. The answers to these are always like Vatican City. But I'm sure the Vatican does have. It's going to be a tiny Vatican City has to have an airport. I was going to say Lichtenstein. Nope, not Lichtenstein, but you're on the right track. Luxembourg. Luxembourg. I knew it was one of those. Luxembourg doesn't have one. It's crazy. There's Luxembourg flag very visually pleasing.
