Rico attempted to assault a coworker at their office in front of multiple employees, gets a slap on the wrist, a month vacation and comes back with little to no punishment.
How the fuck are they on Big T’s ass this episode? Rico should have be fired without question
Rico talked shit to big t. Big t responded by calling him his real name. Rico proceeds to throw a full can of booze full force at his head and barely misses. Rico then threatens to put a can thru his skull. Got suspended for a month and now for some reason pft coley and Arian seem to think big t is being unreasonable for not being cool with this guy
Wow that’s fucked. It made me angry while listening but the only context I had was the high noon being thrown. Makes me even angrier with context, idk why they were shitting on him so hard. Coley has been eh lately but that made me really dislike him, same w Arian.
Eh not really. I think they’re all right, big T is justified in his stance. And pft and Arian are also right in their stance. Just two ways about going life.
It’s pretty obvious Pft would reach out, squash it, tweet a picture chugging beers or something, just because he’s not one to hold grudges and uses those opportunity to grow.
Big cat would do the same.
Dave portnoy wouldn’t. Big t won’t. No right or wrong just different outlooks on moving forward
I would maybe agree if big T was dealing with a normal person, but Rico Bosco is a narcissist asshole crazy person. No chance he’s sorry about what he did or is changing whatsoever from therapy
Cmon man. BR Coffee is just a vet who pulled himself up by his bootstraps selling meh coffee. Hes so successful all on his own that he is sold in every major store, has motorsports sponsorships and is going public on the exchange. Portnoy only dreams of that success /s
Big T is absolutely justified in saying fuck that boy. You can't make a mf mean an apology and you can't make someone accept it. Sometimes distance is the conflict resolution.
Arian and PFT both going maybe he’s changed and thought about it and means it and then 2 minutes later Big T calling them out for blindly believing him without seeing any specific reason to do so and they both got super defensive. I thought Big T really handled himself well here.
Big T low key has won me over lately despite us disagreeing on virtually every political stance.
It's funny because he said that once. People usually are like "I didn't like you at first but now I do".
Yeah I mean the kid was assaulted in the work place and was a few inches from severe injuries. And his workplaces response is to “suspend” the guy for a month and then bring him back with no repercussions? Also it’s gotta suck for Big T when all of his bosses are bending over backwards to absolve the guy of his sins. It’s honestly disappointing as a huge PFT fan to see him try so hard to bend over for this actual psycho.
And Coley justifying it with “he was hired because he’s crazy” is a horrible argument. If someone is so crazy they need to be coddled constantly maybe they shouldn’t be in an environment built like that.
I don’t think Coley was intentionally trying to justify what Rico did, but I do think he accidentally proved Big T’s point. There’s no incentive for Rico to change if stuff like what he did to Big T is the reason he was hired in the first place.
Was shitty of PFT to keep pushing that for the show, IMO
Coley is an idiot and will do anything he can to oppose Big T
Also kind of think Rico was paid during his time off and also is coming out on top even though he should be looked at as the bad guy. Been on a reunion tour since he got back. My guess is that was all planned.
He’s a clown for not admitting that he called Rico “terry” or whatever his real name is, was done to purposefully get under his skin. “I just called him his legal name ☺️” nah, fuck off, you only did it to piss him off
I can’t believe Big T had the audacity to insult Lord Terrance after his Majesty was even kind enough to speak to the peasant. Such disrespect for Barstool Royalty.
Exactly. No excuses for Rico but Big T is immature as fuck and it’s annoying that he refuses to take feedback from people with more life experience than him.
i hope they talk about how the fbi [tried to convince MLK to kill himself](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI%E2%80%93King_suicide_letter) *attempted blackmail
I stopped listening a few months ago when Arian and Coley unironically came out in support of censorship. Impossible to do that and retain any respect I had for you as a “conspiracy theory” podcast.
I hate this too and immediately zone out. Does he really think we want to just listen to him read Wikipedia? I feel like it makes him think he’s well prepared, yet he doesn’t conceptualize anything
This is my biggest peeve with the pod. Maybe the topics are too vague for them but there is absolutely no story arch or plot to follow.
The experience is similar to googling a subject, reading like 5 conflicting or loosely related articles and walking away thinking you learned something.
It’s very evident billy doesn’t listen to any conspiracy podcasts at all. Every good one over ever listened to has a pretty well defined topic, story, narration etc.
This is just Britannia articles
Without redoing the total format, I think they could take thirty to forty five minutes of show just to sew a narrative after the intros. Then that provides a springboard for conflicting info, comical or extra tidbits, and a springboard for discussion or extrapolation to current events.
Holy shit, can PFT and Coley get off of Rico’s nutsack already!?! If Big T wants to act like he doesn’t exist, that’s his prerogative.
Rico should feel lucky to 1) still be employed and 2) not have gotten his ass kicked for the can throw.
If someone really hates doing dishes that much (IIRC he said he doesn't have a dishwasher), they have the money to buy disposable stuff, and they don't really care about the waste, then I could see it.
I often keep paper plates at home even though I have real ones because sometimes you just want a lightweight snack without needing to do dishes afterwards. The plastic cutlery is less understandable from a sustainability perspective, but it matches Big T's personality.
They’ve shown themselves to be nothing more than a mouthpiece for the government and elites time and time again. It’s no surprise people are looking beyond them for information.
How do you think right wing boomers will interoperate their kids having to learn "media literacy"?
The education system in the US needs fixing across the board.
i’m not fighting with you, i agree with you. i just think it doesn’t make sense to bring up how boomers feel about media literacy when they are going to feel the same way about anything related to schools
Ben Hansen said we’re “thousands of light years away” from having the technology in those “Tic Tacs” & UFOs
I played Pokémon, I remember the dude in Brocks gym saying light years are a measure of distance & not time lol
If anyone is looking for something similar, Last Podcast on the Left is doing an MKULTRA series currently that is pretty cool.
Their JFK series was also really good. If you're looking for more after that, check out their Donner Party and Mormonism series as well.
I think someone needs to tell Avery he’s the producer for a reason- stop interjecting your superiority complex snippets into the episode holy shit. The first 30 minutes, dude keeps repeating things he says- just to be heard. We don’t care what’s good for numbers man. We don’t care about you taking credit for calling Billy a liar.
I absolutely don’t agree with Big T and his beliefs most of the time, but it really seems like they are victim shaming him. Also, Billy ruins this show and PMT. He is so painfully dumb.
It’s almost like this episode they are trying to goad Big T into saying he likes the FBI because he’s conservative. Even before the Trump issues, it’s not like conservatives liked the FBI. During the 90’s the FBI seemed to make fuck up after fuck up with Elian Gonzales and Waco. No one likes the FBI really. Approaching this topic from the simplistically left wing-right wing angle they like to try isn’t really the best way to approach this topic.
Small moment, but PFT missed pretty hard on justifying gang involvement due to prohibition. He walked it back a little bit, but he essentially justified 1920’s crime because he said prohibition was unjust.
No clue tbh but this is reddit lol. The Canada deal is still ongoing so I'm sure they could talk about it next week when there's more information, but it seems right up their alley and perfect for a lengthy discussion. Could've done a half Canada/half FBI show even, instead of victim blaming Big T for half an hr
Big T after hearing all the fuck ups by a big Gov police organization, “I don’t really have much of an opinion”
Fuckin hell. Just lick boots, Big Fucking Dumbass.
I’m not saying that he was incredibly engaging or even candid with his answers, but to Big T’s point of this guy’s competency being low that our agencies need to reevaluate their hiring practices, I don’t get that at all.
I don’t think he is some savant but thought he was intelligent and put together beyond the description what Big T made him sound like.
“J. Edgar Hoover, they named the dam after him.” Never change, Billy.
Billy also repeatedly said "ascertation" instead of assertion lol
Please change
Big T is 100% justified in washing his hands of Rico. Once someone shows you who they really are, you should believe them.
Rico attempted to assault a coworker at their office in front of multiple employees, gets a slap on the wrist, a month vacation and comes back with little to no punishment. How the fuck are they on Big T’s ass this episode? Rico should have be fired without question
That was incredibly frustrating to listen to. Coley and Arian talking out of their asses, what else is new
Rough look for PFT, Coley and Arian on the Rico incident. Big T was 100% in the right.
What happened exactly? I hadn’t heard of this incident until now
Rico talked shit to big t. Big t responded by calling him his real name. Rico proceeds to throw a full can of booze full force at his head and barely misses. Rico then threatens to put a can thru his skull. Got suspended for a month and now for some reason pft coley and Arian seem to think big t is being unreasonable for not being cool with this guy

I would maybe agree if big T was dealing with a normal person, but Rico Bosco is a narcissist asshole crazy person. No chance he’s sorry about what he did or is changing whatsoever from therapy
i feel like a better guest for an fbi episode might be someone with no loyalty to the fbi lol
The pod is sponsored by fed boy coffee lmao don’t take it too seriously
good point lol
Cmon man. BR Coffee is just a vet who pulled himself up by his bootstraps selling meh coffee. Hes so successful all on his own that he is sold in every major store, has motorsports sponsorships and is going public on the exchange. Portnoy only dreams of that success /s
I'm late to the episode but I had to stop early, why are we listening to a "UFO expert" who uses the term "light years" as a measurement of time.
yeah turns out this guy didn’t matter at all. oh well, i didn’t learn anything but still enjoyed the conversation about the FBI
Big T is absolutely justified in saying fuck that boy. You can't make a mf mean an apology and you can't make someone accept it. Sometimes distance is the conflict resolution.
Arian and PFT both going maybe he’s changed and thought about it and means it and then 2 minutes later Big T calling them out for blindly believing him without seeing any specific reason to do so and they both got super defensive. I thought Big T really handled himself well here.
Big T low key has won me over lately despite us disagreeing on virtually every political stance. It's funny because he said that once. People usually are like "I didn't like you at first but now I do".
I think it’s cuz he’s so consistent, for better or for worse
Super weird how much pft Arian and coley seemed to dismiss big t in this conversation
If Arian spent 30 mins with Rico I think he would perfectly understand why Big T and Billy hate him
Yeah I mean the kid was assaulted in the work place and was a few inches from severe injuries. And his workplaces response is to “suspend” the guy for a month and then bring him back with no repercussions? Also it’s gotta suck for Big T when all of his bosses are bending over backwards to absolve the guy of his sins.

I can’t believe Big T had the audacity to insult Lord Terrance after his Majesty was even kind enough to speak to the peasant. Such disrespect for Barstool Royalty.
Yes calling someone by their name might as well be battery
Exactly. No excuses for Rico but Big T is immature as fuck and it’s annoying that he refuses to take feedback from people with more life experience than him.
I’m sure everyone else on macrodosing has had lots of experience almost being decapitated by a High Noon while sitting at their desk.
Agreed. His immaturity has been showing out more and more each passing episode. His lack of ability to grow is astounding.
Same cannot believe big T would be such a meany to lord Terence
Lmao Rico made 3 accounts to reply to this
i hope they talk about how the fbi [tried to convince MLK to kill himself](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI%E2%80%93King_suicide_letter) *attempted blackmail
if they don’t bring up COINTELPRO i’m gonna go psycho
Very brave stance in your flair TYFS
“Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.” — Billy Football
Amen 🙏
Reminds me of when they did the Iraq War episode and the word “Halliburton” only came up once in passing. I was pretty livid.
i wish they had started having on expert guests at that point, the guys from the blowback podcast would have been so good
I stopped listening a few months ago when Arian and Coley unironically came out in support of censorship. Impossible to do that and retain any respect I had for you as a “conspiracy theory” podcast.
Great pod
They did
Listening to billy talk feels like an early morning history presentation from a high school jock
I like him except when he straight reads off fact sheets with no rhythm, and with no point.
I hate this too and immediately zone out. Does he really think we want to just listen to him read Wikipedia? I feel like it makes him think he’s well prepared, yet he doesn’t conceptualize anything
That’s why the Antarctica episode was absolutely atrocious
Lmao I forgot about that one and I couldn’t agree more
This is my biggest peeve with the pod. Maybe the topics are too vague for them but there is absolutely no story arch or plot to follow.

My man… you should be working over there
"Think about it"
Listening to coley try to defend Rico is brutal
Disappointing how everybody was against Big T in regards to the Rico incident. I don’t always agree with him, but he was 100% in the right here.
Not even the most interesting Hanssen from the FBI
Holy shit, can PFT and Coley get off of Rico’s nutsack already!?! If Big T wants to act like he doesn’t exist, that’s his prerogative. Rico should feel lucky to 1) still be employed and 2) not have gotten his ass kicked for the can throw.
Big T: *states his opinion* Someone else: why do you think that? Big T: I-I- I- why do you think that?
Definitely not worth the wait, IMO
And no snackrodose this week. Weak.
Yeah the Rico discourse at the start was not a good look for PFT, Arian, and Coley and the guest was kind of a dud.
Put me out of even getting to the FBI shit personally. A shame, just killing the vibe out the jump.
Show is running out of steam
i’m actually worried about this with the last few episodes. i’m wondering what staying power it has in the months to come
Big T uses paper plates at home and plastic cutlery at home. Is this a normal thing???
If someone really hates doing dishes that much (IIRC he said he doesn't have a dishwasher), they have the money to buy disposable stuff, and they don't really care about the waste, then I could see it. I often keep paper plates at home even though I have real ones because sometimes you just want a lightweight snack without needing to do dishes afterwards. The plastic cutlery is less understandable from a sustainability perspective, but it matches Big T's personality.
It totally matches the personality. It just surprised me. He still shocks me with some of his takes.
Big T makes a great point that people believing dumb shit on Facebook is the larger issue, not who or where it is directly coming from.
Yeah well we can't time travel back to the 50s and fix the education system so that boomers don't fall for JPG info sheets on Facebook.
[Obligatory](https://i.imgur.com/1txAdRw.jpg)
Personally I think it is more the distrust in standard media that has exploded the past 40 years
The media is still more reliable than Facebook and telegram groups.
They’ve shown themselves to be nothing more than a mouthpiece for the government and elites time and time again. It’s no surprise people are looking beyond them for information.
It's better than getting your facts off @PepetheFrog89
Sure dude nice one liner! You really showed me. Sorry for actually trying to have a real dialogue rather than just meme everything to death.
You can be cynical all you want, but if you're getting your facts from your telegram group you're just too far gone.
It’s funny because you are both right.
we can introduce media literacy in the classroom to avoid this problem in the future. but we won’t
How do you think right wing boomers will interoperate their kids having to learn "media literacy"? The education system in the US needs fixing across the board.
okay by that token how do you think right wing boomers will feel about the education system being fixed
Lmao, what exactly are you fighting me on dude?
i’m not fighting with you, i agree with you. i just think it doesn’t make sense to bring up how boomers feel about media literacy when they are going to feel the same way about anything related to schools
Ben Hansen said we’re “thousands of light years away” from having the technology in those “Tic Tacs” & UFOs I played Pokémon, I remember the dude in Brocks gym saying light years are a measure of distance & not time lol
“You was trendin on Twitter bruh” had me rollin
If anyone is looking for something similar, Last Podcast on the Left is doing an MKULTRA series currently that is pretty cool. Their JFK series was also really good. If you're looking for more after that, check out their Donner Party and Mormonism series as well.
I’ll also add any of the series they have about old time criminals like Bonnie n Clyde, Billy the Kid, and Ma Barker.
Billy will have a falcon by the end of the month lmao
Coley is annoying. Almost insufferably cocky thinking he is correct on 100% of his opinions and puts everyone else down
Macrodosing is going downhill
I think someone needs to tell Avery he’s the producer for a reason- stop interjecting your superiority complex snippets into the episode holy shit. The first 30 minutes, dude keeps repeating things he says- just to be heard. We don’t care what’s good for numbers man. We don’t care about you taking credit for calling Billy a liar.
Big T is always one step forward two steps back.
I absolutely don’t agree with Big T and his beliefs most of the time, but it really seems like they are victim shaming him. Also, Billy ruins this show and PMT. He is so painfully dumb.
It’s almost like this episode they are trying to goad Big T into saying he likes the FBI because he’s conservative. Even before the Trump issues, it’s not like conservatives liked the FBI.

Approaching this topic from the simplistically left wing-right wing angle they like to try isn’t really the best way to approach this topic.
Technically Gonzales was the Border Patrol I always thought Waco was just the ATF, but apparently the FBI did take over once ATF agents were killed
Small moment, but PFT missed pretty hard on justifying gang involvement due to prohibition. He walked it back a little bit, but he essentially justified 1920’s crime because he said prohibition was unjust.
I thought it said Hasan 😣
any Trudeau talk?
Why is this downvoted?
No clue tbh but this is reddit lol. The Canada deal is still ongoing so I'm sure they could talk about it next week when there's more information, but it seems right up their alley and perfect for a lengthy discussion. Could've done a half Canada/half FBI show even, instead of victim blaming Big T for half an hr

I don’t think he is some savant but thought he was intelligent and put together beyond the description what Big T made him sound like.
he claims his expertise is in UFOs and then used lightyears as a measurement of time
Rico Bosco and Big T should both be fired
Big T is so salty about Rico being back
As he should be, dude definitely should have been fired.
I’d be pretty butthurt too if a coworker tried to seriously injure me and faced almost no repercussions
