Your next thing says NFL WAGs or a PsyOp, what is a WAG?

**PFT Commenter** (0:13)
Yeah, did you see that? Whoa, whoa, come on, you know what a WAG is.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:19)
I don't know what a WAG is, man.

**PFT Commenter** (0:20)
He's doing a bit.

**Arian Foster** (0:22)
I don't do-

**PFT Commenter** (0:23)
You were in locker rooms for-

**Arian Foster** (0:25)
Oh, I'm 40 years old.

**PFT Commenter** (0:27)
A decade, you don't know what a WAG is?

**Arian Foster** (0:29)
If you tell me.

**PFT Commenter** (0:30)
Wives and girlfriends.
What?
If you've been sitting on a business idea, Shopify makes it easy to make it happen. Everything you need to start selling is included and ready from day one, including the moment your first customer is ready to pay. Shopify checkout helps more of them finish their purchase and when they come back, their details are already saved. One tap and they're done. I love that. I hate when I go to a place and they don't have Shopify and I have to put in all my stuff. I can't stand it. If I go to a business and they have Shopify, I'm way more likely to buy whatever it is. Because Shopify handles the setup and checkout, your listener has more time to focus on growing their business and the tools to do it. Shopify powers millions of businesses worldwide from household names like Mattel and Gymshark to small businesses just getting started. With Shopify, nothing stands between your idea and a real business, so go make it one. Start your free trial at shopify.com/dose. Start your free trial today at shopify.com/dose.

**Arian Foster** (1:43)
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Dems and deys, Zs and Zers, hims and hers.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:51)
This is Macro, Dose, no, it's Nanodosing, Nanodosing.

**Arian Foster** (1:56)
Light work, PFT is out. What is he doing?

**PFT Commenter** (2:02)
At doctor's appointment that he forgot about.

**Arian Foster** (2:06)
We call it cap.

**PFT Commenter** (2:08)
No, I believe he forgot about it. It was just we finished a great interview this morning that will come out next week that I think PFT really would have wanted to be here for. Sad, it's a shame.

**Arian Foster** (2:19)
Sad, very sad. But here's where the show goes on, baby.
We got me, Big T, Mac and Maddie on the 1s and 2s. How's everybody's weekend, man?

**Maddie** (2:31)
Good. Hot and humid.

**Arian Foster** (2:36)
Says the Chicago Nights, Chicagoites, Chicagoans. What are y'all called?

**PFT Commenter** (2:42)
I think Chicagoans, yeah. Although don't ever, I'm not that.

**Arian Foster** (2:50)
You're a Georgian.

**PFT Commenter** (2:52)
Well, no, I don't identify as that either.

**Maddie** (2:55)
Tennessean?

**PFT Commenter** (2:56)
I'm just tea, man.

**Arian Foster** (2:57)
You ain't no Tennessean, you're from Georgia.

**PFT Commenter** (2:59)
I grew up in Georgia, yeah.

**Arian Foster** (3:01)
Yeah, so why would you not be a Georgian?

**PFT Commenter** (3:03)
I more recently lived in Tennessee.
I'm not trying to claim Tennessee now. I lived in Georgia from birth until I was 13, then I lived in Tennessee from 13 to 22, and then New York, and then here. It's been all downhill.

**Arian Foster** (3:21)
You lived in Tennessee from 13? I did not know this.

**PFT Commenter** (3:24)
Age of 13 to the age of 22, yeah.

**Arian Foster** (3:28)
Yes, well, I thought, wow, well, yeah, you could claim it then.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:32)
Yeah, you could claim it then.

**PFT Commenter** (3:34)
Yeah, I moved in eighth grade. Worst time you could possibly move states. Oh, 100 percent.

**Arian Foster** (3:41)
No, I moved when I was 14

**PFT Commenter** (3:45)
I mean, that's around the same. But like, so you were at a freshman?

**Arian Foster** (3:50)
Sophomore. I was younger. I was younger, though.

**PFT Commenter** (3:54)
I think by the time you're a sophomore, like you're a little bit older. It's a little like eighth grade is like the clickiest, like worst time to be a new kid at a school ever.

**Arian Foster** (4:07)
I can't picture you being clicky, though.

**PFT Commenter** (4:09)
No, that's what I'm saying. Like you move and everybody, you know, they've all known their friends for 13 years and then you show up.

**Arian Foster** (4:17)
I remember when I first got to, I moved from New Mexico to San Diego, hella culture shock. Well, not too much.

**SPEAKER_5** (4:23)
It wasn't too bad.

**Arian Foster** (4:24)
The bigger culture shock was San Diego to Tennessee. But when I first moved to San Diego, I ain't know nobody. And when I don't know nobody, I just, I don't really care.
