Hey Macrodosing listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad free on Amazon Music. Was Tucker Carlson's new take that he unleashed?

**Big T** (0:13)
I love the take.

**PFT Commenter** (0:14)
Yeah, it's a great take. And as far as takes go, he's still out there doing his thing.

**Dante** (0:17)
I'm wondering which one you're referring to, and if I know about it.

**Big T** (0:21)
I didn't know there were multiple.

**PFT Commenter** (0:22)
There's multiple good takes from Tucker recently.

**Dante** (0:24)
He's been-

**Big T** (0:25)
The nukes.

**Dante** (0:26)
What about?

**Big T** (0:27)
Oh, so you don't know about the nukes?

**Dante** (0:29)
Not being real?

**Big T** (0:31)
No, that they weren't made by humans.

**Dante** (0:33)
Oh, miss this one. Enlighten me. Fill us in.

**PFT Commenter** (0:50)
Welcome back to Macrodosing. It is Thursday, it is August 20th, and we're back in studio. We got Dante the Don joining us today.

**Dante** (0:59)
Yo, yo.

**PFT Commenter** (1:00)
Hammer Don.

**Dante** (1:02)
Thanks, guys.

**PFT Commenter** (1:02)
Anybody ever called you that, like a nickname?

**Dante** (1:04)
No, I kind of like it, though.

**PFT Commenter** (1:05)
Hammer Don.

**Dante** (1:06)
Got a good ring.

**PFT Commenter** (1:07)
Yeah, you try it. Let's say it together. One, two, three.

**Big T** (1:10)
Hammer Don.

**PFT Commenter** (1:11)
That's what they're calling you.

**Arian Foster** (1:12)
Nice.

**PFT Commenter** (1:13)
That's pretty good.

**Dante** (1:13)
Let's make that sick.

**PFT Commenter** (1:15)
Arian, have you got a chance to listen to any new music recently?

**Arian Foster** (1:21)
I have.

**Big T** (1:22)
I mean, maybe.

**Arian Foster** (1:23)
I don't know.

**Big T** (1:24)
Why?

**PFT Commenter** (1:25)
There's a new album that came out. I was wondering if you had any critiques of it.

**Arian Foster** (1:28)
I haven't. What new album?

**PFT Commenter** (1:31)
Pat McAfee album.

**Arian Foster** (1:33)
I have not spun it. It's good.

**PFT Commenter** (1:35)
What is it called? The Diary of a Polarizing Figure?

**Big T** (1:37)
I believe that's correct.

**Arian Foster** (1:39)
He's pretty polarizing.

**PFT Commenter** (1:41)
Very polarizing.

**Big T** (1:42)
Yeah. Is he though?

**PFT Commenter** (1:44)
Not really. I don't think. Well, I know some people don't like him.

**Big T** (1:47)
I think that is fair.

**PFT Commenter** (1:48)
Yeah, it is.

**Big T** (1:49)
I think he's polarizing.

**PFT Commenter** (1:50)
I think he's also.

**Dante** (1:51)
Come on. Donald Trump is polarizing. Pat McAfee is not polarizing.

**Big T** (1:55)
You don't think there's plenty of people that don't like Pat McAfee? Do you have the reception to his album you don't think is indicative of that? I think there are plenty of people that do not like Pat McAfee.

**PFT Commenter** (2:06)
You could also have a positive or negative response to his album just based on the music.

**Big T** (2:11)
But I think, generally, he has a very large audience.

**Arian Foster** (2:14)
Polarizing is an adjective and verb form of polarizing. It often describes something that causes people to split into two strong opposing groups.
I wouldn't categorize Pat McAfee as... It's like, you either like fuck with him or you're kind of indifferent. I don't know anybody that's like, yo, fuck Pat McAfee. No, I'm against it. I know him, so it's like, you've always been cool with me. I don't have no problems with him.

**Big T** (2:37)
I don't know that there's anyone that hates him personally, but I think the proliferation of Pat McAfee across every medium I think is something that a lot of people dislike.

**PFT Commenter** (2:48)
Yeah, I think people are, there are some people that don't like the fact that he's everywhere, but I think that those voices are amplified online to a point where they're very, very small percentage as opposed to like in real life.

**Arian Foster** (2:59)
I don't think he's polarized.

**PFT Commenter** (3:00)
That could be true, but I think he got to like it because he amplifies a lot of those too. Like that's, you know, obviously if you're Pat and you've got people coming after you feel the need to defend yourself sometimes, he feels the need so much that he definitely like gives amplification to the people that don't like him. He made a whole album about him.

**Arian Foster** (3:20)
Oh, this is the, this is the Fuck My Haters Out album?

**PFT Commenter** (3:23)
Pretty much, yeah.

**Arian Foster** (3:25)
Pete, I'm going to put it on in the background while we...

**PFT Commenter** (3:28)
There you go.
But we got Dante the Don joining us, making his much anticipated return to the show. And we also have FOIA Ball joining us in a little bit. Check out the Twitter account, FOIA Ball. Very interesting follow to talk to us a little bit about flock cameras. And Dante wanted, you texted me a couple weeks ago. Yeah. That you wanted to do an episode on the flock camera.
