Andrew Santino In Studio, Week 2 Picks And Preview, Packers Dominate The Commanders + Fyre Fest Of The Week

13:48Big Cat:Shout out to the people at Lambeau that were wearing the white out cheese heads that they got specifically for this game or for their wedding. If you're a bride, you can wear that. That's a nice formal piece of headgear that you can rock.

13:58PFT Commenter:Oh, that definitely is getting worn at weddings in Wisconsin. Also, shout out the big strong guy who hit the vape. Amazon, though, fucked up. You got to let us see the fat cloud. There was a Packers fan in the third quarter where he's got his shirt off. He's muscle-bound. He must have hit his vape for a solid seven seconds, and they cut away right before he gave us the cloud. Yeah, it was a big rip, huge taste. We needed to see that fat cloud.

14:23Big Cat:And I've seen a lot of this discourse online tonight that the commanders are fraudulent. I don't think that they're frauds. Because to be a fraud, you have to act like you're the best team. You have to be acting that way that you can beat anybody and then get embarrassed, get exposed.

14:39PFT Commenter:Well, they could be frauds in the fact that last year could have been a fluke. I don't think that there are frauds. I don't think that, but that's what I think people are trying to argue.

14:49Big Cat:If you think they're frauds, you think that the people that were saying that they're going to win the Super Bowl, those are the ones that are committing fraud. In the housing bubble, you didn't get mad at the foreclosed apartments. Right, but you got mad at the people that were buying and selling them.

15:02PFT Commenter:Right, but you get what I'm saying. Like, last year they had an incredible year. If they miss the playoffs this year, there will be the discourse that last year was an anomaly of a fluke. I'm not saying that. It was a fun anomaly. I would be. Of course. Hank would be. Hank would definitely be. But that's where I think the angle. I don't think it's about this year. I think it's about last year into this year.

15:23Big Cat:I'm also just deep in my feelings right now. Yeah, of course. This is the beauty of recording, right? Hank, are you flipping back on your take that you think the Patriots will be better than the Commanders this year?

15:33PFT Commenter:Did I ever un-reverse that? Yeah, you did reverse it. You reversed it. Literally after week one. On Sunday night. On Sunday night, we did the haves and have-nots thing. Hank's gaslighting. I'm not giving up on the Patriots. It's a long season. They could definitely be better than the Commanders. You guys did the have-have-nots things. I didn't rank the teams I thought the Patriots would be. You said? I think you did rank. You literally said. I think you did rank. You said you're going to be better than me. Sid, he's a big cat. He's a big cat, yeah. So, yeah, I might be taking that back.

16:07PFT Commenter:I think the competitors will be fine. I think the Packers are really good. It's hard to go on Thursday night football early in the season. And they played as bad as you could play. That was not a competitive game. That game, America should not have been exposed to that game. Yeah. It was bad. I was juiced up for this matchup. I was pumped up, and it just didn't happen. Yep.

16:32Big Cat:Also, shout out Matt Gay. I've always said, if you're a kicker and your name is Gay, you have to be super mentally tough. Boy named Sue situation? Boy named Sue, yeah. Imagine all the shit you had to go through to be this successful at life. I think he'll be okay. He had one doink, but having two doinks back to back was crazy.

16:55PFT Commenter:Yeah, because if your name is Matt Gay, you could just not play sports. Instead, you're like, I'm going to go play the toughest sport and be the kicker. Be the wimpiest position in the toughest sport. I'm going to go stand in the fucking locker room.

17:06Big Cat:You've got to have a beast diesel of a mind to pull that off.

17:09PFT Commenter:Yeah.

17:10Big Cat:In conclusion, stop saying Jane Daniels is a little bro ass. Who said that? There's people saying a little bro ass. A little bro ass? Yeah, I got several little bro asses. Is he a little bro ass of the week? No.

17:24PFT Commenter:I mean, he is right now of week two.

17:26Big Cat:Monday Night Football. I think Caleb. No, week two. Of week two. I said of week two. No, we have to wait until week two. No, but as of right now, little bro ass of week two. If the week ended right now. Yeah. Yeah, Jaden would be little bro ass. You almost said Caleb again. I just searched Twitter, little bro ass, and the first thing that comes up is PFT commenter.

17:49PFT Commenter:Little bro ass. I don't know. That might be. yeah that's my brand might be a coincidence but like there's i don't know why you would come up

17:57Big Cat:when it's because little bro ass people are tweeting people are tweeting little bro ass oh so that's the algorithm just the algorithm got people are saying at pft commenter little bro ass yeah so it okay so that's that's that's a tough phrase to just be connected to your handle though i guess a lot of little bro asses yeah that's what i'm saying like unfortunately we've it's

18:21PFT Commenter:like when memes gave us the the Aaron Rodgers stat after a Thursday night football game only have one game if you had to do the little bro ass of the week there's going to be more little bro ass he played little bro ass ish tonight yeah he was a little bro ass adjacent tonight little bro ass curious but there's going to be worse there's going to be more little bro ass performance oh yeah for sure but that's that's the he doesn't have the biggest little bro ass of the of week two I'll say that well right now he does well yeah yeah right now right now there's going to be more yeah there will be a bigger little bro ass mac jones place this weekend that's a good point yeah jones or spencer rattler yeah no listen i that's the price that i pay for being

18:58Big Cat:the little bro ass guy is you live by the little bro and you die by the little and playing on

19:02PFT Commenter:thursday night football and playing that's the hard part yeah man in the arena little bro ass in the arena yeah uh okay uh yeah a lot of little bro asses yeah a lot of little that's okay what was the meanest thing they were saying about jaden daniels little bro ass as that was the

19:17Big Cat:meanest thing can you get worse than that i don't know i saw i saw a couple comments saying like bust how can you say but that's fine again i i wouldn't trade i don't think that there's a player in the nfl that i would trade for jayden right now yeah he played 18 games that were phenomenal then he

19:37PFT Commenter:had a bad game he has the if you do the 18 games first you get a couple bad games yeah he had a

19:42Big Cat:bad game i think that's fair but he he wasn't the main problem tonight there were a lot of problems who rank the problems uh the offensive line okay was a was a bad problem uh the past defense was a worse problem okay what's your panic meter at of sophomore slump not so one to ten not zero i answered not zero my answer is not you could just say zero i'm not worried you should say zero zero not i'm not that sounds like but the fact that you're not putting a number sounds like it might not be zero i am not worried zero so that'd be zero that'd be zero i'm not even acknowledging the meter so zero i'm not i'm not saying i gave you a range it's not like i was like i'm not I'm just not I'm not gonna How about that Okay That makes me more worried No That you won't just Because I explicitly said That I wasn't worried But there's I gave you an option To say you're not worried And you're still not Taking that option I already said that I wasn't worried By saying zero Max is inventing A new Form of measurement A new system of measurement Then asking me to jump Into his brain And figure out Well you said one to ten One to ten No, you said zero to...

21:02Big Cat:No, I said one to ten and I even gave you zero.

21:04PFT Commenter:Yeah, zero would be not. I said not. Yeah, that would be zero, so you gotta just say zero.

21:09Big Cat:You could say zero. I'm not playing the game. Three.

21:20Hank, what is your meter of thinking that it could be a sophomore slump?

21:26Big Cat:Seven? Whoa, seven's too high. I wasn't even gonna say seven. How would you define? Where does... How do we know if he's in a sophomore slump?

21:36PFT Commenter:No playoffs. Seven wins. Yeah. But you're a seven out of ten that it's going to be a sophomore slump? I'm a game-by-game guy, and he looked horrible tonight.

21:47Big Cat:You are a game-by-game guy. That's what we say. Your schedule's not that hard, PFT, too. I was looking at it. It's not easy. Last year was easy. We got to get back to playing against first overall picks. That's where Jaden truly shines.

22:02PFT Commenter:Oh, yeah, the rankings.

22:06Big Cat:So we got... That hard? The good news is we've got a mini-buy, and then the Raiders... Raiders who are on short rest. On a short rest. Yeah.

22:12PFT Commenter:You're going to dominate them.

22:14Big Cat:That's a must win. If we don't beat the Raiders at home, then I will acknowledge Max's scale, and I will give a truthful answer as opposed to... It can still be zero, but you'll acknowledge it. I'll acknowledge it, and I'll give a truthful answer as opposed to deflecting, which I would never do. Never. But I also won't do that next week, which I'm also not doing now. Correct. It's pretty easy stuff to follow. That's fair. No, that's fair. Very much on the same page. Yeah. I'm happy we had this discussion. By the way, Dan Quinn, rack.

Chinese Chinese, all on Uber Eats when football makes you hungry, you get game day deals all season long only on Uber Eats okay boys, week two in the NFL and I know we've given this speech many times before, but I'll just say it again it's bullshit that we only have three games in the afternoon and two of those games start at 3.05 Central, 4.05 Eastern and then there is one single game at that 325-425 spot.

25:23PFT Commenter:NFL, you sons of bitches, I love you so much, but stop doing this to us. At least we get two Monday night games, right? Yes, we do. That's good. We do, but it's just give us. There's so many early games. Are there nine? Yeah.

25:38Big Cat:Nine early games? All right, so which one are we relegating?

25:42PFT Commenter:We are going to relegate. There's some good games. I know there are. There's a lot of good games. I don't know which one we would run. 49ers, Saints? Yeah, maybe. All right, well, let's talk about it. We'll pick one to relegate, or maybe we'll do a quad box. We can do one of the TVs in the quad box. But, yeah, this is NFL. Just give us 7 and 5. That's all I ask. 7 and 5. Make it perfect. Make everybody's day a little bit better. Because this is the problem is that in the afternoon slate, if two of those games are bad, it's like, all right, now you're stuck with the game.

26:20Big Cat:Yeah, it's not that hard. I don't know why they don't do it. Because the Sundays where it's evenly split, everybody enjoys it better, right? Yeah. So why don't they just do that all the time? Just do what we like. Please. But they don't like doing that. Adam Silver would do it. They don't like doing what we like. Yeah. Which I respect the NFL for. Yeah. They treat me like dirt. I stick to them like mud. Yeah, I don't respect the NBA. Yeah. Just because Adam Silver will do whatever we say. I get whatever I want. Yeah. The NBA is my hoe.

26:47PFT Commenter:Yeah. Big time. I can tell the NBA, I can just walk up to the NBA, like, stop punching yourself, NBA.

26:52Big Cat:Yeah.

26:53PFT Commenter:I am the NFL's bitch. Yeah. All right. I have a theme for this week, Hank. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Dogs. There's too many. There's too many dogs. My big, and obviously we're not the best gamblers here, but week two always feels like the get even week, where it's teams that you're never as bad as you look, and you're never as good as you look. Mm-hmm. So figure out the teams that, hey, this team. One or two teams are. One or two teams are. But, for example, here's a little historical angle for you. Week two road dogs off a double-digit loss are hitting at 65 % since 2005. That's the Giants and the Panthers.

27:37PFT Commenter:That's gross. The Giants and Panthers looked gross. Very bad. Hold your nose. Take those teams. That kind of game. game also every single game on Sunday last week week one went under everyone's gonna be like oh maybe it's just an under year I think it might be go over just gotta reverse whatever you got

27:56Big Cat:I got a question for you Hank is one of those teams that uh maybe look bad but are bad are they the Dolphins I think it's the look bad are they bad bowl yeah I think the Dolphins Patriots are that game yeah I didn't know if that was one of the ones you were would you ever put the Dolphins in your hungry dog parlay?

28:14PFT Commenter:Not this week, no. In the future, possibly, but... I mean, obviously, they're playing the Patriots. I also think they are one of those teams that are that bad. Yeah. We're going to find out. It's also a big revenge week. Huge revenge. We have two matchups with national championship revenges. So let's actually just hop into it. Let's start with one of them. Jaguars at Bengals. Bengals minus 3.5, over under 48.5. We were at this national championship game. I remember parts of it. Yep. Travis Hunter's going to play more defensive snaps this week. The Bengals won finally in week one, but they didn't look good.

28:53Big Cat:Now, when it comes to Travis Hunter's workload, how much more time does he have to spend that he has to do both offense and defense? Is he working a job and a half now? I think so. What's on Hunter's laptop is what I'm asking. Yeah, he's just going as hard as he can. Show us. Yeah. Fun fact, the Bengals have not been 2-0 since 2018. Wow. Other fun fact, the Jaguars haven't been 2-0 since 2018.

29:17PFT Commenter:Wow.

29:18Big Cat:Something's got to give. Something's got to give.

29:22PFT Commenter:Do we think? I think the Jaguars are going to be in this game. I do. I think that the Bengals looked really, really bad against the Browns. Offensively especially.

29:32Big Cat:Offensively really, really bad against the Browns. Defensively okay. They looked okay. They got a couple of interceptions that were pretty lucky that bounced off Brown's players. But I think what they only had seven yards of offense in the second half. Yeah, that's tough to do with that Bengals offense.

29:46PFT Commenter:It's it. It is week two. It's early. We don't really know what any of these teams fully are. So I just looked at AI and a Bengal would kill a Jaguar like 100 out of 100 times. Really? Yeah.

30:01Big Cat:Yeah. Tiger. Tigers are the real king.

30:04PFT Commenter:So a jaguar does have one of the fiercest bites in the animal kingdom. The problem is the Bengal outweighs the jaguar by 200 pounds.

30:17Big Cat:Yeah, it's a pretty significant weight. I actually think that the Bengal could beat up any cat. Probably.

30:22PFT Commenter:Including a lion. So a jaguar has a skull-crushing bite, exceptionally strong for its size, but not strong enough to overcome the tiger, or for the larger, thicker skull of a tiger. A Jaguar's best chance would be to land a decisive bite to the Jaguar's neck or skull in an ambush. Also, so basically that's trick plays. M. Cohen's got to go with trick plays. The Jaguars have to come from behind. They have to come from behind and they have to trick them. Have you ever heard a cat fight? Yeah.

30:49Big Cat:The sound it makes? Yeah. This might be a really ugly game to watch or listen to. Anika and Ella.

30:56PFT Commenter:the uh this is gonna be i i feel like whoever walks away 2-0 i'm like oh man now watch out

31:05Big Cat:yeah uh we overreact yeah we do over again all the bangles have to do is just they can play bad again if they just somehow figure out a way to win that's all they need to do in september because i i'm convinced that their offense is going to be great like it was last year eventually So they need to use all their luck now is what I'm saying.

31:22PFT Commenter:I don't know. Their offensive line is not good. That's the only thing that would make me nervous. I mean, Joe Burrow got his ass kicked. Gruden was here today, and he was just ranting about how someone on the Bengals' offensive line, he was like, I was doing TikToks with him a month ago in an airport. He wasn't on a roster. So they're kind of putting it together. Okay. Yeah, I'm excited for this game. This game will get a main TV.

31:47Big Cat:Yeah. There's also a big uniform weekend for the NFL. So the Bengals are doing their open and orange uniform thing. And it's a combination they've only worn once before. Let me see these.

31:59PFT Commenter:Let me see these Bengals.

32:00Big Cat:What is it called? Open and orange. Open and orange? Open in orange. In orange. Yeah.

32:06PFT Commenter:That's not what it is. Oh. That's it. It's orange.

32:10Big Cat:It's orange. And I think it's the white pants. I like those a lot. And the orange socks. Those are clean.

32:15PFT Commenter:but those are kind of primetime uniforms they are but i think you can use you can use a primetime

32:20Big Cat:uniform against the jaguars yeah i think that's always fine yeah okay uh next up giants at cowboys

32:27PFT Commenter:cowboys minus four and a half over under 44 and a half here's how the russell wilson situation is going the new york times had a uh new york times athletic had an article uh titled russell wilson deserves everyone's respect on his way out the giant's door okay so like applaud him when he leaves the field it was basically an entire article being like he's a he was an underdog he's an undersized quarterback he won a super bowl he had an incredible career we need to give him the grace when he uh gets benched which is going to happen because he sucks now that this

33:02Big Cat:is exactly my thought process when i had to put leroy down that's what i'm going for yeah that's what we're going for right here it's like treat him kindly walk him to the sideline give him a little treat steak have let him have his favorite meal uh whisper in his ear saying let's ride yeah and and maybe go to jamis put a little buffer in there before you get the new puppy yep before you get like somebody to replace him that's going to go out and be your long-term guy in dart although dart at some point they're going to put dart in the game i don't think that it's going to be a clean benching for russell will so i've thought more about it because my prediction was that Dart gets in against the Chargers.

33:35Big Cat:That would be his first start. But I don't know if it's going to be a clean benching. I think they might do the Dart packages, and they might slowly incorporate Dart into the games.

33:45PFT Commenter:Is it crazy to think that maybe they just wait until Andrew Thomas is back?

33:49Big Cat:No, that's not crazy.

33:51PFT Commenter:Because that feels like it's almost like if Andrew Thomas could play this week, maybe Dart would play. They just want their left tackle back, and then they would potentially put in it. Because we looked at the schedule. they don't have easy games. No, they don't. The only easy game they have is at New Orleans, and that might not be an easy game because they might both be bad.

34:09Big Cat:And it's on the road, yeah.

34:10PFT Commenter:I do think that they're – I'm going to ride the Giants one more time, one more week of just being like this defense can keep them in games and maybe Russell Wilson can do enough. And if they burn me here, I'm out until dark place.

34:22Big Cat:I actually think that Dak is going to have another big game. He didn't have that big of a game. Well, he did not have statistically a big game, but he looked good. and there were a few drops in there that of course would have added to his yardage total i think dac's gonna play he always plays good against the giants yeah always yeah he does i

34:40PFT Commenter:actually think like dac what's the streak i think he's won a million in a row 2016 that's that's a lot that's a lot in a row i know he's been injured a little but yeah that's a lot that's a lot he

34:51Big Cat:beats the giants he does he that's what he does i i'm gonna go with dac again i actually think 13 game winning streak against the new york giants like we we might be wrong about dac this year Would we rank him 17th best?

35:02PFT Commenter:Yeah.

35:03Big Cat:No, I think he's lower. I think we ended up with like 24. I think Dak could sniff around the top 10. Sniff. He could sniff. Now, he does need to get Pickens involved because if he doesn't, that's going to blow up.

35:16PFT Commenter:George Pickens, though, maybe taking a more mature route, said he's focused on just staying open for Dak. I'm not really worried about the touches, catches, all that stuff. I'm just trying to stay open for the team. I'm trying to focus on the first win.

35:30Big Cat:That's good. He rehearsed that in the mirror like nine times before he sent it to the press.

35:34PFT Commenter:He's like, you could do this. Is the Giants one of your hungry dogs? No. Oh. I think the Cowboys are solid. Stop us when we get to a hungry dog. We're about to dive in. We're about to get to the hungry dogs? Yeah. Bears at Lions? Yep. Yeah, I think so too. I've come. So Bears at Lions, Lions minus six over under a 46 and a half. I've gone through the whole process. Is this a revenge game?

36:02PFT Commenter:for which side? Ben Johnson. I think it would be more revenge for Dan Campbell. Yeah, because he took some coaches. And Ben Johnson left. This feels like a revenge game. This feels like a game where it means a little more. I think it does mean a lot to Ben Johnson. Oh, for sure. Well, you got to win. You got to start winning. So I've gone through the whole process of the week, and obviously I was down on Tuesday after the game. I still stand by the fact that I think Caleb needs to start playing better showing improvements Kurt Warner did a whole thing where he's like he was actually like great I don't because I maybe I'm just so dumb but like I talked to Prisco I talked to Gruden I saw Kurt Warner they all have just differing opinions on the tape which I don't really understand what did Gruden say Gruden said that it's not it doesn't look great I feel like you gotta trust Gruden I know, and Prisco said that Prisco was like, which is something that I thought with my eyes, it's not like he's playing bad.

37:01PFT Commenter:It's that the feel of the game is not there, like the hitting open receivers before they're open kind of stuff.

37:08Big Cat:And he's doing the thing where he's talking about how good he was at those throws in practice. Right. He's like, I made those all week. I have a little bit of inside information. It's probably better than actually talking to John Gruden or to Pete Prisco or Kurt Warner. Ran into a guy at the bank who is a big Bears fan. And I was wearing my commander's hat. And he said, fuck you. And then he said, I was like, that's a weird thing for a teller at the bank to be telling me. But then he goes, actually, I'm not mad at you. I'm just upset with how Monday Night Football went. I said, I hear that. And he told me his problem with Caleb Williams.

37:39Big Cat:Okay. His problem is that Caleb Williams is now processing things too fast. Oh. Too fast. Last year, he wasn't processing fast enough. He was taking a lot of sacks. This year, Ben Johnson's drilled it into him so much. you got to get through your reads and then you got to decide to check down or get out of the pocket he's going he's like skipping reads two three just to get to the decision of whether or not

38:04PFT Commenter:to scramble or throw so that's not processing too fast it's not processing well it's uh it's

38:09Big Cat:better than taking a sack it is right so that still is a processing he's like so he's he's going too fast through his reads so we need to just slow down on reads two and three now and

38:19PFT Commenter:And by the way, Caleb Williams did say he kind of agreed with the assessment that he needs to have a better feel for the game because he said the overthrows or the misthrows are his decisiveness. Like when his decisiveness loses – he said decisiveness always wins when you start being hesitant and things like that. You start missing passes, easy passes that you feel that you don't typically miss. That's what he said. So he's kind of holding – and I like Ben Johnson a lot because he takes accountability. He literally on Tuesday morning did a press conference. He's like, yeah, I fucked up. I shouldn't have.

38:52PFT Commenter:I don't know why Cairo told me that he could get out of the end zone. Yeah. I likened it to when I was on vacation last year and my three-year-old said that she could swim. And I knew she couldn't swim. And I was just like, all right, jump in. And she jumped in. She went right to the bottom. I picked her up. Ben Johnson needs to know, hey, Cairo's going to tell you he can swim. He can't swim.

39:13Big Cat:He can't kick it out of the end zone. When Zach tells Travis Pastrana, I can do a backflip. Yes. Travis has to watch him run and be like, I don't think the backflip's for you today. We're canceling the backflip. Let's go barrel roll instead.

39:23PFT Commenter:But I am, so I'm all the way through the roller coaster of emotions this week. I do think the Bears can win this game. I think they definitely can cover. I think the Lions' problems are less about the, I think the coordinator stuff is overrated. I think the interior offensive line is underrated when it comes to the Lions' issues.

39:41Big Cat:Yeah, because Jared Goff, he likes the play action. He likes having his back to the line of scrimmage. And when he turns around, if there's like three dudes that are coming in his face, that's hard to get. That's a lot of dudes. That's too many dudes to wipe off.

39:52PFT Commenter:And that's what the Lions have done the last two years. They've beaten teams with just absolute maulers up front.

39:58Big Cat:Yeah. Are you concerned at all that this is a Dan Campbell, we're going to win this game game? Of course. He says. How could I not be? He says, we're going to win this game. That's what Dan Campbell said. And then he said, we have to. Oh. It's a half to win for the Lions. Yeah, that makes me very nervous. Yeah. I would be a little concerned about that.

40:17PFT Commenter:This is why the NFL is the best, though, because every other sport, there's too many games. In the NFL, are you overreacting in week two? If you're 0-1 and you say you have to win, maybe a little, but also not. You know what I mean? The loser of this game is going to feel really bad about their season come Monday morning. And that's the best part about the NFL is every week this intensity ramps up where you're like, yeah you gotta win this game there's a must win in week two you think they're going to give ben johnson the matt stafford treatment i don't know there was a reporter who asked him about it was like why like do you feel like bad about leaving detroit no you shouldn't you shouldn't he got a

40:58Big Cat:head coaching he actually put it off for some would say too long yeah like he stuck around he was very very loyal for a long time but we all remember what happened with matt staffer and his

41:08PFT Commenter:daughters yes they booed his daughters they were just definitely 100 booing matt stafford and yeah They were definitely right next to each other as they booed Matt Stafford. Do you think the Bears can win this game? I do think the Bears can win this game. Handily. What? Handily? I don't know about handily. What is handily? Like never sweating the money line? Not never sweating the money line, but two scores in the fourth quarter.

41:36Big Cat:So the thing that Big Cat was talking about with the offensive line being out, if you watch Jameer Gibbs try to run the ball last week, it was very apparent. Yeah. It was super apparent. Like, dudes were getting to him in the backfield every time he got the ball. It was like he hardly ever got to the line of scrimmage untouched.

41:52PFT Commenter:I do think – Don't you think Ben Johnson can help game plan the defense too? Yeah, well, and here's what – Well, Dennis Allen did a pretty good job against the Vikings. But I'm saying against his former team. Like, these are his guys. I am – Part of what is making me feel better about, like, coming out the other end and being like, hey, have patience. I do think I freaked out a little bit in the fact that the Vikings are a really good team and Brian Flores is a really good coach I think the Vikings are going to end up being a playoff team, high seed team so that part is like it's not like you lost to a shitty team it might feel a little easier going up against the Lions than it is going up against a Brian Flores defense because he confuses the fuck out of everyone

42:29Big Cat:do you think that Ben Johnson is going to have one fuck you play? I hope so like a trick play that maybe he tried to install and Dan Campbell was like that's a little bit insane even for you Ben and now there's no training wheels on him anymore.

42:41PFT Commenter:I take it back. I actually don't hope so because I want to do the regular plays first.

42:46Big Cat:Okay.

42:47PFT Commenter:You got to walk before you can run.

42:48Big Cat:But you can still watch that happen and be like, I love Ben Johnson. He's the best.

42:52PFT Commenter:What if a fuck you play is just like a really well-timed 20-yard out to DJ Moore? That'd be a good play. That would be fine. We start with smaller fuck you. I don't know if that's a fuck you play.

43:04Big Cat:No, that could be. Like the play that Jared didn't want to run. What was the one where they pretended to fumble? Yeah, against the Bears. They actually let Caleb fumble in. Yeah. And everyone would believe it. And they're just like, hey, here it is. Like, it gets caught in his giant gray undershirt.

43:18PFT Commenter:I'm going to say something, too, and this is probably going to look really stupid when we do the show on Sunday night. I wouldn't mind if Caleb had a couple more interceptions. We're getting to a point now where he doesn't throw interceptions, and it feels like I'd like him to take some more shots. Okay. All right. Listen, do you not agree in theory? I think it's a little bit early for that kind of talk. Well, no. I'm going off of last year, too. Like, I saw a stat. He's, like, 11 touchdowns, one interception in his last, I think, 12 games. One in 11 or whatever it is. Just take a couple shots.

43:54PFT Commenter:Like, that hesitancy he talked about himself. Let it rip. Let it rip. Let it rip. He gets to the checkdowns too early. You got me? Do you agree? Let it rip. Let it rip.

44:04Big Cat:Who gives a fuck?

44:04PFT Commenter:Yeah, like a deep interception, if you're letting it rip, I don't want to have it be like 120 yards, but he didn't throw an interception, and it looked like it looked Monday night.

44:17Big Cat:Let it rip. Do we know if Caleb's going to go to Angel Reese's nail tech before this game? That was a one-time thing.

44:22PFT Commenter:Listen, Angel Reese got a fucking good nail tech. Why wouldn't you use the best nail tech when offered to you?

44:29Big Cat:Yeah.

44:29PFT Commenter:I mean, she's elite at me bounds. it's really that did not help the that did not help yeah uh do you think he serves it's for

44:38Big Cat:suicide prevention before you say anything which is great thank you it has not worked well on you thank you uh but yeah big cat has dropped like four i'm gonna off myself since last week going back to like when his ear was plugged up yeah this actually came out this came at a great time for yeah he went on the news and i threatened to kill myself set it on the news uh it was my ear was was killing me it just seemed like when when it came out that it was angel reese's nail tech that seemed

45:03PFT Commenter:like twisting the knife a little bit it was it was like hey how can we make this even funnier yeah how could we make it they were great nails how can we make sure that people get thousands of

45:12Big Cat:retweets i gotta say the nails judging off of just pure nail artistry they're well done dude i loved

45:18PFT Commenter:it that fucking lime green one oh it's awesome yeah all right uh yeah we'll see what the lines are. The Lions could easily just kill the Bears and look like the Lions last year and they're off and running. But it does feel especially cruel. I hate the back-to-back division games to start the season. I do too. One of these teams is going to be 0-2 in the division to start the season. Didn't matter for the Packers last year. That feels like a big, big hole.

45:45Big Cat:I don't know if they started against, but they went 1-7 or 1-5 in the division last year? Yeah, they didn't start that way.

45:52PFT Commenter:Yeah, they did. They went 1-5 in the division, but that was also So they also then finished third in the division. Okay, next up, Hank, can I interest you in Tennessee Titans plus five and a half? Yep. Over under 41 and a half. Rams at the Titans, I agree. I think the Titans are frisky. Frisky teams cover spreads. They don't win games. They cover spreads, though. The Titans' defense is good. The Rams' offense is going to take a little time to really get going with Matthew Stafford missing training camp. if the Titans could just not have a million penalties and also coaching blunders, including when to challenge plays and when not to, knowing the rules.

46:34Big Cat:We have an update on that, by the way. Okay. So after the game, Callahan said he didn't – well, the way he explained his decision about the challenge was he said if you have an elbow, then you also need two feet, which is not the rule. Not the rule. And then later on this week, he was asked about that, and he said that he actually misspoke. So good news for Titans fans. even when he said the rule incorrectly he was just he was just speaking wrong it was just a prank it was just a prank he was pulling he said my interpretation of the rule was wrong i'll own it we should have challenged the play that's pretty much all i can say about it i misspoke i'm well aware of the rule i understand how it works and the way i articulated afterwards was incorrect and i understand the rules of this game pretty well so he he interpreted the rule incorrectly and also misspoke about the rule at the same time but he definitely he's been reading the rule book this week.

47:24PFT Commenter:Yeah. He's ready to go. Titans just got to clean a little bit up and they could maybe cover the spread. Their defense was awesome. Their defensive line is good. Their defense is awesome. The Rams offense did not look great. I'm a little worried about the Titans offensive line because that's not great. Cam Ward though. Eyeball test. His numbers were bad. I thought his guys can just catch the ball. Calvin Ridley.

47:49Big Cat:Yeah. Just catch the ball when it's thrown to you. Yeah. Do the Titans have the saddest history of free agent wide receivers ever hmm hmm Calvin Ridley in theory should be good right in theory in theory he's a good player yes uh if you go back and you look at the other guys that they've had I'm sure we can like Randy Moss yeah Julio Jones forgot to hit Randy Moss

48:12PFT Commenter:they they like to get guys that are way late yeah way way late uh okay Hank what about Patriots at Dolphins. Dolphins minus one and a half over under 43 and a half. Love the Patriots in this game. New uniforms. Another week in the system. McDaniels had a press conference talking about Drake May. Said he's not worried about overloading him with information. Gotta remember it's the first week in a new system. Wait, McDaniels did? Josh McDaniels. Oh, Josh McDaniels. This is confusing. Oh, sorry. Well, McDaniels. Yeah, but I always screw up the McDaniel-McDaniels thing. They're the same. And he said he's going to be a really good player, and he's the guy.

48:52PFT Commenter:I think he said verbatim he is the guy. Okay. He said that verbatim. We can find that quote. His offensive coordinator said he's the guy.

49:04Big Cat:This is huge if that's actually what he said. Yeah. He's the right guy. The right guy, but is it the right time?

49:13PFT Commenter:The right guy sounds like when you – like a girl. Yeah. Yeah. Breaks up with a hot body bad boy and then finds a nice guy. He's like, well, he's the right guy for me right now.

49:24Big Cat:Yeah, a guy that's 20 years older, has a much more established 401k. He's the right guy for me. He's the right guy. Drives a Subaru.

49:31PFT Commenter:Yeah, we'll make it work.

49:33Big Cat:Yeah. Have some kids. The right guy. It's the right thing to do. Yeah. I'm ready for that time in my life. Yeah. Yeah. She wants to get back with her ex so fast. He's the right guy. All it takes is one text. Can I have a - It takes Tim Tebow being like, you up, and McDaniels is like, I'm so up. I'm so horny right now. I'm upper than I've ever been.

49:52PFT Commenter:I got my pants off. The Patriots have never beaten Tua. Is that not crazy? Always bad against the offense, especially Miami. But they've never beaten Tua. Yeah, that's crazy. That is crazy. But counterpoint, Tua has never beaten Mike Vrabel. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, because they, what, played twice against each other? Yep. Yeah. Yeah. So I also, this game to me is as simple as Rex Ryan opened the floodgates and called Mike McDaniel McGenius and a dork and a nerd. And now I have that in my head. Like, I always knew that obviously Mike McDaniel is a smarter guy, analytical guy. but the minute a fat guy walks in and says that's a dork i listen to the fat guy it sticks in my head and now in my head it's mike vrabel versus dork i'm gonna take mike vrabel this exact scenario

50:55Big Cat:has played out in high school cafeterias across the country since the dawn of time

50:58PFT Commenter:the dork doesn't win unless the dork can figure out a way to like tie the the mike vrabel shoes together before it can be a prank yeah frank can be involved but it just feels like mike vrabel versus a dork is a mismatch.

51:11Big Cat:Well, if it was head coach Rex Ryan against Mike McDaniel, he called him a dork and a brainiac and a nerd, I would almost think that the nerd would win that game. Yeah, because he's trying too hard. But the fact that it's somebody that's just in the media being like, you dork, Mike McDaniel, he's thinking about that all week. Even when he's not thinking about it, he's walking more like a nerd. He's probably polishing his glasses. I guarantee you his glasses got knocked off at some point this week. And then he felt around on the ground for him.

51:38PFT Commenter:and even god damn it he's right he maybe like walked into a glass door oh and then mike vrabel on the other side is like yeah i guess i guess i never saw it but he is a fucking dork oh yeah you know now i'm gonna stuff him in a locker you know vrabel laughed at that for sure this is some high level analysis right here folks but it i i'm not gonna lie this is how i gamble where it's like mike vrabel verse dork all right so so tua he's also had three turnovers in each of his past three

52:06Big Cat:games that he started not how many is that total not a good trend uh at least three turn i don't know if it was three oh it might be it might be more than that it's nine plus shit that ain't good nope also tyree kill is being investigated for sexual assault again also tyree kill doesn't

52:22PFT Commenter:want to be on the door or domestic assault excuse me okay wow that was really fucked up what you

52:27Big Cat:said about that's right tyree kill there for a second yeah it's well also it's in a divorce proceeding but it's in the news now so it's probably not he's probably not happy no he's

52:37PFT Commenter:not happy anyway he's never happy yeah he is not happy whatsoever it's been uh i saw a stat it's been over a year since tyreek hill has had a completion uh a reception over 30 yards that's not is that not insane because that's like the thing that he does that's what he does yeah

52:52Big Cat:he just stopped doing what he does i might be i might be low-key on tyreek's side in this in the the assault not the domestic oh okay in the 30 yard reception in the 30 yard reception should we bet him longest reception on sunday no because i think that he's it's a trend i don't think that they're going to cater to him they would have catered to him a long time ago i think

53:15PFT Commenter:they're trying to cater to him i don't think that they like i think they're going out there and the appetizer plates are empty you think so well they got the guy the the wait staff maybe can't get him the stuffed mushrooms and the bacon wrapped scallops.

53:28Big Cat:That's true.

53:29PFT Commenter:They would want to cater to them, but they don't have the ability to cater to them.

53:32Big Cat:This is also another revenge game this week. Yes. Matthew Judon.

53:36PFT Commenter:Yes. Is he going to wear the sleeves? He wore orange sleeves last week. He looked awesome.

53:43Big Cat:That's big. That's huge. I don't know what uniforms the Dolphins are wearing, but his ability to make sleeves

53:48PFT Commenter:look so cool and stand out is impressive.

53:50Big Cat:Wait, is this the rivalry week uniforms?

53:53PFT Commenter:Yeah, the Patriots are wearing the gray. Oh, really? The shipwreck jerseys or whatever. Yeah. They're cool. Wow. There was a shipwreck? Should have had a lighthouse. Something like that. Mm-hmm. Walked into that one, dude. That doesn't make sense. It's in Miami. Come on, Hank. I don't know if they're in the shipwreck. Whatever. I'll find it.

54:11Big Cat:Is it the shipwreck?

54:12PFT Commenter:I also don't think that's true.

54:14Big Cat:It's not the shipwreck uniform. They're also not wearing. Yeah. They've just tweeted two hours ago, packing the blue and silver. It's their normal uniforms. That's the next game. When they play each other again at home.

54:25PFT Commenter:Hank just swung so hard at a pitch that his pants fell down.

54:28Big Cat:Yeah, Hank. You said that to start this preview, and I looked it up, and I realized it was wrong. I thought we were just going to gloss over it. Hank, you have to. Well, they put the jerseys on sale today.

54:38PFT Commenter:That's why I thought that.

54:39Big Cat:You have to reevaluate the metrics.

54:42PFT Commenter:Just do a Callahan. You misspoke. I misspoke, yeah. You misspoke. Yeah. Kind of like when I said USF and you guys gaslit me. i want to see i think that was ai yeah that's what hank said too it was ai i just they can make so funny because i forgot it wasn't edited podcast i forgot it happened and then i woke up on wednesday morning and i just had like 15 tweets being like you said usf i was like oh okay awesome uh i was

55:08Big Cat:checked out while you were saying that i was looking something up and then hank said you said usf or you said usc and then i was like oh yeah he did i just went along with what hank said for For some reason, I didn't say anything at the time. I thought you said USA.

55:23PFT Commenter:Wait, Hank was the one who started it? I said US, and then you just said, did you say USC? So that's actually not true.

55:29Big Cat:Oh, really?

55:30PFT Commenter:Oh, so it's a triple gaslight.

55:31Big Cat:This is all AI. I didn't say anything, though, but I did think that you said it wrong because I remember when I was editing it, I was like, oh, he was right. I don't know what was going on in our heads.

55:41PFT Commenter:We got a triple gaslight off. All right, next up, 49ers and Saints. Saints plus three over under 40 and a half. I love the 49ers in this game simply because it's a revenge game. Another revenge game. It's Kyle Shanahan saying, I should have picked Mac Jones. I told you we should have picked Mac Jones. I now get to show off Mac Jones because Mac Jones is playing for Kyle Shanahan. The Mac Jones revenge game.

56:05Big Cat:Yeah. It's, again, a little bit early in the season for Mac Jones. It's too early in the calendar. It's too early for the 49ers to have this many injuries. We don't need it to happen right now. It's a toe. It's a turf toe. That's the significant one for him, right? He's got a shoulder, too, but it's the turf toe that's the concern, and that could keep him out for a while. I think it's time for the Niners to start considering a long-term backup plan besides Mac Jones.

56:35PFT Commenter:I disagree. I think Mac Jones is going to be good because Kyle Shanahan is going to coach extra hard to show that he should have. He wanted to pick. The story goes that he wanted to pick Mac Jones, and then John Lynch got involved, and it was Trey Lance. If that story's correct, and it may not be, but if it is correct, don't you think Kyle Shanahan's going to put a little extra mustard on it to be like, I'm not sleeping at all this week. I need to prove that Mac Jones was the guy, and I should have picked Mac Jones, and Mac Jones can be a really good starter in the NFL. I don't know if that's true, but I think Kyle Shan's going to try as hard as he can to make that true.

57:14Big Cat:I do think that there's some truth to last year when Matt LaFleur had to start Malik Willis. Yeah. And he just coached his dick off. Right. It was a great game plan that they had. They basically show off. They show off. Like, I can coach anyone. Except for Trey Lance. Except for Trey Lance. You cannot put that on me. Yeah, that was mean what you did to me. That's what he was saying to John Lynch. I do think that Mac Jones, Spencer Rattler, we were talking about different names for Spencer Rattler. Mack Rattler would be the best quarterback name of all time.

57:39PFT Commenter:Yeah. And Spencer Jones would be perfect to run the PR department for the Niners.

57:44Big Cat:Or just backup. That's a backup quarterback. Yeah, that is. Mack Rattler backed up by Spencer Jones. Yeah, Spencer Jones. Did they cut their kicker? They did. Jake Moody, gone. So he was 74 % on field goals. The only other kicker that was drafted in the top 100 in the last 20 years, you know who that was? Roberto Aguayo who was also cut RIP Turntel what a great turtle it was

58:12PFT Commenter:he was present for the killing of a turtle

58:13Big Cat:he was materially involved he was an accessory to the murder of a turtle and he was cut after one season too so you should never draft a kicker in the first 100 picks

58:23PFT Commenter:Eddie Pinheiro

58:25Big Cat:Sebastian Janikowski

58:26PFT Commenter:Eddie Pinheiro's there good kicker good kicker

58:34Big Cat:never witnessed a turtle murder that we know of that we know of so uh this is also the first the first time that the saints have a drafted quarterback to start a game after his rookie season for the saints since danny werfel yeah like 91 or 99 99 danny werfel i think it was 99 that he started that sounds right actually um yeah that was that was late 90s but yeah the saints just don't start their own drafted quarterbacks. Correct. They had Drew Brees there for forever. That's a big reason why. Yep.

59:07PFT Commenter:Chris Alave, let's rate if this was a shot at Spencer Rattler or not. He was talking about the hit that he took, and he said, they see me take a big hit, they take me to the tent automatically. I feel like it will be more than usual this year. He's getting profiled. But I also think he might be saying, Spencer Rattler's going to throw me some hospital passes. Here, play it. Play the audio so we can hear if he's laughing about it. Every time they see me take a big hit or something like that, I feel like they take me to the tent automatically. I feel like it's going to be more than usual this year.

59:45PFT Commenter:But I try to tell them I'm good, but they just try to check on me. Maybe that's the more than usual is just them being extra precautious or is it more than usual hospital pass?

59:54Big Cat:No, I think it's just like if they see me get hit, they think, my God, this guy's gotten hit a lot. I hope he's okay.

1:00:01PFT Commenter:But could it also be that Chris Olave is – or sorry, Spencer Rattler throws a lot of hospital passes.

1:00:05Big Cat:I think if Spencer Rattler watches this video, he might think to himself, maybe I won't try to get him killed.

1:00:12PFT Commenter:Yeah.

1:00:12Big Cat:But I don't think that's what his intention was.

1:00:14PFT Commenter:Also, just don't have Spencer Rattler throw it 46 times. What are you going to say, Max? I was going to say, who do you think gets traded first, Chris Olave or Tyreek Hill? Tyreek Hill.

1:00:25Big Cat:I hate Tyreek Hill's. Chris Olave needs to get traded too, though. He'll be a Jet. You're staking claims? Ohio State Jets. Let's just build it out. All right. Ohio State Jets. I mean, Chris Olave, he's a great player when he's playing.

1:00:42PFT Commenter:Yeah. Memes. Let's talk about the Jets. Bill's a Jets. Jets plus six and a half. Hank's shaking his head. Yeah. Hungry Dog. over under 46 and a half memes culture change love this move from aaron glenn savior gibson cut i do love this move there's a counterpoint to that shouldn't have been on the roster to begin with okay but maybe he kept him on the roster being like he's gonna fuck up then i can cut him and show everyone that i mean because so already do xavier gibson uh had the fumble that cost him the game on kickoff return. Aaron Glenn, out of here. Yep, cut him. I like that move. I do think it kind of sets it up.

1:01:26PFT Commenter:Like, hey, we're going to hold on to the rock in this building. And if there was other real accountability, Brandon Stevens wouldn't play this week. Okay. That is the big worry. After watching the All-22, the breakdowns of it. Wait, you watched the All-22? Just other people breaking down the All-22.

1:01:45Big Cat:You watched other people watch the All-22, yeah.

1:01:48PFT Commenter:We are film guys, guys in that respect.

1:01:51Big Cat:Yeah, if he wasn't the cornerback, the Jets probably won the game. Yeah, he had a very, very bad week. So he had seven targets. There were five catches, 60 yards, two scores. He also got DPI. He had 136.9 passer rating when targeted, and he fell down and dropped the game-winning interception.

1:02:12PFT Commenter:The easiest interception. Aaron Rodgers threw him the ball.

1:02:14Big Cat:That's a bad game. But I also like the move by Aaron Glenn just to be like, hey, I'm about accountability here. I need to fire somebody after one week. Who's the easiest guy that I can fire that might not come back to bite me in the ass? Yeah, and Aaron Glenn still believes in Brandon Steven, so if he believes in him, I guess I will too. It sounds like you believe in him. Yeah, I'm believing. Besides the fact that you said he should have been cut. Yeah, he should have been cut. But since he didn't cut, since he's not cut, you believe in him. Yeah, I believe in him. I respect that. I get that. Okay.

1:02:45Big Cat:The Bills now lead the league in Bill Burrs on their team. Oh. They got a second Bill Burr. So, obviously, the coach looks a little bit like Bill Burr. Yeah. And then they signed punter Cameron Johnston, who looks identical to Bill Burr. So, now they've got double. Two Bill Burrs? Two Bill Burrs on the team. I like that. So, that's some sabermatrics for you. Also, this was kind of an interesting thing because I went back. Like we said, when we were trying to avoid talking about the Bears or JMU on Wednesday.

1:03:13PFT Commenter:Yeah.

1:03:13Big Cat:We went back, we watched the fourth quarter of the Ravens-Bills. Correct. And even still, I can't describe how great Josh Allen was in that fourth quarter. It's insane. It was just unreal how easy the game was for him. And he's just making incredible throws, doing it with his feet, scrambling. It was awesome to watch. And then I looked at the stats for that game. Josh only had a 74 QBR in that game. And I thought to myself, he played perfectly, especially the second quarter. 251 yards incredible but still i would expect his qbr to be much higher than that i did a deep dive into it some of his stats in that fourth quarter actually didn't help his qbr because they came in garbage time because they were because they were down by what for 15 points 14 points and so even though the game is marked as unwinnable in espn's own metrics yeah they came back and won that's And it still didn't help his QBR.

1:04:13PFT Commenter:That's how good he was.

1:04:14Big Cat:That's how good he was.

1:04:14PFT Commenter:He was not even rating on QBR.

1:04:16Big Cat:Yeah, you got to redefine the metrics. Yeah.

1:04:18PFT Commenter:Did we ever get an answer to what happened to Scorigami? Thankfully, Jake would have maybe cried in front of us if we had, because Scorigami, like. The rumors are it's a Ravens fan. Oh. So Scorigami didn't tweet the Scorigami. Yeah. On Sunday night. Jake was trying to wake him up. He was. but imagine if Jake like we would have we would have said some mean shit about Scorigami guy

1:04:45Big Cat:so have they just been dark since then?

1:04:47PFT Commenter:no they did the

1:04:48Big Cat:they did the Monday Night Football game and they just never addressed are we sure that it was a Scorigami? I think it was this is the biggest scandal to happen to the NFL in years

1:05:00PFT Commenter:you kind of respect that though the Scorigami guy has to be a Ravens fan

1:05:06Big Cat:is the score gami just straight up a computer program though yeah but he's the one that would

1:05:11PFT Commenter:be posting it he could bring himself to post the fact that they lost i think it's a bot i should text a jake for comment on score gami guy not being it's not john boyce he doesn't run it he came up with the concept of the score gami and then this account like put in their metrics or like the tracking that's crazy you can't just not tweet it i don't even like score gami's and

1:05:33Big Cat:i was mad this is like when blooper went dark yeah well that was because max and philly ran blooper off the internet that is true i still have blooper notifications on since that really for whenever bloopers so like three times a week i just get a notification from blooper braves being like isn't big cat fat 2023 movie playoffs philly's fans bullied the braves mascot into an online meltdown at nlt that's my it's my favorite headline ever it's the best headline it's a serious headline that is CBS Sports had that headline about a fictional mascot getting bullied off the internet.

1:06:09PFT Commenter:I love it. So, Memes, you think that you guys can win this game? I think it's possible. Josh Allen's just so good. He's so good. He's playing on easy mode. I do think it's possible for the Jets. I do think it's possible. You just have to, you really have to stick to the run. Well, it's almost like run the clock out. Yeah. The Bills defense looked bad against the Ravens.

1:06:27Big Cat:And Ed Oliver is in a walking boot as of today, so that'll free up the interior. So he's not going to play? He's in a walking boot. He just didn't practice today, so I don't know. Was he listed on the injury report? Yes, as a DNP. DNP for today. Yeah, I mean, if there's one guy that you would like to be out on that defensive line, it's definitely Ed Oliver.

1:06:49PFT Commenter:Yeah, frees up the middle. And then Brees Hall also posts a wide receiver on social media, which I think is good for the offense. What do you mean he posts like a wide receiver?

1:06:59Big Cat:He was posting on his IG story comments being like,

1:07:02PFT Commenter:I heard what everybody said all offseason, like trade me. You guys don't want me anymore. So now he's just going to go off. So I like that the running back is doing that.

1:07:11Big Cat:Yeah. Okay. You need one guy. I'm still that dude. I had a crazy thought earlier. The Bills have the easiest schedule now. Undefeated? Wouldn't it be funny if the Bills went undefeated? What? And then they didn't lose in the playoffs and they won the Super Bowl? and then that would just ruin Hank's world. Undefeated? It's week one. I'm not going to overreact, but I think that the Buffalo Bills are going to go undefeated and win the Super Bowl.

1:07:35PFT Commenter:That would be an overreaction, yeah. I just think their defense will have a lot of these games. I actually think this game, like Josh Allen has not been great at MetLife, right?

1:07:47Big Cat:Past five of the six games have been one-score games.

1:07:50PFT Commenter:So six and a half here. Have you won any of those? Two out of the three. 2 out of 5. Oh yeah, that's right. Opening night. Okay. Seahawks at Steelers. Steelers minus 3 over under 39.5. Revenge game. DK. DK revenge game. Big time. I think the Steelers defense is not as bad as it showed in week 1. I think that actually memes was more about the Jets offensive line. I think the Steelers are going to win this game because I think the Seahawks might be in trouble.

1:08:25Big Cat:They didn't They did nothing exciting No Their defense was good Seahawks defense was very good Yes Sam Darnold did not look like the good Sam that we saw last year He looked like bad Sam They also kind of didn't let him try to be the good Sam Except when he was throwing the ball to JSN Yes So it's like they have one weapon right now And it looks like Hey, the Seahawks Mike could use another wide receiver to take some of the pressure off JSN Be nice if they had a guy like that Like a big, tall, strong guy Yeah, he doesn't even need to be able to turn. Just a guy, a big, tall, strong guy that can run straight, that wears a very big mouthpiece and will beat the fuck out of you.

1:09:02Big Cat:Yeah. That's the kind of guy that the Seahawks are missing right now.

1:09:05PFT Commenter:Yeah, I think the Steelers, we'll see. I think they're going to win this game. I think their defense is a little overrated how bad they were. Because they were, and this happens, like, even to the good defenses, this will happen over the course of the year, where it's like you just get into one of those games. You get in one of those shootout games that you don't know what's going to happen, and it's just kind of like the game flow gets out of control for both sides, and you end up with the 34-32 game.

1:09:33Big Cat:Yeah, this is one of those games, too, where the visiting team, I think it's very hard to find a direct flight from Seattle to Pittsburgh. Yeah. That just doesn't seem like a moneymaker for Air Alaska or whatever. No, except for this weekend. Except for this weekend. And also, point of fact, favoring the Steelers, the National Anthem is going to be performed by Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden. Love that. Pretty cool. He's the guy that Christopher Walken played in the more cowbell sketch. Yep. That's the guy. Yep. I hope he brings a cowbell. I hope he brings Christopher Walken. Yeah, actually, that would annoy the fuck out of DK if he'd bring a cowbell.

1:10:07PFT Commenter:Yeah, he did. Yeah. All right. Browns at Ravens. Ravens minus 11.5 over under 45.5. What do we think about the Ravens holding their 30th anniversary of the time they stole the franchise from Cleveland on this weekend? They are claiming that it was all predetermined before the schedule. It's kind of like the Ohio State barstool thing. I would like the Ravens to just come out and say, yeah, we're petty.

1:10:35Big Cat:We stole your fucking team. Listen, the Ravens 100 % did this on purpose. Right. Just admit it. And if they didn't do it on purpose and you see that this is the game on the schedule and you don't want to do it on a week like this, you change the week. Right. They want to do this.

1:10:50PFT Commenter:Yes.

1:10:51Big Cat:They want to be like, hey, we got your team. They stunk for you. Got your team, bitch. They're great for us. We won Super Bowls. We love them. We're making you insanely jealous in your face. It's a divisional rivalry. Yeah. And as they should, like, it's their right to do that. This is a team that you're supposed to hate.

1:11:06PFT Commenter:And we're going to make you start the quarterback that won our last Super Bowl like 12 years after he did it. Joe Flacco revenge game. Yeah. Yeah. Joe Flacco, by the way, is going for he and Matthew Stafford this week. Both have a chance to beat their 31st team. I like that. So there's only four guys who've beaten 32 teams in NFL history. You guys want to guess Tom Brady? Yep. Brett Favre? Yep. Breeze? Yep.

1:11:35Big Cat:Peyton Manning?

1:11:35PFT Commenter:Yep.

1:11:36Big Cat:Got them. Got all four. You know, football.

1:11:38PFT Commenter:That's really hard. There's also two guys currently who have beaten 31 teams that are waiting to beat their 32nd as well. Is it Matt Safford and Joe Flacco? No. No. They have 30. Oh. They're both 31. Yeah, this weekend. There's two guys with 31? Two guys stuck on 31. Right now. Did you just fart? No, that was my foot. Oh.

1:12:01Big Cat:Oh, yeah.

1:12:02PFT Commenter:Russell Wilson. Lamar? Yes. Russell Wilson's yes and Patrick Mahomes

1:12:08Big Cat:oh that son of a bitch yeah just kind of fun fact I don't know that's a fun fact but yeah they're definitely doing this on purpose yeah 100 % they're gonna have like a bunch of old yeah old Colts there to honor the Colts even though the Baltimore Ravens moved to or the Baltimore Colts moved to Indianapolis right and then the Browns moved to Baltimore they're honoring the Colts in the big anniversary celebration about the Browns moving. Yes. So try to follow that one. Yes.

1:12:39PFT Commenter:I like Jerry Judy's press conference. He did a shirtless press conference saying the Ravens have no challenges for him. And also said that the line is disrespectful. You need a little bit of crazy in your wide receiver. This was it.

1:12:54Big Cat:So what do you think about the third-string quarterback situation in Cleveland?

1:12:58PFT Commenter:I can't say I'm very much up to date with it.

1:13:01Big Cat:Okay, well, let me put you on game. it's not Shador is it Deshaun? Bailey Zappi Bailey Zappi is the third string quarterback now so Shador is not getting any he's not even really practicing with the team I think Deshaun might play this year no I think Deshaun might play this year no

1:13:21PFT Commenter:maybe in Pittsburgh no I think Deshaun's going to play this year I wish I could bet it on DraftKings I wonder if we can bet it maybe they can find a line will Deshaun Watson play a snap this year If he wanted to, do you think they'd play him? I think he wants to. I think it's the other way around. Will they play him? I think he might just show up to the facility one day being ready. I'm ready to go. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. But even if he did that, I don't think they'd play him. I think they might. Jimmy Haslam's not a smart guy. Kevin, he's a rich guy. He's a rich guy, so he thinks he's smart, but he's not smart.

1:13:52PFT Commenter:Stefanski's got enough on his hands right now. But it's not. I don't know if Stefanski is the one who gets to decide. But I think if Deshaun comes in and is like, hey, I'm ready to go. Yeah. Jimmy Haslam might be like, hey, we're paying him this money. I want to see what I got.

1:14:08Big Cat:He might. I don't know. Is there insurance policy on him? Like, is it 100 rocks? I guess it would have to be rock solid guaranteed for injury. Yeah. Otherwise, they would have tried to claim it by now. Yeah. Yeah. You know, Stefanski's never been 0-2. Oh, wow. He's been 1-1, I think, every season that he's coached.

1:14:27PFT Commenter:Okay, so the Browns are going to win. I don't know if the Browns are going to win. Do you like the Browns, Hank? Plus 11 and a half? Yeah. Now, this was, reminder, this happened last year. Exact same thing, basically, for the Ravens. They lose week one in a heartbreaking fashion. Isaiah Likely's foot too big for the end zone against Kansas City opening night. Week two, Raiders. Yep. No way they can lose this. Minshew. They were killing them in the first half, and then they lost it. Yep. Not saying it's going to happen again. Then maybe that actually speaks to the opposite of John Harbaugh basically being able to say to the guys, like, hey, we've been here before and you fucked this up before.

1:15:06PFT Commenter:Like, everyone be ready. I do think the Browns defense, though, can keep him in this game a little bit.

1:15:11Big Cat:But Lamar Jackson will not be suspended for this game. He was going to be? No. The NFL said we're not going to discipline him for this game for shoving the fan that shoved him. I think all parties involved handled it well. I think that the Bills, they got the guy at the stadium. I think he's banned from attending Bills games for the rest of the year. All NFL games. All NFL games.

1:15:32PFT Commenter:If you live in Buffalo and you're a Bills fan and they say you can't go to the games, that is like death penalty is better.

1:15:39Big Cat:That's like exiling you. Yeah. Yeah. So Lamar, I think he's like, yeah, he didn't like make it a soapbox issue where he's like, fans and players have a real problem on our hands. We need to address it. He was just like. He didn't LeBron it? No, he didn't LeBron it at all. He was just like, yeah, things got heated. Yeah. And it's fine. and we moved on and he's been addressed internally. Lamar Jackson addressed internally by the Ravens.

1:16:01PFT Commenter:We should make that a meme. Lamar Jackson's cool with a little physical contact with the fan. LeBron James gets told he stinks, gets the fan kicked out. Sick league. Sick league.

1:16:13Big Cat:Did you see what Stefanski said about Joel Betonio?

1:16:15PFT Commenter:No.

1:16:16Big Cat:Their returning offensive lineman. They asked Betonio why he came back to play this year and he's like, you know, I want to play another season for Kevin Stefanski, great coach, blah, blah, blah. Stefanski said, actually, Joel came back because we put a golf simulator in upstairs. Yeah, it's very late. I think we have a few people that just show up at the office because we have a golf simulator.

1:16:37PFT Commenter:Yeah. If you took away golf simulator and ice cream machine, what do you say? Like five to ten people wouldn't show up every day?

1:16:42Big Cat:I think Stefanski, if he's a smart guy, he put in the golf simulator so he can take away the golf simulator. Oh, yeah. And then he'll put it back in as a reward later.

1:16:50PFT Commenter:Oh, yeah. All right. Late games. We got three. reminder there's two that are earlier kicks so be ready for that broncos at colts colts plus one and a half over under 42 and a half this is my do you believe game of the week because you got to basically say hey listen if you could play the dolphins every week you'd probably go undefeated now the colts have to play a real defense uh do you believe in daniel jones and do you kind of believe in Bo Nix because he looked bad.

1:17:20Big Cat:He looked bad. I'm a Bo Lever, but I also believe in Indiana Jones. Shout out Boomer. I think the Colts are going to make the playoffs this year. I'll tell you that much. I can see it. Looking at their schedule, maybe I'm jumping the gun on this one too, but they don't have a hard schedule and Daniel Jones looked awesome. I don't think he's going to play that good in every game, but I think he's going to be good enough to win a majority of their games if he stays healthy.

1:17:45PFT Commenter:By the way, don't apologize for jumping the gun.

1:17:47Big Cat:Okay.

1:17:49PFT Commenter:Everyone should jump the gun. All right. That's the whole reason we watch these games. We like to overreact. We like to just have doom is, you know, like one loss feels like the world's falling. One win means you're going to win the Super Bowl. This is how you do it. Let the actual players and coaching staffs stay level and do the whole, like, you're only good is this week, 1-0 this week. Let all the fans, if you win a game, you're the best team in the world. If you lose a game, you're sucking. You'll never win again.

1:18:16Big Cat:So, yeah, it's going to be interesting playing at home again. They get to run it back. I don't know if they're going to go with the roof open for Ursa again. I would do it again if I were the Colts. You only get so many of these games each season.

1:18:29PFT Commenter:I would do – if I were the Colts, I would – obviously week one you have to have it all the way open. Maybe each home game you close it a little bit more. That's beautiful. And then the last home game of the season, it's like there's a little slit, and he can watch through it.

1:18:45Big Cat:I like that. Isn't that touching? Who would win? So you were talking about the Jaguars and the Bengals earlier. Who would win, a Bronco or a Colt?

1:18:52PFT Commenter:I tried to look it up. I think a Colt's faster. Is it Colt? Is it neutered, though, or is it intact? I think a Colt's a young horse. A Bronco's wild? Yeah, a Bronco kicks. So I think a Bronco, right? Well, no, in terms of speed. Because you'd obviously race him. You wouldn't fight him.

1:19:11Big Cat:A young male horse under the age of four.

1:19:14PFT Commenter:Yes. So a Colt would win in a race.

1:19:18Big Cat:But a Bronco would beat up a Colt.

1:19:21PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yes. Okay. And also a Colt versus a Bronco. Is a Colt and a Mustang the same thing? I think a Mustang might be wild, too. Okay. because a Mustang would obviously beat a Bronco in a race.

1:19:40Big Cat:And OJ had a Colt at 45 inside his Bronco. Correct. Got it.

1:19:46PFT Commenter:Correct. Correct.

1:19:48Big Cat:Mustang is a free-roaming horse.

1:19:49PFT Commenter:Okay, so not the same thing.

1:19:52Big Cat:That was horse talk. That was horse talk. We do have tickets for the Colts game. Got two free tickets to a Colts fan. I had two ideas for who we should give it to. One, just the listener who looks the most like Daniel Jones that lives in the Indianapolis area that can make it to the game. I bet there's probably hundreds of them.

1:20:11PFT Commenter:Yep.

1:20:12Big Cat:And then also just the funniest picture of your shit.

1:20:17PFT Commenter:I don't want to do that. Yeah, Daniel Jones one for sure.

1:20:20Big Cat:Okay, all right, all right. Good decision. Good producing, Max. So if you look like Daniel Jones, if you're just a white guy and a button-up, we'll make the call.

1:20:31PFT Commenter:Okay.

1:20:32Big Cat:Tag memes.

1:20:33PFT Commenter:You can also just do anyone who owns a horse. That's true, yeah. If you own a horse, just take a picture of you on your horse. Yeah. With a Colts jersey. Yeah. Yeah.

1:20:42Big Cat:And do not send pictures of your shit to memes. Do not send your shit.

1:20:48PFT Commenter:Please don't. Don't do that. All right, Panthers or Cardinals. Cardinals minus 6.5 over under 43.5. I want to take the Panthers, but I don't think I can do it. I don't think I'm man enough to take the Panthers. Oh, I am. You are? I am.

1:21:01Big Cat:You, Hank? Big time.

1:21:03PFT Commenter:It's week two. You got to take some shots. Yep. I already have enough shots on the board. I have the Giants. I have the Jets. I have the Bears. The Titans. I think I have to stop at some point.

1:21:13Big Cat:I'm going to take a shot on the Panthers. I think the Panthers stink. This is a huge game for my people. Bryce Young versus Kyler Murray. Yes. This is the shortest matchup that we've ever had in the history of the NFL.

1:21:25PFT Commenter:Damn.

1:21:26Big Cat:Actually? It's got to be.

1:21:29PFT Commenter:Did Doug Flutie ever play?

1:21:33Big Cat:Max, why are you shaking your head like obviously not? Because people are taller now than they used to be. You think that we had 5 '8 and 5 '9 quarterbacks facing off against each other back in the 80s? Probably. No. It's always been a tall position. But tall now, it's less relative. It's not like it was the 1800s or the 1700s, Max. It's not like people couldn't get nutrients. Football. Football's been played for a while. Okay, if you can show me that there's been a shorter matchup of two quarterbacks, I'll consider getting the limb lengthening surgery.

1:22:09PFT Commenter:I do think PFT might be right here. I don't know what other... No, Zach found one. Oh, already? Oh, wait, is this not NFL, Zach?

1:22:19Big Cat:Yeah, I mean, college doesn't count. College doesn't count. And Rice, I know Rice...

1:22:23PFT Commenter:No, this says NFL history.

1:22:25Big Cat:Rice used to have a running back that was 4-9.

1:22:26PFT Commenter:They played last year, and it was. Eddie LeBaron and Davey O 'Brien, both listed at 5 '7". Oh, shit. Oh, wait. I don't know if they ever played against each other, though. Yeah. They never played against each other.

1:22:38Big Cat:They already played last year. Yeah. It's going to be the most adorable post-game jersey swap. Can't wait for it. P.J. Walker's 5 '11".

1:22:48PFT Commenter:Russell Wilson's 5 '11". Ian Book is 6 '8". I didn't realize Chase Daniels was only 6 '8". I don't know why I didn't think that. Yeah, I'm going to probably take the Cardinals. You guys are probably going to be right. All right, last game.

1:23:03Big Cat:To me, this is the prime example. I know it's not a home game for the Panthers, but it's the prime example of the Panthers look really bad. Yeah. Cardinals, they looked okay. They didn't beat the shit out of the Saints, but also Kyler, he looked pretty good.

1:23:18PFT Commenter:My only concern is I don't know where the Panthers' pass rush is or are going to come from, and if Kyler has time, That's like when Kyler just bounces around in the pocket and just can do everything. Could be a Kyler mega day. Mega day. Mega day for Kyler. That might be how I bet it. Like double XP? Kyler having a mega day. Okay. All right. Last afternoon game. Eagles at Chiefs. Max, where are we at? Chiefs plus one and a half. Over under is 46 and a half. How are you feeling? I feel good Must win? No Can't lose? Can't lose Can't lose Why is it can't lose? Because you can't lose any of your games You can definitely lose some of your games Yeah, but you don't know what's going to happen after you lose Well, yeah, you get back on the flight and you go home And you're like, damn, shouldn't have lost Yeah, you can't lose it though

1:24:15Big Cat:Have the Chiefs become like a division rival for you guys? You guys play him all the time. We do. Nick Sirianni, this is his fifth year, right? Yeah, and there's the Andy Reid aspect of it as well. I think Sirianni is coached against the Chiefs every single year, but he's been a head coach. I still don't hate the Chiefs like I hate the other teams in the NFC East, so no. For some reason, I still hate the Patriots more than I hate. That could just be because of Hank. But, no, I think it's the Boston aspect of it. I still hate the Patriots more than I hate the Chiefs. But we just play the Chiefs a lot now.

1:24:56PFT Commenter:That's also because you just beat them in a Super Bowl. That's true. I was more angry with them after they lost two more. We also lost to the Patriots. If you had lost to the Chiefs this last Super Bowl, you would fucking hate the Chiefs. If you lost two Super Bowls. Yeah, if we lost two Super Bowls to them. Yeah. And we just beat the absolute fuck out of them.

1:25:15Big Cat:You did. You had a hard time even putting yourself in that mind space right there. You were like, if we had lost to the Chiefs, what do you mean if we had lost to the Chiefs? We beat them so badly. You beat the fuck out of them. We did. We did. It was awesome. I think the Chiefs are going to win this game. So I'm worried about the Chiefs. I've thought about it more this week. Who do they have to throw the ball to downfield? Xavier Worthy was a limited participant in practice today. So he might play? He might play. But I've heard that the shoulder, like he popped it out, right? Is it separated or dislocated?

1:25:47I don't know those details. I just know that he was on the field today.

1:25:51Big Cat:He's going to need surgery at some point, and if he's put the surgery off, his shoulder's going to get worse and worse and worse, which is not good for the Chiefs offense. Howell-Brown? Yeah, I think it's a lot on if Xavier Worthy plays because that'll help our secondary immensely if there's one less guy that Adoree Jackson can get burned by because Adoree Jackson is still starting a corner.

1:26:17PFT Commenter:I am just simply taking it because the Chiefs are 21-4 straight up off a loss with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. And I agree, like, it's going to be ugly. The under might actually be the play in this game. It's going to be ugly because I don't think the Eagles – the Eagles' pass game did not look that good. Would you agree, Max? I mean, the second half, there was nothing. Well, the second half – A.J. Brown – I don't know. They moved the ball at will in the first half. whenever they wanted to. So they didn't need to pass it downfield because they were just – there was no stopping what they were doing.

1:26:54PFT Commenter:I'm just taking – it's like no disrespect to the Eagles. I'm just taking the Chiefs because I just can't imagine them starting 0-2. That's fair. It's a visualization game. Like, close your eyes. Chiefs start 0-2. I can't see it.

1:27:08Big Cat:And you're not going to call for Sirianni to be fired if you lose. I will not call for Siriana to be fired if we lose AJ Brown said maybe

1:27:16PFT Commenter:if the Chiefs lose this game I'm going to I'm definitely going to be like the Chiefs are in trouble yeah and they don't have an easy schedule pinky team? no because I no way no way I have to do one after this week but here's the problem remember last year I didn't know because I can't make the argument that they realistically Exactly, right, right. Lions I could do. Yep. Last year, remember, I got to decide between the Rams and the Ravens, and I was honest with it. I was like, I think the Ravens could win the Super Bowl. I can't confidently say they can't win the Super Bowl. I think I'd be in the same spot with the Chiefs.

1:27:57PFT Commenter:Yeah. Like, the Chiefs, I'm not going to be like, the Chiefs can't win the Super Bowl if they start 0-2. That would be crazy. Yeah, the Lions would be a good one. Let's look at pinky teams real quick.

1:28:07Big Cat:Because if the Bears beat them, so we're looking at the Browns. The Lions. Browns can't count.

1:28:15PFT Commenter:The Seahawks. Ravens. Seahawks can count. The Texans. Ravens, I think, can win the Super Bowl. Texans, maybe. It was Falcons-Rams last year, by the way.

1:28:23Big Cat:Not Rams. Ravens.

1:28:25PFT Commenter:Were the Ravens 0-2? They were, right? Yeah, you just said they lost to the Ravens. Yeah, and I said... I thought it was Kirk Cousins and the Rams. No, the Ravens were 0-2 last year. Did they not?

1:28:37Big Cat:But it was Falcons.

1:28:39PFT Commenter:Right. But I said because the Ravens can't even be in the conversation because I think they can win the Super Bowl. Like, I'm not going to get crazy. It could be the Jets. Jets can't count. Come on. Yeah. Falcons can count. Texans can count. Texans for sure can count. It's going to be between the Falcons, Texans, Seahawks, I think. I think those are the realistic teams that, like, you could have made the argument someone was betting them to win the Super Bowl.

1:29:06Big Cat:And I think the Texans would be probably the best pick of those because they had the most Super Bowl aspirations before the season.

1:29:12PFT Commenter:And I've done the Texans before. And they actually gave me my biggest scare when they won nine in a row. So, Max, prediction on this game? I think we're going to win. I think it's going to be a dogfight. I like the under. I think that you're right with that. I think it's going to be not what everyone is hoping for sort of game, but I think Jalen Hurts gets it done. Well, these also are both – both these teams are the quintessential. If they have a lead at halftime, they're just going to try to run the clock out. Also, cleanup from last week, we recorded early Tuesday morning about Tank Bigsby.

1:29:48The Eagles backup running back injury details came out after we recorded, so he's out for a while. Ah, so Howie wasn't getting crazy. Yeah, so that – So good job, Howie. It made more sense. Great job, Howie.

1:29:59PFT Commenter:Great job, Howie. Yeah, under 46 and a half. I hate betting unders. Okay, last game, Falcons-Vikings, also a national championship rematch. Yes. Michael Penix versus J.J. McCarthy. I like the Falcons here. I don't know how.

1:30:16Big Cat:I just do. So the stat on McCarthy, he has not lost a regular season game as a starter since October 26, 2019.

1:30:24PFT Commenter:Who did he lose to?

1:30:25Big Cat:That's a long time. That's in high school. Rams? No, it was in high school. That must have been a bad game. It was a bad game. Really bad game. Yeah, I love how J.J. McCarthy is making people angry because he looked so bad, and then he wins, and he looks so good when he wins. And the team loves him, and he's maybe going to have a baby. Yeah. That's going to be a big X factor for me. I'm going to wait until I see confirmation. How fast do you think you could get the senior added to the nameplate? Overnight. If he names his baby J.J. McCarthy Jr. and then he's now senior and that happens on like Friday, you think on Saturday they'll get the S and the R shipped in?

1:31:08PFT Commenter:Yeah.

1:31:08Big Cat:I think they do.

1:31:09PFT Commenter:I would agree. The quarterback. I really want, I don't know if this person exists, but tweet us if it does. The NFL guy who doesn't watch any college football. And you have to, this has to happen naturally. You are getting upset about J.J. McCarthy naturally. So maybe this is something for next week or the week after. You're getting upset about J.J. McCarthy naturally, and then you go and you look up his college stats, and you're like, what the fuck? He's been doing this for a long time. I want to talk to that guy. You look up the Penn State game from 2023 when he threw eight passes total. Not one pass in the second half.

1:31:49PFT Commenter:I was at that game. Worst sporting event I've ever been to in my entire life. Because you know that there are these people that exist that don't watch any college football, Hank, and they aren't familiar with J.J. McCarthy's game, they're going to get mad about J.J. McCarthy not even realizing we've been doing this for a while. There's been the discourse. I've always thought J.J. McCarthy's good, and I haven't really understood the... I understand the handoff merch and stuff, but I think he's good. But there's a whole group of people that hate him and have hated him for a long time and thought that he sucks and just basically was on a super team.

1:32:23Big Cat:He's been really good at what he's been asked to do. Yeah. He just has never been asked to do that much. We do have an update from Jake Marsh regarding Skoragami. Oh, please. He said, could very well be a Ravens fan. We don't root for teams as Gami fans. We root for numbers. Either that or he fell asleep, which is a tough look as well. That one doesn't hold water for me because he should have then updated the Gami the next morning. Right.

1:32:47PFT Commenter:They didn't post the final score. Right. If he's a Ravens fan, I think Gami's over. Yeah, the integrity. You can't root. You have to root for the GAMI. We root for numbers. We root for numbers. In the GAMI community. The game is irrelevant. Yep. All right. Should we do our touchdown parlay, and then we will get to our picks? And we also have a fantasy minute from Jerry O 'Connell. By the way, heard some people saying they wanted fantasy fuckboys. We will mix in fantasy lads, maybe one fuckboys here and there. It's not fully, fully dead. We're just trying new things. It's going to be like, if you need to write it down, I'd say like four to five lads are fuckboys this year.

1:33:26PFT Commenter:And they're going to be special. And they will be special. They'll make it even better. So we're going to do it. All right. Let's do our TD Parlay. DraftKings Don't let one bad leg haunt your parlay. Parlay's turn into payouts and now even near misses won't haunt your bet. The NFL season is here in DraftKings Sportsbook and the official sports betting partner of the NFL is rewriting the rules with GhostLeg, a new game-changing promotion that turns close calls into cold, hard cash. Best of all, it's available to all DraftKings customers. Here's how it works. Build any three-plus-leg pregame NFL parlay on Sunday.

1:34:02PFT Commenter:Apply your GhostLeg token, and if one leg loses, DraftKings makes it vanish like it never existed and pays you out in cash for the rest. Last season, over 30 million parlays were lost by a single leg. This year, GhostLeg gives those busted bets a second life. download the DraftKings Sportsbook app use code take that's code take to unlock ghost leg the promotion that makes one bad leg disappear and pays you out in real uh cash ghost your losses get your payout in partnership with DraftKings Sportsbook the crown is yours okay boys we got to win this did we hit any of them I did good for you going back to the well what did you hit JK Dobbins what was mine I bet it I just don't remember it Jameer Gibbs oh I bet you golden Yeah, that was probably stupid for a rookie Okay, go ahead J.K.

1:34:55PFT Commenter:Dobbins again J.K. Dobbins I'm going to leave us one Can I leave us one? What do you mean? I'm going to do Jordan Mason I'm going to leave us one on Sunday night So we maybe hit the first two And then we just have a Sunday night That actually works perfectly

1:35:11Big Cat:Because mine is pretty chalky

1:35:14PFT Commenter:Jalen Hurts Can we put those together, Max? and tell us what it is in the DraftKings Sportsbook? Getting your first win is important in this.

1:35:23Big Cat:Yes.

1:35:24PFT Commenter:Yes. And, like, having one that we just have left over that we can just root for really hard, it's kind of fun. Yep. It's like leaving yourself a last bite, last taste. All right, we're looking right now. Plus 310. We're going to add Jalen Hurts. Looks like 6-1. I love that. Okay. So go to the DraftKings Sportsbook. reminder we're doing these in the afternoon so once the early games finish we'll be right there uh ride with us we're all betting it and uh let's win this one all right picks who's up first what are the what are the scores remember we do like if you win it's one point if you tie it's if you

1:36:02Big Cat:push it's a half a point half a point let me pull it up i believe hank went two and oh so hank has

1:36:09PFT Commenter:two points.

1:36:11Big Cat:Did I scroll past it?

1:36:13PFT Commenter:You might have. Max is 2-0. No, I have one point. Max is 1-1. Everyone is 1-1 except PFT is 0-2, Hank's 2-0. So two points for Hank, no points for PFT, Max, memes, Zach and I have one point. Who's up first?

1:36:30Big Cat:I believe I am. I'm going to go with the Chargers, minus three.

1:36:36PFT Commenter:Okay. Chargers minus three. Remember, this is for a nipple piercing and a Prince Albert. Cool. Zach's face. Zach just looked up.

1:36:49Big Cat:Wait, you don't want to get it? Zach, what? I just don't remember. We could have fully cemented that. I just might have missed it.

1:36:55PFT Commenter:The Prince Albert? Yeah, the Prince Albert part. Yeah. And you've got to get the chain connecting the two.

1:37:00Big Cat:Listen, I'm fine with the Prince Albert. The nipple piercing. If you're in, I'm in. The nipple piercing, I'm also.

1:37:08PFT Commenter:But the Prince Albert, you're cool. Because I got four of them. I honestly. That's a cock ring? It's a cock piercing. Oh. I didn't know that was a thing either. We're not doing a Prince Albert. All right. We're on board for the Prince Albert. Way too on board for the Prince Albert. I would maybe like ears pierce for a month. Oh, that would be funny. That actually would be good. But then the holes don't fill up, right? No, they will. Oh. Max. I will go Jaguars plus three and a half against the Bengals.

1:37:43Big Cat:Zach. I would like to take the Commanders plus three. I can't. Can't do it. Thursday night. Thursday night. Thank you, Zach. No worries. Then I would like to take the Jets plus six and a half.

1:37:53PFT Commenter:Okay.

1:37:54Big Cat:My man. PFT. One of mine got picked. So I'm going to take the under in Rams Titans. That's a good pick. 41 and a half. That's a really good pick.

1:38:06PFT Commenter:Thank you. I'm going to take... You know what? I'm going to take the Texans minus two and a half, Monday Night Football. I was laughed and scoffed at last week when I took my over-under. It was the ugliest one on the board. I'm going to go back to the well and take over 40 and a half in 49ers Saints. That's just you not being able to quit Mac Jones. We're scoffed at it. That's a Mac Jones, Spencer Rattler shootout. And then I'm going to take the Bears plus six. Okay. All right. So I have my... I have to take a... Why did I take... Oh, has anyone taken the Jags Bengals over? No, I just took the Jags.

1:38:55PFT Commenter:Give it to me. There you go. Jags Bengals over. I like that pick. I believe it is 48 and a half. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

1:39:02Big Cat:Has anybody taken the Cowboys minus 5.5? Nope, all you. I will take the Cowboys minus 5.5.

1:39:12PFT Commenter:I would like to take the Giants-Cowboys game for under 44.5. Okay. It's old. Have it. I am going to take the Jets-Bills over 46.5. It'll be fun. That's a fun one. Yep. It's possible. It is a fun one. Jets' offense looks good. Bills' defense look terrible. Bills are the bills, you know. I'm going to go Browns-Ravens over 45 and a half.

1:39:41Big Cat:Ravens are going to put 46 by themselves. Wow. I like that one, too. You don't think Joe Flacco is going to come out shot out of a cannon? He will put three touchdowns. Okay. Three touchdowns, 300 yards. That's going to hit the over by like 20 points. Yeah, take it at 60.

1:39:58PFT Commenter:Okay, easy. okay boys uh let's we got we got jerry's fantasy minute now we have a problem we told jerry to give us his fantasy minute it's a minute and 42 seconds i think we got cut off in a minute no well here's the thing though you're you're enabling him no no no no let me finish knowing jerry o 'connell like we do he's always so good at the end of the video i think we watched the first 17 seconds and then the last 43 seconds so we skipped the middle Yeah. Are you okay with that?

1:40:31Big Cat:I'm okay with it. I don't know if he's going to get a copyright strike, though.

1:40:36PFT Commenter:Listen, we just won't know what will happen in the middle, too. So, okay. Okay, yeah. All right. I'm down. So, at 17 seconds, let's skip to the last 43 seconds. Here's Jerry. I think he doesn't start. Let's save as many seconds as we can, right? What is this car? It's sick. It's beautiful. Let's start four seconds in. So, we save four seconds. All right. Are you talking shit about the car? All right. No, that's like a$300 ,000 car. Get to 21 seconds and then skip to a minute. Why can't he fix his driveway? All right, are you ready? Somebody stole his purse. You ready? Yeah, someone did steal Jerry's purse.

1:41:14PFT Commenter:Please give it back.

1:41:17PFT Commenter:Hey, what's up? Welcome to Fantasy Fuck Boys. I want to apologize to all the A.W. Wells. I wasn't trying to replace Fantasy Fuck Boys. I got a message from Big Cat saying, send me a one-minute video about our fantasy team. Also, in his strike for the music playing? I don't think that was the song. I have no idea what kind of music. All right, here we go. Here's the last 42 seconds. He's moving up in the ranks, and he's going to be a great wide receiver. Also, let's pick up JJ as a backup QB. He's also moving up. Hope everybody got Chris Boswell. He's a sick kicker, sick kicker. What else? Let's stream the Arizona Cardinals, and let's stream the San Francisco 49ers because Carolina and New Orleans sucks.

1:42:10PFT Commenter:Let's stream their defenses. Also, let's try and pick up Ollie Gordon because things are falling apart in Miami, and I think he's going to be the RB1. All right, that's it. Again, sorry about the change, AWL. Oh, I lost my song here.

1:42:27Big Cat:All right, wait, so now we owe him, what, four seconds from the middle?

1:42:31PFT Commenter:Four seconds from the middle because he tried to copyright us there. So just a random four seconds. Yeah. Let's go from 30 to 34. Does that sound good? Yeah. Perfect. Sometimes things change, okay? Sometimes your mommy forgets.

1:42:54Big Cat:Oh. And, yes, Fantasy Fuck Boys will return several times this year. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:43:00PFT Commenter:Yeah. But this is – I mean, Jerry's – this was great. The Jerry Fantasy Minute. We told him he has to do a minute, and then he sends us a minute 45, and we got to just choose. Next week he's going to send us like seven minutes, and we're just going to have to choose what to play. Yeah, I learned a lot from it, though. I did, too. Ollie Gordon? Stream the Cardinals defense? What does that mean? Chris Boswell? I don't know. Is that a fantasy term? I don't know what stream means in this context. Also, how do you get glasses that match the car perfectly? Yeah, the car is sick. The headphones and glasses in the car all match.

1:43:31PFT Commenter:That's a sick car. The glasses come with the car. Memes is right. How does he not fix his driveway? Marvel money. Marvel money. Marvel money. Camp Barstool money. Camp Barstool money. That's exactly what it is. That's a Camp Barstool car. Right there. Paid him$4 million. That could have been Jeff D. Lowe's. $4 million to just drink a Mountain Dew with the dude. Boom. Okay. We got an awesome interview. Our good friend Andrew Santino in studio. We talk everything with him. Great, great time.

1:46:37Look, maybe I'll catch a bachelor party invite. Wait, you face - Maybe. Well, I mean, if you catch - I guess they could do like - You could do bachelor and not the wedding. I know. It's actually a great place to be. In fact, preferred if I'm - Yes, agreed. I'd rather do batch and no wedding. I don't want to do the weddings. I don't want to do weddings in general anymore. So if you can give me the bachelor party without the wedding -

1:46:57PFT Commenter:I've always said the best place to be as a friend is to be like the eighth best friend. So your bachelor party, but nothing to do with the wedding. It's great, dude. You don't have to be an usher. The usher is always so pathetic when they throw you usher. Yeah, dude. They're like, oh yeah, why don't you be the usher? Like, dude. I don't want to do that. I don't want. It's work. I have to go to work.

1:47:15Big Cat:Yeah. I thought I was going to party. Yeah, you stand up for like an hour and you pass out pamphlets and then you sit down and you're like, okay, I did my job. But yeah, I'd rather go to a wedding where I can just get drunk as early as possible. Right. Before the ceremony. Especially growing up with so many Catholics in our life. Like Catholic weddings, dude. The churches are always hot. Forever. It's nine hours long. Yeah. You got to meet a thousand people. And then by the time you black out, you are going to say something foul to somebody's aunt. Right. It's just going to happen.

1:47:42PFT Commenter:Right. And being the usher, it's such a slap in the face. I hate it. You didn't make the cut. Yeah, you didn't make the cut. You're on the practice squad. I don't want to do that. Yeah, just cut me, dude. Put me back in the locker room. Yeah, put me on waivers. Let's see if someone else can do that. Maybe bachelor party. We'll see. So wait, if you FaceTimed him on the day it was announced. Well, it happened much earlier, but. Oh, did you know it happened? There, I think so. You're getting invited, dude. No, no, no, no. You're one of like five people that knew. No, we spoke, him and I spoke when I last saw him and he said he was wanting to do it when we, we had golfed together in like April or May.

1:48:20And yeah, he was said he was doing it, but he didn't say when, I mean, you know, it wasn't. Yeah, yeah. But I don't over, I don't pry. it's like that thing about you know the memes online where women are like you golf with your buddy like what happened with his divorce is like we didn't talk about no like you were there for four i was like yeah we don't that's so like he he's brought something up about it and then uh i never asked again i mean i don't know dude i don't not saying i don't care but i don't it's not what i'm i'm stoked i hope it's yeah i hope it's awesome i but i'm not gonna be like what day yeah doing it what's going on no but we just facetimed him to say congrats and he said what's up to my pops which i you know yeah that's cool yeah my dad was like when am i going do i get an invite i was actually be funnier if he went yeah i didn't yeah yeah i think she's gonna have like

1:49:03Big Cat:maybe a handful of his rowdy friends that she'll allow him to invite like you get six of the rowdy boys well he's got a lot of dogs from from ohio that that he's loyal to the foil on that will be there for sure but they grew up with him and everything you know i'm an adult friend that's a different yeah adult friends yeah old friends are different we met later in life and i'm sure when they're going down the list, she'll get to Santino and be like, I don't know, dude.

1:49:27PFT Commenter:How funny was his new special? Yeah, was he good? Yeah. Is he funny? Well, watch it. Yeah. So turn on Hulu now, watch it, and judge, and maybe we'll see. But that is, going back real fast to this whole, like, the Catholic thing, it reminded me, my dad went to a funeral, sorry, a wake yesterday, and went to the funeral today. And I'm like, we gotta double down. Can't we just do one or the other? Yeah. Can we just pick one of these things? We don't have to do both. That's actually showing too much respect. It's way too much, man. Yeah, like you go to show your respects. You don't really, you're kind of showboating at this point.

1:49:57Yeah, but there is free food. He is excited about it. Yeah, and some drinks.

1:50:00PFT Commenter:He knows what's coming, yeah. By the way, we did a Mount Rushmore a couple weeks ago about things that girls hate about guys, and we talked about the whole going on a trip and coming back with nothing. And I mentioned that I've been doing, because my wife always hates that. I'll just be like, I don't know how his job is. I don't know what his kids' names are. At the end of a trip, because you go on a lot of golf trips. Yeah. I literally sit my friends down. I'm like, give me two facts. Just give me two facts I can bring back. We don't have to have a conversation about it. Just give me two facts.

1:50:28Just hand me two facts. My wife finds out about stuff when we get together with groups of people and I talk about it. Yes. She'll be like, when did that happen? I'm like, that was I told you when I was out there. Nope. When I was down at Big Cedar. And she's like, you did not say that, but I'm glad I'm hearing it now as you speak to other people. Because that's your partner. By the time you get home, you're like, I don't want to talk about what happened. And I thought I did. I thought I mentioned it. I thought I did. Yeah, that counts. Yeah, that counts. No, I don't. The boys' golf trips, I've done a bunch, and almost nothing constructive gets done.

1:51:01Big Cat:Yeah. Almost nothing. When you do the golf trips, do you split up into teams? Because I've got some friends that do that every year, and they make it like a Ryder Cup where they have polos that they've made for their own teams, and they take it really, really seriously, and this is like an annual event that they do, or you just go and play. No, we don't do the shirts. We talked about that, the shirts thing. We don't do the shirts with the boys trip. We do divide the teams up, though. But the teams are, because there's handicaps, the teams are chosen at random. If there wasn't handicaps, you'd have to choose A player, B player, C player.

1:51:35You know what I mean? Right, yeah. But we just do handicaps, so it works out to be fair almost every single time. But the problem is, if someone's getting smushed all week, the house at night gets a little weak. Oh, yeah. And the fights break out. the arguments. And then we went to Bandon, and I'm not going to mention any of the friends' names. I mean, no one would know anyway, but we went to Bandon. A couple of guys wanted to go to... Have you guys been to Bandon Dunes? No. And there's a little town there called Coos Bay. And Coos Bay has a strip club. Shout out to the Bachelor's Inn. God bless you guys.

1:52:07It's about as big as this room, and this is the F Squad, dog. This is the toughest of tough. You look at this place online, it's really sad. It'll break your soul. There was one girl there with wooden teeth. A girl had on what I think was a pacemaker or something, something exposed on the outside of her skin. Lovely people. Lovely drinks.

1:52:29Big Cat:Wooden teeth. Big drinks. What year is this? Yeah, 1748. Yeah, where can you find a guy to make whiskey?

1:52:36PFT Commenter:She had some whiskey in her peg leg. Her teeth looked like they could be made of a different material. Yeah, okay. Can we guess who was on the trip? No, no, you'll never know. This is just boys that I... Jason Bateman? No, no, no. Rob McElhain? No, no. These are just boys that I grew up. These are college boys. These are college dogs. Because you did tell us you went to band with them a different time. I did go with those guys. That was very fun. Different trip. Yeah. See, that's like they're all good boys. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Like we're having a couple of sodas. Half of the guys didn't drink.

1:53:06And then you go to bed. It's about the golf, yeah. The college boys. Yeah, then you got to let loose. My buddy Miller didn't wake up. It's like six minutes before the tee time. Still went out. Shot like 79. Those guys that do that and blow my mind. Oh, it's the best. I need to stretch a little. No, he'll wake up, go, still play great golf. Just hit it straight off the first box. Yeah, he doesn't care.

1:53:27Big Cat:What are your takes about the matching shirts? You said that you and Big Cat had a convo? We chatted about the matching shirts thing. Now, here's the deal. My dad does a tournament every year, and this will be his 19th year. Tomorrow we're doing it. And it's him. So for Pops, he wants me. That's tradition. It's for Pops. Yeah. But for the boys, when you're going on a boys trip, absolutely not. Unequivocally, absolutely not. For dad, it's dad. It's his rules. He wants it his way. So I'll do whatever he wants. But with the boys, I think it's so cornball shit. I can't do that. Yeah.

1:53:59PFT Commenter:And it also, like, tradition does, like, if it's 19 years. He's been doing it since the jump. You get grandfathered in. And then what I did was, because I stole this idea from Charlie Day, Charlie and his boys have a jacket. They play for a jacket every year, him and his Rhode Island boys. And I was like, I want to do a jacket for us. So I went and got four identical nice jackets and I pressed on my dad's crest on the chest. And, uh, I won the last two years. I'm hoping to. So you bought the jacket for yourself. Yeah. A hundred percent. There's one that fits me literally perfectly. And the others are triple XL.

1:54:32Yeah, they are.

1:54:34Big Cat:Have you, uh, have you gotten better at golf? I'm better than I, I'm better than I've ever been, but I have, I slide, you know what I mean? there's yeah there's there's weeks or where i'm i slide into absolute shit and it's remarkable how i'm like i can't believe i can't play but i i think i when i really started playing golf in my late 20s early 30s i think i started at like a i mean i think i was averaging probably like a 12 or 14 handicap and now i'm down to like a five or a six or something like that's pretty good yeah i got i got much better yeah but i mean there's days where i shoot 80 and there's days where i shoot 74 so i couldn't tell if you said 80 like it was a good thing or a bad thing right there i was like wait is that well 80 is good but i mean there's days when i'm not breaking 80 and there's most and then there's days where i'm just i'll have a week where a week or two where i'm

1:55:18PFT Commenter:just smooth 74 75s you know yeah yeah um all right so your new special white noise white noise out on hulu out on hulu right now so what i i've seen a lot of comedians just do the direct youtube thing yeah sell it was this a process that like because i assume when you go to hulu and disney they might have notes how did that work out yeah they had a couple of notes for sure they definitely uh you know what's so funny is like like netflix doesn't say a word netflix doesn't care what you do i mean after chappelle and the trans stuff they were like well everything has to be able to be we're good now yeah like if he does that you're not they're not gonna tell somebody else but yeah disney disney is still disney at the end of the day and they you know yeah they they came to me There's actually a couple of jokes in the special about Disney adults, and they did not like those at all.

1:56:11Did you take them out? We had to peel off a little bit of something on one side of one joke, and then another piece of a joke that wouldn't have fit. We had to move, but they didn't like the attack on the Disney adults. Do you want to just do it now? Yeah, you want me to? I mean, it is crazy. Disney adults are crazy. I mean, can we all not agree that this is insane? Like even Disney, it's like, you don't think, you don't think what I'm saying is valid. Basically what the joke is, and you'll see it in the special, but the full joke is, I say that my buddy EP, my buddy EP is a grown adult black male and he came over to my house in a Disney jacket, but nobody cares.

1:56:48Like when a grown adult black man wears a Disney jacket, you know, I was like, what is that? He's like, no, I fuck with Goofy. Like I'd be fucking with Goofy. And everyone's like, no, he do be fucking with Goofy. Like everyone will agree. But when When a white adult wears a Disney jacket, everybody's like... What's going on here? Is he retarded?

1:57:06PFT Commenter:Yeah, yeah. What's happening? Yeah. And then I peel off into the joke of saying, I just have never... In Chicago, we didn't grow up with Disney. I moved to California. There's Disney adults. Yeah. I never saw that when we were a kid here. It didn't exist. But it's in my backyard now, so you see Disney adults. And I said, I just think there should be two lines at Disney. One for people with kids and one for people without. And the people with kids get to go in the park. and the people without get to go to jail you have to go to jail there should be a line right into a jail cell yeah so they got bumped they got scared about it but it's like it's at the end of the day it's a joke yeah like i'm i'm it's by the way in the special white noise which people hopefully will watch there is so much more offensive shit right the the title white noise is playing on the idea of me being you know crispy see-through and i do a joke a white noise joke in the special about a white noise machine and that joke is way more offensive to so many groups of people and it's funny but they're like that's great and i'm like but you don't like the one that's yeah the other one that's harmless yeah such a it's such an easy observation but look they you know we went back and forth about it and we felt like maybe it was better that we put it out the way we did but what the finished product is out there so i hope people and and you obviously watched it you did it but you feel good about it it's like because you you know i like it too but specials are impossible to you know everyone has a judgment about special that they're like you know everyone always will say something like oh yeah i saw him live and i don't this isn't as good as i've seen him or whatever my buddy dan soder have you guys ever had sody yes he's the best sody's one of the greatest men alive but soder said it best he was like yeah you know why they like a podcast or like seeing you live better than a organized special is because they're getting it straight from the tap dude right he's like from this this is right out of the hose dude this is childhood sweating running with your friend it's right out of the hose delicious and a prep and then a packaged show like a special or a television show or a film it's got to go through a million things like we just talked about before it gets to you so it's harder it's just it's naturally not going to taste as good as when it's raw and unfiltered and and kind of you know kind of sketchy and you don't know

1:59:23Big Cat:what you're getting might get equal lie from the garden hose maybe dude and you know what delicious we know that one kid that got a brain eating amoeba and whatever yeah that's right i think some kid at my high school got um what's the thing they had to uh amputate something he got um leprosy no it used they used to it came from water fountains they got scared from water fountains botulism no but that is that sounds right yeah no botulism they got a water fountain disease botulism is botox you know that yeah you know when women get botox you're shooting botulism in your face are you gonna get botox ever nah dude la look at i got a fade this morning on my beard i went to a black barber shop this morning and he he lined me up this is the most lined up i think i love being lined up did he line me up like crazy you ever feel like any pressure to talk to the barber when you're there because there's some barbers that you hit it off with but this guy did not want to talk to me that's the best yeah he was not interested i think he didn't like that i walked in there yeah yeah i think he saw me and he's like i'm not cutting this dude shit and i was like i just want a beard trim that's all i need because i got bushy yeah and he just any i'm not kidding he was like sit down he like rolled his eyes looked away yeah i didn't say a word dude it was i just sat there quietly when you go into when you go into a barbershop that is mostly for not whites you just you say hi do the thing tip well and leave speak

2:00:42PFT Commenter:when spoken to i once when spoken i once got a uh haircut at a puerto rican barbershop i was at a wedding in Minneapolis and uh it was he took out the uh straight razor yeah halfway through and I was like oh god I'm I'm screwed so it was like it was a tight fade I was like this is this isn't me but this and then I had a wedding the next day no but you look good my wife was so mad like what did you do they cut a little fade into there but you know like you know that moment everyone's had like a bad haircut or haircut that doesn't fix fit them and you know that moment when the when the straight razor comes out or something comes out you're like i'm too deep like we're already doing this you can't say i can't turn back we're just doing this no i i kind of let them fly and if it's bad then you have something to talk about yeah it's not gonna not grow you're fine it's it's gonna fix itself eventually like my my wife was like uh you're gonna let this guy cut your beard because i don't let i have my barber do my hair and my beard and even i won't even sometimes i'll get it out of my mouth maybe yeah i let him do all of it all the time she's like you're gonna let this dude you've never met at this place that you don't know cut your beard i was like yeah let's roll the dice dude he's a professional he's a wow he probably went to school i don't know dude i don't know dude maybe online i think he went to barber school online yeah he's used the razor a

2:01:55Big Cat:lot i try his hands look steady he doesn't look like he's drunk right now yeah he's used the razor for extracurricular activity so why would he not when they do get to the neck though every time i'm like this could be it i get a little nervous yeah this could be if he has an intrusive thought that he acts on right now i'm fucked yeah what if he had a tough morning yeah he woke up his wife was bitching at him your business is failing we're spending all of our money on this piece of shit operation da da da da there's no one going in and i'm the only guy that goes in first thing in the morning i'm number one in the chair you know who knows he's not like i'm gonna i'm gonna make something out of this ginger are you gonna get jacked up at some point like how far into your Hollywood evolution do we have to reach?

2:02:36Big Cat:I'm out, dude. TRT? TRT. I'm absolutely out. You're never going to get jacked. Look, I'm as middleweight as I've ever been right now. You look good. I'm fine, dude. You know what Dave said that made me laugh? Dave said, I go, damn, dude, you're so tan right now. And he goes, if you can't tone it, tan it. Yeah. And I was like, that's a fantastic... I mean, I can't tan so it was kind of a shot at me, but I was like, good on you, dude.

2:02:57PFT Commenter:Every summer, people were like, damn, you look good. You lost like 5, 10 pounds. I was like, nope, I'm tan. Ah, tan it, dude. I'm tan. Yeah, you can get tan. Tan as fuck, yeah.

2:03:04Big Cat:You don't get tan, do you? I don't really get tan, no. I mean, I get like slightly burned. Yeah. And then the burn sticks around for a couple weeks. This happens to me. Yeah, it just peels off. Thankfully, I have like half Italian, so I will get a little color, more than a normal ginge. But no, dude, getting jacked, I'm out. Look, I'm at a stage in my career, I'd like to say, I don't know who said this, but it made me laugh so hard because they said, this is the evolution arc for people in Hollywood, right? is it starts off with in reference to like me you'd go who the fuck is andrew santino who is that and then the second one is oh i like that guy andrew santino get me andrew santino and then the third one is get me someone just like andrew santino get me an andrew santino type okay younger santino yeah and then the fourth one is who the fuck is andrew santino this is the arc that we take and i'm on the cusp of i'm on the cusp of get me and andrew santino and who the fuck is i'm like falling off that other side so i'm out dude i'm good this is it i'm gonna do comedy and

2:04:04PFT Commenter:podcasting till i'm dead yeah do you do you really think like because you and bobby obviously have a great podcast like you have so much fun do you think that you can just do it forever because we talk about this we're going into year 10 coming up it's huge and i we always joke and it's it's it's a joke but it's really not a joke like when i think about what i would do if i stopped doing this it would probably be watch football with pft and hank in my basement so like why not just sit in front of a mic yeah this is it no i think we're gonna do dude we started it you know we started bad friends um before covid we were blessed with covid as crazy as that sounds because it kept everyone at home and then our first couple of episodes got over a million views and it was like people had been asking for it and like fans were like you guys should do one together so it was kind of this beautiful marriage and we started it five years ago it'll be six years in january and so i don't see us stopping it's the most fun job i've ever had dude yeah like it's the and this is the thing and going back fast to the disney stuff is like you know they're restrictive and protective of their brand i was a little hurt by the fact that we wanted to like shape stuff up because they were afraid of some of the language you know i get it i get their thing I was mad about it.

2:05:13We fought about it. We're here. It is what it is. But with Bob, I don't have to do that. Right. I don't ever have to sacrifice or I don't even have to think about it. We just say what we say. We'll figure it out. Also, it's fine. Their words. Most of the time, it's fantasy town. So when people are like, can you believe that this and this? It's like, dude, it's all fake. Right. It's all for fun. Almost none of it's real.

2:05:37PFT Commenter:And it's also the thing that I still can't understand is like people who, you know, everyone has haters or people who don't like them. And it's like, why would you keep listening? Just stop listening. They hate you. They love you. Yeah, but like - There's people listening to this show right now that literally can't stand you guys. Right. That love you so much. Right. But like also if it bothers you, just stop. Like this is a, it's, you can opt in or opt out. Now they have to consume it. You listen harder. Yeah. those people are probably bigger fans than your average fan who's like oh i love those guys yeah it's like do you listen last week and they're like no i think i missed i don't know i had my kids had practice and but the guy that's like i fucking hate those guys you think that guy listens

2:06:16Big Cat:to every single second of your show absolutely he probably listens to it twice i don't think it's possible to hate somebody unless you love them you love them first yeah you love them first and then you hate them and then you hate well isn't that what happens in our business is people like you get successful or you grow and the show gets bigger and it's naturally like it gets to a point when people are like uh oh fuck those guys yeah like oh i liked it when it was just you know

2:06:38PFT Commenter:you're like this version i liked it better when it sucked yeah right yeah which i kind of understand i get it yeah i get it too but it's natural we're trying to grow the show and make more people get involved like we have a great lineup coming up on bad friends like we're expanding our universe because we do great when it's just us but when we bring in a guy should this is fun guy fieri's coming on oh hell yeah and i'm so fucking excited but it's like even he was like are your fans gonna like it's like dude who cares right this is for us dude like he's gonna cook for us and shit i was like no dude you're coming on the show no i i i completely agree with that because like even this interview it's gonna be we're running it on on the day of your special yeah it's gonna be football season there will be a sect of our fans who'll be like a comedian during football season it's like dude we're friends with santino like i like having friends on the show i think having friends on the show is better than doing a random interview with someone we've never met like it just is we're boys and also we can talk football although i'm you know last time we talked i was a little scared about the bears and now i'm even more i'm just more nervous about the bears than ever yeah i feel like you know people are very down

2:07:44Big Cat:on caleb right now but it's the perfect time to buy stock but see i i this i agree with because i think what happened last season being on like hard knocks which i think we talked about i I hated it so much. It's the worst. It made me angry inside, especially when they showed his stupid lake house and all that.

2:08:02PFT Commenter:Oh, they were trying to do the Hollywood wash of Eberflute. Dude, it killed me. I was like, this is bad luck. This is absolutely bad luck. You know this. And then we saw what happened last season and the first coach to get fired midseason, which was incredible for us. Yeah. I thought, let's just be quiet. Just chill out. Lay low. And let's cruise into this season anew. We don't need any more lights. and then of course preseason talk which everyone's picking apart the kid i i still am on his side but i just i'm a little nervous so what i've been doing and preaching this offseason is i'm staying six out of ten excited because last year i was 11 out of 10 me too i was way too hype and it's in six out of ten is a good spot and it's like hey i'm gonna wait till i see it and then i'll get excited and guess what it's like we do this all the time especially with the bears like why would we expect them to all of a sudden be like an 11 win team they haven't been over 500 since 2018 like just put that into perspective it could happen right right but put it in perspective it's like i know it's more likely than not gonna happen but i think i went on eisen and i i told rich i think i said nine wins it was either nine or yeah i've been saying nine i think nine or ten is kind of my that's the sweet spot and i do believe that is very possible and you know what if we're sitting here honestly when we say nine or ten we're obviously saying in our heart of hearts 11 or 12 but we're saying we're saying 9 or 10 you have to i'm not an idiot like we're already gonna get ripped apart for saying 10 just 10 people are double digits you're sick in the head yeah no but i i still believe in the kid i think it's good i i love the coach i will dude i don't know i can't get too hyped up because i don't want to get beat down especially because i'm a cubs fan and i'm seeing what's happening now you know and i'm not and i'm just getting bummed again of like i knew this wasn't going to be a world series same with me i mean who cares I think we said this too.

2:09:48It's like if you're talking NL, the Phillies would literally mop the floor with us. The Dodgers. I think even the Dodgers are all over the place. But I mean the Dodgers still would do well. But I think the Phillies would smoke us. I think the Brewers are going to smush our face in. I just think we don't have a chance. I just want to watch playoff baseball. I just want to watch good playoff baseball. Me too.

2:10:07PFT Commenter:And then maybe next year build something and re-sign Kyle Tucker and this is the launch. You think they're going to give him$400 million?

2:10:14Big Cat:There's no chance. There's no way. If you make it into the playoffs in baseball, you have a chance. Crazy things happen. I don't know, dude. It becomes such a smaller sample size. We would need a much deeper bullpen. The pitching is the concern. The pitching is crazy, and council's not warming anybody up half of the time. Also, I felt bad for that kid last night, for Ray. They're zooming into his hometown in Iowa. What's it called? Cascade, Iowa or something? They gave him mozzarella sticks, and then this one was they buy him a beer or something if he has back-to-back drag.

2:10:44PFT Commenter:and then like he just gets shot right after he gets i think devers was like oh i'm gonna ruin this yeah no mozzarella sticks for you oh my god yeah it was unbelievable also this is i know we're baseball talk we should be football talk but i'm a you know i'm big baseball guy but i was thinking about san francisco and i had my dad and i were talking about the splash because they had what's her name out there in the splash zone or whatever yeah and i was uh what's her name taylor uh why What can I think of her last name? Yeah. But I reminded me when I was a kid of how many times Barry Bonds. Yep.

2:11:18In fact, in 2000. Taylor McGregor. Taylor McGregor. Yeah. Shout out to Taylor McGregor. You're the best. And they had her out there just in a canoe. But in 2000 and 2001, Bonds in 2000 hit like five or six. And then in 2001, it was like seven or eight. They haven't had one. They had one this year in April was the last time it happened. But I was like, bring back the juice, dog. I know.

2:11:39Big Cat:Bring back the juice. It's disgusting that Barry Bonds is not in the Hall of Fame. Yeah. He's the best baseball player to ever have. It's abhorrent, and he's also an Arizona State kid, so I love that about him as well.

2:11:49PFT Commenter:We had Rob Manford on the show, and I pitched him, like, steroid month. Give him the juice. He didn't think it was funny. See, but I don't understand. They're using other enhancing drugs now that are legal and cleared. Why don't we regulate this then? Yeah. Regulate it. Give them all, and they can only top out a certain dose. If you go over the line, you get suspended. Or a month. That's regulation. You get one month. One month. Give him a month. Let him hit the juice, dude. Do whatever you want for him. Imagine if baseball, like, July, they're like, hey, guess what? It's steroid month. You don't tell me the ratings aren't going to go crazy?

2:12:19PFT Commenter:Through the roof. I mean, how about this?

2:12:21Big Cat:They just stop testing and don't tell anyone. Yeah. Yeah, but if you get into stop testing, then you get into, like, then everything is fair game. Yeah. I think, okay, you want it wide open? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can tell everyone you're still testing, but never actually collect a piss. I say drip it out slowly. Let him do a little slowly. Like, I think slowly but surely let it come out. It was like weed. Yeah. The amount of times I get busted for weed in this state when I was a kid and like this sheer panic for smoking pot. Now, I took my parents out to dinner last night. This guy's smoking a joint right outside the restaurant.

2:12:52Right. I was like, isn't this so funny, mom, that used to yell? I used to get deep shit for smoking a joint with my friends. Now it's like every corner store. There's one right here. There's one right down the block.

2:13:01Big Cat:Yeah. Look, I think drip it out slowly. People get comfortable with it. Be like, a little bit of steroid here, a little bit of steroid there. What about this?

2:13:08PFT Commenter:on the roster, you get two designated steroid guys. Totally. That's great. Every team gets two, and you have to declare it before the season. Be like, hey, here are our guys, and we're going to go. What do you think about pitchers using steroids? I think you've got to go one. I think you'd maybe go one pitcher, but no, you'd probably go like. You know who you want? Your closer on roids. Closer on roids, dude. You want John Rocker. A hundred percent. And you wouldn't put your best player on steroids. You'd put like your fifth best player who's like a middle of the road. You'd want a lunatic. You do want a rocker.

2:13:37You want a guy that's going to like huck 104 and say the N-word. That's who you want out there.

2:13:42Big Cat:You're like, let this guy go off, dude. Baseball was great. We had guys like that. Yeah, I mean, maybe the most intimidating pitcher didn't want to fight him. His neck was like Ticchio spikes. It would go like straight down to his shoulders. Yeah. He was one that was talking about the reason I said the N-word joke is because wasn't he doing that about the train? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He was saying he won't. The train is. He wouldn't get on a train. He hates New York. The seven train to Shea Stadium. He gave an all-time interview because it was a Sports Illustrated reporter that was like, hey, I'm going to do a feature on you.

2:14:10Big Cat:And Rocker's like, okay, hop along. All right, you're in my car. All right, they're driving down the road. See that car up there? Guarantee that's a woman Asian driving that car. And they're like, okay, I'm taking some notes right here. But yeah, just the most unhinged interview ever. And then he was like, why is everyone mad at me all of a sudden? I don't know what I said. Well, dude, if that's how he feels, that's how the kid feels. I do think steroid month is a good idea for baseball. I also think get rid of the umps tired no tired you're so wrong on that tired tired there's okay you're so

2:14:38PFT Commenter:wrong on that for a couple reasons get him out did you see the ump who got hit in the nuts three times in a row in a little league game oh I'm not saying remove him from being there I'm saying remove him from making the decision the call but I disagree with that too I think if you remove if you make robot of long standing take on this if you remove umps refs from games you're eliminating like 50 % of the conversation guys can have with each other. I don't know. I'm saying just baseball, my friend. Okay, but still. Because in the NBA, a referee calling a foul, right? There is levels of fouls. So this has to be judged by human, right?

2:15:14But for the box behind home plate, that is a literal box for every person. You can still have umps out in the field. Also, we're going to overturn those calls when you're wrong. So what's the difference? But behind home plate, it's a box. We know what the box is. It's literal.

2:15:29PFT Commenter:But have you thought about losing a game and not being able to blame the ump and having to come to the grips with your team is worse. The amount of games that I've lost as a Chicago fan across the board. I'm just saying. It's never the ump. Yeah, but it's never been the ump for us. It's always a great excuse.

2:15:44Big Cat:Like, we got fucked. That guy, if you're going to call him wrong, be consistent. You can get mad at the ump. Any way you slice it, you can figure out a way why the ump is the problem. All right, well, how about this then? We sacrifice, replace umps with convicted criminals who are on death row. So then you have somebody to blame, somebody to hate. give them something to do i like that but give them something to do we always try to fight them

2:16:03PFT Commenter:yeah yeah that's what i'm saying make it more entertaining we always joke about like the uh when your team loses in the playoffs in the nfl how do how do men cope they spend the next three days screen grabbing every alleged hold and tweeting it at people right and being like what about this what about this right you need that otherwise we can't deal with it yeah football fine baseball gone did you baseball gone did you see the ump who got hit in the nuts three times Did the Little League game? I didn't see it. Here it is. Can I see it? It's unbelievable. Start it from the beginning and get the sound.

2:16:36PFT Commenter:That's one.

2:16:48PFT Commenter:Time on me.

2:16:49Big Cat:My time. Oh, my God. Hold on.

2:17:00Big Cat:isn't that the best i love it when the little kid catcher is like checking on him yeah to the first

2:17:05PFT Commenter:one isn't it great like you okay sir you know that like you'll i always i always judge like if i could still laugh at like nut shots and puke videos i still got to the day you're dead yeah by the way easy dad joke black and blue now not just blue black and blue black and blue my dad we were at a what game were we at we were at a game together I'll never forget I was in I was in high school I think I want to say it was a Cubs game the only reason I'm going back and forth because we would go to Sox games sometimes because my dad's good friend's father is a Hall of Fame White Sox so it's kind of crazy it was like we would go to those because his dad has a statue and it's nuts but I think it was a Cubs game we were at and we were at the urinal and I was in high school and we walk in there and there's a guy in the stall and I can hear he's going like Like, fuck, god damn.

2:17:54Like he's struggling, you know? And my dad's next to me and we're pissing. And then the guy, just the longest loudest, just like, just like a rumbling. Like he was waiting for this. And my dad started laughing. And then I started laughing and I thought, they don't ever get old. Farts literally never. It made me feel like, oh, my dad is like me. Yeah. Because you see your dad as like this powerful figure. I'm like, no, he's a guy still. you don't lose being an immature guy even when you have to be dad yeah yeah it was what we shared a

2:18:26PFT Commenter:fart together it was beautiful yeah i remember when i was a kid my my dad is six three and when we were walking up the stairs he'd fart in my face oh that's like that's a fun that's just that i do it to my kids now it's like it's a fun like if you can get your kid like right like going behind you in the stairs and their face is right there it's like bang easy have this or fart and keep the windows up in the car love that's so funny dude you child lock the windows the funniest thing

2:18:49Big Cat:in the world you know who doesn't like farts is dogs yeah they hate it my dog gets pissed at they get mad at you i've farted on my dog if one time i did it as a joke and he for the first time and only time he looked like he was gonna bite me yeah he might he like knew what it was yeah that's a sign of disrespect it is but when he does it he also like it's he gets confused by his own ass when he farts he's like what was that but when i do it he knows exactly what it is he's like fuck you for doing that buddy yeah he yeah because he knows that he knows that's not supposed to happen Yeah. Like that seems strange.

2:19:18Big Cat:Yeah, dogs never fart on each other. So he's like, you did something. Well, because they smell ass a lot. Yeah. And so they know what ass smells like. So when that comes out, they go, that I don't like. Yeah. I don't like you to push it at me. I'll smell it if I'm interested. That would be a good stand-up special is just farting. Yeah. There's a few that are out there like that. Just ripping ass. Just hit me in my nuts every like five minutes. Got a clock on stage, four minutes, 59 seconds till next nut shot. A ball to the nuts will literally never get. Never. It will never get old. It's such a funny moment in time.

2:19:47Like with jackass, they did it so much that it looked painful and sad at some point. You're like, leave that guy's dick alone. This is bad. Snake, yeah. But it's like that when it's an accident. Oh, it's great. You need an ump to get hit in the nuts. You're right. Umps, no cup. How about this? If the umps are going to stay in the game, I want it more dangerous. Yeah. No mask behind. No mask. Oh, I like that. Yeah. Tie their hands behind their back.

2:20:10Big Cat:We'll get back to Andrew Santino in a second. He's brought to you by Mountain Dew. Hear this? that's the sound of an ice cold mountain dew opening up it is delicious what a great drink perfect drink for football season perfect drink for the summertime if you're hanging out with friends if it's warm outside if you're golfing if you're on the boat perfect boat drink mountain dew nothing goes better with summertime and football and hanging with your friends than the refreshing citrusy kick of mountain dew we're drinking do's all over the office we're drinking them at camp barstool they're a great sponsor there and I also love the new cans that they got.

2:20:45Big Cat:The retro look, it's a great looking can, great tasting drink. Grab a Dew in the new packaging and enjoy the refreshing citrus kick of Mountain Dew. And now here's more Andrew Santino.

2:20:57PFT Commenter:All right, so when your special comes out, do you then go on tour? Does that kind of suck to be like? I'm going to do some new dates. I'm doing dates. I'm going to be back around, bouncing around, working on a new hour because the special we filmed in February. So I've been off working on my new hour in LA and then in New York for a second. And then now I've been home here for a month. But yeah, so I'll be touring again. I'm doing like Halloween weekend, San Francisco. I'm doing Tempe. I'm going back to Arizona State, which is great. I've never played the Tempe improv. And that's like a homecoming.

2:21:28I played the theater downtown, but yeah, I'm doing casino gigs all over. I'll be in Atlantic City and everywhere so people can come see me. I'm working out the new hour. Do you like the travel or does it get like... No, dude, it's out of sight, out of mind at this point. I don't like the jump around travel. When we're on tour tour, this is easy. Because I do a weekend. I get to go home. I do a weekend. But when we stay on the bus, like when Bobby and I were on a bus, oh my God, dude.

2:21:54PFT Commenter:Yeah, you like the Bill Burr tour. I remember talking to him about it, and he was like, yeah, I just go for two nights and fly right back home. Yeah, that's the best. But when you stay on the bus with somebody, even your best of friend, you guys will slit each other's throat. Oh, we do a bunch of trips during the year, and it's always funny because we joke that somewhere around the fourth day, there'll be a moment where we're all in a car together, and we're just not speaking. Yeah. And we're just silent. And it's not intentional, but it's like, yeah, we kind of need our own space right now. Let's all just take a break.

2:22:27Week two for us is dangerous week. Yeah. It's a dangerous week. The first week is still ho-hummy. We go out to great dinners every night, and we're taking care of the crew. and it's just kind of, it's very chummy. Everyone is like stoked still. Week two, good night. That is the break era. Yeah.

2:22:44Big Cat:Do you plan your dates around like good golf courses? Yeah, I usually do. Like when I used to tour doing clubs, I used to plan them around baseball season. Love that. So I'd find out where, because I always wanted to go to as many games as I could. I'll still do that. Dude, I go to games alone. I was out in Virginia for this live thing and I went to DC. I was like, I want to go see the Natty. So I just went and poked down there and I'll do that as much as I can. I'll go to so many games by myself. Oh, it's the best. I love self-baseball. Baseball by yourself is awesome. It's unbelievable. And also you don't have to worry about tickets and da-da.

2:23:16There's always a single ticket. There's always a single ticket. I would tell more people to go to baseball games alone. Agreed. You lock into the game and you're watching the game. Yeah, I'm not on my phone. I don't have anybody to talk to. I don't have to go worry about going to get another. It's like just sit there, have a few. and honestly i've made more friends in my like around me just talking shit than i would have ever done if i went with other people that i knew yeah yeah it's a great idea i like to do that with movies every now and again i just dude i just went to go see uh honey don't uh the um what's wrong with me uh uh all right i'm gonna why why can't i think of her name dude uh margaret

2:23:55PFT Commenter:qualley that's her name we're not really big celebrity guys no no but i mean it's a good i I went to go see the movie because it's a Coen Brothers movie. Well, it's only one of them. Oh, it's just a Coen brother? Coen brother. I think it's Ethan Coen, maybe. Honey, don't. Is he the better Coen? I don't even know which one's which. Yeah. You know what I mean? Why'd they split up? Is this the first time they split up? I don't know if it's the first time they've split up, but this is kind of one of those, this was a foray into his own thing. But honey, please, honey, don't. Honey, don't. Okay. I can't remember the name because it was one of those, you know.

2:24:26Do you want to be in some movies coming out? I'm out, dude. I'm out. business in the business i'm out what if they call you up and podcast your agent calls you up we did happy gilmore as podcasters yeah yeah podcasters like i said dude i'm on the uh i'm literally on the give me someone like andrew santino who the fuck is andrew santino i'm on that side of the hill it's a young man's game i'm 42 in a month and i've had a great i love doing dave i love doing i'm dying up here i had a great fun time but like the business has changed and i have more fun doing stand-up and podcasting by far than I ever did doing that other stuff so it would be cool maybe but dude I don't think so.

2:25:05PFT Commenter:So what if your agent calls you up and like hey I got a lead role for you you're just like nah? If it's rad is it rad? Yeah you're the new Superman. No I'm not doing that shit. Why not? Superman? Representation matters. Think about all the ginger kids it'd be like holy shit Superman's a ginger? It's a lie I'm feeding them a lie. Every little redhead I was like you can't be super rad dude you can't even be out in the sun for more than an hour what are you talking about dude does Krypton have a sun I don't think the planet has a sun I don't think so also he's mostly covered yeah he's mostly covered he's wearing a sun shirt you'd have to give me it'd have to be something really cool something like we've gone through the ringer I've pitched a bunch of shows we sold a show a couple years ago it never got made as everything does in Hollywood you sell stuff it never gets made bobby and i are doing an animated show with hulu that okay hopefully will come out and uh that's fun because we get to do voices and then have our friends be voices like that's the best thing yeah like i can call you guys up and be like hey will you yeah we will go into the studio and do a voice that's that to me is what i'm looking forward to is like working with my friends and that's the best way to do it is podcasting and creating our little nookie things bob and i did we created a game show that we can't put out why it was a little much oh i want to see it was in i'll send you the copy yeah it's insane i mean it's literally insane like the first episode was john stamos and megan trainer like such a funny combo and we the games were insane i mean dude we did one where it was like smell the guess the race by smell we had the interns we had the interns come and you had to smell the interns and tell me what race they were uh-huh did they get it right uh uh megan got a few right john bombed i mean he got like we put it out on barstool we can't put it out their lawyers will sue us oh oh they will sue us into oblivion i mean dude we had we did the first game we played was um where am i and it's a iconic moment in time right and it's a it's a picture that's mostly covered except for one person and we slowly zoom out and you have to guess it before it zoomed all the way out and the first one was a ups driver at 9 11 like delivering a book.

2:27:11The second one was a guy on Epstein's Island. But these are like random pictures we took from the internet. And the Where Am I bled into this other game. And it was funny, but you could tell that their people were like, absolutely not. So you got to do it with comedians. That's what we're going to do. So that was the pitch. We thought it was funny doing it with people that was fish out of water. Where it's like, you know, you're watching like pop stars and old TV dads be this thing. That was funny and naughty to me because it was like, oh, this is not supposed to be. But with comics, yeah, you'd see that.

2:27:42I mean, it's okay.

2:27:43Big Cat:Let me pitch on a major upgrade for that. Instead of Stamos. Yeah. Jerry O 'Connell. That's a major upgrade. You know the guy? Give him a ring. Major upgrade. Give him a ring. He's done it before. He's replaced Stamos before. Let's do it again. It's kind of his thing. Let's do it again. Next man up. Well, you know Stamos now tours with the Beach Boys. Yeah. Do you know this? Yeah. I did not know that. This is insane. Yeah. He has been for like a decade. Yeah. People kind of don't know about it.

2:28:06PFT Commenter:It was a joke on Full House. Yeah, dude. And then it became a reality. And he can play. And he goes on tour. He called us when he was going to shoot with Bobby and I and was like, I can't make it, dude. And I was like, why? He's like, I have a gig. I was like, are you shooting? I'm thinking a TV show or a movie. I'm like, what are you doing? He's like, no, I'm doing it with the Beach Boys. I'm down in San Diego. And I was like, what, dude? Like, it still doesn't feel right.

2:28:29Big Cat:You're like, no, you're not. But yeah. How does that economy work when you sell a TV show to somebody and then they pay you for it and then they don't do anything with it? This is what they do. This is Hollywood in a nutshell is like buy stuff to shelf it. That's like an old phrase. They used to shelf scripts so other studios couldn't get it. Right. And then now they buy shows because they want the property and they give you a little bit of money to get your beak wet. And then they end up going through a stupid executive process and it either gets noted to death or the executive that bought it from you got fired and they brought in the woman that ran Lysol or something.

2:29:07The way they operate is great. She was at Nabisco and you're like, she's running a studio now? It doesn't make any sense. So then you have a new executive you have to appeal to and they're like, I don't like that show. And then it doesn't happen. And this is kind of the development process in Hollywood. Unless you are Seth Rogen and you can call up literally everyone and go, make my show. And they're like, you got it. But at our level, it's like, you know, we're just trying to get a nibble. You know, we're like, hey, we have this fun show. Do you want to make it? They're like, maybe. And then we write it and they're like, we love it.

2:29:36and then they note it and then a network is like i don't think i don't know and then someone else is like i think this sucks and then you start going this sucks yeah and then you're like i'm not gonna make this this sucks i mean that happens constant to everybody yeah you pitch a show you

2:29:50Big Cat:actually hate the show you're like they're never gonna make this anyways they they buy it and then they're like we actually want to make the show then you have to work on a show that you hate yeah that happened that happens a lot people do that like a lot a lot they you end up being a part of something that you it wasn't the original idea yeah and then people get frustrated and they're like, well, I don't want to make this show. And then they tank the show on purpose. Yeah. This happens all the time. I mean, dude, this is the business. You're dealing with these machines. Did you think they weren't going to screw you over?

2:30:14They're machines. Right. What did we think was going to happen? So we just try to make our own stuff, do our best that we can, given the parameters, and then keep having fun. I mean, dude, we're going to die. Buy the car, take the ride. Good point. Kiss the girl. I like this. We're going to die, dude. I like this. That's good.

2:30:32Big Cat:Watch White Noise. Yeah. Please watch White Noise out on Hulu. I would appreciate it. And then come see me live. I do always say, specials are fun, but live is always better. I don't care what comic you are. There's maybe been four comics in our history who have made as good of live specials as they were live. And you can name them. And most people, they like your special maybe, but live is always going to be better. You cannot be live entertainment. You're in it. You're inside of this magic moment, this private little room with just us. You know what I mean? There's something about it that's powerful and fun.

2:31:07Come see the kid.

2:31:08PFT Commenter:All right. I got one last question. Roback question. Give it to me. R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com. Promo code TAKE. 20 % off your first purchase. Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com. Promo code TAKE. Can you ask? I don't know if... I think you have enough of a relationship with him. Going back to the first question. Can you ask Travis if there was a little part of him was like, maybe I should have changed my Instagram handle before I got engaged to... I'll ask him, yeah. Hillitrav. Kill a Trap is pretty great, though. But it was very funny to be like, Taylor Swift got engaged to Kill a Trap.

2:31:37Yeah. It sounds like a rapper from Chicago. Is that Kill a Trap from Back of the Yard? Yeah, we said it was an AIM screen name. You make it when you're 10 years old being like, this is sick. What was your AOL screen name? Wait, how old are you again? 40. How old are you? 40. Yeah, we're all close to the same. I'm 42. I think mine was, because my last name is Santino. Yeah. And so then it became Tino, and someone said Tisno. and so I think it was like Tisno 420 or something like that something else too but like

2:32:07PFT Commenter:Dan Katz, Dan K mine was Dank Nugs Dank Nugs dude oh fuck dude he smokes

2:32:17Big Cat:I'm always getting stoned dude Dank Nugs mine actually the first one I had was Billabong I had like a Billabong shirt and I was like this shirt's pretty fucking cool it is pretty cool it was cool And my mom was like, why is that your screen? I was like, I like the shirt you got me, mom. Yeah, you bought it. Yeah, it has nothing to do with it. Don't get weird with me. Yeah. I'll text him and ask him about it. It's actually a good question. I'm going to see him. I'm going down to week two to go see them in the Eagles.

2:32:41PFT Commenter:Yeah. Just be like, hey. I'll ask him. Just think, baby. You know, Travis Kelsey is a pretty well-known name now. Could have changed his name. We don't know this when we set up. Yeah. My handle's Chito Santino because of a story, a true story about it turned into a joke when I was a young stand-up. I was playing basketball with these Mexican dudes on the east side of LA and they saw my leg hair and this is an old bit but there he was like oh damn dude you got orange leg hair dog and I was like yeah he's like it looks like if you ate a bag of Cheetos and you wiped a finger dust all over your skin dog and they kept joking about it he's like Cheeto legs dog and Cheeto I just took it because I hated it it bothered me and I was like I'll just use it yeah and it and then now I'm like I'm a grown man yeah but whatever you can't flip it you gotta say you gotta keep it also and I'm gonna say this I love you guys I appreciate you guys every time I come here treat me well this place is very nice and warm and beautiful the people you have walking around here some of the goons you have oh yeah we got slugged around the halls oh yeah who are you talking about who in particular honestly I'd have to point I'd have to not him he's rad Zach yeah he's rad yeah no there's just as i sit in the lobby you see people come and they go and you got some real gooners dude yeah we do scary looking gooners it's good though it's like good vibes you have its natural security yeah yeah it's no one's gonna walk in when they see some of this and then i i got to meet a young man here a young redheaded kid who's a new newer to stand up he was saying uh oh mooc yeah mooc yeah yeah yeah nice kid he came up and said hi and then he was like he's from uh philly philly that's exactly right and just moved here but he wanted to introduce himself and i I said, this is a nice young man.

2:34:17He looked pulled enough together. But you do have some slugs. He might be the answer to get me someone like Andrew Santino in a couple years.

2:34:24PFT Commenter:He doesn't have it, dude. No, no. He's probably a great guy, man. He seemed like a super nice guy. Yeah, he can take my spot. Take all the bullshit that comes along with it. Yeah. All right, Santino. Thanks, man. Thank you, boys. Always love having you on. Appreciate you. Thanks.

2:35:35PFT Commenter:Just one.

2:35:37Big Cat:Damn. Because we got a big match coming up.

2:35:40PFT Commenter:Yeah. But yeah. I mean, just simulator. Simulator work. um it is that's when it's nice when it's nice weather and it's like i feel for the people people in the cubes when it's like you just look outside like damn yeah uh i guess the only real fire fest is is i filled in filled in for big cat and softball i was not on the the summer pugs filled in i think i filled in twice this year we lost both games filled in last night pitcher playoffs we had a big lead this team in the seven seven inning game in the bottom of the six they just did the thing where they just wouldn't swing the bat just get guys on you gotta pitch strikes i was i felt like i was pitching strikes i was not pitching strikes and how many walks in a row i think three i got three four total in the inning i would not walk three guys in a row Yeah.

2:36:32PFT Commenter:I mean, you should have been there. I should have been there.

2:36:34Big Cat:Were you starting to do the thing where you do the dance off the mound, like the sidesteps?

2:36:37PFT Commenter:I was doing the sidesteps. I did strike a kid out looking.

2:36:42Big Cat:That's awesome. Backwards K and softball.

2:36:45PFT Commenter:They were chirping. We blew a 13-7 lead. Yikes. But no one had a cartoon fall. No one had a cartoon fall. It's a meltdown. Listen, I'm a sub, so I don't get involved with the roster and the placing of players and stuff. So I was just there to put the ball in play. I couldn't do that. I had too many walks. So hand up. I lost the Pugs this season. Damn. It's hard to hear that. Yeah. It's hard to hear that.

2:37:16Big Cat:And you're not even on the team. No. Does that sting more or less?

2:37:22PFT Commenter:It stings more because we were up. We were playing really well. like I've played in the spring. It was probably the best game I felt like we had played up until the sixth inning. Some good defensive plays, great hitting. Max had, it wasn't a cartoon slide, but Max did like a major league slide for no reason last time. It was in the last inning. Very funny. I scored from second on a ground ball to short. Oh, hell yes, Max. Max runs short. So I slid home. I did a little I did like a wraparound slide Trying to avoid a tag And the catcher never Never caught the ball I would love to But But I I mean my My entire The entire side of my body Is now scraped Like all hell I was wearing shorts Playoffs But it was playoffs The last inning Playoffs We were up two And it brought us up three And then Playoffs Yeah Playoffs Memes almost killed a guy With a soccer ball That was also a highlight That's pretty funny Like a soccer ball Came into the field memes was kicking it back and it was i don't inches away the guy had his headphones in so we were like oh and he didn't hear it and it landed like directly behind him oh that's hilarious

2:38:32Big Cat:that's amazing uh all right pft um i had a a fire fest happened to me it was like gradually developing over the course of the week but i didn't realize the extent that it had developed until this morning so uh i was out for a run not to brag a couple days ago that is a brag and i I was jogging my neighborhood and I saw my car was parked out on the street because I had the El Camino in the garage. And the other car was on the street. I noticed the boot was put on my car. Right? The parking boot. Yeah. So I saw that and I was like, okay, mental note. I need to call this number when I get back from my jog.

2:39:10Big Cat:See about getting this boot off. I get back from my jog, forget to call the boot number. Next morning, I go out to go to work. my car's gone they towed it they towed it they towed it so then i had to track down my car you don't have street parking i do have street parking but i never bought here's the thing about chicago they make you buy you have to register your car you gotta pay like the tax and all that stuff and then you gotta you just have to like go to your local warlord and be like here's 250 for a sticker i can put on it you can do it online well i did not know that yeah the uh yes you did you don't have street parking so i i don't know but i don't have you don't have the part you don't have your your zone there's there's no nobody ever gave me anything to put on my car for my neighborhood that sucks um and then i find out online yeah it had been towed to a tow pound that's actually close by the office so at lunchtime today i get into an uber drive to the tow pound they let me out the people that work at tow pounds i understand that like it's a i don't want to go brit mchenry on you right now uh it's not i forgot about yeah you remember that i'm on tv okay uh it's not a great job it's a bad job you're dealing with people who are very pissed off but it takes a certain type of person to work at a place where everyone's mad at them all day and then it makes them mad and then they become assholes too yeah the starting the starting place for every interaction is bad is bad no one's happy to see you correct all day so i go in and i'm i I always take the mindset in these types of situations, like I'm going to be like maybe the nicest person that they've seen all day.

2:40:46PFT Commenter:You're going to get a stripper to fall in love with you.

2:40:47Big Cat:It's not their fault my car was towed. Yeah. We'll get to whose fault it was later. So I go up to the person and they're like, yeah, okay, we can get you over to our cashier, but first you need to give me your registration. And I was like, well, I don't have my registration. It's in my car. And then that was a big deal. They're like, what are you? You don't have your registration. I was like, no, it's in your car. That's in your lot. So I have to get to that. Wait about 30 minutes. Get finally driven out to my car. I go in. I grab my registration. Turns out it's the registration from a year ago.

2:41:22Big Cat:And my registration is up to date, but I don't have that registration. So I bring that up inside and I'm like, okay, hopefully they won't notice the date on this. I hand them the registration within half a second. He's like, this is expired. Sends right back. So I'm like, okay, so what can I do to get my car back? He's like, well, I need you to have a sticker. It looks like you don't have a parking sticker. And so to get the parking sticker, he's like, you have to walk to the currency exchange, which is 10 minutes away. So I walked to the currency exchange, buy the sticker, 250 bucks for the sticker, which by the way, expires in six months, walk all the way back.

2:41:59Big Cat:Then I show that to the person. Then they're like, okay, now you have to wait in line for the cashier. And I wait in line. I'm at the cashier and the lady tells, she stiff arms me. She goes, you have to wait until I call you. And I was like, oh, I thought I just had to wait in line here. I get sat down. I wait probably two minutes. And then she says my name. She's proving a point. She put you in timeout. She put me in timeout. She's proving a point. And I'm trying my best to hold everything together. And she was like, yeah, did you get your sticker? I was like, yeah, that's a stupid rule. And she's like, excuse me, but that's the law.

2:42:30Big Cat:I was like, I know you don't make the law. I'm sorry. I slipped real quick. So then she hands me my bill. and my bill is a thousand dollars to get my car back because it turns out i had like five unpaid parking tickets yeah which i did not realize i thought i had like one or two uh so then now i'm twelve hundred dollars lighter then i picked my car up and it's got a sticker on it that will not come off oh yeah the sticker that they put on there is like attached to your car was super you need a razor blade i asked and by the way the guys that were in charge of like driving you back and forth to your car the nicest guys in the world they checked in with me like five times being like hey is there anything else i can help you with one guy was like beat the fuck out of the packers tonight for me i was like okay these guys are cool everyone inside is just it's not their fault because their job sucks yeah and they hate talking to people that are pissed off so that was about three hours out of my day that i spent going back and forth doing paperwork and then getting my debit card charged like four times in order to make it but finally i got my car back okay so that's so whose fault was it got told it was it was my fault that it got number one i probably should have called the second i saw the boot on there number two i probably should have paid for my parking tickets which i didn't but in my defense i'm very lazy yeah number three you can

2:43:43PFT Commenter:get the sticker online and you should have auto renew well now i got a sticker yeah i got i got

2:43:47Big Cat:too many stickers on my car yeah you got the sticker and also i don't know what they build the ground in the uh the tow pound out of but my car looks like it got driven through dune oh yeah

2:43:56PFT Commenter:it's just covered in sand yeah there's one on lower whacker the the that i've been uh towed two before and that one is like it's gotham city yeah it's it's so at least you have to go to that

2:44:08Big Cat:one well the the walk to the currency exchange was pretty dicey today yeah and it put me in some places where i i stood out a little bit in my awesome nfl shirt uh no maybe just a little bit uh but yeah that was a that was a whole trip and then the guy at the currency exchange was like yeah so normally i could sell you a street parking permit thing for like 60 bucks but it's not letting me so i have to charge you the 250 for it shit i was like that sounds okay sounds reasonable he shouldn't even told you that that's i know i know that was well they have temporary stickers too

2:44:40PFT Commenter:like if people come and visit your house you can give them a sticker so they can park on the street

2:44:44Big Cat:yeah so that was bad and there were several instances today where i thought i was not getting my car back like i had to go to the dmv make another appointment and then go back to the car place so i'm all in all i'm glad i got can i say something i'm i'm proud of you because i think i

2:44:57PFT Commenter:would have given up at some point there i thought about it and just been like all right new car I thought about it. I'm going to drive the van now. I was like, I've got another car. Yeah.

2:45:05Big Cat:I will do that.

2:45:06PFT Commenter:All right. My fire fest. My ear popped finally on Friday. I got on another flight. So it was three days, four days with my ear. I didn't kill myself. That was good. So that's a positive. I also. Better help. I think this is like sleep deprivation, but I've woken up three times this week and not known what day it is. I got to figure that out. If that's like a brain thing that's going on.

2:45:28Big Cat:Do you know if it's a football day or a non-football day?

2:45:30PFT Commenter:I thought on Tuesday I woke up and I thought it was Thursday. On Wednesday - That's a bad feeling. Wednesday I woke up and I also thought it was Thursday. Today I woke up and I thought it was Friday.

2:45:44Big Cat:Okay. That's not good. No. Because there are distinct feelings I have when I wake up. If there's football on later on that day, I know the second I open my eyes. Yes. I got like a bright-eyed bushy tail.

2:45:55PFT Commenter:I'll blame the Bears on that one. Got me all out. And then the last one is not really a fire fest, but listen, there's no regret. I don't really know what I'm going to do with this new van, and it was expensive, but not regret. Not regretting anything. Not regretting anything. At all. It's sick. I just need to get a license on it so that I can drive it around. Then I'll be like, this is sick. Right now, it's just sitting in our loading dock, and I can't drive it because I don't have a license yet. A license plate. We got to get a custom license plate. Yeah. Vanny? I don't know. what if it just said Zach?

2:46:30PFT Commenter:That would be sick.

2:46:34Big Cat:Zach, what's your FireFest? My FireFest of the week is, so earlier in the week, we had a group shoot around, me, Hank, Memes, and Max with the automatic rebounding machine. And I'm curious if this has happened to you guys before. Have you ever thought back to like the last time you did something and you performed okay at it and you're like, oh, this will be fun. This will go all right. Like I can do this. Yeah, softball. I had that exact same thought going into shoot-around day with the boys. I was like, oh, I'm going to make some shots here today. This is going to be great. Nice workout, good sweat.

2:47:08Big Cat:Bricks the entire time.

2:47:09PFT Commenter:You didn't make any shots? No. They weren't that bad.

2:47:12Big Cat:You guys are great teammates, and I appreciate you saying that. A little fatigued. There would be like an eight, nine shot run, and then you know it's going back. Then you hear that one goes in, and it's like, great shot. It's like, I'm not going to be able to reproduce that.

2:47:22PFT Commenter:That was the only one. Yeah. Came short in the net a couple times. That wasn't the best. But you hit a couple. You hit multiple times. You hit two in a row. You just described golf for me, like where I'll have one good shot on 18, and then I'll come back and be like, I think I'm good now. And then I'm like, no, I'm not. I'm really, really bad.

2:47:40Big Cat:What's your game normally like? It's the worst feeling in the world. Historically, not the worst. I thought going into the shoot-around may be better all-time low as of right now. Zach was looking up YouTube videos on how to shoot a basketball before we went out.

2:47:53PFT Commenter:That's good. Some refreshers? Yeah You're a sponge You're coachable Yes sir Refresh Monday gun day though We're doing it every Monday Alright what time I don't know Afternoon Alright I'm in After the act yeah Yeah I haven't I need to get my shot back We start doing runs again too Yeah

2:48:16Big Cat:For big noon kickoff You're calling tomorrow You should play basketball though

2:48:19PFT Commenter:Tune in to big noon kickoff by the way I'll be on the show on Saturday From Evanston so I got a bunch of different things also Firefest we did like the meeting for Big Noon kickoff and they were like what do you have for this matchup and I was like I've said this before but I have a long standing theory that Evanston at 11am is the toughest place to play in the country and then Fox has a stats person who looked it up to try to give me some juice for it it was like 9 out of 12 were just Wisconsin losses it's just like this is probably why I was like yeah that is why My fire friend's PFT to invite me to golf Oh that is actually really tough Ooh friendship on the rocks I also can't catch an infigil pop up You can't catch an infigil pop up?

2:49:04PFT Commenter:I wasn't so I might take the bar still after dark Oh yeah the bar still after dark was bad You tortured yourself My body will never recover Good news is you'll get to run that mile While drinking milk No I never agreed to that Alright numbers Good job memes Bang. Way to go. 22. 33. I'm going 5-9. What was your backup memes? Bryce and Kyler. 89. 89. Why did you tell him that?

2:49:36Big Cat:26. 99. 19. 76.

2:49:45Big Cat:23. 23. 23 and one off. Can I tell you guys something real quick? I'm very proud of Zach for. What? So you alluded to the milk mile thing that he might have to do. Yeah. That Max might have to do. Max is doing. I overheard one unnamed Barstool employee who's in charge of rounding people up and making them sign waivers to do this milk mile thing. And they approached Zach and laid the sales pitch on thick, like tried to bully Zach into signing this thing,

2:50:16PFT Commenter:pretty much put the pin in his hand and moved his hand for him,

2:50:19Big Cat:thinking that they could steamroll Zach. Zach recognized immediately what was happening, and he stopped him, and he goes, I just want to say, it feels like you are very prepared for this conversation, and I'm not prepared at all to have this conversation that you're asking me to do, so I need to regroup, and I need to take a beat, and I can circle back and get you tomorrow, and I will let you know if I want to sign or if I do not want to sign. Just absolutely stiff-armed. Good job, Zach. It was awesome, Zach. Did you sign? Still sign.

2:50:48Big Cat:But what I heard was very impressive out of Zach. to find his boundaries and said, you're crossing it. I'm not going to say the guy's name, but it's Tate. I'm not going to dance for you, Tate. And then he was like, okay. And then he came over the top of the head. Good job, Zach. I'm proud of you. Yeah. Ready to run. Yeah. All right. Love you guys.

2:51:22Thank you.

2:51:51Thank you.

2:52:26Thank you.

2:52:52Thank you.
